00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,600
Yo welcome to another episode of
Simply Bitcoin live. 

2
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,300
Your number one source for the 
peaceful Bitcoin Revolution. 

3
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,000
Today we have a very special 
show. 

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,299
This is simply Bitcoin, after 
all, we like to invite 

5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,500
bitcoiners for all, from all 
walks of life, sometimes they're

6
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,600
very well-known. 
Sometimes, you know, they're 

7
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,500
just plebs on bitcoin Twitter, 
and those plebs usually have 

8
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:46,800
some of the best takes because 
it's not that the well-known 

9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,600
people have bad takes. 
It's that you've heard them a 

10
00:00:49,608 --> 00:00:53,200
thousand times, right? 
So that's why we invite them 

11
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,400
because sometimes you have no 
idea what they're going to say, 

12
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800
but the signal is so goddamn 
good. 

13
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,500
Anyways, Alex, how you doing 
good? 

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,700
How are you Nica? 
Thanks for having me, man. 

15
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,800
Thank you so much for coming 
onto, simply Bitcoin. 

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,800
It's going to be a great show. 
But first, I have to say, what's

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,600
up to my legendary co-host, the 
legendary Optimus Fields, Nico 

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,700
Nico. 
It is humble It is humble Opti 

19
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,000
the host but good morning Nico. 
What's up, Alex? 

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
I just want to give you a shout 
out. 

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,800
Nico. 
Y'all need to watch that 

22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,700
interview. 
He did yesterday because that 

23
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:32,600
was so fire. 
We went way longer than we 

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,600
thought and it was pure signal, 
guys. 

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,900
Absolutely pure signal. 
It's literally a must-see I 

26
00:01:38,908 --> 00:01:42,100
know, I'm Schilling our products
or whatever but it was fire 

27
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,300
guys. 
Like everyone in the chat was 

28
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:47,500
super bullish that's that's the 
content we're here for spreading

29
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,900
that sound money. 
Gospel man. 

30
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,300
It was awesome. 
Yeah it was it was a lot of fun.

31
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,400
It definitely went ran a lot 
longer than I thought it would. 

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,300
But anyways before we start the 
show today we're going to talk 

33
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,700
about how to use Bitcoin without
the internet. 

34
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,800
Yes it is possible. 
We're also going to continue 

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,100
covering the disaster of 
aetherium aetherium run by 

36
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,800
Amazon. 
Regulated or what is it? 

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Run by Amazon regulated, by the 
US government, I forgot the 

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,100
tweet. 
It was so good, but you guys get

39
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,200
the general gist of it. 
Anyways, Opti, what are we going

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,600
to talk to talk about today 
during the daily culture? 

41
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,200
I think this is the third daily 
culture. 

42
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,500
Well, we've been getting a lot 
of shit for some of our 

43
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,600
sponsorship. 
So I am going to address some of

44
00:02:32,608 --> 00:02:35,800
this stuff and then furthermore,
if we got enough time, I have an

45
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:39,800
awesome Eric case on thread. 
So we'll see, we'll see if we 

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,100
get there. 
I know the news. 

47
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:43,500
Been running long because 
there's a lot of news out here 

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,700
but yes, I am bullish on The 
Daily culture. 

49
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,700
I love it, man. 
It makes me feel good that I can

50
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:52,200
talk about the stuff that I 
like. 

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,400
So, here we go. 
And man, let's just get into 

52
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,100
this Nico. 
Let's just get into his. 

53
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:00,500
I'm looking for the Tweet 
because it's such a good sweet. 

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,200
Anyways, I'll find it later. 
Let's start the show. 

55
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:11,700
Number two brought to you by not
all they make some of the best 

56
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,500
Bitcoin. 
Nodes run your own version of 

57
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,500
Bitcoin core. 
The lightning Network whirlpool 

58
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:18,900
and Dojo all from the comfort of
your own home. 

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Remember guys, if you don't run 
your own Bitcoin node, you're 

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,500
trusting someone else's and if 
you're a digital Nomad you have 

61
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,100
no excuse because now you could 
run a novel through a virtual 

62
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:31,800
private server. 
Visit noddle Dottie you today. 

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,700
That's right. 
And perfect episode. 

64
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,300
Literally tell you the 
importance of running your own 

65
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:41,700
Hardware, run your own version 
of Bitcoin core and you can only

66
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,400
do that. 
If you run your own node you 

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800
could build one or you could buy
one obviously, we recommend the 

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800
novel, it's one of the best 
anyways. 

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,800
So the actual tweet says 
aetherium run by Amazon 

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,800
controlled by the US government.
All right, just to just to 

71
00:03:55,808 --> 00:03:58,400
clarify that because I had a 
little brain fog. 

72
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Anyways, the Bitcoin price at 
the time of recording is that 

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
23,000 $365 sad. 
It's per dollar also known as 

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Moscow, time to thout 4280, 
block height 740 9855 reachable,

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,700
Bitcoin nodes, 14,800 and three 
blocks of The Happening. 90145 

76
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,900
having estimate April 21st, 
2024, it's coming up total, 

77
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:34,800
lightning network capacity, 4547
.33 Bitcoin, estimated value 

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,200
around. 
Million dollars hash rate. 

79
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:42,400
Last 90 days estimated hash 
rate, there's no way to actually

80
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,200
know the hash rate every 
website. 

81
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,700
Calculates it a little bit 
differently, 206 X2 hashes 

82
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,800
realize monetary inflation again
taking the US dollar absolutely 

83
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,700
to school one point seven, eight
percent during The Happening 

84
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,100
that number should be cut in 
half market cap also known as 

85
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:06,600
market capitalization 440, six 
billion dollars with It's a be 

86
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,600
kind of want to do a little bit 
of hold on. 

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,600
Before we got into that can we, 
can we go back to that realize 

88
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,200
monetary inflation? 
I just kind of realized that 

89
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,300
Bitcoin even at one point seven.
Eight percent is the lowest 

90
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,400
inflation rate of any money. 
Any currency out there in the 

91
00:05:24,408 --> 00:05:29,000
world and this isn't even fully 
diluted Bitcoin hard cap, 21 

92
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,200
million Bitcoins, man. 
I don't know if we ever all the 

93
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,700
people out there saw but the UK 
has double digit inflation. 

94
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,700
And that's them manipulating the
CPI. 

95
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,100
Bitcoin is the way anyways, go, 
Anika. 

96
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:44,100
I'm bullish. 
Bullish numbers there, dude. 

97
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:47,000
No, it's good. 
That you poured it out because 

98
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,200
that will continue to get worse.
So the Bitcoin is just gonna it 

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,800
shines the light of Truth on 
everything and it's just going 

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,500
to expose the scam that is Fiat 
currencies. 

101
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,900
Think about it this way. 
We are forced by legal tender 

102
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:06,800
laws to earn in a currency that 
literally, Steals from us. 

103
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,800
That is how the system is 
designed and Bitcoin shines, a 

104
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,200
light of Truth on that and it 
provides an alternative that 

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,800
can't be easily co-opted by 
governments, right? 

106
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Which is really emphasizes the 
importance of decentralization. 

107
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,800
So I think you brought up a 
great Point Opti. 

108
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:27,300
Screw the Fiat currencies. 
Anyways, I want to kind of have 

109
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,900
a throwback. 
This is the importance right? 

110
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,400
Of hot curling. 
Your Bitcoin don't trade. 

111
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,600
What Odell always says. 
Stay humble stack SATs. 

112
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,900
Audio listeners. 
This is a screenshot of Reddit 

113
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:43,000
and it says is someone who 
posted this 11 years ago and 

114
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,900
they said, of course, they 
deleted. 

115
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:48,200
Their account. 
Will Bitcoin be $20 each by the 

116
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800
end of August, if you're right, 
you could win 10 Bitcoin. 

117
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:54,800
Whoa. 
This is an easy bet I take no 

118
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,000
wow holy crap that's like twenty
thousand dollars for two hundred

119
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,700
forty thousand USD today. 
The power of absolute scarcity 

120
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:07,600
is something that we White don't
understand yet. 

121
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,900
Anyways, I have a video for us 
to watch today. 

122
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Hey, and react to. 
It is from the Robert Breedlove 

123
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,800
podcast and he brought on Catlin
long and Catelyn. 

124
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,300
Long was talking about the 
importance of self custody. 

125
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,600
Anyways, check out the clip and 
then we'll talk about it. 

126
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,800
Should have hid somewhere around
six figures in this in this 

127
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:34,200
previous cycle and it didn't. 
So why didn't it? 

128
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,900
Because there is a lot of paper 
Bitcoin out there. 

129
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:42,900
That's supplying the real Demand
with fake Supply and what I mean

130
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:46,600
by that paper Bitcoin is those 
are iou's if you added up all 

131
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,200
the ious from the intermediaries
and then added up the total 

132
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
number of Bitcoin outstanding. 
What it's nineteen Point 1 

133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,300
million or so, I don't think 
we've hit nineteen point two 

134
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,900
million yet. 
I'll bet you that we're well we 

135
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:01,100
already know, right? 
Because we've seen some failures

136
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,800
counterparty failures. 
We already know that the total 

137
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,700
number of Bitcoins promised to 
people through intermediaries is

138
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:11,800
far greater than 19 Point 1 
million, right? 

139
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,200
And and so what happened all 
those intermediaries that sold 

140
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:23,100
their customers and I owe you on
bitcoin to pay proverbial paper 

141
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:27,700
Bitcoin that went to satisfy 
real demand And any time you 

142
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,000
push the supply curve out. 
If you think about 

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,900
supply-demand, I did a tweet 
storm about this a little while 

144
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,900
ago, and someone just brought it
up to me recently, so I can dig 

145
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:38,299
it up and send it to you, so you
can send it out. 

146
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,500
Anytime. 
You push the supply curve out, 

147
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Leaving everything else. 
Constant leaving your demand 

148
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,700
constant? 
What happens? 

149
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,600
Your price goes down and that's 
what's happened here. 

150
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:54,700
So dude, it sounds like what 
they're trying to do, right? 

151
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,500
And this benefits, the 
government right? 

152
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,300
Is to manipulate Bitcoin the way
that they have successfully, 

153
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:01,400
manipulated the gold market for 
so long. 

154
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,100
Right. 
They have sold paper gold, right

155
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:08,300
and unfortunately, we're seeing 
the same thing happen. 

156
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,700
Here. 
They're just paid. 

157
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:12,600
You can I buy some Bitcoin from 
you? 

158
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,300
Sure, but I'll custody for it, 
I'll custody for it for a for 

159
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,300
you too. 
And how are you going to come? 

160
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,600
Arm that that institution 
actually says the Bitcoin that 

161
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,900
they sold you like, how do they,
how do you know that they 

162
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:29,400
actually have that Bitcoin? 
The only way to know is by 

163
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,100
taking self custody and this is 
why self custody is so 

164
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,900
important, right? 
Self custody basically tells the

165
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,800
exchange. 
Hey, you got to put up or shut 

166
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,500
up and what we saw with the 
whole Celsius debacle, in a lot 

167
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,400
of these platforms that 
collapse, what were they doing 

168
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,100
with a lot of the Bitcoin that 
they were holding for people? 

169
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,900
They were speculating with it. 
There are trying to get a return

170
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:56,400
on your Bitcoin and then when 
the price went down, they 

171
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,100
realized that they didn't have 
enough Bitcoin to honor all the 

172
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,200
deposits, all honor all the 
withdrawals and what do they do?

173
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,400
They had to file for bankruptcy 
and I suspect a lot of these 

174
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,800
exchanges that are even the big 
ones. 

175
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:15,100
They don't have the Bitcoin that
they say they do if everybody 

176
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:18,800
withdrew at the same time, they 
would not have enough Bitcoin to

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,500
honor all. 
Those withdraws. 

178
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,800
And this is the important of 
self custody. 

179
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:28,300
It does two things. 
It protects you from the BS. 

