1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,280
It's all going to zero against 
Bitcoin. 

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:16,800
It's going up forever. 
You're against Bitcoin. 

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:25,040
You're against freedom. 
Good morning everybody. 

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,120
Welcome to Simply Bitcoin, the 
number one daily live Bitcoin 

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,720
show on YouTube, Twitter and 
Rumble. 

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,680
We cover breaking news, culture 
and mimetic warfare. 

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,240
And usually we bring on bit 
corners from all around the 

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,560
world, from the biggest names to
the everyday bit corner. 

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,680
But today it's just me and my Co
host Sophie. 

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,880
But anyways, we will be your 
guide through the separation of 

11
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,200
money and state. 
And as you can tell from the 

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,160
title, guys, we are about to 
wrap up the third epoch. 

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,760
It is almost officially over. 
We are little less than 200 

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,440
blocks. 
We'll go over exactly how many 

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720
blocks until the halving in the 
numbers. 

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,720
And I've seen a lot of people 
confused literally about what 

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,519
the halving is, what it's going 
to do to price and rather more 

18
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,840
on the idea. 
Like, is this time different? 

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,320
So we'll go into that. 
I got a video here of the 

20
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,400
grayscale CEO. 
Say what you want about him, but

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,680
making the rounds on the 
corporate press talking about 

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,080
the halving. 
And then, you know, I, I know 

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,880
we're getting trolled in the 
chat already about, oh, price 

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,320
predictions, but hey, I'll tell 
you right now we are not giving 

25
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,440
you numbers. 
All we're telling you is number 

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920
will go up. 
I will bring the historical 

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,480
price of Bitcoin around the 
halving. 

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,480
I do have a bit wise, I wouldn't
say a thread but a bit wise 

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,360
tweet kind of explaining what's 
going on. 

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,560
All we know guys, is Bitcoin is 
becoming more scarce. 

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,200
It's going to officially, 
undeniably be the hardest money 

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720
in the world right now. 
It already can technically be 

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,680
said it is the hardest money in 
the world with the lowest 

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,640
inflation rate, but it will be 
undeniable in about 200 blocks 

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,720
or so. 
And then in the news, we got a 

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,720
very interesting development 
happening in El Salvador. 

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,320
Google has officially 
incorporated in El Salvador, 

38
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,400
making it the first technology 
hub in Central America, really 

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,360
leaning into the sovereign 
individual thesis of if you set 

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,200
good incentives in your country,
you will attract entrepreneurs. 

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,760
And this is what we say about 
Bitcoin. 

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,800
Is it a coincidence that, you 
know, ever since Bitcoin or El 

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Salvador got on the Bitcoin 
standard that now they are 

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120
incentivizing people to come to 
their country, they are 

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,600
developing their country. 
It's the safest country in the 

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,920
world? 
Hey, you can make your own 

47
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,280
assumptions on that. 
But I think it's very 

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,040
interesting considering Google's
moving down to El Salvador. 

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Are they starting to see what we
see all the time that they are 

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,120
holding melting ice cubes with 
so much cash on their balance 

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,640
sheet? 
We're not there yet. 

52
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:54,600
Only time will tell but it is a 
good signal that they are 

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,520
finally giving El Salvador some 
acknowledgement. 

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,360
So you just love to see it. 
I I just can't wait till this 

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480
happens in more and more 
countries and more and more 

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,200
countries around the world start
to embrace Bitcoin and start to 

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,560
innovate and of course get 
richer along the way. 

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560
This is this is a feature not a 
bug guys. 

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200
And then of course in the number
in the culture. 

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,280
Sorry, we did get a good comment
on YouTube and so I am once 

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,320
again back again to talk about 
self custody and my framework, 

62
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,240
the best practices when it comes
to self custom, your Bitcoin. 

63
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,960
He kind of mentioned that he's 
still a little intimidated when 

64
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,800
it comes to self custody. 
I know, I still remember the 

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,120
first time I took Bitcoin into 
self custody and it absolutely 

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040
terrified me. 
But after you get over the 

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,520
initial hump, it's super simple.
Guys like do not complicate 

68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,920
this. 
It's not as hard as you may make

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,640
it out to believe, but hey, 
there is no rewind button, so 

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,200
you will have to take it slow. 
There are some best practices, 

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,160
So I'm going to go over again 
for the new people in the back, 

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,520
for everyone to get up to date 
so that we can all take our 

73
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Bitcoin into custody. 
Because as we say all the time, 

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,440
self custody is the revolution. 
And as you can tell, I'm the one

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,760
hosting the show. 
It's your boy Opty. 

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,400
But I'm not alone. 
We got Sophie back as maternity 

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,519
leaves, at least for today. 
Nico's headed to Nashville right

78
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:18,600
now. 
He's going to be a part of the 

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,279
Bitcoin Magazine, a live having 
stream. 

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,760
But anyways, so how you doing? 
We are doing super well. 

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Thank you guys for having me. 
Well, of course, of course we 

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680
need a little feminine energy on
simply Bitcoin sometimes. 

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,160
Need a little feminine energy? 
Just a. 

84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,440
Little bit. 
Especially during the halving, 

85
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080
like now that all of you guys 
are going to get girlfriends, 

86
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,200
you know, we. 
Should debatable. 

87
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Debatable. 
I don't think so. 

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,520
I mean, girls. 
Girls be gold digging or I guess

89
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,720
what do you call that now? 
Digging. 

90
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,760
SAT Digging SAT. 
Digging. 

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,160
Yes. 
So there's help for you guys 

92
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,000
yet? 
All right. 

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,600
Anyways, uh, so super happy to 
have you here. 

94
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,640
Always. 
Great. 

95
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Take some selfies. 
I think she can speak better 

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,840
than Nico and Opti. 
So we finally got a professional

97
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,320
on the stream. 
This is going to be great. 

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
All right, guys, let's get. 
Regarded, highly regarded. 

99
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,840
Highly regarded TM. 
Highly regarded TM. 

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
Anyways, guys, we've got a good 
show for you guys. 

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,280
So sit back, relax. 
We're going to bring provide the

102
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,600
signal for you. 
Let's go. 

103
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,960
The Bitcoin numbers. 
Is your Bitcoin and cold storage

104
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
really secure? 
Is your seed phrase really 

105
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,520
secure? 
Stamp seeds? 

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Do it yourself. 
Kit has everything you need to 

107
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,600
hammer your seed words into 
commercial grade titanium plates

108
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800
instead of just writing them on 
paper. 

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,280
Don't store your generational 
wealth on paper. 

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Papers prone to water damage, 
fire damage. 

111
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,640
You want to put your 
generational wealth on one of 

112
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,760
the strongest metals on planet 
earth, Titanium. 

113
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Your words are actually stamped 
into this metal plate with this 

114
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,360
hammer and these letter stamps. 
And once your words are in, they

115
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320
aren't going anywhere. 
No risk of the plate breaking 

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,680
apart and pieces falling 
everywhere. 

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Titanium stamp seeds will 
survive nearly triple the heat 

118
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,600
produced by a house fire. 
They're also crush proof, 

119
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,280
waterproof, non corrosive, and 
time proof. 

120
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,960
All things that paper is not 
allowing you to huddle your 

121
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for 
the long haul. 

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,720
Stamp your seed on stamp seed. 
I jumped the gun on the Bitcoin 

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,360
while I but scan the QR code. 
Oh, wrong one too. 

124
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,160
Wow, your boy's all over the 
place today. 

125
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Scan the QR code. 
Damn boy. 

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,040
And I'll cover this in the 
culture. 

127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,760
But until then, let's let's plug
Bitcoin. 

128
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,120
Well, because I just got a 
message from Adam this morning 

129
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,200
and the Bitcoin jackpot is is at
5.5 million Sats guys. 

130
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,600
So you have literally under I 
think it's like 195 blocks until

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,280
the jackpot contest is over and 
you won't be able to win the 

132
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,000
stats. 
But anyways back to Bitcoin. 

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640
Well guys, we love the boys over
at Bitcoin. 

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,800
Well it's a Bitcoin only 
exchange. 

135
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,040
It is self custody by default, 
no VC money and literally no 

136
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,040
withdrawals when you take your 
Bitcoin into custody and they 

137
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,240
want your feedback on making it 
the best self custody Bitcoin 

138
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,200
only platform possible. 
So go talk to Adam, hit him in 

139
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,680
the DMS, hit him publicly. 
They want to get your feedback 

140
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,920
and they're constantly listening
to your feedback. 

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,440
I think he told me every two 
weeks are going to update it and

142
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,160
ship new products and and new 
features for you guys. 

143
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,040
But again, you know the Bitcoin 
well jackpot guys, 5.5 million 

144
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Sats and you will win 69% of 
that if you are the winner and 

145
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,600
then the second winner is 21 and
the rest, the 10% will go to a 

146
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,840
fund of your choice. 
So go vote for that on the 

147
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Twitterverse. 
But guys, you are running out of

148
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,720
time. 
So you need to Sign up today, go

149
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,280
to bitcoinwell.com/contest, sign
up, or if you're already a user 

150
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,960
then you got to find the rewards
tab. 

151
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Anyways, they're giving out free
Sats for you guys who who 

152
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480
doesn't like free Sats. 
So let's get into the numbers 

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,200
guys. 
As you can tell, my favorite 

154
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,200
number is the block height. 
We are currently at a block 

155
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:13,560
height of 8339, wait 839,803 and
the stats per dollar? 

156
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,080
We're at 15165 Stats per dollar.
Amazing. 

157
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Remember when we were all 
complaining about, you know, 

158
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400
stats being 5000 and when we're 
going to get under 3000 and 

159
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,360
2001? 
Now it looks like we're getting 

160
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,280
closer to under 1000 stats. 
Man. 

161
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Your dollar doesn't go as far as
it used to. 

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Absolutely incredible. 
Anyways, the Bitcoin price is 

163
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,799
currently at $63,900. 
The percentage of Bitcoin that 

164
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:40,159
will ever be issued is currently
at 93.74%. 

165
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,880
The market cap in Fiat terms is 
1.26 trillion. 

166
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,080
I think that's roughly above the
silver market cap. 

167
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,600
It's holding on above silver. 
So you know I I I got a few 

168
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,240
people talking about silver in 
my in my Twitter DMS and and 

169
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,520
what do you call it mentions the
other day Bitcoin is superior to

170
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,840
silver. 
We don't call it hard money 

171
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,040
because it makes a sound when 
you drop your money and that's 

172
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080
literally what someone was 
basically saying on Twitter 

173
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,960
can't make this up. 
Anyways, the real inflation 

174
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,960
currently at 1.73 taking Fiat 
currencies of school and that is

175
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,640
going down in roughly 200 blocks
actually let me let me update 

176
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
this so that yeah we get the 
current block height, the 

177
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,520
Bitcoin versus gold market cap, 
we are at 9.09%, we're not even 

178
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,640
at 10% of the gold market cap. 
So there's still so much room to

179
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,560
run in the hard money games. 
You just love to see it. 

180
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,280
The total public lightning 
capacity is 4417.68 BTC and the 

181
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,200
hash rate the last 90 days is at
588 extra hashes. 

182
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,760
The pending fees it's it, it 
kind of kicked up the last 

183
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
couple of days. 
It kicked up a little bit but 

184
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,480
we'll I honestly guys I think we
might see some crazy stuff on 

185
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,560
the having day. 
So maybe consolidate or wait a 

186
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,040
little bit because there's going
to be there's going to be a lot 

187
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,840
of things happening on the 
having day with all this 

188
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
ordinals and whatever this room 
stuff is. 

189
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,040
So fees might get crazy guys. 
So do not wait till the having 

190
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,600
to consolidate maybe give it 
some time maybe do it today. 

191
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Anyways, the pending fees 
currently is 11.49 BTC at least 

192
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
to the men pulls that Clark 
Moody is connected to. 

193
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,880
And the biggest number here 
guys, the blocks to happening, 

194
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,280
197 blocks till the happening, 
let's go. 

195
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,680
And of course where it looks 
like we're not going to hit the 

196
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:28,000
meme date of April 20th, but 
we're going to hit April 19th, 

197
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,800
it's going to be tomorrow. 
It's going to be in 200 blocks. 

198
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,720
It'll be tomorrow at some point,
probably in the evening, it who 

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,440
knows what's going to happen, 
but I think it's going to be a 

200
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520
late night having, so you know, 
get your champagne ready if you 

201
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,400
want to go. 
Have fun, have a good time. 

202
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:44,720
Wait, if it's a late night, 
having that means that it might 

203
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,080
be 14. 
Some people it's. 

204
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,720
Going to be 420 in some parts of
the world, but for us, I think 

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280
it's no, you know. 
What It's it's it's going to be 

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,360
420, yeah, in all our hearts. 
Meme is life and life is meme, 

207
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,040
OK? 
Right guys, time is meme. 

208
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,320
It's block height. 
That's the only time that 

209
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,360
matters. 
Guys, you, you guys are all 

210
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Gregorian Maxis and it shows we 
are, we are time chain Maxis. 

