1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,600
It's all going to zero against 
Bitcoin. 

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:17,360
It's going on forever. 
You're against Bitcoin. 

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,000
You're against freedom. 
Yeah. 

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,920
Welcome to another episode of 
Simply Bitcoin Live. 

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,560
You're your number one source 
for the peaceful Bitcoin 

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,640
revolution code, bringing you 
use culture, mining, warfare. 

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,880
We will be your guide through 
the separation of money and 

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,080
state. 
Brian Brooks, he was the 

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,120
Comptroller of the currency said
the quiet part out loud. 

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,400
He said that Bitcoin is going to
replace the banks right. 

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,080
And now I said that it kind of 
makes sense why Jamie Dimon 

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,800
reacted the way that he reacted,
right. 

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,120
And and if you think about it 
like, from, like a common sense 

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,440
perspective, like at the end of 
the day, you know, banks make 

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240
money off holding your money, 
but what's in it for you? 

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,720
What's in it for you is the 
convenience of it, right? 

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,680
It's not really convenient to 
hold like $1,000,000 under your 

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,200
bed, right, in cash. 
And then they charge you a fee 

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,400
for that, right? 
They charge you like if you have

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,600
any bank in the US, if you like 
under like 1500 bucks in your 

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,320
account, they charge you like a 
quote, UN quote, convenience 

22
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,880
fee. 
And it's like what? 

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,760
It's like $15.00. 
So like, it charges you. 

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
The banks are charging you for 
holding your money even though 

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,960
they're making money off of your
money, right? 

26
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,360
So it's kind of weird. 
It's kind of strange. 

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,800
And it used to not always be 
that way. 

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Like banks used to actually pay 
you like a decent interest. 

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,640
But obviously things have 
changed, obviously. 

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,400
So yeah, I I really think that 
that's the reason that Jamie 

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Dimon, why he's so against it, 
'cause I think he sees the 

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
writing on the wall. 
And OK, you could say that's 

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,720
just a bit bunch of Bitcoiners 
speculating and theorizing, But 

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,480
you have Brian Brooks. 
Brian Brooks was the former 

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,080
acting US Comptroller of the 
Currency and during the Trump 

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,840
administration, right. 
And he was a huge fan of 

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Bitcoin. 
And he's been saying that like, 

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,360
you know, quote, UN quote, 
cryptocurrency does not seek to 

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,160
replace currency. 
It's a bad name. 

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Cryptocurrency seeks to replace 
banking, right? 

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,600
So and it's interesting, 'cause,
you know, we know how Trump 

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,920
feels about CBD CS. 
Obviously he hasn't talked 

43
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,040
negatively about Bitcoin, but 
here's someone that was part of 

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,960
his administration that actually
looks at Bitcoin favorably and 

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,720
he was pretty up there, right? 
So anyways, a lot of stuff to 

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,400
talk about. 
We have a lot of stuff to get to

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,360
part of the show. 
I want to bring up my legendary 

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Co host. 
Always optimistic. 

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560
How you doing? 
Hey Nico, I'm I'm gonna let you 

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,680
continue, but you're way too low
energy. 

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Hey, what is going on? 
Miko needs some coffee. 

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,680
I was just saying that I was low
energy. 

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,360
I only had two cups of coffee 
this morning. 

54
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,680
But man, Nico, you got to really
bring bring the. 

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,920
Heat. 
I got to step it up. 

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Yeah, yeah. 
I think, I think we need some 

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,680
more five over there. 
We need like a maybe even at a 

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,680
four, maybe even at a four. 
But anyways, anyways, I I want 

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,640
to read this comment over here 
on Rumble because it's 

60
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,480
absolutely hilarious. 
Shouts out the UTXO, he goes, 

61
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Garth Brooks said. 
Bitcoin is going to replace 

62
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:18,400
banks. 
Brian, Brian Brooks I. 

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Don't think Miko even knows who 
Garth Brooks is. 

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,200
But that doesn't even. 
Know who? 

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Who is Garth? 
Who is Garth? 

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,240
He's a country country singer. 
OK Anyways, anyways. 

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,440
Anyways, our friend, our friend 
Josh Friedman, Did I say right? 

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Josh Friedman did. 
I say. 

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Right. 
You got it right. 

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Yep. 
This guy's last name, this guy's

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,440
last name is literally freedom 
man. 

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Like couldn't make up he's he's 
in the right industry Anyways 

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Josh everyone knows culture. 
We feature our our guests. 

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
So Josh you work with slice and 
and this is the first time I've 

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,360
heard of it. 
So let's give the audience a 

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,320
little TATLDR and then and then 
we'll go into the the nitty 

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,400
gritty during the culture. 
For sure. 

78
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,840
So Slice, basically the what I 
do is I ask people, would you 

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,720
rather make money online or not 
when you're browsing. 

80
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,280
What Slice does is we basically 
will show you ads and instead of

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200
you know, taking all of your 
your data, not giving you 

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,000
anything, what we do is we split
ad revenue with users. 

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,079
So if you see an ad, we make 
some money and we're going to 

84
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,079
give you half that money. 
So over time, obviously you're 

85
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,560
starting to make a little bit of
money. 

86
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,760
When you're browsing, you can 
cash that out for dollars, go to

87
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,040
PayPal, take a 4%, you know, cut
from it and take it, take it in 

88
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,000
USD or you can get it in 
Bitcoin. 

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,840
So most of our users prefer 
Sats, and I think this is an 

90
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,920
amazing tool to help the next, 
you know, however many millions 

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,560
of people, as we gain users 
begin to see that Bitcoin is 

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680
better because not all these 
people who use Slice are 

93
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,120
necessarily bitcoiners, but they
they're thinking, hey, if I can 

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,240
get some Bitcoin, might as well.
So Slice, I'm excited to be a 

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,840
part of the team. 
I've been part of the team for 

96
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,040
like 6 or seven months, or six 
or seven weeks, but I've been 

97
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,720
the Slice user for about eight 
or nine months. 

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,560
OK, awesome. 
Awesome. 

99
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,400
All right, well, we'll we'll 
break it down during the 

100
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,320
culture. 
But sounds sounds super cool, 

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,240
man. 
Really excited for this one. 

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,760
Yeah, it's it's kind of like a 
new kind of model, right? 

103
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,880
Because like, I'm sure we'll 
talk about this during the 

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,280
culture, but it used to not 
always work like that, right? 

105
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,600
Like. 
Plus value for value, right. 

106
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,080
So like it's one of those things
where we're, we're sharing value

107
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,840
with the consumer. 
So it's kind of flipping value 

108
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,400
for value a little bit on its 
head because I'm also a creator.

109
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,080
I love Fountain because people 
can send me some Sats, but we 

110
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,080
also have never they had a great
way to give the consumer Sats as

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,720
well, and that's what Slice is 
helping to do. 

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,600
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool, 
man. 

113
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,120
Well, I'm excited to talk about 
that. 

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,720
Sounds really, really 
interesting project. 

115
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Everyone's talking about my 
energy, so I'm going to step it 

116
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,840
up. 
Yeah, dude, you need it. 

117
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,480
What? 
What is the Bitcoin Live? 

118
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,720
Nika's already on the weekend, 
bro. 

119
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,120
He's already on the weekend I. 
Gotta take it from the top. 

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,200
I gotta take it from the top. 
Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, 

121
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
it's going to be a great show. 
Let's get into it. 

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,240
We got the numbers first. 
Let's check it out. 

123
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,280
Here we go. 
The Bitcoin numbers. 

124
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Is your Bitcoin in cold storage 
really secure? 

125
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Is your seed phrase really 
secure? 

126
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Stamp seeds? 
Do it yourself. 

127
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Kit has everything you need to 
hammer your seed words into 

128
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,880
commercial grade titanium plates
instead of just writing them on 

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,720
paper. 
Don't store your generational 

130
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,960
wealth on paper. 
Papers prone to water damage, 

131
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
fire damage. 
You want to put your 

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,040
generational wealth on one of 
the strongest metals on planet 

133
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,880
earth, Titanium. 
Your words are actually stamped 

134
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,440
into this metal plate with this 
hammer and these letter stamps. 

135
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,000
And once your words are in, they
aren't going anywhere. 

136
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,720
No risk of the plate breaking 
apart and pieces falling 

137
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,160
everywhere. 
Titanium stamp seeds will 

138
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,120
survive nearly triple the heat 
produced by a house fire. 

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,280
They're also crush proof, 
waterproof, non corrosive, and 

140
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,520
time proof. 
All things that paper is not 

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760
allowing you to huddle your 
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for 

142
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,200
the long haul. 
Stamp your seed on stamp Seed. 

143
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880

152

why they fell asleep because 
they didn't. 

153

scheme of things, Bitcoin is 

160
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440
just getting started. 
Anyways, this is a video that I 

161
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,080
have for you guys, but first I 
want to explain who Brian Brooks

162
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Brian P Brooks is. 
So he's an American lawyer, 

163
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,880
banker, and entrepreneur. 
He served as Acting Comptroller 

164
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,720
of the Currency, succeeding the 
31st Controller of the Currency,

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,440
Joseph Otting, and he was 
nominated twice by the previous 

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,680
president. 
He also worked at Bitcoin and 

167
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,600
crypto companies he worked at. 
He was the chief legal advisor 

168
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,039
at Coinbase from 2018 to 2020 
and Bitfury from from October 

169
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:49,120
2021 to 2022. 
So I mean Bitfury from my 

170
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,520
recollection, I think it's one 
of, it's a very big mining 

171
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,760
company. 
So I mean, yeah, like it's 

172
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,360
interesting to have someone like
within the halls of government 

173
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,320
in the administrative state that
is so bullish on Bitcoin, right?

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,920
And then he said this in regards
to what Bitcoin is actually 

175
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,520
going to replace. 
So specifically to use his 

176
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,920
words, what cryptocurrency is 
going to replace. 

177
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,400
So I'm going to play this and 
then we'll talk about it. 

178
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Cryptocurrency does not seek to 
replace currency. 

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,520
It's a bad name. 
Cryptocurrency seeks to replace 

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,520
banking. 
The core things that banks have 

181
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,280
done since the 1300s, those are 
going to go away 100%. 

