• 0:07
  It's all. Going to zero against Bitcoin,
• 0:11
  It's going up for everyone. You're against Bitcoin, You're
• 0:21
  against freedom yo. Welcome to another episode of
• 0:26
  Simply Bitcoin Live or your number one source for the
• 0:28
  peaceful Bitcoin revolutionary code breaking news culture of
• 0:31
  magic warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:33
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:35
  Interesting Elon Musk, very interesting character because it
• 0:43
  kind of reminds me of the gold bugs.
• 0:45
  Correctly identifies a lot of the issues last.
• 0:50
  You know, one of the things that we're going to cover today just
• 0:52
  someone asked basically like what is the scam that you know
• 0:57
  is is so well propagated that people are just considering it.
• 1:01
  A matter of fact. And Elon must just answered Fiat
• 1:05
  money, Fiat currency, right. But this reminds me of something
• 1:08
  that beauty on always says if you don't, if you identify the
• 1:13
  problem but you don't present a solution, it's like you're kind
• 1:18
  of running in the same place, right?
• 1:20
  And and and this this also applies to politics as well,
• 1:23
  right. So because politics don't like,
• 1:27
  you know, you can vote for the, you know, the liberal or the
• 1:30
  conservative or the independent or the libertarian or whatever.
• 1:34
  But if you don't fix the root problem, which is bureaucratic,
• 1:40
  elite have the ability to create money for free that everyone
• 1:42
  else has to work for. The whole system is rotten.
• 1:46
  If you don't fix that, it doesn't matter who you vote for
• 1:50
  because the incentive structure is just not aligned.
• 1:53
  Right. So.
• 1:55
  And Elon also talked about freedom of speech as well.
• 1:59
  And you know, he's, he's seen the writing on the wall, right?
• 2:03
  You know, there's some comments made by President Biden
• 2:06
  basically saying that, you know, he's kind of bummed out that the
• 2:09
  US government can no longer ask Twitter to, you know, deep
• 2:14
  platform or censor certain things, even though that is
• 2:16
  explicitly against the 1st Amendment.
• 2:19
  But that goes hand in hand, right?
• 2:21
  That goes hand in hand with what I believe we're living through
• 2:27
  as a human species. We're, we're living through the
• 2:28
  disintermediation of of information and the
• 2:32
  disintermediation of money and all these old models, whether
• 2:37
  it's, you know, the government's, you know, and
• 2:42
  their ability to control the narratives using media sources,
• 2:47
  you know, the Internet has greatly diminished their ability
• 2:51
  to control the narrative, their ability to control speech, their
• 2:54
  ability to control money. And that in turn empowers
• 2:59
  individuals. And I think slowly but surely
• 3:02
  with tweets from Elon, we're also going to cover a video from
• 3:06
  Eric Weinstein talking about, you know, how bitcoiners are
• 3:09
  just saying Bitcoin fixes this. And he's like, that's not true.
• 3:12
  What you're seeing is the slow shift of the Overton window.
• 3:16
  A slow shift of the Overton window, slowly Bitcoin.
• 3:20
  The idea of Bitcoin is sleep is seeping into the mainstream.
• 3:24
  And I think that's why you have the hostility from governments,
• 3:27
  from the I MF, from the World Economic Forum, all these very
• 3:32
  powerful institutions that are just not fans of Bitcoin
• 3:36
  precisely because you know it. It it takes away their monopoly,
• 3:43
  their monopoly on information, their monopoly on money.
• 3:46
  So yeah, we're gonna cover that on today's episode.
• 3:49
  I think all roads lead to Bitcoin.
• 3:51
  We've made episodes on this before with Elon, you know,
• 3:54
  talking about potentially including a Playman platform,
• 3:58
  intox.com, formerly known as Twitter.
• 4:01
  He's gonna quickly find out that, like, unless he uses
• 4:05
  Bitcoin as the base layer, as the back end of that,
• 4:09
  governments are just going to censor it.
• 4:10
  They're going to destroy it. They did the same thing to
• 4:12
  PayPal. They did the same thing to
• 4:13
  Facebook when Facebook wanted to launch their own, you know,
• 4:18
  cryptocurrency, the Libra, the government shut that down real
• 4:21
  quick, right? So that's why it's Bitcoin,
• 4:24
  because they don't have the ability to shut it down.
• 4:28
  And because they don't have the ability to shut it down, they're
• 4:30
  forced to compete with it. And if they're forced to compete
• 4:34
  with it, then it's not just like, OK, you have to use our
• 4:38
  money just because it's more so. We have to incentivize people to
• 4:44
  use our money. The problem is that when people
• 4:47
  have a choice between using a money that is deflationary,
• 4:52
  using a money that is censorship resistant versus using a money
• 4:55
  that is inflationary and censored over time, that door
• 5:02
  only goes one way, right? So yeah, excited about today's
• 5:08
  episode, Lots, of lots of things to talk about.
• 5:11
  But before we start the show and I bring up my legendary cohost,
• 5:13
  he's always optimistic. Are you optimistic this week up?
• 5:17
  Dude, being optimistic is a state of mind, Nico.
• 5:20
  You got to always stay optimistic or else you'd end up
• 5:23
  crying in a fetal position. In this field, we stay
• 5:27
  optimistic out there. But yeah man, crazy.
• 5:30
  I think today's topic kind of goes into a theme we talk about
• 5:33
  here on the show constantly that I think most people know what
• 5:36
  the problem is. Well, at least most people that
• 5:38
  know or are in tune with what is going on in the world.
• 5:42
  We know what the problem is. Obviously it is Fiat monies and
• 5:45
  the money printer but few people know what the what the solution
• 5:48
  is to that and we even posted on our on our Twitter this morning.
• 5:52
  It's like, does Elon like how long will it take for Elon to
• 5:55
  understand Bitcoin? And I'm kind of going back and
• 5:58
  forth like I I think he does understand Bitcoin, but he just
• 6:01
  likes to troll. Or on the other hand, you know,
• 6:04
  he's a billionaire. He's got a lot of Fiat money, so
• 6:06
  he probably doesn't have to understand how money works
• 6:09
  because he just gets so much of it.
• 6:11
  So until he started feeling the pain, maybe, I don't know, maybe
• 6:14
  he does understand Tesla does have own a lot of Bitcoin,
• 6:18
  right? So, So maybe he's playing dumb.
• 6:22
  Anyways, I want to bring up our guests Zia Legendary Bitcoiner.
• 6:27
  How you doing bro? Hey there guys.
• 6:30
  Happy. Happy to.
• 6:32
  Thank you for joining us. Man, Z is an absolute legend
• 6:35
  true bitcoiner. And I think you know I love
• 6:38
  having, I love having Z on the show.
• 6:40
  Because this Bitcoin isn't just a phenomenon that is happening
• 6:45
  in one location or in in one specific location.
• 6:50
  It this is a worldwide phenomenon, right?
• 6:52
  This is a worldwide phenomenon of individuals choosing to use
• 6:56
  Bitcoin as money. So we're really, really happy to
• 7:00
  have him on the show today and to get into conversation.
• 7:05
  So Zia, once again, thank you so much for joining us.
• 7:08
  Yeah, thanks for thanks for the invite actually.
• 7:11
  So I'm very happy to be here. I love your project and your
• 7:16
  podcast and the media that you're.
• 7:20
  Actually trying to focus only on Bitcoin and I get, I think that
• 7:25
  the positive positivity that comes in the simpler Bitcoin
• 7:30
  maybe comes from optimists here. So I've seen this and it's it's
• 7:35
  a bit difficult. It's a bit different than some
• 7:38
  other actually medias here and in this space, in the Bitcoin
• 7:42
  space. I love it, and I don't know if
• 7:45
  your audience knows me. What I.
• 7:49
  I'm a YouTuber, podcaster, Bitcoin educator and Bitcoin
• 7:53
  enthusiast from your own. I've been doing this since, I
• 7:58
  don't know, 2000 and 1617 for now, and I've built communities
• 8:03
  here in your own. I've contributed a lot to the
• 8:05
  space and try to educate people I like.
• 8:10
  I would like to consider myself as like I've done.
• 8:14
  Some very influential things with regard to growing the
• 8:18
  Bitcoin space here like our community rocks actually.
• 8:21
  So it's it has done many things they've built to complete the I
• 8:27
  don't know, what do you, what do you call it, something an index
• 8:30
  of resources all translated to Farsi, which is the language
• 8:34
  that people in Iran talk they they've done a lot of things.
• 8:40
  They've done projects that help spread Bitcoin awareness.
• 8:43
  They've. Actually contributed to Bitcoin
• 8:46
  projects all we even had people from our community who
• 8:50
  contributed very small things in Bitcoin Core.