180
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:34,200
You know, partially reserved 
type of exchange bullshit behind

181
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,000
the scenes and it also kind of 
helps the price a little bit, 

182
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,800
right? 
Because if you could it's what 

183
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,900
Catlin long said, if you could 
extend the supply, if you can 

184
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,600
make the supply longer and 
longer and longer that's just 

185
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,300
that's just price. 
Depression is just going to 

186
00:10:48,308 --> 00:10:51,500
bring the price down. 
Now, what she said about, you 

187
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:56,000
know, the expectation of Bitcoin
sitting hitting six figures the 

188
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,200
last cycle, the the previous 
cycle. 

189
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,500
I don't know about that, but I 
can tell you this, I think that 

190
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:06,800
a lot of people had really high 
expectations for the last cycle,

191
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:11,000
and they're expecting a bitcoin 
price between 100 and 200 K and 

192
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,100
were let down. 
When that didn't happen, I think

193
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:15,900
that was a combination of two 
things. 

194
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,800
I think that the Chinese 
Communist party Band Bitcoin 

195
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,400
mining at Exact right time. 
You could make that argument 

196
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,000
that that's an attack on the 
price of Bitcoin attacking the 

197
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,900
price of Bitcoin is slowing down
adoption, right? 

198
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:32,500
The price of Bitcoin going up, 
is what attracts more people to 

199
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:34,400
come? 
That was the genius of Satoshi 

200
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,900
in the for the roughly four year
having cycle, right? 

201
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:40,300
So and the other component, 
right? 

202
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:45,200
Is man, whether it's, you know, 
the infamous Plan B and is 

203
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,700
bullshit ass, you know, stock to
flow and all the chain of Isis 

204
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,800
guys. 
And whatever everyone was 

205
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,000
expecting, a minimum 100K 
Bitcoin and I'm pretty sure that

206
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,200
I got a lot of people got super 
wrecked. 

207
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,700
When they did a leverage long 
and Bitcoin only hit 69k and 

208
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:06,100
there were expecting 100K 
Bitcoin minimum, right? 

209
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:09,200
I think that this problem with 
Catelyn long is talking about 

210
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,900
the rehypothecation of Bitcoin 
is going to continue to get 

211
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,800
worse. 
Not better, right? 

212
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,700
And really the way that you 
protect yourself against that is

213
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:21,900
taking self custody Listen, we 
can't win this revolution. 

214
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,300
Nothing will change. 
If people don't take back their 

215
00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:31,100
full control of their wealth and
by doing that taking back full 

216
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:34,300
Financial sovereignty, that's 
how you win the revolution. 

217
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,800
That is actually how we make 
change. 

218
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:42,900
If we don't do that, nothing 
will change, anyways, Alex? 

219
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:45,700
What are your thoughts on this? 
What are my thoughts? 

220
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:50,000
Yeah, well, I agree with you 
broadly and I think that oops, 

221
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,000
the desk. 
I think that the interesting 

222
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,500
parallel with with talking about
price suppression and Bitcoin 

223
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:03,300
via Bitcoin future shorts or 
whatever, you know, 

224
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,400
rehypothecation or whatever. 
The suppression mechanism is, 

225
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,400
the interesting parallel is over
in the precious metals 

226
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,500
Community, because, you know, 
you already mentioned it that 

227
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:17,300
Price suppression. 
You know, we're sort of calling 

228
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:22,400
foul in terms of, you know, 
those assets as well. 

229
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,700
But the Curious thing about it 
is that it's really says more 

230
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:31,800
about the US dollar being your 
unit of account than anything 

231
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,900
else, right? 
Is that if the unit of account 

232
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:38,200
in your head is still the US 
dollar like that's kind of 

233
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:43,700
residual of the siop. 
And so you know we talked about 

234
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:44,800
hyper Bitcoin is. 
Ation. 

235
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,300
But we don't talk a lot about 
what it's going to feel like to 

236
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:54,300
denominator everything in SATs. 
And I think that's, that's 

237
00:13:54,300 --> 00:14:00,100
really key because I believe 
that in a sound money, if your 

238
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:05,100
unit of account is has shifted 
and into into that sound money. 

239
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:09,600
Like if we even if there's some 
Shenanigans going on that 

240
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000
ultimately you're going to get 
better price, Discovery better 

241
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,900
free market unregulated. 
Free market signal for different

242
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:20,700
asset classes if their 
denominated in a sound money. 

243
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,400
And so, you know, you can look 
at the US dollar price history 

244
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,200
of gold to which is relatively 
not, absolutely scarce. 

245
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,700
And if you were to denominated 
everything in the whole universe

246
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:36,500
of Assets, in troy ounces of 
gold, there'd be something 

247
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:41,400
useful there in that data, I 
believe to and I think even 

248
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,300
more. 
So now that we have something 

249
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,700
that's absolutely scarce. 
Yes. 

250
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,200
And can then be transactive ol, 
you know, on lightning and 

251
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,100
everything. 
So, you know, I think price 

252
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:55,400
suppression is just a subsidy 
and it's sort of like a shadow 

253
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,400
Peg currency peg in a way that's
being done. 

254
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Sometimes in a really, you know,
illicit way I guess by Wall 

255
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Street. 
So, you know, it's it's just a 

256
00:15:09,008 --> 00:15:11,000
question of, are they really 
doing it? 

257
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Are they, aren't they? 
And then if they're doing it, 

258
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,300
how That break you know people 
speculate on the breaking of 

259
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:20,800
currency pegs all the time and 
it's an asymmetric bet you could

260
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,900
make a lot of money if you're 
right at the moment, when say 

261
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,700
the Swiss franc get son Peg from
the Euro and that's a multiple 

262
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:30,400
hundred standard deviation move 
or something that shouldn't 

263
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,300
happen. 
So yeah, so speculators could 

264
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,900
definitely play either side of 
that trade, if that is indeed 

265
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:43,500
happening because it's 
artificial Yeah, absolutely. 

266
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,600
And Opti, what is the plug 
perspective on this bro? 

267
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Well, first off, I'd loved 
Alex's point about Fiat, Maxis 

268
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,100
and people not switching the 
unit of account to bitcoin, I 

269
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:58,800
spot on completely spot-on. 
And then, furthermore, on the 

270
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600
rehypothecation, I love how 
Caitlyn long frame this. 

271
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:06,600
I say it all the time. 
You know, that the paper Bitcoin

272
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,000
iou's are definitely a problem. 
I've been, I've been touting the

273
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,400
same thing. 
A while, like self custody is 

274
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,100
the revolution. 
Make sure you hold your private 

275
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,700
Keys. 
Make sure you're taking Bitcoin 

276
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,100
off exchanges, if you are using 
exchanges. 

277
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,000
And then furthermore, everyone 
has the memes of like 

278
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,400
institutions are coming. 
You know, the institutions are 

279
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,200
coming, the institutions are 
here, and it's like, yes, they 

280
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,100
are here, and they will try to 
rehypothecation your Bitcoin. 

281
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:35,100
If you do not take your keys 
into self custody, I would say 

282
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:38,400
this is a feature, but it's 
definitely a bug, but we know 

283
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,600
it's back to the whole idea, you
know, people in the Fiat. 

284
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:45,300
Game are going to play or try to
continue to play the Fiat games 

285
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,300
in Bitcoin until they get 
wrecked. 

286
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,100
And, or furthermore until you 
guys do Bank runs on the 

287
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,400
exchanges out there, like shouts
out to. 

288
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:58,600
Is it January 2nd or January 3rd
on, you know, the date of of 

289
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,900
Bitcoins creation? 
The take your keys day. 

290
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,099
So, you know, as bitcoiners as 
part of the culture, we 

291
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,800
definitely try to get people to 
understand that self custody is 

292
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,400
the way that you can't use an 
exchange to hold Bitcoin. 

293
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,700
But also this reminded me of 
that one, how many posts where 

294
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,700
he talks about in the future. 
There will be fractional Reserve

295
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,800
Bitcoin Banks and they will be 
fuel Reserve, Bitcoin Banks and 

296
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,599
people in the free market will 
have to choose what products 

297
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,300
they want to use and what risk 
they're willing to take. 

298
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:35,600
And maybe he was saying that 
eventually, this this risk and 

299
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600
trade-off will be a lot more up 
front. 

300
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:42,200
But right now, we definitely 
know that the institutions are 

301
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,500
suppressing the Bitcoin price. 
We know a lot of people are 

302
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:47,700
rehypothecation their Bitcoin 
out there and it's up to you 

303
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,900
guys to call their Bluff. 
Take your Bitcoin into self 

304
00:17:50,900 --> 00:17:55,200
custody and furthermore, they 
can only suppress the price of 

305
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,800
Bitcoin for so long until the 
DCA Army and the having takes 

306
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,300
over the supply and the demand 
just eats up all this money. 

307
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:07,600
So guys, continue to DCA 
continue to stack SATs continue 

308
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,500
to spread the sound money gospel
because this is the revolution. 

309
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,100
Take responsibility for your 
money and stop. 

310
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:18,100
Outsourcing your trust, guys. 
Remember what it says in the 

311
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:21,800
white paper, the financial 
system that we currently live in

312
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,500
is good enough but it just 
Outsource too much trust. 

313
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:29,100
So we're calling their Bluff. 
We know these people aren't 

314
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,800
trustworthy. 
We know that. 

315
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:35,700
Hey look, I'd like to think that
I'm a noble human, but, you 

316
00:18:35,708 --> 00:18:39,000
know, if you gave me the power 
to control people's money, I'm 

317
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,500
pretty sure I would also print 
more money. 

318
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,400
Me and, you know, it's like, you
know, it, hey, I am not above my

319
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,500
incentives, I understand this, I
am only human. 

320
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:51,000
So, you know, that these people 
are out here trying to re 

321
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,900
hypothecate your Bitcoin, which 
means take your Bitcoin into 

322
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:58,100
self custody, the revolution is 
self custody. 

323
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,300
We say this all the time, and 
we're going to continue to say 

324
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:05,500
it forever, because that is the 
revolution guys. 

325
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:11,000
Boom, exactly, Amen to that. 
Anyways, let's move on to the 

326
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,300

00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Mom. 
Alright, so today we are 

336
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:51,000
literally going to dunk on eith.
We're going to expose a thief 

337
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,400
and then we're going to get into
the details of how to send 

338
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,200
Bitcoin without using the 
internet. 

339
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,500
First of all, this is Brian. 
Not wrong. 

340
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:04,400
He's the CEO of these shit coin 
exchange, these chick coin 

341
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,100
casino coinbase. 
He says sanctioning kit 

342
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,100
technology as opposed and I'll 
tell you where the signal is, 

343
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:12,000
right. 
Right. 

344
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,900
Sanctioning technology as 
opposed to an individual or 

345
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:17,600
entity seems like a bad 
precedent to me and it should 

346
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,700
probably be challenged could 
have many Downstream unintended 

347
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,000
consequences and you're like, 
okay, you know, at first you're 

348
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,300
like yeah, solidarity, Brian 
Armstrong is standing with us 

349
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:34,600
but If you scroll down, it says 
hopefully obvious point. 

350
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:40,600
We will always follow the law. 
How does that apply? 

351
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:43,500
I'll get to it in a sec. 
This is e. 

352
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Nodes, dot-org. 
This is what I use a lot because

353
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,200
I was dropping some comments, a 
couple of these last couple 

354
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,300
days, right? 
Where it's really been exposed. 

355
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:57,400
That etherium is really already 
been captured by the US 

356
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,800
government and a lot of the eith
people were having such 

357
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,400
cognitive dissidence. 
I had to bring up the receipts, 

358
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:07,600
right? 
And this is a really good source

359
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,600
for that, right? 
And you ever Underneath person 

360
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:15,800
we go to network types, right? 
And this is the type of ethereum

361
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,600
nodes. 
Remember aetherium is extremely 

362
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,800
resource-intensive, right? 
That's how they have all the 

363
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,500
smart contract, capability, etc,
etc. 

