Transcript
- 0:13Yeah. Welcome to Simply Bitcoin live
- 0:15your number one, source of the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution
- 0:18record, breaking news culture, dramatic Warfare, we will be
- 0:20your guide through the separation of money and say
- 0:22that's exactly what we're living through.
- 0:24Anyways, kind of a kind of big news, huge Forbes, expose on the
- 0:32situation that's going on and by Nance right.
- 0:36A lot of people got spooked. What happened with with with FTX
- 0:40also a Channel reputational damage and there's a massive
- 0:45amount of outflows lot of Bitcoin.
- 0:48Going out of by Nance. We're going to cover all of the
- 0:51details but the theme of this entire episode, right?
- 0:55It's going to be one single theme, right?
- 0:57Is stop trusting other people with your money whether that is
- 1:04Bitcoin, whether that is dollars, problem is like look
- 1:08with Fiat currencies, you know, Michael Sailors said this many
- 1:11times, right? He when he does his things.
- 1:12It's like if you store like it you can if you have a full
- 1:16battery at full power right and you put that in a cabinet over
- 1:21time, that battery bleeds out it bleeds out and think about cash
- 1:27or money in a bank, right? But let's say let's not put
- 1:31money in a bank because it does depend on the bank.
- 1:33Let's say you you take some cash and you put that cash and you
- 1:36buried in the ground right over time.
- 1:40That cash is going. Going to lose value, right?
- 1:44So think about what is something that if you buy that Bitcoin
- 1:51earn that Bitcoin mind that Bitcoin and you take that
- 1:54Bitcoin into self custody and you look back and you know you
- 1:59don't touch it or 10 or 20 years, right.
- 2:03The question that I have for you guys is is that Bitcoin going to
- 2:06maintain value that purchasing power is an increase in
- 2:10purchasing power and then Think about what other asset could do
- 2:14the same thing. Fiat currencies, absolutely not,
- 2:17they're designed to lose value. Okay?
- 2:20You can make the argument that gold could potentially do that,
- 2:24but is it going to hold? Purchasing power like Bitcoin.
- 2:30That's, that's a big question. And a number two is How feasible
- 2:36is it to get a bunch of gold bars and buried in the ground?
- 2:40Like especially if it's a large amount like gold is very, very
- 2:43heavy, right? Are you going to do that?
- 2:46The storage of that now, compare and contrast how easy it is to
- 2:50write down 12 or 24 words, right?
- 2:53And then you realize, That Bitcoin, there is nothing like
- 2:57Bitcoin and it let's let's sprinkle in the shit coins in
- 3:00here because I know there's going to be a lot of people that
- 3:02are that are new and be like, hey, you can write down, you
- 3:05know, a seed phrase, 444 crap coins, and you could kind of do
- 3:09something similar, but it's still dependent on another group
- 3:13of people. Like, if you're still dependent
- 3:14on developers to not hard for Kate, you're still depending on
- 3:17the developers to not blow the thing up and to not change the
- 3:20monetary policy to benefit themselves, and historically,
- 3:24that they've always done that. That like you can even make the
- 3:26case with etherium, etherium had a chain rollback aetherium
- 3:32migrated to proof of stake and now it's 60 to 70% of.
- 3:35The validators are actively centering for branch of the u.s.
- 3:38government. Why the devil is, why the
- 3:41etherium developers not talking about this?
- 3:43This is what Y is metallic. Not screaming off the rooftops
- 3:47of this because I think, I think it's a grift.
- 3:49I think, I think he cares about his own bags.
- 3:52Right? So that's what really makes
- 3:55Bitcoin you. Right.
- 3:56It Diageo says it, right? Gold is hard to secure, and
- 4:00that's what makes Bitcoin unique.
- 4:01Now, that being said, I want you guys to pay attention to that
- 4:06throughout this whole episode, because the news bit and the
- 4:11numbers bit exactly the same thing happened, don't get
- 4:16distracted by the specific circumstances, pay attention to
- 4:20the fundamental problem. The fundamental issue and it's
- 4:23the same one whether it's, by Nance whether its banks.
- 4:27And this problem is stop trusting other people with your
- 4:30money. That it's a very simple problem
- 4:32that That's the issue, that's the thing.
- 4:34If you stop doing that, if you take that personal
- 4:36responsibility into your own hands, we will change the world.
- 4:40Now if people take Bitcoin into self custody things change and
- 4:43there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.
- 4:45Anyways, Opti, how you doing this fine, Wednesday morning?
- 4:50Well, you know, Another Day in Paradise, another day doing the
- 4:55dream job, so, it's just, it's absolutely absolutely awesome to
- 4:58be had about, what do you want? It's, it's, you know, if, you
- 5:03know, You know, just, you know, you know, I've just being
- 5:06mysterious, you know, my friends know, my friends know what's
- 5:10going on with the hat, but hey, it's not Bitcoin company.
- 5:13But anyways, anyways, Nico Nico. Nico is diverting our attention
- 5:18away from the stories today. I think we're on the same.
- 5:22Think we're in sync again. As always, we don't even really
- 5:26prepare what we're going to say in the news or the culture.
- 5:29But we got a comment on a story. We don't prepare with Crispy for
- 5:32mean. I'm We don't we don't know we
- 5:34don't we yeah we don't coordinate.
- 5:36We don't we could coordinate. Sorry, forgive me Opti can't
- 5:39speak but we got a comment on our YouTube about self custody.
- 5:42So we're going to go into some Hardware signing devices.
- 5:47Good choices and options for self custody today.
- 5:49So again, why are you trusting people with their money?
- 5:53Don't do that anymore. Take your Bitcoin in the South
- 5:56custody and I'm going to cover some some of my favorite
- 5:58Hardware signing devices today. So that we get that signal out
- 6:02there. Awesome, dude.
- 6:04I'm really looking forward to this episode.
- 6:06It's going to be a rib. Anyways everybody, let's get to
- 6:08the news. The Bitcoin numbers brought to
- 6:13you by not all at this point. You should be running your own
- 6:16Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
- 6:18Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
- 6:21version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
- 6:24whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
- 6:28And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
- 6:31because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
- 6:34server. Visit nottle Dottie you today.
- 6:37All right, everybody, that's right.
- 6:38If you're not Running yellow node, you're trusting someone
- 6:41else's. That's that's the theme guys.
- 6:42Stop trusting other people what with copy of their blockchain
- 6:48stop. Trusting other people with the
- 6:50storage of your wealth, keyword there.
