1 of each. Funded (Eagle.01btc/bch / Bull .001btc). Both are in excellent condition. Looking to sell right around where the last few have sold (adjusted up/down depending on price of btc at that time, naturally). Too lazy to gather this info for myself atm, if anyone can share plz do so. I will work on it tom otherwise (it’s roughly 11pm central for me rn). Note - I consider both coins to be “at risk”. It is well known that coins were swept, then quickly added back on a Bull coin a few years back, a coin that had not been peeled. Maker of both, TopWorldCoins, are scammy cunts. Also note redemption process for Bull coins (I can’t remember if it’s the same for the eagle coins) is unlike any BTC redemption process I and most have ever seen (it’s not super simple). Reply or DM if interested. Will ship WW (buyer takes on full liability for shipping/taxes/vat etc if outside the U.S.) Hand-full of photos for both. I can’t take pics for shit.

I believe I'm going to Vegas for the bitcoin conference (well, to meet up with/support a friend with a booth there), as well as the litcoin summit (because of Charlie, a bud) which overlaps the btc conf. The time spent at the conferences will be minimal, so that means the rest of the trip will be spent at the Bunny Ranch. JK (or am I). So I plan to mostly play poker and roulette., with a bit of sports betting. Can anyone recommend which casinos are their favorite for poker (hold'em..both "fast play", as well as for no limit tournaments). Then for roulette and sports betting, lastly. What I'm most excited to check out...Stadium Swim and the Sphere    Sphere "event" playing during my days - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eryP10tAFGQShort trip, little gambling, little pool side sports betting, show at the Sphere..good eats..I'll be happy all said and done and have always been told 3-4 days is plenty in Vegas lol. Any tips appreciated. Thanks in advance |

Coming form the perspective of : A US based licensed financial advisor of 20 plus years. Got in this line of work to TRULY help others and change lives for the better..as fucking cheesy as that sounds. To , "fight from within". I work around a lot of bullshit (which is what lead me to bitcoin 11-12 years ago now) and I wanted to state this up front as this is not an uneducated opinion /guidance here..
Anyways ..you're going to get a lot people telling you this or that, opinions based on emotions and not rationale/facts/history etc. I always tell my clients, the last people you want to take financial advice form is your co-workers, family or friends..as 99.8% of what you're going to be told is BULLSHIT. Now some, wont be..but how will you know for sure?
Always keep this in mind, when it comes to finances, you want to ask yourself this "with my long term investment portfolios, if the market crashes today and lasts for say 2-3 years (which is on par with an avg downturn, at least within the US stock markets) do I have the time to "make up" for market downturns, or if the market crashes today, and for the next 2-3 years..it would be devastating to my day to day as I need those funds soon and don't have the time to "make up" for a sizable downturn. Let this always be your guide. Now keep in mind, I am talking your "sound" "backbone" type investments for the long term. No group retirement plan ( 401k, 403b, 457b etc) in the United States has or allows for any asset type that is that aggressive, relatively speaking. Meaning most peoples long term portfolios consist of "basic" stocks and bond. You want to remain diversified, and NEVER panic sell. You don't technically lose anything unless you sell (or gain) for that matter. They are what's called unrealized losses and gains. You obtain shares when purchasing say a Mutual Fund, ETF, or CIT. Shares don't go away in market downturns, and if you retain them, you've got the ability to grow back unrealized losses as markets bounce back.
Markets will always bounce back. If not? We all have a lot more to worry about than what's in our bank accounts or retirement plans.
Keep in mind ..most of us despise our governments and want the same things at the end of the day. Don't let them divide us! ( this is as short and simple as I could possibly make it lol..so there are things not said that should /could have been.. my inbox is always open for help if needed..I don't work in sales, I never will again, and I would never ask for a red cent (or red satoshi) for any of that help I provide, outside of course from my employer ( but again, not in sales, no commissions being paid out to me).

