1
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,300
Yeah welcome to another episode 
of Simply Bitcoin live. 

2
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,700
Your number one source for the 
peaceful Bitcoin Revolution 

3
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:19,300
record, breaking news culture 
magic Warfare. 

4
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,000
We will be your guide through 
the separation of money and 

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,100
state we're back. 
We took a little bit of a break 

6
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,800
due to the biggest Bitcoin 
conference on the face of the 

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,500
Earth Bitcoin 2023. 
So amazing seeing a lot of you 

8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:38,600
guys in the flesh in person. 
Really really appreciated. 

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,200
All the hugs, all the love Opti 
You know, got his cherry popped,

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,700
he was on the analyst desk for 
the first time. 

11
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:50,900
I think he I think he absolutely
killed it so exciting times but 

12
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:56,200
I think the signal was really 
some of the talks to me 

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,700
personally. 
One of my favorite was RF K Jr. 

14
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,500
Who is currently running for 
president, and he said some 

15
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,500
things that we're going to talk 
about today. 

16
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,800
And of course, another highlight
for me personally was Tulsi 

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,700
gabbard and she had an 
incredible speech. 

18
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:15,000
As well. 
And I got to meet her in person,

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,200
which was, it was amazing. 
So, definitely highlights. 

20
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,100
And the reason I'm focusing on 
those two specifically, is 

21
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,700
because we've seen, did this 
trend of partisanship 

22
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,900
specifically when it comes to 
bitcoin, like, it was the 

23
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,900
Republicans that are being a 
little bit more open-minded to 

24
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:35,700
it, but what I, and I said this 
also at the conference, the fact

25
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,900
that it's two Democrats or Tulsi
gabbard that was a Democrat, she

26
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,200
kind of stepped away but RFK jr.
Who's running as a mark rat, 

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,300
right? 
So now it's bipartisan and this 

28
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,200
is exactly what we want to 
happen. 

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,800
We don't want Bitcoin to become 
a partisan issue because it's 

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,300
not a partisan issue. 
It helps everybody equally 

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,300
right. 
So beautiful. 

32
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:57,500
Beautiful Trend. 
And again, I can't believe we 

33
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,200
have a person who's currently in
second place trailing Joe Biden.

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:09,199
You know, basically making the 
case for bitcoiners as to why 

35
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,500
bitcoiners should vote for him. 
And we've said this, Many times 

36
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:15,700
on the show, it's not Red vs. 
Blue Republican versus Democrat 

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,200
it´s, Orange versus green. 
And I'm glad he's on the party 

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,800
of green, you know? 
So very, very bullish about 

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,400
that. 
But before we start the show, 

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,300
when I bring up my legendary 
co-host. 

41
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:28,900
Always optimistic Opti. 
How you doing today, bro? 

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
How do you feel crazy crazy 
week, man? 

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,700
I feel great. 
I was just telling out everyone 

44
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,900
in spaces. 
It was an absolute Love Fest and

45
00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:39,600
it feels good to get your 
battery recharged with fellow 

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,400
lunatics out there. 
So, you know, shouts out to 

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,100
every single. 
One of you guys that came up to 

48
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,600
me, showed me love it, meant a 
lot. 

49
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,900
It's really inspiring that, you 
know, Nico and I can just talk 

50
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,700
into a computer and provide you 
guys value, and you guys 

51
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:59,200
incorporate us into your life 
and it's just, it blows my mind,

52
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,800
this internet stuff. 
This this magic internet money 

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,900
really is an incredible 
incredible technology and tldr 

54
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:10,400
guys, we are winning and it's 
becoming more and more obvious 

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000
that we are winning. 
It is World and everyone else is

56
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,200
just living in it. 
So it feels good, man. 

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,300
It really, it really feels good 
to be on this side of Bitcoin 

58
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,500
content creation and seeing all 
the work that the Bitcoin mag 

59
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,100
team. 
Did all the work that all the 

60
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,400
bitcoiners did at the 
conference. 

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,700
And it's just beautiful, man. 
It's just it really does feel 

62
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,500
good in that. 
Obviously, I would have liked to

63
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,800
stay in Miami, a little longer, 
but hey, we got to get back on 

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
the mission and get back to 
work. 

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,100
So, here we are. 
Here we are, but Nico. 

66
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:42,700
I can tell I can tell. 
Oh, you're still recovering a 

67
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:44,500
little bit. 
Your voice isn't fully back. 

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,200
Yeah, I'm recovering a little 
bit, my hair. 

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,100
My hair is still Kim. 
Is this guy? 

70
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,400
My hair is still tipped. 
If you guys want to know what 

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,300
happened, watch the previous 
live show. 

72
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,600
I think that we recorded last 
Tuesday. 

73
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:59,800
Also want to bring up very 
special guest, and actually a 

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,600
good good friend of mine. 
Consider him a brother, Chris 

75
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Alamo. 
He's also the genius. 

76
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:10,200
He's he's, he's a lot of the lot
of the brains behind the, the 

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,700
media organization over there. 
Coin magazine. 

78
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,200
How You Doing? 
Crystal Mo absolute, by the way.

79
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,500
Absolutely slayed it. 
On the analyst desk. 

80
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:22,400
This guy was such a professional
vote for Chris. 

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,900
I would vote for Craig would 
totally vote for Chris too. 

82
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:26,500
I don't want that 
responsibility. 

83
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,900
I saw vague saying simply 
Bitcoin recovering from Miami. 

84
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:32,500
Bitcoin magazine is definitely 
recovering from Miami, but no, 

85
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:35,100
truly a pleasure is guys. 
Thank you for having me here. 

86
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:36,900
You guys crush it on the news 
desk, as well. 

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,100
So glad to give you guys the 
opportunity to be up there. 

88
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:40,700
I had a fun time. 
Yeah, man. 

89
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,400
Well, I'm happy to hear. 
In the show. 

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,900
And today, we're going to talk 
about some things that happen at

91
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,200
the conference probably 
throughout the week. 

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,600
We're going to talk about some 
things that happened the other 

93
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,700
throughout the conference. 
But today, specifically we're 

94
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,000
going to, we're going to cover 
RFK, Junior and some of his 

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,300
comments, some videos that he 
was in and we'll take it from 

96
00:04:58,300 --> 00:04:59,800
there. 
Anyways, guys, no more delay. 

97
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Let's jump straight into the 
show. 

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,100
Let's do it. 
The Bitcoin numbers brought to 

99
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,000
you by not all at this point. 
You should be running your own 

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Bitcoin note. 
If you don't use your own 

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,100
Bitcoin node, you're trusting 
someone else's run your own 

102
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,000
version of Bitcoin core. 
The lightning Network, 

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,200
whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
comfort of your own home. 

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,600
And if your digital Nomad, you 
have absolutely no excuse 

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,300
because now you can run a novel 
through a virtual private 

106
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,500
server. 
Visit not L.E you today. 

107
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:33,300
Guys, I want to tell you about 
the biggest Going conference on 

108
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,700
the face of the Earth. 
It's I can't say it's coming up.

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,600
It's exactly a year from now 
Bitcoin 2024. 

110
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:46,100
They relocated it's going to be 
in Nashville Tennessee which is 

111
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,900
freaking awesome. 
I consider it a I consider. 

112
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,300
So there's two cities that I 
really consider hubs, right? 

113
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,100
There's Austin which is like the
Bitcoin energy Hub and then 

114
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,900
there's Nashville which I 
consider the cultural Hub 

115
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:02,800
Bitcoin magazine headquarters or
their Bitcoin Park is There, 

116
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,700
it's freaking awesome. 
If you guys have never been, I 

117
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,900
definitely disagree at excuse to
make the pilgrimage again,

the market capitalization of 

131
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,300
Bitcoin five hundred and twenty 
billion dollars with the B and 

132
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,100
the grand scheme of things. 
Bitcoin is still a baby anyways.

133
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,800
An honor of Peaks today. 
Here's maybe an unknown fact for

134
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,500
you but this is check out this 
tweet by JP underscore 

135
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:18,400
technology and he says on 
bitcoin Peaks today Lazlo. 

136
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000
Hi hon, desk. 
Sorry guys. 

137
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,300
You know how bad I am. 
I pronouncing things is credited

138
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:27,400
with performing Bitcoins first 
real world transaction, offering

139
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,700
10,000 Bitcoin to whoever 
whoever would order him to 

140
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:36,100
pieces Right. 
Mind you that's like 276 million

141
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,800
dollars today and a lot of 
people like why would he do 

142
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,500
that? 
Whatever you have to understand 

143
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,800
that nothing existed like 
Bitcoin before, like the idea 

144
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
that this thing would somehow 
value which is so odd to have 

145
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,300
values. 
So obvious in hindsight was not 

146
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,200
obvious whatsoever back, then, 
right? 

147
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200
It was just kind of like this 
magic internet money experiment,

148
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:59,300
but as soon as this transaction 
was made all of a sudden Bitcoin

149
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,500
had value discs, gave it value, 
right? 

150
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:05,400
Which is why I think it's such a
significant event. 

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,100
But here what I love about the 
sweetest, it shows the other 

152
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,300
side of the story. 
So but perhaps the true hero is 

153
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:17,000
Jeremy stirred Sturdivant. 
Who chose Bitcoin /, / Peak saw 

154
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:21,400
over dollars by accepting Hines 
X offer. 

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,300
So this guy made 10,000 Bitcoin 
for accepting. 

156
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,700
He, you know, he accepted 
Bitcoin instead of dollars, and 

157
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,600
if he hot He had old if hehad 
old, he'd be worth two hundred 

158
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,200
and seventy six million dollars 
today. 

159
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:44,800
Holy crap, Legend. 
But again, did he hotle is like,

160
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,600
think about it. 
Like, if you're holding 10,000 

161
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Bitcoins, all of a sudden 
Bitcoin goes up, to two, or 

162
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,000
three or four dollars, you're 
like, holy crap, you know, I 

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,400
made a fortune, it's only again,
it's only in hindsight where 

164
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,000
these things become obvious. 
So this is what I want to talk 

165
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
about today. 
The big news is Robert Kennedy 

166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,200
jr. 
Related. 

167
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,500
To President, Kennedy of the 
1960s. 

168
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:09,300
I got assassinated and he made, 
he made his first public 

169
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,600
appearance as a presidential 
candidate. 

170
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:15,500
The Bitcoin 20:23 conference. 
That's a very big statement, 

171
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:17,800
right? 
So, in politics or these 

172
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,700
announcements, don't take these 
types of things lately. 

173
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,400
It's not a coincidence. 
It was a, it was a strategic 

174
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,400
move and I'll play a part of his
speech that he made that. 

175
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800
He said all the right things 
like this is, he was Very pretty

176
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,100
well, prepared to talk to 
bitcoiners. 

