Most importantly, you or you you are here, and that makes this stuff they what do you know it is the top of the week, which means time for some strange news before we begin today, I'd like to extend a hearty congratulations to the people of Iceland. Who have officially concluded some some great results from their risk
Experimentation with afford a work week in something a lot of people talk about some. that. I think a lot of people who have a five day work week are big fans of personally So if you were in Iceland, let us know tell us how it's going goes to you, you might be listening to this on your extra day off waiter. Socialism work. scenario is there listening to it, while their at work? For one of his days very go it's it's funny, because for people outside of the. U S, o one of the only times that the average viewers employee is going to get a abbreviated week is going to be due to a holiday like recently the? U S observed July. Fourth, witches
the celebration of the country's independence from the British, and that meant that we all got a Monday off well off the forever right right, yeah, it's also its fourth of July, a amateur our! Is this? What I like to refer to it as people don't know how to act. Ben gleam in San Diego. Apparently there were all in California in general, you how flammable things are there just all kinds of horror stories about people being very irresponsible with fireworks and apparently in San Diego fireworks display some air led to all of them going off at once was supposed to be like a thirty two. Forty men display they just blasted. It was he's, probably pretty cool, but then all It's gonna like ok, that was there was little quick, but also a scary. If you were nearby imagine year gives it raturans yet the chance to say see what
happens when you have a little bit of freedom as well. This is on its way, is part of the reason why I don't particularly care for the phrase slippery slope. using it in a figurative sense, every slope is slippery. Evoke like saying eighty commissioner Van number to imply otherwise, but at this point We cannot wait to share with you some of these strange stories. We encountered When last we spoke fellow conspiracy, realist we're diving into the world of psychedelic were diving into the world of fraud and we we are diving into the troubling future of your dreams. Matt you tell by my intonation I'm kind of data you're wrong. I do yeah, don't totally am just think about last week and just doesn't have day for everyone. Birds still are not real, at least according to that group
Ok! So thank you for, of course, whose guy got a few messages about that, but, yes Ben. We are heading into the world of dreams and not just the coup the wizard ones where you do whatever you want that? dreams where advertisements play on a loop nonstop for the rest of your dream comes, this instantly makes me think of that black Mare episode, twenty million merits. Having is what it's called where you have to like pay token, essentially to shut off the advertisements, not that happen in your dream. That should happen in your waking life, but you do can't look away, and if you close, your eyes like you now Are you in forces you to look and finish the ad less you pay to have suspended I'm I'm I'm I'm sorry, that's in her up and let them getting serious blackmail survives. I'm excited, but this one to me, because I think we were both reading about it fairly in depth. A clock. Some
it feels like we share the same strange radar, because this is something this kind of science before its, we're senior early stages, commercializing it, but this kind. Science sure will talk about, has been a a goal. A lot of research institutions, governments and private for some time it's just kind of like the story with clouds seeding, the aid is not yet as sophisticated or as targeted Some people would like it to be, but that that may change pretty sooner yes, and we are not. In black mirror territory. As of this moment, what's what we're going to discuss is ace lope, which is inherently slippery there, that's just by its very nature. Ok! So we're gonna begin with a story here out of the guy Gideon titled nightmare scenario scenario, if sure nasty keys
keep it alarm. As advertisers seek to plug into our dreams in here just the first few paragraphs when brewing giant cores launched a new advertising campaign. Earlier this year, the format came as a surprise to many, the company was planning to infiltrate people's dreams to get them to buy in presumably drink cores beer by the way pulling myself out of the article here. I am a fan, of course, in Brittany, earthly dusk, down easier when it comes to dream, will be here is, of course, is one of those beers that you know it gets a hard time by some folks. Who might Sir themselves, Cicero ones, which is the beer, a quiver the small yea, for. Why did you, as our word, burger yeah? But it's it's I feel like if you paying and you're being responsible, then Jimmy
Could you what's that this kind of this kind of seems unusual for a beer that People do not consider topped here. You know they consider it like a barbecue. Kick it taken back and back. Our agenda beer. Yes, if you travel to Jersey and hang out with my inlaws course is the beer of choice, and I wonder how much that has to do with their advertising campaigns when I just instinctively when I think about coerce, I think about that can with the mountains the rocky mountains is it TAT, the Rockies isn't that their official log in their own in the Paul. I all I know, is what what the images, conjured up when I think about course, yields very refreshing like just from their already regular old advertising campaigns right sure, but if we jump to you're, trying to do now. How many go back to that article says course encouraged people too,
such a short online video before going to sleep and then play an eight hour, sound escape through the night, so while they're sleeping and if successful, this quote targeted dream incubation would trigger refer, king dreams, of course, according to the company and yet more first things. First, this this is some that can't be real sites. Yes, I'm afraid very democratic. It can certainly be you Real science it's definitely weird science is this. This is like, like implanting subliminal It in your mind that carry over into your dream and sort of influence given dove, but in this case it's not so limited per se, because in that, in scenario,
your generally being presented with something subliminally that you have no idea signing up morass creating this is this is something you choose to do so in this campaign course could not make you do this. You had to internally watch a video, then listen to this aid. Our sound scape as they call it it's it's really interesting stuff- and they did this in January of this year, alongside these superbowl brand then no pain, this giant commercial which they couldn't do because this other beer company China, has the lock superbly beer commercialization daddy ICE, generally recognised the horses through the horses passably ribbon, yes and say: that's an award winning beer, you guys I'm sorry, sir.
