Tech Over Tea - LBRY Is The Future - Tech Over Tea #16 - feat CryptoHustler101

Episode Date: June 17, 2020

I was very excited to record this episode of Tech Over Tea on this weeks episode I have a very special guest, CryptoHustler101 who right now is the 6th biggest channel on LBRY. Originally I had planned for this to be a LBRY focused episode, however we got off track a lot and ended up talking about a lot of other crypto projects as well like Hex, Steem, Polkadot and a few others, hopefully you'll enjoy the show. ==========Guest Links========== LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@CryptoHustler101:8  Twitter: https://twitter.com/imcryptohustler ==========Purchase My Gear========== ► Buy Anything: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF ==========Support The Channel========== ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson ► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo ► BTC Wallet Address: 1Aokiv3pFQXUEmh2LbzZQAwxMvq6bpT2UN ► ETH Wallet Address: 0x80451867c86bdf08c3888d407c1e3fcb6add61ed ► LBC Wallet Address: bLRN9fm17sCexKfgbYqmMj5xskZF2ogpEh ==========Video Release========== 📚 LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@TechOverTea:3 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBq5p-xOla8xhnrbhu8AIAg DISCLOSURE: Wherever possible I use referral links, which means if you click one of the links in this video or description and make a purchase we may receive a small commission or other compensation.

Welcome to episode 16 of Tech Over Tea. I'm as always your host Brodie Robertson and today we have a special guest. We have Crypto Hustler who if you don't know if you're not on library is right now what are you seventh place on the leaderboard? Eighth place? Yeah seventh I believe. Jeez that is absolutely insane yeah it was a very short amount of time that that happened so i feel blessed how long have you actually been on the platform for um it's i believe the middle of december okay so around when i joined then okay yeah oh all right Started around the same. I think I already had my channel already existing over on YouTube. I had maybe 300, 400 subs. Then I ended up getting a shoutout, which boosted me up to like 2,500.

Nice. Your success on Lively has been way more than anything I've seen. I have, I think, 9,700 on my main channel and about 6K on this one. But you're at, what, 24, 25? Or have I lost count? 25,000? 1,000 subs.

Oh, I have 34,000? I stopped paying attention, did I? I don't know. Yeah yeah it wasn't that long ago it was 24 I get about like 5,000 a week right now that is actually insane those are

unheard of numbers on any other platform yeah I was I mean I was like the same similar content other people but you know i just you know a little pizzazz and throw a little character in there like everyone's kind of i mean not everyone but a lot of people are just they seem like they they have to be painted you know their picture has to be painted so well i have to be so like uh just it's just too perfect you know i'm like i'm just the way who i am like i just want to present it and then eventually i'll be working to those standards you know for myself and not expect others to have those standards for me well yeah if you're gonna

yeah if you're gonna be trying to make a better platform you have to just you know make the platform better for yourself you've got to be improving upon yourself don't worry about what other people are doing just make yourself better than what you were doing yesterday exactly yeah that's right yeah youtube just says you know it's just you're just a small minnow in a huge pond you know and i'm like i have no chance, you know? Especially for the sort of content you do. Like, I wouldn't have thought there would be so many.

Like, at least the older stuff you're doing where you were just doing the crypto updates, there's so many channels that do that already that trying to stand out doing that on somewhere like YouTube just isn't going to happen. No, no, yeah. It was just, yeah, it was just re-uploads essentially.

Contact people like, hey, can I put this up there? Yeah. I'm like, I can do that so much. I was like, now I start creating original content. Like, okay, well, what am I going to do? Crypto updates, eventually library. I'm like, well,

no one's doing library updates. It's always it's always oh, what's the price library? You know, then that's it, you know I'm like, well, there's a lot more going on than that. There's you know, I got Jeremy over here just like slaying away and he's just like Yeah, I'm always updating what Jeremy's saying. He's a lot more open than the library on Twitter. They're just kind of straightforward. He's really cutting deep.

So I really like that. Jeremy is someone we can look forward to really getting into the truth about stuff and not worried about what others have to say. Just seeing what he sees and his visions, it's hard not to follow that. I really like him as an individual,

as a person I can be around. To me, I look up to people like that. Someone I can see fight for the right reasons. Get in some situations where it's like, should I even be here?

Figure it out. I completely agree. Pitch an envelope. Sorry? He always pitches an envelope. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the

library Twitter is very cut and dry unless you start mentioning BitChute around them. Yeah, well, BitChute's

a little... I can never get any track. It's hard to get any tread on BitChute for

me, unless you pay for it, it seems like. I have, I think, nine subs on BitChute. Now I've been trying to push people over there. People are like, you should make a BitChute account. I'll go watch your content over there, and then no one goes over there. Especially with my content. Yours is probably the same.

You have to be able to read what's on the screen, and you can't do that in 480p video. Oh, really? It's 480p? Yeah, if BitChute isn't above 480p, they still don't have even 720p. Oh, that's horrible. That's why I get no traction out there. I'm like, this is... I don't even see a ballerina on there.

They go, hey, go see us on BitChute, as well as Library. I'm like, how? this place sucks i guess library does have a bit of the opposite problem where for a long time they have really it's been difficult to watch for some people just because of the the high bit rate video yeah yeah the the the bit rate was like way too high and people didn't have enough bandwidth to load it like it was really choppy for a very long time i agree that actually does take us into our first topic did you uh i don't know if you've been paying attention but on the discord a few people have been bringing up obviously the bitrate problem and someone's actually suggested a solution to

handle that and i would say it's actually probably a pretty solid solution. I want to kind of get your take on it. Okay. So what they're thinking is it's kind of the most, the simplest possible way. Oh, my mic's clipping. Why's my mic clipping? The mic shouldn't be clipping.

It's probably the simplest possible way you could deal with it. Basically, you have, when you go and upload the video the creator can say okay I want to upload in original quality or I want to have I don't know a 480p and 720p version and then that would just be basically You would up like the creator would literally just upload multiple versions the same video But they would all be transcoded inside of the app So as you just go and upload the video you can say okay

I want to support 480p and 720p and HD and obviously that would take longer to do but the creator is actually in control of that and All of the transcoding would then be done on your local system rather than having to be pushed to some server somewhere And then obviously I think the way they said to link them was basically just add be done on your local system rather than having to be pushed to some server somewhere and then obviously i think the way they said to link them was basically just add a suffix to the end of the name say this is the 480p version this is 720p version so on and so forth yeah i mean it's it's a it's a improvement i mean it'd be nice to have it as one you know option but you know i think they would end up linking them together so you could actually have a value selector,

but the way they would store them on the network is basically have them suffixed with the different version quality. So you could just jump directly to it if you wanted to, but you would also have a selector wheel. wanted to but you would also have like a selector wheel yeah okay yeah yeah but that seems fantastic i mean i i like they're doing that other people in other countries can't you know they can't watch my videos at higher rates so having that option to yeah there's it seems like a library does have a lot of people who are in places that just don't have uh i guess good internet connections i guess it's part of i guess it's part of what brings people to crypto if you're in a place that you don't really have much opportunity looking at something like crypto probably somewhere where you're going

to actually look towards at least that's how i feel about it. Yeah, it seems, you know, you get a lot of those, like, follow me, please. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of that, for sure. I'm like, I mean, that's fantastic. You know, these people are, it seems like they're in rural countries. I'm like, you know, they have an opportunity to, like, get free money by just watching videos or becoming a content creator. I'm like, you know, you never see that as much on YouTube. Like, some content creator from Africa that just is like, hey, man. Like, was it Clement?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's fantastic, you know? It's like, I don't know his whole story, but, you know, he seems like he's in Africa somewhere, you know? And, like, having someone, like may become something out of nowhere in the country, you know, it's like that's amazing You know, that's that's such a boring inspiring story than some guy in America like I was like, hey watch me drive my minivan that's been modified and Like off the off-grid living or something like that but I'm

like it's different you know the library has so much more opportunity to becomes more than YouTube that just like this conglomerate of you know oh you have to look and speak certain way or you have to have such high-grade production. Production has to be a certain level. It's like, oh, the quality of the video is not good enough. The message is clear, but it's like becoming a rapper, and then you don't have the right... You're not being introduced the right way,

or your beat is not good enough, but the lyrics are good. Like, you know, you just don't get that track, uh, tread or whatever it was. Yeah. I get what you're trying to say.

Yeah. Yeah. I just, I just don't get that, that, that, um, that spotlight,

you know, that's where library is like, you know, I'm sure at one point spot or, uh, you know, libraries is going to be like YouTube ish, you know,

it's like, we're all like way up here. And then like, these people are like, Hey, I'm sure at one point, libraries is going to be YouTube-ish. We're all way up here, and then these people are like, hey, guys. You don't know how YouTube is. No matter what you do, you can try to fight against it, but there's always going to be a, I guess,

what would be the best way to describe it? A collection of power towards the top. As the original people are there, and they stick around like if they stick around and they keep growing well obviously you're naturally going to be a bigger and bigger channel one day if library keeps growing you'll have 100 000 subs so like 200 000 so on and so forth and obviously there will be that bit of a distance between it but i think one of the strengths that library has is uh that it at least right now you don't have maybe in the future it will change as you said but at least right now there's not that same sort of culture where if you're going to do a vlog for example it has to be on like a three thousand dollar camera with a five hundred dollar lens

right you can just be some dude walking around with your phone on a on a stick and be like this is my vlog Yeah, I love that like and people as long as they have just a little bit of LBC and just support their channel there They can become trending, you know, like it's just you know, that's huge opportunity for such a small entry, you know like it's just you know there's huge opportunity for such a small entry you know um and that's how it was with me that's how i became so you know like it just like started speeding up you know of course with crypto i happen to you know be able to purchase large quantities luckily yeah that's help it was like, now you can just support your channel. But then it became more than that. It's like, now I'm able to support other people. I get to help the people that I saw come up with me in the last couple of years in crypto.

And then they're making videos and they come over. What was it? Crypto Slow. I'm like, this he was having trouble getting traction on YouTube it come to the library and he's like hey man I'm trying to do a giveaway that's what I did early on this I did a giveaway and I was like okay well I can I can earn more on the giveaway than I do than giving away that's the secret about giveaways you're not actually losing anything I was like hey 100 LBC

100 LBC hey guys like I'll see who do like oh a 2000 subscriber giveaway giving away

2000 LBC or 200 LBC or whatever they end up giving away and it's like no I'll make that back in a day

like I will make that back by uploading this video it's crazy I'm like this is this is well i got like thousands of followers just in a very short amount of time with that so i was like oh maybe i could do this and then once i get traction i'm like i don't need to give giveaways necessarily like that's fine i don't mind giving away i still give away lbc or what you know just like hey great video you know oh yeah i still see people perfectly fine but yeah exactly um but yeah

now it's like actually i didn't get to create last week's episode but i did say i wasn't gonna make like an episode every week but uh you know support your fellow content creators so let's see whoever has that you know the you know diamonds in the rough and some gems out there and really highlight them it's nice yeah i don't have anywhere near as much lbc as you do but i have been like with that now that i've got to the point where i have enough to perfectly fine uh support both my channels uh i've also been trying to put supports on other channels as well like like there's a couple of channels with a couple hundred subs where I'm like, you're actually making really good content and you deserve a bit more traction than you have.

Yeah, exactly. There's another crypto channel, I think he got a bit of recognition from the library Twitter, because he started doing library first publishing. His name was Aureus Denarius. You might have seen the tweet about it. Did you watch any of his content? Because it's actually pretty good. Fantastic. I'm like, this guy is just like, yeah.

It's the punctuation. It reminded me of early 2000s history channel. I'm like really enamored by his voice and his information it's like whoa dude that's crazy yeah i definitely want to highlight him in some fashion because yeah his production is really good obviously there's gonna be tons of content where i don't know i wouldn't say it's I wouldn't say they're not trying but there's a lot of content where

they don't really have that spark where they're they're obviously making the content but they're not really trying to do something different yeah exactly there's a lot of people emulating each other without any uniqueness to it

but you know that's where it starts, you know? Of course, yeah. Like, I would make videos. I'm just like, yeah, you know, and it's like, well, the crypto videos are all similar, but, you know, it's either finding new projects or just having a twist on things, you know? There's only so much you can say about a chart going in a certain direction i know right it's like oh price of bitcoin is sideways still okay for like a few hours i was like update 10 10k bitcoin and like as i was doing the chart it's all going down

i looked at that video coming out i I was like I looked at the chart I was like oh are you sure it's a 10k I was like it's 10,300 and it's 10,200 I was like it's 9,500 okay nevermind just look at the Australian dollars it's always above 10,000 oh man I was doing uh I was doing this in the middle of May Just look at the Australian dollars. It's always above $10,000. Oh, man. I was doing... I was in the middle of the night.

I was looking at different prices. The ounce of gold towards just money in general. I found out that the Kuwaiti dollar is like... I think it's dinar, I believe. It's the highest valued currency. I was like, what? No one talks about it. They're like, what? I mean, no one talks about it. They're like, US dollars and the treasury.