- 6:53Now that we have the technology where that doesn't need to
- 6:55happen anymore and you could do that, obviously, by taking
- 6:59Bitcoin itself, custody and by running or using your own copy
- 7:04of the blockchain. And you can do that by running
- 7:06your own node which is just a very fancy way of saying You're
- 7:09running your own Bitcoin software.
- 7:11You're not using someone else's the Bitcoin price at the time of
- 7:15recording is seventeen thousand three hundred and sixty-four of
- 7:18the SATs per dollar five thousand seven hundred fifty
- 7:21nine block height 770, 1467 reachable Bitcoin nodes 15,000
- 7:26192 blocks of The Happening 68,000 533 having estimate April
- 7:3224, 20/25 2024, total lightning. Network capacity 5,180, 7.2, To
- 7:39bitcoin capacity value around 90 million.
- 7:42U.s. dollars a realized monetary inflation 1.76 percent and the
- 7:47market capitalization of Bitcoin is a three hundred and thirty
- 7:50four billion dollars. Vidi vidi vidi.
- 7:53Nice. Anyways, guys.
- 7:55So I saw this video before I'm debating.
- 7:59Should I give you guys? Yeah, so I saw this video.
- 8:03I want to play it for you guys, and then we'll talk about it,
- 8:06then I'll give a little bit of some, some background context.
- 8:09But basically is it what it is. It's a man in Lebanon, trying to
- 8:13get his money out of the bank. Now pay attention to those
- 8:17words, trying to get his money out of the bank.
- 8:20Is it really his money? If he can't get, if he can't get
- 8:23it out, or is it the bank's money of which he has a claim
- 8:26to? And I think about how having
- 8:29your money on exchanges works, it's something very similar
- 8:32right, anyways, to check it out. So, you would think you would
- 9:08think you're like Eco, what are you doing?
- 9:10You're showing people shooting and trying to get into Banks.
- 9:14Like what does this have to do with anything?
- 9:17Put yourself in their shoes for a second, right?
- 9:20All the money that you've ever worked for you worked your ass
- 9:23off. You spent time and energy your
- 9:25family's future independent. Desperate situations call for
- 9:30desperate measures, right? I'm not trying to justify it but
- 9:33what I'm trying to say is this could all be avoided if people
- 9:37just took self custody of their wealth, right, a lot easier
- 9:40said, than done. Of course, let's take out the
- 9:42inflation rate of Lebanon as well.
- 9:44Right. It's sitting right now at a
- 9:46hundred and sixty-two percent, a hundred and around a hundred
- 9:50fifty two percent right now. And let's take a look at some.
- 9:53Let's take a look at the situation in Lebanon.
- 9:55So this is a an article by Al Jazeera.
- 9:57Well, as let quote, Lebanon has been Lebanon, Lebanese Banks to
- 10:00closed indefinitely as holdups. Continue.
- 10:03This was dated 7th, October, 22, 20, 22, and that video seems
- 10:07like it just came out recently. And it was goes on to say,
- 10:10Lebanese banks have decided to close their doors to clients and
- 10:13definitely to Bankers, have told Reuters.
- 10:15I made an unprecedented wave of hold UPS, by frustrated,
- 10:18depositors seeking access to their savings.
- 10:20I'm going to read that last part, right Lebanese Banks.
- 10:24I've decided to close their doors to close out to clients.
- 10:27Definitely, so you trusted me with your money.
- 10:32We're going to close a few. And remember this has happened
- 10:36in the United States to back in the 1930s.
- 10:38There was the infamous Bank ROMs and that actually led the
- 10:43government at the time. FDR to implement, the FDIC
- 10:46insurance, which was meant to drive up confidence, in an
- 10:50American's FDIC insurance. If you walk into an American
- 10:52Bank, there's a plaque. Always right, says ensure your
- 10:56deposits are Insured up to 250,000 dollars, right?
- 11:01And again, it's meant for confidence, right?
- 11:03So goes on to say the two sources told the agency and on
- 11:06Friday the banks would continue urgent operations for client and
- 11:10back office services for businesses, but front office
- 11:13services. Would remain suspended banks
- 11:16closed for a week for about a week last month in similar
- 11:18circumstances. But reopen at the beginning of
- 11:21October to allow employees to withdraw salaries in
- 11:23mid-september a young Lebanese woman.
- 11:26Sadly, Hafiz This was lauded as a national hero after forcing
- 11:30staff at abl Amo Bank branch in Beirut, to give her thousands of
- 11:34dollars from her own account by waving a replica Khan in order
- 11:38to fund her sisters cancer, treatment in the hospital.
- 11:45That is. You want to know why we're here?
- 11:50Like you don't want to know. Like, when we talk about Bitcoin
- 11:55Revolution, we talked about it, right?
- 11:57Like to talk about it. We show the memes you.
- 11:58Laugh and love, whatever. You want to know why we're here.
- 12:01That's why we're here. What I just said like that is
- 12:04why we're here. That's what we're fighting for.
- 12:07We're fighting to be able to save in a money that doesn't
- 12:10steal from us of which we have sole custody of And anybody that
- 12:16is against that is against what I just read.
- 12:19So when you hear Christine Lagarde when you hear the IMF,
- 12:22when you hear that schmuck, that went on The Joe Rogan podcast,
- 12:27Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. I'm going to read it again.
- 12:35In mid-september a young Lebanese.
- 12:37Woman, Sally, Hafeez, was lauded as a national hero after forcing
- 12:41staff at abl Mo Bank branch in Beirut, to give her thousands of
- 12:45dollars from her own account by waving a replica gun in order to
- 12:48fund her sisters cancer treatment.
- 12:51So she was pushed to such a desperate level that she had to
- 12:55do something drastic for the hope of saving her sister's
- 13:00life. like, that's why we're here.
- 13:06That's what Bitcoin is all about.
- 13:08That's what this revolution is all about.
- 13:10That's what self custody is all about.
- 13:12Why did this happen? Because unfortunately, a lot of
- 13:17people that have lived in the Fiat Matrix for the majority of
- 13:21their lives, they they have no alternative, they have no
- 13:25alternative, that is the alternative.
- 13:26The alternative is you have to use a bank in order to store
- 13:29your wealth, right? You're not going to be walking
- 13:31around with suitcases of cash, right?
- 13:34Right. And nowadays, if you're walking
- 13:35around with suitcases of cash and they find you, they steal
- 13:38it. And then they think that you're
- 13:40you're you're you're committing some type of crime, right?
- 13:43So this is why we're here, right?
