18
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:00,000
Good sit good to be here, Tess. 
Hey, we're just in another call.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,500
About very, very excited for 
this conversation. 

20
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:03,900
Jeff. 
It's, it was a, it was a lot of 

21
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,100
fun seeing you down at Pacific 
Bitcoin week or so ago and 

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,700
really love picking your brain 
about what you're doing, kind of

23
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,300
in the private Equity space on 
the Bitcoins. 

24
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,400
I think a lot of people in the 
audience will have fun here in 

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,000
about what you're doing and what
kind of projects are happening 

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,300
on layer 2 and Beyond on 
bitcoin. 

27
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,800
So love to pick your brain on. 
All of that as this conversation

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000
goes on. 
So I don't know if we want to 

29
00:01:26,008 --> 00:01:29,200
start just kind of with your 
general take on where we are 

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,800
right now. 
Like you know, there's a lot of 

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,300
crazy stuff happening whether 
it's ft x SV, F, you know, 

32
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:38,700
digital assets grayscale. 
Everything going on everywhere, 

33
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,200
just seems kind of crazy. 
It feels crazy out there. 

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,500
Feels like a clown world. 
And so I'd love love it. 

35
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,500
If we could get into just kind 
of what are your thoughts. 

36
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,100
So, if, you know, from a from 
kind of the 50,000 foot view 

37
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:52,000
with where we are, where the 
world is right now. 

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800
What do you think about Bitcoin 
right now? 

39
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,900
Now, is it really dead like the 
headlines? 

40
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:59,100
Say and why is, why isn't it? 
Why is it more happening with 

41
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,900
SPF and everything going on? 
It seems like he's kind of just 

42
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,400
lounging in the Bahamas and 
speaking at conferences right 

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,900
now. 
So what's going on in this crazy

44
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,800
Crown World? 
Let's get your take on it, just 

45
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,500
to start up. 
Just that one and it just comes 

46
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,300
back is just a really simple 
premise. 

47
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:19,100
And you know I've said this a 
million times then the natural 

48
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:23,900
productivity that should clothes
to all humans and as technology 

49
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,300
progresses or we crate crate, we
solve problems should reduce 

50
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,300
prices. 
It's not because we live in a 

51
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:34,200
system that controls those 
prices and has to make them up 

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,600
to protect protect otherwise 
debt, that would collapse, which

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,000
the entire system. 
Bill time. 

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,100
And that means you have to 
introduce Miss information and 

55
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:47,500
money because all money is, is 
information. 

56
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:51,100
And people are looking through 
that misinformation all around 

57
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:55,300
the world and and, and leaning 
in to try to create more of what

58
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,700
they think. 
They want more money to try to 

59
00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:01,800
escape that system and it's just
feeding back into that. 

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,700
So the so the and many people in
the Bitcoin, space know this 

61
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:08,100
already. 
If you're self custody and in 

62
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,800
Bitcoin you're just a you're 
just completely away from all of

63
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,600
that noise. 
As it's disintegrating and 

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,600
getting worse and worse. 
And worse does have major 

65
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,300
repercussions because it's the 
world we all live in right now 

66
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:24,600
and is that transitions. 
But but all of the, I think, the

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,100
all of this is predictable out 
of what must happen in money. 

68
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:37,600
So so why is it predictable like
what about Fiat incentivizes 

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200
this kind of clown World 
behavior and what makes Bitcoin 

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,400
different? 
What is bitcoin? 

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Incentivizes the whole Fiat 
experiment. 

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,700
It's essentially comes down to 
we're going to transfer wealth 

73
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,400
unnaturally. 
We're going to we're going to 

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400
steal the productive capacity of
humans and transferred to some 

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,900
people to, to pretend we can 
look after those other humans 

76
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,500
better. 
That's ultimately what the 

77
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:07,800
entire thing comes down to it. 
So you're stealing your that 

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,800
transfer is theft and you're 
stealing it from some people to 

79
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,500
others. 
You don't eat and you why? 

80
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:18,100
We don't notice it. 
We don't notice it 2% theft or 

81
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:24,600
1% theft, but but when it turns 
into 10 and 20% theft, we start 

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,900
to notice it like somebody 
walking into your house and 

83
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:30,500
stealing one percent of your 
stuff each year he might not Not

84
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:33,700
notice it being gone but all of 
a sudden you start noticing that

85
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:37,800
theft at the at a greater rate 
ultimately Jeff. 

86
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,300
And a you know that many people 
on this call know this if it's 

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,600
the entire system relies on 
something that that has to do 

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,900
that to survive, it requires and
all of the defense of that 

89
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:57,800
system is really a defense of. 
I believe that we should make 

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,400
debt cheaper or transfer more. 
To be able to function to be 

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,100
able to run a productive 
Society. 

92
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:08,300
The hardest thing to understand 
is Bitcoin is so that's the 

93
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:09,800
world. 
We've always lived in and we've 

94
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,200
we've typically gone to war to 
reset the in Bitcoin, as a 

95
00:05:13,207 --> 00:05:16,300
non-violent, transition to the 
other side, all people have to 

96
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,300
do is move to the other side and
spend more and more of the to 

97
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,500
move into Bitcoin and spend more
of the time there. 

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,300
But we've never seen something 
like that, quiet, as humans 

99
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:25,800
before. 
So that may end. 

100
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:30,700
And so if there was a system 
that's before people, Well, if 

101
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:34,400
they didn't understood what the 
Senate Bitcoin was, if there was

102
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,700
a system that was able to take 
that power out of human hands 

103
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800
forever. 
That would be, that would be 

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400
quite a remarkable achievement, 
but it, but it would also mean 

105
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,100
that all of the people 
benefiting from that system 

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,100
would probably try to fight that
sort of that exact, that's 

107
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:56,200
Innovation or that Discovery or 
invention, whatever you want to 

108
00:05:56,207 --> 00:05:58,000
call it. 
So, I think that's just where we

109
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600
are, and we're in the now, they 
fight you stage. 

110
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
How long do you think the in 
just four people in the 

111
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200
audience? 
So, so the they have the four 

112
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600
stages, right? 
Of accepting a new technology. 

113
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,600
First, they ignore you, then 
they laugh at you, then they 

114
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,900
fight you and then you win. 
So, so to Jeff's point, he's 

115
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:20,700
saying, we're at about stage 3, 
right now, then they fight you. 

116
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:23,000
And this, this can be kind of a 
painful stage, for sure. 

117
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,200
It's basically when the cultures
clash and and things get 

118
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,200
serious. 
What do you think, Jeff? 

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,700
How long does this? 
Then they fight you phase. 

120
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,700
Last. 
Is this just like a year. 

121
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:34,600
A couple of years. 
Do you think this may go on for 

122
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,700
decades? 
What's your read on it? 

123
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:41,600
Well, it's hard to say that 
specifically if it's actually 

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,000
why I spent so much time. 
So if you understand the 

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,900
plumbing of both systems, you 
understand it, and that's what I

126
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,600
went through. 
I probably understood the 

127
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,600
plumbing of the existing system 
more when I went through my book

128
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,200
and then and and and at the end 
of my book, I just left over the

129
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,800
opportunity of Bitcoin, but I 
was probably not as deep as I am

130
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,200
up to it. 
Certainly, I wasn't steep as I 

131
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,700
am. 
Today on bitcoin is 

132
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:08,100
understanding that it's 
literally Unstoppable and if you

133
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,500
understand that it's Unstoppable
and it's just based on truth, 

134
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,000
the question goes, why would you
want to stop it? 

135
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,000
If it's a better technology of 
money and is based on truth and 

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,400
it produces, a better return for
Emma did better Society for All 

137
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Humans. 
What would your advantage be in 

138
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,600
stopping it and so but but how 
long is this going to play out? 

139
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,500
It's going to be chaotic. 
It's going to Be really chaotic 

140
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400
monopolies. 
Don't die over Network effects. 

141
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Don't die overnight. 
They're they're, they're 

142
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,800
persistent. 
And there's a lot of things that

143
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
are going to be thrown at this 
along the way. 

144
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:50,500
But it doesn't, I kind of zoom 
out by zone out from all of that

145
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:52,800
because I'm not really in this 
for price. 

146
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,400
In fact, if you measure, I've 
said this many times, but if you

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,100
measure actually, what's really 
happening with Bitcoins with a 

148
00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:03,100
lag, is that all prices will 
fall against Bitcoin forever, 

149
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,900
It's not private bitcoin price. 
Going up, people that are 

150
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:10,200
measuring Bitcoin price, going 
up or, or actually defaulting to

151
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
the Miss measurement of the 
currency that they're using. 

