1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,200
It's. 
All going to zero against 

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Bitcoin. 
It's going up forever. 

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:24,320
You're against Bitcoin, You're 
against freedom November. 

4
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,960
The speed at which Bitcoin will 
be adopted globally will 

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,400
accelerate by a decade. 
And if we can get two nations, 

6
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,880
two nations in the world to be 
competing over Bitcoin and over 

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,200
Bitcoin dominance, it will 
induce every nation on the 

8
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,680
planet to compete in the Bitcoin
space race. 

9
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,280
And so if you want to see the 
price of Bitcoin sent to the 

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,640
literal moon, what are we 
talking about here? 

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,280
You're teasing again, David, 
what are we talking about here? 

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,560
When you say moon, I, I, I'm 
saying I'm saying if you want to

13
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,360
see Bitcoin since the moon, what
we need to do is have nation 

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,599
state 1/2 a million dollars, 
100,200 thousand, $1,000,000 

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,560
plus. 
OK, there we go $1,000,000 plus 

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Bitcoin prices. 
We need nation states competing 

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,400
over Bitcoin. 
And you know, you can't have 

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,960
competition if you only have one
person doing it. 

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,000
So if we can if we can 
accelerate what's happening 

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,200
here, we can accelerate hyper 
Bitcoin ization dramatically and

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,960
I think everyone yeah, we're 
gonna assume the Bitcoin live 

22
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800
the number one source for the 
peaceful Bitcoin revolution 

23
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
cover breaking news culture 
magic warfare will be your guide

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,840
through the separation of money.
Say ladies and gentlemen, sit 

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,680
back, relax, enjoy the ride. 
Welcome to the most watched 

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,440
daily Bitcoin only live show on 
YouTube Rumble NX. 

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640
You just heard a clip in the 
cold opening from David Bailey. 

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,360
David Bailey's the CEO of BTC 
Inc, the owners of the Bitcoin 

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,720
conference and Bitcoin Magazine.
He just came on Simply Bitcoin 

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400
IRL yesterday. 
Highly suggest you guys watch 

31
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,160
that entire episode. 
It was incredibly bullish. 

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,160
But David was essentially 
talking about something that Max

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,160
has been talking about. 
And we're going to play you guys

34
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
a clip of Kaiser. 
He went on this pretty popular 

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,280
show this last week or so, but 
essentially it's the global hash

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,240
wars like Kaiser likes to talk 
about it. 

37
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,480
We want nation states competing 
for Bitcoin. 

38
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,720
We want nation states competing 
for Bitcoin miners. 

39
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,440
We want nation states competing 
for Bitcoin businesses. 

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,520
Because when nation states 
compete, when jurisdictions 

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,600
compete, you as the individual 
win because you get to decide 

42
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280
where is more favorable for you 
to set up shop. 

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,080
So it's incredibly bullish. 
I do agree with David in the 

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,560
sense that this year, this 
election year is quite 

45
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,120
interesting, right? 
You have RFK and Trump on one 

46
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,000
side and then you have the Biden
Harris administration on the 

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,080
other side. 
And unfortunately, I think the 

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,800
last, you know, year or so have 
shown that Operation choke point

49
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,920
O the proposed Bitcoin mining 
ban. 

50
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Of course, Ross, I mean, Trump 
and RFK offering that they're 

51
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560
going to free Ross. 
You know, it's become this 

52
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,280
situation where, you know, the 
2024 election is an election 

53
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,120
that will have consequences for 
the Bitcoin industry in the 

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,960
United States. 
And that's essentially what what

55
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,400
what David Bailey was saying and
part of the reason that they 

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,880
brought Trump and RFK to the 
Bitcoin conference. 

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Now a little known fact, which 
is why I recommend watching the 

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,240
entire episode. 
Yesterday, David Bailey revealed

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,600
that the seek, the reason that 
the Trump speech was delayed was

60
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040
because there was supposed to be
a fireside chat after the Trump 

61
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,040
speech between Elon and Trump at
the Bitcoin conference. 

62
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480
That didn't happen. 
But you know what did happen? 

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,640
It happened yesterday, 
absolutely broke the Internet. 

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,960
Some of the figures are saying 
that we had essentially over a 

65
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,800
billion views. 
I was having a trouble. 

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,880
I was having trouble getting 
into the spaces. 

67
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Apparently there was a DDoS 
attack, right? 

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000
There was. 
They were just flooding the 

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,480
system. 
They didn't want people to tune 

70
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,440
in, but the spaces still 
happened. 

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,840
It was three hours long. 
And again, we're not a political

72
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,240
show. 
We're not going to focus on the 

73
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,960
rhetoric. 
That's not what you guys tune 

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,960
into simply Bitcoin about. 
The part that we are going to 

75
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,000
focus on though is they talked 
about inflation. 

76
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,519
One of the things that I've 
always told you guys on the show

77
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,840
is we want people to ask a very 
simple question and we're 

78
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:30,240
getting very close. 
And that simple question is, why

79
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,360
do I, why am I being forced to 
be illegal tender laws to use 

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,720
the money that loses purchasing 
power? 

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Question number one. 
And question #2 is why should 

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
money have to lose purchasing 
power in order to function, 

83
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,640
right? 
Those are the two questions. 

84
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920
The reason those two questions 
are so important is that they're

85
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,840
somewhat simple questions. 
And once people like embrace 

86
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,640
that, because inflation right 
now, the way that it's talked 

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,280
about, it's talked about like as
if it's like Mother Nature, it's

88
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,480
a fact of life. 
That's just the way things are. 

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,160
But that's not the way things 
are. 

90
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560
And one of the things that Elon 
said and Trump were talking 

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,880
about was to get government 
spending under control because 

92
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,760
that's what's going to control 
inflation. 

93
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,120
That's true, but Bitcoiners are 
a step ahead. 

94
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Why are we a step ahead? 
Because it's not just about 

95
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,680
identifying the problem and a 
short term fix. 

96
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:30,720
Because let's say Trump or RFK 
or whatever wins the election 

97
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,520
and they cut down government 
spending. 

98
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,600
There could be another election,
there could be another 

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,440
government. 
They could spend a lot more 

100
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,160
money. 
The solution to this is saving 

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,600
and earning in the money of 
which the government can't, 

102
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,800
can't debase in order to pay for
their own expenses. 

103
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,080
That inevitably becomes a 
forcing function over time. 

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,640
It's like a check on government 
spending, but not from a like 

105
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,000
I'm going to vote type of thing.
It's I'm going to vote with my 

106
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,760
wallet and I'm going to save and
earn in Bitcoin type of vote. 

107
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,920
And that I believe is the most 
effective vote you can make. 

108
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,000
And believe me when I tell you 
guys this, we are very close to 

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,560
that even being mentioned. 
We are on the cusp of that being

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,040
mentioned. 
And once that's out of the bag, 

111
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,480
you can't put that back in the 
bag. 

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,520
And there really isn't a good 
excuse in regards to government 

113
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400
spending because the fact is 
that it hurts everybody 

114
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,640
tremendously, specifically the 
lower and middle classes that 

115
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
don't have the means to save in 
assets there. 

116
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,920
Therefore they save and earn in 
Fiat and they get destroyed by 

117
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,920
the ravages of inflation. 
Bitcoin is for you. 

118
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Bitcoin will save your 
purchasing power. 

119
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,840
Bitcoin is the solution to 
inflation. 

120
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,800
That's just my humble opinion. 
Maybe I'm totally wrong here, 

121
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960
but maybe I've just spent way 
too much time in Bitcoin, but I 

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,840
think we're very, very close and
you want to bring up my Co host 

123
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:03,040
Miss Fields and our guests for 
today, Raj Raj is with the speed

124
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,160
wallet. 
Well, gentlemen, I'm sure maybe 

125
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,440
you didn't TuneIn, perhaps you 
didn't tune into the interview 

126
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,560
yesterday. 
But Raj, what was your take on 

127
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,360
that man? 
It's specifically not all the 

128
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,360
other political rhetoric and 
stuff, but as it as it relates 

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,920
to inflation being brought up in
the discussion, I think you're 

130
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:31,000
muted, Raj. 
Yeah, I think it was an 

131
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,920
interesting discussion 
throughout. 

132
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,560
They spoke all about the fiscal 
deficit and everything and 

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,600
didn't mention Bitcoin. 
That is not what I expected. 

134
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640
I think they should have. 
I mean, it's the most obvious 

135
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,760
solution like, you know, to, to 
hold, you know, overspending and

136
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,360
everything because, you know, we
may have another four years of 

137
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,760
Trump and let's say we have 
efficiency Commission and, you 

138
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920
know, we cut down on the 
regulation, bring the spending 

139
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,080
down, But you know, we'll have 
another government would come 

140
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
and then, you know, we we'll 
have the same, you know, 

141
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,040
overspending and everything. 
So if you want to really solve 

142
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,800
this for long term, we just, you
know, have the Bitcoin and, and 

143
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280
go from there. 
And you said inflation, 

144
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,560
inflation is a curse, But I 
would say, you know, deflation 

145
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,400
is awesome. 
Like, you know, we need to make 

146
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,720
that as a narrative. 
You know, price dropping, 

147
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,120
deflation is really good. 
Like it it's, it's good for 

148
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,360
consumer, it's good for 
everyone. 

149
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,159
Yeah, it may be tough for 
businesses, but I think they 

150
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:38,240
will they will add up to that. 
100% it, it, it's, it's good for

151
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000
everyone and, and people believe
in that like you, you, I've 

152
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200
heard, I've heard people talk 
about it's like deflation is so 

153
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,920
dangerous. 
It's like you mean by purchasing

154
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,200
power going up is dangerous. 
Like that's crazy. 

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,040
That's crazy that they even 
frame it that way, you know? 

156
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,920
Yeah. 
I mean, I think, I think we need

157
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720
to set the narrative where we 
say that deflation is awesome, 

158
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,760
it's good. 
I mean, just make that as a 

159
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,520
position. 
And, you know, I think there is 

160
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,720
no need to kind of, you know, 
focus a lot on maybe like 

161
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
inflation and changing that 
narrative. 

162
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,880
We just set our own story. 
Yeah. 