- 13:45Those examples is why we're here and when you hear someone
- 13:49talking crap about Bitcoin and how Bitcoin is useless, how
- 13:52Bitcoin uses too much energy. There you go.
- 13:56There you go, send them that send them that and they won't
- 13:58have a response. They don't have an answer to
- 14:01you. Their answer to that type of
- 14:03problem, is that The IMF needs to get involved.
- 14:05Give them a bailout, give them a loan.
- 14:07We've been trying that for 50 years in the things keep
- 14:09happening. Maybe it's time to try something
- 14:12different. Maybe it's time to use a system
- 14:15that is decentralized, maybe it's time for individuals to
- 14:19take back the custody of their Pro of their money and stop
- 14:22relying on centralized institutions that for Central
- 14:26literally, dude, it's been a, it's been a century at this
- 14:29point at least, you know, in 1900s and 2000.
- 14:35Why does this keep happening? If this was a good system, this
- 14:39wouldn't happen. Right.
- 14:42So and then I know a lot of people are going to say in
- 14:44developed countries like hey, you know, like no, it's never
- 14:46going to happen in in the United States, it's never gonna happen.
- 14:49It's like you have Financial privilege, bro.
- 14:51You live in one of the you live in the minority of countries
- 14:54that has a stable Financial system and has a stable
- 14:57currency. But that isn't the case for the
- 14:59majority of the people on this planet.
- 15:01What about them? Talk about them.
- 15:05Because that Bitcoin there is not what Bitcoin is here in the
- 15:09west right Bitcoin. Here we see it, we're like a
- 15:12part of, you know, part of the Revolution, you know, say best
- 15:15taping technology because whatever it's like we've all
- 15:17heard those things before, right?
- 15:20You can make an argument, it's a luxury.
- 15:23But in the developing world is not a luxury, it is a way to
- 15:28live. It is a way to put food on the
- 15:30table and if anyone is against Bitcoin, that is what you're
- 15:34against. What are the example that I just
- 15:36read your against your vocally against Bitcoin?
- 15:40You are against that you are against this young lady's
- 15:46potentially an ability. To be able to save and pay for
- 15:53her sister's, you know, cancer treatment.
- 15:56Without fear of confiscation censorship debasement.
- 16:02So, not only, does she not have access to her Lebanese bank
- 16:05account? She also has to deal with 150
- 16:08percent inflation. You can't argue in good faith.
- 16:13That Bitcoin is not a better alternative to that system.
- 16:16You can't look at me in the face and make that argument.
- 16:20It's undefensible. You can't it doesn't make sense.
- 16:24The only way it makes sense is your concern is not actually
- 16:30people that live in Haifa. Inflationary environment, your
- 16:33concern is about keeping the establishment, keeping things,
- 16:39the way they are because it benefits you, that's your main
- 16:42concern, it's not so much the well-being of other people.
- 16:46Now, the beauty of Bitcoin is that the incentives are aligned
- 16:50by me saying this acting in my own self-interest, so is Opti we
- 16:56could all win. That's the beauty of Bitcoin.
- 17:00The incentives are aligned in the Fiat system.
- 17:04The incentives are misaligned. There's a few that benefit and
- 17:09everybody else. Figuratively gets caught holding
- 17:13the bag like a shit coin. It is literally like a shit
- 17:16coin. In fact, Fiat is a shit coin.
- 17:19Yeah man, incredibly touching story so sad about the people of
- 17:24Lebanon but I have hope and that hope is Bitcoin because this is
- 17:28going to Ask this going to force more and more people to ask
- 17:31questions and seek alternative to that system.
- 17:34Imagine if stores in Lebanon, started accepting Bitcoin.
- 17:38Imagine if people started bartering in Bitcoin.
- 17:41Rather than relying on this archaic system, that's fucking
- 17:45them over right now and it's absolutely disgusting.
- 17:48Dude, it is disgusting. It's despicable and anyone who
- 17:52defends that system is anti-human.
- 17:55You don't know what you're like. Use, look.
- 17:59A lot of people they care about equality, right?
- 18:02You want to talk about equality. Let's let's talk about Bitcoin.
- 18:06Let's bring Bitcoin into that conversation because that ain't
- 18:09equal that ain't equal. What that is is rules for?
- 18:13Do you think the CEO of that bank has to wait in line?
- 18:17You think he has to be pushed to that desperate measure where he
- 18:20has to shoot the window of this of this Bank.
- 18:25Like do you think he has to like buy a replica gun?
- 18:28Just so know he has different rules.
- 18:30Do you think the politicians of Lebanon play by those rules?
- 18:33No, it's just the average everyday person.
- 18:36The average everyday person is exactly what Bitcoin is for and
- 18:40Bitcoin. Everyone is equal.
- 18:41No one gets special treatment. You want more Bitcoin.
- 18:45You got a mine it you got to earn it or you gotta buy it like
- 18:48everybody else doesn't matter. If you're Michael sailor named
- 18:50buchelli you gotta play by the same rules as everybody else.
- 18:54What is more? Equitable and equal than that.
- 18:56There is nothing. It doesn't exist.
- 18:58So yeah man. Absolutely.
- 19:01An absolute travesty what is happening but at the same time,
- 19:07it fills me full of Hope because I now now I know that there is
- 19:11an alternative that really does fix that Bitcoin fixes that it's
- 19:16not a matter of does Bitcoin fix that.
- 19:18It's a matter of Awakening people to this tool that a lot
- 19:24of them. I'm sure are not aware of and
- 19:27anybody that is against this tool.
- 19:31Man. I don't know II don't want to
- 19:35say anything too drastic. I'll say nicely anyone who's
- 19:39against that tool is evil, they're evil, they're evil.
- 19:44They're acting out of their own self-interest or acting because
- 19:46they want more power. That's what it's all about.
- 19:48It's about power. It's about controlling people.
- 19:53We must Force these people to answer to those examples.
- 19:57We must for it, we must bring it up to them and say, hey, what do
- 20:01you think of this? What are your thoughts on this
- 20:03Christine Lagarde? What are your thoughts on this
- 20:06world Bank? What are your thoughts on this
- 20:07IMF? Because they're hell-bent on the
- 20:10adoption of Bitcoin in developing countries, but they
- 20:13never have an answer. They don't have an answer to
- 20:16inflation. They do not have an answer.
- 20:19So is it really about the well-being of developing
- 20:22countries? Adopting something a, you know,
- 20:24we're like we must stop them from adopting Bitcoin because
- 20:27it's going to Bad for them, is it really about the well-being
- 20:29of those countries? Or is it really about
- 20:31maintaining the current status quo?
