Yo welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live or your
number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution of
the car breaking news culture, medic Warfare.
We will be your guide through the separation of money and
state very excited. It's it's the Monday show.
Also guys keep in mind on simply Bitcoin, we bring on all
bitcoiners from the biggest names that everyday Bitcoin or
if you want to come on the show, shoot us a DM on Twitter and
we'll book you in. So it's going to be an
interesting show. The mempool is completely
slammed, a lot of bitcoiners have some feelings about that.
Absolutely Bonkers but I think the signal right and I think
that this is going to Spur more Innovation on second layer
Solutions, one of which is the lightning Network and it's not
just me hypothesizing this by Nance out of all the exchanges,
right? The number one, altcoin Casino,
it's the first two minutes so I can't curse.
They basically said look, we're going to we're freezing
withdraws due to bitcoin congestion.
Yeah. But, but yeah, we, you know,
we're looking into adding the lightning Network, which I think
is a no-brainer. So, you know, if you take if you
take into account what exchanges have said, Said that there are
other adding lightning. We had Brian Armstrong of
coinbase. He mentioned it.
We have a due to Pierre. Richard's effort, we have
crackin who added lightning. We know that coin has lightning
as well. So I mean, look, all roads leads
in this direction, the beauty of this, is that the bigger the
exchange that adds lightning capability.
The market forces are basically going to push everyone else to
add Capability as well. So we're going to talk a little
bit about why the men pool is filled.
Holy cow. Do people have opinions on
ordinals? That is definitely a hot button
issue in Bitcoin right now I take the more libertarian
free-market approach. If you want to set your money on
fire on fake art or what you would consider real art, you
know, that's your opinion, you're perfectly entitled to do
that, you know, let let the free market.
Do what the free market does. I think it is a day?
It is a dangerous road. When you kind of go down the
path of basically getting to dictate what Bitcoin transaction
is allowed and what Bitcoin transaction isn't allowed.
So, you know, let the cards fall where they may and I think that
and I was saying this, I said this on, why are we bullish on
Friday with the episode that I did with btz sessions, David
Bailey and Jason Meyer? Meyer, I think that's how you
pronounce his last name. He's the author of the
progressive case for Bitcoin. And I said this, I'm like look
like If we're going to pay a hundred dollar fees if that's in
in an inevitability like so be it as long as Bitcoin stays
decentralized. And that's something that a lot
of people don't talk about, right?
If you if you make the blocks bigger, you increase the
resource requirements for the average, everyday person to run
Bitcoin, you know, run a node or run it on your computer.
And if you increase the resource requirements, you inevitably the
Unintended consequence of that is centralization because most
people will they will Outsource that and they'll use a server to
do that. So they'll use Amazon web
services, that use Google. The use Oracle, right?
You don't want that. That's, that's not to
centralization that's centralization, right?
So I'd be wary, I may keep the block size as is, I would even
say make it smaller so that more people could run their own node.
But, you know, Who Am I, who am I to say that?
I'm just a simple Bitcoin Ur. Anyways, everybody before we
start the show and I bring up my awesome co-host.
Always optimistic how you doing Opti?
How much, how much coffee have you had this morning?
Honestly, no lie. Guys, I probably drank too much.
I think I drink a whole cult pot of coffee to myself this morning
but I've been up early. I've been up way too early today
so I think I'm just about to you know, taper perfectly into the
show and not have the Jitter he's on on camera.
Ah, but hey, man, it's good to be here.
Got a lot of rest. I think I kind of folks netted
on Cinco de Mayo. I did a little golfing.
As you can see, I'm getting trolled.
In the chat already, I don't know how to golf but, you know,
I'm trying. We're learning over here, but
yeah, man, I've been watching the mental all week and it's
absolutely bananas. I was blowing.
I was blown away yesterday. I was, it was absolutely insane.
I'm still, you know, a once at Maxi over here.
And I dude, I did not want to part with sad, and I'm pretty
sure Drop a few transactions caught up in the mempool that I
should probably bump the fees on, but hey, I'm hoping I'm
hoping that, you know, I get a reasonable reasonable fee on
these transaction, but hey, I might have to bump my fees guys,
but it's gonna get crazy. Got up to like, 500 SATs this
weekend or even today. I think, I think I saw this
morning that high as well. So absolute Madness.
Hey, I don't tell their fees, just guide them on.
Special guest, she reached out over the orange peel app, which
by the way, guys, I literally, I make it my mission to go through
it every single every single week and I will respond to each
one of you. If you reach out during the,
through the orange pill. App says, hey can I come on the
show? And I said, absolutely that is
what simply Bitcoin live is all about, so Alyssa, Come to the
show. Why don't you tell everybody a
little bit about yourself? Yeah.
Hi guys. Thanks for having me on.
Yes, I love the orange pill app, so I am in Sacramento, we have a
nice Bitcoin, meet up here, we use the orange, pull up all the
time, trying to get more people to come out to our Meetup.
So it's definitely working well for us.
And then so I am a nostril native Bitcoin native never a
shit Corner except the US Taller.
So that's a little bit about me. Wow, she gets it though.
She gets it. That's enough.
That's a great introduction. Anyways, everybody.
No more delay. Let's jump straight into
numbers. We got a lot to talk about
today. Let's check it out.
The Bitcoin numbers brought to you by novel.
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 Guys, the Bitcoin conference is
literally a week away. When I say the Bitcoin
conference I'm talking about Bitcoin 2023, the largest
Bitcoin conference on planet Earth, Miami Beach, Florida.
May 18th through the 20th, not to mention all the other
satellite events happening during the week.
It is the biggest Bitcoin celebration of the year.
I call it the Bitcoin, Super Bowl weekend.
Super Bowl week. If you haven't made the
pilgrimage, I really, really First you make the trip, you
make the journey, it's freaking awesome.
You will see all, you know, your favorite bitcoiners, you will
see them in person in the flesh. And there's, there's, you can't
replace that, right? Because we all kind of, you
know, we all communicate through cyberspace, you know, we all
communicate through Twitter, but it's something about being in
person with your friends that is you can't replace that through
the internet, right? I really recommend you do the
program image in terms of speakers they announced Robert F
Kennedy, Junior presidential He's currently in second place.
Trilling, Joe Biden. So there's a nonzero chance.
We will have a pro Bitcoin president in the White House and
anti Central Bank. Digital currency president in
the White House in 2024, two, nonzero chance, and, that makes
me incredibly bullish. We have Michael Lewis, he's the
author of The Big Short. Moneyball, of course, the Chad,
sailor. Arthur Hays.
