The First Potential Bitcoin US President | EP 741 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:12
  Yeah welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live.
• 0:15
  Your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution
• 0:17
  record, breaking news culture magic Warfare.
• 0:19
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:23
  state we're back. We took a little bit of a break
• 0:26
  due to the biggest Bitcoin conference on the face of the
• 0:29
  Earth Bitcoin 2023. So amazing seeing a lot of you
• 0:34
  guys in the flesh in person. Really really appreciated.
• 0:38
  All the hugs, all the love Opti You know, got his cherry popped,
• 0:43
  he was on the analyst desk for the first time.
• 0:45
  I think he I think he absolutely killed it so exciting times but
• 0:50
  I think the signal was really some of the talks to me
• 0:56
  personally. One of my favorite was RF K Jr.
• 1:01
  Who is currently running for president, and he said some
• 1:04
  things that we're going to talk about today.
• 1:06
  And of course, another highlight for me personally was Tulsi
• 1:09
  gabbard and she had an incredible speech.
• 1:11
  As well. And I got to meet her in person,
• 1:15
  which was, it was amazing. So, definitely highlights.
• 1:19
  And the reason I'm focusing on those two specifically, is
• 1:22
  because we've seen, did this trend of partisanship
• 1:25
  specifically when it comes to bitcoin, like, it was the
• 1:27
  Republicans that are being a little bit more open-minded to
• 1:30
  it, but what I, and I said this also at the conference, the fact
• 1:35
  that it's two Democrats or Tulsi gabbard that was a Democrat, she
• 1:38
  kind of stepped away but RFK jr. Who's running as a mark rat,
• 1:42
  right? So now it's bipartisan and this
• 1:44
  is exactly what we want to happen.
• 1:46
  We don't want Bitcoin to become a partisan issue because it's
• 1:48
  not a partisan issue. It helps everybody equally
• 1:51
  right. So beautiful.
• 1:53
  Beautiful Trend. And again, I can't believe we
• 1:57
  have a person who's currently in second place trailing Joe Biden.
• 2:02
  You know, basically making the case for bitcoiners as to why
• 2:09
  bitcoiners should vote for him. And we've said this, Many times
• 2:12
  on the show, it's not Red vs. Blue Republican versus Democrat
• 2:15
  it´s, Orange versus green. And I'm glad he's on the party
• 2:20
  of green, you know? So very, very bullish about
• 2:22
  that. But before we start the show,
• 2:24
  when I bring up my legendary co-host.
• 2:26
  Always optimistic Opti. How you doing today, bro?
• 2:29
  How do you feel crazy crazy week, man?
• 2:32
  I feel great. I was just telling out everyone
• 2:33
  in spaces. It was an absolute Love Fest and
• 2:36
  it feels good to get your battery recharged with fellow
• 2:39
  lunatics out there. So, you know, shouts out to
• 2:42
  every single. One of you guys that came up to
• 2:44
  me, showed me love it, meant a lot.
• 2:46
  It's really inspiring that, you know, Nico and I can just talk
• 2:50
  into a computer and provide you guys value, and you guys
• 2:54
  incorporate us into your life and it's just, it blows my mind,
• 2:59
  this internet stuff. This this magic internet money
• 3:01
  really is an incredible incredible technology and tldr
• 3:06
  guys, we are winning and it's becoming more and more obvious
• 3:10
  that we are winning. It is World and everyone else is
• 3:13
  just living in it. So it feels good, man.
• 3:15
  It really, it really feels good to be on this side of Bitcoin
• 3:19
  content creation and seeing all the work that the Bitcoin mag
• 3:23
  team. Did all the work that all the
• 3:25
  bitcoiners did at the conference.
• 3:27
  And it's just beautiful, man. It's just it really does feel
• 3:30
  good in that. Obviously, I would have liked to
• 3:33
  stay in Miami, a little longer, but hey, we got to get back on
• 3:36
  the mission and get back to work.
• 3:38
  So, here we are. Here we are, but Nico.
• 3:40
  I can tell I can tell. Oh, you're still recovering a
• 3:42
  little bit. Your voice isn't fully back.
• 3:44
  Yeah, I'm recovering a little bit, my hair.
• 3:47
  My hair is still Kim. Is this guy?
• 3:50
  My hair is still tipped. If you guys want to know what
• 3:52
  happened, watch the previous live show.
• 3:54
  I think that we recorded last Tuesday.
• 3:56
  Also want to bring up very special guest, and actually a
• 3:59
  good good friend of mine. Consider him a brother, Chris
• 4:02
  Alamo. He's also the genius.
• 4:05
  He's he's, he's a lot of the lot of the brains behind the, the
• 4:10
  media organization over there. Coin magazine.
• 4:12
  How You Doing? Crystal Mo absolute, by the way.
• 4:15
  Absolutely slayed it. On the analyst desk.
• 4:18
  This guy was such a professional vote for Chris.
• 4:22
  I would vote for Craig would totally vote for Chris too.
• 4:25
  I don't want that responsibility.
• 4:26
  I saw vague saying simply Bitcoin recovering from Miami.
• 4:28
  Bitcoin magazine is definitely recovering from Miami, but no,
• 4:32
  truly a pleasure is guys. Thank you for having me here.
• 4:35
  You guys crush it on the news desk, as well.
• 4:37
  So glad to give you guys the opportunity to be up there.

  I had a fun time. Yeah, man.
• 4:40
  Well, I'm happy to hear. In the show.
• 4:42
  And today, we're going to talk about some things that happen at
• 4:44
  the conference probably throughout the week.
• 4:46
  We're going to talk about some things that happened the other
• 4:48
  throughout the conference. But today, specifically we're
• 4:50
  going to, we're going to cover RFK, Junior and some of his
• 4:55
  comments, some videos that he was in and we'll take it from
• 4:58
  there. Anyways, guys, no more delay.
• 4:59
  Let's jump straight into the show.
• 5:01
  Let's do it. The Bitcoin numbers brought to
• 5:07
  you by not all at this point. You should be running your own
• 5:10
  Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
• 5:11
  Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
• 5:15
  version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
• 5:17
  whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
• 5:21
  And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse

  So there's two cities that I really consider hubs, right?
• 5:52
  There's Austin which is like the Bitcoin energy Hub and then
• 5:56
  there's Nashville which I consider the cultural Hub
• 5:58
  Bitcoin magazine headquarters or their Bitcoin Park is There,
• 6:03
  it's freaking awesome. If you guys have never been, I
• 6:05
  definitely disagree at excuse to make the pilgrimage again,