- 20:33What's it really about? And the beauty of Bitcoin is
- 20:35that it Reveals All incentives and it doesn't matter how big
- 20:39the institutions are? It is what it is.
- 20:42Anyways, Opti. What are your thoughts?
- 20:43I know I went a little bit long but well first and foremost,
- 20:46hold on. I think you deserve some of
- 20:47these And then I think I also, I think it's also fitting that I
- 20:56at first just just Outsource my first response to the sound
- 21:01board as well. Remember what Nico said this
- 21:04your against Bitcoin? You're against Freedom, it
- 21:08seemed fitting today and before I get into my thoughts, shout
- 21:11out to Mike Denver he gave us a Super Chat to Canadian Dollars.
- 21:15He said one way to get rid of your filthy Fiat.
- 21:17Try it. So perfect.
- 21:19Perfect, preciate it. Well, my thoughts on first and
- 21:23foremost like yo those videos were Next Level you know like
- 21:27that that's in. That was insane to see and and
- 21:32you know heart-wrenching and absolutely just I don't know man
- 21:37as a Bitcoin ER even before Bitcoin, I've always been one of
- 21:42those persons that just didn't Trust Banks because I knew that
- 21:45like instantly, once I gave them my money, it wasn't my money.
- 21:49And like I said before, Bitcoin. Again, I was one of those people
- 21:52that metaphorically put their their dollars under their bed
- 21:56just because I again Didn't Trust Banks.
- 21:58And now I have Bitcoin and I don't have to do that I can opt
- 22:02out of the madness. I don't have to ask permission
- 22:04to use my money, I don't have to ask permission for someone to
- 22:07hold my money. That will abuse that that trust.
- 22:11And so this is why we Bitcoin and, you know, I could never do
- 22:14justice to the whole Nika Jones rant that we just had, but
- 22:18shouts out to the people in Lebanon.
- 22:19I really do hope. Up that more people get their
- 22:22money out of Banks and into Bitcoin because this is the, the
- 22:26feature of Bitcoin. You know, Bitcoin is
- 22:28permissionless. I don't have to ask you whether
- 22:31I can move my money. I, you know, I can send my money
- 22:34where I want to, I can send it anywhere.
- 22:36I don't need permission for from any middleman in regards to my
- 22:40money. Once it's in Cold Storage, once
- 22:43I have the private seeds to my money, it's my money and and you
- 22:47guys won't steal from me. I won't have to go through the
- 22:52bank runs that are inevitably going to happen on the on Fiat
- 22:55standards and and furthermore, the the inevitable
- 22:58hyperinflation of that currency. I mean, shout out to the people
- 23:01of Lebanon. I'm the inflation rate over.
- 23:04There are absolutely insane and you know, like there seems to be
- 23:07no end of it because the politicians and the central
- 23:10Bankers will continue to print more money and continue to stay
- 23:14the on the Fiat standard. So you know, I just hope more
- 23:17people are waking up to the message that Bitcoin is A
- 23:20solution to this problem. A very real problem, but there
- 23:23is a use case to bitcoin. And it is this shining example
- 23:27right here, banks are not to be trusted, do not keep your money
- 23:30in a bank. You know, hyperinflation is the
- 23:33inevitable end of Fiat but we have the solution.
- 23:36It is Bitcoin. Umm, anyways, I want to give a
- 23:39shout out to some awesome. Super chats.
- 23:41Thanks, Mike Denver one. He says, one way to get rid of
- 23:45your filthy Fiat, try it, love that next one.

- 24:03A very, very kind of you, man. I really, really appreciate it.
- 24:07Thank you for all the love. Anyways, guys, this check out,
- 24:11let's check out the Daily News. You have a lot to talk about.
- 24:16The Daily News brought to you by block stream.
- 24:19Jade built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners.

- 24:25Bitcoin block stream. Jade houses a full-color camera

- 24:51All right, all right. Oh, wow, sees he's got you, he's
- 24:55looking at. You is looking at you.
- 24:57He looks guilty in that picture. They always do that like a
- 24:59meteor always does this, right? Like they'll put like some crazy
- 25:01topic and then, you know, they put like a picture that kind of
- 25:04like match. Is that right now that I've
- 25:07pointed out you'll start to notice whenever there's an
- 25:10article that talked shit about someone.
- 25:11Like, we'll take a look at the picture that they chose.
- 25:14So anyways by Nets and all seriousness.
- 25:17Though there is a ton of signal in here and and I covered the
- 25:22Lebanon news on purpose, right? Connect the dots because they
- 25:26are related, okay? They are related and the
- 25:29fundamental thing that relates them is the the foundational
- 25:33thing that relates them is not your keys, not your Bitcoin.
- 25:37If you're Outsourcing the responsibility of your wealth,
- 25:40your trusting, someone To be ethical, right?
- 25:46You're trusting also on government to at least set up a
- 25:51framework in order for these things, not to happen.
- 25:54But the inevitable conclusion of that or the consequence of that
- 25:59is bigger government bigger regulate more regulation because
- 26:01they have to enforce those regulations somehow.
- 26:03Right now, what is the alternative?
- 26:05The alternative is everyone just takes their money and holds
- 26:08their own money. Like that is the alternative
- 26:10right there. That's what Bitcoin is.
- 26:12Advocate for right. And don't let anyone tell you
- 26:15that that somehow is dangerous. These that's bullshit.
- 26:18I think it's more dangerous. What just happened?
- 26:20In Lebanon. I think that is more dangerous.
- 26:22I think that it, that that affects people more than them
- 26:27holding their wealth, most people do they just, you know,
- 26:30they want to have a family, you want to be able to get food like
- 26:36is that bad? Like is that bad?
- 26:38Like and of course this is where they're going to try to say
- 26:41anyways. There's check out this article
- 26:43name of the Articles Forbes. Digital assets is a publication
- 26:46by Nance is bleeding assets. 12 billion gone in less than 60
- 26:49days goes, on to say, by ants. The world's largest crypto
- 26:52currency exchange is struggling to hold on to Assets in the wake
- 26:55of the collapse of rival. FTX investors have been pulling
- 26:58their crypto in recent weeks, despite Assurance from see of
- 27:01from CEOs, easy that the situation has stabilized.
- 27:05Outflows are accelerating. Customers were drew a net of 360
- 27:09million dollars on Friday. According to data from Krypto
- 27:13Dada, firm Thelma, on December 13th, net, non son, a separate
- 27:19crypto data firm. Broke, the news that by Nance
- 27:21had lost three billion dollars of assets.