211
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,480
All right, guys, So, so I was 
telling you, today's numbers is 

212
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,640
about the halving. 
Of course everyone's wondering, 

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,480
but there's still people out 
there that don't even know what 

214
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,400
the halving is. 
There's people out there that 

215
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,360
are wondering what's going to go
on with the price. 

216
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,280
Is the price going to tank? 
Is the price going to go up? 

217
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,680
It doesn't really matter in the 
short term. 

218
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,200
It might go down. 
It might go up. 

219
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,880
You know, this is Opti's trading
group. 

220
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Hey, you know, I don't know 
what's going on. 

221
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,680
It might go down. 
It might go up. 

222
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,320
All you need to know is buy some
Bitcoin. 

223
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,040
But the signal is being spread 
and you can see here the Graceco

224
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,800
CEO Michael Sun and Shine. 
I'm butchering your last name. 

225
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Sorry. 
On Bloomberg discovering discuss

226
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,680
discussing the upcoming Bitcoin 
having this week And you know 

227
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,360
very simply if demand for this 
asset is continuing to increase 

228
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
but the supply is slowing down. 
Historically that's been a 

229
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,760
tailwind for Bitcoin price. 
So Bitcoin's becoming the 

230
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,520
hardest, soundest money in the 
world. 

231
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,680
It's it kind of. 
Technically, officially is 

232
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,840
already the hardest, soundest 
money in the world. 

233
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,600
But now it will be undeniable. 
There will be half the amount of

234
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,760
Bitcoin that circulate 
throughout the day. 

235
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760
Which means, hey, less Bitcoin 
on the market. 

236
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,440
More demand. 
Number goes up. 

237
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,000
We'd love to see it. 
Someone in the chat or rather on

238
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,880
my D timeline was like, all 
right, that's cool, hardest 

239
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,600
money in the world in one day. 
What's that mean? 

240
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360
For me, it means number goes up.
It's going up forever. 

241
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,920
But anyways, let's get the 
signal here. 

242
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,960
And then you know, I, I, I hate 
to bring a chart for you guys, 

243
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,640
but we're going to, we're going 
to kind of at least give you a 

244
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,640
framework for what's going to 
happen to the price after the 

245
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,640
halving. 
Look towards this Bitcoin 

246
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,480
halving. 
Maybe it'll happen on Friday. 

247
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Wait, Wait. 
Wait. 

248
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,200
One second. 
One second. 

249
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,120
What's going on? 
My audio's acting up over here. 

250
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Was that coming through for you?
Yeah. 

251
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Oh, it seemed like it was coming
through my computer. 

252
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,240
All right. 
Anyways, let's go. 

253
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Imminent. 
Usually it's a tailwind for 

254
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,960
prices, but are you expecting? 
Not this time. 

255
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,720
Have we already hit the rally, 
The peak of the Rally for 

256
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,760
Bitcoin for 2024? 
Well, it's great to be here. 

257
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Thank you so much for having me.
I think for a lot of investors, 

258
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,640
especially this Bitcoin having, 
it's a little bit different this

259
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120
time around. 
And I really say that because I 

260
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,760
think it's really a function of 
who and how many investors are 

261
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,600
involved in the crypto ecosystem
as compared to other havings. 

262
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
So for a lot of investors, this 
has been a really important 

263
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,440
milestone for them to really 
revisit the fundamentals of 

264
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,200
Bitcoin. 
The fact that the overall cap of

265
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,120
the Bitcoin token supply 
issuance will only reach 21 

266
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,360
million tokens. 
On average, new Bitcoin are 

267
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,680
mined about every 10 minutes and
new Bitcoin coming into 

268
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:46,320
circulation, and about every 
four years that supply gets cut 

269
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080
in half. 
So Bitcoin today there's about 

270
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
19 + 1,000,000 tokens in 
circulation. 

271
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,680
It'll take about the next 120 
years for the remaining, you 

272
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,680
know, two or so million bitcoins
to come online. 

273
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840
And every time we come up to one
of these having events, it 

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680
really does come back to the 
fundamentals of supply and 

275
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,920
demand. 
If demand for this asset is 

276
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480
continuing to increase but the 
supply is slowing down, 

277
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,720
historically that has been a 
tailwind for Bitcoin prices. 

278
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,400
So we're just a couple of days 
away from this next Bitcoin 

279
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,440
having. 
So I think a lot of investors 

280
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,360
are eagerly anticipating to see 
what the market reaction will 

281
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,200
be. 
Let's go. 

282
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Absolutely love to see it. 
I love when corporate legacy 

283
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,360
media finally get some good 
signal out there, and especially

284
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,160
on Bloomberg, like Bloomberg. 
Yes. 

285
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,680
I was about to say if you, if 
you hear this guy talk, you 

286
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,760
would think that he's just like 
100% Fiat and like kind of, you 

287
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,080
know, not on our side, like 
definitely doesn't sound like a 

288
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,560
bitcoiner. 
And then you hear what he has to

289
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,240
say and it's like, wow, we 
finally made it. 

290
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,360
We're at, we've arrived. 
This is finally the moment that 

291
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,680
we've been waiting for. 
We've made it. 

292
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,400
I love to see Bloomberg finally 
get some signal out there. 

293
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,960
So they're basically just as bad
as the Fiat times. 

294
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,560
Anyways, there is this good 
tweet from Bitwise on Twitter 

295
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,480
and it goes. 
Historically the halving has 

296
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
been good for bitcoins price 
long term. 

297
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,440
A look at the data, the change 
in Bitcoin price in the year 

298
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,120
following the halving 2012, we 
had an 8839% increase. 

299
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:23,920
In 2016 we had a 285% increase. 
In 2020 we had a 548% increase 

300
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040
and then the change in bitcoin's
price in the month following the

301
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880
halving 2012 it was 9%. 
In 2016 it went down 10%. 

302
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,400
In 2020 it went 6%. 
So the data is limited but the 

303
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,200
picture reveals an intriguing 
pattern. 

304
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,400
The market prices in the short 
term impact of the halving but 

305
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
underestimate the long term 
impact and a lot of new people 

306
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,600
are coming into Bitcoin and I I 
even talked with my boy Alex 

307
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,040
from Kaboom racks. 
I'm like, yo, is there going to 

308
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,880
be a lot of blood on the streets
for the miners? 

309
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,280
He's like, I think there might 
be some blood on the streets. 

310
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,560
I even talked from another 
friend. 

311
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,920
He's like man, I even think the 
men pools are going to get 

312
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,800
crazy. 
We have all this stuff going 

313
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,640
about you know ordinals and 
inscriptions and the fees might 

314
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,080
get absolutely insane on that 
block for the new epoch. 

315
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440
So buckle up guys. 
It it looks like it might be a 

316
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,360
celebration and even I I forget 
where it was. 

317
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,720
Like I think CNBC was basically 
saying that the halving is like 

318
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,000
the World Cup for Bitcoin. 
So it it seems like now it's 

319
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,440
becoming a celebration for the 
having. 

320
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,560
And you know, we just went to El
Salvador for a party. 

321
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,040
So maybe the world's waking up a
little bit to the importance of 

322
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,760
the having. 
And here again, I told you guys 

323
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,640
I was going to bring a little 
chart here and this is not for 

324
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800
price predictions. 
There's no TA here, It's just to

325
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,600
show you on the chart what has 
happened to the Bitcoin price 

326
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,960
after the halving. 
So I have them marked here. 

327
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,840
The days of the halving you can 
see here November 12th, and what

328
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,320
did it do? 
It started to run afterwards, 

329
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000
and that's roughly a year after 
the halving. 

330
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,120
When the price gets a blow off 
top, it starts to hit new highs 

331
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,120
again. 
It'll go sideways, it hits the 

332
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,920
halving, it might dip a little 
bit and then it starts to make 

333
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,480
it to run. 
And that was July 20, sixteenth 

334
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:10,240
again pretty similar the month, 
the month after the halving, the

335
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,480
price might kind of consolidate,
might go down a little bit, but 

336
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,119
it starts to run roughly 12 to 
18 months afterwards and we're 

337
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,160
seemingly doing the same pattern
again. 

338
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,760
So you know this month the the, 
the price kind of went down 

339
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,880
finally a red month and next 
month who knows what's going to 

340
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,480
happen, maybe it goes down a 
little bit. 

341
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,160
We saw it's gone historically 
down maybe you know -10% on the 

342
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,560
monthly close or maybe it goes 
up 10% on the monthly close. 

343
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,360
So maybe we just go a little 
sideways, but historically, 12 

344
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,880
to 18 months after the halving, 
the price starts to make 

345
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,440
absolutely new incredible highs,
which is why I had to put the 

346
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,960
sailor mean here, guys, it's 
going up forever. 

347
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,640
So what's going to happen to the
Bitcoin price again? 

348
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,040
Like people are trolling me in 
the chat. 

349
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:55,960
I don't know. 
No one knows what's going to 

350
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,560
happen after the halving. 
All we know is that Bitcoin is 

351
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,800
becoming scarcer. 
There's going to be less Bitcoin

352
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,320
being circulated daily in block 
subsidies. 

353
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,880
It's going to get cut. 
I think right now, if if my math

354
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,680
is correct and I remember, it's 
like 990 a day, so we'll get cut

355
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,880
down to about 400 a day, which 
means that the supply is 

356
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,600
becoming more scarce. 
It's going to officially be the 

357
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,160
hardest money or synthetic 
money. 

358
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,440
However you want to frame this 
in the world, roughly gold is 

359
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,240
around 2% a year. 
Inflation rate, we're roughly 

360
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,000
around that right now with 
Bitcoin. 

361
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Yes, it's lower than that and 
now it's going to get cut in 

362
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,200
half. 
So what's this mean? 

363
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,960
Less supply with more demand 
equals number has to respond and

364
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,640
as we're saying, we might be 
seeing some bloodbath in regards

365
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,960
to the miners right now. 
So I think we will see some 

366
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,920
fireworks guys. 
But for you guys at home, what's

367
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,800
it mean? 
It means stack Sats, continue to

368
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,560
stack Sats. 
We might get a buying 

369
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,000
opportunity. 
But either way, I think in the 

370
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,200
next 12 to 18 months, this is 
the cheapest Bitcoin will ever 

371
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,120
be. 
So do not take your foot off the

372
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,880
gas. 
We know one thing number will go

373
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,080
up. 
It's it's mathematically 

374
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,360
algorithmically defined at this 
point. 

375
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:14,080
So hey, for you guys out there, 
don't complicate this. 

376
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,360
It just means less bitcoins 
coming out on the market and 

377
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:21,200
usually 12 to 18 months after 
the halving the price starts to 

378
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,120
run. 
So it looks like we might be in 

379
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:27,120
for a year of nothing but green 
candles boys and girls. 

380
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:29,520
So just absolutely love to see 
it man. 

381
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,200
It feels it's so much better 
being on a on a Bitcoin having 

382
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,520
and life's so much better on the
Bitcoin having anyway. 

383
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,320
So what's your thoughts on this?
Life is so much better on a bull

384
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,040
year. 
Wait, wait. 

385
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,520
It has this common top roller, 
so half the price in every 

386
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,920
wallet gets halved? 
What? 

387
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,280
No. 
It would be interesting to see 

388
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,800
how much exposure has changed 
from previous years to this one,

389
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,560
because as we know, the ETF has 
been huge in getting people 

390
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,240
exposed to Bitcoin, buying 
Bitcoin for the first time. 

391
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,400
Even though it's not really 
Bitcoin, still it's getting 

392
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,520
people to even just like 
understand what the having is 

393
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,040
and be interested in what it is 
because they never really gave a

394
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,960
shit before because their 
financial advisor never put it 

395
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,280
on the table. 
I wonder why it's still not, you

396
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,520
know, the greatest. 
They're not really incentivized 

397
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,800
to do it, but they have to 
because that's, you know, where 

398
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800
the financial institutions are 
going. 

399
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:25,960
But either way, it's 
interesting. 

400
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,440
It would be interesting to know 
how that exposure is going to 

401
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,680
change the price immediately 
after, because we're all 

402
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,880
expecting a little bit of a dip,
which I'm expecting a little bit

403
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,520
of a dip. 
I hope it does so that I can 

404
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,200
stack more Sats it. 
It would just be interesting to 

405
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,880
see how the exposure now has 
changed, what that could 

406
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,800
potentially mean after the 
halving. 

407
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,960
But it doesn't really matter. 
The price doesn't really matter.

408
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,160
All we know is that it's going 
up forever, Laura. 

409
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,240
And whether it dips 10% or it 
goes up, you just have to keep 

410
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,960
buying Bitcoin. 
My mom's in the chat, guys, 

411
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,880
She's saying that my grandma's 
even buying Bitcoin. 

412
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,520
So if your grandma isn't buying 
Bitcoin, I don't know what to 

413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,800
tell you. 
Mine is cooler than yours. 

414
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:12,600
Let's go. 
Let's go. 