182
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,360
And and let's just be clear what
I mean by that, the reason that 

183
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,200
we even have banks, banks 
originated in Italy around the 

184
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160
year like 1340. 
All right. 

185
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,000
And the reason they originated 
was because of a set of 

186
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
accounting advances that allowed
banks to serve as trusted 

187
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320
intermediaries between parties 
that owed each other money. 

188
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Before that, literally I would 
write you a note and I would 

189
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,240
promise to pay you money and 
you'd put the note in your 

190
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,520
pocket and you'd see if anybody 
else would take the note. 

191
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,160
You know, that's that's why we 
prefer to discounting notes. 

192
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080
And then banks arose and it was 
like, you no longer need to do 

193
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,240
that. 
We'll take care of it for you, 

194
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,080
but you're going to have to pay 
us to do that. 

195
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,120
That function of needing a 
trusted intermediary to maintain

196
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,120
ledgers of account to figure out
do IO Brooks money or does 

197
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,000
Brooks owe me money. 
It turns out that function no 

198
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,440
longer has to be done by human 
beings, the same way we don't 

199
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,840
need postal clerks anymore. 
I can send you an e-mail for 

200
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,600
free and it's instant. 
And that's just the end of the 

201
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
post office. 
Sorry, but it just is. 

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,120
That function will go away. 
The the what's going to be left 

203
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,440
for banks is the high value add 
services. 

204
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,600
You know, structured finance, 
investment advisory, you know 

205
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,600
all of the things that make a 
dynamic economy function. 

206
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,960
We we still need people to do 
that. 

207
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
There's a lot of creativity 
going on in finance. 

208
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,400
But the core of banking, the 
base of the pyramid, the thing 

209
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,680
that drives most of their 
revenue doesn't need to exist. 

210
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,720
And that's why I say, and I was 
saying to one of the organizers 

211
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,880
even before we set up on this 
panel, cryptocurrency does not 

212
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800
seek to replace currency. 
It's a bad name. 

213
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Cryptocurrency seeks to replace 
banking just if you take nothing

214
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800
from this panel but that. 
That's what you need to 

215
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,880
understand. 
I mean, and then, you know, he 

216
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,400
might know what he's talking 
about. 

217
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,560
Here's the title for the Office 
of the Control of the Currency. 

218
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,400
The Office of the Control of the
Currency charters, regulates and

219
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,080
supervises all national banks. 
It also supervises the federal 

220
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,920
branches and agencies of foreign
banks. 

221
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,800
So I mean, pretty big statement 
and now it. 

222
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Now it's so clear in my mind why
someone like Jamie Dimon, the 

223
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,640
CEO of one of the world's 
largest bank, if not the world's

224
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,520
largest bank, why he's so hell 
bent against Bitcoin. 

225
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,840
Like, it makes perfect sense now
because he kind of walked it 

226
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,160
back a little bit and he said 
like, Oh no, like there's still 

227
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,400
going to be opportunities for 
banks. 

228
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,240
And then he and then he like 
kind of doubled down. 

229
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,760
He's like, but the bulk of their
revenue is just going to 

230
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,680
disappear. 
So if I was like someone like 

231
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,440
Jamie Dimon, what's that saying,
Opti, that we always say like, 

232
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,680
you're not going to understand 
something that you're that 

233
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,320
you're like, you're like your 
life, your living depends on. 

234
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,680
So yeah, I mean, you know, if I 
was a container banker 

235
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,400
benefiting off the Fiat 
parasitic system, I would 

236
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,200
totally be against Bitcoin too. 
But I love Jack Mahler's the way

237
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,240
that he approached it. 
You know, he was dropping some 

238
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Epstein bombs in there and he 
was just basically saying, like,

239
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,920
I don't care what this person 
thinks. 

240
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480
So but fine, you might not care 
what this person thinks, but you

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,200
might not understand, you might 
not fully understand what his 

242
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,360
motivations and what his 
reasonings are. 

243
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,240
I think Brian Brooks explains it
perfectly here. 

244
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,400
And it's not just a Bitcoiner on
the Internet, right? 

245
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,240
This is someone who's in the top
echelons of government and he 

246
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,320
also worked in the private 
sector, you know very you know 

247
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,560
in in big companies as well in 
the industry. 

248
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,920
So this guy obviously knows what
he's talking about and I I think

249
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,040
he hit the nail on the head. 
And I mean, it's obvious. 

250
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,800
I mean we were talking about it 
like in the very part, very 

251
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800
first part, very beginning of 
the show. 

252
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,280
Whereas basically saying like 
self custody and the ability for

253
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,400
people to transact peer-to-peer,
it it just like it kind of makes

254
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,920
all of like, dude, like try 
sending a wire, Like sending a 

255
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
wire. 
You have to pay $30. 

256
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,920
You don't know why you're paying
that $30.00, but it's always 

257
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,640
this $30. 
Sometimes it's sometimes it 

258
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,640
arrives the same day, the next 
day, you know, it arrives 

259
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400
sometimes this happened to me 
where it gets lost and you're 

260
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,520
like, where is that? 
And then, you know, you call the

261
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,600
bank and you're like, Oh no, 
it's in compliance And you're 

262
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,720
like what? 
What's going on there? 

263
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,120
It's like compliance can't talk 
to you. 

264
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,320
So like, it's like some weird 
kind of opaque system and the 

265
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:41,000
moment you send Bitcoin on 
chain, it just clicks for you 

266
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,440
because it's instantaneous, it's
open, it's transparent. 

267
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,280
The other person can't say I 
can't, I didn't get the wire 

268
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,600
because you literally send them 
a link with the blockchain and 

269
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,400
like the transaction, the TX ID 
and all that stuff and it's 

270
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,800
like, it's there, bro. 
I sent it, right? 

271
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,400
So I mean, yeah, I fundamentally
agree with him. 

272
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,480
I think that it is going to 
replace banking. 

273
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,160
I think it's it makes their it 
destroys their business. 

274
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Like their business model kind 
of goes away, right? 

275
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,000
If people could take self 
custody, if people don't need to

276
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520
go through an institution to 
send a wire and people could 

277
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,040
just do it peer-to-peer. 
Yeah it makes it go away. 

278
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,080
So I agree with him. 
I agree with him and explains 

279
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320
why Jamie Dimon got so upset, 
got so butthurt. 

280
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Anyways, Opti, what's your take 
bro? 

281
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Yeah, well, I mean, look, Jamie 
Dimon. 

282
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,920
Wait, what did Sean say? 
Jamie Demon. 

283
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,160
He's not a dumb guy. 
I I am convinced now after 

284
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,040
everything we've been talking 
about, you know for a long time,

285
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
you can make the case that these
people just don't know what's 

286
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,200
going on with Bitcoin. 
And and you can still make the 

287
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160
case that they probably don't 
understand Bitcoin on a 

288
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,440
technical level, which most of 
us probably don't have. 

289
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,680
You know a technical 
understanding like Bitcoin core 

290
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,280
devs in general. 
But these people aren't dumb. 

291
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,920
They understand what is at 
stake. 

292
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,760
They understand what game's 
being played. 

293
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,200
And if you route around them, 
you know the the quote, build a 

294
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,000
parallel system that they cannot
control. 

295
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Of course they're going to come 
out against Bitcoin because, 

296
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,200
look, it's in the, it's in the 
first paragraph of the white 

297
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,120
paper. 
Like the financial system that 

298
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,800
we are using right now is based 
on a lot of trust and that is 

299
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,560
based on a lot of trusted third 
parties. 

300
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,400
Now Jamie Dimon is one of those 
trusted third parties. 

301
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Like, why? 
Why do we think that he's not 

302
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,280
going to come out against 
Bitcoin when it literally will 

303
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,000
eventually destroy his business 
model if he doesn't adopt 

304
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,320
Bitcoin? 
So of course they don't want 

305
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,600
competition and we know right 
now with what's going on in the 

306
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,160
world, there is competition on 
the dollar and they don't want 

307
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880
to compete on the market and 
that's just where we are right 

308
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,200
now. 
And you know, to that point of 

309
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Brian Brooks talking about in 
that clip, Bitcoin is just a 

310
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,920
global digital Ledger that isn't
controlled or manipulated by 

311
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,480
anyone like say that that will 
eliminate banks or maybe it is a

312
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,600
currency. 
Like, I think it's besides the 

313
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,200
point. 
It's like an uncontrollable 

314
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
digital Ledger. 
Of course the banks out there 

315
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,200
don't want you to use a Ledger 
that they can't control because 

316
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,040
that's how they're able to make 
the profits. 

317
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480
That's how their business model 
is run, is by basically 

318
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,680
manipulating text message and 
ledgers worldwide. 

319
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,680
So of course, the trusted third 
parties don't want you to join a

320
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,320
monetary system that they cannot
control. 

321
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:27,680
And so as much as people still 
think and fall for the authority

322
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,240
fallacies out there, you know, 
Jamie Dimon is a well respected 

323
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,920
person in the traditional 
financial world. 

324
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,840
It's no, it's finance. 
Finance. 

325
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Yeah, sorry, we're getting. 
We're fancy, bro. 

326
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,760
We're fancy now, of course. 
Of course he. 

327
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Say it Opti. 
Of course of course he's 

328
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,720
incentivized to continue to 
gaslight the population out 

329
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,080
there until of course you know 
they they get their bags packed 

330
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
and and let's not forget guys, 
Jamie Dimon is an authorized 

331
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
participant to the Black Rock 
Spot Bitcoin ETF. 

332
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,960
So don't listen to what they're 
saying watch what they do and 

333
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,839
I'm I'm convinced that these 
bankers out there they they got 

334
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,800
to have some Bitcoin. 
I I don't think that they are 

335
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,960
are as as dumb as we would like 
to make them out to be. 

336
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Like if they don't have Bitcoin 
directly they know what is going

337
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,599
on and they know why you want to
hold some Bitcoin. 

338
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,160
Maybe they're just totally 
entrenched in their business 

339
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,680
models and and someone in our 
Telegram chat Nico played that 

340
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,960
one Chrissy Lagarde clip that 
was like 2 years ago or whatever

341
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,520
about like the inflation and and
expanding the balance sheet like

342
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,320
it will come down and it's so 
funny. 

