• 0:06
  It's all. Going to zero against Bitcoin.
• 0:10
  It's going up. Forever Warren.
• 0:19
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:24
  Yeah. Welcome to another episode of
• 0:25
  Simply Bitcoin Live. We're number one source for the
• 0:28
  peaceful Bitcoin revolution. Curve Breaking News culture,
• 0:30
  matic warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:32
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:34
  Today's a very special episode. It is the last episode of Simply
• 0:38
  Bitcoin Live of 2023. We are going to be taking the
• 0:42
  last week of December off. So hopefully we will finish for,
• 0:47
  we'll finish, we'll finish strong for you guys.
• 0:50
  And today's episode is a very interesting topic.
• 0:54
  Javier Miley is deregulating the Argentine economy and part of
• 1:00
  that deregulation was that essentially he made it.
• 1:07
  It's not so much that Bitcoin is legal tender, but he made it
• 1:10
  legal for people to accept non quote, UN quote legal tender
• 1:15
  currencies and that kind of creates an environment where
• 1:20
  currencies are competing and if currencies are competing, the
• 1:23
  best currency is going to win. And obviously you guys know what
• 1:28
  we think is the best currency. Obviously we think it's Bitcoin
• 1:33
  because of Bitcoin's incentives. So I think in this type of
• 1:37
  environment where you know, people aren't forced to use
• 1:40
  certain currencies via legal tender laws, where there's
• 1:43
  actual free market competition, he is a libertarian after all.
• 1:47
  What I think you're going to see is you're going to see the best
• 1:51
  currency win. I really think so.
• 1:53
  So awesome day. If you living in Argentina, they
• 1:57
  still got a giant hill to climb. You know, the they got, they've
• 2:01
  been ravaged by this inflation, they got ravaged by, you know,
• 2:05
  this big government, lots of regulations, high taxes, and
• 2:10
  people got so desperate that they voted in a libertarian
• 2:14
  candidate. A lot of people are calling him
• 2:16
  this right wing extremist, this crazy conservative.
• 2:19
  That's not true. He's libertarian, right.
• 2:22
  But of course, you know, you can't push it past the legacy
• 2:25
  media to label anything that they see as a threat to them.
• 2:29
  So we're going to talk about that during the news segment and
• 2:33
  during the numbers segment, we talk a lot about this concept of
• 2:37
  the Overton window. And once again, Natalie Burnell
• 2:40
  is doing Satoshi's work and she brought on Charles Payne to her
• 2:43
  show. Charles Payne is an anchor who's
• 2:46
  on Fox Business. I'm, I'm going to show you guys
• 2:49
  a picture you everyone knows who he is.
• 2:51
  You guys have seen him on TV many, many times.
• 2:53
  He's actually had Natalie on his show on many, many times and
• 2:58
  it's nice to see that Natalie brought him on her show and he's
• 3:04
  pretty effing based, right. So again, once you have, you
• 3:08
  know, members of the legacy media who are outside of the
• 3:11
  Bitcoin echo chamber that they're fans of Bitcoin, right.
• 3:14
  The first one was Tucker Carlson.
• 3:17
  Of course, you know, it's a big deal in terms of of getting the
• 3:21
  message out there. You know, getting more people on
• 3:24
  the side of Orange, the side of Bitcoin, the side of freedom.
• 3:28
  So we're going to talk about that.
• 3:30
  We're going to play you the clip from Natalie's podcast Coin
• 3:33
  Stories. Overall, it's going to be a
• 3:34
  great show. We're going to finish strong
• 3:37
  this year. I finally fixed my computer, so
• 3:40
  we shouldn't have any kind of weird quirps or delays.
• 3:43
  I don't recommend downloading a new operating system as soon as
• 3:47
  or a new upload to your operating system as soon as it
• 3:51
  drops, wait a little bit until they you know, update all the
• 3:55
  surrounding apps and all that. So anyways, I'm excited for
• 3:58
  today's show. Like I said, I want to bring up
• 4:00
  my legendary Co host who's always optimistic.
• 4:03
  He has a giant smile on his face and I'm talking about the
• 4:06
  Optimus fields. How you doing Opti?
• 4:08
  What's up? What's up?
• 4:09
  What's up? Merry Christmas, Happy New
• 4:11
  Year's. I'm going to wear my Santa hat
• 4:13
  for as long as I don't start profusely sweating on stream.
• 4:17
  So if it comes off, you already know the deal.
• 4:19
  But yeah, man, can I can I do just like a quick recap, Nico.
• 4:23
  I noticed the last show and no one wants to hear about it.
• 4:26
  But man, what a year it's been. So thankful for every single one
• 4:29
  of you guys that hangs out with us.
• 4:30
  It really means the world to us. And and we're just so happy and
• 4:34
  honored and humbled that we've created this whole thing and you
• 4:38
  guys like to show up with us. And you know, I'm.
• 4:40
  I'm feeling grateful and thankful and man what a year
• 4:44
  it's been. You know we're going to take a
• 4:46
  little break but 2024, we're going to come back even
• 4:49
  stronger. We're going to make sure we're
• 4:51
  dropping that hot fire for you guys but man what a what, a what
• 4:55
  an episode to end the year on. It's almost like we're we we
• 4:58
  keep predicting all this stuff Nico.
• 5:00
  It's almost like we might kind of know what we're talking about
• 5:02
  you know left side of the belt curve just stays winning 80 IQ
• 5:06
  bit corners. It's almost like we can see the
• 5:07
  future it's it's really incredible.
• 5:09
  Anyways, let's bring in our guests.
• 5:12
  Nico, you guys are going to, I think you guys are going to
• 5:15
  enjoy this one. It's very fitting.
• 5:17
  We have Gabe from Operation Bitcoin with us today and you
• 5:20
  guys know we've been covering all the crazy stuff going on in
• 5:25
  the news. I am pretty sure we're going to
• 5:27
  touch a little bit on what Gabe's thoughts are about
• 5:30
  Elizabeth Warren, you know, talking about veterans and all
• 5:34
  this stuff, all kinds of crazy stuff in the news.
• 5:36
  But anyways, how you doing this morning, Gabe?
• 5:38
  I'm doing awesome. Thanks for having me on guys.
• 5:40
  Let's go. Let's go.
• 5:42
  Hell yeah. So before we jump into it, what
• 5:44
  quick thoughts about Elizabeth Warren, we call her the monetary
• 5:48
  demon or one of the monetary demons.
• 5:50
  What are your thoughts on, you know, her talking about
• 5:53
  veterans? How does that make you feel?
• 5:55
  Yeah, well, you know, I try to keep my feelings out of
• 5:58
  situations like this, especially when someone has such a tendency
• 6:01
  to continue to step on their own Dick like Elizabeth Warren.
• 6:05
  Let's go. But when you get down to it, I
• 6:08
  mean, to me it's just a bunch of show.
• 6:10
  It's a bunch of it's, it's a big Peacock display from a failed
• 6:13
  politician who really is just trying to make it make some type
• 6:17
  of irrelevant noise before she squeaks out into even more of an
• 6:20
  obscure role of of life. But when you get down to it,
• 6:24
  they it. Yeah, I mean, I read through the
• 6:26
  letter and I did have some some primary thoughts that came to
• 6:30
  me. First and foremost, it was
• 6:31
  interesting to me that she would group together military veterans
• 6:35
  with, you know, with with terrorist activity, first of all
• 6:38
  in the 1st place. Because it takes a whole lot of
• 6:41
  balls to do something like that with a group of people who serve
• 6:44
  our nation and who she may refer to at one point as, you know, as
• 6:48
  heroes. And we need them and they're out
• 6:49
  doing these great things. But, you know, but and and it's
• 6:51
  all good as long as we're out there furthering her interests
• 6:55
  and the interests of her cohorts.
• 6:57
  But when we step out of that system and then go into the
• 7:00
  truth and the light, then all of a sudden we become a target and
• 7:03
  a threat. So to me it was, it was it was
• 7:06
  beyond preposterous. But again, at the same time I
• 7:09
  really have to wonder about the effectiveness of her demands
• 7:13
  with the with the letter that she wrote.
• 7:15
  And when you get down to it, at the end of the day, if I were
• 7:17
  the recipient of that letter, I believe my response would would
• 7:21
  be very similar to to what Mr. Musk said on the stage that day.
• 7:25
  And that would be basically go fornicate thyself.
• 7:30
  Man base, base. I could tell Gabe and I are
• 7:33
  going to get along just fine. So anyways, guys really excited
• 7:37
  for today's episode. Like I said, it is the last one
• 7:41
  of the year we're going to finish strong.
• 7:42

  And of course, shout out to our audiences on Twitter, which has
• 7:55
  been growing, growing and our audience on Rumble as well.
• 7:58
  I think we just broke 2000 subscribers on Rumble.
• 8:01
  So appreciate all you guys on Rumble on, you know all the
• 8:04
  platforms and of course all the audio platforms as well.
• 8:07
  We appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for supporting
• 8:09
  the show. All right, no more delay.
• 8:11
  Let's jump straight into the numbers, the Bitcoin numbers.
• 8:17
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 8:20
  Is your seed phrase really secure?
• 8:23
  Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
• 8:24
  Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
• 8:28
  commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
• 8:32
  paper. Don't store your generational
• 8:35
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 8:38
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 8:40
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 8:43
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 8:46
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 8:50
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 8:52
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 8:56
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 8:58
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 9:01
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 9:05
  time proof. All things that paper is not
• 9:07
  allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind.
