1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,920 Has Michael Saylor change everything and no one even 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,520 noticed? While we've all been distracted 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,200 by the Middle East and markets bleeding trillions of dollars, 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,840 one of Michael Saylor's products has been quietly buying billions 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,800 of dollars worth of Bitcoin. Could this product alone be the 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,680 catalyst that end bitcoins bear market early and leave everyone 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,720 in disbelief waiting to buy Bitcoin at lower prices? 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,200 I know that sounds crazy, but what Sailor has done with 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,840 Stretch is truly incredible. There is so much interest in the 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,360 last week it it really is almost mind blowing what we're seeing 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,400 happen. And as Sailor said in the past, 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,880 this is in his opinion the iPhone moment. 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,920 But before I get into all of the numbers, let me play you the 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,440 clip from Matt Hogan a bit wise explaining why there is so much 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,319 interest in this STRC or Stretch product from MicroStrategy. 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,200 I mean, the leading preferred is STRC, which is a really 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,720 fascinating instrument for people who don't know 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,840 corporations can have multiple different kinds of securities. 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,920 They can have bonds that are just debt instruments. 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,720 They can have convertible bonds that can convert into shares. 21 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 They can have common stock, which is just the stock that 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,680 most of us don't. And then there's this unique 23 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,720 streak called preferred equity. Where preferred equity sits is 24 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,560 it's above the common in the event that the company goes 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,360 bankrupt. So you pay off your debts and 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,400 then you distribute the proceeds first to the bondholders, then 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,600 convert holders, then preferred. But what what's really unique is 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,320 that they can pay income, they can pay distribution. 29 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,600 So with STRC specifically, it's paying about an 11 1/2 percent 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320 annual yield. And then what micro strategy 31 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,840 does is it raises or lowers that yield in an effort to get the 32 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,400 keep the preferred price at $100.00. 33 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,720 So what we've seen even during this massive drawdown is that 34 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,680 the preferred stock has stayed right around $100 and the people 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,440 have been getting 11 1/2% yield and it's mostly tax free because 36 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280 it's technically return of capital, they're able to offset 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720 losses. The risk you're taking with 38 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,960 something like STRC is that MicroStrategy effectively is 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,800 deciding what the yield is. So they can make the yield more, 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,240 they can make the yield less. Theoretically, they could not 41 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,680 pay a yield at all. The, the, the reason you're 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,600 betting they won't take that last option is that it would be 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,040 a huge reputational damage to the firm. 44 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,840 So that's the risk you're taking. 45 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,440 But the benefit is you're getting like a, a, a really 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:55,160 hefty tax deferred yield, 11 1/2 percent is hard to come by and 47 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,480 they've been doing a very good job. 48 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,960 I suspect that that the interest in STRC and and and copycats of 49 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,640 that will be really significant for the next 12 months or so. 50 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,080 All right, guys, that last point, well, rather probably 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,120 that second to last sentence, that is the main idea right 52 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,000 here. 11.5% yield, annual yield is hard to come by and I think 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,280 This is why we're starting to see it pick up. 54 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,680 I think traditional financial investors are starting to look 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440 at what Sailor is doing and and they're getting excited. 56 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,840 Maybe it's the green bug, whatever you want, but you do 57 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120 not get those type of revert re returns from traditional 58 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920 financial vehicles. That is why this is so 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,080 interesting. But from you, from the viewer, 60 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,680 from someone that might just be a Bitcoin holder, you're 61 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520 probably like, why? Why is this? 62 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,320 Why? How could this product in and of 63 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,240 itself and the Bitcoin bear market? 64 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,640 Well, that's obviously the big speculation. 65 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,520 That's the big if. But when you look at the 66 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920 numbers, it is absolutely insane what they've done in the last 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,160 week, which from our friends over at Bitcoin Magazine really 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,240 show just how crazy this last week has been for the Stretch 69 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,080 product. Sailor's strategy has bought an 70 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:19,880 estimated accumulated 9454 bitcoins so far in the last week 71 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,200 via just the STRC product. Just one of Sailor's product has 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,240 bought close to 10,000 Bitcoin in the last week. 73 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,560 Now if you connect that with what with what Matt Hogan said 74 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,520 he's like, I'd expect that this might continue for the next 12 75 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,400 months, which means there might be a whole new interest into the 76 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000 stretch product. And if this amount of Bitcoin 77 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,520 thing happens continuously, if Sailor somehow with one product 78 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,600 is miraculously able to buy 10,000 Bitcoin per week and that 79 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,200 demand just continues to snowball and get bigger and 80 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,560 bigger and bigger. That is an incredible amount of 81 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Bitcoin that is going to end up in strategy and just in one of 82 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,880 his products, the SDRC product. Now this number again for you 83 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,480 guys at home to really wrap your head around just how much 84 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,160 Bitcoin they bought in this last week. 85 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Remember, 450 Bitcoin are released per day, 9454 Bitcoin. 86 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,280 That's about 21 days of Bitcoin buying done in a single week by 87 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,920 sailors. So if that continues to go on 88 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,320 and they're just chewing up all of this Bitcoin week by week 89 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,120 again, demand, supply, economics, you'd expect the 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,240 price to go up. Now to make this even crazier, 91 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,440 this STRC product with the amount of interest it's gotten 92 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,160 in the last week, they have now been able to raise enough 93 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,200 capital to buy another 4000 Bitcoin. 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,000 So 9 almost 10,000 this week at minimum 4000 next week. 95 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Now you can see how the dominoes are just continuing to grow. 96 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,840 If this continues to go up and more people are incentivized to 97 00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,320 use this coming from more a tradify investor because you at 98 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,880 home, you're probably just thinking, hey, I just want to 99 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,080 buy Bitcoin in spot. Totally get it. 100 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,640 I don't want to buy a levered Bitcoin play. 101 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520 I don't want to buy a security. I want to own Bitcoin. 102 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,240 I mean, just do what what sailors doing, right? 103 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Yes. But from his perspective, again, 104 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,480 a product market fit, he is not necessarily marking these 105 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,840 products for us at home. Yes, you can use this product if 106 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,800 you're trying to get an 11.5% annual yield, you know, tax free 107 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,360 and income. Like obviously there's a there's 108 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,920 a product market fit for us as individuals, but from a more 109 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,120 traditional institutional investment outlook, this is 110 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,240 starting to really be a game changer. 111 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 And Nico brought this up last week when we mentioned stretch 112 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,480 the first time, maybe it was the first time on the show. 113 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,200 I think we've hinted at it. It's starting to really, really, 114 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440 I think turn a lot of eyes here, you know, turning a lot of heads 115 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760 here. Sorry, I the optiisms on the 116 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880 show. Anyways, here is the 117 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,280 strategy.com stretch dashboard and you can just see the amount 118 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,680 of interest, just the amount of money that is already been 119 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,840 acquired by this product. And it's their latest product. 120 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,160 It's relatively new and you're starting to see it's it's really 121 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680 just picking up. I think it's that, well, I don't 122 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,920 think I know it's it said 11.5% annual yield. 123 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,880 That is we're starting to see a frenzy around here. 124 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,520 You're starting to see that people are really starting to 125 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,520 notice this product. Obviously we've seen around the 126 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:42,040 world institutions, hedge funds, even central banks really get 127 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,720 incentivized to buy MSTR, just the common stock. 128 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,560 Now we might be seeing a whole new incentive structure building 129 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,120 on top of these, you know, equities, Bitcoin stocks, what 130 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,400 whatever, whatever you want to call them, preferred stocks. 131 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,080 You're seeing it. He might have actually done what 132 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,280 he said he did a few years ago on I forget what stage it was. 133 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080 It might have just been at the Bitcoin for corporation stage. 