Transcript
- 0:11Yo, welcome to Simply Bitcoin live your number one source for
- 0:13the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution would cover breaking news
- 0:15culture. Matic Warfare will be your guide
- 0:17through the separation of money and state and that's exactly
- 0:20what we are living through these days.
- 0:24Very interesting times came out CNN BBC article by Mackenzie
- 0:29Seagal. Oh, she's absolutely killing it
- 0:32the name of the article which were going to cover today.
- 0:33We're going to go through a lot of it because it's fascinating
- 0:36Bitcoin is posed to blow up Africa's 86 billion.
- 0:40Dollar banking system now what's really interesting and we say
- 0:43this all the time right? We say Bitcoin is for those
- 0:47countries. Why because if you live, you
- 0:49know, Alex Clyde seen wrote a book about this, right?
- 0:52If you live in a country that has Financial privilege to use
- 0:57Alex's words, right whether you know, that's United States
- 1:01Europe, you know, you could even say China Australia you have
- 1:06developed Financial rails in your country, right?
- 1:08So it's very easy to send money. You could do download venmo cash
- 1:12Shop PayPal and it's very, very easy.
- 1:16But you know, if you live in the global South right, whether you
- 1:20know it, South America Africa, you don't have those options,
- 1:24right? Your only option is cash, right?
- 1:26You know, there's security risks is cash, right?
- 1:29So Bitcoin is for them, Bitcoin makes it easy to not only send
- 1:33money, but also store money that is deflationary nature, meaning
- 1:38it gains in purchasing power over time, rather than
- 1:40Inflationary, right. And remember, in the global
- 1:43South, they don't have the privilege of having a relatively
- 1:47stable fiat currency. They have a currency that is,
- 1:51you know, it's terrible. Look at Argentina 99 percent
- 1:55inflation recorded last time, right?
- 1:58So anyways, everybody before we start the show I'm going to
- 2:00bring up my legendary co-host. Always optimistic how you doing

- 5:20Interesting interesting. We have they came out with a
- 5:25trailer for The u.s. Version of the, the beginning of
- 5:29a central bank, digital currencies.
- 5:31I'm talking about the FED now, payment, that suspiciously was
- 5:34released around the same time. That Caitlin Long's, Bank was
- 5:38denied, a Federal Banking Charter, we have the video for
- 5:41you guys. About three minutes long, let me
- 5:42play and then we'll talk about the check it out.
- 5:47In today's fast-paced world, time is money, more people,
- 5:51businesses and organizations are demanding instant payments.
- 5:55That's why the Federal Reserve is developing the fed and out
- 5:58service a safe and efficient, instant payments infrastructure
- 6:02that will modernize the US payment system.
- 6:05The federal service will give financial institutions the
- 6:08opportunity to innovate, enabling their customers to send
- 6:11and receive money in s 24 hours a day. 7 days a week, 365 days a
- 6:17year. Funds will settle between
- 6:19financial institutions in real time, which means there's no
- 6:22buildup of interbank obligations and end users will have access
- 6:26to the funds in seconds, how will the FED now service work?
- 6:31Imagine the owner of a coffee shop is running low.
- 6:33On coffee beans. It needs to schedule a quick
- 6:35delivery, she places an order and the Coffee Bean company.
- 6:38Sends her a request for payment. Should response to the request
- 6:42for payment and paste for the coffee beans, right?
- 6:44Then, and there through an app from her credit union, which
- 6:46uses the Fed now service once she initiates the payment, her
- 6:51credit union, screens to payment and sends a nice 020 020, to
- 6:54compliant payment message either directly or through a service
- 6:57provider to the federal service over the federal reserve's fed
- 7:00line Network, the FED now service instantly validates, the
- 7:03payment, message and passes it along to the Coffee Bean,
- 7:06suppliers Bank in real-time, the suppliers Bank confirms to the
- 7:10FED now service that it intends to accept the payment and the
- 7:13federal service debits and credits.