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Deflation, yeah, I think 100%. 
I think you had Jeff Booth on 

164
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
the show, right? 
I think we and yeah, I think 

165
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,960
he's written pretty good book on
deflation and everything. 

166
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,160
It was eye opener for me. 
Yeah, he he now in the way that 

167
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,280
he talks about it is just, you 
know, it's he he obviously has 

168
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480
nailed this down to a science, 
you know, so Jeff knows what 

169
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,840
he's talking about. 
Anyways, guys, there's about 590

170

00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560
during the culture? 
Well, we got Raj here from Speed

174
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,440

So we're going to talk about, 

175
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,200
you know, Bitcoin scaling 
Lightning and of course the 

176
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880
project they're working on over 
there at Speed Wallet, which is 

177
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,120
I, I, I don't want to call it a 
relatively new Lightning wallet,

178
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,400
but it really just kind of hit 
the scene on, on my radar in the

179
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,800
last couple of weeks. 
So we're going to talk about all

180
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,560
things Lightning today and and 
how Raj and the Speed Wallet 

181
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:15,240
team is working to improve the 
Lightning experience for every 

182
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,600
single one of us. 100% I'm I'm 
really excited about it yeah, 

183
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,160
you guys kind of came out of out
of nowhere and you guys hit the 

184
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,120

209
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,560
All right, everybody, I do want 
to give a shout out to our 

210
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:50,960
sponsor, Stamp Seed. 
It's a titanium seed phrase 

211
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440
storage kit. 
It's proof of work seed frayed 

212
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,680
storage. 
That's right. 

213
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,160
It's a hammer. 
It comes with a plate. 

214
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,200
It comes with letter stamping 
tools and you literally hammer 

215
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,000
in your seed into a titanium 
seed plate. 

216
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,800
This is 100 million times 
better. 

217
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,440
I don't even know if that's the 
right number, but I'm going to 

218
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480
say it anyways.

Do you think your dog could eat 
a a slate of titanium? 

222
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,280

7.05% In the gram scheme of 

236
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,280
things. 
We are just getting started 

237
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:37,360
anyways as it relates to 
yesterday's spaces between Elon 

238
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,040
and Trump. 
I do want to preface this with a

239
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,040
small quote from the Bitcoin 
president himself Naimbu Kelly 

240
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,080
and this article is always stuck
with me. 

241
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,240
And in in this regard. 
He's referencing the people that

242
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,680
were against the the the Bitcoin
law in El Salvador. 

243
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,800
So, and he makes a really good 
point and it explains a lot of 

244
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:07,200
the reasons as to why a lot of 
people were against the spaces 

245
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,840
that were happening yesterday. 
So I'm just gonna read a little 

246
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360
bit of this. 
He goes on to say the most vocal

247
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,800
detractors, the ones who are 
afraid and pressuring us to 

248
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,320
reverse our decision are the 
world's most powerful elites and

249
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,360
the people who work for benefit 
from them. 

250
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
And I'm going to go back to go 
to the bottom. 

251
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,720
And they're willing to fight, 
lie, smear, destroy, censor, 

252
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,320
confiscate, print and do 
whatever it takes to maintain 

253
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,800
and increase their control over 
the truth and everything and 

254
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640
everyone. 
And again, this isn't simply 

255
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,920
Bitcoin saying this. 
This is the president of El 

256
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,040
Salvador, Naimbu Kelly, writing 
an article for Bitcoin magazine.

257
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640
All right, that being said, what
was really interesting also is 

258
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,800
that the European Union actually
sent a letter to Elon Musk 

259
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,560
basically telling that he 
shouldn't do the spaces, which 

260
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,480
is kind of, it's very 
interesting, right? 

261
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:01,360
You like European bureaucrats 
are sending letters to the the 

262
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,360
the owner of Twitter, but most 
importantly, a presidential 

263
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,200
candidate saying that they can't
have that conversation that 

264
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,160
that's really interesting. 
Now take a look at the legacy 

265
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,920
media's response to the 
interview. 

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,560
I'm going to just read some of 
these headlines. 

267
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Start from the top left. 
USA TODAY says Trump rambles, 

268
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,560
slurs his way through Elon Musk 
interview. 

269
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,200
It was an unmitigated disaster. 
Fox News says Kamala Harris 

270
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,840
campaign criticizes Trump for 
self-serving up self self 

271
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,960
obsessed rich guys after 
interview with Elon Musk 

272
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Newsweek says Trump Donald 
Trump's lisp during Elon Musk 

273
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,080
interview raises questions, The 
Guardian says. 

274
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,520
So Donald chatted with Elon and 
here's the future as they see 

275
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,640
it. 
Losers win. 

276
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Incompetence rules. 
The New York Times says Must 

277
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,160
Trump talk on X After glitches 
start a 2 hour ramble. 

278
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,160
The Guardian again says the must
Trump X interview a surprisingly

279
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,560
dull meeting of two planet sized
egos. 

280
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Wired says Donald Trump and Elon
Musk's ex conversation took 

281
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,080
forever to start, then never 
ended. 

282
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,360
The Independent says Trump 
repeats same old talking points 

283
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,600
in Musk interview but lisp 
steals the show. 

284
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,320
The Verge says the Elon slash 
Trump interview on X started 

285
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,040
with an immediate tech disaster.
The Hollywood Reporter says Elon

286
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Musk got EU disinformation 
warning before rambling Donald 

287
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Trump interview on X Reuters 
said rambling Trump Musk 

288
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,280
interview marred by tech issues.
CNN Fact Check Trump made at 

289
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,160
least 20 false claims in his 
conversation with Elon Musk. 

290
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,920
So you guys get the point. 
The media wasn't exactly a fan 

291
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,040
of the conversation that 
happened yesterday. 

292
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,480
And also check this out. 
Here is a legacy media reporter 

293
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,440
actually asking the White House 
if they're going to censor the 

294
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,640
conversation. 
Check it out. 

295
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,920
Elon Musk is slated to interview
Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on

296
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480
on X. 
I don't know if the president's 

297
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,880
going to do it. 
Feel free to say if he is or 

298
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,880
not. 
But I, I think that 

299
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,400
misinformation on Twitter is not
just a campaign issue. 

300
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,440
It's a, you know, it's a America
issue. 

301
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,000
What role does the White House 
or the president have in sort of

302
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,760
stopping that or stopping the 
spread of that or sort of inter 

303
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,119
intervening in that? 
Some of that was about campaign 

304
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,640
misinformation, but you know, 
it's a wider thing, right? 

305
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,480
Yeah, no. 
And you've heard us talk about 

306
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,640
this many times from here about 
the responsibilities that social

307
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,720
media platforms have when it 
comes to misinformation, 

308
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,920
disinformation. 
Don't have anything to read out 

309
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,200
from here about specific ways 
that we're working on it, but we

310
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,400
believe that that they have the 
responsibility. 

311
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,960
These are private companies. 
So we're also mindful of that 

312
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,080
too. 
But look, it is, I think it, it 

313
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,240
is incredibly important to to 
call that out as you're, you're 

314
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,920
doing. 
I just don't have any specifics 

315
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,040
on on what we've been doing 
internally. 

316
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:05,840
So let me just kind of break 
this down for a SEC, right? 

317
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,240
I read you the bit by Naimbu 
Kelly, right? 

318
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,320
The most important tool is their
control over the truth. 

319
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:18,080
I read you this letter by the 
EU, you know, sending it to Elon

320
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,680
basically saying you can't have 
this. 

321
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,240
You have the legacy media going 
on a full on assault on this 

322
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,760
interview. 
And then you have here a legacy 

323
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,560
media journalist asking, you 
know, the White House press 

324
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,520
secretary like, you know, or 
what are you going to do to 

325
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
censor this? 
Now, here's the thing. 

326
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,200
Trump is a divisive figure for a
lot of people. 

327
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,760
I could say that, you know that 
that can be true. 

328
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:49,040
But what could also be true is 
why they so afraid of people 

329
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,360
listening and making their own 
decisions. 

330
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,440
Why do they get to be arbiters 
of the truth? 

331
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:56,760
I mean, I think Bouquet laid it 
out. 

332
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,800
We're perfectly right. 
That to me, regardless of your 

333
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,400
political views, is a terrifying
world to be in where a 

334
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,920
bureaucratic elite, a 
journalistic elite get to decide

335
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,120
what you can and what you can't 
listen to. 

336
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,600
That's very scary. 
That's a very scary world world.

337
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,240
And the reason that we talk 
about this is you guys know how 

338
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,480
we stand on the show. 
It's not left versus right. 

339
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,080
It's not liberal versus 
conservative. 

340
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,960
It's the party of green, the 
party of Fiat, central bank, 

341
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,440
digital currencies, nihilism, 
poverty versus the party of 

342
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,200
orange, the party of Bitcoin, 
opportunity, peace and 

343
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,240
prosperity. 
That's the way that we see this.

344
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,080
This is the party of Green. 
This is the party of basically 

345
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,120
saying you like, don't even 
bother listening to it. 

346
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,320
We'll tell you it's horrible. 
It's terrible. 

347
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,920
Like you might agree with that. 
Like I listened to that 

348
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,640
interview. 
There's a part that I do agree 

349
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,640
that, you know, Trump. 
There's some parts where I'm 

350
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,520
like, I don't agree. 
Or, you know, maybe he just he 

351
00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,320
was long winded many times you 
could say, but at least I heard 

352
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,200
it. 
And now I'm making a decision 

353
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,520
about what I heard by myself. 
Right. 

354
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,760
And I would much rather live in 
that world where individuals are

355
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,760
making decisions over their 
lives. 

356
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,320
It's not journalists and it's 
not the government, especially 

357
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,360
the government getting to 
dictate what is true and what is

358
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,200
not true. 
That's a very scary world to 

359
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,360
live in. 
And the last thing that I want 

360
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:25,560
to focus on, and the reason that
I'm bringing this up today is 

361
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,400
because they brought up 
inflation. 

362
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960
And remember, inflation is a 
really kind of like hot button 

363
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,120
issue to some government 
politicians and to some people, 

364
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,680
the way that they see inflation 
is they blame everything and 

365
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,720
anything on inflation but 
government spending. 

366
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,720
So the fact that this was 
brought up was very important. 

