US Stablecoin Act Nothing More Than A CBDC
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wmzixezx The GENIUS stablecoin act is nothing more than a CBDC.
In this video we discuss the premise that we are dealing with a decentralized CBDC through regulation. Asset backed stablecoins will be subject to KYC, AML, and sanctions laws. Is this a defacto CBDC?

Crypto Markets Puking on Tariffs
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kyqrbfjg Markets of all kinds are selling off. It is tariff-mania, something that is not sitting well.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing uncertainty. Nothing puts markets more on edge than this. Risk on is not on the table, sending crypto falling to the floor.
Could The US Crypto Strategic Reserve Be Used To Influence Networks?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pclmltrb Many look at the proposed inclusion of Cardano, XRP and Solana in the crypto reserve fund as a mistake.

Trump Posted That US Strategic Crypto Reserve Is Going Forward
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dihpubfp It appears the United States government is going to have Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency as part of a strategic reserve.

USDC Now Approved Stabliecoin In Duba
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qhumemcz The stablecoin world is rapidly advancing. While we wait for regulations out of the US, other countries are tending to their own turf.

Is the Digital Divide Widened AI Paywalls?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fmbinaih Are the implications of AI paywalls going to result in a widening of the digital divide?
In this video I discuss this question from a couple angles. There is the theory that we deal with although the speed of AI might not make it necessarily the case. Then we have the smaller models.
Bitcoin As A Reserve - Updates
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qvadxffh We are getting close to having something pass the legislation process. Utah is moving closer to becoming the first state to pass a law allowing for digital assets as a erserve.
In this video I discuss how Utah could open the floodgates to other states following suit. The federal level might take a bit longer. My guess is we get Utah and Wyoming fairly quickly.
The Explosion of the Stablecoin Market: The US Dollar and Network Effects
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kocvcpbd With regulatory clarity, we are going to see thousands of stablecoins created, most of them USD denominated.

Will AI Become Conscious?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/syaklznk This is a question that is spurring great debate. In this video, I give my thoughts on this topic.
It is based upon the work of Roger Penrose and Federico Faggin. They have spend decades looking into quantum and computering engineering to try and figure out the answer.
Peter Schiff: Bitcoin a Ponzi Scheme
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vigijqnd Peter Schiff is at it again. He came out and called Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme.
Is he right?
I dive into this during this video. There are a few things to look at, something that is worthy of bringing up in the discussion.
GDP and the New Economy
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nmqokhvj GDP is a number that is often cited but what does it really tell us? Actually, what does it even pertain to and what is the relevance in the economy that is forming?
In this video I discuss some of the history of this metric along with where it is faulty. At this point, it is the best we have so I guess we are stuck with it until someone comes up with a metric that many agree upon has validity.
Should Trump Push To End The Fed? My Thoughts
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ndejellu I am not sure how much discussion there is about this but I did see a headline covering this. For this reason, I thought I would give my views.
In this video I talk about what should be done instead just ending the Fed (if that were even possible). There are a couple of things pertaining to the mandates along with a return to what the Fed was designed to do.
Crypto: The Focus Should Be On Wealth And Not Income
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kprsqgqx CEOs make a fortune. However, when you look at their salaries, while very high, that does not lead to billions.
In this video I discuss what leads to billions in net worth and what we can learn from it in crypto.
Web 3.0 And Digital Identity
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kqoaxnek This is something that get seriously overlooked. It is part of the power we had to Web 2.0 corporations.
In this video I discuss the idea of digital identities and how sovereignty is crucial. What happens if some company kills your digital identity or a large portion of it?
What Percentage of Global GDP Can Come From Crypto?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lmeueghc Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, gave a forecast that he thinks 10% of clobal GDP will come from crypto by 2030.
In this video I discuss some of the parameters that could play into this. Forecasts are just guesses who his is as valid as any. That said, I think we might see a higher percentage since I think AI and crypto are linked together.
The Layering On Top of Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tljhbwvi Russian Brokerage Finam is offering notes linked to Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing more layers built on top of Bitcoin. This is what Wall Street does, something that Web 3.0 can learn from.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:

Crypto As Collateral
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tvkiuxql The trading of crypto in 2024 topped $19 trillion.
In this video I discuss how that is small compared to the volume on the repo market, one form of lending. Collateralization of crypto is what can expand the impact of the industry a great deal.
Jerome Powell: No CBDC From The Fed (Again(
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vactbrwy Jerome Powell was in front of Congress, when he was asked about a CBDC from the Fed.

Bitcoin Bills Growing: Colleges Adding BTC To Reserve
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ilelzkkm This is very positive for Bitcoin.
Over the last few months, I did my best to help frame Bitcoin against the lens of where it fits. Unfortunately, what the maxis proclaim is not true. This can mislead a lot of people.
In this video I discuss what is happening with some of these bills and how it helps to provide clarity for BTC.
What Will It Take For AltCoin Season To Kick Off
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cnavbaoq Many are wondering when Altcoin season will get started. Bitcoin gets a lot of attention but alts can provide a greater boost.
In this video I discuss what it might take to get altseason going.
The Widespread Use of AI
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/difrorrh This is coming. We have roughly 3 years before the economy is completely transformed. There will come a time where we have automated economies.
In this video I discuss how we are looking at a future of AI assistants. This will come after reasonsing.
The likely order of progression is chatbots, reasoning, and then AI agents. The massive use of agents (swarms) can only come after reasoning.
LeoMerchant: A Point of Sale System That Hleps HBD
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kkapfgxc Leo has come out with a new application called LeoMerchant. This is a payment rail that has a host of implications.

The Shift from Industrial to Digital And Crypto's Importance
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cwybpukv The world is not ready for the massive expansion of the digital realm. This includes people, governments, and the education system.
In this video I discuss how the specialization of the last 150 years is waning. Society is set up for this, but it is now obsolete. We are looking at complete shift. I dive into a few tidbits that are part of the future path to success.
The Golden Age For Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mvjktbju The title borrowing the moniker from the Trump Administration.

In this video I discuss what this all means. We are ushering a new era where the foot is being removed from the thr

Utah Likely The First US State To Add Bitcoin As Part Of Its Reserve
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ikttgifc The Bitcoin race is on.
We see there are roughly 15 states with varying degrees of action regarding the establishment of Bitcoin (and other crypto) as part of their reserves. The state of Utah could be the first in the US to approve this due to its legislation calendar. There is a 45 day window to get something done.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:

USDT To Bitcoin (Lightning) - Why?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ebxjcmdo I have long tried to frame Bitcoin in the proper light. We now have another affirmation of what I have claimed over the last few years.
Tether annunced it will bring USDT to Bitcoin and Lightning networks. Why is that happening?
This makes sense for Tether but it also highlights a flaw with Bitcoin itself. Why is a medium of exchange if BTC serves as that?
We dig into it.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mnixgwcr We are truly at a crossroads. Things are moving very quickly with AI, to the point where Big Tech is making major strides.
In this video, I discuss how humanity has to make a choice. We are the ones feeding the mega tech companies, especially social media. This means their systems only get more powerful. Democratizing data is one of the steps to stopping this.
Technology's Impact: The Advancement of the Mobile Phone
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jszetldc In the 1980s, the mobile phone was a tool (toy) for the wealthy. These phones were expensive and the service even worse. On top of that, the service was spotty, with deadzones being the norm.
Today, billions of people across the globe have these devices. We are no longer dealing with phones, since they are basically mini computers. These are more powerful than the Nasa computers during some of their early missions.
This is one example of why

Bitcoin Hijacking: Michael Saylor Announces Plans To Form A "Bitcoin Bank"
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xtqinega The hijacking by Wall Street continues.
Michael Saylor is a long time favorite of Bitcoin people. The problem is he is not a Bitcoiner but a Wall Street person.
In this video I discuss how Saylor is continuing the hijacking of Bitcoin with the idea of his "Bitcoin Bank". This is going to be another example of layers of TradFi products piled on top of Bitcoin, all regulated by the government.

Who Is Peter Todd And Why It Doesn't Matter If He Is Satosshi Or Not
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bhtwjgda HBO named Peter Todd as Satoshi in its latest special. It is something that he denies.

Scaling Is The Key To AI's Future
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rahbjodp AI is expanding rapidly. That said, the key is going to be in the ability to scale. We are watching things moving at a pace never seen before. Can we keep it up?
In this video I look at the different areas where scaling is necesssary. This includes what Big Tech is going to do along with the declining cost curves which will enable horizontal expansion.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kmldkrrq Google is being searched by the US government for anti-trust. The timing is rather ironic.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xiljnttr The UAE passed legislation that exempted crypto from the VAT. This is a move designed to make it a crypto friendly place.

Guggenheim Issues Commercial Paper On Ehtereum
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ayyvrpnx Guggenheim issued commercial paper on Ethereum. This was $20 million worth.
This is not a major surprise and the direction things are heading.
In this video I discuss how things have changed and we are far removed from the vision of the early crypto people. In fact, TradFi is simplly cutting their costs. It is nothing but the same exclusionary system.

Wall Street Experimenting With Bitcoin Backed Lending

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eurjuipq Could Bitcoin reach $200K by 2025?
In this video I lay out how this could be the case. It is not from the common perspective. We have a situation where we might be on the brink of WW3. If this occurs, there is one advantage that Bitcoin has: neutrality.

This Is Why Holding Assets Is Important (Even Crypto/Digital Assets)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xvroficd The wealthy hold assets.
They focus upon net worth as opposed to income. The middle class and the poor, on the other hand, take a different approach.
In this video I discuss how crypto are assets meaning the same premise applies. Sadly, most are not looking at things in this manner.
We dig into it.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qmmyrogq The World Liberty Financial project, which is started by the Trump sons, is set to go live. This is something that is being discussed as an option to the banks.
In this video I go through how this is not different than any other VC funded entity. While it does tie into Ethereuem and use stablecoins, I would not say this has much to do with crypto values. It will use stablecoins, I presume for payments and settlement but it is not DeFi.

Countries Using Crypto To Evade Sanctions: That Is How We Know It Is Working

When dealing with the traditional financial system, everything is not only monitored but controlled. This is how countries such as the US seek to do harm to those who do not agree (obey?) it.
In this video I discuss how these countries are using crypto to operate outside the traditional financial system. Since these transactions are peer-to-peer, we
The Importance of Web 3.0 In The AI Era
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cmoumjal Artificial Intelligence, along with other technologies, are going to chance society completely by the middle of the next decade. We are likely to see as big a difference as life in the 1980s without mobile and internet versus 2015 with those.
In this video I discuss how it is crucial that people start to immerse themselves in the idea of ownership. Here is where a major shift is required to excel with what is taking place.
The Financialization of Bitcoin: Good or Bad Thing?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vmmhbsob In this video I dig into what the financialization of Bitcoin means. The exchanges withdrew their applications for options based upon Bitcoin Spot ETFs but are resubmitting them.
We delve in what this means and if it is going to evolve how some people are imaging.
Here is the article discussed in the video:

The Plummeting Cost of AI Inference And What It Means
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sgvhjkxm We are seeing the cost of inference computing dropping very rapidly. We have projections where ChatGPT 4.0 quality could be attained on a smartphone by the end of 2026.
In this video I discuss how this will localize AI and how it could change things. This opens up the potential for many agents to run locally while avoiding cloud processing.
Grok Update And The Importance of LLMs Going Forward
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rtfvmpdd Grok is now out with a version that passes the metric of the others. This is the LLM game. It will hold the title until another one shows up with their latest version.
In this video I discuss how the next major rollouts of these models (V4 for many other than ChatGPT which is 5.0) should send on the exponential. I also dive into why these are so important.
The Ideal Use Case For The Metaverse
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dilybwbz In this video we are going to discuss the idea usecase for the Metaverse.
We had a hype cycle a couple years ago which was nothing but vaporware at the time. Here we define some of the terms and see how this can be used to solve a major problem in the world is facing.
2025: The Year of Crypto

Technology: The Future Of Animation Is Not Hollywood
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jfjgqjrj We are already seeing a streamrolling of Hollywood. Now, we get another aspect under fire: animation.
In this video I discuss how animators are finding life tough in Hollywood right now as studios adapt. The upcoming AI wave is only going to present a bigger problem, not only for the workers but also the studios, as it advances. This is one of the most widespread disruptions taking place before our eyes.

The Japan Carry Trade And How It Wiped Out Markets
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mmgcymlo What does the Japanese carry trade have to do with the wiping out of markets?

The Market Crash And What Is Going On
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xqzzodgq The crypto market got crushed. So did the stock market. What is going on?
In this video I discuss some of what we went over in the past along with the liquidity situation. This entails how the USD was causing problems for both China and Japan. With this move, along with the increase chances of the Fed easing, we are looking at the cover those countris need. This is going to, ultimately, be bullish for crypto.
Embedded AI And The Future Economy
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ngwxbgcc What is the future of our economies? This is, naturally, a hard question to answer.
In this video I discuss embedded AI and the transformation we could see from that. When we move from local generationalization to a wide one with our systems, through the "mobilization" of AI, things will change completely.
Compute As Currency: Is This The Future?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sjjtbaxl In this video I take a look at the idea of compute as currency.
With the advancement of AI along with the expansion of the digital world, how will things look with AI and robotos generating the largest percentage of economic output.
This means current metrics will not suffice in the new economy. How are things going to transition going forward? This is something worth thinking about.
AI And The Massive Energy Problem
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tehjlwok AI is the rage. TIt also is not going anywhere.
In this video I discuss how we are going to see a huge bottleneck within countries as the AI race keeps expanding. Since this is entering every aspect of life, i.e all industries, where are we going to get the ability to have enough electricity? This is a problem that many nations are going to be confronted with.

Bitcoin And NVIDIA Hype: The Parellels And Differences
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ofnebizw There is a lot of talk about Bitcoin of late. We have politicians making it part of their platform durning campaign season.
In this video I discuss how that parallels another hype stock, NIVIDIA. There are a few differences to be mindful of.
Bitcoin Holding Centralization Is Growing And Why It Doesnt Really Matter
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xvxnbgzb Bitcoin is fixed money. This means that it was destined to pool.
We are seeing that and some are rasising flags about it. One of the keys with Bitcoin is the fact that coin allocation means nothing to the network.
When it comes to markate manipulation, something as evident as this would draw eyeballs. To me, the conetralization of the mining companies, at least the ownership, thorugh the public markets and investments by Blackrock is a larger
Will AI And Robotics Take All The Jobs?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ofzzhxbc This is a question that many are discussing.
In this article I take a show at this and how I see things unfolding. It is important to note that we need to achieve some levels of advancement before this becomes a reality. Hence, there are some ifs in here.
Donald Trump And Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jaxrfusw It seems that Trump was speaking at the crypto conference, asserting that he wants to make the US the crypto capital of the world.
In this video I discuss how this could be campaign rhetoric meant to try and get votes. Even if it isnt, we still have to resist looking to government (and its leaders) for permission to succeed with crypto.
Government consent is not required.
The Age of Abundance, Technology, And JP Morgan
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gunwgbxq JP Morgan is one of the richest men in the history of the world. His status is one of the all time members of the financial industry is well known.
In this video I discuss how, in spite of being one of the richest of his time, he had a fraciton of what most people have today. Obviously, things change over 100 years but it shows how technology raises standards in ways most miss.
Another vital piece is the most that was made over the last 100 yea
Bitcoin To Reach $52 Million By 2050
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lsywrdgm VanEck says that Bitcoin will get to $52 million by 2050. This is based upon it being embraced as the world's reserve asset.
In this video I discussed how RFK, Jr has said he will force the US to buy over $600 billion in Bitcoin. These together make it plausible that we could see what VanEck describes if these things come into being.
OpenAI Going To Lose $5B: Needs Another Cash Raise
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vxnbpeew OpenAI is on path to lose $5B this year. It is going through about $7B in training and $1.5B in staff.
In this video I discuss the different players and how they are faring in the AI race. The monetization is crucial since the cash burn is huge. OpenAI is not unique in this situation. The difference is most of the others are large organizations.

Bitcoin As National Treasury Gaining Some Momentum
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/noebkfwi When things move from speculation to advocacy, it is a world of difference. We are starting to see this with Bitcoin as an asset held in the national treasury of the US Governmnet.
In this video I discuss this idea, that was also recently pushed by Trump on the campaign trail (for whatever that is worth), and how it could start snowballing into becoming reality.

Cryptocurrency, Politics and JD Vance
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ainrrtif There are a lot of people trying to figure out where crypto stands based upon the politics that we see unfolding in the US.
In this video I discuss how none of this matters, directly at least. Some are claiming that Vance, since he owned Bitcoin, could be friendly. To me, there is a more important issue that Vance might bring to the table.
Ethereum ETFs To Go Live Next Week And The Fees
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kudtlsib The Ethereum ETF is turning cut throat. We see this in the fees.
In this video I discuss how we are dealing with people who are most likely HODLers based upon what type of accounts are buying these ETFs. Thus, the fees, are crucial to the return people ultimately get.

Some Bitcoin News: Bitcoin As The Global Reserve Asset And Transactions Eclipse Mastercard/Visa
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qosqikbl There are a couple of articles that are worthy of mentioned.
In this video I discuss the idea of Bitcoin as a global reserve asset. This is something that Mark Cuban most recently floated (not a new idea). We also have a report that Bitcoin exceeded MC/Visa transactions. This is a bit misleading since BTC isnt a medium of exchange, hence not really a payment system in the sense these others are.
Here are the articles:

The Technological Cycle And How Complex Systems Evolve
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jfvxxdec We form and create complex organisms through our technologies. This is especially true in the digital world where we have platforms that have many different feedback loops and circular systems contained within them.
In this video I go through Meta as an example of a microcosm of what we are creating. This is all part of a larger system that is unfolding in a huge way.
Where Does JD Vance Stand On Crypto?

In this video I discuss what we know about these and how they fit into the future that we are looking at.
Let's Give Some Attention To The SpkNetwork
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fqzzpqap Its been a while since I talked about the SpkNetwork. This is an extremely important development that has enormous potential.
What is it? Basically, we are talking about decentralized cloud.
In this video I discuss how the siloed Internet is from the ground up. That means have decentralized applications or networks built on top of centralized infrastructure is meaningless. There is still counterparty risk, i.e. getting shut down.

AI Video Technology And How It Will Change Everything
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nhwbocow Video is obviously a huge part of our lives. Whether it is broadcast television, Hollywood films, TicTok, or YouTube, we know it is something that people gravitate to.
In this video I discuss how we are looking at a massive transformation in this realm due to AI. It is going to change everything and, thus, revolutionize our relationship with video.
AI Bubble Versus Growth And A Comparison To The DotCom Era
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gagczdkj Are we in an AI bubble? Many seem to think so.
Is there only hype around AI? This is something many confuse.
In this video I discuss market action which causes bubbles along with the two factors to consider with growth of a technology (AI in this case). I also do my best to overlay this against the dotcom era and Internet days.
Money 101: Sovereign Debt Crisis (Part 2)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tkcnlqui What happens with a sovereign debt crisis?
To sum it up in one word: austerity.
In this video I discuss how the government promises no longer mean anything. This becomes a major issue if there is a series of these taking place at the same time. Could this happen? It is one of those when as compared to if.
Real World Assets: BUIDL Fund Hits $500 Million in 4 Months
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jjmdruld When you hear big numbers associated with crypto, keep in mind this will often include real world assets. The potential of RWA is huge.
In this video I discuss how BUIDL, a fund created by Blackrock that is backed by US Treasuries and the token trades on Ethereum, surpassed $500 million. This occurs in about 4 months.
Here is the link to the article:

Money 101: Sovereign Debt Crisis (Part 1)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nampcnho In this video I discuss what feeds into a sovereign debt crisis.
We often hear the media (and clickbaiters) talking about a bank crisis and how it is coming. This is soft pitch softball. A bank crisis can be handle by the major central bank. What they are impotent against is a sovereign debt crisis. In fact everybody is.
Part 1 sets the stage for what creates them.
In the second part, we will go through what they entail.
The Innovation of Web 3.0 And How This Can Increase Economic Productivity
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hbcyysuk We are entering the era where Web 3.0 is starting to take off. This is different from Web3 which Gavin Wood coined.
In this video I discuss how this is tied to economic productivity and how the structure of organizations (i.e. tokenization) can lead to increase in value distribution.
Interest Rates: What Will The Fed Do And What Is Feeding Into It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fjfygvrm The interest rate story is always an interesting one since it is tied to inflation. That alone is a topic that can get very confusing.
In this video I discuss some of the signs that global economy is worse than the media and economists are letting on. We see major changes in elections, a sign that things are not as good as advertised It is common, when things are going poorly, the incumbants get booted.
Raoul Pal: Crypto Will Have A $100 Trillion Market Cap
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uiudfybt Raoul Pal is a well known crypto bull. He is a long time advocate of what is taking place within the crypto market.