152
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:20,900
I love it. 
What and then you should jump in

153
00:08:20,907 --> 00:08:23,200
here after this but it's so one 
other question for you because 

154
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,800
this is something I think about 
life life. 

155
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,300
On a Bitcoin standard say say 
things happen sooner sooner than

156
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,500
later and we get on a Bitcoin 
standard. 

157
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:33,299
Let's call it 10 years. 
Just to be fun. 

158
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:35,400
I don't think it happens that 
fast, but maybe it does. 

159
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:37,900
What happens to things like, 
investing? 

160
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:40,299
What happens to, you know, 
private Equity, what happens to 

161
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,600
investing in the stock market, 
and like bombs, new bonds, even 

162
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,100
exist in or do they look 
completely different at that 

163
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,000
point? 
What's your view of the world? 

164
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:53,500
And if we were to go on to a 
Bitcoin standard, okay, we are 

165
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,200
going to go on to bitcoin 
standard. 

166
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:58,300
It's just a matter of time on 
which countries do it first and 

167
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:03,300
such but but but fear and greed 
will still exist in any market 

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800
and let's use the FTX still and 
it's going to be way better this

169
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,800
or yield and yield offering 
products similar to what a bank 

170
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,700
would do. 
If because of a fractional 

171
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:16,500
Reserve System and at that, if 
you offered more yield, you 

172
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:18,600
would get more people chasing 
Bank. 

173
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Then another bank would offer 
more yield and you and he would 

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000
change. 
You'd Chase up to a point where 

175
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,500
we're the nothing would be 
backing it. 

176
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,300
And the government would have to
come in and save the day that 

177
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:34,800
same thing happens in in crypto 
land because because they have 

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,300
no counterparty risk, no 
Thunder. 

179
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,300
Party risk on bitcoin and a free
market. 

180
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,000
That says. 
So if I create this other coin 

181
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,700
and I say or time I leveraged 
Bitcoin and say I have it, I can

182
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:51,100
offer yield and If I offer more 
yield and somebody else, I'll 

183
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,800
gain those people coming into my
my ecosystem and it works until 

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,400
it doesn't and then it unwinds 
to 0 because of the counterparty

185
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,100
risk and nobody's going to save 
it. 

186
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,300
And so if you just said, fear 
and greed in all markets, we can

187
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,500
we can expect fear and greed to 
remain. 

188
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,700
As part of human nature. 
We could, it's always been in 

189
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,800
human nature, suspected, always 
will be. 

190
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:21,500
And that means if Confined an 
advantage, they will find an 

191
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,700
advantage. 
Now, let's use debt on that and 

192
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:27,000
let's use what's happening 
because these are totally 

193
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,700
opposite systems one system. 
We live in today means any dead.

194
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,600
I take over long-term, I pay 
back with cheaper dollars 

195
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,800
tomorrow, so it Vantage meas to 
take take that if I'm on the 

196
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,000
right side of that and 
especially if I have an implicit

197
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,100
guarantee by the government will
bail me out. 

198
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:52,100
Out because I'm too big to fail.
Then I can keep on creating 

199
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,200
larger and larger Monopoly 
Forever on that implicit 

200
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,900
guarantee that somebody is going
to be the taxpayers are going to

201
00:10:57,900 --> 00:11:05,200
bail me out but it relies on, on
my my value of my currency is 

202
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,100
getting worthless worthless. 
So the debt and paying back and 

203
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,200
cheaper dollars to more tomorrow
Bitcoin. 

204
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,500
Relies on exactly the opposite, 
the value of Bitcoin is going up

205
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:20,300
in relation to everything else. 
That means, if you took Dad, 

206
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:25,900
let's say you take dead on on a 
Bitcoin standard, then then it 

207
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:30,200
means your real interest rate on
that Bitcoin standard is, is 

208
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,500
going to be more expensive. 
And that means that you wouldn't

209
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:38,100
fund things that that you 
wouldn't. 

210
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,100
Or if I'm an entrepreneur, and 
I'm using, I'm going to just 

211
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:45,100
blow that money. 
Then I'm going to get burned. 

212
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,900
And actually probably the 
counterparty is as well because 

213
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,300
it come back to collect on the 
debt and due to be nothing 

214
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,900
there. 
So in that what's happening 

215
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:57,200
today in that system is that 
whole debt that we live in 

216
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,200
today, is being repriced, buy 
Bitcoin, or being completely the

217
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,800
entire debt side is being 
repressed and Bitcoin in The 

218
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Loft. 
I'm not saying there won't be 

219
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,800
any debt and for a while there 
be kind of fear, and greed old, 

220
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,800
I've Drive markets, but there'd 
be way, less less because you 

221
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,700
won't need it. 
Yeah, I actually agree with you.

222
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:22,200
I think I think that's the kind 
of The Logical conclusion is 

223
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200
just going to be, it's going to 
take the entire Fiat system that

224
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,900
we're so used to this credit 
based system and just flip it on

225
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,200
its head. 
Everything is gonna almost run, 

226
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,600
run in the opposite direction. 
So be very interesting to see 

227
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800
how life works on a Bitcoin 
standard. 

228
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:37,900
Hey Jeff. 
I have a, I have a few questions

229
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,300
and I some thoughts here but 
would love to hear your input. 

230
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:43,600
So recently, I like the last six
months has been, you know, just 

231
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,900
this this kind of Never Ending 
Story of counterparty risk and 

232
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:51,200
blow ups and And, you know, I'll
put skated leverage counterparty

233
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,700
risk. 
Like we were just referring to, 

234
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600
you know, if like, you know, 
there's probably some listeners 

235
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,200
on here that we say stuff like a
Bitcoin standard or 

236
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,200
hyperventilation, and they just 
nod their head and say, yeah, I 

237
00:13:01,208 --> 00:13:03,100
agree and there's other 
listeners that are saying, you 

238
00:13:03,108 --> 00:13:06,800
know, these guys are totally out
of their mind crazy brainwashed.

239
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,200
And so to kind of bridge the 
gap, a little bit, you know, 

240
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,200
with Bitcoin trading at seven, 
and sixteen thousand seventy 

241
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,900
percent from the highs. 
I mean, it's obviously done this

242
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,800
before, but you know, many were 
saying, this is a macro asset 

243
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,900
this Is different, you know, the
whole the whole nine yards. 

244
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:25,200
How is Bitcoin as this? 
This absolutely scarce asset 

245
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,800
with a credible monetary policy.
How does it escape from say the 

246
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,700
same the same fate of gold? 
You know, another monetary 

247
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,500
Bearer asset that got kind of 
co-opted from the state what 

248
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:38,500
differentiates that from gold 
and maybe what what looks 

249
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:42,100
different this next time around,
you know, next cycle or you 

250
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,100
know, a few years from now, kind
of coming out of this whole, 

251
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:48,700
this whole mess with all these, 
all these Counterparties going 

252
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,800
under. 
Yeah, two things, the self 

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,100
custody of Bitcoin different 
differentiated cells, and they, 

254
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,000
and that Network velocity of the
lightning becoming peer-to-peer.

255
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,200
It's forming the base layer of 
the period of a peer-to-peer 

256
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,100
internet with money inside of 
that Network. 

257
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:13,900
And so what what and you know 
this but for the other people, 

258
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,700
if you just looked at gold and 
something pegged to gold and 

259
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:22,300
then Bank creating a lending 
instrument on top of gold. 

260
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,900
You could just say through human
nature. 

261
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,700
Then then banks that Leverage, 
The Gold more would win, more of

262
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:35,600
the share until a collapse of 
the system which they which not 

263
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,200
every people would go back to 
try to get their gold and it 

264
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,800
wouldn't be there. 
And so and every bank would 

265
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,900
compete in that same sense and 
then over time because people 

266
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:48,600
would go and try to get their 
gold and it wouldn't be, their 

267
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:52,900
governments would come in and 
say we're going to sit on top of

268
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:54,100
that. 
We're going to protect you from 

269
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,100
the bank. 
And it would happen at the 

270
00:14:56,100 --> 00:15:00,000
government level and what you 
see throughout Society you see 

271
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:06,200
ever increasing debt running on 
top of that system forever with 

272
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,900
no cleansing of the system. 
And when I say, cleansing of the

273
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,500
system until a war that resets 
holes, whole system in the 

274
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,600
rulers, essentially, the winners
of the war, reset, the system. 

275
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:20,700
And but, but that's what leads 
to these long-term debt cycles 

276
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,800
and Bitcoin because of the K. 
What you see Joe Woods Just 

277
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,300
Happening. 
Nobody saves you. 

