1
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:20,130
Yeah, welcome to Simply Bitcoin 
Live. 

2
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:22,490
That was a tongue twister. 
We are your number one source 

3
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:23,930
for the peaceful Bitcoin 
revolution. 

4
00:00:23,930 --> 00:00:25,370
Code breaking news culture, 
Matic Warfare. 

5
00:00:25,370 --> 00:00:28,290
We will be your guide through 
the separation of money and 

6
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:30,130
state. 
It's the Friday show. 

7
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:32,970
Super excited. 
Oh man, it's been, it's been 

8
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:35,530
quite a week. 
We're going to start, we're 

9
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:37,450
going to end it with some 
bullish news. 

10
00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:40,610
Michael Saylor is going 
absolutely ham. 

11
00:00:40,610 --> 00:00:43,850
We we know that this week he 
announced that he was going to 

12
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:49,610
sell 750 dollars, $750 million 
worth of micro strategy stock to

13
00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:54,090
stack more Bitcoin then he's 
going also on CNNBC. 

14
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:57,450
So basically say that there's a 
universal consensus that Bitcoin

15
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:00,050
is winning, right. 
It's a decentralized global 

16
00:01:00,050 --> 00:01:03,530
asset has no issuer the digital 
gold standard of digital 

17
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:06,010
commodities. 
Michael Saylor is going full 

18
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:08,450
balls to the wall. 
And. 

19
00:01:08,450 --> 00:01:11,490
And again, if it was just 
Michael Saylor by by himself, 

20
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:12,690
you know, it'd be a different 
story. 

21
00:01:12,690 --> 00:01:16,450
But you also have Larry Fink 
speaking wonders about Bitcoin 

22
00:01:16,450 --> 00:01:19,690
also on legacy corporate 
financial media as well. 

23
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:22,460
This is a crazy time to be 
alive. 

24
00:01:22,460 --> 00:01:25,140
I could have never have expected
this five years ago. 

25
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,780
I can't even imagine where we're
going to be 5 years from now. 

26
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:33,100
I think we're going to see, you 
know, a lot of Fortune 500 CEO's

27
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:36,940
have no choice but to put 
Bitcoin on their balance sheet. 

28
00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:40,300
I really think that this next 
cycle and the the cycle after 

29
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,940
that, you're going to see this 
massive wave of global adoption.

30
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:48,060
So I could not be more bullish. 
All the stars are lining. 

31
00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:51,300
But at the same time, while all 
this is happening, you know, on 

32
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,780
the political front like we 
covered yesterday or the day 

33
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:59,100
before, it's all kind of mixes 
together these days. 

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,480
We were talking about the 
Senator Cynthia alumnus and the 

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,760
Senator Warren bill. 
And you know, the wording in 

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,639
that bill was, was very 
troubling, right? 

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:16,920
You had this idea of of KYC 
minors, KYC wallet providers, 

38
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,120
KYC validators like how is that 
even possible? 

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,360
How is that even enforceable? 
We had the CEO of Start 9 

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,800
yesterday. 
You know, they make some of the 

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,440
best Bitcoin nodes in the 
business. 

42
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:28,330
And he was literally saying it, 
right? 

43
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:29,610
He's like that. 
That's that's impossible. 

44
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:32,050
They're not going to be able to 
do this, but it doesn't mean 

45
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:34,530
they're not going to try, right.
So just because of all this 

46
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:38,370
bullish news that's happening, 
you know, don't put your defense

47
00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:40,410
down. 
This has never been a better 

48
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:42,610
time to learn how to take self 
custody. 

49
00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:46,330
You know, write down your seed 
phrase, put it on titanium with 

50
00:02:46,330 --> 00:02:52,540
the seed, the seed plate, and 
yeah, you know, do do do 

51
00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:54,940
yourself a favor and learn how 
to take self custody. 

52
00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:56,940
If you don't know how to do so, 
check out BTZ sessions. 

53
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:00,860
He has a he has some awesome, 
awesome tutorials. 

54
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:05,700
All right, Opti, here we go. 
Let's do this, man. 

55
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:07,740
Let's do this. 
What's up? 

56
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,540
What's up everyone? 
I'm choking on words. 

57
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:13,260
I'm like miss. 
Well, hashtag Nico can't speak 

58
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:14,380
English. 
We already know this. 

59
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:17,180
It's stamp seed. 
Put your shit on titanium. 

60
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:18,820
But like, I don't know. 
I don't know what's wrong with 

61
00:03:18,820 --> 00:03:19,660
me today bro. 
It's. 

62
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,860
It's a Friday. 
You didn't have enough coffee. 

63
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:24,860
Like I'm like literally shaking 
because I'm too much coffee 

64
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,180
today. 
I didn't drink enough water this

65
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,740
morning. 
But hey man, we're here. 

66
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:31,220
It's the Friday show. 
We made it another week. 

67
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:33,820
I have lost the math. 
I don't remember what week we 

68
00:03:33,820 --> 00:03:35,660

So you guys can Fact Check me 

69
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:37,500
What week out of the year? 
Are we? 

70

That's what. 
We're down. 

72
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,420
Anyways, Yellow, quit trolling 
me in the chat. 

73
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:48,420
How do you want me to put your 
meme on the show and you're 

74
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:51,500
trolling me on the chat? 
That's some titanium SMR, bro. 

75
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:55,220
Anyways, anyways, Nico, before 
people say that we're too 

76

have an awesome guest today, 

77
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:04,220
Bert from Bitcoin Brabant. 
I think I said that wrongly but.

78
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Bitcoin miner that uses the 
excess heat from the Asex to 

79
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040

So so, Abdi, why don't you tell

00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,840
how do I say your company again 
cuz I budget. 

101
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,600
But that's. 
A big problem, OK? 

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,480
And he's a Bitcoin miner that 
uses the excess heat to heat up 

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,400
your business. 
And we have a really cool, 

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880
really cool example of this and 
we're gonna go down his rabbit. 

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Whole story. 
And. 

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,600
And we'll talk about all that 
stuff during the culture. 

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,200
So you guys already know the 
deal. 

108
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,240
Yeah, it's gonna be an awesome. 
It's gonna be an awesome show. 

109
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Guys looking forward to it. 
Let's do this. 

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Let's head straight into the 
numbers, the Bitcoin numbers. 

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,640
Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
really secure? 

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320
Is your seed phrase really 
secure? 

113
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,000
Stamp seeds? 
Do it yourself. 

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Kit has everything you need to 
hammer your seed words into 

115
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,000
commercial grade titanium plates
instead of just writing them on 

116
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800
paper. 
Don't store your generational 

117
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,050
wealth on paper. 
Papers prone to water damage, 

118
00:06:04,050 --> 00:06:06,050
fire damage. 
You want to put your 

119
00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:09,170
generational wealth on one of 
the strongest metals on planet 

120
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:11,970
earth, Titanium. 
Your words are actually stamped 

121
00:06:11,970 --> 00:06:15,570
into this metal plate with this 
hammer and these letter stamps. 

122
00:06:15,610 --> 00:06:18,130
And once your words are in, they
aren't going anywhere. 

123
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:21,850
No risk of the plate breaking 
apart and pieces falling 

124
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:24,290
everywhere. 
Titanium stamp seeds will 

125
00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:27,250
survive nearly triple the heat 
produced by a house fire. 

126
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:30,410
They're also crush proof, 
waterproof, non corrosive, and 

127
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,410
time proof. 
All things that paper is not. 

128
00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:35,890
Not allowing you to huddle your 
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for 

129
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:39,330
the long haul. 
Stamp your seed on Stamp Seed 

130
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:41,410
guys. 
You don't want to find yourself 

131
00:06:41,410 --> 00:06:44,250
in a situation where you have to
explain to your grandchildren 

132
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:46,770
why you lost your generational 
wealth because you didn't 

133
00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:50,730
properly secure your Bitcoin 
wallet backup seed words, so you

134
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:53,730
want to put them on titanium. 
You can scan the QR code on your

135
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:56,330
screen right now and it'll take 
you directly to the Titanium 

136
00:06:56,330 --> 00:07:01,900
Seed Phrase Storage Kit from 
Stamp Seed and you can you know 

137
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:03,940
you could purchase one so you 
don't have to explain this to 

138
00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:05,540
your grandchildren why you lost 
your seed. 

139
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,060
Anyways, at the time of 
recording the Bitcoin price is

interesting video for for you 

146
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,080
guys from Adam back and shout 
out to documenting Bitcoin which

147
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,440
does an incredible job 
documenting Bitcoin. 

148
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,040
So they say six years ago today 
Bitcoin proved itself as a 

149
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,840
decentralized system no one 
controls. 

150
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Listen to Adam Back explain so 
let's check it out. 

151
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,710
You know, in the sig with 2X and
episode, the people in the 

152
00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:06,950
companies that were trying to 
organize to push Bitcoin into a 

153
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:11,550
kind of bigger block, more 
retail payment direction, spent 

154
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:14,270
a lot of effort lobbying minors 
with the idea that the miners 

155
00:08:14,270 --> 00:08:16,750
were decision makers. 
But it turns out the miners were

156
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:20,230
basically powerless and 
immediately switched networks 

157
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:22,430
just just for simple economic 
reasons. 

158
00:08:22,470 --> 00:08:27,750
And so I think the combined 
learning for everybody that the 

159
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:31,830
the end users with the economic 
voting, you know that they would

160
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:35,390
sell the fork. 
They would short us the the 

161
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:41,230
future and that the miners were 
basically not politically active

162
00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:43,070
in any way. 
They would just mind whatever's 

163
00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:46,830
more profitable meant that it 
was kind of a landslide victory 

164
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:50,910
for people who wanted to keep 
Bitcoin as a user controlled and

165
00:08:50,910 --> 00:08:55,040
earned currency. 
And so the the fact that that 

166
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,880
worked was extremely positive. 
So as Jacomo said that, you 

167
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,360
know, people were nervous 
before, but when it was a 

168
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,680
victory and it was a genuine 
grassroots victory, which showed

169
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:08,240
that the developers had 
essentially no control, the 

170
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,120
large companies had no control 
and the miners had no control. 