everybody who doesn't drink bearers too young to their joy de beers, such a silly concept. The bit is I'd like it. I like that You know the names, the histories, that's a whole other show itself by white you're. What your time about is kind of a lead, bridging those those pre exist, associations right, like the sensation of hot or cold right, the air, the taste which you know some people enjoy some people hate, probably the smell right there there. There are a lot of ways. This could go so smell. Do we have access to this sounds scape for clip purposes or as a cigar, you only got if you sign up for the pilot programme, I haven't been able to find the Eurostat files, I'm sure they exist somewhere, I was unable to find them. I could you can't find the original link. There was she
when this campaign was happening in January, twenty twenty one, but you can into it'll just take it, the cores. What is it? Wilson Cores website and most incurs website like will tell you about it in those yacht some vis, those of like how they did how they did this whole thing and parts of the video. But I haven't been able to find that sounds scape. Let me know if you guys happened upon it somewhere, because for to theirs yeah probably gonna keep digging after after we record today, because I'm on very much interested in this sort of science, but also in advertising way. This is a bit of asymmetrical warfare. Isn't it if the if the beer? historically gets. Those Superbowl place those superbowl spots. If they can be considered like the? U S or something, then this is
This is the equivalent of saying why build an aircraft carrier way? We can build something the blows up an aircraft carrier much less expensively, but match. This is not occurring without push back from experts. There is an open letter that you can read by Robert Strict Gold, Antonio Sandra and Asia, H Har HIV are you can find this just search for advertising in dreams is coming now what you'll be ill defined. I found it. I, like, I think, some public just a public, server somewhere that had this, and in here you are being pushed back from a lot of different groups and people just saying hey maybe we shouldn't advertise tube, people, while they're sleeping in they call it
thing, a massive slope, because courses in the first group were company to try this stuff. When Xbox Ex series was coming out, They tried to do the same thing. They actually random are in again its associated with marketing campaigns. It's like a marketing campaign, it's like matter go dolls of marketing, we're like it's more inside a marketing campaign and where they were both they could get gamers to dream in Xbox games, essentially or to dream of Xbox Games, so the you can It is by the way, if you who had gone over to I founded on the drum dot com there, a couple other places you can find this: it's a marking campaign with the Mccain World Group company they bunch of gamers attach these really interesting looking devices to their foreheads had them The new Xbox Ex series for, like a long time,
then held him, go to sleep with this thing attached and they would communicate with the gamer, as they were sleeping so like right as they got into REM, sleep pull them out by saying. Oh, tell me, we're, seeing what you're dreaming about now there grab it dolly with a spoon right. Yes, yeah, why When one of the people was dreaming about using a power called stasis, that's feet, in one of the best settings destiny. To has this power calls this and he was running away from monsters and then realize that he could use stasis in health to hear friends escape A person was imagining master chief DJ, Adam Club, it was I mean it's interesting stuff. It becomes this like big marketing campaign for export. and how great is and how much the gamers love it. The people who were played this new system, yet
there's a really interesting point? That's made in the open letter that you describe math, others red that is our dreams cannot become just another playground for corporate advertisers regardless, of course, and their actions at the stage for a corporate assault of our very sense of who we are, and it's not difficult to men, who is add campaign negatively impacting abstinent alcoholics and they go on to talk about how people dream about a drug or something that they once struggled with section of our much more likely to have cravings could be a very I slope, keeps what about it, and it is especially for things like alcohol or aroused regrets were underage drinking. That's another thing that is, that the huge problem with the technology earth. The eight you know not specifically the technology, but the application of this technology like with they were just aid. If the. If they were doing something like this is a public campaign.
