>> All right, Champ. Let's um That was a good roll call.

>> Okay. All right. Well, listen. Welcome, family. We are glad you guys are all here. Now, while everybody is still coming in, let me know this inside the chat. What made you sign up for this master class? Was it because you want to finally understand crypto? Was it because you feel behind? Was it because you want to understand what is happening with the financial system? Um, was it because you want to avoid mistakes? Or was it because you want to learn how digital assets connect to the future of money? I want you guys to drop it in the chat. Now, this is important because today it's not about pressure. It's not about excitement. It's not about chasing coins. Today is about clarity, right? We want to help you guys understand the new digital financial system in a way that is simple, practical, and is beginner friendly.

Um, now, one more thing before we bring Steve on. I want you guys to use the chat for quick responses and engagement. If something makes sense, I want you to type clarity. If you hear something that opens your eyes type system, if you have a deeper question and you want us to track or or or or anything that you guys are are dropping in there, place that question inside the Q&A box. We'll also have giveaways today for people who want to stay engaged. Um, ask strong questions and stay until the end. So, make sure you guys are all locked in. All right. Now, let's do a quick commitment check. If you are ready to learn, type I'm ready in the chat. If you are ready to get clarity, type clarity in the chat. That's what we're here for today. Clarity over confusion, education over guessing, understanding over uh overstanding before action. All right, let's get started. Let's get started, y'all. I see y'all in the chat. I'm ready. Ready.

So, guys, just take note again. I just want to repeat it. Um, we have a giveaway at the end, but the people that qualify are going to be ones that kind of stay on for the ride. All right, we got about 90 minutes of of information strap on. We have polls that we're going to be taking in the chat. So, it's going to be interactive um along, you know, alongside you learning. I also threw in a bonus uh for everybody that's on the call today. So, that wasn't initially told to you guys. So, when we get to that point, you'll have the file. Anything that we drop, we just want you guys to download it. It's yours for ownership. Uh regardless if you stay on the ride with us or not. All right. We just wanted to always lead with value at at the academy.

>> Absolutely.

>> All right, champ. I think it's time to let's let's start our first poll. We want to kind of see where we're meeting everybody right now.

>> Okay. All right. Let's get to it. All right, family. Before we go deeper, I want to see where everybody is starting from today. We know everybody is coming into this master class from a different place. Some of you may be brand new. Some of you may already own some digital assets but still feel like you need more clarity. And some of you may understand the basics but you need structure. And some of you are here because you want to understand how all of this connects to the future financial system. So I'm going to launch a quick poll. Choose the best answer that best describes where you are right now in your digital asset journey. Okay, they're coming in.

>> Yeah,

>> it's almost half and half between brand new and some people that already have digital assets.

>> Yeah, interesting. No one's really looking to see how it connects to the future financial system.

>> Yeah.

>> Which is what gives you the most clarity.

>> Okay.

>> Go ahead, J.

>> That's good. All right. So, this is helpful. Um, what this does is it shows us that we have people at different levels and that's exactly why this class is structured the way that it is. Whether you're brand new, whether you already bought digital assets before, or whether you have been learning but still need more order, the goal today is the same. We want to give you clarity. We want to give you structure. And we want to help you understand the bigger system that is being built. Because one of the biggest mistakes people make in this space is trying to jump into action before they understand the foundation. Today, we are going to slow it down and build the right way. So, if you're brand new, you're in the right place. If you have some experience, but you still feel confused, you're in the right place. And if you're trying to understand how this connects to the future of money, ownership, banking, and the digital economy, you are definitely in the right place. Now, let's officially begin with who we are, what Skitton Academy is, and why we created this master class.

>> Oh man, I appreciate that, champ. Um, engagement is high. Feels good. People are from all over America right now, which is a testament to what we've we you know, we've been doing for the last four years at Skitton Academy. Okay, so formally want to welcome everybody. Uh, my name is Steve Bon and this is the Crypto101 master class, financial literacy for the digital economy. All right. And I'm super excited because this is our first master class in I would say a couple years, right?

>> Yeah, absolutely.

>> Maybe over over two years. So, um, this is important, right? Because two years ago there was always the, you know, the administration wasn't really crypto friendly. Um, the news and headlines, you know, everything was a scam, everything was a memecoin. So, now things are kind of ironing out. We have the administration behind it. We have the institutional guys that are all talking about it on a daily basis. Now, where the confusion lies is what are they saying, right? Financial literacy is just that. It's a language.

Um, I just like to open up with this personal story. So, uh, class of 95 in high school, we I was born into the internet, right? My parents didn't know much about it. We didn't have a home computer at the time. So, this is when the internet was just in the 90s that that do was just was flowing, right? It wasn't fully connected because we didn't have home devices. We didn't have mobile phones like that. So, we weren't as connected to the internet as we were today. But there was a pivotal moment probably in my household, if I can ask both my parents where they were in in mindset, and most of our parents would probably answer the same thing. They probably had no clue that this system called the internet was being built.

Now, just imagine this. What if your parents or you in the driver's seat are able to be at the cutting edge of a new technology that's going to transcend the way that we do business? What advantage would it give you not only in your home, your your work space, your workplace, your your career, um decisions you have to make for for college, for your stu, you know, your your children. Um it is the ultimate cheat code, guys. Financial literacy is something that I would say it's a birthright, especially in America when we're talking about capitalism and commerce and how all things um are connected to the financial structure, right? So that's that's why it's important for me and Champ to put on this class because that decision that was made in most households either transcended the family or it just kind of kept you in a situation where we're still trying to figure out one what financial literacy is and two how to really monetize in the internet. But those guys that invested early in Apple, the guys that invested early in Amazon, the guys that connected the systems that then utilized them in their business to get a competitive advantage, they were probably the ones that won in the 90s and the 2000s.

So now we're at the precipice of the next biggest change in history, right? This is the first time of our generation that the monetary system is being is being, you know, this chinks in the armor. It's going to reset for sure. So we're just here today to just like Champ said to just give that clarity. Decisions change circumstances, guys. All right. The toughest part about today is compared to yesterday was lack of information. Right? Today we have too much information. So now you have to decipher, okay, who has the right information? So our biggest thing is teaching people how to think, how to ask the right questions, not giving you what project we feel is the project. And that's what we, you know, base all our teachings on at Skyen Academy is making sure that whoever we teach has the keys to be able to question anything that comes in front of us from a noisy environment that we can't control. All right, so I want you guys to strap in. We got about 90 minutes with us and we're gonna flow nice on this one. All right.

So before I get into the teaching, um I just want to get, you know, just a few minutes to introduce like who we are and what Skype Academy is. All right. And even why we created the master class. So Skype Academy was created about four years ago by Champ and I. And it was really to help everyday people understand the new financial system that was being built around us. But some of the challenges during that time was we were just coming off the pandemic, actually probably still in the pandemic at the time. Um there was a lot of noise and information online. We were competing with credit repair um I mean raising capital, trucking, Airbnb, I mean you name it. We were not as sought out um as most of these industries were at the time. No one really likes to think about the future when everything you need is in the immediate now. Okay? So we just had to wait. And I always told Champ, I said, "Listen, everything we did four years ago is going to start to come to fruition now." And you watch, there's, you know, a good amount of people on this call now. There's people in our inbox every day. Our community has been growing since day one. I could remember having two three people on the call when we first started uh four years ago. So, we're really hands-on and now our community has grown to over, you know, we've tens of thousands of students have come through our door in some form or fashion have connected with us. So, we're excited about this. So, we were just here, you know, we disseminated the information to make sure that the common person understands what's happening.

And because we understood um financial literacy in digital asset, I said champ, we just have to simplify it because that's what they do. They create jargon that they know people don't really connect with and then they put professionals in place to then manage your money. That's not the world that we're living in right now. Right now, you have to take full accountability for every aspect of your life. Your health, your finances, I mean, every decision has to be put on you. And the more information you have, the better informed you can be. All right? So, that's what the the the situation was. So our mission was to make education around crypto, digital assets, uh, blockchain, financial literacy, ownership, and the future of money easier for real people, everyday people to understand. All right? Not just traders, not the technical guys, and and not people who already know the language. All right? This is not for them. And the wild part about it, champ, in this journey that we've been on, I've realized that the people who are financially literate in the old system really don't know what's happening in this system. So this is where the advantage comes in. But I like to study the past, the present, and the future and and kind of give a better scope of things. And this is we we we use that in in all our practices. So history doesn't rhyme, but history does have patterns. And you start to see it and and we'll just we're connected to the patterns. The one thing I want you guys to um be aware of is I always said this from day one, we have a lot of keys and information, right? The main thing that we are looking for when we are studying this micro and macro is the keys to the back door. Right? What do I mean by that? Anybody who's building the system at the time will never trap themselves into it. Right? That's why the more you know, the better informed you could be, the better decisions you can make.

So when you look at the 1%, there's nothing different that they do from us. We have the same amount of time. What happens is their flow of information is a bit different, right? And they don't always move on things first either because I can tell you Champions been in this for 11 years. I've been in it for 11 years. The current people that are speaking on cryptocurrency today were not fans of it just three years ago. They called it a scam. They called it a Ponzi. But what they were doing all along were they were building it. They just didn't need they didn't want to cosign it. The one thing about billionaires, guys, don't assume that they're the smartest guys in the room. Yes, they're great at what they do, but they don't know all things. Okay? and a billionaire will never give you advice on something that he or she cannot make money on. It's all about domination for them. So, Champ and I have democratized this. We have no allegiance to any one project. Um, we give it to you in the way that we present it from years of decade of data that that's been disseminated. Okay. So, this is why we built the academy.

There's a lot of confusion out there right now, guys. There's a whole bunch of crypto influencers and I knew this was going to pop out the woodworks. But again, I'm not I don't know everything that goes on the internet, but I can tell you there's two brothers on here that have put time in the market combined, right? So, it's one thing to do it separately. It's another to bring it together to then create product for people to better understand it. All right? So, this is why we teach structure. This is why we focus on clarity like Champ was saying. So, for those of you who don't know us or who are new to us, um, just drop a one in the chat if you're new to us. Um, my name again, Steve Bon. I'm one of the co-founders of Skitton Academy. Like I said before, I've been in crypto for over 11 years. I've been an entrepreneur for over three decades. All right. In a slew of things, guys. So, real estate development, business, consulting, marketing, trading, um, consumer goods and products. And then lastly is my latest venture, which is a a resort owner in um, in Colombia, the continent of South America. So, we're we're going into hospitality now. Um, international. All right.

