If you guys are already enjoying 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,280 the show, smash that like button really, really helps with the 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,880 YouTube algos I got. I got some Octi in me today, 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,240 this morning anyways for this afternoon today we're going to 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,920 talk about Michael Saylor saying the quiet part out loud on 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,880 legacy media, basically saying like look, you're you know 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520 billions of dollars in profit, when are you going to sell? 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,000 And Michael Saylor's reached a point in the his rabbit hole 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280 journey. When you come to realize and and 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,959 I get this question all the time, which is Neo, what are you 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,760 going to sell? It's like sell for what? 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,760 What are you going to sell for? And it's like you're going to 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,480 take profit. It's like, OK, so you want me to 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,800 sell something that has absolute scarcity for something that you 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,320 can create an infinite amount of, that bureaucrats in DC can 26 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,680 just print out of thin air. Is that what you want me to 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,560 sell? And then that kind of, like 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,280 gives you a little bit of clarity, but I understand 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,200 because the first year or two, you know, you're getting, you 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,680 just take the orange pill, you're looking in, you're 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,680 looking at those profits. So once again, I'm glad that 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Michael Saylor is moving the Overton window, shattering the 33 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,400 Overton window, getting this message out there, saying this 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120 on legacy media. And he's not only talking the 35 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,040 talk, right? He has the proof of work behind 36 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840 him, right? He has the fact that his 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,920 strategy, the micro strategy, Bitcoin strategy has 38 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680 outperformed everything since they've adopted it. 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600 So it's outperformed the SNP, it's outperformed all the big 40 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,680 tech stocks. And so he has that backing 41 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,440 behind him. I think it's just a matter of 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,320 time before another public company follows in his 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920 footsteps. And in other news as well, you 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,720 know, Tucker's really been blowing up. 45 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,800 You know, he left Fox News and you know he's become an 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200 independent journalist and he's been doing these, you know, 47 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,840 interviews with with public figures. 48 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,160 And yesterday he had or maybe a couple days ago, but he had an 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,920 interview with Glenn Beck from Blaze TV. 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,600 And it's very interesting. He apparently asked for an 51 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,920 interview with an ex Prime Minister of the United Kingdom 52 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,440 and apparently that ex prime, you have to trust him, you know, 53 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,280 for what he's saying. But at the same time, it doesn't 54 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 surprise me. The guy asked him for either 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,840 $1,000,000 in cash, $1,000,000 worth of gold, or $1,000,000 56 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,840 worth of Bitcoin, right. So as much as, like, governments 57 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,680 and nation states demonize this thing, don't pay attention to 58 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,720 what they say. Pay attention to what they do. 59 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,920 Like the fact that they, he asked for Bitcoin is kind of a 60 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,400 big deal, right? So we're going to talk about 61 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,560 that. We're going to unpack all the 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,000 news. It's going to be a great show. 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,640 And we have a very special We have the Big Sean Harris. 64 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,240 How you doing buddy?

At the time of recording, the 186 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:47,480 Bitcoin price is 51,210 SATS per dollar. 1953 block height 187 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:55,920 831,428 blocks to having 8572 having estimate April 19th, 2024 188 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,960 Total Lightning Network capacity 4665 Bitcoin capacity value 238 189 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,440 million U.S. dollars Realized monetary inflation 1.74% The 190 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,680 market capitalization of Bitcoin 1.01 trillion U.S. dollars 191 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Bitcoin versus gold market cap 7.29%. 192 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,480 In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin is just getting started. 193 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,880 So before I show you guys the guys, the video, like I said, 194 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Michael Saylor is breaking the Overton window. 195 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,840 He's going on the legacy media and he's just, he's just 196 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,280 dropping, watching the quiet parts out loud, the the, the 197 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,960 parts, you know, you could never imagined bit corners would be 198 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,920 saying on mainstream television television. 199 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,920 So it's kind of a kind of a big deal. 200 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Anyways, so the reporter apparently asked him, You own 10 201 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:50,520 billion Bitcoin, where $10 billion with the Bitcoin? 202 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,800 When do you sell for profit? And then Michael Saylor replies, 203 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,960 like an absolute legend I'll be buying forever. 204 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,360 Let's check out the full clip. Last I checked, you have just 205 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,560 under 200,000 Bitcoin. You take a look at the new spot 206 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:06,840 Bitcoin ETFs. All told, they own over 700,000. 207 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,640 Of course, a lot of that is the Grayscale Trust, but a lot of 208 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,840 that too. 200,000 or so is from the 9 new ETFs on the market. 209 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,680 With this new competition, is it going to become harder to source 210 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,880 new Bitcoin for MicroStrategy to buy? 211 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,480 Well, I think it's a very virtuous cycle. 212 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,760 The spot ETFs have opened up a gateway for institutional 213 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,840 capital to flow into the Bitcoin ecosystem. 214 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,520 The demand for the spot ETFs, especially the new ones net has 215 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,720 been far in excess of the supply from the miners every day, in 216 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,600 some cases up to 8 to 10 times as much demand as supply every 217 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,120 day. This is this is a rising tide 218 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,080 that's going to lift all boats. MicroStrategy has got a levered 219 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,000 operating strategy for Bitcoin. But if you look at what these 220 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,080 spot ETFs are doing, they're facilitating the digital 221 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,960 transformation of capital. And every day, hundreds of 222 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,880 millions of dollars of capital is flowing from the traditional 223 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,000 analog ecosystem into the digital economy. 224 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,000 And to your point, I mean it actually, Gemini Co founder 225 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Cameron Rinklevoss, he tweeted last week that the demand from 226 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,400 the new Bitcoin ETFs, it's at least 10 times as much as the 227 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600 number of new tokens that are actually being minted by those 228 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,480 miners. So really interesting supply 229 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,160 demand dynamics going on there. But let's talk about your 230 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,200 existing holdings. As I mentioned in the intro, now 231 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,960 worth around $10 billion. You have paper gains of about 232 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,280 70% or so, which a lot of people would like to see that sort of 233 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,080 return at any point, would you sell? 234 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,840 When would it make sense to take profits there? 235 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,680 Well, I've famously said I'm going to be buying the top 236 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,880 forever. Bitcoin is is the exit strategy. 237 00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,000 It is the the strongest asset. So what we see right now is the 238 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,920 Bitcoin has just emerged as a trillion dollar asset class and 239 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,960 it's alongside names like Apple and Google and Microsoft. 240 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,000 But the difference between Bitcoin and the Magnificent 7 is 241 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,640 bitcoins an asset class. It's not a company. 242 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,880 There's not a lot enough room in the capital structure of those 243 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,280 companies to hold 10 trillion or $100 trillion worth of capital. 244 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,080 So bitcoins competing against gold, which is 10X what it is 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,840 right now. It's competing against the S&P 246 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,720 index, it's competing against real estate, $100 trillion plus 247 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,920 asset class as a store of value. So we believe capital is going 248 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,480 to keep flowing from those asset classes into Bitcoin because 249 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,080 Bitcoin is technically superior to those asset classes. 250 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,440 And that that being the case, there's just no reason to sell 251 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,440 the winner to buy the losers. I mean, absolutely bullish. 252 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,160 And yeah, I mean something that was saying. 253 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,720 What did he say at the very end, which is like absolute sauce. 254 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,040 There's no reason to sell the winner for the losers. 255 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,640 Was he referring to Fiat currencies? 256 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,120 There? Was that like a little jab? 257 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,240 If so, it's a jab at everything. It's a jab at everything, right? 258 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480 Just Bitcoin, man. I saw the laser eyes coming out 259 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400 of him and the reporter like, I feel like she gave. 260 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,680 She gave him a layup, 'cause she smiled after she like she always 261 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,480 she like, almost knew. What? 262 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160 He was holding bags. There's. 263 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040 There's some tension on there, but going between Sailor and any 264 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,560 female reporter, that's that's always Did you hear that she 265 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,040 called? She didn't call him Cameron 266 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,480 Winklevoss. She called him Cameron 267 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:40,040 Wrinklevoss. You think that was on purpose? 