• 9:09
  For the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp Seed.
• 9:14
  All right guys, I made it super easy for you guys.
• 9:17
  You could scan the QR code on your screen.
• 9:19
  It will take you directly to the Stamp Seed website where you can
• 9:22
  use promo code simply to get 15% off anything on the Stamp Seed
• 9:28
  website. You want to store your
• 9:30
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 9:33
  Earth, Titanium. You don't want to store it on
• 9:36
  paper. At the time of recording the
• 9:39
  Bitcoin price is 43,655 SATS per dollar. 2291 Block height
• 9:48
  822,420 blocks to having 17,580 having estimate April 19th, 2024
• 9:59
  Total Lightning network capacity 5010 Bitcoin capacity value
• 10:04
  218,000,000 U.S. dollars Realized monetary inflation rate
• 10:09
  1.75%. The total market capitalization
• 10:13
  of Bitcoin 854 billion U.S. dollars and the Bitcoin verse
• 10:19
  gold market cap. It's only at 6.224% Once Bitcoin
• 10:24
  reaches the gold market cap, that would put the price of
• 10:27
  Bitcoin at roughly $500,000 per coin.
• 10:31
  I think a little bit more actually.
• 10:33
  Anyways, we're going to talk about Charles Payne.
• 10:35
  We talk a lot about the concept of the Overton window on the
• 10:38
  show. We talk a lot about the concept
• 10:40
  of breaking the Bitcoin echo chamber and for us to really
• 10:44
  move the envelope, for us to really push Bitcoin into the
• 10:47
  mainstream consciousness, it's P It's the mainstream podcasters,
• 10:52
  it's the mainstream news anchors.
• 10:54
  Those are the people that matter because those are the people
• 10:58
  that already have audiences who are following them, who are not
• 11:02
  necessarily bitcoiners. They they're just watching their
• 11:06
  content because they enjoy their content.
• 11:07
  Remember simply, Bitcoin at the end of the day might be a top of
• 11:10
  the funnel show for sure. But at the end of the day, you
• 11:14
  know, you have to kind of be a bitcoiner for you to really
• 11:17
  understand, you know, the lingo and what we're talking about.
• 11:20
  And and you have to care because if if you don't really care,
• 11:23
  then you're going to be like, oh, these guys are, you know,
• 11:25
  just talking about this magic Internet money.
• 11:27
  Like why do, why should I care what they're saying, right.
• 11:30
  So it's really important when these types of things happen.
• 11:34
  And Nat and Peter McCormack and our friends over at Bitcoin
• 11:37
  Magazine, I've done incredible jobs really on this mission,
• 11:41
  right. They.
• 11:42
  They, they had Bitcoin, Mag had RFK Junior, They had Vivek.
• 11:46
  I know they had Tulsi Gabbard there, You know.
• 11:50
  And I know that Natalie has been doing Satoshi's work and she's
• 11:52
  gone on Mr. Payne's show multiple times on Fox Business.
• 11:57
  And for once, Natalie brought him on her show and he had some
• 12:03
  interesting things we've said to you based on his comments on Fox
• 12:07
  Business that Mister Payne is sounds really based.
• 12:12
  I I mean, let's just take out, let's just check out this clip
• 12:15
  and then we'll talk about it. Giving up.
• 12:18
  Yeah, just giving up on on, you know, what they can do with VI
• 12:22
  currency, right? Their their printing machines
• 12:23
  that, you know, and their printing press is in in their
• 12:25
  control over society, right. I mean, I just, I just can't see
• 12:28
  them giving that up. And I think what they're gonna
• 12:29
  do initially is try, you know, the sort of carrot approach.
• 12:33
  Hey, check us out. You know, we've got this central
• 12:34
  bank digital currency thing, you know.
• 12:37
  And by the way we need to put some ring post around this, you
• 12:39
  know, crypto environment, you know, see all these gamsters out
• 12:42
  there, we want to protect you, you know, So they're going to
• 12:45
  be, it's sort of going to be the story.
• 12:46
  The thing I think though is that people are going to reject it.
• 12:48
  Then I fear what I fear is that then it's time to take out, you
• 12:51
  know, first you have to carry carrot and then a stick.
• 12:53
  Then I fear that the next move will be, well, you're going to
• 12:56
  have to use it. You know, like I just again,
• 12:58
  this is one of my main concern is that I think governments and
• 13:00
  people are going to have to rise up.
• 13:02
  I mean after all they represent us not vice versa.
• 13:05
  Although they always forget it and we let and we do, we allow
• 13:07
  them to get away with things that they, you know, they should
• 13:09
  not get away with. So I I see a major confrontation
• 13:12
  somewhere down the road as as governments feel like this is
• 13:14
  slipping away from them. I mean think about the mandates,
• 13:16
  for instance, Canada's going through with a mandate that all
• 13:20
  cars have to be E VS new cars by 2035.
• 13:23
  So they're taking away choice and and by the way in the
• 13:26
  process of destroying everything, you know, I mean so
• 13:28
  many things. America is along the same glide
• 13:30
  path. So listen, I've I've always been
• 13:34
  excited about Bitcoin. I learned about it a long time
• 13:36
  ago. Obviously, I wish I had pounced
• 13:37
  on it. I I did not.
• 13:38
  I was concerned about the the structure like this, the secret
• 13:41
  formula thing. But I, I I I want to see.
• 13:45
  I want to see it prevail. And I think ultimately it will.
• 13:49
  So I mean, super, super based, like based AF, like he's
• 13:55
  essentially talking like a bitcoiner, you know?
• 13:58
  And he was just like, yeah, there's gonna be this inevitable
• 14:01
  clash. So basically the things that you
• 14:04
  know, the themes and the ideas that we've been talking about
• 14:07
  for quite a while. And yes, there is going to be an
• 14:11
  inevitable clash. I think it it is super
• 14:14
  inevitable. And I said this on Simply
• 14:16
  Sessions last night and I'm going to reiterate it, I'm going
• 14:18
  to repeat it you current US sanction policy is not
• 14:23
  compatible with Bitcoins Open monetary network.
• 14:27
  The two are not compatible. They they they in my opinion
• 14:32
  they cannot coexist and I think that there is going to be an
• 14:36
  epic clash and I think a lot of the things that are happening
• 14:42
  lately, whether that's the Elizabeth Warren bill, the DOJ
• 14:46
  press conference in regards to the Binance OPTI was there.
• 14:50
  You know, I was, I was covering it for Swan.
• 14:52
  We are live streaming it. My voice cracked and then like
• 14:54
  everyone was like focusing on the press conference itself and
• 14:57
  I was like they're going to try to ban self custody in the
• 14:59
  United States of in the United States of America.
• 15:02
  How did I know that? Because they mentioned the word
• 15:05
  terrorism like 50 times in that press conference.
• 15:08
  OK, may may be a little bit hyperbolic saying that maybe not
• 15:11
  50, but at least 20 times. You know, what does a shit coin
• 15:15
  casino have to do with terrorism?
• 15:16
  And again, if you take a look at the numbers right, and we've
• 15:21
  we've we've broken down the numbers for you guys.
• 15:23
  We've shown you guys the numbers for you guys.
• 15:25
  Less than 1% of illicit finance is done using quote UN quote
• 15:31
  Bitcoin and crypto. 99% of illicit finance is done using
• 15:37
  the traditional financial system.
• 15:40
  Why are they so hell bent? Why are they so focused on
• 15:45
  Bitcoin and crypto? Well, I think it has nothing to
• 15:48
  do with money laundering, I think has nothing to do with
• 15:52
  crime and terrorism. I think that's the boogeyman
• 15:55
  they need in order to justify the taking away of more of our
• 15:59
  freedoms. But in reality, what this is
• 16:02
  about is their control on money, their monopoly on money.
• 16:07
  And Bitcoin is a clear and present danger to that monopoly.
• 16:12
  I think it's terrifies politicians for a couple of
• 16:16
  reasons. The fact that they can't
• 16:18
  confiscate your wealth at the flick of a switch, the fact that
• 16:22
  they can't inflate your wealth away.
• 16:25
  And the byproduct of that is that it empowers citizens, it
• 16:30
  empowers the individual and it takes away power from the
• 16:34
  political class, from the bureaucratic elite class.
• 16:37
  So I I agree with Mr. Payne. We've said this theory on simply
• 16:44
  before, There is going to be a clash.
• 16:46
  Now you know Corey Clipson of Swan.
• 16:49
  He writes the piece The Race to Avoid the War, in which he makes
• 16:53
  the case that we we must win the adoption race.
• 16:56
  We must have an intransigent minority in the United States
• 17:00
  that becomes immovable, unmovable on a certain issue,
• 17:04
  right. I think it's like 5 to 10% of
• 17:06
  the population. And then Bitcoin kind of becomes
• 17:09
  like the gun lobby in a way. And I know I love, OK, I don't
• 17:11
  like guns, whatever, you should though, you should.
• 17:14
  But anyways, but it becomes like the gun lobby where try passing
• 17:18
  a gun law in the US it's like impossible, right?
• 17:22
  Because it had it like it. It just so many people own guns,
• 17:26
  so many people feel passionate about it that it's just it
• 17:29
  becomes an unmovable issue, even if they're somewhat successful,
• 17:33
  right? The states come in and they're
• 17:35
  like, no, I'm not doing that. So Bitcoin hopefully gets to
• 17:40
  that point. We do have a a a couple of
• 17:42
  Bitcoin stronghold states like the great state of Wyoming, like
• 17:47
  the great state of Texas. I hope to see more states, you
• 17:51
  know, kind of follow in that direction.