• 8:53
  So it's like it's it's a very good community it's it may have
• 8:58
  sometimes people are saying in the chat that your your gain is
• 9:03
  a little bit low. Can you can you raise it?
• 9:06
  Raise it? Yeah.
• 9:10
  How about now? Much better.
• 9:12
  Yeah, make it. A bit closer.
• 9:14
  So what were you saying? Sorry.
• 9:18
  Yeah, I know it's coming in great now.
• 9:20
  Yeah, great. So yeah, we've done a lot of
• 9:24
  things here. So we've tried our best, but we
• 9:28
  could do more, even more here. And there is a big crowd in here
• 9:33
  actually interested in, let's not say, Bitcoin right now.
• 9:40
  Interested. So I'm going to, I'm going to
• 9:42
  talk about this later on when we're going to talk about like
• 9:45
  the situation Iran, about inflation and all of those stuff
• 9:48
  that happens in Iran. So let's say that we've got a
• 9:51
  lot of people who are interested in anything that they could put
• 9:58
  their hands on that could help them deal with the inflation
• 10:02
  here in Iran, so. Let's not say only Bitcoin, but
• 10:06
  it is actually one of the best tools out there.
• 10:10
  That may be actually a bit clouded but by the all of these
• 10:16
  like crazy stuff happening in the I don't know what do you
• 10:20
  call it the crypto space and the allcoin and ship coins?
• 10:23
  The space. It may be clouded by all of this
• 10:27
  stuff, but eventually all of them.
• 10:30
  Know that it is that Bitcoin that attracts them, but they may
• 10:34
  not know it right now. So yeah, so this is, this is I'm
• 10:39
  living in such a space and this is very different from what Opti
• 10:43
  was saying about Elon. That okay, that guy has a lot of
• 10:48
  money and he lives in a Western country that has some, like,
• 10:56
  what do you call it? We could we could agree that
• 10:59
  they it definitely have the basic level of I don't know
• 11:05
  living conditions that people would would would be happy to
• 11:10
  have in the in their society. But it's how what do you call,
• 11:15
  how do you call it Alex Glaston says that they are privileged.
• 11:19
  They have like financial advantage.
• 11:23
  And they don't know about it. So we know about the
• 11:27
  disadvantage we know. And like people from like
• 11:31
  bitcoiners from other places in the world, they may not know
• 11:37
  about this. So I'm very happy to talk about
• 11:39
  this here. And let's chat about it.
• 11:42
  Yeah, absolutely, man. Welcome to the show, guys.
• 11:45
  It's gonna be a good one. Let's jump straight into the
• 11:46
  numbers. The Bitcoin numbers.
• 11:51
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 11:54
  Is your seed phrase really secure?
• 11:57
  Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
• 11:58
  Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
• 12:02
  commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
• 12:06
  paper. Don't store your generational
• 12:09
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 12:12
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 12:14
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 12:17
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 12:20
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 12:24
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 12:26
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 12:30
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 12:33
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 12:35
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 12:39
  time proof. All things that paper is not not
• 12:41

• 12:44
  the long haul. Stamp your seed on Stamp Seed.
• 12:48

  Realize monetary inflation 1.75% The market capitalization of
• 13:37
  Bitcoin $547 billion of the B Bitcoin versus gold market cap
• 13:44
  4.37%. Anyways guys so we talked a lot
• 13:49
  about this concept of the Overton window but before we get
• 13:53
  to that I actually want to show you this video and apparently 60
• 14:02
  minutes did a piece on the FTX collapse and this person had
• 14:11
  some thoughts on had some thoughts on SBF and he said some
• 14:16
  really interesting things I I just like at this point like
• 14:21
  anyways I'll I'll I'll play you guys the video you guys you guys
• 14:24
  can come to your own conclusions.
• 14:26
  One of the most shocking passages in this book, I
• 14:29
  thought, came with this revelation that Sam had looked
• 14:31
  into paying Donald Trump not to run.
• 14:34
  That only shocks you if you don't know Sam Sam's thing.
• 14:38
  We could pay Donald Trump not to run for president.
• 14:41
  Like, how much would it take? Did he get an answer?
• 14:44
  So he did get an answer. He was floated.
• 14:46
  There was a number that was kicking around and numbers
• 14:48
  kicking around when I was talking to Sam about this was $5
• 14:50
  billion. Sam was not sure that number
• 14:52
  came directly from Trump. Wait, wait, so Sam's looking
• 14:55
  into paying Trump not to run and he actually get Didn't men have
• 14:59
  come from Trump himself? But he actually got a price.
• 15:02
  He got one answer. Yes.
• 15:04
  The question Sam had was not just his $5 billion enough to
• 15:09
  pay Trump not to run, but was it legal?
• 15:12
  Well, why didn't this happen? Why did you follow through?
• 15:14
  Well, they were still having these conversations when FTX
• 15:17
  blew up. So why didn't happen?
• 15:19
  He didn't have $5 billion anymore.
• 15:22
  Approach for comment by 60 minutes Neither former President
• 15:25
  Trump nor Senator McConnell responded last November.
• 15:29
  In a matter of days, mega billionaire Sam Bankman, freed,
• 15:32
  lost virtually everything, and he soon faced an onslaught of
• 15:36
  federal fraud charges. Dude, I mean and again, like,
• 15:42
  where is he paying him that money from?
• 15:43
  He's paying that money from other people's money because
• 15:46
  that wasn't his money in the 1st place.
• 15:50
  Holy holy cow. And this is just this having and
• 15:54
  I I can't even imagine what the next one holds anyways.
• 15:56
  So moving it back to the concept of the Over Overton window, this
• 16:00
  is Eric Weinstein, his extremely popular podcast.
• 16:04
  This is of course the legendary one and only American huddle, he
• 16:08
  says. Narrator.
• 16:08
  It was, in fact, it was in fact the answer.
• 16:12
  Here's what Eric Weinstein had to say.
• 16:14
  Some of you have an idea that you've got one lens, which is
• 16:18
  fix the money, fix the world. Bitcoin.
• 16:20
  That's the answer. Yeah, Bitcoin rock on.
• 16:23
  But no, that's not the answer some of you, an American, holds
• 16:30
  comment Nader. It was in fact the answer.
• 16:36
  Okay. So moving back to the concept of
• 16:39
  the Overton Window, right, So what is the Overton Window?
• 16:42
  The Overton Window is the range of policies politically
• 16:45
  acceptable to the mainstream population at any given time.
• 16:49
  It is also known as the window of disclosure.
• 16:51
  So, you know, here it is. So on the very top it's
• 16:55
  unthinkable, then radical, then acceptable, then sensible, then
• 16:59
  popular, than policy right. And of course, this varies
• 17:04
  dramatically depending on where you are in the world.
• 17:10
  In Argentina, for example, you know, the whole concept of
• 17:14
  ending the central bank, you know, getting, you know, Bitcoin
• 17:19
  is cool. Or for example, Salvador, right.
• 17:22
  You know, Bitcoin's legal tender, it's already policy
• 17:24
  there, right. And it's interesting because in
• 17:27
  those countries, they got so effed by the current system that
• 17:32
  it's pushed them from Thinking that the current system is
• 17:36
  popular to the current system is unthinkable there.
• 17:39
  The current system is crazy. It's radical, right?
• 17:42
  So what? What does this have to do with
• 17:44
  this clip that I just played you?
• 17:45
  Well, Eric Weinstein, like Joe Rogan, like Lex Friedman, like,
• 17:51
  you know, Tim Poole or is why we get so excited every time Tim
• 17:54
  Poole is, like, saying, look, everything's burning down, I'm
• 17:57
  just going to buy Bitcoin. And of course, the reason Tim
• 17:59
  Poole's saying that is because Max Kaiser offered Tim Poole
• 18:03
  thousands of Bitcoin when it was like pennies on the dollar, when
• 18:06
  it was like a dollar a coin, right?
• 18:08
  So the Overton window is shifting.
• 18:13
  And when someone takes a stance like this against Bitcoin, it
• 18:16
  reminds me of those tweets, those very famous tweets of
• 18:21
  those bitcoiners basically saying, like, oh, I'm not going
• 18:25
  to buy Bitcoin because it's already at a dollar.
• 18:28
  It's too expensive. Like, that video is going to age
• 18:31
  just like that, right? You're going to look at that
• 18:33
  like 10 years from now and be like, whoa, it really was the
• 18:37
  money all along. And if you think about it like,
• 18:40
  like if you think about why bitcoiners say that, like, fix
• 18:42
  the money, fix the world. Like, it's a very simple
• 18:45
  concept. Like half of every transaction,
• 18:50
  there's money involved, The base layer of society, there's money
• 18:54
  involved. And if that base layer is
• 18:56
  corrupted, that base layer is broken, society is broken,
• 19:02
  right? There's a tremendous amount of
• 19:05
  people that, sorry, there's a, there's a, a, there's there's
• 19:08
  this elite group of people that have this ungodly power of being
• 19:13
  able to control money, the issuance of money, The Who is
• 19:19
  entitled to use money, who's not entitled to use money?
