[Assistant] And that's what podcasting, I guess, ideally is gonna do, right? Is just gonna be able to make people like, if you're some 18 year old kid, but you've listened to hours and hours of me and Charlamagne and Joe Budden and Norrie and Dame Dash and all these like different interesting people who do podcasts and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you think that kid's a lot better off from hearing a bunch of OGs or people who are possibly on the way towards becoming OGs in entertainment exchanging ideas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yeaah, they're kinda on their own. Yeaah, they gotta figure it out in terms of becoming better people. I mean, you know, to a certain extent I'd like people to like take a positive influence from what I'm doing, but I mean, I'm not like a motivational speaker. I'm not trying to like overtly like be out here like I'm gonna educate you. Let me tell you what I think you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of my roles over the years have given me a rather bizarre appreciation for certain qualities that really count in creating a memorable character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arrogance, avarice, and uh, touch of evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this past year, I've discovered three of the most bewitching young ladies, all of whom possess those attributes I so admire in a woman. In fact, just thinking about them now sends a delightful chill up the middle of my spine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's the true woman of the 90s, stylish, independent, and always up for a good street fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's enough to make my skin crawl, and actually I rather enjoy it when my skin crawls. Then there's Lucy Porter Mane of General Hospital. She's a lusty woman who knows how to make a man happy by giving him all those sinful pleasures he might not get at home. She has the face of the girl next door and the morals of Captain Hook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I most admire the impish joy Lucy derives from the little things in life, such as getting a bag full of diamonds. Was greed ever lovelier?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to say to the actresses who play these devilish vixens, I know in real life you're all fine, upstanding, warm-hearted, and generous human beings. And those, dear ladies, are qualities that really terrify me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See Hall Auto Mall. Virginia Beach Boulevard, east of Rosemont Road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing will come between us now, my sweet. You and I will be good friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that remains is one final test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I couldn't thank everybody, but I could, would love to thank Michelle Lee and Teddy Shackelford and Joan Van Ark who've been with us all the way through. We've had a wonderful, wonderful run and we're very, very, very pleased and very happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the most important part of this whole time has been my friend and my partner, Mr. David Jacobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otsoberg, the big star of the anime training program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just deeply fucking stupid. Oh. Your body. Your mind. They're not yours anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the glorious new world order, there won't be any room for broken toys like us!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mo Yuan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've tackled some hard-hitting issues as well as plumbed the depths of emotion. There are thousands of scenes of which we are very proud. Here are two of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you as a white man know about what black people want? Real talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, I have to just thank some people who have kept me alive this past year. My mom and dad and Elva and my brother David and my best girlfriend Jennifer. Jenny girl. Sorry. And uhm, Paul and uhm, most of all, to thank God, and most of all I have to thank


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great thing about Claire Levine to me is that she's given me not one, but two of the best characters I've ever had a chance to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really like, damn, he's concerned with his teeth, what a grown up young man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're just, you're just always out here with the, with the AirPods in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they definitely, you're right, they kick into gear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's always like that though, like when the iPhone first came out, when you were like one, uhm, it wasn't like people were dying to get their hands on the iPhone, it's like they had to keep building on it, making it better and better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like sometimes I'll like, she'll take a picture of me and I'm just wondering like, why does this look so bad?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's, let's make a promise. Next time that we get a big bag, we're gonna buy our people's brand new iPhones. Yes. Actually, I'm gonna announce right now that Laura on my post says I'm gonna buy you a brand new iPhone. That's crazy. That's like a rack right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She deserves it. Just have a better phone, yea. So that when she takes pictures of me, I look better. Anyway. YNWB slam. How you livin' bro?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're living good, you're living great. Talk to me about uhm, so you're from where again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where you're from. Okay. And so, what was your life like up until the point where, uh, you know, you started to... I mean, it's kinda hard to even contextualize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause, sorry, what you're saying is that the kids that you go to school with, they don't understand that you, you got priorities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right. That's cool. But so back, back where you grew up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like it's the biggest deal in the world when you're a kid and anyone you know is famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But was there a point where all of a sudden his fame started to reach the level where they started to have to care? Because that's kind of how I was with, with Melly. Cause I knew Melly when he didn't have anything going on. I knew about his music before he even got out of jail. And then, you know, it hits off, but then it just kept reaching bigger and bigger levels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're learning the lesson at a young age that people are fake. You gotta be careful who you associate with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? In Miami, you've kinda keep it close? Cause it's kinda weird for you to let somebody in at this point, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you always like a popular type of kid or what kind of kid were you in school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So was, had you even thought about making music before your brother put the idea in your head or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like you were just chilling playing video games because you were maybe a little bit scared to like go out and try new things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that that's like a really good look, cause like, like do a lot of your friends, most of your friends, they play Fortnite. It's kind of a common thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that if your brother hadn't gotten into the rap thing that you would have just been like fully into the video game thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you met any of them? You met FaZe Banks? I can introduce you. I feel like he would totally like you. Like he's got Yachty and FaZe, all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that's like the goal for young people right now is to be in phase or to be like a Fortnite god? Is that like a very common goal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goaded. That's such a weird transformation of slang that it went from being a goat to being goaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like sarcastic though. I'll tell a kid like, you the goat. And it's like, he knows what I mean. It's basically like, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're pretty open minded. I saw a girl, she threw her cat over her shoulder and they didn't kick her off the platform. For real. She threw the cat. Right Yuri? Yuri saw it too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't that kind of the messed up thing about the rap world is that if you got the snake emoji tattoo on your forehead, people would probably be like, oh, he's so dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were two and you were paying attention to Gucci Mane's face tattoos. I honestly think that you've got what it takes to be a rapper based on that alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the legend right there. Even if y'all don't listen to his music, at some point, pay attention to his career. He's got a great book actually, I recommend you read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. That's a good impression. You should read his book at some point. You read? What'd you read lately?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, if you're used to playing Fortnite, you probably are not going to want to read the Bible, because the Bible's kind of slow compared to Fortnite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk to me about getting into the music and what, like, what was that first video that you dropped where I was, that was kind of a crazy experience for me to be like, oh damn, like, cause I'd met you at uh, Rolling Loud Miami, but didn't know you were gonna come with a serious music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the clout started pouring in, right? I helped start your career. I need a percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good attitude. I tried to sign your brother before he was signed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually no, that was the problem. I tried to sign your brother, but he was already signed. But he didn't like let the label that I was with know that he was already signed until much later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's kind of the problem with somebody owing you a hundred billion dollars is that they probably don't have a hundred billion dollars, so they're never going to pay you back. That's why you can never sue a broke person. But then as soon as somebody rich does something fucked up to you, you can sue them because they got money, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, anyway, so, you start making music, did you feel like you had a natural talent for it right away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your brother, how would you compare your style to your brother? Cause you're very, you kind of remind me of like a juice world, like a more emo sort of sing along, a little mosey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, he was always really interesting because he would just spaz out on beats and be hitting so many different bizarre melodies and flows. He would just shock you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda like, when I first heard Millie, my reaction was kinda like, oh, he's dope, but he kinda sounds like thug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by the end of, by the end of that album and stuff, I started to really be like, okay, he's dope for a lot of the same reasons that Thug is dope, but I don't feel like anybody's looking at him now, like he's biting Thug. What is that face you're just doing this whole time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's doing like a beaver face at me, I don't know if the camera caught that. Is that what you're gonna hit me with when I start talking about music?