343
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800
In In Due time. 
In due time it'll come down and 

344
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,560
it's just so funny that that she
had to very directly be like 

345
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,560
there is no cryptocurrencies on 
the EC BS balance sheet and 

346
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,400
it's. 
Like she's kind of she was kind 

347
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,360
of snappy about it it. 
Kind of a little bit. 

348
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,000
It's 'cause you you got to know 
that they are getting asked 

349
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280
about this constantly. 
So every banker in the world, as

350
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,480
far as I'm concerned, at least 
these big bankers, obviously 

351
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,560
they're incentivized to not 
embrace Bitcoin because we know 

352
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280
the playbook guys, you FUD 
Bitcoin, you stack your bags and

353
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,160
then once you have your 
position, you start to endorse 

354
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,680
Bitcoin. 
And we are in the then the 

355
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Endorse Bitcoin part of the 
journey. 

356
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,680
So oh man, it's so awesome being
a Bitcoin. 

357
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Anyways, let's get Josh Josh's 
take on this. 

358
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Yeah, well, kudos to Brian P 
Brooks for saying the quiet part

359
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,440
out loud. 
It's not something that Jamie 

360
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,640
Dimon he needs to know. 
He already knows it. 

361
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,280
But I think a lot of people who 
are listening to Brian, they 

362
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,800
probably haven't ever thought 
about Bitcoin as something 

363
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,480
besides a currency because we 
use the term cryptocurrency. 

364
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,960
But replacing the banks is 
something that, you know, there 

365
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,480
are a lot of ways that could 
happen. 

366
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,240
I liked his example of letters 
versus e-mail. 

367
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,640
People still today like sending 
letters to their friends and 

368
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,000
their loved ones from time to 
time. 

369
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,800
It's, you know, romantic, 
idyllic, quaint. 

370
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,040
In the future, you know, Who 
knows? 

371
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,880
I I doubt it because last time I
went to the bank, I hated having

372
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,880
to go through the the hoops of 
sending a wire transfer. 

373
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:00,680
But, you know, maybe in the 
future people will want to send 

374
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,080
a wire transfer as a way to kind
of relive the old days. 

375
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,120
But I'm thankful for what 
Bitcoin is at least making 

376
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:11,160
possible for people now, and 
it's great to be seeing all 

377
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,200
these new services that are 
being provided to Bitcoiners 

378
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320
like on a consistent basis. 
And I think it's just ramping up

379
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,400
like 2024-2025. 
We're going to keep on seeing 

380
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,040
the businesses that have already
been going for a while continue 

381
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320
to grow and some really cool 
projects I'm sure are going to 

382
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,160
be just over the horizon. 
Couldn't agree more. 

383
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,720
Wait, wait. 
Before we go on Josh saying that

384
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,400
people will be using wire bank 
wires, like just just for 

385
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
nostalgic reasons. 
It's like us pulling up a 

386
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,880
landline. 
Like Oh my God dude, telephones 

387
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280
are connected to the wall. 
This is amazing. 

388
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Well, and so he people look back
like, you know, you there's 

389
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,360
stuff on social media every once
in a while people will be like, 

390
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,160
oh, this is a really cool thing 
they used to have. 

391
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,960
I think it's mainly a joke. 
At the same time, you can look 

392
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,400
back at the past and say, oh, 
that was really cool. 

393
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,680
Like, I wish we could go back 
and have some retro vibes. 

394
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,080
But at the same time, it's good 
to remember there's a reason we 

395
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,920
moved past old technology and 
moved on to new things, 

396
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,040
especially if it's what the 
market demanded. 

397
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560
You know, you could say central 
banking is not necessarily 

398
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,760
something that the market 
demanded. 

399
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560
We have it for now. 
But I think, I think that 

400
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,240
there's just going to be a lot 
of really cool stuff that's 

401
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960
built in the future. 
And people might go back to the 

402
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320
old ways just for fun, for a 
little little time, but they'll 

403
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,080
always go back to the newer and.
Better tech. 

404
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,880
It's like, yo, what are you 
doing this weekend? 

405
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240
I'm going to send a wire bro. 
OK. 

406
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,600
Last last time I was at the bank
to send a wire transfer, I asked

407
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,240
the guy if he ever thought about
using Bitcoin. 

408
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Whatever else, you know, like 
your thought about incorporating

409
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,280
Bitcoin into banking or like 
looking at it for collateral for

410
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,040
a loan. 
And the way that he looked at me

411
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,440
and responded to me, I knew he 
was just thinking this, this 

412
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,880
poor idiot. 
You know, he doesn't know what 

413
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,520
he's talking about. 
And in that moment I was like, 

414
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,400
either he's really wrong or I'm 
really wrong. 

415
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
But those two perspectives? 
Not necessarily the two people. 

416
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,480
But those two perspectives can't
coexist in the long term. 

417
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,360
Yeah, And and that's a really 
good observation and I'm glad 

418
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,920
that you brought that up, 'cause
I remember the first couple 

419
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,160
years in Bitcoin, I would bring 
it up to everyone, anyone that I

420
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
thought had some type of 
financial authority. 

421
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,320
So like friends of mine that 
worked in, you know, it's for 

422
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,600
for wealth management, banks and
all that stuff, you know, going 

423
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,360
to my local bank, right. 
And go in there and be like, 

424
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,720
what do you think of Bitcoin? 
And the the reactions are always

425
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,360
different, right? 
Some, some people are like, I 

426
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,280
love Bitcoin and then some 
people are like, no, I didn't 

427
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,360
say the government is going to 
ban it or something like. 

428
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,600
But Long story short, the TLDR 
is that in my you know, I I 

429
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,600
don't do this anymore. 
But in my six or five years of 

430
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,440
doing 5 to 6 years of doing 
this, I never ran into one 

431
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,280
person that gave me a good 
reason as to why Bitcoin was a 

432
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,640
bad idea or as to why this thing
wouldn't work. 

433
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520
It was always like like 
repeating the rhetoric that they

434
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:03,040
saw and heard on TV or just the 
like the same old BS kind of 

435
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,200
talking points. 
Or I could just tell that they 

436
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,920
don't understand what's 
happening, but it was never cuz 

437
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,800
they actually gave me a good 
reason. 

438
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,440
So that's just that's 
interesting. 

439
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,160
I mean, like, it's very simple. 
Like if you use Bitcoin and then

440
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,360
you go to a bank, you're like, 
wait, which one is easier to 

441
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:23,040
use? 
It's just like it's Bitcoin. 

442
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,880
It's very obvious that it's way 
easier once you actually 

443
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,080
experience it. 
Bitcoin is so much simpler than 

444
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,360
going to it. 
Like you don't even have to 

445
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,400
leave your house to move your 
money. 

446
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Like who doesn't want to not go 
to a bank and move your money 

447
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,360
around it. 
It's so much simpler. 

448
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:39,600
It's actually amazing that 
people think it's complicated. 

449
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,720
I'm not really convinced that 
like what we have to do, the 

450
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,040
hurdles we have to go through at
banks, like we don't even need 

451
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,800
those. 
But it's just they've been able 

452
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,160
to make it as difficult as they 
want and have as many standards 

453
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,000
as they want. 
I'll be interested to see if 

454
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,520
there's as Bitcoin becomes more 
competitive as as the the 

455
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,720
banking world sees Bitcoin as 
more of a competitor, if they 

456
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,080
begin to make things a little 
bit easier to try to compete 

457
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,160
with Bitcoin. 
You know, I think that we all 

458
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,480
know that any anyone or anything
that tries to go head to head 

459
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,080
with Bitcoin doesn't tend to win
out. 

460
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,480
But it'll be interesting to see 
if banks try to to improve the 

461
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,200
user experience over time as 
they get a little scared. 

462
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,840
Like a little more scared than 
they already are. 

463
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Well, Josh, don't, don't, don't 
forget they're trying to roll 

464
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,200
out the Fed now. 
So they they're already working 

465
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,360
on it. 
Yeah, that's a that's a a shade 

466
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,960
of a shade of Bitcoin. 
You're here for digital 

467
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,720
payments. 
Your digital payments need to be

468
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,120
better people. 
More efficient digital payments,

469
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,600
bro. 
This is not about Bitcoin. 

470
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,120

Check out the passport link in 
the show notes below to learn 

514
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,400
more. 
All right, ladies and gentlemen,

515
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,360
we are going to cover this 
topic. 

516
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,320
So yeah, let's talk about the 
space cat and let's talk about 

517
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,720
what's going on. 
So of course, we all know Craig 

518
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,200
Wright. 
He sued multiple people for 

519
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,000
essentially calling him fake 
Satoshi. 

520
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,920
And you know, Hodelnot and Peter
McCormack had to spend a lot of 

521
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,360
their own money, a lot. 
The Bitcoin community supported 

522
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,080
them. 
But it seems like, you know it, 

523
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,720
it seems like there is a, 
there's a, there's a final 

524
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,960
conclusion to this. 
So we're going to get to the 

525
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,560
space cat in a little bit. 
But Peter McCormack also sued by

526
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Craig Wright. 
And here's the thing about the 

527
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,600
UK and a lot of these 
jurisdictions is it does, It's 

528
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,480
not like the US, right? 
In the US, it's very difficult 

529
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,440
to sue someone else because of 
their speech. 

530
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,120
But the UK specifically is 
notorious for their libel law, 

531
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,840
to the point that the Obama 
administration actually had to 

532
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,760
pass a law to protect American 
citizens from that law, right. 

533
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,920
So Craig Wright used the UK 
system to go after anyone that 

534
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,080
said that he was fake Satoshi, 
one of them being Peter 

535
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,480
McCormack, one of them being the
space cat Hoddle. 

536
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,680
Not so. 
That whole saga lasted at least 

537
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,360
a couple. 
I mean, it was a very long, I 

538
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:18,920
mean, look, five years of hell 
specifically. 

539
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,600
And I remember when it started 
and shout out to Peter McCormack

540
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520
for holding it through, but it 
seems like it's all done now. 

