Transcript
- 0:10Welcome to submit Bitcoin live. Where your number one source for
- 0:13the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution record, breaking news called
- 0:15traumatic Warfare will be your guide through the separation of
- 0:18money and state Bitcoin stays winning.
- 0:23We're moving right now. 31200 $18 feels very very good and the
- 0:29IMF basically said that can't stop Bitcoin.
- 0:35You can't stop the honey badger. Well that's obviously incredibly
- 0:38obvious to anyone who's been Been paying attention and
- 0:41understands Bitcoin, but they're saying the quiet part out loud,
- 0:44but they're still in this, like, coping phase where, you know,
- 0:48they're like. Okay, but we're going to this
- 0:50roll out, this Central Bank, digital currency, and
- 0:53everything's going to be, alright, and we're going to be
- 0:56able to maintain this privilege of, basically being able to
- 0:59create money for free that everyone else has to work for.
- 1:03But you know I think they see the writing on the wall.
- 1:05I think they see the inevitability of Of their
- 1:10inevitable divided demise. But anyways, also on the media
- 1:16front, which we've been covering this all as well, because I
- 1:20think it's equally as important. So, we are living through this
- 1:24disintermediation of money, right?
- 1:26We all know that. That's I think that's what
- 1:27Bitcoin is, right? But we're also living through
- 1:31the disintermediation of information, right?
- 1:34And you know, there's a bit of a crossover and the internet is
- 1:38responsible for all this, Right, the internet has allowed first.
- 1:42It allowed people to communicate peer-to-peer without, you know,
- 1:46having to go through or better said, it allowed people to seek
- 1:52their own information without going through a gatekeeper
- 1:55without going through an intermediary, right?
- 1:58And we've been watching this play out like ever, like, you
- 2:01know, slowly, but surely we've seen people Go and seek their
- 2:10own information, you know instead of watching Legacy
- 2:13corporate media show though start watching The Joe Rogan
- 2:16podcast right? And what's been happening this
- 2:20last week is RF K Jr which is you know spoke at the Bitcoin
- 2:25conference he said he'll protect the right for bitcoiners to hold
- 2:28Bitcoin. Run their own nodes, all that
- 2:29good stuff but he also talked a lot about the mainstream to
- 2:36Nicely. He talked against a lot of the
- 2:40mainstream pandemic narratives, right?
- 2:44And there was an interview that he did, that was completely D
- 2:48platformed from YouTube. So we live in a world right now
- 2:52where the second place for the Democratic presidential
- 2:57candidacy is getting deep platforms by, you know, like
- 3:03those opinions are not allowed, right?
- 3:06This also happened with the prior presidents as well, right?
- 3:10This is crazy world, right? So, you know, it's like if you
- 3:16don't have the approved group, think your opinion is not
- 3:21allowed. Now, that works if you control
- 3:25the communication mediums but now that the internet is around,
- 3:30what people are just going to go to Alternative platforms.
- 3:33People are just going to, you know, get there.
- 3:36Formation someplace else and the media admitted finally, what the
- 3:43IMF also admitted, you know, and it's not a coincidence again
- 3:46that this is all happening around the same time that we
- 3:50don't have as much power as we used to.
- 3:54So, Freedom stays winning this week and to put the cherry on
- 3:59top, the price of Bitcoin is mooning baby.
- 4:03Anyways, before we start the show when I bring up my
- 4:05incredible co-host. Host, always optimistic.

- 8:53Oh, I think I heard Ben cup came in, let's bring them up Opti
- 8:57It's bring up the man, the myth, the legend himself.
- 9:00BTS, Essence, full takeover, we're going to switch names for
- 9:05the show. BTC says need to be referred to
- 9:07as Nico. I'm gonna be a bed, I'm gonna be
- 9:09a been, I want to I want to know how it feels like he's a
- 9:11posture, which one's the fake been.
- 9:14I mean, I'll been school. I feel like this this is almost
- 9:18a 51% attack right here. Oh my goodness.
- 9:22And I mean I think that I think Neko streak just pushes it over
- 9:26to yeah, to Grandpa. The streak that takes it.
- 9:30Wow, this is no longer a safe space.
- 9:33You know what? All right, Ben, it's your show.
- 9:39Where'd he go? Oh, man.
- 9:42Oh man. All right, well, we're happy to
- 9:44have been joining us today. Anyways, I want to talk about
- 9:47this, right? Which is the theme that was
- 9:49talking about in the very beginning.
- 9:51And we've talked about this on simply sessions as well, by the
- 9:53way, tuning it tune in every Thursday at 6 p.m. eastern time.
- 9:58So I've been making this case, right?
- 9:59We are witnessing the complete collapse of the corporate
- 10:01media's legitimacy. Without the previous Monopoly on
- 10:04mass distribution, they have to compete with the general public
- 10:06on equal footing. And we've been talking about
- 10:10these words right? Like Gatekeepers intermediaries
- 10:13but was really interesting is Tucker brought it up last night
- 10:17in his show. So you got fired off of, you
- 10:20know, of a Fox News for going against the mainstream
- 10:24narrative, even though he was the most popular Legacy Media,
- 10:27Caster. He had Bitcoin supporters
- 10:30regularly on the show. He said, publicly on the show
- 10:33that he supported Bitcoin with Tucker is basically making the
- 10:37argument that we've been making. And what's really, really
- 10:40awesome before I play you, the the Tucker clip is that the
- 10:43Legacy Media is admitting this as well.
- 10:45This is a quote from CBS news clip.
- 10:48It says Legacy Media is not the gatekeeper and frankly we
- 10:51shouldn't we never have been but he has these other outlets and
- 10:55opportunities to get his message across Ross, which is why he's
- 10:59at 20%, Which is it's funny though because they've been
- 11:01telling us the exact opposite for the last couple of years,
- 11:04which is, if you're not getting your information from an
- 11:06official new source, it is misinformation and you shouldn't
- 11:09trust it. So it's just interesting how
- 11:11that works. Anyways, I'm going to play this
- 11:13Tucker clip. I think Tucker says the best and
- 11:15then we'll talk about it. We'll go around the horn.
- 11:21The guy can't hear the audio. Oh crap.
- 11:24I forgot to enable it. Here we go.
- 11:25Quick audible real quick. Let's do that again.
- 11:29Here we go. Boom.
- 11:30All right. What about now Opti?
- 11:33Let me go. Oh man, this Carlson there's
- 11:43never been a candidate for utterly wrong.
- 11:46Shootist, she'd written a book mass index as a tool of quote,
- 11:49racist exclusion which is caused historical harm.
