alexa play mami mira by mr capone-e, mr.criminal ,nate dogg

It’s around 9:30 p.m., almost ten on a Friday night. You all needed a break. It was decided by the captain to go out and dance. There you are getting ready, wearing a black y2k top, blue flare pants with rinestones that enhances your features and wearing your hair in a half-up, half-down style. Of course, your makeup looks amazing. shoes that were comfortable yet looking like a rare treasure.

You walked out of your quarters, exiting the hallway out of the girls' quarters, heading out on the main deck of the sunny. here you see your tall handsome blonde boyfriend ‘flying’ towards you “y/n chwan!!!!!!!!” you could hear the admiration in his voice as he’s admiring his beautiful meroline. “hi amor,” you smiled with a slight blush appearing on you complexion. he asked you to twirl before giving you a kiss on the cheek. there he just kept hyping you up and admiring how such of a ethereal being you are.

“you look so beautiful, as always.” he kisses the top of your head, holding your hands. y’all were visiting for a few moments until you heard a cough, from a certain red head. “ahem, I hope to not interrupt you love birds but we have a party to get to!” Nami walked out of the ship onto the dock, wearing a green backless cut out crisscross halter top and body con skirt. she wore some strapped heel pumps that had more of a grip rather than a normal heel.

“right sorry about that.” you laughed lightly walking out holding sanjis hand. “my darling…shall we ?” you nodded looking into his eyes as he loosened his tie just a teeny bit, walking with him “we shall.”

you wanna hang with big dogg and criminal, it’s in your eyes don’t give us love.

The club that luffy said y’all were supposed to be at was supposed to have big lights, and everything. you just hoped they had good music to dance to. you planned to not drink as much. mostly because the smell of alcohol is a bit overwhelming.

you saw the lights changed from different colors. Red to blue, blue to white. White to pink, pink to orange. it wasn’t at a fast speed, more at a slow pace. you felt relaxed, as your blonde boyfriend lightly traced circles on your skin. y’all were sitting down in a table where everyone in the crew placed their stuff.

The both of y’all had been a bit distant lately, due to the fact he’s been working a lot more, than fighting the marines out of nowhere. y’all haven’t spent anytime together recently. you just hoped you two will have a good time and for things to settle down.

“My love are you alright??” he whispered into your ear, when the music started getting a little bit loud. You shrugged. “Somewhat, im a bit thirsty.” You replied back to him with a slight blush kissing his lips, you were just a little tipsy. Not as tipsy as if you passed your limit. tipsy to the point where you still are aware of your surroundings. “I’ll go get you some water at the bar, let me know if you’re gonna be leaving the table.” He smiled and kissed your lips once more “I will I love you.” Just as you were about to say it. He left faster than the speed of light.

It's in your eyes you wanna give us some.

“Y/n! what are you doing sitting here all alone come dance with us! they’re gonna play our song.” you hear nami and robin walk towards you, as you were a bit slumped. “you barely get to have fun with us girls you know y/n chan.” Robin pat your head. you sighed as you got up from your seat. “Alright let me go find sanji and tell him.” You heard nami and robin whooop and cheer as they took a few more shots. you couldn’t help it THEYRE your best friends, your home girls.

They were so relived that you and sanji got together it was so adorable because they were like ‘PLEASE TAKE HIM! We’ve been suffering for so long!’ there you saw your boyfriend talking to another person, you suppose they were the bartender. “Sanji!” you yelled his name! he heard to the melodic voice of yours. His dark eyes saw you, gesturing to go with nami and robin and he mouthed “I love you! I’ll be there soon!” he blew a kiss at your direction as you rolled your eyes taking the kiss placing it to your chest.

Walking to the direction of nami and robin. there you robin and nami are dancing, you were just so content, relaxed. In all honesty you just missed him. He’s not dumb, he’s actually very observant.

he scanned to find you as he adjusted himself, there he saw you. He sees you moving your hips grinding on your best friends, shaking ass looking like a baddie as usual. He’s blushing madly than ever. That is until he feels something hard between his thighs. How he wants to take you in his arms. have you scratching his back, as he thrusts into you. it’s true he does miss you, he can’t help but blame himself for not spending enough of time with you. so there he goes in this thoughts.

That is until one particular person, tapped you on your shoulder. he had a dickies shirt on, some nice pants on, with a white tank top underneath and a chain on. he asked you if you wanted to dance with him, you were looking at your curly brow novio.

the male figure looked at your boyfriend, then at you. sanji looks at him, and groans in frustration now that he’s soft. he got out of his seat, taking out his cigarette putting it out on the ash tray on the table. walking behind you biting his bottom lip.

mami mira.

Sanji tapped behind your shoulder, hugging your waist stroking your hips up and down, glared at the male figure “thank you for keeping my lovely lady company, but her prince is here now.” he gave a deadly glare to the male, as he walked off. you sighed in relief looking at him, walking with him to the table, to sit down. you being the girl you are decided to sit on his lap.

you’re such a fine and such a sexy mamacita

“my hero.” you turned around as you wrapped your arms around his neck, kissing him while you’re sitting on his lap. as he pulls you close to him. “i haven’t been feeling like one..” he talks to you as he rubs his smooth, and structured hands behind your back, and hips to keep you from not falling.”

Been on my mind girl since the first time that I seen ya'

“por que? talk to me.” you smile at him, there you go again, you look at him with those beautiful eyes that have a hint of sparkle inside. he can’t help but to feel guilty for not protecting his princess. not even spending time with his princess. the maiden he wants to wake up from an eternal slumber. Your eyes was one of the first things he noticed

“I feel bad for not spending enough time with you, Mon amour.”

“Seeing that guy trying to make a move on you made me sick to my stomach.” He puffed out his cigarette, and looked back at you. “and i don’t even get sick.”

“I guess I just feel bad because. I’m so used to being around you all the time and I’m afraid you’ll leave me .” you sigh and kiss him lightly on his lips. letting go as y’all touch foreheads.

if you were my girl I would never ever leave ya, señorita

“Don’t feel bad, it happens sometimes life gets hectic and we have to do what we gotta do. I’m just happy i have you as my boyfriend/future husband/father of our kids, so what is there to lose. And who the fuck even said I’m ever leaving?” His eyes water at the fact that you’re being so understanding with him, no seriously protect this man at all cost. because he’s not used to having much compassion since his sister helped him. You wipe his tears, and kiss where they once where as a blush appears on his cheeks once more.

“I love you sanji .”

“I love you too y/n, I’m sorry ”

You hug him and press your lips against his with passion and admiration.he even deepened the kiss, knowing it’s happening, it’s reality. As he slightly moaned into your mouth.

something about you mami

“Don’t be sorry, remember we have a long time, and you’re not going anywhere because you’re mine .” as he fell to the side of the booth chair lying down laughing as he’s ticklish when you kiss him in certain places. You get off of him and grab his hand.

I'm feeling you girl can't you see that look in my eye?

“Come dance with me, the songs almost over!” He starts running with you as you’re shaking your ass on his crotch. mans is grabbing your waist. his eyes are heart shaped, and his nose is slightly bleeding. He’ll spin you a little bit to bring you closer to him, as he grabs your hands, sucks into your neck. “forgive me my dearest y/n i have to mark whats mine.” he continues, as he hears you let out a gasp parting your mouths

something about you mami

Sanji grabs the bottom to the top of one of your breasts as he begins to grind on your ass a little bit. The sensuality and the tension is rising in the depths of your bodies. he begins to let out a shaky breath as he starts to feel his cock slightly harden once again, almost feeling like a long balloon waiting to be popped. like a long rubber band. sanjis muscular yet slender hands are tracing under your skirt already slowly dry humping onto you, having a slow pace. “Let’s take this back home Mon amour.” He whispered huskily in your ear, as you nodded. walking back to the sunny, y’all went back into your bedroom, as he kept kissing you, mumbling praises.

“Your body looks so divine..” sanji had began to ‘throw’ you onto the bed with silk beige sheets, feeling it hugging your body, you’re looking up at sanji as he loosens his tie, rolling his sleeves. God the way your punani was already about to be soaking wet, it’s very high right now. Sanji had already taken your pants off. He smelt the scents of your pants,

“Already wet for me y/n-chan…you’re good for me..don’t worry I’ll wash these..I love these on you,” he speaks in a lower tone, as his breath is gazing at your undies, watching how soaked you are. he kissed those lips down there with the clothed cunt still wet, dripping. he starts by playfully licking the nub of your clit, as he slowly began to gently yank off your soaked panties, hoist your thighs and straddle them around his neck.

“sanji….f-fuck….” You started to mewl, and cover your mouth as he began to look up at you taking your hands and placing them on his scalp. “Grab. Me.. I want to hear you..” your breath was sl

“Awe is something wrong mami???”

'n-no sir.."

"good, wouldn't want you to feel pain now would we mon ange." sanji pushed you back again hoisting your thighs together with his muscular arms and lean build. licking your labia majora, as he moans into your soft plushy cunt, he begins to add one or two fingers to thrust inside, starting off slow when his member is slowly erecting again.

Hi everyone!! I'm looking for people to join my minecraft server! We have a fun and welcoming small community on discord (we have movie nights and play various games together, etc.), and will be launching our SECOND minecraft server soon as well

There are two servers:

The Argonaut SMP, 1.19.2 vanilla server

And the soon to open MODDED Argonaut SMP!! 1.18.2 Fabric server, using a custom modpack of about 80 mods, taking inspiration from Better Minecraft (and it's shader compatible!)

Looking for people who are new to the game, or not! Must be 18+, optimally we aim for 20+ as most of us are in our mid to late 20s. Extremely LGBT+ friendly, almost always active, and wanting to make new friends (we have quite a few DSMP and/or hermitcraft watchers as well if that's your thing!)

Send me a message for a link to the discord server! It will have all the required info for the mc server

[miioouu]

Headcanons (for Deku, Bakugou and Kirishima) where theyre pretty close to their crush who started noticeably hiding a secret, suddenly hanging out with someone else. Turns out they wanted to learn a new skill to impress them. Something small but doable (like learning the ukulele or some other thing)

We want to impress the bois👏👏 Thank you for requesting!! ❤️💜❤️

Midoriya Izuku 💚

- You two were close friends since the beginning of the year.

- You were best friends, never hiding anything from the other, even your most embarrassing stories!

- But lately, you began to feel something for the green haired boy.

- Your heart seemed to beat faster around him, you'd often get jealous, something you never felt before for him, whenever he'd pay more attention to someone else other than you.

- Secretly, he was feeling the same, but he thought he'd never get a chance with you, so he buried his feelings deep inside, ignoring them.

- But you weren't like him, you wanted to impress him.

- Knowing him for as long as you had, you realized Deku's amazing drawing skills! So you decided, that maybe if you got better at this creative hobby, it would earn his attention.

- So now you started hanging out with one of you artist friends from the Support Department, thus making deku feel a bit left out.

- And everytime he'd ask you about it, you just ignore him changing the subject, or straight out lie.

- Even though he was pretty hurt that you were keeping something from him, he never pushed you to tell him, knowing it was something you wanted to keep private and he respected that.

- One day, after having ignoring him a whole week, you ran up to him, giving him a hug.

- He was surprised, what has gotten into you y/n? One day you never talk to him, the other you show him so much attentin.

-"Dekuuu, I know I've been treating you badly lately, but it's for a good reason! I swear!"

- You'd reach into you backpack, pulling out a piece of paper. After asking him multiple times if he was prepared to see what you've been so busy doing and teasing him about it, you finally gave him the paper.

- Smile stretching on his face, eyes lit up and red cheeks, hw couldn't believe what was before him. It was a magnificent painting of the both you.

- After you've explained to him that you've been working on it with the help of your friend, everything clicked, why you were always so tired, why you'd ignored him so often.

-"I just wanted to impress you Deku!"

-And you did, he now has the painting framed in his bedroom, always looking at it when he felt down. One day, soon, his bedroom would be filled with pictures and paintings from you. But first he needs to confess.

Bakugou Katsuki 🧡

-Were you two friends? No? Best friends? Meh, that's closer. You two were best friends for ever and ever and ever and....

-Well that's what you told people. It wasn't a lie, but maybe you were exaggerating a bit.

- And maybe, everytime you'd mention it, it would truly pull at our angry boy's heart.

- Was he being friendzoned? Why does he care anyway, you were just a random person, nothing special about you.

- Well, except your smile, your laugh, your eyes, your sweet voice....

-Fine ok, you are special and he is in love with you! But he will never, ever admit it.

-But you didn't know that, and you really didn't know that Bakugou was that simple of a man.

-Thinking you needed to impress him to catch his heart, you always spent days daydreaming about how you'll do it.

- Finally in class, while everyone was talking about some concert or something. It hit you!

-Bakugo was really into music. Everyday he'd come to class with his earphones on, and when he's in a good mood he'd quietly hum his favorite song. (ok but emo music was so junior high bakugo, now he's into jazz, disco, electro type of music I will NOT accept any criticism thank you)

-So maybe a way to get his attention, was to impress him with something he is passionate about, music!

- So why not ask Pikapika to help you learn the guitar? Nothing bad can happen, right?

-Oh but were you so wrong, so so wrong.

-Learning a new instrument took way too much of your time, and wanting to be decent at it, you'd practice extra time, which meant spending more time with Kaminari.

-Now you saw nothing wrong with that, enjoying his company, and the way he hypes you up to make the explosive boy head over heels for you.

-But Bakugou did. What are you always doing with Denki? And why aren't you telling him? Were you keeping secrets from him? HOW DARE YOU?

-Well he let it slide, but not without shading you every once in a while. But he had enough of your little secret when he saw you walking out of Kaminari's room late one night.

-He wanted to kill him, murder him with his own two hands. And you? Why didn't you tell him damn it?!

- He returned to his room for he wanted to be alone with his thoughts after being betrayed by his owns friends.

-But he didn't get the chance as you came barging into his bedroom.

-"Katsukiiiii wanna hear what i learned on the guitar? Of course you do silly why am i even asking?!"

- You didn't even give him time to yell at you for coming to his room that late, to kick you out and tell you to go back to your secret boyfriend, as you excitedly began playing his favorite song.

-It wasn't perfect, but he couldn't help but find it so cute when your brows frowned in concentration, and thr way your little tongue sticked out on a particularly hard note.

- As you finnished, you looked up to him, trying to detect a reaction from him. As much as he wanted to praise you, he couldn't get pass the fact that there's something between you and Kaminari.

- When you asked him about it, and he shouted at you that he couldn't believe that you kept your relationship a secret from him, you put the guitar down, and explained to him that no, you're not in a relationship with electric boy, and you were just learning guitar from him so you can catch his attention, he never felt so stupid.

-"You don't need to learn any new skill to make me fall for you y/n. I already have..."

Kirishima Eijiro ❤️

- Kirishima was everyone's friends, but it took someone special to be his best friend.

- And luckly for you, you had that unique something that made you, not only his best friend, but the redhead slowly starting to develop feelings for you.

-He found you perfect, but he was still too insecure to actually tell you that.

- On the other hand, you were also head over heels for the boy, but how could you not?

- His angelic laugh, his sweet smile and his soft eyes everytime you looked at each didn't help with trying to get rid of those feelings.

- After the realization of being in love with your best friend finally came slow and clear, you decided to act up on your crush.

- You had no idea how Kirishima felt about you, you were just his friend nothing more.

- But you wanted to impress him, maybe he'll start seeing you in diffrent way.

- What's something that could impress him though?

- Manly stuff, manly stuff, manly stuff... What does even mean Kiri?!

-How were you to catch his attention if you didn't know "manly" activities.

- It was untill the both of you were training that you figured it out! He'd be so so shocked if he see you wight lifting.

- But ugh what a paiiin, it was really difficult and you don't think you're able to do that without someone yelling your head off to keep going.

- Oh well that's easy to find, smirking, you approached Bakugo whonwas looking at you suspiciously.

- You explained to him how important it is for him to help you, and you may or may not have accused him and blamed him "you don't want to see me happy? You want me to die alone I knew it!"

- Oh my god you're so dramatic, he had enough with your cries so he finally gave in and accepted to help you.

- But with that, it meant spending less time with Ei, which confused him.

-Are you mad at him? Did you decide that he wasn't good enough to be your friend? Have you realized how much of a loser he is and his friend is much better?

- You did see how down Kirishima looked lately, thus deciding to train harder and finally show him your impressive new skill.

- But it actually made things worse, he's been seeing you with Katsuki almost everyday, ditching him to go to the gym with the blond instead him.... Are you... Are you in love with Bakugou?

-How did that happen? And why was Katsuki betraying him? Should he let it slide or have a talk with you?

- The day he decided to face you, you planed to show him, insisting that he'd come to the gym with you.

-"Look what Baku has been teaching me!"

- You'd pick up one of the heaviest weight, eyes never leaving his form to see his reaction.

-To say he was impressed was ana understatement.

-"So that's what you were doing with Katsuki? I thought.... I thought you were ditching me for him..."

-His words stung, is this what you made him feel like? Is this why he was so sad recently?

- After reassuring him, that you would never, ever ditch him for anyone and that you were doing all of this to surprise him and maybe see you as more than a friend. He couldn't believe his ears, running up to you giving you the biggest hug.

-"y/n you know how much i like you! You didn't have to try!"

10.5 - Wait for Me

Idolish Seven - Part 3, Chapter 10.5 For more Part 3 translations, click here!

Translation below the cut!

Tsukumo Ryou: Soon, it shall be complete. Midou Torao: What are you talking about? Tsukumo Ryou: Oh, fear not-- I’m referring to TRIGGER, not ŹOOĻ. Tsukumo Ryou: TRIGGER pulled out of SoundShip at the last minute. The first time is fine-- unexpected circumstances happen all the time. However, once happens a second time, they'll be seen as incompetent and impertinent. Tsukumo Ryou: There’s a shining chance for TRIGGER to repair their image-- neither Re:vale nor IDOLiSH7 will be appearing at the Tokyo International Festival of Music and Arts, a high-brow and formal affair. (1) Tsukumo Ryou: TRIGGER lose their place at that event-- I’ll make sure of it. Natsume Minami: And how will you accomplish this? I'm certain they are also aware that this is a chance for them to recover from their current predicament. Tsukumo Ryou: You see, before I became the president of an entertainment agency, I used to dabble in trading alongside some rather dangerous fellows. I can use those connections.... Tsukumo Ryou: ...To abduct TRIGGER. Inumaru Touma: ...Hey. I ain't getting involved in anything criminal. Tsukumo Ryou: Ahaha! Oh, we won't be involved at all. TRIGGER are very famous stars-- it'll be the work of a couple stalkers, so to speak. Isumi Haruka: Hmph. Isumi Haruka: ...I don't care. If that's what it'll take to see that brat and his father in tears, then go ahead. Isumi Haruka: I want him to reject everything he's ever worked for and despair. Tsukumo Ryou: Alrighty then! Who wants to call TRIGGER? Midou Torao: Do you have all of their numbers? I only have Ryuunosuke's. Tsukumo Ryou: About that. My friend Momo is a simple person, you see. He set his birthday as the passcode to his phone-- 1111. And so, I extracted all of their numbers. Inumaru Touma: Oh shit, I should change my passcode.... Natsume Minami: You better. We live in an era where entertainment agency presidents casually glean personal information from their friends' phones, after all. Midou Torao: It’s better to change them periodically. Girls love to sneak glances at my phone screen. Isumi Haruka: Won't you forget your code if you change it? ...Well, I guess this should work. Inumaru Touma: What'd you change yours to? Isumi Haruka: My year in high school, followed by my class number and seat number. Inumaru Touma: Ah. Sure is nice to be a student. Midou Torao: Seriously, though. Using your birthday as your passcode when you're a celebrity? When literally everybody knows what's written on your profile? That's stupid. Natsume Minami: You know, Inumaru-san was also using his birthday to unlock his phone until very recently. Inumaru Touma: I'ma make my password super complicated!! Tsukumo Ryou: Now, now, children. Stop playing with your phones, and listen to me. Midou Torao: Hey, Ryou-san. Got RabbitChat? I’ve got some funny stamps I could send you. Tsukumo Ryou: Oh? What are they like? Natsume Minami: We should all add each other. Do you know how to do it, Isumi-san? Isumi Haruka: ...I don't. Do it for me. Natsume Minami: So you shake your phone like this.... Here, everyone should try it. Inumaru Touma: Wait! I'm still changing my passcode so I'm not there yet!!

*phone rings* Kujou Ten: ...Who is it? It's from an unknown number.... Isumi Haruka: It's me. Do you want everyone to stop attacking TRIGGER? I can make it happen. Kujou Ten: ....... Isumi Haruka: I'll give you the conditions. If you agree, then I’ll consider it. Can you meet me outside right now? Alone, of course. Kujou Ten: .....Alright. I'll get ready.

*phone rings* Yaotome Gaku: ...Hello? Who the hell are you? Inumaru Touma: Woah, it's Yaotome Gaku's voice.... I can't wimp out right now.... Yaotome Gaku: ......? Inumaru Touma: You wanna save your dad and TRIGGER, right? Yaotome Gaku: You.... Inumaru Touma: If that's the case, then come outside right now. Alone. If you agree to the conditions, I might consider it. Inumaru Touma: And you better keep this a secret. Got it? Yaotome Gaku: I won't tell a soul. ...Where should I meet you?

*phone rings* Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Hello? Torao-kun, is that you? Midou Torao: Hey. It's been a while, yeah? Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I've reached out to you several times about Hanamaki-san.... Also, I didn't know you were going to debut-- Midou Torao: Shh. All of this is part of a deal, and a secret one at that. You're my friend, after all. Midou Torao: There's a way to stop everyone from attacking TRIGGER. It might be a little risky, but do you wanna know what it is? Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Of course I do. Midou Torao: I knew you'd say that. I need you to meet me right now, and make sure no one knows where you're going. The place is....

Takanashi Tsumugi: I'm glad everyone was able to take today off! Izumi Mitsuki: We gotta cheer TRIGGER on! I even made a fan for them! Are we allowed to have these at the Music and Arts fes? (1) Osaka Sougo: I've brought a light stick for everyone too! Nikaidou Yamato: Woah, look at that! There's a car all decked out, with TRIGGER's logo painted on it! It's.... (2) *car rumbles* Nikaidou Yamato: ...Stopping right in front of us. Okazaki Rinto: Hello! I see like everyone's matching! Yotsuba Tamaki: What’s this car, Okarin? Okazaki Rinto: It's the Revale Stylish Wagon. The manufacturers were kind enough to gift it to us. Nanase Riku: And you made it into a TRIGGER car!? Yuki: We did. Momo: 'Cuz we're celebrities! (3) Rokuya Nagi: Oh, amazing! How wonderful! This makes want to get a Kokona car! Osaka Sougo: I'm so ashamed.... I can't believe I was satisfied with mere light sticks.... Izumi Mitsuki: I feel ya.... I was so hyped up about my fan.... Izumi Iori: I'm certain the car manufacturers would be very surprised to hear that a model they expressly named after Re:vale was repurposed into a TRIGGER car instead. Momo: Let's all cheer for TRIGGER today! They haven't replied to me yet, but if they're free afterwards, we should grab food together! Nanase Riku: I'd love to go! I invited them out this morning as well, but they haven't read my messages yet. Osaka Sougo: I bet they're putting their all into rehearsals! *phone rings* Momo: Oh, Kaoru-chan's calling me! ....... ...What? Momo: Hey, does anyone know where TRIGGER are right now? Izumi Mitsuki: Where? ...You mean they aren't in the arena yet? Momo: Apparently she hasn't been able to contact them all day and has been trying since this morning.... Nanase Riku: What!?

Takanashi Tsumugi: Anesagi-san, is everything alright? I heard you haven't been able to contact any of the members.... Anesagi Kaoru: None of my calls are going through, and no one I've contacted has found them. Everyone at the agency is looking for them right now, but.... Okazaki Rinto: It's strange that all three of them disappeared. Have you contacted the police yet? Anesagi Kaoru: Mhmm. And they gave me lovely advice. Apparently they won't budge until 12 hours have passed since the last recorded contact. Anesagi Kaoru: It must be that Tsukumo man! He's trying to get in our way and wants to stop TRIGGER from performing on stage! If anything has happened to those boys, I.... Nanase Riku: I'll go look for them at Tsukumo Productions! Izumi Iori: Please wait! If you fixate on that tidbit and just march into their agency, it'll only cause more problems! Nikaidou Yamato: They ain’t stupid either. There's no way they'd do that-- it’s way too obvious. Nanase Riku: But! Momo: I understand your concerns, but we gotta leave this to Yaotome Productions. I don't wanna be in the way, so I think we should give them some space. Momo: Okarin, Maneko-chan-- You guys should stay with Kaoru-chan. Takanashi Tsumugi: I agree. Anesagi-san.... Okazaki Rinto: I'm sure everything will be alright....

Izumi Iori: If they can't perform tonight, then it'll dredge up the SoundShip incident from last year and only further the bashing.... Nanase Riku: This is bullying!! Everyone just keeps hating on TRIGGER, and only them! …...What if Ten-nii got kidnapped!? Osaka Sougo: The event will be over by the time the police start moving.... Even reporting the incident is a bit of a sticky situation in and of itself.... Momo: Don't worry guys, I'll talk to President Tsukumo. I'm gonna make sure he pays me back for everything he owes me, and then some! Yuki: I'll come with you. Momo: You can't! Yuki: Why not? Momo: You know how I run really fast? And you're really slow? Well, if he starts running away and I run after him at full power, you'll be left in the dust. Yuki: I guess you're right. Momo: And because I love you so much, Yuki, I'll have to stop chasing after him and run back to you.... Yuki: Momo... Izumi Mitsuki: I don't really wanna say this to you guys since you're our senpai, but.... Now is not the time for that!! Momo: Anyhow! Yuki, you stay put and keep watch! All of you are good kids, so you better hold the fort down! Got it? Nikaidou Yamato: Let us come with you. We can leave the minors behind.... Momo: You can't! That man is utter poison! I don't want him to pollute my darling IDOLiSH7!! Osaka Sougo: Since when did we become yours, Momo-san..... Nanase Riku: Is President Tsukumo really that scary? What if something terrible has happened to TRIGGER!? Momo: He's not the type to engage in violence. Not directly, that’s for sure. He's a very smart man, but his personality is godawful. Rokuya Nagi: And why in the world are you close to a man like that? Momo: He helped me out when I was stuck in a rut, so I thought he was a good person. Back when we were poor, he gave us really tasty organic vegetables, among some other things.... Izumi Iori: So not only did something similar happen with Chiba-san, it happened with him as well? Re:vale gets baited with food much too easily and way too often…. Izumi Mitsuki: In times like this, we should all charge in! It won't be so dangerous since it'll be all of us! Izumi Iori: We can't do that, Nii-san...! Izumi Mitsuki: Hey. If it comes down to it, can any of you fight? Izumi Iori: Like I said, we can't do that!! Nanase Riku: I can fight! Izumi Mitsuki: No, you can't, Riku. Ossan, you’re up. Nanase Riku: Yes, I can! Nikaidou Yamato: Hold up! This onii-san here can't fight!! Izumi Iori: The mere idea of idols engaging in fist fights is outrageous! Nii-san, this is too dangerous-- Izumi Mitsuki: I said, if it comes down to it! We won't initiate. What about you, Tamaki? Can you fight? Yotsuba Tamaki: So. You know how I'm really tall? Usually if I glare at ‘em like this-- the other dude looks away super fast. Like whoosh. Yeah. Yotsuba Tamaki: But some dudes don't look away, and they're really good at fighting. Whenever that happens, I just go whoosh.... And look away. Izumi Mitsuki: So are ya good or not!? Nikaidou Yamato: I'd say we cast him as an extra. Osaka Sougo: Tamaki-kun is a minor, so if you must insist, I will go. Nikaidou Yamato: Oh yeah, didn't you do kendo? What was your best move? Osaka Sougo: Stabbing my opponent in the throat. (4) Nikaidou Yamato: Mm, executing that move on someone who doesn’t have any protective gear isn’t exactly ideal, but.... Sou, I'm casting you as our ace-- you’re our secret weapon. (5) Osaka Sougo: Understood. Izumi Mitsuki: Nagi? Rokuya Nagi: Fighting? No problem. However, I forgot my Magical Stick, so I won't be able to unleash my true power. Yotsuba Tamaki: I remember you protected that one tower from a terrorist attack though, Nagicchi! Way back when we went to that TRIGGER concert. Izumi Mitsuki: I’ve said this before, but that joke isn't funny so stop saying it! Yotsuba Tamaki: But it's true!! Nikaidou Yamato: What about you, Yuki-san? Can you fight? Yuki: I may look like this, but I'm actually a black belt. Nikaidou Yamato: ...You're kidding, right? Yuki: Yep. Nikaidou Yamato: ...I'll cast Yuki-san, our local indoors person, as Riku's childhood friend. Together, they'll cheer us on from this bench! Nanase Riku・Yuki: Hip hip, hooray! Izumi Iori: You cannot do this! I will not allow it! Momo: Yeah! If anything happens to you kids, I'll never be able to face Ban-san ever again!! Momo: Oh, man.... I don't think I could live if Ban-san hated me.... Izumi Mitsuki: It'll be okay! We're just gonna look for TRIGGER the normal way! Izumi Mitsuki: But in the off chance that we bump into trouble and there's no way around it, there are a couple ground rules I'd like us all to follow since we're idols! Momo: Rules? Izumi Mitsuki: Rule number one! Even if they try to pick a fight.... Yotsuba Tamaki: No hitting until they’ve thrown the first punch! Izumi Mitsuki: Rule number two! If a civilian sees you.... Nikaidou Yamato: We're filming. Izumi Mitsuki: Rule number three! What do you do with your face? Rokuya Nagi: Protect it with your life. Izumi Mitsuki: We should be okay if we follow those rules! We don't want TRIGGER to have any more trouble, right guys? Izumi Mitsuki: Also, the media might cook something weird up again if someone from Yaotome Productions goes. So, let's give it a shot! Izumi Iori: sigh ...... No roughhousing, okay? Izumi Mitsuki: Gotcha! Don't you worry, Iori! Izumi Iori: ....... I'm filled with nothing but worry.... Momo: Oh God, I hope we don't bump into any trouble.... Ban-san will murder me.... Nanase Riku: Wait for me, Ten-nii. I'll definitely save you!