541
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Seems like it's over. 
So this is what McCormack said. 

542
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,880
He says. 
My lawyers have just confirmed 

543
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,120
that Craig Wright has had his 
final appeal denied by the 

544
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,120
Supreme Court. 
It is over. 

545
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,720
I won. 
Welcome to law, Mother Effer. 

546
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,280
Permission to appeal was refused
by three Supreme Court justices.

547
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,360
Lord Briggs, Lady Rose, Lord 
Richards, on grounds the appeal 

548
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:48,960
did not raise an arguable 
question of law. 

549
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080
This is the end of the line for 
Wright's substantive claim 

550
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,200
against me. 
Five years of hell over a small 

551
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,320
amount of hell to deal with on 
cost. 

552
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,400
Still, but we did it. 
I have so many people to thank, 

553
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,840
my lawyers, my brother, hot or 
not, and all the people who 

554
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,040
reached out with support, the 
people who helped with some of 

555
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,760
the cost. 
You know who you are. 

556
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,080
And now we turn to our brothers,
Hot or not, Cobra, Bitcoin and 

557
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280
the businesses and developers 
still under attack. 

558
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,800
No mercy. 
Let's finish them. 

559
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,120
Absolutely, absolutely. 
Hit the nail on the head. 

560
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,880
And here is hot or not. 
And he said, and there is this. 

561
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,320
And there is the settlement 
offer. 

562
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,720
Curious timing that it would 
come just after the latest bunch

563
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,640
batch of evidence was 
dismantled. 

564
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,920
PS there is no way Copa will 
accept this. 

565
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,680
It's ridiculous. 
And yeah, Copa did not accept 

566
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,240
the quote UN quote settlement 
and their reasonings were 

567
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,600
actually pretty good. 
So let me pull that up in a 

568
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,480
second. 
This is quite entertaining to 

569
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,920
read. 
Wow. 

570
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,720
Nico's not only low energy, but 
he's unprepared for today's Show

571
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,920
I. 
Can't find it. 

572
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,640
I tell you what you can see the 
the passion from Peter coming 

573
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,040
through and that I saw that 
earlier today and I feel bad for

574
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,800
him. 
He's really gone through a lot 

575
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,160
and I guess I've seen more of 
his than huddle knots, but it's 

576
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,320
great that it's starting to come
to an, yeah, I mean, final 

577
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,240
close, right? 
It just took a very long time. 

578
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,680
But yeah, it's finally coming 
full circle, which I think is a 

579
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
good thing. 
Here's COPPA and it says hard 

580
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,720
pass on that quote settlement, 
just like Craig Wright forges 

581
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,800
documents and doesn't quite tell
the truth. 

582
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,800
His description of the 
settlement offer isn't quite 

583
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,360
accurate either. 
It comes with loopholes that 

584
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,840
would allow him to sue people 
all over again, right. 

585
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,600
So I mean, is this the 
conclusion, this is it over? 

586
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,720
I don't know. 
But you know, I, I, I, I, I 

587
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,720
don't know. 
I don't know what? 

588
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,240
I don't know. 
What I got to say, dude, about 

589
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,440
this whole saga, like when it 
was happening, I personally, I 

590
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,360
don't believe Craig Wright is 
Satoshi. 

591
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,680
All he had to do is just sign an
address that he quote, UN quote,

592
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,360
you know, that people know that 
belonged to Satoshi and he could

593
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,200
have signed it and proven that 
he had those keys. 

594
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,160
Therefore, there's a high 
probability that he was Satoshi 

595
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,320
and he and he didn't. 
He never did. 

596
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,800
He had the opportunity to. 
There was multiple judges in 

597
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,840
multiple jurisdictions, 2 in 
Europe and one in the United 

598
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840
States, that the three of them 
not simply Bitcoin but those 

599
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,560
judges called him a liar, 
essentially that he 

600
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,600
misrepresented the data. 
And then not to mention the fact

601
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,680
that how anti Bitcoin is that 
behavior where you're 

602
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,840
essentially trying to silence 
someone else's speech because 

603
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,680
they disagree with you and 
you're trying to tell me that is

604
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Satoshi Nakamoto, that is so 
anti Bitcoin. 

605
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,800
That is like the opposite of 
what Bitcoin represents. 

606
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,680
So it's multiple reasons why I 
don't believe he is Satoshi and 

607
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,400
and I think that he used, you 
know, his business partnerships 

608
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,160
and his relationships to kind of
try to bully certain 

609
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,960
influential, influential 
bitcoiners into silence, which 

610
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,320
is just total bullshit. 
I'm glad that it had a great 

611
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,200
resolution, but it took five 
years, you know, five years. 

612
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,280
It's a big percentage of your 
lifetime fighting this. 

613
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,280
So I think, you know, you know 
it 50 years from now, you won't 

614
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,720
regret that you did this. 
I think it's like, you know, 

615
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,640
it's part of part of Bitcoin's 
history and all that. 

616
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,800
But I'm sure that it wasn't 
uncomfortable. 

617
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,760
I'm sure that it was very 
uncomfortable to go through. 

618
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,440
And there was points where Peter
even said that this almost 

619
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,280
brought me on the verge of 
bankruptcy, right. 

620
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,680
You know, I had to spend a lot 
of money just to deal with this.

621
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,040
And you know, Peter has a pretty
successful podcast. 

622
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,800
He's in that position where you 
know, he might have that income 

623
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,200
to necessarily to pay those 
legal bills. 

624
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,400
But imagine if you didn't have 
that, like imagine if you didn't

625
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,480
have that wealth. 
Imagine if you didn't have that 

626
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,680
situation he could have silenced
you into, He could have, you 

627
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,800
know, like essentially forced 
you into silence, which I think 

628
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,880
is crazy, you know that that 
that mechanism is still exist in

629
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,760
today's world. 
Anyways, Opti, what's your take 

630
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,000
on this? 
Yeah, well to be honest, like I 

631
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,040
am kind of surprised that this 
has been dragged out for so long

632
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,480
and I'm, I'm glad that we can 
finally like close this chapter 

633
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,640
and put it behind us. 
As you know, quote UN quote 

634
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,280
community it. 
It is really amazing that Craig 

635
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,320
Wright has been able to run this
affinity scam for this long and 

636
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,960
and actually like dupe a lot of 
people into believing he is 

637
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,600
Satoshi and then the like BSV 
cult out there. 

638
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,520
It's absolutely amazing that 
people still believe that he's 

639
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,200
Satoshi after everything that's 
came out and like we can fill up

640
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,840
a whole show probably of just 
all of the things that prove he 

641
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,720
isn't. 
But you know people people 

642
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600
really do want a saviour. 
And personally what's this 

643
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,400
saying? 
I forget who said it first but 

644
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,960
like if you see Satoshi on the 
road, kill him as like the play 

645
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,000
on the Buddhist meme. 
I I just, I don't think it 

646
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,960
really matters and I don't 
understand why someone would 

647
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,560
want to come out as Satoshi. 
Like it's, you know, Satoshi 

648
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,520
left for a reason and it was 
when what Gavin went to speak 

649
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,880
about Bitcoin at the CIA, like 
you would not want to come out 

650
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,880
as Satoshi. 
And it really makes you wonder 

651
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,600
why his what his incentives are 
to do this. 

652
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,960
I mean, most people would just 
say he's like a narcissist, but 

653
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,640
to get? 
People to buy BSV. 

654
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Yeah, of course. 
You know, of course, like 

655
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Satoshi's vision, Bitcoin 
Satoshi's vision like. 

656
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,000
You know. 
It's in the name. 

657
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,960
Shouts out to the space Cat and 
Peter and and even Cobra 

658
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,560
everyone that had to deal with 
this because it really if this 

659
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,600
if this attack worked it would 
really set a a terrible 

660
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,280
precedent for the Bitcoin 
community in general. 

661
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,840
And like the fact that bit you 
know you we there's a lot of 

662
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,200
contention on bitcoin.org. 
But like the fact that they 

663
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,400
can't put the white paper on 
that website or you can't even 

664
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,800
put the white paper in the UK 
right now and host it on your 

665
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,640
website like it's absolutely 
crazy that we have gotten to 

666
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,600
this point. 
So hopefully we can finally 

667
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,120
close this chapter and this 
story and moving forward. 

668
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720
No one would ever make the 
mistake of trying to come out as

669
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,480
Satoshi. 
Just it just makes no like 

670
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,560
there's there's no no sense to 
this unless it is to affinity 

671
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,080
scam with your own shit coin. 
So hopefully this chapter can 

672
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,719
finally close, but we'll see 
what happens anyways. 

673
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,360
Josh what's up? 
Yeah, I don't have a whole lot 

674
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,280
to add here. 
It's like I'm pretty sure I saw 

675
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,560
something in the past about some
BSV Ers kind of distancing 

676
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,280
themselves from Craig Wright. 
If so, that's great. 

677
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,000
I just don't pay attention to 
it. 

678
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:29,120
I have paid attention to some of
the legal issues. 

679
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,360
One thing that I think I would I
would rather after all of this 

680
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,120
is like having to experience 
something in the United States 

681
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600
as opposed to the United Kingdom
or or other places. 

682
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,000
It seems like their legal system
is so different and probably a 

683
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,639
lot harder to defend yourself 
in. 

684
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:47,239
So yeah, I I don't have a whole 
lot of other things to add 

685
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,400
besides that, but it will be. 
I feel like people care less and

686
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,960
less about who's Satoshi 
Nakamoto is. 

687
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,199
Maybe. 
As more people. 

688
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,480
It doesn't matter. 
I'm wondering, I'm wondering if 

689
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,640
it changes as more people kind 
of come into Bitcoin 'cause I 

690
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,920
think anyone who comes in this, 
like they ask that question at 

691
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,840
first, right? 
I I think it like the more the 

692
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,440
the more Bitcoin gets bigger, 
the more I hope Satoshi never 

693
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,280
comes back because I think human
beings have a tendency to like 

694
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:20,480
put like the fact that Bitcoin's
beginnings are so mythological 

695
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,040
really play into the story of 
Bitcoin's creation. 

