Latest / Simply Bitcoin / UPDATE: Bitcoin Lightning Network Adoption | EP 485
Transcript
- 0:04Welcome back everyone. We're simply Bitcoin.
- 0:06We break down the news. The daily fail mean review.
- 0:09Software releases Hardware, releases, and the pleb sites.
- 0:13Joining us today fellow Bitcoin or fellow pleb.
- 0:17We know him from Bitcoin kindergarten, but he's since
- 0:21left us and become a superstar. That's right.
- 0:23I'm talking about Jess Taffer. He is the co-founder of am boss
- 0:28dot space gesture. For what's up, you guys.
- 0:32Great to see you guys again. Awesome, man.
- 0:35Thank you so much for joining us.
- 0:37We are diving into the numbers Nico.
- 0:39Let's do it number time. Number time is brought to you
- 0:42by. Not all they make some of the
- 0:44best Bitcoin notes like the novel Dojo, it's in red.
- 0:47That means it's faster. Run your own version of Bitcoin
- 0:49core and the lightning Network, all in the comfort of your own
- 0:52home. Remember guys, if you don't run
- 0:53your own Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's.
- 0:56That's a big no snow no for privacy.
- 0:58So get yourself a novel today. Time of this recording.
- 1:00The block height is 730. 5665 the Bitcoin price 30 1010 chain
- 1:06rewrite day 727, total, public lightning capacity, 3760 5.11,
- 1:14BTC, Moscow time, 3223. Oh my gosh, that is a cool set
- 1:20of numbers. Anyways, blocks to The Happening
- 1:23104,000 335 and the samurai whirlpool Spent capacity Samurai
- 1:31Whirlpool is a coin joint or collaborative spend.
- 1:33That is not a mixing service and the unspent capacity of that
- 1:37pool is 4624 dot 68 Nico there is blood in the streets and
- 1:45these are the numbers metaphorical blood in the
- 1:47streets and these are the numbers metaphorical blood in
- 1:50the streets and we got a lot of messages.
- 1:53A lot of people freaking out a lot of pressure and people are
- 1:57asking why is the price going down?
- 2:00You guys know the drill we don't we don't speculate on this
- 2:02channel. We're not going to tell you.
- 2:03But what I will tell you right is that the fundamentals of
- 2:07Bitcoin have never been stronger?
- 2:09Let me make my case and then we'll all talk about this,
- 2:12right? Yeah, I need some help yumiko.
- 2:14I mean this isn't really hooked me up like this is really do
- 2:17anything that anything that anything that shows us why?
- 2:20Why this is good. Okay, there's nothing wrong with
- 2:22her. Oh okay, alright so this is um
- 2:24is good. This is this is fact-based
- 2:26opium. This isn't any chain analysis
- 2:28based opium. Okay.
- 2:29Hey, this isn't some ta based opium.
- 2:32This is actual hope you and that you can confirm on your own.
- 2:35This is just information data. So this is Bitcoin.
- 2:38Archive plebs are stacking hard, right?
- 2:41This is the amount of distinct entities, right?
- 2:45That have you know different Bitcoin at how much Bitcoin is
- 2:48not address. So the amount of Bitcoin
- 2:50addresses is basically going parabolic, right?
- 2:53The plebs are stacking hard addresses with .001.
- 2:56They've never been higher and it continues to go higher and
- 2:59higher. Right.
- 3:00So that's a really, really good sign.
- 3:01I think that's an indication of the growth of the network.
- 3:04Let's take a look at the amount of Bitcoin notes.
- 3:08Again, in my opinion, I don't think that the price is
- 3:11important and fundamentals. What I look at is the hash rate,
- 3:14the hash rate represents the amount of computational power
- 3:17that's actively mining Bitcoin. Therefore it's theoretically
- 3:20harder to attack computationally and the more Bitcoin nodes the
- 3:24more decentralized it is right and again this is also at an
- 3:28all-time high, right? Let me move on to the next one.
- 3:31This is the Bitcoin hash rate. What I talked about earlier here
- 3:34is the, the famous China banned right at the peak of the China
- 3:38band, that was an all-time high. We were at 191 x, a hashes that
- 3:43caused the crash in the hash rate, which in my opinion also
- 3:46brought down the price. We crash down to 69, exit
- 3:49hatches. And today we are at 220 EXA
- 3:53hashes, estimated, there's no way to know the actual hash
- 3:56rate. It's just an estimation,
- 3:58everyone estimates a different But according to this website,
- 4:01it's a 217 exit. Hatch has to be specific and
- 4:04here is the log scale, right? And this website is awesome
- 4:07because it puts a little, you know, a little rainbow color to
- 4:10it and it's really funny how they put the stuff right and
- 4:14different colors, right? At 34k, you should accumulate
- 4:17the thing below that is that 26k you should buy.
- 4:21And at 20K is basically a fire cell also known as sell your
- 4:26kidney, right? So very good again if you You
- 4:29actually look at the fundamentals, the fundamentals
- 4:32of Bitcoin have never been stronger.
- 4:34I don't know where the bottom is, Phil and I were talking
- 4:36about this off camera because we're bitcoiners and that's we
- 4:39do. But again, if you, if you pay
- 4:42attention to the signal, Bitcoin is a lot stronger today than it
- 4:46was a year ago. Remember, in the last year
- 4:48really last year year-and-a-half Bitcoin became legal tender and
- 4:52two countries. Central African Republic El
- 4:54Salvador. Also in my opinion, became
- 4:56better than legal tender and the country of Panama, right?
- 4:59Also you have come public companies, openly saying that
- 5:03it's a better alternative to cash, like Tesla like
- 5:06microstrategy, right? So again if you look at the
- 5:10actual signal and my opinion the fundamentals of Bitcoin I've
- 5:14never been stronger but like Phil was saying before the show
- 5:18sometimes the price does. Don't reflect the fundamentals,
- 5:21especially if you kind of get into this Mania phase and people
- 5:24are kind of freaking out because the FED is raising rates.
- 5:27Everyone's scared man, and I think that the The recent price
- 5:30action right now. I think indicates that Phil.
- 5:32What are your thoughts when fire sale?
- 5:35This is this is what I want to know.
- 5:37I'm, I'm looking for the fire sale.