177
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:36,800
I'm going to play it for you 
guys and then we'll talk about 

178
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,700
it. our campaign will be the 
first presidential campaign in 

179
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:51,700
history, to accept Bitcoin 
donations through Through the 

180
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:55,700
lightning Network. 
And today, we move one step 

181
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:59,000
closer to the Future. 
Today, we show the world, the 

182
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,500
power, and the durability, and 
he flexibility of Bitcoin. 

183
00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:09,300
I want to conclude by saying, as
almost everyone in this room is 

184
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:13,200
aware of the link between 
Bitcoin and democracy and 

185
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,600
freedom. 
And that's why almost everybody 

186
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,700
I met that. 
I need who is involved in, 

187
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:24,800
Bitcoin is passionate about it. 
It's, they're not passionate 

188
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,800
because it's an interesting 
currency are passionate because 

189
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,500
of the deep representation of a 
deep need that we have our 

190
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,500
Liberty and democracy. 
See and the promise that this 

191
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:41,700
innovation has to guarantee 
those virtues. 

192
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Oh. 
And we we are now living in this

193
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,800
age of TurnKey totalitarianism 
with this emerging technology, 

194
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:54,700
which can Empower totalitarian 
regimes. 

195
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,600
And our job is to try to build 
and fortify Democratic 

196
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,700
institutions at the same rate as
that totalitarian, instruments 

197
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,600
are being expanded and their 
power. 

198
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Things like AI, which really are
going to threaten democracy at 

199
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,700
its base. 
We need to not be chipping away 

200
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:15,600
at our Democratic institutions. 
We need to be fortified in the 

201
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:19,400
ones that exist and building new
ones in the biggest most 

202
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800
important. 
One on the horizon is Bitcoin, 

203
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:26,000
because it can't be manipulated 
all of you. 

204
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I know are here again, not 
because you love it currency, 

205
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,900
but because you love our 
country, love democracy, love 

206
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:36,800
freedom, and in that sense, your
support of Bitcoin, puts you in 

207
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,400
the same category as the framers
of the Constitution that gave us

208
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000
that bill of right that created 
these democratic. 

209
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:48,100
Matush ins and you are the 
current manifestation of that 

210
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,300
impulse. 
So thank you all very much for 

211
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,600
everything. 
Thank you for being part of this

212
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,000
movement. 
Yeah, absolutely I heard someone

213
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,900
mention you know that something 
about his voice eat so he has a 

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,700
he has a neurological disability
now that that's why he speaks 

215
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,200
that way for anyone who doesn't 
know. 

216
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Anyways so I actually kind of 
wanted to focus on some things 

217
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,700
that he said as well specific 
things that he would protect as 

218
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,100
president. 
And I know a lot of You're 

219
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,900
inherently anti-politics, you're
inherently anti-politics 

220
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,900
politicians. 
And the the case that I always 

221
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,500
make is sure maybe after the 
transition politics become 

222
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,900
irrelevant, if you read the 
book, The sovereign individual, 

223
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:30,600
they make that they make a case 
for that. 

224
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,700
Right? 
I tend to agree with the theory 

225
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,200
but it's during the transition 
period that politicians can make

226
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,900
your life a living. 
Hell specifically if you live 

227
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,500
in, in a certain jurisdiction, 
right? 

228
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,900
So you know, like I always said,
There's going to be an 

229
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:47,700
inevitable clash between the 
party of green, the party of 

230
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,000
orange and we better hope we 
have as many people. 

231
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,900
Powerful people influential 
people on the side of orange 

232
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,900
when that class happens or maybe
there isn't a class. 

233
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:03,200
Maybe this is like, it's a slow,
it's a slow transition. 

234
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,100
Anyways, goes on to say, quote 
as president, I will make sure 

235
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:11,600
that your right to hold and use 
Bitcoin is in in voluble. 

236
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Kennedy said, I am an ardent. 
Fender and a lifelong defender 

237
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,400
of civil liberties. 
As was his, you know as was his 

238
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,400
relative John F Kennedy. 
And Bitcoin is both an exercise 

239
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,700
and a guarantee of those 
freedoms who none of these law, 

240
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,600
none of these lawful and 
peaceful protesters had violated

241
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,800
any law. 
But suddenly they found that 

242
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,200
they could not access their 
money, their bank accounts to 

243
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,300
pay their mortgages or feed 
their families, quote. 

244
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,600
When I witnessed this 
devastating use of government 

245
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,800
repression. 
I really realized for the first 

246
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,200
time how free money? 
Is important as free expression.

247
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Of course, he's talking about 
the the the trucker's protest, 

248
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,500
which I might add, you know, 
Bitcoin magazine did an 

249
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,400
incredible job supporting. 
I know that you guys released a 

250
00:13:57,408 --> 00:13:59,500
cover specifically covering 
that. 

251
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:02,500
So I'm very thankful for you 
guys doing that over there, 

252
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:06,100
Chris goes on to say, Kennedy 
has publicly expressed his 

253
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:09,300
support for Bitcoin since May 
20, 23 acknowledging, a 

254
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:10,900
knowledge. 
In its separation from other 

255
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,000
cryptocurrencies and indicating 
that legislator legislature. 

256
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,600
You should support its 
development rather than hinder 

257
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
it as with regulations. 
Like the B administration's 

258
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,600
proposed tax on energy used by 
miners on stage. 

259
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,300
He reinforces distaste for such 
regulations and he outlined the 

260
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:29,500
steps. 
His administration would take to

261
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:34,500
drive Bitcoin innovation in the 
u.s. goes on to say, firstly 

262
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:37,200
first I will defend the right of
self custody of Bitcoin and 

263
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,400
other digital assets. 
He said second I will uphold the

264
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,100
uphold the right to run a node 
at home. 

265
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Third I will I'll defend use 
neutral industry, neutral 

266
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,300
regulation of energy forth. 
I will make sure that the United

267
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,100
States Remains the Global Hub of
Bitcoin and other 

268
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,700
cryptocurrencies. 
I will reverse the government's 

269
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,700
growing hostility towards the 
industry. 

270
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Finally said that he would look 
closely at whether individuals 

271
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
like Ross ulbricht, the founder 
of darknet Bilk. 

272
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:09,000
The founder of Silk Road, who 
received a double life sentence,

273
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:12,500
where prosecute were prosecuted,
quote, for actual crimes, or as 

274
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:13,900
a meme to crap. 
Crap. 

275
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:18,700
Down on crypto, went on to say I
will consider parting him and I 

276
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:24,400
will act very quickly to do so 
not direct confirmation. 

277
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,800
But yeah. 
And I think that the most 

278
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,000
influential part of all, this is
the fact that this was his first

279
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:33,200
major Pub. 
No. 

280
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,400
His first public appearance as 
an official presidential 

281
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,700
candidate, this is crazy. 
I could not have imagined it to 

282
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,800
go this quickly. 
He sends, you know, the original

283
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,100
Announcement by name, bouquet, 
lay Bitcoin 2021 like things 

284
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,500
have moved so quickly. 
The end, I said this on the 

285
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,200
analyst desk, I'm going to say 
it again here. 

286
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:02,000
There is a nonzero chance that 
we have a pro Bitcoin anti CBD. 

287
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,400
See president in the White House
in 2024, not only on the 

288
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Democratic side, but also on the
rub Republican side with 

289
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,900
Governor Ron DeSantis and he 
just signed into law in the 

290
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,900
Eight State of Florida and anti 
Central Bank. 

291
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:20,200
Digital currency bill. 
This is absolutely incredible. 

292
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,700
We know Trump doesn't like 
Bitcoin. 

293
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:23,600
He's very blunt about why he 
doesn't like it. 

294
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,900
He says the quiet part out loud 
and then the by demonstration, 

295
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:29,200
they don't like to say the quiet
part out loud but they clearly 

296
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,900
don't don't like that. 
So, you know, and the reason for

297
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:34,100
that is simple, we've talked 
about this many times we've 

298
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:35,700
beat. 
We've beat this dead horse a 

299
00:16:35,708 --> 00:16:39,400
million times and you know, the 
Santa said it right? 

300
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,200
Just not just crazy. 
Bitcoin are saying it, obviously

301
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,900
they want to control the bunny, 
you control? 

302
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Money, you control people and 
they want to maintain the 

303
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200
privilege of being able to 
create money for free that the 

304
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,300
rest of us have to work for, 
right? 

305
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:54,400
So these politicians that have 
benefited tremendously from the 

306
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,000
system, obviously going to be a 
hostile Bitcoin, but I want to 

307
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,300
applaud the Bitcoin magazine 
team. 

308
00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:05,599
You guys did an incredible job, 
getting him all seats also Tulsi

309
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,300
gabbard as well. 
I suspect these Bitcoin 

310
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:13,300
conferences, they're amazing 
because they break the echo 

311
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,500
chamber. 
Aren't people that irregular go 

312
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:19,700
on bitcoin podcast? 
These are mainstream officials 

313
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
that are talking about this and 
they're talking about the ethos 

314
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,700
of Bitcoin of the benefits of 
Bitcoin. 

315
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:29,200
So, you know, hats off to you 
Chris and the whole Bitcoin 

316
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,100
magazine team. 
You guys absolutely slate it and

317
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:37,100
I can't wait for Bitcoin, 2024 
in Nashville. 

318
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,100
What type of guess you guys are 
going to book their that's going

319
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:41,600
to be very, very exciting as 
well. 

320
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,900
So Chris, what's your take? 
And then we'll pass it on top. 

321
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Opti. 
Yeah, definitely. 

322
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,000
I got a lot of points. 
I think it was a great 

323
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,900
conversation. 
It's definitely doing really, 

324
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:52,200
really well on YouTube. 
So obviously the mainstream, the

325
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,400
masses are loving it as well. 
First point you mentioned the 

326
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,000
lightning Network, I know 
Bitcoin gets hit a lot by 

327
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,400
calling it a boomer technology, 
you know, a lot of other 

328
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,200
cryptocurrencies. 
Say there's no innovation, it's 

329
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,400
not fast, it's slow takes 10 
minutes. 

330
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:08,600
He mentioned that you can donate
using the lightning that Mark, I

331
00:18:08,608 --> 00:18:11,400
think that's fast and political 
candidate presidential, 

332
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,900
political candidate to accept 
Bitcoin. 

