Hello everyone and welcome, welcome to our Seasaw for schools back to school with CSV rostering. I'm so excited to have you join us today where we're going to show you how to get your school set up with CSV rostering. And this session is for administrators that have used CSV rostering in the past and will be continuing to use that for the new school year. So I would love to get an idea of who we have in the room, we will be communicating primarily via chat so go ahead and open up your chat. When you first open it up next to to you'll notice that it says panelists if you just click that little arrow that drop down arrow and change it to panelists and attendees, then everyone can see your responses in the chat any questions that you have. If you do that in the chat drop in your name what district you're from and your role. Welcome, welcome. Hello, Lucas. Welcome. Hi Ashley welcome. Hello, Ali. Welcome Jill. Welcome Lisa. Hi Angela welcome. Hello Beth hello Mary. Welcome. Hello, Nicole. Hi Julie. Oh Julie you're from Chicago so am I. Hi Kelly welcome. Hi Courtney. Welcome welcome. Hello Deb. Hello Janice. Hi Anne. All right, great to see you all so we're going to get started with some introductions. I am Mia. I am the training and professional development specialist here at Seesaw I am based in Chicago, Illinois. And I am a former kindergarten teacher so I'm excited to be with you today. I also have two of my colleagues with me today. Would you all Jim would you like to introduce yourself. Hi my name is Jennifer and I've been with Seesaw for about a year now working as a customer support support specialist with our large districts. Thank you. And then we have Brie as well she'll introduce herself. Hi, my name is Brie and I'm an implementation consultant I've been with Seesaw for about three years. Hi so I will be walking you through how to roster with CSV and Jennifer and Brie will be in the back channel so they will be answering any questions that you drop into the chat. If you are just joining me make sure when you open up that chat next to to you just click that little drop down arrow and change it to panelists and attendees that way so everyone. Not just the panel can see your question so this is very helpful. If you do have the same question. We also have a Q&A so if you will prefer to open that up and drop your questions in the Q&A, then that would be awesome. As I mentioned Jennifer and Brie will be checking those and responding to your questions. This session is being recorded, you will receive a follow up email in about 24 hours so just give us 24 hours and in that follow up, you will receive the slides that we are going through today, as well as the recording and a certificate of completion. So I think that we have all of the housekeeping things out of the way. So let's go ahead and get started. So as a reminder, this webinar is for admin who have used CSVs to roster their classes last year and are using the same rostering method this back to school. Hi Stephanie. All right. Just want to point out if you will be making any changes to the number of students licenses or schools that you are syncing just make sure that you reach out to us and let us know. So here is our agenda for the next hour. I like to call it our roadmap. So today we're going to cover our CSV rostering method which allows you to upload data from your SIS into CSaw to create your classes. After that we will go over data cleanup steps after you've rostered to just ensure that you have accurate analytics for the new school year. And then next we will get into some bulk updates and then finally I am going to share with you some additional resources that you can use to support your staff in training and PD and just anything that you need. All right. So before we get started, I just want to make sure that everyone is signed into their CSaw for schools district admin account. So when you go to web.csaw.me, you're going to select a CSaw for schools administrator and you're going to sign in that way. We'll drop a link in the chat to a video just in case you need any help with sign in. We'll have Brie or Jennifer drop that in the chat for you guys just so you'll have it. All right, so we are signed in and ready to go. The first thing that we need to do is to create your CSV using your SIS and upload it into CSaw. To upload your data into CSaw, you will need to use our CSaw for schools setup template, and you're going to have to fill that out. You're going to be prompted to make a copy of that template and complete it. Most data can be copied and pasted directly from your SIS into this template that we are having you copy and complete. We'll also drop a link into the chat for that links directly to that template for you to make a copy of. All right, so once you actually make a copy, you are going to need to gather the following information from your SIS. So you're going to need a unique class name for each class that you're creating, you're going to have to identify the grade level for each class. You're going to need that teacher's first and last name, all of the teachers that you are setting up. You're going to need teacher emails, student names, student IDs, and if you are using email or Google sign in, you will need to include a student email address. For email sign in, you will also need to include a password for each student. As a reminder, student IDs must be a unique ID number that will not change during the course of that student's career at your school. For your returning students, you will need to use the ID number that you assigned them last year. So we want to make sure that that ID is unique for that student because that is how their portfolios follow them from year to year. We do have some suggestions when you are creating your classes in the CSV. So we recommend for younger students for our babies that you create one homeroom for each of your teachers and add any specialists as co-teachers. It's often difficult for the little ones to go back and forth between classes, so this is what we recommend for your younger students, kindergarten through second grade or third grade. For older students, if teachers and specialists have their own class periods, then we suggest creating individual classes for each period. If specialists visit or push into a homeroom class, we recommend then adding that specialist as a co-teacher to that homeroom class. For grade level, you are going to select the appropriate grade level for the class from the drop-down menu. You'll notice that there'll be a little arrow there. Only one grade level can be selected per class, regardless of the actual grade levels in that class. However, the grade level of the class can be adjusted after the CSV import if necessary. The steps for clever lining are slightly different. If you are a school that used clever last year in our returning, we do have a webinar on Wednesday for that. Maybe Jennifer or Brie can drop the link to the registration for that in the chat there. All right, so you have your grade level selected. And the next thing that you need to select is a sign-in mode for each class. Pre-K through third grade typically uses class code sign-ins. Pre-K students will log into their class by scanning a unique QR code. The CSV import will default to class code one-to-one. However, teachers or admin can set it to shared devices after the import. For grades four through 12, they usually use email or Google sign-in. If students do not have email addresses, then you can choose class code sign-in. And we'll drop a link into the chat to help with how students sign-in. So you're going to fill in the template that you copy with information from each class using one row per student, like you see here in this example. In the CSV template that you make a copy of, there is an example. And that is underneath the tab that is titled example class roster in the setup template. So if you forget the structure of filling this out, there is an example that you can refer to directly in that template. Just a couple of things that we want to make sure that you keep in mind. There is a field explanation on that Seesaw for School setup template to help you if you are unsure as to what information to enter into the template. And another reminder is to save and export your spreadsheet as a CSV file. Other file formats are not supported. So when you finish filling out that template out your CSV template, then you can upload it directly to Seesaw. So what you're going to do is you're going to navigate back to your school dashboard. And then you're underneath the overview tab you're going to go to those admin tools and then you are going to select setup school roster. And then you're going to tap select CSV from your computer. So I am just going to go ahead and here is let's see, I have a copy. I'm going to go back and just kind of review for a second so that you guys so everyone is clear on. Here we go. So here I'm going to take a look at this spreadsheet here so here is the spreadsheet that you are going to be prompted to make a copy of this is that Seesaw for Schools template. So go ahead and click make a copy. Mine is loading here. And this is a copy of that template. So you are actually going to enter all your data into the fourth tab so this first tab includes your general instructions about making a copy of this file and following the steps. You can see the second tab. This is where you can find those field explanations. These field explanations are going to just explain the type of information that you should include in each field of the template here. And the next tab is an example of a completed template so you can see there you have a model or a guide for you. And then finally that last tab is the tab that you will actually enter your information into. So this is what that template looks like when you copy that and I see in the chat someone did ask for the clever class link zoom link so i'm going to go ahead I don't think that's been dropped in yet. Sorry about that delay so that is the link for Wednesday session so if you are rostering with clever or class length and you can go ahead and log off of this session and join us on Wednesday. Okay, so after you complete your very welcome key. So after you complete this setup template here, then you're going to save that you're going to go ahead and make sure that you save and export that this sheet right here as a CSV. So back into your dashboard so here is my my test dashboard here and you're going to go into now you're going to upload that template to seesaw.  