415
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Yeah. 
And and just to, I guess to 

416
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,520
clarify, when some hack says 
maybe I didn't, I misspoke a 

417
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,240
little bit. 
So the existing Bitcoin doesn't 

418
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,880
change, just the amount of new 
Bitcoin being created. 

419
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,120
This is exactly on point. 
And then there's one more 

420
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,720
comment here that I do want to 
touch on. 

421
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,960
Let me see if I can find it real
quick. 

422
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,680
BTC believer goes, oh wait, 
wrong one, wrong one. 

423
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,200
It was this one. 
Just less reward for the work, 

424
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,080
Yes. 
So there's going to be less 

425
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,760
Bitcoin being released daily and
more supply, which means 

426
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,520
literally the price has to go 
up. 

427
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,720
And This is why, as Bitcoiners, 
we always say, and we got the 

428
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,480
sailor meme here of it's going 
up forever. 

429
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,560
This is Bitcoin economics 
playing out in real time. 

430
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,200
This is why you want to huddle. 
This is why you don't want to 

431
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240
trade Bitcoin, because no one 
really knows what's going on 

432
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
with the price. 
If you end up trying to trade 

433
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,880
your Bitcoin, you might end up 
with less Bitcoin. 

434
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,920
So the name of the game is 
accumulation. 

435
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,040
The name of the game is Hungry 
Hippo with Bitcoin. 

436
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,840
This is going to be probably the
the last great buying 

437
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,360
opportunity for you guys out 
there. 

438
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,360
So you want to continue to stack
them. 

439
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,880
SATS guys just continue to stack
SATS continue to take Bitcoin 

440
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,880
into custody. 
And this is how you win guys. 

441
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,720
This is literally it's this easy
it it don't complicate things 

442
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,680
and and I'll talk about that in 
the culture what's the best way 

443
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,000
to take your Bitcoin into 
custody. 

444
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,880
But until then guys let's get 
into the news let's let's talk 

445
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,080
about El Salvador for a little 
bit. 

446
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,920
Wait, wait. 
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. 

447
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240
There's someone in the chat. 
So if I'm literally a grandpa in

448
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,280
this chat, stacking stats. 
Also, is your grandma single 

449
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000
yet? 
Yes, she is. 

450
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:53,400
She only speaks Spanish, though.
So yeah, my mom was literally on

451
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880
a show with my grandmother 
called. 

452
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,400
I want to marry my mother. 
So we're looking. 

453
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,880
We're looking. 
Interesting. 

454
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,240
All right, boys. 
So I guess, I guess I'm not the 

455
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,000
only one with the Gilson. 
Boomer. 

456
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,160
Even the Boomer bitcoiners are 
gonna be getting girlfriends. 

457
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,880
Oh, my goodness. 
Your girlfriend's going to get a

458
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,600
girlfriend. 
That's that's where we're going 

459
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,440
here, guys. 
Oh, my God. 

460
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,400
All right, one last comment and 
then let's get to the news. 

461
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,920
So Andrew Williams goes, I would
expect the hash rate to drop a 

462
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,040
little and the men pull to get 
bigger, then slowly reach an 

463
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,520
equilibrium. 
Yes, exactly. 

464
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,760
That's exactly what's most 
likely going to happen. 

465
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,040
But also, there is a lot of 
things happening on block 

466
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,040
840,000. 
So I I don't know if you guys 

467
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,440
been following on Twitter, but 
apparently they're going to do 

468
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,920
some inscriptions. 
Ordinal seeing about the first 

469
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,840
SAT from the new epoch, some I 
think they call it rare epic 

470
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,000
sats or something like that. 
So there might be some 

471
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,360
contention in regards to that 
first block and then some. 

472
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,920
I I'm not fully aware of what 
this is but I've I've been 

473
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,920
hearing some hints they're going
to activate something called 

474
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,480
runes which is basically some D 
Gen. shit coinery on top of 

475
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,760
Bitcoin. 
So the first block might get 

476
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,800
very interesting. 
We might see some interesting, 

477
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,360
interesting happen on that 
840,000 block, which means we 

478
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,320
might be seeing some incredibly 
high fees on that block. 

479
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,240
But yeah, we'll find an 
equilibrium. 

480
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,640
Guys, don't freak out. 
Bitcoins going to work exactly 

481
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,800
as designed is a feature, not a 
bug. 

482
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,560
But on that?

So maybe, maybe go check out the

517
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,640

Yeah, they're they're going, 

518
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,160
they're going Ham in the chat. 
Anyways, guys, let's cover the 

519
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,280
news today. 
So we had this big announcement 

520
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,200
coming out of El Salvador. 
Naive Buchelli tweeted this. 

521
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,360
This was April 16th at 9:00 PM. 
He basically there's a video 

522
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,040
here, but here. 
Actually, I'll. 

523
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,200
I'll play this without the sound
so you guys can kind of see it. 

524
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,440
But Google officially 
inaugurates its office in El 

525
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,840
Salvador. 
There's a speech here. 

526
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,880
I I really like this building. 
It looks beautiful. 

527
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,000
It I honestly like, I think 
objectively a good building with

528
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
the big Google sign over there. 
And I I think this really goes 

529
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,280
to show what I what I said in 
the beginning. 

530
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,480
We talked about this constantly 
in regards to the incentives of 

531
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,440
Bitcoin, the incentives of 
entrepreneurship, the incentives

532
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,720
of a government treating its 
citizens correctly and 

533
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,000
incentivizing business. 
And we're seeing that Google 

534
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240
finally gives a nod to El 
Salvador, and now they're 

535
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,000
inaugurating an office in El 
Salvador. 

536
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,080
And it's absolutely beautiful 
and you just love to see that. 

537
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:21,720
Look, El Salvador is is a tiny 
country and they're attracting 

538
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,160
entrepreneurs to their country 
and they really are the the, 

539
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,520
the, what's it, the shining city
on the hill. 

540
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,040
They are really, I think proving
to the world that there is an 

541
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,160
alternative way. 
And if you do things well, then 

542
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,920
people will want to go there 
anyways. 

543
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,360
I got the tweet, the official 
announcement from Google 

544
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,360
Spanish. 
She goes, hello El Salvador, We 

545
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,480
are excited to announce the 
opening of a new office in San 

546
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,280
Salvador. 
We are excited decided to be 

547
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,480
part of this journey and 
contribute to the digital 

548
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,800
transformation of the country. 
This way we will work together 

549
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,440
to create a better future for 
everyone. 

550
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,360
In alliance with civil society 
organizations, Google will 

551
00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:02,760
provide technical and financial 
support of $200,000 to startups 

552
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,480
in El Salvador in order to 
provide them with the tools they

553
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,080
need to start and booth boost 
the growth of their business. 

554
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,960
We welcome you to Growth Digital
LA as our new media sales 

555
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,120
representatives in El Salvador 
who will provide local support, 

556
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:19,480
strategic advice, optimization, 
recommendations and specialized 

557
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,160
training in the country. 
As part of this agreement signed

558
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,000
in 2023 between Google Cloud and
the Government of El Salvador, 

559
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,280
we have made progress in 1/3 or 
in the creation of simplified 

560
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,640
and automated digital ecosystem 
that transform areas such as 

561
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,400
import, export, health and more.
The development of A the 

562
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,240
telemedicine platform that takes
advantage of the generative AI 

563
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,480
to make medical care more 
accessible for Salvadorians and 

564
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,320
providing students and training 
public school teachers in Google

565
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,240
workspace for education. 
These are just our first steps 

566
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,960
in El Salvador to contribute to 
the digital transformation not 

567
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,760
only of the country but of the 
region. 

568
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:02,120
So as we have here this is 
Deputado that the assembly as 

569
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,400
semblance of El Salvador 
Williams Soriano and he goes El 

570
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Salvador has become Google's 
first technology hub for Central

571
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,000
America. 
Welcome. 

572
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
It's just it's it's absolutely 
awesome to see. 

573
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,920
You know El Salvador put itself 
on the map when it made Bitcoin 

574
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,360
legal tender. 
There's been a lot of contention

575
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,800
about them cleaning up the 
streets. 

576
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,840
It's becoming the safest country
in all of the Americas. 

577
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,880
And now they're attracting some 
of the biggest tech companies to

578
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,920
their little country. 
And you just love to see it. 

579
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,640
And I know, I know what 
bitcoiners are going to say, you

580
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880
know, like it's Google, don't 
trust Google. 

581
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,560
They might be part of the part 
of the problem, but you just 

582
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,960
love to see that even they are 
incentivized to give a nod to El

583
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,240
Salvador and be like, OK, 
there's actually something going

584
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,120
on here. 
Will it last? 

585
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,400
Only time will tell, but it is, 
I think, signal to the idea that

586
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,840
we talk about here all the time,
the sovereign individual thesis.

587
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,360
If your government treats you 
well, it will attract capital, 

588
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,440
it will attract entrepreneurs, 
it will attract businesses. 

589
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,960
And if you contrast that to what
we're seeing in the UK or the 

590
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,200
US, where they're literally 
doing the opposite, where they 

591
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,320
are stopping entrepreneurs, 
they're hampering businesses, 

592
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,320
they're trying to control 
capital and people are, you 

593
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,400
know, looking to move and you're
seeing that happen in real time.

594
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,800
But I really want to jump on 
this right here and we've talked

595
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,320
about this in the past. 
I'm over here on 

596
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,880
tradingeconomics.com and just 
talk about the GDP of El 

597
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Salvador. 
In 20/22, it was 32.49 billion. 

598
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,800
Now it's roughly around 33.14 
billion. 

599
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,480
And they're attracting Google, 
one of the biggest companies in 

600
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,600
the world. 
Here's Alphabet Inc, their 

601
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,360
stock, the mother company of 
Google. 

602
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,840
It has a market cap of $1.96 
trillion. 

603
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,560
It's bigger than Bitcoin is 
currently today. 

604
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,600
And they're looking at a tiny 
country and they're like, yeah, 

605
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,840
like we're going to incorporate 
there. 

606
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
We're going to set up shop in El
Salvador. 

607
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,680
We're going to bring innovation 
to Central America. 

608
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,840
And again, you guys, you know, 
you guys can fight it all you 

609
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,920
want, but you just love to see 
that the incentive stay pure. 

610
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,480
And if the incentive stay pure 
in your country, then you will 

611
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,800
attract capital, you will 
attract businesses, you will 

612
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,840
attract entrepreneurs. 
And El Salvador is really a 

613
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,200
blueprint for what's going on in
the world. 

614
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,960
Hence why we see so much hate 
spewed at El Salvador because 

615
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,920
they're afraid of what is going 
on in El Salvador. 

616
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,120
But this really makes you think,
and we are a Bitcoin show after 

617
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,480
all, What exactly is Google's 
playbook here? 

618
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,040
Are they trying to, you know, 
add intelligence agencies down 

619
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,280
in El Salvador and control the 
things? 

620
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,400
I don't know, you can get 
tinfoil had all you want. 

621
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,640
Are they giving a nod to El 
Salvador of the fact that they 

622
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,360
went on a Bitcoin standard? 
Are they just seeing the 

623
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960
innovation, They're seeing the 
entrepreneurship, they're seeing

624
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,520
the business attraction to El 
Salvador and wanting to be a 

625
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,280
part of that? 
Who really knows. 

626
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,920
But there was some signal out 
there from Max Kaiser and you 

627
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
can see Alphabet Inc over here, 
you know, they got total assets 

628
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,640
of $402,000,000. 
That's what they're holding, its

629
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,080
total assets. 
And you know, you got Kaiser 

630
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,440
over here. 
It's like, welcome to Bitcoin 

631
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,720
country, Google, no shit. 
Coins allowed. 

632
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,560
I see you have a lot of trashy 
Fiat money on your balance 

633
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,320
sheet. 
You realize all this garbage 

634
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,520
goes to zero against Bitcoin, 
right? 

635
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,800
And so I googled this a little 
bit. 

636
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,360
I'm on macotrends.net and you 
can see that as of December 

637
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:32,800
31st, 2023, Google has $110 
billion in cash with A2 per 2.5%

638
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,280
decline year over year. 
So again, I I can't do mass, I 

639
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:43,240
can't do quick mass. 
But losing 2.5% of $110 billion 

640
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,840
is a sizable chunk of money that
they are losing and purchasing 

641
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,640
power. 
So it just goes to show what 

642
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,600
exactly is their intentions 
here. 

643
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Are they trying to just get some
some foothold in Central 

644
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,120
America? 
They're trying to innovate as 

645
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,160
they were saying, you know 
transform El Salvador digitally.

646
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,600
They're trying to add education.
I I think I saw in that video 

647
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,880
that Naibukali was saying that 
every kid now has a Google iPad,

648
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,560
a a Google computer to to 
improve education. 

649
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,240
They want to improve the the 
healthcare, they want to add and

650
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,160
update the infrastructure down 
there. 