171
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,640
So it's basically a perfect 
storm and Bitcoin came out the 

172
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,800
other side completely unscathed.
So people view that as a very 

173
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,340
interesting, a positive lesson 
about the sort of long term 

174
00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:25,140
store of value capability of 
Bitcoin, because basically all 

175
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:29,020
the forces that could be 
potentially aligned against the 

176
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:32,380
user's interest to keep Bitcoin 
permissionless and decentralized

177
00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:36,460
tried their best to coordinate 
and completely failed in the 

178
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:38,940
market. 
So I think that was instructive 

179
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:41,580
to everybody because people were
kind of nervous or unsure at 

180
00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:43,180
different levels of 
understanding about the game 

181
00:09:43,180 --> 00:09:45,940
theory. 
But it turns out that basically 

182
00:09:46,340 --> 00:09:48,420
it's not possible to change 
Bitcoin. 

183
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,880
If you have your own private 
keys and you wouldn't accept the

184
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,880
transaction that's not verified 
by your full node, then other 

185
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,840
people out in the world can do 
whatever they want. 

186
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,280
They can mine other things. 
They can make arguments, they 

187
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,960
can change your software, their 
exchange runs. 

188
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400
But ultimately you're still 
going to have Bitcoin and 

189
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,040
nobody, nobody external to you 
can change that fact. 

190
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,160
So that that fact was not 
understood. 

191
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,360
And I think that's also very 
positive since then that there's

192
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,520
been a lot of interest in 
adopting full nodes. 

193
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,360
So I look, I think Adam Back 
perfectly described, you know 

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960
the four cores and the 
significance of the four cores, 

195
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,720
what happened during the four 
cores and yeah, it's it's a 

196
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,000
testament to what makes Bitcoin 
unique, right. 

197
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,080
You had the largest, the the 
largest minor bit main try to 

198
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,120
team up with some of the largest
companies and they were trying 

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,000
to change for bigger blocks and 
that would have centralized the 

200
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,830
network in the process. 
Because bigger blocks means more

201
00:10:47,830 --> 00:10:50,550
resource requirements in order 
to run a node, more resource 

202
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:53,350
requirements to run a node, 
meaning less people can run a 

203
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:56,190
node because it becomes 
economically infeasible for a 

204
00:10:56,190 --> 00:10:59,950
lot of people, right? 
You know, the block size are the

205
00:10:59,950 --> 00:11:02,750
way they are by design. 
It's a feature, not a bug. 

206
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:06,990
Decentralization above all. 
And the fork wars, you know, not

207
00:11:06,990 --> 00:11:10,030
only did it not kill Bitcoin, it
made Bitcoin stronger, right? 

208
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,320
And so that happened. 
That wasn't 20, those 20/17/2018

209
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,800
if my memory serves me 
correctly. 

210
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,320
And those are some scary times. 
I remember that they 

211
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,800
artificially made the Bitcoin 
cash hash rate surpass bitcoins 

212
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,880
hash rate for I think two or 
three times depending on the, 

213
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720
you know, hash rate metric that 
you're using. 

214
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,120
But a couple years after that, 
we had the China ban during the 

215
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,270
2021 bull market. 
And you know, both those things,

216
00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:43,390
both those events were attacks 
on Bitcoin, make no mistake. 

217
00:11:43,390 --> 00:11:49,990
And what inevitably what it what
was the inevitable outcome of 

218
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:52,830
both those things? 
Inevitable in hindsight, but 

219
00:11:52,830 --> 00:11:54,830
when you're living through it, 
it's actually pretty freaking 

220
00:11:54,830 --> 00:11:57,710
scary cuz you don't know. 
It's never happened before in a 

221
00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:03,020
historical context. 
But the the outcome of that, it 

222
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:05,780
was what doesn't kill the honey 
badger makes it stronger, right?

223
00:12:05,780 --> 00:12:09,260
The hash rate decentralized. 
In the process, it proved that 

224
00:12:09,260 --> 00:12:13,060
it's not the miners who own the 
network or run the network. 

225
00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:15,140
They're just paid security 
guards. 

226
00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:18,140
Who's really running the network
are the nodes, right? 

227
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:22,220
This is why it's so important. 
Run your own node. 

228
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:25,140
If you don't want to build one, 
you could buy a prebuilt one. 

229
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:28,060
Start nine is dope. 
Not all is dope. 

230
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:32,750
There's so many, you know, 
there's so many companies that 

231
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:36,590
you can check out if you want a 
prebuilt node or you could just 

232
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:39,550
build one yourself. 
And when I say node, you can run

233
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:42,590
Bitcoin Core on an old computer 
that you're not using, right. 

234
00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:45,350
You don't have to have a 
dedicated device that's always 

235
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:48,270
on right? 
Even though that would be the 

236
00:12:48,270 --> 00:12:53,680
ideal case. 
So anyways, Opti, what's your 

237
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:57,400
take on this bro? 
Like, I love the way he 

238
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,440
explained. 
It sounded super smart. 

239
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,960
I couldn't. 
I don't think I could. 

240
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760
I could have explained. 
I could have articulated it. 

241
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,720
The Fork Wars that well, No, 
highly regarded. 

242
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,680
He didn't even call the He 
didn't even call it the Fork 

243
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,000
wars. 
He called it the SegWit 2X event

244
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,800
or something. 
Yeah, I mean, well look, This is

245
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,560
why we tell you guys constantly 
on the show to run a node like 

246
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,880
This is why we Bitcoin. 
Like This is why Bitcoin is 

247
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,400
money for the people by the 
people. 

248
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,360
As because you guys run a node, 
you verify your own 

249
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,680
transactions, don't trust 
someone else with your money, 

250
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,760
run a node, verify your own 
transactions like minors and big

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600
businesses and big holders do 
not hold more sway than you on 

252
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,680
the Bitcoin network. 
If you haven't, you know any 

253
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,800
economic transaction as long as 
you're running a node. 

254
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,840
You are also verifying the rules
of the network. 

255
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,640
So like Bitcoin, this is the 
reason why Bitcoin is the only 

256
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320
decentralized and the most 
decentralized currency in the 

257
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,200
world is because of all you guys
out there running nodes and 

258
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,920
continue to run nodes and like 
we say all the time, you know 

259
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920
you can buy a standalone node or
just download Bitcoin core like 

260
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,800
simply on an old computer. 
You don't have to do anything 

261
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,590
fancy. 
If you don't have the the means 

262
00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:07,310
to get your own standalone node,
like there's options for 

263
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:11,070
everyone. 
Every person's need can be fixed

264
00:14:11,070 --> 00:14:13,630
or or addressed. 
Yeah, there you go. 

265
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:16,990
Raspberry Pi, like everyone, can
be addressed by running a 

266
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:20,190
Bitcoin node and you don't have 
to trust people like this is 

267
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:22,470
literally why Bitcoin was 
created in the 1st place. 

268
00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:27,880
So you know, like it it's. 
It's a it's a hurdle that 

269
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,880
everyone I think should do. 
But hey, if your family doesn't 

270
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,200
feel technical, be their Uncle 
Jim so they can verify off your 

271
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,000
own note. 
Like there's a lot of things. 

272
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:39,420
To continue to decentralize the 
network. 

273
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,020
And I came after the Segue 2X 
battle. 

274
00:14:42,220 --> 00:14:43,740
I came in like a month after 
this. 

275
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:47,540
So I I I came in once the dust 
settled and it was so unnerving 

276
00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:48,940
at the time. 
I'm like, wait, which one is the

277
00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:50,500
real Bitcoin? 
But now what? 

278
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:53,140
Six years later, it's become 
very obvious which one's which 

279
00:14:53,140 --> 00:14:55,820
and which one is the the one 
with the most economic power. 

280
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:58,540
But hey, we have Bert here, and 
he's a Bitcoin miner as well. 

281
00:14:58,540 --> 00:15:00,700
So what's your thoughts on this,
Bert? 

282
00:15:01,340 --> 00:15:04,660
And Node Runner as you could. 
And Node runner exactly. 

283
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,250
It's one of the notes that's 
currently not working. 

284
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:14,210
But yeah, so I also came in 
quite far after the The Four 

285
00:15:14,210 --> 00:15:17,250
Wars. 
So if you want to know about it,

286
00:15:17,330 --> 00:15:22,730
read Jonathan Beer's book Block 
Size War. 

287
00:15:22,890 --> 00:15:29,330
That's that's amazing book. 
But yeah, so I came in in 2019 

288
00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:34,170
because I actually was exposed 
to Bitcoin already in 14 I've 

289
00:15:34,170 --> 00:15:36,310
got. 
Even screenshots of the messages

290
00:15:36,310 --> 00:15:39,630
where we talked with friends 
about mining and a lot of things

291
00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:42,430
but I yeah, I didn't believe it 
would survive. 

292
00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:47,790
So and even at work and the 
previous work we we talked a lot

293
00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:51,070
about it. 
But I wasn't expecting it to to 

294
00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:53,510
last. 
And then in 2019 I dipped in a 

295
00:15:53,510 --> 00:15:58,950
little bit and then basically 
two years full time I had to 

296
00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:00,670
know everything about it. 
And then then. 

297
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:05,990
In 2021, I started mining a bit,
so heating my home a lot of 

298
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:08,470
noise. 
So I had to cancel the noise out

299
00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:10,790
to start to build boxes to 
dampen the noise. 

300
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:15,510
And then in last year I started 
to mine at the greenhouse. 

301
00:16:15,830 --> 00:16:19,070
I made a little video of it, 
posted it on Twitter and got 

302
00:16:19,070 --> 00:16:22,750
half a million views. 
And then yeah, I had a company, 

303
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:25,270
so that's basically the story, 
so. 

304
00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:29,590
It was a really nice couple of 
years and now full time in 

305
00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:32,390
Bitcoin already for more than 1 
1/2 year. 

306
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:34,790
Awesome man. 
Well that's awesome. 

307
00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:40,070
Let me ask you something cuz you
went full time Bitcoin Opti and 

308
00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:41,870
I went through the same process 
as well. 

309
00:16:43,830 --> 00:16:49,710
It's I'm sure, at least in my 
case, it was definitely a bit of

310
00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:52,270
a grind, right? 
It was not a. 

311
00:16:52,350 --> 00:16:58,780
Still is That is very true. 
But I guess working up to full 

312
00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:01,540
time Bitcoin, like working full 
time in Bitcoin. 

313
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:06,339
I think that a lot of people 
want that, but I think that a 

314
00:17:06,339 --> 00:17:10,300
lot of people don't understand 
the grind and commitment and 

315
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,660
passion that that is required in
order to achieve that. 

316
00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:17,660
Yeah, and a very minimalistic 
lifestyle. 

