Yo welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live.
Shout out to Opti holy cow covering for me.
Two days. Back-to-backs never, never been
done before. Be absolutely slated, I'm back
for the Friday episode today, guys.
We're going to talk about the continuation of the breaking of
the Bitcoin Echo chamber. Where finally breaking into
mainstream Consciousness breaking in to make it
mainstream Consciousness and taking the Bitcoin ethos the
ideas of Bitcoin into the ation. That's very very important
because I think a lot of podcasts as awesome of the as
awesome as they are their political in nature, right?
They, you know, they talk crap about the opposing ideology but
the solution, the fundamental solution to that is voting,
right? So you know, at least in the
u.s., you know, every country is different, right?
There's election roughly every two years and it's like you vote
and then nothing ever gets fixed.
And the reason is very simple rather, it's a republican in
power. Republican party in power, the
Democrat party in power, or, you know, whatever the parties are
in your country. The issue Remains the Same
doesn't matter, they're going to print money, right?
And we've talked about what the unintended consequences of
printing money are, I don't think that, you know, Janet
Yellen or Jerome Powell or opt. He's ex-girlfriend, you know,
are inherently bad people. I just think that the incentives
are not aligned, right? And we talk about this all the
time, e time, they print money to wealth redistribution
mechanism from the lower and middle classes that don't have
the means to save and assets. Therefore, they don't benefit
from asset inflation. They're saving in Fiat and it's
a wealth redistribution mechanism, back to the very
wealthy and back to the government, right.
And people continue to seek a political solution to this,
while the solution is right up in their face and that solution
is just to opt out entirely, right?
The separation of money and state and this is why it's so
important that Michael sailor is making the rounds and he's going
on mainstream podcasts and he's talking about the issues that
Bitcoin fixes. He's done, he's done the
circuit. He did value tame it, I think
Opti played the clip on yesterday's episode of the day.
Before we need more of that because we have to remember as
much as as much as you know, we think that were right.
And we cover these topics and we have the receipts, we have the
sources, You have to remember that the people that are
listening to us as Bitcoin content creators or other
bitcoiners, right? But we have to win the race to
avoid the war like Corey said, right?
We have to win the adoption race and the way to win the adoption
race, you need to break into the popular mainstream
Consciousness, and that's why it's so important not to get
lost in the sauce with the left and right arguments not to get
lost in the sauce with the culture War, but just stay on
message. It's not red versus blue.
Is Green verse orange, and I think it's happening.
I think we're witnessing it firsthand anyways.
Before we start the show, I want to bring up my legendary
co-host, who is always optimistic and absolutely slate
it the last two days. Opti, how you doing, brother?
How much coffee have you drink this morning?
Honestly, not enough only to only two cups, so I'm not a
jacked as usual. But hey, man, I just need a
little Nika Jones Ranch and I'll be good to go but I hey, man,
I'm glad to have you back. Quit.
Making me do all the work over here.
Quit making me put the channel on my back do now, man.
It's always great to be here. This is I was telling everyone,
the space is right now. I'm just honored and blessed and
to have this privilege to be able for us to create this
platform for everyone to enjoy and be a part of every single
day of their lives. It's just it's man it's just
awesome doing what we do but hey Niko to your point, let's just
hope not too many mainstream podcast.
Are becoming Bitcoin channels because then maybe we're out of
a job. So we can keep it together for a
little bit. I mean I think I think we have a
I think we have information asymmetry on our side.
Anyways no more delay. I want to bring up a friend of
mine and also a fellow coworker at the best place to build your
Bitcoin stack. So on.com Hurley, how you doing,
what's up? He is the you can go pick,
winners slavery. Hell yeah.
So he's the executive editor at Swan.
And he's dropping some some if you guys have been noticing from
the swan Channel some epic Shorty's the versus yeah those
are those are those are all those are a lot of those come
from from Hurley's Hurley's mind.
But anyways, Opti, what are we going to cover during the
culture segment? Well, you know, me, I like to
feature our guests, we're going to be talking Swan media, well,
rather probably more the importance of Bitcoin media.
In general, I did take some notes of what Hurley was saying
in the before show. So I'm going to just T up early
and just get them to maybe. Maybe get on his soapbox for a
little bit. Okay, awesome.
I love it. Alright everybody no more delay.
Let's jump straight into the show.
We got a lot to talk about. Let's check it out.

best-selling author of The Big Short Moneyball.
We have the Chad sailor, of course, Alex gladstein also

code simply at the time of recording.
The Bitcoin price is twenty. Six thousand three hundred forty
five sites per dollar 3790 six block, height 780.
And nine that's an all-time high reachable.
Bitcoin node seventeen thousand ninety six blocks to having
50,000 591 having estimate April 22nd, 2024 total lightning
network capacity. 5354 Bitcoin capacity value 141 million u.s.
dollars and the realized monetary inflation, my favorite
stat out of all this. It moves ever so slowly when we
started covering this lat this that it was at one point seven
eight percent now it's at one point 75 percent and with
Bitcoin that's that is continuing to go down forever.
While the central Bankers are scrambling, just to get back at
2%. Why should money steal from you?
I think that's the big question. The market capitalization of
Bitcoin currently it's at five hundred and ten billion dollars
in the grand scheme of things. Bitcoin is still a baby in honor
of Our Guest today. I want to talk about Canada for
a second so we have BJ ditcher. He was part of the, you know,
the Canadian truckers protest. I think that was a huge moment
and In Bitcoins history. But again, we always talk about
this. We always talk about in the
future, you know. I have my I have my I have my,
my saying which is Bitcoin or slavery.
I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that the future.
We have two roads ahead of us. We have a future of Central
Bank, digital currencies. We know the current B
Administration is a huge fan of that.
They told us in the, I think it's the yearly presidential
economic report that they see the future of money in the
United States. Specifically, is a money that
comes From a central bank, a money that is issued by the
state. We had Brad Sherman saying the
quiet part out loud you know, these crypto Bros could just
create money out of thin air and you know, you know, but where
the US government we could do it too.