  143 million u.s. dollars the realized monetary inflation rate
• 6:54
  of Bitcoin is 1.75 percent and the market capitalization of
• 6:58
  Bitcoin five hundred and twenty billion dollars with the B and
• 7:02
  the grand scheme of things. Bitcoin is still a baby anyways.
• 7:06
  An honor of Peaks today. Here's maybe an unknown fact for
• 7:09
  you but this is check out this tweet by JP underscore
• 7:14
  technology and he says on bitcoin Peaks today Lazlo.
• 7:18
  Hi hon, desk. Sorry guys.
• 7:21
  You know how bad I am. I pronouncing things is credited
• 7:23
  with performing Bitcoins first real world transaction, offering
• 7:27
  10,000 Bitcoin to whoever whoever would order him to
• 7:31
  pieces Right. Mind you that's like 276 million
• 7:36
  dollars today and a lot of people like why would he do
• 7:37
  that? Whatever you have to understand
• 7:39
  that nothing existed like Bitcoin before, like the idea
• 7:42
  that this thing would somehow value which is so odd to have
• 7:45
  values. So obvious in hindsight was not
• 7:49
  obvious whatsoever back, then, right?
• 7:51
  It was just kind of like this magic internet money experiment,
• 7:54
  but as soon as this transaction was made all of a sudden Bitcoin
• 7:59
  had value discs, gave it value, right?
• 8:01
  Which is why I think it's such a significant event.
• 8:05
  But here what I love about the sweetest, it shows the other
• 8:08
  side of the story. So but perhaps the true hero is
• 8:11
  Jeremy stirred Sturdivant. Who chose Bitcoin /, / Peak saw
• 8:17
  over dollars by accepting Hines X offer.
• 8:21
  So this guy made 10,000 Bitcoin for accepting.
• 8:28
  He, you know, he accepted Bitcoin instead of dollars, and
• 8:31
  if he hot He had old if hehad old, he'd be worth two hundred
• 8:35
  and seventy six million dollars today.
• 8:39
  Holy crap, Legend. But again, did he hotle is like,
• 8:44
  think about it. Like, if you're holding 10,000
• 8:46
  Bitcoins, all of a sudden Bitcoin goes up, to two, or
• 8:48
  three or four dollars, you're like, holy crap, you know, I
• 8:51
  made a fortune, it's only again, it's only in hindsight where
• 8:54
  these things become obvious. So this is what I want to talk
• 8:58
  about today. The big news is Robert Kennedy
• 9:01
  jr. Related.
• 9:02
  To President, Kennedy of the 1960s.
• 9:04
  I got assassinated and he made, he made his first public
• 9:09
  appearance as a presidential candidate.
• 9:11
  The Bitcoin 20:23 conference. That's a very big statement,
• 9:15
  right? So, in politics or these
• 9:17
  announcements, don't take these types of things lately.
• 9:22
  It's not a coincidence. It was a, it was a strategic
• 9:25
  move and I'll play a part of his speech that he made that.
• 9:30
  He said all the right things like this is, he was Very pretty
• 9:32
  well, prepared to talk to bitcoiners.
• 9:35
  I'm going to play it for you guys and then we'll talk about
• 9:36
  it. our campaign will be the first presidential campaign in
• 9:42
  history, to accept Bitcoin donations through Through the
• 9:51
  lightning Network. And today, we move one step
• 9:55
  closer to the Future. Today, we show the world, the
• 9:59
  power, and the durability, and he flexibility of Bitcoin.
• 10:04
  I want to conclude by saying, as almost everyone in this room is
• 10:09
  aware of the link between Bitcoin and democracy and
• 10:13
  freedom. And that's why almost everybody
• 10:17
  I met that. I need who is involved in,
• 10:21
  Bitcoin is passionate about it. It's, they're not passionate
• 10:24
  because it's an interesting currency are passionate because
• 10:28
  of the deep representation of a deep need that we have our
• 10:33
  Liberty and democracy. See and the promise that this
• 10:36
  innovation has to guarantee those virtues.
• 10:42
  Oh. And we we are now living in this
• 10:47
  age of TurnKey totalitarianism with this emerging technology,
• 10:52
  which can Empower totalitarian regimes.
• 10:55
  And our job is to try to build and fortify Democratic
• 10:58
  institutions at the same rate as that totalitarian, instruments
• 11:03
  are being expanded and their power.
• 11:06
  Things like AI, which really are going to threaten democracy at
• 11:09
  its base. We need to not be chipping away
• 11:11
  at our Democratic institutions. We need to be fortified in the
• 11:15
  ones that exist and building new ones in the biggest most
• 11:19
  important. One on the horizon is Bitcoin,
• 11:22
  because it can't be manipulated all of you.
• 11:26
  I know are here again, not because you love it currency,
• 11:29
  but because you love our country, love democracy, love
• 11:31
  freedom, and in that sense, your support of Bitcoin, puts you in
• 11:36
  the same category as the framers of the Constitution that gave us
• 11:41
  that bill of right that created these democratic.
• 11:44
  Matush ins and you are the current manifestation of that
• 11:48
  impulse. So thank you all very much for
• 11:50
  everything. Thank you for being part of this
• 11:53
  movement. Yeah, absolutely I heard someone
• 11:57
  mention you know that something about his voice eat so he has a
• 12:00
  he has a neurological disability now that that's why he speaks
• 12:02
  that way for anyone who doesn't know.
• 12:05
  Anyways so I actually kind of wanted to focus on some things
• 12:09
  that he said as well specific things that he would protect as
• 12:12
  president. And I know a lot of You're
• 12:15
  inherently anti-politics, you're inherently anti-politics
• 12:19
  politicians. And the the case that I always
• 12:21
  make is sure maybe after the transition politics become
• 12:26
  irrelevant, if you read the book, The sovereign individual,
• 12:28
  they make that they make a case for that.
• 12:30
  Right? I tend to agree with the theory
• 12:33
  but it's during the transition period that politicians can make
• 12:37
  your life a living. Hell specifically if you live
• 12:38
  in, in a certain jurisdiction, right?
• 12:41
  So you know, like I always said, There's going to be an
• 12:44
  inevitable clash between the party of green, the party of
• 12:47
  orange and we better hope we have as many people.
• 12:51
  Powerful people influential people on the side of orange
• 12:54
  when that class happens or maybe there isn't a class.
• 12:57
  Maybe this is like, it's a slow, it's a slow transition.
• 13:03
  Anyways, goes on to say, quote as president, I will make sure
• 13:07
  that your right to hold and use Bitcoin is in in voluble.
• 13:12
  Kennedy said, I am an ardent. Fender and a lifelong defender
• 13:15
  of civil liberties. As was his, you know as was his
• 13:19
  relative John F Kennedy. And Bitcoin is both an exercise
• 13:24
  and a guarantee of those freedoms who none of these law,
• 13:27
  none of these lawful and peaceful protesters had violated
• 13:30
  any law. But suddenly they found that
• 13:32
  they could not access their money, their bank accounts to
• 13:35
  pay their mortgages or feed their families, quote.
• 13:38
  When I witnessed this devastating use of government
• 13:40
  repression. I really realized for the first
• 13:42
  time how free money? Is important as free expression.
• 13:46
  Of course, he's talking about the the the trucker's protest,
• 13:50
  which I might add, you know, Bitcoin magazine did an
• 13:54
  incredible job supporting. I know that you guys released a
• 13:57
  cover specifically covering that.
• 14:00
  So I'm very thankful for you guys doing that over there,
• 14:02
  Chris goes on to say, Kennedy has publicly expressed his
• 14:06
  support for Bitcoin since May 20, 23 acknowledging, a
• 14:09
  knowledge. In its separation from other
• 14:10
  cryptocurrencies and indicating that legislator legislature.
• 14:14
  You should support its development rather than hinder
• 14:16
  it as with regulations. Like the B administration's
• 14:19
  proposed tax on energy used by miners on stage.
• 14:22
  He reinforces distaste for such regulations and he outlined the
• 14:27
  steps. His administration would take to
• 14:29
  drive Bitcoin innovation in the u.s. goes on to say, firstly
• 14:34
  first I will defend the right of self custody of Bitcoin and
• 14:37
  other digital assets. He said second I will uphold the
• 14:40
  uphold the right to run a node at home.
• 14:43
  Third I will I'll defend use neutral industry, neutral
• 14:46
  regulation of energy forth. I will make sure that the United
• 14:50
  States Remains the Global Hub of Bitcoin and other
• 14:53
