aberdeen times - Why Ripple ($XRP), Litecoin ($LTC), And IOTA ($IOT) WILL Rise!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 15:54:00 -0800

What's going on snipers my email a baby here, hope all of you guys are having a wonderful day today Let's go ahead and dive right into our daily cryptocurrency analytics for today We're gonna be talking about my three favorite coins which is ripple iota and light coin right now I'm gonna talk about exactly how we could have actually Predicted the growth over the past coming days as well as where the future lies for these three coins so as we could see with This ripple chart. It was actually really easy to predict this for you. New traders. You know I like to use very basic Simple techniques for you guys to actually see here, so this is called a pennant.

I and I'm gonna show you guys exactly What a pennant is if you guys are on our discord the link is in the description below It's a free resource that I've created for the community to actually participate and learn If we go to trading 101 here, so we have resources and then trading 101 resistance is a price level that may prompt an increase of selling activity and a Support levels a price that may prompt a net increase of buying activity just to show you guys that really quick if you're new Support levels are formed at the top. It's also called the top and then the resistance levels are formed at the bottom They are called the resistance or you can call them droves so in this formation we see a pennant It's a clear indication that we're gonna see a price movement if you go to our trading 101 Just scroll down As you can see we have all of these listed out for you shout out to Alan for making this for us And this is a pennant here So a pennant is created when there's a significant price movement in the stock followed by period of consolidation This creates the pennant shape due to the converging lines, so you guys can actually read this if you want But pretty much we see a breakout at this last point where it gets extremely narrow And as you can see this was a clear pennant I posted this on our discord as you, and I post all of our price alerts there And then we obviously did see this breakout now We're seeing some consolidation But I think we're definitely going to be seeing a lot of this volatility over the next couple of days just based on bitcoins drop in price right now obviously Bitcoin controls typically 50 percent of the market So it's gonna definitely influence all these other coins so for XRP the reason I like it is because it's an amazing It's amazing coin due to the team that's behind it in my opinion being that they're number four their market caps Currently at twenty nine billion. They have over 38 billion coins and circulating supply I like the fact that it's centralized if you guys watched my ripple video on why I think it'll rise in 2018 I talked about the pros and the cons But being centralized and working with banks is typically a good thing so go ahead and watch that video if you actually check that out Let's go to talk about litecoin Why is this my other favorite coin, and I want to show you guys a very clear pattern formation here So as you can see we there's a clear ascending triangle forming here And I'll show you guys exactly how that looks on our discord as well But this was the ascending triangle that we saw here form and if you go here to our Resource ascending triangle as you can see this triangles usually appears during an upward trend and is regarded as a continuation pattern so this is really where the breakout occurs and Exactly what we saw here occurred here And that's why I highly recommend using these resources to your advantage guys as we can see very similar to RIP what we see this consolidation immediately afterwards due to bitcoins consolidation That's a occurring right now as we speak so obviously you guys know I like ripple and it's because of the team and primarily because it's in a niche market as well You're talking about banking over 70% of Transactions in Japan actually touch the ripple net so at the end of the day what I would say for litecoin is Being that Bitcoin has risen in price over this past year I feel like personally litecoin didn't see a lot of traction during that timeframe and because of that it's undervalue That's really the one reason. I like light coin right now I think it's truly an undervalued Coin based on the amount of volume you see on a daily basis look if you look at light coin It's running two billion in volume versus iota at 1 billion right behind it So this is a perfect time to transition into iota chart for the last two video breaks guys I actually had somebody actually call me right now to disrupted the video, and then I got a text after that I don't like to have those sounds and stuff in my videos But Iona why do I like iota? I think Iona being a fourteen billion dollar market cap at two billion in circulating supply right now a lot less than ripple I can definitely see a potential for iota Like coin rip, why own a Bitcoin cash aetherium and Bitcoin are all very different coins I think I own a project definitely has a lot of potential and the team behind it Also has a very big vision for where it can go, and if we look at the chart here We see a very clear cup and handle forming right over here on this right hand side and pretty much what we saw here was A huge breakout as expected if you guys don't know what a cup and handle hood is this is the base of the cup? Right down here.

This is called the cup handle Initially you're gonna want to see this negative price breakout right before that and then you see this as our breakout point This actually lead 'add or led to this price break out if you guys go to your resource here And you look at a cup and handle you could have easily predicted this one I think we did this on a live stream actually because I did see the drawings before I made this video so the breakout occurs Right here, it's the exact same pattern here, so if you guys go on the discord This will really help you guys out, but other than that I hope you guys enjoyed this video guys if you guys need anything Just let me know. We're definitely gonna make more of these videos tonight tonight We'll do a live stream on what to do when Bitcoin drops suddenly And I'm gonna be making that video today so other than that guys Thank you so much for tuning in and that's it for today guys so snipers out.

aberdeen times - What is Litecoin

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

What is Litecoin?
Litecoin is a decentralized online currency created in October 2011.
Litecoin can be used to purchase services, such as website development.
Or to buy goods, like jewelry or tea. Litecoin provides a safe and easy way for
merchants to accept money. As there are no fees to receive payments and
no charge-backs. All transactions are recorded on a public
ledger known as the blockchain.

So payments can be immediately verified.
With Litecoin, you can send money anywhere in the world--to anyone, instantly.
The transaction fees are considerably less than credit card companies, traditional bank
transfers, and even other digital payment processors. For example, a business in Singapore can receive a payment from a customer in San Francisco
in a manner of seconds. Additionally, both parties have clear proof
that the payment was sent and received. Litecoin works using secure software that
allows you to make payments as easily as sending an email.

You can send and store them securely on your computer or your mobile device. There will only ever be 84 million Litecoins so you will never have to worry about inflation
decreasing the value of your Litecoins. Litecoin has a stable, established marketplace
consisting of many exchanges that handle tens of millions of dollars in Litecoin trades
everyday. You can use these trusted exchanges to trade
your dollars Euros and other fiat currencies for Litecoin.
The possibilities are endless.

Welcome to the future of commerce.
Welcome to Litecoin. To become part of the future and learn more

aberdeen times - The Halving Explained (LitecoinBitcoin)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

With Litecoin's first ever halving soon
to be upon us we are already beginning to see the affects. So, what a better time to discuss exactly
that. Sit back because this going to get interesting. By no means is Litecoin the first
coin to be halved.

In fact, back on November 28th, 2012 Bitcoin underwent its first-ever
halving. So we alredy have a good idea of what to expect just by looking at history. Okay, so what
do we actually mean when we refer to a coin as "halving?" Well, it's pretty simple: it means the mining
reward halves. In the case of Litecoin, miners are
currently awarded 50 new coins for solving blocks.

After halving, miners will be rewarded 25
Litecoins per block. This process only takes place once
half of all the coins are in existence. And then another half, and another half,
and so on and so forth. The halving process doesn't just happen
once.

For both Bitcoin and Litecoin this is set to
happen every four years as is stated in their code.
But for other coins, this may vary. While nobody really
knows for sure when the last few coins will be mined, we
expected to it be around 2142 for Litecoin and 2140 for Bitcoin. Based on the reward over this time. Of course by then, only 0.00000672 Litecoins will be mined each day.

Until eventually all 84 million Litecoins are in existence. Clearly, this is a positive thing as
inflation slows each time, less coins for the market, and therefore
everyone's coins rise in price as a result. So why does Litecoin
actually look like this before the halving? Well, the most
likely answer is that people are expecting the price to rise so in anticipation they are buying up these "cheap" undervalued coins--in their mind-- while they are at this current price. We
should also point out that crypto currency has come a long way since 2012
when Bitcoin underwent its first halving.

Thus in turn, this sudden rush and
demand of people wanting to buy-in has, in turn, pushed the price of Litecoin
higher. There is however, one more part to the
equation: the miners. As we know miners invest in specialized equipment in order to
actually mine the coins. Just like any other business, they need
to make a profit.

Otherwise it's just not worth them doing
so. And now that income is about to be cut in half a lot of their ineffective equipment is about to be shut off. That is, unless the market price of the
coins rise to a point where they can continue to make a profit. By the way, the miners face one of two
options.

Those being: the price rises and everything stays
pretty much the same as it is now. However if it doesn't, a lot of miners
will no longer be able to operate. In turn, the network hash rate will drop
as they begin to shut off. Leaving only mining farms in places
such as China working.

Resulting in a less
distributed network. If a network hash rate drops low enough, The mining difficulty will automatically adjust itself. Meaning those who stopped, may be able to
start mining again at a profit. While we do not know
how high the price of go during this period, we do expect that after all is said and
done, the price will settle higher than it was in the few months leading up to the halving..

aberdeen times - The 1 Bitcoin Show- Half trillion dollar crypto market cap, Litecoin, IOTA, Super BTC, Bcash

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 15:54:00 -0800

did we email these show did you email me I get so many emails anyway see Russ is
in the chat Russell's in the chat right now if you're in the chat you want to
have a question do the super chat I'll notice you but I see Russ is Russell's
picture and actually I linked to I'll talk about his steam it post in in a
moment here so let's shot let's let's first of all talk about the
good news here that the crypto occurred the total market cap of cryptocurrency
is approaching half a trillion dollars I. Mean that's amazing this is some serious
money now isn't it when you look at it from that perspective when you start
talking about the T word there and don't worry one day one day we might have a
trillionaire come out of all this the Winklevoss brothers want to be the first
trillionaires on earth they're well on their way to being that and I wish them
luck I hope they become the first trillion Arizona on earth because if the
wincle by become trillionaires or combined a trillionaire then all of us
who hold Bitcoin are going to be doing really well also so delayed
gratification people I forgot to say that strong hand delayed gratification
people people are getting pretty bubblicious here so they forget about
the late gratification they're like oh I. Gotta get back an alts now no people
calm down we're gonna talk about we're gonna talk
about the litecoin altcoin was that still it still when it boils down to
it's nothing but a it's nothing but an all corn baby no I'm not Snoop Dogg nor
do I want to be that dude anyway but that was a song of his from back in the
day wasn't it ain't nothin but a G thang baby look look a lot of things like a
black man now yeah real good at them no I don't not a not a good rapper here no
but of course when you're an adolescent you listen to that's stuff uh-huh anyway
let's see oh yeah here's he tweet by uh money Triggs well that Dutch family that
sold their house and belongings for bitcoin India thousands is laughing now
oh yeah they're laughing now now I. Thought that was pretty gimmicky baby
well all the media covers that they got was pretty gimmicky but when you boil
down to it my lord they sold everything for Bitcoin when it was like worth
$1,800 or $1,200 they're doing really well now I hope that does family takes
care of their kids and you know lives a good life
yeah i-i'll Inc two Russ's steam it below I haven't read the whole thing yet
but uh vortex said it was good so I'm trusting vortex and again if you if you
point out your steam it's to me I will receive it ivory Steen rustles uh steam
steam it post also this is live old steam it right now
if you're all steam it you can watch this video that I'm doing right now live
or you can watch it later on steam it because I'm coordinating with my steam
it page I'm bitcoinmeister on there and we're gonna talk about some other people
from steam it who pointed out air there post to me that I Reece teamed and then
I will talk about in this video okay so light coin everyone is talking
about the light coin pump I mean y-yeah okay now now it is
approaching an all-time high in big in terms of big coin it's approaching that
if you have like coin I would definitely sell it now to get your to get your
point o to Bitcoin who cares and it goes up higher you're still getting point o
to Bitcoin the likelihood that it's gonna go up higher I don't think this is
gonna continue it already was higher earlier in the day so people who bought
it around four hundred dollars and now it's back around three hundred dollars
they might not end up very happy people this is not something to play with
this is not something to play with um but hey it's it's your risk if you want
to risk your precious Bitcoin on this altcoin whatever I noticed that Glenn
Beck had Charlie Leon on the 7th so that might have helped - that didn't hurt I
did notice that Glenn Beck has gained a lot of weights as the last time I saw
him pound that like button if you're looking forward to the end of this show
where I'm gonna have that Adam's health talk because some people wanted me to
talk about healthy lifestyle again you know I'm into that stuff we're gonna get
into that don't be going back I'll tell you that whatever hazing you don't want
to be eaten oh my god so oh yeah going back to chocolate so the mainstream
media is even coverage covering this light point pump so it's it's it's
fueling its fueling itself now okay the
it's going up in value a Charlie leave was on was on what was he on CNBC or
something recently so these are all factors but again for me the main factor
is that newbies on coinbase see that bitcoin is is so expensive they like I'm
gonna get the cheapest thing here and that's litecoin they're also getting
aetherium you can see this in the theorems numbers popping up now there
are people tweeting about this you know G Dax
I think G Dax does include coinbase G.

Dax is basically coinbase if you look at
a theory I'm a light coin that makes up a huge hunk of their numbers right now
so this is just an example of that all coin pumps can happen at any time that
can happen for all sorts of strange reasons like bitcoin is too expensive
people don't understand they can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin there are too many
new people coming the coin base all at once but I mean it shows you that hey
it's all cyclical be cash is gonna pump again also speaking of coin base and be
cash and pumps when coinbase finally releases the B cash and everyone starts
to dump their B cash it might drop for a while but then then what is B cash is
big that's going to be sold on coin base is that gonna be the next listing on
coin base I mean since they're taking their time giving it out you think
there'd be working with something behind the scenes pertaining the B cash they're
not exactly the biggest bitcoin fans in the world over there I don't know that
could be the next V cash pump because coin based suddenly decides to list it
Quinn base like Omar hey Tom they influenced pumps they do we're
experiencing one right now with litecoin and I've recreated some Lake Point stuff
check out my my twitter at tech thought I'm not gonna get in all the stuff that
I did tweet but but it's interesting because I mean like coin e litecoin is a
testament for Bitcoin that's about it that's about all it is for me man
good luck it's a back up it's it's like well be cash is insurance for be cash is
insurance for Bitcoin also I was gonna say light point isn't sure it is like
like worst-case scenario insurance for Bitcoin what did they used to call that
type of insurance anyway here we've got another tweet my house tour Melanie
coinbase two customers please invest responsibility responsibly customers
you're right let me get these cheaper coins LTC yeah that's what happened they
said that were the investors possibly and so they were so responsible that
they decided bitcoins too expensive I'll get these other things I don't know you
can buy a fret I didn't know you could buy a fraction of a Bitcoin and people
if you don't know that you can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin you probably even
shouldn't even be buying like coin etherium educate yourself watch more of
these videos okay here is a tweet that came out vini link ham had a tweet about
what what do you think is most undervalued cryptocurrency right now be
cash Bitcoin litecoin and aetherium it's actually still out there but bitcoin was
in third even though it's like more $17,000 20% of people thought a Bitcoin
was a most undervalued cryptocurrency out there right now but anyway under
that tweet is another tweet and I link to that tweet by Luigi Campos he says I
have no words to describe my disgust for how litecoin rode on the back of
people's ignorance of the fact that they can buy less than 1 unit of Bitcoin that
sums it out right there doesn't it but yeah check out that dudes tweet because
you will also be able to see in Vinny's poll that you'll be able to vote in if
you care about that kind of thing but yeah there's so many newbies in this
space there's so many 80 percenters in this space that all call social art all
coins are gonna pump for all sorts of reasons there's your reason all right so
we talked about they have a trillion dollar market cap we talked about like
coin what's else what else is next year oh I Oh duh time to talk about some more
iota for all you 80 percenters ok because dude remember
I only say to buy Bitcoin if you're a newbie here I buy no altcoin all coins
are a way if you happen to ask for all coins it's a great way to get Bitcoin
you can get all sorts of free alt coins for you know you can post little steam
it you get free steam if you hold Bitcoin you get all these crypto
dividends like the latest one that's out is super BTC we'll talk about that in a
second but you got freebie cash why buy be cash when you get it for free you
sell it for Bitcoin it's great but anyway here's a tweet from my Ozzy he
says funny how in the trust machine space
a company can falsely mislead the market about Microsoft partnership resulting in
a whale pump in market value without any consequences and then he says i io de
currency so apparently iota implied somehow that they had a partnership with
Microsoft but now they are stating that they don't have that so that might have
helped lead to the iota pump along with the fact that it's listed that all these
Korean people got into it maybe they caught that rumor and that's why they
pumped it who knows but it's just like iota is so sketchy
it is just so sketchy are the people behind it are clearly if they're putting
out these like Microsoft partnership rumors that aren't even true but hey man
if you're like an eighty percent or do you want to mess with these altcoins
be my guest in the end of the day I'm ending up with more Bitcoin because of
you guys I still don't know how you dudes by freaking steam dollars steam
back dollars from III I don't understand why you'd give up your precious Bitcoin
for steam back dollars you're giving me your precious Bitcoin given me more
Bitcoin it is awesome you want to be on my side of the train people
I'm telling you out there you want to be on my side of the trade it's it's it's
I'm doing well hey on a personal note this is a funny
little joke about you know everyone knows I'm doing really well with with
the crypto cart with the Bitcoin obviously
but I still live a frugal lifestyle I. Haven't changed at all and I have a
brother-in-law at least one brother-in-law I'm at least one
brother-in-law ok this brother-in-law I. Mean as I don't say how many siblings I
have it you know but this brother-in-law he likes to give me his shirts were the
same size and he's been giving me these nice shirts and I'm still taken I'm
still wearing a man it's awesome not Bitcoin really I mean just nice shirts
that the dude doesn't mean anymore like one like he just ordered a new jacket
from Amazon didn't fit him properly I. Got this new jacket now it's great too
just because I have a lot of Bitcoin doesn't mean I'm gonna I'm gonna give up
taking freebies and stuff from people who want to give me freebies I mean this
is this is called quality shirts the guys giving me
thanks a lot brother-in-law you're awesome man hey and you know what if I
die tomorrow your kids are gonna be really interesting too
they get the Bitcoin well they got to split it with a bunch of other kids but
still they'll be in real good shape and he's a good guy
yeah good guy to give me the shirts I.

Mean to this very day the jacket that I
wear my nice Jack it's his jacket these are not a heavy coat the heavy coat that
I wear he gave me like a few years I. Still wear it to this married heck you
can call Adam Meister cheap if you want to I call Adam moister smart because all
that money that I saved over the years from free stuff to people gave me I
invested in the Bitcoin and I would buy that Bitcoin at $400 $700 and everything
so yeah it pays off dude frugal lifestyle you you can you can sing you
can be part of like the mob that's like the hyper consumerism people or you
could be against consumerism you know live within your means you know
someone's gonna give you something nice for free hey take it and invest your
money into something that's worthwhile that you know is gonna rock this frickin
world and that you told people it was gonna rock this frickin world no shame
in that baby I'm really proud of it actually I'm gonna wear that jacket leap
ride baby I mean if I can tell you some of the chief things I do maybe we'll
have a show about all the cheap things that Adam does how he saved money over
the years and what not okay so but hey man it all went to
big Winston it's been great so yeah speaking of Charlie Lee being on TV uh
people are you know king of the trolls was recently on TV and if you don't know
who king of the trolls is then your new buddy my channel
I don't say his name he's a big player in be cash I don't give him uh I have no
respect ever spent for the day whatever I mean well now you know I I think if he
I had no respect for what he has done with with lately it with the be cash and
stuff if the dude starts his own a cryptocurrency country or whatever and
does some Oh more anarcho-capitalist stuff and then you know good for him
then but who cares who who the heck you know what you make up your own mind
about the dude but I'll say I'm not gonna give him any more attention give
if you anyway he was on TV made on mainstream media TV pumping up his coin
and that one's been going up lately so oh well as I said the dudes gonna keep
pumping he's free to do so why why the mainstream media lets him on their shows
well they don't know that you know they like they like talking about BTC Jesus
they call him Bitcoin geez they're so far behind the times in the mainstream
that they they still using the term Bitcoin Jesus I don't even know how he
can like accept that term anymore eme I. Would never
Alette I would never appear on the show that called me that well first of all
I'm Jewish so that's a whole different thing you know know that there's no way
if you called me Bitcoin Moses let's say I would not appear on it's like the
title of the show is Bitcoin Moses and that's that's taken a little too far I
mean I don't have an ego for God's sakes like no I'm proud I am proud of my
accomplishments and every single one of you who has done well through from
Bitcoin you might have 10 Bitcoin you might have 20 big when you might have a
hundred Bitcoin 210 Bitcoin you should you should tell the word world that
you've got a lot of it you don't have to say how much you have but you should be
proud of it because you did well in this world today this is a world of shame
where you supposed to be ashamed of everything shame shame shame you're a
part of the elite 1% no you should be proud because you planned
ahead that's what this that's what this channels about long-term thinking and
being proud of your accomplishments you know you know and that's something that
I'm at molyneux stefan molyneux talks about don't don't cower away and and say
oh I shouldn't I should feel bad that I'm rich no you should be happy that was
the goal baby you accomplished something be proud strong hand you were too strong
and you still have a strong hand and you should shout it to the world that you're
gonna continue to have a strong hand and then your your net worth is gonna
continue to go up and you're gonna hold that Bitcoin you're gonna get those free
crypt of dividends and you're gonna turn them in the Bitcoin and you can have
more and more and more Bitcoin and you're gonna be proud of it baby
and I'm proud of it I'm proud then I got a lot of Bitcoin baby I'm proud of it
you should be too alright this is where the big boys play baby if you don't like
it go play in the Fiat world where you're gonna get bailed out by Hillary
Clinton now Franken and who knows what other social justice warrior is gonna
try to take my money - ain't no I do have to pay taxes so yeah you're gonna

that world get into the grid cryptocurrency Bitcoin world baby where
you don't have to depend on anyone but yourself
freedom it's freedom all right what do we have here so yeah Peter Schiff is
active again he's he's not too happy about this pump I haven't watched it but
it says CNBC becomes crypto news Bitcoin that's the title of it okay the great
Hugo Nunez says he said this in my I think he said this
is the chat or III review the chat afterwards found that like button if
you're in the chat right now you're enjoying this video
Hugo Nunez said at some point BTC money going its own way I'd like
that money going its own weight because there's the MiG towel movement which is

anyway so yeah this emo thing is out still um emo by it's a fork of Assyria
me the guy keeps telling me about it maybe I'll have some more information
it's aetherium modified it's a fork that's coming out on the 15th of
December hey you know who knows what's gonna be you hold the theorem I don't
hold that much etherion but hey if I can get some free for cos a crypto dividend
from it that's that's great the classic is still alive the Bitcoin classic which
was a fork of a big hash is still out there it's still being mined I linked as
some stuff below so today's super super Bitcoin was fourth off of Bitcoin so
that crypt of dividend is apparently alive put pressure on your exchanges to
sell it on your trays or to lit it it's over in China over in Asia
I'll keep it you know don't don't give up your private key to try to figure out
what that's all about be careful be careful wait until you a
trust a third party is dealing with it but apparently a fourth there are some
big names in Asia that are behind in a very wealthy guys behind it so we'll see
what happens the cash plus which is a fork of Bitcoin um they have a tweet a
crypt of dividend for Co that hasn't happened yet we are rolling out the
development we will launch test net on December the 20th all right that they
said they were supposed to launch that actually on the fifth but at least
they're they're updating their Twitter that's something to pay attention to
that's not supposed to be alive to talk February 1st anyway I wanted to give you
an update Simon Dickson is gonna be on the show on
Friday on this week in Bitcoin that is going to be at 7 p.M.
Um he says he's got a link and I link to it below the bf token is coming out oh
yes bank to the Future his company is having
a token pre register your interest in the PF token we built the largest
community of high net worth investors investing online in FinTech Bitcoin and
blockchain as we get ready to launch our secondary market in 2018 bank to the
future is pleased to launch ok I just read the whole thing for sign is a
friend he's a friend the show will definitely talk about that because I'm
sure people are like dude Simon Dickson is launching a token now Vinnie link
hands I mean Dixit everybody everybody I. Mean dude everyone's gonna do something
different I'm all about the Bitcoin no baby but let's see what Simon's doing
you can check out that link below here's a question that I got this person is a
doctor this is a female doctor sent me this hello how does an average investor
buy Bitcoin I'm not a miner and would have no idea how to do that is mining
necessary now there's nothing wrong with that question I share that
because this is the newbie mentality they have no idea they've heard about
mining and they're like is that how you get Bitcoin they don't know it's as
simple as just going to coin base using my affiliate link below I'm getting a
$10 discount when you or $10 free when you use my affiliate link below but it
is pretty easy to buy Bitcoin in the United States you just go to coin base
but people don't get that I mean that's how many new people are in this all
right here's something Adam saved my life
someone was saying in chat yesterday and this is from Eddie Clark I was in debt I
went all-in on Bitcoin and $1,000 in April he said he took out a loan listen
to Adam every day and today I sold some 10% of my big coin to become debt-free
okay I'm glad that watching my show was good for you you don't really want to
get into debt but I'm glad you're debt-free
now Shane the great Shane he has a steam it post that I linked to below about
stefan molyneux being a million I used to check stefan molyneux who is always
accepts donations through cryptocurrencies who always to check how
much she had like how much his cryptocurrency stash was worth
well now it's worth millions of dollars millions of dollars how much does he say
over I mean it's like over five million but anyways Shane Shane did he do a
steam it post about that so that's nice also this guy be near an Indian guy from
who's using steam it I link to this below also he gives an update in big on
Bitcoin things are getting very Orwellian over here this is in India the
government is making it mandatory to link the National IDs with anything
related to money now for even making cab rides with ride providers like uber we
have to link it with our national ID if we pay using the uber money app also the
Senate here is meeting next month wherein there is a very good chance that
they will pass a bill which will legalize bank balance now I mentioned
this before by the way so they I mean this is a serious thing this dude is
talking about that will be big for Bitcoin if they start doing balance if
in India anyway as for Bitcoin the mainstream has just started following it
recently and they are very negative about it
India having a very high number of IT.

Employees they are many people who know
about this but mostly people are just speculating not many see the big picture
as for the gains from Kryptos there is an undercurrent developing wherein it
won't be surprising if people are charged a much higher tax rate on their
crypto gains alg india india seems like they are about to slap down their people
in terms of finances again I would advise people in India get out of that
rupee if you can get it into Bitcoin just hold it in Bitcoin don't convert it
back into the rupee so they don't tax you do your local bitcoins if you can do
not I mean I it's unfortunate that everything's being connected to your
national ID my god that is Orwellian come on India you have over a billion
people over there don't be or Willie Orwellian you're just gonna scare the 20
percenters out of your country the smart people are going and the smart people do
leave there all right so the show has come to an end in terms
of cryptocurrency town that like button I want to talk about some health things
real quick I've been eatin some organic eggs lately
now our organic eggs really better than regular eggs who knows probably the
grass fed the birds that are raised in a happier environment are gonna produce
healthier eggs let's just leave it at that but when organic is a whole nother
level so I bring this up is because eggs are great but people fear eggs because
they think they're gonna get a high cholesterol do do not fear fat don't
fear natural fats will fear man-made that's the fear bats that are from some
of those uh some some of those oils are complete nonsense that they are really
bet canola oil these man-made oils these highly altered oils fear those fats
don't mess with those type sunflower oils all
even though it sounds health he says it's not good there's oils the only good
oils are olive oil and coconut oil the other all the others are terrible it's
probably another good one I'm leaving out but but anyway with the eggs eat all
the eggs you want cholesterol makes your brain work properly statins which lower
the cholesterol unnaturally they hurt your brain and that's that's there's a
reason for that your brain needs cholesterol so all these people are
obsessed with their cholesterol numbers you got a brick if you're eating healthy
if you're not eating unnatural if you're not eating processed foods if you have a
high cholesterol it trust me it's fine you can get it looked into more do not
get put onto statins don't don't do not try statins you want to eat your eggs
it's great for you eat your healthy meats you eat as much fat as you want to
that comes from nature eat like a caveman there's nothing wrong with it
people nothing wrong with it do not get obsessed with those
cholesterol numbers please if you're eating healthy if you're thin if you're
working out you got nothing to worry about with the cholesterol number these
we're gonna learn one day that these cholesterol numbers mean nothing
probably but again you do you you don't want to take some statin because the
doctor says oh you've got a 201 cholesterol now it's time take a statin
you're gonna be brain dead soon you're gonna get regretted i'm adam meister the

aberdeen times - Reasons why Litecoin is a good speculation. Segwit is key

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

Hello everyone this is Adam Meister the BitcoinMeister the disrupt Meister welcome to today in bitcoin and litecoin today is january thirtieth 2017 special thanks to the person who sent me some Bitcoin that was very nice of you i will be available to chat with all of you after this video is done i'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about tomorrow at two p.M. Eastern time i'm scheduled to have a huge guest on the show keep your fingers crossed tuning around two p.M. Tomorrow huge guest if all goes well keep your fingers cross so this video reasons why litecoin is a good speculation segregated witness is key segue so I was uh I was going to rain until ah the litecoin said with update site which i will link to below which i've linked to in mirrors other videos of mine was updated because Pete they can start a signaling approval right now and the site is just not not working right and so I decided okay let's let's just get this out the way let's talk about this now and as I mentioned in a previous video which i will link to and of course i will link to that segment progress site to hopefully they they show the progress of what time you guys check it and everything but in previous leaders of mine about litecoin I said to hold litecoin and now i'm basically expanding upon that giving some more detail and making it official that this is a speculation this is this is different this time I usually I don't usually go into depth like this about all coins so like calling it for those of you don't know it's just a copy of Bitcoin and that sounds really boring I. In today's Alcorn world where all kinds do all sorts of crazy things and but it is really not that simple litecoin isn't trying to overtake Bitcoin and it's perfectly happy being the silver bitcoins gold and that's what it's always been known as that's been his gimmick but if it can prove it get it ment segregated witness for Bitcoin can it is going to prove that it is a proactive test net for Bitcoin and what I mean by that is that it will have implemented a cool new feature of Bitcoin before Bitcoin can and hopefully it will establish itself to it will continue to do that and that will give it some long-term value actually but this is not about super long term right now with like this is about which about to happen here in the next few weeks and months possibly and it's gonna be like a video I made about mineiro a few months ago many of you remember seven arrows a good speculation it can double triple quadruple value at any any moment and I.

