Hey everyone welcome back to the Nintendo Prime. I'm having a bit of a problem. I got a bunch of these new panels that were still put up on the wall kind of spread it out help with the sound. A bunch of the panels though are not inflating properly. If anyone has any tips for how to get them because they came vacuum sealed. Anyone has any tips how to make them kind of puff up like this one did. Please let me know. I know like one of the major tips was obviously putting water on them and we did spray some water on a bunch of them but even doing that it didn't work and then I actually took some of them and soaked them in water and then let them sit you know and dry out and they still didn't puff all the way up. So is there like some magic trick to make these things puff up? I don't know. Obviously all the ones we've had before we've had for years so they've had a lot of time to puff out. I really want to get using these. We've had them for a week and they're still not up on the wall. So whatever folks welcome back to Nintendo Prime. We have so many new stories to get to today. I think like six big ones. Some of them are going to be some stories we missed out on last week. Some are going to be brand new stuff that happened today. I can't wait to get to it before we do.

All you have to do is head to that Glean.io link down in the pinned comment or the description and the only real requirement is that you are subscribed but yeah you have to be subscribed to win. All right let's get to our first story. This one's this is a fun one. This one deals with Hogwarts Legacy Edition. So there was a big showcase for it last Thursday. Looks absolutely incredible. I know some people obviously have some outside concerns about certain political aspects and all the stuff dealing with J.K. Raleigh. We're not here to really cover that. I'm focused on the game itself. I am a potter head. I do enjoy Harry Potter stuff. I enjoyed the book series. I enjoyed the movies. I enjoyed various games over the years and this is looking to be the grandest game of them all potentially. So why are we talking about it here at Nintendo Prime? Well because they listed on the official website that it is coming to Nintendo Switch. Now it's also coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. Obviously giving it a higher chance to come to Nintendo Switch but besides it coming to Nintendo Switch what we really want to know is is it a cloud version or is it physical because a physical version of the game is up for pre-order at Best Buy and at Amazon. In fact I will have affiliate links down in the description if you guys want to go ahead and pre-order it hoping that this physical edition is actually real. Now some people on the team have already come out to speak about this in an interview and all they would say is all we can confirm is it's coming to Nintendo Switch. They tried to like literally go hey is this cloud? Is this you know a localized version? They won't commit to it. The fact they're not committing to it tells me it's probably cloud if I had to guess but hey maybe I'm wrong it is on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that does give it a really good chance to get a native port so let's just cross our fingers and hope this becomes another major third-party game coming to Switch this year natively. That's always the hope is native so we'll see what happens but yeah that's kind of a big story that happened at the end of last week. Another big story that happened at the end of last week was that the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC dropped and when it dropped so did a data mine of a bunch of upcoming tracks for that DLC. Let's go over what these tracks are according to the data mine and they are Sydney Sprint from Mario Kart Tour, New York Minute from Mario Kart Tour, Singapore Speedway from Mario Kart Tour, Sydney Sprint from Mario Kart Tour, Mario Circuit from the Super Nintendo, Sunset Wilds from the Super Nintendo, DK Summit from the Wii, Maple Tree Way from the Wii, Waluigi Stadium from the Gamecube, Rainbow Road from the 3DS, Mary Mountain from Mario Kart Tour, Vancouver Velocity from Mario Kart Tour, Sunset Wilds from the Game Boy Advance and Vanilla Lakes from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Now obviously a lot of these tracks are from Mario Kart Tour and some people are actually more excited about the tour tracks than the others because they do represent tracks that many people haven't played since they're from a mobile game that a lot of Mario Kart 8 fans have refused to play so yeah that is somewhat exciting that those feel like brand new tracks in comparisons to the others but really you could say that about any of these games if you didn't play Mario Kart on Gamecube or Game Boy Advance or on the SNES like a lot of these tracks might feel brand new to you so this is really cool that we have this leak out there so we at least know I don't know what the next couple of cups are likely going to contain again this isn't all 48 tracks so it's not like all 48 tracks or I guess the 40 that I haven't released yet are leaked here this is just what was in this update probably indicating what the next couple waves of DLC some of the tracks are going to be included so that's obviously really good personally I like the DLC I will note however that maybe this is just because certain things don't age well I don't know of the eight new tracks that we have added I think six of them are extremely easy tracks if that makes sense like especially compared to what they did with the other Mario Kart tracks I just find them to be very very simple obviously Ninja Hideway is fantastic but yeah I think most of the rest are just really basic and really easy but people are going to love that coconut ball and Ninja Hideway basically the two that I really love the most everything else is just kind of very little obstacles very little much to do about much of anything to be honest they're very straightforward tracks so I don't know some people really like that I kind of like the more challenging aspects but hey you know what whatever makes me look absolutely really really good when I play these tracks because three starring 200 cc these are the easiest cups I've ever had doing that so oh well whatever thank you guys so much for that one let's get into our next story so triangle strategy is a game I am playing through right now I wanted to finish it before Kirby I'm not quite sure if I will probably plow through Kirby then get back to triangle strategy but what's interesting here is obviously considering the sales data for an SRPG a strategy RPG because strategy RPGs tend to not sell extremely well and well we have some good news here so there were 800,000 announced in worldwide sales but worldwide sales notably did not include sales in Japan and according to Femitsu it has sold over 200,000 copies in Japan when you combine that that means this game triangle strategy has sold 1 million copies plus obviously it's sold more than 1 million that's really really exciting that got there faster than most other games in this you know space this little niche of strategy RPGs so that's really good news for triangle strategy whether or not it's going to hit two or three million I have no idea but this is good news to get more games like this obviously I know a lot of us are still waiting for that true autopath traveler sequel that we were supposed to get and they seem to be focusing more on autopath traveler mobile I'm sure the mobile game by the way plays really well and it's doing fine but it's obviously a little bit disappointing to continue to get all these mobile announcements for autopath traveler but never that true sequel we're supposed to get on consoles but hey you know what there's still time and maybe that's going to come to Nintendo's next system I guess uh time will tell with that so right now there is a big e-shop sale going on over 1500 games on sale which there's always a bunch of games but I find most notable is some of the games that are here uh and I'll just note a handful of them here we got grant of auto trilogy down at 39.99 right now life is strange true colors deluxe edition that's a $70 version down at $52.48 dragon ball z kakarok plus a new powers awaken set ultimate edition is $50.99 they do have a deluxe version or the non deluxe version that's $29.99 and these were originally $85.60 so pretty big discounts there monster hunter stories too and monster hunter rise ultimate edition are both down to $46.19 so it's really good for people looking to get into monster hunter we got the new monster hunter rise dlc dropping this summer so this might be a great chance to get in guardians of the galaxy cloud edition has been 50% off down to $29.99 whether or not that's still worth you trying it out i don't know but hey that's a lot closer to what i feel like cloud versions of games should cost final fantasy 12 is down to $24.99 as are a bunch of other final fantasy games and the list goes on and on and on in fact you know what let's roll this tape a little bit and let myself just kind of scroll through with some music so obviously that's just you know a handful you know dozen a few dozen uh examples on the e-shop right now just the sales are incredible at the moment uh and this is just worth checking out because these are digital only sales these are not being applied to physical copies of games so that's one advantage of digital and physical is i guess we got multiple ways that sales can happen and right now we're having a digital focused sales so uh it's worth checking out for anyone looking to save a few bucks and uh let's move on to our next story so today a brand new witcher game was announced you guys all remember the witcher franchise specifically for us in nintendo fans the witcher three that was ported to switch well a brand new witcher game was announced today it's supposedly going to be a new saga so kind of forget geralt this is going to be its own thing its own series of games and the big news announced with this announcement today is that they are abandoning their old red engine and moving into unreal engine five they did know that this partnership with epic is just for the engine it has nothing to do with epic game store so there won't be like an exclusive pc release of epic game store and this game is going to be a ways away probably three four five years away some people obviously betting eight years you know based on cyberpunk but yeah i think i don't think it's going to quite be that long but i guess we'll wait and see uh i don't know how much of the original team from the witcher is still at the studio uh and we obviously don't know if this saga is going to be any good but i do think it has a chance to come to a future nintendo platform by then nintendo should have their next generation nintendo device out that should be comparable enough to play station five in xbox series x obviously probably significantly less powerful if it's still handheld but comparable enough to get a port over like we did