• 17:53
  But yeah, I I think that this is going to be an epic fight of
• 17:57
  epic proportions. I think that we've never seen
• 18:00
  this before because this is, this is different, this is
• 18:04
  different. You are.
• 18:05
  You are essentially fighting. You're confronting the very
• 18:10
  source of the state's power, right?
• 18:13
  That's what you're yes, what you're you're when you opt out
• 18:17
  and you choose to self custody Bitcoin, what you're basically
• 18:21
  saying is I refuse to use their system.
• 18:24
  I refuse to use your system. And here's the thing.
• 18:27
  Their system needs people to use it, right?
• 18:30
  So this is gonna be an epic battle.
• 18:33
  I think this is gonna be a peaceful, is a peaceful
• 18:35
  revolution, like we always say. I don't think this is gonna be a
• 18:37
  kinetic battle at all. I might be wrong, but what you
• 18:43
  can do to participate in this revolution is taking Bitcoin
• 18:48
  into self custody. If you do that, you're part of
• 18:50
  the revolution. Whether you're aware of it,
• 18:52
  whether you acknowledge it, you are part of it, my friend.
• 18:54
  Right? And if enough people take self
• 18:57
  custody, we will win. And there's absolutely nothing
• 19:00
  they could do about it, right? But we have to win over the
• 19:03
  hearts and minds. We have to don't get distracted
• 19:07
  by the left and right dichotomy bullshit.
• 19:11
  It's not. Left versus right.
• 19:12
  Is orange versus green the party of Bitcoin, opportunity, peace,
• 19:17
  prosperity versus the party of nihilism, slavery and Fiat,
• 19:21
  right. So if we wake up enough people
• 19:24
  will win. That's why we cover these types
• 19:26
  of events, because they are historic, right?
• 19:29
  The more people that are outside the Bitcoin echo chamber that
• 19:32
  are based, that are woken up, that are saying stuff like holy
• 19:35
  cow, this is crazy. What's happening, you know
• 19:39
  they're trying to take away our freedoms, the better it is for
• 19:42
  our cause. Anyways, I want to get Opti's
• 19:44
  take and then we'll move on. Well, let's let's get Gabe
• 19:46
  because I you guys probably already know what it, what I'm
• 19:48
  going to say and I'm going to kind of just echo what Nico
• 19:50
  said. So Gabe you jump in first and
• 19:52
  then and then I'll, I'll wrap this one up.
• 19:53
  Yeah, So, so you you mentioned the race to avoid the war, Nico
• 19:58
  and that is, I mean that that is a cornerstone of of my thought
• 20:00
  process and in the approach to all of this and the way that
• 20:03
  Operation Bitcoin came to be really because this isn't
• 20:07
  something that's going to going to just disappear that the Fiat
• 20:10
  system is going to fight tooth and nail.
• 20:13
  And again, let's hope that things don't get kinetic,
• 20:16
  because none of us want that. But the reality is we are in a
• 20:21
  race to avoid the war. And that's that's where I see so
• 20:24
  many military veterans getting involved in this, in the
• 20:27
  formation of Bitcoin veterans. I know we've got a a good number
• 20:30
  of them in the chat group over here, which is a community that
• 20:33
  is growing of individuals that are prepared to do whatever it
• 20:37
  takes for us to avoid things getting worse than they have to
• 20:41
  be. And we're talking about
• 20:42
  individuals that are highly skilled, highly motivated and
• 20:46
  are very passionate about Bitcoin and jumping in here feet
• 20:49
  first to get things done. But you're right, it does come
• 20:53
  down to a matter of power. And power is something that is
• 20:58
  never given. It is only taken and they are
• 21:02
  not going to relinquish the power that they have.
• 21:04
  The Fiat system will not relinquish the power that it has
• 21:07
  over the majority of the population, the vast majority of
• 21:11
  the population up to this point. Because bitcoiners are still a
• 21:14
  pretty small group. But we are mighty and we are
• 21:17
  growing. But yeah, at the end of the day,
• 21:20
  it's about power and nobody gives it up.
• 21:22
  They will. It will continually seek more
• 21:24
  and more and more of it and will not stop unless they are
• 21:28
  stopped. Love it.
• 21:30
  Love it, Gabe. Me, me and me, we've been saying
• 21:32
  that. We've been saying that so much.
• 21:33
  All right, yeah. So let me, let me kind of roll
• 21:37
  back a little bit. First and foremost, you know
• 21:39
  Nico and I, we've been, we've been covering all the corporate
• 21:43
  press on the show all year long. We've been speculating whether
• 21:47
  Charles has been a bitcoiner. Just just based on his words, we
• 21:51
  were like, he's for sure a bitcoiner.
• 21:53
  He's had what, like Sailor on the show?
• 21:55
  Nat Brunell on the show? Jack Mahler, Just a bunch of
• 21:58
  awesome bitcoiners on the show. And the way that he was
• 22:01
  communicating with the bitcoiners, you could just tell
• 22:03
  that he was a bitcoiner. Now, you know, he said he's been
• 22:06
  a bit coiner for a long time. Who knows if you know, he's kind
• 22:09
  of blunts the smoke up his own ass or whatever, but this is
• 22:13
  what we've been saying. What?
• 22:14
  You're saying is blowing smoke. Charles Payne, We all say the
• 22:17
  same thing. We're like, I've been in Bitcoin
• 22:18
  way longer than I have, just to look cool.
• 22:20
  So I mean, hey, I'm taking his word.
• 22:22
  No, no, no. No, but he didn't say that, he
• 22:24
  said. I was exposed to Bitcoin a long
• 22:28
  time ago, but actually he was very humble about it.
• 22:30
  He's like, I didn't take the opportunity I wish I had, OK?
• 22:35
  Well, then he's not a bitcoiner. What do you mean?
• 22:38
  No. All right, I'm not.
• 22:39
  I'm not trying to shit on Charles.
• 22:40
  Shout out to Charles. He's a goat.
• 22:43
  We need more people on our team I.
• 22:44
  Know that's what I'm saying. I know.
• 22:46
  I'm sorry. I don't mean to come across as
• 22:48
  talking shit here And and I was going to big him up because me
• 22:52
  and you have been talking about this all year long.
• 22:54
  Just how how important it is to have people like Charles become
• 22:57
  bit corners and it's kind of like while he was talking I had
• 23:01
  that the Fight Club meme. You know where it's like we run
• 23:05
  the nodes like we're everywhere don't mess with bitcoiners.
• 23:07
  And I know we're we're talking about and and even Charles was
• 23:10
  kind of talking about the fact that there may be an inevitable
• 23:14
  clash here like of course we don't want this to get kinetic
• 23:16
  we we say it all the time. You know Bitcoin is that
• 23:18
  peaceful revolution. And even though we have the
• 23:23
  politicians and the bankers kind of coming after us right now for
• 23:26
  some reason, I I just got so hopeful watching that.
• 23:28
  Because it just, it just goes to show that as Bitcoin starts to
• 23:33
  mature and starts to infiltrate or rather saturate all of
• 23:37
  popular culture, like bitcoins are everywhere.
• 23:40
  And it's going to be absolutely impossible for these politicians
• 23:43
  and these central bankers to really not only stop Bitcoin,
• 23:46
  but stop bitcoins. It's like we're everywhere and
• 23:49
  this is the theory of simply Bitcoin here as as a channel and
• 23:53
  and as a show in general. It's like we believe that
• 23:56
  Bitcoin culture will become the popular culture.
• 23:59
  And you can see slowly but surely more and more people are
• 24:02
  waking up to the things we talk about here every single day.
• 24:05
  We know what the problem is but very few people know what the
• 24:08
  solution is. And the fact that we have, you
• 24:10
  know what's a Joe Curd Charles Payne.
• 24:16
  You know, we have people in positions like I, you know, I
• 24:19
  I'd venture to say even Tucker, like we have people in key
• 24:23
  positions that are bitcoiners and it's going to be very
• 24:26
  difficult for them to outlaw Bitcoin when people that have
• 24:30
  good reputations are also bitcoiners.
• 24:32
  And like I know everyone in the chat.
• 24:34
  Well, I I always say, you know, we're a group of individuals
• 24:36
  here. And we, you know, the other meme
• 24:40
  must slay your heroes. But this is good for everyone
• 24:43
  because people, for better or worse, look at at people on
• 24:47
  television. They look at people with
• 24:48
  accolades and they're like, oh, you know, I can trust this guy.
• 24:51
  This guy has put in the work. He's a trustworthy face.
• 24:54
  And if they start talking about Bitcoin and positive light, guys
• 24:56
  like this is going to spread like a wildfire.
• 24:59
  And this is the idea of moving the Overton window.
• 25:02
  Like, of course it's not Charles's job to like go out and
• 25:05
  just like constantly talk about Bitcoin, like it's our job to
• 25:08
  do. But the fact that he is a holder
• 25:11
  and he's in this, this position where you know, of course us
• 25:13
  millennials don't really watch television but like our our
• 25:16
  parents do and and people still look at the television and like
• 25:19
  oh these are trustworthy voices. And the fact that we have
• 25:22
  Bitcoin is everywhere now. It's just I I think we might be
• 25:26
  able to avoid that inevitable war because everyone's going to
• 25:30
  be a bit corner moving forward. And I think this next year,
• 25:33
  seeing the price run up and seeing everyone talk about
• 25:35
  Bitcoin like I and and the retail FOMO that I think is
• 25:39
  coming, I think it's going to be damn near impossible for these
• 25:42
  people to come out against Bitcoin because everyone is
• 25:45
  going to be a bitcoiner. And and again, you know, Bitcoin
• 25:47
  exposes the Hypocrisies. And if they're attacking
• 25:50
  Bitcoin, wait, what do we say? You're against Bitcoin.