Well, I'm going to let's say the line that I have pinned to the
top of my Twitter. I refuse to work for money that
another man could can create for free regardless, if you're if
you're in the government, what is the government's?
Just a group of people, what gives them the privilege of just
creating money for free? We that we spend hours and hours
and hours, working for Imagine. Working for money, that no man,
doesn't matter how powerful you are.
There is a cost to make more of that money and what that is,
what the unintended consequence of that is, is it aligns the
incentives long-term anyway. So I want to read two of these
things, it's an epic thread. BJ, ditcher absolutely slays it
here. And he goes on to say, now, the
authoritative authoritarian Canadian government has just
released its Community consultation on the Bank of
Canada website, Say, the consultation includes many
leading and persuasive questions.
Aimed at promoting the adoption of a central bank.
Digital currency, I'm just going to read you a part of that
passages as however. It however it is possible that
in the future private digital currencies, you know parentheses
Bitcoin or cvtc's issued by foreign countries could be
widely used in Canada, this could compromise the central
role of the Canadian dollar and our economy.
And I mean that's one of the things that that narrative is
one of The narratives that the IMF said to write is that, you
know, specifically, when they were talking about developing
countries adopting Bitcoin, they always say the monetary
sovereignty about these. The monetary sovereignty of
these countries is at risk due to something like Bitcoin.
I don't know about you guys, you can run your own, you can run
your own Bitcoin software. You can always audit, you know
what you're running. You could also audit the supply.
Can you do the same with central bank money with state-issued
money? What sounds more private to you,
their money. Sounds a lot more private than
Bitcoin Bitcoins open. You can see everything.
It's transparent their system is opaque.
So again that's a misrepresentation that's
framing. It's really important that we
highlight this. But anyways here I think she
said the quiet part out loud and this is what they mean because
you got to connect the dots everybody.
This is what they mean. When they say that Bitcoin or
potentially a foreign cvtc could compromise Mais the central role
of the Canadian dollar. Well they said the cry part out
loud. If you guys don't remember, this
is Erica friedlin and she was the one that initially announced
which you do by her side. She announced the freezing of
Canadians bank accounts due to the Canadian trucker protest,
and she did this retroactively. Meaning it wasn't illegal to
donate to the to the trucker's protest before it would it
became illegal retroactively. I have never seen that.
For, you know, they kind of walked it back after they got a
lot of pushback. But anyways, so she goes BJ,
District goes on to say, this comes after Friedland.
The Finance Minister would zero Finance background and I'm not
going to to conspiracy theorist. Says, quote, we'd like to unlock
the savings of people's personal accounts for the pandemic
recovery. She referred to your private
savings as pre-loaded stimulus, it's not your money, right?
So you have to understand it. You have to see it from the way
that the T'rul planner, see it. That is absolutely terrifying,
right? And these are the same people
that are saying. Hey, trust us with the Central
Bank, digital currency. We're not going to use that
against you. I have the clip and then we'll
talk about it. There with this notion of the
spending, because you allude to it in your fiscal update, the
language seems to me to be important, you know, smart
targeted. These are words that suggest you
want to make very careful, kind of incisive, spending on the
government's part to get the economy going.
What might that look like? Can you give us any detail?
Well, it's great to be with you, Amanda, and I want to thank you
first of all for really zeroing in on the preloaded stimulus,
idea. None of us have a crystal So
Ball, but economists like been like Doug, have been pointing
out that some Canadian households and it tends to be
the better off households do have quite a lot of money that
they've saved because there hasn't been that much to do in
the pandemic. And certainly, it would be great
if that money could go towards driving our recovery and I want
to make an offer now to all of your listeners.
If People have ideas on how the government can act to help
unlock that pre-loaded stimulus. I am very, very interested.
Maybe as deported was suggesting it happens by itself, that's the
best-case scenario for me, but if people have ideas on how we
can really, you know, try to unleash that and particularly
unleash it in the parts of the Canadian economy that really
needs support. Tourism, Hospitality domestic
Services, let me know. What the fuck?
Particularly wealthy Canadian households that have saved their
money. Yeah, that pre-loaded stimulus.
You mean their savings their wealth that they worked for.
Please give us ideas on how to steal that money so that we can
effectively distribute it more effectively than these
individuals making their own decisions on what they should
buy and what they shouldn't buy that.
Dude, that is nuts that language to me is Crazy Hurley.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that this should come close to heart.
This is why we're here. Like this is, this is why we're
here. That's why we show up every day.
This is why we make content that video.
To me is a bit. Gave me chills.
That's absolutely absurd. She's saying the quiet part out
loud. Where that part of the movie
were the central planners these inter Interventional lists
really believe that they could do better with your money, then
you can do. Yourself.
And that is a crazy crazy world that we live in, anyways,
Hurley, what's your take? Yeah, I mean Tyler Durden and a
chat show to you. He nailed it.
Evil is talking. She she's pure evil.
I mean and a lot of the Canadian government is its I'm
embarrassed to be Canadian. This point I've went y was a
proud Canadian ever the past few years.
We've just been going down a really dark path and I mean as
is the whole world but I feel like Canada is a kind of leading
the charge in that evil. But yeah, it's just it's, I
bring it back to what you said in the beginning.
It's there's, you know, I think Steven luebke said it.
I don't know if it was yesterday or the day before.
On your show has been like a Containment Breach and all this
stuff is reaching mainstream really quickly.
I've been telling my friends and family about Bitcoin for a long
time, preaching it. My brother is, you know, it's
been frustrating trying to Orange Peel him.
He actually was the one that messaged me.
This news about the CBD. See coming up in Canada because
he's like, oh, you've been talking about this a lot look
there. You doing the CBD, see it's
like, yeah, I know, I told you it's coming.
It's, you know, I've been saying this for a long time for a
reason and it's just like, I feel like it's a, we're watching
the, the mainstream culture in real-time realize, this is
happening and it's it's it's going to get crazy and like you
say Bitcoin or like you say you go Bitcoin or slavery.
That's it's lit. It sounds a little bit crazy for
sure, but that's, that's where we're at.
That's, that's going to be the We have it.