with the witcher three so i do think that is something to consider obviously the witcher three did really really well on switch so i could see them wanting to put it on nintendo's platform if it's powerful enough to support it and we don't know yet because we don't actually know what this platform is we have an idea based on some weak specs and those specs sound like something that could run unreal engine five games but we'll just have to wait and see our last story is one that's a little weird this is strange in many ways this is well this is actually correcting history so for the longest amount of time we always thought that Shigeru Miyamoto should be getting all the credit for a quote that goes along the lines of rushed games are forever bad delayed games are forever good which we all know today that that quote isn't necessarily true sometimes rushed games are really really good sometimes delayed games you know i don't know like cyberpunt 2077 and it's a whole bunch of delays doesn't necessarily mean the game is going to be great either but this is a quote largely attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto during the development time of ocarina of time when it went through all of its delays in the 90s but somebody dared a hundred dollars on the line dared someone to actually prove that Miyamoto is the originating source of this quote they said hey find me proof one way or another that Shigeru Miyamoto said this or if he didn't who said it and well someone went ahead and provided that proof and it turns out that no Shigeru Miyamoto is probably not where this quote came from and Shigeru Miyamoto has never actually stated that quote publicly doesn't mean he didn't use it behind the scenes but was never used publicly in an interview setting or to any known fan who's reported on this so it was it was put out there that i believe that this is a misattributed quote this is what i believe the source is a quote from Jason Schreiber a gt interactive in game fan june of 1998 page 63 i'll describe why i think this is the case and he goes on here and here's here's what it says in that magazine we were given a look at some of the most stunning 3d worlds ever created and a chance to see the highly touted level editor in action when asked about whether or not gamers or the gaming press would read too much in the fact that unreal was late not just late but really late as the game was expected out early last year Jason Schreiber senior producer with gt interactive had some profound words a good game is only late until it ships a bad game is forever bad we wanted to take our time with this game we know we have something special and we didn't want to rush things which you might note all the elements of the quote that we attribute to Shigeru Miyamoto are there just in a different order and done a set a little bit differently later on an unknown person quoted this exact phrasing in a november issue of use net in reference to ocarina of time and from that point forward the quote was consistently attributed to nintendo even though it doesn't appear that anyone from nintendo actually said this now notably Shigeru Miyamoto you will find articles over the years taking credit for this quote so this quote that's been attributed to him he doesn't deny it he seems to take credit for it but has never actually stated the quote publicly he's never had it uttered out of his mouth so it does look like jason schreiber might have been where the quote originated from and then maybe it got more widely adapted by other developers so the way that it works here since 1998 is that yeah Miyamoto might have heard that interview or heard that quote or heard that phrase ology used somewhere and decided to adapt it into the internal teams like retro studios and nintendo of japan and kind of go from there is one of those situations where he might have actually used this um ideology in the development of games at nintendo but he didn't actually say it publicly and because he never said it publicly it's attribution it's like should be attributed properly to jason schreiber rather than shigeru Miyamoto even if it is a phrase now that might be commonly used throughout the industry and shigeru Miyamoto does try to take credit for it he never actually said it publicly he only used it behind the scenes so yeah this is something that uh it's kind of weird it's kind of a weird part of gaming history to correct but it's always important that one of the most famous video game you know developer quotes of all time is actually giving credit to the right person jason schreiber seems to be where this originated from shigeru Miyamoto maybe you know latching on to that quote later down the line so um again this is not me trying to discredit Miyamoto and his work or trying to say that he ever lied to you guys by taking credit uh if you direct english to japanese english translations aren't perfect and on top of that just because he says they use that development philosophy yeah nintendo very well could use that development philosophy but it doesn't mean that they originated that philosophy so anyways folks i ended the end of rebel jads from the terrapra thank you so much for tuning in let me know what you think about all of today's news a long one today lots of big stories hopefully you guys enjoy it we'll be back live streaming tonight having a great time i'll see you guys then otherwise i'll see you in the next video tomorrow this has been a lot of fun sorry this video came out a bit later in the day than i planned but you know what my children have off this week it's their spring break so doing it as best as i can peace out everybody


We got a heavy load today. I hope I can I hope I can handle it So I've got to bring this up to Gimli. That is my assignment for today and bring one back I'm assuming they must have received the wrong one. Maybe I Don't know what happened. I'm doing an exchange and that's my morning assignment. So good thing I've got the straps to hold this heavy load down Nice. Hope I'm not gonna be overweight Something must have happened They wouldn't usually just send me up With one unit like this for no reason something Or maybe they would I don't know I just do what I'm told for way too long for this, but that's why we rolled them up like this We want to know what you do with this excess strap. I'll have to put you up here for that. Okay for the excess strap You just roll it up like this Take this tuck it in behind there See and then when you tighten it it pins it down in there and it'll hold it right there So it's not flapping in the wind. So you don't want that. It's a Good way to get pulled over real quick having your flaps flailing behind you into traffic You're gonna roll tied down here.  You can't reef on them You can't tie them down real tight or you'll break the the actual case and possibly damage the unit inside So you do it as tight as you can without damaging it and you'll see a lot of people put these twists in their straps like this You might be wondering why did they do that?  So this is my new one Delivered the other one. This one's a little bit higher and bigger same idea with tying it down though and Apparently, it's a dealer trade So this dealer has something another dealer wants and that same dealer has something that this dealer wants So we're doing a little switcheroo for them keeping it simple today. I guess I Kept my straps on the trailer So that it was really easy now To tie it down. I don't gotta throw them over again But I should never say something is simple because I'll find a way to make it complicated Natural I'm just told to bring this back to our yard So it could be that the other dealers coming to our yard to pick it up himself Or maybe this will be thrown on a smaller truck and brought to a different day I don't know which what the other dealer is so Like I said, I have no idea what's going on. I just do what I'm told Like I said before you don't want to go too tight on these crates because they'll break You want to look tight enough that they're not gonna that it's not gonna fall off They also sell all these campers here and travel trailers They don't have any fifth wheels in stock The reason I mentioned that is that We have our camper at our land, right? But I made a mistake when I bought that first of all I bought a Rockwood, which is very expensive It's a very expensive brand and you don't really get much more for your dollar And with say a sportsman or a Coleman over here. There's not that much of a difference But there's a huge price difference. So that was my first mistake But it's a nice camper. I really like it. However, it's a little small. I made another mistake and I didn't think that the Didn't really see what the future had in store for me when I Purchased it and I should have gone with something a little bigger. I could have gotten something a lot bigger like this For less money and Had more space because we want to be able to make use of our land and Enjoy your time there in summer, right? But we need to have a space that's big enough for us our dogs our friends to come down there hang out with us so I'm not seriously considering it right now, but it's sort of Sort of on my mind a little bit. Maybe we want to trade it in for something bigger. I Would personally like to see us in a fifth wheel I really like my parents fifth wheel a lot of space a lot of headroom I like it that the master bed is up on top of the hitch Lot of open space in the back slides on both sides, so it opens it up So I don't really want another travel trailer. I want a fifth wheel and not right away is either probably Maybe a year or two or a couple years in the future, but Thinking about maybe trading it in getting something a little bit bigger more comfortable Hopefully a fifth wheel. I'm looking for used fifth wheels. I don't know if I want to go brand new again, but Either way the Rockwood we have now is very good and it serves its purpose. It's just a little bit cramped But I mean if we can make our lives a little bit better and a little bit easier. Why not, right? So let's see what our options are. We're not too serious right now But just parked here beside him right now sort of made me think about it. Anyways so you'll see I did the The twist in the straps here. Let's see. I did that here as well. That'll prevent the straps from flapping It'll hold it right there So let's bring it back see what they got for us later today Well, if I say I'm thinking about doing something I mean just I'm thinking about doing Doesn't mean I'm gonna go and do it might not happen Britt and I have talked about it. We would like to see a bigger RV bigger fifth wheel in our position In the future sometime where our money goes Depreciates like I said before the first camper I bought I made a few mistakes in that purchase I don't regret buying it or buying a camper I just think I could have taken a few more variables and do it into account And gotten something that would suit where I'm at in life today a little better. I sort of bought it Right when I met