How should we value L1 tokens in crypto? Today's guest, Jonah Weinstein of Skycatcher, introduces RSOV—“Realized Store of Value”—a new metric designed to fundamentally rethink how we evaluate Layer 1 assets like ETH, SOL, and BTC. In this episode, we explore why traditional models like DCF and REV fall short for monetary assets, how RSOV works, and why it may be a better way to understand crypto's total addressable market. Tune in for a fresh perspective that could change how you analyze L1s forever. ------

Ethereum has achieved groundbreaking technological success, but has it failed to properly define ETH the asset? In this episode, Frax founder Sam Kazemian joins us to discuss what he believes is Ethereum's biggest mistake: confusing the ETH asset with Ethereum the technology. Sam argues that post-EIP-1559 and Proof of Stake, ETH unintentionally shifted toward a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model, undermining its potential as a commodity-like store of value. We explore how the Ethereum community can reclaim a stronger narrative around ETH and why social consensus — not just tech — determines an asset's destiny. ------

Today we give the straight talk on the state of the economy that operators running tech companies need to hear. We cover:* Ripple Effects: Even if your company doesn't ship atoms, your customers probably do. Expect slower procurement, deferred renewals, and CFOs eyeing legacy tools.* Investor Vibes: Market uncertainty = deal drag. Think longer diligence cycles, cautious boards, and DCF models sweating in real time.* ERP Economics: When Nike gets budget clotheslined, your cloud spend might too. The trickle-down is real.* Hiring Freeze Incoming: Some MBA grads might be ghosted before day one. And no, Nike won't double hire next year to make up for it.* Winners in the Wreckage: Recommerce, maintenance software, parts platforms, and demand planning tools could quietly shine.* Finance Playbook: Monthly budget reviews, cautious hiring, flexible vendor contracts, and employee comms that treat folks like grownups.* Operational Clarity: Turbulent markets are a great time to re-educate teams on “how we make money here.” Finance literacy = strategic clarity.* Sponsor Shoutout: Gelt for Mostly Metrics—proactive tax strategy for high-growth CFOs who want more than just compliance. go.joingelt.com/mostlymetrics Get full access to Mostly metrics at www.mostlymetrics.com/subscribe

Sam Smink from WFSB discusses the ongoing Waterbury case and maybe an important question in the case should be why DCF didn't conduct check-ups of the kid after being pulled out of school for home schooling. Is this something that could be introduced because of this?

Beta measures systematic risk...great to know, but what do we do with it? In today's episode we'll walk through how to un-lever and re-lever beta based on the capital structure of a target business that you're valuing (e.g. for a DCF analysis).Contact: investmentbankinginsights@gmail.com

In this highly requested video, I'll show you how to easily tell if a stock is expensive or cheap using a Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, analysis. You'll learn why knowing a stock's true value matters if you're aiming for better returns, and I'll clear up the difference between price and value. I'll walk you through when DCFs make sense—and when they don't—plus share key tips and common mistakes to watch out for. I'll also explain why waiting to buy a stock when it's cheap (or sell when it's overpriced) isn't the same thing as trying to time the market. Finally, I'll show my favorite online tool that can visually show you if a stock is expensive or cheap, saving you a lot of time that manual DCFs can take, though I still encourage you to learn how to do them.

     Slam the Gavel welcomes John Scott from Florida to the podcast. John is the victim of multiple DCF Civil Rights Violations by a caseworker that has since left DCF. It all started November 6th, 2023. The caseworker, B. Bachelor, was rude, made malicious insinuations and wanted John to go into detail about DV that was done to him by his ex while in front of the children. This caseworker criminally conspired with multiple members of the Okaloosa County, FL Sheriff's Department to have him arrested for allegedly being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. However, there was a paperwork issue.... Where is the accountability??     John discussed his story and has a 2023 arrest case sealed by a Federal Judge and a 2022 Civil Rights Violation case sealed as well. John has court on April 7th, 2025 and has reached out to 200 law firms and found one that deals with DCF cases.