Alex gladstein Tulsi, gabbard we have Adam back, Jack mahler's,
Senator Cynthia, lummis, Stacey her Berlin.
Alden Dylan Leclair and many, many more Opti and I are going
to be holding it down on the analyst desk.
I think I'm going to be on a couple panels as well.
It's going to be the biggest Bitcoin celebration of the year.
You definitely don't want to miss it Bitcoin 2023 and you can
use the promo code simply to get yourself a big discount on the
tickets at the time of recording.
The Bitcoin price is twenty seven thousand nine hundred and
thirty SATs per dollar 3580. Block height 700.
The 1809 reachable Bitcoin node seventeen thousand ninety six
blocks to having 50 1191 having estimates April. 23rd, 2023
total lightning network capacity, 5,000 388 Bitcoin,
capacity value, 150 million. U.s. dollars the realized
monetary inflation rate is 1.75 percent and the market
capitalization currently of Bitcoin.
It's at Forty billion dollars in the grand scheme of things.
Bitcoin is still a baby Anika before you go on.
I think we're going to have to add fees per block at this
point, dude. Just just to keep not.
Yeah, that everything got, you know, what?
I know Odell is very strong with his predictions about the
mempool not not clearing. Actually, I can because I think
it's gonna clear. Look, Bitcoin has been in this
position, so I'm not quite like this.
Okay. I have to be fair.
This one is a little crazy but you know you are also speaking
to someone who's cheering on bring on the hundred dollar
transactions. Right?
Anyway so I just turned to me stir.
I'm sure you got your bitcoiners.
You guys know who this man is has done incredible work for
Bitcoin and it's interesting he's talking about Xavier Emily.
Who is currently the FrontRunner for the Argentinian presidential
election, right? Right?
So you have a country whose currently enduring 104 percent
inflation, a country who got bailed out by the IMF and one of
the Clauses was, hey, hey, you know, you have to will give you
these SDR, it's of which you can print out a thin air.
We will bail you out but you must be incentivize the adoption
of Bitcoin. Obviously that doesn't work
because Bitcoins incentives. Stay winning.
He did this great thread. Basically you know explaining
Who this guy is, and I just want to go through it.
I really, really enjoyed it. When I read this over the
weekend, it says a pro. Bitcoin candidate is leading the
polls in. Argentina are recent Bitcoin
reports speculated on exactly. This says they he says quote a
similar Dynamic is playing out in Latin America.
Argentina is Central Bank recently ran out of dollars in
the country. Once more is veering towards
hyperinflation well it's next president run on a pro Bitcoin
ticket other countries in the region have noticed how
Salvador's vocal Bitcoin stank has unnerved.
IMF and some Elites are considering Bitcoin adoption as
a way to Garner, more political Independence on the
international stage for example in Guatemala, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua and Colombia. So like the and and again this
isn't just happening in Argentina.
This is happening in the US as well as why I mentioned Robert F
Kennedy jr. Rhonda Sanchez came out with
another video bashing Central Bank, digital currencies of
which I have the clip for you guys to check it out.
Have a successful economy if every aspect of it ends up being
politicized. And so we said that's not going
to work for our pension system in the State of Florida.
It's not going to work for credit ratings and we're not
going to let them impose social credit scores on Floridians.
So that their ability to obtain credit is somehow related to
whether they're Towing and ideological line.
Florida. Also LED and saying, you know,
we do not recognize, it's not there yet, but they want to do
it. Central Bank, digital currency,
you want them being able to monitor every single
transaction, you make as a citizen.
I know, I don't want that. So I mean, we talk about the
Bitcoin, Echo chamber lat, right?
And, you know, they're not quite there.
I mean, maybe have your Miley the presidential candidate in
Argentina, he's like there's Bitcoin.
Okay. And the and the central bank
after that, but I always say this, right?
Like all roads lead to bitcoin, right?
Like you Identify Central Bank is the problem.
You identify that Central Bank, digital currencies are going to
lead inevitably to totalitarianism, look at China,
right? And then they're like, no we
won't do. I love how the, you know, opt
he's ex-girlfriend frames it right?
Like will allow a bit of privacy you know like if it's under a
certain amount like we won't check your transaction and it's
like, you know, like a guy has a gun to your head and it's like
look, I will not use that gun metaphorically, of course.
If you know, like, you do everything right?
And it's like, but history has shown that governments time and
time again. If you give them the power, they
will abuse that power in order to protect their political Mo.
Like they do it over and over and over and over and over
again. So, like, it comes to a point
where like, what is the definition of insanity trying
the same thing and expecting different results?
Like maybe it's true, maybe it's a crazy idea.
Maybe it's time to try something different.
Front. But the thing is that this this
time that we're trying something different, you know, for the
political class, that get a tremendous amount of power from
being able, basically, to issue money for free, and then they'll
say like, know, the feds independent look every single
time. Congress is like, hey, you know,
we're passing this bill trillion dollar deficit, doesn't matter
if the FED foots the bill. Every time they just print the
money, they create out of thin air.
Right? So it's like, what?
Like yeah. It's independent and dependent
my ass anyways. So here is the current election,
you know, poles? Right in this guy's actually
leading the races. This is nuts, right?
This is nuts. And it keep in mind like I love
El Salvador. I think El Salvador is the beach
at the beachhead for all this. I think 19 bouquet is doing is
so freaking important, but Argentina is a massive country,
right? So like if literally sky does
not mess around, this is maleeh posing in front of the Gadsden
flag, which are rated it originated in 1775 for audio
listeners. It's the yellow flag to says,
don't tread on me. The professor, says he decided
to pursue your pursue a career in economics when he experienced
hyperinflation at the age of 12. It's interesting too.
Because honestly there, Is there is an I read about the day wrote
about this incidental 21. There is a series of events that
the 2008 financial crisis, really affected my family
economically. And I think that really kind of
unsettled me and maybe I I did not trust the system.
So you know again it's like when people endure pain they start
asking questions. Anyways he goes on to say here's
advice reporting on my Lee's plan.
Stabilize Argentina's economy, the paper struggles to place his
philosophy saying, quote, he's been compared to Donald Trump,
but in a version of that, unlike the u.s. president doesn't
defend protectionism. And I do Dan honestly, bro, I
like, if Xavier, malisse, a Libertarian, right?