Like are you going to accept these cdc's and total government
control of your life and you're spending even more so than you
can even imagine already with how the money is or are you
going to opt in to the free and peaceful you know alternative?
And I feel like when I guess people just have to be forced
with that option it before they actually choose the right path.
Yeah. And it's unfortunate to like
it's like it. Like people don't, you know, at
least in the developed world where the bread and circuses are
strong, the Fiat currencies are somewhat We stable where people
don't start asking questions, right?
We're seeing in the global South, massive adoption and that
adoption is happening very, very quickly.
Because the incentive is there, when you're dealing with
double-digit inflation and people like, Christina
Friedland, come on TV and they say, it's your patriotic duty to
use the state currency. After you pulling pulling up
pulling up some awesome. Awesome.
Awesome comments. You know, people have the
incentive to to seek an alternative, right?
So I'm very bullish on the global South I think
unfortunately the developed world is going to have to burn
their finger on this on the stove so to speak, before they
really start to wake up and start asking very difficult
questions. The very basic question, what is
money? Why should why does money need
to steal for me to work? I think that they've been very
successful with brainwashing. The the general populace with
this idea that somehow inflation is necessary or the world's
going to, you know, catch on fire somehow.
But, you know, I'm Bullet, Christina, in mrs.
Friedlander. And when she does these press
conferences like this is great advertising for Bitcoin.
Like this is great. Like this is she is literally
she was literally asking the public.
How if anyone has any good ideas, what to do with money?
That's not hers on how they should spend it.
Like that is absolutely insane to me.
Anyways Opti what's your take? Yeah, I mean just kind of to
jump off. Release point.
When we started saying bitcoiners slavery, it did seem
a bit hyperbolic it was just like a very good Meme and the
more we say it and the more that we just bring up the receipts
the more I can't find another way.
Like you can't convince me otherwise that it's not Bitcoin
and slavery, it is becoming very obvious that the central
planners out there want to control every aspect of you.
And I mean, what's this girl's name Freelander whatever.
Like what she say? Like, We'd like to unlock
people's savings, like what the f like pre-loaded stimulus idea
like what are these people talking about, the central
planners and disbelief and it's just some days I wake up and I'm
like, I'm just so grateful. We have Bitcoin because I luck I
like a money that no one controls.
It's a tool that every person needs to use.
Why does the government need to issue money?
Why does a small cabal of people need to control the money that
just simply brings distortion? Ins to Value across the world.
And now we have a tool that can no longer be distorted for
people's needs. And I think that's a beautiful
thing. What's the mean Bitcoin is the
metric system of value? And you know, these people can't
just steal my savings because they want to because they think
that they can control the economy better.
Like the Divide between the unproductive class that I'm
productive class is hubris, and reality is yuge right now.
Like politicians think they have a right to control everything
about you. I don't believe in this.
I I actively believe the opposite, I believe in leading
my own destiny, and if you believe in that yourself, then
you should own some Bitcoin. It's a very simple, simple
process here, there's a group of people that want to control
everything about you and then there's us bitcoiners.
They're like, wait, I can control my own destiny.
Thank you very much. I am.
I'm a human with a brain still and we all know that
keynesianism is broken. You cannot Centrally plan, a
complex economy that's just doesn't work like this as much
as these people think that they're smarter than you.
There's no way that a single small group of people can
control the best for billions of people, it just makes absolutely
no sense. So these people are just so
detached from reality. Sometimes it really does just
like hurt my head and trying to understand where they come from.
But what Tyler said, you know, evil is talking.
I guess I'm just not evil enough to get these people.
Like they are complete psycho. Pass it straight up bro.
And It's a very hard, like, it's a charge for, like, the harsh
language but like, bro, like, like there's wealthy Canadians,
that have a lot of savings and then I suspect, she used the
like, ask the crowd mechanism as like a, like, kind of like a
like trying to like, like Veil her her intentions.
Like, what do you guys think? Huh, how do we, how do we
dropped our society yet? We force people to spend their
savings, like we gotta get them to spend their savings like Who
made you the the god-king? The god Queen to give you this
power to make those types of decisions.
Let those families make those decisions, decisions themselves
and now if you incorporate Bitcoin into this now, you know,
why they're so against it, right?
Because if everyone is taking self custody of their Bitcoin,
it takes away their ability to Central plank.
It takes away their ability to steal through just direct
confiscation like they did during the truck.
Has protest or the more nefarious one, which is
inflation, right? And I think from their position
that probably freaks them, the hell out.
Anyways, this is why we're here. This was a peaceful Revolution
is all about. Anyways guys, let's jump into
the news. We got a lot to talk about.

really appreciate all the messages that we're getting.
We take time to reply to every single one of them.
Really, really appreciate you guys.
Anyways, Anyways, so we're seeing what's happening in
Canada. We know what's going on with the
B Administration, how they feel about Central Bank, digital
currencies. But what's really interesting is
that at least here in the US, this is starting to become a
kind of like a political issue. We it not only on the Republican
side we have, you know, the Robert F Kennedy jr.
Running for president current doing pretty well right
specially because he doesn't have, you know, that well-known
political track record. I think he has a Strong name
that people resonate with, he came out and said, hey I'm anti,
anti Central Bank, digital currency.
There are bad idea. They're going to be used to for
totalitarian reasons and you know he goes on, he's Pro
Bitcoin right Pros crypto. But I mean I guess it's a step
in the right direction but he has no power, right?
He's not the governor or he's not a politician at in Florida
though some breaking news and we've been covering this over
the last couple of weeks. It's finally official.
Or to Governor officially bands, Central Bank, digital currencies
in the state goes on to say, Florida.
Governor Ron DeSantis has officially banned Central Bank
digital currencies within the state.
Moreover, the legislation is set to protect Floridians from the
arrival of a Federal Reserve issued digital currency this
summer. The Governor has been outspoken,
his belief in the negative implications of a
government-controlled digital currency.
However, however, DeSantis introduced legislation against
the digital currency in March, of this year, and we've been
playing you guys, Is a lot of these, a lot of these videos,
he's really hell-bent on it. He's still in that crypto tip.
