I never wish incarceration on anyone but some people really ask for it. I won't bore u with all the litigious details. The most criminal evidence presented during the court hearing was, that <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Celsius encouraged new members to deposit funds.

There was a lot of backdoor dealings and greed that resulted in our funds being confiscated. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The money is currently being gobbled up by lawyers while we creditors wait for the crumbs</span>. The way things look<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> there are two outcomes</span>. The first, is that a big company buys Celsius and possibly repays creditors <span style="color: #3d85c6;">between thirty and fifty percent of their assets back</span>. This is based on the value of the assets at the time of bankruptcy. The second, which is least appealing is that no suitable bid is presented and the case goes into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_7,_Title_11,_United_States_Code" target="_blank">Chapter 7</a> which is liquidation. In that case very similar to what is already occurring <span style="color: #3d85c6;">the lawyers get paid and the creditors receive nothing</span>.

Still. Getting something back is better than nothing. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">According to the hearing dates we will know the verdict sometime in the next six months</span>. If Alex does go to jail he won't be alone. He can hangout with his old buddy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried" target="_blank">SBF</a> and trade investing tips. Not long after my last post <span style="color: #3d85c6;">SBF was arrested for his role in the downfall of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTX" target="_blank">FTX</a> exchange</span>. When the police showed up at his door I bet <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried" target="_blank">SBF</a> was more nervous than a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. You know he never expected to go to jail. Getting guys like them out of crypto is the right move for the industry. Now that so many big players are gone from the space a vacuum has been created. It will be interesting to see who steps in to fill it. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYsBbWauwgf_GMCY8Q7eSzK_tvL2_Js0AUxsDF2tN0dcYAgRvVEjuP_ZkfpcunE6PGrIqFbnfSwTaq92HkGFxhZ26GhhTfddfhiCbmnMEipsYYpR5RTZcQaPs54bKTmXDI5TZVJIQM7UQ5Wm51lFUJsa6aNj5gFesJvl5oqUiZxgU1vkKx3eskywS5pA/s1608/Screenshot_2023-02-20-00-14-58-91_0b2fce7a16bf2b728d6ffa28c8d60efb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1608" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYsBbWauwgf_GMCY8Q7eSzK_tvL2_Js0AUxsDF2tN0dcYAgRvVEjuP_ZkfpcunE6PGrIqFbnfSwTaq92HkGFxhZ26GhhTfddfhiCbmnMEipsYYpR5RTZcQaPs54bKTmXDI5TZVJIQM7UQ5Wm51lFUJsa6aNj5gFesJvl5oqUiZxgU1vkKx3eskywS5pA/w269-h400/Screenshot_2023-02-20-00-14-58-91_0b2fce7a16bf2b728d6ffa28c8d60efb.jpg" width="269" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />One of my favorite places to create is ending next month. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://bored.ai/" target="_blank">Bored.ai</a> the place where I discovered digital painting and learned to appreciate the craft. They're closing the discord server March 15th</span>. After spending the last year evolving with the system upgrades and running a community club...its a sad feeling for the journey to end. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The upper management stopped providing funds for the discord</span> but let the NFT project continue. Since the announcement several community members have put in bids to buy the server. It's a nice ideal but I'm not getting my hopes up. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Digital painting is a great way to expand your vocabulary while exercising the imagination</span> at the same time. Since learning "prompt engineering" (which is using descriptive words to generate an image.) I've found there are a lot of new AI digital painting companies. Lucky for me a fellow club leader opened his own server call the the <a href="https://discord.gg/s3jnS8q2" target="_blank">Alien Tech Club</a> where I practice using many of them.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQA1WaFBHibXIEUa7zR2TWXMk1u6YWtoQnRt1HWeFyaNptROqs_cwFVv0z5mQbQalYWiTDc5xZ-vBmeOeD4kkraEqFmKeJXVuAau74G7e8zgKy68oIofZ2FsAj6nmmeSnja0ocWtf2xDWvYIqJagZg3dXCbwfbS5oZ30N26fvcwRS5G7N-IgO_vTSFA/s1489/received_1164438540923552.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1489" data-original-width="1072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibQA1WaFBHibXIEUa7zR2TWXMk1u6YWtoQnRt1HWeFyaNptROqs_cwFVv0z5mQbQalYWiTDc5xZ-vBmeOeD4kkraEqFmKeJXVuAau74G7e8zgKy68oIofZ2FsAj6nmmeSnja0ocWtf2xDWvYIqJagZg3dXCbwfbS5oZ30N26fvcwRS5G7N-IgO_vTSFA/w288-h400/received_1164438540923552.jpeg" width="288" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />To be honest I haven't had a lot of time for painting, digitally or on canvas</span>.

