It's. All going to zero against
Bitcoin. It's.
Going on forever you're. Against Bitcoin you're against
freedom. Yeah, Welcome to Simply Bitcoin
Live. We are your number one source
for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution.
Code breaking news culture, Matic Warfare.
We will be your guide through the separation of money and
state. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
the most watched Daily Bitcoin Live show on YouTube, Rumble and
X welcome to Simply Bitcoin. We're almost at all time highs.
We're clutching $63,440, almost 64 K We're going to have to pull
out Satoshi the Bitcoin chicken for the simply Bitcoin.
Oh geez, we would cluck Satoshi the Bitcoin chicken every time
we broke all time highs. And it looks like we're we're
awfully close. But there's a there's a lot of
speculation as to why this is happening.
Well, it's very simple. Wall Street is waking up to
absolute scarcity and there's not enough Bitcoin to go around.
There is a post that I saw from Bitcoin Magazine.
They bought 10,000 Bitcoin the other day.
There's only 900 Bitcoin mined a day, so they're buying more than
the available supply. And not to mention, ladies and
gentlemen, this is when the fireworks start.
The halving is right around the corner.
The halving is going to start in April, right?
So things are going to get wild. Max Keiser was essentially
speculating that Jeff Bezos. I mean, this isn't speculation,
this is a known fact. But Jeff Bezos liquidated $8.5
billion of Amazon stock and someone tagged Max Kaiser is,
you know, he's mingling with Michael Saylor.
Did Jeff Bezos get orange pilled?
And then Max Kaiser? Of course, said source, Yes.
So it could be true. And remember, ladies and
gentlemen, only takes a handful of billionaires to follow micro
Michael Saylor's strategy and this thing goes to the moon.
There's not enough to go around. And you have to understand
that's unique to Bitcoin. Nothing else in the world is
like that. Why?
Because when the price of gold goes up, if it goes parabolic,
the amount of gold that's being mined out of the ground goes up
with it, right? You know, higher the price.
You know, more people invest into gold mining regardless of
the Bitcoin price. Even if it goes higher, the the
amount of Bitcoin that's been that's able to be mined a day
stays the same. Not only does it stay the same,
it gets cut in half every four years.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is absolute, absolute scarcity.
And that's exactly why we are pumping both how we're pumping
right now. And another thing to keep in
mind is we are entering into uncharted territory.
Never has Bitcoin broken all time high before.
The halving has never happened before.
Usually Bitcoin breaks an all time high after the halving.
We're in uncharted territory and I suspect it has to do with the
ETF. But not only the ETF.
I think a lot of people, myself included, still have a little
bit of PTSD. We are still a little bit let
down from the previous cycle. A lot of people were expecting
100K Bitcoin previous cycle. My, I, I, I wouldn't say guess,
but my the reason that I believe we didn't was because of the
China ban, right. You literally see the the China
ban happened the hash rate drops 50% and the price goes down with
it as miners have to sell Bitcoin in order in order to
relocate to more favorable jurisdictions.
In other news also we have Elizabeth Warren that continues
to lose her mind. So it looks like, you know that
epic troll of getting her to sign to to, you know, to raise
the flag in honor of Satoshi Nakamoto was a troll.
But she's continues to go on the legacy corporate media, which we
now know is really just controlled opposition,
controlled propaganda you could say.
And she's just going on there and she continues to badger
this. But it gets to a point where we
have to get active, we have to take agency as individuals and
we have to ask ourselves like, look, OK, she's up for re
election this year. So if you are in Massachusetts
and you're a bitcoiner, Elizabeth Warren is not acting
in your own interest. In fact, if you are in
Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren wants you to wants to force you
to use the money that steals from you.
Elizabeth Warren wants to force you to use the money that is
designed to decrease in purchasing power.
That doesn't sound like someone who's working in my best
interest. So if you're in Massachusetts, I
would vote for the other guy regard or the other woman,
regardless of the political party.
Right, 'cause this is going to heat up.
And I think you know, and I'm calling it right now and I I
tweeted this out and I think it was like kind of controversial
when I tweeted it out. But I basically said like look
like by 2028 I think running on an anti Bitcoin stance as a
politician is going to be completely unviable just because
of the of the percentage of the population that are that is
holding Bitcoin. Just throwing that out there and
one last thing that I wanted to say is of course the vindication
of nine Bouquet and Michael Saylor.
I never forget the Pacific Bitcoin 2022 festival.
Michael Saylor was sitting in the front row.
The price of Bitcoin was at 16 K the average price per Bitcoin
that MicroStrategy bought was 29,000.
And I remember seeing his face and this man was down billions
of dollars paying the price of tuition like we all do.
We all have to pay our dues. And he's been vindicated.
Michael Saylor was right and El Salvador was right.
And all the naysayers, all the journalists, all the attacks
from the legacy media, this is their vindication.
And we still have 18 months of this party to to to keep going,
which is absolutely awesome. Bitcoin has already broken all
time highs and multiple currencies all around the world
and the US dollar seems like it's in Bitcoin's crosshairs.
It seems like we are going to hit that number very, very, very
soon. All right everybody.
I do want to bring up my Co host who's again wearing his Dolce
and Gabbana suit. Optimus, How you doing, Opti?
Man, how are we not doing great, you know, Nico woke me up this
morning and I was trolling last night that maybe we won't even
hit 58 K We blasted right through and someone said hit the
horn for the barons in the chat. Yeah, man, you've.
Earned this. You've earned this, guys.
Do not let them tell you. You are lucky you earned this.
Yeah, you earned 100%. Did you did you mention 58 Ki
think you mentioned 58? Ki did.
So guys, we had our friend on call for the specific day.
It was short lived and very anti climactic, but we have Dennis,
the creator of the 58K meme. You know we only touched it for
what you said 5.8 minutes. But hey, we brought you on
anyways bro. So, so we'll we'll round today,
show up with a little with a little humor, a little culture.
58K mean you you weren't wrong. You couldn't hold the wall.
What happened? First of all, thanks for having
me on guys. Very upset that we couldn't hold
the line. Wall Street just had too much
money. I'm really sorry guys, we
couldn't do it but. Failure.
But 58K? For a few months maybe.
Is it is it 580 K or have we upgraded yet?
I gotta talk to the team about that, but.
The team You, you and Sally and Winekas.
Chill top roller in the comments saying chill off the stay humble
Max Trotter saying Dennis, 58K gang gang.
Oh man, oh man. All right ladies and gentlemen,
I'm already super hyped. We're almost at 400 live
viewers. I think more than 400 live
viewers across all platforms show is just getting started.
But before we jump into the numbers to talk about all the
news today, I do want to give a shout out to our flagship
sponsor. Guys, this is bitcoinwell.com.
This is the platform that you want to use.
Help us make self custody by default.