- 11:54Next year, they will denounce thermometers and stethoscopes.
- 11:57They're insane compared to them, Bobby.
- 11:59Kennedy is a mainstream figure and people understand that,
- 12:02that's why he's winning and, you know, he's winning by how his
- 12:05critics are doing. So does four years ago and a
- 12:08Merlin was regarded as an important.
- 12:10An expert on conspiracy theories and misinformation she'd written
- 12:13a book on the topic, he or she is talking about it.
- 12:16I've always thought that in a case of conspiracy Peddlers,
- 12:18it's not necessarily a super profitable Enterprise to ask
- 12:21whether they really believe it or not, because I don't know
- 12:25what's in their hearts. I don't know what's in their
- 12:28minds. All I know is what they spend
- 12:30their time doing which is promoting conspiracy theories.
- 12:34In the case of Ordinary People, conspiracy consumers, and most
- 12:38Americans are to some degree. Consumers of conspiracy
- 12:41theories. All the studies that we have
- 12:44show that like one in three Americans believe in some
- 12:47conspiracy theory to some extent for the people in the very sort
- 12:52of deep end of the conspiracy pool people who are consuming a
- 12:54lot of conspiracy content. I think it's really important to
- 12:58look at the way it helps them make sense of the world and make
- 13:01sense of our political moment and make sense of a lot of
- 13:04times, like, what's happening in their own lives.
- 13:07All the studies that we have show that like one in Three
- 13:10Americans believe in some conspiracy theory, huh?
- 13:14You'll notice the up speak the rising inflection at the end of
- 13:16the sentence. That's a familiar tick in.
- 13:18Brooklyn is designed to turn a declarative sentence into a
- 13:22question and thereby belittle The Listener.
- 13:24Do you follow me? Is this too complicated for you.
- 13:26So the lady in the nose ring wants you to know she's smart,
- 13:30but she's not when Merlin recorded that interview Vice
- 13:33where she now works was valued at more than five billion
- 13:36dollars. Genius investors like James
- 13:38Murdoch were showering. The Opening with money.
- 13:41Everyone wanted it on the future of media which was up stalkers,
- 13:45like, Anna Merlin lecturing you about racism and misinformation,
- 13:49but that is changed last month. Vice filed for bankruptcy and
- 13:54Merlin is still on Twitter. Screeching about how her critics
- 13:56or transphobic, but nobody cares.
- 13:59Nobody wants to hear from. Anna Merlin anymore.
- 14:02The Gatekeepers are transparently ridiculous.
- 14:06Everyone can see that people have started to notice, and I
- 14:09think I want to focus. Us on that last part and you
- 14:11take out all the political rhetoric, which we do not talk
- 14:14about on, simply Bitcoin, The Gatekeepers are ridiculous and
- 14:19it's become absolutely transparent, right?
- 14:21And this is going back to the steam that we've been talking
- 14:24about for you know, a, you know, a couple of months now on on
- 14:32simply Bitcoin we've been talking about it on simply
- 14:34sessions, right? It's crazy.
- 14:36What happens when people are allowed to talk?
- 14:40Directly to each other. You know, the these the internet
- 14:43has given them a platform, it's given you a platform then, you
- 14:46know, it's allowed you to talk directly to your audience and I
- 14:49think the the lady that Tucker was talking about and again, put
- 14:53all the political rhetoric aside, I think she really
- 14:57fundamentally believes that. If it's not, the approved
- 15:00narrative, it is Anna is conspiracy theory, right?
- 15:04So if it's not an approved narrative, it's a conspiracy
- 15:06theory and remember this and apply this to what we've been
- 15:09hearing about. About Bitcoin.
- 15:11Oh, remember we heard this about inflation inflation?
- 15:15There's no inflation that's misinformation.
- 15:17What are you talking about, right?
- 15:19So, you know, this is a Brave New World that we're heading in,
- 15:22but it's also very, very exciting times.
- 15:24And, you know, watching these archaic institutions continue to
- 15:29lose power, you know, I think is something something to behold to
- 15:33say the least anyways, been, what are your thoughts?
- 15:37Wait, I just said Ben, what are your thoughts?
- 15:41Laguna prize because he just put a good deed in here and I'll
- 15:44pull it up real quick for everyone to see.
- 15:46All right, let's do it. Here we go.
- 15:48We're pulling up and this is by Alan.
- 15:50Farrington says, when someone says misinformation rather than
- 15:53false they are either - - mindlessly parroting.
- 15:57Coolkid bullshit or maliciously. Why the why all the complicated
- 16:01words, bro? What does that take?
- 16:03AA concocting. The bullshit themselves.
- 16:06Serious people. Do not use the word
- 16:08misinformation except to mock the uncie.
- 16:10Serious. And I think I think Tucker
- 16:12really summarize that anyways. Ben Ben Bryce.
- 16:17What your thoughts, bro? I thought my thoughts were
- 16:21exactly basically what Alan said that I just that idea of
- 16:25misinformation is just like you're labeling things.
- 16:29It's like picking and choosing. You know, you can you can use
- 16:32words to make any one. Kind of sound like an idiot or
- 16:35frame, someone to be an idiot. It just reminds me of like, you
- 16:38know, that People in my family who are you know right-leaning
- 16:42always talk shit about the left and people on the left always
- 16:45talking shit about the right. And it's yeah, that's what they
- 16:47want. They want us fighting.
- 16:49So I don't have too much to add here.
- 16:51Tucker Tucker Carlson is a, you know, said enough in itself.
- 16:55It's the, it's the divide-and-conquer, right?
- 16:57It's it, you hit the nail on the head, right?
- 16:59It's, you know, and we always say this right, people get lost
- 17:02in the sauce and the right and left dichotomy, you know, and
- 17:05they and they don't understand. It's not really Red vs.
- 17:08Blue, it's not a First Republican, it's party of green,
- 17:11which is the party of poverty, disparity slavery, or war and
- 17:17Central Bank. Digital currencies versus the
- 17:19party of Freedom prosperity and Bitcoin, which is the party of
- 17:23Orange, right? That is the future.
- 17:25It's not Red vs. Blue, don't get lost in the
- 17:27sauce. Anyways, my brother.
- 17:30Now we're brothers because we've touched tips and we're going to
- 17:33touch tips about the the real Ben Sessions.
- 17:36Not the Imposter been sessions. We're going to touch tips again,
- 17:41in Canada very soon. What's up dude?
- 17:44What are your thoughts on Tucker's?