Get your dreams about the importance of using turn signals and taking shopping, cart back to the place where supposed to drop the shopping, cart off doping, answer. That's the only way to get by right. Let us is this year. This could be problematic for some people, folks in recovery, and it doesn't just have to be our folks in general and recovery from some substance abuse still forward. The future met gamma ray and because there I would love it. If I could play cyber point in my dreams, right gotta would love thy thou, be so much fun. All the glitches would be gone. Everything the framework will be perfect, is ill, it's fun class, but look up burger king nightmare king. Another situation where a company was trying to use dreaming up a product into their benefit through more
getting campaign lasting one of the big scary parts of this issue. The fact that a lot of us have those little spies that we keep our houses, you not just the ones in our our pockets with our phones, children, go. Oh yeah, those two curly not accessible by marketing companies, to say things I will but the You know your Google homes in your Alexis and all that there is a future general, where a company could trick you interest enough for something where certain things play you're sleeping because people are ring. This watches that monitor our sleep, even loon, sometimes can do that. If, if you, if you network. Knows your sleep in your go ram sleep. Something could be done. To play on one year devices where you're getting criminal or non subliminal, Avc
rising. Why her sleeping in the future, it will require an opt in, but it could be one of the things that, like maybe you don't even know that you have to, and yeah really requires an opt out more familiar. If you sign up for this service, you're gonna get a certain disco exactly right, I mean that's how it all happened. That generally the way I'm thinking about this anyway, you can All of this stuff up right now check it out the guardian article. One more time is titled nightmare scenario: alarm as advertisers seek to plug into our dreams. Look it up read about it and prepare your dreams for these advertisers. Oh there, it is inside just gonna. Tell you about chaffing at home sense, our yeah. I need to check that out is a guide Ets, fatter than good trust me, it's a whole new ain't, a sharp, maybe even life, changing
seriously. Oh yeah, see home sense as part of the home goods family, so you know going in that everything will be less than you expect to pay. I love that, and here is the best part. Home sense is never the same store twice. they put out new items, are weak long, so there's always something new. Every visits, kinda, like a treasure hunt. The other day I found a zebra print accenture I could use a new chair. Homesteads has stuck to plus up every room in your house, there's so much to choose from furniture rugs light a hall, the decorous, so many throw pillows while art and bulls. Ok, you got me: I've gotta check out home sense. You can take a virtual to on line and get directions to the store at home, sends dot com au. And when you go, you take me with you, deal. This episode stuff they don't want you do know, is brought to you by lifelike. Remember the saying: if you love something set it free
either one. If it doesn't come back to you, it was never years to begin with. I was a little confused by that, but if people do say, they are well when it comes to your identity. The folks at lifelong are calling bs yeah, all those nights working overtime, saving up all that chatter paid if all that debt now some identity thief wants to try and set it free, they say that you talk and you know what we agree yeah and that's why, I flew by Norton, helps monitor your information and alert you to potential identity threats, and if you do become a victim, a dedicated, U S, Bay specialist will be there to help fix it now. Remember no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. But when I did the thieves try to take. What's yours, you don't have to take it lying down, so now, you can save up to twenty five percent off your first year by going to lifelong dotcom, slash conspiracy, that's life, locked dot, com, slash conspiracy for twenty five percent,
off and we ve returned Matt. I want to go back to new. Is this earlier? Conversational just have before the break. I strongly believe this should be a full episodes. So, let's let Silas see what you have to say about it. Conspiracy. Realist in the meantime war way for that episode, though I wish him intriguing good news. It's also it's story that takes place one of the most enigmatic environments known to this species the human mind. We know about much of the about the human mind is. We do about things like bottom of the ocean, which is to say not very much at all, like so so very little that you should be worried by that fact, because the stop the speed, just figured out has generally been used to
Happily, groups of people rather than better quality of life for humanity or the quality for non humans on this planet. Here's some good news that the brain I psychedelic, mushrooms, spirits, realist, reload timeless, serene, or we love talking about this stuff. We were talking about the edges of inner and outer space and psychedelic- can take you on those journeys either not played with recreation we. This is, of course legal requires me to say this is not stuff I don't want you to know said: go do mushrooms there foolish. They are very cool, but we're not lead Lee telling you to do that, then someone, the club of what you just said out of context. God help. You know it
