Someone take you with sounds on here. So professional cow. Come on. What up Chad? Chad cow.
What's up guys? Where did this podcast be if this was a professional podcast? Well, it'd be a lot more boring, that's for sure. Maybe a lot less swears to do.
The PG rated Chad B had be no fun at all. Go fuck yourself. What did you guys think about did you see that? The word can mention
and that Deloitte World Economic Forum article or this research report or something like that, it's so strange and I can't really put my finger on why it's so weird. Just the whole article itself, I don't know if you guys actually checked this out and looked at the
references and things like that. All of so that the the door chain reference, like it makes some kind of good reference to door chains saying like, oh yeah proof of solvency and you know just some other talking points we have. But then the reference to that at the end of the article it's number 28 I think
I think it's one of those AI written scam articles. I'm sure you've all seen this. It's just where they, they're just randomly generated and they put them out and they blast them out to 100 different like BS crypto news sites and they're like,
is dorking the next polka dot or like these this particular batch of them which was pretty big around like November I think was uh when in particular that I think this project uh big eyes whatever the heck that is paid for because every single one of
these articles I've mentioned is Thorchin and Big Eyes like competitors with Polkadot like what's the difference it's just like big because they don't really make sense obviously from anyone that is like paying attention so I just like looking through the references in this article it was just strange because
There was, it wasn't just the Thor-Chain reference that was like a weird scammy sort of reference on any kind of like official documentation or like a real article or something like that just a scam article. But then other sources are also in this that similar vein of like they're not I don't think these articles
are even written by real people. I'm pretty sure they're just, these are all either like marketing pieces or like they're written by AI or what. So like I don't understand like what this whole report thing is and why it exists but it's a really weird scammy vibe in the first place.
Yeah, I haven't seen it at all until like literally like seconds before I jumped into this space and I'm like actually trying to read the article a little bit now and wrap my head around with the fuck they're even talking about. I mean, I think it sounds like they're there. I'm adding read the whole thing. I just look at this more particularly
page, page 34 of this 110 page document put out there by the World Economic Forum. And I think in this particular page, they're just talking about proof of solvency in the context of like, sometimes exchanges that make sense, proof of assets, proof of liabilities, proof of
solvency like all this kind of stuff. But I don't really don't understand why it references the Thor chains particular case because one is on such as exchange and I guess it does have proof of solvency you know because it does but I don't know even like that the other link below it talks about cash and gold
which I've never heard of. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Isn't it just like the weirdest scammy vibe where