651
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,880
So it is, I think on the one 
hand a beautiful development to 

652
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,160
the idea that if you are an 
entrepreneur or country, if you 

653
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,080
can attract capital, if you can 
attract business and you can 

654
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,280
build a country with the right 
incentives that you will attract

655
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,920
the richest people in the world.
And here we are, yes, the El 

656
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,360
Salvador, it's a recent 
development. 

657
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,320
Who knows if this is going to 
have foothold, who knows how 

658
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,120
long El Salvador can continue to
innovate. 

659
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,200
But the more tech companies that
get attracted to Bitcoin, the 

660
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,960
more you will see that they will
be on track to becoming the the 

661
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,760
tech hub of Central America. 
And again, let's not forget, you

662
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,080
know, El Salvador's GDP is $32 
billion. 

663
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,400
Like Elon Musk could buy El 
Salvador like 6 times over. 

664
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,520
You know, Google can buy El 
Salvador a few times over, but 

665
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,159
they want to align with with El 
Salvador and what they're 

666
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:14,400
building, which I think just 
goes to show which a lot of the 

667
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,239
things we talk about here. 
When you have a strong leader, 

668
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,760
when you have a leader with 
vision, when you have a country 

669
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,560
that wants to incentivize 
production and entrepreneurship,

670
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,560
good things come out of that. 
And we've been talking about 

671
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,960
that constantly on this show 
that the incentives right now, 

672
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,440
the way you see them in America,
it's starting to hamper the the 

673
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,679
not only the individual but the 
country. 

674
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,719
And you want to attract 
entrepreneurs. 

675
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,080
This is why Nico always says 
constantly like, oh, we might 

676
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,120
have to leave America when I'm 
like we're never leaving 

677
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,960
America. 
I don't know what you're talking

678
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000
about. 
America's still the best country

679
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,239
in the world. 
As far as I'm concerned. 

680
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,760
It's still the richest country 
in the world. 

681
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,239
But everyone is seeing the same 
thing. 

682
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,720
If you are holding cash, you are
losing value. 

683
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,680
And imagine being Google right 
now, you are incorporating in El

684
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,160
Salvador. 
There's got to at the very least

685
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,640
be some conversations about the 
Bitcoin standard. 

686
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,720
Maybe it's a flippant 
conversation, but it's on their 

687
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,920
radar. 
And hey, if Google takes a 

688
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,280
percentage of their cash balance
goes into Bitcoin, not only will

689
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,560
their cash balance improve, but 
that will also be one of those 

690
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:27,480
maturing moments in Bitcoin. 
It will be another nod to 

691
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Bitcoin. 
Again, we don't necessarily need

692
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,200
all these tech investors. 
We don't really need Wall Street

693
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,560
to come into Bitcoin, but it 
will go a long way to the normie

694
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,480
mind out there that, oh wow, 
Bitcoin maybe is a mature asset.

695
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,040
Maybe it is something I need to 
buy. 

696
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,720
Maybe it is something I need to 
hold on my balance sheet and 

697
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:49,400
slowly but surely we will get to
the point where everyone and 

698
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,040
their mother starts to use 
Bitcoin. 

699
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,400
We're we're almost there, 
Sophie, Sophie's already on 

700
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,880
this. 
So anyway, so what's your 

701
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,840
thoughts? 
And then I think I might might 

702
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,960
look at some some chats here. 
You know, on one hand, I think 

703
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,600
it's kind of sad that it takes a
company like Google, who has 

704
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:10,520
invaded all of our privacies and
sold our data to the government,

705
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,760
etcetera, etcetera, that it 
takes a company like that 

706
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,800
powerful to incentivize the 
normies to buy Bitcoin. 

707
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,920
And unfortunately, that is the 
truth. 

708
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,640
Companies like this legitimize 
Bitcoin to the average 

709
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,960
individual. 
To everybody else that has been 

710
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,480
stacking Bitcoin, it's like kind
of SUS because it's it's it's 

711
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,440
Google. 
It's somebody who again has 

712
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,280
invaded your privacy, who hasn't
done right by you. 

713
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:42,240
But as a line said in the chat, 
does Bitcoin fix Google? 

714
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:46,240
Does Bitcoin fix the incentives 
that Google has? 

715
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,800
Is Google trying to get orange 
pilled or did they get orange 

716
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,520
peeled? 
Is that the real reason that 

717
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,000
they're in El Salvador? 
Personally, I think that Google 

718
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,280
sees an opportunity for El 
Salvador to be the next Silicon 

719
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Valley in Central America. 
Maybe they're trying to bring 

720
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,080
other tech companies into El 
Salvador and they just want to 

721
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,720
have the first footing in El 
Salvador. 

722
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,560
So it could be a multiple, a 
multitude of reasons. 

723
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,880
It could be the the fact that El
Salvador has become the safest 

724
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,880
country in Central America. 
But one thing for sure is that 

725
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,920
Bitcoin is somewhere in the 
fold. 

726
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:31,960
And maybe the maybe Bitcoin is 
the thing that changes Bitcoin 

727
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,160
for the better. 
Yeah, we'll see. 

728
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,840
I mean they they used to have, 
and maybe maybe I'm mixing up 

729
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,480
the tech company, but didn't 
they used to have the the meme 

730
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,680
company memo of don't do evil 
and then they seemingly have 

731
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,520
gone evil, but maybe they're 
pulling back now this he. 

732
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,080
Said don't do evil until the 
government pays us a lot of 

733
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,240
money or threatens to shut us 
down. 

734
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:57,200
We don't really know what the 
story is behind that, you know? 

735
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:02,200
But one thing, one thing we can 
know for sure is that maybe 

736
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:07,440
going to a new country that has 
a Bitcoin standard will change 

737
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,080
all of that. 
Yeah, I mean I think that's 

738
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,440
that's probably the biggest 
thing for us as Bitcoiners. 

739
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,080
Yes, you know you guys, we can 
all probably agree that Google 

740
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,240
has done a lot of bad things and
maybe Google isn't a good thing 

741
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:23,560
moving down there. 
But they have just given El 

742
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,280
Salvador a nod. 
They are a bitcoinized country. 

743
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,480
They are an entrepreneur based 
country. 

744
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,960
They have a strong leader. 
So the fact that they're giving 

745
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:36,440
naive Bukele and El Salvador a 
nod here and and actually going 

746
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,480
to their because they could have
picked any, any Central American

747
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,520
country in the world, like they 
could have gone anywhere. 

748
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,120
But they chose a Bitcoin 
country. 

749
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Yeah, exactly. 
They chose the Bitcoin country 

750
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,200
to go incorporate so. 
And like I said, we don't know 

751
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,720
the whole story here. 
We don't know the full story. 

752
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:55,840
Maybe they've been cooked by the
government this entire time and 

753
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,080
this is their way out. 
They're saying, OK, let's just 

754
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,520
go to El Salvador and escape the
hold of the federal government 

755
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,600
so that we can start again and 
go back to our roots of not 

756
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,000
doing evil. 
That could be the thing, You 

757
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,360
never know. 
And maybe by being on a Bitcoin 

758
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,520
standard and not relying so much
on the dollar, they're able to 

759
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,440
become the thing that they once 
were. 

760
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,240
Wow. 
You would. 

761
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,080
You can hope a boy can still 
hope I have a. 

762
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,240
Lot of hopium this, this, this 
Bitcoin bull market has me just 

763
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:31,400
so optimistic about life. 
All right, well we have a few 

764
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,720
comments. 
Let's read a few comments here. 

765
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:35,320
So and then says you know what 
Google did to Ireland. 

766
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,960
I am not totally familiar, so 
drop it in the chat and we'll 

767
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,400
hopefully cover it. 
Loco TX goes Google coin 

768
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,320
incoming. 
Oh lightning go, it's Bitcoin. 

769
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Going to flip Google soon. 
This is undeniable. 

770
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:52,920
Bitcoin will flip Google soon. 
And we got FZ hard acre goes 

771
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,520
Google and Bitcoin do not go 
together. 

772
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,800
Hey bitcoins for enemies we will
see what happened. 

773
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,000
I like this one multi stacker 
Google got orange pillar I think

774
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,240
of course we're speculating here
but I think this I think that 

775
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:08,160
might be the case a little bit. 
They're definitely seeing. 

776
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,960
What's going on in El Salvador? 
And so guys, maybe over under 

777
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,520
how long until Google announces 
Bitcoin on their balance sheet 

778
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,320
and like Sophie was saying, 
super hopeful. 

779
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,920
Maybe they are trying to pull 
things back. 

780
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,040
I am seeing this pendulum 
happening right now where you 

781
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,000
know the go woke, go broke meme 
is happening and people are 

782
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,080
trying to pull it back and 
understand that hey maybe, uh 

783
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,080
maybe this libertarian, 
entrepreneur, anarcho capitalist

784
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,320
stuff may, May maybe it's more 
profitable. 

785
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,360
Maybe it's more beneficial for 
my citizens, but hey, or my. 

786
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,760
Win, win. 
It's a win, win situation 

787
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,360
because if they give into their 
financial incentives, in this 

788
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,920
particular case, because it's 
Bitcoin, it actually also kind 

789
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,280
of gives into the moral 
incentives, right? 

790
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,360
Because if they're making money 
by going to a country that is on

791
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,320
a Bitcoin standard, bitcoiners 
are going to expect privacy. 

792
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Bitcoiners are going to expect 
this company to cater to them, 

793
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,600
and eventually all tech 
companies, all companies in the 

794
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,440
world are going to have to align
themselves with those 

795
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,720
incentives. 
And that's how Bitcoin fixes 

796
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:19,600
things at the very root, because
now your consumer, the 

797
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,760
consumer's power is that much 
more as, as someone said that 

798
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,280
life gets cheaper on a Bitcoin 
standard, right? 

799
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,080
So if life gets cheaper, you're 
also less likely to, you know, 

800
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,200
spend your money on things that 
are frivolous and not good for 

801
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,320
you. 
And so Google and other 

802
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,960
companies will be forced to 
change. 100 percent, 100%. 

803
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,680
All right, there is a few 
comments before I get into self 

804
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,720
custody and culture today, but I
like this winsome hacks. 

805
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,600
He goes, El Salvador has been 
the lighthouse for South 

806
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,040
American countries. 
Get the IMF and the US dollar 

807
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,240
off their back and they grow. 
It's almost like, it's almost 

808
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:59,280
like they're a parasite and 
they're blood psyching their 

809
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,320
citizens. 
I mean, I'm just speculating 

810
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,440
here. 
I don't know what's going on 

811
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,200
here, guys, but how about this 
one, Elaine? 

812
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,840
Maybe they will change their 
tagline back to don't be evil to

813
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,520
buy Bitcoin. 
Yes, this is the one, all right.

814
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,480
And last one, When something 
goes, even if Bitcoin isn't the 

815
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,880
reason for the move, it has 
contributed to the success of El

816
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,240
Salvador and Google have to work
in a Bitcoin environment by law.

817
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,000
This is the signal, guys. 
This is why we're talking about 

818
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,760
it. 
And of course, we can all 

819
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,960
speculate about who's going to 
hold Bitcoin on their balance 

820
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,720
sheet, but this is the signal 
here. 

821
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,560
They have moved to a Bitcoin 
country and now they have to 

822
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,240
work within a Bitcoin country's 
laws. 

823
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,280
And so we'll see, man. 
We'll see how this goes. 

824
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,360
We'll see what actually 
happened. 

825
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,240
But as this knock said, Google 
Now answers to Bitcoin. 

826
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:45,800
You just love to see it, guys. 
It it really goes to what we say

827
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,080
here. 
Constantly, incentives rule the 

828
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,040
world and bitcoins, incentives 
are pure. 

829
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,640
And if you allow a country to 
flourish in a seemingly free 

830
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,000
market, well, you're going to 
attract capital, you're going to

831
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,840
attract businesses, you're going
to attract entrepreneurs. 

832
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,920
And this is the standard that 
Bitcoin is unleashing on the 

833
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,000
world. 
Hopefully you guys caught Jeff 

834
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,400
Booth last night on the IRL and 
if you guys haven't caught it 

835
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,960
yet, go watch it. 
It's a very hopeful rip. 

836
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,240
Nico got off all giddy. 
He's like, man, dude, we're 

837
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:17,600
going to win so hard. 
Like the future is so bright. 

838
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,520
And it really just goes to show 
what we keep telling you guys 

839
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,240
constantly man. 
Fiat world. 

840
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:24,880
Clown world, however you want to
call it. 

841
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,640
It is a world full of nihilism, 
pessimism. 

842
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,640
It's not a good world. 
Go talk to your Normie friends 

843
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,240
right now. 
Everyone's losing their minds 

844
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:34,680
about the current thing, and all
of us bitcoiners are like, hey 

845
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,680
guys, just join us. 
Like life's so much better. 

846
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,800
Isn't it better when your net 
worth goes up? 

847
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,960
Isn't it better when you 
transact voluntarily 

848
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,960
consensually with other humans? 
It connects the world, and we're

849
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,560
seeing that happen in real time.
The world has never been more 

850
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,760
interconnected and as soon as we
can can eliminate the middle 

851
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,840
men, the trusted third parties 
in the middle and value can flow

852
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,320
freely. 
Ideas can flow freely throughout

853
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,000
planet Earth. 
The world's going to improve and

854
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,760
this is what we constantly talk 
about here. 