367
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,400
And you want to kind of know a 
reason as to why they're getting

368
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,480
so many attacks other than a lot
of the other political talking 

369
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,840
points that we're not going to 
bring up on. 

370
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,440
Simply, I bet you that a lot of 
it has to relate with the fact 

371
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080
of saying this choir part out 
loud, right? 

372
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,720
Which is I'm going to quote it 
here. 

373
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Actually, I think I have the 
actual audio clips about a 

374
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
minute and 14 seconds. 
So I'll play it for you guys. 

375
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,960
You know, as you're saying, you 
know, a lot of people are 

376
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,840
concerned about the economy, a 
lot of people concerned about 

377
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,840
inflation. 
Inflation is effectively a tax 

378
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,120
on people that, that, that save 
money. 

379
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,680
And, and, and for people that 
are working day-to-day, it's, 

380
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,320
it's just, it's just a form of 
taxation. 

381
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,360
And if we can solve the 
government spending problem, 

382
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,120
we'll solve the inflation 
problem, which means people will

383
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,120
have a better standard of 
living. 

384
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,440
And that's a really big, the 
people that got hurt worse are 

385
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,640
the people that did it the way 
they were taught to do it all 

386
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,960
through their younger life and 
their young life and their whole

387
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,720
life. 
The people that saved money and 

388
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,000
then they got no interest on 
their money and inflation 

389
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,360
destroyed them. 
And frankly, they were almost 

390
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:46,760
better off if they didn't do 
anything like that. 

391
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,600
I mean, those people have been 
absolutely decimated. 

392
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,440
And we're going to bring those 
people back and help those 

393
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,920
people. 
We've got to get the prices 

394
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,480
down. 
You know, when I look at bacon 

395
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,400
costing 5, four or five times 
more than it did a few years 

396
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,760
ago, when when you look at some 
of the food products and, and 

397
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,280
grocery stores people go, they 
can't believe it. 

398
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,440
They used to be able to buy a 
whole cart. 

399
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,200
And today, you know, a lot of 
people just don't have the 

400
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,520
money. 
They go in and they can't buy 

401
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,040
anything. 
So good kind of, you know, goes 

402
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,640
into the political rhetoric and 
whatever. 

403
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,560
And it's like Trump good, you 
know, other party bad. 

404
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,400
But the point is, is that it's 
being talked about. 

405
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,360
Inflation is a problem. 
Now, here's where I think 

406
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:23,640
Bitcoiners are ahead and where 
we have a responsibility. 

407
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200
And here's some original thought
I had from last night. 

408
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,800
I said the problem is trusting 
that government won't overspend.

409
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:33,080
Bitcoin fixes this because it 
requires no trust. 

410
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560
Bitcoin is the solution to 
inflation. 

411
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,320
This is something that Raj was 
saying in the beginning of the 

412
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,600
show. 
Like let's say we get Trump into

413
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,480
the office, Whoop Dee Doo, 
right? 

414
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,200
There could be another 
administration. 

415
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,000
You know what they're going to 
do? 

416
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Overspend. 
The the the solution isn't 

417
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,240
fixed. 
It's kind of like a Band-Aid, 

418
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,640
right? 
But again, it moves the Overton 

419
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,400
window and it brings that 
discourse into the mainstream. 

420
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,920
Now there's a whole lot of 
people that are now opening 

421
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,680
their eyes and they're asking 
questions about inflation. 

422
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,840
They're asking questions about 
like, yeah, things are getting 

423
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,600
more expensive. 
That road is A1 Ray Road. 

424
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,720
And at the very end, it leads to
Bitcoin, right? 

425
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,160
So our job as Bitcoiners is to 
accelerate that. 

426
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,880
Don't get lost in the sauce with
the whole left and right 

427
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:25,400
Democrat Republican debate 
because that's a hot pile of 

428
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,240
garbage. 
But focus on providing the 

429
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,200
solution and the solution is 
Bitcoin and it helps everyone, 

430
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,640
right? 
It doesn't matter where you 

431
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,760
stand on the political aisle, 
Bitcoin is for you and Bitcoin 

432
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,080
will make your life better. 
I love the way that Rajput 

433
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,680
posted it. 
Let's make deflation popular. 

434
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,920
Let's bring back deflation. 
Let's make deflation the thing 

435
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,000
that people talk about because I
think people are brainwashed in 

436
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,160
a way. 
Like even Elon, like Elon is in 

437
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,680
so intelligent. 
The guy lands his rockets, you 

438
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,280
know, build self driving cars. 
His products are great. 

439
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,120
I mean, depends on who you ask. 
I personally love his products, 

440
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:08,200
but you know, even Elon's 
talking about like, oh, this 

441
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,600
inflation thing get get it under
control. 

442
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,560
It's like they can't get it 
under control. 

443
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,760
That's the whole point. 
They don't have if the 

444
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,000
government has the ability to 
press the P button right to fund

445
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,320
whatever they would like, 
they're going to press that 

446
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,360
button. 
That's something that Satoshi 

447
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:26,200
innately knew. 
He even wrote about it in the 

448
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,880
forums, right? 
This the only way to fix this is

449
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840
the separation money and say the
only way to fix this is by 

450
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,360
opting out and saving and 
earning in the money that can't 

451
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:39,720
be debased regardless of who's 
in office and who's in power. 

452
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000
But in terms of moving the 
Overton window, it was moved 

453
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,920
tremendously. 
I'm more pro free speech. 

454
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,880
There should be more open 
discussion. 

455
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,560
There shouldn't be less of it. 
And it, it does alarm me a 

456
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,080
little bit that there was so 
much pushback for this 

457
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,120
discussion. 
It kind of reminds me of the 

458
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:03,040
time of of when Tucker wanted to
talk to Putin and they did so 

459
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,040
many things in order to stop 
that interview. 

460
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:08,160
And I was just thinking about it
like, OK, maybe Putin's a bad 

461
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,600
guy. 
He's a president of Russia. 

462
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,280
You could say that he's an 
authoritarian. 

463
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,760
You could say all of those 
things. 

464
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,120
But like, what? 
How's the conversation going to 

465
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:19,160
hurt anybody, Right? 
Like, that's the question that I

466
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,200
have. 
Anyways. 

467
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,840
Raj, what are your thoughts on 
this? 

468
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,920
It sounds like you heard the 
interview yesterday, but I 

469
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,680
really just want to focus on the
inflation because that's really 

470
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,400
what that's really what's going 
to fix things is moving to a 

471
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Bitcoin standard. 
Yeah, definitely. 

472
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:38,000
So I think Elon says that 
government overspending will or 

473
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,800
not overspending will solve for 
the inflation. 

474
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,080
I don't think so. 
It's it's one of the 

475
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,240
contributing factors. 
But if you look at the M2 money 

476
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,480
supply, it's function of not 
only government deficits, but 

477
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,880
also like central bank setting 
the cost of the money sometimes 

478
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,400
too loose, sometimes too tight. 
We go from booms and busts and 

479
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,520
we have stimulus stimulus, we 
have bailouts. 

480
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,040
All this leads to excessive like
money printing and it is kind of

481
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,040
a all combined is kind of a root
cause of inflation. 

482
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:17,600
So he didn't bring that up. 
I don't know why, but I think 

483
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:24,120
this I mean central bank just 
setting kind of, you know, cost 

484
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:27,320
of the money, like just old 
people getting together in the 

485
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:33,000
room and just having a feel for 
economy, some collecting some 

486
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,320
data, which is usually like 
stale and kind of disconnected, 

487
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,720
skewed in several ways to set 
the cost of the money is is 

488
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,120
what's the root cause here. 
And with the Bitcoin we get, we 

489
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:51,160
have predictability, right? 
We have, we know what would be, 

490
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,200
I mean, the market would decide 
the cost of the money with the 

491
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040
economic monetary policy is it 
is transparent. 

492
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:04,680
And yeah, I think Bitcoin is a 
proper solution. 

493
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,440
Like you know, it's as you said,
Nico on your tweet, right, No 

494
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,760
trust required. 
You know what? 

495
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Implement Bitcoin and that's 
about it, yeah. 100% Opti, 

496
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,320
what's your take on this, 
brother? 

497
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,320
I mean, we were talking about it
when the when the space was 

498
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,520
happening according to the 
latest figures, right? 

499
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,600
A billion people apparently have
gotten, have listened to it, 

500
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,560
have viewed it. 
So this got a tremendous amount 

501
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,080
of reach. 
And I think the legacy media 

502
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,280
attacking it, if anything, it 
backfired. 

503
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,040
And, and, and again, I can't 
double this. 

504
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Look, I get Trump's divisive, 
you might not like him, but I 

505
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,480
don't think, I think we're 
heading to dangerous territory 

506
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,600
where people just say you can't 
listen to someone what they have

507
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,800
to say in their perspective. 
I think that's I don't wanna 

508
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,160
kind of live in that world. 
I kind of want the individuals 

509
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,800
to get to decide what they wanna
listen to, what they don't wanna

510
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,600
listen to. 
I don't think that should be in 

511
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,280
the hands of government. 
Opti, what's your take? 

512
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,600
Yeah, obviously, I mean, we've 
talked about this constantly on 

513
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,640
the show, but I think the 
biggest signal from yesterday 

514
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,320
was the fact that there was a 
DDoS attack on this, this 

515
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,120
conversation happening in the 
1st place. 

516
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:18,160
Like if you listen to the 
speech, I don't really think 

517
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,200
that there was anything that was
really too crazy upon the 

518
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,040
speech. 
It was it. 

519
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800
And you could say it was 
rambling and, you know, maybe a 

520
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,920
little stale because it was just
like the same talking point 

521
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,720
we've heard from Trump. 
If you've listened to anything 

522
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,920
you said in the last year or so.
So it wasn't anything new that 

523
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,920
we heard in here. 
But the fact that they didn't 

524
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,000
want to have this conversation, 
it is, I think the most telling 

525
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,640
aspect of this is like, you 
know, I was trolling yesterday 

526
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,000
on Twitter. 
It's like me sitting listening 

527
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,200
to two billionaires have a 
casual conversation. 

528
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,440
It's like a meme of me, you 
know, listening. 

