Yo, it's your boy Opti. And today is Wednesday, December
7th. Welcome to Simply Bitcoin.
We are your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
Revolution. We cover the breaking news
culture and memetic warfare, and we will be your guide through
the separation of money and state.
As you can tell, I'm in control of today's show.
I am the captain now and we got you the show that you guys love.
So, Niko's taking a break, he's got to go do some Swan duties
today. Today.
But I am not alone. I do have my buddy, Rustin and
as you can tell, on today's show has the title and the thumbnail
show. We are going to go into this
Jordan Pederson debacle on Twitter about him calling anons
cowards. And as bitcoiners, we know the
importance of sued. What's it?
Not a, not a, not a middle. Oh my God, I can't even fake.
Soon, on amenity, can't speak, but we know what it means to be
an on out there. So we're going to cover this in
the culture section. I meant, but, of course, before
I go on, I got rust in in the building.
Rustin. How you doing today?
What are we covering in the News segment, bro?
Yo, good morning. Um, so we got some good stuff
today. Free advertising for Bitcoin is
in abundance, okay? So let's we're going to start it
off with Bitcoin as a commodity we're going to go to Nigeria, I
hear the inara is just booming over there, Russia to ban minors
from selling the Russians. So what's up with that Iran
freezing with Men's accounts in short, the world needs Bitcoin
more today than it did yesterday.
Well, we say that every single day.
Amazing, amazing. Alright, I'm excited for this
one. Let's get into the numbers,
guys. The Bitcoin members brought to
you by not all at this point, you should be running your own
Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
server. Visit not L.E you today Let's
go, let's go. All right, guys, so I noticed
yesterday, starts with the price every single day which you know,
I don't know if he's feeding you guys to help him, but we got to
start with the block height every single day.
Like I do in the spaces and we are at block height of 760. 6325
and the current Moscow time, aka the SATs per dollar is five
thousand, nine hundred and forty-three.
And if you guys are still watching the price every single
day, you guys have noticed that the Bitcoin prices hovering
around that, 17K we are At sixteen thousand, eight hundred
and eighteen. And like I've said before, in
the past, my favorite number, the percentage issued of Bitcoin
total Supply is at ninety one point five five percent and the
current market capitalization is at three hundred and twenty
three point. Three billion guys this is this
this number blows my mind. Remember when we were in like
the trillion Market trillion dollar market cap for Bitcoin
last year. Wow.
Bitcoin is still a baby. We are still early and as Nico,
he says The realize monetary inflation of Bitcoin, taking
Fiat currencies to school. We are at one point seven six
percent and I forget which numbers he adds over here.
So I added my few, you guys know, these are my numbers, the
Bitcoin versus gold market cap is at 2.63 percent.
Currently guys, there is still a lot of room to grow before we
overtake the gold market cap, and then go on further to the
moon and the lightning total capacity right now currently.
Well, at least publicly is at 870 .89 Bitcoin with a capacity
value and Fiat terms of eighty five point three million dollars
and the hash rate for the last 90 days is that 250 1.7 x?
A hashes? I know we didn't cover about the
difficulty adjustments, but maybe we'll cover that coming up
soon. Anyways, on today's number
segment, guys, we have a really good video that Nico mashed up
for us and it's the same topic that we're going to be covering
in the news. Today guys, we are living in a
very very strange time right now.
The power is that be the authoritarian the Tyrant they
are continuing to push cbc's on the masses that continue to try
to frame it as better payment and in the world that we live in
in this digital world we cover this basically every single
dead. It is amazing that the powers
that be are trying to Gaslight us into getting completely tract
and bagged on this monetary Mm, that is designed to steal from
us. That has inflation, you know,
created and baked into the system as Big.
Sean Harris said, yesterday, you know, it's got expiration date
on your money, which in our opinion is bitcoiners literally
negates. The whole reason of holding
money, but we here at simply Bitcoin or you guys out there as
bitcoiners, Bitcoin content creators, you know, just shit.
Posters we are not. The only ones that are seeing
this bearing nefarious Trend happening.
Meaning it is starting to seep into I wouldn't say Legacy
Media, but alternative media sources out there that are also
covering what we cover here every single day.
We are not alone in this fight for Freedom.
There is still some good journalists out there.
There are still people that see the writing on the wall and are
afraid of the dystopian future that the powers that be want for
us. So again, I got this, this video
that we mashed up and let's play this real quick and then we will
jump back in but the moral Story.
Guys, is It is Bitcoin or it is slavery.
Make sure we push this message because the CBD see narrative
out there is purely a Gaslight to ensure that we can't freely
associate that we can't freely transact with who we want to
that. We can't speak freely because
they have a monopoly on truth and this is how they are able to
continue down. This absolute clown world that
we are living in. So let's get into this video and
then we'll come back and we'll talk about it.
On the way home the other evening.
I saw a very airy poster on the tube saying when an abuser
controls your finances, they control you, it's part of a safe
spaces, ad campaign, raising awareness about economic abuse
which occurs in 95% of domestic abuse situations.
It's an important conversation to be had, what really struck me
though, was how HSBC seem to be foreshadowing or Futures.