Britt, I didn't know where our relationship was going yet And I should have assumed or I should have well, you never want to assume anything, but I should have just bought a little bit bigger, but I It was just me and diesel at the time and I thought that I was going to be traveling a lot more California VidCon and Laugher fair in Seattle all behind my half time the house. I didn't know where we're gonna be things change I don't regret First thing it but I I knew regret maybe not going a little bit bigger I mean, we'll see if we can upgrade we can upgrade if not no big deal Our main number one priority right now is building our house by getting a bigger campers If it was a used one and we can cut front and back and just sides that roll back Like curtains hence the name curtain side Two slow days in a row. I keep saying how busy we are The last two days are proving me wrong apparently. I guess it's just a fluke. I just had that one Switcheroo to do and Gimli there Brought a van trailer into Winnipeg came back to the yard and there's nothing left for me to do today So I'm being sent home. It's three o'clock Still makes an eight-hour day So I guess it is still technically a full day because I don't stop for a lunch. I work right through it So that's an eight-hour day for me But I'll gladly stay longer. They want me to I'm a little bit of a workaholic So I'm off the clock now already, but I'm just hanging around for a bit. Anyways Just in case they got work for me that pops up Don't want to go home yet. Well, I want to go home. Don't take that the wrong way I'd love to go home, but I would also love to keep working. There's lots of daylight left yet Can't stop working now Maybe something will pop up yet At least if I'm around here, then they can send me off for that but if not, I Mean I got lots of stuff to get done at home, too I mean as long as it's not every day starts turning into a short day Start this bad girl up my radio is gonna start screaming at me because I know I left her loud I always do that Shut the truck off. There it is. Okay My boss wants to Have a chat with me today yet Follow up on a few things we were talking about in the last couple of weeks So I'm gonna go into the office now. He said that he'd like to see me Either today tomorrow or Friday. So I've got time now. I haven't been able to get a hold of him Also, maybe he's not in the office anymore Let me go check the office before I go and slowly creep around the yard. Maybe just maybe.

Can I perform hot works in the fire danger period? I can't use welding, metal cutting, grinding, and other heat or spark producing tools. Unless a fire resistant shield is in place and hot cut-offs are placed in fireproof containers, the air air is clear of anything that can catch fire and I have a hose connected to water. On total fire ban days, I can't use any tools to create heat or sparks. You need to know a lot more than this to ensure you're within the law. Visit cfa.vic.gov.au slash can.


Dear participants, it's my great honor to welcome Mr. President Macron. Generally, we meet in Davos. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased that we are able to have this digital dialogue instead. I know, Mr. President, that in my opinion and in the opinion of many, you are one of those who has a long-term vision. And so, I would like to talk about questions relating to how we should be building the post-COVID world. Let me start with the first question. In your opinion, what would be your vision to rebuild a greener economy, a more resilient economy, more sustainable? So, what is your vision for the long term? Do we need a new vision? Hello, Professor Schwab. I'm very pleased to see you also through this Vizio conference. And thank you very much for organizing these virtual discussions that are so important in this period. I wanted to talk about today's world and its link to tomorrow as well, because in all of our countries, societies are transforming through the experience that we are going through. And I think we have to remember a few things from what we have been experiencing over the last year, and that is going to last many months yet, and probably many years yet, according to what some are saying. The first thing to say is that you cannot think economy without thinking about human beings. It might seem rather banal to say that, but in all of our countries, we've done something that was unthinkable before. We stopped all economic activities to save lives. That was the first lesson. And we remembered that the economy that you was talking about was a moral science, and therefore the lives of people was more important than figures and money. And also this period reminds us of our vulnerability. Personally speaking, I mean, I experienced this, I caught the virus. But also, as organization, companies, countries and vulnerability means that you cannot think your organization and your countries without taking this into account. Some were more aware of this than others, but it seemed a distant idea when we thought about ecology and climate, but it's the same notion really, what is happening around us has an impact on our daily lives, and it can change things deeply. Having said that, it means that we cannot build anything, I believe, in the post-COVID world without reaping the benefits and learning the lessons from what we have experienced. Our societies are vulnerable because nature is reminding us of this. We are vulnerable to pandemic, climatic events and so on. And so the economy of tomorrow, strengthened by these lessons, we talk a lot about new strains and variants, but there are some things that are not varying. The economy of tomorrow is going to have to be an economy that thinks about innovation and humanity, and it's going to have to build competitiveness together with the climate challenge, reducing CO2 emissions, adapting our societies, the biodiversity agenda. So it's an economy that will have to be more resilient, that will be better organized, and will have to be including these elements of resistance in the supply chains, and we can come back to this later. And also it will have to be an economy that takes into account this principle of humanity, whether it's on a social or health point of view. We talked about this last year, and I believe that we will not get out of this pandemic if, or rather we will get out of this pandemic only with an economy that is, that thinks more about fighting inequalities. This is basically what I could say briefly. I believe, Mr. President, that you said last year at the ILO meeting that capitalism had become mad. And in the context you describe of a moral economy, what is the role of company philosophy? I published a book today called Stakeholder Capitalism. What is your philosophy on this? What is your stake on this? I understand that your expression stakeholder capitalism. But if you look at the last decades, we had, capitalism and market economies have proven their successes. We cannot be too quick to throw the first stone here. I mean, we know that it's saved many millions of people, and it took many millions of people out of poverty. So it enabled citizens and consumers to have access to goods and services as it happened very few times in the past. Nevertheless, this all took place with the creation of inequalities in the different societies. So it meant that some people were taken out of poverty and it took people into the production cycle. But it took out some others from the production cycle. And many fellow citizens had to face different crises of relocation especially. And so there were social and economic shocks for hundreds and thousands of people throughout the world who had this feeling of losing their usefulness, who lost their jobs, and it was a deep moral and economic crisis. And this was externalized by capitalism of the last decades. The second topic is the disconnection between value connection and profits. There was a financialization of capitalism. It means that it went faster. It can be a good thing. But if you have the relevant allocation of savings to where funds are needed, but it's a bad thing when it over allocates funds when there's little risk and it basically leads to profits that are not linked to innovation or work even. And this is what happened. There was this kind of spiral that created more inequalities. And we saw bigger inequalities in this particular sector. And with the acceleration of social networks, it also globalized the imagination with people comparing each other on scales that were not known before. And so we created, we said basically there are two kings in this system, there's shareholders and consumers, and the system provided for both, but it adjusted on laborers and the rest of the planet. And we basically created negative externalities with the climate. And so these four phenomena fed the crisis of social inequalities, the crisis of democracies, and the sustainability of the democratic system and the climate crisis. And so the capitalist model together with this open economy can no longer work in this environment. Why? Well, because historically it was the fruit of a compromise, which was democratic societies, individual freedom, a progression for the middle class, which led to this progress of societies. And this consensus, this balance was broken by these four accelerations. And so I really believe in your point, which is a stakeholder capitalism, meaning that we need to put back at the heart of the model the response to these four questions. Over the last few years, we've tried to do so, states have tried to do so, but states alone cannot do that. If we try to do that, we'll have a problem because the state will be the only one who tries to correct external negativities. So it incurs a lot of debts to pay on its own for the remedy to climate change, remedy to inequities, inequalities. And so you have a model where you have an overwhelming public debt and taxpayers have to pay for that. And as we know, taxpayers are the sedentary actors, if you will, they cannot enjoy all the benefits of globalization. This is why I'm convinced that we will believe the future of humanity by keeping certain fundamental things private property, cooperation, individual and collective freedoms, which are the bedrock of our societies. So all of this must lead us to rethink our organizations to bring back to the heart of companies and undertakings the, you know, social, the fight against social inequalities, the inequality, the regional disparities, the climate consequences of our actions. So what we've called over the last few years, the economic, social and environmental responsibility as CSR, basically corporate social responsibility, these are innovations that we will need, we need to take one step further, we need to reform our companies from within so that all of the stakeholders, as in stakeholder capitalism, employees, employers, shareholders, they all need to, we all need to take into account the impact of the actions in terms of, you know, democratic impact, environmental impact and