364
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Because of that, you need. 
It requires High Hardware 

365
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,500
requirements or specific 
Hardware requirements. 

366
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:37,600
Most of which most people don't 
have at home, right? 

367
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:41,000
So what happens, they Outsource 
A lot of that, a lot of those 

368
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,900
harder requirements to server 
Farms. 

369
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:46,400
The problem is that there's only
a handful of companies that 

370
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,400
could afford to run those those 
server Farms, right? 

371
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:55,000
And here is the companies that 
are running that and you'll 

372
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,100
recognize a lot of them from 
Amazon. 

373
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:01,300
Amazon right now is running 48% 
of ethereum nodes. 

374
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:05,000
That's right. 
Ladies and gentlemen, 48% of 

375
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,400
etherium is run on Amazon, web 
servers servers Oracle. 

376
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,900
You've heard of them, Ali, 
Google Microsoft, oft more 

377
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:18,300
Amazon digitalocean, right? 
I'm sure you recognize a lot of 

378
00:22:18,308 --> 00:22:20,900
these companies. 
So, what does that mean? 

379
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,900
That means that they're very 
vulnerable to capture by 

380
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:29,200
government. 
How long until the US government

381
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:35,600
says, Hey Amazon, Google Oracle.
You can't run an etherium node 

382
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,400
that's not sanctioned compliant.
How long until that happens? 

383
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,800
And as you could see with the 
coinbase CEO, At the end of the 

384
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,000
day, they're CEOs, they want to 
remain business, they're not 

385
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,600
revolutionaries. 
The people are the 

386
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,900
revolutionaries and I'll get to 
the difference in the design 

387
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:58,300
between the two networks, right?
Because hopefully, we will 

388
00:22:58,300 --> 00:23:00,000
always follow the law. 
He's the CEO of a public 

389
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,500
company. 
I'm going to fight the 

390
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:04,300
government right now. 
If you compare that with 

391
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:06,700
Bitcoin, this is why the four 
cores in 2017. 

392
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:10,600
We're so important because it 
was the people that rose up to 

393
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,000
the most powerful mining. 
Conglomerate at the time. 

394
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,800
Which was bit me and said, hey, 
we don't want bigger blocks. 

395
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,300
Why did we not want bigger 
blocks? 

396
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,400
Bigger blocks require more 
resources. 

397
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:30,200
Meaning it would require people 
to invest more and nodes. 

398
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:36,400
Meaning some people would 
inevitably run those nodes on 

399
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,500
servers because it's a lot 
easier if you just rent, someone

400
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:42,000
else's computer rather than 
running it at home. 

401
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,600
If you look at how Bitcoin is 
done, the resource requirements 

402
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,100
are low. 
It's about, it's between two to 

403
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:50,800
three hundred dollars. 
If you want to build it 

404
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,500
yourself. 
If you want to buy euro note it 

405
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:58,900
goes up to 1,900 bucks. 
Try doing that with aetherium, 

406
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,100
it will require thousands and 
thousands and thousands of 

407
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:05,600
dollars which is why you get 
this situation where the 

408
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,400
majority of nodes are run on 
giant server companies, whether 

409
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:17,500
that's a Amazon Google Microsoft
and that makes them prone to 

410
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:20,000
capture by government. 
But it's not only that. 

411
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,100
Let's talk about proof of steak 
or a lot of shit coiners, talk 

412
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,500
about oh a proof of stake is 
going to change things. 

413
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,500
No it's not. 
You know, who the biggest acres 

414
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:33,700
are? 
Coinbase Kraken. 

415
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:42,300
Bitrex American exchanges that 
are prone to government 

416
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:46,400
regulation and capture and we 
saw huge arguments happening on 

417
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,400
Twitter and basically where they
were talking about is hey the 

418
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,000
etherium community needs to 
stand up. 

419
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,800
The etherium community is not in
the position that the Bitcoin 

420
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,000
Community was in. 
When they did the user activated

421
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,600
soft work the user activated 
software, could only happen 

422
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:10,000
because the people run the 
Bitcoin software by running 

423
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,500
their own nodes. 
Which is why we always advocate 

424
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:16,000
for that on the show. 
If you want voting power, run 

425
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,900
your own note you when you run 
your own node, you get to decide

426
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:23,500
as an individual, what Bitcoin 
software you want to run. 

427
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,700
And what Bitcoin software you 
don't want to run. 

428
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:30,000
But when you Outsource that 
responsibility to a server Farm 

429
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,900
run by a large corporation, 
that's beholden to the US 

430
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:36,600
government. 
You don't have that choice, you 

431
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:44,100
Outsource that choice. 
This is why etherium inevitably 

432
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:48,900
will be captured. this is the 
future of ethereum and which is 

433
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:54,000
why you have Me theorizing this 
you have Corey clips and also 

434
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,700
theorizing this as well. 
If you just use common sense, 

435
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:03,800
what is the next logical move? 
The next logical move is for 

436
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,100
aetherium to get in bed with the
state to make sure the state 

437
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:13,800
protects it with the regulatory 
moat and at the same time, 

438
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,800
attack Bitcoin, because they 
want to pump their own bags. 

439
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:21,600
Aetherium is not built to 
separate money from State. 

440
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,100
It's a scam, it's always been a 
scam now because I'm saying that

441
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:29,800
that doesn't mean that in the 
short-term etherium can't 

442
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,300
outperform Bitcoin. 
Does it mean that? 

443
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,700
But what it, what are you here 
for? 

444
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:43,400
What gets you up in the morning?
I came here to get rich. 

445
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:45,600
I'm not going to lie as well. 
I got into Bitcoin. 

446
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,400
But I stayed here for the 
revolution. 

447
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:53,500
I stayed here because I want to 
free Mankind, from the tyranny 

448
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,500
of Central Banking. 
That's what this is about. 

449
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,200
That's what gets me up in the 
morning. 

450
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,500
Absolutely. 
And only Bitcoin through its 

451
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:03,900
decentralization is capable of 
doing that. 

452
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Aetherium and it's already doing
that, they're already advocating

453
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,700
for Central Bank, digital 
currencies being built on 

454
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:14,400
ethereum. 
They're already using their 

455
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,900
marketing money to attack, 
Bitcoins proof of work, which is

456
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:19,800
what makes Bitcoin 
uncorruptable. 

457
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,900
Anyways, what are your thoughts 
on this city? 

458
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:30,500
Then we'll go ahead and hit it 
first. 

459
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:38,300
It was a good ramp. 
No, I agree. 

460
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:42,700
I do I have an echo. 
It's all good. 

461
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:49,300
The the whole point of a central
bank, right? 

462
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:53,400
Is to run a currency Zone but 
then to kind of obfuscate that 

463
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,600
fact and so the fact that You 
know, now we're talking about 

464
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,300
CBD seize. 
The people that should be really

465
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:04,400
confused or worried about that, 
right? 

466
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,700
Are the bankers themselves that 
are in the FED system or in each

467
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:10,700
of these currencies on 
Management Systems because 

468
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,400
they're the ones who've been 
lending that currency into 

469
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,700
existence. 
I mean, everyone should be 

470
00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:19,600
worried about it because of the 
surveillance aspect but it's 

471
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,300
it's clearly a move to cashless 
Society worldwide and that's 

472
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:27,400
really bad. 
Delivery. 

473
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:31,100
I think that's just 
categorically that for Liberty 

474
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,900
and and it's a little ironic 
with bitcoiners to kind of 

475
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,000
attack on the Cashflow subject 
because obviously we want 

476
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,900
Bitcoin to be cashless but we 
also want it to enhance Liberty 

477
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:46,300
everywhere it touches everywhere
in the world. 

478
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:52,500
The way to do that is to make 
sure there are crossovers to 

479
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,300
completely Anonymous cash, 
equivalents and cash. 

480
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,100
I mean, the idea of having your 
seed phrase, on a metal plate, 

481
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:03,900
is physical, right? 
And so that's feels like cash 

482
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:05,900
and opened. 
I'm as a little physical a bit 

483
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,800
of Bitcoin so that feels sort of
like cash. 

484
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,700
I think that there's a lot of 
good ethos in the community 

485
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,900
toward resisting cashless 
Society nonsense. 

486
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,400
Absolutely. 
And, and that's the key, right? 

487
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,700
Is that fine? 
They want to move it a cashless 

488
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:26,600
Society. 
At the end of the day they're 

489
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,000
the Ones that control that money
right with Bitcoin is it's like 

490
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,100
listen we're just going to opt 
out completely of your system. 

491
00:29:34,100 --> 00:29:36,200
You want to take it to this 
dystopian? 

492
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,100
You know, vision of the future 
where these Central planners 

493
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,200
control every single move you 
do. 

494
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,400
And now they're going down the 
bid of now you can eat certain 

495
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,300
foods because you know, Carbon 
and all that BS. 

496
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:51,300
Yeah. 
Bitcoin is the way out. 

497
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:54,100
And which is why we always say 
on the show, we're going to keep

498
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:57,700
saying it till the end of time 
until they take us off the air 

499
00:29:57,900 --> 00:30:01,800
Bitcoin or slavery. 
Anyways Opti, what's up, yeah? 

500
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:08,500
Mika, Jones and full of fact. 
Let's go first off Shout out to 

501
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:13,000
Jeff Bezos the true owner of 
ethereum 48% of he's nodes 

502
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,300
running on AWS servers amazing 
amazing. 

503
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:20,400
Imagine being a part of the the 
pseudo decentralization theater 

504
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,900
art, that is aetherium and shit 
coins. 

505
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:28,000
And then this this reminded me 
of thought it was a joke, right?

506
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,500
I first read about ether. 
Yeah. 

507
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:33,000
All right, exactly. 
So this this reminds me of the 

508
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,400
tweet that I put up yesterday by
Bitcoin is saving and it was the

509
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,200
eye. 
Yeah, yeah. 

510
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,200
Oh my God. 
Shout out Jeff Bezos. 

511
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,100
Yeah, he's laughing all the way 
to the bank. 

512
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,600
Anyways, this reminds me of 
Bitcoin is savings tweet that I 

513
00:30:45,608 --> 00:30:49,800
mentioned yesterday about 
bitcoiners bullying and ofak 

514
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,800
compliant company and he's heads
meth heads just crumbling to the

515
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,600
ofac compliance to all you Eve 
guys out there when ofac 

516
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,600
compliant nodes because we know 
that's coming soon. 

517
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:06,800
And then furthermore you said 
something on the lines of when 

518
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,700
we'll eat Aligned with the state
and I will just double down and 

519
00:31:10,700 --> 00:31:13,200
say that eath is already aligned
with the state. 

520
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:16,700
Look at who is backing you look 
at who they're partnered with. 

521
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:20,600
It's pretty clear follow the 
money and you will see what is 

522
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,000
happening. 
And then furthermore Nico I'm 

523
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,200
not the biggest fan of the meme 
of voting power with your node 

524
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,200
but I do understand what you're 
saying that choose your rules 

525
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,200
and that is what is going on 
here, guys. 

526
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,100
Vote with your pocketbook. 
Use a node, Don't just run a 

527
00:31:39,108 --> 00:31:41,000
node. 
Use a node verify your 

528
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,900
transactions with that note 
because then, you know, you're 

529
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:48,400
actually using Bitcoin and you 
are on the Bitcoin Network. 

530
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,400
And then furthermore, I will 
also double down on the meme. 

531
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,600
Guys, came for the money, but 
stayed the fix the money. 

532
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,400
This is, this is just the normal
one of the normal Bitcoin 

533
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,200
feedback loops number goes up, 
people get caught up in in the 

534
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,800
fomo and then they start to 
double down an Tation. 

535
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,900
They go farther down the rabbit 
hole and then they realize there

536
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:13,200
is no going back to the Fiat 
system. 

537
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,100
I don't understand how anyone 
could become a Bitcoin or how 

538
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,000
anyone could get fully orange 
peeled. 

