the currency can be other say more record highs are still to come so joining me now to go further and this is boom bust co-host christiane i know kristie bitcoin sustained some heavy losses this past week so what caused the steep sell off and is this the beginning of a downward trend. no i wouldn't call it a downward trend but it is going to face downward pressure here as it when you establish a supporter at 32000 so as you pointed out it did break 30000 but as of right now it's trading already up almost at $34000.00 so there are a few reasons why that point dropped so heavily so suddenly so firstly you have the options market that was our $1000000000.00 and notional open interest rate near term clip volume rising which skewed pressure to the downside and then secondly have the critical resistance of the $35000.00 rejected again for the search time after bouncing off of being unable to break through $35.00 it just sold off from there so we're now consolidating at the $32000.00 range where traders are going to

be watching for another run attempt at $35000.00 for confirmation of where prices will be headed next so we could see. a little range bound here and so finally also have the skinny to the sell off and that was a problem possibly led to a panic drop in short period so just like 2 weeks ago a panic selloff ensued when prices dipped below $33000.00 and most of it came from leverage traders who once again caused a domino chain effect once they got blown out of their positions and also you have many novice traders stepped in to buy because i did you follow my considerably higher prices and then they quickly got scared and cashed out as well so you had this massive wall a sell orders in a very short period of time which drove the price down parts so on the flip side of that it was also pointed out that on january 19th the bitcoin fund greyscale they added a record number of $16244.00 bequests now that's roughly $607000000.00 in one day to its total holdings now that is 18 times the amount of new bequests as my

day is showing considerable demand and still considerable appetite for institutional investors so while there is a lot of panic selling from people who can't stomach a little bit of volatility there's still some very strong hands in the gay. who are happily i all be. ok that's good to know and i know because it has been sort of all the rage especially over the last month and even j.p. morgan is now talking about it and they actually put out a note in the middle of the sell off to call bitcoin the least reliable hedge during periods of acute market stress what do you say to that. i say with all due respect to j.p. morgan that that statement is the complete opposite of what they were saying just earlier this month at the beginning of january when a big one was actually on a tear j.p. morgan also put out any $146000.00 price target on it saying the big quite has emerged as a rival to gold which is the ultimate hedge so they're kind of doing

a little flip flop of backtracking here given how that points track so in fact in november of 2020 to various groups they put out a survey consisting of more than 700 millionaire clients who responded to their firms annual survey with 73 percent of them saying that they have already invested or will invest in crypto currencies by 2023 so that number is up 68 percent from last year as high net worth individuals rebalance our portfolios more courts krypto so this statement that big question is not a reliable hedge it's actually going on simple wall street investors who have been flocking to quite as a legitimate hedge against inflation concerns from all these massive stimulus packages that we haven't u.s. europe everywhere around the world and these emergency measures like money printing agendas they reduce the value of traditional currencies like the dollar and while volatility still remains a big concern with wind it's still a very reliable hedge and it has proven itself to be worthy and

a solid store of value during a time of crisis i mean just look at 2020 a year of crisis one of the biggest crisis is a modern history and what other asset performed as well as because. i don't think that it's a coincidence either that mass adoption by institutional happened in 2020 either these institutional they're smart money and they're the ones ahead of the trend so it's no coincidence that they witness this quintal comments in a time of crisis and then decide to jump on board one especially when you're hearing it being called a rival to goldman you're going to get a lot more pressure put on bitcoin and exactly where it's at now let's move on and let's talk about a theory of the number 2 crypto by market cap how has it performed during this week of volatility. well a theory has actually performed remarkably well it still managed to not break the $1000.00 line of support and fact on tuesday each shot to a record high of nearly $1440.00 so in terms of the risk return what we said last

this early this past month still holds true in that from here in has a better return profile and each will continue to benefit from its relationship with the 5 applications the majority of which are built on that if you're in network and which have seen massive growth at 2020 and also as the network continues to get upgraded it will also allow transaction and process sigs seems to increase and be comparable to that of card and visa so it's still kind of early in the maturation cycle with each and institutional investors are now only slowly starting to realize the value of bitcoin as a central digital currency in this web point economy however still remains the fact programmable point in this entire ecosystem and fund start analysts they've also set a price target of $10500.00 for it as and as each goes up so all the other all