It's the truth. Understand. I'm not disregarding the misappropriation of creditor assets, or the deceptive lies that were fed to us as the owners secretly withdrew there funds. What I am saying is <span style="color: #3d85c6;">the impetus of that debacle and the fall of several other companies listed above can be traced back to one specific competitor.</span> </span><p></p><p><span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTX_(company)" target="_blank"></a></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3zM-MlujEqofqBdF7stetuqNpwUUIkoYOEqU3HGlBIKBuDAbrVO1w5JfkVzbYlkn9E7aqqv75rdTwgxXok4QuHvqYgcaLz50J95xjhmnDMOS1tkuVNs8e7Em90kPfHxw5Y_OV1TCuNLl8B-w5VgyFL_MRN3yTq2ehlhZ9uT27wxEJWzxneuylM68YoA/s1362/Screenshot_2022-12-06-03-31-08-32_0b2fce7a16bf2b728d6ffa28c8d60efb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1362" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3zM-MlujEqofqBdF7stetuqNpwUUIkoYOEqU3HGlBIKBuDAbrVO1w5JfkVzbYlkn9E7aqqv75rdTwgxXok4QuHvqYgcaLz50J95xjhmnDMOS1tkuVNs8e7Em90kPfHxw5Y_OV1TCuNLl8B-w5VgyFL_MRN3yTq2ehlhZ9uT27wxEJWzxneuylM68YoA/w318-h400/Screenshot_2022-12-06-03-31-08-32_0b2fce7a16bf2b728d6ffa28c8d60efb.jpg" width="318" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />FTX exchange was owned by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bankman-Fried" target="_blank">SBF</a> (Sam Bankman-Fried).</span> In the crypto space he is considered a very bad man. His attempt to destroy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_finance" target="_blank">DeFi</a> and enforce institutionalized control over the crypto industry with government support backfired. FTX exchange was a subsidiary of Alameda Research group. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Through nefarious means those two companies are accused of industrial sabotage, fraud, theft</span> and a list of other felonies that would get a commoner like myself thrown under a prison. How did they do it? According to information that's been made public by companies who have been a victim of FTX coming forward. FTX would require that new companies working with them had to provide the backend coding to their crypto coin. Then SBF used sophisticated programming to make clones of their coins. After, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">FTX would take massive high leverage short futures trades, then dump the synthetic coins on the market.</span> This not only destroyed all their competitors, it also made SBF and his partners filthy rich. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnjQP0O20SqJLI8FH2jEeFodq-YsMIepPs0gBsdwIrVjgt7B0xpTNu36FjTVUq29e1T8TA22bj7cIHxyTM5ODbukJ3_cc-y87xPFVHhyHj6WgvElwU34f2VQuDNb-nrC_XbUJJj4aO6us_yEikdDeVBUxp5KiEOOEbi-OuxTScarpUqCqWVjRKw0_hVQ/s626/business-man-holding-bars-jail-concept-corruption-corrupt-politicians-illegal-businesses-brick-background_306105-312.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="417" data-original-width="626" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnjQP0O20SqJLI8FH2jEeFodq-YsMIepPs0gBsdwIrVjgt7B0xpTNu36FjTVUq29e1T8TA22bj7cIHxyTM5ODbukJ3_cc-y87xPFVHhyHj6WgvElwU34f2VQuDNb-nrC_XbUJJj4aO6us_yEikdDeVBUxp5KiEOOEbi-OuxTScarpUqCqWVjRKw0_hVQ/w400-h266/business-man-holding-bars-jail-concept-corruption-corrupt-politicians-illegal-businesses-brick-background_306105-312.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />If it wasn't for the fact that FTX burned half the crypto industry and stole money from so many people they might've gotten away with it. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I wont get to deep into the story because <a href="https://bitboycrypto.com/" target="_blank">BitBoy</a> has been giving thorough coverage of the whole situation.</span> In the latest development BitBoy traveled to the Bahamas (where SBF lives) and met with Bahamian politicians in attempt to get SBF arrested. Although he hasn't been arrested yet the DOJ (Department of Justice) has begun an investigation into FTX and Alameda. SBF and his family have serious connections in politics and media. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The chances of them doing time is slim at best.</span> In my opinion SBF will get off free and some low level minion is going to end up doing a few years in prison. Not to sound pessimistic, but the reality is for him to go to prison the DOJ would need incontrovertible proof that SBF is guilty. Even that may not be enough because money is power in politics. Meaning, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">if they can afford to pay the bill then there's no need for jail time.</span> </span><p></p><p><span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9Vv-G-nQPTfEoqH7kAzGCEQ67WirAe3zOdC2LpAENCWep7dHAHQvOl1NV3t8yGEBzvYxdKRpLeW3v8tqEEYnGn-_8iA3aLIzZ6fxHGKFb2gnsFqdL9klFljq-311NzAg5Nq3TK2GUYyrOzV6Qn8RflBPokdEeeL2gMu3bfH9Hz8_1w4mndiFVd6k4A/s1920/artur-machura-castle.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9Vv-G-nQPTfEoqH7kAzGCEQ67WirAe3zOdC2LpAENCWep7dHAHQvOl1NV3t8yGEBzvYxdKRpLeW3v8tqEEYnGn-_8iA3aLIzZ6fxHGKFb2gnsFqdL9klFljq-311NzAg5Nq3TK2GUYyrOzV6Qn8RflBPokdEeeL2gMu3bfH9Hz8_1w4mndiFVd6k4A/w400-h400/artur-machura-castle.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />Some people say this is a good thing for crypto.</span> That all these platforms are getting destroyed like a wrecking ball through a building. They consider it weeding out the bad apples. Others feel like these falling kingdoms are fuel for the media to portray crypto negatively to the mainstream. Here's my opinion. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Regardless of how bad the media talks about crypto. When the next halving comes in 2024 the narrative will switch.</span> (facts) The crypto industry has died a thousand times in media. It has more lives than a cat. To be honest this prolonged bear market has shown more mainstream adoption than any previous market cycle. All the innovation happens during the bear market. That's how I know the gains in <span style="color: #3d85c6;">the next bull market are going to be bonkers!</span> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06fqzRwFXmdbRL2RhtXkY0pwcf9jbkuRpcU1ebX64FxzIYx4GDvyaQcHEYXQEUEHx28Ezc3tzOA2O6fTzHs59nc3P1BkSdpjsFEYgrad5kdovjpkx5QDmjcHZwR9ebU6J5PKOfM2YBUgZ22oxa--y9VDUY0InufrlxdvRxBrcoMiGZCd0bwd8qisHcQ/s2000/Urkel-e1630510003466.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1385" data-original-width="2000" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06fqzRwFXmdbRL2RhtXkY0pwcf9jbkuRpcU1ebX64FxzIYx4GDvyaQcHEYXQEUEHx28Ezc3tzOA2O6fTzHs59nc3P1BkSdpjsFEYgrad5kdovjpkx5QDmjcHZwR9ebU6J5PKOfM2YBUgZ22oxa--y9VDUY0InufrlxdvRxBrcoMiGZCd0bwd8qisHcQ/w400-h278/Urkel-e1630510003466.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Now that we're talking about the next bull market let me give u my two cents. The bottom is not in. Again this is <span style="color: #3d85c6;">just my opinion. The bottom for me will not be in until eth falls below one thousand.</span> To be completely honest I believe it will fall below eight hundred. The eight hundred is speculative, but I'm certain of the one thousand. If I'm wrong and I miss the bottom. I'm okay with that. For me <span style="color: #3d85c6;">its always better to be a little late to the party than too early.</span> (not investment advice) When the price was at 17k people were saying the bottom is in. You had big brains with charts, pointing fingers at lines, detailing why the bottom was in at 17k. I was constantly hearing social media figures saying dca (dollar cost average) now. The bottom is in. You don't want to miss it. Then btc dropped to 15k...oops. That wasn't supposed to happen. People lost money. Those same big brains got back on social media sounding like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Urkel" target="_blank">Urkel</a> from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Matters" target="_blank">Family Matters</a>.

I have nothing against these people giving their analysis. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">When I look at the charts it also looks like the bottom could be in.</span> It's the right time, the market has been in the red for a prolonged period. Plus a 15k btc when the top was at 69k is a steal. Hey, it all adds up. Except when u look at the macro economics, <a href="https://coinflex.com/nl/education/what-is-tradfi/" target="_blank">Tradfi</a> (traditional finance), and geopolitical climate. It totally doesn't add up. I'm looking at how prolonged this bear market has been and how close we are to reaching that eighty-five percent drop. So far its been around seventy-five percent. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">It feels like there's going to be some fake out price pump short term relief rally coming. Then the real drop is going to happen.</span> I'm waiting for that drop. That drop would give the charts symmetry. They say history doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme. If that's the case <span style="color: #3d85c6;">eth will fall below a thousand one more time. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0H80-ZcF9MljLBsOxp3iCY6qGX80nzBqjhQ2ZoMpYTTsN6S96J0o1x9lGs1r8LbEHqg6ZcRHRH91r_AWwqq__CSv8u2qeJvTMG-YBb8gcZbToERXaBzSnN4fwqjMLWKIpKtEAPCesd57wrPzMo956SnkTGHX8tKa_7mfgDhxotVCo4oM9AG4rRLZ8Q/s640/ab67616d0000b273e342743f581a12ff58b52763.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0H80-ZcF9MljLBsOxp3iCY6qGX80nzBqjhQ2ZoMpYTTsN6S96J0o1x9lGs1r8LbEHqg6ZcRHRH91r_AWwqq__CSv8u2qeJvTMG-YBb8gcZbToERXaBzSnN4fwqjMLWKIpKtEAPCesd57wrPzMo956SnkTGHX8tKa_7mfgDhxotVCo4oM9AG4rRLZ8Q/w400-h400/ab67616d0000b273e342743f581a12ff58b52763.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Speaking of rhymes. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Hip-Hop community has lost some gifted and revered artists this year.</span> As a student of the culture watching the predatory practices happening to rappers is disturbing. I was a fan of all these brothas music and can say they will be truly missed. From the old school we lost <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Kay_Slay" target="_blank">DJ KaySlay</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolio" target="_blank">Coolio</a></span>. I remember hearing my first KaySlay mixtape "The StreetSweeper vol 1. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I knew then he was going to give <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Clue" target="_blank">DJ Clue</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Touch" target="_blank">Tony Touch</a> a run for their money.</span> He brought that fearless attitude he used to put into graff art, to the turntables. He was a dope dj who helped launch a lot of artists music careers. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Coolio was a west coast legend.</span> He is one of the few rappers who crossed over to mainstream and was able to maintain his stardom for a lengthy career. He passed from natural causes due to a heart attack. From the new school <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PnB_Rock" target="_blank">PnB Rock</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeoff_(rapper)" target="_blank">TakeOff</a> from the group <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migos" target="_blank">Migos</a>.</span> I liked both these guys tunes. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's a tragedy that they both were victims of gun violence.</span> These are young men in the height of their careers.

Scientists would combine these bioluminescent cells with plants to make glow in the dark plants. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The research was highly successful.</span> Now they have a second generation.<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> This new generation of <a href="https://news.mit.edu/2021/glowing-plants-nanoparticles-0917" target="_blank">bioluminescent plants</a> utilizes specialized nanoparticles embedded into the plants leaves.</span> These particles allow the plant to absorb light, store it, and slowly release it later. The new plants are charged by an led light for a few minutes. Then the length of glowing time and the amount of brightness generated is measured. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The goal is to have a world with plant based lighting.</span> The trees and bushes will use the sun for a charge. When the sunsets the plants will slowly release the charge and glow throughout the night. This will eliminate the need for street lights, reduce electrical costs and pollution. Of course using renewable energy from living plants is going to be met with radical opposition. But if enough traction gets behind this research <span style="color: #3d85c6;">it could bring society one step closer to running on green energy.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5sv1bYyKuD1D9tcztozGH9SlouG_y4UXCAK1HT3a2UJdjpveBxDrKFB0Vr6h0ylPlXYIxqcCZc_PvhDS-G0qXQ-KpItqrIpHMKOx2hveiwS0HH-SAciOUv9yqNrBuHDKSeRdzuUxnnYzrZybA4Xs9oBDTPxeX0l7fTAB611MGV0edaCuFcH4JonCIA/s1083/Screenshot_2022-12-06-04-23-37-98_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1083" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5sv1bYyKuD1D9tcztozGH9SlouG_y4UXCAK1HT3a2UJdjpveBxDrKFB0Vr6h0ylPlXYIxqcCZc_PvhDS-G0qXQ-KpItqrIpHMKOx2hveiwS0HH-SAciOUv9yqNrBuHDKSeRdzuUxnnYzrZybA4Xs9oBDTPxeX0l7fTAB611MGV0edaCuFcH4JonCIA/w399-h400/Screenshot_2022-12-06-04-23-37-98_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" width="399" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">While people have been dying and world events playing out like a poorly scripted <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python" target="_blank">Monty Python</a> film. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I've been painting, writing and making music.</span> Painting allows me to hyper-focus all my senses on what flavor can be created by blending colors.