• 25:52
  You're against. And it's going to become even
• 25:54
  more obvious every single day that if they come out against
• 25:57
  Bitcoin, then they are not a trustworthy voice.
• 26:00
  And so I, you know, 100. Percent I I think that next,
• 26:04
  next, this next political cycle. So 2024 is going to be extremely
• 26:08
  divisive. I think that taking a a anti
• 26:13
  Bitcoin stance is going to be extremely unpopular and I think
• 26:17
  by 2026 and 2028, the next election years, I think it's
• 26:22
  going to be unviable. I think just the the, the, the
• 26:24
  percentage of the population that are going to be holding
• 26:26
  this asset and for you to be a public, you know, a politician
• 26:31
  who's supposed to be by the people.
• 26:32
  And this is the beauty of Bitcoin also is a lot of people
• 26:35
  don't understand is that it exposes incentives.
• 26:38
  So these politicians, if they wanna keep up the racket,
• 26:43
  they're gonna have to expose themselves in the process.
• 26:45
  And it really shines a light of truth.
• 26:49
  And it's like, wait a second. Are you really for my best
• 26:53
  interest or are you trying to, you know, protect your your,
• 26:58
  your money printer privilege it? Like, what's going on there
• 27:02
  like. He even said that.
• 27:02
  He even said that. Of course, dude, he's he's
• 27:05
  super, super based, right? He's had Mahlers on.
• 27:08
  I think Natalie's done great when she's gone on his show.
• 27:11
  So yeah. Anyways, keep up the pressure.
• 27:14
  We're winning. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
• 27:16
  what it's all about. I do want to give a shout out to

• 29:39
  All right everybody. So I do want to talk about
• 29:42
  Javier, Javier Malay, he won the presidency in Argentina.
• 29:48
  And you know this guy was running on a platform where he
• 29:53
  was literally taking videos him and his supporters of him taking
• 29:57
  a chainsaw to the the country's central bank.
• 30:00
  He's also been he ran on the concept of of of, you know,
• 30:05
  shrinking the size of the government, deregulating the
• 30:09
  economy, giving people liberty and freedom to choose.
• 30:13
  Because he believes that if you give people liberty, that is how
• 30:18
  you achieve prosperity. It's simply Bitcoin.
• 30:20
  We completely agree, I might add.
• 30:22
  And this was historic because this is the first time a true
• 30:25
  libertarian Austrian economist won the presidency of a major
• 30:30
  country. That's that's never been the
• 30:32
  case, right. It's usually traditionally it's
• 30:34
  it's it's a, you know, it's a liberal, a leftist versus a
• 30:39
  conservative that's usually been, you know, the pendulum
• 30:42
  kind of swings that way. So the fact that it's swang the
• 30:45
  side of Ron Paul, you know is is pretty cool.
• 30:49
  So here I'm going to play you a little bit of his speech.
• 30:51
  It is in Spanish. I'll try to translate a little
• 30:54
  bit of it. But he goes on to say today,
• 30:57
  today is a historic day for our country.
• 31:00
  After decades of failure and impoverishment decadence, today
• 31:04
  we formally begin our path of reconstruction.
• 31:08
  Since we assumed office only eight business days ago, we have
• 31:11
  focused on trying to contain the enormous crisis we inherited.
• 31:15
  For that reason, we designed a shock stabilization plans that
• 31:18
  include a fiscal adjustment program and exchange rate policy
• 31:22
  that would stay true to the exchange rate in the Valley
• 31:24
  market monetary policy that includes the healing of the
• 31:27
  central bank. Oh, I don't like that.
• 31:29
  I don't like that the healing of a central bank.
• 31:32
  He went from, you know, tearing down the central bank to healing
• 31:35
  the central bank. The central bank is the problem.
• 31:39
  But of course, I'm sure he's had to reach, you know, politics at
• 31:42
  the end of the day is compromises.
• 31:44
  I would rather him, you know, follow through what he
• 31:47
  originally set out to do and say.
• 31:50
  But anyways, look, whether this guy turns out to be the next Ron
• 31:55
  Paul of Argentina or he turns out to be a dud, The concept
• 32:00
  we've talked a lot about on this show, the concept of the Overton
• 32:03
  Window, and he has definitely moved that tremendously.
• 32:08
  Therefore, it's definitely progress for anybody on the side
• 32:12
  of freedom, anybody on the side of Austrian economics.
• 32:18
  So you know, whether he turns out to be a dud or not, it's too
• 32:21
  soon to tell. Definitely, definitely making
• 32:24
  progress. Now let's talk about something
• 32:26
  that he actually did and it's really, really positive.
• 32:30
  Here's Fernando. Fernando works at Block Stream.
• 32:33
  He's a friend of the show and he said three 380,000 regulations
• 32:37
  eliminated by Malee, Holy mother of based, right.
• 32:40
  That is a lot that is definitely shrinking the size of
• 32:43
  government. But here's the most important
• 32:45
  part, and this is what we're going to really focus on today,
• 32:47
  is Javier Mali legalizes free competition of currency in
• 32:51
  Argentina. Here is Bitcoin news.
• 32:54
  It says Mali's new law in Argentina permits the use of all
• 32:58
  foreign currencies. As Bitcoin is recognized as
• 33:01
  legal tender in El Salvador, it falls into this category and
• 33:04
  will be accepted under the new law.
• 33:07
  Quote The obligation is to give money if the debtor owes a
• 33:11
  certain amount of determinable currency, whether or not it is
• 33:14
  legal tender in this country. Here is a Coin Telegraph article
• 33:20
  that goes into a little bit more of the details.
• 33:22
  In Argentina, contracts can be settled in Bitcoin, says the
• 33:26
  Foreign minister, Deanna Modino. The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
• 33:29
  International Trade and Worship of Argentina has claimed that a
• 33:34
  decree legalizing the use of certain currencies and contracts
• 33:37
  for payments would apply to Bitcoin in December 21st.
• 33:41
  Modino said that a decree seemingly aimed at economic
• 33:44
  reform and deregulation would allow the use of BTC and other
• 33:48
  crypto currencies in the country under certain conditions.
• 33:51
  Quote basis for the Reconstruction of Argentina
• 33:54
  Economy Decree passed on December 20th Did not specify
• 33:58
  mention crypto, but included provisions that debitors had the
• 34:01
  choice to pay in currencies not recognized as legal tender in
• 34:05
  Argentina. Goes on to say.
• 34:07
  According to Modino, the decree would also allow for settling
• 34:11
  contracts using liters of milk or steer.
• 34:14
  Other provisions within the decree give individuals the
• 34:16
  freedom to choose a currency used, largely referring to
• 34:19
  foreign currencies, but did not explicit it did did not
• 34:24
  explicitly deny crypto quote. The parties have the liberty to
• 34:27
  specify the amounts and the type of currency used for the bond or
• 34:30
  security deposit, as well as the mentioned for its reimbursement.
• 34:34
  Upon the lease conclusion, it goes on to say Argentinian
• 34:38
  President Javier Mali appointed Modino as a foreign minister
• 34:41
  following his election victory against then Finance Minister
• 34:44
  Sergio Masa. Many in the space saw Mali's win
• 34:47
  as a positive sign for crypto adoption in Argentina.
• 34:51
  Now here's a couple interesting thoughts.
• 34:53
  OK. So number one, right, the idea
• 34:58
  of legal tender, even if it's pro Bitcoin and like of course I
• 35:02
  love El Salvador, I love Dain Bouquet.
• 35:05
  I think El Salvador is the shining country on a hill.
• 35:08
  I think it's setting an example for the rest of the region.
• 35:11
  You're still using the state to essentially force people to use
• 35:17
  a certain currency. I'm not a fan of legal tender
• 35:21
  laws. We're I'm seeing like the
• 35:26
  positive you know path that Argentina's taking.
• 35:32
  They even said it you can use foreign currencies or you can
• 35:35
  use steer and milk like it's basically like whatever you the
• 35:40
  free market decide to use as currency can be used as
• 35:44
  currency. Now in that type of environment,
• 35:47
  what happens when certain currencies and certain things
• 35:50
  start to compete for you? The best one is going to flow to
• 35:53
  the top. Obviously, we know the best one
• 35:56
  is Bitcoin, right? It has a cap supply.
• 35:58
  You know there's a having every four years has absolute
• 36:02
  scarcity. It's censorship resistant.
• 36:05
  If you have a free market competition between different
• 36:09
  currencies, including foreign currencies, I think bitcoin's
• 36:12
  gonna rule the day. So I think this is very good
• 36:15
  news for Bitcoin. I think this is very good news
• 36:17
  for bitcoiners in Argentina because it kind of opens up
• 36:21
  like, look, we're not making it legal tender, but you could also
• 36:24
  use it to settle debts. You could also use it to settle
• 36:27
  contracts, right. So I mean that and that's the
• 36:30
  question that I have for you guys.
