 We are live. What's up? We'll be doing another Q&A and Like always let's do sound check and video check. Let's check my audio over here. Oh, I don't hear audio Here we go if you guys hear me if you guys can hear me say yes Speakers still aren't working. Let me see. There we go Speakers aren't good Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes All right, like always guys, this is the random show. We're complete bullshit and randomness That means you can ask me any questions about anything Whatever it may be. I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability, but no stupid questions, please None of these price predictions or any of that stuff or what to invest in that's your own due diligence guys Do your own investigative work for that? Yes What about it? So what's the question? So this is from a whitey bulger bulger? Oh, so we got two questions a question from Timothy when it comes to I thought about ideas for my honeymoon. Yeah And the next question is from Peru foodie about stable coins. I'll answer both of those Number one for the honeymoon that's been completely planned Thanks to my lovely fiance. She's been doing on the planning So we'll be going our wedding would be in Dubrovnik Croatia and then from that We're gonna go spend some time in microscope and how about and then a monthly coast and Tuscany then Santorini Greece and think Yeah, that's pretty much it Should be a good time Okay, so How do I feel about stable coins? Okay stable coins It's interesting because there's a lot of use cases for stable coins obviously for hedging crypto within exchanges Which is really important stable coins can definitely be used in DAPs to wear off um Issues with volatility right think about a DAP if you have a set price and your Token keeps on fluctuating on a day-to-day basis. That is if you need a token doesn't Doesn't do well with your users if your token decreases on a day-to-day basis But the thing is very difficult to make a stable token It's very easy to create a token in an internal closed ecosystem But when it's external in an open system Dynamics are quite different right and there's three ways of creating a stable token. You have collateralization by fiat, which is Supposedly a tether today or the new ones you have true USD Then you have collateralization by crypto such as the maker Dow and then you have non Collateralization which is just pegged on algorithms Which is basis right now? Smart cut think of a smart contract central bank. That's what basis is doing It's a big experimentation for all those so the big ones are true USD maker Dow in basis and I think it's needed So it's interesting to see which one will win I don't think so we'll have a winner take all in this space Especially when it comes to that we're very early, but it's fascinating to see how this technology plays out All right, so this around Vinny 2688 actually before we get to Vinny's let me do Nick So do you see bit degree as a competitor to block eeks? No, I don't there's many other educational platforms out there One we don't need it. We don't have a token. We don't need a token number two. We already have revenue We're predictable SaaS business number three. We're about adding value, you know, I could ease block eeks guys I could easily done a token and raise 40 million dollars But block eeks doesn't need a token right? We're actually building real products of people using a day-to-day basis We have thousands of students using a day-to-day basis and we're scaling on a day-to-day basis They're coming up right 15 team members people in Russia So I'm all about creating sustainable predictable business that's successful and the people are have fun and people are happy in the business And also add value in the world and actually solving the problem So are we competitors? No always tell people made the best person company win The marketplace is always right or the market is always right and think more competition out there Whatever you define as competition is better. It pushes people to be innovative and To grow their business per se and that's always better to the end user From Vinnie to six eight eight. How did he know you were ready to get married? Did he have doubts and fears? We've been together a long time It's eight years this summer. So we're getting married. It's eight years We've been engaged pretty much three years. We've been living together Fuck six years, I believe yeah, so it's not about like The doubts and fears is I consider myself already married, you know, what's the difference? So it's just the time together gives you the answer from Whitey again, what's your thoughts on Roger veer and Bitcoin cash debate? It's politics, you know people are Politicking Roger has his agenda other people have their agenda Welcome to business Retro Fred, how can we prevent 51% mining attacks when mining pools get bigger and bigger? Couple of ways you can prevent that a anyone can become a miner B depends on the hardware that you're talking about which a six are you talking about see it depends on how much is cost of electricity So there's different There's many different. Let's say variables when it comes to that It's a good question It's from Tori Richard if you have a good blockchain application idea How would you suggest you move forward building a building a dev team and gaining funding? You know talk to people build out a very small lean canvas model not a white paper maybe one page to three pages talk to many people and