Again I don't make calls like that very often but the time has come here and again a speculation to me and I know people have different definitions of speculations but in terms of cryptocurrency it'sit's some thing that you first of all you don't you have enough money to blow it all like if you're gonna buy like point i'm not saying to do that but you you're willing to lose it all but at the same time there's a good chance there is a chance a legitimate chance based on real factors which I will discuss that the price of litecoin could double at any moment or any possibly tripling also i'm not going to say for Drupal or anything like that anytime soon so like one reason i'm behind this possible quick rise that's based upon segregated witness again this is all based upon people learning about segregated witness and how litecoin can implement segment for Bitcoin but like going really does have a presence in China you've all heard the rumors before i will link to the charts means the major exchanges there they sell bitcoin and litecoin and that's it that's it the people there and pose how many people there are doing cryptocurrency in China that's up for debate but what they know is Bitcoin and light coin so once they hear about this it's gonna be on their radar they only had to choose from and I know some of you can see whether these other exchanges in China to have x y&z gee it's look at the numbers and that i will i will link to hear the litecoin markets numbers and you will see that it is likely is it is the number to crypto currency in China period end of story so that's huge and it right now one shot me if you know some of its mind in china just like kind of bitcoin is but it wouldn't shock me that right now so these minor guys who you there to make the choice to adopt or not it did some people out there knows sure thing and already telling people already telling speculation is already went up to four dollars today which is odd before before the update site was lie on and get if your mother's China centric point people then you have to believe this is a positive thing for life was like when is very much is skewed toward a China more so than other all coins at least so if you want those people to think China is important well you probably should look into this with situations going on with litecoin so with with recent speculations at recent pumps whatever you want to call it with your top tier all coins like dash like etherium like mineiro it seems like the speculators out there push it to double-digits show again I'm saying I. Would not be shocked this thing could double to you know eight dollars at shoot and I mean and again we'll get into that a little bit more but ten dollars is also possibly in my just round up to like these like these other ones have got just get to that double-digit and then it sticks there for a while I there's nothing scientific what I just said by that anyway not I. Not everyone is a segment for Bitcoin fan ok we know that um but there are lots and lots of people out there that are dead are segregated witness for big point and are going to take interest in this story and it will make cryptocurrency enews if they see if they are getting closer to successfully implementing segregated witness on litecoin in fact I. Want to be shocked if they start to stories tomorrow because now that the process has begun to the approval process of the signaling process whatever you want to call i'm not a technical log I hear of litecoin head has started so they're going to write stories about people going to talk about it who knows maybe make the mainstream media these are things that get people excited just because this is my third video about litecoin and segregated witness or I don't maybe it's my fourth who knows it doesn't mean other people know about segregated witness yet in the cryptocurrency community in the Bitcoin community it doesn't meet there's a lot of people that don't know a thing about that what's about to happen that it litecoin might implement segregated witness so take that into my that I mean I'm explain my logic why I'm making a video saying that he could double in value should very soon I'm i mean again just because we hear on this channel maybe a couple other channels are talking about it and I.

Don't even know they're talking about in other kind of every don't get much time to watch the other channels anymore actually anyway another reason litecoin is it implements segregated witness because an insurance policy for bitcoin bitcoin if you're involved in Bitcoin endeavors where hey fees if the fees increase on Bitcoin because they never once said what separated witness you're in trouble well then you're going to think you're gonna start learning about this light point situation and if they've implemented segregated witness in court close to doing it you're gonna be like well maybe I I gotta get some of this just so just in case I'm not able to cheat transactions on big point anymore and there are many their companies out there that perhaps are going to have to start to use this logic and say always say what it what happens if if it doesn't happen desegregated witness does not have a repeat coin on I'm gonna have to look into this like pointing and I. Get it more people buy it it pumps up the price i mean there I'm trying to give you reasons why demand is going to increase here another thing Ponzi schemes whether you like them or not they need a small transaction fees and the ripping off people no one's going to participate in your ponzi scheme if you have high transaction fees so Bitcoin might stop being you know what they use with the MM. Kanji scheme or any of the Ponzi schemes that are out there and some of you may remember back in july of 2015 the price of Life Points spite i forgot what is spike too I'm but it was the rumor was because if there was a Chinese our party scheme using it for some reason they pick litecoin instead of Bitcoin well now they're gonna have a good reason I'm if bitcoin doesn't get its act together in the the fees get very high and the fees the the transaction fees will likely remain very low and stay low and they are quick and things are flowing like on in and it you know party dudes want it to be cheap and quick so you can get cake and review all so like when will have an advantage over bitcoin the longer Bitcoin does not implement separate witness and if litecoin has segregated business so i expect the price I'm to hit high during the hype of segregated witness now once it's implemented and this is a toner-based thing I learned from Bay City pointed out on you know if you remember when bitcoin the having was coming it was before the happy when he hits high by time we got to having it had already gone down a bit so on but again once the hopefully the segment is implemented on litecoin um the longer Bitcoin does not implement segregated witness the more likely the price will eclipse its high running up to the run going during the run litecoin so again a bit longer before you can get its act together once segment is in place the better for like point so you gotta pay attention once that happens if you were a holder of light point like i am and i am saying and I said this a previous video if you have litecoin you don't want to sell today definitely got it analyzes things take in everything I I'm telling you right now all these factors um but again and this is so important you risked it all fall apart with segment sales or if the implements if it doesn't get implemented or if they implemented it is totally broken in something goes horribly wrong and if that happens it'll crash below what it is right now I mean it will be Panik then we'll be adding so I mean there is no there is no short thing here these are things that take into account you gotta you gotta look at these things as a day-to-day thing and again I some of these reasons i have mentioned here i'm good how long will the elevated like point price last I'm it and again if bitcoin implement segregated witness so let's say like going has its perks up to ten dollars eight dollars whatever you want to say twelve dollars and then because it does get its act together to get inspired everyone like this is great it's working with litecoin so how long with Life Points price stay hi woody return back to hear the four dollars three dollar range again if bitcoin does do it in you know has low transaction fees and fast and everything well what you have to analyze at that point is is like we're still being proactive or the about to implement another awesome feature of Bitcoin before Bitcoin can if it keeps on beating big point to the punch because all it is all my corneas is Bitcoin basically if it keeps speeding Bitcoin to the punch then its price should bring me it has true value it has two guys it is a proactive test net people going to learn from it there's no always be a little you know someone that wants it before it gets on Bitcoin so again if it stops being proactive test net if it doesn't you know after a segment if they don't start doing like anonymous things that bitcoin is thinking about doing before before actually doesn't know well then I I then you shouldn't I don't know what its point will be I'm you can say well it's a silver to gold because what does that really mean what does that really mean it to me it means they're doing things that Bitcoin should be doing before it going should do before Bitcoin actually does it and it people from like like foundation there watching this I think that's something to keep in mind with your marketing and please come on the show everything we've been kind of in touch guys leaving you guys should be marking the heck out of what is about to happen with segregated witness talking to everyone about that because it's going to get interesting your coin and i'm not saying you should be helping the price you're calling for bad reasons people should know about this because a desegregated witness issue is a huge issue in bitcoin is just a huge issue and i strongly believe that Bitcoin has to adopt segregated witness and I think this is the spark and buy it again if it is the spark and bitcoin does implement segregated with this everything that i said about like going to build up to the promise the hype and all that that's gonna happen with Bitcoin to so a lot of other people are gonna be happy out there so i hope you enjoyed this video i'm gonna put new video here every single day for the people not familiar with his channel i posted to today I'm i'm adam meister the bitcoinmeister the disrupt

aberdeen times - Price Predictions Litecoin ($LTC), Cardano ($ADA), and IOTA ($IOT)!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

What's going on snipers named Ella baby here, hope all of you guys are having a wonderful day today Let's go ahead and dive right into our daily cryptocurrency analytics for today. We're here to be talking about litecoin cardinal and iota I'm gonna talk a little bit about their price movements over the next couple of weeks. Why I think it's correlating towards bitcoins recent price correction of over 30% as you guys can see we lost a ton of Market cap here over a hundred and fifty billion dollars in market capital was actually released in less than 24 hours And that is a huge huge feat for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general because we've never seen that dramatic market cap decrease before or just Volatility in general has been insane obviously. We've seen a lot of Corrections over the past in terms of percentages But in market capital 150 billion dollars just coming out of your pocket like that that is Insane for crypto currency market guys I do want to talk about litecoin iota an ata of course But I think it's correlating a lot to bitcoins price movement right now And I think a lot of people are scared that bitcoin is gonna be heading towards a bull market I want to show you guys something on our Discord and for those of you that don't know about discord by the way This is a free resource open for each and every one of you guys on a mobile platform desktop version or mobile web Version so you guys can actually click the link in the description below And it's a free resource open to all of you guys we have this huge chat room this huge community here for you guys to interact and engage in by the way you guys have been doing an awesome job with that so a Bull market versus a bear market I think a lot of people are scared that a bear market is about to occur and I just want to tell you guys in my opinion We're not ready for a bear market at least at this point in time If you guys don't know a bear market is a condition in which prices fall and widespread pessimism causes the markets downward spiral to be self-sustaining pessimism basically means negative opinions negative influence investors anticipate losses as pessimism and selling increases so it's pretty much a Long dated period of time it typically lasts between you know a couple months sometimes a couple years and a bear market it's never really a good thing if you are you know a day trader or somebody that wants to really just make money off of the volatility and Even if you are an investor in general bear market is typically not a good thing So I don't think we're going to that point I think all we saw was a correction so if you read the definition of a correction I'm not gonna read that as well, but we've pretty much seen this correction occur about 30 percent healthy in my opinion I think it's really influenced the price of light coin iota and a da And I picked these three coins very specifically because light coin Cardno and iota are pretty much the three coins I think a lot of people are asking me about in terms of they either have a position already made it What trying to find out whether they want to hold it sell it buy it? And I definitely want to address price movement we can never determine price magnitude or even price point But we can determine price movements based on patterns and indicators, so always remember that guys once again this isn't trading advice I implore each and every one of you guys to construct your own Value system when you're trading and have your own principle So you can actually? Have some sort of confidence when making your trades based on a certain strategy you like and all I'm doing in my part is giving you guys my perspective of things showing you guys what I like to use the strategies and indicators that I like to use and I hope that just Empowers you guys not necessarily helps you guys make you know any sort of concrete decisions But definitely empower you guys to just sustain yourselves and understand the market in a different perspective So let's look at light coin here you guys um once again If you guys know somebody that can predict price swings and the magnitude of them tell them to give me a call I'd love to talk to that type of person that could definitely make me a lot of money and make you a lot of money Too, but I don't think there's somebody out there like that It's impossible to determine that because if spline demand, but you can always look at patterns right so obviously with this We are seeing light coins price in terms of us devaluation to start to slip it looks like we hit high sell volume here Right at this bottom where we actually hit bottom three times under our SI 30 that typically indicates It's called the triple bottom is what it is And and that's pretty good in terms of knowing when this is gonna stop And now it looks like we're forming a bit of an ascending triangle if you guys don't know what that is it's on our discord I'll show you guys exactly how that looks, but the ascending triangle is definitely forming here Which does indicate a price movement upwards, and if you go to an ascending triangle here? You can see exactly what that is on our discord to self teach and help yourselves Understand these charts and these patterns so you guys can be successful traders So as you guys can see this is obviously a clear pattern am I gonna purchase like on it I going to get into this because it's forming an ascending triangle patterns can be obsolete patterns can be Distortion it could still negative price movement a negative trend, but at the end of the day I I just have a feeling that a lot of all coins especially Coins that have recently just went up in value are pretty overvalued I feel like a lot of the undervalued coins became overvalued I feel like the coins that were already over value became even more overvalued And I think some coins were undervalued and have now had their true values shown So I think this past couple of weeks in the market have Really exposed a lot of things and I really think it's a fun time in the industry guys and cryptocurrency in general I've been having a blast myself, so That's with light coin.

That's pretty much what I'm seeing so far an ascending triangle with possible price movement moving upwards with iota It's a little bit different. You can see that Yeah, it's almost looking like an ascending triangle, but it has it past this price point here I do want to see it past three dollars and 84 cents before making that call so at this point I think this is still maturing in terms of forming a pattern And once again, I Otis on a huge price increase So you know the the volume here the by volume was extremely high right after this huge sell-off So I'm really interested to see how this chart matures over the next couple of days But in my opinion If it continues to stay under this price point it could be forming a descending triangle and continuing this negative trend that really started Right up here And then you can see that you can connect this right over there and see how that right there forms that descending triangle coming downwards Unless this can continue to go up and break past this triangle. You know remove this Obsolete trendline so if this can break past this triangle I think we can definitely see this for me another ascending triangle very similar to litecoin However this continues to go down It could be going down into Some all-time lows at least in the last couple of weeks cuz we haven't seen it that low in a long time And then 480 abt see what I want to talk about with cardano's is a little bit different because with cardona We're looking at the Satoshi chart. You can't look at USD valuations on trading view with card on Oh, but I actually like looking at this Satoshi chart here, so what's interesting is you have these clear support levels being formed here on 2607 Satoshi's as well as some clear resistance levels right around 3063 Satoshi's and what's really cool about this.

It's very simple. We can just draw a very simple channel I do see some patterns forming here I'm not going to name it completely, but I do see some inverse head and shoulders I do see some other patterns for me around this left-hand side as you can see we did hit bottom one time so there wasn't a triple bottom like we saw with litecoin and Iota, but we are seeing this form a channel So I'm interested to see how it's gonna follow this channel if it does break out positive That could definitely indicate a positive price movement going upwards But it's something we definitely want to watch right now in terms of the av-8b TC valuation looking at the satoshi value not necessarily the USD valuation so that's pretty much what my Predictions are in terms of price movement for these three coins my personal Portfolio right now. I'm primarily I kind of go through these seasons So I either have a lot of alt coins Or I have a lot of Bitcoin depending on what season were in and at this time. I'm really looking at Bitcoin I'm really looking at where can I get a really strong position in Bitcoin? Just to ensure that I am going to get a good position, and it doesn't continue to slide I have made a couple small purchases I'm just here and there, but I haven't really made my big position taking my profits from when I sold at 18 to 50 I'm putting them all into this area.

I'm really looking forward to doing that soon. I'm just really watching this carefully It's a very risky market as you can see we're seeing an enormous volume right now, and and not only by volume But we're seeing cell volume go down So I'm gonna be interested to just continue watching this Charmy we hit bottom under 30 RS. I almost four times which is unheard of that could definitely determine it There is a bottom but the end of the day the amount of volatility that we see with Bitcoin that could very much just be a Delusion, so I'm really interested to watch this this is where I want to put most of my you know my positions in right now I'm not really looking towards all coins because I feel like they're so overvalued, but of course a lot of them You know over time will increase in value as the market gets bigger, so? There's a lot to be said here And I'm really excited to do tonight's livestream because I think we're gonna talk a lot about these These new price movements that we're seeing form all throughout the board I mean every coin right now is almost over 10% in terms of volatility You know in terms of its change over the 24 hours So really exciting market guys really exciting time in cryptocurrency once again If you guys aren't on our discord is the free resource the link is in the description below Oh, I did. Talk a little about this in the beginning the video, but I add some new resources here guys I'm gonna continue to add upon this over the next couple of weeks These are all my favorite resources that I use and then I added my favorite books here This is really something that came from my heart These are books that really meant a lot to me really growing up in the cryptocurrency industry Just understanding it a little bit more now.

This is a very basic version. I really like mastering Bitcoin This is one of my favorites It's a lot more of a technical book But it really Enlightens you on the power of blockchain Technology and open Ledger's and what it really can create over the next couple of years And then how money got free is just an awesome book to read it really takes you on this journey It's like a thriller So I really like how many reads how money got free? And so forth so I definitely wanna continue updating this guy's I hope you guys are enjoying the discord. I'm just out Outraged with support and I want to just express my gratitude towards you guys because I know you guys always say, thank you But I want to say thank you for being a part of this community Thank you guys for actually engaging in this community making it such a great place for people to learn about cryptocurrency and to create Memories and friends you know I've heard so many awesome stories just from being on the discord I think we hit over 3,000 members now, so Awesome guys that is just you know almost like a dream come true And I'm just really excited to see where we're gonna grow over the next couple of months And if not years for sure so thank you so much guys for watching this video once again That's it for today. You guys will see me tonight on the live stream and with that being said guys as always snipers out.

aberdeen times - How To Safely Upgrade A Wallet (LitecoinBitcoin)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 15:54:00 -0800

Upgrading the core wallet software any
crypto currency is easy. And comes with many benefits such as improved security, speed and overall performance. As well as
sometimes including new features. However -- An important note before we start: Never download a wallet from anywhere That isn't an official trusted site, as it may contain walware or nasty junk that could potentially steal your coins.
You have been warned! With that said, let's hop to one of our
official sites: litecoin.Org.

The wallets often
come in one of two versions a 32-bit and a 64-bit. If you don't know
which one you need you can do a simple search for Control
Panel system and security then system. Here, you'll be able to see your system
type. Litecoin.Com is also an official
site run by us where we can download the update.

It's just exact same process:
select the version we want and download it. Bitcoin users, similarly, can head over to bitcoin.Org --- introduction --- getting started and choose a wallet. There is one last thing we need to do
before we begin... That is to back up the wallet just
in case anything were to go wrong.

Yes, as unlikely as that is to
happen, it is better to be safe than sorry. Now that that is done, we can close the
wallet and open the new downloaded file. From here just click 'Next'... 'Next' again, and let it do
its thing.

And just like that, it's done! Click
'Finish.' And we can see if we have
successfully upgraded our core wallet. Just allow it access to private networks
and... There we are. If anything did go wrong during this
process you can restore the wallet using the backup.

Just do a search for: %appdata% and open the Litecoin--or which ever
coin name folder you're using--- and drag the backup over. When prompted to replace, just say 'yes'..

aberdeen times - How to Mine Litecoins - Beginner's Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

Hey, guys, I'm Lusin, and in this video, I'm gonna be teaching you the quickest, easiest way to mine Litecoins. I'll have a link for you to download it in the description. Wait for it to load, it always loads very fast. And afterwards you will arrive on the main page of the Litecoin Grinder.

It's a very small app, around 23MB, so it won't strain your internet bandwidth. What you have to do now is step 2, which is putting your Litecoin wallet address into the slot right here that is labeled "Litecoin Address." Your wallet is where you collect the litecoins that you mine; so open up your wallet. I'm using the portable version of Electrum. I prefer the portable version of Electrum because it's around the same file size as the Litecoin Grinder.

You may use something else, but I use Electrum. I'll have a link to a list of Litecoin wallets you can choose from in the description. So as you can see, at the time of filming this video, I have 666.42 Litecoins. Mwahahaha, that it right! Admire my wealth! Alright, all joking aside, to find your address in Electrum, click the Recieve tab and it will be in the Receiving Address tab.

Copy and paste it in the Litecoin Grinder. Never mind the Request Expires, that doesn't do anything. All of my hardware is connected and listed in the Devices tab, I have my AMD 5970 graphics card which is listed as Cypress and my USB ASIC miners so I'm good. And that's all there is to it guys.

Really easy, right? I'm mining litecoins at... ...It's still going up. Alright, it seems to have stopped here. I'm mining litecoins at 6660 kilahashes per second and collecting all of that sweet Litecoin profit, and you now know how to do it too! You can thank me by subscribing to Lusin and liking the video, and please share it around to help other people mine Litecoins as well.

If you like the Litecoin wallpaper used in this video, there will be a link to download it in the description, I modelled and rendered it myself. I'll catch you guys in the next video, bye bye..

aberdeen times - $3900 Bitcoin! Epic Charlie Lee Litecoin truth bomb! Bcash thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 00:37:00 -0800

Hello everyone this is Adam Meister the
bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister welcome to today in bitcoin today is
August the 12th 2017 buy and hold resist that temptation to sell at these high
prices people this is when you really have to have a strong hand get rich by
desiring little pure commitment to Bitcoin alright
crypto HW wallet comm check them out get your trace or a ledger nano all that
good stuff and the awesome leather cases for your storage devices I'm holding one
here now in Dublin Ireland and you are going to see me right now with it in my
hand a leather case for a storage device yes it's dark if they say crypto Hwy
light on them they're really cool and they are available at crypto hw-- wallet
calm we have a lot to discuss on today's show so let me close that window real
quick and let's get this party started as they used to say in some other decade
alright so thanks for the person who sent me - a few days ago and I want to
say today I was at a financial event in Dublin Ireland there were people there
who knew me from and we taught there was a cryptocurrency segment also to it and
it was pretty interesting it seemed like most of the people who were at the
financial event Wanted were just interested in crypto currency at least a
lot of them which was really positive and there were some people who knew me
from the channel hello guys maybe you're watching it was really great to meet you
some a longtime viewer especially it was really an honor to meet you and thank
you for the compliments and being a buy-and-hold guy and he's a big towel he
actually knows a bench and big towels so eventually I'll probably talk to that
guy soon what do we have here oh I will be in Quebec City so I'm obviously in
Dublin Ireland right now being in Quebec City starting all you
the 17th you know if you want to hang out email me at Adam at traceur help.Com
and we can set something up it's gonna be a file be there a month so hey it's
gonna be cool hey the strong hand is really paying off
lately isn't it everyone I mean Bitcoin almost got up to four
thousand dollars today and that's pretty exciting and and if you're happy is
probably because you held on to your Bitcoin you never panicked you had a
strong hand by the way we had great this week in Bitcoin yesterday we Frances was
on timing picks in new guests from uh South Africa Who am I forgetting
oh yeah Benny but BTC Benny was off it was just great I it's linked to below
please watch it it was one of the best shows we've done and a lot of insight on
what's going on with the be cash iteration and if you're scared about
segue to X you probably won't be very scared after you watch this the guys did
a good job explaining why this thing is neutered and be cash helped neuter the
possible 2x hard fork and it's a 2x hard fork happens then yeah whatever it's
it's just another off coin just another altcoin I keep on saying out key words I
forgot to put in my description off coin and trades or must be added or I found
that like button if you like Adam stating what's in his head when he's
just randomly thinking about what he needs to be in his notes alright so I
linked to a Dan dark pill tweet according to a via BTC CEO segue to X is
not going to happen all right that is a rumor I cannot translate
Mandarin Chinese it was translated from Mandarin Chinese
obviously they it the likelihood of it the actual heart fork happening has gone
down with this be cash thing sticking around maybe they're all gonna jump on
be cash and that is how they'll cause they're FUD so and that will help the
price of B cash if you're wondering but they who knows if you care about that
remit and hey by the way remember earlier this just a few
weeks ago months ago I was talking about how August there was going to be a
Bitcoin hoarding and so now people are starting to ask is there or not
Bitcoin out there now is that why the price is going up so much because all of
a sudden there are a lot of people who want it and they're willing to pay and
people aren't willing to sell it for whatever reason they're not willing to
stop because they haven't split there be cash off yet because it's going up in
price because they just don't they listen to me and our golden holders or
buy and holders or just like just you know hoard their Bitcoin who knows but
there there might be some real hardcore Bitcoin hoarding going on right now and
that's only gonna boost up this price or we're gonna hit the mythical four
thousand I think we in some places might actually hit it today but that doesn't
mean we've got to be there for a little while to really hit it and we got up to
thirty nine hundred real solid today from what I saw so since it hit four
thousand so fast it makes you feel good it makes you feel real good alright
someone just sent five dollars over there in the cat I got to recognize them
angry artichokes wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having
few wants Wow wise words right there people possessions they don't mean a
thing but if you're satisfied if you don't want things if you if you're
disciplined and you don't desire what another man has if you don't give into
society to the hype of consumerism and what I buy every single thing you have
you have true wealth and you have you know self control I want to say when I
arrived at the airport the other when I. Arrived at the airport they had this
banner for me here it says welcome bitcoinmeister and it's got like a pound
that like button thing there you see there's the there's a thumbs up it's
hard to see but it was really nice I. Mean that's really nice to have a
welcome back you know when you get off the plane and trust me it's a play there
was a lot of playing drama thanks to wow Airlines cancelling my flight and making
me a day late late but to get here in Dublin and lovely Dublin Ireland where
people are very nice and see that sign when I got the plane I
want to show it I didn't obviously this weekend Bitcoin didn't have time to show
it but the people who did that were very or very very nice people or fans of the
show obviously very generous people and they worked they were if you were at the
event today you met them just good people here in Dublin and again the
person who you know allowed me to go to this event today is an awesome dude he
actually gave you a silver dollar present I have it right here
so now look guys I have a silver point for all these people who who wanted you
know ask do you precious metals well yeah there's a it's a silver point
apparently so that's that's really cool all right so back back to this back to
the show all right toward Meester has a tweet out there coin what they saw a 10x
year-over-year volume increase he heard similar rumors for several Western
exchanges Japan South Korea and even higher multiples okay and and this was
actually in response to another tweet that says exchanged coinbase exchanged
five times more digital currency in the first half of 2017 that it did in all of
2016 okay so there's there's a lot of Bitcoin action going on there's a lot of
crypto currency action going on I mean today you could feel the interest there
were a lot of newbies around there and just people want to get into this thing
they've heard about it CNBC is saying elastic good things about it we'll get
into later the show who else is talking about some funny funny dudes out there
panned out like button people thank thank you very much for watching I guess
this is a good this is a good time where a lot of people watches eight o'clock
out on the East Coast here in Dublin it is 1:00 in the morning great all the
time alright here is but everyone knows this already but I wanted to comment on
it tweet that says bitch Phoenix is suspending trading of ICO tokens
generally in response to the sec for US. Customers all right I mean this was
bound to happen I just wanted to say they the United States is looking into
regulating icos or whatever and so other so these exchanges that deal with
icos don't want to deal with the United States citizens anymore because they
don't want to get in trouble with our government this is just something to
consider when you hear someone say well they've got the US government will get
involved so there's be prepared and some people all know why would the US
government try to regulate this is in a different country well they they have
their ways now I'm not saying get paranoid about the US government like
shutting that bitcoins they can't do that but um they you scare financial
institutions financial institutions that are trying to stay like a hundred
percent legitimate they don't mess with the US government so I was thinking
about the other day litecoin and it's unfunny I don't I'm not an i co fan I
don't think I think people should learn from losing money they shouldn't be
forced by their governments not to do something they should lose their lesson
by losing money and then they should not be bailed out by our government or by
you know maybe we can ask a friend for some money but I'm not here to bail them
out i I'm you know if you refuse to listen and learn the lesson the hard way
the government shouldn't be making stuff like that virtually illegal or thinking
about it anyway is litecoin and be cash how do they relate to each other I mean
I I noticed at one time when one why not one went down logically that should
happen because they're vying to be the backup
of Bitcoin which one is gonna be the backup of Bitcoin I mean litecoin
obviously is that one but you've got be cash trying to use that name so but be
cash isn't trying to paint itself as the silver either so those two coins
shouldn't be going up at the same time in a sense they really are very similar
to Bitcoin and do you know have right now they're faster or something like
that so anyway I mentioned only this weekend so keep an eye that one go
if they start to not follow each other in price but again we don't have a
logical market now I mean people are buying these things for illogical
reasons especially be cash Oh God who would buy that like I will get to
that in a second all right so Frances pulo of Montreal who was on the show
yesterday he again he's got to be congratulated he and his buddies in
Canada are now again promoting something they thought of a long time ago did that
what defines what an altcoin is and what the real big point is so they're just
drawing a line in the sand that this is Bitcoin this is not Bitcoin you can fork
off and you can do your own all coin and on the show yesterday we were just
talking about I mean how it's good that be cash is just chugging along right
there but it's everyone knows it's not Bitcoin it's just setting this precedent
where if the two ex guys dare do a hard fork it's just gonna be an all coin
there is it's not contentious it's not no one has a claim to Bitcoin but the
real Bitcoin now and it's for various reasons it's because people who know
what they're talking about are gonna call Bitcoin Bitcoin but also the people
who have no idea what the heck is going on I'm just gonna call Bitcoin Bitcoin
also they see something called Bitcoin atom they're gonna what the heck is that
or I'm a little confused but I already have this Bitcoin from coinbase so it's
we've lived through this we experimented with this and it is a unique way to
distribute your altcoin you can't deny that and the more the mayor get if I
discuss this back in March when I came up with a friendly fork concept that you
know they should just there should be coins that if they think they can
compete with Bitcoin then fork off a Bitcoin and do your best but you're
gonna be an altcoin anyway but you're gonna get yourself distributed in a
pretty cool way for free you're gonna end up with exchanges cooperate you're
gonna end up as a point given given the people as an air-dropped to everyone who
owns Bitcoin and that's uh that's pretty cool and thus if you're being given away
for free why would you buy it newbee why would you buy it
anyway and I don't care if it goes up in I got you care if it goes up I praise
because I still haven't split mine yet so whatever that would be nice
but if it doesn't go up it price whatever I'm just paranoid about
splitting my Bitcoin and on this trip I.