• 36:31
  This is like do we really want the, the, the, this legal tender
• 36:35
  stuff? Because this legal tender stuff
• 36:36
  stuff is essentially the state saying this is what you're
• 36:39
  allowed to use as money, and this is what you're not allowed
• 36:41
  to use as money. So I mean, that's a really
• 36:44
  important discussion, you know, because a lot of bitcoiners
• 36:46
  would say, like, yeah, but if you don't have the legal tender
• 36:49
  stuff, you, the shit corners get in there and you know, then you
• 36:52
  start to have rampant shit coinery, right?
• 36:54
  This is all very important discussions.
• 36:56
  These are very, you know, important topics to cover and
• 36:59
  discuss and analyze. But I I will say this, this is
• 37:03
  definitely, you know, a a blow to the status quo.
• 37:07
  This is definitely a blow to the IMF that you know, they came in
• 37:11
  there and they thought, hey, we're going to give you a loan
• 37:13
  and part of that loan you have to de incentivize the adoption
• 37:15
  of Bitcoin. It looks like the new Argentine
• 37:17
  government said you know, F you F you and that loan and what you
• 37:21
  guys were doing, we're going to let the people choose.
• 37:24
  And in that way, Javier has has come, has has come through, He
• 37:28
  really, you know, he he advocated for liberty, he
• 37:31
  advocate him for freedom of choice.
• 37:33
  And what I'm seeing here is exactly that.
• 37:35
  So again, it's too early to tell, but this is definitely a
• 37:39
  promising move. I'm going to start with Gabe and
• 37:41
  then we'll move on to Opti. Yeah.
• 37:45
  Thank you. It's I think there's something
• 37:46
  important to to talk about when it comes to to the new president
• 37:51
  down there and that is I don't see him he's not like a a flash
• 37:55
  in the pan that just like showed up on the scene of of of
• 37:58
  Austrian economics. He's been he's been teaching
• 38:00
  Austrian economics at the university level for years and
• 38:03
  that's that's that's what he does and he understands it very
• 38:06
  well. And I believe that it's safe to
• 38:09
  conclude that one of the reasons behind what he behind this
• 38:13
  approach that he's taking is that he wants to show in real
• 38:17
  time and demonstrate the validity of Bitcoin as the only
• 38:22
  real true money that exists. By going ahead and throwing it
• 38:26
  into the ring with with every other currency or whatever we
• 38:30
  want to call it. And then letting everybody see
• 38:33
  on full display in front of the world, watching them Duke it out
• 38:37
  and watching Bitcoin come through and slay the rest of
• 38:40
  them like it's a dragon. And they're a bunch of running
• 38:42
  little ninnies with sticks. And then Bitcoin comes and then,
• 38:46
  you know, rises to the top like you said.
• 38:48
  And then 'cause I believe that that's a very effective
• 38:50
  demonstration instead of just coming in and say, OK, listen,
• 38:53
  we're Bitcoin only. And that's what we are because
• 38:56
  then there could be some question as to, OK, well, he
• 38:58
  they could people could be more critical and they could say, OK,
• 39:01
  well, he's just doing that because, you know, he likes it
• 39:03
  and he promises his supporters in the campaign and what not.
• 39:07
  But for him to open it up and to really let the market do what it
• 39:10
  does and to demonstrate the power of Bitcoin in its natural
• 39:15
  environment, just watching it do what it does to me, I think that
• 39:18
  can be a very effective, a very effective way for him to
• 39:21
  demonstrate that and then to remove doubt.
• 39:24
  So I see it as a positive, but I do want to, I do want to put it,
• 39:29
  I do want to say something that I believe is important to always
• 39:31
  consider when it comes to things like this.
• 39:34
  Politicians are politicians at the end of the day, OK, our
• 39:38
  corrupts. We all know this.
• 39:39
  So I believe that it's important for us to especially to hold
• 39:44
  individuals like this who come out with these bold plans and
• 39:46
  these, these shock, whatever he's calling this for him, for
• 39:51
  them to come in here, the shock stabilization approaches.
• 39:53
  But I believe that that, you know, Bitcoin politicians like
• 39:56
  this, they need to be held to a higher standard because they're
• 39:59
  really put themselves out there. And for them to do that, and for
• 40:02
  people to for people that are that are are accustomed to to
• 40:06
  functioning in a trustless way, for bitcoiners to put trust in a
• 40:10
  person, first of all, we can't. But second of all, it's
• 40:15
  important for them to be held to a higher standard.
• 40:17
  And I believe that he will be held to that higher standard.
• 40:19
  And I think that at the first sign of him not fulfilling the
• 40:22
  promises that he has said he was going to fulfill, people are
• 40:25
  going to just come in and tear him down and it's not going to
• 40:27
  go well for him. I would say it will go worse for
• 40:29
  him than most other politicians who break their campaign
• 40:32
  promises, but it's something that we need to watch very
• 40:34
  closely. However, I think it's a good
• 40:37
  opportunity for Bitcoin to go out there and to show what it
• 40:39
  can do and the rest of the world to see the power that it can,
• 40:42
  that it can demonstrate. 100% I I completely agree with you.
• 40:45
  Yeah. I love that it's, you know, it's
• 40:48
  it's very, very it's very interesting moment in history on
• 40:53
  a world level and what a time to be alive.
• 40:57
  And I'm just thankful that Bitcoin is here, you know.
• 41:01
  And I think that politicians that stay true to Bitcoin ethos,
• 41:07
  you know, I think. I think, I think they have a
• 41:10
  higher probability of succeeding.
• 41:12
  I think that their constituents are gonna be happy and I think
• 41:15
  that politicians that shy away from that and they follow this,
• 41:20
  they follow the totalitarian model of the 20th century, you
• 41:26
  know, I think they're they're in for for a rude awakening, so to
• 41:30
  speak. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
• 41:31
  on on this brother? Yeah, First and foremost, I kind
• 41:33
  of want to echo what Gabe said at the end as well.
• 41:36
  I I had this conversation with a friend and and it was kind of
• 41:39
  angling more towards like Trump. But I think it's very fitting.
• 41:42
  It's like guys there is no savior and and as much as we are
• 41:47
  you know very excited about seeing politicians like Malay
• 41:50
  say stuff what we've been talking about here on the show,
• 41:53
  you know let's do our best to not I don't know put all our
• 41:58
  faith and trust in politicians. Of course like Gabe said they
• 42:01
  are politicians and again there is no saviour out there that's
• 42:04
  going to save us like protect yourself.
• 42:06
  This is the whole point of Bitcoin in the 1st place is that
• 42:09
  you don't need an external person or any external event to
• 42:13
  protect yourself during this transition.
• 42:16
  And you know, as we've been saying and we've been kind of
• 42:19
  covering, there has been some inklings and some rumours that
• 42:22
  that, you know, us bitcoiners don't really like about Malay.
• 42:25
  And I think he even mentioned it in that article or that video
• 42:29
  basically about saying like there's so much, there's such an
• 42:31
  uphill battle for Argentina to succeed in what we think he's
• 42:36
  trying to do that I think, you know, he's only been in office
• 42:40
  for eight days. I I think it's one of those
• 42:41
  things we got to give him some time and and see what actually
• 42:44
  plays out before we're quick to judge.
• 42:46
  With that being said though, you know, this announcement may not
• 42:51
  be as flashy as El Salvador making Bitcoin legal tender
• 42:55
  status, but I think this is just as important, if not even more
• 43:00
  important as we're saying. You know, having currencies
• 43:03
  compete on the free market and individuals choosing what they
• 43:07
  believe is the best currency. I I I personally think this is
• 43:10
  much better. But of course it doesn't get the
• 43:12
  same headlines as like El Salvador makes Bitcoin, you
• 43:15
  know, legal tender. This is just kind of one of
• 43:17
  those I don't know maybe slept on announcements that's like hey
• 43:21
  settle your debts in whatever you want in our country all
• 43:23
  currencies are are free to be used here.
• 43:26
  And I just I absolutely love this.
• 43:28
  You can tell that you know Malay is actually an Austrian
• 43:31
  economist We're we're still yet to know what kind of back end
• 43:35
  deals maybe are being made. But as far as being an Austrian
• 43:40
  in in a position of power, you just love to see that he's like,
• 43:43
  hey, look, let currencies compete on the free market.
• 43:46
  Yes, Bitcoin is one, of those, of course, you know, as a
• 43:48
  Bitcoin show we're like, oh man, you know, they they did kind of
• 43:52
  open up crypto in there. You know, they opened that
• 43:54
  Pandora's box. But I think people choosing what
• 43:57
  the best money for themselves will be, it's all going to end
• 44:01
  up in Bitcoin. All roads lead to Bitcoin.
• 44:02
  And I think this is a very defining moment and letting
• 44:05
  Bitcoin actually compete on the free market, as all of us
• 44:08
  bitcoiners want to see. I think moving forward, this is
• 44:11
  going to be one of those moments that right now it's kind of
• 44:14
  slept on. You know, this is like a very
• 44:16
  cool announcement. But also I think in time it's
• 44:18
  going to show that Bitcoin is the currency that can compete on
• 44:21
  the free market. It will win, it is winning.
• 44:23
  And we're just, we're going to have to wait and see how this
• 44:26
  plays out. So what a way to end the year
• 44:29
  and and this kind of just goes back to the beginning of like
• 44:31
  Overton window and moving that Overton window it just goes to
• 44:34
  show and and Nico joked about this in the past of like oh I
• 44:37
  guess we have a blueprint now and America needs to go to what
• 44:40
  like 150 plus percent inflation before they wake up.
• 44:43
  Like we know the pain threshold now.