Which I am myself, right? Anyways, it goes on to say as
inflation rages around the world.
People begin to clamor for sound politically neutral money.
What's Happening Here in Latin America today at goes desires
from um post WWII Europe. Here's another quote from our
Bitcoin report says quote, we consider it.
This is a quote from Charles de Gaulle.
He was a huge political figure during World War 2, when, when
the Nazis invaded France and he was not part of the Vici
government. He, he fled the country and when
France was liberated, He became the first president.
So Charles de Gaulle is a huge deal.
The international airport in Paris or the old one is named
after this, man. So this guy's a huge deal in
France. And he goes on to say, the
quote, we consider it necessary that International Trade be
established, as it was the case before the great misfortunes of
the world on an indisputable monetary base.
And one that and one that does not bear the mark of any
particular country. And I'll ask you guys like, who
do you? What?
What currency is best suited for that because if it's not, you
know, separated from State, I think it will inevitably be
co-opted, right? So, you know, Bitcoin is rules
without rulers. It doesn't care where you're
from, doesn't care, whether you're from North Korea, South
Dakota Montana or Afghanistan, Cuba, right?
If you can download a Bitcoin wallet and use a Bitcoin wallet,
Bada-bing bada-boom, right? You can now earn Bitcoin.
You can now transact with anyone around the world, you don't even
need an. You don't even need to know
their name and they you know these these people would like
you to believe that if you had that type of system the world
would you know catch on fire spontaneously.
Right. And I would like to say I think
they're wrong and I think it's time to try something different.
I think their system you couldn't you can't tell to
success maybe it's a success to the very wealthy.
But the lower and middle classes that are the people that pay the
price for inflation because they don't have the means to save an
assets. Therefore they don't benefit
from asset inflation. They get poor and this is the
vast majority of the world like enough is enough.
It's time to ties. It's time to try something
different. It's time to try time to try
Bitcoin and you want to know how I know we're winning.
Look at how the IMF responded to El Salvador.
Look at how the IMF bonded to Argentina will bail you out, but
you have to stop Bitcoin. You have to stop Bitcoin.
Look at how the United Nations responded to when look at look
at their calls to action developing nations.
Like we must stop. We just we must stop the
adoption of Bitcoin and developing nations because it
risks those Nations losing monetary sovereignty and then
you kind of have to ask yourself.
Like, what does that mean? Like what like Are there they're
kind of changing the definitions.
Like what does monetary sovereignty actually mean?
What is financial stability actually mean because if you use
your common sense, you'd be like oh it's obviously monetary
sovereignty. Oh obviously Financial
stability. No know what they actually mean.
Is financial stability for them. What they actually mean is
monetary sovereignty for them as long as they keep control.
Yeah, it's monetary sovereignty, what I'm advocating.
In for is what about individuals monetary sovereignty?
I think that's where we should be going, because clearly there
system has failed us. It has failed the millennial
generation, it has failed, the Zoomer generation, we are poorer
than our parents. If you're under the age of 35,
you can't own anything. Their own propaganda.
At this point, the concealing are conference, which I call the
world economic Forum. They're literally tell you
they're literally telling you you'll Nothing and be happy.
And it's like, okay, but who's going to own everything?
They will. That's what they want, right?
So, yeah, enough is enough. It's time for a Bitcoin standard
and I think politicians around the world are waking up to this
reality. In the United States, at least
you have the second place for the Republican Presidential
candidacy. Ron, DeSantis halfway there and
you have Robert F, Kennedy jr. On the Democratic side.
Bipartisan, absolutely love it. He's there as well.
Can't stop this. Thing Bitcoins incentives,
stayed winning. Get on the train.
Maybe. Maybe, maybe it's a good idea to
get some just in case it catches on anyways, Opti, what are your
thoughts on this? And then we'll pass it on to
Alyssa. Well first, just on the last
thing there is no second best. So I mean why are the the
political candidates that seemingly are endorsing Bitcoin
are in second place. This doesn't make any sense to
me, but I think this is something we talked about girl
for now, I know for now I'm in five years, so be there because
I let me make my point no beep. Indoors.
I mean that's that's what I was going to say.
I think it's something we've been watching lately on the
show. It does seem like the political
tide is changing. And and in our Direction now is
bitcoiners, at least freedom and CBC coined and total
surveillance of your transactions are becoming a
point of contention, and obviously maybe not this having
but the next one we're going to definitely be the center of the
conversation. So it really Makes me hopeful to
know that, at least some politician still stand by their
oath. They took when they got in
office to uphold the Constitution and the freedoms of
the people, they represent obviously as of now it is just
kind of lip service and we'll see what actually happened if
they do get elected and you know moving forward what will
actually happen but how do you say his name Meal?
A what's his name? Miguel a Malay.
Did you see one of those screenshots you shitting on John
Maynard Keynes? Like I kind of like this guy I
think he kind of gets it so But I think I'm not, I haven't fully
verified this but a lot of people have been kind of telling
me that he is angling a little more towards dollarization.
So he's not fully a bit Corner yet but I think he's he gets the
problem and now it's just up to us bitcoiners to continue to
push the solution which is guys, it is Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the way and obviously having a money that isn't
controlled by a small. Cabal of people is better for
most people on planet Earth. It's just part of the signal
that we're Going to have to continuously beat the drum on.
Yeah, 100%. Alyssa.
What's your take on this? Yeah, so I think Opti said it,
Bitcoin is the solution and I look at these YouTube videos of
the, all these people that have went to El Salvador and they
seem so happy, they're living on a Bitcoin standard.
And I want that for us in America as well.
I don't see why that can't happen.
Obviously, the CBC is not the solution.
We already have the solution, it's just getting it out to
other people. People in our community, they
don't know there's an alternative yet.
Yeah, 100%. It's really about getting that
getting that message out there and really staying away from the
left and right dichotomy, the left and right, you know, which
I really truly believe in my heart.
It's like this divide and conquer strategy by the elites
or like they distract you. It's like all your economic.
Woes are caused by the Republicans.
All your economic woes are caused by the rats.
And it's like, it really falls down to us bitcoiners because
bitcoiners of the Vanguard of this of this movement, right?
It's like dude it's not left to right?
It's like it's party Orange versus party green.
It's the people that want to support people that want to
force you to use money that steals from you versus the
people that are advocating for money that not only does it not
steal from you but it actually increases in purchasing power
over time, right? And we just got to wake people
up to this. Reality.