Do not have my Bitcoin with me actually
so all right I watched the Bitcoin group from Friday on world crypto Network and
one cool thing they were talking about The Linde effect in Bolivia effect is a
concept that the future life expects expectancy of some non perishable thing
like a technology or an idea is proportional to their current age so
that every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life
expectancy so they were talking about Bitcoin saying you know Bitcoin has
survived this long it's gonna survive a lot longer because everyone keeps
thinking is going to die and the longer you survive the longer you survive
despite the odds the longer you're going to last is what they're saying and this
in this lyndie effect and I actually see that with be cash I mean a lot of people
were seeing seeing be cash instead of you know drop the five including myself
out I thought we've dropped to five dollars and at least in 72 hours after
it was created and it didn't and we if you if you're a be cash hater or
whatever and I mean obviously the people behind it we're didn't do it in a
friendly way but it's here and it appears it's here to stay because it
keeps on lasting like the Energizer Bunny it keeps on going and it's
sticking around point oh eight or 0.1 Or 0.09 BTC whatever the heck it is it's so
I thought the lumen the effect for that actually BTC catchy the exchange that
disappeared they got shut down that base I don't know what happened when other
rumors that it's coming back and that they're gonna issue tokens from this
well one we already know don't store your never store your coins on an
exchange okay lesson if the government shut this down and they're gonna operate
it again and they're the ones we want to operate this now play with BTC dodgy it
could be just a way for them to because people the
the rumor is the reason the btc-e got shut down was because of money
laundering and this might just be a way to figure out well who were the real
customers that were laundering money just so whatever government shut this
down and get a list of names so I would be careful you know if you lost like
three litecoin or you know $100 worth of something I don't think it's worth your
while if they open btc-e again to like give
any of your personal information you probably should take the $50 or $100
loss and be happy with it I don't know btc-e is really coming but
up back now but people have told me yeah you should everyone should just if you
lost money for vtc deskey get used to it just get used to it right if you lost
money and it does come back you real care for what you do it's only
information you give it over there but you might be putting yourself on a money
launderer list and yet probably don't want to do that so Charlie Lee had an
epic reddit I missed I think he must have found this when I was in the air
and so maybe some of you have heard of it I link to it below okay but I'm gonna
read you some quotes about it because people always ask me about litecoin Adam
Adam what do you think about litecoin what do you think about litecoin and I
don't think that much about but I think we Charlie Lee thinks how about that so
this is what Charlie Lee said if you expect me to pump like coin to make you
rich I am NOT going to do that I do not work for you you are not investing in a
corporation where I am the CEO and I. Work to make investors money
this is not how decentralized currencies work again newbie this is me adding this
now if you're new to this decentralized currencies that's why we got into this
thing people so if you're into some centralized currency what are you doing
but anyway back to Charlie's quote if you don't appreciate that and don't like
it then please sell your like coin okay he also and there's more to it but
another thing that he says that I liked my vision for like Corinne is always
silver - bitcoins gold that's not going to change I will be
touting that whenever I can now remember he is the creator of light point for
your new people out there this is the creator of light pointing say it being
so honest is he is like the most honest man in cryptocurrency okay
he litecoin is always silver to bitcoins goal my vision for likens always
somebody big phones gold that is not going to change I will be touting that
whenever I can I see light coin working side-by-side with Bitcoin to address the
need for decentralized currency I hate to break it to you but light coin will
never overtake Bitcoin I'm gonna repeat that hear what he just said no matter
how much okay I have to break it to you the light coin will never overtake
Bitcoin Bitcoin will always be the king again this is the founder of light corn
saying this bitcoin will always be the king no matter how much I want that to
change it's not going to happen so again all
you people out there who ask me about like corner ask me about whatever a coin
you have and you think it's going to overtake Bitcoin you think I'm going to
say it's going to do that and you think if I say it on my youtube channel that
it's gonna help it isn't it's not going to happen the founder of litecoin is
saying to his coin which is like the second best coin out there on many
different levels it is the silver to bitcoins gold it isn't they didn't baby
cash is trying to be that probably but like coin is it it's not changing it's
not overtaking bitcoin and no matter how much I wanted to he wants to change it
it's not going to happen and then back to the quote I'm gonna find the cat and
we'll work toward the future we're both bitcoin and litecoin are used
by everyone all right so you know there can be cooperation in this space pound
that like button if you like cooperation and that's not saying that like coin
won't go up or whatever but I mean and someone just gave me $2 SDR from China
and now allowing Americans to buy okay yeah I don't like when Americans
are not prevented or prevented from buying things I think that is not nice
America anyone on the earth that money is freedom money is freedom and it
should not be garnished and try to take away our freedom thank you ACU five for
your tip and it people if you like to do these super tacks and send tips I
appreciate it I really thank you guys people been doing that a lot it seems to
be a trend I know people don't want to give away their a Bitcoin I don't blame
him I don't blame that today we were talking at the conference someone was a
guy who is actually in the chat sometimes he was he was at a conference
on men and he said no III wouldn't spend money on coffee when the coffee in a
year I'll look back I'll see how much I. Paid in Bitcoin it's gonna be like $100
or I paid $100 for a coffee I mean it's it's it's ludicrous it's it's a it's the
gold I mean it is it's it's a story whore it for the Hornet I also want to
say that there was a the word blockchain was being thrown around a lot today
which is interesting used to kind of make jokes about that the speaker was
one of the speaker's was from a corporate a very corporate environment
and was talking about internal blockchains and he was a nice guy and
everything I'm hit his company works to establish private blockchains I say
internal blockchain says I am thinking about intranet versus Internet and how
in 1997 they thought that intranet was going to be the big thing not internet
you got to have an intranet this is this this is the same comparison we have now
these private blockchains a days it's not about private blockchains it's about
the public blockchain is about Bitcoin all right so bill still who has been on
my show before he has a new show out there saying that a Bitcoin can hit
$100,000 in 2021 all right and reason I. Don't usually say things like that I
don't want get people too excited but he has definitely changed his mind people
the people who follow bill still and they're quite a few
you know bill still I can see that he was really down on Bitcoin for a while
he came on my show I didn't change his mind but he did soon change his mind
afterwards he got everyone knows he got scanned by quark back in the earth now
everyone knows that actually in the early days and there were a lot of
really obvious up coin scams well it became obvious at one point he got he
got scammed by these quark guys so and he had left a very bad taste in his
mouth and that happened to a lot of people and it sucks that happened to a
lot of people because they didn't hold on to their Bitcoin does now worth
almost $4,000 so buy-and-hold pound that like button
alright so we just experienced Friday now and it was like the opposite of fun
Friday these last two Fridays it's been fun Friday so what a difference a couple
months back to make we remember back in March well if those of you who are not
newbies because there's a lot of movies that are coming around but back in March
there was so much fun and we were dealing with king of the trolls and and
there'd be many Fridays where just a price would drop and people would be
down but I told you have a strong hand people I linked you a Craig shift
Craig ship craig ship video below and craig it's an interview that we did not
the one that i uploaded here but when he uploaded so it's funny it's it's kind of
it's very quirky it's very quirky straight out of baltimore type of weird
stuff I mean it actually was Craig's idea I wish I could say it was my idea
because I I try to have wacky ideas like that so I'm not I'm not dissing Craig I
love I loved it but you know the person who interviewed
me was very interesting and it doesn't have that much to do with Bitcoin at
times and maybe it'll just attract some Outsiders the Bitcoin it's it's funny
and a lot of you are gonna be like this is weird this is weird
okay whatever if you think it's weird you think it's weird but I think it's
it's big it's quirky and Thank You Craig ship you are awesome
you are awesome you are awesome he and obviously people love Craig shift
because his camera is a lot better than my camera hey but if you want to buy me
a camera people you could buy me a camera right yeah I don't get my
good cameras I'm always check I'm always traveling it's really hard to schlep
around all this stuff from like continent to continent it's not that
it's so I have an extra piece of equipment you know you know if you want
to give me if you want to give me something that you think is lightweight
or whatever I don't have time to even research and stuff and to me it just
listen to these videos I still can't understand why any of you in this 95
percent or 93 percent male audience want to look at me really I have no idea why
you want to look at me let me a serious if you are I mean if you'd like a look
at men and I'm a good-looking man and everything by game most of you don't
like to look at man I assume I mean like most guys are attracted to women at
least in my experience so okay but don't value your life in women and getting
their approval okay we're getting off on a tangent so uh all right a client of
mine I had that I had to say this and this is important for new people out
there a client of mine made a huge mistake
he sent his etherium in a rush to try to buy an ICO
okay he sent it to some exchange and he comes to me he's like I lost nine
ethereal you got to help me out here I.

Sent it to this address and I just
thought about it for a while and I said wait a second to you check your exchange
what's your aetherium classic address on your exchange sure enough he had sent it
to his aetherium classic address so guy and now he's got a bag his exchange to
put his aetherium that said as a fearing plastic address which obviously is also
aetherium address but one that he cannot access into his ethereal address that he
can access at the exchange take it slow people make sure when you
send your aetherium to an exchange you send it to a theorem and not a theorem
classic it's a mistake that people make Oh
don't send nine aetherium at once either it's a probably good idea like send you
point no one just take it slow take it slow I mean some of you were saying oh
that's so obvious Adam or whatever you know there's new people out there let's
try to help the newbies and again try to understand Bitcoin before you start
playing with I SEOs in a theorem and all that stuff I said on yesterday's show
that Gabriel in Venezuela we were in contact he's been on the show before
he's a great guy he is fine at least 48 hours ago he was
fine there they're going over some problem they're having some problems
down there okay obviously the the threat of a future Bitcoin fork has been
neutered I would say the threat from the 2x has been I mean that's what's going
on that's well that's what's in the air right now maybe they'll come back maybe
they'll try to use B cache as their weapon and I mentioned that before
again if there is no 2x hard fork which there's looking like the chance there
won't be then this is we don't have till November to think about this I really
don't worry about it now but that will be good for the B cash price again if we
end up with you know a second Bitcoin altcoin then that won't be good for the
be cash price okay here's another tweet that I forgot to add below a today's
newspaper in India I mentioned Bitcoin I. Think this is this is going real long
here you guys noticed that be cash likes the surge in the morning anyone have a
theory about that okay I'm gonna mention this another show
but we're running out of time and I'll mention well I'm gonna mention Peter
chef's I'll conclude with the Peter Schiff thing here Peter Schiff talked
about Bitcoin today I link to that video below and he was just saying that he
thinks that gold the gold could pop pop the Bitcoin bubble he's always talking
about that and he was kind of angry it seemed like or frustrated that CNBC is
talking a lot about Bitcoin in a very positive way or at least he felt CNBC
was he said he's he admitted that some of his clients are cashing out their
funds with him and buying Bitcoin I mean that is that's bullish right there and
it's it's good that Peter can admit that I mean I don't think Peter is a bad dude
I don't think he is a bad dude I think he is he didn't it a little bit that he
is biased for gold I don't think he's a bad dude
I just think he's stubborn he's very stubborn and uh a lot of our people are
stubborn I've had advice bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister
remember to subscribe this channel like this video share this video do check out
the notes section below i got a lot of material for tomorrow so tune in
tomorrow pound that like button I will talk to you guys later bye bye.

aberdeen times - Decred Assembly - Ep9 - Litecoin, Decred and More w Charlie Lee

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

Hello everybody, and welcome to episode 9 of the Decred Assembly. I'm your host Tyler and today we are joined by Austin Williams and Charlie Lee the one and only Satoshi Nakamoto, maybe who knows? Before we start the show, I just want to let everybody know that we had a successful first hard fork of the Decred Network. Which happened yesterday, so it's really awesome that we could get to have Charlie on the show the day after. We hard forked our staking difficulty algorithm and everything went smooth.

Everything is going awesome right now on the Decred network. Which is really great. And I want to thank everybody that participated in the survey that we did before the show started. Just all the questions, we got so many questions and we try to consolidate everything could into a list of questions that would make sense and flow right for the conversation.

So hopefully if we don't get to everybody's questions I apologize but it's just what it is. So yeah, and one last thing. Yeah, I think that's it, on my intro type stuff. So yeah, welcome to the show! Charlie it's awesome to have you on the show.

Hey How's it going? Good And then we're joined by Austin Williams over here, he's my co-host today. I guess let's get started and maybe you can do a quick introduction for all those that don't know you Charlie. Yeah so, Name is Charlie Lee, I created Litecoin six years ago. And I love Decred also.

And recently left Coinbase to work on Litecoin full-time. That's awesome. Yeah, and we'll probably dive into some of these topics a little deeper. So I have my list of questions here, going based on what the community said or what I thought would be interesting to talk about.

Alright, so first question. Are use to Satoshi Nakamoto? No I'm not, unfortunately. Alright, well sorry guys for anybody wondering out there. I guess Charlie is not Satoshi.

We had a lot of people wanting to ask that question. Yeah. So I guess to get started, What's your origin story and your involvement behind Bitcoin and like in the beginnings? So how did you first get into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? Yeah, so in 2011 I found out about Bitcoin through I think a Wired article on Silk Road and kind of got hooked like everyone else. Was breathing, eating, and kind of sleeping, thinking about Bitcoin.

Back then the community was so small that you can practically read everything about Bitcoin You can just track and follow the bitcoin forum and read everything going on with Bitcoin, If you spend like the whole day on it. So I was doing that, I did everything. I mined some bitcoins using gpus. I built a couple of mining machines.

I bought Bitcoin, I even got into the pirate ponzi scheme, basically everything. Yeah, all the things that they were going on, I kind of got involved in. And then people started creating alt coins and I decided I want to create, I decided- I figured I could create an altcoin that was better than all the other ones out there and so I did. And was a good chance to kind of learn the source code too.

Yeah, and so what were you doing before, before I guess Bitcoin and Litecoin? I was working at Google. I was working on YouTube mobile, and also Chrome OS, Chromebooks. Awesome Yeah And so you said you decided to create Litecoin because you wanted to create the best altcoin So what was your motivation behind, I guess the way you you built Litecoin because from my understanding Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin. Essentially its primary difference is it's Proof of Work algorithm is significantly different, Yeah so, Well a couple of things.

One is a few of the- most of the altcoins before Litecoin were all kind of very scammy. Created by people who wanted to strike it rich so they pre-mined a lot of coins and kind of try to pump it and if it gets on an exchange they could sell their stash. So I wanted to create something that's fair. And the second thing I want to do was create A coin that complements Bitcoin and be the silver to Bitcoin's gold.

So I understood quite well the relationship between gold and silver, the commodity and currency. I've done Gold futures trading previously. So yes the idea was to create a coin that had a bit more upon the faster, easier to use, kind of just like silver versus gold. And one thing I figured out is that I needed to change the proof of work otherwise it would be competing with Bitcoin for miners.

Which is really hard for a new coin to kind of survive. So Scrypt was actually already being used by another coin called Tenebrix. And it was at that time mined by a CPU on your computer. So it was a good choice.

So I decided to do that. And I guess the rest is history. Awesome. So you created Litecoin, you know Litecoin had a big uprising, I think it was 2013? 2013 2013, I think I went to like 50 bucks.

It was pennies earlier that year. And then I guess after that, price pulled back a lot, we went into a Crypto winter. And I mean for a lot of coins, not just not just Litecoin, and then you went to go work for a Coinbase. So maybe you can tell us a little bit about your experience at Coinbase, and what drew you to go work for them.

Yeah, I joined Coinbase in June of 2013. The reason why I decided to join Coinbase as opposed to focus on Litecoin, was that I realized in order for- well, I guess I'm a Bitcoiner before I created Litecoin, so I'm a huge fan of Bitcoin also. And I realized that for Bitcoin and Litecoin to succeed, it had to be easy to use and Coinbase was one of the platforms that made Bitcoin easy to use. It was the best one out there that made it possible for people like my mom or dad to actually buy some coins.

And not have to worry about how to secure them, 'cause there's no way they're gonna run a node or figure out how to secure their own coins. And back then the hardware wallets weren't really out. So it was just really hard and Coinbase made things easy. So I figured I want to help Coinbase and help make Bitcoin and eventually Litecoin easy to use for the average folks.

And that's why I joined Coinbase. Yeah. And I saw the tweet that you sent, I think four years ago to Coinbase, I think probably before you started working there, essentially trying to see if they would add Litecoin. Yeah So did you joining Coinbase have anything to do with trying to get Litecoin listed on Coinbase? I guess it was my ulterior motive for joining Coinbase.

But I knew that, at that time I knew Coinbase adding Litecoin is a far fetched thing. 'Cause most companies were focused on Bitcoin. And Litecoin, I mean it's definitely confusing if you go on onto Coinbase and it was saying buy Bitcoin and/or Litecoin and all these other coins. So yeah, I guess I worked in the background to try and get Coinbase to add Litecoin, and they eventually did this year.

But the main reason I joined Coinbase was to actually just help Coinbase succeed and make Bitcoin easy to use. And I know that once Bitcoin is easy to easy to use, everything else will follow. I think we're all lucky to have you know an awesome I mean Coinbase has been an awesome service for onboarding a lot of new users into Bitcoin. Most of the people that I know that got in later to Bitcoin have bought their first coins definitely from Coinbase.

So then you know Coinbase recently added Litecoin, and then you've also recently left Coinbase, so mission accomplished. And now you've moved on to supporting Litecoin full-time. So what drew you to this decision in your life, to move on to supporting litecoin full-time, and maybe you could talk a little bit about that. Sure, yeah actually I started spending more time working on Litecoin mid last year.

The reason why I decided to do that is I saw the the scaling debate with Bitcoin, kind of ... Becoming a huge mess. And I figured I could do something to kind of help push things along. Since I created Litecoin and have a lot of influence with it, I can try to help Litecoin activate Segwit to kind of prove to people that Segwit actually works.

And there's no- all this FUD around it is just all lies. So that's why I did. So we worked hard on porting Segwit to Litecoin. Well it's actually not hard, the code wasn't that hard.

What was hard is actually convincing all the miners and pools to activate Segwit on Litecoin because the the politics for Bitcoin kind of Kind of affected Litecoin also because pools and miners were hesitant to support Segwit on Litecoin because then they would have no reason to not support it for Bitcoin. But yeah, they eventually after a lot of talking, deals and stuff, and just convincing, and trying to get miners and pools to start signaling and kind of break away from from the pack. Eventually they were finally all convinced that adding Segwit to Litecoin was the right thing to do So what was like your primary argument to the miners to getting them on board like "hey, this could be the testbed" for you know is that? I mean one thing is Everyone on Litecoin- like pretty much all the Litecoin supporters want Segwit. Litecoin, for the past few years haven't really done anything different than Bitcoin so doing Segwit would kind of like be something different and show that we can actually kind o be different.

And to be a testbed for Bitcoin, to also potentially add lightning networks and other things before Bitcoin does. The argument was that that would help the price right? Miners and pools care about the price of the coin that they're mining so that they can make more money. And once, one of the pools F2Pool started signaling for Segwit, the price jumped. So it kind of proved that the market actually prefers Segwit on Litecoin.

And that helped convince more and more pools and miners to support this and kind of slowly, but surely it got everyone convinced. So Austin do you have any questionss far? I think to follow up on that, So you did it first of all. Congratulations! That's no small task. I'm curious what your assessment is like.

Do you do you feel like it has been impactful in the ongoing block size debate in Bitcoin. As the example that Litecoin has set, is that that is influential as we would hope? It's hard to say what would happen if Litecoin didn't get Segwit, so I don't know how much it has influenced things, It's definitely done something. So a lot of people use the argument that Segwit was fine on Litecoin. There's even like a two million dollar bounty on a Segwit address proving that it's safe.

Miners aren't just stealing these, "anyone can spend coins" Because of the way Segwit is activated Also, I think one of the big things is that with Segwit on Litecoin, like a lot of Bitcoin developers, like lightning network developers who were really frustrated with bitcoin, Where Segwit is kind of like, in the technical communities adding Segwit is kind of a no-brainer. It's multiple wins with a soft fork with very little risk. So just people- the devs were getting kind of frustrated that Segwit is not getting activated on Bitcoin and work is getting stalled because of that. So with Segwit on Litecoin a lot of developers, like Lightning developers can actually start testing and work on stuff with lightning on Litecoin.

And the nice thing is that when bitcoin eventually gets Segwit, all the work can easily be ported over to Bitcoin because Litecoin and Bitcoin are so similar. And one other thing is that some of the bitcoin developers started working on Litecoin. For example Johnson Lau is working on adding MAST, and covenants. And some of the new Op codes to Litecoin as a soft fork.

The feature is called Smart Crypto-Vault. He is very excited that you can actually start working on that before Bitcoin gets Segwit. So that's definitely that's definitely like a plus where developers can get unblocked and just Be excited about working on code as opposed to all this political BS. Yeah, we can keep that forward momentum until the politics catches up.

Yeah. So like a lot of Bitcoin maximalist, they treat all other altcoins as sort of just like test beds for bitcoin proper? You know there's some truth to that and in as much as if it's a if it's a close enough fork to Bitcoin, like Litecoin is. Like you're saying they can put all that work back to Bitcoin. On the other hand if the politics takes too long to catch up, then anyone who wants to take part in the new features like what lightning and stuff like that.

I mean if Bitcoin takes too long to catch up then it might be too late to fork, you can lose network effect. I don't think we've lost it too badly yet in the Bitcoin space, but that really could happen if they dont, Yeah, to certain degree but I think Bitcoin is still going to be king of cryptocurrency. And I always envision Litecoin to compliment Bitcoin, so it's not about stealing features or users from Bitcoin but more like Litecoin is faster, more nimble and can kind of upgrade more contentious and more Risky features sooner. To test it out because it has a smaller market cap.

Yeah, this has been the perfect example of that, implementing Segwit. Yeah And so and then this kind of segue into a good question, so in your opinion, what do you think the largest unsolved problem in cryptocurrency is right now? The largest unsolved problem I think it's still ease of use in terms of securing your coins. So now you have hardware wallets which makes things easier. So it's all about the trade-off between convenience and security.

Alright so even Coinbase is very convenient But then you're relying on a third party for everything. Putting everything in your- like securing yourself, You're like running your own node, Works, but then if you get hacked, then you can lose all your coins. Or if you put all your savings into a paper wallet, it's very secure but you can screw up and lose access to your own coins. So that trade-off is hard for anyone to make.

Whether how secure you want the coin to be, how convenient you want to access it? I think hardware wallets is close to an optimal solution for most people, but it's still not that easy to use. So I think we need, to keep working on that until everyone can be able to secure their coins without-with very low chance of losing them. And do you have any any ideas on solutions to that problem because it seems like it's a really I mean tough problem. I mean, I feel like the twelve word or 33 word phrase or whatever is pretty easy But it's still pretty hard for a lot of people.

I don't know. Do you have any thoughts on, you know after working at Coinbase I feel like you guys probably bash our heads against the wall pretty regularly. Thank you Yeah, the 24 words is easy But then you have to write it down and you have to put in a safe place. So you can put it in your bank vault or bank safe-deposit box, but then what happens if you lose access to that Or if there's a fire or something like that.

Do you want to put in multiple places? But if you put in multiple places there's risk of someone getting access to one of the places right? So then you can password protect it with a password. It's still pretty complicated. Yeah, there's no optimal solution, yet. And I haven't, It's hard to come up with an optimal solution that is both safe and secure and also You have very little to no chance of losing access to things yourself.

Yeah, potentially something like where you have- using some sort of Smart contracts Like Check Sequence Verify, if you lose access then the coins will be sent sometime in the future like one year later, so you can still get get the coins, but you just have to wait for a timeout. Something like that. So we're working on adding more smart contract kind of stuff to Litecoin via Smart Crypto-Vault. So with that potential, we have a better solution.

Gotcha That's pretty cool. Yeah so, What is Smart Crypto-Vault? I'm pretty involved in a Decred community so it's hard to keep up with all the projects, so Smart Crypto-Vault is it's basically MAST which is Merkelized Abstract Syntax Tree with covenants. And so MAST is the ability to kind of put a lot of scripts Into one merkle tree. So that you save space, and you only kind of expose the script when you use it.

So there's a privacy and kind of space saving feature of that where you can put a lot of smart contract kind of code to control a transaction but then you don't have to actually put all that into the blockchain until you actually use it. You can probably google MAST with Bitcoin. There's a quite a few articles on it. It's very innovative and it's very cool.

And we can only do it because we have Segwit, where the Witness Data is all in the Merkle Root- Merkle Tree. And then Smart Crypto-Vault is? So in the other part like covenants where you can create some kind of vault transactions where you can have a company can have kind of like a lock transaction. That's like a two of two transaction, but if your account gets hacked and someone's got into it, If someone got access to one key, they can broadcast the transaction to take the coin. But then it'll be locked for x amount of time, so if you use both keys you can kind of pull the coins back.

So it's a way to secure the coins in a way where There's a time lock on like a vault. Yeah, google covenants with bitcoin. You can read more about that. Gotcha.

It's just adding more smart contract features to Bitcoin and Litecoin It's not going to be as feature-rich as kind of Ethereum But it's enough to do a lot of cool things on Litecoin like native Litecoin Blockchain. Yeah, that sounds really cool. I'm looking forward to reading more about that. So I have a couple questions around the August first date, so I guess I'll start with the first one MIT I guess released a page that says something about Litecoin.

It's like litecoin.Mit.Edu or something is the page. So do you know anything about what's gonna happen? I think the countdown is on August 1st too. I don't know what that page is about but I'm not gonna assume that it's an official MIT release until I hear otherwise because it's very easy for a student or staff member to actually obtain that domain name litecoin.Mit.Edu All you have to do is, if your username was x, then your domain is x.Mit.Edu and your email is x@mit.Edu So it could just be a student deciding to deciding to take the username Litecoin and to create this page to kind of pump litecoin. So I sent an email to them, and I didn't go reply, so I'm gonna assume it's a hoax until I get otherwise.

So it's smart, those MIT kids are smart. So there's another thing happening on August 1st and it revolves around Bitcoin primarily and User Activated Soft Forks and BIP 148. So I was wondering what are your opinions on UASF and BIP 148 more and what do you think's gonna happen on August 1st? So for UASF I think the idea is good that users actually have control over Bitcoin or Litecoin because users give the coin value. So, if all the users for Bitcoin are running UASF code then it's gonna happen because if It doesn't, the exchanges and the miners have to kind of follow that blockchain.

Otherwise they won't have any users on the other chain. So, but what's most important for UASF is to actually get all the exchanges to be running UASF code, for the exchanges to represent their users. So if the exchanges are running UASF code, then miners have to comply because miners won't be able sell coins on the different chain. If they don't follow the UASF chain then their mined coins will be worthless.

And the idea is that if there are two chains and let's say exchange a support multiple chains? If users all want UASF, all want Segwit, then the UASF coin will be worth more. And if it's worth more than miners will automatically mine that coin because they'll make more money. So that's kind of the idea behind it. But it's definitely risky if the miners are not mining that and not enough users are on the UASF chain and not enough exchanges are on it.

So that's risky, but what's happening is with Segwit2X. Supposedly the code will be out soon, and if 80% of the miners are signaling you UA- sorry signaling Segwit2x then Segwit will happen and on August 1st there won't be a split because all the miners and pools will actually signal for Segwit on August 1st and we'll be ok At least that's the idea. Yeah If they signal late, that could be a problem Yeah. That'd be a weird problem right, so then you'd have two groups of people who both want to activate Segwit that are threatening to fork from one another to do it, Which is really weird.

But I think we'll fall in line before August 1st. I think there's too much at stake. I think everyone knows it. I think so too.

I think the the riskier thing is what happens in November or December when- Yeah Three months after Segwit- Yeah that's a whole nother thing On top of that I mean, so let's say Segwit2x does get activated. So what's gonna happen with Bitcoin Core? 'Cause pretty much all of Bitcoin Core does not approve of Segwit2x and it's this compromise of bitcoin unlimited of you know like "We want a hard fork" and then bitcoin core and a lot of the group want Segwit which is a soft fork? So Segwit2x is, let's compromise with hard fork. So Yeah I mean, It's yeah, I've written on Twitter about Segwit2x. I think it's quite crazy that you would run this new code with like a couple weeks of peer review and do a hard fork in three months and kind of try to Get rid of all the bitcoin core Devs, in a way.

Or this is something that pretty much like all the core devs are against and the core devs are like the smartest and brightest cryptocurrency people in the space. It's a meritocracy. You don't get to work on bitcoin core unless you actually know what you're doing. So it's crazy.

This is a forty billion dollar market cap. And we are just kind of- I don't know that's crazy Yeah, I guess this kind of segues into Decred. It seems like UASF essentially wants this ability to have their holdings of the currency or have some representation of "I'm a holder of bitcoin, I want the Direction of Bitcoin to shift this way?" And obviously that wasn't built into the original design of Bitcoin and and the miners themselves are actually the ones who have all the control. Essentially, getting all the economic and big nodes online is definitely a way to go about that, but you still have the issue of "You need miners to support it no matter what." So I guess well.

I mean- Miners don't have all the control. Everybody plays their part. So like miners can't, they can't really delete- like for example they can't just start mining and Create more coins for themselves, they can't change the 21 million bitcoin limit. Sure.

But if they do then no one will support that coin. So they don't have all the control. So if they if they stop mining the coin, then there's no security and it loses value, So you need miners. But they don't have all the control.

So everybody has a little bit of say, so now it's question of Who really gets the final Say? Absolutely Part of everybody works together, right? Yeah, yeah, and I think everybody at the end of the day wants what's best for Bitcoin and people just- this is a very contentious argument on how we how we get to that point Is Bitcoin gonna be the coin that supports billions of people and handles payments for everything? I think a lot of people want to see that, and some people just want to see it used as a reserve currency that supports a lot of other stuff. So and does the centralization and scaling become an issue? Because like Craig Wright says- do we need to run $20,000 nodes to support this type of Network and not a lot of people agree with that. So I guess what I'm trying to do is segue into the topic of Decred and for all the watchers or listeners out there, viewers that don't know. Charlie co-wrote a paper called proof of activity.

It was actually one of the birthing ideas behind Decred, so you know Charlie, I was wondering if you can talk about your history involved in the creation behind Decred, And for those that don't know Decred is a currency that essentially has governance built straight into it's blockchain. That allows voting of the control of the future of the protocol, to control how we handle decisions like scaling. So I was wondering if you can well to talk about that Yeah so, Back then in like 2011-2012. I was kind of- I had my hands in a lot of different things and for example, I thought of a way to do a more fair way to do mining, pool mining kind of reward.

So another thing. I worked on was this Proof of Activity idea, it was Basically people wanted to explore proof of stake and a way to do that. One thing I thought of was proof of activity where there is people who hold coins sign blocks and if blocks- The more signatures a block has then the more secure it is because people are online with their coins and they can sign a block if they get randomly chosen to sign that block. So if someone attacks the network then If they fork, kind of in secret, they won't be able to sign as many blocks because the coins that they own won't be randomly chosen as often as the whole network.

The winning chain is one that has the longest Chain plus more signed blocks. There's like a simple algorithm to- simple calculations to decide which chain is better. So it's much harder for someone to attack a chain in secret, because they don't have enough stake and Decred loosely kind of uses that idea with a hybrid Proof of Stake/Proof of Work where you buy tickets to a lottery. So you have to use your stake to kind of buy tickets where your coins are locked up and then you randomly get chosen to vote and that basically controls, which chain is the winning chain.

And the nice thing about this votng is that you can also vote on hard forking rule changes, or just any proposals. And that's basically what Decred is all about, where users not only are they protecting the coin with votes, they're also changing- voting on the direction of the the coin. Yeah, and you know I think that's one of the biggest selling points to me on Decredd and then on top of that I think the developers behind Decred are pretty phenomenal. So we're lucky to have such a strong development team, and another thing that really kind of spurred my curiosity is you got involved in the Decred community a few months ago? And I was really surprised when I learned that your Proof of Activity paper was one of the main papers that contributed to the idea behind Decred, so I was wondering you know why why were you not- I mean did you know about Decred earlier on? And why didn't you I become a supporter sooner rather than than later of the project? Yeah, so when I came out with Proof of Activity I mean, it's just it wasn't really- I wasn't spending a lot of time on it.

It was just kind of something neat idea I came up with and Back then Litecoin was already running and people were asking me Will I add it to litecoin? Will I switch proof of work on Litecoin to proof of activity? And I basically said it was too hard to kind of switch that on the fly for Litecoin, too risky. It would be cool if a new coin would try this idea out, so someone did his username was Tacotime? He decided to work on MC2. I think that's what it was called, and that's based on the Proof of Activity work And then that project merged with Decred, what BTCD team was doing and it became Decred. So I wasn't really following MC2 because it was years before you actually got something working.

And then I remember hearing about Decred a bit but I didn't really have time to follow up on it until recently earlier this year Someone on the Decred team pinged me and asked me what my thoughts are on Decred. And then that kind of reminded me "I've heard of this project before" so looked into it more and realized It's actually something that's working in practice. It's in live production of something based off of Proof of Activity so I guess that got me more excited about it. So I looked into it more and found out how awesome it was.

Awesome Is one of the main reasons you support the Decred project, was I guess your proof of activity? So I mean are there any other reasons? Besides taking that original idea and turning it into something that's working? Are there any other reasons why you've become a community member and stakeholder so forth? Yeah, Decred is not just- I mean my original idea was pretty simple, but it added voting which allows users to kind of control the direction of the project. And recently the whole block size debate on bitcoin, Really shows why something like this is needed because right now you just don't know what people want for Bitcoin. You hear on Twitter, or Reddit you see all these people arguing but we don't really know like Do the majority of people actually want Bigger blocks, or do the majority want smaller blocks, but more like more security and decentralization, or do they even care? It's pretty much impossible to poll or survey the users of bitcoin in a reliable way, where with Decred it's actually possible to do that via the voting system. So that's kind of the innovation that I'm excited about where- and we saw the first vote get passed where people want to fix the staking algorithm to make it better and people also voted to, they want the developers to start researching adding lightning networks to Decred.