• 44:46
  So hopefully we don't have to get to that much pain for people
• 44:48
  to wake up. But at least there is a a
• 44:51
  playbook here. There is a a format here and a
• 44:54
  blueprint going on that we understand.
• 44:56
  Look, hopefully we can kind of go in between both of these
• 45:01
  aisles. You know we have El Saldo, we
• 45:02
  have Buchelli on one side with with the power of the state
• 45:06
  protecting Bitcoin and then we have the Malay free market,
• 45:09
  Austrian economist on the other side that's like, hey, let the
• 45:12
  currencies compete and let the best currency win.
• 45:15
  So maybe America can kind of find the find its way in in the
• 45:18
  middle. But hey, you know, as we've been
• 45:21
  covering lately and all all the backlash we've been seeing,
• 45:25
  maybe I'm a little naive and hopeful here, but I just, I got
• 45:28
  faith in US. I think we can figure this out.
• 45:30
  100% I completely agree with you man.
• 45:33
  What a strong, what a strong, strong finish to simply Bitcoin
• 45:39
  news and numbers for 2023. Now let's get to the culture,
• 45:44

  But yeah, guys, you definitely don't want to miss this Bitcoin
• 48:01
  celebration anyways, Opti, what are we going to talk about
• 48:04
  today, brother? Yeah, well, of course, culture
• 48:08
  is the feature our guest and we and we got an epic guest.
• 48:10
  But I want to start, Gabe, let's talk about what project you're
• 48:13
  working on, what is Operation Bitcoin?
• 48:15
  And then I do, you know, want to want to elaborate a little more
• 48:19
  on your thoughts of all this crazy stuff we're seeing in the
• 48:22
  last couple of weeks. It seems like it's starting to
• 48:24
  get heat up. But first and foremost, Gabe,
• 48:26
  what is Operation Bitcoin? Let the people know out there
• 48:28
  what you're working on. All right, awesome.
• 48:30
  Thank you. So Operation Bitcoin is a
• 48:32
  nonprofit that is on a mission to bring Bitcoin education to
• 48:37
  military veterans and also to connect them with career
• 48:41
  opportunities. And we have, we've added on an
• 48:44
  additional stage that will provide business incubation
• 48:48
  services to veteran business owners that would like to build
• 48:52
  Bitcoin businesses specifically. The then the thinking behind
• 48:56
  that was first of all you know the education part is key, it's
• 48:59
  foundational. We have we are licensed light
• 49:04
  node with me Premier Bitcoin. So what that means is we have we
• 49:08
  have full access to the Bitcoin diploma program through Me
• 49:11
  Premier Bitcoin. They're amazing people.
• 49:13
  If you're if you're not aware of their mission, you've got to
• 49:15
  check them out. But but we are what's known as a
• 49:17
  thematic note. And so a thematic note focuses
• 49:20
  on a certain theme, a certain community group of individuals
• 49:23
  and of course ours is military veterans.
• 49:26
  And so our focus primarily is on education and then providing
• 49:30
  career opportunities, connecting them with Bitcoin employers,
• 49:33
  creating internship pathways for them.
• 49:36
  And the thing about it is many of us probably know that in the
• 49:40
  Bitcoin, in the Bitcoin world right now that the number of
• 49:44
  jobs aren't really as plentiful as the number of people that are
• 49:47
  seeking jobs within Bitcoin. And so that the that the path of
• 49:51
  of thought LED us to the conclusion that well why don't
• 49:54
  we support people who want to build more Bitcoin businesses
• 49:57
  and create those jobs. So that is our goal is to
• 50:00
  provide that support to veterans who would like to create Bitcoin
• 50:04
  specific businesses within the industry.
• 50:06
  So I want to give you a little bit of a little bit of
• 50:09
  background behind our reasoning as to why we're we're why we're
• 50:12
  on this mission first of all. So there are over 16 and a half
• 50:17
  million veterans in the United States alone.
• 50:19
  That's sixteen and a half million potential bitcoiners
• 50:23
  that are out there and there are 200,000 service members that
• 50:28
  leave active duty military every single year.
• 50:31
  Now again, this is just in the United States alone.
• 50:33
  OK, so that's sixteen and a half million of us right now among
• 50:38
  among the US population with 200,000 more every single year.
• 50:43
  So these individuals are people that are accustomed to the
• 50:46
  military lifestyle, that are accustomed to serving a mission,
• 50:49
  to being a part of a purpose driven effort that is larger
• 50:53
  than themselves, accustomed of being a part of a community as
• 50:56
  well. And so my background before
• 50:59
  before jumping onto the Bitcoin mission has been in talent
• 51:02
  management, development, training programs, leadership
• 51:06
  development, things like that. And a a big part of what I have
• 51:09
  done since my time in the Army when I got out in 2012 has been
• 51:14
  to build veteran talent programs for organizations to support
• 51:18
  veterans who were in transition from the military into their
• 51:20
  civilian lives. And so to me that the the
• 51:23
  natural fit as soon as Bitcoin came into into the center of my
• 51:27
  life as it tends to do, was to get as many veterans plugged
• 51:31
  into this mission as I possibly can.
• 51:33
  Because there is a reality that we do, that we do live amongst
• 51:38
  in our society. And that is that we have a lot
• 51:40
  of military veterans that are kind of floating around without
• 51:43
  a mission, without purpose. Nico, you talked about that
• 51:46
  nihilism. Some of us may be subject to
• 51:49
  that, to that type of nihilism and that loss of identity and
• 51:52
  that loss of purpose in the civilian world.
• 51:54
  Because it's just different. It's just different.
• 51:58
  And so I have found that Bitcoin is that mission for veterans to
• 52:03
  get plugged into. When we, when we go into active
• 52:05
  duty, we all we take, we put our hands in the air and we swear an
• 52:08
  oath to to serve something larger than ourselves, to be a
• 52:12
  part of a purpose. It's something bigger,
• 52:15
  unfortunately. The reality is we go and we join
• 52:17
  a part of a machine that is doing things that are, you know,
• 52:20
  that we all eventually learn are are not in line with our own
• 52:24
  cores and our own core values and our own principles.
• 52:27
  And so by the time we get out of the military, we feel like
• 52:32
  there's a part of us that did not fulfill that mission.
• 52:34
  And the fact of the matter is many of us come out feeling not
• 52:37
  only that our that our that our mission was unfulfilled and that
• 52:40
  our oath was unfulfilled, but that we really contributed to
• 52:43
  something that did damage in the world.
• 52:45
  And so we're seeking many of us are seeking that mission to get
• 52:50
  plugged into. When I, when I became
• 52:53
  Orangefield, it was it was my father actually he's a salty old
• 52:56
  Vietnam vet back in the he was in the Navy back in the Vietnam
• 52:59
  days. And as soon as I, as soon as I
• 53:02
  saw the light and it hit me, I realized that this is something
• 53:06
  for veterans. And I started reaching out to as
• 53:09
  many people I could find. I'm pretty active on LinkedIn.
• 53:12
  I started reaching out to as many people that I could find
• 53:13
  that had Bitcoin in their profile that had served in any
• 53:17
  branch of the military, and I found very quickly that there
• 53:20
  there are a good number of veterans that are already on the
• 53:22
  mission. So I started getting plugged in
• 53:24
  with them and there there was already a group that was in
• 53:27
  place called Bitcoin Veterans and it started out, it was a
• 53:30
  Twitter group. We have since migrated to other
• 53:32
  platforms where we communicate. And I just want to say right
• 53:35
  now, if you are a veteran and you are, you're in this in this
• 53:39
  session right now. And if you're watching this,
• 53:41
  then get on Twitter, type in Bitcoin veterans, join the
• 53:44
  community. We're out there.
• 53:46
  We're growing. Actually, if I got any Bitcoin
• 53:48
  veterans in the in the group right now, let me get a let me
• 53:51
  get a fist up in the air. I see him.
• 53:52
  Thanks. Let's go.
• 53:53
  Yes, there's a few in there. That's right.
• 53:56
  Those are my people. All right, so get on there.
• 53:59
  Check it out. So Operation Bitcoin stepped in
• 54:05
  as an as we're we're hot. We're closely affiliated with
• 54:08
  Bitcoin veterans, and so again, we are a nonprofit organization.
• 54:13
  We're plugged in. We are our our big launch.
• 54:16
  We've been building in the background, getting all of the
• 54:18
  operational side of things in place, building out the business
• 54:21
  side of things, getting our nonprofit status set up, setting
• 54:24
  up our our pitch and our approaches and all that stuff,
• 54:27
  getting the word out right now. And our launch is 2024.
• 54:30
  When we will really that that's we're going to bust out on the
• 54:33
  scene 'cause you know what? I think 2024 is probably the
• 54:36
  year to do it. There seems to be a lot of
• 54:38
  momentum that is gathering around it and we are busting out
• 54:41
  onto the scene to make it happen.
• 54:43
  So that is us. That is operation Bitcoin.
• 54:46
  Check out our website. We are on Twitter, op under
• 54:49
  score Bitcoin. We are at on the Internet at
• 54:53
  operation Bitcoin. dot IO, thank you.
• 54:55
  And we're everywhere that you could.
• 54:57
  Everywhere that you can find us. We're out on LinkedIn to tell
• 54:59
  your friends. We we do have a geyser fund that
• 55:02
  is out there as well. So tell your friends, we need
• 55:06
  volunteers, we need workers. Fortunately, we've got a lot of
• 55:08
  people that are jumping in, man. I see a lot of good comments
• 55:11
  going on in here. You guys are my people and and
• 55:14
  that's it. Get on the mission.