- 5:38See that that's terrible, right? That that some of us think like
- 5:41that but certain bitcoiners will appreciate that that line of
- 5:44thought because guess what, we always want to stack and why not
- 5:48get Bitcoin a little bit cheaper now to continue on what you were
- 5:52saying about some of the conversation that we were having
- 5:54before the show? This is exactly right.
- 5:57Right now, we're getting a lot of Getting signaling from the
- 6:00FED that they're going to raise interest rates.
- 6:03We're seeing that, you know, essentially all of the money
- 6:06printing from from the virus which shall not be named for the
- 6:10two years that we never had. All of these elements are coming
- 6:14to fruition right now and people are starting to get really
- 6:18worried, you're hearing some news that.
- 6:20Yeah, there's a lot of employment out there, but then
- 6:22if you speak to specific people, it turns out that it's a whole
- 6:24bunch of jobs that people don't really want.
- 6:27So that's not really, you know what I mean?
- 6:29The It will tout. Oh yeah.
- 6:30You know, the Employments, you know that there's lots of jobs
- 6:33out there but at the end of the day this is a lot of work that
- 6:35people don't want to do. Now what does this all have to
- 6:37do with Bitcoin? Actually it has absolutely
- 6:40nothing to do with Bitcoin, okay?
- 6:42Because Bitcoin network is going to do whatever the Bitcoin
- 6:44network does. But we are all humans, we're all
- 6:47emotional and not everybody is going to think the same way.
- 6:52So when you start to see the markets turning red, I mean,
- 6:55look, if you look at the Dow Jones, you can see that we've
- 6:56had quite a few down days and, you know, once people start to
- 6:59That they start to think recession.
- 7:01Once you start to think recession you start to think I
- 7:03need to hold my capital and then people right away immediately
- 7:08what they do is they quote unquote.
- 7:10So start selling their assets and they start getting afraid.
- 7:13But guess what people that are selling Bitcoin to hold cash,
- 7:17the government's printing it. So yeah, it's like we're losing
- 7:21on like to me. I'd rather just move Bitcoin.
- 7:23Anyways, that's my logic behind it.
- 7:25So even though it sucks, even though it's super painful, you
- 7:27know what bear markets is where, All the building gets done,
- 7:31right as just a fur was saying before the show, this is where
- 7:34the building gets done. And this is where the, you know,
- 7:37the hardened skin, right? The hardened layers of skin are
- 7:40made and the hod lers are born. Absolutely.
- 7:42This is where this is where it's the best.
- 7:45It's the, it's the scariest time to stack, right?
- 7:49But it's also the best opportunity.
- 7:51It presents the best opportunity especially when there's blood on
- 7:53the streets when people are fearful right.
- 7:56Feel we've been doing this for six years now, roughly six
- 7:59years. This is, if you look back every
- 8:02single time you get this type of energy, this type of fear is it
- 8:07was the best opportunities every single time.
- 8:09The taught the last time. I remember it.
- 8:12I don't think it's I don't think it's this bad yet, was when
- 8:15Bitcoin fell from 6000 had a flash crash to 3000 3500 3400.
- 8:22People were calling for 1K Bitcoin.
- 8:24Right? Of course that's not what
- 8:25Bitcoin did Bitcoin just zoomed up, right?
- 8:28So anyways, let's See what happens.
- 8:30Gesture for, what are your thoughts?
- 8:33Woman thinking back to 2018, when we had that flash crash
- 8:37that you were talking about like that was the scariest time.
- 8:40But that was also the time that I had like actually put in the
- 8:43work to understand Bitcoin and what it is that I was holding
- 8:47and figure out. OK twice L do I sell and then
- 8:51everything that I found out was telling me no like no don't sell
- 8:55because this is the most stable thing out there.
- 8:58The protocol is is strong and the price.
- 9:02Really He doesn't matter for any of the effects of Bitcoin, so
- 9:08it's a bear market, so keep building.
- 9:10And then when it's time for bull market will be ready to scale
- 9:14and scale rapidly. Amen.
- 9:16I could not have said it better myself.
- 9:19Patil stack hard. If your class of twenty of
- 9:22twenty Twenty-One of 2020, right?
- 9:25Like sailor Sailors, new to this, right?
- 9:28Yeah that you're earning your stripes right?
- 9:30Everyone pays a price. Ice specifically in the first
- 9:33cycle but anyways, Phil it's time for the daily fail brought
- 9:38to you by Swan.com, check them out Swan Bitcoin, it is the best
- 9:44place to Stacks at DCA. You could d.c. a daily weekly
- 9:50monthly. It's a stacking app by fellow
- 9:53plebs and they're gonna have a nap soon which makes stacking
- 9:57even easier. Anyways, the link is down below.
- 10:00We've got to fails the first 21 is some some eat garbage that I
- 10:05picked up today and the next one has to do with.
- 10:11I think a person that probably doesn't want to be a cheerleader
- 10:14for Bitcoin but just, you know, by virtue of not being able to
- 10:18shut up about it in a bad way has exposed so many people to
- 10:22bitcoin. I'm talking about, no real,
- 10:23that's right. We're going to dive into what
- 10:26he's been up to, right? He's been quiet.
- 10:27It seems anyways. Alright, let's take a look at
- 10:29this. Here's why the first story a
- 10:31theory? IAM.
- 10:32Here's why a theorem to staking is risky and increases
- 10:36centralization. Since 2009 Bitcoin, validators
- 10:39have relied on simple proof of work to verify that a minor
- 10:41deserves the coinbase reward payable, every 10 minutes to The
- 10:45Miner who properly, hash is a block of valid transactions, the
- 10:47coinbase is an enviable 6.25 BTC.
- 10:51These rewards are associated transaction fees, paid over,
- 10:55fifteen billion dollars to bitcoin miners over the past 12
- 10:59months, talk about incentives to mine Bitcoin, right?
- 11:02The largest security budget of any Block Chain in the world,
- 11:07that is some good signal right there because yes, indeed, the
- 11:11Bitcoin. Blockchain is the most secure.
- 11:13That's why we're storing our value in it.
- 11:15That's one of the reasons, besides the censorship,
- 11:17resistant properties. Anyways, let's continue.