And this is something that we know for sure that that's what the community wants. As opposed to just loosely be able to tell what people want So I guess that's why I think Decred, the project Decred has some value. It's doing something that pretty much no one else in this In this community is doing which is at least it's one of the first ones to do it, which is the ability to do on-chain hard fork based off of Stake Voting. Yeah, and you know and another thing for the viewers that don't know so when a fix like the staking difficulty algorithm fix, which also if for you guys don't know Charlie actually contributed to that proposal.

He's one of the many community members that contributed to helping fix that and Also fixing that algorithm, it's actually pre-coded into the release where we vote. And you lock up your funds for essentially up to 142 days and then when your ticket gets called you get your funds back plus a little reward. But then if that vote passes after a lock-in period of about a month of the fork actually activates on chain Automatically which I think is a really innovative thing for a system like this versus "voting and signaling" and then going and working on it like some of these other systems that have Governance built in. Yup.

So we also have a proposal system coming online soon and one of our Decred community members have a good question for you. They said Charlie in the proposal system, for those of you that don't know in Decred is essentially you'll pay a little bit of Decred, you'll submit a proposal to the network and what it will allow you to do is vote on our development organization subsidy. Giving you however much funds that you're asking for to do something for the Decred network or whatever. So somebody had a good question.

If you could submit one proposal once the system goes live, what would it be? For Decred? Yeah, yeah, well I mean the funds could be used for anything, so It's obviously- It's probably gonna need to be for Decred in some way because you might not get as much adoption. Yeah, well one thing assuming that lighting network is Done on Decred one cool thing would be to do a decentralized exchange via lightning network in cross chain atomic swaps, so that's what I would propose I guess. Build a decentralized exchange that would swap Decred with any other coin that also has lightning. Yes, I think that would be really cool.

I totally- yeah, you got my vote for that proposal. I'm not gonna do it. Someone else can do all the work. Well at least you'll have the funding behind it so you can give the money to somebody else.

Lightning network on litecoin yet and Litecoin Network or is that still in development? It works, so lightning, the Developers are still working on improving the infrastructure. Right now, they're not really focused on the UI so it's it's mostly a command line. You can create a node, and create payment channels, and start transferring coins. I think it's going to be slow in terms of building a great UI for lightning network.

What I envision in the future is that users don't really care what technology is used to send payments. They just want to send payments right? So for example when you swipe the credit card you don't care how many banks it goes through for approval, how the money flow actually works. You just care that you get approved and you get the product that you're buying. So same for eventually in the future for Bitcoin, You send money to the merchants, you send Bitcoin to a merchant or Litecoin You don't care if it's using on-chain transactions, using lightning, it's using some other form of payments.

All you care is that the money gets there and you get the product. So we make a UI where the recipient is some sort of address that can you can actually send on chain to or you can send lightning to. So how that is implemented is kind of yet to be seen. Your vision, it sounds like you do but When the lightning network is up and running I always imagined it being used like from business to business with stuff on the backend, But it sounds like you're seeing it like if you just have two arbitrary users on the network that they ought to be able to pay each other.

Like one time- Uh-huh -lightning. Oh good, that's interesting I hope that it ends up working out that way. That would a really powerful thing Yeah, I think Yeah, it's still to be determined how things will work, like how the lightning network will be, whether it's a lot of Kind of big hubs where you go through or if it's all more like everybody like all the nodes those who are kind of decentralized and it doesn't really matter you just have to be able to pay someone. As long as you can find a route to them.

Yeah, having a single address to pay either though the lightning network or through directly on chain would be perfect. That'd be great. Yeah, well that's How that is done is still to be determined. But we have smart people working on it, so So and We're gonna dive back into lightning networks soon for all the viewers out there, but I want to pull back to the governance topic.

So with Litecoin, do you foresee there arising governance issues as the currency grows and market cap, and you know could potentially be be that silver to Bitcoin. Do you see governance being an issue with Litecoin? So I guess there is advantages and disadvantages of me being around. Where I kind of have a lot of influence, but that's also if I started doing stupid shit, or If I get compromised in some way, right? Then the network could be harmed by me. So we'll see how that works, maybe In a few years, I might have to kind of step away and say that's it.

It's too much of a liability for me to be around. Yeah, we saw Vitalik's death get faked and the price dropped instantly with Ethereum. Yeah it needs to be aware If something happens to me Litecoin doesn't die because of it. I hope Litecoin price won't drop because something happened to me but Yeah, so it's definitely a liability, but it's also good where I can help kind of Push Litecoin towards my vision right? I think Segwit passing on Litecoin earlier this year would have been much harder without me kind of pushing or convincing the miners and pools to believe in my vision.

And as you see with Bitcoin, no one's in charge, So it's hard to get anything done. It's kind of like a benevolent dictator versus a democracy. In the U.S. Things are just inefficient because it's just hard for us to get stuff done because of the democracy.

Whereas if you have a dictator then they can do anything they want, pretty much. A few years ago, I went back to China and I just heard that if the chinese government wanted to kind of improve a certain area of the country they can just tell everyone to move out. And they're gonna tear everything down and build skyscrapers and after like two years "Come on back in," We just rebuilt your city. This is not something that we can do In the U.S.

We can't just force people to leave their city and rebuild it for them But hey, when you have a communist government you can do that, and it's efficient. They just have no right. Oh yeah. It's a tradeoff.

Yeah so, it's good and bad. Definitely agree with that. I think it's definitely good having the project creator around. I think if Satoshi was still around we wouldn't probably be having this scaling debate.

So, Craig Wright says otherwise but [laughter] We see both groups kind of saying that this is what Satoshi would have done or something like that, it's like, read the whitepaper This is what Satoshi wanted but just like use one of hirm forum posts and kind of claim that's proof that we should do things this way. Yeah I think Roger Ver likes to take a lot of stuff out of context sometimes and say this is what Satoshi wanted. There's really no way to say what he wanted, because then when he was thinking about the network It wasn't what it is now. I mean, it's really hard to say what anybody who would want unless you were actually able to talk to him now.

Yeah, even back then even back most people would think that, hey we just like increase the block size when when the time comes. A lot of people have changed their mind over the years and become more conservative and realized that we can't take these risks and decentralization and security is of the utmost importance. Once you lose decentralization- -then it's just a bank. It's like a little bit more decentralized version of Paypal.

Yeah. Right So do we want that? I mean some people want that, but so that's the reason why we have such a big debate right now is because in the early years Bitcoin was pretty much perfect. It satisfied both camps. But because things are cheap and the reason why it satisfied both camps is because of the mining rewards.

All the miners are getting paid 50 bitcoin a block. And they don't care that the fees are low. You can do micro micro payments because there's very little users and everybody who wants to send Bitcoin can send send it for cents or below a cent. So it's like both camps are happy and thought that bitcoin is like the perfect thing and over time as we get more and more people and the blog rewards are decreasing you now kind of have choose because there's now a trade-off.

Do you want to keep decentralization and security? Or do you want faster, cheaper payments that support like a billion people on-chain. And you can't have both anymore. And both sides are saying that their vision of Bitcoin is getting destroyed. Yeah, and so it really is a really sensitive topic and I think there are future solutions for this, but I think one of the great things about this whole space is that we have multiple projects going on at all times trying to solve different things.

So maybe Bitcoin does retain that thing that is just never going to change. And maybe that's not a bad thing and we allow other projects like Litecoin or Decred or Monero or some of the other more highly respected projects in the space to continue grow in different ways that bitcoin can't. Yeah and if Bitcoin is like the the decentralized gold, It's still very valuable. I mean, even if it costs ten dollars to send a Bitcoin payment, what you're getting is something incredible where it's a payment that can't be that can't be reversed and its borderless and nothing and nothing else can compete.

Alright, you can't send gold like that, you can't send a wire that way, that's that efficient and that can't be reversed. And that's cheap compared to wire fees. So even then It's still an amazing thing and you can have other currencies to fill the other niches. Yeah, and I guess going back to the topic of Litecoin and Decred, so do you foresee our two projects ever collaborating and working together in a way that you know could benefit each other? I mean potentially with lighting network Yeah, like atomic swap could happen between the two.

We can work together on that. There will be other things we can work together on. Awesome Alright, so we answered that question too fast so Maybe we should just merge the two chains and call it Litecred or something like that There you go. Yeah, I like that, that's not a bad idea.

Well, I think there could be some cool things that could happen. And I've been talking with Dave C. And some of the other devs that Decred is, how could we take the governance system that Decred's built and allow other currencies to benefit off of that technology? And maybe with lightning network and atomic swaps, it might be possible. I don't- you know this is above my pay grade.

But I feel like that is something Decred could offer to other blockchains that could benefit the entire space. Which would be cool. And again, I'm not a developer so- or I am a developer, I'm just not a blockchain developer. So are there are there any features that you would want to import from Decred into Litecoin, that you foresee in the future? It'd be cool to have the governance feature in Litecoin.

But it would be very hard to do it, very risky to switch the proof-of-work to something different. I mean, that's why what Ethereum is doing is pretty crazy, trying to switch to proof of stake. Such a big market cap coin to do it is yeah, especially because they used to have this difficulty bomb or they maybe still have it, where they purposely created a kind of a suicide pill where they would have to switch to proof of stake and the other chain, the proof of work chain would just die because of difficulty would get so high. So miners can't kind of keep the original Chain alive unless they hardfork, but now I think they have to remove that difficulty bomb because they don't have proof of stake ready yet in time.

So if they hard fork remove that difficulty bomb then when they actually hard fork to proof of stake, miners will actually keep the under ghain alive. And who knows, it's gonna be a hard switch. We'll have mEth and pEth and ETC. We'll have all these varieties of Ethereum, it's going to be awesome.

Yup, awesome for traders I guess. Actually let me go sell some Decred right now. Oh man. No Charlie, you're supposed to stake Decred.

Keep calm and stake Decred. One thing with Decred, it's still hard to kind of do staking. It would be cool to have more user interface for staking or something that'll let you do staking automatically. Yeah, well and talking about that, I think with the sdiff algorithm getting switched.

For all the users that don't know Really you shouldn't-. Like soon enough, you really shouldn't wait to buy tickets. Before most people don't know this but the price of a ticket would vary drastically. I mean it would go up like 100 Decred, 150 Decred, back down to 100.

And then it would finally become cheap where everybody would purchase them because it made sense again. Hopefully that should be fixed now, so what I think, I'm hoping that there's not going be as much competition. So you're not going to have to vary your fees that you're paying to buy tickets. You should just be able to put your bids in to buy tickets and I think that fixing this algorithm is going to make a huge effect on adopting ticket purchasing in the future.

So it should be kind of one-click, in my opinion, going forward. Yeah, I think it's huge. Should be a lot easier, just buy whenever you have funds. Yeah.

So and ticket buyer too. You're not going to have to do weird crazy configurations like you had to before for it to automatically purchase tickets and not like rape yourself on fees. So I think that's going to have a big effect on the future of that. So in my last question regarding Decred, before we move into lightning network is, do you think Decred is ever going to get listed on GDAX or Coinbase? And what does it take for a coin to be important enough to get added by them.

I would say, trade volume and interest. In the end companies are only interested in making money. Like one of the reasons why Litecoin got added is because it just had huge trading volumes. And also it was easy to add Litecoin because it's so similar to Bitcoin.

And having me work there didn't hurt either. So yeah, but then in the end It was about trading volume. We had Litecoin added to GDAX. But then the reason why we decided to work on adding Litecoin to Coinbase was because it was getting so much traction after the Segwit news and everything and the volumes on GDAX were just incredible and So I made a lot of sense financially to add Litecoin to Coinbase, so we did.

So in terms of another coin, one thing about Coinbase versus an exchange like Poloniex is that Coinbase is kind of more selective in terms of which coins it adds. It still hasn't added like ETC. So there would be coins that that Coinbase wouldn't add, but I don't think Decred would be on a list of coins Coinbase wouldn't add. But then it's more about user interest and volume, so when Decred gets high there in kind of top five coin or top ten then it will be more likely for Coinbase to add it.

So do you think GDAX is gonna be adding more coins coming here in the future? Do you think that's on their radar? Are they gonna try to be the more prestigious version of Poloniex or? They're definitely gonna add more coins, timeframe wise I don't know. Gotcha. Yeah. Well, that's cool.

Alright, so I know that Austin is anxious to talk more about lightning network so I'll let him take this next question then. Yeah we've slipped some lightning network questions in here and there So as far as ETA, when it's ready to use, you say it's already working, not a real nice user interface. In principle is it working well enough that if you had two coins with implementations of lightning that you could start doing cross-chain atomic swaps now? Not easily. I don't think that's- cross chain atomic swaps isn't high on the list of todo items for lighting network developers.

So I mean obviously they want to make sure the experience for one network Is good before they work on that right? I mean, it's a very cool idea and technology but you kind of really need both networks to be up and running and have good connections and But at least they're thinking about it and they're designing the code and everything to support multiple networks at the same time. You can run your Lightning Network daemon and you can specify which networks you want it to be running on. So if you specify Litecoin and Bitcoin and some other coins, then they can run the network on multiple coins and once you have nodes on multiple coins, then they can start advertising like exchange rates Right? Yeah. They can advertise I will trade Bitcoin for Litecoin at this exchange rate And then you have a network where you can see different nodes advertising exchange rates, and you can go through them to get to the other network.

But routing on one coin, one network is already hard enough. So I don't think anyone's thought about how they would do combined routing on multiple coins networks. So, it's very cool but yeah go ahead. Yeah so, I guess one of the questions we wanted to ask for was there are a lot of different applications of lightning network.

Yeah, so you can for example, there's the cross chain atomic swaps, of course you have real quick micropayments but wondering if you have any sort of Applications of the lightning network that you're really excited to see and if there any that are at the top of your list and just I know you don't devolve but if you do, approximate ETA's. I think with lightning network the most important thing is just payments, at least initially. So I haven't thought too much more than that. If we get payments, done well Where you can just go to online or go to a store and actually pay someone via lightning network and it will do the routing correctly and it will find you and It will kind of send the transaction instantly.

I think that's the most important thing. And the reason why I like lightning network, is just such a good kind of feature is because It's kind of layered on top of Litecoin or Bitcoin, it does instant payments, it's actually instant. There's no [charge backs], it's irreversible. It's based off of Bitcoin, crypto.

Lastly the fees will be lower and the fees will be, another thing is that the fees will be related to the amount you're sending, so right now bitcoin and Litecoin fees depends on the size of the transaction. And most people don't understand how that works. You can send 0.01 Bitcoin or you can send like- sorry let's say you send one bitcoin. Sometimes it can be a small transaction that's only 300 bytes, sometimes it could be a huge transaction because you're using multiple Inputs and as a user we don't Know how big of a transaction it is.

So the fees are hard to calculate so your wallet has to calculate it for you. And then you'd be surprised that people have posted on Twitter saying that I sent Like one Bitcoin it cost me like five bitcoin in fees. It's because the transaction is huge It's trying to like combine a thousand inputs. So fees based on transaction size is just confusing for users.

With lightning network the fees will be based on the amount because with Lightning network they're kind of the underlying limited resource is the amount and not the size and bytes for the transaction. So that will make payments more sane kind of yeah That's exciting We're just seeing that come along over the next few years or so. Okay so Do you think, well It's kind of going back to Litecoin again And I mean do you think that Litecoin is going to have a struggle scaling as it becomes more and more popular? So Litecoin already has four times the block size compared to Bitcoin and now that we have Segwit and lightning coming. I don't foresee Litecoin having any scaling issue in the near term.

I mean even if Litecoin is as popular as Bitcoin is today, It's still won't have issue because we have effectively 4MB block sizes. And if it does become a problem, then it's a good problem to have, that means Litecoin is like amazingly popular. But I think we are lucky enough to have Segwit and lightning network that we potentially may never need to scale on-chain. And all the scaling off-chain like lightning network and potentially future technologies is enough to keep all Litecoin on-chain transactions within the block size limit.

And if we do need to scale on-chain we'll do that. So and futurewise of litecoin specifically, where do you see Litecoin heading directionally? What's your vision for, I mean, do you want Litecoin to be more of a payment currency? Or do you want it to still be that kind of reserve hold of value or some mixture of both? My idea is that Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value currency and Litecoin could be the ultimate payments currency. So in terms of where I want to see Litecoin grow, is I guess two things. One is what we are doing right now with the Smart Crypto-Vault.

It's just adding more more smart contract, more programmability to Litecoin. So that it can be more useful for programmable money, potentially more useful for internet of things payments. The second area I want to see Litecoin grow is privacy. So one thing that I realized early on about Bitcoin is it's pretty much perfect money, except for one area, which is that It's not fungible.

So Bitcoins you receive all have a history and potentially that can affect whether not you can spend them in the future. So as an example, working at Coinbase, I've heard many stories where we shut down an account because someone sent their Bitcoins to a gambling site or use it to buy drugs. It's just because we know what they did with it, we can't service them anymore. And that's something that's not really good for money.

If you got two 20 dollar bills and you can't spend one of them not because it's counterfeit, but because it has a taint of some drugs on it. That's just that's just bad currency. So one thing I'll eventually adding to Litecoin or we'll work on adding to Litecoin is potentially something like confidential transactions and So that you can kind of hide the amount and with something like Coin Join or something similar like Tumblebit. You can also kind of hide the sender and recipient so we can potentially just make it much more private and fungible.

But that's still kind of far in the future. It's not this year or potentially even next year. Yeah, I think those are two of the- to me two of the biggest issues are governance obviously with the future being able to make decisions as a network but absolutely second after that is fungibility. Because this is going to become a big issue in the future, in my opinion.

So I think Bitcoin is going to need it, other projects as well. Yeah, and it's not just about like doing Illegal things. It's more about not telling people how much money you have. Right now if I got paid in Litecoin, someone paid me like $10,000 in Litecoin and I send that to buy coffee then the coffee shop now knows that I at least hold ten thousand dollars worth Litecoin.

Which is kind of silly right? And if I don't want them to know that, I had to manually do something to kind of hide the amount. Which is just hard for a normal person to use if you have to think about that. Yeah, like have a hot wallet, like a separate wallet that you probably you know let's say Decred. You bought some Decred off of an exchange and had it sent, some of it to another wallet, and then some to your main wallet.

Yeah, I mean most of [the] advanced Bitcoin, Litecoin users these days actively think about which coins they want to send where. All right, they have like a wallet that's- I mean if they buy from the exchange it they might buy a lot or they have savings that has a lot of coins. You don't want people to know how many coins you have so you have the I don't we decide how to manage that which is cumbersome. Yeah.

So you want Litecoin to be more of a merchant coin? So are you guys doing anything right now to handle getting more merchants on board to accept Litecoin? Not yet. At least right now, what's more important is to make sure that all the exchanges support Litecoin, so I mean Litecoin is probably one of the most supported exchange coins other than Bitcoin right now. So it's important to be able to buy and sell Litecoin with your local currency. And once Litecoin is exchangeable everywhere and lightning network works on Litecoin then I think we could start focusing on merchants.

Because even though Litecoin right now, fees are low and transactions are faster than Bitcoin. It's still not a compelling reason to use it as a payment method because people are so used to Visa and Visa just works. People don't have to worry about it. And right now, the reason why Bitcoin merchants kind of things hasn't really taken off is because it's just not better than Visa.

It's a worse user experience. So only people who actually have Bitcoin and want to kind of help make it more successful is using it. Normal everyday person has no reason to use Bitcoin to buy stuff. It's just true.

Using your your Visa card is much easier, at times can be a lot cheaper. Yeah. You always regret using Bitcoin to buy stuff. Oh, I know man.

I know like God that computer I bought or whatever at the time. You're like, God that things worth so much money. Yeah Yeah one of the features we added to Coinbase was whenever you spend Bitcoin, you can have an option to buy back your Bitcoin because you don't want to lose out on it. But then if you think about it, that's stupid.

You're sending Bitcoin, sending it to someone who converts it automatically to US dollars and then you're spending the US dollars to buy the Bitcoin back and you're paying fees on both sides. So why not just send them US dollars? Yeah. Well, I mean unless unless you're paying somebody like an individual for work or something I could see the value there. The reserve currency is still the US dollar, or whatever local currency you're using.

So until, maybe many years in the future where people will be pricing stuff in crypto then that will become mainstream, then we'll start using it more. Well that'll be interesting, the day that we're seeing Bitcoin prices in the stores. I mean, I just don't know how that would work since it's deflationary. I don't know.

They'd need digital price tags everywhere. So one of the future kind of questions about Litecoin, So do you guys plan on ever adding token type operations on top, like the ability, like with Ethereum, like counterparty had on Bitcoin and Mastercoin But I guess more integrated into the protocol directly. Like the ability to create tokens on top of Litecoin. Well like Omni, also known as Mastercoin has ported their stuff over to Litecoin.

And Tether is going to start supporting Litecoin. So that's cool. If you're that Counterparty or group of people working on deploying Counterparty on Litecoin. Also.

Then one thing we're doing like the Smart Crypto-Vault project adds more abilities with tokens. So we can start using- it will add the ability to create tokens on Litecoin natively. So we're exploring that also with Smart Crypto-Vault. Yeah, so this kind of segues into this topic but what are your opinions on the ICO craze and this huge Crypto bubble that seems to be forming around ICO's and tokens, just specifically on Ethereum? Are there any thoughts? Yeah So I Personally I haven't bought any ICO tokens, and I don't plan to.

I'm very wary of ICO's because most of them are money grabs because they see how easy it is to raise money with ICO. And I think the SEC will come down hard on ICO's because it's basically like an IPO without going through the normal regulation. So, and I think it's going to end badly. I think we're starting to see that with the current crash.

It's just that Ethereum price has been propped up so high with the ICO and with every new ICO people need to buy Ether and spend that to to buy the ICO tokens. So it's an inflated market and when the ICO companies start to sell the ethers, it's going to start crashing and then when Ether starts crashing all the other ICO's will see that. "Hey we better sell our Ethers right now, or else it might be not worth enough money for us." So I think we're starting to see that and that's why Ethereum is starting to crash. So yeah, I'm not a big fan of ICO's, most of them are scams.

Most of them have no reason to create a token. They just want the money. And yeah, most of the teams and ideas are not that good. It's just people have a lot of money to throw around.

So, yup. I think there are reasons for tokens, but a lot of the reasons that we're seeing now are just not great reasons. Yeah. And I think this ICO craze is, you know in some ways there's probably some good that'll come out of this because I think it will attract a lot of new investors into the main Currencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum.

Because in order to buy, well, I guess Ethereum you can buy on Coinbase now but in order to buy a lot of these other coins you need Bitcoin or you need Ethereum. You need to be in crypto to do it. So to me that's one of the the better benefits of this whole sort of thing but yeah I'm not really a big fan of the scams. So they come for the ICO's but they stay because of Bitcoin.

Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I can see that. I mean because at the end of the day everybody's, I mean, what are they doing? They're going to trade their ICO coins to get back into Bitcoin, or Ethereum or whatever? So I don't know. So hopefully they just continue to pull more money in.

But I worry about a lot of the projects that are doing ICO's because I think some people could potentially end up in jail. I don't know. Outside of- Yeah. I hope not and and it seems to be attracting regulation in a bad way, but you know it is what it is.

Yeah, I mean we're Wild West right? Yeah definitely. So I guess speaking of scams, are there any projects in particular that you you know feel that might be scammy, maybe in the top 10 or top 20? You really worry that people are investing too heavily in there or speaking about too much. I don't know. You mean other than Decred? Well, you know Decred is in my opinion a pretty good project, and it's got good people buying it with good intentions.

Okay, so I mean other than the ICOs, I think most of the ICO's are scams. They may not be outright scams, but they potentially have a pretty weak team. They have a weak idea. They don't need a token.

They just realized that they can create a token, create a white paper that's full of jargons and create a pretty website, a good name and be able to like raise hundreds of millions of dollars. So in some sense most of them are scams, I mean there might be a few good ones, but it's really hard to tell. I think very few projects actually need the token. I haven't really looked a lot of them, I know Auger wouldn't work without the token, so you they would need it.

Actually, let me step away for a couple minutes. I have a package to pick up one second, okay? Talk among yourself. So, Austin So sorry we lost Charlie guys. Yeah, he'll be back.

So I guess we can talk a little bit about Scammy projects? Scammy projects. Yeah so, Austin do you have any opinions on scammy projects? Yeah, Ripple kind of makes me mad, a lot. Someone just told me, I didn't check, but I guess they recently went up what like 50 times in price? They shouldn't even be around. Oh good.

You're back. Which one? We were just talking about scammy projects, Ripple in particular, but Yeah so, Ripple Missing it's like first 35,000 blocks, I think or something. What about it? Riccardo told me this, but I believe it's missing it's first 30,000 blocks for some reason? I'm not sure if Ripple's blockchain actually works. So it's pretty centralized, it's controlled by nodes that they run themselves.

Actually don't take my word for it. I'm not sure I just hear rumours. I don't know for sure. And the coin is pre-mined, like a hundred billion coins were pre-mine, and supposedly they use it to- they give investors the coins and stuff.

So I don't really know what the reason is to have the XRP coins is. I wouldn't call them a scam. Yeah, and the market cap is huge. Yeah it's huge.

Because you have billions of coins held out of circulation. And you can what is left. So you just a few coins go up in value and then voila your whole market cap is billions. Yeah, I was thinking about putting up a coin where you have a trillion or a hundred trillion coins reserved.

And just have one coin on the market. You just distribute that one coin- On top of all the market cap charts. Yeah I mean, I think it's doing some interesting things, but I wouldn't, I personally don't want any Ripple. Actually I did hold some Ripple because they were giving it away for free five years ago.

Yeah, when it was closed source. Yeah, and I got some and I was sitting but in my Ripple account. It was worth like $10 for the longest time and recently it was worth a few thousand dollars, so I'm like okay I better check it again and cash it out. So I cashed it out into Bitcoin Speaking of more scammy projects, or not scammy projects but other projects.

Dash is similar in a lot of ways to Decred, what are your opinions on Dash? I think Dash, I don't really like Dash that much because to me it's a lot of marketing. The technology is not very strong. I mean the masternodes is a neat idea, but I don't think it works that well And it's privacy is overrated. Personally I haven't really looked too much into its privacy But I've read multiple accounts from trusted sources that their privacy is pretty much broken.

And I trust the people that talk about it. So personally, I haven't really looked into it that much. The library will be closed in 30 mins. What was that? So I don't hold any Dash myself, and I see no reason to.

Awesome. Yeah, sorry. I'm at the library It's closing soon. So this is how hardcore I am for all you Decred Assembly fans.

I made sure that I got optimal internet for this interview. Because I live out in the country, and I don't have formal internet at my house. So I have to use a hotspot, so this is for you guys out there. So I guess we've talked about some projects that you think are not necessarily the best or you know good investments or best technology.

So what are some of your favorite projects? Obviously Decred, but I know you are also a supporter of Monero and I. Think Ethereum Classic? I'm not sure maybe you could mentioned some of the ones that you do like? Yeah so, So when Ethereum hard forked, I was very against the hard work. Yeah, because I felt like it went against my principle where I mean Ethereum was supposed to be kind of like unbreakable code, that code is law, where nobody can kind of overruled the code. But in a sense they did, they decided that the theft was not good and they took it back.

That kind of- it's a bad precedent to set. So right now if a huge ICO, there's a flaw in the code and, the ICO had like 200-300 million dollars and gets stolen. Do we do another hard fork or if not why not? And yeah so I didn't like the fact that they did that and I think I. Read about it, but I think that has led to the recent ICO craze because people put money in the DAO and they got their money back.

So it's kind of like- and that money actually went up like 20 fold. So you actually now have 20 times that money to play around with because it's like money that you expected to have lost but you got it back. Now you can just invest in all these ICO's. So there's so much dumb money out there, being thrown around.

And it has caused this huge bubble of ICO's which is bad. So yeah, so I mean I support Ethereum Classic to a certain degree. I still think a Ethereum is going to be, it's almost impossible for Classic to overtake Ethereum. But I thought Ethereum was kind of in a bubble recently.

So the crash was kind of expected from my point of view. I like Monero, so I like the development team, I like FluffyPony. And it's trying to do privacy right. So I like where they're going with that.

And if you withdraw Monero from an exchange. You really feel that it's private. You can send that transaction to someone else and they couldn't figure out how much you actually withdrew from the exchange, which is pretty cool. What else do I like? I like Bitcoin, and I like Litecoin.

That's about it. I haven't spent too much time on other projects. It's just hard to kind of tell the difference between what's good, and what's not good because there's just so much out there. And I just don't have time to investigate.

And the other thing I think is there's only so many really pressing problems at the moment. Yeah So, I mean a lot of these other coins Bitcoin, Litecoin, Decred, Monero, a lot of them can do a lot of the basic things that what everybody wants them to do. You know Ethereum with its smart contracting systems, Ethereum Classic. But at the same time like with Ethereum, I feel like it's a solution looking for a problem.

There's really not a lot of need for these applications to run completely decentralized because your main reason for starting a coin on our token, on their network is you want to build it so that one day if the government comes cracking down the company's door that built the project, the project itself can still run on its own. So I think they have certain use cases for it, but- Yeah, I totally agree. I think people don't realize that decentralization comes at a cost. It's always more efficient to have a centralized product.

So people want Bitcoin to compete with Visa, but it can't right? A centralized Visa only has to run one server that handles whatever millions of transactions per second. Whereas Bitcoin, if you want it to be decentralizing you have like 10,000+ nodes each having to be the same work, to calculate and make sure the transaction is good, and to store it. So it's at least 10,000 times more inefficient than Visa. And the same thing with Ethereum, if you have a decentralized app then everything you do with the app needs to be run on however many thousand nodes.

So what kind of apps really need that kind of decentralization? Most don'. I see a future where let's say Google and Amazon is running a centralized app service, where like financial apps or whatnot, where you can rent it and you just have to trust Google and Amazon and most people trust them, for most of the apps you do. And if you really need a decentralized app, for example you can argue that Auger or something like that, You need a decentralized way of doing online betting, so it can't be shut down by the government and/or places that are illegal. So potentially you need that and then it's worth paying for that.

You have to pay a lot more than a centralized version of it. And because people need a decentralized version, they're willing to pay more and that's fine. Just like Bitcoin, you want decentralized money where governments can't print more and you can't get censored and you pay more for that. And that's the same thing with Ether, I think.

Yeah, I totally agree. So well I think we're getting pretty late into this interview. We've got like 40 minutes or an hour and 40 minutes deep. I kind of don't really have any real big pressing questions.

Austin, do you have anything? No, I answered all of mine. Yeah it's really great to have you on. Thanks for coming on the show. Sure.

Is there anything you want to say or before you're done with the interview or anything you want to tell Litecoin, Decred supporters, Monero people watching, everybody that's [watching]? I would say that I wish to see less fighting between the different projects and the different parties. I mean, we're all in this together. We all want this to change the world. So there's no reason to have so much animosity against each other.