317
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:22,460
So if you don't have cost then 
it's OK, you know, so if there's

318
00:17:22,460 --> 00:17:28,380
not much income. 
And also if you look back, yeah,

319
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:30,300
mining. 
So last year I did 18 

320
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:34,380
installations at businesses. 
So also some homes, but mostly 

321
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:37,140
businesses. 
So placing heaters at the 

322
00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:40,540
warehouse or a restaurant or all
kinds of places. 

323
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:43,220
And the greenhouse is the most 
famous. 

324
00:17:43,220 --> 00:17:47,820
So that's why Bitcoin Bloom is 
always, yeah, quite. 

325
00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:51,610
In the mind of people, because 
it's tulips and Tulip bulbs, so 

326
00:17:51,610 --> 00:17:55,210
that, yeah, that's easy to think
of. 

327
00:17:55,210 --> 00:17:58,570
What is actually being grown 
there and we shipped it last 

328
00:17:58,570 --> 00:18:00,210
year and this year we will do 
the same again. 

329
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:03,570
When we finished drying the 
Tulip bulbs, we will ship them 

330
00:18:03,570 --> 00:18:07,530
again for Bitcoin. 
But yeah, a lot of businesses 

331
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:10,210
last year, but that was also 
because the natural gas prices 

332
00:18:10,210 --> 00:18:13,410
exploded in Europe and now they 
have normalized again. 

333
00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:20,590
So heating with miners is again.
Not as profitable as it was last

334
00:18:20,590 --> 00:18:23,350
year. 
And the nice thing is now it's 

335
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:27,710
slowly shifting towards load 
balancing and spare capacity 

336
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:32,510
mining because there was such a 
huge solar expansion here that 

337
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:35,710
we have a lot of moments where 
you get paid to use electricity 

338
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:38,430
and also that we have problems 
with the net. 

339
00:18:38,430 --> 00:18:42,350
So basically the transformer's 
going down. 

340
00:18:42,940 --> 00:18:45,660
And then we can use some minors 
to keep the grid balanced and 

341
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:47,900
also use some excess 
electricity. 

342
00:18:48,180 --> 00:18:49,380
And we do that with all 
machines. 

343
00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:51,140
So as you can see here, there's 
nines. 

344
00:18:51,580 --> 00:18:54,500
We just refurbish them a bit or 
make them silent wherever people

345
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,780
want to put them and then throw 
them in. 

346
00:18:57,020 --> 00:19:02,140
And it's just, yeah, basically 
on electricity that you either 

347
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:05,100
paid for or you need the heat or
these kind of things. 

348
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:09,460
So cheap machines and 
decentralizing Bitcoin, that's 

349
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:13,310
the most important. 
Yeah, very, very cool. 

350
00:19:13,390 --> 00:19:14,990
Very, very cool. 
All right, everybody. 

351
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:20,910
Before we move on to the Daily 
News, I want to give a shout out

we'll be excited to see you 
guys. 

364
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:57,420
Anyways, everybody, no more 
delay. 

365
00:19:57,420 --> 00:19:58,820
Let's jump straight into the 
news. 

366
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:07,580
The Daily News. 
All right guys, I want to tell 

367
00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:10,460
you about the Orange Pilap. 
They are building the social 

368
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,940
layer for Bitcoin. 
The Bitcoin circular economy is 

369
00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:15,460
coming, and this is where it 
starts within real life 

370
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:17,460
connections. 
Find other bitcoiners who live 

371
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:21,100
close to you, find plebs while 
you're traveling, or find nearby

372
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:23,820
Bitcoin events. 
Plus, Orange Pilap recently 

373
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:27,140
enabled Zaps, and you could ZAP 
your friends or ZAP events to 

374
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:29,540
help with the cost to organize 
your next Bitcoin meet up. 

375
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:32,340
There will be a time in the not 
too distant future where the 

376
00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:34,740
most sought after demographic 
will be Bitcoiners. 

377
00:20:34,740 --> 00:20:37,060
Principals. 
The principled, devoted, 

378
00:20:37,060 --> 00:20:39,860
patient, diverse, and loyal 
individuals who are the 

379
00:20:39,860 --> 00:20:43,700
wealthiest single demographic 
stack friends who stack Sats. 

380
00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:47,860
Scan the QR code on your screen 
right now and when you sign up 

381
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:51,500
you'll get 10,000 Sats. 
And of course Opti and I 

382
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,620
appreciate all the love and 
messages that we're getting on 

383
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,900
the Orange Pill app. 
We appreciate you guys anyways. 

384
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,960
The big news for today Again, 
Michael Saylor just going 

385
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:04,280
scorched earth on CNNBC. 
Here's a clip of him. 

386
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Here's Bitcoin Archive, who does
a great job archiving Bitcoin 

387
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120
and he says Michael Saylor on 
CNNBC. 

388
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:14,360
There is no there is universal 
consensus around the world that 

389
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,960
Bitcoin is a decentralized 
global asset that has value, has

390
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,040
no issuer, and is the global 
standard of digital commodities,

391
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280
right. 
So while he's saying that, 

392
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,320
Michael Saylor is also tweeting 
this, right? 

393
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,680
So he's flexing his muscle and 
he's basically saying like, 

394
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,560
look, this is our strategy. 
Look at how our strategy house 

395
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,680
performs basically everybody 
else. 

396
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,760
And for audio listeners, this is
a graphic. 

397
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,120
It says MicroStrategy outperform
since outperformance since 

398
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,760
adoption of Bitcoin Standard. 
And it has comparisons, right? 

399
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,640
It has Oracle, has IBM right, 
has Google, Apple, Microsoft, 

400
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Meta. 
Also known as Facebook, Netflix.

401
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,320
Amazon. 
And even they even puts Bitcoin 

402
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,280
on there. 
And apparently micro strategy 

403
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:04,640
stock has has gone up to 154%, 
Bitcoin has only gone 145%, the 

404
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,840
SNP has only gone up 37%, the 
NASDAQ has only gone up 31%. 

405
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,160
The point is, is that I think 
he's making the case that his 

406
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,400
Bitcoin strategy, even though 
it's very bold, definitely very 

407
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,840
aggressive, it was definitely a 
risk at the time he was doing 

408
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,880
it. 
Especially from his perspective,

409
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,560
obviously it's not for, for, you
know, for us mere mortals, it's 

410
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,960
the only alternative was 
Bitcoin, but from someone in his

411
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,560
position, you know it 
definitely. 

412
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,400
I would definitely consider it a
risk, but it's definitely paying

413
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,360
off and I think it's going to 
continue to pay off as time 

414
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:41,680
progresses and I think that will
be a forcing function for other 

415
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,560
public companies. 
They're not going to be able to 

416
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,560
ignore this thing. 
Because of just, it's just 

417
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,120
superior assets, just better 
money than Fiat. 

418
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,480
Like you're holding Fiat on your
treasury. 

419
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Like think about it. 
You're holding $100 million or 

420
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,110
your $500 million worth of cash.
You're you're you're bleeding 

421
00:23:00,310 --> 00:23:02,790
10s of millions of dollars to 
and you're losing that 

422
00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:05,510
purchasing power because of 
inflation every single year. 

423
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:09,390
It is a terrible store of value,
but so you have no alternative, 

424
00:23:09,390 --> 00:23:11,750
right? 
But you introduce Bitcoin into 

425
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:13,870
that. 
Even if you hold 1 or 2% of 

426
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:17,630
Bitcoin, it could compensate for
the amount of purchasing power 

427
00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:20,440
you're losing. 
Because of you holding Fiat 

428
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,120
right? 
This is this is the awesome part

429
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:23,760
about Bitcoin. 
I think that's what Michael 

430
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Saylor is proving right now. 
And I think the next cycle, it's

431
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,680
going to be an undeniable fact. 
He's going to be totally, 100% 

432
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,480
vindicated. 
Anyways, I'm gonna play, I'm 

433
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,320
gonna play this CNNBC and then 
we'll kind of go around the 

434
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,600
table and get everyone's 
thoughts. 

435
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,360
Nika, I can't hear it. 
You're on the wrong tab. 

436
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:45,670
There we go. 
Let's try it again One want to 

437
00:23:45,670 --> 00:23:47,950
get your thoughts on that, 
especially since we have seen 

438
00:23:47,950 --> 00:23:50,670
regulators, the SEC for example,
cracking down on 

439
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:54,670
cryptocurrencies and exchanges 
in recent months, but Bitcoin 

440
00:23:54,670 --> 00:23:59,350
has been the exception thus far.
Can the case be made that 

441
00:23:59,350 --> 00:24:02,790
Bitcoin is a commodity and 
doesn't require the same 

442
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:04,870
regulation as everything else, 
or is it coming? 

443
00:24:06,030 --> 00:24:09,070
There's universal consensus 
generally everywhere in the 

444
00:24:09,070 --> 00:24:12,390
world, across across all 
parties, that Bitcoin is a 

445
00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:15,870
decentralized global asset that 
has value. 

446
00:24:16,190 --> 00:24:19,190
It is without an issuer and it 
is a digital commodity. 

447
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:22,950
In fact, it is the gold standard
of digital commodity. 

448
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:26,550
So you study Bitcoin to figure 
out how to create a digital 

449
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:29,630
commodity. 
There's also pretty general 

450
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:32,630
uncertainty and conflict and 
controversy. 

451
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Surrounding the role of crypto 
exchanges, stable coins, digital

452
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,440
securities, tokens and defy I 
don't think that that that 

453
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,240
uncertainty is going to be 
resolved anytime in the next two

454
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,280
years and and the chair of the 
CFTC is correct and saying we do

455
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,760
need a political solution coming
from Congress. 

456
00:24:53,290 --> 00:24:57,250
It's pretty clear that there's 
not going to be a quick solution

457
00:24:57,250 --> 00:25:00,490
coming directly from the 
regulators or organically from 

458
00:25:00,490 --> 00:25:02,770
the industry. 
So we're waiting for political 

459
00:25:02,770 --> 00:25:04,850
leadership to resolve that 
ambiguity. 

460
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:08,850
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is the one 
unambiguous thing, right? 

461
00:25:08,850 --> 00:25:13,170
It is the most certain thing and
a very promising innovative 

462
00:25:13,170 --> 00:25:16,010
economy, but full of regulatory 
uncertainty. 

463
00:25:16,010 --> 00:25:18,490
And so if you want to 
participate in the space, the 

464
00:25:18,490 --> 00:25:21,550
way to do it is with Bitcoin. 
Yeah. 

465
00:25:21,590 --> 00:25:23,630
And of course, we're also 
looking for changes to those 

466
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:27,870
FASB accounting rules, which I 
know affect you every quarter as

467
00:25:27,870 --> 00:25:30,150
well. 
So always lots to talk about. 