What seemed like a million dollar invention that was going to benefit mankind, turned into a living nightmare. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">After media coverage of his invention Maxwell began receiving death threats. It wasn't to long after that he received financial threats. Finally he was poisoned.</span> This is the third attempt on his life. He's currently in the hospital and his condition is quite serious. The RF television was just one of many green energy inventions Maxwell and his company <a href="https://nehandaradio.com/2021/05/07/top-zim-innovator-chikumbutso-allegedly-poisoned-hospitalised/" target="_blank">Saith Technologies</a> were developing. His inventions threaten to disrupt the strangle hold on power that the titans of industry have had for ages. These conglomerates control the gas, oil, electric and solar energy sectors that we rely on every day. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The RF television would provide consumers independence from relying on fossil fuel energy.</span> It changes the status quo. It is an understatement to say Maxwell made a lot of powerful enemies. Disruptive technologies that threaten the power balance have to be snuffed out before the public starts paying attention. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aOnlhy5E7Q0" width="420" youtube-src-id="aOnlhy5E7Q0"></iframe></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">There's an unsavory pattern that's followed whenever someone presents inventions that could change the world.</span> </span><span>First, they try to buy it, confiscate it, or sabotage it. If that doesn't work, they begin attacking the invention itself. Usually to find some way of making it seem unsafe to society or functioning improperly. If that fails, they attack the inventors credibility and financial background. If the aforementioned methods aren't effective, the titans of industry utilize more diabolical measures. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">They assassinate the inventor. Then confiscate his research. That always solves the problem.</span> If you're thinking this is a conspiracy theory or baseless conjecture with nothing to substantiate my words. You would be wrong. There are many examples of green energy inventors who have died under very questionable circumstances. There are even more green energy inventions that have disappeared. But I'll only talk about one.<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Similar to Maxwell Chikumbutsos' RF television this invention was so innovative, it could've truly changed the planet.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a74uarqap2E" width="420" youtube-src-id="a74uarqap2E"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />I'm sure you're thinking about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla" target="_blank">Nicola Tesla</a>. The genius who tried to provide the world free energy with his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower" target="_blank">Wardeclyffe Tower</a>. Although he is a good example...I'm not talking about him. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Have u ever heard about the car that ran on water?</span> Not many people have. The first time I heard about this <span style="color: #3d85c6;">missing technology</span> was from the news in the 1990's. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">A garage inventor named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Meyer%27s_water_fuel_cell" target="_blank">Stanley Meyer</a> created a "water fuel cell" that allowed the vehicle to operate on water.</span> He successfully tested his invention many times and created videos with demonstrations. Before his untimely death in 1998 which everyone associated with the case said was due to poisoning (sound like a coincidence), <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Stanley was in talks with a major automotive company to produce a test model vehicle for manufacturing.</span> The Pentagon and alphabet agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA, only show interest in inventions when the tech already works.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GsMOFHPjZpo" width="420" youtube-src-id="GsMOFHPjZpo"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Just think about cars that ran on the most abundant resource on the globe. There's way more water than landmass. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">That invention would've ended fossil fuel dependency, reduced pollution and traffic, making the world a better place.</span> It conjures images of a utopian society with cities powered by green energy. Where they focused on spiritual and technological advancements instead of warfare. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Regardless of the disinformation published on Wikipedia about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-fuelled_car" target="_blank">water fueled cars</a>, they do not break the laws of thermodynamics.</span> The person who wrote that should be banned for stupidity and rejected from editing any future wiki articles. The first water car was invented in 1935. Since then, the invention has been successfully recreated by numerous inventors only to end in ruination. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">To claim all these brilliant creators, inventors, engineers, and mechanics are frauds is preposterous.</span> The question was never, could a water fueled car be made. The question has always been. Which company can successfully bring a production model of a water car to the consumer market?</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih2EdOntChOrjodlesuo0ZZNp9yaWVPx_n-O55ZeDFOaq-qU5qrGrM_vzah34Ollu4oN8cRNWYAR1icYwGhOQ68hQSQOoCh8gihjJ3SWSEjkeUFb5O5pll9UuJ5hJ1HAvKwCeqGj0fOSCjEvacNZj_Qb07fqjHmP05yG1maOkXRxMgWHi2kY5PTwwnbA/s612/istockphoto-1427919294-612x612.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="612" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih2EdOntChOrjodlesuo0ZZNp9yaWVPx_n-O55ZeDFOaq-qU5qrGrM_vzah34Ollu4oN8cRNWYAR1icYwGhOQ68hQSQOoCh8gihjJ3SWSEjkeUFb5O5pll9UuJ5hJ1HAvKwCeqGj0fOSCjEvacNZj_Qb07fqjHmP05yG1maOkXRxMgWHi2kY5PTwwnbA/w400-h283/istockphoto-1427919294-612x612.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />Don't be one of the sheeple believing cars can't run on water.</span> Wikipedia is written by the public so articles u read there aren't always fact. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Do your own research. That's where the truth is hidden.</span> The RF television, water fueled car, and Wardeclyffe Tower are just a few from thousands of missing technologies that could radically alter the planet. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Maxwell Chikumbutso is another victim of an oppressive regime that keeps us dependent on energy sources that further pollute the earth.</span> Rather than allow free energy and technological innovations be created that would improve everyone's life. To me this isn't about money its about control. My heart goes out to him and all the unknown backyard inventors whose creations have been stolen or lost to the sands of time. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Hopefully Maxwell survives his ordeal and continues fighting to bring green energy technologies to the world.</span> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2b2vz7-hOjRZNw9_6faYyz2WDVB_JVHxJEFFSWKQcweQQAt-tbyIoiMM7-0ZArV75b3R4v7NYa9rv0prN46fQQznrOvkdQ72k9tWVYx3CNPZwXbUSIKljURKXSVM3o24_L2Ph7FxyhuHgPEH5M2VU03cBMNEeShm6X2Zm7uRxGm_nsw4Rht_zg423w/s976/flying%20car.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2b2vz7-hOjRZNw9_6faYyz2WDVB_JVHxJEFFSWKQcweQQAt-tbyIoiMM7-0ZArV75b3R4v7NYa9rv0prN46fQQznrOvkdQ72k9tWVYx3CNPZwXbUSIKljURKXSVM3o24_L2Ph7FxyhuHgPEH5M2VU03cBMNEeShm6X2Zm7uRxGm_nsw4Rht_zg423w/w400-h225/flying%20car.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />If u think cars running on water sounds crazy. What about flying cars? Yes. You read that correctly..."flying cars." <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The flying car dream has been around for decades.</span> The first time I saw it was in the cartoon <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jetsons" target="_blank">The Jetson's</a>. We've had the technology to create personal flying machines since the 1980's. There have been numerous inventors of flying cars over the years yet <span style="color: #3d85c6;">we're still driving on the pavement. Why?</span> There are more UFO reports submitted every year. Plus with cell phone camera's people can show evidence of their experience. All these sightings happen while we're on the ground. If people were using skyways traveling through the air in high numbers. The amount of UFO sightings and video footage would increase exponentially. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">It becomes difficult for governments to say there's nothing unusual in the sky. When you're chasing it in a flying car while trying to get a picture for Instagram.</span> Flying cars would make a UFO cover-up impossible. So no flying cars. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeA3f2hQF0GsN3cQgMpdR11zT9HjaNHm14G8cja6rrmgXQ7jWYY-yLG16NPZWOe0R2V6JQoKIzS3yNryk2mr1kLy9atba8NibVMTCMeoXoyn70dHpp00DNOgbkjz1vf9euARtAeOBY8l8RdIGFtJXry9DNXSOBMLVQ9GIndfGZb5r9aRSe6TiGqcADQw/s1200/XJ6mcghpaoUkBfH4cJcpNf-1200-80.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeA3f2hQF0GsN3cQgMpdR11zT9HjaNHm14G8cja6rrmgXQ7jWYY-yLG16NPZWOe0R2V6JQoKIzS3yNryk2mr1kLy9atba8NibVMTCMeoXoyn70dHpp00DNOgbkjz1vf9euARtAeOBY8l8RdIGFtJXry9DNXSOBMLVQ9GIndfGZb5r9aRSe6TiGqcADQw/w400-h225/XJ6mcghpaoUkBfH4cJcpNf-1200-80.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I'm not talking about wormhole technology, time machines, or some impossible science. We're talking about flying cars and cars that run on water. Difficult perhaps, but not impossible. Just so we're clear. In my opinion <span style="color: #3d85c6;">there is no impossible science. You only have to find the right mind (or group) and apply them to the problem to achieve a solution.</span> This is missing technology that has already been invented but never implemented. By discussing the subject it spreads awareness about these inventions. Which will hopefully increase the survival rate of their inventors. And help these life improving creations finally be released to the public. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Until Next We Speak, Be Well</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Tha One an Only </span></p>Tha One an Onlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08482724507909868864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467814975552931548.post-43537895813600674822022-10-15T08:14:00.038-07:002022-10-17T11:38:58.933-07:00World News<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgetOPq9w-dy2eUXzS6ueELmNNDPvbHdCluMrJ9wZVQgoKo5nM5TkDJaDl-ihxZpBc_PAlgkTZ8qW43gqhnV_QZvLE4ZjjYsb0-xbkEReVDsn7xDQuEljRtJIi8B6w8_0ROnf7FeHw21TGjTnYBhmj6uj2KSL0W6XVGJW-hCSjl3Wrsh71V1ABQBk4PiA/s1080/Screenshot_2022-10-15-16-05-48-20_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="458" data-original-width="1080" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgetOPq9w-dy2eUXzS6ueELmNNDPvbHdCluMrJ9wZVQgoKo5nM5TkDJaDl-ihxZpBc_PAlgkTZ8qW43gqhnV_QZvLE4ZjjYsb0-xbkEReVDsn7xDQuEljRtJIi8B6w8_0ROnf7FeHw21TGjTnYBhmj6uj2KSL0W6XVGJW-hCSjl3Wrsh71V1ABQBk4PiA/w400-h170/Screenshot_2022-10-15-16-05-48-20_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><p><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></i></p>"In this world there are dark creatures, shadow dwellers, predators that hunt in the night.