696
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,160
I think that once you put a 
human being behind it, I think 

697
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,960
it it kind of tarnishes the 
image a little bit. 

698
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,800
It it affects it right? 
It it puts a mortal behind what 

699
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,960
is happening, right? 
But I think that if you separate

700
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,720
the two and it's just this 
anonymous name, no one knows 

701
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:44,880
what the fuck he looks like, you
know, it's I guess it's 

702
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,760
Japanese, you know, no one can 
really fucking explain it. 

703
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,240
It like adds to the mystery of 
it. 

704
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:53,600
And I would say that's very, 
very unique to Bitcoin because 

705
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,840
every other shit coin, every 
other, all coin, the founder is 

706
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,600
still in the picture and you 
know who created it and they got

707
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,800
a pre, mine, etcetera, etcetera,
etcetera. 

708
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,960
Satoshi disappeared. 
And that was like, if not the 

709
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,200
most important thing he did, or 
the second most important thing 

710
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,880
he did behind creating Bitcoin 
itself. 

711
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,040
We're discovering Bitcoin 
depending on if you ask. 

712
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,200
If they don't have it out yet, 
you know History Channel's going

713
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,880
to come out with a banger at 
that point on Satoshi Nakamoto 

714
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,560
is, and it's going to be an 
alien. 

715
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,320
Well well to to Josh's point 
though Niko. 

716
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,600
To Josh's point though, like it 
is very interesting that new 

717
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,560
entrants that coming to Bitcoin,
like it's always that's like one

718
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,840
of their earliest questions like
who is Satoshi? 

719
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,160
And then when you tell them 
like, Oh, no one knows. 

720
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,840
It's it surprises me that people
get scared of like, oh wait, we 

721
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,120
don't know the creators. 
And we're like, no, like, that's

722
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,840
a good thing because you can't 
go to a certain person to shut 

723
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,080
down this whole thing. 
But it's very interesting when 

724
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:52,000
you get into just like a new 
Coiners and like mindset of 

725
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,680
getting into Bitcoin. 
They're like, wait, we don't 

726
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,120
know who created this. 
Maybe, maybe it's like the NSA 

727
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,080
or something. 
It's like they created the 

728
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,960
Internet, bro. 
Like you still use it and you 

729
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,760
don't care. 
Like, it doesn't matter who 

730
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,120
created Bitcoin. 
And I think like I said, 

731
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,920
hopefully moving forward we can 
continue to just like beat that 

732
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,120
in people's heads metaphorically
that like it doesn't matter 

733
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,960
matter who created Bitcoin. 
It is a network and it runs and 

734
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,720
you can verify the code for 
yourself and and run a node for 

735
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:20,760
yourself and and just follow the
rules and it doesn't matter who 

736
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,120
created this. 
A hundred 100%. 

737
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,400
Well, matters are the the 
someone said it in the chat. 

738
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:29,200
Satoshi doesn't matter. 
The ideas and principles of 

739
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,800
Bitcoin matter. 
I 100% agree with that statement

740
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,800
and other news to kind of wrap 
up the Newsweek this week 

741
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,760
because we had a lot of stuff. 
It's a great Newsweek, great 

742
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,640
news cycle week. 
So Swan Bitcoin launches, Swan 

743
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,600
mining out of stealth mode, goes
on to say this is part of the 

744
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,280
announcement on X. 
We've been working hard on a big

745
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,040
opportunity that came our way 
last year and today we're 

746
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,040
excited to bring our mining 
operation out of stealth mode. 

747
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,240
Swan mining began operations in 
summer 2023, currently operates 

748
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:04,840
at 4.5 XA hash with deployment 
expected to exceed 8 XA hash by 

749
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,680
March. 
Over 750 Bitcoin mine to date, 

750
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,560
Swan Mining developed and 
deployed at warp speed. 

751
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,760
Our understanding is that this 
is the fastest ever initial 

752
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,120
development of hash rate at the 
scale in Bitcoin history, said 

753
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,080
Hoffa Zaghuri, a chief investor,
chief investment officer at Swan

754
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,840
and head of Swan Mining. 
Quote. 

755
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,640
SWAN expanded dramatically over 
the past year, doubling team 

756
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,640
size and growing revenue to more
than 125 million annualized. 

757
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,440
The company intends to raise its
Series C financing in the in the

758
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,760
next in the coming months with 
uses of capital equally split 

759
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,000
between financial services, 
mining and acquisitions was 

760
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,200
stated in the press release. 
Swan founder and CEO Corey 

761
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,160
Clipson also said that quote the
company is actively working to 

762
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,320
achieve a public listing within 
the next 12 months. 

763
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,640
So I mean this is crazy. 
I think I saw the some of the 

764
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,600
right here it says it on the 
top. 

765
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,480
We're mining at 4.5 XA hashes, 
cloning it, closing in, closing 

766
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,120
in on 1% of the network with 
equipment in hand to ramp it up 

767
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,480
to 8X hashes. 
So I mean huge announcement from

768
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,240
Swan, a lot of people are kind 
of wondering where you know 

769
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:20,000
where this money came from. 
I saw, I saw it on Rabbit Hole 

770
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,840
recap and I saw some of of 
Bitcoin Twitter speculating that

771
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,400
maybe it came from tether, I 
don't know. 

772
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,560
I'm sure we'll kind of find out 
over the next couple months more

773
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,560
details as this comes out and 
but pretty big win for Swan and 

774
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,320
you know 1% of the network, I 
think that's that's a big 

775
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,160
accomplishment. 
But I think a lot of people 

776
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,920
still have certain questions 
about the operation, not to 

777
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,040
mention the fact that they 
pulled this, I mean Hoffa really

778
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,880
addressed this, but they pulled 
this off very, very quickly. 

779
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,760
It's not so easy to deploy 
miners very, very quickly. 

780
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,600
So, but I'm sure like I said, 
they're going to answer a lot of

781
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,520
these questions are going to be 
answered in the next couple of 

782
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,680
months as more information 
becomes public. 

783
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,880
So anyways, Opti, did this 
surprise you at all? 

784
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:09,040
Yeah, I mean like coming out of 
stealth mode with that much hash

785
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,160
power is absolutely incredible. 
And the and the fact that 

786
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,920
they're going for 1% of total 
hash, like that's that's huge. 

787
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,920
So you know, me personally, I 
don't ever root against Bitcoin 

788
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,920
only companies. 
And you know, I I wish Swan the 

789
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,000
best. 
But like coming out of stealth 

790
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000
mode with that much hash power 
and then claiming they're going 

791
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,480
to get even more like basically 
doubling their hash power by 

792
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,760
what like the end of this year 
something like absolutely crazy 

793
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,400
crazy stuff happening over 
there. 

794
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,720
So again you know I'm just I'm 
reading the news like everyone 

795
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,480
else is like oh snap you know 
four point what was it 4.5 XA 

796
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,000
hash is released like out of 
nowhere and and just the amount 

797
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,920
of I don't know work and capital
it must have took to deploy that

798
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,200
that much hash power is just 
it's crazy and then come out of 

799
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,920
stealth mode right now and and 
then kind of wanting to acquire 

800
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:03,200
more it's like wow they're 
they're building something huge 

801
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,680
over there and it's it's going 
to be incredible to watch moving

802
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,560
forward. 
Well, I think I saw that, Corey 

803
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,800
said. 
Is that 4.75 now? 

804
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,520
So wow, that's pretty cool. 
Now I I don't know their numbers

805
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,320
and I don't think that they've 
shared them, but it'll be 

806
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,280
interesting to see how they they
deal with this going into the 

807
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,040
halving. 
It's not an easy time for 

808
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,160
minors. 
And so I guess you know, they've

809
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,800
been going at it for a while 
now. 

810
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,320
They've just publicly disclosed 
it. 

811
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,720
But it'll be interesting to see 
what happens with the halving 

812
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,640
and how effective of a business 
this is for them or at least an 

813
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,880
arm of their business going into
April, May, June. 

814
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,240
You know, I guess in the near 
future, as the price will likely

815
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:41,000
appreciate, it won't be as 
tough. 

816
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,320
But I know right around the 
halving can be really difficult 

817
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,240
for a lot of minors a. 100% and.
And well the one question I have

818
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,720
are they using ocean? 
As their pool or what's doing 

819
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,360
now. 
So we're just recently reading 

820
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,960
the press release. 
We know as much as everyone else

821
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,360
that press release is. 
I tried to do as much research 

822
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,560
as possible in terms of the 
reaction from the community and 

823
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,960
the general consensus was like 
like where they raise that 

824
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,440
money. 
Some people were speculating 

825
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,960
that it came from Tether. 
Magoo was like basically putting

826
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,360
these things, basically saying 
that Tether was that he was like

827
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,840
connecting the dots between a 
Tether press release months ago 

828
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,640
and the the Swan press release. 
But again, that's all 

829
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,840
speculation. 
We don't know anything for 

830
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,560
certain, but I'm sure that more 
details will come to light as 

831
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,680
the days goes on. 
But I mean you know if you take 

832
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,320
the press release at press 
value, this is a big win for 

833
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,440
Swan. 
You know, a lot of hash, right? 

834
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,240
And again, you want Bitcoin 
companies to succeed like you 

835
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:42,360
want more hash rate coming 
online that that is, these are 

836
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,400
all things that are good for 
Bitcoin, right. 

837
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,400
So but yeah, like I said all the
I'm sure a lot of this stuff 

838
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,320
will be covered and we'll we'll 
give you guys an update once we 

839
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,040
wait. 
Let's read this comments Justin 

840

company is so efficient.

working and the Bitcoin 

842
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,520

879
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,040
All right, let's go, Josh. 
So again, maybe just start with 

880
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,720
what slices again and then we'll
get into some of this nitty 

881
00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:04,760
gritty and expose our audience 
to why they might want to add 

882
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,240
slice to their browser. 
Sure. 

883
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:11,440
So the basic idea for Slice is 
that you know when you're 

884
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,160
browsing online, you're being 
advertised to all the time. 

885
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,480
Or you block ads. 
You know, 40% of the Internet 

886
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,400
uses an ad blocker. 
I'm one of that 40% and Slice 

887
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,320
basically comes in and says, 
hey, if we share our revenue 

888
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,920
with you, would you be 
interested in seeing ads. 