• 55:16
  Love it. Absolutely love it.
• 55:17
  Yeah, I, you know, I'm friends with, yeah, I'm friends with
• 55:20
  Mike Hobart. And we always have these
• 55:22
  conversations all the time where like, look, I I didn't serve in
• 55:25
  the military, but I think Bitcoin is as American as apple
• 55:29
  pie is, the saying goes. And and you know I personally
• 55:32
  found that Bitcoin I wouldn't say like gave me purpose but it
• 55:35
  got me on the mission of like doing what I know we can be
• 55:39
  doing. And I and I I just see just the
• 55:41
  perfect you know combination of veterans and bitcoiners and and
• 55:45
  shouts out to like Alex and and Shane and all you guys at
• 55:48
  Bitcoin veterans absolutely EU raw energy that I think that
• 55:52
  needs to be not only spread more but I think it's so interesting
• 55:56
  how veterans just gravitate to Bitcoin.
• 55:59
  And and it's just such a beautiful thing anyways.
• 56:00
  Gay before before we go too long and I and I start ranting.
• 56:04
  I do want to get your thoughts on this comment from Elizabeth
• 56:06
  Warren and I I couldn't find the other tweet which I'm going to
• 56:10
  circle back in here but for those audio listeners I'm sure
• 56:14
  actually we covered this the other day.
• 56:15
  You know Elizabeth Warrens been doing the rounds and the she's
• 56:21
  been doing the you know the the the propaganda hit pieces on
• 56:25
  Bitcoin. And you guys saw this tweet.
• 56:27
  I I put this out the other day or rather I put it on the show
• 56:30
  the other day. So here's Elizabeth Warren's
• 56:32
  tweet. She goes crypto companies are
• 56:34
  spending millions building an army of former defense and law
• 56:37
  enforcement officials to lobby against new rules.
• 56:39
  Shutting down, She's talking about you.
• 56:42
  This revolving door boost the crypto industry, you.
• 56:46
  Bro. But in dangers our national
• 56:48
  security and the other tweet I wanted and the fine was I I
• 56:50
  forget who it was. Some guy named Matt.
• 56:52
  He's basically saying that if you're in crypto then you're a
• 56:55
  traitor to America. Anyways, Gabe, as a as a
• 56:59
  veteran, what would be your response to people that have
• 57:03
  this negative bet towards Bitcoin and and veterans in
• 57:06
  general? Yeah.
• 57:07
  Well, I think first of all, I would be remiss if I did not
• 57:10
  thank Elizabeth Warren for for bringing more veterans onto the
• 57:15
  Bitcoin mission. Because if if you really want
• 57:18
  to, if you really want some, if you really want veterans to do
• 57:20
  something, tell them they shouldn't do it.
• 57:23
  And then we're going to know that that it's definitely
• 57:25
  something that we want to get, that we want to be a part of.
• 57:27
  So thank you, Elizabeth. I owe you a Christmas card.
• 57:30
  You're the greatest. She might actually be one of the
• 57:33
  best things for the Bitcoin mission that's ever hit it since
• 57:36
  Satoshi. So we're going to see how that
• 57:38
  plays out. But the reality is this, this is
• 57:43
  the most important mission in the world right now and we are
• 57:47
  in a race to avoid the war and that that's just a reality and
• 57:51
  we can say kinetic or non kinetic but what whatever the
• 57:53
  whatever it ends up looking like there is there is going to be
• 57:56
  some some difficulty that it that lies ahead of us.
• 57:59
  We're going to have some hard time.
• 57:59
  It's going to happen. We need people that have
• 58:01
  leadership skills. We need people that are
• 58:03
  resilient. We need people that are are able
• 58:06
  to bounce back and they keep going when the punches start
• 58:08
  flying. Because we talked about the
• 58:11
  ignore you phase and the laugh at you phase and the fight you
• 58:15
  phase. Well, we're in the phase where
• 58:17
  where they fight you. OK?
• 58:18
  And I and I've I've been monitoring and I I see, we all
• 58:21
  see what happens on Twitter. And it's it's really fun and
• 58:23
  it's exciting to be bold and to even talk a little bit of smack
• 58:27
  when they're ignoring you and when they're laughing at you.
• 58:30
  But then when they start, when you know when hot lead starts
• 58:32
  flying around and they start punching you, you know, some
• 58:34
  people are like, oh, you know it was kind of funny at first but
• 58:37
  now this is, this is serious and it's real.
• 58:38
  You know, I I'm moving to another country.
• 58:40
  I'm out of here because you know the fight is happening that
• 58:43
  that's not that's not how it works.
• 58:45
  OK. That's when it's the most
• 58:47
  important, that's when it's the most important to have people
• 58:49
  around that can keep their wits around them.
• 58:52
  People that have been in situations that are challenging,
• 58:55
  that know how to overcome and they know how to push through
• 58:58
  even when it sucks. And you're not going to find a
• 59:01
  better group of people to do that than a whole bunch of
• 59:03
  military veterans that are first already pissed off at the
• 59:06
  government and second of all have seen the truth in the light
• 59:08
  that brings Bitcoin and are armed with this non violent
• 59:12
  approach to the peaceful revolution.
• 59:15
  I love it. Love it, man.
• 59:17
  Well, dude, Gabe, it's an honor to have people like yourself,
• 59:21
  People like, you know, a good friend of mine, Alex Stanzig,
• 59:25
  you know, and of course a good friend of the show, Mike Hobart.
• 59:29
  You know, on our side are really, really grateful that
• 59:31
  you're on, you know our side of the football and that that
• 59:35
  amazing veteran community in the United States.
• 59:38
  And that that that you know, that that brother ship that you
• 59:42
  guys built in, you know, in battle, in conflict and and
• 59:46
  serving, you know, the armed forces.
• 59:49
  You know, you can't, you can't just create that out of nothing.
• 59:52
  You have to go through, you know, these ordeals, you have to
• 59:55
  overcome these ordeals together and you know and friendships are
• 59:58
  forged in that. So you know, that community is
• 1:00:02
  is extremely strong. And I'm just so bullish that you
• 1:00:06
  guys are bullish on Bitcoin 'cause that's a, you know,
• 1:00:09
  that's a, that's a group of hombres that you know, have your
• 1:00:13
  back, you know, when the going gets rough, right?
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, it's it's like Alex says, this is not a group of people
• 1:00:20
  that you want out in the woods plotting against you.
• 1:00:24
  I mean, it couldn't, couldn't say better than Mr. Stanczyk.
• 1:00:27
  Wait. Wait, one.
• 1:00:28
  One more thing. All right.
• 1:00:29
  God, Niko. Sorry.
• 1:00:30
  Sorry. Yeah.
• 1:00:30
  I've been reading Chuck Norris. Alex Stanczyk jokes as much as I
• 1:00:34
  can. Every every Bitcoin veterans
• 1:00:37
  show, I guess just drop them like Alex Stanczyk doesn't get
• 1:00:41
  sunburnt. The sunburnt, the sun gets
• 1:00:44
  sunburnt when, I don't know, I fucked it up.
• 1:00:47
  But you guys get the point anyways, Opti.
• 1:00:49
  Yeah, yeah. Just I just kind of wanted Gabe,
• 1:00:53
  if by chance we have just a pre corner that is a veteran that
• 1:00:59
  just is interested in Bitcoin and they happen to watch this,
• 1:01:03
  they're getting super excited but they're still a little
• 1:01:06
  unsure about Bitcoin. What would be your elevator
• 1:01:09
  pitch, your one minute pitch to them and and how do you get
• 1:01:13
  them, you know, mentally involved in the mission that
• 1:01:16
  we're, that we're trying to build over here at Bitcoin?
• 1:01:18
  Yeah, ultimately Bitcoin. Yes, it's money.
• 1:01:22
  But it's more than money. It's freedom.
• 1:01:26
  Every, every human should have the the right to to freely
• 1:01:30
  transact. And nobody understands the
• 1:01:34
  importance of freedom more than someone who has been in a place
• 1:01:37
  where it where it doesn't exist or in a place that is torn by
• 1:01:40
  war, where, which is the type of place many veterans have been.
• 1:01:44
  Bitcoin is the way that we avoid that from happening.
• 1:01:47
  Bitcoin is the only road to the freedom that veterans have
• 1:01:52
  fought for. It's there's no other way.
• 1:01:54
  It's through Bitcoin. It's not about money.
• 1:01:57
  It's about freedom. And this is the way in.
• 1:02:01
  Beyond that, I mean just get plugged into the community.
• 1:02:04
  We're coming to this mission for a reason.
• 1:02:06
  We're here for a purpose, OK? And and it's it's too big to
• 1:02:09
  ignore. And there is a tidal wave, tidal
• 1:02:12
  wave of veterans that are moving towards Bitcoin right now.
• 1:02:15
  Get plugged into the community. The best way to do that is hop
• 1:02:18
  on Twitter, go to Bitcoin veterans, go to Operation
• 1:02:20
  Bitcoin. If you hop on the website,
• 1:02:22
  there's a form on there where they can enter in their
• 1:02:24
  information. It's not, we're not asking for
• 1:02:26
  anything private, just some basic contact information to get
• 1:02:29
  them plugged in because it's the community that has so much power
• 1:02:33
  to it and we know that our our friend Gary, he calls it layer
• 1:02:36
  zero, OK, the people are layer zero and that is the most
• 1:02:40
  important. Yes, obviously Bitcoin, it is
• 1:02:43
  what it is and it and it is, it is perfect.