We're like, he talks about it. He's like you know, people
should be free to buy whatever cryptos and honestly as a
Libertarian, I agree. But you know if you want to buy
Doge with your hard-earned money so be it.
But you know, you're going to wreck yourself right?
Obviously, we recommend Bitcoin. It's the hardest sound is money.
The world has ever seen, its rules without rulers.
There's a cap Supply, No One controls the monetary policy,
but hey, this is a step in the right direction.
Action. And you know what?
I love the memes that he's using Big Brother's digital dollar.
This is not a Bitcoin or saying that, this is literally the
governor of a state saying that. So, I mean, I'm proud to be a
Floridian right now. This is, this is pretty awesome.
And I hope these types of things keep, keep moving, and and this
type of Direction now is, you know, is this, the end all, be
all know, but this actually puts a big wrench in in the rollout
of a CBC because they Need Congress to pass a law accepting
that meaning. They would need at least 60
votes in the Senate and they would need the house to sign off
on this as well and that makes it very, very difficult and
they're in a Race Against Time because as time progresses and
the population gets older and you know, we know that a huge
amount of Millennials and Zoomers and gen xers are holding
Bitcoin. It's going to be a political,
it's going to be, you're not I'm going to be able to defend that
politically like Elizabeth Warren is running on an anti
crypto platform right now. In five years that will be
political suicide so they're in a Race Against Time and this
just slows them down even more. They're not going to be able to
just sneak this in through the back door and I think that's
really what they had in mind. Like, I don't think they were
planning to go through through Congress to pass a central bank,
digital currency. They don't have enough political
support, right? So this is kind of like, you
know, DeSantis in Florida, kind of closing that back door and
now they have to go through Congress to pass the CBD, see
law. So anyways, really interesting
development Hurley. What's your take on?
This will pass it on top T. I mean, you got.
Yeah, like you said, you proud Floridian.
I mean, I wish I lived in Florida right now and I wish you
know you guys do a little things a little bit differently and in
the US and in Canada you guys are lucky that you have kind of
state rights and you can you can do things at the state level so
you can almost have that little a little bit of bulk and
ization. Build.
Doubt in as kind of did, you know, Society kind of fractures
from CDC and and freedom money with Bitcoin.
But in Canada, we don't have that.
It's the provincial, you know, the federal government makes the
decisions for the province's provinces don't have much
autonomy outside the federal government.
So, that's huge. I mean, I I do I'm a little bit
hesitant to trust politicians Rhonda Santos.
I mean, that's a crazy that he came out.
It actually didn't even know that that he came out in his
Banning cdc's, Who knows if he's going to be able to do that
maybe maybe they're trying to trying to make it, you know, a
partisan issue and try to cause some divided.
You know because they want to divide us on all accounts right?
And Bitcoins the bridge we got to build a bridge between like I
love how you guys spew that there's no political leaning,
you know. It's like there is no you know,
like Walker says there is no, there's no red, there is no
blue, there is a state in there is you.
So I'm apprehensive to to take anything these politicians say
sir. Originally, but it sounds pretty
damn good. I'll tell you that much.
Yeah, 100%, right. So it's a step in the right
direction and it buys us time. Most importantly, and I agree
with you. 100% can't trust these politicians but hey, what is
that? That famous quote, the enemy of
your enemy is your friend and you know at least you know this
throws a wrench at the rollout of the CBC.
And again, they are in a Race Against Time, right there in a
Race Against Time, time is not on their side, they're competing
against something that has number go up.
There's his number go up. Go down guaranteed.
Right? So like, obviously the, you
know, the winner of that race is very clear.
Opti what's your take on this? And then we're going to talk
about the Sailor. Awesome.
Yeah, I mean, well, I'm just going to kind of echo what
Hurley says, you know, got you guys know me, man.
I don't trust politicians as far as I can throw them.
So while this does feel like that's okay, that's a metaphor
YouTube. I didn't, I didn't call for
violence, I'm I'm calling for never mind.
Never mind. Does this does feel like the
political tide is changing towards Freedom.
There's something I've been seeing and maybe this is my
whole p.m. glasses and just like my hope for the good of
humanity. But it does feel like there is
still some politicians out there that are upholding the oath that
they took to get into office and that is to serve the people
versus having the people serve them and their interest.
So, you know, again like to Hurley's point, I don't know if
I can necessarily It trust the scientist.
I don't know his intentions, nor do I try to assume what his
intentions are via his actions. Though.
It does seem like he is a freedom Maxi, you know, Florida
and Texas are probably like the last two states, in America,
that that are like, very Ardent about their freedom and their
positions on this, yes, there's some other really good States
out there in the union, but this is the beauty of America, you
know, states can choose their own destiny.
And I'm I'm here for and I'm excited.
Added to see this move forward. I'm excited to see this
conversation. Continue moving out outside of
just our Bitcoin Echo chamber outside of just Liberty and
freedom circles on the internet. And I think it's only a matter
of time moving forward, that this is going to be the points
of contention. I mean in the numbers we talked
about it about Bitcoin or slavery, you know cbc's or
Bitcoin and we say it all the time it's not red or blue.
It's Orange versus green and I really liked how utterly said of
how Walker said what? It's not red or blue.
What you said. There's no blue.
There is the state and there is you.
Oh, man, I absolutely love that. I absolutely love that.
And yeah, I mean, I think this is just further receipt on the
idea that I was been talking about the last couple of days
that there is no one political faction that's out to get us
all. You know, there is warring
factions right now and everyone's buying for power.
And some people still believe in the ideals of the Constitution,
and there's others that have just been bought and paid for
by, you know, the Corporate autocracy and I think we are
just seeing this play out in real time and I really do hope
that the world wakes up to what we say all the time.
Like it really is freedom versus slavery or Bitcoin versus the
CBC system. And I think if humans are given
the option, they're always going to choose Bitcoin.
They're always going to choose freedom.
I just, I believe in humanity and human flourishing.
And this is the only way we can move forward and start to
flourish is via a money that doesn't steal from us.
It's very simple. So simple Nika.
It's so simple, it's hard. It's so simple.
People find it, find it complicated.
Anyways, you mentioned the Bitcoin, Echo chamber.
