Live: Icon / Jibrel Network / South Korea Trip

So we're going live right now. Thank you guys so much for tuning in today to today's episode. I'm just going to give some time for everyone to come in. But today what we're going to talk about is Icon. So Icon, we're going to talk about the Jabril Network. And I'm talking about my upcoming trip to South Korea. So I'm going to test if this is working right now. It should be working. It should be good to go. Yep, we're good to go right now. So guys, thank you guys so much for watching. Thank you guys so much for tuning in. I'm going to just check your live stream. This is going to be a slightly shorter live stream, of course. I've been trying to make shorter live streams for a while. But of course, that's not going to be possible. Because there's so much to discuss about in the cryptocurrency world. So shout out to everyone. Jun, Yan, Lee watching from Korea. Awesome, man. Guys, take the opportunity to share this video, of course, with the Icon group. Because I'm going to talk about Icon. The Korean ultra hyper-connected world coin. Talking about Jabrona. We're going to talk about my upcoming trip to Korea. So excited to go to South Korea to check out the craziness that's happening there. You know, we've seen it in the markets. I mean, just look at the price of Bitcoin in South Korea. So if you look at the South Korean price in South Korean won, it is almost $18,000. So, you know, I think a lot of people are going to be dying to just sell the cryptocurrencies down in South Korea. Because you're going to get that extra bonus over there. So they are excited in South Korea. Definitely for cryptocurrencies. There's definitely cryptocurrency fever over there. I mean, even Ripple, 48% trade volume in South Korea still. $2.51. Basically, if you just grab some Ripple, you're going to make almost 30, 40% on your crypto. But, of course, the reason why for this is because the borders of South Korea. It's hard to send Viet in and out of South Korea. So I'm going to check out the whole situation there. I'll be on Ground Zero to talk to you about it. So today, I think just for some sheer luck, of course, we got two South Korean coins I want to talk about today. So I'm just more focused on South Korea. I do want to say, of course, the icon is the winner. So I want to congratulate the winner of the first ever BoxMining Community Favorite Coin right here. Oops, I also want to share this video on my Telegram stream. So shout out to everyone from Telegram. So I'm going to share this on the Telegram stream going live right now. And I also have an announcement there as well. So you guys can check out those two community groups. I've been hanging around on Telegram groups this year. Telegram is huge. So, of course, you know, this is where we're going to shout out. And I'm so much happier hanging out on Telegram because it's a little bit safer than Slack. Slack last year, we had so many Slack bots. We had like Slack bots scamming people, fake my ether wallets. Just all these various hacks going on. So this year, I think having Telegram is a little bit nicer and safer. So I'm really happy for that. And of course, I'm happy that the icon won the first ever BoxMining Community Challenge. So just to get you guys up to date on what this challenge is, it's because we got so many suggestions for different cryptocurrencies. And I thought, okay, why don't we do a voting contest? So we did it on YouTube so it's fair. You know, you guys all probably watch this video. So you guys are on YouTube, of course. So we did it on YouTube. YouTube has a voting feature now. So we basically pick five coins out at random. So you guys probably saw the live coin picking out. Drawing out these coins. And then, of course, we're going to vote here. So the vote results, we got 3,500 votes. I mean, 3.5K votes is a lot, guys. Thank you guys for taking your time. So much for expressing your opinion. And of course, icon won by far. It is ICX all the way 50%. So pretty amazing, guys. We also have a lot of comments here for this. I mean, that is going to be crazy. So, of course, icon is something that is quite a lot. So I've been researching icon, been seeing what's behind the icon. Of course, in terms of icon, everyone's thinking it's going to move. But let's look at the technology because it's got some real serious backers behind it. I'm also going to say, of course, that I'm going to probably, after, because for the coins that win, and I'm probably going to throw some money at it, this is going to be a, I think, long-term experiment. Can the community find good coins? Are, is this voting thing successful? I want to maybe just throw some, maybe 1,000 or 500-something dollars US, buy some icon up, and we're going to track that icon throughout the year. So that's what, something I thought was going to be an interesting experiment, not financial advice, of course. But I just want to track it. I just want to see if you guys are awesome. Because I know you guys are awesome, we're going to track it, and we're going to try to prove that you guys can pick out the best coins possible. So I'm so excited for this event, and I'm going to figure a way out to do it. But icon is quite easy to buy right now because, of course, it's listed on many exchanges. And, of course, it's also an ERC20 token, which means they can go into quite a lot of wallets. So just a quick search, ICX, search for ICX. This is where we are at right now. It's rank 18, so obviously quite an established token right now. It's also gone up quite a lot in price. If you think, look about it, just ICO'd probably quite late last year. And, of course, after ICO, it had a very successful ICO. Shot up to the moon right now. It has a total market cap of $3.9 billion. It is kind of staying awesome in the sea of red right now. So we have a sea of red right now in cryptocurrency land. NIO is staying strong. ICON is staying strong. VeChain is staying strong. Tether is tether. So there you go. So we have all these coins. ICON is staying strong right now in the middle of the storm. So what's going on? What's behind the technology? This is what we're going to look at in the episode today. So shout out to everyone who's watching right now. I hope you guys enjoy this community episode. This is the one that you got a coin and that you guys picked out. It's going to be tons of fun. So, of course, let me just check this one out. Let's see how many people are watching right now. Do remember to share this video, guys. This is going to be amazing. This year has been really fun for me. I've been trying a lot of different things. I'm going to try. I've been trying out more, of course, live streams. Right now, 800 and 12, 14 people watching. Thank you guys so much for being here and being awesome, guys. So let's check out what ICON is. So ICON, of course, is a South Korean project. Well, people have been calling it the Ethereum of South Korea. It's basically got a big financial group backing it. It's got a fintech startup that's basically started around two years ago. It is worth billions of dollars and decided to ICO late last year. So basically, just by the kind of connections, it's by the daily group. So you've probably heard of that name pop out a few times. Well, that's the group behind ICON. So it's been quite established already. And, of course, it's been in development for a long while. In terms of its other cooperations, it's also got three universities behind it. Three universities researching this and, of course, behind this cryptocurrency. I just forgot something just now. I'm going to put the live stream up on the side right here. The idea, what is ICON trying to solve? So ICON, they've seen, basically, different cryptocurrencies pop out. They know that in the future, decentralized apps are going to be a thing. So with that in mind, they want to hyperconnect all these decentralized communities. So in actual fact, whilst it probably got started in South Korea, it doesn't want to end there. This is a similar pattern with what we saw with NEO. So NEO has been, of course, kind of established in China, but they want to go global. And we've seen them moving huge this year. They're doing a developers conference in San Francisco. That's going to happen in around two weeks. So ICON, they started in South Korea. The daily group is behind it. And, of course, the