I wanted to start a thread dedicated solely to Chinese related cryptocurrency and “cryptocurrency” (ie Digital Yuan) collectibles. I think I’ve got one of the best and most unique collections in the space so figured I’d share. First up are coins issued from within China (not gov backed). Geek Bitcoin might be the first, or one of (Not sure off hand when BTCC launched their first physical BTC (but they were the first ever cryptocurrency exchange in China. The large silver coin has some info (and a COA I’m working on finding). Geek Bitcoin    ANX Bitcoin I believe this ended up being a scam. But these coins were issued as a marketing ploy    https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2014/02/24/hong-kong-to-get-first-offline-bitcoin-store“Momax Physical Bitcoin” (I have no info on this coins at all, yet)  BTCC - Chinas first ever Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency Exchange created by no stranger to many of us, Bobby Lee, brother of Litecoin creator Charlie Lee (as a buddy and no stranger to many of us). Their coins are about as desirable as any in the space. They mined all coins funded on to the physical bitcoins themselves, adding extra desire/premiums thanks to the “un-tainted”/ “Virgin” bitcoin. They made some silver coins (the Two BTC silver coins are beyond rare and BEAUTIFUL). China does not allow the manufacturing of precious metal coins (or at least silver, I know) to be made by a company who ships over-seas. In response Bobby started producing Titanium Coins as well as the extremely popular “chips” and Titanium Block.            https://coinidol.com/longest-running-bitcoin-exchange-btcc-releases-physical-coin/?amp3oz Silver coin - “CoinSpot Trading Limited”   Digital Yuan “Cryptocurrency” - China made mining and trading bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies illegal. In comes what they call, the “Digital Yuan” a self proclaimed “cryptocurrency”, however it’s actually just a centralized way of digitally using the Yuan, not true decentralized blockchain technology. This still marks a new era of money/how money is used in China which spawned many cool collectibles including hardware wallets, digital hardware wallet cards and other wallet hardware cards.         https://www.ledgerinsights.com/china-produces-cbdc-guide-for-tourists-in-english/https://www.registrationchina.com/articles/china-e-cny-guide-for-foreigners/In 2024 “Year of the Dragon” China issued the first ever “State backed” digital crypto stamp (or anything real crypto related regarding collectibles which uses the polygon network.

Anyone else noticing this? I mostly just use Insta but what’s kind of funny is I never saw gambling ads until just recently and in fact, maybe two of the recent four posts I’ve found, I found were for” dual bits” the current campaign I’m in. I thought this was really cool. I know I took a screenshot somewhere. I will have to dig it up to add to this thread but again I’ve also seen others and just curious if anyone else is seeing the same they tend?  |

So half of gambling talk here is sports betting pretty much right. I am in an NFL Chicago Bears discord group where the admin is just fn awesome and runs streams for every bears game in every possible way.
This is of course a very diverse global forum (one of the best aspects about it; and why I hold it to be so special) and the most global game that we all could agree on I would say probably NBA ? (Soccer bigger globally but it’s not much of a focus in America (I LOVED the Classico with Barcelona/Messi vs RM/Ronaldo , I have a couple buddies who were fans and I came to understand the Classico w those two facing off, will never be that good again in our lifetime, so I did get way in to that game for a few years, knowing I was watching something special). I imagine there plenty of members here who’d appreciate watching some NBA games here and there but too costly where you live or whatever.
Maybe there’s a big boxing or UFC matchup going down, I know a stream would be desirable. I don’t believe (could be dead wrong) there’s any legality issues with doing this. So let’s say there’s not, what do you guys think ? @cyrus any interest in this , is this something you’d have to set up or can anyone do so, can it be granted, you have any familiarity? Thx 🙏 Feel like it could be a fun community engagement type deal. 🤷♂️
Was just chatting w @nutildah & @hueristic about watching XFL games this season and I just dropped my cable tv contract as I don’t watch much TV outside of football season.
Any thoughts appreciated. This is one of those Ty thinking out loud deals.