I want to talk about that today. And sailor is really, really
breaking that Echo chamber. I think the very, very big
appearance was on value, Taemin value, tainment is a 4 point, 1
million subscriber, YouTube channel, extremely mainstream.
A lot of it's a it's a finance, Finance, s, Type of, I mean the
name. It's in the name right value
tainment, enlightened entertain, and power, you know, kind of
gives Financial advice, but very mainstream, right?
This is what the mainstream is watching.
And I'm just going to read you some of these thumbnails, some
of these titles, right? They are steep quote, they're
stealing your money, Michael sailor and it goes on to say,
quote, your money will be controlled.
We'll see, BDC destroy Bitcoin. These are not again.
I can't. Besides the importance of this.
These are not bitcoiners posting these videos.
These are mainstream content creators posting these videos,
and bringing these ideas into the mainstream Consciousness and
that is extremely important in the adoption rates that we're
currently going on. However, we played this clip for
you guys or Opti played this clip for you guys a couple days
ago. So I want to talk about the
latest pod that that sailor went on.
You went on this channel called The David Lynn report and he had
some very interesting things to say.
I actually have the clip for you guys and then we're going to
talk about, let's check it out. When you lose confidence in the
money, then you start thinking about commodity monies.
If I don't, if I can't trust the bank, if I can't move the money
cross-border and if the currency is losing value every year, or
every month, then I started thinking about commodity monies.
And so the thing everybody's been talking about is one of the
commodity money's. Is it gold?
Are we going to trade oil? Are we going to move Timber
soybeans? Well, what are your choices if
you want to move ten million dollars in gold?
That's 350 pounds. So when it comes time to
actually trade 10 million dollars of gold, it's going to
cost you a quarter million dollars in insurance and
shipping fees to move 350 pounds of gold.
If I wanted to move ten million dollars of oil, that's 125
thousand, barrels of oil. That's 400,000 dollars to ship
the oil from New York to London, okay?
That doesn't make any sense. Not to mention the fact, the
average person doesn't have space for for 125 thousand,
barrels of oil, you want to move, you know, property ten
million dollars of properties in apartment building.
How do I move an apartment building from Africa to South
America to North America? That's not happening at, all
right? So what about a painting?
Okay, well, a paintings, pretty efficient, a ten million dollar
painting. The problem is its physical,
it's fragile. Is non fungible, which means
that it might burn, it might get soaked, it might get lost.
Austin might get stolen, but if it doesn't get any of those
things and you want to trade it to the rich counter party in
London, you're paying anywhere from five hundred thousand to
two million dollars. In auction fees, just to trade
10 million dollars of money in the form of a painting.
So, you know, what do we have left, right?
I mean Securities. You can't move ten million
dollars of stocks across a border because they're trapped
by the counterparty holding ten million dollars of an ETF.
F at 50 to 100 basis points. A year, is going to cost.
You five hundred thousand to a million dollars to store your
money and securities. So now you see well what's ten
million dollars? A Bitcoin 300 Bitcoin so I can
have 300 Bitcoin on a hardware wallet.
I could in theory, just remember it with the 12 word, seed
phrase, I can move it cross-border anywhere in the
world. You know, by the way, compare it
300 Bitcoin as money versus a yacht, a 10 million dollar yacht
is 125, feet long cost, two million dollars a year to
maintain and cost. You 200 thousand dollars to move
from America to Europe and about four weeks or three weeks.
So you can see all the other forms of commodity money,
they're not fast. They're, they're expensive to
maintain their physical, their fragile, their non fungible, the
fees are exorbitant. So if the world struggling for a
solution to commodity money, Bitcoin is the king commodity.
It's all right. All right now connect the dots,
right? Because this is what we like to
do on this show in the very beginning Hurley mentioned it.
Right? What is the alternative here,
right? Like, how can you try, it's not
only about storing, let's say stick ten million dollars a lot.
Let's say 100,000 right 100,000 dollar.
Is right. What better way is there to
store it? Not only store it right?
Because fine you have a hundred thousand dollars in your closet
and gold and bars which by the way as a bit corner.
I you know, II physical gold is dope like like those bars.
They're dope. I just like, I think Bitcoin is
just Superior. Like, if you have self custody
of gold bars, like, that's yours, right?
Someone has to go and like physically.
Take that away from you, right, what?
I'm not a fan of it. Is the paper gold, right?
So they say okay you own golden? Do you really own gold as your
broker show you on a fancy app that you own gold, right?
So again it's really important that these ideas that we talked
about over and over and over and over again in the Bitcoin Echo
chamber start to break out of that Echo chamber and it starts
to get talked about in the mainstream because the
mainstream. Is also seeing the clips of
Christina Friedland. They're seeing how she feels
about your money and how she's entitled how she feels entitled
to your money, to your hard work and at the same time, they're
seeing Bitcoin and they're seeing the possibilities that
Bitcoin is going to give them. It better said, the the how
Bitcoin will empower the individual, the likes of which
has never been seen before in human history.
Right? And we're Going to see.
It's like the Matrix is slowly starting to break and you know
the paths are becoming very very clear and this is something
we've been saying on this show. Really since the Inception it's
a bit off you skated right now, right, the battle lines, you
know, like you can't really see it but we're heading into a
future. Make no mistake between a
central bank digital currency future, which people like
Christina Friedland will control will pick and choose.
Hey, 15 minutes cities, don't know.
A gas stove, that's bad. You know, eat your bug, shut,
the shut the f up, oh nothing and be happy, or a Bitcoin
future, where you will, have total power over your money,
over your work and it like why like think about it like think
about how absurd that is the idea of not being able to have
total control and power over the money that you've earned, right?
That that is radical to me. Right.
But I think only Bitcoin could like if we say this all the
time, Bitcoin exposes incentives.
I think Bitcoin could could have, I think it's the only
technology that would have been able to expose the incentives of
the central planners. I don't think anything else had
that capability. I think the gold bug started the
fire, but I think gold failed because of its physical
properties. Michael sailor was saying, it's
extremely difficult to transport.
A large amount of gold, try going to CVS or Walgreens,
right? Right.