468
00:25:30,150 --> 00:25:32,110
Great to get your thoughts. 
Michael Saylor, thanks for 

469
00:25:32,110 --> 00:25:33,910
joining us. 
And just thank you for having 

470
00:25:35,150 --> 00:25:36,950
me. 
All right. 

471
00:25:36,950 --> 00:25:41,350
So interesting man. 
Interesting how this is so many,

472
00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:43,190
so many things are happening so 
fast. 

473
00:25:43,390 --> 00:25:45,870
So I want to get opti's take and
then and then birth. 

474
00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:50,150
Yeah well first and foremost you
know micro strategy is skipping 

475
00:25:50,150 --> 00:25:54,590
up all the Bitcoin and is the de
facto Bitcoin ETF until further 

476
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:57,070
notice And and it seems like 
they're going to continue to 

477
00:25:57,070 --> 00:26:02,110
scoop up a shit ton of Bitcoin 
and this is a a professional 

478
00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:04,350
dictionary term shit ton of 
Bitcoin. 

479
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:07,990
But to Michael. 
Sailors Point, you know, Bitcoin

480
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:11,670
has proven itself, maybe just to
us bitcoiners, that it is a 

481
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:14,270
global phenomenon that everyone 
around the world like, you know 

482
00:26:14,270 --> 00:26:17,710
Bert, he's in the Netherlands, 
where we're in the US there's 

483
00:26:17,710 --> 00:26:20,270
people in El Salvador. 
There's people literally on 

484
00:26:20,270 --> 00:26:24,470
every continent right now that 
also understand what Bitcoin is.

485
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:27,270
I say it all the time. 
The Bitcoin price is a real time

486
00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:30,750
metric for people's 
understanding of Bitcoin and 

487
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:34,020
this is a global Ledger. 
Everyone opts into it. 

488
00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:36,900
Everyone that runs a node, 
anyone that runs the Bitcoin 

489
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,140
software, whether that's Start 
9, not all Bitcoin Core, a 

490
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:43,820
Raspberry Pi, whatever, all 
agree that this is a global 

491
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:45,100
money. 
There's a universal 

492
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,380
understanding. 
This is not, you know, we are 

493
00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:49,540
American centric. 
This is not just happening in 

494
00:26:49,540 --> 00:26:51,980
America, this is not just 
happening in the Netherlands or 

495
00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:54,060
El Salvador. 
There's literally nodes 

496
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,460
everywhere around the world, and
there's individuals that all 

497
00:26:57,460 --> 00:26:59,580
have come to the same 
conclusion, the same 

498
00:26:59,580 --> 00:27:02,630
understanding as us. 
That Bitcoin is their money. 

499
00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:08,030
The Bitcoin is the best way to 
store value, and Bitcoin is a 

500
00:27:08,030 --> 00:27:12,310
way to measure value around the 
world on the same metric system 

501
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:16,030
of value as the meme goes. 
And this reduces the subjective 

502
00:27:16,030 --> 00:27:18,590
nature of value that that we 
find ourselves in the modern 

503
00:27:18,590 --> 00:27:20,430
world. 
You can't value the same thing 

504
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:23,150
in different currencies because 
of all the different exchange 

505
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:25,150
rates. 
Well, now we have one global 

506
00:27:25,150 --> 00:27:27,590
standard. 
It is called Bitcoin and you can

507
00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:30,230
get on it today and you don't 
have to ask permission. 

508
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,680
And you know, as much as people 
might not like Saylor on the 

509
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,080
Twitterverse, he's a great 
spokesman. 

510
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,400
Like. 
Why have people? 

511
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,160
They have their own contentions.
Not only is he scooping up. 

512
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,120
I'm, I'm. 
I'm unplugged. 

513
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,920
Not, I mean he's he's taking all
the Bitcoin. 

514
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,160
It's probably why they're just 
they're getting mad. 

515
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,480
But he's a great spokesman and 
anytime he comes on the 

516
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,430
mainstream media like. 
You're like, Dang, I need to 

517
00:27:59,430 --> 00:28:01,630
stack more sets. 
And he has a way of explaining 

518
00:28:01,630 --> 00:28:03,630
it for just the average person 
out there. 

519
00:28:03,870 --> 00:28:10,270
He's a way of explaining to the 
average person why their 

520
00:28:10,270 --> 00:28:13,310
skepticism and criticisms are 
wrong and why they need some 

521
00:28:13,310 --> 00:28:15,030
Bitcoin. 
And now everyone is waking up to

522
00:28:15,030 --> 00:28:17,310
this. 
So hey man, I think moving 

523
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:19,680
forward. 
This next year, the next two 

524
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,280
years is going to be absolutely 
glorious. 

525
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,720
And what do you say, Nico? 
All the time. 

526
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,880
El Salvador and Michael Saylor 
will be vindicated this next 

527
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,120
bull run. 
They're going to be, they're 

528
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:30,040
going to be vindicated, bro. 
But both both are going to be 

529
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,520
vindicated. 
It's going to be glorious to 

530
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,520
see. 
It's going to be undeniable. 

531
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,320
No amount of bullshit the media 
throws and tries to spin it is 

532
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,200
going to be able to deny that. 
So anyways, Bert, I want to get 

533
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,120
your take. 
What's up, man? 

534
00:28:46,060 --> 00:28:47,780
I think you muted, bro. 
Yeah, I was muted. 

535
00:28:48,420 --> 00:28:51,980
And yeah, actually, first the 
comment, there was some comments

536
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:55,660
from Yellow about Venice. 
Roy He's actually from this 

537
00:28:55,660 --> 00:28:58,860
town, so he's. 
Not mine yet. 

538
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,820
We got Venice, Troy on the ship.
Yeah, so it's actually. 

539
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:08,540
So if come to our supermarket 
here and or go to the butcher 

540
00:29:08,620 --> 00:29:11,100
where you can actually pay with 
Bitcoin and you might walk into 

541
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:15,660
him now, but and not football or
soccer as you call it. 

542
00:29:17,470 --> 00:29:20,270
Yeah. 
So Saylor is actually for me, 

543
00:29:20,270 --> 00:29:23,430
super interesting because he's 
an engineer, an engineer that 

544
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:28,430
was a CEO. 
And what you can see is that he 

545
00:29:28,990 --> 00:29:35,310
understands math, he understands
physics and that's something you

546
00:29:35,310 --> 00:29:40,070
don't often see in large 
corporations or CEO's in large 

547
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:43,590
corporations. 
And this bold move that he makes

548
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:47,180
is just, yeah, it's very insane.
There we go. 

549
00:29:47,260 --> 00:29:50,580
There he is. 
Yeah. 

550
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:54,220
The brother, actually, that's 
also the name of the town where 

551
00:29:54,220 --> 00:29:56,500
I am now. 
It's also called Nistelroy. 

552
00:29:56,940 --> 00:30:02,140
So that's interesting now. 
So yeah. 

553
00:30:02,140 --> 00:30:04,380
And then what you see is 
actually really interesting that

554
00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:10,180
you see that his upside is much 
more because he is doing 

555
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:14,610
leveraged Bitcoin. 
So and a lot of people can't get

556
00:30:14,610 --> 00:30:19,890
exposure through through normal 
direct ways on Bitcoin. 

557
00:30:19,890 --> 00:30:21,490
They need to go through the 
stock market. 

558
00:30:21,610 --> 00:30:26,250
So it's super interesting that 
he build a leveraged ETF already

559
00:30:26,850 --> 00:30:30,930
and that is being used so much. 
So it says a lot about what the 

560
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:35,610
future will bring. 
Yeah, yeah, 100%. 

561
00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:40,000
Yeah, man, it's it's. 
A couple things right? 

562
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,600
That's freaking crazy about you 
and Venice, Troy and the town 

563
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,200
that that's fucking nuts. 
And then 100% agree with you on 

564
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,100
On the sailor stuff. 
It was very, very exciting. 

565
00:30:53,820 --> 00:30:57,180
But at the end of the day, to 
kind of go back to what Opti was

566
00:30:57,180 --> 00:30:59,700
saying, I didn't even know he 
was getting shit on Twitter, 

567
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,460
bro. 
Like yeah, fine. 

568
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:05,020
Like I dude, if I was in his 
position, I would be using that 

569
00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:08,140
big ass company to, you know, 
leverage that company to buy 

570
00:31:08,220 --> 00:31:11,620
more and more and more Bitcoin. 
Like that that that would be a 

571
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:13,660
genius move. 
Do you guys remember your first 

572
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:16,180
couple of years in Bitcoin? 
You would sell everything you 

573
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:18,860
can. 
In order to stack harder like it

574
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:22,420
was, you know, I remember those 
days, right, Sailors going 

575
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:38,300
through that. 
When did sailors start buying 

576
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:23,820
again? 
He's going through like the 

577
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:27,100
first couple of years. 
The only difference between him 

578
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:29,900
and the rest of us is that he's 
just a billionaire, right. 

579
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:32,300
So he has access. 
He's a lot more access. 

580
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:35,340
He has a lot more purchasing 
power than most of us. 

581
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:39,420
So just any. 
Was it 2020? 

582
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:42,500
It said right there in that 
chart. 20 It was pretty, I think

583
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:46,300
it was 2020, yeah, 2020, August 
2020, I think in the chart. 

584
00:31:47,490 --> 00:31:54,890
And yeah, it's just insane how 
fast he accumulated, right? 

585
00:31:55,170 --> 00:31:59,170
And also when you saw the price 
drop and you think okay, could 

586
00:31:59,170 --> 00:32:04,170
someone get anxious, nothing 
happening, right? 

587
00:32:06,130 --> 00:32:13,650
He's, I never forget at Pacific 
Bitcoin, he was just hanging out

588
00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:16,800
in the VIP area. 
And the VIP area was right in 

589
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,480
front of the stage and it was 
like kind of like it was like 

590
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,760
kind of, you know, closed off. 
And he was just sitting on on 

591
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,360
one of the couches listening to 
all the speeches. 

592
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,320
And I remember, like, this was 
when Bitcoin was sitting at like

593
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,480
16 K So like, I I can't even 
imagine. 

594
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,920
Of course, like, you know, he, 
he was, he was concentrated, he 

595
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,840
was having a good time. 
But I can't imagine. 