And then you're going to click that button that says select CSV from your computer, and that is how you upload that directly. After you do upload after you do upload that your roster you completed template to see saw, you are going to. You're going to receive a summary of the classes students and teachers who were created and the existing teachers and students who were updated. If there are any error messages or warnings that appear. Make sure that you read that carefully and then return to your CSV to fix any of those errors so you can see here. In this sample, there are some data errors and it tells you exactly what those are so you would just go to that CSV make those changes, save a new CSV and then you would just upload that new CSV again, and then you will get that same summary and hopefully the second time around, there will not be any errors. All right. Step two, so now that you have imported your roster you'll want to take a few minutes to clean up your classes and student data on your school dashboard in order to ensure accurate analytics for the new school year. Let's skip the head one slide so here you go. If you don't need your teachers or your students to access historical portfolio, then you can skip this step. So seesaw uses the student ID to keep student portfolios from different classes in years together. Students who started off on the few using the free version of seesaw, these students do not have a student ID. Some of these students may also have multiple journals because they use seesaw and multiple classes. So what you're going to need to do is to assign the students a student ID and merge any duplicate journals. If you want your students to have access to historic data and have one cohesive journal. So you're going to do that. Again, in the overview tab underneath admin tools, you're going to select assign missing student IDs in your school dashboard and you're going to go ahead and click on that. And then that you're going to be able to view a report of all student accounts that have neither a student ID nor an email. While you're adding IDs for students an option to merge will appear if the student ID is already in use so you can see here in red. It says ID in use by Bruce B, you will have an option to click merge there click here to merge to confirm that the accounts are duplicates of the same students. If they are, then you can follow the steps to merge those two accounts, just so you know student merges cannot be undone so we want to make sure that we are clear. Alright, so next you will want to bulk archive old classes in order to clean up any classes that were created outside of your roster import for this year. You may include classes that were imported along with existing teacher accounts as well as classes from previous years. So to do so for each school dashboard underneath your admin tools you're going to tap archive old classes, then you're going to select a date. You're going to select a date to archive any classes before that date so we suggest selecting the date you uploaded your CSV roster to archive any classes created before your import. It's important to bulk archive classes before you archive students because you can only archive students that are not enrolled in an active class. Alright, so once your classes for the year have been all set up and you've archived for classes, then you can bulk archive students that are not rostered to an active class. So for example, student accounts that you don't recognize when reviewing and updating existing that you didn't recognize when reviewing and updating existing students earlier. This will ensure accurate analytics and data for the new school year. So from again from admin tools you're going to tap this time archive student accounts. I'll tell you exactly how many students are going to be archived, and then you're going to tap archive old student accounts to continue. Just think I one thing I want to point out is that no data will be deleted without your permission archive students will still be on your dashboard but they will not be taking up any of your seesaw licenses. Alright, so now let me introduce you to the new CSV bulk update tool which will allow you to make updates to your school data if seesaw and seesaw after you've imported your rosters. The CSV bulk update tool is a powerful admin tool that allows seesaw admin to create an update student and teacher accounts update class enrollments and edit class information on the admin dashboard. The CSV bulk update tool can be found underneath the students teachers classes and families tab. So simply locate the button that says bulk update classes you see it's highlighted here in orange, followed by the name of the tab you are currently viewing. If there are accounts or classed classes listed in the tab the button will be located under the tab. If there are no classes or accounts of a certain type connected to your school the button will be in the center of the screen. So tap that button to access the tool and be able to download an editable CSV of existing data or a blank template depending on the changes that you want to make. You'll also tap the button in order to upload those changes to seesaw. Then open the downloaded file in your preferred spreadsheet format program to create new accounts or classes you will use a blank template and fill in the required information. To edit existing data, you will download the existing data and make the edits in the appropriate cell. Then you will save that edited file as a CSV and then you're going to return to the bulk update tool to update the changes to seesaw. And we're going to drop a link in the chat to just the instructions for all of just this particular step for you. So currently you can make the following updates using the CSV bulk update tools. So for teachers you can create new accounts. You can view existing teacher account information and you can add or remove teachers on classes. For students you can create new student accounts and update their email addresses, student IDs, and student enrollment in classes. For classes you can edit the class name, grade level, the sign-in method, and archived or unarchived classes. And for families you can connect family members to student accounts or you can remove them from student accounts. Our team is continuing to work on this tool so you can expect some additional updates from us. So we do have all of these steps and resources at our, at this website here, web.seesaw.me, forward slash technical steps for administrators. We're going to drop that link in the chat for you and we do recommend that you bookmark that. I do want to share just some additional resources to further support your staff in implementing seesaw. So one of which is our resources for administrators page. And on this site there is a link to those technical steps that we just highlighted for you. But on this site you can also find some other resources that may be helpful. So you'll find videos on how to use the admin dashboard. So really how to dig into that data in different ways that you can use that throughout your school year. And you'll find a link to other resources as well. So we'll drop the link to that in the chat. Another resource that you can share directly with your teachers is our resources for teachers page. And on this page you will find a link to our free training site. So our free training site does on that site. It contains our on demand training videos. They are less than 10 minutes long and they're great resource for teachers to help get them started with seesaw and beyond. So we have some videos on getting up and running on setting up your seesaw account creating your first activity but we also have videos that go beyond the basics. So using folders using the blogs. This is a great resource to share with your teachers because it can get them going very very quickly. Also on this resources for teacher site. You will find links to our getting started guides which we are actually updating and will be complete by this Wednesday. And you will find resources on integrating seesaw into classroom instruction. There's one more resource that I want to share with you and that is our professional development page that you can see here. We'll drop that link in the chat as well. But on this page you will find links to our ready to use seesaw professional development kits. And you can you or your in house trainers can use these kits to help