Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, Jamie and Ronny, two passionate individuals who are founders of the first Bitcoin-related hardware store, share their Bitcoin journey, their initiatives for financial inclusion, the regulatory challenges they have had to overcome, and how their first Bitcoin-related hardware store is also their way to build a better Bitcoin community in El Salvador.Jamie and Ronny are two entrepreneurs who set up the first Bitcoin hardware store in El Salvador, putting them at the forefront of Bitcoin innovators in the country. They share their personal Bitcoin journeys and what prompted them to start the world's first Bitcoin hardware store in El Zonte. Their goal is to provide Bitcoin-related hardware and educational resources to El Salvador, showing the value of self-custody and financial freedom, which they promote through the products and workshops.While in El Salvador Bitcoin is an accepted legal tender, Bitcoin adoption isn't generally smooth sailing, which both Jamie and Ronny are working on making this process easier for everyone.Jamie and Ronny have been working on providing educational resources to make participants informed and active users and not just passive individuals. Bitcoin education empowers individuals and gives them a better chance to participate in the global economy. They encourage Bitcoin adoption among locals. They can already envision the growth of Bitcoin and how it would greatly contribute to education, economic empowerment, and financial inclusion for all.Bitcoin adoption is more than just a financial experiment in El Salvador, it is set to transform the country's economy and let individuals gain financial freedom. It is also set to transform personal lives like just with Ronny and Jamie. The experiences and insights showed us a glimpse of the challenges, but also the opportunities and other possibilities that can shape El Salvador as the pioneer country to adopt Bitcoin.

Ya hemos hecho unos cuantos audios sobre coches que son, o pueden ser, una buena inversión. Pero hoy vamos a hacer lo contrario, coches que creemos que cuestan más de lo que valen y que te aconsejamos no comprar.. aunque no suela. Pero como en Garaje Hermético somos así de buena gente… siempre positivos… te damos al menos una alternativa. Habréis oído, en este canal y en otros, que muchos coches clásicos tienen precios disparatados. Y por lo general pensamos en coches de alta gama: Mercedes “Pagoda”, Jaguar E, todo tipo de Ferraris y cosas así. Pues no. Muchos coches modestos, muchos “clásicos populares” tienen precios que personalmente considero “disparatados”. Pero, ¿cuánto vale un coche? “Las cosas valen tanto como alguien esté dispuesto a pagar por ellas”. Así que por mucho que estos coches que te traiga me parezca que tienen un precio mayor del que deberían, si se pagan estas cifras es que lo valen. Estamos en un sistema de libre mercado y la oferta y la demanda es la ley y la que marca los precios. Por eso en este vídeo os doy alternativas más accesibles y no menos interesantes. Algunos de estos coches, me ha dolido ponerlos en esta lista… Espero que os guste. Y vamos ya con los 10 elegidos. 1. BMW M3 E30. Hicimos un video entero dedicado a este coche titulado “BMW M3 E30: El primero y el mejor”. Faltaría añadir, “y el más caro”. Cuando veo anuncios de estos coches la mayoría por encima de los 100.000 € siempre pienso: “No los vale”. Alternativa: Mercedes 190 2.3 16v. Puede costaros entre ¡4 y 5 veces menos! 