596
00:32:43,390 --> 00:32:47,630
What it must have been like for 
him, you know down 50% on his 

597
00:32:47,630 --> 00:32:51,230
Bitcoin investment and then 
having all that public pressure 

598
00:32:51,230 --> 00:32:55,470
behind him, that must have been 
crazy, you know, to to kind of 

599
00:32:55,470 --> 00:32:59,470
just, you know that that is, 
that is pure determination, 

600
00:32:59,590 --> 00:33:01,830
right? 
But again, most of us have gone 

601
00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:04,720
through that. 
I know that I have. 

602
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,560
I've gone through that. 
I think that if you've been 

603
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,400
here, if you've because what 
tends to happen is most people 

604
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,320
get into Bitcoin in the bull 
market, right? 

605
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,080
Like that's that's like the the 
generally what tends to happen 

606
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,960
with 99% of people, right? 
So you get in 2017, you buy a 

607
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:24,080
10/14/15 K then goes back down 
to three K you're like fuck, why

608
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,360
did I do that? 
I could have just waited for, 

609
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720
you know, 3K like I'm a fucking 
moron. 

610
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:33,420
Anyways, anyhow. 
Well, well also just, I think it

611
00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:36,900
was Foss who said it on Twitter 
the other day or yesterday or 

612
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:40,420
something. 
Sailor understands his risk 

613
00:33:40,420 --> 00:33:42,580
tolerance and he understands how
to hedge his risk. 

614
00:33:42,580 --> 00:33:45,900
And I forget what his trade was 
in the past, but sailor's been 

615
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:50,140
making these very quote UN quote
risky trades for probably the 

616
00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:53,020
most of his career. 
And so once he understands 

617
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:55,500
something that that he has full 
conviction in. 

618
00:33:55,980 --> 00:33:58,620
He just goes all in and it's 
paid off for him in the past. 

619
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:00,940
Obviously, like he is a 
billionaire, so like, you ever 

620
00:34:00,980 --> 00:34:02,740
seen the video of him 
presenting? 

621
00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:07,740
Yeah, Yes, of talking about the 
mobile wave, you know. 100% and 

622
00:34:08,420 --> 00:34:11,060
just before anyone had a had had
an iPhone, you know. 

623
00:34:11,340 --> 00:34:13,940
Exactly. 
Yeah, you need to go full into 

624
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:17,980
Apple because this iPhone that's
going to break the market, you 

625
00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:21,179
know, You know, Yeah. 
And everybody thinks, yeah, this

626
00:34:21,179 --> 00:34:24,880
guy is insane, right? 
Like Nokia and Samsung are 

627
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,320
dominating the market. 
They have 99%. 

628
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,199
What the fuck is this guy 
talking about? 

629
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,360
And look where we are now, you 
know? 

630
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,760
And that's exactly, that's 2010 
or something like that. 

631
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,560
And now he's doing exactly the 
same with Bitcoin and people 

632
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,880
just simply think the same about
him again. 

633
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,960
It's really funny. 
So. 

634
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,719
Exactly. 
That was the point, because he 

635
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,120
knows that it's going up 
forever, Laura. 

636
00:34:50,690 --> 00:34:53,250

sound board.

Anyways, Opti, what are we 

667
00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:26,010
talking about today, brother? 
Yeah, bro. 

668
00:36:26,010 --> 00:36:29,130
So we kind of got into it 
earlier, Bert. 

669
00:36:29,330 --> 00:36:32,850
We kind of touched on your 
rabbit hole journey, people like

670
00:36:32,850 --> 00:36:35,130
that. 
So how about we just recap again

671
00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:38,730
very quickly before we get into 
your business Again, I'm 

672
00:36:38,730 --> 00:36:40,410
butchering it. 
Bitcoin Brabant? 

673
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:45,160
I believe so. 
He told us your Bitcoin journey.

674
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,920
How about Quick Recap and then 
we'll jump into what what you're

675
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,400
working on. 
Yeah, so quick recap is 2019 

676
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,080
started to get to know a little 
bit about it, then wanted to 

677
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,120
know everything about it. 
Which ended up also meaning that

678
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,520
I wanted to mine and mining was 
2021. 

679
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:06,960
And then last year natural gas 
prices exploded. 

680
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,560
I'm one of the miners in the 
greenhouse took a video of it. 

681
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,110
Half a million views and then I 
got a lot of requests to start 

682
00:37:14,110 --> 00:37:17,590
to hit businesses with minors 
and that's what I did throughout

683
00:37:17,590 --> 00:37:19,630
last year. 
So I did 18 businesses last 

684
00:37:19,630 --> 00:37:21,950
year. 
And yeah, now I'm running a 

685
00:37:21,950 --> 00:37:25,470
Bitcoin business and that's full
time. 

686
00:37:25,470 --> 00:37:30,950
And now it's more directing into
reselling some of your US 

687
00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:33,390
products from Block Stream and 
Foundation Passports. 

688
00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:36,670
But that's because they're open 
source and people want to save 

689
00:37:36,670 --> 00:37:39,430
their Bitcoin when they mine. 
So that's something that I had 

690
00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:42,630
to add some value to. 
And yeah, that's what I'm doing 

691
00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:45,430
in the EU momentarily, yeah. 
Love it? 

692
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:49,830
So let's plug Bitcoin Brabant. 
You already hit on what you do. 

693
00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:53,590
But again to recap for the audio
listeners, what exactly is 

694
00:37:53,590 --> 00:37:57,760
Bitcoin Brabant? 
Yeah, so mostly mining. 

695
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,280
So we help people with mining 
installations. 

696
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,080
So if they want to heat their 
business or they want to do some

697
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,640
spare capacity mining, we have a
lot of renewable in the 

698
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,960
Netherlands and sometimes 
there's over capacity that they 

699
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,560
can dump on the grid. 
So then we help people with a 

700
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,760
proper installation which mines 
away the excess capacity or heat

701
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,560
a part of the business with 
miners. 

702
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,120
And it's not possible to just 
put minors at the location here 

703
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,880
because the tax on electricity 
is simply too high. 

704
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,040
So you either need to use the 
heat or it needs to be accessed 

705
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,960
in front of the meter, you know.
So that's something that we 

706
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,040
really do. 
And then apart from that we help

707
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,800
with some payments and then 
mostly we help with block string

708
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,620
jades and the passports with 
proper setups of storage, so 

709
00:38:49,340 --> 00:38:51,980
also outside of people that are 
not mining. 

710
00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:55,220
Love it. 
So you mentioned earlier, are 

711
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:57,980
you using S nines mainly or are 
you using? 

712
00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:01,100
No. 
So we're using from bit main to 

713
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:04,860
what's minor. 
It really depends on what the 

714
00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:09,140
client wants, what the timeline 
looks like, what the contracts 

715
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:12,420
look like, how much electricity,
how much heat. 

716
00:39:13,290 --> 00:39:16,610
So do we place boxes or not or 
do they build their own boxes to

717
00:39:16,610 --> 00:39:20,850
dampen the sound or do we put 
sound dampening on it ourselves.

718
00:39:20,850 --> 00:39:24,930
So I don't know if you can see 
it, but here is A/C Infinity 

719
00:39:25,810 --> 00:39:27,970
also coming from imported from 
the US. 

720
00:39:28,090 --> 00:39:32,530
So we have all kinds of 
different types that we can help

721
00:39:32,530 --> 00:39:35,730
out with all custom custom for 
the customers. 

722
00:39:36,570 --> 00:39:39,810
Love it. 
I have one a couple particular 

723
00:39:39,810 --> 00:39:41,770
questions and if you don't want 
to get into the details, by all 

724
00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:44,650
means, but. 
I've been to the Netherlands 

725
00:39:44,650 --> 00:39:47,650
once when I was like 18. 
What is like the standard 

726
00:39:47,650 --> 00:39:50,050
weather out there and you 
mentioned the high energy cost. 

727
00:39:50,050 --> 00:39:51,810
What's the energy looking out 
over there? 

728
00:39:51,810 --> 00:39:55,050
Because we have heard that 
currently in Europe there is a 

729
00:39:55,050 --> 00:39:57,810
lot of energy concerns. 
Yeah. 

730
00:39:57,930 --> 00:40:03,450
So the most ridiculous part is 
for for home use they changed 

731
00:40:03,570 --> 00:40:06,170
the the text. 
So they they changed the text 

732
00:40:06,170 --> 00:40:09,970
from three cents a kWh last year
to 12 cents a kWh this year. 

733
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:14,610
And then there's also AVAT of 
21% on the on the electricity. 

734
00:40:14,610 --> 00:40:20,210
So the electricity price is so 
high because of tax for the home

735
00:40:20,210 --> 00:40:23,290
consumers, but for businesses 
this is totally different. 

736
00:40:23,290 --> 00:40:27,570
So if you run a large consuming 
business, you basically don't 

737
00:40:27,570 --> 00:40:31,690
pay any tax. 
So the the, the difference for 

738
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:35,090
the plats who want to mine at 
home and the large companies, 

739
00:40:35,090 --> 00:40:39,250
it's it's very, very, yeah, 
there's a huge gap. 

740
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:42,570
And what is the purpose of that 
tax? 

741
00:40:44,090 --> 00:40:47,490
Yeah, they want to finance the 
energy transition, of course. 

742
00:40:47,490 --> 00:40:52,730
So the amount of tax that's 
being put on electricity and 

743
00:40:52,730 --> 00:40:57,170
natural gas is just insane. 
And this is for the green stuff,

744
00:40:57,170 --> 00:40:58,610
right? 
Yeah. 

745
00:40:58,610 --> 00:41:02,690
So we try to transition to wind 
and solar as quickly as 

746
00:41:02,690 --> 00:41:06,690
possible, and that requires a 
totally different grid. 

747
00:41:07,250 --> 00:41:11,280
But yeah, that needs also a lot 
of text, so they text it 

748
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,920
ridiculously, yeah. 
That's crazy man. 

749
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:16,920
Do you think? 
Is that like, is that transition

750
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,880
even viable? 
Cuz some people are saying it's 

751
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,730
not possible. 
Yeah, of course everything is 

752
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:24,330
possible. 
But what's the cost? 

753
00:41:26,010 --> 00:41:30,050
Yeah, and but the fun part of 
this is that mining fits in so 

754
00:41:30,050 --> 00:41:33,890
well, you know, So because we 
have such a large over capacity 

755
00:41:33,890 --> 00:41:37,610
now with wind and solar is that 
we get a lot of negative 

756
00:41:37,610 --> 00:41:39,570
electricity. 
So you get paid to use 

757
00:41:39,570 --> 00:41:43,490
electricity. 
So you just throw in an old S 9 

758
00:41:43,810 --> 00:41:47,570
and you just switch it on when 
the prices hit zero. 