And, you know, going with the gold bar and try paying for soda
or something, you going to go a little pickaxe and Chip at it
and then the counter is going to come up with a weight behind the
counter and say, okay this is point zero zero.
Zero grams of gold were good, you know, with Bitcoin, you
know, it's eight decimal places, lightning, all this stuff, you
know? So anyways, this is, this is
extremely bullish and I'm telling you right now, I'm
telling you guys right now and this is extremely exciting
because I'm in media and I know Hurley's and media, Suspect,
within the next five years. Bitcoin content goes mainstream
the ideas of Bitcoin go mainstream.
The average everyday person will be talking about Bitcoin because
it just all roads lead to bitcoin.
I think you can't come to another outcome.
I can't, I can't wrap my head around it.
I mean, I think the shit coiners or, you know, they're kind of
Under Fire, you know, they're they're you know, whether it's
from government. Their centralized people are
waking up to it, man. I feel incredible.
Terribly bullish, it's breaking. Look at look at the look at the
the quality of speakers that are going to the Bitcoin conference.
Look at the first top of that page those aren't bitcoiners
that are talking. Those are just mainstream
popular personalities, right? Anyways, do this is so
fascinating guys. I can't believe we're here in
the movie and I'm so excited for the next cycle.
Anyways, Hurley, what are your thoughts on this?
And we'll pass it on top T. I mean, yeah, you said it all.
It's a it's a paradigm shift like I see it.
Of a gold versus Bitcoin debate going on in the chat, too.
I mean, I tell people a lot of people are like, well, what
about gold when I told my Bitcoin?
I'm like I have nothing against gold at all.
It's just it's failed as money. Like, let's be, let's be
straight up honest. You said it like it.
No one is transacting and gold It Center.
It gets centralized it, can't it.
One of the fundamental properties of money.
It can't fulfill, it can't be transported across space, that's
why Bitcoin was invented and it's going to take time for
mainstream human psyche to Kept something that's isn't tangible.
I think people have a really hard time with that.
Even you know, young children, if you give them some shiny
rock, or I've got Bitcoin right here, they would choose the
Shiny Rock, right? Because it's we live in the
physical world, right? So, it takes a little bit to get
there, but I mean, as bitcoiners know, once you see it, you can't
unsee it. And it's just so obvious.
And I think and I think, you know, a lot of people get
confused when we say Bitcoin is inevitable.
But really what we mean by that is the only thing.
We need to rely on for Bitcoin to take over the world is too.
Is that is to basically bet on human incentives to stay the
same for humans to continue to Value storing their wealth,
through time and not being stolen from and and being able
to actually own something. So I mean it's it I feel like
it's inevitable in that regard if you believe that humans are
going to stay this as you know, we're not going to all of a
sudden change and not value like holding our labor through.
I'm in space and, and being able to store it without anyone
taking it from us, then Bitcoin will fail.
But, I mean, it's in my mind, it's completely inevitable and
it's going to take over the mainstream.
I think it's this next will run for sure.
I mean it already is it's it's basically a right out, right?
Right on the edge of the me of being completely in the
mainstream lexicon and it's coming 100% Opti.
What's your take on this brother?
Yeah, I mean hey Nika you and I talked about this basically
every single day whether on Air or off are about the very real
need to break out of the Bitcoin, Echo chamber, and kudos
to sailor for doing that same thing.
Like guys, I know I know our audience is mainly just
bitcoiners and we definitely tailor our show to just
bitcoiners but if we really are going to spread this Bitcoin
signal to every single person in the world, then I think it is
very important for all of us to spread our spheres of influence
to everything that We're interested in everyone around
the world needs a better money, they just don't know it yet.
And as a Bitcoin ER we have the tool, we have the asymmetric
knowledge to help everyone around the world live, a better
life. And I think most people are
searching just for that very thing to live a better life, and
it starts with saving, it starts with having something that a
small Kabbalah people can't steal from you.
For, and we have that technology, we have the freedom
tools and it's Bitcoin. And it starts with just getting
Bitcoin into as many people's hands as possible, it starts
with planting and accepting the ideas of freedom of what we talk
about here every single day. And it's just in very important
for all of us to cross. Pollinate the Bitcoin message
into everything we do. Because, what's, what's the
Austrian economics meme? It's like money is half of one,
half of every transaction in the world.
And guys, what do we say all the time, you know, fix the money,
fix the world. We have the better way to
transact in a digital world, you know.
Like I love gold, you know, I wear gold, I have a gold
necklace but it failed as money II, like I said all the time and
Nico he's clumsy. I can't wait till gold gets
completely demonetized so I can be as God as possible and put it
everywhere. You know, I am not the, you
know, I want Gold Everywhere. It makes me feel good, but I
understand, but I understand that it's just not, it's not the
money for the digital world. I really like how Hurley Hurley
framed it as well and it's the idea of what is mine.
Supposed to do it supposed to store value through time and
through space. Gold did well to store value
through time, but it failed storing value through space and
we have Bitcoin and, you know, not to get not to get on
Sailors, think boy level. But what what's he say?
Bitcoin has dematerialized value in the digital world, or I
forget how he says it. But I think that Bitcoin being
intangible is, is one of the Key features of it.
We live in a digital world and you can transact in this modern
world final settlement in in 10 minutes or less.
And you can't do that with any other currency with any other
store of value in the world. And this is why Bitcoin will
win. It's just only a matter of time
until everyone wakes up to these ideas and pushing what we know
to be the truth, not in a forceful way.
But in a way that incentivizes people to adopt a better money
is We wind. So it's a pain, every single one
of us to talk to people everyday people, and try to get them to
understand why we Bitcoin. And again, one of my friends
said it best a couple weeks ago, it's never been easier.
Just look outside, go outside, get off the Black Box, get off
the black screen and go talk to people and they are already
talking about the things we talked about.
They're feeling the pain of inflation.
They're seeing people, their favorite celebrities, get the
platform. They're, they're afraid of their
money in Banks. I brought up the poles, the
yeah, the poles, the other day, and the statistics, I think it's
like half of the American population is afraid of their
money in a bank. It's never.