And the thing is about when the money breaks, you know, as the
case with Argentina is when people start asking those very
difficult questions and they say, hey wait a second, like,
I've heard this before, I've heard this a million times, you
know, it's try. It's time to try something
different and the, the, in the fascinating case of El Salvador
is El Salvador, went through a 30 year Civil War, right?
So, it got to a point where even nice bouquet Lee's political D.
It's called my best idea and noisy this which is new ideas,
right? So it's like we voted for the
same two political parties and nothing.
Nothing was fixed. Let's try something new and them
trying something new. Look at the results, right?
You have record you have crime at record low levels, you have
record, GDP growth in my opinion.
And I'm totally biased about this.
I think the fact that they they made they adopted a Bitcoin
standard Word is helping the country in ways of which, we
can't really quite put our finger on.
But like the comparison that I would make is You've been here
for a while. If your new Bitcoin, right?
Has Bitcoin improved your life since you've moved to a Bitcoin
standard has Bitcoin improved your life.
Yes, or no. Now, imagine if a whole country
goes through that is it a coincidence that that country
starts achieving a level of peace and prosperity?
Is that a coincidence? What about on the public company
front with Michael sailor, right?
Is it a coincidence that Michael Sailors company?
Is, you know, outperforming all the tech stocks that SNP 500
that he adopted a Bitcoin standard is that a coincidence,
right? These are these are, you know,
you could say no Nico. That's a totally a coincidence.
But I'm telling you these coincidences are going to be
undeniable. When during the next having
public companies and nation states are going to have no
choice. But to look at what's happening
in El Salvador, what's happening with microstrategy and say one
thing Soto. She said it very very long time
ago. Maybe it's a good idea to get
some just in case this thing really does catch on right.
Anyways, that's my take on that. All right, guys.
No more delay. Let's jump straight into news.
We got a lot to talk about this. Check it out.
The Daily News, The Daily News is brought to you by block

give a shout-out to the orange pill, app stack friends, who
Stacks SATs this is, this is how Alyssa came on the show because
she downloaded the app and then she sent us a message.
So, definitely download the orange pill app, it allows you
to connect with fellow bitcoiners in your area.
If you guys are like me, I'm I Like I hang out with my Normie
friends I do and I love them as much as I love them.
We're on a completely different operating system, it they're
thinking and Fiat terms, right? I'm thinking in Bitcoin terms,
it's crazy, right? So you start to like you know,
it's not that you don't relate to them, it's you know, you
you're operating on a completely different mindset, right?
I think the Fiat mindset, it's this it you think it breeds
nihilism and I think the Bitcoin mindset really breeds optimism,
right? So you you want to Stack more
friends that are on this optimistic mindset and the
orange pill app is perfect for that.
It's also the number one resource for Bitcoin, only
events and I'm sure you're going to be going.
A lot of you guys are going to be going to Miami and your day
is going to be full of amazing speakers and talks.
But what you going to be doing at night?
There's literally nothing worse than being in a city.
Full of bitcoiners. Not only a city being in Miami,
which is going to be full of bitcoiners during that time and
you're in your hotel room watching TV, download the orange
pill app Bitcoiners see what Bitcoin events are going to be
happening. So do it today but you still
have normally friends, Nico, dude.
I mean, I still do, I still do? But like, yeah, I totally get
what you're trying to infer when you say that, anyways, alright,
let's talk about what's happening.
No. But first, I have to have to
give a little bit of context because, like, I don't think the
article really does this Justice.
This is men put on my God, look at and look at the Red, Bro.
Okay, like there is for 148 thousand transactions in the
mental right now. Wait, can you click the last
block? Nico, which one this one.
Now that one on the other side of the line this one or this
one. I don't know what color is it?
Purple? Or blue.
Blue. Purple.
Okay, click that button.
Click it. And I scroll down.
Medium. Get the actual blocks.
Look at all the like, hover over those little tiny ones, and you
can see Yeah, there's a someone guys.
Someone's someone got away with a dollar.
How'd they do that? Yeah, there's so so many of
these BRC 20s transactions in. That's crazy.
You can see on the 546, someone paid, $143 brother, holy crap,
someone paid $212 someone paid 178 Niko's.
Dream is coming, true? Okay, bring on its artificial,
though. It's artificial though.
It is somewhat You see ya? Yo, 1890, dollars someone played
in Block fees. This is nuts.
Anyways.
All right. So why is this happening?
I think this decrypt article does a great job at explaining
it also, not to mention. This is a very contentious
issue. Right now in the community, a
lot of people have very strong feelings about it.
Some people are saying that this is an attack.
And they. And to be honest with you, like
the logic behind saying that, I don't think it was very bad
logic either. So we shall wait and see.
Anyways, the Bitcoin quadrant of crypto Twitter was abuzz with or
you could just say Bitcoin Twitter was abuzz with concern
on Sunday as some users. So high transaction fees and a
congested backlog of transactions as an attack on
bitcoin, there are currently over, which is much higher.
Now there Only over 400, I'll add the new number 488493 didn't
have been confirmed in Bitcoins men pool, as of this writing
before, transactions are added to Bitcoins, blockchain
transactions are sent to the Network's men pool where they
wait to be selected by a Bitcoin miner and insert it into
Bitcoins. Next block Bitcoin transaction
fees were also quite high with high priority transactions,
commanding a rate of around $26, the two.
So only only afford Accent own egos.
Dream comes true. The two metric suggested, the
Bitcoins network was. And again, I'm not being an
asshole. When I say this, I just I know
that if that becomes an eventuality, what that's going
to do is it's going to Spur Innovation on the lightning
Network. The likes of which has never
seen before because it becomes an issue, it becomes a problem,
right? From my understanding, the birth
of the lightning network was one of the motivations behind.
It was Network congestion. In 2017, right?
So like you know, if you're if you stay complacent, right?
You have no incentive to change. You have no incentive to
innovate, right? So I'm so optimistic about
lightning like a lightning is not a perfect solution, it has
trade-offs, right? But this spur, this gets the
brightest Minds in the space and it forces them to try to come up
with the solution to a real problem, right?
Because the reality is that what happens?
If we go to a hundred dollar transaction fees, it kind of
prices out, a lot of people, right?
So anyways, so it goes on to say, quote, high transactions.
Fees are chosen are the chosen pain Point by the attacker,
probably to make a Bitcoin and usable for small players.