- 27:24Over the previous week representing four percent of the
- 27:26firm's total at the time. A Forbes investigation revealed
- 27:30that in fact by Nance lost 15% of its assets since a Twitter
- 27:34posting by CZ on the same day he downplayed the non Sun reports
- 27:39withdrawals. Still nearly a quarter of bye
- 27:41finances assets left the exchange in less than two
- 27:44months. That is absolutely wild.
- 27:46Orbs reach out to by Nancy can comments for this story, but did
- 27:49not receive a response by Publications.
- 27:51I'm now, I know what a lot of you guys are thinking, right?
- 27:55It's like Nico like they self 75% but you have to understand,
- 27:58right? We don't know what by Nance's
- 28:01books are actually they are actually they haven't been
- 28:05audited a long time because they haven't taken investor money in
- 28:07a long time. So you are taking their word.
- 28:13That they didn't they aren't selling Bitcoin that they don't
- 28:18have. Your also telling taking their
- 28:20word that they didn't use a lot of the deposits to speculate
- 28:26themselves on the market, because that's what FTX did,
- 28:29right? FTX was selling Bitcoin, it
- 28:31didn't have and and the bear Market lead to losses.
- 28:39And when people started withdrawing that led to a bank
- 28:42run, meaning a Ft x was fractionally reserved, so we
- 28:46don't know if finances. That Lebanese bank for example,
- 28:51clearly. They ran into that.
- 28:52That same problem. So it goes on to say, none of
- 28:56these asset. We don't know if the by Nance
- 28:59assets are back to one to one. You're trusting, someone just
- 29:03like the Lebanese, people didn't know, right?
- 29:06Just like the people that invent that, that that deposit in FTX
- 29:10didn't know, like see the problem here.
- 29:14Very, very basic problem. Stop trusting other people with
- 29:18your money. Because if you're not, if you're
- 29:19going to continue trusting other people with your money like what
- 29:22is the definition of insanity, right?
- 29:24Trying the same thing and expecting different results.
- 29:27This is insane. This is insane.
- 29:29And the only thing that is stopping people is because they
- 29:32don't want to take a little bit of personal responsibility and
- 29:35learn You know, learn how to take self custody.
- 29:39Is it really that hard to like, learn how to use a hardware
- 29:43wallet? Like the Jade right?
- 29:45Our sponsor makes it incredibly easy, right?
- 29:48There's other Harbor wallets, that make it easy as well,
- 29:51right? Like, it's not that hard, dude.
- 29:54It's not that hard, okay, it's not that hard because if not
- 29:59like the the, you know, the alternative is you Outsource
- 30:03that wealth, which is fine, right?
- 30:05Everything is Everything. Nothing works perfectly when
- 30:08shit hasn't hit the fan it's when shit hits the fan that
- 30:11things start to break. But at that time at that point
- 30:14things are way too late, right? Things are too late member.
- 30:18What Alex machine ski the CEO of Celsius was saying, right?
- 30:21He's like all those Bitcoin Maxis there, they're forcing
- 30:23people to take self custody. Remember when he said that like
- 30:28and it seemed like at the pot at the time when everyone was
- 30:31making money, everything was going up at the time.
- 30:34It's like, yeah, these are big or Maxis are assholes.
- 30:37Things had to break, we got Vindicated, but in the process
- 30:40of being Vindicated is Bittersweet, he's a whole lot of
- 30:43people got wrecked in the process.
- 30:46Well, we've been banging from the rooftops back then, and now
- 30:50is not your keys, not your Bitcoin. ..
- 30:56That you can't change that and I would even add to that said, not
- 30:59your keys, not your wealth anyways.
- 31:02Investors lack of trust is best seen in the performances of BNB
- 31:06and be buying it be USD the two tokens bearing.
- 31:09The Exchange is named bian be lost 29 percent of its value.
- 31:13In the past, two months for was estimated that leaves about 9
- 31:15million of the token at Finance 51 percent less than disclosed
- 31:19by The Exchange on November 10th.
- 31:21Meanwhile, the number of be u.s. DC will coins at the at the
- 31:24firm. By 40%, there's also more subtle
- 31:27ways in which financed seems to be losing trust and influence
- 31:30while net assets drop by 24 percent since November, the
- 31:32investors and well-known tokens like Matic ape kala parade.
- 31:36Their assets of the exchange by 40 to 50 percent, although it
- 31:39Remains the largest cryptocurrency, current the back
- 31:42crypto currency exchange by volume - is not unscathed by the
- 31:45nearly year-long decline in digital assets.
- 31:47It's BMB token is down. Almost 37 percent.
- 31:50From 12 months ago, according to Noma demotic I'm X and the
- 31:55exchange decision to stop changing fees for spot Bitcoin
- 31:58trading at the market faltered cost is about three billion
- 32:01dollars a year in Lost Revenue, CC himself contributed to the
- 32:05demise of FTX in November. When he announced on Twitter
- 32:08that he was planning to sell his Holdings of the Rival of the
- 32:11Rival exchange, FTX tokens then worth about 580 million dollars.
- 32:16Anyways, goes on to say and I want to read this last part and
- 32:18goes through the data. Right of all the all the
- 32:21exchange withdraws, the percentages, the numbers, but
- 32:25back down here. And I want to connect this with
- 32:28what I was just reading just now in terms of the Lebanese case,
- 32:32right? At the very bottom it says
- 32:35investor takeaways. Right says the bottom line is
- 32:38that it growing number of by Nance, investors are leaving the
- 32:40exchange or sharply reducing their exposure to it.
- 32:43This sharp drop is taking place at a steady Pace without much
- 32:46media attention or Market reaction.
- 32:48Well, makes this story significant, is that by its own.
- 32:52Inertia Finance is getting close to a precipice or this soft run
- 32:56on the bank would intensify you hear that last part.
- 33:00Called it a run on the bank. How is that?
- 33:03Any different fundamentally then?
- 33:06What is happening in Lebanon? How is that any different find
- 33:09you could say? Nico one is one is Bitcoin and
- 33:12shit coins. One is a bank, it's different
- 33:15no, but it's not if you look at it, very basically, a Lebanese
- 33:19people trusted, those banks with their money and, you know, the
- 33:23shit corners and maybe some bitcoiners.
- 33:25I have no idea trust, it's easy with, with their money.
- 33:28When I'm trying to advocate for is stop trusting other people
- 33:31with you money. Now that we have the technology
- 33:33that allows you not to have to, but so, how is that any
- 33:40different, right? And, and look, here's the thing,
- 33:42that's stories. As old as time, it's all this
- 33:44time. It literally has happened over
- 33:47and over and over again, Bank runs 1930s in the US, the member
- 33:51of the, during the pandemic, like everything that was
- 33:54happening, people were freaked out.
