1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,520 It's all going to zero against Bitcoin. 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,440 It's. Going up forever. 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:23,800 You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom because 4 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,400 they, well, because they want to sell. 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,640 It eventually Michael. I mean let's be honest most of 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520 the people who are, yes sure some people pass it on to their 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,320 children, but like most of the people who are buying assets at 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000 some point want to sell the assets at a profit. 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,080 So let. Me say it differently. 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,840 People that use Fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,280 for them. We call them poor. 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Simply Bitcoin Live number one 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,800 source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution. 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,280 Code breaking News Culture, Matic Warfare. 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,400 We will be your guide through the separation of money and 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,920 state. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,600 the most watched daily Bitcoin live show on YouTube, Rumble NX. 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Welcome to simply Bitcoin. I just look, I I mean Michael 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960 Saylor is not only talking the talk, right? 20 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:08,640 So we played you guys that clip. When it broke, you know, it 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,400 literally broke the Internet, Broke Bitcoin. 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,480 Twitter better said we are still in our echo chamber even though 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560 we're breaking through it. But also something to keep in 24 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,960 mind is that not only does he talk the talk, he walks the 25 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,760 walk, he doubled down, he continued. 26 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,560 He continues his speculative attack on the dollar micro 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,160 strategy announced literally like two days after they 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560 announced their first proposal. But they just announced a new 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,040 proposed private offering of $500 million of convertible 30 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,760 senior notes. This is an addition to the 800 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,080 million UH offering of convertible notes, which they 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,280 offered in the same week. And by the way, so it was they 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,760 are he offered the $800 million offering. 34 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,200 He had that media interview and then the next day they announced 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,080 the $500 million offering. Michael Saylor what an absolute 36 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,199 Chad. Not only talking the talk but 37 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,400 walking the walk and this is a speculative attack on the 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,040 dollar. Like it's it's it's crazy that 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,520 he continues to do this. But I mean look he's very, very 40 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,240 convinced and he's very convicted as we all because we 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,520 know that Bitcoin is you know the best money that has ever 42 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,640 existed in the history of mankind. 43 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,560 Also breaking news, Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto ruled by 44 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,080 a judge and the the summary was it was there is there's nothing 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,560 open to interpretation anymore. I'll read you guys the exact 46 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,800 quote from the judge when we get to the new segment, but 47 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,040 basically said, look, you did not write the white paper, you 48 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280 did not invite, you did not invent this technology. 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,680 This is vindication for not only Peter McCormack but also our boy 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,600 the space cat Hodlenaut that have been persecuted by Craig 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Wright and Co in order to silence them for for, you know, 52 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040 basically saying that he isn't Satoshi. 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,920 I mean Satoshi that invented Bitcoin, right? 54 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,920 Or discovered Bitcoin. However which way you want to 55 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,960 see it. You would think that you know 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,480 unsensible money. You would. 57 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:24,240 And you'd think that the creator of unsensible money would use 58 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,680 the state would use law fair to try to silence someone else. 59 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,000 I mean you know it doesn't quite make sense. 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,960 So this is, you know. Again shout out to Hodelna and 61 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,760 McCormack. They were attacked financially 62 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880 millions of dollars in legal fees. 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,160 So for them to finally be vindicated, this is a, this is a 64 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,720 this is a big win for Bitcoin and big win for Bitcoiners, 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,320 right? I, I, I, I, I believe that you 66 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440 know Craig Wright was an enemy of Bitcoin. 67 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,880 You know, attacking fellow Bitcoiners, you know for for 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 differences of opinion and then trying to use law fair to 69 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,400 silence them. That's not cool. 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,240 So we'll get to that also. And then I also want to focus on 71 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,520 the so-called TikTok ban bill. There's two sides to this, 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,680 right? So we're going to talk about 73 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520 that and I'm going to connect it with what's happening in Canada. 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,120 Supposedly, there's a draft Canada law that Wood Forest 75 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,800 social media companies to quickly remove harmful content. 76 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Now the problem with this is who gets to determine what harmful 77 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000 content is, right? So let's say you're the 78 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,680 political party in power and your political opponents are, 79 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,400 you know, posting some things that perhaps make you look bad. 80 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,840 You could say that's harmful content. 81 00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,480 They've done that in the past before, right? 82 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,840 You've heard this with, you know, the whole hate speech, 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,400 misinformation. You've heard these things 84 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760 before. And that's exactly why, you 85 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,280 know, the 1st Amendment is structured, how the 1st 86 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,840 Amendment is structured in the United States. 87 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,600 Because the Founding Fathers realize that, like look, if 88 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,800 government gets to decide what speech is acceptable and what 89 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,000 speech is not acceptable, government is going to use that 90 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,240 as a political Moat to protect themselves. 91 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,800 So very interesting discussion. And of course we have two 92 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,600 legendary bitcoiners. Also because of mine of course 93 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,600 about BJ Ditcher and Brandy Brandon Gentle. 94 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,360 They are the host of the Political Bitcoin Hour Twitter 95 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Spaces.

But what started this 228 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,720 revolution? What started the fire, right? 229 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,840 What kindled that fire? What started it? 230 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,040 It was the Internet in the Internet. 231 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,720 What? What the Internet did, What the 232 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,960 Internet enabled individuals to do, is basically circumvent the 233 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,680 gatekeepers of information. It disintermediated information. 234 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040 It democratize the process of broadcasting, right? 235 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,800 So all of a sudden this in exists. 15 years ago, any person 236 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280 could buy themselves a microphone and a camera, create, 237 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,840 you know, an account on the multiple different platforms. 238 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,280 Now you can, you know, create an account on Noster and you 239 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,880 literally can't be banned. Period. 240 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,480 Right. And you could broadcast to the 241 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,840 world directly, peer-to-peer, right? 242 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,560 So I can broadcast to you. I can make my thoughts known, my 243 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,720 speech known, and, you know, can't really do anything about 244 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360 it. The governments are having a 245 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,040 hard time doing something about it. 246 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,800 And of course, it's kind of like throwing them into a frenzy 247 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,560 because they've been used to operating in a world where 248 00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,560 there's been a handful of legacy media institutions. 249 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,480 And you know, there's been many, many examples throughout history 250 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,240 where those legacy media institutions that you, you know, 251 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,120 would trust, so to speak, it's come out that they weren't 252 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,320 exactly so truthful. And that's why I believe you 253 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,360 have, you know, the most popular broadcasters in the world are 254 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,880 not legacy media. They're individuals like Joe 255 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,320 Rogan. They're individuals like Tucker 256 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,080 Carlson, of course. And you can make, you can make 257 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,240 the case that they're exactly not that, that you know, they 258 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,520 have their own biases. But I would like to believe that 259 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,320 in a world where everyone is able to speak their mind, let 260 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,080 the free market of ideas get to decide, you know, what ideas are 261 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,400 good and what ideas are bad. I don't think, you know, got 262 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,280 powerful government bureaucrats should be, should have a 263 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,280 monopoly on that. Anyways, So, look, so with 264 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880 everything I just said, connect it with this, right? 265 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440 And you know, of course, Joe Biden, current president of the 266 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,440 United States, he grew up in a world where, you know, there was 267 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200 only a handful of legacy media institutions, right. 268 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160 So, you know, they're able to get away with stuff like this. 269 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,400 So let's check out what he has to say. 270 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040 So now we have among the lowest inflation rates of any country 271 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,640 in America. And still we're still fighting 272 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,760 to lower it even further. So like not to mention the fact 273 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920 that you can't really understand what he's saying, right. 274 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,280 We have one of the lowest inflation rates of any country 275 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,040 in America. I mean so first of all, the 276 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,360 actual statement itself doesn't really make sense. 277 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,000 And then the, the other statement which is the idea of 278 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,200 like, OK, yes, the, the inflation has been lowered. 279 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,040 OK, great. But just because inflation, the, 280 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,040 the, the rate of which your money is losing purchasing power 281 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,480 is decreasing, that doesn't necessarily equate to prices 282 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,960 going back down to where they were before the spending spree 283 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,880 that was justified because of the pandemic, right. 284 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,960 And of course they blame the war and they blame the supply chains 285 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,640 and they blame everything in their mother, right. 286 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,200 So yes, they're able to kind of get away with a lot of these, 287 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,640 you know, a lot of these things because again, they've been used 288 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,160 to somewhat controlling the the information rails. 289 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,320 And then this leads me to my other point, right. 290 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,400 So governments all around the world in, in the, in, in the EU, 291 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,840 in Canada and the United States are kind of trying to do 292 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,400 something about, I mean again, it's kind of like a losing 293 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,320 battle, right? The the best you know, quote 294 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360 that comes to mind is you can't stop by an idea whose time has 295 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,880 come. You know, the printing press and 296 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,760 how that completely changed everything. 297 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040 The Internet's changed everything, right? 298 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840 But of course the old world is adjusting to that. 299 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,800 There's a bit of a, there's a little bit of chaos because of 300 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,600 that. But this is one of the latest 301 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,480 attempts and this is kind of scary, right? 302 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120 And if you pull up like CNN or something on Instagram in 303 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,400 Canada, it will literally tell you, like we can't show you this 304 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160 because of some like Law and count, which is absolutely crazy 305 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,880 that we live in this type of world. 306 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,840 But anyways, the headline of this article is Canada Law Woods 307 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,440 for social media companies to quickly remove harmful content. 308 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,240 Who gets to decide what is harmful content? 309 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,960 And bringing this back to United States, yesterday the so-called 310 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,880 TikTok ban, the TikTok, the TikTok bill was passed and here 311 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,720 is Representative Mike Gallagher. 312 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200 And by the way, this was a bipartisan thing. 313 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480 So this is Republicans and Democrats. 314 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,560 And you know, here's a quote that he said during his speech. 315 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,800 He said becoming the dominant because TikTok was becoming the 316 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,880 dominant news platform for Americans under 30. 317 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,480 Now of course, there's two sides to this and I'll get to it, but 318 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,160 I'm going to get to the Bitcoin side 1st and then I'll pass it 319 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,880 on to BJ to talk about the other side, the other perspective. 