- 11:19This is also part of the signal, any common laptop, PC or micro
- 11:24computer can run a full Bitcoin node and validate all
- 11:27transactions using proof-of-work.
- 11:29The cheap cost of operating a Fully validating node has
- 11:34decentralized. Hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin
- 11:36nodes across the globe over 15,000 of which are online at
- 11:40any moment. Okay, I personally I can verify
- 11:42that number but I'll take it. But the key to this was that any
- 11:46common laptop or PC can validate transactions.
- 11:51Okay, now we're going to enter eith 2.0.
- 11:54Those ideas e 2.0 will reduce Mining and transition to proof
- 12:00of stake. Bright as we've been making fun
- 12:03of for many months and that they haven't been able to do in six
- 12:06years. How much does it cost to
- 12:09activate a set of validator keys in aetherium to the answer is a
- 12:14staggering 32 eith, 80,000 dollar some that excludes
- 12:19billions of people from any hope of ever becoming a validator.
- 12:23That's right. That on in their staking
- 12:25protocol, which is inclusive and ultrasound money for everyone.
- 12:30Apparently not. Everyone is going to be able to
- 12:32Validate their own transactions. Because only the wealthy could
- 12:35afford to participate in a theorem to as an independent,
- 12:37validator everyday, users must pull their funds together and
- 12:41delegate their votes there for introducing centralization.
- 12:46Okay? So look.
- 12:47So I put out a tweet about this today that one of our fellow
- 12:51viewers responded on and you know, their point I'm not going
- 12:57to bring up their tweet or anything like that because you
- 12:59know, maybe they don't want to have their tweet up and they do
- 13:01you No, they do watch the show. So but for me it was more about
- 13:05the fact that like look that their point was, if you bought
- 13:08Etha two dollars, it only costs you $64 to be a validating node,
- 13:13okay. I don't disagree with you about
- 13:15that point. But the point is today, if you
- 13:18decided that you wanted to partake in this shit coin
- 13:21ecosystem, you'd have to spend 80 grand to validate your own
- 13:25transactions. Bitcoin back in 2010.
- 13:29You were able to install the Bitcoin core software in He 22,
- 13:33we can install the Bitcoin core software same price, same price
- 13:38to validate exact same price, very low barrier to entry.
- 13:42Anyways, soup. Beef, are you still need
- 13:45specific Hardware in order to run the Bitcoin software
- 13:48download the chain to roughly around?
- 13:50$300? $300, if you want to do it,
- 13:52cheaper to build a very cheap, you know, Bitcoin node and
- 13:58compare that to the eighty thousand dollar barrier to
- 14:00entry. It's a very big.
- 14:02Big difference, right? And that was a, that was one of
- 14:04the that was very contentious issue in the four cores, right?
- 14:07Because if they would have increased, the block size, it
- 14:10would have increased the hardware requirement.
- 14:13Right? So, the reason, the block stayed
- 14:15the same or a big reason, the block stayed.
- 14:17The same is so that the barrier of Entry could stay lower and
- 14:20therefore decentralization, right?
- 14:22Which is that these guys never tell you this because it's not
- 14:25convenient to them and their narrative.
- 14:27Anyways just to for what are your thoughts on this fail?
- 14:33I think he's muted, he's processing.
- 14:35He works in life, he's cross-eyed.
- 14:36Okay. I like yeah we've made specific
- 14:41decisions just to just to make it easy to participate in
- 14:45Bitcoin, by setting a barrier to entry, a barrier to a vote in
- 14:51the East Network at eighty thousand dollars that's out of
- 14:56out of most people's annual salary.
- 14:59So like yeah, forget about actually participating or having
- 15:04a vote in an ecosystem that operates on proof of stake.
- 15:07And And having such a high threshold where I mean Bitcoin
- 15:12is not like that at all. It's open to anyone with a with
- 15:17an internet connection. Absolutely.
- 15:21No, it's 100% true. That is that is the beauty of
- 15:25Bitcoin. Anyways.
- 15:26Fill the next fail is a steaming pile of shit.
- 15:29Why don't you get to it? It is.
- 15:31Okay. The hook the hypocrisy is just
- 15:34it's fascinating, but but first we got we got to build it up,
- 15:37right? We got it, we got a little.
- 15:39Let this simmer because we need people to.
- 15:41There's a lot of people who may not know who knew real is, and
- 15:44how much of a fan he is of Bitcoin.
- 15:47So we just need to remind people.
- 15:48So let's take a look at some tweets.
- 15:50Late 2017. The bear case for Bitcoin and
- 15:53blockchain from an Insider in the industry who has invested in
- 15:56both right back in 2017 again, December 22nd today, Bitcoin
- 16:02plunging 30% and turning into a shit coin.
- 16:07All right, comparing Bitcoin Mania with tulip Mania.
- 16:13The Bitcoin bubble is much bigger. 2017.
- 16:18So you can see, right? He's he's he's hated Bitcoin for
- 16:21at least five years minimum five years.
- 16:24All right. So let's let's continue on more
- 16:29of more of new reals hate towards Bit Coin and crypto
- 16:33designed to avoid regulation the real roots of Bitcoin.
- 16:37No, it has to do with separating money from State and having a
- 16:42censorship resistant Ledger, that is public.
- 16:46Okay? So well, technically, okay,
- 16:49we'll play Devil's Advocate. Yeah.
- 16:51Yeah we'll play Devil's Advocate but in their perspective that
- 16:55sounds like avoiding regulation but again it's the details in
- 16:59the Nuance, right? Yes it's not that, it's it.
- 17:02It's just it's it. You can't have a political money
- 17:06if you regulate if you regulate it, it turns it into the system
- 17:09that we have today. And that's the argument that
- 17:12bitcoiners make. And now here's another argument,
- 17:14right? What are the, what have what is
- 17:16the? Both of these regulations, write
- 17:18the result of these regulations is that half the planet right?
- 17:22Roughly half the plan, it is deemed on bankable because of
- 17:25the place that they happen to be born it.
- 17:27So what are the what are the regulations?
- 17:30So called regulations that roubini is advocating for the
- 17:35Russian people. By the way, have nothing to do
- 17:37with their government. They got punished by the West
- 17:40because of the country, they happen to be born in the
- 17:43Ukrainian. People also got cut off from the
- 17:45financial system. Venezuelan people.