social impact. You've mentioned, Mr. President, that several things on today. I'm pleased to announce that we have announced the commitment on the part of private companies to report on a regular basis against specific and accurate criteria regarding their corporate social responsibility and environmental responsibility along the so-called ESG criteria. Regarding the environment, I'm given to understand that the new American administration, US administration has joined, again, the Paris Agreement. And a lot of progress has certainly been made, but I would like to ask you, are you satisfied with the progress made so far, or do you call for a new consensus that would go beyond what's been discussed and approved in the past? Well, I have several comments on this. First of all, we agreed on a climate agenda, the Paris Agenda. And at this point, we have not lived up to our commitments, all of us. So our top priority is to do our utmost to stay true to our commitments. And I'm saying all together because there cannot be any freeloaders. We need to move together so as not to create productivity biases. This is why, in the last few years, when the US decided to leave the Paris Agreement in the summer of 2017, there was a major risk. But I see that over the last few years since, the House of Card did not crumble at all. So we created the One Planet Summit and we held steady Europeans, a lot of emerging countries, China also, let us not forget, they cooperated very much so. And also with many federated states from the US, and now the Biden's administration's first move was to join the Paris Agreement again. So I call upon everyone, as we did in Europe, to revise upwards our objectives in terms of future emissions, minus 55%. Second of all, we committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. These are the two decisive milestones in the near future to shape our behavior. Now, we needed to apply this at the local, the regional level. We need to have a carbon pricing that is high enough. We need to have mechanisms that encourages and invites companies to go down that road. We need to have sanctioned mechanisms so that companies, households can go faster, stronger. We need to renovate our buildings, our cars, et cetera, et cetera. So this is the first pillar and it is essential. The second pillar is about bringing with us the finance industry and private companies, the private sector. And this circles back to what we're saying. I really believe in the initiative that we've set up with the One Planet Summit with sovereign wealth funds, asset managers and private equity players. So on December 12th of last year, we had a virtual meeting with all these partners and we've managed to bring under one same heading, if you will, one same project, the Climate Financial Disclosure Task Force, the so-called CFD task force. This is a really, this is a great step forward. And so we have a great methodology now. Investors have committed themselves to a measurement methodology, which is really what you were talking about, and which we are now applying at company level. And on December 12th last, we managed to have the companies of the CAC40 in France adopt this new methodology. So they will have to prove to the markets, to the capital markets, that they comply with these criteria. Third pillar, we need to do the same with biodiversity. I am convinced that we will only be able to state through our climate commitments if we can bring on board our, embark our companies, our people, our countries on a biodiversity agenda. This is what we meant to do with One Health, the One Health initiative. Because this brings together the fight against desertification, against climate change for biodiversity. And what we are currently, this is about the beginning, but what we are doing for climate, we need to do for biodiversity. This will entail changes in, in agriculture production in the very way that we consume and live. And so this year, we have to come up with common rules. So when you ask what more do we need to negotiate? So I believe that in the Cumen, during the Cumen summit, we need to be able to negotiate the equivalent of the Paris agreement, but for biodiversity. A few days ago in Paris, we had a virtual one planet summit for biodiversity. We took several major initiatives. The Great Green Wall was one of them. It straddles 11 countries of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa in order to fight desertification. Many initiatives also for biodiversity and we launched a new initiative for financial disclosure. And this is key. So these are the three pillars that I would like to put forward. Mr. President, if we take all these changes, does it mean that we will need to bring about a new era or a new mode of globalization, a new normal for globalization? Yes, it does. Everything that we're talking about is pointing into the same direction and to three elements in particular. First of all, we needed to build a new consensus. On November the 11th last, during the Paris peace summit, we tried to bring together heads of states, NGOs, intellectuals to try and NGOs to try and think about what we imodestly called the Paris consensus. It's the consensus of everywhere. It's not a matter, but the idea was to observe basically that we needed to move beyond the Washington consensus. We needed to move beyond deregulation and the end of state intervention. This is the discussion that we've been having since the beginning. We need to build a new consensus that integrates all this. Second of all, we need to find a new mode of cooperation between states basically to go back to an efficient brand of multilateral laterals. And this is what I've believed in for years. It was stymied by the previous US administration, which did not believe in it. I have a lot of hopes for this new year with our American partner, which I hope is about to re-engage with us. We need to build an efficient brand of multilateral lateralism for this new consensus. And thirdly, we need to build these new coalitions. Those that we tried to build in one planet summit, which was to meet those challenges, the new normal that you mentioned is, and here the interpreter has no signed apologies. We seem to have lost President Macron. So between states, NGOs and investors, we have recovered the signed, it seems. Mr. President, in all what you mentioned, there is also the fourth industrial revolution. How much will the digital system bring a new future? How would it make this vision of the future more possible? And it seems that we have lost President Macron. I'm sorry, I seem to have lost you for a minute. President. Then I can ask you, I know how interested you are in new technologies. And I was just asking you a question on the fourth industrial revolution. But in all its different concepts, you know, the digital is playing a major role. How do you see the impact of the digital ecosystem on everything that you mentioned before? I think there are several, actually. The first one is that we are seeing many revolutions at the moment when it comes to the digital. But there are several revolutions rolled into one. We are at the start of a technological revolution. We have the AI, artificial intelligence revolution as well, that is going to change productivity and is going to change the paradigm from industry to healthcare to space. And next to AI revolution, you'll have a quantum revolution as well. And through the computation powers, it's going to deeply change our industry by changing the industry of sensors, what you can do in the aeronautic industry, in the civilian industries and so on. And that means also our capacity to solve problems. The current pandemic, for instance, quantum intelligence will completely change the way we tack on pandemics in the future. So problems that would take weeks to solve will be solved in one day. Diagnosis will be able to be made in just a few moments thanks to AI and quantum intelligence. So we have a convergence between those different innovations. The digital on the one hand, which is what we call social networks and hyper connectivity and quantum technologies and AI. And the combination of all this means that we are going to have an acceleration of innovation, of deep breakthroughs in terms of innovation. And we'll see a capacity to commoditize some industries and to create value very quickly. So from what I've just said, what impact will it have? Firstly, we're going to continue to innovate and to accelerate. That's for sure. Secondly, they will be impact in terms of social adjustments and we have to think about them from now. So social inequalities will be even truer in tomorrow's world because we will see these impacts, we will have these adjustments that will be real and we have to consider them from today. Thirdly, it will have democratic impacts. So I believe that these will accelerate our problems on a social and democratic point of view. What we've seen in the US showed this on the democratic side in the last few weeks. And fourthly, on the resilience of our systems and the response to the climate crisis. I believe that we underestimated the advances in terms of innovation and I think these technologies will mean that we will be able to respond to the climate crisis a lot faster. So if we step back a little, I believe that our economies are going to have to invest in these innovations faster and we have to go for it. And if we work well and we cooperate, then these innovations will mean that we can create value and we can meet the economic challenges. And I really believe that it will mean that we can answer faster the climate challenge. And this is why I believe in the economy of the better and it's better to improve rather than to stop activities. But it will lead to some questions in terms of the democracies, the inequalities, social inequalities in our in our countries. Mr. President, this was a very comprehensive vision of our future. But the future is going to happen no matter what and we have to build it. And I'm very pleased that through your explanations, we see that some people and some leaders have a very clear vision of how to act and how to think about this future. And what this future should do, what it should look like and how it should be built for the good of humanity. So thank you very much, President. I'm very sorry that technology failed us somewhat between Paris and Geneva. But nevertheless, I believe that this was a great event and we were able to look into the future somewhat. Thank you very much, President. Thank you, Professor. Thank you very much, everyone. It's true that sometimes we are back to the grinding stones, the grinding stone, but I think it was very nice to be able to look forward a little bit and I fully share your last words. Let's not forget that the target is always to build the good life with all its advantages and with the will of respecting the other. And we have to serve this target. So thank you very much. I wish you a very good year 2021 and I hope to see you in person very soon. Thank you very much.