- 7:14To master accounts of both the shop owners and the Being
- 7:17suppliers financial institutions or the master accounts of their
- 7:20correspondence. The federal service also
- 7:23immediately sends a payment message with an advice of credit
- 7:26to the suppliers bank and notifies the shop owners Credit
- 7:29Union, that settlement is complete.
- 7:31Finally, the suppliers Bank credits, the suppliers account
- 7:34in near real time, making the funds available, the suppliers
- 7:38bank will have the option of sending a confirmation to the
- 7:40shop owners Credit Union, that the payment has been posted to
- 7:43the suppliers account, providing the coffee shop owner with
- 7:46certainty, that the payment was has received the FED.
- 7:49Now service will be designed to be flexible and support.
- 7:51A broad range of potential. Use cases banks credit unions
- 7:55and other industry providers can use it as a springboard for
- 7:58Innovation to support a range of applications such as account, to
- 8:01account transfers, and bill pay, for example, now imagine it's
- 8:06after hours and the shop owner gets a reminder that her car
- 8:09insurance bill is due. Today, she may be able to avoid
- 8:12a late fee by initiating a bill payment in her Credit, Union app
- 8:15and selecting to pay it now. Later she repays a friend for a
- 8:19pizza, they shared using an app provided by her credit union.
- 8:22That clears and settles through the FED now service with this
- 8:27Service banks and Credit Unions can remain competitive by
- 8:30offering the type of payment options customers increasingly
- 8:33expect in today's fast-paced world.
- 8:35The FED now service will support flexible.
- 8:37Adoption allowing financial institutions.
- 8:39The option to work with aggregators processors and
- 8:42correspondence to adopt a service.
- 8:46Banks and Credit Unions will also have the option to adopt a
- 8:48full set of fed. Now, capabilities or sign on as
- 8:52a receive only participant. The initial launch of the
- 8:54federal service will focus on core clearing and settlement
- 8:57capabilities. Additional features will be
- 8:59released in phases to meet evolving industry, demands and
- 9:02changes in technology. Get ready for the FED.
- 9:05Now service, learn more at fed now.org.
- 9:13Oh sorry I fell asleep. Holy shit.
- 9:15Was that fucking meme terrible? What the fuck was that bro?
- 9:19Anyways it sure sounded a lot like Bitcoin.
- 9:22But you know what they try to do.
- 9:24They tried to this is and I want you guys to remember this
- 9:26because it's very important. They try to justify the
- 9:29existence of intermediaries, they need those intermediaries
- 9:33without those intermediaries. They can't control it, right?
- 9:36So all of those things that that was, that that just Advocate to
- 9:40look at, look at all the things that we could do.
- 9:41Do you know, someone put, we're ISO compliant.
- 9:45You could do all of those things peer-to-peer, you could do all
- 9:48of those things with Bitcoin and there's a fabulous Bitcoin
- 9:51companies that are innovating and building that stuff, right?
- 9:56You don't need that, right? It's the reason that that's
- 9:59necessary is because they need, intermediaries, they need that
- 10:03without the intermediaries, their ability to control the
- 10:06money. Flows does not exist anymore and
- 10:09they can't, they can't say that they can't say.
- 10:11Can't go out and say look peer-to-peer bad.
- 10:17You need a bank in the middle or you need, you need institution
- 10:19that we can capture, right? So this is interesting, make no
- 10:22mistake. This is a response to bitcoin.
- 10:27This is a response. They want to get ahead of this,
- 10:30right? And also make no mistake that
- 10:33now we say this all the time and I think it's a very big problem.
- 10:37The people that are supposed to regulate the industry, Also are
- 10:42the people that stand the most to lose if this industry or
- 10:46succeeds, right? So politicians.
- 10:51Benefit tremendously from having a money printer.
- 10:55They can, you know, promised their voters.