- 17:47Ben people Afghanistan, people, you get where I'm going with
- 17:50this. So yeah, the question, the
- 17:52question that I have for you guys is that current regulation
- 17:56whereas in a group of elite bureaucrats also known as
- 17:59politicians have the power to control who gets to use money or
- 18:04not. That's the question that I want
- 18:05to leave to you guys. Someone like nearby roubini to
- 18:09use, Alex gladstein Zone worlds, he has Financial privilege.
- 18:13But if you talk to a Cuban, right?
- 18:16That's using Owing to survive, right?
- 18:18They're going to tell you a whole different story.
- 18:21I think that no one, no human being should have the power to
- 18:24decide who gets to use money and who doesn't?
- 18:28Yep. Absolutely agreed.
- 18:30Okay, so this is 20 21. Okay, does Bitcoin is designed
- 18:35to avoid regulation. Let's move on, here we go.
- 18:38This is 2018. Bitcoin is the biggest bubble
- 18:42and bust in history. Biggest as up, 60 x, from three
- 18:46years before The peak NASDAQ was only for X.
- 18:49So, tiny bubble versus BTC. Okay?
- 18:51So you can see right here Bitcoin to him is just terrible,
- 18:56okay, it's just an awful awful thing.
- 18:58Here we go. This is a article that he wrote
- 19:02in 2019. The great crypto, Heist
- 19:06cryptocurrencies have given rise to an entire new Criminal
- 19:09industry brand new. It's a whole new Criminal
- 19:12industry, right? That's what it is.
- 19:14They're not doing the same old crimes to do.
- 19:17Doing brand new crimes, right? Drugs is this new thing?
- 19:21Okay this is crazy new thing that nobody's ever done right
- 19:24buying buying things. Illegally is new, it's just so
- 19:29ridiculous. Anyways comprar comprising
- 19:32unregulated offshore exchanges paid propagandist because we
- 19:35don't have paid propagandists in the Fiat system.
- 19:38Never seen a paid product and this inner life anyways and an
- 19:41army of scammers looking to fleece retail investors.
- 19:44You mean like Wall Street fleecing investors?
- 19:47During 42,000 age, mortgage crisis different, dude, because
- 19:50it look if you're an elite, it's not fleecing, right?
- 19:54It's just you just you just a good Trader, you're just, you're
- 19:57just good at what you do, but if you're a peasant, right, trying
- 20:00to, by GameStop or whatever and the hedge funds kind of, you
- 20:03know, screw you over, right? That's not allowed, right?
- 20:06And this is why Bitcoin pisses them off so much is because it
- 20:09puts everyone on a Level Playing Field.
- 20:11And that's what they mean by fleecing if they're not doing
- 20:14the fleecing that's a problem. That's right.
- 20:18So we can clearly see you. Worry, L, hates Bitcoin hates
- 20:22crypto. It's a scam.
- 20:24It's a scam. Crypto critics you real roubini
- 20:27is working on a tokenized dollar replacement.
- 20:30Oh my gosh, no way. We're surprised were surprised
- 20:33nouriel, roubini a blockchain Basher who famously called
- 20:36Bitcoin. The mother of all bubbles is
- 20:38working to develop a suite of financial products, including a
- 20:41tokenized asset intended to act as a more resilient Dollar in
- 20:47the Piece of higher inflation, climate change and civil unrest.
- 20:51That's right, again, his shit coin is going to fix climate
- 20:55change. I gotta tell you, I gotta tell
- 20:58you, I mean, don't get me wrong. Like I threw a whole bunch of
- 21:00dollars out the window, literally just out the window.
- 21:04The climate did not change not even for a second.
- 21:06I think I threw a whole bunch of money.
- 21:08It did not fix the climate. I you sure.
- 21:10Dude, it's really sure I dropped out dollars outside just to make
- 21:13sure it rains that day or something.
- 21:15If I don't want it to rain I don't take a dollar out.
- 21:17Everyone says when you throw money at it it fixes the
- 21:19problem. I just I'm not seeing it
- 21:21anyways. Okay, so here we go.
- 21:23So he's working with dubai-based Atlas Capital team which he
- 21:28joined two years ago as co-founder and chief Economist
- 21:33to create the new product. So I hate Bitcoin.
- 21:38I hate shit coins but by my shit coin this is anyone's with
- 21:44prominent Financial voices, including Bridgewater
- 21:46Associates, LPS Ray dalio and Credit Suisse AG strategist.
- 21:50Zoltan pose are having argued the US currency.
- 21:53Risks gradually losing its Reserve status.
- 21:56We need to fix this roubini said, in an interview, we
- 21:59recognize that America's dollar Reserve currency could be at
- 22:03risk, and are working to create a new New instrument, that's
- 22:07effectively more resilient than the dollar.
- 22:10So so they're working to create another centralized shit coin to
- 22:16replace the dollar. This is, this is pretty much
- 22:19what I'm understanding your unlike, unlike many
- 22:21cryptocurrencies roubini stresses that the coin would be
- 22:24backed by real assets. Ah, well that fixes the problem,
- 22:28a mix of short-term us treasuries, IE printing money
- 22:32out of thin air, gold and u.s. property.
- 22:35So pretty much the gold in the u.s. property of the only two
- 22:37things that are actually worth anything.
- 22:38But they don't need a shit coin, representing them because you
- 22:41can just go buy gold and you can go invest in u.s. property.
- 22:45Anyways our goal is to create a global store of value that coin
- 22:50already exists Bud. You're a little late.
- 22:53This is something akin to a substitute for treasuries or a
- 22:56digital asset that has payment features in it.
- 22:59Atlas Capital said it's working with mist and Labs the web three
- 23:03developer, founded by former. It applied for mink, Facebook
- 23:07engineers and backed by another another piece of signal,
- 23:11Andreessen Horowitz. Oh my gosh, no way a 16z in on,
- 23:16in on trying to create a, a token to replace the US currency
- 23:23as as the world Reserve. I am so surprised right now I'm
- 23:27totally surprised. Anyways, they're going to
- 23:30develop the technology for the United Sovereign governance
- 23:34gold. Optimized dollar or USG.