Yeah, everyone, come on, petro dollar, come on. And then they're like, Kuwaiti dollar. Wait, they had like six recessions and their dollar's way valued. It's like 700 of their money for one ounce of gold. Like, no one says anything about that. I noticed that you were getting a bit more excited your mic did start clipping a bit is there were you able to actually turn it down a little bit more yeah i stopped getting excited no that's that's good i just wanted to come across well

it's like settle down boy um yeah just you know that's the reason it's like, just, you know, that's the reason, like, in crypto, you know, it all starts with the greed, and then it's like, oh, okay, well, there's fundamentals, you know? And then learning about the monetary system, and

wow, this is, like, quantitative easing, and this is how governments are just playing this, like, credit card system card system it's like swipe swipe swipe we'll pay you back and then yeah then countries are actually trying like the Kuwaiti is like

they had six recessions we can't accept a recession in America no it's the same here it's starting to enter into a recession as well and we're just trying to fight as hard against it as we can but it's not going to happen, it's going to happen

just get over it, other countries do it all the time and they re-evaluate everything figure out what their reserves are we're good, you know we don't need to be Venezuela or anything let's not go that bad. I'm good with not having to pay for

a loaf of bread with a trolley of fucking money. Right? And my bison's up there. We can stop it. Before we get to that point, we can stop it. If we get to that point, I'm happy with a currency

reset. Any other reason, no. We don't need a currency reset, but if we're going to get to that point. I'm happy with a currency reset any other reason though We don't your currency reset, but if we're gonna go to the point where we're just buying with trolleys of money that I think we're good I think we can agree that that's a low. We don't need to hit Exactly I agree. It's like people are so blindsided I'm like we literally lose 10% of our money every year Okay, and it's like that price of milk is now $3. And it was $2.50 last year. Like $2.15 or something.

It's like, oh, no, no. We're getting paid. We're getting paid $16 an hour. Yeah, but now you have to pay like $5 more for everything, if not $20. If not $100. And your rent's up now and gas shouldn't be over any dollars because it's a negative and and we're still paying two three dollars or a gallon it's like it's hard to explain to people that don't see that you know and learning with crypto you see the fluctuation you know the volatility you understand you know and then i, you understand, you know,

and then I started getting into gold and silver and then I collected gold and silver. And I'm like, yeah, there's, you know, there's intrinsic value with gold and silver as usage as well as, you know, well, crypto has, I believe, more value than that, but hard assets are important too. Yeah, for sure. But at the same time, it's like's like well crypto is a hard asset in in a sense you know but uh can we see that as a sustainable off-grid living aspect maybe not like crypto if we don't have electricity or internet but the big issue with crypto is if we hit the

there are if we ever get some massive solar flare that knocks out the grid crypto becomes worthless because it's just gone yeah it's like please please one computer have like every node possible

I was just like can we have like a catalog of all the bitcoin transactions for the last five years so what i'm saying is uh back up your wallets and stick them in a bunker yeah i'm just like anti-static bags for everything like yeah that's the one thing is like i just I just write everything down and print it out or something. I get a tattoo, one side of the words.

If you wanted to start getting donations when you walk around, just start tattooing QR codes over your body for your Bitcoin address and your LBC address? Yeah, I remember this one guy. It was like, I think it was on the news or something, or a football game or, you know.

It was like 2013. He had a site with, you know, the Bitcoin QR code. Oh, yeah, I did hear about that. Like, what the hell? Like, I feel like that should be something like, you know, like homeless people, you know, panhandling. Like, have a QR code out there, too, you know? Like, all this coronavirus stuff.

Why wouldn't we be like, okay, QR. Like, perfect. I have Bitcoin now. You know, they're like, can't do anything with it right now. But at some point. Yeah, at some point, maybe. Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's like where where is bitcoin gonna go is it gonna go like this astronomical like oh my god more than gold i'm not the kind of bitcoin hope i'm not really hopeful about bitcoin i see it

i see it as a currency store that That's it. My problem with Bitcoin is the problem that crypto has had for a very long time and that it's not used for anything. That's what I see different about not just a library, but a lot of the new projects that are coming out,

they're being... The project's coming out and some platform to use it is also coming out as well. And it's got some use for it rather than just being here is the token, as well and it's got some use for it rather than just being here is the token speculate it till it goes to the moon for real yeah that's that's the project like people are starting to realize like the tech has more value than the current

you know in the end yeah and yeah i mean speculate i'm in this like unit swap speculation aspect right now it's like oh my god glenn shambles oh my god 100x it's hex like i don't know anything about hex but just just reading basic things about hex it just sounds like a scam like oh it's going to go 100x it's like okay it was crazy I got out way too early hey man I should have had some money in it

but just if you're someone from the outside of it what they say about it it just sounds like a scam no matter how much you love Hex just listen to what the Hex people say about it and just sounds like a scam no matter i no matter how much you love hex just listen to what the hex people say about it and you you know what i mean yeah it's it's really scammy it's all based on greed you know it's not there's no actual tech around it like the community around them are making the tech and i get that that's great

but it's all like proof of weekends and, you know, staking. Not even good staking. Like, yeah, proof of weekends staking, 10% in, 10% out kind of thing, and referral codes. And, you know, it has its place for anyone that wants to be in the scam and know that someone's going to lose, you know. But, yeah, I like

proving weak hands to an extent, but I like staking. And that's what I liked about Polkadot. They have such great staking and the governance and the census around it. There's a lot more than just

you're staking your money and then someone's going to lose. No, we're all winning. The stake is two weeks, so if you unstake, you have to wait for a bit. Then you actually are part of a community, an actual community with your voting.

Or Hex is just that. It's like shill everything. That's why I have my shill report. I'm like, shill report with next unit swap, whatever. I'm not even getting into some of these projects. For a second, I took one down. I was like,

I don't know if I want to... I don't want to look bad. If something goes bad here, but I'm just going to bring it out and be like, these are things that are going on. You don't have to get into it, but if there's too scammy, don't get into it. Hex 2T did it, oh,

10 times. I didn't think that. I got four times my money or five, and I was like, oh, all right. Then it went up like 10 more times. I'm like, ah, fuck. It might be a scam, but if you can make money from it, hey. Yeah, that's the thing.

I don't know how scammed I want to get or how far I'm going to get into winning on the scams. As long as you get out before you're stuck in a pyramid scheme, you're good. That's the problem. That's like arbitrage. Oh, man, that didn't do well. They took all our money. They's like arbitrage. Oh man, that didn't do well. They took all our money

It took like 15,000 dollars Yeah, I'm like you guys are horrible And it was the you know last centralized You know pyramid scheme I was involved in so I was like I'm done, you know But it turned out actually ended up by using some of the money i gained from them to buy a piece of property so i was like not bad yeah i spent like eight thousand dollars on a piece of property like little tiny park i own a tiny park somewhere

he has in the neighborhood they're all like to start park i'm like actually own that to start park i'm like actually own that you guys don't know that though um i'm actually still fairly new to crypto myself so i'm okay i think it's only been the last like year or so that i've been really looking into it because like i am i'm 21 i'm 22 right now sorry not 21 um so as like bitcoin was getting big, I still didn't have any money to buy it. So I saw that like going up and down and be like, is this something I should get into? And then there's a guy at my work who ended up convincing me to buy some stuff.

I was like, this is okay. I can see where this is going. And then I've recently started looking into staking as well because I think that that's probably the best way to move forward if I'm going to be actually increasing my money rather than just relying on the speculation

yeah that's the biggest thing staking is like the highest amount of speculation because it just draws in that people to be like, we can just print money. But depending on the staking mechanism, it's also sustaining the security aspect of the network.

If you're a node or master node or whatnot, it has its own abilities, but when it comes to proof of staking, it's like, well, unless you're going to be in there for at least three to six months, and that's assuming the price of that token is going to stay up, you're not going to win.

You're going to lose a 10-20% of your stack. That's the biggest thing. I get in early, and money. Oh, you know, I'm already like Okay, I'm sorry profit, but I'm losing 10% of that It's okay, you know, but there's last little move I made it was like watching my theory and just go down I'm like Ethereum just go down like Like five like overnight like oh my god

But that's to be it's like I got a little bit ice You know, I have my like out of my Kusama there's like a chain X they're like staking for polka dot but those are long-term projects like those are built to the ground up interoperability they're gonna be the the light chains between Bitcoin and theurium and like and Kusama is like the canary network of polka dot like the proving ground they say that the testing but it's made net so but yeah those are like long-term projects for developers and um interoperability in general so but then yeah i took i took all of my basically absorbed all my money from all the proof of weekends projects

i was like i'm gonna put it into another unit swap project and you know yeah uniswap is is coming up like it's crazy it's it's cool to see that you see the liquidity and you know even if no one gets into it like the value of seeing the numbers and actually being on chain um instead of just like you know centralized exchange where you can like you know kind of try to arbitrage the value of of whatever currency and you know and then they're like oh you can't deposit or withdraw because you know the price is huge fluctuation on centralized exchanges and they realize it and they're like no no no like uh doesn't stop you in your tracks. I'm like, damn, man. You make like, you know, a 5% increase in your Bitcoin or something, you know. Just small arbitrage.

That's how it was like in 2018. Like, because the price of Bitcoin was just down, like, just gradually going to $3,000 at that point. There was a lot of arbitraging to be done. So, it was kind of nice. there was a lot of arbitraging to be done so it was kind of nice but there was this scam ICO scams like 2017 and 18

and that was just I got wrecked from that I can make a thousand percent you're not okay Will you're like you're pulling on my green stream you're pouring on my green stream,

bro. You're promising paradise and I haven't seen it yet. And those were great, but the thing was getting out. Yeah, absolutely. And being centralized. Dogs gone again.

Dogs. Anyways. I know, I have to relocate the projections here in my house I have like a studio outside yeah I'm setting up so yeah I bought a tiny house so I was like got that up yeah

I'm gonna use my office slash you know studio I have this very small bedroom. I physically cannot move this chair backwards. My bed is right behind me. I mean, at least it's like, you know, it's simple, you know? I like it, you know?

Or I'm like, should I go to my greenhouse? I was like, maybe I'll go to my greenhouse and then my dogs will be like, never mind. I'm going to use someone's room in my house or whatever. Dogs will bark, I'll have to stop them at some point. My dog doesn't start going off as well

because there's a yappy thing next door as well and she sometimes likes to fight with that. Oh. So yeah, how long have you been in crypto? I think I've been looking at it for a year and a half or so but I don't think I've bought anything really until about a year ago I would say. So I'm still fairly new to it all right like early 2019 or like mid uh i would say mid or so uh yeah that's when the uh plus token ponzi sold out at the top of bitcoin 13 13 14 000 like it's going up! And I'm like, no! I'm like,

what? And I didn't know what was happening. I'm just like, yeah, Bitcoin's going up. It's going to keep going up forever. And I'm like, oh no. I've never been a Bitcoin maximalist at all. It's just for the greed. I feel like it's the gold 2 greed i feel like it's it's

yeah with gold 2.0 aspect like it's it's for the old people you know like i need to transition my wealth to gold oh no i'm gonna go into bitcoin and then you know i get it it has like it it's ideology of the sound money but it's so clunky and so slow and like i guess if you want to equate it to gold yeah but it's not like your transition can be reversed you know like we're gonna talk about um bitcoin maximals let's just bring it back to to library you know the reason that i brought you on the show we're gonna talk about prices going up. Yeah. That was perfectly fine. A few weeks back when the price went up from, what was it, like, two cents up to six cents,

everyone was going mental on the Discord and on, like, the actual library video platforms. Every day, they're like, it's hit three cents. It's hit four cents. It's hit five cents now. Oh my god, is it going to hit 6 cents? And then Yeah. Yeah, I was making videos the whole

way. I'm like, it's 4 cents and 5 and you know, it's fun, you know, to be like right there on the forefront of the price going up. Like, hey guys, this is it, you know. We're going to go to 10 cents. Actually, I don't think in any of my videos I was like hey guys this is it you know we're gonna go to 10 cents i actually i don't think in any of my videos i was like 10 i was just like as it was going

oh there were a couple of people i saw who were like lbc is going to a dollar like they're like dollar moon yeah there's not one guy it's like flames he earned a dollar I'm sorry I don't I don't know I mean in my mind it's worth a dollar yes it's worth more than a dollar it's so much more value than money wise but

an actual value yeah I feel like a dollar doesn't seem unreasonable you know at some point especially now the platform's been getting better, it's been much easier to actually bring creators over. Early on, I was trying to bring people over, and it was just, it was difficult, because I saw it and I was like, oh, it's a cent,

and you're going to get paid way less than you're going to be on YouTube. Oh, they're in here now. Again, getting bombarded for saying it. All right, see ya. Anyways, yes. Sorry. Right. It was difficult to bring creators over, especially with a lot of the early problems that were happening with the platform as well.

It was like, oh, people really couldn't watch videos and you're hardly getting paid anything for videos, especially before ViewTips. I joined, I think, the month before Vue Tips started. So, yeah. So it was actually pretty bad before that point because you would get basically nothing from uploading videos

because no one had any LBC. Oh, okay. I think they used to have Vue Tips and they cancelled them and they brought them back. And I joined just before they brought them back at this current time. Yeah, it's just like um, how are these like previous content creators have so much LBC? Besides if they bought it. Back when some of the early guys were doing it, it was 1 to 100.

1 to 100. Oh, there's like Bitcoin mining here. Like 50 Bitcoins at a time. Yeah, I'm like looking at Richard Harris coaching. I'm like, man, he has like over a million, you know, starting out. And then it's like, okay, now Bombard has one and a half. Yeah. You know, but yeah, I'm like, this is great. But yeah, having no view tips was like, you know.