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have the goal to be like a YouTuber as well? You ever thought about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was pretty good. You sound like you're ready to be a YouTuber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, this is what's interesting is that a lot of people like myself, sometimes we see these YouTube videos that are maybe meant for a younger audience and we just think like, wow, like these young kids are actually falling for this. But it's good to hear that you're not falling for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me say this. So, you start making music, the music starts sounding good, but it's kind of a different decision for you to like really go for it and really put out an official song and do an official video. Talk about that decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your manager, that was kind of the idea, but okay, but even having a manager meant that you sort of wanted to go for the rapper thing, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what surprised me. I thought he'll do a million views just based on being Melly's brother, but then when I saw him do 10 million, I'm like, oh damn. And also when I heard the song, I'm like, wow, this is not just some random ass kid. It's not like a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You shot so many videos you can't even remember what songs you put up. You only have two songs. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but you know, a certain type of artist, like, young boy does better on YouTube than he does on Spotify. It's very, like, visual. People wanna see him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that his chain that you're holding down? Get closer to the mic. That you're holding that down while he's away, or is that yours?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You walking around like a lick. You don't want to be walking around with that much jewelry on, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very smart. So uhm, have you played a lot of shows? How you feel about the live experience?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dirk's album is crazy actually. Everybody go check that out. His most recent project is fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gluten free? Is that what you ordered? You ordered some gluten free Darkeos because you have a gluten allergy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what gluten is? I'm not really sure myself. Something like a carb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want us to get a knife or something? Yea, we got some scissors right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's crazy about that Dark album is that there's a bunch of stuff edited out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, clearly like them saying stuff about their enemies or whatever, but then there's so much crazy stuff on the album that I can't even imagine what they edited out in certain parts, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Come on, that's your boy, you gotta show love even if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, you're not even lying actually, that was a really, really good description of what this tastes like. Cause you do taste that protein at the end. Pause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, turn up your headphones. Alright, let me see. Does that, does that sound better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's gotta suck, huh, cause you've been around me a whole lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it ever get depressing? You like worry about if you're major?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know who he is? He's like the littest 12 year old rapper that I now know about because when we were going up on stage with Uzi we ended up in the same van as him. He was really funny. I wanna check those songs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so who? Who do you consider your competition? Who are you trying to like? If this was the UFC, who would you be facing off against next in your battle to get to the top of the rap game? You gotta fight Drake at the end, but for now you're working your way up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I was thinking that. Cause, you know, his podcast went viral when he came on and he was 12 at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ever had a girlfriend? Too young. You don't got time for all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think this is an important time for you to make a statement about who you are as a rapper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it weird to be so young? I know that you are young, so it's like, you don't know that you're young, but is it weird to like, most of your competition is like well into their 20s in terms of the rap game and you're so young?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got you messed up, right? I was thinking the same thing. I'm like, I don't know if that just did something to me or what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might be laced with something. You don't know what Tarik's into, bro. He's from the streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what they were doing mixing stuff together out there on the streets? I mean, hey, it's a possibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know what Derek was doing in the streets, but I wouldn't put him above mixing the cereal with some, some B12 or something, I don't know. Um, okay, so when's the album coming out? Very soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, but that's the, that's good because I feel like the stereotype about kids that play video games is that they just play video games and they kind of miss out on the rest of life. You know, like if I wasn't riding BMX bikes and stuff throughout my high school years and I just was doing the online thing, I feel like I would have kind of missed out on a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And he's written famous and he's still stressing out over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe that you don't like Ninja. Well, he went to Mixer, so I guess you do have him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what you get for watching all these white boys. There's gotta be some cool streamers that are like, at least a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Where should the people go if they want to connect with your content?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a menace, bro. YNW Beastline, what a guy. YNW forever, right? Yea. Just like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gonna be home soon, right? Definitely. Let's stay positive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] iTunes. Like, comment, subscribe. Tur-key-oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I gotta tell you, I have great respect for the actors. It was not easy. I practiced my acting, I rehearsed my lines, and, well I must say that I'm quite proud of it. And I insisted that they show it to you, so, take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now each of them has selected moments that best capture the spirit and content of their shows this past season. We'll be seeing these highlights throughout the evening, starting now with All My Children and Another World.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To all those tough teachers who made me study so hard. Thanks a million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Sunset Beach, Leslie Ann Down plays a woman in desperate need of romance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh huh, you bet I've been watching, and I found that Soaps do still manage to come up with surprises that jolt the audience. Take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that young man, Aaron Spelling, learned the ropes well because he went on to produce an astounding 3,000 hours of television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Above all, never trust a woman who says she's with child when there's a pillow missing from her bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, I'm very excited to watch. I've really been enjoying Miraculous this season, maybe just because there's been like a lot of Luca, but you know, I've been enjoying it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, please keep in mind this fourth official release of Miraculous either over on Netflix or Disney Plus depending on what country you are in. And if you like this content and want to see my next reaction early, you can check out my Patreon page linked down in the description below to get access to that over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So can we, can we put this check in the Marinette?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caused akumatizing? Or not? Is that fair to say? She kinda caused this, but didn't cause this, but caused this. Oh gosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't we ever get weapons? Why does every other Ladybug-esquey character