  cryptocurrencies. I will reverse the government's
• 14:55
  growing hostility towards the industry.
• 14:59
  Finally said that he would look closely at whether individuals
• 15:02
  like Ross ulbricht, the founder of darknet Bilk.
• 15:05
  The founder of Silk Road, who received a double life sentence,
• 15:09
  where prosecute were prosecuted, quote, for actual crimes, or as
• 15:12
  a meme to crap. Crap.
• 15:14
  Down on crypto, went on to say I will consider parting him and I
• 15:18
  will act very quickly to do so not direct confirmation.
• 15:24
  But yeah. And I think that the most
• 15:27
  influential part of all, this is the fact that this was his first
• 15:32
  major Pub. No.
• 15:33
  His first public appearance as an official presidential
• 15:37
  candidate, this is crazy. I could not have imagined it to
• 15:42
  go this quickly. He sends, you know, the original
• 15:45
  Announcement by name, bouquet, lay Bitcoin 2021 like things
• 15:50
  have moved so quickly. The end, I said this on the
• 15:53
  analyst desk, I'm going to say it again here.
• 15:55
  There is a nonzero chance that we have a pro Bitcoin anti CBD.
• 16:02
  See president in the White House in 2024, not only on the
• 16:06
  Democratic side, but also on the rub Republican side with
• 16:10
  Governor Ron DeSantis and he just signed into law in the
• 16:14
  Eight State of Florida and anti Central Bank.
• 16:16
  Digital currency bill. This is absolutely incredible.
• 16:20
  We know Trump doesn't like Bitcoin.
• 16:21
  He's very blunt about why he doesn't like it.
• 16:23
  He says the quiet part out loud and then the by demonstration,
• 16:26
  they don't like to say the quiet part out loud but they clearly
• 16:29
  don't don't like that. So, you know, and the reason for
• 16:31
  that is simple, we've talked about this many times we've
• 16:34
  beat. We've beat this dead horse a
• 16:35
  million times and you know, the Santa said it right?
• 16:39
  Just not just crazy. Bitcoin are saying it, obviously
• 16:42
  they want to control the bunny, you control?
• 16:44
  Money, you control people and they want to maintain the
• 16:46
  privilege of being able to create money for free that the
• 16:49
  rest of us have to work for, right?
• 16:51
  So these politicians that have benefited tremendously from the
• 16:54
  system, obviously going to be a hostile Bitcoin, but I want to
• 16:58
  applaud the Bitcoin magazine team.
• 17:00
  You guys did an incredible job, getting him all seats also Tulsi
• 17:05
  gabbard as well. I suspect these Bitcoin
• 17:09
  conferences, they're amazing because they break the echo
• 17:13
  chamber. Aren't people that irregular go
• 17:15
  on bitcoin podcast? These are mainstream officials
• 17:20
  that are talking about this and they're talking about the ethos
• 17:23
  of Bitcoin of the benefits of Bitcoin.
• 17:24
  So, you know, hats off to you Chris and the whole Bitcoin
• 17:29
  magazine team. You guys absolutely slate it and
• 17:32
  I can't wait for Bitcoin, 2024 in Nashville.
• 17:37
  What type of guess you guys are going to book their that's going
• 17:40
  to be very, very exciting as well.
• 17:41
  So Chris, what's your take? And then we'll pass it on top.
• 17:44
  Opti. Yeah, definitely.
• 17:45
  I got a lot of points. I think it was a great
• 17:47
  conversation. It's definitely doing really,
• 17:48
  really well on YouTube. So obviously the mainstream, the
• 17:52
  masses are loving it as well. First point you mentioned the
• 17:55
  lightning Network, I know Bitcoin gets hit a lot by
• 17:58
  calling it a boomer technology, you know, a lot of other
• 18:00
  cryptocurrencies. Say there's no innovation, it's
• 18:02
  not fast, it's slow takes 10 minutes.
• 18:04
  He mentioned that you can donate using the lightning that Mark, I
• 18:08
  think that's fast and political candidate presidential,
• 18:11
  political candidate to accept Bitcoin.
• 18:14
  He knew the difference between on chain Bitcoin, and lightning,
• 18:16
  you know, lightning Network and the light, using the lightning
• 18:19
  Network to donate, I think it was very fascinating that he
• 18:21
  mentioned the Canadian. Truckers we have the chance,
• 18:24
  Nico Opti, and myself to talk to be TC sessions and talking
• 18:27
  about, like, learning from the mistakes of the Canadian
• 18:31
  truckers protest. And obviously, when you use the
• 18:33
  aunt, when you use on chain Bitcoin, there's inherent risk
• 18:35
  to being kyc. So if you bought your I mean,
• 18:38
  from kyc exchange, when the Canadian government did a
• 18:41
  Crackdown basically they were able to say, hey Kris, bought it
• 18:44
  from Finance coinbase, whatever exchange, you strike Swan,
• 18:48
  whatever. And if they force companies to
• 18:51
  Doc's, who bought Bitcoin and what the addresses were from,
• 18:55
  basically you can get docks when you're using the lightning
• 18:57
  Network. It's not inherently private for
• 18:59
  someone that's receiving the Bitcoin, but it is more private
• 19:02
  for someone sending Bitcoin. So this is a good thing for
• 19:04
  donations. If I'd wanted to donate to RFK,
• 19:07
  I don't have to Doc's Who I Am by sending it over the lightning
• 19:10
  Network. I think this is a very important
• 19:11
  thing. It keeps anonymity involved and
• 19:14
  it helps protect basically that if someone gets in office is
• 19:17
  that they don't like this Bitcoin thing, you donate to
• 19:19
  RFK, you're like on a list. Now, for the government, this is
• 19:22
  a way to keep it more private, which I think is a big one
• 19:24
  percent. Like like I said, this was a big
• 19:27
  thing for the masses. Obviously, RFK is a Kennedy.
• 19:30
  He it's like a family name. Obviously, his uncle was a
• 19:32
  president. That was unfortunately.
• 19:34
  It's a sedated back in the 60s but he's a known name.
• 19:37
  That's Well known to like the masses and people all over the
• 19:40
  world. So I think this is very
• 19:42
  important because you're like hey you know RFK, the Kennedys
• 19:45
  always talking about Bitcoin, I've never heard about Bitcoin
• 19:47
  before or oh like, wow. This is very interesting.
• 19:50
  It was that a Bitcoin conference and its first time talking, was
• 19:52
  that a Bitcoin conference that's interesting.
• 19:54
  It makes someone that's never heard of Bitcoin or it's like
• 19:56
  their first touch point to be like.
• 19:57
  Wow, a presidential candidate is thinking about Bitcoin.
• 20:00
  Maybe this is important technology important protocol
• 20:02
  and important money that I should look into.
• 20:05
  So I hope that this helps break up the masses to understand and
• 20:07
  go Oh, like down the rabbit hole of what is bitcoin.
• 20:10
  I think it's very important that we had Vivek ramaswamy.
• 20:12
  Who's a republican? We had Tulsi gabbard who is an
• 20:15
  independent or she was a Democrat, what like leaning more
• 20:18
  Republican, conservative. And now, she's kind of an
• 20:20
  independent and then we had RFK, who's a Democrat.
• 20:22
  So we basically have covering all our bases that at this is
• 20:25
  bipartisan money. This is not a partisan issue,
• 20:28
  you know, it's four, Democrats, four, Republicans, or people
• 20:31
  that are politically homeless. Like, I think it's, that's very,
• 20:34
  very important. One more thing and I hate to put
• 20:36
  my Niko Jones hat on Here but Bitcoin magazine.
• 20:39
  We're obviously monitoring a lot of you know, conservative
• 20:42
  Twitter, profile handles Democratic Twitter profile,
• 20:45
  profile handles and all this the Democrats or I forget which
• 20:49
  handle it was but they were listing if Biden is going to run
• 20:52
  in 2020 for, you know, basically Biden was at the top, then
• 20:56
  Kamala Harris was second then Clinton and there's a list of
• 20:59
  other Democrats. RFK was not listed as a
• 21:02
  potential for winning the election and showing percentages
• 21:05
  of like what people think they were.
• 21:06
  And then there was also another other column for if he doesn't
• 21:09
  run, it was basically Kamala. Harris was the top then then
• 21:11
  Hillary Clinton was second and then a bunch of other Democrats.
• 21:14
  Once again, he was not listed in the poll for either for thinking
• 21:17
  that he has a chance of winning. And there were some Democrats
• 21:19
  that were like polling at less than half a percent.
• 21:21
  It's like, oh, it's very interesting that they didn't
• 21:24
  include Robert Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy jr.