- 33:55We must take out and then the FDIC Insurance lady.
- 33:58Has she come out of the video? Your money is safe here.
- 34:00It's like, okay, fine, why do you have to endure that?
- 34:04Why do you have to trust that lady?
- 34:07She's not incentivised to tell you the truth.
- 34:10She's incentivised to tell you something so that you don't pull
- 34:14out your money out of the system so that you don't blow up out of
- 34:17system. The people that are supposed to
- 34:20tell like supposed to be the Guardians of your money, are
- 34:23also not incentivized to do a good job there, incentivize for
- 34:28you to keep your money with them.
- 34:31Which is why that Bank in Lebanon, they just closed the
- 34:33doors on the guy. This is close the doors and it's
- 34:36forcing people to do drastic things like you know use
- 34:38violence and you know, use guns and whatnot.
- 34:43How about you just be the person that you asked when you access
- 34:46your you're the only one it's like oh I need my or what?
- 34:51You're crazy case, right? What if you live in a
- 34:53totalitarian country? What if you live in a country
- 34:56where the government is taking hair cuts off the bank accounts,
- 35:00like what happened in Greece during the financial crisis,
- 35:03What, what if you live in those countries?
- 35:07Because they're the government. The state is going to tell you,
- 35:10leave your money in the bank. What about you, what about your
- 35:14family? What about all the tummy time
- 35:17that you spent the money that you spent the time and energy
- 35:21that you spent building up your savings?
- 35:26That's never talked about, that's never talked about which
- 35:30always talked about the, it's the, the the Bank of Greece.
- 35:34The Central Bank of greet the health of the center.
- 35:36What about the health of the individuals of the people of
- 35:39Greece? What about the health of the
- 35:40individuals of the people of Lebanon?
- 35:42What about them? And it's talked about like this,
- 35:45it's like like, it's some like Nate, like law of nature.
- 35:48These things must happen. I disagree, these things are
- 35:53happening because the whole fucking system is rotten to the
- 35:56Core. The rabbit hole that I've been
- 36:00going down the last couple of months, right?
- 36:02Is the inflation rabbit hole, right?
- 36:04And I might be going my head. I'm like inflation.
- 36:07Necessary is if those whatever because I think dude, I don't I
- 36:09don't have an economics background, I don't know.
- 36:11But like I do have common sense and it's like, I don't think so,
- 36:16why do I don't think so? Because I've been on a Bitcoin
- 36:17standard for a minute now and like, it's been awesome.
- 36:23I really recommend it. Deflationary, life style is
- 36:26dope. Um, now I can only imagine
- 36:29Imagine what what the rest of the world being on this
- 36:31inflation? Deflation are lifestyle is like
- 36:34I think a lot of the world's problems are caused by the fact
- 36:39that inflation is stealing from everybody. and I have no idea
- 36:43how I got down to this rabbit hole, bro, but like Man, CZ,
- 36:48Lebanon, all of this stuff. It is history repeating itself
- 36:54over and over again. We now have a chance to change
- 36:57that like, break that cycle, completely, but it all falls
- 37:02down to us us individuals, to wake people up to this
- 37:08alternative to this better technology.
- 37:11And if you have a family, you have older members in your
- 37:13family that you're like, yo, they're not going to get a
- 37:15technologically saval. Take responsibility and be that
- 37:20Uncle Jim for them. Be that Uncle Jim for them?
- 37:26It's time it. So we have an opportunity over
- 37:30the next 1020 years to fundamentally change the world
- 37:34for the better without coercing. Everybody without forcing people
- 37:39without getting people to vote and politics and whatever.
- 37:42New, no, no. All you got to do very simple.
- 37:46Hey, yo, there's this better. This is better money to make
- 37:49life better. Are you gonna do is off doubt?
- 37:52Write down 24 words. Put it on a harbor wallet, but I
- 37:55think about it. Boom, you win, I win.
- 37:57We all win. It's great.
- 37:58It's phenomenal. Right?
- 38:00When has it? That's never been the case.
- 38:02Any other political movement, there's winners and there's
- 38:05losers who? Okay, fine.
- 38:07You could say oh there's losers here.
- 38:09The central Bankers Christine Lagarde like what the fuck does
- 38:11it matter, bro? Like she her system hurts
- 38:15people, it steals from people via inflation.
- 38:19Our system is dope doesn't steal from anyone.
- 38:22You want to own my own Bitcoin. Be happy versus Oh, nothing and
- 38:26be happy. Like options are clear, man.
- 38:30It's very obvious. What where, what direction we
- 38:33should go? Anyways, Abdi, what are your
- 38:36thoughts, guys? I have to run in about five
- 38:37minutes off. These gonna hold it down, but
- 38:39opted. You, what are your thoughts on?
- 38:40Well, I wanted, I know, I went a bit of red, go on, go on
- 38:44emotional, bro, because that that, that thing, that, that
- 38:47Lebanese example in the berry, a triggered me, bro.
- 38:50Like when I read that, I was like, holy cow.
- 38:52This is so sad. You know?
- 38:54And and it reminded me, I'm like, this is why we're here.
- 38:57This is why we're here. This is why we show up every
- 38:59single day. Well, first and foremost, again,
- 39:03Outsourcing my responses today. Tomeka Jones rant, get you the
- 39:08300 I lose. But yeah, I think I think you
- 39:12summed it up pretty well at the end.
- 39:14And this is a, this is a Verbatim quote.
- 39:16Our system is dope. Nico.
- 39:20Let's go. Ha ha ha, but yeah, man is this
- 39:24something we say all the time on the show and it's a Bitcoin meme
- 39:27it's a Bitcoin Trope at this point you know like don't trust
- 39:30verify call The Bluffs. On these exchanges.
- 39:33Take your Bitcoin into self custody.
- 39:35Under private key that you control to simple as writing
- 39:38down toward the 24 words, you know, whether it's on a mobile
- 39:41wallet, whether it's on a hardware signing devices, it my
- 39:45opinion to very simple process and this is why we do what we do
- 39:49as bitcoiners. Like What's The Saying A sly
- 39:52roundabout way to opt out of the Fiat system.
- 39:55Like, we have this guy's, we say it every single day, or at
- 39:58least, I pretty much say. It every single day, we have
- 40:00that freedom tool now and it's called Bitcoin, and it's only a
- 40:04matter of time. Will everyone wakes up to what
- 40:06we know? It's like you can't trust Banks.