The habitable zone is where a planet potentially fills the conditions to support life on earth. It has to be close enough to its sun to have land mass, oceans and oxygen. Yet far enough away that it doesn't cook us. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Trappist 1 system is located in constellation <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_(constellation)" target="_blank">Aquarius</a> 40 light years away.</span> This star system was first observed in 2017 by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble_Space_Telescope" target="_blank">Hubble</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_space_telescope" target="_blank">Kepler</a> and other telescopes. There are a total of seven <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet" target="_blank">exoplanets</a> in this red dwarf star system. Trappist 1e, 1f, and 1g are all in the habitable zone. It</span>'s 1e that has researchers excited. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">In 2022 the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope" target="_blank">JWST</a> (James Webb Space Telescope) observed Trappist 1e for several hours. Once all the data is deciphered astronomer's will know whether or not the exoplanet has an earth like environment.</span> Since this is an older star system life forms there could be millions of year more advanced than earth. While we are looking at them through our big lens. They could have a bigger one looking back at us. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pEsoCpLYfw0" width="420" youtube-src-id="pEsoCpLYfw0"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">In the field of alternative energy a Dutch company named <a href="https://flowerturbines.com/" target="_blank">Flower Turbines</a> has created a tulip shaped wind turbine.</span> These turbines are on a vertical axis and designed to collect wind from any direction. When flower turbines are grouped together they drive wind into one another which results in a fifty percent increase in energy output. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The turbines unique design helps them function at very low wind speeds, only generate sound from the wind, and makes them safe for birds.</span> This technological advancement in renewable energy comes in a range of sizes and colors which makes them idea for a household or off the grid backpacker. The creators tried to combine beauty, art and functionality. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Just one full sized turbine can reduce the energy costs of a household by one third.</span> This could be helpful for people in low income environments with less access to electricity. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p_4k6E70taQ" width="420" youtube-src-id="p_4k6E70taQ"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">As the <a href="https://celsius.network/" target="_blank">Celsius</a> bankruptcy battle unravels in court the story has more twist and turns than a spy novel.</span> There are many facts that were revealed by the courts that the owners lied about. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">One of the most shocking developments in the case was the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing" target="_blank">doxing</a> of all users of the Celsius platform. </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing" target="_blank">Doxing</a> is the release of company information to the public. That means all the creditors who were part of Celsius when they went bankrupt had their account information released to the public. As surprising and damaging to privacy as that was, some aspects were not a bad thing. The reason why is, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">once the information was made public we (the creditors) found out that at least twenty percent of the people ranting about Celsius on social media don't have money on the app.</span> Some don't even hold <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius_Network" target="_blank">Cel</a> token. There are people who just like drama and are involved to spread dissent in the community. I left five figures in the Celsius app and I invested another five figures through <a href="https://bnktothefuture.com/" target="_blank">bnktothefuture</a> buying equity in Celsius company. That means <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I have skin in the game and the right to speak on the situation. </span>If u don't have crypto on the Cel app, or in Celsius custody, u are not part of the conversation. Therefore u need to sit down, watch the news, have an ice cream, and shut the f**k-up! Nobody is interested in your opinion. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZHrhYKHCHsavtzK8b9kSvJpoVLJTlfdJ-Fbnyp04BCsItJijumlJMKx7ntYBfBuDu7Yeh0OV5KgsQY9pBrp5fUykWemazul_r6m6osWxw1mzo-j1ZJquGtKJoz-hyk9hrTwE_d5T1Ksax7vKE0Ap7__JXy7-twbDtJ-keKGSelju7JMbUPl0Hwu0zsQ/s1080/Screenshot_2022-10-15-15-47-31-18_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="1080" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZHrhYKHCHsavtzK8b9kSvJpoVLJTlfdJ-Fbnyp04BCsItJijumlJMKx7ntYBfBuDu7Yeh0OV5KgsQY9pBrp5fUykWemazul_r6m6osWxw1mzo-j1ZJquGtKJoz-hyk9hrTwE_d5T1Ksax7vKE0Ap7__JXy7-twbDtJ-keKGSelju7JMbUPl0Hwu0zsQ/w400-h198/Screenshot_2022-10-15-15-47-31-18_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Here are the facts that were released to the public. </span>While Alex was telling everyone to trust Celsius things were going to be fine.

There is a group of individuals involved in the case trying to make sure that outcome doesn't happen. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">One of the people at the forefront of the fight is co-founder of</span> <a href="https://bnktothefuture.com/" target="_blank">bnktothefuture</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/simondixontwitt" target="_blank">Simon Dixon</a>. I've always had respect for Simon for what he's accomplished in the crypto space. That's one of the reasons I've been a member of bnktothefuture for so long and why I invested into Celsius through his platform. At first I was critical of Simons intentions because he was saying a lot of things that, at the time couldn't be corroborated. Also there were rumors that he was a vulture and wanted to buy the company assets for pennies on the dollar. No one knew what to believe. Fast forward three months and the truth is revealed. Everything Simon said would happen with the company did. He was right. Also, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Simon is a creditor like the rest of us with funds trapped on the Celsius platform. He has compiled a seven part video series discussing his proposal for a Celsius recovery.</span> His plan is gaining traction from the community but it will be some time before we find out if it can be implemented. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Understand that I am in no way indorsing or opposing his plan.</span> I'm only sharing public information that u may not be aware of.

All these events are possible, but there's only one thing that's a fact. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">No matter how much capital u lost on Celsius, it's not worth your life. </span><span>P</span>eople say Celsius caused more suicides than <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown" target="_blank">Jonestown</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_(blockchain)" target="_blank">Terra Luna</a> combined. Don't throw your life away because of money. You can earn money back...but u only get one life to live. Savor it. Also remember <span style="color: #3d85c6;">life can be like the bitcoin price.