• 19:21
  The weaponization of of of that power, right.
• 19:26
  And and that really misaligns incentives completely.
• 19:29
  It like Frankenstein's, the whole system.
• 19:33
  And I think what we're living through right now, like a lot of
• 19:36
  people will say I've heard this 1000 times like this is late
• 19:39
  stage capitalism. No, ladies and gentlemen, what
• 19:43
  you're living through is late stage Fiat.
• 19:45
  That's what we're living through right now, late stage Fiat.
• 19:48
  So I think Eric Weinstein is wrong.
• 19:51
  I do believe. Fix the money, fix the world.
• 19:54
  But that 60 minutes piece, so it's absolutely hilarious, man.
• 19:59
  This guy was bribing A potentially a presidential
• 20:03
  candidate with $5 billion of other people's money.
• 20:08
  Like, holy cow dude. And this was this cycle.
• 20:12
  I can't even imagine what the next cycle is going to be like
• 20:14
  the, you know, the craziness and the intensity and all the
• 20:18
  madness. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
• 20:21
  on all this, bro? This is.
• 20:23
  Like, if you would have told I know I heard the stories about
• 20:26
  the crazy stuff in the penthouse.
• 20:28
  Like, I I heard those stories and I was already like, OK,
• 20:30
  that's pretty that's pretty nuts.
• 20:32
  But like, bribing the leading presidential candidate on the
• 20:37
  opposing party $5 billion not to run for office and then him
• 20:41
  asking like, is this legal? Like, dude, that's so crazy to
• 20:45
  me. It's so crazy.
• 20:46
  And again, the entire time it was not his money, which is like
• 20:50
  the cherry on top in my opinion. Yeah, well, personally, I'm not
• 20:54
  really surprised considering all kinds of the crazy news we saw
• 20:58
  come out of the SBS stuff. I I'm really more surprised
• 21:01
  about how 60 Minutes has covered all this stuff.
• 21:04
  And obviously here it's simply Bitcoin.
• 21:06
  You know what we say all the time.
• 21:07
  The corporate press is not to be trusted.
• 21:09
  We know who their masters are. But.
• 21:12
  You know, sidestepping that, obviously it's a big number and
• 21:15
  of course as someone that is anti shit coin, it's like wow,
• 21:19
  you know it. It must be very easy to use
• 21:22
  other people's stuff to or other people's money to fund things
• 21:26
  that you like. Hint on the Canteon effect, hint
• 21:29
  on why we are in the place that we are right now and on the
• 21:33
  Weinstein clip. It just really makes me think of
• 21:38
  the. Classic meme of intellectual,
• 21:40
  you idiot. And I'm not saying Weinstein's
• 21:42
  an idiot. He's way smarter than I am,
• 21:43
  obviously. Like, I don't know, he's he's
• 21:45
  damn near like a rocket scientist or whatever.
• 21:47
  He's, you know, way more accomplished in the academic
• 21:50
  field than I am. But it's funny that he can't see
• 21:55
  the nuance in that statement of like, obviously when bitcoiners
• 21:58
  say fix the money, fix the world, there is some nuance in
• 22:01
  what we're saying, but it goes back to the basic.
• 22:05
  Premise that we talk about here on the show all the time.
• 22:07
  The more money you print, the poorer everyone gets and the
• 22:09
  more money they can print to fund things that we don't agree
• 22:12
  with, the more problems we see in the world.
• 22:15
  And we're constantly seeing this play out in real time.
• 22:17
  And so yes, you know, Narrator confirmed it was the money all
• 22:22
  along. It's always been the money.
• 22:24
  It has always been the money. It's been the money since the
• 22:27
  Roman Empire. You know, cliche men talking
• 22:29
  about the Roman Empire every single day.
• 22:31
  It's always about debasing the currency, guys.
• 22:33
  This is why we constantly tell you guys to protect yourself, to
• 22:36
  save in Bitcoin. Because look.
• 22:39
  Whether they're right or we're right, only time will tell and
• 22:43
  obviously we believe we're right.
• 22:45
  And so we put our money with our where our mouths is and we have
• 22:48
  taking as much money out of the Fiat system as possible and
• 22:52
  we're holding a currency or a money that cannot be debased
• 22:55
  because we do not agree with this stuff.
• 22:57
  Like we have come to a point where what's the saying, you
• 23:01
  know, I think it's Ben Franklin where he says, like there comes
• 23:04
  a point where people realize that they can vote.
• 23:09
  Themselves money or vote vote for things and and acquire
• 23:13
  basically capital and property And like this is where we are
• 23:16
  and This is why we don't like this is because I don't know
• 23:19
  about you but even that SPF example is just showing that if
• 23:23
  you have enough money you can try to pay people off.
• 23:25
  And I'm sure buying off bankers and politicians are just as
• 23:28
  cheap guys. I think we had the example last
• 23:31
  year that like buying off a politician is like $10,000 and
• 23:34
  if his name's not Trump because he's a billionaire himself and
• 23:37
  so buying off. People is just it's just a
• 23:40
  common occurrence and and that's why I'm not really surprised we
• 23:43
  know that this happens. I think it's just kind of a
• 23:47
  shocking because it was $5 billion and if that's true then
• 23:49
  it's like damn, man, you know I need to get in a different
• 23:52
  racket and you go, but I mean look this is where this is where
• 23:57
  we are in the world and This is why we do what we do on the show
• 23:59
  is we constantly show the hypocrisy of the Fiat system.
• 24:03
  But furthermore. We know what the problem is and
• 24:06
  we have a solution. It is taking Bitcoin into self
• 24:09
  custody. It is putting some sizable chunk
• 24:12
  of your savings into Bitcoin if you do not agree with this
• 24:14
  stuff, If this stuff is shocking to you, then you need to hold
• 24:17
  some Bitcoin because it is catching on in real time.
• 24:22
  Oh, man. Amen to that.
• 24:24
  Zia. What?
• 24:24
  What's your take on all this, bro?
• 24:27
  I think you're muted. I think you're muted.
• 24:31
  That's a bit far from our situation here.
• 24:35
  So it's it's, well, I don't know.
• 24:39
  It's about like what happens mostly in like the just see how
• 24:46
  this caption here is this call and just calling me lobbyists.
• 24:50
  All lobbyists are the business of all are the business of
• 24:53
  prides. So we don't have this thing
• 24:56
  here. So it works different here.
• 24:59
  It's like the money builds corruption, I would say like.
• 25:02
  So it builds corruption into some kind of a like a pyramid of
• 25:08
  power thing. So it's it's it's something
• 25:12
  different. It's not like you need to bribe
• 25:15
  people it's there's you opti just reference to the Canteon
• 25:20
  effect. So this this this works from
• 25:25
  it's directly. Works from the money printer
• 25:30
  people here so and the money printer people are the
• 25:33
  government and and it's it's it's it makes them have much
• 25:42
  more money to just play with and just not to not care about
• 25:47
  people so I know that. I know that it may have a lot of
• 25:51
  details and it may have a lot of details like with regard to like
• 25:57
  lobbying and with regard to how the American politics works.
• 26:03
  But it's much simpler here. So you've got money you've got
• 26:06
  power. So, but that that's the basic
• 26:09
  part. So it's it's in our corrupts
• 26:13
  here. So this is this is very.
• 26:19
  So it doesn't need to be told to people here.
• 26:22
  So people just walk around in the street and just see the news
• 26:28
  and everything and anyone. It's just ask anyone and they
• 26:32
  would tell you about the level of corruption that that that is
• 26:35
  that that's been happening here. So it's it's, yeah, it's not
• 26:39
  that difficult for people to see.
• 26:42
  The, the effect and the the what do you call it and the advantage
• 26:48
  of something like a very good and some money which cannot be
• 26:51
  controlled by the government or cannot be printed or cannot be
• 26:57
  hold in in their domain actually it's the issuance would not be
• 27:02
  in their domain. So, yeah, it's it's a bit
• 27:04
  different here and it's much more simpler, I guess.
• 27:09
  Yeah, 100%, A hundred percent, 100%.
• 27:12
  All right, everybody, let's get to the news.
• 27:14
  We got a lot to talk about. Let's check it out.
• 27:16

• 28:31
  So this is what I want to talk about today, cuz this is kind of
• 28:35
  it's like there he's he's right on the door.