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Keith records these lines, does he laugh too or is he like totally serious?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so Chris Master. Santa being here was awesome. I forgot Santa was like real Santa. He wasn't just like a dude. He was like real Santa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one I always forget, so like, we could just like, canonically have Santa Claus, which is kinda crazy. But, I, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a good episode. It was a really good episode, especially because this is family programming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So having, you know, an episode where it's like, we can't give you your present early because of this. Can't always be Christmas. It's a very good episode to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, it helps children understand and have patience. And it's also like Ladybug being like, you have to be good kids. And they're like, okay, Ladybug. So it's good. It's good. Definitely not like my favorite episode, but it is nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you should be good, but it shouldn't just be for like, gifts. It should be because we should just be good people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wish we could have had like maybe just a little bit more of a upfront message. Maybe hammer it in a tiny bit more. But, eh, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm also glad that they kinda discussed, like, we're gonna be honest with each other, no more lying, cause Marinette did lie. A lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, her being honest worked out even better than her lying about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, of course, like small seven-year-old child doesn't want to hear about smoochin' down on somebody. Makes sense. Pretty sure most kiddos are that way. They're like, uuuh, nooo. So, whatever. Whatever, it's cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know Nino had a younger brother. Uh, let's see, does he have other siblings? I don't know. Nevertheless, it was still good. Still very good episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope though, this sounds kinda bad. Hopefully, don't take it bad. I hope we don't get any more Christmas episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda hope there's no more Christmas episodes because we have a Christmas special. And then we have this one, which I think technically counts as a special, the Christmasmaster since it is Christmas-y. But I don't know if it was aired at Christmas or not. But, uhm, I just, I'm kinda done with like Christmas stuff with Miraculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that they're like homies with like Santa. I'm kinda done with Santa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And especially because one is a special and it's a musical. So I'm kinda, I'm kinda done with it. Uhm, hopefully no more specials this Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I felt like this one was good, we're done with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, do I think they probably do another one? Probably, I just kinda, I'm done. Preferably I'd like no more Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I think they could definitely still do things and have things to make you feel good, original, what have you? Yeah, but I kind of prefer like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know if they already have this, but I would love like a Halloween episode. I know these are made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a French company? So Halloween isn't as big as it is in the US?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think having a Halloween episode from Miraculous would be lit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'd be so cool to have like, a Halloween episode where like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't really know who is akumatized?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the fact that everybody's dressed up and he's like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extravagant outfits and some people are dressed up like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The akumatized victims, like their outfits. I think that'd be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause then we have this like, confusion going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we don't know who is the real akumatized, you know, person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think something like that would be a really cool episode. I only know what messes they try to teach or what would happen. And like I said, I know Halloween is not really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As celebrated in other countries, so like, it's probably never gonna happen, but I think it'd be really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I had to pick another holiday that they would do an episode about, it would be Halloween. But I don't think they would, so, a shame. Uh, but overall though,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Marinette kinda learned a lesson, which is always good. She needs it. She's troubled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, learning that she has all the gifts to like, Adrian's like, what, like 35th birthday or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's deeply alarming. Like, girl, please. So, whatever, like, Marinette?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever makes you happy, but please stop stalking Adrian. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways guys, let's continue on to StarTrain!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spreena, is your dad really gonna get akumatized again? Dude, you love your job, like, too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay? Little power hungry, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not that I encourage the murder of butterflies, but these are just questions I suddenly just have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, we didn't even get to really say goodbye to Max. We're like, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I think I speak for everyone when we say Alia is literally the best friend ever. She is literally top tier BFFFFFFF material.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, go darn. If only I could be so blessed to have like a best friend like Alia. That girl is always thinking of Marinette. She is always doing anything she can to help her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she is so s- she's so- she's a real one, okay? She's a real one. So I love her. The fact that she took a picture for Marionette and be like, oh, was it really bad?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she went like, ahhh! She's such a good friend. She is such a good friend. I love her, love her, love her, love her, love her. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, uhm, wow, I did not think, uh, we were gonna get a new miraculous wielder. And now, I should state this, because somebody, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had explained it to me a little bit after the Chloe episode of her Queen Bee thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it actually made a lot of sense. So I just want to like state it because for me, I think it helped kind of clear up a little bit because I think I did have some misunderstanding of the miraculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody is tied to a miraculous. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a situational based thing. Just because, let's say, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the example, just because Chloe was given a miraculous does not mean she's entitled to that miraculous in the future. Somebody else could use that miraculous. And I think that's, uhm, very apparent by the fact that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've even had Cat Noir. You know, Adrian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use the ladybug miraculous. Lady, ladybug. Man. Manbug? Whatever that was, it was weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that's important for me to understand, just because Max has got...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The horse miraculous one time does not mean that Max has to always be the user of the horse miraculous. Which is cool and I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably should have realized that a little bit more after the, uhm, Snake Miraculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we saw, you know, Adrian fail to use it and then we got Luca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't mean Luca always has to be the snake. He could be somebody else too. He could get a different miraculous or someone else could use the snake miraculous. I think the only reason why this show uses the same one is cause, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cheaper not to have to design up a new outfit, model, what have you, when we can already use what we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, using the same person again for the same miraculous is not a bad idea for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just makes the whole explaining process easier. And of course, when we've already used it, we know how it can be useful again, if that makes sense. So uhm, I don't remember who said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But thank you for kinda talking about that and explaining it a little bit more to me. I think my brain just really defaulted to like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chloe had like Queen Bee, so she has to be Queen Bee forever now. You know, it's like this blood oath she took, which is not the case whatsoever. Uhm, there's nothing that like forces them to have to use that miraculous again, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that, like, Max has used the horse miraculous, I'm very curious if he'll be called upon again. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish we could have saw a tiny bit more of it. So like he kind of had like a boomerang-y type of thing. And then he can teleport. Which is such a weird thing for the horse, but I get it, you know, we're like galloping. But it certainly was weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an odd little like power for the miraculous, so I don't know how much teleporting will come in handy for us, but like, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But getting like an out of space, like, excursion was kind of fun. It was cool to kind of see, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The space and get a little bit of London. Um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the fact that we did establish though that the horse miraculous can be used to teleport Ladybug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that was actually really nice to establish that because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that we have these, uhm, miraculous specials, which I'm going to watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New York? I might be saying the wrong two. It's New- no. Shanghai in New York? Oh, I can't remember, but uhm, I know I have two of them I need to watch after season three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we have a miraculous that allows us to teleport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem occurs, though, that Adrian can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we don't know him, we can't, like, be like, come on, Adrian, it's time to go teleport, Paris needs us. So, kind of weird, but meh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, along with that, I like that we also established the fact that if, uhm, I was gonna say Kwami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If one of our butterflies gets too far away, Hawk Moth can't like, connect with them or control them. He loses connection. Which is very helpful to know that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why he can only really target in Paris because that's where he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a certain radius around him and then past that point it's- it's gone. Wifi connection lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think we learned a lot in these episodes. I think they were very, very helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I am curious as we continue on to see what other, like, shenanigans we'll get into, especially with Hawk Moth, because we're, we're basically at that halfway point now where, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things can happen in the season. We might start building up to something. Uhm, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we go, we'll probably get a few more miraculous, uhm, used? Maybe a few more Kwamis? I'm hopeful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we've had, and I'm trying to remember them all, so be patient with me. We have Alia, uh, Chloe, Nino, Adrian technically did, Luca,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have we had another person use a miraculous? I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't think so. I can't think of anybody else. So, I'm curious to see if anyone else will. That feels like the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The theme of this season is using the different miraculous, so I'm excited and hopeful that we'll kind of continue doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm really excited to see what the finale will be this time around. Not that we have a... I'm gonna say it wrong. Myra? Myra? Myra?