333
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,700
He knew the difference between 
on chain Bitcoin, and lightning,

334
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,100
you know, lightning Network and 
the light, using the lightning 

335
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,800
Network to donate, I think it 
was very fascinating that he 

336
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,000
mentioned the Canadian. 
Truckers we have the chance, 

337
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,500
Nico Opti, and myself to talk to
be TC sessions and talking 

338
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:31,000
about, like, learning from the 
mistakes of the Canadian 

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,300
truckers protest. 
And obviously, when you use the 

340
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:35,800
aunt, when you use on chain 
Bitcoin, there's inherent risk 

341
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,300
to being kyc. 
So if you bought your I mean, 

342
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,000
from kyc exchange, when the 
Canadian government did a 

343
00:18:41,008 --> 00:18:44,500
Crackdown basically they were 
able to say, hey Kris, bought it

344
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:48,800
from Finance coinbase, whatever 
exchange, you strike Swan, 

345
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,300
whatever. 
And if they force companies to 

346
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:54,300
Doc's, who bought Bitcoin and 
what the addresses were from, 

347
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,700
basically you can get docks when
you're using the lightning 

348
00:18:57,700 --> 00:18:59,400
Network. 
It's not inherently private for 

349
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,600
someone that's receiving the 
Bitcoin, but it is more private 

350
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,900
for someone sending Bitcoin. 
So this is a good thing for 

351
00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:07,500
donations. 
If I'd wanted to donate to RFK, 

352
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,500
I don't have to Doc's Who I Am 
by sending it over the lightning

353
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:11,800
Network. 
I think this is a very important

354
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,100
thing. 
It keeps anonymity involved and 

355
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:17,300
it helps protect basically that 
if someone gets in office is 

356
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,400
that they don't like this 
Bitcoin thing, you donate to 

357
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,200
RFK, you're like on a list. 
Now, for the government, this is

358
00:19:22,208 --> 00:19:24,200
a way to keep it more private, 
which I think is a big one 

359
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
percent. 
Like like I said, this was a big

360
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,100
thing for the masses. 
Obviously, RFK is a Kennedy. 

361
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,900
He it's like a family name. 
Obviously, his uncle was a 

362
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:34,100
president. 
That was unfortunately. 

363
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:37,800
It's a sedated back in the 60s 
but he's a known name. 

364
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,500
That's Well known to like the 
masses and people all over the 

365
00:19:40,508 --> 00:19:42,200
world. 
So I think this is very 

366
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,500
important because you're like 
hey you know RFK, the Kennedys 

367
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:47,700
always talking about Bitcoin, 
I've never heard about Bitcoin 

368
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:50,100
before or oh like, wow. 
This is very interesting. 

369
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:52,700
It was that a Bitcoin conference
and its first time talking, was 

370
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:54,200
that a Bitcoin conference that's
interesting. 

371
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:56,600
It makes someone that's never 
heard of Bitcoin or it's like 

372
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,800
their first touch point to be 
like. 

373
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,100
Wow, a presidential candidate is
thinking about Bitcoin. 

374
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,700
Maybe this is important 
technology important protocol 

375
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,900
and important money that I 
should look into. 

376
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,800
So I hope that this helps break 
up the masses to understand and 

377
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,000
go Oh, like down the rabbit hole
of what is bitcoin. 

378
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,900
I think it's very important that
we had Vivek ramaswamy. 

379
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:15,200
Who's a republican? 
We had Tulsi gabbard who is an 

380
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,100
independent or she was a 
Democrat, what like leaning more

381
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:20,200
Republican, conservative. 
And now, she's kind of an 

382
00:20:20,208 --> 00:20:22,800
independent and then we had RFK,
who's a Democrat. 

383
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,300
So we basically have covering 
all our bases that at this is 

384
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,100
bipartisan money. 
This is not a partisan issue, 

385
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:31,200
you know, it's four, Democrats, 
four, Republicans, or people 

386
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,200
that are politically homeless. 
Like, I think it's, that's very,

387
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,600
very important. 
One more thing and I hate to put

388
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,800
my Niko Jones hat on Here but 
Bitcoin magazine. 

389
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,900
We're obviously monitoring a lot
of you know, conservative 

390
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,600
Twitter, profile handles 
Democratic Twitter profile, 

391
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,600
profile handles and all this the
Democrats or I forget which 

392
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,500
handle it was but they were 
listing if Biden is going to run

393
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:56,200
in 2020 for, you know, basically
Biden was at the top, then 

394
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000
Kamala Harris was second then 
Clinton and there's a list of 

395
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,300
other Democrats. 
RFK was not listed as a 

396
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:05,000
potential for winning the 
election and showing percentages

397
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,800
of like what people think they 
were. 

398
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,200
And then there was also another 
other column for if he doesn't 

399
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,800
run, it was basically Kamala. 
Harris was the top then then 

400
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,900
Hillary Clinton was second and 
then a bunch of other Democrats.

401
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:17,300
Once again, he was not listed in
the poll for either for thinking

402
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:19,100
that he has a chance of winning.
And there were some Democrats 

403
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,700
that were like polling at less 
than half a percent. 

404
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:24,000
It's like, oh, it's very 
interesting that they didn't 

405
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,700
include Robert Kennedy, Robert F
Kennedy jr. 

406
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,700
On their polling list for 
potential candidate to win. 

407
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:32,600
So very, very interesting. 
Why the mainstream media and the

408
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,700
mainstream? 
I guess, the political leap to 

409
00:21:35,700 --> 00:21:37,800
the Democratic class are not 
including them. 

410
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Even though he is a Democrat by 
name. 

411
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,200
Very, very interesting. 
I will reiterate one last point.

412
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,100
I'll send it over to you guys Q.
My good friend Q guy. 

413
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:49,300
Amy, that was on the news desk. 
A bunch for us at this year's 

414
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:51,300
conference. 
He said, don't trust verify, 

415
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,600
he's like we've been burned. 
One too many times by 

416
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,200
politicians, he will say that. 
He really loved what RFK was 

417
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,800
saying, he said his scriptwriter
and everything, they nailed it 

418
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,800
on the head in this talk. 
He thinks it was the best of the

419
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,200
three political candidates for 
talking about Bitcoin and 

420
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,800
everything, but don't trust 
verify We've been burned one too

421
00:22:08,808 --> 00:22:12,200
many times by Eric Adams of New 
York and many other politicians 

422
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,400
basically, using Bitcoin to try 
and grift to try and gain votes 

423
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,800
to try and gain their donations.
Only for them to do a 180 and 

424
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,100
flip on us and say, oh, Bitcoins
bad for the environment or 

425
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:22,400
mining is bad for the 
environment. 

426
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,600
So while I am very happy with 
RFK, you know, making his first 

427
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,900
stop at our conference and like,
saying to the masses, like this 

428
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,300
is definitely good for people to
wake up and learn about Bitcoin,

429
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,600
but don't trust them like, you 
know, believe in their actions 

430
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,200
not in what they say. 
So I'll be very very interesting

431
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,900
to see if he gets Office or even
what he says throughout the 

432
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,100
trail regarding Bitcoin going 
forward. 

433
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:45,200
So I hope that was a good recap 
back over to you optio when he 

434
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,800
wasn't no and I can't read her 
reiterate that enough. 

435
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Like Chris, I think you hit the 
nail on the head, right. 

436
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,200
It's it don't trust verify, you 
know, but I think the signal and

437
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,500
you buried the lead there, a 
little bit was if you see 

438
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:03,600
independent polls, he's actually
in second place is 19% support. 

439
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:07,800
And the Democratic, I don't call
it mainstream media anymore. 

440
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,900
Or I think independent content 
creators are like the mainstream

441
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:12,700
media now. 
And I think that, you know, as 

442
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:15,200
time progressed in next, 5-10 
years Legacy, Media will 

443
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,700
continue to die off. 
And like the truth Sayer is that

444
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:22,100
were on Legacy Media and Chris 
me and you have gone back and 

445
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:23,700
forth on this. 
Like one of the biggest 

446
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:26,100
proponents of Bitcoin was 
Tucker. 

447
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:29,300
Carlson second, most popular 
broadcaster in the world. 

448
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:33,400
Trailing Joe Rogan 3.5, average 
views, and listens per episode, 

449
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:36,900
and he was taken off air, right?
So, it's interesting, right? 

450
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:41,000
Like the But per the Bitcoin 
supporters for some reason, it's

451
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,900
like this can't happen. 
And one other interesting part 

452
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,800
is like the apparently, the 
Democratic National Convention, 

453
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,500
they don't even want to have a 
debate between RFK and bited. 

454
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:55,100
They don't even want to allow 
debate. 

455
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,100
So and that is unprecedented in 
American history. 

456
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:01,800
Like that doesn't happen, right?
This is this is some crazy 

457
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:05,700
totalitarian stuff. 
I think this is not just a 

458
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:08,000
Democrat thing. 
I think this is the unipart He 

459
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,300
fighting back trying to protect 
their moat trying to protect 

460
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:14,100
their privilege of being able to
create money for free. 

461
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,700
That everyone else has to work 
for in order to fund the endless

462
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:22,700
Wars and all the other programs 
and things of which, you know, 

463
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:26,100
the bill overcharged for certain
things and they'll pocket the 

464
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:29,200
difference, right? 
It's not a coincidence that 

465
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,900
Nancy Pelosi and you know to 
just to name one there's plenty 

466
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,700
have hundred million dollar, 
net. 

467
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:37,800
Worths how do you and Elizabeth 
Warren to say it? 

468
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:41,800
Straight have, you know, 50 to 
100 million dollar net where 

469
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,200
it's, and they're on a 
government salary out, is that 

470
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,100
happened, you know, a lot of 
questions there. 

471
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:50,300
So, you know, it makes sense why
they would fight back anyways. 

472
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:53,800
Opti, what's your take on this? 
I know that opt he's not a fan 

473
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,100
of politicians whatsoever. 
So what's your take on this 

474
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:58,500
brother? 
Yeah, well obviously I agree 

475
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:02,000
with you guys and my take is a 
little more cynical which is 

476
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,100
kind of what Q was saying, like 
chefs out to the big Corner that

477
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,800
wrote RFK speech or rather maybe
just briefed him. 

478
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:10,700
Come on bitcoin because he 
absolutely slayed it. 

479
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:14,600
RFK basically said, almost all 
the right things and it is 

480
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,100
beautiful to see that the 
Bitcoin message is getting 

481
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,300
outside of just all of us on 
Twitter. 

482
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,100
And what do we talk about all 
the time here? 

483
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:24,700
It's the importance of breaking,
the Bitcoin Echo chamber and 

484
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,300
like I say it all the time and 
Niko mentioned like I am 

485
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:30,400
fundamentally distrustful 
politics but something that Nico

486
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,900
told me and it really, really 
sunk in is we don't have to 

487
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:36,600
trust him if his incentives are 
aligned with Bitcoin. 

488
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,700
Then we may be On the Vanguard 
of a new political game. 

489
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,700
And let's not forget that 
politics is all about power and 

490
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:44,400
the money printer fuels that 
power. 

491
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:50,100
So I think we are starting to 
see a New Horizon here and it's 

492
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,200
kind of kudos to the Bitcoin mag
team and all of us that are 

493
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,200
trying to break out of the echo 
chamber because we don't have to

494
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,100
convince each other about 
Bitcoin being right. 

495
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,900
It's about trying to convince 
the Normie out there that. 