points in that universe well certainly a lot to look forward to whenever it comes to crypto currencies all around kristie i think you so much for your time and your analysis on this one. the u.s. is racing to keep up with the rest of the world when it comes to the rollout of kovac $1000.00 vaccines but despite optimism coming from officials within the biden administration several states including new york and california are reporting serious shortages and saying they haven't been able to keep up with the demand archies natasha suite has the details. well some americans are excited to get vaccinated there still isn't enough to go around here you see people lining up in their cars at l.a. dodgers stadium one of several mass covert vaccination sites throughout the city many decided to wait even after it was announced a supply already dried up in los angeles and there was a 3 to 4 hour wait. so we came back this morning after talking to

a foreign ministry who said to come in their morning california is just one of the few states warning residents that supplies of the crown of iris vaccine are running out a high out west virginia florida and hawaii have issued similar warnings and new york has to temporarily shut down vaccination sites canceling appointments after vaccine doses run low grossest snyder is a high school english teacher who lives in new york but commutes by way of public transportation to new jersey the 32 year old said she was eager to book her vaccination portman online before returning to in person classes late february but a day before her appointment she received a call from the hospital saying the supply had run out and i'm frustrated i mean it's really it's really you know it's scary to know that i'm going to be you know teaching in person and maybe i'll be vaccinated and maybe i won't be and now president biden signs 10 executive orders aiming to launch his national kovac 19

strategy to shoot you if you're unsure is going to apply to you in addition to increasing supply and testing biden says these orders will lay the groundwork for reopening schools and businesses it also includes a mandate requiring americans to wear a mask when traveling we're in a national emergency it's time we treated like one dr anthony felching says the vaccine so far seems to work against the covert variant b 117 that's the new tainted virus originally found in the u.k. which is now present and some 20 states says if the vaccine rollout plan happens we could reach herd immunity by the. fall he says fans might be able to attend sports games with social distancing protocols but the centers for disease control and prevention warned this week that we may not have the vaccines in every pharmacy come february as once hoped the goal is to administer 100000000 vaccine doses in biden's 1st 100 days in office reporting in los angeles and cautious tweets are.

canadian politicians are now saying they want to go to war with the new u.s. government after president biden's signed an executive order to cancel the permit for the keystone x.l. pipeline the goal of the pipeline is to transport oil from canada to the u.s. and while some are applauding biden's move it is also receiving criticism on both sides of the border archies alex mile of each has the story. within hours of his inauguration president joe biden signed an executive order to revoke the permit for the keystone x.l. pipeline and he's already getting some heat at home the day one priority was to kill thousands of american jobs including union jobs to support our strong ally our counter to and reverse some of our progress toward energy security and while the debate will likely continue in d.c. at the same time the president is stirring the pot north of the border as well said they said these any as you know i've been supporting this keystone x.l.

project for years yes i made this argument 7 years ago in a room full of democrats in washington even b. who are now became prime minister in canada's prime minister justin trudeau is being pressured by provincial leaders to fight back against the us president's order but charge was led by the premier's of alberta and scotch one whose energy sectors are tightly tied to the $8000000000.00 project aides who participated at meetings between the provincial politicians and the prime minister were quoted as saying some premier's want to go to war originally proposed in 2008 the 1200 mile long pipeline travels through 7 states starting in canada in the alberta tar sands and ending at the gulf of mexico the pipeline is meant to move 830000 barrels of crude a day those who prioritize economy over environment are critical of biden for cancelling the project more interested in virtue signals to the climate activists and supporting the union workers who are building the keystone pipeline calgary