We've never had a raipur soil, to orange pill people than we do
now. And it's just like, we need to
get off the internet and started talking to normal people.
It's upon all of us. He and hey, you know, I'm saying
that as someone that talks to mainly bitcoiners on the
internet, I get it, I get it. But breaking out of our Echo,
chamber is priority. Number one as far as I'm
concerned, 100%. Alright guys, so we talked about
the sailors talking about, you know, writing down these 12
words and, you know, all this stuff will do, you want to make
it across the Finish Line? You don't want to store your
generational wealth on paper. Your dog could eat it.
It's a bad idea. You want to store your
generational wealth on steel. This is the bit plates, Domino.
It's easy to use. It's hard to destroy bit plates.

We got a lot to talk about. The daily culture brought to you
by Swan Bitcoin.com, Swan is the best way to build your Bitcoin

talking about today brother? Yeah, well I did.
I did search for Hurley's Twitter.
I do have some tweets over here but I really want to talk about
what you were saying before the show, and it's the idea and the
importance of Bitcoin media and I like how you framed, it about
go meet other bit Corners, create collaborate, spread the
signal and I think this is a great way to start considering
what Just talking about. So maybe give the people a
little rehash of what you told us before and well continue on
the conversation for sure. Yeah, I mean I think the main
message I would have is to is to meet other bitcoiners.
I basically had, you know, I really wanted to I saw like I
come from a traditional kind of TV, film background.
And I saw probably 20 21. I was like, man, there's really
a whole in Bitcoin media, like, you know, films and
entertainment. YouTube was just like just
filled with shit. Coins.
And like, I mean, besides simply Bitcoin, like there wasn't a
lot, you know, this Wanda coin Channel obviously, but it so I
was like, I need to start a YouTube channel.
I need to start making Bitcoin content right away.
I was like, this is this is what I need to do.
I, you know, I you know, passionate about Bitcoin
education so I went to a Bitcoin meet up thinking you know that's
that's meet some other bitcoiners insert passionate out
and the very first Bitcoin me up.
I went to in Toronto I met Tomer Stroh light who know who's
That's one as well and Matt Hornick, and they just so happen
to be working on bitcoin film called Bitcoin is generational
wealth. And they said, we need an editor
and I was an editor and it was like, okay, let's do it.
So from that, that that basically snowballed into me
getting the job of Swan and, and working with all these amazing
bitcoiners such an amazing team on since one media.
And I just think that there are such, you know, this culture
like, you know, we like to complain about how Fiat culture
is all broken and it's You know, the incentives are all messed up
and you know there's all this rot and Corruption and it's like
if we want if we want to if we want to create the world, the
bright orange future that we see we need to start creating it.
So it's like getting, you know, meeting other bitcoiners
co-creating with them and enjoy doing stuff, like, doing art
like what brekkie are you know at Swan is doing with his
sculptures is proof of work sculptures which are amazing.
It's like it's like we slowly To shape the culture into how we
want it to be if we want, you know.
And so ignoring the noise ignoring all the all the just
all, the, all the noise, the clown World stuff.
Like I think that that's, that's been a big part of my 2023 is
like, I'm unfollowing all the accounts on my Twitter that that
talk about the culture war and about all this stuff that, you
know, makes you angry and makes, you know, the algorithms won't
want you to be mad, right? And a big part of that was going
on Noster and realizing like, man, I'm not mad but I do One
nostril. Why is that right?
The algorithms aren't? They're hijacking, your dopamine
receptors and your emotions. So it's just, you know, we need
to, we need to cut out the noise and create the world that we
want to see. And a big part of that is
meeting up with other people, finding a tribe, finding a tribe
of a community of people that feel the same way as you and
co-creating with that, we are creators people.
I think that's a big part about Fiat culture, we forget that we
were just so, you know, We rely on the state to do everything
for us and we just feel powerless.
I get that, you know, Bitcoin cured my nihilism.
And I really do see that now that I was I was nihilistic all
throughout my 20s and you know, my early 30s even until I found
Bitcoin and so being awake to the creators that we are in
co-creating with other bitcoiners is the way that we
fix the culture. That's the way we do it.
Absolutely love it bro. I couldn't have said it better
myself. Hold on, you going I'm needed.
I'm tearing a little bit. That was, that was those?
That was beautiful. Absolutely love it.
I couldn't agree more and Hurley, you said something in
there and you said it. Again before we started it's the
idea. And I think a lot of big Corners
don't realize there's or maybe they do subconsciously, but I
really like how you frame it, like we are on the Forefront of
a new culture and I don't think people really realize that or
they just take it lightly and I 100% agree with you.
And this is why I'm always Always saying in Twitter spaces
on the show as much as possible. It's like guys become the
shining example of being a big Corner, live a good life, and
this is how we spread the message and and it's what you
said, like, we are creating the culture in real-time.
And I think more people should at least acknowledge that very
basic premise. Like we are creating the new
culture for the world in real time.
Yeah, it's really easy to get caught up in an angry at the way
the world is I've been there like I've kind of been in that
dark area where it's it can be a little bit just you know,
depressing and but I feel like you know, once you find the
light at the other end and Bitcoins a big part of that you
realize that that focusing on focusing on the positive and and
and just like just the world that you want to just cut out
the noise and live the life that you want to live, you know,
don't get mad about micro people are micromanaging, the lives.
Or the way that they're you know all the little things with the
culture war is just is just cut it out and and create we create
art create beautiful things. Yeah yeah basically repeating
myself but you get what? I absolutely love it.
Alright let's pull up some of these tweets over here cuz I
might we see ya some of your tweets Nico and I are also
fellow Millennials and I really like this.
Very simple tweet Millennials unite Mika says it all the time
and I think He wasn't the first one to kind of paint it like
this but Millennials I think we might be one of the poorest
generations and I you know I know I felt the pain and Bitcoin
gave me that optimism to like wait I do have a new future just
because I'm stacking Bitcoin. So if there is some Millennials
out there that are just by chance, finding the channel,
what would be your pitch to them if they are critical or
skeptical of Bitcoin? I mean, yeah, that's it.
That's a great question. Just learn about it.