Looking to trade this hand signed print from yBitcoin magazine cover art Vol 2 Issue 4 (2015-16 I believe https://issuu.com/ybitcoin/docs/ybitcoin-volume2_issue4) by artist Josh Dykgraaf, who I believe is a pretty well known artist in the space, designed quite a few of the yBitcoin mag covers, like the St Pete Bowl.  Full Image - https://internationalrescue.com/artwork/josh-dykgraaf-33/ ( this is incredibly detailed, so look hard and you'll keep finding Waldo)  Edit : will throw this in too. Lynx Casascius Astronaut Coin print, signed, 1 of 21 (Mike Caldwell/Casascius gave his blessing for this piece to be sold, and I want to say that’s the last time he’s been active in collectibles, this is I dunno, 6-7 years old? Will get a link to sales thread shortly   WTT FOR- https://cryptograffiti.com/products/terrible-store-of-value This cover theme is a ploy from the famous HBO TV Series Silicon Valley intro , which the show has plenty of bitcoin and cryptocurrency mentions throughout. Here's the intro/inspiration ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m2j_0ivw2I ) If you haven't seen the show, do yourself a favor. First few season are epic. This is not part of the show, just a side marketing sketch, classic ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjrdJBP5i1IOthers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28IpiLraUoc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS1KcjkWdoU As an FA, I was an anomaly in the industry overall as almost none of my peers advisors/traders/etc either knew of bitcoin back in 2014 or they had a negative "scam" view , of course none had ever done the homework like I had. When I first read up on it, man it hit me like a ton of bricks as I lived/saw first hand how bitcoin could change the world. I worked at a very large Fortune 500 firm on a trading floor back when I discovered btc, with a lot smart people but every time I whipped out "Mastering Bitcoin" I got shit or odd looks. I have been stealing accounts away from JP Morgan Chase for years, and never more so than now. I can't go in to specifics but it's sizable enough to where it makes a small differences that could grow, I'm working on it! I fucking despise this piece of human filth (Jamie Dimon) that should be behind bars as he runs the worlds second largest bank, which under his rule as CEO has been fined nearly 50 BILLION dollars in fraud violations. This piece has meaning to my life's work and really want it. When it was available I just didn't have the spare funds. Open to trading something else, I would buy probably too but I got too much stuff and would rather trade for it. I believe this print had a run of 25 but i could be wrong, working on finding out for sure. I know Cryptografitti bank deposit box had 100 prints Please post below of DM if interested. Thx |

So I think I may have mentioned this in a post before but haven't made a topic. One of my long time buddies was diagnosed with cancer recently and as a way to help boost his moral is a handful of other buddies have all bought oculus VRs and they play all sorts of games but often play poker. Do any of you play poker on Oculus and do you know if there's a way of doing so and making real world bets? I'm assuming you'd probably have to create your own room with your friends and have to do it "offline". Anyways I'm planning to get one here very soon to join in and support my boy going through tough times. Is this Oculus? This is one of my favorite internet clips ever  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h4zQGMfN6k |

https://cryptonews.com/cryptocurrency/physical-bitcoin/Here's an example of another idiot who's editor doesn't give a shit if his articles are fact or fiction. It's getting REALLY tiresome of seeing so many shit articles with misinformation. First off, most still say Casascius was first, much to the dismay to many (especially Krogo lol) - but for christ sakes I've written out a timeline spelling it all out, not that hard to find - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174217.0 Also, many articles state they aren't really being made any more. If they aren't funded they are just novelty, with little premium value, and that there is no use for them any more as we have hardware wallets. What these fools don't understand is that it is still cold storage, even safer than hardware wallets in some ways, but one KEY point, they are an excellent way to trade/buy/sell bitcoin off the blockchain. So there's no actual blockchain movement showing to whom and from the coins were sent to. This is a BIG DEAL. This was apparently not "AI" written, but many are. There's so many other shitty ones, anyone else been noticing this too?