320 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,359 So here's CK he was the, the he was, he was basically running 321 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,920 Bitcoin Magazine for a while. Now he's with the Human Rights 322 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,440 Foundation. He said this tiktok ban is a 323 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,680 wolf in sheep's clothing. It's more about control than it 324 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,640 is about Tiktok. Here's Odell. 325 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,320 This is a screenshot from Noster. 326 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,680 I'm assuming this is the primal app. 327 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,640 He says the Tiktok ban bill going through Congress right now 328 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,960 will give government insane power to restrict speech. 329 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,440 At the same time, Section 230 protections are about to be 330 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,920 neutered by the Supreme Court, which will add an insane amount 331 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,480 of liability to centralized platforms, inevitably increasing 332 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,680 censorship. Restricting free speech in 333 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,760 America has bipartisan support among our corrupt political 334 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,000 class. Noster is about to have its 335 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,880 moment to shine. We need to be ready for billions 336 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,560 of new users. So I think that's a really good 337 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,240 point from Odell. But BJ, we were talking kind of 338 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,200 before you had a little bit of a little bit of a different kind 339 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,840 of perspective on the on the TikTok bill because again, it's 340 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,080 not so black and white, right, Tiktok, You know guys, if you 341 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,880 ever go on a shorts feed on YouTube on Tiktok, before you 342 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,080 know it, you've lost like 30 or 40 minutes of your time it the 343 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,680 platforms are literally like designed to hijack your dopamine 344 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,160 receptors and you just to start scrolling. 345 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,680 Now the problem is that the content of which they show in 346 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,200 China is actually like productive content, right? 347 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,280 It's like it's wholesome content. 348 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,080 It like it encourages you to, you know, go and, you know, do 349 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,880 exercise and do this. And you know, you could say that 350 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,960 the content here in the US isn't exactly, you know, the 351 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,440 healthiest content for, you know, the younger generation to 352 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,600 consume. So I I see kind of two points 353 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,680 here. BJ point #1 is OK. 354 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,600 I, you know, I wouldn't put it past the government that is 355 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,920 definitely feeling the pain of social media and getting, you 356 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,280 know, fact checked in real time and people talking peer-to-peer. 357 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,760 I wouldn't put put it past the government to take advantage of 358 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,440 all these parents up in arms to, you know, pass a bill that, you 359 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,600 know, gives the executive branch this crazy power just to kind 360 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,880 of, you know, restrict certain types of websites, like you 361 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,120 said. But at the same time, like, I 362 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:44,880 don't think that the CCP has the best interests of, you know, of 363 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,160 the American public, right. You could even say they're 364 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,800 adversaries. So BJ, what's your, what's your 365 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,880 thoughts on all this, you know, the censorship of speech and. 366 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080 And again guys, this is a Bitcoin show. 367 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,920 The freedom of speech is the frontline for the battle for 368 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,440 Bitcoin. If if you don't think that 369 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,880 they're going to be OK with you speaking freely, they're 370 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,120 definitely not going to be OK with you transacting freely. 371 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,240 BJ. Wow, that's a lot to uncover in 372 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,640 just a couple of minutes, but I'll try to make it short. 373 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,840 I mean, look, I am as free speech, anti censorship, 374 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,480 absolutist, as humanly possible. As you know, I had all my bank 375 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,240 accounts frozen, my credit cards, my lines of credit, 376 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,560 absolutely everything frozen because of the of our desire to 377 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,840 speak and speak out against what the Trudeau government was 378 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,520 doing. And by the way, it's not just 379 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,640 the Trudeau government. It's not about left or right. 380 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,760 This is about top versus bottom. The political establishment who 381 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,840 thinks they're living in the 1960s of unidirectional media 382 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,280 and they don't want to engage in the open discourse and debate 383 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,440 with bi directional media, which is the nature of the world that 384 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,480 we live in today. Now I think we're conflating. 385 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,640 I mean, there's a lot of nuance here, but I think we're 386 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,520 conflating 2 separate things. So firstly, on the TikTok side, 387 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,880 I'm very sympathetic. I think we all are. 388 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,920 Those of us who understand, who have a background in 389 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,400 communications, some degree of persuasion and marketing, that 390 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,120 TikTok has been turned into a cyber weapon within the US and 391 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,720 it targets younger people who are easily brainwashed and 392 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,240 influenced. That's why TikTok is banned 393 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,760 within China. So it's banned within their own 394 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,360 jurisdiction, but they're utilizing it for degeneracy. 395 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,920 Here I have a sister-in-law who is very high up in public health 396 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760 and she was telling me over, you know, they have Christmas 397 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:38,960 dinner. So over their Christmas dinner 398 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,240 she says to me, you wouldn't believe when we see the text 399 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,240 messages from kids in middle school, she said, you know what 400 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,640 they talk about? And I said no, she said. 401 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,640 They obsess over one thing and one thing only, their gender. 402 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,680 They don't know if they're a boy. 403 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,920 They don't know if they're a girl. 404 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,400 Their gender fluid. Should they change their gender? 405 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,840 Should they get puberty blockers? 406 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,080 Where can I get puberty blockers without my parents knowing? 407 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,440 She said. It's bored. 408 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,280 It's on the point that it is obsessive behavior, she said. 409 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840 They don't talk about cars, They don't talk about sports. 410 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,600 They don't talk about dolls. They don't talk about the things 411 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,760 that kids would traditionally have spoken about at that age in 412 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,240 previous generations, so that needs to be addressed. 413 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,880 However, what we've seen once again the political class 414 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,920 stabbing all of us in the back by inserting a poison pill in 415 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,720 this bill which gives the President absolute powers for 416 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,160 censorship. Which I'm not in favour of 417 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,880 either and I'm. I'm really shocked and surprised 418 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,080 that it went through with the poison poison pill on the 419 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,280 Canadian side for the Online Harms bill or the Online Harms 420 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,360 Act. What that is, it is not yet 421 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,200 passed. I think it went through first 422 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,920 reading, if I'm not mistaken. Remember, you have a 423 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,160 parliamentary process. It is designed for obviously for 424 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480 people online, not limited to online, and this is what it 425 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560 says. There's two aspects that are 426 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,600 very, very dangerous of this. OK, very short. 427 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,960 It says section 320.1001. Everyone who can. 428 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,120 Anyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act 429 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:20,480 of Parliament, if the Commission of the offence is motivated by 430 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,520 hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, 431 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,080 religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sex 432 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,640 orientation or gender ideology, ideology or expression, is 433 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,960 guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment 434 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:50,400 for life for life, which is 25 years under Canadian law. 435 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,680 This is the part that Scott Adams read a few days ago. 436 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,120 Then there's another aspect to it, very important, that ties 437 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:03,680 into it very short 810.012. A person may, with the Attorney 438 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,840 General's consent, lay an information before a provincial 439 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,960 Court judge. If the person fears on 440 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,480 reasonable grounds, whatever that is, then another person 441 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,080 will commit an offence under section 318 or any of its 442 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,080 subsections. An offence under section 320. 443 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,360 What does that mean? That means, Nico, I think you 444 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:39,640 might commit some hate speech in the future that I find 445 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,440 offensive. So I'm going to drag you to not 446 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,320 the regular court system, but the Human Rights Commission, 447 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,440 which Jordan Peterson made very famous. 448 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,800 It's a parallel court system, not based on objective facts, 449 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,200 but based on feelings and emotions, not ruled on by a 450 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,480 judge, but by a justice of the peace. 451 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,480 And it's all subjective and I can in the past, many comedians 452 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,480 have been dragged through the Human Rights Commission and then 453 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,960 issued fines. But Section 17 was removed about 454 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,520 10 years ago. They want to bring it back and 455 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,160 give the Human Rights Commission the power of imprisonment for 456 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,200 life for saying something that somebody doesn't like. 457 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,880 I think those that is very, very overwhelming. 458 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,840 And that's also separate from the the TikTok issued. 459 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,600 Have I made like my case out well? 460 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,640 100% you. You laid it out in such an 461 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,560 amazing manner. And just to give that context 462 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,160 and you know, I was basically trying to paint an overall kind 463 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,760 of overarching, overarching narrative just to kind of show 464 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,080 everyone where we are in history and the separation of money and 465 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,040 state, the great disintermediation that was 466 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,000 caused by the Internet. But you really dug deep into the 467 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,200 details and the the nuances of both those elements. 468 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,560 I really, really appreciate that BJ. 469 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,560 But yeah, man, this is go ahead. What happens when Bitcoin is 470 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,040 considered far right hate speech? 471 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,840 Oh, Nico wanted to teach me about Bitcoin. 472 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,840 He wanted to recruit me into hate speech. 473 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,080 He should be arrested. Let's take him in front of the 474 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,400 Human Rights Tribunal A. 100% And then you know what, what, 475 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,680 what, when are they going to say that? 476 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,520 You know and you're already starting to see this. 477 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,200 And I don't know if we're going to have time to cover this today 478 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,400 guys, but we're going to cover it on Friday at least. 479 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,600 But some news coming out of Nigeria, Nigerian authorities 480 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,800 blame Binance for the 70% Naira devaluation and move to issue 481 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,680 arrest warrant against CEO and some other news. 482 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,840 Also JP Morgan Bitcoin surge could raise concerns at the Fed. 483 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,440 So you kind of see where this is going, right? 484 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:56,800 Where they will use Bitcoin as the excuse as to why Fiat is 485 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:03,520 failing, the excuse as to why the welfare state is breaking 486 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,760 down. And you can see them going after 487 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,720 Bitcoiners. Right. 488 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,360 And this is something again, that it it, it's not only you 489 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:15,040 kind of start to see the ominous clouds in the distance, but this 490 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,640 is something that was predicted in the book, the sovereign 491 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,800 individual, right. You know, if you have people 492 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,640 that have been living in, in this world for in this very 493 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240 specific type of world for a very long time. 494 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,200 Right. So yeah, BJ, thank you so much 495 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,320 for breaking down the nuances and the details, but this is 496 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520 what it's all about, guys. Keep up the pressure. 497 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,520 Your #1 weapon and all this is, this is not a kinetic war. 498 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,120 Your #1 weapon here is just the truth. 499 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:44,000 You know, get people informed. Because the reality is that a 500 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,360 lot of these politicians take advantage of a lot of people 501 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,480 that perhaps are not informed, like they're not fully aware of 502 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,440 what is actually going on. They're still consumers of of 503 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,560 what I call the controlled media. 504 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,720 Anyways, I'm gonna pass it on to Brandon. 505 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,080 Brandon, what are your thoughts on this? 506 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,680 Your guy, you guys host a, you know a a a space is called the 507 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,520 political Bitcoin Hour.