support your staff in implementing seesaw to get them trained on seesaw. So this is where you would go to access those resources. If you have any questions about professional development, you can email us at pd pd at seesaw.me and we'll just drop that email in the chat for you as well. All right, and finally we are in the middle of our seesaw connect virtual conference it is free for every educator and admin it began on last Monday. It is going all the way through August 13 so we definitely encourage you to RSVP to get access to over 30 conference courses I do have a course. In the conference as well my course talks all about getting early childhood students up and running for on devices in just six weeks so make sure you check that out. And then finally what we want to share before we open up for questions is that you can nominate educators to fast track ambassadors so if there's anyone at your school that you think would be a great person to have as a seesaw ambassador you can nominate them and fast track that this guarantees successful seesaw implementation and seesaw PD for your school. We are going to drop a link to that type form that you can use to nominate your, any of your staff members to become a seesaw certified ambassador. And now I want to open it up for any questions that you have so it looks like Jennifer and Bree, thank you you've been on top of it with the questions but if there are any additional questions, please make sure you either drop them in the chat, or in the Q&A now. Yes okay so there's a question and Mark can you please I apologize I don't see that question so can you put it back in the chat. Someone else has a question about teacher activities that will create it will they be saved yes. So, all activities that are created are saved to that teachers activity library. And those activities are saved year over year so they do not go anywhere. And there are a couple questions in the Q&A. One from Stephanie, if we are not using any data to go forward to the new academic year is there a way to delete everything and start fresh. Maybe Jennifer or Bree if you want to just unmute yourself and respond to that question you can or it looks like you might have answered those already okay. Okay it looks like there's a question about switching IDs. So Jennifer or Bree can you answer that question please feel free to unmute and just go ahead and respond. Hi there. Yeah, so it's actually we recommend leaving student IDs the same year over year. That will help to keep student journals intact. Thank you and then also there's a question what happens when archiving existing students, and then they are a part of the new class in bulk CSV. Great question. If a student is archived and they are part of the new year's CSV roster they will be unarchived automatically as part of that CSV upload. All right. After archiving can the data be deleted from their account. I would recommend reaching out to support if there is you know if there's a specific issue that you would need help with or if there's a specific reason why you would need data deleted. However on on your end there's not there's not a way to delete accounts and I think the way and I think the way that you're asking. Okay, so Mark's question if we've used seesaw last year will again this year and we have some continuing students and some that aged out of our program and some new students. Do we use the bulk tool or the CSV upload method which one would you recommend. That's a great question. I think it is. I think whichever you are the most comfortable with it might be easiest to to archive your well let's see. Let me reread this question real quick if that's okay. Of course. Thank you. Yeah, I would say the CSV upload method would probably be the easiest. But you really could do either either or. Great. Thank you so much just a couple more questions before we sign off here. Can so Michael wants to know can we reuse the CSV from last year and just change the class in the grade. I think that would depend on if the students are the same. Yeah, I think that would depend on if the students themselves are the same you might have more accurate data if you if you go right from your student information system as it is now. That would probably be what I would recommend rather than going back and editing an old CSV I would probably recommend pulling right from your sis from this year. Great. And then final question here. How can student or teachers review previous work from archive data. Great question. If the question is how do you view archived, you know, archive students and classes, you can do so from your school dashboard and go to the related tab so if you want to look at students you can look at the students tab. And, oh perfect you're going to demo that's great. Yep. Sorry, exit out of that. So here's the student tab. Perfect. If you go to the three dots on the gray bar at the top there. Yes, archived students. This will allow you to see archived students, along with unarchived students, you will be able to tell if they are archived because it will say archived in parentheses next to the student name. And this is a test account so unfortunately we don't have an example that but just so you can see how to access that information. Yeah. And it should be the same for classes as well the same same process classes, three dots show archive classes. Yep, and you can see here content team lunch and learn was archived. And so was the third grade class. All right. And what about the number showed in pending activities for students. I'm not sure last year. I'm not sure what you're asking. So if you can rephrase that question. Okay, let's see the answer that question. So archived last year's classes before uploading the CSV for this year, this, this school year, as some teachers that changed grade levels and I'm not sure if that will be an issue. It sounds like it might be a good idea to do some dashboard cleanup then before introducing your new CSV upload. That way, you're really starting fresh. It sounds like that might be in line with what you're hoping to do. And I think are there any questions that we missed I think we might have gotten them all. Okay, there's one last question, Bri and Jennifer about pending activity so if a student didn't complete an activity last year and that class is archived. Will those, will they be able to complete them I think that's your question. I'm not 100% sure on this question. I believe that I believe that only approved activities are archived along with the student journal. I'm actually fairly certain, but if you know if I would recommend reaching out to support for a better answer. But I think that only approved activities are archived along with the student journal. Thank you all so much for joining us today. I also want to thank Bri and Jennifer for being on hand to answer all your questions. As I mentioned, give us 24 hours and you will receive a follow up email with the link to the recording from today's sessions, along with the slides and a certificate of completion. Good luck with your new school year and happy seesawing everyone.


It's helping you, Nancy, to get a side to you. Merry Christmas, Joe, and a very merry Christmas to all. Nancy and I are together with you in celebration and reflection, celebration of the great miracle nearly 2,000 years ago that brought the Christ child to us and reflection on the great gifts he has bestowed upon us. Christmas casts its glow upon us as it does every year. And it reminds us that we need not feel lonely because we are loved, loved with the greatest love there has ever been or ever will be. In the bustle and rush of daily life, we sometimes forget how very much we have and how much we have to thank God for providing. For things as beautiful as a winter snow or babies who will be seeing their first Christmas, seeing the wonder of its beauty in their eyes, and yes, from the poorest among us to the most fortunate, we are all blessed. Christmas reminds us as well that he taught us all we need to know about caring for our fellow man and to take responsibility for the very condition of the world. Thus we must reflect. We must ever reflect upon the love we have for others and the joy we take in giving of ourselves to those who are less fortunate. From those who must depend on charity to see that their children receive a Christmas present to the tragic victims of famine and earthquake worldwide, we know what it is we must do and how ennobling an experience it is to have done it. We Americans live with bounties that those who lived at the time of the Christ child's birth could never have imagined. The bounties are material, yes, but chiefly, they are spiritual. Those who would worship the birth of our Lord may do so in the church of their choosing and in the way of their choosing. Those among us who do not so celebrate the birth are free to share with us in this our time of joy. In this day, when our freedom to worship is most precious, let us redouble our efforts to bring this and other greatest freedoms to all the peoples of the earth. May we give thanks for a free America, an America united in the wonder of a season that includes not only Christmas, but Hanukkah as well. And as we light this glorious tree, may Nancy and I offer a final wish to all Americans that every Christmas that follows will be as full of joy as we have these past years to work in your service. May God bless you all, and now Nancy will help me light the tree, and again, a very merry Christmas.