true there's room, we're living in an interesting age to ripen, were there's tons of new research wireless, finding out new things and new properties of these substances. That lend themselves to some positive things, whether it be in mental health or tear we say even like some weird form of evolution? That's eras! We ve talked about this little bit in the past, especially the idea that there may be some role psychedelic played in the a rise of what what became religious right? The precedents for that abstract, sort of belief system? What d search the research into the hazards, and the potential advantages of psychedelic use has been stymie. for generations in the recent era, because they were associated with hard drugs. Things like crack, cocaine, heroin, powerful opium aids, but now
were reaching a new era of research for psychedelic, this she's is learning some fascinating things in a lot of this research comes about due to tragedy donations due to what PTSD survive. birds from recent conflict and they're trying to say you know what what can We do to alleviate these. These conditions that are preventing us from living our lives to the fullest extent. Research shows that where so called match Mushrooms can can play a rule eaters why. This is news, a reason study found that psychedelic suicide and specifically doesn't just address feelings of meal mental illness or feelings of anxiety, PDF,
depression so on they found that it actually physical change. Is the structure of the mammalian brain. I in a very recent study that was published July fifth twenty twenty one. Researchers found that do seen. Mice specifically and create what they call neural. Adaptations we'll do some suicide and leads to a ten percent increase in both the size and density of what are called dendritic spy. And we did all episode to get into the nuts and bolts of this- but the important part is that for Its physically changing the brain is helping the brain recover in way that are scientifically unprecedented for kind of application. This me,
Once again, this is not a recommendation. Your mileage may vary. This means that if hypothetically you ingested these substances, they could he'll damaged brain cells in people suffering from depression. The second thing is that is a lasting solution. The study, which is again publishing neuron, finds that this, what they, structural remodeling occurs within money for hours. So it happens very quickly after you take a deuce, hallucinogens and then, when they, researchers went back and checked on their test subjects. A month later they found Changes remained the same. This came from searchers in California, but it's quite possibly eating a revolution in this era of research. No, it turns out that
Maybe those this is your brain does. Is your brain on drugs adds with the egg and the frying pan? It turns out that maybe they were onto something but in some cases it might be a good thing. This is stimuli in the growth of new branches in connections between brain cells. That means it might not just help address things like chronic depression, which incredibly dangerous, but it could help Amelia the symptoms of addiction, so we will suspected this for a while, but have you guys ever of guys heard of search like this, I will I was surprised. I thought maybe he's just a pop sigh headline, but it's legit I and then I asked you never even really associated the idea of things depression or anxiety as being because of brain damage, exact at an not exactly was being said by, I think, that's in and of itself as a fascinating, take away to consider how little we do know about about the brain and how magic
all these things are for lack of a better Durham? That's for their called for a reason. as they definitely do things and nothing else can an image to see where this goes been I'll. Give you my unscientific remembrance of how this has been talked about with me in the past. Just in conversation, I believe the concept was when someone is, maybe stuck in a rut mentally when it comes to anything specifically if you're, if you're feeling depend and maybe there's a there's, a track that kind of never stop playing in your mind, pleasure kind of stock in that one place. If this substance really can, as you said, enhance those Neuro receptor, change them a bit and allow you to break some of the cap. vacation, that's going on there, even though the calcium is not involved, shot her dreams metaphorically. I that's always been spoken to be like It all help you rewire your brain, but it was always in an abstract
kind of way, not in at least from what I remember, reading, never shown to actually physically change those the ass. me Libya, ugly. So this is this something that will be of interest. I think, too, to a lot of US policy. your home, where your job or nicely when your day off? Congratulations again, I depression. Can types of depression can affect your brain? Lee indebted mental ways. According to the lead researcher of this latest study. A doctor, David all said he says, quote one of the hallmarks of depression is that the new rights in the pre frontal court, That's a key brain region that regulates a motion, mood and anxiety view those new rights tend to shrivel up because you're the brain functions in many ways like a muscle in your way, you can see some of these changes in cases of addiction, PTSD and so on. So it's