278
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,100
If you have your Bitcoin on one 
of these exchanges and that and 

279
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:35,100
you've been collecting a coupon 
of nine percent based on paper 

280
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,000
Bitcoin, when it goes the other 
way, it's gone. 

281
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:40,700
There's there it was never 
there, it's gone. 

282
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,300
So that's that's kind of 
probably the first line of 

283
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,500
defense. 
The free market just wipes you 

284
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:52,100
out instead of moving it, higher
on it on, on a government stack 

285
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:54,900
that says we're going to 
socialize the losses. 

286
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200
Protect the people in control 
who created the problem in the 

287
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:02,500
first place. 
And then this and and and then 

288
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,500
then, so if you just play that 
out then I think if you just 

289
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:12,600
play that first layer Bitcoin 
Bitcoin out, then you'd say, 

290
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:16,000
would people create a whole 
bunch of Leverage on it and 

291
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,400
would fear and greed overtime, 
wipe them out but we would 

292
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,900
emerge with a similar type of 
similar. 

293
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Of financial industry that we 
have today on top of that coin 

294
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,900
with stuff pegged to bitcoin. 
But then wiping out value in 

295
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:36,800
these in these big Cycles. 
Yes, that's what it would look 

296
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,100
like. 
But when you but when you 

297
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:43,700
combine the lightning or kind of
when you when you think about 

298
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:46,800
Bitcoin and layers and lightning
becomes a peer-to-peer 

299
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,800
transaction Network on top of 
that, that means the need for 

300
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,200
that debt in the first place, 
just move goes away. 

301
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,100
Thanks for the answer. 
Yeah, I agree there. 

302
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,500
I think part of the thing it's 
been kind of frustrating but 

303
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:07,900
also, you know, it would it 
would be hilarious and who would

304
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,200
if it wasn't so sad and tragic 
is, you know, the reality that 

305
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,700
we have this and non-sovereign 
money that you can verify trip 

306
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,200
like, in a very trivial manner 
with your own node. 

307
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,200
That, you know, it's like takes 
almost you can you can I mean 

308
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,599
how you can do it on your phone 
at this point, with with that, 

309
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,000
with how capable the new new 
smartphones are and how much 

310
00:17:26,099 --> 00:17:28,400
Storage these things have and to
see, you know, all these 

311
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,900
blow-ups we're like three arrows
Capital had a there a um on a 

312
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:37,800
spread half on a PDF and you 
know FTX had an Excel sheet with

313
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,500
an API backdoor for their 
auditor and like all this stuff 

314
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:44,100
and it's like well and even like
grayscale and I don't think 

315
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:46,100
necessarily that these guys are 
Bad actors. 

316
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,700
I don't think that actually, I 
don't. 

317
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,500
But, you know, it's very trivial
to Simply sign with your keys 

318
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,600
and say, hey, we have the 
Bitcoin, or we don't mind if it 

319
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,200
wasn't me, say I closed and 
trust and the Example of gray 

320
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,800
scale. 
You can just pull your funds 

321
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,100
with lightning. 
You can pull your funds at 5 

322
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,700
seconds with an entree and 
transaction. 

323
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:05,400
They would take you know ten ten
minutes 20 minutes and so all 

324
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,900
these blow-ups happening you 
know and like he's Bank runs on 

325
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:09,200
these. 
You know kind of fractional 

326
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,200
Reserve bucket shops it's just 
it's kind of amazing that 

327
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,100
people, you know, just took 
this. 

328
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,600
You know, there's really really 
big idea for a casino and then 

329
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,200
obviously this speculation 
speculation native to bitcoin 

330
00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:26,800
like there's no doubt about that
and keep calling with So when 

331
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,900
you when you talk about these 
other fractional reserves to FTX

332
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:32,800
or anything else, it's exactly 
how the existing Financial 

333
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,000
system works exactly. 
But the existing Financial 

334
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,800
system that we trust in is for 
orders of magnitude bigger. 

335
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,700
It's ten thousand times bigger 
than Bitcoin and Bitcoin and we 

336
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:47,200
measure our life through that 
system. 

337
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,300
So when it manipulates money, 
when it's social when it, when 

338
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:55,800
it essentially, socializes the 
losses and transfers the winds 

339
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,900
To, to the centralized power of 
that system, we don't notice it 

340
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:04,700
because but it's what's 
happening today and if you just 

341
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:08,400
if you just play that forward, 
If the Fed continues to tighten 

342
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,000
and and what you're saying in 
China is actually a, I think a 

343
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,100
result of the tightening that 
they're trying to do. 

344
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,300
This is all connected. 
If the Fed is, If the Fed 

345
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,300
continues to tighten the actual 
cascading spiral that you're 

346
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,600
going to see on the entire 
Financial system. 

347
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:32,600
Except for Bitcoin is going to 
melt mines, but but they don't 

348
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,000
see it because of that lag 
effect and that in that in that,

349
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,200
in the system, they're living in
is forwarders magnitude. 

350
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:43,200
So they're measuring Bitcoin by 
that system without realizing 

351
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,000
the risk inherent in, that 
system, the entire system only 

352
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:51,100
only exists on a belief that 
somebody's going to come in and 

353
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:53,400
save the day by socializing 
losses. 

354
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,900
Yeah, it's like it's like the 
example is, you know, once you 

355
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:02,400
once we kind of realized the 
like a balance sheet leak or, 

356
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:06,300
you know, just their positioning
like that FTX was was a 

357
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:10,000
collateralized against their ftt
tokens with no natural buyers. 

358
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:15,300
It's like imagine if the fed or 
you know some some omnipotent 

359
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:17,600
power came in was like, all 
right we'll buy all your FTP 

360
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,700
tokens for you but continue 
working. 

361
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:22,300
Well by this with the funny 
money and socialize the losses. 

362
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,300
It's like. 
That sounds ridiculous, right? 

363
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:28,700
Like obviously the Or anyone 
else went by ftt tokens but like

364
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,100
what happened in 08 09 like what
was tarp right? 

365
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,800
Like they were buying garbage 
debt Securities and no one else 

366
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,000
wanted to recapitalize system 
and like, what happened? 

367
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,400
I'm sorry for what happened in 
2020, what's happening and stir 

368
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,900
and and then people don't 
realize that the house that 

369
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,400
they're measuring that's gone 
up. 

370
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:51,300
In value is is gone down in real
value against and Bitcoin. 

371
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:54,600
And that's why because it's just
me, it's manipulated currency 

372
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,400
that you has to keep Upon 
creating that result, Jeff. 

373
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,700
I mean do you want to talk at 
all about what you're doing with

374
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:01,000
like, ego death? 
I don't know if you're like 

375
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,400
permitted to talk about that or 
like some of the stuff you're 

376
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,700
seeing on Lightning, we can go 
really anywhere you want with 

377
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:09,100
this with this combo, but I mean
we've talked a lot over the last

378
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:13,100
month or so or it really 6 
months about the, the crypto 

379
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:16,900
contagion counterparty spiral, 
if we want to continue to 

380
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,800
tripping on that. 
I think we're totally down. 

381
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,700
But is there anything else? 
That's kind of been been peeking

382
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:26,200
your interest lately?

today, a Bitcoin magazine

423
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:31,700
Maybe many people read it 
already but I wrote a piece 

424
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:33,700
called finding signal in a noisy
world. 

425
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:37,100
It's on medium, bunch of people 
have translated it says, well, 

426
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:40,800
if anyone on the call hasn't 
read it they should and it's 

427
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,800
just what the world would look 
like in in if the base of our 

428
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,300
world just that for my money was
just information. 

429
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:53,500
What it would look like if that 
missing for, if that information

430
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:57,100
was being manipulated, we would 
all be looking through that same

431
00:23:57,100 --> 00:24:01,400
misinformation compared to, 
what's happening a bit in 

432
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,400
Bitcoin is an alternative system
that had to be outside of that 

433
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,800
system and Untouchable by that 
system, not that you wouldn't 

434
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,600
expect not that you wouldn't 
expect every single attack 

435
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,400
Vector on that new system. 
Cuz because that system would 

436
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200
be. 
So it would take so much power 

437
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:23,000
from the people who controlled 
power today. 

438
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,200
You would have to expect 
everything against that system. 