So, when I first started studying crypto, I saw much bigger I saw it much bigger than coins at the time. It wasn't this much information out there. It was like Bitcoin, it was ETH, it was XRP. It was a really small market, right? Crypto starting 2008, first block 2009. Champ and I, we got in around what?

>> 2015 is when I got in. Yep.

Um, so I saw the shift in money. I saw a shift in ownership and access. And that was important being an entrepreneur. I didn't know really how to get capital back in those days. But I did say when I first heard the tech, I said, "Listen, if they can pull this off, this will definitely level the playing field." All right? And that's that's what I loved about the technology. That's what kept me on the ride for so long. All right? And then I saw that the people who understood this shift early had a better chance of preparing for what was to come. So me being a visionary, I tend to see things before the normal person sees it. This is the first product that I've looked at that has surpassed how I've thought before. So this is why I love it. It's it's able to show me not only the financial structure, but how just business and commerce and everything is going to move across the globe. All right. Um so that's what also kept me on the ride. But I also saw a major problem with cryptocurrency. The information was either too technical, too scattered, too emotional, or too focused on speculation. So, I always told Chant, listen, we're not going to lead with lifestyle. We're just going to give it to them straight and and how it's supposed to be and and and not give too much handholding when we get the information out there. Teaching people a new way to think, teaching people what old money was because in order to understand new money, you have to understand what the old system is. So, this is what we're going to do on day one today is understand what the old system was and then how the connection points are. And then day two tomorrow we'll get into some more practical stuff on what we can actually do. All right. So good amount of people don't know about us which is great.

>> Yeah.

>> Um so part of my mission became in helping everyday people understand this space in a way that's practical, simple, and just connected to real life. So that's what I do. I just simplify things to the most common denominator. I've always done that in life. All right. Um so now we have my co-founder guy right here. He's been with me for four years. we connected since the first call. Uh, Champ Bobbit, right? So, Champ like me is been in crypto since uh for 11 years. So, that was a a common point that hit. The thing about cryptocurrency, guys, is we know the second that somebody opens their mouth whether or not they know what they're talking about because that's how long we've been in the market. It's like anything when you've felt like you perfected something, you know, if somebody's on your level. And I knew Champ um was at the level where I was at um and vice versa. And that's what created this connection. So again, Champ 11 years in the game. Uh so before Excite Academy, Champ spent years working as a defense contractor in Afghanistan and he did um tactical operations and supply management. So Champ was at a crossroad too because he could have went back overseas to continue and we met and he decided to stay on the ride and start a brand new company from scratch, guys. We had no real um company really formed. So we were building it at that point. We did have some product and we were just refining and and tooling things up and building the community. So, um, Champ left the defense contracting to work on Skype Academy. He's been here four years with me and and you know, the mission stayed strong, right? So, he sacrificed also.

Um, when Champ came into crypto, he bought a different lens to the space than I did, right? He looks at the systems. He's a deep data guy. He looks at the real world problems, uh, market trends, um, projecting, you know, fundamentals. So, for me, it's one of those innate situations. For him, it's one of those drill down. So, now you have two guys, one that could feel and one that can see, and then when you bring it together, it's kind of a problem. All right. Um, so his ability to study information, connect dots, and understand what's happening beneath the surface has become like beneath the surface has become like a major major part of what's inside of Skite Academy. All right. So, together we've been teaching students roughly going on about four and a half years.

>> Yeah.

>> Um, and again, we've helped thousands of people just just create a strong foundation in cryptocurrency. All right. So, you can understand this new financial system. And guys, understand, I'm not talking about how much money we've made people. I'm talking about the foundation, right? Um, because without that, you could you could be this this industry could shake you out of your bag. You know, what they say may not be what they're saying. So, we we teach you who these guys are. um how they connect dots, what they really mean by it. All right? So, they're not trying to keep us so close to the information unless you want to find it. So, that's what Champ and I do. So, when you rock with us, you get time in market, right? So, that 11 years I put in, that 11 years champ put in, it's like we're passing it along to you. We've lost hundreds of thousands, which might be tens of millions of dollars in this industry in the future when it grows. So, we kind of know what we're doing. We weren't just investors who were just putting money in projects. We were moving in every facet and asset um that that came along in cryptocurrency, good, bad or indifferent, right? We wanted to really learn it. And sometimes you learn by taking losses. Um but it's never a loss. It's always a lesson which then makes our product a lot better. And we're able to save people thousands if not millions of dollars in in headaches, you know, today and in the future.

All right. So, we're not here to tell you what to buy, guys. Again, we're not here to give you financial advice. Um, we don't want to make this seem like it's easy and risk- free, okay? What we are doing is we're going to help you understand what to look out for. All right? Because when you start to understand the systems, you ask better questions. That's what we're here for. All right? When you understand the language, you stop feeling loss. All right? When you understand risk, you move with more wisdom. All right? So, we're passing it along to you. Do not worry about it. All our first students four and a half years ago said this is like uh Chinese

>> and it's wild to think that they would say a foreign language. So that means that financial literacy is a foreign language in a country where we need so much access to just live right or thrive, right? And it's not all about money, guys. What I'm telling you is cryptocurrency is tech. They're tech companies. All right? So that's that's some of the myths that you hear. People are just confused. They think it's like so much forms of money. No, it's it's it's really not. They're technology companies that the assets hold value in the form of coins and then you're able to purchase for goods or services or swap out. That's it. Same thing when you own stocks. You can turn those stocks to cash by either selling it or borrowing against it. Cryptocurrency just changes the technology with all things in the world. It's not just creating something new. It is going to change every facet of our lives. All right. Can anybody remember when we went from cash to debit and what that feeling was in the beginning? Right? We thought it was a tracking system. We said, "No, hell no. We'll never use debit." And and what happens now? Put a one in the chat. If you are using more cards than you are cash today. And can anybody give me a day and time when that light bulb went off and we went almost cashless in society? It's been a slow grind over time, right? Every year there's been something. And then once the pandemic came, that was they were able to slow the cash down even more because now you're starting to see cashless registers. And so slowly you're looking at them taking money out of circulation, right? To ramp up for the next system. Okay, this is what we call the uh great wealth transfer. All right, so when people understand the new system, you understand how to move better in it. So over the course of the next two days, guys, this is exactly what we're going to do. All right, day one is about the past, the present, and the future of money. Day two is how to navigate the opportunities, the risk, the ownership, the security, um, and what your next step should be.

All right. So, we don't want anybody leaving out of here with less clarity than they came in with. Trust me on that. As long as you stay and you pay attention, you'll be fine, guys. We do have a 20 after the day two, you have 24 hours to watch the replay again. Everything will be sent to you automated. All right? You do have an option to get a lifetime situation, but I'm letting you know that when day two ends, you're going to have 24 hours to watch both day one and day two again. So, take some notes. We have some things to give you today, and then we have a bunch of polls that we're doing. All right. Um, so as we go through this, just just stay engaged in the chat like Champ said. Um, don't feel like you have to understand everything at once, guys. We understand that this is a lot of information. This is why the replays matter because you want to be able to go back. Okay? No confusion, no pressure. All right? Keeping it simple. All right, champ. We got a couple giveaways.

>> Yeah. Let's get into them.

>> This is for everybody that stays on till the end. Right. Those are the people that were clocking. Yep. All right. So, listen. Now that you all know who we are, why we created this master class, let's talk about something extremely important. We want you all to stay engaged today. Not just because of the giveaways, but because this information builds on itself. If you miss pieces, it can be extremely harder to put those dots to together or connect those dots. So, today we're going to reward people who are active, focused, and committed to finishing day one. So, we have two giveaways today. The first giveaway is for the people who are attending the free master class. One person who stays until the end of day one will win access to our private YouTube learning channel. Um, that channel gives you additional beginner friendly videos to help you keep learning, review key concepts, and get you more comfortable with the language of crypto and digital assets.

Now, the second giveaway is for our VIP members. Everyone who upgrades to VIP during the live class will be entered into our VIPonly giveaway for the nine-part crypto foundation course. That is our deeper step-by-step course where we walk through the foundation in a structured way including the crypto basics, your sectors, securities, scams, your wallets, crypto exchanges, research, and code storage. So, if you are here for free, stay engaged because you can win access to the private YouTube learning channel. And if you're all if you're already know that you want the replays, the bonus training, the time management resources, um the private intro education library and access to the VIP only day one Q&A, then upgrading to VIP also enters you into the VIPon giveaway for the nine-part crypto foundation. So, here's how we get the most out of today, right? Stay until the end, participate in the chat, ask thoughtful questions, take notes, and most importantly, stay locked in because the people who finish are the people who get the most clarity.

And just to be clear, the VIP giveaway is only for the VIP members. So, if you want to be entered to win the nine part crypto foundation, make sure you upgrade to VIP during the live class. Now, before we officially get into the first teaching section, I want to briefly show you the VIP option because many of you are going to realize very quickly that this is the information you will want to revisit. All right, guys. We just um you had the email. We had a good amount of VIP sales preclass. Uh the upgrade is going to stay there. Um you should see upgrade to VIP and then you kind of get familiar with it. All right. This is where the conversation gets started.

Now, all right. So, what I want you guys to do is I want to the point I want to drive home in this next section is understand that this is bigger than just any crypto project, guys. I'm not talking about Bitcoin. I'm not talking about XRP. I'm not getting into that. That has nothing to do with foundation. So once you get involved in that tribal situation, you're going to hear two sides to a different coin and 90 million stories and most of them sound great to somebody who doesn't know what's happening. All right, so we're just focusing on foundation right now. It is important guys. I don't think there's another important topic that's going on in the world today outside of the changing of the financial system. And the reason I say this is because it's only um there's there's a selected few that are able to even one wrap their head around what's happening and two have deep insight into what's happening too. I want to say about 9% of the world population is invested in cryptocurrency. But when you look at the 9% of the world population is probably only maybe 2% of that 9% actually even knows what's going on. Not someone who bought, you know, Bitcoin and it's just sitting on Coinbase. That's not someone that knows what's going on. Okay? We're talking about a deep understanding of these markets.