The standard in the United States of America only brought
to you by Bitcoin. Well, this is a publicly traded
Canadian company that recently recently expanded to all 50
States and they took the hard way.
This is a bootstrap company, they didn't accept any money and
also it is self custody by the fault.
That's right, you can't buy Bitcoin on Bitcoin.
Well, unless you're going to take self custody of it.
And that's the right way to do it because self custody is the
revolution. They also have the Bitcoin
jackpot contest which is currently live.
You want to sign up for it. The way that you do that is you
go to bitcoinwell.com/apps/rewards
dash points and you could enter into the contest for a chance to
win. I I think the current jackpot is
1.5 million. Satoshi's an opportunity to win.
Also a Foundation Devices Passport hardware wallet if you
enter in before Friday. So guys, check out
bitcoinwell.com today, put in your e-mail.
I definitely, definitely recommend this platform to stack
your Bitcoin. All right, everybody, let's get
to the numbers. The Bitcoin numbers.
Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
Is your seed phrase really secure?
Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
paper. Don't store your generational
wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
fire damage. You want to put your
generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
time proof. All things that paper is not
allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind.
For the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp seed.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, at the time of recording, Wait,
wait. First guys.
I made it incredibly easy for you guys.
You could scan the QR code on your screen, take you directly
to the stamp Seed website where you can get yourself a stamp
Seed Seed phrase storage kit. You definitely want to store
your seed phrase properly so you could pass it on to your kids.

Simply 15% off at the time of recording that price has to be
wrong. There is no way.
What's going on with Clark Moody?
Did we just dip? Did we just run up to 3064 and
then drop back down again? What's going on?
This is crazy. Anyways, the current.
Price. Yeah, we did.
We. Definitely did.
This is nuts. Oh my God did.
Now it's the 60. This is what is going on.
Holy cow. Wait, wait, wait, Are we going
back to 58? K Oh my God, what is going on?
This price action is nuts. At the time of recording right
now it's 60,990 SAT's per dollar. 1644 block height
832,429 blocks to having 7005 171 It's around the corner
having estimate April 19th 2024 Total lightning network capacity
4529 Bitcoin capacity value 270 million U.S. dollars continues
to fluctuate. Ladies and gentlemen this is
absolutely crazy. Realized monetary inflation
1.74% the market capitalization Oh my God, what is going on 1.1
trillion U.S. dollars. I made fun of Dennis and look,
we're going back to 58 K he obviously.
He obviously talked to his team. He took care of business.
Bitcoin versus gold. Gold market cap is 8.52%.
The volatility is absolutely crazy.
What a time to be alive. And ladies and gentlemen, a
quick ETF update of course Fidelity, BlackRock, Wall Street
continues to stack Bitcoin. They continue that institutional
interest just continues to go up.
Look at that line just goes up. I mean when we started covering
this Fidelity stack was like A20K Bitcoin, BlackRock stock
was at like 30 or 40K Bitcoin, that 141,000 Bitcoin right now
BlackRock stack and if you compare and contrast that with
micro uh micro strategy micro strategy stack is about 193,000
bit Bitcoin. So I mean BlackRock seems to be
catching up and of course this isn't all of black rocks
Bitcoin, this is Bitcoin that BlackRock is holding for their
clients supposedly right. So just to clarify that, but if
you guys want to know this crazy volatility, why the price is
fluctuating the way it is? This is why you have this crazy
amount of interest for an asset that has absolute scarcity that
has never happened in the history of mankind.
This is why the Bitcoin ETF was one of the best performing ETFs
in history, right? This is how the two of the
Bitcoin ETFs are already in the top 10 ETFs in the US, right?
Out of 3100 ETFs, there's two Bitcoin ETFs already in the top
ten, right? This is why this is the
institutional interest. Also in other news,
Microstrategies is is apparently in the Fortune 500 already.
It's market cap and all Michael Saylor did was adopt A Bitcoin
strategy. They didn't change their
business strategy. They didn't change, you know,
their core business. All they did was they started
buying Bitcoin, putting it on its balance sheet, it on their
balance sheet. It is a CHEAT SHEET, not only
for businesses but also for individuals as well as well.
Adopt A Bitcoin standard and see how much your life will change.
I promise you, it will change. Be humble, stack stats, sack
sats, stay solvent, survive a cycle, pay your price of
tuition, and I promise you, life is very, very different when
you're living on a deflationary currency, when your savings
continue to increase in purchasing power.
It's incredibly liberating and it changes your mindset.
All of a sudden you have hope for the future and one of those
people that are against that awesome future, one of those
people that are against this peace and prosperity that's
around the corner is the anti Bitcoin Senator that currently
has a bill in Congress that would basically make it illegal
to mine Bitcoin in the US self custody would basically be
illegal. And also she took advantage of
the absolute tragedy that happened in Israel and Palestine
to try to circumvent the legislative process and put
pressure on the fence end to introduce this, these crazy
regulations, these crazy surveillance regulations on top
of on top of Bitcoin using a false narrative, she claimed.
I'm assuming maybe it wasn't her, but it was just suspicious,
right? The timing of all this?
But the Wall Street Journal claimed that terrorists were
using Bitcoin to, you know, to circumvent US sanction policy.
It came out that that was patently false.
In fact, Tom Emmer made the head of FinCEN admit in Congressional
testimony that it terrorists preferred using the traditional
financial system. They didn't want to.
They, they didn't use Bitcoin. So Elizabeth Warren's
narratives, I'm sure of which you're going to hear a little
bit of now, are patently false. She knows they're false, but she
continues to lie. You know, Elizabeth Warren
champions herself as protecting the little guy against the
banks, against these big companies.
There's no better technology on the face of the planet that
protects the lower and middle classes from the ravages of
inflation than Bitcoin. So what side are you on,
Elizabeth Warren? I said this last night and I'm
sticking to it. Elizabeth Beth Warren is an
enemy of humanity. If you are against Bitcoin, you
are an enemy of humanity in my eyes.
I don't see why you would be against it, because Bitcoin
benefits everyone equally. Full stop.
Period. End of discussion.
You can't debate that. How could you say otherwise?
You could say otherwise. If you benefit from the
container system like Elizabeth Warren, like Christine Lagarde,
then you can hate Bitcoin. I understand why the European
Central Bank is coming out with these blog posts saying, you
know, Bitcoin is dangerous, Bitcoin's a failure.
I would do that too if I was benefiting from the power of the
money printer. But you know who pays when they
print all that money? The rest of us do.
The lower middle classes get impacted.
The excuse me get impacted the most.
So shame on Elizabeth Warren. She's up for re election this
year. Vote her out of office.
She's evil. I'm saying it.
She's evil. She's not a good person.
All right, let's check out this video.