How To Survive Crypto Market Crashes And Being An Owner
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ezrgjedp There is nothing we can do about Bitcoin. If you are invested in it, then that is it. You are at the whim of the market. If the belief is that there is enormous long term potential, then ignore the noise and look in a couple years.
In this video I also cover Hive and why this is a bit different. Here we see the difference between being an investor like with Bitcoin and an owner.
Donald Mentions the USG Having Bitcoin As Part Of Its Strategic Reserve
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vcomlghx Donald Trump is talking up crypto on the Bitcoin trail. His latest idea is for the US Government to add Bitcoin to its strategic reserve.

Gemini: Ethereum ETFs Will See $5 Billion In Inflows
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ajzxidfo Gemini has come out and said that Ethereum ETFs will eventually see $5 billion in inflows.
In this video I discuss how we are looking at a massive amount of money, even if it doesnt rival Bitcoin, coming in when these ETFs finally go live.
I do discuss the gold-silver analogy with regards to the ETFs while also offering a bit of a twist that Ethereum could throw in.
The Supreme Court Just Trimmed Gensler's Wings A Bit
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hxxhmugd The Supreme Court came out with a decision last week which has gotten many in the crypto world excited. It trimmed back the authority the agencies of the executive branch has.
In this video I discuss what took place and how this is encouraging for crypto. There is still a lack of clarity surrounding crypto but companies that are targeted do have some protection now.
Peter Thiel Says That Bitcoin's Original Value Is Done And It Might Not Move Higher
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hiwaovux Peter Thiel, of PayPal fame, was an early Bitcoin bull. He has supported the premise of what BTC was developed for.
In this video I discuss how Thiel feels the original value envisioned by Satoshi is now gone and the price action might reflect that. This is something that I discussed and have noted by the hijacking of it by Wall Street. However, Thiel misses a point when it comes to the markets.
The Chatbox Race and What It Tells Us About How Things Could Unfold
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ryoedrtc Many are ready to proclaim OpenAI the big winner. This is something that could be premature.

Why The Presidential Debate Shows Us The Need For Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/brvfxpnq We had the Presidential Debate in the US and it drives home a major point.
In this video I discuss how the nation-state is failing people, something we saw throughout history. Now, there is an alternative, especially as we move deeper into the digital world. This means we have to start thinking about the process of an alternative. This means considering how we can incorporate the concept of the network-state in a manner that isnt condoning of
Technology's Impact Upon Society And The 20 Year Waves

We are now in a cycle where we will see a great deal of impact between 2020 and 2040. In fact, the progress of LLMs alone is already changing things.
The Fed, USDC, And CBDC
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mwbottwx Will the Fed bring out a CBDC? This is the question on the minds of many.
In this video I discuss why this isnt even necessary and how there is another way to approach this without CBDC. As the title reflects, this can be done through USDC.
US Congressman Presents Bill To Pay Income Taxes In Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yarksbtr There is an interesting bill that was presented in the US Congress. It is one which would allow citizens pay their income taxes in bitcoin.

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin To $10 Million
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rfsyielm Michael Saylor is bullish. He is now stating that he can see Bitcoin at $10 million.

Money 101: The Idea of Money Created Out Of Thin Air
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hjfjtrof In this video we discuss the mythology of money being created out of thin air.
This is another one of the concepts that might have been vaild in the past but is no longer the case with the money supply under fraction reserve banking. When we look at what goes into expanding the money supply, it is not just money printing. Instead, we actually see economic productivity tied to it.
An important concept is the accounting tied to the money supply a
The Importance of Digital Assets
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sbyojrik We are going to see jobs eliminated due to technology. Things are advancing rather rapidly.
In this video I discuss how one of the major problems the general population has is a lack of assets. Digital assets offer an option for people. This is going to be essential going forward.
The Hive Network And The Parallel With Technology
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uqdfdzhg Hive is a technology. This is a digital network that follows the same characteristics of technology.
In this video I discuss a parallel to streaming and how it doesnt operate within a vacuum. We can see the multiple ways this all is impacted.
The Potentiality of Web 3 Networks
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jamjrllf A lot of insight is garnered by stepping back and viewing things from afar. When it comes to Web 3.0, and the networks in particular, the potentiality is enormous.
In this video I discuss some of the numbers that Web 3.0 networks can be looking at. By this I delve into the market caps of some of the industries we can already see aligning. What type of value is up for grabs and could be converted over? Here is where we seek to gain some insigh
Why I Am Optimistic Above Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rpvkfvyl When the prices in the markets drop, people start to question the validity of the initiatives the tokens are tied to.
In this video I discuss some things that make me optimistic about Hive. These are some recent rollouts that show how, decentralization, over time ends up expanding in different directions.
What To Do When The Price Of Hive Crashes
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/httqjhis Hive is on the decline. What to do?
We go through this every so often. We see many panic believing that things are going downhill.
In this video I discuss how the market is not a good method to validate decisions. It is also does not tell what is going on with an ecosystem. H
Here is where a long term view of things along with some perspective is required.
The Evolutionary Nature of Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xhqwdyqi When we step back from technology, we see how trends emerge. With technologies, we see how the evolve over time.
In this video I discuss how Hive fits into this scenario. We are seeing how it is not an overnight process. The idea is to keep adding until we get more interconnectedness. This is how the tentacles of technology spread.
Markets Versus Technology Trends
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tfchahfy This is a topic I have been meaning to touch upon.
Markets do what they do. They go up and down. Technological trends are a bit different.
In this video I discuss how the Dotcom is a prime example of the difference between the two. This is something we have to keep separate when considering cryptocurrency.
Web3 Versus Web 3.0: What Is The Difference
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ygwsjycp I often discuss these two topics, separating them. Some might get confused about what is meant by them.
In this video I cover what Web 3.0 and how it is a variety of technologies, including Web3.
The Importance of the Hive Backed Dollar (HBD)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/crkzmzwk The Hive Backed Dollar (HBD) offers something to potentially billions of people. It enables then to get dollar denominated assets which protects against the decline in the value of their local currency.
In this video I discuss all this gives people who do not have access to US dollars through their banks. It is something that operates in digitial form, which most have to use the dollars in banknote form.
Money 101: The Petrodollar Isnt Dead - It Never Existed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eemhaoir Many are focusing upon the fact that Saudi Arabia is writing contracts outside the USD. This is causing a lot of posts with "the end of the petrodollar" narrative.
In this video I discuss a fundamental flaw in this theory: the petrodollar wasnt real. If we look at the numbers, we can see how that is a small portion of the USD based trading. When we compare it to the repo market, we are looking at a 1000x in size against the oil industry portio
The Progression Of AI And How It Applies In The Real World
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bwupwpew We are already seeing some use cases for AI. This is going to change what people usually consider to be the "arts".
In this video I discuss AI and where the lines are in the sand is. I delve into some areas where changes are already being felt.
Why I Post Videos On 3Speak And Not YouTube
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qyqamyof I have somewhere around 3,000 videos on 3speak. The total I have on YouTube is zero.
In this video I discuss why I do this. It relates to the Web 3.0 concept along with data/AI training. This is something that is vital for people to consider.
The Fatality Of Short Term Thinking Especially In Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kpsfchdd Short term thinking is death when it comes to building wealth. Crypto is a prime example of this.
In this video I discuss how we can sabotage our path to success by focuing upon short term time frames. This is what most do which tells us where they are going to be.
SLMs The Future Of Web3?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tmcvfvsw In this video I discuss how Web 3.0 includes a lot more than just blockchain and crypto. With the future of many technologies eventually coming together how will this affect things? We discuss the SLM and what they could mean for applications.LLMs are getting a lot of attention but is that where the money resides. I have a feeling they will be commodities meaning Web3 is going to derive value from elsewhere.
We Are Going To Need Tens Of Trillions In Stablecoins
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hgnjimcd We are going to see a massive expansion of the digital world. This is true whether we see the Metaverse (multi-world) around the corner or not.
In this video I discuss medium of exchange currency along with the velocity of money. Will this slow down due to Web 3.0? This is something we have to look at. If so, we are likely going to be tens of trillions more in stablecoins than what we normally would.
Web 3.0 And The Technological Evolution
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uayooagw Technology is racing ahead and changing a lot of things. This evolution means there is enormous opportunity.
With Web 3.0, tokenization and blockchain are vital factors. We are able to ride the wave of advancement of these ideas which are actually umbrellas (like technology or AI). Because of that, we are looking at no moats, where the limitations are (sector) are removed.
Money 101: Inflation And Supply/Demand Equation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ytfvbfzz We are doing another Money 101 episode and we are looking at inflation.
In this video I discuss how, while most simply look at it as "the money printing caused it", there is a basic equation that rarely gets brought up. This is the supply/demand equation, a basic in economics and business in general.
Wall Street Taking Crypto And Running With It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fawauboq Gary Gensler appeared on one of the financial networks. Naturally, after the Ethereum ETF approval, he was asked about other currencies receiving the same consideration.
In this video I discuss how we are already seeing the first wave of Wall Street doing its thing. There will be a host of products it builds; ETFs are just the start. There are some headlines that some are already working on double and triple leverage ETFs and, I presume, inver
SEC Opened The Barn Door For Bitcoin And Ethereum ETFs
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nyrqbnsq Here is a link to the article mentioned in the video:
https://decrypt.co/233874/ethereum-etf-5-billion-first-five-months
When the SEC approved the Bitcoin Spot ETF, they opened the barn door. The same was true with Ethereum a couple weeks ago.
In this video I discuss how even if there were others approved ahead of the SEC, this is what leads other countries to follow suit. We are going to see this spread to other countries throughout the world.
The Internet Is Going Into Overdrive Which Is Going To Be Huge For Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/puoqwffb Nvidia did a conference where they introduced their latest chip. Jensen Huang, the CEO of the company pointed how the Blackwell line of chips amounts to a 1,000x over the chips 8 years ago.
In this video I discuss how this far eclipses Moore's Law and what this means for crypto. We are going to see a massive opportunity due to AI.
Will Cryptocurrency Save People From Job Losses Due To AI?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qhgpecwk In this video I go through a couple different points.
The first is my view on the potential of technology take out a large number of jobs and why that is a viable possibility.
Secondly, I discuss how we have income capital that, at the moment, tends to be tied to our jobs. What will replace this if it goes away? Here is where cryptocurrency could step in.
The Move Of Wall Street And Regulators Into Crypto And Why It Wont Matter
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yyupcmcj The approval of the Bitcoin and Ethereum Spot ETFs are all part of the move towards pushing crypto into the hands of Wall Street.
In this video I discuss how this is not going to matter in the long run. There are things taking place which make crypto non-financial. Here is where the regulators (and banks) are fighting the wrong fight.
What Is Going On With Crypto (5/31/24)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hkgyamkc What is going on in the world of crypto?
In this video I am trying something new, the idea of giving some perspective on what I see taking place with crypto. We cover some of the major headlines that seem to be garnering some attention.
The Great Crypto Gold Rush
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hbhcaeiz The ETFs are showing how Wall Street is viewing crypto. It is an all out race in the newest gold rush.
In this video I discuss how we are looking at a potential $1 quadrillion market cap. Here is an opportunity for millions of people to change their financial future.
Cathie Wood On Why The SEC Approved The Ethereum ETF
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gcvvmlgc Here is the link to the article mentioned:
https://en.bitcoinsistemi.com/billionaire-cathie-wood-reveals-the-real-reason-ethereum-spot-etfs-were-approved-and-the-likelihood-of-solana-etfs-being-approved/
Cathie Wood of Ark Invest has come out with her opinion of why the SEC did an about face on the Ethereum ETF. It is important to keep in mind her firm is one of the ones that filed (and got approved) to offer the product.
Hence she knows the pro
Blockchain: Could Hive Be A Record Of Trust For AI?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pcgqaebs Blockchain potential is a great deal more than just cryptocurrency.
In this video I discuss how using blockchain to combat some of the potential risks associated with AI such as deepfakes could be a major use case that makes applications very popular.
Argentina Officials Meeting With Those From El Salvador To Discuss Digital Assets
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ltytxvun El Salvador made news when it made Bitocin legal tender in its country. Since that time, it added a product in Vocano bonds tied to Bitcoin mining.
In this video, I discuss what Argentina could be up to and how some of this could unfold.
Here is the article based mentioned in the video:
https://news.bitcoin.com/argentine-officials-met-with-salvadoran-regulators-to-discuss-bitcoin-adoption-and-regulation/
Did The SEC Open Pandora's Box With The Ethereum ETF Approval?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bpmxeyvz The approval of EThereum ETFs might be something akin to opening Pandora's Box.
In this video I discuss what could be derived from this decision. Is Ethereum a security or not? That is something that Gary Gensler has not seemed to fully answer. Does approving the ETF weight in on this at all?
Massive Economic Gains: Going Deeper Into The 3rd Econoimic Singularity
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wgvthldp We had periods, over time, where economic growth was massive. Unfortunately, it was over the period of hundreds of years, meaning it is hard to see, especially for the people living through it.
In this video I discuss how these periods contract over time, with doublings in GDP happening at a faster rate. We are now in our third economic singularity, with the first two being the agricultural age following by industrialization. Like now, there i
Why The Approval Of The Ethereum ETF Backs The SEC In A Corner
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mvcltlss The SEC approved the applications for the Ethereum Spot ETF.
In this video I discuss how this changes some things. It sets a precedent that the SEC will have a tough time combating which means the door could be open for other coins.
Technological Acceleration: Time To Step It Up
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/btyuwagt For years, I discussed the idea of the age of abundance.
In this video I discuss the concept of technological acceleration and how it will affect humanity. We have many who fear the changes it could bring. However, the reality is technology have never been fully utopian or dystopian. Instead, we are seeing tools being given to every person on the planet who is connected to the Internet.
ETH ETF and the Tug-o-War Between The SEC and CFTC
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/aconsfpn The SEC and the CFTC often fight over regulatory jurisdiction. When looking at the situation with Ethereum, it is no different.
Here is a tweet that points to a shot fired by the CFTC.
https://x.com/jchervinsky/status/1772666739995595007?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1772666739995595007%7Ctwgr%5E617aefe99157b0423a9944733130a8629dcb1042%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bankless.com%2Feth-etf-issuers-staking

The Choice Paradox And Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dswepgvn We know people like choices. However, there are situations where the choices can get to the point where it is overwhelming.
In this video I discuss the causes of this, where it stems from, and how people usually respond. Also, I relate it to crypto, starting with the ICO craze.
Ethereum Spot ETF Being Approved?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hxdwsxva Here is the article cited in the video:
https://decrypt.co/231481/ethereum-spikes-etf-approval-rumors
Will we see Ethereum Spot ETFs approved? This is the thought since the SEC asked for amended filings. What does this potentially mean for the market?
Money 101: What Is Backing Bank Deposits (Follow The Accounting)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pkeiyott When it comes to money creation, many feel that since it is "created out of thin air" there is nothing backing a deposit. After all, with fractual reserve banking, there is no need to keep the currency in the bank.
Here is some insight: this idea makes no sense since there was no currency to begin with.
In this video I discuss what is backing the deposits. Double entry accounting guarantees there is something there. What is it?
Money 101: How The Fed Has Changed (Part 2)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/aqqmkxol Here is the first video:
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tespghxs&utm
In this video I discuss how the change in money has altered the Fed's role as "insurance company". It also has made the monetary policy of the Fed mostly useless other than propaganda.
Money 101: How The Fed Has Changed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tespghxs The Fed has strayed greatly from its original purpose. This is something that causes a lot of confusion.
In this video I discuss a couple points, interest rates along with the buying of debt as two examples of what has changed, altering the effectiveness of the central bank. Originally the Fed was designed to be more of an insurance company for member banks.
$6 Trillion On The Sidelines: Bitcoin Will Benefit?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yclbmdce Here is the article mentioned in the article:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/05/16/still-early-sudden-6-trillion-fed-inflation-flip-predicted-to-unleash-a--bitcoin-ethereum-xrp-and-crypto-price-boom/?sh=5bd087ca3b2e
There is an estimated $6 trillion on the sidelines waiting to enter the markets. This could really help Bitcoin when it enters due to the Bitcoin ETF.
In this video I discuss how the ETF introduce a new class of ana
Gamestop, Meme Coins, and Cryptocurrency In General
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vywhelei In this video I discuss how a benefit to crypto is that it is inclusive. A drawback is that it is inclusive.
There are many who enter the markets without having either the technical or, more importantly, the emotional skills to handle it. One of the challenges with the retail players taking on Wall Street with stocks like Gamestop is they are swimming with sharks.
And when it comes to shorts, they are Jaws.
Pension Funds Starting To Acquire Bitcoin

Muchael Saylor claims that pension funds will need to get some Bitcoin. While the need might be a bit over the top, on this one I agree with Saylor.
In this video I discuss how Bitcoin will likely be part of the holdings of pension funds along with hedge and sovereign wealth fnds. We also could see companies putting it on thei

https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/05/12/beyond-20-trillion-by-2030-jack-dorseys-plan-to-turbo-charge-the-bitcoin-price/
Jack Dorsey made some headlines with his $1 million Bitcoin prediction. He thinks this will happen by 2030.
In this video I discuss what he is doing with Block and how this could feed into the concept that drives the path to $1 million Bitcoin.
100M-4B Jobs Destroyed In 5 Years?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qsofxpmo This is a headline that I came across. I do not give it a lot of credibility since the range is so wide. However, there is a concept worthy of considering.
In this video I discuss what might bring this about, including some AI advancements to watch. I also cover some of the jobs that might also see soe disruption.
Content Creation: Web 3.0 Will Change This Completely
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zyyngntf The term "content creator" is not going to be applicable for much longer. With the tools that are coming out, we have to look so much higher.
In this video I discuss now individuals will not be content creators in the future. Instead they will be their own media companies
The Evolution of Society And The Digital World
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hwfrunwc The term exponential gets thrown around a lot. Unfortunately, it is not a concept that is natural for us humans.
In this video I discuss how we are looking at a move forward that dwarfs our human evolution. If we look at the last few hundred years, there are many huge changes.
Money 101: Quantitative Easing and Tightening
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xgpaozrz We hear these discussed quite often. However, did you know they are actually the opposite of what the central banks propose?
In this video I cover these concepts and how backwards they are. Like many things with money, we are mislead (intentionally for the most part in my view) so we do not truly understand what is going on. This is especially true when it comes to the central banks.
Web 3.0 Is Needed To Counter The Pillaging By Private Equity
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iqrsjbhc Private equity is a concept that is good in theory. Like most things with Wall Street is involved in, it is out of control.
In this video I discuss how Web 3.0 is the tool that can combat this. When we delve into what these firms do along with the control they wield, it is crucial for us to counter this.
Are You Ready For A 100x In LLMs?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dtvpxuto It is going to happen. While we cannot say when or even who is going to pull this off, we do know there will come a time, most likely in the next couple years, we will see a 100x.
In this video I discuss how prompting is going to get very inexpensive. At the same time, we are going to see the number of tokens on each prompt explode. All of this is going to cause massive disruption especially as compared to where we are today.
The Recentralization of Bitcoin: Wall Street Taking Over?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/atytnwln The recentralization of Bitcoin is taking place. This has nothing to do with the coin itself although I still maintain it is being hijacked by Wall Street. The problem is we are seeing the same thing at the mining level.
In this video I discuss a Forbes article that talks about this very topic. Most of the blocks are produced by only a few mining pools. This is becoming a major problem.
Here is the link to the article talked about in the vide
Convergence Is Going To Change The World
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ijhhyqcc Technology is enhanced by convergence. We are in an era where we see some very powerful technology advancing. This will be compounded when they start to converge.
In this video I discuss how this will change the world. Society is not prepared for what is going to happen.
It is also the essence of Web 3.0 in my view.
Web 3.0: The Fragmentation Of Everything Especially Media
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kbnmojve The plan was to post this video yesterday which put it ahead of the article that was written this morning.
Due to technical issues, it is a bit out of order.
In this video I discuss how Web 3.0 generates fragmentation. One industry that is seeing this, even without Web 3.0, is media. We look into what is taking place and how things could proceed.
Important Bill in US Congress Regarding Taxing of Crypto