• 1:02:46
  But it's the people. We've got to have layer zero in
• 1:02:49
  place and you're not going to find a better community than the
• 1:02:52
  one that you'll find here. Amen.
• 1:02:54
  Amen. All right, I do want to read
• 1:02:57
  some Alex Stanczak jokes before we close this off.
• 1:03:00
  Alex Stanczak doesn't do push ups.
• 1:03:02
  He pushes the earth down. When Alex Stanczak enters a
• 1:03:06
  room, he doesn't turn the lights on.
• 1:03:09
  He turns the dark off. Alex Stanczak can divide by
• 1:03:13
  zero. Time waits for no one except for
• 1:03:17
  Alex Stanczak. Alex Stanczak can slam a
• 1:03:19
  revolving door. Alex Stanczak counted to
• 1:03:22
  Infinity not once but twice. Alex Stanczak can unscramble an
• 1:03:28
  egg. Alex Stanczak can speak in
• 1:03:31
  Braille. Alex Stanczak can hear sign
• 1:03:34
  language. How many of?
• 1:03:35
  These do you have? And last but last but not least,
• 1:03:38
  the Boogeyman checks his closet for Alex Stanczak before going
• 1:03:42
  to bed. Oh man, oh.
• 1:03:44
  Man, that was a lot of fun, guys.
• 1:03:46
  Thank you so much for tuning in. No, stop, stop.
• 1:03:50
  We need to do the memes or else the the they're gonna they're
• 1:03:53
  gonna nuke us, bro. We're doing memes.
• 1:03:55
  We're ending the show. They're ending the year with
• 1:03:57
  memes. OK, We have to.
• 1:03:59
  We have to. Let's do it.
• 1:04:00
  All right. Let's let's review some memes.
• 1:04:02
  Here we go. The Daily Meme Review.
• 1:04:12
  Oh, OK. OK.
• 1:04:14
  All right, guys. All right, guys.
• 1:04:16
  Wait, Do do I? We do some applause.
• 1:04:19
  We reduce some applause here. We're going to, we're going to,
• 1:04:23
  we're going to have to update the Daily Meme Review to like,
• 1:04:25
  the Weekly Meme Review or something.
• 1:04:27
  You got, yeah, the writing in the chat.
• 1:04:29
  You guys already know the deal. This is the meme review where
• 1:04:33
  you tag me in memes on Twitter at simply Bitcoin TV or you drop
• 1:04:37
  them in our Telegram group T dot me slash simply Bitcoin TV.
• 1:04:40
  Join our Telegram group there. It's an awesome group of people
• 1:04:42
  in there. Great conversation.
• 1:04:44
  It's free. You can hang out with other
• 1:04:48
  crazy bitcoiners on the mission. This is the way.
• 1:04:51
  As you guys know, the meme tweets are the bullets.
• 1:04:53
  Memes are the artillery continue to ridicule the corporate press
• 1:04:57
  continue to ridicule anyone against Bitcoin, because you
• 1:05:00
  already know you're. Against Bitcoin, you're against
• 1:05:02
  freedom. Course, get the cause of action.
• 1:05:04
  Get the cause of action about Bitcoin so your friends and
• 1:05:07
  family understand why we do what we do.
• 1:05:09
  And then last but not least, make some funny so that other
• 1:05:13
  bitcoiners remember why we do what we do.
• 1:05:16
  It really is a morale thing sometimes.
• 1:05:18
  And and as Gabe's been talking about, you know, we are in the
• 1:05:21
  trenches and I really do believe that bitcoiners are leaders and
• 1:05:25
  you guys are leaders in your local communities as well as
• 1:05:28
  leading the world to a more prosperous future.
• 1:05:30
  So this is the way, guys. This is why we do the meme
• 1:05:33
  review. Of course, this is the last one
• 1:05:35
  of the year and I I I'd forget that You guys love it.
• 1:05:42
  And you guys would would riot. You guys would riot on us if I
• 1:05:45
  didn't do one more one last meme review.
• 1:05:49
  For. 2023 All right, first one is this one was posted by Swan
• 1:05:53
  And it goes, they're the same picture.
• 1:05:55
  And this is the classic Office video meme and we got, you know,
• 1:06:00
  Elizabeth Warren on one side and we have Jamie Dimon on the other
• 1:06:03
  side. And it goes, corporate needs you
• 1:06:05
  to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
• 1:06:08
  And then of course they're the same picture.
• 1:06:11
  We have thoroughly exposed Elizabeth Warren and her anti
• 1:06:15
  Bitcoin bill being backed by the bankers.
• 1:06:17
  We know that the video of Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Dimon
• 1:06:21
  was was all you know, bread and circuses And of course they want
• 1:06:23
  to stop Bitcoin because they understand what we understand.
• 1:06:27
  It eliminates their MO and they are terrified and they're scared
• 1:06:31
  and you know they're having closed door meetings about how
• 1:06:33
  to stop Bitcoin. Sorry you can't stop Bitcoin.
• 1:06:36
  OK, next one is by Bitcoin Scoresby and we have a quote
• 1:06:40
  tweeting Pierre Rochard and he goes your brain is an unhosted
• 1:06:42
  wallet according to Elizabeth Warren and she wants to ban it.
• 1:06:45
  And here we got Scoresby and he goes see green area in diagram
• 1:06:48
  below and you can see the mind of a bit corner.
• 1:06:51
  You know just like a normal mind what we got self perfecting.
• 1:06:55
  We have her. I I can't read all those I'm
• 1:07:00
  colorblind but you can see the green area right here and it's
• 1:07:02
  unhosted wallet. She literally wants to
• 1:07:04
  lobotomize you and ban your brain from remembering 12 to 24.
• 1:07:09
  Words. She wants to ban your brain.
• 1:07:11
  It's incredible that this is where we are right now, that
• 1:07:15
  that Elizabeth Warren is actively fighting the 1st
• 1:07:17
  Amendment. It's literally crazy.
• 1:07:18
  This is crazy. OK.
• 1:07:21
  Next one, I'm going hard on Elizabeth Warren right now.
• 1:07:23
  All right. So next one is Allen Farrington
• 1:07:26
  and he's quote, tweeting Dennis Porter.
• 1:07:27
  And Dennis Porter has a tweet goes breaking Co sponsor of
• 1:07:30
  Elizabeth Elizabeth Warren Bitcoin ban.
• 1:07:32
  Bill admits the bankers helped Warren write the bill And we got
• 1:07:36
  the Scooby-doo meme here. And you can see that the mask,
• 1:07:40
  they're unmasking the villain here.
• 1:07:43
  And the villain with the mask is Elizabeth Warren and she
• 1:07:46
  unmasked it. And of course, who is it?
• 1:07:49
  It's Jamie Dimon. And they would have got away
• 1:07:51
  with it if it wasn't for you destiny kids for the Bitcoin or
• 1:07:56
  not. The next one by Walker America
• 1:07:59
  he goes, Bitcoin has the most interesting Man in the world.
• 1:08:02
  Fiat has the most totalitarian senator in the world.
• 1:08:05
  And we have the interest most interesting man in the world
• 1:08:07
  with Elizabeth Warren's head on it.
• 1:08:08
  And it goes, I don't usually agree with the CEOs of
• 1:08:11
  multibillion dollar banks. But when I do I prefer stripping
• 1:08:13
  away basic freedoms from American citizens and then
• 1:08:17
  doubling down another one. Accelerate.
• 1:08:19
  See. Accelerate.
• 1:08:20
  OK. And the last one isn't a
• 1:08:23
  Elizabeth Warren meme but I I thought this one was hilarious.
• 1:08:26
  Shouts out the Greg Zoj I, I I I saw your message.
• 1:08:29
  I haven't responded. I will be joining Meme Factory
• 1:08:31
  pod soon. That doesn't exist.
• 1:08:33
  Anyways Greg Zoj goes bit corners trying to pay the bills
• 1:08:36
  and you can see a guy here and it goes.
• 1:08:38
  Man with autism starts his own business after no one else would
• 1:08:41
  hire him And we got that and I was fine.
• 1:08:44
  I'll do it myself. I I feel like this is all this
• 1:08:47
  bit corners. You know where where we're the
• 1:08:49
  unhireable, the undesirables and yet we're going to change the
• 1:08:52
  world. It's absolutely beautiful.
• 1:08:54
  You know, I I really like the Bob Marley quote.
• 1:08:57
  It's a song and it's the forgotten stone becomes the
• 1:09:01
  cornerstone. And I really, it really feels
• 1:09:04
  like this is the way with Bitcoin and really, you know,
• 1:09:07
  very fitting with Gabe coming on considering how he's seen so
• 1:09:11
  many veterans become the forgotten stone.
• 1:09:14
  And now is the time. You can get on the mission and
• 1:09:16
  you can be the cornerstone and change the world and and uphold
• 1:09:19
  the oaths that we all believe here in America and beyond.
• 1:09:23
  Bitcoin is a global phenomenon. It is taking over.
• 1:09:26
  It is winning. We are bringing freedom to the
• 1:09:28
  world. Freedom, honey.
• 1:09:31
  OK, All right, drop your meme review score in the chat.
• 1:09:35
  This is the last meme review of the year, guys, so I hope to see
• 1:09:38
  your comments. We're gonna review them live
• 1:09:41
  right now. I'm going to give it.
• 1:09:43
  I'm gonna give it the the Santa hat that I took off 'cause it's
• 1:09:46