759
00:41:48,530 --> 00:41:52,360
It's nice, you know, you can do 
that at home also, but you still

760
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,360
have the 12 cent tax, but prices
go to minus $0.40 here 

761
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,960
sometimes, you know, and then we
we just pay millions to Germany 

762
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,840
and Belgium just to take our 
electricity because we have so 

763
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,480
much renewable generation 
sometimes and that is only going

764
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,560
up, it's. 
The expectation? 

765
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,200
Love it. 
All right, so we got a question 

766
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,480
in the chat by Dennis said. 
Please ask Burt to give us some 

767
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,950
examples of how. 
This has worked worked out for 

768
00:42:20,950 --> 00:42:24,470
some how you implement it and so
on into the businesses around 

769
00:42:24,470 --> 00:42:26,910
you. 
Yeah, so the greenhouse, so the 

770
00:42:26,910 --> 00:42:30,190
Bitcoin bloom greenhouse where 
the tulips are, that was the 

771
00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:32,750
easiest example. 
So they use a lot of 

772
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:36,750
electricity, so they barely pay 
any tax on their electricity, 

773
00:42:36,750 --> 00:42:39,550
have a good contract which is 
stable. 

774
00:42:39,550 --> 00:42:43,870
So very low electricity price 
and they need heat year round. 

775
00:42:43,870 --> 00:42:47,580
So in the winter they need it to
grow the tulips, and in the 

776
00:42:47,580 --> 00:42:52,300
summer they needed to dry the 
Tulip bulbs because they come 

777
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,980
out of the land wet, you know. 
So yeah, this is the picture you

778
00:42:55,980 --> 00:42:57,540
see. 
That's the greenhouse. 

779
00:42:57,980 --> 00:43:02,500
And we just have ASIC standing 
there pushing the heat either 

780
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:06,140
through the bulbs in the summer 
or through the greenhouse, which

781
00:43:06,140 --> 00:43:09,940
grows the flowers in the winter.
And that makes a business case 

782
00:43:10,580 --> 00:43:13,660
very easily because we reduce 
natural gas which is really 

783
00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:18,500
expensive and electricity cost 
is really low because they are a

784
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:22,340
large consumer of electricity. 
So in this case, it was easy to 

785
00:43:22,340 --> 00:43:25,740
set up and we physically put the
miners in the greenhouse as you 

786
00:43:25,740 --> 00:43:28,300
could see. 
And then monthly we cleaned the,

787
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:32,260
we cleaned the miners to make 
sure that they stay in perfect 

788
00:43:32,260 --> 00:43:36,540
condition because it's better to
use immersion of course, but 

789
00:43:36,540 --> 00:43:38,660
then it becomes really expensive
to run it. 

790
00:43:40,180 --> 00:43:46,380
So we chose to to keep it air. 
Wait, wait, wait, wait. 

791
00:43:46,380 --> 00:43:50,740
Bert, you're telling me that 
Bitcoin miners are not killing 

792
00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:52,700
the planet and they're not 
killing plants? 

793
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:54,900
What's going on here? 
I heard a lot of propaganda 

794
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:57,420
going the other way. 
It sounds like they're keeping 

795
00:43:57,420 --> 00:43:59,580
plants alive. 
Almost like they keep them 

796
00:43:59,580 --> 00:44:01,380
alive. 
Are you saying everybody's? 

797
00:44:01,940 --> 00:44:04,820
Asking where where the hush is, 
you know where are. 

798
00:44:04,820 --> 00:44:08,100
We getting the marijuana is 
growing. 

799
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:12,550
And yeah, I believe, you know, 
in the Netherlands it's legal to

800
00:44:12,550 --> 00:44:15,350
buy marijuana, but it's not 
legal to grow it. 

801
00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:17,870
We have a very weird country, 
you know, there's a lot of 

802
00:44:17,870 --> 00:44:23,230
things that are strange here. 
So for sure there's no one going

803
00:44:23,230 --> 00:44:24,950
to publicly say that this is 
happening. 

804
00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:28,550
But yeah, of course these kind 
of things happen, you know 

805
00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:31,230
because they also need 
electricity and they need to 

806
00:44:31,230 --> 00:44:37,520
heat, heat plants and we do it 
with tulips and we did it with 

807
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,040
hydrangea, but they went 
bankrupt the the, the 

808
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,680
greenhouse. 
And that was because the natural

809
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,120
gas prices were so high and they
still needed to use a lot of 

810
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,680
natural gas. 
So they didn't make it as many 

811
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,280
didn't. 
But the greenhouse who used 

812
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,960
quite a lot of electric heat, 
they they surely survived 

813
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,480
through the tulips and that's 
also partially we got of 

814
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,320
Bitcoin. 
So it's it's nice to see these 

815
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,700
implementations where you grow 
food also you know and that's 

816
00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:10,300
what I think is also coming up, 
we will see food growing. 

817
00:45:11,140 --> 00:45:15,900
Then I saw in New York, they are
already heating a bath house. 

818
00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:20,620
So there's a lot of pools, 
community pools that have closed

819
00:45:20,620 --> 00:45:23,460
down in the Netherlands because 
of the natural gas prices we are

820
00:45:23,460 --> 00:45:26,420
looking at. 
Can we do something with mining 

821
00:45:26,420 --> 00:45:28,020
there? 
You know, because it actually 

822
00:45:28,020 --> 00:45:31,020
makes sense because the pool 
needs to be heated year round. 

823
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:34,760
So these kind of locations are 
interesting and that's what we 

824
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:44,320
hope to do. 
That's awesome. 

825
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,320
We want to stay local, we want 
to stay in the Netherlands and 

826
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,800
we want to show what Bitcoin can
do in a positive way for the 

827
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,880
community and the. 
Yeah, I love it. 

828
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,080
That's really cool. 
Sounds like Bitcoin is keeping 

829
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,800
plants alive. 
New York Times What? 

830
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,920
What did you think? 
That that's the cherry on top. 

831
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,280
What did you think of the New 
York Times article when you saw 

832
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:00,840
it? 
Right? 

833
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,280
Because from someone in your 
situation, right? 

834
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,240
It's like, not only are you 
mining Bitcoin, but you're 

835
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:12,200
actually using that Bitcoin to 
keep life alive, right? 

836
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,240
So it's like it's completely 
counterintuitive to the 

837
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,960
narrative that they're trying to
portray. 

838
00:46:17,410 --> 00:46:18,730
Yeah. 
But you see that it's turning 

839
00:46:18,730 --> 00:46:23,370
and the narrative is turning. 
So I had a couple of mainstream 

840
00:46:23,370 --> 00:46:27,370
media coming to visit. 
So I had CNN over, so. 

841
00:46:27,490 --> 00:46:31,290
And decentralized. 
That's a little, Yeah. 

842
00:46:31,370 --> 00:46:32,930
It's a little documentary that 
was made. 

843
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:36,330
I could present a little bit. 
And they were really asking 

844
00:46:36,330 --> 00:46:38,410
like, is this real? 
You know, what you're doing? 

845
00:46:38,410 --> 00:46:40,890
Is this real? 
You know, is this really heating

846
00:46:40,890 --> 00:46:43,050
the green that they're really 
pushing it? 

847
00:46:43,050 --> 00:46:46,110
You know that. 
So they they Yeah, they. 

848
00:46:46,270 --> 00:46:48,230
It's like put your hand. 
Behind the ASIC. 

849
00:46:48,270 --> 00:46:50,430
Put your hand behind the ASIC. 
Yes, yeah. 

850
00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:53,630
I literally lifted. 
I literally lifted the presenter

851
00:46:53,630 --> 00:46:55,470
in front of the ASIC because she
couldn't reach it. 

852
00:46:55,470 --> 00:46:59,710
So it's a feeling but. 
She's like, yeah, yeah, it's 

853
00:46:59,710 --> 00:47:03,470
really, it's really hot. 
So, but it's yeah, it's it's 

854
00:47:03,470 --> 00:47:06,670
really nice to show and then 
they understand, you know, that 

855
00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:10,470
this is real what we are doing. 
This is not some fake thing and 

856
00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:13,780
it's really coming from the 
community like we are doing it 

857
00:47:13,780 --> 00:47:16,260
at small scale. 
We are doing this distributed 

858
00:47:16,260 --> 00:47:18,700
locations where it's actually 
optimal. 

859
00:47:18,700 --> 00:47:22,060
You know, we have solar that is 
in excess, We have cheap 

860
00:47:22,060 --> 00:47:24,660
electricity. 
We have that's the only place 

861
00:47:24,660 --> 00:47:28,820
where it makes sense. 
So and the more of these stories

862
00:47:28,820 --> 00:47:31,980
that come live that, yeah, 
that's just very positive for 

863
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:33,820
Bitcoin. 
So the New York Times can 

864
00:47:33,820 --> 00:47:36,700
publish whatever they want or 
they can change the picture a 

865
00:47:36,700 --> 00:47:40,170
little bit and but at some point
truth comes out, you know, and 

866
00:47:40,170 --> 00:47:43,450
it in the end, Bitcoin will 
always be better for the 

867
00:47:43,450 --> 00:47:46,930
environment because it's against
fractionally fractional reserve 

868
00:47:46,930 --> 00:47:49,850
banking, you know. 
So it just means that it's very 

869
00:47:49,850 --> 00:47:53,530
good for the environment anyway.
Every euro in Bitcoin is much 

870
00:47:53,530 --> 00:47:56,370
better than in any other 
investment you could do, you 

871
00:47:56,370 --> 00:47:58,130
know. 
So but it's something that will 

872
00:47:58,130 --> 00:48:01,050
click at some point and it will 
take years for people to grasp 

873
00:48:01,050 --> 00:48:03,850
this. 
Yeah, and that had to been super

874
00:48:03,850 --> 00:48:06,970
powerful too, Nico, if I 
remember correctly, and you have

875
00:48:06,970 --> 00:48:09,810
better memory than me, was it 
Netherlands really fighting 

876
00:48:09,810 --> 00:48:12,490
Bitcoin mining and we were using
that example constantly. 

877
00:48:12,570 --> 00:48:14,050
I think it was no. 
It was Norway. 

878
00:48:14,450 --> 00:48:15,930
It was Norway. 
Sorry, forgive me. 