134 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,000 But he's like, I think this is the iPhone moment for Bitcoin. 135 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,160 It's a stretch product. And again, he is tapping into a 136 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,160 lot of trap liquidity a lot, a lot of different markets that 137 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Bitcoin wasn't really looked at favorably. 138 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,760 It wasn't really able or capable of getting and attracting this 139 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,840 kind of well. And we're seeing it, it's, it's 140 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,480 working like he found an incredible product market fit 141 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,280 here. He he and he found himself like 142 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,600 the product here. And it is kind of interesting 143 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,120 when you remember how Sailor got to this point. 144 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,480 And I, I'm not going to, you know, be too cynical about it, 145 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,040 but it did seem like Sailor was just kind of throwing products 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,720 at the wall and seeing what sticks. 147 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,560 And some of them were really well, obviously the MSTR stock, 148 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080 the Bitcoin treasury play was obviously he was ahead of the 149 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,920 curve on that one. They've been able to acquire 150 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,600 close to 1,000,000 coins. They might even be able to get 151 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,160 to 1,000,000 coins if this bear market continues to go sideways 152 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520 for a while or even lower. If it goes lower, he's for sure 153 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000 probably going to be able to get to 1,000,000 Bitcoin. 154 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,600 But this one, the stretch product, as Matt Hogan said, as 155 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,240 we're seeing from the amount of interest, as we're seeing by the 156 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,800 amount of Bitcoin that has been accumulated in a single week, it 157 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,040 really, it really seems like this one is going to be the game 158 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,960 changer product. Maybe you're not interested in 159 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,440 just buying a levered Bitcoin play by buying MSTR. 160 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,240 Maybe it's just preferred stock because you, you know, you just 161 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,400 want to 1111 1/2 annual income here tax free. 162 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400 You don't really want to do anything you want to, you know, 163 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,320 get paid. Remember the whole idea, Bitcoin 164 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120 has no yield. Why would I invest into this 165 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,480 thing if I'm a traditional financial investor? 166 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,440 Sailor, I think might have unlocked all of the capital. 167 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,920 This is definitely going to attract. 168 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,440 I don't know if this product alone the the stretch product, 169 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,000 but this idea is definitely going to be able to attract, you 170 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,240 know, trillions of dollars, whether it's spread out a bunch, 171 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,600 a bunch of competitors or you know, Sailor just continues to 172 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,600 innovate. But even if it if it's just this 173 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,800 product in the market and sailors able to attract this 174 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,160 much capital into it and he's able to buy thousands of Bitcoin 175 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,640 via this new flywheel that he's created. 176 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,440 This is why you're starting to look at this and be like, wow, 177 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,240 is Sailor little literally single handedly going to end the 178 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,280 bear market by himself. And to sailors credit, he went 179 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,840 out there and tweeted something very interesting and everyone on 180 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,360 Twitter is like, wait, what? What is he saying here? 181 00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,920 Like what does he know? What is going on behind the 182 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,800 scenes? What is sailor watching? 183 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,320 Because yesterday he tweeted this basically right when we 184 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,560 went live. And I saw this earlier and I, I 185 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:14,000 didn't connect the dots with the stretch product, but it does 186 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,880 make you think it's like, wow, I think Sailor is literally saying 187 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,520 he just ended the bear market. So I'll, I'll pass it over to 188 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,680 Nico after I read this tweet. But Sailor yesterday tweeted, 189 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,800 you know, there's a delay between the time we buy Bitcoin 190 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,000 and the time Bitcoin goes to the moon. 191 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,320 You're like, yo, Sailor is really, he's really out here 192 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320 kind of flexing right now. He's like like last week we 193 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,880 bought or this week, sorry, this week we bought 10,000 Bitcoin 194 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,520 just in one of my products. He's continuing to raise capital 195 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,560 and do the the standard flywheel Bitcoin treasury play. 196 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,480 Now he's got multiple vehicles of attracting Bitcoin. 197 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,520 There's not that much Bitcoin released daily. 198 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,560 It does feel like we are seeing the end of seller exhaustion. 199 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,480 Obviously, there's still debate, there's still speculation of 200 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,600 whether we'll see another, you know, leg down. 201 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,440 I know that's kind of the consensus right now, but if this 202 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,520 continues and we have seen the end of OG selling Bitcoin, the 203 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,520 end of Bitcoin mining, public companies selling Bitcoin, this 204 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,560 could get out. This could get out of out of 205 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,800 hand to the upside. This remember I said it the 206 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,840 other day, the violent repricing again sailor by himself might be 207 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,200 doing this exact thing. And then, of course, once the 208 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,360 number actually goes back up once we probably break out of 209 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,080 the 70 K area is when you'll you'll know for sure. 210 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,840 I I did talk to Luke this morning, guys. 211 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,880 You know our our reigning more almost more bullish friend than 212 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,680 me. He has been kind of bearish the 213 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,560 last couple of days privately. And I, I don't mean to put your 214 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:57,400 business out there, Luke, but he's like, yo, if we break out 215 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,160 past 84 K like it's, it's on like Donkey Kong and then me and 216 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,400 then I'm in the middle like, yo, you're bearish. 217 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,000 And Nika's like we're still going to 40K, bro. 218 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,200 So look what Sailor has done. I think what he will continue to 219 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920 do with this product is just insane. 220 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,840 He if if Sailor again if sailor alone just is able to acquire 221 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:25,200 1000 close to 10s of thousands of Bitcoin into a single 222 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,560 product. It's just simply supply, demand, 223 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,520 economics. Yeah, I mean, like what's crazy 224 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,440 to me about all of this is and we wouldn't talking about 225 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,480 stretch for a while now, first of all, the the memes dropping 226 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,960 from the the strategy CEO are hilarious, right? 227 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,880 It's like, you know, the doctor recommends you get a good 228 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,400 stretch in the morning, you know, to to remain, to remain in 229 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,200 good health, you know, and stuff like that. 230 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,280 So the memes are just hilarious. That's the first thing I'll say. 231 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,640 The second thing is, you know, regarding this as the iPhone 232 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,680 moment, 100%. I mean, this is what got me so 233 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,960 excited talking about this over the last couple weeks. 234 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,880 But this is what you guys need to know. 235 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,440 Fundamentally, Sailor is betting. 236 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,080 It's a bet, fundamentally, that the Bitcoin price will 237 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:32,080 appreciate 20 to 30% over the next 15 to 20 years per per 238 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,680 year. For the next 15 to 20 years. 239 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,040 So there's ebbs and flows. He's he's taking out the 240 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,840 volatility for you. He's. 241 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,480 Guaranteeing you 11% interest if you're, if you're sorry, a 242 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,680 dividend, but it amounts to around 11% return on a yearly 243 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,880 basis. That completely blows any other 244 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,880 fixed income product out of the water. 245 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,200 But I I I read this post from Forrest Hoddle this morning and 246 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,280 he's absolutely right to point this out. 247 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,280 This only works if number goes up, right? 248 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,560 That's what it boils down to. Because if Bitcoin does not 249 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,400 appreciate faster than 11%, this product doesn't make sense. 250 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,720 If Bitcoin does appreciate faster than 11%, let's say it 251 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,880 appreciates out of 20% CAGAR for the next 15 to 20 years or it 252 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,240 appreciates out of 30% CAGAR for the next 15 to 20 years, then 253 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,800 this stretch product, not only is it viable, it's an iPhone 254 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,440 moment because the whole fixed income market, the longer this 255 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,600 stretch product exist, the more confidence it's going to have in 256 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,560 the product and the more people are going to see it as the more 257 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,360 people are going to see it as less risky, right? 258 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,800 So essentially it becomes this crazy flywheel, right, that 259 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,760 we're going to see. And this flywheel is 260 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,520 essentially, you know, they're using the proceeds from this 261 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,960 product to buy more Bitcoin. And as Opti pointed out, they're 262 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,560 buying on a daily basis just this product alone, more of the 263 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,760 Bitcoin supply than is being mined on a daily basis. 