I mean, that's what I try to. I try to tell people that it's
easier said than done. Right?
You're like I mean for me there was such a there was for me when
I fell down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole there was there was that
Curiosity because I was right around late 2020 when the price
was rising up and just surpassed its all time, high of 20,000.
And I was like, what the hell is this thing?
You know, it was like my third touch point.
It was, you know, I think in 2017 I work for a company.
And a lot of the people are invested in it, they were like
oh it crashed and they were all upset because they lost a bunch
of money and I was like, oh it's I guess it's dead or whatever
and then it was then that it was there was just this deep
curiosity for me. What the hell is this thing and
why why are people valuing it as at twenty thousand dollars per
unit? I was like I thought this was
just some makeup made up internet thing and so I just I
just like I just want people to be curious again and ask
questions and, you know, a big part of a Bitcoin I find is when
I went down. The rabbit holes is the Is is
just the it's like the personal responsibility is huge.
I feel like it's like the secret sauce to everything that's going
on here because a lot of people just don't want they they're
just so used to not having to make decisions for themselves
and not have to research their own stuff, not have to do any of
that Bitcoin teaches you from the ground up of personal
responsibility. And so it's just yeah, it's just
getting people to take responsibility for their life
be, you know. It's like if something bad
happens in your life for something, you know, it's
there's this mentality to like blame other people there.
Blame everyone. But yourself or it's like you
are the one that did it, you're like you create your reality.
So you're in your, it's like the buck stops at you.
So what I would say to say to Millennials is like, you know, I
think the best way to approach it is to be like what like you
know don't even talk about Bitcoin, talk about what like
why I like. Does it make sense in a world
where you know, like Chicago Chef boots says in a world
where, you know, technology is improving Our Lives, should our
life beginning easier. Why is everything getting more
expensive? What you know, why are we
falling further and further behind them working harder and
harder. And in and I think that like
like just a book ends at the top of the show you were talking
about Nikko that this Containment Breach is happening.
This this is reaching the, the mainstream lexicon or people are
are talking about inflation to you.
People are talking about what is money, people are talking about,
not being able to afford homes, and it doesn't make any sense.
And, why can't they just print money out of nowhere?
That doesn't make any sense. So I think starting In there and
getting people to do their own work to dig through the rabbit
hole and and find their own. You know, personal
responsibility is this key is the key.
Yeah, 100%. And I do agree with you as well
that you know the the the Matrix is starting to break and you
know, very proud to say known and Hurley you're in the
trenches with me, right? It's like, you know, in a way we
Bitcoin media, you know, and Shout Out Of course.
Legends that really were here. You know, whether you know, is
citizen Bitcoin Brady, you know, TFT.
See you know these guy stuff on the Vera, right?
It really were making content when people forget but they
would be coin content exists, you know when they started this,
you know, and then seeing how far it's progressed.
And now we're like reaching this Crossroads where the stuff that
you're talking about is affecting Everyday, people, like
they're seeing it like, it was, it went from theoretical to
like, holy crap. Now, this is happening before my
eyes, the last full cycle, it was a public company taking the
Bitcoin risk, which is Michael sailor.
He's been Vindicated, I might add nine buchelli on the nation
state level the next cycle. It's going to reach a point
where it's like, it will be irresponsible as a public
company, not to have Bitcoin on your Your balance sheet, it will
be irresponsible as a small nation state or a nation state
in general not to have some exposure to bitcoin.
I mean, look at Bhutan, Bhutan didn't say anything that, you
know, they have, you know, they weren't vocal about it on
Twitter. They didn't say anything.
They got, you know, the Celsius bankruptcy expose that they had
a lot of Bitcoin and they're like, okay, you know what?

Bitcoin. Where mining a lot of it. 500
million dollar investment. We have a high, a lot of
hydroelectric. Power you guys could go fuck

He said decided to get on a Harley and travel across the
country and go to all these different Bitcoin meetups.
And, you know, he realized that these were his people and he
wanted to meet with these people and oceans did an amazing job on

everything exactly behind our Anton accounts.
But it right everything it's like using but Like using your
your skills to, you know, further this message, right?
And that's that's the way I look at it.
It's like I know how to storytelling and edit, so it's
like, I need to make Bitcoin educational content.
That's that's what we do. Yeah, 100%, this is narrative.
Trench warfare memes are memes or what is it Opti?
Tweets are bullets and memes are artillery.
Alright, everybody, let's jump straight into the meme review.
The daily meme review brought to you by Kaboom racks.
I get this question all the time.

Kaboom, kaboom Like the it's so funny so lofty and I we did a
live show at the mining conference and I don't know what
it was. It was Alex from Kaboom racks or
they had a big presence there and the entire conference.
It was just stuck in my head and I just kept repeating a kaboom
x0. And then Opti showed me how to

Just to see your memes on the show.
And as Nico always says, and he said it already tweet to the
bullets. Memes are the artillery guys?
We are in an information war and chance out the Hurley as well
for putting his hat in the ring and spreading the Bitcoin signal
using his skills to get the Bitcoin message out there
because that's really all we're doing here.
Guys is just trying to wake up people to the idea that Bitcoin
is a better way to transact in the modern world.
The best way to save and build yourself a future.
I saw someone in the chat. I think it was this guy.
Oh, mad. Shouts out to you.
He's like yeah, I am 60 years old.
Old and Bitcoin is the only reason why I've been able to
save. I am half your age and it's also
the only reason why I was able to say.
Anyways, let's get into these memes.
The first one is by romolo romolo, the Bitcoin Journey
looks like this. And it got its it's an XY axis
here kind of, but with some charts and it goes allocation
and knowledge. The Bitcoin allocation in your
portfolio, reflects your level of understanding.
And we got the first step where you just got little bit of
Bitcoin and then you get more knowledgeable and you got a lot
more Bitcoin. And then you're one of you guys
out there watching this show and you're all in on bitcoin because
you just understand, it's the best way to save.

downward spiral and then we have the Bitcoin cycle which is up

perfect. Alright anyways anyways it

fatherly advice for me and the father goes, yeah, don't try to