- 40:08You can't trust crypto Bank. Shit coin banks because they're
- 40:11all the same thing, they're recreating the Fiat system on
- 40:13the blockchain and you don't have to take your Bitcoin into
- 40:16self custody again. If I can do it, I am almost
- 40:19positive that anyone can do it. You know, self custody is as
- 40:22easy as, you know, sending an email basically.
- 40:25Like if you can, if you can remember words, any English
- 40:30word, you can remember your seed phrase.
- 40:32It's a very simple process, man. I'm reminded of a tweet that
- 40:38that we put out there like you can do it little buddy when you
- 40:40taking the self custody. And we got a response is like
- 40:44imagine saying this about making a phone call, like it's really a
- 40:47lot harder in your head than it is to take Bitcoin into self
- 40:51custody. Yes, there is a learning curve.
- 40:53Yes, you know, like Bitcoin is hard until you realize that it's
- 40:57a very easy process and it's like a, it's a, it's a thread
- 41:01that I have on my Twitter pinned, it's like Bitcoin is
- 41:03hard until you. Stand.
- 41:05Why you hot on then it's easy. There is a certain amount of
- 41:09mental exercise that you have to do like there's a mental leap
- 41:13that you have to do after your first Bitcoin transaction.
- 41:16But after that man, it's very simple becomes second nature and
- 41:19and you don't have to trust anyone with your money.
- 41:21This is, this is why we as bitcoiners continue to repeat
- 41:26the same mantras, take your Bitcoin in self custody.
- 41:28Not your Bitcoin, not your keys because it doesn't matter
- 41:31whether it's it's a Fiat bank or a shit coin Bank.
- 41:35They are all the same and you don't have to trust them.
- 41:37This is why we Bitcoin. This is why you take your
- 41:40Bitcoin and self custody. This is a why you use or you
- 41:44write down your seed phrase and you're the only one that
- 41:47controls it. Like, you don't have to play
- 41:49this game anymore. It's a feature.
- 41:51Not a bug, guys. Like we have the tools now and
- 41:54it is Bitcoin and more people just need to know that But I
- 41:58didn't give me the nikah you needed.
- 42:00We have the tools, people just need to know that.
- 42:02I 100% agree. Like we we have the winner.
- 42:06It's just about educating people getting people to wake up and
- 42:10realize that because they're so conditioned to winner, you know,
- 42:14the winner takes all we're advocating for is like hey in
- 42:18this system, everybody can win, right?
- 42:20They everybody can win right. And and that, you know, and
- 42:23especially if you've been conditioned in the Fiat system
- 42:25for so long, that could be a very hard pill to swallow.
- 42:28Swallow. Anyways guys, I will see you
- 42:31tomorrow. Opt he's gonna hold it down.
- 42:33He's going to absolutely kill it Opti.
- 42:35It's all you. My friend.

- 43:04Swan Bitcoin.com today, Well, Nico leaves me and he's already
- 43:10trying to cut out the culture today, it's not the main review.
- 43:13We're going into the culture. Anyways, on this point, again,
- 43:21me and Nico, Nico, and I don't really coordinate our segments.
- 43:25Usually, we do have a rough idea.
- 43:26What we're going to talk about. But today, it's very fitting.
- 43:29I got this comment yesterday on our YouTube and I thought, you
- 43:34know, I'll take today on the culture too.
- 43:37To to cover it. So shots out the gas he
- 43:39commented hello guys sort of new to the channel.
- 43:42Any chance you guys can make a video about Bitcoin only
- 43:45Hardware wallet. I'm confused as to which is best
- 43:48for me. Average American guy here,
- 43:50middle-class income, nearly a whole Corner.
- 43:52Don't know exactly what to get. Thanks.
- 43:56First and foremost shouts out to you Gus, shouts out to you for
- 44:00continuing to Stacks at and, and continuing the self custody
- 44:04Journey. First caveat try not to tell
- 44:06people you're a whole coin. You know, lean into the boating
- 44:10accident. I mean, you never know what's
- 44:12gonna happen. But anyways, on this point, what
- 44:16are my favorite Bitcoin only Hardware wallets as a lot of
- 44:20bitcoiners say on Twitter Bitcoin Hardware signing
- 44:24devices. And you know, we're doing our
- 44:28best over here on simply Bitcoin to when we tell you guys to take
- 44:32Bitcoin itself custody to not only give you the mantras in the
- 44:37memes but Also give you guys the tools that we like best.
- 44:40So, first and foremost, I do have some here.
- 44:44The this is not a complete list, but these are the ones that I
- 44:47use that. I like that.
- 44:49I enjoyed the most and I will cover some of the trade-offs and
- 44:52and some of the differences. And of course, there is certain
- 44:56trade off to to these Hardware signing device to these Bitcoin
- 44:59Hardware wallets and they're they're at different price
- 45:02points. And so this is why I gave a few
- 45:05options and these are my favorites at the current moment.
- 45:07Men, of course, as new Bitcoin Hardware wallets come out,
- 45:11Hardware signing devices, whatever nomenclature you want
- 45:14to use. I will continue to update this,
- 45:16but at the current moment Gus, these are the wallets that I
- 45:19love that I'm using, that are part of myself, custody set up.
- 45:23So first and foremost, I got the Jade here.
- 45:26It is, you can see it's, it's translucent green.
- 45:30That's why it looks like. It's an invisible one.
- 45:33Absolutely love this. This is the newest one in my
- 45:36repertoire. And the reason I'm starting with
- 45:39this one is because I think this is the best best price point for
- 45:43Bitcoin Hardware. While it Hardware.
- 45:45Sign device, it's 50 bucks, bro. Like the the amount of
- 45:48engineering that block stream has put into the Jade.
- 45:52I think it's absolutely beautiful.
- 45:53And for the price point of 50 bucks, I don't think you can
- 45:55beat this. This is probably the best way to
- 46:01take your Bitcoin into self custody and start that stuff,
- 46:04custody journey. I think this is the wallet that
- 46:06I'm going to Our to lead most of my Bitcoin newbies friends down
- 46:11because of the price point. You know, you said, you are
- 46:15close to becoming a whole corner.
- 46:16But one thing that I've understood is like, you know,
- 46:18most people are stacking a few sets.
- 46:20Maybe they have like a thousand dollars maybe that five hundred
- 46:22dollars into Bitcoin Fiat dollars in a Bitcoin and then
- 46:25you tell them to go buy one of these other wallet that I'm
- 46:28going to tell you and it's basically like half their stack
- 46:31and you'll it's kind of hard to sell to people.