889
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,240
So Slice has really been grown 
across 2023 into 2024. 

890
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:35,400
We have 550,000 downloads as of 
a couple days ago and anytime. 

891
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,680
Well, once you install the it's 
a Chrome extension. 

892
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,520
You can get it on other browsers
as well, but once you install 

893
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,760
it, you'll start seeing ads from
Slice and every time you see an 

894
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,760
ad, you're going to get what we 
call a slice, which I will say 

895
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,840
is not a token. 
It's just kind of the way we 

896
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:55,120
denominate how much you have on 
using slice. 

897
00:45:55,120 --> 00:46:00,160
But each each slice is 1/10 of a
penny and you can either take 

898
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,680
that whenever you're ready, get 
the payout in USD or in Bitcoin.

899
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:10,000
And 75 to 80% of people prefer 
SAT's, which is pretty cool. 

900
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,040
You know, talking about Bitcoin 
evangelism and trying to reach 

901
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,000
10 million people. 
I think that this is a great 

902
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,400
tool across the next couple of 
years especially to encourage 

903
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,480
people to get Bitcoin. 
It's one of those things where 

904
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,760
they haven't paid for 
necessarily, but whenever it 

905
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,120
comes time to cash out the 
slices, they see that they can 

906
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,680
either get a 4% cut if they want
dollars via PayPal or using the 

907
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,280
Lightning Network, they can get 
Bitcoin and they don't lose any 

908
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,400
of their money to fees. 
So it's a pretty cool thing. 

909
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,200
I will also say if you're a 
business and you want to run 

910
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,760
ads, this is as far as I know, 
the only way across all of the 

911
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,120
advertising industry to actually
be able to advertise to people 

912
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,080
with ad blockers. 
Because people have said hey, I 

913
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,320
have an ad blocker, but I'm 
happy to see ads if I'm getting 

914
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,000
paid. 
Interesting. 

915
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,840
All right, so just to be clear, 
like where is the ad money 

916
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,960
coming from? 
Is like Google ads like. 

917
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,120
Yeah, so, so right now we're 
we're partnered with you know 

918
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,240
there's a company like Tabula, 
they they send ads and we'll 

919
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,120
show those ads. 
But what I was brought on to the

920
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,600
team to do is develop 
relationships with Bitcoin 

921
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,200
companies. 
That's who I'm reaching out to 

922
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,760
right now. 
But eventually like direct to 

923
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,040
consumer companies, all these 
other companies and they would 

924
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,800
pay us for ads and whenever we 
get that money when someone sees

925
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,520
it and then we just split the ad
revenue 5050 with the user. 

926
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:36,040
Now Roman asked a great question
Sound, he says sounds like a 

927
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,280
token. 
Why not just denominate it in 

928
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,360
SAT's? 
Well it's not a token because 

929
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,680
you can't really trade it. 
It's just a way that the it's 

930
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,960
denominated as a bitcoiner. 
I wish it was denominated in 

931
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,480
Bitcoin, but the prize 
appreciation can really I guess 

932
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,000
catch people off guard 
potentially. 

933
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,960
So unless we kept all of our ad 
revenue in Bitcoin that would 

934
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,120
that could really mess this up, 
especially across the next 

935
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,320
couple of years. 
But yeah, it's the Brave browser

936
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,920
is one of those things that they
have their attention token or 

937
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,800
whatever it's called, 
essentially slices like Brave, 

938
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,080
but we're browser agnostic and 
instead of getting a scam token 

939
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,960
that you're never going to use, 
you can get stats. 

940
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,600
So that's I'm really excited 
about the opportunity to orange 

941
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,560
peel a bunch of people as they 
say, hey, I'm ready to cash out 

942
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,240
and see that they can save some 
money if they go into Bitcoin. 

943
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,000
Love it. 
And we had a question here and 

944
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,600
I'll pull up the numbers here. 
So what kind of revenue we 

945
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,080
talking here? 
Let's incentivize the users out 

946
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,600
there. 
So if if I do my job well, the 

947
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,080
users are going to be making 
more money. 

948
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,600
I I've, I've been using it 
across the last, you know, I 

949
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,760
think I said like 6-7, eight, 
eight months. 

950
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:51,520
I think it was last fall I was 
talking to Mike Jarmus and he 

951
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,840
told me about it. 
I downloaded it. 

952
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,120
I just cashed out recently and 
got like 16,000 SAT's. 

953
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,840
So it's one of those things 
you're not going to make a lot 

954
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,960
of money. 
It's it's a small way to thank 

955
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,840
you for your attention, but as I
create more relationships with 

956
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,920
businesses, then we actually get
more money from that direct 

957
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,720
relationship because we're not 
working with the middleman and 

958
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:19,080
so users are going to be making 
more money as I succeed in my 

959
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,160
part of the job. 
Love it. 

960
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,440
I mean, it kind of like goes to 
show that it's just like free 

961
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,920
money on the table. 
Like it's just there and you're 

962
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,400
now you get paid for it. 
And if you prefer, if you prefer

963
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,880
privacy, like if you want to use
your ad blocker, go for it. 

964
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,280
Once I found out about Slice 
before joining the company, I 

965
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,120
thought to myself, if I can get 
some Sats for seeing some ads, 

966
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,120
I'm happy to do it. 
So it's one of those things that

967
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,360
if if if you want to keep your 
privacy and you want to keep on 

968
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,640
using your ad blocker and never 
see ads, Nope, no shame in that.

969
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,800
But if you want to make a little
bit of money slices your 

970
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,640
opportunity. 
Yeah, I love it. 

971
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,440
I I was going to ask you that. 
Like our audience is generally 

972
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,360
privacy concerned. 
So what? 

973
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,240
What are the privacy 
implications here? 

974
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,640
Yeah. 
So if you go to this, one of 

975
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,680
those things that would be 
probably pretty boring to talk 

976
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,480
about, we're going to treat you.
Obviously we have to, you know, 

977
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,080
have some some data to show you 
ads, but we don't have like 

978
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,640
cookie tracking or anything like
that. 

979
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:21,560
We use your IP and if you want 
to really kind of get into the 

980
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,880
nitty gritty of what what it 
means to use slice, we have ad 

981
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,960
slice.com/transparency. 
That page is going to be not the

982
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,440
mumbo jumbo, but some pretty 
straightforward things connected

983
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,640
to targeting identifiers, 
activity, location, all these 

984
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,320
things. 
So if you wanted to read up on 

985
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:45,040
that adslice.com/transparency is
going to be the best place to do

986
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,920
that. 
I feel like talking talking 

987
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,600
through every single one of 
these might be a little 

988
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:52,560
laborious, but we try to be 
pretty upfront with people like 

989
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:54,480
you have to have some data to 
advertise. 

990
00:50:54,720 --> 00:51:00,560
But I Google's a black box and 
question is do you want if if 

991
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,960
you're going to be seeing ads, 
do you want Google or do you 

992
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,520
want slice? 
And for me, I've decided slice. 

993
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:07,520
Love it. 
Love it. 

994
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,600
OK, next next topic. 
You are also a content creator. 

995
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,560
Why would content creators want 
to add slice? 

996
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,200
Well so the the creator thing 
right now is just for Twitch. 

997
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,920
I think something like Simply 
Bitcoin will be great once we 

998
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,080
add YouTube. 
But basically for creators, we 

999
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,520
we've partnered with creators 
once again over on Twitch, and 

1000
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:35,600
if they're a slice creator, 
every listener of theirs or 

1001
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,000
every, you know, subscriber, 
whatever else that that is a 

1002
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,080
user of slice whenever they're 
watching, for instance. 

1003
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,760
Simply, simply Bitcoin. 
Simply Bitcoin gets slices half 

1004
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,000
the revenue. 
So remember, like slice splits 

1005
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,080
revenue with the user 5050. 
But Slice, the company says, 

1006
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,240
hey, simply Bitcoin. 
If you're going to be promoting 

1007
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:58,440
us to your audience, we're going
to give you our half of the 

1008
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,320
revenue when someone's watching 
your channel. 

1009
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,840
OK, yeah, we we do have a 
twitch, so no one knows we have 

1010
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,000
a twitch. 
We have one person over on 

1011
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Twitch right now, shouts out to 
the Twitch person. 

1012
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:10,960
But yeah, no one knows we're on 
Twitch. 

1013
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,520
So, so if if you're if you 
wanted to try it out with your 

1014
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,400
with your 1 user and you 
convince them to actually use 

1015
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,320
slice, and every time they're 
seeing an ad, you're going to 

1016
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:24,360
get slices 50%, we figure it's a
great way to get in front of new

1017
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,440
audiences and also to be able to
give back to the creator. 

1018
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,400
Is it KYC? 
Do you have to put in your ID to

1019
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,400
start receiving SATS? 
So you have to you have to sign 

1020
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,360
up for slice like the the 
extension, but it's just an L 

1021
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,320
and URL so it just pops up and 
you you know, scan the QR code 

1022
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,120
and you got sats. 
OK, all right, so it's no KYC or

1023
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,400
nothing. 
You just gotta put in your 

1024
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,680
e-mail and like make an account 
and all that stuff. 

1025
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,560
Yeah, yeah. 
So it's like a go to the Chrome 

1026
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:53,800
Extension store. 
Look up slice. 

1027
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,640
There's also a Slice tab, which 
is a separate extension because 

1028
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,000
of some technical things I'm not
well versed in. 

1029
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,120
But every time you open up a new
tab, you see an ad and you get 

1030
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,120
some slices for that as well. 
So it's kind of a nice little 

1031
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,800
thing to get some extra money. 
Now there's also tracks, you 

1032
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,320
know, people, we're tracking 
people's activity to where if 

1033
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,120
you're just like sitting there 
opening tabs all day, then 

1034
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,400
you're going to get a shadow 
ban. 

1035
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,240
But that's it's it's kind of a 
nice little thing and eventually

1036
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,840
just like what what they do on 
Brave, we want to have like an 

1037
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,320
entire page that's an ad for you
know, whatever company like, you

1038
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,840
know, Swan River, any any of 
these types of companies. 