alberta based t.c. energy the company behind the pipeline says it will lay off 1000 workers immediately due to president joe biden's decision it is not clear how many of those jobs are american on the other side of the coin the move should make some people happy including environmentalists and others opposed to the keystone x.l. pipeline the project has been criticized for numerous reasons including the fact that it crosses tribal lands and of course. the source of the oil the tar sands which are blamed for contributing to climate change meanwhile in canada prime minister trudeau is trying to appease both environmentalists and the oil industry while improving canada's relationship with the u.s. the past 4 years have been tough on the otherwise close friendship between the 2 countries wants things to get better in a statement earlier this week the prime minister said that canada is disappointed but acknowledges the president's decision to fulfill his election campaign promise on keystone x.l. a sign that america's neighbor to the north may be willing to play ball even if the

pipeline is off the table for boom bust i'm alex marla bitch. global markets are mostly up this week with many hitting record highs let's start in russia where the mo x. is in the red falling oil prices contributed to the losses investors are also on certain over possible sanctions related to activist alexina mommy's detainment in asian markets the shanghai composite is up this week the index hit a 5 year high on thursday china's g.d.p. grew by 2.3 percent in 2020 signaling a strong recovery in hong kong the hong saying is also up reaching its highest level in 20 months so far this year the index gained 8.9 percent its best start in 36 years the index retreated on friday as c. and o. c.

on line and has found itself up against several legal challenges so what does that mean for the future of competition on social media will discuss it next hand as we go to break here the numbers of the close. now look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point obesity is too great trust our government here . later on theories johnson with artificial intelligence will summon the demon.

the robot must protect its own existence as a excuse for the. summer movers the sinners are. searching. for. him and those who just don't know where they're going to nuke you know that oh. i'm talking about is a very international community i. mean it used to be perfectly. just . as the. you. know the position of the words

used in the business for their nuclear cooperation is everything that you are saluted with. to do with. the. fact that all day but they decided not to take the place. i gave you that. i wouldn't support a sort of. trump per se and i think long before we reached this point there should have been enough and there should have been a set of guidelines and rules. technology platform followed around specific kinds of cases by which people might be maybe even not the platforms. there on the way to their views they are stealing information that is going viral that is

obviously false. and or heedful. by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content it is heat for enviro in both cases we need to enter the. conversation over big tech censorship continues on thursday a federal judge blocked parlors request to be reinstated on amazon's web service amazon cut the social media platform off from its web hosting services back on january 6th following riots at the u.s. capitol in their ruling us. district judge barbara ross dean wrote quote the court rejects any suggestion that the public interest favors requiring

a ws to host the incendiary speech that their record shows some of pearlers users have engaged in for more on the towers as these big tech companies have let's welcome political commentator and host of pseudo intellectual foreign chen lauren thank you so much for joining us today let's start with the latest here how big of a blow is this to perl or and is this an issue of free speech or the rights of companies unfortunately this is a huge blow to parlors attempt to try to get their web site back on line and honestly i think this is the work of activist judges is very much hope they will appeal because the fact of the matter is the more that we've investigated the issue it's clear that these capitol hill riots which by the way were conducted by a small number of people compared to the overall presence that day who was there to protest these people were not active planning this event on parlor what we actually see instead is that these user or use users were more active on facebook so the

whole idea that amazon is taking this action against partly because of what happened on that day i think is just a facade for what is actually the actions of a cartel looking to suppress their competition you know that's a really interesting point looking at the fact that there wasn't a lot of frustration with facebook over this or with the fact that facebook didn't really move in to do anything or to you know try to raise red flags about the fact that all of these users were talking in congregating on their website now talk about facebook and twitter bans and we're also talking a lot about a lot of people sort of flocking to other social media platforms i mean we have telegrams signal me we they've all been top contenders do you see these alternative flat forums continuing to grow in popularity especially with other web sites like twitter and facebook banning thousands of users. well to your point about no one really raising a stink about facebook's role in the in the capitol hill riots i would also like to

point out that there have been murdered rapes and unfortunately suicides that have all been broadcasted on facebook lifestream me and yet there's been no action taking taken against facebook to try and limit their reach or anything like that actually on the contrary silicon valley has been continue to be propped up by the establishment government in terms of the tech platforms that are out there you know parlor is one of the bigger ones there is. actually gaining as well i think there is this huge need in the market for a platform that won't try to editorialize what views you are and are not allowed to see we see that especially among the republican party that a lot of conservative commentators actually myself included are feeling very stifled there is absolutely and an even an uncool enforcement of their terms of service people are looking for alternatives but my worry is that silicon valley will once again act in collusion with each other to prevent these up and coming competitors are actually gaining any ground we've seen what they try to do to gab