855
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,920
This is what we constantly try 
to push on you guys. 

856
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,600
There is hope at the end of the 
tunnel, guys, and it starts with

857
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,880
stacking sets, staying humble, 
providing value to your fellow 

858
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:20,040
man, and things will go up. 
Life is great on a Bitcoin 

859
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,680
standard. 
Oh man, we're going to. 

860
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,400
Christine's in the chat already.
Christine's in the chat already.

861
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,560
Oh, man. 
OK guys, let's go to the culture

A lot of good conversations in 
there appreciate all the love 

891
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,680
guys. 
And then next of course go to 

892
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,400
Kaboom racks. 
Kaboom Racks the best place to 

893
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,960
buy, sell and host your Bitcoin 
A6. 

894
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,760
If you are on the fence whether 
you should buy a six where you 

895
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,520
should get into Bitcoin mining. 
Get in touch with the kaboom 

896
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,640
racks team. 
They have a great white glove 

897
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,240
service. 
They'll they'll talk to you 

898
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:27,160
about all of the incentives, all
of the options, whether it's a 

899
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,680
good time to get into Bitcoin 
mining. 

900
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,720
Actually a little, a little T 
here for you guys. 

901
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:34,480
I was talking again like I said,
my boy Alex from Kaboom racks 

902
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,280
and he was basically saying dude
might be some blood on the 

903
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,280
streets in the next couple of 
weeks. 

904
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,800
So it might be a good time to 
pick up some A6, not right now, 

905
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,160
but in the next couple of weeks.
So if you've been on the fence, 

906
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680
you might be able to pick up 
some cheap A6. 

907
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,520
I think we're going to see some 
fireworks. 

908
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,560
It's going to be very 
interesting to see what happens 

909
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,080
with some of these big miners. 
I think, you know, even Bob 

910
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,280
Burnett was saying it at Bitlock
boom that we we might see some 

911
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960
miners going down guys. 
So this is a very interesting 

912
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,080
time for Bitcoin. 
We are leaving third epoch, 

913
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,800
entering the 4th epoch. 
Bitcoin scarcity is going down, 

914
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,480
hash rates going to go up. 
We're going to see what happens 

915
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,560
with the miners out there. 
So it's going to get very 

916
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,120
interesting. 
So if you're on the fence, get 

917
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,120
in touch with the Kaboom racks 
team and they will walk you 

918
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,040
through all of that. 
There are the boys out there. 

919
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,600
OK, on that note guys, I do this
bit all the time. 

920
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,000
We are getting new viewers on 
the show, so I love to try to 

921
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,600
catch people up. 
I love getting people up to 

922
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,920
speed. 
Not only do we bring on cool 

923
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,800
people on this show, but 
sometimes I go into the the the 

924
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,560
nitty gritty, the weeds here so 
that you guys can get up to 

925
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,960
speed so you guys can feel 
better about taking your Bitcoin

926
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,600
into custody because as we say 
all the time self custody is the

927
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,880
revolution. 
Anyways, we got this comment on 

928
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,640
YouTube, this was I got this in 
our slack I believe it was last 

929
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,160
night. 
So the last couple of days we 

930
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,400
have, and forgive me for 
butchering your name bro, but we

931
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:09,880
have at F pass Cavacious, F 
Cavacious or F Pesky Vicious. 

932
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,880
I don't know bro, sorry but a 
listener and he goes. 

933
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,720
After months of listening to the
show on a daily basis on 

934
00:48:15,720 --> 00:48:18,960
Spotify, today for the first 
time I decided to watch the show

935
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,720
on YouTube and put a face on you
guys, Nico and Opti. 

936
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,000
I had no idea what you guys look
like. 

937
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,120
I pictured Opti as a long 
haired, chill looking type of 

938
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,840
guy. 
I'm sorry to disappoint but 

939
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,960
you're not too far off. 
Don't stop doing what you do. 

940
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,640
There are people definitely 
listening and this is what we're

941
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,800
going to talk about today right 
here. 

942
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,000
It's like I would like you guys 
to talk more about self custody.

943
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,320
I know you do, but still sounds 
intimidating like it is for 

944
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,600
someone else. 
Get Natalie Burnell on the show 

945
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:45,600
as well. 
All right. 

946
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,480
So on today's show, we're going 
to talk about self custody and 

947
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,040
and I've done this bit a few 
times, I've updated it. 

948
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,640
I even have some physical 
hardware wallets for you guys 

949
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,880
here and just to just to touch 
on the first point guys it is so

950
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,480
it is intimidating your first 
time. 

951
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,800
Like I can remember my first 
time when I took Bitcoin into 

952
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,840
custody. 
I I had to bought and I know you

953
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,400
guys are going to throw tomatoes
but I had bought in $100 on 

954
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,240
Coinbase. 
This was 2017. 

955
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,560
Forgive me guys. 
Forgive me for my sins and I I 

956
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,160
can vividly remember the first 
time I took Bitcoin into 

957
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,800
custody. 
It was late at night. 

958
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,160
I didn't have the lights on so 
maybe that made it a little more

959
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,600
ominous. 
I was just like, you know, my 

960
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,600
computer watching Andres 
Antonopoulos. 

961
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,720
And there's like, you got to 
take your Bitcoin into custody. 

962
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:30,320
You can't leave your Bitcoin on 
an exchange. 

963
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,720
And I remember when I sent it, I
didn't know. 

964
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,760
I barely knew anything. 
And I made a wallet. 

965
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,600
I sent it to my wallet from the 
exchange, you know, And I my 

966
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,200
heart starts beating. 
I'm like, Oh my God, like, I'm 

967
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,640
going to lose my 100 bucks if I 
don't do this correctly. 

968
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,240
Again, there is no rewind. 
There is no telephone to call if

969
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:53,040
you mess up. 
This is why when you first learn

970
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,760
how to do this, I highly 
recommend you take this process 

971
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,880
slow again. 
You know now don't don't be 

972
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,320
drinking when you do your first 
seed backup. 

973
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,000
Like you should do this in a 
clear mind so that you can get 

974
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,280
your Bitcoin back. 
But it is a little intimidating 

975
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,960
when you first get into Bitcoin.
But after the first one, if you 

976
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,760
can send an e-mail, if you can 
remember a telephone number, 

977
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,760
then you can take custody of 
your Bitcoin. 

978
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,840
But before I get into my 
blueprint, I got to touch on the

979
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,960
Bitcoin white paper. 
It was literally the first 

980
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,360
sentence of the Bitcoin white 
paper in the abstract. 

981
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,240
It's the first sentence of the 
first paragraph of the Bitcoin 

982
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:29,000
white paper, so I got to 
highlight it. 

983
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,920
So Bitcoin A Peer-to-peer 
Electronic Cash System by 

984
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,440
Satoshi Nakamoto October 31st, 
2008 Abstract A purely 

985
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,240
peer-to-peer version of 
electronic cash would allow 

986
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:43,560
online payments to be sent 
directly, again be sent directly

987
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,640
from one party to another 
without going through a 

988
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:48,960
financial institution. 
This is what it's all about. 

989
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,840
peer-to-peer payments. 
There you become your own bank. 

990
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,120
There is no one you can go to if
you mess up. 

991
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,400
And Satoshi wrote this it 
literally the first sentence. 

992
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,040
And then in the introduction. 
Commerce on the Internet has 

993
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,280
come to rely almost exclusively 
on financial institutions 

994
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,000
serving as trusted third parties
to process electronic payments. 

995
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,200
While the system works well 
enough for most transaction, it 

996
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,960
still suffers from the inherent 
weakness of the trust based 

997
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,480
model. 
And this is what we're fixing. 

998
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,720
Yes, if you're buying your 
Bitcoin on an exchange, you are 

999
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:21,920
trusting that you are the first 
and foremost buying actual 

1000
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,000
Bitcoin from them, and then if 
you leave it there, you're 

1001
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
trusting that they're going to 
hold your Bitcoin. 

1002
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,200
But one lesson that all of us 
Bitcoiners have learned 

1003
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,080
throughout this whole process is
you cannot leave your Bitcoin on

1004
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,680
an exchange. 
You do not want to leave your 

1005
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,440
Bitcoin on an exchange. 
If you do it, just know there's 

1006
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,480
a possibility of you never 
actually taking that Bitcoin 

1007
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,400
into custody. 
So This is why we tell you guys 

1008
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,200
all the time. 
The most important aspect 

1009
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,200
besides getting off 0 is taking 
Bitcoin into custody. 

1010
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,360
And then we don't need you guys 
to yell at me about the fact 

1011
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,360
that high net worth individuals 
don't want to take their assets 

1012
00:51:58,360 --> 00:51:59,560
in the custody. 
I get it, I get it. 

1013
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,640
But for the average person out 
there, for the person that wants

1014
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,000
to take Bitcoin into custody, 
yes, your first transaction 

1015
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,600
might be intimidating. 
But after a couple it becomes 

1016
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,360
second nature. 
And it's it's easy. 

1017
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,200
Easier than sending Zelle. 
Like, have you guys walked into 

1018
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,520
a bank recently? 
Have you guys tried to open a 

1019
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:16,600
bank account? 
Yes. 

1020
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,600
It was terrible. 
It's. 

1021
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:22,760
Absolutely horrible. 
It's it's way harder than taking

1022
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,880
Bitcoin into custody. 
You literally all you have to do

1023
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,520
is download a wallet on your 
phone and you take Bitcoin into 

1024
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,520
custody. 
But anyways, let's get into the 

1025
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,360
nitty gritty here. 
Let's get into some of the best 

1026
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,360
practices. 
The framework that I use when I 

1027
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,160
download a new wallet and I send
Bitcoin to it, I would say that 

1028
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,360
some of these processes are a 
must. 

1029
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,880
You have to do this because you 
want to make sure that you do 

1030
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,200
this process correctly. 
Take your time on this process, 

1031
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,440
do not rush through this after a
while. 

1032
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,160
If you're pro then you know you 
you can adjust this all you 

1033
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,920
want. 
But if you're a noob, I would 

1034
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,640
highly suggest that you take 
take like a a Saturday 

1035
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,360
afternoon, you know take take a 
couple of hours and do this 

1036
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,680
process correctly. 
And again, this is a 

1037
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,560
progression. 
I as much as I'm a maxi bit 

1038
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:15,960
corner and I, you know, I I try 
to get people to zero to 60 and 

1039
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:19,120
as fast as possible. 
I've learned that it's a process

1040
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,840
guys don't don't go too hard on 
people about, oh you need to do 

1041
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,360
it this way or else you're not a
real big corner bro. 

1042
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,280
Like yeah, I get it. 
I think this is a process where 

1043
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,280
you go from, you know, not 
holding custody of any of your 

1044
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,920
money to finally being 
completely sovereign and holding

1045
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,320
all of your Bitcoin yourself, 
running a node, all that good 

1046
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,040
stuff. 
But I'm gonna just touch on the 

1047
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,600
self custody aspect. 
And again, this is a 

1048
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,280
progression. 
So first and foremost, as I like

1049
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,240
to always say, and you guys 
could correct me all you want, 

1050
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,720
but usually I think the best way
for people to get their Bitcoin 

1051
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:56,800
into custody is by simply 
downloading a mobile wallet on 

1052
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,360
their phone. 
You know, we all have 

1053
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,520
smartphones and it's very simple
to just download a mobile 

1054
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,880
wallet. 
But hey, maybe you want to 

1055
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,480
download a desktop, a desktop 
wallet, Maybe you want to do 

1056
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,480
that on on your laptop. 
Again, there's a lot of caveats 

1057
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:12,560
here. 
There's a lot of trade-offs. 

1058
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,640
I'd highly recommend if you do 
download a desktop wallet that 

1059
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,120
you probably don't use your 
daily driver. 

1060
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,160
Like don't use the laptop you 
use to watch all those naughty 

1061
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,200
websites that you're watching 
because people can hack your 

1062
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,040
computer. 
So usually I like to think of 

1063
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,720
this as a progression. 
It's mobile wallets to a desktop

1064
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,360
wallet to a hardware wallet and 
then you can connect your 

1065
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,200
desktop wallet with your 
hardware wallet and go multi sig

1066
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,040
or passwords. 
Again, I'm not trying to confuse

1067
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,920
you here. 
Usually just download a mobile 

1068
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,480
wallet on your phone and then 
most wallets before you're able.

1069
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,720
Even to send a transaction 
receiver transaction, you're 

1070
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:50,800
going to have to write down your
seat on paper. 

1071
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:53,840
And again, guys, make sure this 
never hits the Internet. 

1072
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:58,200
So do not screenshot your seed. 
Do not let your seed phrase go 

1073
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,480
to the cloud. 
Avoid cameras. 

1074
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,360
Avoid saying them out loud 
because you never know who's 

1075
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,880
listening. 
Keep it private, guys. 