529
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,040
It would like it, my friends. 
And it's an ad. 

530
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,640
And so it's just very 
interesting that they would try 

531
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,800
to stop this conversation from 
happening. 

532
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,680
And I think it really goes to 
show that they obviously, one, 

533
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,280
do not want people to get that 
like humanized feeling coming 

534
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,760
out of Trump. 
They want those sound bites 

535
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,000
coming out of it. 
And again, like the, I think the

536
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,200
fact that Elon Musk was able to 
identify the the, the problem of

537
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,240
inflation and he was sounding 
like a Bitcoin. 

538
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,160
And I think that's things that 
we said on the show all the 

539
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,480
time, which is very interesting 
that he won't come out and be 

540
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,960
like, OK, Bitcoin's a solution. 
Obviously that's not really his 

541
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,520
Ave. or his lane here, but it is
one of the defining 

542
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,840
conversations right now. 
Everyone is getting poorer and 

543
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,720
we're all looking for solutions.
And most people think it's going

544
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,960
to be a political solution. 
Like most people think that if 

545
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,280
they vote the right guy in 
office, then we're not going to 

546
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,360
have inflation. 
And as Bitcoins, they're like, 

547
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,600
no, like they're all Fiat. 
They're they're all, you know, a

548
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,920
uniparty at this point. 
And whoever gets in power is 

549
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,360
probably going to print more 
money. 

550
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680
And none of this is going to 
help you. 

551
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,480
All you need to do is literally 
start saving in Bitcoin And at 

552
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,960
at this point find your own 
sources of information. 

553
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Because if they don't want to 
have this conversation happen in

554
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,280
the 1st place, I think that's 
the most telling aspect of this 

555
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440
whole thing where it's like that
conversation wasn't nefarious. 

556
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,240
It would like, nothing crazy was
really said throughout that 

557
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,880
conversation. 
It was just, it's like, OK, this

558
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,080
is where we are. 
Me and Nico were texting during 

559
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,320
the the spaces and we were both 
just like, man, it's really a 

560
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,840
historic moment when you can sit
here and just have an 

561
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840
unprompted, unscripted 
conversation between a 

562
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,640
presidential candidate and, you 
know, one of what, what people 

563
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,000
would argue one of the most 
impressive entrepreneurs in the 

564
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
world right now. 
So like, I think this is the new

565
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,960
age of the media that we're at. 
And This is why you're seeing 

566
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,360
that media response where 
they're like trying to downplay 

567
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,600
the historic moment that 
happened yesterday. 

568
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040
And I saw it was like 60 million
yesterday. 

569
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,280
That has saw the views around it
was live. 

570
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,680
There's a million plus live 
viewers watching and listening 

571
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,400
throughout the whole, what was 
it, 2 hour speech or two hour 

572
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,240
conversation? 
So like, it really goes to show 

573
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,680
the power of social media, the 
power of peer-to-peer 

574
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,200
communication in the 1st place. 
But yeah, it's, it's really 

575
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,440
interesting the the backlash and
the DDoS attack on, I would say 

576
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,200
a very, you know, very 
elementary conversation. 

577
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,600
The fact that they don't want 
this conversation to happen, I 

578
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,960
think speaks volumes. 
Absolutely 100% by the way, 

579
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,520

wallet. 
All right, everybody. 

611
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,720
So let's talk about Kaiser 
Kaiser again, once again 

612
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,840
breaking the Overton window. 
He went on Infowars and he's 

613
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,200
been saying like very something 
very similar that what David 

614
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,960
Bailey was saying in in the 
beginning. 

615
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,720
Not to mention that everything 
is going to zero against 

616
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,400
Bitcoin, which is incredibly 
obvious. 

617
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,240
I mean, you guys know that we 
absolutely love this website 

618
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,400
priced in Bitcoin because it 
just shows that what Kaiser is 

619
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,360
saying is absolutely right. 
Everything price in Bitcoin just

620
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,600
keeps going down and life gets 
cheaper in let's make deflation 

621
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,960
popular again, right? 
What Raj was saying, everything 

622
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,960
gets cheaper if you price your 
life in Bitcoin, including 

623
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,000
housing. 
Even with housing prices 

624
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,960
doubling or whatever, they've 
only doubled if you've been 

625
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,320
saving in Fiat, if you've been 
saving in Bitcoin. 

626
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,880
No, no, no, no, they haven't 
been doubling. 

627
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,160
They've gone down 84% in the 
last five years. 

628
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Can you imagine that? 
An 84% discount on real estate, 

629
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,280
that's what. 
That's what Kaiser means about 

630
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,239
everything going to zero against
Bitcoin. 

631
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,360
Anyways, let's play the clip of 
him on Infowars. 

632
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,760
Let's check it out. 
Bitcoin, the economy? 

633
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,400
What are you betting on? 
What Any other key points you 

634
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,480
wish you would have added after 
you leave? 

635
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,320
Well, every, everything goes to 
zero against Bitcoin. 

636
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,600
And you know what do I mean by 
that? 

637
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,719
I mean that in, in terms of 
purchasing power. 

638
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,120
So your purchasing power of your
dollar obviously is going to go 

639
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,239
down versus Bitcoin, but your 
purchasing power in terms of 

640
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,560
gold, property, fine art, your 
business, stocks, bonds, 

641
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,560
everything, the purchasing power
of everything relative to 

642
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,400
Bitcoin is going to go down 
because it's only a $1.2 

643
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,679
trillion asset in the world of 
$400 trillion worth of financial

644
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:54,600
assets, financialized assets. 
So and just like software ate 

645
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,480
the world during the 70s and 80s
and every company in the world 

646
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,000
became essentially a software 
company. 

647
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,480
You know, car companies are a 
software company, airlines are a

648
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,640
software company. 
All value will become priced in 

649
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,120
Bitcoin. 
Everything will be priced in 

650
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,880
Bitcoin, particularly energy. 
I would say the next big 

651
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,560
prediction, I'll make a 
prediction here is that within 

652
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,000
24 months, all the major global 
energy contracts will be priced 

653
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000
in Bitcoin, not dollars. 
And that will be the end of the 

654
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,680
Fiat money world as we know it 
officially and the beginning of 

655
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,200
the Bitcoin epoch. 
What comes after Bitcoin 

656
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,240
standard? 
Well, it it what comes after it 

657
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:35,880
is the demonetization of 
violence and the monetization of

658
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,120
love. 
Not to get too freaking over the

659
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,320
top crazy Alex, but I do really 
do liken it to like a Christ two

660
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,200
point O it's, it's a story about
love where if you cannot steal 

661
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,720
somebody's wealth through 
violence because Bitcoin is 

662
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:54,720
unconfiscatable, you can only 
approach people within the 

663
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:59,120
intention of Fair trade. 
And that demonetizes violence. 

664
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,760
And the profound quality of this
is what happened in El Salvador.

665
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,160
They made Bitcoin legal tender 
and within three months the 

666
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,160
president put 70,000 gangsters 
in jail because Bitcoin makes 

667
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,160
you think differently. 
You know, you don't change 

668
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,960
Bitcoin. 
Bitcoin changes you. 

669
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,120
And this is what the world has 
on the other side of this Fiat 

670
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,760
money collapse. 
If we get there, if we survive 

671
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,960
the next 24 months and the Fiat 
money collapse, we will wake up 

672
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,920
as a global Bitcoin standard and
a moment of Christ like 

673
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,160
universal love. 
If we can get there, we got to 

674
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,720
get through the next 24 months. 
We got to get Trump in office. 

675
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,920
We have to defeat the global 
bankers. 

676
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,600
I mean, holy shit, it's like Max
Keiser dropping hot fire. 

677
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,360
And yeah, 100% agree. 
Bitcoin changes your operating 

678
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,440
system. 
It changes your whole 

679
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,160
perspective on the world. 
When you're on a deflationary 

680
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,960
mindset and things just get 
progressively cheaper. 

681
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,680
Your perspective changes. 
When all of a sudden you feel 

682
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,880
the power of taking self custody
and you, you know for a fact 

683
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,360
that your wealth is 
unconfiscatable, undebaseable. 

684
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,760
Yeah, that gives you a lot of 
Peace of Mind. 

685
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,640
You sleep better at night and 
all of a sudden your life gets 

686
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,600
progressively better. 
You have more optimism. 

687
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,560
You have more hope about the 
future. 

688
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,760
And the vast majority of the 
world is still on this Fiat 

689
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,720
nihilistic mindset. 
That is because they're living 

690
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:34,560
on a Fiat standard. 
So I don't know if I'm on the 

691
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,720
whole doom thing of the next 24 
months. 

692
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,400
That sounded a little crazy to 
me. 

693
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,600
But, you know, Max has had a 
tendency to, you know, predict 

694
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,520
things in the past very 
accurately. 

695
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,600
So, you know, it's probably a 
good idea to get some Bitcoin 

696
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,320
just in case it catches on. 
I mean, this guy has been 

697
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,800
telling everybody about Bitcoin 
since it was like a dollar. 

698
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,680
So maybe he sees something that 
we don't. 

699
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,920
One last bit before I pass it on
to Raj. 

700
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,520
What he said about El Salvador 
was so true because something 

701
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,840
that we've identified on simply,
which is this idea that it's not

702
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,680
a coincidence that the first 
country that made Bitcoin legal 

703
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,800
tender has the most popular 
present in the Americas. 

704
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,280
I don't think that's a 
coincidence. 

705
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,200
The reason I don't say that's a 
coincidence is because I know 

706
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,720
what Bitcoin has done to me 
since I've transitioned to a 

707
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,560
Bitcoin standard. 
It's my eighth year now. 

708
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,400
Holy shit, it's been a long time
and it's just like life just 

709
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,080
gets like it just compounds. 
It just gets better and cheaper 

710
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,600
and you're able to just live the
life that you want to live. 

711
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,520
If you don't spend your Bitcoin 
these days, what is it? 

712
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,320
What is the stay humble stack 
stats? 

713
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,240
Stay solvent and life gets 
progressively cheaper over time.

714
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:54,600
And I think Kaiser, what he did 
there, it wasn't as impactful as

715
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,600
Trump and Elon because they had 
a lot more reach. 