In this Florida Man Friday episode, Ky tells you the case of Diane Natasha Mack, a former child welfare worker whose actions led to the tragic death of her adopted daughter, Selena. The narrative begins with a seemingly routine 911 call: a mother reporting her unresponsive child. However, what unfolds next is a shocking revelation of abuse and neglect that raises serious questions about the child welfare system. When first responders arrived, they found a malnourished 13-year-old child covered in wounds, a grim reflection of the systemic horrors that had transpired in Diane's home.As we explore the timeline of events, it quickly becomes apparent that Diane's initial claims about her daughter's condition were fabricated. Instead of calling for help immediately, she opted to drive her other children two and a half hours away. This decision to delay medical assistance underscores a chilling narrative of neglect and potential premeditation. The investigation into Diane's home revealed further evidence of sustained abuse, including shackles and blood-stained restraints, highlighting the level of violence and control exerted over Selena. The findings at the crime scene were so disturbing that Sheriff Paul Blackman described it as one of the most shocking cases he had ever encountered.Throughout the episode, we bring to light Diane's background as a Department of Children and Families (DCF) worker, a role that ironically positioned her to protect vulnerable children rather than harm them. My discussion emphasizes the immense failure of the child welfare system, questioning how someone with such a background could adopt children and then subject them to such deplorable treatment. As I break down Diane's history and her stint as a court-appointed guardian ad litem, I confront systemic issues within the DCF — from overwhelmed caseworkers handling excessive caseloads to the alarming lack of proper oversight that allowed this abuse to occur unnoticed.We also hear from Selena's biological mother, Jennifer, who lost custody years prior and desperately sought to reunite with her daughter. Her emotional pleas resonate throughout the episode, serving as a stark reminder of the human cost when child welfare systems fail. As the ramifications of Diane's actions unfold, I discuss the ongoing legal proceedings, including the charges of first-degree murder and the state's pursuit of the death penalty, and reflect on the broader implications for child welfare policies in Florida.As I wrap up the episode, I reflect on the critical need for reform within the DCF and the urgent call to action regarding child protective services nationwide. The tragedy of Selena's case is more than just a singular horror; it reveals widespread systemic failures that place countless children at risk. I encourage listeners to engage with this case and share their thoughts, stressing the need for awareness and accountability in the fight for children's rights and safety. The episode serves as a grim reminder that we must not turn a blind eye; each child deserves protection and care, and it's up to us to advocate for systemic change.********************************************************************************Sources:https://www.myfloridanews.com/news/southwest/sebring-woman-charged-with-murder-and-abuse-of-adopted-daughter/article_2e36efcc-5ca9-5cbb-bdb3-9f17264f1405.htmlhttps://www.lawyerherald.com/articles/60882/20241118/daughter-dead-garage-florida-child-welfare-worker-abuse-bruised-diane-natasha-mack.htmhttps://www.wfla.com/news/highlands-county/ex-department-of-children-and-families-worker-accused-of-killing-teen-daughter/https://people.com/dcf-worker-charged-murder-daughter-found-naked-emaciated-diaper-8747303https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/florida-woman-charged-murder-abuse-death-adopted-daughter-13**********************************************************************************HOW TO SUPPORT LOVE AND MURDER:

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Pieter Slegers to the show. Pieter is the founder of Compounding Quality, an investment newsletter that boasts more than 440,000 subscribers.  Pieter kicks things off by sharing how he got his start in asset management, why he began investing in U.S. stocks, and the difference between value investing and quality investing. This leads to a discussion about Warren Buffett's impressive track record and one particular software company that Pieter likes today. He breaks down several criteria he uses when looking for investment opportunities – including founder-led businesses, long-tenured CEOs, and wide moats – and how exactly he narrows down his list. (1:40) Next, Pieter talks about the evolution of his successful X account that he began anonymously but eventually put his face on after it gained a lot of attention. As Pieter emphasizes, if you're taking investment advice from someone, that person should be invested alongside you and have skin in the game. For that reason, Pieter is looking to launch an investment fund later this year. Pieter then lists off a few companies he likes today and discusses the importance of investing in growing end markets. (20:30) Finally, Pieter gives his thoughts on the balancing act between paying high valuations for good companies versus missing an opportunity to own a great business. As Pieter details, it's all about an investor's individual risk tolerance and whichever strategy works best for them. Pieter also covers the flaws in discounted cash flow ("DCF") models, two companies that are overpriced today based on reverse DCF, and the three valuation methods he personally uses. (37:47)