Here is the article mentioned in hte video:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-mining-block-rewards-taxes-legislation
In this video I discuss how there is a bill that was presented in Congress that would alter the US tax code and treat crypto that comes as a result of block production (for either PoW or PoS) as created property. This means the tax implications would not be appl

This is something that seems to matter in the crypto world.
In this video I discuss the situation along with why it should be of no interest to anyone. To start, it is really theater. Secondly, we need to move beyond being concerned about the governments and stop looking for thei

Raoul Pal is a noted crypto advocate.
In this video I discuss a video where he make the prediction of a $100T market cap in 10 years in crypto. I lay out m
Hyper-Exponential Growth For Blockchain Economies
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/okbqpmst This is something that has been discussed regarding the US economy. The basis is the idea of massive technological advancement, including convergence that start to move the GDP growth rate to the 8% or 10% level.
In this video I discuss the analaogy of that to blockchain economies. If this comes into being, what does it mean for blockchain economies? Considering Web 3.0 is miniscule right now, we can see how this could go exponential.
95% Of Blockchains Junk: Selling Snake Oil

In this video I discuss how one of the founders of Internet Computer calls most blockchains junk. It is taking a look at things from a technical angle.
I opt for a differenet viewpoint, not trying to debate the technical side of things. Ins
X Payments And Web 3.0: Things Are Evolving
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/volcrzdw Here is the article that is discussed in the video:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-biz-x-payment-system-block-bitcoin-mining
Contained in the article is a tweet that explains what the financial services that will be offered. This is focused on payments. Here is where the default of Web 3.0 enters. By default, there are payments.
In this video I discuss the opportunity for Web 3.0 since it could create more advanced financial products.
Post Labor Economics: What Might Happen
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bgdmzgov This is a topic that is getting a bit more attention as we see AI and robotic advancement.
In this video I discuss what this concept is and how things might evolve. We go into what jobs could be at risk first and what might end up protected. Also, I delve into the mindset barrier that is likely to persist for a while.
Stablecoin Wallets Closing In On 100M: Crypto Adoption Is Happening
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vbaylbax The linked article discussed how crypto is seeing the number of wallets with stablecoins nearing 100M (around 94M now). This is big news.
In this video I discuss how important this is for economic growth. By having the number of stablecoins expanding means we are seeing the potential to grow the cryptocurrency economy.
https://www.coinspeaker.com/stablecoin-adoption-surge-holders-100m/
"Bitcoin Has Lost Its Soul"
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/afujmxei This is a message put forth by money manager Jim Bianco.
In this video I delve into the quote and the sentiment behind it. I have phrased it in different ways but the fact it is being swallowed up by Wall Street means little differentiation between products.
Ethereum Will Do Well Even Without An Ethereum ETF
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hglpjdam There was a headline that stated that Ethereum would do well without an ETF.
In this video I discuss this concept from a couple of perspectives. The first is what the market might do and why it will likely do well from that angle. Then I also look at the network, diving into what that might entail.
Hive Developers Are Kicking Ass
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bnsfvhkq This video will have a follow up article going into even more detail later in the week.
Remeber SMTs? How about Hive Bonds? What about other enhancements?
In this video I discuss something that was placed in front of me that provides some insight into what some of the developer ideas are. It is easy to think nothing is happening with Hive when that simply is not the case.
We go through some of it.
Llama3: Network Theory At Work And What Web3 Can Learn
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uxvwjllh Whether one likes Zuckerberg or not, there is no disputing the guy is highly intelligent. He understands network science and how to build a masterful digital platform model.
In this video I discuss how Llama is the epitome of this and what Web3 can learn from it. He is taking another major step forward with his company.
SpkNetwork: Infrastructure for AI?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/atabyqhu Many are starting to discuss the idea of decentralized AI. We know that massive compute is required for large AI models.
In this video I discuss how we have to start the discussion, and process, towards starting to bore down into the AI sturcture and move pieces away. Could SpkNetwork be a factor here?
Hive Infrastructure: This Is Key To The Future
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fnczjvdl Hive infrastructure is expanding. We keep talking about this, without much observable success.
The challenge is that, infrastructure, is painfully slow. Here is where things do not prove fruitful until there are applications built on top.
In this video I discuss how Hive infrasctructure is positioned in a strong position due to the structure that it adopted. This goes for not only base layer but sidechains. When it comes to data writing, the
The End of the Banks: This is Bigger Than Just Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/orvisuyc The banks, along with many others, are focusing upon cryptocurrency. The challenge in the battle between legacy financial institutions and crypto is that it is the wrong fight.
In this video I dive into what I believe Web 3.0 entails although much of the banks problem stems from Web 2.0.
Where Will Technology Be In 2030 And The Path To Get There
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zblsajus Predicting the future is a dangerous game. No matter how good one is, it is a matter of be less wrong.
That said, we can see where things are going by following the trend of compute and some other basic infrastructure pieces.
In this video I discuss compute, data centers, chips, and telecommunication systems.
Web 3.0 Naysayers: History Repeating Itself
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/epubwmfk One of the things about aging is we start to see how we get Deja Vu again.
In this video I discuss how a lot of what is tossed as "nevers" with Web 3.0, it is oddly familiar to what I heard in the late 1990s regarding the Internet.
Advanced Technology: What Do We Do?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/egbhfvaj We are seeing some very powerful advanced technologies being created. Many are espousing about the potential threat.
In this video I take on the question of whether we should dive right in, or should we try to slow things down?
LLMs And Chatbots: The Need For Proprietary Data
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kkksyhut We know that LLMs require a ton of data. Entities such as OpenAI scrubbed the Internet grabbing whatever they could. This has led to a lot of data being fed into these NNs.
In this video I discuss how this is one piece of the equation. Since all the data is similar, what is going to distringuish one from the other? Here we get the paradox that proprietary data is going to be needed also.
Money 101: Do People Really Hate Inflation?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cgskdzvl This video is related to a tweet that I saw regarding inflation and how people hate it.
Is this really the case?
In this video I go through a number of scenarios where people claim to want deflation, then when it happens, they get upset. Hence, we are dealing with a multi-faceted situation, like most things with the economy and finance.
Crypto Defenses And The Resiliency Of The Industry
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wynxiqfm It is always good to watch for threats.
In this video I discuss how the threats, i.e. government, is being pushed further aside with each passing day. This is due to financial innovation that is taking place within crypto along with the tendency for things to go in 1,000 directions at the same time.
All of this adds resiliency. It is also what is goign to feed into the horrific failure that is CBDCs.
Hive: Technology Often Requires A Long Term Focus
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yfsscdml Things are starting to fall in place for Hive. We have a few things starting to roll out which will have a long term impact.
In this video I discuss how technology is not a quick hit. Often, even when things happen "overnight", there is a long path before getting to that point. This is the case for Hive.
Hive Is For People Who Really Want It, Not Those Who Need It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pgnnchpg This is actually true of all Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss how Hive is an opportunity. Unfortunately, it appears to be that most are not conditioned to take advantage of opportunities. This is a problem since we are all presented with chances yet often sabotage it due to our outlook.
Money 101: Too Much Money Chasing Too Few Goods And Services
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/afihravu Inflation is commonly thought as "too much money chasing too few goods and services".
In this video, we discuss this concept in the digital age. When we look at software, this changes everything.
Hong Kong Now Jumping Into The Crypto Game
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fwaxxyjr This is somewhat of a follow up to my last video. The idea behind hit is we are seeing major entities starting to enter the crypto world. This is not in alignment with the original values but it does provide a significant wall between those who want to crush crypto and the industry.
In this video I discuss how Cathie Wood was at a conference in Hong Kong discussing the advancements that Hong Kong is making in crypto.
Here is the article mention
Goldman Sachs Entering The Cyrpto Game And What It Means
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hjrvfqqw Goldman is looking to access crypto, at least through Blackrock's ETF. Of course, when it comes to the banks, we have to be careful. They are always doing stuff behind the scenese, off balance sheet.
In this video I discuss how, while this is not great for the values crypto espoused, it is a nice layer of protection against the political establishment. Goldman is also known as "Government" Sachs. Even Gary Gensler is a Goldman alum. If money
Smart Contracts On Hive And What They Can Do
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ulpoapxb The announcement by VSC is a very important one for Hive. We now have a sidechain connected to Hive that gives developers the ability to create smart contracts for services they require.
In this video, I discuss what this brings and how it could affect things going forward. I compare Hive, with this ability, to some other chains that are out there.
Blockchain and AI: It Is Revolutionary
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lfjipgbj AI is penetrating everything. It is also opening new business models. For example, Google is considering the idea of making search a subscription model.
In this video I discuss how the basis of AI shows where blockchain fits into all this. On Hive, we need to seriously consider the implications and how this all ties together. If Big Tech is going for it, then it is a given for Web 3.0 to pursue it.
Hive As An Archival Database
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ctktlljg Did you ever consider think about Hive as a system for archiving the Internet. We see different initiatives that are doing this, all in a centralized manner.
In this video I discuss how Hive could become a database for the Internet, at least part of it, and have information that immutable on it. This would eliminate the ability to change things after the fact.
Where Hive Will Be In 2-3 Years
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/aolmhvin Where will Hive be in 2-3 years?
None of us have a crystal ball. What we do have are trends.
In this video I discuss some of the components that could be a major part of Hive in a few years. This is likely to be a similar pattern with Web 3.0 and, actually, the Internet in general.
Money 101: Money and the Problem with the Bitcoin Narrative
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yvuzzarg We have different forms of money springing up. Because of this, the old rules do not seem to apply. When we look at how things are structured, there are different aspects to the monetary system. In fact, we could say we are dealing with different monetary systems working at the same time.
In this video I discuss how this negates are great deal of the Bitcoin narrative, at least as framed by the maxis. Even the US dollar is no longer as straig
Staking Your Claim To Digital Real Estate
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/oqkloptw We all have heard about the idea of digital real estate. Web 3.0 really promotes this idea.
In this video, I take it from another point of view, moving past simply holding tokens in a network as the idea of digital real estate. Actually, I use the basis of the Internet design as the basis for this. Here is where we could approach things in a slightly different manner.
Builders Versus Price Watchers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cuguibls This is something that is important to Hive, blockchain, and Web 3.0.
The difference between builders and price watchers is in their terminology.
In this video I discuss how people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, some of the greatest technology builders, never talked about price. They were always speaking in terms of building.
The Network Effect of Social Media Is Changing
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gnqsngwu The network effect for social media typical was more users. This is really where everything resided.
It appears, we are seeing in shift and this is going to really affect smaller digital platforms such as those being built on HIve.
In this video I discuss how things are changing due to AI and the flywheel can, in many instances, be centered around this.
Data Is The New Oil And Hive Is Starting To Use It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zsjierej There are a couple of initiatives that are going to move to the next level.
We already heard of LeoAI and how over 1 million threads were fed into the learning engine.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing another initiative that is going to follow a similar path. This will be explained in an article. However, this provides into sight where things could potentially be going.
AI And The Impact On Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hgorgyyc We cannot go very far online without encountering something about AI. There is a valid reason for this as things are moving quickly.
While it is certain that it is going to affect most everything, it is a good idea to question how it will impact cryptocurrency.
In this video I go through ideas I have about this including how we are going to see a massive expansion of the digital realm. Since cryptocurrency is the money that will dominate the di
Hive Starting To Bridge Outward
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cjjhqonz We are looking at Hive move from its isolation.
For years, people asked for more listings in exchanges. This is not going to happen with the centralized ones. However, we are seeing initiatives that are going to span outwards.
In this video I discuss VSC and Leo, two projects that are going to have direct swapping into the major coins and tokens.
Money 101: Inside Versus Outside Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cnntizak In this video I go through a couple classifications that I have no covered, at least directly. They are, however, crucial to understanding the monetary system.
When I discussed this in the past, I used the terms "commercial bank money" and "central bank money" to separate. With this, we see how accounting enters the picture and negates the idea of money as debt. While there is a liability created, double-entry shows that we also see an asset c
There Is Not Enough HIVE Out There
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/palochud HIVE is going to be in short supply.
This is something that is hard to see now, especially as the market is unreactive. However, there are a number of factors where this can be the case.
In this video I go through the 4 factors which can cuase great demand for HIVE. These are based upon the design along with some future building that can radically alter things.
The University Ponzi Scheme And Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yxjhfupf In the United States, the upper level education system (University) is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme. It is a way to such money in to the system and burden the younger generations with debt they cannot bankrupt out of.
I discuss, in this video, the system and how Web 3.0 is going to be an option for people. This will not only come from education opportunities online but also the potential to gain an "income". This is the true test for Web 3
Inflation-Deflation Discussion: Why Deflation Is Much Worse
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/izoklmnk In the US and Europe, for the most part, we havent seen mass deflation since the Great Depression. With so few people alive when it last hit, it is easy to ignore the impact.
For this reason, we have to look at some of the general tendencies of both. Why is deflation so horrible?
In this video I discuss the self reinforcing, instead of self correcting, nature of deflation. This means that, once it starts, it is impossible to stop. The result
The Abundance Mindset: How Web 3.0 Requires A Change In Thinking
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eiouzhpr We all operating under conditioning that we received, which for all of us means scarcity. This equates to decades of programming in the scarcity mindset.
In this video I discuss how the age of abundance is an era that we are entering yet most cannot comprehend it. I go through a couple ideas that I encountered to explain how this is. When we analyze it, this is radical when it comes to the economy and personal wealth.
The Age of Abundance Is A Shift in Mindset
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/oqleljya We are embarking upon a period where abundance is going to be the norm. This is especially true of anything related with the Internet.
In this video I discuss how many are still looking at things with a mindset of scarcity. This causes a host of issues.
Why Hive Will Be A Screaming Success
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/epeglllw I am a believer in looking at things from the bottom and working our way up. When we start at the base level, we can see how things have a larger impact over time.
In this video I discuss the basic premise of storage. This is something that world is going to require a far greater amount going forward. This is then coupled with the idea of decentralized data, something that is growing in importance as we see with the LLMs and other training dat
The Potentiality of a Post-Monetary Society and How It Might Look
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ezvhumio Technology is advancing in a manner that could be changing everything. With advancements in AI and robotics, we are moving closer to a time when this potential could be coming to fruition.
In this video I discuss how things are likley a long way off but it is something to think about. We already saw how things go to zero or near zero. This happened in a number of smaller industries which doesnt have a tremendous overall impact. What happens w
Web 3.0: The Ability To Control Our Own Destiny
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vkzlfiwv Web 3.0 offers huge opportunities. One of the biggest is the ability to control our own desinty. This applies to both the individual and platforms.
In this video I discuss how this is similiar to Web 2.0 except that has extractors who pull money out of the platform. That isnt the case with Web 3.0. Once this is discovered, things will change.
Why The Masses Aren't Ready For Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yviisbtk This is a difficult situation to assess and conclude but no matter how many times I mull it over, I keep arriving at the same end.
In this video I discuss how the masses are not cut out for Web3. Many are looking for them to join yet, quite frankly, there are 3 things that preclude them from taking advantage of what is being created.
The Huge Opportunity With Digital Platforms
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lmugvrsu Digital platforms generate enormous value. This means that we are looking at the ability to spread value across the entire spectrum.
In this video I discuss how looking at what is being built on Hive in such a manner frames things in the context of where value creation is going. In fact, I do not believe there is any other way to look at Web 3.
The State of Technology And The Pace It Is Moving
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/arxusfwf When it comes to technology, pace is crucial. If we are going to watch what is taking place, we have to understand how this is vital to our conclusions.
In this video I discuss topics such as convergence, monopolies being disrupted, and how today's beasts are tomorrow's fawns.
Hive And The Bridge To The Outside
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eveqxjwc We are starting to see things coming together regarding the ability to bridge in and out of HIVE (and other tokens related to the ecosystem).
In this video I discuss how we have two that are forming, one just announced this week, which will have an impact upon the future of Hive.
Web 3.0 And Its Shortcomings
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rvmfxpvj We are still in the early stages of Web 3.0. There is no doubt about this. We still need a lot of infrastructure.
That said, there are some glaring weaknesses regarding Web3 that can be addressed rather quickly.
In this video I discuss how we are lacking in just that: video. When we look at value of platforms, this is key.
Bitcoin and Web 3.0: Where Does It Fit In?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ftfkolpb Bitcoin is the big name. There is no way to deny that.
In this video I discuss how Web 3.0 is altering things and what place Bitcion has in it. When we look at data, networks, and architecture, it puts things in perspective.
The Importance of Polls For Hive and Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/davaicer Polls are very important.
There are two areas where this has an impact. They are:
voting meaning we have to experiment with the capabilities of this
it is a way to generate activity and engagement which is crucial to Hive
In this video I discuss these concepts and how it is crucial that Hive start to focus upon this aspect of the ecosystem.
The Importance of Hive For Data And Open Source AI
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hmucilxa Many refer to censorship resistant as being a selling point for Hive. This is an idea that fell on deaf ears in many ways.
In this video I discuss the importance of Hive and the open source community. Specifically, we look at the concept of open data.
Hive As A Complex Organism And How These Evolve
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tiketruh I feel it is important to understand how Hive can be considered a complex organism that will follow certain tenets going forward.
In this video I discuss how we we have a few different concepts as tehy apply to networks forming. These are going to stack, legitimizing the tendency to seem like we are going in many different directions.
Getting Reputation On Hive Before AI Takes Over
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/akjoyfbt With the pace of technology, there is little doubt that we are going to see some amazing things regarding content creation over the next year or two. How does this affect something like Hive?
In this video I discuss what is important an an age where the ability to decipher human from machine content becomes almost impossible. Here is where Hive reputation (not the number next to the username) enters.
The Exponential Of Web3 And Why It Is An Accelerant Over Web2
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/syjwoedw When we have frictionless data, the driver switches from hardware to software. Here is where we see a fundamental difference between the two "webs".
In this video I further discuss the concept of exponentiality of Web3, especially compared to the present client-server infrastructure we are so famliar with.
The Rapid Accelerant That Is Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tjludmyk We can see the massive acceleration of growth by simply looking at a blockchain like HIve. The fact we are dealing with friction being removed from the system tells us that we have an exponential impact with each artice, video, and comment.
In this video I discuss how this operates and how it could scale massively.
The Pace oOf Technology Means That People Have To Adjust Their Sights
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lfwzcipp Technology is racing ahead at a pace never seen before.
In this video I discuss how there are two choices, either disrupti or be disrupted. This applies equally for individuals as it does for companies and industries.