539
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:21,300
And then they go back to the 
Fiat system. 

540
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:24,700
It's literally that scene from 
The Matrix where the guy, you 

541
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:27,800
know, unplugs and, and he's 
eating the steak and he's like, 

542
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,600
man. 
I know it's fake, but it tastes 

543
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,800
so good. 
Like, I just, I can't, I can't 

544
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,200
in my right mind. 
See a big Corner. 

545
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,200
Really go back to the field. 
Is the mic. 

546
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:40,800
There is no alternative guys, we
say this all the time. 

547
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,300
Bitcoin fixes us. 
Bitcoin is Bitcoin is Hope and 

548
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:47,500
that's why we do what we do. 
But furthermore, I'm gonna 

549
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:51,700
Double Down, guys, a push to a 
cashless Society in my opinion, 

550
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,300
just means a hyper Bitcoin eyes 
world. 

551
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,200
I have faith in humanity as 
these totalitarian and these 

552
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,700
authoritarians double down on, 
making sure that you are tet 

553
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:06,300
tracked, bagged and compliant. 
People will find the Escape door

554
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:11,800
and that escape door is Bitcoin.
So, as much as I am concerned 

555
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,700
and worried about these 
totalitarian in these 

556
00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:19,300
authoritarians trying to push 
Society to a cashless CBC type 

557
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:25,500
system, we have Bitcoin and 
people will escape into Bitcoin 

558
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:31,100
because no one in their right 
mind wants to be chattel. 

559
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,900
You like we said it, we say it 
all the time it's Bitcoin or 

560
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:37,300
it's slavery. 
And this isn't even hype like 

561
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:38,100
hi. 
Bali. 

562
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:40,800
It's literally in their 
rhetoric. 

563
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,300
They want to control you 
completely, they want to make 

564
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:45,200
sure that they can shut you off 
Society. 

565
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,300
If you have wrong, think they 
want to make sure that you can't

566
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:51,900
even save money. 
This is absolutely disgusting. 

567
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:56,400
Anti Human Behavior. 
They're stealing your life force

568
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,300
and they know it. 
These parasites at the top. 

569
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,600
Shouts out to praveena. 
I'm stealing that Meme. 

570
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Want you in total control? 
It's absolutely disgusting. 

571
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,300
This is Why we Bitcoin? 
This is why we spread the sound 

572
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,500
money gospel. 
This is why we show up every 

573
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:15,699
single day to make sure that 
people understand that. 

574
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:19,300
Yes, this is actually happening.
This isn't a conspiracy. 

575
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,000
This is in the rhetoric in the 
writings, but you have a 

576
00:34:23,007 --> 00:34:25,600
solution and the solution is 
Bitcoin. 

577
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,000
Remember what? 
We were talking about with 1971 

578
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
and how people didn't even know 
there was a problem, you know, 

579
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,600
people still don't even know 
what Fiat means out there. 

580
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,000
But we have Bitcoin guys, so you
guys need to be louder. 

581
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,800
You guys need to be proud to be 
a Bitcoin. 

582
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,699
ER, you need to spread the sound
money gospel, because there is 

583
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:45,600
no alternative and who knows how
long they can kick the can down 

584
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,300
the road, but if you need 
Bitcoin, it's already too late. 

585
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:53,000
You want to be prepared and Save
in Bitcoin, because you never 

586
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,400
know what the hell is going to 
happen, man. 

587
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,500
It's getting crazy out. 
There it is, getting crazy out 

588
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:58,900
there. 
That's right. 

589
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:01,700
That's right. 
Anyways, moving on, moving on, 

590
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,500
we have a little bit of time 
left to cover this. 

591
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:07,500
How do you? 
Bitcoin without the internet. 

592
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,600
That is it questions? 
So, it says, imagine waking up 

593
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,400
one morning to find that the 
internet is down. 

594
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,400
Not because the Wi-Fi has been 
disconnected. 

595
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,000
Instead, your government has 
pulled the plug, you have, no, 

596
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
you have no idea when he'll be 
back online and in the meantime,

597
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,900
you're cut off from life as, you
know, it ranging from contact 

598
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:27,300
from loved ones abroad to paying
for anything by card. 

599
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:29,900
Since Society isn't big on 
keeping cash. 

600
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:33,700
These days and ATM stock up. 
Only so much paper money, at a 

601
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:35,900
time. 
Chances are, you'll have to step

602
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:39,100
aside or engage in a few of his 
fist fights. 

603
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,400
If you're to put a meal on the 
table, Since Bitcoin is itself, 

604
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,500
a form of digital currency would
amount of pre-planning to set up

605
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,000
a transaction. 
But in theory it could still 

606
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,200
operate even when conventional 
options are forced fortunately 

607
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,800
removed from the equation. 
Depending on the political 

608
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,000
stability of your geographic 
location. 

609
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,300
Learning how to send Bitcoin 
without the internet. 

610
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,100
Could be nothing more than a fun
Sunday afternoon science 

611
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:07,000
project. 
Then again it could provide the 

612
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,800
way out of a tight spot one day.
Now what are those methods? 

613
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:14,800
This is the first one come 2018.
There is a new experiment, Town 

614
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,500
ingredients book, 
brooklyn-based, go Tena, great 

615
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:22,600
company, a mobile mobile 
long-range off-grid consumer 

616
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,300
mesh Network and a privacy will 
privacy wallet, Samurai wallet. 

617
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,300
New Zealand developer 
transported Bitcoin or shit 

618
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,000
going from a distance of twelve 
point six kilometers away 

619
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,700
entirely offline using only a 
network. 

620
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:39,700
Disconnected. 
Android phone and for portable 

621
00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:41,400
antennas. 
This is what we're talking 

622
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,000
about. 
The mesh Network, this is an 

623
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,500
example of the mesh Network 
being used. 

624
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:49,400
The downside of that, of course,
is, that's a lot of relay 

625
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
stations, right? 
That's a lot of Hardware. 

626
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:54,000
Now, let's move on to the next 
one. 

627
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,400
This is the famous one. 
This is the one that nvk. 

628
00:36:56,500 --> 00:37:02,700
He has pinned to his Twitter and
he sent Bitcoin through ham 

629
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:05,200
radio. 
So, with Novak and Patterson's 

630
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:09,900
latest feature crypto, Twitter 
went wild Zabo showing that he's

631
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,200
still a firm. 
Proponent of taking Bitcoin 

632
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,300
Skyward. 
Chimed in to congratulate 

633
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,500
congratulate the duo for a 
successful send-off that not 

634
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:23,900
even a snowstorm could stop. 
So what are they talking about? 

635
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,900
Yeah it's really really 
absolutely badass. 

636
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:32,700
So bam, Bitcoin sent over seven 
point zero, seven seven MHz via 

637
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,900
js8 call to Samuel Pat right. 
So and I don't know if you guys 

638
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:42,500
know a lot about ham radio it 
but it bounces off the 

639
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,100
ionosphere. 
So a ham radio signal from India

640
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,900
which is halfway across the 
planet of where I am today, 

641
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,800
which is on the east coast of 
the States ham, radio signal 

642
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,700
from India, could get here. 
And if I have a radio, if I have

643
00:37:56,700 --> 00:38:00,400
a ham radio, I could hear their 
Transmissions right. 

644
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,400
So it's very long distance and 
what Novak would nvk proved 

645
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,300
here? 
Was that? 

646
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:09,800
Yes, you can send signal through
radio but what about the other 

647
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,100
alternative? 
The other alternative, which 

648
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:14,500
honestly is my favorite right 
now? 

649
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:19,200
It's the block stream satellite.
Yes, block stream has a 

650
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,900
satellite or multiple 
satellites. 

651
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,100
Literally in space that you can 
connect to the Bitcoin Network, 

652
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,800
through the block stream 
satellite network broadcast, the

653
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,500
Bitcoin blockchain around the 
world 24/7 for free protecting 

654
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,700
against Network interruptions 
and providing areas without 

655
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:38,400
reliable internet connections 
with the opportunity to use 

656
00:38:38,500 --> 00:38:41,300
Bitcoin. 
But it's not only that this new 

657
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:44,400
company which is why I wanted to
cover this today, Bitcoin, 

658
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,100
without internet. 
Now, you can send Bitcoin 

659
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:50,700
through SMS. Now, the 
unfortunate about a part about 

660
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:53,500
this Right? 
Is that it's a centralized 

661
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:56,700
service but it actually makes a 
lot of sense, right? 

662
00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:00,200
And Kenya goat on he's home 
home, which I'm assuming he's 

663
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,000
the founder of this company. 
He explains that topping up a 

664
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,100
phone with airtime is as commas 
as credit card payments in the 

665
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:10,400
west, a report by Caribou backs 
to the statement. 94% Financial 

666
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,900
transactions in. 
Africa are through ussd, the 

667
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:17,900
protocol used to send text 
messages, whereas just 6% of 

668
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:22,100
these transactions are made Via 
mobile apps, Soooo in some while

669
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:25,100
there are millions of phones in 
Africa, they're mostly used for 

670
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:27,800
texting kg has stumbled onto 
something. 

671
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,400
That could be huge for Bitcoin 
adoption in Africa and that's 

672
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,000
badass. 
Here is an example, some 

673
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,600
screenshots of that happening. 
Right has gifted you ten ten 

674
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,000
thousand SATs, right. 
And all you have to do is 

675
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,700
through text messages and also 
another thing is that Bitcoin at

676
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:47,800
the end of the day Bitcoin is 
tax, Bitcoin is speech so you 

677
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,600
can sign a transaction. 
Forest comes to worse. 

678
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,900
I don't suggest this but 
technically you can do it by 

679
00:39:55,900 --> 00:39:58,700
hand. 
Technically you could hide a 

680
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:02,100
Bitcoin transaction in a ton of 
emojis, right? 

681
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:05,000
And you could write up a 
software that could interpret 

682
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,900
those emojis as certain 
characters and boom, that is 

683
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:12,000
assigned Bitcoin transaction. 
Now, why am I telling you all of

684
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,500
this? 
I'm telling you all of this to 

685
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:18,500
make the point that you can't 
stop the signal. 

686
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:27,000
You can't stop the honey badger.
Censorship and tyranny and the 

687
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,000
Quest for a better life to 
improve your living situation 

688
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,300
is, the mother of innovation 
people will find the way like 

689
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:39,400
water going around a walk, a 
rock and then over time, that 

690
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,800
water will chip off at the rock 
over a long time, period, right.

691
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,800
Can't stop Bitcoin. 
Eventually the signal goes 

692
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,200
through. 
So why is this so consequential?

693
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:53,200
It doesn't matter. 
If you're living in the most 

694
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,600
totalitarian country, let's give
the example of North Korea. 

695
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,100
Now, with Bitcoin, you for the 
first hint, time in your life, 

696
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,900
have the chance to own private 
property, even in that 

697
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:10,300
totalitarian state without fear 
of censorship or government 

698
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:13,400
seizure, they would need to find
out that you have that Bitcoin 

699
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,900
wallet and they would still need
to find out your sea. 

700
00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:18,300
Of course, you know, they could 
torture you, they could put you 

701
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:21,300
in a box that can tell you that 
in there you they could tell you

702
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:23,400
that you're not. 
Not going anywhere, fine. 

703
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:26,200
A government or a nation-state 
could definitely do that on an 

704
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,700
individual by individual basis, 
but try doing that to a whole 

705
00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:34,400
country's population how you 
going to convince a whole bunch 

706
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,100
of people? 
Hey hand over your Bitcoin seed,

707
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:43,300
for your safety and this, ladies
and gentlemen, because it's so 

708
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:46,600
hard to stop the signal. 
It's so hard for governments to 

709
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,900
confiscate and redistribute 
wealth. 

710
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:51,600
Effectively is why I believe 
this. 

711
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,100
Is going to completely change, 
the relationship between 

712
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:57,200
individuals and their 
governments. 