496
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:06,300
Hey, maybe we have something 
here that you want to use. 

497
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,900
That will improve your life that
Escapes you from the Fiat Rat 

498
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,400
Race. 
So it is very interesting to see

499
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,900
a Pradesh, presidential 
candidate or potential 

500
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:17,900
presidential candidate, endorse 
Bitcoin again cynical. 

501
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:21,100
Take as someone that skeptical 
politics, it does feel a lot 

502
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,700
like I like Bitcoin. 
Send me Bitcoin Vibes so I will 

503
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:29,200
be a little mindful of not being
fully endorsing a presidential 

504
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,300
candidate but again it's 
something we say all the time 

505
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:37,800
that Bitcoin is breaking into 
the mainstream. 

506
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,500
Aim and bitcoiners are becoming 
one of the biggest and largest 

507
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,100
voting blocks in the world. 
So I love hearing him. 

508
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:48,100
Talk about what we talked about 
and I don't think we need to be 

509
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,300
allowed to use Bitcoin. 
The Imperial City has no power 

510
00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:53,100
here. 
You don't need permission to run

511
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:55,500
an Ode to stack SATs and take 
Bitcoin into self. 

512
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:59,000
Custody, it's permissionless 
monetary Network by Design, the 

513
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,100
most inclusive and fair money in
the world. 

514
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,500
So it is awesome to see. 
It starting to become a 

515
00:27:03,508 --> 00:27:08,500
bipartisan issue. 
But again I'm a I'm a paranoid. 

516
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:10,000
Big corner. 
I'm skeptical politics in 

517
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,600
general because we know like 
Chris said that we've been 

518
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,700
burned in the past. 
Yeah, Opti just following up off

519
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:20,100
that we're seeing the sovereign 
individual play out politician. 

520
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,800
Bitcoin doesn't need politicians
politicians, need Bitcoin, 

521
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,500
that's for the point that we're 
at right now. 

522
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:28,400
Very hundred percent 100%. 
So we'll stay on top of this 

523
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,200
guy's as it develops but uh holy
crap. 

524
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,900
I can't believe we are here in 
the movie. 

525
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,400
Have boy oh boy have things 
escalated very very quickly it 

526
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,900
was really you know 2020 Bitcoin
2021. 

527
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,900
This is Jack mahler's speech, 9 
bouquet Lee and things have 

528
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:47,600
accelerated. 
And I think next cycle, Michael 

529
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600
sailor is going to be Vindicated
in the public company front and 

530
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,200
on the nation. 
State level 9 bouquet is going 

531
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,800
to be Vindicated as well. 
And I know we're over the Target

532
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,500
because the Legacy corporate 
media is absolutely going 

533
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:00,700
bananas. 
And you know, they're trying to 

534
00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:03,100
spin it and the trying to 
misrepresent it and they're 

535
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:06,800
doing everything in their power,
to try to throw things at this. 

536
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,500
But, you know, it's just, it's 
going to be undeniable, you 

537
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:16,500
know, the, the next cycle. 
So 2024 End of 2020 for heading 

538
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:18,300
into 2025. 
Anyways, everybody.

It's a great way to connect with
bitcoiners near you anyway. 

567
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:47,500
So some news coming out of 
Europe Mika and what's 

568
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:50,100
interesting about me cuz you 
know, in Christine Lagarde off 

569
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:53,400
these ex-girlfriend who you 
know, is hell-bent on String 

570
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,000
Bitcoin because Opti broke her 
heart or maybe it was the other 

571
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,300
way around. 
I have no idea Abdi clearly did 

572
00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:04,400
something, but basically she 
referred to this as you know 

573
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:10,500
what she hoped that the Mika was
going to be used to cut off the 

574
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,700
clothes, the Escape valve so to 
speak. 

575
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:16,300
And that's her term, right? 
And you know in the Fiat system 

576
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:18,800
if there's an escape valve 
people are going to use it. 

577
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,300
Christine does Christine 
lagarde's words is not my words 

578
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,000
so it finally passed. 
It was it was unanimously 

579
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,300
passed. 
I'm gonna get into the details 

580
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:28,300
of what it is. 
So it says EU Council sounds on 

581
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:31,500
Mika regulation new reporting 
requirements on crypto assets. 

582
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:34,800
It goes on to say the eu's 
council which represents 27 

583
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,100
member states, unanimously 
approved, the markets and crypto

584
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:42,100
assets regulation making the 
block set up set to be the first

585
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:44,900
major jurisdiction in the world 
with crypto licensing. 

586
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,600
Regime Mica requires crypto 
firms such as wallet providers 

587
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,200
and exchanges to seek a license 
to operate across the block and 

588
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,000
stable coin is Issuers to hold 
suitable reserves. 

589
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:58,600
The rules are expected to be 
rolled out from 2024 quote 

590
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,600
ministers. 
Also agreed on new measures to 

591
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,400
for script over providers to 
disclose details of their 

592
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,100
customers Holdings to tax 
authorities, which will be 

593
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:09,600
shared within a block in a bid 
to avoid stashing funds and 

594
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
secret overseas wallets, that's 
the part that I got. 

595
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,500
I want you guys to pay attention
to That's not how it works. 

596
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:21,100
What do you mean? 
Secret overseas wallets that? 

597
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:24,600
Maybe that applies to how the 
current banking system works 

598
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:26,500
River. 
That's a very big tell it tells 

599
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:29,100
you a lot, right? 
Because that's how they perceive

600
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:32,400
this thing they're trying to 
apply the old mechanisms of 

601
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,700
control, and they're trying to 
apply that onto something of 

602
00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:39,700
which they can't look, they can 
regulate the on and off ramps, 

603
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:41,100
all they want. 
I feel like that's what they're 

604
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:42,300
going to put the most pressure 
on. 

605
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,300
I also suspect Fact that you 
know especially mobile wallets. 

606
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:49,900
Like if you download a mobile 
wallet and you have an iPhone, 

607
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,500
you know, you have to go through
the App Store approval process 

608
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:56,200
which is very easy for 
governments to knock on the door

609
00:31:56,300 --> 00:32:00,600
of apple and say, Hey, listen, 
you can't allow people to 

610
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,000
download a wallet unless that 
while it has kyc built-in, 

611
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,400
right? 
And I think this is where this 

612
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,200
is heading. 
So it goes on to say, quote, the

613
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,200
agreed on a requirement that 
from January 20 26 service 

614
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,800
providers obtain the name of sin
Is and beneficiaries and crypto 

615
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,100
assets, regardless of the amount
being transferred. 

616
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:22,000
Remember, it was $1000. 
First I was like no no no a 

617
00:32:22,008 --> 00:32:24,900
thousand dollars is okay, not 
they got rid of that all 

618
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,500
together. 
Now it's report everything and 

619
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:31,700
it goes on to say there was also
an agreement on amending rules 

620
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,200
on how member countries 
cooperate with each other in 

621
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,400
taxation to cover transactions 
in crypto assets and on 

622
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600
exchanging information on 
Advance tax rulings for the 

623
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,900
wealthiest individuals, right? 
But I think again You have to 

624
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:49,100
combine this with what the 
proposed regulations, where, 

625
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:53,900
from the IMF and it's a big tell
because the proposed regulation 

626
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,600
from the IMF which are very 
similar to what Europe rolled 

627
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,200
out with Mika is the IMF said, 
the quiet part out loud, they 

628
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,800
said the there these regulations
are an attempt to stop the 

629
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,000
adoption of Bitcoin, right? 
So the IMF is saying the reality

630
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,400
of why they want to do this. 
We've talked about the financial

631
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,300
act action task force. 
Many times on the show, it's an 

632
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:19,900
N unelected. 
It's a nun, elective 

633
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:23,600
Administration that basically 
gives guidance to the world 

634
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,000
about what their financial 
Financial regulation should be, 

635
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,200
it's always under the guise of 
money, laundering terrorism, you

636
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,000
know, drugs etc, etc, etc. 
And again kind of saying the 

637
00:33:38,008 --> 00:33:40,000
part of The Quiet part allowed, 
it's important that you connect 

638
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,900
the dots, because if you just 
see Mica by itself, you be like,

639
00:33:42,908 --> 00:33:45,700
Nico, you're seeing things. 
But if you Connecting the dots 

640
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:49,500
Point paints a different story. 
So Financial action task force, 

641
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:54,800
pushes Pakistan to ban Bitcoin, 
urges G7 to enact stricter 

642
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,000
Financial surveillance. 
Pakistani government is set to 

643
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,700
ban Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies
in the country. 

644
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:03,700
Following the financial action. 
Task force Guidance, with the 

645
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:08,199
wild Financial action, urges 
more countries to adopt its 

646
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:12,400
surveillance regime. 
So like, you know, I think this 

647
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,699
is just the first step in Europe
like we Really know what the 

648
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:18,300
financial action task force, and
they advise every country in the

649
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,800
G7 what to do. 
So they did, they already 

650
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,600
telling they're already telling 
you what they want. 

651
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,300
They want this thing, banned 
outright and then connect us 

652
00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:27,600
with opt. 
He's ex-girlfriends words the 

653
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,699
Escape valve, right? 
So this is just a slow creep and

654
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:34,400
this is why it's so important to
connect it with RF K Jr. 

655
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,900
In the beginning, this is why 
it's so poor important to have 

656
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,400
you know influential people on 
both sides of the political 

657
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,500
aisle, saying the quiet part out
loud. 

658
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:49,199
Say Saying, as to why they want 
to ban this saying, as to why 

659
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,300
they want Central Bank, digital 
currencies, it's not bitcoiners 

660
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:57,700
saying this, it's it's RFK jr. 
It's Rhonda Santa's, it's Tulsi 

661
00:34:57,700 --> 00:34:59,300
gabbard. 
And they're literally telling 

662
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:02,200
you it's because they want to 
control you. 

663
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:06,200
It's not Bitcoin or saying this.
It's them saying that bitcoiners

664
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,700
did say it first though. 
Quote Pakistan will ban 

665
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:11,800
cryptocurrency services from 
operating in the country and 

666
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,800
never lie and never legalized 
crypto Trading Pasha said, 

667
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Banning crypto was one of the 
requirements set by the 

668
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,500
financial action task force, 
which remove Pakistan from its 

669
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:24,100
grey list in October. 
You see how they do that, right?

670
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:26,500
Will remove you from the grey 
list, but you got a band 

671
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:28,300
Bitcoin. 
It's very similar to you guys. 

672
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:31,900
Remember what, what the 
conditions were for Argentina? 

673
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:34,300
If I if the IMF were to give 
them a bailout, what did they 

674
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:38,000
say to the Argentine government?
You must be incentivise. 

675
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,900
The adoption of Bitcoin. 
Mmm. 

676
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:42,800
So is it really about money 
laundering? 

677
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,400
Is it really about money 
laundering? 