So, what Champ and I did was, and many people think we have crystal balls, but there's nothing special, right? Firstly, we're just interested, right? Where your time goes, your time goes, right? We're focused on this. Um, what you focus on expands. So, you think of 11 years, that's that's that's a marriage with this up and down. It's it's it's not the most um enjoyable thing when you're going through this looking at everything, but I'm grateful for it because we weren't ready that like I can see why it took that long. So when you think about Amazon, these are companies that are 25 years in the making. Apple, Google, Microsoft, these companies were not birthed overnight. So cryptocurrency being in its infasy stages still has only been around since 2009, right? So it has to be integrated into the world economy. So you don't just do something like that overnight. There's been a multitude of things that has happened to get us to this point to where implementation is is going to be here within the next year or two and it's already being implemented. It's a matter of just turning it on. Right? So the big picture this is this is why the conversation matters.

All right? So before we talk about crypto, blockchain, digital assets, wallets or anything technical, we have to start with financial literacy. All right? Because if you don't understand what money is, it becomes really hard to understand what's happening in the digital space because they go hand in hand. This is the prerequisite, right? Um this is one of the reasons why so many people are confused, right, Champ? Who's your who was your first financial advisor?

>> Myself.

>> But even before that, before you even knew what that was,

>> it it would be

>> your first financial advisor was

>> it would be my parents right in the household.

>> Right now looking back on it, how did they prepare you?

>> No.

>> Were they financially literate?

>> No.

>> Yeah. My parents either they knew how to work for money and that was it. And then maybe a little bit of savings.

>> Yeah.

>> Which we know that you can't work or save your way to what?

>> Wealth. Did you ever hear that growing up?

>> Nope.

>> How differently could it have been if you were more financially literate then for today?

>> Extremely lifealtering.

>> All right, guys. So, all we're doing is planting seeds and we're waiting for the harvest. This is how life works. Okay. So, when our counterparts are already financially literate and they grow their children up in households that are already financially literate, you get what I'm saying? Like that's why there's such a disparity on top of other things. I'm not going to not hold them accountable for certain things, but I'm just letting you know now. Today with the internet and the way that information freely flows, it is our responsibility now to fix the problems of the past. No excuses, all accountability at this point. All right, we're just putting the information in front of you. So, let's slow it down a bit.

The world is moving into a more digital financial system, right? We understand that money, payments, banking, identity, um, and assets are all becoming more digital. Okay? And what you guys have to understand too is we have a lens on what the powers to be are going to do. Can you imagine governments are able to shut on and off access without court intervention, right? And we can't say that this won't happen because when we looked at the pandemic and we looked at certain a series of things that happened within the last six or seven years, you're starting to see a lot more um government and institutional control. We're on Instagram, but I don't really own my platform. They could cut the thing off at any point. I'm I'm constantly being violated for a multitude of things on a weekly basis. Right? So, we are using institutional products that we have no ownership in. We are just users. So, when you are users in a system, you need to understand how to make the system work for you and make sure that the system is not working against you. So, that's a big part of this guys. It's not about the money part because you can make all the money in the world, but if they block it, what are we talking about at that point now? And we know that with this system there is an on and off button for them to be able to block cryptocurrency by snapping their finger. Okay. So people who understand the shift will have a better chance of preparing. Right? Champ keeps you know he keeps harping on the clarity part and that's going to be you know one of our focus words here is going to be clarity.

All right. So we have accountability and we have clarity. Now that doesn't mean that you rush. It doesn't mean that you have to buy something today. you just you don't have to understand everything overnight. All right? But it does mean that you have to pay attention to the information that's in front of you. What happens is and with every one of our students is when they start to hear things or they see a news or they see an article come across, they're so well prepared, they don't need to come back to the community at that point now. They're able to just, you know, look at it, read it for what it is, ask the right questions, and know exactly how that article is trying to sway them. All right? Um, and everyday people can't afford to be the last ones to understand the system that's being built around them. Guys, we cannot enter a new system with the old ways. All right, that's been our biggest problem and that's why we can't close the wealth gap in this country. Okay, so this is one of the main reasons why financial literacy matters.

All right, it's not just knowing how to save, budget, and and and or build credit. That's that's dead, guys. We're moving to an assetbased society. All right, those things are still going to matter. But in this new economy, financial literacy also means what? Understanding how money moves, who controls the rails, right? Um what uh digital ownership actually means, how assets are being tokenized. It's another word that we'll go over, how blockchain works, how scams happen, right? The more you know, the better informed you are. How custody works. This is the first time that me and you, a common person, could own our own bank. Meaning money is not sitting somewhere. Because when you put your money in a bank, you honestly don't know where it's at. It's a it's a bunch of X and O's on the screen. What do they do? Fractional ownership. What do they do? They can borrow against the money that you gave them to then lend people on money and they make money. And then what happens? They give us what? Less than 1% back,

>> which is a joke.

All right. So, we know that these banks aren't working for us. The exchanges, they give us a card that we're able to use other places, but then they kill us on fees. Not the best type of business model for a common person. So now we have taught students not only the basis or the foundation of cryptocurrency, but now where we're at in the academy now is people are learning how to become their own bank, how to put it in in in LLC, how to put a trust layer on top of it. So we're not this is foundational. We are light years ahead right now, right? We're turning ourselves into companies because they have to treat us differently than if we were common citizens, right? So this is the great separator.

All right? So, you could be vulnerable to bad information, too, right? Emotional decisions. I'm online all the time. I see the scams, following the wrong videos. What gets the most likes and what people send me the most is the guy that says, "I turned $10 to5 million." Like, "All right, well, verify it on the blockchain." That's all you have to do. Anytime you see one of those things, go in the comment and say, "Hey, send me your wallet address. Let me verify that on the blockchain." They'll never do it. One, there's a security reason. You should never send anybody your your information. But if you're going to sell people on something, let's be honest about it. Let's at least be honest about it.

>> All right. Not everybody is making millions of dollars in cryptocurrency, guys. And for everybody who wins, that means that there's if I won 10 million, that means there's $10 million that came from somebody else that lost that. All right. So, who's on the right side of it? These guys are playing digital lottery, guys. Yes, there's money to be made in that space, but you actually could lose more than you actually win. All right. And it's all timing too in luck. Okay. So, this is about understanding the actual systems.

All right? So, we're not looking at coins that just go up and down. You miss the entire big picture. We teach you how to read these projects. A multitude of things that go into it. All right? So, the bigger picture right now is the financial system is being upgraded. Drop a one in the chat if you feel like something is changing with money. And drop a two if you're like, I I don't see a difference in money right now or I don't see something changing. chat, let me know what they what they look like.

>> We got you covered.

>> So, the way money moves, um the way assets are being recorded, um people's access to financial tools, um institutions interact with uh digital assets, all of it is changing right in front of us. Okay? And the way that everyday people prepare, you know, we have to change with the times also. But the issue is the information is not being taught to us, especially black and brown community. And this is why we chose this is more of a calling guys. I'll be honest with you. I've been in business for a long time. And I wouldn't have came into teaching to make like and I'm not saying that it's not it's impossible to do it. I'm just telling you that when you have a product that a lot of people don't care about. Your community and your base is is is a little lower than you know somebody else who chooses something that's a little bit hot in the moment. All right. Crypto is not hot right now. And crypto hasn't been hot since we've been in it. So imagine trying to teach people through something that is going to take we've been in 11 years. We still have a you know some more time but again our 11-year investments have already grown, right? Because we're getting in in early stages and it is still early, guys. I don't want you guys to think you have to rush. Okay? So we want to just give you guys order.

All right. Um there's a ton of stuff out there. champ. You have random videos, you have headlines, YouTube. I mean, you type in cryptocurrency, you will hear a multitude of things, good, bad, or indifferent.

>> Sure.

>> All right. So, what I want you guys to pay attention to is when you hear words like uh blockchain, stable coins, tokenization, digital ID, CBDC's, right? Central bank digital currencies, wallet custody, exchanges, DeFi. Um it all feels disconnected to most people, right? So, we're here to let you know that listen, all these words have definitions and there's easy ways to explain them. All right? Just don't get overwhelmed because if you step outside of it, it's happening with or without you. When people were against debit cards, how much do you think they fought, champ, to to hold on to that cash?

>> They didn't. It transition. It happened.

>> And now, when you can go to a register and there's no cash accepted, what do you think your options are at this point now?

>> Tap to pay or card.

>> There you go. And they're going to get us with convenience every time.

>> Every time. That's what technology is. But convenience is also stunts you in your innate ability to do for self. So just understand what's convenient today could also be cut off tomorrow. And that's the part that we focus on that nobody else is.

All right? So we're going to help you connect the dots. Um and then keep in mind you don't have to master everything in this session guys. This is this is this is framework. This is foundation. All right? We build on top of foundation. That's all we're doing right now. All right? So you're just going to build. So once the foundation is there, the rest of the information becomes easier to organize. Right or wrong, Chant?

>> Indeed.

>> Okay. We read the white papers, guys. You don't have to bore yourself with that stuff. We did all the heavy lifting with with the nonsense they they put in front of us initially. So what we did was we just simplified it and we're just giving you basically what you need. And I'm not saying that it's not good for you to read white papers. Just read them. It just it just takes time and bandwidth. It's not 140 characters on Twitter, right?

>> It's not a two-minute video. It's it's it's patience. Okay. Um, we can't have microwave mentality when it comes to financial literacy.

All right. So, financial literacy again in the digital economy means understanding how money, technology, and ownership and access all come together. This is what we're going to bridge. So, if you understand that, you'll be fine. You will not be confused.

All right. So, two things. Type the word system in the chat if you understand that the conversation is just bigger than just Bitcoin, XRP, or just any old coin that people talk about. And then give me a clarity in the chat if you think that uh if you see why foundation matters on anything that that was said prior to this moment here. How we looking

>> systems and before there was a bunch of ones. There was a barrage of ones and I'm seeing a lot of systems right now.

Okay. And and clarity in there as well. But there's a lot of systems.

All right. This a good time for our second polling?

Let's get to it. And guys, the reason that we're doing polling is because data is important to us. Because what we do with data is we we help build certain things and we makes our products a lot better when we understand where people are at. Because if you're not meeting somebody where they're at, then it's just a bore at that point, man. Just tuck me in. I'm done.

All right. What's this next poll?

All right. So, now that we've talked about why financial literacy matters, right? Why this shift is bigger than just coins. I want to ask you guys something important because if we're honest, most people have not avoided this space because they're not smart enough to understand it. Most people avoided it because the information was either confusing, scattered, or just difficult to trust. So, I'm going to launch another quick poll and I want you guys to choose the best answer that describes your biggest challenge when it comes to learning this space. All right, to drop that. All right, polls up live. So, some of your options are too much confusing. Too much confusing information online. Um, I don't know who to trust. That's a big one. I'm scared of making mistakes. Fear either pulls us away or towards something. Um, I need a step-by-step learning path. Or I started before but never finished. Yeah.