We have to expand our thinking along with embracing the potential that comes with the pace things are moving at.
What Will The Market Cap Of Crypto Reach?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/efyjlbqs With people getting excited about the bull run, it is easy to get lost in the bigger picture.
In this video I reaffirm how I believe the crypto market will enter the quadrillions. This is more than just Bitcoin or Ethereum. What we have is the tokenization of most things will allow value to be quantified and captured where it usually is not.
This will create much larger numbers over time.
What Will It Take For Hive To Take Off
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mqxnwibj This can be read in a few different ways. Since most are focused upon price, I figured a video about that would appeal to many.
In this video I discussed why Hive is slow and likely lag. There are a couple of major issues that prevent speculators from even partaking even if they want to.
The Difference Between Speculators And Builders
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/duitcnpu This is something that is important to Hive.
Most talk about price, markets, and where things are going. These are speculators and, sadly, the majority of Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss how builders are a different breed, have a completely different outlook, and rarely talk about price.
Recent Events Are Showing Why Blockchain Is Needed To Protect Against Corruption
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/oporopas We are seeing a lot of corruption among politicians, bureaucrats and other government personnel.
In this video I discuss how we need to turn back to a way to protect ourselves. Sovereignty is more than just having our own money, which is certainly important.
Blockchain Coverage Might Be Showing The Next Phase Of Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kylhucsa Years ago I developed a basic model which I use to judge the pace of technological advancement. It is something that helps me to decipher true progress from hype cycles.
In this video I discuss that and how this was triggered by an article I saw on Fortune that discussed blockchain yet not cryptocurrency. If this is something that is followed up by other outlets, we could be witnessing a new phase in Web 3.0.
Money 101: The Money Supply And How Is Created Within The Monetary System
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ummpuqkm In this video, we discuss the money supply. This is something we have covered although we tie it into the context of the monetary system.
Over the ages, money has changed. The basis of a monetary system, however, has not. This is what gets missed with all the focus upon money.
Here we spell out how it works and why one of the most crucial components, accounting, is essential to the understanding. From here, we explore how it fits into the fra
How To Increase Value Of A Digital Platform Without Adding Users
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/paoegbkx This is a video that is focusing upon Hive and, more specificially, Leo.
In it, I expand upon the ideas in the previous video which covered 3 ways to kick of network effects on a digital platform (or network) without adding more users. Here we will hone some of these ideas to something a bit more specific.
3 Ways To Set Off Network Effects Without More Users
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xjemvcap When it comes to network effects, everyone focus upon users. This is one area, called social media. However, there are many other ways that digital platforms can kick off network effects without adding a single user.
In this video I discuss 3 ways that network effects are enhanced on digital platforms, ones that are often overlooked.
Web 3.0 Can Learn From The Market Caps of Platforms Versus Media
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hadzueoe When it comes to the top digital platforms, by market cap, Mets is the lowest valued. However, this is more than the combined market cap of all media companies.
In this video I discuss how this is something we need to pay attention to. Video is very valuable, especially when combined with a digital platform.
The Need For Web 3.0 Services
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iuyjlqju There is a lot of hype around Web 3.0. This is well founded except something major is missing.
In this video I discuss how we are still talking about vaporware. Until we have services, the concept of Web 3.0 will still be theoretical. One cannot expect users to join if there are no services to utilize.
The Importance of Time For Hive To Thrive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/esttjsgp Activity is the key to a database, utility, and interaction.
There is a cost to each users activity whether we are looking at Web 2.0 or Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss how the traditional model we see a transaction fee. This is how most blockchains operate. On Hive, it is not so evident since it is accounted for using another token. This leads us to the point of time and database building as essential for Hive to thrive. It is something that
Hive Success: Time And Action
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wmwqxtui This is a simple premise that becomes clearer to me each day.
It is hard to see with Hive since the tools are not always available. This is life as a trailblazer. However, once the tools do start emerging, we then can see how this is applicable.
In this video I discuss how success is nothing more than time and action. Given enough of both, the outcome is assured. In the projects I am working on, as more tools show up, this become evident.
The
Money 101: What Gives A Currency Value
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tlhxgfix This is a question that seems to get overlooked. It is not something we hear discussed since most people seem to believe they know.
It is why we get the idea of asset backed currencies, which is the case with USDC and USDT. This is not currency, it is a money market account.
In this video I discuss what gives a currency value and how those designing systems should take a look at it. A lot of what is discussed is misguided and removes the focu
The Breakthroughs In Generative AI Are Showing The Potential Of The Network-State
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rryiaeua We are seeing some breakthroughs with generative AI that are waking people up. Few look at the pace of technology and consider the speed things are moving. Sometimes, even those with the technical know how are surprised of the ramifications.
In this video I discuss how we are going to see a massive shift as people start to realize what is going on. Through this, I believe people are going to become more accepting of the potential (and concept)
The Pace of Technology And What It Means For Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zejgncvq Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://decrypt.co/217735/google-gemini-pro-1-million-tokens-700-times-more-powerful
We are seeing it reported that Google is working on an AI model 700X than ChatGPT. Even if they come out with something 7X, that is incredible.
The point is that technology is racing ahead at a pace we have never seen.
In this video I discuss how this is going to impact the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency. We h
Citibank Testing Tokenizing Stock - Why This Is So Important
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lcbgpgcy Citibank is doing a proof of concept test on Avalanche. It is trying to tokenize the stock of a fictional private equity firm.
In this video I discuss why this is a big deal and what it means in the bigger picture. There are a few important things to note.
Link to article mentioned in video:
https://cryptopotato.com/citibank-is-now-experimenting-with-issuing-stocks-on-the-blockchain/
What Will The Price of Bitcoin Be?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uuxqzmxt I am not going to answer this.
In this video I discuss what makes up Bitcoin's price and how it is driven. There is a reason why I do not take exception with any of the forecasts people put out there. We know the fundamenals, i.e. value, do not matter to markets. With Bitcoin, there isnt much to follow anyway. That does not mean that it will not achieve some high price levels.
Money 101: What Interest Rates Truly Impact
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/daquedrn There is always a lot of talk about interest rates yet there is something that is very basic overlooked.
In this video I discuss how the money people actually use interest as compared to the economist and central bank models which are not reality. Also we look at the two biggest monetary moves in the last 125 years and how this applies to interest rates.
Money 101: Debt and Debt-To-GDP Ratio
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wnfwfepr We often see the US debt amount mentioned. But what does it mean? Few ever take the time to consider the perspective.
In this video I discuss debt and how the metric, debt-to-gdp, is a poor barometer of what is taking place.
Gold Vs Bitcoin: Could BTC Take Over As The Reserve Asset
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kcnaueef There is great debate about gold versus bitcoin. This was taken to another level with the introduction of Bitcoin Spot ETFs. In the past month, more than $10 billion has flowed in.
In this video I discuss the idea of bitcoin as a reserve, the benefits of it, and how it could displace gold in this role.
Money 101: Money Printing and Inflation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jyruwjmi Ask people what the inflation rate is and most who are involved in crypto will be able to tell you. They might not know the exact rate but they will guess around 1.5% or 1.75%. It shows how they understand the concept.
Yet, these same people turn around and then talk about prices and money printing.
In this video I delve into these topics and how people get tham all confused. Misunderstianding of this nature also leads people to muddle up othe
The Problem With Web3: People Not Understanding Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zmsbxdim It seems like we are entering a new world. Well, we are. For that reason, it is crucial that people understand what is taking place.
In this video I discuss some of the issues it appears we have with transitioning to Web3. At the core is that, my conclusion, is most do not understand it. They might talk about it yet do not fully grasp what it is.
Hive Is About To Thrive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xqwofbhx The most recent CTT podcast convered some interesting points that I go through in this video.
There is a lot to unpack including SpkNetwork and its "AWS design" as well as VSC and liquidity for Hive to the CEX.
The Incredible Potential of Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qsudjyij Hive has enormous potential when we consider what a decentralized database coupled with other things built on top.
In this video I discuss some of what I am involved in and what I am seeing.
Age of Abundance: Humanoid Robots are Changing Everything
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wxiqjrss We are going to see a massive shift. This video will end up being followed by an article.
For now, I discuss the idea of what humanoid bots are going to do from an economic perspective, why they cannot be stopped in regards to implementation, and how disruptive they will be.
Money 101: The US Dollar
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/aumdgcmg We hear a lot about how the US dollar is going to collapse and how the end is near. Of course, in some circles, this is the mantra for the past 30 years.
In this video I discuss what makes the US dollar so strong and how it is going to keep going as the currency of choice for businesses all over the world.
A Rarity Happened: Wall Street Got A New Asset Class In Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uwyhuvtd It is just starting Wall Street is going to take bitcoin and create an assortment of products.
In this video I discuss how Wall Street looks at bitcoin as a new asset class. This does not come along very often. It truly is a rarity. That means we are just getting started with the layering of derivatives and other products these banks will produce. Very little will do directly with BTC which is not relevant to the financial institutions.
Money 101: Banking Crisis Is Not The Systemic Risk
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rssxddlv Many want to point to a banking crisis like it is 1920. Here is another example where the change in money affects things. We are not dealing with a cash based system.
In this video I discuss how a banking crisis is not the major risk. In fact, when it comes to containment, the central banks (i.e. Fed) can cover this one. There is one lurking out there, however, that the central banks cannot stop and, quite frankly, it would be devastating. F
Money 101: Why To Ignore The Fed And Some Characteristics That Money Cannot Escape
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/parnyhlz In this video I discuss a number of vital concepts.
To start, for ecnomies to expand, money is needed. If there is not enough money, things contract. We also have the business cycle to contend with, something that many feel can be changed but history shows it is unbeaten. Finally, the tools the central bases use are completely ineffective and worthless anywhere outside of theory.
The Web 3.0 Opportunity
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qkupswvo We are looking at a revolutionary idea when it comes to Web 3.0. At the core of this is a transformative ownership model.
In this video I discuss how we can all start the process of embarking upon a structure that is based around the idea of spreading the financial benefits to those who generate it.
Network Effects In A Web3 World: Thinking Outloud
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iqxfyjcy How are network effects going to be affected by Web3?
What happens when we are dealing with digital platforms that users have stake in? To compound it, where do things go when people can also have stake in the network that the platform is connected to?
In this video I ponder these questions along with the fact that we might be seeing the impact of each action even greater than with Web 2.0. We know network effects mean we are dealing with a gre
Technology And Disruption: Exponential Effects
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dipozlyk Many are familiar with network effects. There is another side to it, especially when it comes to platforms outside social media.
In this video I discuss the S curves that technology follows along with how secondary network effects are being overlooked. While most are failing because they only grasp a percentage of the total picture, those who see beyond it realize what it takes to design a successful platform.
Platforms Are Eating The World Yet Web3 Isn't Involved
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/umbbiqzk We see how powerful platforms are becoming. It is time to start the process of figuring out how to make them a part of Web3.
In this video I discuss some of what is taking place and how we have enormous potential that is being overlooked.
Rumble And Dave Portney: Opening The Door For Alternative Video Platforms
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wjdjfsau Dave Portney has moved to Rumble. He did not do so because he decided the earnings are better. Instead, he took an equity stake in the company.
In this video I discuss how Rumble is paving the way for other social video platforms. Keep in mind, this is all part of the Web 2.0 fight that I predicted. These entities are going after each other. That said, it is paving the way for change.
Money 101: A Post- Monetary Society
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bhksmspr Why would I do a post monetary society video in a Money 101 section?
In this video I discuss this concept and show why it is important to truly understand money. A lot of what people refer to comes from conditioning in a scarcity world. Will abundance fix this? Not at all. There are generations of people who are reared to think a certain way.
The Change In Structure Due To The Network-State
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nchohnjw We have to cover some major points regarding this concept that are often overlooked.
In this video I discuss a few things such as borderless entities, global reach, and how we come to be ruled by the system we are.
Money 101: The Age of Abundance
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/okwmhkxh What does abundance and money have to do with each other? This is a topic I discussed over the years, and how technology is bringing us towards an age where abundance is going to be the norm.
In this video I discuss how this concept applies to money. Since most are stuck in a bygone era regarding money, we see how their ideas are apt to fail (and they do repeatedly). For this reason, we have to realize what money truly it and how it is affecte
Ethereum Spot ETF: JPM Says 50/50 Chance By May
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/crzxqozp The SEC approved the Bitcoin Spot ETF after years of rejections. Many feel this is opening the door for other approvals.
In this video I discuss how the idea of a quick approval on an Ethereum Sport ETF might not be forthcoming. JPM is even giving it only a 50/50 chance of taking place by May.
Leo Bringing Web3 To The Forefront
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qfopjhhl We see the difference between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 when we look at Leo.
In this video I discuss how ownership is what separates the two systems. Web 2.0 often pits their owners (shareholders) against the users. Web 3.0 should be different. The users should be the ones financially benefitting.
Sustainability And Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/muonygqe This is something you would think is common among different Web3 projects. Unfortunately, it appears to me that teams would rather monkey with the tokenomics rather than build.
In this video I discuss the idea of sustainability and how essential business building practices are required. The best tokenomics will not overcome a lack of vision, product, growth, or services.
Money 101: Currency Debasement Fallacy Versus Reality
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bixlitco Currency debasement is a phrase that gets tossed around. It is also something that is misunderstand. Once again, what was historically accurate 100 years ago is no longer the case.
In this video I discuss how the concept of currency debasement in a commercial bank monetary system is unfounded. The very premise of what gives a currency value goes against this concept. Of course, this is in stark contrast to the money printing central banks did
Money 101: Central Bankers vs Politicians
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tlvprose Central bvanks supposedly handle monetary policy while polliticians control fiscal. I say suppposedly because central banks are really propaganda organizations.
In this video I discuss the impact of each on the economy and how the central banks get blamed for a great deal when the politicians are behind most of it.
Money 101: Money and Technology
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xsnskosq In this video I discuss two key aspects of money and technology.
We are dealing with communications that happen in a near instance with technology spreading its deflationary wings wider. We see the impact in both the monetary system and money.
Money 101: Interest Rates Do Not Stimulate The Economy
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cqzzpous We are taught that lowering interest rates is done to stimulate the economy. Unfortunately, this is counter to how things actually work.
In this video I discuss how interest rates affect capital flow. This is why monetary policy is more propaganda than anything else.
Hive and the Flywheel Effect
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hiradxah This is something we see in many areas. It could relate to data, business, money, and users.
In this video I discuss how Hive could have a flywheel effect when we look at the totality of the entire ecosystem. It is a point that many seem to overlook.
The Next Wall Street Hijacking: USDC
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vpdirarl After Bitcoin, Wall Street has its eyes on something else.
In this video I discuss how Circle, the firm behind USDC, is having an IPO. By going public, anyone can purchase it. This means major Wall Street firms such as Blackrock and Fidelity can take a piece of the company. This means that, over time, the shares are going to end up in the hands of the major firms and hedge funds.
Bitcoin ETF: The Hijacking Is Complete
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rkcrblxo Fixed money always pools.
Over the last year, the cryptocurrency world watched as it awaited approval from a government agency to allow Wall Street institutions to sell derivatives to clients, raising money to buy Bitcoin and custody it.
In this video I discuss how history is repeating itself and this is aligned with what traditionally happens. It does open the door for algorithmic stablecoins to truly bring Satoshi's vision forth.
Money 101: The Bankers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yloejpnx There is no single profession that elicits as much of an emotional response as bankers. At the same time, there is a lot of confusion about them.
In this video I discuss what they are actually about and how these system is more fragmented than people think. They are certainly a cartel but, like most, they will cut each other's throats to get ahead.
Database Building on Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/panngyer This is something that I think many should do. It is a very rewarding experience allowing one to follow the growth along with learning about the exponential nature of things.
In this video I share my experience with building LeoGlossary and how it ties into the values of Satoshi as well the motivation for Bitcoin (new networks).
The Explosive Age We Are Entering: How This Is Societal Changing
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mgbmnvyo Many are saying that 2024 is the year of AI. Whether that is the case or not really doesn't matter. We should not limit the discussion to a single year.
In this video I discuss the different eras that saw massive economic expansion due to technological breakthoughs that completely altered how society operated.
Money 101: The Quantity Theory of Money - Part 2 (Technology)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jyameckq In this video I go through a more recent problem with the quantity theory of money.
The idea of inflation due to "money printing" does not hold true. When we look at technology, it is going to radically alter everything. In short, we are going to need a lot more money.
Money 101: The Quantity Theory of Money And Why It Is Invalid
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qvqrkwmn Many subscribe, wrongly so, to the quantity theory of money. We are in an era that is much different from even the day of Milton Friedman.
In this video we discuss how velocity of money was the missing component from his work. He had the luxury of it not being an issue as he was in a stable periond. Today, we are in a much different environment.
Money 101: The Types of Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zzbsswdu We have to realize there are different types of money within different segments. There are three that I often point to:
central bank money
commercial bank money
eurodollar system money
These are three distinct part of the global economy and money is created in ways that most do not realize.
In this video I discuss the issue with people (mostly economists) talking about theories when they do not even understand the basics of money in this era.
Goldman Sachs = Bitcoin Spot ETF Approval
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ttqfhhmw Here is the article cited in the video.
It was about a year ago that I realized Gary Gensler doesnt want to destroy cryptocurrency. That isnt on his agenda. Instead, his goal is to put it in the hands of Wall Street.
In this video I discuss how Goldman Sachs is being pulled into the equation. This is being done by both Blackrock and Grayscale. That means Gensler, who is an ex-Goldman guy, will approve it.
Take that to the bank. From his pers
Hive; Changing Monetization And Digital Real Estate
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jjdwsjmx We are seeing a complete transformation of the digital world. This is web3 and nowhere is it better exemplified than on Hive.
In this video I discuss the layers of digital real estate, touching upon something few have even considered. When we look at the ability to tokenize, we see how this changes the ownership of anything digital.
A Mental Image For Hive: Amazon
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qkoussvs This is something that I have toyed with for a while.
In this video I discuss a mental framework for people to apply to HIve. This is a backdrop which could help people see a path of how we can help to evolve Web3 into something bigger.
Hive: Start Thinking In Exponentials
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eqgivbvn Exponential impact is something that is common in the digital realm. We tend to not think much about it since we, humans, are linear thinkers.
In this video I discuss how we do have this tendency when it comes to money and investing. Compounding is an exponential idea. However, with Hive, there are many ways we can kick this off and put it into effect.