So love and peace. Yeah, and I totally agree with that. And I'm so happy that you're a part of the Decred community because I hope that we can bridge a good connection with the Litecoin community and Instead, you know I feel like the vision of a Bitcoin was to replace the status quo, the banking, this whole idea of money and we have so much animosity towards the each other's projects that are all trying to accomplish the same type of goals. And I really hope that our community and other communities like even the Monero community.

We had had Riccardo on, in our last episode. We can all work together and not be somewhat like so against each other and even Bitcoin. I think there's a lot to be said about that. Just moving towards the direction of let's replace this old dated technology and this control over money in a way that makes sense for the entire world instead of fighting with each other constantly.

So I remember your periscope you did about the hugging somebody, a random person that day I thought that was really awesome. I think w need to have like a crypto community hug day where people say a nice thing about a fellow project and things they appreciate on Twitter I don't know. I think that'd be- You should see the responses I got on Twitter for that. Some people were saying Charlie did you just discover weed today? That's awesome.

A final thought, I think that the future is that a lot of these cryptocurrencies will be connected via lightning network or some other way where for the average user, you don't really care what currency you're using. You could hold Bitcoin and send to someone who is expecting Litecoin. Get converted on a fly or you can be holding Litecoin and you want to power a decentralized app on the Ethereum network, and you just send Litecoin and the lightning network will convert it to Ether and power that application. So it will all be kind of interconnected, It will be very cool.

And the UI will be easy. You wouldn't have to know what's going on. Similarly like today if you're watching Netflix or something, you don't care if the bits come to you via tcp/ip or some other network approach or udp or something else. You just care that the it's playing video.

Someone else behind the scene is making everything work out well for you. And that's the same thing that's happen with cryptocurrencies. Right now we're just in the early stages where there's all these protocols, we don't know how they interact and we're just figuring it out. And similarly, right now if you think of Ether, a lot people compare that to gas or like gasoline.

A lot of people hold Ether right now but it's not really a good store value or even for payments and people don't hold barrels of gasoline, oil in their house. When your car is out of fuel you just go to a gas station and just refuel your car. I think the same thing would happen if you need Ether in the future you can just easily swap between Ether and whatever currency you're holding whether it's Litecoin, Bitcoin, Decred, or anything else. And you don't need to hold it if you don't need it.

Yeah, yeah And I think about what does scalability look like with lightning network and interoperability between all these chains. Because now you have multiple block chains to close out transactions. It's like, hey send it to me in Bitcoin." It's like, well it'd be cheaper if I sent it to you in Decred. Okay send it to me in Decred, but with the lightning network you could still send it via Bitcoin and then you just have this other store of value.

To me that's where scalability is, is interoperability between blockchains Mm-Hmm, the different coins work together to help the whole network scale, to just all the users needs. Yeah, so All right, well I want to thank all the people out there. We have 318 watching right now. This is definitely our most popular episode.

I want to thank Charlie Lee for coming on. I wan to thank Austin for being on the episode too. You guys are awesome. Thank you for coming on the show and turning this channel also into a troll box.

That's really cool. So yeah, if you guys liked the episode please like, hit the thumbs up, pound that like button like Adam Meister says. And tweet it, share with all your friends that this is a really great episode of Decred and check out Decred. It's a really cool project.

We have governance built into the blockchain. We have some awesome developers. To me that's the most important part. And we have a DAO coming.

Our own development subsidy that everybody is going to be able to participate in and help fund via your voting mechanism. So we have a lot of cool stuff coming. And we'll be able to see the project evolve and we're trying to play nice with most of the other projects like LItecoin and Monero. And we want to kind of bring this cryptocurrency community together instead of pulling it apart.

So thank you again Charlie for coming on the show. Thank you. We'll see you guys later. Have a good one..

Hello everyone this is adam meister the
bitcoinmeister the disrupt meister welcome to today in bitcoin today is
August the 31st 2017 be in motion be proud of success buy and hold hey check
out crypto HW wallet calm below you can get a leather case for your treasure or
you can get a trace or all that good stuff always check out the nose section
below but I want to jump right into it today because you don't see him right
now but in one second you're gonna see our very special guest today one of the
biggest names in all cryptic irsie he doesn't he I couldn't give him justice
to give him an introduction he is beyond cryptocurrency it is the legendary
Charlie Lee of litecoin fame how you doing charlie how's it going at them
dude I am so happy to have you on here today and people are really enthusiastic
people ask me they ask me all the time about like point Adam what do you think
about like coin what this that and the other so instead of me saying what I
think about my coin I'm gonna let you talk give us some updates about like
coin but first of all it can't be ignored that bitcoin is jumping around
an all-time high now and litecoin in terms of US dollars is now at a light is
at an all-time high I believe but in terms of Bitcoin it's not at an all-time
high so tell me what you think about that about the all-time high or is it
really added all-time I do you consider litecoin an all-time high now I do I
think for me all-time high is measuring in terms of in terms of US dollar
because it's what it's a reserve currency right that's what people use
every day so what matters is how much they invested with dollar and how much
yeah it's worth right now so in terms of it in terms of relate to Bitcoin yeah
it's not at the Bitcoin all-time high but that doesn't really mean much when
it's a Bitcoin all-time high but not at the US dollar all-time high okay
yeah I can see your point definitely it is something to be happy about but I I
bring it up because I all say value your all coins in terms of
Bitcoin because you're comparing like what would be better had I held litecoin
this whole time or had I heard hell Bitcoin this whole time and I know
you're a holder of Bitcoin to I don't want to you know characterize you as
something you're not there so uh yeah I. Mean if you if you're only like
speculating on all points with your Bitcoin then all you care about is if it
made more bitcoins for you a lot of people me included use think of it
separately right well I'm putting a certain amount of dollar in Bitcoin and
putting certain amount of dollar in litecoin and like specifically using my
Bitcoin to buy like coin and vice versa way okay this is an excellent point
because well you know my show I'm always on like buy a whole big one I'm old
become but and the plenty of people buying and holding a right coin it is
the silver to bitcoins gold and with that line I want to say pound that like
button people if you're pumped and enthused about that and you're still
you're sticking with that a theory there that it is the silver to bitcoins goal
yep it definitely is it's what if they work
along they work together very well so I. Like your t-shirt oh yeah I wore it on
purpose because you know it's it's all about you today
by the way you see one of the things on my t-shirt it's and people cryptic
cryptography tea you can get this t-shirt below he's got a discount check
out the link section below for all that good stuff but one of the names on here
is deke red and I was gonna bring this up later with I think we first you've
been on the show now three times it's your third time on the show I think the
first time it was we talked a lot about deke red because you you mentioned it
you thought it was very interesting so what is it still interesting to you
there's so many you know all these I. SEOs and stuff coming up we forget about
the altcoins sometimes so sorry yes tell us about yeah I mean I'm still very
excited about where Dee credits heading and the credit is kind of like it's kind
of like like one where they just work hard in the background and you know hear
a lot of like buzz about it and not trying to like pump the coin but it
so it's a good like long-term investment I think it'll do well long-term it's
it's doing something different trying to trying to make a case for for
governments on governance on chain you know it's funny with D credit seems like
that's the the altcoin that the you know you know there's certain hipsters that
like they like to shout out the names of bands and aren't very well known yet it
seems like in the cryptocurrency space that a lot of people they bring up D
cred and you know it's it's like for those in the know if you're in the know
you bring up I mean III the guys are there have been nice and obviously it's
on my t-shirt so I'm not a big alt calling guy as everyone knows but that
one is in my that is in my top tier of all coins in a lot of it has to do with
you and just you know you have some confidence in in every and everything
and you're one of the most honest dudes and although cryptocurrency and people
respect you a lot so I want to say when we're talking about the silver to the
bitcoins gold there's another coin out there
known as aetherium and a lot of people put that number two on their list a lot
of people put that number one on their list actually and assyrians big claim to
fame right now people are building icos on it it's it's the ICO coin it was
suggested to me actually I think it was by sign and Dixon that why not uh you
know they're gonna be other coins they're gonna be able to be used for
these I CEOs maybe like coin so are there plans to make litecoin more ICO a
bowl I guess um you're basically saying being but it released tokens on top of
yes yes so Bitcoin was the original coin debt people were able to release tokens
on right via Omni or master coin and and what's that or what kind of party
earning okay yeah they're kind of bulky though yeah I mean they're not bulking
they're they're harder to use because for well for one thing it's it's not
natively up on unchanged daddy yet down on different client and there
is because these are high so it costs a lot of money to create these tokens so
yeah so like Omni is releasing a client for like coin very soon where they will
start using Tedder on litecoin so you can use on the unlike coin to create
tokens another thing we're looking to is is the smart crypto vault soft fork
which would add more smart contract capable capabilities to like coin and
we're also looking at this this other thing proposed by Johnson now which is
adding color coin capabilities on chain for like coin so that's something that
we're also exploring so I think in the future like Ron will have it'll be a lot
easier to create tokens on like coil also similar to how people are doing out
there excellent that is a you heard it here people that is very interesting
news uh yeah I am NOT a big fan of counterparty I mean I experimented with
it a couple times and it was just I had I guess it Balki's the word I use it was
just clunky I guess but but you know we're early on in all this
cryptocurrency stuff things will get easier our interfaces are are not the
best so when we're talking about a light coin I guess developments here at one
point we had talked about in an anonymous layer for light point is there
any making it more Manero like is that still in the works or people think about
that still it's still in the works um it's always something that I want to do
which is add privacy or fungibility to your light coin so something like
confidential transactions would be is something that we're looking to you know
take some time before we before it's ready to act you like coin but it's
definitely something I'm really looking forward to okay that's good to know any
other important updates you want to tell us about light point before we kind of
get into some other topics here about there's a lot of news going on recently
I've been working on getting lightning Network working properly on litecoin
main that so I've been testing lightning labs lnd with Jeff molars zap UI
I got that working but waiting for some other people to actually start testing
some Lightning Network payments and stuff so that's really exciting
now I've got a question cross-chain atomic swamps
it sounds complex can you explain that to us people are excited that litecoin
will happen have this ability okay so let me try to explain this terminology
right cross Gianna Tommy's swamp what does that mean cross-chain just means
it's between two different chains right atomic swap means it's done atomically
by atomically it's a computer science term which means it's done either the
Swamper happens or it doesn't there's no like I give you Bitcoin and I don't
receive like coin on and so the swaps have to us both happen but at the same
time so that's what it means my atomic swap so this is talking about via like
lightning networks so if I if I send I.

Can send Bitcoin via lining network to a
load that will convert to like coin instead like coin to the receiver so
this way the node that is doing the swapping either it does the swap or it
doesn't so there there's no like that node cannot steal either Bitcoin or like
coin from you so this is this is what basically what that term means so yeah
this is a very cool thing but what is what does it solve what is what is the
point of it I think it's I think it's awesome but what what are we getting at
because people keep on bringing up like it's so yeah forgetting that is the
feature I envision is we were able to convert easily between any of these
cryptocurrencies so if a merchant accepts like coin but not put a coin or
vice versa and you only have the other type of coin you can send it to them and
atomically swap to the coin that they want we thought like we thought you need
any worry too much about what the exchange rate is what like all the other
details right so you just send Bitcoin it will swap the like coin and then
receive every life and also like one example I like to use
is people use ether to power the center of decentralized applications but there
is no reason why you need to hold efer for store value so you can convert from
Bitcoin or like crime to ether on the fly as needed the example I give is it's
in real life today you don't have barrels of gasoline in your house for
for your car keys you just buy gasoline with your US dollar when you need to use
it so same thing if people think that if there is like oil to bitcoins gold then
you don't need to hold oil you mean you don't need to speculate on the price of
oil to be able to drive a car excellent excellent explanation I hope
people get that because you know we toss around a lot of complex terms here and a
lot of people there are a lot of newbies to this base and I don't expect people
who know what that means by the way pound that like button we have like
close to 500 vite live viewers right now people are pumped for you but yeah we
have a lot of newbies we have a lot of people wanting to learn things what have
you been inundated by and amazed like I. Have these last three or four months by
just how many new people seem to be in the space I mean it is a positive thing
but it can be very overwhelming and kind of frustrating in the sense to when
you're getting it people seems to be confusing some people can't send a
Bitcoin transaction but they're buying I. SEOs mm-hmm I mean this is the space
where everything yours there's a huge like pump if you and rise in coin prices
and when that happens mainstream media starts reporting about it
people just get really excited and they buy the coins and they got getting
teenis they get into cryptocurrency I made a
tweet yesterday saying a meme saying like coin is an all-time high and like
like give me give me your Bitcoin or like show me your you're a Bitcoin
basically like at the all-time high people just everyone hears about it and
people are just buying through it right yeah so but it's cool and all but
the downside is that we've seen it many times where after the whole time hi it's
gonna make go into a state where the price could drop like 80 90 percent and
sadly the people a lot of people got in at the high price and they would have to
go bear through the bear market before it comes back so I mean I think it might
happen again so be careful it can leave a bad taste in a person's mouth when
they they buy at an all-time high and then they have to wait a very long time
and they they drop their coin I mean you're kind of making some references to
the 2014 time period early 20 I mean like coin hit a $50 high at one point a
long time ago now and it went down to like three bucks or two bucks or
whatever if even a lot of people had enough of it said it was dead this that
the other but over time long-term thinkers I think
long term like pointers are pretty happy now I don't wanna I don't want to put
you don't want to get any price predictions out of you that's not what
this is about but you you mentioned newbies buying things at all-time highs
and let's talk about newbies buying coins kind of blindly there are people
buying B cash that cannot be denied people are buying B cash you have come
in at a lot don't be cash on Twitter and by the way I link to Charlie's Twitter
below go please you know follow him on there he's quite entertaining
he sends a lot of information out in one of your tweets you mentioned be cash or
we up to you many times you've mentioned be cash but you said that it might fork
actually that they're gonna they might have enough problems that in my for can
you elaborate on that or do you know what I'm talking about there yeah um so
be cash for it away from Bitcoin with the same mining out girl
uh so sha-256 fee so what that means is it's competing with Bitcoin for miners
so being proper driven miners will should only mine the coin if its
profitable right it would mine the coin when it's profitable and when it when
difficult changes and becomes unprofitable they
will leave and this kind of cycle has caused big caches chain to come to kind
of a halt or really slow down where blocks are found every like few hours um
and then be caches difficulty algorithms specifically changing algorithm would
would kick in the emergency difficulty kick in and reduce the difficulty and
sometimes that would overshoot and made it a lot more profitable to mind be cash
and then every other miners were jumping in mine again so this like this thing
could just happen and it's also if it if we're lucky and it gets into a stable
state any price a pump or dump on B cash price could cause us to happen again
it could cost me what do you jump back in or just on all abandon it um and I
think the only we can fix it is to fix the mining algorithm or fix the
difficulty changing algorithm and that would require a hard fork so that's my
prediction that eventually they would have to hard fork now that slowly I mean
not necessarily split into two different points but they would have to do a hard
for it and get everyone to update their software in order to fix this problem
but what we were seeing today is that there there is one of a few miners that
are mining purposely mining B cash at a loss well not only lost but at a they're
leaving money on the table they could be mining bitcoins instead
they're making more money but they're mining be cash making less but keeping
the difficulty keeping blocks happening keeping the difficulty stable and
they're doing that I'm not exactly sure why they would be doing that but I think
they support be cash and don't want to see a die I mean is it there's collusion
going on basically miner collusion that's going on I mean um I think that's
yeah I mean I mentioned previously the way the mining works for B cash is it it
basically incentivize cartels right incentivize either mining cartels that
would kind of squeeze as much money out of B cash as possible or cartels that
would try to keep it afloat but losing money so yeah
there's something going on all right there's a question from the audience
here someone sent a super chat donation so that was very nice so I'm gonna read
off what they had to say charlie litecoin and deke read plan to announce
lightening network on may net together well being decentralized currency
there's no like we're not making deals with that a coin to people like to
announce um partnership I mean recently did you hear about the a theorem new is
making a deal with a bank which is kind of weird for it essentially its currency
but we're not planning to do anything like that it will happen I mean we'll
work with all these we work for Bitcoin the credit Burke or whatever whoever has
lightning networks will work with them to get something working you make a very
good point about decentralization I mean what do you think about how again I'm
going back to the newbies but it seems like people don't care about the
centralization as much as they used to in terms of at least buying coins I mean
there's a lot of coins that are clearly not very decentralized be cash but
people are buying them what do you mean is this a lost art or is this just gonna
be forgotten is it not important anymore yeah I mean the speculators will buy
whatever they think will go up make it make more money off of it right there's
always going to be speculation and speculation is not bad in and of itself
I mean it greases the market so but yeah just I'd be careful write some coin
don't like don't be don't be left holding the bag well I'm gonna let's
move on to some uh some new developments here you heard about the GPU mining coin
people call it Bitcoin gold it's going to be a fork off of off of Bitcoin I'm
calling it be gold what do you think about that in terms of the the GPU
mining does that make it more decentralized if it ends up existing um
well a lot of coins are mined by GQ. Right
theorem is my my GPU GPU mining basic mining tends to centralize the mining or
at least a mining hardware maker I think over time it will be more decentralized
as the chips get us smaller and more commoditized but initially at least it
centralizes the mining as we've seen with bitcoin and litecoin so GPU yeah
definitely will be more decentralized where anyone can buy a GPU and run it in
mind a coin but like there's really no reason to fork Bitcoin again like you
guys did other than like a kind of a cash grab right because if you there's
tons of other GPU my noble coins already well that's that's what I'm I call them
Bitcoin well crypto dividends they're just it's it's a way for the holders of
Bitcoin to be rewarded so I report on them when I hear about
them but I mean I think the btg people the bit the big old people and again you
you heard about this before I even talked about it I'm pretty sure because
you're in the oh they're they're doing a friend it's a friendly fork and it's
only fork the only thing I like about it is they're doing them and I seal on top
of that right they're mining a lot of coins and basically selling them
basically it's it's it's a way to make money it's a way to make money off of
speculation I'm not I don't support it I.

Think like in 2013 it was the year of
the all coins right people just create all coins left and right and speculator
speculate them and make some money and people make a lot of money 2017 is all
about I see owes and some say I think you might have mentioned it
mm hmm this is all about Forks right like dividend or whatever you call it so
it's it's speculators making speculating that something will be worth something
and making money off of it yeah I agree that the crypto dividend trend is is
just getting started but I think one of the positives and is that if this
they really get their GPU coin out there before 2x does the 2x gets their coin
out there it's gonna neuter the people are worried about 2x are you worried
about 2x a little bit 2x is very contentious and it's gonna it's gonna
hurt they coined more than mortgage because did because be cash is more like
a small community of Bitcoin split off in its own coin well that's 2 X it could
potentially be like liners in some exchanges and Merchants processors split
off and then you have like a lot of users and then some exchanges and the
few miners wanted to stick with the original coin and all the developers are
staying with the original coin so it's it's actually like splitting the
community you know in a really bad way it's it's very you some people are gonna
stick with the agreement despite that you know it's just written on paper
people can do whatever they want to do and that I mean a lot of people are
speculating that maybe they you just signed it so this Segway could get
implemented and probably need to get Segway implemented but some people are a
lot of a lot of people are sticking to their word which is good alright can't
fault them too much for that yeah and from my point of view like the
agreement is pretty much null and void because of be cash right some miners
already start I mean the whole point of agreement is that you all stick together
but if some miners are gonna start milking another coin and like dividing
the community and start mining be cash and then can the community area split
off then the agreement kind of falls falls falls down right there's no
there's no agreement anymore I agree man pushing that today we'll even divide a
community even more so it's not gonna do any good okay okay III agree with that
that it is null and void based on on that interpretation of
Evelyn Oh his phone's ringing that's nice that's
mine no everyone knows Charlie's ring right now pound that like button 613
live viewers 613 that's how many Commandments there are you know people
think I'm a mess actually 613 yeah that sucks
Wow the phone rang right then when we were talked about 613 uh-oh get get
worried people that muscle numbers and say they have something to do with the
crazy thing you ever heard by the way someone saw I believe people giving uh
they want to ask you questions here there's one a two dollar guy charlie we
plan to add light point to our BT and soon okay that's that's good news
what's ATM I guess point color regime should they be called LTM yes well I
guess they're going with that a brand name there be you knows when I was in
Hong Kong I I met a guy that said hey how can I get them the litecoin type of
Bitcoin well that's cool to hear that more like there's gonna be more like
coin ATMs out there that I actually haven't seen one in a while yet so I'll
be very proud to to see a like one ATM. One day okay
Paul out in San Francisco I know and Paul has a question he's and again thank
you everyone for these uh these are super chats
what kind of scenarios messiness can Charlie imagine if real replay
protection isn't put into segments to s so basically what happened with if
they're in classic would happen with Bitcoin where exchanges would could
potentially lose money they would stop all withdrawals and implement replay
protection and replay protection would be even harder on Bitcoin because the
theorem you can do a contract with Bitcoin you would have to use newly mind
blocks and kind of pink your coins to protect
yourself a replay from replay so it's gonna be a mess it's gonna be hard it's
gonna be confusing it's already confusing enough when you accidentally
send Bitcoin to a be cash address or vice versa it's gonna be really really
confusing and Bitcoin unlike ether which is really not use much outside of like
trading speculating Bitcoin is actually really used by merchants and it's it's
used and that's why the blockchain at school is because it's really used and
so that's gonna be really confusing I I. Don't really want to see that happen now
of course nine again it goes back to my point though we've already had this be
cash crypto dividend now we're gonna have a 2x1 we're gonna have a big old
one in some way isn't there a psychological change here where this
shouldn't be as scary that it is just a way for holders to get mortals free
money and if it's if it's like be cash or be gold where they kind of split off
clearly then it's just a dividend right but if it's big its Segway to X where
they're the they basically want to take they want to take Bitcoin in that
direction and basically drag everyone else along
and a lot of people don't want to be dragged along in that direction so
that's gonna cause a lot of problems with people like you're basically saying
they want the Bitcoin name they want the Bitcoin game they're gonna say they're
the real Bitcoin but we're still have be cashing that that they're the real
Bitcoin yeah but they're they're gonna like they're doing this fork and they're
forcing like forcing everyone to come along because they're they're assuming
they have the hash power they're gonna use all the hash power is going to to
mine this Segway to X coin and whoever wants to stay in the original chain
would be left with very little hash power so that's that's gonna hurt
so the original change the original chain might have to switch
up switch proof-of-work or something to stay alive but we'll see what happens
I don't think all the hatchery is gonna move over to the b2x coin but that's why
it's it's so it's so messy and the amazing thing is the Bitcoin price is
still goes up the honey badger doesn't care I mean well that's the thing I tell
people that are in our space here I. Think we're in a very small bubble to
take a step back and try to analyze all the people that are into Bitcoin now and
how many really even know all this is going on and because so few people know
that it's going on I think it's not as big as we in the little bubble make it
out to be because if the price is still good I mean the price is a reflection of
the market the price means something it means something and people the general
market is not as worried as I'm not saying you're worried but you're giving
a hesitant uh concerned you're concerned about this hello Bette yeah I think I
think Bitcoin will be fine I mean the price shows that people
people believe will be fine just like the the USS whole Segway thing
right it came out fine yeah yeah that's the way I see it too I think we get
through it there's a day after tomorrow November might there's gonna be some
nobody issues probably but I'm just just today after pull release a statement
saying there they're backing away from the secretary X agreement I think more
and more pools and companies will see that there's really no need to push for
this this controversial show of fork-like seg we just activated a lot of
wallets are adding support for it people are paying very little fees now they're
using summary transactions and realize okay you can pay like half the fee I
think over time over the next year the blocks will increase to about two
megabytes and it'll be fine for now and then we can think about how to do a safe
hard for I don't think any of the Bitcoin developers are against a hard
fork they just they're against doing it when it's not needed when there's a
solution like segment that does everything including increasing block
size for a very little risk so there's no reason you push for a risky hard for
but I think we'll plan for a a safe hard fourth in a year or even two depending
on how much time we have so doing something like you know in the next two
months it's just it's stupid do you think that the market the people the
community of Bitcoin I mean you're on Twitter every day I think you get a
taste that most people are not fans of this possible crypto debiting 2x hard
pork whatever you want to call it they have a bad taste in their mouth do you
think the people if they keep on making a big stink out of this and threatened
boycotts of these businesses that it can lessen the likelihood that this is even
gonna happen or if it's it's even gonna wreak havoc like a few people are
worried about yeah I think from my point of view I think the majority of the
people are against a hard fork especially one where the developers are
not on board so yeah I mean it's kind of stupid the developers have been doing
such a good job with the code and you're gonna have hard work away from them just
because some because of something that's stupid so I think a lot of people are on
the side of not doing the hard fork but from but I may also be in lay in a kind
of a bias like a bubble where I'm only hearing when I want to hear so it it's
hard for people to to see what's going on and change their mind because they
may say oh those are just passed from curtain thing maybe someone paid a
company to actually pretend to be a lot of users and be against the segment 2x
artwork so it's easy to convince yourself that you're right and for all I
know I'm convincing mice them right but I'm actually wrong so I
it's hard to you it's hard to be it's hard to change your mind right so we'll
see what happens yeah I say that all of us out here who
are hardcore sanguine people we we appreciate we appreciate that you're
speaking your voice you're putting it out there you are a respected person in
this space and when people hear you you don't hold back I mean you you you
just said what you said about what's going on and people appreciate that and
I think we there a lot of thought leaders out there that are on the same
page is you and you talk about astroturf thing it's see it seems like the other
side of the debate kind of plays into that or or buys that there's there's a
lot of weird fake accounts out there sometimes well I think it probably
affects both sides I don't I wouldn't say like one side is doing a lot more to
another but it's it's kind of what Satoshi and Bitcoin solve right which is
the Byzantine generals problem where but it doesn't really solve it fully because
hash trade is not everything from for my point of view it's basically ashrita is
a proxy of what people want but it's not it doesn't represent people falling in
and being a decentralized system it's just inefficient I mean bitcoin is
inefficient it wastes a lot of electricity to to achieve the this
consensus and make it censorship resistant right and likewise
the community is inefficient you can't easily come to an agreement or come to
consensus you have to fight and just bicker on Twitter and go through all
this problems to try to figure out like what consensus whether there is
consensus and that that comes with the territory I think it won't be the last
of it there there are gonna be future arguments that hey that's that's the
strength of Bitcoin does and we got a question out there does Charlie this is
from Paul again out in San Paul is awesome does Charlie think big exchanges
or wallets might be interested in running their own lightning network hubs
how does he see lightning Network growing and developing yeah I definitely
think that um exchanges our wallets will be hubs the Lightning Network I think
will be a bit will be more centralized than Bitcoin
you'll have you have the major hubs like coinbase I see as a big example of
someone that would run a Lightning network hub and people would use
coinbase and coinbase would send lightning over
transactions to other exchanges or whatever and coinbase being exchanged
will also run lightning network exchanges where it would be on running
my neighbor on top of bitcoin and litecoin and expose their exchange rate
whatever is the current exchange rate on G Dax
on the Lightning Network and people can atomically exchange make one for like
coin and vice versa via coinbase excellent shout ask the coin base hey I
kind of like bun people out there where this thing is just beautiful we're
getting toward the end though I want to say that you talked about you're not a
fan of the the forking of a big point for it to form these crypto Givaudan
have you heard anyone talk about in the rumor mill forking of litecoin and
forming their own crypto giving him that way um people I mean people I wanted to
fork like coin for a long time like when when Asics came out for like coin
there's like a coupon people or maybe even just one person who was really
against it and wanted to wanted to take like went back to its original route
circle and forked to a letter algorithm that is war ASIC Cooper at least doesn't
have a six-way right now like like coin X 11 so he friend to fork like when X 11
but that didn't happen I think forking of coins is always a
threat and a possibility it's basically how people express their displeasure of
what's going on currently like you can easily fork away and if you
have a large enough people behind you then you can become the dominant coin
right that's always a threat that will exist
and it's a kind of a stick to make sure that the current people in charge so to
speak is doing a good job well I want to say that
speaking of Forks again we had a question of a sentiment on the chat and
this is kind of deal you you talked about being be gold very briefly how
they're they're gonna be forking from a past a past block here's I have heard
that the Bitcoin Gold team is debating whether to fork from the same block
height as be cash or at a date in the future with a few weeks preparation what
do you think they should do I don't know what they should do to be honest I don't
really care that much but for me from the past like that brings up the it
creates a pre mind situation don't you I.

Mean don't you think the fourteen from
the present would be leave a better taste in people's mouth I guess does it
doesn't really matter I mean if you unless you're talking about protein from
like a long time ago like a year ago but this being from like a a month ago I
mean the people who own Bitcoin Danvers since joining now it's about the same
people I mean sure there will be people who
bought Bitcoin between then and now and they'll be upset that they don't have be
going a dividend but it's very small amount of people and I assume I think I
heard that they support Sigrid so it doesn't matter if they didn't support I
would they would have to vote from back then when segment hasn't activated yet
yeah they do from when I heard they also mentioned cross Atomics swab you know
that what we're talking about beforehand that they'd be able to do that with
litecoin cross chain Atomics I came in say him cross Kate atomic swaps
terminologies times mystery there's there's here we have two more questions
from the audience here yes ten ten dollars are whatever that is
Charlie do you think we should hold some be cash for November turbulence do you
see potential for any altcoin besides litecoin in your personal portfolio
which ones okay so I won't recommend what people should go there to not buy
but I can tell you what I hope I don't want any be cash currently I hold
Bitcoin litecoin Manero D cred and if they're in classic right now Wow all in
my top tier pound that like button Charlie has revealed that stuff before
people just love to hear that for some reason but it it reassures me that when
I hear about all these johnny-come-lately flavor of the month
all coins when you hear a guy like Charlie talk about the top the ones that
are clearly in the top tier in my head you know they're on my shirt or weight
or they or all the ones you mentioned yeah all the ones you mentioned are on
my shirt it's here in classic isn't on my shirt but alright here we got we have
another question though if you send Bitcoin from a point from coinbase to
bid tracks but you use your Bitcoin cash address is there a way to get your
Bitcoin back that you sent um why are people asking me this question because a
coin because you worked at coinbase at one time I believe send it from coinbase
to big trucks or vice versa if you set Bitcoin from point base to bit right
yeah if you sent if it's sent to big tribes Atlanta contacted tracks to say I
sent you the wrong coin please help me get it back if you whereas if you sent
coins from big trucks to corn base then you have to wait till coinbase actually
supports withdrawal of Bitcoin B - B. Cash Bitcoin cash and when they do you
should be able to enjoy those Bitcoin cash yeah everyone be real careful about
where you're sending you're I mean I I people still send the
etherium theorem to if you're in class I. Mean there's still all sorts of mistakes
when you're sending stuff the exchanges they are too fast
to correct the mistake and just pay real close attention on this ad you know
these crypt of dividends definitely add a new level of confusion and you gotta
be careful got to be careful where you're sending people stuff people and
again if you just hold instead of trying to flip this stuff and I mean trying to
buy all every altcoin on earth you know you'll be in your lessen your risk and
again control your private key that that's a we're talking about forking
from the past if you still have your you know your private key and everything for
the past your you're in good shape if you want some of these cryptic dividends
that might fork from the past okay well I think I think I cover just about
everything here and we've gotten the people's uh people's question it Charlie
is there anything you want to add to this side it's been great to have you on
the show yeah I love to you stop by Oregon done you've been trying to get me
on for a while now I've been always busy but yeah we we've tried we tried to
surprise there was one time Charlie came on in the middle of a show it was
totally surprised I tried to kind of arrange that that's really hard to
coordinate but you never know when you turn into the tune in to this channel
who might pop up in the middle of a regularly scheduled show
and speaking of regularly scheduled shows tomorrow 5:30 p.M. Is this week in
Bitcoin we got Ari Paul coming on Bitcoin Joe we've got Jorge from
Argentina it is going to be awesome 5:30 p.M.