2. Honda S2000. Encontrarlo por debajo de 20.000 € no es fácil… y hablamos de coches que en algunos casos tienen 20 años. Alternativa: Mazda MX5. Lo sé, no es lo mismo, pero por ese dinero te compras un MX5 con unos 4 o 5 años y motor de entre 160 y 184 CV… 3. Mitsubishi EVO VI. He elegido el EVO VI de 1999 porque lo probé a fondo y aunque su equipamiento era muy pobre, no lo era tanto como sus antecesores y con un sistema de tracción total muy eficaz y 280 CV era una máquina devoradora de curvas. Pero no encontrarás ninguno que valga la pena por debajo de los 50/60 mil euros. Alternativa: Subaru Imprezza WRX STi. Otro mito de idéntica potencia, peculiar motor bóxer y que vas a encontrar claramente más barato… incluso por la mitad… 4. Porsche 911-930 Turbo Primera generación. Si hay un coche que me apasiona es este 911 Turbo de 1974. Un coche con carácter y que necesita un conductor hábil…. y rico. No lo vas a encontrar por menos de 150.000 € en un coche que valga la pena… Alternativa: Por ese precio estrenas un Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 cargado de opciones y con 400 CV… 5. Renault Clio Williams. Es el mejor Clio 16v nunca construido. Tenía el tren delantero del R19, motor dos litros de 150 CV y un buen reglaje de suspensiones. Pero difícilmente los vas a encontrar en buen estado por debajo de 30.000 €… Alternativa: Que no es otro que el Renault Clio 16v digamos “normal” de solo 136 CV. 6. Renault 5 GT Turbo. Para mi otro de los monstruos sagrados… Un coche muy especial, muy querido y muy eficaz. Ahora no los veo por debajo de 10.000 €, más bien 15.000 €… un disparate. Alternativa: Peugeot 205 GTi, un coche de 130 CV, eficaz, con carácter, probablemente mejor acabado que el Renault. 7. Seat León MKI Cupra. El Seat León Cupra R con su motor de 4 cilindros y 20 válvulas ofrecía 225 CV y era un coche bonito, bien acabado y de muy buen comportamiento. Difícil encontrar uno por menos de unos 12/14 mil euros. Alternativa: Citroën ZX GTi 16v, un coche más antiguo, de “solo” 167 CV, pero que vas a encontrar por un 30/40 por ciento menos. 8. Seat 600. Si, el famoso “pelotilla”, el coche que motorizó España, un modesto utilitario del que hubo miles y miles… y quedan poquitos. Y quien tiene uno en buen estado, considera que tienen un tesoro… Alternativas: Seat 850. 9. Toyota Supra MKIV. Me refiero al Bi-Turbo fabricado entre 1993 y 1998 con motor 3 litros, 24 válvulas, dos turbos y 330 CV… precioso, rápido pero que requiere un conductor que sepa lo que se hace y que tenga una saneada cuenta corriente. No te hagas ilusiones, por debajo de 50.000 no encontrarás nada, pero si incluso por encima de los 100.000 €, ¿estamos locos? Alternativa: Subaru SVX. Me he ido por las ramas, porque el SVX es un coche muy diferente pero su precio ronda los 10.000 €... 10. Volkswagen Golf GTi MKI. Es el mejor Golf, el más auténtico y original, diseño Guigaro, eterno, buena inversión y perfecto si te haces con una versión 1.8. Pero no encontrarás este modelo por menos de 20.000 €. A veces ves uno por 12.000 o 15.000 €… y sospechas. Alternativa: Renault 19 16v. Otra vez me voy por las ramas, pero ¡es que los hay por 4.000 €! Y tenía 140 CV. Un auténtico patito feo que vale la pena buscar.