264 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,280 So I think what Sailor is aiming for and what Opti was saying in 265 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,600 the beginning of the show is that eventually there might be 266 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,520 some type of supply shock, which again sends to new highs. 267 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,120 If Bitcoin goes to new highs, then this stretch product can 268 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,760 continue, no pun intended, can continue being stretched into 269 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,240 the future. Right now, what is the long 270 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,880 term, let's say 50 year viability of this of of this 271 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,280 product? I don't know. 272 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,280 Let's get through the next five years. 273 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:06,000 But fundamentally, if Sailor is able to deliver that 11% return 274 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,200 for the next five years and it being fueled by the best asset 275 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,640 the world has ever seen, which is Bitcoin, it's going to be a 276 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,800 complete game changer for financial markets. 277 00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:24,760 And strategy is going to be one of the most successful companies 278 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,760 on planet earth. And copy and Opti did mention 279 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,360 copycats earlier. I mean, we did see that with the 280 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,680 Bitcoin treasury companies early on. 281 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,800 But once again, strategy has this first mover advantage, 282 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,400 right? I wouldn't, I wouldn't even look 283 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600 at any of the of of the copycats. 284 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,520 The other copycats are gonna have to offer higher interest on 285 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,920 top of the 11. We know how that game wins. 286 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,720 Exactly. So they're gonna have to offer 287 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,720 higher interest. For people to be attracted to 288 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,160 them, but with higher interest comes more risk, right? 289 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,200 And that's a that's a big bet, ladies and gentlemen, and I'll 290 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,440 be honest with you, I think 11 percent is conservative. 291 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,280 I think 15% Kaggar is conservative. 292 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:16,440 I think we get a minimum of. 20 to 25 to 3030% Kaggar moving 293 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,040 forward, I think if we don't get that. 294 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:24,680 You know, I, I, I would say that Bitcoin failed in in a lot of 295 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,760 ways, right? Because again, you know the 296 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,200 whole thesis, there's been so many books written about this, 297 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,600 there's been so many articles written about how great of an 298 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,560 asset Bitcoin is the. Bullish case for Bitcoin, the 299 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,680 Bitcoin standard by Seifidine. You know, Larry mentioned it on 300 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,160 on in the big print Lynn Leopard like nothing stops this train 301 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,680 and the the theories behind, you know, all these books and you 302 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,600 know, all these theories is basically like, look, if they're 303 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,400 going to print more money, look at the situation in the Middle 304 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,560 East, right? They're going to debase the 305 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520 currency. If they debase the currency, 306 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,880 it's Infinity divided by 21 million gold. 307 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,240 Even though it's scarce, ultimately it's not absolutely 308 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,280 scarce like Bitcoin is, right? So that's really the question 309 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,480 right now. Is Bitcoin going to be that 11% 310 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,520 return that micro strategy is offering with their stretch 311 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,960 product? If you strategy, they're 312 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,280 renamed, If you believe Bitcoin is, I believe Bitcoin is, then 313 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:37,840 this is a, this is a, this is such a monumental moment for the 314 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,200 traditional markets because the fixed, the fixed income market 315 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:46,720 is massive. It's huge and most people in the 316 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,760 fixed income market are getting like let's say you get a high 317 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:56,920 yield savings account like from Amex or you know, from the other 318 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,520 banks that offer it, they're offering, you know, like 3 and a 319 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,760 half, 3.8%. Let's say you you're buying 320 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,680 bonds, right? It's in the four and a half 321 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,080 region. Let's say you're investing in 322 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,120 real estate. Right. 323 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,480 You know, on a, on a very, very good year, you're getting 324 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520 between 8 to 12%. But you have to deal with 325 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,440 tenants, you have to deal with maintenance, you have to deal 326 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840 with taxes. This is why this stretch product 327 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,480 is such a game changer because you're getting 11% yields. 328 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,920 It's tax deferred. As Opti mentioned, you don't 329 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,160 have to deal with tenants, you don't have to deal with 330 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,320 maintenance, and you're getting that type of return like in the 331 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,520 stock market. Just to kind of give you guys 332 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,800 A-frame of reference, and I'm sure of a lot of you guys know 333 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,200 this. If you come from the traditional 334 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,240 markets, a 10% return is fantastic. 335 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,280 If you get a 10% return on your portfolio on a yearly basis, I 336 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,240 know we've been spoiled here in Bitcoin land, you know that is 337 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,600 the best, that is a a fantastic return for the year. 338 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,720 So the fact that a fixed income product is basically offering 339 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,840 that is an ultimate game changer. 340 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,400 But the big question on everybody's mind and we don't 341 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520 know the answer to this question yet. 342 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,560 We have no idea what is how this is going to end up the big 343 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,480 question. Is and our business depends on 344 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,720 this, the entire Bitcoin industry depends on number go up 345 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,560 technology is. Is Bitcoin going to reach that 346 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,680 20 to 25 to 30% kagar over the next 10 to 15 years? 347 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,000 That is the big question. If Bitcoin does stretch, the 348 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,040 stretch product is going to be a game changer. 349 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,800 It's going to be fueled by Bitcoin and strategies. 350 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,720 Strategy is going to work. If it doesn't, then this product 351 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,320 is is going to fail. But not only is this product 352 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,400 going to fail, I would say the entire Bitcoin industry doesn't 353 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,040 look as attractive to investors anymore. 354 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:08,120 Like if Bitcoin can't outperform the S&P 500, you know, again, 355 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,120 not from us ideologues that are believing in self custody and 356 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,240 and you know, look at Bitcoin from a sovereign sovereignty 357 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,400 perspective, from a a revolutionary perspective, but 358 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,760 from traditional investors. So, you know, if you're someone 359 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720 that has a four O 1K, if you're someone that's interested in for 360 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,480 a a fixed income to kind of maintain your lifestyle, 361 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,880 etcetera, etcetera, you're not you're not going to look at you, 362 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,840 you're going to look at Bitcoin. You're like, yeah, that's 363 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,520 interesting. But like, why am I going to take 364 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,240 that perceived risk that they associate Bitcoin with if they 365 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,560 can get a much safer return, for example, with AUS treasury, 366 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,960 right or with a high yield savings account? 367 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520 Why, why would they take that additional risk on? 368 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600 Because at the end of the day, that's what you're doing when 369 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,240 you are buying the stretch product. 370 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,600 Now it is working for the time being. 371 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,360 But let's see, I I think the next three to four years are 372 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:06,360 going to be incredibly exciting. I'll tell you guys what I 373 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,040 personally believe. Of course, this is not trading 374 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,000 advice. This is not financial advice. 375 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,800 I think the, the year after the, the, the year after the blow off 376 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,960 top, it usually tends to be a little bit of a bearish year. 377 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,480 So we're in that year to right now, which is 2026. 378 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,160 But what I'm really looking forward to is the end of 379 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,600 20262027 and then 2028. Historically, the halving cycles 380 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,160 have not broken yet. As much as everyone kept yelling 381 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,480 from the rooftop, this time is different. 382 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080 This time was in fact not different. 383 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,520 So because the the halving cycle theory is still in play, that 384 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:51,640 means that 2027 should be a fantastic year for Bitcoin, 2028 385 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,200 should be an incredible year for Bitcoin, and 2029 should be an 386 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,840 amazing year for Bitcoin as well. 387 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,280 Now, if you put all of what I just said together with the fact 388 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,840 that now traditional Wall Street has the mechanisms and the 389 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,120 vehicles to get exposure to Bitcoin and there's different 390 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:14,520 products to tap into, different pools of capital. 391 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,120 This next bull market is going to be it's going to put this 392 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:24,280 last one to shame in terms of institutional adoption and 393 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,280 institutional involvement in Bitcoin. 