To be continued....

TL Notes/comments:

Thank you Bicky (@denego_ on twitter) for betaing!!!

(1) uchiwa are these little round paper fans that people bring to concerts that have messages on them (for the artist) or a picture of said artist's face. (2) ita-sha is like the car equivalent of an ita-bag... think of those cars u see at cons with a massive hatsune miku painted all ovr it ALSO, Revale Stylish Wagon is stylized like that because the original is written as リヴァーレ, which is the romanization of Re:vale’s name in katakana and I am an uncreative fuck so I had no clue what to eigo it (3) i switched the orders of the lines bc english/jpn syntactical flow (4) IM NO KENDO MASTER BUT THE "TSUKI" IS A THRUST AT THE THROAT, SEE ATTACHED VIDEO FOR A DEMONSTRATION-- SOUCHAN IS NOT HERE TO FUCK AROUND  (5) these moves are !!! not to be done on people without the proper protective equipment. In kendo you have a mask, and a lot of other things protecting you from bodily injury, and uh, death, amongst other things hence why that move is okay in the context of kendo and why yamato says this

As usual, if you see any mistakes/mistranslations/etc, please message me!

Thank you for reading!!

hey! your blog is great, was wondering if i could get some advice? I'm a trans dude, pretty unfit and like edging towards overweight. I've been going to the gym more recently (!!) which is great, but I've found that it can make me feel worse because it's drawing a lot of body image issues I've been suppressing to the surface. any thoughts on how to deal with that without spiralling into something like an eating disorder?

Hope this response isn’t too late, dude. Things have been busy af. Hurricane prep on top of classes and homework for college is a pain. Anyway, onto answering your question! I’ve written about it before a little bit here and a nice anon added some good stuff here.

Body image issues and dysphoria are really tough to deal with, especially when every other guy at the gym looks like a dang brick house and can casually bench 220. The best way I have found to combat this is to go to the gym with a friend. This way, you and your friend are focused on doing your own thing together. Do your workouts together, give each other pointers you learn from videos you watch about exercises – basically, get invested and be each others’ coach. If your friend you go with is at a similar fitness level to yourself, that makes it better, because then you can celebrate your small and big successes and changes at around the same time. When I used to go to the gym with my pal Alejandro, he and I were always doing the same weight for bench, and it was really cool to challenge each other to go up in weight and motivate each other. This made me focus less on the dysphoria and more on just being a good workout buddy to my friend. My current workout pal Nikole is Great and I love going to the gym with her. We’re both just super hype for our gains. So make a big deal out of your small achievements! It really helps!

If you can’t find a friend to go with you, or you don’t always go work out with a friend, listening to music can help distract you. Make a workout playlist or two, or just find some mixes, playlists, and albums you like and save them for the gym. Music helps you feel different stuff and can help up your mood when you feel yourself getting down. Crank up the volume and keep working hard!

Find fitness inspirations! Find trans guys on the web who’ve worked their asses off to get strong. Find trans guys who share advice for goals similar to your own, because they’ve been down that path before and have valuable stuff to share. There are a lot of them on youtube. My fav fitspo trans guy on youtube right now is Nathan Ostrum. Aydian Dowling is also on youtube – he’s the trans guy who was trying to get into the Men’s Health magazine! He’s a certified physical trainer now and puts a lot of fitness related content on his youtube channel ALionsFears. Seeing where these guys are now and knowing where they were before can help you feel like your goals are attainable and realistic.

There will still be bad days, though. Nothing will be a perfect fix for issues like this. You’ll still feel insecure and dysphoric sometimes. Try not to let that get you too down. I’ve never suffered from an eating disorder, so I can’t really talk about that and what that’s like or how to deal with it, because I feel like that wouldn’t be honest from me. But I definitely know what it feels like to just be at the gym and noticing all the cis guys around you and feeling like shit for not being able to do as many reps with the same weight – or even to handle that weight at all for one rep. I felt small and jealous and angry. I still feel this way. But remind yourself that you’re doing this for you. Every day you work towards your goal is a day well spent. No day is wasted if you’re working towards your goal, whether it be challenging yourself to make a faster time with your cardio jog, going up just 5 pounds for your squats, or resting after a rough day at the gym that kicked your ass – you’re getting somewhere: moving closer to slowly becoming the man you want to be. And it is a slow process. Change doesn’t happen all at once. You won’t lose weight or get huge gains overnight. It takes a long time. Bodybuilders and athletes who look the way they do have been at their sport for years, but they had to start somewhere. Everyone does. Nobody’s going to be amazing right off the bat at anything, and everyone has to work hard for a long time to get to their ideal place – and even then, that will evolve overtime. But my point is, don’t let dysphoria keep you from doing things for you. It’s really tough to get out of your room and hit the gym sometimes. Heck, it’s tough to even wanna change into your gym clothes when you’re having a really shitty day. But this is for you – this is to get where you want. Nothing is going to be easy, and there’s no shortcuts. You’ll feel like you have to work twice or three times as hard as any cis man to get the same results – and in some ways, that is true. But that does not mean it’s impossible. Stay dedicated, and if anything, go to the gym to fuck dysphoria. Let spite and frustration fuel you and work extra hard just to give a good “fuck you” to all the jealousy and insecurity. It’s better than laying in bed and doing nothing.

But even then, some days you will end up just laying in bed and doing nothing and letting the negativity get to you. Don’t feel bad. Don’t beat yourself up. Everyone slips back, everyone has rough days where they don’t do as well as they want to, everyone has something that just sets them back. It’s not your fault. Sometimes, you’ll mean to get back to the gym and you’ll keep telling yourself, “Today, I’ll go,” but something comes up and it takes you weeks, months, a year, for “today” to finally happen. But do not let yourself be eaten up by negativity. It’s way easier said than done. Take care of yourself, go at your own pace, take your time, and make sure whatever you’re doing will be healthy and good for your body. Don’t push too hard, don’t strain yourself, don’t take on too much at once. It may not feel like it, but you have time to get to where you want.

I hope this helps! Feel free to send me more asks if you still wanna discuss this, or even message me if you’d like. I’ll get to you as quickly as I can, dude.

another crazy ass super late update w waaaay too much info

Hey y’alll... I’m kinda back? Sorry again for never being on this account. I want to be on it more but I get so consumed with my life and then I forget... not an excuse but an explanation. 

TW for all the usuals (drugs, etc) plus fun high school bs cropping up 2 1/2 years later :)

So last time I updated I was excited about going back to school and was feeling really lost and alone, as well as hopeless about my romantic life and my really intense cravings to smoke weed. A lot has changed since then... lol

My school decided to only do online schooling, understandably, but it sent me into a horrible spiral when they announced that. The idea that I’d be stuck at home for another 5 months... I just couldn’t take it. There’s a reason I went to boarding school after treatment. My parents fucking suck!!!! So I was venting to one of my best friends (C) who lives in another country even though she goes to school in the US (we met in treatment) and she invited me to come stay with her and her family in that country for a few months just so I could get away from my family... and now I’m there! I have dual citizenship with that country and the US because one of my parents is originally from there, so she applied for me to get dual citizenship when I was born, and I still have family here. Anyways, I’m now starting week 2 of my quarantine (which ends on Sunday (sep 20th) but I’m so happy to be here. I needed to get away and COVID just isn’t as bad here and I feel less depressed and like life maybe isn’t that hopeless, which is exciting!!!

I have smoked a bit more recently but I’m trying to lessen it or make sure I’m only doing it when I’m interacting with friends (either in person or via facetime). 

So, since I got to this country, there’s been a couple slightly interesting things occurring, relationship-wise. C is dating this guy and has been for the last 2 months and I guess he has a friend (J) who’s single and got really hyped when he found out C had a friend coming into town. C told him if he wanted to even attempt to be with me in anyway whatsoever he had to be my friend first and take things hella slow, but apparently he’s kinda a himbo so who knows if he’ll heed that warning. He added me on snap and told me he’s gonna take me out to a meal and later C told me he was bragging to her bf about how impressive it is that he said that (I think he’s kinda a fuckboy but C said her bf was initially too). Idk how I feel about any of this. I’m trying to not pass any judgment until I meet him a few times. 

A few nights ago, I got a snapchat message from this dude (JB) I knew from junior/senior year of high school (after treatment). Now, when we were in high school we were best friends. I had a small group (A, M, JB, and myself) and we all hung out all the time and were super close. A and JB dated junior year and then almost dated again senior year but she kinda ghosted him last minute and started dating someone else. JB also dated two other girls our senior year (this info is all relevant I promise). JB and I were kinda like brother/sister- we got along really well and had similar sense of humor but there wasn’t any attraction between the 2 of us. He liked skinny, kinda crazy (in the whole “omg I’m so fucked up pay attention to me” obnoxious way where they aren’t actually mentally ill, just annoying) girls and I was overweight and even though I’m legitimately mentally ill, I’m stable and high-functioning, and also... he’s short (well the same height as me but I’m tall) and skinny and just not my type... but anyways there was no attraction there. After high school, we all kinda stopped talking. M was a freshman while we were all seniors (I stayed in contact with him and still consider him to be like a little brother- I love him sm he’s my lil baby), but I haven’t talked to JB or A much since. We all went off to college and started new lives... JB and I talked a bit over that summer between senior year of high school and freshman year of college and he did call me a few times throughout freshman year (holy fuck that’s when I started this acc......) but whenever he’d call he’d only talk about himself. He’d talk about how he was drinking too much and smoking too much and he’d say kinda racist shit about his girlfriend at the time’s exes (since they were black... I guess that reflected poorly on her in his mind... fucked up mindset in my opinion) and he’d never ask me about myself. I was in overwhelming, immense pain constantly because of my ankle... I was high all the time and drinking regularly too, while hiding it from everyone, including my therapist. I was in a dark place and there he was calling me to talk about himself for really long periods of time. 

Anyways, I started avoiding his calls after awhile and then he stopped calling. He doesn’t know I had my ankle surgery. He doesn’t know I took a semester off of college to recover. He doesn’t know I met my genetic mom. He doesn’t know I’m struggling with some issues still. Then, in December 2019, the day after my mom had a heart attack, he started frantically messaging me on snapchat, begging me to talk. I told him that I couldn’t, that my mom was in the hospital and I was overwhelmed, that I had a ton of dr appointments and meetings and needed to make sure my mom was okay, but he wouldn’t lay off. I guess I felt some sort of loyalty towards him since we used to be so close, so I said “okay, you can call me anytime in the next 30 minutes, but that’s it” and he responded immediately, saying “I’ll call you in 5 minutes”. He never fucking called. After that, I decided I was done. He’s no longer my friend. And we hadn’t spoken since until a couple weeks ago where he messaged me and told me he missed me and I responded with a “yeah it’s been awhile” and then left him on read after he responded back with some other bs. 

Then this past weekend, he messages me out of nowhere talking about how he misses me and again, I say “yeah, it’s been awhile”. He says that there’s been something he’s wanted to tell me for a long time and he wishes he would’ve said something when we were in high school. I asked what the fuck he was talking about and he was like “I wish we could’ve dated. You were always so nice to me and we got along really well. I thought you were beautiful, caring, funny, and sweet. We had the sense sense of humor and enjoyed doing the same stuff. I liked you a lot and wish we could have dated.”... I was like.. “Uhhh... what made you realize this?” and he said “Idk I just realized it now” and I was like “yeah I’m just a little shocked because it never seemed like there was any type of relationship vibes there” and he was like “really?” and I was like “dude... you literally dated 2 girls and almost dated a 3rd...” and he was like “I feel like I knew I liked you then” so at that point I facetimed my friend M and was like “did JB like me in high school” and he was like “nah he liked A and those 2 other girls” and I was like “yeah, he’s saying some bs and I just need confirmation that I didn’t miss any signs” and he was like “yeah you guys were just really good friends” so I messaged JB back and was like “so what motivated you to tell me this” and he said “I don’t know I just felt like I should tell you” and I was like “well where do we go through here”... now, I said this knowing he’d say he wanted to date. I didn’t want to date him but I did want to let him down easily. M had told me while we were facetiming that JB had dropped out of college and gone to rehab so he was obviously struggling. I think he’s just super lonely during quarantine and he’s reflecting on high school (when he last felt happy) and is creating something that wasn’t there in hopes that it’d be reciprocated and he’d feel less lonely. He and A both had relationship/intimacy issues and were both really hyperfocused on always being in a relationship, so I’m not surprised he’s still like that. I am surprised it’s gotten to a point where it’s delusional... 

Anyways, he responded saying “where do you wanna go?” and I said “I asked you first” and he said “I want you wbu” and I said “I don’t know dude... I’m a super different person than I was 2 1/2 years ago and I’m sure you are too and I’m just not sure if we’d be compatible now that all this time has passed... also I live in a diff country now so we’d never actually see each other.” I know saying I live in a diff country now is kinda lying because it makes it seem like I moved permanently but I think it was necessary to get my message across so I don’t feel bad. He responded and he was like “yeah I guess that’s true” and I said “yeahhhhh” and he was like “I really want to be with you” and I said “I guess timing is everything” and he said “yeah I guess :(” and then I left him on read and that was the end of that conversation. I feel like a really good person for letting him down as nicely as I did because I felt like saying “nah I’m not fucking into you” especially since he’s been such an awful and selfish friend since we left high school, but I decided to be the bigger person because I know he’s struggling right now. And I feel sad that he’s reached a point in his life where he’s creating something that never existed because he’s so lost and alone and confused. I wish I could be there for him but I just can’t... 

My therapist says I can be too loyal to people sometimes. Even when people hurt me, I’m still there and I feel like I owe it to them to stick around and support them. I pretend like I’ll drop anyone that hurts me, but it’s obvious I’m loyal since I’m still willing to treat this dude with more kindness in this one interaction than he’s given me in 2 1/2 years. I want to be a kind person but I don’t want to be loyal to a fault... I think it’s harmful and self destructive. I need to work on it. 

Anyways, last night when I got out of the shower I had a towel wrapped around me and felt something weird and looked down and a giant spider was crawling around on my tiddy... I screamed so loud I’m surprised the family I’m staying with didn’t come running into the guesthouse from the main house to make sure I’m okay lol. I killed it with my textbook, which is now sitting in the corner of the room because I’m not in the right mental space to clean spider guts off a textbook after that whole ordeal. 

C’est la vie...

Lockdown Pastimes; Novavax Big Time; Travel Stocks Climb

Lockdown Pastimes; Novavax Big Time; Travel Stocks Climb:

Stir-Crazy Investors

We’re all itching to get out and participate in the U.S. economy’s “Great Reopening.” If reports from the Memorial Day holiday weekend are any indication, some of us are a lot more eager than others … I’m looking at you Lake of the Ozarks partygoers.

As the country reopens, now is an excellent time to reflect on some of our biggest lockdown pastimes — one of which could have a major impact on your investing future.

First up, we have comfort spending.

Shopping is by far America’s most popular pastime, and the COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. It’s good to note that silly little things like travel restrictions and social distancing haven’t slowed down America’s appetite for consumption.

“Surprisingly, Americans are spending more money during this time of social distancing than prior to it,” says WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez. In fact, Gonzalez notes: “Forty-three percent of Americans are participating in what is called comfort buying.”

For investors, that means profitable returns for companies such as Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP).

Next up, we have online entertainment. I mean, what else are you gonna do after spending all your money while not going anywhere?

Leading the charge here are video games, which saw sales surge 73% year over year in April. In fact, video game spending hit a record $10.86 billion in the first quarter.

Here, you might want to take a closer look at Activision Blizzard Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) or Electronic Arts Inc. (Nasdaq: EA).

Also under the heading of online entertainment, we have video streaming and social media. No one benefits more from the unholy union of these two mediums than TikTok.

This China-based social media sensation provides short, user-generated, looping videos and music clips for lip-sync, comedy and talent displays. And if you’re wondering just how popular this seemingly nonsensical idea is … the TikTok app just hit 2 billion downloads during the pandemic.

Unfortunately for investors, TikTok owner ByteDance is a private company. But Great Stuff will keep a close eye on the situation, as the TikTok “fad” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Finally, we have the most impactful distraction during the COVID-19 quarantine: retail investing.

Yes, dear reader, retail mania is taking over Wall Street, fueled by fractional-share trading, no transaction fees and pandemic stimulus checks. With nowhere to go and nowhere better to spend their money, Americans have funneled a considerable chunk of their stimulus checks into the stock market.

In fact, bank transfers into trading accounts ranked behind only savings and cash withdrawals for Americans with incomes between $35,000 and $75,000.

Now, I have to say that I’m proud of y’all for taking the initiative and jumping into the trading world with both feet.

However, we’ve reached a level of concern when it comes to retail investing. At a time when smart money has almost completely pulled out of the market, y’all lead the charge. And, if you’re not careful, you’ll get burned.

It’s not fearmongering … it’s experience! And why would you want to venture into the market without some experience by your side?

Not in the “Gandalf” kind of way — the “Ian King” way. Ian King stays on top of all tipping-point tech trends, no matter the volatility that gets thrown our way. Plus, the guy started trading mortgage bonds on Wall Street at 21. Where else can you find someone like that?!

Good: Get in the Zone

When it comes to car repairs, you’re essentially constrained by two things: money and time. Between the recent economic lockdown and the pandemic stimulus checks, consumers have had plenty of both — much to the benefit of AutoZone Inc. (NYSE: AZO).

The do-it-yourself auto-parts retailer reported fiscal third-quarter earnings of $14.39 per share on revenue of $2.78 billion. Both figures slid easily past Wall Street’s expectations.

But the quarter wasn’t all roses and oil changes. “During the third quarter, we experienced the most extreme fluctuations in sales, both negative and positive, in the Company’s more than 40-year history,” AutoZone said in its earnings press release.

AZO stock initially vaulted more than 5% higher on the news, but uncertainty surrounding the company’s “extreme fluctuations” left some investors leaking coolant. Furthermore, AutoZone said that same-store sales still fell 1% during the quarter.

While the results weren’t as bad as many investors (and Wall Street) feared, there’s still a serious volatility concern lingering over AZO’s head.

Better: Vaccines, Vaccines Everywhere!

Are you ready for another insane vaccine rally?

No? Too bad. Novavax Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX) returned to the headlines this morning, helping to drive optimism that a COVID-19 cure is just around the corner. The biotech announced that it initiated phase 1 and phase 2 trials for its coronavirus vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373.

Phase 1 begins immediately and includes 130 healthy volunteers. If all goes well, Novavax will quickly start phase 2 testing with a much larger patient population.

Honestly, Novavax’s considerable rally today appears a bit overdone. The company is entering phase 1 while both Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: INO) and Moderna Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNA) are already in phase 2 testing.

I still maintain that NVAX is an excellent stock to short, given its lagging position in the vaccine race and the considerable hype in this niche of the biotech sector. That said, if you like backing the underdog, NVAX may be just the play for you.

Best: Blues Traveling

The travel industry went bonkers today. Airlines, cruise lines and you-name-it lines all rallied across the board.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) surged nearly 10%. Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) added almost 12%. Heck, even the pink sheets for German travel company TUI AG (OTC: TUIFF) surged 52%.

Why? Vaccine hopes and reopening dreams.

On Friday, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that travelers moving through TSA checkpoints last week hit 300,000 for the first time in two months.

While the TSA news was encouraging, this morning’s announcement out of hard-hit Spain was the real spark that ignited the travel sector. The country announced that it will lift its two-week quarantine regulations for foreign travelers starting July 1.

If Spain can start reopening, then the real danger of COVID-19 must be past its peak … right? Combine that with continued progress on the vaccine front and investors surged to get in early on the travel sector’s expected rebound.

The first rule of hustlin’? You either hustle or get hustled.

And you wanna make some big bucks, huh?

That’s right — my mind is still on Main Street’s leap into the retail market for our Quote of the Week. No matter how long you’ve been banking Benjamins in the market, this sudden rush of cash from newbie investors will affect you.

Even Robinhood’s ads are all about the small-stakes hustle these days:

Got .3 shares of tesla stock today. Little by little.

— Robinhood, via Barron’s

Now, I want to be clear here, since a ton of you fine Great Stuff readers out there are the same new investors we’re talking about today. (Welcome to the *$&% show, by the way!)

But … if you’re going to jump into the market, you gotta jump with our jive, right? You gotta pick up some street smarts before wandering the market’s dim back alleys.

Anyway, the point is that no matter if you have 0.3 shares of your favorite stock or 3 million shares … no matter how long you’ve been an investor…

I have just one titanium-plated rule to stick in your trading tool belt. It will separate you from the retail chaff — and give you a leg-up on all those lockdown gamblers-turned-investors: Don’t buy a stock just because everyone else is buying it. You will hear arguments about how “you can’t miss out if you’re ‘in it,’ man!” See the past decade-long bull run for more details.

Now, since the Great Stuff team was in a post-cookout coma yesterday, here’s a bonus Chart of the Week for you that shows my point a bit better.

Thanks to Robintrack.net, you can see the retail investor’s Robinhood revolution for yourself. Right here, you can see the past week’s biggest popularity changes, at least as far as Robinhood stock ownership goes.

Check out the huge spike in Moderna and Delta, with some latecomers to the Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) rally not far behind. (Plus, here’s an honorable shout-out to any Luckin owners out there left holding the fraud bag…)

On the right, you can see how Delta’s collapse stacks up to a tsunami of share buying in no time flat:

Now … are these half a million Robinhooders about to bring home the bacon (or tendies) while the smart money sleeps? Is this chart a snapshot right before a “pass the flaming turd” disaster?

Stay tuned; we’ll find out together.

Stir-Crazy Investors

We’re all itching to get out and participate in the U.S. economy’s “Great Reopening.” If reports from the Memorial Day holiday weekend are any indication, some of us are a lot more eager than others … I’m looking at you Lake of the Ozarks partygoers.

As the country reopens, now is an excellent time to reflect on some of our biggest lockdown pastimes — one of which could have a major impact on your investing future.

First up, we have comfort spending.

Shopping is by far America’s most popular pastime, and the COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. It’s good to note that silly little things like travel restrictions and social distancing haven’t slowed down America’s appetite for consumption.

“Surprisingly, Americans are spending more money during this time of social distancing than prior to it,” says WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez. In fact, Gonzalez notes: “Forty-three percent of Americans are participating in what is called comfort buying.”

For investors, that means profitable returns for companies such as Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP).

Next up, we have online entertainment. I mean, what else are you gonna do after spending all your money while not going anywhere?

Leading the charge here are video games, which saw sales surge 73% year over year in April. In fact, video game spending hit a record $10.86 billion in the first quarter.

Here, you might want to take a closer look at Activision Blizzard Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) or Electronic Arts Inc. (Nasdaq: EA).

Also under the heading of online entertainment, we have video streaming and social media. No one benefits more from the unholy union of these two mediums than TikTok.

This China-based social media sensation provides short, user-generated, looping videos and music clips for lip-sync, comedy and talent displays. And if you’re wondering just how popular this seemingly nonsensical idea is … the TikTok app just hit 2 billion downloads during the pandemic.