1076
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,480
And of course, you know, 
eventually get your seed phrase 

1077
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,120
off a piece of paper and on 
something like titanium, like 

1078
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,000
you know, stamp seed. 
But I don't want to complicate 

1079
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,520
this, but just remember he who 
knows the seed controls the 

1080
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,800
Bitcoin. 
In Bitcoin, possession is 10 

1081
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,960
tenths of the law. 
So if they know your seed, they 

1082
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,400
can send your Bitcoin. 
And we've seen so many people 

1083
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,640
get wrecked throughout the 15 
years of Bitcoin that the best 

1084
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,520
practices are get a piece of 
paper, write it down, make sure 

1085
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,040
it's in pen, make sure that if 
you're get some. 

1086
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,480
Paper. 
Get some stamps. 

1087
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,640
Yes, I know, I know. 
But I'm trying to minimize the 

1088
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,040
obstacles that people have to 
get to self custody. 

1089
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,080
So usually first step, you know,
download a mobile wallet, write 

1090
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,480
it down on a piece of paper. 
Final the final steps is get 

1091
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,600
yourself a hardware wallet, a 
stamp seed. 

1092
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,360
So if your house does burn down,
your seed phrase is still there.

1093
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,040
And as you can see first is 
paper seed and then it's 

1094
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,160
titanium seed and that's what 
you need to do. 

1095
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,240
You want to make sure that your 
backups are correctly, write 

1096
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:12,480
down your seed phrase, make sure
if you want to you can memorize 

1097
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,920
them, but you need to download a
wallet. 

1098
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,720
Mobile wallets are a good place 
to start. 

1099
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:19,240
Eventually you want to get to a 
hardware wallet so you are the 

1100
00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:21,840
most secure. 
It depends on how paranoid you 

1101
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,800
are. 
I'm super paranoid, but a good 

1102
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:28,200
advice here is whatever amount 
of money you put into Bitcoin 

1103
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:33,280
today, 10X AT, and that should 
be your judge for how paranoid 

1104
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,200
you should be about custodying 
your Bitcoin. 

1105
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,000
So you know if you're 
downloading 100 bucks you bought

1106
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,640
100 bucks, you're putting it to 
your wallet. 

1107
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,960
Maybe if that's all you got. 
A mobile wallet is fine. 

1108
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,000
I've, I've done, I've done 
worse. 

1109
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,560
Where I I've kept, I've kept an 
inordinate amount of Bitcoin in 

1110
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,440
a mobile wallet but finally you 
end up going to a hardware 

1111
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,960
wallet. 
So once you have your seed 

1112
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,680
phrase written down, either on a
piece of paper stamped into 

1113
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:03,000
titanium, I think this might be 
the most important step that 

1114
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,040
most people miss. 
Do a test transaction from your 

1115
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,400
exchange. 
Send a small amount of Bitcoin, 

1116
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,400
You know 10-10 dollars, $5 what,
Whatever is small to you, 

1117
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,040
whatever portion of your actual 
holdings that you have in. 

1118
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,720
On exchange, send a test 
transaction to your wallet and 

1119
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,520
once you receive it, what you 
want to do is make sure your 

1120
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,280
seed phrase is backed up. 
Wipe your wallet and you're like

1121
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,880
wait, why would I wipe my 
wallet? 

1122
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,560
Because then I lost my Bitcoin. 
Well now your your Bitcoin 

1123
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,640
doesn't actually live in in your
wallet, it's just your keys to 

1124
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,880
get into the wallet. 
So what you want to do is do a a

1125
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:43,400
small test transaction, wipe the
wallet, and then reload that 

1126
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,280
that seed phrase into your 
wallet so you can retrieve your 

1127
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,320
funds. 
And what this ensures is that if

1128
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,000
for whatever reason you're you 
lose the wallet on your phone or

1129
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,240
your hardware wallet gets 
corrupted or whatever, you have 

1130
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,640
the seed phrase. 
And remember to write down your 

1131
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,320
password if you're going that 
route so that you can get back 

1132
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:04,760
into your wallet. 
And if you do this on multiple 

1133
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,560
wallet infrastructure, like if 
you do this on blue wallet and 

1134
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,560
green wallet or something like 
that, and you finally get back 

1135
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,000
into your Bitcoin, that's 
usually when the light bulb 

1136
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,040
moment comes up and you're like,
Oh my God, like my Bitcoin 

1137
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,440
doesn't actually live in my 
wallet. 

1138
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,080
I just have access to that 
Bitcoin. 

1139
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,640
And once you retrieve your funds
again, you write down your seed 

1140
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,480
phrase, do a test transaction, 
wipe the wallet, retrieve those 

1141
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,920
funds, and once you get back 
into that wallet, then either 

1142
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,040
you can, you know, send that out
to a new wallet, or just send 

1143
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,960
all of your Bitcoin to that 
wallet. 

1144
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,360
And every time you create a new 
wallet, I would highly suggest 

1145
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,920
that you do that same process. 
Write down your seed phrase, 

1146
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,080
send a test transaction, wipe 
the wallet so that you can 

1147
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,920
further retrieve that wallet, 
retrieve those funds, retrieve 

1148
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,080
access to those UT X OS and then
finally send all your Bitcoin. 

1149
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,560
And if you do that process, then
you can start to relieve in your

1150
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:03,240
own mind that OK, I know my 
backups are secure, I know I can

1151
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,200
access this Bitcoin if if 
everything goes wrong. 

1152
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,280
And then you can finally send 
your whole chunk to a Bitcoin 

1153
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,320
wallet of your choice. 
Now I do have some wallets here 

1154
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,160
because you know people love to 
give options and and before I go

1155
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,320
into all the options guys, I 
don't want to give you, you know

1156
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,560
the paralysis of analysis. 
I'm giving you a bunch of 

1157
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:29,680
options that I've tried, that I 
love, that I use constantly and 

1158
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,480
there are a lot of options out 
there. 

1159
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,720
So if I right now don't say the 
wallet, that doesn't necessarily

1160
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,400
mean it's a bad wallet. 
It just means I haven't actually

1161
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,680
used it and maybe you know the 
the meme of if it had shit coins

1162
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,720
on it then probably avoid it at 
all costs. 

1163
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:49,360
So so these are all Bitcoin only
wallets and I have I haven't 

1164
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,200
broken down in on all different 
categories. 

1165
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:56,240
So on your mobile phone I 
absolutely love blue wallet it's

1166
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,520
an on chain wallet they they you
know they sunsetted their 

1167
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,000
lightning wallet but the first 
mobile wallets are simply on 

1168
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,920
chain. 
So I would highly recommend this

1169
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:10,680
for, you know like bigger chunks
Bitcoin connect that to. 

1170
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,080
Your your phone. 
So on chain wallets we got blue 

1171
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,800
wallet. 
We have envoy wallet which is 

1172
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,080
our sponsor. 
Passport of our foundation with 

1173
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,120
passport is beautiful. 
And then green wallet and the 

1174
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,000
new one that I've been trying 
out bit kit. 

1175
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,480
I I really love it. 
I haven't really used it too 

1176
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,120
much, but on chain wallets, Blue
wallet, Envoy, green wallet, bit

1177
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,840
kit, and then lightning wallets,
my boys over at Mutiny are 

1178
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,680
creating an awesome wallet. 
Phoenix is kind of becoming my 

1179
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,440
new daily Lightning driver. 
There's Zeus shouts out to the 

1180
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,760
boys over at Zeus. 
You can connect your own node to

1181
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,720
it and then these three Mutiny, 
Phoenix and Zeus, they're all 

1182
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,760
non custodial lightning wallets.
And then there's Breeze. 

1183
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,280
Breeze is it's kind of a runner 
up. 

1184
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,840
They they were doing really good
things for a while Now I I kind 

1185
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,400
of I kind of always show Phoenix
or mutiny to me. 

1186
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,040
Mutiny in Phoenix I I think is 
where wallets are going. 

1187
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,600
If you're out of the US then you
know hey you got some throw 

1188
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,720
tomatoes but Wallace Satoshi is 
great it just worked. 

1189
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,360
Sorry guys. 
It it just works. 

1190
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,960
And that's what most people want
is just a wallet that works. 

1191
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,320
So and then the recent one is 
Primal. 

1192
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,880
Yes, it's connected to Noster. 
Yes, it's a social media app, 

1193
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,320
but they have a pretty good 
Lightning wallet in it guys. 

1194
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,320
So if you want to kind of go 
that route and dip your toes in 

1195
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,840
the Noster, then you can have a 
Lightning wallet connected to 

1196
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,480
it. 
So again, on your mobile phone, 

1197
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,720
I highly recommend Blue Wallet. 
That's probably been my daily 

1198
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,320
driver on my phone for like 2 to
three years now. 

1199
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,080
I love Blue Wallet. 
I really am starting to love 

1200
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,400
Envoy, especially when you 
connect it with Passport. 

1201
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,160
It's just it's so easy. 
I I absolutely love it. 

1202
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,320
Green Wallet's been around for a
long time. 

1203
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,760
I have a lot of friends using 
Green Wallet and then Mutiny in 

1204
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,720
Phoenix. 
Those are the wallets I'm using 

1205
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,400
right now. 
Blue Wallet, Envoy Mutiny in 

1206
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,840
Phoenix. 
And I do use Green Wallet every 

1207
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,360
once in a while. 
So those are the mobile wallets.

1208
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,280
Guys. 
Usually first step is like, I 

1209
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,440
all right, Full disclosure, 
usually first step. 

1210
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,400
I'd just be like all right bro 
just download Blue Wallet send 

1211
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,120
your Bitcoin there. 
I I run them through the 

1212
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:02,200
process. 
Blue wallet works. 

1213
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,440
I love Blue wallet. 
It's it's it's become my my 

1214
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,840
wallet of choice on my phone. 
I I use it to this day. 

1215
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:10,440
I use it basically every single 
day. 

1216
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,760
And then on desktop again 
there's a lot of different 

1217
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,200
wallets but I absolutely love 
Sparrow. 

1218
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:17,480
I'm kind of a Sparrow. 
Maxi. 

1219
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,600
I think Sparrow is is the best 
desktop wallet right now and if 

1220
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,360
you haven't used it I highly 
recommend you use it. 

1221
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:28,880
It'll download Bitcoin core. 
It has a lot of functionality on

1222
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,680
top with Sparrow. 
There's a it's it's an advanced 

1223
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:35,640
wallet guys. 
So if you're a new maybe you 

1224
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,560
want to dip your toes in Sparrow
because there's a lot of 

1225
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,440
functionality with Sparrow. 
But I I absolutely love Sparrow.

1226
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,600
I'm a Sparrow maxi. 
And then there's Spectre. 

1227
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,240
Spectre's a great wallet as 
well. 

1228
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:45,960
But again I'm just I love 
Sparrow. 

1229
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,040
I'm I'm just a Sparrow maxi. 
I think it's the best. 

1230
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,960
I think that's like the pinnacle
of desktop wallets and Nico's an

1231
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:52,920
Electrum junkie. 
You know when you've been around

1232
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,840
for a while you don't really 
want to change things. 

1233
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,920
You use Electrum Electrums on a 
lot of these pug plug and play 

1234
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,920
notes. 
So again just cuz I'm not naming

1235
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,520
them doesn't mean that they're 
not used. 

1236
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,080
Look let me actually add Bitcoin
core. 

1237
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,160
You should download Bitcoin Core
at least once guys, if you 

1238
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,960
really wanna be a hardcore 
bitcoiner. 

1239
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,320
If you really want to go through
the initiation process of being 

1240
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,600
a bitcoiner, just download 
Bitcoin Core. 

1241
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,880
See what this is about. 
They're they're continuing to 

1242
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,680
update. 
See what the initial software is

1243
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,480
that started this whole thing. 
It's Bitcoin Core. 

1244
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,480
Those are the desktop wallets 
that I highly recommend. 

1245
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,480
Again, I'm kind of a Sparrow 
Maxi which is basically Bitcoin 

1246
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,280
Core with Sparrow and some other
usability added on top of it. 

1247
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,800
So if you want to go the desktop
route again, I highly recommend 

1248
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,880
that you don't just use your 
daily driver. 

1249
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,480
My boy Skeef, he's always like 
just buy a ThinkPad. 

1250
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,640
It's you know, super cheap and 
you'll have a great hardware 

1251
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,040
wallet with Sparrow and Bitcoin 
Core. 

1252
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,000
But again, this is progression 
guys. 

1253
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,680
So first and foremost I'd say 
get a mobile wallet. 

1254
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:01,560
But I do have my hardware 
wallets here guys. 

1255
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,040
Of course, Passport. 
We absolutely love Passport. 

1256
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,880
It's so easy. 
It's beautiful. 

1257
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:11,920
It I'm dude, I'm I'm becoming a 
huge Passport fan and it's not 

1258
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,160
just because they're our sponsor
just because I've used it and 

1259
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,200
it's so easy. 
I did a setup the other day 

1260
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,760
before I went to El Salvador. 
Like I said I had. 