That's the best way to go at it From name shares, and are you going to the crypto influence VIP some in New York? No, I'm not the only two events I'm coming up that I'm going to is a on conference in Toronto and Ed Khan as well in Toronto And then I'll be in Berlin for the block show Europe I think I was like May 28th, then I'm pretty much it I'm not doing any other traveling I got my honeymoon my wedding and it's summer in Toronto, and then I got my cottage Like I'm not going anywhere. I don't like traveling too much when I like to be close to my friends and family Single Alex with you one of my most excited about in the space in your future Still excited about Bitcoin being Bitcoin and Bitcoin actually holding up to the promise I want to say promise but holding up to the potential that it has or I peer-to-peer Currency I want that to see out. I'm big on the platforms and the ecosystem being built Ethereum You know Bitcoin Monero Woodstocks coming out. So these big platform plays. I'm more or less interested in things Diana. I appreciate it Now am I sure some dev listed me as a speaker in New York Well, if you send me the link I'll take a look at that. I know I'm not going to New York Maybe my team is but I'm not Okay Thank You King Johnny. I appreciate the kind words Have I heard of props? Yeah, I have. Oh, I knew the project long time ago. They approached me for some help It's interesting, right? Different than YouTube so more or less kind of like snapchat they haven't really released it fully out to everybody It's still in beta. They raised their toe. They raise their money from their token They're saying it's decentralized You know, there's many variables when it comes to this stuff No, look at YouTube YouTube is owned by Google. You have the search volume, right? You have the SEO on YouTube You get you know, big YouTube stars get paid ridiculous amounts of money when it comes to YouTube ads as well as sponsorship as well as distribution as well as reach as Well as tools that comes with that with the analytics, right? So it's very finding a hard to see like how you're gonna convince somebody in YouTube making three million dollars a Year to go over to your platform, right? So It's interesting. I want them to succeed. I think it's a fascinating idea I'm still not sold on the whole token though. So I just leave it at that Does my wife takes psychedelics.

Not yet. We have a full affiliate system being built as we speak That should go live mid-May give or take Do you do trading technical analysis or long-term investor? I do zero trading Anything I do is long-term extremely long-term Okay Devender yet dove what domains are you most excited in? From crypto's perspective IOT supply chain AI I'm still excited about fixing the number one thing the crypto still needs to do is be crypto people are jumping ship over here Right like we haven't solved what Bitcoin is yet creating a true censorship censorship resistant peer-to-peer Tool or more or less as and Andreas Antonopoulos talks about its communication, right? I want to use Bitcoin with anybody in the world, and I don't want to pay high fees I don't want the fact that the only way to get it is through a centralized exchange I want to buy it from a peer-to-peer aspect like local bitcoins or ATMs I want to pay as cheap as possible to get it and I want companies to use it and that's why I'm quite Excited and bullish on lightning network like I want the real You know killer app is Bitcoin itself the actual fat active using a cryptocurrency not these like others other things are awesome But we still got to fix this major problem What's the one thing that differs me from the average person? I consider myself a little bit insane I don't know there's many different things and you have to define average. What's average to? Average people tend to follow people and never followed anybody in my life, right average people listen to the herd Average people listen to society average people will listen to the religion average people listen to their culture So basically they're getting programmed and just saying yes to everything and they were actually asked themselves their questions What do I want? What is my constitution in my life? What do I care about? You know what makes me happy in life as opposed to like yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. I'll follow in the footsteps Yes, I'll do exactly the same things that you did blah blah blah could be Burma Gregor. Oh, is that fight on? I haven't been paying attention if it is. Oh fuck can't wait to watch that What drives me in life? mmm It's interesting questions the ego question right a lot of people would be like Oh, I want to change the world, but why do you want to change the world most people want like name recognition? right What drives me? Seeing people happy You know first is you being happy. That's that's where it starts Right, you're not gonna love yourself who's gonna love you and Then seeing people happy right working on problems like complex problems that it's hard to solve You know as long as you're being challenged and you're as Joseph Campbell talks about living in your bliss or following your bliss No, everything is the irrelevant Okay, have I advised any ICOs? I Haven't advised any ICOs publicly or signed any papers yet publicly I've spoken with ICOs and I give them my recommendations of not using a token or my recommendations on how to change the token economics more or less, but That's not me