394 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,640 And that is what could potentially bring Bitcoin to 395 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,840 those new price tiers, right? Because Bitcoin is such a huge 396 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,400 asset right now. It's a multi trillion dollar 397 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,840 asset. So for you to really move the 398 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,840 price, you really need a lot of capital going into the asset 399 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,600 that and this is where the big banks, this is where Wall Street 400 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,960 kind of comes into play. And I get, I know I understand a 401 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,000 lot of you guys that get that icky feeling when you hear Wall 402 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,760 Street and big banks. But ultimately, ladies and 403 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,880 gentlemen like that is what is going to push Bitcoin to the new 404 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,280 price points, right? And I think that's part of the 405 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:11,160 motivation as to why, you know, some of the, some of the Ogs 406 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,160 felt like exiting last cycle. I think the reason that we 407 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,240 didn't have this euphoric phase is a lot of people that were 408 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,760 holding for 10-15 years, you know, they bought Bitcoin under 409 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,240 $100 in the $100 region or, or the below $1000 region. 410 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,240 You know, they're like, listen, I've made an incredible return. 411 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,280 This is life changing money for me. 412 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,840 I'm going to start going and living my life a little bit. 413 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Doesn't mean that they've sold all their Bitcoin, but their 414 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,720 priorities have changed, right? Perhaps they got into Bitcoin in 415 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,600 their mid 20s at the time in their 30s. 416 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,040 If you got into Bitcoin in your early 30s and you've been 417 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,720 holding for 15 years, you're now 45 years old, right? 418 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,640 Your priorities are a little bit different. 419 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,480 Perhaps that militant attitude in that militant worldview that 420 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,200 you had when you when you were younger changed a little bit, 421 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,680 right? So a lot of things happen over a 422 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,320 15 year time scale. Like for me, looking back, holy 423 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,680 crap, it's been 10 years, right? It's been 10 years. 424 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,280 I can't even imagine what another five years in this 425 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,160 industry would be like. Like exactly. 426 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,600 That's what I'm trying to talk about. 427 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,800 So I I kind of empathize a lot with a lot of these O GS that 428 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,480 were like, look, man, like it, it's it's time to ride into the 429 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,960 sunset a little bit, right. So anyways, back to the stretch. 430 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:27,520 Yeah. And then? 431 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,760 Pass it back to Opti and I'll get off my soapbox. 432 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,520 I promise is dude, this is an absolute game changer. 433 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:40,960 But big butt it does require for the Bitcoin price to appreciate 434 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:48,240 at at least a 15 to 20% kagar if it doesn't appreciate at that at 435 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,240 that rate, then this stretch product is not going to work. 436 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,160 It doesn't mean that they're not going to be able to pay out the 437 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,000 dividends for the foreseeable future. 438 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,680 Strategy has a huge cash position. 439 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,920 They will be able to to to service those those dividend 440 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,120 payments. But that stretch product is 441 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:12,640 based on Sailor's thesis, which he gave this presentation at 442 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,120 Bitcoin 2025. He basically believes that by 443 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,400 2045, he thinks that minimum the price of Bitcoin is going to be 444 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,960 $13 million per coin. This stretch product is based on 445 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,640 that theory. Now, Sailor has had a very, very 446 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,480 good track record at predicting paradigm shifts and at 447 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,880 predicting innovations, right? He wrote the book The Mobile 448 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,320 Wave, where he predicted that the iPhone was going to 449 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,520 fundamentally change the world because it was going to put a 450 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,200 computer in everybody's hands. And he got that 100% right. 451 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,400 So I mean Opti, I just, I don't see how you know. 452 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,920 I don't see how you know the he. I'm on Sailor's. 453 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120 Side in terms of what his his his theory. 454 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:05,640 Is anyways, I'm going to pass it on to you. 455 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,600 We also have a very special guest joining us. 456 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,240 We're going to be bringing him on on the show in a little bit. 457 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,320 Steve has joined.

So aside from executive 537 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,640 protection for many people that are well known people, we 538 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,600 provide certain mission critical stuff like heading out what we 539 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,760 went to Syria as far as in Haddad and Sweda where they 540 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,960 slaughtered 2000 Druze and Christians, right, which barely 541 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,680 made any news station just didn't fit the narrative. 542 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,000 We've done missions in Nigeria, in Sudan. 543 00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,440 We were the ones that were instrumental, instructing a 544 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,360 bunch of Americans and VI PS out of Puerto Vallarta. 545 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680 Within minutes of that happening, we had armored 546 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,640 vehicles pulling people out of Puerto Vallarta, getting them in 547 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,120 the Kornavaca at an FBO there and then flying them from that 548 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,440 FBO to Tijuana using our Mexican assets that we use during 549 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,080 Hurricane Otis with SRP on the search and rescue side of it. 550 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,880 So we operate in over 70 countries. 551 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360 But when it comes to protection, right, people go, I got a 552 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,560 firearm. How well are you trained? 553 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,760 That's like going to Guitar Center and buying a guitar 554 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,640 doesn't make you a musician, right? 555 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,160 Going through the training, being the protector of your 556 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,680 household. And my business partner, which I 557 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,680 owe a lot of credit to, is Byron Rodgers, right? 558 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,400 Always preaching executive protection, always talking about 559 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,880 being the man of peace, the protector of your family. 560 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,080 But we do grid down courses completely where you're building 561 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,360 a shelter, you're forging for food, you're processing an 562 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,200 animal, you're doing force on force, you're doing security 563 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,560 perimeters, and you're completely off the grid. 564 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,320 So when people talk about being off the grid, and if you haven't 565 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,080 done it, I highly, highly recommend it to your listeners 566 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,560 because it'll change your mind, it'll change your life, and 567 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,600 it'll raise your confidence level of going. 568 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:17,679 You know what? I could actually do this if the 569 00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:22,639 grid went down and I had to operate solo, I know how I could 570 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,440 hunt for food, how I could forge for food, how I could ambush 571 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,280 another camp, Right? I'm just telling you because 572 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,040 it's a fit of the survival, right? 573 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,800 Survivalist. Yeah. 574 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,239 There's a lot, lot, lot of benefit in in our training. 575 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,880 What makes the the guys that come out of the SF, the Special 576 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,679 Forces and then how we train them, how to operate in the 577 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,040 urban interface. So yeah. 578 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,760 That that's, that's fantastic. And again, the, it's so, you 579 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,360 know, part of, of, of, of Bitcoin culture, Steve, where 580 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,480 this aspect of sovereignty, right? 581 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,280 This, this aspect of reclaiming back your financial sovereignty. 582 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,680 And I think, you know, like home defense really plays. 583 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:05,280 A. A key. 584 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,200 Role in that, but when it comes home defense training is 585 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,320 everything right? This is not you know, you're not 586 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,720 playing with toys. These are the ultimately these 587 00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:17,080 are firearms. You you need to be trained to to 588 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,280 to to to use them. And there's also legal 589 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,840 implications that I think are, are are, you know, people have 590 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,000 to be aware of, right? Depending on the state, there's 591 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,880 different laws, right, that apply to you. 592 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,560 But thankfully in Florida, we have stand your ground, right? 593 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,800 But different states have different laws for all of this. 594 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,400 But this, this plays a key role in my opinion. 595 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,360 And again, reclaiming your sovereignty as an individual. 596 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,960 And part of that is knowing how to how to defend yourself and 597 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,200 most importantly, how to defend your loved ones and your family, 598 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,560 right. So I, I really love what you 599 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,440 guys offer in terms of not only the security services for high 600 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,440 net worth individual bitcoiners that are looking into that over 601 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,120 the next, you know, 10-15 years, I believe, you know, if we are 602 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,760 about right about the Bitcoin price appreciation, you know, 603 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:16,240 Steve, the 2020 to 40% of the ultra high net worth individual 604 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,800 a class are going to be bitcoiners and they are going to 605 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,640 require some type of security. But fundamentally, I think also 606 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,480 it comes down to the individual as well, right? 