- 17:46Comments? I mean if if the government and
- 17:50media wants people to stop entertaining conspiracy
- 17:55theories, they should probably stop conspiring against the
- 18:00people. So, like, when there's a
- 18:02long-standing precedent set of conspiring against your
- 18:08populace, And trying to get them to act certain ways.
- 18:13By disseminating, you know things that are patently false.
- 18:20Then people are inclined to believe just about anything at
- 18:25any point, right? Like when, when you can't trust
- 18:28the institutions that bring you News, the people that govern you
- 18:32and when there's again, a track record of them telling you
- 18:38things that are false Else in order to get you to act a
- 18:42certain way, even if, even if the initial impetus for it was
- 18:48altruistic, oh, we've, you know, maybe somebody.
- 18:52And I'm not saying that this is what it was, but maybe, okay, we
- 18:55want to keep people safe. So, we're going to do this, and
- 18:57we're going to tell them that. If they act in this way, it will
- 19:00keep them safe, and it will prevent certain things from
- 19:02happening. I'm being very vague here, but
- 19:04everything is, so I'm talking about.
- 19:05Anyways, if that Was communicated in a way that was
- 19:13untrue in order to drive certain behaviors.
- 19:18And then people realize that what was said was untrue than
- 19:21they're not going to trust you. And, you know, my wife is a
- 19:24nurse over the past couple years watching everything.
- 19:26Play out saying the communication around, everything
- 19:29was awful. If people had just been honest
- 19:32about what they knew, then a lot of this BS could have been
- 19:36avoided. But anyways, that's Those that's
- 19:40point is no no. It's I think it's, I think
- 19:43you're you hit the nail on the head.
- 19:44Right. I think that if people aren't
- 19:47telling the truth, I think people are just going to go
- 19:50like, okay. What's the famous saying?
- 19:51Fool me once shame on, you fool me twice.
- 19:54Shame on me. Careful.
- 19:59So it's like, you know it these, you know, these Legacy Media
- 20:02institutions, right? Which a lot of people, they put
- 20:04a lot of trust in them. Like it's this is CBS News.
- 20:07This is CNN the Trusted name in news and then years go by and
- 20:11then you're like wait a second. Hold on.
- 20:14What you just said was not true and we're supposed to trust you.
- 20:17And then the guy on TV that doesn't wear, no the guy on
- 20:20Twitter that's not wearing a suit.
- 20:22Is telling me more truth or for example, Joe Rogan the bald guy
- 20:27that knew no comments on the UFC fights is telling me more truth
- 20:32than you this official new source where people going to go
- 20:36to. And I think that's Why you saw
- 20:39the rise of Joe Rogan? I think that's why you see the
- 20:42rise of Independent Media continue to explode like it is
- 20:46and I think that's why Tucker was so popular for for a while
- 20:49because he was saying the quiet part the the quiet Parts out
- 20:53loud. Anyways Opti what's your take on
- 20:55this and then we'll move on to the new segment.
- 20:57Yeah well I kind of want to touch on some of the things that
- 21:01she said, herself, you know, conspiracy consumers.
- 21:04Like what the fuck. That's great.
- 21:06Great branding also, What'd she say, one in three, one in three,
- 21:11Americans believe in the truth, and still have a brain.
- 21:13That's a silver lining. It's a little more bullish than
- 21:15I than I'd kind of would think. If I was looking out at the
- 21:19average person, it seemed like most people just trust the
- 21:21science and the last part of Tucker Carlson.
- 21:25Speech is something. We talk about all the time.
- 21:27Is that The Gatekeepers are transparently, ridiculous?
- 21:30I say this probably every single day.
- 21:32I'm still surprised that people have any sense of legitimacy to
- 21:36any of these corporate institutions in my Nice.
- 21:39I again, I use the same code all the time.
- 21:41I am reminded of the Dave Chappelle as a politician,
- 21:43scared, all the time when I'm saying, politicians and like,
- 21:46that's what I see every single time.
- 21:48And I can't get out of my head, but, I mean, we touched on
- 21:51everything here, you know, divide and conquer trustee
- 21:53experts like since when can we not discuss ideas?
- 21:56Like what kind of collectivist dystopia do we live in?
- 21:59It's literally Orwell's 1984, quote, like, do not trust your
- 22:02eyes and ears, but follow the party line.
- 22:04It's, it's absolutely insane. That this is where we at Peak
- 22:07clown world. Well, probably not Pete, clown
- 22:10world but clown would confirm. And, you know, if you talk
- 22:14amongst friends, guys, straight to the gulag, so here we are.

- 22:20and we are falling back into things.
- 22:24We've seen a lot there. He is all the time in history.
- 22:28It's like we can't even discuss the truth anymore or else your
- 22:32conspiracy theorists. Is it a, is it a gulag episode?
- 22:35I think a long episode. And I think this is the quote
- 22:41that we all believe. What's the difference between
- 22:44conspiracy? Theories and truth?
- 22:46It's only six months, six months.
- 22:47I think now it's down to like three months or something.
- 22:50Maybe three weeks. Like, what is going on?
- 22:52It's accelerating. Oh man, it's accelerating to say
- 22:55the least. Anyways, everybody no more

- 24:13messages and we try to take the time to go through them.
- 24:16Anyways, everybody, let's let's get to the news.
- 24:19I really, I'm really excited because we got some bends in the
- 24:24on the show today and I'm really excited to talk about this on
- 24:27the day that Bitcoin is pumping. And the IMF admits defeat the
- 24:34weak that BlackRock basically said, you know what sec I know
- 24:39what you're doing with coinbase but we're going to file for an
- 24:44ETF anyways and then Fidelity quickly followed suit and these
- 24:47large banks are like will custody Bitcoin on the same
- 24:50week? The IMF I think is finally
- 24:52seeing the writing on the wall. They released a report.
- 24:55So I'm going to get into this article and then we're going to
- 24:57go around the horn says in age. June 22nd report on on Latin
- 25:02America, and the Caribbean. The IMF pointed to various
- 25:05approaches taken by local governments in addressing the
- 25:08adoption of cryptocurrencies and Central Bank, digital
- 25:10currencies. The IMF said, Brazil Argentina
- 25:13Colombia Ecuador, whose government's regulation of
- 25:16crypto was in quote, progress, ranked among the highest
- 25:19countries in the world, for the adoption of digital assets in an
- 25:22effort, to help the unbanked, send faster and cheaper payments
- 25:26and More in addition, according to the fund, most central banks
- 25:29in the region, Agent quote have or are considering adopting
- 25:33digital currencies. Now, why do you think the
- 25:35adoption of Bitcoin is so high in Argentina?