It definitely hurts when they break. Yeah, I know. I'm like, Jiggy Tong, help, please. He's like, it's the blockchain, you know. They'll come back. I'm like, oh man, I'm like $10, $20 less here today or something. I get a lot of view tips, but I can't even imagine what you're getting because I think mine, before the viewtip halving,

I was on about $15,000, $16,000. Oh, yeah. I was on the road to making about $100,000. Yeah. As a test, I made $10,000 the first three first three days this month and then it did that having like i'm gonna have to really pump out videos i have been sorry yeah oh no no i was just like yeah that that it really really puts a drag on thing but it's okay it's like you know no, well, the thing is, it's still above YouTube monetization.

That's the thing. Yeah. Yeah. I've been trying to work out what the numbers actually change to. So they did halve the actual viewtip, but I wanted to see if it would actually be an effective halving on the actual amount you get per month. It seems to be roughly an effective halving.

So whatever you're making last month you're going to be on whatever half of that is so mine's about 7,500 8,000 ish yeah I'd probably make uh the average without really excessively I think it was 50,000 I was making yeah I made 56 I made 56, I believe, this month just on tips and then all the extra content creator bonuses. I got both the $3,000 and $4,000 the same month. For anyone who's listening who's not a library guy,

this is 56,000 tokens, not dollars. Yeah, 56,000 tokens. A token's about 3 cents right now, so not $56,000, but that's still a lot. Yeah, it's like a job. I'm getting paid like $2,000, $3,000 a month, and

it's fantastic. I don't know how they do it on YouTube. They're like, oh, we're making $5,000, but they have millions of views. I'm like, well, in my mind, 10,000 views is like 100,000 views. I mean...

I can't talk for bigger channels, but I'm on 6,700 on YouTube right now. And last month, I made $150. I mean, that's pretty good for having not that many followers like yeah I also do pump out videos every single day though yeah of course yeah that's where it's like I come out like five today you know not today you upload way too much if you upload on i think that's why youtube wouldn't like you they don't like if you do any more than one video a day you upload yeah if if you do more than one video a day your channel will get punished for it there's lots of weird algorithm things on youtube like that because

what happens is uh people are less likely to watch a second video that day I don't know why it's like that but that yeah you kind of get pushed down the algorithm if you upload too much oh okay so that's what you want like a second channel yes that's why I have this podcast channel oh this is on too? It's on YouTube and on... Actually, yeah, it's YouTube and Library right now. So Library uploads first. I'm only on 100 subs on YouTube with this channel.

Oh, great. So you can sync it from Library to YouTube, right? I'm not doing it just yet, but I will be doing that because Jiggy did send me through the links about it. Yeah, I need to talk to him more about that. Yeah, if you just send him a message about it, he'll probably let you in because obviously

one of the bigger channels. So I'm sure he'll be perfectly fine letting you join it. But I guess you will kind of be stress testing it with how many videos you upload. I'm fine. I don't expect YouTube to be any of importance to me. Oh, no, you're going to stress test the library to YouTube sync. Right, right. Yeah, of course.

Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, because I've seen that and I'm like I don't have anything on YouTube really, so I was like YouTube library was kind of nonsense to me. Like, oh, three videos. I got other videos, but it was more just like,

I freestyle rap or I make beats. I was like, oh, yeah, I make beats. And then that doesn't go so far. So you were making content before you came to Library then? Yeah, I made beats and, well yeah it's just mostly beats and i kind of freestyle rap i'm not that great like i'm okay i'm okay you're better than i am i guarantee it yeah i'm not trying to expect too much but i figured you know at some point i'll branch out like oh i make beats too.

Do all these other things. I'm not just some crypto guy, but I do want to become like one of the first like good, like okay crypto rappers, like on library. Is that a segment that has a lot of people in it?

Right? That's what I'm saying. I say I'm the best because I'm saying. I'm not going to make you say I say I'm the best because I'm the early one. There's a couple. There's a guy from Camp Golem. There's no one that's specific crypto rap. They rap and then they make a song about crypto.

Right. I want it to be strictly crypto rap. I thought that would be pretty cool. Incorporate a library or something in there so i thought that would be pretty cool but you know incorporate library or something in there like i thought that would be nice um but yeah so so library let's talk about library how do you actually make how did you make your way over to this platform because i the way i got here basically i'll give my story first so i basically just got like harassed by mh and brendan in my comment section until i joined

the platform they found my channel and were like hey you should come check out library hey you should come check out library hey you should come check out library i was like okay you come check out library? I was like, okay, I'll check out your stupid platform. And I went over there, I was like, oh, MinutePhysics is here. 3Blue1Brown, Tim Paul. How did I not know about this platform already? What's going on? And there was all of these channels, like Brian Lunduk and a bunch of other channels I already knew about. I'm like, why is no one talking about this?

Because as soon as like those people started joining bit shoot everyone started chilling it but no one mentioned anything about library i joined just before the wave of a bunch of people talking about it like i was riding that wave as that was happening and judging by when you said you joined, you would be roughly around the same time, yeah? Yeah, December. Yeah, actually, was it Trevon James, actually? He was talking about it in his videos. I've been following him for the last year or two years at this point.

And yeah, he was like, yeah, make crypto videos over there, and then checked it out, and I'm like, this is great. Like, this is some new stuff. And it was still, like, in December, it was still like... We were at a 7th of a cent back then, weren't we? The what?

Oh, we see, it was a 7th of a cent, wasn't it? A 7th of a cent, wasn't it? Ah, 7th of a cent. Oh, in December. Yeah, I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even pick up any at that time. Oh, okay.

Yeah, that's unfortunate. I'm like, oh, now it's like 3 cents. Yeah, I put $300 in it at that point. So that's how I got most of my start. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, I picked it up after it went down this last time then uh not this the time before anyway lowest amount but anyways um

yeah so yeah i heard he was talking about it i'm like this is great you know i have a lot of crypto content that not a lot of people are paying attention to like polka dot and like this whole wave interoperability blockchains and yeah it just worked out but yeah yeah I guess smooth and you know and then I seen some of the people like does a I or a owl he's like he just makes videos of him cooking and I'm like, really? I can do anything at this point I'm filming my dog play fetch and my fire I'm burning in my backyard

like crypto in the garden you know, so I can just put up literally anything and then anything with crypto behind it is going to give me traction at first and kind of go down the line you do have that benefit, you's being called Crypto Hustler you can just stick your name on anything, people will click it

yeah I've been like working on this name for a while like for the last year or so pop up in some random chat rooms or on Telegram or wherever like yeah I'm crypto host

and they're like yeah this guy and now I actually have some like you know some clout like yeah I'm actually a content creator guys see we got library they're like it doesn't count like come on it does

it's getting closer to counting more people are counting. Super close. I mean, the people, you know, my family are finally trying to... So I'm like, come on, just watch me. They haven't seen any of my videos.

They're like, it's not YouTube. Like, come on. When they see my YouTube, not them, but anybody, they're like, oh oh you have like 16 subscribers like you're nobody like yeah that's the one thing about like it was like in the chat rooms here on discord i'm like hey it's cryptos you know not necessarily who i am but like hey can i get some they're like no you're no one i'm like do you know who i am

that's so like i think with me i because I'm always helping out in the Discord, everyone recognises me there. But when you pop up, even people who should know who you are, who either work for the team or are people who are managing that Discord, when they're just like, oh, stop asking for help.

You do know this is the seventh biggest creator on the platform. He is the biggest library first creator. What do you, how do you not know who this person is? Like, it's your job to know

who this person is. Yeah. I mean, I try to put my time into getting to know everyone. Like, you know, I don't know all the devs,

but you know, still working on that. No need to throw any names out there, but there's a couple of people in that Discord who probably shouldn't have as much power as they should, or as much power as they do. I agree.

They're just, yeah, I'm like, oh, you know, my rewards are stopping. Like, please help me. And they're like, get out of here. You don't need help. Stop asking about rewards. Yeah, maybe it's your fault. No, it's not.

I didn't do anything wrong. There's no DCMA strikes on me. There's no, hey, some infringement on your accounts. I get that if that's copyright, but no, I don't. You know?

Yeah, there's a tagline yeah they're just saying anything about rewards just you're not you're not allowed to talk about them that is one of the things that has been annoying me like there are some changes that have happened very like literally today uh i don't know if you saw it there was a blog post that library posted i think like an hour before this um but an hour before we started recording I can't say words did you see the latest blog post from library I haven't though

I will send it to you because they're finally addressing the problem with rewards and addressing the problem with it not being a long term solution right yeah I should have saved the link to it yeah

Thomas always says that I'm like hey rewards he's like it's not going to be forever I'm like oh okay that's obviously nonsense you're going to have a reward system yeah how do we expect everyone to give us

tips? I get that. High expectation. Where is it? Future of Monetization and Creative View Rewards. So, how do I do this?

There we go. Cool. I can show this on the screen because we have the technology. So basically they're talking about what's happening currently with the viewtips and there's a big talk about what the actual end state of library is which I think is something they haven't been addressing at all. They've just been like nope when rewards are over we're not telling you what's happening then you're just gonna have to find out when rewards are over we're not telling you what's happening then you're gonna have to find out when it happens but they're finally talking about what they're actually doing

so their end state is viewers buying content which fine i can accept that uh fans donating sure we're gonna keep the tip system don't have a problem with that uh a membership system like you'd see on like YouTube or something like Twitch, badges, things like that. So you could sell, I guess, like, you know how Twitch has their subscription system and you can get like special emojis and whatever. You can have like some way to sell that and also advertisements. So when users don't want to pay, which I think is something that is going to be really, really important, because as you said

you can't really rely on the tipping system when you don't have that income in the platform yeah it's going to be a stretch like assuming people are wanting to have like some subscription aspect

I mean I don't know obviously the current the current reward system can't last in the state it's in they're just hemorrhaging money yeah it's especially as the platform gets bigger they're gonna hemorrhage even more yeah it's gonna be a half of a half you can be like 0.5 rbc for every like that's all right i wouldn't complain about that if we go back up to six cents yeah exactly and that's the thing is like it still has that space for value so and and the more you know intrinsic value and less uh a cut on the supply then yeah it's going to go up

a big thing I didn't want to talk about in this was the sketch of a new reward system basically what they want to do is instead of just having an infinite supply of LBC that could be given out every week they want to have a fixed pool so

like a lot of other platforms do that as well a lot of them base it off of the mining pool. But I guess what they're going to do is base it off of the number of verified views, and then split that up amongst obviously the creators who get more verified views per week. Which I think is definitely better than being... In the current state, if I was to upload a video video to library and it just got like a hundred thousand verified views Like obviously that should be rewarded but if that happened multiple times that would very very quickly eat up the rewards pool And I think they see that

Yeah I mean I like that it would be more distributed you know that's important to give everyone a fair chance um you know that goes with like me like being able to like or not just me but library being able to allocate supports and yeah and more for the platform um yeah i think that's a good thing, it has more long-term solutions. Obviously, we're not going to see, like, we saw early on with, I think with the previous version of the rewards, it was like a 10x YouTube monetization

or something ridiculous like that. Yeah. Which obviously is not sustainable. No. I can't get it, like, you know, to really get us to start using the platform and like drawing that and yeah i mean anyone that was early on really went one on yeah getting that on the lbc but yeah it's like it's not sustainable like it's you know i don't i don't know when this is going to

end for the tipping or not tipping but the program. Well, they're supposedly at 70% of the allocated pool for rewards. And what did they say they've given out this month? I know they gave a number. So last month they spent $3.5 million million and the total pool is 300 million. So if that just stayed at what it currently is, that would last a while, but it is growing and that's the problem. So I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the year they were giving out 10 million LBC per month. Which is very much not sustainable. Because that would only be three years. Yeah, that seems like a lot.

What's the supplies? Billion-ish? Just for the rewards pool, they'd allocated 300 million for that. Oh yeah, it ain't gonna last long. Yeah, no. Wow. Yeah, in less than three years. Which,

if they didn't end up doing something to replace it, there's a lot of other platforms that are happy to swoop in and take the library's place. All of them are just waiting for the rewards pool to dry up. Like, you've got platforms like Ste steam it you've got platforms like bit tube they're all just like hey library can your rewards pool run out because we will take your spot now

yes i mean i bit shoot just doesn't i don't know this doesn't have it for me uh steam it BitChute just doesn't, I don't know, just doesn't have it for me. Steemit, the Backscratcher, Trail. Yeah, I don't think it's a good platform. Well, Steemit, my problem is it has five passwords, which automatically means that no one outside of crypto is going to use it.

I know, right? It's like, oh, use your active password. Use your private key. That's way too technical for most people. No one's going to use that. It's cool. It's certainly cool. It's secure, but you have to, I guess,

give up a certain level of security to make a platform that people actually can really use. Yeah, that's why I like libraries. They're platform first and blockchain second when it comes to coming out with the idea of having a platform to be utilized

for a consumer base. And that's where people don't have to learn about blockchain so much. With Hive and Steemit, it's like, oh yeah, let me... You've got your Steem tower, and you've got these five keys, and that's already too much.