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Winooksi, Vermont, to discuss the case of Peighton Geraw, a toddler who fell through the cracks of DCF. After presenting with unusual bruising, Vermont DCF Investigator John Salter paid a visit to the family home. At that time, little Peighton was possibly already dead, but the Investigator had no clue as he failed to conduct a physical inspection of the little boy. He was just 14 months and 25 days old. According to the autopsy findings, Peighton showed signs of shaken baby syndrome. He had multiple injuries to the top of his head, a forehead injury, neck injuries, damage to the retinal nerves in both eyes, and brain bleeding. He also had a lower leg fracture. His mother, Nytosha Marie Laforce, only served 4 years for his death.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/local-news/2013/05/30/nashua-police-charge-two-vt-parolees-with-fugitive-from-justice-raps/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/07/10/dcf-worker-cleared-death-winooski-toddler/ https://www.facebook.com/Justice-for-Peighton-100050808793855/   https://www.mynbc5.com/article/former-boyfriend-admits-he-lied-to-police-in-toddler-murder-investigation/3317157 https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/2014/06/13/boyfriend-charged-winooski-baby-death/10429647/ https://www.mynbc5.com/article/tyler-chicoine-facing-charges-of-giving-false-information-to-police/3317152 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206046164/peighton_a-geraw/photo  https://www.mynbc5.com/article/dozens-light-lanterns-for-peighton-geraw/2749501  https://vtdigger.org/tag/peighton-geraw/ https://vtdigger.org/2022/05/03/rev-stephen-berry-dcf-cannot-supervise-itself-it-needs-outside-oversight/ https://vtdigger.org/2016/10/14/plea-agreement-mother-peighton-geraw/ https://vtdigger.org/2015/07/01/report-number-of-vermont-children-in-state-custody-up-by-33-percent/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/11/21/outside-report-criticizes-dcf-handling-child-deaths/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/11/13/father-dezirae-sheldon-sues-state/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/10/01/report-recommends-boosting-staff-training-coordination-dcf/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/07/25/mothers-boyfriend-pleads-guity-death-third-child-ties-dcf/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/07/13/special-report-can-federal-pressure-reunifying-families-lead-tragedy/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/07/10/dcf-worker-cleared-death-winooski-toddler/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/06/20/human-services-chief-shuffles-staff-wake-dcf-problems/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/06/18/mother-third-baby-die-three-months-speaks-dcf-connection/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/05/28/mother-slain-winooski-toddler-pleads-guilty-second-degree-murder-charge/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/05/27/mother-charged-death-winooski-toddler/ https://vtdigger.org/2014/05/13/dcf-responsible-second-toddler-death-commissioner-says/ https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2016/10/07/winooski-woman-baby-death/91732196/ https://apnews.com/general-news-c09ae6a9db184ad0858b93015cc5c8ac https://www.mynbc5.com/article/toddlers-death-prompts-advocates-to-push-for-change/2749551 https://lawreview.vermontlaw.edu/staff-note-victims-of-the-system-can-state-law-and-policy-provide-adequate-protection-for-our-children/ https://www.nefac.org/deaths-two-children-public-records-request-exposes-deficiencies-vermonts-dcf/ https://www.mynbc5.com/article/questions-raised-about-hospitals-actions-days-before-toddlers-death/2748777 https://www.vtcng.com/stowe_reporter/news/local_news/dcf-worker-cleared-in-death-of-toddler/article_fba35eee-0dde-11e4-b476-001a4bcf887a.html https://www.sevendaysvt.com/OffMessage/archives/2014/11/21/damning-report-issued-on-dcf-in-infant-death-cases https://legislature.vermont.gov/Documents/2014/WorkGroups/Committee%20on%20Child%20Protection/Police/W~Det.%20Lt.%20James%20Cruise~Case%20Narrative%2014A102352%20PG-%20Redacted~7-23-2014.pdf https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2021/04/17/mothers-from-hell-nytosha-laforce-killed-her-15-month-old-son-peighton-geraw-sentenced-to-6-15-years-in-prison/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/924134723/?match=1&terms=Peighton%20A%20Geraw https://www.newspapers.com/image/113637712/?match=1&terms=Peighton%20Geraw%2C%20birth https://www.nashuatelegraph.com/news/local-news/2013/05/30/nashua-police-charge-two-vt-parolees-with-fugitive-from-justice-raps/ https://www.facebook.com/tyler.chicoine https://www.facebook.com/nytosha.laforce.5 https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/videos/news/2014/05/28/9674273/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/113694819/?article=391142ca-80a9-45ab-96df-6f625f2fbf80&xid=4717&terms=Peighton_Geraw