Which you think number one to be, champ?

Well, I started before but never finished.

They're still coming in.

Yeah, the trust part is important too, guys. Especially with the shift in like you know what they we would be considered influencers online if you met us on Instagram.

Um not a pocket that we want to be associated with. But again, we take it for what it is. What you guys have to do is is the discernment part. It's not the person that's on the other side of the camera. It's it's you now you have to take accountability. What made you trust this person? Was it because they were on a private jet? Was it because the the Rolls-Royce emblem was in the back seat while they're talking to you? Was it because you want their lifestyle? That's a problem. Just because you look rich doesn't mean you're smart.

True.

It doesn't mean you're rich either or wealthy. I think we can stop that there.

Okay. So 35%. Yeah. People start and don't finish. That's it's about right.

Yeah. All right. So this is exactly why structure matters. Right. Most people are not behind because they're incapable. They are behind because they were never given the right order. When you try to learn from random videos, headlines, um social media posts and influencers, um comment sections and opinions, it becomes overwhelming and fast. One person says one thing, another person says something completely different. Now you're confused. One headline makes it sound like the future. Another headline makes it sound like everything is dangerous. And when you're trying to learn from that kind of noise, it's hard to know what to believe, who to trust, and what step to take first. This is why we are slowing it down today. We are not starting with what to buy, charts, speculation. We're starting with the foundation because once you understand the foundation, you can begin organizing everything else that you hear. So, if you chose that you need a step-by-step path, that makes sense. If you chose that you don't know who to trust, that also makes sense. If you chose that you are scared of making mistakes, that definitely makes sense. And if you started before but never finished, that definitely makes sense. This space can feel heavy when you don't have structure. But today, we're going to keep building in order, right? And the next place we need to go is to the evolution of money. Because before you can understand digital assets, you have to understand that money has always changed.

All right, so this is where we get to the uh understanding how money has always changed and then understanding we're entering a new cycle, right? Because I know a bunch of people who are like, "Oh, the dollar the dollar as we know would never go away." The form of the dollar has changed over time. Okay, the one of the bonuses that we give you guys in the upgraded VIP was a 4-day master class that we put on guys. It literally took you through past, present, future. It showed you everything from the early days of of commerce to the bartering system to why it shifted, right? So, you understand as um the world starts to evolve, so does everything else around it. And money is one of those things, guys, that has an expiration date on it. So, because you know, we're entering a digital age, it only makes sense. And there's a lot of you have to understand the pain points that are happening in the financial system for you to then understand the importance and the rise of this new system that's put in place now.

All right. So this is where we're at. Okay. So the evolution of money. I won't go too deep into a lot of the nuances because a lot of that is in the 4day situation, but you you'll get enough on here to understand the big picture. Money has always changed, right? And the biggest shifts usually are tied to trust, right? currency. At the end of the day, anything could be currency. If Champ and I want to exchange hats, that's fair. As long as I'm okay with it and he's okay with it, that's a that's a that's an even exchange. My hat for your hat. The barbering system was one of the earliest forms of exchanges at the end of the day. But the one thing every currency from the beginning of time till now has to have is customer trust. Right? If there's no trust in it, then there is no currency at that point now. And this is where we're at. We're at the cycle of people not trusting just the currency and and and the economy that we're in right now.

All right? So money isn't always just currency. It's trust, right? Need you guys to write that down. So when trust weakens, systems start to do what? They start to change. Okay? So we started with a direct exchange in the beginning. All right. Champ, you're growing potatoes. I'm growing corn. Potato for corn.

Yep.

Right. We bartered and we made sure we had all our stuff. That was one of the earliest things was the bartering system. Okay. Now then you have um societies moved into and guys there's a multitude of things. I just need to paraphrase it just just for the sake of time. Um societies then moved into like gold and silver right because they were scarce and they were widely accepted. Again there was trust in what some people call God's money. Gold and silver. All right. Still to this day it's a big it's a big commodity. It's a big it's a big hedge against inflation. All right. From there we transitioned into paper money. Okay. This is um this became tied to now at that point paper money is tied to what? The banking system and then eventually the central banks. This is when the power started to grow. So every time currency changes there is a you know there's an empire that crumbles and then there's a new one that kind of comes up and this is where we're at right now in the cycle. Now we're looking at technocrats now are going to be the next powerful people to take us into the next hundred years.

All right. So, what you have to understand is this next contract that we're going to sign is probably going to be the biggest trap, right? Because it is a digital cage at the end of the day. All right? There's a difference. When you had your cash and you put under your mattress, you know, you would have to come to my house to get it. Today, that's not the case. So, imagine when money goes away. Where's our protection? Where's that little bit that you put away? That's the back door that I talked about in the beginning of the talk.

We have those keys to those back doors, okay? And we've we've shared them. I just need you guys to understand this too. If you go to our YouTube page, you know, Skype Academy YouTube page, you will find four and a half years of content. Everything that we know is on there. But the issue is, do people have time, right? This is why we create the formal master classes. This is why we create the Skitton Academy, you know, monthly membership. This is why we have one-off products is because when people don't pay for stuff, guys, I'll be honest with you, they don't pay attention at all. Because Champ and I's mission in the beginning was to just give it away.

And no one really cares because the value of zero is just that, right? But somehow someone could then have you buy a trucking course for 50,000 because you think you're going to make 50 million. Every outcome is going to be different, guys. All right. So, we transitioned into this paper money. We know these these banks, the banking system, eventually the central banks are controlling all the banks. Um then came the credit cards, the online banking, the mobile payments and the digital apps. That's what we call the fintech. All right? So we went from traditional banking to fintech, right? That's when financing meets technology. All right? That's the first phase of it. Understand how they are training us now because at the end of the day, we're already in a digital economy. Right or wrong?

Indeed. All right. So if you're not paying with cash and getting change back and the opposite of that is the digital economy. So we're already trained for the word wallet. in the last five years, right? A wallet is a place that you store something. I grew up a wallet was something physical that you put something in. Now, wallets are not physical.

Yeah.

They're digital. All right. So, you're already in cryptocurrency without knowing that you're in cryptocurrency. Same thing with AI. AI has been around since since 1957. We're just hearing the words now. So, you're just you think you're getting accustomed to it. All right. So, crypto didn't come out of anywhere. It's been part of a long evolution, right? So, when you connect the the uh fintex, you're just looking at the evolution of uh the monetary system. It's been happening. All right? So, here's some key ideas. Every monetary system, you can write this down, has a life cycle. I don't care what you say, every single monetary system has a life cycle. Every empire that you see that is in existence has crumbled. All right? There's always going to be a rise of somebody new. So over time, what debt builds, confidence weakens, and then people are looking for alternatives. This is the same cycle. It doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. All right? So that doesn't mean that overnight this system is going to collapse. It means that it starts to shift quietly, right? Because you don't want to panic and and and shut down all the banks. Forget about it. Be chaos out here. All right? So right now we're in one of those shifts. the US um dollar uh based system has been dominant for decades in the world especially since moving away from the gold back standard that we had prior. All right. So we are considered the world reserve currency meaning you transact in our stuff or you don't get protection. All right. So we we weaponize our dollar. So your pleasures in this world and you don't realize that until you start doing business in other countries. our pleasures in this world. Like when you guys think about this low inflation, think about there's some company countries that are 100% inflation, 150% inflation. You guys are crying at like seven, eight,

nine,

right? So the the pleasures that we have are because we're able to dump our bad debt on other countries and they're not allowed to use their currency. So imagine we could only use the Russian ruble and we didn't have an option in America to use anything else. That's what we do around the world. All right. So, fiat simply means it's money backed by government authority and trusts, not a physical asset like gold. So, for a long time, what happened? The dollar has been the world global reserve currency used worldwide for what? Trade, savings, and international transactions. That's what kept the dollar so strong. But then now that system's under pressure. Why? Okay. You have rising debt. You have increase in printing money since the pandemic. We've printed more money than we've ever had in circulation before, right? Um which does what? It reduces purchasing power. So it's not that things got more expensive. It's just that the dollar got weaker.

Yeah.

Right. So put a one in the chat if when you go to the grocery store, are you getting the same thing you got even a month ago when you're at the gas pump? I mean, literally, I'm seeing a 60% increase just in my gas prices from the time I purchased my vehicle. And that's been a few a short few years. You understand what I'm saying? So this is all what's happening right now. How's the chat going? Ch.

Everybody putting on one. No.

Yeah.

So check it. So if we're if we're going through it with our own dollar, imagine these other countries who have already had high inflation. So what these countries are starting to do is they're starting to question their reliance on the US dollar. So this is why you see wars happening. This is why you see expansion. There's no everything happens for a reason. We don't we're not just going to countries and removing presidents of countries for no reason, guys. This is about expansion, right? So, we could look at it one way and say, "Oh man, the United States is uh they're so terrible for this." But I'm telling you that everybody around the world is looking to grab as many resources as possible before this new digital stuff starts. Why? Because they're going to tokenize every asset. At that point, it hits a reset button. So, if we own the most oil, guess what? We get to tokenize that and we get to be a stronger economy. If we lose the race to this, and I'm not agreeing with our practices, but if we lose the race to grabbing as much minerals and things as possible, I can tell you that and I've said it before, America and the third world will turn into the first world and the first worlds will turn into the third world. And that's what's happening right now. You're seeing the rise of Africa because think about it. You when you're down low, all you can actually do is get higher. How much more valuable can America get at this point? Let's think. So even if my house was worth five times the amount tomorrow, what does it matter? Is there a buyer for it, right? Can I afford the debt to put on top of it to to get access to that? This is what's happening right now. The cost of living, the cost of car, like how much more expensive can America get? This is why I made the move to go outside the country. What did I do? I got trained in America. I made money in America. I took that money and I bought it to a market where the dollar was stronger. I was able to do more. This is why you see guys that are doing international business because when it's when it's high here, it's low there. When it's low there, it's high here. That's why these payments are important and the speed of it because money loves speed. And that's what cryptocurrency and blockchain technology offers. It offers a speed 247, right? Far from the days of having to carry cash, right? The 10,000 that you have to claim at the airport. Champ, how much money do you think you could bring through on a cold storage while go through an airport undetected? a trillion.