• 28:38
  He's he he's, he's he's right on the door, He's knocking on the
• 28:41
  door, but he hasn't opened the door yet.
• 28:46
  And I just, I don't know. Anyways, so it says what's a
• 28:52
  scam That's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a
• 28:55
  scam anymore. And then Elon Musk says Fiat
• 28:59
  currency. Here's real eye says I stepped
• 29:04
  in shit and there's a 10 year old bill underneath.
• 29:08
  Why do you sell Tesla's Bitcoin? So look, everyone, you know a
• 29:11
  lot of bitcoiners are going in ham.
• 29:13
  This is why Twitter is so important, right?
• 29:15
  Because you know, it allows you to to make your voices heard,
• 29:20
  right? And everyone is just pointing
• 29:22
  out, you know the scam that is that Fiat money.
• 29:25
  But most importantly, it's Elon Musk.
• 29:27
  Elon Musk has a massive following. 158 million people
• 29:33
  follow him. This tweet got a tremendous
• 29:35
  amount of engagement. So going back to the concept of
• 29:39
  the Overton window, this is how it shifts.
• 29:42
  This is how using Bitcoin and non government issued money goes
• 29:48
  from unthinkable to radical to acceptable to sensible.
• 29:53
  This is how the idea of Fiat money it goes from unthinkable
• 29:58
  or sorry policy. Popular.
• 30:00
  Sensible, acceptable, radical, right.
• 30:02
  This is how it happens, slowly but surely, right?
• 30:06
  Cuz this meme is is like it's a very straight up question.
• 30:08
  What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even
• 30:12
  realize it's a scam anymore? And why is it a scam?
• 30:15
  Because the government could just print more of it.
• 30:18
  It's a hidden tax that affects the lower and middle classes the
• 30:23
  most because they don't have the means to save in assets.
• 30:26
  It makes life unaffordable. Now what's really interesting
• 30:30
  about this is that according to Bitcoin treasuries, Tesla holds
• 30:37
  9720 Bitcoin, followed by marathon that's holding 11,000
• 30:44
  Bitcoin, followed by micro strategy that holds 158,000
• 30:48
  Bitcoin. So Elon's, you know, Elon's
• 30:53
  company, I know he's sold some for sure, but they're still
• 30:56
  holding a a nice chunk of a nice chunk of of of Bitcoin.
• 31:00
  Now moving on to the other topic that I want to talk about and
• 31:06
  this is I I just want to talk about, you know, to be specific,
• 31:08
  I want to talk about freedom of speech in in the US for the sake
• 31:12
  of this episode. So Elon Musk says if we lose
• 31:15
  freedom of speech, it's never coming back.
• 31:19
  Now why is he talking about this where there's some some kind of
• 31:21
  like scary things that we saw over the weekend?
• 31:23
  This is Vivek Rajma Swami. He's, I know he's a, he's a fan
• 31:27
  of Bitcoin. But he posted this clip of
• 31:30
  President Biden being interviewed and it just kind of
• 31:35
  blows my mind. Let's see, let's see what the
• 31:37
  clip has to say, what Elon Musk has done to Twitter lowering
• 31:41
  guardrails against misinformation.
• 31:42
  Does that contribute to it? Yeah, it does.
• 31:45
  Look. One of the things.
• 31:47
  As I said to you, when I thought I wasn't going to run, I was
• 31:49
  going to write a book about the changes taking place.
• 31:52
  And most of. US directed over the years with
• 31:55
  these fundamental changes in society by changing technology.
• 31:59
  Gutenberg. Printing and the printing press
• 32:01
  change the way Europeans could talk to one another all the way
• 32:04
  to the day. Where Where do?
• 32:07
  Get their news they, they, they you know they go.
• 32:11
  On the Internet they they, they they they go.
• 32:13
  Online they go. And you have no notion whether
• 32:18
  it's true. Or not?
• 32:19
  What about what Elon Musk has done?
• 32:23
  So and then let's move on to right.
• 32:26
  So it's crazy. You know even the US with First
• 32:29
  Amendment protection, right. the US the president is basically
• 32:32
  saying like it is absolutely nuts that you know Elon Musk is
• 32:35
  taking over Twitter and he's allowing speech you know that we
• 32:38
  don't agree with the government. But this isn't only just
• 32:41
  happening in you know in the US has also happened in Canada
• 32:45
  recently. Canadian government armed with
• 32:47
  one of the world's most repressive online censorship
• 32:49
  scheme announces that all online streaming services that offer
• 32:52
  podcasts must formally register with the government to permit
• 32:56
  regulatory controls. Right.
• 32:57
  So that they're censoring podcast.
• 33:00
  Now why is all this happening? Right.
• 33:02
  Put all the politics aside and you know, cuz I I don't think
• 33:06
  any of that is important. What I what I what I do believe
• 33:10
  is that we have to identify what the root causes.
• 33:14
  And here's this very good tweet from Jeff Booth and it's a
• 33:18
  response to a tweet from Elon Musk that said how did most of
• 33:22
  the legacy media go from superheroes of freedom of free
• 33:24
  speech to super villains of speech suppression?
• 33:28
  And I think this only not only applies to legacy media, I think
• 33:30
  it just applies to everything. And Jeff Boo says because broken
• 33:34
  money ensures that the centralization of power by
• 33:36
  stealing the productivity through inflation that should
• 33:38
  flow to the society in the form of lower prices, then those
• 33:41
  enriched by that theft and subsequent power must control
• 33:44
  the messaging to keep it. It's a very, very, very powerful
• 33:47
  statement. So, yeah, what do you guys
• 33:51
  think? Am I seeing things that are not
• 33:53
  there? I I think the Overton window is
• 33:56
  slowly starting to shift in terms of the public's perception
• 33:59
  of Fiat money. I think that's becoming
• 34:03
  apparent. You know, we've been covering
• 34:05
  this for quite a while. You have more and more
• 34:08
  mainstream podcasters and producers talking about the scam
• 34:12
  of Fiat money, talking about Bitcoin.
• 34:15
  I think it's just a matter of time before the dam breaks.
• 34:18
  Maybe I'm seeing something that's not there.
• 34:20
  Opti, what's your take? Yeah, well.
• 34:22
  I'd agree with you. I've been saying for a while
• 34:24
  that I think the Overton window is shifting and I think Bitcoin
• 34:29
  has crossed, as I've been calling it the Rubicon into
• 34:32
  mainstream consciousness. And and we've been constantly
• 34:34
  showing that a lot of Bitcoin talking points have been coming
• 34:37
  up in Normie podcast, whether it's like Elon Musk or Joe Rogan
• 34:40
  and stuff. And it kind of goes back to what
• 34:42
  we always say like. I think a lot of people that are
• 34:44
  awake and are noticing what's going on in the world, they know
• 34:48
  what the problem is, but they usually have like a political
• 34:50
  solution or, you know, political solution.
• 34:53
  And so it doesn't really actually fix the problem.
• 34:55
  They're like, oh, we just need to vote someone in correctly and
• 34:58
  they'll fix this. Or like even we saw RFK come out
• 35:00
  over the weekend about like. I don't know something about
• 35:04
  mortgage rates and how, like printing more money is going to
• 35:06
  fix it or something. So it's like they always double
• 35:08
  down on the same idea. It's like, hey, if we print this
• 35:12
  money, we will allocate it better.
• 35:14
  And the fundamental problem that we always say is the printing of
• 35:17
  money is why we are our poorer. This is why we are seeing all
• 35:20
  this crazy stuff happen. And then on the Elon, Elon
• 35:23
  point, you know? Say what you want about Elon
• 35:26
  Musk and everyone always trolls me like why is off you always
• 35:28
  say say what you want is because it's like you can ask yourself
• 35:31
  the question, is Musk playing 40 chess?
• 35:33
  Is he just trolling? Do we have to trust Elon?
• 35:36
  Like should we even care? And I think all these questions
• 35:39
  are besides the point. Personally, he's talking about
• 35:42
  Bitcoin. Talking points like Fiat is a
• 35:43
  scam. And how many followers does he
• 35:45
  have? Like millions of followers on
• 35:47
  Twitter. He literally owns Twitter.
• 35:49
  He, at least publicly, is advocating for freedom of
• 35:52
  speech. Yes, maybe he is controlled
• 35:53
  opposition, but he's still incepting the ideas that
• 35:56
  inflation is, that that feel is trash.
• 35:59
  Whether people know this or not. I think it's one of those things
• 36:02
  of just like, slowly but surely, like, you know, step by step
• 36:07
  moving the Overton window. It's like back to the frogs and
• 36:10
  boiling water meme. And so I don't know like.