I. Want to collaborate with the?
No you don't. Understand is why the industry
seems to be saying that the only way that they can survive is if
there's plenty of space for the drug traffickers and human
traffickers. Oh, and the terrorists and the
ransomware scammers and the consumer scammers and the rogue
nations, North Korea that is financing about half of its
nuclear missile program with crypto that all of that has to
be left open. You know, keep in mind in our
financial system, pretty much everybody follows the same set
of rules. I'm talking banks and credit
unions and credit card companies, gold traders and
stockbrokers. Private equity now has to follow
the rules, precious metal dealers, Venmo, Western Union,
but not crypto. My view of the world is same
kind of activity, same kind of risk, should have the same
regulation. I'm not looking for fancier
regulation for them, I'm not looking for for anything tougher
for them. I just want to level playing
field here. That, but that's the thing
though. Like, that's not true.
Because if that were true, the
current existing regulations already apply to the Bitcoin and
the altcoin industry. They already apply.
What she's asking for is more surveillance.
What she's asking for is for the government to have more power.
And remember, don't pay attention to what they say, Pay
attention to what they do. If you actually take a look at
her bill, unhosted wallets are named unhosted wallets.
That term isn't even in the Bitcoin white paper.
That's a made-up term by politicians and bureaucrats to
demonize self custody, which empowers individuals from the
SAT. From from governments, Honestly,
from tyrannical governments, right?
So, like like she's not being honest here.
She's misrepresenting the data, she's misrepresenting herself.
She's straight up lying. That's not true.
And again, I I took it extremely personal personally when, you
know, she used what happened in the Middle East as a political
weapon to go after Bitcoin. I took that very personal
because I have friends that live in Israel, I have friends that
are Palestinian. And for you to use the death of
children and women for a political game, I mean, is a
testament of who you are as a human being.
And that is absolutely despicable from Elizabeth
Warren. And she lied here.
She did not tell the truth. Take a look at her bill, take a
look at the FinCEN proposal. And you let me know if that is
the same rules and regulations that the traditional financial
system uses, even though the head of the FinCEN already
acknowledged to Tom Enner. That hey, no, terrorists prefer
the traditional financial system.
So why is Elizabeth Warren so hell bent on Bitcoin?
Well it's very simple. How you going to wealth how are
you going to redistribute wealth if the majority of your
population start see start saving their money in
unconfiscatable wealth kind of changes that the the the
dynamics of things something talked about in the book The
Sovereign Individual, which I highly, highly recommend you
guys read. Maybe I read a passage from it
like we always do every couple of days.
And here's Pierre Rashard. Fine.
Don't take my word for it, right?
You know, it's simply Bitcoin. Maybe we're just very passionate
about this. Maybe we're kooks because we
cover this in the Bitcoin use every single day.
Here is the head of research, the VPA, Vice President of
Research at Riot Platforms, A publicly traded company, Bitcoin
mining company. And this is Pierre Rashard.
His words, quote Senator Elizabeth Warren is weaponizing
all of government to attack Bitcoin and defend bankers.
So Elizabeth Warren was part of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
You know what, Elizabeth Warren? You joined Wall Street.
You're in the BA. You're in the wallet.
You benefit from Wall Street. Wall Street is paying you.
You switch sides. You are against the very thing
that you were fighting for. You're a fraud.
That's what I got to say. If you really want to defend the
little guy, you should be supporting Bitcoin because it is
the most powerful tool the middle class could use to
protect themselves from the savages of inflation.
Shame on you, Elizabeth Warren. And if you live in
Massachusetts, I don't care if you vote Democrat or Republican.
I don't care vote for the other person that is pro Bitcoin,
because if you're pro Bitcoin, you're pro humanity.
Anyways, Opti, what's your take on all this, man?
I'm sorry, dude. I'm.
I'm sick and tired of, you know, the lies and the
misrepresentations from this lady, you know, using tragedies,
using these things to to go after Bitcoin.
It's despicable. It's disgusting.
I don't like it. It's not cool, you know?
If you're gonna attack Bitcoin, make a good argument.
Don't lose. Don't use lies and
misrepresentations like these anti politics like anti Bitcoin
politicians and these anti Bitcoin central bankers.
You guys don't even have a good faith argument.
You want to know why you don't have a good faith argument?
Because bitcoiners are basically calling your bluff and saying
money can exist and it can function in a better fashion and
it doesn't have to steal from you and you guys don't have a
good faith argument against that.
So what you guys are using are lies and misrepresentations and
we're calling you out on your BS and I know that you guys don't
like it, but This is why. This is why we're going to win.
We just have better incentives than you guys.
And as and you guys could benefit from this too.
You guys could buy Bitcoin just like we buy Bitcoin, right?
We don't have any special privileges here.
Everyone's equal. You guys say that that's what
you guys want, but in actuality you you do something very, very
different. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
on this? I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of it.
Can't can't deal with it anymore.
Anyways, guys, if you're enjoying the show, we have 641
live viewers between Twitter and YouTube.
I'm sure rumble's popping off as well.
If you guys are enjoying the show, make sure to smash that
like button. Really helps with the algos
anyways, Opti, what's your take on all this brother?
Yeah, I mean, look, if you just listen to Elizabeth Warren in
that clip and you don't really understand any of the technicals
going on like it, it sounds, you know, it, it sounds like she's
actually, you know, caring for the well-being of the average
person out there. But when you really look into
the details here, like Bitcoin and even at large, you know, the
crypto industry, like, they all abide by literally the same KYC,
AML rules that everyone else abides in the like, there's no
skirting this. If you're a public Bitcoin
company, you can't skirt around all this stuff.
Like, she tries to make it out to believe.
And it really does make you wonder, you know, when Elizabeth
Warren first came out on the scene against Bitcoin, we were
speculating like, OK, who is she actually playing cover for?
Like, who is the people behind her?
What is going on here? And Nico points it out today
where it's like, look, she fought or at least was on the
side of like Occupy Wall Street. And now she's working and
playing cover for the big banks. We all know what's going on
here. We see this playbook happen
constantly. People come out and flood
Bitcoin and we all know why. It's because they're
incentivized to maintain the Fiat hegemony.
They are getting paid by the bankers.
They are the ones at the lobbying groups out there.
And like I I love what Pierre Rochard said, you know,
Elizabeth Warren and and her friends out there are basically
taking the whole brunt of the government, weaponizing the
government and having a full head on approach at Bitcoin.
Obviously she comes out here as like I'm here to protect you
guys. Like this is for your safety
citizen. But we constantly break this
down on the show. We we constantly show their
hypocrisy. We all know what's actually
happening. They are terrified of you guys
out there as individuals saving in something that they cannot
control, which is of course Bitcoin.
And as we see the price start to pump, we're going to see more
and more people lose their minds around Bitcoin.
Like I I tweeted this morning you know I just can't wait to
see corporate press and and all the politicians and central
bankers lose their minds this year as Bitcoin pumps and
they're they're all going to say the same thing.