607 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,480 So learning how to properly use a firearm is incredibly 608 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:36,560 important from a safety perspective and in both ways, 609 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,280 how to handle a firearm properly and how to defend yourself if 610 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,840 worst comes to worst. So that's really interesting. 611 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,120 Could you talk a little bit more about the training program? 612 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,880 Because what I, what I've been seeing in your website is that 613 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,680 it's really, really all-encompassing in terms of 614 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,760 what you guys offer in the training. 615 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,280 So I'm just going to read some of this. 616 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,360 I can't really say this on YouTube, but let's just say a 617 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,360 close quarter battle type of situation, a a, a simulator lab, 618 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,000 the off site training, training that emulates real conditions 619 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,440 for the end user to navigate and emerge better. 620 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,080 A realistic training environment where you can become an 621 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,320 efficient shooter and communicator control the 622 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,040 environment as you navigate real world scenarios on a reality 623 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,040 base simulator. So it really, really is 624 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,200 all-encompassing. And Steve, before you answer 625 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,480 that question. I really want to know what is 626 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,960 your. Background like how did you 627 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,360 start? Like what? 628 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,800 Made you involved in this company? 629 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,120 So if you, if you look at there's two companies, if you go 630 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:46,520 to srp24.com, that's strategic response partners in 89, I was 631 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,360 that kid that was fascinated with, you know, worldwide 632 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,720 disasters, right? People going down a river in a 633 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:57,040 makeshift mattress boat trying to carrying their personal 634 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,320 belongings. I had a bunch of my friends that 635 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,560 were in the fight that went into the fire service and I'm like, 636 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,440 well, what'd you do? We went and kicked the door and 637 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,640 put some water, you know, put the wet stuff on the red stuff 638 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,480 and then you left, right? So my stuff was disaster 639 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,160 response, crisis response. And then just putting together a 640 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,240 very comprehensive team of just the best operators. 641 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,720 And it's not just someone who's trained, man. 642 00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:24,080 They have to be first and foremost in all things 643 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,360 spiritually grounded. Because that spirit, if you're 644 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,080 not tuned in there, you're not knowing when to zig or when to 645 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,040 zag, right? And I've really kind of just put 646 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,800 the elite team together. So that's why we represent some 647 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,480 of the most well known people as not just their private security, 648 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,320 right? And they're all in, they're all 649 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,600 around Bitcoin, a big that's just part of their world. 650 00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:50,520 We also provide private fire. So in the LA fires, we saved a 651 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,920 bunch of their homes made, made it on multiple news stations 652 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,760 because they're who are these guys that that that stayed 653 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,120 behind with their fire pumps drafting from pools, protecting 654 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480 all these homes for these rich and famous people. 655 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,280 And we've been doing that for years. 656 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,120 But when it comes to disaster preparedness and crisis, they 657 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,560 kind of go together. But they're 2 stand alone 658 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,480 companies. So when it comes to, I get the, 659 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,160 the, the beautiful thing of going into hurricanes couple 660 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,680 days earlier, setting up and preparing the critical 661 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,920 infrastructure, bring in the fuel, the temp power, the shrink 662 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,960 wrap crews, environmental structural engineers to be able 663 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,360 to make sure that that hospital, that logistics center, that they 664 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,920 stay online, right? But my guys are trained to be in 665 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,400 that area knowing there's no communication, there's no power, 666 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,800 there's no food, there's no water. 667 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,040 So we bring a city within a city, and the level of 668 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,880 preparedness that we have is keep it lean, keep it nimble, 669 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,240 and be able to have your grab and go kits. 670 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640 All our stuff's in Pelican airs, right? 671 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,080 And we have different gear that is deployable for hurricanes, 672 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,480 tornado chases on the medical side of it, or if we're going 673 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,280 into a wildfire. So they're all very specific. 674 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,680 If we're going into civil unrest, what does that look 675 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,760 like? Civil unrest? 676 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,800 Call it a riot, right? Or if there's a drone strike, 677 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,400 for example, in California, you know, so there's a lot of talk 678 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,880 about a lot of things, but having the the wherewithal, the 679 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,480 Intel and the right partners, that makes all the difference. 680 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,320 And so for us, for example, we've gotten calls from 681 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,360 Nazareth, from Israel, right? We got calls where we evacuate 682 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,520 people out of Dubai into Oman to get them out of that area. 683 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,200 But we're working closely with the State Department because 684 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,480 unless you're in communication with what's going on at the 685 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,840 ground and you're moving people, you become part of the 686 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,640 casualties, not knowing that they're dropping bombs in an 687 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:45,840 area. Now you're trying to push people 688 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680 through there and you're not in direct communication to 689 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,800 effectively and properly move people out of these areas. 690 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,880 So bottom line, honestly, I'm a solutions guy, 35 years, 14,000 691 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:04,000 plus numbered projects. And I just I, I TuneIn to see 692 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,600 where I can serve, how I can serve. 693 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,760 And if any of your listeners are like, hey, you know, I'm 694 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,360 interested in what your disaster personal disaster plan or your 695 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:17,120 grab and go supplies or they can e-mail me and I'm happy to share 696 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,640 with them. There's no promo stuff in there. 697 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,160 You know, it's just, there's no promo codes. 698 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,960 It's just I, I tell them basically what I know that's 699 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,160 very effective and what works. And then they can pick up the 700 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,640 stuff on Amazon or, you know, pick up the stuff where they 701 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,240 need. But obviously the satellite 702 00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,280 phone store. I mean, those guys, they've been 703 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,840 instrumental because every time we deploy, they've always backed 704 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,520 us up providing, you know, mobile Starlinks, helping us set 705 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,280 up the Starlinks at all the command Centers for the cities, 706 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,960 for the municipalities, for the fire departments, for the police 707 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,720 departments, even in Jamaica that they were instrumental in 708 00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,560 actually setting up comms in that island when they had no 709 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,280 comms. So the mayor of Montego Bay, MO 710 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,920 Bay, the fire department there, the, the Police Department, 711 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,160 Samuel, the guy, the Chief Police officer, we put their 712 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,160 mobile Starlinks in their vehicles on the roof and she 713 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:14,240 donated over 50,000 and just the hardware, you know, so I've 714 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,720 always been a big promoter of those that promote and support 715 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:20,040 us to support them. But they've done an incredible 716 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,640 job. They have, they have ballistic 717 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,920 backpacks that I have my kids take with them that have the 718 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,480 Kevlar stuff in it. But yeah, yeah, I mean. 719 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,440 The the, the, the synergy here and I'm so glad that you're 720 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,240 you're joining us on on the Friday show, Steve. 721 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:38,200 I love the Friday shows, this Friday, Friday show specials 722 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,560 because you know our audience, our core audience, Steve. 723 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,240 And I think that the reason there is so much synergy with 724 00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:51,520 our partners at 123 is Bitcoin fundamentally makes you question 725 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,200 the very idea of money. And when you take self custody 726 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,840 of your Bitcoin, essentially what you're really doing is 727 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,880 you're opting out of the traditional financial system. 728 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,720 But with self custody comes tremendous responsibility 729 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,840 because you're not relying on a third party custodian, which 730 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,320 means you are responsible for the asset that you're holding. 731 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,600 And security plays a role in that, right? 732 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,880 Obviously, you know, as bitcoiners, there's different 733 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,800 levels to it, but I think the longer you remain in the 734 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,360 industry, Steve, the more you understand and value 735 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,080 sovereignty, the more you understand and value freedom 736 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,320 tech. Like, for example, me and me and 737 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,320 my partners were messing around with Jack Dorsey's app 738 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,560 yesterday, the Bit Chat, which is essentially this 739 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,800 communications app where you can talk locally via a Bluetooth 740 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,640 mesh net and it doesn't require a traditional cellular to to 741 00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:52,960 interact with each other. And it was so easy to use, 742 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,200 right? So I really believe that your 743 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,400 company, you know, plays a role in this where Bitcoiners could 744 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,400 start really asking the hard questions, right? 