Money 101: The Fed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pcnyvclz In this video I discuss the Fed including how it was set up, where it was pulled away from its original vision along the structure of the organization. I also delve into how it is really a propaganda organization and lacks the ability to directly affect much of anything. If the market didnt do the heavy lifting, nothing the Fed does would work.
My Message for Hive in 2024
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wbrayurl We are closing out the year. It is a time to look forward to the 12 months ahead.
In this video I deliver my message to all interested in Hive.
AI, Wealth, and the Future
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dauqitgg The accelerating pace of technology is often overlooked. This is something that shows up in the economic productivity numbers, even though the impact is under represented.
In this video I discuss how the last 20 years saw half the world's wealth generated. This will be eclipsed over the next 20 years, perhaps by an order of magnitude. We have to fact in the deflationary nature of technology and both dematerialization/miniturization that takes
Why The Marriage Of Web3 And AI Is Crucial
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jchftbdk Many have fears about AI and for good reason.
In this video I give three potential downsides to AI that I believe can be solved by Web3. These are the reasons why the two technologies need to merge.
Money 101: Money Creation and Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/objvtyfd Digital assets will change the world. It is the next phase of our monetary system. This piggybacks off what we saw over the last 70 years.
In this video I discuss how, contrary to what some believe, this will foster abundance, The ability to capture value where it was not before then turning that into an economy is very powerful. This is something that can happen millions of times over the next decade.
Money 101: Listen To Those Who Do Bankers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dmbakyyb One of the keys to understanding money is to listen to those who actually do money. There are a lot who discuss it, including the central banks, economists, and the media. Yet, they are not the one who actually do money.
In this video I disucss how watching the banks will lead to a lot of insight about what is going on with the monetary system.
Money 101: Most Are Still In The 1920s, Not The 2020s
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jxopxqul Money have changed a great deal over the last 100 years. There are fundamental differences between then and now including what the Fed does.
In this video I discuss what we are really dealing with today and how the notions are completely out of date. We work towards the step of looking at thsoe who do money, not the pretenders.
Money 101: Inflation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fgncuzge Like many topics that have to do with money, this tends to be misunderstood. There are a lot of myths out there surrounding the concept of inflation.
In this video I explain inflation and prices, with them being different.
Why Cryptocurrency Will Outperform And Its Tie To The Monetary Situation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bkqdbtib Over the last decade, the two assets that have outperformed in the markets are cryptocurrency and high P/E technology stocks.
In this video I discuss why being in either of these could be setting one up for a major run. We are seeing the monetary situation change, with the Fed and interest rates following their cycles, which will bring risk on. That mean, the cycle of the last couple years could be ending with another monetary shift taking plac
The Need To Force And Incentivize Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ankvwkyq Isn't it ironic?
Bitcoin as legal tender. How is that for a kick in the pants? Government mandating, once again, what should be used for commerce and trade.
In this video I discuss Gresham's Law, where it is inaccurate and correct, and how perhaps Bitcoin is proving this (but not in the way Maxis think). One of the areas where I think Gresham;'s law does come into play is with legal tender.
Hive And Other Networks Need To Avoid Iwantitnow-itis
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/becwipes The Western culture is now infected with the mindset of I want it now. These permeates into every facet of people's lives.
In this video I disucss Iwantitnow-itis and how it is penetrating the digital realm. This is something that is counter to building since it omits dedication, long term thinking, and consistent effort.
The Global Impact on the Dollar Shortage
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ywjbdwyu In this video we discuss how the US dollar shortage is causes major problems around the world. This is not what economists or the financial media tells us. When we delve into how the banking system works around the world, we have to ignore governments.
What is important is how the banks are dealing with each other. China, as an example, is a huge exporter. But they also import a lot of products. For these, the companies requires dollars whic
Cryptocurrency, The Age of Abundance, And AI
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gdxxcmjb Technology means we are looking at a complete reworking of the entire economic system. This means that we have to understand the interconnectivity between a lot of what we see taking place.
In this video I discuss how cryptocurrency, especially staking income, is going to be crucial to offset the impact upon labor income caused by AI and robotics.
Technological Deflation and Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hjdtgbuy Technology, by default, is deflationary. This could be a massive problem in a technological age.
In this video I discuss how we are already seeing an absense of omney in the system without the massive moves forward that we will likely see due to technology. Since we are not likely going to see this corrected through the existing system, cryptocurrency has the opportunity to resolve the issue. Here is where digital assets could well be the solu
The Repo Market And Its Impact On The Monetary System
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lzwvcrzr The Repo Market is central to the global banking system.
In this video I discuss how this ties into global trade and other aspects of the economy.
The Misunderstanding Interest Rates, The Fed, And Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rngzfwvb Many believe the central banks, such as the Fed, controls interest rates. This is not how things work since the market tends to tell us what is going to happen.
Milton Friedman talked about the Interest Rate Fallacy which goes counter to what most believe. However, evidence supports what Friedman opined.
In this video I discuss how higher demand for money means that banks can charge more for it. Also, we look at how the drop in 10Y rates have
Cryptocurrency And How People Do Not Really Understand It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zartojxi There are a lot of ways to view cryptocurrency. However, what is often overlooked is that it is akin to email.
In this video I discuss how Web3 and the next generation Internet are radically different from cryptocurrency. Nobody would say that email is the Internet. Also, most wouldnt focus upon email as being the deciding factor of whether the Internet would be used.
Web3 Needs Its Own Databases To Succeed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ihgcvwkf How can Web3 expect to succeed without any databases? Web 2.0 has spent years building theirs. This is something that Web3 is going to have to build out.
In this video I discuss how Web3 is suppose to replace Web 2. How can Web3 be the next generation internet if it doesnt have any databases? This is the foundation of the Internet with every website having one. Therefore, we are going to have to see this build upon Web3 platforms.
The Age of Abundance And Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/emrsrkrd Hive is helping us to step forward. We are seeing the infrastructure being built and tools provided that give users the ability to build value.
In this video I discuss how tokenization changes everything, something that Hive is working upon. We are seeing infrastructure that will allow for tokenized communities, which effectively makes them economies. This will allow for massive funding, changing the system completely.
The Disruptive Force of Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qkdzqbnb Web3 is bringing a new business model and why I do not believe Web 2.0 companies do not have a chance.
In this video I discuss the basis of this including networks being abundant, loyalty being scarce, and the customer base already built in to the successful networks.
Web3 and the Disruption of the Entertainment Industry
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/slfngyhc We are going to see the world of entertainment completely disrupted over the next decade. Broadcast television is on the decline, streaming is not the oasis that it was promised for media companies.
In this video I discuss how Web3 is primed to take over and disrupt entertainment. This is due to tokenization along with the advancement in technologies that make content creation even easier.
Tether Freezes Wallets: This Is Where Crypto Is Being Hijacked
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kplwzpow Cryptocurrency is being hijacked.
We know that Circle is a centralized entity that is looking coming under banking regulation. Now we have Tether freezing wallets including the one tied to Tornado Cash.
Here is the article
https://www.theblock.co/post/266872/tether-freezes-all-ofac-sanctioned-wallets-in-proactive-security-measure?utm_source=cryptopanic&utm_medium=rss
In this video I discuss how this is where the industry really needs to focus.
Building In Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jhshllpj This is something that I have discussed in a round-about way. In this video I go a bit deeper into why we need to focus upon building in Web3 and not just talking about it.
We see a lot of people trying to pull the masses over to Web 3, ignoring the fact there are not going to be many applications without databases. This is a central part of the Internet.
A Simple Solution to the US Debt Problem
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/adlsfvmp Many talk about the US debt like it is a major problem. The challenge with this is people talk about the debt yet provide no context. When people say it is too much, in relation to what?
In this video I discuss some contexts that should be applied ot the conversation regarding the debt in addition to providing a simply solution.
DOJ, CZ, and Binance Settle: Judge Accepts Deal
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cknyfvha The situation with Binance is resolved, at least this phase. A judge approved the deal between the DOJ, Binance, and CZ.
In this video I discuss what this means for crypto and where everything stands.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://en.bitcoinsistemi.com/breaking-judge-approves-the-deal-between-binance-cz-and-us-department-of-justice/
Yield, Speculation, and Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ywwqzpxw When it comes to investing, there are different assets for particular type of investing. This is something that does not seem evident within crypto where everyone wants to lump eveyrthing together.
In this video I discuss how not all assets are the same and that, crypto, simply because it has currency in the name, doesnt make it a medium of exchange. This is the first place many go wrong, Then we have the fact that many coins are value capture
Builders Vs Market Watchers: Crypto Is Overrun With The Latter
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tefbxffz Cryptocurrency is 95% people who only care (and talk about) green candles. We can see it in their use of terms such as bear market, all time high and other phrases that do not equate to business. This is a problem.
In this video I discuss how we are in an industry that needs to flip the ratio. If we do that, the impact of Web3 and its transition to commonplace will be rapid.
The Network-State And Business: A Theory On How Things Will Unfold
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wuxmijwv I have been messing around with a theory about how the Network-State will unfold and more importantly, how it will affect how business is done.
In this video I discuss this idea along with what I think might happen in regards to customers. It is going to be a reversal of what we saw the last 70 years with globalization.
Money and Purchasing Power
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sczfrtaq People like to narrow concepts about the economy and money down to simple little theories that fail to encompass the entirety of the situation. Here is where we see things go awry.
In this video I discuss money and purchasing power. We all have seen the little images online that talk about the drop in purchasing power of the USD over the last 100 years. It is foolishness. Here we discuss the realities of purchasing power along with something
The Growing Earning Opportunities on Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hhcribqi We are seeing a massive expansion of Hive in regards to the earning potential. There are a number of applications and platforms that are starting to experiment with ways to get more money flowing.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing a great deal more than just the reward pool. While some things are in their infnacy, they will expand over time. That said, we still have to experiment with other ways to monetize activity within the Hive eco
What Has Me Excited About Hive Right Now
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/akjxzlbl We have a number of things starting to come together for Hive. The next 12 monhs could see a major shift in how people use the chain and database. In fact, it is likely the entire layer 2 use case is altered.
I discuss some of the different ideas in this video.
Building On Hive: The Advantages
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jczbgtcs Maybe I am biased but I think everyone should consider building on Hive. There are so many benefits that we do not see elsewhere in the blockchain world.
In this video I discuss the advantages and how Hive differs from most other chains.
The Impact Of Cybertruck For Tesla: Lines Forming Just To See It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zouetdrs I spent much of the last year talking about the marketing impact of Cybertruck for Tesla. This was going to take place without the company spending a cent on advertising. The reason being is it was going to excite the masses since it is so different.
In this video I discuss how people are lining up at Tesla showrooms just to look at the vehicle. They cannot sit in it or drive it. This is something we only saw in a few instances.
A Top 20 Witness Going To Shut Down The Hive Node And What It Means
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/moqmaeir People are starting that the Steempress witness node is shutting down. This means that it will drop out of the Top 20, freeing the spot for someone else.
In this video I discuss how we did see some changing of the witnesses this year, at least those in the Top 20. This is a natural and healthy part of the cycle.
Building A Database To Bring Real Value To Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/joqymbhd Hive has little to offer. As a maximalist, it pains me to state that but when you look at the servies, especially tied to the data here, we see where we are lacking.
Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit all have valuable databases.
In this video I discuss how we are so different and that something like Twitter, while individually bringing little value, the collective for the system is huge. Why isnt Hive doing that? I think because people do not unde
Inward or Outward: What Should Hive's Perspective Be?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bgleofaw There is a great matter of debate.
Some believe that our time should be spent on Web 2.0 trying to get people to come to Web3. Then there is the line of thinking that we should focus upon Web 3.0.
In this video I give my views.
The Enormous Opportunities On Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kgisclbe There are a lot of opportunities if people start to innovate. This is the basis of the video that I did here.
When we look at the technology with high, a decentralized text database, there are many options as to how to leverage this. Over the last few weeks, I encountered this as ideas just kept flowing.
This is all covered in the video.
It Is Going To Take People Time To See The Value Of Bitcoin
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qyatuude There was a long wait before the world understood Bitcoin. Actually, the majority of the world doesn't get it. That said, those in the industry do see the position BTC holds in terms of decentralized settlement.
In this video I relate how decentralized text storage coupled with the development of other decentralized media storage. People will come to understand this at some point but it will take a while.
The Future of Crypto Post-CZ
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fwlnvume This is bigger than CZ or Binance. In fact, they are just indications of what is taking place. It is something that brings up two schools of thought going forward.
The first one discussed in the video is brought up by Charles Hoskinson. It is something he espoused for a while, a point of view I do not agree with.
Our second option is also discussed. This is where decentralization, open source, and distribution enter.
Web3 And New Business Models
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kaxssbjs For the moment, web3 is piggybacking off the business models of web2. This is a decent process for the time being until we get innovation and experimentation going.
In this video I discuss transaction fees, subscriptions, and advertising as models from web2 that are being adopted in web3. This is just the tip of the iceberg and we have much greater potential with all that we can do. When we consider different models relating to tokenization, N
What Will It Take For Mass Adoption Of Crypto?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/citulerr This is what is on the minds of many. Unfortunately, there is a lot to unfold when looking into this. From the price go up perspective, we are only a bull market away from people being drawn in.
In this video I discuss what it takes to build an economy and how we are a long way away from anything unfolding. The market activity is not adoption. That means operating at a different level.
The Money System, HBD, and BRICS
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hltgzyad I am combining a couple of the topics I discussed of late.
In this video I delve into how the monetary system really works and why the idea of a BRICS currency as a threat to the dollar shows a misunderstanding of how things truly work. I also delve into where the true power resides and what that means for the development of HBD.
Here is a link to the article mentioned in the video.
https://www.cryptopolitan.com/why-brics-currency-would-outshine
Hive: An Innovator's Paradise
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/casgwppt One of the problems with decentralization is that it is not very efficient. We are dealing with something that is slow moving. Centralized organizations have the advantage they can operate more efficiently. However, over time, they become less innovative.
In this video I discuss how Hive is an innovator's paradise. We have the ability to join and try anything we want. In fact, any idea is welcome and can be discussed. Simply start the conve
News: Sam Altman Out At Open Ai
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tcpvsctg We all know the chatbot wars are in full gear. This is why the latest news is so surprising.
Sam Altman was fired by the board. We are all left to speculate what is behind it. In this video we discuss how this coudl affect the industry.
Content Creation With AI and the Future of Web3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fqcnmauo Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/meta-introduces-ai-models-artificial-intelligence-video-generation-image-editing
Meta announced they are providing image and video AI tools. This is another entry into the market along with the other major technology companies.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing a massive shift. Content creation is going to radically change over the next couple years. This is goo
Money and Economic Growth Rates
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mtipcvwr When it comes to crypto-economic systems, we hear a lot of stuff stated which people believe are facts. Unfortunately, most of these points come from simplified version, most put forth by economists.
Sadly, they are mostly incorrect.
In this video I discuss a simple concept about what is taking placen and how we are dealing with complex systems. One basic principle is growth. How often do wear hear about the inflation rate of a coin or token f
What The US Dollar Truly Is And How Most Misunderstand It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pfusmgbc What is the US dollar? The answer from most will be a currency (or the reserve currency). What if I told you that is not what it is?
In this video I explain the nature of the system and how there are no dollars involved in most transactions. Hence, the US dollar is not what people think.
The Quantity Theory of Money And What It Omits
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vicwglnk Most subscribe the quantity theory of money even if they do not know what it is exactly. This is basically what economists has espoused for decades. Unfortunately, it is completely false.
In this video I go through some of the reason why this theory is invalid. It overlooks one essential premise of monetary circulation and the impacto on prices.
Clarifying Money: Understanding The Different Layers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fklimmsa When it comes to money, I realize there is a lot of misconception out there. A lot of this stems from the economics profession that spews a lot of misguided principles that were completely invalidated over the years. To make matters worse, people think they understand what is taking place which has them dig in with their viewpoints.
In this video I am going to discuss something you never hear talked about, the different layers of money. I will
The Exponential Nature of Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/naxpyhtl Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://inleo.io/@taskmaster4450/hive-taking-advantage-of-the-long-tail
Hive is a digital ecosystem. This means that we are dealing with something that has the ability to expand exponentially. Of course, depending upon where one is starting, that might not be large in the overall scheme of things against everything else. Nevertheless,everything has a starting point.
When we are dealing with technolog
The Age of Abundance: Automation Freeing Up Resources
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cqmiifbg The Age of Abundance is predicated upon the fact that technological automation ends up freeing more resources to take on even more challenges.
Tn this video I dsicuss the next 5-10 years and how we are seeing software really accelerate things. There will also be a parallel move by robotics, albeit from a place further behind. This is going to lead to an acceleration of impacts upon society.
Hive is for those who want it, not for those who need it
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jkyeihpu This is an old saying but it still holds true.
Hive is an opportunity that could ultimately change the lives of a lot of people. Unfortunately, most will miss out simply because they are not willing to do what is required to be successful. On this, Hive is no different from any other part of life, Success comes only to a few in any walk simply because few are willing to do what it takes to achieve the results.
Bullish For Bitcoin?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ijypkjkk Here is the article that is mentioned in the video:
https://blockchainreporter.net/grayscale-and-sec-discuss-spot-bitcoin-etf-conversion/
There are conversations taking place between the SEC and Grayscale regarding a Bitcoin Spot ETF and the conversion to this. It is in accordance with the court order from a lawsuit that Grayscale filed.
In this video I discuss how this is proceeding and what it could mean for Bitcoin along with cryptocurrency.
Is Interest in Crypto Waning?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gkjjswpz This is a question that was posed based upon a statement from someone at the OCC
Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://en.coin-turk.com/the-future-of-cryptocurrencies-is-interest-waning/
In this video I give my breakdown as to what I think the waning is and why it is a good thing. Also, it is common during a bear since most people only care about price go up.
The Eurodollar Is Dead Paving The Way For Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dpfdtwqj When we drill down to the foundation of the global financial and monetary system, and get past the nonsense that economists spew, we learn what the system is truly liek. SInce the middle of the last century, the monetary system was converted to one of ledger based money. This is controlled by the global banking cartel that runs the ledgers.
In this video I discuss how this system is broken and how it is not coming back. That said, it does pav
Why Central Banks Are Impotent
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nmcsgpig Spolier alert: It is because we do not live in a central bank system.