So I hope that answered some people's questions. And I don't think it answered everybody's questions because there's a lot of questions in the chat. So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna transition from the interview to the Q and A, and I'll answer everybody's questions to the best of my abilities, even though there may be some questions I would like to shy away from, but you can't. You can't shy away from tough questions, you gotta go from there. So let's just jump into the Q and A. I start a bunch of them, so let's just go with that. Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. First of all, Roy, 2021 crypto adopter here. Sorry, Roy, crappy year for you. You advised me to get off crypto exchange rate this year, not soon after Voyager collapsed, I've seen advice, thanks so much. That's why we do the rules, of course, right? But to get into Roy's thing is, let's be honest, I didn't warn everybody in time for Celsius. I did it the day of, it was in the morning and 11 o'clock and then by 9 p.m., the things were shut down. I thought, or Celsius was napping up and it was not. Everything works out until it isn't. Everything's cool until it's not. And that's just one of those things and I still got six figures stuck over there until it is. Voyager at least to give you two weeks, but I still have some crypto stuck over there and thank God in doing it with FDX. So here we are, so you gotta understand, take it with a grain of salt. I am not perfect, I get things wrong, I screw things up, ask my wife, she'll tell you. Okay, so trust me, bro. Yeah, and there has been some comments and unfortunately what it's negative and positive for this our market, which is, you know, the Alex's of the world and the Sandbake Manfrids of the world, they screwed it up for, they didn't screw it up for everybody. They screwed over a lot of people and it makes us trust less. Is that a bad thing these days? We have to trust less so we don't keep getting rug pulled like what we're having right now. So I know it's awful here. There's a lesson everywhere and I gotta tell you those things, of course my scripts too, this leads us to not trusting a lot of people. So that's just how it is. You've gotta earn it these days and if you can't earn it, then you're just gonna fall by the wayside. And I think the exchanges and the projects and the programs that make it through this are the ones that people are gonna look for and go, those guys made it after that crappy 2022 year when everything imploded and collapsed. What did they do differently? Oh, that's right. They were honest. They kept a breast situation. They didn't make sure that they commingled the funds and use them to buy their condos and their houses in the Bahamas which is what FTX apparently had done. They were honest with their customers and they were prudent in their spending and they grew slowly, but they were able to do it over time. Anyhow, Jeff Hughes says, slow and steady wins the race, trust no one. I gotta agree here. If you can't hold it besides real estate, you don't own it. And there was another question, I think it was from Nick, Nick Lucal or somebody. They go, Rob, how can you justify with I trust? Because you're always talking about, let me, hold on, I'm gonna hide you for a second, Nick. I'm always, I'm always, where am I? Oh, here we go. I'm always talking about these rules, right? And one of those rules is don't leave anything on exchanges. Is I trust not an exchange? It isn't an exchange. So how can I, how can I market with that and say 0%? Here's the thing. Everything, everybody has a risk tolerance. So for me, when I say exchanges, I'm trying to say, I'm trying to say it in the best way that I can say it possibly. Don't leave anything on exchanges per se. However, with I trust, it's a retirement account.  With, again, with I trust, when I'm talking about those things, no, you don't have control of your keys.  However, if things go sideways for whatever reason, even though Kevin just talked about, he said, look, he goes, we're not gonna do loans. We're not gonna commingle the funds. We make it very simple. Here's how we generate revenue for our company. It's by fees. It's by the trading fees. And there's a reason I think why, say a coin base and a Kraken and I mean, even a Binance is actually up and running and OKX so far is because they did a very simple thing, which is like, look, do you want this crypto? Okay, well, here's what we're gonna do.  It's the same thing with I trust. If for some reason, some, I don't know, something happens where coin-based custody, which has all of micro strategies, Bitcoin, correct me in the comments section. I think they have all of it, if not most of it, then micro strategy loses everything, all the different institutions that have all their crypto moves everything. Of course, I trust goes away because they have it on two places actually, fire blocks and coin-based custody. So when you say those type of things, no, you don't, but it's not gonna crush me if I lose that $1,900 something dollars right now in the retirement account. So all that makes sense. Then, where'd I go? Nick says, well, I find this a direct loss in a platform. Luton Celsius wrecked me good. That said, still filling FTX file, but I'm buying now, I'm gonna rise out of the ashes. It's pretty good. It's not a bad way to look at things. It's not easy though to come back after those beat downs. Nathan says, I wouldn't trust, I trust unless I control my own keys, which you cannot without setting up a corporation. That is true. A lot of people talking about, well, Rob, what about like a pure self-directed IRA? Well, I mean, digital asset news is a LLC. So in a certain way, shape or form, I could actually do that. But then I have to file the paperwork. They have to prove a lot of things. And then the expense could be a little bit higher than what I'm used to. So for me, I'm like, I'm gonna balance it out and just say, I don't wanna do that for me. If someone wants to start up their corporation, file the paperwork, go through the quarterly reports or anything else, you can do that. Or you don't have to do anything. You just sell your hands and don't say, I don't want this. And that's it. But in this situation, I'm just gonna use that trust and keep it going. Again, not gonna crush me if whatever happens. He goes and then Nathan says, I tried to set up an account with them, but the process seemed quite shady. So I backed out. Everybody's got a different opinion on this one. Like, you can look in the comments and people say, well, I did it, worked out pretty well. But for Nathan, it didn't, for whatever reason. Like I, from my experience was this. I sat down with the guys for 30 minutes and I'm like, I don't know if I even need this. And they said, well, you might not, this might work for you, but this doesn't work for somebody else. And they laid it out why this could actually be good for me, especially as far as like a Roth IRA, which is post taxes. You know, you pay something in taxes, you put it into the, to your Roth IRA, then if it's nine and a half years old, then you can take those things out. Which coincidentally is how Peter Thiel did it. He took his, the stocks and PayPal when they were worth pennies and a dollar and stuck them all in a Roth IRA. Guess how much that's gonna be worth when he turns, I think he's almost 60 now. In a couple of years, when he turns almost 60, 59 and a half, it's worth over $5 billion. Now it may be a little bit of fluctuation, but guess what, that's five billion tax free. And that's the power of the Roth IRA. All right. And then, this is funny, Siboku, Siboku. I smell a centralized shill. Look, these are the tough questions and this is what it is. So as far as like for this one, now remember I am biased, I use them. They have been, I have affiliate links. You don't have to use the affiliate link. You can go right to I trust capital and they are a part of the show. So as far as like this centralized centralization, it is centralized. If you don't wanna do this, don't do this. This is just what I'm doing. And my goals are not your goals. Siboku says Bitcoin is trustless, no need for I trust capital.  Or you could just go and everybody's different. Like somebody will say, Rob, I'm not gonna do anything with real estate or with my business or with businesses or with stocks. I'm going 100% of Bitcoin. Cool, do that. Do that. And that's up to you. You do you and I'll do me. And I'm just trying to bring different options to people for what's out there. Let's see. Fit connects as I trust nothing. That's pretty good.  