Unfortunately for investors, TikTok owner ByteDance is a private company. But Great Stuff will keep a close eye on the situation, as the TikTok “fad” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hello, everybody. We’ll go back for another video. Hope you’re all doing well and that you’re all having an incredible day. We’ll go back for another news I missed. Where I go over. News I missed. Hedge fund manager Matt D’Souza thinks patience is the key for Bitcoin holders looking to capitalize on the having. And De Souza was also the co-founder and CEO of the crypto mining operator Block, where Solutions says it’s not the time to day trade. He said, and I do quote, In 2016, Bitcoin rallied sixty seven percent into having corrected 33 percent and bottomed within three weeks, only to begin a 17 month bull market in 2020. We didn’t have a rally going into the having as we recovered losses from the global market meltdown. The fundamentals for Bitcoin have never been better. Things are typically buy the news, sell the rumor events and 20 20, I expect a shallower sell off than 2016. We already corrected by 20 percent and only one two five. Oh, there we go. One point five to three week duration, Max. Now is the time to be patient and hold, not day trade. Sorry for screaming. The big money is in the sitting. What in capturing this. People use weird phrases. Big money is in the sitting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my entire English career ever. And capturing the cycle. Never heard that either, end quote. Does Susan note that the Fed is recklessly printing money which will create negative interest rates? He also says 16 percent of miners have now shut off, giving BTC a better environment to rally. And it’s not just post having developments that could create a bullish environment for crypto trader and analyst Luke Martin says Bitcoin is also currently decoupling from the stock market. And there’s his tweet right there, which probably just says what I just said. In mid-March, when Bitcoin collapsed hand-in-hand with equities, many analysts expressed doubt about the assets ability to serve as a hedge on traditional finance. But that’s no longer the case, according to Martin Shaw. There were about 15000 other price predictions that I was going to throw into the video. But I was like, no, not today. I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll not do that. Everyone seems to be thinking the same thing. I mean, as far as hedge fund managers, crypto enthusiasts, you kind of name it, everyone’s expecting that this having will be different and therefore things will be different in the next couple of weeks. I mean, you’ve you’ve seen the news that we’ve been going over the last couple of days. Everyone has their own ideas as to what could potentially be happening in the near future with the cryptocurrency market and exactly what’s going to be happening with Bitcoin. A lot of people are expecting that Bitcoin had to go down before the having an order for it to go up later on. We have seen historically it’s only been two other ones before this one that Bitcoin tends to dip and then move on up a bit higher. But Bitcoin, as they say, has never been tested in such a manner. The other two having there wasn’t a worldwide economic crisis and governments were not printing trillions of dollars in order to kind of mitigate losses and or prop up things that should not be propped up. So, yeah, that’s absolutely wonderful that another really rich person thinks that things are going to get better with the cryptocurrency space. I said that, ironically enough, if you could hear the tone of my voice, I say things like that sometimes in the video. People like How dare you side with the banks? And it’s like, come let listen to listen to the tone of my voice and how I am. I am currently talking to see that I am being. Facetious, but. Then I’m flying anyway. That’s the Bitcoin. I mean, like like I’ve mentioned before and many other times in the past, rich people have a very strong grasp on the cryptocurrency market. They have been in the market for a while. I think they were all like literally waiting for this having to take place. They’d be like, oh, my stars. Bitcoin’s amazing. It’s because they know mathematically that stuff is going to get real very soon. And that it is kind of spreading the good word, as it were. Let’s move on. Next up, where are the words? Jeez Louise. There we go. The lackluster response following Bitcoin’s third having has left many in the cryptocurrency community scratching their heads over why the event did and trigger the next crypto market monsters rally. Not really. It’s just people who don’t understand Bitcoin is having a once every four year event is said to be bullish for the pioneer cryptocurrency as it reduces the number of new Bitcoin minted on a daily basis by slashing the rewards. Mind per block. WellPoint five six point five. You already know all hope is not lost. And you’ll see exactly where I’m going with this as well, because I’m noticing a very new trend. It says all hope is not lost with they’re having now in the rearview mirror. Investors are searching for the next catalyst that will drive the crypto markets higher, according to a top analyst. The imminent launch of a Theory M 2.0, an update that will introduce a higher transaction throughput and a new consensus model under proof of stake will make a much more profound. A fact there we go on the crypto markets than the recently completed BTC, having Ryan Watkins, an analyst for Mazari, recently explained why he thinks Ethe 2.0 will provide a much stronger effect on crypto prices. In a tweet a few days ago, Watkins noted that while the having was a pre-programmed and thus predictable Ethe 2.0 was an uncertain and fundamental change. And that’s what I just said right there. And that’s also in the tweet. The Ethe 2.0 release date has been delayed for the longest time. It’s been about 16 years now. That was also a joke, mostly due to the extreme techno tatlock teeny tiny technicality. Wow of the project Ethe Dewpoint. Those launch was initially slated for the 30th of July because we all we all saw that date mentioned before. However, Metallic Budarin recently posted, hoisted posted that the date could be pushed further to an undisclosed date in quarter three of twenty. Now keep that date in mind as well, you know, and explain in a tweet on Friday why the delay is necessary rather than rushing to launch Ethe 2.0 for those of you who did not see. He said pretty much he thinks it should be slow and steady and he doesn’t want to make any mistakes. He said, What do we do now? Will echo through crypto history for the next couple of decades. And therefore he wants to make sure the E Theorem 2.0 is perfect, perfect instead of slightly perfect before it gets released. That was his explanation. So we don’t even have to go over all of that. If you look at the title of the article, it says, Why upcoming Ethe 2.0 could propel a bigger extended market rally? This one says, In theory, I’m decouples from Bitcoin as having pressure sets in. This one says Alt coins like a theory may soon benefit from institutions rushing to buy Bitcoin. And this one says Imperium 2.0, is what could bring a major turnaround for Ethe to the U.S. dollar. I woke up today finding thousands, not thousands, like 15 articles I’m all talking about. Theorem. For some reason with B having behind this and this is why I mentioned before. Don’t assume that simply people who are not within the cryptocurrency space don’t understand what Bitcoin having actually represent and how significant they are to the cryptocurrency space and also to the price of Bitcoin, to the actual issuance rate of crypto currencies in general. As we move into a more deflationary cryptocurrency world, a lot of different websites started poking their head out just exclusively talking about a theory about how amazing it theorem is. Not saying that a theorem is not amazing, awesome, cool, funky, fly fresh, however, just seems a little bit weird that all the attention has seemingly moves to Aegerion Cerium 2.0 now. And I assume of the next couple of weeks we are going to be bombarded with a theorem is amazing articles until and I say this probably around the time we end up hitting Ethereum 2.0. I’m aiming for August, September of 2022. That was also a joke. Lot of jokes today around this year, probably August. September is when this will probably phase zero us in the face. Then at that point, I assume some other type of news will have come about for some other coin, who is also going to have a having a doubling a for thing or something else will come out and they’ll kind of take all of the attention. And then when he Theorem 2.0 does get released and the price doesn’t skyrocket by thirteen thousand percent. Like many people, I assume, are assuming it’s going to happen. We’ll start to get articles the same exact way. Why isn’t Bitcoin going up? Why is any theory I’m going of? Why is it like coin going up? We see them over and over and over. I find it weird, isn’t it? I don’t wanna say that there’s no loyalty within the cryptocurrency space, but you kind of get what I’m saying. It’s kind of odd. I don’t know if these were always I love you theory and Web sites or simply now they are poking their heads out up, showing their true colors once again. There does not have to be one coin that rules them all. A lot of people think so. I think a market rally could come from any direction. I don’t think it’ll exclusively be Bitcoin that causes everything to skyrocket into the bazillions. It could be someone who wins the lotto and they’re like, I got an extra 14 million. Let’s buy up this coin. It could be a million. And one things. However. It appears that analysts are even more bullish than before on a theorem. I think it’s perfectly natural to be OK with your theory M 2.0 or be excited about it, especially when we talk about the issuance rate in this taking and then all the other stuff that we don’t have to go over again. It was kind of weird that there were so many different websites out there who were all talking and discussing about how amazing each theorem was around the same exact time. Are also more of these. I just I just chose these four because they had the nicest colors. Anyway. Probably my my most. Favorite. News story in a while. For those of you not looking at the screen, even the title, even the title gets me. It says that J.K. Rowling asks about Bitcoin accursed crypto Twitter scares her off. Jake, J.K. Rowling probably wasn’t expecting to unleash the Bitcoin community’s pent up passion and imagination when she tweeted two sentences asking about Bitcoin. But the author of Harry Potter series did. Responding to a tweet from Quoin Desk, senior reporter Ly Kyun Rowland tweeted, and I quote, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me in just two hours. Her tweet had spawned thirteen hundred replies. It took less than three hours for her to follow up with. I don’t think I trust this is weird. The reason I’m laughing is because if you’ve been into crypto for over two years, I. I give you even a year and a half. You know how intense this space can be. If you scream out, Bitcoin is garbage, Bikash is the true Bitcoin. You’re going to get some really strong responses if you send out a message. SRP is better than Bitcoin and like coin proved me wrong. You’re gonna get responses back. So all I could imagine when I read the title. Was at people to simply bombarded her with so many things, tearing her down and then to even read to her say, I don’t think I trust this because you you know how people are within the cryptocurrency space. So I think if I was if it was my first day in crypto and I and I wrote on Anthony possibly on his page, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me. And I got thirteen hundred responses and I’m going to read out some of their responses as well. I think I would also probably not even think of trusting Bitcoin lurking below the Twitter surface. Is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and crypto day in and day out. That is the honest truth. Dying to use their netsch knowhow for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it and attempts to speak Rowlings language. It gets better, I promise. Many started comparing Bitcoin to the wizarding world from her books. Someone said, remember how he he who must not be named, play seven Hawe cruxes and different objects around the world in an attempt to immortalize himself so that no one, not even the Ministry of Magic, could stop him. Someone said that he who must not be named or Lord Voldemort thought it would be unlikely that anyone could find all seven Halk cruxes making him impervious to destruction. Similarly under the hood. Bitcoin is composed or comprised of thousands of nosed around the globe running the Bitcoin software, although the number might be decreasing. Who cares? It is hard to share what we’re talking about. J.K. Rowling. It is hard to shut down because all of these nodes need to be shut down at once to derail the online currency. Stephen Saying a researcher at crypto publication of The Block focused his Harry Potter metaphore on the goal of Bitcoin, giving users freedom to do as they please. He said Remember when Dobbie was freed by a sock? Bitcoin is that sock. I mean, it just keeps going on like people kept on, like the Philosopher’s Stone and all this other stuff. Why not just explain to her what Bitcoin is in simple terms? I’m sure this woman who wrote this book 30 years ago was reading these responses and was like, what the heck is everyone even talking about? On top of that, the also other news was that Elon Musk apparently decided to also chime in and told J.K. Rowling about how amazing Bitcoin was. But is it this is a two parter. Hang in there. He said pretty much. Although massive currency issuance by government, central banks is making Bitcoin Internet ghost money looked solid by comparison. Once again, no one actually explained to J.K. Rowling what Bitcoin was. She said people are now explaining Bitcoin to me and honestly, it’s blah, blah, blah, collectibles, My Little Pony, blah, blah, blah. Computers got one of those blah, blah, blah. Crypto sounds creepy. Blah, blah, blah. Understand the risk. I don’t, though, because no one we we we make the mistake often being in the cryptocurrency space of just simply not simply easily explaining something to someone. Now, many friends I’ve had who’ve tried looking at my channel and they don’t understand the thing. I mean, first of all, the channels made for intermediate to low level advanced, like, you have to have been here for a while to really get the channels on a an introductory kind of channel. But it is that same exact thing like you. I talk to all of you as if you know what. 256 is or what the e what what proof of stake. And this is like you you get these terms. You also know what securities are. Anyone come into the channel with simply does go away though. I don’t know what of this stuff is. No one explained it to her. Everyone gave her Harry Potter references. Elon Musk is talking about Bitcoin, Internet ghost money, looking solid by comparison. Also, the two parter for that one. For those of you not looking at the screen, the title of this article is Elon Musk Drops Bitcoin Bomb on J.K. Rowling. Bitcoin is solid compared to fiat money. He never said any of those words. He said the words solid. He he referenced Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money for those of you who’ve never heard that, that was a very big thing in 2014, 15 and 16, where people used to say that Bitcoin was magical ghost Internet money, that no one could see it, no one understood it, and therefore was his relatively unknown entity that was kind of floating around this that just simply worked. He said Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money looks solid by comparison. He didn’t call Bitcoin solid. He did say that Bitcoin was a new world currency. He simply said by comparison, goes to money, looks solid to all the issuance by central government banks. Very weird because through multiple different articles on the Internet, they constantly made reference to the fact that Elon Musk had spoken about Bitcoin. Well, I think the third time, third or fourth time this year, and this time he used the word solid to talk about Bitcoin. He didn’t learn learn how to read English and stop trying to misconstrue things to make them sound better. The point is, this is my favorite thing. I was I was I was making some tea. I read this and I laughed for a good 20 minutes. I don’t if you heard the the optimism in my voice before I started this video is because I had had so much joy in my heart, just thinking chemo came. People in the cryptocurrency space leave now because of how insane the cryptocurrency space is and how like. The word is intense. How intense people can get because of, you know, how intense crypto Twitter is. So I just imagine J.K. Rowling sitting at home wrapped up in a blanket, like drinking some tea, just not understanding, like, what the heck are these people talking about? That’s my favorite news story. And then Elon Musk saying the word solid, which also got people riled up. I mean, why, why, why? Why is there a picture of money? Why is there a woman who has her finger nails done holding up a hundred dollar? Well, let’s start with Krypto. What’s going on? What’s going on, guys? Like what? What am I missing? Why the woods? What’s happening in this space? What what is this picture? If there was a photo of Elon Musk, I would get it. Or Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling at an event standing side by side, it would have made a bit more sense. There’s a woman wearing jeans, holding hundred dollar bills. Anyway. There’s a reason why it’s called news, I missed it. There’s a huge reason. Let us move on. And also other news, Jarrett Tate, the founder of Deji Bite, announced that he will be stepping aside from day to day operations due to the greed and rampant pillaging of the cryptocurrency industry. Tate announced his departure from the front end of the crypto space on his Twitter page on the 15th of May. After eight years in the industry, wow, he had this to say about his experiences. He said, all along the way, I have learned some very humble lessons. Number one of which is greed is the fundamental driving force in crypto and people’s actions in life, end quote. It took him eight years to learn that eight years that we all did that I knew took him eight years. Tate said he doesn’t speak for everyone involved with did you? Right. Which he proclaims that the original values of the crypto industry have disappeared. We’ve gone over that as well. The old old crypto is completely gone. Tait’s noted that all 90 percent of the people care about is cashing out. When one of their coins moons. And that’s because boys and girls for everyone listening, I wanna tell you a secret about the cryptocurrency space. Hope you’re listening. Remember these words. Ninety nine percent of the cryptocurrency market is garbage. Did you hear me? Rubbish. Terrible. No use. There’s no need for these coins and people know that in the back of their head, no matter how much you tell yourself. Listen, I’ll be out. I’ll be frank with you and I’ll even level with you. I’ll even I’ll even say that I understand you. I get why people try to pump their coins in the comment section I get while other people are fighting. I get why. So am I and I get it. I don’t agree with it. However, when people try to pump their coins, it’s because they know that they’re holding garbage and they’re doing anything that they can in their power to make sure that the prices of these coins go up so that they can moon and that they can cash out, because in the very beginning he’d heed my words. People got into some of the worst coins in the cryptocurrency space trying to make a rapid quick buck. This is why they did. These other channels are flourishing once again. I’ve I’ve I’ve never been so shocked in my entire life, honestly, on a on an average day. My videos get anywhere from 13 to 18 thousand views, give or take. They fluctuate back and forth. And I and I simply give you the news. I tell you the reality of the cryptocurrency space. I don’t sugarcoat anything. If something looks like garbage, I’m going to tell you it’s garbage. The other channels that have come out of the woodworks or have started reposting videos. These channels are getting one hundred and sixteen thousand views a day. Eighty five thousand views a day. Their channels. One of them. What was it like a couple of days ago? It was like chart shows bitcoin hitting one hundred thousand very soon. Are you in the market? All these things. Everything right now almost knocked over a picture frame. Everything just go away. Everything right now in the cryptocurrency space. Has to exclusively do with people trying to make sure that their coins are no one are hyped up, are pumped up so that the prices can go up and they can cash out. People know that they’re holding garbage. And I’m sad that it took the the founder of Deji by eight years to figure this out. And in the end in the beginning, in the long, long ago, in the beginning of the cryptocurrency space, things were not as they were right now. Things were a lot calmer than we we we had the idea of of of the whole Lambeau culture. But that also came from the greedy aspect of what is now a huge force within the cryptocurrency space. Before that, the idea was to decouple the entire world from fiat currencies. We know that Bitcoin is slow, but we know that eventually Bitcoin will get upgraded. We can do this and make sure that Bitcoin stands as the the the the the totem pole. And therefore, if everyone touches the totem pole, gains it’s knowledge, we can all move on from fiat currencies. This is when the other coins I’m in, I and I. My my brain won’t let me go through eight years of Krypto life to name all the coins, we had so many copies of Bitcoin starting to pop up and. I don’t even consider light coin to be a necessary copy like coin was created more so as as a like a literal silver literal silver to Bitcoin’s gold. It was meant to be. And then eventually it became this kind of test net, which is totally fine when you’re trying to protect the main core, as it were, for Bitcoin. What happened over the last couple of years, and I’ve mentioned this on several other occasions, the Andes, the old idea of decentralization is is is completely gone. The cryptocurrency space has allowed itself to become corrupted by not only greed, but also institutions. Remember before when institutions and Griese and Bank and all this other stuff were very bad things, and now people loud to them and praise them on a crypto Twitter. I’m so glad the JP Morgan’s getting into this. I’m so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I understand. I’m also an investor for those of you who were unaware. I’m I’m also into the into the money aspect because I want security in my life. However, the fact that this person just got to the point that I mean, it’s the same exact reason, like we we logically don’t need multiple Bitcoin. If you feel in your heart that Bitcoin, the core is too slow. You create a side chain that runs inside it and you allow these new upgrades to run on said PSI chain, you’d leave the core alone and you build on the outside to make Bitcoin stronger. The BSA vs the B cashes the B gold’s the B diamonds, the B, everything else. These are all unneeded coins and I’ll even go so far as to say did you buy it also isn’t a coin that’s needed. I keep seeing people over and over talking about how it’s just in the comment section. I know these people are trying to hype up the coin and I’m I’m not even half remotely sad that I’m being honest with all of you. It’s just really how things are. I mean, that so many coins in the space, we have no need for them. They’re never going to do anything. A lot of people bought these coins in expectations years ago that these coins were going to rocket and moon. I have a friend. I don’t think he’s watching. But if you are. When he got into the cryptocurrency space, I said, focus on a couple of coins. He went OK and bought a whole bunch of other coins, which I will not name. These coins are doing terrible. And I mean, terrible, terrible, like, bad, terrible. And all I see every single day is him trying to make sure that other people know about how great his garbage is that he bought. Eventually, when the prices go up, can you guess what he plans on doing? He plans on selling because people realizing you all of you realize and for those of you who say you don’t realize, I’m going to tell you, you’re going to realize sometime in the future, you have probably purchased garbage. You are holding onto garbage. You need to at some point get rid of that garbage. And I hope that the next cryptocurrency Bullrun, that not even if we even don’t reach previous highs, that we go five cents over the previous highs of where we were and that you have a chance to cash out and then re-evaluate your portfolio. And I mean that with the most honest words I can possibly comprise together of all the words in the English language. Total honesty. Of course, people in the cryptocurrency space are greedy. So many. Why do you think we have all these coins? Why do you think we have all these other people trying to mimic and make all these other things? You’ve seen all the other cryptocurrency changes that have shut down all the crypto startups, the AI CEOs, the SVO is and have come and gone. There was no need for these things. I told all of you years ago, I remember I had other videos I would show you Web sites, these people talking about. They had made in Bitcoin, our coin is five times faster in the Bitcoin, where the new so and so sign up for this. Do this. Make your money by this. And I’m I beat these coins won’t be around. Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Modern investor, your garbage investor. No. OK. Sure. I got it. Like I said and like I say. Oh, you’ll all get it at some point. There’s a reason why the market mainly focuses on three coins. That’s not to say that there may not be eight other coins circling around those three that could potentially do well in the future. But at least five of those eight are not. The other three are going to be sitting on the sidelines. They’ll they’ll be successful companies, but people won’t be using them. I’m I’m sad that it took this man. Eighty years to figure this out, he added. It’s a primal force. I get that. But every day I see this tech being used to enrich the few at the expense of the long term. Good of the many. He said making a quick buck is not why block chain matters. It’s not at all. But the entire idea of block, chain and cryptocurrency has gone out the window. Cryptocurrency has allowed itself to become easily hyper corrupted by banks and institutions who now own the entire space. Remember, remember what I said about two years ago? I said when the people from the Nasdaq. And the New York Stock Exchange. And Fidelity and the Winklevoss and all these other people are holding thousands, tens of thousands of Bitcoin. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. I think I’m pretty sure the Winklevoss hold in two thousand thirteen. They had at least two hundred thousand Bitcoin. One can only assume they probably have a lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot more. When these people stay the richest people on the planet and become even richer in the future, we can’t get upset at them because we we’ve allowed them to corrupt the space. This is why I mentioned before. For those people who don’t even have a fraction of a Bitcoin in their portfolio and are never going to buy Bitcoin, I, i in in in in 20 years. We’ll have a digital virtual conference in some sort of way. And I’ll let you know, I’ll let you explain to me why you just simply did not buy Bitcoin and how great that’s going for you. Like I said, not being mean, but you have to understand, this place is just. It’s Guards’. It’s gonna be full of greed. It’s a monetary market. Wait, wait, wait. What did this person think was gonna happen by the time Bitcoin had value? This is why for those of you who didn’t do a history lesson, why Satoshi Nakamoto left the space. There were people who he trusted to kind of continue building this in the background. One of the people I think went to the US government and was going to, like, show them how great Bitcoin was. And Satoshi was like, what are you doing? The guy was going there for profit because he probably thought, I know I blew this guy, probably thought he could sell off some Bitcoin or sell off the actual infrastructure to the US government. We have the tools and the means to get away from the old system. But people don’t care. People care about the integration with the old system. And that’s why the news has become the integration with the old system. How to make the old system great. No one’s using swift while there’s a new form of swift. No one’s using so and so where there’s a new form of this. You’re a computer’s not working well. It is integrated into ours as opposed to creating our own space. But we we’ve we’ve we’ve we’ve come far too far. We now have billionaires who own Bitcoin. I’m sure they’re telling their billionaires and or mega millionaire friends to also buy a Bitcoin. These people will own all the Bitcoin in the future. Fifteen years from now, you know, like when we get those really weird, crazy, wacky price predictions of a bitcoin price in twenty, twenty eight and twenty thirty two of being multi million dollars per bitcoin. Think of in the future how many people around the world are just not simply going to hold. Because they’ve bought all these other coins. It’s insane to think about the opportunities that people had. I remember shouting from the rooftop, Buy Bitcoin, it’s two hundred dollars. No. No one listened by Bitcoin is twelve hundred dollars. Bitcoin has dropped from twenty thousand dollars. Have you accumulated Bitcoin? No Bitcoin bitcoins at three thousand five hundred. Why would I want to buy Bitcoin? OK, cool. The point is, of course, the space is full of greed. Of course, it’s a fundamental driving growth or factor or force. We live in a world. Where money rules everything around us. Have we ever heard of cream c r e m Googled the word cream money or C dot r dot e dot a dot m. And you’ll you’ll get it. I’m sure a lot of people know exactly what cream is. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, mister. Did you bite founder that you realized it. It took this man eight years. All these people do is create new coins in an effort to make money from them. This is why it’s also very confusing. Sometimes when you see a lot of these coins that no one’s using have market valuations in the hundreds of millions of billions of dollars. What’s that? Did they they’ve created money out of thin air and people bought it. Remember last year and the year before that, all the conferences we were talking about that were taking place in Russia and other places like that? Like I told you, my friends showed me how he sent me the Instagram stories. These people having multi hundred people conferences in Russia creating like Bitcoin do to do like it was a weird name after it. And these people, they were asking these people that they were going up to them with microphones. How much did you put into the market today? I put fifteen thousand. I think it’s gonna do really well. These coins probably didn’t even exist, these were all scams and the people who ran these scams. Are now somewhere in paradise. They now have tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for the time when they can make their next scam. I know people won’t listen. I know some of you will listen. But I know the vast majority, 99 percent have either clicked the way already, have left a dislike, have left a bad comment or think I’m absolutely insane. And I tell you these things because I’ve been here before. I said this in another video. I know you won’t listen at this point. It kind of is what it is. If you keep buying crappy coins in the future, you’re gonna have a crappy portfolio. Just letting you know and also being sick of the greed that’s the market now. That’s that’s just is what it is. You’ve you’ve seen the comments section. You’ve seen Krypto Twitter, you’ve seen all of it. People are very what’s the word tribalistic in the cryptocurrency space because everyone drank the Kool-Aid in a different corner. Everyone ran to a corner, drank that Kool-Aid, and now they scream at other people, you should be drinking my Kool-Aid when they know it tasted terrible. It was bitter. It was horrible. They didn’t like it. But you have to convince other people, hey, mine is mine is better. I come over to my side and the other people come over. They also taste it and go, Oh. Buy this one, buy this one, because they also bought into the madness. Well, all these coins of garbage there are there are maybe five coins that have any real purpose. And I’m not talking about any staking any delegated proof of stake, any other crappy coins like that. Very few coins are actually going to be used in the future anyway. Yeah, sorry. Did you buy it, founder? I hope you understand now that the place is just about greed and money does. Yeah. Cream anyway. Let’s move on. Next up, Metallic Budarin is in the news in a series of tweets, Imperium co-founder Vitaly Budarin gave a nod of approval to competing block chain EOS with regard to the neach they are trying to carve out. He said, if I were designing a new chain to go live along a Bitcoin, any theory theorem, I would. Oh, that’s a that’s a very bad sign. Whenever someone says those words, that means that they’re slightly planning it in the background. I would take all the political tradeoffs that Bitcoin and ether aren’t willing to take, Budarin said in a May 15th tweet, referring to, of course, Bitcoin and ether because he said BTC and Ethe listed by Coin Telegraph as a fifth most influential person in crypto really and block chain Budarin and hold significant weight in the industry, Budarin noted. Quadratic voting, based on unchanged governance and all built into cryptographic procedures, are tradeoffs of interest. He also included on chain oracles for all events. Instead of ones that simply relay price moves. Budiman also mentioned potentially adding some form of identification on the network, perhaps even an on chain model of identity, at least for participants who want to participate, participate, participate in governance. Non governing actors will still be fully anonymous, he said, although he specified constructing the feature smarter than other current platforms. He said, This is why I actually have some respect for iOS and Co.. I disagree with delegated proof of stake, but at least they are trying to develop a cohesive and principled alternative niche, he added, referring to the delegated proof of stake block chain framework. That’s also news. Yeah. Vitaly Budarin said he has some respect for iOS. The Internet ran away with it. This is not listen. So a couple of other times before, it wasn’t Budarin. But there have been other people, other big wigs, big names in the cryptocurrency space who have mentioned that if they were to create a new chain, that they would do it like this. I redis very them. The bureau has already said before in the past that at some point he plans on stepping away from Ethiopia. Theory. He said, is no time soon. But he wants it to be as decentralized as possible. He doesn’t want to have the sway and the weight that he currently holds within the cryptocurrency space. Charlie Lee has said the same thing. I guess Nakamoto said it in 2009, 2010, because he’s gone. And so have many other people who have leadership role. So it does kind of make sense. I really hope he doesn’t make a new chain because it’s just kind of like, oh, no, no, no, no. But yeah. Vitaly Budarin tipped his digital hat towards iOS four delegates, proof of stake. And that also made news because this is news that I missed. There’s usually a reason why I missed it at. John McAfee. Is in the news today. John McAfee’s goes to cryptocurrency, teasers out who and the privacy focused coin is ready for its worldwide debut. I was hoping this would happen. The millionaire entrepreneur has just informed the world, thank goodness, about his latest crypto offering called Ghost that focuses on individual privacy. The tweet featured the white paper launch for the upcoming coin. It says, Yes, money signed Ghost White Paper coming out today, 8:00 p.m. Central. No, I will say nothing in advance. Dot, dot, dot, maybe. Dot, dot, dot. I’ll put it out half an hour earlier. Dot. Or maybe not. Said John McAfee on the 15th of May. Twitter Roddie has responded with enthusiasm, really about the John McAfee ghost cryptocurrency white paper. Soon the tweet was flooded with queries and congratulations. Why? This is the third coin he’s made. John McAfee has made other coins before. Am I the only one who, like, pays attention to the day to day of the cryptocurrency space? John McAfee has made other coins before. He’s also promoted tons of crappy coins before. A lot of you have probably lost money because that because of John McAfee. John McAfee was the scam promoter in 2017. Type in John McAfee, IFCO 2017. He promoted a new coin a day, a day, not every other day, not once a week, every single day on his Twitter. John McAfee was promoting a different coin. And John McAfee had the stop because the S.E.C. was like, what? What are you doing? He was he was also getting paid. I think I think I think the rumors were the rumors were between 50 to one hundred thousand dollars per coin. And he never disclosed it. And people just thought that he actually logit had a new coin of the day. Same exact thing. There’s another crypto tuber who is the same exact way. I’m not going to say names. You know exactly who I’m talking about. He also remember 2017. This guy said it’s really weird that all these scammers are popping back up and people are following them. It’s the weirdest thing in the entire world. How many times do you have to be burned to understand that that that the oven is hot? Stop touching it. You know that these people are scammers. You know that these people. John McAfee has made multiple coins. He has promoted multiple scams before in the past. Why would any why why would why would you continue following nine? You know how many views? Ninety five thousand of uses for a scam. Remember the other day when we were talking about all those people? Who are watching those scams? If you give me one hundred X Arpey, I’ll give you back a thousand. And why why they’re so popular. What is going on in the world that people just don’t. Is it? It’s called common sense. Like what is? And I didn’t even make a joke. I was gonna make a joke, like, send me a Bitcoin, I’ll send you 10, because I know that at some point somebody would send me a Bitcoin like, hey, TMI, never send me back my ten bitcoin. Like, what do you what do you think is happening in the world? Is it is. It is. The white paper will launch at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. The public will have full access to all technical details regarding the coin. This is not his first coin. His other coins have flopped. No one won. I think it was actually like a I think it was called McAfee coin. No one’s going to use these coins. I swear to actual goodness, if anyone in this channel puts their money into this coin that no one is going to use. And you use you lose your money. Please only blame yourself. No one else. Tell your friend, tell a family member, tell your dog, stop it. Stop buying these crappy coins. There’s no there’s no there’s no point in the near future. Were any institution, any bank, any anything? Is not only going to be adding ghost to their cryptocurrency exchange, they’re not going to be custody ing ghost. And they’re not going to be buying ghost. John McAfee is releasing a new coin. If it even ends up launching the white paper as launching, if the actual coin gets off the floor. Who knows? None of you should hold this in the first place. And to finish things off, Ripple Partners, Bibi or SBI Holdings says it plans to use a Ripple’s payments technology to make it easier for people in Japan to access a.T.M. Well, that’s so nice of them. In its latest yearly fiscal reports. The financial services company says it’s working to integrate its ripple powered payments. Settlement money app, tap tap money app app money tap with eight teams runs by various banks across the country. The move could make it easier for users to access their phones at any time, regardless of bank affiliation. Wow. I mean, that’s that sounds futuristic. SBI says the project could also improve the bottom line for banks. Always important because banks are banks themselves by reducing operating costs. They said currently each bank has an atom with its own bank app, but with a common web app, these same atom may be used or jointly operated by a multi bank. Adam, that sounds interesting. It’s almost as if we didn’t need a Tam’s anymore. We simply could just use cryptocurrency. Hmm hmm. I guess not. Maybe a couple more years. SBI aims to roll out money tap to a bank consortium that’s led by SBI Ripple Asia. The consortium currently has 61 banks operating or representing about 80 percent of all bank assets in Japan. In September of last year, SBI Holdings President Yoshitaka Cartel was quoted as saying that the app, which is fully licensed by Japanese regulators, would utilize Ripple’s native cryptocurrency Zerk in the future. Wonderful. I love the idea of more a.T.M, especially when I don’t even use an A.T.M.. No one my age uses cash anymore. I don’t know if you still use cash. Everyone I know taps their cards, lives their card or just simply orders online. I guess there are tons of people who do use atoms so cool that they’re gonna be using Ripple’s payment network. For that, no explicit words on them using. I assume SERP will be used somewhere in the background because for those of you who don’t know, REPL is actually partnered with nearly every single bank in Japan. So at some point I’m ex Arpey is going to be heavily used. But for this news that was also everywhere, it kind of all over the place. S.P.I is going to be using REPL. I mean, I’m shocked. Are you? I mean, I’ve never seen the affiliation before side. I just simply did not expect this to happen. Anyway. As always, a very special thank you to my patriot and supporters, reviser Walli, from going to my university utopia.