Because of that situation I'm more cautious with everything I write.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-jIDaPIKO6I_jdDgKBGODS6uIZWOkTVs4QkFbaB86VEOys2MeFB5KWZr1mYTafBaHbuQWw-ylHlxUp_uuHBeolN8Bu1ozAGmeKk447VKlSQCAzgwt9EEsDL4rO8du9lmT6pDYIdfQkmOdCqLZbej1LvXOTOMDk67Mx6d4QLPJ_ifKpjk_-PYQKMbsQ/s1080/Screenshot_2022-09-16-04-40-35-55_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1070" data-original-width="1080" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-jIDaPIKO6I_jdDgKBGODS6uIZWOkTVs4QkFbaB86VEOys2MeFB5KWZr1mYTafBaHbuQWw-ylHlxUp_uuHBeolN8Bu1ozAGmeKk447VKlSQCAzgwt9EEsDL4rO8du9lmT6pDYIdfQkmOdCqLZbej1LvXOTOMDk67Mx6d4QLPJ_ifKpjk_-PYQKMbsQ/w400-h396/Screenshot_2022-09-16-04-40-35-55_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">To keep the stress compartmentalized I've been creating art.</span> Although I've enjoyed developing my digital painting skills at <a href="http://Bored.ai">Bored.ai</a>, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">its not the same as canvas.</span> The biggest difference is when I paint on canvas (or draw on paper) I can taste the colors.

Now that my money is trapped and inaccessible I've permanently lost faith in <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-cefi" target="_blank">CeFi</a> platforms. If you're unfamiliar with the term <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-cefi" target="_blank">CeFi</a> (Centralized Finance) means a centralized entity maintains custody of your assets.</span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_finance" target="_blank">DeFi</a> (Decentralized Finance) means u maintain complete ownership and self sovereignty of your assets. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">This situation epitomizes the classic euphemism.

If Binance is having problems no place is safe. The effect it had on the already panicked market was like throwing gasoline on a blazing inferno. Trust is low and fear is high. Not just high like a skyscraper or smoking to much weed high.

Since they don't have your crypto when u want to withdrawal sometimes it can take a few hours depending on market conditions.

The more Cel u hold the higher the yield. </span>This isn't really a flaw because Cel has great tokenomics. Not to get too nerdy, but the <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Cel token is deflationary</span>. That means there is a finite amount of tokens (like Bitcoin). As they burn the tokens less are in circulation which makes the value keep rising over time.

I'm going to keep it one hundred. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">There's a very real possibility that btc could fall back down to 32K and retest the bottom.</span> That news may shock a lot of u and make a few people want to try flying off the top floor without a parachute. Don't do that...it's messy. Also there's no need to panic. If it does drop that will be the buy signal to d.c.a. (dollar cost average) into btc and eth to accumulate more. The reason I say this is because <span style="color: #3d85c6;">a retest would finish the micro (W) formation. That would set us up to finish the right side of the macro (W) we're in. </span><span>Lets be clear. This is just my opinion based off what I see in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichimoku_Kink%C5%8D_Hy%C5%8D" target="_blank">Ichimoku Cloud</a>. I'm not <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus" target="_blank">Nostradamus</a> and can't predict the future. If I was...my level of wealth would surpass the richest man who ever lived.

Both are possible but option one seems most likely. Now <span style="color: #3d85c6;">there is the third option that wasn't mentioned.

It's the tale about the king of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruk" target="_blank">Uruk</a> who went on a quest to become immortal. The story goes back to 2100BC. The funny thing about Gilgamesh is that he gets advice from an immortal being on why he can't become immortal. The underlying message in the story isn't that all humans die, which is what most people say. What I got from it is that Gilgameshs' punishment was dying. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The technology used by the beings he called gods which made them immortal could've been used on him.</span> The reason they weren't sharing it is because, he terrorized the villagers and destroyed a bunch of stuff. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglUrZTSw4LRMlhoU9LeMH-hZCh9a2Zl3mwN4cpLNsuz_d-gbmoAtF6c1dXdzEwGzklwyHk08-gXrcL8cyNrOW3SB1UxRQvm7cHJUrYqbvZ6q6mZS2ziqFebA2M2fbhJKkRrRergKLwoIKaqij_uGKWfr9wq61vj_-BGLCWK5ljsO24GfVsvGeybB-RdA=s639" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="406" data-original-width="639" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglUrZTSw4LRMlhoU9LeMH-hZCh9a2Zl3mwN4cpLNsuz_d-gbmoAtF6c1dXdzEwGzklwyHk08-gXrcL8cyNrOW3SB1UxRQvm7cHJUrYqbvZ6q6mZS2ziqFebA2M2fbhJKkRrRergKLwoIKaqij_uGKWfr9wq61vj_-BGLCWK5ljsO24GfVsvGeybB-RdA=w400-h254" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List" target="_blank">Sumerian Kings list</a> has the names of rulers of ancient Mesopotamia who lived long lives. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Some of the rulers in the list lived thousands of years.</span> This seemed like science fiction to historians in the past, but <span style="color: #3d85c6;">as our technology advances the question of "can we live forever," is becoming a reality.</span> Research into the subject over the millennia has ended in rumors, legends, deaths and mysteries.

I present to you <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii" target="_blank">Turritopsis dohrnii</a>, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">more commonly known as the immortal jellyfish.</span> This incredible creature cheats death by reverting back to a juvenile state once it grows old.

Right now I'm sure you're thinking... No way a creature exists that can live forever. You would be incorrect. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Aside from dying by predation or some other external means the immortal jellyfish could theoretically live forever.</span> Research into their genetics and if the secret of their cells can be applied to primates is still ongoing. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEStD0yomULb-Ykrqd0AfzPWVNJtUTUIq_J-InTjKcO0bNJjfkFYPbrboAkUzJuI3X43__qJ3o1UGu8MSfZU0OB1LRTva5lflQYCsVl_NAe5lne2TEf8mTlYeZ5k1pRHWy0JJHImiGjAU0W2KfaN5yvN2CM3YBh-YORxNTnLoH58wz56nT6trK6SG0JA=s1280" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="955" data-original-width="1280" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEStD0yomULb-Ykrqd0AfzPWVNJtUTUIq_J-InTjKcO0bNJjfkFYPbrboAkUzJuI3X43__qJ3o1UGu8MSfZU0OB1LRTva5lflQYCsVl_NAe5lne2TEf8mTlYeZ5k1pRHWy0JJHImiGjAU0W2KfaN5yvN2CM3YBh-YORxNTnLoH58wz56nT6trK6SG0JA=w400-h299" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />The whole concept of mortality came up in conversation when I was talking to my dead cousin. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I had recently heard about this machine called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integratron" target="_blank">Integratron</a> which was designed to make humans immortal.</span> The machine was created by a ufologist named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Van_Tassel" target="_blank">George Van Tassel</a>. His story is quite interesting because <span style="color: #3d85c6;">he got the schematics and design for the machine from extraterrestrial sources.</span> They gave him the knowledge on how to build the device because they felt that human lives were too short. For mankind to reach higher states of consciousness we needed to live longer. Aside from the unique properties of the structure which was constructed entirely of wood using no metal or nails. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">It was built in a location that maximized the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectricity" target="_blank">Piezoelectricity</a> from the earth around it.</span> Unfortunately George died when the project was ninety percent complete.

This place had levels like a mall with escalators that looked like they reached the sky lights on the ceiling.