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fully have her on our side with the senti monster stuff, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, but I'm very, very excited to continue watching. Hope you guys are as well. Thank you as always for watching this. It really does mean a lot to me. Make sure to like, share, subscribe, all that fun jazz, and I will see you all later. Byeeeee!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely disgusting human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The play is over, Galahad. Surrender yourself!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We meet in council two days hence. If you would do us the honor of presenting your findings. You can expect me at Westminster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White chapel is a matter for the civil authorities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay vigilant, all of you. We can expect hot work here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nest of cut purses, collaborators, and whoremongers. I knew it very differently once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We rendezvous at the hospital. Stay on your guard. Understood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rebels are better armed than we expected. There's markings. Look familiar? It's one of ours. Where'd you find this? Follow me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not really. Was pretty much presented as Guantanamo or Servia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Serbia, as far as I can tell, nothing. And nothing from the US government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we are going to take someone after holding them for 14 or 15 years and not let them go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not let them go to the country they want to go to. Not let them go to a place where they feel they themselves will be able to build a life. But force them to another place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I think we have a responsibility to help them adjust to that and make it work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not think he's the only one who's had a difficult time. I think a lot of the other men who have been sent to say Eastern Europe, which is very


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfamiliar culture for them and unfamiliar languages have had a very hard time adjusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which does have a formal rehabilitation program to help them make that adjustment. Those people seem to be doing pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes I do. Mick Mill is a very prolific artist, just like Nipsey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, the dude, his wordplay is crazy. A lot of people take this social media thing a little bit too serious, I think. You know what I'm saying? Like, would you talk that same shit if that man was standing in your face? Probably not. I don't know, I just, social media is just out of control now. People are so disrespectful and so just insensitive to, you know, whatever people got going on in their lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Chris Long. What's up? How you doing man? Did you see Nardward yesterday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In August, September also, November. So basically I am addressing to any possible authorities that are maybe in charge for this issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We found out that, uh, government didn't, uh, call any experts for, uh, resocialization and trauma healing of those people. We found out that they didn't contact, uh, Islamic communities in Serbia and notify them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for sure, their help is needed in their de-socialization. So basically...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only person who has everything on this case is the Prime Minister. Who is not very keen of journalists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, shit, you know what I mean? This is time to establish yourself, you know what I mean? Yourself individually as an artist at a certain point. You know what I mean? Always go back to the group, but uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not gonna not, unless you like, I don't agree with that, but I feel like everybody, you gotta kill, you gotta make sure, you know what I mean? You there, doing your thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, shit, you know what I mean, at the end of the day, everybody, everybody


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, we like, we got hella songs, you feel me, but I feel like we need to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smoothen out the edges, really get that motherfucking, uh, project that we feel like is perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we always gonna be working. Always. I was just talking AC face, I'm about to go record with him later tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No cap. Shout out Kenny Beast. He really done changed my whole recording process. I never, I don't write music anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like every barber, you feel me, I kind of think of some shit, catch a flow and go in and continue from there type shit, yeaah. And he was the one that influenced you? Yeaah, he was for sure. He was like, I was going up there trying to write, he was like, nah, I don't, just like rap that shit. And I was like, what? And then I kind of kept doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, oh yeaah, you, you really ca- I feel like, at least for me, everybody different, but I be able to capture what it is I wanna say and sound like in that very moment by doing it like that type of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, I feel like also, I just get kind of bored in the studio if I'm writing, so if I take too long, I just be like, you know what, fuck this shit, I don't even want to do it no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be kinda, I'll be kinda doing my uh, my own studio sessions, you know what I mean? If I do a studio session, I don't like doing it with a lot of people. I like uh, at least for me, you know what I mean? I like uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking forward to both their new music, to both them, some of my favorite artists out of the city, ever for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little formula going to become a rapper, you might as well take advantage of that shit and use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, nah, it's cool. I feel like that's dope. I definitely don't want to just be categorized as one thing or be stuck to one thing, you know what I mean? So it's cool to expand and go do shit like out there, especially cause you're at the dope ass place, you feel me? I like to, it's cool to, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like everybody's music out of LA. I genuinely listen to everybody's music out of LA. There's not like one person I fuck with more or nothing. I like all that shit. I like our shit too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, nah, for sure. It was like my, uh, probably my favorite song off the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, for self. Never gotten a 2012 where it belonged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then it got them rollover minutes. I hate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like mayonnaise on a burger, but not like a breakfast sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but my taste. What's that? I think I'm, I hope I'm saying it right with that little energy drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be acting the same way no matter how big we get, you know what I mean? I feel like I'm shit, I be chill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be feeling like the same, I'll be doing regular ass shit. Still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won't do it like just a random ass dude, it gotta be, cause I listen to all types of music, so for me to do a song with somebody, I have to like genuinely fuck with them, like day to day, or I gotta be like actually like a fan of their music and what they got going on, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, I wanna do a song in the future. Doug, try the Scott and the Migos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never know until you know, you know what I mean? When I get tattoos bro, I really just be like, I won't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey guys, just a quick word. YouTube has demonetized us once again, so if you want to support No Jumper and what we do over here on this YouTube channel, there are three easy ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First off, the free options. That would be liking, commenting, subscribing, or just telling a friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you could head on over to NoJumper.com and buy a shirt like the one I'm wearing right now or one of the products featured right here. The third way and one of the best ways to support this channel is to actually hit up one of our live streams and have us play your music. We charge $100 per song, but it gives you a really good way to get feedback on your content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus it really helps keep us, uh, making content since we can rely on those donations. The podcasts don't always make so much money, but those help a lot. So I appreciate everybody for supporting. Let's get right into this content. No jumper. Coolest podcasts in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a free man. A free Frosty the Snowman. It's very exciting. How you feeling my guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy cause when we first moved the store and the podcast to Melrose, that was when you were first starting to really get poppin' and you was around on the block a lot, like around that time. There's a whole bunch of different videos that we filmed. There's a legendary video that you did for OMG. Yeaah. Remember them bitches were jumpin' the white girl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I didn't even mean to talk about that, but that shit was the funniest shit because Frosty walks up in the middle of the fight like, oh no, this is no gerb TV. We ain't doing all that, girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in your video and it looks like it's a skit that these girls was fighting. Yea, but that shit was real. That was real shit. Yea, that was real shit. You was there. And yo, you know the girl that was getting beat up on? She actually got a record deal. For real? And she like puts out music and shit now. Yea, that's crazy. I'm not even gonna put her on a blast. She's actually the home girl now. Yea, that's cool. She was like 16 at that time, getting fucking ran down on. Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, yeaah, at that time, that's when you were really starting to pop off and you was around a lot, but then all of a sudden we just hear like, Frosty got locked up. So tell me what led up to that situation, what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does everybody start pressing you towards the end when you, when you're about to get out? They start like looking for a reason to give you a hard time or is that just on TV?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, trying to start some shit so that you don't go home? Or are they cool about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you show up there though, and you're already like a poppin' rapper, you got a bunch of songs, people know you in the streets, this is jail, so it's like if you're even a little bit famous on the outside, then you make it famous in jail, right? Yea. And you gang affiliated. Yea. And it's LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you show up and like, what's the vibe like? Did you feel like a lot of people were feeling you out? Like, what was it like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it usually ends there, like, after a fistfight or whatever. People don't take it that much further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, cause I actually, I was just reaching out to people and I'm saying like, yo, like, what'd you heard about Frosty? What was up with his case? Blah, blah, blah. And people actually told me they're like, yo, I feel like Frosty has more respect now after doing his time because he stood on his shit when people tried to do whatever while he was in there. Some truth to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's be real too. When you were coming out, you were like hothead, talking crazy shit, getting into all kinds of wild ass shit. And like, I don't know, do you feel like being locked up for a couple years when you were at the height of your popularity? Do you feel like that sort of made you a little bit more humble or smarter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you've got a big opportunity just even being at the point that you're at right now and it's kinda like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you having to sit for two, two years when you are progressing rapidly at that point, it's gotta make you think like, shit, I don't wanna miss out on that opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you look at the way you were living before you went in that you were just being a little too reckless? Like the situation that you got caught up in, was that something where you really didn't need to take it to that level?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the style that you were originally associated with is now bigger than ever. Uh, talk about that. It's like that, that energy that you were bringing to the table, a lot of that other rappers have taken little bits of some of the, some of your flow, some of Draco's flow, blowing up with it. Yeah, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying like, I feel like your flow when we actually look back at it and everything is like what you were doing lyrically or flow-wise a couple years ago. A lot of that has become sort of commonplace with a lot of different LA rappers. I mean, yeaah, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have problems with Blueface? Do you not care for him? Do you feel like he did what you were doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a handful of names, like Blueface blew up the biggest so far with that sort of biggest style, but then when you come back to it at the end of the day, a lot of that influences back to Draco. And I feel like Draco took issue with your flow because he felt like you were kind of influenced by his flow, but now when we're sort of looking back at it, I could see them as two very different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, your former friend, Suspect, he came at Blueface, pretty tough though, about that style. Like, how do you look at that? Do you agree with that at all? You said what? Your, uh, former


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came at Blueface tough on some songs, kinda trying to make a thing out of it. How do you look at that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you look at some of the shit that you were doing before you went in and that's like the kind of shit that you're really just kind of trying to avoid now cause it seems like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem like you're coming from a more mature perspective now where you don't want to necessarily waste your energy on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Do you think that you and Suspect will ever be cool, or is that relationship just done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, uh, w-was his version of how you guys fell out that he had in S.H.E.'s interview, was that accurate, that it was over the Dine and Dash incident?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's like that epic Instagram Live of the pulling up and everything. That's kinda like a fucking bizarre moment in rap history. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're kind of determined to stay away from any kind of little politic and beefing and that kind of bullshit and just stay focused on the music at this point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's good to hear. Uhm, so you put out this first day out freestyle. Yeah. Was that really the first session that you had since you got out or like what was the mentality?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just sorta like, it's such a thing now that like, you kinda gotta make a statement when you first get out, right? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's up. So, in terms of like, is that where you're thinking about putting your energy towards? Are you thinking about dropping videos? Are you trying to actually drop like a real full project?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, rap, rap music in general blowing up since he went in, like, deals keep getting bigger and bigger, I feel like, you know. Yea, that's sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that wild for you to like, be in there, get out, and then all of a sudden just everything is different?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what was it like in prison when you found out Nipsey died? I'm sure there's many people in there that were crushed by it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean it was crazy out here, like there was just like an overall just like blanket of sadness across the city, but I can imagine that in the prisons and shit it was probably affected a lot of people too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, so yeaah, like, any features that you have in mind that you're gonna go chase after or anything for this project? Is there anybody in particular you fuck with that you feel like you wanna get on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you uhm, are you on probation now so you can't even smoke anymore and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a big deal if you get a cool probation officer or not, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's up. Uh, shit, when you look back at it, it's like, I guess I probably should have asked this earlier in an interview and stuff, but some of those early songs that you did were fucking straight up classics. Like, what was the energy when you made Milwaukee Bucks? Cause that's still to this day will knock if you play that in any sort of group of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do a lot of shows off that song. Do you look at that song as kind of being what really started to change your life at that point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I seen a picture of you when you got out. You had like this massive thing of money. Oh yea, you know that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going extra hard with it. Yo! You were locked up for the whole 6ix9ine scandal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. They must have been mad as hell in the jails because he was dissing the whole LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair enough. Uhm, so yeaah, the plan, you just, have you, have you shot any videos yet? Are you thinking about getting into that zone? You're still waiting to have the music that you wanna shoot these videos for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Did you feel like you didn't really miss out on what was going on with the culture and everything while you were locked up because of the fact that you were sort of tapped into the internet and everything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And once you really start thinking about that, that kind of ruins the whole random bitch shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you really even as have the experience of a girl that you're just kicking with and then you realize that she was going and talking about you to somebody in a way that was crazy as fuck to you, that'll fuck the whole thing up to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounded crazy. He was like Indiana or some shit. That ain't happening here, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got 15 years, you really like looking at every single crack in the wall like, hmmm. Hell yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the best ways that you were killing time while you were in there though? You didn't get on the workout grind too crazy or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, in jail, that just must be the craziest shit, because it's a non-stop source of entertainment, which is the problem when you're on the real world, and you could be going to the beach, or you could be relaxing, or you could be getting some more sleep, but when you're in prison, you really have nothing to do, if you can have fun, like, Jesus Christ, that's, it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, when you see a kid watching cartoons on their phone, and like, I see a little-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I see with my brother-in-law, it's like, it's an addictive thing. It's easy because if he sets it up, it's literally like the kid is just on drugs all of a sudden because he's so obsessed with the cartoon or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it a little hard to get, like, for them to get adjusted to being around you when they haven't seen you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be mad confusing for the kids one day when they're in school and the teacher starts teaching them about Frosty the Snowman and they're like, damn, I heard people calling my dad that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're gonna be a rapper, you gotta go above and beyond. You gotta be an entertainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want all these white kids in the middle of America to pay attention, sometimes you gotta break them off with some imagery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's real. Well, yo, I'm excited to hear the new music and shit. You ain't played a show yet, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A radio tower. Maybe we can send an S.O.S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen Moira, I'm really sorry. I don't know what I got you mixed up in. Mary will never forgive me.