745 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,720 Because this isn't just about reclaiming sovereignty over your 746 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:07,680 money. This is about reclaiming 747 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,240 sovereignty over yourself and depending on where you, you 748 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:14,760 know, fit on the economic spectrum, as you know, we had in 749 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,440 this in the next 5 to 10 years, you know, you got to really ask 750 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,560 yourself outlook. I'm, I'm just speaking, you 751 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,160 know, generically, right? Look like I'm, I'm taking self 752 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,960 custody of my Bitcoin. Am I really thinking about my 753 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,080 security situation? Am I really thinking about what 754 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,720 happens, you know, with, with a potential $5 wrench attack? 755 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,440 Am I prepared for that type of situation? 756 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,120 Or if you can afford it, you know, you start thinking about 757 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,000 it. Look like, let me start looking 758 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,360 into security. I mean, look at the political 759 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,640 violence that has happened over the last two years. 760 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,040 I mean, it, it, it in the United States out of all places, right? 761 00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:58,320 President Trump, you know, 2, you know, attempts on his life. 762 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,000 And then, of course, you know, the late Charlie Kirk, what 763 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,920 happened was horrible. So, you know, it's better to be 764 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,440 prepared than be put in a situation where you say, listen, 765 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,800 this could never happen here. And you get caught in a 766 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,520 situation where you're unprepared. 767 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,840 You know, for for a lot of, I would say Americans in general, 768 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,200 I think this country, we take a lot of things for granted. 769 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,800 I think the political environment has changed. 770 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,920 So I think a lot of people are asking questions. 771 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,720 But for example, I'm a first generation American. 772 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,080 I originally came from Venezuela, right? 773 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,960 So, you know, a lot of the things that, you know, we take 774 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,080 for granted in this country isn't exactly the norm in the 775 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,200 rest of the world, right? And as a political environment 776 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,000 gets a little bit more heated, you know, these are the types of 777 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,000 of opportunities where you guys want to get yourself prepared, 778 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,040 whether that's with training, whether that's with security, 779 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,720 whether that's reclaiming back your, your, your communication 780 00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:01,000 sovereignty. You know, SAT 123 has so many 781 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,800 products on their store, mobile batteries, Star links, obviously 782 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,640 satellite phones where again, you don't have to rely on a 783 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,320 centralized grid. For you to. 784 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,000 Communicate with your loved ones for you to send a Bitcoin 785 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,040 transaction. You can plug in your Bitcoin 786 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:22,080 node with the with, you know, with the Starlink that's powered 787 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,200 by battery backup and then that's. 788 00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:27,040 And then that Bitcoin node communicate with the block. 789 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,880 Stream. Satellite right like there, 790 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,720 there there's a big rabbit hole here. 791 00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:32,680 So there's a lot of synergy here. 792 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,160 Steve, I want to get your opinion what I I feel like you 793 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,880 know, Bitcoin and your your industry, it goes hand in hand. 794 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,000 What do you what do you think about Bitcoin? 795 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,440 How do you feel about it? I mean, I think it's a 796 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,480 necessity, right? It's a necessity along with just 797 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,600 diversifying, right? You could have also your, your 798 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,320 hard gold coins, your silver, you know, and then having stuff 799 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,840 that you can barter and trade with. 800 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,880 The best thing that I feel that many people can do is create a 801 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,960 community, right? It's like a neighborhood watch. 802 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,200 You're not calling it a militia, you're not calling it anything 803 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,400 but a neighborhood watch or community within your community. 804 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,880 Get to know your neighbors, right? 805 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,920 Who's the welder? Who's the doctor? 806 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,720 Who's the Bitcoin guy, right? Everyone has to have some sort 807 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,000 of level of diversity because you're going to count on each 808 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,960 other in those type of extreme environments. 809 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,000 I mean, if people just go to YouTube and type in strategic 810 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,760 response partners, they'll see the multiple deployments that 811 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:38,480 we've done over all these past years, you know, and I know I 812 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,040 learned the beauty of it is I'm not the guy that that textbooks 813 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,880 on prepping. I'm the one who lives the 814 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,080 prepping and response side of it and creating a community. 815 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,640 It's always people go, man, you know, a lot of people. 816 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,800 I'm like, I make it a point to know a lot of people. 817 00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,480 I'm the guy who's got a guy, right? 818 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,280 And I'm not asking people come train with us wherever you're at 819 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,600 locally, find a group and do a training, find an outdoor range, 820 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,680 do a training. We have the building with our 821 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,880 training to do some of the most incredible simulation, indoor 822 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,200 range, outdoor range, night OPS. We do all types of immersive 823 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,440 site. And of course, there's people 824 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,200 that are high net worth that pay for these specialized training 825 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,720 for like the YPO or groups that, of like that where they'll get a 826 00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,680 group together of their friends. You just bring in a good 827 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,760 trainer, a good instructor and get, get, get the training, get 828 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,040 your, your family prepped and know how you're going to move in 829 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,200 and around a zone if things go down. 830 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,360 Like you mentioned with the Bitcoin, having a Starlink, 831 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,000 having a battery backup, having the solar panels. 832 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,360 And you know what you do? Run a drill, kill your cell 833 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,960 service off, run a drill, put your Starlink up, run the stuff 834 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,240 and see what you what your hiccups are. 835 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,080 That's the biggest problem. People don't drill any of this 836 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,360 stuff. It's like, oh, I'm too busy. 837 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,720 Well, you're going to have a lot of time on your hand when it 838 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:05,520 goes down, fumbling with stuff that you're like, Oh my God, I 839 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,280 really, I missed that connection, that little, that 840 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,200 little filament or that little screw that would have made my 841 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,240 life a lot easier. Handle it now, not when it's in 842 00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:16,040 crisis mode. Then you're the person who's 843 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:20,240 relaxed knowing I'm in position to ride this thing out. 844 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,200 Absolutely. I I I 100% agree. 845 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,440 With you, we have a term, Steve in in the Bitcoin in the Bitcoin 846 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,240 space, which is we call it peer-to-peer circular economies, 847 00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,920 right. So again, you know, no, like 848 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,680 the, there, there's, there's entire examples of this, like 849 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,720 for example, Bitcoin beach in El Salvador and you know, in Costa 850 00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:49,880 Rica as well, where the traditional financial rails just 851 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,880 weren't viable in those areas. So that's where Bitcoin kind of 852 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,520 came in. And it finally allowed a lot of 853 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,840 these individuals in those kind of like isolated communities to 854 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,360 finally not only transact with each other digitally, but now 855 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,480 have the ability to transact with the world as well. 856 00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:14,880 And it, it goes back to OK, yes, know a plumber and you know, 857 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,520 know a doctor know this person and you could pay them directly 858 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,400 peer-to-peer with Bitcoin. And, and it makes you it, it, 859 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,560 it, it puts you in a stronger position. 860 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,240 It makes you more sovereign and it makes you less dependent on, 861 00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:31,560 you know, on, on, on the powers that be, so to speak. 862 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,600 The dependency goes back on yourself, which in my opinion, I 863 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,000 think is a good thing. I think that if more of the 864 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,760 world, you know, trusted in themselves and depended on 865 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,760 themselves, I think a lot of the the issues that we see with big 866 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,120 government today, a lot of that would naturally, you know, 867 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:55,160 dissipate as time goes by. So Steve, it's been an honor to 868 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,240 have you on the show today. I'd love to have you back on 869 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,800 again today. I think that again on the show, 870 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:06,000 I think there's a ton of synergy between what you do at Saber. 