You know it's bitcoins for what she say like money launderers
and we're financing terrorists and shadowy super coders and
Bitcoin psychopaths. I don't even remember all the
things they've called us when all we really want is a money
that they cannot steal from us, that they cannot debase.
And as we're seeing today, today's a great example of this
like and and probably the clip are going to play with Kaiser
where like the dollar is crashing right now against
Bitcoin. And This is why they're losing
their minds because they understand that they have lost
the control of of narrative propagation.
They know that Oh my God, we cannot control the Internet, we
cannot control Bitcoin. So the only thing they have left
is to gaslight individuals out there and scare you away from
holding Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only way to
escape the Fiat madness. Opt into a parallel system that
protects you from clown world. This is what we're seeing happen
in real time. And of course, you know, as
bitcoiners we get super excited when the price goes up.
But in reality, what's happening is the dollar is getting
decimated right now, all Fiat currencies are getting wrecked
right now, and if you have positioned yourself and
protected yourself by holding Bitcoin, then it's glorious to
see them all squirm and freak out because hey, we were right.
We've been telling you guys this for a long time.
So no amount of fighting by Elizabeth Warren is going to
stop this, but she can very, very seriously hurt individuals
out there that believe the nonsense she's saying.
And we know we know the truth here.
The banks are scared of Bitcoin propagating and people holding
Bitcoin because it calls their bluff.
The Fiat Ponzi is popping in real time.
It might take a long time, but hey, if you're a bitcoiner, you
know, enjoy the price pump. Enjoy the the Fiat clowns.
Vindication. It's real time from the
sidelines. It's a vindication for you,
everyone. If you've been holding in the
trenches, You know your parents making funny your grandparents,
right? You know you've you've suffered
through the bowl of the bear market.
You've paid your price of tuition.
Enjoy this. We're just getting started.
We have 18 months left of this party, Mama.
We made it. Oh my God, that's absolutely,
absolutely hilarious. So yeah, enjoy it.
Soak it in. These are the moments in life
you remember at 80 years old. You remember these precious
moments and also before, before BJ the banks are scared of
Nico's beard before I pass it on to Dennis cause I've been on a
soapbox a little bit. It's, I mean I I get, I I'm
sorry guys. I can't hold it in.
When, you know, when, when, when Elizabeth starts doing these
things like just tell the truth, just tell it.
Just be honest, You know, just be honest if you're like,
listen, I just fundamentally agree that, you know, money
should be controlled by governments.
And I fundamentally agree that human beings are citizens in the
US shouldn't, you know, be allowed to own unconfiscatable
wealth. Just be straight up about it and
then see how that works out for you.
Right. Just do that.
And I just want to say something else before I pass it on to
Dennis is, look, this is not a Democrat versus Republican
thing. This is not a left versus right
thing. This is the party of Orange, the
party of peace, prosperity, optimism, opportunity.
The party of Orange, The party of Bitcoin versus the party of
Green, The party of nihilism, slavery, Fiat nihilism, war.
That is the battle at hand. And you as an individual, you
got to decide what side you're on.
Are you on the side of Orange or are you on the side of Green?
And don't get lost in the sauce when they try to use the divide
and conquer method and tell you no, it's the Democrats that are
responsible for this. No, it's the Republicans.
No, it's Fiat money. The money's broken.
Fix the money, Fix the world. Anyways, Dennis, wait wait wait
wait. Wait, wait.
Before I go to Dennis. Sorry guys, I see everyone
freaking out about Coinbase being down right now.
This is why we do not recommend you guys using Coinbase.
First, go to bitcoinwell.com. Second guys.
Second guys, if you've been around for a few cycles then
then we know that this is normal coin base.
This happens every time it starts pumping.
Coin base goes down by accident. It's like it's like clockwork.
This is usually means that we are in a bull run is when coin
base goes down. So again guys, your coin should
be SAFU, at least in quotes, but don't use Coinbase.
It's not Safu. No, that's what.
That's why I said you're using. That's why I said in quotes
you're. Using Bit if you're using
Coinbase to buy Bitcoin. Don't use Coinbase.
Don't use Coinbase and don't leave your coins on exchange.
This is why we recommend Bitcoin.
Well, self custody by default ladies and gentlemen.
Use the proper platforms, don't you?
Don't leave your coins on Coinbase.
Don't do. It I go Dennis.
I go Dennis. Your coins on any exchange,
Dennis. It's up to you, bro.
Yeah, I see that the running theme here is that you should
probably take custody of your coin.
I mean, I know that you guys are very passionate against people
like Warren and Gensler and Fink, but I'm kind of like on
their side at this point just cause what do you just cause
like we had a little flash crash to 58 K so I think they have
something to do with that. So that's I'm pretty much on
their team at this point, and the whole Coinbase thing just, I
don't know, I think you could, I think you could probably just
see yourself as like, OK, if I have a Coinbase account, the
least I could do is take away the coins from Larry Fink,
right, 'cause he's using Coinbase as his, I don't know,
as his custodian, right? So maybe you should keep using
Coinbase and take away some of their coins on that that
exchange. I don't know that I'm just
throwing out like, you know, some some contrary advice right
there. But agreed on like all of the
methods that they're going to do at this point just to like keep
you from living your life. I think that's that's like the,
the main thing that got me into Bitcoin.
I was just sort of like I just want to be left alone at this
point. But they're going to continue
doing all these games on all these platforms.
They're going to try and mitigate all the influence we
have. I mean maybe that's going to be
less so at this point just cause Wall Street's here and they're
going to have even more influence than probably a lot of
the plebs at this point. But you you never know like
maybe there could be another like 580 K gang thing going on.
But any case, yeah that's that's kind of all the thoughts I have
like you you don't really have to see these guys as like pure
evil or like against you. They're just the old guard
trying to protect their whole their whole Moat of influence
and power at this point. So if you play the same games
against them within this new mode called Bitcoin, you know
things could happen a bit more peacefully like in the future,
hopefully, right? A. 100% I I agree.
I I I agree with that. I hope that happens.
I hope this isn't a, you know, a a bloody transition like the the
separation of church and state. I hope this is a peaceful
transition or sorry, call it. The peaceful Bitcoin revolution
doesn't require any action other than you buying, earning, mining
Bitcoin and taking that Bitcoin into self custody.
That's all you got to do, like you're participating in the
revolution, whether you're aware of it or not.
Because essentially what you're doing is you're taking back your
financial sovereignty by, you know, custodying your wealth,
right? And of course, Bitcoin allows
you to do that in a efficient manner.
So anyways, ladies and gentlemen, let's get to the
news. We have a lot to talk about
today. Let's check it out.
Here we go. The Daily News.
I want to give a shout out to our sponsor, Foundation Devices.