1039
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,400
I think it'd be super cool to be
able to just have like an entire

1040
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,480
ad that encourages people to get
on a Bitcoin only exchange. 

1041
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,560
Because when I came to Bitcoin 
in 2021 it was through skip the 

1042
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,600
crypto stuff all together. 
I I had great Bitcoin only, 

1043
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,720
Bitcoin only education and 
explanation from the beginning 

1044
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,520
and I went and bought Bitcoin 
from a Bitcoin only platform. 

1045
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,880
So the more I can do that and 
the more I can help people do 

1046
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,840
that, the better. 
Yeah, I love it. 

1047
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,280
Love it, dude. 
Shouts out to our one Twitch 

1048
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,480
streamer. 
Maybe you want to add slice? 

1049
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:02,040
We appreciate it. 
All right, Josh, let's let's do 

1050
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,640
a little pivot before we get 
into the meme review, guys, 

1051
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,200
because I did bring a meme in. 
It's Friday. 

1052
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,040
You, you are a content creator 
and you are working on some 

1053
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,880
other stuff. 
So let's plug that What's a 

1054
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,000
business? 
Bitcoin Ization is Your Pod or 

1055
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,000
What's That podcast? 
Yep, yeah, Podcast. 

1056
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,400
And I just actually came out 
with an episode with the guys 

1057
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,880
from the Bitcoin Film Fest 
today. 

1058
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,440
So if you want to check that 
out, it's pretty cool. 

1059
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,560
They're, you know, getting 
together. 

1060
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,480
The next Bitcoin Film Fest is 
going to happen during the 

1061
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,960
European having party, but 
business bitcoinization. 

1062
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,200
Check it out on Fountain. 
I saw Torp huddle earlier 

1063
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,320
commenting. 
He's a listener. 

1064
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,160
He supports on Fountain 
sometimes. 

1065
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,600
So thank you Torp, for that. 
Yeah. 

1066
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,840
Basically when I came into the 
Bitcoin space, the ecosystem, I 

1067
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,400
was looking around. 
I've been podcasting for a 

1068
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,040
couple of years and I was just 
trying to see how I could kind 

1069
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,320
of contribute something unique 
and no one was talking about 

1070
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,680
business. 
And so I started the business 

1071
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,640
Bitcoinization podcast and I 
interviewed different business 

1072
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,000
owners or or people who have 
products and services in the 

1073
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,560
Bitcoin space that can help 
business owners and just have 

1074
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:08,080
released 91 episodes as of today
and no plans to stop anytime 

1075
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,240
soon. 
So check it out. 

1076
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:12,080
It'd be great to have some some 
listeners from the show if 

1077
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,640
that's kind of up your alley. 
Let's go and and just like quick

1078
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,560
question, how has been the 
response from small business 

1079
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,160
owners in regards to Bitcoin 
like do you go one-on-one and 

1080
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,800
talk to like business owners or 
just the podcast? 

1081
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,240
Yeah. 
So a lot of people change the 

1082
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,800
subject, change the subject 
pretty quickly whenever I hang 

1083
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,840
it up. 
But like I said so I actually I 

1084
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,320
was saying this offline. 
So I'll go ahead and say it. 

1085
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,440
Now we have the I'm, I'm based 
in the Jackson, Ms. area and we 

1086
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,680
have a Bitcoin meet up. 
We're planning a having party 

1087
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:45,080
ourselves and place we meet is 
called Belhaven Town Center and 

1088
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,400
the initials for that are BTC. 
The guy who is kind of behind 

1089
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,560
that development project is 
himself a bitcoiner. 

1090
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,760
And so we've been trying to talk
through how to, in the most 

1091
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,840
attractive and natural way, 
begin introducing Bitcoin to 

1092
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,480
these business owners. 
And one thing I've kind of come 

1093
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,680
to recently is that you can't 
convince someone. 

1094
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,080
Well, you can, but like it's 
hard to convince someone to 

1095
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,040
accept Bitcoin. 
What you need to do is help them

1096
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,520
to see the value of Bitcoin so 
that they'll become a bitcoiner.

1097
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,680
Once they're a bitcoiner, 
they're gonna start saying, hey,

1098
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,040
how can I get some more sats? 
And then that's when they start 

1099
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,680
using the tools like their 
business to begin trying to get 

1100
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:22,960
some more Bitcoin for 
themselves. 

1101
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,720
Love it. 
Cool man. 

1102
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:26,360
Don't agree more. 
OK, Last thing. 

1103
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,240
Last thing, Nico. 
I'm gonna, I'm gonna add to what

1104
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:33,160
Opti was saying, which is like 
the, the this is like passive, 

1105
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,760
right? 
So like, even if it doesn't give

1106
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,360
you too much money, like, it's 
just like it's something that 

1107
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,040
you download it, you know, it 
does its thing, and then every 

1108
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,800
once in a while you could just 
withdraw. 

1109
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,920
And then you were saying, you 
know, like maybe it's like 5 

1110
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,360
bucks a month now, but you know,
if Bitcoin 10 XS when Bitcoin 10

1111
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,000
XS from here, that's actually 50
bucks, right? 

1112
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,480
So you know, it's maybe it's not
a lot of money, but you know 

1113
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,360
it's it's money that you weren't
going to get anyways and you 

1114
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,640
don't have to, like, spend your 
time doing anything else. 

1115
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,120
It's totally in the background. 
I was actually talking with 

1116
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:08,200
someone the other day on one of 
their platforms and I was 

1117
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,520
talking to her. 
She said I was telling her about

1118
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:13,520
slice and then she had forgotten
that she even had it. 

1119
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,400
She had been using it for a 
while and had just forgotten 

1120
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,160
because it's in the background. 
Like when I open up a new tab, I

1121
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,120
see how many slices I have. 
That's because I have the the 

1122
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,040
new tab feature as well. 
But yeah, you you have a lot of 

1123
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:25,960
controls there too. 
So once you sign up, you'll see 

1124
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,080
you can see more ads, less ads. 
Of course you know I want to see

1125
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,200
as many as possible so I can get
as many Sats as possible, but 

1126
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,240
you have some controls there 
there as well for yourself. 

1127
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,680
Love it. 
We do have one question and I 

1128
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,720
don't know if you can sneak 
release or anything, but will 

1129
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,520
this be available for like 
Safari or anything more than 

1130
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,680
Chrome or is it just going to be
Chrome extensions? 

1131
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,360
It's it's Chrome and Chrome 
based and apparently a lot of 

1132
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,840
I'm getting out of my depth 
here, but a lot of browsers are 

1133
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,120
somehow Chrome based. 
Also it should be on Firefox. 

1134
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,400
We're doing some things there to
make it a little faster and 

1135
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,240
easier, but I don't know if for 
some reason we don't have with 

1136
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:02,600
Safari. 
I'm sure there's a good reason 

1137
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,120
for that. 
It may just be an Apple thing, I

1138
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,720
don't know, but unfortunately 
it's not available for Safari. 

1139
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,680
Sounds like an Apple thing. 
They need their cut, bro. 

1140
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,920
They need their cut. 
OK, last thing before we get 

1141
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,600
into the memes, Josh, you do 
have another project that you 

1142
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,800
said is just barely getting off 
the ground. 

1143
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,480
So let's plug that and then we 
can get some laughs for Friday. 

1144
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,200
Yeah. 
So the man behind this is Daniel

1145
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,120
Hershberger. 
He he's just starting up a 

1146
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,720
nonprofit called Bitcoin is 
Better, which is focused on 

1147
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,280
reintroducing Bitcoin to the 
working class. 

1148
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,320
A lot of people have heard about
Bitcoin but don't necessarily 

1149
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,120
understand it or know about it. 
And So what we're trying to do 

1150
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:43,480
is go to the working class 
especially and promote the 

1151
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,920
peaceful adoption of a Bitcoin 
standard by 2040. 

1152
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,320
So that's really what we're 
looking to do and we're actually

1153
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,000
going to be I think having I 
think are having party and 

1154
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,240
Jackson is going to be one of 
the 1st events that's connected 

1155
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,680
to Bitcoin is better. 
So just kind of getting out and 

1156
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,800
about to the community and 
sharing with them about Bitcoin 

1157
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,600
in a way that makes sense to 
them and is valuable to them. 

1158
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:06,000
So it's bitcoinisbetter.org if 
you want to check that out, and 

1159
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,960
I'm really excited about being 
able to help with Bitcoin 

1160
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,680
adoption for the working class. 
Love it? 

1161
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,920
Yeah, that's. 
Couldn't agree more. 

1162
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:14,840
Couldn't agree more. 
All right. 

1163
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,560
New question I've been asking 
all of our guests the put a bow 

1164
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,640
on this What is your last advice
to the audience out there? 

1165
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,000
What's the last thing you want 
to leave the people with out 

1166
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,160
there? 
Man, that's a great question, I 

1167
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:30,840
would say. 
I mean, check out Slice. 

1168
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,640
If you're a business owner, I 
would love to talk with you 

1169
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:38,760
josh@adslice.com, but find ways 
where you can stack some Sats 

1170
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,440
like I just see someone 
commenting here full Lolly 

1171
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,240
Slice. 
All these places take advantage 

1172
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,520
while you can because in the 
future, your generation, the 

1173
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,760
future generations are going to 
think you're crazy for not 

1174
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,240
taking advantage of these 
opportunities. 

1175
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,000
So just, you know, stay humble, 
Stack Sats. 

1176
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,920
I feel like that's kind of a 
good place to end it, and 

1177
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,040
they're all these tools that you
can incorporate into your life 

1178
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,880
now that make it easier than 
ever. 

1179
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:01,360
Love it. 
Everyone likes free money. 

1180
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,120
Take the free money. 
Take money. 

1181
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,680
Free money.

1186
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,880
I don't want to update anything.
Oh the Oh yeah, the weekly meme 

1187
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,320

Tweets of the bullets, memes of 
the artillery. 

1194
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,360
We are in an information war and
it's upon you guys out there. 