They, you know, think of think 526 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,520 of some of these families. They're hundreds of years in 527 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,760 power. Hundreds of years. 528 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,480 They've never been talked back to in their life. 529 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,760 And you just mentioned it earlier, Nico, and you too, BJ. 530 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,920 But these people have never heard anyone, anyone, I mean for 531 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,080 hundreds and thousands of years, they just, you just go to jail. 532 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,440 Someone did anything. I mean, you can look through the 533 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,800 Bible. You can look your history books 534 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,400 and it's it's throughout the entire thing that you just jail. 535 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,800 You'd kill them. You'd cut their head off 536 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,360 whatever it was like, OK, get out of here bud. 537 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,360 And now for the first time in human history with Bitcoin, with 538 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,600 separation of church and state, but then now the separation of 539 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,680 money and state and now the separation of media and state, 540 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,760 they have this real threat to their, you know, oligopoly, 541 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,920 whatever you want to call it, this, this power structure that 542 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,200 they've built. And they, they don't know what 543 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,160 to do. And that's why it's going to get 544 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,040 worse before it gets better. And you know, after you in the 545 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,360 space, as I was joking with you guys earlier, that you need to 546 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,360 bring it back. But we used to say all the time, 547 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,600 you know they you don't none of us want to be martyrs, but some 548 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,680 people will be. You know, we need some martyrs 549 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,120 in society. We need you know, like we talked 550 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,920 about huddle now. We talked about Peter McCormick 551 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,760 already And these things happen and they're going to continue to 552 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,040 happen until we push this political discourse to a point 553 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,640 because and and BJ says it's all the time too is the Breitbart 554 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,480 quote of politics is downstream from from culture and you have 555 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,280 to keep pushing the culture and doing what we're all doing here 556 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,160 every single day. Overwhelm this is done more 557 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,280 podcast more blogs more TV spots whatever it is and whatever 558 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,760 everyone can do to continue the the narrative because this stuff 559 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,920 is real. The TikTok bill. 560 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,000 I mean this is This is why we started political Bitcoin hour. 561 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,240 This is why we started Bitcoin trading cards as well and what 562 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,160 we're doing there because we have to get the kids we got to 563 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,480 pull them away from a screen somehow. 564 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,960 How are you going to learn? They're not learning in 565 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,720 government schools. We all know that. 566 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,000 They're not learning it on TikTok. 567 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,240 They're not learning it on Instagram. 568 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,800 They're not learning it in this digital world. 569 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,760 Like you said Nico he's the the dopamine hits you get from it 570 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,960 are incredible. So how do we pull them away from 571 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,320 this and learn in a different way And and that's why we 572 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,000 started some of these initiatives and some of these 573 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000 things to do something differently. 574 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640 I mean you look at the, what is it, TikTok bill or Bill C63 in 575 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,320 Canada, the the Dame mining tax bill, omnibus bills. 576 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000 I mean you go on down the list, it's it's endless and it's, it's 577 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,840 almost, it's speeding up, right, 'cause they're the the drowning 578 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,160 man in the water and they're going to get crazier and crazier 579 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,800 as you're as you're trying to rescue a drowning man. 580 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,440 What is he doing? He's, he's grabbing at you. 581 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,760 He's pulling you under the water and that's a part of that. 582 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,800 You know, then they fight you stage we're in right now. 100 583 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,360 percent, 100% Also shout out to Breitbart. 584 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,280 Absolute legend, a man before his time. 585 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,240 Guys, if you see Breitbart interviews from, you know, 1012 586 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,560 years ago, he predicted a lot of the things that are coming true 587 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,960 now. So shout out to Breitbart 588 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,280 anyways, Opti, what are your thoughts on this, brother? 589 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,040 Yeah, I'll go also. Speaking of martyr, Opti is not 590 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,080 a degenerate anymore. He told me that he's not a 591 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560 degenerate anymore, so. We're using. 592 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,320 I'm calling him St. Opti from. 593 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,320 Always has, but always. Forward so when I. 594 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,720 Hold on, let's kick him off. Well, that's enough of that. 595 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:57,520 That's enough of that. When Bitcoin hits 150, K Opti 596 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,560 will become. A priest. 597 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,440 He took me last night. I don't know about all that. 598 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,800 I don't know about all anyway. Anyway, let's get back to the 599 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,960 topic here. Miko's always got to troll me on 600 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720 the show. First and foremost, I totally 601 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,360 agree with everything that BJ and Brandon and Niko was saying. 602 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:19,240 It really I think is an important thing point to make 603 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,680 that this is the cultural war happening in real time. 604 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,200 And we know that. Like I don't know if you guys 605 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,080 watched that Mike Bend interview with Tucker Carlson a couple of 606 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,920 weeks ago or last week or so. But he said something in there 607 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,880 that we say all the time on this show and he has a like an 608 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160 encyclopedic memory on what's going on. 609 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,880 Names and figures and something Nico and I always say on the 610 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,400 show is like the establishment wasn't ready for the Internet 611 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,360 and social media and all of us having these conversations and 612 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,400 spreading the truth and spreading the signal. 613 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,640 And so now it's them trying to fight back. 614 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,840 And the same thing is happening with Bitcoin, where they're 615 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,040 losing control of the money and it all goes hand in hand. 616 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,320 I know someone in the chat was kind of like, wait, I thought 617 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,040 this was a Bitcoin show? What are they even talking 618 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,360 about? Well, I know we, we talked about 619 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,240 in the chat, but freedom of speech is a Bitcoin issue. 620 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,600 Like, if you think that you can't talk freely on the 621 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,960 Internet, what makes you think that you're going to be able to 622 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360 transact freely? These things go hand in hand. 623 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,280 And the establishment wasn't ready for Bitcoin to basically 624 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,840 free all of us transacting, sending money where we want 625 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,400 without them being the middleman. 626 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,360 And now they're trying to scramble and control it. 627 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,600 So we're seeing in real time that what the Internet did to 628 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,040 information, Bitcoin is doing for finances. 629 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,040 And you know, Bitcoin is code, Bitcoin is speech. 630 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,600 And so the more they try to trample on communication and the 631 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,040 more they try to corral information, the more you know 632 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,320 that we are winning and that we have to continue to spread the 633 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,440 signal. And then just like touching on 634 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,720 the TikTok stuff, because I don't wanna rehash what you guys 635 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,880 are saying, but personally, it just kind of always goes back to 636 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,360 that meme that a a government will not let an emergency go. 637 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,800 What's the saying? I forget I'm. 638 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,640 It's a Churchill quote and it's like never let a crisis go. 639 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,880 Yeah, never go exactly. And so you're seeing that now we 640 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,000 have a new boogeyman, you know the the IT was Russia for a 641 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,320 little bit and now it's becoming China again. 642 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,920 And so they're they're aiming this as a way of like protecting 643 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,719 American citizens from China. And you know, like I don't like 644 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,679 TikTok, it's a necessary evil for us. 645 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:27,800 We're we're posting stuff over there on TikTok. 646 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,080 But you're seeing in the wording of this bill that was passed 647 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,480 that it's going to be just wholesale for any website. 648 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:41,560 It's starting to get aimed at exactly what BJ was saying about 649 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,920 in Canada, that if you are saying things that are going 650 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,159 against the establishment, then they have full reign to 651 00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,199 basically shut you down. Fine, you. 652 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,719 And so again, this is just part of that culture war going on 653 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,400 where they are losing control. Or rather, in my opinion, they 654 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,400 have lost control of information. 655 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,040 They have lost control on the monopoly of the narrative. 656 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,280 And now they're trying to scramble and find new ways to 657 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,840 ensure that their narrative is getting propagated. 658 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,920 Because all of us on Twitter are just, you know, the the Twitter, 659 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,440 what's Fact Check. You know, the Twitter community 660 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,720 notes like they can't get away with just propagandizing people. 661 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,760 And now they're trying to figure out ways how to use the courts 662 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,600 and the laws to basically push all you guys back into the box 663 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,160 because they've lost that control. 664 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,800 And so freedom of speech is a Bitcoin issue. 665 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,520 Bitcoin is literally code. It's ones in zeros. 666 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,800 It's letters. And so the more they try to 667 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,040 control information, not only do I know that we're on the right 668 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,320 side of history here, but the more I know that they're 669 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,080 scrambling and they're very concerned about us having these 670 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,400 conversations and hence why we do our show in such a certain 671 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,360 way so that YouTube doesn't nuke us. 672 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,400 So guys, we know what's going on. 673 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,400 We see the writing on the wall, but it's kind of one of those 674 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,520 necessary evils where we got to go meet people and try to plant 675 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,840 these seeds of freedom and these ideas of freedom in people's 676 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,240 minds and show the hypocrisy so they understand what is actually 677 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,560 at stake. It's literally all at stake 678 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,800 right now. It is bit corner. 679 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,520 Slavery. Oh beautiful. 680 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,120 Beautifully said.