713
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,400
And this is going to change the 
dynamic. 

714
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,500
And eventually in, this is the 
theory in the sovereign 

715
00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:04,300
individual. 
You're going to start to see a 

716
00:42:04,300 --> 00:42:08,200
customer type relationship with 
governments rather than the one 

717
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,400
that they have today, which is 
more like Russian surf, pay your

718
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,800
taxes, shut up. 
Inflation is high. 

719
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,900
We're going to hire 87,000 
agents. 

720
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Just to make sure that you don't
complain too much with Bitcoin. 

721
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,900
It gives you the power to vote. 
With your wallet and vote with 

722
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:25,300
your feet. 
And now I suspect you're going 

723
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:28,800
to see more and more Sovereign 
individuals going to 

724
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,700
jurisdictions in which they are 
treated best. 

725
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:34,300
And we already started to see 
that a little bit with Bitcoin 

726
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,300
Miners and how they on a 
completely decentralized basis, 

727
00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:43,200
following their own incentives 
migrated from China to the 

728
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,700
United States looking for 
financial opportunity, looking 

729
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:49,800
for profit. 
And that profit I think is one 

730
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,600
of the best incentives ever 
created. 

731
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,700
And it is definitely a lot 
stronger than the only thing 

732
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:56,800
they have left, which is 
coercion. 

733
00:42:56,900 --> 00:42:58,500
Anyways, Opti, what are your 
thoughts brother? 

734
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:02,300
Well, Nico, I'm really glad that
you covered this. 

735
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:04,700
This article Chef's out to that 
company. 

736
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:08,900
My chinkara, I believe it means 
money or something of the like 

737
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:11,200
in. 
And I don't know what language. 

738
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,800
But anyways, I was going to 
cover this for the culture, but 

739
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,200
I was going to cover in a 
different light and it's 

740
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,500
essentially the signal is, 
spreading guys to the places 

741
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:21,900
that need it first. 
First. 

742
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,200
And, you know, like a lot of 
people can say what they want 

743
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,500
about Bitcoin in the first 
world, or what have you. 

744
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:31,700
But as we've seen countries in 
the third world and individuals 

745
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:35,500
are adopting Bitcoin, and this 
is absolutely bullish because 

746
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,200
imagine just just having really 
bad, bad currencies, and that 

747
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,400
being your only option and then 
further more than you have to go

748
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,800
to the ultimate shit coin, which
is the dollar. 

749
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,600
But, you know, the signal 
spreading. 

750
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:57,300
And the people that Bitcoin will
get Bitcoin first and those that

751
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,000
we don't paint in good light 
will get Bitcoin last. 

752
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,600
And this is a feature, not a 
bug. 

753
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,300
So shout-out to imagine Cora. 
I think this is a really 

754
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:07,400
awesome. 
I listened to a space over the 

755
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,500
weekend and super bullish on 
this idea and also shouts out to

756
00:44:11,500 --> 00:44:13,600
us TECO. 
They partnered with my chinkara,

757
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,000
one of my favorite Bitcoin 
companies and I just love what 

758
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,400
they're doing, this is just 
absolutely bullish in my 

759
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,500
opinion. 
I can't wait to see this this 

760
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,300
This type of Bitcoin product 
spread out across the world 

761
00:44:26,300 --> 00:44:31,500
because people need Bitcoin and 
the signal can't be stopped. 

762
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:36,000
So like this is this is I think 
also just a testament to what 

763
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,600
Niko we says, you know people 
cannot fathom the idea of 

764
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,800
innovation and how humans can 
innovate and continue to Route 

765
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,200
Around The Legacy system. 
And this is just another example

766
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,800
of that man, you know like first
we have El Salvador. 

767
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,600
Now we have what Like Bitcoin 
Lake in Guatemala. 

768
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,300
We have a few more Latin 
American countries that are 

769
00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:59,900
doing their own initiatives, to 
spread the sound money gospel. 

770
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:04,200
And now we're continuing to do 
this on the African continent, 

771
00:45:04,300 --> 00:45:07,800
it just absolutely bullish. 
I'm really excited to see how 

772
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,200
far this product goes and and 
this company goes and how many 

773
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,000
users they can get. 
And then furthermore, just to 

774
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,400
see more people and more 
Domino's follow along with with 

775
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,400
this kind of product or these 
kind of ideas. 

776
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,500
So, in my opinion, absolutely 
Bulletproof. 

777
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,300
Josh, I'm really glad that we 
covered this one. 

778
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,700
You're muted, Nico, your 
thoughts Alex, and then we'll 

779
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:33,300
move on to the culture. 
Sure. 

780
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:41,900
Yeah, I think that the The whole
idea of Distributing it out, 

781
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,000
it's sort of an echo you know, 
in an easy format. 

782
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,700
So text message or whatever or 
having these other ways to get 

783
00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:56,100
it over ham radio you know into 
third world countries. 

784
00:45:56,500 --> 00:46:02,400
It's sort of an echo of El. 
Salvador are dropping which as a

785
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,200
Libertarian and me didn't like a
whole lot because it's kind of 

786
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,800
like a you VI in a way to just 
tear drop money free money on 

787
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,500
people or free Bitcoin on 
people. 

788
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:20,200
So the interesting thing that 
happens when you imagine a whole

789
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,900
lot more suddenly a whole lot 
more medium of exchange 

790
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:28,500
occurring in a given Zone like 
El Salvador or even with all 

791
00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:32,200
these little text message, 
transactional, things happening 

792
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,600
say in Africa. 
Is that the velocity goes up, 

793
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,200
right? 
The monetary value, Velocity 

794
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,600
goes up by a lot for the sets 
that are actually being used to 

795
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,300
trade goods and services on the 
ground in the real economy. 

796
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,200
And it's not clear to me just 
the economics of that. 

797
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,200
Oh whether or not that you know 
what that would do for the 

798
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,700
dollar price, right? 
But the certainly the local 

799
00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:59,400
currency that it's replacing 
like the naira Nigeria or 

800
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,200
something is going to be 
competing, then against directly

801
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,400
against that. 
And so the response of 

802
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:10,400
governments is Is huge because 
then at that point, they're 

803
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,900
going to see that as a direct 
threat to their currency like 

804
00:47:12,900 --> 00:47:17,100
erdowan did in turkey and 
they're going to respond with a 

805
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:21,600
feedback loop of tyranny or you 
know, forcing people to do 

806
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,300
certain things. 
And before I came on Nico I was 

807
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:29,100
reading up about the Venezuelan 
hyperinflation a little bit and 

808
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:32,100
you know Maduro even made it 
illegal to post the real 

809
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:34,100
numbers. 
I guess of what was going on 

810
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:36,600
with the inflation and things 
like that. 

811
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,900
That. 
So it's it's so much of this 

812
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,200
currency war on the hyper, local
level. 

813
00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:47,500
And a lot of these innovations 
that are going to push it to be 

814
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:50,200
medium of exchange. 
At that local level are going to

815
00:47:50,208 --> 00:47:53,300
trigger governments, to do more 
and more stupid stuff. 

816
00:47:54,900 --> 00:48:01,600
Yep, absolutely Opti. 
Let's move on to the Daily 

817

All right, guys. 

834
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:05,100
Well, as I told you at the 
beginning of this show we get a 

835
00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:09,700
lot of shit for our sponsors and
what we do and Shout out the 

836
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:11,600
swan. 
This is the swan segment. 

837
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,700
So this is a tweet that we were 
going to comment at the 

838
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:18,500
beginning of the week but we 
have so much good signal that we

839
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:21,700
just didn't get to it and I 
figured that it would be better 

840
00:49:21,700 --> 00:49:23,500
than for us to cover in the 
culture section. 

841
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:26,800
So I got this tweet. 
I'm going to read it. 

842
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,900
And then I got a couple tweet 
threads, that I think will make 

843
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:32,300
my point for me, and then we can
talk about this. 

844
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:37,200
So we got Dennis Parker. 
He is quoting our, our clip that

845
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,700
we did of US Government shuts, 
down deeper actually, this is a 

846
00:49:39,708 --> 00:49:43,400
whole video and then we got a 
response by basil--oh Nico 

847
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,600
simply Bitcoin TV. 
Great podcast, enjoying it, it's

848
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,100
a bit odd by promoting Swan. 
Basically, you guys are 

849
00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:52,400
suggesting to buy kyc coins, but
at the same time, you want 

850
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,400
privacy, anonymity and fun. 
Ability using Bitcoin in terms 

851
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,500
of fungibility kyc is the enemy 
a bit controversial in general. 

852
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:05,600
And while yes I can see what 
people are saying. 

853
00:50:05,900 --> 00:50:09,200
But if you guys ever heard me in
the space and I'll speak for 

854
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,300
myself and he Co you can add on 
your two sets afterwards. 

855
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,400
I tell people very straight up. 
Look, buy Bitcoin, however you 

856
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,400
want. 
I am not here to tell you guys 

857
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,000
what to do with your money and 
with your decisions. 

858
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:26,000
But if you are going to use an 
exchange, We love Swan. 

859
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,600
They are friends, they are 
bitcoiners, there are Bitcoin 

860
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,100
only company. 
And yes, I know, we can get into

861
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:37,500
the weeds and the Nuance later, 
but I fundamentally believe that

862
00:50:37,500 --> 00:50:41,600
you just need to buy Bitcoin. 
Whatever is is, you know the 

863
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,200
most accommodating to your life.
I can't tell you what's the best

864
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,400
way to buy your Bitcoin? 
But I am definitely a fan of non

865
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,000
kyc Bitcoin. 
If you can do that with your 

866
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,700
money, then by all means, by non
kyc. 

867
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,500
But furthermore, in my opinion 
and this idea was sparked 

868
00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:04,000
yesterday and I'm glad that I 
had someone with a lot more 

869
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,400
experience in in things than 
myself yesterday. 

870
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:11,900
And I'm referencing the 
interview that Nico did with 

871
00:51:11,900 --> 00:51:14,600
Lawrence. 
And Stephen Lawrence made a 

872
00:51:14,608 --> 00:51:17,800
point yesterday and I'm glad 
that he made it because I've 

873
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,500
been thinking this and I just 
thought, like, oh, I'm just 

874
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:24,100
naive Opti, you know, I'm always
thinking for the best and I'm 

875
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:26,900
hopeful for the future, and he 
made a point. 

876
00:51:26,900 --> 00:51:29,400
And I've been, I've been going 
back and forth in this, and I 

877
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,300
kind of just felt like, oh, this
is just a dumb take by Opti, but

878
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:35,600
he said, what I've been thinking
for a while is that the Legacy 

879
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:40,500
system as is doesn't even have 
the resources to, to track and 

880
00:51:40,500 --> 00:51:46,000
bag everyone in the system that 
control, let alone one that is 

881
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,700
completely outside of their 
provision in their control, 

882
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:52,000
which is Bitcoin. 
And furthermore, even if I 

883
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,100
double down on that, which we 
all know, That the IRS just 

884
00:51:56,100 --> 00:52:00,700
bought 80s are just hired 87,000
agents to essentially track and 

885
00:52:00,700 --> 00:52:03,100
bag you and make sure that 
you're paying your taxes. 

886
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:11,000
In my opinion, the whole idea of
self custody makes this all in a

887
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,500
relevant Point. 
Once we have everyone on 

888
00:52:14,500 --> 00:52:16,900
bitcoin, Iran, lay or twos or 
whatever. 

889
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:20,300
What have you in the future? 
I don't think that this even 

890
00:52:20,300 --> 00:52:22,500
will matter. 
This is just part of the 

891
00:52:22,500 --> 00:52:24,400
transition as we always say, 
yes. 

892
00:52:24,700 --> 00:52:29,300
Bitcoin is inevitable. 
Bitcoin will win but The 

893
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,800
transition is the part that we 
are worried about and while you 

894
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:37,900
may think that I'm not being 
consistent in my messaging guys 

895
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:40,900
just get Bitcoin as much as you 
can. 