The bank of England says looking closely at whether we should
introduce a central bank, digital currency in The UK and
how it might work if we did, the bank of England, previously,
told ministers to intervene on digital probe currency
programming, so that digital cash could be programmed to
ensure it is only spent on Essentials or Goods which an
employer or government deems to be sensible.
Imagine a world where money is no longer printed its created on
a computer, a computer, which says, where you can spend your
money, what you can spend it on and how much you can spend our
world where the bank of England. And by extension the government
knows where you spend every single penny, that is a world
without Freedom as my, dear friend and colleague.
Neil Oliver, says, freedom to transact, Trump's all others.
Let's go, absolute pure signal there and of course Nico had to
mash up at the very end, what we try to tell you guys.
Every single day, it is Bitcoin or it is slavery.
And I know when we started saying this on the show, I know
when he co-created this meme in the very beginning, it might
have seen like hyperbole, but we have gone from, you know,
conspiracy theorist to this. Is them saying the silent Parts
out loud more and more we are seeing signs.
We are seeing the writing on the wall, the authoritarians, the
Tyrant, the politician, the central planners and Central
Bankers. Keep saying the same thing.
They want to control everything about you and I really love what
he said here because it's not just us saying this.
It's not just two YouTubers now three with Ruston it's not just
some YouTubers out here saying what we know to be the true that
the truth sorry that cbc's are all about control you know as as
the shit Corners out there like to say you programmable money
Well, in this cashless Society, this dystopia that they want for
you. They will program the money to
steal from you to expire, to ensure that you can't spend your
money. We're on what and how you want
to spend this. And this is why we are so
adamant about Bitcoin because he said it himself, they want to
push a CBC on you so that you can only spend money on
Essentials by decree of your employer by decree of the
central planners by three of the authoritarians and the tyrants
and the government, the politicians, the central
planners out there will know everything you spend your money
on. And this is why we are so big
about Bitcoin because Bitcoin is freedom money.
Bitcoin is a freedom of speech fight because if you can't
freely transact with your money if you can't transact with who,
and what you want to then how can we ever know truly what
Society wants? As we said all the time and it's
just to Echo What Reagan said in the 80s, you know, vote with
your pocketbook and then vote with your feet.
This is what Bitcoin allows for you guys and these are the only
two votes that matter. Quit, putting your name on a
ballot on a piece of paper and expecting things to change, if
you really want things to change, you need to opt out into
Bitcoin, you need to start saving and Bitcoin, you need to
start using as we've co-opted the meme.
Ethical Bitcoin wallets like breeze, Moon, Walter Satoshi
Phoenix. I'm blanking right now cuz we
are alive. But you know what?
Sparrow wallet, Bitcoin core Spectre.
You need to use these tools so that you can opt out of the
madness because if you just go along willy-nilly right now and
and you keep digging your head in the sand, then in the future,
you might wake up in a dystopian world where you can't freely
transact in a world with no freedoms in a world where you
can't speak the truth without fear of getting.
He platform ostracized from society.
And this is a future that I do not want to live in.
So, this is why I go so hard every single day to talk about
Bitcoin. I've even put my face out there
to do it. So that, you know, if I have to
be one of those face, you know, publicly facing people, at least
we have people out here, fighting the good fight on the
front lines as well as all you guys in the anons and we will
talk about this on today's culture.
So guys I say it all the time and we Say it every single day.
It is bitcoiners slavery and it is no longer hyperbole as we
will cover in the news today. These are the facts.
They are saying the silent part out loud and you need to opt out
in the Bitcoin anyways. Rest and what are your thoughts
on this video? And then we will move into the
culture I think Rave, elevators, set it good people ask what time
it is, I say time to self custody.
So, economic abuse, who is the biggest economic abuser, the
state, all right? And cdc's, like you said, it's
just slave. They're going to tell you where
what, and when you can spend you kind of see this Clash coming,
right? Like f, a Hayek said, this a
long time ago if we're going to correct this system and bring
freedom and sound money. It needs to come from outside
the system and kind of work its way in.
Now, you can't Institute collectivism in the United
States directly through Congress.
But you could through a CBC and a social credit system, or you
could Implement a free market and a prosperous Paris future of
which like the founders would have intended by adopting a more
Bitcoin sound money standard but it's it's like this thing is
coming to a head, you know, globally and we're seeing it all
pop. What 90 some countries working
on their collectivist banking, digital pin Opticon coin, right?
And so, here we are, this is, this is what we've been
preparing for, for 10 years. 13 years in total, but You know,
just stay on the mission. Push sound money, push that
gospel and you know, the truth wins out and Bitcoin is truth.
I love it. The truth will win guys.
Bitcoin is the most inclusive. The most Equitable money in the
world Bitcoin is freedom money. And this is why you guys are so
Savage pushing Bitcoin because we've seen the truth and we want
a better world so I mean they can paint Us in any way they
want but the truth will be set free and the It's out of the
bag. Bitcoin is freedom in the cannot
stop it. So continue to push Bitcoin,
continue to spread Bitcoin, continue to make that Bitcoin
content, because we are winning this war.