I have to sneeze. Thank you all very, very much for your support. Thank you to everyone who is a subscriber of the new channel. Thank you to everyone who was a member of this channel. And thank you to everyone who has a clicker of affiliate links. SAT the momento. The cryptocurrency market looks in saying, I saw a couple of articles. First of all, Bitcoin is down currently by two point one three percent. I saw a couple of articles talking about that Bitcoin was on its way back down to seven. The Bears had taken control and therefore it was time for the market to kind of hold on. I don’t think we’re going back down to 7000. I could see a slipping slightly below nine thousand for a couple of seconds in a coordinated move to acquire more. Lower than nine thousand dollar Bitcoin. But at the moment, fundamentals look great. The fluctuations are absolutely insane. And once again, if you’ve been day trading kudo’s to you, because these movements are moneymakers, that’s not me telling you to go day. Trade is more like a if you’re already in it and you know what to do, therefore keep on doing it. Me? Yeah. The market looks crazy. Nothing. And what if the price of did you buy it went up because the founder was like, nope, I’m gone. I’m Hyperion is up by 15 percent. Wow. That’s twenty four million dollars worth of trading volume. That is. I mean, that’s more than any other coin I’ve never seen. Twenty four million per coin. I simply my mind can’t take it. I don’t know what to do with that 24 million faders up one 19 million synthetics is up on one million. Really, really strong, strong trading, trading, trading volumes right now going around. For those of you who could not hear in my voice that was sarcasm. I do hope you all enjoyed. I mean, I enjoyed the the the J.K. Rowling one. Hope you all enjoyed. Hope you all are having a great day of mourning. A great afternoon. A great evening. Wherever you are. Where ever you might be. I do hope that it was ab. So lewdly. Fantastic. Thank you all once again for watching and or listening. And I will most definitely. Certainly, hopefully probably. We’ll be talking to you all soon. See you.

Bitcoin Future Prediction ETH 2.0 Hype Harry Potter Coin DigiByte Greed & SBI Ripple ATMs

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hello, everybody. We’ll go back for another video. Hope you’re all doing well and that you’re all having an incredible day. We’ll go back for another news I missed. Where I go over. News I missed. Hedge fund manager Matt D’Souza thinks patience is the key for Bitcoin holders looking to capitalize on the having. And De Souza was also the co-founder and CEO of the crypto mining operator Block, where Solutions says it’s not the time to day trade. He said, and I do quote, In 2016, Bitcoin rallied sixty seven percent into having corrected 33 percent and bottomed within three weeks, only to begin a 17 month bull market in 2020. We didn’t have a rally going into the having as we recovered losses from the global market meltdown. The fundamentals for Bitcoin have never been better. Things are typically buy the news, sell the rumor events and 20 20, I expect a shallower sell off than 2016. We already corrected by 20 percent and only one two five. Oh, there we go. One point five to three week duration, Max. Now is the time to be patient and hold, not day trade. Sorry for screaming. The big money is in the sitting. What in capturing this. People use weird phrases. Big money is in the sitting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my entire English career ever. And capturing the cycle. Never heard that either, end quote. Does Susan note that the Fed is recklessly printing money which will create negative interest rates? He also says 16 percent of miners have now shut off, giving BTC a better environment to rally. And it’s not just post having developments that could create a bullish environment for crypto trader and analyst Luke Martin says Bitcoin is also currently decoupling from the stock market. And there’s his tweet right there, which probably just says what I just said. In mid-March, when Bitcoin collapsed hand-in-hand with equities, many analysts expressed doubt about the assets ability to serve as a hedge on traditional finance. But that’s no longer the case, according to Martin Shaw. There were about 15000 other price predictions that I was going to throw into the video. But I was like, no, not today. I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll not do that. Everyone seems to be thinking the same thing. I mean, as far as hedge fund managers, crypto enthusiasts, you kind of name it, everyone’s expecting that this having will be different and therefore things will be different in the next couple of weeks. I mean, you’ve you’ve seen the news that we’ve been going over the last couple of days. Everyone has their own ideas as to what could potentially be happening in the near future with the cryptocurrency market and exactly what’s going to be happening with Bitcoin. A lot of people are expecting that Bitcoin had to go down before the having an order for it to go up later on. We have seen historically it’s only been two other ones before this one that Bitcoin tends to dip and then move on up a bit higher. But Bitcoin, as they say, has never been tested in such a manner. The other two having there wasn’t a worldwide economic crisis and governments were not printing trillions of dollars in order to kind of mitigate losses and or prop up things that should not be propped up. So, yeah, that’s absolutely wonderful that another really rich person thinks that things are going to get better with the cryptocurrency space. I said that, ironically enough, if you could hear the tone of my voice, I say things like that sometimes in the video. People like How dare you side with the banks? And it’s like, come let listen to listen to the tone of my voice and how I am. I am currently talking to see that I am being. Facetious, but. Then I’m flying anyway. That’s the Bitcoin. I mean, like like I’ve mentioned before and many other times in the past, rich people have a very strong grasp on the cryptocurrency market. They have been in the market for a while. I think they were all like literally waiting for this having to take place. They’d be like, oh, my stars. Bitcoin’s amazing. It’s because they know mathematically that stuff is going to get real very soon. And that it is kind of spreading the good word, as it were. Let’s move on. Next up, where are the words? Jeez Louise. There we go. The lackluster response following Bitcoin’s third having has left many in the cryptocurrency community scratching their heads over why the event did and trigger the next crypto market monsters rally. Not really. It’s just people who don’t understand Bitcoin is having a once every four year event is said to be bullish for the pioneer cryptocurrency as it reduces the number of new Bitcoin minted on a daily basis by slashing the rewards. Mind per block. WellPoint five six point five. You already know all hope is not lost. And you’ll see exactly where I’m going with this as well, because I’m noticing a very new trend. It says all hope is not lost with they’re having now in the rearview mirror. Investors are searching for the next catalyst that will drive the crypto markets higher, according to a top analyst. The imminent launch of a Theory M 2.0, an update that will introduce a higher transaction throughput and a new consensus model under proof of stake will make a much more profound. A fact there we go on the crypto markets than the recently completed BTC, having Ryan Watkins, an analyst for Mazari, recently explained why he thinks Ethe 2.0 will provide a much stronger effect on crypto prices. In a tweet a few days ago, Watkins noted that while the having was a pre-programmed and thus predictable Ethe 2.0 was an uncertain and fundamental change. And that’s what I just said right there. And that’s also in the tweet. The Ethe 2.0 release date has been delayed for the longest time. It’s been about 16 years now. That was also a joke, mostly due to the extreme techno tatlock teeny tiny technicality. Wow of the project Ethe Dewpoint. Those launch was initially slated for the 30th of July because we all we all saw that date mentioned before. However, Metallic Budarin recently posted, hoisted posted that the date could be pushed further to an undisclosed date in quarter three of twenty. Now keep that date in mind as well, you know, and explain in a tweet on Friday why the delay is necessary rather than rushing to launch Ethe 2.0 for those of you who did not see. He said pretty much he thinks it should be slow and steady and he doesn’t want to make any mistakes. He said, What do we do now? Will echo through crypto history for the next couple of decades. And therefore he wants to make sure the E Theorem 2.0 is perfect, perfect instead of slightly perfect before it gets released. That was his explanation. So we don’t even have to go over all of that. If you look at the title of the article, it says, Why upcoming Ethe 2.0 could propel a bigger extended market rally? This one says, In theory, I’m decouples from Bitcoin as having pressure sets in. This one says Alt coins like a theory may soon benefit from institutions rushing to buy Bitcoin. And this one says Imperium 2.0, is what could bring a major turnaround for Ethe to the U.S. dollar. I woke up today finding thousands, not thousands, like 15 articles I’m all talking about. Theorem. For some reason with B having behind this and this is why I mentioned before. Don’t assume that simply people who are not within the cryptocurrency space don’t understand what Bitcoin having actually represent and how significant they are to the cryptocurrency space and also to the price of Bitcoin, to the actual issuance rate of crypto currencies in general. As we move into a more deflationary cryptocurrency world, a lot of different websites started poking their head out just exclusively talking about a theory about how amazing it theorem is. Not saying that a theorem is not amazing, awesome, cool, funky, fly fresh, however, just seems a little bit weird that all the attention has seemingly moves to Aegerion Cerium 2.0 now. And I assume of the next couple of weeks we are going to be bombarded with a theorem is amazing articles until and I say this probably around the time we end up hitting Ethereum 2.0. I’m aiming for August, September of 2022. That was also a joke. Lot of jokes today around this year, probably August. September is when this will probably phase zero us in the face. Then at that point, I assume some other type of news will have come about for some other coin, who is also going to have a having a doubling a for thing or something else will come out and they’ll kind of take all of the attention. And then when he Theorem 2.0 does get released and the price doesn’t skyrocket by thirteen thousand percent. Like many people, I assume, are assuming it’s going to happen. We’ll start to get articles the same exact way. Why isn’t Bitcoin going up? Why is any theory I’m going of? Why is it like coin going up? We see them over and over and over. I find it weird, isn’t it? I don’t wanna say that there’s no loyalty within the cryptocurrency space, but you kind of get what I’m saying. It’s kind of odd. I don’t know if these were always I love you theory and Web sites or simply now they are poking their heads out up, showing their true colors once again. There does not have to be one coin that rules them all. A lot of people think so. I think a market rally could come from any direction. I don’t think it’ll exclusively be Bitcoin that causes everything to skyrocket into the bazillions. It could be someone who wins the lotto and they’re like, I got an extra 14 million. Let’s buy up this coin. It could be a million. And one things. However. It appears that analysts are even more bullish than before on a theorem. I think it’s perfectly natural to be OK with your theory M 2.0 or be excited about it, especially when we talk about the issuance rate in this taking and then all the other stuff that we don’t have to go over again. It was kind of weird that there were so many different websites out there who were all talking and discussing about how amazing each theorem was around the same exact time. Are also more of these. I just I just chose these four because they had the nicest colors. Anyway. Probably my my most. Favorite. News story in a while. For those of you not looking at the screen, even the title, even the title gets me. It says that J.K. Rowling asks about Bitcoin accursed crypto Twitter scares her off. Jake, J.K. Rowling probably wasn’t expecting to unleash the Bitcoin community’s pent up passion and imagination when she tweeted two sentences asking about Bitcoin. But the author of Harry Potter series did. Responding to a tweet from Quoin Desk, senior reporter Ly Kyun Rowland tweeted, and I quote, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me in just two hours. Her tweet had spawned thirteen hundred replies. It took less than three hours for her to follow up with. I don’t think I trust this is weird. The reason I’m laughing is because if you’ve been into crypto for over two years, I. I give you even a year and a half. You know how intense this space can be. If you scream out, Bitcoin is garbage, Bikash is the true Bitcoin. You’re going to get some really strong responses if you send out a message. SRP is better than Bitcoin and like coin proved me wrong. You’re gonna get responses back. So all I could imagine when I read the title. Was at people to simply bombarded her with so many things, tearing her down and then to even read to her say, I don’t think I trust this because you you know how people are within the cryptocurrency space. So I think if I was if it was my first day in crypto and I and I wrote on Anthony possibly on his page, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me. And I got thirteen hundred responses and I’m going to read out some of their responses as well. I think I would also probably not even think of trusting Bitcoin lurking below the Twitter surface. Is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and crypto day in and day out. That is the honest truth. Dying to use their netsch knowhow for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it and attempts to speak Rowlings language. It gets better, I promise. Many started comparing Bitcoin to the wizarding world from her books. Someone said, remember how he he who must not be named, play seven Hawe cruxes and different objects around the world in an attempt to immortalize himself so that no one, not even the Ministry of Magic, could stop him. Someone said that he who must not be named or Lord Voldemort thought it would be unlikely that anyone could find all seven Halk cruxes making him impervious to destruction. Similarly under the hood. Bitcoin is composed or comprised of thousands of nosed around the globe running the Bitcoin software, although the number might be decreasing. Who cares? It is hard to share what we’re talking about. J.K. Rowling. It is hard to shut down because all of these nodes need to be shut down at once to derail the online currency. Stephen Saying a researcher at crypto publication of The Block focused his Harry Potter metaphore on the goal of Bitcoin, giving users freedom to do as they please. He said Remember when Dobbie was freed by a sock? Bitcoin is that sock. I mean, it just keeps going on like people kept on, like the Philosopher’s Stone and all this other stuff. Why not just explain to her what Bitcoin is in simple terms? I’m sure this woman who wrote this book 30 years ago was reading these responses and was like, what the heck is everyone even talking about? On top of that, the also other news was that Elon Musk apparently decided to also chime in and told J.K. Rowling about how amazing Bitcoin was. But is it this is a two parter. Hang in there. He said pretty much. Although massive currency issuance by government, central banks is making Bitcoin Internet ghost money looked solid by comparison. Once again, no one actually explained to J.K. Rowling what Bitcoin was. She said people are now explaining Bitcoin to me and honestly, it’s blah, blah, blah, collectibles, My Little Pony, blah, blah, blah. Computers got one of those blah, blah, blah. Crypto sounds creepy. Blah, blah, blah. Understand the risk. I don’t, though, because no one we we we make the mistake often being in the cryptocurrency space of just simply not simply easily explaining something to someone. Now, many friends I’ve had who’ve tried looking at my channel and they don’t understand the thing. I mean, first of all, the channels made for intermediate to low level advanced, like, you have to have been here for a while to really get the channels on a an introductory kind of channel. But it is that same exact thing like you. I talk to all of you as if you know what. 256 is or what the e what what proof of stake. And this is like you you get these terms. You also know what securities are. Anyone come into the channel with simply does go away though. I don’t know what of this stuff is. No one explained it to her. Everyone gave her Harry Potter references. Elon Musk is talking about Bitcoin, Internet ghost money, looking solid by comparison. Also, the two parter for that one. For those of you not looking at the screen, the title of this article is Elon Musk Drops Bitcoin Bomb on J.K. Rowling. Bitcoin is solid compared to fiat money. He never said any of those words. He said the words solid. He he referenced Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money for those of you who’ve never heard that, that was a very big thing in 2014, 15 and 16, where people used to say that Bitcoin was magical ghost Internet money, that no one could see it, no one understood it, and therefore was his relatively unknown entity that was kind of floating around this that just simply worked. He said Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money looks solid by comparison. He didn’t call Bitcoin solid. He did say that Bitcoin was a new world currency. He simply said by comparison, goes to money, looks solid to all the issuance by central government banks. Very weird because through multiple different articles on the Internet, they constantly made reference to the fact that Elon Musk had spoken about Bitcoin. Well, I think the third time, third or fourth time this year, and this time he used the word solid to talk about Bitcoin. He didn’t learn learn how to read English and stop trying to misconstrue things to make them sound better. The point is, this is my favorite thing. I was I was I was making some tea. I read this and I laughed for a good 20 minutes. I don’t if you heard the the optimism in my voice before I started this video is because I had had so much joy in my heart, just thinking chemo came. People in the cryptocurrency space leave now because of how insane the cryptocurrency space is and how like. The word is intense. How intense people can get because of, you know, how intense crypto Twitter is. So I just imagine J.K. Rowling sitting at home wrapped up in a blanket, like drinking some tea, just not understanding, like, what the heck are these people talking about? That’s my favorite news story. And then Elon Musk saying the word solid, which also got people riled up. I mean, why, why, why? Why is there a picture of money? Why is there a woman who has her finger nails done holding up a hundred dollar? Well, let’s start with Krypto. What’s going on? What’s going on, guys? Like what? What am I missing? Why the woods? What’s happening in this space? What what is this picture? If there was a photo of Elon Musk, I would get it. Or Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling at an event standing side by side, it would have made a bit more sense. There’s a woman wearing jeans, holding hundred dollar bills. Anyway. There’s a reason why it’s called news, I missed it. There’s a huge reason. Let us move on. And also other news, Jarrett Tate, the founder of Deji Bite, announced that he will be stepping aside from day to day operations due to the greed and rampant pillaging of the cryptocurrency industry. Tate announced his departure from the front end of the crypto space on his Twitter page on the 15th of May. After eight years in the industry, wow, he had this to say about his experiences. He said, all along the way, I have learned some very humble lessons. Number one of which is greed is the fundamental driving force in crypto and people’s actions in life, end quote. It took him eight years to learn that eight years that we all did that I knew took him eight years. Tate said he doesn’t speak for everyone involved with did you? Right. Which he proclaims that the original values of the crypto industry have disappeared. We’ve gone over that as well. The old old crypto is completely gone. Tait’s noted that all 90 percent of the people care about is cashing out. When one of their coins moons. And that’s because boys and girls for everyone listening, I wanna tell you a secret about the cryptocurrency space. Hope you’re listening. Remember these words. Ninety nine percent of the cryptocurrency market is garbage. Did you hear me? Rubbish. Terrible. No use. There’s no need for these coins and people know that in the back of their head, no matter how much you tell yourself. Listen, I’ll be out. I’ll be frank with you and I’ll even level with you. I’ll even I’ll even say that I understand you. I get why people try to pump their coins in the comment section I get while other people are fighting. I get why. So am I and I get it. I don’t agree with it. However, when people try to pump their coins, it’s because they know that they’re holding garbage and they’re doing anything that they can in their power to make sure that the prices of these coins go up so that they can moon and that they can cash out, because in the very beginning he’d heed my words. People got into some of the worst coins in the cryptocurrency space trying to make a rapid quick buck. This is why they did. These other channels are flourishing once again. I’ve I’ve I’ve never been so shocked in my entire life, honestly, on a on an average day. My videos get anywhere from 13 to 18 thousand views, give or take. They fluctuate back and forth. And I and I simply give you the news. I tell you the reality of the cryptocurrency space. I don’t sugarcoat anything. If something looks like garbage, I’m going to tell you it’s garbage. The other channels that have come out of the woodworks or have started reposting videos. These channels are getting one hundred and sixteen thousand views a day. Eighty five thousand views a day. Their channels. One of them. What was it like a couple of days ago? It was like chart shows bitcoin hitting one hundred thousand very soon. Are you in the market? All these things. Everything right now almost knocked over a picture frame. Everything just go away. Everything right now in the cryptocurrency space. Has to exclusively do with people trying to make sure that their coins are no one are hyped up, are pumped up so that the prices can go up and they can cash out. People know that they’re holding garbage. And I’m sad that it took the the founder of Deji by eight years to figure this out. And in the end in the beginning, in the long, long ago, in the beginning of the cryptocurrency space, things were not as they were right now. Things were a lot calmer than we we we had the idea of of of the whole Lambeau culture. But that also came from the greedy aspect of what is now a huge force within the cryptocurrency space. Before that, the idea was to decouple the entire world from fiat currencies. We know that Bitcoin is slow, but we know that eventually Bitcoin will get upgraded. We can do this and make sure that Bitcoin stands as the the the the the totem pole. And therefore, if everyone touches the totem pole, gains it’s knowledge, we can all move on from fiat currencies. This is when the other coins I’m in, I and I. My my brain won’t let me go through eight years of Krypto life to name all the coins, we had so many copies of Bitcoin starting to pop up and. I don’t even consider light coin to be a necessary copy like coin was created more so as as a like a literal silver literal silver to Bitcoin’s gold. It was meant to be. And then eventually it became this kind of test net, which is totally fine when you’re trying to protect the main core, as it were, for Bitcoin. What happened over the last couple of years, and I’ve mentioned this on several other occasions, the Andes, the old idea of decentralization is is is completely gone. The cryptocurrency space has allowed itself to become corrupted by not only greed, but also institutions. Remember before when institutions and Griese and Bank and all this other stuff were very bad things, and now people loud to them and praise them on a crypto Twitter. I’m so glad the JP Morgan’s getting into this. I’m so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I understand. I’m also an investor for those of you who were unaware. I’m I’m also into the into the money aspect because I want security in my life. However, the fact that this person just got to the point that I mean, it’s the same exact reason, like we we logically don’t need multiple Bitcoin. If you feel in your heart that Bitcoin, the core is too slow. You create a side chain that runs inside it and you allow these new upgrades to run on said PSI chain, you’d leave the core alone and you build on the outside to make Bitcoin stronger. The BSA vs the B cashes the B gold’s the B diamonds, the B, everything else. These are all unneeded coins and I’ll even go so far as to say did you buy it also isn’t a coin that’s needed. I keep seeing people over and over talking about how it’s just in the comment section. I know these people are trying to hype up the coin and I’m I’m not even half remotely sad that I’m being honest with all of you. It’s just really how things are. I mean, that so many coins in the space, we have no need for them. They’re never going to do anything. A lot of people bought these coins in expectations years ago that these coins were going to rocket and moon. I have a friend. I don’t think he’s watching. But if you are. When he got into the cryptocurrency space, I said, focus on a couple of coins. He went OK and bought a whole bunch of other coins, which I will not name. These coins are doing terrible. And I mean, terrible, terrible, like, bad, terrible. And all I see every single day is him trying to make sure that other people know about how great his garbage is that he bought. Eventually, when the prices go up, can you guess what he plans on doing? He plans on selling because people realizing you all of you realize and for those of you who say you don’t realize, I’m going to tell you, you’re going to realize sometime in the future, you have probably purchased garbage. You are holding onto garbage. You need to at some point get rid of that garbage. And I hope that the next cryptocurrency Bullrun, that not even if we even don’t reach previous highs, that we go five cents over the previous highs of where we were and that you have a chance to cash out and then re-evaluate your portfolio. And I mean that with the most honest words I can possibly comprise together of all the words in the English language. Total honesty. Of course, people in the cryptocurrency space are greedy. So many. Why do you think we have all these coins? Why do you think we have all these other people trying to mimic and make all these other things? You’ve seen all the other cryptocurrency changes that have shut down all the crypto startups, the AI CEOs, the SVO is and have come and gone. There was no need for these things. I told all of you years ago, I remember I had other videos I would show you Web sites, these people talking about. They had made in Bitcoin, our coin is five times faster in the Bitcoin, where the new so and so sign up for this. Do this. Make your money by this. And I’m I beat these coins won’t be around. Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Modern investor, your garbage investor. No. OK. Sure. I got it. Like I said and like I say. Oh, you’ll all get it at some point. There’s a reason why the market mainly focuses on three coins. That’s not to say that there may not be eight other coins circling around those three that could potentially do well in the future. But at least five of those eight are not. The other three are going to be sitting on the sidelines. They’ll they’ll be successful companies, but people won’t be using them. I’m I’m sad that it took this man. Eighty years to figure this out, he added. It’s a primal force. I get that. But every day I see this tech being used to enrich the few at the expense of the long term. Good of the many. He said making a quick buck is not why block chain matters. It’s not at all. But the entire idea of block, chain and cryptocurrency has gone out the window. Cryptocurrency has allowed itself to become easily hyper corrupted by banks and institutions who now own the entire space. Remember, remember what I said about two years ago? I said when the people from the Nasdaq. And the New York Stock Exchange. And Fidelity and the Winklevoss and all these other people are holding thousands, tens of thousands of Bitcoin. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. I think I’m pretty sure the Winklevoss hold in two thousand thirteen. They had at least two hundred thousand Bitcoin. One can only assume they probably have a lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot more. When these people stay the richest people on the planet and become even richer in the future, we can’t get upset at them because we we’ve allowed them to corrupt the space. This is why I mentioned before. For those people who don’t even have a fraction of a Bitcoin in their portfolio and are never going to buy Bitcoin, I, i in in in in 20 years. We’ll have a digital virtual conference in some sort of way. And I’ll let you know, I’ll let you explain to me why you just simply did not buy Bitcoin and how great that’s going for you. Like I said, not being mean, but you have to understand, this place is just. It’s Guards’. It’s gonna be full of greed. It’s a monetary market. Wait, wait, wait. What did this person think was gonna happen by the time Bitcoin had value? This is why for those of you who didn’t do a history lesson, why Satoshi Nakamoto left the space. There were people who he trusted to kind of continue building this in the background. One of the people I think went to the US government and was going to, like, show them how great Bitcoin was. And Satoshi was like, what are you doing? The guy was going there for profit because he probably thought, I know I blew this guy, probably thought he could sell off some Bitcoin or sell off the actual infrastructure to the US government. We have the tools and the means to get away from the old system. But people don’t care. People care about the integration with the old system. And that’s why the news has become the integration with the old system. How to make the old system great. No one’s using swift while there’s a new form of swift. No one’s using so and so where there’s a new form of this. You’re a computer’s not working well. It is integrated into ours as opposed to creating our own space. But we we’ve we’ve we’ve we’ve come far too far. We now have billionaires who own Bitcoin. I’m sure they’re telling their billionaires and or mega millionaire friends to also buy a Bitcoin. These people will own all the Bitcoin in the future. Fifteen years from now, you know, like when we get those really weird, crazy, wacky price predictions of a bitcoin price in twenty, twenty eight and twenty thirty two of being multi million dollars per bitcoin. Think of in the future how many people around the world are just not simply going to hold. Because they’ve bought all these other coins. It’s insane to think about the opportunities that people had. I remember shouting from the rooftop, Buy Bitcoin, it’s two hundred dollars. No. No one listened by Bitcoin is twelve hundred dollars. Bitcoin has dropped from twenty thousand dollars. Have you accumulated Bitcoin? No Bitcoin bitcoins at three thousand five hundred. Why would I want to buy Bitcoin? OK, cool. The point is, of course, the space is full of greed. Of course, it’s a fundamental driving growth or factor or force. We live in a world. Where money rules everything around us. Have we ever heard of cream c r e m Googled the word cream money or C dot r dot e dot a dot m. And you’ll you’ll get it. I’m sure a lot of people know exactly what cream is. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, mister. Did you bite founder that you realized it. It took this man eight years. All these people do is create new coins in an effort to make money from them. This is why it’s also very confusing. Sometimes when you see a lot of these coins that no one’s using have market valuations in the hundreds of millions of billions of dollars. What’s that? Did they they’ve created money out of thin air and people bought it. Remember last year and the year before that, all the conferences we were talking about that were taking place in Russia and other places like that? Like I told you, my friends showed me how he sent me the Instagram stories. These people having multi hundred people conferences in Russia creating like Bitcoin do to do like it was a weird name after it. And these people, they were asking these people that they were going up to them with microphones. How much did you put into the market today? I put fifteen thousand. I think it’s gonna do really well. These coins probably didn’t even exist, these were all scams and the people who ran these scams. Are now somewhere in paradise. They now have tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for the time when they can make their next scam. I know people won’t listen. I know some of you will listen. But I know the vast majority, 99 percent have either clicked the way already, have left a dislike, have left a bad comment or think I’m absolutely insane. And I tell you these things because I’ve been here before. I said this in another video. I know you won’t listen at this point. It kind of is what it is. If you keep buying crappy coins in the future, you’re gonna have a crappy portfolio. Just letting you know and also being sick of the greed that’s the market now. That’s that’s just is what it is. You’ve you’ve seen the comments section. You’ve seen Krypto Twitter, you’ve seen all of it. People are very what’s the word tribalistic in the cryptocurrency space because everyone drank the Kool-Aid in a different corner. Everyone ran to a corner, drank that Kool-Aid, and now they scream at other people, you should be drinking my Kool-Aid when they know it tasted terrible. It was bitter. It was horrible. They didn’t like it. But you have to convince other people, hey, mine is mine is better. I come over to my side and the other people come over. They also taste it and go, Oh. Buy this one, buy this one, because they also bought into the madness. Well, all these coins of garbage there are there are maybe five coins that have any real purpose. And I’m not talking about any staking any delegated proof of stake, any other crappy coins like that. Very few coins are actually going to be used in the future anyway. Yeah, sorry. Did you buy it, founder? I hope you understand now that the place is just about greed and money does. Yeah. Cream anyway. Let’s move on. Next up, Metallic Budarin is in the news in a series of tweets, Imperium co-founder Vitaly Budarin gave a nod of approval to competing block chain EOS with regard to the neach they are trying to carve out. He said, if I were designing a new chain to go live along a Bitcoin, any theory theorem, I would. Oh, that’s a that’s a very bad sign. Whenever someone says those words, that means that they’re slightly planning it in the background. I would take all the political tradeoffs that Bitcoin and ether aren’t willing to take, Budarin said in a May 15th tweet, referring to, of course, Bitcoin and ether because he said BTC and Ethe listed by Coin Telegraph as a fifth most influential person in crypto really and block chain Budarin and hold significant weight in the industry, Budarin noted. Quadratic voting, based on unchanged governance and all built into cryptographic procedures, are tradeoffs of interest. He also included on chain oracles for all events. Instead of ones that simply relay price moves. Budiman also mentioned potentially adding some form of identification on the network, perhaps even an on chain model of identity, at least for participants who want to participate, participate, participate in governance. Non governing actors will still be fully anonymous, he said, although he specified constructing the feature smarter than other current platforms. He said, This is why I actually have some respect for iOS and Co.. I disagree with delegated proof of stake, but at least they are trying to develop a cohesive and principled alternative niche, he added, referring to the delegated proof of stake block chain framework. That’s also news. Yeah. Vitaly Budarin said he has some respect for iOS. The Internet ran away with it. This is not listen. So a couple of other times before, it wasn’t Budarin. But there have been other people, other big wigs, big names in the cryptocurrency space who have mentioned that if they were to create a new chain, that they would do it like this. I redis very them. The bureau has already said before in the past that at some point he plans on stepping away from Ethiopia. Theory. He said, is no time soon. But he wants it to be as decentralized as possible. He doesn’t want to have the sway and the weight that he currently holds within the cryptocurrency space. Charlie Lee has said the same thing. I guess Nakamoto said it in 2009, 2010, because he’s gone. And so have many other people who have leadership role. So it does kind of make sense. I really hope he doesn’t make a new chain because it’s just kind of like, oh, no, no, no, no. But yeah. Vitaly Budarin tipped his digital hat towards iOS four delegates, proof of stake. And that also made news because this is news that I missed. There’s usually a reason why I missed it at. John McAfee. Is in the news today. John McAfee’s goes to cryptocurrency, teasers out who and the privacy focused coin is ready for its worldwide debut. I was hoping this would happen. The millionaire entrepreneur has just informed the world, thank goodness, about his latest crypto offering called Ghost that focuses on individual privacy. The tweet featured the white paper launch for the upcoming coin. It says, Yes, money signed Ghost White Paper coming out today, 8:00 p.m. Central. No, I will say nothing in advance. Dot, dot, dot, maybe. Dot, dot, dot. I’ll put it out half an hour earlier. Dot. Or maybe not. Said John McAfee on the 15th of May. Twitter Roddie has responded with enthusiasm, really about the John McAfee ghost cryptocurrency white paper. Soon the tweet was flooded with queries and congratulations. Why? This is the third coin he’s made. John McAfee has made other coins before. Am I the only one who, like, pays attention to the day to day of the cryptocurrency space? John McAfee has made other coins before. He’s also promoted tons of crappy coins before. A lot of you have probably lost money because that because of John McAfee. John McAfee was the scam promoter in 2017. Type in John McAfee, IFCO 2017. He promoted a new coin a day, a day, not every other day, not once a week, every single day on his Twitter. John McAfee was promoting a different coin. And John McAfee had the stop because the S.E.C. was like, what? What are you doing? He was he was also getting paid. I think I think I think the rumors were the rumors were between 50 to one hundred thousand dollars per coin. And he never disclosed it. And people just thought that he actually logit had a new coin of the day. Same exact thing. There’s another crypto tuber who is the same exact way. I’m not going to say names. You know exactly who I’m talking about. He also remember 2017. This guy said it’s really weird that all these scammers are popping back up and people are following them. It’s the weirdest thing in the entire world. How many times do you have to be burned to understand that that that the oven is hot? Stop touching it. You know that these people are scammers. You know that these people. John McAfee has made multiple coins. He has promoted multiple scams before in the past. Why would any why why would why would you continue following nine? You know how many views? Ninety five thousand of uses for a scam. Remember the other day when we were talking about all those people? Who are watching those scams? If you give me one hundred X Arpey, I’ll give you back a thousand. And why why they’re so popular. What is going on in the world that people just don’t. Is it? It’s called common sense. Like what is? And I didn’t even make a joke. I was gonna make a joke, like, send me a Bitcoin, I’ll send you 10, because I know that at some point somebody would send me a Bitcoin like, hey, TMI, never send me back my ten bitcoin. Like, what do you what do you think is happening in the world? Is it is. It is. The white paper will launch at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. The public will have full access to all technical details regarding the coin. This is not his first coin. His other coins have flopped. No one won. I think it was actually like a I think it was called McAfee coin. No one’s going to use these coins. I swear to actual goodness, if anyone in this channel puts their money into this coin that no one is going to use. And you use you lose your money. Please only blame yourself. No one else. Tell your friend, tell a family member, tell your dog, stop it. Stop buying these crappy coins. There’s no there’s no there’s no point in the near future. Were any institution, any bank, any anything? Is not only going to be adding ghost to their cryptocurrency exchange, they’re not going to be custody ing ghost. And they’re not going to be buying ghost. John McAfee is releasing a new coin. If it even ends up launching the white paper as launching, if the actual coin gets off the floor. Who knows? None of you should hold this in the first place. And to finish things off, Ripple Partners, Bibi or SBI Holdings says it plans to use a Ripple’s payments technology to make it easier for people in Japan to access a.T.M. Well, that’s so nice of them. In its latest yearly fiscal reports. The financial services company says it’s working to integrate its ripple powered payments. Settlement money app, tap tap money app app money tap with eight teams runs by various banks across the country. The move could make it easier for users to access their phones at any time, regardless of bank affiliation. Wow. I mean, that’s that sounds futuristic. SBI says the project could also improve the bottom line for banks. Always important because banks are banks themselves by reducing operating costs. They said currently each bank has an atom with its own bank app, but with a common web app, these same atom may be used or jointly operated by a multi bank. Adam, that sounds interesting. It’s almost as if we didn’t need a Tam’s anymore. We simply could just use cryptocurrency. Hmm hmm. I guess not. Maybe a couple more years. SBI aims to roll out money tap to a bank consortium that’s led by SBI Ripple Asia. The consortium currently has 61 banks operating or representing about 80 percent of all bank assets in Japan. In September of last year, SBI Holdings President Yoshitaka Cartel was quoted as saying that the app, which is fully licensed by Japanese regulators, would utilize Ripple’s native cryptocurrency Zerk in the future. Wonderful. I love the idea of more a.T.M, especially when I don’t even use an A.T.M.. No one my age uses cash anymore. I don’t know if you still use cash. Everyone I know taps their cards, lives their card or just simply orders online. I guess there are tons of people who do use atoms so cool that they’re gonna be using Ripple’s payment network. For that, no explicit words on them using. I assume SERP will be used somewhere in the background because for those of you who don’t know, REPL is actually partnered with nearly every single bank in Japan. So at some point I’m ex Arpey is going to be heavily used. But for this news that was also everywhere, it kind of all over the place. S.P.I is going to be using REPL. I mean, I’m shocked. Are you? I mean, I’ve never seen the affiliation before side. I just simply did not expect this to happen. Anyway. As always, a very special thank you to my patriot and supporters, reviser Walli, from going to my university utopia.