Chris Saka is an American Venture Investor, Private Equity Advisor and Public Speaker and probably more recently known for being a Shark Tank Investor on the ABC TV program Shark Tank which began airing in 2009 and has snagged some pretty luxurious real estate throughout California. In fact, 2014 was a real busy year for Mr. Saka in addition to buying a pair of homes side by side in Manhattan Beach. Saka managed to fork out a whopping $6.3 million Palos Verdes Estate House for his parents. What a nice guy. In addition, Saka went on to spread his real estate seed in Carlsbad, California while managing to find time to pay $415K for a 1200 square foot cabin up in Truckee, California near the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.  That's kind of, wow, that's depressing. But this is a house tour you don't want to miss. Give money.  In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses so please do not show up at any private residences because it is not safe for anyone. Chris Saka has made quite the lucrative living, garnering a net worth of $1.2 billion. Chris is the proprietor of Lower Case Capital, a venture capital fund in the United States that has invested in seed and early-stage technology companies such as Twitter, Uber and Instagram. Talk about knowing how to pick things. Prior to founding Lower Case Capital in 2010, Saka had several positions at Google where he led the Alternative Access and Wireless Divisions. His career earnings has been well-earned since 2011. He has been listed on Forbes' Midas list, top tech investors, when he was the youngest of the 100 investors listed. In 2015, Saka was featured on the cover of Forbes magazine, listed number three on the Midas list. And in 2017, he was listed at number two business week, named him one of the top 10 angel investors in Vanity Fair, his name Saka, to its newest establishment list. The investment fund Lower Case Capital has reportedly returned an astonishing $5 billion to investors. Saka announced that he was retiring from venture investing, and along with it, his role on Shark Tank, saying he was two years late on his plan to retire at 40 years old. Life's so tough. Oh my God. Poor you. He said his firm would continue to support his portfolio companies, but would not take on any new investments or raise more money from investors. With all that money in the bank, Chris has managed to build quite the impressive real estate portfolio along the West Coast. In addition to owning side by side homes in Manhattan Beach, purchasing a mansion estate for his parents, owning a cabin near Lake Tahoe, and owning an additional mansion in Washington, it's safe to say Chris's quest to take over the West Coast is nearly complete. Hey what's going on guys? This is Boy In My Apartment, and today we bring you another house tour here for you on Famous Entertainment. I noticed 95% of you guys watching are not subscribed, so please be sure to hit that subscribe button because we post new videos daily, fam. Now we've done house tours on people like Jaden Smith and Miley Cyrus, so if you like those, please hit those up. If you like this video, please hit that bell for notifications. Follow me on Instagram at daddumandflaster.com for more. And let me know who's house tour to do next in the comment section down below. Let's get into the video. In October 2014, just a few months after buying his Manhattan Beach homes, Mr. Saka forked out another $6.3 million for a sprawling Mediterranean villa in the South Bay Los Angeles community of Palos Verdes Estates. This home is less than eight miles from his Manhattan Beach compound, and while the home is not waterfront property, it does sport Pacific ocean views and lies on a family oriented and mostly quiet community. While the residence appears fairly modest from the street, it actually is a mansion that features 7,400 square feet and boasts four bedrooms and six bathrooms. Some of the luxe features included in this home is a lavish pool, a heated terrace, a media room and a 2,200 square foot garage for all of his toys. And we know that boy got some toys with that much money, I would. While the ongoing theme in this house tour will be lavish homes in California, Chris Snagg, the luxurious home in Shoreline, Washington. The home was designed by master architect and was custom built in 1998. The home features over 9,500 square feet and boasts five bedrooms and four bathrooms. And we're talking some unreal features, included game rooms, wine cellar for those that, of course, fancy a chardonnay and outdoor entertaining area with spectacular patio and pool. Other interior features include a large marble bathroom with soaking tub and stand and shower off of the master bedroom, double pane storm windows that are oversized and give the room bright life in an airy and roomy ambiance and elegant French doors. Being the tech guy that Chris is, it's no surprise the home features a high tech cabling and a walk-in pantry big enough to be a room in the house. The dining room is decked out Victorian style with traditional artwork and paintings, large curtains and carpets that resemble those found in a castle and direct access to the manicured grounds. While Saka was absolutely crushing it, he dropped a modest 415K for a tiny 1,200 square foot cabin up in Truckee, California, near the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. Now, why would he do that? Well, it lies right next door to what may have been Mr. Saka's first cabin house, a 2,200 square foot wood cabin, which boasted four bedrooms, a loft level and a hot tub that he bought in early 2009 for 630K. And he still owns, according to property records. So when all is said and done, Mr. Saka has paid a total of one million dollars for his 84 acre mini compound up in the woods. This private luxury community is ranked as Tahoe's best place to own a second home and with good reason. The home features a soaring balcony, oversized floor to ceiling windows and abundance of fireplaces and beautiful patios offering the utmost relaxation and tranquility. Chris Saka clearly loves the beach back in December, 2014. Just two months after purchasing the Palos Verdes house, he dropped another 1.1 million for a lavish home in Calzbad, California. The 1966 house located on the La Costa beach just north of San Diego features 3,400 square feet and boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The home features ample space for relaxation, including a dining room that comes complete with cozy fireplace, large oversized windows and sliding glass doors with access to beautiful terrace. The kitchen features all the modern stainless steel appliances, marble countertops and a beautiful breakfast island perfectly centered. In addition, there are several other dining areas which are decked out with elegant artwork and paintings, modern antiques and glamour chandeliers. While the interior of the home is pretty dope, check out that backyard.  In addition, the pool area is decked out lavish furnishings, manicured greens and rolling lawns of ample space. I do so many cartwheels back there fam, you have no idea. Probably the most luxurious of SACA's real estate portfolio is this two side-by-side houses on Watermanhattan Beach's main streets. Yes, I said it, two side-by-side houses. Back in 2011, he paid 5.2 million for the property, then spent several years and millions of dollars to reconstruct the structure. The property contains approximately 5,000 square foot of modern and eco-friendly living space and boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The home features a formal entry and closed patio and porches and its very own library, like not too shabby, am I right? While the property does not feature a pool, it is literally steps away from a beach. The kitchen is decked out in all modern stainless steel appliances, spectacular gas range oven and breakfast area and bar. One of the living spaces features floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, direct access to the balcony, which boasts terrific ocean views and flat-screen television that soars over a cozy fireplace. In addition to numerous outdoor living spaces with lavish furnishings, the home features three masters and an oversized walk-in closet. You'll be happy to know that the home features a games room, bar and beautifully popped-it plants perfect for entertaining. Alright, so I think I'll bring this house tour to an end here. We got to take a quick look at Chris Saka's home and all the sick pads he owns, some of them for no reason at all.  After seeing those fancy houses he snagged, what did you guys think? Was it everything you would expect out of Saka? Personally, I was a huge fan of those side-by-side homes in Manhattan Beach, literally steps away from the ocean. I'd move my mom into the next one. I get free cooking all the time. Think about it, think about it. I have Saka's features, which ones were your fave? Write them down in the comments down below. Hit me up on Instagram at DadDubitFly so we can chat some more. And let us know whose house tour to do next in the comments section below. See you guys next time. Bye!