716
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,800
But think about the audience, 
them hearing that for the first 

717
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,440
time, right? 
Like the first reaction is this 

718
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,880
guy's batshit crazy or holy cow,
this guy's been telling the same

719
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,640
thing since Bitcoin was at a 
dollar. 

720
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,600
Like I bet you there was some 
bitcoiners minted watching that 

721
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,720
Alex, that Max Kaiser, Alex 
Jones special man, because just 

722
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,960
in those two minutes like Opti 
that made that gave me chills, 

723
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,760
bro. 
Like Max is operating in a 

724
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,000
different dimension, I think. 
Anyways, Raj, what's your 

725
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,960
perspective on all this? 
Yeah. 

726
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,600
So I think, OK, I'm I'm here. 
OK. 

727
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:43,640
So yeah, 24 months is pretty 
optimistic, but I if you 

728
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:52,040
remember the Vijay Boyapati's 
big blog post about the growth, 

729
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,360
like what will be the arc of 
growth for Bitcoin, right? 

730
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,160
We start with the store of 
value, then we go to medium of 

731
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,720
payments, then we go to unit of 
economics, right? 

732
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:06,440
So everything kind of priced in 
Bitcoin. 

733
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:11,480
So personally, I believe that, 
you know, we are, we have 

734
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,240
already proven that it's a great
store of value. 

735
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:18,840
I think we last cycle we had 
Tesla and micro strategies, you 

736
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,600
know using it as a treasury. 
Now we have the EDSI think 

737
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,560
hundreds. 
I think the Wall Street is in 

738
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,360
most of the funds have Bitcoin 
on their balance sheets now and 

739
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,440
there'll be a lot. 
There are like lot more 

740
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,040
corporations. 
I think just yesterday Marathon 

741
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,560
announced a $50 million of 
Bitcoin. 

742
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,440
So I think store of value is 
mostly proven at speed. 

743
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,400
We want to focus on the medium 
of payment. 

744
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,840
Like we want to solve for the 
medium of payment, get millions 

745
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:52,320
of users who are actually using 
Bitcoin directly or indirectly. 

746
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,760
And that's where we focus. 
And probably like once we have 

747
00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:01,480
medium of payment going, you 
know, obviously the next step 

748
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,360
would be people will start 
denominating everything into as 

749
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,120
in Bitcoin. 
Like, you know, people would 

750
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,400
start selling and their services
and products into Bitcoin and 

751
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,200
then probably will have the have
the contracts or energy 

752
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,600
contracts probably, you know, 
written in Bitcoin. 

753
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,200
I think that's how it should 
probably go. 

754
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,880
One more thing that I'd like to 
add is, you know what, after 

755
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,720
Bitcoin, So yeah, Bitcoin is 
low, but I think post Bitcoin 

756
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:34,160
will have stability and peace. 
Like, you know, the things will 

757
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,520
stabilize. 
We will have much better 

758
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,440
economic calculations of how the
future will be. 

759
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,080
I think as SEF said, you know, 
when once the economic 

760
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,680
calculations simplify, we will 
be able to undertake long term, 

761
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,800
you know, projects which are 
almost impossible to do as of 

762
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,720
today. 
You know, because the cost of 

763
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:57,320
money can go from zero to all 
the way like 6% and maybe down 

764
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,160
to 2% again within the span of 
five years. 

765
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,400
That's completely impossible for
any business to kind of plan 

766
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,160
around, especially small medium 
businesses. 

767
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:12,480
So, yeah, I mean, I think we 
will be out of this boom bust 

768
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,400
cycle. 
We have stability and that would

769
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,520
that would bring the air of 
peace and I think a growth or 

770
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:26,160
it'll be like a new renaissance.
Yeah, new Renaissance. 

771
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,160
I mean, who's coined that term? 
It's Renaissance 2.0. 

772
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,640
I I feel like if yeah, it's 
Renaissance two point. 

773
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,440
Oh yeah, Booth maybe. 
I don't know. 100% agree. 

774
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,240
I think the world is going to 
see freedom the likes of which 

775
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:40,720
it's never seen before. 
And I think a lot of the 

776
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,920
problems that people just cannot
see right now, like I think the 

777
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,520
Elon and Trump thing yesterday 
is an example of that. 

778
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Like, they're like, they're 
they're like 10 years back. 

779
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,200
Like, yeah, let's get government
spending under control. 

780
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,040
It's like, no, no, no, let's fix
that problem completely forever,

781
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,720
right? 
And of course, Bitcoiners have 

782
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,160
that solution anyways. 
Opti, what's your take before we

783
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,840
move on to the culture and talk 
about the speed wallet? 

784
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,040
Yeah. 
So first and foremost, guys, I 

785
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,080
highly recommend everyone go 
watch that whole clip because 

786
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,440
Kaiser just keeps dropping the 
bombs about where we are right 

787
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,800
now in the current financial 
landscape. 

788
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,560
And of course, how Bitcoin fixes
this. 

789
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,640
It, it was a great speech. 
And you know, Kaiser does have a

790
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,480
way of maybe for lack of better 
terms, getting a little 

791
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,960
hyperbolic. 
So maybe he did get a little 

792
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,720
cosmic and super bullish. 
But we all know that this is 

793
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:34,160
what's gonna happen eventually. 
What Kaiser said is going to 

794
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,520
happen. 
And what we've been seeing in 

795
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,200
the last couple of weeks is that
this global hash war is playing 

796
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,680
out in real time. 
As we played in the beginning 

797
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,520
with the David Bailey clip, 
everyone is seeing something 

798
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,280
very similar where now Bitcoin 
is becoming the defining 

799
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,800
conversation. 
And as we played with Elon Musk 

800
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,920
and Trump earlier, inflation is 
becoming pretty much most 

801
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,760
Americans concerned right now is
because it's getting extremely 

802
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,760
hard for everyone to just 
survive on a normal paycheck. 

803
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,960
And so we're seeing in real time
that Bitcoin, at least in a very

804
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,080
maybe lesser degree, it's 
becoming like everyone's savior 

805
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,880
right now. 
And like we say, you know, it's 

806
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,120
no coincidence that Buchele from
El Salvador literally 

807
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,440
translating to the savior is 
doing so well is because they 

808
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,000
obviously got on the Bitcoin 
standard and of course 

809
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,640
everything else that Buchele has
been doing. 

810
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,960
But I think it does go to show 
that people are waking up to 

811
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,120
Bitcoin as a solution. 
We're constantly saying, and we 

812
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,720
do get a lot of Flack for it 
because you know, we came out 

813
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:36,120
and say RFK Junior and Trump is 
who we are endorsing because 

814
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,720
they're being pro Bitcoin. 
But there is no political 

815
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:41,640
solution out of this. 
So as long as we get people 

816
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,400
talking about these 
conversations is how we spread 

817
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,120
this out to the mainstream 
audience and more people 

818
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,840
realizing that Bitcoin isn't 
just this, you know, Internet 

819
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,600
nerd money that you speculate on
and get rich on. 

820
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,040
But to one of the points that 
Kaiser said, and I've been 

821
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,480
saying this for a while as well,
and Kaiser's, I think his time 

822
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,600
frame was like 18 to 24 months, 
which I don't know if that's 

823
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,000
necessarily the time frame, but 
once everyone starts pricing 

824
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,560
energy in SAT or in Bitcoin, 
that's really when Bitcoin is 

825
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,600
going to take over the world 
because it's the the truest 

826
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,160
measurement of value that we 
have in the world without all 

827
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,960
the financial manipulation of 
the world. 

828
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,440
And we're seeing right now that 
most people that understand 

829
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,240
what's going on realize the 
fundamental problem that it's 

830
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:26,920
the financial manipulators that 
are wrecking the world. 

831
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,160
And the more games are able to 
get away with, the poorer we all

832
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,680
get. 
And that's the solution that 

833
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,280
we're solving here. 
Like, you know, Raj was saying 

834
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,480
like Bitcoin as a store of 
value. 

835
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:41,760
I, I think it's proven itself. 
And if we continue to allow the 

836
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,720
financial manipulators to 
manipulate the Fiat currency in 

837
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:48,680
the traditional financial world,
then there's literally no escape

838
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,560
from this unless you're opting 
into Bitcoin. 

839
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,600
And that's what we constantly 
harp on this show is you need to

840
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,200
save in Bitcoin, take it into 
self custody. 

841
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,760
That's the only way to get out 
of this and protect yourself. 

842
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,800
100 percent, 100%, yeah, man. 
And it's really, it falls down 

843
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,200
to us like to really get that 
message out there. 

844
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,280
Like it's not just about 
electing a certain person, it's 

845
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,520
literally about changing the 
system root and branch, like 

846
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,160
everything from the top to the 
bottom. 

847
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,440
And that's, you know, separation
of money and state individuals 

848
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,000
taking back their their 
financial sovereignty via self 

849
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,640
custodying their Bitcoin. 
Anyways, guys, we're going to 

850
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,800
talk about the speed wallet and 
what Raj is working on and 

851
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,760
Bitcoin entrepreneurs building 
on Bitcoin, building on those 

852
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,000
second and third layer 
solutions, helping it scale. 

853
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
So really excited, stay tuned. 
Let's get to the culture. 

854
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:46,720
The daily culture. 
Right everybody before we talk 

855
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:49,480
to Raj, I do want to give a 
shout out to our sponsor. 

856
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,640
Of course I'm talking about the 
orange pull up stack friends who

857
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,640
stack SAT's join the 11,822 
bitcoiners that are on the app 

858
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,720
download the Bitcoin social 
layer, the orange pill app. 

859
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,040
Guys, if you're traveling, you 
go to your new city, perhaps you

860
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:07,680
you've lived in your city for 
quite a while. 

861
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,760
You just don't know any 
bitcoiners around you. 

862
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,160
The orange pull app is a great 
resource. 

863
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,280
You pull it up and you will 
literally see the bitcoiners 

864
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,200
that are near you and you have 
the ability to send them a 

865
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,080
message. 
When you send them a message, 

866
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,600
you can connect with them. 
Also, it's the number one 

867
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,400
resource for Bitcoin only 
events.

conference for and there's days 

869
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,240
that there's nothing happening,

Scan the QR code or check the 
link in the video description. 