Let's see where MicroStrategy 734 00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,080 stands and this number is going to go up. 735 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,880 I think Michael Saylor wants to get to that 1% number. 736 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,480 He's currently, Microstrategy's holdings currently stick stand 737 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:22,720 at 205,000 Bitcoin and Fidelity, Wow Man, Fidelity and BlackRock. 738 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:30,440 Fidelity currently stands at 132,000 and BlackRock 223,000 739 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,640 Bitcoin. It took MicroStrategy 3 years to 740 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,280 accumulate their Bitcoin stack. It took BlackRock, you know, a 741 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,520 matter of months, right? And that institutional interest 742 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,880 continues to go through the roof. 743 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,000 You could see it with the lines, you know again guys they 744 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,920 wouldn't be stacking if it wasn't their customers buying 745 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,400 it, right. So that's that's kind of a big 746 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,280 deal. Anyways, quick updates on this 747 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,280 this saga this man, this has lasted a very very long time. 748 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,000 A very very long time and then shame on you know Craig Wright 749 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:10,880 and you know and and Calvin for for doing this for. 750 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,640 And again, look, you can make a claim, right? 751 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,640 But you know, there's there's these awesome things called 752 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:22,360 cryptographic proofs you can sign for addresses that you 753 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,880 know, that, that a lot of people believe belong to Satoshi. 754 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,360 To prove that you're Satoshi #1. I don't think Satoshi would do 755 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:36,120 that because I think that part of Bitcoin's mythology, part of 756 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,200 Bitcoin's power, is the fact that the ruler stepped away. 757 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,960 The creator stepped away, not the ruler. 758 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,240 The creator stepped away from his creation and left it to its 759 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,360 own devices. I don't think it would be a good 760 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,440 idea if people knew the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. 761 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,440 I think that would put a target under his on his back. 762 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,640 I think that's the reason why he disappeared. 763 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,760 People would start to see the flaws in the human being or the 764 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,120 group of human beings that are behind Satoshi Nakamoto, rather 765 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,880 than focus on what was left, what was created, which is 766 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,720 Bitcoin, right? And then again, because it's 767 00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:16,200 anonymous, because Satoshi's not here anymore, because he's 768 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,560 basically disappeared. We are all Satoshi in a way, 769 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,720 except for Craig Wright. And you know, this is it. 770 00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:26,720 It was, you know, it was a tragedy. 771 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,840 It was a tragedy what happened to HOT or not. 772 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,880 And it was a tragedy what happened to Peter McCormack 773 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,880 getting law fair basically trying to silence them for 774 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,680 calling Craig Wright not Satoshi and again that could have been 775 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,160 an opinion. Craig Wright had multiple 776 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:47,080 instances to prove that he's that he know he he as he he is 777 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,720 who he claimed he he is or he was. 778 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,640 But that's over now. And we, you know we we we've 779 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,600 tended not to be so blunt and open about it you know on simply 780 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,400 Bitcoin. But this is a judge now saying 781 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,440 that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. 782 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,160 Not to mention the fact that judges in three different 783 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,720 jurisdictions, Florida, the United Kingdom. 784 00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:17,160 And I think Hadanat's trial was like in Norway, I believe, but 785 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,920 in three of those jurisdictions, the judge and you know, some 786 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,080 were a little bit nicer than others, but they basically said 787 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,640 that Craig Wright was dishonest in a lot of his testimony, 788 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,680 right. So in three separate 789 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,520 jurisdictions, you know, multiple judges has said, you 790 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,360 know, Craig Wright is being dishonest now it is so point 791 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,400 blank. It is so blunt in this latest 792 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,880 ruling that it's undeniable and the judge made it undeniable, 793 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,640 right? So this Wahanat said the judge 794 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,600 just ruled from the bench. Craig Wright is not Satoshi 795 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,560 Nakamoto. Further findings of fraud will 796 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,920 come in the written judgment. Welcome to law. 797 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,040 Welcome to law is a line that Craig Wright famously used to 798 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,440 prove. You know, he'd say, listen, 799 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,080 we're going to sue you out of existence. 800 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,520 Welcome to law. You know, sailors jumping in 801 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,960 saying Craig Wright is not Satoshi. 802 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,000 And here is the actual quote from the judge itself, from the 803 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,760 judge himself. And here is of course, Jack 804 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,760 Dorsey, you know, fellow Bitcoiner posting the quote and 805 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,240 he says W up top for for when says quote, I will make certain 806 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,440 declarations which I am satisfied or useful and are 807 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,240 necessary to do justice between the parties. 808 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,960 First, that Doctor Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin white 809 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,280 paper. 2nd Doctor Wright is not the person who adopted or 810 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,160 operated under the pseudonym pseudonym Opti. 811 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,200 How do you say that word? Holy cow. 812 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,720 All right guys, forgive me English. 813 00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:48,320 My second language, Satoshi Nakamoto in the period of 2008 814 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,400 to 2011. Third, Doctor Wright is not the 815 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,440 person who created the Bitcoin system. 816 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,960 And 4th he is not the author of the initial version of the 817 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,000 Bitcoin. Softer. 818 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,440 Any further relief will be dealt with in my written judgment. 819 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,680 I will extend time for filing any appellants notice until 21 820 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,680 days after the form of order hearing, which will be appointed 821 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,920 following the hand down of my written judgment. 822 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,160 And I asked the parties to seek to agree and order giving effect 823 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:22,240 to what I have just stated. So I mean, look, you can't be 824 00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:25,920 more blunt than that. There is no doubt left there. 825 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,320 There's just no doubt. There's no like anything left 826 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,560 that could be interpreted in a different light. 827 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:41,480 The judge was pretty blunt, like he said it like this guy did not 828 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,880 create Bitcoin. The white paper, the early firms 829 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,360 of the software, This guy is not Satoshi Nakamoto, full stop, 830 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:50,360 period. Right. 831 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,000 So again, congratulations to to Hoddle. 832 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,240 Not congratulations to Peter McCormack. 833 00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:00,040 They, you know, they took the blunt of this and I'm sure that 834 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,720 there's other bitcoiners that were pursued as well. 835 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,400 Congratulations to them. And this is a big win for the 836 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,440 Bitcoin community. BJ, what do you what do you 837 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,760 think about this man? Well, I think law fair is one of 838 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,040 the biggest problems in society right now that often gets 839 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,440 ignored. It's ignored by all our 840 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,960 politicians because it's just another form of censorship. 841 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,800 I've been through it myself. I'm going through it right now. 842 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,720 You know, the truckers and I, about 400 plus of us have been 843 00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:32,600 slapped with a $450 million law fair harassment suit by people 844 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,040 who are tied to the Trudeau government or the the Liberal 845 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,720 Party. I talked about it on 846 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,480 trigonometry when I was interviewed on them in the UK. 847 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,800 This is a very, very serious problem. 848 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,960 And this is also why we do need to get involved in politics. 849 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,840 I know Bitcoiners hate politics and I get it, politics is 850 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,920 garbage. But Paraceles, the Greek 851 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,440 philosopher, said just because you don't take an interest in 852 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,760 politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. 853 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,240 So our means of fighting back is putting the pressure of 854 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:11,600 governments and legislators on people like Craig Wright. 855 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,920 And I know many of us are anti statist, I get that. 856 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,880 But you got to use the tools that are in front of you because 857 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,560 if not, we're all just going to be the victims and we're going 858 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,080 to be the ones that are targeted permanently. 859 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,520 We need to fight back. 100% beautifully said. 860 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,680 Also want to give a shout out to our first super chat of the day, 861 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,760 we from Thomas Hara up. There we go. 862 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,320 I'm having trouble so I'm going to read it. 863 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,120 I'm having trouble pulling it up for some reason, but Thomas 864 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,360 Harris said support the show, guys, exclamation mark. 865 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,040 Appreciate it. Thomas, thank you so much for 866 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,040 the Super chat. Anyways, I'm going to pass it on 867 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,680 to Brandon. Brandon, what's your take on 868 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,400 this, man? Like, you know, we we've all 869 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,640 been, you know, the the, we the, the, there's been a couple 870 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,680 sayings, right? We are all Satoshi, but we are 871 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,080 all hot or not. And that was a way to kind of, 872 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,680 you know, show our support as the Bitcoin community to rally 873 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,280 behind the space cat while he was being personally attacked. 874 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,800 Man. Craig Wright sent private 875 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,400 investigators to docs. The guy OK, like clearly this is 876 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,960 someone who values their anonymity. 877 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,520 That's why they use the handle, hot or not right. 