What is going on, everybody? Welcome to Market Talks. I am your host, Tim Warren, and I'm so glad to have you guys here on Coin Telegraph's YouTube channel. And this is Market Talks, a show where once a week we meet on Thursdays to break down everything you guys need to know about the crypto market so you can be investing wisely. And we always have phenomenal guests that join us. I'm joined today by Dan McDermott. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe you haven't, but in case you haven't, Dan is a partner and a senior analyst at chartguys.com. He provides invaluable knowledge and feedback towards the development of technical analysis education. Dan is responsible for providing in-depth video reports and technical analysis to people wanting to learn how to protect capital and become more profitable. Let's roll this clip. What's going on, man? I'm hearing some feedback in my monitor. I don't know why. That's very confusing to me, but I'll have to figure that out. How are you doing today, man? I'm good, thanks for having me. You got the dude on, that's rare, that's a collectible. Yeah, yeah. Well, hey, man, I want to go and just jump in. We got like probably 30 to 40 minutes here to discuss Ethereum and Bitcoin charts. And you, you know, I love me some technical analysis, but you are definitely one of the best out there. And I want to get your opinion on what's happening now. And let's start with Ethereum. Let's just go ahead and jump over to charts. And I want to see what you're seeing happen on Ethereum right now because even though we had over an 130% rally within the last couple of months, the market's cooling down as we get closer to that E2.0 merge. My question for you is, will that merge bring an increase to prices or will we see a sell the news type of action happening? Sure thing. So let's pull up the chart here. But for me, the major factor that I'm watching for Ethereum to determine is this merger going to be bullish or bearish because I personally am not heavy into the fundamentals. I obviously put all my time into charts and trading and technical analysis. So I know that I can find many sources. If I'm trying to do research to say it's going to be bullish or it's going to be bearish. So for me, I stick to the charts because the charts, there's no opinion there. It's giving me just hard praise data, which is what I care about. And so we can see that recently, you know, Ethereum has been consolidating a weekly timeframe and we know the broader stock market is having a major impact. The dollar strength is having a major impact in the cryptocurrency space. But what we can say is that the way that Ethereum is currently positioned, we are much better positioned than Bitcoin. Bitcoin has retraced much more of the bounce. And if you ask me, you know, right now I'm looking for a weekly higher low to form anything above 8.79, which was our fear bottom. And the probability that Ethereum is going to form a weekly higher low for me is much higher than the probability that Bitcoin is going to form a weekly higher low. So the chart that I've been using is ETHBTC. And that just shows us relative strength or weakness. It shows us who's stronger, Bitcoin or Ethereum. And if this chart is going up, it shows us that Ethereum is stronger. And right now this is a classic bull flag that is trying to form here. And the retracement has been extremely healthy. This consolidation, you can see we had the bull volume was high on the move up, very low bear volume on the pullback. And so for me, if this chart continues as it has in terms of showing strength and breaks to that high or high, we're going to be testing very quickly the highest relative strength that we've seen comparative to Bitcoin in the last four years. So you can't say that it is bearish as long as this chart is bullish. So I am bullish Ethereum, comparative to Bitcoin until proven otherwise. And the burden is on bears to prove it at this point. Very interesting. I got a question for you on that chart. ETH over Bitcoin. I don't know if you use this a lot. It's one of the ones I love. There's one of the tools I love using on the charts. But if you went to the daily chart, you know, and go back to the dates about the 19th of July, give or take, and then of course, the peak that we have on that ETH over Bitcoin chart around the 13th of August, and you're looking at the RSI, that looks like bearish RSI divergence. Do you think that has been canceled out of this point? I know you referenced a bull flag right there that would take us well to the upside. What do you think is happening right now? Do you think that RSI divergence was canceled or do you think it still has an effect on the price? RSI divergence is one of the smaller pieces of the puzzle for me, you know, with technical analysis, you've got so many things that you can be looking at and it can be analysis paralysis if you're looking at too many things. And so for me, the number one thing is price action and trends. So are we forming higher lows and higher highs? That's the most important. And then there's things that are secondary and for me, RSI divergence is pretty low on the list. So it's worth keeping an eye on. It's worth making note of that. And here's what you're talking about here with the RSI higher and it's currently lower but the levels are much higher. So that is showing that divergence. But again, for me, if the simple statement is if this low holds, then Ethereum is bullish. That's as simple as I'm gonna break it down. I love very simple concrete statements where I can say if this, then this. And then that's it. It's because there's no overanalyzing. There's no letting my bias come into play. So my simple statement is if this low of August 28th and 29th holds, then Ethereum is the better place to have your capital as a bull comparative to Bitcoin. Yeah, and I love that you said that right there. We're gonna touch on that a little later on in the show. The having that analysis always of the if then statements that a concept of taking a motion out of the trading every single step of the way. But we're about two weeks away. Two weeks. So when we're looking at these charts from that ETH 2.0 merge, I know you said that you're not necessarily the guy that follows all of those fundamentals, but what are you seeing in the charts? If you as a trader and investor are looking at those charts alone, what do you see happening over those next two weeks and potentially what could happen a little bit after that? Well, in terms of things aligning for timing, as I mentioned, the broader stock market is having such a significant impact with the correlation. And we break from that correlation. It's always shifting, but it's still ever present. And so what we need to see the ideal scenario for the stars to align for the bulls heading into the merge would be if the broader market, and I'm looking at the S&P 500 right now, they're low. All we need to do is just find a bottom because we're in pre-fall ever since Powell spoke last Friday at Jackson Hole and talked about, we're gonna keep the pressure on here and we gotta knock down this inflation. The market has done nothing but go down very significantly with just not even a glimpse of bulls doing anything over the last five trading days. So we have to find a bottom. If we can find a bottom and set this weekly higher low, we don't have to rock it up and head to higher highs, just stop the fear. If we can stop that fear drop and get even just a little weak bounce going, I think that a name like Ethereum that is positioned well will very quickly set its own weekly higher low. And again, that retracement is much healthier than bitcoins, but set that weekly higher low, ideally here at 1420, and then head on back towards that recent high because we know that if this bounce, which was a great bounce, 100% plus, but we've gotta change the weekly trend if it's gonna have follow through. And so it's all about establishing that weekly higher low and we need the broader market to find a bottom. Yeah, no, and that's a good kind of segue into the next question about maybe that sentiment as a whole, what are you looking at when you're seeing sentiment in the space right now? When it comes to, you know, we were in a almost like a secondary bull trend here for a while, but now that we've set a lower high, we're setting lower lows, what do you think it will take? You know, I know tomorrow, for example, is unemployment numbers given once again. And I think those numbers would have had more significance in the past and they will tomorrow. It does sound like Jerome Powell, as you referenced, and the rest of the Fed have actually kind of leaned into saying maybe those numbers won't affect them as much as they used to, unless those numbers just absolutely skyrocket, which I don't think we're gonna see. What do you think it will take to stop this current secondary bear trend that crypto as a whole, but including Ethereum and Bitcoin are in right now? Well, I mean, obviously it's always nice when we have that clear fundamental event like Powell that just clearly sets off a direction and a trend, but it's not necessarily always required in my opinion. You know, we can just reach exhaustion in one direction. We can reach a point where anybody that was gonna short based on what Powell said