1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440
Long ago, when humanity only 
spoke one language, they decided

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,080
to build something magnificent. 
A tower. 

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,120
To the heavens they baked their 
bricks, and they bound them with

4
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:12,560
tar, and then they said, Come, 
let us make a name for 

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,800
ourselves, unless we be 
scattered over the whole earth. 

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,440
This is the story of the Tower 
of Babel. 

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,920
Early in the book of Genesis, 
there is a story about humanity 

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,560
being united by one language. 
And they were so enamored with 

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,240
themselves and their ego got so 
big that they decided to build a

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,880
monument, a tower. 
By doing so, what God did was he

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,600
scattered their tongues and 
scattered them across the earth 

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,960
so that everyone spoke different
languages. 

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,920
It's about society or humanity 
wanting to make a name for 

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,160
themselves. 
No, I know you're asking how 

15
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,840
does this relate to Bitcoin? 
The Tower of Babel wasn't just 

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,880
about height, it was about 
permanence. 

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,560
It was about humans trying to 
inscribe their value. 

18
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Into eternity it. 
Was the first monument to 

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,120
collective ego, but were 
followed wasn't unity, it was 

20
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,680
confusion. 
God scattered. 

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,080
Their tongues. 
And in a single instant, a 

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,000
shared network of understanding 
shattered into 1000 dialects. 

23
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,879
The story of Babel isn't about 
divine punishment. 

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,240
It's about what happens when the
language of meaning gets 

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,560
confused with the language of 
ambition. 

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
The apostle Paul says that he 
says God is not mocked for what 

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,520
a man sows that we also reap. 
And so I was like trying to 

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,240
think about this and I'm like, 
OK, like, so basically that's, 

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,120
that's saying there's no free 
lunches. 

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,240
You know, there's what, what you
sow, There's a there's a 

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,000
correlation, 100% correlation 
between what you do and and the 

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,920
consequence they're being 
consequence of that action. 

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,560
So I started to think about what
are, what are other ways, other 

34
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,880
places where you see this 
dynamic. 

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,960
First of all, that's just logic.
That's just how reason works. 

36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,400
Now, reason says, if this, then 
this, this is how you know, 

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,760
seeds work. 
You know, you reap what you sow,

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840
You know, we, you don't plant 
orange seeds and get apples. 

39
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
That's just not how it works. 
You get, you know, things that 

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,880
correspond with the kind of 
seeds you plant. 

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,760
And so again, the thing that I 
that really kind of hit me as I 

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840
was, you know, thinking about 
this was because I've been 

43
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,760
thinking about Bitcoin. 
Bitcoin is fresh in my mind, 

44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,160
which just like, OK, so Fiat 
money denies sowing and reaping 

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,960
like it denies this relationship
between, you know, there being a

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800
cost to the, the production of 
of money. 

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,760
Money has always been a kind of 
language, a way of saying I 

48
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,640
value this, you value that. 
A shared syntax of trust if you 

49
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:24,440
will. 
But somewhere along the way, our

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,920
financial tongue got scattered, 
too. 

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Once goal was the common speech 
of value. 

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,080
Then came a more dominant 
dialect, the dollar, much like 

53
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640
English. 
And then we began printing and 

54
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,040
printing and printing. 
And the more we printed, the 

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,440
less we said. 
The words lost weight. 

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880
The grammar broke the language 
of money once we read it in the 

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
scarcity of time now became a 
dialect of illusion. 

58
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,600
Walk through any museum and 
you'll hear the same story. 100 

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,720
tongues trying. 
To describe. 

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,920
Beauty, but no shared 
translation. 

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,960
That's our monetary system of 
today. 

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Many are. 
Speaking if you were listening. 

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,440
The euro, the yen, the peso, the
yuan, each an attempt to rebuild

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480
the tower. 
And like Babel, every empire's 

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,360
tower collapses under the weight
of their own misunderstanding. 

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,680
Because when the unit of value 
can be conjured by decree, it 

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,400
can be inflated or manipulated, 
redefined, it stops being the 

68
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,520
language of truth. 
And it starts just. 

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Being noise now, how does 
Bitcoin fit? 

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Into all this, well, let's. 
Explore. 

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,800
But before we do, we're going to
need some gearsat123.com offers

If the Tower of Babel was the 

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,840
beginning of dispersal, Bitcoin 
might be the beginning of 

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,760
reunification. 
Because beneath the noise of 

81
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360
modern finance, beneath 
trillions of printed words and 

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720
worthless promises, a new 
language emerged. 

83
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Not one spoken by governments or
banks, but written in code. 

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,440
You know, there's something that
music, math, chess, and Bitcoin 

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,600
all have in common, and that's 
that they all speak one language

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760
that everyone can understand. 
They are all languages that have

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,240
a clear rule set, regardless of 
your native tongue. 

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,600
I could be a French speaker, but
I'll read the same jazz as an 

89
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760
English speaker. 2 + 2 + 4. 
Whether you're in Kyoto or 

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160
Kansas, AC major chord sounds 
the same in any year. 

91
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,320
A Bishop. 
Always travels in diagonals. 

92
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,560
A Bitcoin transaction is true 
for everyone, everywhere, all 

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,160
at. 
Once. 

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Bitcoin gives us a Ledger that 
everyone can read. 

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Where Fiat required 
interpreters, central banks, 

96
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,240
clearing houses, intermediaries,
Bitcoin removes them. 

97
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,920
Two people anywhere on earth can
now speak the same monetary 

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,280
tongue, and they can verify. 
What the other says? 

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Where Fiat scattered us through 
distortion, Bitcoin unites us 

100
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,680
through verification. 
Where old systems required 

101
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,720
belief, Bitcoin demands truth. 
The people who built the Tower 

102
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
of Babel thought they were as 
great as God, but God severed 

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,040
their communication lines. 
When communication fails in 

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880
civilization, no one trusts each
other. 

105
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,560
And what do you think the dollar
is doing right now? 

106
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240
It's causing us all to mistrust 
our prices around us, our very 

107
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,480
communication system between us,
regardless of our native tongue.

108
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Prices are a communication 
system much like chess, music, 

109
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,240
or Bitcoin. 
Just another way that people 

110
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,520
that don't speak the same 
language can speak the same 

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,240
language, but the dollar 
distorts those prices rapidly. 

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160
So we are finding it harder and 
harder to communicate. 

113
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Bitcoin fixes those 
communication lines with its 21 

114
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,080
million hard supply cap. 
Self sovereignty, its ability to

115
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,160
hold it by yourself. 
The mechanics of bitcoins policy

116
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160
are built within it. 
It doesn't need an entire system

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,320
around it to make decisions 
about which 2%, three percent, 

118
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,640
4% inflation rate. 
So maybe building the tower 

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760
wasn't the sin. 
Maybe it was just the attempt to

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,880
do so. 
From Babel to Bitcoin, we're not

121
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,600
just rebuilding a new tower, 
we're rediscovering a new 

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,560
language. 
I'm Tom with the weather back to