It's self custody done right. They built a premium grade
hardware wallet called Passport right here in the US.
It's fully open source and verifiable.
It's the most intuitive Bitcoin wallet designed with the UX,
reminiscent of a simple feature phone so you will know how to
navigate it and use it the moment you pick it up.
Get your Bitcoin off exchanges and into your into your own
hands in just a few minutes. Experience the Peace of Mind
that comes with taking ownership of your own keys.
After a massive sell out during Bitcoin Miami 2023, the passport
is back in stock at foundationdevices.com.
Bitcoin only, open source. Verifiable completely Air gap
security model, gorgeous design, craft premium grade materials.
If you're thinking about getting your Bitcoin off exchange
changes, this is the one for you.
Check out the passport link in the show notes below to learn
more. All right ladies and gentlemen,
I made it incredibly easy for you guys.
You could scan the QR code on your screen right now, take you
directly to the Foundation Devices website where you can
get yourself a passport hardware wallet.
Remember guys, we just talked about it.
Not your keys, not your cheese. You definitely want to take self
custody of your wealth and one of the easiest ways to do it is.
I mean one of like. I would say the best way to do
it is by getting yourself a hardware wallet.
And of course you recommend our sponsor Passport by Foundation
Devices. Completely open source, It's
incredibly easy to use. It has an app, it's called the
Envoy. It makes it easy and of course
if you're new to the whole self custody aspect, to have a
concierge service or one of their Bitcoin experts will help
you take self custody of your Bitcoin using the passport.
Anyways, I do want to make this historic news because I mean
Opti should is it is should I pull out Satoshi This discount?
Is Satoshi the Bitcoin chicken? Does it only apply to dollars?
I don't know. We are.
We are Americans. But I don't know.
Hit it. Whatever.
Who cares? Hit it.
OK, so it's been it's been a long time, ladies and gentlemen,
where Satoshi the Bitcoin chicken has not clicked.
So it's been a long time, Long time coming.
He's back. He's back.
And that's because shout out to her friends over at Bitcoin
Magazine. Breaking Bitcoin is starting to
break all time high against the world's largest currencies.
That includes the South Korean won, the Indian rupee, the South
Korean sorry, the South African Rand, the Swedish krona, the
Norwegian kron, the New Zealand dollar and the Chinese yuan.
So Bitcoin continues to do, Bitcoin does best, continues to
embarrass Fiat currencies. And if you take a look at it
from, you know, kind of a top ten standpoint, Bitcoin's market
cap has quickly surpassed the M1 of both Canada and Australia.
Internet money is now in the top 10.
So this is not bad. I mean the this makes the
European Central Bank look awfully bad in my opinion.
But I mean it looks like, you know, Bitcoin has about what is
that million billion, about 10 trillion roughly and it catches
the EU. So I mean, you know, it's on.
It's on his heels. It's on his heels.
Anyways. So I didn't want to talk about
this. We were talking about this in
the beginning of the show about the vindication of Michael
Saylor Naimbukele, and let's talk about that vindication,
shall we? So Naimbukele says when
Bitcoin's market market price was low, they wrote literally
thousands of articles about our supposed losses.
Now that Bitcoin's market cap is way up, if we were to sell, we
would make a profit of over 40% just from the market purchases.
And our main source of Bitcoin is now our citizenship program.
We won't sell. Of course, at the end, one
Bitcoin equals one mother effing Bitcoin.
That's not just a random bitcoiner on Twitter.
That is the president of a of an effing nation state.
We're winning so hard, guys. You your life is going to
fundamentally change in the next 18 months.
You have absolutely no idea right?
Anyways, he goes on to say this was true when the market price
was low and it's true now, but it's very telling that the
authors of those hit pieces, the analysts, the experts, the
journalists are totally silent now.
And remember this next time they spill lies again about El
Salvador, right? And I'm looking at you Elizabeth
Warren. Anyways, so here is an awesome
bitcoiner. And you know it's not only those
countries, a bunch of other countries that Bitcoin is making
all time highs. So Bangladesh, China, Congo,
Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya,
Laos, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sri
Lanka, Sudan, Surinam, Turkey, Ukraine, Ubekistan, Angola,
Argentina, Bangladesh. You guys get the point.
Bitcoin is making all time high all around the world.
And of course, the reason is simple.
There's only 21 million Bitcoin. And before I know what a lot of
you guys are asking, maybe we're still early to this thing.
Maybe. You know, maybe, I mean, sorry,
maybe we're late to this thing. Maybe we've missed the bus.
Where here's Edward Snowden, massive account.
Some people call him a hero, some people don't like him,
right? Kind of depends where you stand.
But I'm not going to get into that.
But most importantly, he has a massive following.
He's a very, very well known individual around the world and
he asked his audience yesterday at 9:47 AM Eastern Standard
Time. He said, do you own any amount
of Bitcoin whatsoever? 56% of his audience said no.
Only 43% of them said yes, right.
So I think that is a big deal. Anyways, talking about shifting
the Overton window, Max Kaiser goes on Alex Jones.
I understand Alex Jones is a very divisive figure, but he
does have a massive following. And I ask everyone, please,
please don't get distracted about the ideological psyop.
That's, that's really what I call it.
I told you guys in the very beginning of the show, it is not
left versus right. It is not Democrat versus
Republican, it's not liberal versus conservative.
It is orange versus green, Bitcoin versus Fiat money.
So whatever moves, you know, the whatever moves the needle
towards the side of orange is a good thing.
And here's the thing ladies and gentlemen, We have to continue
shifting the Overton window. We have to get the masses asking
a very, very important question, but a very simple one.
What is money? Why am I being forced to use the
money that steals from me? Why?
I don't understand why this Why? Why am I being forced to do
that? And then that leads you down the
Bitcoin rabbit hole. So anyways, here is Max Kaiser.
He went on Alex Jones show and he's explaining how the dollar
is crashing against Bitcoin and demonetizing gold.
Let's check it out. We're already in the crap.
If you talk about crap, we're already in the crash example of
now they're just not admitting it.
Well, OK, I'll give you another example of, you know, missing
the forest for the trees. When you talk about crash,
typically in the US, you know everything is in U.S. dollar
terms, right? The stock market's hitting new
highs, but that's in U.S. dollar terms.
Warren Buffett has the most cash in his balance sheet ever of 197
billion, but it's U.S. dollars. But if you were to price
everything in Bitcoin, the stock market, commodity prices,
Berkshire Hathaway stock, NVIDIA stock, Microsoft stock, if you
were to price it on Bitcoin, they're all collapsing against
Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin as a pure
price signal in the market is telling us something about the
dollar, about inflation, and about global geopolitics.
And you're a former. I agree.
You're a former. We'll talk about Bitcoin coming
up. You're a former silver, so I'm
going to leave it right there. But you like that signal from
Max was spot on, right? And again, this is not an
audience that is necessarily orange pilled.