[Assistant] It depends on who leaked it, but like, it all comes down to the artist, I feel like, like, you are in control of who your shit gets in the hands of. I mean, probably to a certain point, I don't know, I don't know, I'm not, I'm not that big, but I'm sure when you get to a certain point, everyone probably has their hands on your shit.

[Assistant] As far as that song goes, I don't know if he's missing a feature or some shit, but that shit sounded done to me. Like when it was out, it didn't sound bad, the mix didn't sound like ass or nothing. Views went up, now it's just hella anticipated. Someone took it off, shit for all we know, PlayboiKid did all that, and it's just like hyping it up. But I don't know, I think that shit works, it's still gonna, it's anticipated now, everyone wants that shit.

[Assistant] What is Bitcoin Cash? Is it the same as just Bitcoin? And what's the difference between the two? And which is the true Bitcoin? Well, stick around. In this episode of Crypto Whiteboard Tuesday, we'll answer these questions and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Nate Martin from 99Bitcoins.com and welcome to Crypto Whiteboard Tuesday where we take complex cryptocurrency topics, break them down and translate them into plain English. Before we begin, don't forget to subscribe to the channel and click the bell so you'll immediately get notified when a new video comes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's topic is Bitcoin Cash, also known as BCH. The story of Bitcoin Cash goes much deeper than just the creation of another cryptocurrency. It was actually one of the fiercest tests for Bitcoin's decentralization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get started. A lot of people who are just starting out with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general get confused when they see that there's not just one type of Bitcoin. For example, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and Bitcoin Diamond are all forks of the original Bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fork can be described as an alternate version of an original coin. There are two types of forks, soft forks and hard forks. Soft forks are versions that will work well with both the original version and the alternate version of the coin, so as a user you can choose which version to run without a lot of concern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hard forks, on the other hand, don't play well with the original version. This means that you need to choose whether to update your software to run the alternate version or to stick with the original one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, with hard forks, if the alternative is not accepted by 100% of the users, then a sort of split will occur in the network and a new coin will emerge, one that is similar to the original but not identical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin Cash and other Bitcoin versions are actually the results of suggested updates to the Bitcoin protocol that weren't agreed to by everyone. So what happened is that an alternate version of the coin, or hard fork, stemming from the original Bitcoin was created and new coins came into existence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want a complete, detailed explanation about forks, make sure to watch our Bitcoin Whiteboard Tuesday Forks video as well. So now we know that Bitcoin Cash is actually a hard fork of Bitcoin, but why was it created?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To answer this question, we need to pause for a second and go back a few years to discuss one of the most controversial topics of Bitcoin's code, the block size and scalability issue. Bitcoin transactions don't get confirmed instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order for a transaction to be considered as confirmed, it needs to be included as a part of a block of transactions on the Bitcoin ledger, known as the blockchain. A new block of transactions is added to the blockchain on average about every 10 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar to any type of digital data, adding Bitcoin transactions to a block requires storage space, and the maximum capacity for each block of transactions is 1 megabyte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you consider the average Bitcoin transaction size, you'll find that a block is able to hold about 2,700 transactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visa, for comparison, can confirm 1,700 transactions per second. This means that when a lot of people want to send Bitcoin, during price rallies for example, transactions get stuck in a very long queue waiting to enter a block and get confirmed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, Bitcoin allows you to pay a higher transaction fee if you want to jump the queue, but this might cause fees to reach ridiculous levels as more and more people try to cut the line with their transactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't something you want to have happen if you're building Bitcoin to become a global payment method.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result of this scalability issue, two different camps emerged. The first camp was the Big Blocks Camp. This camp was led by Chinese mining giant Bitmain and Roger Veer, an early Bitcoin investor who was involved with a number of startups when Bitcoin was just gaining initial adoption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big blockers were afraid that Bitcoin's scalability issue would prevent it from becoming what Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's inventor, initially intended, a peer-to-peer payment system. With such long confirmation times and high fees, people wouldn't use Bitcoin for day-to-day transactions and would instead treat it as a store of value, like gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The supporters of this camp suggested a very simple solution. Let's increase the block size. If we increase Bitcoin's block size to 8MB, we'll be able to confirm as many as 8 times the number of transactions per second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this will reduce the existing congestion of the network and in the future will increase the block size as much as needed as Bitcoin achieves further adoption. Opposing them was the Small Blocks Camp. The supporters of this camp rooted for keeping the current 1MB block size while finding solutions for optimizing transaction size and handling in order to enable scaling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One such solution was Segregated Witness, or SegWit for short. SegWit is an upgrade to the Bitcoin protocol which, among other things, effectively reduces the transaction size by 75%. This means that a 1MB SegWit block can hold the same amount of transactions as what would be a 4MB non-SegWit block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, small blockers talked about the development of the Lightning Network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A second layer on top of the Bitcoin protocol that allows for instant and fee-less transactions. Now, the Lightning Network is a pretty broad topic on its own, so make sure to catch our Lightning Network episode for a detailed explanation on how it works. But why were the small blockers against increasing the block size to begin with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason is that small blockers believe that in the long run, this would hurt Bitcoin's decentralization and functionality. Here are some of the arguments to justify their claim. For one, an 8MB or even 32MB block takes more time to travel through the network than a 1MB block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, once the block reaches a computer on the network, that computer now needs to verify all of the transactions inside that block. If the block is too big, it might not be able to finish verifying all the transactions before the next block arrives within 10 minutes or so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this means the network will start lagging behind new transactions which can create disputes about the current state of the Bitcoin ledger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On top of that, by not optimizing transactions, you're also not optimizing the size of the blockchain, which already takes up several hundred gigabytes. Forcing computers to verify oversized transactions reduces the number of computers that can store the blockchain on their hard drive and therefore diminishes the network's decentralization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, let's think about it for a second. If only high-end computers that are maintained by a handful of companies can validate transactions on the network, we're basically taking away Bitcoin's basic advantage to have a large amount of participants to make sure no one is breaking the rules. To make it simple to understand, consider this analogy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine a street that's suffering from heavy traffic. The obvious solution would be to increase the number of lanes, effectively the same solution as increasing the block size. But what would you do once the street becomes more popular and even more cars come in? Eventually, there's a limit to how many lanes you can add before running out of land to build it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other hand, you could reduce traffic congestion by promoting public transportation routes or carpooling. Solutions similar to optimizing the transaction size and how transactions are handled by the network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This heated argument between the two rival camps went on for several years until it climaxed in August of 2017. Back then, Bitcoin was making its first steps over the $1,200 mark and the network was getting pretty crowded due to an overflow of transactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, many transactions got delayed and transaction fees skyrocketed as people were outbidding each other to cut in line and get confirmed faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may be wondering why nobody took action to avoid this situation. Well, in order to answer this question, we