You know, just something I mentioned earlier, here's
Frances pouliot and I think this is like one of like the most
interesting things. So like he posted a meme which I
think is really worthwhile because it explains it
perfectly. It's like the old men like Like
the old Elite men, you have like Ronald Reagan like you know,
these ex-presidents in there. You guys know the template and
it says and then we told them quote, it's a free market just
outbid us, you know? And then here is like the very
interesting, very interesting, you know, Theory of what an
attack is. Right?
So it says, if I was evil, I work for the government.
Give me 10 million dollars, Bitcoin unusable for months.
Nobody would know. I just meant an infinite and
infinite shit coins on BRC 20, call it quote, free market, use
The bitcoiners Narrative of censorship, resistant, free
market and permissionless anise against them.
I mean, you know, and again, I'm telling you, this is good.
That people are thinking this way because your Thinking from
an adversarial standpoint like okay, holy crap, you know, think
of it like, Bitcoins under attack because that's going to
force. You gonna Force you.
The inevitable. Consequence of this is it's
going to force you to try to come up with solutions, to try
to come up with Innovations. And then, one thing that I also
mentioned, and I said this on a cafe Bitcoin spaces, Everyone
was very quick to add Taproot when Taproot was necessary in
order to add that to to add this new functionality, right?
We should be very, very wary of asking of changing Bitcoin.
There's unintended consequences if people foresaw, this would be
an unintended consequence of adding Taproot.
I don't think so many people would have jumped on the train
so quickly, right? So we have to be very, very
wary. We shouldn't move fast and break
things. We should move very slowly and
not break things with this is the base late.
This is we want Bitcoin to be the base layer of the world,
right? You want that base layer to be
functioning and working very, very well.
Anyways, that's my take on that. So it goes on to say one
Twitter, user name, Toma 732 pointing out that clogging up
Bitcoins mempool, mainly benefits miners quote, who have,
who are having a blast while In the rewards associated with
higher transaction fees despite what some are labeling an attack
on bitcoiners. That's right.
There's it's getting to the point that the current bitcoin
block, subsidy the block fees are, you're making more and
block fees than you are making From the Block subsidy which is
absolutely Bonkers. Absolutely insane.
The account claimed that it was only a matter of time before
those flooding Bitcoin mempool with transactions, run out of
money, making an impact on the network short-lived and I Agree
with you but also from you have to think from an adversarial
stand up point of view think about what Francis says.
And remember that government specifically the US government
has a money printer. So if it just costs them ten
million dollars. They they, you know, they print
Jerome Powell like, doesn't even have to press the P but he could
think of it and it would just Boop pop out of thin air, right?
It's not that much money for governments with the money
printer anyways. So he goes on to say, still
others attributed, the uptick in transaction fees and Bitcoin
side, sizable backlogs to ordinals a protocol used for
minting nft like assets on bitcoin called inscriptions the
total number of Bitcoin based digital assets.
Cruised past four point three million on Sunday.
According to a dune dashboard just last week, inscriptions
total 2.5 million. So, it literally almost doubled.
Anyways, and I was talking about the unintended consequences, so,
and I was saying I'm like, look the unintended consequences are
Dang, right? Because it forces Innovation at
forces people's hands Yours by Nance right?
The largest shit coin casino on planet Earth right now.
And they tweeted this out over the weekend or maybe on Friday
or Thursday said we've temporarily closed Bitcoin
withdraws to the large volume of pending transactions.
Our team is currently working on a fix and will reopen Bitcoin
withdrawals as soon as possible. Rest assured funds are safe.
Ooh, there's a large volume of withdrawal transactions from
Finance still pending as our set fees.
Did not anticipate the recent surge in Bitcoin Network, gas
fees. Our team is working to
accelerate the confirmation of all pending transactions will
provide update here goes on to say, we're replacing the pending
Bitcoin withdrawal transactions with the higher fee, so that
they get picked up by mining pools.
We aim to reopen Bitcoin withdrawals in the next hour and
they goes on to say, Bitcoin withdrawals are now resumed on
finance, but I think the signal out of all, this is really the
second to last Our graph, it says to prevent a similar
recurrence in the future, our fees have been adjusted.
We will continue to monitor on chain activity and adjust
accordingly if needed. And I think here's the signal
out of all this, our team has also been working on enabling
Bitcoin lightning Network withdraws which will help in
such situations, right? So again, you know, the fees
went up and that forced by Nance to add lightning, which is
interesting, right, because lightning kind of Eels, a lot of
the narratives, a lot of those shit coins, right?
It's Bitcoins to slow the coins too expensive.
Well, you know, again, I think maybe I have an unpopular
opinion. Yeah.
So be it, let's bring up a hundred dollar, transaction
fees. So be it fine because that is
just going to Spur Innovation, to fix that problem.
The likes of which have we have never seen before.
You have, we have some of the brightest Minds in the world.
You know, looking to solve this problem, looking to solve this
issue and of course, my money's on them, right?
So yeah, maybe it is an unpopular opinion.
Maybe a lot of you guys are like Nico.
You're an asshole hundred dollar fee.
Like, what the fuck? Like goddamn elitist.
What's going on with you? But I would just beg you to just
look at the bigger picture. Look, look at what happened over
the weekend, right? This literally got by Nance, the
evil shit coin, casino to say. We're going to add lightning
because it No, we're trying to fix this problem, right?
So, you know and if this didn't happen, do you think they would
have said something right with the lightning Network?
Really be here if this wasn't a problem in the first place,
right? So I want you know, it's good
when these things happen and maybe that's an unpopular
opinion. Maybe maybe it's an elitist
opinion that I that I'm calling for hundred dollar fees and I
apologize if you think that is but I would ask you to To zoom
out and look at the bigger picture.
And I think that all of this is just another stress test of
Bitcoin. And what doesn't kill the honey
badger. Makes the honey badger stronger.
Anyways Opti, what's your take on this and then we'll pass it
on to Alyssa? Yeah, well, you know, seeing the
fees above the Box, subsidy just shows that Bitcoin will work
long-term and I know maybe I kind of do feel like this is
premature, and it's a little bit, artificial blow on the
chain. And I know that's a Tension
stake for some people but it just shows that that Bitcoin
works and in the fees going up, shows that Bitcoin works as
well. And while lightning isn't a
Panacea scaling vertically is the only way we are actually
going to get, you know, billions and billions of people on the
Bitcoin Network. You know?
The shit Corner - oh my seven transactions per second.
Like guys, we already know this. What's the how finny quote like
Bitcoin transactions will be a scarce in the future as they are
today because it'll be high powered money you know
personally on a Some level while this does feel like an attack.