1261
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,800
So I had way too much Bitcoin on
my phone and I I felt a little 

1262
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,280
iffy going to El Salvador with 
that much Bitcoin on my phone. 

1263
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,960
So I set up a new wallet with 
Passport and and Envoy and it's 

1264
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,400
so easy and I know someone 
yesterday was saying they had 

1265
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:36,800
some issues I I didn't get those
issues I I it's so easy to me 

1266
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:41,760
spare or passport and envoy is 
it's so it's it's it's OPTI 

1267
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,200
proof. 
It's stupid proof here but one 

1268
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,800
of my other honorary mentioned 
is seed signer. 

1269
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,920
I love the seed signer project. 
They're super cool. 

1270
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,360
These are great off the shelf. 
You know I have a 3D printed 

1271
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,360
case for them. 
You build it yourself if you 

1272
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,640
want to feel a little more 
technical. 

1273
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,640
If you want to do a little DIY 
project with your family your 

1274
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,600
kids or maybe just with your 
friends you build yourself a 

1275
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,840
seed signer. 
They're absolutely cool. 

1276
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,640
I I really love seed signer. 
They're really the unsung heroes

1277
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,880
I think in the in the Bitcoin 
process and again there's 

1278
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,000
trade-offs to all of this and 
then of course probably the 

1279
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,240
standard right now the Bitcoin 
Maxi's favorite wallet is the 

1280
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,000
cold card. 
I don't have the queue yet but 

1281
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,720
cold card. 
You know I I love the this is 

1282
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:26,960
the MK4 I think or maybe this is
the three now actually this is 

1283
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:27,800
the old one. 
This is a mark. 

1284
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:28,960
Two. 
Wow old school. 

1285
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:33,160
I have the three I think and 
somewhere locked up and you guys

1286
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,080
can also do Jade. 
Jade's great for the price 

1287
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,360
point. 
Literally for the price point. 

1288
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,880
I think these are $50. 
Still, this one's great. 

1289
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,360
And of course I got the awesome 
translucent green one, which is 

1290
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,440
probably invisible right now for
you guys. 

1291
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,920
But here, let me let me let me 
show you guys a little more. 

1292
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:50,400
What's going on here? 
Is it? 

1293
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,480
Yeah, it's invisible. 
OK, this is actually Nintendo 

1294
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,000
green. 
I love the the jade you hook it 

1295
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,840
up with green. 
I've been using that for a while

1296
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,880
to move some funds around. 
I absolutely still use this to 

1297
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,600
this day. 
And as you guys can see, I was 

1298
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,520
you know I was small screen. 
You can use all of these 

1299
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,360
together if you want to. 
If you don't trust any single 

1300
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,720
company you can use these all 
together and get yourself a 

1301
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,640
multi sig set up or really you 
know again I'm trying to 

1302
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:22,200
minimize the hoops that you have
to jump through but maybe just 

1303
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,280
buy them all buy them all use 
them see which ones you like the

1304
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,040
most. 
And I do have an honorable 

1305
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,320
mention here and I haven't used 
this yet guys but I I'm starting

1306
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,560
I I think I'm going to buy one 
as soon as possible. 

1307
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,520
Is the bit key by Jack Dorsey 
I've I've been hearing really 

1308
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,000
good things about him. 
I haven't actually used it 

1309
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,320
myself, but the user flow, the 
user experience I hear is is 

1310
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,200
absolutely incredible. 
So I think I'm going to buy a 

1311
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,960
bit key soon and and I'll let 
let you guys know what I think 

1312
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,400
about it and all these other 
ones. 

1313
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,640
Everything I named here besides 
the bit key I've used I still 

1314
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,280
use to this day. 
I highly recommend these, but 

1315
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,280
again, try them yourself. 
Maybe you like one feature over 

1316
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,200
another. 
Maybe you would like 1 workflow 

1317
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:06,080
user experience over another. 
But these are the wallets that I

1318
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:07,720
recommend. 
These are the wallets that I 

1319
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,280
usually recommend. 
The friends right now, if I had 

1320
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:15,680
to give you like my my dwindled 
checklist is it's Blue wallet 

1321
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,240
mutiny in Phoenix Sparrow and of
course Passport. 

1322
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Just 'cause it's so easy, man. 
Like, not everyone's a 

1323
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,160
cyberpunk. 
And these things are these are 

1324
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:27,000
opti proof, so, but also they're
all in different price points. 

1325
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:34,000
So if you are trying to minimize
the the the obstacles to buy 

1326
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,320
yourself a hardware wallet and 
then you know seed, Shiner and 

1327
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,760
jader are at the cheapest price 
point, highly secured, open 

1328
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,040
source. 
Or if you really want to get 

1329
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,360
cypherpunk, a cold card, or if 
you want to be cyberpunk but 

1330
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:50,000
also have just the cool user 
experience, Passport with Envoy 

1331
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,280
is absolutely beautiful. 
I'm highly recommending the 

1332
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,440
Passport with Envoy. 
And again, that's not just 

1333
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,160
'cause they pay us in their 
sponsor. 

1334
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:57,760
It's just 'cause it works so 
easy. 

1335
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,640
I literally was sitting there 
and I texted Niko. 

1336
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,760
I was like bro, the passport 
with the envoy is so, so easy. 

1337
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,600
Like I absolutely love it and 
man, so there is a lot of 

1338
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,760
options, but just download blue 
wallet on your phone, if there's

1339
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:14,080
first steps, back it up, do a 
test transaction, get back into 

1340
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,240
that wallet and then move 
towards getting yourself a 

1341
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,000
hardware wallet. 
The reason you want to have a 

1342
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,399
hardware wallet is so that these
are completely air gap, that 

1343
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:25,319
they never touch the Internet so
that there is never a chance of 

1344
01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:28,080
you losing your Bitcoin. 
This is why you want a hardware 

1345
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:30,200
wallet. 
This is why you want to invest 

1346
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,920
100 or $200 to get yourself a 
hardware wallet is so that you 

1347
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,920
can sleep well knowing that your
Bitcoin isn't ever going to be 

1348
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,760
hacked. 
Because throughout the time 

1349
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,560
history of Bitcoin there's been 
so many hacks in Bitcoin is 

1350
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,680
because people have complicate 
this and that's the next PSA 

1351
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,720
guys. 
Do not over complicate this if 

1352
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,160
you're not a tech savvy dude. 
If you're just an average person

1353
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,800
maybe think about not going to a
multi 6 setup. 

1354
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,160
If you think you're going to 
mess up, you know a password. 

1355
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,399
I think is pretty simple for 
most people. 

1356
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,200
But you're going to have to make
these decisions for yourself. 

1357
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,200
So I can give you the options, 
and you're going to have to try 

1358
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,520
them yourself. 
But before you do any of that, 

1359
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,040
do not send all of your Don't. 
Don't just like create a 

1360
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,600
passport, you know with envoy 
and then send all of your 

1361
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,160
Bitcoin and then realize that 
you messed up your seed phrase. 

1362
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:19,520
You need to do some 
transactions. 

1363
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,200
I think it's super easy. 
And then on the last note shouts

1364
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,680
out to our boy BTC sessions. 
If you are getting lost guys, go

1365
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,800
to sessions, YouTube and he'll 
walk you through this. 

1366
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,160
If if you think it's getting 
difficult, if you're 

1367
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,520
intimidated, they'll walk you 
through it. 

1368
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,640
But really guys, if you can 
remember a number, if you sent 

1369
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,720
an e-mail, you can take your 
Bitcoin into self custody. 

1370
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,080
So the first one might be 
intimidating, you might get a 

1371
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,000
little scared, but trust me, 
it'll become second nature. 

1372
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,479
I think sending Bitcoin and 
using Bitcoin is easier than 

1373
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,000
sending money through a bank. 
I I am a bitcoiner through and 

1374
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,520
through. 
There's no way I'm going back 

1375
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,480
into the legacy Fiat system. 
I'm a bitcoiner and it's just 

1376
01:10:01,480 --> 01:10:04,000
it's so simple It it's part of 
my life now. 

1377
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,280
I save in Bitcoin, I use 
Bitcoin. 

1378
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,640
I'm on the Bitcoin standard. 
You know I huddle my Bitcoin, 

1379
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,240
but also I send Bitcoin a lot to
friends, to people that I that 

1380
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,840
that I want to see succeed. 
So if you want some hardware 

1381
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,400
wallets, you already know the 
deal. 

1382
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,640
These are the ones I love. 
I think these are all the the 

1383
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,480
industry standards right now. 
I'm I'm yet to get a bit key but

1384
01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:28,560
I'm going to get one just 
because they look really cool. 

1385
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,240
Anyways. 
I've realized I've been ranting 

1386
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,280
a lot about this but this is 
important. 

1387
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,280
People want to know the self 
custody route. 

1388
01:10:35,440 --> 01:10:37,440
They need to self custody their 
Bitcoin. 

1389
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,240
But on that note I know Sophie's
a passport maxi at this point. 

1390
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,800
She she wants a bedazzled pink 
one at this point. 

1391
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,680
But I don't know, Maybe tell the
story of yourself, custody, 

1392
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,480
journey self and then and then 
why you love passports so much. 

1393
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:51,200
And it's not just because 
they're a sponsor. 

1394
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,960
Sorry, I was muted. 
It's not just because they're 

1395
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,680
our sponsor. 
Actually, way before they 

1396
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,560
sponsored us, I was in love with
Passport Wallet. 

1397
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,000
So and it's because I think it 
looks like a phone. 

1398
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,280
It just like it has a camera. 
It's so easy to use. 

1399
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,360
So I I definitely do want a 
bedazzled one. 

1400
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,720
I want a pink one at the very 
least or one that's like all 

1401
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:21,600
white or something but myself. 
Custody journey myself custody 

1402
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,800
journey is that Nico sat me down
one day and taught me how to 

1403
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:30,280
self custody Bitcoin and 
actually it goes deeper than 

1404
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:31,960
that. 
This, this is actually the story

1405
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:36,920
of how I learned how to have 
self custody on a cold card. 

1406
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,800
We were at Pacific Bitcoin and 
it was like the day after the 

1407
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,760
the conference and I thought it 
was all over, he said. 

1408
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,720
We just have one more event, 
it's a workshop, mind you. 

1409
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,720
All of the events around the 
Pacific Bitcoin Conference at 

1410
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,720
this point were like parties and
dinners and whatever. 

1411
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:59,280
And so I was like sweet. 
I was at one of the events 

1412
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,920
before the workshop and it was 
BTC Sessions workshop. 

1413
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,520
I hadn't met him at this point 
and and I didn't know about his 

1414
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,280
content. 
I just, you know, I was kind of 

1415
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,440
there for the ride. 
So we were at this event. 

1416
01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:17,760
I was like 2-3 glasses of wine 
in and then Nico's like, we 

1417
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,880
gotta go to this workshop. 
I'm like, sweet. 

1418
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,000
I'm thinking it's like a brunch 
or something. 

1419
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,520
I don't know. 
What a workshop. 

1420
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,920
Is. 
And so we get to this small 

1421
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:32,760
little, like office Co working 
space and I'm like, OK, like 

1422
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:37,400
interesting place to, you know, 
have an after the conference 

1423
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,520
event. 
And I I go into the room and 

1424
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:47,040
it's all like this fluorescent 
lighting, typical classroom 

1425
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,800
setting type of thing. 
And everybody is on their 

1426
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,800
computers and I'm just there. 
Like what did you just bring me 

1427
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,640
to? 
Like we just went from like a 

1428
01:12:55,640 --> 01:13:01,760
Malibu beach house brunch to 
this like what's about to like 

1429
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,560
go down right now. 
Also I'm like a little bit drunk

1430
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:11,200
like what's happening and so and
so we sat there and we learned 

1431
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:16,000
how to use a cold card and 
surprisingly to this day, Ben, 

1432
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,680
is this good? 
I still know how to use a cold 

1433
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,560
card today and I actually 
understood what was happening 

1434
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:28,280
and how it actually works to 
send Bitcoin and have it in self

1435
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:32,960
custody, what it means to sign 
the transaction, how multi sig 

1436
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,200
works. 
It was very interesting and I'll

1437
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:41,880
never forget it because I was 
taken out of a Malibu beach 

1438
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:47,480
house brunch to a workshop to 
learn how to use the cold card. 

1439
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:49,760
Wow, Nico. 
Such a big corner. 

1440
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,680
Such a big corner. 
Such a like, it's really great 

1441
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:56,080
that, like, he didn't tell me 
what we were about to do because

1442
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,880
I would have just been like go. 
By yourself. 

1443
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,800
Like like like babe, we got a 
cool date here. 

1444
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,120
Create a Gold card. 
Yeah. 

1445
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,000
No, I thought it was gonna be I 
I thought at least there would 

1446
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,520
be like, drinks or something. 
I'd be OK. 

1447
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:08,600
Let's go. 
No. 