880
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,240
Well, I'm really excited about 
today's show before I pass it on

881
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:03,480
to Opti Raj, you are with speed 
wallet. 

882
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,160
So for anyone in the audience 
that doesn't know what speed 

883
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,120
wallet is, could you give a 
quick one to two-minute elevator

884
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,320
pitch on what speed wallet is? 
Yeah, I don't think I'll need 

885
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,920
more than a minute. 
So speed wallet is easiest to 

886
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,720
use a Lightning wallet. 
It's not self custodial. 

887
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:31,480
It's we, we custody the Bitcoin,
but it's we it's it's our our 

888
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,160
goal at speed wallet is to just 
make it super easy. 

889
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,320
You just register it with your 
e-mail and go from there. 

890
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:41,720
We want to make this into a 
spending wallet. 

891
00:48:41,720 --> 00:48:45,600
This is not your saving wallet. 
You should not save your 

892
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,160
bitcoins on this. 
If you're going to spend the 

893
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:53,760
Bitcoin, maybe let's say 100 
dollars, $500 worth of Bitcoin, 

894
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,520
you bring that over. 
And we just wanted to make it 

895
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:01,840
super, super easy for anybody to
quickly register load the 

896
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,960
bitcoins. 
You, you stand on chain Bitcoin,

897
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,040
you, you have immediately 
immediate availability of those 

898
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:11,720
bitcoins on the Lightning 
network. 

899
00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:14,000
You can just, you don't really 
have to do anything. 

900
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,400
You can just start, start 
spending on Lightning. 

901
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:22,280
So and let's say you have a 
Lightning bitcoins, you can just

902
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:27,440
take them out on chain or on the
Lightning wallet, super easy. 

903
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,240
You don't have to do anything. 
So a complete seamless 

904
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,720
transition between on chain and 
Lightning from lightning to on 

905
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:41,800
chain and like the most easy to 
use UI. 

906
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,040
And that's what the speed wallet
is. 

907
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,600
We just wanted to make it super 
easy. 

908
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:48,840
Yeah, I mean, that's what the 
speed wallet is. 

909
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,600
It's very simple, 
straightforward implementation. 

910
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,680
What's the difference between 
for example like wallet of 

911
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,240
satoshi was very popular so like
what would be the difference 

912
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:01,000
between speed wallet and like 
wallet of satoshi? 

913
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,560
Yeah. 
So wallet of Satoshi, I would 

914
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,000
say the biggest difference would
be the seamless transaction 

915
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200
transition between the on chain 
and lightning. 

916
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:16,520
With wallet of Satoshi you will 
have to bring the light. 

917
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,600
I mean, either you buy the 
Bitcoin and load it up in their 

918
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,800
Lightning channel or you bring 
the Lightning BTC and use them 

919
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,920
with the wallet of Satoshi. 
So you have to be on the 

920
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,040
Lightning to kind of directly 
start using it with the speed 

921
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,520
app. 
You know you have a Bitcoin on 

922
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,880
chain and you want to quickly 
like transition to the 

923
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,120
Lightning. 
You know you use your wallet, 

924
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,960
just put your light, put your 
own chain bitcoins on the in the

925
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,120
speed wallet, scan it 
immediately. 

926
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,640
They are available for you to 
spend on Lightning. 

927
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,800
Gotcha. 
And questions from the audience 

928
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:57,760
like what would be like, for 
example, you guys decided to add

929
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,320
USDT by the way, for anyone in 
the audience, if you live in the

930
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,760
developing world, Bitcoiners 
like it's like we want Bitcoin 

931
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,240
to be this like, you know, used 
in everyday transactions, but 

932
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,200
that's not what the market is 
saying it is. 

933
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,440
Bitcoiners, we should be free 
market Maxis. 

934
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,360
What the market is saying 
specifically in developing 

935
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,440
countries is that stablecoins 
seem to be very, very popular 

936
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,520
and that's something that can be
potentially life saving for 

937
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:33,200
someone who lives in Venezuela 
or Argentina, right? 

938
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,480
So I, you know, and there's 
other wallets that have 

939
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,840
integrated, you know, 
specifically Tether and other 

940
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,120
stablecoins as well. 
So could you talk a little bit 

941
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,920
about that? 
I just want to preface that 

942
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,640
because I know we. 
Have some more core I, I, it 

943
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,200
took me long time to kind of get
over this I, I really didn't 

944
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:57,040
want to touch any shit coins 
neither the stable coin. 

945
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,160
But then you know, I come from 
the product management 

946
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:06,040
background where we are told to 
listen to the users and like 

947
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,640
everyone that I spoke to who 
were non bitcoiners, right? 

948
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:15,280
They were like, OK, I mean, I 
will love Bitcoin, but it's too 

949
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,320
volatile. 
We want if you, if you have a 

950
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,480
significant amount, it will be 
great to have that in USVD. 

951
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,680
It'll be awesome if we can have 
bitcoins immediately converted 

952
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:35,440
into the USVD and then be able 
to spend that USVD into on on 

953
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,360
like any of the crypto networks 
or any of the crip sites which 

954
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,560
offer like, you know, for 
example, bit refill will will 

955
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,760
allow them to buy the gift 
cards, right, be able to stand 

956
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,800
over there. 
So I mean spoke with more than 

957
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,440
about more than I would say 500 
users and probably like 12 

958
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:59,440
months back and like 99% of them
were like, OK, you know, we, we 

959
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:05,240
would if if given option for the
USBD, we would like to saving 

960
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:09,760
USDT. 
I mean, I think about other than

961
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,600
like non like Bitcoiners, you 
know, there, there is this huge 

962
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:19,760
section of users who still do 
not appreciate like the 

963
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:25,480
Bitcoiners. 
I mean as as a money as I would 

964
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,200
say, I think most people do 
appreciate it as a store of 

965
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,000
value. 
But when we want them to spend 

966
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,360
and kind of retain they, they 
are like, OK, you know, it'd be 

967
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,560
great if we could convert it 
into the USVD and just, you 

968
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,440
know, may be able to spend and 
with the Taproot assets, right, 

969
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:47,280
that just becomes very easy 
viable native to the Lightning 

970
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,160
Network. 
So with the Taproot assets, it's

971
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:56,600
it's by Lightning Labs, we can 
we can actually, you know, just 

972
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,440
use a regular lightning 
invoices. 

973
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,760
They can be paid with a taproot 
asset like a stable coin or with

974
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:10,400
the Bitcoin and the receiver can
decide whether they want to get 

975
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,960
that in sets or they want to get
that as a taproot assets, right.

976
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,080
So it gives a complete inter 
operate operatability like, you 

977
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,680
know, you can pick and choose 
how you want to retain the 

978
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,000
value. 
And we for last year, you know, 

979
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,800
we were we were kind of focused 
on that. 

980
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,320
We were working with Lightning 
Labs and trying to see if we can

981
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,600
if we can just have that 
available in our wallet. 

982
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,720
So yeah, I mean, I think they 
just launched like a month back.

983
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:44,560
They launched, they completed 
the implementation. 

984
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:49,560
It's like, it's still like the 
first cut And we decided to 

985
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,200
launch USDT on Lightning 
Network. 

986
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,320
It's available both in speed 
wallet as well as speed merchant

987
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,560
platform for businesses. 
So yeah, just give it a try. 

988
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,960
It's pretty straightforward. 
You are actually inherently 

989
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,640
still using Bitcoin. 
So the rails are still Bitcoin. 

990
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:14,560
If USDT on Lightning Network 
becomes popular, the Lightning 

991
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,360
Network capacity for BTC like 
BTC Lightning Network capacity 

992
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,040
will just skyrocket. 
So it is kind of complementary. 

993
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,840
I mean it will help adoption of 
Lightning Network. 

994
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:32,680
It will then after you know be 
like a entry like drug to 

995
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,360
getting into the Bitcoin, we'll 
be able to get millions of users

996
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,680
onto the Lightning Network. 
And I think that'll open for 

997
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,280
like create, it's kind of a gate
to creating more Bitcoiners 

998
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,840
eventually and also it will 
increase the network capacity in

999
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,440
terms of Bitcoin. 
Absolutely Opti. 

1000
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:56,840
Yeah. 
I was just to say, Raj, again, 

1001
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,720
knowing who our audience is, I'd
like to kind of elaborate. 

1002
00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:04,280
We did kind of compare wallet or
Satoshi to speed wallet. 

1003
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,920
But I'd like for you to talk 
about the the design choice in 

1004
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,080
the UX experience of going 
custodial and needing an e-mail.

1005
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,320
Like why? 
Why did you choose that route 

1006
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,880
versus what your competitors are
doing? 

1007
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,560
So can can you please repeat 
that once more? 

1008
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,440
Sorry, yeah. 
So for for I know you want to 

1009
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,720
make the easiest wallet possible
and, and knowing our audience, 

1010
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:33,880
which is, you know, hardcore Max
is out here. 

1011
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,320
What's the design choice of 
going fully custodial? 

1012
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,040
Yeah. 
So we had, so we were initially 

1013
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:47,200
trying to make a self custody 
wallet and there are two big 

1014
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,000
challenges with the self custody
on the lighting network. 

1015
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,640
I mean it's pretty well known. 
Number one is channel 

1016
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:58,680
management, liquidity management
and #2 is offline receive. 

1017
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:03,680
So with the channel management, 
any self custody wallet would 

1018
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:09,560
have to have a have user kind of
become sophisticated enough to 

1019
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,560
do the channel liquidity 
management, which I don't think 

1020
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,360
you know, will allow us to bring
millions of user onto the 

1021
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,240
Lightning Network and offline 
receive to. 

1022
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,280
I mean, those were the those are
the two challenges. 

1023
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,120
We really do not have a good 
solution as of today. 

1024
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,880
I'm very optimistic. 
I think, you know, we will very,

1025
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:35,960
very soon be able to solve it. 
And maybe at that time we could 

1026
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,720
kind of, you know, have another 
wallet within the speed itself 

1027
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,440
where, you know, you could 
immediately take the self 

1028
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,760
custody your hand and have your 
own mobile lightning node 

1029
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:50,640
working. 
But with those issues unsolved, 

1030
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:56,480
you know, the experience of self
cost free wallet is not a well 

1031
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,160
and not good for like 
unsophisticated users. 