And thank you to everyone who has a clicker of affiliate links. SAT the momento. The cryptocurrency market looks in saying, I saw a couple of articles. First of all, Bitcoin is down currently by two point one three percent. I saw a couple of articles talking about that Bitcoin was on its way back down to seven. The Bears had taken control and therefore it was time for the market to kind of hold on. I don’t think we’re going back down to 7000. I could see a slipping slightly below nine thousand for a couple of seconds in a coordinated move to acquire more. Lower than nine thousand dollar Bitcoin. But at the moment, fundamentals look great. The fluctuations are absolutely insane. And once again, if you’ve been day trading kudo’s to you, because these movements are moneymakers, that’s not me telling you to go day. Trade is more like a if you’re already in it and you know what to do, therefore keep on doing it. Me? Yeah. The market looks crazy. Nothing. And what if the price of did you buy it went up because the founder was like, nope, I’m gone. I’m Hyperion is up by 15 percent. Wow. That’s twenty four million dollars worth of trading volume. That is. I mean, that’s more than any other coin I’ve never seen. Twenty four million per coin. I simply my mind can’t take it. I don’t know what to do with that 24 million faders up one 19 million synthetics is up on one million. Really, really strong, strong trading, trading, trading volumes right now going around. For those of you who could not hear in my voice that was sarcasm. I do hope you all enjoyed. I mean, I enjoyed the the the J.K. Rowling one. Hope you all enjoyed. Hope you all are having a great day of mourning. A great afternoon. A great evening. Wherever you are. Where ever you might be. I do hope that it was ab. So lewdly. Fantastic. Thank you all once again for watching and or listening. And I will most definitely. Certainly, hopefully probably. We’ll be talking to you all soon. See you.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hello, everybody. We’ll go back for another video. Hope you’re all doing well and that you’re all having an incredible day. We’ll go back for another news I missed. Where I go over. News I missed. Hedge fund manager Matt D’Souza thinks patience is the key for Bitcoin holders looking to capitalize on the having. And De Souza was also the co-founder and CEO of the crypto mining operator Block, where Solutions says it’s not the time to day trade. He said, and I do quote, In 2016, Bitcoin rallied sixty seven percent into having corrected 33 percent and bottomed within three weeks, only to begin a 17 month bull market in 2020. We didn’t have a rally going into the having as we recovered losses from the global market meltdown. The fundamentals for Bitcoin have never been better. Things are typically buy the news, sell the rumor events and 20 20, I expect a shallower sell off than 2016. We already corrected by 20 percent and only one two five. Oh, there we go. One point five to three week duration, Max. Now is the time to be patient and hold, not day trade. Sorry for screaming. The big money is in the sitting. What in capturing this. People use weird phrases. Big money is in the sitting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my entire English career ever. And capturing the cycle. Never heard that either, end quote. Does Susan note that the Fed is recklessly printing money which will create negative interest rates? He also says 16 percent of miners have now shut off, giving BTC a better environment to rally. And it’s not just post having developments that could create a bullish environment for crypto trader and analyst Luke Martin says Bitcoin is also currently decoupling from the stock market. And there’s his tweet right there, which probably just says what I just said. In mid-March, when Bitcoin collapsed hand-in-hand with equities, many analysts expressed doubt about the assets ability to serve as a hedge on traditional finance. But that’s no longer the case, according to Martin Shaw. There were about 15000 other price predictions that I was going to throw into the video. But I was like, no, not today. I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll not do that. Everyone seems to be thinking the same thing. I mean, as far as hedge fund managers, crypto enthusiasts, you kind of name it, everyone’s expecting that this having will be different and therefore things will be different in the next couple of weeks. I mean, you’ve you’ve seen the news that we’ve been going over the last couple of days. Everyone has their own ideas as to what could potentially be happening in the near future with the cryptocurrency market and exactly what’s going to be happening with Bitcoin. A lot of people are expecting that Bitcoin had to go down before the having an order for it to go up later on. We have seen historically it’s only been two other ones before this one that Bitcoin tends to dip and then move on up a bit higher. But Bitcoin, as they say, has never been tested in such a manner. The other two having there wasn’t a worldwide economic crisis and governments were not printing trillions of dollars in order to kind of mitigate losses and or prop up things that should not be propped up. So, yeah, that’s absolutely wonderful that another really rich person thinks that things are going to get better with the cryptocurrency space. I said that, ironically enough, if you could hear the tone of my voice, I say things like that sometimes in the video. People like How dare you side with the banks? And it’s like, come let listen to listen to the tone of my voice and how I am. I am currently talking to see that I am being. Facetious, but. Then I’m flying anyway. That’s the Bitcoin. I mean, like like I’ve mentioned before and many other times in the past, rich people have a very strong grasp on the cryptocurrency market. They have been in the market for a while. I think they were all like literally waiting for this having to take place. They’d be like, oh, my stars. Bitcoin’s amazing. It’s because they know mathematically that stuff is going to get real very soon. And that it is kind of spreading the good word, as it were. Let’s move on. Next up, where are the words? Jeez Louise. There we go. The lackluster response following Bitcoin’s third having has left many in the cryptocurrency community scratching their heads over why the event did and trigger the next crypto market monsters rally. Not really. It’s just people who don’t understand Bitcoin is having a once every four year event is said to be bullish for the pioneer cryptocurrency as it reduces the number of new Bitcoin minted on a daily basis by slashing the rewards. Mind per block. WellPoint five six point five. You already know all hope is not lost. And you’ll see exactly where I’m going with this as well, because I’m noticing a very new trend. It says all hope is not lost with they’re having now in the rearview mirror. Investors are searching for the next catalyst that will drive the crypto markets higher, according to a top analyst. The imminent launch of a Theory M 2.0, an update that will introduce a higher transaction throughput and a new consensus model under proof of stake will make a much more profound. A fact there we go on the crypto markets than the recently completed BTC, having Ryan Watkins, an analyst for Mazari, recently explained why he thinks Ethe 2.0 will provide a much stronger effect on crypto prices. In a tweet a few days ago, Watkins noted that while the having was a pre-programmed and thus predictable Ethe 2.0 was an uncertain and fundamental change. And that’s what I just said right there. And that’s also in the tweet. The Ethe 2.0 release date has been delayed for the longest time. It’s been about 16 years now. That was also a joke, mostly due to the extreme techno tatlock teeny tiny technicality. Wow of the project Ethe Dewpoint. Those launch was initially slated for the 30th of July because we all we all saw that date mentioned before. However, Metallic Budarin recently posted, hoisted posted that the date could be pushed further to an undisclosed date in quarter three of twenty. Now keep that date in mind as well, you know, and explain in a tweet on Friday why the delay is necessary rather than rushing to launch Ethe 2.0 for those of you who did not see. He said pretty much he thinks it should be slow and steady and he doesn’t want to make any mistakes. He said, What do we do now? Will echo through crypto history for the next couple of decades. And therefore he wants to make sure the E Theorem 2.0 is perfect, perfect instead of slightly perfect before it gets released. That was his explanation. So we don’t even have to go over all of that. If you look at the title of the article, it says, Why upcoming Ethe 2.0 could propel a bigger extended market rally? This one says, In theory, I’m decouples from Bitcoin as having pressure sets in. This one says Alt coins like a theory may soon benefit from institutions rushing to buy Bitcoin. And this one says Imperium 2.0, is what could bring a major turnaround for Ethe to the U.S. dollar. I woke up today finding thousands, not thousands, like 15 articles I’m all talking about. Theorem. For some reason with B having behind this and this is why I mentioned before. Don’t assume that simply people who are not within the cryptocurrency space don’t understand what Bitcoin having actually represent and how significant they are to the cryptocurrency space and also to the price of Bitcoin, to the actual issuance rate of crypto currencies in general. As we move into a more deflationary cryptocurrency world, a lot of different websites started poking their head out just exclusively talking about a theory about how amazing it theorem is. Not saying that a theorem is not amazing, awesome, cool, funky, fly fresh, however, just seems a little bit weird that all the attention has seemingly moves to Aegerion Cerium 2.0 now. And I assume of the next couple of weeks we are going to be bombarded with a theorem is amazing articles until and I say this probably around the time we end up hitting Ethereum 2.0. I’m aiming for August, September of 2022. That was also a joke. Lot of jokes today around this year, probably August. September is when this will probably phase zero us in the face. Then at that point, I assume some other type of news will have come about for some other coin, who is also going to have a having a doubling a for thing or something else will come out and they’ll kind of take all of the attention. And then when he Theorem 2.0 does get released and the price doesn’t skyrocket by thirteen thousand percent. Like many people, I assume, are assuming it’s going to happen. We’ll start to get articles the same exact way. Why isn’t Bitcoin going up? Why is any theory I’m going of? Why is it like coin going up? We see them over and over and over. I find it weird, isn’t it? I don’t wanna say that there’s no loyalty within the cryptocurrency space, but you kind of get what I’m saying. It’s kind of odd. I don’t know if these were always I love you theory and Web sites or simply now they are poking their heads out up, showing their true colors once again. There does not have to be one coin that rules them all. A lot of people think so. I think a market rally could come from any direction. I don’t think it’ll exclusively be Bitcoin that causes everything to skyrocket into the bazillions. It could be someone who wins the lotto and they’re like, I got an extra 14 million. Let’s buy up this coin. It could be a million. And one things. However. It appears that analysts are even more bullish than before on a theorem. I think it’s perfectly natural to be OK with your theory M 2.0 or be excited about it, especially when we talk about the issuance rate in this taking and then all the other stuff that we don’t have to go over again. It was kind of weird that there were so many different websites out there who were all talking and discussing about how amazing each theorem was around the same exact time. Are also more of these. I just I just chose these four because they had the nicest colors. Anyway. Probably my my most. Favorite. News story in a while. For those of you not looking at the screen, even the title, even the title gets me. It says that J.K. Rowling asks about Bitcoin accursed crypto Twitter scares her off. Jake, J.K. Rowling probably wasn’t expecting to unleash the Bitcoin community’s pent up passion and imagination when she tweeted two sentences asking about Bitcoin. But the author of Harry Potter series did. Responding to a tweet from Quoin Desk, senior reporter Ly Kyun Rowland tweeted, and I quote, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me in just two hours. Her tweet had spawned thirteen hundred replies. It took less than three hours for her to follow up with. I don’t think I trust this is weird. The reason I’m laughing is because if you’ve been into crypto for over two years, I. I give you even a year and a half. You know how intense this space can be. If you scream out, Bitcoin is garbage, Bikash is the true Bitcoin. You’re going to get some really strong responses if you send out a message. SRP is better than Bitcoin and like coin proved me wrong. You’re gonna get responses back. So all I could imagine when I read the title. Was at people to simply bombarded her with so many things, tearing her down and then to even read to her say, I don’t think I trust this because you you know how people are within the cryptocurrency space. So I think if I was if it was my first day in crypto and I and I wrote on Anthony possibly on his page, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me. And I got thirteen hundred responses and I’m going to read out some of their responses as well. I think I would also probably not even think of trusting Bitcoin lurking below the Twitter surface. Is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and crypto day in and day out. That is the honest truth. Dying to use their netsch knowhow for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it and attempts to speak Rowlings language. It gets better, I promise. Many started comparing Bitcoin to the wizarding world from her books. Someone said, remember how he he who must not be named, play seven Hawe cruxes and different objects around the world in an attempt to immortalize himself so that no one, not even the Ministry of Magic, could stop him. Someone said that he who must not be named or Lord Voldemort thought it would be unlikely that anyone could find all seven Halk cruxes making him impervious to destruction. Similarly under the hood. Bitcoin is composed or comprised of thousands of nosed around the globe running the Bitcoin software, although the number might be decreasing. Who cares? It is hard to share what we’re talking about. J.K. Rowling. It is hard to shut down because all of these nodes need to be shut down at once to derail the online currency. Stephen Saying a researcher at crypto publication of The Block focused his Harry Potter metaphore on the goal of Bitcoin, giving users freedom to do as they please. He said Remember when Dobbie was freed by a sock? Bitcoin is that sock. I mean, it just keeps going on like people kept on, like the Philosopher’s Stone and all this other stuff. Why not just explain to her what Bitcoin is in simple terms? I’m sure this woman who wrote this book 30 years ago was reading these responses and was like, what the heck is everyone even talking about? On top of that, the also other news was that Elon Musk apparently decided to also chime in and told J.K. Rowling about how amazing Bitcoin was. But is it this is a two parter. Hang in there. He said pretty much. Although massive currency issuance by government, central banks is making Bitcoin Internet ghost money looked solid by comparison. Once again, no one actually explained to J.K. Rowling what Bitcoin was. She said people are now explaining Bitcoin to me and honestly, it’s blah, blah, blah, collectibles, My Little Pony, blah, blah, blah. Computers got one of those blah, blah, blah. Crypto sounds creepy. Blah, blah, blah. Understand the risk. I don’t, though, because no one we we we make the mistake often being in the cryptocurrency space of just simply not simply easily explaining something to someone. Now, many friends I’ve had who’ve tried looking at my channel and they don’t understand the thing. I mean, first of all, the channels made for intermediate to low level advanced, like, you have to have been here for a while to really get the channels on a an introductory kind of channel. But it is that same exact thing like you. I talk to all of you as if you know what. 256 is or what the e what what proof of stake. And this is like you you get these terms. You also know what securities are. Anyone come into the channel with simply does go away though. I don’t know what of this stuff is. No one explained it to her. Everyone gave her Harry Potter references. Elon Musk is talking about Bitcoin, Internet ghost money, looking solid by comparison. Also, the two parter for that one. For those of you not looking at the screen, the title of this article is Elon Musk Drops Bitcoin Bomb on J.K. Rowling. Bitcoin is solid compared to fiat money. He never said any of those words. He said the words solid. He he referenced Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money for those of you who’ve never heard that, that was a very big thing in 2014, 15 and 16, where people used to say that Bitcoin was magical ghost Internet money, that no one could see it, no one understood it, and therefore was his relatively unknown entity that was kind of floating around this that just simply worked. He said Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money looks solid by comparison. He didn’t call Bitcoin solid. He did say that Bitcoin was a new world currency. He simply said by comparison, goes to money, looks solid to all the issuance by central government banks. Very weird because through multiple different articles on the Internet, they constantly made reference to the fact that Elon Musk had spoken about Bitcoin. Well, I think the third time, third or fourth time this year, and this time he used the word solid to talk about Bitcoin. He didn’t learn learn how to read English and stop trying to misconstrue things to make them sound better. The point is, this is my favorite thing. I was I was I was making some tea. I read this and I laughed for a good 20 minutes. I don’t if you heard the the optimism in my voice before I started this video is because I had had so much joy in my heart, just thinking chemo came. People in the cryptocurrency space leave now because of how insane the cryptocurrency space is and how like. The word is intense. How intense people can get because of, you know, how intense crypto Twitter is. So I just imagine J.K. Rowling sitting at home wrapped up in a blanket, like drinking some tea, just not understanding, like, what the heck are these people talking about? That’s my favorite news story. And then Elon Musk saying the word solid, which also got people riled up. I mean, why, why, why? Why is there a picture of money? Why is there a woman who has her finger nails done holding up a hundred dollar? Well, let’s start with Krypto. What’s going on? What’s going on, guys? Like what? What am I missing? Why the woods? What’s happening in this space? What what is this picture? If there was a photo of Elon Musk, I would get it. Or Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling at an event standing side by side, it would have made a bit more sense. There’s a woman wearing jeans, holding hundred dollar bills. Anyway. There’s a reason why it’s called news, I missed it. There’s a huge reason. Let us move on. And also other news, Jarrett Tate, the founder of Deji Bite, announced that he will be stepping aside from day to day operations due to the greed and rampant pillaging of the cryptocurrency industry. Tate announced his departure from the front end of the crypto space on his Twitter page on the 15th of May. After eight years in the industry, wow, he had this to say about his experiences. He said, all along the way, I have learned some very humble lessons. Number one of which is greed is the fundamental driving force in crypto and people’s actions in life, end quote. It took him eight years to learn that eight years that we all did that I knew took him eight years. Tate said he doesn’t speak for everyone involved with did you? Right. Which he proclaims that the original values of the crypto industry have disappeared. We’ve gone over that as well. The old old crypto is completely gone. Tait’s noted that all 90 percent of the people care about is cashing out. When one of their coins moons. And that’s because boys and girls for everyone listening, I wanna tell you a secret about the cryptocurrency space. Hope you’re listening. Remember these words. Ninety nine percent of the cryptocurrency market is garbage. Did you hear me? Rubbish. Terrible. No use. There’s no need for these coins and people know that in the back of their head, no matter how much you tell yourself. Listen, I’ll be out. I’ll be frank with you and I’ll even level with you. I’ll even I’ll even say that I understand you. I get why people try to pump their coins in the comment section I get while other people are fighting. I get why. So am I and I get it. I don’t agree with it. However, when people try to pump their coins, it’s because they know that they’re holding garbage and they’re doing anything that they can in their power to make sure that the prices of these coins go up so that they can moon and that they can cash out, because in the very beginning he’d heed my words. People got into some of the worst coins in the cryptocurrency space trying to make a rapid quick buck. This is why they did. These other channels are flourishing once again. I’ve I’ve I’ve never been so shocked in my entire life, honestly, on a on an average day. My videos get anywhere from 13 to 18 thousand views, give or take. They fluctuate back and forth. And I and I simply give you the news. I tell you the reality of the cryptocurrency space. I don’t sugarcoat anything. If something looks like garbage, I’m going to tell you it’s garbage. The other channels that have come out of the woodworks or have started reposting videos. These channels are getting one hundred and sixteen thousand views a day. Eighty five thousand views a day. Their channels. One of them. What was it like a couple of days ago? It was like chart shows bitcoin hitting one hundred thousand very soon. Are you in the market? All these things. Everything right now almost knocked over a picture frame. Everything just go away. Everything right now in the cryptocurrency space. Has to exclusively do with people trying to make sure that their coins are no one are hyped up, are pumped up so that the prices can go up and they can cash out. People know that they’re holding garbage. And I’m sad that it took the the founder of Deji by eight years to figure this out. And in the end in the beginning, in the long, long ago, in the beginning of the cryptocurrency space, things were not as they were right now. Things were a lot calmer than we we we had the idea of of of the whole Lambeau culture. But that also came from the greedy aspect of what is now a huge force within the cryptocurrency space. Before that, the idea was to decouple the entire world from fiat currencies. We know that Bitcoin is slow, but we know that eventually Bitcoin will get upgraded. We can do this and make sure that Bitcoin stands as the the the the the totem pole. And therefore, if everyone touches the totem pole, gains it’s knowledge, we can all move on from fiat currencies. This is when the other coins I’m in, I and I. My my brain won’t let me go through eight years of Krypto life to name all the coins, we had so many copies of Bitcoin starting to pop up and. I don’t even consider light coin to be a necessary copy like coin was created more so as as a like a literal silver literal silver to Bitcoin’s gold. It was meant to be. And then eventually it became this kind of test net, which is totally fine when you’re trying to protect the main core, as it were, for Bitcoin. What happened over the last couple of years, and I’ve mentioned this on several other occasions, the Andes, the old idea of decentralization is is is completely gone. The cryptocurrency space has allowed itself to become corrupted by not only greed, but also institutions. Remember before when institutions and Griese and Bank and all this other stuff were very bad things, and now people loud to them and praise them on a crypto Twitter. I’m so glad the JP Morgan’s getting into this. I’m so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I understand. I’m also an investor for those of you who were unaware. I’m I’m also into the into the money aspect because I want security in my life. However, the fact that this person just got to the point that I mean, it’s the same exact reason, like we we logically don’t need multiple Bitcoin. If you feel in your heart that Bitcoin, the core is too slow. You create a side chain that runs inside it and you allow these new upgrades to run on said PSI chain, you’d leave the core alone and you build on the outside to make Bitcoin stronger. The BSA vs the B cashes the B gold’s the B diamonds, the B, everything else. These are all unneeded coins and I’ll even go so far as to say did you buy it also isn’t a coin that’s needed. I keep seeing people over and over talking about how it’s just in the comment section. I know these people are trying to hype up the coin and I’m I’m not even half remotely sad that I’m being honest with all of you. It’s just really how things are. I mean, that so many coins in the space, we have no need for them. They’re never going to do anything. A lot of people bought these coins in expectations years ago that these coins were going to rocket and moon. I have a friend. I don’t think he’s watching. But if you are. When he got into the cryptocurrency space, I said, focus on a couple of coins. He went OK and bought a whole bunch of other coins, which I will not name. These coins are doing terrible. And I mean, terrible, terrible, like, bad, terrible. And all I see every single day is him trying to make sure that other people know about how great his garbage is that he bought. Eventually, when the prices go up, can you guess what he plans on doing? He plans on selling because people realizing you all of you realize and for those of you who say you don’t realize, I’m going to tell you, you’re going to realize sometime in the future, you have probably purchased garbage. You are holding onto garbage. You need to at some point get rid of that garbage. And I hope that the next cryptocurrency Bullrun, that not even if we even don’t reach previous highs, that we go five cents over the previous highs of where we were and that you have a chance to cash out and then re-evaluate your portfolio. And I mean that with the most honest words I can possibly comprise together of all the words in the English language. Total honesty. Of course, people in the cryptocurrency space are greedy. So many. Why do you think we have all these coins? Why do you think we have all these other people trying to mimic and make all these other things? You’ve seen all the other cryptocurrency changes that have shut down all the crypto startups, the AI CEOs, the SVO is and have come and gone. There was no need for these things. I told all of you years ago, I remember I had other videos I would show you Web sites, these people talking about. They had made in Bitcoin, our coin is five times faster in the Bitcoin, where the new so and so sign up for this. Do this. Make your money by this. And I’m I beat these coins won’t be around. Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Modern investor, your garbage investor. No. OK. Sure. I got it. Like I said and like I say. Oh, you’ll all get it at some point. There’s a reason why the market mainly focuses on three coins. That’s not to say that there may not be eight other coins circling around those three that could potentially do well in the future. But at least five of those eight are not. The other three are going to be sitting on the sidelines. They’ll they’ll be successful companies, but people won’t be using them. I’m I’m sad that it took this man. Eighty years to figure this out, he added. It’s a primal force. I get that. But every day I see this tech being used to enrich the few at the expense of the long term. Good of the many. He said making a quick buck is not why block chain matters. It’s not at all. But the entire idea of block, chain and cryptocurrency has gone out the window. Cryptocurrency has allowed itself to become easily hyper corrupted by banks and institutions who now own the entire space. Remember, remember what I said about two years ago? I said when the people from the Nasdaq. And the New York Stock Exchange. And Fidelity and the Winklevoss and all these other people are holding thousands, tens of thousands of Bitcoin. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. I think I’m pretty sure the Winklevoss hold in two thousand thirteen. They had at least two hundred thousand Bitcoin. One can only assume they probably have a lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot more. When these people stay the richest people on the planet and become even richer in the future, we can’t get upset at them because we we’ve allowed them to corrupt the space. This is why I mentioned before. For those people who don’t even have a fraction of a Bitcoin in their portfolio and are never going to buy Bitcoin, I, i in in in in 20 years. We’ll have a digital virtual conference in some sort of way. And I’ll let you know, I’ll let you explain to me why you just simply did not buy Bitcoin and how great that’s going for you. Like I said, not being mean, but you have to understand, this place is just. It’s Guards’. It’s gonna be full of greed. It’s a monetary market. Wait, wait, wait. What did this person think was gonna happen by the time Bitcoin had value? This is why for those of you who didn’t do a history lesson, why Satoshi Nakamoto left the space. There were people who he trusted to kind of continue building this in the background. One of the people I think went to the US government and was going to, like, show them how great Bitcoin was. And Satoshi was like, what are you doing? The guy was going there for profit because he probably thought, I know I blew this guy, probably thought he could sell off some Bitcoin or sell off the actual infrastructure to the US government. We have the tools and the means to get away from the old system. But people don’t care. People care about the integration with the old system. And that’s why the news has become the integration with the old system. How to make the old system great. No one’s using swift while there’s a new form of swift. No one’s using so and so where there’s a new form of this. You’re a computer’s not working well. It is integrated into ours as opposed to creating our own space. But we we’ve we’ve we’ve we’ve come far too far. We now have billionaires who own Bitcoin. I’m sure they’re telling their billionaires and or mega millionaire friends to also buy a Bitcoin. These people will own all the Bitcoin in the future. Fifteen years from now, you know, like when we get those really weird, crazy, wacky price predictions of a bitcoin price in twenty, twenty eight and twenty thirty two of being multi million dollars per bitcoin. Think of in the future how many people around the world are just not simply going to hold. Because they’ve bought all these other coins. It’s insane to think about the opportunities that people had. I remember shouting from the rooftop, Buy Bitcoin, it’s two hundred dollars. No. No one listened by Bitcoin is twelve hundred dollars. Bitcoin has dropped from twenty thousand dollars. Have you accumulated Bitcoin? No Bitcoin bitcoins at three thousand five hundred. Why would I want to buy Bitcoin? OK, cool. The point is, of course, the space is full of greed. Of course, it’s a fundamental driving growth or factor or force. We live in a world. Where money rules everything around us. Have we ever heard of cream c r e m Googled the word cream money or C dot r dot e dot a dot m. And you’ll you’ll get it. I’m sure a lot of people know exactly what cream is. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, mister. Did you bite founder that you realized it. It took this man eight years. All these people do is create new coins in an effort to make money from them. This is why it’s also very confusing. Sometimes when you see a lot of these coins that no one’s using have market valuations in the hundreds of millions of billions of dollars. What’s that? Did they they’ve created money out of thin air and people bought it. Remember last year and the year before that, all the conferences we were talking about that were taking place in Russia and other places like that? Like I told you, my friends showed me how he sent me the Instagram stories. These people having multi hundred people conferences in Russia creating like Bitcoin do to do like it was a weird name after it. And these people, they were asking these people that they were going up to them with microphones. How much did you put into the market today? I put fifteen thousand. I think it’s gonna do really well. These coins probably didn’t even exist, these were all scams and the people who ran these scams. Are now somewhere in paradise. They now have tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for the time when they can make their next scam. I know people won’t listen. I know some of you will listen. But I know the vast majority, 99 percent have either clicked the way already, have left a dislike, have left a bad comment or think I’m absolutely insane. And I tell you these things because I’ve been here before. I said this in another video. I know you won’t listen at this point. It kind of is what it is. If you keep buying crappy coins in the future, you’re gonna have a crappy portfolio. Just letting you know and also being sick of the greed that’s the market now. That’s that’s just is what it is. You’ve you’ve seen the comments section. You’ve seen Krypto Twitter, you’ve seen all of it. People are very what’s the word tribalistic in the cryptocurrency space because everyone drank the Kool-Aid in a different corner. Everyone ran to a corner, drank that Kool-Aid, and now they scream at other people, you should be drinking my Kool-Aid when they know it tasted terrible. It was bitter. It was horrible. They didn’t like it. But you have to convince other people, hey, mine is mine is better. I come over to my side and the other people come over. They also taste it and go, Oh. Buy this one, buy this one, because they also bought into the madness. Well, all these coins of garbage there are there are maybe five coins that have any real purpose. And I’m not talking about any staking any delegated proof of stake, any other crappy coins like that. Very few coins are actually going to be used in the future anyway. Yeah, sorry. Did you buy it, founder? I hope you understand now that the place is just about greed and money does. Yeah. Cream anyway. Let’s move on. Next up, Metallic Budarin is in the news in a series of tweets, Imperium co-founder Vitaly Budarin gave a nod of approval to competing block chain EOS with regard to the neach they are trying to carve out. He said, if I were designing a new chain to go live along a Bitcoin, any theory theorem, I would. Oh, that’s a that’s a very bad sign. Whenever someone says those words, that means that they’re slightly planning it in the background. I would take all the political tradeoffs that Bitcoin and ether aren’t willing to take, Budarin said in a May 15th tweet, referring to, of course, Bitcoin and ether because he said BTC and Ethe listed by Coin Telegraph as a fifth most influential person in crypto really and block chain Budarin and hold significant weight in the industry, Budarin noted. Quadratic voting, based on unchanged governance and all built into cryptographic procedures, are tradeoffs of interest. He also included on chain oracles for all events. Instead of ones that simply relay price moves. Budiman also mentioned potentially adding some form of identification on the network, perhaps even an on chain model of identity, at least for participants who want to participate, participate, participate in governance. Non governing actors will still be fully anonymous, he said, although he specified constructing the feature smarter than other current platforms. He said, This is why I actually have some respect for iOS and Co.. I disagree with delegated proof of stake, but at least they are trying to develop a cohesive and principled alternative niche, he added, referring to the delegated proof of stake block chain framework. That’s also news. Yeah. Vitaly Budarin said he has some respect for iOS. The Internet ran away with it. This is not listen. So a couple of other times before, it wasn’t Budarin. But there have been other people, other big wigs, big names in the cryptocurrency space who have mentioned that if they were to create a new chain, that they would do it like this. I redis very them. The bureau has already said before in the past that at some point he plans on stepping away from Ethiopia. Theory. He said, is no time soon. But he wants it to be as decentralized as possible. He doesn’t want to have the sway and the weight that he currently holds within the cryptocurrency space. Charlie Lee has said the same thing. I guess Nakamoto said it in 2009, 2010, because he’s gone. And so have many other people who have leadership role. So it does kind of make sense. I really hope he doesn’t make a new chain because it’s just kind of like, oh, no, no, no, no. But yeah. Vitaly Budarin tipped his digital hat towards iOS four delegates, proof of stake. And that also made news because this is news that I missed. There’s usually a reason why I missed it at. John McAfee. Is in the news today. John McAfee’s goes to cryptocurrency, teasers out who and the privacy focused coin is ready for its worldwide debut. I was hoping this would happen. The millionaire entrepreneur has just informed the world, thank goodness, about his latest crypto offering called Ghost that focuses on individual privacy. The tweet featured the white paper launch for the upcoming coin. It says, Yes, money signed Ghost White Paper coming out today, 8:00 p.m. Central. No, I will say nothing in advance. Dot, dot, dot, maybe. Dot, dot, dot. I’ll put it out half an hour earlier. Dot. Or maybe not. Said John McAfee on the 15th of May. Twitter Roddie has responded with enthusiasm, really about the John McAfee ghost cryptocurrency white paper. Soon the tweet was flooded with queries and congratulations. Why? This is the third coin he’s made. John McAfee has made other coins before. Am I the only one who, like, pays attention to the day to day of the cryptocurrency space? John McAfee has made other coins before. He’s also promoted tons of crappy coins before. A lot of you have probably lost money because that because of John McAfee. John McAfee was the scam promoter in 2017. Type in John McAfee, IFCO 2017. He promoted a new coin a day, a day, not every other day, not once a week, every single day on his Twitter. John McAfee was promoting a different coin. And John McAfee had the stop because the S.E.C. was like, what? What are you doing? He was he was also getting paid. I think I think I think the rumors were the rumors were between 50 to one hundred thousand dollars per coin. And he never disclosed it. And people just thought that he actually logit had a new coin of the day. Same exact thing. There’s another crypto tuber who is the same exact way. I’m not going to say names. You know exactly who I’m talking about. He also remember 2017. This guy said it’s really weird that all these scammers are popping back up and people are following them. It’s the weirdest thing in the entire world. How many times do you have to be burned to understand that that that the oven is hot? Stop touching it. You know that these people are scammers. You know that these people. John McAfee has made multiple coins. He has promoted multiple scams before in the past. Why would any why why would why would you continue following nine? You know how many views? Ninety five thousand of uses for a scam. Remember the other day when we were talking about all those people? Who are watching those scams? If you give me one hundred X Arpey, I’ll give you back a thousand. And why why they’re so popular. What is going on in the world that people just don’t. Is it? It’s called common sense. Like what is? And I didn’t even make a joke. I was gonna make a joke, like, send me a Bitcoin, I’ll send you 10, because I know that at some point somebody would send me a Bitcoin like, hey, TMI, never send me back my ten bitcoin. Like, what do you what do you think is happening in the world? Is it is. It is. The white paper will launch at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. The public will have full access to all technical details regarding the coin. This is not his first coin. His other coins have flopped. No one won. I think it was actually like a I think it was called McAfee coin. No one’s going to use these coins. I swear to actual goodness, if anyone in this channel puts their money into this coin that no one is going to use. And you use you lose your money. Please only blame yourself. No one else. Tell your friend, tell a family member, tell your dog, stop it. Stop buying these crappy coins. There’s no there’s no there’s no point in the near future. Were any institution, any bank, any anything? Is not only going to be adding ghost to their cryptocurrency exchange, they’re not going to be custody ing ghost. And they’re not going to be buying ghost. John McAfee is releasing a new coin. If it even ends up launching the white paper as launching, if the actual coin gets off the floor. Who knows? None of you should hold this in the first place. And to finish things off, Ripple Partners, Bibi or SBI Holdings says it plans to use a Ripple’s payments technology to make it easier for people in Japan to access a.T.M. Well, that’s so nice of them. In its latest yearly fiscal reports. The financial services company says it’s working to integrate its ripple powered payments. Settlement money app, tap tap money app app money tap with eight teams runs by various banks across the country. The move could make it easier for users to access their phones at any time, regardless of bank affiliation. Wow. I mean, that’s that sounds futuristic. SBI says the project could also improve the bottom line for banks. Always important because banks are banks themselves by reducing operating costs. They said currently each bank has an atom with its own bank app, but with a common web app, these same atom may be used or jointly operated by a multi bank. Adam, that sounds interesting. It’s almost as if we didn’t need a Tam’s anymore. We simply could just use cryptocurrency. Hmm hmm. I guess not. Maybe a couple more years. SBI aims to roll out money tap to a bank consortium that’s led by SBI Ripple Asia. The consortium currently has 61 banks operating or representing about 80 percent of all bank assets in Japan. In September of last year, SBI Holdings President Yoshitaka Cartel was quoted as saying that the app, which is fully licensed by Japanese regulators, would utilize Ripple’s native cryptocurrency Zerk in the future. Wonderful. I love the idea of more a.T.M, especially when I don’t even use an A.T.M.. No one my age uses cash anymore. I don’t know if you still use cash. Everyone I know taps their cards, lives their card or just simply orders online. I guess there are tons of people who do use atoms so cool that they’re gonna be using Ripple’s payment network. For that, no explicit words on them using. I assume SERP will be used somewhere in the background because for those of you who don’t know, REPL is actually partnered with nearly every single bank in Japan. So at some point I’m ex Arpey is going to be heavily used. But for this news that was also everywhere, it kind of all over the place. S.P.I is going to be using REPL. I mean, I’m shocked. Are you? I mean, I’ve never seen the affiliation before side. I just simply did not expect this to happen. Anyway. As always, a very special thank you to my patriot and supporters, reviser Walli, from going to my university utopia.