268 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,920 Yeah, that at the Winklevike you. 269 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,160 Think that was on purpose? No. 270 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,680 I. Don't, actually, I don't think 271 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:45,400 it was. I don't think. 272 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,120 But I, I, I, I do see the tension though. 273 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,520 I do see the tension that that was there, that existed, that 274 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,320 wasn't I I didn't imagine that. Yeah, you know, there's there's 275 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,360 no greater aphrodisiac than Bitcoin, so. 276 00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,080 Anyways, Opti, what's your take? What's your take? 277 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Oh man, love it. Yeah, so as as Taylor was 278 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,560 saying, I I've been saying this for a long time as well. 279 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,920 Like, I can also not imagine a future where I will not buy 280 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,600 Bitcoin. Like, what else are you going to 281 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,000 save in? I'm trying to save in the 282 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,840 hardest money possible. Bitcoin, as far as I can tell 283 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,800 and for the foreseeable future, is the best thing to be holding 284 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,560 until a future where you know other assets can keep up to 285 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Bitcoin. Just saving in the hardest money 286 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,520 in the world is the best bet and the most conservative bet. 287 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,520 So I've been saying for a while, like what are you going to do? 288 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,080 Just sell your Bitcoin for dollars? 289 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,200 Like what? What do you say? 290 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Like, I'm I'm never going to sell my winners for my losers. 291 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,600 And we all know that the dollar paper currencies, IOU like those 292 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,880 are the losers. This is what's going on here. 293 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,560 We are repricing the world in Bitcoin. 294 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,680 The dollar is a bad way to store your value. 295 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640 And I say it all the time. You know, I used to be one of 296 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,520 the just the the average normal person that was very big on 297 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,000 saving dollars under the mattress until I realized that 298 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,160 that is what's wrecking me and that the dollars is what's 299 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,800 keeping me pouring in the rat race. 300 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,240 And so, you know, kudos to the reporter lady because even 301 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,040 though she's like playing her part, she's kind of doing the, 302 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080 you know, the smirk. I'm guessing she probably holds 303 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,760 a little Bitcoin. She's definitely heard Taylor 304 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,360 talk about Bitcoin before. It still amazes me just how many 305 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,760 people miss the mark, how many people still don't fundamentally 306 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,360 understand where the world is going. 307 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,640 And if you're watching this show, you're smart, You 308 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,200 understand where the world's going, You understand Bitcoin is 309 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,120 the best way to store wealth. And you're so ahead of the game, 310 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,480 it's absolutely incredible because look, I I don't really 311 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,880 like using the meme where it's still early, but what's the 312 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,120 global full adoption of Bitcoin? Or even even even on a lesser 313 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,960 term, the amount of people holding Bitcoin is still a 314 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,680 minuscule portion of the global population. 315 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,440 So there's still a long room to run. 316 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,240 I I keep quoting that number of like $900 trillion of total 317 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000 assets in the world. Now we all know Bitcoin isn't 318 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,280 going to, you know, scoop up all that $900 trillion of total 319 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,680 assets in the world. But it take, if it takes just a 320 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,960 portion of that, Bitcoin has to go up. 321 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,480 We all know it's going up forever. 322 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,360 So the world is being repriced in Bitcoin. 323 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,880 And as my boy wine always says, you know, we buy historical 324 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,680 tops. No, we buy tops because of 325 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,080 historical time stamps. So you know, you you're gonna be 326 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,800 telling your kids, like, yeah, I bought Bitcoin at 69 K and 327 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,120 they're gonna be like, man, my grandpa was a legend, You know, 328 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800 my dad was a legend. How did he even do that? 329 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720 He bought it 69 K and then it went down to 15 K and then he 330 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,160 rolled it all the way up to 1,000,000. 331 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Like, what an absolute Chad of a bloodline that I am a part of. 332 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,560 And yet people get terrified when they buy, when they see the 333 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Bitcoin hit 69 K or all time high and then it drops. 334 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,440 And I was even saying this to Niko this morning. 335 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,319 It's like we can see on our viewership from on our audience 336 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,640 and and what happens on YouTube when the price pumps. 337 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,760 People love Bitcoin and then it goes sideways for a little bit. 338 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,040 And like no one likes Bitcoin. And it's like if you liked it 339 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480 when it was pumping, why don't you like it when it's on 340 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,280 discount? It just makes no sense to me. 341 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,800 Like we still have a lot, a lot of work out there. 342 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,400 We still got to educate a lot of people. 343 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,440 We still have to entertain. We'll have a job for a little 344 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,319 bit, Nico. Dude, I mean it's like it's like 345 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,800 the like human psychology. Like you know, like it. 346 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280 It's like you you you like it when number go up. 347 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,640 Wine gets you like it when number go up, right you you kind 348 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,800 of ignore it, you know? And every other wine, Wine says 349 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,000 he's smarter than Michael Sailor. 350 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Cap If you got into Bitcoin before sailor, does that make 351 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,800 you smarter than sailor?

My take is, you know, so many 363 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,200 people just don't understand what Bitcoin is yet because 364 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,040 they're so caught up doing their jobs, right? 365 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,120 You, you have so much that you have to do. 366 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,920 There's all this money that you have to make, You have your 367 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,480 families you have to take care of, and you just don't set the 368 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,240 time apart to sit down and think, when I'm earning this 369 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,920 dollar that I earn or whatever Fiat currency, what is it that 370 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,720 I'm actually earning? Is there some work that's put 371 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,800 behind this money? Why is it fungible with another 372 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,040 thing that they can print in Washington, DC by the Press of a 373 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,120 button? When I have to work, you know, I 374 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:54,640 have to work my butt off every single day for this thing. 375 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,920 And so as people start to go down that rabbit hole, and what 376 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,080 pushes people down that rabbit hole is inflation, because they 377 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,840 realize that they're that they're losing the value of 378 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,080 their money. And when inflation hits hard 379 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560 enough, then people start to realize and they start to go 380 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,360 down that rabbit hole. And so that's all it takes is 381 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,040 we're going to see more inflation because we live in a 382 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,880 world that's full of Fiat currencies. 383 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800 And one by one, each country will see all time highs in 384 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,880 Bitcoin. And we've already seen it's like 385 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,200 20 different fiats out there where Bitcoin's already at its 386 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,240 all time high because of inflation. 387 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,440 And so it's only a matter of time where we'll see that in the 388 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,000 dollar again and and that'll that'll happen that more more 389 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,200 than likely, in my opinion, pretty soon after the having. 390 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,120 So I can't wait to watch it happen. 391 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,000 But it's more than just price. And I think that's what a lot of 392 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,880 people don't get. That's what these reporters 393 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,400 don't get. These economists don't get that 394 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,840 obviously the price is going up, but there's a reason why the 395 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,400 price is going up. And that's because Bitcoin 396 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,120 fundamentally is better money. And you have to figure out what 397 00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:59,600 the characteristics of money are. 398 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,600 And when you figure that out, then it makes all the sense in 399 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,480 the world why the price of Bitcoin keeps going up. 400 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,200 Forever. Wait up, Sean. 401 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,960 You you you just sparked an idea here. 402 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,880 This is a free product Shark Tank idea. 403 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,880 We need some Bitcoin dominoes. Like we need dominoes that are 404 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,040 orange colored Bitcoin branded because the dominoes are falling 405 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,400 in real time and you're watching them fall. 406 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,480 I like that. I like that transition. 407 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,800 Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, let's get to news. 408 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,640 We got a lot to talk about.