Yeah. Let me power down for the next eight weeks. It'll take me two months to get my Steemit back. This sucks. I'm like Justin Sun trying to like control that also doesn't help so like let me get everybody i know to take all the steemit allocated to become like the whatever person i forgot who they were they were like they you know forked in

came high I was grateful people had a large quantity of steam in but there was a lot of people that were not like they didn't let them get transitioned over because they liked certain

like whoever was a part of the Justin Suns people get transitioned over because they liked certain like Whoever was a part of the Justin Sons People like people were like unfairly like put in this category just because they liked the one of the people that defected or something and like that doesn't make sense like I get it was like you know one of Justinin's son's people and like it clearly was trying to fight against the community then i get that but yeah everybody else just went over the hive and i'm like hive is like the same thing i'm sure there's like a

back scratcher and whatever trail like i i you know i was like oh yeah you know, I was like, Oh yeah, you know, get so much steam and so much whatever. And then you follow whoever back scratcher. I don't know how it works. It's it's what is it? It's, it's not proof of stake. It's a delegated proof of stake DPOS. I believe like, I don't know. It's a lot better. You get the nominate validators instead of just like... It's just so confusing with the delegated proof of stake.

I still don't really get how it works. I think this is the problem with a lot of the crypto platforms. They put too much of the crypto first. Yeah, it's way too techy for mass adoption. For all the criticisms I have of LBRY and their user interface, they do hide away a lot of the crypto stuff. Staking is pretty much the only crypto-y thing that you need to know about. Anything else you can just ignore.

Exactly, yeah. Like tips you don't even need to know about crypto it's like i have this token and like platforms like twitch have already gotten people used to donating tokens so that's not even really that weird for people nice yeah exactly yeah that works and to me yeah having some type of token like it's like buying some pepsi where it says you want to earn cap coin Like sweat going Yeah, so yeah, I do enjoy that it's not so like put in your face like this is crypto this is you know volatile price and like you know even though we all kind of like i still see if you're going to be a content creator you need to at least

keep that in your mind but as like a a regular viewer you could give you could like install library on someone's computer like on your mom's computer and be like here this is library you can watch videos in here and she doesn't need to know a single thing about library she doesn't need to know a single thing about crypto you can just click on a video the video plays and that's all you need to know that's like brave browser i just have everyone connected to my my content creator or whatever account i'm like yeah donate at least 10 to 20 bats to my account i'm like i'll just take all your bats just keep watching videos and keep going to unsecured websites so you can get more ads don't do that

there's a slight problem i have with bat and okay so bat obviously brought a lot of people who had no idea about crypto into crypto but the problem is they brought them all into the ethereum network and now all of these people think that everything is an ethereum token and i don't know if you pay attention to the library discord every other day someone's like hey can we get metamask support for lbc it's like it's not an ethereum token no no i noticed that anything that's built on Bitcoin does have ability to have even more value. And what I see is built on Bitcoin, like, so like, you know, Dash and like, who was the other one? Like, I think Dash was the only other one I know that is doing good. Oh, wait, there's Particle, which is similar to Monero.

We have RingCT transactions. So, yeah, anything that seems like all built on Bitcoin has more long-term value in those senses outside of Ethereum. Ethereum is just kind of like, oh, what's another layer solution aspect or greed, essentially, or Uniswap liquidity. I think the thing that Ethereum has is

it has that tech stack, and that's probably what's going to keep it alive and keep it around. Yeah, that's where the Polkadot, the creator, he was the original creator of Ethereum, and he created polka dot and it's like he's gonna bring over everything from a theory I'm like all the clients so it's gonna be pretty easily transition to and then just pretty much absorb all the d5 space It's kind of like it seems like the long-term solution But things like chain link are gonna kind of you know, having those off-chain Oracle solutions like that.

There's not a lot of competitors in that space, the Oracle solution. So Chainlink is pretty much the only one that I've seen, but they're still built on Ethereum to me is just like, are they going to break away and have their own blockchain? Or are they just going to and have their own blockchain or are they just gonna have this second layer solution aspect that ethereum 2.0 is like this high like this idea that doesn't seem like it's gonna ever exist like oh two dollar transaction fees for a small transaction, like sending an NFT somewhere.

This is crazy. I can't even do anything anymore. Yeah, I can't do anything. I can't even play any Dapp. I'm spending $20 to do just a couple things. Just to speed it up, too. I'm like, oh, the speed up is $2 more. That's great. I love that. Couple things like just a speed it up to my oh the speed up is two more dollars

Yeah, I just don't understand that you know Like are they really trying to get the second second layer solution or the third and two point and how's that? Transition gonna be you know like having that transition as an airdrop or you know a lot of people are gonna be able to do this like very fluidly like you know it's not gonna be like oh now it's ethereum 2.0 there's no direct upgrade like the way we built it and that's the reason why the co-creator of ethereum did go into polka dot because there was no scaling solution it was just like this is it and that's that you know and you know it should have been already he said there we should have been accomplished by 2016 like the the ethereum 2.0 but it's not anywhere near the I seen I mean they keep saying hey June July you know June, July, whatever. I don't know. Just another speculation

aspect. Like, oh, we can have staking. I've been staking for years. That's nothing new. It might be more bona fide in that aspect. It's Ethereum. it has its you know

has its place but how long are you gonna take to get there and how how well is everyone going to transition through that like that's a meaning that transitional period and people might lose billions of dollars millions you know that's the big problem that you're gonna have there if if you're gonna have that massive loss of money, wouldn't they just want to keep the old one alive? They're going to have the old one, but the way it is is like the sharding is going to be, I believe, yeah, direct or just like how Polkadot is like a parachain.

So, you know, like all the TPS here then some other TPS over here and Hopefully transition everything over but it seems like they're pretty much doing what polka dot is They're making it so If they're gonna do it like how polka dot is then the transition shouldn't be too hard you do like You do like a call. You put your private key, and then you do a call to your account, and then you do like a signing transaction.

It doesn't seem too hard if it's that easy, but I don't know. They might not have that. They might have like, oh, this is your address, and they're like, oh, it's one digit off. And they're like, oh, I sent a million dollars to the wrong address. Sorry, we can't get your money back. It's a native world. Okay.

Oh, Lord. If we bring it back to... Oh, sorry. If you have anything else... Yeah, we can bring it back to the library, or we can keep going with what you're saying. It doesn't matter. It's cool. Yeah, well, let's start with that. If can if you have anything like closing statement on that um

oh no nothing okay cool um the other thing i wanted to talk about was an experiment that's been going on on library android i'm sure you know this one the uh paid comments oh yeah yeah yeah i haven't used it actually the android app to me is just it's still it needs to be better but it's it's better than the old version yeah it's just not there yet no yeah like every time i have people download it they're like why is it saying it's running in the background like it's loading up all the videos but then you know you're gonna load up your wallet or like try to post a comment that's like it takes forever like and then you like i don't know how the android is but i know like if you use the desktop

like you try to post a comment like within a second or two and it's like oh you can't error like i can't even post i can't even respond to people's comments within a timely matter. I have to respond by one or two comments and then I have to come back in a day or later that day. But yeah, I haven't tried too much.

So if anyone who doesn't really know what's going on... Sorry, I was cutting you off. I really hate working with uh online video calls it's such a pain um especially when like you're so far away so you've got that that um really high ping it's just it's just a massive pain to deal with um anyway the point i was i was gonna say now I don't remember the point. Is that commenting? Commenting.

I cut you off for no reason. Oh no. I'll see if I can remember. Go on with what you were saying. Oh no, I wasn't cut off. Oh, no. I'll see if I can remember. Go with what you're saying. Oh, no, I wasn't cut off. I said. Oh, you were already done.

Yeah. Commenting. This is great content. Cost of LBC for commenting. I've lost it. Anyway, we'll

just move on from that so the I think right now the cost of commenting is pegged to 25 cents last time I checked what? which is insane

and people have called I think they might have reduced it but when they first brought it in it was pegged 25 us cents which is too much is way too much i thought it was like two i believe it's two lbc initially it was eight lbc for some people oh wow Oh, well. No. Yeah, I don't know about that. No, definitely not. I'm definitely not fair to that.

I think they have lowered it, but people are saying just make it like 0.1 or something. Yeah, exactly. That seems fair. What some people were saying was this is just going to be Bitcoin pizza 2.0. Yeah. I'm like, hey LBC to post a comment I paid LBC to post a comment oh that's like $3,000 now right

dude oh my god that price of LBC I didn't even think about those I'm long gone from LBC by the time it hits $3,000 I don't care what happens to the platform I'm selling out and living on an island somewhere if it hit that much i would sell a good stack but i would like to still be a content creator in some fashion it'd be fun to do that but yeah i i would stop caring about life at that point like i don't care i'm good i'm good for the rest of my life yeah i'd make

one video day five or six. You're just cutting back to a normal amount of content creation. It's like it's crypto, it's crypto the garden, a weekly crypto the garden. It's like, oh, this feels like being in Gromore, but whatever. Yeah, anyway, pay for comments. So, yeah. Yeah, pay for comments, I feel like.

Yeah, it should be a very low amount. Just that very small entry would be ideal. And give the ability for the platform to grow in price, if that's the case. But, yeah, giving up eight at a time or two. I believe it's two now, but I haven't looked at it. Okay, they might have doubled it to then. But yeah, even then, it's like,

unless you've already been using the platform, you don't want to give up two LBCs. Unless you're a content creator, two LBCs is actually still a lot. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to lose 2LBC or 8 or you know, at any time, but I do want to give it to the right people.

I presume when you do actually pay for a comment, it does go to the creator, so it's sort of like a tip. Which I guess is, like, that's fine. If you're going to tip anyway, then you can tip and a comment. Personally, I would like it

if it was entirely up to the creator. If I want to peg it at 25 cents, let me peg it at 25 cents. If I want to turn comments off, let me turn comments off. If I want to make it 10,000 LBC so no one can comment except for the richest people who want to donate a massive amount,

I want to be able to do that. But I want to see the creator be in control of what actually happens with the comment pricing if we're going to do that. Nice. Yeah, that sounds great. That way you can get the people that are like, follow me. I'm like, well, you paid me 1,000 LBC. Maybe I should follow you.

This guy got his money. follow me I'm like what do you pay me a thousand LBC yeah I think that's great they can see the option to like really be more versatile on you know aspects and it gives everybody the flexibility. And then that's what, in my mind is what library is offering us that flexibility. So having, you know, yeah, I don't want anyone to comment on this specific video or,

you might have some reason why you don't want comments on it. Maybe it's some politically sensitive video and you just don't want to start a fight in the comment section. Exactly. I think that's fair. You know, that's what YouTube, I mean, like, yeah, like, YouTube is that aspect, but at the same time, you know.

YouTube will turn your comment section off sometimes. Yeah, exactly. I, well, that's, for a person like me, that's, like, just viewing, so I'm like, hey, I don't have comments on here, but. But, yeah, that's great. I think that's a great idea like if they are not working on that I would hope that

you are talking to them I hope they're working on just general comment moderation like I want to be able to delete comments I want to be able to blacklist certain words like if I don't want people speaking about certain things in my comment section I should you know be able to actually put that in there because there's some people who have

histories that people don't want to mention at this point for example uh trevon as you brought up earlier uh any chance people get people mention bitconnect same with uh yeah yeah he's uh that's unfortunate for like yeah that's going to be attached to him forever no matter what he does for the rest of his life he is one of the bitconnect shills yeah that's unfortunate like i think he's grown a lot since then but yeah that's as i luckily i wasn't around at that point for for that to be affecting me so i don't have that um you know perspective but i get it you know but yeah i'm annoyed about it for sure yeah i mean having the ability to blacklist words and be able to delete comments like i i want that like you know have you seen the new way people are doing follow for follow

i don't know i don't know how much you pay attention to your comment section um but sort of so people have stopped doing follow for follow for the most part what they're doing now is they'll say some like nice message but they'll make it a link to their invite link oh yeah i've seen that yeah of course yeah no i still i don't even respond to anyone like that like if we were like you know great content or whatever i'm like yeah yeah beautiful you know thank you i appreciate but yeah it's like follow me and oh no click on my account to get an invite i'm like come on it has slowed down now that we're getting pretty harsh about who we're letting in yeah yeah i noticed um the other day there was that it was like jancore 73 like they had like 40,000 like subs in like uh two weeks or something like this is not real like

i've seen that before with a couple people and then they they created that um yeah they uh what was that it was there was some algorithm they had and then they were able to just take off all the people that were like gaming the system so yeah it's not it doesn't look like it's there anymore uh but yeah that was that channel with like i got 100 views 100 lbc and like 40 000 subscribers like come on i'm like this guy's number three already like no way like i'm working my my butt here you know to get to the top is this wait is this? Wait, okay, no this person has a lot of LBC. There's someone that has 11 views, 9800 subscribers, but they also have 700,000 LBC. So they could just have a channel that has no videos on it and then just boosted it up to the top of trending. okay but you have 700 000 lbc so

i you can probably do a lot of stuff with that yeah great that's that's how i started i mean i get it but it's one it 1600 lbc okay 5800 followers okay 414 000 views yeah that's where they game the system. You can just refresh the page. I mean, I get that. But you don't get paid to LBC. That's the biggest thing. You can refresh it to get views, but you won't get paid.

So what's the point really? Yeah, I get it. It looks good on paper. If we go back to one of the earlier topics, when we were talking about the ad monetization, I hope they do address that early on and make it so you have to actually watch the ad rather than just be like,

you see a half a second of it, refresh, half a second, refresh, half a second, refresh. Right, yeah, exactly. But they did say they want to take a while to get it implemented. They're not going to be rushing it out. So I hope they do actually take that into consideration. Yeah, not a lot of people know about that.