• 36:14
  Being a little bit of generous, and I know, like, Elaine's going
• 36:17
  to troll me in the chads, like he's controlled opposition.
• 36:19
  I know, I know, I know. I I understand this.
• 36:21
  But I also kind of think like, if you understand how power
• 36:26
  works. And yeah, Elon Musk on paper is
• 36:28
  the richest man in the world. And he's probably looking out at
• 36:31
  the landscape and he's like. I have just as much influence as
• 36:34
  anyone on the planet right now. And if you slowly but surely
• 36:38
  move the Overton window and you get people on your side, then
• 36:41
  like, what's he have to lose? He can literally topple whoever
• 36:45
  his enemies are. And so this is how you move the
• 36:47
  Overton window is like, I've been having these conversations
• 36:50
  with my buddy Joe Rogers all the time.
• 36:51
  He's over at the Print Bitcoin Magazine.
• 36:54
  He's, I think he's editor or I don't know.
• 36:56
  He basically puts the magazine together and we constantly have
• 36:59
  this conversation where. On the one hand, we want to beat
• 37:02
  people over the head with the truth and be like this is what's
• 37:05
  going on. Metaphor, of course,
• 37:07
  metaphorically. Yeah, of course.
• 37:08
  It's like, it's like being brash and and basically like forcing
• 37:11
  people to see the truth and like, you know, the Happy
• 37:14
  Gilmore or that have Billy Madison like stay in school, you
• 37:17
  know, we all want to do that, like shake people up.
• 37:20
  And I keep telling him that like, yeah, there's a time and a
• 37:22
  place for that type of conversation.
• 37:24
  But also a lot of the times you got to literally hold people's
• 37:28
  hands and you got to like very slowly move them.
• 37:31
  Over towards the way that you you see the world and I I kind
• 37:34
  of being generous again being generous see that must might be
• 37:38
  doing this. I I really do believe that at
• 37:41
  least in some sense. He believes what he's saying
• 37:44
  whether he's a good guy or bad guy.
• 37:46
  I think it's besides the point because he's talking about what
• 37:48
  we've been talking about and I've been seeing it everywhere.
• 37:52
  Everyone is talking about inflation.
• 37:53
  Everyone is talking about Fiat being a scam.
• 37:56
  And slowly but surely, we're going to get to a point where
• 37:58
  everyone starts to talk about Bitcoin being that solution.
• 38:00
  And once we get to that point, like it's really going to be a
• 38:04
  gradually then suddenly moment. And again guys like I know we
• 38:09
  say it all the time that just talking about it isn't enough.
• 38:13
  But I don't think it's necessarily, you know, Elon's
• 38:16
  job to just go out and be like Bitcoin only and be like, you
• 38:20
  know, download Bitcoin wallets and take your Bitcoin off in
• 38:22
  exchange. Like that's why we're here.
• 38:23
  This is why you guys are out there doing your job.
• 38:25
  It's kind of about incepting these ideas, getting more people
• 38:29
  to ask the fundamental question of what is money?
• 38:32
  What is this money I'm using? Is what?
• 38:33
  What? What even is Fiat?
• 38:35
  Why? Why is he talking about an
• 38:36
  Italian car? Like what is going on here and
• 38:38
  and incepting these ideas and talking about this stuff whether
• 38:42
  it is on? On mainstream or on Twitter or
• 38:44
  in these conversations, I think this is how we slowly but surely
• 38:48
  start to get people on our side. And again I I keep getting
• 38:52
  reminded of the Kelly's article, don't drink the elites kool-aid.
• 38:56
  And the fight we're seeing is a battle of free speech.
• 38:59
  This is, this is what all of the contentions going on.
• 39:02
  You know, we're seeing the Biden administration, or rather, most
• 39:06
  actually, as we've been showing on this, on this show.
• 39:09
  All first world governments fighting speech like it's
• 39:11
  literally Orwellian. And they are losing the control
• 39:15
  of truth. They are losing the narratives.
• 39:18
  And so they are doubling down and scrambling to control that
• 39:21
  truth. Because if they can control what
• 39:23
  people believed and they can control reality, and if they can
• 39:26
  control, quote UN quote reality, then they can control people's
• 39:28
  behaviors. And we know what clause Schwab's
• 39:31
  been talking about. We know who his puppets are.
• 39:33
  We know what they want to do. They want to control the
• 39:35
  narrative around the the normie mind so that they.
• 39:39
  Completely caught up in the bread and circuses and we're
• 39:42
  seeing people calling their bluff.
• 39:45
  Whether it's a troll, you know, like whether Elon just having
• 39:48
  fun trolling right now. I think it's kind of besides the
• 39:51
  point he's talking about the stuff that we're talking about
• 39:54
  and the fact that more people are asking a very simple
• 39:57
  question like what is inflation? What is money?
• 40:00
  Why am I getting poorer? Like what is Fiat?
• 40:03
  I think it just goes to show that we are winning and the
• 40:05
  Bitcoin narrative is is just slowly but surely getting into
• 40:09
  the mainstream consciousness And obviously I would love to see it
• 40:12
  go faster. But I also understand how humans
• 40:15
  work and and they're very thick thick gold and and they don't
• 40:18
  like to learn new things and so slowly but surely you just got
• 40:21
  to hold their hand and push them towards the the general
• 40:24
  direction and call their bluff. And on that note, This is why we
• 40:28
  say all the time it's not enough to just talk about the problems,
• 40:31
  it's about getting the solutions in people's hands.
• 40:34
  And that means downloading Bitcoin wallets, that is using
• 40:36
  the Noster, freedom of speech platform.
• 40:38
  You know, encrypted messaging, Whatever you think is the best
• 40:41
  way to fight this stuff is how we win is by getting more people
• 40:45
  to do what we think is the best practices.
• 40:48
  Taking Bitcoin into self custody.
• 40:50
  Running notes, using Noster. Using encrypted messaging.
• 40:55
  Like having these conversations in real time so people aren't
• 40:58
  afraid of having the conversation because like this
• 41:01
  is where we are. People are afraid of talking
• 41:03
  about the truth because they know that the truth is dangerous
• 41:07
  to the establishment. And here we are.
• 41:10
  We know what is going on. I'm very convinced that
• 41:13
  bitcoiners have the answers. And as we've seen over the
• 41:16
  weekend, you know the price of Bitcoin starting to pump.
• 41:18
  So hey, as the price goes up and bitcoiners are right, then we
• 41:22
  have more resources to do what we want to do and spread the
• 41:25
  truth and build the things that will literally save humanity
• 41:29
  from ending up in a digital dystopian, Orwellian future.
• 41:32
  And this is what I'm here for. We're winning.
• 41:34
  This is all I can keep saying. We're winning our narrative.
• 41:37
  It's constantly going up because we have the truth and more
• 41:40
  people are waking up to the scam that is the modern world.
• 41:43
  Anyways, I I think I ranted another Zaya Zia.
• 41:47
  What's your thoughts on this? I see.
• 41:49
  So there's this thing about freedom of speech.
• 41:52
  It works in a way that, like freedom of speech, is one of
• 41:57
  those. Components that is very
• 42:01
  important for like liberty for for for freedom.
• 42:06
  So it's it's literally in the in the title and in the dichotomy,
• 42:11
  the dilemma between like freedom and security.
• 42:14
  We we you've got something if you give it up, if you give up
• 42:17
  something or even if you see some, what do you call them like
• 42:22
  special circumstances they call it actually it's it's very
• 42:26
  common here. In Iran that they call it,
• 42:28
  there's a special circumstances like this is this is similar to
• 42:32
  what we've had like in the next like in the past few years that
• 42:37
  happened globally. So we've got some special
• 42:42
  circumstances that the we're going to use some tools, we're
• 42:46
  going to use some practices or procedures like the government,
• 42:50
  I mean by you the government does something that.
• 42:57
  Introduces new things and makes people accept them.
• 43:00
  And if this stays on, it's going to be well, well, it's it's not
• 43:07
  going to be very good for your your your freedom side of things
• 43:13
  and it's going to stay. So let's take this this example
• 43:17
  I've I've heard a few weeks ago on a podcast.
• 43:22
  They were talking about barbed wire.
• 43:24
  So it was like this is something for the trenches in the World
• 43:28
  War One I guess so this was not anything.
• 43:32
  So there was nothing similar to barbed wire in the course of
• 43:37
  history. So, and they made it for the
• 43:40
  trenches, but nowadays you see it on.
• 43:44
  A lot of buildings that need security, that needs actually
• 43:48
  they say they need security or surveillance or anything.
• 43:53
  And we. See it a lot on everywhere,
• 43:56
  actually. There's there's a lot of barbed
• 43:59
  wire in a lot of places. So how did this come to be
• 44:05
  something from war, Something designed to actually?