Eastern Standard Time just too real
and again check out the notes section below check out Charlie's link is below
again that the floor is yours Charlie if you want to say anything now um to the
moon how crazy could this Bitcoin price be after the 2x drama is over I don't
know I mean I. I thought Bitcoin would do this why this
do well this year I did not think to myself I made it I think that I
couldn't reach like three thousand at five thousand that best-case scenario
and right now it's like forty seven hundred so it's almost to my best case
scenario and I did not expect to be honest I did not expect my twenty be at
$74 right now I thought initially that if we could get back to 30 and we're
like basically challenging the all-time high I would be extremely happy and it's
at $74 it's ridiculous I think it's another pump just be careful yeah question continues our yeah so I'm it's
weird when when the price suits up like that I get scared because I'm I'm
worried about people who like see the price jump up so much and they just like
mortgage their house and put all their money into the coin and basically those
are people died were just they're buying high and selling low and they would lose
a lot of money so yes a lot of people who already hold quota coins are making
money making Bank right now but there's also going to be a lot of people who are
gonna be buying at a high price so yeah you are you are definitely uh careful
and modest if you're in your predictions that's good we've got okay so let I do
want it someone sent two dollars and said thank you for the show that is
really nice here another percent will there be like coin US dollar wallet like
Bitcoin or coinbase this which remember Slee help merchants accept litecoin what
what's a question will there be light coin US dollar wallet like Bitcoin on
coinbase this would tremendously help merchants accept litecoin for currency
Oh like a basically instantly exchanged like coin into US dollar I'm not sure if
they're gonna do that I hope that when they did will actually support merchants
accepting like coin that would be helpful to okay I think that's
definitely buddies get I assume that is what that he is getting at Thank You
Jake fire so what do you what do you had a
famous reddit post people were unhappy about an appearance you made on
mainstream media because you Punk up litecoin I mean yeah and you're
just you're honest and again I get asked questions about people want like coin to
be like the second coming here I mean made they wanted to be a super superstar
they want me to say the most positive things about it yet we have the guy who
came up with it who has just takes it like a very conservative approach what
do you have to say to the people that think that you should be the the pump or
the marketer the the king of the world so I think like I think like coin and
Bitcoin they would just they would do well over time you don't need to you you
don't need a pump it the problem with pumping is you have
more volatility right yes it could go up like if I went on CNBC and basically
just said everyone should buy my coin it's awesome it's amazing
yes you'll get more people buying it but they won't be understanding what they're
buying yet there'll be a lot of pumping the price will shoot up but then I'll
crash in the end in a long term it won't help that much long term it's best for
for people to slowly learn about like coin and to kind of do invest in it
knowing what it is and slowly have it go up in price so no need to pump it
Charlie a long-term thinker Adam Meister a long-term think over thinker the
bitcoinmeister channel for long-term thinkers don't be impulsive people do
not be impulsive this is a lesson that you all should have learned from this
talk today so Charlie thank you very much for being on the show
670 live viewers pound that like button real right now spread the word about
this this has been a very informative video you don't get this kind of thing
anywhere else these unique topics so again thank you
very much charlie pound that like button everyone I'll say hello in the chat if I
can bye bye.

aberdeen times - BITCOIN HISTORY MADE! 10k LITECOIN $100!!!!!! LIVE!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

It happened it happened it happened it's
happening right now it's literally happening right now
I had to live streamis I was gonna make a video but I said screwed I'm gonna
just make this video and we're gonna talk about it so it's going crazy right
now litecoin is above $100 we have Bitcoin
above $10,000 like going above $100 this is history in the making guys right now
the high is litecoin got it I think you got even higher than that so I think
kind of like 101 so litecoin there it is above $100 this is madness and you can
see I'm up huge up17 I got a $17,000 $17,000 in my Exodus wall right now
please don't hack me if you're gonna hack me but you can see litecoin making
some major major moves right now and let's going up down but it broke it
broke a hundred and that's all that matters so
litecoin going crazy right now we got Bitcoin going crazy this is happening
it's live crypto currency trading whatever you want to call it the madness
is happening it's happening right now we'll see if we get a major pullback
here I might be a fool for not selling
they're above $100 but either way I'm happy I'm gonna hold this light coin I
got a I got about 120 light point total and I'm expecting this to keep on moving
higher but you can see getting above $100 they're pulling back
obviously we're getting to that mental area that $100 mental resistance we're
gonna get people taking profit people are going to take a profit they are
above $100 I'm not gonna try to time it I'm not gonna try to time the top here
just not gonna do it I'm gonna wait I'm gonna hold this baby for the next year
10 years whatever I need to hold it I. Think I'm gonna be a millionaire as long
as this keeps going up fingers crossed that this keeps going up I think one day
there's a good chance there's a good chance that I'm gonna be a millionaire
one day because of litecoin and I'm feel pretty confident in you know what the
research that I've done so far what I've learned about like going just the
overall future of like going but you can see like coin breaking over $100 there
we're holding there right around the hundred our area right now light coid
and you got Bitcoin up there above $10,000 look at this move here on on
Bitcoin just madness really madness tonight it's nine o'clock it's Tuesday I
haven't been I haven't been this excited about something in a long time and
definitely more and more than I trade this crypto currency stuff I really have
just kind of been thinking about quitting day trading the stock market in
general and just kind of trading cryptocurrencies and just sitting back
and watch my money grow every day it's not a bad way to live but you can see my
wallet just up and down right now obviously you got like goin jumping all
around there and big day big day for cryptocurrencies big day for for me
right now you know breaking over $100 mark litecoin we're balancing around 98
100 dollar area I'm pretty happy with that you can see earlier today we were
down there at the $93 area and we made a nice little move higher this G Dax
charts are not that great to be showing the price movement showing it with all
the action but you can see litecoin going crazy here getting the volume get
in the action look at the volume increasing volume increasing obviously
we're gonna get that sympathy play we're gonna get a lot of people that are being
chased this they're gonna be chasing litecoin with the idea like hey I want
to jump into that light coin now that bitcoins up over a thousand thousand
dollars and there it is like coin above $100 I can't even see the comments of
the live-streaming now I'm really screwing up give me one second here I'm
gonna just make this real quickly so I. Can you pull up the screen so I can see
what people are talking about here in the livestream hold on one second one
second don't go anywhere we're back we're gonna keep going alive
here talking about interest some questions here in the live stream I know
it's late nights 9 o'clock I don't even know Evans even watching this let me
pull this up here real quick and we're still here just moving this
around real quickly so I can pull up the the chat box see who's talking about
this here we go me pull this out real quick
pop this out alright digit it back back back and here we go we're live again
give me a second we pull this back up here and there we go hello all over the
place oh gosh now that's up there and we should be good now we're back
alright now so have the little chat box the Angels questions you guys any
questions want to learn more about uh what my plan is right here what's going
on there we go so we're back collapsing live yes Bob Riedel why you gonna call
it out for but yes so I if you guys have been watching the channel I've been
watching what I've been talking about here cryptocurrencies been making these
videos since about four weeks ago talking about how I was gonna get into
Bitcoin talking about how I was gonna get into litecoin some of my plans here
and you can see well there it is litecoin above 100 dollars a little
pullback or now that's fine I'm fine with that a little bit of a pullback but
the big day idea today was that Bitcoin up there above ten thousand dollars
really wild to see this now and yes I'm on the good I'm on the good internet
right now someone talking about that in the stream but amazing amazing to see
history in the making like coin above $100 and then Bitcoin
above $10,000 so a little bit of a pullback right now they're on like one
which is expected or any other people taking profit people taking profit above
that hundred dollar mark but it's just part of it part of it to see that profit
taken there I would probably a fool to not take profit there but that's fine
when I first started my cryptocurrency worldly advent whatever you call it when
I first started the journey of trading cryptocurrencies I started out literally
with about I think two twenty six hundred dollars total I put about three
or four thousand dollars more US dollars into that buying some more
cryptocurrencies but I've been really lucky the markets been insanely hot
recently I've basically been flipping coins been trading iOS which made like
almost a 60 70 % move bch Bitcoin cash be cash call it be cash all you want
because that thing is cashed out but be cash it was up a hundred percent at one
point traded that one traded some aetherium moves been having some crazy
50 60 percent moves on these little coins - coin also making some big moves
but I'm really happy to see a like coin above that hundred dollar mark history
in the making you see it's up eight percent right now beautiful really
beautiful they're amazing to see here so people it's always funny to read the
comments in the chat whoa what's going on everybody's leaving
the comments how much I start with how much money how much money should I put
in your first dock well it really depends what stock you're trying to buy
but uh there it is so I just wanted to make this little video I was gonna make
I was gonna record the video and then post it later but I thought hey I just
wanted to get that excitement out there and post this live right now for you
guys to see it's a history in the making if we call it that history in the making
Bitcoin over ten thousand dollars remember nobody in the right mind would
have ever told you that Bitcoin litecoin could have gotten at this point nobody
would have ever said hey bitcoins going above ten thousand dollars there this
wouldn't have happened nobody would have told you what did it would it have
happened it wouldn't have happened but there it is so litecoin making major
moves there Bitcoin make a major moves this year I think Bitcoin is up over a
thousand percent this year you got a light coin that's up over two thousand
percent this year some amazing moves in the cryptocurrency world right now
history made today Bitcoin above ten thousand litecoin above hundred dollars
and that's all it is so you can see oh man like coins pulling back here I don't
know if I maybe should start I should stop the stream right now in case it
starts crashing but there's a light going back down there ninety seven
dollars that's fine I'm holding this one I'm long I'm a long long litecoin I'll
be holding this one for a while so I'm not gonna worry about it if this thing
dips back down the $90 area I might buy some more not gonna uh not gonna worry
about that but really cool to see Bitcoin breaking out about ten dollars
no mark is five hundred thousand dollars really possible for Bitcoin I mean I
think I think it is here's the reason for this so the idea is obviously
there's 21 million total Bitcoin in the world that's like the maximum amount of
Bitcoin possible the thing is that's the s/m acts of mouse you got billions and
billions of people in the world so how many billions are in a million or how
many how many people how many billions of people can buy 21 million so thinking
about that think about how the demand can keep going up this is a scarcity
play better than gold I think this is better than gold for the idea that gold
keep mining gold every single day they keep mining gold mining gold getting
more and more gold out of the ground but to come is there come a point where
there is no longer any more bitcoiners no longer any more litecoin and that's
that's the point where it's gonna be a stop it's gonna be the maximum market
it's gonna be the maximum cap there on the supply of those coins so there it is it's Mattia where did i enter litecoin
so i first entered litecoin there it was like $56 about a bunch of $56 bought a
little bit more than $53 mostly in that $50 range so I'm in the $60 range and I
think I got a couple coins there at the seven dollar range but the big thing for
me was really kind of flipping so I was kind of jumping in the EOS coming into
the Bitcoin cast jumping in that light coin and then move us up around
exchanging exchanging selling and doing that so people asking where would I cash
out at I don't think I'm actually gonna ever cash out as long as this kind of
keeps this trend up really for me this is a long long term play I've never
really been this excited on something long-term
obviously there's stocks you know like the video stuff like that that I'm
holding long-term but when it comes to the future the OP the possible reward we
risk reward here on these I think that the reward is is too high to pass up I
don't want to be you know 10 years older in the future and sit back I'm like man
I cashed out of my light coin they're $200 and now it's that $10,000 because
there's a lot of people who set there and who bought Bitcoin you know and
people who bought people who bought Bitcoin when it was a blow hundred
dollars they sold it a hundred dollars it now it's up to ten thousand dollars
and they missed out on a lot of profit this is like I said when I first started
this this is literally just my disposable income this is money that I
might have taken to the casino and gambled with anyway so now I have it in
the cryptocurrency and I've been gaining money every single day gaining profit I
guess growing my money growing my money instead of this money singing instead of
my money sitting in a savings account and not growing you know I'm up over a
hundred percent my initial investment so I'm pretty happy with that and there it
is litecoin up there to a hundred dollars Bitcoin up there to
thousand dollars like I said I wasn't really planning on going alive right now
I see some of the people some of the locals in here talking what's going on
guys thanks for tuning in but I just wanted to make this whole trader I'm
already up over a hundred percent so I. Can cash out right now and let the let's
let all the money ride but it doesn't matter I don't really for seventeen
thousand dollars or whatever I have invested that's not life Cheney if I
lose seventeen thousand dollars it's not gonna change my life either way now if I
make a million dollars that might change my life in the future so I'll be fine
with that I'm gonna let it ride and let this party happen and it's buying five
hours realistic for return on Bitcoin is their money be made at a low of a
percentage so the big thing really think about here with Bitcoin with like when
all these things it's all fractional so if I put five hundred dollars in in the
stand it moves up you know three five percent in a day that's still five
percent return on my 500 ollars so if you get a hundred percent return on five
hundred dollars moving into the future that's I mean our doors made of five our
dollars maybe a thousand or whatever it is there is money made no matter how
much money you put into it there's still is money be made don't think about
Bitcoin as like hey it's ten thousand dollars it's way too expensive I can't
buy it there's no way I could buy this it's too expensive it's why would I buy
this it's not really any point it's not only the way to think about it think
about it more like hey you know I could just start investing slowly I told one
of my friends put a hundred dollars every single month put 100 single
dollars every single month into this consistently look for those gains
consistently invest and you can you know grow a little bit of money how it was
seventeen somebody has to be Bob how is 17 grand nothing when you take hundred
our profit on stock I guess trading stocks more often though Bob the stocks
that I trade are not stocks that I would hold for ten years these penny stocks I
would not hold these stocks for more than ten minutes so that's that's the
reason I take profit on the stock side trade litecoin there's a future there's
a revolution here there's a big big upside so that's why I mean that's why
I'm holding these some of these Sox talks like dpw I would not hold this
stock for ten years it just wouldn't do it because there's a good chance that
it's going to zero and besides it's not there litecoin you know
could it go 2-0 possibly could Bitcoin crash and go back to zero there is a
possibility obviously there's always a possibility but really what it comes
down to is kind of out kind of out weighing the risk reward here if I can
hold this for 10 years this goes to a million dollars that's an amazing game
I'm risking what ten thousand dollars really only about eight thousand dollars
risking eight thousand dollars for a million dollar return I mean I'll take
that investment every single day if I.

Can if somebody wants to make that deal
with me I will bet you $8,000 every single day if you give me the
opportunity to win a million dollars what's the maximum likelihood maximum
litecoin is 84 million so it's basically what it's basically four times the
amount of bitcoins so that's one of the reasons people talk about litecoin
should be one-fourth the value of Bitcoin so that's why I'm also very
bullish on the idea of light going because light point is very very similar
to Bitcoin but it's also much much faster I sent somebody $100 a big I sent
someone $100 with a light coin today they got it instantly I sent them $100
of Bitcoin it took almost two hours to get it there's no fees like coin has no
fees maybe there's like literally zero zero zero two fees but when you send
light coin around there's no fees normally it's very fast it's very simple
to use and that's why I love it how long does it take you to because it's it in
profitable trading that's not I've get the question a lot there's no secret
there's no answer of like hey if you trade for one year you'll be profitable
it's just a learning thing it's about experience about doing it every single
day learning the markets when I first started trading cryptocurrencies
I had no idea what I was doing the more time I spent trading cryptocurrencies
the more I learned about it and then I. Started making money that's not I got
really lucky also I'll give that disclaimer right now cryptocurrencies if
you would have bought cryptocurrency any time over the last 30 days if you would
have bought at any time over the last 30 days that would go huge so it really
depends and it depends on how obsessed you are I got really obsessed with
crippled currencies it's all I talk about it's all I do now I'm basically
researching figuring out what's going on the cryptocurrency world what I should
be doing differently what I should be learning and my girlfriend hates me for
she's actual mad that I'm on the computer right now
talking to you guys about this and instead of hanging out with her so I
might be done with this slide shape pretty soon but I wanted to make this
livestream basically to just get it out there for anybody who cares
litecoin going back up I feel a little bit better now feel a little bit scared
therefore not scared but I was little else like oh man I made this livestream
like coins pulling back it's gonna start crashing everyone's like oh you're an
idiot for not singing profit but it's back up there hundred dollars so I'm
happy with that we get if like one stays above ninety eight dollars I'm happy the
way if it pulls back to ninety dollars it doesn't really matter like I said I'm
holding this baby for a long time what's your top five recommending
cryptocurrencies top five recommended cryptocurrencies let me think about this
real quick number one also obviously for me don't this ah this is my opinion
don't don't go out and buy these coins right now just cuz I say but a light
coin obviously I think is one of the biggest upsides litecoin has huge upside
for the idea like I had to talked about like coin being fast it's simple - it's
fast there's less fees than Bitcoin and there's a lot of upside there the
founder of light coin Charlie Lee is still very very a part of the community
he's working every single day to make light coin better so that's one thing
that really like about like coin you got litecoin you got Bitcoin you got
aetherium you got - coin and you got iOS if you
look into the EOS coin I think iOS is probably the riskier of the coins but it
the reward is much higher do your research learn about iOS you'll see you
know there's a lot of people that call to ski and there's people that causes a
lot of upside so I bought us when it's a dollar 44 I cashed out last night when
it's a to $90 it was to 90 so dollar 44 sold it to 90 us worked out good for me
you can see my what I'm holding right now I'm holding Bitcoin I got some be 80
coin dat coin golem is literally just one of those I'm just holding 50 dollars
worth I put $50 worth of golem I'm up 100 percent right now on that actually
which is pretty funny so if you look at this check this baby out
no not like golem so I got it on golem beginning of the month November 6 I got
in there 53 dollars worth it's up there it was up a hundred dollars earlier so
it's almost doubled now and that's pretty funny the one the one Gamble coin
that I bought just to kind of hole holding gamble on is up 100% so that's
pretty funny to see but a golem there's a lot of coins out there's a lot of
stuff you can do research on but really kind of focus on the main top coins with
the largest market cap obviously the top like ten coins are they're gonna be the
ones that are a little bit safer a little bit funnier you know but so
definitely look into those if you're gonna be looking for Bitcoin - coin I
have a you know I like - coin as well but I think Bitcoin aetherium and
litecoin have bigger upside just because they're more mainstream right now light
coin obviously you can buy litecoin directly through coin base which really
helps all the people that are new to cryptocurrency the first thing they do
is they get a Crip they get a coin base account and what do they do they buy
like coin they buy aetherium they buy Bitcoin and I think a lot of people buy
light coin because it's cheap you can buy one coin for $100 so it's like hey
they want to be they want to feel like they bought one coin although it doesn't
really matter because it's all fractional you can buy you know $100
with a Bitcoin it doesn't really matter but at the end of the day they want to
feel like they're a part of it so they want to buy one coin so they end up
buying one light coin I think it's pretty cool either way cuz you're like
hey I got one light coin where if you buy her torso the Bitcoin you got like
point zero zero or whatever it is so that's one of the reasons I think like
one has a bigger potential right now you get a lot of people that are coming into
the crypto space world and they're gonna end up buying a light coin because it is
cheap you know in a sense that you can buy one coin for a hundred dollars and
that's kind of like hey I can buy one light coin I can feel cool because I own
one coin instead of owning Bitcoin which I only get point zero zero three or
whatever it is so those are my top picks right now like I said I'm not a crypto
adviser an investor guru by any means so take these uh take this advice with a
grain of salt do your own research learn about cryptocurrencies figure out the
best way to buy to sell all that fun stuff and that's kind of where I'm at
right now so there oh I kind of want to see like going get back above 100
dollars before I close this out I feel a little bit better here but look at the
volume here we got 868 hundred and six eight hundred and sixty one thousand
like coin traded in the last 24 hours the other day I think it was like I'm
even know a couple days ago we were like doing a couple milli
worth volume there so we had a couple big spikes I think I was back here so
back to your litecoin spiked up big there was a couple of days where's like
a million or so volume there so where's it out I'm trying to find it there was a
day we got a couple million volume there so litecoin has been on a terror you can
see beginning of this month this is the daily chart here beginning of the month
we had litecoin down there at the $52 area november 2nd it's up over a hundred
percent so far and this exchange I'm looking at right now is called g dax
which works with coinbase if you're gonna sign up for a corn-based account
use the link that i have I get $10 you get $10 so why not you know we can all
make a little bit of money so there it is alright alright like one do a little
bit pullback Bitcoin up up there up there still so good to see good to see
either way we'll see what happens it doesn't get really volatile there's
gonna be a lot of action this week in the core in the cryptocurrency world
this is what's gonna happen you know a lot of news a lot of people talking
about Bitcoin now that's over $10,000 you're gonna get all the big investors
everybody talking about how Bitcoin is a bubble trust me tomorrow morning the new
CNBC the only thing I'm talking about is Bitcoin Bitcoin over $10,000 and every
analyst every big Wall Street hedge fund top manager is gonna be saying bitcoins
a bubble bitcoins a bubble and it's gonna be talked about all day long
tomorrow this is gonna be huge and we'll see what happens so aetherium nice
little pump there on a theory and like I. Said I got some aetherium there so
that's good for me I get aetherium I like to see aetherium
above $500 this week we'll see what happens the theorem has been on a run
been on a tear right now look at the theorem was it beginning of this month
aetherium down there below $300 it's up there to 490 480 area but yeah I'm over
here pumping Bitcoin as well so you can see that as the news is happening how is
this action is going on I'm talking about Bitcoin everyone's talking about
Bitcoin it's the hottest thing in the investing stock market trading world
right now nobody cares about stocks anymore it's
all about the Bitcoin the cryptocurrency world I think there's a lot of
opportunity if you guys are not already trading this stuff try to look
into it figure out it figure out about it the really cool thing about it is if
you're using G Dax there's no fee so I. Can buy and sell with a limit order if I
buy and sell a limit order there are no fees there's no broker fees there's no
commissions and I can I can buy as much as I want I can sell as much as I want
as long as I'm using limit orders there's no fees which is really really
cool and do I plan on putting it a hard offline wool yes I actually just bought
a TR easy treasurer treasurer I think a TR easy or I just bought this wallet
actually to put my money in cuz all these damn youtubers getting hacked
I might get hacked today everybody talking about these uh bitcoins and
light coins all that don't hack me please I'm not I'm not that rich I'm one
of you guys don't hack me yet give me a couple more days before I get my wallet
set up so that I can put my money in that and you guys can't hack me anymore
ha ha that's the plan right now so give me some time got give me 2 more days and
then you can hack me after taking all the money out of the out of the hot
wallet 24 hours a day jeer this thing is trading 24 hours a day every single
dates 365 days a year there are no holidays there are no breaks
it never stops it never stops there's never a dull moment in the
cryptocurrency world I think some of the biggest moves normally happen at night
and and the reason that is is because of the Asians South Korea no offense to
Asians nothing no offense to Asians at all but the Asians love cryptocurrency
South Koreans love cryptocurrency you got the South Koreans you got what
else I mean all the Asians I guess really love cryptocurrency in this like
I said that's not me this is not any kind of thing about Asians he says the
Asian markets really really love cryptocurrencies Japan actually made
Bitcoin a legal currency which is really wild so in Japan if you go to Japan
Bitcoin is a real currency in a sense that they recognize it whereas in
America you'd be like what's Bitcoin they book you that's one of the
politicians you ask the bankers they tell you it's a scam it's not real
there's no you can't do anything with that bitcoin but I'm really really
excited for tomorrow morning yeah just to tune in to CNBC to see what kind of
news they're gonna be talking about here on Bitcoin it's gonna be good
you're gonna have a lot of big money guys you have the CEO JPMorgan calling
out Bitcoin a bubble calling it a scam and the big argument really normally is
oh people that use Bitcoin are criminals people that use Bitcoin are drug addicts
people that use Bitcoin are people who are terrorists that'll be the one this
is what this is how America this is how the US government will be painting
Bitcoin now is that Bitcoin is being used by terrorists because terrorists
want Bitcoin because they use it to fund their terrorist activities because you
know terrorists don't like cash terrorists don't terrorists don't like
to use cash to buy weapons and stuff they like to only use Bitcoin I don't
know that'll be the story that's how America will start to try to regulate
Bitcoin stuff like that they're gonna tell people that it's illegal because
terrorists use it and you know I think there's a lot of big potential here but
we'll see what happens tomorrow morning I'm excited to see how much how I'm
excited to see the fear the fear in all of the big people all the big bankers
all the big hedge funds twitter is gonna be amazing it's always amazing to see
all the old timers you got the guys they're like 60 years old that have been
buying stocks since they were you know in their 20s they're been selling stocks
been trading the banks all that stuff and they're really really scared of
Bitcoin so we'll see what happens we'll see what happens here thanks for
watching guys I actually I gotta go and and hang out my girlfriend she's I can
hear her yelling at me right now - come come come come
something skid off of YouTube is what she's saying so I'll talk to you guys
later on thanks for watching like I said big day for cryptocurrencies if you
haven't already make sure you learn about this stuff I'm not telling you go
out there and buy everything you can right now don't go and mortgage your
house to buy cryptocurrencies but learn about it learn about it you know I'll
talk to you guys later on Oh sometimes I.

Always say that say - oh I say I'll see
you guys later on then I don't hit the actual stop button so this time see you
guys talk to you guys later tomorrow morning 9:00 a.M. Let's talk about what
stocks are hot tomorrow I might actually just quit trading stocks in general if
litecoin goes to $10,000 tomorrow morning do not expect me to be on the
live stream you guys.

aberdeen times - Bitcoin Ethereum and Litecoin Speed Test from USD on Coinbase to BTC on Bittrex! Who Wins

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

Are you really excited about
trading cryptocurrencies online and buying in with your
US dollars or euros, or yuan, or pounds or whatever you
are using? I am too, and what I want to know is
what is the very fastest way to do it. As I look down there's
hundreds of different currencies I can buy here and
the question I have today is, "What's the very fastest way
for me to take the US dollars out of my wallet and put it into
one of these 175+ currencies that are available on Bittrex?" Once I have got my money on
Bittrex then I can very easily trade all of these top
currencies here. What I am going to do is a
speed test, I am going to test each of the
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. These are three currencies
that Coinbase allows me to instantly change my US dollars
into.

Would you leave a like on this
video if you would like me to do more of these speed tests, testing different wallets, testing different exchanges to
see what is the fastest? I want
to know what is the very fastest way for me to get my
US dollars into any altcoin because I can instantly change
to Bitcoin and Ethereum, and Litecoin, but if I want to have more
buying options, I like Bittrex so far as the
fastest I have used to be able to change my currencies. So what I am going to do, I've got three different
stopwatch programs here, the Google stopwatch, the time and date stopwatch, and another stopwatch. I am going to go through and
do this live with you and fast forward if it takes a long time. I am going to change the US
dollars into Bitcoin, into Ethereum, into Litecoin, I am then going to send those
over to my Bittrex wallet.

I will then time each one of
these transactions, and tell you then by the end of
this video exactly which one of these on Coinbase and
potentially, if you are using other wallets, this will have the same
impact, to show which currency is the
very fastest to change into a-- from a fiat currency like US
dollars into it. Here we go, and I will have to edit some
parts out so that-- if there is confirmation codes or
passwords or whatever. What I am going to do, I want to buy a currency. There is one currency I am
really excited about, I am going all-in, I have sold everything else
and I bought this one currency, if you want to see which one
that is, I've got a course up explaining
what I think is the number one crypto investment opportunity.

I am grateful for everyone who
has enrolled in it already, over 5,000 in sales on my
university in the last two weeks, I am extremely grateful for
that. If you would like to see exactly
which currency I am going to buy with this, then would you please enroll
at the University of Jerrybanfield.Com. What I want to do is be able to
buy this currency as fast as possible. What I will do is I am going to
buy $400 of Bitcoin, of Ethereum,
and of Litecoin, I am going to put that on www.Bittrex.Com
and see which one of those does it the fastest.

That way in the future, I can just use that one
currency to deposit, instead of potentially getting
stuck, some Bitcoin transactions
have taken as long as eight hours, and I don't want that. I am going to start with Bitcoin
because I think Bitcoin will be the slowest. I will put $400 in here in
Coinbase. Again, if you would like me to do
some videos on other exchanges like Poloniex, just leave a like and that and
then I will test Poloniex as well.

Poloniex has been going
really slow the last few days. What I will do, I put $400 in here, you will see there is a fee on
Coinbase, there is a-- Well, let me just blank my face out. There is a four dollar fee on
Coinbase to change, plus there is an exchange rate
difference, Coinbase is effective however
it does have significant fees, but it is instant. As soon as I hit buy Bitcoin
right here, I hit the confirm buy button
over there.

Now, I view my dashboard
and it says it is instant but I-- sometimes it takes a minute. You can see, even though I hit buy on my
Bitcoin, I don't actually have that in my
wallet yet. What I will do is just to not
account for the Coinbase's individual time variations. I will buy $400 in Ethereum
also and wow that only gets me 2.

36 Ethereum, that used to get
a lot of Ethereum. So, I am going to buy $400 of
Ethereum and then I am going to go back to my dashboard
and it still hasn't updated yet. What I am going to do is go
over here to Litecoin, I am going to buy $400 of
Litecoin also, and then we are going to test
all of these against each other to see-- as soon as they are all
ready to go, I am going to send all of these
at the exact same time over to Bittrex and we will see which
one actually gets deposited the fastest, and we will see which one
then I essentially want to use in the future. Now my wallet is going a little
bit slow on Coinbase, it is not allowing me to-- I just
spent the 400 on each of it and usually, it is instant on Coinbase, it said instant buy on all of
these but as you can see, it hasn't actually put it in there
yet.

What I will do is pause this
part of the video here and I will continue once-- I will tell you--
I'll just start the stopwatch, I will tell you how long it took
before I could actually send it out. You can see why I want to do
a speed test like this because of how impatient I get with
using stuff, I am used to everything
working, so it took a whopping one
minute twenty-seven seconds for my balances to all transfer
properly. So if you look now, I have got all the balances I
just bought into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, and what I will do now, I am going to start the send
request process, what I will do, I will grab each one of these, so I will send each of these
over, so I need my deposit address. I will type the Bitcoin number
in, I will send all the Bitcoin, I will send-- I will select my
wallet so I'll send all the Ethereum, and then I will also do the
same thing on Litecoin.