871 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,640 And and and and the offerings. That you guys have and the 872 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,560 Bitcoin community as a whole. And I think that this is just 873 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,000 the tip of the iceberg in terms of the of the synergy and in 874 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,360 terms of really people opening up their eyes because there 875 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,480 really is an enormous community out there, Steve, that is, is 876 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,160 looking at what you had to say. And they're highly interested in 877 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,520 it because it's it it goes right up their alley in terms of 878 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,600 wanting them, wanting their them wanting to reclaim back their 879 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,960 sovereignty, not only financially, but as a whole, as 880 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,280 an individual. You know, it's interesting you. 881 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,520 Shared earlier that you're a first. 882 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:48,080 Generation from Venezuela, I'm a first generation from Serbia, so 883 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,480 I know my family, the pain that they went through with 884 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,880 communism. My father spending seven years 885 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,800 in prison for for his Christian faith, right, because he 886 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,760 wouldn't take a gun. You know, it's kind of skips a 887 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,000 generation. But you know, what it always 888 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,760 brings me back is that if I find that those of us who've come 889 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,720 from those countries, Warren torn countries sanctioned you, 890 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,600 you, you know, back then, you don't read the newspaper and you 891 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,160 don't trust the government and you learn how to move 892 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,000 sovereignly. But you take full accountability 893 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,160 of how you operate. And you only operate because you 894 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,680 have community that's trusted.

Anyways. 969 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,720 Guys, tons of clips to react to. I got one by the Economist. 970 00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:37,840 They're, they're, you know, they're, they're scaling it up, 971 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:42,880 the propaganda scaling up again. We played you guys this clip of 972 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,600 again, guys, there's, there's this, I'll just be blunt, 973 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,960 there's there's a, there's a political divide as it comes to 974 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,840 Bitcoin, unfortunately, and there are. 975 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,560 And again, it's not monolithic, but essentially there are people 976 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,480 in the United States and countries all around the world 977 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,320 that want a future of central bank digital currencies. 978 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,920 I would say that's a future of of nihilism, despair, endless 979 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,400 war is a continuation of the Fiat system, but times 10. 980 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,600 And then there is another side. Of the. 981 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:22,560 Political spectrum that wants freedom, right, that wants to be 982 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,640 able to get to decide what money they can use. 983 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:31,800 In my humble opinion, the fact that you know the the you have 984 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,240 to basically you're you're forced to use. 985 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,320 Money that is designed to steal from you via inflation is 986 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:45,000 ludicrous. Like, and that's not how the 987 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,600 country was originally structured, right? 988 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,720 The, you know, the, this Fiat standard is quite new. 989 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,960 It's only been around since 1971. 990 00:57:54,400 --> 00:58:00,080 And you know, before that, right before the Federal Reserve, you 991 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,640 know, which was established in 1913, you didn't have a central 992 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,400 bank in the United States. In fact, a lot of the original 993 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,640 founding fathers warned about what would happen if a central 994 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,880 bank was established. And a lot of their predictions 995 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,120 were became eerily accurate, right? 996 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:23,000 So, you know, we have two opposing world views that are 997 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:28,000 happening right now and the media outlets that that support 998 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:33,200 the world view of more centralization, more, you know, 999 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,040 the continuation of Fiat, the continuation of the central 1000 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,760 banking system. Because ultimately, guys, you 1001 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,120 have to understand, right? And I know that that like 1002 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,560 politicians kind of played this dance where they're like, look 1003 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,880 like, you know, Bitcoin isn't money. 1004 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,560 It's actually a commodity. It's okay if it's a commodity, 1005 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,960 but it's not okay if it's money. And the reason that they have to 1006 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:58,840 take that stance is because Bitcoin in its very nature, the 1007 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:03,040 reason the IMF freaked out the way they did when El Salvador 1008 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,680 made Bitcoin legal tender, and the reason the IMF put so much 1009 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,520 pressure on El Salvador for El Salvador to reverse the Bitcoin 1010 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:17,520 as legal tender is the central bankers can't have it. 1011 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,680 For Bitcoin to be seen as a money. 1012 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,680 To for Bitcoin to be treated and equal to Fiat. 1013 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:33,000 And the reason they can't have Bitcoin seen in that light is it 1014 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,520 calls their whole system into question. 1015 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:44,720 Bitcoin proves that money can exist without losing purchasing 1016 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:49,080 power. Bitcoin proves that money can 1017 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:54,440 exist without a central bank. Bitcoin proves that money can 1018 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:59,440 exist without a custodian. Bitcoin proves that money can 1019 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,200 exist without a middleman. And all of the things that I 1020 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:08,320 just laid out for you have enormous implications for the 1021 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,960 current power structures of the world. 1022 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,280 So the reason I'm laying all of this out is I know we started 1023 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,320 with kind of like the trad FI conversation in the beginning 1024 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,240 because that relates to number go up. 1025 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,200 But remember why we are all here. 1026 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,880 We were all here. We originally came to Bitcoin 1027 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,240 because it gave us hope. It gave us hope for change. 1028 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,400 It gave us hope for a better future. 1029 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:40,960 And that better future comes with ending the Federal Reserve. 1030 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,920 And I think that what we learned as Bitcoiners when we finally 1031 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:49,200 threw our hat in the political ring is we finally learned with 1032 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,040 the election of President Trump, which I appreciate. 1033 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,760 What he did for Venezuela is amazing. 1034 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,680 What he did for the Bitcoin community has been great, the 1035 01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,600 fact that he freed Ross Ulbricht. 1036 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,560 But what we learned with Trump, I believe, is that I don't think 1037 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,280 you can change the system within the system. 1038 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,880 I think the only way for things to actually change and I tweeted 1039 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,600 this out like a week ago or so. Is that the most important? 1040 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:25,080 Vote you can make this midterm year is not voting for party 1041 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,520 blue or party red. The most important vote you can 1042 01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,520 make is reclaiming back your sovereignty. 1043 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,040 The number one thing you should do is reclaiming back your 1044 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,880 financial sovereignty and you do that by buying Bitcoin, earning 1045 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,880 Bitcoin, and putting that Bitcoin into self custody. 1046 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,880 That is the most important thing you could do as an individual 1047 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,040 and the most important thing that you could do for you and 1048 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:55,120 your family because that way you opt out of politics entirely. 1049 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:56,360 Now that's not. To say that. 1050 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,560 Politics aren't important, right? 1051 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,080 You obviously do want, you know, elected officials in office 1052 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,280 that, you know, represent your your desires, But I think the 1053 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,640 system is so well entrenched that it's going to be very 1054 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:15,080 difficult for us to change that said system internally. 1055 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,600 I think the only way for that system to change is if, if if 1056 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:24,520 enough of the population start to opt out of the system 1057 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,080 entirely. And the way that you do that is 1058 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:30,720 again, buying Bitcoin, earning Bitcoin, mining Bitcoin and 1059 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,520 putting that Bitcoin into self custody. 1060 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,680 I think that's really the only way to do it. 1061 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,360 So all of that. Being said, I do. 1062 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:47,120 Want to show you guys this video from The Economist because 1063 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,320 again, you know, we've been covering the economist for so 1064 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,760 long. I, I love, you know, one of the, 1065 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,120 the, one of my favorite things from the people that critique 1066 01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,480 Bitcoin is that they always opti, I'm sure you've noticed 1067 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,800 this. They always end up calling 1068 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,400 themselves economist. So it's basically the line goes 1069 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,600 something like this. Bitcoin is not money. 1070 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,320 Trust me. I studied economics, right? 1071 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,640 Like that's the line, right? And it's like, dude, if you 1072 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,320 studied economics, I don't know what type of economics you 1073 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:26,040 studied, but you don't get to determine what is money. 