 and we are live. What's up guys? Hope you're having a good weekend. Like always let's do some sound checks over here. So if you can hear me in the chat box just say yes. I just want to confirm that the audio is working well and also that you guys can see me and the connection is strong. And then we can start off a question. So I'm going to come first serve questions like always. If your question is about price predictions, I won't answer it because I really don't care about it or do I really study it? But if your question is more related to technology, business building, spirituality or whatever you want to talk about, I'm all game for it. This is a complete open session. So go ahead and ask me whatever you guys want to ask me. Someone's exams are approaching soon. So rich. Good luck, man. All the best. I can relate. My fiance has been in med school for the last four and a half years, four years. What do I think about steam it? I think it's a great platform steam steam it. The technology is good. There are a lot of issues with the token economics. There's a lot of issues with fraud. I'll give you example with block geeks. For example, everybody rips our shit off at steam it and I can't really do nothing about it. At least with Google, if somebody rips off your content, you can have a form at the MSA, something I forget the name of the form is and report that they're copywriting and plagiarizing you and monetizing off of your content. And for the most part, Google's pretty good within like an hour. So Google will penalize them and take down their website. I can't do that shit on steam it. The shit, the amount of plagiarism on steam and it's fucking ridiculous. So if they can fix that, that will be a good start. What's my views on hash graph? It's a private patented technology. So with any private, let's say distributed ledger or DAC or private blockchain, you can do whatever you want. Simple as that. Do you, do I think this is from digest yourself? Do I think EOS will make ETH obsolete? Guys, anybody who thinks in absolute terms and you guys need to study startup life and you need to study how software works and you need to study how businesses compete against each other. It's not simply something just disappears. And the problem in the blockchain space is a lot of people are making promises, a lot of people are making what if, a lot of people are making assumptions. And if we're looking at this, that's not how reality works. It takes tremendous amount of execution, timing to create an ecosystem such as Ethereum. Will EOS destroy Ethereum? I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to say no. Can they coexist? Yes. And at the end of the day, we're still in the first inning of this technology. And we have a lot of room to grow, a lot of experimentation to do. So when anybody tells you the next killer of this or it's going to kill that or obsolete, that don't listen to that bullshit. Okay. Next questions. Somebody wants to launch a project is from Neil. He wants to launch a project. Which platform do you think I should launch it on? Neem, Ethereum, Waves? That's up to you. A couple of things you have to take into consideration is what are the differences in the platform from Ethereum to EOS, to Waves, to Neo, to Quantum, et cetera. And is there enough of a network effect on these platforms that makes sense for your DAP? Next thing is where are the developers? Can you actually find developers to develop for you? The next thing is, doesn't even make sense from a technological aspect, like how many transactions are you expecting on your DAP? Next thing you need to ask yourself, is there actual business model to this? Not where you create a token, you're like, oh, you're going to use my token like, like Canadian monopoly money, what's it called? Canadian Tire money. That's not a business model. A business model is like, you allow me to pay with Fiat, you allow me to pay with Ether or Bitcoin, you collect the transaction fee off of that, or you have a profit margin on a product or service that you're selling. And that's speculation. If your token is the sheer speculation, that's a pyramid scheme. Any comments on the Lume Network upcoming DAP chains to help Ethereum? Yeah, Lume Network is interesting. Anybody who is working on tools and platforms to make DAPs easier to create is good. My only concern with a lot of these DAPs is business models. Like how are you going to create a business, and this is where we have to think outside of box, new business models. But if your business model is creating a token and forcing me to use your fucking token, that's not a business model. A business model is very simple. You accept Fiat, you accept Bitcoin, you accept Ether in exchange for a service or a product. That's how it works. Okay, next question. Would I have been able to create blockheeks on my own without a co-founder? Yeah. But every single company I've ever had, I had co-founders. I just like to work with co-founders. Everybody has their own strengths, and co-founders could be investors, co-founders could be part-time, full-time. It depends on what kind of relationship, how well you know them, how do you organize your organization, how do you create your startup from the ground up, what skills you have. For me, I'm not the most detail oriented, but I like to move fast. I like to break things. I like to create beautiful teams that work well together. So that's my strength. So it all depends. For me, I'm not a developer. I don't like to program whatsoever. So having technical co-founders, having, let's say, even proper CFOs at the beginning who really understand the accounting, profit and loss, etc. It's really important. In fact, continuing on that, if you read anything from Michael Clay Christensen, so innovators solution, innovators dilemma, two fucking books that you should read, he talks about the average successful Silicon Valley unicorn. I think it's about 3.2, 3.3 co-founders. Question, what do I think about the educational platform and blockchains like big degree? Yeah, there's like big degree. There's Academy. They have a token, I'm gonna be honest. People ask me, why doesn't blockheeks have a token? Why do I need a token for blockheeks? I'm actually gonna ask you guys a question. Why do I need one? Why should I force an artificial token to be used to purchase courses on my platform or our platform? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. And plus we have much different goals and, let's say, approached than other people. From Robert, do you feel like having a donation percentage built into a DAP is a valid business model? No. If it's a donation, that's a charity. It's not a business model whatsoever. A business model is something that's predictable, sustainable that I can calculate exactly from quarter to quarter from Q1 to Q4, right? Every 90 days. Exactly how much I'm gonna make and how much I'm gonna lose. Sustainable and predictable. Donation is not sustainable. Well, it is sustainable, but it's not predictable. And pretty much as a charity, it's a donation. So you could run a DAP as a non for profit charity where you run it that way, if it makes sense, but that has to be a public utility. Our next one. Crypto X planet, what type of business to run block cakes, go check it out.com. Yes, what I think about polymath, polymath, I know the team way before the plug chain space, they want to create a standard ST 20 token for securitized tokens, but themselves, they're not securities. They did the not they did the foundation route in Barbados. That's run by Trevor Corverco. And I know the whole team very well. I don't know, I'm not sold on securitized tokens yet. I don't see them as a massive benefit yet. The technology is still brand new. Regulations still trying to figure out things. So I think we have a very long way to go. I think polymath is just a first generation move. There's going to be second, third, fourth generation moves. And in the future, truthfully, this might just personal opinion, I don't believe I will come. I don't believe startups will need platforms to create a secure securitized token, you can just do it yourself and follow regulations no different than if I want to do a corporation today or reggae today, or do jobs act crowd equity funding, like you can do it yourself. But that's my opinion, everyone's different. Thoughts on iota. Lately, they've been having a lot of issues from a PR perspective. A lot of researchers from MIT. That's one school, but there's other ones, I think Berkeley as well. They've been coming out and poking holes at it. And I think iota just needs to have better public relation and have a sit down and start talking publicly. So far, what I've been reading, and I'm not a researcher, and I'm not a cryptographer, things that I've been reading and talking to cryptographers and security specialists in the industry, things don't look that well for iota. But I could be wrong or they could be wrong, but I would like to see more of an open dialogue between both people who are poking holes and iota that defends themselves, as opposed to just each of them screaming over the table, I'm right, he's wrong, blah, blah, blah, blah, but actually having a real communication. From Abbas, any thoughts on Tezos, Tezos problems, Tezos foundation problems, foundation problems were fixed. They appointed two new people to the head of the board or the foundation board. Tezos is interesting self governance on Tezos. They have the worst token name ever, Tezzi or something like that. I think it's good what they're doing. I think they should experiment. I think governance on a root blockchain has were really long way away from figuring out what governance is. And I think governance needs to be put into a box of context, meaning it's all case dependent. You can't have a generalized governance. So I really want them to work hard. And I want to see what they come up with. And it's going to be a great case study, and a great experimentation to be utilized and learned from for other people to implement. Where am I from? Any chance you're coming to Vancouver, BC from Toronto, Vancouver? I don't know. I don't have any plans really travel anywhere. Except mostly maybe going to Japan in April for conference. No, no, I don't know if it's for conference. I got something for business. What's my thoughts on the Telegram ICO? I think it's fucking crazy. Well, over $700 million raised right now, the white paper is fucked with ridiculous buzzwords. Every single smart blockchain full stack developer cryptographer that I know is just saying it's a joke. And it is like it's a money grab. You'll see it's gonna be so much pump and dump with early tranche investors. Sanjos, I was before in older videos, you're better in shape. No more time for training in nature with kettlebell workout. I still train. I'm more lean, actually. I'm actually on a eight week program to put back 12 pounds of muscle. But then again, I really don't care for aesthetics. You know, people care about aesthetics. I don't give a flying fuck for aesthetics. I actually care for performance. And one of my loves in life and I always love this since day one is fighting. And for me, it's about how do I perform as a fighter? Monero roadmap adoption. This is from Sky Walker. Does the future hold? I like Monero. I like the team. I like the community. I like the use cases. And I've been bullish on Monero since day one. Future privacy coins more the better the more experiments the better. Simple as that. And it's needed. That's a thing. It's actually needed. Any updates on rootstock? No, I have no idea what they're doing. They've been working on for a while. It's like a long, long, long