- 23:42Yeah, and here he is the guy who hates crypto himself nouriel,
- 23:47roubini Schilling, a shit coin. Say It Ain't So.
- 23:52No. It's so May 9th 2022.
- 23:55This is our timeline USG will be.
- 23:57The will be first, an index then an ETF.
- 24:00And last, a security token backed by real thin assets with
- 24:05AML kyc features hedge against inflation, Paul, and Geo poll
- 24:11risks. And with ESG features, guys,
- 24:14this thing is the Swiss army knife of money.
- 24:18It's going to do everything. Everything.
- 24:22But wait there's a kicker to all this.
- 24:24Phil what platform is this shit coin being built on?
- 24:30So we went to go take a look at the Atlas Group.
- 24:32Ha ha ha. I don't think I really need to
- 24:35say anything else. The proof is right here on the
- 24:39screen so so look, I am just completely speechless that this
- 24:46guy for the last five years has ripped into Bitcoin ripped into
- 24:51this industry as a whole. I mean, obviously, I can't
- 24:53disagree with him about the shit coins, but then turns around and
- 24:57is using the scammy, as platform of All the scams number one, and
- 25:02number two is literally recreating the same crap that
- 25:07all the shit coin, scammers that he called out.
- 25:10We're already creating But he seems to think it's different
- 25:17pure clown, World Nico, pure clown world.
- 25:21Bro, I mean first of all you did great.
- 25:23That was an awesome segment. I was highly entertained fucking
- 25:27roubini man. This, it's so funny because
- 25:29like, I hate Bitcoin but I'm here to fix it and I could make
- 25:32a better Bitcoin on aetherium but it's backed by dollars.
- 25:38Like this guy is such a joke. He's an academic.
- 25:40He's been if he just shut up and bought Bitcoin when he started
- 25:43talking shit about it you'd be significantly wealthier today so
- 25:48it's like Peter Schiff. I think it gets to a point.
- 25:50We're so much time passes that you've been criticizing Bitcoin
- 25:56that the price has has done its thing that these people just
- 25:59look like total dumb asses if they fold, if they capitulate
- 26:04they get on bitcoin. So what do they do?
- 26:05They double down but Bitcoin, just destroys egos, man.
- 26:09That's what it does. You got to humble yourself.
- 26:11That's that's, that's what it is, man.
- 26:13Even sailor back in the day, was criticizing Bitcoin but he
- 26:17realized like, hey, I got a lot to lose if I don't jump on this
- 26:20bandwagon. And so it's just man, you know,
- 26:23it's a shame but so be it just let him create a shit coin.
- 26:26Let him get wrecked. It doesn't solve any issues.
- 26:29It doesn't separate the monetary policy away from from human
- 26:32beings. We've as a species, we've done
- 26:35that many times, we've so-called backed our Fiat are backed our
- 26:39money with hard assets. Well, what tends to happen is
- 26:43people start taking shortcuts, right?
- 26:45Because your incentivized to because it's easy to do that
- 26:48with Bitcoin you'd literally cannot Right.
- 26:51That's what makes it unique. But you know, these these Fiat
- 26:54parasites, that that are financially privilege, they
- 26:57benefit from the Legacy system, they're incentivized not to
- 26:59understand this dude. I think she's a professor of
- 27:01Economics at some school NYU or something.
- 27:04Right. Like he's a professor and Fiat
- 27:06economics, right? Anyways, Jessa fur, what are
- 27:09your thoughts on mr. Roubini Professor rubinho.
- 27:13That's right. Professor, professor little bit.
- 27:15It's very rivini, man. It he's kind of like Resizing
- 27:21the lack of Regulation yet like when I think of Bitcoin, I'm
- 27:26looking at it, it's it's hugely regulated already.
- 27:29I mean we've got and the regulations that we can point to
- 27:33have to do with capital gains tax and an L KY C which are like
- 27:38some of the worst features. I mean when I'm introducing
- 27:41Bitcoin to to new people I have to tell them that they have to
- 27:45scan their drivers license now like forget about that.
- 27:49I mean they Introduced the the product of the regulation is
- 27:53like, these are the worst features of Bitcoin.
- 27:57And now new, real roubini is embracing these things putting
- 28:02it on the the scam chain and and on the build back better plan
- 28:09just to just to bring his her his surveillance token to the
- 28:14world. So awesome work Muriel.
- 28:17Yeah, absolutely right. It's so crazy.
- 28:20Yeah, it was actually Kaiser that said that when he came on
- 28:22the show, these are just egomaniacs.
- 28:25They can't stand that. They relate to bitcoin.
- 28:28All these plebs got in first and they're like, you know what?
- 28:30I'm just going to build my own. Okay bro do it, you know have
- 28:33fun. Staying poor will enjoy the
- 28:35freedom. You do your own thing.
- 28:37So yeah, I just I can't help thinking that like you know, how
- 28:41I always joke around that. They they spawn these creatures
- 28:44out of nowhere and then all of a sudden have them go out.
- 28:46Yeah. Exactly.
- 28:47Right. Like Steve hanky-panky.
- 28:50I am I swear, I swear they animated no real and they're
- 28:53like, all right. You're gonna be our guy that
- 28:55like looks really smart and dumps on the shit coins.
- 28:58We need you to make a token and everyone's going to follow
- 29:01because thinking. Yeah.
- 29:02Right. And what did they do?
- 29:04They credential eyes look, we've got Ray dalio.
- 29:08You've got Credit, Suisse Credit, Suisse has never been
- 29:10busted for being scammers, it doesn't matter.
- 29:13It doesn't matter. It's that when the peasants do
- 29:15the scamming, that's a problem. When the elites do the scamming,
- 29:19that's fine. They're just Special.
- 29:21They're just so good at what they do.
- 29:23You saw that with the whole game stops debacle, you saw them,
- 29:26it's like when they lose it's like ah it's like what they when
- 29:30they win. It's like oh we're just we're
- 29:31just amazing. You know it dude.
- 29:33The whole thing's a scam it even applies.
- 29:35So, when these big Banks fuck up, they it's like the public
- 29:38has to bail them out. When the public fucks up all?
- 29:41No, no, it's weird. We live in a capitalist Society.