1074 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,760 The free market determines what is money. 1075 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,240 Not you. Not you with your credentials, 1076 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,040 not you the politician, not you the central banker. 1077 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:42,000 Ultimately, the free market is going to get to decide what is 1078 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:47,360 money and what is not money. That is a big culture shock. 1079 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,880 That is a huge shock to the powers that be in the power 1080 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,800 structures because governments get a tremendous. 1081 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,680 Amount of. Power from being able to create 1082 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,920 money for free that everyone else has to work for. 1083 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,480 So you guys have to understand where we are in the movie 1084 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,200 Connect the dots. We started the episode with all 1085 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,000 right, guys, number go up stretch is fantastic. 1086 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,520 We'll we're infiltrating the traditional financial system. 1087 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,000 This is great. You know, we did the middle of 1088 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,240 the show. We brought Steve from Sabre team 1089 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:23,080 to talk to you guys about, you know, reclaiming back your your 1090 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,480 you know, your your individual sovereignty and meat space. 1091 01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,200 And now we're ending the show with. 1092 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:32,800 Keeping you guys. Informed with what the enemies 1093 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,400 of Bitcoin are saying, what their propaganda is saying, it's 1094 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,920 extremely important to stay on top of all of this so that you 1095 01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,200 are informed. After all, this is a midterm 1096 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,920 year and whether you like it or not, there's only two parties in 1097 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:55,400 the United States. One party which again not a big 1098 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,680 fan of with this the the the Trump videos. 1099 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,280 Coming out of his account, the. Wild there's like that We the 1100 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,960 the the we sports video and then he's showing like all the 1101 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,440 bombings that are happening in Iran. 1102 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,640 Not a big fan of that a big fan of what happened in Venezuela. 1103 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:15,120 So again, it's not perfect right, but ultimately how it 1104 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:20,000 stands right now is that the Republican Party has a pro 1105 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,560 Bitcoin anti CBDC stance. The Democrat party, which will 1106 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:29,800 more than likely win the midterms, has a anti crypto anti 1107 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,800 Bitcoin stance and pro CBDC stance. 1108 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:40,200 That's how things stand right. So I am not an ideological 1109 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,840 voter. I am a single issue voter. 1110 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:47,920 My, my, my vote is, hey, listen, I'm going to vote for the party. 1111 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:53,120 And that, you know, at least isn't going to, you know, come 1112 01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:58,160 after me or try to censor me because I'm advocating for 1113 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,800 freedom tech and freedom money, right? 1114 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,120 Anyhow, so I do want to show you guys this. 1115 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,360 The economist clearly stands on the side of central bank digital 1116 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,040 currencies. It clearly stands on the side 1117 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,920 of, you know, the government should control money. 1118 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,200 So I want to show you guys this, you know, one of the latest the 1119 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,400 hit pieces that that they that they released. 1120 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:30,120 So the economist is claiming that crypto isn't cool anymore. 1121 01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,920 So let's check out the clip. Crypto is uncool now. 1122 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,760 For an asset class based on vibes, that's a big problem. 1123 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,800 Bitcoin is down about 45% since October. 1124 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,240 The market value of all cryptocurrencies has fallen by 1125 01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,920 almost $2 trillion. But crypto has crashed before. 1126 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,720 So why do its biggest fans see more despondent than ever? 1127 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,640 They're sad. Because they're lonely. 1128 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,320 The last All right, I'm just going to leave it at that. 1129 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,920 So again. This is. 1130 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,520 Just again, ladies and gentlemen, this is this is 1131 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:11,080 propaganda one O 1. They're, you know, they're 1132 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,760 basically saying, you know, Bitcoin is, is is is isn't cool 1133 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,560 anymore. And if you buy Bitcoin or if 1134 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,960 you're into Bitcoin, the reason that you're into Bitcoin, it's 1135 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,560 because you're lonely, right? So their excuses are suffering 1136 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,560 from inflation themselves, their propaganda suffering from 1137 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,560 inflation, they can't even come up with good reasons anymore, 1138 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,760 but they want you to walk nilly, nilly into hey, let's all adopt 1139 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,840 central bank digital currencies because they're fantastic, 1140 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,360 right? So we've seen every single type 1141 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,240 of FUD. Excuse known to man thrown at us 1142 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:52,120 for the last 10 years or so. It's clear to me that Opti at 1143 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,920 least seeing that video. Man are they running out of 1144 01:07:55,920 --> 01:08:01,920 reasons bro to say the least. Yeah, yeah. 1145 01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:04,880 Are you lonely? I'm. 1146 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:10,760 Dude, I'm so lonely. Yo, look, I know Niko's going to 1147 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,040 get. Mad at my response here but dude 1148 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,040 first of all. That last point I mean I. 1149 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,399 Honestly, I kind of wish we we heard the rest of it. 1150 01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:23,240 I'm not going to lie, I, I kind of, I was having a good laugh at 1151 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:28,319 that. But we're not mad that we're 1152 01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:30,479 lonely here. We're mad that the price is down 1153 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,040 50%. What are we? 1154 01:08:32,359 --> 01:08:34,680 What are we talking? About like yo are, are you 1155 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,840 kidding? Me and and further like look 1156 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:41,200 again, I know we try to be as inclusive and Nico yells at me 1157 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,279 all the time, but if you're listening to this nerd about 1158 01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:46,359 what is cool, like bro, you got a bigger problem. 1159 01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:49,840 OK, Like this guy is literally the epitome of not cool telling 1160 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,200 us what cool is. It's like OK, but I do I do 1161 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,359 agree with him on a point. Crypto is not cool. 1162 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,200 Crypto, the word crypto is not cool. 1163 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:00,680 All the shit coins are not cool at all. 1164 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,200 People are getting literally destroyed. 1165 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,120 Everyone's hoping for crypto shit coins to go up. 1166 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,439 Like crypto has never been cool. Literally crypto has never been 1167 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,160 cool. Now, obviously I have a bias. 1168 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,359 I, I think Bitcoin is the cool thing. 1169 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:19,080 Like Bitcoin is the fundamental revolutionary technology here. 1170 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,359 And it's not necessarily just about Bitcoin, you know, being 1171 01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:25,040 cool with the tech itself. It's really about what it means 1172 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,319 for humanity, what it means means for the world, what it 1173 01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:30,240 means for us as individuals. Like, to me, that is cool. 1174 01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:32,960 Call me a nerd because I wear glasses too, whatever. 1175 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,760 But to me, the implications of what Bitcoin is going to do, I 1176 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,479 think that's like the coolest thing ever. 1177 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,720 That's why we are so obsessed with it. 1178 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,240 That's why we became obsessed with it in the first place. 1179 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:48,080 Now, it does make a point here, though. 1180 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,600 I, I, I know the Economist made a point. 1181 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:55,600 It's not about economics at all, but you can see that a lot of 1182 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,000 the stuff that we've been talking about recently, and I'm 1183 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,640 particularly me on the show and Nico as well, 'cause we have 1184 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,160 been covering the propaganda against Bitcoin is you can tell 1185 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,120 from where the price currently is, where we currently are in 1186 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,080 the bear market, that the sentiment, the demoralization 1187 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,600 has been working very well. And you can see right now that 1188 01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,120 they're doubling down on this moment, that they're going to 1189 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,440 continue to double down, continue to try to get people 1190 01:10:20,440 --> 01:10:23,160 away from Bitcoin because they know what it means. 1191 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,720 They know, know what it will do. It's their jobs to try to get 1192 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:31,280 people basically still corralled in the traditional vehicles, in 1193 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,680 the traditional system. Because if everyone's out here, 1194 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,680 you know, just doing Bitcoin things completely unplugged, 1195 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,000 then they obviously, one, will lose their business model. 1196 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,320 But two, it will fundamentally change where things are. 1197 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,240 And then they have to update what's going on. 1198 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:47,400 They have to update their models. 1199 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,480 They have to change their worldview. 1200 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,200 And so honestly, I'm I kind of enjoyed that. 1201 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,080 I'm not going to lie. I I totally do agree. 1202 01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,320 Shit, coins aren't cool. I don't listen to that. 1203 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,360 I like, I can't even listen to that guy tell me what cool is to 1204 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:03,760 me.

Like I I got to, I got to buy 1209 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,240 the. The CBI mean. 1210 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,360 He's got a point.