tarnishing to realise we talked about this little bit. Never so we did a long time ago, mind over matter right like these. you know. You see the studies of certain monks. Holy wholly aesthetics right and they they have met it. did so long that the parts of their brain that are associated with empathy and compassion are physically, larger and denser than those of the average person, and if that sounds Two legible Wu Wu explanation. Folks, then consider also the famous black cab drivers. Of the United Kingdom. They have to take this monstrous test called the knowledge and ate it teaches them out. Basically, they memorize London in there? is what, if scenarios and they care, he can't you gps or anything and after those folks had been driving for a number of years, the parts of their I believe the hippocampus in a couple of other spots, the partners She hated with memory in spatial reasoning is also
physically larger. Your thoughts shape the organ that, while your brain calls itself a case is the best with a bullet I, and so with this in mind, you know we have to wonder: are we in the modern world like how much does the the stigma? this sort of experimentation on how much good does it actually do right, as we were, for the majority of psychedelic substances that people are commonly Socio with the phrase psychedelic their illegal in the? U S, if you, Someone suffering from depression, repeat, yesteryear, maybe see, say you're a veteran. Or used arrived, some horrific experienced trauma, and then you get busted by the police. you ve been doing lsd or magic wand. Who's, your in possession of of something like that, then odds are The authorities are not going to say hey, you know, I read a pretty good article and sell earlier that said
This might be a great way to help you get you back on the tractor mental. Well, this apology, sir, please enjoy rave. Now keep keep increase the density of those dangerous sites they won't because this You know like because in the eyes of the law. You are committing a crime and, of course, the legislate, She always lags behind the technology, but I know guys we ve got a lot of people in the audience today who have probably had a similar experience, and it's why you know maybe felt like it was we gave it to the realm of anecdote forever. But now science is backing and what, if you had an experience like this, I think that I think that's profound. I also don't think it's. The same thing is hey everybody here we feel in a little bit down go trip, that's terrible advice. seen in setting play a huge role in this and that the study
I found is well worth. de the red view of the time. It is a little bit dry because its euro would it he's an academic journal, but revelations are fascinating and worthwhile notes. Of course, important caveat. This was done on mice, though there there hasn't been an experiment of this sort replicated on human beings. Or other animals, but it would be interesting. specially Euro, I'm just spitballs here specially- would give it to some octopus is maybe some Corbett's will see. What happens like the octopus certainly enjoy doing India? May it was there Observation on that you heard about that right eye, Nor did you hear about thou in now, I have an extra purposes. Well,
we'll keep closer because we're gonna we're gonna rap, but I do want everybody to check this out. This is a legit storage, you can find it doubtless like NPR so wide. There was a study Game Octopus is ecstasy and ecstasy beings is known for encouraging lake Lee warm feelings, people feel lecture, lovey, dovey, accelerate, Sadr, everything's gonna be ok. They found that when you give this to an hour, those who creature that's almost completely, I social for most of its life, except when its mating. Ah, what they found is that they do a one eighty, they do what emotional and social immature social one. Eighty they want to hang out with. Other octopus is leaving like how them you know. Just like there
both in their hallucinogenic cups at a party- and this is profound because up until this discovery site just to adapt who studied Octopus is usually had to put them in separate, separate. Right, similar Marion's whenever so that they we'll kill or eat each other, so they went. Like a mad max Highlander there can only be one cannibalism situation to be like My guide, the color There's writing and making communicate through chromatophores spray. So what happened when they play the Octopus Zahm Gm T like TAT, and they react to that that that disease the question that I believe the research is still out, though it does appear. Don't call me on This all dig into it, but there is some. One is say there is compelling research about. Octopus is musical preference
by Cameron. What, then, is a camera with that issue, and they run the electric feel really what it is oddly is, but I wanted to give. This is some good news forward with the future scientists who are working around the clock raft in doing thankless jobs. What they're doing important work would love to hear you experiences with psychedelic mushrooms. Does this news in particular surprise, you were you expecting experts to see that. This stuff is literally healing your brain, physical level. Let us no one three three as key be Whitey K, you can also emails conspiracy at Iheart, radio, dot com, we're gonna pause for word from our sponsor Romeo, being your dreams and will return with more strangeness.