439
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,600
So you really have to understand
that system that is its its 

440
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,900
core. 
Why it was outside, why it was 

441
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:42,500
decentralized, why it was 
Secure, why it was unhackable 

442
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:46,100
Untouchable from the existing 
system and so but what would the

443
00:24:46,108 --> 00:24:49,500
world look like? 
And then as I started for me and

444
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,600
this is probably if you touch a 
little bit on ego death Where 

445
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,400
would I want to spend my time? 
But I want to spend my time in 

446
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,200
the system without which we want
to spend most of my time trying 

447
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,800
to accumulate enough Capital 
inside a system whereby, every 

448
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,900
single thing I did try and give 
to to create enough Capital 

449
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:14,400
inside that system made our 
world worse for all people in 

450
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,300
the system, or would I move more
of my time and resources to the 

451
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:24,500
new system that I wanted to see.
And so the start of The start of

452
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,100
ego death Capital but it's not 
just me. 

453
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:32,300
It's a lot of people in and and 
Bitcoin another because Bitcoin 

454
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:37,900
only VC's is really an idea 
where that focuses on. 

455
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,100
I do have I do have say, where I
spend my time I control, where I

456
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:47,800
spend my time, I can spend it 
with the best entrepreneurs 

457
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:52,000
building, the new peer-to-peer 
internet, that will support 

458
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,800
forum. 
The backbone of society society 

459
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,400
and it'll move us from the 
system. 

460
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,300
We live in now with greater and 
greater insecurity to a new 

461
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:05,500
system based on truth, hope 
abundance. 

462
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,900
So and then now when you're in 
that new system, how you're 

463
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:14,300
spending your time with all of 
those people, but probably many 

464
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:16,500
on this call, you Dylan for 
sure. 

465
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:20,000
Jeff for sure. 
We're spending time with a whole

466
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,400
bunch of people that have a 
different view of the world. 

467
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:25,500
It's based on, it's based on 
truth. 

468
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,700
You build incredible connections
and and I can't believe I get to

469
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:34,500
be able to play in this new 
world in getting to see all of 

470
00:26:34,508 --> 00:26:39,200
these entrepreneurs building its
early building in this ecosystem

471
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400
that are going to create 
incredible value for society. 

472
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,800
I like, it's like I can't 
believe I get to the privilege 

473
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,000
of doing that. 
Will every entrepreneur be 

474
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
successful? 
No, will every business be 

475
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,900
successful. 
No. 

476
00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:55,700
But by doing, Even saving moving
there, they're going to just 

477
00:26:55,700 --> 00:27:01,100
like when and I remember the 
first day on the beginning of 

478
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:05,300
the internet or kind of 99 and 
internet company to go just 

479
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:08,900
balls, got funded for I think it
was 25 million dollars on a 

480
00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:12,900
napkin and and it's a bad 
business idea because it was 

481
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:16,500
taking advantage of whole bunch 
of the hype cycle the internet. 

482
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:18,600
But it didn't change the 
internet. 

483
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
It all of these ideas are they? 
Internet stronger and stronger, 

484
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,500
and stronger and we use the 
value created on top of it. 

485
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,800
That's reforming that whole 
value system is going to be 

486
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:39,900
reimagined on top of that coin. 
Stephanie, I think I like, most 

487
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:41,800
of these questions may already 
know your answer, but, and I 

488
00:27:41,808 --> 00:27:44,200
don't even know if you want to 
go down this route but what do 

489
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,000
you say to the to the, you know,
inquiring investor or friend or 

490
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
someone that comes up to you? 
And says, you know, Jeff I get 

491
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,600
your passion about Bitcoins. 
But what about crypto? 

492
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,300
What about etherium, what about,
you know, II can't borrow 

493
00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:02,300
against my Bitcoin on chain. 
I can't swap, you know, assets. 

494
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:05,700
I can't do all these really cool
things is, you know, I want, I 

495
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:08,300
want something that's. 
It's not a Our client. 

496
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:11,100
How do you, how do you answer 
that to someone that may not be 

497
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:13,800
in the, in the, you know, weeds 
with a lot of the technical? 

498
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,000
You know, how that's why I wrote
for finding signal in a noisy 

499
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,300
world because it would give a 
reference point. 

500
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:22,200
Now, there's lots of great work 
in this. 

501
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,300
If people want to do this, do 
the work but it would, I wrote 

502
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:27,800
that piece because it would give
a reference point. 

503
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,100
The people could come back to on
on why at a first principles 

504
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:36,100
level and what and why. 
Why if you were measuring this 

505
00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:39,400
as if you were measuring this 
This instead of a protocol if 

506
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,300
you were measuring it as a 
product that and and Bitcoin. 

507
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:49,400
The layer, one of the protocol 
was based on decentralization 

508
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,000
and security and then by de 
facto, it couldn't have 

509
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,100
scalability built into it. 
It would leave an opening 

510
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,200
especially in a world that was 
manipulating money. 

511
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,200
It would leave a hole opening to
a whole bunch of other kind of 

512
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:09,000
and I don't accept a con artist.
As there's a whole bunch of 

513
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,100
entrepreneurs and in in the 
crypto space that actually 

514
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:16,000
believe in what they're doing. 
They're just built on top of 

515
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,900
foundations that they've built 
on top of quicksand that have to

516
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:25,000
centralize or B or B and secure.
And if you have D Phi, D, 

517
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,300
centralized decentralized 
Finance on top of a centralized 

518
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:34,000
blockchain that make any sense 
to anybody or decentralized 

519
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,300
stable coin, you know? 
Yeah, yeah. 

520
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,600
So it did These don't make sense
if you just run the logic all 

521
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,500
the way through. 
And the only thing that I've 

522
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:47,400
seen that actually makes sense 
is Bitcoin and and I'm a 

523
00:29:47,408 --> 00:29:49,500
long-term investor. 
I think about where I'm going to

524
00:29:49,508 --> 00:29:54,500
spend my time over a long period
of time and and nothing else 

525
00:29:54,500 --> 00:30:01,500
passed that test. 
But to know to get there, I went

526
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:05,000
down to the sand and backup on 
every where would they be? 

527
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,500
Is where where, where would this
be attacked? 

528
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:11,100
Would it look like and then? 
And then, but I do also 

529
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:17,100
understand if Bitcoin because 
protocols Harden over time and, 

530
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:19,700
and you can't build the next 
layer of the protocol, nor do 

531
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:23,000
you know what's available on the
next layer, the protocol until 

532
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,900
it's there? 
So if you had a protocol 

533
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:29,000
hardening over time, like 
Bitcoin becoming more 

534
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
decentralized, more secure over 
time. 

535
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:34,900
And it's sacrificed smart 
contracts, because that would 

536
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,100
build bigger block size, and 
that would make a great 

537
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:41,600
centralization. 
It sacrificed scalability and 

538
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,400
sacrifice speed on on layer 1 or
scalability on layer 1, For 

539
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,300
decentralization and security 
then inside that will everybody 

540
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:56,000
was well, that protocol was 
hardening and people created a 

541
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
whole bunch of wealth fund on 
bitcoin. 

542
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:01,400
It would be, it would create a 
massive opportunity in the 

543
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,100
market to say, oh that's old 
Tech, we have something that's 

544
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:09,600
new, that's way better without 
understanding the protocols 

545
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,300
developed in layers. 
And so, what's happened is just 

546
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:16,200
a total Natural Market function 
of product line. 

547
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:20,900
Say no protocol one is 
decentralized and secure period.

548
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,600
It's it's immune from all, the 
viruses that come at it because 

549
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,800
of that. 
And and then and then the next 

550
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,400
layer opens up and that's what's
happening with lightning today. 

551
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,800
And next will air and you start 
to see greater functionality 

552
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,700
coming in layers. 
Love it. 

553
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:43,800
I guess I'll throw you one more 
question and then we'll turn it 

554
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,200
back to Jeff or maybe someone 
from the audience. 

555
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,500
If we get there and I Jeff, I 
know you're not much of a like 

556
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,900
say a traitor and you're more of
a long-term investor. 

557
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,300
And, and really what this big, 
one thing I can tell, just from 

558
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,200
reading your books. 
Your blog post talk to you in 

559
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,400
person over Twitter is much more
than just an investment with 

560
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
financial upside. 
It's it's, you know, you're this

561
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,000
heavily involved because and I'm
this heavily involved because I 

562
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,700
believe it probably has the 
greatest opportunity. 

563
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:13,200
We We have to, to change 
something with a technological 

564
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,800
solution. 
But with that being said, you 

565
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,700
mentioned the fed, the FED 
policy fed tightening. 

566
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,000
We're going through it, you 
know, kind of on the backs of a 

567
00:32:22,008 --> 00:32:23,900
historic tightening cycle. 
Yeah. 