No one want to say anything.

Nobody would say a thing.

How powerful is that?

Next level.

So, think about it, guys. Just because we're not in the money game doesn't mean like we can't think as if we're in the money game. You have to believe this, guys. The issue with us is we're just bad stewards of our stuff, right? So even if I granted everybody wealth on here, I can tell you that within a week or two or a month that you're probably going to give it back. That's how it works. Okay. So this is where now there's a new term that's out there, dd dollararization. All right. This means basically countries are exploring ways to reduce the dependency on the US dollar. Right? So they're trading in what? Other currencies. They're going back to their own currency. They're building new payment systems. They're exp um exploring alternatives uh like gold and and digital assets. This is when you start to hear about Brrics Nation. Bricks Nation was started by who?

Shamp Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

And their whole thing is to do what?

DD dollar and and for them to transact and be in power. Step away from the dollar.

This is what Champ and I do. We study the the the micro and the macro, right? So to understand this has been done before in the past and the only issue with before in the past was Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, all of them looked to ddollarize and create a new currency which was going to be worked on with many countries. But what they did was they killed the head of the snake. But when Bricks Nation came out, you couldn't go to war with China, Russia, Brazil. Like you couldn't go to war with all these guys. Now we're talking about two superpowers between China and Russia.

All right. So the United States knew that this day was going to come. I think they're actually more shocked that it lasted this long, right? So, they're okay with it being another world reserve currency. They just need to control the rails. This is why it's important to invest in Americanmade cryptocurrency companies. Why? Because these guys are going to fight to use their power to make sure that those transactions still go through the rails. It's a control thing, guys, at the end of the day. Because when you control the rails, you control if Iran doesn't want to play nice, guess what? You cut off the rail. That's what they've been doing. So when you're watching the wars out here, just understand there's a bunch of small proxy wars that are going on and a lot of it is financial at the end of the day because if you have access to your finances, you'll be able to fight another day and live. But the minute they cut off your finances and you got to either go to court or find a judge or an attorney, like you forget about it. You are not going to fight a war without finances.

And you guys have to understand that we're in war right now. Not Iran, not Gaza. We we are in war right now. When you start to treat this the current system as war, you start to prepare better. But I can tell you that ignorance is not bliss moving forward. It's what? Dangerous. So play dumb if you want. So how we looking in the chat, champ?

They're locked in. They dialed in.

All right. So, what's happening? crypto, blockchain, stable coins, central bank, digital currencies, AI, the new payment system, right? It's not random. The timing is perfect. All right? They're all part of the broader financial transition. Guys, this is not something that's just happening in America. So, when we're talking about this, I need you to understand that this is every this is global. All right? This technology is global, right? I can take Bitcoin anywhere in the world, right, Jan?

Yep.

So, it's global. there's there's there's no need for anything. Once it gets integrated into the systems and we start using it as a means of exchange, no matter what those cryptocurrencies are, I'll be able to go peer-to-peer with Champ without a middleman in between asking for permission. It basically turns into a permissionless um society. Now, my question to you guys in the chat is, do you believe that the governments want us to understand this fully? Put a one in the chat if you think they want us to understand how to move permissionless, or put a two in if you think that they want to control us. let me know how I was looking.

Got you covered.

So guys, what we're doing today is we're showing you a new way to think about money. How it's stored, how it's transferred, how it's owned, right? So again, that's why we're not focusing on price movement. This is the new financial layer that's emerging during the time of change. This is where if you want money, this is where wealth is made through information and timing.

All all twos. Super sharp audience.

All twos.

All twos.

All right. So, they understand. Um, so this is where we are at, guys. We're we're in a transitional phase. You got one of two options. You could either figure this thing out or leave it alone. Either way, either way you're making a decision that's going to affect not only you but your children and and and in the next 20 30 next hundred years to be honest with you. All right. So people who understand this are going to move a lot easier, you know, moving forward. So simple takeaway guys, write this down. Money evolves. Systems have life cycles, right? The current system is under pressure. You guys agreed on that. And crypto and digital assets are part of the next phase. All right. So for us to move on, I just need a cycle in the chat if you understand that money has always changed based on the little bit that I gave you and then type system. if you think crypto is a bigger part of the financial shift. And the reason for the polls or or or just just the questions is one to keep you engaged and two it it helps us move on because if there's if we need to, you know, give a couple more data points, we don't have a problem doing that.

Absolutely.

Yeah, we getting them both cycle and system.

All right. So, we know that there's a system upgrade happening right now, Champ.

Absolutely.

All right. What you got for that?

So, before we move forward, I want to show I want to show you guys a short video, right? This isn't just our opinion, right? What Steve laid out was flawless. What we've been discussing, digital payments, blockchain, and new financial systems. It's already being built and talked about by banks, governments, and major institutions. This is happening now. So, the goal is never fear. It's always awareness when it comes to us. When you see this shift, you stop viewing crypto as just coins and you start seeing a larger financial transition. Um, as you guys watch, I want you to listen for a couple things. One, how they describe upgrading the financial system. Two, how they talk about digital money and assets. And then finally, who is leading these conversations. All right, I'll play it now. But guys, you might know this guy and some of you might not. All right, but hopefully you know who he is. Many Americans are unaware that behind the scenes the technical backbone of the financial system is decades out of date. Many, many years out of date. You know that Paul and others are straightening it out. But payments and money transfers are costly and take days or even weeks to clear. Under this bill, the entire ancient system will be eligible for a 21st century upgrade using the state-of-the-art crypto technology. Who would have thought we would have been saying that two years after? Whoa. What you just saw confirms it. The system is changing. This is bigger than coins. It's about infrastructure. how money moves, settles, and its track. Most people focus on price, but the real shift is happening behind the scenes. This is why education matters. The system is being rebuilt and everyone will live within it.

So, now let's look at the current banking system, trust, um, and and why people are starting to question how money works today. Now, let's let's talk about something, right? This this affects almost everyone who comes into the space for the first time. I call it the beginner trap. The beginner trap is when someone hears about crypto, they get interested, but then they start in the wrong place. They hear somebody mention a coin. It could be a memecoin, XRP, whatever. They see someone online say they made money. They watch a video saying something is about to take off. They hear a friend or family member talk about what they bought and before they understand what they are doing they start trying to take action. They buy before they understand trust before they verify follow before they learn and focus on price before they understand purpose. That is where a lot of mistakes happen. Most people do not get hurt in this space because they aren't smart. They get hurt because they enter without structure. They don't understand what they are buying, what problem the project is supposed to solve, or the difference between a real project, a trend, and something that's pure speculation. They also lack understanding of wallets, exchanges, security, scams, and they're not prepared for how quickly emotions can take over when prices move up or down. So what happens is they buy something because they feel late, then the price drops, then they panic, then they sell at the wrong time, then they blame the whole entire space, or they jump from one coin to another trying to catch the next move, but they never build real understanding. That's the beginner trap. This is why we keep saying education comes before action. Understanding comes before buying. Security comes before speed and research comes before trust because if you skip the foundation, this space can become overwhelming extremely quickly. Now, I want to make this clear. There is something wrong with being a beginner. I mean, there is nothing wrong at all with being a beginner. Everybody starts somewhere. Stephen and I were beginners at one point also. The issue isn't being new. The issue is staying new because you never slow down long enough to build the foundation. That is what we want to help you avoid by all costs. We do not want you coming into crypto just reacting to headlines. We don't want you buying because somebody else sounds confident. We don't want you trusting platforms, um, random influencers or projects without knowing what questions to even ask. We want you to learn how to think because when you learn how to think in this space, everything changes. You start asking better questions. I'll give you some examples.

And and write these down, guys. It's just the pen and pad moment right here.

Absolutely. So, first one, what is this project actually for? Next question, who is using it? Third, what problem does it solve? Next, is this a real use case or just attention? Where should I store my assets? And I saw that question inside the chat. Great question. How do I protect myself? What risk do I need to understand before I move forward? That is how you begin moving from confusion to clarity. And that is why this master class is structured the way that it is. I told you guys in the beginning, day one is giving you the bigger picture. Day two, we're going to help you understand the opportunity, the risk, and the next steps. And for those who know they need more time, more review, more structure, that is exactly why we created the VIP upgrade and the nine-part crypto foundation because one live class, it can open your eyes. But structure itself is what helps you keep growing after the master class is over. So here's a simple takeaway. Do not enter this space through emotion, fear, or pressure. You enter this through education because when you understand first, you give yourself a better chance to make wiser decisions later. So what I want you guys to do is I want you to type education first. Two words, education first in the chat if that makes sense. I also want you guys to type structure if you understand why learning in the right order matters.

So, somebody put a a good question in the comment. Um, what is what is the project um actually for? So, what Chant meant by that was remember I told you in the beginning every cryptocurrency coin or token is considered a tech company, right? They are put here for a specific reason. So, if it's a meme coin, they're just telling you like, "Good luck. Try to make some money on this, right? It does nothing." Okay? If it's if it's a blockchainbased situation that allows for scalability and for companies to build on top of it, then that's what that's what they're built for. What you need to understand is it's just like the internet. So if I said what's the internet for, man, we could be here all day talking about this. So the internet allows you affords you the opportunity to build technology on top of it to do what? Connect with people for goods and services or just for connection, right? The same thing with cryptocurrency. You look at that technology, it is allowing tech people to build things that are going to solve problems. And I'll give you a quick example. There's a company called Vchain, VET. All right? They're considered data supply chain management, right? That's kind of their claim to fame. Within there, they have certain verticals that solve certain problems. And here's one of them that I like. I actually I'll give you two for VChain. And it's not financial advice, but it's one of my favorite projects. One would be when you're in a grocery store and there's a recall, let's say on romaine lettuce. This happens all the time. How do you know that whatever you bought from the grocery store that's on a recall list? How would you know that in real time? You never get a message about it, right? You might randomly be watching the news or something might come across your feed that says it, right? But it doesn't know that you purchased it. Now, when Vchain or whatever company integrates into the food system, it's going to be able to know where it came from, how long it was on the shelf, and if there's a recall, who bought it. So, at that point now, in real time, the minute that there's a recall, they can then disseminate information directly to everyone who purchased it. How powerful is that? How valuable would a company like that be? Because it could be a case of life or death. Vchain works with BMW. What are they doing? The cars of the future are gonna have parts that are going to track whether you take it out or not. Right? So what Vchain does is they've attached their technology. So the minute that you go to buy a car, if I if Champ sold me his car, I could look at his data report from the blockchain and I could see every part that Champ changed in that car and whether he used third party person, whether he used um BMW um um actual market parts or aftermarket parts. It can tell you how fast Champ drove the car on average, right? It can tell you every bit of the car is linked to the blockchain. So if it's ever been in an accident, he fixed it, right? I can know that some panel was hit at some time and he fixed it. All of it affects the price of the car. How valuable is that problem that it solves? One more. There's a company called just thinking I should give it to you guys. California um DMV and this is national but the state of California has started to put things on the blockchain ch. Do you know which project they're using for that?