daily group has been split into a few sections. But I'm just going to say, in general, the daily group is going to be behind it. And, of course, they want to hyperconnect all these systems out there. So that is the main objective of ICON. So with that in mind, what is the technology that they're going to do so? They're going to bring a few things on board. And this is why it's quite hard to initially explain ICON. It's going to be built on the loop chain platform. So it's not going to be on Ethereum. It's not going to be on Bancor. This is what we're talking about very soon. There's going to be a main net launch. So right now, they basically designed a brand new platform. They're going to use a whole new different consensus algorithm. So right now, they have a chart comparing this. So right now, we've seen Bitcoin, which is the one that I'm most familiar with. That's with proof of work. That's mining. So, of course, box mining. Mining since 2012. So proof of work is one of the original consensus mechanisms. It's all about having expensive hardware, doing calculations, kind of rolling the dice, trying to get that block with the number of zeros in front. That's right. I'm just blabbing up on stuff. But anyways, proof of work is using miners. Proof of stake, which is what Ethereum wants to move into. What EOS is, is using a stake of something. And, of course, ICON loop chain is using something completely different. So what is that? So it is using something called loop fault tolerance. It's a variant on the Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm. So this is a completely different algorithm that they're using here. They're basically coming up with something new. This is why they want to bring the universities on board, too. It's got this research aspect of it. They're trying to come up with something new, some different way of doing things. It reminds me of, just straight off the bat, I was thinking of NEO, because NEO uses delegated Byzantine fault, DBFT. ICON uses a variant of Byzantine fault tolerance. So more traditional, it's kind of like a different way of doing things. So what is the issue? What's this consensus mechanism thing? Well, it's how the network kind of synchronizes with each other. It's how to reach the conclusion that we are on a certain block. It is the whole idea of a decentralized network. And this is very important because it's the backbone of a cryptocurrency. But I think with this project, the backbone is different, but everything else is also different. It's going to try to allow decentralized apps to run on it. It's trying to allow interchain. It also wants to do a decentralized exchange and real-time transaction. So that's what it's trying to do over here. It's trying to do a lot. And obviously, with this chart, I will take this with a grain of salt because this year, of course, there's going to be so many things happening with the other cryptocurrencies, too. Everything is going to be a race, so to speak, to get as many features as possible. So they've also got so many wings and branches to this, which was something that amazed me about this project. And of course, I think that's why you guys chose it. You know, we had almost 50% vote for this project. Of course, you know, Don Tapscott is going to be an advisor. And of course, he's also going to be at the conference that I'm attending in, I think, two days. It's coming up, guys. It's coming up. I'm going to go to South Korea. They will be there as well. They're going to be in South Korea, so I may get a chance, guys. I can't make any promises right now. But I may get a chance to speak to these guys, talk to them about Icon. It's going to be very, very interesting. And of course, I hope you guys are excited for it. So let's catch up on what's happening right now. So we have a lot happening on the conversation. We've got people very interested, of course, in Icon. And, you know, what points to buy it. Of course, with my channel, I'm more focused on the technology. I think with adoption, with kind of usage, that is what's going to drive the long-term price. Of course, we have these short-term exciting points. I mean, the mainlet's going to launch. That's a good big date. That's going to be turning a white paper into something that is real. I think that's going to be important as well. I'm going to stress that because, of course, when you write a white paper, it's just an idea. It's just like, hey, we're going to be working on this. Obviously, they've been working on this idea for a long time because Daily Group was established around two years ago. And, of course, I think they've been coming up with different solutions and different ways to solve this. So obviously, just got a backbone to it. This is something I've seen similar with VeChain as well. VeChain has been running for around two years before, of course, coming out with an ICO and then all these news announcements as well. So I see kind of this kind of similarity here. These are not new projects. These are not new teams. They've been around for a while. They've got significant backing, significant business deals, significant amounts of cooperation with everyone. So I think this is quite important to just stress this out. This is something that we kind of see this year as well. We're going to see very high-quality projects trying to push forward on everything as well. So, yep, let's take a look at the chat. So we got Venn, FTY, Bye Bye, FTW for the win. VeChain for the win. So, of course, we got tons of suggestions for democracies. So, obviously, South Koreans are very loyal to their own. I think this is something that might be quite true. This is something I'm going to try to check in South Korea. They're probably very excited. They definitely want to support their own cryptocurrency. This is something that they developed. This is a new vision as well. So I think that's what's impressive. It's not really based on anything else. The consensus mechanism is different. So it's not Ethereum. It's not going to be, you know, it's just a clone or something. This is going to be something new. Different consensus algorithm, different governance style, different decentralized apps on it. So it's going to be interesting. Obviously, of course, they want to get as many people involved in this as possible. So, and of course, they might want to stick together on this. So this is going to be something quite interesting. So we got ZOOP E891. Why is this better than NEO? I think a lot of people talk about and think about, of course, competition between two coins. I want to say this outright. In cryptocurrency, a lot of times when you're trading cryptocurrencies, you get a choice. You get like, oh, Icon or NEO. Which one should I buy? It's kind of competitive for your attention. But in real life, this is definitely not the case. If you look at the collaborations they got, Icon is very, very strong in terms of the connections in South Korea. Just look at the connections of the Daily Group. We have names like Samsung popping up. You know, they've been working with them in the past. So this is a different attack on different, not an attack, but different way of approaching different companies and trying to get them to use blockchain, of course, and create new apps as well. So I think it's not a zero-sum game. When crypto is growing together, I don't think it's going to be saying, oh, what's better, Icon or NEO? This year, what's going to really matter is, of course, the collaborations they can get, the developers they can get on board. It's going to push crypto to the new boundaries. So I think this one, definitely, they have a huge base in South Korea. And of course, NEO is more Chinese-focused. And this year, of course, just popping out with NEO, they got a NEO developers conference coming up in San Francisco as well. This is something that I'm trying to plan to see if I can check out and to attend and to show you guys what's happening. I think right now, there's a room for a lot of cooperation in this space. So that's going to be cool. That's going to be cool. You know, cooperation, maybe with other blockchains. This is the idea behind Icon. I'm not saying buy Icon. I'm saying this is the idea behind it. They're trying to interconnect so many different systems, so many different blockchains as well. This is one of the ideas. It's not about saying, oh, we're