Man, a lot happens in 8 years looking back- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1963763.msg19520346#msg19520346I made that topic and we have kinda gotten there but kinda not, as well. @owlcatz (reply to someone asking about grading Kialara’s very nicely shutting the idea down 😛., well now PCGS does, maybe NGC? I can’t keep up but I also don’t like either company because they do shady/shit business. PCGS does not allow drop offs? Fuckn ridiculous! I could go on (to no ones surprise). But the slabs are huge and make Kialara’s way less fun to play with after that. I guess I understand if you plan to send to an auction house (after authentication by a ghost, prob Elias, a non-expert so still trying to figure authentication procedure out. This is going to backfire, sooner than later too). That said while Max was ridiculously generous having cases made, and while it took me some time to have the discussion with him being a buddy and him being VERY generous…I never trusted the cases fully and saw air pockets the day I got them. As anyone knows who’s bought a clear phone case ..no clear soft material will hold its color or provide an “air-tite” fit (technically not even slabs do, I know). Half of mine are yellowing, fog up and while I’ve had a couple bars in them, and not sure if they have created any damage, others have reported slight issues (@MinerJones could speak to this better than I). In that old thread LesbianCow and I were adamant about using high end acrylic ONLY. Max rightfully was concerned about it damaging his art. He still is (still, very understandably). I’ve assured him a proper fitting acrylic case will NOT damage anything. I’ve got coins with big jewels on the outside, all sorts of metal types (hard/soft) and everything in between in acrylic caps, plus 10oz silver bars in the air-tites.com cases which have been in them a decade now..zero issues what so ever. My idea, price out a one size fits all bars acrylic case. For the newer small bars, custom inserts would be placed in all corners to hold them in place, retaining protection and still looking professional.
I spent an hour + on the phone with air-tites.com a few days ago. While they don’t manufacture, they are the leader in 3rd party resale for coin collectors needs (namely acrylic capsules/cases) and have close relationships with their producers. I spoke with the owner directly who was very receptive to our hobby, Kialara’s and is helping me out more than he certainly has to. Should know more soon! For those of you who plan to hodl your Kialara’s forever, like myself, this imo is a no brainer. Interested ? (Price point unknown, but it would be at cost, of course). If anyone knows makers who could accommodate such a project plz chime in. Anyone in touch w @BG4?? Believe his company could makes these np. (Sorry for the novel but I wanted to be thorough).

This past weekend I was out at a few bars for one of my long time best girlfriends birthdays. I am normally not a slot guy but said to myself, lets just see. I guess it's been a while since I've played slots as they are a massive waste of money, but said f it. Good lord they were BORING.
First one I played had instructions, semi clear. Second one I played was due to a girl I had gone out on a few dates with last year and well I wanted to take her home to play her slot machine, if ya know what I mean ( I'm being gross for a laugh) but yeah I did want to take her home but also just wanted to chat, say hello etc. She was down to like a dollar when I showed up. I put like 5 of 10 bucks in. We got up to 60 and lost it all. The machine had ZERO instructions. and these new age slots just have tons of rows with all sorts of shit in the rows, and I thought to myself that I'd post about this as one it's a waste of money but the payout are garbage and it's ZERO fun. Push a button lose, Push a button win a few bucks, meanwhile no strategy, not real big pay out etc.
What is fun about slot machines in modern times, anyone? I don't get it.

I run an extremely large retirement plan here in the United States (well, I am the sole advisor on it). I got asked the other day during a large presentation I was putting on, if you could give a young investor one piece of advice, what would it be. What immediately came to mind "never listen to your friends, family or co-worker when it comes to investment advice. If I had a penny for every bit of piss poor information I've heard one co-worker tell the next or uncle tell his nephew or whatever, I would be a filthy rich man. Why do I bring this up? A buddy of mine whom I love to death, as nice as I can possibly say, is an idiot. Two summers ago we went to the Nelly Ja Rule concert together and someone brought up bitcoin, he said "oh that's a scam". Knowing full well he knows NOTHING about cryptocurrency or finances ..I didn't even hit him with the "ok so bitcoin is a scam, fair enough, what's the blockchain?" NO ONE has ever been able to explain that who's told me bitcoin is a scam. I just told him it's not. He's knows I'm an FA and pretty sure he knew I was pretty "deeply" involved in the bitcoin community. He texts me today "do you know anything about bitcoin" , well last night. I said in fact yeah, I know quite a bit. I asked why "A friend told me I should buy some". I sent him a voice message back ... "Sean, I'm a huge bitcoin supporter, I've been around for over a decade now and truly fell in love with it for the tech. But here's the thing, it's inherently NOT an investment, and you shouldn't consider it until you get your finances straight. He has NOTHING to his name. He just for the first time in his 40 plus year life got a decent job. I know he doesn't know how to properly bank even (credit unions for check, online banks for savings...AVOID the big banks like BOA, Chase, Wells Fargo etc). I also know he doesn't have knickle in any "backbone investments". What I mean buy that is your long term financial plans. 401k's, IRA's etc. I said once you get that on track, then sure I think you should probably put a few bucks in to it, but until then. This is a reminder that your friends likely don't know jack shit about investing, and seek advice from a licensed professional, not some jerk off co-worker who tells everyone to do the same thing even though everyone's situation is different. Let's not forget bitcoin is NOT a replacement for traditional finances. A write up both myself and Greg Maxwell contributed to heavily. Greg is cypherpunk, he sits at the table with best of the best in the "game"...so no need to take my word for it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288768.0As always, my DMs are open. I'm willing to help provide guidance. I will never ask for a fn cent. It's my passion helping people (more so animals, but people too lol). I've offered my services many times here before and I think ONE person has taken me up on it. I'm a 20 year FA, Series 6, 7, 63, 65, life, health, CRC licensed. I'm no fool, take advantage of free help. But my main stressor is don't be dumb, set your foundation first,then buy bitcoin. |