896
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:44,800
However you can and then spread 
that signal to everyone you 

897
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,900
know, so that they can do the 
same thing. 

898
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:52,000
And of course you need to take 
this Bitcoin into self custody 

899
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,500
because self custody is the 
revolution. 

900
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,100
Once you have the Bitcoin in 
your private Keys as far as I'm 

901
00:52:59,100 --> 00:53:01,600
concerned. 
It really doesn't matter what is

902
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,100
going on in the state tracking 
of it. 

903
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:09,500
It's like guys if you are a bit 
corner I am almost positive. 

904
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:12,800
You are on some list somewhere 
for the your radical thoughts. 

905
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,500
Like I am not concerned about 
being on a list. 

906
00:53:15,500 --> 00:53:18,800
You guys see my face. 
Now like I'm probably been on a 

907
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,200
list since I was 13 years old, 
it doesn't concern me. 

908
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,100
Like, I've been on rabbit holes 
Forever on the wrong websites. 

909
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:29,100
I am a proud wrong thinker. 
Her. 

910
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,400
So I know the concern, tisk 
tisk. 

911
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:33,000
Yeah. 
Exactly. 

912
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,400
I know that in this urn of it's 
a lot better to buy your Bitcoin

913
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,000
on kyc so that you aren't on 
these lists. 

914
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,700
Yes, I agree with this. 
But furthermore, not everyone is

915
00:53:43,700 --> 00:53:50,100
as Savage and as you know, as 
much of a Bitcoin or as you 

916
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:53,300
enter, I know, I know this 
camera, I'm sorry Nica, my 

917
00:53:53,300 --> 00:53:58,800
camera isn't on on fleek today, 
but anyways, I am full. 

918
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,400
Convinced and and yesterday, 
Lawrence kind of echoed. 

919
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,700
What I what I was saying, and 
I'm glad he did, because he's 

920
00:54:06,700 --> 00:54:08,900
way older than me. 
He has a lot more experience in 

921
00:54:08,900 --> 00:54:12,500
this and furthermore he he 
seemed to be a proud truther 

922
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:15,600
which I am shouts out the 
producer Jacob. 

923
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,500
I will get a tinfoil hat in here
for you guys because I think 

924
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:21,100
that's hilarious. 
But guys, I fundamentally 

925
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:25,300
believe that it is certain a 
certain Tipping Point all this 

926
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:28,600
is moot because they can't 
control the system that we have 

927
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,000
now. 
Now, they do not have the 

928
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,600
resources to, to come to 
everyone's house and and bring 

929
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,100
us all to jail. 
It's just physically and 

930
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:42,000
financially impossible. 
So, yes, if you can get your 

931
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,700
Bitcoin on kyc, I encourage it. 
But if you're like most people 

932
00:54:46,700 --> 00:54:50,700
and you're trading your security
for convenient guys, we love 

933
00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:52,600
Swan. 
We think they're, they're cool 

934
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,200
people. 
They're awesome chefs out to 

935
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:55,700
Cory. 
He's been slaying people on 

936
00:54:55,700 --> 00:55:00,200
Twitter but furthermore, I saw 
this strange Yesterday, and I 

937
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,200
thought it fit in perfectly with
what we are talking about and 

938
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,500
this is by I only Apple Berg and
he goes most people hot okay? 

939
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:10,200
Y c coins, clearly a possible 
future attack. 

940
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,500
Vector, for the state, 100% 
agree. 

941
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,700
But this is where we are guys. 
I'm not in some fantasy land of,

942
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:21,900
you know, theoretical as I meet 
people, where they are and a lot

943
00:55:21,900 --> 00:55:26,400
of people initially down their 
Journey aren't as Savage aren't 

944
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,200
as orange pill, darn aware of 
all these concerns And while 

945
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:33,200
yes, we'd love to get them down 
to two, you know, using Azteca 

946
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,900
or ATMs or whatever. 
We like Swan, they're our 

947
00:55:37,900 --> 00:55:40,800
friends, and we think they're 
doing a great job. 

948
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,700
They are on the mission of 
spreading the sound money 

949
00:55:42,700 --> 00:55:45,400
gospel, but how do we get out of
this pickle? 

950
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:49,000
And I, of course, I'm going to 
show this message because he 

951
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,900
sums it up in a tweet. 
And this is by a tell. 

952
00:55:51,900 --> 00:55:54,900
I'm not gonna goes how will the 
state funds its attack if their 

953
00:55:54,900 --> 00:55:58,300
Fiat has become completely 
worthless who will work for 

954
00:55:58,300 --> 00:56:02,100
them, guys? 
You need to understand that the 

955
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:06,400
state is paid with fake, funny 
money paper, iou's And at a 

956
00:56:06,408 --> 00:56:10,800
certain extent, the person, the 
individual, the guy that just 

957
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:16,000
needs to work a job to get by 
will not take Fiat funny money 

958
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
for these services and this 
whole house of cards will 

959
00:56:19,008 --> 00:56:21,000
crumble. 
When will this happen? 

960
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:23,600
I have no clue. 
But I know that this is going to

961
00:56:23,608 --> 00:56:26,100
happen. 
This is inevitable and like look

962
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:28,900
you guys can call this a fail on
my part. 

963
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,800
What have you? 
I'm okay with that. 

964
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,900
But I've been saying forever. 
We are Sapphire Sapphire, excuse

965
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:36,500
me, sacrificial lamb. 
Alms. 

966
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,400
We are the Pioneers, we are the 
ones taking on the risk. 

967
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:42,600
And I fundamentally believe that
in the future Humanity will look

968
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,700
back at us and be like those 
crazy motherfuckers. 

969
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:49,800
I am so thankful for the risks 
that they took on because we are

970
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,400
just trying to get Bitcoin in 
the hands of anyone. 

971
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,800
Any way possible because we 
understand that the Fiat system 

972
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,100
is robbing you. 
It is stealing your life force 

973
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:01,200
and has been doing it for 
hundreds of years and will 

974
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,600
continue to do this unless you 
take back your money. 

975
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,000
The self the revolution is self 
custody. 

976
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,100
But furthermore, I really like 
this comment by Wicked smart 

977
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:11,300
Bitcoin. 
And he goes, how are we going to

978
00:57:11,300 --> 00:57:14,100
get out of this pickle? 
And his response is circular 

979
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:17,600
economy's mixing by default, the
use of lightning and fed immense

980
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,900
to office. 
Kate, transactions, even further

981
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:22,300
surveillance will get more and 
more difficult, option 

982
00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:27,100
continues, increasing and more 
privacy focused, tools are built

983
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:29,300
out. 
And I agree with this guy's. 

984
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,300
As these privacy, tools get 
built out. 

985
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:34,900
I think this is going to be a 
non concern. 

986
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:37,500
I always say it all the time. 
Time sometimes we get really 

987
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:40,400
focused on the trees and we need
to zoom out for the forest and 

988
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,800
while, yes, I understand that 
the state hates you and they are

989
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,300
the real enemy. 
And at times you know my cold 

990
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:53,100
storage may not be fully set up 
for a nation state level attack.

991
00:57:53,100 --> 00:57:59,000
But what is one of the protocols
of privacy hide in a big crowd. 

992
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000
So we are here to spread the 
sound money gospel to as many 

993
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,200
people possible so that we have 
an even bigger crowd of 

994
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,200
bitcoiners out. 
And even, I know Nico is gonna 

995
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,500
gonna, I know Nico is do the 
caveat of don't break the laws, 

996
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:16,300
but I got to put in some toxic 
Bitcoin takes in here and we got

997
00:58:16,300 --> 00:58:18,600
Giacomo in here and he goes how 
you going to get out of this 

998
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,600
pickle and Giacomo, goes, mix 
and lie. 

999
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:26,900
Agreed and then GG goes mix and 
shut the fuck up and he does 

1000
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:30,800
this post of, I forget what it's
called is like shut the fuck up 

1001
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,900
Friday and it's these lawyers 
talking about the marijuana and 

1002
00:58:34,900 --> 00:58:37,200
if you should get caught in the 
Marijuana industry. 

1003
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,500
I put the link in the 
description. 

1004
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:43,000
So if you haven't seen this 
video, I highly recommend you 

1005
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,100
watch this video and you will 
get where we're coming from 

1006
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,200
anyways, to add to this. 
How are we going to get out of 

1007
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,700
this? 
Pickle is creating your own 

1008
00:58:52,700 --> 00:58:56,000
circular economies and Estefan. 
Lovera put in a tweet normalized

1009
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,100
paying back your family and 
friends using Bitcoin are 

1010
00:58:58,100 --> 00:59:00,100
lightning. 
That way they can pay a fee up 

1011
00:59:00,100 --> 00:59:03,000
but you pay them with SATs into 
easy while it's like Moon 

1012
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,500
Phoenix or Breeze and this is 
also what I like To Advocate is 

1013
00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:11,600
guys. 
Use Bitcoin peer-to-peer spread 

1014
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,100
Bitcoin to your friends and 
families any way possible. 

1015
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:18,100
I know you guys don't like to 
spend your Bitcoin but you guys 

1016
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:21,600
need to make sure that people 
are getting Bitcoin that want to

1017
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,500
use Bitcoin that want to save 
Bitcoin. 

1018
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:26,000
And I say it all the time. 
The best way to orange pill, 

1019
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,800
people is for them to use it, to
hold it to understand that there

1020
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,100
is no middleman that that they 
are free that they have personal

1021
00:59:34,100 --> 00:59:37,400
responsibility in their money. 
And again guys you can call me 

1022
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,000
naive but I also have other 
people. 

1023
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,700
Echoing these ideas that look at
Dave should duel. 

1024
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:48,200
Oh excuse me he goes they don't 
have the manpower to go door 

1025
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,000
knocking. 
It's a non-issue, I completely 

1026
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,300
agree and furthermore Magoo ha 
don't we go self? 

1027
00:59:54,300 --> 00:59:57,300
Custody is so much more value 
than you could ever imagine. 

1028
00:59:57,500 --> 01:00:01,300
And this is the message that we 
tell you guys self custody is 

1029
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:04,400
the Revolution and my boy, based
money profit. 

1030
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,600
The money tank quoted. 
Instead the revolution is self 

1031
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:12,100
custody guys I fundamentally 
believe that at a certain point 

1032
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:15,500
of certain Tipping Point, this 
all is going to be moot. 

1033
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:20,000
Anyways, buy Bitcoin, however 
you want spread the sound money 

1034
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:25,300
gospel, any way possible, do 
your best to give people the the

1035
01:00:25,300 --> 01:00:29,000
best upfront advice, but you got
to meet people where they are. 

1036
01:00:30,500 --> 01:00:34,800
And a lot of people aren't ready
to take these steps up front and

1037
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,000
that's okay we just need Bitcoin
in the hands of people. 

1038
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,000
We need people taking self 
custody and guys hit me in the 

1039
01:00:42,008 --> 01:00:44,900
comment, hit me on Twitter. 
If you think I'm being naive if 

1040
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:47,900
you think this should be mopped 
he's fail portion. 

1041
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,300
But anyways I see that we 
already running an hour in so 

1042
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:54,200
Nico. 
What's your comments? 

1043
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,900
And then we'll get into the meme
scores, dude. 

1044
01:00:56,900 --> 01:00:59,800
I don't know what it was. 
It was timing or something, but 

1045
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,700
I'm Rico. 
The power goes out. 

1046
01:01:01,700 --> 01:01:04,000
I literally the power dropped 
out on me. 

1047
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,200
And luckily I came back and Opti
with still, you know, still 

1048
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,800
doing his bit so and it was like
a second after opt. 

1049
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,300
He's camera failed once again. 
Yeah. 

1050
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,900
So the fun of doing this live 
anyways. 

1051
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,300
Are you coming to us via ham 
radio now or yeah? 

1052
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:24,000
Right. 
Do you imagine the the signal? 