My mind was distracted by the size of the store. As I was formulating the question of what store location we were in. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Andy asked me "What's the use of making a lot of money if you don't live long enough to spend it?"</span> I said, "leave it to your wife, family or kids." We laughed as we made our way to the men's clothing. Andy was looking for jeans to go to a birthday party for a friend. Along the way <span style="color: #3d85c6;">he told me the story of a guy in New York who won a million dollars on a scratch ticket. Then he died of cancer one week later.</span> After Andy finished we both agreed that "health is wealth." </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjCNUHzTLArnTRdXJ4P41RBtdB7VL2h5tAqRd71gwxnGVTNhanEDObLah1u9jYZj1GVSMMITmyAApssLmr99LFpRSwOWSYpTB97WZFJcHmtDmLnyAItjyYU9o0A6gqto7JFhlvPDdJ-IUHavXjZSGBFfc56ZTDLmvsE5oNFfSnBjO_sYOaGaigvAOxuBw=s1000" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="965" data-original-width="1000" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjCNUHzTLArnTRdXJ4P41RBtdB7VL2h5tAqRd71gwxnGVTNhanEDObLah1u9jYZj1GVSMMITmyAApssLmr99LFpRSwOWSYpTB97WZFJcHmtDmLnyAItjyYU9o0A6gqto7JFhlvPDdJ-IUHavXjZSGBFfc56ZTDLmvsE5oNFfSnBjO_sYOaGaigvAOxuBw=w400-h386" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Our conversation continued for what felt like hours. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">We chatted about growing up in the projects and how different things were as adults.</span> After Andy had picked out a few pairs of jeans we started making our way to the checkout register. Outside the store window I could see snow on the ground. Andy's voice had become white noise in the background. Above the window was a black and white <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_watch" target="_blank">analog</a> clock. At first glance the hands read three o' clock. After looking at the snow for a moment trying to gauge how deep it was from how high it was against the car tires. I looked again at the clock and it read seven forty. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">My legs moved on autopilot walking beside Andy as my mind tried processing what happened to the time.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeZ4vaPbDHiRiGQ5nU6v6Pw9mSR9UbwTtMhLdoDAwWm4it7bOKjCzlo7A6RMoi-ZY5-vlP0Enu-nmOrOBN7Zl2ro22OP70VwnJ9GOWkw_w4Zoq0wBGla4GjK6QrFYjFFM4jIxDrytQdNE-LbR_5CY_BGbj5yUvNny73F4gbHFGdelhII3KF1yYqJQETQ=s2048" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjeZ4vaPbDHiRiGQ5nU6v6Pw9mSR9UbwTtMhLdoDAwWm4it7bOKjCzlo7A6RMoi-ZY5-vlP0Enu-nmOrOBN7Zl2ro22OP70VwnJ9GOWkw_w4Zoq0wBGla4GjK6QrFYjFFM4jIxDrytQdNE-LbR_5CY_BGbj5yUvNny73F4gbHFGdelhII3KF1yYqJQETQ=w400-h266" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Before my brain could form the right question, Andy's voice commanded my attention. It was like he was speaking through a megaphone. I focused on his face and noticed we had stopped walking. He asked if I was alright. I mumbled something about being distracted while noticing we were in a different part of the store. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">I was lost.</span> Behind us was a wall sized window. Outside the parking lot was full of cars and shoppers hastily trying to escape the cold. Andy gazed outside at the snow and said "New Year is right around the corner. I got big plans for next year. What u got going on cuz?" I also looked out the window while he asked the question. As I pondered how to explain venture capitalism and crypto to my little cousin. An alarm bell went off inside my head. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">There was something wrong with this place.</span> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJZeyuopk3_tWS9vb5onfW1Eggk10vrER_kBuXWaF5Fpa6vJDoFDsE_4Opro2cuhNVKQhAvozwPTkNFS8BIEU-ry2Lr6VMlzAjKSAwiE_4ZI5rA3AqwLai7DAYgLY1EiCGX618q8OgX-rLSBbpYxls5SFS3g_RJfPOpFIJvFSEuj6UbD7JXmQ706aOrg=s750" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="750" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJZeyuopk3_tWS9vb5onfW1Eggk10vrER_kBuXWaF5Fpa6vJDoFDsE_4Opro2cuhNVKQhAvozwPTkNFS8BIEU-ry2Lr6VMlzAjKSAwiE_4ZI5rA3AqwLai7DAYgLY1EiCGX618q8OgX-rLSBbpYxls5SFS3g_RJfPOpFIJvFSEuj6UbD7JXmQ706aOrg=w400-h198" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />We walked for a long time but were no closer to the registers. There was snow outside and we were supposed to be in South Carolina? How am I in South Carolina? I fell asleep in bed. Did it snow in Holland? Is Andy in Europe? Where are we shopping? <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Then it struck me like a bolt of lightening. I was in a dream.</span> I turned and looked at the side profile of Andys' face. He remained staring out the window at the ankle deep snow. My thoughts were racing like a hamster on a wheel trying to figure out how to articulate the words. Finally I just blurted out, "Cuzo you're dead."

This practice goes back thousands of years. According to the local Tibetans the knowledge was given to them by extraterrestrials. I watched the episode of <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13486082/" target="_blank">Ancient Aliens</a> (I love that show.

While others seem to require a transcendence to a spiritual self. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Don't get it twisted I plan on living a very long life.</span> I workout and eat fairly healthy to ensure I live long enough to reach enlightenment. Still. The ideal of being stuck in a meat suit for all eternity and never allowed to explore other dimensions would be a punishment. If I were given the option to take an elixir of eternal life. Or use the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integratron" target="_blank">Integratron</a> immortality machine when they get it working. There's no question that they have the schematics and materials. Whose to say that it already isn't being rebuilt and tested in a hidden location. Some rich people with enough money, power, and influence want to live forever. Those same people are spending fortunes to make that desire a reality. I wouldn't want to be immortal. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">To me death is not the end. It's the answer to another unsolved mystery.</span> One that allows me to get closer to the source.

Now there's a travel ban for the world to and from there. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">With each new variant there seems to be racially charged rhetoric accusing a specific group.</span> On top of all this there's a global division between those who have taken the vaccine and those who chose to stay unvaccinated. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8dwvXTo9hn4Wm34oPlq9XP-dRauNY7MYioj67EiPX7VGLbbwmCiWFGBwlidY515tmSdPoNOb_4zrHH_mLDZMKSWoa1otCsshkiOklpPnH-DOQWaQC4QDlLPgkMrVBRvoEE-qcA6I4u-F/s800/tesla.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="800" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8dwvXTo9hn4Wm34oPlq9XP-dRauNY7MYioj67EiPX7VGLbbwmCiWFGBwlidY515tmSdPoNOb_4zrHH_mLDZMKSWoa1otCsshkiOklpPnH-DOQWaQC4QDlLPgkMrVBRvoEE-qcA6I4u-F/w400-h250/tesla.jpeg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />If you're wondering if I'm a conspiracy theorist.

Not ignorance. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism" target="_blank">Racism</a>. There's a difference.</span> When I was in Marine bootcamp. I met a guy who had never seen a black person in real life. He told me that he heard from his grandmother that black skin washed off in the shower. He was curious about us and asked questions. Some of them were ignorant. Later we became friends. The guy who called me a "dirty ni**er," outside a bar in Alabama. He was racist. The difference is the intent behind the interaction. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">If someone is asking questions (even if they're ignorant) to learn more about a group or culture, that's positive intent.

Based on the current track record I'm not getting my hopes up. Even if society doesn't get right, you the reader can. If u read this blog that means two things. One, how u think probably pushes the boundaries on what is accepted as "normal". Two, science, technology, art, literature, and other information about the world are of interest to you.

Most scientists I know have very little understanding of the soul. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's such an ambiguous subject that it always brings philosophy, mysticism and religion into the conversation.</span> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9xJsDtNoiyUgHCtkTCjCYSkCiqbzZBlsgEpzmrpZXcNNmNce-UyGU9VX7duXKmoA26e6G8-rBb-AnfmTR_xWOuzPzmz1VOaJQBYLYD_gM_J2DHPiyOzMG74Wu7s9e8zhFReMvGVxr4vE/s300/girl+bot.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk9xJsDtNoiyUgHCtkTCjCYSkCiqbzZBlsgEpzmrpZXcNNmNce-UyGU9VX7duXKmoA26e6G8-rBb-AnfmTR_xWOuzPzmz1VOaJQBYLYD_gM_J2DHPiyOzMG74Wu7s9e8zhFReMvGVxr4vE/w400-h224/girl+bot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">What we do know with certainty is that the soul isn't retained only in the mind. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Your consciousness is encoded into every cell in your body.</span><span> A strange phenomenon that is rarely discussed happens to some organ donor recipients.

I didn't want to be there. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">An acquaintance asked me to come so he could get some crypto advice.</span> I found this proposal interesting because <span style="color: #3d85c6;">this same person had told me back in 2019 that crypto was a bubble and a waste of money.</span> He was heavy into the equities market (stocks and bonds) and didn't consider crypto a real asset class.