1448
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:12,480
OK, actually before we move on 
though a little bit, there is 

1449
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:15,120
some good comments here in the 
chat that that I do want to hit 

1450
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:16,920
on. 
So OPTI where so back fields 

1451
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,160
goes. 
Don't forget to flood electrons 

1452
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,000
a little bit. 
There's many fake versions of OS

1453
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,840
Electron out there. 
I learned about this the other 

1454
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:26,880
day. 
You have to verify your. 

1455
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,200
Software. 
Yeah, and that's the next point 

1456
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,840
he hit. 
And also tell them how to verify

1457
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,720
PGP key pairs too. 
It's slightly hard, but gives 

1458
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,800
that extra safe feeling. 
So yeah, I'm I'm so glad you 

1459
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,520
brought this up because I did 
forget to imagine this if you 

1460
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:45,520
are downloading Bitcoin Core or 
Sparrow or Spectre or you know, 

1461
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:51,160
if you're using Wasabi wallet. 
Still you want to verify with 

1462
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,320
PGP that you're actually 
downloading the the right 

1463
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,000
software. 
And I'm I'm, I'm, I'm not going 

1464
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,800
to butcher it here but this is a
very crucial step And every 

1465
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,680
software that is a desktop on 
their website, they'll show you 

1466
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:07,920
the process here. 
So I I'm not going to butcher it

1467
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,160
but just make sure that you 
actually do this. 

1468
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,160
You can go to Bitcoin Core 
though they'll walk you through 

1469
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,440
the whole process. 
You will have to use a little 

1470
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:17,000
command line, but it's really 
not that difficult guys. 

1471
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:18,960
Again, it seems a lot harder 
than it is. 

1472
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,800
If I can do it, you can do it. 
I'm not the most tech savvy guy,

1473
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:26,240
but if you really want to take 
yourself custody seriously, then

1474
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:27,520
these are the steps you have to 
do. 

1475
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,720
This is why I told you to, you 
know, take a Saturday or Sunday 

1476
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,080
when you have some time. 
You can sit down here, do this 

1477
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:37,720
in steps, you know, read all the
all the the information before 

1478
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,640
you do it. 
So you kind of have a rough idea

1479
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,480
of what you're going to do and 
then do it all in in little 

1480
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:43,640
parts. 
You know you'll write, you'll 

1481
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:49,080
download the wallet, verify the 
PGP keys, make sure you are 

1482
01:15:49,440 --> 01:15:54,480
writing the seed phrase down, 
You know, wipe the wallet, do a 

1483
01:15:54,480 --> 01:15:56,120
test transaction, all that 
stuff. 

1484
01:15:56,440 --> 01:16:00,760
It will be a little process, but
highly recommend you do these 

1485
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,920
processes because I have had 
friends that just kind of like 

1486
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,960
Oh no, I know this is a good 
wallet and then they they got 

1487
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,800
rug pulled. 
So you need to do this, 

1488
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,160
especially if you're downloading
a desktop wallet on your 

1489
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,440
computer because there 
everyone's a scammer. 

1490
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:16,360
There are people out there that 
want to wreck you. 

1491
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,840
So that's why I'm telling you 
take this process slow, you 

1492
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,240
know, don't do it when you've 
had a little smoke or a little 

1493
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,480
drink. 
Like make sure that you're clear

1494
01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:27,440
headed, that you don't 
overcomplicate this, that 

1495
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:30,000
everything is is organized and 
in order. 

1496
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,160
Because if you lose the keys to 
your Bitcoin, you lose your 

1497
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,760
Bitcoin. 
He who owns the seed controls 

1498
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,760
the Bitcoin. 
So thank you for that Opti 

1499
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:38,760
fields. 
We're so back. 

1500
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:44,760
And then also one more this 
isn't just for this is about 

1501
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:50,000
every telegram group guys. 
Never ever, ever put your seed 

1502
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,800
phrase into a website. 
Never ever send your seed phrase

1503
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,400
to quote, UN quote support and 
telegram groups. 

1504
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,760
They're scammers. 
If anyone DMS you privately in a

1505
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:06,360
Telegram group Just off rip, 
think that they are a scammer. 

1506
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,680
Usually the Telegram group 
supports will do everything 

1507
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,560
publicly and no one will ever 
ask you to send your seed 

1508
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,840
phrase. 
But there are people out there 

1509
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,120
that want to scam you guys, so 
just stay vigilant. 

1510
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,720
This is why we're telling you to
verify the PGP keys. 

1511
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,680
This is why we're telling you to
eventually take your Bitcoin 

1512
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,080
into hardware wallets and cold 
storage and remember the 

1513
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:27,960
difference between cold storage 
and hot wallets. 

1514
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,920
If you're downloading a 
Lightning wallet on your phone, 

1515
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,480
if you're just downloading a 
mobile wallet, it's a hot wallet

1516
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,240
and that means it's connected 
into the Internet. 

1517
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,920
So eventually you want to get 
your huddle stack into cold 

1518
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,800
storage so that you know it's 
safe, that you know it's going 

1519
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,600
to be there for the long, the 
long run. 

1520
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:48,240
And yeah, I I think hopefully, 
guys, what FP, if you're 

1521
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:52,520
listening, respond in the chat 
again if you need to clear 

1522
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,520
anything up. 
But hopefully I gave you guys a 

1523
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,760
good rundown of this because 
it's very it's it's really, 

1524
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,880
really simple. 
It's not that hard, guys. 

1525
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:07,080
But like the first steps and the
initial process, it, it is a 

1526
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,040
little scary. 
I'm not going to lie, like in 

1527
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,800
most people probably, maybe they
don't think about it. 

1528
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:12,800
They're just like, yeah, 
whatever. 

1529
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,840
Like I have money on whatever 
exchange and I download a wallet

1530
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,080
and I send it to and I don't 
even write down the seed phrase.

1531
01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:21,120
I'll tell you, I'm guilty of 
that as well sometimes because 

1532
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,680
I'm so used to it, I I trust 
these processes. 

1533
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,240
But that's because I've been 
doing it for eight years now. 

1534
01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:31,840
So for you, if you're new, take 
it slow, take these processes. 

1535
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,360
Maybe it'll take you all weekend
to do it correctly, but if you 

1536
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,320
do it correctly the first time, 
then at least you have some 

1537
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,280
Peace of Mind that your bitcoins
going to be there. 

1538
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:43,160
But guys, it's really simple. 
Don't leave your Bitcoin on an 

1539
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,960
exchange. 
Get whatever flavor of a Bitcoin

1540
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,120
wallet you want, whether that's 
mobile, all the way to a 

1541
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:52,440
hardware wallet. 
Write down your seed phrase, do 

1542
01:18:52,440 --> 01:18:55,200
a test transaction, wipe the 
wallet, retrieve the funds, and 

1543
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,560
then send all of your Bitcoin. 
It's really not as complicated 

1544
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:00,760
as you make it out to be. 
If you're making phone calls, if

1545
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,400
you can remember a phone number.
If you remember you know the ABC

1546
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,400
song, then you will be able to 
remember your seed phrase. 

1547
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,720
Write it down, But again, don't 
let your seed phrase hit the 

1548
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:12,600
cloud. 
Don't take pictures of your seed

1549
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,040
phrase. 
Don't. 

1550
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,360
Your seed phrase should never 
enter the digital space. 

1551
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,840
Yes, exactly. 
Like, literally, guys, I know, I

1552
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,280
know some of you might might be,
you know, hard at reading, so 

1553
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,200
don't read the word out loud to 
remember it, 'cause you know, 

1554
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,560
everything is listening, guys, 
So write it down on a piece of 

1555
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:34,360
paper. 
Eventually transfer that to 

1556
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,640
titanium. 
These are the best practices and

1557
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:40,200
This is why we have partnered up
with all the companies that we 

1558
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,440
have partnered up on. 
Simply Bitcoin. 

1559
01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:46,280
We have Stamp Seed which is 
going to go on sale tomorrow 

1560
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,960
guys. 
So if you're in the market for 

1561
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,440
some, buy them now and into 
tomorrow. 

1562
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,040
And This is why we love Passport
by foundation because it's Opti 

1563
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,600
proof. 
It's very simple. 

1564
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,320
This is why we love Bitcoin. 
Well is because it's self 

1565
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,600
custody by default. 
You literally need to give them 

1566
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,680
an address to get your Bitcoin. 
Everything is designed in a way 

1567
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:09,480
so that you get the best 
products and you secure your 

1568
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:10,480
Bitcoin. 
All right. 

1569
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,440
Yeah, so. 
So Soph needs to jump off. 

1570
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:17,240
So you look, I'm, I'm seeing 
people say do UTXO 

1571
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,680
consolidations At some point. 
I'll, I'll come back and I'll do

1572
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,040
all that. 
But we've been going pretty 

1573
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,240
long. 
All right. 

1574
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:25,400
So guys, again, take your 
Bitcoin into custody. 

1575
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,120
You have to do this. 
You want to interact with the 

1576
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,000
Bitcoin network itself. 
You want to be on the Bitcoin 

1577
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,600
network, run the software. 
Eventually I'll get into the 

1578
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,760
nodes and everything again for 
you guys, but I just wanted to 

1579
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,280
do a rundown of what my favorite
wallets are and what the 

1580
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:43,400
framework is. 
Anyways, guys, we love you. 

1581
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,000
Sophie, thank you for coming on 
today. 

1582
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,320
Appreciate you always with the 
signal. 

1583
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:49,600
And guys, take your Bitcoin into
custody. 

1584
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,040
Do maybe you know take a moment 
this weekend it is a having 

1585
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:57,600
We're moving into the 4th epoch.
Make sure your Bitcoin is in 

1586
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:58,400
custody. 
All right. 

1587
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,520
So appreciate it. 
You can pop off and I'll wrap 

1588
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,400
this one up. 
All right. 

1589
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:03,600
Hold on. 
I I do want to. 

1590
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,200
I think. 
I think FP is in the chat real 

1591
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:07,400
quick. 
So for. 

1592
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:09,040
Let me see. 
Let me see. 

1593
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,000
I think, Hold on. 
I'm looking for him. 

1594
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,640
I'm seeing someone tag him. 
So let me see if I can see his 

1595
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,520
comment. 
All right, let's go, he said. 

1596
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:21,880
Well, Robin Hood allowed me to 
transfer my Bitcoin to cold 

1597
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:23,960
storage. 
I believe so, but I don't use 

1598
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:25,480
Robin Hood. 
I'm pretty sure they allow 

1599
01:21:25,480 --> 01:21:31,120
withdrawals, but maybe not. 
But if they don't, someone's 

1600
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,040
fact checked me right now while 
I roll it out. 

1601
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:36,960
If they don't, don't buy it on 
Robin Hood. 

1602
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:38,840
Again. 
This is why we've partnered with

1603
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,720
Bitcoin. 
Well, This is why we partnered 

1604
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,320
with Bitcoin only exchanges. 
Because you if you aren't able 

1605
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:46,840
to take your Bitcoin into 
custody, then you are just 

1606
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,800
getting price price exposure. 
And you don't want to get price 

1607
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,200
exposure. 
You don't want to buy a bunch of

1608
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,600
Bitcoin on these apps and you 
can never take your Bitcoin into

1609
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,280
self custody. 
So I wouldn't recommend Robin 

1610
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,440
Hood, but hey, you do you. 
This is why we love Bitcoin. 

1611
01:22:02,440 --> 01:22:05,160
Well, is because they 
incentivize self custody by 

1612
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,120
default. 
You literally need to have a 

1613
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,000
Bitcoin wallet to buy Bitcoin on
their website so that the best 

1614
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,600
practices are cemented. 
All right, so BTC believer says 

1615
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,000
I have transferred off Robin 
Hood. 

1616
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,600
All right, so yes, you can take 
your Bitcoin into cold storage, 

1617
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:21,360
bro. 
So you know, maybe start with 

1618
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,560
baby steps. 
Download blue wallet, eventually

1619
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:30,120
get yourself a passport, 
eventually go to multi sig if 

1620
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,200
you feel the need again. 
Guys, what you want to think 

1621
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,800
about now? 
Yes, maybe the Bitcoin you own 

1622
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,200
right now is only worth, you 
know, a couple 100, maybe $1000 

1623
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,920
or whatever, but 10X whatever 
Your holdings are in Bitcoin and

1624
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:45,120
that should be way you're 
thinking on your security setup.

1625
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,400
But don't get don't 
overcomplicate it guys. 

1626
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:49,920
Keep it simple. 
Anyways, we love you guys. 

1627
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,040
We'll see you tomorrow. 
I will be back tomorrow. 

1628
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,760
Nico's in Nashville, and I'm 
gonna have a I'm on a fire show 

1629
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,680
with Adam from Bitcoin. 
Well, tomorrow. 

1630
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,120
So on that note, boys and girls,
we love you. 

1631
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,960
Like, subscribe, share, spread 
all the Bitcoin signal. 

1632
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,560
This is how we win is by showing
people the Bitcoin revolution 

1633
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,120
and waking them up. 
All right, peace out. 

1634