We are winning the information war and it is our mean world and
everyone else is just living in it.
All right guys, let's get into the culture.
The daily culture brought to you by Swan Bitcoin.com, Swan is the
best way to build your Bitcoin stack with automated Bitcoin
savings plans and instant purchases serving clients of any
size from ten dollars to ten million dollars.
We love Swan because they incentivize self custody and
dollar cost averaging. What are you waiting for?
Visit Swan, Bitcoin.com today let's go.
All right boys and girls. Also shout out to our friends.
He's over at B Block, boom. We will be at the Bitcoin
conference bit Park, boom conference, August 24, 25, 26
and 27 in Austin Texas, a true Bitcoin conference Nico and I
met for the first time in person at B Block.
Boom 2020. And man this is not a shit coin
and if t or blockchain event. It's Bitcoin Bitcoin and more
Bitcoin. All right, we got that out of
the way so let's get into the Nitty Gritty first and foremost,
guys. Remember I used to wear the
mask, it was for one simple reason to stay anon on the show
because we need people to be able to continue to speak the
truth. No matter what.
And I don't know about you guys but as we keep covering on this
show, speaking the truth has you know it comes with baggage.
Now they do not want you to speak the truth.
But anyways, let's get into this story and we will cover this a
little more. More.
So as you can see on the screen, guys, Jordan Pederson, man, me
and me and Russell were talking about this in the before the
show, and it seems like, Jordan Pederson has become full status.
He once was part of the intellectual dark web and now,
it seems like he is getting lost in the sauce.
So anyways, for those that aren't familiar with what's
going on. Jordan Pederson.
The going on these tirade on Twitter about, you know,
battling Anonymous cowardly. All demons and how you need to
show your face so that you can stand by Your Word.
So, anyways, you got a tweet here.
He did a poll and goes by failing to separate the
anonymous cowardly troll demon from real people in the comments
section, YouTube and other social media platform are
enabling sadistic Machiavellian Psychopaths and narcissists.
And as you can see, his poll, definitely went counter to what
he was saying. We got any 9725 Seven votes and
44 percent agree, and 55 percent disagree.
And again, he has continued to double down and I didn't get all
of his takes because it all boils down to one simple thing.
It seems like he is gay. He's getting he's getting bashed
out there by the keyboard Warriors.
But anyways, let me not get there yet.
So again, he quote, Tweed. This one goes this exposes all
to the radically polarizing influence of a small percentage
of truly bad luck. Seeking the mentors, the true
danger of virtualization and he doubled down more and someone
responded and said, anonymity is my right to privacy.
Keep your hands off it and he doubled down and said in one
word ordered and the amount of backlash that he's getting on
Twitter has been truly amazing by bitcoiners because as a big
Corner we understand the importance of anonymity of being
pseudonymous because the very creator of Bitcoin was Satoshi
Nakamoto himself and no one knows who he is, which means
that, you know dr. Jordan Pederson in this one,
tweet is calling him a coward and an Our perspective, he is
probably the most courageous Noble person.
This side of the 21st century considering that he created
bitcoin, and he did it with one thing in mind, he needed to keep
his identity secret so that they could not kill him so that they
could not shut down this project a bit.
One because in the very beginning he was basically the
only one maintaining. And as we tell you guys every
single day, the difference between Bitcoin and shit coin is
that there is a figurehead that you can chop off encrypt ol and,
you know, whether the foundation, whether there's a
corporation whether is there is a Wonder kid dictator that calls
all the shots. The fact that Satoshi is
anonymous pseudonymous is the reason why there is Bitcoin and
their shit coin. But, but to double down on his
idea of, you know, if you are Anonymous, you are a coward.
I got some, I got a bunch of a bunch of comments here, from
friends, and bitcoiners on Twitter to make our point for
us. And we will jump in and shouts
out the ghost of Mt C, wartime micro chatty, goes having the
right to decide to whom you disclose.
Your identity is crucial in an age of surveillance capitalism
and increasing totalitarianism. Not hard to understand.
So call him, whatever you like, if it helps you cope with being,
but It just won't be his real name.
So if you are reading between the lines, what is going on
here? And I have a really good thread
by svet ski that I put in the description for you guys.
If you really want to get into the Nuance.
What is happening? Here is dr.
Jordan Pederson is obviously getting he's getting, you know,
quote unquote, harassed online by Anand because he's having
very bad takes. And so by having a lot of bad
takes on the Internet, it's like a moth to the flame and people
will come out. Out of the Woodworks.
Yes, some people on Twitter on the internet on social media, do
act like keyboard Warriors. They do say things that they
would never say in real life but this does not negate the fact
that having people that are anonymous because of either
authoritarians, because of where they live, because of their jobs
being on the line because of their families and all the likes
of these different scenarios. People still need to be able to
speak the truth. And as that saying goes, I
forget whose Said it, but give a man, a mask and he will speak
the truth. And this is what's going on
guys. So as much as Jordan Pederson
has exposed himself to be a status and wants the state to
clamp down and stop Anonymous demon trolls from saying hurtful
words. On the internet as a big Corner,
we will double down and say that we need people to be anonymous.
We need people to have student on amenity.