Think we ve got this in the works well with briefly talked about on strange news. the situation with John Mc Coffee Lee impresario of anti virus software that went on to become something of a
Lobe Trotting Minos, sex freak among gunpowder just all around odd guy, very problematic, some very troubling allegations about This gentleman in his life, one of which that happened right before he alleged, We committed suicide was that he was doing something called pumping, dump we're here, would take to social media twitter. I think I was his platform of choice and attempt to inflate the value of certain crypto coins that are referred to as all coins, meaning there not the mainstream big dogs of the krypton being things like ether, Bitcoin financed coin, some more kind of tried and true going that that have backing behind them
only in terms of volume, but also in terms of like the code behind them, the use of them for purposes beyond just kind of having a clever name agenda and a logo associated with it and now thing all coins would be things like Dodge coin. That obviously did get some law If, when, when folks like you, I must come and made it their pet projects, that's the issue with Crypto is that it is very volatile and it can be very subject to the whims of influencers. So today we're talking about a new scandal involving some east sports influencers, a group that I never heard of it. I'm sure that no either listeners out their impossible. Your kids will have heard of LOS Angeles based E Sports Group Organisation called phase clan. Essentially, it's like a group of Bacchus almost exclusively
men, I only know a handful of them. The members who were involved today story, but they gonna play things like fortnight competitively and they all each individually are big Youtube within a millions of followers on twitter and of course, you tube several members of female have names to like, certainly cow Wooten Clan members. All have they kind of names that are like sort of related. Each of the members phase clan. Their names begin with the word face and spelled F Aisy, IE, so several members, a phased plan. We ve got phase Kay phase Jarvis phase Khan and Phase Tito T q o are all logically involved in a very agree: Jes Pumping, dub scam involving an all coin the name. Kids K idea. ass, and why do you think that is well supposedly
This coin called long form save the kids, is a charity coin token rather and this is not like the kind of coin that you buy on like a regular crypto exchange. This is it's called a defy project which stands for decentralized finance. So it's essentially these projects that fires as being for forgive me from oversimplifying for any crypto people out there, but defy is essentially the way of creating ass many opportunities and projects that you know have some of the same types of mechanisms as traditional banking or me. No financial changes do but it's completely decentralized and peered appear for the IMF to my understanding that that's what it means there are tons them and honestly I live invested in a few days, more ones and actually have experience where I realized
scary and volatile. These can be by there. You have to be part of something called, but it's a very specific type of Bob chain, that uses was called web three points I believe, like so essentially, is a browser extension that allows you to link a crypto wallet too, these changes and then you're able to you know, unlock various wallets and various they're called pools where you take crypto currency. Example this one took place and once called the banana smart chain which uses by its coin, which is one of those kind of more tried and true and you can either invest the coin convert your by Nance coin. To whatever token is in question like this, one is called kids as other ones. Any name you can imagine like gunk, probably exists as a defy token. You can stake in just that, converted to that and stick it in these pools or you can basically do.
called pairing or you pair ear, regular crypto too, that token and then there should have linked together. So when one fails, if, like the token fails, you have lost everything, is interesting and then a very complicated, but also rife for fraud. Has it when you go to any of these defied pages, There is a message that comes up that says this couldn't be fake: Central. This could be absolute bs proceed with caution You really have to know what you're putting money into and whose behind it and what the code is and what the use of it is. Then, even then you can lose everything so kids this company or this organization which no one still knows? Who exactly came up with this coin? But this organization called say the kids, which is probably most cliche, sounding you now charity. Possibly imagine. I wants to save the kids, who wants the kids to be okay, this token
There is a advertising campaign behind with all of these these phase clan people. you're talking about how they think it's a very valid in investment and something that they all personally are going to hold onto our hotel as the the crypto people say, but it turns out. That most of them got there apps tokens, which means they got it before the actual opened up to two regular people, there, resting it and dumped it. In particular, one member phase K jump Almost a hundred per cent of his leg million plus tokens twenty four hours after it was available to the public and the real research behind the story that I looked into her that I found that I thought was the most fantastic and very, very, very good internet sleeping was in by you to burn it goes by the Monaker Coffee Zella. I can't