they simply platform them they've had to find their own servers in order to host their content it's exactly what parlor is now going through recently mines also came under fire from i think it was either google or amazon allegedly for hosting sensitive content and you know the establishment players in silicon valley can claim that this is all about protecting people from violence and whatnot but let's not forget that twitter still has a huge problem with child pornography that they have been able to address all this time so my hope is that they would spend just a fraction of their time focused on that real issue as well as human trafficking instead of trying to suppress the voices of people like president trump there really are some real issues here and it is interesting because i think a lot of times whenever we talk about what the market could do they say oh we'll create a new flat for him well then you have parlor coming along and all of a sudden they're going to get kicked off of every major platform because we're starting to rely. is that amazon facebook twitter and google they own just about everything now i want to bring section 230 into this because we've seen some

bipartisan support for reforms which could make social media platforms liable for their users post and all of the content they put out there how do you see this playing out now that we have biden in the white house and democrats as the majority in congress. right so for people who aren't familiar in the audience with section 230 essentially what it says is that if a social media platform is just that a platform that does not control or editorialize its users content and that platform cannot be held legally liable for what someone might post on their site for example if i post copyrighted material on to youtube the person who owns that copyright cannot then turn around and sue youtube for copyright infringement because hey they are just a platform you know at the core of that measure i think it's a good idea and i think it's important for the free exchange of information on the internet however what president trump did in the executive order that i think was very very important was that he clarified that platforms cannot claim the use of

section 230 while simultaneously acting like publisher is i.e. editorializing their content choosing what users can and cannot see you don't get to claim no responsibility for what users post on your platform when in reality you are you are taking a big role and deciding what is and what is not ok on said platform in my opinion the trump executive order that was put out before he left office actually if it were to be followed would make places like you tube twitter and facebook ineligible to claim section $230.00 protections now that i am is in the administration he has voiced the desire to repeal section 230 and it's interesting because section 230 gets a lot of criticism from both sides of the aisle but from very different perspectives the democrats right now they feel that places like facebook and twitter they should actually be playing a bigger role in policing speech taking down what they label misinformation and the likes whereas republicans feel that the editorializing has gone too far so

unfortunately if you're a fan of free speech on the internet things are likely going to get a lot worse before they get better with biden in the administration yeah it'll certainly be interesting to see what they mean by administration decides to do to tackle this issue 4 and 10 thank you so much for your time but that's it for this time he can catch boom bust on demand on the porn. t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets through google play in the apple app store by searching portable t.v. or simply check it out at portable t.v. was the next time and as always don't forget to question more. sweet taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game then a 2nd wave is coming now the virus is mutating and i'd walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holiday gifts not. meanwhile patients who

recovered from cove it started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. it's one of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. you appear to be 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various sources reports that didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. does the bush. just there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talked to multiple doctors in my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or.

i wouldn't quit cd they support sort of the banning of trying i think long before we reach this point there. should have been enough and there should have been a set of guidelines and rules. technology platforms followed around specific kinds of cheeses by which people might be maybe even not deep platforms into steps they're on the way to their view they are stealing information that is going viral that is obviously false and or heedful. by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content it is heat full and viral . she says we need to consider the.

bad guys or for my guide to financial survival this is as if a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get informed as we are. right now. overweights obits it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific. so what's

driving the obesity epidemic it's. the headlines in r.t. a towering figure in broadcasting for 7 decades legendary interviewer larry king has died at the age of $87.00. also to come protesters take to the streets in moscow and across russia calling for the release of the opposition activists alexina valley with a high turnout amongst the younger generation and major muslim federations in france reject him on your math problems and extremism chart designed to combat radical islam the president of the paris islamic confederation tells us why. draw many paragraphs anyway asking muslims to. position on subjects that are obvious so .