almost a week ago has already done so. Anybody that was gonna sell their longs has already done so. And so you reach a point where, okay, the only thing left to do is short to do some covering or some bulls to buy some dip. So I'm not necessarily, we've got the next FOMC is I think three weeks from this past Wednesday. So just under the three weeks away, that's gonna be something that the market is certainly gonna be looking towards, but three weeks is a ways away. So I think it's going to just be based off of, again, just that the, it's always for me scales tilting supply and demand. So supply of coins and of shares, it's outweighing demand right now as we're dropping the last five days. And so we're gonna be looking for that to start to, to find a little bit of a balance and then maybe switch a little bit. And the bounce that we just saw over the last two months that was, you know, it was just a, I called it a bear frustration bounce because it just kept grinding higher and the bears were talking about the fundamentals and why are we going up? And it was just that balance where we just tilted the scales and demand exceeded supply and shorts were continued to force to cover. So I'm just watching for essentially a temporary short-term fear climax to mark a little bit of a bottom, try and set that weekly higher low. And then I wouldn't be surprised to trade within a tightening range into the FOMC which is the third week in September. Right. And then I think you're absolutely, absolutely right. You know, there's a lot of things to watch there. When you're talking about those fundamentals, especially that supply and demand, it will be interesting to see what happens on September 15th. When Ethereum 2, unless some bug comes in and ruins, it should be launching, Ethereum 2 that people have been waiting for for over four years now will happen. And what's interesting on that fundamental side, more often than not, when we're looking at these charts and we're looking at the price action, a lot of times we're measuring is the demand going up or down, but rarely do we get to see cases where the supply gets to go up and down. And we talked about this on my channel, Coffee and Crypto here a couple of days ago that when that launches, if it goes successfully, the rewards for all of the stakers will drop from 13,000 Ethereum per day all the way down to 1,600, which is a 90% dip. And just put that into perspective for all of the viewers out there and I want to get your take on this. You know, Bitcoin always goes up. Everyone talks about the having event where Bitcoin supply that gets produced daily gets cut in half. We always talk about the explosive nature of the price when that happens. This is a situation where we're looking at Ethereum supply dropping by 90%. There's speculation that Ethereum could just go ahead and defy the rest of the crypto space and begin to climb even if the rest of the crypto space drops as demand drops. What are your initial thoughts about that? And do you see anything on the charts confirming or denying that theory? I personally would be shocked if it just completely did its own thing and completely broke away from correlation. In my opinion, how it would look if that were to happen, it would be a scenario where, you know, for every step forward that Bitcoin takes then Ethereum takes multiple steps forward and for every couple of steps back that Bitcoin takes, Ethereum only takes a little step back. So that's when you see a really bullish correlation and you're still impacted by the correlation that has been present for so long, but it's just, it's a lot more magnified on the bull side of things. And again, we've been seeing that for Ethereum to a certain degree over this entire bounce since the fear bottom a couple months ago. And so there is the potential that we just continue to see that and that continues to be magnified. And if that were to be the case, that ETHBTC chart that we just looked at, it would confirm its weekly bull flag, it would hit the highest levels that we've seen in the last four years and it would continue to show us, yes, Ethereum is the place to be for the bulls. So I don't think it'll completely break that correlation, but it can continue to strengthen the bullish correlation that we've had over the last couple months. Yeah, well, let's flip that correlation. We talked about Ethereum here to start the show out. What about Bitcoin? Because Bitcoin, even this morning as we're, you know, I was doing my morning show and then it started dropping, then it's still dropping as it stands right now. We're down to $19,700. This is part of what we're saying when we're talking about the sentiment going down. You know, we talked about Ethereum and how the Ethereum or Bitcoin chart seems to be giving momentum back to Ethereum. But what about Bitcoin? What do you see for the future price action of Bitcoin? Can we hold and stay above the $19,500 that we've set twice now within the last couple of days? Or will we be dropping down to $19,000 or lower here very soon? Well, we're on the verge of that break. The bull's backs are against the wall right now. And what we have to see is again, it's spy in the S&P 500. It has to put in a short-term bottom. Bitcoin has been trading well for the bulls over this entire week because we're going sideways while the broader market is dropping consistently every single day. So right now Bitcoin, the way I'm just viewing it is Bitcoin's trading sideways this week and saying, all right, come on, spy, like find that bottom. I'm ready to go. I'm holding my support. Just give me a little bit of bullish momentum to work off of here because the Bitcoin bulls are playing defense, but they're not doing anything to go on offense. And they won't, in my opinion, until short-term fear is alleviated and we get a daily bounce in the S&P 500. Even if it's just a 2% bounce after dropping 10%, that little shift can be enough for Bitcoin to then start to take out some resistance levels, which it certainly has struggled doing. Where it stands right now, it's a daily bear flag. There's no other way to put it. Bitcoin is a daily bear flag and the burden is on the bulls to prove to us that it is not. And again, right now in this moment, the backs are against the wall because we have that recent low that is in play. So I'm just watching the S&P 500 and watching this hourly downtrend that's been persistent and significant the entire week. And it's just a matter of time where if that continues, Bitcoin will fall through 19.5 and hit a fresh low here. And so it's just a waiting game. Can the bounce begin before Bitcoin loses that support? Yeah, well, let's go. I want to look at your charts and I want to hear what you have to say. What do you say about the people that are calling for a $15,000 price within between now and November and some even calling for a lower price? What are you seeing on the charts that would either confirm or deny that prediction? And personally for yourself, what do you think the bottom of Bitcoin will be or slash is it already in? No, the trend is your friend. We know that we've heard that many times. So looking at my chart here, I've got the monthly timeframe is a bear flag again. So like I'm not gonna, if I have to choose, I'm going to go with the side of the trend and it makes perfect sense that people are bearish for a lower low because again, this bounce is very unimpressive from what we've seen. The gains were nice in the short term, but considering how much we had dropped, the retracement size, and I use my Fibonacci retracements to help gauge whether something is a flag or not. And the retracement of that bounce was, not even close to negating a potential bear flag. So it's just another scenario where until the bulls prove to me that this is not a bear flag, it's a bear flag. And so we absolutely can break 17-5. One scenario that I would be watching for, someone asked me a few weeks ago, what do I think is the most likely scenario from here? And I wouldn't be surprised if we see a scenario where Bitcoin does break that recent low of 17-5, but doesn't get a whole lot of follow through on that bear break and then starts to try and change the daily trend and lack that follow through. And we have a scenario where the altcoins like Ethereum who have been holding on a lot better could still be holding their fear lows even if Bitcoin breaks those fear lows. So I would be watching for that to be a possible scenario as well. But really, again, it's, I've been watching since, you know, I started trading crypto very intensely in 2017 when that run started. And I've been watching ever since just the correlation with the S&P 500, I don't wanna continue to beat the dead horse here, but it has been growing, just it's strengthening and becoming more and more prevalent back when I first used to point it out, people would argue with me and say it wasn't a thing. And now it's generally accepted like this is here and it's here to stay, unless there's some kind of massive news event that can break that correlation. You break correlations with massive inflows of volume, whether it's full volume or bare volume. And so you need that fundamental catalyst for that massive volume to flow in. And so again, if the broader market can set a weekly higher low and not head back to our fear bottom, then