going to destroy them all. You know, we don't see this first slide on this page saying, yeah, we're going to destroy all these other blockchains out there. We're going to be dominant. Right now, rather, of course, they're more going to be like, let's connect everything. Let's make them into loops. This is what their white paper is about. They're trying to connect different institutions together and then bridge them together. This is going to be trying to be a bridging aspect of cryptocurrencies. So, I think this is just something we want to say out. He's saying, live session says, he's saying buy Icon. I'm going to buy a little bit of Icon just to show you guys and track it. So, you guys don't have to buy it. We can follow this as it goes. It might be good. It might not be good. This is definitely a community choice. I want to say this outright straight out here. This is the community choice. Of course, this is why I'm talking about it. I love to hear what you guys, what your opinions are. 3.5k votes. So, Jen, basically, I think 1,000 or so people voted for Icon. This is why I'm talking about it right now. So, yeah, so Robert S says, he's doing a review of Icon because we voted for it. That is absolutely right. We picked five coins out from random from the list. Said, I asked basically last week, six days ago, what do you guys, what do you guys like? What are you guys voting for? What do you guys are excited about? 3.5k votes all went into Icon and that's why we're talking about it. This is why I'm excited for it as well because I'm excited for you guys. Right? You guys came out and voted. Out of these five, this is basically how many YouTube allows in one vote. Basically, they allow five coins to be voted for here and of course, you guys voted for Icon. So, this is why I'm excited. This is why I'm presenting it to you guys. I definitely had a blast looking at this. It's been pretty interesting to see what is happening here and of course, people are definitely expecting price movement. So, we've seen this a little bit. So, in terms of chat, we had a comment as well that's from NN Ton that says, Koreans will pump ICX very soon. So, this is a rumor, obviously, you know, South Koreans get intensely excited for a particular cryptocurrency sometimes. We've seen, you know, a different cryptocurrency being chosen kind of by the South Koreans. So, this is something that I want to see at ground level for myself as well. So, I'm going to go to South Korea tonight. So, in around, well, in a few hours. Anyways, so I'm going to go there of course. There might be a delay on some videos but the idea is I'm going to go to South Korea to check out what's going on. I mean, if you look at Ripple, by the way, $2.46 for Ripple. So, that's going to be intense. That's going to be quite intense. So, right now, we have that happening. I want to visit and talk to as many South Koreans as possible, get you guys some insight in South Korea. I do want to highlight just for anyone new here, if you guys follow me on Twitter, so my handle is twitter.com slash box mining. So, let me just show you guys this here. Erica Khan says, hey, you're coming to Korea. Yeah, I'm going to Korea, baby. We are going to Korea to check out what's happening. So, of course, this is something I'm going to be presenting at. This is why I'm going to talk about the Jabril network as well, the blockchain revolution, integrating blockchain with traditional economy and check what's over here, guys. Check what's over here. Let me see if this has been blocking. Box mining is here. So, we got participants. Don Tapscott's going to be here. So, he's an advisor for Icon. So, this is like all linking together right now. Don Tapscott, he's an advisor for Icon. We got Jabril network going, of course, to their own event. Binance. You know, Binance is going there. Nio. Nio's going to be there. So, I can't see the logo. Coin Time. So, also, local Korean guys are going there. Metaverse is going to go there. And box mining. I'm so, I'm really excited. I'm really honored they put my logo on the same line as all these just titans out here. They're allowing me to speak as well. They're giving me like a 15-minute slot to talk about how research projects, what I do in this space. I'm so excited. I'm so honored as well. You know, to be placed with Binance, to be placed with Nio. You know, this is a great honor. I'm really glad they're doing this. So, of course, the tickets, unfortunately, are sold out. So, January 17th, that's where it's going to be. The tickets are, unfortunately, sold out. They basically packed it with journalists. So, Economic Daily, they're going to be their sold in terms of their government. I think their local city council is going to be there. Journalists are going to be there. They're going to have a lot of government ministers as well. So, one thing I've been expressly told about for this event is not to talk about ICOs. I think ICOs are a little bit so touchy in South Korea, but talking about blockchain technology, this is what they're interested in. So, for sure, even in terms of the government, they're interested in blockchain technology. It is a revolution. I mean, this is something we can't ignore anymore. So, of course, I'm going to get you a lowdown on what's happening. I mean, of course, recently, we had this whole issue of the Korean exchange ban. You know, what is South Korea going to draft up? They have been drafting something since December. You know, we've seen that coming to be eventually. They're going to be talking about this since December. And, of course, hopefully, this event will sway their opinion. I'm really hoping that this event will sway their opinion and teach them about what is cryptocurrencies. What are cryptocurrencies? What can these things do? What is the idea of decentralized trust? Trustless transactions? These are huge things that's going to change the way we do things today. Decentralized apps as well. So, obviously, Icon, they're going to be there as well. And this is going to be one very exciting, exciting event. So, there we go, man. Thank you, guys. Flavio says, you deserve, dude. You are the man. Thank you, guys, so much for your support. I wouldn't have been able to make it there without you guys. I really want to thank you, guys, so much, so much for this. That's why I'm doing the community. And, obviously, you guys are just awesome to me because it just makes so much sense. The timing of this community coin competition, the vote result is South Korea. And I'm going to South Korea soon. I don't know if it's fate or not, but that's exciting, guys. That is exciting. So, let's take a look. We got people very excited. Icon top five very soon. People are definitely excited. I mean, I was checking on the Icon Reddit today as well. Hello, Icon. I was saying, hey, look, I'm going to be live there. Guys, help me vote for this. Share this. Let's get more Icon fans here. You guys voted for it. Let's talk about it. So, of course, Icon to deploy mainnet very, very, very soon. Of course, there's a lot of time. There's also another Icon video. I'm going to share this guy. This guy made a cool video about Icon. So, there's also a lot of discussion about the purpose of Icon, the mainnet deployment, how it's going to go. So, I think this is going to be very, very interesting. There's lots of technical analysis on it soon. Everyone's predicting a possible breakout. But, of course, my view on technical analysis is that it's not going to be the one factor that decides everything. It's going to, I don't, I'm not a big fan of swing trading. You guys, probably, if you follow me on Twitter, you know, just flip-flopping between various cryptocurrencies. cryptocurrencies. I like to choose something that is very solid and I want to go for it. So, obviously, I'm quite excited, personally excited for Icon. I think this is definitely a very good choice because, of course, we've got, it's capturing on that new attention, that new kind of rush from the South Korea into cryptocurrencies. You know, we saw that a little bit in the past as well. We saw, I think, Walton Chain, they had South Korean advisors, you know, and we saw universities in South Korea pushing for this. And, of course, Icon is definitely one of the huge ones over there as well. So, Icon sounds good. Wolves at Night says, yeah, this is interesting. We also got