We need people to have pen names because as LP Capital Chief says
anonymity is. Essential in the digital age,
particularly important in authoritarian regimes that you
speak out against often dr. Jordan Peterson also important
in the world of Bitcoin. I lost it tells you without it,
we all encounter unwarranted danger.
The only downside is mean words. And I said in the beginning,
guys. Remember when I wore the mask,
that was a time, when it wasn't me being afraid of what you guys
thought of me. It was more of me being like,
wow, am I really ready to put my Name my face on the chopping
block for this Bitcoin Revolution and I had a moment
where I realized the last thing I had was my face so I put it
all on the line so that we can have publicly facing bitcoiners
and we can have a non facing bitcoiners.
And again, to Double Down guys, being synonymous on the internet
is not a new thing as Gigi mentioned here.
Eric Arthur Blair would like to have a word with you dr.
Peterson. And if you don't know who Eric
Arthur Blair is, well, he is better known by by his pen name,
George Orwell. He wrote a very famous book,
called 1984, which Jordan Peterson quotes, and mentions a
lot as something that he wants to avoid.
And as McShane says, and I said in the beginning, this guy would
dock Satoshi if he could because of him being a quote, unquote
coward and let's just continue to go down this path.
As named CEO says talk about privileges Professor.
You're turning a blind eye to billion to live under
authoritarian regimes those in a Some relationships activist,
whistleblowers journalist and dictatorships to name a few
pseudonymity and privacy are important and just to Double
Down guys, we are Americans will a lot of us are American and
people who were cowards according to Jordan Pederson are
the founding fathers themselves. They literally put pen names on
the Declaration of Independence. So he's calling Thomas, Paine,
Alexander Hamilton James Madison, John, Jay Benjamin
Franklin coward because of Um, hiding behind their pen names,
be hiding in anonymity. Because guys, when you speak
truth to power, as we are seeing in this world right now, they
are afraid of the truth. And so they will do anything to
D platform you, they will do anything to get you fired.
They will do anything to mess your life up so that you are
afraid to speak the truth. And this is the importance of
speaking truth to power. And if you need to do that
behind an on account then, so be it, there needs to be Corners
facing publicly and there needs to be a non accounts and here I
have this fat ski thread. I'm not going to go into the
whole thing because it's a good long thread.
There's a bunch of nuance in here but there is one point that
I like to cover and he goes for a world in which cyberspace
exists. The absence of anonymity would
mean the end of Truth guys. Not everyone is willing to put
their neck on the line so they have to say it behind in a non
account and if you call him a coward, then I think you need to
reconsider Consider your perspective and as dr.
Jordan sit, Jordan Peterson himself said, something to
deeply consider re privacy in the corporate digital age.
And this is something we talk about all the time and this is
something that a bit Corners, like mad Odell, you know,
privacy Advocates, talk about all this time.
Privacy involves the choice of the individual to disclose or
reveal what he believes what he thinks, and what he possesses
again, I am reminded of that saying, give a man, a mass and
he will tell Truth and again to use, Gigi's words, the best.
Bitcoin needs, faceless voices faces, centralized true for
Bitcoin and true for Society at large calling names.
Cowards is ridiculous, especially if you are
well-versed in history and or paid any kind of attention to
what has been happening in the last three years.
Again, this is something we say all the time on the show and I
know this quote isn't even about Eric, their vote are quote, like
verbatim but we I say it all the time and is attributed to vote
are. I disapprove of what you say but
I will defend to the death. Your right to say it.
This is why we are free speech maximalist.
This is why we are free speech absolutist.
I believe that we need to have free speech in society, no
matter what. Because if we can't speak freely
on the internet in public life we will never get to the truth.
And as you guys can tell in this dystopian World, in this clown
world, that we are living in, It is becoming very hard to speak
your mind speak the truth because they will cancel you,
they will di platform you they will do anything in their power
to maintain the Monopoly on truth.
And if you are an average Bitcoin and average pleb out
there, you know you I'm reminded of that Bitcoin meme that is
from Fight Club. Like we run the node, we are
your waiters we are your janitors.
We are your tax. Accountants, we are the average
person in every day jobs and yes, a lot of us.
Families and responsibilities. And if you speak the truth, in a
lot of these sjw corporations, you may be losing out on a lot
more than just some mean words on the internet.
So if you're in a non out there, know that you are a part of the
fight know that not everyone can be like us and put their face
out there because hey we've put it all on the line but we don't
expect everyone else to do it because there are things that a
non can say that a publicly facing person can't say and this
is why being a non on. The internet is so important
because like we said in the beginning, whether you're in an
authoritarian country, whether you're in a dystopian country,
as a journalist, whether you're in an abusive relationship,
there are things that maybe you do not want to say attached to
your real identity, and this is not a new thing.
Pen names have been a thing for hundreds of years.
We have many authors out there that are respected to this day
that had to write under a pen name, to get the truth out.
So do not let Jordan Pederson. Call you coward, because this is
literally one of the most important aspects of free speech
right now. We are living in what looks like
a dystopian panopticon and they want to know everything about
you. So do your best to stand on.