678
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,300
Goes on to say quote the grey 
list contains countries the body

679
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:50,600
considers deficient and 
anti-money laundering and 

680
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,300
counterterrorism financing 
measures but they are working 

681
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:55,100
with it to remedy their 
shortcomings. 

682
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,200
Cryptocurrency has been gaining 
increasing popularity in 

683
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,900
Pakistan with the annual 
trading. 

684
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:04,000
Volume going up to 25 billion up
from approximately 18 to 20 

685
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
billion banks in Pakistan. 
Have already started, informing 

686
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,400
customers that crypto currency 
trading is illegal. 

687
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:12,500
It goes on to say. 
This attempted band comes at a 

688
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:17,200
time of political turmoil for 
And while quote, the Pakistani 

689
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,600
Rupees value has fallen a 
staggering 57.4% against the 

690
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,600
dollar over the past year. 
So I'm going to say this because

691
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,200
I think this is the part where 
it's ended, it's an indefensible

692
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,700
position for them, they want you
to lose the money that that 

693
00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:36,400
decreases in value. 
They're forcing you to use a 

694
00:36:36,408 --> 00:36:38,100
money. 
This is not only happening in 

695
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:40,400
Pakistan. 
This happened in Nigeria. 

696
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,900
This happened in Argentina in 
Argentina as the most disgusting

697
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:49,100
out of everything. 
Ng. 104 percent inflation. 

698
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:52,700
Supposed to the IMF was held was
set up, right? 

699
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:55,700
And I and I asked Alex gladstein
point-blank about this for at 

700
00:36:55,700 --> 00:37:00,300
the thank God for Bitcoin event 
and we had a fireside chat and I

701
00:37:00,308 --> 00:37:02,800
asked him, I said they're lying,
aren't they? 

702
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,000
Right. 
And it's about power and 

703
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,400
control. 
So, the IMF is not, you know, 

704
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,400
the IMF in the financial action 
task force. 

705
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,400
I don't believe them. 
This is not about money. 

706
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Laundering is about protecting. 
Their moat is about destroying. 

707
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:19,700
That escape valve. 
And if it means forcing people 

708
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:25,300
to endure 57 percent inflation 
or 104 percent inflation, they 

709
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:26,700
don't care. 
That's fine. 

710
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,400
What is a bigger threat to 
financial stability of the 

711
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:37,400
individuals of these countries 
Bitcoin or dealing with 57 to 

712
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,400
104 percent inflation? 
What do you think is a bigger 

713
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,800
threat to financial stability of
these countries? 

714
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:49,300
Obviously the inflation but It's
a threat to the IMF and the 

715
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:52,800
financial action task force moat
and that's what this is about. 

716
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:55,600
Don't get gas-lit, don't buy 
into these. 

717
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,300
But will buzz words that they 
keep saying money laundering, 

718
00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:02,300
Financial stability, volatility 
bullshit, make them ask the 

719
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:05,100
question, make them answer the 
question because they do not 

720
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:07,700
have a response to it. 
That's why the treasury avoids. 

721
00:38:07,700 --> 00:38:12,000
It like the plague. 
People are not opting out into 

722
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,500
Bitcoin because they want more 
efficient payments people are 

723
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:19,600
opting out Into Bitcoin because 
they want to use a money that 

724
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,000
doesn't fucking steal from them.
That is the reason that they're 

725
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,400
opting out, they don't have a 
response to that make them 

726
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,400
answer that question, pressure 
them color within the lines, you

727
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,800
got to do what you got to do it 
right? 

728
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:35,200
Make them answer that question, 
very simple question, why are we

729
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,200
being forced to use a money that
steals from us? 

730
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,200
Why are we doing that? 
Money can exist now. 

731
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,900
And Bitcoin has proven this 
money can exist that. 

732
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:48,100
Not only does it do Only does it
not steal from you but it 

733
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:51,400
actually increases in purchasing
power over time and that's 

734
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,300
something that we have to 
continue to highlight. 

735
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:56,600
And that's something that we 
have to continue to expose and 

736
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,200
our memetics are much better 
than theirs. 

737
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,600
They have a narrative, they have
lies and misrepresentations and 

738
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,800
spin. 
We have the truth on our side, 

739
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,600
all we got to do is highlight 
the truth. 

740
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,700
If enough, people wake up to 
this reality and take self 

741
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:12,200
custody we win and there's 
nothing they can do about it. 

742
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:16,000
Anyways, pass it on to you Chris
and then Opti yeah, definitely I

743
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,900
think One of the most important 
wallets that is going on right 

744
00:39:18,900 --> 00:39:20,500
now. 
You mentioned kind of like with 

745
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:22,900
mobile wallets. 
There's issues with that if the 

746
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:26,400
App Store decides to band use of
mobile Bitcoin wallets. 

747
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,600
Mutiny wallet, is a team by Tony
Benn the car, man. 

748
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,200
And Paul Miller, they're trying 
to do a web-based wallet. 

749
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,200
So meaning, as long as you have 
connection to a web browser, you

750
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,400
can use this wallet and 
basically, they're integrating, 

751
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,900
you know, Bitcoin core and a 
lightning node running on the 

752
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:43,100
web, which is very, very cool 
and it's awesome. 

753
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,100
It's a way to skirt around. 
A lot of the mobile restrictions

754
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,500
If they hit Google and apple 
saying like you're not allowed 

755
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:51,500
to list these in the Google Play
Store in the App Store. 

756
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,000
One thing that's very, very 
funny though that's kind of 

757
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,600
missed by many bitcoiners 
actually. 

758
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,400
Europe shot themselves in the 
foot. 

759
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,000
What I mean by this is they're 
obviously trying to push for 

760
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,400
stricter and harsher Financial 
regulations but what many people

761
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,600
didn't realize something that 
passed I think in 2021 or 2022. 

762
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,700
So just very recently they 
basically want a lawsuit, the 

763
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:14,000
the EU won a lawsuit against 
Apple, saying that apple had 

764
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,700
monopolistic practices. 
Is by only listing, the App 

765
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:18,900
Store. 
Obviously, when you have an 

766
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:22,700
iPhone, you can only use the App
Store to download apps since the

767
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:25,700
EU one, this lawsuit against 
Apple. 

768
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:29,900
It means that Apple has to open 
up to third party app stores. 

769
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:32,600
Meaning that in theory, even 
when you list a nap, like a 

770
00:40:32,608 --> 00:40:35,500
Mobile iPhone app, and you have 
to go through the Apple approval

771
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:38,500
process developers. 
Now, with this lawsuit, passing 

772
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:42,100
an apple losing, they have to 
welcome third party app store. 

773
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,400
So meaning that you guys like 
Opti Chris and Nico could have 

774
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,900
an app store and we could list 
Bitcoin apps in there. 

775
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,300
So obviously, maybe even though 
the EU would be like, hey, Apple

776
00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:54,900
were saying that you have to ban
iPhone apps, but the EU already 

777
00:40:54,900 --> 00:40:57,500
passed a law saying that Apple 
has to force and allow 

778
00:40:57,500 --> 00:41:00,100
third-party stores and apps. 
So even though that they're 

779
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:03,200
like, they can put pressure on 
Apple to do things with apple 

780
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,400
being forced to use third party 
stores on their devices going 

781
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,700
forward. 
I think it's implemented in 

782
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:11,300
beginning of 2024. 
So right when these restrictions

783
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:13,800
are coming into place, basically
I hope that it would be even 

784
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,100
funnier if where there's ways to
go around it by these three. 

785
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:18,900
Party stores. 
Last the, the FAFSA. 

786
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:22,300
The, the, the financial action 
task force are fucking losers. 

787
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,300
What do I mean by that? 
We didn't vote for them. 

788
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,300
Me, co-opting myself, did not 
vote for them. 

789
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,900
People in Europe, people in 
Africa, people in Asia, they're 

790
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:31,200
not voted. 
Voted in their appointed by 

791
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,700
like, bureaucratic bureaucratic 
leaders. 

792
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:36,100
So it's rulers. 
Like, it's not rules without 

793
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:38,400
rulers, its rulers and they 
dictate the rules. 

794
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:40,600
They have like worse, I mean, 
what is it? 

795
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,500
They catch one percent of money 
laundering and fraud charges. 

796
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,400
That means that they fail Scent 
of the times, if that's a 

797
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,200
fucking business, they go out of
business. 

798
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,400
If that's like an employee 
they're fired. 

799
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,800
They are like these Gatekeepers 
that get to be in place and like

800
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,500
basically have the ears of many 
of the world leaders at G7 

801
00:41:57,500 --> 00:41:59,900
Nations and Nations all over the
world and they can to try and 

802
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:02,000
enact their policies. 
So it's a load of fucking 

803
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,300
bullshit in the FAFSA. 
They're a bunch of fucking 

804
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:07,500
losers and Bitcoin is going to 
put them out of business even 

805
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:09,700
worse. 
Like, like, you know, we said 

806
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:12,800
that they, I said that they fail
99% of time because money 

807
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,300
laundering and like fraud a 
captain's. 

808
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:18,900
I mean you just want to hit HSBC
or JP Morgan if you have enough 

809
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:22,000
money, they'll gladly help 
launder your money or fucking 

810
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,700
help you with wire fraud and 
shit. 

811
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,700
So it's really fucking stupid. 
Last and final point is you 

812
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:29,100
don't ban Bitcoin. 
You ban yourself from the 

813
00:42:29,100 --> 00:42:33,000
benefits of Bitcoin so I feel 
really bad for the citizens of 

814
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,100
Pakistan obviously. 
I think they're peer-to-peer 

815
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:38,200
markets are going to explode in 
growth and that's a good thing 

816
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,400
for the people that are using 
it. 

817
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:42,000
But I think it's a shame for the
people that are, you know 

818
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,100
worried about what could happen 
going up against nation states. 

819
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:48,200
I understand there's Risks. 
If you're trying to use Bitcoin 

820
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,000
when your government is telling 
you can't, there's obviously 

821
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,400
inherent risks and bitcoiners 
are trying to build tools that 

822
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,200
can prevent them from finding 
out who you are. 

823
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000
And basically using those rules 
and laws that they change on a 

824
00:42:59,008 --> 00:43:01,800
whim to try and hurt their 
citizens and keep them in the 

825
00:43:01,808 --> 00:43:04,900
cage, that is the Fiat system 
back over you guys know 

826
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:08,000
beautiful, beautiful. 
And and I completely agree in 

827
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,700
terms of, you know, this is an 
unelected body. 

828
00:43:11,500 --> 00:43:14,800
But, and I'm really glad that 
you brought up that point about 

829
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,600
the lawsuit against Apple. 
That might ended up biting them 

830
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,100
the ass. 
Now what's going to be really 

831
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:20,600
interesting is if they walk it 
back? 

832
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:21,700
Yeah. 
Oh yeah. 