a lot happening. Obviously, we do have a bleed out on the cryptocurrency markets right now and I said, Icon is holding very steady. It's pretty much at 0.09. It's trying to hold its position right now. And, I said yesterday in this cryptocurrency thing, we're having more or less a recovery right now. I think it's going to be more obvious on LiveCoin Watch. Let's check out LiveCoin Watch. Okay, so one hour we should do a dipping bit. I don't get how these things graph things differently. You know, they're looking at the same freaking chart. But here, we definitely see a little bit of an uptick for cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, but on LiveCoin Watch, we don't have that. So, I'm still deciding which one to use. There's some features I don't like in the LiveCoin Watch, I'll be honest. The reason why I moved away was because, of course, CoinMarketCap, they removed Korean figures without warning everyone. It wasn't the action that was bothering me, it was just the way they did it. That was why I was just like, oh, maybe not. But just look at all the South Korean prizes for a lot of things. BitThumb is there. Hopefully, I'll get to find someone BitThumb. Obviously, I'm attending this event because one of my good friends, Ben, he's been trying to invite me to an event in South Korea for a long time. He's like, yeah, man, I'm helping organize all these events. I want you to check it out. And, of course, I finally said, yeah, I missed two. So, I'm sorry, Ben, for missing two. I should have brought you guys more South Korean coverage because, obviously, there's a lot going on in South Korea. So, I should have brought this a little bit earlier. So, let's just find out a little bit about the Jabril Network as well. So, of course, the Jabril Network just recently finished a very successful ICO. They're trying to basically put different assets on the blockchain. So, this is what the Jabril Network is all about. So, I'm going to research a little bit more about what the Jabril Network is. I'm going to make a video probably on the Jabril Network because they're bringing people together. This event is something that they are organizing. So, that's what they're doing here. They're basically, this is the Jabril Network event, but they brought everyone here. This is going to be, so I hear, the biggest event, the biggest event ever in South Korean history. So, we're making history here, guys. We're making history here. This is packed full of people. I think almost 500 people signed up. This space was extremely limited. Everyone, I think, who's anyone in Seoul is going to be there. And, of course, it's going to be exciting. So, we have some comments as well. May not launch Icon next week. I'm definitely going to try to follow that as well, guys. Thank you guys so much for suggesting Icon to me. This has been one huge community coin as well. And I'm very excited. I'm very excited to check out what Jabril is doing. I was checking out the wallet as well. I think there's a J wallet for Jabril Network. I've always liked to see, of course, advancements in everything. I'm not sure if I can show this. Yeah. So, Jabril, they got the Alpha wallet coming out. They're institutional grade wallet to manage additional assets. That's what they're doing. They're trying to make a wallet. I've seen another wallet recently, of course. I've been talking about the Engine wallet. So, obviously, this is going to be a little bit different. but, you know, wallets are a big thing this year. It's going to be very exciting to see different aspects. So, they're going to make a wallet. They're going to put different tokens on and, of course, they're going to be about trading and, wait, this is just J-Watch. Sorry. J-Watch is one of the aspects of Jabril Network. So, Jabril Network is going to provide currencies, equities, commodities, and other financial estimates as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum blockchain. So, they're providing an alternative. So, right now, of course, we got trading for cryptocurrencies, this 24-hour exchange that, I guess, we love and hate at the same time. I think a lot of people, you can't sleep because of how crazy crypto is. It never takes a break. And, of course, with traditional stocks, with traditional commodities and equities, of course, there are a little bit more, you know, trading between these hours. You know, NASDAQ is open for these certain hours. We got, of course, different exchanges, like even the Hong Kong exchange, they're open for a certain hours. And then they're closed. But, with cryptocurrency trading, that allows us for 24-hour trading of equities, commodities, currencies. I'm very interested in how they're going to do it, how they're going to implement it. We've seen a very similar concept with the LA token, LA token, being to one of their conferences as well. So, obviously, I'm not trying to play favorites here, but it's going to be interesting because this is going to probably be more Korea-focused because, obviously, they're bringing all these guys coming in from South Korea, a lot of traditional guys as well, a lot of blockchain guys as well, they want to show them the power of the blockchain. Putting assets there allows us to diversify more. Right now, of course, I'm diversifying with more and more coins, but, you know, technically speaking, we can technically take a look at equities, commodities. Obviously, personally, I'm still very, very bullish on cryptocurrencies. Probably, you know, a 2% growth in equities or commodities isn't important, but I think it's really good for these financial assets to eventually move to cryptocurrency. That's going to be interesting. So, we also got, so much, thank you so much for a donation, crypto trade expert. Check out High Performance Blockchain. We've been hearing a lot of good stuff about it recently. But, of course, this episode is going to be focused on Gibral and, of course, South Korea as well. So, this is going to be cool. We also have Baby Whale Crypto. You said, Michael, how many coins do you have? I have a ton. I've been trying to clear up that list. I think a lot of people are very excited for my portfolio presentation. Sorry for the late guys. I'm sorry so much for a lot of things I wanted to do this year. It's all got a little bit of delight late. My favorite coins, my portfolio presentation, Walton Part 3, I think the Bolton community is just haranguing me about that non-stop. So, Walton Part 3 and, of course, there's just so much more to talk about. Even yesterday as well, we got some VeChain exciting news coming out from VeChain. Let me just check. I've got thoughts on different VeChain partners with China State Tobacco Company. So, I mean, obviously, all these things, they deserve videos. I mean, this is a huge event where VeChain can partner up with basically the biggest monopoly on tobacco producers on doing, of course, product authentication and tracking. I mean, these are huge things coming this year, guys. Not just for VeChain, not just for VeChain, but for the whole crypto community world. We're basically noticing the start of what exactly is correctly phrased here, which is the blockchain revolution, guys. The blockchain revolution is coming. We're going to be integrating. Traditional guys are coming on board to blockchain. Blockchain is going to invent new ways of doing things. We saw just Icon how they're trying to do a network and use loop ring to connect all these blockchains and communities together. This is a very, very exciting time for everyone. So, of course, we got Hamad is diversifying over 10 coins is pure stupidity. You know what? I come from a more conservative background. I don't gamble that much. Obviously, in crypto, we'll probably much be saying that cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. It is very similar to gambling. But, of course, what I do want to say is that having a more diversified portfolio allows you to mitigate a little bit more risk. That's something that I've been doing. Obviously, just a lot of coins I like. I mean, over the past year, I've been making videos for almost one year now, coming up on the one-year anniversary in March. So, I've seen a lot of coins and a lot of coins, they all grew. And I think I've been phenomenally very lucky. I've been reflecting upon that very early this year. I'm like, I'm very lucky. Class of 2012 really, you know, dived head deep into this in 2017. We're entering 2018. It's going to be a wild ride from now on. Obviously, it's going to be different institutions coming in. Last year, we had big news, CBOE. We got listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange for futures on Bitcoin that might happen to Ethereum very soon, maybe. There's a lot of general public interest right now. We got full coverage. Bloomberg, we got Reuters, we got different news out of CNBC, of course, covering crypto up the wall right now. Obviously, a lot of excitement. This is what happens with every single new technology. We are basically, finally, you know, we've been waiting for this moment for ages. When Bitcoin first got launched, nobody cared. 