It does feel like spam bloating the blockchain.
Hey like shouts out to the minors, they're getting paid.
So I'm happy for them. They're making money right now.
And that's why I kind of mention on the mempool space the visuals
to kind of. Look at all those little 546 set
transactions that are paying ridiculous fees.
Again, we are all rational well rational economic actors here.
So in time, I think they will get priced out and hey, If
people want to burn money right now yeah it is going to
eventually make Bitcoin stronger in the short term.
I think it's kind of like the standard Bitcoin meme of like
just zoom out lower your time preference and all that good
stuff. I really do think that this is
going to be a fad. It will pass in time but you
know it's just one of those things.
Like, are we going to see the mempool?
Clear again, I think I think we will and it's only going to be a
matter of time. Personally I kind of got caught
with my pants down because I closed my lightning node.
My lightning channel is about a They're so back.
So, I'm kind of sitting here, like, man, I didn't, I didn't do
any proper you txo consolidation, proper you to
excel hygiene because I thought, I had more time and there's just
a standard Bitcoin mean where it's like, I can do this in a
couple of days and a couple of months were fine.
I think everyone is kind of on the same page where it's like.
Okay. I thought this was going to
happen later than sooner but hey here we are.
The time frame has gotten sped up and I think this is just
something that we have to acknowledge and like you Well,
okay, personally, I want to see Bitcoin be used for monetary
transactions and, but, hey, I'm a free market Maxi.
And if they want to spend money to inscribe or, you know,
whatever BRC 20 stamp data into the blockchain, like, who am I?
I'm just a person. I'm going to just have to
out-compete them with my fees. So you know what, we see one
step for use again, I really hope so, but we can stay solvent
a lot longer than they can. Stay deej end.
And again, I just hope people prepared for this.
I saw the mat Adele me, my actually I think I put it in the
meme of you like you did prepare for this, right.
I think a lot of people didn't prepare for this, but connecting
this with the finance news, I think lightning is
non-negotiable moving forward. And I think any exchange that
doesn't have lightning at this point, is going to kind of have
to kick that into high gear as we start moving forward, as we
get into this next Bull Run. I think everyone should have
some kind of lightning connected to their exchange.
So that when we do on board the newbies out there, we're Not
sitting here like, oh yeah, you know, your transaction will take
whatever and the fees are extremely high.
But again I think this just shows that the true price of
freedom is currently or was currently under priced and kind
of to Niko's point you know maybe the hundred dollar fees
will be in the long term the true price of transacting freely
on a decentralized network and that's just something that we're
all going to have to live with. And then, you know, they'll PSA
do other shit, coin. D, James out there.
I know a lightning. Isn't the Panacea, but hey, use
Liquid. That's like literally what it
was made for guys like quit spamming my blockchain.
But again, you know it's not my blockchain.
I'm just a user of the network. So it's just it's just something
we're gonna have to move forward to.
But hey can we all acknowledge that by Nance tweet of them
talking about the Bitcoin gasps? He's like what is going on
there? The the Twitter in turn over
there at by nanotubes to get that.
I hate. You know what?
I hate the phrase. Framing where they're like, oh,
you know, it's Bitcoins congested.
Like like it kind of infers like, it broke because I
remember them using, like, very similar language to like, when
like Solana actually breaks, it's like, no, it's not the
same, it's not the same, it's not the same.
But again, I think the Silver Lining to all this is that, you
know, these uncomfortable situation forces, the market
forces forces, these players to come up with Solutions and - is
like, look, we're gonna have to add lightning like that's just a
he of it, you know, and, you know, it's as uncomfortable as
it is for us bitcoiners that, you know, are Bitcoin only like
You know, ask yourself would buy Nance, how could you have ever
imagined by Nan saying this if they weren't forced to be put in
this position in the first place, right?
And I think if you have Kraken, if you have by Nance, it's just
going to force all the other shit, coin casinos to follow
suit. It's going to Force Gemini, it's
going to force coinbase. It's going to force eventually
Robin Hood. Then of course, all these
networks do the same and then You know, it starts to become a
point where Bitcoin is really it is really it's faster.
Let the lightning is faster and cheaper than any of these shit
coin Alternatives and all the narratives of like oh no
everything has to be on the main chain, right?
Anyways Alyssa what's your take on all this?
Yeah, so two things one I think focusing on the Bitcoin.
Only exchanges strikes Juan we don't need these other exchanges
that are way behind don't even have a Thing in place yet.
So and then the second thing, running a lightning node so
Bitcoin only Sactown our meetup group.
We just had a presentation done by a member on how to run your
own lightning node or running a node for our group so that we
can transact with each other. We sold some avocados.
We had a Bitcoin Merchants sell some mugs to group members and
it works. Its instant.
Yeah, 100%. And that's I think that's really
the signal they write, is that At Bitcoin works, right?
You know, the lightning network works.
Anyways, oh boy, I'm excited for the culture.
But before we get into the culture, guys, I want to give a
shout out to bit plates, guys. Don't don't store your Bitcoins,

talking about today, brother? Well, we're going to feature
Alyssa. So let's just start with the
fact that you are a core organizer to your local Meetup.
Where can people find your Meetup when do you guys meet up?
All that good stuff? Yeah, so I'll post it in the
notes, I guess in the show notes, but yeah, we're just on
meet up right now. Orange pill, a WE Post our
events, Twitter, Noster, all of it.
And then we meet up, at least two or three times a month,
right now, we're running a coffee meet up and education and
just like a social, grab a beer, and talk about Bitcoin.
So we're really trying to grow our community.
Grassroots, trying to talk to vendors at farmer's markets and
go around to local businesses, talk about Bitcoin just doing
what we can. Awesome.
So on Mita. What do you what do they search
Sactown? Bitcoin.
Is that what you call? It Bitcoin only Sactown.
There's a crypto groups. We had to differentiate
ourselves. Oh man.
How many people have have been? At your group lately?
We usually run about 20, people per event.
So I know we're missing a lot because I'm like, this is a big
city, so we just have to reach other people.
They don't know where we are yet.
I guess. Love it.
Well hopefully we can get you some more people there but I
think. One of the interesting points
when I did try to search you this morning, I realized you're
not on Twitter or anything, but I find it interesting that
you're on Noster. So how do you like Noster and
you're not on any social media at all myself?
Yeah, I'm only on Noster. I'm not on any other social
media personally, not my thing. Wow.