878 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,640 Not their personal name. And they spent money to try to 879 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,040 find out who this guy was. And the last time, I think one 880 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,680 of the things that they said, they showed up to his work, to 881 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,720 his job. It's pretty crazy what happened, 882 00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:34,520 right? This is justice. 883 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,440 And I'm really glad that this had somewhat of a happy 884 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,080 conclusion. Brandon, what's your take? 885 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,920 And then we'll move on to Opti. Yeah. 886 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,880 And sometimes in the chat there, you know, saying like why do we 887 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,640 need to judge to tell us, you know what the truth is and we 888 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,800 don't, you know, at the end of the day. 889 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,600 But you know, it is a part of the vindication in a way. 890 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,720 And it's, you know, for people that were involved obviously 891 00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:58,800 huddle, not Peter McCormack and and many people that were 892 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,080 involved just indirectly and all of us to a degree, right. 893 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,160 It's one of those nails in the coffin type of things. 894 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,880 It's a way to put things behind people but it's the overall 895 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,480 just, you know, again like like BJ said, you know, whether it's 896 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,560 Pericles or Plato, like some of these great philosophers of of 897 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,120 our day. Again, why it's so important to 898 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,320 be involved. And it doesn't take many people. 899 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,400 I mean we've talked about this so many times on the shows 900 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,240 faces, you know the 3%. It it only takes a a small and 901 00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:29,480 transient irate minority in order to to really make change. 902 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,800 And when you're just spider man memeing and everyone's like 903 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,520 pointing at each other like Oh well, are you are you going to 904 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,920 stand up and do something? Are you going to stand up and do 905 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,360 something obviously the last four years or many opportunities 906 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,800 to do that? I'm for myself pretty 907 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,440 embarrassed as an American how few people really kind of stood 908 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,240 up Still mind blowing to me at this point. 909 00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,240 But I think it was good in a way because a lot of people learned 910 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,080 you know that we you need to stand. 911 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,320 You have to be vocal. You have to be involved 912 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,760 politically you can't because again like a Craig not not a 913 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,800 Craig but a Huddle Notch or McCormick or people that are 914 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,760 getting attacked this this is going to happen many ways. 915 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,600 I think there's a lot of ways that people will get attacked 916 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,480 this then they fight you stage look we're seeing the the bills 917 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,480 like we just mentioned earlier we're seeing law fair we're 918 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,720 seeing you know direct attacks indirect attacks. 919 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,800 There's going to be things that we don't even think about this 920 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,320 point. A lot of most of us are good 921 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,280 people. So we don't spend our time 922 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,720 thinking as a criminal would or as a a liar or a cheat. 923 00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:23,280 We don't, we don't do that, right. 924 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,480 So we're gonna get blindsided. We're gonna have like this Black 925 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,720 Swan of type of events where you kind of get blindsided or you 926 00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:31,280 realize maybe down the road a little bit like, oh, like what 927 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,160 is this like this is a little different than I thought it was. 928 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,960 So we all have to be on our toes. 929 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,280 You have to coalesce as a community. 930 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,120 We talk about this all the time as well is community is the 931 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,040 number one aspect in the survival situation. 932 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,200 So us coming together, coalescing Bitcoin conferences, 933 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,160 your community coming together on shows like simply the simply 934 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,000 Bitcoin people in the chat, building those community people 935 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,680 is the biggest thing you can do. And coming on spaces, whatever 936 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,880 it is. Because when you have that, that 937 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,760 group of people that can stand up and be vocal, you can you can 938 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,480 vote traditionally with the MO box or the ballot box. 939 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,000 And now we have the ways to deal with our wallets, with our feet 940 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,360 and with our voice. We now have five ways we can 941 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,200 really be voting. We didn't have all those ways. 942 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,920 So now that's where we hope he doesn't it doesn't get to the MO 943 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,480 box, you know that's the last option. 944 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,680 So can we can we utilize these first couple, you know, our 945 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,920 voice, the money, things of that nature to impose our will. 946 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,080 Again, the right part, quote politics is downstream for 947 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,640 culture. Can we shift things and and push 948 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,160 back on that Overton window that keeps going to the the American 949 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,800 left? I guess the Marxist way, that 950 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,800 direction. Can we push back on that and 951 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,680 start regaining some of that freedom, whether it's through 952 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,560 the money or whether it's through people just learning 953 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,760 these experiences of of bad things happening? 954 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,120 Unfortunately, my my father always said pain is a great 955 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,080 teacher. And he's the one that I learned 956 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,720 from very early on, from a young age, was always questioning the 957 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:46,880 news, was always questioning everything and pointing out all 958 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,000 the fallacies and the hypocritical things that were 959 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,480 going on in legacy media or academia. 960 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,840 He would study my textbook, you know, like whatever it was he 961 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,600 was, he was like, what are they teaching you in school? 962 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,840 What is going on? So I saw very early on I was 963 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,240 very lucky that I had that influence in my life, but not 964 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:03,400 everyone does again. So it's how can we get into 965 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,720 these communities, how can we get the younger generations 966 00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:07,960 involved, how can we do things that are going to start 967 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,400 educating people. And again, the money, why we're 968 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,760 all here number one, to start defunding the centralized 969 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,600 entities so they can we can defund these brainwashing 970 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,080 apparatuses whether it is legacy media or government run schools 971 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,280 etcetera.

But I do want to address the 978 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,240 news, Opti, if you don't mind, real quick in terms of the, the, 979 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,240 the sailor stuff. And then we'll, we'll transition 980 00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:50,560 to the culture segment to talk more about what these gentlemen 981 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520 are working on. So, yeah, guys, look, Michael 982 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:58,120 Saylor continues his speculative attack on the dollar and it's 983 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,360 absolutely hilarious. I mean it, it's hilarious in the 984 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,960 sense that let let me tell you the story real quick, Let me 985 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,240 break it down because there's a series of events, right. 986 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,520 So first MicroStrategy completes $800 million. 987 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,840 I don't know what happened, Opti, thank you very much. 988 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,280 OK. So this was March 11th, 2024. 989 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:24,320 Then a couple days later, March 13th, 2024, Micro Strategy 990 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,000 announces proposed private offering of $500 million of 991 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,840 convertible senior notes. And just to kind of simplify it, 992 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,720 to kind of understand what is happening, here's our boy. 993 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,040 The Bitcoin therapist drops amazing content on Twitter, by 994 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,320 the way. Definitely recommend giving him 995 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,040 a follow and he said sailor found the infinite money glitch. 996 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,040 The infinite Bitcoin loop, Bitcoin MicroStrategy, debt, 997 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,720 Bitcoin wash and repeat and this this thing will go much higher 998 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,440 the next loop Bitcoin MicroStrategy, S&P debt, 999 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,680 Bitcoin. There is no top to this cycle. 1000 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,160 We go up forever. So the man is literally, And by 1001 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,280 the way, I had, I interviewed James Lavish yesterday and he'll 1002 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,480 break down the technical details of how Michael Saylor or the 1003 00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,120 financial details of how Michael Saylor is actually doing this. 1004 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,160 But essentially he's leveraging his company. 1005 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,960 His stock goes up in value. He borrows against it, right? 1006 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,680 He raises more money to buy more Bitcoin. 1007 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,680 The Bitcoin goes up in value because micro Strategy is 1008 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,560 holding so much Bitcoin. Their stock goes up in value and 1009 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:32,080 rinse and repeat and the rates at which he's borrowing this 1010 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:33,320 money. Is. 1011 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,680 Tiny, right. You're you're talking about like 1012 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,960 less than a percentage point. So, like, Sailor literally has 1013 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,320 hacked the system. Here's our boy Nick Camp, mine 1014 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,840 head of news at Bitcoin Magazine. 1015 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,520 He said Sailor raised 800 million to buy more Bitcoin two 1016 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,840 days ago, went on Yahoo Finance, called people who save in Fiat 1017 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,360 poor, and now he's raising another 500 million to buy more 1018 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,400 Bitcoin. What a legend. 1019 00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,640 Here's the clip. Well, because they. 1020 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,120 Want to sell it eventually, Michael. 1021 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,920 I mean let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, sure 1022 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,000 some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the 1023 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,240 people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the 1024 00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:13,280 assets at a profit. So I. 1025 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:14,680 Guess. Let me say it a different way. 1026 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:19,480 People that use Fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name 1027 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:20,920 for them.