So we've been covering this for 438 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,400 quite a bit, many, many months now. 439 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,800 There is this attack, this attack from different elements 440 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,920 of different governments that are extremely hostile towards 441 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,680 Bitcoin. Even in, you know, the United 442 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,320 States where you would say, you know, supposedly this is the 443 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,440 home of the free, you know, whatever the saying is. 444 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,040 Right? But apparently it's not 445 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,240 functioning like that. It's, you know, we had that 446 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,920 infamous tweet coming out of wallet of Satoshi basically 447 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,320 saying that, you know, we're not available in China, North Korea 448 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,360 and the United States. Like, that's a very powerful 449 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,440 statement, you know, And you would think somewhere like the 450 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,480 United States is supposed supposedly the bastion of 451 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,560 freedom and individualism and capitalism, you would think that 452 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,160 it it would be, you know, at the vanguard, the forefront of 453 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920 innovation. But it's very interesting 454 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,480 because maybe it's not. And the reason that it's not is 455 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,360 because, you know, the government of the United States 456 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:07,960 benefits tremendously from having this control over money. 457 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,120 And apparently other wallets are following suit. 458 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,480 This is Exodus IO. Shout out to Carl for tagging me 459 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,640 on Twitter and it says Lightning unavailable in the United 460 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,560 States, Withdraw funds. Our lightning provider is no 461 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,680 longer available in the United States due to regulatory 462 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,440 reasons. Please withdraw your funds from 463 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,120 Lightning, right. And I think this has to do with 464 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:33,080 the FinCEN proposal. This has to do like it is not a 465 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,400 friendly environment to do business. 466 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,880 And I think essentially what they're trying to do is that 467 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,320 they're trying to KYC Bitcoin, like any type of Bitcoin 468 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,680 transaction, right? They want a KYCI. 469 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,880 They want to make it an extension of the existing 470 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,560 system. But The thing is, from an 471 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,320 architectural perspective, you can't do the same thing, right? 472 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Like, how do you stop? You know, let's say I wanted to 473 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,080 send, you know, 100, you know, 100,000 Satoshi's to Big Sean, 474 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,200 right? How do you stop me? 475 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,960 Right. Big Sean sends me his address. 476 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,080 I send it to him. We're not going through a 477 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,240 middleman. You know, I can connect to a 478 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,600 Bitcoin node that's, you know, orbiting the Earth, shout out 479 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,120 block stream, right. You know, you could like, 480 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,560 theoretically broadcast, and this has been proven like a 481 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,800 Bitcoin transaction using radio signals, using ham radio. 482 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,040 So it's like, like it's it's like, I get it right? 483 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,480 Like all that stuff is like exceedingly complicated. 484 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,800 But the point that I'm trying to make is like, how do you stop 485 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,960 this? You don't. 486 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,080 Right. So and then I think the 487 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,000 inevitable conclusion of because you can't stop it is, is that 488 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,400 it's going to change society. Like the fact that governments 489 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,560 can't access the wealth of, you know, a a percentage of the 490 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,480 population that is taking Bitcoin into self custody is 491 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,000 going to kind of and not access, not access it easily, right. 492 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,280 Because their only other option is to like knock down doors and 493 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,080 be like, yo give me your Bitcoin like that's crazy. 494 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Like the reason that they were able to, like, peacefully get 495 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,640 away somewhat peacefully get away with the 6102 order is 496 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,840 because everyone custodied their gold with these banks. 497 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,680 So the government really only had to knock on the door of a 498 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160 handful of banks and say, hey, you know what, that gold is mine 499 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,800 now. They didn't have to go to 500 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,280 individuals and say that gold is mine now, right? 501 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Is it that that would have been a totally different 502 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,440 conversation. Right. 503 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,800 So yeah, I mean, it kind of sucks. 504 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,640 It's not surprising. And then here comes this other 505 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,920 video where they, they finally said the quiet part aloud. 506 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,760 And this is something that we've been speculating on. 507 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,200 This is something that we've been saying was going to happen 508 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,240 because it was incredibly obvious, right. 509 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,960 Which is this idea that that they're going to try to force 510 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,560 Bitcoin miners to censor, specifically to censor, you 511 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,440 know, Bitcoin addresses or whatnot that are, you know, on 512 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,800 the list of the Office of Foreign Asset Control. 513 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,920 They don't want Bitcoin to be used to circumvent sanctions. 514 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,880 And it's like, like, you know, we had Tucker and he had this 515 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,560 very, very monumental kind of interview with with Putin, 516 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,240 whether you agree with the interview or not. 517 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,600 But there was a part of the interview that like, I 518 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,160 completely agree with, which is this idea that the dollar has 519 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,760 been used as a political tool. It's been weaponized. 520 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,080 And the moment that you do that, you create an incentive for 521 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,080 other countries to seek an alternative. 522 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,360 So it's kind of like the Pikachu meme. 523 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,240 Like, you know, it's like U.S. government does something then 524 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,160 that causes something else. And they're like how could that 525 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,640 happen? Like, you know, like what do you 526 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,440 mean people are seeking alternative like that's 527 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,480 ridiculous. Like, you know, and it's like, 528 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,160 yeah, bro, like what do you think was going to happen? 529 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,400 So they're trying to expand this sanction policy to Bitcoin and 530 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,120 we've been covering this for many, many months. 531 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,880 I don't think they'll be successful. 532 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,840 All it takes is 1 miner around the world that's not following 533 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,200 the OFAC to, you know, find a block and then include that in 534 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,360 the block and then what are they going to do? 535 00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:57,360 Are they going to fork it? Right. 536 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,240 A lot of people are speculating that but like it gets kind of 537 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,080 complicated is what I'm trying to say. 538 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,520 Right. So the the the worst they can do 539 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,040 is technically they could slow down transactions or they could 540 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,280 say, OK, you know the OFAC transactions, you can't, you 541 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,680 can't have those. But it's like, yeah, then you 542 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,720 have a Russian mining pool that's like, yeah, I'd love to 543 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,800 include these, like why not? Like, you know, they're paying a 544 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,920 high fee. So the worst I could do is like 545 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480 slow it down and then are are we gonna get into the conversation 546 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,360 where there's gonna be a U.S. government approved fork and a 547 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,240 non-us government approved fork? Like are we gonna head down that 548 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,800 maybe we do, but like what I'm trying to say is it's not easy. 549 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,000 So anyways, let's check out this clip. 550 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,560 So in the D5 report that you mentioned, we highlighted lots 551 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280 of different types of technical features and compliance controls 552 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,280 that can be built in at different layers of the 553 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,280 ecosystem That could focus, for example, at the network layer 554 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,480 where minors exist. A good place to start might be 555 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,120 something like sanctions. OFAC has already stated in their 556 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:54,400 compliance guidance that minors may already have sanction 557 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,960 screening obligations. So a good place to start right 558 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,000 now before imposing new AML obligations on minors or those 559 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,240 who exist at the network layer could be to enforce the existing 560 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,600 obligations when they, when they validate transfers. 561 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,120 Going to sanctioned actors like Lazarus Group, I mean it's just 562 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,720 like it's crazy. This is something that we've 563 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,160 been saying for a while. This is why, you know, the ocean 564 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,600 mining pool Stratum V2 is so important because yes, like this 565 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,680 is a known kind of attack. And again, like, I don't think 566 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,480 they'll be like unless they capture every single mining pool 567 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,800 around the world, I just don't see that happening. 568 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,520 And then of course like go ahead Sean, I. 569 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,040 Was gonna say even if they catch your mining pools, remember when 570 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,480 China banned mining and there were still miners that were 571 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120 mining in China after they banned mining? 572 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,240 Like, it wasn't like it went to 0% hash rate in China. 573 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,920 But there's still gonna be people that are just gonna say 574 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,920 we won't comply. And they're smaller miners. 