But yeah, you can really game the system with the views. I did a little bit of refreshing to get some of that early on, but not too much. I knew if I just did it too much, I don't gain anything out of it. I want organic growth. It was nice that when they did filter out all the people, they're like, oh, Cryptocel is doing great.

He's actually someone that didn't gain the system to get to the point. It's nice being recognized. was part of part of the cut i was like oh okay you guys you guys realize i'm not like gaming the system with like these crazy ass like venezuela there was one that was called venezuela that was like way up there yeah yeah yeah i was like here's what i do you know they're having some you know impression from their government i guess there's somebody named venezuela popped up they're like that's the guy we should all follow okay but i think it did help that you were actually pumping out content and you were like a lot of it what back then was like the the crypto updates but you were actually a person who was doing it

it wasn't just like here's a picture of the graph what's the graph gonna do it was like okay here's the graph here's where it's going here's my thoughts on it and you're actually like putting some effort into it rather than the people who just repost just nothing it's like oh here's the graph like yep i can see the graph thank you for. I didn't need you to tell me about that. You just give me a link. You give me like a commentary just on the below description. Like, this is the graph for today. That's why I'm like, you know, to get the daily library report.

Like, hey, this is the price as well as my you know what's gonna happen possibly or whatever you know like i'm not the best at charting like i'm still working on it but you can see trends and you can see you know like you know the price you're gonna dip and go up or you know whatever so it's nice to be able to have that ability to see it happen and I'm able to buy some dips actually and it works with everything so yeah where are we price of LBC okay so content content yeah so yeah it was nice to be able to just like just have more of a character behind you know everything crypto like you see like yeah there's just like not a lot of you know pizzazz there's you know not not everyone obviously it's just you know there's just like a lot of the like same kind of narrative

like oh this is crypto and this is worth a bunch of money and then that's it's like yeah mean anything like today you know it might mean something in a month or a year or two or twenty you know right to really be adaptive and very versatile like you know he's gonna create more personable content that reaches your audience and and that ability to just just do it and not worry about the production you know it's like you know i'm working on minimal production here too i can be in a rural country and still be killing it like it might look like i have something nice set up like i just frame my shot really well like there's some stuff on the floor over there and stuff on the floor over here i just know how to put my webcam in a spot where it looks like

everything's nice and neat yeah i well yeah i was like oh your stuff you know i think that that wall is too boring i need something on it but i'm in a rental place right now i don't want to damage the wall when i get my own place there, it's gonna be much maybe not high production value, but at least it's gonna look interesting back there Yeah, maybe cool Some like some message or something like I know like I was like crypto lark He has stuff like that where you'll have like whatever in the background That's like someone you feel like whatever in the background. You can put something in the background, like a message,

and you don't even say it. It's like, whoa, what's going on? So yeah, in the future for me, I want to actually start incorporating with the news channel aspect for the daily library report, and then maybe at the end, highlight certain

specific content creators and or even like kind of like a like a talk show with like music at the end like oh this artist pick out this artist you know because I really am like a big hip-hop head like I really like hip-hop and stuff but also just music in general so it'd be nice to like incorporate like people that are more linguistic on their rapping than just like oh this is cool sounds great but um or just people that are like making music or content yeah just kind of highlighting people instead of just being that support your fault fellow content creators or the shout outs i do you know yeah yeah people

have been reaching out so it's pretty cool, you know, like, I did see that last, uh, that last one you did, where you boosted up someone's channel, and I saw in the video how many, how many subs you had,

then I went and looked at the channel, how many you had then, and it's like, oh, it's gone up like over a thousand subs, like, that's awesome, yeah,

that's my goal, is like, if they're under a thousand, like, I want them to be at least, you know, a thousand, if not more.

You gotta boost up the, uh, the bottom line for the top 200 channels, it's too too low we need it to be at like five or ten thousand yeah exactly yeah i can probably help with that too so i can bring people up a little bit i can't do anywhere as much as you do though oh well how many how many subs you? I've got 9,700 on my main channel. Almost 6,000 on the podcast channel.

Nice. Because you have the tech over tea. Yes, that's where this one's going up. I really enjoy that. My main channel is just Brody Robertson. That's all Linux stuff. Okay. Yeah, I just

last two months, I've been using Linux Mint. I did Yeah, I just, last two months, I've been using Linux Mint. I did notice in your videos, you are on Mint. Yeah, I enjoy it. It's nice. Yeah, I'm an Arch guy myself. Arch, okay.

I don't know. I'm just like, a boom tube. Mint seems okay, but yeah, I don't know. They're all basically the same if you want to put the effort into it

you can turn basically anything into anything if you want to use Linux and you put the effort into it there's nothing stopping you doing that right yeah yeah I just know some of the the pseudos don't work in Mint I think

I just try to copy and paste them, and I'm like, nope. You might have some missing programs or something. Yeah, maybe that's it. I don't know. I'm still learning Linux. I've been working on Apple, because I distribute

electronics. I work on laptops and stuff. So I've been working on Apple Unix-based for 12 years now but um but linux itself like i've been off and on for about a couple years because i use uh vps's so i'll use like a virtual private server and then oh yeah you also learn linux basically Like, no one's running Windows servers. Yeah, yeah. It was so expensive. Like, why even have the interface? Like, what's the point?

I'm running a script, and then it just pops up with the program, just like it would be the same if I had a Windows base without, you know, the GUI or whatever. Yeah, to me, it's not necessary. It's a huge expense when it comes to the difference between a Linux server and a Windows server.

It's exponentially expensive. I was able to rent some VPS for Linux for $10 for four core, eight gig. Then you do a Windows version, it's almost $100. VPS for Linux for I think like $10 for like 4 core 8 gig and then you do like a Windows version it's like almost $100 you know like $200 maybe

like yeah that doesn't make sense to me but yeah not to get too far off topic trying to bring up some more library this podcast I pretend like it's a tech podcast but it's really not okay I'm just like should we talk about library more this podcast, I pretend like it's a tech podcast, but it's really not. Okay, I'm just like, should we talk about library more?

I've done videos where I talk about retail for half an hour and how shit work in retail is. So my girlfriend just got a job at retail and now it's like, she has to wear a mask so much. It's so absurd but like

we went to get ordered food earlier and they're like you can't get it you can't even come inside unless you have a mask i'm like we're literally picking up food like this is all we're doing we're just here like i don't you know i don't know your aspects on that but i don't know about you guys but in australia people have been taking it way too seriously when we've basically not had anything happen we had 7 000 cases and we've basically stopped now because the good thing about australia is that everyone is sort of naturally social distance. Like everyone drives a car. Everyone lives so far apart from each other. Unless you're like in the city centres, you don't really have that much interaction with people.

Obviously, unless you go to the supermarket. But it's not like people, not like in the UK or in some of the big cities in the US where everyone's on the train or something like that. You don't really have that here. So we didn't really have like such a massive pandemic like some places did. Oh yeah, I mean here it's just like we've been home for three months. Like I mean I've been social distancing for years. Yeah, nothing's changed for me. Nothing's changed for me. I'm like I'm always at home. Stop coming to classes like okay

I didn't do that for the past four years anyway yeah so should I be sick now or later

I'm not sure how it works yeah my answer is like the cure for COVID is protest

so I've seen some publication about UK and they're like asking the officers so we can protest but we're not sick

or you know so you're not going to stop me now they were just so confused I'm like yeah to me people have their ideas but I don't it's certainly helping the people who say it's not a real thing when

people are allowed to go out and protest but they're not allowed to go to church I know right you've seen the video where it's like COVID-19 COVID-19 the church serving yeah

he's a real like you know priest or whatever but then they did that meme video, and it's like, oh, that's him. He really believes he could just fight off COVID. He's like, go to hell, COVID. Oh, my God. That's good.

But, yeah, that's a whole other topic. But, yeah, to me, it just seemed like such a deterrent. But at the same time, it's like, in my business of selling electronics, like, it's spiked up a lot. And also the prices of laptops went up. Like, I was able to sell laptops for, like, $50 to $100 more. If you wanted to, crypto wasn't the thing you should have bought. You should have bought webcams.

Because they shot up like 300%. The webcam I'm using is like a C920 Pro. It's $100. People were selling it for like $300-$400 on eBay. Because there just weren't any. So you should have bought up a bunch of webcams and then just flipped them. That's how you make a ton of money. Yeah, I guess I could have sold.

I mean, I don'll know how to second webcam I would have sold this one and then bought another one a few months later but I had to raise it for the videos yeah I know I had a bunch of yeah because this one is a Microsoft life cameras oh I was just a simple yeah yeah I was gonna buy one for my get a better one yeah I was going to buy one from Logitech. Get a better one. I'd been seeing them on offer up, and I'm like, holy crap, that one's expensive, the Logitech one. They really upped the price.

Some people just bought them all, and they just flipped them. Yeah, I did have a bunch of webcams I didn't saw I should have sold them this is back stock electronics I just have piles of just like wires and cameras and I'm some high-end cameras I mean my production value could be way better you know like some of the hero backs and i have a sony 4k like they have some like icons and yeah why are you not using those it's just the way you have to you know it's not just like a camera on my computer this is aesthetic this is i'm doing this for the looks i want the early 2000s YouTube. I start them low.

You know, I'm just like, this is like Bitcoin mining 50 at a time. And then I'm like, you know, we'll go on the four year and then we'll, you know, half it. And it's like, oh, the quality has gone up. Like, I don't want them to have like such high expectation. They're like, hey, can you open to 720p?

I'm like, we're starting at 480 right now. I've got to work with Bit bitching for a while man so yeah I definitely want to pick up a better camera but yeah also a video capture card I believe oh yeah help more yeah don't use I want to use the hero fire hero max I like the picture but i don't like that wide angle too much it's just kind of it's kind of buggy looking like um um but yeah so the electronics like went up like crazy yeah i made the mistake of having to buy a new computer during all of this and yeah it luckily prices didn't go too bad

here. It was just stock that was a massive pain to find. I tried to buy like a Ryzen 3600X and the place I went to, they had one left in stock. It's like, ooh. And like, I need it. I don't care what you're charging for, just give it

to me. And it wasn't that much more than... I think it was's like 30 or 40 dollars more but it wasn't that bad Yeah, but the original case I was gonna buy that sold out the original frame I'm gonna buy that sold out the CPU cooler that sold out. Oh, this is a pain She's Yeah, I probably need to upgrade my well my desktop is actually really good it's just a tiny it's a micro desktop actually I can put that in there cuz no anything to to my end in there I guess

that's maybe yeah yeah it's a it's a 9700T Intel. Oh, yeah. It's pretty... Yeah, it's decent, but, you know, it's super small factor, M.2, and one slot for two and a half, but... Yeah, I'm like, well, I can't fit anything too bigger,

unless I put, like, a bigger SSD, and you can't... I think it is Thunderbolt 3, so I might be able to run something externally. Yeah, might be able to do EGPU, I don't know. But I'm like, the Ryzen Threadrippers? Oh man, those look

fantastic. I would love to buy one, but they're so expensive here. Yeah. Yeah, there was like a... The one that has like 16 or 18 core, I don't know, it's excessive. I'm like a the one that has like yes 16 or 18 core. It's excessive I'm like, how's that even there's a server? They got to use it to mine a Monero I'm gonna get it. I was like, oh man like they're switching over to

CPU mining like What is it random X random X? like what is it random X random X so I go get the thread rippers and run that for a bit like but then they're all like one up and sideways and down now it's still giving like I get it it's privacy currency and it has its place but I mean unless you're doing illicit activities to transact it really doesn't have any value to me. Like, I don't know. I'm sure the government's like, hey, you have money?

I'm like, okay, I don't. I don't have money. I'm poor. So, like, you know, like tracking down our Bitcoin with Coinbase's analytics. Oh, yeah. You're not going to be private on Bitcoin. Don't even try that.

I love when, like, oh, I'm going to, like, do some illicit activity with Bitcoin. It's like, can you, are you dumb? that might you might as well just be handing them cash in front of a security camera like what are you doing yeah i learned from uh dread pirate uh what his name from from silk road like he got caught up like all his bitcoin got taken you know like they're on silk road you know so if if he got caught i'm like yeah bitcoin doesn't have any security in those aspects i think it's all playing it's all there and that's great obfuscated by just randomly swapping between wallets but there's

only so much you can do you can only just make it harder for them to catch you yeah there's the um the what are those the tornado tornado cats um yeah i mean those are pretty cool but technically that makes all the money dirty it's just you know distributed that's the big thing everyone has a bit of dirty bitcoin yeah literally uh you received 0.02 from you know bitcoin from whoever i'm like that's dirty does that make all of them dirty especially whenever you buy um anything whenever there's like a big exchange hack and they sell off all of those coins well you're probably gonna end up buying part of that at some point yeah they don't include that in the list of dirty money like it's not like i was personally trying to find this the money that was you know bitcoin that was

like to from a hack like i don't who knows you know really i mean you can do the research you can follow there's like uh what is it the bitcoin whale or whatever. The whale on Twitter, they're constantly telling us whose money has been stolen or whatever. But it only goes so far. It's just like in fiat currency, there's going to be some story behind it. I don't expect my money to not have been in a drug deal or something and end up at a Safeway or some convenience store or 7-Eleven. No, this is tainted money. You can't use it. You can take my money.