And the last thing, by the way, 1088 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,360 I just want to mention this very important point because Brandon 1089 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,080 touched on it when he said this sort of stuff is not going to 1090 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,880 stop, you know, before the trucker convoy. 1091 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,640 And regardless of your opinions, politically Abramovich had his 1092 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,680 soccer team and all his assets seized and stolen by the UK 1093 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,040 government. Then the trucker protest 1094 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,320 happened. We had all our bank accounts and 1095 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,080 credit cards and lines of credit were frozen. 1096 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,680 And then six weeks later, Lula did the exact same to the 1097 00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,680 truckers in Brazil when they protested. 1098 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,280 And after that, the Iranian Moolahs froze the bank accounts, 1099 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,920 the people who fund Hamas. They froze the bank accounts of 1100 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,840 peaceful protesters in Iran that wanted some greater freedoms, 1101 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,240 right? Last year we had a liquidity, 1102 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,520 liquidity issue in TD Bank that everybody in government and all 1103 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:23,080 cabinets know about but are keep trying to keep quiet and hush 1104 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,120 hush. And right now, if you go on to 1105 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,520 Reddit, you're going to see all sorts of comments about problems 1106 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,200 with transactions all over the world that are being frozen for 1107 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,600 whatever reason. We don't know if it's a 1108 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,120 liquidity issue or it's a censorship, censorship issue. 1109 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,520 So this is not going to stop. This is why you need to start to 1110 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,520 be vocal. And the best way to be vocal is 1111 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,760 to start preaching about the importance of what what I call 1112 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,040 the freedom, the the freedom protocol, which is Bitcoin. 1113 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,160 And that's how I try to orange peel with people with it. 1114 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,840 So don't don't remain silent. Speak up. 1115 00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:58,040 Amen. Amen. 1116 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,360 Beautiful, beautifully sad. BJ and look, let's let's talk 1117 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,560 about this concept 'cause you burg the lead there a little 1118 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,320 bit, right, Which is the aspect of bridging the gap between 1119 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,440 politics and Bitcoin, right. You know, I think it was Brandon 1120 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,040 that said that, that famous quote from Plato, right? 1121 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,640 Like you might not think that politics is important, but you 1122 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,440 know, like and I say this all the time, you know, and and 1123 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:27,560 bitcoiners have this this sense of you know, like bro, you know 1124 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,640 I got my private keys. I got self custody. 1125 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:34,720 I'm OK All right guys things could get way worse. 1126 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,440 You know Venezuela where my family's originally from. 1127 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,000 You know, it went from one of the most prosperous nations to, 1128 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,920 you know within 20 years of collectivism you you could say 1129 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,480 socialism if you want to be blunt, you know, completely 1130 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:56,120 destroyed the society, right. And again, the idea that to 1131 00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:01,120 think that that can't happen where you are is absurdly naive. 1132 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:07,760 So it's not just A1 tool fix all, it's a multitude of things. 1133 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,840 And if you don't get up and speak up and say something. 1134 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,000 You know Schultz and Itzen has so many quotes regarding what I 1135 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,360 just said. Maybe I could find one before I 1136 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,920 pass it on to? BJ Nico, just to add to your 1137 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:25,800 point, look Caribou had we we raised a total of 21 Bitcoin for 1138 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,400 the the the trucker protest and I believe approximately 17 was 1139 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,440 distributed directly to the truckers. 1140 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:38,400 But the government managed to to gain access and to seize the 1141 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,480 remaining 5. Do you know how they did that? 1142 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,480 That fifteen officers raid his house at gunpoint from both 1143 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,600 federal and provincial police officers took his computer took 1144 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,640 his phones and demanded he surrendered a seed phrase. 1145 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,200 The guy's never been in trouble in his life. 1146 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:55,760 He freaked. He panicked. 1147 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,480 He was afraid and and I don't I I don't fault him. 1148 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,360 It's it's a very difficult thing. 1149 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,800 It's very easy to say all the government's going to come in. 1150 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,120 I don't care. I'm going to tell them the F 1151 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,280 off. Well, yeah, you you tell you try 1152 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,680 that when you have a warrant for your arrest and guns in front of 1153 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,240 you and 20 police cruisers in front of your house that are 1154 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,200 going to drag you away. It's a very difficult scenario 1155 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,720 to actually be experiencing that. 1156 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,880 So we can all pretend to be tough guys, but the way to push 1157 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:29,240 back is to push back now, now, not when they're raiding your 1158 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,000 house. Push back now, get more people 1159 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,160 on Bitcoin and start advocating to the people who do hold 1160 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,200 political power. Like, I've orange peeled a 1161 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:42,720 number of politicians quietly behind the scenes, so I know 1162 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,880 they at least get it. Do as much of that as possible, 1163 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,960 because if not, you never know when those fifteen officers can 1164 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:53,880 come to your house. 100 percent, 100%, You know, you have to you 1165 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,200 have to stand up. You have to stand up. 1166 01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:00,400 You have to say something because when it gets too late, 1167 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:07,160 they're like when it becomes too late, the the only the only kind 1168 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,160 of way out of that. It's a kinetic option, right? 1169 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:11,920 That's right. Or you leave. 1170 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,680 Most people don't choose the kinetic option. 1171 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,040 Most people leave. But what happens when there 1172 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,320 isn't anywhere else to leave to, right? 1173 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,600 Me and Opti make this joke all the time about the. 1174 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,320 US joke. But it's it's in a way it's not 1175 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,560 really a joke in a in a way we're being you know dead 1176 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,680 serious, which is we're gonna try to hold it down in the US 1177 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,320 the US has a lot of things going for it, like the First 1178 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,760 Amendment, the Second Amendment, the individual sovereignty of 1179 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,960 the States. But at the same time, you know 1180 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:47,520 if the US goes down the collectivist path, you know, we 1181 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,200 we, we, we we joke about it. We said we're going to rebrand 1182 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,120 the show or call it, call it simplemente Bitcoin and we're 1183 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,120 going to move to El Salvador. Right. 1184 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,040 The land of freedom, right. And hope. 1185 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,200 Right. So I mean look I I am you know 1186 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,840 in a way like you know we are kind of saying this in in you 1187 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,800 know perhaps maybe not a light light hearted manner but take it 1188 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:13,480 seriously like take what BJ says seriously look at his 1189 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,120 experiences. My buddy Ben which I'm doing the 1190 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,600 show with tonight, BTC sessions he was part of that. 1191 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,240 He was kind of you know he's caught caught in the in the you 1192 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,440 know tyrannical net of what happened in Canada during the 1193 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,920 truckers protest. So to think that this can't 1194 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,280 happen here you're you're you're absolutely kidding yourself. 1195 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,400 We got another super chat from Lawrence so shout out Lawrence 1196 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,480 thank you appreciate the Super chat says great show gents. 1197 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,840 Keep up the good work.

We need another whole entire 1203 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,000 show for that. You know, like we did, we 1204 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,240 mentioned the quote, the quotes, Pericles, Plato, you know it's 1205 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,720 it's part of life in in government. 1206 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,200 It's gonna be here whether we like it or not, whether you 1207 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:05,520 know, we have hyper bitcoinization. 1208 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:06,800 It's gonna be here for a while regardless. 1209 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,760 Like this whole system needs to be defunded and it's not just 1210 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,600 going to go away overnight. I always think about the hippie 1211 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,720 bubble. You know we're we're run by the 1212 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,760 the gerontocracy, the 60-70 and up class there in every walk of 1213 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,520 life obviously, whether it's academia, politics and you know 1214 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,240 their their sun setting and it's going to really flip a lot of 1215 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,200 things and a lot of what we talked about now probably won't 1216 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,560 be a thing I would imagine, you know 5-10, fifteen years from 1217 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,440 now. But we still have to make it 1218 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:33,800 though you know we still have to get there. 1219 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,600 We we can't give away everything and just sit back and do nothing 1220 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,800 And that's that's why it it can be anything. 1221 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,400 It can be voting. It can be getting vocal starting 1222 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,480 A blog it could be going to one you know PTA meet up and it 1223 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,520 could be one the local you know Township meeting a year you know 1224 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,720 and if if just one percent 3% of people did those things and all 1225 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,320 all of us doing our own little things you know society changes 1226 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,080 very quickly because now you're getting pushed back. 1227 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,240 You know for decades no one was pushing back. 1228 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,000 It was you know God loved the the older generations right. 1229 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,280 Our our parents, our grandparents, great grandparents 1230 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,080 you know I'm in my mid my mid 30s and it's you know they were 1231 01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,760 my grandfather admitted to me he was like well I just, you know 1232 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,400 he flipped like 20 years ago and and he was very you know you 1233 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,920 know Liberal Democratic. You know the best way to say it 1234 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,800 but you know he saw the writing on the wall. 1235 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,040 He was in unions and so he was just told what to do. 1236 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,280 But he even told me like hey I just they it was handshake 1237 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,360 society. Like I didn't who would think 1238 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:27,520 that someone would just be lying to you. 1239 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,200 We just assumed that people had our best interest like we were 1240 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,640 Americans, like we just, that's just what we did forever. 1241 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,280 And so you have this, this process of the frog in the 1242 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:39,880 boiling pot for 100 plus years and people at work to to try to 1243 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,520 change society and then you have the just collective malaise 1244 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:43,960 right, when you're destroying the money. 1245 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,160 And you know BJ, you talk about this all the time, right? 1246 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,360 But it's, you know, people try to search for conspiracies or 1247 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,520 things that are going on when a lot of times it's just 1248 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,640 centralized huge masses of people or centralized 1249 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,640 governments doing Dumber and Dumber things. 1250 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,880 Again, spider man, meaning like, well, you got it and all you got 1251 01:05:58,880 --> 01:05:59,920 it. And then this person's taking 1252 01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:01,800 from the coffers there and then that person's skimming off the 1253 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:03,520 top and then it just builds on itself. 1254 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,840 And it's been doing that for 110 years and here we are. 1255 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,800 So that's why it's again the political Bitcoin hour, what we 1256 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,920 started doing there to try to bridge this gap a little bit. 1257 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,520 Bitcoiners, obviously. Bitcoin trading cards again, 1258 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:18,040 Aladdin started that to Trojan horse, you know, people and to 1259 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,000 incept this into people's minds because no one wants to talk 1260 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,280 about this stuff. Again, a lot of bitcoiners 1261 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,760 don't. People you know libertarians 1262 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,240 they don't want to talk about it and and for whatever reason we 1263 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,440 need to get into that conversation and and understand 1264 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:31,800 that this could change overnight. 