In 2020, the Hartmans grow even more isolated as Covid hits: Sophie pulls C out of school citing worsening health and breaks with the church community who've been supporting her and her daughters.  Concerns for abuse grow as Sophie begins to push a new narrative that C has central precocious puberty (CPP), a condition that causes the body to go through puberty prematurely, After making an initial DCF report in 2019 and tracking Sophie's demands for increasingly invasive procedures: Seattle Children's Child Abuse Team files an official report to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families. Her daughters are subsequently placed in protective custody and Sophie is charged with assault of a child in the second degree.  We hear from the Seattle reporter who broke the story, Olivia LaVoice and dig into the extensive documentation from the  investigation with Detective Michael Lee, a major crimes detective in Texas and co-founder of the National Crimes Against Children Investigators Association..

Waarderen. Het blijft een lastig, maar toch groot onderdeel van beleggen. Deze aflevering ruim baan voor de DCF, en in het bijzonder: de reverse DCF. Pim heeft een milde obsessie gekregen voor de term ‘terminal value', waarmee bedoeld wordt hoeveel het bedrijf waard is tot in de oneindigheid. Die periode is veel groter dan de periode waarover je een voorspelling doet, en juist daarin kan heel veel van de waarde worden gecreëerd. Dat maakt het heel belangrijk dat je hier juist goed over nadenkt en je aannames expliciet maakt – en daar kan een omgekeerde DCF erg bij helpen.

In this episode I chat with Andrew Brown from East72 Holdings to debunk some financial metrics.We look at discounted cash flow (DCF) valuations, a metric often authoritatively trumpeted by analysts. Andrew argues that DCF is useless for valuing most companies: it's based on unfounded assumptions and crystal-balling and can be manipulated to fit any narrative.Then there's EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization).