time. Golem. You're still working on it. Simple as that. When will EOS mainnet launch? I have no idea. They launched testing it. Well, a month or two ago, maybe less something like that. So this year, sometime I think they said maybe summer. What do I think about the Lightning Network? I think it's great. You know, there's pros and cons. But I think any and all scaling solutions, second, third, fourth layer scaling solutions are needed. You can't be running all the users on the root chain. There has to be side chains and drive chains. And right now, I think it's like plus 1500 nodes or something on the Lightning Network. It's fucking awesome. Sunny, what platforms do you think will survive in five years? Sunny, you can't predict that in any market. What platforms will survive in five years, especially when it's a brand new market, like, there's no fucking way I can make a prediction five. And even in the fucking startup scene, with like e-commerce and other tech companies that I'm involved in, you can't even predict fucking three years of my little five. Predictions are overrated. Let me put it that way. From GXT, I'm the type of guy that like Neo. I know the Neo team. I know the Neo team. I know the Quantum team. What other teams do I know? I know I know majority of the team. They're all good. Yeah. I like, Neo's okay. Quantum is good. Quantum is a good team. Most of the new ICOs is a big joke. Yeah. Majority of these new ICOs are money grabs, pump and dumps. People are going in at, well, fuck. I've heard this one ICO wanted 400% discount on token or giving away 400% of discount. Like, what the fuck, man? That's just sort of targeted. That's not a good word to use, but it's, I would say giving away 400% has a lot to say about the people building the business. That's insane. And majority of these ICOs, it's a pump and dump with wheel groups and institutional investors coming in on the pre-seed sale or pre-token sale and getting ridiculous discounts. As soon as it hits the market to get like a 20x liquidity event, they dump it and then the public comes in like, it's complete pump and dump, no product, no business model, technology can't function with thousands of users, might as well, millions of users. It's insane. What do I think about Tai Lopez? He's an opportunist. That's simple as that. He's in an internet market. He tells you this fucking, what's it called? Warning labels are seen on his ads pop on YouTube. He's like, I'm a professional internet marketer. That's all you need to know. Adam, Adam, as you said, your fighter, question is, do you have all your teeth? No, no, I don't. I have a, on the front one, this has been massively chipped. I've constantly have to keep on filling it and I'm actually missing a tooth completely over here. Funny enough, I'm actually having facial dental surgery probably end of March or April to finally fix that. It's a big job, but yeah, I've been hit too many times in the face. And when I do spar these days, I'm fully equipped. I mean, full body gear, head gear, mouth guards, and when I mean my body gear, I'm talking about like Olympic body gear, where we have complete chest, head, not just jockstrap, full frontal body guard. I don't fuck around. Like, getting hit in the head is not healthy. Cauliflower ear from Robin. Fuck no, no, no, I hate that shit. I used to wear guards all the time. Fuck. It's a badge of honor for a lot of people. I hate it. You can actually, the thing is like cauliflower ear, once you catch it early, you can completely remove it. You just cut it and let it drain. But a lot of the fighters don't want to do that to consider a badge of honor for me. It's like, if fucks your hearing and it looks ugly as shit. What do I think about Shopify? They're fucking great. They're in Toronto. They're the best e-commerce platform period, like hands down, hands fucking down. Highly recommend them to anybody looking to start e-commerce company. Questions one second, they're coming in quick. Skywalker, again, best books on business investing, building brands, some books on top of my mind, market, like you mean it. Um, professions of a price, professions of the pricing man, how price affects everything is really good for business. How to get rich by Felix Dennis. Don't let the title fool you. Felix Dennis is one of the, was one of the best entrepreneurs, former founder of Maxim magazine, passed away, I think a decade ago or something like that. Um, seeking wisdom, author Peter Bevelin, chronicling Warren Buffett and sorry, chronicling Charlie Munger. And then a segue to that, Charlie Munger's almanac is good. Anything by M. Clay Christensen, like I said, innovator solution, innovators dilemma. So those are some books on top of my mind. Oh, Peter Teal, zero to one is another one. Anything by J. Abraham is another one. Good for marketing. Another one is chat homes, ultimate sales machine. These are just ones on top of my mind. From sunny personal question, quit my job. Last year struggling a little bit. Any books I highly recommend Jordan Peterson's last book, 12 steps. Forget the full title, but it's 12 steps. Jordan Peterson, get the book, read it from Neil Gunner, the gunner smart contracts on Bitcoin. Yes, they just created an option for that. I forget what the coding is called. But you can do that with rootstock too, which is pretty exciting. So I'm excited for that smart contracts on Bitcoin. Super excited for that. Do I think the stock market is in a bubble? I think we are in an economic bubble and it's been progressing since 2008 in the United States because it was never fixed. The problems are suppressed with QE quantitative easing when trillions of dollars have been printed out. What happens when you increase supply of something? Obviously devaluation of that supply or it devalues the supply because there's more of it. Not to mention suppressing