833
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:23,500
Like that's the thing. 
Like but they were saying that 

834
00:43:23,500 --> 00:43:26,700
apple is being a monopolistic 
hegemony and that they have to 

835
00:43:26,708 --> 00:43:29,300
let you know, competition come 
in and can't just be the App 

836
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:30,800
Store. 
So it's very, very interesting 

837
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,700
that like, these third-party app
stores are going to show up and 

838
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:36,100
like, oh Apple band, all these 
apps or they're not allowed to 

839
00:43:36,100 --> 00:43:39,600
use Noster or whatever Damas. 
Like but then we have like the 

840
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,100
Bitcoin or store and we're going
to list all the things that we 

841
00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:45,700
want that to go in there. 
Yeah. 100% And it's, you know, 

842
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:48,300
and I Says all the time. 
Like one of my favorite features

843
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:51,500
of Bitcoin is that it exposes 
incentives, right? 

844
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:54,900
So it exposes the in the true 
incentives of what these people 

845
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,300
are all about. 
Are they truly about money, 

846
00:43:57,300 --> 00:43:59,200
laundering terrorism, and all 
these things. 

847
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,200
Or they really about protecting 
their moat, it's becoming 

848
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,300
clearer and clearer and clearer 
and clearer. 

849
00:44:05,500 --> 00:44:08,800
They don't give a flying F about
that stuff. 

850
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,200
What they really care about is 
having the control, being The 

851
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,400
Gatekeepers, being the 
intermediaries of who's entitled

852
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,800
to use money. 
Who's not entitled to use money.

853
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:20,800
Anyways, pass it on to you Opti 
and then we'll hit the culture. 

854
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,000
Well, first and foremost 
foremost, Chris go off King, 

855
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000
let's go. 
Okay, my thoughts are all this 

856
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,300
regulation or over-regulation is
just proves to me that the 

857
00:44:31,308 --> 00:44:34,200
powers that be are scared. 
They are doing their best to 

858
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,800
control, not only Bitcoin, but 
their traditional system, and 

859
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,600
they can over-regulate all they 
want. 

860
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,400
And it's their attempt of trying
to slow adoption or rather 

861
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,200
trying to stop adoption. 
But they can't control Bitcoin. 

862
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,200
They have lost control of their 
system. 

863
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,100
And you think that they can 
control this system that was 

864
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:56,400
literally designed for them. 
Not to control like it, they 

865
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,100
really are dinosaurs and Relics 
of the past and they're 

866
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:00,800
clamoring for a control right 
now. 

867
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,100
And it's becoming more and more 
obvious that we can't be naive 

868
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:05,900
in our thinking that. 
Oh, they just don't know what's 

869
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,100
going on. 
I think we can kind of lean into

870
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:11,700
the fact that like they are 
doing their best to not expose 

871
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:15,100
their game and they're just 
trying to do it with of course, 

872
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:17,600
the guidance. 
Or the view that this is for 

873
00:45:17,608 --> 00:45:20,300
your protection, from Financial 
criminals, and terrorists, and 

874
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:22,100
money launderers, and all this 
stuff. 

875
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,300
But it really does sound like 
projection. 

876
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:27,600
Like Nica pointed out, you know,
hidden offshore wallet. 

877
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,700
Sounds very familiar. 
I think we've heard this story 

878
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:33,900
before and it has nothing to do 
with Bitcoin but you know maybe 

879
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:39,200
I'm being naive or more like a 
tinfoil hat here but I don't 

880
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,800
think this will have any effect.
This is just them trying to 

881
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,000
clamor for control and maybe to 
the average person. 

882
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:47,500
Out there. 
This may seem like, oh, they're 

883
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:50,200
doing some good. 
But hey, Bitcoin will find a way

884
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,400
to Route around this. 
And like I said, the 

885
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,500
powers-that-be can't even 
control their system. 

886
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:57,400
That is totally surveilled. 
And you think that they can do 

887
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,700
this to bitcoin, which is 
designed for them, not to 

888
00:46:00,700 --> 00:46:02,600
control. 
And what do we say here all the 

889
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,600
time and Chris said it, you 
know, can't ban Bitcoin. 

890
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,300
You can only ban yourself from 
Bitcoin or the benefits of 

891
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,300
Bitcoin. 
So hey, I hate to see this 

892
00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:14,000
happen but I think moving 
forward, we will be seeing a lot

893
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,700
more of this happen as The 
governments of politicians 

894
00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:21,400
Central planners of the world 
exposed their hand and tell us 

895
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,200
who they really are, they want 
to completely control you. 

896
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,600
Well, we have the tools to stop 
that from happening and it's 

897
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,400
called opting out and holding 
Bitcoin, taking Bitcoin in the 

898
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,800
South custody running the nodes.
This is what you need to do. 

899
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,500
It's very simple, it's cut and 
dry. 

900
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:41,300
Do not get bamboozled by all the
noise stick to the signal, run 

901
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:44,800
the network for yourself, and 
take Bitcoin into South custody 

902
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,600
and opt out of The madness 100% 
Optimas. 

903
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,000
We will win. 
This guy's just got to keep on 

904
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,500
the pressure. 
Keep on the pressure. 

905
00:46:52,500 --> 00:46:55,200
Keep educating. 
Keep keep getting the message 

906
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,500
out there. 
It's not, it's not a Red vs. 

907
00:46:57,500 --> 00:46:59,300
Blue, it's not left versus 
right. 

908
00:46:59,300 --> 00:47:01,800
That's a description. 
That's the divide and conquer. 

909
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,400
It's Orange verse green. 
And I think over time more and 

910
00:47:05,408 --> 00:47:09,100
more people will wake up and 
you'll see you'll see people of 

911
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:11,200
different ideologies coming 
together. 

912
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,000
Bitcoin is the great unifier. 
Fix the money, you fix the 

913
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,500
world, and we're going to win. 
Staying. 

914
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,500
All right everybody, let's jump 
in the culture. 

915
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:21,500
But before we jump into the 
culture guys, we've been taking,

916
00:47:21,500 --> 00:47:23,700
we've been talking a lot about 
this time about. 

917
00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:26,000
How do we win the peaceful 
Bitcoin Revolution? 

918
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,100
Well, the first thing you got to
take Bitcoin into self custody, 

919
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:34,500
but if you take it into self 
custody and you write down your 

920
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:38,100
24 word or 12, word seed phrase,
and you write it down on paper 

921
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:41,100
papers prone to water damage. 
Fire damage can be eaten by a 

922
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:42,700
dog. 
You want to store your 

923
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:47,000
generational wealth on steel.

952
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:17,000
Anyways, Opti, what are we 
talking about today? 

953
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,500
My friend, we're talking all 
things conference, and I think 

954
00:49:21,500 --> 00:49:25,500
it's, I'm really glad that we 
got Chris on today because I 

955
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:28,000
really do think that people 
underestimate the importance of 

956
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,400
this conference. 
And we talked about it earlier 

957
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,100
in the show about breaking out 
of the echo chamber. 

958
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,500
And I think you guys absolutely 
killed it. 

959
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,000
I know this year that the 
conference was a little smaller 

960
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,200
than in the past but I was 
sitting there and I had a 

961
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,000
profound Epiphany, watching, all
you all of my friends on the 

962
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,700
analyst desk and I'm like, wow, 
we are putting on like a 

963
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:53,800
professional ESPN stream for 
Bitcoin and we are breaking into

964
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,600
the mainstream Consciousness. 
And I know you guys got a lot of

965
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,500
a lot of flak this year Chris. 
But how do you think the 

966
00:50:00,500 --> 00:50:03,600
execution of this year 
conference, verse those in the 

967
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,400
past and what are you happy 
about? 

968
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,100
What are you proud of? 
What you guys did today or 

969
00:50:09,100 --> 00:50:10,800
rather this Weekend? 
Yeah. 

970
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,900
No, it's truly an honor and a 
privilege to put on this 

971
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:15,800
conference. 
We are trying to the mission of 

972
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,000
Bitcoin magazine is hyper bit 
quantization. 

973
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,300
So bringing Bitcoin which we see
as a superior money for the 

974
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:24,800
world and individuals and trying
to spread it to the masses. 

975
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:28,100
So yeah, like I'm very proud. 
I was running the news desk. 

976
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:29,900
I got the moderate on the news 
desk as well. 

977
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:32,700
So it was a lot of work and a 
lot. 

978
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,000
As you can tell by my voice, my 
voice is shot. 

979
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,100
But I had a blast being on the 
desk with you guys. 

980
00:50:37,500 --> 00:50:42,000
You guys crushed it as well. 
But yeah, really great 

981
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,600
conference. 
I mean this is something that is

982
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,800
definitely difficult to execute.
People don't realize all the 

983
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,400
work that goes in behind the 
scenes. 

984
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,500
It was a smaller conference 
obvious because the bear Market 

985
00:50:52,500 --> 00:50:54,300
but we were building the 
foundations. 

986
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,300
Having three presidential 
candidates be here like this is 

987
00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:00,600
huge. 
Bitcoin 2024 is going to be in 

988
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,300
Nashville. 
It's going to be a month or a 

989
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:07,600
couple weeks before Democratic 
and primaries for both the, the 

990
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,400
primaries for both the 
Democratic and Republican 

991
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,000
parties. 
T. 

992
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,300
So, you know, hopefully we'll 
have more presidential 

993
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:13,900
candidates. 
And even more talks about 

994
00:51:13,900 --> 00:51:16,000
Bitcoin, obviously, debating 
CBD. 

995
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,300
Sees, the president's are the 
presidential candidates are 

996
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:20,400
trying to push those things. 
Hopefully, we'll have the 

997
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,700
counter narrative or the 
candidates that see, Bitcoins 

998
00:51:22,700 --> 00:51:25,300
actually a way better 
alternative than forcing your 

999
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:29,900
citizens into this slave money. 
That is cbc's, like I said, 

1000
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,300
execution of this event, I 
thought was excellent. 

1001
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,800
Obviously there's always room 
for improvement and we're trying

1002
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,100
to build it, make it better and 
better each and every year. 

1003
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,000
And last, my final thing is I 
want to say thank you to the In 

1004
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,500
Miami. 
They welcomed Us in 2021 when 

1005
00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:45,400
many other cities were turning 
us away. 

1006
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,400
They were threatening to shut us
down. 

1007
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:50,700
They were calling us, you know, 
we were killing people's 

1008
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:53,100
grandmother's. 
They had a bunch of choice words

1009
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,400
for things that we were doing 
trying to do an event of that 

1010
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,400
large in 2021 and 2022. 
We don't need to get into the 

1011
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,800
ramifications of that or what 
people were calling us in that 

1012
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,300
regard. 
But yeah, like it was. 