- 25:40Well, a central bank, digital currency doesn't solve the
- 25:43fundamental fucking issue. And the fact that they avoid it
- 25:46so much, I think really points out.
- 25:49The fact that they don't want you to talk about it, Central
- 25:52Bank, digital currencies don't solve the inflation problem.
- 25:56And if you living in Argentina and you're dealing with a
- 25:58hundred fucking percent inflation, it's a problem, it's
- 26:01a big deal. You're, you're gonna have to,
- 26:04you know, decide how am I going to put food on the table for my
- 26:07family, a central bank? Digital currency even It's more
- 26:11of quote-unquote efficient dystopian payments isn't going
- 26:15to maintain your purchasing power and I think that's I think
- 26:18that's a weak point that they don't want to talk about.
- 26:22Anyways it goes on to say quote if well-designed cbc's can
- 26:26strengthen the usability resilience, efficiency of
- 26:29payment systems and increase Financial inclusion, and Latin
- 26:33America. And the Caribbean said the IMF
- 26:35quote, while a few countries have completely banned crypto
- 26:39assets, given their risks Since this approach may not be
- 26:42effective in the long run. The region should instead, focus
- 26:45on addressing the drivers of crypto demand, including
- 26:49citizens unmet, digital payment needs, and on improving
- 26:52transparency by recording crypto asset transactions.
- 26:56In National statistics it again, inflation is not fucking mention
- 27:01there. I wonder why?
- 27:03This is why people are choosing and I'll a different
- 27:06alternative. This is why the adoption rate is
- 27:09so high in Is like Nigeria, which also has a crazy inflation
- 27:13rate. This is why the adoption rate is
- 27:15so high in places like turkey, which also has crazy inflation.
- 27:19It is not because people the citizens have unmet digital
- 27:22payment needs, or they want more fucking transparency is because
- 27:26they're sick and fucking tired of being stolen from.
- 27:29This is what it boils down to like, this is literally, as
- 27:32simple as that, you know, and as much as they fucking Spin and
- 27:36try to tell you, you know, will borrow from the number segment
- 27:39that it's fucking misinformation.
- 27:40Nation. I will still be screaming the
- 27:42shit from the fucking Gulag. I'm tired of using fucking money
- 27:46that steals for me, period. I refuse to go back.
- 27:50I want money that doesn't steal from me.
- 27:52That I could pass on to my children, I want to conserve my
- 27:55work, my time and my energy, then only Bitcoin could do that.
- 27:59And I will say this, even from the gulag.
- 28:01Anyways, I'm gonna pass it on to Ben price and then my brother
- 28:05PTC sessions. Just open open Forum here.
- 28:10I mean, I Yeah. The government really, really
- 28:16fucked up money for all of us. I think.
- 28:17Like, it was, it was incredible. It's incredible that over like,
- 28:22you know, a couple Millennia humans coalesced around the best
- 28:26thing that we had the best thing we could figure out which was
- 28:29gold and we all naturally got there.
- 28:31And and then we just went ahead and decoupled that, you know, we
- 28:35kind of like tried to tried to like improve it with paper money
- 28:39and for a while like you probably was like a decent
- 28:41Improvement. You know you don't have to carry
- 28:43around gold bars and and you know shave off little pieces for
- 28:47your bread and and then we just totally fucked.
- 28:50We basically, you know, shot ourselves in the foot or the,
- 28:53you know, head basically and said, you know what, that 2,000
- 28:58years of, you know, suffering and human Ingenuity that got us
- 29:02to the best money we could find were.
- 29:03Yeah, fuck it all. Like, we're just gonna, we're
- 29:05going to turn it into paper and we're going to start stealing
- 29:08from everyone equally all over the globe and less.
- 29:10I'm one of the lucky, you know, 10 people at the printing press
- 29:13and I think, you know, it's a story we know too well but it's
- 29:17a story that no one else does no one knows what money.
- 29:20No one knows the schools don't teach you that.
- 29:23I was a quote, unquote, economics, major coming out of
- 29:26UNC Chapel Hill. I never, I never even heard of
- 29:29Austrian economics yet, they, you know, gladly gave me a piece
- 29:32of paper, telling me, you know, tell the story about Keynesian
- 29:35economics that, you know, the government knows what they're
- 29:37doing and pull the levers and they can print money.
- 29:39It's all a total sham. Additionally, like, I have some
- 29:44color here, like I worked at visa on their on their core.
- 29:47You know, crypto team and the The only thing that they were
- 29:51really focused on this, and like, n of T, DS, was, was CBD,
- 29:55sees. You had central banks from all
- 29:57over the world calling up Visa calling up?
- 29:59MasterCard asking, you know, what are we doing?
- 30:01Like how is this work China's doing this thing?
- 30:03Like the central came to Doodle currency thing.
- 30:06How should we be thinking about it?
- 30:07And it's coming, like, literally, that's, I think the
- 30:09numbers are now, like 95% of governments have like been
- 30:13testing cdc's, it's definitely coming and, you know, your
- 30:19governments are calling up. Pretty much like evil companies
- 30:23that have been, you know, stealing a percentage Point here
- 30:25or there, you know, for advice on this privacy is not a goal.
- 30:29You know, the end goal is to surveil everything for you to
- 30:34have no concept of cash. No concept of privacy and yeah,
- 30:38like it's it's gonna come like I will see how they try to
- 30:41implement it. I think like Banning cash will
- 30:44probably be step number 1, CB D C's.
- 30:47You know, digital ideas will be step number two, then they're
- 30:49going to start doing. - interest rate policy and they're gonna
- 30:52start just like pulling funds out of your account.
- 30:54Telling you what you can and can't spend it on.
- 30:55But I don't know moral of the story is.
- 30:58Yeah, we government fuck this up really bad.
- 31:00So like you know giving them a second chance at it with like a
- 31:04more surveilled like medium of exchange is not going to work.
- 31:09Like they they had their chance and they royally fucked it up so
- 31:13like you know Bitcoins going to be the answer.
- 31:16We'll see. We'll see how quickly they
- 31:18messes up but it's certainly not.
- 31:20Good 100%. And just to kind of add to your
- 31:24point right there, like I think that they inevitably fucked it
- 31:27up because the incentives were always misaligned.
- 31:30And like if you just look at it from like a historical content
- 31:33like a context, you know, even even if you look at like you
- 31:37know, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire right, you know the
- 31:40Roman Emperor, the emperor is, did they did the same thing,
- 31:43they inflated the money, you know, I mean, it's a money
- 31:46printer. I would probably be printing
- 31:47money to like, I'm right above that.