And thank you to everyone who has a clicker of affiliate links. SAT the momento. The cryptocurrency market looks in saying, I saw a couple of articles. First of all, Bitcoin is down currently by two point one three percent. I saw a couple of articles talking about that Bitcoin was on its way back down to seven. The Bears had taken control and therefore it was time for the market to kind of hold on. I don’t think we’re going back down to 7000. I could see a slipping slightly below nine thousand for a couple of seconds in a coordinated move to acquire more. Lower than nine thousand dollar Bitcoin. But at the moment, fundamentals look great. The fluctuations are absolutely insane. And once again, if you’ve been day trading kudo’s to you, because these movements are moneymakers, that’s not me telling you to go day. Trade is more like a if you’re already in it and you know what to do, therefore keep on doing it. Me? Yeah. The market looks crazy. Nothing. And what if the price of did you buy it went up because the founder was like, nope, I’m gone. I’m Hyperion is up by 15 percent. Wow. That’s twenty four million dollars worth of trading volume. That is. I mean, that’s more than any other coin I’ve never seen. Twenty four million per coin. I simply my mind can’t take it. I don’t know what to do with that 24 million faders up one 19 million synthetics is up on one million. Really, really strong, strong trading, trading, trading volumes right now going around. For those of you who could not hear in my voice that was sarcasm. I do hope you all enjoyed. I mean, I enjoyed the the the J.K. Rowling one. Hope you all enjoyed. Hope you all are having a great day of mourning. A great afternoon. A great evening. Wherever you are. Where ever you might be. I do hope that it was ab. So lewdly. Fantastic. Thank you all once again for watching and or listening. And I will most definitely. Certainly, hopefully probably. We’ll be talking to you all soon. See you.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hello, everybody. We’ll go back for another video. Hope you’re all doing well and that you’re all having an incredible day. We’ll go back for another news I missed. Where I go over. News I missed. Hedge fund manager Matt D’Souza thinks patience is the key for Bitcoin holders looking to capitalize on the having. And De Souza was also the co-founder and CEO of the crypto mining operator Block, where Solutions says it’s not the time to day trade. He said, and I do quote, In 2016, Bitcoin rallied sixty seven percent into having corrected 33 percent and bottomed within three weeks, only to begin a 17 month bull market in 2020. We didn’t have a rally going into the having as we recovered losses from the global market meltdown. The fundamentals for Bitcoin have never been better. Things are typically buy the news, sell the rumor events and 20 20, I expect a shallower sell off than 2016. We already corrected by 20 percent and only one two five. Oh, there we go. One point five to three week duration, Max. Now is the time to be patient and hold, not day trade. Sorry for screaming. The big money is in the sitting. What in capturing this. People use weird phrases. Big money is in the sitting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in my entire English career ever. And capturing the cycle. Never heard that either, end quote. Does Susan note that the Fed is recklessly printing money which will create negative interest rates? He also says 16 percent of miners have now shut off, giving BTC a better environment to rally. And it’s not just post having developments that could create a bullish environment for crypto trader and analyst Luke Martin says Bitcoin is also currently decoupling from the stock market. And there’s his tweet right there, which probably just says what I just said. In mid-March, when Bitcoin collapsed hand-in-hand with equities, many analysts expressed doubt about the assets ability to serve as a hedge on traditional finance. But that’s no longer the case, according to Martin Shaw. There were about 15000 other price predictions that I was going to throw into the video. But I was like, no, not today. I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll not do that. Everyone seems to be thinking the same thing. I mean, as far as hedge fund managers, crypto enthusiasts, you kind of name it, everyone’s expecting that this having will be different and therefore things will be different in the next couple of weeks. I mean, you’ve you’ve seen the news that we’ve been going over the last couple of days. Everyone has their own ideas as to what could potentially be happening in the near future with the cryptocurrency market and exactly what’s going to be happening with Bitcoin. A lot of people are expecting that Bitcoin had to go down before the having an order for it to go up later on. We have seen historically it’s only been two other ones before this one that Bitcoin tends to dip and then move on up a bit higher. But Bitcoin, as they say, has never been tested in such a manner. The other two having there wasn’t a worldwide economic crisis and governments were not printing trillions of dollars in order to kind of mitigate losses and or prop up things that should not be propped up. So, yeah, that’s absolutely wonderful that another really rich person thinks that things are going to get better with the cryptocurrency space. I said that, ironically enough, if you could hear the tone of my voice, I say things like that sometimes in the video. People like How dare you side with the banks? And it’s like, come let listen to listen to the tone of my voice and how I am. I am currently talking to see that I am being. Facetious, but. Then I’m flying anyway. That’s the Bitcoin. I mean, like like I’ve mentioned before and many other times in the past, rich people have a very strong grasp on the cryptocurrency market. They have been in the market for a while. I think they were all like literally waiting for this having to take place. They’d be like, oh, my stars. Bitcoin’s amazing. It’s because they know mathematically that stuff is going to get real very soon. And that it is kind of spreading the good word, as it were. Let’s move on. Next up, where are the words? Jeez Louise. There we go. The lackluster response following Bitcoin’s third having has left many in the cryptocurrency community scratching their heads over why the event did and trigger the next crypto market monsters rally. Not really. It’s just people who don’t understand Bitcoin is having a once every four year event is said to be bullish for the pioneer cryptocurrency as it reduces the number of new Bitcoin minted on a daily basis by slashing the rewards. Mind per block. WellPoint five six point five. You already know all hope is not lost. And you’ll see exactly where I’m going with this as well, because I’m noticing a very new trend. It says all hope is not lost with they’re having now in the rearview mirror. Investors are searching for the next catalyst that will drive the crypto markets higher, according to a top analyst. The imminent launch of a Theory M 2.0, an update that will introduce a higher transaction throughput and a new consensus model under proof of stake will make a much more profound. A fact there we go on the crypto markets than the recently completed BTC, having Ryan Watkins, an analyst for Mazari, recently explained why he thinks Ethe 2.0 will provide a much stronger effect on crypto prices. In a tweet a few days ago, Watkins noted that while the having was a pre-programmed and thus predictable Ethe 2.0 was an uncertain and fundamental change. And that’s what I just said right there. And that’s also in the tweet. The Ethe 2.0 release date has been delayed for the longest time. It’s been about 16 years now. That was also a joke, mostly due to the extreme techno tatlock teeny tiny technicality. Wow of the project Ethe Dewpoint. Those launch was initially slated for the 30th of July because we all we all saw that date mentioned before. However, Metallic Budarin recently posted, hoisted posted that the date could be pushed further to an undisclosed date in quarter three of twenty. Now keep that date in mind as well, you know, and explain in a tweet on Friday why the delay is necessary rather than rushing to launch Ethe 2.0 for those of you who did not see. He said pretty much he thinks it should be slow and steady and he doesn’t want to make any mistakes. He said, What do we do now? Will echo through crypto history for the next couple of decades. And therefore he wants to make sure the E Theorem 2.0 is perfect, perfect instead of slightly perfect before it gets released. That was his explanation. So we don’t even have to go over all of that. If you look at the title of the article, it says, Why upcoming Ethe 2.0 could propel a bigger extended market rally? This one says, In theory, I’m decouples from Bitcoin as having pressure sets in. This one says Alt coins like a theory may soon benefit from institutions rushing to buy Bitcoin. And this one says Imperium 2.0, is what could bring a major turnaround for Ethe to the U.S. dollar. I woke up today finding thousands, not thousands, like 15 articles I’m all talking about. Theorem. For some reason with B having behind this and this is why I mentioned before. Don’t assume that simply people who are not within the cryptocurrency space don’t understand what Bitcoin having actually represent and how significant they are to the cryptocurrency space and also to the price of Bitcoin, to the actual issuance rate of crypto currencies in general. As we move into a more deflationary cryptocurrency world, a lot of different websites started poking their head out just exclusively talking about a theory about how amazing it theorem is. Not saying that a theorem is not amazing, awesome, cool, funky, fly fresh, however, just seems a little bit weird that all the attention has seemingly moves to Aegerion Cerium 2.0 now. And I assume of the next couple of weeks we are going to be bombarded with a theorem is amazing articles until and I say this probably around the time we end up hitting Ethereum 2.0. I’m aiming for August, September of 2022. That was also a joke. Lot of jokes today around this year, probably August. September is when this will probably phase zero us in the face. Then at that point, I assume some other type of news will have come about for some other coin, who is also going to have a having a doubling a for thing or something else will come out and they’ll kind of take all of the attention. And then when he Theorem 2.0 does get released and the price doesn’t skyrocket by thirteen thousand percent. Like many people, I assume, are assuming it’s going to happen. We’ll start to get articles the same exact way. Why isn’t Bitcoin going up? Why is any theory I’m going of? Why is it like coin going up? We see them over and over and over. I find it weird, isn’t it? I don’t wanna say that there’s no loyalty within the cryptocurrency space, but you kind of get what I’m saying. It’s kind of odd. I don’t know if these were always I love you theory and Web sites or simply now they are poking their heads out up, showing their true colors once again. There does not have to be one coin that rules them all. A lot of people think so. I think a market rally could come from any direction. I don’t think it’ll exclusively be Bitcoin that causes everything to skyrocket into the bazillions. It could be someone who wins the lotto and they’re like, I got an extra 14 million. Let’s buy up this coin. It could be a million. And one things. However. It appears that analysts are even more bullish than before on a theorem. I think it’s perfectly natural to be OK with your theory M 2.0 or be excited about it, especially when we talk about the issuance rate in this taking and then all the other stuff that we don’t have to go over again. It was kind of weird that there were so many different websites out there who were all talking and discussing about how amazing each theorem was around the same exact time. Are also more of these. I just I just chose these four because they had the nicest colors. Anyway. Probably my my most. Favorite. News story in a while. For those of you not looking at the screen, even the title, even the title gets me. It says that J.K. Rowling asks about Bitcoin accursed crypto Twitter scares her off. Jake, J.K. Rowling probably wasn’t expecting to unleash the Bitcoin community’s pent up passion and imagination when she tweeted two sentences asking about Bitcoin. But the author of Harry Potter series did. Responding to a tweet from Quoin Desk, senior reporter Ly Kyun Rowland tweeted, and I quote, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me in just two hours. Her tweet had spawned thirteen hundred replies. It took less than three hours for her to follow up with. I don’t think I trust this is weird. The reason I’m laughing is because if you’ve been into crypto for over two years, I. I give you even a year and a half. You know how intense this space can be. If you scream out, Bitcoin is garbage, Bikash is the true Bitcoin. You’re going to get some really strong responses if you send out a message. SRP is better than Bitcoin and like coin proved me wrong. You’re gonna get responses back. So all I could imagine when I read the title. Was at people to simply bombarded her with so many things, tearing her down and then to even read to her say, I don’t think I trust this because you you know how people are within the cryptocurrency space. So I think if I was if it was my first day in crypto and I and I wrote on Anthony possibly on his page, I don’t understand Bitcoin. Please explain it to me. And I got thirteen hundred responses and I’m going to read out some of their responses as well. I think I would also probably not even think of trusting Bitcoin lurking below the Twitter surface. Is a massive community of people who tweet about almost nothing except bitcoin and crypto day in and day out. That is the honest truth. Dying to use their netsch knowhow for the good of the world. Rowling accidentally tapped into it and attempts to speak Rowlings language. It gets better, I promise. Many started comparing Bitcoin to the wizarding world from her books. Someone said, remember how he he who must not be named, play seven Hawe cruxes and different objects around the world in an attempt to immortalize himself so that no one, not even the Ministry of Magic, could stop him. Someone said that he who must not be named or Lord Voldemort thought it would be unlikely that anyone could find all seven Halk cruxes making him impervious to destruction. Similarly under the hood. Bitcoin is composed or comprised of thousands of nosed around the globe running the Bitcoin software, although the number might be decreasing. Who cares? It is hard to share what we’re talking about. J.K. Rowling. It is hard to shut down because all of these nodes need to be shut down at once to derail the online currency. Stephen Saying a researcher at crypto publication of The Block focused his Harry Potter metaphore on the goal of Bitcoin, giving users freedom to do as they please. He said Remember when Dobbie was freed by a sock? Bitcoin is that sock. I mean, it just keeps going on like people kept on, like the Philosopher’s Stone and all this other stuff. Why not just explain to her what Bitcoin is in simple terms? I’m sure this woman who wrote this book 30 years ago was reading these responses and was like, what the heck is everyone even talking about? On top of that, the also other news was that Elon Musk apparently decided to also chime in and told J.K. Rowling about how amazing Bitcoin was. But is it this is a two parter. Hang in there. He said pretty much. Although massive currency issuance by government, central banks is making Bitcoin Internet ghost money looked solid by comparison. Once again, no one actually explained to J.K. Rowling what Bitcoin was. She said people are now explaining Bitcoin to me and honestly, it’s blah, blah, blah, collectibles, My Little Pony, blah, blah, blah. Computers got one of those blah, blah, blah. Crypto sounds creepy. Blah, blah, blah. Understand the risk. I don’t, though, because no one we we we make the mistake often being in the cryptocurrency space of just simply not simply easily explaining something to someone. Now, many friends I’ve had who’ve tried looking at my channel and they don’t understand the thing. I mean, first of all, the channels made for intermediate to low level advanced, like, you have to have been here for a while to really get the channels on a an introductory kind of channel. But it is that same exact thing like you. I talk to all of you as if you know what. 256 is or what the e what what proof of stake. And this is like you you get these terms. You also know what securities are. Anyone come into the channel with simply does go away though. I don’t know what of this stuff is. No one explained it to her. Everyone gave her Harry Potter references. Elon Musk is talking about Bitcoin, Internet ghost money, looking solid by comparison. Also, the two parter for that one. For those of you not looking at the screen, the title of this article is Elon Musk Drops Bitcoin Bomb on J.K. Rowling. Bitcoin is solid compared to fiat money. He never said any of those words. He said the words solid. He he referenced Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money for those of you who’ve never heard that, that was a very big thing in 2014, 15 and 16, where people used to say that Bitcoin was magical ghost Internet money, that no one could see it, no one understood it, and therefore was his relatively unknown entity that was kind of floating around this that just simply worked. He said Bitcoin as magical ghost Internet money looks solid by comparison. He didn’t call Bitcoin solid. He did say that Bitcoin was a new world currency. He simply said by comparison, goes to money, looks solid to all the issuance by central government banks. Very weird because through multiple different articles on the Internet, they constantly made reference to the fact that Elon Musk had spoken about Bitcoin. Well, I think the third time, third or fourth time this year, and this time he used the word solid to talk about Bitcoin. He didn’t learn learn how to read English and stop trying to misconstrue things to make them sound better. The point is, this is my favorite thing. I was I was I was making some tea. I read this and I laughed for a good 20 minutes. I don’t if you heard the the optimism in my voice before I started this video is because I had had so much joy in my heart, just thinking chemo came. People in the cryptocurrency space leave now because of how insane the cryptocurrency space is and how like. The word is intense. How intense people can get because of, you know, how intense crypto Twitter is. So I just imagine J.K. Rowling sitting at home wrapped up in a blanket, like drinking some tea, just not understanding, like, what the heck are these people talking about? That’s my favorite news story. And then Elon Musk saying the word solid, which also got people riled up. I mean, why, why, why? Why is there a picture of money? Why is there a woman who has her finger nails done holding up a hundred dollar? Well, let’s start with Krypto. What’s going on? What’s going on, guys? Like what? What am I missing? Why the woods? What’s happening in this space? What what is this picture? If there was a photo of Elon Musk, I would get it. Or Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling at an event standing side by side, it would have made a bit more sense. There’s a woman wearing jeans, holding hundred dollar bills. Anyway. There’s a reason why it’s called news, I missed it. There’s a huge reason. Let us move on. And also other news, Jarrett Tate, the founder of Deji Bite, announced that he will be stepping aside from day to day operations due to the greed and rampant pillaging of the cryptocurrency industry. Tate announced his departure from the front end of the crypto space on his Twitter page on the 15th of May. After eight years in the industry, wow, he had this to say about his experiences. He said, all along the way, I have learned some very humble lessons. Number one of which is greed is the fundamental driving force in crypto and people’s actions in life, end quote. It took him eight years to learn that eight years that we all did that I knew took him eight years. Tate said he doesn’t speak for everyone involved with did you? Right. Which he proclaims that the original values of the crypto industry have disappeared. We’ve gone over that as well. The old old crypto is completely gone. Tait’s noted that all 90 percent of the people care about is cashing out. When one of their coins moons. And that’s because boys and girls for everyone listening, I wanna tell you a secret about the cryptocurrency space. Hope you’re listening. Remember these words. Ninety nine percent of the cryptocurrency market is garbage. Did you hear me? Rubbish. Terrible. No use. There’s no need for these coins and people know that in the back of their head, no matter how much you tell yourself. Listen, I’ll be out. I’ll be frank with you and I’ll even level with you. I’ll even I’ll even say that I understand you. I get why people try to pump their coins in the comment section I get while other people are fighting. I get why. So am I and I get it. I don’t agree with it. However, when people try to pump their coins, it’s because they know that they’re holding garbage and they’re doing anything that they can in their power to make sure that the prices of these coins go up so that they can moon and that they can cash out, because in the very beginning he’d heed my words. People got into some of the worst coins in the cryptocurrency space trying to make a rapid quick buck. This is why they did. These other channels are flourishing once again. I’ve I’ve I’ve never been so shocked in my entire life, honestly, on a on an average day. My videos get anywhere from 13 to 18 thousand views, give or take. They fluctuate back and forth. And I and I simply give you the news. I tell you the reality of the cryptocurrency space. I don’t sugarcoat anything. If something looks like garbage, I’m going to tell you it’s garbage. The other channels that have come out of the woodworks or have started reposting videos. These channels are getting one hundred and sixteen thousand views a day. Eighty five thousand views a day. Their channels. One of them. What was it like a couple of days ago? It was like chart shows bitcoin hitting one hundred thousand very soon. Are you in the market? All these things. Everything right now almost knocked over a picture frame. Everything just go away. Everything right now in the cryptocurrency space. Has to exclusively do with people trying to make sure that their coins are no one are hyped up, are pumped up so that the prices can go up and they can cash out. People know that they’re holding garbage. And I’m sad that it took the the founder of Deji by eight years to figure this out. And in the end in the beginning, in the long, long ago, in the beginning of the cryptocurrency space, things were not as they were right now. Things were a lot calmer than we we we had the idea of of of the whole Lambeau culture. But that also came from the greedy aspect of what is now a huge force within the cryptocurrency space. Before that, the idea was to decouple the entire world from fiat currencies. We know that Bitcoin is slow, but we know that eventually Bitcoin will get upgraded. We can do this and make sure that Bitcoin stands as the the the the the totem pole. And therefore, if everyone touches the totem pole, gains it’s knowledge, we can all move on from fiat currencies. This is when the other coins I’m in, I and I. My my brain won’t let me go through eight years of Krypto life to name all the coins, we had so many copies of Bitcoin starting to pop up and. I don’t even consider light coin to be a necessary copy like coin was created more so as as a like a literal silver literal silver to Bitcoin’s gold. It was meant to be. And then eventually it became this kind of test net, which is totally fine when you’re trying to protect the main core, as it were, for Bitcoin. What happened over the last couple of years, and I’ve mentioned this on several other occasions, the Andes, the old idea of decentralization is is is completely gone. The cryptocurrency space has allowed itself to become corrupted by not only greed, but also institutions. Remember before when institutions and Griese and Bank and all this other stuff were very bad things, and now people loud to them and praise them on a crypto Twitter. I’m so glad the JP Morgan’s getting into this. I’m so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I understand. I’m also an investor for those of you who were unaware. I’m I’m also into the into the money aspect because I want security in my life. However, the fact that this person just got to the point that I mean, it’s the same exact reason, like we we logically don’t need multiple Bitcoin. If you feel in your heart that Bitcoin, the core is too slow. You create a side chain that runs inside it and you allow these new upgrades to run on said PSI chain, you’d leave the core alone and you build on the outside to make Bitcoin stronger. The BSA vs the B cashes the B gold’s the B diamonds, the B, everything else. These are all unneeded coins and I’ll even go so far as to say did you buy it also isn’t a coin that’s needed. I keep seeing people over and over talking about how it’s just in the comment section. I know these people are trying to hype up the coin and I’m I’m not even half remotely sad that I’m being honest with all of you. It’s just really how things are. I mean, that so many coins in the space, we have no need for them. They’re never going to do anything. A lot of people bought these coins in expectations years ago that these coins were going to rocket and moon. I have a friend. I don’t think he’s watching. But if you are. When he got into the cryptocurrency space, I said, focus on a couple of coins. He went OK and bought a whole bunch of other coins, which I will not name. These coins are doing terrible. And I mean, terrible, terrible, like, bad, terrible. And all I see every single day is him trying to make sure that other people know about how great his garbage is that he bought. Eventually, when the prices go up, can you guess what he plans on doing? He plans on selling because people realizing you all of you realize and for those of you who say you don’t realize, I’m going to tell you, you’re going to realize sometime in the future, you have probably purchased garbage. You are holding onto garbage. You need to at some point get rid of that garbage. And I hope that the next cryptocurrency Bullrun, that not even if we even don’t reach previous highs, that we go five cents over the previous highs of where we were and that you have a chance to cash out and then re-evaluate your portfolio. And I mean that with the most honest words I can possibly comprise together of all the words in the English language. Total honesty. Of course, people in the cryptocurrency space are greedy. So many. Why do you think we have all these coins? Why do you think we have all these other people trying to mimic and make all these other things? You’ve seen all the other cryptocurrency changes that have shut down all the crypto startups, the AI CEOs, the SVO is and have come and gone. There was no need for these things. I told all of you years ago, I remember I had other videos I would show you Web sites, these people talking about. They had made in Bitcoin, our coin is five times faster in the Bitcoin, where the new so and so sign up for this. Do this. Make your money by this. And I’m I beat these coins won’t be around. Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Modern investor, your garbage investor. No. OK. Sure. I got it. Like I said and like I say. Oh, you’ll all get it at some point. There’s a reason why the market mainly focuses on three coins. That’s not to say that there may not be eight other coins circling around those three that could potentially do well in the future. But at least five of those eight are not. The other three are going to be sitting on the sidelines. They’ll they’ll be successful companies, but people won’t be using them. I’m I’m sad that it took this man. Eighty years to figure this out, he added. It’s a primal force. I get that. But every day I see this tech being used to enrich the few at the expense of the long term. Good of the many. He said making a quick buck is not why block chain matters. It’s not at all. But the entire idea of block, chain and cryptocurrency has gone out the window. Cryptocurrency has allowed itself to become easily hyper corrupted by banks and institutions who now own the entire space. Remember, remember what I said about two years ago? I said when the people from the Nasdaq. And the New York Stock Exchange. And Fidelity and the Winklevoss and all these other people are holding thousands, tens of thousands of Bitcoin. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. I think I’m pretty sure the Winklevoss hold in two thousand thirteen. They had at least two hundred thousand Bitcoin. One can only assume they probably have a lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot. A lot more. When these people stay the richest people on the planet and become even richer in the future, we can’t get upset at them because we we’ve allowed them to corrupt the space. This is why I mentioned before. For those people who don’t even have a fraction of a Bitcoin in their portfolio and are never going to buy Bitcoin, I, i in in in in 20 years. We’ll have a digital virtual conference in some sort of way. And I’ll let you know, I’ll let you explain to me why you just simply did not buy Bitcoin and how great that’s going for you. Like I said, not being mean, but you have to understand, this place is just. It’s Guards’. It’s gonna be full of greed. It’s a monetary market. Wait, wait, wait. What did this person think was gonna happen by the time Bitcoin had value? This is why for those of you who didn’t do a history lesson, why Satoshi Nakamoto left the space. There were people who he trusted to kind of continue building this in the background. One of the people I think went to the US government and was going to, like, show them how great Bitcoin was. And Satoshi was like, what are you doing? The guy was going there for profit because he probably thought, I know I blew this guy, probably thought he could sell off some Bitcoin or sell off the actual infrastructure to the US government. We have the tools and the means to get away from the old system. But people don’t care. People care about the integration with the old system. And that’s why the news has become the integration with the old system. How to make the old system great. No one’s using swift while there’s a new form of swift. No one’s using so and so where there’s a new form of this. You’re a computer’s not working well. It is integrated into ours as opposed to creating our own space. But we we’ve we’ve we’ve we’ve come far too far. We now have billionaires who own Bitcoin. I’m sure they’re telling their billionaires and or mega millionaire friends to also buy a Bitcoin. These people will own all the Bitcoin in the future. Fifteen years from now, you know, like when we get those really weird, crazy, wacky price predictions of a bitcoin price in twenty, twenty eight and twenty thirty two of being multi million dollars per bitcoin. Think of in the future how many people around the world are just not simply going to hold. Because they’ve bought all these other coins. It’s insane to think about the opportunities that people had. I remember shouting from the rooftop, Buy Bitcoin, it’s two hundred dollars. No. No one listened by Bitcoin is twelve hundred dollars. Bitcoin has dropped from twenty thousand dollars. Have you accumulated Bitcoin? No Bitcoin bitcoins at three thousand five hundred. Why would I want to buy Bitcoin? OK, cool. The point is, of course, the space is full of greed. Of course, it’s a fundamental driving growth or factor or force. We live in a world. Where money rules everything around us. Have we ever heard of cream c r e m Googled the word cream money or C dot r dot e dot a dot m. And you’ll you’ll get it. I’m sure a lot of people know exactly what cream is. Anyway. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, mister. Did you bite founder that you realized it. It took this man eight years. All these people do is create new coins in an effort to make money from them. This is why it’s also very confusing. Sometimes when you see a lot of these coins that no one’s using have market valuations in the hundreds of millions of billions of dollars. What’s that? Did they they’ve created money out of thin air and people bought it. Remember last year and the year before that, all the conferences we were talking about that were taking place in Russia and other places like that? Like I told you, my friends showed me how he sent me the Instagram stories. These people having multi hundred people conferences in Russia creating like Bitcoin do to do like it was a weird name after it. And these people, they were asking these people that they were going up to them with microphones. How much did you put into the market today? I put fifteen thousand. I think it’s gonna do really well. These coins probably didn’t even exist, these were all scams and the people who ran these scams. Are now somewhere in paradise. They now have tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for the time when they can make their next scam. I know people won’t listen. I know some of you will listen. But I know the vast majority, 99 percent have either clicked the way already, have left a dislike, have left a bad comment or think I’m absolutely insane. And I tell you these things because I’ve been here before. I said this in another video. I know you won’t listen at this point. It kind of is what it is. If you keep buying crappy coins in the future, you’re gonna have a crappy portfolio. Just letting you know and also being sick of the greed that’s the market now. That’s that’s just is what it is. You’ve you’ve seen the comments section. You’ve seen Krypto Twitter, you’ve seen all of it. People are very what’s the word tribalistic in the cryptocurrency space because everyone drank the Kool-Aid in a different corner. Everyone ran to a corner, drank that Kool-Aid, and now they scream at other people, you should be drinking my Kool-Aid when they know it tasted terrible. It was bitter. It was horrible. They didn’t like it. But you have to convince other people, hey, mine is mine is better. I come over to my side and the other people come over. They also taste it and go, Oh. Buy this one, buy this one, because they also bought into the madness. Well, all these coins of garbage there are there are maybe five coins that have any real purpose. And I’m not talking about any staking any delegated proof of stake, any other crappy coins like that. Very few coins are actually going to be used in the future anyway. Yeah, sorry. Did you buy it, founder? I hope you understand now that the place is just about greed and money does. Yeah. Cream anyway. Let’s move on. Next up, Metallic Budarin is in the news in a series of tweets, Imperium co-founder Vitaly Budarin gave a nod of approval to competing block chain EOS with regard to the neach they are trying to carve out. He said, if I were designing a new chain to go live along a Bitcoin, any theory theorem, I would. Oh, that’s a that’s a very bad sign. Whenever someone says those words, that means that they’re slightly planning it in the background. I would take all the political tradeoffs that Bitcoin and ether aren’t willing to take, Budarin said in a May 15th tweet, referring to, of course, Bitcoin and ether because he said BTC and Ethe listed by Coin Telegraph as a fifth most influential person in crypto really and block chain Budarin and hold significant weight in the industry, Budarin noted. Quadratic voting, based on unchanged governance and all built into cryptographic procedures, are tradeoffs of interest. He also included on chain oracles for all events. Instead of ones that simply relay price moves. Budiman also mentioned potentially adding some form of identification on the network, perhaps even an on chain model of identity, at least for participants who want to participate, participate, participate in governance. Non governing actors will still be fully anonymous, he said, although he specified constructing the feature smarter than other current platforms. He said, This is why I actually have some respect for iOS and Co.. I disagree with delegated proof of stake, but at least they are trying to develop a cohesive and principled alternative niche, he added, referring to the delegated proof of stake block chain framework. That’s also news. Yeah. Vitaly Budarin said he has some respect for iOS. The Internet ran away with it. This is not listen. So a couple of other times before, it wasn’t Budarin. But there have been other people, other big wigs, big names in the cryptocurrency space who have mentioned that if they were to create a new chain, that they would do it like this. I redis very them. The bureau has already said before in the past that at some point he plans on stepping away from Ethiopia. Theory. He said, is no time soon. But he wants it to be as decentralized as possible. He doesn’t want to have the sway and the weight that he currently holds within the cryptocurrency space. Charlie Lee has said the same thing. I guess Nakamoto said it in 2009, 2010, because he’s gone. And so have many other people who have leadership role. So it does kind of make sense. I really hope he doesn’t make a new chain because it’s just kind of like, oh, no, no, no, no. But yeah. Vitaly Budarin tipped his digital hat towards iOS four delegates, proof of stake. And that also made news because this is news that I missed. There’s usually a reason why I missed it at. John McAfee. Is in the news today. John McAfee’s goes to cryptocurrency, teasers out who and the privacy focused coin is ready for its worldwide debut. I was hoping this would happen. The millionaire entrepreneur has just informed the world, thank goodness, about his latest crypto offering called Ghost that focuses on individual privacy. The tweet featured the white paper launch for the upcoming coin. It says, Yes, money signed Ghost White Paper coming out today, 8:00 p.m. Central. No, I will say nothing in advance. Dot, dot, dot, maybe. Dot, dot, dot. I’ll put it out half an hour earlier. Dot. Or maybe not. Said John McAfee on the 15th of May. Twitter Roddie has responded with enthusiasm, really about the John McAfee ghost cryptocurrency white paper. Soon the tweet was flooded with queries and congratulations. Why? This is the third coin he’s made. John McAfee has made other coins before. Am I the only one who, like, pays attention to the day to day of the cryptocurrency space? John McAfee has made other coins before. He’s also promoted tons of crappy coins before. A lot of you have probably lost money because that because of John McAfee. John McAfee was the scam promoter in 2017. Type in John McAfee, IFCO 2017. He promoted a new coin a day, a day, not every other day, not once a week, every single day on his Twitter. John McAfee was promoting a different coin. And John McAfee had the stop because the S.E.C. was like, what? What are you doing? He was he was also getting paid. I think I think I think the rumors were the rumors were between 50 to one hundred thousand dollars per coin. And he never disclosed it. And people just thought that he actually logit had a new coin of the day. Same exact thing. There’s another crypto tuber who is the same exact way. I’m not going to say names. You know exactly who I’m talking about. He also remember 2017. This guy said it’s really weird that all these scammers are popping back up and people are following them. It’s the weirdest thing in the entire world. How many times do you have to be burned to understand that that that the oven is hot? Stop touching it. You know that these people are scammers. You know that these people. John McAfee has made multiple coins. He has promoted multiple scams before in the past. Why would any why why would why would you continue following nine? You know how many views? Ninety five thousand of uses for a scam. Remember the other day when we were talking about all those people? Who are watching those scams? If you give me one hundred X Arpey, I’ll give you back a thousand. And why why they’re so popular. What is going on in the world that people just don’t. Is it? It’s called common sense. Like what is? And I didn’t even make a joke. I was gonna make a joke, like, send me a Bitcoin, I’ll send you 10, because I know that at some point somebody would send me a Bitcoin like, hey, TMI, never send me back my ten bitcoin. Like, what do you what do you think is happening in the world? Is it is. It is. The white paper will launch at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. The public will have full access to all technical details regarding the coin. This is not his first coin. His other coins have flopped. No one won. I think it was actually like a I think it was called McAfee coin. No one’s going to use these coins. I swear to actual goodness, if anyone in this channel puts their money into this coin that no one is going to use. And you use you lose your money. Please only blame yourself. No one else. Tell your friend, tell a family member, tell your dog, stop it. Stop buying these crappy coins. There’s no there’s no there’s no point in the near future. Were any institution, any bank, any anything? Is not only going to be adding ghost to their cryptocurrency exchange, they’re not going to be custody ing ghost. And they’re not going to be buying ghost. John McAfee is releasing a new coin. If it even ends up launching the white paper as launching, if the actual coin gets off the floor. Who knows? None of you should hold this in the first place. And to finish things off, Ripple Partners, Bibi or SBI Holdings says it plans to use a Ripple’s payments technology to make it easier for people in Japan to access a.T.M. Well, that’s so nice of them. In its latest yearly fiscal reports. The financial services company says it’s working to integrate its ripple powered payments. Settlement money app, tap tap money app app money tap with eight teams runs by various banks across the country. The move could make it easier for users to access their phones at any time, regardless of bank affiliation. Wow. I mean, that’s that sounds futuristic. SBI says the project could also improve the bottom line for banks. Always important because banks are banks themselves by reducing operating costs. They said currently each bank has an atom with its own bank app, but with a common web app, these same atom may be used or jointly operated by a multi bank. Adam, that sounds interesting. It’s almost as if we didn’t need a Tam’s anymore. We simply could just use cryptocurrency. Hmm hmm. I guess not. Maybe a couple more years. SBI aims to roll out money tap to a bank consortium that’s led by SBI Ripple Asia. The consortium currently has 61 banks operating or representing about 80 percent of all bank assets in Japan. In September of last year, SBI Holdings President Yoshitaka Cartel was quoted as saying that the app, which is fully licensed by Japanese regulators, would utilize Ripple’s native cryptocurrency Zerk in the future. Wonderful. I love the idea of more a.T.M, especially when I don’t even use an A.T.M.. No one my age uses cash anymore. I don’t know if you still use cash. Everyone I know taps their cards, lives their card or just simply orders online. I guess there are tons of people who do use atoms so cool that they’re gonna be using Ripple’s payment network. For that, no explicit words on them using. I assume SERP will be used somewhere in the background because for those of you who don’t know, REPL is actually partnered with nearly every single bank in Japan. So at some point I’m ex Arpey is going to be heavily used. But for this news that was also everywhere, it kind of all over the place. S.P.I is going to be using REPL. I mean, I’m shocked. Are you? I mean, I’ve never seen the affiliation before side. I just simply did not expect this to happen. Anyway. As always, a very special thank you to my patriot and supporters, reviser Walli, from going to my university utopia.