A unicorn in this day and age. Amazing.
So how do you like Noster? I like it.
I'm not on there all the time, just slowly trying.
To follow more people. I guess it's hard to find the
public keys for other people to find them, but I think it's
going to grow and it's going to get easier.
So yeah, let's start, yeah. All right.
Well our show I can only guess is mainly guys in the chat and
there's the running meme in Bitcoin of, we need more women
in Bitcoin. So, what's your thoughts on this
Alyssa? Yeah, I think we do have some
really cool women, Lynn Alden, Natalie Brunell and Just getting
more of us out into the public eye because I think we do exist
for sure but no it is very male-dominated right now but I
don't see why we can't have more women.
I 100% agree. So have you orange killed your
friends or do they do they think you're crazy Bitcoin.
ER, what's going on over there? Yeah, I'm working on it slowly
but surely and I think it's the fact that letting them know that
I am a Bitcoin Iran. That's what I'm doing period.
So they can come to me when they get to the point.
So they know I'm available. I'm a great resource.
So I'm trying not to push too hard for some people, tedious.
I tell everyone all the time. Sometimes, you gotta in set, the
idea without actually, saying the b word because instantly
pushes people off, and just like, showing people that there
is a problem right now. So absolutely love it.
Let's see what else do we got over here.
Okay. You got you hit Nico on Noster
orange pillow. What's your thoughts on building
your local community and having bitcoiners in real life that you
can hang out with? Yeah, I think it's great.
I love meeting up with other bitcoiners in real life.
I was in Yosemite over the weekend and I messaged a Bitcoin
or they're on orange pill app so you're going to find them
everywhere on Orangeville app which is cool.
And then I think I did message Nico on Noster but yeah and then
I think the nice thing about orange pill app to is just you
can meet people anywhere. So I'm going to go to bit block,
boom, looking forward to it. I hope I can see you guys there,
and hopefully, we'll be able to message people and make some
connections to meet up when I'm there as well.
Yeah, we'll definitely be a bit block.
Boom. You did tell us.
I don't know where they got this to Nico, but you are looking for
a job in Bitcoin. What are you trying to do?
What else do you have? What's what's the end goal here?
Yeah. So I actually a shout-out meet
Mafia, I kind of their I'm interested in that and then
Texas Slim, So I'm a registered dietician so I'm really
interested in nutrition preventing chronic diseases so
and I'd love to just be on a fool, Bitcoin standard, get paid
in Bitcoin, transaction, Bitcoin, and just be done with
the US dollar because it doesn't have any value for me
whatsoever. Wow.
Absolutely. Love it.
So, to all the guys in the chat, I'm sure they're wondering.
Are you a carnivore? No.
So my Approach is more Whole Foods.
Meat is a whole food, so it counts, but I think just overall
Whole Foods, so things that are minimally processed fruits,
vegetables, nuts, Dairy. Okay.
Alright. So I don't know, are you taking
on some customers or you? You need some you have some some
like courses out there. I'm sure.
We'll pay you in sad for those. Yeah, and so that's something
I'm really looking into right now, I am working my Fiat job
and I would love to get away from it because it is a little
depressing. I basically try to help people
with obesity diabetes, chronic kidney disease and hypertension
daily and the onslaught is never ending and I think Bitcoins
going to fix the Health Care System long-term.
But right now the incentives are very broken.
The industrial food. Food system has really created
this environment of obesity and this is based on government
regulations that have allowed this to happen.
Absolutely amazing. As I think everyone is has a
huge crush on you and they are asking me if you're single, but
don't answer that if you don't want to.
I think it's just them trolling. So man, really, really breath of
fresh air to have you come on the show, but hey, what would
you tell the ladies? If there's some girls out there,
they're Loosely on the edge, they maybe just found the show
by chance or not fully bitcoind, yet they just kind of have like,
I don't know, maybe their boyfriends telling them to watch
the show or whatever, what is your orange pill?
You know, speech your elevator pitch.
I think gosh, all right, well you guys get it and I love
seeing people around my age Millennials.
I do tell people I know, we're never going to own.
Anything, there's no comparison to like our grandparents in the
amount that they were able to own and assets.
We have these student loans, we have a broken economic system
that we have been given. And so Bitcoins going to fix
this and the signal is very strong, it simply Bitcoin.
And that's why I would even direct women this way.
Just because all you are going to get is the Bitcoin signal
here, absolutely love it. Yeah, one of the things that I
saw in the message this morning and it's something Sell the time
and Nico kind of gets mad. At me all the time is, spreading
the Bitcoin propaganda. I just like that message and I'm
glad that you used it as well. What's your thoughts on
spreading the fighting fire with fire?
And, you know, we know the corporate press is giant
propaganda machine and we just do a little part to spread that
signal. So I'm glad that you appreciate
the propaganda. What's your ideas on the?
Just the message that Bitcoin signal is propaganda yeah, and I
only like Bitcoin propaganda so But I nutrition-wise, I wanted
to shout out Opti you are fasting the other week and
that's kind of one of the things I've been talking about to not
these crazy fast but just like a nice 12 hour fast.
Getting back to the basics. Yeah, I mean I normally do
intermittent fast like that's what I do.
I I'm pretty much on like oh mad one meal a day but one of my
friends inspired me. I'm like okay, I'm going to do a
36-hour fast here. We'll see if I can incorporate
those more, you know. Generally in my diet, but I'm
pretty much a carnivore over here.
It Miss for intermittent fasting.
Yeah, but they found intermittent fasting.
Really does improve and prevent chronic diseases, so, it's
really great that you're doing that for yourself.
Well, I say it all the time, we got to be fit, mentally,
physically, and spiritually. Because we are in a monetary war
and they want you weak poor, not owning anything.
So, Alyssa continue to spread the signal.
I hope you get a A coin job. I hope maybe you become your own
your own Bitcoin boss cuz you're really on the mission and like I
think everyone, I'm speaking for everyone in the chat, you really
are one of the unicorns out there not on social media, a
Bitcoin, ER, and eating healthy kudos to you and chefs out to
what's it. Bitcoin only Sactown.
I hope we can get more people there for you.
Yeah, sounds great. Thanks guys.
Let's go Nika. Jump in.
You got a question comment. Yeah, absolutely.
So, you know Alyssa it's people like you.
It's is And, you know, of course, we all have to push
forward right as a group, you know, you know, Fighting For
Fighting For Freedom fighting to push the peaceful Bitcoin
Revolution forward. But it, you know, I want to
highlight the importance of individuals doing this, right?