Canarias y América están unidas por potentes lazos desde el descubrimiento de América en el SVX. Cuando el inmenso Imperio Español necesitaba crear colonias en el Nuevo Continente impuso el llamado Tributo de Sangre. Gracias a él muchos canarios llegaron, se establecieron y fundaron ciudades en América. Todavía hoy sus descendientes se reconocen como canarios. Pasó el tiempo y también el tributo de sangre, pero los canarios siguieron emigrando. Unos regresaban y traían América consigo: música, gastronomía, danza…Muchos nunca regresaron, pero su presencia dejó huella sobre todo en Latinoamérica. https://www.lenguababel.com/podcasts-transcripcion-y-ejercicios/capitulo-27-canarios-en-america-1o-tributo-de-sangre-2/

Randy Bish is a relatively new lemons racer for the League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessmen racing team that is off to a spectacularly good start by making all the best bad decisions possible, including racing their 1972 Ford Pinto. On this episode, we go over his racing experiences so far and cover the topic that no one ever thought they wanted to know: what is the best way to race a Pinto in endurance racing. Jennifer and Vicki particularly enjoyed this since their first car was also a 1972 Pinto. Randy may be new to Lemons, but he seems to have found his tribe. On Dominating with Dawson, Ben covers being on track for the first time, what to do, and what not to do. It can be intimidating at first thought, but hopefully, this will assuage some of your potential concerns and give a brief guideline if you are going to a track for the first time and what the other drivers would like for you to do. Short summary, stay on line, stay safe, and be predictable. They also expect you to be off pace, so don’t worry about them or the F1 and Indy Car scouts in the grandstands. To follow Randy and his team, you can find their team on Instagram or Facebook as the League of Legitimate Nigerian Businessmen with their official pace car of mediocrity. We hope you enjoy the episode! The episode you never asked for. Best regards, Bill, Vicki, Jennifer, and Alan Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training podcast and team members in the GHiT Immature Endurance Racing Team Highlights from the episode include: 1) Design discussion of why the flames go in reverse from the back of his Pinto. Our more seasoned listeners likely already know. 2) How he learned all the details of his grandfather while his grandpa was behind the while as Randy was a boy. 3) A summary of his two races last year at Pitt Race and Gingerman with the 24 Hours of Lemons. 4) Randy’s very novel and very lemons charity fund raising method on the 24 Hours of Lemons i-Racing events, how this horribly awesome idea came to be and how much money he was able to generate for charity at the cost of some of his liver. Maybe someday he will remember the race, but we doubt it. 5) We may actually have convinced Vicki to race this Thursday. Tune in this Thursday and we shall see. 6) Matt Ferenchak and Florida Man Donnie get a few mentions, some even complimentary, lol. 7) Randy Bish tries out for being a spokesmen for the Michelin Ice-X tire for amateur endurance racing. 8) How a water pump can become a spinning end mill of death. 9) How the initial “success” at Pitt Race led to his team going all in and winning the Heroic Fix at their next race at Gingerman. 10) We find out the Randy Bish has a car obsession with big, Detroit luxury boats, the floatier the better. But that does not seem to explain his having owned 3 SVX’s. 11) Their team’s experience as the unintentional role as the unofficial Yellow Flag “Pace Car” at Pitt Race. 12) Randy actually was able to use the term provenance and Pinto in the same sentence. Admirable. 13) We go deeper than anyone ever thought possible into the advantages of a racing Pinto. 14) “Tires are evil and must be punished”. Words to live by. And Jen’s train agrees. 15) Bill gets an honorary place on Randy’s list of favorite drivers. But it turns out to be kind of like winning the Heroic Fix award in Lemons. 16) The El Jeffe makes a surprise appearance in being a desirable race car to swap into, but then again, Randy is used to driving a Pinto race car so….
We are back from vacation, and just in time to record part two of our special Weird Car Archives series on the Lost Subaru Coupes. Today we look at the Subaru XT's younger and more famous brother, the SVX. With the SVX Subaru attempted to enter the Luxury GT market, and actually made a very competitive car. But would it be enough to overcome the 90 Japanese car bubble? Or would it lead Subaru down another path and market all together?

Welcome to the big 3-0! We're thirty Main Show's in, yet we've never once discussed how we got into cars! Today, we fix that. (And buckle up, because it's a long one) *BUT* before we dive deep into Civic hatches, SVX half-windows or 70's land yachts, we chat about our progress with our current weight-loss challenges, along with just how badly people want high-quality detailing brushes! If you JUST want to hear about our car-loving origin stories, you can skip to 34:31 and that's pretty much all we talk about for the rest of the podcast! OH!

Many economic and financial time series exhibit time-varying volatility. GARCH models are tools for forecasting and analyzing the dynamics of this volatility. The co-movements in financial markets and financial assets around the globe have recently become the main area of interest of financial econometricians; hence, multivariate GARCH models have been introduced in order to capture these co-movements. A large variety of multivariate GARCH models exists in the financial world, and each of these models has its advantages and limitations. An important goal in constructing multivariate GARCH models is to make them parsimonious enough without compromising their adequacy in real-world applications. Another aspect is to ensure that the conditional covariance matrix is a positive-definite one. Motivated by the idea that volatility in financial markets is driven by a few latent variables, a new parameterization in multivariate context is proposed in this thesis. The factors in our proposed model are obtained through a recursive use of the singular value decomposition (SVD). This recursion enables us to sequentially extract the volatility clustering from the data set; accordingly, our model is called Sequential Volatility Extraction (SVX model in short). Logarithmically transformed singular values and the components of their corresponding singular vectors were modeled using the ARMA approach. We can say that in terms of basic idea and modeling approach our model resembles a stochastic volatility model. Empirical analysis and the comparison with the already existing multivariate GARCH models show that our proposed model is parsimonious because it requires lower number of parameters to estimate when compared to the two alternative models (i.e., DCC and GOGARCH). At the same time, the resulting covariance matrices from our model are positive-(semi)-definite. Hence, we can argue that our model fulfills the basic requirements of a multivariate GARCH model. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that SVX model can be applied to financial data of dimensions ranging from low to high.
