The retail minting of USDM is coming very soon with
their beta program opening up right now.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
If you are a.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
User in the various states where the beta program is
opened up, you can start minting USDM. This is super
exciting and this is the news announcement right here. If
you are in the United States, you can join this program.
Let me go through the details here for you.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Exciting news.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
USDM Beta program for retail users is officially open for
the first time. Selected individuals in qualifying US states can
mint and burn USDM. Caadana's premiere fear backstaber Cooin applying
now as part of the beta program. Why join as
Beta Tessa. You get early access to retail mint and
burn systems and help shape the future of Meneta. Your

(00:49):
feedback is crucial improving the platform and we're also offering
a special fee arrangement for participants to qualify.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Here is what you'll need.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Complete the KYC with your real name and government issued ID,
a CAADANAH wallet with fifteen US with fifteen eighta a
US bank account, and two factor authentication. Be one of
our operational state and these are the operational states here California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana,

(01:20):
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
So these are the states. If you are in one
of them, you can participate. That's really cool radio apply
click here at join the beta program. This is the
website here you can go through and sign up if
you are in one of those particular states. This is

(01:41):
the registration form here. You have to consent to the
whole privacy and everything else around KYC and then you
can let them know what you're planning to mint within
the platform as well. Now this is only open up
to those particular states in the United States, so this
it's still a very limited selection of users. But the

(02:05):
massive headache that anyone has to operate in the United
States is crazy. You have to go through each one
of the states and comply with our regulations, go through
all the paperwork for all fifty two states of the
USA to be able to roll out something like this. Hence,
only these states are only opened at the moment. This

(02:26):
is same for retail and for the big whales out
there in the space as well or the enterprise clients
that have been using the platform already. So something to
keep in mind there. Now, when will we see this
in other states and in other countries around the world.
Not sure about the US, there is a lot of
paperwork there to do, but we will see very soon.
The EU, everything in the European Union thanks to NBX

(02:50):
dot Com, the Norwegian exchange that has all the regulatory
licenses to be able to mint the US euro M.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I don't know. Maybe they've also.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Are allowing you to mint USDM but use FIT backed
currencies such as euro in there to back that USDM.
Now I'm not sure the mechanics there, So either you
be minting USDM using euro or you be minting euro
M or EUROM and backing that up with euro. So
one of the two there, I'm assuming it would be

(03:23):
the latter, but we'll see what comes out of this.
But I'm really excited to see that the Monetta team
have gone to this point of allowing retail users onboarding
to the platform. So one of the really big benefits
and why you would want to be able to mint
and burn USDM as a retail user, is that you
can take advantage of arbitrage on various decks is out there.

(03:44):
You may be able to buy the USDM token at
the higher or lower price than its stable cooin price.
So it's always supposed to be at that one US
dollar mark, so you know this level will here, but
you can see on the charts that it does dip
well low and it does go much higher. This is
a dollar thirteen. It's the lowest point here is eighty

(04:06):
two cents. So here you could have purchased it and
then gone straight to the Meneta website and burnt it
there and redeem it for one USD so you could
have made a eighteen cent profit on each one of
those trades. And same here on this side. When the
price of USDM was well above one dollar, I could
have minted more at USDM on the Manetta website, then

(04:30):
gone to an exchange and then sold it for that
inflated price and made a little bit of profit off it.
So there's lots of arbitrage opportunities there to trade off
the stable coins, and this helps with the stabilization of
the price. So as soon as people start buying at
a low price and then exiting and then selling at

(04:51):
high price, we'll see the price of USDM, the stable
coin go back down to its pegged value on the
various decks. So when we see more of that activity
happen on small and larger scales, that means we have
more trading volume on the DEXes and people that are
doing and take advantage of those upper charge opportunities, they'll
be making profit along the way, so they'll be benefiting

(05:13):
from all of that too. So this is a major
benefit for retail users to be able to participate in
all of this activity as well. So what do you
guys think. Are you excited about this particular announcement? Do
you think retail usage of USDM will make a difference
for a Cadano's DeFi ecosystem. Leave a comment down below

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; โ€œHe paid me to do it.โ€ David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a โ€œliveโ€ investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was Davidโ€™s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, โ€œbrokeโ€ her.โ€ The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run โ€œTrying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.โ€ Thatโ€™s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the howโ€ฆ and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentinaโ€™s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one womanโ€™s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as โ€œThe Corner on Blood.โ€ The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didnโ€™t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one manโ€™s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someoneโ€™s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the directorโ€™s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. โ€œThe Hulkโ€ was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But thatโ€™s all heโ€™d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. โ€œThe guilty have gone free,โ€ he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