Not, everyone can not be hidden behind an MF, Doom Mass cannot
show their face. And for you guys, this is why we
do what we do, we will be the brunt of the spear so that
people can understand the truth because it seems like, you know,
when you hide behind a bass people do not want to listen to
that message. Anyways, Rustin rant over.
What is your thoughts on this whole debacle from Jordan
Pederson? Obviously, we are bitcoiners.
And we understand the importance of anonymity of privacy of
having a student name or a pen name.
I mean, guys, I am Optimus field for a reason, like, you guys may
know my face, but you guys don't know everything about me.
And this is a feature, not a bug.
So, continue to do what you have to do.
It's not about working in the shadows.
It's about protecting yourself and your loved ones, man.
Super said, disappointed about JP and especially with what he's
saying. I'm thinking back to that
episode. It was about a three hour show
with Gigi John valise and a couple of others and how
mind-blown he was and how he talked about almost how
Immaculate Bitcoins Inception was and talking about the story
of Satoshi he did. I'm pretty sure he put a All
three hour episode, just into satoshi's.
So it's just like, what's going on, man.
He he preaches the importance of free speech, then does this, you
don't see the purpose of anonymous, anonymity or
pseudonymity in Canada when you're ruled by like a fascist
collectivist dictator who wanted to instill.
A caste system in your country. Come on man.
Like and then you see that Pole right there the The people have
spoken and the people have also spoken in Nigeria.
Beautiful. Yes guys.
Look someone's commenting on the Twitter space right now guys.
Yes we understand. There are people that are
keyboard Warriors but let's not lump everything into one, you
know, binary mode. Anonymity is important on the
internet. Yes, some people are assholes
out there, but if we are in a position where you have to be
completely kyc, to try to speak your mind on social, Media
platforms. Well, there goes truth.
You know, what's the saying throwing the baby out with the
bathwater guys? It may be, you know 20% of the
anons out there that are speaking truth to power and it
may be that 80% of the people are just being asshole keyboard,
Warriors that wouldn't say anything that they wouldn't say
in person. But to say that all anons are
cowards, I think you're missing the point, guys, as bitcoiners
as as someone that Lou, there we go.
Look here, On the screen with Poor Richard's Almanac Ben
Franklin. Awesome.
As bitcoiners someone also asked
how is he against Bitcoin will guys?
Bitcoin is a soon animus payment system which means your identity
is not attached. So if he's going down this path
of saying that freedom of speech, you know, that you as a
non should not have freedom of speech.
It's getting into a very dangerous dangerous territory as
we will cover in the CBC News, because they want to track.
And bag and control everything about you.
They want to know everything about you and as a native
digital persons I think we need to do our best to continue to
spread truth to continue to try to find ways to maintain your
privacy. Anyways, let's get into this new
segment and we can lay out our thesis more.
Let's go. The Daily News brought to you by
block stream. Jade built by bitcoiners for
bitcoiners. It's an open-source Hardware
wallet for the cold storage of Bitcoin block stream.
Jade houses a full-color camera allowing for fully are gaps.

block stream, Jade today and take self custody of your
Bitcoin. Reston.
You muted, you muted? Ah, I have this thing in front
of my mic button. Okay, perfect.
Alright, so here we go. We're going to get started today
to get rolling. We're going to begin with us
Senator John boozman. Again we talked about there's
Bitcoin and then there's everything else.
Now what's interesting here is that Senator boozman, any
hearing entitled, why Congress needs to act Lessons Learned
From the FDX collapse Lessons Learned From the guy who
financed our campaigns. That's beautiful.
That's wonderful. A little gaslighting there, but
Bitcoin, although a cryptocurrency is a commodity,
it is a commodity in the eyes of the federal courts and in the
opinion of the SEC, there was no dispute about this.
If there are exchanges where can Commodities are treated be a
tweet oil or Bitcoin, then they must be regulated.
He added that the CCC is the right agency to regulate the
digital Commodities, which include Bitcoin, but only one.
Okay. So you have the SEC chair.
Gary Gensler has said that Bitcoin is the only commodity
you have now just last week, Roston Benham headed, the cftc
has agreed with him and now you have Congress there as well.
So you have one commodity a bunch of unrest unregistered
Securities and how that's all going to play out will be
interesting but let's take a look in Nigeria.
Okay, the area has limited cash withdrawals to 45 dollars a day
and what they're doing is they're trying to limit this in
order to push in force people to use their digital and Nara in a
letter to Banks and other financial institutions.
Published Tuesday. The Central Bank of Nigeria
applied new limit on the over-the-counter withdrawals, at
just $225 per week. And 1123 for businesses.
Let's see. Taking cash out of ATMs will be
kept at forty five dollars a day, but only 45 sent notes and
smaller denominations being available.
So customers will still be able to take a larger sums but then
they're going to have to pay fees between 5 and 10%.
When their inflation is already, raging the move was justified in
the letter is being in line with the cashless policy of this ebn
Okay, so let's see. How's that in our do?
And it's looking good out there, isn't it?
The nro was launched in October, but less than point, five
percent of Nigerians are thought to be using it just like that
pulled their compare. This, to the estimates of the
percentage of residents, holding or trading cryptocurrencies,
which range from 27% to more than 50 percent despite Banning
crypto. That's advertising.