And thank you to everyone who has a clicker of affiliate links. SAT the momento. The cryptocurrency market looks in saying, I saw a couple of articles. First of all, Bitcoin is down currently by two point one three percent. I saw a couple of articles talking about that Bitcoin was on its way back down to seven. The Bears had taken control and therefore it was time for the market to kind of hold on. I don’t think we’re going back down to 7000. I could see a slipping slightly below nine thousand for a couple of seconds in a coordinated move to acquire more. Lower than nine thousand dollar Bitcoin. But at the moment, fundamentals look great. The fluctuations are absolutely insane. And once again, if you’ve been day trading kudo’s to you, because these movements are moneymakers, that’s not me telling you to go day. Trade is more like a if you’re already in it and you know what to do, therefore keep on doing it. Me? Yeah. The market looks crazy. Nothing. And what if the price of did you buy it went up because the founder was like, nope, I’m gone. I’m Hyperion is up by 15 percent. Wow. That’s twenty four million dollars worth of trading volume. That is. I mean, that’s more than any other coin I’ve never seen. Twenty four million per coin. I simply my mind can’t take it. I don’t know what to do with that 24 million faders up one 19 million synthetics is up on one million. Really, really strong, strong trading, trading, trading volumes right now going around. For those of you who could not hear in my voice that was sarcasm. I do hope you all enjoyed. I mean, I enjoyed the the the J.K. Rowling one. Hope you all enjoyed. Hope you all are having a great day of mourning. A great afternoon. A great evening. Wherever you are. Where ever you might be. I do hope that it was ab. So lewdly. Fantastic. Thank you all once again for watching and or listening. And I will most definitely. Certainly, hopefully probably. We’ll be talking to you all soon. See you.

WCW Monday Nitro 29/07/1996

 Here we go boys and girls...

You know, I just realised I have no idea what that “Q” shape in the top right hand corner actually means. To Google! 

OK well, I had a brief check and I still don’t know. Answers on a postcard. 

Something else I just noticed...

Hogan’s screaming face right next to a building that says “prescriptions”... I don’t think I need to comment any further.

“WCW Monday Nitro ignites once again!” screams Tony Schiavone as we get a high shot of the WCW set at Universal.

The magic kingdom has never been more magical.

As always we are welcomed by Mr Schiavone and “Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko. They’re both wearing Mickey Mouse shirts which is somewhat appropriate. Larry doesn’t look best pleased about it.

Tony informs us that there are two title matches tonight. The Giant will be defending his World Heavyweight title against Arn Anderson, whilst Rey Mysterio Jr will be defending his cruisweight title against Eddie Guerrero. I’m guessing one of those matches is going to be far more entertaining than the other. Tony also hypes the American Males Vs the Steiner Brothers, but... meh. The American Males suck. 

Tony brings up that WCW has recently been under attack from the New World Order. Larry refers to them as the “new world odor”. Very clever, Larry. Zbszko says the nWo are in control and picking their spots. Really they’re just being allowed to do pretty much whatever they want. WCW could have these guys thrown out in their asses for all sorts of shit, but nope. Nobody ever questions why.

We go to footage that Tony says was sent to them (not established by who) of Hall and Nash standing outside some kind of building looking a little bit high.

Next up we see footage of Luger and Sting coming out the back of some arena. Apparently this is a WCW Saturday Night taping. I assume the Outsiders filmed this footage or had somebody film it for them, as you can hear them saying mostly unintelligible shit in the background. Luger gets called away, leaving Sting by himself. 

At this point the Outsiders attack Sting from behind, shove him half way into the boot of a car and slam the door onto his back. They then beat Sting up some more before running off. This is all being filmed. Larry and Tony express minor disgust, as if they aren’t literally watching a guy getting the shit beaten out of him on tape, and say it’ll be dealt with at the Hog Wild PPV. 

Obviously another way to deal with it would be to, I don’t know, send this tape to the police? A blatant, pre-meditated assault filmed in its entirety before and after. You aren’t going to get much more clear-cut evidence. But, y’know, wrestling.

Tony calmly states that Sting is OK and suffered “minor injuries”. Well, that’s fine then. 

Some vaguely old school Western movie music plays and out comes the former Mauler, Mike Enos, aka one half of the worst named team in the world, “Rough ‘n’ Ready”. I think he was Ready.

His opponent is the ultra patriotic numbskull Jim Duggan. “Not Hacksaw” sighs Larry, and I’m with you living legend. Why? Why?

Mike “Ready” Enos Vs “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan

What a way to start the show. And yes, that was heavy, heavy sarcasm. For fuck’s sake. Couldn’t we have started with Rey Vs Eddie? Maybe just not had this match at all?

There are some contrasting emotions in the crowd as Hacksaw comes out...

The guy on the right seems happy to see Duggan. The guy on the left looks like me when I realised who was coming out. Come to think of it, I think that guy on the right was the dude aggressively booing Konnan last time. Loves ultra patriotic Jim Duggan, hates Mexican konnan to the point where it looked like his head was about to explode... pretty sure this guy is now a Trump supporter. I’ve just dated this blog, but for reference we’re in 2018, so that’s a relevant thought for at least another few years.