• 21:27
  On their polling list for potential candidate to win.
• 21:30
  So very, very interesting. Why the mainstream media and the
• 21:32
  mainstream? I guess, the political leap to
• 21:35
  the Democratic class are not including them.
• 21:38
  Even though he is a Democrat by name.
• 21:40
  Very, very interesting. I will reiterate one last point.
• 21:43
  I'll send it over to you guys Q. My good friend Q guy.
• 21:46
  Amy, that was on the news desk. A bunch for us at this year's
• 21:49
  conference. He said, don't trust verify,
• 21:51
  he's like we've been burned. One too many times by
• 21:53
  politicians, he will say that. He really loved what RFK was
• 21:57
  saying, he said his scriptwriter and everything, they nailed it
• 22:00
  on the head in this talk. He thinks it was the best of the
• 22:03
  three political candidates for talking about Bitcoin and
• 22:06
  everything, but don't trust verify We've been burned one too
• 22:08
  many times by Eric Adams of New York and many other politicians
• 22:12
  basically, using Bitcoin to try and grift to try and gain votes
• 22:15
  to try and gain their donations. Only for them to do a 180 and
• 22:18
  flip on us and say, oh, Bitcoins bad for the environment or
• 22:21
  mining is bad for the environment.
• 22:22
  So while I am very happy with RFK, you know, making his first
• 22:25
  stop at our conference and like, saying to the masses, like this
• 22:28
  is definitely good for people to wake up and learn about Bitcoin,
• 22:31
  but don't trust them like, you know, believe in their actions
• 22:34
  not in what they say. So I'll be very very interesting
• 22:37
  to see if he gets Office or even what he says throughout the
• 22:39
  trail regarding Bitcoin going forward.
• 22:42
  So I hope that was a good recap back over to you optio when he
• 22:45
  wasn't no and I can't read her reiterate that enough.
• 22:48
  Like Chris, I think you hit the nail on the head, right.
• 22:51
  It's it don't trust verify, you know, but I think the signal and
• 22:55
  you buried the lead there, a little bit was if you see
• 22:58
  independent polls, he's actually in second place is 19% support.
• 23:03
  And the Democratic, I don't call it mainstream media anymore.
• 23:07
  Or I think independent content creators are like the mainstream
• 23:10
  media now. And I think that, you know, as
• 23:12
  time progressed in next, 5-10 years Legacy, Media will
• 23:15
  continue to die off. And like the truth Sayer is that
• 23:19
  were on Legacy Media and Chris me and you have gone back and
• 23:22
  forth on this. Like one of the biggest
• 23:23
  proponents of Bitcoin was Tucker.
• 23:26
  Carlson second, most popular broadcaster in the world.
• 23:29
  Trailing Joe Rogan 3.5, average views, and listens per episode,
• 23:33
  and he was taken off air, right? So, it's interesting, right?
• 23:36
  Like the But per the Bitcoin supporters for some reason, it's
• 23:41
  like this can't happen. And one other interesting part
• 23:44
  is like the apparently, the Democratic National Convention,
• 23:48
  they don't even want to have a debate between RFK and bited.
• 23:53
  They don't even want to allow debate.
• 23:55
  So and that is unprecedented in American history.
• 23:58
  Like that doesn't happen, right? This is this is some crazy
• 24:02
  totalitarian stuff. I think this is not just a
• 24:05
  Democrat thing. I think this is the unipart He
• 24:08
  fighting back trying to protect their moat trying to protect
• 24:11
  their privilege of being able to create money for free.
• 24:14
  That everyone else has to work for in order to fund the endless
• 24:17
  Wars and all the other programs and things of which, you know,
• 24:22
  the bill overcharged for certain things and they'll pocket the
• 24:26
  difference, right? It's not a coincidence that
• 24:29
  Nancy Pelosi and you know to just to name one there's plenty
• 24:34
  have hundred million dollar, net.
• 24:35
  Worths how do you and Elizabeth Warren to say it?
• 24:38
  Straight have, you know, 50 to 100 million dollar net where
• 24:41
  it's, and they're on a government salary out, is that
• 24:44
  happened, you know, a lot of questions there.
• 24:47
  So, you know, it makes sense why they would fight back anyways.
• 24:50
  Opti, what's your take on this? I know that opt he's not a fan
• 24:53
  of politicians whatsoever. So what's your take on this
• 24:56
  brother? Yeah, well obviously I agree
• 24:58
  with you guys and my take is a little more cynical which is
• 25:02
  kind of what Q was saying, like chefs out to the big Corner that
• 25:05
  wrote RFK speech or rather maybe just briefed him.
• 25:07
  Come on bitcoin because he absolutely slayed it.
• 25:10
  RFK basically said, almost all the right things and it is
• 25:14
  beautiful to see that the Bitcoin message is getting
• 25:17
  outside of just all of us on Twitter.
• 25:19
  And what do we talk about all the time here?
• 25:21
  It's the importance of breaking, the Bitcoin Echo chamber and
• 25:24
  like I say it all the time and Niko mentioned like I am
• 25:27
  fundamentally distrustful politics but something that Nico
• 25:30
  told me and it really, really sunk in is we don't have to
• 25:33
  trust him if his incentives are aligned with Bitcoin.
• 25:36
  Then we may be On the Vanguard of a new political game.
• 25:39
  And let's not forget that politics is all about power and
• 25:42
  the money printer fuels that power.
• 25:44
  So I think we are starting to see a New Horizon here and it's
• 25:50
  kind of kudos to the Bitcoin mag team and all of us that are
• 25:53
  trying to break out of the echo chamber because we don't have to
• 25:57
  convince each other about Bitcoin being right.
• 26:00
  It's about trying to convince the Normie out there that.
• 26:02
  Hey, maybe we have something here that you want to use.
• 26:06
  That will improve your life that Escapes you from the Fiat Rat
• 26:09
  Race. So it is very interesting to see
• 26:12
  a Pradesh, presidential candidate or potential
• 26:14
  presidential candidate, endorse Bitcoin again cynical.
• 26:17
  Take as someone that skeptical politics, it does feel a lot
• 26:21
  like I like Bitcoin. Send me Bitcoin Vibes so I will
• 26:24
  be a little mindful of not being fully endorsing a presidential
• 26:29
  candidate but again it's something we say all the time
• 26:32
  that Bitcoin is breaking into the mainstream.
• 26:38
  Aim and bitcoiners are becoming one of the biggest and largest
• 26:41
  voting blocks in the world. So I love hearing him.
• 26:44
  Talk about what we talked about and I don't think we need to be
• 26:48
  allowed to use Bitcoin. The Imperial City has no power
• 26:51
  here. You don't need permission to run
• 26:53
  an Ode to stack SATs and take Bitcoin into self.
• 26:55
  Custody, it's permissionless monetary Network by Design, the
• 26:59
  most inclusive and fair money in the world.
• 27:01
  So it is awesome to see. It starting to become a
• 27:03
  bipartisan issue. But again I'm a I'm a paranoid.
• 27:08
  Big corner. I'm skeptical politics in
• 27:10
  general because we know like Chris said that we've been
• 27:12
  burned in the past. Yeah, Opti just following up off
• 27:16
  that we're seeing the sovereign individual play out politician.
• 27:20
  Bitcoin doesn't need politicians politicians, need Bitcoin,
• 27:23
  that's for the point that we're at right now.
• 27:25
  Very hundred percent 100%. So we'll stay on top of this
• 27:28
  guy's as it develops but uh holy crap.
• 27:31
  I can't believe we are here in the movie.
• 27:33
  Have boy oh boy have things escalated very very quickly it
• 27:36
  was really you know 2020 Bitcoin 2021.
• 27:40
  This is Jack mahler's speech, 9 bouquet Lee and things have
• 27:43
  accelerated. And I think next cycle, Michael
• 27:47
  sailor is going to be Vindicated in the public company front and
• 27:50
  on the nation. State level 9 bouquet is going
• 27:53
  to be Vindicated as well. And I know we're over the Target
• 27:55
  because the Legacy corporate media is absolutely going
• 27:58
  bananas. And you know, they're trying to
• 28:00
  spin it and the trying to misrepresent it and they're
• 28:03
  doing everything in their power, to try to throw things at this.
• 28:06
  But, you know, it's just, it's going to be undeniable, you
• 28:11
  know, the, the next cycle. So 2024 End of 2020 for heading
• 28:16
  into 2025. Anyways, everybody.
• 28:18
  No more delay. Let's jump straight into knees.
• 28:20