I earned this, you know, like. So, yeah. I think you're learning it through illicit means. You can only care about it so much. Exactly. Like, it doesn't have that background for me. Like, if it was, like, some illicit reason, then, yeah, I would be a little skeptical.

But it's not like, well, it's kind of hard to say like money is printed over printed and and that's considered real but yet counterfeit money is fake like I don't know exactly it's like okay well and they hit all the marks for the security you security behind it and the paper or the coloration is different, but somebody under the Federal Reserve can just print money.

I don't know. It doesn't make sense. If we go back to library for just a bit. Yeah. No, I just remembered something I wanted to talk about about Library. I saw a comment in the Discord a few hours back,

and it made me very happy. They are working on a new notification system. Yes. What that means, I don't know, but I hope it means proper notifications. Yes. A lot of follow me that'll be annoying but at least there's still a lot of people who do comment on my

content properly i'm like i do want to respond to that but if you comment on something old i'm never going to go back and look at every single video I uploaded. I'll look at my most recent one, maybe the one before. But you can't go back through everything and say, oh, is there a comment on this one? Is there a comment on this one? There's only so much time in the day. Especially when you upload whatever you upload, however much you do. You can't really go back and look through every single thing you do and be like, are there comments here? You need something to tell you

yeah that'd be nice i'm not that's why i'm making i'm making videos on responding to comments so to me i'm like hey man if they don't have notifications i'm gonna make content on that they don't make notifications so yeah i mean either way for me but yeah I do appreciate having some type of like response that's within a timely matter because then you can actually get a response back possibly that's the thing like I don't even have that

like getting a response back from yours is like I have had one time that's happened at least one time I've seen it happen like wow that's crazy this is weird on library yeah like you're still here that's happened at least one time I've seen it happen like wow that's crazy this is weird on library expect that so having some like timely matter aspect like that'd be nice like it's another way to connect with our followers yeah I just these follow the follows and you know maybe let's just slim that down

or there might be even a person i can even talk to like hey so what's up with this follow to follow stuff you know like are you an actual person like some of them like yeah i don't know it seems like bots you know sometimes but otherwise them come into the Discord like, hey, why did my viewtips get taken away? Well, I have these 50 instances on record of when you ask for follow for follow. So does that answer your question? Yeah, people get penalized for that.

I didn't know if they were doing that. Oh, you didn't know about that? I mean, within reading, I saw some people saying, oh, yeah, don't do that, but I didn't know the depth of that. Basically, at this stage, what they're doing is if you break the rules of the platform,

they'll remove your viewtip monetization. Oh. Which obviously, I'm surprised people haven't been bringing it up more, because they've been trying to hide it behind the veil of rewards, what that is is demonetization which is you know no different from what youtube does but they want to they want to this is one of the things i do uh find a bit annoying about library sometimes especially what some of the team members will say they try to hide some of the stuff they're doing behind words that make it sound a bit better

than it really is. Like, oh, we've removed the rewards. Like, no, you've removed monetization. Like, just call it what it is. I think that's just the engineer side of me where it's like, just, I want to cut through the bullshit and just hear what you're actually trying to tell me.

Yeah, I feel it. Yeah, I don't like this masking of uh you know of anything really in any aspect so it'd be nice to just point it out so people realize what they can do better um yeah the i mean it's been very minimal in comparison to how it was at first with the fall of the fall of the movie so yeah I mean it's getting progressive so yeah having some oh sorry oh I was gonna say just having some announcement or you know just being more you know transparent about it

it seems like they are getting better about being transparent this is another thing I did want to talk about I've been holding library's feet to the fire really strongly lately if you watch me on twitter I will just grill them about whatever stupid

stuff they're doing because no one's doing that like I think that's one of the problems that library has right now they don't really have anyone who's being critical of them obviously there's people outside of the platform who are but everyone who's on the platform seems to just be,

library is great, library is the future. But they need someone who's there being like, okay, yes, library is great, but here are the problems you have, and they need to be addressed. You need to have some pushback against, especially when they try to do stupid things like 25 cent comments. They need someone actually pushing back

against that being like that's not a good idea yeah i mean i i probably want to incorporate some of that in my videos like i mean i would if i i knew some of the stuff so yeah i'm in the discord a lot of the time i notice you're not around as much because you probably have better things to be doing with your life uh yeah discord is just like a lot of groups i'm involved in discord but um yeah between that telegram um and you know just my life in general um but yeah yeah I feel like, you know, we need some, we need someone to, you know, put some fire under their ass, essentially. You know, it's just, you know, you can only boast somebody so much and give them validation and then be like, oh, yeah, this is working. Like, oh, things break, you know, especially in blockchain. Yeah, if you look at like YouTube, the second anything on YouTube breaks, there will be tons of people like, hey guys, what's going on? Even if they don't listen, at least there's people being like,

hey, there's something wrong here. I think that's, at least library, when you do tell them that something is wrong, they will listen to you. That is definitely an improvement, but they still need those people who are actually telling them that there is something wrong. Right.

Okay. Yeah, that's good to know. That's a good perspective because, yeah, I want to be all the, you know, I just want to be able to boast them up, but give them, you know, like, hey, what's going on here, and let's figure it out. Jeremy's on the rant. He's telling

all of this, and then, like, Thomas is amazing. Yeah, it is great that we do have, like, direct lines to members of the rant. He's telling all of this and then like, you know Thomas is amazing Yeah, like yeah, yeah Yeah, I guess I didn't really looked into like the the not necessarily negative aspect but like what's not working per se Well, the obvious ones you do see are things like viewtips when those break oh yeah yeah if you need to yeah i'm on that i'm like a middle night i'll wake up and be like what's going on here like i'm missing three hours of payment like come on they're like it's like it's it's rewards not you know like oh okay it's called the rewards

it's a gift from library yeah i was just like thank you so is ad monetization just i don't care fix the gift i don't care what you're gonna call it but yeah you know they're just like oh yeah you know and then like the moderators are like oh no this is this is your fault all this this and that, like, to go back on that. But yeah, to, you know, like, this is a gift and it's not supposed to always work. Like, what? That doesn't make sense to me. Especially with all of the, like, everyone who's been promoting library has been talking about the viewtip monetization as a monetization system.

about the viewtip monetization as a monetization system and that's why people are coming over to the platform because they're seeing like this is like you can put upload content on library and you can get paid for it because I don't want to get paid peer tubes the thing I can go use peer tube it's just as decentralized as library is if I don't want to make a cent from it well I'll just go over there yeah yeah there's more options, but yeah. Yeah, the monetization is very appealing. It's important, especially for people who already are making money on other platforms.

I get if you're a new creator. That's cool. On YouTube, you weren't going to be making anything anyway. But if you're like an established creator the money is actually important to you especially for the people who do it as a job I think for those people it's something that is going to

make or break whether library actually becomes a proper successful platform yeah I definitely it definitely draws in the right people or whoever content creator, you know So these big content career, they wouldn't be over here without any monetization like come on They'd be real. Oh, yeah. I mean in the long term. Yeah, I mean having that like Early-on aspect. Yeah, you're not gonna be making much you might not be making anything

Just for like the cloud that you cloud, just having that like, oh yeah, I'm a content creator here. It's a good feeling, but the monetization honestly right now at this stage is very important. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't.

Honestly. Yeah, as I said, there's plenty of other platforms. Library's not the only, even just a crypto platform, it's not the only crypto platform on the block anymore. Like, you have BitTube, you have Steemit, Steampeak, 3Speak,

you have all of the Hive stuff. Like, you're not the only guys around anymore. There's tons of competition in this space at this point. Yeah, I'm waiting for live i want live i can't wait till that they kind of mentioned it i think it was i think jeremy on his on twitter possibly on his profile kind of said something about live they are talking about it but i don't know what the plan is for that right Right, yeah, it was very seldom. It was just like, we're really close to having live,

like they could just turn on a switch kind of thing, but I'm like, where is that? Like- That would be cool. That would definitely be cool. Yeah, because I love making live videos. Like I'd rather like on my daily library report, I want that to be live, like always. And pretty much all my videos if i

can you know uh i pretty much just do one you know just one shot like that's it we're done my videos need to be a bit more technical than that so i like to do you know a couple takes just so i can make my videos as informative because a lot of my stuff is like either software reviews or uh tech tutorials things like that where i actually want to have some flow to the video rather than just like it being a constant stream of my thoughts which obviously there's nothing wrong with those videos i do those videos myself as well but for the technical videos i think there's some value in you know being able to go over what you're saying like can i say this in a better way is is this the clearest way that

this could really be said yeah that's true i mean i would say to all my videos but yeah i do want to do some editing more down the road of course um and add some more you know transitional like screens and stuff like having you know intro videos and outro videos you know all the everything where everyone makes. But, you know, yeah, I definitely can't knock that. Like, that's very important because, yeah, having more technical chops is, you know, you don't always have everything all at once, you know. Yeah, it comes off well in the podcast.

Like, I can ramble fine, but when I'm trying to do technical stuff, I blank out after a couple of words sometimes. It's like, what am I trying to say again, what am I even talking about today yeah yeah, I definitely would, yeah, that seems more yeah, if you had

the editing around that that would be more better, I expect that to be a little bit more drawn out and edited but yeah, I don't I mean I guess I have some technical jobs but when it comes to Linux though it's like I use more script

a little bit of script like just copy and paste really I don't know pseudo some pseudo I've always enjoyed working with computers though this is just an extension of my hobby basically I just like messing with software yeah software um yeah i mean somewhat i mean i guess i don't know yeah all the technical aspects but yeah with with hardware yeah that's pretty much where i've been is uh been building

computers since i was like nine years old Wow yeah desktops as nine and when I was like 21 I started selling laptops so yeah it's our building laptops for last almost 12 years I told you. Yeah, I'm 32. Yeah, I've been having a laptop business for 11, 12 years. Yeah, it's crazy. I literally started on a bus. I'd just take a bus and build laptops

and post an ad and hope somebody buys this. And by the end of the day, you just have a pile of money. And just like, do it again. Yeah, suitcase and by the end of the day you just have a pile of money and just like do it again yeah suitcase and bag backpack like I'm like a traveling salesman that's why I

thought myself as a traveling salesman in my mind and now you're making crypto videos and walking around beaches and stuff yeah that's my life I mean yeah I live right by the beach it's pretty cool and walking around beaches and stuff. Yeah, that's my life. I live right by the beach. It's pretty cool.

But I'm not like, it's a peninsula. It's not like the ocean. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so, yeah. I live near Seattle, but where I live is nowhere near as chaotic. Yeah. That's a podcast by itself right there talking about what's going on in Seattle.

Yeah, I see a bunch of stuff and I'm like, that's happening? Oh, I just got hit by a rubber bullet in my forehead. I'm like, how? Oh yeah, we've created a state and we're going to secede from the US. I'm sorry, what are you going to do?

You're going to create a state inside of the US and you don't think that's going to end poorly for you? That reminds me of Family Guy where he's like, this is Victoria. It's like the country within a country. I was like,

when I was selling laptops and I was selling laptops, I was selling laptops at a... I was a pizza place turned into a bar. And the owner was like, you can't sell laptops in a business. This is a business within a business. I'm like, but I'm bringing business here. People buy things.

I'm sure if he said you can have a cut, he would say nothing about it yeah well yeah i kind of did but he was he was i guess he was from like uh i think india or something i don't know he just didn't understand like the dynamic how i was like you know like i bring business here people buy things i tip everyone and give everybody money like it seems like working yeah yeah but having a country within the country you know it's like having a like was it LA I think it's not saying like LA is gonna be a whole nother like

Southern California is gonna be its own state like how does that work like just cuz you guys are economies crap and then like Northern California is different than Southern California, I guess you know, there's countries that are smaller than Miles big, you know, and I guess that can work But yeah, so what do you hear about Seattle's? I didn't I didn't know about that. Oh wait No, I don't know I was down the street essentially No, I'm right oh

Man I gotta move faster than Just to go to Canada or go to Oregon Papers like to go to Canada or go to Oregon. Here we go. I don't have papers. I don't have papers. On the screen. Paste that in there. The Seattle Autonomous Zone. The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Yes! Okay, I did see something like this.

I didn't really... I used to go party out in Capitol Hill. It's the like gay friendly area that's usually where the pride parades are but it's also very like it's kind of hectic out there sometimes

so being out there doing this seems kind of it seems normal I guess I don't know well yeah this is this is mental the funniest thing I saw about it was they let a couple of homeless people in

and the homeless people apparently took their food I mean they're homeless they're hungry and then they were asking for supplies and the supplies they were asking for were like vegan meat products and like soy based food and fruit it's like come on what is this

what is this LARPing revolutionary nonsense? Can we get some vegan meat? Yeah we would like that too, we have like vegan everything. If you're gonna secede from the US, like I think you can't make a you have to make some sacrifices for the food you're gonna eat. Yeah, I mean, at some point you might have to eat some meat. Okay, it's the end of the world. I'm either eat meat or eat nothing.

Okay, maybe eat some meat. We go into a zombie apocalypse, they only want to eat vegan meat. I know, right? Oh, I don't like this kind of zombie meat. It's not good enough. I can buy zombie meat vegan. meat it's not good enough like once you have options opposed to pocket lifting world like somebody has like a vegan production somewhere like you know I'm gonna eat vegetables to be more sustainable but but in the middle of

Capitol Hill Capitol is like in the center of Seattle. Like there was no sustainable living anywhere. Like it's all based on trucking it in and you know, like it's a, it's a city for sure. So yeah, I have no interest in living in the cities. Like the cities aren't anywhere near as big in Australia, but I still don't want to be in that life.