575 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,320 Obviously they're not the huge miners, but they're smaller and 576 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,640 they will continue to mine and they're not going to comply. 577 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,360 There's going to be people who who stand up and and will stand 578 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,480 up for what they believe in. And we'll just say, like this 579 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,720 rule, and this law is ridiculous, I'm going to keep 580 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,760 doing what I'm doing and it'll be extremely hard for the 581 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,320 government to really find them. Yeah, I I 100% agree with that 582 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,800 and it's really interesting and this is what brings me full 583 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,320 circle. This brings me to this next 584 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,560 clip, which is this idea of, like, you know, don't pay 585 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,520 attention to what I do. What was the. 586 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,840 It's like The thing is saying, like, don't pay attention to 587 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,600 what I say, pay attention to what I do. 588 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400 And here's Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson was the Prime 589 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,680 Minister of the United Kingdom before the new Prime Minister. 590 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,080 And it's very interesting. I'll, I'll, I'll play the clip 591 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,320 and then we'll talk about it. For an interview with Boris 592 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,200 Johnson's, I have many times because he's constantly 593 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,520 denouncing me as a tool of the Kremlin. 594 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,400 He says no. So I'm thinking about saying 595 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,720 getting more annoyed. So I know a lot of people who 596 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,240 know Boris Johnson, so I reach out to them. 597 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,840 Finally, one of his advisors gets back to me and says he will 598 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,360 talk to you, but it's gonna cost you $1,000,000. 599 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,640 He wants $1,000,000 what? In U.S. dollars, Gold or 600 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,400 Bitcoin? No one. 601 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,960 This just happens. So I mean, like that is, you 602 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,640 know, that's sauce, right? Like, why is that sauce? 603 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,080 Because you see kind of the, the demonization, right, the 604 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,280 demonization of Bitcoin, right? Like this thing is bad. 605 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,680 It's skirting. So why is this politician 606 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,440 wanting, you know, gold and Bitcoin? 607 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,720 Like, like, why is that? And then remember the politician 608 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,960 that it was a, it was a Democrat, if I forget from which 609 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,880 state, which was like accusing Naimbu Kelly of corruption And 610 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,480 then they found gold bars in his trunk and they like it. 611 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,520 It became apparent that he himself was corrupt, right. 612 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,640 So why is it that these politicians want gold bars and 613 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,400 Bitcoin? Like, if they were so confident 614 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,680 and they believed in their system so much, why isn't that 615 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760 they're asking for their own Fiat currency? 616 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,080 Like like Boris Johnson's from the UK? 617 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,960 Like why isn't he asking for British pounds? 618 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,640 Why is he asking for gold? Why is he asking for Bitcoin? 619 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,360 Like why, right? It tells you everything you need 620 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040 to know. Like it tells you what they see 621 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,640 as the better money, Like it tells you everything. 622 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,920 And I was basically saying about how this is spreading 623 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,680 everywhere, right. I think that this is a kind of a 624 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,480 long term strategy and it came out earlier this earlier this 625 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,680 week, a couple days ago, February 19th, that Coinbase 626 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,800 commerce merchant payment processing platform no longer 627 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,440 supports Bitcoin. Now I'll give you the reasons as 628 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,800 to why that is. I suspect I'm calling it now. 629 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,160 We've been pretty accurate with our calls the last year or so. 630 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,920 I think this has to do with this. 631 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,040 I think this has to do with regulatory reasons. 632 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,360 And it's a lot easier for Coinbase to say, you know what? 633 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,280 Like, yeah, you can send crypto to each other as long as you 634 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,400 have a Coinbase account. So like, you know, like it. 635 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,880 It's just like, it's just bullshit, you know? 636 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,920 And then they're basically trying to demonize Bitcoin, 637 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,480 'cause they're saying it's too expensive for the fees. 638 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,400 Like, no. And they and and I remember 639 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800 Coinbase promising that they wanted to roll out the Lightning 640 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,360 Network. Like, whatever happened to that? 641 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,960 You know? So I thought, it's bullshit, 642 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,960 Sean, You were going to say something. 643 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,600 I, I was just going to say you know, going back to even even a 644 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,880 mining ban, right? Like look, this is what's going 645 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,400 on in Latin America. It's what's going on in El 646 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,000 Salvador is people are are deciding that they they are 647 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,520 sovereign individuals and they're not held down by 648 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,080 sovereign countries. And so they're deciding to move. 649 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,840 And if you just saw recently too in Ethiopia, they just opened up 650 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,080 like a $250 million operation to to do mining out in Ethiopia as 651 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,480 well. So like we have, if we wanted to 652 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,160 mine, we can mine in the US if we want to or we can mine in 653 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,560 China if we want to. But if they shut that down, it's 654 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,480 like the miners will go to wherever, wherever they're 655 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,360 treated the best. And there will be countries that 656 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,440 will welcome miners with open hands. 657 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,960 And and so it's gonna happen no matter what. 658 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,240 It just may. It just may be that the United 659 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,480 States like what China did, the United States may shut 660 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,600 themselves off to Bitcoin, right? 661 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,920 Like the whole You can't ban Bitcoin. 662 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,520 You just ban yourself from Bitcoin. 663 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,040 And we see that happening. Yeah, 100%. 664 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,000 And it's just it's just crazy. It's you know it's it's crazy 665 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,400 that again it's crazy that it's happening here in the US right. 666 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,680 That's the crazy part cause how the US markets itself, you know 667 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,720 what the country's ethos is. You know it's kind of going 668 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,240 against it. So here's like the official 669 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,320 statement. So it says customers can use any 670 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,920 self custody EVM wallet to pay the fastest checkout is with any 671 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,600 native asset or ECR 20 token including Rap Bitcoin on Layer. 672 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,400 Two's customers can also pay with any asset in their Coinbase 673 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,160 account. Quote The new commerce product 674 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080 enforces the details of each payment on chain, supports 675 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,240 hundreds of assets native and ECR 20s across base Polygon, 676 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,600 Ethereum, and automatically converts payments to USDC on 677 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,560 chain at a Guaranteed Rate to merchants. 678 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,440 Delivering the same capabilities on the Bitcoin blockchain 679 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,480 without smart contracts and stable coins was challenging and 680 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,920 we therefore made the difficult decision to remove Bitcoin and 681 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,240 other UTXO support. I mean, that's kind of weird. 682 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,760 Customers retain the ability to pay with UTXO assets like 683 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,840 Bitcoin from their Coinbase account, which accounts for a 684 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,760 significant portion of the Bitcoin volume we were seeing 685 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,600 before making these changes. Since making the change, the 686 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,480 results have brought us much closer to executing on our 687 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,360 mission, which is what exactly? See, this is the problem. 688 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,960 Like, like there's a problem with, like, altcoin exchanges. 689 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120 It's like it's not the separation of money in state. 690 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,560 And what's really scary also is that Coinbase is a custodian for 691 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,600 all these ETFs, right? So they're a big player. 692 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,120 They're not going anywhere. It's a it's a giant public 693 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,120 company. And like, clearly, they're not 694 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,880 working for Bitcoin. Like, clearly, and you can make 695 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,800 the argument that they've always been anti Bitcoin. 696 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,560 Their business model is trying to convince you that these 697 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,600 altcoins are gonna somehow, you know, overtake Bitcoin, That 698 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,960 that's basically their business model, right? 699 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,960 So I mean, it's just kind of disappointing. 700 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,520 And then we had different takes from we had different takes from 701 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,120 different bitcoiners, like influential bitcoiners. 702 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,440 So this is a BTC, say, server, BTC pay server, retweet or 703 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,680 repost. And the original tweet came from 704 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,080 Nicholas Darriere and he said the best time, the best time to 705 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,320 switch was six years ago. The second best time is now, 706 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,440 Jimmy Song said. Coinbase doesn't think Bitcoin 707 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,480 has smart contracts. This has never been and never 708 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,280 will be a tech company. It's a regulatory arbitrage 709 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,080 slash rent seeking company and they deserve every bit of scorn 710 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,720 they're getting. Here's Francis Pulio. 