1032
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,920
We just wanted to, our goal is 
to bring like millions of people

1033
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:10,320
on to the lighting network and 
so decided to take the list path

1034
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,680
of resistance, which is just, 
you know, have a custodial node.

1035
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,080
We do the complete channel 
management, liquidity 

1036
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,200
management, make sure that we 
have healthy channels available 

1037
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:25,160
across the Lightning network. 
100% transaction success rate 

1038
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,120
was our goal. 
So we achieved that at speed. 

1039
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:34,160
Like we have like 99.999% 
transaction success rate. 

1040
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,600
So the experience is super 
smooth. 

1041
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,560
Like, you know, any transaction 
you make will just go through. 

1042
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,240
So that was the goal, you know, 
just make it make make a wallet 

1043
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,960
available for non surface. 
I think we have a lot of self 

1044
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,920
custodial wallets. 
We had a lot of them available. 

1045
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,560
I think new TV just pulled out. 
But I think back in 2022 when we

1046
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,720
were evaluating there were about
5 to 6 pretty good like self 

1047
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,320
custodial like wallets in the 
market. 

1048
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:07,040
And I think a wallet of Satoshi 
was, and I think strike we're 

1049
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:12,120
the only ones kind of catered 
into the to the unsophisticated 

1050
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,360
users. 
And one of the challenges that 

1051
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,160
we found was, you know, this 
transition between the on chain 

1052
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,360
to lightning, lightning to on 
chain, which was, which was also

1053
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,480
an issue we wanted to solve that
we solved for that and we put 

1054
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,560
the wallet out. 
I mean, honestly, like we did 

1055
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,600
not really expect so much 
adoption to be. 

1056
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,360
I mean, we, we were like, OK, 
you know, we'll just put it out,

1057
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,600
see and you know, anyone wants 
to use it, just one more option 

1058
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,680
available. 
Right now we're getting about 

1059
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:50,040
like 100,000 to 1500 downloads 
every day and we crossed like 

1060
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,920
100,000 wallet users in like 
last 4-5 months since it's 

1061
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,240
available on the app stores. 
Congratulations. 

1062
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,000
It's huge. 
And and I, I look like 

1063
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,040
personally, I'm and again, I 
know this is unpopular with some

1064
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,240
part of our crowd. 
I, I was a huge fan of all of 

1065
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,200
Satoshi just because if I, if I 
ever wanted to introduce someone

1066
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:16,920
to Bitcoin and the more amount 
of steps that they take and the 

1067
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,760
less interested they are. 
Like if it's just as simple as 

1068
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,920
you literally download an 
application and you're basically

1069
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,200
extremely, in a very short 
amount of time, you're ready to 

1070
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,680
receive Bitcoin. 
It's a very, very powerful tool.

1071
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,680
And then you just send someone, 
you know, like $1.10 dollars or 

1072
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,080
$100 worth of lightning and they
just receive it instantaneously 

1073
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,960
And they just say that's it. 
And you're like, that's it. 

1074
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,480
That's, you know, like that is a
good thing. 

1075
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,920
Ideally, of course, like you 
don't want to leave, you know, a

1076
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:50,000
considerable amount of money in 
a lightning wallet. 

1077
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,080
It's, it's for the coffee, it's 
for the day-to-day spend. 

1078
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,840
So I personally am a convenience
maxi. 

1079
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:01,120
I, I, I have the capability to, 
to set up a lightning whatever, 

1080
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,160
but I just haven't done it 
because it's just like, that's 

1081
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,040
not where I'm, I'm, you know, a 
couple $100 in the lightning 

1082
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:12,240
wallet, like, you know, it's not
going to like, OK, it's like 

1083
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,800
losing a wallet with $100 in it,
like, OK. 

1084
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,960
And if they rug pulled and they 
ruin the reputation that they 

1085
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,920
can only do that one time, 
right? 

1086
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:24,000
So, yeah, I personally, I'm a 
big fan of convenience for the 

1087
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,960
smaller payments and it just 
helps on board a lot of people. 

1088
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:32,840
Now my question to you, Raj, is,
are you concerned at all about 

1089
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:36,240
the regulatory environment in 
the US because some of the 

1090
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,600
reasons that Phoenix and Wallet 
of Satoshi pulled out was 

1091
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,840
because of the regular 
regulatory uncertainty. 

1092
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:45,840
How are you guys approaching 
that? 

1093
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:52,680
Yes. 
So right now the direction from,

1094
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:57,000
I mean, we, when the Samurai 
wallet, you know, issue kind of 

1095
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,840
came up, it's kind of, it kind 
of started all the, you know, 

1096
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,360
regulatory interference with the
Lightning network Earlier. 

1097
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:08,160
We were probably all flying 
under the, you know, nobody 

1098
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,240
really bothered about what's 
going on the what was going on 

1099
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,200
the Lightning network. 
But with the, with the Bitcoin 

1100
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:20,360
wallets kind of, you know, 
coming under the, the view and I

1101
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,080
think with that investigation, 
some of the language that came 

1102
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,960
out was very obscure. 
I mean, it's very difficult to 

1103
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,800
really ascertain if you need the
money transmission license or 

1104
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,040
not. 
And usually like, you know, if 

1105
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,080
some, if it's not clear, you'll 
need the money transmission 

1106
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,320
license. 
So we are, we are actually 

1107
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:47,960
working on that. 
And for now, you know, we had to

1108
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,240
put the know your customer 
requirements for North American.

1109
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,000
Otherwise we would probably have
to make the wallet unavailable 

1110
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:02,320
for North America. 
And we it is it's a trade off. 

1111
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,920
I mean, you either make the 
services available and comply 

1112
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,560
or, you know, just stop doing it
and not comply. 

1113
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:17,000
So, I mean, we choose that, you 
know, we'll, it's a spending 

1114
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,760
wallet. 
You know, it's not we, we don't 

1115
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:23,120
want like people to save 
millions of dollar on that. 

1116
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,640
I mean, and honestly, like 
internally, we are actually 

1117
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,120
considering very, very soon 
you're going to put like the 

1118
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,680
hard limit on how much you can 
custody on our wallet. 

1119
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,840
Like maybe you will not be able 
to have more than $1000 worth of

1120
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,560
Bitcoin. 
We are, we are actually 

1121
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,000
considering that. 
We'll definitely put the hard 

1122
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:46,960
limit on it. 
And we, we, I mean, we chose the

1123
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,520
KYC route and maybe just, you 
know, do the compliance make, 

1124
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,400
but have the service available, 
make the Lightning available, 

1125
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,560
keep it available within, have 
the option available to the 

1126
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,840
users. 
But for the rest of the world, 

1127
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,640
you know, it's just available 
without any kind of KYC 

1128
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:06,600
requirements and anybody 
anywhere in the world can just 

1129
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,680
download the wallet, start using
it. 

1130
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,000
We also have the web version 
available. 

1131
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,720
We have the Chrome plug in 
available. 

1132
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,560
We have lot of different 
versions available and we'll 

1133
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,800
make it available in all 
possible languages. 

1134
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:24,080
So, you know, like we'll not 
just remain limited to that 

1135
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,200
stores. 
We'll try to go as like, you 

1136
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:30,040
know, horizontal as possible and
make this available in as many, 

1137
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,640
on as many platforms and as many
different languages as possible.

1138
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,040
But yeah, on North America, you 
know, I think the things are 

1139
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,200
very hazy. 
It's not very clear. 

1140
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:47,040
So yeah, to keep the lights on 
Will will have to comply. 

1141
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,360
Yeah, yeah. 
Oh, wait, wait, hold on. 

1142
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,320
Sorry. 
I was just going to add, you 

1143
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,080
know, very quickly. 
I know there, there's still 

1144
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,400
might be some people in the chat
that are going to flood 

1145
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,560
lightning. 
So rapid fire response will 

1146
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:07,440
lightning scale Bitcoin? 
Yeah, yeah, 100%, yeah. 

1147
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:08,920
I mean it. 
It works. 

1148
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,480
It just works and it works 
really, really well. 

1149
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,400
We have small problems with self
custody. 

1150
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,200
I think we should be able to 
solve it. 

1151
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:22,920
It's the engineering problem. 
But yeah, it like with this self

1152
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:27,120
custody, it just works. 
You have used Lightning on the 

1153
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,680
cash app. 
It works really, really well. 

1154
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,360
Stripe what's really, really 
well wallet of shuttle See, I 

1155
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:38,080
mean and there are I mean, I 
look at the transaction volume 

1156
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:42,000
right now, it's just estimation 
like it's just mind blowing like

1157
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,840
you know, every day we are like 
processing about 40-50 BTC worth

1158
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,960
of payments right now, even 
though we are so new and so 

1159
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,960
small. 
I mean should be like 

1160
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,360
significant number for wallet of
Satoshi and strike. 

1161
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,120
I mean, those guys must be 
there's there is a lot of 

1162
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,160
velocity and lightning network 
incredible and lot of like 

1163
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,080
literally hundreds and thousands
of users are actually 

1164
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,680
downloading the wallet everyday 
and joining this network. 

1165
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,480
This is just going to get bigger
and snowball into like much, 

1166
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,960
much bigger, like, you know, 
payment network. 

1167
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,160
So I'm extremely optimistic. 
You know, this is we can 

1168
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,920
definitely, I mean there will be
challenges, there will be 

1169
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,960
engineering, you know, 
challenges, there might be 

1170
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:33,440
regulatory challenges, but once 
we kind of acquire a certain 

1171
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:37,840
level of, you know, size, it 
will become unstoppable. 

1172
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:43,480
Yeah, I agree. 
It's it's like you have to make 

1173
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,320
Bitcoin human friendly. 
Like that's the reality that 

1174
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,880
Bitcoiners don't understand. 
But it's something that like the

1175
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,600
reason that the iPhone took off,
right? 

1176
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,040
Like the whole general consensus
was there's going to be a 

1177
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,440
computing revolution. 
That was right. 

1178
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,040
But what wasn't right was the 
whole keyboard and screen and 

1179
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,760
whatever the computer was human 
friendly. 