879
00:48:15,930 --> 00:48:18,370
It's currently in Sweden. 
You know, So what they did in 

880
00:48:18,370 --> 00:48:23,410
Sweden is that they, they put a 
specific tax on the electricity 

881
00:48:23,410 --> 00:48:27,010
for Bitcoin mining, which they 
increased with 6000% or 

882
00:48:27,010 --> 00:48:31,380
something ridiculous. 
So most miners will most likely 

883
00:48:31,620 --> 00:48:33,900
move out of Sweden. 
And I think this is also the, 

884
00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:38,020
the, the danger, you know, for 
large scale mining, if a 

885
00:48:38,020 --> 00:48:41,180
government all of a sudden 
decides to kill you, they can. 

886
00:48:41,180 --> 00:48:44,780
But with distributed mining, you
know, a lot of small businesses 

887
00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:47,260
and then all the whole miners, 
yeah, How are you going to stop 

888
00:48:47,260 --> 00:48:48,380
this? 
You know, you have to knock 

889
00:48:48,380 --> 00:48:51,540
every door and then check which 
computer is actually a minor. 

890
00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,500
I don't know how they're going 
to do it, but it's much more 

891
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:59,860
difficult and actually the 
optimal locations here have to 

892
00:48:59,860 --> 00:49:03,340
be distributed. 
They will not necessarily be 

893
00:49:04,340 --> 00:49:07,180
centralized. 
And in Sweden this was the case,

894
00:49:07,180 --> 00:49:10,740
you know, it was next to a hydro
dam where you have excess 

895
00:49:10,980 --> 00:49:14,140
electricity. 
Yeah, and you know, it's 

896
00:49:14,140 --> 00:49:17,580
interesting too, because they 
try the same thing in Norway. 

897
00:49:17,780 --> 00:49:21,940
And the in the Norway to me was 
the smoking gun because. 

898
00:49:22,460 --> 00:49:27,860
The IT was like 98% or 99% of 
the electricity that the miners 

899
00:49:27,860 --> 00:49:32,180
were using was from socalled 
renewable energy sources in the 

900
00:49:32,180 --> 00:49:36,340
northern, in the northern part 
of the country where it no one 

901
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:41,700
else is using that that power 
and they still tried to, they 

902
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:47,380
still try to ban it, right? 
So that, to me, tells me that 

903
00:49:47,380 --> 00:49:52,570
this is a political motivation. 
Rather than a like an actual 

904
00:49:52,570 --> 00:49:56,970
concern for the electricity. 
Because it's like, you know, and

905
00:49:56,970 --> 00:49:59,610
I think you're proving and I 
think that's why your projects 

906
00:49:59,690 --> 00:50:05,210
are so important because it's 
like it's it's not only saying 

907
00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:08,450
about it theoretically. 
It's actually like look guys 

908
00:50:08,850 --> 00:50:11,610
like here's here's what is 
actually happening. 

909
00:50:11,930 --> 00:50:15,250
You know, we will put that 
reporter's face inside or in 

910
00:50:15,250 --> 00:50:18,770
front of the ASIC heat. 
And you know they can't deny it 

911
00:50:18,770 --> 00:50:21,860
at that point. 
Anyways, everybody, let's let's 

912
00:50:21,860 --> 00:50:25,420
move on to the meme review. 
We got a lot of memes to review.

Make sure you're having fun. 

931
00:51:17,570 --> 00:51:20,090
Get the crowd involved with the 
show. 

932
00:51:20,090 --> 00:51:23,330
So tag us in the memes and and 
drop the tweet in our telegram 

933
00:51:23,330 --> 00:51:25,170
group. 
And I know I'm lagging a little 

934
00:51:25,170 --> 00:51:29,770
bit right now, so Yellow was 
literally pestering me before 

935
00:51:29,770 --> 00:51:33,360
the show. 
And he asked me to put this meme

936
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,200
on and and you know I don't fall
into the peer pressure. 

937
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,600
Nico, I usually would have told 
him to know. 

938
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:40,960
Wait, wait, hold on. 
I have him. 

939
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,320
No. 
But it is fitting. 

940
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,600
So we're going to put we're 
going to put his meme on the 

941
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,280
show today. 
This is yellow AKAICL offender 2

942
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,760
on Twitter. 
And since we did have sailor in 

943
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,280
the news today. 
I I thought it was a good idea. 

944
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,920

949
00:52:04,540 --> 00:52:06,060
A second. 
Pause it for a second. 

950
00:52:06,620 --> 00:52:08,540
Pause it for a second. 
Everyone's been waiting for this

951
00:52:08,540 --> 00:52:09,860
moment. 
Oh yeah. 

952
00:52:09,940 --> 00:52:10,780
Oh yeah. 
Wait, what was the?

955
00:52:13,380 --> 00:52:14,020
Gang.

00:52:14,380 --> 00:52:15,420

Hmm.

961
00:52:19,220 --> 00:52:23,260
All right, all right, all right.
Yes, yes. 

962
00:52:23,580 --> 00:52:25,100
In cyberspace. 
Gang. 

963
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:27,150
Gang. 
OK. 

964
00:52:27,230 --> 00:52:28,750
All right. 
Good. 

965
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:31,030
OK, Bitcoin. 
So good. 

966
00:52:31,230 --> 00:52:34,190
Bitcoin so good. 
OK, here, let me get to the Real

967
00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:37,910
meme review here guys. 
Uh, shouts out to Yellow. 

968
00:52:38,070 --> 00:52:41,190
He's. 
He's trolling off the NPC. 

969
00:52:41,470 --> 00:52:44,470
Off the NPC. 
Now, now, now my boys are gonna 

970
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:47,070
gonna clip that and I'm never 
gonna live it down. 

971
00:52:47,350 --> 00:52:54,110
OK, all right, there's this next
meme is by Toxic Bitcoiner, and 

972
00:52:54,110 --> 00:52:57,860
he tagged me in this. 
It was an old me or old tweet 

973
00:52:57,860 --> 00:53:03,300
that I put on here and someone 
said like in quote, you got 

974
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:05,500
lucky here actually. 
Well, we'll do the we'll do the 

975
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,820
meme first. 
So we have the, you know. 

976
00:53:08,300 --> 00:53:13,340
Worn out Wojack picture here and
toxic bitcoiner and quote goes 

977
00:53:13,460 --> 00:53:16,540
You just got lucky bro. 
You heard about Bitcoin so long 

978
00:53:16,540 --> 00:53:18,500
ago bro. 
You don't deserve to not have to

979
00:53:18,500 --> 00:53:20,420
work bro. 
All you did was huddle. 

980
00:53:20,420 --> 00:53:22,180
You're lazy. 
How hard is that? 

981
00:53:22,380 --> 00:53:24,900
If I heard about it when you 
did, I would have went all in 

982
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:27,140
too bro. 
I would have held through too 

983
00:53:27,140 --> 00:53:29,020
bro. 
Besides, the government says 

984
00:53:29,020 --> 00:53:32,100
you're a terrorist now bro. 
And I saw this. 

985
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:33,940
It was on my radar because 
someone quoted. 

986
00:53:33,940 --> 00:53:36,540
I didn't get lucky. 
I was right, and it's a tweet 

987
00:53:36,540 --> 00:53:38,100
that I did a while ago didn't 
get. 

988
00:53:38,300 --> 00:53:42,380
He studied Austrian economics. 
Let's go shuts out the toxic 

989
00:53:42,380 --> 00:53:44,940
bitcoiner. 
This next meme is by Brian 

990
00:53:44,940 --> 00:53:48,220
Lockhart, and in all caps he 
goes Bitcoin miners wondering 

991
00:53:48,220 --> 00:53:50,460
where all the ordinal tards have
gone. 

992
00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:54,140
And he's got a chart here of the
men pool. 

993
00:53:54,140 --> 00:53:58,030
And you can see. 
The the fees here, you know, 600

994
00:53:58,030 --> 00:54:02,710
plus fees are per per transact. 
What's that per byte fees at 

995
00:54:02,710 --> 00:54:06,310
5.285 BTC. 
And I thought the Wizards broke 

996
00:54:06,310 --> 00:54:09,510
Bitcoin and we got the classic 
Wolverine picture where he's 

997
00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:13,070
reminiscing and he's in bed and 
he's looking for the 600 sad 

998
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:15,750
fees. 
Oh man, what a what a crazy 

999
00:54:15,750 --> 00:54:17,990
time. 
OK, this next meme is by Maxie's

1000
00:54:17,990 --> 00:54:22,690
Club and it goes 478 Wales. 
And we got someone buying 

1001
00:54:22,690 --> 00:54:25,570
Bitcoin from a Bitcoin ATM, and 
it's on a camera and it's 

1002
00:54:25,570 --> 00:54:27,410
recording and it's a bitcoiner 
out there. 

1003
00:54:27,410 --> 00:54:30,850
And it goes, Whale's watching me
buy Bitcoin at discount, and he 

1004
00:54:30,850 --> 00:54:33,330
sees that he's getting recorded 
and he winks at them and he 

1005
00:54:33,330 --> 00:54:36,330
goes, thank you for the cheap 
Sats, really appreciate it. 

1006
00:54:37,620 --> 00:54:39,420
Stay humble Stack sats. 
Stay solvent. 

1007
00:54:39,420 --> 00:54:41,140
This is the way. 
Continue the stack. 

1008
00:54:41,140 --> 00:54:44,260
Who cares what the price does? 
The only number that matters is 

1009
00:54:44,260 --> 00:54:46,300
how many sats are under your 
control. 

1010
00:54:46,300 --> 00:54:50,380
This next one is by Jose S BAM 
and it just goes hashtag Bitcoin

1011
00:54:50,380 --> 00:54:52,900
and I know you guys have solved 
the world coin memes going 

1012
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:56,660
around in the world coin news 
about people lining up to scan 

1013
00:54:56,660 --> 00:55:01,260
their eyeballs for some shit 
coin and this is looking into 

1014
00:55:01,420 --> 00:55:03,500
the 8 ball. 
The magic shiny 8 ball. 

1015
00:55:04,020 --> 00:55:07,180
AKA the world coin Orb. 
And it goes laughing my ass off 

1016
00:55:07,180 --> 00:55:09,500
you stupid fuck idiot. 
By Bitcoin. 

1017
00:55:11,140 --> 00:55:12,940
That was his meme. 
All right, this next one is by 

1018
00:55:12,940 --> 00:55:16,140
Cedor under score Ionic goes 
what year is it? 