1053
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,600
Okay, so yeah, so let's talk a 
little bit about this is a great

1054
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:34,400
topic by the way Opti, right? 
Look the reality is that the kyc

1055
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,400
exchanges have the most amount 
of liquidity. 

1056
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,800
They also have the best prices, 
the price. 

1057
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,000
You pay is that you yourself, 
and you probably put yourself on

1058
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,700
a list that they're definitely 
making now that they hired 

1059
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:50,100
87,000 agents. 
Now, what about kyc free? 

1060
01:01:50,100 --> 01:01:51,600
That's how most of the world 
works. 

1061
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,400
Most of the world does that 
because they don't have the 

1062
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,300
rails that we have in the 
western world. 

1063
01:01:58,300 --> 01:02:04,600
So bisque is a good solution, 
localbitcoins was kyc, free at 

1064
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,100
one point, but of course they 
were big enough they eventually 

1065
01:02:07,100 --> 01:02:09,600
got captured. 
So again unless it's fully 

1066
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:11,500
decentralized, it will get 
captured. 

1067
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:14,200
Its inevitability. 
The people that use the 

1068
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,000
loopholes to circumvent it. 
If it's a company, it will get 

1069
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,900
captured, there will be 
pressure, that US government is 

1070
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:24,000
Relentless Swiss banking in the 
80s. 

1071
01:02:24,100 --> 01:02:27,100
It was so secure that. 
All they would just give you a 

1072
01:02:27,108 --> 01:02:28,100
number. 
There is No. 

1073
01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:30,600
Name associated to that account,
right? 

1074
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:35,100
It was a private number over 
time, the regulatory Onslaught 

1075
01:02:35,100 --> 01:02:38,100
that eventually broke and now 
Switzerland. 

1076
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,400
It's getting to the point that 
they don't even want American 

1077
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,200
citizens, opening bank accounts 
there because they don't even 

1078
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,100
feel like dealing with the 
regulations. 

1079
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,800
It's got in like that. 
So yeah, don't underestimate the

1080
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:53,800
government. 
They will get it eventually, but

1081
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,200
kyc, free Solutions are still an
honor. 

1082
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,700
If you're just doing peer to 
peer, Here, if you're doing 

1083
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:00,700
peer-to-peer, you know, someone 
that has Bitcoin you want to 

1084
01:03:00,708 --> 01:03:03,300
give them Fiat for. 
I don't know what reason, right?

1085
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,600
You could do it that way. 
Now, of course follow the laws 

1086
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,000
and regulations color within the
lines, but you get what I'm 

1087
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:16,100
saying? 
Just really feels like a if you 

1088
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:18,200
can't beat them. 
Join them situation. 

1089
01:03:18,700 --> 01:03:20,000
Another acid. 
Yeah. 

1090
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,500
Sorry another another aspect of 
this, the internet's going crazy

1091
01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:25,900
here. 
Another aspect of this, right? 

1092
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:28,900
Is, you could always mine 
Bitcoin, you mine Bitcoin. 

1093
01:03:28,900 --> 01:03:30,700
Or they're going to try to do 
this, but they're not going to 

1094
01:03:30,700 --> 01:03:37,700
be able to KY C. 
KY C freesat now is kyc freesat,

1095
01:03:37,700 --> 01:03:40,600
important. 
Absolutely, I think it's vital 

1096
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,700
that you have a kyc, free sat 
stack. 

1097
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,100
No one knows about that is 
completely separated from your 

1098
01:03:48,100 --> 01:03:52,300
KY, C. 
KY C SATs, right? 

1099
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,700
But you have to understand. 
Just because they have that 

1100
01:03:58,700 --> 01:04:02,800
Bitcoin doesn't mean they can 
get to that Bitcoin and that is 

1101
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:08,100
why we always emphasize self. 
Custody is how you win fine. 

1102
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:12,900
Let's say the state knows that 
you bought just throwing it out 

1103
01:04:12,900 --> 01:04:16,900
there one Bitcoin, right? 
They know you have it. 

1104
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:22,100
What if you sent that to it to a
multisig and which the C's are 

1105
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:25,400
geographically, separated 
multiple jurisdictions, they 

1106
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:30,500
might know you have it. 
How they going to do that? 

1107
01:04:30,500 --> 01:04:33,100
How they're going to get to that
Bitcoin, it's going to be very 

1108
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:35,600
hard for them to do. 
So they might be able to put 

1109
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,700
someone in a box, which is what 
the book, The sovereign 

1110
01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:42,400
individual predicts that as the 
welfare states start it. 

1111
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,100
They start having problems 
collecting more. 

1112
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:54,600
System lose me again, I might 
come in and out your back, your 

1113
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,100
best. 
So like the sovereign individual

1114
01:04:57,100 --> 01:05:00,100
predicts, right? 
Is that you might see abductions

1115
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:03,500
and people being held to Ransom.
So they pay, you know, the 

1116
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:06,400
government, they're there their 
tax revenue right. 

1117
01:05:06,500 --> 01:05:09,300
But at the end of the day, what 
you what is really important 

1118
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:11,100
privacy is important without a 
doubt. 

1119
01:05:11,100 --> 01:05:14,700
What is really important is 
taking your Bitcoin into self 

1120
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:19,300
custody and then curing that 
That that Bitcoin properly, 

1121
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:24,200
through proper seed management. 
I really recommend multisig, I 

1122
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,600
really recommend geographically 
separating your seeds, ideally 

1123
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,700
in different countries, because 
if they do that, then it becomes

1124
01:05:32,700 --> 01:05:36,500
very difficult for them to get 
your Bitcoin. 

1125
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,700
And at the end of the day, what 
Bitcoin does is it shifts? 

1126
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:43,500
The balance of power from the 
government, from the state, back

1127
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:46,100
to the individual. 
It gives the individual the 

1128
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:48,600
power to go. 
Go where they're treated best 

1129
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,300
but only if you have that self 
custody only if you have that 

1130
01:05:51,300 --> 01:05:54,900
Bitcoin under self custody, so 
yes, I agree. 

1131
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:59,700
I think the whole kyc system is 
incompatible with Bitcoin. 

1132
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,600
I don't think, I think that the 
Clash is going to be so hard. 

1133
01:06:03,700 --> 01:06:07,100
I think that it's inevitable 
that they say, oh, you can only 

1134
01:06:07,100 --> 01:06:11,900
run and ofac compliant us 
sanctioned node because if you 

1135
01:06:11,900 --> 01:06:15,500
don't do that, you're against us
sanctions, I think that this is 

1136
01:06:15,500 --> 01:06:21,000
where that's going. but if you 
have Bitcoin in self custody, 

1137
01:06:22,300 --> 01:06:25,500
You move the balance of power to
your favor and there's a mean 

1138
01:06:25,500 --> 01:06:29,400
that we always talk about which 
is I lost it in a boating 

1139
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,300
accident just because they see 
that your Bitcoin is in a 

1140
01:06:33,300 --> 01:06:36,400
certain address. 
What if you send it to a coin 

1141
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,700
join what if you send it to 
another address and they're 

1142
01:06:39,700 --> 01:06:41,700
like, yo give me that. 
I'm like I don't have the keys 

1143
01:06:41,700 --> 01:06:44,100
to that. 
The point is that they might be 

1144
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:48,400
able to do it to a handful of 
people, but if you have millions

1145
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:54,000
upon millions of people holding 
their Bitcoin itself, D, we win 

1146
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,400
this, no matter what they try to
do. 

1147
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:01,000
Because their laws of the old 
system are only enforceable in 

1148
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,600
the old system in Bitcoin, they 
start to become unenforceable 

1149
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,900
and I'm going to give an example
and then we'll pass it on to 

1150
01:07:07,900 --> 01:07:09,500
Alex then we'll get to the meme 
review. 

1151
01:07:09,700 --> 01:07:14,900
Look, do you know the existing 
money transmitting laws right? 

1152
01:07:14,900 --> 01:07:18,000
When you go to a foreign 
airport, right? 

1153
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,800
You pass through security, they 
tell you the first thing they 

1154
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,000
tell you, you have 10,000 
dollars in cash. 

1155
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:25,800
Do you have the equivalent of 
ten thousand dollars in a gold 

1156
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,700
bar and diamonds? 
Do you have it on you, right? 

1157
01:07:28,700 --> 01:07:30,800
That's the one of the first 
things that they ask you. 

1158
01:07:32,500 --> 01:07:36,500
You could memorize 12 words in 
your head how they going to get 

1159
01:07:36,500 --> 01:07:41,600
that effectively? 
How or let's say fine, they take

1160
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,100
your Hardware wallet. 
Okay? 

1161
01:07:46,700 --> 01:07:47,700
What are they going to do with 
it? 

1162
01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:49,500
If it's a multisig. 
What are they going to do with 

1163
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:51,000
it? 
It's a useless piece of 

1164
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,500
hardware. 
And then not to mention all the 

1165
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:56,700
muscles again, thought 
experiment, actually, all the 

1166
01:07:56,700 --> 01:08:00,700
money that they have to spend 
trying to enforce these laws 

1167
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:03,700
that aren't effective at 
stopping the thing that they're 

1168
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:07,600
trying to stop. 
That's where this is going, 

1169
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,800
right? 
So yes I get it. 

1170
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:13,100
Kyc sucks. 
I understand your point. 

1171
01:08:13,100 --> 01:08:16,899
It's incompatible with Bitcoin. 
It's going to be such a hardcore

1172
01:08:16,899 --> 01:08:20,100
Clash. 
I'm all for it, but do you want 

1173
01:08:20,100 --> 01:08:23,899
to Stack? 
Try stacking more than five 

1174
01:08:23,899 --> 01:08:29,100
thousand dollars USD your the 
equivalent of 5000 USD on 

1175
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:31,399
bisque. 
Try doing that day after day, 

1176
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:35,300
you're going to pay a premium 
five to nine percent and pay 

1177
01:08:35,300 --> 01:08:38,800
five to nine percent premium. 
And then not to mention is the 

1178
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,600
liquidity there and not to 
mention, you actually have to do

1179
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,200
a physical transaction because 
the way that business works 

1180
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,899
right now is you're depositing 
money into a bank account and 

1181
01:08:48,899 --> 01:08:51,700
how long until that loop hole 
gets closed with the, with the 

1182
01:08:51,899 --> 01:08:56,899
You 85,000 87,000 IRS agents. 
The point that I'm trying to 

1183
01:08:56,899 --> 01:08:59,600
make right? 
Is that the best protection that

1184
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,300
you have is taking self custody 
of your Bitcoin? 

1185
01:09:02,300 --> 01:09:06,899
That is number one privacy, very
important not trying to take 

1186
01:09:06,899 --> 01:09:10,500
away from it, run your own no 
time for that earn Bitcoin 

1187
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:13,899
earning Bitcoin is the best 
thing that you could do because 

1188
01:09:13,899 --> 01:09:16,800
that throws them off even more. 
It's like, oh, that Bitcoin was 

1189
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,300
supposed to be meant for that 
person. 

1190
01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:22,600
But now it's there. 
It's like, this is Unenforceable

1191
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,899
as what I'm trying to say. 
So yes kyc am L. 

1192
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,200
It's an enemy of Bitcoin that 
Clash is going to happen or 

1193
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,800
pushing for it. 
The right people are on it, very

1194
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,399
smart. 
People are doing the research. 

1195
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:40,399
We've had entire episodes 
dedicated to revealing the scam 

1196
01:09:40,500 --> 01:09:44,500
that is kyc and am L. 
We got a kyc and am L expert on 

1197
01:09:44,500 --> 01:09:48,100
the episode to debunk how 
useless that system is. 

1198
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:54,500
But you have to fight the battle
with the tools at hand and this 

1199
01:09:54,500 --> 01:09:56,400
is where we are this moment in 
time. 