The Fed, How It Came About And Where It Went Wrong
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ceadudie The Federal Reserve was designed to replace the old clearinghouse system that was so ineffective throughout the later half of the 19th century.

Let's Talk Money: Quantitative Easing
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pdjonmpy The world of money and finance can be misleading and that is by design. Especially when it comes to the central banks.

Hive And The Age Abundance: Decentralized Media Companies
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bfyilxqv In this video, I start to lay the foundation of a concept I am working upon for Hive. This is an extension of some of the other things I am involved in.
To start, we have to consider what technology is going to offer content creators. This, coupled with Hive decentralized storage system (including what SpkNetwork is building) offers an entirely new paradigm for the world.
Hive Is A Cooperative: This Is A New Angle On Competition
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lwisezwg We are seeing a new stucture arising. This is called a cooperative.
Historically, these have no scaled very well. However, in the digital world, they can approach a much different level.
In this video I discuss how things are different and what is means for the old "competition" mindset.

Hive Users Are The True Web3 Adopters
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vxmzsvks It is amazing how early in the game we are.
In listening to a spaces about Web3. a couple things stood out which I talk about in this video.
Anyone who is using Hive is truly early to the game and gaining a real understanding of what the evolutoin of Web3 is all about.
Bitcoin Spot ETF: Why People Are Excited And What It Will Do
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yoyvatas Many people are excited about the seeming outcome of a Spot ETF for Bitcoin being approved by the SEC.
In this video I discuss what it really means and why people are excited.
Hive: Dream And Take Massive Action
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uzbtwjjl The world is your oyster on Hive. Web3 is in its infancy meaning there is enormous opportunity. If you believe this industry is going to change the world, what are you doing to make your mark upon it?
In this video I discuss how we need people who are looking to massively change things. This requires big dreams along with massive action.
AI And Hive: How We Are Seeing The Technology Flourish
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nsrxeowe There was an article that Shutterstock is now applying AI to its platform, following what Canva and some of the others are doing.
In this video I discuss how AI is going to be integrated into everything. Image generation is an example of how computer software is taking on tasks that use to be the realm of professionals. There was a time when calculators werent used in schools for tests either.
Now we are seeing the school system fight with the
Why It Is Important To Accumulate Assets on Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hdzpzojv In this video I am going to discuss a couple issues that is potentially going to impede people's livelihood.
The accumulation of assets has always been a way to create wealth. However, when it comes to technology, we have two choices: ride the wave or get run over by it.
In my view, Hive provides an opportunity to ride the wave. The reasoning and how it works is in the video.
Argentina Embracing The Dollar? So Much For De-Dollarization
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ccskaiqv Here is the article discussed in the video:
https://www.cryptopolitan.com/argentina-to-dump-peso-for-usd-brics-speak/
Argentina is suffering from enormous inflation, more than 100%. This country's economy is in free fall, in great part due to its currency.
In this vidoe I discuss how there is speculation that the country could turn to the US dollar for safety and abandon its local currency. Another piece to this puzzle, altough not being public
California Shuts Down GM Cruise And What It Means For Autonomous Driving
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kwecjrzf The State of California delivered a setback to autonomous driving. It basically shut down GM's division within the state. This means we are dealing with an autonomous setback.
In this video I discuss how this is not unexpected and the idea that self driving technology would be instantly approved is far-fetched. The technology will outpace human acceptance, including by the regulators.
The Pillars Of Focus For @town-hall
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/epbeanop The @town-hall team looks to step into 3 areas where there is a need and advance things as much as possible.
These are:
infrastructure
education
communication
Each are important and areas that can fall through the crevices.
In this video I discuss how the team is putting together a few different projects to fill these voids.
Building A Business On Hive: The Best Thing To Do Is Get Started
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rzpgcspc We have a tendency to wait for "the right time" to start things. It seems like this is human nature.
When it comes to Hive, or anything else for that matter, the time to get going is now.
In this video I discuss how people need to stop talking and take action. This means starting from where you are, with the tools available. Over time, you can acquire more knowledge, skills, tools, and people. This all can work in your favor. However, as sho
Why The Global Reserve Currency Won't Be Replaced Anytime Soon
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qqllrnyl Many seem to feel that if a couple governments get together and decide on another currency, then it magically appears. This is not how it works.
In this video I discuss why the eurodollar (not USD) is not going to be replaced by as the global reserve currency anytime soon.
The Monetary System: Ledger Based Money And Networks
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uyoorcmt Most have a misconception of what our monetary system truly is. There is the belief that we are somehow dealing with a systen controlled by government, printing presses, and involves currency.
This is not the case.
In this video I discuss how we are watching the evolution of virtual currency. This is something that started almost 70 years ago and is only picking up steam. This is a crucial concept as we deal with digital assets and, more impor
The Future of Money: A Look At The Possibilities
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/paeqnobt What is the future of money? This is subject of great discussion.

Let's Talk About AI Girlfriends
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hkhbzydo AI Girlfriends (or boyfriends)? What the heck are we talking about?
In this video I discuss the advancement of technology and how it relates to humans. On the surface, this idea seems absurd. However, if we look at what humans typically connect with, it is really that outlandish? Here we delve into some of the discussion especially as it relates to AI passing the Turing Test.
Why We Set Up The @town-hall Witness Server
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wxhocudv The @town-hall Witness Server is now live.
In this video I discuss why the 4 of us got together and decided to put together a Witness server. Also covered is the vision tied to it and how it will potentially impact the community.
It is also something that is tied to the monthly Town Hall Spaces that we are doing to help educate the newer members along with serve as a liason between the community and top Witnesses.
Hive Moving Beyond Just Rewards: Creating Other Revenue Streams
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ngikkvwq For the most part, Hive has relied upon the coin creation from inflation. This is how most of the economoy was driven. While there is nothing wrong with this, it is not sufficient.
In this video I discuss how there are a couple projects that are taking Hive past just the reward pool. This is Wavio and Leo, both of which are implmenting new income streams which could benefit users.
Building A Business On Hive: Some Things That I Learned
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sbhwitpu There are many reasons to build a business on Hive. One of the biggest is you need permission from nobody. Since the blockchain is permissionless, anyone can build.
Also, building does not solely apply to technical people or DApp developers. In fact, I maintain we need a lot more than that.
In this video I discuss why it is a good idea on Hive and some of the things to take away from it. You will encounter some challenges but that is true no
What Hive Can Learn From Media Companies
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kvghchuf Media companies are amazing. Whatever our views on how they operate, their expansion is incredible. There is also a great lesson in this for Hive.
In this video I discuss how we have to start looking at things in terms of multiple segments. We also have to consider all mediums. This is where Hive can thrive. We being a new element to the table, enabling us to offer solutions down the road.
What Is The Mindset Of Those Who Get Disrupted And Why Does It Happen?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mqhxiwoi Disruption is something that is a wrecking ball. The key is that it tends not to happen overnight.
In this video I discuss the two places that people come from when facing disruption yet getting crushed by it. This is true especially for executives in companies that are confronted with it.
Being Able To Have Some Foresight Into The Future Is Crucial
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/halppeax We are in a technological era. This means that the major constant is change. Industries are going to be upended by the smallest of entities. This is how disruption works.
In this video I discuss how there are so many, even on Hive who cannot believe what they are told. Unless they see it, they do not believe it will happen. Unfortunately, by the time you can see it, it is too late.
We Are Seeing The Ability To Radically Accelerate Things On Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uaiywbks When people are given the tools they need to create what they need, things can move quickly. One of the issues with Hive is so much time is required to build them so people can be turned loose. We are getting closer to that point.
In this video I discuss how I am seeing one of my projects really accelerate. There is still a bit more of the foundation required but things are falling into place.
Twitter Being Investigated By SEC Over Data Hack Showing Why Web3 Is Crucial
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rfegdzud We see keep seeing the same story happening over and over.
The SEC is investigating Twitter over a data hack back in 2018. This is targeting the old management not notifying shareholders of the potential risk (I presume financial).
In this video I discuss how we keep seeing this with centralized entities. The data that these companies (retail, financial, or social media)house is a honeypot for hackers. It is another reason for us to work on de
We Need More Big Thinkers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/susnkcbh Part of the problem on Hive is that it seems the overall mindset is very small. Certainly, there are individuals who are taking on some major challenges, building stuff that shows the size of their thinking. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the norm.
In this video I discuss how this is not uncommon. It is true throughout most of society, in any pursuit. That said, Hive needs a lot more people with big ideas and a belief they can be p
A Sunday Rant: What Message Are You Delivering And Why So Many Fail
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bjxbeyqt What message are you delivering? What are you focusing upon? Do you concentrate your areas of focus?
These are important questions.
In this video I discuss why Hive is going to be overlooked by so many until the day comes when the big money was made. Early adopters tend to get the lion's share of the benefits. This is something that leaves those who had an opportunity as resentful and upset. Yet, if they were honest, they did it to themselve
The Future: Hive Layers So Communities Can "Cafeteria Plan" Things
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mgaoymli The development on Hive is incredible. We have things being build in such a way where decentralization is always on people's mind.
During the latest CTT broadcast the discussion was on the different layers being built tied to Hive. These layers are what is going to allow tokenizedd communities to tap into many different features.
In this video I discuss how it is going to be like buying insurance. Communities will have the option of what they
Elections and Blockchain: Bringing Trust to the Trustless
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/erqmyidt Blockchain came about to bring trust to financial transactions without the use of a third party. This was an amazing breakthrough that is the foundation for so much more.
In this video I discuss how the U.S presidential election is shaping up to be one where the results will not be accepted by large portions of the population. This is regardless of who wins. It shows how politicized things have gotten.
What is going to be the solution? In the
Be Careful: In Crypto There Is A Lot Of Talk Of Decentralization But Little Is
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tddrtfjy The SBF trial is certainly revealing how foolish it was to trust those entities. Of course, this is against the tenet of "not your keys, not your coins".
In this video I discuss how we have to look much further than this. We are dealing with a lot of misleading stuff as the evolution of crypto takes place. Things are not as decentralized as people claim, at least with particular projects.
What Does A Tokenized World Look Like In The Age Of Automation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wggqpnxs Many talk about the future of jobs and what society will look like as automation keeps expanding. Personally, I do foresee a time where we have a post labor economy. This means that a major portion of economic productivity will not come from humans. In fact, it is likely they will not be involved.
What does that means for us mortals? What do we do and how does society operate?
In this video I discuss how tokenization is going to change everyt
The Glorious Future of Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mrecjzak I am starting to see more people talk about Hive.
This could be some momentum since Hivefest. Also, we had a Town Hall that allowed for people to ask question and discuss governance. This is something that I believe helped many regular people on Hive learn about something they were not aware of.
In this video I discuss the future of Hive including how some infrastructure is going to change things greatly on Hive.
Why Web3 Is So Important For A Web 3.0 World
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rjdiykby Why is web3 important? To me this is a difference in ownershp and business structure.
In this video I discuss how we are dealing with some powerful technologies. The challenge with this is we are still dealing with the corporate environment. That means the distribution of the value is still only in the hands of a few. This is why we need web3.
Hive; Beyond Commerce and Finance
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gnrczazd We are focused upon building finance and commerce on Hive. This is important. However, we have to look beyond it.
In this video I discuss how we need to think beyond the monetary focus that is so common with blockchain. Crypto is just a part of what can be achieved on blockchain.
Hive Against The Backdrop Of Technology
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/toahppwz We are seeing some major advancements with technology. This is something that is going to affect Hive because it is at the center of Web3, something that comprises Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss some of the concepts that are being espoused and pursued by developers. We are still working on infrastructure but there is a lot that is going to be built which will impact Hive.
The Power of the DAO: This is The Ideal For Artificial Intelligence
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fjmebqto It seems like the concept of the DAO and artificial intelligence were made for each other. The key to the DAO seems to be the word "autonomous". It appears people are trying to apply this idea to things that aren't autonomous.
In this video I discuss how we are embarking upon a period of radical change. This is going to see the rise of more autonomous systems. Will the DAO be the strcuture underlying much of this?
Boomers Ending Up Homeless: This A Result Of A Mindset
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hyqcjsjf Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/unconscionable-baby-boomers-becoming-homeless-103000310.html
It is being reported that Boomers are ending up homeless at a rate not seen since the Great Depression.
In this video I discuss how this could happen and how the Boomers have been in control for much of the last 30 years. It was a generation that was bigger than any other and also came into prominence during the
Why I Am Optimistic About Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/julbfuuh When I look at Hive, I pull from many different perspectives in my background.
This leads me to have an optimistic viewpoint of the foundation we are seeing put in place with Hive. At the same time, we have pockets forming, both in person and digitally, that are expanding. So while the numbers are still small, we are seeing the potential that is emerging.
In this video, I do hit upon the big elephant in the room (again). We are still lacking b
What Is Your Post-Hivefest Road Map?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jjiwsscl Now that Hivefest is in the dust, what are you going to do different?
This is something to consider. We had two days worth of presentations which told us a great deal about what is taking place.
In this video I discuss whether things are changing for most people. The reality is that when people attend events like this, they tend to get fired up yet fail to follow it up with action. The question is what are you doing differently this week as co
Hivefest Day 2 Takeaway: Opportunities To Earn For Everyone
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/psbzucav One of the issues with Hive is that lack of focus in terms of message. This is viewed as a negative although it is a feature of decentralization. Basically, it is telling us we are getting it right.
In this video I discuss how the striking part of the presentations today was the ability being presented for people earn. We are seeing more options appearing to individuals. We are moving away from being rewards only. The ability to build a busi
Hivefest Day 1 Takeaway: Hive Is Going To Be Bigger Than People Think
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dbzxdntv Listening to the presentations at Hivefest, there is something that stood out. When we see some of the people who are truly dedicated to Hive, we see something that stands out.
In this video I discuss how there are many with big visions and how what we have now will be much bigger in 2-3 years. A lot of this is tied to infrastructure which is boring to most yet is crucial. This leads to the building of apps and games, which can then feed into
Taskmaster Success Guide Part 7: Stocism
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/unczzopx Stoicism is something that is misunderstood. It is an entire philosophy that could encompass a million videos.
In this video I discuss how it is crucial to focus upon what we can control. Most spend their lives focusing upon things they have no impact upon. Here is where success gets derailed.
We also incorporate this into emotions. Too many are slaves to their emotions, being controlled by them.
Hive Till Thrive By Going After The Others
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yncusnoj Hive is rather unique. The next iteration of success is going to come from areas like Ghana, Nigeria, Cuba, and Venezuela.
This makes Hive unique. While most projects seek to get the developed nations involved, Hive has the ability to appeal to those who lack resources. This strikes a major difference while also creating extreme loyalty. We see that in the behavior of many from these nations on Hive.
Taskmaster Success Guild: Part 6
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ksftwgze We are all going to die.
This is the topic of this video. Naturally, this is something we all know. If that is the case, however, why do we not live like we are going to die?
It is a practice that was practices throughout history. Cultures before us were able to embrace death and use it to live. It is something we have lost today.
Taskmaster Success Guide Part 5
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nlygmepq Here is the 5th installment of our success guide.
In this video I discuss how we need to avoid the victim mindset. This is a loser mentality and only leads to failure. We see this in people. The reality is bad stuff is done to people, often unprovoked. However, being a victim means there has to be an oppressor.
The Next Opportunity: Providing Infrastructure To Digital Networks
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/azdxwsfq What is the next opportunity for people?
We could see the infrastructure being an area where people can take advantage. The value of cloud is beyond dispute.
In this video I discuss how we might see decentralized systems starting to grow as we move towards the Metaverse. This could be a multi-decade pursuit but that is going to require massive computing at the edge. In the meantime, other forms of infrastructure requirements will pop up.
The Numerous Ways To Get Rewarded on Hive: An Example From Earlier
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/alcrhrch There are so many ways to get rewarded on Hive. This is something that keeps expanding.
In this video I discuss how a threadcast can lead to lots of upvotes being distributed. This is a result of people simply engaing with others during a broadcast. Watch the video to see some examples of what took place.
Taskmaster Success Guide: Part 4
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fprmcpjw The world is moved by builders. Most people simply strive to get through the day. Sadly, they do not aspite to build anything.
In this video I discuss how the majority show up to the job (something that 90% hate according to surveys) and try to extract what they can. They do not seek to build anything. This is a way to put onself on a different path completely.
The Taskmaster Success Guide: Part 3
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/romgkicg This is the third part in our ongoing series on success.
In this video I discuss the importance of not being a liar. This is not what it seems. Most would take that to mean do not lie to others. While that is something that is a given, this is much deeper than that.
Here we delve into not lying to yourself. This means not giving ourselves an out. It is the key to success because few do this.
Taskmaster Success Guide: Part 2
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ohewukop This is a follow up to the first video which can be viewed here.
In this video we discuss the second part of our success journey. In this one, we talk about the importance outlook. This does not mean positive thinking or that nonsense. Instead, we focus the difference between naysayers and those who achieve success.
Taskmaster Success Guide: Part 1
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fjfaxkgk This is series of videos that I am going to make that deals with success.
In this first one I discuss inspiration and how it is important to look at things from a level other than just money. That is not what drives those who are the top in any field. It is always something bigger.
Cryptocurrency Needs People Who Inspire
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uexgwgdp We need people who inspire.
Cryptocurrency is filled with people who are looking for mooning or are making videos about Web 3, as an example, yet doing it solely on Web2 platforms.
In this video I discuss the difference between motivation and inspiration. We need those who inspire, the ones who get people to follow based upon their actions.
PayPal: Crypto to USD Conversion Feature
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vdeyjhqa PayPal is really moving into crypto in a big way.
In this video I discuss how PayPal is stepping things up in a big way with cryptocurrency. It already announced its stablecoin, PYUSD. Now it is going to make it easier for people to have an on and off ramp to fiat currency.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://www.theblock.co/post/250333/paypal-rolls-out-crypto-for-usd-conversion-service
Success 101; Standing Out From The Crowd
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zufkyspr Most claim to want success. They say it is important to them yet their actions reveal just the opposite. Ultimately, they are lazy, small thinking, and full of excuses.
It is said the easy way to sabotage oneself is to complain. We see a lot of this. Hell, there are people who constantly complain about the weather.
In this video I discuss some of the things I picked up over the years and how to stand out from the crowd. There are opportuniti
Here Is Why I Am All In On Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wugkucwy Diversification is something the financial services industry touts as a benefit. It is not, however, the path to riches as evidenced by the wealthiest among us. They, instead, take a path of going all in on one thing.
Andrew Carnegie is credited with the idea of putting all your eggs in one basket and watching it like a hawk.
In this video I discuss this concept and how Hive offers opportunities that most do not get. Even in the stock market,
Even Ron Paul Ignores The Complexities Of Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hpojltuj The tendency is to make money seem easy and pretty straight forward. It is anything but that.
In this video I discuss how ex-Congressman Ron Paul talked about how the Saudis joining BRICS is the end of the US dollar. Here again, we see someone who is either promoting an agenda or ignorance as to how things work.
I go through it in here.
The Technology Of Cryptocurrency And Why Bitcoin isn't As Advertised
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uxdfpyqe To be a technological disruption, abundance is the priority. Never has there been a major disruption to society that was limited or scarcity. This idea that this creates value is historically wrong.
In this video I discuss how we can really see things clearly when we look at cryptocurrency from the technological angle and not just money. All of a sudden, the proposition that many espouse is negated.
This is why cryptocurrency, which operates
Branding On Hive: Go Where The Puck Is Going
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zmifhvkf We have to look at life on Hive as an exercise in branding. This is true for all content creators. People need to develop a brand and build on it. That is what comes with monetization.
In this video I discuss how Hive provides us with an opportunity to stand out while avoiding some of the pitfalls that befall other social media realms. We are looking at where the puck is going, as Wayne Gretzky is known for saying as oppose to where it is now
Why Are You On Hive?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pqwluuyd This is an important question that also leads to a host of other questions.
In this video I discuss how it is important to have an understanding of why we are here. This is what drives us. If it is just the money, that isn't going to suffice. That is rarely a driving purpose that is sustained. Usually, people end up frustrated and leave.
The Media Is Disruption In Action
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/atmpxltr We are watching disruption in action. There are many pointing fingers trying to identify what is at fault.
In this video I discuss how we are watching the entire industry implode as disruption takes place. This is what occurs when technology starts to force its way in.
Why Cryptocurrency Is Not Going Away
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hbovarkh Many feel that cryptocurrency is going to disappear. There are two camps that people who believe this fall into.
In this video I discuss why they mistakenly believe it to be the case. However, when we look at the monetary system, we can see how this cryptocurrency is a natural evolution of what has gone on for over a century.
We Have Been In A Depression And Nobody Is Talking About It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nswauvdc Since the Great Financial Crisis, we have been operating under depressionary economics. This is something that is not talked about because NBER and central bankers talk a different game. However, when we look at the monetary -non-equilibrium along with the spread into banking, we can see how this is the case.
In this video I discuss things that are no usually talked about because few look at the system at this level. Even Ben Bernanke, the Gre
Success Starts In Between Our Ears: Entitlement Is One Of The Fastest Ways To Sabotage
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zmslhrmu There are many ways we sabotage ourselves. Much of this starts in between our ears.
In the era, it seems like entitlement is the norm. Yet, there is no quicker way to sabotage oneself than to take an entitled approach
This video I discuss how blaming others and failing to take responsibility means people will not learn. Without learning, one ends up very ignorant.
Technology: Looking Into The Future Through The Eyes Of Today
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xoetbdyr It is easy to deny the potential of something and say it is not possible. However, most who do this tend to look at the future based upon what is known today. This is how people miss technological change and progress.
In this video I discuss how crypto along with other technology are really going to change society over the next decade plus. That said, there are still many who believe that it will not happen. This is because it appears they ar
The Biggest Problem Confronting DeFi
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yjulftqk There is a great deal of promise over decentralized finance (DeFi). This is for good reason.
In this vidoe i discuss how there is one major challenge long term. While people claim to want the ideals of DeFi, isn't it interesting that people turn to daddy when things go bad.
I cover how this is a mindset that DeFi has to overcome.
Twitter (X) Is Now A Financial Platform: Gets Transfer License
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ztkciqrw ELon Musk told us it was coming.
The merger between social media and finance is taking place. Twitter received its first transfer license allowing it to incorporate cryptocurrency payments and trading in the U.S. This means that Twitter can now be a custodian for virtual assets on behalf of customers.
In this video I discuss how this is changing the entire state of the platform. Musk has the goal to make X into the largest financial network in
The State of Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qxgkksts This is a video reviewing some of the potential areas where we are going to see breakthroughs.
Many of these are retreads that exited the hype area and now are dealing with development.
In this video I discuss how NFTs, DeFi, and Stablecoins are the power areas where we will see incredible growth.
Hive Bonds And Hive Finance Show How Long Term Views Are Needed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jdhblhid There was upheaval regarding the APR on HBD in savings. While this pulled forth strong opinions on both sides, it does emphasize something else.
In this video I discuss how the recent CTT broadcast and discussion about Hive Bonds along with the CDs show where the overall focus should be. Long term tells us where Hive is in a few years is much more important than short term debates.
The Future of Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tsnvcdhy Where is cryptocurrency going?
This is a question on everyone's mind. To me, this is something that looks like the developed world is going to fumble away.
In this video I discuss how cryptocurrency is going to be embraced by the developing world. That is going to be the epicenter of activity I believe.
The Shift In Power In The Media: Donald Trump And Tucker Carlson

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/levmyhtc When people understand tokenization and the monetization of data, they can begin to grasp what Web 3.0 will offer.