need to understand who actually decides anything on the Bitcoin network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, Bitcoin is decentralized, and this means there's no one person that decides anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Participants in the network vote through their actions. Their vote is actually whatever version of the Bitcoin protocol they choose to run on their computer. There are several players in the Bitcoin network. First, there are the miners and mining pool operators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're the ones in charge of creating blocks and updating the ledger of transactions. And some would argue that they have the ultimate say in what changes are finally accepted to the Bitcoin network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then we have the developers, which are a group of individuals collaborating together to maintain Bitcoin's source code. And some believe that this group has the ultimate power since they're the ones writing the actual code that runs the network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We also have exchanges, which are the gateways for cryptocurrency adoption. They can decide which version of Bitcoin to list under the ticker symbol BTC. They're the ones who have the power of connecting people with the actual coins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another important group are the wallet providers. They write software that allows users to manage their coins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, we have the nodes, which are the different computers which run the Bitcoin code and make sure no one is breaking the rules. These nodes are the backbone of the Bitcoin network, and owners of the nodes can decide to only accept transactions that support specific changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally, we have the Bitcoin users who get to choose which coin to buy, which exchange to use, and which wallet to download. Without even knowing it, they actually have the most power. The coin that users decide to adopt will have the brighter future. A good example for the power of user adoption is the case of Ethereum's hard fork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in 2016, after several million dollars were stolen from an Ethereum-based project called the DAO, the Ethereum developers suggested rolling back the Ethereum blockchain and erasing the malicious transaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this created a heated debate, at the end of which Ethereum forked into two different coins, Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. However, what's known today as Ethereum is actually the altered Ethereum version and not the original one. The reason that this is considered the true Ethereum is because that's the coin most of the users decided to adopt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miners, exchanges, wallet providers and even developers all rely on the acceptance of the public to survive. That's why, in the end, the users have the final say. Now you understand why it's so hard to get any change to the Bitcoin protocol approved. You basically need to get all of these groups to agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout Bitcoin's history, there have been several cases where such agreements were reached. But as the network grew larger, it became harder to reach a consensus. Going back to our story in 2017, the end result of this Mexican standoff between the two camps was that each side did what they initially intended to do, leaving it to users to decide which coin to adopt as the true Bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On August 1st of 2017, small blockers activated Segwit on the original Bitcoin protocol, while big blockers created Bitcoin Cash, a Bitcoin fork with an 8 megabyte block size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially, it was unclear which version of Bitcoin would win, when winning in cryptocurrency terms means having a longer blockchain or ledger of transactions. The more miners a coin has on board means more computational power, hence a longer blockchain and a more robust network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin Cash had support from mining giant Bitmain, and as a result, the original Bitcoin's hashing power was cut nearly in half when the fork occurred. However, when the dust settled, it became clear that the original Bitcoin was still standing strong even after the fork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the fork, Bitcoin Cash has consistently maintained its space at the top of the cryptocurrency charts. The coin is backed mainly by Roger Veer, a libertarian who allegedly owns around 100,000 Bitcoins, making him one of the first Bitcoin billionaires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Veer also purchased the domain name Bitcoin.com to promote Bitcoin Cash, as opposed to Bitcoin.org, which is the website for the original Bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin Cash is mostly similar to Bitcoin, but with some exceptions. First, its block size is bigger. When it first started out, Bitcoin Cash's block size was capped at 8MB. Later on, the coin went through another update and its block size limit increased to 32MB.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In practice, Bitcoin Cash isn't as popular as Bitcoin, and its blocks rarely surpass one megabyte of transactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Second, Bitcoin Cash does not support SegWit or the Lightning Network. And finally, Bitcoin Cash adjusts its mining difficulty for mining new blocks more quickly than the original Bitcoin. I won't go into detail, but it's claimed that miners can actually manipulate this feature to create questionable advantages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While there are additional differences between the two coins, the ones I've mentioned are the ones that are most notable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In November of 2018, Bitcoin Cash went through its own hard fork. This time, the two camps were the original Bitcoin Cash, also known as ABC, and Bitcoin SV, which stands for Satoshi's Vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bitcoin ABC's camp was led by Roger Veer and Bitmain. The Bitcoin SV camp was led by Craig Wright, a person who previously claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto but never supplied ample proof, and Calvin Ayer, the owner of the largest Bitcoin Cash mining pool, CoinGeek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two main differences between the two Bitcoin Cash versions. Bitcoin ABC maintained a maximum block size of 32 MB, while Bitcoin SV increased its block size to 128 MB, with additional increases planned in future updates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Additionally, Bitcoin ABC added smart contract-like functionality into its code, while Bitcoin SV chose to not accept this change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For now, it seems that Bitcoin ABC has become more popular and is considered by most as the true Bitcoin Cash. Before we conclude today's extensive video, I'd like to leave you with some food for thought. Sometimes the obvious solution to a problem isn't necessarily the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Low transaction fees are important to the usability of Bitcoin, but not at all costs. And a quick fix often has unforeseen consequences. I mean, just imagine what life would be like if instead of investing in and developing file compression technologies, we would simply have to buy additional hard drives just to save all of our uncompressed documents, photos, videos, and projects to our computers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how much longer would it take to transmit those files along the internet to our friends, family, colleagues, or clients?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeping this in mind, it would seem as though optimizing data within small blocks while maintaining decentralization will pay off in the long run. Adding to the block size might prove necessary, but it should be used sparingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For now, the Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork saga stands as a testament to the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network. It demonstrated how unbiased the system is and how no single party can dictate what will happen, even when very powerful interest groups are involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it for today's episode of Crypto Whiteboard Tuesday. Hopefully by now you understand what Bitcoin Cash is. A hard fork of Bitcoin's protocol that created a new coin with a larger block size.