2012, nobody cared about Bitcoin. At that time, Bitcoin was $10. People were like, this is a bubble, it's going to fall down to a dollar, it's going to fall down to a few cents. This is worthless, it's tied to nothing. That was what people said back then. Back all the way in 2012, that is when I sold. I sold a bunch of Bitcoins at $15. So I thought, you know what, it's going to be, it might last. You know, what is this decentralization thing? Then of course, the Greek financial crisis had people selling rates. Boom! Cryptocurrencies decentralize store value. It's not just for payments. I think a lot of people get confused. They're like, yeah, let's just do it for payments. It's not. It's not just about payments. It's about decentralized store of value. It is huge. It allows us to basically store a currency that's not going to be subject to mass inflation. It doesn't have the risk of that. And then of course, this year, we're moving on to scaling. I think I want to point this out very clearly as well. Yesterday, of course, I was talking to the NEO community. So just shout outs to the NEO community if you guys are NEO fans here. You know, I've done coverage of Trinity. So Trinity is a scaling solution for NEO. During the interview, I think one big thing that clicked in my mind. So when I was talking to David here, this is a very interesting interview if you guys are looking at it. He's talking about the technology. He's talking about how to implement tier two solutions. Basically, the lightning network, the write-in network, and basically, it's called Trinity on NEO. This is absolutely important for every single blockchain. I suddenly realized that because he was talking about one thing that's very close to me, which is gaming. He basically said, just think about how many transactions are in gaming. We've been comparing it to the wrong thing, guys. We've been comparing transaction speed to Visa or comparing transaction speed to different networks around the world. but that's not what we're comparing to. This is going to be way bigger than what Visa can handle. Visa's going to be a joke compared to this. With cryptocurrencies, he's basically talking that gaming companies are knocking at his door, begging to learn about cryptocurrencies, about blockchain. The Chinese gaming companies are out there. Just look at how many different Chinese games there are out there. If you remember, if you ever played the World of Warcraft, we had an auction house. That is what blockchain can do. We can trade digital items. If you guys ever used auctioneer, this is a thing I used a lot back in World of Warcraft. You have these auto-listing features that you click a button and you list everything that you have in your inventory that you want to sell on the auction house that was a tool. That, I think, can pump out literally 1,000 transactions per second. That's per user, guys. That is per user. While I was playing WoW, we had millions, I think, millions upon millions of people playing World of Warcraft. That's one game as well. Just think about the scaling that we need to handle on our networks. I think that's what got me excited. It suddenly clicked for me. I'm like, wow, that's right. We got not just gaming. Just one user can probably pump out 1,000 TPS using bots. I'm not bots, but auctioneer on a video game because auction house management is huge. Trading is huge. If you guys play EVE Online as well, I was a big trader in EVE Online. I'm a freaking trader in every single game, basically, if you think about it. I always trade in these games. I get an enormous amount of in-game wealth. This is why I guess I'm very good with virtual currencies because I've done that my whole life in the past in video games. Then, for video games, we need that transactions per second. Then, coupled with the fact that not only there are multiple video games, coupled by the fact that there's going to be more applications for this, we've been talking about Internet of Things, devices. We have smart bikes all over Hong Kong right now and they need to be basically locked and unlocked. These are all transactions and 1,000 is just a joke. 1,000 TPS, 10,000 TPS. We're not even looking at that magnitude. All the blockchains in the world cannot handle the decentralized applications that can potentially come on blockchain right now. We definitely need scaling. That was a great talk. I'm definitely going to follow these projects. This year is going to be huge for the Lightning Network as well. Lightning, I think David said something really cool which is Lightning is legit. They're like these guys who designed Lightning. Joseph Poon, one of the original creators of the Lightning Network. This guy over here, just listen to him. Listen to him talk about Lightning Network. Thaddeus Dreja, these guys are just very, very smart people coming up with these ideas. Scaling solutions are coming for Bitcoin. Scaling solutions are coming for Ethereum. They are coming for NEO. They're going to try to handle and improve that capacity because we know this year is going to be a year. And also, I think for Icon as well, they got some very cool ideas coming up. They also, of course, I do want to say they're deploying the main net. We're going to see how effective this is going to be. So, this is going to be cool, guys. This is going to be cool. So, obviously, Lightning Network is coming. Lightning Network is coming for Bitcoin. It's coming, the same idea of these Tier 2 solutions. You know, in fact, this year, we're not just talking about Tier 2. We realize how important Tier 2 is. We might do Tier 3. I mean, I'm not sure if you guys have seen this before. Scaling for, this is going to be hot in around 2 years. This is going to be hot in around 2 years. So, Plasma was announced last year. It was about talking about scaling autonomous smart contracts for Ethereum. I'm very excited for all these technologies. It's not zero-sum. Obviously, I love Ethereum. I love Bitcoin. You know, I'm going to try to maybe buy some Icon. I'm going to put that in my wallet right here, the smart wallet. So, it's going to be definitely very, very interesting. So, what my idea is, of course, the Engine wallet. I'm not sure if you guys have seen this. I've been talking about it for a while because Engine is a gaming company. They produce a very beautiful wallet. It's for mobile platforms. And, of course, you lock in with your fingerprint. I've got quite a lot of Ethereum on there. But anyways, you can add basically 300-something ERC tokens on. So, what I might do is I might just add and buy Icon and put it on this phone. And I'm going to show you guys the progress throughout the year. That will be pretty cool. I thought that would be pretty awesome. So, actually possessing that. It's not going to be not possessing it. So, I've seen, of course, Blockfolio, Delta, you can virtually trade. But this is going to be like real stuff. So, I think that's what's going to be interesting. I'm going to probably put it on there. Show you guys what I have in my wallets. Track that throughout time. This is the community choice, of course. Icon is the community choice. I'm excited for Jabral. I'm going to talk about that. Maybe make a video about Jabral as well. This is going to be one of the biggest events of the year. So, very, very interested. South Korea coming up. I'm going to show you guys. I was going to ask you guys because, you know, I've heard there's a lot of cryptocurrency trading in South Korea in PC bangs. That's where, that's our net cafes where people hang out. You know, I saw an episode on Conan. So, Conan, the Conan show. Conan, PC