This is an audience that you know is hearing these things
from the first time for like maybe the first time.
Maybe it's, you know, the first couple times.
But remember, it's not enough for you to hear about Bitcoin.
In my experience, the most powerful way to Orange peel
someone is to tell them about Bitcoin and then NGU does what
NGU technology does best. You know how much it hurts when
you tell someone to buy Bitcoin and it was at $1000 and now it's
sitting pretty at $61,276? That hurts.
And that convinces people. That's like, Oh my God, maybe I
should have paid attention to this thing, right?
And but what Kaiser said was the signal Bitcoin is just a mirror.
It's actually showing how much these Fiat currencies are losing
value, right? And it's really, really
important because it's not Max Kaiser saying this on a Bitcoin
podcast. It's Max Kaiser saying this on a
on a you know kind of a AAI wouldn't call a mainstream but
let's say a non Bitcoin popular podcast right.
And here's Tim Poole. Tim Poole is 1 currently one of
the most popular podcasters right now on YouTube.
You know host of the Tim cast. IRL does these like news bits as
well. Big fan of his and he said
February 27th. So yesterday, imagine Matt being
Max Kaiser, desperately trying to make us all billionaires and
where you're where you're like, yeah, yeah, whatever, Max.
To be frank though, after I missed the train on Bitcoin at
$0.70 and then again after Max advice, I ended up buying a
bunch a few years later and I'm extremely happy.
And this is what I was talking about, right?
This is exactly what I was talking about.
You tell someone the price of Bitcoin I didn't have, you know,
I'm class of 2016, so I think the lowest was like in six
hundred $700.00, right, for me. But you know, $0.70, like,
that's absolutely nuts. And you would think, Oh my God,
imagine if Bitcoin was at a cent and then went to $0.70, you'd be
like, dude, I I missed the train, like like F like, I
messed up, right? But again, people don't
understand the significance of absolute scarcity and Wall
Street is just waking up to that.
Anyways, so I I love Samson Mao's meme of it, right where he
he doesn't put six $61,000 Bitcoin, he puts .06 million
dollar Bitcoin. I think it's very fitting.
It's absolutely hilarious. Anyways, I'm going to end it at
this. I know I've been on my soapbox
for a little bit. Here's Nayan Bukele at CPAC.
And again, guys, please don't get distracted by the politics
because I know a lot of people will.
But pay attention to the words of what he's saying, right?
And in terms of shifting the Overton window, we're making
huge progress. Max Keiser on Alex Jones.
Nayan Bukele talking about printing money out of thin air
at CPAC President Javier Miley of Argentina also spoke at
speech CPAC. But his speech at the World
Economic Forum was the best one where he said that printing
money is a mechanism to control people, right?
And that was a very, very powerful kind of statement,
right? So first, Libertarian candidate
elected President Nayan Bukhale, saying the quiet part out loud,
Can the government of the United States really keep printing
unlimited amounts of money out of thin air?
That's a great question. So we'll play you the clip of
the speech. But here's a more important
statement, right, Which is and connect the dots because this is
what we do on simply Bitcoin with what Max Keiser was saying
on Alex Jones. Bitcoin is showing that, and
that's why they don't like it. When you're going to print an
infinite amount of dollars, Infinity divided by 21 million,
who do you think's going to win there, right?
Where? What do you think's going to be
the place to store your with a bet, The better place, the
superior place to store your wealth?
I mean, the answer is simple in my opinion.
Anyways, let's check out this clip.
When I talk to my conservative friends right here, they always
tell me that the problem is high taxes.
But they're wrong, of course. High taxes are extremely high
here in the United States. I I give you that.
You're right in that. But that's not the real problem.
The real problem is not the high taxes themselves, but the fact
that they are not even really funding the government.
But even those high taxes higher than a lot of places in the
world, but even those taxes are really funding the government.
So who's financing the government?
Government is financed by Treasury bonds, Paper.
And who buys the Treasury bonds? Mostly the Fed.
And how does the Fed buy them? By printing money.
But what backing does the Fed have for that money being
printed? The Treasury bonds themselves.
So basically you finance the government by printing money out
of thin air. Someone could ask.
Well, so if the government can
print the limited amounts of money out of thin air, why did
they collect taxes? That, ladies and gentlemen, is
shifting the Overton window. That, ladies and gentlemen, is
why Elizabeth Warren continues to attack this thing.
That's why the European Central Bank continues to attack this
thing, because it, Bitcoin calls into question by its mere
existence, central banking. What is central banking?
Is it actually the best way? Is it the fairway?
What is Fiat money? Why should someone else have the
privilege of being able to create money for free while I
have to work for it? Why should that be a thing?
Why does my money have to lose purchasing power, and why don't
they take responsibility for it? Why do they blame everything and
anything but themselves for inflation?
It's a good question to ask. Anyways, to address today's
title Kaiser again Dropping the sauce.
I think this was hilarious. Thomas from heyapollo.com said
Is Jeff Bezos pulling into piling into Bitcoin right now
Mingling with Michael Saylor Just liquidated $8.5 billion in
Amazon stock. Max Kaiser said yes.
OK, on a more serious which I think is absolutely hilarious.
I mean, but it could be true. How did we jump up these crazy
numbers like we've had a cut, a crazy cut last couple of days.
I'm not going to lie and OK, but what's the actual truth?
Right, The actual truth. The numbers, the hard data,
right. Something that can't be
misrepresented, skewed, lied to. This is what governments are
going to have to answer to. This is what central bankers are
going to have to answer to. Numbers don't lie.
It doesn't lie. OK, if you've been saving in
Bitcoin on a five year scale, the dollar has gotten 93%
cheaper. The Euro has gotten 94% cheaper.
The Singapore dollar has got a 93% cheaper.
In fact, every single Fiat currency on this list.
I mean the Argentinian Peso 99.7% cheaper.
Talk about wrecked. These numbers don't lie.
It tells you what is the better money.
No, no amount of propaganda, spin, misrepresentation is going
to change those facts. So you got to decide what money
you want to choose, what money you want your children to use,
and what type of future you want your children to live in.
I mean, to me it's incredibly obvious.
I I think the Bitcoin standard, I think a sound money standard
is the option. I think it's time to try
something new. I think it's time that we get
away from central banking and all the death, destruction,
poverty and nihilism and division that comes with it.
Anyways, Opti, what's your take on all this?
Yeah, so going back a little bit, you know, Kaiser in the
very beginning hit the nail on the head.
And we, we constantly talk about this on the show and this is
what we're seeing happen in real time.
This is why the Bitcoin price is going up so hard today is
because the dollar is crashing against Bitcoin.
Again, our favorite website, what what is it, Nico?
Price in Bitcoin? Is it price in bitcoin21.com?