711 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,160 He says. Very poor excuse from Coinbase. 712 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,000 Bitcoin does have smart contracts, but this has nothing 713 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,680 to do with accepting on chain or lightning payments. 714 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,920 It's wild that bull. Bitcoin.com has been processing 715 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,520 Bitcoin payments for thousands of billers when instant with 716 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,360 instant exchange rate lock in and Fiat settlement since 2013 717 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,560 with 0 VC funding. And we built open source 718 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,240 Lightning network processing in 2020 with a couple of devs, and 719 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,160 somehow a multibillion dollar public corporation with 720 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,960 thousands of employees cannot pull it off. 721 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:10,040 Even more. Wild Bitcoin Jungle CR is 722 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,200 processing payments for hundreds of merchants in Costa Rica on 723 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,880 chain via Lightning and it is run entirely by volunteers doing 724 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,600 this for fun as a side gig and via bull Bitcoin we can convert 725 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,920 and settle inbound payments from self custodial lightning to 3rd 726 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,920 party Fiat in a local bank account in seconds. 727 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,880 But Coinbase cannot pull that off. 728 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,040 I completely agree. Like I I completely agree with 729 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,560 Francis. I think Francis has the best 730 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,360 take. We've seen this with Bitcoin 731 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,760 only companies that they're focusing exclusively on Bitcoin 732 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,160 because they know that Bitcoin is the base layer, Bitcoin is 733 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,560 the better money. What's the point of building on 734 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,680 an inferior, you know, system, an inferior network? 735 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,280 And then you could say, OK, but Bitcoin's too expensive. 736 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,920 Well look, the reason the fees are the way they are and the 737 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,520 reason that Bitcoin is designed the way it is, is 738 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,040 decentralization above all. If you don't have a truly 739 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,640 decentralized cryptocurrency, which Bitcoin is the only one in 740 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,400 my opinion, you cannot separate money from state and whatever it 741 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,040 is, it will inevitably be Co opted by the state. 742 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,680 So it has to be actually decentralized. 743 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,320 And I believe, and Jimmy Song really touched upon this. 744 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,160 I think it is a regulatory capture. 745 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,360 I think that's really what is. I think that's really what it's 746 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,200 all about. Like, I think, you know, they 747 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,080 got the thumbs up from the from the SEC, like, oh, you guys want 748 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,760 to custody, you know, the spot Bitcoin ETFs, you guys want to 749 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,040 make a ton of money off of that. Well, let me tell you about some 750 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,920 concessions that you can make. I don't think Coinbase is an 751 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,440 ally of Bitcoin. I'm saying it. 752 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,560 They haven't acted like it. They say they're going to 753 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,240 develop the Lightning Network. They never did, and now they're 754 00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:48,880 rolling back the ability to pay. Would Bitcoin like, what is 755 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,520 that? Like, what does it cost them? 756 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,880 Like they had to, like, actively shut that switch off. 757 00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:55,880 Like that's like a sign of aggression. 758 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,200 Anyways, Big Sean, what's your take? 759 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,960 I just think what you're saying is spot on, right? 760 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,280 The the mission of Coinbase is not the mission of Bitcoin. 761 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,200 And I think that's that's the issue with a lot of these big 762 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,000 companies is they realize that their mission is to stay in 763 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,840 business. And so they're doing everything 764 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,040 that they can to to follow along with whatever the government 765 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,560 tells them to do. And it seems like that they have 766 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,520 been captured by the government. That's what would be my 767 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,960 assumption is that there's someone in government telling 768 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,480 them how they can act and what they can and can't do. 769 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,480 And so this is what they've been told. 770 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:35,280 And so it's it's not, it's not a company that's ever been their 771 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,360 mission to advance Bitcoin. And yeah, it's probably where 772 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,600 most of us, you know, a lot of us bought our first Bitcoin was 773 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,360 on Coinbase, You know, I know I did. 774 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,520 And so that's great. But once you realize, you know, 775 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,720 once you go further down the rabbit hole, then you realize 776 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,440 like they've just been peddling altcoins this whole time, they 777 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,840 didn't even save that much Bitcoin for how much, you know, 778 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,760 for how long they've been in business for and how much 779 00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,600 Bitcoin they could have saved this whole time. 780 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,840 So they're not really bitcoiners. 781 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,120 I would say they're more Fiat shills. 782 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,440 They're trying to get government capture. 783 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,040 That's just how they're set up. And you know for us as 784 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,480 Bitcoiners we realized that our goal is the separation of money 785 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,640 in state. It's that we can't, we don't, we 786 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,240 can't live with a trusted third party and and that's what 787 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:23,640 Coinbase essentially wants to be, is the trusted third party 788 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,800 that you'll do deals with them and hope that that they won't 789 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,280 rug pull you, that they won't steal your money from you and 790 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,160 that they won't 61 O2 you. So all those things, that's 791 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,600 that's my take. I don't think that. 792 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,040 I don't think Coinbase is really a bitcoiners A bitcoiners 793 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,440 exchange in my opinion. I 100% agree and we actually had 794 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,440 a really good comment, Hajami said. 795 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,200 Brian Armstrong is part of the establishment. 796 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,800 We know this CZ out of the way and now Coinbase can shine with 797 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,440 the blessings of the USA. I think that comment is on 798 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,120 point. Yeah, I completely agree. 799 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,040 You know, I know that Binance was like, you know, 'cause it 800 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,120 was over, quote UN quote, it was overseas, you know, and I know 801 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,440 that it was a pain in the ass for them. 802 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,960 Like, from a regulatory standpoint, I feel like Coinbase 803 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,480 is like, let's take a different approach. 804 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,080 Let's just get in bed with these guys. 805 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,360 Yeah. And I actually saw a video. 806 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,640 It was, it was, it was like trending on Twitter. 807 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,760 It was like a couple days ago or something. 808 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,120 But it was basically like someone from Coinbase, like 809 00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:27,320 basically complaining about tether. 810 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,880 And just being like Tether is overseas, like basically skirts 811 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,040 compliance, like essentially like we have USDC. 812 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:39,760 Like they're not talking shit about Tether just to talk shit 813 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,960 about tether. They're talking shit about 814 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,960 Tether cuz they got their own stable coin and they want their 815 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,720 own stable coin to be adopted and used. 816 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,080 So yeah, I mean you might see an evil alliance, or maybe there 817 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,600 already is one. I suspect there already is one. 818 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,440 I suspect they're already in bed together, Coinbase and the 819 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,080 government. Here's the thing, If if you 820 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,160 shoot at the king, you best not miss. 821 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,040 And right now the king is the US government. 822 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,480 And so if you're Coinbase and you, they missed, right? 823 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,280 They tried to shoot at the US government and they missed and 824 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,400 they realize it. And This is why you're seeing 825 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,880 people moving to El Salvador, because El Salvador is friendly 826 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,240 towards Bitcoin, not altcoins, not crypto. 827 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,360 They're friendly towards Bitcoin, and they're on a 828 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,640 Bitcoin mission. You know, Bukele didn't give his 829 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,400 people some El Salvador coin, right? 830 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,080 He didn't make up his Miami coin like Suarez did in Miami, right, 831 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,560 Bukele? He freed his country. 832 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,520 And then what does he do? He gives them freedom, money in 833 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,280 Bitcoin. Like it's amazing and they're 834 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,240 friendly towards Bitcoin and they want advancement. 835 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,440 They're not worried about capturing their piece of the pie 836 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,680 and their power they want. They know that the best, like 837 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,400 the best model right now is to provide freedom for their 838 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,080 citizens. And then people will come to 839 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,200 them. The best talent will be 840 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,080 attracted to them and that's what they're doing. 841 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,120 And it's a winning strategy. And we're only we've only seen 842 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,360 the beginning of this. And so it'll be a lot of fun to 843 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,440 see how much, how much more growth we can see in El Salvador 844 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,640 over the years because of the strategy that they're playing 845 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,920 versus the strategy that the United States is playing, which 846 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,280 this is the strategy, it's strategy that any government 847 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,120 that is ruling the world would play. 848 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,560 They want to hold on to whatever they have because it's hard to 849 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,040 think about moving towards a new future. 