  the conference is download the orange pill app.
• 29:37
  It's a great way to connect with bitcoiners near you anyway.
• 29:42
  So some news coming out of Europe Mika and what's
• 29:47
  interesting about me cuz you know, in Christine Lagarde off
• 29:50
  these ex-girlfriend who you know, is hell-bent on String
• 29:53
  Bitcoin because Opti broke her heart or maybe it was the other
• 29:56
  way around. I have no idea Abdi clearly did
• 29:58
  something, but basically she referred to this as you know
• 30:04
  what she hoped that the Mika was going to be used to cut off the
• 30:10
  clothes, the Escape valve so to speak.
• 30:12
  And that's her term, right? And you know in the Fiat system
• 30:16
  if there's an escape valve people are going to use it.
• 30:18
  Christine does Christine lagarde's words is not my words
• 30:21
  so it finally passed. It was it was unanimously
• 30:24
  passed. I'm gonna get into the details
• 30:25
  of what it is. So it says EU Council sounds on
• 30:28
  Mika regulation new reporting requirements on crypto assets.
• 30:31
  It goes on to say the eu's council which represents 27
• 30:34
  member states, unanimously approved, the markets and crypto
• 30:38
  assets regulation making the block set up set to be the first
• 30:42
  major jurisdiction in the world with crypto licensing.
• 30:44
  Regime Mica requires crypto firms such as wallet providers
• 30:48
  and exchanges to seek a license to operate across the block and
• 30:52
  stable coin is Issuers to hold suitable reserves.
• 30:55
  The rules are expected to be rolled out from 2024 quote
• 30:58
  ministers. Also agreed on new measures to
• 31:00
  for script over providers to disclose details of their
• 31:03
  customers Holdings to tax authorities, which will be
• 31:06
  shared within a block in a bid to avoid stashing funds and
• 31:09
  secret overseas wallets, that's the part that I got.
• 31:12
  I want you guys to pay attention to That's not how it works.
• 31:17
  What do you mean? Secret overseas wallets that?
• 31:21
  Maybe that applies to how the current banking system works
• 31:24
  River. That's a very big tell it tells
• 31:26
  you a lot, right? Because that's how they perceive
• 31:29
  this thing they're trying to apply the old mechanisms of
• 31:32
  control, and they're trying to apply that onto something of
• 31:36
  which they can't look, they can regulate the on and off ramps,
• 31:39
  all they want. I feel like that's what they're
• 31:41
  going to put the most pressure on.
• 31:43
  I also suspect Fact that you know especially mobile wallets.
• 31:47
  Like if you download a mobile wallet and you have an iPhone,
• 31:50
  you know, you have to go through the App Store approval process
• 31:53
  which is very easy for governments to knock on the door
• 31:56
  of apple and say, Hey, listen, you can't allow people to
• 32:00
  download a wallet unless that while it has kyc built-in,
• 32:04
  right? And I think this is where this
• 32:06
  is heading. So it goes on to say, quote, the
• 32:08
  agreed on a requirement that from January 20 26 service
• 32:11
  providers obtain the name of sin Is and beneficiaries and crypto
• 32:16
  assets, regardless of the amount being transferred.
• 32:19
  Remember, it was $1000. First I was like no no no a
• 32:22
  thousand dollars is okay, not they got rid of that all
• 32:24
  together. Now it's report everything and
• 32:28
  it goes on to say there was also an agreement on amending rules
• 32:31
  on how member countries cooperate with each other in
• 32:34
  taxation to cover transactions in crypto assets and on
• 32:37
  exchanging information on Advance tax rulings for the
• 32:40
  wealthiest individuals, right? But I think again You have to
• 32:45
  combine this with what the proposed regulations, where,
• 32:49
  from the IMF and it's a big tell because the proposed regulation
• 32:53
  from the IMF which are very similar to what Europe rolled
• 32:56
  out with Mika is the IMF said, the quiet part out loud, they
• 33:00
  said the there these regulations are an attempt to stop the
• 33:05
  adoption of Bitcoin, right? So the IMF is saying the reality
• 33:10
  of why they want to do this. We've talked about the financial
• 33:13
  act action task force. Many times on the show, it's an
• 33:16
  N unelected. It's a nun, elective
• 33:19
  Administration that basically gives guidance to the world
• 33:23
  about what their financial Financial regulation should be,
• 33:28
  it's always under the guise of money, laundering terrorism, you
• 33:33
  know, drugs etc, etc, etc. And again kind of saying the
• 33:38
  part of The Quiet part allowed, it's important that you connect
• 33:40
  the dots, because if you just see Mica by itself, you be like,
• 33:42
  Nico, you're seeing things. But if you Connecting the dots
• 33:45
  Point paints a different story. So Financial action task force,
• 33:49
  pushes Pakistan to ban Bitcoin, urges G7 to enact stricter
• 33:54
  Financial surveillance. Pakistani government is set to
• 33:58
  ban Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the country.
• 34:00
  Following the financial action. Task force Guidance, with the
• 34:03
  wild Financial action, urges more countries to adopt its
• 34:08
  surveillance regime. So like, you know, I think this
• 34:12
  is just the first step in Europe like we Really know what the
• 34:15
  financial action task force, and they advise every country in the
• 34:18
  G7 what to do. So they did, they already
• 34:20
  telling they're already telling you what they want.
• 34:22
  They want this thing, banned outright and then connect us
• 34:25
  with opt. He's ex-girlfriends words the
• 34:27
  Escape valve, right? So this is just a slow creep and
• 34:31
  this is why it's so important to connect it with RF K Jr.
• 34:34
  In the beginning, this is why it's so poor important to have
• 34:38
  you know influential people on both sides of the political
• 34:42
  aisle, saying the quiet part out loud.
• 34:44
  Say Saying, as to why they want to ban this saying, as to why
• 34:49
  they want Central Bank, digital currencies, it's not bitcoiners
• 34:52
  saying this, it's it's RFK jr. It's Rhonda Santa's, it's Tulsi
• 34:57
  gabbard. And they're literally telling
• 34:59
  you it's because they want to control you.
• 35:02
  It's not Bitcoin or saying this. It's them saying that bitcoiners
• 35:06
  did say it first though. Quote Pakistan will ban
• 35:08
  cryptocurrency services from operating in the country and
• 35:11
  never lie and never legalized crypto Trading Pasha said,
• 35:15
  Banning crypto was one of the requirements set by the
• 35:18
  financial action task force, which remove Pakistan from its
• 35:21
  grey list in October. You see how they do that, right?
• 35:24
  Will remove you from the grey list, but you got a band
• 35:26
  Bitcoin. It's very similar to you guys.
• 35:28
  Remember what, what the conditions were for Argentina?
• 35:31
  If I if the IMF were to give them a bailout, what did they
• 35:34
  say to the Argentine government? You must be incentivise.
• 35:38
  The adoption of Bitcoin. Mmm.
• 35:39
  So is it really about money laundering?
• 35:43
  Is it really about money laundering?
• 35:45
  Goes on to say quote the grey list contains countries the body
• 35:48
  considers deficient and anti-money laundering and
• 35:50
  counterterrorism financing measures but they are working
• 35:53
  with it to remedy their shortcomings.
• 35:55
  Cryptocurrency has been gaining increasing popularity in
• 35:58
  Pakistan with the annual trading.
• 35:59
  Volume going up to 25 billion up from approximately 18 to 20
• 36:04
  billion banks in Pakistan. Have already started, informing
• 36:07
  customers that crypto currency trading is illegal.
• 36:09
  It goes on to say. This attempted band comes at a
• 36:12
  time of political turmoil for And while quote, the Pakistani
• 36:17
  Rupees value has fallen a staggering 57.4% against the
• 36:21
  dollar over the past year. So I'm going to say this because
• 36:25
  I think this is the part where it's ended, it's an indefensible
• 36:29
  position for them, they want you to lose the money that that
• 36:33
  decreases in value. They're forcing you to use a
• 36:36
  money. This is not only happening in
• 36:38
  Pakistan. This happened in Nigeria.
• 36:40
  This happened in Argentina in Argentina as the most disgusting
• 36:43
  out of everything. Ng. 104 percent inflation.
• 36:49
  Supposed to the IMF was held was set up, right?
• 36:52
  And I and I asked Alex gladstein point-blank about this for at
• 36:55
  the thank God for Bitcoin event and we had a fireside chat and I
• 37:00
  asked him, I said they're lying, aren't they?
• 37:03
  Right. And it's about power and
• 37:05
  control. So, the IMF is not, you know,
• 37:07
  the IMF in the financial action task force.
• 37:09
  I don't believe them. This is not about money.
• 37:11
  Laundering is about protecting. Their moat is about destroying.
• 37:16
  That escape valve. And if it means forcing people
• 37:19
  to endure 57 percent inflation or 104 percent inflation, they
• 37:25
  don't care. That's fine.
• 37:27
  What is a bigger threat to financial stability of the
• 37:30
  individuals of these countries Bitcoin or dealing with 57 to
• 37:37
  104 percent inflation? What do you think is a bigger
• 37:40
  threat to financial stability of these countries?
• 37:43
  Obviously the inflation but It's a threat to the IMF and the
• 37:49
  financial action task force moat and that's what this is about.
• 37:52
  Don't get gas-lit, don't buy into these.
• 37:55
  But will buzz words that they keep saying money laundering,
• 37:58
  Financial stability, volatility bullshit, make them ask the
• 38:02
  question, make them answer the question because they do not
• 38:05
  have a response to it. That's why the treasury avoids.
• 38:07
  It like the plague. People are not opting out into
• 38:12
  Bitcoin because they want more efficient payments people are
• 38:15
  opting out Into Bitcoin because they want to use a money that
• 38:19
  doesn't fucking steal from them. That is the reason that they're
• 38:23
  opting out, they don't have a response to that make them
• 38:26
  answer that question, pressure them color within the lines, you
• 38:30
  got to do what you got to do it right?
• 38:31
  Make them answer that question, very simple question, why are we
• 38:35
  being forced to use a money that steals from us?
• 38:39
  Why are we doing that? Money can exist now.
• 38:42
  And Bitcoin has proven this money can exist that.
• 38:44
  Not only does it do Only does it not steal from you but it
• 38:48
  actually increases in purchasing power over time and that's
• 38:51
  something that we have to continue to highlight.
• 38:53
  And that's something that we have to continue to expose and
• 38:56
  our memetics are much better than theirs.
• 38:59
  They have a narrative, they have lies and misrepresentations and
• 39:02
  spin. We have the truth on our side,
• 39:04
  all we got to do is highlight the truth.
• 39:06
  If enough, people wake up to this reality and take self
• 39:09
  custody we win and there's nothing they can do about it.
• 39:12