1180
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:12,000
And now everyone has a computer 
which is their smartphone, 

1181
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,080
right? 
So you just apply that same 

1182
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,160
logic to Bitcoin. 
How do you make Bitcoin human 

1183
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:22,160
friendly? 
The reality is that self custody

1184
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:27,000
is not a human friendly exercise
for the vast majority of people.

1185
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,120
That's not to say that people 
shouldn't take self custody and 

1186
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,240
they should definitely learn and
you should keep pushing that 

1187
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:36,560
message forward. 
But like you guys know the deal.

1188
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,840
Like at least in my family, I'm 
the uncle Jim bro. 

1189
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,320
You know, I'm the tech support 
guy, right? 

1190
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,880
Any when it comes to Bitcoin 
stuff. 

1191
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,400
And I'm sure you guys have had 
very similar experiences, right?

1192
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:52,600
When you have like convenience, 
like these types of convenience 

1193
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:57,280
onboarding apps into lightning, 
it creates a really pleasant 

1194
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:01,240
kind of user experience. 
And then of course, you know, 

1195
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,960
like it's like having, you know,
if you have more than 600 or 

1196
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,960
$700 in your wallet, you know, 
you're going to look at that 

1197
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:10,800
wallet a little bit differently,
right? 

1198
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,320
If you have $10,000 in your 
wallet, like you're going to 

1199
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,560
feel uncomfortable and be like, 
I don't need this much money in 

1200
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,160
my wallet. 
I'm going to leave some of this 

1201
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,840
whatever at home or something. 
So the point is, is that someone

1202
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,520
said to come Nico, will the vast
majority of people still win if 

1203
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,760
they don't take self gussy 
nihilistic field. 

1204
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:34,720
So I would say that I think that
most people are just not, it's 

1205
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,840
going to be a very unpopular 
comment, but I'm going to say it

1206
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,960
anyways. 
Most people are just not going 

1207
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,279
to transact on chain. 
I think on chain is going to 

1208
01:08:41,279 --> 01:08:46,359
become prohibitively expensive 
in the next 10 years or so. 

1209
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:50,040
And most people are going to be 
interacting with Bitcoin on 

1210
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,720
second and third layer 
solutions. 

1211
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,800
And I think it's going to be a 
certain group of people that are

1212
01:08:55,800 --> 01:09:00,960
going to have the means and the 
technical know how in order to 

1213
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,399
operate Bitcoin on chain. 
Yeah, that's what I think is 

1214
01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:05,840
going to happen. 
And it's just a matter of the 

1215
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,560
fees. 
Like the fees are just going to 

1216
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,279
look, Bitcoins going to go to a 
million. 

1217
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:11,600
Like the fees are going to go 
up, right. 

1218
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,720
If Bitcoin becomes a world 
reserve currency, that block 

1219
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:20,160
space is going to become very, 
very sought after, right? 

1220
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,720
To say the least. 
So, yeah, I, I, I don't think 

1221
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,760
scaling on the main chain is 
that was not a serious question.

1222
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,359
Well, I answered it anyways, 
bro, I don't think scaling on on

1223
01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:34,399
chain is the way. 
I think, you know, second layer 

1224
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:36,920
solutions and third layer 
solutions are the way forward. 

1225
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,760
And we haven't quite cracked the
code because it there has to be 

1226
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,960
a balance, right? 
There has to be a balance. 

1227
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,479
Unfortunately, we still have 
the, the Fiat, the party of Fiat

1228
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,399
on our side and they have all 
the whole KYC in compliance and 

1229
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:53,359
they have the men's with they 
have the men with guns, right? 

1230
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:55,560
That's just the reality of the 
situation. 

1231
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,800
It's sucked to me. 
It blows my mind that North 

1232
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:04,120
Korea, China and USA are all on 
the same list as it regards to 

1233
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,160
certain Lightning wallets. 
Like that is not a good 

1234
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,520
situation for the United States.
That's an embarrassment in my 

1235
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,400
opinion. 
And that is a complete drop ball

1236
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,600
because all you're doing is 
you're forcing these companies 

1237
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,280
to go overseas and innovate over
there. 

1238
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:19,480
That's all you're doing. 
You're not shutting it down. 

1239
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:25,120
So, yeah, I mean, it's, it's not
so much, you know, like when I, 

1240
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,960
when I see a lot of these 
exchanges and, you know, these 

1241
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:34,680
applications, you know, 
implement KYC and then users get

1242
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,840
upset. 
It's a you're getting upset at 

1243
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,800
the wrong people, bro. 
You should be getting upset at 

1244
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:43,720
the government officials and the
regulators because they're the 

1245
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,000
ones that are forcing these 
companies and exchanges and 

1246
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,280
brokers to implement these 
things in their products. 

1247
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,280
Because if they don't implement 
it, they will literally be 

1248
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,760
locked in a box or they would be
ran out of business. 

1249
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,320
So that's something to keep in 
mind with everybody. 

1250
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,920
It's just kind of like the 
reality of the regulatory 

1251
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:06,960
situation, which is why on our 
show we talk a lot about the 

1252
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,160
political environment here in 
the US. 

1253
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:15,000
You have the current 
administration that has been 

1254
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:19,520
pretty hostile towards the 
industry as a whole, the 

1255
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,160
Operation Choke .2 Point O 
denying Caitlin Long's federal 

1256
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:28,480
banking charter, the proposed 
30% tax on Bitcoin miners. 

1257
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,880
And then you have two opposing 
candidates, RFK Junior and 

1258
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:39,080
Donald Trump, that have promised
that they'll be pro industry if 

1259
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,840
they get into office. 
Like these are the types of 

1260
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:45,840
things where you don't like KYC,
you don't like AML and you don't

1261
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,320
like this, the regulatory 
environment in the United 

1262
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,880
States. 
Then elections matter to you. 

1263
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:52,960
Like they really do. 
Like there's, there's a 

1264
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,520
consequence to it. 
And that's something that I've 

1265
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:01,280
seen Bitcoiners clash with. 
Like they don't fully comprehend

1266
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:06,000
that because we've been used to 
operating in the shadows since 

1267
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,200
really the beginning of 
Bitcoin's history. 

1268
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:10,520
They, they haven't really paid 
attention to us. 

1269
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,440
Now it's that we've grown in 
popularity and there's more 

1270
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:18,360
adoption, you start to get into 
the limelight and that's where 

1271
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:21,520
these types of things happen. 
So anyways, I'm a huge fan of 

1272
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,880
the Speed Wallet. 
I definitely think it's gonna do

1273
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:28,200
great for Lightning adoption and
just more the onboarding of 

1274
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,960
Bitcoin. 
And I do want to give a shout 

1275
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,760
out to Raj for joining us on the
show today. 

1276
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:38,000
To check out the app, you go to 
Speed dot app and you can 

1277
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,120
download it. 
It's available in the App Store 

1278
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,800
on the Google Store and, you 
know, the smartphone of your 

1279
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,360
choice. 
And Raj, if you have any final 

1280
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,080
parting thoughts for our 
audience, what would it be? 

1281
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:56,600
Yeah, I will say that Bitcoin 
layer one take the self custody,

1282
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,640
not your Bitcoin like not your 
keys, not your Bitcoin. 

1283
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,840
We have lots of good options 
available in terms of hardware 

1284
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,640
wallets. 
We have multi sig wallets now 

1285
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,880
you know I think self custody of
layer one is super easy and it 

1286
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:16,440
is completely possible to do 
that even for unsophisticated 

1287
01:13:16,440 --> 01:13:18,880
users. 
I think BT Sessions has done 

1288
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,600
like really great job making the
tutorials for all the different 

1289
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,360
hardware wallets and different 
kind of the wallets available. 

1290
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:31,600
I think you know, we are at a 
point where the hardware wallets

1291
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,320
are super easy to use, multi sig
wallets are easy to use. 

1292
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:39,920
Self custody of the bitcoins for
saving should be the norm. 

1293
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,560
And whether you are 
sophisticated or not, not so 

1294
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:48,040
sophisticated users don't leave 
bitcoins on the exchange, just 

1295
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:49,520
take it on your hardware 
wallets. 

1296
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:54,120
And so there will not be, you 
know, lending of your Bitcoin to

1297
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:58,600
the and I think that does affect
the price of the Bitcoin. 

1298
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,400
Like when they land out, they 
keep circulating the same 

1299
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,720
Bitcoin to several different 
buyers between several different

1300
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,960
buyers and traders. 
It doesn't help. 

1301
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,280
So take the self custody when it
comes to the Lightning. 

1302
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,040
You know, it is for spending. 
It's a medium of payment. 

1303
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:18,000
Don't bring in big amount, don't
save it on the lightning metal 

1304
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,560
wallets. 
You know, it's for spending and 

1305
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,560
we'll we'll be kind of focused 
on that just making it super 

1306
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,800
easy to spend or use Bitcoin if 
you don't want. 

1307
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:31,240
I mean, I would still say that 
do not like spend your Bitcoin 

1308
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:35,200
in which case we have like a 
stable coin available which 

1309
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,160
which is what users want and you
know, you can use that for the 

1310
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:42,320
spending. 
There are a lot of, I mean, we 

1311
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,320
grow the medium of payment 
network that's going to 

1312
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:49,280
complement the Bitcoin price and
Bitcoin overall. 

1313
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,720
Once it becomes a norm to kind 
of, you know, use the Lightning 

1314
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,920
network, the next step would be 
unit of economics. 

1315
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,280
People will start denominating 
their products and services into

1316
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,080
Bitcoin and then we'll have a 
proper Bitcoin bitcoinization. 

1317
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,560
Like, you know, we will have 
like hundreds and thousands of 

1318
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,800
business just selling the things
for Bitcoin. 

1319
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:13,040
I think we really need that 
mindset where everything is 

1320
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:18,000
priced in Bitcoin and doesn't 
matter whatever the bit, you 

1321
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,080
know, U.S. dollar in it or any 
other shit coin prices against 

1322
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,600
like Fiat token price against it
is people just like care only 

1323
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,720
about Bitcoin price of it. 
And at that point of time, 

1324
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,640
probably we will not even need 
the stable coin and we'll be the

1325
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,480
first one to drop it off A. 100%
Well, dude, thank you so much