advising them whatsoever. Just my feedback for them Like for me when it comes to advising I don't put my name on many things if I'm in I'm in I'm in as an advisor as investor as a partner And I'm there to help you not there to just lend my name towards you from S Chee when is the first time I took psychedelics? How old were you? I know 14 15 shrooms Then a LSD would be 17 something like that give or take From what can I say? What is the best career for young people? Question is not what is the best career the question is How can you develop a hunger to keep on learning? I think the best superpower going in the future and actually it's always been there is Metal learning having the curiosity to keep on learning and adapting and changing with your ecosystem, right? And not relying on degrees not relying on piece of paper to dictate the success of your future Right. So if you have the hunger to learn and if you have the hunger to work hard And if you have the hunger to take risks and actually listen to people as opposed When I mean listen like listen to your mentors per se is like you can get you can get far in life. I mean extremely far You know, I find it funny especially in North America and people say they have no jobs. There's jobs everywhere man fucking everywhere But to truth be told most people don't want to work hard or don't want to learn a new skill, right? the average person will You know stare at their phone a million seconds. They'll Spend hours and hours watching Netflix, right? Let's spend hours and hours just doing Random bullshit stuff. You know, when's the last time you picked up a book and learn something? When's the last time you took a workshop? When's the last time you sat down and learn something new? When's the last time you actually paid for some mentorship, right? What are you doing on a day-to-day basis to make you better? I have a saying You know a day is wasted it like you okay a day is wasted if you don't learn anything new like you You should always go to bed smarter than when you woke up Do I think the potentials of the SEC considering the area my security and what do I think? Oh, I Don't I doubt they're gonna say it's the securities tell you true That's just my personal opinion, but I could be wrong, but as it stands right now. I Really really don't see a statistically speaking them deeming Ethereum as a securities From Mike Shabal if I three books. Oh, man, I have this question a lot. There's so many books like I Always recommend Joseph Campbell when it comes to mythology spiritual spirituality and philosophy Joseph Campbell Alan Watts Arthur Schopenhauer Young like they're really really good when it comes to mindset and as of late Jordan Peterson Which he combines a lot of Campbell and young young in psychology in there Business wise Peter teal book is good Charlie Munger anything by Charlie Munger. So seeking wisdom Principles by Ray Dalio is a really good business book And then I'm a big on autobiographies, right? So autobiography of a yogi autobiography of Malcolm Luther King You know certain individuals around the world and understanding how they grew up and how they overcame their struggles and you know We evolve by storytelling So when you when you listen to these stories or we these stories of of people's lives You can take a really deep dive into the psyche of who they were and you get a lot of insight into yourself as well Crypto he's the thanks bro appreciate it From as she again, what do I think? Well? What do you think your life would have been like if you if you have never discovered psychedelics? I don't know could be different could be not it's it's hard to tell the truth. It's really hard to tell What's my favorite holiday destination? Oh, I don't know depending on where you're located. I Really like to loom in Mexico because it's Eastern time zone. It's four hours from Toronto Well, four and a half. It's about three hours 45 to Cancun or four hours and then about an hour So I'm gonna say five total because it then is an hour drive from Cancun to loom So it's about five hours, but it's quick easy whether it's beautiful. It's very Small villas boutique yoga organic food the beaches are remarkable and yeah, and he's close by that's like, you know, North America I've been to Havana a bunch of time Cuba is a wonderful place. Nothing like to loom Then you have Europe Europe's quite far. I like close destination especially for us in Canada Okay, all right guys gonna take one more question and I get a head out So or one or two more questions Thoughts in the crypto market being manipulated. There seems to be coordinated between the recent pumps and media all of a sudden And the market small it's manipulated through exchanges front-running OTCs Buy sell orders that are the same person buying it Also manipulated through sentiment so meaning people publishing certain articles whether that is for bullish Bullish sediment or whether that is for FUD So psychology really does trump all statistics or psychology always trumps facts because people are emotionally driven. They're not fact-driven See she I often hear Often hear about experts talking about economic crash. You see that coming Well based on Ray Dalio's macro micro economic model We're in for a new recession coming in what the recession would be I don't know and also we haven't recovered Well, at least the United States haven't recovered from 2008 real estate in a crash From Andrew bro Brow bro, sorry if I butchered your name.