  Anyways, pass it on to you Chris and then Opti yeah, definitely I
• 39:16
  think One of the most important wallets that is going on right
• 39:18
  now. You mentioned kind of like with
• 39:20
  mobile wallets. There's issues with that if the
• 39:22
  App Store decides to band use of mobile Bitcoin wallets.
• 39:26
  Mutiny wallet, is a team by Tony Benn the car, man.
• 39:29
  And Paul Miller, they're trying to do a web-based wallet.
• 39:32
  So meaning, as long as you have connection to a web browser, you
• 39:35
  can use this wallet and basically, they're integrating,
• 39:37
  you know, Bitcoin core and a lightning node running on the
• 39:40
  web, which is very, very cool and it's awesome.
• 39:43
  It's a way to skirt around. A lot of the mobile restrictions
• 39:46
  If they hit Google and apple saying like you're not allowed
• 39:49
  to list these in the Google Play Store in the App Store.
• 39:52
  One thing that's very, very funny though that's kind of
• 39:55
  missed by many bitcoiners actually.
• 39:56
  Europe shot themselves in the foot.
• 39:58
  What I mean by this is they're obviously trying to push for
• 40:01
  stricter and harsher Financial regulations but what many people
• 40:04
  didn't realize something that passed I think in 2021 or 2022.
• 40:07
  So just very recently they basically want a lawsuit, the
• 40:10
  the EU won a lawsuit against Apple, saying that apple had
• 40:14
  monopolistic practices. Is by only listing, the App
• 40:17
  Store. Obviously, when you have an
• 40:18
  iPhone, you can only use the App Store to download apps since the
• 40:22
  EU one, this lawsuit against Apple.
• 40:26
  It means that Apple has to open up to third party app stores.
• 40:29
  Meaning that in theory, even when you list a nap, like a
• 40:32
  Mobile iPhone app, and you have to go through the Apple approval
• 40:35
  process developers. Now, with this lawsuit, passing
• 40:38
  an apple losing, they have to welcome third party app store.
• 40:42
  So meaning that you guys like Opti Chris and Nico could have
• 40:45
  an app store and we could list Bitcoin apps in there.
• 40:48
  So obviously, maybe even though the EU would be like, hey, Apple
• 40:51
  were saying that you have to ban iPhone apps, but the EU already
• 40:54
  passed a law saying that Apple has to force and allow
• 40:57
  third-party stores and apps. So even though that they're
• 41:00
  like, they can put pressure on Apple to do things with apple
• 41:03
  being forced to use third party stores on their devices going
• 41:07
  forward. I think it's implemented in
• 41:08
  beginning of 2024. So right when these restrictions
• 41:11
  are coming into place, basically I hope that it would be even
• 41:13
  funnier if where there's ways to go around it by these three.
• 41:16
  Party stores. Last the, the FAFSA.
• 41:18
  The, the, the financial action task force are fucking losers.
• 41:22
  What do I mean by that? We didn't vote for them.
• 41:24
  Me, co-opting myself, did not vote for them.
• 41:26
  People in Europe, people in Africa, people in Asia, they're
• 41:28
  not voted. Voted in their appointed by
• 41:31
  like, bureaucratic bureaucratic leaders.
• 41:33
  So it's rulers. Like, it's not rules without
• 41:36
  rulers, its rulers and they dictate the rules.
• 41:38
  They have like worse, I mean, what is it?
• 41:40
  They catch one percent of money laundering and fraud charges.
• 41:43
  That means that they fail Scent of the times, if that's a
• 41:47
  fucking business, they go out of business.
• 41:49
  If that's like an employee they're fired.
• 41:51
  They are like these Gatekeepers that get to be in place and like
• 41:54
  basically have the ears of many of the world leaders at G7
• 41:57
  Nations and Nations all over the world and they can to try and
• 41:59
  enact their policies. So it's a load of fucking
• 42:02
  bullshit in the FAFSA. They're a bunch of fucking
• 42:04
  losers and Bitcoin is going to put them out of business even
• 42:07
  worse. Like, like, you know, we said
• 42:09
  that they, I said that they fail 99% of time because money
• 42:12
  laundering and like fraud a captain's.
• 42:15
  I mean you just want to hit HSBC or JP Morgan if you have enough
• 42:18
  money, they'll gladly help launder your money or fucking
• 42:22
  help you with wire fraud and shit.
• 42:23
  So it's really fucking stupid. Last and final point is you
• 42:26
  don't ban Bitcoin. You ban yourself from the
• 42:29
  benefits of Bitcoin so I feel really bad for the citizens of
• 42:33
  Pakistan obviously. I think they're peer-to-peer
• 42:35
  markets are going to explode in growth and that's a good thing
• 42:38
  for the people that are using it.
• 42:39
  But I think it's a shame for the people that are, you know
• 42:42
  worried about what could happen going up against nation states.
• 42:45
  I understand there's Risks. If you're trying to use Bitcoin
• 42:48
  when your government is telling you can't, there's obviously
• 42:50
  inherent risks and bitcoiners are trying to build tools that
• 42:53
  can prevent them from finding out who you are.
• 42:56
  And basically using those rules and laws that they change on a
• 42:59
  whim to try and hurt their citizens and keep them in the
• 43:01
  cage, that is the Fiat system back over you guys know
• 43:04
  beautiful, beautiful. And and I completely agree in
• 43:08
  terms of, you know, this is an unelected body.
• 43:11
  But, and I'm really glad that you brought up that point about
• 43:14
  the lawsuit against Apple. That might ended up biting them
• 43:17
  the ass. Now what's going to be really
• 43:19
  interesting is if they walk it back?
• 43:21
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 43:21
  Like that's the thing. Like but they were saying that
• 43:23
  apple is being a monopolistic hegemony and that they have to
• 43:26
  let you know, competition come in and can't just be the App
• 43:29
  Store. So it's very, very interesting
• 43:30
  that like, these third-party app stores are going to show up and
• 43:33
  like, oh Apple band, all these apps or they're not allowed to
• 43:36
  use Noster or whatever Damas. Like but then we have like the
• 43:39
  Bitcoin or store and we're going to list all the things that we
• 43:42
  want that to go in there. Yeah. 100% And it's, you know,
• 43:45
  and I Says all the time. Like one of my favorite features
• 43:48
  of Bitcoin is that it exposes incentives, right?
• 43:51
  So it exposes the in the true incentives of what these people
• 43:55
  are all about. Are they truly about money,
• 43:57
  laundering terrorism, and all these things.
• 43:59
  Or they really about protecting their moat, it's becoming
• 44:03
  clearer and clearer and clearer and clearer.
• 44:05
  They don't give a flying F about that stuff.
• 44:08
  What they really care about is having the control, being The
• 44:12
  Gatekeepers, being the intermediaries of who's entitled
• 44:15
  to use money. Who's not entitled to use money.
• 44:18
  Anyways, pass it on to you Opti and then we'll hit the culture.
• 44:21
  Well, first and foremost foremost, Chris go off King,
• 44:25
  let's go. Okay, my thoughts are all this
• 44:28
  regulation or over-regulation is just proves to me that the
• 44:31
  powers that be are scared. They are doing their best to
• 44:34
  control, not only Bitcoin, but their traditional system, and
• 44:39
  they can over-regulate all they want.
• 44:41
  And it's their attempt of trying to slow adoption or rather
• 44:44
  trying to stop adoption. But they can't control Bitcoin.
• 44:48
  They have lost control of their system.
• 44:50
  And you think that they can control this system that was
• 44:53
  literally designed for them. Not to control like it, they
• 44:56
  really are dinosaurs and Relics of the past and they're
• 44:59
  clamoring for a control right now.
• 45:00
  And it's becoming more and more obvious that we can't be naive
• 45:04
  in our thinking that. Oh, they just don't know what's
• 45:05
  going on. I think we can kind of lean into
• 45:08
  the fact that like they are doing their best to not expose
• 45:11
  their game and they're just trying to do it with of course,
• 45:15
  the guidance. Or the view that this is for
• 45:17
  your protection, from Financial criminals, and terrorists, and
• 45:20
  money launderers, and all this stuff.
• 45:22
  But it really does sound like projection.
• 45:24
  Like Nica pointed out, you know, hidden offshore wallet.
• 45:27
  Sounds very familiar. I think we've heard this story
• 45:29
  before and it has nothing to do with Bitcoin but you know maybe
• 45:33
  I'm being naive or more like a tinfoil hat here but I don't
• 45:39
  think this will have any effect. This is just them trying to
• 45:42
  clamor for control and maybe to the average person.
• 45:46
  Out there. This may seem like, oh, they're
• 45:47
  doing some good. But hey, Bitcoin will find a way
• 45:50
  to Route around this. And like I said, the
• 45:52
  powers-that-be can't even control their system.
• 45:54
  That is totally surveilled. And you think that they can do
• 45:57
  this to bitcoin, which is designed for them, not to
• 46:00
  control. And what do we say here all the
• 46:02
  time and Chris said it, you know, can't ban Bitcoin.
• 46:05
  You can only ban yourself from Bitcoin or the benefits of
• 46:08
  Bitcoin. So hey, I hate to see this
• 46:11
  happen but I think moving forward, we will be seeing a lot
• 46:14
  more of this happen as The governments of politicians
• 46:17
  Central planners of the world exposed their hand and tell us
• 46:21
  who they really are, they want to completely control you.
• 46:24
  Well, we have the tools to stop that from happening and it's
• 46:28
  called opting out and holding Bitcoin, taking Bitcoin in the
• 46:31
  South custody running the nodes. This is what you need to do.
• 46:33
  It's very simple, it's cut and dry.
• 46:35
  Do not get bamboozled by all the noise stick to the signal, run
• 46:41
  the network for yourself, and take Bitcoin into South custody
• 46:45
  and opt out of The madness 100% Optimas.
• 46:48
  We will win. This guy's just got to keep on
• 46:51
  the pressure. Keep on the pressure.
• 46:52
  Keep educating. Keep keep getting the message
• 46:55
  out there. It's not, it's not a Red vs.
• 46:57
  Blue, it's not left versus right.
• 46:59
  That's a description. That's the divide and conquer.
• 47:02
  It's Orange verse green. And I think over time more and
• 47:05
  more people will wake up and you'll see you'll see people of
• 47:09
  different ideologies coming together.
• 47:11
  Bitcoin is the great unifier. Fix the money, you fix the
• 47:15
  world, and we're going to win. Staying.
• 47:16
  All right everybody, let's jump in the culture.
• 47:18
  But before we jump into the culture guys, we've been taking,
• 47:21
  we've been talking a lot about this time about.
• 47:23
  How do we win the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution?
• 47:26
  Well, the first thing you got to take Bitcoin into self custody,
• 47:30
  but if you take it into self custody and you write down your
• 47:34
  24 word or 12, word seed phrase, and you write it down on paper
• 47:38