The crowd start chanting “USA” straight away. I think they’re both from the States so it’s not a chant that favours either man. Hacksaw is instantly furious, for some reason, and wants to start beating up Enos before the bell event rings.

The ref is like “bro, bro... calm down. We’re at Disneyworld.”

Duggan clotheslines Enos over the top rope after about a minute. Remember how last week Norton got disqualified for doing the exact same thing to Dave Taylor? No such luck here. Damn it.

I notice Enos has “Rough and Ready” on the back of his sleeveless jacket..

.What’s the snake meant to represent? Are snakes known for being rough or ready?

Enos and Hacksaw give each other some pretty nasty looking headbutts...

What’s funny is that Enos’s headbutt was more of a leaning his head in and pushing, whereas Hacksaw just went charging in there and smashed their heads together. Looked brutal. Also Hacksaw is fucking thick. And I don’t mean “thicc”, I just mean thick. Stout. Rotund.

Larry repeats his “new world odor” phrase for about the fifth time already. It’s not that original or funny Larry, give it a rest.

Look how empty the front row is. Where the hell is everybody? Normally that front row is full, and usually with really strange people too. I wonder if the black guy in the bottom left still has his “hulkster” shirt, or whether that’s now been disposed of...

Enos is putting on this really shitty looking chinlock.

It doesn’t look remotely painful. He’s literally just cupping Hacksaw’s chin in his hands. I mean, to go from those brutal headbutts to this is silly. This goes on forever. Even Larry basically says the chinlock is bullshit and not being applied properly.

This match has been going on for about 6 minutes and Duggan looks like he’s run a marathon.  

Duggan comes off the ropes and goes for a roll up...

Did not want or need to see Enos’s arse crack, thanks. Sometimes I wonder if WCW understand their audience is predominantly heterosexual males. I mean, between this and that baywatch-esque clip from a few shows ago with Jim “Jobber” Powers, Alex Wright, etc stripping off their clothes in slow motion... I’m starting to wonder.

Tony actually calls attention to the four empty seats in the front row and wonders whether they’re for the new world order. I suppose it’s possible, and I can’t blame them for deciding against watching this classic.

Match ends when Enos is arguing with the ref, allowing Duggan to tape up his fist and crack Enos over the head.

Check out the black guy in the upper right. He’s loving this way more than I am.

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan defeats Mike “Ready” Enos via Pinfall.

Expert shit-stirrer Mean Gene is in the ring to interview Duggan. 

Poor Hacksaw looks like he’s ready to go to bed.

Okerlund asks Hacksaw for his opinion on the nWo. Not sure why anybody would be particularly interested in what Duggan has to say on the subject, but whatever. Hacksaw gets unusually serious as he asks people to listen. 

Hacksaw asks “Hulk, what have you done?” 

He reminds Hogan about the kids who look up to him, and brings up going with Hogan to the make-a-wish and special olympic events. Duggan asks why Hogan would turn his back on everything he loved, and everyone that loved him. Duggan says Hogan has held his children, and the first word his oldest child said was “hulkster”. That’s not weird at all. Duggan says “Hulkster, you’re a great technical wrestler” - lol - “but I don’t want to wrestle ya, I wanna beat ya up”. Broadly the same thing but OK. Gene says, referring to Hogan, “if you put a good apple into a basket of bad apples... enough said”. I guess so.

Hacksaw’s promo here was actually pretty good. He conveyed his emotions well, and his facial expressions really sold what he was saying as genuine. Just a shame I had to watch a match with him involved first.

We see footage of Arn creepily peering into a random limo last week...

Totally normal behaviour.

WCW loves showing this shot of Mickey. Maybe they were contractually obliged to do it.

Ric Flair’s music hits, and out come three of the four horsemen, plus the ladies.

As of yet no explanation has been given for Flair’s no-show last week. The horsemen don’t seem overly bothered by it though. 

Sting’s theme music hits, and out come the Stinger, Lex Luger, and the Macho Man.

I’ll admit to having a bit of a soft spot for the “Man Called Sting” theme song. I actually like a lot of those older WCW songs - Man Called Sting, Steinerized, American Made... I have an eclectic taste in music. Don’t judge me.

Tony repeats that Sting only suffered “minor injuries” after being attacked and he thinks the Outsiders were “just trying to send a message”. Uh, no. If they were sending a message they maybe would have shoved him over, or yelled some threats, or something else vaguely threatening. The pair of them quite literally punched Sting repeatedly and slammed a car boot against his back. I love how the commentators don’t see this as anything major. Just another day in the crazy world of wrestling. Larry calls it “a game of chess”. Most people would call it criminal assault.

Well anyway, these guys waste no time, a brawl starts...

And the match is on.

Ric Flair, Steve McMichael & Chris Benoit Vs Sting, Lex Luger & Macho Man

The match starts with mostly brawling outside of the ring. Sting and Flair are in the ring fighting for about twenty seconds but they’re soon out on the floor as well. We have to go to a break, and during that break we see...

Remember how I noted the dates had been dropping from the “coming soon” part of Glacier’s promo? Now even COMING SOON has gone. Maybe eventually it won’t even show “GLACIER” any more, it’ll just be the symbol in the background. Then a black screen. Then maybe it’ll just become a Mortal Kombat advert. Would have been a better idea than what eventually happened, but let’s forget about BLOOD RUNS COLD for now.  

We come back and the bell sounds. Things are finally under control.

We start off with Sting and Benoit. Sting takes charge and Benoit rolls over towards Flair and Mongo. Flair holds out his hand for a tag...

And comes in. Sting is going to tag Macho in but Flair knocks Macho off the apron before Sting can make a tag. Soon Flair and Savage are fighting on the floor, near that stupid unnecessary VIP table. The ridiculous candlestick in the middle gets knocked over...

Good. Although they’re lucky it wasn’t lit, or that shit could have ended up on fire. Meanwhile Savage picks up the bowl of fruit and dumps it onto Flair. 

Fruit all over the floor. What a waste.

Flair runs back into the ring but immediately eats a press slam from Sting.

As you can see, the crowd are loving it.

Macho gets tagged in, which leads Flair to drop to the outside and plant a kiss on Miss Elizabeth. This angers Macho who runs over, but gets caught out and double-teamed by Flair and Mongo. The advantage doesn’t last for long though, and soon Savage is back on top. Annoyed by how useless he is at fighting, Flair walks off.

Bye, then.

For some reason Flair stops walking away, sees Savage coming after him and just drops to his knees begging off. This never works and I don’t know why he didn’t just start running. Schaivone says Flair was trying to hide, but if so that was a pretty shitty place to try and hide. Savage throws Flair into the metal bleachers. As he leads Flair back to the ring, I’m sure I hear someone in the crowd say “Macho, put some cheese on it”. What? He might have said “Nacho” instead, so I guess that is kind of a burn, but... not really. I suppose it’s possible he was advising a friend how to best serve nachos, very loudly, and just happened to get picked up on camera. You gotta put cheese on nachos, no doubt.  

Next up Mongo and Luger are tagged in. Oh joy. The fans chant “Luger”. Say what you want about Lex, but until mid-1998 or so he was consistently over with WCW fans.

As Larry is talking about Mongo having “great teachers” in Flair and Anderson, Mongo completely botches running into the ropes and somehow falls through them.

Look at the faces on Lex, Benoit and Flair. W T Fuck? Mongo - unable to run the fucking ropes without botching, but still a member of the Four Horsemen. Both hilarious and tragic. The announcers cover for this by saying that Luger threw Mongo out of the ring through sheer strength. It’s not a bad save in fairness.

Thankfully Mongo tags back out to Flair, who is able to run the ropes without falling outside the ring. He just gets beaten up again though. Flair is just the worst fighter. He so rarely gets in any offence. Benoit comes in and kicks the shit out of Luger. Savage comes in and takes Benoit down, even though he isn’t the legal man. 

Tony mentions that the Dungeon of Doom have “literally” put a bounty on Benoit’s head. I assume that’s just to beat him in a wrestling match, not actually kill him, but it’s the Dungeon of Doom so... who fucking knows. It might be to shave Benoit’s entire body. According to the Giant that’s what the Dungeon like doing.

Flair takes a brutal superplex from Sting. 

That image is a second or so after they landed. Some serious impact. They both literally bounce up like they’re on a trampoline. Mongo is then tagged in again - uh oh spagettios. He basically clotheslines Sting in the corner, executes a tame looking backbreaker, and tags back out to Benoit. Good idea.

Eventually it’s back to Flair and Sting. Slick Ric puts Sting in the Figure Four.

Sting isn’t really selling it much. He looks mildly inconvenienced. Flair starts slapping Sting in the face.

This just annoys Sting, who ends up reversing the Figure Four. Flair tries locking it in again but Sting counters into a rollup.

Flair kicks out and tags in Benoit. The Crippler attacks Sting’s leg and hits him with a snap suplex. Sting kicks out at two. Benoit then puts Sting in a nasty looking Lion Tamer.

He struggles to get full extension on it due to the height difference but it still looks uncomfortable to say the least. 

Luger comes in and breaks the submission up. Benoit tags Flair back in. 

Suddenly Jimmy Hart comes running out, yelling at the cameraman that “we need help” and for him to “come to the back”. 

What good is a cameraman going to do if you need help? 

Drunk?

Well, regardless, the cameraman decides to listen to this lunatic and starts running towards the backstage area. Hart gets up on the apron and tries to get everybody’s attention.

Hilariously the wrestlers just totally ignore him, even though he’s going berserk on the apron. 

Hart finally gets Luger’s attention and yells at him that they need to get to the back.

Who’s on the bottom of Jimmy’s insane tie by the way? I want that tie.

We cut to the back where the cameraman has assumedly ended up, and we see Arn Anderson is down. Hall and Nash are hanging around with baseball bats.

Not sure what that stain is down by Arn’s foot. Not sure I want to know.

I love how these two are just smashing the shit out of people with baseball bats, and still... no thought to call the police. I feel like at this point these two could literally cave somebody’s head in with those bats, murder them live on TV, and Tony would say they’re “sending a message”, Larry would say it’s a “game of chess” - where you smash the fuck out of your opponent’s pieces, apparently - and they’d try to settle it at a PPV. 

Anyhow, the other guy laying on the ground is Marcus Bagwell. 

His tag team partner Scotty Riggs comes out and turns his back to the Outsiders, oblivious to the fact they are obviously the cause of his partner’s injury. What a dunce. He’s also standing like he’s got rickets. 

Hall cracks him over the head with something like light rigging. The camera turns...

And we see Rey Mysterio is standing on the rails here like it’s a turnbuckle. He tries a flying cross body onto Nash, but the big man catches Rey like he’s a small child, aims him towards the trailer and...

Tosses him into the side of it like a lawn dart. One of the more iconic moments of the original nWo invasion, one that everybody remembers. It looked like a rough bump to take, but kudos to Rey for taking it.

The Outsiders get back into their limo just as the Macho Man arrives. Savage dives on top of the limo and reaches through the sunroof as it starts to drive off...

This won’t end well. 

The limo literally drives off with Savage riding on top. Nice knowing you, Macho.

As Savage rides off into the night atop of the Outsiders’ limousine, the backstage area is now filled with wrestlers and yellow shirt security. Just where the fuck were these fuckers when the Outsiders were beating the shit out of people? Obviously the wrestlers in the ring had a reason not to be there, but what were these security people doing? It’s a bit late to be out there now, assholes.

We come back from a break and Woman is cradling Arn like he’s about to die.

Liz and her boobs are there too.

A fire truck arrives. What incompetent idiot called for a fucking fire truck? You have three choices and the only wrong choice would be to call a fire truck. Yet here we are. What are the firemen going to do, hose everybody down? 

Rey is on the ground, holding his head and yelling that “there were four”. Well, unless he’s counting the baseball bats as members of the nWo there were definitely only two. I suppose you could count three if you include the limo driver, but the assumption is that he was just a random dude hired to drive, rather than an nWo member.

An ambulance turns up. That’s more like it. 

I’ve just realised this fucks the rest of the card. Eddie Vs Rey ain’t happening now, neither is American Males Vs the Steiners or Anderson Vs the Giant. Why do I get the feeling the replacements in these matches are going to be a significant downgrade?

Mysterio is having a neck brace put on, and during this time Alex Wright is yelling “Hey Rey! What do you mean by four? What do you mean by four?” ... dude, the guy just got thrown head first into the side of a fucking trailer. Screaming questions at him probably isn’t the best thing to do right now. The medics take Rey’s mask off to treat him. Tony acts shocked by this and says that in Mexico masked wrestlers never take their masks off. Of course, in Mexico they probably aren’t propelled head first into trailers either, so, you know. Hard to treat a head injury when the entire skull is covered by a mask, Tony. 

 Benoit appears to be crying over Arn’s condition. 

Eddie wants to go to the hospital with Rey, but Alex Wright reminds Eddie he’s got a match, and he’ll go instead. The match was with Mysterio so actually Eddie doesn’t have a match anymore, but whatever. If I was Rey I wouldn’t want some German guy sitting next to me yelling “WHAT DO YOU MEAN FOUR?” over and over but the ambulance crew evidently don’t see a problem with it. 

Benoit is still on the verge of tears. He looks like a little boy who’s just seen a dog get run over. Larry says “I know how much Benoit looks up to Arn. This is disheartening”. Disheartening? Is that the best word you can come up with, Larry? Disheartening would be if Arn forgot a conversation they’d had last week. The guy just got attacked and apparently severely injured by two big guys with baseball bats and all you can say is it’s “disheartening”? Jeez.

For some reason Benoit starts getting into it with Meng...

Good thing those ambulances are there. Benoit’s going to need one as well if he starts on Meng.

We go back to Tony and Larry who look a little lost. How boring must this be for the fans out there? As far as I’m aware there’s no screen anywhere showing them what’s happening out the back, so they’re just sitting there looking at an empty ring. I appreciate the tickets were free, but still... 

We go to a break, and when we come back there’s still nothing of note happening. 

Bischoff and Heenan (wearing the same shirt as Zybszko) have arrived, but Tony and Larry haven’e gone anywhere yet. I’m surprised the crowd are still hanging around to be honest. It’s surely been at least twenty minutes for them now.

Heenan says he’s not going to do the broadcast tonight unless he can be guaranteed he won’t be physically hurt. Probably a conversation that should have happened off-air, but whatever. Bischoff says he can’t give Heenan any promises and he should do whatever he feels he has to do. So Bobby leaves. 

Tony says “the wheels are falling off here”. Bischoff says that “fortunately” the fans in attendance can’t see what happened or is happening in the back. Yeah, Eric, I’m sure they would much prefer to stand around staring at an empty ring for half an hour. What a fun time.

A funny thing to note whilst this shit continues to go down - apparently during this incident somebody legitimately did call the emergency services as they thought a gang fight had broken out. At Disneyworld. I’d like to know which gang has claimed the Disney/MGM studios as their turf. Going around spraying Mickey Mouse graffiti everywhere. You don’t fuck with the DisneyWorld Baseball Bat Crew.

Understandably, there’s a loud “BORING” chant from the crowd. Eric says the crowd are “anxious”, Tony points out more astutely that it’s because they’re not seeing what’s going on backstage and nothing is happening in the ring. Of course they’re fucking bored. This is a really cool angle on TV, don’t get me wrong, but those poor fuckers in the crowd are being screwed over big time.

An “nWo” chant breaks out. We see Arn Anderson getting loaded into the ambulance. Bagwell is then loaded into the same ambulance. Sting is holding one of the baseball bats that the Outsiders used. Bischoff calls it “evidence”. Should probably be handing that over to the police, although it only appears that an ambulance and fire truck have shown up. It’s almost like in the world of WCW police simply don’t exist. They’re never mentioned and never seen. The best we get are security guards who are absolutely useless. Remember a few Nitros ago when it took about a hundred security guards to get Hall and Nash out of the arena, and half an hour later the Outsiders were still backstage fucking shit up? WCW hires terrible security and has no understanding of how to file a charge with the police. No wonder Heenan ran off.

Fireworks inappropriately go off behind the WCW sign as we go into a commercial break. That’s the most exciting thing that crowd has seen in about half an hour or so. 

It looks like High Voltage are replacing the American Males.

They’re both yelling stuff that makes no sense.

These kids have become so bored that they’re screaming in excitement for High Voltage of all teams. 

“Here’s a story of two brothers, Rick and Scott...”

Scott’s gigantic arms are covered by his Michigan jersey. The Steiners come out looking quite subdued, with Rick constantly looking behind him. The Outsiders drove off in a limo with Macho Man on top, guys, I think you’re OK. Macho hopefully isn’t laying splattered on a pavement somewhere. Nobody really seems bothered that they saw Savage hanging onto a moving vehicle as it drove away. 

Even though Rick is clearly bothered by what’s happened, he’s still barking. But it’s kind of a sad, tentative bark. You could argue that he shouldn’t be barking at all, but, that’s another story. A lot of things happen in WCW that make no sense.

The Steiner Brothers Vs High Voltage

Scott Steiner starts off dominating Chaos. Fireworks are still going off. Rick Steiner is still totally distracted and won’t get up on the ring apron.

Scott is starting to get pissed off. 

Rick gets tagged in. He barks a few times, then turns away from Chaos and starts pointing towards the empty entranceway. Chaos takes advantage and hammers Rick with a few punches. Rage gets tagged in, and he and Chaos hit a double drop kick on Rick Steiner. Fireworks are STILL going off behind the WCW sign. I have to assume WCW has no control over this.

Rage hits Rick with a flying shoulder block from the top turnbuckle. Rick kicks out at two. The crowd bark in unison to try and lift Rick Steiner.

Chaos goes up to the top turnbuckle, and I think Rick is supposed to reverse Chaos’ jump into a powerslam, but Rick instead just kind of ignores Chaos and does a half-hearted slam motion as Chaos flips over him and crashes to the mat. Made Chaos look like a total chode.

Scotty gets tagged back in and hits Rage with an underarm suplex. For some reason Scotty tags Rick straight back in. Questionable decision considering Rick seems to be struggling to focus unless the crowd is barking “woof woof woof” at him.

Well anyhow, Rick tags Scotty back in after hitting a few moves on Rage and knocking Chaos off the apron. Scott picks Rage up in a Falcon Arrow type position, holds him there for a few moments...

Then drops him right on his head.

It’s basically the Falcon Arrow but way more hardcore. 

Scott gets the three count and this one is over. Low Voltage.

The Steiner Brothers defeat High Voltage via Pinfall.

The crowd are very happy with this outcome. Two guys in the front row exchange a double high five. I guess they wouldn’t mind getting Steinerized.

Yeah... sorry. Anyway.

We’re back to the broadcast position and Bischoff calls it “A heck of a broadcast so far”. Yep. As long as you aren’t in the crowd it’s been a fairly good show.

Tony and Larry look like they’ve just been told Christmas is cancelled. Cheer up guys. Bischoff says “half of WCW have left in ambulances”, which is a pretty significant exaggeration. Bagwell, Riggs, Rey and Arn. That’s four. So unless WCW only has an official roster of eight people I think we can say that an estimate of half is wildly out. I suppose you can count Alex Wright, Sting and Flair as well, since they hopped into the ambulances too, but still.  

I think Tony and Larry are supposed to be looking upset/irritated, but Tony just looks fucking depressed and Larry looks like a kid who’s just been given a time out. Eric says the Outsiders will go “wherever there isn’t security, wherever the weakness of WCW is. That’s where they’ll be”. Well, to review, they’ve come through the crowd and into the ring without being stopped. They’ve ended up at the broadcast booth multiple times without being stopped. They’ve been able to commandeer a live microphone and talk trash multiple times without being stopped. They’ve draped banners over the WCW logo without being stopped. They’ve broken into the production truck and fucked around with the broadcast without being stopped. They’ve powerbombed Bischoff off a stage on PPV without being stopped. They’ve attacked Sting after a Saturday Night taping without being stopped. And they’ve just beaten up multiple people with baseball bats without being stopped. So, yeah, WCW’s weaknesses are basically everything and I’m not convinced they even hire genuine security. If they do then they should probably look at hiring another company.

Oh, here comes Rey’s replacement.

You’ve got to be kidding. How is Big Bubba an appropriate replacement for Rey Mysterio? He weighs about five times as much as Rey and has about a fifth of Rey’s ability in the ring. The name graphic makes it look like Jimmy Hart is “Big Bubba”, which did make me chuckle.

Out comes Eddie.

Eddie Guerrero Vs Big Bubba

This match goes on for a while. I’m skipping towards the end because who cares about any match involving Big Bubba?

I skip ahead and get this visual.

Imagine waking up with that hovering over your face. Terrifying. He mumbles “Big Bubba Rogers” but I can’t make anything else out. 

Match ends when Jimmy Hart attempts to throw Bubba his megaphone to use as a weapon. 

Hart also hugs the referee. 

Bubba lets go o the megaphone, which goes flying into the air, as Eddie grabs him in a rollup. Eddie gets the three, and that’s that. 

Eddie Guerrero defeats Big Bubba via Pinfall. 

We come back from the break to “the following announcement has been paid for by the New World Order”.

Cool. I think this is the first time we’ve had one of these on Nitro. The Outsiders and Hogan are in some kind of studio. The camera cuts randomly between them as the nWo music plays in the background. The video begins like a computer game struggling with inconsistent framerate. 

Hogan says “it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it”. Nash says “people wonder who’s gonna be next? Don’t call us, we’ll call you”. “Yeah,” says Hall. “It’s invitation only, chicos”. 

We get a shot of the three nWo members, whilst video highlights of Hogan play behind them. Hogan says there’s a new world order, and he hopes that’s okay, because there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Nash lists “power, fame, money, and now our own corporation” as the positives. Hall says “think about it, nWo, we’re new, we’re taking over World Championship Wrestling, and we’re giving all the orders”. Not sure the nWo name really needed an explanation, but OK, sure. Hogan yells “it’s the new way, is that OK, billionaire Ted?” ... not sure if he intended to rhyme or not. Hogan quotes humpty dumpty be saying all of Ted Turner’s horses and all of his men won’t be able to put WCW back together again. That’s the second promo in recent times that’s referenced humpty dumpty. First the Giant, now Hogan. Coincidence, I guess? Or the WCW locker room really loves that nursery rhyme.

Hall starts talking about who the fourth or fifth member of the nWo is going to be, and Hogan starts laughing really loudly. A typical evil villain type laugh which kind of throws Hall for a second.

Nash is trying not to laugh at Hogan’s cartoon-villain cackle. Hall says that Sting and Luger have gotten soft at “billionaire Ted’s country club”. He says that he and Nash have had to claw and scratch for everything they’ve got, and that they want Sting and Luger. In the ring, I assume/hope. 

Hogan says he almost forgot that he’s wrestling the Giant at Hog Wild for the world title. Liar. He says that he finds it ironic that WCW could be so weak to have to beg for the Giant to save them from the nWo. Hogan says on August 10th the Outsiders will become the Insiders, and with 500,000 “vroom-baa Harley Davidsons” by their side the nWo “will establish itself as the greatest wrestling organisation on the Earth, brother”. 

OK. The nWo is not exactly a wrestling organisation. It’s just a faction with three dudes in it. Later on you could argue it’s more of an organisation, but right now? No. 

Hall calls Sting a “painted face punk” and says “don’t sing it, bring it.” Nash says they call it “Armageddon” and that “Genesis has begun. It’s the beginning of the new world order”. Didn’t expect a shout out to the bible in here but there you go. Hogan finishes the promo by saying that as the Outsiders take care of the “top talent” in WCW, the Giant will crumble at his feet.

It’s amusing how in these promos Hogan is still basically in Hulk promo mode, yelling, hollering and using big words that don’t necessarily mean what he thinks they mean. Hall and Nash have much calmer, cooler delivery which contrasts quite sharply to Hogan’s more 80′s approach. They pull it together well by editing a lot of Hogan’s stuff to make it more succinct and to the point.

Eric Bischoff has left the broadcast position, leaving Tony and Larry to handle the last fifteen minutes or so of the broadcast. They recap events from earlier in the night. The crowd have had another long wait, between the end of the last match, the nWo promo which none of them would have seen, and now this recap of events earlier in the night that they’re also not seeing. Oh, and they had to sit through long matches involving Jim Duggan, Mike Enos and Big Bubba. I know they got into this show for free, but they still deserve a refund. 

Still, we have the main event left. This is WCW’s chance to replace Arn Anderson with somebody exciting, somebody fresh, somebody who can get the crowd on their feet, somebody who...

Oh.

Greg Valentine.

Greg “charisma” Valentine.

I mean, if this was 1986 then this would have been a decent replacement, but it’s not. These poor fans. 

On the plus side this is unlikely to lost long.

The Giant Vs Greg “the hammer” Valentine

It’s for all the gold. The WCW world title looked so awesome. 

The Hammer manages to rock the Giant early on with a few chops to the chest and clotheslines. 

Doesn’t last long though. Giant knocks Valentine down, picks him up, smashes him across the back, then puts him into the corner and chokes him with his boot. Giant then throws Valentine across to the opposite turnbuckle, goes for some kind of weird splash/elbow but misses in a move very obviously telegraphed, yet somehow the cameramen miss it anyway. 

Valentine heads up top and hits a double axe handle. Giant is momentarily dizzy, but as Valentine scrambles up to the second turnbuckle to try another move, Giant drops the strap on his outfit, runs over and puts his hand around Valentine’s neck.

Uh oh.

Splat. Unsatisfied, Giant roars a few times then picks Valentine up and hits a second chokeslam.

Thanks for coming, Greg. Hey, I’ve just noticed, the dude in the middle on the left with the tash has definitely been at previous shows. So has the woman three to the right from him. I remember her dancing with her daughter to the Nasty Boys theme. The daughter doesn’t appear to be there this time. No Nasty Boys, no interest, I guess. I had no idea WCW had repeated customers for these shows, I always assumed it was just random park guests turning up.

As an aside, check out the guys on the bottom right. Either doing the most awkward wave ever or vicariously living through the Giant chokeslamming poor old Greg. 

The Giant defeats Greg “the hammer” Valentine via Pinfall.

Post-match, Giant leans into the camera and says “I want you to listen real close Hulk Hogan. Pay attention, and listen real close”. He then walks away. I assume he’s going to be interviewed?

Yes, indeed, Mean Gene is in the ring with the Giant. Haven’t seen much of Gene-o tonight. I kind of missed the shit-stirring bell.

Giant is either ripping a major fart or mocking Hogan’s poses. Hopefully the latter, although Jimmy Hart’s expression suggests it could be the former.

Gene asks Giant about Hog Wild. Giant continues mocking Hogan by saying “well you know something Mean Gene, I’ve been to the top of the mountain brother, I’ve walked through the valley of the shadow of death...” Gene pulls the mic away and asks if the Giant has lost his marbles. “That’s a knock off on Hogan!” - no shit, Gene. 

Giant laughs. He says Hogan “conned America”, because he didn’t believe the things he preached. Giant says Hogan started the nWo because he knew he couldn’t be “the big fish in WCW”. Giant says that whilst Hogan has been making movies, he’s been defending the title. Giant says if WCW doesn’t hang together, then they’ll all hang separately, and he’s got a chokeslam noose that’ll fit around Hogan’s neck.

For some reason Okerlund gives the mic to Jimmy Hart, who appears to have taken a shitload of High Voltage’s uppers. He’s all over the place, ranting about “living wrestling 24/7″ and says sometimes he lies so much he believes in his own lies. 

Hart says that one day he’ll have to pay for the things he’s done, but at Hog Wild, they’ll take Hogan out. Well... OK, then. Sounds like Jimmy is involved in some pretty shady shit.

Gene bids us goodnight from Orlando, and WCW decide to show the Outsiders beating the shit out of the WCW guys one more time. Because why not, I guess? They show a slow mo of Rey getting lawn darted into the trailer, and the show ends with a still shot of this as the Nitro music plays in the background.

Nice. I’m sure Rey appreciates that.