850 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,080 And it's easy for El Salvador to do it because they don't have 851 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,680 the power, right. So it's easy for them to say we 852 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,320 can take an alternative route to getting more, to getting more 853 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,760 citizens and more money in our in our country. 854 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,160 And and it's the correct decision to make. 855 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,520 It's the right decision for them. 100%, I I 100% agree with 856 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,760 that statement, dude, it's it. It it's a lot easier, 'cause 857 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,760 they didn't have a legal tent, they didn't have a legal, they 858 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,840 didn't have a Fiat currency, they were using the dollar. 859 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,600 So they were already outsourcing their monetary policy and 860 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,520 they're just like, you know what, it's time to try something 861 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,120 new. And you know how I know that El 862 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,680 Salvador was over the target, the amount of attacks that were 863 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,080 coming from the legacy media, which I would say is an arm of 864 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,360 the government. Like I know that's very 865 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,240 controversial, but I mean I really suggest the Tucker 866 00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:11,360 interview that dropped like two or three days ago. 867 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,360 There's so much fire in there. I I just, I see it. 868 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,600 You see the this legacy machine, legacy media machine. 869 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,520 And once you see you can't Unsee it like it's so crazy how like 870 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,040 they just act in like they they just like it's like a step by 871 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,920 step. As soon as Larry Fink and 872 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,720 BlackRock was like, you know, this Bitcoin stuff is dope, all 873 00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:39,200 of a sudden, right? You, you have anchors on legacy 874 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,080 media defending Bitcoin to the death, even with Gary Gensler, 875 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,680 right? So like clearly, like the legacy 876 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,280 media, like it's it's just it's captured by special interests, 877 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,000 whether that's the government or these large corporations like 878 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,720 BlackRock. I just don't trust it. 879 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,320 I don't trust it. And the amount of vitriol, the 880 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,480 amount of hate going on to El Salvador, even though it's a 881 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,520 country that went through like a 30 year civil war, one of the 882 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,360 most violent countries, you know, until Bukele, of course. 883 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,040 And then they like got their stuff together and you would 884 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,560 they ignore every other country in Central America, right? 885 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,520 It's just they ignore that and they're like El Salvador is a 886 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,840 problem. And it's like, why is El 887 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,640 Salvador is a problem? Did you guys see? 888 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,040 Actually this reminds me, Opti, do you have the video of Bukele 889 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,360 replying to the BBC 'cause he just absolutely. 890 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,240 I can pull it out real quick. He just absolutely did, which I 891 00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:31,680 think it's worth playing that video. 892 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,960 That video's so good because it was like 11 minutes long though, 893 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,280 right? Yeah, we won't play the whole 894 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,600 thing, but I do have it right here. 895 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,360 So one second all. Right. 896 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,040 Yeah. Because I think it's worth it 897 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:46,680 because it just kind of shows like, it just shows like how 898 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:47,880 disconnected it is. Thank. 899 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:58,150 You I. Don't think anybody could 900 00:44:58,150 --> 00:45:00,630 suggest. That you haven't changed the 901 00:45:00,630 --> 00:45:06,030 face of security in the last five years, but my question? 902 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:07,030 Is. It'll get louder. 903 00:45:07,030 --> 00:45:07,950 Guys, hold on. Specifically. 904 00:45:08,150 --> 00:45:14,750 In terms of thousands who have the rights organization, so no 905 00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:21,880 consent will be. He's asking about the innocent 906 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,480 people that are locked up in. And I can pass, obviously on His 907 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,760 mother was bringing food to the prison where he was at. 908 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,440 It turns out he'd been moved to the secot some weeks, months in 909 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,520 fact, earlier, while she was faithfully bringing food to the 910 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,240 prison. Seems like he's completely lost 911 00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,400 in the system. And there are two Ordoganis de 912 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,840 Liberacion in his name, one as recently as June last year and 913 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,440 yet he's simply not been released even over 20 days is 914 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,680 obviously now six months ago, by which time he should have been 915 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,360 out. I'm wondering what if if your 916 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,720 intention is to sort of work on the legal side of things, 917 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,720 assuming you win today and that you are president for the next 918 00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,720 five years to start unpicking those sorts of problems and 919 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,320 errors in in in the state of exception. 920 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,880 And secondly, if you also plan to only serve one more term from 921 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,200 here, and if you don't plan to lift term limits altogether. 922 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,080 Thank you. Well, it's important to say that 923 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,920 every police in the world, because I find this some 924 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,480 somewhat amusing when they say, oh, but you know what, El 925 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,720 Salvador, they arrest people and some of the arrested are 926 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:25,040 innocent. And I'm a little baffled because 927 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:29,200 I wonder if in the UK all of the arrests are of guilty people or 928 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,760 your police. Some sometimes arrest innocent 929 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,640 people. I mean I bet there will be a 930 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,640 percentage of people arrested by UK police, the police of the 931 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,800 government that you work for. And they will arrest sometimes 932 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,880 innocent people as a mistake or because they were they had a 933 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,520 wrong tip or. But they will go to a judicial 934 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,600 system. If there were no arrest of 935 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,040 innocents in any. If there was one police in the 936 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:57,320 world, one police force, UK, Spain, France, you name it, any 937 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:02,760 country, the US, Canada, any police force that has only that 938 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,320 has zero percentage of margin of error. 939 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,280 They only arrest guilty people. Why you? 940 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,240 Why would you need prosecutors or defense or a justice system? 941 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,000 You will need that because the police is perfect in your 942 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,040 country. So every country in the world 943 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,280 will have an imperfect police. Now it is different when you 944 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,920 have in countries that promote ethnic cleansing for example. 945 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,120 Or they promote or they arrest political opponents or they 946 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,160 arrest a minority. But in our case all of the 947 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,440 arrests are made to end the bloodshed that was that was that 948 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,480 we lived for decades and we have ended it. 949 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,040 Now there are police made a couple of mistakes. 950 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,080 Of course they did. That's why our judicial system 951 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,920 has been freed innocent people and they will freed every 952 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,680 innocent people that that the police has wrongly arrested and 953 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,360 we have already freed 7000 people. 954 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,480 Now I would, I would assume that the criticism may come from a 955 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,760 hypothetical country that doesn't have any any arrest of 956 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,600 innocence. But I'm sure that in the UK they 957 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,240 do plenty arrest of innocent people And then they are proven 958 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:00,840 innocent in in court. But sometimes, and we have seen 959 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,720 a lot of cases in the US, in the UK, Europe that they find them 960 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,000 that they're innocent 20-30 years after being convicted 961 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,760 because they found some DNA evidence. 962 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,880 So what does that mean? That means that you shouldn't 963 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,640 arrest criminals. No, it means that police made a 964 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,680 mistake and some retributions have to be made to the people 965 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,280 that have been arrested wrongfully. 966 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,320 But we don't. We don't think, we think it's 967 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:28,160 it's weird or we're baffled by by the criticism of something 968 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,040 that you know, you well know that any police in the world 969 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,160 would make which is a small percentage of of innocent people 970 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,560 getting in the net. One point on that, of course, is 971 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,680 that 75,000 people in the space of the. 972 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,440 Year, so he just. Keeps going and he like 973 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,680 absolutely slays it. It is a pretty long video, but I 974 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,040 highly recommend checking it out. 975 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,640 And like, this is what I was talking about. 976 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,160 Like when I was talking about and he even said it like, like, 977 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,520 I don't know, is it like a Freudian slip or something? 978 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,000 But he even said it. He's like the government, you 979 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,880 know, the UK, the government that you work for. 980 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,040 Like he, well, Kelly even said it himself, right. 981 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,800 So, you know, this is what I'm talking about. 982 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,720 Is that like the media, the way that I see it, the legacy media, 983 00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:11,080 like it's not it's clearly not unbiased. 