- 31:49So like it, Kind of just boils down to, maybe, you know, we
- 31:54shouldn't work for money. That another man can create for
- 31:56free, maybe there should be a cost to creating money money,
- 32:00right? And I think, you know, I think
- 32:03Satoshi might have figured that out.
- 32:05Anyways, btz sessions, what's up, bro?
- 32:07What do you? What's on your mind?
- 32:09I mean I just think that this stuff is going to fail so hard.
- 32:12Like I when you get down to the Crux of it.
- 32:15Okay let's let's say they Implement you know we get our
- 32:20DVD. See, is we get our, you know,
- 32:24meet quotas and things like that, you're allowed to spend on
- 32:26this, not on that. If you support something, the
- 32:28government isn't, like, your money doesn't work or anything.
- 32:32Let's say we get to that world. And furthermore, I want to bring
- 32:35up. I saw a tweet earlier for Joy
- 32:36from George Gammon and he was talking about like he has this
- 32:41annual economic report from the be is and they're talking about
- 32:45plans for a global CB DC and he's saying like, oh this is
- 32:49horrifying, they're gonna Say that all private property has
- 32:53legal ownership house cars, stocks, they'll be recorded via
- 32:57tokenization on their unified Ledger, like, and then they're
- 33:01talking about doing this as a global thing and then they set.
- 33:05And then he saying they don't have to make Bitcoin gold and
- 33:08silver and cash illegal. They just won't transfer legal
- 33:11ownership of property. Unless it's paid with money,
- 33:13that has been tokenized and operates within the ecosystem of
- 33:16their unified Ledger. And I think, I think that
- 33:20approach Roach. Is is stupid because thinking
- 33:24practice of people begin to realize that their money is
- 33:29broken. They're not allowed to buy
- 33:30things that that they want with the money that they have.
- 33:34What are they going to do? They're going to go back to
- 33:37local circular economies with money.
- 33:40That works for them me as an individual.
- 33:44That is buying things and living on earning Bitcoin and buying
- 33:48things with it. If if there's a global CB DC
- 33:53system that says, I'm not allowed to have a certain amount
- 33:58of meat or any meat in a certain period of time.
- 34:01That doesn't affect me with my free and open monetary system
- 34:07with the SAS that iron when I go to my local Rancher and I stalk
- 34:11my freezer full of beef, it doesn't affect me when I go to
- 34:15the guy that I that has 20 chickens and pick up my eggs and
- 34:19bring them home and pay him with SATs it with Free and
- 34:22open-source wallet that I use. It doesn't affect me when I
- 34:26build communities with people with like-minded values and we
- 34:30can just transact amongst each other.
- 34:32And I think it's important that Bitcoin is get on that track and
- 34:35that we start just building these.
- 34:36These local circular economies ourselves.
- 34:39Like that's the important thing. Start putting your sound money,
- 34:44where your mouth is and start using it because they want you
- 34:49in that ecosystem where there's Control and they get to dictate
- 34:53how they think the world should be your.
- 34:57You can be outside of that system if you just build that
- 35:01Community go to your local meetups every time at a local
- 35:04meet up, say, hey, I'm looking for this.
- 35:06I'm willing to pay in SAS, you're gonna have either
- 35:09somebody in the room or somebody who knows?
- 35:12A guy that might be up for that and you'll start to forge those
- 35:16relationships. It's people think that we need
- 35:18to like, you know, have some To battle with the government over
- 35:23this. No, you just need to build good
- 35:24relationships with people that are close to you.
- 35:27That's all you need to do and then you are immune 100%, right?
- 35:31Take opt out and take personal responsibility.
- 35:35Take Bitcoin into self, custody and focus on your local
- 35:39communities, right? And that's it.
- 35:41Like you can't really do anything at that point, you
- 35:43know. Of course they could always send
- 35:46you to the gulag but we're not hopefully doesn't get to that
- 35:49point. Anyways.
- 35:50Opti what's What's your take on this before we get to the
- 35:53culture, we're gonna, we're gonna have a special culture
- 35:56today because, you know, we got, we got two guests.
- 35:59So now we're Shilling Bitcoin company hard.
- 36:02Okay now, but guys first joke, gulags going to be Sol it with
- 36:07like all the awesome bitcoiners that are going to be in there.
- 36:10It's going to be like the place to be if you're not in the gulag
- 36:12like you're really just not trying.
- 36:14Did you log into the new Citadel but man so much signal from the
- 36:20band's. I might be You know,
- 36:23capitulating on being an anti been councilmember because
- 36:27there's a lot of signal coming from the bends today so might
- 36:31have to re-evaluate on that one. But two the news Nico it does
- 36:36seem like the IMF is capitulating on bitcoin, they're
- 36:40obviously still kind of no still using the crypto language, but
- 36:45it does seem like the signal is spreading and they at least
- 36:49internally probably know that they can't stop big.
- 36:51Coin, they will still do their best to Gaslight the Normie out
- 36:54there, but it just shows that Bitcoin keeps winning and it's
- 36:59we're not covering it today. But did you guys catch?
- 37:02I know. I know price caught it this
- 37:03morning Fabio Panetta's speech about, you know, having them for
- 37:09Monday, Bro. I did.
- 37:11And it was so much coping that, but it's still, it's the same.
- 37:14It's the same idea where it doesn't matter.
- 37:16What institution is coming out, they're still doing the same
- 37:19thing where they Capitulating on the fact that they can't control
- 37:23Bitcoin. But then they're also doing all
- 37:26kinds of coverage, to make it seem like Bitcoin is a failure.
- 37:29And it's just like, okay, this is where we are in the cycle of
- 37:31this bull run, you know? Just keep the obituaries coming,
- 37:35because Tick Tock next block, Bitcoin doesn't care.
- 37:37And also let's not forget that the FED fed now system is going
- 37:43to be released next month, or at least allegedly is going to be
- 37:45released next month. So like the CBD systems are
- 37:49basically here, obviously. I think it's a little too late.
- 37:52A little too, little too late and they can try to out compete
- 37:55all the bitcoiners, but I think humans, you know, I'm team
- 38:00human. I think that if they are given a
- 38:02fair choice, if they are educated and they know exactly
- 38:05what they're opting into, they will choose Bitcoin over, you
- 38:10know, a CBC system that is surgically controlling every
- 38:14aspect of their life. So, again, just to reiterate the
- 38:17question. Maybe there should be a money
- 38:19with no middleman, but, hey, maybe, B, I'm the extremist
- 38:22here. Deserves to be in the gulag with
- 38:24Nico and yellow. Yeah, bro, and you know, the
- 38:27bends are also welcome in the gulag what will be will be live
- 38:30streaming from the gulag prices already up against the wall.