Okay, every time they crack down, that is a bigger mint.
So just to drive it home. Nigeria is CB D c-- fails to
pick up point five percent of residents.
Again, most residents have turned to crypto and Bitcoin is
a hedge against inflation in the wake of the deteriorating
economy. Alongside currency devaluation.
Let's get this one here. This is from 2020.
Okay, so two years ago, just so you get a little back story,
Nigeria is Bitcoin country. So among the top countries in
Q2, 2020, leading in peer-to-peer Bitcoin transaction
will trades on the African continent were Nigeria.
Thirty four point four million, South Africa, 15.2 Kenya 7.8.
Ganya Ghana 640,000 and a lot of good things.
Going on in Ghana this week. Okay, so lack of proper
financial services boost crypto ownership in Nigeria.
Again, we hit this all the time now, aside from that, there was
a coup coin report. In this goes back.
Let me see. This was April.
Yes, soku coin in April, a study released by The Exchange Jim and
I as well, a massive rise in global crypto investors in 2021
is coin. Telegraph reported India, Brazil
and Hong Kong witnessed the highest crypto adoption with
more than fifty percent of respondents.
Knowledge investing in cryptocurrencies.
Now what's interesting about almost every country listed here
we talked about Indonesia CBD. See Brazil, the UAE Singapore,
Israel, every single one of these nations.
Despite that what is going on with Bitcoin adoption?
It's rising, it's rising and now let's go to Russia again, just
like we were talking about The world needs Bitcoin more today,
even more than it did yesterday. Now Bank of Russia wants to ban
minors from selling crypto to Russians.
This is you know you're getting things coming from both sides
with Russia. One day.
It's where Putin Russia on a Bitcoin standard the next day
we've got this red red tape. So if the cryptocurrency
obtained as a result of mining can be sold exclusively using
for in infrastructure and only to non-residents the bank of
Russia's. Press office, reportedly said,
adding in general, we adhere to the position on the
inadmissibility of the circulation of digital currency
on the territory of the Russian Federation.
So this is very interesting because Just in Russia's head of
Congress finance committee, Bitcoin, and crypto products
will definitely be legal next year's.
So again, you have the banking bureaucracy of Russia, And then
some leaders of Russia, political leaders.
So you see the two game Theory's at play here, I want to remain
in power and make my constituents, happy the bank
wants to keep their privilege of printing money, right.
And here is the evidence, it's in Russian, I'm not going to
read it but that is the Congress.
Find the finance committee leader.
Now to round it out. So Russia, they're doing big
things, they have energy abundance.
If Europe were to say, We're just going to totally boycott
all Russian energy, similar to what they have done.
Will they have a surplus of energy?
They can directly monetize into Bitcoin through mining?
Now, this is probably the biggest story of the day we're
getting back into bank censorship and how Fiat is the
ultimate silent weapon of the state to control?
You Iran set to freeze bank accounts of women who refuse to
wear hijabs, a member of the Iranian Parliament has told
look. Media government plans to impose
new punishments on women who do not wear a hijab in public with
individuals who refuse to comply after two warnings, possibly
having their bank accounts. Frozen of interesting.
You had the major uprisings, but maybe they've decided okay,
violence won't work. But the panopticon's CBD.
See, we can shut down your bank account.
We can starve you. We can just totally push you out
of society. If they didn't have an Escape
Route. So, in the third stage, the big
bank account of the unveiled person, may be frozen.
This is going back again to the Prototype protest of the woman
named Massa, amini was arrested by the morality police for not
wearing a hijab and died in suspicious circumstances at a
hospital in Turan now. You know, we have police
brutality all over the world and things of that nature but this
is huge and there seems to be an Awakening in Iran and also we
know that Iran has been using Bitcoin to circumvent sanctions.
There's bigger Partnerships and energy with Russia and OPEC plus
what I'm trying to get at is at the end of the day, all these
places Iran, they have a way out and Michael sailor was hitting
on this, no force on Earth, can stop When the time has come and
I've got one quick clip for you guys and then we'll get to
getting discuss some of this with Opti here.
Bear with me, bear with me. I told you, I told you.
I told ya. Here we go.
You're gonna have to put it into tab.
It's coming. It's coming.
Here we go. Okay.
It is called me up from the minor leagues, guys, I'm going
to get there, we do this live. This is simply Bitcoin live.
All right, let's see. Let's see, Ruston.
All right, going to the tabs and then you can play your video.
It's not letting me take down the old video for some reason,
but how about send it to me? Can you send it to me real
quick? All right, we're doing this live
for you guys. Oh, there it is.
Okay, I think I've got us now. Okay.
Sorry guys. Wow, it's gonna be worth it.
It's gonna be worth it. Okay, here we go.
Justin. Boom none other than the great
doctor himself. Can you guys see that one?
We are live. Let's go the people know that
the system we have is not working.
It's not working economically. It's not working monetarily.
Our foreign policy is not working and therefore they're
looking for answers. They will not welcome us with
open arms. We found that out but there is a
vacuum out there in the vacuum is in not in one political
party. It is pervasive.