1265 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,320 This isn't we're not asking someone to get into a 1266 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,680 bodybuilding competition like hey you got to have a six pack 1267 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,360 in the next like year or two. That takes a long time. 1268 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,560 It's it's a decision. It's overnight. 1269 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,600 This could change and we accept Bitcoin. 1270 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,640 It is the money and it's a decision. 1271 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,680 You know, it's it's your higher powers your your brain using the 1272 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,960 the greatest gift we all have and it's starting to get people 1273 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,440 to understand those things. So you know that's what we're 1274 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,240 trying to do with global Bitcoin hours, what we're trying to do 1275 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:55,960 with the trading cars. We want to be the entertainment 1276 01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:00,600 arm and in whether it's bringing mascots, bringing things to you 1277 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,680 know, big huge partnerships. We just partnered with Fanatics 1278 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,360 Live. So there's going to be huge 1279 01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,200 things. We're trying to get to the 1280 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,600 normies, you know, we're trying to get to what what is the 1281 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,280 things we can do to get to the normies. 1282 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,520 You know, like you said earlier, Nico, we're in our echo chamber 1283 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,200 and we got more people coming in, fortunately now that are 1284 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:15,880 starting to because the bull market's starting. 1285 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,440 But we need to keep expanding, keep growing because we've got 1286 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,440 to minimize the collateral damage from here. 1287 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,400 This crosses a little rickety bridge from this Fiat matrix 1288 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,640 we're in to that hyper bitcoinization. 1289 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,120 And there's a really rickety old bridge. 1290 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,240 I was think of Jurassic Park 3 when they're crossing the 1291 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,320 pterodactyl cage and they're crossing that little bridge and 1292 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,520 you got to go 1 by 1, each person has to cross. 1293 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,040 We got to get to the other side somehow and we want to minimize 1294 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,560 the collateral damage. We want to minimize the martyrs 1295 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,400 that are taken along the way. It's up to us in order to do 1296 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,760 that while things are still somewhat sane. 1297 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,640 I, I, I, I hesitating saying that a little bit, but this 1298 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,560 could get much crazier if if we if we don't be careful. 1299 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,400 But that's why again, like the cars they talk about taxation is 1300 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:55,760 theft. They talk about the Bretton 1301 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,680 Woods agreement, they talk about government not being able to 1302 01:07:58,680 --> 01:07:59,800 stop Bitcoin and all these things. 1303 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,320 Centralization, decentralization. 1304 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,520 The schools aren't doing it, you know, people aren't doing it 1305 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:04,720 anywhere. The legacy meeting is not doing 1306 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:05,880 it. So how are we going to do it? 1307 01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,920 Well, it's on us. It's on all of our shoulders. 1308 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,120 Amen to that, man. Beautifully, beautifully put, 1309 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:12,720 Opti. You want to chime into the You 1310 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:13,680 want to chime. Into Yeah, yeah. 1311 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,399 So I mean, I think everyone knows my take on this I I've 1312 01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:21,520 been very black pilled in regards to politics and only 1313 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,520 after getting involved with simply Bitcoin as it started to 1314 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,800 dawn on me like how important of a fight it actually is. 1315 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,319 And of course, like I always say, the classic meme of the 1316 01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:34,800 best way to vote is either with your money or your feet. 1317 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,960 And even though Nika says we're going to El Salvador, I, I, I 1318 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,840 just, I have the thought in my head of like, man, if America 1319 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,600 falls, like there's nowhere else to run. 1320 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,319 So we got to hold it down. And on that point I want to ask 1321 01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:50,160 Brandon and BJ, like what is your advice for people out 1322 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,319 there? What what should people be doing 1323 01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:56,040 in your opinion right now to actually further the Bitcoin 1324 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,319 movement? The first thing is, especially 1325 01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:02,680 when you get into political framing and discussions, don't 1326 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,800 be so combative. And you're not red or blue 1327 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,080 liberal, Democrat, Republican or whatever. 1328 01:09:10,279 --> 01:09:15,080 Your orange, your team orange, which means you can work and 1329 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,920 find the positive attributes of people on all sides. 1330 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,439 What you aren't is a collectivist, You're an 1331 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:24,160 individualist and take your patience with people you know. 1332 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,720 There's some people are predisposed to get involved with 1333 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,240 party politics, which is horrible. 1334 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,200 So if you can avoid that, try to. 1335 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,760 But some people are just predisposed to that. 1336 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,560 They're very good organizers. They're very good at bringing 1337 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,439 people together, and those people should probably get 1338 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,640 involved in the party structure. But you know how we gain our 1339 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,080 freedom? Talk to your family, talk to 1340 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,439 your friends, talk to your people at work and be patient 1341 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,359 with them. You have to take a long 1342 01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:52,200 strategic approach with them. It's not going to be one 1343 01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,040 conversation. It's not going to be one 1344 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:55,800 statement. It's going to be through 1345 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,000 repetition. Many, many months when they're 1346 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,120 primed and they're ready to talk about Bitcoin and freedom, 1347 01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:06,240 that's your opportunity. Just be patient with people and 1348 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,720 if we all do that, then we'll get somewhere. 1349 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,240 I gave, I tell this story often about during the lockdowns in 1350 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,760 Canada, which were quite authoritarian and I used to do 1351 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,200 this. I never put on a mask. 1352 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,400 Only if like a, you know, a part time employee asked me, it's not 1353 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,280 their fault, right? So I'd go to the coffee shop, my 1354 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,480 local coffee shop, and remember this one time I'm in line, I get 1355 01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:28,320 my coffee or I'm waiting for my coffee, the other end of the bar 1356 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,120 and some woman comes up to me who's you know, 5 foot nothing 1357 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,280 with a mask on and she says you're not wearing a mask. 1358 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,520 And as she I was about to respond, she says no, no, no, 1359 01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,120 no, no. I don't want to wear a mask 1360 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,920 either. And I said then take it off. 1361 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:45,560 I said for two years I have not once walked into a place with a 1362 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,040 mask. And every time I notice the same 1363 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,120 thing. Everybody in line watches to see 1364 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,480 if I get attacked, harassed, arrested, or the Gestapo comes, 1365 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,200 and after a minute and a half they realize that no one's going 1366 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,000 to control me. You know what happens? 1367 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,600 One by one, they start taking it off. 1368 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,520 People just need somebody to stick their neck out just a 1369 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,280 little bit to be a little bit more of a leader and a little 1370 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,080 bit more sane. And you know what? 1371 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:12,480 The rest of them will come in line. 1372 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,080 It's the same thing with Bitcoin. 1373 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,120 And for Bitcoin, all we're giving the world is positivity. 1374 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,840 Doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum. 1375 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:24,920 If you want to help poor people in the third world, or you want 1376 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:27,200 to if you're more on the investment side and business 1377 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,920 side in the developing world, doesn't matter. 1378 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:34,440 Bitcoin has freedom for everybody and once you once you 1379 01:11:34,440 --> 01:11:37,160 message around something that's positive, that brings people 1380 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,960 together, it's so easy to get them on board. 1381 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:41,920 Love it, DJ. Love it. 1382 01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,320 Beautiful Brandon, jump in on that. 1383 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,160 What's your thoughts? What can we do? 1384 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,400 Well, getting involved, you know, locally, obviously the 1385 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,680 decentralized nature of America and how we were founded is the 1386 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:54,480 big thing. And again, you know, I know all 1387 01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:56,400 the four of us have talked about this many times, you know, over 1388 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,360 the last couple years. But truly, you know, we just, 1389 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,120 you know, like I said earlier, getting going to one meeting, 1390 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,520 you know, and not everyone has to do it, right. 1391 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,080 If that's your thing, great, go do that. 1392 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:05,480 If. If that's your thing is to go 1393 01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:08,240 create a blog or YouTube channel, you know, writing, you 1394 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:09,760 know, audio, visual, whatever it is. 1395 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,560 But the more we can overwhelm the system, you know, and and 1396 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,280 Nico touched on this earlier as well and it's the 10 million 1397 01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,440 bitcoiners, the 3%. If we can get to that. 1398 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,960 You really start changing the culture because politics is 1399 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,440 truly downstream. And for people to sit back and 1400 01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:26,080 know it's funny, let you watching some of the comments. 1401 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,680 You know again like I my first foray I in a way was like I said 1402 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:34,160 my father was very active and he taught me I was born in 87 and 1403 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,120 so I'm I was probably about 10 years later about 97 or so I my 1404 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,880 first real like seeing like a libertarian. 1405 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,600 Like my dad was a libertarian but someone else that and and 1406 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,440 they didn't vote so my my dad voted but my this guy that was a 1407 01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:49,840 friend of ours or someone I played hockey with it was his 1408 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,240 father and he didn't vote and I like he has a 10 year old that 1409 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,360 didn't make sense to me. I was like why why did he not 1410 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,320 vote and I would ask my dad and stuff and he he's like honestly 1411 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,760 son like I I don't know you know and you know and there's part of 1412 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,720 it you can say like well your vote doesn't matter and things 1413 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:08,040 like that and whatever but it's more of the people seeing you go 1414 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,480 do things right if you're just sitting at your house right it's 1415 01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:13,440 it's the act of actually going and doing things people seeing 1416 01:13:13,440 --> 01:13:15,800 you out and about. It's the the very you know you 1417 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,920 we discount like hey would you go do today. 1418 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,360 Well, I I went and voted or hey, I went to this meeting or hey, I 1419 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:21,840 went to this town hall or whatever it is. 1420 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:23,720 All those things build on each other. 1421 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,080 And when, you know, and I I think about there was the 1422 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,040 Chicago Blackhawks again, hockey guy, but they weren't they 1423 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,040 weren't on TV for years. The Rocky Worcer old owner was 1424 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,000 not. They didn't put them on TV. 1425 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,240 They're like, well, if we don't put them on TV, then people show 1426 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:36,480 up at the game at the United Center. 1427 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,240 No one went, you know, it's out of sight, out of mind. 1428 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,160 And when you're just like I don't need to do it or you know, 1429 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,560 it doesn't matter. Well, then that's that's the 1430 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:46,280 perception. You know, or one of our higher 1431 01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,520 faculties is perception. You create that story. 1432 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,160 Life is just a collection of 8 billion stories we're all 1433 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,400 telling ourselves. So whatever you tell yourself, 1434 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,840 well, that's reality, That's all there is to it. 1435 01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,400 So if you believe that that's the case, well then that's the 1436 01:13:58,400 --> 01:13:59,640 case. If you don't believe, if you 1437 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,920 think you have a, a, a, a choice to go do something about it and 1438 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,400 actually make a change, one person can make a change, which 1439 01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:08,280 they can. Then you go start doing whatever 1440 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,640 it is. Your brain starts finding ways 1441 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,240 to get involved and start doing things. 