568
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,600
Debt-to-gdp. 
All of these things are, you 

569
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,100
know, from most metrics broadly,
the worst ever been ever been 

570
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:33,000
coming off of 10. 
You 10, 12 years of free money. 

571
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,200
How how do you think this whole 
thing plays out? 

572
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,100
And that's a really broad open 
question, but I think you You 

573
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:41,900
start to see some people say, 
hey, like soft. 

574
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:44,300
Landing hard Landing. 
Do you have any bias? 

575
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:49,400
One way or another? 
He leaves it is chilies but it's

576
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,000
going to be an enormously hard 
hard Landing. 

577
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:55,700
I think the best way just to 
frame it for four people that 

578
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:57,700
they can see because they just 
lived through. 

579
00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:03,100
It is what happened in 2020 with
the massive stimulus and 

580
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:05,800
printing the money. 
And when you look at every 

581
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,200
commentator, every Economist at 
the entire system, after the 

582
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,400
entire news, everybody who's 
helped, don't worry about 

583
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,500
inflation. 
There's going to be no 

584
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,900
inflation. 
And then it took quite a while 

585
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,500
till people say, it's 
inflation's going to be 

586
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,600
transitory. 
And then it took along a lot 

587
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,100
more that we have a real 
inflation problem from from that

588
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:29,300
point. 
And it's that's the lag time 

589
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:32,700
that I'm talking about. 
So if the FED started tightening

590
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,100
and call it July and and we're 
just getting into it now, then 

591
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:42,900
most of the damn that, it And 
even touched us yet his not, 

592
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:46,100
it's not okay. 
And there weren't in there. 

593
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:49,700
Likely goodness continue to 
tighten and I believe personally

594
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:56,400
that this is this is actually a 
China us tightening policy 

595
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,200
rather than anything else. 
So I think they're going to 

596
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,200
tighten for a longer and that 
means the damage the damage is 

597
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,100
already baked in is going to 
blow people away and we haven't 

598
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,199
seen most of it yet. 
We've seen the big beginning of 

599
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,600
it. 
The the amount you just think 

600
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:17,699
textures I would I would suggest
or prediction that the deficit 

601
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:21,300
next year the u.s. is going to 
be 3 trillion because they're 

602
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:26,000
looking at tax receipts based on
the based on the on the printed 

603
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,900
money and record tax, receipts 
falling off a cliff and as all 

604
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:36,900
and as their programs needed, as
people move to unemployment and 

605
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:41,000
such and such to be able to 22. 
Everyone with the program's I 

606
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,600
think you're going to see a 
massive divide here. 

607
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:46,800
So just lots of pain, lots of 
pain coming for the overall 

608
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,500
Market. 
Okay, real Jeff. 

609
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,100
Jeff. 
Before we lose this topic. 

610
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,300
Can you can you go a little bit 
deeper into what you mean by you

611
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,800
think this is a China us 
tightening policy? 

612
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:04,600
Like what do you mean by that? 
So so today, if and if China, 

613
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,800
when trying to stop buying us 
bonds for effectively, you had 

614
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,000
probably the simplest way to 
say, is you had vendor financing

615
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,300
and both parties were were 
winning out of that. 

616
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:18,500
And China was winning by low 
labor rate. 

617
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,500
Andre, and and, and, and 
exports. 

618
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:27,200
And, and keeping interest rates 
down by funding the US, 

619
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,000
government's need to spend and 
high labor rights. 

620
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,700
And so so that was just washing 
flushing currency around the 

621
00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:38,100
world and it was recirculate. 
And then I think it was 2015 and

622
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:43,200
a 2014, China stopped buying us 
bonds and started thinking okay 

623
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,400
well we're going to do this 
game. 

624
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,200
Ourselves similar Belgian Road 
would be a function of that. 

625
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:56,900
So You have effectively a 
currency regime that and the 

626
00:35:56,900 --> 00:36:02,800
u.s. that has high labor rate 
and needing needing all of the 

627
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,300
materials and everything that 
makes up the economy. 

628
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:09,800
Being outsourced to countries 
all around the world with low 

629
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,000
labor rates. 
And now you have a geopolitical 

630
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,800
problem and even the militant 
military industrial complex, how

631
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,500
do you the chips that go into? 
To your interior military 

632
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,600
injectors, or how do you run 
that? 

633
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:28,200
When most of those Supply chains
are Global and you have China? 

634
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:30,900
China, moving into a dominant 
power. 

635
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:36,500
That's this in a geopolitical 
risk to the US with, with those,

636
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,500
with all those components and 
so, so that tightening the, I 

637
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:44,800
think the u.s. is going through 
right now is, is is either you 

638
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:47,800
keep on loosening and you 
Empower China to keep that game 

639
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,100
going. 
And the Further and further down

640
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:52,600
that road, what people might 
have noticed a couple three 

641
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,000
weeks ago. 
Four weeks ago is cutting off, 

642
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,400
the chip is essentially saying 
to China. 

643
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:02,900
If, in chip manufacturing, if 
you're a US citizen there, we're

644
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,400
going to cut off your uses cents
US. 

645
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,800
Citizenship, if you remain, 
there is really a threat to to 

646
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,600
China's, to try to China's 
dominance. 

647
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,900
And the more important threat is
is this dollar threat. 

648
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,100
What? 
And so u.s. is using this this 

649
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:26,400
to tie think, Titan China's debt
collapses in that. 

650
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,400
They Sparks a revolution in 
China, because there is no way 

651
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,500
to pay back China's debt, and, 
and Nu mu, and you try to use 

652
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,000
that currency, you try to you, 
try to kick the can down the 

653
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
road. 
You're try to reset it under a 

654
00:37:40,008 --> 00:37:42,300
different regime. 
In fact, one of the different 

655
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:49,400
regimes might be moving into 
Bitcoin in time I think that's 

656
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,300
great hate and try to let me 
jump in with another one here 

657
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:54,700
just because I'm chomping at the
bit to ask this one, you know a 

658
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:58,100
lot of I'll say otherwise 
intelligent macro economic 

659
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:01,300
thinkers when they talk about 
Bitcoin specifically that 

660
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:04,800
they'll kind of give it, you 
know, Kudos and say you know it 

661
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,700
could possibly make a nice World
Reserve asset. 

662
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:12,300
Like one of many type things but
they don't think it could become

663
00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:15,100
the world Reserve currency and 
one of the reason is because 

664
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:19,600
they say economic growth isn't 
possible without To a currency 

665
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,100
that expands like the US dollar 
does love to get your take on 

666
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:26,000
that and it maybe you can talk 
about how velocity is built into

667
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,900
Bitcoin itself. 
Yeah. 

668
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:31,200
And I think that's actually the 
that comes from the from an idea

669
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,300
of gold as backing currencies 
and having to have an inflation 

670
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,500
rate and really the for needing 
inflation rate in the credit 

671
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:39,900
system to be able to drive 
velocity. 

672
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:43,600
And I think that's where the 
velocity and Bitcoin in the 

673
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,200
network. 
Has unlimited velocity, you can 

674
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,500
trade as you know, Jeff you can 
trade unless Lightning Network, 

675
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:54,300
I can pass my money anywhere in 
the world right now outside of 

676
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:56,700
the existing system. 
And it could be back at MIT 

677
00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:00,700
could transfer 40 times in 10 
minutes and be back at me. 

678
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,300
So you don't have an inherent. 
You don't have this idea that 

679
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:11,600
the only way to gain velocity is
by increasing debt and pushing 

680
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,200
more debt. 
So people spend more, which is 

681
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,600
exactly inverse of what the so 
it's the way the system. 

682
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:22,300
System and that misallocation of
capital eventually actually 

683
00:39:22,300 --> 00:39:26,600
destroys velocity because per 
destroys economies because of 

684
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,800
the mislabeled location of 
capital and Bitcoin operates. 

685
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,500
Exactly opposite to that where 
the velocity we can trade with 

686
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:39,000
anybody anywhere in the world, 
and money is really that that 

687
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:44,500
that thing that we use to trade.
Then you could imagine faster 

688
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:48,500
productivity on a Bitcoin 
standard but that productivity, 

689
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:50,800
and this is where it gets 
complicated or hard to 

690
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,100
understand from the existing 
system, where a lot of people 

691
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:57,500
stuck in that existing system is
they've never seen a system like

692
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:02,700
this, where that productivity 
would flow and lower prices to 

693
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:05,800
the population. 
That's actually why Bitcoin if 

694
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,800
when measured against everything
else, will everything else will 

695
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:18,100
fall in Bitcoin for Ever. 
And and one step up their world 

696
00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:21,500
requires to trade to trade all 
around the world. 

