ee speech is violated and the person who is being targeted is not a bad actor but rather they're just on the wrong side of politics. That the market will punish that platform. So I think what you're seeing is people punishing Patreon for taking what looks to be a political position to them as opposed to a principled position. I think if Patreon was taking a principled position people would not have such a problem but yeah it looks like selective enforcement etc.

Would you accept donations in Win tokens? The answer is yes and I'm going to tell you more about that but let me do that tomorrow. And by the way wouldn't the perfect situation be that you could on Patreon, I'll just tease this a little bit. On Patreon if you donate to a producer, a content producer, usually it's a dollar a month. Some people do five or 10 but most people are doing a dollar a month. And your dollar just goes to some of it goes to the bank because it's a credit card so some of it goes to the bank. Some of it goes to Patreon to take their cut and then some of it, most of it goes to the producer. But once you paid it that's it right? Your money just left your wallet and went somewhere else.

But if you were to pay someone in utility tokens for example if you bought the Win token at whenhub.com and you can wait till tomorrow I'll give you details on that. If you were to pay a producer in utility tokens there's a nonzero chance that the tokens that you bought would become worth more than what you gave. So tokens are not an investment so you should not see them as an investment but nonetheless it is true that if you own any kind of crypto token it can go up in value if the demand is high. So if more people wanted to watch me on Periscope and more people wanted to use that mechanism and fewer people wanted to use Patreon that would cause the first people who bought Win tokens to have tokens that have greater demand after they own them. And if you already own the tokens and then greater demand comes in after you the value of your token goes up and there's a market to sell that. So Latoken.com is an exchange which handles the Win. So there is the possibility and I'll tell you how to do this tomorrow but in my specific case I have the option of replacing Patreon with people who want to put a little extra effort into it and buy Win tokens. Then nobody takes a cut of that. It goes directly into my startup. My startup can help the world in some ways that I'm going to tell you about tomorrow. We have a big upgrade by the way. The interface by WhenHub app has a big upgrade. So if you haven't downloaded the upgrade do that. The big upgrade is that you could always talk to experts but before it was only if they were online and now we've added a scheduling tool. So if there's somebody who you want to talk to but you'd rather schedule it or it's the only way you can connect you can now schedule. Scheduling by the way was the first thing our company did so we just grafted our other core competence onto interface and now you can schedule.

Are there career counselors on WhenHub? On any given day there's almost one of everything so if there are not there should be. So we'll be doing a lot more publicity on WhenHub in the coming week. But anyway I'll tell you more about how to get a hold of the Win. It's the best way to c

ompensate me if you don't want to use Patreon and it has a nonzero chance, not a very high chance but a nonzero chance that the tokens could be worth more than you actually paid. So that would be cool. All right it's called Interface by WhenHub. You can search for the app on both of the stores. I'm going to sign off for now and do some other things and I will talk to you later.