1013
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:06,300
Truly an honor. 
They welcomed us and we went 

1014
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:09,600
there for three years, we had a 
competitive bidding process for 

1015
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:12,100
What cities we wanted to go to 
next and we see Bitcoin is a 

1016
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:14,800
global money and obviously have 
the Bitcoin Amsterdam 

1017
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,800
conference. 
We're doing that again this 

1018
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,900
year, we're really excited to 
do, but we're trying to bring 

1019
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:21,400
this to many cities across the 
world, not just the United 

1020
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,000
States, but all over the globe. 
So we're really excited for 

1021
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,100
things that were rolling out. 
Look forward to all the like so,

1022
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:30,700
obviously Bitcoin 2024 
Nashville, Bitcoin Amsterdam at 

1023
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:33,300
the tail end of this year. 
And then kind of expanding from 

1024
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:34,800
there. 
I'm not sure we're going to go 

1025
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,200
next. 
Our conference teams keeping 

1026
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,700
that close to the chest but 
really, really excited to bring 

1027
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,400
this large. 
The masses. 

1028
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,600
I hope you guys had a great time
at the event and yeah, that's a 

1029
00:52:44,608 --> 00:52:47,300
pretty much all I got for now, 
let's go. 

1030
00:52:47,300 --> 00:52:50,100
Absolutely love it. 
And yeah, we kind of talked 

1031
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:52,200
about this in the beginning of 
the show, but I'd like to 

1032
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,200
re-emphasize because Chris you 
and I had this conversation in 

1033
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,300
person and it's very interesting
how the conversation at the 

1034
00:53:00,308 --> 00:53:02,900
Bitcoin conference, you know, 
rolled out. 

1035
00:53:02,900 --> 00:53:05,800
And it was very interesting to 
see the political nature of 

1036
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,700
everything going on at the 
conference. 

1037
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,500
And I really do think there is 
Is a lot to be learned by 

1038
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:15,400
understanding that, yes, maybe 
we do have our own perspectives,

1039
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,800
but we are moving the Overton 
window here. 

1040
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,200
And we are trying to do our best
to get the everyday person to 

1041
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,500
get into Bitcoin to understand 
why we Bitcoin. 

1042
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,800
And hey, if it takes some of 
these presidential candidates, 

1043
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,800
some of these people that are a 
little better known than all of 

1044
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,700
us to get that conversation 
going. 

1045
00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:35,700
I think this is something that 
we can lean into to spread the 

1046
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,300
Bitcoin message. 
What's your thoughts on this? 

1047
00:53:37,300 --> 00:53:38,900
Chris? 
Yeah definitely. 

1048
00:53:38,900 --> 00:53:41,600
I mean I think I don't need to 
preach to you guys. 

1049
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,200
Why Bitcoin is a great thing, 
you guys do this every day. 

1050
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:47,400
But if we can wake up the masses
and you know, hyper Bitcoin eyes

1051
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,600
to the world, I know Cory was 
always mentioning. 

1052
00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:52,300
You know, the goal is orange, 
killing the next 10 million 

1053
00:53:52,300 --> 00:53:55,900
bitcoiners and I think that this
event is a launch pad or like a 

1054
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,400
platform for making that happen,
you know, having RFK having 

1055
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,200
Tulsi gabbard having Michael 
Lewis, having all these 

1056
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,700
different people that affect the
mainstream, mind buyer. 

1057
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:09,600
So, the narrative obviously Miko
loves Tucker. 

1058
00:54:09,700 --> 00:54:13,900
Carlson, and he is obviously the
second most important person we 

1059
00:54:13,900 --> 00:54:15,000
were in communication, with his 
team. 

1060
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,300
He couldn't make it this year 
because he has a lot going on, 

1061
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,100
but he was at Bitcoin 2022 and 
he loved the event. 

1062
00:54:20,100 --> 00:54:23,100
And like, obviously, Michael 
sailor naive buchelli. 

1063
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:25,800
Max Keiser helped, Orange, Peel 
him along the process. 

1064
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:28,200
We would love to have him for 
2024. 

1065
00:54:28,300 --> 00:54:31,600
So maybe this is my pre-emptive 
asked to get Tucker Carlson at 

1066
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,100
the conference maybe as from 
more of the independent 

1067
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,700
journalist route at side of 
things now that he's left Fox. 

1068
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:39,600
But yeah, I mean, it's a great 
event in our thing. 

1069
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,800
Is he pushing it to the masses 
that we're not trying to force 

1070
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,200
people to use Bitcoin but we're 
just trying to show people. 

1071
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,600
My proof of work that Bitcoin is
a better money. 

1072
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:51,000
It doesn't devalue over time, it
actually goes up in value over 

1073
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,800
time. 
And to, basically teach people 

1074
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,200
about the system that they're 
trapped in when they're stuck in

1075
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,300
Fiat. 
Yeah, one of it 100%. 

1076
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,600
So and I want to ask you this 
Chris like what is the like in 

1077
00:55:02,700 --> 00:55:05,800
the the? 
Because there's always one 

1078
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,300
memorable moment. 
What was the highlight of the 

1079
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:11,800
lat? 
Out of the way I wanted to ask 

1080
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,600
the same 12, let's give it a two
part. 

1081
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,300
What was your personal highlight
and then? 

1082
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:17,200
What do you think? 
Was the conference highlight? 

1083
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,800
Whoo. 
All right, my personal highlight

1084
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,800
was being on that news desk 
being able to run the new 

1085
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,600
systems here was awesome. 
Obviously got to be on the desk 

1086
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,800
with all of my friends you guys 
up on the desk as well. 

1087
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:31,100
You know, being with some people
that I look up to like, Preston 

1088
00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:34,600
pish, Michael sailor, Caitlin 
long was really cool and just 

1089
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,200
everyone that I got to share the
desk. 

1090
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,200
Was it was truly an honor of 
moderating that something that 

1091
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,900
stuck out. 
Obviously I think RFK is 

1092
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,000
definitely one of the big ones 
and yeah, just watching all of 

1093
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,400
my friends. 
Obviously, I work at Bitcoin 

1094
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,600
magazine watching us execute 
this event in the midst of a 

1095
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,200
bear market and we were able to,
we got a lot of compliments. 

1096
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Obviously, we see the gripes on 
Twitter basically, you know, 

1097
00:55:55,208 --> 00:55:57,500
making fun of things that we did
and yeah, granted there are 

1098
00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:00,200
mistakes and things we can 
definitely look back and you 

1099
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,400
know, afterwards go through with
a fine-tooth comb and kind of 

1100
00:56:02,408 --> 00:56:04,400
iterate for next year in 
Nashville, which were really 

1101
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,300
excited for. 
But I think we execute an event.

1102
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:09,500
Pretty flawlessly and I'd love 
your thoughts. 

1103
00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:12,000
Thoughts Opti Nico, like, what 
are your thoughts on the event? 

1104
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,500
In general, I thought it was 
great. 

1105
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:20,200
I had a blast, like I said 
before, you know, I got to see 

1106
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,400
what it means to be a Bitcoin 
content creator on the back end,

1107
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,900
and I've seen it on the front 
end and it really should not be 

1108
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:32,400
underestimated how much effort 
it takes to put on something of 

1109
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,200
this nature. 
I don't know if you guys 

1110
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,400
noticed, but it was a highly 
professional conference. 

1111
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,500
It, I literally was sitting here
and I'm like, wow. 

1112
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:42,300
This reminds me of like an ESPN 
broadcast about Bitcoin. 

1113
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,800
I absolutely love it. 
And then, of course, my personal

1114
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,500
highlight is you guys giving me 
the nod, me being on the news 

1115
00:56:47,500 --> 00:56:49,900
desk and then just kind of 
hanging out rubbing elbows with 

1116
00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:52,500
all my friends, and it's always 
just a Mecca. 

1117
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:57,200
A little trip of Refreshments of
hanging with my friends being 

1118
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,000
revitalized charging my battery.
And, of course, hey, I'm a huge 

1119
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,200
fan of Miami, but I'm excited to
get to Nashville. 

1120
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,300
I've never been and I hear a lot
of good things from some of my 

1121
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:08,100
friends that work over at 
Bitcoin mag. 

1122
00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:09,400
So I'm excited to get over 
there. 

1123
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,100
Yeah, you're in for a treat 
Opti. 

1124
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:13,400
Obviously Bitcoin magazine we 
are headquartered is there, 

1125
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,900
there's Bitcoin Park and then 
we'll be at the National 

1126
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:17,500
Convention Center for the 
conference. 

1127
00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:20,300
So I'm sure there's gonna be an 
awesome side events at our 

1128
00:57:20,308 --> 00:57:22,800
headquarters at the. 
Yeah. 

1129
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,200
At the headquarters epic when 
Park so there's going to be a 

1130
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,300
lot of fun stuff. 
And yeah I mean I tweeted this 

1131
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:29,200
morning I hope everyone made 
back home safe. 

1132
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,200
It was just it's a bummer that 
it like it happened in a Flash. 

1133
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,700
Like I wish I had more hours in 
the day to hang out talk and 

1134
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:37,400
meet with more awesome 
bitcoiners. 

1135
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:39,400
It's definitely something that 
like kind of fills you with 

1136
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,000
hope. 
Fills you with happiness and 

1137
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,400
joy, being with your friends, 
watching your friends, 

1138
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:45,800
absolutely crush on the news 
desk. 

1139
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,100
I'm referring to, obviously you 
guys opting Miko and just kind 

1140
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:51,900
of executing event flawlessly. 
Like I said, there's always room

1141
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:53,900
for improvement, so we're 
looking forward to make it even 

1142
00:57:53,900 --> 00:57:56,400
even better in 2024. 
And don't forget, use code 

1143
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,800
simply get your tickets for 
Bitcoin 2024. 

1144
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,400
We get a lot of flack every year
when we get close to the event 

1145
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,500
that the ticket prices are too 
high there. 

1146
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:06,000
No cheaper than they are today. 
The only time they were slightly

1147
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,400
cheaper is when you're at the 
conference this year, you can 

1148
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,000
get them for like I think 50 or 
80 bucks cheaper. 

1149
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,700
But 300 bucks for a GI day 
ticket, to hang out at the 

1150
00:58:13,708 --> 00:58:15,400
conference, and see so many 
awesome. 

1151
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,300
Amazing speakers. 
I think sis deal. 

1152
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,400
Maybe I'm a little biased, but 
and then you can use code, 

1153
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,200
simply get even a small discount
on that too. 

1154
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,500
So, yeah, get your, get your 
early bird tickets. 

1155
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:26,200
Everyone Waits the last minute, 
and then they complain about the

1156
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,600
prices if you buy them. 
Now it's super cheap. 

1157
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,200
Two days of, you know, if you're
trying to get a job in the 

1158
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,700
industry, there's literally no 
better place to do it. 