interest rate levels. So combined QE quantitative easing, printing of trillions of dollars of money, bailing people out, having very low suppressed interest rates, people living beyond their means. Think about this. If the interest rate goes up like 0.5, so half a percentage, that can put people out of a house. When a family cannot afford 300 bucks extra a month for their mortgage, my number one question is why the fuck do you have a fucking mortgage if you can't afford an extra $300? Why the fuck are you living beyond your means? Like buying a house, going to debt half a million dollars or a million dollars and literally scraping by every month. It's not the smartest fucking thing to do. Simple as that. For fuck's sakes, it irritates me how people live beyond their means. It's like you make say 50k you and your wife each as 100k but you're living a fucking $200,000 lifestyle. Like what the fuck from Robin? Why aren't companies like Google and Facebook paying attention? Oh trust me they're paying attention. Come on, come on. They're paying attention deeply. Listen, all these funny daps coming out and in Telegram doing all this stuff. Imagine Facebook did something with cryptocurrency. They'll put everyone out of business. Come on, it's all about network effects. Facebook, Google, they have the users, they have your data. They can easily adopt some variations of technology and put 99% of all these other daps and blockchain businesses out of business. Simple as that. They have the resources to do it. This is from EI. I created a crypto review site for people to review fundamentals of cryptos. Rating is based on security, dev team reach, coin distribution, fungibility, privacy, transparency. I would add business model. It fucking hurts my fucking head when there's no fucking talk of fucking business models. Come on guys. It's a fucking startup. What is the business model? How the fuck do you make money? Simple as that. If your fucking token is only reliant on more people buying your fucking token, that's a pyramid scheme. End the story. You need to create a real business model enough force me to use your stupid fucking token. So if you can have that on your review section, where how they're actually making money without forcing me to use your shitty token, that'll be really good. From Frank, and what's the best product use case you find for blockchain? Enterprise would be supply chain, so logistics, but that's private. That's not public. And for public, still digital identity is really important in protecting your own data. And guys, we still haven't solved the original promise of the Satoshi White Paper, which is peer to peer commerce. A secure private coin is peer to peer commerce. That still needs to be solved. And for more merchants and companies to accept it, that's why I'm super excited about Lightning Network where you can instantaneously get Bitcoin. Like send it, I got it right away. Okay, questions are coming in. Timothy Miso, can you give me some advice on being an entrepreneur? Yeah, ideas are worthless. That's when I hear people saying I'm an idea, I'm like, I don't give a fuck about your idea. What matters most is identification of problems. Because problems are pains for company or people. And if you can solve that pain, if you can identify first that pain that people have currently in the marketplace of the timing as of today and solve that pain for the company or the person, then you have a business because people willing to pay you to fix that. So identify a problem first. And how you do that is just talk to companies, talk to people and do research. Do I follow the UFC? Time to time. There's so many events these days. But yeah, time to time, I'm fairly follow it. You know, loosely. People keep on talking about minor one. I don't know what the fuck it is. So I'm not going to comment on it. And I probably won't research it because I had no time. So that's that. I have no idea what minor one is. How many languages do I know? I know two and I'm trying to learn the third one, which is Spanish. So I know Yugoslavian, which is Slavic language, which I understand a bit of Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, English, obviously, and then currently learning Spanish. How do I make time for everything? I organize my life. Simple as that. If it's not in my calendar, if it's not booked, it's not part of my reality. That's it. Usually my life is booked out 14 days in advance. I know exactly when I'm going to the gym. I know my business meetings. I know what I'm learning. I know when I have dinner or I'll say date night. I know everything. Every fucking, let's say, thing that I'm about to do in a day is booked out 14 days in advance. I'm going to answer one more question, guys. And then I got to go. So let me see a good question from Frank. I don't know if it's Frank or Frank. It's what it is. So do I still microdose to stimulate your state of mind? Here and there, silly side been Iboga, so Ibogaine, and sometimes LSD. That's one 16th of a tab. And I do it sporadically when I feel like I need to do it. Lately, I've just been doing a lot of cold, sorry, hot cold therapy with saunas almost every day and a lot of deep breathing like Wim Hof. It's been really good, good experimentation. But like always consult your physician. Talk to shamans. I highly recommend looking into maps, multi disciplinary association or psychedelic research with Rick Dublin hands down the fucking best organization when it comes to the science and research of this stuff. And if you can afford spare a dollar towards them, they're a nonprofit research foundation. Try to help them out. They're amazing. Okay, guys, I'll keep it at that. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Sunday. The sun is out. I want to catch some sun. I will see you guys next week. Have a great weekend. Adios.