I love like right now I'm living in the Adelaide Hills and it's it's lovely up here I'm close enough to all the stuff I want to get to and it's quiet out here and it's great yeah that's where I'm my next move is basically built nowhere sounds great yeah if I do go middle of nowhere I'll probably go up towards my parents place they're in like 150 150km north of here. I don't know what that is in miles. It's far enough. They're basically out in the middle of nowhere. And yeah, it's lovely whenever I go out there.

Because they're down by the Murray River, which is like a big river that travels across from South Australia into like Victoria. And it's good fishing down there. And it's just, it's a beautiful place to be nice yeah that's why I want to get you know more in touch with nature like living in a city was just like I didn't really live in the city necessarily but I was always working in the city um yeah when I'd ride the bus all day and sell uh laptops it would be in seattle so yeah it was fun to be you know young in my early 20s like just partying and making money you know it was fun you know but as like a 30 year old and now i have like a family i'm like i don't want to live in the city you know like yeah it's not a place you want to raise a family that's for for sure. No, I mean, kids per se, but, you know.

You don't want to live your life in a city, like, if you do have kids at some point. Like, you don't want to, you can't give them any property in a city. Like, you're renting everything. Yeah, exactly. Like, one of my friends, they have, like, a condo in Seattle, but, like, that's only, like, a section of the building. Like, it's not the building itself. Like, there's, like, up costs for, like, just having that condo there, like, service fee.

Like, yeah, there's just no, like, when people are like, oh, I bought an apartment in Manhattan or something like that. I'm like, how do you you you only own like a section of it like that that's millions of dollars just for just a little section of a huge building and that's it like if someone said that i would ask them how much they paid for it and then send them pictures uh of what they could buy if they went rural yeah you could have like a thousand acres and like whatever you know like big old big old house or multiple houses like you can buy like a great vineyard and like yeah you can do all this yeah you can you know uh have a winery like

yeah i want to do is uh i want to grow microgreens which I'm working on working on doing that then go to like farmers markets it's all like subscription-based microgreens like I see videos on that like that's that sounds great like you know like I like that community aspect of having like you know farm to play you know not like supermarkets and whatnot, like having some sustainability. Like, you know, when I mentioned to everyone, like, yeah, I'm going to have chickens. They're like, so how do you kill them?

Like, oh, it's going to be a little bit more challenging for the people that don't eat meat. And break the neck. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, I'm fine if I need to eat meat. I'm going to do what I need to grow chickens and butcher them if I need to. But I have like half of my family is vegan and vegetarian.

They're like, oh, no, the chicken. I'm sorry, you guys won't be a part of that, obviously. You can at least get rid of all your lawn and just make your lawn a garden. Grow, like, basil and all of that sort of stuff in there. Who needs a lawn? Just grow plants. Grow plants you're actually going to need.

I don't know. You see these, like, neighborhoods and stuff, and, like, you have to have, like, cut grass and all that. Like, they'll send you letters, like, hey, your grass is overgrowing like you go my house and edge the grass on my front lawn like go ahead i'm not paying for that you know i'll mow my lawn but i don't need someone to tell me to mow my lawn like so that's kind of annoying but yeah but having that ability to grow in your front lawn like some states around

here like it's illegal to have a garden in your front lawn i'm like that's crazy that's weird yeah no one cares here like you can grow whatever you want as long as it's not a actually you probably shouldn't be growing weed but you could do it a lot of people have tried this is like hiding behind some stuff you can grow whatever you want in your yard As long as it's not illegal I don't care here Yeah I don't know

The one big thing is like People growing tobacco Like no one ever does that But Not that I want to do that But that's like highly illegal So if I grow tobacco and salmia Like okay

Like no Never do that Start growing mushrooms in your front yard So I'm going to grow tobacco and salvia. Like, okay. Like, no, never do that. Start growing mushrooms in your front yard and just start saying, I'm just a mushroom enthusiast. Hey, man. They don't have to know what sort of mushrooms they are. That's true. As long as they're not like, you know,

they don't know any information about mushrooms. But yeah, having sport, like, I think those are more, you have to have like enclosed kind of like um like ecosystem like i don't i don't know i know they do grow like naturally but i don't know yeah how to go about it yeah there was like spore kits and i'm probably gonna actually start doing that too because um you know i i like the uh medicinal aspects of certain things, but not that I'm just going to go hallucinate all day

or I don't even smoke that much pot. I don't need to do that. But it's nice to know that if someone has medicinal purpose around things, like I'm not going to grow coca plants or something like, oh, I need coca plants. I don't even know

about that. Just start growing. Actually actually i'm growing some some hemp uh as well and i have some uh sativa the thc based um it's legal like we have our medical card technically um but yeah so i'm like that's still right right now it's very illegal here no no there is no medical in my state what yeah that's crazy victoria has medical at this point maybe but no no they don't because there was a big story recently about it australia is still pretty far behind on it. Yeah, that's all news. Yeah, this probably happened in the... Happened to you guys years ago, but...

There was a story a few months back about a parent and her kid with... I think autism or something. And apparently, apparently like the oil is actually good for that seizures sorry he had really bad seizures and that was like a big story about how she couldn't get the

oil for that and she had to like go to another state and go to another country to get it like we could solve all this this by at least having medicinal. Because the police are coming after her for giving it to her kids. Really? So is there a difference between having hemp and THC? Hemp is fine.

But medicinal marijuana or recreational marijuana, or THC? Hemp is fine, but yeah. Medicinal marijuana or recreational marijuana, no. Not allowed to have. Okay. To me, it's fine. At least with hemp, because hemp has CBD in it.

That's kind of most of the medical reasons. I'm not sure how they get around that. I'm not, yeah, I haven't looked too much into that. It's a very low percentage of THC. Mm-hmm. Like, 0.03 or something like that. Like, really, really minuscule.

But it smells and looks just like pot. So, like, you know, if you're going to get pulled over and then have it, they're going to be like, you're going to jail you know like we don't send people to jail that much for it we're not as bad as the us we just tend to fine people we're not like yeah you get 20 years in federal prison for having like a baggie on you yeah we don't we just we just like to find people, which isn't the best, but, you know, it's not as bad. That's good. Yeah, they stopped decriminalizing.

Decriminalizing. Yeah, they haven't stopped giving tickets for marijuana for, I think, like 10 years, something like that, at least, before it was legal. So, I mean, it was great. Eventually, we'll catch up one day. Yeah, I just like the medicinal aspects, you know, just like the story you were talking about with the seizures. Like, I've seen, like, there was this man that was just constantly having seizures all day, and then as soon as he took a hit, he was, like... Yeah, I think I've seen like, like there's, there was this man that was just constantly having seizures all day. And then as soon as he took a, took a hit,

he was like, yeah, I think I've seen the same video. Yeah. It was like normal within seconds. I'm like, this is amazing. Might've been someone who had,

I think I saw another one where someone had Tourette's or something, or. Yeah, I think that's it. Yeah. Tourette's. And then, yeah,

the one, there was a one lady with her child that she had to go somewhere else to get um some oil yeah i don't know if that's the story but yeah she was um yeah like her kid was just like dying and then she went to another state and got oil and like it was fine you know yeah yeah like down syndrome or something like that like i'm not showing the details it's probably a similar story it's happened so many times yeah and i'm like come on like they put like a hispanic twist to the name and call it illegal in the early 1900s like like marijuana like oh my god this is illegal like bro it's way better than tobacco like anyone that smokes cigarettes I'm like

just smoke hemp that's what I thought just smoke hemp like it doesn't get you high you know it makes you relax and in Australia

we have like a massive alcohol problem like oh US alcoholism and Australian alcoholism are on different levels like

oh if someone has like I don't know a bottle of Jack Daniels a week they're an alcoholic that different levels like oh if someone has like i don't know a bottle of jack daniels a week they're an alcoholic that's just like a normal weekend here like i know people have like four or five bottles of jack daniels a week she's just like yeah i mean i mean at least in my drinking days that seems normal like we we polish a bottle of tequila like every night or vodka or whatever um yeah i mean that i there's a there's a fine line you know it's like yeah to an extent like these people are like functional alcoholics you know okay if you

if you think you can't get through a day without having a drink like that yeah that's different yeah that that's what i'm saying yeah there's that that that middle ground of like you're you know like you can't function at all like or in comparison is like you have to drink to to or you you can easily function with it it's like someone that was like a drug addict that you know can sleep and eat and then do drugs like a normal person or not normal but like day-to-day activity like maintaining the drug habit like people do that it's like well the underlying aspects you know there's some type of uh not necessarily mental illness but like some uh you know genetic differences there's some type of you

know um something missing. That's why people like Adderall and then people do methamphetamine. I go to university, I know enough about Adderall. Right, yeah. There's some chemical imbalance and it's unfortunate having the right prescription or whatnot. I don't believe

in pharmaceutical. To an extent, there's some things, but wing off of it and not use it as a crutch for life. That's the problem people have. If you use a hip replacement, of course you're going to use pharmaceuticals then. Exactly.

Then you wing yourself off. You're not going to be like, now I'm addicted to methadone or whatever, Percocets or some shit i'm like dude that's crazy like like yeah i i it's mind-blowing that people are so addicted to things like that's the one thing i'm so proud of myself i was never addicted to anything like if anything i'm addicted to like to like doing better i guess in there or making money like i was always trying to to self-improve.

And then people were like, oh, I smoke cigarettes. I just quit. I just quit smoking cigarettes one day. I was like, I'm done. Done smoking cigarettes. I've smoked cigarettes before. I'm just like, this is gross. I don't want this. It's gross. It smells bad. My breast stinks. I'm coughing

all the time. Coughing things up. I'm like, ugh. I'm like, perpetually kind of sick feeling like yeah i just never i mean i did smoke for a long time like literally from a kid like i was a kid i smoked cigarettes like like 10 years old to like 24 that's what we do with alcohol i started drinking 12 yeah like yes probably not a good good thing to do but yeah as I said different level of alcoholism it's just normal for parents to just give their kids

a drink if they want one at 12 or so yeah exactly yeah they're gonna be like that's child abuse and they're just like hey this is having fun we have like one cruiser and be done oh okay so it's not like we were fucking alcoholics or

anything but like because you're a 12 year old it's not like you can really handle that much right yeah that's how i feel like you know just take a sip you know i'm good yeah but yeah i'm having some like wine cooler like oh i'm so drunk i feel fuzzy yeah i mean my family was like that they were kind of alcoholic well dad was so hey uh can you get some water he's like oh here take a pull out of my budweiser i'm like i said water but yeah um my i'm glad that i got i got all that out of my system early. I know the feeling. Yeah, being like 30 years old and an alcoholic. Actually, as a story for alcoholism,

we actually cured my friend of alcoholism with mushrooms. Yeah. cured my friend of alcoholism with mushrooms yeah she took mushrooms and she was able to not have all the repercussions after having you know alcoholism and and then we learned that she would micro detox if she would drink just a little bit alcohol we didn't understand why would she get like extremely sick and you have to go to the hospital. So, yeah, actually, mushrooms help for alcoholism. Maybe that's the next one on the chopping block after Wade. Yeah, it is, actually. They're starting to decriminalize that, too, as well.

It's legal in Colorado. Oh, wow. And it's on the ballot, if not already passed, in Colorado. Oh, wow. It's on the ballot, if not already passed in Oregon. It's going to be that, and then it's going to be pharmaceutical NDMA. Molly, it's going to be another one.

It helps with PTSD and microdosing. Within reason, microdosing, that's great. In my mind like for people that can Use it to their benefit, you know, go ahead But if it's gonna be coming, you know Like a drug addict in some sense like no one's no one does model number than MDMA and there's a drug addict

like in that aspect like they won't just do it all the time. I mean they might but not like They don't need it, you know, it's not like they don't need it you know it's not like doing methamphetamine or you know like heroin or something like sure yeah so yeah so that's why i'm like okay those things are great uh then those aspects you know use it to your you know mental ability but don't you know abuse it you know that's just anything moderation's everything you know so but yeah yeah i tend to find moderation being a bit hard with the things that i enjoy and end up getting myself to a point where i start burning out on them it's something i've had to really work on like as much as i enjoy like making videos i was doing like seven days a week and i was doing like

pretty produced videos now what i've been doing is doing two double days so then i can have two days off at the end of the week and it's just it feels so much better to get to that monday i'm like time to get back to making videos now i'm really excited to do this as like it's obviously good to have that like moat like the i guess would be the word for it. That dedication to doing stuff every single day. But sometimes it's probably a good idea to do something else. And I've had that problem with uni as well, where I would spend like 10 hours working on assignments. It's just like, no, don't do that.