It's throughout the country and it's throughout the political
system. But our views are just as
pervasive ideas spread. They can't stop him and idea
whose Time Has Come cannot be stopped by any army or any
government. The people know let's go was
worth it. Oh man.
That one gets me every time love Ron Paul.
That's why I like personally learn about Bitcoin, you know in
2008-2009. So when I sat down I finally
knew what the hell I was looking at a few years ago.
Thanks to the sound money principles, but we can look good
things happening in the US as Hopefully this Crackdown on all
the unregistered Securities that are getting people wrecked and
destroyed, that may come to a halt or at least have better
things in place with more emphasis on bitcoin and its
benefit to the people. I ran the women of Iran need
Bitcoin, the people of Nigeria, and everyone on the African
continent need Bitcoin. And it's working its way in and
it's growing and it's steadily doing what Bitcoin does.
And I was just thinking about, we did the Buckminster Fuller
video yesterday, and one thing Buckminster Fuller said is
you're not going to be able to change the minds of people or to
get them to think a different way entirely.
But what you can do is you can give them a tool and they can
learn to use that tool to benefit themselves.
Just like Beauty on said, you put that ethical Bitcoin wallet
that to Love Freedom into Someone's hands and they learn
to use it. You just empowered a new
sovereign individual that you know, like we talked about once
you see Bitcoin, once you use it, once you understand,
Austrian economics and everything involved with Bitcoin
here in some ways, no one's an absolute master, we're all down
the rabbit hole but you see the significance and its impact it
can have on society Humanity, all across the board.
I mean we're well on our way. Beautiful, beautiful.
Well, I say it all the time, on this show, Bitcoin is needed now
more than ever and the more we cover the news.
The more it's becoming clear to me.
That what we do here is Bitcoin is what we do here is freedom of
speech, Max's, freedom of speech, the premises that this
is the fight of Our Lives time guy.
Like, I couldn't think of anything more noble than to be
out here. Trying to spread Bitcoin, trying
to spread Ed freedom of Truth or freedom of speech so that we can
actually conversate about truth because if you do not see the
connection between wanting to stop an on accounts on social
media Platforms in a cbgc, well, the connection is very clear
guys. Big Tech has, you know, been
intertwined with government. They are, we are essentially
living in a fascist world where big Tech can control everything
about you. And if they have the power to D
platform, you just wait till you give them the power over your
money completely. And they already have the power
over the Fiat system, but we have Bitcoin and Bitcoin has
thrown a wrench in their plan. So the powers-that-be, say it
all the time, want to control everything about you.
Whether it's the way you think whether it is your behavior,
whether it is who you transact with, they want you to own
nothing and be happy. And furthermore like Rustin
pointed out, it's very, very fitting that, you know, we
covered the strike news yesterday about About them.
You know, it going global in parts of Africa and one of the
countries being Nigeria and then literally later in that day,
they came out with the news of capping ATM.
Withdrawals of capping over-the-counter money, cash
withdrawals and it's almost like Bitcoin and even strike as a
company is terrifying. The central bank's of Nigeria,
you know, it's very interesting that the only way that Syria
that a government can push for a bid for their CBD.
See is by pure coercion. This is what we tell you guys.
Every single day, Bitcoin is an opt-in system.
No one coerces you to save in a money that is designed to steal
from you, Bitcoin fights, the basement, 21 million hard cap.
And as we're seeing in real time, people literally do not
want to use a CB D c--, unless they are forced to.
And again, if you do not see the connection between being the
platform between the Fight for freedom of speech and then the
control over who you can send your money to and whether you
can save in that money, then you need to really look at yourself
in the mirror and realize what is going on out in the world.
The world does not want you to act freely.
They do not want to conversate freely, they want a monopoly on
truth. Remember what now you boo?
Kelly wrote in that Bitcoin magazine.
Article titled, do not drink the elite Kool-Aid.
The powers that be have the Monopoly on truth and they will
do anything. The power to maintain that
Monopoly and then just on that like, Russia news.
It sounds like they're capitulating, you know, mining
good. But citizens are not allowed to
sell within the nation. You know, on the one hand, we
are going to legalize Bitcoin. On the other hand, we're going
to ban it within our citizens. It's almost like the central
banks do not want, what is it best for their citizens and then
the, the Iran hijab news like that.
That man, this is why we need a soon animus.
Network. This is why we need a neutral
money. That is a political That No One
controls because it's a very simple proposition.
That's what, like you're hitting on that big time out to any
individual, no matter where you are, no matter what your
preference, beliefs or ideas are Bitcoin protects you against the
Tyranny. It's a very simple proposition.
No one should be in control of the money.
Opt-out saving Bitcoin, and take back your power amazing amazing.
Alright let's get into everyone. Favorite moment.
Everyone's favorite segment of the day, let's bring it back.
Let's get a little more light and get to that mean review.
The daily meme review brought to you by Kaboom racks.
I get this question all the time.
Nico. Where should I buy Bitcoin
miners. The answer is Kaboom racks.
It's the best place to buy Bitcoin miners.