Bitcoin's looking good in terms of holding its bottom. But I honestly, I put more weight into the S&P 500 chart than I do the Bitcoin and these individual crypto charts. I make note of who's stronger, who's weaker, how are we holding up relatively? But honestly, there's so much more dollar volume in play for the broader stock market that that's where we're wagon, whatever the saying is, the tail wagging the dog, Bitcoin is just doing what the stock market is doing to varying degrees. And right now, it's a weaker bounce overall. And I embarrass as long as the broader market is showing weakness and as long as Bitcoin is showing weakness to the broader market, which it has been over the last couple of months. You know, speaking of those correlations, because there's a lot of them. I love, you know, you talk about the S&P 500. You know, when I was researching and trying to learn more about the calls you've made, the stuff you're trying to teach everybody, you've compared Bitcoin to the NASDAQ as well. My other question, and one of the things that I compare Bitcoin to, but in an inverse fashion, is looking at the DXY, the Dixie, which by the way, today is climbing. It is the highest it has been ever since back in 2002 and very well could be making its move up to there. So earlier, we talked about that if then statement. What would you think would happen? Just look at these charts and comparing them as best you can. If we end up seeing the Dixie climb back up to 120 and match those levels back from 02, I believe that's right, I'll fact check myself. But if that happens, what will we see happen in the crypto space, the NASDAQ, the S&P 500? What will happen to all of these entities? Well, if you're a bear in any of those things, you want the dollar to continue to climb as it has been. And if we head up, you know, another 10% higher as you're talking about, then in my opinion, Bitcoin is well under 17.5 and the S&P 500 is hitting fresh fear lows and confirming a monthly lower high, which we just hit and then a monthly lower low, continuing that downtrend. So honestly, the dollar has been gaining importance for me over the last month, just in terms of how clearly inversely related to it, we have been seeing all these markets and we have to top out on this dollar if we're gonna have any kind of confidence return for bulls in terms of longer term time frames. And with how strong the dollar has been, if you wanna pull up this chart here, I've got the dollar up. And I was watching this one for a long time because this was Isle of Equilibrium, which is just tightening ranges that eventually break and bring you volatility. And this is the six month timeframe. So this was a tightening range for six years that broke bull. And so there's a lot of power behind that. And we have to keep in mind that, you know, on this move up that we're seeing over the last year plus, even when we do top out and there's some relief, we're just gonna form a monthly higher low at least initially. So we have to be aware of that as well. And essentially as long as we're in this runaway train scenario where we continue to climb, it's again, it's hard to have a bullish thesis in crypto in certainly the metals, gold and silver getting absolutely smashed in this dollar strength and in equities as well. So the dollar has to top out and see monthly consolidation in my opinion, if any of these bounces are going to see followed through on monthly time frames. And it's absolutely doable. It's just, that's where the Jerome Powell and the Fed news is kind of weighing very heavily on all of this as you kind of talked about earlier. But with their lack of clarity about what the future of those interest rate hikes look like, if anything we've seen evidence come out, say that they're gonna keep pushing us to potentially get all the way up to 4% by the end of this year after just one month after Jerome Powell originally said three and a half. So it's definitely a lot of uncertainty unknown. That's what we call flood fear and certainty and doubt in the space that is gonna keep that bearish pressure on top of Bitcoin, crypto and NASDAQ and S&P 500 as well. You know, I wanna transition just here a little bit and get away maybe from the charts and let's just talk trading because that is what you do, Dan, you're very good at it. But I think what you're extremely, extremely good and to a level where I think a lot of people want to be at, they just cannot get there is your ability to take your emotion completely out of the trade, that you don't just trade based off your gut, you don't just have this hope or this fear that makes you move, you wait to see actual facts play out. How do you do that?  So I started out like everybody else. You know, I started out with the emotional swings and with the lack of using stop losses and the sickening feeling in my stomach as it continues to drop way more than I ever thought it would. And so honestly, the biggest benefit that I had when I entered the crypto space in 2017 was I had already learned all those lessons trading penny stocks 2010 through 2013. So I did not repeat those mistakes, but essentially for those that want to get to a point, it's experience, you cannot replicate experience. You have to go through all those highs and lows. And you have to, you know, I learned as an educator, I can tell someone 100 times and look in them in the eye and say, you have to use a stop loss on every single trade. That's how professional traders do it. That's how you limit your risk. If you want to be in this game longterm, that's how you protect your capital. And still they will enter trades and their emotions will take over and they won't use a stop loss. And so I got frustrated, you know, teaching newer people to the point where I just had to accept like, I can only, I can say it so many times, but people have to feel it. You cannot replicate feeling that and you have to be the kind of individual that feels it enough to the point that says, I never want to feel that again. And I never want to be succumbed, I never want us to come to those emotions again. And it then becomes a drive and a motivating factor. And so you go through the highs and you go through the lows and I can remember early in my trading career, it was a big pivot where I was in a penny stock just looking for a two day swing. And you know, here's my, I'll exit if we hit here and this is my target. And then it was halted overnight. And I ended up with like a 90% plus loss on that position when my risk for my stop loss was only maybe 5%. And so that was, I lost maybe a third of my capital back when I had a small stack. And I can remember the next day, you know, how quickly I was able to get over it by just accepting, you got to detach from money and money is so highly valued in society and it's this emotional, it just triggers our emotions so significantly. You have to move to the point where you're confident and okay, if I lose this money, I'm confident that I'll be able to make it back whether that's through trading, whether that's through, you know, well, I'll just go back and get a job. That was an important factor for me psychologically to get beyond the stigma of money and to remove some of that fear.  That's, you know, my safety net where that alleviates some of that fear of taking a loss. So long story short, you cannot replicate experience. You will have to go through the highs of winning and the lows of losing and you have to ensure that you protect your capital enough that you come out the other side of those swings still with capital to play with because year two, three, four, you're gonna be way different than year one and you have to survive that year one and year two to get to that point where you can then apply the lessons that you've learned to improve yourself. Wow, that is a great answer. You know, another way that a lot of people utilize and there's usually like a kind of like an exodus or not an exodus, just an adding to how they invest. A lot of people when they're starting their investment journey and this is what's so great about crypto is you've seen quick returns on this is the DCA method whether just dollar cost averaging their finding points whether it be a consistent date or whether it's they set up levels and they're just like, hey, if we hit this level I'm just gonna buy in. What would you say for anyone who is a pretty good DCA who has been DCA'ing with success but wants to start dabbling in the trading game? What would you say? Is there a list? Is like a number of things that they need to be cognitive of or what does it take to go from a DCA mindset to a trading mindset that you would suggest if you cannot get here, if you cannot accomplish these things or get your mindset in these places trading just should not be for you. Yeah, I would say first off, keep your DCA position. I have a long-term no touch position which I call my antifomo. And this is really the first time I've been trading 12 years. This is the first time I've had a long-term no touch position thinking decades in my trading career. And so that helps me sometimes when I'm trading, if I'm thinking, okay, well, this is a big move up and I wanna lock in this profit and I sell and then it keeps going up. Then I say, okay, well, I still got my long-term no touch my net worth is still going up. And that helps me rationalize a bit to knock down those emotions. And I still feel those emotions. I feel the FOMO, it's just the difference is I don't act on it. I recognize it, I observe it in my own persona and don't act on those emotions. But I would say for someone who is wanting to switch from DCA to learning how to trade, start really small. And you know, you can paper trade but really you gotta have some skin in the game to feel those emotions, to have those emotions get triggered when you are losing money or making money. But it's, again, you're going to, I say that if you can go break even in your first year of trying to be a trader that's a huge win. You just got an entire year of free experience. So trade small, preserve that capital and learn those lessons.  