Yeah, perhaps. So far, so good. Jeff says, absolutely diversification, gold silver Bitcoin, a little real estate, at least your resistance, you can swing it. I believe so. And then, well, this is all from Siboku, Celsius 2.0. Again, you have to understand where the revenue generation comes from. So the question is then, well, how did Celsius get that yield? Well, they did a bunch of loans, right? Which was double, you know, double collateralized. And then, of course, there was different loans on collateralized, uncollateralized way to institutional investors. And it was the big circle. And you could see that they were loaning out three hours capital and three hours capital was loaned to somebody else, then back to Voyager and then back around. And before you knew it, it was all just like really a Ponzi essentially. So Celsius is a bad example, I think. Again, how do you generate revenue? Where does your funds come from? Do you commingle? Well, again, 1% for the trading fees and that's it. Heck, over on, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we looking at between 0.5 and 1.5 for Coinbase? I know Coinbase Pro is different, but that could be wrong. And then CL says, why do my API links and CoinLinks are often not captured the original cost basis? I have to spend hours sorting the original purchase out at the end. Even more confused, fix this. I will pass it on to David and go from there. And see what happens. I personally, when I use CoinLedger, usually everything's pretty well, does pretty well, but there's always a hiccup. Nothing's perfect, right? So when I have an issue, I send them an email within 24 to 40 hours. I usually get a response back and then off I go. Although the last couple of times I haven't had an issue, so then okay, let's see. And then Navasta says, again, this was the question. How do you reconcile it with holding the keys to your crypto? You know, I against the old saying that you can do, which we answered a little bit ago. Again, it's all about what you wanna do. I personally, I'm not gonna hold anything on exchanges, exchanges. I trust is essentially an exchange, however it is in a cold storage, but you don't have your keys. If you don't wanna take that risk, I feel between two to 3% of my general portfolio is okay of a risk assessment and I'll be okay. I'm not gonna get crushed if it goes away. Jonathan says, I've had a good experience by interest so far. So far. As soon as I signed up, I got a call from them and answered my questions, makes sense. Nick Lucal, Kevin, the question was, is staking native or rehypothification of our assets? So for, for I trust there's no rehypothification, right? They're not gonna take your funds and your fractionalized credit lending, which is what Celsius did. What actually your banks do essentially? So the staking is through the actual protocol. The only staking that they have right now is Polkadot. And Polkadot, there's a great website. It's called stakingrewards.com. Wow, it's crazy. So right here, this just gives you a general assessment of how much you get. So Polkadot right now, the rewards, that's maybe your own per year is 14%. And that could fluctuate. And then the adjusted reward, the amount of reward rate just by the inflation of the network supply.  So with, I will just tell you this with I trust, you can stake your ledger and they're gonna get the rewards. However, and we covered this when it went live, just know that you're gonna get, let's say you, you stake a thousand Polkadot. And over the year, you get, now let's just say a hundred. Math's not my strong suit. So you say I have a hundred and it's like 15%, right? So you get 15 Polkadot, good, good. So we get 15 Polkadot for the year, it's not bad, right? However, out of that 15, you're not gonna keep all of that. I trust it's gonna charge you 20% for the staking. Before it was like, well, that's just highway robbery. All right, remember this, you don't have to do anything. They do all the work. Oh, and then also it is tax-free because it's in your Roth IRA. Does it change things? Well, there you go. So just remember it is 20% and that's the fee that they charge. That's how it is. And I hope to answer your question about that one. Jackal's got a good question here. What happens if you hold some digital assets if the government deems to be security? So remember, if the government comes out tomorrow and says, hey, guess what? Everything besides Bitcoin is a security. Okay, well, who does that affect? Does that affect you? Not really. Who's it gonna, it's going to affect, is it gonna affect the project heads, the project organization, and of course the exchanges that list those securities. What's that gonna mean so they're gonna have to go to the SEC to Gary who watched the show and say, Gary, okay. So we are now have a boatload of unregistered securities that we are listing. What's the process? Well, this is just, you gotta pay some fines. You gotta pay some fees and go through the legal process. Now if you go, then for the protocols themselves, they're like, hey, did you know that you're dabbling in unsecured securities?  You're gonna pay a fine for that. And then everything's good going forward. So it's gonna come down to the exchanges and the project heads now, as far as like with I trust, well, they're gonna have to register all these securities. Does that affect you? No, not really. It's gonna affect you in the long run probably.  I'm not for sure from the platform. I can almost guarantee you're gonna have to pay a little bit of more extra when you're doing trades. That's it. And then Wayne's got a good point. Why does anybody seek yield on Bitcoin? It's doubled in price every 12, 24 months for a decade. Oh, that's true. No. So I guess it depends on where you take it. So like 2017, you didn't hit that 20,000 price tag until 2020 again.  Why do you wanna keep yield? Because they're greedy like me. And that's just the truth. All right, what else did I miss? After these last few months, I have trusted, everybody's got trust issues. You gotta be careful. And you gotta say, well, does this seem legitimate? If I wanna do this, is this my risk tolerance? It's up to you to decide. Just tell you what I'm doing. And that's it. That's what I'm doing. Thanks, Marty. I try. Yeah, Johnny says, just cuss at them yourself. You can do it, but just know that when you, you know, when you cash out, you gotta pay long-term capital gains to the government. It just depends what you wanna do. Tarny to the party. I never heard that, it's funny. Trust wallet is hot storage, I don't trust it. I've had a lot of people say that they like the trust wallet. I never used it, so I can't tell you. This is where I wanted the conversation to go. I hope so. Yeah, it depends on your own tolerance. Like some people are like, nope, I don't wanna do it. And I'll be honest with you, if you're here in crypto, you have somewhat of a risk tolerance because let's be honest, crypto's pretty damn risky. I mean, in all honesty, you could just get into T-bills, right? You can just get into treasuries, just go, I like 3%. That's it. Won't keep you up with inflation, but that's okay. At least numbers go up and that's it. But then there's other people who say, well, I got massive risk tolerance and I'm gonna dump everything into Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. Just depends. A lot of people out there, a lot of options for you. Yeah, I do the same thing. Yeah. If it connects, it's actually a good point. What actually could bring down on treas is what people want to know. Sounds like the my risk is with who they use for storage and how are those entities gonna play off for the next 10 and 20 years? I guess it depends on, well, you have to understand though that let's just say, for instance, that Fireblocks is like, we don't wanna do this business anymore. Okay. Well, it's not like you just lose everything. You just transfer everything.  We just can't compete with these big banks like Wells Fargo and all the different ones that are out there, JP Morgan and stuff. So we're gonna shut down and you have to move your funds within 120 days or whatever it is. That's happened to me before. And you just move your funds to another bank. That's it. Lord Smith says, grayscale Bitcoin is in a trust, they dot, you need to do proof of reserve so I've been verified. Man, proof of reserve is actually a good thing. You know, I think I should bring that up to Kevin. Well, I have no pull, but that'd be interesting, right? Would you trust, I trust more if they went through proof of reserves? I think that is a dumb question I just asked you, but I have to ask the question. If let's say they had proof of reserves and they could show you, you know, how much crypto they have in coin-based custody and fire blocks, would that make it better, easier for you to say, pull the trigger or not really? Let me know. Oh, this is a great question. So Rubin says, with I trust, is the gold and silver a crypto? I wanna confuse it's gold and silver real or is it gold, silver represented by crypto? That's a great question. So it is actual gold and silver and what I need to do, let me show you. Because remember, it's a Roth IRA account. So it doesn't just have to be crypto, they just specialize in crypto. That's why they have gold and silver. That's why at the end of the conversation, Kevin was talking about an REIT, a real estate investment trust or fractionalized shares of real estate. Because it's legally, the Roth IRA is a Roth IRA. There's no like a separate designation for a crypto Roth IRA per se, but I'm aware of. And that's why they have gold and silver, but there was, let me go back here because they actually store the gold and the Royal Mint, the Canadian Royal Mint. I just wanna make sure I find it. Okay, here's Coinbase and Fireblocks. Oops, how it works. That's what I was looking for, precious metals. Ah, okay, physical gold and silver. I trust Gaby's Vault Chain Investment Grade Gold and Silver held physically at the Royal Canadian Mints with ownership manager via secure blockchain distributed ledger. Ah, okay, so you own it, but the terms of the information is actually on blockchain. Okay, how I trust gold and silver is that simple. Physical gold and silver, not a security derivative future or other financial contracts. Clients buy and sell 20 or seven from the personal