- 34:13out. We told you we were actually
- 34:16calling this. We said that was a either a
- 34:19month ago or two months ago that the average purchase price of
- 34:24big of micro strategies Bitcoin was at 30,000 100, we told you
- 34:29that if Bitcoin went below that and it dipped a little bit below
- 34:32that today. Michael sailor is going to start
- 34:36at like he's gonna start earning his Badges and I think that that
- 34:40time has come definitely a lot of pressure.
- 34:43His stock must be doing not so good right now, you know and
- 34:47remember this is a guy that went on Tucker Carlson.
- 34:49He was basically saying the stock did so amazing doesn't
- 34:52look so good, right now, a lot of the naysayers are jumping up
- 34:56and down, jump A up and down. Enjoy, but remember, what was
- 34:59your first year in Bitcoin? Like, right, it usually unless
- 35:04you got very lucky and you got you nailed your entry, right?
- 35:07A lot of us got wrecked our first year, it's only after a
- 35:09couple years in Bitcoin. My opinion takes about three or
- 35:12four years of full cycle for you to start feeling comfortable
- 35:15with your stack, right? So Michael sailor, definitely
- 35:19earning a strikes right now. Stripes.
- 35:21Moving on the absolute degenerate of nine buchelli,
- 35:26there's a lot of degenerates in Bitcoin.
- 35:27The president of El Salvador, El Salvador, just bought the dip
- 35:31500 coins at an average USD price of thirty thousand, seven,
- 35:36hundred, forty four. And when I say degenerate, I'm
- 35:39speaking of myself. That's what pubs are we
- 35:41regenerates? And it's only in Bitcoin.
- 35:43When something goes down, 50, 80 percent that people still buy
- 35:49it. So, yeah, because we know, we
- 35:53know that we're not just investing in something.
- 35:55We know that we're opting out and we are buying some Freedom
- 35:59money, right? So that's the benefits of
- 36:01Bitcoin. That's why in Bitcoin people
- 36:03celebrate, when it dips, right? Because they know they're going
- 36:06to be able to stack more corn. Anyways Phil what are your
- 36:09thoughts on Michael Sailors are better said microstrategy's
- 36:13average buying price and I'm bouquet lays stack the dip.
- 36:17Yeah I was I was waiting. I was waiting for one of these
- 36:20Michael sailor announcements that come out and be like hey
- 36:22we're finally below his price. Don't get me wrong.
- 36:25The last time that we dipped, we So we're like looking more like
- 36:28what price was he in at because because look it's a true.
- 36:32It's a true test, right? It's a true test for the hollers
- 36:35you know that like when it hits your your prize and then it goes
- 36:38below you know like for those of us who know exactly what it's
- 36:41like to be sitting on - 80 % you know like it's extremely painful
- 36:46it's extremely painful to sit there and see that and have to
- 36:48retrain your brain. On the other hand, on the other
- 36:52hand, I don't I don't see Michael sailor, having such a
- 36:54hard time he just he is so overly bullish.
- 36:57I mean his bullishness just makes just makes it all better,
- 37:02but either way, that's that's for him.
- 37:03I have no Heroes. We have no Heroes, we're okay
- 37:06with that. That's his business, but
- 37:09hopefully, he's not sweating it out.
- 37:11The other piece to this is for for a night.
- 37:13But Kelly, He's he's got some balls man.
- 37:19He's the president of a country and he's just like he's like,
- 37:25no, I can't believe that. This is what we're living
- 37:33through now. It is never, you've never seen
- 37:35this stuff in like in the stock market.
- 37:37Look i-i've been watching stock since I was like 17 years old.
- 37:40Like I never saw anything like nobody ever nobody ever cared
- 37:44you know what I mean? Like you'd see.
- 37:45Like this is a The thing about Bitcoin that's very different
- 37:48and like I understand there's no community and all that shit
- 37:50that's perfectly fine. But the culture of Bitcoin, the
- 37:52way that it is you just don't see this in traditional Finance,
- 37:57okay? Like traditional Finance doesn't
- 37:59have the hearts and minds of people for some reason.
- 38:01This money does. Anyways, no, you're absolutely
- 38:05right. Jess Taffer.
- 38:06What are your thoughts on this? My friend I really love the the
- 38:11bitcoiners because the bear markets kind of just like expose
- 38:15who they are. And for these two, what I've
- 38:20seen so far is unshakable conviction.
- 38:24Like even with when microstrategy is like below
- 38:27their average by price, I'm betting that they're going to
- 38:30double down on this and already. Like I'm bullish on
- 38:35microstrategy just because they do have Bitcoin on the balance
- 38:38sheet like that. It is a tremendous asset for
- 38:42their company that's going to help them out in the in the
- 38:45years to come very excited about El Salvador and naive Kelly
- 38:50making this huge bet on bitcoin. Heck yeah.
- 38:53Stack that dip stack that dip? You heard it from jaystepher
- 38:57himself. Anyways check this out guys.
- 39:00Today we have we have a very special guest.
- 39:03He let me give you guys a little bit story, background of Jesper.
- 39:07We actually became friends during the bear Market.
- 39:09This is I usually became friends with bitcoiners, you don't make
- 39:12friends in the bull market, that's when all the grifters
- 39:14come in, you make the closest friends during the bear Market.
- 39:17That's when the true bitcoiners stick around and you would
- 39:20during that pain, right? Especially the first cycle is,
- 39:24when you build these tight friendships, right?
- 39:26That's how Phil. And I met, you know, that's how
- 39:28jessa4 met just for actually started a Bitcoin kindergarten.
- 39:31If you guys remember Optimus yesterday, he's the host of that
- 39:34show and he actually left to fight.
- 39:37Found find found is I don't know what, Do you found a lightning
- 39:41company? Very cool.
- 39:43So you know the name of this episode is going to be an update
- 39:46on the lightning Network. So before we get into that just
- 39:49for in you in an eloquent way, why don't you explain what the
- 39:54lightning network is and what's it for The lightning network is
- 40:00payment rails for Bitcoin. I think in the past we've heard
- 40:05that Bitcoin transactions are slow and that's not the case
- 40:08anymore because the lightning Network exists and it has
- 40:12Partnerships between nodes on the Bitcoin Network.
