Member: It’s time to end this movie and move forward with the Golden Age. Any news Mark?

MZ: It’s a slow news day today….but that leaves us time to answer some questions.

MZ: We are seeing some craziness on aggregating professional sites with fluctuating rates and pairings. It’s the pairings and pairing rates that are really unique. It they are accurate we may be looking at a rate of $5 or so……IF they are accurate.

Member: What is a pairing rate?

MZ: Pairing rates are where they are paired with another currency or stablecoin. In that pairing they show a rate which is different right not than on official sites……We were seeing rates from $1.70 something to $5.60 something.

Member: On the tarmac Trump said “Aug 1st- you’re going to get a lot of payments…You’re going to be very happy….if you are a citizen of this country you will get a lot of money? What does he mean????

MZ: I hope he means a reset. I have a couple of DC beltway folks that watch this podcast regularly. And they told me give Trump a few weeks and things will be clear and we will be excited how it comes out. I hope that is accurate.

Member: so quiet on the bond side again?

Mod:  IT WAS A SLOW NEWS DAY. NO NEW BOND UPDATES

MZ: My contacts in Iraq believe they will have an agreement next Tuesday or Wednesday on the cost of producing of about $16 and they think we will get a new rate for the budget tables…..that is hopeful. We will see….they have had these expectations before…..but those expectations are high again.