1159
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:36,300
Opting I met for the first time 
in person at the Bitcoin 

1160
00:58:36,300 --> 00:58:39,200
conference, I've had many 
opportunities on a personal 

1161
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,800
level Or my personal career, you
know, that these conferences, 

1162
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,900

look at like trying to get into 

1163
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:46,900

at the space, trying to figure 

1164
00:58:46,900 --> 00:58:50,300
out what the space is all about.
You know, the the, the Bitcoin, 

1165
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:52,900

the Bitcoin, the Bitcoin

00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:56,700

The daily meme review brought to
you by Kaboom racks. 

1171
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,100

1181
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:42,400
at their Booth all weekend. 
Anyways, you guys already know. 

1182
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,800
This is your favorite portion of
the show that mean review where 

1183
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,700
you guys send us memes and we 
review them and then you guys 

1184
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:50,300
give us your scores in the chat.
Wait who made this? 

1185
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,100
Honestly let me get there. 
Hold on hold on hold on hold on.

1186
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:57,200
Okay you know the deal tweets or
the Bullet memes are the 

1187
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,400
artillery. 
We are in an information War. 

1188
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,800
Guys continue to get the calls 
of actions continue to ridicule 

1189
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:07,200
the corporate press continue. 
To keep your friend spirits up 

1190
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:09,600
and make them laugh. 
Make some funnies this is the 

1191
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,500
way. 
Anyways, as Niko ask me, I don't

1192
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:14,600
remember. 
I don't remember who made this 

1193
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,000
one. 
This one was dropped in our 

1194
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:21,100
telegram, actually, it was truth
truth, he's he's joined the 

1195
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:23,700
team, helping us on the back and
do some stuff. 

1196
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,500
I'm pretty sure he's the one 
that made it, if, if I'm wrong, 

1197
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:29,800
forgive me. 
Anyways, this first meme is the 

1198
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,700
touching of the tip ceremony. 
And as you can tell, Nico still 

1199
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:37,400
has the blond tips and we got 
the The Super Saiyan, what's 

1200
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,300
that? 
I don't know what this is 

1201
01:00:38,300 --> 01:00:40,100
called. 
Anyways, we got sessions and 

1202
01:00:40,100 --> 01:00:42,800
Nico here and there's a 
screenshot, the topic goes, 

1203
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,600
let's touch tips. 
Broski. 

1204
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,600
And then they touch tips and 
look at me, go sighs. 

1205
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,700
He's literally out of body and 
it goes what's happening. 

1206
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,900
And you can see on the bottom, 
the eyes turn into laser eyes, 

1207
01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:59,000
and it goes bit, power 
activated. 

1208
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,700
Okay, this next one, shouts out 
the Darth coin. 

1209
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:08,100
Everyone was very surprised that
I'm On a small dork on YouTube 

1210
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,500
and they're like, Opti, how are 
you? 

1211
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:13,500
So yelped. 
Anyways, we got the classic 

1212
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,100
Dogecoin. 
Cody hips. 

1213
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,200
Could just go to the gym and eat
a lot of protein. 

1214
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,000
Anyways, we got the big, big 
Doge dog here and it goes off 

1215
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,900
the BTC. 2023 licking like a 
huge chat. 

1216
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:29,500
And then simply Bitcoin Opti 
looking like a small dork do 

1217
01:01:29,500 --> 01:01:33,500
too. 
Okay, absolutely love it. 

1218
01:01:33,700 --> 01:01:35,700
All right, this next one is Bye 
Sally. 

1219
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:39,500
Shout out the sale and we got a 
picture here of Sally, with Big 

1220
01:01:39,500 --> 01:01:43,700
Sean, and the lovely mrs. 
Sessions and BTC sessions 

1221
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:45,000
himself. 
And you can see they're all 

1222
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,900
wearing black shirts and it was 
predicted inflation and they're 

1223
01:01:47,900 --> 01:01:52,200
all tiny in comparison to Big, 
Sean Harris, which is the actual

1224
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,500
inflation. 
Shout the Big, Sean Harris, he's

1225
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:56,400
a monster. 
All right, this next one is at 

1226
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,700
Maxie's club and it goes 40 to 
already and we got the classic 

1227
01:02:00,700 --> 01:02:04,400
classic meme template of someone
in a car. 

1228
01:02:04,900 --> 01:02:08,700
With a friend, but this someone 
is yellow and it goes what a 

1229
01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:11,700
nice day to know that you are 
also a Bitcoin Maxi and the 

1230
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:12,800
person in the passenger seat 
goes. 

1231
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,800
Yes, I have all my Bitcoin on 
exchanges, and then yellow 

1232
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,000
kicks. 
A person out of the car and it 

1233
01:02:17,008 --> 01:02:19,200
goes, what a nice day without 
you. 

1234
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,600
Because you don't understand 
that it's not your Bitcoin if 

1235
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,000
it's only on an exchange. 
Okay. 

1236
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,000
This next one is by Jose as bam 
and it just goes hashtag Bitcoin

1237
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,400
and I really like this because 
this is the energy. 

1238
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,100
I think this is what a lot of 
bitcoiners. 

1239
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:37,000
Maybe feel internally but also 
Also, some of them are actually 

1240
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:42,000
living this In the Flesh and we 
got this, you know, heroic Chad 

1241
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,700
conquer here. 
That is Conquering, a new world,

1242
01:02:44,700 --> 01:02:47,500
it goes how my grandchildren 
will imagine me fighting for 

1243
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,500
Bitcoin in the third and fourth 
epochs, a warrior of Truth, 

1244
01:02:51,500 --> 01:02:53,900
okay? 
This next meme is by RT B TC and

1245
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:57,800
it goes, please understand 
hashtag Bitcoin and I think this

1246
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,200
is a Xavier mr. 
X from Wolverine but I could be 

1247
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,300
wrong and it goes me trying to 
make my friends and family 

1248
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:06,700
understand It can before it's 
too late and you're just using 

1249
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,600
all the mental power, you can to
try to explain to people that 

1250
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:14,500
they need to hold Bitcoin or 
they might get rug pulled by the

1251
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:16,600
Legacy Financial system. 
This next one Nico might be a 

1252
01:03:16,608 --> 01:03:20,200
little contentious and but I 
think this one's hilarious. 

1253
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,900
So shout out the Psychedelic bar
in the goes birth control. 

1254
01:03:22,900 --> 01:03:27,900
Effectiveness condoms 99% birth 
control pills, 99% dressing like

1255
01:03:27,900 --> 01:03:30,500
a wizard at a Bitcoin conference
100%. 

1256
01:03:33,900 --> 01:03:39,200
All right, if you score in the 
chat as we cover hours live, and

1257
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,700
An honor of the Bitcoin 
conference. 

1258
01:03:42,700 --> 01:03:46,100
I'm going to give it my speaker 
past that is still on my wrist 

1259
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:49,600

it's next to my speaker pass for

1261
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,200
first year. 
I spoke had the privilege of 

1262
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,600
speaking at a Bitcoin conference
as Bitcoin 2021. 

1263
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,300
So it's I'm going to put it 
right next to that. 

1264
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,800
I love saving saving the 
memories. 

1265
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,700
But anyways Chris what's your 
what's your name score? 

1266
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:10,400
Yeah. 
So my score is these beautiful 

1267
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,400
proof of Paint card playing 
cards. 

1268
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:16,800
So they aren't, you know, the 
house of Fiat is what it's 

1269
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,100
called, House of Fiat cards. 
Also, for people that are 

1270
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:22,600
subscribers to the gatekeeper 
issue that we dropped at the 

1271
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,200
conference, the beautiful 
picture of Julian Assange on the

1272
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,700
cover, anyone that is a 
subscriber, you will get a 

1273
01:04:27,700 --> 01:04:31,800
limited edition Joker, Julian 
Assange card as an insert in the

1274
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,900
magazine. 
So you pick up these and then 

1275
01:04:34,100 --> 01:04:36,200
put in the Julian Assange. 
But yeah, they're beautifully 

1276
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,200
there died but done by proof of 
paint, if you order them at the 

1277
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,300
coin magazine.com. 
I'm in the art section. 

1278
01:04:42,300 --> 01:04:45,000
I know they're deck of cards but
they're beautifully. 

1279
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Well, done, it supports him as 
an artist. 

1280
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,000
Yeah, I can't recommend them 
enough. 

1281
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,200
Can't wait to crack this. 
Open crack open a cold cup of 

1282
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,100
cold beers and and have a good 
one there. 

1283
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:56,700
Yeah. 
And then also, if you go to Art,

1284
01:04:56,700 --> 01:05:00,500
go to the art, tab up there up 
on the top and then go to Fiat 

1285
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:04,100
House of Cards. 
Yep. 

1286
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,900
And I know they are a little 
pricey, the work that he put 

1287
01:05:06,900 --> 01:05:10,200
into them was a lot of work, 
there's a revenue split between 

1288
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,400
us and him and yeah I mean 
they're beautiful. 

1289
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,500
Just like some of the 
annotations on there. 

1290
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:18,000
They're really really awesome so
yeah can't wait to crack into 

1291
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,200
these and use them very very 
cool. 

1292
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,800

01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,700
feel like, we provided you 
value, but the number one, Thing

1388
01:10:09,700 --> 01:10:13,100
you could do to help push the 
peaceful Bitcoin Revolution is 

1389
01:10:13,100 --> 01:10:16,100
share all Bitcoin content, get 
it out there, don't share sheet 

1390
01:10:16,100 --> 01:10:18,100
going content, that's 
counterproductive that actually 

1391
01:10:18,100 --> 01:10:21,500
hurts the movement or maybe it 
just delays it because it just 

1392
01:10:21,500 --> 01:10:23,900
like sends people off the wrong 
track, they get wrecked and then

1393
01:10:23,900 --> 01:10:25,600
they get into Bitcoin. 
You could just go straight to 

1394
01:10:25,608 --> 01:10:27,700
bitcoin by sending them Bitcoin 
content. 

1395
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,500
That's how we win this thing. 
But there is an after party. 

1396
01:10:30,500 --> 01:10:34,900

people that I know we're hanging

1413
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:37,500
out with me in Miami as well so 
we can recap a few things.

One second, let me bring some 
people up, hold on. 

1415
01:11:43,300 --> 01:11:46,000
But yeah man, what a what a 
great time. 

1416
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,300
I absolutely had a blast. 
I love Miami. 

1417
01:11:48,300 --> 01:11:49,300
I know. 
Everyone says that. 

1418
01:11:49,300 --> 01:11:53,400
Miami is a Fiat shit. 
Coin City but I absolutely love 

1419
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,700
the city. 
It's it's beautiful anyway. 

1420
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:58,000
Is will go. 
Let's start with bird. 

1421
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,100
I think he's been up here. 
The longest how you doing? 

1422
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:07,900
Thoughts two sets going once. 
Going twice. 

1423
01:12:12,100 --> 01:12:12,500
No.