• 44:11
  Annihilate people so used to be now used in societies, and this
• 44:17
  is very similar to what happens in the digital domain and with
• 44:23
  the freedom speech like they and the surveillance tools and the
• 44:29
  tendency for people to accept them actually, even if they're
• 44:35
  not accepting them. What happens is that, like there
• 44:41
  comes some special circumstances or some very uncertain times
• 44:46
  that, OK, people, just let's just accept that we're going to
• 44:50
  do this inhumane things temporarily.
• 44:53
  But but but it catches on. It stays on.
• 44:56
  You cannot take the power outside of the wielder wielder
• 45:02
  of that power. The the, the thing that Nico
• 45:06
  said with the, I think it was about Canada and there I don't
• 45:10
  know, registering podcasts and platforms and stuff like that.
• 45:14
  So actually we had this here and you're on too.
• 45:16
  And it was like it's not actually about podcast.
• 45:20
  Every person who wants to use some local app.
• 45:24
  Local I mean something a home proved app, a social media or a
• 45:31
  messenger or anything like that. They it was a time that they
• 45:37
  suggest. I don't know if they do it or
• 45:38
  not because nobody actually uses those apps, but they actually
• 45:45
  wanted people to register, register their, I don't know, ID
• 45:49
  card numbers and do some kind of KYC to just use a username on a
• 45:56
  social media app. So.
• 45:59
  So it is. It was very silly here when
• 46:02
  we've heard about it. I can't imagine how the
• 46:06
  Canadians feel about something like that being introduced in
• 46:10
  their, I don't know, law or anything.
• 46:12
  So this is this very, very interesting stuff happening.
• 46:15
  And if we consider them not always with regard to this, what
• 46:22
  they call them, these uncertain circumstances, and I don't know
• 46:25
  Special Situations that. They want to introduce these new
• 46:29
  things that limit our freedom of speech if if they're not
• 46:33
  happening like that. So that means somehow we're
• 46:36
  somehow like giving up. Are we giving up that they take
• 46:40
  it easy on doing doing it like this?
• 46:42
  I don't know. What Opti says is like, very,
• 46:45
  very important here. I mean, he says that I don't
• 46:50
  know, encrypted messaging. Use anything that helps your
• 46:55
  privacy, you're going to need it.
• 46:57
  In the future, it better to learn now you're going to need
• 47:01
  it. 100% I I completely agree with with with your statements
• 47:07
  man and and you know it's it's very scary that you know this is
• 47:12
  happening in Canada the way it is and there's some awesome you
• 47:15
  know bitcoiners in Canada and they have some awesome Bitcoin
• 47:18
  podcast you know and the government wants to get involved
• 47:21
  you know how long until and remind you by the way these are
• 47:24
  the same governments that are saying.
• 47:27
  Trust us with central bank digital currencies if they can't
• 47:30
  even trust you with speech. What makes you?
• 47:34
  Think they're going to trust you with money, right?
• 47:36
  Like it. It is.
• 47:38
  It is ludicrous, right? This is why Bitcoin is
• 47:41
  important. This is why the Internet is
• 47:42
  important. This is why running your own
• 47:43
  note is important. The start nine is awesome.
• 47:46
  It's like it's like a personal server at home.
• 47:48
  Like you could have all these apps and do you know
• 47:51
  peer-to-peer messaging like it's badass?
• 47:55
  You know, This is why. You know taking back your
• 47:58
  sovereignty using the Internet, using the tools that the
• 48:01
  Internet enables you to use, is so important in maintaining your
• 48:07
  freedoms regardless of where you are in the world.
• 48:10
  So the fight for free speech is the frontline for the battle for
• 48:16
  for the fight for Bitcoin, we lose the fight for free speech.
• 48:19
  We will lose a fight for Bitcoin because.
• 48:23
  But yeah, you could use money that we can't censor control.
• 48:26
  Yeah, you could use that. But you can't have certain
• 48:29
  thoughts like, you know, thinking that is just, you know,
• 48:32
  it's absolutely absurd. So that's why we talk about
• 48:35
  this. We always talk about this crazy,
• 48:37
  crazy moment in time many ways guys, before we move on to the
• 48:41

  Visit swanbitcoin.com today. All right, I am excited for this
• 50:00
  one guys. So Zia kind of gave you a TLDR
• 50:05
  on who he is in the beginning of the show.
• 50:07
  And personally, I am honored to have you on the show.
• 50:10
  I've. I've told you this behind the
• 50:11
  scenes as well, Guys, if you don't know Zia's story, he's
• 50:16
  literally a freedom fighter in the flesh.
• 50:18
  You you came across my radar. I think it was a year ago when
• 50:21
  you got arrested for literally being a freedom fighter for
• 50:25
  speaking truth to power. So absolute kudos to you.
• 50:28
  But that's not what we're here to talk about.
• 50:30
  We want to talk about how, and you touched on it earlier, how
• 50:34
  Bitcoin is being perceived right now in Iran and and what you see
• 50:39
  on the ground right now. So what's the opinion of people
• 50:42
  over there in regards to Bitcoin and what's your takes on this?
• 50:48
  Yeah, so this is what actually this is the main thing that
• 50:52
  people want to know about Iran with regard to Bitcoin.
• 50:56
  So but it's how does it? Happened there.
• 51:00
  So how is it going on with Bitcoin here?
• 51:04
  It's like there's a lot of parts and there's a lot of aspects to
• 51:09
  this thing so to talk about this topic but the main thing is that
• 51:17
  you have been you had a glimpse of what happens in places like
• 51:22
  you're on. I guess not only you're on,
• 51:24
  maybe coup of. Or maybe also is a bit different
• 51:31
  because of the legal tender thing and stuff.
• 51:34
  So you could you could imagine what what happens in your own
• 51:42
  communities but more but bigger but in in more rapid numbers
• 51:49
  with more actually people grasping the.
• 51:57
  What do you call? It's like the advantage of
• 52:01
  having such a thing as Bitcoin in the world, so you could, you
• 52:06
  could just look at your own community if this quicker, like
• 52:14
  10 times what would happen? This is what's happening in Iran
• 52:17
  and I guess in other countries which are undergoing similar
• 52:22
  situations, like the inflation situation in your own.
• 52:25
  So the the, the one of the main things that that we could start
• 52:31
  this talking about this thing is that the inflation situation.
• 52:35
  So it's like it's crazy it's it's it's crazy.
• 52:39
  So I I don't have for for the lack of the better world.
• 52:42
  We just just call it crazy because it's like you could.
• 52:47
  Just buy this phone or something for, let's say, a month's work.
• 52:56
  Of a salary of one month work for your month, and in few
• 53:02
  months, not even years, it may take you like six months of
• 53:06
  income to just buy the phone. So this could just happen in a
• 53:10
  very short period of time. And it's like killing people,
• 53:15
  it's crushing them. So it's very, very difficult for
• 53:19
  people to just overcome the situation here.
• 53:23
  With the inflation state situation, so it's and the
• 53:27
  inflation situation is due to a lot of stuff that you may have
• 53:31
  seen or read on the news about your own.
• 53:33
  So there's a lot of stuff going on which we will not be going
• 53:37
  into. It's it's a lot of, there's a
• 53:40
  lot of details and there's a lot of, but the inflation have made
• 53:48
  the lives of people very difficult here and and people.
• 53:52
  Want to grab hold of anything that could help them fight the
• 53:56
  inflation, that could ease the impact inflation on them.
• 54:00
  So whatever. If they could, if they have
• 54:04
  enough money to buy a car, they're going to buy a car.
• 54:07
  A car is not a tool here. It's not a it's not actually a
• 54:11
  vehicle. So it's more like an investment.
• 54:15
  It's something which is very liquid.
• 54:19
  You could just. It's it's very, it's very easy
• 54:25
  to buy and sell a car here. So a lot of people see it as an
• 54:30
  investment, something to put their money into and expect not
• 54:34
  to lose value. But we know actually cars are
• 54:39
  not meant to do that. But it's very odd it happened.
• 54:43
  It is like this here in Iran, so a lot of people just tag their
• 54:48
  money in cars. And there is people who buy
• 54:52
  land, gold, USD actually cash USD cash is the whole this year.
• 55:00
  And this is the tendency, the general tendency of people to
• 55:04
  how to on how to deal with their money.
• 55:07
  And there's a number of people and it's not a small number
• 55:13
  actually. So we're going to talk about
• 55:15
  this later on, so we could just discuss it.
• 55:19
  So how does this number look, actually?