697
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:29,200
The world route requires a 
neutral Reserve currency I love 

698
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,000
that and that's kind of how I 
respond to people who, you know,

699
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,800
if they sort of look back with 
resentment and say that they're 

700
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,300
too late to bitcoin, I many 
people are saying that now right

701
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,500
with this bear Market in these 
in these lower prices. 

702
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:42,900
But you know what, I like to 
tell people is your honestly, 

703
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:46,400
never too late to bitcoin. 
It's going to keep growing 

704
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,100
forever, Michael Sailors, famous
quote on that it's going up 

705
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,300
forever. 
Laura and it truly is and that's

706
00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:53,600
just sort of an amazing feature 
of Bitcoin. 

707
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,100
And a feature of it being 
perfectly scarce is that it's 

708
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,500
just going to Forever go up in 
value Being that everything 

709
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,900
against the Bitcoin is going to 
be going down in midlife, will 

710
00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:03,600
get cheaper the longer we hold 
Bitcoin. 

711
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,200
Go ahead. 
Yeah, no, no, I agree. 

712
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,400
And I think they when I when I 
think about this asset I think 

713
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,100
about or not. 
So when I think about what 

714
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:15,700
Bitcoin is every single thing 
I've been talking about for 

715
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,500
years years and years and years.
The hypothesis is stronger today

716
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:22,300
than it was before. 
And and the price when measured 

717
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:27,000
in u.s. dollars is down. 
Now, if you had that trade, if 

718
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,100
it was a trade and the 
hypothesis was getting stronger 

719
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:34,500
and stronger all the time 
without without a break in it. 

720
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:38,700
Wouldn't that be the base best 
asymmetric trade on the right in

721
00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:44,700
your life? 
The so when and I costly try to 

722
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:49,700
invalidate that hypothesis, I 
look for it where I could be 

723
00:41:49,700 --> 00:41:56,600
wrong and I listen actively to 
to to others, or try to attack 

724
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,000
that, but I still have not seen 
a reasonable attack of that 

725
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,800
hypothesis. 
At least one that I see see is 

726
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,300
credible. 
So, His is mad, Odell would say,

727
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:16,700
stay humble and stacks hats. 
Love it. 

728
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:19,300
I don't have any real questions 
on the top of my mind. 

729
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:21,200
Maybe you want to bring anyone 
up or Jeff? 

730
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,300
I don't know if you have 
anything else, or sure? 

731
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:25,300
Yeah, maybe it is we're bringing
other people up Jeff. 

732
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:27,900
Another, another question I had 
for you, you know you're doing 

733
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,900
this this investing vehicle with
ego death Capital which is 

734
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:33,500
Awesome by the way. 
And I'm all about that too. 

735
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,100
So kind of a practical nuts and 
bolt question. 

736
00:42:36,100 --> 00:42:39,100
Do you think that and from an 
investing standpoint? 

737
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:42,900
Do you think that these 
investments in these kind of, 

738
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,000
you know, Bitcoin related Oin 
infrastructure Venture Capital 

739
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,800
players will actually 
outperformed Bitcoin over the 

740
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,600
long run, or do you do this more
as just to help support the 

741
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,200
infrastructure itself? 
No, I think I think I think it's

742
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,200
it's something that could 
outperform Bitcoin over the 

743
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,700
time. 
It's like asking if you're 

744
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:02,600
investing in a normal world, 
could you? 

745
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,600
Oh perform could yo, perform the
currency or an interest rate in?

746
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,600
In this know, I certainly think 
you, you have to choose, you 

747
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,200
have to Choose Wisely and you 
have to also realize in this is 

748
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,800
This is this hard thing, even 
for me, get your head around, 

749
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,400
you have to realize that by very
nature that the companies that 

750
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,400
are creating value and in 
Bitcoin will keep driving prices

751
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,700
down lower and lower for 
society, and we'll have to 

752
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,500
continually to innovate. 
So, yes, they're going to create

753
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,900
actually going to create kind of
more Bitcoin on their balance 

754
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:40,000
sheets by doing so over time, 
but that won't protect protect 

755
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,800
them from the free market and 
the free market will attack 

756
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,300
those companies to and it means 
they're going to have to move to

757
00:43:46,300 --> 00:43:49,000
the next thing and provide more 
value is that is prices are 

758
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,300
coming down. 
So it looks a little different 

759
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:57,000
than then our existing world 
where he would create a huge 

760
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Network Network Power Monopoly, 
and you would use existing the 

761
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,700
existing Financial system to 
create a monopoly that you kind 

762
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:07,600
of rent. 
You could rent seek forever. 

763
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:11,800
It doesn't enter investing in 
this set in space. 

764
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,400
Won't look like that. 
It look like free market. 

765
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:18,600
Investing, but I absolutely 
think that you we can 

766
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,600
outperform. 
I love it. 

767
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,800
That's a great answer. 
And hey, let me let me shift 

768
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,500
gears for a minute while we're 
waiting. 

769
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:28,700
By the way, if anybody in the 
audience wants to come on up, 

770
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,500
feel free. 
We have Jeff for about 13 more 

771
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:33,000
minutes or so. 
So if you want to ask any 

772
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,100
questions, a come on up. 
So let's switch gears a little 

773
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:37,000
bit, Jeff you wrote a fantastic 
book. 

774
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,800
That basically everybody knows. 
That's your very well known for 

775
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,900
this book, called the price of 
Tomorrow is one of the greatest 

776
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:45,100
books I've ever read. 
So thanks for writing that, by 

777
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:46,900
the way for you. 
So, so we're moving. 

778
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:49,900
Now into an age of we're seeing 
High inflation, right? 

779
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:51,900
We're seeing kind of peak, I 
would say. 

780
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,700
Pika centralization and we're 
moving more towards 

781
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,400
decentralization which kind of 
acts as an inflationary Force I 

782
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,400
think. 
Do you think that the forces 

783
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,600
that we're seeing? 
Now these inflationary forces 

784
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,100
that have popped up in the last 
couple of years? 

785
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:08,100
Are they temporary and do you 
think that the effects of 

786
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:11,900
Knology the deflationary effects
of Technology will overpower 

787
00:45:11,900 --> 00:45:14,000
these in the long run? 
Just love to hear your thoughts 

788
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,500
on that Jeff? 
That's a great question. 

789
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:18,100
I get it. 
I get asked all the time and I 

790
00:45:18,107 --> 00:45:21,200
just kind of come back to First 
principles and just say this 

791
00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:27,600
just ask Anybody this if we, if 
we are both the labor in all the

792
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,900
things that we buy and the 
things we buy and we live in a 

793
00:45:31,908 --> 00:45:34,900
global Community where we're 
trying to find cheaper labor, 

794
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:40,000
how can labor go up and the 
things we buy, one it come down.

795
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,700
We're the same person like 
everything we are the exact same

796
00:45:44,700 --> 00:45:47,000
person. 
And so it's that connection that

797
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,200
we believe that all our houses 
can go up forever in our labor, 

798
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,300
can go up forever, where it's 
Actually going down in real 

799
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:58,200
terms because of inflation and 
on the other side of the other 

800
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,300
side of the equation we're 
constantly looking for more 

801
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:03,700
value Bitcoin. 
Connects that in a way that 

802
00:46:03,700 --> 00:46:07,900
nothing else could because 
because money money is 

803
00:46:07,900 --> 00:46:10,600
constantly being. 
If you could manipulate a money 

804
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,900
and for your personal gain human
history says you will, We Will 

805
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,100
and Bitcoins outside of that 
system. 

806
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:21,800
So what it does is everything 
that we create is going to fall,

807
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,800
Price and it's going to keep on 
falling in price and back to 

808
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,100
your back to your back at least 
measured in Bitcoin and back to 

809
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:33,600
that. 
Simple way I try to do that as 

810
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,900
does technology reduced prices. 
Yes know, there's been some 

811
00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:41,700
people say, well, it doesn't TVs
that doesn't computers and does 

812
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:44,400
my phone, I get more value in my
phone, but it doesn't 

813
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,300
everywhere. 
And then I then say why, because

814
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:52,700
there's technology and energy, 
we More energy. 

815
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,200
We do fracking today. 
Wait, there's more solar energy 

816
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,800
why? 
And what what it turns out to is

817
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,800
some Industries are moving 
faster with technology and 

818
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,800
they're overcoming that 
inflation, right? 