"The Man Who Changed Bitcoin Forever: Andreas Antonopoulos - Bitcoin’s Greatest Advocate!"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMwjKnQ05FsWhen I first learned about bitcoin back in 2014 I started to learn from many people here. I got very lucky getting in with a great group of dudes who knew their shit (we hang out in collectibles). Now they taught me a lot, but I didn't want to bug the shit out of all of them, especially the more advanced buddies of mine, they always made time for me, but it wasn't right to bug them, they are typically very busy guys. Yogg, being the one exception, long story there smh. Anyways I turned to this man (Yogg was also a very big fan of his, as were all my buddies, hence how I heard of him). I first read Mastering Bitcoin, his first book, good idea and a terrible idea lol. It is not meant for people who dont understand coding. I still learned a lot, but 75% of the book went right over my head. I would read some pages 5 times and then just give up lol. So I went to YouTube and watched his speeches and it completely changed everything for me. Now again I'm far from an expert, not even close really, but I've learned a shit ton and when I have conversations with random people, rarely have I met anyone with more knowledge than I...people simply don't do their homework. I was on the beach in Mexico a few weeks ago trying to explain to a small gathering of people why they shouldn't leave their coins on an exchange, especially Conbase, err Coinbase (Brian Armstrong is a complete scamming pos and that exchange has screwed over thousand and thousands of users. Among many other basics anyone who owns any btc should be aware of or have some knowledge of). So if you're still learning, no better place than here to chat, but no better person to listen speak about bitcoin than Andreas. I am not saying his skill level is that of a Nick Szabo, Hal Finney or Greg Maxwell, among others, not that he's not "up there " but he is able to educate and speak in a manner that helped people understand very complex topics within the space He's not as active as he once was, but his videos hold up - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQWe all owe him an extreme debt of gratitude (Roger Ver talked shit to him online once when Andreas admitted he has almost no bitcoin. Ver, the douchbag that he is, ripped in on him saying if you're so sold on bitcoin, and such and advocate, why don't you have bitcoin. He replied that he had spent years traveling and doing many bitcoin related things for free, and that his bitcoin was sold to feed his family and keep a house over their heads. The next morning he woke up to over a million dollars worth of btc in his wallet. Word got out about the convo he had with Ver, and many like myself appreciated what he did for them and decided to help this man who had helped so many of us out. It's an all time great story. He's a true legend in the space. Many regulars will know all this, but many I suspect wont, so thought a write up would be worthwhile after watching that guys new doc on him. Thank Andreas (he's got an account here like most cypherpunk legends, but is not active). |