And I also want to highlight the fact that you don't need to be a
content creator. You don't need to be a Twitter
influencer. You don't need to have a large
account, I say this all the time, I said this at Bitcoin.
20:22 every tweet and every meme counts.
The metaphor I used is, you know, tweet, if tweets are
bullets memes. Artillery in this narrative.
Trench warfare that we're fighting on the Battlegrounds of
the internet and this is an all-encompassing War, right?
This is an all-encompassing conflict.
So on every level it seems like Alyssa, you're really focusing
on the nutritional aspect on the health aspect, but you know what
bit you mentioned it Bitcoin fixes that?
Bitcoin, you know, Bitcoin fixes, the incentive structure.
And what currently is happening is the incentive structure is
broken, right? So then, there's unintended
consequences of that incentive structure being broken.
And I'm just so glad that you not only are trying to put a
Band-Aid over the problem, you're aware of what the cause
of that problem is in the first place.
And I think that if people awake awakened to this reality, you
know, I think Marty bent said it right fix the money, fix the
world, right? And I truly truly believe that
in my heart way to go. Before we move on, can I ask
Alyssa one more question? How did you get orange pill?
So my boyfriend, orange filled me.
He basically started in one Legend gas in the car and I had
no choice but to listen and eventually it started making
sense. Let's go.
I literally, I literally did the same.
I did the same. It's like, I just talked so much
that, you know, it got to a point where like after a couple
years, my girlfriend's like, you know, Okay, I like this Bitcoin
thing, maybe you're just not a crazy insane person but it's
all, you know, this is what it's about, you know, you're not
crazy and it's a, I think we're a little bit crazy, bro.
But I think, you know, all revolutionaries are crazy.
I think at the end of the Flyers, help to, I've been
posting Flyers at the gym hand at the grocery store, just
hoping somebody sees it and it makes sense to them.
Yeah, yeah, 100%. I think he's been more than we
are now. Oh, geez, I know, I know we're
slacking. We got to pick it up.
Alright, everybody no more delay.
Let's jump straight into the meme review.
Let's do it. The daily meme review brought to
you by Kaboom racks. I get this question all the
time. Nico.
Where should I buy Bitcoin? Miners to 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 start your mining Journey today.
Kaboom racks. All right, guys, I want to tell
you about the Of the tips, ceremony BTC sessions.
And I are going to be coming together in Miami prior to the
Bitcoin conference May 16th at 11 a.m. at Bitcoin Grove.
What's going to be happening? I will have a strip of my hair
dyed blond by the lovely mrs. Sessions, we will also be doing
a live simply sessions News. Stream will be having giveaways
and prizes and goes on to say, The luxurious golden lock shall
combine and possibly create a God.
God candle! The likes of which Bitcoin has
never seen before. Of course, we'll help you having
a few drinks and enjoy each other's company.
So I hope to see a lot of you guys.
It's basically the first simply Bitcoin event that we've ever
thrown and we're going to be doing it with the legendary BTC
sessions. So I hope to see a lot of you
guys in Miami. Hopefully come to this event,
it's going to be a great time and I'm kind of nervous that
I've never dyed my hair. But I feel like it's a rite of
passage as a YouTuber and specifically as a Bitcoin
content creator. You know, it's going to happen.
I was kind of in the fence between, you know, dying a
streak of my beard blond or my hair.
I think I'm going to go with my hair but I think I'm going to do

because I wanted to play a video and I gotta I gotta do things to
make this You guys hear the audio?
But anyways, tweet to the bullet, to meme to the
artillery. We are in an information War.
Get out there like Alyssa and be gorilla to marketers for for the
crazy Bitcoin signal and let's spread Bitcoin, only signal
everywhere. Some more people realize that we
have the solution to the world problem because the money's
broken stupid and we can fix it with Bitcoin anyways.
The first name is my price and Bitcoin and I've been seeing
this this display on short and You know, Tick Tock videos all
over the Internet. And we finally got some some
Bitcoin versions of this. And I really like this one
because I felt this way over the weekend.
Anyways, price in Bitcoin, go our price and BTC on.
Twitter goes Milo's, sat Bitcoin transaction waiting around in
the mempool and here we go. What are you doing?
Me.
Let's go my very low set. Transactions are just hanging
around in the mempool. I have I'm literally have like
three different transactions that are Chillin right now that
aren't going anywhere and I kind of need the money anyways.
Anyways here we go. The next meme, this one is by
Finn j.r. Finn EJ.
And of course, I'm going to just continue to double down on the
SATs and the fees and the ordinal.
All this stuff going over the over the weekend.
Anyways, we got a bell curve here and we got some left side
of the bell curve. Go do ordinal.
People will run out of Bitcoin eventually.
And then we got the mid witsec. Oh my God, the end of TP boy,
killing big home and jpegs at this rate.
Financial transactions will never be able to go through
this. This is going to kill Bitcoin.
What the f? And then we got the right side
of the bell curve because the order know people will run out
of Bitcoin. This too shall pass and
hopefully, Lee, we will get it cleared mempool soon.
Anyways, again, we are beating this horse and we got Odell here
and we got the classic Anakin Skywalker Meme and what's your
name pad me and it goes man, pools are busy fees are high and
patent because you prepared for this, right?
And we got any kid with the smile.
No, you prepare for this, right? I felt this one cuz I thought I
was prepared was not prepared and you know I don't have any
lightning channels open. Yeah, you know it is what it is.
And then again this is what I'm going to feel like when my
transaction finally goes through probably I don't know when I
bumped the fees. Anyway this means my seed signer
and we got a girl Whispering or yeah.
Girl whispering in your ear and goes your transaction is
confirmed and you get the Goosebumps.
This is how I'm going to feel when my transaction finally gets
confirmed or I have to bump my feet.
I don't know. We'll see.
We'll see how low my time. Preference can go out anyways.
Its next game is by Austin Herbert and it goes Bitcoin was
born. The left Bitcoin ization began
on the right now. I think this one might be a
little hopeful, but I'd like to meet unless and we got, you
know, the Great Recession, 2008, all the bank's blowing up when
Bitcoin was born and then we got the line in the middle 2016.
And then today, we have all the recent bank failures, ushering
us into hyper Bitcoin ization, absolutely love it.
And here we go. Mining Bitcoin because Bitcoin
is the money of the future and you can see the future.

world that we can only barely imagine today.
