Now I wanted to share a warning about fake Ukraine images. I've been thinking about this all through the, um, lead-up to the Russia invasion with Ukraine and everyone's commentary on it. And I'm thinking, how does anyone really know what's going on? And where is everyone getting their information from? Because, you know, most people seem to think that they're well clued up and maybe an expert on the situation. And, you know, I'm the first to say I'm no war expert, but I just want to give a warning that I was thinking about and then saw some of this on social media about fake Ukraine images. Now, before I do, I firstly want to say I don't believe that war is the answer. I believe that peace is the answer. And I stand for Ukraine and stand against war, and I want to use my social media for good. So for example, I'm supposed to be in my NFT launch. My NFT is preview pre-launch this Sunday, 8 PM, and that's supposed to be what I'm talking about. But here I am talking about, quite frankly, more important world issues. And this is important. I will share with you access to my NFT preview should you, um, you know, want to come and register. But, um, it has been emerged in the media that there's quite a lot of false images around Ukraine being shared— images of previous wars or images taken out of context. If you look in the media, you know, you see the destructive pain in a person and you wonder, are those images true or not? And let's be honest, we're not there. And let's be honest, you need to be careful where you take your source of information from. So beware of all the fake images, you know, being shared on social media about Ukraine. And I think we need to be honest and humble enough to know that we don't really know what's going on, and we're only seeing what we're being fed. Now, some people believe it's a fake war. I can't go that far. I don't think that necessarily. I believe there really is something going on with Russia moving in on Ukraine, but I only see what I see. Unless you're actually there on the ground, you don't know. So all I can say is I don't believe in war, and I believe we should support peace and anyone being attacked or invaded. But anything else I see in the media, I have to be, um, balanced and mindful of the fact that I only know what I'm being fed or seen or shown. And there has emerged a lot of fake images. And I was actually, you know, trying to look on different media outlets, some that were maybe more independent, some that were more decentralized, as well as the mainstream. And it's all really different, really different. So we don't know what's really true, and I think that is um, just wise to understand and to try and stay balanced. But war is not the answer. Surely we are a more evolved species now with humanity where we don't need to resort to war. Surely we can have peace. Surely we can all agree to disagree and everyone can have their say without being canceled in the media like Joe Rogan has had, um, you know, a threat on being canceled, or have, or have our bank accounts frozen like is happening in Canada. To me, this is not where humanity should be going, and totalitarian or authoritarian and ultimately dictatorial leadership I do not believe is the answer. And if that is happening with Putin in Russia, and if that is happening with Trudeau in Canada, then I believe they have lost control. And I believe, you know, they don't really understand the full essence of modern leadership. That would be my share on the matter. I hope that you share this content. I hope that you stay balanced. I hope that you're vigilant against fake news and fake imagery. I also hope that you support peace, not war, and we look for, um, you know, responsible leadership, uh, and not totalitarian or dictatorial leadership. So these are my party political broadcast interruptions because actually I'm supposed to be talking about my NFT launch which happens this Sunday, 8 PM GMT. So if you'd like to be able to join me on a private Zoom mastermind If you'd like to get a sneak peek into my very unique launch of NFTs and the digital assets and the sponsorships and the partnerships and the access to many special events that come with my NFTs, if you just go to tiny.cc/tiny.cc/robnft, tiny.cc/robnft, simple as that. Look, what's going on in the world is more important than anything I've got to share with you in terms of starting or scaling your business. Um, but this is what I do. I am an entrepreneur first and foremost, and I believe that my NFTs are disruptive and unique, and I believe that they could be very valuable to you. And even if you don't want to invest in one or it's not where you're at, I believe you should learn about NFTs. I believe that you should, um, you know, understand how they're going to change the world. You know, um, cinemas hated Netflix, taxis hated, uh, Uber, hotels hated Airbnb, banks hated Bitcoin. And Web 3.0 of NFTs, the metaverse, and cryptos, they're disruptive. They're shaking up the old guard, they're shaking up the monopolies, they're shaking up the mainstream media, they're shaking up the corporates. And this is what we need. Let's be honest, would you agree? We need to shake up mainstream media, we need to shake up big tech, we need to shake up, you know, all the big corporates. We put these people in the where, you know, we're not controlled by, you know, bigger powers and forces, but we must hold them accountable. Exactly. Make peace, not war. Um, so if you want to see what NFTs are all about, their uses, their functions, their disruptions, their innovation, how they can change the world, how they can make our lives easier, faster, better, more convenient, how they can disrupt mainstream media, how they can disrupt big tech and corporates, simply go to tiny cc, tiny.cc/robnft. It's all there. It's this Sunday, 8 PM GMT. There'll be no recordings and no replays. I'm not going to charge you for this. It'll be a Zoom mastermind with me. You can do questions and answer sessions with me, and I'll talk you through the ABCs of NFTs, the 5 A's of NFTs, the good, bad, and the ugly of NFTs, the opportunities of NFTs. Um, and so, you know, by the way, someone said buying into NFT is supporting big tech and corps. No, it's not. Not if they're decentralized. Only if it's a big tech or corp NFT. Otherwise, they are the definition of decentralization. And we need decentralization of voting. Maybe if there was a proper decentralized voting system, some of these dictators wouldn't be in power, if they are dictators. So we need decentralized voting, we need decentralized media. And NFTs can be a great part of that. So I'll see you at tiny.cc/robnft. Link is in the comments. Now, this is what I'm supposed to be talking about, um, because Sunday is the preview launch of my NFT series. But I thought it important to interrupt, you know, um, what I'm sharing as an entrepreneur because the world events, I believe, are more important right now. So to summarize, I support peace, not war. I stand for Ukraine, but beware of all the fake Ukraine images on the internet and just be balanced to understand what's really going on and try and get your news and media from all sources, especially decentralized media sources and, you know, not just mainstream media. You know, hopefully what I've shared with you here is pretty balanced and pretty decentralized. I'm admitting that I don't know everything about what's going on in Ukraine and Russia. And I'm admitting that, you know, I can only see what I'm being fed. And so it's my responsibility to get a good cross, um, breadth of information, um, and, you know, challenge, uh, and not always believe what you see in mainstream media. Thanks for tuning in, everyone. Please hit the share button. I think it's really important to stand for Ukraine, stand for peace, but be vigilant against fake imagery. You know, and media narratives and biases and sensationalism. Let's be honest, they can doctor any image or any video or any picture to create sensationalism and emotion, and we need to be careful of that too. But that being said, you know, my thoughts and prayers and wishes are with anyone in Ukraine, you know, who's going through this terrible time. Thank you for following me. Please hit the share button, and I'll see you in the next video. Oh, and remember this: if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