- 40:16That can update a little Ledger entry, and can make a payment
- 40:20just as simple as that. Just talking to another peer on
- 40:24the Bitcoin lightning Network just by That we can create a map
- 40:32of all of the, the lighting Network nodes and be able to
- 40:36report statistics on those very, very cool.
- 40:39So, let's take a look at some of those stats.
- 40:41I'm going to pull up ambos. I'm going to pull up some
- 40:42lightning stats. So this is first Bitcoin
- 40:45visuals, right? This is the lightning network
- 40:47capacity. This is the nodes the channels.
- 40:49It's all going parabolic, right? And this goes back to what I was
- 40:53talking about earlier on, in the show, right?
- 40:56What are the fundamentals of Coin, write the node network is
- 40:59going, is is increasing the lightning network capacity is
- 41:02increasing. The number of channels is
- 41:04increasing. The hash rate is increasing.
- 41:06The only thing that isn't increasing is the price, right?
- 41:09So again, it goes back to what Phil was saying.
- 41:12There's a lot of emotions right now, I think a lot of people are
- 41:14freaked out with the hawkish Fed so to speak.
- 41:18Anyways, this is ambos. This is the website and the
- 41:21company that that that gesture for founded.
- 41:25This is the lightning Channel. Is very cool.
- 41:30Jaystepher. We got a lot of requests.
- 41:32What is this? What is this place?
- 41:34Why would people want to use it? So am boss.
- 41:37That space is the lightning Network Explorer.
- 41:39So you can look up any of the nodes on the network.
- 41:42They each have their own profile page.
- 41:45What you're looking at right now is our latest product magma,
- 41:48which allows you to buy and sell channels on the lighting at
- 41:52work. So if you want to provide
- 41:54liquidity to the lightning Network.
- 41:57Why why just open a channel randomly when you can actually
- 42:00go and sell that liquidity? What we're seeing early numbers
- 42:04so far since We launched it just last week is that people are you
- 42:11can buy a channel for 2.25 percent APR.
- 42:15So hey, like that's a that's a strong offering.
- 42:19And if you're on the sell side of that channel, that's a
- 42:23potential yield that you can experience on your Bitcoin
- 42:26without giving up custody, you don't have to trust the platform
- 42:30in order to get exposure to some of the yield on your Bitcoin.
- 42:35So that's what makes magma really special and you don't
- 42:39need to be a complete wizard. You just need to be able to make
- 42:42one lightning payment and you can get a channel open to your
- 42:45non-custodial, Bitcoin, lightning node, what type of
- 42:49yields could people expect? And I actually want to give a
- 42:52shout-out to this one, it's called got polio which means
- 42:55shit chicken in Spanish. Leave it up to the bitcoiners to
- 42:58come up with funny ass names. What type of yield?
- 43:01Because I know a lot of people are curious, what type of yield
- 43:03could you get from your Bitcoin, a You do offer liquidity in
- 43:07terms of percentage terms? Yeah, I have to be really
- 43:10careful on this front from the marketing piece because I can't
- 43:16offer security. So I'm not going to give any
- 43:18estimates on the yield of people can get, but basically you can
- 43:23post an offer and if it gets accepted, you'll have an idea of
- 43:27how much you would make you set the prices.
- 43:29It'll just be like Craigslist. So yeah, you're selling your
- 43:33chairs and whatnot. You're asking.
- 43:36Dollars and if someone picks it up, then boom, that money is in
- 43:39your pocket and and we can make that happen with Magma.
- 43:44Awesome. So where do you see, what would
- 43:48you say the current state of lightning is today compared to
- 43:52where it was two years ago compared to when you really
- 43:55started? Because I know you were always
- 43:56curious. That was always your know I
- 43:58would be into mining. I would talk about that.
- 44:00You would be into into lightning.
- 44:02So what it what would you say is the current state of the
- 44:05lighting up Yeah, it's good to keep in mind that like you never
- 44:09work is 4 years old so that was back in 2018 when it started I
- 44:16was playing around with it in late, 2018, early 2019 we've
- 44:23watched it transition from really only developers in there
- 44:28too. Now we've got this you can call
- 44:30it the umbrella effect, we're just regular people plebs are
- 44:35getting connected. Hooked up to the lightning
- 44:38Network and we're watching the cost of nodes drop down.
- 44:41So we're watching not Leto, come out, not all one of the sponsors
- 44:47have a Bitcoin lightning node for under two hundred dollar
- 44:52price point, which is a really, really accelerating Factor.
- 44:57If you wanted, you could also spin up a note on voltage and
- 45:01then and that's that's for a small monthly fee.
- 45:05So that's not your Hardware, but it's still Still not custodial.
- 45:08So like we're watching a whole bunch of the barriers to entry
- 45:12disappear and the and the transactions are just a fraction
- 45:18of the cost of what you would pay with a domestic Visa card
- 45:22transaction. So it's going to be, it's wicked
- 45:25cheap, it's super fast and it's not custodial and no one's
- 45:29spying on your transactions. So let's talk a little bit about
- 45:32the downsides, right? Because this it sounds very
- 45:34awesome but one of the things that it Like you said,
- 45:38Lightnings very young. I think that this is going to
- 45:40all get fixed as time. Goes by the analogy that I
- 45:43always want to put in. People's minds is remember how
- 45:45the internet was and, you know, the early 2000s late 90s is
- 45:49clunky. It's ugly.
- 45:50You're like, what the hell is this?
- 45:52You know, people were like, this isn't going to go anywhere
- 45:54lightning, in my opinion is kind of there, right?
- 45:57So one of the bars to entry and what I see, a lot of people
- 46:01complain about and I know that mun wallet has done this.
- 46:03Incredible job, they have this kind of self semi I custodian
- 46:07solution where they don't have. It's like, they hold one key.
- 46:10You hold one key. They use something called a
- 46:12submarine swap, its really awesome.
- 46:14They kind of solved it, but it is semi custodial.
- 46:17One of the things that one of the issues I have with lightning
- 46:21is that it's hard to set up, right?
- 46:23It's not as easy as just downloading a Bitcoin wallet.
- 46:25You know, some wallets give that functionality as you just make a
- 46:27password, you don't have to write down a seat, but with that
- 46:30enables is it Nate, is it? It makes a very easy user
- 46:33experience especially for someone who's transitioning.