- 38:34Yeah. Anyways, everybody before we get
- 38:38to the culture segment, you want to make it over the Finish Line
- 38:40with your generation of wealth. You don't want us to make it
- 38:43past the gulag. Yeah.

- 40:19Okay guys. Guys.
- 40:20So I forget when I brought up the fact that I legitimately
- 40:25live off the Bitcoin company and someone in the chat was like, yo
- 40:29can you guys bring someone on from the Bitcoin company?
- 40:32And we can talk about I'm like, well I got the perfect guy.
- 40:35I will bring on the CEO been price so then I know.
- 40:39I know I told you that I can jack mahler's, she'll this but
- 40:42let's let you do the let's let you do the initial jump in.
- 40:47I'll go through some of your screens and stuff.
- 40:48What is the Bitcoin company? The goal.
- 40:51What are you trying to do over here?
- 40:52And then I'll go in and do my little rant on why I think
- 40:55everyone should download this. Yeah.
- 40:58So we've talked a little bit about the circular economy and,
- 41:03you know, we all want to live in a world where you can go to your
- 41:06local coffee, shop and spend Bitcoin, and I think like as
- 41:09Bitcoin as we actually do a really great job supporting
- 41:12companies that, you know, TV, knees or, you know, insert
- 41:15insert like random company that's adopted Bitcoin here.
- 41:18But the reality is today like I'm not every, you know, this
- 41:22this bar that I matter this coffee shop that I'm at, they
- 41:24don't accept Bitcoin yet it's coming.
- 41:27And when when it happens it'll be great.
- 41:29But in the meantime, we need a way to live off your Bitcoin.
- 41:32So there's a couple of companies out there.
- 41:35Everyone kind of fills their Niche.
- 41:36Like you've got, you know, we just heard about Swan they kind
- 41:38of like help you do your dollar cost averaging.
- 41:41There's other companies like us that are focusing on bringing
- 41:45new people into the fold. So it's hard.
- 41:47It's really hard to convince people especially like Day and
- 41:50age to buy Bitcoin and so we help you earn it.
- 41:54We help you like we don't, we don't ask you to give us up your
- 41:58paycheck and, you know, buy Bitcoin by this mysterious token
- 42:02that you don't understand. We just give it to you for free,
- 42:04just like brackets in just like, you know, Discover Card your you
- 42:08know, get you get airline miles or points instead of all that BS
- 42:11we just give you Bitcoin so you can you can buy a Visa card at
- 42:15our on our application you know it's great for the unbanked.
- 42:19You pay with Bitcoin. And you can basically spend your
- 42:23Bitcoin anywhere. And instead of, you know,
- 42:25instead of like paying Swan 1% or paying River or paying strike
- 42:28or paying coinbase, we actually pay you, we give you rewards for
- 42:32sending us your Bitcoin and so are you know, Breadwinner is the
- 42:36Visa card product. You basically send us some
- 42:39Bitcoin you load up up, you know five hundred dollar Visa card
- 42:42and then you add it to your you know, Apple wallet, Google
- 42:45wallet and spend it anywhere. And in essence, you're spending
- 42:47your Bitcoin and you're earning Bitcoin rewards for doing it.
- 42:50We've also got you know two thousand other Merchants, you
- 42:53know you can buy Airbnb, gift cards, you can buy American
- 42:56Airline gift cards. I basically live off my Bitcoin
- 42:59and iron Bitcoin back through our company.
- 43:02One other thing we also rolled out the idea here was like let's
- 43:05just let's just help you earn much Bitcoin as possible for
- 43:08your everyday shopping. So that started with Visa card
- 43:10started with you cards but we just rolled out a new feature.
- 43:14Very similar to Lolly or SATs back where you can now shop.
- 43:17It like 10,000 Brands, just through a website, so, on the
- 43:20on, Online offers section which you see in here, you know,
- 43:23there's so many Brands but like, you know, you can go to fubo TV
- 43:26or Harry and David, or, you know, Sam's Club as long as you
- 43:30dislike shop through our website.
- 43:32We're going to send you, you know, 125 10% back in Bitcoin.
- 43:36So yeah, it's just it's just a great way to earn like you're
- 43:39probably already shopping at Starbucks.
- 43:41You're probably already, you know.
- 43:42And the thing I stack the most on his Airbnb and Uber.
- 43:45So every time I'm like, you know, going to Miami for a
- 43:49conference and I'm booking an The NB I buy a gift card right?
- 43:53I do that online shopping through our app and I've earned
- 43:55like 66 million sets in the last year just on every day shopping.
- 44:00And that's like, that's not actually purchasing Bitcoin,
- 44:02that's just, it's just, you know, using it wisely I guess.
- 44:06So, yeah, that's us opt. He's always always getting on me
- 44:09about not, not showing the company but yeah, we're out here
- 44:13building products and try to get as much going back.
- 44:16You did a great job then might have done better than me, but
- 44:21For the people out there that are very concerned about, you
- 44:25know, KY seeing themselves. I think that's one of the
- 44:28biggest features about the Bitcoin company that I love the
- 44:31most. It is a no kyc option to spend
- 44:33your Bitcoin in real life. And like, I'm not, I'm not
- 44:37saying this, just because you are my friend Ben.
- 44:40I've literally been living off the Bitcoin company app for the
- 44:44last, I don't know, maybe like year, I tap my Apple pay.
- 44:50I go and that's how I've been pretty much surviving.
- 44:54I tried to sell as minimal Bitcoin is possible.
- 44:57And downloading this app, buying the Visa credit cards and going
- 45:02straight into Apple pay to, you know, tap at the grocery store
- 45:06is literally how I've been surviving lately.
- 45:08Like, I'm not just saying this and chilling my friends product
- 45:11because he's my friend. I shall it because I love this
- 45:13company. This is one of my, one of my
- 45:15favorite companies, because I'm surviving off of it, bro, and
- 45:18kudos to you. I think you guys are killing it.
- 45:20Did we do we need to cover some more stuff on the Bitcoin
- 45:22company? I actually, like, I kind of want
- 45:25to bounce it off of been of btz sessions been and then we'll go
- 45:30back to the Bitcoin company. Then you make a fuck ton of
- 45:34tutorials, dude, what's it? Like, you know, I know that
- 45:38you've gone down this rabbit hole, it's hard to live on a
- 45:41Bitcoin standard, isn't it? It, I mean, you're obviously
- 45:45jumping through more Hoops than just living on a Fiat standard,
- 45:49but at the end of the day, Like, it's an ideological thing.