I will go in and send each of
these different transactions over to www.Bittrex.Com and
what I will do is start the stopwatch, so I am not going to film every
single minute of it, it might take anywhere from
10 to 40 minutes. What I will do is when I get
each individual deposit, I will stop the stopwatch, I will film that part of the video
and show you that I got it, and then once I have got them
all, I will compare all the results
for you to show exactly which is the fastest. In order to get my deposit
address, all I do on Bittrex is I hit the
plus sign, I go up to my wallet, I hit the plus sign right here
and I follow the instructions it gives me. And then I put that exact
address in the exact correct wallet.

Now, one of the things I could
potentially screw up doing this, if I send Bitcoin in my Litecoin
address, for example, I could potentially lose all my
Bitcoin that way, so I recommend test this on
the smallest amount you are comfortable possible, I have transacted now in
hundreds of thousands of dollars online. So far everything went
smooth. I always double check my
addresses in the beginning and in the end to make sure
they look right and I try and take it slow, make sure I have got
everything pasted and send that in there. I am going to send all of these
over to Bittrex and see which one goes the fastest and then
start the stopwatch in each one.

And then, I will pause the video and then
I will record each additional part once the transaction is
finished to show you how long it took. Thank you very much for
watching this video with me, I hope this is really helpful for
you. I just finished sending out all
my deposits, and if you think it is nerve-
wracking in that short period of time between when you
actually send everything so you can see everything has
been sent, the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin and currently if
you actually look at my wallet, nothing has happened yet, so, of course, it is nerve-
wracking in this phase where your money essentially is
between places where you can have it. My money is kind of out on the
internet somewhere in the blockchain and I have got
nothing in here.

So far we have got 00.03.50
On the Bitcoin one, 00.02.28 On the Ethereum, and 00.01.36 On the Litecoin. Currently, there is no action
on anything yet, all of them have been sent on
Coinbase's side and they are all pending, so there is no action on any of
them in the first couple minutes. Of course, it is quite normal if
you are sending out for it to take a little bit and you can see
there is not even a pending deposit yet. I will show you the time frames
on each of these as well so that you can get comfortable if
you are new to this, or even if you've sent
hundreds of transactions or like I have thousands of
transactions, like maybe I've done in the
future, maybe there can be a little
more comfort with how long this whole process takes.

Now, naturally, the exact
wallet you use, the exact state of the
blockchain, all of these things can make a
big difference, so there is no hurry, essentially, in terms of this being an
absolute result. This is on May 23rd, 2017 so conditions could
change. I hope this is useful though for
providing a look at how fast all these are. Now, wait until I have got some
pending deposit activity and I.

Will check back in with you. For the pending deposit, Ethereum and Litecoin both
win. I believe Litecoin came in a
fraction of a minute sooner, maybe 10 to 30 seconds
sooner than Ethereum, but both the Litecoin and the
Ethereum came in nearly instantly. Right now, I have pending deposits here
on Bittrex for both Ethereum and Litecoin, I've got nothing available
currently for Bitcoin, it's been 8 minutes since I
sent the Bitcoin transaction, I hope the blockchain's not
backed up by 10 hours or I'll be doing this video for a while.

So far seven minutes since
the Ethereum one and so far six minutes since the Litecoin, both the Litecoin and the
Ethereum are competing to be the first approved deposit
here, I'll let you know which deposit
actually goes through first. Bottom line, you probably want to use
Ethereum or Litecoin if you're buying on Coinbase to send
your transactions over to another exchange because
bitcoin is significantly slower and that's one of the things
that's providing the value of Ethereum and Litecoin. Whatever Coinbase decides
to add, is the ability to have these
faster transactions. You can see even though the
Bitcoin is several minutes ahead of the other two, there's not even a pending
deposit yet on the Bitcoin, I'll keep you updated here and
show you which one actually confirms the fastest along with
showing when the Bitcoin actually arrives.

This is going to be such a
close race, I'm so excited to see who wins
between Litecoin and Ethereum. Litecoin and Ethereum
currently are in a dead heat right now, 2/6 confirmations for Litecoin, 25/36 for Ethereum. Still, nothing on the Bitcoin deposit
at 14 minutes and we got 12 minutes on Ethereum and just
over 12 minutes also on Litecoin. These two are very close right
now, I literally am refreshing the
page to see which one wins and I'm excited to share with
you who the winner is.

I am very excited to announce
Ethereum is the winner, Ethereum came in remarkably
fast. My Ethereum is now
available, my Litecoin is still pending
deposit even though the Litecoin deposit time has just
passed the Ethereum deposit time, it took a total of 13 minutes
from the moment I hit send on Coinbase until the moment my
Ethereum was available in Bittrex. That is currently the fastest
way I see to send money online, with Ethereum, and part of the reason for that
is Ethereum block stats is moving so rapidly, it's pushing transactions
through at an amazing rate even in the middle of this
spike. The current winner is
Ethereum, I am now planning based on
the results here to use Ethereum to fund my deposits
on Bittrex because this will give me the very fastest
deposit.

Now, Litecoin is not far behind right
now, Litecoin currently has two out
of six confirmations, Litecoin is still making good
progress, however, Bitcoin is not even showing a
pending deposit yet. Bitcoin is 17 minutes in, there's not even a pending
deposit on Bitcoin, let alone a confirmation. Meanwhile 4 minutes faster
than, Bitcoin is not even shown up
yet, Ethereum is finished. The winner of this speed test
is Ethereum, I will be buying and
transacting primarily now in Ethereum out of Coinbase.

I take my US dollars into
Ethereum and then I put my Ethereum on Bittrex, then I can buy the one
currency I'm excited the very most about and then send that
out to my wallet. I'll show you from here how
fast Litecoin comes in and I. Hope I don't have to wait all
day to finish this up with the Bitcoin part. I am very pleased to announce
that Litecoin has come in at a clear second place, Litecoin currently it has my
available balance.

The Litecoin took 17 minutes
from the time I sent the transaction until the time when
the deposit was actually available. No more pending deposit, the Litecoin balance is
available in my account. Now, the Bitcoin pending deposit
still has not arrived yet, I already sold my Ethereum
into Bitcoin so that I can buy other currency I'm really
excited about. Then, these are the numbers
so far, you have Ethereum four minutes faster to make the
deposit.

Now, the main way Ethereum
was faster is that it got the necessary confirmations faster
than Litecoin. Ethereum needed 26
confirmations to go through, Litecoin needed six, Ethereum got the 26
confirmations faster than Litecoin got the six. I will be using-- if something
happens with the Ethereum network, Litecoin will be my second
choice currently to make deposits. I am not planning to make any
more Bitcoin transactions except is needed to buy and
sell because it's so much slower to use Bitcoin.

As you can see these sends, I actually sent
the Bitcoin first, it's been 21 minutes now. The Ethereum completed
eight minutes ago and the transaction for Litecoin
completed a few minutes ago. Still nothing on the Bitcoin. How long do you think it's
going to take for the Bitcoin to go all the way through? My prediction is
an hour and a half, we'll see how long it takes.

As my dad would say, "Wrong again boy, wrong again." The Bitcoin only took 23
minutes to confirm and Bitcoin skipped, it didn't go into a pending
deposit at all, it went straight through as
soon as it hit, it went in and deposited. You can see the order right
here, Ethereum one, Litecoin came in second just a
very short time behind Ethereum, then Bitcoin came in at the
slowest. Bitcoin took 23 minutes from
the time of send to be available to use, Ethereum only took 13, that means 10 minutes faster
to use Ethereum, meanwhile Litecoin came in
the middle, five minutes faster than using
bitcoin, about four minutes slower
than using Ethereum, three and a half minutes
slower if you want to do a little Thank you very much for
watching this, I'm really excited to have
shared this with you, would you please leave a like
if you enjoyed this if you found this helpful. If you'd like me to test out
something different, for example, if you'd like me to do this same
experiment on Poloniex where I've heard Ethereum goes
really slow on Poloniex, I have not verified for myself, it worked last time I used it.

If you'd like me to repeat this
on another exchange like Bitfinex or if you'd like me to
repeat it on Poloniex, please tell me that. If you would like to get
yourself a Coinbase wallet, Coinbase is the main wallet I
use to buy my US dollars into now Ethereum, Bitcoin, and
Litecoin. This is where I've done most
all of my transactions from U.S. Dollars into another currency if
you'd like to get $10 in Bitcoin would you please use my link
at www.Jerrybanfield.Com/resour
ces.

If you click on it and load up a
$100 worth of Bitcoin or another currency in your own
wallet, Coinbase will give me and you
each $10 in Bitcoin. I'm grateful over 140 people
have already done that since I. Started using Coinbase and
sharing that I was using it. If you would like to see exactly
which cryptocurrency I'm going to buy, I'm using all this to buy a
cryptocurrency that I'm really excited about.

If you would like to see which
one that is and be one of the first people in the world to see
it and buy it before I start pumping it all over the place on
my youtube channel and everywhere and start
advertising it. If you'd like to see which
currency it is would you please buy my course on the
University of Jerrybanfield.Com, it's called the number one
crypto investment opportunity May 21, 2017, and the cost is $180 unless if
you subscribe, but you can get access every
month to all my courses for $27, you can get all the courses I
teach for the rest of my life for $297. I currently have about 100
video courses, 13 or so of them are up on the
website, I'm putting new ones up every
day. I'm hoping to have a thousand
plus courses done over my entire life.

I'm honored you've spent this
time here with me, I love you, I think you're amazing for
hanging out with me and giving me this opportunity today. I'll review the results with you
one more time here, bitcoin 22 minutes 52 seconds
for the transaction, Ethereum 13 minutes 29
seconds as the winner, and then Litecoin 17 minutes
and 12 seconds at second place. Thank you, I love you hope you have a
wonderful day and I'll hope to see you again soon..

Vacuum Trucks Clean Up Hurricane Debris!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 3 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

Hurricanes are one of the most devastating powers of nature. A hurricane takes a course and everything that is in its path will undoubtedly experience some kind of destruction. This ocean-water storm can destroy nearly everything that stands in its way including: roads and highway networks; houses and businesses; water and sewer systems; and electric and cable distribution systems to name a few.

The ravaging effects of hurricanes can cause severe damage that will leave an area filled with a huge debris field of trees, broken poles, collapsed building infrastructures and damaged cars. After the hurricane passes, extensive flooding that is caused by the storm surge frequently follows and inflicts damage as well, significantly clogging and blocking storm sewers which in turn interfere with the drainage systems of entire neighborhoods. This is where the unique capabilities of vacuum trucks come to the rescue.

Hurricane Katrina

After Katrina nearly wiped out the entire City of New Orleans, the U. S. Army organized emergency teams to clean the blocked catch basins. Compliance EnviroSystems (CES) was assigned to locate vacuum trucks which could clear as much debris as possible as well as clear the basins. This cleaning operation was performed after the flood had subsided. Eight vacuum trucks were deployed and the crews started clearing out the hardest-hit areas. These vehicles cleaned as many catch basins as quickly as possible and were able to help on some of the larger cleaning projects. The crews manually removed the rubble, vacuumed the mud that had collected in the basins and pressure-washed all involved areas.

Maintenance of Catch Basins

The high-performance, high-quality industrial vacuum trucks are the result of an intensive effort to streamline and promote different types of activities for these vehicles such as cleaning up catch basins from flood water. These trucks are a product line intended not only for the transportation of hazardous and toxic waste material but also for the removal and transportation of debris from sewage systems. Indeed, they have become powerful tools that provide the cleaning power and efficient work system that everyone can look to when hurricanes occur.

Catch basins are designed to trap debris so that it does not enter the drainage system. Cleaning these receptacles is part of the regular maintenance performed to be sure that they are properly functioning. This operation includes the removal of sediment, leaves, contaminants and other debris from such containment. By suction of the sediment from the catch basins, flooding problems within the drainage networks can be significantly reduced by preventing the build-up of contaminants.

Many municipalities perceive that they will have difficulty in acquiring vacuum trucks because of their expensive price tag and potentially high maintenance costs. Unfortunately, they do not realize that these vehicles are now available at a lower price and come with a higher quality that makes them overall more affordable.

The vacuum truck is a modern piece of equipment that can do an excellent job of clearing debris after a storm. To maintain a high level of productivity without the disruption of other recovery activities especially after hurricanes or extensive flooding, a fleet of vacuum trucks is necessary to do the job other equipment cannot handle. Manual labor would take half a day to clear out one catch basin; by using these vehicles, it only takes one hour. Productivity is rapid, efficient and very clean what an advantage in the clean-up efforts after hurricanes!

Top 10 Tips to Keep Your Kids Safe during Hurricane Season

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

Its that dreaded time of year again. The kids are back to school, and once again you get to wrestle with early mornings and post-Summer traffic jams. And while we all find ourselves a little more stressed during this season, its more important than ever to keep our kids safeespecially since theyre in other peoples care during the weekdays. So, with the upcoming hurricane season, here are ten ways you can make sure your children are safe and educated for in case of storm-related emergencies.

Preparing for Hurricane Season

1.What Are Hurricanes? Children are like sponges, so use this advantage to talk to them about hurricanes at a young age. Its important for them to know that hurricanes are a natural event outside of anyones control. With younger children, it can be helpful to use simple words to make it easy for them to understand. Kids [like adults] are less afraid of things they understand, and this will make preparing them far less challenging.

2. Know Where Youre Vulnerable Know the specific risks associated with your homes location, in addition to places frequented by your family such as schools, theaters, and parks. Are these locations in evacuation zones? Know if each are at particular risk of flooding, or collapsing trees or powerlines.

3. Exercise Home Evacuation Plan Have an evacuation plan and practice it with your family, so during an emergency, you can evacuate quickly and safely.

4. Know School Evacuation Plans As discussed in Tip #2 above, know the vulnerabilities of the locations your family frequents, and become familiar with the preparation and evacuation plans of your childs school if their area is at risk. Some schools report to a safer location so make pickup plans accordingly.

5. Stay Informed Early warning alerts can make all the difference, and there are several resources to make sure you receive those alerts as theyre made available. For those of you with smart phones (nearly everyone), you likely already have Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) activated on your phone. WEAs will automatically appear on your phone in the case of an emergency. You can also stay informed and prepared by having an emergency AM / FM Weather Band radio and tune into your local NOAA Weather Radio station. Find your local NOAA stations here. NOAAs Twitter account also posted updates to @NOAA.

During the Hurricane

6. Stay Indoors Unless Dangerous Staying inside and away from any windows or doors while keeping informed on weather reports is the safest thing to do for you and your family. If however, you are told to evacuate, or you feel its no longer safe in your current location, then its time to evacuate

7. When to Evacuate If local authorities have told you to evacuate, or if you feel its unsafe to stay put, then its time to leave. If you do decide to evacuate your current location, stay alert for fallen powerlines, and avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges. Be extra careful when near the coast. Remember your evacuation plans from Tip #3 and Tip #4 above.

After the Hurricane

8. Make Sure Its Safe Make sure that vital utilities such as plumbing and electricity are operational, and there are no physical or environmental hazards before allowing the children to return to areas impacted by a hurricane. This doesnt just go for the local mallbe sure to personally check your childs school, daycare, and/or frequented locations.

9. Keep the Kids Involved Have the children help in the recovery. Let them help you with cleaning and easy/age-appropriate repair efforts. This helps increase their sense of control over the situation, and can mitigate any negative emotional reactions to the situation, while reinforcing their preparedness for the future. Remember, theyre sponges!

10. Keep the News to the Adults After a hurricane, monitor media exposure in case the results of the storm may not be appropriate to young eyes and ears.

Keeping your children informed and active in case of emergencies will always prove useful for that rainy day. It will also prove even more useful in managing your own stress during the hurricane season. May you and your kids have a safe and stress-free return to school!

Therapy With Children Of Hurricane Katrina

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 15:54:00 -0800

Using Relaxation Therapy And Imagery

Lendell W. Braud, Ph.D., Leon H. Belcher, Ph.D., Jessica Wright, B.A, San Juanita Trevino, B.S., Blair Powell, M.A., Verlynn E. Williams, Ed.D., and Mimi Lupin, M.A. L.S.S.P.

In August of 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated the homes, property and lives of families living along the coast of Louisiana , Mississippi , and Alabama . Many families moved to Houston , Texas and the children of these families entered school. During the fall of 2005 over 200 children from New Orleans attended classes at the school. Most of these children only stayed 1-3 months before they moved back to Louisiana or other parts of the United States . Many of the children that remained began to tell us the horrible events that they had experienced. The senior author developed a Katrina Interview that assessed a number of stressors and traumatic events. Questions included factors such as being in the Superdome, Astrodome or shelter, being harmed in a shelter, being in an attic or on a roof, death of a family member, loss of a pet, seeing dead bodies, and other negative events. These questions were asked to determine the number of stressful events and the degree of trauma experienced by each child. The children rated 8 items on a stress ruler to indicate the degree of stress related to each event. Children indicated that stress included several emotions including anxiety, sadness, and/or anger. The stress ruler contains 4 faces indicating greater degrees of emotion/stress. The stress ruler (Appendix A) also allowed younger children a way to express themselves in a simple manner. The questions and stress ruler also allowed the child to indicate the amount of stress he/she had before Katrina and how much stress was associated with moving to a new city , a new school and leaving friends and family apart from the storm. The Katrina Interview served two purposes. First, the interview allowed the authors to assess the number of stressors and correlate the amount of stress with anxiety, depression and behavior problems. Second, the interview began a dialog with the child about events and issues related to these events. This dialog continued in group discussions that followed the relaxation sessions.

Children were assessed using the Katrina Interview, Revised Childrens Manifest Anxiety Scale, Digit Span (WISC-IV), Modified Emotionality Scale. A Behavioral Rating was also given to the parents of the children attending relaxation sessions. The authors noted early in the testing process that children that left New Orleans before the storm had much less stress and emotional problems. Therefore, the evaluation of all students was used in the correlation portion of this project. The children that had emotional problems and remained at the school entered relaxation therapy. The authors read these children a short book named Feeling Katrina. This is a book by two psychologists (Lynette S. Causey, Ph.D. and Sandra Rouce, Ph.D.) designed to help children understand that negative emotions can remain long after the storm had passed. The book acknowledges that it is hard to leave your friends and your school. The children in the story miss the smell of gumbo, the sound of jazz and other things associated with their culture and their neighborhood. As the authors read this story to the children they told us the things they missed about New Orleans .

The children included in this project ranged in age from 7-12 years. All children were African American. The children had expressed a sincere desire to participate in the relaxation program. Several of these youngsters had severe behavioral problems and were pleased to know that relaxation has been used to treat behavior problems.

Relaxation sessions began after the Christmas Holiday (2005). The children attended 12-15 relaxation sessions utilizing The Old Me New Me Program (www.oldmenewme.com). The Old Me New Me program is by Mimi Lupin (M.A., LPC, LSSP). This program includes a progressive relaxation tape, a breathing tape and 11 stories. The story tapes are guided imagery trips (Beach, Star. Woods, Secret Place , Magic Mountain and other stories) designed to address a variety of emotional and behavioral problems such as anxiety, anger, frustration, oppositional behavior, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Positive Self-Talk statements are embedded in these stories to address negative behaviors and enhance internal locus of control. Immediately following the 15 minute relaxation or story tape a discussion ensued. The discussion section allowed the child to talk about his/her feelings and help the children implement the relaxation skills in their daily lives. Previous research has indicated that it is essential to help children learn how to use these techniques in their life and with their specific problems. This helps generalize the techniques to new settings.

Over 20 years research with this program has demonstrated significant improvement in concentration ability, anxiety, hyperactivity, aggressive ability, frustration, and other behaviors. The original population of 22 children were tested. Significant differences between the anxiety levels of children that had experienced more stressful events as compared with those experiencing fewer stressors. ( p< .03). The total population demonstrated a deficit in auditory memory as measured by the Digit Span subtest ( M=8.00). Therefore, therapy including visual imagery is helpful. Children remaining at the school were placed in therapy. These children made significant progress on auditory memory (Digit Span, p< .05). Significant decreases were found in anxiety, physiological anxiety, and worry/oversensitivity ( p< .03) as well as social concerns/concentration ( p< .02). Additional improvements were found in a reduction of concentration problems and thought disorder symptoms ( p< .02) and depression ( p< .03).

Parent ratings demonstrated significant decreases in physical aggression, verbal aggression, impulsivity, and concentration problems ( p< .03) as well as frustration and hyperactivity

( p< .02). Post therapy interviews with the children indicated that this therapy gave them self power and reduced feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. This provides resilience.

Why the UK Election Results are the Worst in History.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

Hello Internet The UK had an election we need to talk about
because after the debates finished, the people voted and the ballots tallied the results
were this: But parliament ended up looking like this: Which isn't, exactly, representative. And
by not exactly, I mean at all. Red earned 30% of the vote and 36% of the
seats, which is sort of close, but the rest is madness: Orange earned 8% of the vote but
got one eighth of that while Yellow's 5% just about doubled, and purple earned 13% and got
squat. Meanwhile blue's 37% of the people booted
to 51% of the seats in parliament.

The blue boost is even bigger when you consider that
51% of the seats gives basically 100% the control. How'd this happen? In the UK -- national elections aren't really
national, they're a bunch of local elections. The UK is divided into constituencies, each
of which elects one member of parliament (M.P.) To represent them. This local / national divide
is where the trouble begins.

Imagine a parliament with just three constituencies,
and it's easy to see how it wouldn't always align with citizens. Some people think this
sort of result is fine -- it's all *about* winning local elections, theyll say.
Each M.P. Represents their constituency. And while the imbalance in this example is
extreme, but it's the same problem in the real election and this same argument is given,
but there are two more problems with it in reality land.

1) Few citizens have any idea who their MP
is, they just know what party they voted for -- what party they want to represent their
views on the national level. And pretending like it's a local election is a bit disingenuous.
-- In practice it's an election for how the nation will run -- not really for who is going
to represent a tiny part of it. And even if it were 2) The individual constituencies are worse
at representing their citizens than parliament. Indulge this spreadsheet-loving nerd for a
moment, will you? The difference between what a party earned
at the polls and what they got in parliament is the amount of misrepresentation error.

If we calculate all the errors for all the
parties and add them up we can say the Parliament as a whole has 47% percentage points of misrepresentation
error. That sounds bad looks like a utopian rainbow of diversity compared to any local
election because the local elections have *one* winner. Out of the 650 constituencies
647 have a higher representation error than parliament. These are the only three that
don't and they're really unusual for having so many of a single kind of voter in one place.

Most places look the The Wrekin which is dead
in the middle a mere one-hundred and one points off. Note that the winning candidate didn't
reach a majority here. Which means more than half of constituencies elected their MP with
a minority of voters. The worst is Belfast South at the bottom of
the list.

Hilariously unrepresentative. Less than a quarter of the voters get to speak
for the entire place in parliament. This is the the lowest percentage an M.P. Has ever
been elected by.

So when people argue that the UK election
is a bunch of local elections 1) people don't act like it, and 2) It's even more of an argument
that the elections are broken because they're worse on this level. These local elections are unrepresentative
because of the terrible 'First Past the Post' voting system -- which I have complained mightily
about and won't repeat everything here -- go watch the video -- but TL;DR it only 'works'
when citizens are limited to two choices. Voting for any party except the biggest makes
it more likely the biggest will win by a minority -- which is exactly what happened. That citizens keep voting for smaller parties
despite knowing the result is against their strategic interests demonstrates the citizenry
wants diverse representation -- but that successes is the very thing that's made this the most
unrepresentative parliament in the history of the UK.

People happy with the results argue the system
is working fine -- of course they do. Their team won. But Government isn't a sport where a singular
'winner' must be determined. It's a system to make rules that everyone follows and so,
we need a system where everyone can agree the process is fair even if the results don't
go in their favor.

If you support a system that disenfranchises
people you don't like and turbo-franchises people you do -- then it doesn't look like
you support representative democracy, it looks like you support a kind of dictatorship lite.
Where a small group of people (including you) makes the rules for everyone. But as it is now, on election day the more
people express what they want the worse the system looks which makes them disengaged at
best or angry at worst and GEE I CAN'T IMAGINE. WHY. This is fixable, there are many, many better
ways the UK could vote -- here are two that even keep local representatives.

And fixing voting really matters, because
this is a kind of government illegitimacy score -- and it's been going up and may continue
to do so unless this fundamentally broken voting system is changed..

The Sense of Security In The NICU That Blew Away With Hurricane Sandy

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

As chaotic as life in the NICU can be, it is the daily routines that provide order. Parents and staff know that everyday there will be morning sign-out, daily rounds, a time for procedures, scheduled feedings, appointments with therapists, and which consulting doctors will come to see the patients at a certain time. No one could have predicted when they arrived to work on that fateful day that their daily routines would be abruptly disturbed as hospitals in NYC lost power due to flooding after Hurricane Sandy. To ensure safety for all the patients in the hospital, evacuation to other hospitals was the only option.

We watched on television as the evacuation efforts were under way. Our hearts went out to the families as we saw nurses carrying babies close to them on stretchers. We learned of the daunting circumstances that they had to endure to safely evacuate each and every patient from the youngest and tiniest to the oldest. They were successful!

As much as possible in the NICU, we try to keep parents informed and prepare them for what will happen next. This may not always allay their fears. As we keep parents informed we support and empower them. What happens when a disaster like Hurricane Sandy strikes and routines, support systems, and trust that have been carefully built over weeks and months are immediately broken?

Intellectually we accept that the evacuation was the only option. However, emotions do not always catch on as quickly. Instead fear takes over. The initial fear is whether your fragile preemie or sick newborn, who responds to routine care by dropping his or her oxygen saturation, will be able to tolerate the ambulance trip to a new location. Then there are the changes that you will have to endure. It took time for you to trust the medical team who has been taking care of your baby and your family since birth.

The journey of parents of preemies and sick term newborns is an emotional journey. After initial feelings of guilt and blame you came to a place of being willing to trust the doctors, nurses, and the team. Maybe you had just begun to allow yourself to receive support from them. Maybe you had just begun to release those feelings of guilt and blame as you accepted that the early birth of your son or daughter was no ones fault, just as this untimely evacuation is.

As the safety of our NICU babies and their parents became paramount, moms and dads had to rely on blind faith. But fear of change and fear of the unknown still linger.
"Who are these new doctors, nurses, practitioners, and therapists? How will they care for my baby? What support systems are available for me at this new hospital?"

For the moms and dads in the NICU the evacuation meant more than a change in location. Their routines shifted. They had to find new ways to commute to the hospital in the face of altered modes of transportation and increased traffic because of the flooding and power outages in the city. They had to familiarize themselves with new visiting hours and hospital policies. In the NICU, they had to adjust to new routines, different equipment, and different styles of delivering excellent medical care.

Hurricane Sandy was so much more than a natural disaster. She abruptly broke bonds that had been formed between parents and medical staff. These were bonds that had been carefully nurtured over weeks and months of tears and fears to finally come to a place of mutual understanding. With Hurricane Sandy there was no pre-discharge planning to help mom and dad prepare for what comes next. There were no photo opportunities to commemorate their son or daughter leaving the unit. There were no goodbyes or best wishes from the staff who dedicated each day to the care of these precious babies. As the winds of Hurricane Sandy blew thru New York, she took with her much more than we can measure.

What's Going On With Honduras' ElectionNowThis World

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 1 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

Hondurans voted to elect a new president in
late November, but they didnt officially have one for nearly three weeks. Although the election was about a month ago,
thousands of protesters have been in the streets refusing to accept the results, claiming corruption
and fraud. At least 24 people have died during the violent
clashes. The country was split by a razor-thin margin
in a contest between two completely different candidates: an incumbent President, allied
to the U.S and a TV-host and first time candidate.

So what do we know about the current political
chaos going on in one of the most important countries of the Northern triangle? And how
can Honduras move forward amid this tension? Politically, Honduras hasnt been shaken
this bad since their 2009 coup. The people in the streets are mostly the supporters
of the opposition celebrity-like candidate Salvador Nasralla, who lost. Although in his
Twitter bio, hes declared himself as the winner and President until 2022. The officially
winning candidate was President Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Except...Thats being contested.
Suspecting fraud, the Organization of American States has called for a re-do election.
And the results were so close that international experts say its impossible to actually
know which candidate won. Nasralla from the Opposition Alliance Against
Dictatorship has gained a lot of support. In between his celebrity status and extroverted
personality, he knows how to gather and work big crowds, but has really no political background.
Sound familiar? Nasralla has someone powerful in his corner,
though: Mel Zelaya. Hes a former president of Honduras who had alliances with leaders
like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Zelaya was overthrown in 2009 when he tried to change
the constitution in order to get himself re-elected. Now, the declared winner, President Juan Orlando
Hernandez has been president of Honduras since 2009. He is the first president ever to run
for a second term. I spoke to the former Latin America advisor
for Vice President Biden in hopes he could break it down for us.

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez
is actually the leader of what's called the National Party. Since he assumed office, he
was originally the speaker of the house and then was elected following the ouster of President
Mel Zelaya. Juan Orlando Hernandez advanced changes that
would allow for his re-election. So thats something where I think the process first
begins to break down because there was a lot of debate of whether or not that change should
have happened, and actually the process by which that change was made, so thats the
first issue of the election.

This is one of the reasons Nasralla supporters
are so pissed off with the election results. Now remember, Nasralla supporters are also
Zelaya supporters. And Zelaya was overthrown in 2009 because he sought re-election. But
that just wasnt the way things were done in Honduras.

Running for a second term was
against the law. Until Juan Hernandez came along and changed the Constitution in 2015
so that he could run again. So Hernandez has flaws. But on the other hand,
his accomplishments have been praised by the U.S.

In terms of security and the economy. It's actually because of his leadership that
the Alliance for Prosperity in the Northern Triangle was begun which is this broad scale
initiative where the United States provided 750 million dollars in 2017 to support those
efforts including not just addressing the security issue but also supporting economic
role. So he's been actually an ally of the United States.
Although hes gotten a lot of of criticism from the human right community, there has
been violence against human rights advocates for example that was murder of a a very recognized
environmental activists Berta Caceres and there are allegations and rumors that the
security forces may have had something to do with it. So on Election Day, the results showed Hernandez
had won with 42.95% Of the votes, while Nasralla lost with 41.42%.

Thats a margin of just
1.53%. Supporters of Nasralla believed the election
had been stolen, and demonstrated their anger in nationwide protests. "We don't accept the official results because
we won, Salvador (Nasralla) won, and the people won. We do not accept the results so we're
gonna be here in the streets." Then there was a recount in December, where
Hernandez was officially pronounced the winner.

Protests continued.
And now, the Organization of American States are calling for a re-do of the whole election,
suspecting widespread irregularities in how the vote was conducted. Well I think the reason Hondurans are protesting
largely is because you have a very divided society in Honduras, and many Hondurans do
not support reelection. But I think a lot of it is also because it's such a polarized
societ you'll have to have individuals aligned across party lines.
Nasrralla is somebody who has national recognition. He's a celebrity.