After greeting John and getting introduced to a bunch of faces with names I didn't bother to remember, I grabbed a drink at the bar. I asked for a vodka with apple juice and that's what the bartender said he gave me. John appeared at the bar beside me and began talking about his life. I tried to pay attention to his words but since I had no emotional connection to them my mind began to drift. In between <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Johns' sob story on how the stock market may crash and worries about having to move back to Seattle</span> I caught bits of other conversations. There were several people discussing whether it was acceptable to wear socks with sandals. A man and woman sitting at the bar to my left were chatting about feeding their cat chocolate. People behind John and I were arguing over if <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_subculture" target="_blank">Punk</a> was dead or not. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTm-0RzmiVjrNRn4rGLwfFf8qLwSccWwCulq_Vn8Sb9eUN_WP0gN2zJHrykVr6NQVgfFWAdAZ4R1R9NyYAMIOS0UjtlLQ1zYFwjDr0c2VRBnaHhcntDeBsKXuPjtPHbM0RHiqf_iJrhyI/s1600/group-laughing-people-15280897.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1600" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTm-0RzmiVjrNRn4rGLwfFf8qLwSccWwCulq_Vn8Sb9eUN_WP0gN2zJHrykVr6NQVgfFWAdAZ4R1R9NyYAMIOS0UjtlLQ1zYFwjDr0c2VRBnaHhcntDeBsKXuPjtPHbM0RHiqf_iJrhyI/w400-h168/group-laughing-people-15280897.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I finished my vodka apple juice and felt no effect. John finished his story and had a perplexed look on his face. I realized that a response was necessary but I hadn't been listening so was unaware of any question. My mind had been occupied wondering if the bartender had given me apple juice with no vodka. Everyone around me seemed like babbling village idiots. Perhaps my alcohol was defective. John said, "So can u do it?" Instead of asking him what "It" was? I said what I was thinking. "I think my alcohol is defective. This happened to me once when I was in South America. I need to talk to the bartender." John seemed confused then he laughed. I didn't. At that moment three other guys came over and blended into our discussion. Luck was on my side because John filled in the conversation gaps. </span><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fByGY4ACf6pU4bREkWaGbLdeoRCK7n4YqXzXZ_5jIWmH9LTOYGBm1p6Qey2umeQ0x0jmpoAZ5ro_LgNtXANXPnY2O4q7Y6Z_MBriENOHJoHnQqegxNBhegAHotuoNlGprU2iKp_0zYr9/s1200/comet.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fByGY4ACf6pU4bREkWaGbLdeoRCK7n4YqXzXZ_5jIWmH9LTOYGBm1p6Qey2umeQ0x0jmpoAZ5ro_LgNtXANXPnY2O4q7Y6Z_MBriENOHJoHnQqegxNBhegAHotuoNlGprU2iKp_0zYr9/w400-h266/comet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>By the way, don't worry if the people I'm writing about will be offended.

That was a quote from one of the guys.

They were semi-drunk so some of their questions became long stories about how the pandemic changed their lives.<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> I gave them a brief summary on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_finance" target="_blank">DeFi</a> and some of my wins and losses in the space.</span> After answering some crypto questions I excuse myself and went to the end of the bar by the entrance to speak to the bartender. Right after I gestured for the bartender to come over John appeared beside me. Alcohol makes people emotional. His eyes were glossy like he was on the verge of tears. He apologized for comments he had made about me losing money in crypto. Then he went on to say he understands if the reason I didn't say yes to his question is because I was still upset. What he was describing is petty revenge. </span><p></p><p><span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUSa-DdenivFco3JajransIqLaG8wKxmd6m1mvlJEB-Hz9oxqh6eD-duq5TJm3UcnUQIrhex0bPs9kPOfqcQ8Q68JsHnTwX7X1DeE2Eqwhi4KU7qKZ22LtW23yPCCBw8tqIEmwBPQIk-I/s780/grudge.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="780" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWUSa-DdenivFco3JajransIqLaG8wKxmd6m1mvlJEB-Hz9oxqh6eD-duq5TJm3UcnUQIrhex0bPs9kPOfqcQ8Q68JsHnTwX7X1DeE2Eqwhi4KU7qKZ22LtW23yPCCBw8tqIEmwBPQIk-I/w400-h225/grudge.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Lets take a moment to discuss revenge.</span> For me there are different types of revenge. First, there's the vengeful type of revenge. Second,<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> there's the improve yourself and let your success destroy your enemies ego type of revenge.</span> Last, is <span style="color: #3d85c6;">petty revenge, or commonly known as a</span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grudge" target="_blank">grudge</a>. This type never involves physical confrontation. Petty revenge is where u are in a position to help someone who wronged u in the past. You refuse to do it to get back at the person. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">For all types of revenge emotional attachment to that moment or experience is the driving force</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">behind your actions.</span> I feel nothing. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQcg6NVTM2jb0AgSEs-GTgwu26PO7JCuFlc6C_pjlGWeU7cFNdIlpOp_Ozq1nG5VLXkfETBBCoDEKoTdAPjzcmaDx9LlzAU0jEpHI_LZrlv9p34wjJo7bfOQJHOcs4N7NC9YtF3KQJs4VE/s1440/DyDx-1.jpg.webp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1440" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQcg6NVTM2jb0AgSEs-GTgwu26PO7JCuFlc6C_pjlGWeU7cFNdIlpOp_Ozq1nG5VLXkfETBBCoDEKoTdAPjzcmaDx9LlzAU0jEpHI_LZrlv9p34wjJo7bfOQJHOcs4N7NC9YtF3KQJs4VE/w400-h240/DyDx-1.jpg.webp" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The truth was I hadn't heard his question. My attention was focused on getting to the bottom of the vodka mystery. After his emotional display and my cold response John asked what was up. I seemed really relaxed for a guy who had recently taken a loss. I seemed calmer than normal. I could've told him that by changing my leverage trading strategy to 3x for <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/financials/cryptocurrency-stocks/altcoin/" target="_blank">Alts</a>, plus a generous <a href="https://trade.dydx.exchange/portfolio/overview" target="_blank">DyDx</a> airdrop, I recouped everything I've lost over the last two years. Instead I just said, "I got it back." Then he asked if I was still trading? I told him, "<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I'll never stop trading.</span>" While we were talking people kept coming over and interjecting tidbits into the conversation. Another of John's friends had been standing by and said, "If u won everything back u should be celebrating. Why do u look so serious?" I replied, "I lost my emotional attachment to things." They all laughed. I didn't. Some more words were exchanged which disappeared from my brain like smoke in the wind. My concentration was on getting the bartender. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoCu8XhpFsoLn2QdJsEZ_ZQ7goU4tNRWua0mVtidstdUMuapRLLdDEUwV6KI4hqFZuK7dKd23HwLjpglv8W88ucxDUyQpxvNh1Ebeq9IW90Z8xbhWfzp6pRFI7P48_rqkaI2nCE2zxMq-G/s275/orangatang.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoCu8XhpFsoLn2QdJsEZ_ZQ7goU4tNRWua0mVtidstdUMuapRLLdDEUwV6KI4hqFZuK7dKd23HwLjpglv8W88ucxDUyQpxvNh1Ebeq9IW90Z8xbhWfzp6pRFI7P48_rqkaI2nCE2zxMq-G/w400-h266/orangatang.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span>Once again people had been talking to me but I missed the discussion. One of Johns' now completely inebriated friends said, "My man, it sucks that u lost feelings where do u think u lost them?" To my astonishment and utter disbelief, someone standing adjacent to me actually said, "Good question." In my mind it felt like I had been unwillingly transported to the high council of babbling idiots. I remained expressionless and replied, "I think they fell out my pocket on my way to the bar. I'm going to look for them on the way home. " They all laughed. I didn't. While they were still having bellies full of laughter and liquor, I returned to my quest for the bartender. This time I finally got his attention. The bartender was in front of me, John to my right, and one of his drunk minions to my left. The rest of the group had migrated over to us and were standing behind me making noisy monkey chatter. </span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZBroIXcyZUguGdLavpFbArWpLZWRKssvWqM9dYQU7caiUedbl3I7qEvcdiNeL3mK-y3lQHjnsr54byCHcEF3t7vR_214oV7rJdVL6Oqjd-BCGSOC6YIDbtHJ9TyHTuHKy6zw67tn9O1J/s480/landscape-1468949845-gettyimages-513626475.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="480" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZBroIXcyZUguGdLavpFbArWpLZWRKssvWqM9dYQU7caiUedbl3I7qEvcdiNeL3mK-y3lQHjnsr54byCHcEF3t7vR_214oV7rJdVL6Oqjd-BCGSOC6YIDbtHJ9TyHTuHKy6zw67tn9O1J/w400-h200/landscape-1468949845-gettyimages-513626475.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I introduced myself to the bartender. We exchanged pleasantries for a few moments, then I asked if the vodka was defective. They all laughed. I didn't. From the stoic expression on my face the bartender knew I was serious. We talked for a minute about different liquors while John and his friend made random shot suggestions. Since I was only drinking white liquor the bartender recommended I try some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenever" target="_blank">Jenever</a>, a Dutch Gin. We drank shots of different Jenever brands. The bartender had taken half shots with us and had become talkative. It was a short time after that he bounced off to change the music. People were dancing by their tables and the mood was quite festive. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3kBqfge_VqUHZzKQ-mPjZNds44Mr2r57gzN1dPivhIO_RidxeWnkBZXqbESbDAcbxydN5t2YDRHTvJVE6KqIexs99gRdG9bKP-mVF-hfaV6WyecysniyqncGiHKHbI0_LUIvx0aPIo4O/s2048/waves.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil3kBqfge_VqUHZzKQ-mPjZNds44Mr2r57gzN1dPivhIO_RidxeWnkBZXqbESbDAcbxydN5t2YDRHTvJVE6KqIexs99gRdG9bKP-mVF-hfaV6WyecysniyqncGiHKHbI0_LUIvx0aPIo4O/w400-h225/waves.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As I sat on the bar stool listening to what was once mindless chatter trying to keep my thoughts from sinking below pristine white waves of liquor. I came to a realization. Either all the conversations around me had suddenly became scintillantly interesting or...I had become one of the babbling village idiots. Regardless of the answer, it was fun. After that I shared some DeFi resources with John. It took some time to convince him that his past words meant nothing to me. The brewed spirits helped insure my statements weren't taken offensively. Later, I conceded to the bartender that the alcohol wasn't defective. They all laughed. I did too. It was a nice night. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One thing u want to always keep in mind. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The people u pass on your ascension to success in the journey of life.