That's a bad idea. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. I tend that's kind of addictive personality i focus it on good things but yeah much sometimes that's great yeah it's having that that willpower and you know also breaks in between yeah that's the one thing with the daily library report i'm like i'm glad i don't have like such a high production. So You know just all day is grinding just to make one video for every day and I'm like, I can't do that Yeah, I'll mess up the star, you know, I'll start like the first

seconds and be like It's crypto also. Ohler, oh wait I have to do daily library daily library so usually your record time is roughly the length of the video then yeah, exactly yeah, there's no like, I don't remove anything, like if anything I do like

pausing it kind of sometimes like I think for a 15 minute video it usually takes me Anywhere from like 40 minutes to an hour or so to get it right That would be my where I think They're more technical videos and I like to go back and look at the last take I didn't like okay Is that a good take so that ends up eating a lot into that time if i didn't go back and check it would probably be half an hour

yeah honestly i don't even most of the time i don't even look at the video by the time i publish it i just publish it you just transcript it down and then just like goes up whatever yeah i'm like i'm going back outside hanging out Yeah, yeah some of them are just kind of like actually a lot of them I just put up but that to me is like For me, it's like the authenticity of like my videos. I guess Be surprised Now I'm making comment commentary videos on my previous videos or just in general I Be like, oh what the hell like I overlooked that like I said that like

Yeah, it's cool keeps me on my toes and Very as is there's some more production value and he did like I don't really have any I mean I do have some editing skills like but we're changing to Linux I do have some editing skills, like, but with changing to Linux, I'm like, uh, the editing software is a little limited-ish. Yeah, have fun with Kdenlive, that's all I'll say. Oh, okay.

It's, oh, actually, no, you're not going to have the same problem I have, because Mint has a bit of an older version of it. The, uh, newest version of Kdenlive doesn't work. I've had it crash ten times while editing a video. Oh man. But you have an older version, you have a more stable version which is good. But, have fun with that. Have fun with the newest update, it doesn't work. I don't even, haven't even really tried. I tried the OBS for recording, and I still haven't.

I guess you could also try OpenShot for editing if you wanted to do that. That was also an option. OpenShot, okay. Kade and LightMove are kind of the two alternatives for editing on Linux. There are others, but they're the big ones. Yeah, I'm like, unfortunately, I might have some editing aspects to go back to Windows a little bit just for that. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, because I have my old desktop, so I'm like, you know, it's there.

If you're more comfortable on Windows, just do it on Windows. There's no reason to force yourself to do stuff on Linux. Yeah, the biggest reason for Linux is security. Like, somebody tried to blackmail me But they're blackmailing skills were very like oh we have part of your password phrase Send us Bitcoin. They're like, what's big coins? It never responded Can you text me that to you? Okay, this is fake

But um, they're like we're gonna send a video of you watching porn Like send it to your whole family like you can send a video of me jerking off or something like what like only my family cares yeah like oh oh he jerks off like wow can you not send this to me thank you yeah i'm like no that's cool um but yeah after that I was like you know what I'm gonna go to Linux I'm gonna make sure everything's secure you know this is it just made sense and everything to me is all you know web3 kind of aspect so you know metamask and all that and everything's just javascript or html or you know just like simple

you know so it can be on linux you can be on anything really um and then my phone's actually with all these like contact tracing and was it triangulation with the cell phones and because yeah i was watching braxman uh tech he was was talking about the triangulation and how you can start using other distros on your phone. I'm like, well, yeah, because I was already looking into that. I'm like, yeah, not Cmojit, like whatever the old, they stopped. Not Cyanogen. Yeah, they stopped doing those ones. But there's more ones.

So I'm like yeah I don't want to be tracked you know not say that I'm sick and I you know contract tracing is gonna affect me but this is the privacy aspect you know just I don't want to be tracked down if I decide to just go off grid or something sure yeah but you can't have like jammer devices in America so you can't cut your signal off that's crazy that's illegal you're allowed to have tin foil

so hey that's true yeah I was like man I should probably buy a 5G jammer I don't want to die of some random poisoning you know my kids kids you know like in the back of the back of their car they have like you know four MIMO signals, and I'm like, and they're just bouncing around. And I'm like, I don't want that.

I don't want like high throughput 5G. Like, you know, maybe my smart car that doesn't take me to the right location just locks all the doors. And they're like, we're not taking you to your house now. We're taking you to the microsoft headquarters to kill you it's like going right to tesla man like that's why i feel like you know like tesla having all these like integrated robotics like they're gonna have like total control you know like what happens if

they just like turn off turn on a switch and they're like they send you to wherever you know like what happens if they just like turn off turn on a switch and they're like They send you to wherever you know, like this lock all the doors and they're like, oh that's You're dead, you know, like it's on all autonomous Actually have a movie plot that's similar to that It's called think murder ballers or no or something like that like smart murder smart murder um yeah basically i mean someone can make this it's whatever but um basically it's autonomous cars in the future and you know people get picked up by these cars and then and then one of the cars is like uh like uh uh adventually or whatever like a vigilante you know like i like a vigilante, you know,

like I like a Dexter car, you know, like Dexter. And it like kills, it kills for vengeance, but also kills because it can, you know? And so it like, it murders people just because it can, or, you know, picks up the, whoever, you know, it's like, I'm going to go pick up Bill Gates real quick or something or whoever, and I'll say kill both of them. That guy sucks.

Yeah, so just kind of like a vigilante car that kills for the right reasons. What's that movie? That one slug bug? I don't know. There's like a slug bug movie. It was like a

smart car, but their friend, like a slug bug yeah there's like a slug bug movie although it was like a i don't know like a smart car but like their friend like a friendly smart car like a smart car but like that kills for fun it's called murder car smart murder smart murder you don't even know what the movie's gonna be yeah so yeah but like this you know robotics and all this, it's going to be amazing. But people are so worried about not having jobs now. They're definitely not going to have jobs then. Anyone who thinks coming... Okay, this is from someone who has done four years of studying software engineering,

who has a passing interest in AI, who knows more than the average person at least. AI who knows more than the average person, at least, there's no reason why you couldn't automate every single human job. There's nothing, there's no technical limitation for why you couldn't automate everything that a human does. Right. Unless you think that there's something magical about human intelligence, there's nothing that can't be done by an AI and can't be done better. So, good luck.

Good luck. Get into crypto. Get into crypto. Buy fucking Amazon stocks. Buy whoever starts building the AI that's going to replace everyone's jobs. Buy stocks in that company. Yeah, there's actually,

under the Polkadot network, there is a robotics company that's being built too. I'll have to look into Polkadot after all of this. I keep chilling them. They're great. They're co-creative Ethereum

who pretty much had all the brains. Vitalik is just a young kid that programs You know like I did it like but he's not I don't feel like he's leader material you know Where Gavin would is just like he he is intelligent. He's He's just having all the technical chops. You know someone you could look up to and like he just has all the technical chops.

He has someone you can look up to and like, it's very presentable. Like it's just, it works for him. And yeah, with Polkadot, it just took everything Ethereum didn't have and made it so it could work with everybody. Yeah.

They have like, you know, all the staking mechanisms. And then now they have like the energy web token, which is the energy companies that have a robo-nomics, which is the robotics companies they have robo-nomics which is the robotics um and all uh kusama the main networks and then there's uh privacy there's high tps um what was the other ones there's uh nft uh internet of tokens um nft uh interoperability

tokens, NFT interoperability. There's just so many actual use cases out the gate. We have all this. In comparison to like, oh, this is Ethereum's second layer solution. Okay, well, when's it going to be useful? Is it going to be another shit coin or something? They just come out every day

you know if you wanna make a new coin it's not difficult just find the the bitcoin source code change a few variables wow you have a new coin now

yeah yeah that it's yeah there's so many coins that are like that they're just

that's why the shit coin meme exists because there's so many coins which are like that. That's why the shitcoin meme exists, because there's so many coins which are just Bitcoin which are just Monero or just some other coin and they didn't do anything to actually change it. Yeah, Monero was of its kind, but then actually the creator of Ethereum also, he helped create Zcatch. Okay. of a theorem also he created helped create Z catch okay so they have you know ZK snarks and ZK roll-ups and all that like like that's very useful they just added that to was it called plasma or follow I mean that's follow no no actually it's not they don't use ZK but that's

part of like their tool set like when you build watching you can add these certain runtime modules to be like, okay, I want ZK, I want high TPS, I want staking mechanisms, consensus, just all these other aspects to build specific blockchains where the toolkit for solidity is

just like, I mean, I don't know that much in technical terms, but it seems a little bit more bulky, you know, because it was early on. And then, you know, Parity Technologies was a creator of Solidity, I believe. And then they produced Substrate, which is a whole new set of toolkits for blockchain creation. So, and it's just just like the way it's set up is just high security um high tps um uh staking mechanisms out the gate pretty much and then having consensus government governance um and then a lot of these like um yeah validators and nominators and

uh what is it uh yeah there's other people that watch certain people. So they have to be voted into a certain thing and they can only be there for so long. And then you have to put your money up. So staking up so much, you can, if you become a, like if you do something negative or don't maintain your node,

then you can be flashed. And then there's these fishermen that watch them. So there's like all these people that are in certain, like not jurisdictions, but certain governments that watch over everything. So you get incentivized by staking and receiving quantity of the currency. But you also get your

money taken away if you do something bad. And their claim to fame is interoperability, their heterogeneous networks, less trust and more truth. they're heterogeneous networks and less, less trust and more truth. So instead of,

cause there, cause I was like, Oh yeah, decentralized, decentralized, but all those also utilizing centralized networks by using trusted outlets to access, access them.

So that's, that's the you know being able to use YouTube and having the privacy aspects still where they're not stealing your information and you know whatnot so yeah that's what they're creating you know it's like why not use pre-existing technology and build you know truth mechanisms instead of just fully decentralized. It's great that it's decentralized, but some of these centralized aspects are useful. Having off-chain information like Chainlink is important because we can't just transition the whole world to decentralized overnight.

You can't put everything on the blockchain. That's just not happening. Exactly. There's a lot of security. Pokemon itself, like the main network, is the highest security aspect. And then everything else is a shared security pool.

So they wanted to put the banking system on there, more enterprise. And then everybody else can start off with Kusama, which is like the open network you can just try things on, and then you work yourself up to Polkadot

or just build yourself as a parachain shard on other ones, so, you know. But yeah, what was I saying? So, yeah, Polkadot is, yeah, has a lot of potential you know it's basically just Ethereum

but way better you know but it started as a library chat and then it ended with you shilling Polkadot so that as I would expect judging from the content on your channel so

so I think that's as good a time as any to end the podcast we've been going for like two and a half hours at this point and i have some other stuff i have to get done today so it has been a lot of fun talking to you it's been great i i really enjoy you uh your your humor and your mannerisms and like your your humorous and yeah very intuitive and i enjoy your podcast thank you it definitely needs some work still but it it's getting better great so i've actually started doing something new i don't know if you've seen any of the latest episodes right at at the end, I'm actually doing a channel shout-out now.

That one I don't recognize. Yeah, Rainbow Jaw. I forgot what they do. I watched some of his videos. Time Lapse Lord. Time Lapse Lord. Yeah, he does the what they do but yeah i watched some of those videos uh time lapse lord time lapse lord yeah he does the time lapse video of like the sky and like it's pretty cool i enjoy it oh i think i've seen that one yeah it's great how do you how do you, time. L-A-P-S-E, Lord, L-O-R-D.

Oh, okay, I spelled it like that. I can't find it. Yeah, let me see. Timelapse, Lord. Am I even following him? Timelapse, Lord. Am I even following him? TimeLapseLord So go check out Unidelic, TimeLapseLord and RainbowJaw And as for me, I'm gonna say, I brought up the channel before But go check out, how do I, oh god your name is annoying I'm gonna find it off screen

We mentioned him earlier in the show uh oh that's how you spell it oh the azarius uh yeah however i need to bring him on the show and ask him how in the world you say his name i'm gonna say is like aureus denarius or something like that I'm going to say, is it like Oreos Denarius or something like that? Oreos. I don't know. You make really good videos. And I'm going to ask you to come on the podcast. He is following me on Twitter, so I'll just send him a DM after this. Yeah, he does a lot of crypto videos and how to cut your expenses.

And the video I first watched from him was like, why does money exist? Which I think is awesome. awesome yeah that's what i watched the um origin of money yeah that was really so yeah rainbow jaw uni dark time lapse lord and also orius denarius go check them out they are all awesome channels so do you have any socials you want to show yourself? Obviously, your library channel. Socials.

Any links you want to show? I'll put anything you want in the description down below as well. Yeah, I mean, watch What's New with Jeremy Kaufman, the CEO of Library. Like, he's, you know, very... Any of your stuff. You can shout out the people you want, but I was talking about your stuff specifically. My stuff? Okay.

Definitely check out more about Polkadot, of course. What else? I mean, that's pretty much it. Check out Meta Metropolis. It's one of the biggest dApps. It's the biggest virtual property dApp I've ever seen.

We're in the 30 million mark right now. What else? And look out for Darwinia, which is also part of Polkadot. They're going to be coming out with their main net. So there's a lot of... There's free faucets, so you can get free

Searing. I was specifically asking about your library channel and your Twitter account and stuff. It's fine, you can chill as much as you want. It's the end of the podcast. No one's going to watch this one anyway. Okay, okay.

Follow me on YouTube I have like 16 followers you got that right today what else follow me on Twitter at I'm Crypto Hustler I only have 370 followers like nobody

what else and obviously your library channel oh yeah CryptoHustler101 on my library channel. Oh yeah. CryptoAlter101 on my library channel. Of course. Follow me. And that's all you got? Cool. Yeah.

So yeah, this has been the 16th episode of Tech Over Tea. Before I go, I want to thank my patrons Joachim, Nathan, Andrew, Montazar, Piotr D. Rotonin, Donal, Okulari, and Zilva. If you want to support the channel, there'll be a, Andrew, Montazar, Pio.de, Rotoninon, Okulari and Zylva.