984 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,840 It's clearly, it clearly has a bias. 985 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:18,040 It clearly, like, protects. It clearly is being used as a 986 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,680 mechanism. And I think this has been 987 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,720 happening for a long time. I just think that the Internet 988 00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:25,560 really just opened our eyes to it. 989 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,200 I think before you could have made made the argument that we 990 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,040 were asleep, but I think the Internet opened our eyes to it 991 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,720 because of social media, right? So now you have the rise of 992 00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:37,040 independent content and that independent content is is 993 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,840 telling you the truth more than the quote UN quote reputable 994 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,800 sources and you start to ask questions like you know like 995 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,640 what the F are having what what, what are these people been 996 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,080 telling me this entire time what is going on right. 997 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,040 So anyways, I want to get Sean's take, Opti's take, then let's 998 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,960 let's get to the culture. So I really love this because 999 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,800 this is something I've been talking about a lot, you know, 1000 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,520 especially with with being down in El Salvador a couple of 1001 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,240 times. I used to live in, in Honduras. 1002 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,520 I lived in Honduras for two years, which borders El 1003 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,080 Salvador. And I lived in the most 1004 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,000 dangerous city in the world in Honduras at that time, and then 1005 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,040 ended up the murder capital world, ended up coming to El 1006 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,520 Salvador. And for me, it's like a lot of 1007 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,280 people come with their eyes from the United States or from 1008 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,640 England or from the Western world, and they want to judge a 1009 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,920 country that's the murder capital of the world or that was 1010 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,840 the murder capital of the world with the same liberal democracy 1011 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,200 ideals that we have. And they want to impose that on 1012 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,360 them. And it doesn't, it doesn't 1013 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,680 translate, it doesn't work. And one of the other points that 1014 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,120 that Buchelli ended up making, which I think is the greater 1015 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:43,840 point is, you know, you know, you shouldn't have any errors in 1016 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,000 making arrests. I agree like that should that 1017 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,600 should be 0. But every country does it does 1018 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,040 that make it an excuse? No, it doesn't make it an 1019 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,920 excuse. But what the bigger point is in 1020 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:59,240 my opinion is these gang members who who identified themselves as 1021 00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,920 killers and rapists by their tattoos and that's how they 1022 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,960 identify themselves is by their tattoos that they have killed 1023 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,160 and then they have raped. And so they identify, they self 1024 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,760 identify themselves, they're bragging about their what 1025 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,520 they've done and you know what are they doing? 1026 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,520 They're killing innocent people. So the question is do do their 1027 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,280 kids and their wives and their brothers and their sisters 1028 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,480 deserve to be killed innocently because if they don't lock up 1029 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,400 the criminals, that's what does happen. 1030 00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:32,640 And so that was, that was the dilemma that they faced, was 1031 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,440 we're going to arrest all of these murders and criminals and 1032 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,560 rapists. And when we do it, there's going 1033 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:40,880 to be an air raid and we're going to arrest some people that 1034 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,240 are innocent more than likely because that's what happens in 1035 00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,680 any police force. But that was the decision that 1036 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,440 they made. And you know, and I think it 1037 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,640 overall, I think it was the right decision to make. 1038 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,800 I think if I was put in his shoes, I would have made the 1039 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,520 same decision. And it's a hard decision to 1040 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,240 make. But when you see innocent people 1041 00:51:59,240 --> 00:52:02,600 dying every day, then you realize, well, maybe if we have 1042 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,840 to lock up some innocent people and they're in prison for a few 1043 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,720 months, that's better than having our people dying and 1044 00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:12,080 being murdered innocently. And that that was, that was what 1045 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,080 was, you know, weighing in the balance for them. 1046 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,560 And I think it's the right decision. 1047 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,960 And it was a tough decision. But look at El Salvador now. 1048 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,760 It's a way more safer than it's ever been. 1049 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,360 It's the safest country in all of Latin America now. 1050 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,080 And if you talk to any Latin American outside of El Salvador 1051 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,680 or inside of El Salvador, they all love Bukele. 1052 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,600 If they're not in El Salvador, they say we wish Bukele was our 1053 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,880 president. We wish he would do in our 1054 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,200 country what he's done in El Salvador. 1055 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,440 And it's like, would you rather have Biden as your leader or 1056 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,600 Bukele like, look at how Bukele speaks. 1057 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,320 He can do this in another language. 1058 00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:48,600 He can speak better in English than Biden can speak in English, 1059 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,600 and that is what is pretty amazing. 1060 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,840 So kudos to Buchelli and El Salvador and everything that 1061 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,320 they're doing for their people. Yeah, 100%. 1062 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,840 I think that's a really, really good take. 1063 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,880 Opti, what's your take? Yeah, yeah, so we we strayed a 1064 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,200 lot from the videos in the in the beginning. 1065 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:09,000 So let me go back a little bit. First thing we start with like 1066 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,360 the lightning, Exodus, dropping Lightning and the Coinbase. 1067 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,160 Well you know Exodus is a shit coin wallet. 1068 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,440 So connecting the dots, Coinbase is a shit coin casino. 1069 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,320 So you. Can't play. 1070 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:23,760 That card. I know, I know. 1071 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,480 Satoshi did it. First, I know, I know. 1072 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:30,960 So that's where I was going. You know, the cynical surface 1073 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,320 level take is that they probably dropped lightning because 1074 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,200 they're incentivized because of the shit coins. 1075 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,640 But giving them the benefit of the doubt, we've been covering 1076 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,000 the government crackdown on Bitcoin. 1077 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,360 And it's definitely, definitely an attempt to try to hamper 1078 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:46,760 Bitcoin. You know, shoot Bitcoin in the 1079 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,360 knees hypothetically or metaphorically so that more 1080 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,080 people don't use Bitcoin. And we know the classic playbook 1081 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,320 flood Bitcoin and we know the classic shit coin playbook too 1082 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,360 Fudd Bitcoin. So you buy my shit coin we we we 1083 00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,160 know the game being played. And then adding that with the 1084 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,640 the lady I I don't know who she was and I don't know where she 1085 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,480 was testifying. But that video of her testifying 1086 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,760 on Bitcoin mining and tagging and bagging Bitcoin miners and 1087 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,680 you know we've been saying that this was going to happen for a 1088 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,360 while. Now they're actually saying it 1089 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,360 out loud and it all goes back to the same thing when you connect 1090 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,880 this to that Boris Johnson Tucker Carlson clip. 1091 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,680 Don't watch or don't don't watch what I do. 1092 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,880 Listen to what I say meme. We know that the people in 1093 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,520 power, they maybe not everyone. I'll I'll give them the negative 1094 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,640 benefit of the doubt here. But the people in power fully 1095 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,320 understand Bitcoin as far as I'm concerned. 1096 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,680 At first I was kind of naively thinking that yeah, maybe they 1097 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,920 just don't understand Bitcoin because you can hear when they 1098 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,440 talk about Bitcoin, they obviously don't technically 1099 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,200 understand Bitcoin, but they understand what is at stake and 1100 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,680 This is why we're seeing all of this stuff play out. 1101 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,880 And when I saw that Tucker Call video, not gonna lie, I I kind 1102 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,040 of maybe thought that Boris Johnson was kind of trolling 1103 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,880 Tucker by saying, you know, $1,000,000 in cash, Bitcoin or 1104 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,440 gold. And now whether that actually 1105 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,200 happened or not within might be debatable. 1106 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,320 But again, this goes back to the idea that the politicians, the 1107 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,720 central bankers, you know, Jamie Dimon's been saying this for 1108 00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:15,360 forever, you know, Bitcoin for only criminals and yet he is the 1109 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,640 authorized partner of the BlackRock ETF. 1110 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,800 So again, they say things publicly and then behind the 1111 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,760 scenes they embrace Bitcoin. So I wouldn't be surprised prize 1112 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,680 if we learn that some of these big wigs that come out against 1113 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,880 Bitcoin have huge Bitcoin stacks. 1114 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,440 And again, it kind of goes into the Bitcoin is for enemies or 1115 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,000 Bitcoin is for anyone. So obviously they see the value 1116 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,520 of a currency that is separate from the ridiculous things that 1117 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,080 the state is doing in every corner of the world. 