- 46:37From the Fiat world to the Bitcoin world right?
- 46:40In my opinion, I think the Fiat system is much harder to
- 46:43understand but because people grew up with it right there,
- 46:46just accustomed to it, right? And now you're teaching them a
- 46:49whole other alternative system that the foundation of that
- 46:53alternative system is based on something called self custody.
- 46:56That might seem very aliens of people.
- 46:57So that's one of the concerns I have.
- 46:59That's one of the issues that I had to because it's like, yeah,
- 47:01I could run my own, whatever, but it's like, I'll just use the
- 47:04main chain, because it's just so much easier, right?
- 47:07Right? And then mom came out, I was
- 47:08like, oh great, I could keep a couple hundred dollars on here,
- 47:10I don't have to worry about it. What is the status of that who's
- 47:14working on it? How long until that?
- 47:17I want to say gets fixed, but where someone creates this very
- 47:21intuitive in like makes it very easy, what the user experience,
- 47:25what is the status of that? I think that user experience is
- 47:30like, as you said, starting with very clunky, it's still pretty
- 47:34clunky, but it's getting there. It's getting to the point where,
- 47:39you know, no one needs to know needs to code in order to be
- 47:42able to run a lightning node if you can spin up a Bitcoin node
- 47:48like you're in business. Like this is, this is really all
- 47:51that's required and I think the technology is getting is rapidly
- 47:57improving. Things that I'm watching,
- 48:00include green light, which allows you to not even have to
- 48:03manage the channels manage the node at all.
- 48:07But yet still be able to sign individual transactions.
- 48:11So you control your money. But I mean, all of this comes
- 48:17with trade-offs, of course. So it won't be your Hardware.
- 48:21You won't be able to control the uptime, of course block stream
- 48:24as a pillar of the Bitcoin. Community.
- 48:29I'm sure they've got some really awesome Solutions in their back
- 48:33pocket. But yeah, it's continuously
- 48:36developing you can you can compare it to like buying a
- 48:43clover setup for your business to accept credit card
- 48:46transactions. Yeah.
- 48:48You're probably going to blow $400 on one of those Terminals
- 48:51and instead, you could have a completely self, Sovereign,
- 48:56Bitcoin lightning node set. And be able to receive
- 49:01dollar-denominated payments. If your pavement, if your
- 49:03customers want to pay with strike, this is this is
- 49:08something that yeah, we're just moving things one.
- 49:12Step forward at a time. What happened?
- 49:15What has you the last question? What?
- 49:17How and then I'll pass it on to fill?
- 49:19What has you the most exciting excited right now about the
- 49:22future of lightning? Sorry.
- 49:26I missed that bit wise. You what has you the most
- 49:28exciting about the future of lightning?
- 49:33I think tarot, so this is going to be other assets.
- 49:37That would be issued on the lightning Network and what's
- 49:41special about tarot compared to all the other proposals for
- 49:45stable coins on lightning is that the any changes happen at
- 49:51the edges. So in order to add another asset
- 49:55on to the lightning Network everybody that is already
- 49:59participating in a lighting network, doesn't need to Inch
- 50:02yet. They only participate when it
- 50:04comes to transferring value. So one person can transfer
- 50:09dollars at one end. It switches to the next note
- 50:12it's at it gets routed through the lightning Network to someone
- 50:15else in another country that wants to receive pesos.
- 50:18So this is, you know, there's there's no mental change needed
- 50:23to happen to understand deeply Bitcoin, like, like we do all
- 50:29they need to understand is you know, the Stable coin that
- 50:32they've become familiar with which is the shit coin of their
- 50:35Nation instead, they'll be using the lightning and work just
- 50:41because it's fast, it's cheap. And it has final settlement,
- 50:46that's very, very, very fucking awesome.
- 50:50Phil, would you have any final questions before we wrap it up?
- 50:54No questions. But there's some let's move on.
- 50:57No question. I'm just kidding.
- 51:00Thank you for playing. No, but that just just some some
- 51:04final comments to add on to what just aforesaid.
- 51:06Right? Because I think I started
- 51:08messing around with lightning around the same time as him and
- 51:10just to give people you know, some further perspective to his
- 51:13point three years ago you couldn't set up a node without a
- 51:16command prompt. The only node that you could was
- 51:19the chasm note and that note was I had one.
- 51:23It was very limited, very limited in its functionality.
- 51:27You couldn't really see anything that was going on.
- 51:29You couldn't do any types of configurations.
- 51:31Nations, it was very cut and dry.
- 51:34Okay, so we have come Leaps and Bounds from that point to see
- 51:40the development that we have an especially this is all not one
- 51:43giant Corporation. These are all individual
- 51:46entities, all working on the same protocol, okay?
- 51:50This is really cool stuff. Well, three different protocols,
- 51:52but still like, if we look at everybody that is building on
- 51:55lnd, they're all building separately in their building
- 51:57amazing stuff. You know, between start9 between
- 52:00lightning labs and Anyways, the other piece that I was the other
- 52:03piece that I wanted to mention had to do with the user
- 52:07experience, right. People don't like to feel change
- 52:12and what just a was just talking about with tarot.
- 52:14Okay, this is huge because one of the main issues that a lot of
- 52:18people, a lot of older people will tell you with Bitcoin is
- 52:21that like all of a sudden they feel that they have to switch
- 52:24their mind to something else to start thinking differently.
- 52:28But when we can actually do this kind of magic, Right in the
- 52:32background and they can just see something that is familiar to
- 52:35them, but they can take advantage of the benefits of the
- 52:38Bitcoin Network. That's beautiful.
- 52:42Anyways, awesome stuff man, I love what you're doing at am
- 52:45boss. This is huge.
- 52:47This is necessary. So thank you.
- 52:49Okay, absolutely bullish. So remember guys, after after
- 52:54this crazy day with the price in the volatility, all that shit.
- 52:58Look at all the bullishness, right.
- 53:00If you ignore the noise and you pay attention to the signal,
- 53:03could it be more bullish. But anyways, feel there was an
- 53:05open source software released today, wanting to everybody
- 53:07about it software releases brought to By Cipher safe, check
- 53:12them out. Cipher safe, dot IO.