So you have to remember it's a game of decades. We're not trying to become rich in a year or two. It's nice the crypto sometimes gives those opportunities. But if we're looking to do this game long-term we're talking 10, 20, 40 years then we have to be very patient with ourselves and say, okay, well, I can start small and be trading with an insignificant amount of money. And if I can prove to myself that, you know, I can control my emotions, I can be disciplined that I am getting these concepts then a year or two later I can increase my capital. And then a couple of years later maybe I can increase my capital again. And so that's the name of the game in terms of number one, again, staying in the game. That is the most important factor. Do not blow up your accounts.  And we want to prevent that at all costs because the goal for the first two years of learning how to trade is just survive. Don't think about I wanna make 50% in my first two years survive so that over the next decade you can then utilize the skills that you just learned in those two years to then do some really significant increasing of your position sizing and net worth. What would you say to somebody who's new to trading who says, Dan, I really wanna try leverage trading and then taking short positions. Do you think that's wise for me? What would you say to that person? I have never, I mean, I've taken some leverage stock positions but I've never taken a leverage crypto position in my life and the percentage gains that were possible without doing that, you don't need to.   As an educator, I've seen thousands and thousands of traders come through. And I've seen really good ones, good ones that get all the concepts, they understand technical analysis, they got it down, but they don't have the emotional control down, they blew up their account and took themselves out of the game. And I think, man, if that didn't happen, what could that path have forward have looked like for the next decade if that individual did not blow up that account? If they stayed in the game and if they were a little bit more patient and if they, I know so many traders that 2017, 2018 crypto and the top and that bear market, they learned all their lessons and they went through the pain and they gave back all their gains and they stayed in the game. And so this most recent bull run, they were able to smash it and make up for it 10 fold. So staying in the game is the most important aspect of being a trader. Yeah, that's such good information right there, Dan. I'm gonna look, I'm trying to find some questions here in chat. So if while I'm looking here, if you guys in chat that are watching this stream, by the way, there's 58 of you guys, almost 60 and only 32 likes, smash that like button if you guys have loved this show so far. I know I saw a question earlier. So give me just a second, Dan, and I'm gonna get it for you. Let's see here. I know a lot of you, this might be one of my favorite interviews according to Neil, pure TA in psychology. I love, you know, we all love TA here. Step two, talking about the chart that you love to look at Bitcoin USD over the NASDAQ 100 USD. You love seeing the correlation. What timeline, this is from Queen. What timeline are you thinking until we hit bedrock? And I know we kind of touched on that a little bit, but if you have an answer for that or if you have an if then statement for that, what would you say to Queen on that question? So we are currently in a market environment due to the macro aspects, due to the dollar strength and Powell and the Fed and all that that I have never traded in. So I've been trading for 12 years and I mean, really seriously the last eight years in terms of every day, full on grind. But I've never seen anything like this in terms of this macro environment. So for me, that means take a big step back.  But honestly, as a trader, that's not how I trade and not how I approach this game.  I have absolutely no idea. I take it one day at a time and I get new information every single day. I'm getting new information. So to try and predict things without all that additional information that's going to be coming over the next weeks and months for me is just doing a disservice. And I know it's nice and people like that and it's exciting to think about the future but I'm so in the present moment as a trader and I try and live my life the same way in the present moment where it's just, I follow the trend as where it stands. I keep an eye out on the psychology, the sentiment, any kinds of news catalyst but in the end it all boils down to that price trend and I'm gonna be bearish as long as we're in monthly, weekly, daily downtrends and then once we start to change trends and once the macro environment starts to shift then I'm going to shift with it. And an example that I keep giving is before this most recent run back to all-time highs we bottomed in Bitcoin in the 3000s. We bounced, when the COVID dump happened I went into turtle mode where I just protected my capital and I've never seen anything like this and I'm preserving my capital and being extremely cautious. And so I missed the move from 3000 to 12,000 because I was just hands off and extremely patient but I then saw patterns that I am very familiar with as a trader really aggressive from 12,000 and then enjoyed the whole ride up from 12,000 to 50s, 60s. And so the lesson there is I was 300% off the bottom and still made very significant gains after that. So we don't need to be picking bottoms and tops and as traders, you're not going to be nailing bottoms and tops. And that's another thing that newer traders will it's a fallacy where they'll think like, oh, well, if I just held a little longer I could have gotten an extra 2% and I made that mistake. We're not nailing tops and bottoms. It's nice when you do, it happens from time to time but we want the meat in the middle of these moves. And so that's a perfect example of and I didn't sell the top either. I was selling in the 50s before we got to the 65 plus range. So I missed the bottom and I missed the top but that meat was very worthwhile. That is so good, Dan. That's something I say to coffee and crypto viewers all of the time. You got to stop thinking you're going to buy the exact bottom and you're going to sell the exact top. What you need to look for is good bottoms and good tops and that does not mean perfect. So I couldn't have said any better than how you just said it right there, Dan. Last question I have here for you before we wrap out this stream and this is a really good one. Weak Hoot said, you both are amazing educators. Thank you. Aside from resources you each provide, are there any books or other resources you found extremely helpful in your trading career? Dan, I'm going to go ahead and, you know, I actually haven't read that many trading books. So are there any books that you recommend for traders that you use to grow your knowledge? I've never read a trading book in my life. So, but there are ones that people keep suggesting. They keep, it's just not my style of learning. You know, I've been on YouTube. I've been scouring the internet and Google and articles and interacting with people in forums. That's my style of learning. But people love trading in the zone by Mark Douglas, I believe it is. That's one that's always popular. I, on my YouTube channel, I've got a psychology video where I go over books that I read in my college years and after college that helped shaped me as a person. And looking back on them, I can say, wow, these really benefited me as a trader. At the time of reading them, trading was the farthest thing from my mind, but it's interesting to look back on those. So a bunch of psychology books, you know, Be Here Now, The Power of Now, just as I mentioned, I'm in this now and I'm thinking about the future in the past a lot less those books helped me develop that mindset. So I think psychology, you know, technical analysis is, if you put in the time, it's easy to understand. The psychology is what takes a lot of time. And so I think it's an under appreciated aspect of trading and it's more so over the last decade, you know, there's more and more resources being put out about it. But you can have, as I mentioned, you can have technical analysis down and if you don't have the psychology down, you can still blow up your account. So as important as learning the technical analysis is, don't forget about the psychological aspect.   Like there's so many intertwined aspects of this. And so it's really so much more bigger picture than just.