• 55:22
  But there's a lot of people who, so due to the accessibility of,
• 55:28
  let's use the word, digital assets or cryptocurrency right
• 55:31
  now, because they see it like this, they don't think about
• 55:35
  Bitcoin. Maybe they don't think about
• 55:37
  Bitcoin in the first step, but they see this.
• 55:40
  Thing that is called cryptocurrency in the like, I
• 55:44
  don't know, anywhere on social media, on Instagram, anywhere,
• 55:49
  even maybe in London news or on some newspapers, they see this
• 55:55
  cryptocurrency thing and see, so how is it that a lot of people
• 56:00
  around me talk about it and they see that it's very easy to buy
• 56:05
  them? And they are very accessible and
• 56:08
  they are another asset that you could buy and get rid of the
• 56:12
  local currency. So this is the what we call the,
• 56:16
  what was it, it was yours, Gresham's Law, I don't remember
• 56:21
  the name. So that is like the the bad
• 56:24
  money is in very rapid circulation and people just want
• 56:29
  to get rid of, get rid of it and.
• 56:33
  They just go and buy anything that may actually excel in
• 56:39
  keeping their own, their value. And this goes on to this
• 56:46
  cryptocurrency space thing that actually is led by Bitcoin.
• 56:50
  It actually have been introduced by Bitcoin even in your own
• 56:54
  everywhere and little by little people figure out that they
• 57:00
  could. They trade it or do some trading
• 57:04
  and shit like that and they they just harm their own.
• 57:09
  So they they make their own situation even worse.
• 57:12
  Some some of them do that because there's no because they
• 57:15
  have this. They have been putting up with
• 57:18
  all of this difficult time and with the all of this, actually,
• 57:26
  this, this. This difficult situation of
• 57:30
  dealing keeping the value of their money and they have been
• 57:36
  growing, There's been a growing trend of poverty and increasing
• 57:42
  trend that more and more people are becoming poorer and poorer
• 57:46
  every day here and they just want to somehow get rich quick
• 57:52
  and anyone or anything that promises this to them.
• 57:56
  It may become, it may be very attractive to them, so they may
• 58:00
  be attracted to this get rich quick scheme that the
• 58:05
  cryptocurrency actually promises to them, but they soon find out
• 58:11
  that this doesn't happen and we see and now we get to Bitcoin,
• 58:16
  we see an ever increasing Bitcoin aware.
• 58:22
  And inflation aware and more actually financially grown up
• 58:28
  people who are accepting Bitcoin and as a very very good asset to
• 58:37
  be holding their their wealth into.
• 58:42
  And this trend is happening and this is the only thing that I
• 58:46
  guess is. Shows that that is very
• 58:50
  important actually to talk about to see how the people on their
• 58:55
  very severe inflation stricken situations and economies may go
• 59:05
  undergo a bit a tough process, not a very easy to just try to
• 59:15
  come to their own senses and. Remember that there's no such
• 59:21
  thing as getting rich quick with these promises of I don't know
• 59:27
  check coins and stuff like that and and actually anything.
• 59:32
  So there's a there's a very big trend of like scams, not even
• 59:37
  not not only crypto scams anything scams here in Iran that
• 59:43
  that is actually dependent on how people.
• 59:48
  See, they the financial, their financial status and their
• 59:53
  financial situation. They see that they are getting
• 59:56
  poorer and they won't just just get out of the situation.
• 1:00:00
  And they are very greedy in that regard and the scammers depend
• 1:00:07
  on that. And there's tons of people
• 1:00:11
  getting scammed every day in any way you could imagine.
• 1:00:16
  And cryptos are another one of these scams, so and people, but
• 1:00:22
  just people. When they encounter this thing,
• 1:00:25
  they get wiser and they know that this does not happen that
• 1:00:31
  fast and it is not a very easy solution.
• 1:00:36
  Even Bitcoin may not be a very good and easy solution.
• 1:00:39
  It's a bit of a tough one for most people who are not very
• 1:00:43
  well or familiar with it. But we're getting there where
• 1:00:47
  we're teaching people. We're trying to let people know
• 1:00:50
  how to use it, how to store it and what are the things that
• 1:00:55
  make it important. So yeah, this turn is very, very
• 1:00:59
  promising. I like it.
• 1:01:01
  So I didn't like this thing. And what I've saw in Iran like
• 1:01:06
  let's say two or three years ago, because there was a, there
• 1:01:09
  was a lot of, a lot of actually interest in check coins and
• 1:01:14
  cryptos and scams and all of that.
• 1:01:18
  And I was like maybe getting starting to lose hope a bit.
• 1:01:23
  But I saw that okay, people are now coming to their senses
• 1:01:28
  because they don't understand a bit whoopsie.
• 1:01:30
  I even see very, very. Trendy and TikTok style
• 1:01:39
  influencers in Iran who are talking about get Bitcoin in a
• 1:01:43
  very, very correct way and I'm really surprised.
• 1:01:49
  So how is it that this guy or this girl on TikTok who doesn't
• 1:01:53
  know anything actually about Bitcoin is saying the correct
• 1:01:58
  words about Bitcoin? It's like they have undergone an
• 1:02:01
  experience. They have actually felt that,
• 1:02:05
  experienced it and saw what it means to the separation between
• 1:02:11
  Bitcoin and offcoins here. And so this was the general
• 1:02:19
  thing about like the growing trend of a lot of people crypto,
• 1:02:26
  but a number of them, which is increasingly going up
• 1:02:32
  understanding Bitcoin and yeah, being attracted by it.
• 1:02:37
  Wow Zia. Well love to hear it.
• 1:02:38
  And first and foremost, I do have one last question I saw in
• 1:02:41
  the chat. You covered most of them.
• 1:02:43
  It was. I just kind of have a comment.
• 1:02:46
  This is why shit coins are so nefarious in the 1st place is.
• 1:02:50
  For the people that really need Bitcoin, they get caught up in
• 1:02:53
  the crypto scams and then you know they lose their life
• 1:02:55
  savings. Like that's the whole point of
• 1:02:57
  Bitcoin is to have this safety net to opt out of inflation.
• 1:03:00
  And then the second point is what we talk about here all the
• 1:03:02
  time on the show and and we love bringing on these these real
• 1:03:06
  life examples of people in countries with.
• 1:03:10
  Crazy inflation rates. I I was looking it up while you
• 1:03:12
  were talking. You guys had what, 50% inflation
• 1:03:14
  last year. I think you guys are at like 39
• 1:03:16
  currently. Like it's absolutely insane.
• 1:03:19
  But it just goes to show that once people do feel that pain,
• 1:03:22
  they will look for alternatives, they will look for hard assets
• 1:03:25
  and you know, they will jump eventually into Bitcoin.
• 1:03:28
  Obviously. It's kind of like that moving of
• 1:03:30
  the Overton window where they got to, you know, get exposed to
• 1:03:34
  the whole Bitcoin narrative in general.
• 1:03:36
  And then the last question is, we had a question here.
• 1:03:40
  About the on ramps, the often on ramps in Iran, so maybe touch on
• 1:03:45
  that real quick and then and then we'll move into the meme
• 1:03:48
  review. So what's it like to get Bitcoin
• 1:03:50
  in Iran right now? Is it you said it's kind of
• 1:03:52
  difficult. Is there businesses, You know?
• 1:03:55
  It seems like people are exposed to the Bitcoin signal, but we're
• 1:04:00
  wondering how easy is it to transact in Bitcoin there?
• 1:04:04
  That's a very, very good question because actually I just
• 1:04:08
  hinted on it. So I said a big number.
• 1:04:11
  So The thing is that there was this guy from one of these like
• 1:04:16
  cryptocurrency exchanges local here in your own.
• 1:04:20
  They just look like just other cryptocurrency exchanges.
• 1:04:23
  They are what they call them, trading platforms, something
• 1:04:26
  like that. So people just go there on these
• 1:04:30
  exchanges and buy Bitcoin and stuff.
• 1:04:32
  So there was this guy, this, I don't know who was the owner of
• 1:04:36
  the business or the CEO or anything.
• 1:04:39
  He said that based on their estimations, there may be or
• 1:04:44
  there is actually something about like 10 million users bit
• 1:04:49
  cryptocurrency. So they say cryptocurrency
• 1:04:51
  users, 10 million cryptocurrency users, this is like country with
• 1:04:55
  80 + 1,000,000 populations. So just look at the number.
• 1:05:01
  So and that's number very big. So, and I've seen that number
• 1:05:07
  may not be that far off from truth because I've seen a lot of
• 1:05:12
  exchanges that say I've seen the reports.