- 45:53And, you know, I'd rather be living on a sound money standard
- 45:59and, and having a few extra things that I do in order to
- 46:02achieve that because like, I don't want to use, I don't want
- 46:09to use like like you so often say, I don't want to use money
- 46:13that I have to work for that. Somebody else can create for
- 46:16free and so, you know, sure I'm all go through the trouble.
- 46:20Rubble of, you know, getting taking my money and getting gift
- 46:23card so that I can then use it in Fiat world for a period of
- 46:26time. That's totally fine.
- 46:27It also changes your perspective in that you start thinking about
- 46:31your purchasing more more clearly because when he was just
- 46:36dollars, it's like whatever. Let's get rid of these.
- 46:39These are these useless pieces of paper.
- 46:41But when when it's Bitcoin you like, do I need this?
- 46:45Do I need to spend these SAS, I don't know and so Actually I did
- 46:51a video on the Bitcoin company when I think shortly after you
- 46:55guys first launch. Yeah, that's how we knew we made
- 46:58it. Yeah.
- 47:00Also, I'm still like, I was just looking, I'm still getting like,
- 47:04you know, 69 SATs coming in like every every day or something
- 47:08from different people like use, I guess looking at the tutorial
- 47:11and sign up with the link that I did.
- 47:13But yeah, I had a question about the the Visa card thing because
- 47:17I know it might be different from from, Canada to the US to
- 47:21all that stuff. So when, when you're doing the
- 47:24Visa card things, is it like it's a singular prepaid card.
- 47:29Once it depletes, then you purchase like an entirely new
- 47:32card with a new number. Is that how it works?
- 47:34Yes. So there's yes.
- 47:36The answer is yes, it's a, it's a single load card.
- 47:40The main reason being like they've they've clamped down on
- 47:43just about every way to either buy Bitcoin with no kyc or sell
- 47:48Bitcoin with no kyc. So we're like, A real solution.
- 47:51As a kyc free off ramp. You can almost think of us as an
- 47:54exchange instead of selling your Bitcoin.
- 47:56At, you know, your exchange of choice and then wiring it to
- 47:59your bank account and then having access to it, you know,
- 48:02debit card. You can essentially just send us
- 48:04Bitcoin and instantly have a debit card.
- 48:06But the reason the reason it's structured, the way it is, is
- 48:09because it's frankly fincen. There's a stored value
- 48:12exemption. It's like one of the last ways
- 48:14that you can kind of use money with no kyc, other than cash and
- 48:18they say, as long as you sell, And dollar Visa cards that are
- 48:21non reloadable. There's like a bunch of these
- 48:24little caveats, and one of the main ones is non reloadable,
- 48:27then you can do it without, you know, a bunch of extra
- 48:30information and people's IDs and stuff.
- 48:32So you know, that we're just following the rules, I can sell
- 48:35you, I can sell you ten, one thousand dollar Visa card today,
- 48:38but if I sell you a 1001 dollar card, nope, I need your ID.
- 48:42And if you can reload it, if you can put $10 on it, at the end of
- 48:46the day extra the nope, I need kyc.
- 48:49So, you know, if The rules, you know, 10 foot 10 foot walls,
- 48:52make 11-foot ladders in this case.
- 48:54It's a nine foot ladder for a 10-foot wall but you know, we're
- 48:56just staying below that threshold.
- 48:58I love that. So and then just to just to go
- 49:00back, fucking good. All right.
- 49:04Can you meet me later when I host a show with five of us?
- 49:08What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
- 49:10I don't know. Last names last names only.
- 49:12Okay price price. Okay.
- 49:16So very, very interesting. I love how you talked about You
- 49:20know, the the rules and regulation stuff about how it
- 49:24look. If it's over a thousand dollars,
- 49:26that's not okay. You could buy multiple cards but
- 49:30I and that honestly, it and I, by the way, it's not just Opti
- 49:33who's, you know, who's a big fan and actual user of your company,
- 49:37I use it as well. I think it's a great freaking
- 49:40solution because you don't have to go through all the Hoops that
- 49:44you normally would right? And I just want to highlight
- 49:48that to to everybody if you Want to live on a Bitcoin standard,
- 49:53check out the Bitcoin company. They're great great solution to
- 49:56this. They make it, they make it very,
- 49:58very easy to live on, on a Bitcoin standard.
- 50:01And this is the use the promo code simply.
- 50:03I just, I just promo code, I didn't even know about it.
- 50:12So let's see. We've got a lot of cool features
- 50:25enabled so you can put in your address and immediately
- 50:27withdrawal like all your rewards.
- 50:29But yeah, I get sick of the Fudd.
- 50:32When people say like it's hard to live off Bitcoin, it's really
- 50:34not that hard like you can mean after because you made a fucking
- 50:37easy, dude. Yeah, I've dropped like all my
- 50:40bank accounts. I have, I only have the coin and
- 50:43when I need, you know, a little bit of spending money.
- 50:46I just loaded up on a Visa card and, you know, the you don't
- 50:49have to have any information. And you don't have to have a
- 50:51bank account. It's really not that hard
- 50:54anymore these days but I agree. As long as you can tap, I am off
- 50:58McCoy agree. I agree with you on an
- 51:00individual level. So like on an individual level
- 51:03you, it's totally viable not on a business level, there's no
- 51:06fucking way. There's we've got, we've got
- 51:08businesses that have like, fully switched to a Bitcoin standard
- 51:10and they like pay their employees with art with our Visa
- 51:13cards, really pay their employees with Bitcoin.
- 51:15And we give them special rates on, on their cards.
- 51:18Like it's more do. Well, I mean there's especially
- 51:21if your Bitcoin only company. I know like Peach Bitcoin out
- 51:23here. They don't have a bank account
- 51:25and they take all their investor money with Bitcoin.
- 51:27Like it's it's getting there and, you know, I think, I think
- 51:32we're not too far out before. Like there's, there's some real
- 51:35solutions and like in Merchants are really adopting it like up
- 51:39and down the supply stream. So, in the meantime, like this
- 51:43solves, just about every purchase you could make like, I
- 51:46again, I I went from Texas to like Las Is the other way only
- 51:51living on these. Like I did it, I bought my
- 51:53airline with it. I bought my Uber with it.
- 51:55I bought my coffee with it and then you know, the random
- 51:57purchases that, you know, little stores here.
- 51:59There, you just have a Visa card for.