Any civilization that advanced will have mastered interstellar travel and <a href="https://www.sciencealert.com/magnetic-wormhole-that-connects-two-regions-of-space-has-been-created" target="_blank">wormhole technology</a>. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidh9qrSQEajNEIhYRNRG1gwaPKZw7WnBzXPMRTKcp-3uTmDD40I77zuX17U7GylCUrDqunh8dNd_cvH8om_-hO4Lh5FT4QWqZ_KGpVHbMa01eQ7kHu8MVqIb30gxnks99NLNN-4kr0algG/s750/armageddon-poster.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="750" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidh9qrSQEajNEIhYRNRG1gwaPKZw7WnBzXPMRTKcp-3uTmDD40I77zuX17U7GylCUrDqunh8dNd_cvH8om_-hO4Lh5FT4QWqZ_KGpVHbMa01eQ7kHu8MVqIb30gxnks99NLNN-4kr0algG/w400-h211/armageddon-poster.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />Our current technology can put a person on the Moon, Mars and soon asteroids.

From that honest description Nova sounds like a pocket-sized freeloader who needs to hurry up and get a job. Believe me when I tell u that after months of diapers and four hour feedings I had those thoughts. The only reason she wasn't dressed in a suit like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boss_Baby" target="_blank">Boss Baby</a> and kicked out the door to find work is her energy. Although she couldn't speak when we made long eye contact while I fed her a bottle, Nova would radiate positive energy. Just with her eyes she would exude so much love, gratitude and appreciation that it stoked the flames of my soul like an inferno. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Babies are the embodiment of the word love.

We were in a deep discussion on why I had stopped seeing this hot girl because she said, "I was a really deep guy and she liked me more than just a hook-up." Since he had introduced us to each other, my friend was offended and couldn't understand my explanation. I told him, the minute she said those words I wanted to grab my backpack, wish it had a parachute and look for the nearest window. Instead I just said, "Thank you." Then I told her that I was completely emotionally unavailable and we should stop seeing each other. To be fair I told her the first part when we met. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFKifvYgqu39wCrEPT1WAW7q40AhjTrrFji2rSQBNBJwgi8xYcmKLK4hHasWXYhTtOCH-laGYpNG8RtQMh_JLfMkvX8RVE9C1k0ooqyN5CpVMle4vLK1z51CtpzNEpNQlKmP7zLLVTlQvG/s1566/181128-hfc-electroshock-therapy-tease_irgv1v.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="1566" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFKifvYgqu39wCrEPT1WAW7q40AhjTrrFji2rSQBNBJwgi8xYcmKLK4hHasWXYhTtOCH-laGYpNG8RtQMh_JLfMkvX8RVE9C1k0ooqyN5CpVMle4vLK1z51CtpzNEpNQlKmP7zLLVTlQvG/w400-h225/181128-hfc-electroshock-therapy-tease_irgv1v.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />That was the moment when things got real.

"No." We held eye contact for a moment when I answered. Like gravity the sincerity behind my words brought the whole mood down.

For me its the purest form of expression.</span> Don't get it twisted...I love to write and paint. The thing is, those mediums of expression are only 2D (two dimensional). They use only one of the five senses "sight". That means someone has to view the painting or read the book for it to be appreciated. Or in some cases for a message to be conveyed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Music is 3D. Its three dimensional in the aspect that its felt not only with the ears, but also throughout the whole body.</span> Our bodies feel music, not just hear it with the ears. It incorporates more of our senses and effects how we perceive our environment. You could be playing a song on the radio alone in your room and someone across the street hears that song. The music changes their day for the better, but u never know it. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Music transcends language, culture, race and religion.</span> It's the only medium of expression that is truly immortal, by being able to withstand the ravages of time. </span></p><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="210" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/817609369&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="80%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/tyger-vinum" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Tyger Vinum">Tyger Vinum</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tyger-vinum/thamonchichisong" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Tha Monchichi Song">Tha Monchichi Song</a></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the past I created music based on my emotional state in a particular moment.

If not, kick rocks, and move on. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLyGjwixJYIXo3m_kL6EZzKAALLw3P_MoWZX3VxV0S8qj_V4gjZtQxVOYu_kjO2DDBwp9_5B2uWlGs0CyilF_Kw9TCtHP-EVX8guOyZ8DJ7G_DRfWURMFvizAfACVfQkeM25GzEd9dAUH/s1200/rhhs.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLyGjwixJYIXo3m_kL6EZzKAALLw3P_MoWZX3VxV0S8qj_V4gjZtQxVOYu_kjO2DDBwp9_5B2uWlGs0CyilF_Kw9TCtHP-EVX8guOyZ8DJ7G_DRfWURMFvizAfACVfQkeM25GzEd9dAUH/w400-h209/rhhs.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />While I'm recording I don't listen to a lot of whole albums.

I believe in a former life I was a pirate. A sea pirate with an eyepatch and parrot on the shoulder. Why? I love being in the water. My passion for travel is like an endless thirst. I appreciate fine liquor, have a problem with authority, and love shiny, expensive things. I was definitely a pirate! Pardon, me. I got distracted. It happens sometimes. </span><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyr2x3sYUD1il2PtczRb4N8Kpjm9CuwaDbRpIBr8DxLDOjZnOfF85A32zimOPUP1L5WyiZv2-VaHPxUkr2iXP7LAsdTwgLsjkZKJhPM6rvaqoqpcFpN_-zkcs717bP5VWzA99p8F5eyegj/s1920/gangster-teddy-bear-pins-rain-hd-1080P-wallpaper.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyr2x3sYUD1il2PtczRb4N8Kpjm9CuwaDbRpIBr8DxLDOjZnOfF85A32zimOPUP1L5WyiZv2-VaHPxUkr2iXP7LAsdTwgLsjkZKJhPM6rvaqoqpcFpN_-zkcs717bP5VWzA99p8F5eyegj/w400-h225/gangster-teddy-bear-pins-rain-hd-1080P-wallpaper.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br />As I was saying. The president decided not to kill the bear. The story of the presidents failed hunt was written in news articles and made into satirical cartoons. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">A candy shop owner who used to make stuffed animals with his wife read the story.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The owner made a stuffed bear</span> in recognition of the presidents humanitarian act...or sympathy for his failure. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">He named the bear "Teddys' Bear".</span> The bear was a hit. The rest is history. Teddy Bears are one of the most popular stuffed animals ever created. </span></div><div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRniJmpv1JLQkBJ0wxpDdpeKsu0yF7iF8uzjxkZEMP6cigJ56XIT_4eWoMh9uccPYUSyShw5hS-2aBbxJ4MePcZMx06MjmCw1fFFc3bhxnFhAtooDLxFTJXtu9lec1iyHr6CJ_Hic2bBD/s1000/colors.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="1000" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRniJmpv1JLQkBJ0wxpDdpeKsu0yF7iF8uzjxkZEMP6cigJ56XIT_4eWoMh9uccPYUSyShw5hS-2aBbxJ4MePcZMx06MjmCw1fFFc3bhxnFhAtooDLxFTJXtu9lec1iyHr6CJ_Hic2bBD/w400-h161/colors.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />When I get writers block or stressed, I paint.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">My work will never be fine art.</span> I never aspired for it to make me rich.