dashboard, blah, blah, blah. Fully backed by physical gold and silver at all times. Okay, there you go. Okay, that was a good question. And I forgot about that one. Ah, let's see, let's see, let's see. What I miss. JT's got a good point. Kinda surprised that proof of reserve is not a standard thing already. Hopefully that'll be the way. So we were talking about this yesterday in the DCA show. Did you guys watch the DCA show yesterday? Woof, spicy comments. But one of those things I didn't make it abundantly clear was when we talked about regulation because when we talk about regulation, yes, there are, the US crypto exchanges are regulated in some way, some way by the US government, but banking license and things like that, whatever. But one of the things that is not, and we've seen this issue, is with co-mingling of funds. And that's what happened with FTX. See FTX, they took your crypto and everybody else's crypto and everybody, and they just put in a big slush fund. Okay, here's all our money. Well, it wasn't our money. It was my money, your money. Actually, I didn't really use FTX, it doesn't matter. And I used it a little bit and it's true. So all that was co-mingling, and then they would make the loans and do whatever they wanted to do. And they would ship it over to Alameda Research, which is their investment arm, and they would invest in the projects, but it was all your crypto. So what I was talking about yesterday was, and Gary, I hate to say this, but here's a very unpopular take, but Gary Gymsler did one that against Coinbase when they tried to come up with their earn program. Said, look, and then also he had a big question about co-mingling of funds. And now we know that's one of the downfalls. So I said, okay, they're regulated right now, but there should be a standard in place for all exchanges. Just like the basics, right? If you're gonna do loans, you got to have a separate entity for that. If you're gonna do a yield generation, you have to have a separate entity that you can't just have everything to slush together. You have to have not co-mingling of funds and just everything separated and also be able to, and even Jesse Powell, former CEO of Kraken goes, you guys, he talked about the SEC and government screwed up by not giving them guidelines and a managed process. I think that's the basics. If you can get that part, cool. And then the next part would be this, which is if you wanna have the gold standard, healthcare does this, construction works does this. And then also like, there was even a gentleman, Gerard, I forgot his last name, but he did a tweet, he goes, he'd worked in nuclear power plants for 30 or 40 years, a nuclear engineer. And he said, we are regulated by the government, but to keep the gold standard, we would all self enforce these different rules on the difference nuclear power plants. And that would raise our levels. I don't see why exchanges can't do that. So like here, what JT is saying, the proof of reserves is a great start by CZ Binance, great. Just the bare minimum to get us in. And then the ones that go above and beyond, I would sign up for those and say, oh, okay, well, here's all the transparency. Not only are we gonna give you the proof of reserves, which is our assets, here's our liabilities. And here's how we structured everything. And here's how it all works. And here's how we're not co-manualing your funds and if you can have something like that come out, but you have to, let's just say that they say, well, our rates are a little bit higher because of that. Like instead of paying 0.1% for the trade fee, now you gotta pay a 1.5%, I would pay that. I would pay that just to not have to deal with the ambiguity. However, I would still keep everything on my ledger as much as possible. And yeah, Louis says it right, proof of liabilities, perfect. Did I miss something? Okay, okay, sorry. Let's see. The only, the only real trust is full transparency. Yeah, why would it be risky to be honest? Exactly, honesty and proof reserves. Where am I gonna be announcing it to you, but it's lucrative. This is the thing that I always question. Like if you have a great business and you wanna be here 10, 20, 50, 100 years and you wanna leave something to your kids and grandkids, why don't you just do the right thing? Just do the right thing and go forward. See, but that's a problem. Like this is my flaws. I always think people are gonna just do it like how I think they're gonna do it or like me, but my wife reminds me that you don't understand just people that are just going to steal and pollutes and make a quick buck and leave. I guess a slow, a slow nickel's better than a fast dime, it's an old thing, doesn't matter. Stunard says, why am I now hearing about FTX having no Bitcoin and balance? You have to understand there's some nuances there. As I understand it's the no Bitcoin on the balance was right, that was a snapshot of a spreadsheet after they did the chapter 11 and they actually have it, but I'll have to take a look at the information again, as I understand it, they do have Bitcoin just not as much. They thought they did. Is USDC safe or SAFU, CZB says it? It makes me not wanna be in stables, the different things that are coming about. So I don't know, but isn't it funny how we talk about how great crypto is and how it is to go out of the system yet? You know, where do you wanna put your money? I'm not putting in stable coins right now, especially Tether too, even though Tether has stood the test of time so far. That's it. Yeah, maybe that's a good point. Why can't there be something like the FDIC insurance for exchanges? Who's gonna come along and ensure that? That's a good question. George says, how does staking work and I trust? It's pretty simple, you just log into your account and then you'll say, cause they only have one now, polka dot. Do you wanna stake this? And you say yes. And are you okay with the terms and conditions and you read it and you figure out I was 20% for a fee? Sure. I'm not doing anything for it. I get 80% profits. That's pretty much it. They stake it for you. Thank you. And that's all. So Dr. Payne says, self-directed IRA I'm able to stake for my heart of wall. That's true, but I believe you have to be a corporation. Maybe Dr. Payne is doing that. This is for other people who may not have a corporation or just don't wanna do it.  We know what they're doing with the funds. It's called fractional reserve lending. You put in a hundred bucks and they say, thanks for a hundred bucks. And then they just create another 99 loan and all out. Double E says, Rob, can you have a video on to track your cost basis? Yes, I will do it. And I just gotta find the right program that does that. I've had some people say, this one does agree with me. I don't know. Showstop spamming. Ah, right. I think that's it. That's it for today, everybody. I gotta get out of here. Today's, yeah, Dr. Payne, what's just that? Payne, how do you initiate that self-direct? I'll stick around for this one. I wanna know this one. And also, has anybody found a way to bypass any centralized exchanges? Someone told me that you can sign up for TrueUSD, link your bank and get that stablecoin and then just go through DeFi and buy everything that way. I wanna see if that's true. I can't do it because I'm in Puerto Rico and Texas and Panda Pi, Panda Pi says, this is my first real bear mark. I'm amazed with the change of speech about crypto when Bitcoin fell from 20k to 16k, but we know where it's going in the end. Up. Yeah, I mean, I kind of felt like this was gonna be, the language has been pretty tame, quite honestly. In 2018, 2019, you understand, there was no real institutional investors coming in. There was no talk from the White House of regulating and even doing anything with crypto because it was laughable. And people did think that it could go to zero. And now it's not the case. And I'm just surprised at just how many exchanges collapsed. And I don't think that's the last one either. I think the ones that don't have a good business model and just we're doing a quote unquote circle jerk of just transferring funds all the way around everybody to get to gain yield and doing crazy loans, those are the ones that are going out. Or who gave loans out to other industries and then they got sucked up by three ACs and FTX and all done. Oh, okay, that's how we did it. So we did a trust, understood, I know it's a lot of, a lot of lawyer meetings. So yeah, you can do a trust and do all those things, but trust me on the trust. It gets a little bit confusing and you gotta set it up with lawyers and you gotta do it the right way. And inevitably someone's gonna say, yeah, I did it myself. You can, but just know there's a lot of loopholes and a lot of legal trip ups if you don't do it right because you gotta have it for your kids. And that's it. And that's it everybody. Hey, get out of here. I gotta go play. Time to go to the beach, go play a little volleyball today. That'd be fun times. That's what I love about Puerto Rico. There's always a game somewhere. Anyhow, that's it for today. So look, thanks for sticking with me for an hour on a Saturday. If you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up. Also consider subscribing to all these talk about our time sensitive. But that is it for today. Thank you again for stopping by. Don't forget, tomorrow I got my man Tom Crown on that we did an interview about taking profits and his way of doing trades. Pretty interesting. Adios, bye.