Price of bitcoin21.com. Price and bitcoin21.com guys you
can see in real time that everything is getting cheaper.
If you are holding Bitcoin is because the Fiat Ponzi is a slow
moving train and it is popping in real time.
And any one of you guys that are bitcoiners and anyone that's
actually aware of what's going on is looking for an
alternative. So while Sailor might be or not
so sorry, while Kaiser might be trolling that Bezos is, you
know, actively stacking Bitcoin, we do know he was hanging out
with Michael Saylor on a yacht like last week or whatever.
So like people are waking up to the idea that if you are saving
in Fiat dollars, you're holding melting ice cubes.
And the numbers don't lie. You know, they can manipulate
the CPI prices. They can, you know, continue to
to prop up the stock markets. But when you price everything in
Bitcoin, it is showing you a different story.
They're getting absolutely wrecked.
And This is why we tell every single one of us and and we eat
our own food. You know, we hold Bitcoin.
We try to hold as much Bitcoin as possible but also be able to
pay our rent and pay our roast groceries and you know, survive
in the Fiat world but you want to be holding and storing your
value in Bitcoin because it's the only thing that cannot be
debased. And the Buchelle clip, I I'm
sure we're going to be playing this constantly on the show
because more and more people are going to wake up to the scam
that is Fiat Ponzi. But the issue is money printing
guys like in in full left side of the bell curve terms, you
know, the whole world economy and the US economy, it's
literally paper backed by paper. And that's what's keeping
everything afloat is just the fact that they're printing money
out of thin air. Nico, what's the tweet that you
put on? You know, I refuse to use the
money that someone can print out of thin air.
Like this is what's going on. People are looking for an
alternative and the alternative is Bitcoin.
So as we will see moving forward this year as the price starts
running, moving into the halving and after the halving we're
going to see people wake up to what is going on and you know
shouts out the temple for for being humble enough to be like
man, I could have bought at this price.
You know I'm kicking myself in the ass for this.
But at least I'm buying now and that just goes to show everyone
out there like do not get stuck on the sidelines.
Yes, the price of bitcoins going to be running, but like buying
Bitcoin at 60 K is better than buying Bitcoin at 150 K like the
price is going to continue to go up.
So do not get caught on the sidelines.
Continue to stack Bitcoin because holding Fiat dollars is
the more riskier play right now. And average people saving
dollars, they don't understand the mechanics of the economy,
they don't understand the mechanics of money printing and
it is all stealing your wealth. Your dollars are leaking
purchasing power overtime. And we're seeing in real time
that finally, finally, it's been a long bear market but the world
is getting repriced in Bitcoin and it's just awesome to be on
the front lines like we we were right.
It feels good being right, you know.
Of course good. Of course I want to, I want to
say like the big short meme, like don't dance.
But of course we're going to be dancing a little bit.
We're going to throw some horns in there because this is the
year when bitcoiners are looked at geniuses and then after 2025
everyone's going to be like, oh, bitcoiners are an idiot to when,
you know we probably get a pullback.
So again, do this for the long term.
As my boy Nick camp mine always says don't stack Nat stats for
your first name, stack stats for your last name.
This is a long term play. You need to be holding Bitcoin
for the future. For the long term, it's not
about getting some Fiat games. It's about understanding what is
actually going on to the world economy right now.
And it seems like Fiat currencies around the world are
starting to, I wouldn't say hyperinflate, but the Fiat Ponzi
bubble is starting to pop. It's been going on the real
experiment, this paper money, you know, we've been on it for
100 years and now we have something better.
And this is Bitcoin. This is why you need to save in
Bitcoin. This is the way, this is the way
to protect yourself. It's super simple.
Just stack Bitcoin constantly, continue to buy Bitcoin, make
sure you have either ADCA or do what I do and capitulate your
Fiat as soon as possible and stack as much Bitcoin as
possible. Anyways, Dennis, what's your
thoughts on all this? Are we going back to 58 K?
Anything's possible, guys. No, but I mean this time, I
don't know. We were kind of discussing this
before the show. Things are fairly different.
We have different players coming in.
They're probably going to have their own gang that that you
probably won't be able to join, but that's OK.
Like, Bitcoin is for everyone. It's for enemies as well.
Yeah, I hope everyone's stacked enough Bitcoin during this last
last like 4 years, because we just take out like the 2021 rise
in price. We were pretty much just flat
like the whole time. Generational wealth will be
achieved within the next like couple years and I hope
everyone's stacked enough. That's really all I have to say
on that. 100% Dennis dropping the sauce guys we're at 840 we
we I think we we touched 845 live viewers across all
platforms on Twitter, rumble and YouTube.
If you guys are enjoying the shows make sure to smash that
like button really, really helps with the algos and it's a it's a
privilege to to be able to do this for you guys and stop deny.
Holy crap man, this is nuts. OK guys, before we move on to
the culture, I do want to give a shout out to our sponsors
because they're they're who keep us on the air.
So first up, we got Bitcoin evangelism.
We have 10 million people to Orange Peel is what we've been
talking about. Bitcoin Evangelism by Brian De
Mint is an absolute beast of a resource for orange peeling.
No corners and all corners alike.
This is a book for bitcoiners who know Bitcoin but have a hard
time explaining it to their friends.
It's a book for Bitcoiners who are trying to explain Bitcoin
only to all coiners. It's available on Amazon right
now. You can scan the QR code on your
screen. It'll take you directly to the
Amazon page. Or you could check the link in
the video description. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's get to the culture. We have a lot to talk about.
The Daily Culture. I also want to give a shout out
to Kaboom Racks. They are the most trusted place
to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin mining equipment.
You got to check out Kaboom racks.
You could do that by scanning the QR code on your screen or
check the link in the video or podcast description.
It will take you directly to their Telegram marketplace or
you can connect with the member of their sales team.
They make purchasing their products easy and transparent.
You could also sell your mining equipment with them.
You could access their vast network of domestic and
international customers when you sell your mining equipment with
kaboom racks. This is where I personally buy
my Bitcoin mining ASICS guys. Check out Kaboom Racks today and
start your Bitcoin mining utopia.
All right, Opti, it's all yours. All right, well, guys, I had
planned to bring Dennis on. I think I hit him up at the
beginning of the week and we're like, yo, it looks like we might
hit 58 K So we brought him on after we hit 58 K It was a meme.
Maybe, maybe, maybe we'll talk about the origin of the meme or
whatever, but like, we only hit the we only hit 58 K for like 5
minutes. So you know, a little
bittersweet. But yeah, let's Dennis, maybe
let's start. Where did the 58K meme even
start from and what was the idea there?
And and what's going on with, you know, the 58K wall?
I thought, it's going sideways 58 K forever.
It looks like you were wrong. Yeah, like Sailor says, all
models are meant to be broken. So.