Hive Is Breaking Away From The Pack
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vibxjwdz Hive is separating itself from what else that is out there.

What It Takes A Create A Monetary System
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xsdivpeq There is a lot of talk about BRICS starting their own gold backed currency. According to some, this will be announced at this meeting they are having. Unfortunately, this shows a completely misunderstanding of how to create a monetary system.
In this video I discuss the components and why BRICS has a challenge on many levels in pulling something together. There is a major component that is tough to pull off when it is under one umbrella let al
Web 3.0 And Video
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vopikeqy The holy grail for content is still video. According to research, this is valued at twice the rate of gaming and 4 times that of audio. This means that it has to be a main focus of any Web 3.0 platform.
In this vidoe I discuss how we are looking at the entryway into this new paradigm. Generating video content is crucial for the transition. And with broadcast in such dire straits, it is evident the opportunity being presented.
The Monetary Shortage And How Crypto Solves It
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fhlbyloi To usher in the Age of Abundance, we need a lot more money added to the table. We are presently in a monetary shortage that is causing a major slowdown in global trade.
In this video I discuss how we are going to see this solved by cryptocurrency. Central bank reserves do not enter into the real economy since they are not US dollars but rather bank instruments pegged to a dollar. This is no different than a stablecoin other than the fact stabl
The Crypto Economy: Why It Is Crucial To Keep Building
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lvotpcxz There are some characteristics to an economy that is crucial. This starts with the understanding of the interaction with money.
In this video I discuss how we gain insight from prison economies and the lessons about unit of account along with medium of exchange.
This is a major lesson for all those in cryptocurrency.
The Crypto Markets Do Not Reflect The Industry
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qmxuuyuj It is said that the bond market is the smart money. This places stocks as dumb money.
If that is the case, crypto is moronic money.
Much of the crypto world feels prices should only go up and are baffled when they go down.
In this video I discuss how markets get all the attention but that is like listening to an emotional crazy person. Yet this is exactly what people do.
Why Hive Is One Of The Few Web 3.0 Ecosystems
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jnepkqfl It is becoming clear that most of what is out there is Web 2.5. It is Web 2.0 with a different front.
In this video I discuss how we have centralized blockchain with coin voting that includes major pre mines. We also have second layer applications that are funded by venture capital firms. Neither is going move towards decentralization.
Wall Street: The Hijacking of Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iqstcjsy This is a story that will not go away. It seems that each day we hear another story of how cryptocurrency is being pushed into the hands of the bankers and Wall Street.
In this video I discuss how the latest news from Ethereum only conforms that will be a banker chain. We now see that all built on it will likely be subject to banking regulation.
The Stablecoin Market: It Will 100x
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lwwkafii The stablecoin market will 100x. We are going to see tens or trillions of dollars in stablecoins produced. The is simply because the world needs the money.
In this video I discuss how PayPal is the first of what will be many financial institutions that start their own stablecoins. While most will be asset backed and in comlinance, the real fun will come from the algorithmic stablecoins.
Alex Chriss Named CEO Of PalPay:: Bitcoin Veteran Showing A Future Trend
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gcguojuw Alex Chriss was named the new CEO of PayPal, effective at the end of September.
This is an important move because he got involved with Bitcoin 10 years ago. This means that he has some knowledge of the cryptocurrency industry.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing people who have experience in this realm filtering into positions of power within the corporate world. The longer we see the industry around, the more people there are who have exp
Inflation: The Many Different Components And How Many Do Not Understand
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wlkdxoeo Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” - Milton Friedman
Many feel that inflation is price increase. At the same time, the belief is that central bank reserves are used to "print money". The problem is that reserves that are created on the bank of balance sheets is part of the monetary base, not money supply.
In
Ethereum: The Banker Chain
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mppwxckt Visa made news with their idea of allowing people to pay for their Ethereum fees with their Visa card.
In this video I discuss how financial institutions being attracted to Ethereum is not a surprise. We are going to see the major institutions pile in. Ethereum is where the money will flow which is good for the coin price but crap for usability.
The SEC Punts On Ark's Bitcoin ETF Application
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pesttjqi We got another Gensler move.
The SEC has basically punted on decision to approve a Bitcoin ETF based upon the spot price.
In this video I discuss how this is in keeping with how the Administration is operating and what Gensler is doing. His goal is to get this the hands of large Wall Street firms. Blackrock is the next one up.
Hive: Knowing What We Are Dealing With
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/grfizeoy If you asked a number of people what is Hive, you would get a variety of answers.
in this video I discuss how it is essential to know what we are dealing with when looking at things. People like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg always know what they are dealing with. In the digital age, it is crucial to drill down to exactly what is at the core.
Cryptocurrency Is Going To Fix The Eurodollar System
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ohyxzbml It is amazing how things unfold.
The Eurodollar system got its start because Bretton Woods targeted capital flow and sought to restrict it. This cause a lot of unment demand. The financial institutions were not about to let that happen since the job of finance is to provide liquidity.
In this video I discuss how that, since the GFC, liquidity across the world, especiallly in Eurodollars, is tight. This means global expansion is goign to suffer
The Eurodollar System and Bretton Woods
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/niobjpvi Bretton Woods was designed to restrict capital flow. This was one of the decisions by policy makers in response to the decline in value in many currencies during the 1930s. Policy makers tend to always believe speculation is at the root of all problems.
In this video I disucss how the origin of the Eurodollar System was the financial sector addressing demand from the market. What policy makers miss is that money is required for trade. Within
Artificial Intelligence And How It Isn't Self Aware
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mdkfgqxk There is a lot of fear related to artificial intelligence. The problem with this is we are looking at something generated by Hollywood. There is no Skynet in the making.
In this video I discuss how the theory that AI will suddenly become "alive" if enough nodes are connected together doesn't seem to fly. It goes counter to what it means to have life. This is a deep philosophical conversation but there is no software that is aware that it is h
Technology And Money: How Deflation Is Disrupting Everything
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hopoivdk We live in the technological age. Things are advancing at an massive rate.

The Disruption of Everything
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xusctbxt Technology has long tentacles. It is also something that goes in directions that we are now aware of.
In this video I discuss how everything is ripe for disruption, including governments. Some might be slower to adopt but things are accelerating. Disruption will happen at a greater rate.
Web 3.0 And Overcoming Obstacles
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zqyvyhwq People talk a good game. We see this in all industires, in all companies. However, there is a big difference beteween talk and doing.
In this video I discuss how the early stages of Web 3.0 means we need builders. Tied to this are those with a business mindset. There is a big difference among those with an ownership mindset andbeing a wage earner. Unfortunately, this translates into crypto where there is the market mindset and the conditione
Leofinance About To Transform Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gvncfrba Hive is getting a major makeover, albeit from the second layer.
Before going into the details, it is imperative to stress that one of Hive's major advantages is that its coin distribution is in alignment with the economic transition that cryptocurrency is meant to foster.
In this video I discuss how the focus upon reward pools could dwindle. This could alter how many approach the blockchain. It is brings people into long term thinking.
SplNetwork: Separating Storage From The Application
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/igfwzbwr SpkNetwork is creating a very powerful protocol. This is going to allow for storage to be separate from the application. It is an idea that can be a foundation to Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss how the proof of access feature is now starting to show how decentralized (excess) storage is capable of being utilized. We also are seeing how the incentive process is coming into being.
SpkNetwork's Target: The Entire Cloud
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pguoxicd SpkNetwork is a project that is sneaking up on people in terms of the potential scale. This is something, at first glance, is nothing more than a video storage platform.
In this video I discuss how the total addressible market (TAM) is much bigger. What we have is the idea of a protocol for decentralized storage. This takes things to another level. The target is the entire cloud, pitting it against the likes of AWS.
Once a procotol is out the
The US Congress Helping Wall Street Hijack Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pdlmnskg Wall Street is doing their best to hijack all they can in the crypto space. They are doing this directly with their purchasing power such as with Bitcoin.
In this video I discuss how the US Congress (along with bureaucrats like Gensler) are trying to feed crypto to Wall Street. There is a bill that has bipartisan support in the Senate that would put DeFi under the bank regulations. If an app doesnt have a principal owner, the developer is the
Money And Databases: KYC And AML Of Crypto Is Bigger Than Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tokfkvbu Politicians and regulators want KYC and AML with all things related to cryptocurrency and digital assets. These people only think that it is about money.
In this video I discuss how we are dealing with something bigger. Cryptocurrency accounts often relate more than just to money. This could have huge consequences in the world of Web 3.0.
The Need For Near Infinite Money Which Cryptocurrency Offers
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mzxpbyup We are moving deeper into the digital world. More of our society is getting eaten up by it. That means the old rules of growth, economic expansion, and market capitalization do not apply.
In this video I discuss how the inability to keep up is going to hinder growth. This is a process that is alleviated by cryptocurrency. When we look at the digital world, we see near infinite growth beofre us. The money system is going to have to keep up.
Cryptocurrency As A Monetary System
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jukbhugp There are many who question the legitimacy of cryptocurrency. This is something we see from the mainstream. However, we have to keep in mind what a monetary system is these days.
In this video I discuss how cryptocurrency and blockhcain are legitimate. This stems from the fact that one major part of a monetary system is a ledger, and blockchain provides this. Then we have the ability to communicate globally and we can see how this falls in li
We Need To Copy Musk: X Is The Merging Of Social Media And Finance
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xlzwsvgk This is something that I keep harping upon because it is the direction things are going in.
Many are proclaiming that Elon Musk is destroying Twitter. That is just foolishness.
In this video I dsicuss how we need to take a lesson from him. Web 3.0 has to make sure we are focusing on both social media and finance. In an interview, Musk affirmed this is his view for X. He wants it to be the financial center of people's lives..
Elon Musk: Genius Or Idiot?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bwhczbtr Is Elon Musk an idiot? Or is he a genius?
If you go by social media, he is the biggest moron on the planet. He is in the process of destroying Twitter and, with it, all the money that he and his investors put in.
In this video I discuss how this viewpoint might be short sighted. Musk is one of the few who understand the digital financial realm in the social media world. He is implementing a strategy he wanted to instill 20 years ago.
Inflation In The Digital Age
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/urlqkhqx Many talk about the idea of inflation being a state where there is too much money chasing too few goods and services.
While not quite accurate since it ignores the source of the price increases, it does open up a major question in the digital age.
In this video I discuss how this changes everything. It is also something that is completely overlooked. How is this possible when the digital relam is expanding at such a rapid rate?
Economists Don't Run The World - Why Do We Listen To Them?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hykmkgpy Economists tend to get a lot of credit. The challenge is that the following of their theories usually ends up poorly.
In this video I discuss how Alan Greenspan was known as The Maestro yet he didnt even understand what money is. At least he was honest enough to admit that. For some reason, we keep listening to economists when they do not run the world.
If we want to create another monetary system, we have to understand those who do run the wo
Digital Assets As The Monetary System Of The Future
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/diapfcap Cryptocurrency is nothing new, The idea of ledger based money in digital form was used for the last 40 years. This is the Eurodollar System once communications went digital.
This is the system that runs the global finance and is responsible for world trade. It is also ailing. Cryptocurrency can replace it.
In this video I discuss how digital assets are the future. This is something that many overlook but the road map is already laid.
What Is Money?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yjihiioc I am changing the direction of this channel a bit.
We are entering a period of time in cryptocurrency where some basic understanding of things is required for us to take on the established system. The banks are well aware of this.
In this video I discuss what is money and where it came from. This is a basis in the foundation going forward.
The Senate Wants To Make Developers Responsible For DeFi Protocol
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vsxvqtfz There is a bill being talked about in the US Senate that, if it went through, would hold developers of DeFi protocols that exceed $25 million responsible This is tied to an idea being put forth that DeFi applications have to come under the banking laws.
In this video I discuss how this is asinine and shows how out of touch these people in Congress truly are..
Evergreen Content Coming To Hive: This Changes Everything
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yodkwbni We are seeing another transformation taking place before our eyes.
In this vidoe I discuss how Leofinance is bringing new life to evergreen content. This is something that changes the way some content is written. Many focus upon votes as opposed to generating lifetime revenue. This is not out of line since that is where the incentives were. Now we are seeing a major transformation.
Age of Abundance: Crypto And Technology
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fmpplmal This is a basic philosophy tied to the inceome statement.
In this video I discuss who cryptocurrency, specifically Web 3.0, is going to increase the income side of the income statement. We are also going to see technology, through deflation, reduce the expenses. This will lead to the age of abundance.

More People Will Be Soon Making A Living Off Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mghlluot This is the dream of many. We are now at the point where things are happening at a rapid pace.
Over the next few month, we could see more including in the mix.
In this video I discuss how LeoAds is going to include a way for people to really enhance their earning ability on Hive. This is something that we have needed for a number of years.
The New Financial Model: Inclusion
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hjjacgkp Our present system is exclusionary. This is something we know about the financial entities we deal with.
In this video I discuss how we are creating something completely new and this is about more than just the unbanked. It is about those who are not in a position to own assets because of their financial circumstances. This is a problem that cryptocurrency does solve.
Hive Is A Digital Platform That Can Build Upon Itself
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nnutsazw We have a lot of data being placed on the blockchain. Over time, this keeps growing. These articles along with other info can be used for other purposes.
In this video I discuss a simple way that we have of taking older articles and creating some new content while improving our numbers.
When Will The Crypto Bull Market Take Off?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ftgskddy Many are wondering when the bull market will start for cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency: People Entering Who Find Problems And Solve Them
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/qrjmqtnu Cryptocurrency was simply a world of green candles and moooning.
In this video I continue with the idea of entrepreneurs entering the space. These are people who are accustomed to finding problems and solving them. This is what cryptocurrency needs. Blockchain can offer a great many solutions to problems if people build to solve them.
Businesses Are Showing Up To Crypto And This Is The Beginning Of The Shift
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lkbiqjxu We are seeing a transformation with cryptocurrency.
So far, it was a wold of technical people. The transformation that is taking place is now seeing the entry of business people into this industry. It was something we saw with the Internet.
In this video, I discuss how things will change as a result of this. We are likely to see an acceleration in many different areas due to this. Here is where people who are accustomed to solving problems st
The Two Threats To Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xfnmzbsg We are dealing with an evolving industry. This means that things are changing, both internally and from the outside.

What The Bitcoin ETF Means And How It Changes
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ofnnyimk The cryptocurrency world is going crazy with the potential of a Btcoin Spot ETF.
In this video I discuss how this is going to change thing. We now are watching the end of the idea of Bitcoin being something outiside of Wall Street. It is going to take over. How is this going to shape the rest of the industry is the question.

Cryptocurrency Takes Perseverance: It Is New Technology
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zpmmjihg We talk a great deal about changing the world and how the opportunity is there for Web 3.0 to have a huge impact.
In this video I discuss how this all requires perseverance. We are not going to see things evolve rapidly, not in relation to the existing system. For those who seem incredible heights in crypto, it is time to button down and get busy.
Cryptocurrency: With Opportunity Comes Reponsibility
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uabirgjv I have discussed the idea of each Hive account being a business. At the same time, I also mentioned how we need to take ownership of what is taking place and have that mindset. All of this equates to responsibility, something people seem to abhor.
In this video I discuss why it is crucial we cease the blame game and excuse making. Instead, we need to focus upon the task at hand while diving in to make this transition happen. The financial ben
Technology Is Changing Things In Ways We Didnt Expect: Twitter And Reddit Are Examples
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/abfxcuus We have seen some decisions that are curious to people.
First we have Twitter and Reddit doing the things they did. At the same time, ESPN is laying off a lot of on air personalities.
In this video I discuss how this is a sign of technology changing things and perhaps, these decisions are not as surface level as many believe.
Twitter Moves And What It Means For Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xlbqbqpm Twitter has enraged the community. There was a capping on the number of tweets that can be read. This send the Twitter-sphere off the deep end. Many are once again, calling for the death of Twitter.
In this video I discuss how many of these people were saying it was dead back in November. Yet, here we are. So they were wrong then, and now they are right? Not likely.
The reality is Web 3.0 is not going to benefit much since people do not cha
Blocktrades Ends Trading On Its Exchange And What It Means For Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wvxghjbj Blocktrades announced they are ending trading on their exchange, Blocktrades.us.
In this video I discuss the implication of this on Hive. Blockchains is one of the core developers and removing the chaos of regulation that comes with running an exchange might be helpful. It does affect Hive users who have to move HIVE or HBD to fiat. It was a popular site.
We delve into what the future is along with where we need to concentrate our efforts. Th
Spot Bitcoin ETFs And CBDCs
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/kyfacoiv There is a lot going on. We see another Wall Street firm, Fidelity, entering the fray for a Spot ETF (Bitcoin). This is on the heels of Blackrock.