819
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,000
But the only reason for 
inflation, the only reason on 

820
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,200
the over a longer term time 
frame is because we allow 

821
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,100
manipulation money. 
Otherwise prices would the 

822
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:17,500
natural free market is to 
freshener period. 

823
00:47:19,900 --> 00:47:21,400
I love it. 
That's an awesome answer. 

824
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,800
I'd love to keep going on that, 
but we got several people up 

825
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,200
here. 
Now, for questions, Dallas, I 

826
00:47:25,207 --> 00:47:27,000
think you are first. 
I, what's going on, Dallas? 

827
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,800
What's going on? 
Thank you guys for having me. 

828
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,200
I'm sorry, I missed the 
beginning of this. 

829
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,900
I don't want to ask anything 
that's done, didn't but Jeff of 

830
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:35,500
be curious. 
Like, you know, I know Dylan's a

831
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:37,300
good guy to ask about these kind
of things as well. 

832
00:47:37,300 --> 00:47:41,500
But do you guys, do you think 
that there are like any massive 

833
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:44,800
hurdles and or I don't know, 
let's just say points of 

834
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,700
Leverage that the people who 
benefit the most from the 

835
00:47:47,707 --> 00:47:51,300
existing system sort of have the
Flex, the kind of delay us from 

836
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:55,000
getting to the promised land and
like, if so, like, what are 

837
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,600
those things? 
And how do you think, you know, 

838
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,800
we can, we can be proactive and 
like combating, those things. 

839
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:05,900
It's it's misinformation and 
misinformation manipulation and 

840
00:48:05,900 --> 00:48:07,700
coercion is really what they 
have. 

841
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,700
And when you say they remember, 
we are there if if if you're in 

842
00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:17,000
the existing system racing hard 
to try to create more money or 

843
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,700
taking Hannah from then you're 
actually A part of the system 

844
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:23,000
that enables it makes it 
stronger and stronger, and 

845
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,700
stronger. 
If you're marching against that 

846
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:29,200
existing system on the left or 
right, you're actually making 

847
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,600
that system stronger. 
So it went you could their whole

848
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,400
bunch of conspiracy theories and
such on FTX. 

849
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,300
And, and when you look at it on 
the face of it, that you have 

850
00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:44,600
this complete fraudster, 
speaking at events, is 

851
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,900
celebrated by traditional media.
And, and I understand totally 

852
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:53,900
why That would that would look 
like a conspiracy theory but and

853
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:58,100
it might be but but everyone in 
the system trying to make enough

854
00:48:58,100 --> 00:49:01,800
money to get out of the system, 
is a part of making that system 

855
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,100
stronger. 
And and so that RIT that risk is

856
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,400
the risk. 
In the end is is just coercion. 

857
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:12,900
It's just I lock you to because 
I have to remove your individual

858
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:17,300
rights and freedoms to get you 
to stay in a system that's based

859
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:23,000
on manipulation and coercion. 
And so I have to and and as I 

860
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:29,200
centralized that system into a 
world government type of system 

861
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,900
or a w FV F type of system, I 
have to remove more of your 

862
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:37,000
rights to, to predict 
everything. 

863
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:41,400
Everybody wants with my power 
that I gained from the 

864
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,100
manipulation of money and living
standards have to go down in 

865
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:47,600
that world. 
I think you see Society, I think

866
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,000
you see Society Revolt long. 
Before it was here, I think you 

867
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,100
see what your is happening in 
China right now long before that

868
00:49:54,100 --> 00:50:00,100
happens but the question is do 
on bit on bitcoin. 

869
00:50:00,500 --> 00:50:04,500
Wait, when you realize all you 
have to do is is a nonviolent 

870
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,100
protest and you walk to the 
other side. 

871
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,100
You spend more of your time in 
that world. 

872
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:11,700
You literally create the world. 
You want to see in that pit 

873
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:12,900
world. 
I think that's what we're up 

874
00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:16,600
against. 
I love it. 

875
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,200
That's great. 
By the way, quick shout out to 

876
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,000
Kim clijsters in the audience. 
Big fan. 

877
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,900
Hey out. 
See proud psycho. 

878
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,400
You have a question or comment 
for Jeff. 

879
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,600
You had never been a huge fan, 
Jeff. 

880
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,000
So I just wanted to kind of 
chimed in and just look. 

881
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,800
Thanks, yeah. 
See how much, you know, and I 

882
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,900
suspect it's going to be 
happening to you more and more 

883
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,600
when I've listened to. 
So, listen to you so much. 

884
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,300
I feel like you're a friend, 
you're hearing my voice for the 

885
00:50:38,308 --> 00:50:40,600
first time. 
So I just wanted to again, 

886
00:50:40,700 --> 00:50:44,100
massive being and you were 
instrumental in me. 

887
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,100
And conviction. 
I guess I would like to ask is, 

888
00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:50,800
I mean, in terms of being, like,
in the Bitcoin Community, sort 

889
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,700
of the designated adult. 
I don't know if anyone's use 

890
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:55,900
that language about you, but 
that's the way it seems to me. 

891
00:50:55,900 --> 00:50:59,300
Always level-headed, always 
balanced, always reasons, I 

892
00:50:59,300 --> 00:51:02,200
guess my success rate in Orange 
pilling. 

893
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,200
And this, I guess is more of 
like a striking. 

894
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,400
A personal note here with your 
friends and family and stuff. 

895
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,400
What is your orange going ratio?
If you want to Riff on that. 

896
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,000
I would love to hear it, but 
don't feel like you have to So 

897
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,900
it's probably the same as all of
you. 

898
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:22,800
The it's now that I probably 
virtually all of my friends 

899
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,100
eventually buy some and they 
start to understand it but it is

900
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:29,900
it's been it's been way more 
painful painful than I would 

901
00:51:29,900 --> 00:51:33,700
have thought it would be because
it's it's when you living in the

902
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:35,700
new system you understand what 
that looks like. 

903
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,500
You think why can't everybody 
else see this? 

904
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:43,700
Why can't what these things 
they're saying are built on? 

905
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,700
Built on built on quicksand. 
It just keeps on going to eat 

906
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:49,400
like. 
Have you ever heard Turtles all 

907
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,000
the way down? 
Well, why does that exist? 

908
00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:53,900
Because they're worth is on a 
turtle. 

909
00:51:54,100 --> 00:51:56,800
Why does the turtle and spin 
too? 

910
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,600
Because there's Turtle under the
throw. 

911
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,800
And so these the things that are
in their belief structure that 

912
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:08,300
I've found the exact same thing.
When I say meet people where 

913
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:14,300
they are is because of a 
realization, most people when In

914
00:52:14,308 --> 00:52:16,100
Europe when you're in Bitcoin is
deep. 

915
00:52:16,100 --> 00:52:21,500
Is you are you think wow this is
that the entire world built on a

916
00:52:21,508 --> 00:52:25,000
lie and so much power. 
And any think that there's these

917
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,900
giant coordinated attacks by in 
everybody, in the existing 

918
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:31,800
system is part of it? 
And when you're talking to most 

919
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,300
people, you realize, if you say 
that you push them further away 

920
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:40,400
from Bitcoin and well that might
be true, I suspect it's more 

921
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,100
just it's just more function of 
hints. 

922
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,500
Santa's incentives, rule the 
world rule the world and we have

923
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:50,700
incentives that are based on 
theft and the world. 

924
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:56,300
And hey I'll sell ten before we 
get to. 

925
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:58,900
You will have you kind of end up
with our last question Dylan. 

926
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:02,200
I'm just wondering if you 
wouldn't mind jumping into real 

927
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,000
quick. 
What you guys are working on us 

928
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,700
when I put people in the 
audience and Dylan and damn rule

929
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:09,800
who's not here today, they do an
incredible job with some called 

930
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,700
Bitcoin magazine Pro, they're 
basically on The Cutting Edge of

931
00:53:12,700 --> 00:53:15,600
just some fantastic analysis. 
Both kind of in the macro 

932
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,000
markets as well as all across 
the Bitcoin space. 

933
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:21,500
You know, talking about Bitcoin 
and crypto exchanges, Bitcoin 

934
00:53:21,500 --> 00:53:24,200
Miners and everything in between
We need things to avoid, things 

935
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,000
to be careful of and and, and 
then just about the great truths

936
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
of Bitcoin Dylan. 
What are you and Sam? 

937
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,600
Working on this week. 
Anything exciting on your plate.