Ya know, after being fucked out of Facebook (that little twat zuckCuck who’s a poster boy for big corrupt, corporations, deploy massive amounts of propaganda, media control on and on stole the idea where sure it made them billionaires but not like Zuck. Not sure he’s human really, for his sake I hope not.
Anyways log in to Gemini (I’m already really over Wise, Plaid, etc. These third party vendors ..my red flag meter is way up with them (also fyi STOP USING lPayPal, their trickery “fun social media guided feel for Venmo (stop sharing who you do payments with and for what. You’re funding pure corruption and don’t even have a clue. F Google pay (Google I more worse mean words for), use cash app, Jack is a real one.
Okay nuff bitching /trying to educate to force legit fair change. Now if you don’t know already, Coinbase is the worse of the worst because their the biggest and and spend lots of money that could go to infrastructure, but yet they choose to use it on a lot of advertising some of which completely unnecessary and to pay off news outlets to spread propaganda. This is not debatable. This is complete factual information.
So Gemini is now requiring a lot of KYC that’s above and beyond the scope that is fair for signing up for such a platform. As an advisor, I certainly understand KYC requirements & its importance, but they don’t need to know my ethnicity. They don’t need to know my income. They don’t need to know my job title, don’t need to know my salary /net worth etc. could I lie about it all sure but according to one of my good buddies in my collectibles group who is a knowledgeable and reputable member he said that they are actually doing follow up emails saying if you do not provide it because you didn’t finish it you will be booted off their platform it sickens me what’s next you use that money a.k.a. bitcoin to buy Canadian allergy medicine and you get kicked off the platform like I did with Coinbase what a fucking joke it is none of their business that would say you wanna buy porn, which is unnecessary because there’s endless amounts for free but it’s pretty much stuff you have to pay for they will ban you for purchasing porn that is 100% legal. Where do they have the moral and ethical and legal rights to Ass such questions especially being scammers.another a bunch of other shit that they asked for it’s none their fucking business now in finance if you want to b purchasing options contracts or equity link Notes, there is additional KYC requirements, but it’s still in a different manner and a more fair and transparent and legitimate man.
Data mining to sell is a clear obvious ploy of privacy and control over stepping. here.
I’m upset , real upset, will finish this thread in better detail hopefully this weekend though I will be in Aiken concealed carry class all weekend. It is a lot of fun.in AM bout to smash all slurs shit I can fOk
OK I keep falling asleep typing this. I need to get to bed. I hate m
tomorrow. Appreciate any feedback that I come back to it’s always greatly appreciated when people chip in and try to help the community because that’s what it’s all.
Fck Gemini , Conbase, et Okay I Do this anymore I just wanted to get this in because I’ve been wanting to discuss this for a while. I also had a big question to ask. I can’t think of hopefully I’ll have it for y’all tomorrow. Appreciate any interaction and discussion around this area.

I have not been on bitcointalk much of late and I do apologize to those that I owe messages back to. My mailbox is loaded and I just haven't had the time to dig it. Much of the reason are personal but also, I needed a vacation like no other. So I decided to do a little experiment down in Mexico (Cancun SORTA Mexico lol).
I first tried to pay my cabbie from the airport to the hotel. I tried to pay at my hotel, at clubs, bars, resteraunts. It's honestly amazing, given the fact that the Peso isn't very strong, the lack of willingness to accept bitcoin.
My conclusion wasn't that they didn't like bitcoin or anything like that, it was a simple lack of education. I believe this to still be the #1 reason why more people don't own/support bitcoin.
Have you ever used bitcoin in Mexico? I'm not sure I've met a single person on bitcointalk from Mexico..so would love to hear from any Mexicans who read this, if any do!!
Edit: I did give an impromptu financial "seminar" on the beach yesterday about bitcoin. It started off explaining to a couple that I was a financial advisor and whom I worked for and then bitcoin came up. By the end, there was about 10 people (all tourists) asking questions about bitcoin to me. Would you believe that all of them had their coins on Coinbase and many owned mostly shitcoins? smh. ONE guy had a tangem card. So i whipped out my wallet and showed him my Tangem card lol. He said "okay this guy knows what's up, what was that wallet again, Trezor, how do you spell it"... It was a fun interaction.

So if you know much of anything about the financial world, you are aware of whom Vanguard is. They are the second largest fund company on the planet (behind BlackRock). I am absolutely amazed that Vanguards CEO Salim Ramji has not "pulled the trigger” to create an ETF in the space.
I think it's inevitable, and there's no way they can just keep missing out on all this capital. Has anyone heard any updates on this front? This would be a HUGE book for bitcoin and price wise.

One thing that I've noticed is that American football is really starting to pick up overseas. I would imagine that it's only a matter of time before Long themselves has their own team. That writing is already on the wall. Germany is seeing a big uptick and viewership ..
But how about for you and where you live? Naturally the NFL like any sport is heavily betted on, is the becoming a bigger deal where you come from, or not really at all?