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Nate Martin from 99Bitcoins.com and welcome to Crypto Whiteboard Tuesday where we take complex cryptocurrency topics, break them down and translate them into plain English. Before we begin, don't forget to subscribe to the channel and click the bell so you'll immediately get notified when a new video comes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's topic is hardware wallets. But before we dive deep into hardware wallets, we need to understand how any Bitcoin wallet works in general. The term Bitcoin wallet is a bit misleading, as a Bitcoin wallet doesn't really hold any Bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically speaking, a Bitcoin wallet is a software that holds passwords, sometimes referred to in cryptographic terms as keys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These keys give your wallet access to the bitcoins allocated to it on the bitcoin transaction ledger called the blockchain. So when you use any bitcoin wallet, you'll encounter two important terms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first is a Bitcoin address. Well, this is what you send to people who want to pay you in Bitcoin. Kind of like an email address. The second is a private key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The private key allows you to access and control the Bitcoins you own. For our email account analogy, you might think of your private key as the password to your email account. Aside from holding your private key, your wallet also signs Bitcoin transactions on your behalf using your private key and broadcasts them to the Bitcoin network. Let me explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you want to send Bitcoins to someone else, you need to prove ownership of those Bitcoins to the whole network so it will agree to change the ledger of transactions. To achieve this, your Bitcoin wallet takes your requested transaction, signs it on your behalf using your private key, and broadcasts this digital signature to the network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a nutshell, a digital signature is a way to prove you own a certain private key without needing to expose it. It's done through the use of complex mathematical rules known as cryptography. This whole process is kind of similar to you signing a check authorizing the transfer of money from your account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once a transaction is signed, the wallet then broadcasts it to the whole network, which validates its authenticity. Eventually, this transaction will be entered by Bitcoin miners onto the blockchain and the transaction will be considered complete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what does all this have to do with hardware wallets? If my wallet is just a piece of software, why can't I just have it on my computer like any other software I use? Well, as you probably know, stealing a piece of information from a computer isn't that hard these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if the computer running your Bitcoin wallet is infected with malware, it may expose your private key to bad actors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hackers may be able to take control over your computer or see what's displayed on your screen. And once your private key is exposed, your Bitcoins are no longer under your control. They could be easily transferred to anywhere the hacker chooses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to avoid the situation, you have two options. First, you can make sure your computer is completely malware-free. While this may sound easy, most viruses are either disguised as legitimate software or have a way to avoid detection by anti-virus software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other option would be to use a wallet that is immune to malware, so to speak, keeping your private keys safe. This is exactly what hardware wallets are designed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simply put, hardware wallets are computers that have been stripped down of all logic except for a small screen, a button or two, and the simple action of storing keys and signing transactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hardware wallets look like small USB devices and they offer a minimalist approach to security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is based on the logic that the more complex a device is, the more opportunities hackers have to infiltrate it. In the case of hardware wallets, the device is so dumb, it's practically impossible to hack or infect it with anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to that simple design, hardware wallets can't connect to the internet or run complicated apps. They're just a form of storing your private key offline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this approach is known as cold storage, unlike devices that connect to the internet, which are called hot wallets. So how do hardware wallets work exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing to know is that because a hardware wallet is such a simple device that can only sign transactions, it needs to use a more sophisticated computer for all other functions, such as preparing the transaction and broadcasting it to the network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order to use a hardware wallet, you'll need to connect it to your personal computer and download a program that can communicate with it. We'll call this program a bridge. The bridge will allow you to prepare your transaction for signing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hardware wallet allows only very specific types of data to pass through to it, such as cryptocurrency transactions. And once it receives a transaction from the bridge program, it signs it on the hardware wallet itself and then sends it back to the bridge program. Your private key never leaves the hardware wallet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that gets transferred between your computer and the hardware wallet is the unsigned, then signed transaction. Because of its minimalistic and simple design, a hardware wallet can be used with any computer without fear of being hacked or infected. Even a public library computer or your mom's laptop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing you'll need to do to make sure your Bitcoins are safe is to make sure the transaction you're approving on the hardware wallet screen matches the transaction your bridge program is showing on your personal computer. Today, there are over a dozen companies that offer hardware wallets on the market, with the three market leaders being Ledger, Trezor, and Keepkey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each company offers different models with different features. If you'd like to read all about the different models on our site, there's a link in the description below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are many features to compare between the different hardware wallets. Some things to consider, aside from company reputation, include how many different coins the device can support and whether you can control it from your mobile phone as well as from your computer. Setting up a hardware wallet is fairly easy. The main thing to do is to write down the set of words you'll be given when initializing the device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These words, also known as a seed phrase or mnemonic phrase, are a way to restore any private key your hardware wallet may generate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This also means that whoever might get a hold of these words would also control your Bitcoin, so it's important to keep your seed phrase written offline and in a safe place. Before we conclude today's episode, I want to go over some common hardware wallet risks you should be aware of and how to avoid them when possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first risk is that someone may tamper with your device when it's en route to your home for the first time. To avoid this, all reputable hardware wallet manufacturers use a special holographic sticker to prove the wallet was never opened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you receive a wallet and this sticker isn't intact, don't use that wallet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While some wallets also run a self-tampering test when initializing, it's better to stay on the safe side. In order to minimize this risk even more, always buy a hardware wallet straight from the manufacturer's website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to buy from a reseller, make sure that he is an authorized, trustworthy reseller by contacting the manufacturer first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Closely related to this issue is the fact that your seed phrase should be generated at random by your wallet upon setup and is not sent to you with the device. There's a good reason for taking all these safety measures seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, one unfortunate user bought a hardware wallet from a bad actor on Amazon and received a wallet with a card containing a pre-configured seed phrase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was instructed to initiate the device using this existing seed phrase. Well, the user wasn't very tech savvy and did what he was instructed, only to find out that once he deposited coins into that hardware wallet, they were quickly removed by the hacker that had knowledge of the pre-configured seed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another risk to be aware of is that your hardware wallet device may be stolen or physically accessed by unwanted individuals, also known as the evil maid attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most, if not all, hardware wallets today include a PIN protection, so even if your device is stolen, it may take the thief a while before he can access your coins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you notice your device is stolen, you should immediately use your seed phrase to recover your bitcoins and send them to a new wallet with a different seed phrase. This will basically drain your stolen wallet from all of its funds and allow you to keep safe control over your bitcoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another very unusual but possible attack is the five dollar wrench attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this refers to when someone physically threatens to hurt you with, say, a $5 wrench if you don't hand over your hardware wallet and unlock it with your PIN code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to protect from these kinds of physical attacks, certain wallets such as Trezor allow you to add another layer of protection called a passphrase. This means you'll be requested to add an additional passphrase after the PIN code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, you can set it up so that different passphrases will show only certain accounts on your wallet. So imagine having a dummy account on your wallet with only a small amount of coins, and a real account with the majority of your funds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when someone forces you to unlock your wallet, you can use the dummy passphrase and it will seem as though the wallet only holds a small amount of coins, not revealing your complete holdings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very common fear people usually express regarding hardware wallets is, what happens if the wallet manufacturer goes out of business? Well, the seed phrase technology used in most hardware wallets today is compatible with multiple wallets. It's not unique to any specific company.


[User] Please transcribe this text