bang. This was a great episode, by the way. Conan checks out a PC bang. This is something that I might be interested. I'm not sure if I have time to go and check one of these things out. But this is something that I'm definitely very interested in. This is a very funny episode as well. You know, he makes fun of people. But Conan and Brian is hilarious. Alright guys, so that's what I want to talk about to you guys. This is the update. Basically, I'm going to South Korea very soon. So, you might expect maybe a delay in some videos. I'm going to present a presentation about researching and talking about different blockchain projects. And of course, I'm going to get the lowdown on what's happening. This is going to be where everyone who's anyone in the cryptocurrency space in South Korea, they're going to be there. Dahomeface is going to be there. Eric Wu is going to be there. I think CJ from Binance is going to be there. So basically, not just South Korea, but this is going to be international. They're going to talk about everything different. It's going to be absolutely fun. Yeah, I'm going to put the Conan episode there. I think that I just posted this up. Conan is absolutely hilarious. Conan is the best, guys. Conan is the best. Upload the presentation says Bersarquin. Yeah, I'll take a look. I'll take a look. Can you link where the engine wallet is? Check it out. Engine wallet. This is, it's a very, very beautiful, very, very beautiful mobile wallet. I think it's getting so much popularity. It's trending right now on Android. Anyone that's anyone I've shown this wallet to was like, wow. It doesn't have froze. It's not like it's got animations and froze and stuff, but it's, it works. It's one of the most secure wallets out there. They just recently added fingerprint so you can just fingerprint log into it. It's fast. It's blazing fast, actually. The reason why, of course, I feel safe with them is because Engine is a gaming company. They basically worked and the team has worked together for a very, very long time. So Engine itself, they basically doing Minecraft servers and guilds and they create websites so that's their service. They basically brought the top engineers to create the Engine wallet. That's why they managed to create it and made it very, very safe. They also got a lot of safety features on here. Basically, it's unfortunate, but you can't even take a screenshot here because they want to make it safe. They've also have basically software and hardware encryption on the private key. I do want to say that if you guys are going to import wallets into Engine, I don't really support importing wallets. The reason why is because now you create two points of weakness. So basically, if you're importing an Exodus wallet, then that means your private key is stored on Exodus and on Engine. That's two points of weakness. It is kind of cool if you want to import and doing one thing on the wallet also affects the other wallet. I guess that's fine. But technically speaking, I tend to try to be a little bit safer. I create the new private key, write down, back it up. It's safer. So there we go. Engine wallet checking there. They already included around, I think, 300 something coins up there. There's, to all you VeChain fans, they don't have VeChain. I've been trying to harass their guys to include VeChain onto the Engine wallet. That's something I'm looking into as well. They also got one of the most secure keyboards. They made their own keyboard. I think this is quite important as well. A lot of people were asking me why did they create their own keyboard? The reason why is because when you type in your password, when you type in certain phrases, even when you're importing wallets, if you have a different keyboard, sometimes they might potentially monitor what you're typing in. So obviously, if you trust the app, you're going to trust their keyboard. That's an obvious thing. So they have their own secure keyboard. It's even got randomized keys if you're really that hardcore. Like if you're afraid that people are recording you, it can even random the position of those keys. That's going to be utterly insane. I don't really do that. because it's too crazy. It's like they thought about everything, guys. So anyways, that's my two cents. We got different people talking about I'm very excited for South Korea. I'm very excited to show you guys what's happening there. I hope we get live. I hope we get good internet there to do live episodes. It's going to be really exciting. It's going to be very different. You know, this is reminiscent of the time I went to New York, you know, took you guys around, did live episodes in New York. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's a lot different. It's going to be a changing pace as well. It's going to be very, very exciting. So upcoming videos, I definitely want to finish my video on Gatcoin. So this is just a conclusion of today's episode. I definitely want to finish my episode on Gatcoin. I was looking into this before the token sale, but unfortunately, like I said yesterday, their token sale didn't even start. Their token sale was basically said, yeah, we raised enough money in our pre-round. So congrats on anyone who got in on their pre-round. Gift cards. They basically raised enough to say, yeah, guess what? We don't need any more money. So I respect their team for that. I think this is one thing that I want to just call out and say, yeah, I respect you guys for not being greedy and doubling your cap. We've seen projects do that in the past, you know, last minute changes to the cap. It was one of the things I wasn't very happy to the Enigma team about. You know, I know why they did it, but, you know, I respect these guys immensely for not increasing the cap right now. They're basically saying, yeah, we raised in the pre-rounds, we raised 50% in the pre-rounds, but Ethereum, the price basically quadrupled in that time, so we don't really need any money anymore. So we're not going to do a token sale. It's unfortunate, but I really want to commend them for doing this. That's something I really respect. Also, of course, I'm trying to do a video on Trinity. I want to go to Neo DevCon. These are the two ICOs I've been looking at, but, of course, they're not accessible. Obviously, I'm going to find some good ICOs for you guys if you guys are interested in that. I've been talking that it's ICO season again. Obviously, ICOs are extremely risky. People have been talking about Trinity. Trinity blew up the Neo network. Everyone's so excited for it. It just caused almost insane amounts of traffic on there, but I do want to say that this is a scaling solution. It's meant to help Neo come to the next level. We have Raiden as well on the Ethereum network with Lightning coming this year. They're going to make a Trinity wallet, so they're going to allow people to use the Trinity state channels and they're going to use that wallet coming up soon. These are things that I want to follow this year. Guys, thank you so much. I'm going to do some questions and answers right now, and then I'm going to finish this session. I'm going to try to make easier sessions, faster sessions nowadays. It's going to be very, very cool. We've got Crypto Godfather. Thanks for tweeting. I've been very good. I've got two of your top coins, NGIN and ICX. Awesome. and I've seen you are going into Venn as well, VeChain. So it's going to be a really fun time this year. Yeah, so I've been following very people on Twitter. My Twitter followers just exploded this month. I think I'm just really excited for all the new people coming into Cryptocurrencies. I basically had 12,000 last year. This year, basically, I'm all the way up to basically 27K. Thank you guys so much for subscribing. We also have YouTube as well. Thank you guys all for subscribing. We're pretty much, I was looking at my channel chart. We're almost at 157K, guys. Man, thank you guys so much for subscribing to this channel, man. Smash that like button, please. This has been great, phenomenal year. Been very excited this year, man. This year has been just really exciting. So smash that up that YouTube as well. Let's take all these thumbs up to around 500. Yeah, you guys are smashing that. We can see that live. Do that right now. We need some more stuff. This is all for you guys. This episode was all about the community