He has that appeal and a
very popular very popular show. He's being consistent in what he actually offers as an
alternative. But he is also run like many populists in the region have run on an anti-corruption
campaign that will address some of the the lack of opportunity and the concentration
of wealth in the country. Soon after the election, the U.S.

State department
declared Hernandez as the winner, and urged opposition protesters to resolve their differences
peacefully. Ignoring the democratic concerns of fraud and corruption of some Honduran people. The steps that the United States and the Honduran
government should take is essentially open the door be totally transparent and find some
sort of resolution here. Otherwise you may have continued protests and you may actually
have a situation where Honduras loses the support of the U.S.

Congress. So far, the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia
have all recognized Hernandez as the president-elect. And hes scheduled to be sworn in in late
January 2018. With only half of the population on his side.

Why does the U.S.S voice in the Honduran
election matter so much? Well, it may be the worlds only superpower. Check out this

The Hurricane That Disrupts All Relationships

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 1 Jan 2018 23:54:00 -0800

Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. ~William James.

What is this hurricane that disrupts all relationships at work and home? In two words: Wrong perceptions. We form perceptions of other people based on: (a) our personal interactions and communication with them, and (b) how we think and feel about others because of this information. We then assume these perceptions are accurate and correct and act on them accordingly. Oh what a sad mistake! The winds start blowing.

Knowing how the brain works (an efficiency machine needing homeostasis) and how easily people can form wrong perceptions of others (the endless perceptual biases that occur), I am inclined to assume that the majority of our perceptions of others are far from correct. This includes the way others perceive us and our perception of that perception. And reactions to wrong perceptions, even when they are all we have to go on, usually dont lead to the best outcome. This is something we can all easily identify with even though we often dont do anything about it

If wrong perceptions are the hurricane that drives relationships south, then the eye of the storm is the perceptions we form of other peoples motivations or intentions, including those that we project from ourselves. We can project or perceive positive, neutral or negative motivations when dealing with others, depending on the general view we have of life, based on our personal experiences and thoughts about those experiences.

Fear and anxiety are the winds of the hurricane that are so disruptive to a relationship headed south, when expressed with contempt. And those negative feelings are usually associated with the un-clarity or distrust of our own primary motivation in the relationship or a similar negative perception of the other persons motivation. Misperceiving a basically good and pure intention, because of the bad surface behaviors and words that speak louder, is very natural and understandable; however, it is the only point of entry to correct this misperception problem.

Correcting misperceptions at this level is very difficult because one has to be open and courageous to begin to question, whether his or her own intentions are pure, good, and honest aimed at a win-win outcome for all, or whether they are aimed more at a dishonest, manipulative me win and you lose direction. And of course, correcting wrong perceptions that would allow the relationship to head in the right direction, has to start with being open to the possibility that your perceptions of the other person arent necessarily correct, especially when it comes to what you quickly see on the surface vs. taking the time to understand their basic intentions underneath.

Wrong perceptions are formed and continue mostly by means of miscommunication, which starts with our own misperception of who we are, what we are really after, and how well we are succeeding in getting it. We are all in pursuit of intrinsically genuine happiness, using our god-given right of freedom to pursue it in our own chosen way.

This is where the conflicts arise and misperceptions of purpose and intentions fester. We all have our own different ideas of what this happiness is all about and the best path to get it, and it is easy to get in arguments about this and do things that are easily perceived as over-controlling or limiting the freedom of others in both work and personal relationships.

There only seems to be one way to view other people to avoid the contamination of wrong perceptions that lead to ineffective actions and reactions, which in turn diminish our success at reaching the ultimate goal we are all aftermore happiness and less suffering. Getting to this viewpoint can be a slow and painful process, full of unhappy failures.

This best viewpoint is the one that helps us get in touch with our own best intentions in a relationship and communicate them in an honest way, without participating in the normal competitive tit for tat game. This is the only way to unravel the layers of misperceptions about the other persons wrongly perceived intentions; and this is true because as it turns out, we all have the same good intentions in spite of alluring, transient proof to the contrary.

Getting to this last viewpoint is what life is all aboutseeing the real reason for the hope and faith that none of us can misperceive or deny forever. In the meantime, it is most sensible to do what you can to make the inevitable hurricane winds less destructive.

This healing process starts with communicating past the miscommunication that lead to the wrong perceptions that we have of others and that they have of us, especially about wrongly perceived or miscommunicated intentions. And this in turn starts with embracing a very safe assumption that we all have good intentions, but just dont always know the best way to carry them out for the best results that help us all. Wrong outcomes of good intentions are just misguided, as hard as that is to see sometimes. But the view is worth the effort to get there.

Trumpism Already Dying Out

OTHER ISSUES FOR THE MOST PART, BUT WE WANT SOMEONE WHO WAS
STRONG BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT AND. IT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE, NOT
NECESSARILY JUST BECAUSE THEY. THINK IT'S POLITICALLY
EXPEDIENT.

AS YOU ALLUDED TO. THERE IS THE SANCTUARY CITIES
ISSUE, THAT HAS BEEN COMING UP. THROUGHOUT THIS RACE, GILLESPIE
SAYING HE WANTS TO, AS GOVERNOR, BAN SANCTUARY CITIES, WHICH IS
URGENT BECAUSE VIRGINIA. CURRENTLY HAS ZERO SANCTUARY
CITIES.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING. ABOUT, YOU ASS? BUT HE WANTS TO
BAN THEM, HE KEPT BRINGING IT. UP, AND NORTHAM WAS SPEAKING OUT
AGAINST IT, SAYING THAT WE HAVE. TO HAVE RESPECT AND ALSO
PROTECTIONS FOR VARIOUS PEOPLE.

WHO COULD THEORETICALLY BE
ABUSED BY THE STATE, AND THEN AS. THE ATTACKS GO ON HE GETS WORN
DOWN, THE POLLS START TO TIGHTEN. UP, THEN HE STARTS IMPLYING THAT
HE MIGHT BE WILLING TO DO. SOMETHING ABOUT SANCTUARY
CITIES.

IN THE SHORT TERM I. GUESS THERE IS NO HARM SINCE
THERE AREN'T ANY, BUT THERE ARE. INCLUSIVE CITIES WHICH DON'T
TECHNICALLY HAVE THE INTERNAL. CAPACITY TO BREAK STATE LAW IN
THE WAY THANKS WAY CITIES DO, BUT THEY HAVE THE SORT OF
ASPIRATIONAL GOAL -- HOPEFULLY.

AS GOVERNOR HE WOULDN'T GO
AGAINST THAT. BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS. IS EXACTLY WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
IN 2017 WANT YOU TO DO, THEY. WANT YOU TO TAKE A RACE THAT HAS
CONSEQUENCES FOR REDISTRICTING.

AND A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND FOCUS
ON THESE BULLSHIT -- NOT THAT. IT'S BULLSHIT TO HAVE SANCTUARY
CITIES, BUT THEY LITERALLY DON'T. HAVE THEM RIGHT NOW, AND HE
WANTS YOU TO TALK ABOUT. CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS AND ALL
THAT.

SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING. TO SEE WHO WINS BECAUSE IF
SOMEHOW LUSBY WINS BY A COUPLE. POINTS AND IT TURNS OUT HE'S
BEATING THE POLLS WITH THIS SORT. OF NEW APPROACH, THAT DOESN'T
LOOK GOOD FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR.

TWO. IT'S FRUSTRATING TO WATCH
STUFF LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT'S. LIKE, DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING THE
BAIT. THIS IS A NONISSUE IN.

VIRGINIA. IF WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR, FINE, IT'S WORTH TALKING ABOUT. IN
VIRGINIA, WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE? HE'S TAKING THE BAIT AND GOING
FURTHER TO THE RIGHT AND SET OF. FURTHER TO THE LEFT, HE'S
APPEALING TO THE REPUBLICANS' BASE, NOT HIS OWN.

THAT'S THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR YOU. BEST CASE SCENARIO, I GUESS,
THE DEMOCRAT WINS AND BECOMES. GOVERNOR, AND THEN THE
LEGISLATURE VOTES TO STRIP HIM. OF ALL HIS POWER LIKE THEY DID
IN NORTH CAROLINA.

WOW, WE HAVE. A GREAT SYSTEM IN AMERICA. BUT
AS WE SAID HE HAS A SLIGHT LEAD. RIGHT NOW, GILLESPIE -- ALTHOUGH
HIS TACTICS HAVE BEEN MIMICKING.

TRUMP IN SEVERAL WAYS, HE HAS
NOT NECESSARILY BEEN TRYING TO. TIE HIMSELF TO TRUMP
SPECIFICALLY, MAY BE BECAUSE. TRUMP IS AT LIKE 34% APPROVAL
RATING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, BUT TRUMP HAS BEEN TWEETING
ABOUT GILLESPIE AND NORTHAM. AND ALL THAT QUITE A BIT.

WHICH WORKS GREAT FOR LUTHER
STRANGE. YES, WE WILL SEE IF THAT HAS
ANY EFFECT, BUT THAT'S NOT THE. ONLY GOVERNORS RACE GOING ON. NOT FAR AWAY WE HAVE NEW JERSEY, WHERE WE MIGHT AT LONG LAST BE
SEEING THE BACKSIDE OF CHRIS.

CHRISTIE. I SHOULD WORD THAT
DIFFERENTLY -- WE'VE BEEN. DEALING WITH HIM FOR A LONG
TIME, I BELIEVE AT ONE POINT HE. WAS POLLED AS THE LEAST POPULAR
GOVERNOR SINCE THEY HAD BEGUN.

PULLING THE POPULARITY OF
GOVERNORS, HE WAS IN THE LOW. TEENS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
NOW WE HAVE DEMOCRAT PHILIP. MURPHY VERSUS REPUBLICAN KIM
GUADAGNO, THERE HAS BEEN. CONSISTENTLY A DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD
FOR THE DEMOCRAT IN THIS CASE, WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT.

THAT SOUNDS SAFER. HOPEFULLY THE BRIDGES WILL BE
A LITTLE MORE ACCESSIBLE. AND THE BEACHES. THIS IS A RACE THAT
THEORETICALLY, AND NOBODY IS.

PERFECT, WE COULD FIND REASONS
TO BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT EFFECT. THIS GUY MIGHT HAVE, BUT HERE
YOU HAVE A FAIRLY STRONG BLUE. STATE, MANY OF THE EFFORTS THEY
HAVE MADE TO PAST LIBERAL PIECES. OF LEGISLATION HAVE BEEN VETOED
BY CHRIS CHRISTIE, WITH MURPHY.

IN PLACE YOU MIGHT HAVE PROGRESS
ON THESE ISSUES. MURPHY SUPPORTS. LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA, IS
PROPOSING A TAX HIKE ON RICH. INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS
INSIDE OF NEW JERSEY, LET'S SEE, PROMISE TO EXTEND STATE-LEVEL
PROTECTIONS TO UNDOCUMENTED.

IMMIGRANTS, WHICH WOULD BE A
SWITCH FROM CHRISTIE, AND AGAIN. HE IS GOING TO SIGN BILLS, HE
HAS PLEDGED TO SIGN BILLS, THAT. CHRISTIE HAS PREVIOUSLY VETOED,
ONE OF WHICH IS A RAISE FOR THE. MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 PER HOUR.

IT'S A GRADUAL THING WHICH IS. NOT OPTIMAL BUT IT CERTAINLY
WILL BE NICE FOR PEOPLE LIVING. IN NEW JERSEY, AND THAT IS A
CHANGE YOU CAN GET IF MURPHY. DOES WIN THERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING
TO LOOK FORWARD TO, I GUESS. LET'S SEE, WE ALSO HAVE DE
BLASIO, I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS. QUESTIONING HOW THAT'S GOING TO
GO DOWN TO NEW YORK, THAT WILL. BE ASSURED BY TONIGHT, THEN WE
HAVE A COUPLE OF BALLOT.

INITIATIVES WORTH COVERING. ONE
IS IN MAINE, WE WILL TALK ABOUT. MAINE A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS
HOUR, THAT'S A BALLOT INITIATIVE. THAT WOULD EXPAND MEDICAID
COVERAGE TO 70,000 LOW INCOME.

RESIDENTS IN MAINE. AND BY THE
WAY THERE HAS BEEN THIS CAMPAIGN. AGAINST THIS BALLOT INITIATIVE
SAYING THIS WOULD COST TOO MUCH, THE STATE CAN'T AFFORD TO EXTEND
MEDICAID TO THESE LOW INCOME. INDIVIDUALS -- THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WOULD BE PICKING UP.

90% OF THE TAB. THINK ABOUT THE
GOOD THAT CAN BE DONE INSIDE OF. MAINE IF IT'S GET PASSED AT
ALMOST NO COST TO MAINE, THAT'S. SOMETHING THEY WANT TO DO, AND
BEAR IN MIND THERE HAS BEEN.

ATTEMPTED MEDICAID EXPANSION
FIVE TIMES IN MAINE THAT WAS. VETOED EVERY TIME BY THE
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR, PAUL. LEPAGE. AFTER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
MAINE NEVER DID THE MEDICAID.

EXPANSION, THIS WOULD BE THEIR
FIRST TIME? THIS IS A PARTICULAR ASPECT OF
MEDICAID EXPANSION, THIS ASPECT. HAS BEEN SHOT DOWN MULTIPLE
TIMES. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH THE. GENERAL CAMPAIGN GOT BUT THIS IS
ONE REPUBLICANS IN THAT STATE.

HAVE BEEN DEAD SET AGAINST, FIVE
VETOES, THAT'S A LOT OF EFFORT. TO STOP PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD
THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE FROM. GETTING IT. AGAIN, HOPEFULLY
PEOPLE ARE VOTING, IT'S.

DIFFICULT TO SAY, POLLS WON'T
CLOSE I THINK UNTIL THE END OF. THIS HOUR SO WE WON'T KNOW, BUT
I HAVE READ A COUPLE REPORTS. THAT ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE IS THAT
IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS THERE. APPEARS TO BE LESS VOTING THAN
THERE WAS THE LAST TIME AROUND.

IN VIRGINIA. UH-OH. WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT A
DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT 3% IN THE. POLLS, A CHANGE IN TURNOUT IS
SIGNIFICANT.

BUT I KNOW A LOT OF. PEOPLE ARE WATCHING THIS, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY TO. SAY A LOT ABOUT WHERE THE
COUNTRY IS AT AND WHERE IT'S. GOING BASED ON THESE RESULTS, I
DON'T KNOW HOW ACCURATE THAT.

EVER IS, BUT THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT VOTING DAY AFTER A. LOT OF SMALLER SPECIAL
ELECTIONS. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS
TOMORROW..

The Eye Of The Hurricane

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 1 Jan 2018 15:54:00 -0800

As many of you may or may not know, I am a structure queen. When it comes to writing this blog, I start a week before, asking to be shown what topic to write about. I let the topic marinate for a few days and then sit down to write the blog post about five to seven days before it gets published.

What many of you probably dont know is that I live in Miami where, as I write this blog post, there is a Category 5 hurricane expected in a few days. Although I had planned to write this post on an entirely different topic, every time I sat down to write, my mind kept drifting back to thinking about this impending hurricane. Since I believe that the Universe is always giving us feedback and that every experience is a learning experience, I decided to pause and go with what is. What is this experience trying to teach me? What am I supposed to be seeing?

Although I have had several a-has and insights, the thing that has stood out the most about this experience up to this moment is the incredible amount of kindness permeating the air. Yes, there have been reports of price gouging and people losing their cool as a result of long lines, supply shortages, fear, and stress, but for the most part what I see and feel is kindness and caring.

People are greeting each other, looking into each others eyes, and asking, How are you doing? Where are you going? Every conversation ends with, Stay safe! which has become like a sacred prayer. There is an increased sense of gratitude for the people working at grocery stores, drug stores, and restaurants for being there and helping instead of being home with their families and/or making their own preparations. Many businesses are helping out. Yes, they want to make money but not in the face of tragedy or at the cost of other people. There is not only neighbor helping neighbor but strangers helping strangers and many are going above and beyond, asking, How can I become a first responder? How can I volunteer? And in terms of people who are not in Irmas path, the prayers and love being sent from around the world are creating a container of love which I know will protect us and help us weather the storm. The feelings of love are just that palpable!

For me, I feel an increased sense of churning and fear as well as an increased sense of awe and reverence. I am again amazed that from the shadow comes the light. Its incredible the range and dichotomy of emotions that can exist in one moment.

In my upcoming book I write:

When we each own our wholeness, it impacts the whole.

In the eye of the hurricane, whatever seems to divide us dissipates. We are connected in compassion. Everyone seems to have stepped into a collective consciousness. People are asking:

Who do I want to be inside the collective?

How can I contribute or help?

What do I need to do to take care of myself so I feel free and able to help others?

There are no right or wrong answers to any of these questions, just what feels right for each individual. Standing in our personal integrity of what is important to us and taking individual responsibility for the safety and well-being of ourselves and our loved ones, we are then able to step into the whole and collective integrity. And it really is amazing what communities can do and achieve when they come together as one. Together, we can weather the storms!

I conclude this blog post with gratitude, prayers, and love! Wherever you are and whatever you are dealing withStay Safe!

Transformational Action Steps

(1) Reflect on this thought: When we each own our wholeness, it impacts the whole.

(2) Identify what you need to take care of for yourself or handle in your own life that would then free you up to step more fully into the collective.

(3) Start dwelling in the question Who do I want to be inside of the collective? and see if youre inspired to back up your insights with action.

The History of U.S. Elections (1964-2016)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 1 Jan 2018 07:54:00 -0800

[Bryce] To gain some historical perspective
on 2016, lets look back at the previous 13 presidential elections. In 1964, less than a year after the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy, the power of the Democratic Party was at its peak. President Lyndon Johnson had just signed the
historic Civil Rights Act into law in July.

The result? Johnson trounced the ultra-conservative Barry
Goldwater in the most lopsided popular vote margin in presidential election history. 1968 Was the most tumultuous election year
of the century. [King] Mine eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the lord! Both Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert Kennedy
were assassinated, and with protests raging over the war in Vietnam, LBJ chose not to
run for reelection. [Johnson] I will not accept the nomination
of my party for another term as your president.

The result was a major political realignment,
as Republican Richard Nixon took advantage of racial resentment. But the segregationist George Wallace - an
independent - was a major beneficiary, winning most of the deep south. [Wallace] Why dont you young punks get
outta the auditorium. The backlash was strong among whites over
the Democratic Partys embrace of Civil Rights and Johnsons ambitious Great Society
programs to fight poverty.

That realignment was on full display in 1972
as incumbent President Nixon destroyed his opponent, George McGovern, and won 49 states. News stories on the Watergate scandal that
would force Nixon to resign from office two years later were just beginning to break. The 72 election is also notable for the
attempt on the life of the Democratic frontrunner George Wallace, who was shot five times and
paralyzed from the waist down, ending his campaign. With the Republicans reeling from the fallout
over Nixon - [Nixon] I shall resign the Presidency.

1976 Was the only time in the 24 year-period
from 68-92 that a Democrat won the presidency. That candidate was deeply religious southerner
Jimmy Carter, who was - momentarily - able to switch the South back to Democratic control
in his narrow victory over Nixons successor, President Gerald Ford. In 1980, the Republican former governor of
California, Ronald Reagan offered a more optimistic vision for an American economy weakened by
high unemployment and inflation. [Reagan] Is there more or less unemployment
in the country than there was four years ago? The Iran hostage crisis was the nail in President
Carters political coffin, helping Reagan win more electoral votes than any non-incumbent
presidential candidate in history.

Four years later, Reagans Democratic challenger,
Walter Mondale, only managed to win his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia--which
has never voted Republican. Mondales uphill battle against a popular
sitting president was pretty much impossible from the start with the economy booming under
Reagan. Mondale did make some history by choosing
Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate, the first woman nominated to a major-party presidential
ticket. In 1988, the Republican torch was passed to
Vice President George HW Bush--who had spent most of his adult life serving the country.

To fend off Democrat Michael Dukakis, Bush
turned to the dark arts, unleashing a series of negative attacks against his opponent,
who failed to respond in kind. [Narrator] Dukakis not only opposes the
death penalty, he allowed first degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison. One was Willie Horton, who murdered a boy
in a robbery, stabbing him 19 times. While Bushs electoral college victory margin
was convincing, his too-close-for-comfort popular vote margin and underwhelming voter
turnout foreshadowed a tough road to reelection.

And in 1992, Bushs reelection was made
much tougher when he alienated his conservative base by breaking a campaign pledge against
raising taxes. [H.W. Bush] Read my lips: No. New.

Taxes. Bush shouldve been flying high after leading
a decisive American victory in the Persian Gulf War... [Frontline Narrator] The man often derided
as a political wimp had maneuvered his generals, his country, and the most world... But the economy dipped into recession, opening
the door for a young charismatic southern democratic governor named Bill Clinton.

Clinton and Independent Ross Perot, who ran
an incredibly strong third-party campaign, picked Bush apart and held him to just 37.4%
Of the popular vote. Clintons 43% was enough to give him a convincing
electoral college victory. Going into the 1996 election, Clinton was
very beatable after failing to enact his main target: health care reform. But the economy was booming, the world was
peaceful, and the Republicans nominated the uninspiring Bob Dole, a man 23 years older
than Clinton.

Ross Perot ran a second time, and his 8.4%
Again undercut the Republicans, cementing Clintons reelection, and making him the
first president since Woodrow Wilson to win two terms without crossing the 50% threshold
in the popular vote. The November 7, 2000 election between Clintons
Vice President Al Gore, and Texas Republican governor George W. Bush, was the most dramatic
- and controversial - since 1876. For the first time in 112 years the eventual
winner failed to win the popular vote.

The race came down to Florida, where Bush
led Gore by less than 1,000 votes, out of more than 5.8 Million cast. After more than a month of recounts and court
battles, the U.S. Supreme Court (in a 5-4 decision) awarded Floridas 25 electoral
votes, and the presidency, to Bush. Bushs 2004 reelection was defined by two
things: the war on terrorism.

[W. Bush] The people who knocked these
buildings down will hear all of us soon. And the war in Iraq, which Bush launched under
the false assertion that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein possessed nuclear and biological weapons. Senator John Kerry - the current U.S.

Secretary
of State - was the Democratic nominee. Kerrys critiques of Bush were undermined
by his vote authorizing the Iraq War, and a smear campaign to cast doubt on his record
as a Vietnam war hero. Bushs margin of victory was the smallest
ever recorded for an incumbent president and, just like his 2000 victory, was not without
controversy, as the results from Ohio were highly questionable after numerous voting
irregularities came to light. Going into the 2008 election, the stage was
set for a Democratic wave.

Bush and his Iraq War were deeply unpopular
with an American people yearning for change, opening the door for two historic candidacies. Barack Obama - a young, freshman senator from
the state of Illinois - burst onto the scene to challenge the junior senator from New York,
former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, for the Democratic nomination. The two superstars battled for an entire year,
debating more than 20 times. Fueled by the energetic support of young Americans,
commanding oratory, and a brilliant grassroots-driven campaign, Obama came from behind to narrowly
secure the nomination.

The Republicans chose Senator John McCain
as their nominee, a political moderate and former war hero. Recognizing the power of Obamas movement-oriented
campaign, McCain made a desperate play, tapping a little known Alaskan governor as his running
mate. But Sarah Palin quickly proved to be unqualified
in the eyes of most American voters, eroding McCains credibility. [Couric] Can you name a few? [Palin] I have a vast variety of sources
where we get our news too.

Alaska isnt a foreign country. [TV News Reporter #1] The stock market
is now down 21% [Reporter #2] Were now down 43%
[Reporter #3] I have never, live, looked at the DOW Jones Industrial board and seen
a 600 point loss. [Reporter #4] Who knows where this is going
to end up. I mean this is volatility we havent seen,
of course, since way before you and I were born, even before our grandparents.

You know, 1929. [Reporter #5] So almost everything there
completely wiped out. And the NASDAQ everything and more has been
completely wiped out. [Bryce]
With the economy collapsing on Bushs watch, and hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars
flowing into Wall Street banks to keep them solvent, Obama and his democratic party surged
to victory.

The election of the first African American
president turned a higher percentage of his fellow citizens out to vote than in any election
since the tumultuous 1968 campaign. [Charles Gibson] Barack Obama will be the
44th President of the United States. [Crowd cheering loudly]
[President-elect Obama] Its been a long time coming. But because of what we did on this day, in
this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

2012 Was defined by three things. President Obamas all-hands-on-deck approach
to rescuing the economy; the Republican Partys efforts to block Obama at all costs; and Obamas
signature achievement, the Affordable Care Act that dramatically reduced the number of
Americans without health insurance. With the economy recovering slowly, Obama
seemed beatable. But on May 2, 2011, the President announced
the death of Osama bin Laden, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, hunted by
the US Government for 10 years.

[President Obama] The United States has
conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda. The moment - celebrated as a victory in the
War on Terror - helped cement Obamas image as a formidable Commander-In-Chief. [Crowd singing national anthem] Gave proof
through the night, that our flag was still there. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
captured the Republican nomination.

[Mitt Romney] Too many Americans are struggling
to find work in todays economy. He was a capable opponent, but after making
hundreds of millions of dollars as a capital investor, he was labeled as a representative
of the increasingly vilified 1%. [Protesters chanting] Whose streets? Our streets! The Occupy Movement, led by protesters who
encamped at Zuccotti Park in Manhattans financial district, had focused the worlds
attention on social and economic inequality. In the end, Obama was carried by his best-in-history
political organization - still fully intact after his 08 campaign - and secured a larger-than-expected
reelection victory.

2016 Is set to be another historic, first
of its kind election for the United States. But will it be the first time we elect someone
who has never served their country before? Or the first time America chooses a woman
as its leader? Until next time, thanks for watching, and

The 2016 Election Wrap-Up The Daily Show

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 23:54:00 -0800

-(Laughter)
-But let's get straight into it. If this morning you
finally woke up from a coma, well, you might want to go back. NEWSMAN: The most stunning upset
in political history... NEWSMAN: 
It's Trump. Donald Trump will be the next president
of the United States. (laughter) You know what,
no matter how many times I hear that... It still doesn't seem real.

-WOMAN: Yeah.
-It still doesn't feel real. I mean, look at...
This is the newspaper today. -Look at that. Look at that.
-(Jeering) It looks...

It...
He can't hear you. It's a newspaper.
It doesn't matter. Like, it looks like a joke
from April Fools, you know? And even then,
people would be like, "That's not a funny joke, man." This-this entire result is...
It's sort of like Trump's hair-- I know it's real,
but my mind can't accept it. -(Laughter)
-It just...

You know? Because it looks like
he's wearing his hair backward. Like, everything...
Everything is backward. I mean, I don't understand
half of this. Hillary Clinton lost
by getting more votes.

No, seriously.
She lost by getting more votes. Trump got 200,000 fewer votes, but he won the presidency because he had
279 electoral votes. Because that's how it works
in America. You don't need the most votes, you just need
the electoral college.

So once again,
Donald Trump benefits from a bull (bleep) college. -(Laughter)
-And... And by the way... And by the way,
I'm not saying it's bull (bleep) because I'm sour or anything.

I'm just quoting
the president-- sorry, the president elect-- 
who said it himself. Yeah. There you have it.
Donald Trump calling it corrupt. And we did it,
we just went through his tweets.

And I'm sorry, Donald,
that's what happens when you get a new job--
people dig through your tweets. NOAH: I genuinely cannot believe
this has happened. Even the Trumps can't believe
that this happened. This was them last night
watching the results.

Look at those faces! Look at his face! Look at that man. That is the face of a man
whose bluff has been called and he's only holding a two. And now that face
will be the face that represents America
to the world. That is the face
that will address the nation after a tragedy.

That is the face
that will command the most powerful military
in the world. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan, Obama... And now... Trump.

(Laughter, jeering) One of these things
is not like the other. (Laughter) And if you're thinking
it's Obama because he's black, you probably voted for Trump. Donald Trump, however, did give
a victory speech last night, and, like most terrible things
in your life, it happened at 3:00 a.M.
On the streets of New York. I've just received a call from Secretary Clinton.

And I congratulated her
and her family on a very,
very hard-fought campaign. Hillary has worked... Very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt
of gratitude for her service to our country. -(Cheering, whistling, applause)
-I mean that very sincerely.

Aw. Say what you want
about Trump-- his reading has really improved. (Laughter) Yeah, a lot more presidential. And I'm gonna be honest
right now.

I was genuinely surprised by
the tone of this entire speech. Trump was gracious,
he was humble, he was compassionate. I'll tell you now,
if that guy ran for president, he also would have lost
to Donald Trump. With how vitriolic
this election has been, and with how much trash
Trump has talked, I was genuinely expecting his
speech to sound more like this.

(In Cartman's voice):
Nah nah nah nah nah nah. Nah nah nah nah nah nah. How would you like to suck
my balls? That's what I was waiting for. That is what I was waiting for. But I-I was,
I was honestly surprised. Donald Trump came out
and he was really great.

And I think what we need
to do now, is try and look
on the bright side, you know. Since Trump won the election, no one can deny that he has been a phenomenal president-elect,
right? It's been a great 19 hours. In fact,
I say we use this opportunity to start over with Trump. We should try.

Let's wipe the slate clean
and start with zero days that President Trump has gone
without an incident. And now one day
without an incident. Huh? Huh? One day. -Yay.
-(Cheering and applause) One day, people.

Now it's only 1,459 days to go. But look, um, even though
so much of yesterday felt like bad news, it wasn't a total buzz kill. TV REPORTER: Marijuana was
a big winner last night. Massachusetts approved measures
to legalize recreational pot. Four states did pass laws that let adults
smoke marijuana for fun.

Oh, my God, people are smoking
marijuana for fun. For fun, as opposed to people
who smoke it for work. Oh, for fun. You know, real quick,
can I just say right now, America is the most gangsta
country in the world.

Do you know how weird it is
to me that while you're voting
for president, there's also a question
on the ballot about weed? This is like someone's in there,
like, "Yes, I'm voting for
Donald Trump, and also, "yeah, I'd like some weed,
mm-hmm, I would like some weed. Yes, I do, yes, I do." I will say, though,
it's a great way to get young people
to the polls. They should do that
all the time. Add a party question
to every vote.

Yes.
"How do you feel about Brexit, and also, shots?" And if there's one guy
in America who could use a hit right now, it's soon to be former
president, Barack Obama. Because you know what they say, when they go low, we get high. I had a chance to talk to President-Elect Trump
last night, about 3:30 in the morning,
I think it was, to congratulate him on winning
the election. And I had a chance to invite him to come to the White House
tomorrow, to talk about making sure that
there is a successful transition between our presidencies.

That's when I knew it was real. That is the moment when I was
like oh, this is real. I also think that'll
be the first time.