That's where you're going to find the best deals and the best
prices start. Your mining Utopia today to
check out their racks. You got to go to T dot me, slash
Kaboom racks. Join their telegram group and

Kaboom. Alright guys, this is the memory
of you and you guys are the Frontline soldiers.
You guys are the Frontline Warriors tweets or the bullets
and memes are the artillery continue to ridicule.
The state has continued to ridicule these Central planners
continue to make them Funnies and get that truth out there
because it is our mean world. And everyone else is just living
in it. And of course, guys, drop.
Oh, oh! Forgive me for the work in the
background. Drop your mean review score in
the chat when we are done. Done.
So that we can cover it on the show.
So, the first one, as you can tell, everyone was up in arms
this morning on the Jordan Pederson news.
So, shots out the toxic at 27 and this is the Enlighten meme,
you know, the light in the brain, the first one privacy is
the ability to choose when you reveal yourself and then, you
know, the neuron start blowing up in your brain, anonymity
allows for questioning, the status quo, and then more and
more Enlightenment, privacy is a prerequisite to wealth creation
and then pure. Sentence anonymity is the
greatest form of privacy, allowing one to speak freely
without the fear of repercussion.
This is what we talked about consistently and one of the one
of the best anons on Twitter. Gigi, you know, the man in the
green suit himself, he basically made this mean but chair Force.
Put it into one mean with Dorian Nakamoto drinking a coffee cup
of Bitcoin. And goes we wouldn't have much
signal in the last three years without an ons and Nims.
Changed my mind. Absolutely.
Agree. I remember at one time, I was in
a non and then I made that that very, very stupid decision.
Showing you guys all my face and now you guys told me every
single day. Anyway, this next one is by Lena
see Shane she goes, he's a hard learn, we have two little hard
lers, non Bitcoin halogen knows the market is terrible.
How can he be so relaxed? And you see this Bitcoin her in
the cloud with rainbows houghtaling is Bitcoin and we
got coordinated government attacks at the it's Here we got
coordinated media, attacks and other media.
And we got inflation going up and money's burning and
fractional Reserve, exchanges blowing up and lending and the
Bitcoin prices in the dumps and public.
Really perception of Bitcoin is at an all-time low right now but
he's a hard learned, he knows why you hog V.
Once you know why that is following is easy.
Anyways, this next one, shouts out the GG.
Let's mer. This one's for all you guys that
are still stacking, you know, chef Out to the 20 21, 20 22
Bitcoin plebs out there because you are earning your stripes and
it's been a bloody bear Market. But I really like this Meme and
it's, I think this is what is this like Mayan or Aztec
buildings of walls, and they the, the Rocks.
Just have a way of being so precise, and their Mega, huge UT
excels. And if you guys know, if you
guys, well, I guess bit but went down, but remember what?
They call a Bitcoin, the time, chain a blockchain, and these
are all the transactions. I forget what the visual is to
show is transaction. But anyway, we got 2022 plebs
daily DC, a transaction. You can see the little
itty-bitty humans under your transactions year 2150,
archaeologist looking at your UT EXO's today in all because what
you stack today in 100 plus years will be monstrosity is, if
you are able to handle them, this next one is Mohegan BTC, he
goes all of us right now. Hashtag BTC.
And it's a man. And his wife, and the wife goes,
are you counting down to Christmas?
And he goes, no, I'm counting down to the Bitcoin.
Having I think this is all of us right now.
Just just survive until the having guys.
This is what we're all trying to do.
When Bull Run. It's supposedly going to start
December 23rd. Anyways, this next one is by
Captain Bitcoin Captain BC 12:23 and he goes need and Want
hashtag Bitcoin and we got a need Circle and you gotta want
Circle, and we got a person, pushing the want into the knee,
and we got a vesica Pisces and then they morph into one thing
which is Bitcoin. Not only do you need it.
Not only do you want it, but you need both of those because in
this world, like we keep telling you guys, it is becoming more
and more obvious that we need Bitcoin now more than ever.
And this next one, of course, sometimes the memes are more
just screenshots and Screen grabs of the Past.
And here we got Vivid for real, with a legendary, screengrab and
shouts out to this guy is a tweet.
It goes tipping Ian and he goes, I don't even care about profit
in Bitcoin. I just want to see the
government and Banks pissed himself, and look at the date.

site the other day and I wanted to put on this show because I
know you guys are seeing that flood attack.
Excuse me, that coordinated fight against bitcoiners and
saying that we need to change our code because we need to
ensure that Bitcoin. Green and we can save planet
Earth and all its energy use. Well, I got this really good
website and it is not on my node dot Bitcoin reserve.com and as
you can see it says change the code not on my node.
You heard people say Bitcoin is bad for the environment but did
you know computer games and Christmas lights consume the
same amount of an energy. So here's a good website that
you can start to Shell to your friends and family out that
there, when they come at you, with energy fun.
And as we've shown Own consistently on this show.
Bitcoin is incentivizing the use of energy efficiently.
Bitcoin will free humanity and unlock human potential out
there. So do not fall for the Fudd.
We will not change the code because I am not running that
code on my no proof of work is the invention here and this is