1195
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,720
The frontline soldiers to spread

corporate press and of course 
make some funny So your friends 

1197
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:01,480
head stay in the game. 
All right 1st meme is by our boy

1198
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,560
American Huddle AKA American 
Huddle 8 on Twitter. 

1199
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000
I guess it's his eighth account.
Now we have this this bar here. 

1200
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,880
You know it's it's from January 
to December and it's pointing at

1201
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,240
January and it goes you are here
where SAT you currently huddle 

1202
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,600
and then you have all year the 
opportunity to get more cheap 

1203
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,400
stats before we hit all time 
high and the bull run and you 

1204
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:28,320
can see in April we are going to
have the halving so keep 

1205
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,200
stacking it's going to be a 
great year I'm I'm kind of 

1206
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,600
convinced he's kind of bearish 
on this one his all time high 

1207
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,680
bull run going to be in December
or earlier Nico I am I we'll see

1208
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:42,560
we'll see we'll see Anyways 
anyways next one is by Dan Webb 

1209
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,680
AKA Heartland Bitcoin on Twitter
and he goes we're at this stage 

1210
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,520
of Bitcoin adoption and for for 
all you millennials and Gen. 

1211
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,240
Xers and boomers out there 
remember when CD players became 

1212
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,800
a thing and all your cars had 
tape tape decks in it. 

1213
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:03,520
Well, this is Bitcoin parallels 
to the legacy financial system. 

1214
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:10,560
You have your Panasonic CD 
player plugged into your tape, 

1215
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,760
what audio adapter and this is 
what's going on. 

1216
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,040
This literally sums up exactly 
what's going on in traditional 

1217
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,040
finance. 
You know, we're talking about 

1218
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,280
Jamie Dimon. 
We're seeing Elizabeth Warren 

1219
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:26,000
come out against Bitcoin and 
then we see Gary Gensler approve

1220
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,400
a spot Bitcoin ETF. 
And I've been saying this for a 

1221
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,760
while. 
What we're seeing right now is 

1222
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,320
the traditional fun on system 
trying to integrate Bitcoin. 

1223
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:38,480
But they can't they can't put 
what's it the square in the 

1224
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,880
round peg and so they're going 
to have to reroute everything 

1225
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,800
they're doing. 
This is a parallel system and 

1226
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,360
and it's not, you know they're 
going to need CD players in 

1227
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,080
their car. 
They're going to need aux cables

1228
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,280
to the financial system anyways.
Next one is by Lena Siche and 

1229
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,760
she goes trust the process and 
this week I don't think we 

1230
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,960
really covered this this week, 
but FTX had to unload a lot of 

1231
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,160
the G. 
BTCS. 

1232
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,600
People are saying that maybe 
this is one of the reasons why 

1233
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,840
the price is down and you can 
see FTX dumping Bitcoin. 

1234
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,240
And we have a little hodler over
here goes, Oh no, it's going to 

1235
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,000
crash. 
And he's got an umbrella because

1236
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,240
the price is going down. 
And then he looks back up and 

1237
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:16,400
he's like, wait, what's going 
on? 

1238
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,680
How come the price didn't go? 
Absolutely. 

1239
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,320
Why didn't it crater on us? 
Well, it's because we have Wall 

1240
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,560
Street scooping up Bitcoin and 
we have Hodler scooping up 

1241
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,840
Bitcoin and more Hodler scooping
up Bitcoin and you guys out 

1242
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,200
there stacking them sad. 
So This is why. 

1243
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,000
OK, you know, we're back at, 
what are we 41K today? 

1244
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,000
All right, next one. 
Shots at the sea door. 

1245
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,200
Always hitting me in the DM 
saying they can't wait till one 

1246
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,920
of their memes gets on. 
Simply Bitcoin Meme review. 

1247
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,480
I'm pretty sure I've done one of
yours in the past, bro, but here

1248
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,320
you go. 
OK, so we have. 

1249
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,160
What is this iRobot? 
I forget, is iRobot? 

1250
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,800
Will Smith and iRobot. 
All right, so he goes. 

1251
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,720
Is Bitcoin really trustless for 
us? 

1252
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,840
Greg Brains. 
And we have Will Smith. 

1253
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,880
Here goes in regards to Bitcoin.
It's open source. 

1254
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,240
Everybody can check the code and
then we have the robot and it 

1255
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,840
goes can you. 
And then we have Will Smith. 

1256
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:09,200
You know the teary like, yeah, 
is it really trustless when US 

1257
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,160
Greg brains can't really verify 
the code And then you can see 

1258
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,400
Luke Dash news. 
It's not that hard guys. 

1259
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,800
Okay bro. 
All right, this next one is 

1260
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,720
Walker America. 
I absolutely love this. 

1261
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,560
This is such a good narrative, 
he goes. 

1262
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,320
Twice as much Bitcoin is lost as
is currently controlled by 

1263
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,520
institutions and governments. 
Only a tiny fraction of the 

1264
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:36,320
world owns Bitcoin and after the
having in April, only 1.3125 / 

1265
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,960
21 million Bitcoin will be left 
to be mined. 

1266
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,640
It make it might make sense to 
get some just in case it catches

1267
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,320
on. 
And here's a visuals of you know

1268
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,880
all the Bitcoin in circulation. 
You have Satoshi's coin. 

1269
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,480
You have all the individuals 
that have scooped up most of the

1270
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,280
Bitcoin. 
You have more lost Bitcoin than 

1271
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,440
institutions and governments 
holding you have unmined 

1272
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,120
Bitcoin. 
Man. 

1273
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,640
It's really when you once you 
put in a visual it, it really 

1274
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,600
goes to show just how 
distributed the Bitcoin is 

1275
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,240
currently. 
And you know, and wait, didn't 

1276
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,320
we see yesterday that apparently
the US government is going to 

1277
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:15,000
sell their Silk Road coins as 
well, So US government's going 

1278
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,080
to have even less Bitcoin? 
God, just love to see it. 

1279
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:18,600
Love to. 
See. 

1280
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,440
It said that for a while. 
Am I am I missing out on 

1281
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,520
something? 
I feel like they've sold it so 

1282
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,560
many times. 
They've sold some over the 

1283
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,760
years, but I think, I think 
they're going to. 

1284
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:30,640
Sorry, hold on, I'm joking on my
saliva over here. 

1285
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,160
I think they're going to sell 
the remaining of their stash so 

1286
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:38,320
we'll see what happens. 
Maybe This is why Bitcoin price 

1287
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,160
is is cratering because they're 
selling it anyways. 

1288
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,200
The next one is by G Money Pepe 
and he goes New resistance map 

1289
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,400
to global Fiat tyranny just 
dropped. 

1290
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:52,600
I stand with Bitcoin and the Fed
and it is America fully covered 

1291
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,160
and entrenched in Bitcoin. 
Crazy stuff going on in the 

1292
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:56,280
world. 
Wait. 

1293
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,720
You're against Bitcoin. 
You're against freedom. 

1294
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,280
Now we are seeing everyone in 
the world needs some Bitcoin. 

1295
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,480
If you are against Bitcoin, you 
are against freedom. 

1296
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:08,760
If you do not like the 
trajectory of the world going 

1297
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,160
straight into a dystopian 
tyranny, then you might want to 

1298
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,760
get some Bitcoin. 
It it might might make sense. 

1299
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,360
It might you know, it might 
protect you. 

1300
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,680
I don't know. 
I'm just I I I'm just a biased 

1301
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,440
bitcoiner. 
I think Bitcoin is freedom and 

1302
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,600
you should own some. 
Anyways, guys, drop your meme 

1303
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,240

we cover ours live. 

1304
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,720

I'm gonna give it clarity and 
vision here for the meme review

01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,760
Give him some time. 
You already know the deal. 

1329
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,360
You already know the deal. 
We got to play the merch, bro. 

1330
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,040
All right, tell all about the 
merch, bro. 

1331
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:47,920
All right guys, We oh, oh, we 
have gotten the new merch. 

1332
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,880
We, I think we just got some 
visuals. 

1333
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,680
We have yet to fully secure the 
bag for you guys. 

1334
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,920
But I think you guys are going 
to really like the new merch 

1335
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,440
design. 
We have partnered with a Bitcoin

1336
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,040
artist. 
We got two designs. 

1337
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,760
We got some hats for you guys. 
So Matthew, we got hats coming. 

1338
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,760
I think we we probably have like
10 T-shirts left. 

1339
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,080
I think we have like 1010 of 
these orange hoodies. 

1340
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,480
We will be getting new designs 
soon. 

1341
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,439
We will partner with some more 
Bitcoin artists to get you guys 

1342
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,640
some epic designs but I think 
you guys are going to really 

1343
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,120
like these new designs that we 
we got a we got a little edit 

1344
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,880

we're like yo these ones are 

1346
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:35,399

So again they are limited they

they hopefully will go fast and 
you guys can Rep the merch so. 

1348
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,960
So they're not just piling up at
Nico's house right now, OK? 

1349
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,840
Let's let's go through the meme 
scores. 

1350
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:52,040
First one by Justin, some good 
orange volcano coffee for Nico. 

1351
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,399
Yeah, Nico needs some coffee. 
Elaine scored. 

1352
01:08:55,399 --> 01:09:00,120
Not not goal. 
Guld in a cavern, In a cabin. 

1353
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:04,000
In a In a cavern, In a cabin 
excavating for a mine. 

1354
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,319
Bitcoin miners. 
Nothing's finer. 

1355
01:09:06,319 --> 01:09:08,000
Bitcoin freedom. 
Just in time. 

1356
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,399
All right sat wise I give the 
memes 200K simply Bitcoin 

1357
01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:15,920
subscribers by the end of the 
year. 

1358
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:20,240
Wine would be extremely happy. 
Wine gives it Nico, pronouncing 

1359
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:24,920
Malay correctly 2 out of 
1,000,000 times and.

lycovolcanic gnosis. 
OK, Narwhal tacos. 

1366
01:09:48,399 --> 01:09:51,160
My meme score is a + 42 K Fiat 
price level. 

1367
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:52,880
It's cringe, I know, but here it

1372
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,160
Wait, wait. 
Actually, before we go, Nico, 

1373
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:08,880
sorry, sorry. 
I don't mean to cut you off.