Yeah, that's not. What you're saying in line with
that whole, that whole, that whole line of thinking, it's it
feels good to have it break to the upside.
Can't lie. But it also feels kind of bad at
the same time. But.
Why does it feel bad? Because it's the end of an era.
I think it's it's about time like we we kind of move on to,
well, I don't know, who knows? 500K gang.
Bigger and better things, right? 580 K 585 hundred 80K gang, 580K
gang. It's possible.
It's quite possible. Nothing confirmed yet, that's
still in the works. Oh man, well.
It has to do in the background with that but I.
I think it's pretty fitting though.
You know what? Like I was joking with you
before the show. Dennis is like man, 58K gang.
You know, it was a it was a strong two year meme where
everyone was just giving you crap.
Like this is your fault And it's so fitting that we blew through
it and what, 5.8 minutes like you said, it's like we didn't
even have time to celebrate. It was just like, all right, we
I was joking last night. I'm like, man, the price is at
56 K like, all right, I hit. I'm like, all right, maybe let's
bring you on tomorrow. It looks like we might hit 58 K
And then I woke up this morning and it was at 60 K and I'm like,
whoa, like, what is going on? So, you know, is it fitting that
your your life's work of 58 K just got destroyed?
Yeah, I think everything at some point within Bitcoin gets slain.
So this is another, another movement that got slain.
And it's pretty much just like, you know, I think it's time to,
to focus on other things at this point.
Yeah, we could focus on bigger numbers for sure.
I don't. Know what's the next What's the
new number But 580K gang? I don't.
I don't know. No, we got it right here, 5.8
million gang. Oh.
Yeah, that. Might that might be more in line
with. We we won't be able to reach
Dennis at that point. He'll be.
He'll be disappeared. I'll still hang out, guys, Mike.
I will probably get banned and everyone will forget about me at
some point, but I know the homies will.
They'll they'll reach out at least.
Well, it's definitely an end of an era bro.
Like you. At least you guys can say you
were here during a very micro niche meme gang known as 58K
gang. But what's the future of 58K
gang? Are you guys just disbanding or
what's going on here? Now we'll we'll probably still
have like the group chat still going on.
And we'll you guys want to talk about it though?
We'll we'll basically have to cope with more money, I guess.
I don't know. It's.
Really hard part of this. Group man, it's so hard.
Oh man, that's hilarious. So it was, it was, it was
legendary. I remember 58 K was just like it
was that wall and you know, looking back two or three years,
I mean, what was the last? It was 2021, so looking back,
holy crap. Looking back three years later,
it's. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
The price on the one minute chart is rebounding.
Maybe we hit 58 K for one more time.
No, it just went back up 60. Yeah, I mean this crazy
volatility during today's show. Holy cow, ladies and gentlemen.
Strap in. It's going to be a wild 18
months. Mika, before we wrap this up,
Dennis, you are also working with Bitcoin companies and
making some content. So maybe, yeah, what?
What Bitcoin company are you working with?
Yeah, right now BTC times. Oh, they're all working kind.
Of BEAST. But yeah, both are just content
pages that, you know, provide Bitcoin education and the latest
news going on. But yeah, that's that's how
involved I am with the Bitcoin space at this point.
It's it's a lot of fun. I think that's pretty much how
so during like the 58K gang era, if you don't know, a lot of big
accounts were complaining about the price action.
So that's kind of like the point where we started doubling down
and saying oh we want 58 K to stay down forever with with the
help of people like SPF and Del Quan and all those other great
guys that I great guys, they they were, I guess they could
probably be part of the gang too.
But anyway it's we were kind of just doubling down on having fun
against like bigger accounts because it was causing such
frustration. And I think at this point it's
like, yeah, I I think you guys have gone through enough, we've
gone through enough enough of the the downside price action at
this point. I.
I appreciate that you wait wait wait Nico before we move on I
I'd actually I think there's there's what do you always say
Dennis Barry the lead I think there's some signal there
because a lot of people and and we get all the time in the chat
that are always asking like how can I help and and you know work
for Bitcoin and I think you're just like a perfect example of
like look just do stuff for companies and and maybe you can
find your way in the Bitcoin space.
So how did you get into just riding for BTC times or doing
any of the other content? The best time guys to be honest
is always to be involved in the bear market.
I mean, I started with Coin Beast in the summer of 2020.
It was a pretty neat time. You could you could get what
like a million Sats for, I don't know, like less than 100 bucks
or something like that. It was great, those.
Were the days that. Was $100.
No, it's like now it's $600.00 I still.
Do math at that that that me too.
Me. Too it was.
A great time, a great time to be involved in, you know, just
Bitcoin education. At that time, there was no,
there was really no competition at that at that point for riders
who wanted to like, write about Bitcoin.
That's kind of where I got started.
And then like month by month I do a piece for them every now
and then and then around, what was it, 2022?
Yeah, I got in contact with Gandalf because he was running
BTC times at the time and I was writing stories for him as well.
And then eventually it just led to the editor position there.
So I don't know, just just hang around be, you know be involved
with certain groups or certain channels Like even with simply
Bitcoin, there's always opportunities there that you
guys bring out all the time. Even mentioning companies like
all the all the viewers are from those companies and they might
be in the chat and you could just, I don't know, hit them up
in the chat or DM them directly on X or Twitter, whatever,
whatever they call. Now back in my day, when 58K
gang started, it was Twitter. But it's, yeah, just just have
fun along the way guys. That's really all I can say
because 20/21 was like a really a really dark time.
And I think that's why Octi was talking about it before.
It was like the golden era of like memes.
We we had nothing to do and a lot of people were really sad.
So it was like, all right, let's just let's just have fun online
and create a meme or I don't know, like I didn't, I didn't
plan 58K gang at all. It's just like, I'm going to do
this because I was having fun while everyone else was freaking
out about, like, I don't know, killer Hornets and forest fires
and stuff. In 2020, I was like, bro, I'm
just gonna have fun online too. Hell yeah.
Well, well, even though the suits are here, we can still
have fun guys. We can still enjoy our time as
we watch the field. You're wearing a Dolce and
Gabbana jacket. This is, I don't know, the
opti's like bull market, Like you're gonna start seeing gold
chains on OPTI. I already have already know I
already. Have you're going to start
seeing gold chain like bigger and thicker gold chains on Opti.
Well, well, well, well, Scarface.
Well, once. Once gold gets demonetized.
I've been saying this for a while.
I'm going to be as gaudy as possible and get gold
everywhere. And this isn't Dolce and
Gabbana. I had to look at the tag.
It's wax London. This is a flannel.
There's nothing special. It's just.
It's just just pretty I like it. Dolce Gabbana.
No, no, I'm not from Miami like you, bro.
I I just got some style all right.
Oh man, bro. Oh man.