• 47:41

• 49:14
  Anyways, Opti, what are we talking about today?
• 49:17
  My friend, we're talking all things conference, and I think
• 49:21
  it's, I'm really glad that we got Chris on today because I
• 49:25
  really do think that people underestimate the importance of
• 49:28
  this conference. And we talked about it earlier
• 49:30
  in the show about breaking out of the echo chamber.
• 49:33
  And I think you guys absolutely killed it.
• 49:35
  I know this year that the conference was a little smaller
• 49:38
  than in the past but I was sitting there and I had a
• 49:41
  profound Epiphany, watching, all you all of my friends on the
• 49:45
  analyst desk and I'm like, wow, we are putting on like a
• 49:48
  professional ESPN stream for Bitcoin and we are breaking into
• 49:53
  the mainstream Consciousness. And I know you guys got a lot of
• 49:57
  a lot of flak this year Chris. But how do you think the
• 50:00
  execution of this year conference, verse those in the
• 50:03
  past and what are you happy about?
• 50:06
  What are you proud of? What you guys did today or
• 50:09
  rather this Weekend? Yeah.
• 50:10
  No, it's truly an honor and a privilege to put on this
• 50:12
  conference. We are trying to the mission of
• 50:15
  Bitcoin magazine is hyper bit quantization.
• 50:18
  So bringing Bitcoin which we see as a superior money for the
• 50:21
  world and individuals and trying to spread it to the masses.
• 50:25
  So yeah, like I'm very proud. I was running the news desk.
• 50:28
  I got the moderate on the news desk as well.
• 50:30
  So it was a lot of work and a lot.
• 50:32
  As you can tell by my voice, my voice is shot.
• 50:35
  But I had a blast being on the desk with you guys.
• 50:37
  You guys crushed it as well. But yeah, really great
• 50:42
  conference. I mean this is something that is
• 50:44
  definitely difficult to execute. People don't realize all the
• 50:47
  work that goes in behind the scenes.
• 50:50
  It was a smaller conference obvious because the bear Market
• 50:52
  but we were building the foundations.
• 50:54
  Having three presidential candidates be here like this is
• 50:57
  huge. Bitcoin 2024 is going to be in
• 51:00
  Nashville. It's going to be a month or a
• 51:02
  couple weeks before Democratic and primaries for both the, the
• 51:07
  primaries for both the Democratic and Republican
• 51:09
  parties. T.
• 51:10
  So, you know, hopefully we'll have more presidential
• 51:12
  candidates. And even more talks about
• 51:13
  Bitcoin, obviously, debating CBD.
• 51:16
  Sees, the president's are the presidential candidates are
• 51:18
  trying to push those things. Hopefully, we'll have the
• 51:20
  counter narrative or the candidates that see, Bitcoins
• 51:22
  actually a way better alternative than forcing your
• 51:25
  citizens into this slave money. That is cbc's, like I said,
• 51:30
  execution of this event, I thought was excellent.
• 51:32
  Obviously there's always room for improvement and we're trying
• 51:34
  to build it, make it better and better each and every year.
• 51:37
  And last, my final thing is I want to say thank you to the In
• 51:40
  Miami. They welcomed Us in 2021 when
• 51:43
  many other cities were turning us away.
• 51:45
  They were threatening to shut us down.
• 51:47
  They were calling us, you know, we were killing people's
• 51:50
  grandmother's. They had a bunch of choice words
• 51:53
  for things that we were doing trying to do an event of that
• 51:55
  large in 2021 and 2022. We don't need to get into the
• 52:00
  ramifications of that or what people were calling us in that
• 52:02
  regard. But yeah, like it was.
• 52:04
  Truly an honor. They welcomed us and we went
• 52:06
  there for three years, we had a competitive bidding process for
• 52:09
  What cities we wanted to go to next and we see Bitcoin is a
• 52:12
  global money and obviously have the Bitcoin Amsterdam
• 52:15
  conference. We're doing that again this
• 52:16
  year, we're really excited to do, but we're trying to bring
• 52:18
  this to many cities across the world, not just the United
• 52:21
  States, but all over the globe. So we're really excited for
• 52:24
  things that were rolling out. Look forward to all the like so,
• 52:27
  obviously Bitcoin 2024 Nashville, Bitcoin Amsterdam at
• 52:30
  the tail end of this year. And then kind of expanding from
• 52:33
  there. I'm not sure we're going to go
• 52:34
  next. Our conference teams keeping
• 52:36
  that close to the chest but really, really excited to bring
• 52:38
  this large. The masses.
• 52:40
  I hope you guys had a great time at the event and yeah, that's a
• 52:44
  pretty much all I got for now, let's go.
• 52:47
  Absolutely love it. And yeah, we kind of talked
• 52:50
  about this in the beginning of the show, but I'd like to
• 52:52
  re-emphasize because Chris you and I had this conversation in
• 52:55
  person and it's very interesting how the conversation at the
• 53:00
  Bitcoin conference, you know, rolled out.
• 53:02
  And it was very interesting to see the political nature of
• 53:05
  everything going on at the conference.
• 53:08
  And I really do think there is Is a lot to be learned by
• 53:11
  understanding that, yes, maybe we do have our own perspectives,
• 53:15
  but we are moving the Overton window here.
• 53:17
  And we are trying to do our best to get the everyday person to
• 53:22
  get into Bitcoin to understand why we Bitcoin.
• 53:25
  And hey, if it takes some of these presidential candidates,
• 53:27
  some of these people that are a little better known than all of
• 53:30
  us to get that conversation going.
• 53:33
  I think this is something that we can lean into to spread the
• 53:35
  Bitcoin message. What's your thoughts on this?
• 53:37
  Chris? Yeah definitely.
• 53:38
  I mean I think I don't need to preach to you guys.
• 53:41
  Why Bitcoin is a great thing, you guys do this every day.
• 53:44
  But if we can wake up the masses and you know, hyper Bitcoin eyes
• 53:47
  to the world, I know Cory was always mentioning.
• 53:49
  You know, the goal is orange, killing the next 10 million
• 53:52
  bitcoiners and I think that this event is a launch pad or like a
• 53:56
  platform for making that happen, you know, having RFK having
• 53:59
  Tulsi gabbard having Michael Lewis, having all these
• 54:03
  different people that affect the mainstream, mind buyer.
• 54:05
  So, the narrative obviously Miko loves Tucker.
• 54:09
  Carlson, and he is obviously the second most important person we
• 54:13
  were in communication, with his team.
• 54:15
  He couldn't make it this year because he has a lot going on,
• 54:17
  but he was at Bitcoin 2022 and he loved the event.
• 54:20
  And like, obviously, Michael sailor naive buchelli.
• 54:23
  Max Keiser helped, Orange, Peel him along the process.
• 54:26
  We would love to have him for 2024.
• 54:28
  So maybe this is my pre-emptive asked to get Tucker Carlson at
• 54:31
  the conference maybe as from more of the independent
• 54:34
  journalist route at side of things now that he's left Fox.
• 54:37
  But yeah, I mean, it's a great event in our thing.
• 54:39
  Is he pushing it to the masses that we're not trying to force
• 54:42
  people to use Bitcoin but we're just trying to show people.
• 54:45
  My proof of work that Bitcoin is a better money.
• 54:47
  It doesn't devalue over time, it actually goes up in value over
• 54:51
  time. And to, basically teach people
• 54:52
  about the system that they're trapped in when they're stuck in
• 54:55
  Fiat. Yeah, one of it 100%.
• 54:58
  So and I want to ask you this Chris like what is the like in
• 55:02
  the the? Because there's always one
• 55:05
  memorable moment. What was the highlight of the
• 55:09
  lat? Out of the way I wanted to ask
• 55:11
  the same 12, let's give it a two part.
• 55:13
  What was your personal highlight and then?
• 55:15
  What do you think? Was the conference highlight?
• 55:17
  Whoo. All right, my personal highlight
• 55:19
  was being on that news desk being able to run the new
• 55:21
  systems here was awesome. Obviously got to be on the desk
• 55:24
  with all of my friends you guys up on the desk as well.
• 55:27
  You know, being with some people that I look up to like, Preston
• 55:31
  pish, Michael sailor, Caitlin long was really cool and just
• 55:34
  everyone that I got to share the desk.
• 55:36
  Was it was truly an honor of moderating that something that
• 55:39
  stuck out. Obviously I think RFK is
• 55:40
  definitely one of the big ones and yeah, just watching all of
• 55:44
  my friends. Obviously, I work at Bitcoin
• 55:45
  magazine watching us execute this event in the midst of a
• 55:48
  bear market and we were able to, we got a lot of compliments.
• 55:51
  Obviously, we see the gripes on Twitter basically, you know,
• 55:55
  making fun of things that we did and yeah, granted there are
• 55:57
  mistakes and things we can definitely look back and you
• 56:00
  know, afterwards go through with a fine-tooth comb and kind of
• 56:02
  iterate for next year in Nashville, which were really
• 56:04
  excited for. But I think we execute an event.
• 56:07
  Pretty flawlessly and I'd love your thoughts.
• 56:09
  Thoughts Opti Nico, like, what are your thoughts on the event?
• 56:12
  In general, I thought it was great.
• 56:14
  I had a blast, like I said before, you know, I got to see
• 56:20
  what it means to be a Bitcoin content creator on the back end,
• 56:24
  and I've seen it on the front end and it really should not be
• 56:28
  underestimated how much effort it takes to put on something of
• 56:32
  this nature. I don't know if you guys
• 56:34
  noticed, but it was a highly professional conference.
• 56:37
  It, I literally was sitting here and I'm like, wow.
• 56:39
  This reminds me of like an ESPN broadcast about Bitcoin.
• 56:42
  I absolutely love it. And then, of course, my personal
• 56:44
  highlight is you guys giving me the nod, me being on the news
• 56:47
  desk and then just kind of hanging out rubbing elbows with
• 56:49
  all my friends, and it's always just a Mecca.
• 56:52
  A little trip of Refreshments of hanging with my friends being
• 56:57
  revitalized charging my battery. And, of course, hey, I'm a huge
• 57:01
  fan of Miami, but I'm excited to get to Nashville.
• 57:03
  I've never been and I hear a lot of good things from some of my
• 57:06
  friends that work over at Bitcoin mag.
• 57:08
  So I'm excited to get over there.
• 57:09
  Yeah, you're in for a treat Opti.
• 57:11
  Obviously Bitcoin magazine we are headquartered is there,
• 57:13
  there's Bitcoin Park and then we'll be at the National
• 57:15
  Convention Center for the conference.
• 57:17
  So I'm sure there's gonna be an awesome side events at our
• 57:20
  headquarters at the. Yeah.
• 57:23
  At the headquarters epic when Park so there's going to be a
• 57:25
  lot of fun stuff. And yeah I mean I tweeted this
• 57:27
  morning I hope everyone made back home safe.
• 57:29
  It was just it's a bummer that it like it happened in a Flash.
• 57:32
  Like I wish I had more hours in the day to hang out talk and
• 57:35
  meet with more awesome bitcoiners.
• 57:37
  It's definitely something that like kind of fills you with
• 57:39
  hope. Fills you with happiness and
• 57:42
  joy, being with your friends, watching your friends,
• 57:44
  absolutely crush on the news desk.
• 57:45
  I'm referring to, obviously you guys opting Miko and just kind
• 57:49
  of executing event flawlessly. Like I said, there's always room
• 57:51
  for improvement, so we're looking forward to make it even
• 57:53
  even better in 2024. And don't forget, use code
• 57:56
  simply get your tickets for Bitcoin 2024.
• 57:59
  We get a lot of flack every year when we get close to the event
• 58:01
  that the ticket prices are too high there.
• 58:03
  No cheaper than they are today. The only time they were slightly
• 58:06
  cheaper is when you're at the conference this year, you can
• 58:08
  get them for like I think 50 or 80 bucks cheaper.
• 58:11
  But 300 bucks for a GI day ticket, to hang out at the
• 58:13
  conference, and see so many awesome.
• 58:15
  Amazing speakers. I think sis deal.
• 58:17
  Maybe I'm a little biased, but and then you can use code,
• 58:19
  simply get even a small discount on that too.
• 58:21
  So, yeah, get your, get your early bird tickets.
• 58:23
  Everyone Waits the last minute, and then they complain about the
• 58:26
  prices if you buy them. Now it's super cheap.