coin icon. I'm very, very interested. Thank you guys for getting me on this. Thank you guys so much for subscribing, hitting that notification button. We're going to take this channel to the moon. This is going to be community events. We're going to do top picks as well. I'm going to try to get in on some of the latest ICOs and share that with you guys. The exclusive ones, cool ones. Not just Kodak. Telegram is okay. I'm not really a big fan of Kodak ICO, to be honest. I think they just stuck their name on something that was already not too successful. But they matters though. But they matters. But anyways, finding you some good projects, pushing crypto. It's going to be a hard year too. So this year, it's going to be, just a warning for you guys, it's definitely going to be a hard year. We've got tons of new money coming in. That means tons of weak hands, tons of volatility. The volatility is not going to go down. It's only going to go up. We also have, of course, potential flood events coming from South Korea. This is why I want to go there. Get a kind of local, underground reporting. We've already seen blood today. We're already seeing blood today. But of course, that is where it's happening. You know what? So Nate's asked, when does Box Money ICO Bayview? I kind of tried out the Waves platform. This is kind of cool. Just to show you guys, Waves has a decentralized app. This was very, very cool. I created a crash token. That's last week. We can follow that a little bit as well. I've been playing around with it. It was a very educational token. Basically, you can create your own asset on Waves platform. You can name your asset. You can number of tokens. You can issue, reissue, number of decimal places. So I made my own. It's called the crash token. Technically, right now, we should just be pumping that crash token because the markets are crashing. It was just a joke, guys. So anyways, it gets instantly listed on the Waves decks. I don't know why. It's a little bit slow for me right now. Yeah. All right. I'll show you guys this later. I'm checking what's happening with my internet connection. Maybe their network is a little bit slow. Excitement for Waves. They've been recently deploying a lot of upgrades on the Waves platform as well. They're really taking this to the next level. All right, guys. Rant says, Codec not stupid. Yeah, they're not stupid, guys. They basically brought something that is awesome back. Something that has a lot of memories associated, the Codec moment. And they brought it back to life. Obviously, I've been reading, of course, a lot of DP review. You know, I'm a photographer. I look into, of course, photography equipment. You know, this was a thing I was reading this morning. Obviously, the photographers are angry. They're claiming that, of course, Codec itself didn't do it. And they're just rebranding everything. Codec. This is a cool article if you guys want to check it out. This kind of summarizes what photographers think about this project. I'm a very, very big DP review fan. I look into cameras and stuff. Obviously, Codec is a big brand name coming into this. So, I'm pretty sure, of course, they're just going to have a cult following. That's for sure. But, I think, you know, a lot of photographers are a little bit angry. They're basically saying, yeah, Codec Minor, come on. Come on, guys. It's just Ant Minor. It's just Bitmain with their logo stuck on. I guess. But, you know, hardcore photographers, you can't dissuade them anyways. So, that's what hardcore photographers kind of think. I trust these guys on DP review. So, guys, the next community coin is coming. So, we have this huge list here. You know what? Let's do the next one. Let's do the next community coin while we're here. So, obviously, what I'm going to be happening is if I draw something that's repeated, I'm not going to put it up again. So, these are the rules for the competition. So, we're going to do phase two. Guys, I hope you guys are excited. Phase two of the community coin competition. It'll be held on YouTube again. I'm going to use the YouTube voting features. So, let's just check it out. Let's just put these coins on. This list will be built up over time. So, if you guys want to contribute to this list of coins that I'm going to draw out and get a competition going, I'm going to duke them out. This is the fairest way I'm going to do it. It's on live. There's no vote, you know, hacking or anything like that. This is on the live channel. We're going to visit this. We're going to check this out. So, let's see forums. So, it's on the community forums. I'm going to post a thread here if you guys want to make a comment here. Boom. So, that was last week. This week, we're going to pick five new ones. This list gets updated and upgraded over time. This is for coins that are now on the market. So, these are coins that are released. Okay. So, let's take a look. We're going to do this live. Okay. So, community, vote on your, you know what? I'm just going to copy this. Ha ha. On the coin. This is number two. Vote for, vote for your favorite coin. Number two. And I'm going to put the website there as well. So, this way, you guys can add coins on. So, we can all, as a community, add coins. And then, we're going to have a competition. We're going to duke it out. Share it with your community, guys. Get that vote possible. I want to see what's causing fire. This, Icon was a great choice. I looked into it. I'm thoroughly impressed by Icon. And then, of course, you guys know your stuff. So, I'm going to probably throw 1,000 Fiat USD into Icon. We're going to track it out throughout the year. I think this is what I'm going to do with all the coins. I'm not sure with, I want an easy place to show it. So, we'll see what happens. Okay, let's see. We got favorite coin number 2. Let's take what is the number 1 coin right now. Random coin picker. Bread! Bread! Yum! Delicious! Bread. B-R-D. Alright, we got first pick, Bread. A lot of people have been asking about Bread for a while. So, we got Bread coming up. Alright, second coin. We got Ember coin. EMB. Alright, don't know much about Ember coin. So, if you guys are Ember coin fans, let's go for it. Particle part. Ooh, this is going to be an interesting competition coming up. We got Salt. Oh my god, Salt. Salt is something that I really want to talk about. It's Eric Voorhees. You can, I think, you can basically put your crypto there and get real loans coming out. So, if you want to buy a house or anything and you don't want to sell your cryptocurrency, Salt's a solution. It's about, it's a loan, crypto backed loans, man. That's next level. You know, Eric Voorhees, he created ShapeShift, which is a great way of trading and of course, he created Salt as well. I think it's going to be a very interesting competition. So, we got Bread, we got Ember coin, we got Particle, we got Salt and what's the last one, guys? What is the last one? We got Ark. Alright, Ark there. Wow. Ark, Ark has been strongly requested as well. We got one comment calling out, Dragon Chain. Dragon Chain is something that I've been looking into especially since my friend made the bank on Dragon Coin. You know, he got there early in the Dragon Coin ICO. It just blew up completely. You know, this is going to be fun. So, we got Community Coins coming in. It's drawn randomly. So, this is done live. Absolutely. I have no control over what's happening. This is all random. We just basically have the list. The list gets added and it gets built up over time so you guys can put suggestions. We have so many suggestions on here on the forums. So, this is chosen by the community members by you guys on the forum. This list gets updated. We get a community. We get a vote, the name picker because only 5 coins can get on the YouTube vote at the same time. So, we basically fill that up and then we're going to do a vote. The first vote was icon. That's what I talked about today. We're going to post this. Get your guys, get voting guys. Let's do this. Wait, sorry. Alright, get voting guys. So, this is where you get your communities up. The second vote, number 2, is up on the Box Mining Community tab. It's on the channel. So, if you guys check out the channel, it will be here. So, you know, we're going to see what's going to happen, man. I'm really excited. This is number 2 community vote competition. Noob! Saw was last last week. Oh, fudge. Sorry, guys. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. That was stupid. Okay, TV problems. I instantly deleted that. I'm so sorry about that, guys. That was listed last week. This happens yet again. Oh, my God. Idiot. Box Mining's an idiot. Alright, guys. Let's see. Last week. Oh. Fudge. Alright. Bread. Okay. It's okay. It's okay. Not the end of the world. Not the end of the world. Alright. We'll vote for your favorite coin. For your favorite coin. Number 2. Got this done. Therefore, sure, we don't want to salt there. I said, you know, I shouldn't be on there. Thank you so much for your suggestion, guys. Well, we got used to it. Yeah, we messed up last week, too. We messed up last week. Do you guys remember what was the one I messed up on? Yeah, guys. So, yeah, we got bread. We're gonna keep at a poll. We're not gonna redo everything. We're gonna add this. Got bread. BRD. Bread. BRD. Ember coin. EMB. Particle. Particle. PRTP. Part. Another option. ARK. ARK. It's gonna be interesting. Particle. Low supply coin. ADA. We're gonna do a last one. You know what? I'm gonna do something controversial here. Because last week I messed up as well. This is a stark reminder to me messing up last week. Last week we drew a coin and then we didn't feature it because I got confused between icon and icon X. So, I'm gonna find that video and I'm gonna put the one that I didn't manage to make the list that I said I'll do. I'll put that on. So, let's just take what happened last week. So, this is gonna be controversial, guys. But I think it's only fair. So, let me just try to find that video. You're gonna find it. So, sorry about this, guys. And this makes more sense. Okay, it was Ubic. Alright, guys. So, last week I messed up. Alright. So, basically I made one, I drew two icons, but one was iconic and one was icon. and then of course I drew Ubic. So, basically I had to redo. This is the second time I redid this. Teething issues, guys. But I definitely did draw Ubic. So, this was a reminder that yeah, I drew Ubic. Salt's not on there because Salt was picked last week. And then we're gonna do Ubic. So, so sorry about that. I think now we're pretty much on the random draw order. Ubic is I think Ubic is gonna be interesting as well. Alright, there. Alright, guys. Sorry if you, I had to discard the vote. Because Salt was there twice, you just can't let that happen. It was already on the selection criteria here. Power Ledger, sorry you guys didn't make it. But we're gonna do more voting. I think I'm gonna do some voting on Twitter as well. This is gonna be a really fun blast time. So, Community Coin number two voting starts now. Alright. Salt Community gonna get more salty now. I might buy some salt actually. I might buy some salt. Salt's been very interesting. It's something that I missed out on. It's something there are so many boats I missed. I mean last year. so a lot of people probably saw Daniel Castanoli coming on from Exodus wallet. He's like I'm good friends with Eric Voorhees. You might check out salt at that time. So obviously at that time I was overcrowded and I didn't do it. so you know. Daniel you were trying to make me rich but I missed the boat on that one. Obviously yeah I'm really good friends. I like very beautiful wallets if you guys haven't noticed. I do all these videos about wallets for free and stuff. Exodus was one of the wallets PC wallets I support and I use. It's very very beautiful. Got a very clear interface. I thank the guys at Exodus as well. They got a box talking to me telling me about salt. I didn't go into it. So yes community salty. I'm probably salty for missing out on salt. But I think this is a good learning point. So we have basically a lot of boats in cryptocurrency. There's a lot of things you can get on both active coins ICOs whatever is out there. We're in a crazy market. There's so many boats the fear of missing out might get the better of us. But the problem is of course the fear of missing out makes you not research a coin properly. There is for sure and we've been talking to Julian as well Julian from 10X Julian Haas he also is talking about this kind of the rising water lifts up all the ships but the problem is of course what happens when the water stops rising there is going to be a point in cryptocurrencies there's no getting around this that we're going to go through hardships today is a mini hardship today we've seen little dips we've seen a slight recovery we're going to see a little bit of volatility but if you are new to cryptocurrencies this is nothing yet this is nothing we've seen 50% crashes we've seen 57 sorry like 50% more inserting a doubt especially because mainstream media is there I'm not a biggest fan of mainstream media and I guess this was a demonstration last time of the whole Korean thing we saw so many sensationalist articles coming up with major inaccuracies especially when it comes to the China ban on mining I have no idea why they're talking about that why they think that's a factor it is not a factor at all so anyways mainstream media they're probably very confused about what this whole thing is it's time to educate them it's time to take this to the next level time to bring them to real knowledge so thank you guys we see ARK going up ARK has got a lot of fans we got bread bread is delicious really bad joke guys really really bad joke but bread recently ICO on and I saw it on Binance as Binance of course I've been checking out KuCoin recently guys be careful when you search for KuCoin there's fake ads out there I've been trying out KuCoin as a new platform they is integrating a lot of new coins I mean obviously people were very impressed at KuCoin and SelfKey got on almost immediately after ICO that was like the fastest time basically ICO from ICO to listing and to making money that was hilarious not the biggest supporter of that because I support projects in the long run but of course people are loving that so KuCoin is very interesting they're a new exchange check that out if you guys are interested obviously there's still teething issues with these exchanges why I'm talking about new exchanges there's also cross as well cost cost the ILO there are new exchange coming up why I'm talking about the new exchanges is because of course what you what Icon said is very correct we basically created exchanges became a centralized community basis and that's something that we should break apart whether through Icon or supporting different exchanges they had this video they like exchanges are now the center of power we need to talk about different exchanges I'm still on Binance I'm still on these I'm using multiple exchanges trying these out for you guys do note of course exchanges are extremely dangerous they are centralized point they are point of weakness they are point of attack for hackers guys be careful if you want to store your cryptocurrencies what I support is support long-term storage on ledgers because ledgers basically the private key never leaves the device if you want something that's usable on a daily basis check out Exodus if you're on a PC check out engine wallet if you're on the mobile you get to store your tokens here they got even their own browser as well they got their own blockchain browser you can browse that information and of course it's blazing fast right now it's probably one of the most trending mobile apps they're also coming up a PC wallet too so it's going to be very intense for wallets and everything so it's going to be really exciting I'll leave the links down below it's going to be really fun Exodus was something I supported for the longest I'm supporting as well I use it today this is one of the first wallets I got into the user experience is very important it's in a way in a way when I started we just had command line Bitcoin wallets those are secure but honestly I hated using them I'm a big person for having good user experience check out Exodus check out engine wallet if you're on the phone getting a good experience for wallet is important I've also tried Metamask not the biggest fan mostly because I don't know why their interface is so hard to refresh I'm not sure if you have the problem as well but anyways that's it for me ranting guys thank you guys so much for watching thank you we got reps saying never trust mainstream media for sure man thank you so much