938
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:34,200
Yeah, we're just taking a look 
at some of the, some of the 

939
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,500
latest stuff happening with 
miners, would kind of see 

940
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:39,400
somewhat of a turnover and hash 
rate and also kind of doing it 

941
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,400
in depth analysis. 
Post-mortem on the, the kind of 

942
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,000
the crypto credit bubble. 
We've talked about it, a bunch 

943
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,500
but, you know, going in and 
looking at at defy yields now, 

944
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,500
defy, right decentralised 
finance that offer you one. 

945
00:53:52,700 --> 00:53:56,000
Sent yields while, you know, the
short duration, treasuries are 

946
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,500
for you for four and a half 
percent is certainly quite the 

947
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:00,300
dichotomy from from 24 months 
ago. 

948
00:54:00,300 --> 00:54:02,800
So we're writing about that a 
little bit today and you know, 

949
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,400
have a have a free version of so
everyone should check it out. 

950
00:54:06,100 --> 00:54:08,900
Ya could recommend it more you 
guys for you if you're in the 

951
00:54:08,900 --> 00:54:11,100
audience and you're not 
subscribed, it's free. 

952
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:14,100
We do have a paid thing too but 
the free subscription is 

953
00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:16,800
fantastic and you'll get some of
the greatest education out 

954
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,900
there, I think, on Bitcoin, in 
the Bitcoin space. 

955
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:22,200
So just a little fill their last
question or comment from El salt

956
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,400
and for Jeff. 
What's going on? 

957
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:26,400
Yeah, thanks. 
I guess just want to sort of 

958
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,000
chime and very quickly in the 
net ask, Jeff to questions. 

959
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:33,700
The first one being Jeff. 
How do you see coin state, 

960
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:35,700
adoption? 
Moving forward. 

961
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:39,500
Specifically talking about 
sanctioned countries, right? 

962
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:44,700
And I asked this somebody who 
comes from Venezuela and saw the

963
00:54:44,700 --> 00:54:49,300
Venezuelan government leveraging
Bitcoin mining, and creating 

964
00:54:49,300 --> 00:54:52,600
their own like centralized 
exchanges in the country. 

965
00:54:52,700 --> 00:54:57,900
He to wash some of their some of
their money and revenues right 

966
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:02,000
through Bitcoin excetera. 
So how yeah, I think that's 

967
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,800
question. 
Number one, that question 

968
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,200
probably just simply the 
technology that the technology 

969
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:11,000
that empowers people typically 
starts from the bottom up from 

970
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,400
the people most disadvantaged 
from a from an existing set of 

971
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,700
from the existing Monopoly. 
And just if you look at Bitcoin 

972
00:55:17,700 --> 00:55:20,700
through that, through that lens,
which I think you're going to 

973
00:55:20,700 --> 00:55:25,900
see is is An awfully of money is
going to be disrupted by by the 

974
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:28,400
people that are furthest away 
from that first, people 

975
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,400
individual people, and then some
of the Nations that are hurt the

976
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,300
most from the Monopoly of money 
today, protecting the court. 

977
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,600
So just think about the weather.
U.s. does why inflation hasn't 

978
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:44,400
gone up a long time ago? 
Is because what the US does is 

979
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:49,800
it needs that periphery Africa, 
Africa, South America for cheap 

980
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,500
Goods, to be able to keep 
inflation down it. 

981
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:54,700
Needs. 
So, that wage deflation has to 

982
00:55:54,700 --> 00:55:59,300
existence elsewhere or in China 
for it to keep inflation down. 

983
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:02,900
So that transfer is so, in other
words to protect its core and 

984
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,500
now that core is getting smaller
and that's happening all around 

985
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:11,000
the world and including disease,
us protect Japan and Europe or 

986
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,800
to let those fail to protect the
core, that's what you're saying 

987
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,100
today. 
Whereas the technology is 

988
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:22,600
neutral and that technology is 
out, it produces better off. 

989
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:26,900
Effect. 
Just like and you can't stop a 

990
00:56:26,900 --> 00:56:31,500
technology like this from being 
used by people that are farthest

991
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:35,300
away and that and every time 
every user of that whether it's 

992
00:56:35,300 --> 00:56:38,900
a country or an individual user 
is making that Network stronger 

993
00:56:38,900 --> 00:56:41,100
for all participants in that 
Network. 

994
00:56:41,300 --> 00:56:45,800
So I suspect eventually maybe 
before too long u.s. understands

995
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,200
that power and that and Embraces
it but it doesn't matter. 

996
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:55,400
It's going to happen anyways. 
I think I absolutely follow and 

997
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,700
just for context for everybody 
in the audience it's Jeff is 

998
00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:02,700
absolutely right because like 
couple of years ago when before 

999
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:06,400
the government's in Venezuela I 
started getting into Bitcoin 

1000
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,300
because they were essentially 
forced to losing access to the 

1001
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,700
global banking system, right? 
And Global Financial system was 

1002
00:57:13,700 --> 00:57:16,500
your sanctioned. 
It was a goal that what it 

1003
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:20,300
called the gold and Bitcoin H in
Venezuela so everybody mine 

1004
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:22,500
Bitcoin. 
To their microwave. 

1005
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:25,000
If your cousin was mining 
Bitcoin, you started doing the 

1006
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,500
same for you and your mom and 
everybody after you discovered, 

1007
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,600
after you got orange pill 
basically right. 

1008
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,000
But but once the government 
started getting its finger and 

1009
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:38,700
into Bitcoin, that's one the 
Crackdown started, right? 

1010
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:43,300
So military, confiscating mining
machines, the government running

1011
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:45,900
now, the biggest mining 
operations in the country me and

1012
00:57:45,900 --> 00:57:47,700
a couple of friends back in 
2016. 

1013
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:51,100
We have to sell the exchange 
trading and John. 

1014
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,800
We were building for ourselves 
to the government whether we'd 

1015
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,700
like that are not right? 
And for peanuts. 

1016
00:57:55,700 --> 00:57:59,900
So it's interesting to see how 
this authoritarian regimes 

1017
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,000
initially of their forced into 
the camp of having to support 

1018
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,900
it. 
And now what you see in 

1019
00:58:05,900 --> 00:58:09,400
Minnesota is the government, 
trying to take that back, right?

1020
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:14,000
So like trying to trying to find
people if they're using 

1021
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,500
Financial pain, digital 
payments, right? 

1022
00:58:16,500 --> 00:58:19,400
So like zel payments. 
It's banned in the country. 

1023
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,600
If you do that they close Your 
shop and stuff like that. 

1024
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,000
So yeah. 
I think an old ghost. 

1025
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,100
Yeah. 
And and and friend of you but if

1026
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:29,000
you just keep on going where you
went, that's why. 

1027
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,500
So you could, you could either 
centralize everything in very 

1028
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:35,500
few hands when the government 
control at through coercion and 

1029
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:39,500
force and your economy will 
suffer because the free market 

1030
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:42,200
is much more powerful and 
delivering value and higher 

1031
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,900
living standards or you could 
embrace it. 

1032
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,700
But what I just said there is 
really critical in, also a world

1033
00:58:49,700 --> 00:58:53,900
that's going to find Governments
on different sides of that coin.

1034
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:56,600
And so, what you need 
flexibility, and the one thing 

1035
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,800
that get Bitcoin also gives you 
as flexibility, you can, just if

1036
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,300
you can remember 12 words, you 
can get on the plane anywhere in

1037
00:59:02,300 --> 00:59:05,100
the world and that flexibility 
to go wherever you want. 

1038
00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:07,900
And there's going to be a lot of
countries, they're going to want

1039
00:59:07,900 --> 00:59:11,500
you. 
Stay chess. 

1040
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,100
Love it. 
And it just a respect Jeff's 

1041
00:59:16,100 --> 00:59:17,400
time. 
I think we should wrap it up 

1042
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,800
here, Jeff. 
If you could just give us a 

1043
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,900
final message here from where 
people can reach out to him and 

1044
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:24,300
Me, Maybe any projects that 
you're working on or anything. 

1045
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:26,900
I know a lot of people in the 
audience here are huge fans of 

1046
00:59:26,900 --> 00:59:28,600
your work. 
So what are you working on and 

1047
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,400
where can people find you? 
So I would have said, just find 

1048
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,400
me on Twitter at Jeff Booth but 
if you look at the method like, 

1049
00:59:34,900 --> 00:59:38,300
oh my God, the amount of chaos 
and Twitter these days. 

1050
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:42,600
I'd like the I can't read the 
tweets or so much spam the so 

1051
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:46,500
but Her is probably best or or 
ego death. 

1052
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,500
Capital for somebody wanted to 
find me on a you go to Catholic,

1053
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:54,000

time.