• 1:05:16
  I have some of the reports actually here I've been reading
• 1:05:19
  the reports and they say like we've got two or three million
• 1:05:23
  users active in our website. So it's like there's many
• 1:05:29
  websites and this is one of the websites that says we've got 2
• 1:05:33
  to 3 million users. So that's a very big number
• 1:05:36
  actually for that's about like 10% of the population of the
• 1:05:43
  whole country. And I just explained that this
• 1:05:50
  population is actually are looking for an asset to save
• 1:05:55
  their money into mostly rather than trade it.
• 1:05:59
  The trading part may be a confusion for them or it may
• 1:06:02
  take them the time to get rid of that behavior.
• 1:06:07
  But it's like the main concern is saving because the main
• 1:06:12
  concern and everybody's main concern is actually taking here
• 1:06:16
  in your own same with the world. So that's a very big number.
• 1:06:21
  And this number is mostly from what do they call exchanges or
• 1:06:26
  crypto trading platforms or something like that.
• 1:06:28
  There's like hundreds of them and 10s, maybe 10 or maybe 21 of
• 1:06:35
  them are very famous ones and a lot of people use them and these
• 1:06:41
  are the main method of acquiring Bitcoin and these are their
• 1:06:49
  ramps, the on ramps for the people here in Iran, most of the
• 1:06:53
  people. So it's not like everyone uses
• 1:06:55
  them. So there is there are mining
• 1:06:59
  activities being done in Iran and there's also OTC style
• 1:07:08
  traders who who you just you could just do ping them on
• 1:07:15
  Telegram and or in some telegram groups and places like that and
• 1:07:23
  just buy it come from them. So the on ramp experience but
• 1:07:27
  the on ramp experience for most of the Union people is like you
• 1:07:31
  go to this cryptocurrency exchange.
• 1:07:33
  So let's say it's a website just like, I don't know Swan or I
• 1:07:38
  don't know Coinbase or any other website you've seen already and
• 1:07:43
  you go there, you do a KYC and this is very bad actually.
• 1:07:48
  And with knowing that what happens here on and how the
• 1:07:54
  situation is with regard to freedom of speech and human
• 1:08:00
  rights and all that is if it's not on the good side giving you
• 1:08:06
  out your KYC is not that good of a thing.
• 1:08:09
  So in such situations it's not it's not of a good of a thing
• 1:08:13
  anywhere in the world, but it's maybe worse here.
• 1:08:18
  And doing KYC and then they could just it's actually after
• 1:08:23
  doing the KYC it's very, very easy.
• 1:08:25
  So you just just top up your balance using something like, I
• 1:08:32
  don't know what you call them wire transfer I guess in the US
• 1:08:36
  or the places to something like wire transfer or something like
• 1:08:42
  an online shopping payment gateway just top up your account
• 1:08:46
  and after that you could use, you could just buy Bitcoin, I
• 1:08:50
  don't know or anything and people do do that all the time.
• 1:08:57
  So it's very easy. It's very, very easy to buy it,
• 1:09:01
  but there's being there's a lot of KYC stuff and surveillance
• 1:09:07
  stuff happening which are not alarming for now, but I guess
• 1:09:13
  they will be alarming in the future.
• 1:09:15
  So we could just expect that these KYC data won't be.
• 1:09:22
  So we have a lot of actual KYC data leaks in here happening all
• 1:09:27
  the time due to this low security standards with digital
• 1:09:33
  with the digital realm actually so just banks and everywhere.
• 1:09:38
  So if this things if what happens in your own this this
• 1:09:42
  data leaks happens what happens in your own happens in the US
• 1:09:46
  there would be like tons of what it comes to court complaints and
• 1:09:53
  all that happening all the time in the US so this is happening
• 1:09:57
  all the time. So that's they may not be a wise
• 1:10:00
  move to give you give out your KYC data with regard to your
• 1:10:04
  Bitcoin, Bitcoin stack and all of that.
• 1:10:06
  So, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
• 1:10:10
  All right, Opti. Well, love to hear.
• 1:10:12
  It before we move on, Nika, I know we got to get to the memes,
• 1:10:14

• 1:12:09
  actually not yesterday Friday, that I had a dream about Chrissy
• 1:12:13
  Lagarde being a praying mantis and Claude Schwab being a locust
• 1:12:16
  and to send us some Chrissy Lagarde praying mantis memes.
• 1:12:19
  Well, I got a few here. First one is by at the Gray
• 1:12:23
  Cross and he goes, I got you guys Bitcoin Twitter.
• 1:12:26
  I present to you praying Mantis Lagarde and we got these AI
• 1:12:30
  generations of Christine Lagarde as a praying mantis.
• 1:12:33
  Actually a whole bunch of them. Some of these probably not PG13,
• 1:12:36
  but hey. Thank you bro.
• 1:12:38
  Appreciate it. Next one we got another one.
• 1:12:41
  This is by Blockchain minimalist aka at I under score D under
• 1:12:45
  score W under score and we got Christy Lagarde as a praying
• 1:12:49
  mantis battling. I don't even know what that is
• 1:12:53
  that. This, yeah, I am.
• 1:12:56
  I don't what is this an Ant? Locus thing.
• 1:12:59
  I don't even know. Anyways, Anyways, all right,
• 1:13:01
  there's next one. I'm pretty sure this is PG13
• 1:13:04
  ish. I was trying tagged by World of
• 1:13:07
  Rusty Shouts out to. I guess it's Bitcoin baddie, but
• 1:13:10
  this was posted by BTC Tams and we got a pretty blonde lady here
• 1:13:14
  with a low bust and it goes. Me and my Bitcoin.
• 1:13:17
  And it's got everyone around, Just scammers and hackers and
• 1:13:20
  whales and governments. They all watch your Bitcoin
• 1:13:23
  guys. Protect yourself.
• 1:13:25
  I don't know that one that should be actually.
• 1:13:27
  These are maybe all off the spectrum here.
• 1:13:30
  We got Mitchell hot and it goes October off to a good start.
• 1:13:34
  We got a Pepe the Frog. Here with a green candle.
• 1:13:37
  October guys, we are in October and then on that note we got
• 1:13:41
  other Berry aka at other Berry BTC and he goes, Bitcoin is
• 1:13:45
  pumping and it got plus 3%. We got an Ant here and it goes
• 1:13:49
  nice. What is this pump, a pump for
• 1:13:51
  ants. What is going on here now it
• 1:13:53
  feels good guys. I don't even know where the
• 1:13:54
  price is right now. I think we're still.
• 1:13:55
  Above 28 K anyways, the next one is the Bitcoin therapist shuts
• 1:14:00
  out. To the therapist, he goes, This
• 1:14:01
  is how we win hashtag BTC. And actually, this one's pretty
• 1:14:05
  fitting, considering what our guest was talking about in the
• 1:14:07
  culture and what we've been talking about in the news and
• 1:14:10
  the numbers shifting the Overton window, etc, etc.
• 1:14:13
  This is how we win. First, there is governmental
• 1:14:16
  overreach. Second, you question the money.
• 1:14:18
  Third, you start to study Bitcoin, 4th you adopt the
• 1:14:21
  superior money, which is Bitcoin.
• 1:14:23
  And then fifth, you continue to educate others and this just
• 1:14:26
  repeats. The cycle will just continuously
• 1:14:29
  repeat. Until we get.
• 1:14:31
  All of the 8 billion people on planet Earth to hold some
• 1:14:35
  Bitcoin. And this last one is by McShane,
• 1:14:37
  and I'm not going to go through this whole chart, but McShane
• 1:14:41
  writes codes, the Bitcoin history of supply, Shocktober
• 1:14:44
  and we have Bitcoin BTC historical monthly returns.
• 1:14:48
  And since we are all going to meme October, you know, right
• 1:14:52
  here at the very bottom we got October mean returns, mean
• 1:14:57
  ratios 22.99%. Periods, 8 out of 10 periods, I
• 1:15:03
  think that's what it's saying. And then the percentage of plus
• 1:15:06
  periods is 80%. October.
• 1:15:09
  Let's go October. Commences, as my boy Nick can't
• 1:15:12
  mind. Just said every day of October
• 1:15:15
  has been green, October's commencing.
• 1:15:17
  Very strong. Let's just hope we don't see
• 1:15:22
  another dip. Or maybe you want another dip.
• 1:15:24
  Maybe you haven't got to your stacking goals yet.
• 1:15:27

  Consider subscribing if you feel like we provided you value.
• 1:19:56
  But the number one thing you could do to push the peaceful
• 1:19:59
  Bitcoin revolution forward is share this content.
• 1:20:02
  In fact, share all Bitcoin content.
• 1:20:04
  Don't be exclusive. Be inclusive.
• 1:20:07
  Don't share. Share coin content.
• 1:20:08
  That's counterproductive. We love you all.