• 58:31

• 1:00:26

• 1:00:29
  touching of the tip ceremony. And as you can tell, Nico still

  all tiny in comparison to Big, Sean Harris, which is the actual
• 1:01:52
  inflation. Shout the Big, Sean Harris, he's

  Maxie's club and it goes 40 to already and we got the classic
• 1:02:00
  classic meme template of someone in a car.
• 1:02:04
  With a friend, but this someone is yellow and it goes what a
• 1:02:08
  nice day to know that you are also a Bitcoin Maxi and the
• 1:02:11
  person in the passenger seat goes.
• 1:02:12
  Yes, I have all my Bitcoin on exchanges, and then yellow
• 1:02:15
  kicks. A person out of the car and it
• 1:02:17
  goes, what a nice day without you.
• 1:02:19
  Because you don't understand that it's not your Bitcoin if
• 1:02:21
  it's only on an exchange. Okay.
• 1:02:23
  This next one is by Jose as bam and it just goes hashtag Bitcoin
• 1:02:27
  and I really like this because this is the energy.
• 1:02:29
  I think this is what a lot of bitcoiners.

  Maybe feel internally but also Also, some of them are actually
• 1:02:37
  living this In the Flesh and we got this, you know, heroic Chad

  Bitcoin in the third and fourth epochs, a warrior of Truth,
• 1:02:51
  okay? This next meme is by RT B TC and
• 1:02:53
  it goes, please understand hashtag Bitcoin and I think this
• 1:02:57
  is a Xavier mr. X from Wolverine but I could be
• 1:03:01
  wrong and it goes me trying to make my friends and family
• 1:03:04
  understand It can before it's too late and you're just using
• 1:03:06
  all the mental power, you can to try to explain to people that
• 1:03:09
  they need to hold Bitcoin or they might get rug pulled by the
• 1:03:14
  Legacy Financial system. This next one Nico might be a
• 1:03:16
  little contentious and but I think this one's hilarious.

• 1:09:42
  that you guys throw every year. And and you know, I we I kind of
• 1:09:47
  get a background in to how difficult these things are to
• 1:09:50
  pull off based on my work. Not only at simply but also a
• 1:09:53
  swan and it's incredibly difficult and you guys make it
• 1:09:57
  look extremely easy. Anyways, Chris, thank you so
• 1:09:59
  much for joining us today on simply Bitcoin live, guys.
• 1:10:02
  That was our show if you enjoyed the show, you know what to do?
• 1:10:04
  Smash that like button. Consider subscribing, if you
• 1:10:07
  feel like, we provided you value, but the number one, Thing
• 1:10:09
  you could do to help push the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution is
• 1:10:13
  share all Bitcoin content, get it out there, don't share sheet
• 1:10:16
  going content, that's counterproductive that actually
• 1:10:18
  hurts the movement or maybe it just delays it because it just
• 1:10:21
  like sends people off the wrong track, they get wrecked and then
• 1:10:23
  they get into Bitcoin. You could just go straight to
• 1:10:25
  bitcoin by sending them Bitcoin content.
• 1:10:28
  That's how we win this thing. But there is an after party.
• 1:10:30

  stage, maybe Chris. If he has the time to hang out
• 1:10:49

• 1:10:59