Life Changing Money: That Is What Crypto Offering
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nrplgeoa There is something about being an early adopter. The potential for a huge windfall, especially with technology, exists. There is a key though: you have to get involved.
In this video I discuss how we are given an opportunity. The question I always ask is could this turn into life changing money? In other words, I have to have enough to truly get to that point.
What Do I Think Of All This Government And Wall Street Action Around Cryptocurrency?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/yjckrpap We have a lot taking place. Much of this excites people in cryptocurrency. After all, it is the start of a bull run.
This reminds me of 2017 when people were screaming for Wall Street to get into crypto. They were only focused upon green candles and mooning coins.
In this video I discuss how these are not important. Government and Wall Street are not required for crypto. In fact, they are going to try and hijack as much as they can. Gary Ge
Web 3 Is The Only Way Out: Why Crypto Has To Succeed
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bxdnistj This is a rather interesting video pulling some different ideas together.
I wont try to explain it here.
Basically we are going to deal with technology, UBI, web3, job loss, deflation, and governments. It is an interesting thing to game theory and try to see what options there are.
Ultimately, we are going to have to see the success of Web 3.0.
Why Cryptocurrency Is A Needed Part Of The Future
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hdpsmirk There is a simple reason why cryptocurrency is a part of our future. It is simple needed. However, it is not for the reason one would think.
In this video I discuss how we are faced with a situation where more money in the economy is needed. Cryptocurrency is the solution that is needed.
Designing Tokenomic Systems Without Understanding Money
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/buzayoay This is in response to some of what took place on the most recent episode of CTT.
In this video I discuss how we have people who are creating projects with tokenomics without understanding money. This is a very dangerous situation since this lack of understanding can doom a project.
Of course, this is prevelant in cryptocurrency and one reason why a lot of what we are dealing with is going to be ineffective. If we want to take out the bankers,
Cryptocurrency In The US Is A Mess
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xszgbhxl Gensler and company are a screwy bunch. We now get a leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF while the spot ETF for Bitcoin is on hold. Of course, Gensler claims to be protecting the retail investor yet leverage ETF are not a safe product.
In this video I discuss how Senator Lummis chimed in but we cannot put much faith in Congree either. Basically the circus is likely to continue for a while, until we get passed the next election.
Liquidity Being Pumped: This Will Send Markets Flying (Including Crypto)
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jmnxfiew I usually do not make market calls. However, since early in the year, we saw liquidity moving into the system. This reverses what took place for about 18 months. While the Fed is still technically tightening, i.e. reducing their Treasuries, there are other areas where the net effect is much changing.
In this video I discuss some moves, especially by the US Treasury, that is going to have an impact. Liquidity means grasping the entire system,
Cryptocurrency Receiving Major Validation
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/utgrlrjd We are at the point where cryptocurrency is receiving validation from the establishment. This is something that masses require, since they tend to believe the mainstream narrative even if they complain about it.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing Wall Street (etal) starting to embrace crytpo. After years of fighting it, we see some major things happening that affirm what many of us were saying for years.
Tesla: Don't Get Emotional About A Stock
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mbofizcx This is the famous line from Gordon Gecko from the film Wall Street. It is something to think about.
In this video I discuss how we have to separate the market from the company. I use the move from 2019-2020 to the peak and then trough in 2022. The entire gain was wiped out. Yet, Tesla the company was almost completely different by the end of 2022 as compare to a few years before.
The Power of Decentralization: How It Will Help Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mqmaotup In this video i discuss and contrast centerlization versus decentralization. This is an important topic because it is why I believe Web 3.0 and all that is tied to it (cryptocurrency/blockchain/defi) are so powerful.
When it comes to this concept, it is well known the power of centralization. What often gets overlooked is the power of decentralization. In fact, over time, this becomes even more powerful.
Blackrock Filing For Bitcoin ETF: This is A Major Shift
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lquydpao The news this week that Blackrock, the largest company in terms of assets under manamgent in the world, filed for a Bitcoin ETF sent waves throughout the cryptocurrency industry.

Elon Musk Claims He Has No DOGE Wallets
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/eqrdfexf If this is true, imagine the shock to all those DOGE people who piled in believing ELon was going to make it the top coin in crypto. It turns out he might have been trolling all along.
In this video I discuss how people who buy crypto assets based upon an influencer or some paid shill are foolish. There is nothing wrong with gathering info but we have to make our own decisions. The fact people are suing Musk for a pump and dump when he might h
Winner Take Most: Mark Cuban Lays Down Cryptocurrency Facts
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hmeakihm Whether you like Cuban or not, he does know technology. He was one of the early movers in the Internet era.
In this video I discuss an article that covered a debate he had over crypto with a former SEC official. The bottom line is Cuban said some very relevant things that we all need to think about.
Here is the link to the article:

Age of Abundance: Quasi-Infinite Economy
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/aihvjtax What happened if the per capita income of each person was almost limitless? We would have a near (or quasi) infinite economy. This is what happens when technology, especially through digitization occurs.
In this video I discuss how we are entering an age where many technologies are expanding at a rapid rate. Things such as AI and robotics are gong to have a major impact upon economic productivity within the next decade. This means we will lik
Theycallmedan Blasts Blockchain Trilemma: Makes Offer To Openly Debate Anyone
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/whyyunii @theycallmedan has put a line in the sand. He did it on Twitter also.
Earlier today he had a recording where he literally called the blockchain scaling trilemma "bullsh^t". He followed it up with theoffer to debate anyone on the topic.
In this video I go through what he said and how it applies to Hive. We are gaining a lot of insight into the mechanisms that SpkNetwork and VSC are employing with regards to the future direction of Hive and smar
Anti-Gensler Post: Banks Starting To Use Ethereum
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mfmrziey For all the noise Gensler is making, it is easy to overlook what is taking place.
In this video I discuss how the Bank of China just distributed $28M worth of notes to clients in the Asian region. This was done on the Ethereum blockchain. It is not surprising since many opined that it will likely be a banker chain.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:

Leofinance Is Bringing Web 3.0 To The Table
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fadskpjw We talked a great deal about Web 3.0 and the potential it has. When we look at the combination of social media and finance, we can see how things can change. Key in this is account ownership along with people not being the product.
In this video I discuss how we are moving closer to the time when a new business model is fully implemented. This revolves around the creation of revenues that is used to buy the token on the open market and deliver
Governments Are Waging Cryptocurrency War
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iwwlwaka It is interesting how cryptocurrency is becoming a tool between governments to use against each other. There is a race going on and it seems this is pitting country against country.
In this video I dicuss how China is embraing it while the US is going in the opposite direction. This means that countries could be making decisions that are going to have severe impacts over the next few years.
Hive: Thousands Of Niches
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/krjdczla Hive is a decentralized system. This means we have base layer infrastructure, much of which is decentralized, and that is built upon by projects. Most of these are unrelated and not correlated in any way. There could be some cross pollinization based upon the users but basically it is a separate niche.
In this video I discuss how these niches keep growing. We have many different ones that are expanding, whether it is an app, game or even offl
Age of Abundance: A Number of Areas Where We See Major Change
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/cpxcrdbh Computing, energy, and robotics are a few areas where the next couple decades will see a major shift.
In this video I discuss major changes that are coming in some vital areas of our life. Here is where we could see massive growth rates which will completely change society.
Crypto: Everyone Needs To Relax
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nllihjqk Gensler will eventually be like a tick on a dog's ass; nothing more than a nuisance.
In this video I discuss how FUD can be powerful in terms of market reaction yet it rarely changes the path of things. We see that crypto is much bigger than Gensler or even the USG.
Gensler Wants Crypto To Be In The Hands Of Wall Street
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xgkzclqj While I thought Gensler's goal was to destroy crypto, I have looked at things again. He is a Goldman Sachs guy. His goal is not to destroy crypto.
In this video I discuss how Gensler is going after companies so that crypto can be handed over to Wall Street. This is what Gensler is doing. His goal is to remove all the competition so Goldman and JPM can sweep in and become the gatekeepers.
Gary Gensler Feel There Is No Need For Any Currency Other Than USD
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/duvgdpif The major news is the SEC suing Coinbase and Binance. What appears to be overlooked is the interview that Gary Gensler did with CNBC.
In this video I discuss how he said that we have no need for other currency than the US dollar. So what we have the head of the SEC putting him opinion in to the destruction of an industry.
Technology Hype: We Are Seeing It Again
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/emyfevgd Are we going back down the technology hype rabbit hole?
Over the last few months people are talking more about technology. We are seeing the top 5 stocks for (name the technology) videos appearing.
In this video I discuss the technology backdrop and how there are societal impacts that go through 20 year cycles. The next two decades will see this yet we have to be careful about falling for the hype.
Cryptocurrency: Risk Mitigation Through Decentralization
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/uylrfkim Wehn researching the monteary system in greater detail, we see how the post Cival War period to the early 1900s was full of panics and major recessions. The central bank was suppose to fix this and, to a degree, has spread them out. However, my view is that this system was passe by the 1950s.
In this video I discuss some of the lessons from the past and how cryptocurrency is operating a bit differently. We see things forming that are global an
Where Is Web 3 Technology Compared To The Original Internet?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/nkkrerzv This doesnt get discussed enough. Sometimes we should take a step back to see where we are.
In this video I discuss how we are still before the dot com bubble. Web 3.0 is a much bigger process than Web 2.0 since that used the original internet infrastructure. Here we are seeing a parallel with the original rollout during the 1990s.leofi
Countries Will Have To Embrace Cryptocurrency: Surprising Reason
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ucaeslhm Many governments have taken a harsh stance towards cryptocurrency. The Chinese did this by banning mining. However, it is now reversing course.
In this video I discuss how we could be dealing with an industry that hits $10 trillion globally. Does any country not want to be a part of that? Can it afford to be outside looking in?
Proof Governments Are Not Equipped To Deal With Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wzkzesup I said all along that governments cannot deal with cryptocurrency. They are dinosaurs when it comes to this stuff.
In this video I discuss how we now have evidence of how lost these people are. They are so far behind it is unreal.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:

The Milkshake Theory And How Things Could Unfold
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mllypzwk Have you heard of the milkshake theory? This was developed by Brent Johnson and it refers to the value being sucked out of other currencies in a relative basis.
In this video I discuss how this theory along with a potential sovereign debt crisis could unfold. This is the direction the world is heading based upon what we are seeing. Keep in mind this was first espoused in 2018, more than 5 years ago.
We Are Seeing A Business Approach
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rvlpjrwg After listening to the AMA by Leofinance today, it became evident of where this is going.
In this video I discuss how I was reminded of meetings we had when I was working. These were at the beginning of each month, reviewing what took place and our plans for the month ahead. We do not see a lot of this in the world of cryptocurrency.
Governments Starting To Position Themselves To Take Advantage Of Cryptoucrrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jgjlvqen While there is still a large anti-crypto sentiment out there, we are seeing something interesting happening. Some countries are now starting to position themselves to take advantage of what cryptocurrency and blockchain offers.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing some countries, mostly in the developing world, start to open themselves up to the potential that exists. This is a part of the counter-balancing effect to combat what the larger
Disruption Is Here With Web3: This Is Not Hype
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iybsebfn We are seeing a massive transformation happening. This is something to pay attention to.
In this video I discuss how this is different from a couple years ago regarding the Metaverse. I use to talk about this conceptually but stopped when the hype train got going. It was obviously a farce since the underlying technology isnt there.
With Web 3.0, we are dealing with a different animal.
How Powerful Hive Is And What We Have Going
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ciqovfwh After listening to CTT, the power of Hive is reaffirmed. These two really deep dive into the basics of this ecosystem.
In this video I discuss what we are seeing with the potentiality and where things are going. We are now looking at infrastructure going into place that can really alter how Hive interacts with the rest of the crypto world.
Hive Expansion: From Both Inside and Outside
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/vujazboz Expansion of Hive is multi-dimensional. It has to come from the outside obviously. However, we cannot overlook what is occurring within the existing projects here.
In this video I discuss how the recent updates to Leofinance and Ecency increased the performance and offerings of these applications. While it is important to bring new ones from the outside, we cannot overlook internal expansion.
Waves Came To Ecency: Another Addition To Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pumhhurf We saw Ecency adding to its platform by creating what they call Waves. It is microblogging on the HIve blockchain similar to Leothreads.
In this video I discuss how adding to Hive is a good idea. We know that an open database can be tapped into by any front end. We see this with long form content but now it is happening with microblogging.
Cryptocurrency On Chinese Media
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/lydshgtk There was a crypto story on the mainstream media channel in China. This is creating another interesting situation with the pro versus anti crypto.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing more sides drawn in the battle for and against crypto.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/china-central-television-airs-crypto-segment-in-rare-move
Bear Markets Are For Builders
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ywsqvbsj On Hive, we can really see how this is the case.
This is an old saying. Part of it stems from the idea of dollar cost averaging. However, it takes on new meaning on Hive.
In this video I discuss how those who "built" the last 18 months will see their wallets with more coins or tokens than before the bear market started. This should be a great when the bull market takes off. The advantage is that, on Hive, we can DCA without spending any money
eNaira's Failure And HBD
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jeizhhxx The eNaira was a total failure based upon the redemption of banknotes. It had a rate of 0.5% of the banknotes redeemed.
In this video I discuss how we have a prime market for HBD in these countries. It is how we can target the unbank around the world. We have the idea of either top-down forced by central banks versus grossroots adoption.
Abundance And The International View: How Crypto Is Going To Change Things
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/rkxajanv Hive is one cryptocurrency system that is having an impact.
In this video I discuss the global north and south, something economists and bankers often focus upon. We have seen what their system does and how it failed in its mission. We are starting to lay a foundation in countries around the global south that can make a radical difference.
Hive Infrastructure Being Built That Will Lead To Big Growth
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/jggfckwh Hive is doing like the rest of cryptocurrency; bulding out infrastructure.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing a massive expansion of the infrastructure that is going to lead to big growth. Once the infrastructure is in place, multiple developers can tap into that and build out applications in a much quicker period of time. It takes time but this is where the massive advancement comes from.
The Future of Hive Is Unfolding
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/osqchusc We are seeing what is possible when the community gets active on chain. Granted there is a contest which provides added incentive.
In this video I discuss how Leothreads is over 12K for the day. Imagine trying this on a chain with TX fees. We are seeing the numbers growing, pushing activity higher.
It Is Time To Expect Web 3.0
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/zbbeoqkx We know how Web 2.0 operates. The users are the product and have no stake, for the most part, in the financial benefits from the platform. There is also a lot of what is being called Wbe 2.5 which is just Web2 repackaged.
In this video I discuss how we should, as users expect the tenets of Web 3.0 in those things that we spend our time on. If it isnt there, focus attention elsewhere.
The Ownership Mindset: Digital Real Estate
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/hmqkwayr We have to alter our thinking regarding cryptocurrency and the digital world. The idea of network-states changes things completely. Base layer coins are the entry way into the world of digital ownership.
In this video I lay out more examples of how our thinking has to change especially about something like Hive. We are now embarking upon a major paradigm shift that few people realize.
Web 3.0: The Ownership Mindset
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ztqllgnt We are involved in a major paradigm shift that completely alters us from the traditional wage-slave economy that most of us live under.
In this video I discuss how Web 3.0, because of its ownership attributed, completely alters the make up of society. It can potentially move all of us from this to something where we have responsibility for what is taking place. It is something that the majority of society is unaccustomed to. We were reared to
Leaked Memo: Democrats Organized Against Crypto
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/tnfgpwby There was a leaked memo that was reported on by Fox News. We have to be careful with these "leaks" as they can be made up stuff. However, it is in keeping with some of what we have seen take place over the last year or two.
In this video I discuss how, in the United States, crypto is entirely political now. It will be a hot topic during election season. I also cover what this could mean for crypto going forward.
Here is the article:

What Are My Thoughts About Elon Musk
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/chdgfdzw What do I think about Elon Miusk?
This is something that is important considering we cover much of what Tesla does.
In this video I discuss Elon and his different companies. Essentially, it boils down to what my interests are.
The Amazing Expansion Of Hive
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bhbtibux We are seeing a lot of stuff happening on Hive. There is infrastructure being put in place that is changing everything. This is coupled by the fact that some other blockchains are showing their flaws. Look at Bitcoin and Lightning.
In this video I discuss ideas such as Hive being the transaction layer for Bitcoin with a decentralized wrapped version. This is in addition to games and other things being created.
Texas And Florida Taking Action Against Gov't Trying To Step On Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ccheqnfk We are seeing the political lines being drawn. In the meantime, we keep building. However, there were two pieces of news that are big time support for the industry.
In this video I discuss how Florida banned CBDCs as legal tender within the state. Also, Texas is looking to make digital asset protection part of its Bill of Rights.
The Technology Trend And Cryptocurrency
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/bgbctuit In my following of technological trends, which is approaching 25 years, I can say that we are seeing some thing in crypto that are reflected in the past.
We are going to look at some of the innovations of the 21st century and how it affect the incumbants and the industries they were in. I discuss EVs, smartphones, and Netflix while paralleling them to what we are seeing with crytpo.
Bitcoin Maxi Upset About Ordinals
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/dcievzrr The transaction fees on Bitcoin are going up. A lot of this is due to ordinals. It is interesting to watch the reaction of Bitcoin Maxis.
Bitcoin is the most secure network. It is also decentralized. These are two things it has going for it.
In this video I discuss how the maxis are upset at the lack of "quality" transactions that are clogging up the network. Isnt that interesting.
The Pushback Against Anti-Crypto Is Getting Stronger
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/xldpunzu We are seeing a lot of things going on at the same time.
To start, PayPal now as close to $1 billion in cryptocurrency in custody.
Then we have the SEC receiving pushback from a number of companies/organizations:
https://blockworks.co/news/coinbase-a16z-push-back-sec
We also have members of the United States Senate looking at pushing back on CBDCs.

Hive: A Real World Network State
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/gogquhnn This is a subject I have played with off and on for a while. It started with some demographic issues in countries and declining populations in rural areas. What if we had a Hive epicenter in the physcial world?
In this video I discuss the ongoing evolution of this idea and how we could be seeing some of this arise in Sucre. The point is can we build a offline Hive community that brings the idea of a network state to a different level?
The Bitcoin Lies
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/iddbbfgy We have been told a number of things about Bitcoin. The problem is that a lot of it did not come true.
One of the biggest lies we were told is that Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. After all, Fed money printing to Bitcoin Maxis is a plague upon humanity. Yet, record "money" printing and 40 year highs in the CPI, and BTC goes from $65K to $15K.
In this video I discuss how people are misled and how the lies just keep mounting. The problem
How Hive Can Consume Other Crypto Projects
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/sfiotrpv We see Web 2 used by most crypto projects. Hive is the epitome of Web 3.0.
In this video I discuss how we are going to see Hive become a stronger ecosystem. It is one of the few that can combine social media and finance. For this reason, projects, even on other changes, will end up being drawn to the tools present.
Businesses In Cryptocurrency: Time To Up The Game
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/taxaujfe We see a lot of "projects" in cryptocurrency and blockchain. Unfortunately, we see few that are operating like businesses.
In this video I discuss how it is crucial for this transition be made. If not, we are going to continue to flail until the major companies enter and clean up.
North Carolina House Passes Bill Banning CBDCs
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/mrdhqrfv The House in North Carolina is following Florida in looking to ban CBDCs from the state.
In this video I discuss this move and what it all means. I also frame the discussion against the backdrop of what is really taking place.
Here is the article mentioned in the video:
https://cryptopotato.com/north-carolina-house-votes-in-favor-of-cbdc-ban/
Stablecoins In A World Of Network-States
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/ynihxhkw We often talk about reserve currency and replacing the USD. THere are also topics such as what will dominate; Tether, USDC, Bitcoin.
In this video I discuss how we are moving, at least in part, to network-states. Because of this, we are going to see a multi-dimensional world created. The stablecoins that succeed are the ones that take advantage of this.
Crypto Markets Entering The Bull
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/fzjzvsbk I dont usually talk about markets. Prices do what they do. However, there is a macro observation that I think is applicable.
In this video I discuss how liquidity is increasing, meaning that asset classes that ourperform, i.e. crypto and mega tech, is likely to benefit. When looking at the central banks along with the Eurodollar system, we can see a path where things are reversing. A lot of this is based upon the value of things such as bonds
Decentralization Vs. Centralization: Why Decentralized Wins in The Long Run
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/pftuolyg We see many industries starting to decentralize. This is going to be an interesting thing to watch as industries start to transition.
In this video I discuss how a couple of majr industries are already starting to shift. In the long run, decentralization is more powerful but centralization gets the early jump.
Corporations Are Going Into Crypto In Spite Of Uncertainty
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=taskmaster4450/wgozkhiw We are seeing more institutions jumping into the cryptocurrency realm. The tokenization of everything is underway.
In this video I discuss how we are seeing corporations (especially financial) ignoring the uncertainty surrpounding regulation and diving into this early stage industry. Now we are seeing the race change.