The following is a production of New Mexico State University. We're back again at the stunning Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. Today, I'm taking a special tour of the park's inspiration gardens. Let's go take a look. Andrea, this mountain laurel is something a lot of gardeners in the Southwest like to grow or want to grow, but they really can't do it in the colder climates, can they? Right, yeah. It's really something that really grows here in central Texas and further on south. It's one that people really love to have in their garden. It's an evergreen, large shrub to small tree, but what's really great about it is in the springtime we get these beautiful clusters of purple flowers. They look similar to wisteria, but it's really on a tree, it's not a vine. And they're extremely fragrant. If you could smell this on TV, you could smell great bubblegum all over and it's really quite a treat. And this is really a woodland part of the garden here. Yeah, this corner here is a woodland plant community and you would find mountain laurels in central Texas growing mixed with live oaks and different things on dry, rocky slopes. Some of the other woodland species are planted in here with it, so you can get kind of a feeling. If you have shade in your garden, different things that you could plant. Grasses, they don't like shade, but the sunny spot in the shaded garden. Yeah, if you have an open sunny spot, something like this big mealy on the edge of a woodland would be really just fine. But it does need more full sun. Some of the other shade plants that we have, as you mentioned, the spiderwort is really good for shady situations. Their need, because they bloom beautiful purple flowers in the springtime. They go totally dormant in the summertime. On the Edwards Plateau, you get more precipitation than a lot of other parts in Southwest. You get some wet areas, don't you? Yeah, we do. The limestone doesn't really soak in a lot of water, so we have some streams and here are some different plants that will grow along stream sides. What's also nice about the stock tank is for those people who do live on limestone that's very hard to dig into, if they want a pond, they can still do something by just putting a stock tank right on top of the limestone. That's really clever. Now, what do we have over here? Well, this is the opposite from water we've moved to a dry, rocky hillside. And these plants that are growing in this garden are things that you would find growing together in a dry, rocky environment. If you have any kind of soil at all, these are the kinds of plants that you could grow in the Texas Hill Country. So this is a Texas version of an English rock garden. Exactly. There's some grasses here. Yeah, here we have what most people might think of as a typical wildflower meadow. We have a combination of flowers and grasses mixed in along with it. And this is all part of this garden, which is more how to use native plants in a more naturalistic sort of design. If you'd like to see a more formal design using native plants, Jill Nooks's Garden is our newest and you might go look at that. That sounds really good. Thanks, Andrea. Thank you. Jill, I understand you designed this formal garden here. What was your purpose? Well, we worked with the staff to provide different models for the use of native plants in a varying style. So, for example, if somebody likes a formal style, wants a more controlled, organized landscape, native plants are still an appropriate use for that kind of expression in a garden. So in here, we're using symmetry, we're using hardscape, and the plants all together to have a very kind of structured look. Okay, what are the important elements that you've got here? Well, we have first a hardscape. We used rustic materials for the pathway in a patio, and eventually we're going to have benches. But they're constructed in a very artistic and refined way. There is no mortar joints, they're put very tightly together. So it's almost like an artwork right there. Also, we use these plants that we call architectural plants like this sapote or this Mexican persimmon that has a very interesting shape and form to it that we can control with clipping and pruning, but it keeps that structure all year round. Also, you'll notice these very common plants like these eastern red cedars, but this is from a population a little east of Austin that has a very columnar shape. So in this case, we use them and say a substitution for the Italian cypress, which doesn't really thrive here as well as our native cedars. The last thing is we're using a substitute for a turf area as this native Texas cedars. Now, as you can tell, this is a very new garden, so it's really sparse right now at the first month that it's been installed, but eventually these cedars will merge and we'll have little native bulbs coming in between them. This is an area that will be green all year round, drought tolerant, but doesn't need to be mowed or manicured in that way. So it'll be a nice contrast with the perennial border around the edges. I think this is really novel. A lot of people don't realize you can use native plants in a very formal manner. I'm going in that direction. Thank you, Jill. You're welcome.

This is Witchspace news for Friday the 12th of June 2020, I'm CMDR Buur. In this weeks news we have a round up of all the fleet carrier news, Frontier gives a financial trading update, the AXI launch a new website and more. If you enjoy this video consider subscribing and also click the little bell icon to make sure you don't miss any of our future videos, that stuff really helps us smaller channels. As I'm sure you're almost certainly aware by now the much anticipated oh so very much delayed fleet carrier update made it into the live game this week. Originally teased at the Frontier Expo in October 2017, two and a half years ago the update has seen more than its fair share of bumps and wiggles before finally morphing into what we know today as the personal fleet carrier. The launch of the update was not without its own bumps and wiggles however with numerous connectivity and crash issues spoiling the party for a lot of commanders this one included for the first 24 hours, however after Frontier pulled a couple of no doubt very long shifts the game is mostly stable again now with only a few small bugs rather than absolute showstoppers still to be ironed out. As of this morning Anara is reporting that there are around 5200 carriers currently in the game just for the base price alone that's somewhere in the order of 26 trillion credits spent and doesn't include the added services commanders will have chosen on top. If you're still on the financial fence about whether to stump up the 5 billion credits asking price down to earth astronomy has created a fleet carrier affordability calculator that will work out your purchase price and running costs with the services you want active or suspended. With the launch of a new update there's always a sprint to discover the new money making meta and with something expensive like the fleet carrier being the headline feature for this update it is certainly the case now more than ever. The update saw the death of the brand triple low temperature diamond hotspot but within a few hours a new overlapping triple low temperature diamond mining meta hotspot has already been discovered. It's a little bit outside the bubble this time but if you own a fleet carrier it's a trivial matter. For those that don't yet own a carrier but are perhaps looking to earn the credits to buy an afford one then ironically a very cool new fleet carrier tritium fuel trading meta that in self involves cooperating with other commanders who own a carrier is rapidly surfacing as the current way for everyone carrier included to make a fast buck. As at the time of recording both systems included in the new money making metas are now so full of carriers that you can't get any more carriers in there and the excess carriers are spilling into the neighbouring systems. The new pilot's initiative player group announced this week that they are hosting a colonia express event starting on July the 5th. The fleet carrier Petronus will be leaving the bubble jumping straight to colonia and then returning roughly a month later. The trip is free but donations of tritium to help fuel the trip would be greatly appreciated and one final bit of carrier news commander absolver has created a fleet carrier management web tool. It's early days still for the in development app but thus far you can register your carrier post a scheduled jump, search systems for carriers, search DSSA carriers specifically and interrogate a specific registered carrier to view its access details. Links to all of these are in the video description below. The Twitch streamer trans tech girl will be hosting a 48 hour live stream event on the 19th of June to raise money for the McMillan cancer support charity in honour of her aunt who sadly passed away earlier this month. During the event she'll be moving the newly commissioned fleet carrier the ISF Mandy's Rest to its permanent anchorage in the Mayor Somnia region, a trip that is expected to take the full 48 hours. Links to everything you need to participate are in the description below. The Anti-Xeno initiative launched their new website this week as well as updates on the status of the Thargoid conflict, the website contains recommended AX ship builds, science reports on AX activity and encounters and wiki articles about AX combat tactics, the definitive AX resource. Before we go a quick bit of fdev company news, the company released a new financial trading update this week that I've linked below if you're curious. It contains some healthy telephone-like numbers which bode well for the future of the company and therefore the game as well. They also give an insight into just how expensive maintaining development at a company like Frontier is. The Odyssey announcement is mentioned in the report and the wording in its description is only slightly different to that used in the community announcement mentioning quote, allowing players to touch down on countless new planets powered by stunning new tech and explore with unrestricted freedom from a first person feet on the ground perspective unquote. Unsurprisingly no new details there on exactly what planets that feet on the ground exploration will actually extend to just Odyssey planets or Horizon's airless worlds as well, only time will tell. The company's full yearly financial results are due on September the 9th, it's likely to be a bumper one. That's it for now, thanks very much for watching, we'll be back later this week with more videos until then, 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack. We very much look forward to seeing you next time.