I don't. What could it be?

No, I'm asking you. Do you?

No, I don't remember off the head.

All right. So, anyway, the problem with titles in every state is it takes time to um it takes time to actually get the title, right? Titles take could take weeks, could take months. Then there's also a lot of title fraud. So, there's a ton of people that are buying cars that that aren't um uh verified, right? Because of the system. The old system does not track things correctly. Okay. So, what they've done was they started to put card titles on the blockchain. So, now what it does is it's able to verify the information. You think it's going to take weeks, Champ?

No, not at all. And I I remember it. I do remember it now.

Okay. Um, so now with this blockchain, they're able to organize the car titles to make sure that there's reduced fraud and to also make sure that the transfer of title goes through right away. So if I bought a car, why would I have to wait for a piece of mail to come to show that I have ownership in the car? So that's that's considered one of the projects that's solving the problem. And Champ, the project would be Avalanche.

Avalanche. So Avalanche is a blockchain that is solving a multitude of products. Now on top of Avalanche, there could be other companies, guys like me and you could create, you know, solve problems and put them on those blockchains, too.

You understand? But the state of California is using that. So, what happens when every other state in the United States starts to use that or globally? What happens when it's not only your car title, but it's your the the deed to your home? How much more liquidity do you think would run through the chosen blockchain to then make the value go up or down? Champ up.

So, that's how we invest. We get the foundation first and then we give you gems like that, right? Because you'll never really hear those on the internet because most people are really just stuck on the dollar and the dream and you want to make $10 million. Yep.

But you don't want to buy Apple at 27 cents when it first came out. You don't want to get the 10-centent Amazon. That's how you build wealth long term and understanding what the company does, what problem they solve, and then what partnerships that they're picking up along the way to then bring liquidity in and then how money is made. Right? That's the last part of cryptocurrency. There's power in that knowledge right there, guys. So, we gave you two major projects, Vchain and Avalanche. No need to thank us. There's more. All right. So, now we're gonna go let's get one more poll in.

Let's do it.

Or another poll. All right. This is going to be This is about time, review, and structure, right? Champ, you want to bring up that poll or

Yeah. Yeah, I got you.

This is This is number uh this is poll three.

Three. Got you covered.

All right. So, we covered a lot, guys. We talked about financial literacy. We talked about the evolution of money. What else did we do? system's changing, of course. Um, the financial system we know is being upgraded. Uh, we talked about the beginner's trap, right? So, now let me ask you this. How many of you can actually tell that this information is possible that you may need to go back and review it? Right? Because as we were talking, I noticed there were some questions in there where people are like, "Oh, can you repeat that or um, can you give me all those questions?" This is part of the replay, guys. You have 24 hours from the time to watch it again or you can basically get lifetime membership to the situation. So when you look at the poll questions, I need to rewatch this so it can sink in. I'm one of those learners. I have to kind of go back, right, for certain things, especially if it's something that I'm new at, then cool. If it's something I know I can retain and and just kind of move a little quicker, um I need more step-by-step structure. This is going to help us uh, you know, align with you guys a little bit better to see what your needs are. Um, I need help understanding the basics. I need help avoiding mistakes and scams. That's that's been that we saw that in the chat. A lot of people are scared of that. A lot of people lost money one time and never came back.

Um, I want to access, you know, I want access to the replays and the bonus training, right? So, just let us know what you guys are thinking and where we at. What do you think number one is? Uh right now it's looking like yes, I need time to review,

right? That's that's at uh that's the majority right there. Second close one is yes, I want to go at my own pace. That makes that makes sense, right? The time to review. It's a lot of information in one day, right? And I'm pretty sure there's probably some people at work. You're listening to it on headphones. You're probably not locked in fully. Common stuff. You walked away. You missed a part. This is part of it, guys. All right. Um because in one live class, again, our job is to really open your eyes, right? But again, I know that most people are going to need time. They're going to need to review. They're going to need to pause, take notes, uh just go back through the information. All right? And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that because for somebody to be able to retain all this data, I mean, we probably said 10,000 words already. It's it's it's tough. The human brain could only remember but so much. All right? But you'll also know how you felt. Okay? So part of this is trust building. You know, we can give you an hour and a half today. we got an hour and a half tomorrow. No problem. We could do this every day of the week and this is how we serve our community. So you start to see the bigger picture more clearly. All right. So if you you know most of the people 59 55% picked um they need to rewatch you need more structure. Some people picked they need help with the basics. You don't want really you know every bit of information is is something that you can miss. So, when I gave uh Vchain and we gave um um Avalanche, you know, that's a big piece of information because depending on how fast you get to the research, depending on what entry point you get into, when this thing hits, I'm telling you guys, a lot of these tech stocks, the the Microsofts, they were cents on the dollar when they came out.

It was about just having enough information and data on the company to make an informed decision to invest. So, we're talking about investments as low as change that could be at the bottom of your car seat or in your couch right now. Right or wrong, chain?

Indeed.

Because Vchain is at what today?

4,000 of a penny. 0.004.

That's where it went.

That's where it's at right now.

Okay. All right. So, we And I'm telling you like Vchain has a multitude of um of of problems and stuff that it solves. Okay. Um Right. So, what I wanted to give you guys is I wanted to give you a checklist just for free, right? There's there's no attachment to it. Um, going to open this up right now. So, what we created was we created a bigger beginner's guide. So, it's key term terminology and I gave you a safety checklist. I don't care if you guys stay on this ride with us or you don't. I just want to make sure that nobody gets taken advantage of in times where we cannot afford this. All right? So, that's what this checklist is for. All right? So, I'm sharing that with you guys now. You'll be able to download it. Just put a one in the chat if you downloaded or if you see the checklist and you're downloading it right now and let me know if they're grabbing it.

I'm locked in.

So, again, we've we've had a we had a good amount of sales that came in pre and there's some guys that are already started the uh the VIP course. You just don't have the playback because we just went live today. But you're also, everyone who's in, like Champ said, you're also slated to win a uh nine-part uh foundation course. So, in the platform we're using, we're able to know who came on and who stayed on. So, at the end, we're just going to look at that and we're just going to randomly pick the uh the winner of that. All right? I don't want you guys to feel pressured. We got a whole another day together. We got a little bit more time on this call left, you know, soon wrapping up, but a little bit more time. Um I just want you to be honest with yourself. That's it. All right. So, if you know you need to review this situation, it's a good time to get this. Again, you have a 24-hour window. What you don't have in the 24 hours is you don't have the 4-day class that's going to go a little bit deeper in money. Where I feel people need the foundation is that navigating the financial frontier because of the way that we weave the story together to show you the bartering system, to talk about Nixon, uh we talked about Brentton Woods agreement, like all the stuff that matters.

All right. This is this is the most important part of education, guys. And it's crazy that how many people went to school where they taught you about financial literacy? Put a zero if you were never taught financial literacy in school and put a one if you were.

Let me know how that's coming in.

Gotcha. Um Steve, while while I review those polls, can you get the uh offer out to them?

Yeah. Um, ones, one zero zero zero. Bunch of zeros. Any ones at all? Yeah, it looks like all zeros.

All right. Did we have ones before that? Did Did everybody download the um the beginner's guide that we put together for you guys?

Yep, they did.

Download it. the the upgrade is there. It it just it's going to stay on the screen for the remainder of the call. All right. Um so this is where we get into the meat and potatoes right here. This is the cryptocurrency, the blockchain and the tokenization. We only want to focus on three things right now. And the reason for that is guys, we could put you in overload if we got into like stable coins and wallets and this and that and cold storage wallets. No, there is a way that you stack and you learn information and you have to start from ground level. So for me, we've chosen cryptocurrency, blockchain, and tokenization. Those are going to be three of the biggest uh buzzwords that you hear out there in the media. So we want to make sure that you understand what they are, okay? What the true meaning of it is. All right? So for cryptocurrency, um basically guys, at the end of the day, it is a digital form of value. All right? I need you to understand that these guys are tech companies also. The value is in what the currency is actually worth. the tech behind it is in what problem it solves, right? Which then kind of goes along with what the actual price is or what the value of the company is. Today, there's a lot of speculation in cryptocurrency, okay? Because systems aren't fully connected. All right? So, everything sounds great until it's not. So, you have to look at the ownership, you have to look at, you know, you have to study the the white paper, you have to, you know, see the partnerships that they formed. And guys, some of the companies that we gave you have solid partnerships,

right? Vchain is partnered with, just so you know, with Walmart China, right? And one of the biggest issues with Walmart, and this is all supply chains, is if they were to look for one product inside of a store, it can take them up to three days to locate that in the current system that Walmart has. With Vchain, it takes seconds.

So, how valuable would that be for a supply chain to know that they can know what's happening in real time and they can better manage their supply? That means that the price should be able to do what? Be more favorable for us because product could be there. Things are moving and flowing. There's not too much mistakes happening, right? So then that means that this company is probably solving a billion if not a trillion dollar problem in retail champ.

Yep.

Way more.

Y at 0.00004, if I put $10 on it today, what do you how much can I get from that?

Let's do the math real quick. 0004 $10 2500 Vchain tokens.

Okay. And if it was to go up to uh five bucks, what would the value be then?

That's 12,500.

Okay. Does that sound about right in cryptocurrency?

Yep. And it could happen fast. Partnership announcement.

Yeah. It and what you guys have to understand is it doesn't need

common guys like me and you. It just needs the partnership. So once Walmart rolls it out, Kohl's is going to do it. Sam's Club is going to do it. BJ's like everyone's going to do it.

>> Yeah.

We're in the testing phase right now. So we've been investing based on testing and we've been noticing that the partnerships have been growing. We've been noticing that it has been solving the problem. And when you know business and this is this is the what I bring into um the the the three decades of understanding business. I know bottom line. So when you can increase profit and make things more efficient, you become more profitable and you can pass the cost along. It the system is not going to be as inundated with middlemen, right? So everything's going to go direct. So as fast as it's moving, there's going to be some positives and there's going to be a good ton of negatives. So I'm not saying that crypto is not really put here to solve every problem. All right?