For this installment of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, we bring you the first episode in a new series with our friends from the Nomad Futurist Foundation. Nomad Futurist is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established, per the group's mission statement, "to demystify the world of digital infrastructure and the related technologies that impact every aspect of our daily lives."  Committed to educating youth in underprivileged communities, promoting diversity and inclusion, and opening up opportunities for growth and new career paths, the group says its "primary focus is to empower and inspire younger generations through exposure to the underlying technologies that power our digital world."  Nomad Futurist is known for appointing individuals throughout the data center industry to its ranks of Ambassadors and Advisors, who work to promote the organization's ethos and goals in their professional spheres. The organization's members are a pervasive presence in the data center sector, to be found in attendance and presenting at most industry events in the U.S. and abroad.  The purpose of the Data Center Frontier/Nomad Futurist: Field Report series -- aka "Nomads at the Frontier" -- is therefore to gather recurring industry insight, expertise and commentary from Nomad Futurist leaders and ambassadors, firsthand and in the field, as they participate in these events.  Yotta 2024 Impressions For the first installment of Nomads at the Frontier, Data Center Frontier's Editor in Chief Matt Vincent called into Las Vegas during the debut of Yotta, an event conceived and brought forth by Data Center Dynamics aimed at unifying leaders and stakeholders in digital infrastructure industry at large. For this interview, DCF spoke with Nomad Futurist Advisors Jodie Lin, Customer Advocate and CSR with data center infrastructure company Mirapath, Inc., and Illissa Miller, CEO of iMiller Public Relations, a firm focused on the digital infrastructure industry, for their reflections and impressions from the environs of Yotta 2024. To begin, we asked Lin and Miller for their top takeaways from the show regarding the confluence between the larger world of digital infrastructure and data centers. Next, given how attuned data centers are to the AI technology shift, we asked Nomads Lin and Miller for their perceptions of the level of preparation within rest of the digital infrastructure space, as heard from at Yotta, for facing up to AI's demands and opportunities. DCF also wondered whether, based on impressions received from Yotta, the data center industry's obsessions with power, cooling, sustainability, and managing exponential growth in wake of AI seem to be shared equally by the larger world of digital infrastructure. Finally, owing to certain breakthroughs in the areas of regulation, funding, and planned deployment, this year has felt like a tipping point in terms of optimism for advanced nuclear energy, especially in the US data center industry. As such, we asked our Nomads to gauge whether this anticipation for "new nuclear" energy was as palpable in the larger world of digital infrastructure as encountered at Yotta?

In this episode, Peter Lampert, lead portfolio manager of the International Equity Strategy, provides insights on the team's investment process, the state of the portfolio, and the main drivers that are currently having an outsized impact on performance, namely, semiconductors, obesity medicines, and defense companies. He details his team's rigorous approach to evaluating management teams from both a quantitative and qualitative standpoint, providing an in-depth example of Hitachi. The conversation concludes with a brief discussion of the current macro environment. Key Takeaways: As enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence continues to grow, semiconductor companies have strong competitive advantages and dominant market share in their niche industries. According to the team's DCF model, the long-term growth rates of companies like TSCM have increased, so they have trimmed back some positions to manage risks. With Novo Nordisk leading the way, the growing market for obesity drugs is expected to become the largest therapeutic drug class as more and more companies look to enter the space. Amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts, there is a strong long-term investment case for select European defense companies, as European governments increase defense spending to protect Western values. Regarding areas of opportunity, Peter highlighted the theme of improved corporate governance in Japan as companies in the country aim to meet global standards. When evaluating a company's management team from a qualitative perspective, there are four defining elements: Strategy, operational excellence, capital allocation, and trustworthiness.

Prometheus Hyperscale is the new corporate entity formed this month which expands upon the footprint and the promise of the Wyoming Hyperscale White Box project, first reported on by DCF in 2022.  For this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, we spoke with Trenton Thornock, founder of Wyoming Hyperscale, who has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Prometheus Hyperscale; Trevor Neilson, a seasoned climate-tech CEO and energy transition investor, who joins as the company's President; and John Gross, President of J.M. Gross Engineering, who is handling the project's liquid cooling infrastructure.  The Wyoming Hyperscale White Box data center has been under construction since 2022 on 58 acres of land near Aspen Mountain Evanston, Wyoming, and represents a blueprint for creating super-efficient data centers with low impact on the environment and benefits for the local community. In the companies' transition, Wyoming Hyperscale has merged with Prometheus Hyperscale and been expanded from a 120 MW project to plans for a data center campus with 1 GW of IT capacity. The data center is being built on land owned by Thornock's family, which has been involved in ranching for 6 generations. The location benefits from ready access to renewable energy from nearby wind and solar farms. Wyoming Hyperscale has a contract with Rocky Mountain Power for 120 megawatts of power and a 138 kV substation, which is fed by the same switchgear as the renewable energy generation sites. The site sits on a major east-west fiber highway that tracks the 41st parallel, along which data center hubs have emerged in places like Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Utah. The Union-Pacific Railroad line, which provides key right-of-ways for fiber deployment, runs through nearby Aspen Mountain. The Evanston project underscores Prometheus Hyperscale's commitment to sustainability and innovation. By integrating 100% renewable energy and advanced liquid cooling technology combined with heat reuse, the Evanston facility promises to be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly data centers in the world.  Importantly, less than 10% of the project's power development plan is grid dependent (120 MW of 1,220MW or 9.84%). The first facilities yielded by Phase 1 of the Evanston project are expected to come online within the next 18 months. Prometheus Hyperscale has also revealed plans to construct four other data centers across Arizona and Colorado. And as previously reported by DCF, this May saw the announcement of a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) by fission-based nuclear small modular reactor (SMR) specialist Oklo to deliver 100 MW of power to Prometheus, using Oklo's Aurora Powerhouse reactors for power generation. "Our partnership with Oklo not only provides us with a reliable, clean energy source but also positions us as a leader in sustainable data center operations," said Thornock.