1019
00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:20,380
And we have a girl here like. 
And it goes when his address 

1020
00:55:20,380 --> 00:55:25,180
starts with A1, starts with BC. 
Come on guys, don't use legacy 

1021
00:55:25,180 --> 00:55:27,700
addresses. 
Anyways, this next meme is by 

1022
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,890
Greg ZAJ Uno. 
AKA Greg's all you want and he 

1023
00:55:30,890 --> 00:55:34,530
goes, quote, I think I'd like to
solve this one and it's a wheel 

1024
00:55:34,530 --> 00:55:38,450
of fortune and you can see here 
it's, you know some letters and 

1025
00:55:38,450 --> 00:55:41,890
it sounds like, what is it, 
what's the second best? 

1026
00:55:42,210 --> 00:55:46,410
There is no second best and it's
sailor down here smiling thing. 

1027
00:55:46,410 --> 00:55:49,170
I think I'd like to solve this 
one because there is no second 

1028
00:55:49,210 --> 00:55:52,810
best, OK. 
And this last one is by 21 JCLP 

1029
00:55:53,210 --> 00:55:56,050
and he goes by Bitcoin to 
protect yourself and your 

1030
00:55:56,050 --> 00:55:58,310
family. 
And it just goes bitcoiners. 

1031
00:55:58,310 --> 00:56:03,590
And you can see this like Pixar 
picture here of a Bitcoin family

1032
00:56:03,590 --> 00:56:07,430
with the Bitcoin picture in the 
background. 

1033
00:56:07,710 --> 00:56:10,590
And they look so sweet and they 
look so solvent and wealthy. 

1034
00:56:10,590 --> 00:56:12,750
And this is the way guys 
continue to stack. 

1035
00:56:12,750 --> 00:56:14,510
What's my boy Nick? 
Can't mind say. 

1036
00:56:15,310 --> 00:56:18,190
I don't stack Sats for my first 
name, I stack Sats for my last 

1037
00:56:18,190 --> 00:56:20,830
name. 
This is the way guys, this has 

1038
00:56:20,830 --> 00:56:25,190
changed the course of not only 
your progeny but of humanity by 

1039
00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:28,390
stacking sats. 
This is why I do what I do as 

1040
00:56:28,390 --> 00:56:30,190
well. 
Anyways Nico or actually you 

1041
00:56:30,190 --> 00:56:33,230
guys drop your beam review score
over there on the other side of 

1042
00:56:33,230 --> 00:56:35,470
everyone and we will cover it 
live. 

1043
00:56:36,190 --> 00:56:39,870
I legitimately forgot to get a 
score but this was on the floor.

1044
00:56:40,030 --> 00:56:47,570
So silica jail packet. 
That I'm literally no, no, I'm 

1045
00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:49,210
not going to say that because 
the memes are great. 

1046
00:56:49,210 --> 00:56:53,650
All right, Nick, I go. 
What would you give, What would 

1047
00:56:53,650 --> 00:56:55,930
you give? 
I'm, I'm, I'm going to pass it 

1048
00:56:55,930 --> 00:56:59,010
on to Bert and then and then 
I'll go, I'm, I'm, I feel like 

1049
00:56:59,010 --> 00:57:00,210
I'm going to be outflowered 
here. 

1050
00:57:07,820 --> 00:57:09,220
Bert, what would you give those 
memes? 

1051
00:57:12,820 --> 00:57:16,260
It's a good one. 
Yeah. 

1052
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:18,940
You you kicked off with the 
yellow one, that's.

Gang gang. 
I love Vic Light. 

1054
00:57:22,870 --> 00:57:25,550
That's the 21, right? 
There we go. 

1055
00:57:25,550 --> 00:57:28,270
All right. 
There's no second best. 

1056
00:57:28,750 --> 00:57:31,150
Okay, that's a good score. 
That's a good score. 

1057
00:57:31,150 --> 00:57:34,270
Are you ready? 
Are you ready for my score, 

1058
00:57:34,270 --> 00:57:35,190

That's my score. 
That's my score. 

1062
00:57:43,970 --> 00:57:45,210
That's my score.

Nice.

Nikko. 
So let me pull them up. 

1066
00:57:52,730 --> 00:57:54,130
I didn't check this. 
I can't. 

1067
00:57:54,130 --> 00:57:57,090
Believe he's from your town. 
That is so fucking cool, dude. 

1068
00:57:57,090 --> 00:58:00,970
I can't get over that. 
Oh man.

1075
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,890

All right, Yeah. 

1076
00:58:25,930 --> 00:58:27,330
Actually, let me read this one.

Provide value to my fellow man.

00:58:33,890 --> 00:58:34,690
Deaf. 
No. 

1081
00:58:34,690 --> 00:58:38,570
Become a live action and BMPC

Oh, yeah, gang, gang.

00:58:45,290 --> 00:58:48,410
All right. 
Go, Nico. 

1086
00:58:48,410 --> 00:58:53,120
Your turn. 
Toddle coin. 

1087
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,840
I give the memes a corn emoji. 
Yum. 

1088
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,880
I love corn. 
You see? 

1089
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,120
I'm pretty good at it. 
Too healthy. 

1090
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,720
You're not the. 
You're not the only E girl here.

1091
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:02,680
OK. 
All right. 

1092
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,240
I'm their favorite E girl. 
Bitcoin for Canadians? 

1093
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,600
I give those memes another great
weekend of green candles. 

1094
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:16,120
OK, all right. 
And Elaine Bitcoiners find out 

1095
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:20,160
ESG is a control system even if 
the Bitcoin ESG FUD stops. 

1096
00:59:20,870 --> 00:59:24,630
Some wisdom right there. 
All right, next one by Igor. 

1097
00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:27,630
I give those memes the greatest 
rude footballer ever. 

1098
00:59:28,630 --> 00:59:30,070
Gillett. 
Who is that? 

1099
00:59:30,310 --> 00:59:33,670
You know who that is, Bert. 
Yeah, that's Gillett. 

1100
00:59:34,230 --> 00:59:37,110
Yeah, just type in Gillett and 
then you will get some great 

1101
00:59:37,110 --> 00:59:38,750
pictures of it. 
Okay, It's really. 

1102
00:59:39,860 --> 00:59:42,420
A character, OK, I I'm gonna, 
I'm gonna. 

1103
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:45,620
I don't know how to spell that. 
There was actually a really nice

1104
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:47,620
comment. 
Is he German? 

1105
00:59:47,700 --> 00:59:49,220
Dutch. 
Don't be rude. 

1106
00:59:52,220 --> 00:59:54,620
Forgive the chat, they get 
mighty sometimes. 

1107
00:59:54,700 --> 00:59:56,780
This guy with the hair, He's 
crazy. 

1108
00:59:56,780 --> 00:59:58,980
I know who this guy is. 
Isn't he amazing? 

1109
00:59:59,020 --> 01:00:01,700
Yeah, definitely. 
Yeah, he's world famous. 

1110
01:00:01,700 --> 01:00:04,820
Man, isn't he amazing? 
Yeah, yeah, this guy. 

1111
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:08,580
OK, let's pull him up. 
Little, little soccer break for

01:00:08,580 --> 01:00:10,720
a second. 
There you go. 

1113

1117
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
declared terror. 
Vendisher was on Madrid. 

1118
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,040
All the stars are aligning

Mclovin meme score.

Bitcoin Live. 

1128
01:00:56,490 --> 01:00:59,170
We appreciate y'all have an 
amazing weekend. 

1129
01:00:59,170 --> 01:01:02,690
I want to give a very, very 
special shout out and thank you 

1130
01:01:02,690 --> 01:01:07,010
so much Bert for coming on the 
show, telling your story. 

1131
01:01:07,010 --> 01:01:11,290
What you do is incredibly 
important, and I applaud you for

1132
01:01:11,290 --> 01:01:14,210
making a business out of that 
man that is incredibly 

1133
01:01:14,210 --> 01:01:17,930
inspiring, and I'm really glad 
that entrepreneurs like you are 

1134
01:01:17,930 --> 01:01:20,450
on our side. 
Thanks guys, really nice. 

1135
01:01:21,550 --> 01:01:24,910
And why don't you tell everyone?
We popped up your handle, but 

1136
01:01:24,910 --> 01:01:27,070
why don't you tell anyone for 
who's listening to the audio 

1137
01:01:27,070 --> 01:01:28,990
version where they could find 
you on the interwebs? 

1138
01:01:29,110 --> 01:01:33,590
Yeah, so at Boom Bitcoin, but 
also at Bitcoin Brabant and my 

1139
01:01:33,590 --> 01:01:36,270
personal Twitter is a BDG Burt 
the Growth. 

1140
01:01:36,590 --> 01:01:41,270
And then on Master of course at 
Burt BRT. 

1141
01:01:41,270 --> 01:01:42,830
Awesome. 
Thanks, man. 

1142
01:01:42,830 --> 01:01:44,390
Well, I really appreciate you 
joining us, bro. 

1143
01:01:44,390 --> 01:01:46,840
I appreciate it guys. 
If you enjoyed the show, you 

1144
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,400
know what to do. 
Smash that like button. 

1145
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,920
And if you feel like we provided
you value, consider subscribing.

1146
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,480
But the number one thing you 
could do to help push the 

1147
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,320
peaceful Bitcoin revolution is 
share this content. 

1148
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,360
In fact, share all Bitcoin 
content. 

1149
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,080
Don't share share coin content. 
That's counterproductive. 

1150
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,880
We'll see you back on Monday, 
12:15 PM Eastern Standard Time. 

1151
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,400
But if you want to join the 
after party, me and Opti are 

1152
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,140
going to be holding it down on 
Twitter Spaces, and hopefully 

1153
01:02:12,140 --> 01:02:14,820
Bert could join us until 2:00 PM
Eastern Standard Time. 

1154
01:02:14,820 --> 01:02:17,300
So about 40 minutes. 
It's going to be a lot of fun 

1155
01:02:17,660 --> 01:02:20,300
and you can find us on there. 
All right, guys, I will see you 

1156
01:02:20,300 --> 01:02:21,660
later. 
Peace out, everybody. 

1157
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,400
Hold on, hold on. 
I got a special special message 

1158
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,800
for you guys in the YouTube 
chat, 

1159
01:02:57,150 --> 01:03:02,870
yo. 
Man, I'm never gonna live down. 

1160
01:03:02,870 --> 01:03:05,550
I shouldn't have done the MPC 
Bitcoin meme, and I'm never 

1161
01:03:05,550 --> 01:03:08,030
gonna live that down. 
It's gonna follow me forever. 

1162
01:03:08,030 --> 01:03:09,150
It's gonna haunt me for the rest
of.