Men highly enough to check out his report on this as used to channel, but he the thing is interesting about Crypto is, you can trace mean our wallets? That's all public information, so he was able to literally tracked down the walls that all of these Youtube is used to buy and flip these old coins, and he was able to see a pattern. particular with with phase k that he, what'd the hell out of this coin, using hashtags using all the things and then immediately when it went, live dumped at all, but four of these coins he dumped him almost like a memento of your crime, unaware lamb. So that's essentially where it stands. The most interesting part I think in the biggest smoking gun the coffee, so uncover, because you can also look at the provenance of a chain of custody on the. token itself, that there's developers that that make me
things that build these things there pieces of code, and there are like beta versions and my one point out two point over it, and so he was able using the, see scan, which is like the ongoing occurred for by an ant smart chain transactions. He was able to trace the versions of and send initially the people behind save the kid said. Ok, this is a total safe by because there's, an its rug, pull proof rug, pull is when someone who holds. An exorbitant amount of a particular token there referred to as whales dumps all of their coins, usually very strategically. To manipulate the see now to their own benefit or a handful of these whales collude. In order to do that, the kind of thing that you know as imperfect as it is the S see and you the regulators of the stock exchange. There are measures in place to keep that from habit, but the folks behind save the kid
ok initially set there. This is an unruly political. We have anti whale mechanisms in place which will which prevent anyone from selling point five per. Sent and one transaction of their holdings right of this coin it turns out that the last minute the develop change that yet when you four hours, chow that to one minute centrally implying that they knew it was scam in the first place. and again Coffee Zella, reached out to a lot of the members of this group into the Dracula, guided developing the token and got some really fascinating, really really excellent investigative journalism from from this Youtube, and he got the guide to admit that he was told to do that which implies that these influencers were kind of it. From the start. I can't say that you know the, but that certainly what it feels like
the iron and its essentially really highlighting how gross this kind of influence or culture can be how rife the population and are taking advantage of followers of this. Of these benign fluid. There can be how maybe there is need for a little more regulation. Again, I'm fascinated by the whole world of crypto in the fact that it is kind of open ended, but this seems to be a bridge too far, especially when charities involved in your dangling this, like helping helping out under privilege get also that the mission of the organization super vague he is so vague, like were ok, which organisations is going to which kids are you saving? It was very unclear several. It's it's interesting to me as I think cave the key issue, is the one on the most extreme. The spectrum, so he's the one who got kicked out a phased plan. He really took pains to try to do
since himself for being associated with a puppet dumb scheme like you like you, said the top that Mcafee have been accused of a blight this. This is tough for him to walk back, because I you know one of his defenses, I love this space, my wallets public, etc, etc. But you can't that doesn't addressed the timeline right like no, it goes public. The initial public often happens and then within moments. I d gotten rid of all, but four of these coins after after org Lee purposely inflating their value right? So the question, then comes a little bit suffered approve, is the intention Are we to believe that someone genuinely said hey? I just learning about a really new space. I think it's complicated, but I must up and I didn't mean to screw anyone over. Is it plain dumb? That's the question
Well with him. What coffee Zella uncovered gonna through again tracing the UK, any transactions are all public and he figured out whose, while I was whose of the other members of phased plan, their behaviour was much less, egregious and in showed much less nefarious intent because, in general, happens. A lot where I can all coin will pay like enough answer say to pump up there to try to promote this project. you don't really believe in and you're just doing it to collect the free tokens. Make no mistake: they're getting these four free, sure initially as their payment- the only way they're gonna cash is, if they like, you know. So I m right, and in these projects, can can turn on a dime guys Lincoln's crazy. I again I'm really done a couple, but I had one where you know it was trading it like a couple bucks and then ex tags. I was very new, but this next I looked at it met with less than a sent you now
thankfully, I was not in it much at all, but these these projects can really go south, especially if there isn't that Anti whale protection and the fact that they advertise them as on rug, pulling Total, and I well you know, protections and place and then literally change the right before going public to one minute time limit for selling. That's, not. A percentage apparently being based on phase case back Europe is much of it as he wanted. But some of the other members who are not kicked out a phased plan who were just spend three of them. You can look at their history, there transaction history and there more likely to have been holding some of these projects, so it seems that in the past they were more in it because they did believe in it to your point ban, but it seems like face Kase patterns. were much more overall he's in it for himself and he's in a debt to pump and There are a lot of these. It needs to be said that a lot of the members of phased plan