Vanessa Andreotti author of Hospicing Modernity, dean of the faculty of education at University of Victoria and member of the DCF collective came and spoke about what it takes to begin making space for something that isn't modernity. We speak of the importance of humor and humility, staying open to both the good and the sh*t, coming into contact with what modernity is actually doing to us and what it means to be tethered. What happens when there is no away? We speak of form and motion. We speak why fighting or fixing are traps. We speak of the fact that colonialism, the world most of live in, feels good. This is a human, humorous wonderful conversation for those serious about being in service to the different world may also inhabit. Link to facing human wrongs course. Host: Amit Paul

Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) administers the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program in Kansas. Kansas receives about $102 million in federal TANF block grants annually. This amount has generally remained stable since 1996, but that means this amount has lost an estimated 49% of its purchasing power since 1996 because of inflation. One of the programs DCF funds with the TANF block grant is cash assistance. TANF cash assistance serves Kansas families with very low incomes. In Kansas, a family is eligible for TANF cash assistance if they have insufficient income or resources to support themselves. Funds must be granted to families that live in Kansas. The family must include a child or expectant mother who is a U.S. citizen, legal immigrant, or qualified immigrant. The state's 2015 Hope, Opportunity, and Prosperity for Everyone (HOPE) Act changed eligibility requirements for TANF cash assistance in Kansas. This included things like capping lifetime assistance to a total of 24 months and reducing the amount of time single caregivers could be exempt from work activity to 3 months. TANF cash assistance benefit amounts in Kansas haven't been updated since 1997. Spending on TANF cash assistance in Kansas has decreased from about 15% of block grant spending (about $15.2 million) to about 9% ($9.4 million) of block grant spending from FY 2009 through FY 2023, while spending on other TANF programs has increased. The purchasing power of TANF cash assistance also decreased by about 30% from FY 2009 to FY 2023 because of inflation. One reason for the decrease in cash assistance spending in Kansas is the decreasing caseloads. All cash assistance caseloads in Kansas decreased from about 12,600 average monthly cases in FY 2009 to about 2,900 average monthly cases in FY 2023; about a 77% decrease. Other reasons may include eligibility changes, wage increases, and inflation. The research we reviewed suggested TANF rules like those in Kansas lead to mostly negative program outcomes for TANF families, while stakeholders held mixed opinions about the impacts of Kansas's TANF rule changes.

In 2000, 4-year-old Rilya Wilson was living with her sister and foster parents, Pamela Graham and Geralyn Graham, in the Miami, Florida area. During this time, Rilya was still under the care of The Florida Department of Children and Families. In April 2002, a new caseworker was assigned to oversee her care, but when they visited the home, her foster parents claimed that DCF had removed Rilya from their custody nearly two years prior. Unable to locate any record of this, Rilya was reported missing. However, it wasn't long before the truth about the Grahams and DCF came to light, exposing the many failures in Rilya's case. If you have any information about Rilya Wilson, contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement at (850) 410-8161. For more information about the show, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com.