1442 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,080 Obviously the best way is to do it, start local or, you know, do 1443 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:15,080 the things you can do around you. 1444 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,040 But I think to me that's that's the biggest thing. 1445 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,200 It could be, again, tuning into simple Bitcoin, tuning into a 1446 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,400 political Bitcoin hour, getting some cards, passing them out. 1447 01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,560 You know, it just anything helps because all those actions lead 1448 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,520 up and we we've been compounding the wrong way. 1449 01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,040 The Overton window's been shifting so far for so long the 1450 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:32,480 other way. We need to start taking these 1451 01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:34,840 positive steps and let those start compounding on each other 1452 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,600 over time. Love it. 1453 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:37,800 Beautiful. Beautiful. 1454 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,520 Get involved. Take action, take agency. 1455 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:44,160 You know, this is about winning over the hearts and minds of 1456 01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,600 individuals and bringing them together and getting them to 1457 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,240 understand that what BJ was saying is absolutely spot on. 1458 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,840 This is not left versus right. It's not green. 1459 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:55,520 I mean, sorry, it's not blue versus red. 1460 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,680 It is the party of Green, the party of nihilism, war, slavery 1461 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,640 versus the party of Orange, the party of optimism, peace, 1462 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:09,160 prosperity, opportunity and optimism and OPTI And so vote 1463 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,920 OPTI 2024. No. 1464 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:13,640 But yeah, like that. That's really what people have 1465 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,640 to understand because a lot of their, you know, a lot of the 1466 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:21,320 political like division right now is if you really identify 1467 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,920 the root 'cause, you could you could say, OK, the long, the 1468 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:25,960 long walk through the institutions, right. 1469 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:27,480 You know, the kind of like the takeover. 1470 01:15:27,480 --> 01:15:30,720 But I think it kind of really stems down to like, if you 1471 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:35,680 really, really break it down to a root cause, is the fact that 1472 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,480 there's a bureaucratic elite that have the privilege and the 1473 01:15:38,480 --> 01:15:41,880 ability to create money for free that everyone else has to work 1474 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,280 for. It's a misaligned incentive 1475 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,480 structure society that gets a tremendous amount of power to 1476 01:15:47,480 --> 01:15:51,800 the political class, and they don't have to really do good by 1477 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,600 their constituents. They're not incentivized to, 1478 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:58,920 they're incentivized to just get as close as humanly possible to 1479 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,040 the money spigot, right. This is what the separation of 1480 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,200 money in state is all about. This is what the peaceful 1481 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,680 Bitcoin revolution is all about and all you have to do to 1482 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,080 participate. Just buy Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin, 1483 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,800 mine Bitcoin, and take that said Bitcoin into self custody. 1484 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,000 You're revolutionary whether you realize it or not. 1485 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,480 Like, it's that simple, right? And if we get that message out, 1486 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,560 like Brandon said, if we get that intransigent minority of 10 1487 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,680 million bitcoiners in the United States, it's gonna like if 1488 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,040 they're gonna try to pass any type of anti Bitcoin 1489 01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,600 legislation, it's gonna become like the gun laws, man, try to 1490 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,840 pass a gun law in the US It is impossible. 1491 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,400 Why? Because there's so many gun 1492 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,720 owners, right? So even though they get all 1493 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,320 riled up, it's like if a huge percentage of the population, 1494 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,920 you know, is, is is owning guns, then it's like good luck trying 1495 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,760 to pass a law. You know, we had, I forget what 1496 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,200 his name was, Opti. We had this amazing guest 1497 01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,880 earlier on this week, and he's a cannabis grower, right? 1498 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:55,920 And he was talking about essentially Eric. 1499 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,800 And he was talking about essentially how, you know, the 1500 01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,760 government tried to force a lot of these, you know, cannabis 1501 01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:07,960 producers in California to register with the government and 1502 01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:13,000 you know, out of the 12,000, only 153 registered and then the 1503 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,720 government had to change the law, right. 1504 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:19,720 So look guys, it it might seem like this is this monolithic, 1505 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,720 you know, creature this, this this system that can't be 1506 01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,240 defeated. But you know, all it takes is 1507 01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:30,400 just strong minded individuals to stand up and say, look, 1508 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,800 enough is enough. Integrity's important. 1509 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,240 Honesty's important principles are important. 1510 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,760 Sound money is important. The truth is important, and 1511 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,680 things will change. So I do want to give BJ and 1512 01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,240 Brandon opportunity to give us some closing thoughts for the 1513 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,560 audience. And if you guys want to plug any 1514 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:50,880 things, I'm going to start with you, BJ. 1515 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,120 Yeah, a couple of white pills, you know, just to tack on to 1516 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,960 what you just said. The first thing is, you know, I 1517 01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,520 I ran for Parliament in Canada in 2015, so I know all our 1518 01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,560 parliamentarians. I know how the entire system 1519 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:08,560 works, and political parties are like cults, except they're cults 1520 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,920 where everybody's trying to stab each other in the back. 1521 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,000 So it's very easy to divide and conquer within the political 1522 01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,240 structure. The other thing is, we often 1523 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,720 talk about some of the wealthiest people in the world, 1524 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:24,080 and we do sometimes fall into the trap of collectivizing them 1525 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,800 under this postmodern worldview that, oh, there's a small group 1526 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,120 of people and they control everything and whatever. 1527 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,760 That is not been my experience there's been. 1528 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,200 There's a lot of very wealthy people who have competing 1529 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,400 interests and are competing with each other. 1530 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,880 But one of the most fascinating things I ever, I ever realized 1531 01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,360 by meeting some of these people, you know what they are. 1532 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:51,160 They're fuelled by fear because they are also afraid of the 1533 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,840 system collapsing. And many of them are trying to 1534 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:57,920 figure out what can I do to prevent this entire system from 1535 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,480 collapsing and where can I throw money? 1536 01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:03,240 And sometimes they get taken advantage of, sometimes they're 1537 01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:05,040 crazy, they put in the wrong direction. 1538 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,400 But a lot of those people are just trying to keep this all 1539 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,760 together because they often have more to lose than we do. 1540 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,880 So I I think there is hope. This is why I'm always positive 1541 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,920 about the future and bringing people together and so hopeful 1542 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:24,200 that people like sailor people of you know well means have 1543 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,240 gotten into the Bitcoin space where there's Paul Tudor Jones 1544 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,360 and other people that they're now understanding that our 1545 01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:36,040 system as it is cannot continue. And there is this protocol that 1546 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:40,160 none of them and nobody and no government controls. 1547 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,960 And over the long term that's going to allow us to achieve 1548 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,160 greater freedoms. And I look on the political 1549 01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,400 thing, the political spectrum, the last thing I look to 1550 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:54,800 Argentina and Javier Mile, knowing that Steven Hicks, one 1551 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:59,160 of my podcasters, has known him for many, many years, has shared 1552 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:03,440 a stage with him for many, many years and Argentina is left with 1553 01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:06,800 no options. That they have no option other 1554 01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:11,160 than to cut the size of their government significantly and 1555 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,800 right the ship. And they have been working since 1556 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:20,040 2010 to get somebody like me lay with his policies into power and 1557 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,840 they finally achieved it. And if he is successful? 1558 01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:26,200 I know the lobby class around the world because I know how it 1559 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,760 works. The lobby class that influences 1560 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:32,840 political parties around the world will see there's money in 1561 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:36,640 going with a more libertarian perspective moving forward. 1562 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,640 We just have to show them that Bitcoin is part of that vision 1563 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,360 and that will become the future for humanity. 1564 01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,000 Beautiful, beautiful vote BJ Ditcher. 1565 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,400 For. For for for Canadian president 1566 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:51,360 of. No, no, no. 1567 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,480 Just buy a copy of Honking for Freedom. 1568 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,800 You can do for freedom.com.

You could pull up on screen 1570 01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:01,720 Brandon last message to the audience. 1571 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,560 What would you say? Yeah, thanks Nico. 1572 01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,080 Thanks for having us on guys. You know someone in the comments 1573 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:10,040 again said you know the the Lord will take care of of the the 1574 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,040 evil ones and and some of these tyrants whatever. 1575 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:13,640 And and that is true. That's true in a way. 1576 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,720 And I thought it's a great comment but you know he will 1577 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,400 take care of those people. But I do believe, and that you 1578 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,560 know, in my opinion that you know some of us get revealed 1579 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:22,520 truth. I'm gonna. 1580 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,200 I'm gonna interject here, OK? I'm gonna interject here, All 1581 01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:26,840 right. I'm sorry for interrupting you, 1582 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,200 Brandon. Very good. 1583 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:32,040 The Lord gives you the power and the agency for you to take 1584 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,200 action, to do something about it. 1585 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:38,320 But if you're just going to look at the sky and expect things to 1586 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,200 fall on you, that's never going to happen, All right? 1587 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,600 I just wanted to say that no. No, that's and that's that's 1588 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,720 exactly where I was going. You know, God doesn't do things 1589 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,240 for us. He does things to and through 1590 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,080 us. And that's that's exactly where 1591 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,120 I was going at this. And you know he reveals truth to 1592 01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,920 well, I I think everyone if you wanted, but some of us, probably 1593 01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,280 a lot of us here are the ones that are seeing that truth. 1594 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,480 And my fear, you know, is that the ones that have been revealed 1595 01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:04,200 allow that truth. You have an obligation in, in my 1596 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,120 perspective to do something about that. 1597 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,640 I fear getting to the gate someday at the end of my life. 1598 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,200 And and and being asked what did you do with that knowledge that 1599 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:13,880 I gave you, with that truth that I gave you. 1600 01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,440 That's what drives me. That's the scariest thing in the 1601 01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:20,120 world to me to be revealed this this darkness that's happening 1602 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,520 but have and have that truth and not do anything about it. 1603 01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,320 It's kind of you know the talents in a way from the Bible. 1604 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,080 But you know again with Bitcoin trading cards we're we're trying 1605 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,160 to push the envelope like I said be the you know how can we fight 1606 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,480 against this. And so it's the the red pill and 1607 01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:36,880 orange pill ethos that are the company there is driven by which 1608 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,040 is one of the reasons that I I joined it almost a year and a 1609 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:41,080 half ago right when they when Aladdin started it. 1610 01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:43,720 So you know, we have kids, you know, there's some that don't 1611 01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,720 have kids. There's a huge group, you know 1612 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,080 of of a community now, 5-6 hundred people on our Telegram 1613 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:49,440 group and all kinds of pack stackers. 1614 01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:52,680 So it's an educational project, but we need, you know, 1615 01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:55,400 everyone's help.