- 52:01So it's a, it's a before we go on I want to say on this same
- 52:05point. I literally drove from
- 52:07California to Texas. Using the Visa pay Apple cards
- 52:12and bought gas all the way across the state.
- 52:14So that was my, that was my question, right?
- 52:16So, it's because I was thinking was like, do you have to, you
- 52:19have to Male the physical cards every time?
- 52:21No, no. You get a digital Visa card.
- 52:23You upload it to your Apple pay and you can tap with your phone
- 52:27and then bobbing, yeah, I don't even get, I don't have a
- 52:31physical one. I should get a physical one, but
- 52:33yeah, exactly. Okay, but it's a little bit over
- 52:45here price, but someone's asking, can you use the digital
- 52:48visas or the physical Visa? The pay bills on PayPal we like
- 52:53it's hit or miss with certain Merchants.
- 52:55I know these cards cannot be used to withdraw cash at an ATM
- 52:59and buy this in the same vein. They probably can't be used on
- 53:03PayPal but I'm not positive. In fact we had we had someone do
- 53:07a hack, the other day where they I know that you can't Pay Pal,
- 53:10actually does accept it because that what they did is they sent
- 53:13they sent funds like via friends and family.
- 53:16I think PayPal is some sort of setting where you can like pay
- 53:18other people so they almost like I paid a merchant that was
- 53:21accepting via PayPal and then their friend just sent them the
- 53:24money back and then they went through, I guess it's a good
- 53:26little hat but yeah I think I think like you can use it on
- 53:29PayPal. You probably can't like
- 53:31specifically load up your own digital wallet but I know you
- 53:34can pay other people but yeah we've got we also got a few more
- 53:38things coming. Like, we're going to have Euro
- 53:39cards, Canadian dollar Cards, British pound cards were working
- 53:43on a Yin card and so these will avoid all the international fees
- 53:47and then we actually just spun up an entity in Brazil.
- 53:50We're going to be doing yeah similar to how like bit knob
- 53:52and, you know, doing remittances to Africa.
- 53:55We're going to be doing like kind of instant remittance
- 53:58payments to both Mexico and Brazil very soon so yeah.
- 54:01We're trying to build it all man and then you know pretty soon
- 54:04we'll be launching a non-custodial exchange so you
- 54:07know we let you stack SATs in earn rewards and pretty soon.
- 54:11Well, well actually let you purchase and sell Bitcoin if you
- 54:14want but again like watch sell it when you you probably selling
- 54:18it to spend it and you know, Know why?
- 54:20Wait, like a day to have your? You know why pay a percent?
- 54:23And then why are your funds to your bank account?
- 54:25And then be able to spend it when you can just like blow it
- 54:27on a card today. Very, very cool man.
- 54:30Love it. All right, all right, Nico very
- 54:32quick before we get into the memes because price also works
- 54:36on another very important company called open set.
- 54:39So let's talk about open sets right quick.
- 54:41And then we'll get into the memes.
- 54:44Awesome. Yeah.
- 54:46Open sets was something I started when I was actually at
- 54:49Visa because I was sick of working on CBD season.
- 54:52So I always hated as a kid when I saw like Charities that were
- 54:58taking a bunch of money and you know, quote-unquote nonprofit
- 55:01but they were just paying themselves.
- 55:03So what open sets really lets you do, is it tries to support,
- 55:06you know, the open-source contributors that are working on
- 55:09bitcoin and other open source tools and yeah.
- 55:14Like we have a two, two big things about is one where 100%
- 55:18pass through. So every dollar you give for
- 55:20every sat you give goes straight through to the people working on
- 55:23bitcoin. And then we also, we have a
- 55:26great board. I'm not sure if they're listed
- 55:29there on the site but you know, it also nine-person Board of
- 55:31like hardcore bitcoiners me. Myself.
- 55:34Gigi, you know, Al a nude red Odell Nifty nvk, tons of awesome
- 55:39people, James, Ozark, or Dev Janine, privacy expert.
- 55:43But yeah, you can go To our website, you can pick and choose
- 55:45a project like BTC pay or Zeus wallet, or you can just give to
- 55:49our general fund and the board will try and allocate it to our
- 55:53to our best ability and yeah, you can, you can write it off on
- 55:56your taxes. So instead of paying, you know,
- 55:58the tax man, that no one wants to pay, you can donate to cede
- 56:02signer donate to Craig. It's parallel or thunder Hub and
- 56:06like, actually support the people building on top of
- 56:08Bitcoin. And yeah, we've been lucky
- 56:10enough to receive some, some big donations lately.
- 56:14GG is now running the organization full-time.
- 56:17The website is that he's actually working right now on a
- 56:19V2 of the website where we're very quietly in the background
- 56:22working and everything. But we're about to announce like
- 56:25I think 10 or 15 huge grants where you know, thinking about
- 56:29things long-term. So there will be like some
- 56:31long-term grants to bitcoin core contributors and then you know,
- 56:34a ton of Noster grants coming out.
- 56:36We try to stay quiet about it until we deliver, but I'm pretty
- 56:39sure our ETA here is to start releasing some stuff in the
- 56:43next. Week or so.
- 56:44So you'll hear about it organically.
- 56:45We're going to start giving away a ton of money to you know
- 56:49Bitcoin core contributors and Noster or people building on
- 56:52Nasser projects. So basically if you're if you
- 56:55want to give back to the people that are that are supporting
- 56:58these tools and technologies that you're using, this is a
- 57:01great way to do it. And if you are building on open
- 57:03source, you know, if you're if you're a Bitcoin core
- 57:06maintainer, if you're you know, a code reviewer, If You're
- 57:09Building open source projects, you should come apply for a
- 57:12grant or at the very least, get yourself.
- 57:13It listed on the website so people can people can donate to
- 57:17you and you know kind of write it off on their taxes as a
- 57:19charity but yeah I appreciate all the support out there.
- 57:22We wouldn't be able to do it without the community so it's
- 57:25freaking awesome dude I love, I love, you know, you're fighting

- 59:56stuff. While Maxis Club did it play on
- 59:59this? And we got a shit corner here
- 1:00:00and it goes, we're all in the same boat and the toxic Bitcoin

- 1:00:49fall of the Roman Empire and the Yugoslavia Circa, 1990 s.

- 1:03:50make you full screen. I already forgot already kind of
- 1:03:54forgot what they were, but it should be
- 1:04:11Cheering do there. So I'll give that a 5 out of 10.
- 1:04:15Rope devastated. Yeah, the the Venn diagram it
- 1:04:19was actually okay, but Opti trying to explain the diagram.
- 1:04:30Yeah, it's not your fault, but Rags.