So that means that cryptocurrency can do what? It could be sent, stored, it could be used through the internet on what they call a blockchain network. So the easiest way to think about this guys is cryptocurrency is is money or value built for a digital world. All right? And not every cryptocurrency is the same. Okay? Some are designed to do what? Store value. That's more of a Bitcoin. Okay? Um some are designed for payments, right? that this is you're gonna and the crazy part about it is your direct deposits are going to change >> and you're not going to have no quarrels about it like all right cool we're using stable coins now you're just going to acquiesce to it all right um not some are designed for payments right some are some are used inside of blockchain networks um some are connected to apps and different platforms like I told you um some are just experiments most are speculation and then some you should just avoid completely guys to be honest with you.

What percentage of cryptocurrencies do you think are going to die in the market champ in the next five years?

>> In the next five years,

>> and we always say this, it's one of our catch.

>> 99%. I would go with 99% in the next five years.

>> So understand guys, that's how much noise is out there. Once you can take away the noise, focus on the 1%, that's how wealth and information and knowledge and foundation is set. Not through these meme coins. Trust me when I tell you that. because for every winner, there's more losers. And they're not coded for everybody to win, just so you know. All right?

So, Bitcoin is not the same as Ethereum. Ethereum is not the same as XRP. And XRP is not the same as a memecoin. All right? And a stable coin is not the same as a random token that somebody created yesterday. So, these are all things when you know how to research these things, you're like, "Ah, this just came out yesterday. Oh, they don't have a website or they have a bunch of misspellings on here. They have no photos. They're not real people. They're avatars." like clearly you can see it. But if you just focus on the guy who told you he just made millions and you need to go in on this coin, good luck. You'll get everything you ask for and at least you'll be learning and hopefully it doesn't deter you. But let's not get there.

So, what coin should I buy? Right? These these aren't questions you should be asking right now. The better question is, what is this digital asset for? What problem is it solving? You know, once you start to ask the right questions, you slow it down a little bit, right? Um, and that, you know, that's that's one of the questions I could feel like that could save anybody. If you take anything from here is don't worry about where to buy it, right? Don't ask that question. It drives me crazy when people come in my inbox like, "Yo, where should I buy that?" I'm like, "Why are you listening to me?" Ask the question first. Do your due diligence and figure that part out because if you don't know where to buy it, then you definitely don't know what to do or what it does because that's just common sense. Would you buy Apple stock without knowing what Apple does as a company? So why would you blindly just purchase something from an internet kid that you have no rapport with and even if you think you knew the person we want you to be accountable for this journey.

Um, the next one is going to be blockchain. Blockchain technology allows digital assets to be recorded and move right. So simple way is blockchain is a digital record book. All right. It records transactions. It tracks ownerships. It helps verify what happened. I had a quote I had a talk on black enterprise live and I had a quote I said blockchain technology with what keeps white men honest in America and it literally broke the internet. So what do I mean by that? And I'm not saying white men in general just people in power. So it just is what it is. Now there's going to be this ledger that we can access and we can know things. You guys got to be safe. If there's any advice I want to give you about entering cryptocurrency that you hold on to is don't send people just any wallet address, right? Because if if Champ sends me his wallet address with whatever coin, I get to see how much he has in there and I can follow his wallet. That's not good for safety either.

>> Nope.

>> Okay. So, if I give you my bank account, the system doesn't tell you what's in my account. It just tells you that you have access to it to be able to make a deposit, not to withdraw and not to see what's in it. But in cryptocurrency, you have to you guys have to understand that this stuff is on the blockchain and it's immutable. There's going to be two types of blockchains. There's going to be a public and a private. The private is going to be for governments, large institutions. You're not going to be able to see that. You understand? So, this is the part of the the back door that I talked about for Champ and I. We're not only looking for back doors, but we found windows on the first, second, and third floor, and even the basement. So, if you can't climb, you'll be all right if you just pay attention. Okay. So, the blockchain, you have to be careful with this. on our end, they're going to be able to see everything. So, what I do is I create a totally new wallet address that has zero in there and then you bring it there and then I transfer it out into where I need it to go. Okay? You never want to expose yourself because of hacks and scams and just your safety, >> right? That's going to be the biggest issue with people not understanding cryptocurrency is you're going to have a safety issue. All right?

Um, so it records the transactions, it tracks ownership, it verifies what happened. Okay? So instead of one company having all the records behind closed doors, which is what we have right now, blockchain allows the records to be shared and checked and verified by a network. If a company holds the the the the information, they could also change it right or wrong.

>> Yep. Indeed.

>> They don't have to be honest. They're not really working for us, right? So if there's no way of uh it being verified, same thing with music. You know, people had these expensive catalogs and music played all over the world. Do you think they actually are getting paid their just due? Or is it time to wrap technology around the minute that my song is played in Target or Walmart or here, I'm able to see that in real time and get paid in real time? That's what the new systems do.

You want to give them a music project they can research?

>> By day two, guys, we'll drop a couple.

>> Yeah, we'll drop we'll drop something in there and there for you guys. All right. So, it basically tracks ownership. Okay. So if one person controls a notebook, what happens? They could change what's written. But if all of us have a copy of it, it's going to take a concerted effort of everybody to be able to change it. What are the odds of that? Slim to none. All right. So blockchain in itself, guys, is one of the most powerful forms of technology. I would say it's as powerful as the internet. Okay? Because of the amount of data and information that's put on there. Good, bad, or indifferent, guys. This is an important piece of the puzzle. All right?

So investing in blockchain is like investing in infrastructure. So I like to ask this question. If you were if you had unlimited amount of money and you guys could put this in the chat. If you had an unlimited checkbook and you needed to buy some real estate, what would you buy? Drop that in the chat. You got an unlimited checkbook, what type of real estate would you buy? Let's see what some of these responses are.

All right. So, basically blockchain creates a way to record and verify information digitally. All right. Now, blockchain is not only about cryptocurrency, guys. And this is important. Blockchain can be used for payments, um, ownership records, supply chain, real estate, identity, financial settlement, tokenized assets. Um, so blockchain could be used for a multitude of things. All right. And that takes us into the next term, which is tokenization. All right. Tokenization means it's turning ownership or value into a digital token. That's important. All right. You're going to hear a lot of people talk about this tokenization situation. So, just to make it simple, imagine a building and ch what what sort of stuff are they?

>> Investment properties.

>> I'm seeing resorts, uh, land, islands, affordable housing, a lot of land. So okay, apartment buildings, multi-dwelling, land,

>> something digital, people put blockchain.

>> So land, land is smart, guys. And the reason that you go for land is because land, everything that you've named outside of land is built on land. >> So when you control land, you control water rights, mineral rights, then you control air rights to build up. So you're smart in that approach. Same thing with cryptocurrency. We look at the infrastructure projects first. That's what the smartest investors in the world are going to do. That's what the biggest guys are doing right now. They're looking at the infrastructure and then later, you know, we have projects that require the public, but the public is late to the party. I know that because I teach the public. Yeah.

>> So, when the public catches up, guess what? There's another set of investments that are going to increase. But it's about being patient, >> right? What we plan today harvests tomorrow. So, you may have to wait 10 years for some projects. I mean, there'll be increments along the way. But I mean, you know, Bitcoin, where did Bitcoin start at in 2008 in the first block?

>> Uh, block coin in 2009.

>> 6,000 of a penny 0.006.

>> Now, think about it, guys. All the way to even like I don't care where the price is at right now in the 60s and 50s, whatever the case is, topped out at 120. Think about that price. So, when he talked about the 2500 for $10, imagine you would have got into Bitcoin and you accumulated 2500 at 50,000 at 100,000. this happened. That was real. These are guys that had strong conviction in it. I didn't have strong conviction in Bitcoin. I still don't. Um so I didn't I wasn't one of those guys, but it's all around us. All right.

Um so now the the the building, right? So imagine the building. The old system, the ownership of that building may be recorded through paperwork, contracts, banks, and legal systems. That's the way the old system works, right? When you start to tokenize the building, what happens? the ownership rights or the value connected to the building is represented as a digital token on a blockchain. So you know instantly that oh Champ owns that token and we could see the value in real time. So you know what that means in the future when you start to tokenize assets they move faster. There's no more 30 days to close a transaction 30 to 60 days. It could happen in hours. All right in seconds 24 hours settlement meaning seven days a week value and money is moving. Money loves speed. So you think guys in the future are going to make more money than this old economy?

>> Do we not have a seat at that table?

>> Yep. Front row.

>> What you believe is what you will achieve. So do with the information what you want. All right. So everything is going to be tokenized in the world, guys. Real estate, art, stocks, bonds, commodities, music rights, business assets, memberships, rewards, you name it. every form of ownership, anything with some sort of value. Even your birth certificates, your college degrees, this is going to be your health records, right? This is how we're going to move information. Information doesn't have to be things that you make money on. So, how big is the blockchain going to be when all that stuff has to go on there? The entire economy is going to go on there. So, if we invest in the infrastructure of tokenization, that's where the wealth creation is made. That's where the wealth creation is made. All right.

So, cryptocurrency digital value. Blockchain is the digital record system and tokenization is turning ownership value into a token, a digital token. That's it. All right. So, type value in the chat if cryptocurrency is making a little bit more sense. All right. Type blockchain if blockchain is making a little bit more sense. and then type tokenization if that's making a little bit more sense.

Yeah, water is going to be another thing, guys. They're gonna they're these guys are going to wrap a digital ownership in things that are like our birthrights to have. So, I'm just letting you know that we can allow this thing to happen or we can educate ourselves because it's going to happen anyway. And then you just find a way to position yourself and your family to make money or to to have a proper uh uh you know means to be able to uh live in the future. We know that AI is going to displace a lot of jobs. So as this new tech is coming there's another tech that's that's kind of you know building a whole new landscape. So at at together all of it is sitting on the internet. That's why it feels like it's moving so fast. The internet didn't have the internet. So that's why crypto and AI is moving five to six times faster than the speed of the internet adoption. So no, you don't have time because we have the internet. We literally started a call at 12 o'clock and we're talking about blockchain technology on a Monday. These guys are hosting meetings. They're in countries talking about all of this stuff on a daily basis. No, there is no time. The technology is moving faster than the education could keep up with. That's why I feel we're the most valuable piece of education that you can have on the on on the planet right now.