1200
01:09:56,700 --> 01:09:58,800
And of course I know a lot of 
people are going to disagree 

1201
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,600
with me but I think I'm entitled
to my own opinion. 

1202
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:02,600
Anyways. 
Alex. 

1203
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,000
What are your thoughts brother? 
You sure. 

1204
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,400
Well, I've wrapped up a few 
thoughts while I'm listening to 

1205
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:13,000
you this is why on Twitter, I 
say pretty often like a broken 

1206
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,900
record that no matter how 
passionate we are about Bitcoin 

1207
01:10:16,900 --> 01:10:19,200
there. 
There is never an opt-out to 

1208
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:25,200
Politics as defined by any more 
than two people in a room. 

1209
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,100
You've got politics, right? 
So, You know, that's why I'm 

1210
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:33,100
wearing my little porcupine, my 
little libertarian pin on my 

1211
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:36,000
pal. 
It's because, you know, the 

1212
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:42,200
whole point of standing up and 
trying to fight for liberty and 

1213
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,600
for something that's more 
authentic Liberty. 

1214
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,100
Right? 
Is to put forth, really good 

1215
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:53,100
ideas about how to manage the 
kind of, you know, necessary 

1216
01:10:53,100 --> 01:10:58,000
evil of whatever state is left 
over after, after we, you know, 

1217
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:06,700
Mantle, a lot of the BS, a lot 
of the bureaucracy, the whole 

1218
01:11:06,900 --> 01:11:10,200
rant that you were just on made 
me think, you know, it's a, you 

1219
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,300
can't beat them. 
Join them situation where the 

1220
01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:14,500
government needs to really be 
thinking about. 

1221
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,100
Now, wait a second, what are 
some like they did Del Salvador 

1222
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,900
Central African Republic. 
Like what are some of the ways 

1223
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:25,500
we could actually benefit from 
maybe not? 

1224
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:30,400
Being idiotic and totalitarian 
and, you know, sacrificing our 

1225
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,700
core values. 
We just America's founding is 

1226
01:11:33,700 --> 01:11:36,400
all about really, the sovereign 
individual. 

1227
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:41,100
Like you said, I mean, we are 
rediscovering Our Roots by, you 

1228
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:44,900
know, discovering Bitcoin, we're
rediscovering our core values as

1229
01:11:44,900 --> 01:11:48,700
Americans really. 
And and realizing that there was

1230
01:11:48,700 --> 01:11:53,600
a big mistake that was made with
fiat currency that a lot of our 

1231
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,000
Founders warned against a 
Jefferson warned. 

1232
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,400
You know? 
So that's where. 

1233
01:11:58,400 --> 01:11:59,900
Now we can ask the question. 
Okay. 

1234
01:11:59,900 --> 01:12:03,300
Well, what is the US dollar 
then? 

1235
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Does it reflect our values? 
Could it again, someday reflect 

1236
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,400
our values? 
Could we Peg the US dollar Fiat 

1237
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,700
as it is to bitcoin? 
And to make to make the u.s. 

1238
01:12:16,700 --> 01:12:21,500
dollars semi sound again. 
I know I think that's got some 

1239
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:26,900
possibility to it but 
ultimately, you know, There's no

1240
01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:30,600
reason for them to spin their 
wheels and fight this thing and 

1241
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:32,900
the thought experiment that I 
had when you talk about Crossing

1242
01:12:32,900 --> 01:12:35,200
Borders and I live right on the 
Canadian border. 

1243
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:39,700
So declaring, yeah, if you've 
got something of high value on 

1244
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:42,100
you and your Crossing Borders, 
that's definitely a thing. 

1245
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,600
You can just bring, you know, 
big suitcases of cash or 

1246
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,900
something across borders and 
have that be cool or big gold 

1247
01:12:48,900 --> 01:12:52,000
bars, but let's take something 
very tiny. 

1248
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,900
Which essentially, you know, a 
seed phrases weightless and tell

1249
01:12:55,900 --> 01:12:59,100
me I'm going to long but, you 
know, let's say that there's 

1250
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:03,100
some sort of Rarity or some kind
of collectible premium or value 

1251
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:07,200
onto some very, very tiny 
diamond or, you know, piece of 

1252
01:13:07,500 --> 01:13:11,100
precious metal or something. 
And it's so small, like it's, 

1253
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:15,500
you know, basically weightless 
like a, you know, steel plate 

1254
01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:16,800
with your seed phrase or 
whatever. 

1255
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,200
It's very, very small, but the 
value is through the roof, 

1256
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,200
right? 
And so, if you're crossing a 

1257
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,500
border with something, just 
because it's got a huge value, 

1258
01:13:25,500 --> 01:13:33,800
but it's Basically weightless, 
you know the the the whole 

1259
01:13:34,100 --> 01:13:38,000
threat that that represents is 
completely imaginary, right? 

1260
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,600
You'd have to liquidate the 
thing for the currency. 

1261
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,000
It would be the local currency 
if you were liquidating it. 

1262
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,500
Anyway, so it's a completely 
imaginary threat to that 

1263
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:48,700
economy. 
It's not like you're Crossing 

1264
01:13:48,700 --> 01:13:52,000
with, I don't know, Apple, 
maggots and infecting their 

1265
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,500
local Orchards or something. 
You know, there's just nothing 

1266
01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:56,000
there that's going to be 
problematic. 

1267
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,600
If you're a dual Citizen and 
you're moving into that country,

1268
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,000
you liquidate it for their local
Fiat. 

1269
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:05,600
This thing of high value you're 
going to pay tax in theory on 

1270
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,700
the liquidation into their local
Fiat. 

1271
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:13,600
So I mean it's just obviously 
they want to prevent I guess 

1272
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:17,700
terrorist financing or the all 
this money laundering and all 

1273
01:14:17,700 --> 01:14:20,900
all this stuff they want to come
somehow I have on an 

1274
01:14:20,900 --> 01:14:23,600
international scale. 
This ability to track flows of 

1275
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:29,300
assets across Borders or 
Something but it gets into a 

1276
01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:34,800
zone of just Ridiculousness. 
So yeah they they can't fight at

1277
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,000
all and then there's a right way
to do it in a wrong way to do 

1278
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
it. 
Absolutely. 

1279
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:43,400
It just the existing regulations
become unenforceable on, you 

1280
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,000
know and then just kind of add 
into the mix Opti. 

1281
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,400
Let's skip the mean review today
because it's a good conversation

1282
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:54,400
will go straight to the software
release but The, the the laws of

1283
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,400
old just become unenforceable 
under a Bitcoin standard, right?

1284
01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:01,800
The, I think that when more and 
more people wake up to the fact 

1285
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,900
that, why am I earning and 
dollars? 

1286
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:08,300
Doesn't make sense. 
Why am I, why am I turning in a 

1287
01:15:08,300 --> 01:15:10,200
money that's constantly being 
devalue? 

1288
01:15:10,900 --> 01:15:13,900
Why is that the only thing they 
really have on us? 

1289
01:15:14,100 --> 01:15:18,200
And that's until Bitcoin starts 
to get into the very, very high 

1290
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:19,600
numbers. 
And then you'll start to see 

1291
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:24,100
less and less volatility is that
they could make the case at this

1292
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:27,600
moment in time, is that in the 
short term Fiat provides better 

1293
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:31,200
stability than Bitcoin and 
stability it. 

1294
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:34,400
When it comes to pricing things 
is pretty important, right? 

1295
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,300
Because if not Have to change 
the things all the time, Bitcoin

1296
01:15:37,300 --> 01:15:40,800
is pretty volatile but the thing
is if you start zooming out on a

1297
01:15:40,808 --> 01:15:45,200
23 year, timescale Fiat goes 
down Bitcoin goes up like that, 

1298
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,400
right? 
So I mean that's really the only

1299
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,200
thing they have left. 
That's the only thing they're 

1300
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,300
clinging onto and there is 
actually a Fed tweet. 

1301
01:15:53,300 --> 01:15:57,800
That was literally talking about
how Bitcoin was too volatile, 

1302
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,200
but if you even use their own 
metric and you zoom out, you 

1303
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,300
know, it even with their 
metrics, you can call bullshit 

1304
01:16:04,300 --> 01:16:05,500
with their tools. 
Tools, right? 

1305
01:16:05,500 --> 01:16:08,100
That the one where they were 
pricing eggs and SATs, yeah, 

1306
01:16:08,100 --> 01:16:11,800
exit SATs and then, dude, and 
then they got absolutely 

1307
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,400
wrecked, right? 
So, but ya gotta respect that 

1308
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,000
they didn't turn off the 
replies. 

1309
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,500
I mean, at least they, there's a
there. 

1310
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:22,900
So disconnected and like, look, 
let me literally let me pull it 

1311
01:16:22,900 --> 01:16:25,600
up, check this out. 
This is priced in Bitcoin, one 

1312
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,800
of my favorite, I love sets, I 
love that, right here's eggs. 

1313
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,400
And this is what I was talking 
about, right on a year basis. 

1314
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,400
Yeah, maybe you're right, it's 
too volatile, right? 

1315
01:16:34,700 --> 01:16:38,600
But I Your bases eggs are 27 
percent cheaper on a five-year 

1316
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,500
basis. 
Eggs are 74 percent cheaper. 

1317
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,400
This is with all the inflation. 
This is with all the money 

1318
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:49,800
Printing and this is still with 
Bitcoin, 70% down and eggs are 

1319
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,400
still 75 percent cheaper. 
And that's why Bitcoin is the 

1320
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,600
best savings technology. 
The world has ever seen. 

1321
01:16:54,900 --> 01:16:58,500
And the real irony of that is 
there are hardly any Bitcoin 

1322
01:16:58,500 --> 01:17:02,600
denominated zones in the world. 
So by their own definition of 

1323
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:06,800
price level inflation, deflation
So they cause the price of 

1324
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,100
Bitcoin to go down. 
Well, there are hardly any 

1325
01:17:09,100 --> 01:17:12,100
Geographic zones that did 
nominate goods and services in 

1326
01:17:12,108 --> 01:17:15,900
the real economy and SATs. 
So so they could say, oh well 

1327
01:17:15,900 --> 01:17:20,900
those areas now have inflation. 
Which area is there are hardly 

1328
01:17:20,900 --> 01:17:24,700
any right and this and even El 
Salvador is not really dumb and 

1329
01:17:24,700 --> 01:17:26,500
it's not really sad Stu 
nominated. 

1330
01:17:26,700 --> 01:17:29,500
El Salvador is, is a dual 
currency country. 

1331
01:17:29,500 --> 01:17:32,700
It's mostly dollar-denominated. 
Still, that's why they did it. 

1332
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:35,600
They did it because it was 
because their dollars got 

1333
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,200
stronger, you know, they didn't 
have their own, they didn't 

1334
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:42,000
control their monetary policy. 
So that's exactly why they chose

1335
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:47,000
something like Bitcoin. 
But anyways, Opti let's move on 

1336
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:53,900
to the South Ever news. 
Bitcoin software release, 

1337
01:17:53,900 --> 01:17:56,100
brought to you by Cipher safe, 
don't be that person. 

1338
01:17:56,100 --> 01:18:00,300
That stores their Bitcoin seed 
on paper paper is prone to water

1339
01:18:00,300 --> 01:18:04,800
damage, fire damage, dog attacks
everything your seat could be 

1340
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,700
eaten by dogs or cats or 
animals. 

1341
01:18:07,700 --> 01:18:10,500
If you store it on paper, you 
definitely want to store your 

1342
01:18:10,500 --> 01:18:13,400
seed on steel and there's no 
better place to do it. 

1343
01:18:13,500 --> 01:18:17,400
Then the cipher safe, get 
yourself a Cipher wheel or 

1344
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,400
Cipher grid today. 
Visit Cipher safe, dot IO. 

1345
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,300
All right guys. 
Well I'm just as disappointed as

1346
01:18:25,300 --> 01:18:28,600
you are that we didn't get to 
the mean review but I will add 

1347
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:33,000