- 46:33It's like, okay, you know, you have $500 $1000 in Bitcoin.
- 46:36Now, go by this 300 dollar Hardware wallet and they're like
- 46:39man. I'm really that's that's a lot
- 46:41of money for most people. So fifty dollar price point for
- 46:44the block string, Jade Hardware signing devise absolutely love
- 46:47it. You can see it's got a camera on
- 46:48it. I guess I could hold on.
- 46:51I could hear. Let me let me turn off the green
- 46:54screen for a moment and you can see the block stream Jade and
- 47:00all its translucent green Glory. Absolutely love the colors.
- 47:05Okay? Next One.
- 47:09Is one of my favorites. And again, the price point is
- 47:13very good for those starting out, but it's also DIY.
- 47:17It's off the shelf and you don't have to send your information,
- 47:22your address, your name to a Bitcoin company.
- 47:26So the next one is deceived signer.
- 47:29You can see even got a 3D printed seed, signer case on
- 47:32this one. This is all off the shelf.
- 47:35I think it's getting very hard to get Raspberry Pi's.
- 47:38Zero's right now but this is one of my favorite favorite wallets
- 47:41out there. It's stateless it uses the
- 47:44camera so that you can scan a QR code to get your seed phrase and
- 47:49there's nothing ever on this. You can you can pass this around
- 47:52to you know, multiple people in your family, you can Uncle Jim
- 47:55everyone. You can just get one device and
- 47:56everyone can save their own seed phrase, their own QR code that
- 48:00skin. They can scan into it.
- 48:02And, you know, you can pass this around to anyone and you don't
- 48:06have to be afraid of losing your wallet.
- 48:08Are your Bitcoin? And again, this one is a DIY
- 48:12wallet, guys. So you have to build it.
- 48:15I know there is some companies out there where you can buy them
- 48:18pre-made, you can make them look very cool.
- 48:20There's a bunch of different ways to make it.
- 48:22I don't have any toggle, you know, little toggles on here but
- 48:25soon enough, I will get one. So, this is my orange seed
- 48:29signer, again, at the price point at least when I made this.
- 48:32I think it was like, 60, 70 bucks.
- 48:34When I made it, I think the the Raspberry Pi is becoming very
- 48:37hard. To get right now.
- 48:39But highly recommend this one because, you know, it's
- 48:42off-the-shelf parts and who knows where you're living right
- 48:46now, I'm guessing you're an American Gus.
- 48:48You said your average average American, you know, middle class
- 48:51so you know, maybe these aren't your concern.
- 48:54But if you are around the world in a country that is not so
- 48:57Bitcoin friendly, you can get all these parts sent to you and
- 49:01you can build a hardware signing device for yourself.
- 49:04So the second one is the seed signer and the third And I think
- 49:08for most bitcoiners this is the wallet that we love that that
- 49:12most people think is the quintessential Pinnacle of
- 49:17Bitcoin Hardware signing devices or Bitcoin Hardware wallet and
- 49:22it is the cold card. It is everyone's favorite
- 49:24Bitcoin calculator. The, you know it's transparent
- 49:27as well. This one is awesome.
- 49:29This one looks cypherpunk. It looks like an old calculator
- 49:34and I think this is kind of like the industry-standard again at
- 49:38the The price point. I forget what, how much these
- 49:40cost I think they're around. Like $200 right now for 200 Fiat
- 49:43dollars right now. It might be a little more.
- 49:46I forget exactly how much they are.
- 49:48But I think for most bitcoiners the highly recommend the cold
- 49:53card, and I would also highly recommend the cold card.
- 49:56And so, this is why I, you know, I brought some options for you
- 50:00today because Gus, you're going to have to kind of make the
- 50:03choice for yourself. You're going to have to do the
- 50:07little bit of research. And and, you know, figure out
- 50:10the trade-offs for yourself, understand what price points you
- 50:13want to buy for for your Hardware sounding device, how
- 50:16much you want to invest in in your self custody.
- 50:19But I mean, it sounds like you are, as you said, almost a whole
- 50:22corner. So maybe you are thinking of
- 50:26getting very serious and yourself custody journey and so
- 50:30maybe you want to jump headfirst and get yourself a cold card.
- 50:34The beauty of this though is you can get all three And you can go
- 50:38heavy and to set up a multisig wallet using.
- 50:41I don't want my favorite wallet or signing coordinating devices
- 50:44Sparrow out there and you can get them all together and then
- 50:48your, your, your Bitcoin self custody journey is as secure as
- 50:53possible. But, you know, for most people,
- 50:56you can just get one of them at a difficult pass code, pass
- 51:00phrase as your 25th, word on it, and you'll be good to go.
- 51:03So Gus, I hope that answered your question again.
- 51:07We're going to start with the J. $50.
- 51:09Absolutely. Love this.
- 51:10I'm going to recommend this one to most people out there to take
- 51:13their first journey into self custody.
- 51:15The next one, is the seed signer.
- 51:17I think this is one of the coolest projects out there off
- 51:19the shelf Parts DIY and just super cool stateless scanning
- 51:24the QR. They're pretty sure they're the
- 51:25first one to get the camera up on there and they're starting
- 51:28that movement. And then, of course, the cold
- 51:30card, there is some other some other honorable mentions like
- 51:35the foundation passport is seems pretty cool.
- 51:37I think sexy See, you know, the big box bit box. 02.
- 51:43That one's pretty cool. There's a few other ones, but
- 51:46the three that I'm recommending today is the Jade, the seed
- 51:49Center and the cold card, again, at the price points.
- 51:52I think these are the best ones. These are what I use and I
- 51:56highly suggest this for you guys, guess.
- 51:58So, I hope that answers your question.
- 52:01If you have more, ask us on the YouTube and I will do my best to
- 52:04cover them all. We are getting spammed over
- 52:06there. So it's hard to get Get
- 52:08everything but I hope this helped you out.

- 55:17Adam, in the entire universe, we have a picture of the universe.
- 55:21Just math is hard and big numbers are even harder for
- 55:24human. So man, just mind-blowing

- 57:29Reserve Banking. And we talk about this today.
- 57:33You know, from the 1802 1930, a relatively stable rise from the
- 57:40gold standard era in this ratio. And then, once we created the
- 57:44Federal Reserve Bank, the FED, look at all this stability, look
- 57:48at much stability. The You the world in the Fiat
- 57:54Capital era. Oh my goodness, you can't make