1118 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,640 And let's not forget, did you guys catch the Freudian slip in 1119 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,680 that testimony from the lady you know, talking about hard forking 1120 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,600 Bitcoin? Are we gonna, are we gonna get 1121 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,440 an AirDrop soon? I am so hype. 1122 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,760 Can we get an shit coin AirDrop soon? 1123 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,840 That would be absolutely amazing, she did say. 1124 00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,360 Fork, she did say. She did say. 1125 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:03,960 Fork. And then touching on that last 1126 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,520 thing, Nico, you were you've been talking about it all week. 1127 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,400 And last night I sat down and watched that Talker Carlson 1128 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,520 interview with the, I think his name is Matt Benz. 1129 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:16,040 And man, we've been saying this for a while and he just dropped 1130 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,760 the receipts on that whole thing last night of the media 1131 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:23,520 corruption and, you know, social media platform corruption and 1132 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,760 controlling the narrative and the fact that the Internet has 1133 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:31,240 disintermediated information and how they just were hopefully 1134 00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:35,240 unprepared for the boom of Internet and social media. 1135 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,680 And it just goes to show that we are really ahead of the vanguard 1136 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,880 here as Bitcoiners, as. As users of social media, as 1137 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:47,040 users of Noster and, you know, Telegram and Signal and all the 1138 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:52,000 stuff we talk about constantly that peer-to-peer communication, 1139 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,120 peer-to-peer money. Like you're so ahead of the game 1140 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,640 that that is why everyone thinks we're crazy is because when 1141 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,440 you're that far ahead, everyone's like yo, you guys are 1142 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,280 like you guys are in like a sci-fi future. 1143 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,520 And I forget that the normie is still like stuck in the Fiat 1144 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,560 mindset. They're still stuck in the Fiat 1145 00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,720 operating system and they don't understand that there is a 1146 00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:15,400 solution, that there is an exit route. 1147 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,640 And This is why all of us bitcoiners realize the 1148 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:23,160 importance of trying to incept these ideas and educate people 1149 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,880 in Bitcoin. Because again I was even ranting 1150 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,800 with Nico this morning. We just got on the call and 1151 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,000 we're talking about, you know, what we're doing here at Simply 1152 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,960 and how we can improve and and whether we're actually be doing 1153 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,920 something of value. And we realize that there is 1154 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,840 just such a long road ahead because so few people really 1155 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:45,000 understand what is going on. They they really miss the trees 1156 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,600 or miss the forest for the trees that they're they're 1157 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,440 sleepwalking right now. And you guys have the tools. 1158 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,200 We have the tools. Everyone's been talking about 1159 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,000 the problems and people are addicted to talking about the 1160 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,560 problems. Yet only bitcoiners are the ones 1161 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,720 talking about the solution. And it's very simple. 1162 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,600 Saving Bitcoin, stack Bitcoin, take Bitcoin into self custody, 1163 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,520 and then continue to propagate the meme. 1164 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,320 Some more people understand what is at stakes. 1165 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,080 This is what we're all doing here. 1166 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,680 You guys are frontline soldiers in the mimetic war that we find 1167 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,040 ourselves in. Yeah, dude, Bars, bars, 1168 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:23,480 absolutely. Yeah. 1169 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,400 And it's, you know, it's a disintermediation of of 1170 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,680 information and money. It's all happening at the same 1171 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,080 time. And governments are just 1172 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,760 unprepared. Like they're not, they're not 1173 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,920 prepared for unapproved sources building their own platforms and 1174 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,040 having their own ideas. And it's crazy to say that, 1175 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,920 like, even in the US, like you'd you would think in the US, you 1176 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,120 know, out of all countries, you know, the press would be free, 1177 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:46,440 the press wouldn't be compromised. 1178 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,840 But I think over the last five years, what it's really shown is 1179 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:52,200 it's like, are they really journalists or are they 1180 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,400 propagandists, 'cause they sound like propagandists to me, maybe. 1181 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,120 I might be a little biased, but sure feels like that when I see 1182 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,920 them attack, you know, tiny country of El Salvador because 1183 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,000 they want to get their shit together. 1184 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,840 Like, who are you?

Perfect. 1224 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,120 Perfect. Yeah, you know what sparked the 1225 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,480 the Bitcoin having party for me was just my first having was in 1226 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,560 2020 and I was getting really excited. 1227 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,440 I started buying Bitcoin in 2019. 1228 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,080 I was studying it all the way from 2017. 1229 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,640 Two years later, I finally decided to buy. 1230 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,320 And I was very excited for the halving because to me that was 1231 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,200 like, oh, the last two halvings. Bitcoin just exploded in price. 1232 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,520 And that's what I thought was going to happen. 1233 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,240 And it did happen. And then 2020 rolled around and 1234 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,400 it was the lamest thing that we've ever seen. 1235 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,240 It was pomp on YouTube cracking a beer. 1236 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,640 Like I said before, like that's what I did for the halving in 1237 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:49,360 2020, and it sucked. And so since that moment, I was 1238 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,920 like, we should do this, like we should do some type of 1239 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,200 celebration. Then it just worked out 1240 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,920 perfectly when El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender because 1241 01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:03,280 then it was like, now we have a place to do the having. 1242 01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,120 And I've known so many people that have wanted to go down 1243 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:08,400 there that want to have an excuse to go down there. 1244 01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,200 And it's been great. You know, there's been we've had 1245 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,280 right now we have almost 400 people that are coming to the 1246 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,200 having party from all over the world. 1247 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,520 I was just talking to a lady last night her family's coming 1248 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,440 from Australia to the having party and she was just like, you 1249 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,680 know we're so thankful that you you finally like we're getting 1250 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,480 to El Salvador. And the reason we're getting 1251 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,280 there is because of the having party. 1252 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,000 And it just makes me really happy because I remember when I 1253 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,280 first, when we first went after this, I was a little scared 1254 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,600 because, you know, I put down about, you know, I was putting 1255 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,720 down some down payments and getting things ready. 1256 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,720 And I was like, I don't know if I'm ever going to see this back. 1257 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,680 And it's been really cool to just see that if if you have a 1258 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,480 goal, we can, we can go out there and make it happen. 1259 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,360 And there's a lot of people that are going to come down. 1260 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,040 So what to expect? We're going to have just a 1261 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,640 blast. We're going to an all inclusive 1262 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,480 resort.

They're going to be there. 1266 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,800 And in my opinion, they're the hardest working men in Bitcoin. 1267 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,080 We're trying. I'm trying to catch up to them 1268 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,360 and and so they're going to be there. 1269 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,440 We're going to have a lot of good guests down there. 1270 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,720 Obviously Max and Stacy are going to be there. 1271 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,680 You know Preston Pish and Layer the part and a lot of good 1272 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,400 people.

Wait, Nico, before we fully wrap 1391 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,800 this up, because Sean, I have one of my favorite, one of my 1392 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,440 favorite people. He's got that winner's 1393 01:10:02,440 --> 01:10:04,560 mentality. I I just love where his head's 1394 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,560 at. You know, ex pro basketball 1395 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,800 player, he knows how to win in life. 1396 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,720 So I want to give you the opportunity to just drop the 1397 01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,080 last two sets on our audience. It could be about the having 1398 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:15,280 party. It could be about life in 1399 01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:16,560 general, it could be about Bitcoin. 1400 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,000 What's the last message you want to leave with the audience? 1401 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:27,160 My, my last message is, thank you by the way, is when is if 1402 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,160 you want to build something on Bitcoin, you don't have to be a 1403 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,200 developer to build something on Bitcoin. 1404 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,280 And I'm proof of it. I'm a basketball player and I'm 1405 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,920 able to build something called the having party on top of 1406 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,880 Bitcoin. And so I think that was one 1407 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,160 thing that I was worried about when I've seen what Bitcoin can 1408 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,520 do, and I want to be a part of this revolution, and I felt like 1409 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,760 I couldn't be because I don't know how to code. 1410 01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:55,800 And and I just made the jump. I had an idea and I have the 1411 01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,640 Mean factory with me. And I couldn't have done this 1412 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,400 with, you know, this is not just me, This is the mean factory, 1413 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,440 that we're doing it together. We have an amazing sponsor, by 1414 01:11:04,440 --> 01:11:07,040 the way, named Amber App that's really helping us out. 1415 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,160 But more than anything, if you want to go after your goals and 1416 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:13,960 you want to build something on Bitcoin, I mean, look at Nikko 1417 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:15,960 and Opti.