an animal followers are themselves. Quite young. You know what I mean. Why said you kids, I'm in this- isn't that I'm not and on really in my asked my kid a sheet heard of em sighed. She had neither she's pretty into the twitch stuff but you're. Actually, had been and there's a great article These are a lot of these these deeds by the way our British, days. K absolutely is, and there's a really great article from EAST Sports NEWS, Doc code, DOT, UK that has a quote from as you see Chairman Gary Chancellor obviously as a proponent of regulating the crypto markets, and he said of this type of situation quote. I like to see. No, we need tighter strict penalties and disclaimers put in place to better protect young impressionable people out there that might take their favorite full answers, words as gospel,
and there's a larger there's a larger contacts. Here I would argue, which is that it faced an interesting people say they reach their height of relish steering the call of duty. three days for high and what I which was more reported in when these stories are realised, its an ongoing event in is the borrows of our social media chatter right. It consumes its tail eventually, but will the bigger point here, at least in my opinion I may be wrong? Is that this is an example of something that many many other groups were. Influencers could easily do in some people get a little bit of a blindness when they see I always thought the bad thing was silly, but some people get a little bit of blindness when they see someone they follow the maybe as legal check Mark or what are the athwart, the authentication things and that person says
your phantom. I I really like this. I endorse that. You know what I mean that people like this doesn't have to be restricted to the world of gaming plans. This could happen. with someone who is a make up made. This could have Was someone who I dont know what it would have people review there somewhere like just as chicken sandwiches and the chickens, which guys like Chicken Kuwait right now do we have any the currencies of coming in the next couple of quarters guys know? No one can do yes, my favorite you're right and by anyone who, as sufficient enough reach, could do this right and that's why it's been. Dead. So tough we had people like Elon Musk in you know Mister Mcafee, because they get they ve got our reach interest in money. and they just go- hey check it out and I may make a ton of money when they were. There is a god on us now, Did you know, phase has
Lana clan. Nor does it really sub clan, yes, and they bad asses. It call of duty to tell me more about this. The situation they how many people were talking when I hear phased plan again, I think of Light Arap group in there's, like ten guys total, but this is of no the organization be sub groups kind of because, ok, so the I forgive me phase clan low people who out there if you're listening. But my understanding is that the Atlanta group is only like three to five may be for people and they they specializing call of duty so deep they live in I call of duty all day long they win tournaments playing call of duty. There's! Oh gosh. I remember something about them, winning they won some, pretty recently remember hearing about this move, but then there are others that just play Lord and I'm blinking, all the other things like fever, some people for our lives lay pub e er fortnight or those kind of things by then you'll have some
or crews. You just do that. Some people are just content creators who were members of phased plan, so influencers not that the programmers aren't probably influencers in their own right, so people or more the video creators and that's what they specialise in two hey if you're out their Atlanta phase hit us up, I loved chat with somebody about what that's like to live here. For it now being a programme, Why you have added a veto? here. You know so near the black widow, Thomas or- U Kobayashi You listen to showing you one of those people who, if just been dates, Hata content. Do you landed Atlanta phase? Eads news, like like black widow, eats and saw ducks thirty seven twelve minutes the stats how'd you
railed, do not know where we're we're there guys. I mean there's justice just ready, so it up phase clan no proper, issued a statement we have made the decision to remove K from phased plan and have suspended Jarvis Knee can and go until further notice, phased plan has Lately, no involvement with our members activity in the crypto currency space and we strongly can their recent behaviour. The trust and respect of our fans has been and will always be our number one priority, so they and unjust again to see understand fully. I think we made this You said this on the way, but I need this. This project, token. It absolutely crumbled right. It started off, and indeed this is like very similar to tat. Big Doze Riley's are fractions, There are a couple of sense right per share, asked why this order,
about dealing in volumes of millions, and I think, at the end of the day, phase K made around thirty grand American off of the steel probably not worth holiday these having to eat. Now I would I and so it it started off at an all time. High point: zero: zero. Forty four on June tenth, Then after that sell off it absolutely tanked the token and went down to zero zero, eleven and the time of this peace in crypto slate dot com by Liam Frost, it was worth point: zero, zero, thirteen, so essentially worthless and AIDS. an on going story. So there are going to be more updates to follow not just on the saga of phased plan, but on the ethics of Crypto in general.