>> I agree.

>> There's no school. The only difference is you guys want to pay a hundred,000 to an institution. You don't want to give us 20 bucks. You don't want to give us 49 bucks. You want to question that. But then the 80,000 that you spent on college, um, how's that going for you? Just asking for a friend. So informal education is is is kind of the way you are in charge of this. There is if and you know the last question I asked was did anybody go to school where they taught financial literacy outside of you learning finances and economics and things? Is that the baseline in America?

>> Yeah.

>> So you're going to teach kids how to count change and there's no more change.

>> No more change. Right.

>> So how much dumber or smarter are they going to be?

>> Don't put them at the register. All right. Where we at? So institutional adoption. Right. So, this is kind of what we've been talking about.

>> Yeah.

>> You got a little bit of proof of it?

>> Absolutely. So, I want to show I want to show you one more short clip, right? I know you guys seem to love that in the chat. So, this is Larry Frink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock. This is the largest asset manager in the world. They manage around 14 trillion dollars in assets. When someone like Larry Frink talks about Bitcoin tokenization and digital assets, it matters. This doesn't mean that we blindly follow and trust everything that these guys say, but it shows something ultra important. Major financial players are no longer ignoring this space. They're studying it, building around it, creating products. They see digital assets and tokenization as part of the future. So as you watch this, I want you guys to listen for the bigger message. How institutions are thinking about ownership and digital assets. We believe the next step going forward will be the tokenization of financial assets. And that means every stock, every bond will have its own basically QIP. It'll be on one general ledger. Every investor, you and I will have our own number. And this is why it matters. This conversation is moving into traditional finance. Institutions, banks, payment companies are entering and building. This is not about rushing or buying based on hype. This is all about awareness. The system that once ignored crypto is now learning to use it. Digital assets, they're becoming part of the financial future. So the question is not, should I follow institutions? The better question is, do I understand where the system is going? That's why we are here to help you build that foundation. Now, here's what this means for you, right? You don't need to become an expert today. You don't need to understand every coin. You don't need to move fast. But you do need to understand that this shift is real and it's happening. The financial system itself is becoming more digital. The financial system is becoming more digital. Remember that major institutions are preparing, assets are being tokenized, blockchain is becoming part of the everyday conversation, and everyday people like you and me need education before they try to participate. That's the whole point of this master class. We're helping you build the foundation first so you can stop the guesswork, ask better questions, move with more clarity. So, as we close day one, I want you guys to remember this. The goal is not speed. The goal is understanding. And if today open your eyes, day two is where we take the next step.

Steve, I think we I think we should give him one one last poll.

>> That's working.

>> Let's do one. All right. Because today was about foundation. We talked about financial literacy. We talked about how money evolves. We talked about why the current system is changing. We talked about the beginner trap. We covered crypto, blockchain, and tokenization. In a simple term, we showed you that major institutions are already paying attention. But day two, that's where we take that next step. Day two is where we talk more about opportunity, risk, ownership, security, and what your next steps should look like as a beginner. So, I want to know who is coming back. So, are you committed to coming back for day two? We got Yes, I'll be back. Um, I need the replay because I may miss it live. We understand it's it's again um I'm still deciding, but today opened my eyes. I expected the first one.

>> Yeah.

>> What you thinking?

>> I'll be back for day two. Definitely.

>> It's good. We We're gonna end the poll now. So, go ahead.

>> All right. Cool. So, I love seeing this. Day one gave you the big picture. Day two is where we make it even more practical. Today helped you understand why this shift matters. Day two will help you understand how to think about the opportunity without ignoring the risk. So, make sure you guys come back, bring your notes, bring your questions, and bring somebody who needs your information because this is the type of education people need before they try to move inside the new digital financial system. Now, before we end day one, I want to speak directly to the people who are all who already know they need more than just the live session. Steve, talk to them.

>> All right, so guys, listen. This giveaway situation right now, you're being time, and stamped. We have good amount of attention that stayed on the whole time. So I'm pretty sure everybody pretty much gonna qualify for this. Uh so if you bought the VIP, right, which includes the 4day navigating the new financial frontier, that course, just so you understand it, it goes deeper into the history of money, banking, central banks, the dollar, uh the global financial system, dd dollararization, blockchain, tokenization, and digital assets, right? AI bank risks and um it gives you it's like a preparedness kit for the financial situation. Right? So that's in there. We also gave a bonus uh time management lesson. One of the biggest reasons why students or people in general um don't finish kind of what they start is because of lack of time. So this time management bonus that we gave you gives you a time sheet. I mean everything. Um how work, travel, to and from work, the gym, uh TV, internet, you name it. We have a bunch of uh categories. You put in the amount of time that you spend and it gives you in weeks. Well, on a weekly, it gives you how many hours you're actually spending on each thing. It's just really taking inventory of your time at the end of the day because when you start to look, if you go on your app, on any app, it can tell you your usage. You might have 40 hours a week on Instagram. You might do 30 hours a week on Netflix binge watching, right? So, when you start to divert some of that stuff, and I'm not saying that stuff's not important. I'm just telling you that some of the time that we spend on certain things, you don't realize it until you actually take inventory. Our time management sheet has been one of the biggest eye openers for any student that's taken it, right? Because it's the first time. It's one thing to think you're spending a lot of time. It's another to be like, oh now you reroute. Okay, let me take two hours from Instagram. Let me go here with it. Let me take an hour from here. Let me go here with it. You don't have to go back into teaching. You can go back into nature. Just just something else that's just not taking up that space that that that's not giving you the feedback or the you know what what you're kind of looking for in life, right? So again, accountability, time management tracking sheet, um access to a private YouTube educational channel. So Champ and I created this free um YouTube channel, right? Well, it's private and we have a whole bunch of what is cryptocurrency, what is blockchain. are going to keep adding stuff to it to give you a strong foundation and that's you have that channel for a lifetime. All right, hold on to it. Don't share the link with somebody who didn't put the work in. That's another thing too, guys. Birds of a feather flock together. So, if you're sitting here complaining about the people that are around you, just think about it. When you pointing fingers, there's way more pointing back at you. So, change yourself, change your circumstances, watch your circle change. Let's not focus on who else is not involved or who's not interested in cryptocurrency because not everybody gets wealth at the same time. So if the people around you are struggling and you're struggling, just understand that birds of a feather flock together. When you start to change the conversation, start to change the rooms, you start to see the environment around you changes, the conversation changes. And I'm not telling you that, you know, this is like a must and you have to leave everybody around you. I'm just saying just start taking inventory of the people around you. That's part of your diet, what you ingest every day. I don't have guys calling my phone anymore about Jordan verse Bird or LeBron and I don't know who won the championship. Well, I know the Knicks one. I was invested in that, but um outside of that, I'm just I'm just not routing my time and attention to things like that. So, what you focus on does expand. All right. Then you have the lifetime um playbacks. So, you get to watch one and two as much as you want. All right. All of it is done in course format, guys. So, you have a login. This is super professional. And as you finish, you mark completed this. Trust me, how we put things together in the academy is is bar none. Um, as top-notch as it can get and easy to follow. All right? So, if you're a little slow on tech, we'll work with you. We'll help you log in and stuff like that. But everything is pretty much automated uh from here on out. All right? And then remember, anybody who has the the VIP, you're automatically and we will email you directly the winner, you will get the ninepart crypto foundation that has over a $200 value on it. And then anybody that was on the call, you're going to get the um the YouTube channel for free. All right, so everybody that stayed on, you guys will get the bonuses as far as the giveaways. All right, so now quick little recap, right? Session's over. Okay, hopefully you got some things out of the foundation. We have two winners that are going to be picked for the private YouTube educational library and the nine part crypto foundation. You don't have to do anything. you're already earmarked at this point. Um, and then we'll select the winners and then you'll get that in the email. Now, as we close day one, I just need you to remind, just need you to remember. Um, today was just all about foundation. Tomorrow, day two, this is where we build on top of the foundation. All right. I'm going to bring some cool projects. Champ will probably have a couple projects for you guys, so you'll get the background and you'll get some projects. All right. Um, tomorrow we're going deeper into opportunity, risks, ownership, security. Some of you asked about wallets and things like that. We'll talk a little bit about that stuff. All right. And the next step you should take as a beginner in the space or even if you bought, trust me, the people who bought are actually as uninformed as a person who never bought. Like they don't really know how deep this thing goes. All right. So, make sure you come back, bring your notes, uh, bring your questions. All right. Um, this type of education, this is really the type of education people need to move inside the new digital financial system, guys. Pretty much. All right. I want to thank you guys and appreciate you for the time. We went a little bit over 90 minutes, but this is how we always overd deliver. Please let me know if you didn't get the file at the top of day two. We'll drop the recap. We'll drop the file in there again. If not, right before you leave here, just grab that file. All right? And then before you leave two, look at the opportunity page and just keep that open and just make a decision on it. I can tell you that I had a steak dinner the other day for $49. guys. It like the the the cost of what the value of things now and and and my measurement of when I'm out to buy stuff is really based on cryptocurrency. Like, man, you know how much such and such I could buy?

>> Yeah.

>> And that that stops me from making like ill-informed decisions. And I got pretty good resistance to it. I know what I'm investing in now. But just letting you know that when you look at something, if if price is what's holding you back, we could also charge more if you want to feel like the value is is going to be any less at 49 because we get that too. Um, but what we're trying to do is democratize it and make it as affordable as possible for the culture. Um, you know, the days of five $10,000 and you having to, you know, use a credit card and all that other stuff is over. But we do have CLA, we do have Afterpay that's linked to it. So, if you guys wanted to break that down into a a multi-pay, that option is available to you also. But I'm letting you know that the most important thing that I've learned from cryptocurrency is helping me in every vertical I have right now moving forward. And it's an inside look into the future, into way things work. It got me understanding international markets. Cryptocurrency also got me in Colombia invested right now. Without it, I wouldn't have known world finance and economics. I wouldn't have thought I thought there was borders. You know, the borders used to just be in my neighborhood when I was growing up.

>> Then as I got older, it moved to states. Now that I get more refined, it's in continents. So America, Colombia, Africa's next. Hopefully all you guys join us on the ride tomorrow, day two. Champ, any closings?

>> No, you guys are absolutely incredible. I can't wait for day two. I'm going to show up. So, we want to make sure you guys do the same. We will see you same time tomorrow. Let's get it.