- 10:58Our constituents free programs that we all know are really
- 11:02free, right? Endless Wars the defense
- 11:05industry. Right?
- 11:07The whole, you know, some people call it, the Deep State.
- 11:09I personally called the, administrative States right up
- 11:11in your face, that whole system. Is funded by the money printer,
- 11:19right? Why is it that politicians that
- 11:21have a, you know, politicians salary are worth tens of
- 11:24millions of dollars? Why is that the case, right?
- 11:27So remember Bitcoin is providing an alternative to that system.
- 11:32So like obviously that system is going to try to fight back.
- 11:35This is one iteration of that fight back, right?
- 11:39We also have the Elizabeth Warren, the restrict act, right?
- 11:43So we have a lot of fronts, right?
- 11:45A lot of things going on, but we say it in the very beginning of
- 11:49the show, this is the separation of money and state you are
- 11:52watching it first hand, right? How do you protect yourself
- 11:56against this from this takes off custody.
- 11:59That's what you do. You just take self, custody your
- 12:01Bitcoin, you buy Bitcoin earn Bitcoins Bitcoin take that
- 12:04Bitcoin put in self custody you know properly secure your seed
- 12:08phrase and that's how we went. If enough people do just that
- 12:12what I just said we win and there's absolutely Nothing they
- 12:16could do about it, right? All they have is lies,
- 12:20misrepresentations and spin. Do you guys remember the
- 12:23European Central Bank meme? That came out yesterday.
- 12:27The one that Christine Lagarde had to release because she was
- 12:30tired of Opti out. Meaning memeing her, right?
- 12:32You guys remember that? Basically saying that inflation
- 12:36is caused because workers are asking for more money.
- 12:40You peasants, you're asking for more money, you are the ones
- 12:43responsible for inflation, not us.
- 12:45The central bank, they have fucking lies, that's all they
- 12:49have lies spin Miss representations.
- 12:52We have truth on our side, right?
- 12:54All we have to do is shine shine, the bright light of
- 12:58Bitcoin on their bullshit and keep in mind, right?
- 13:02Don't get distracted by the political divisions of both
- 13:05parties at least here in the US or anywhere around the world.
- 13:08It's not a left or right issue. I said it yesterday, I tweeted
- 13:11it out. This is a green verse orange
- 13:13issue, right? So don't get.
- 13:15Distracted by the Fiat political parties or the Fiat political
- 13:20ideologies here for orange or your for green.
- 13:24If your, for green, you want to control people, if you're for
- 13:27orange your freedom, it's literally as simple as that,
- 13:31don't try to overcomplicate it, they're going to try to overcome
- 13:34but they're going to try to spin it, they're going to say no
- 13:36there's more Nuance, you know, terrorism Financial, you know
- 13:41like money laundering, all this fucking bullshit.
- 13:43All these smokescreens remember that?
- 13:45Use Tick-Tock in order to justify the so-called Tick-Tock
- 13:50ban, which is called the restrict act, which had a lot
- 13:54more things in it rather than just Tick Tock they needed the
- 13:57smokescreen. They needed the smokescreen in
- 14:00order to justify tyranny, right? Anyways, Opti, what are your
- 14:04thoughts on all this, bro? Well hold on, hold on.
- 14:08Wait where is this? Jose Jose dude, I've had like
- 14:11four coffees already, dude, like I'm good.
- 14:13Thank you. Thank you for the concern.
- 14:15No. I think the chat killed it on
- 14:17this one, you know me. I'm the one always following,
- 14:20what the chat is saying live. And the chat, hit the nail on
- 14:24the head. Why were the dollar symbols
- 14:26Orange? It's because they're trying to
- 14:28be Bitcoin. They're trying to justifies the
- 14:30centralized Authority, that is the Central Bank, the FED now,
- 14:34and maybe maybe it was, you know, like a Freudian slip in
- 14:38the art or maybe it was, you know, completely intentional.
- 14:41But they were making the dollar symbols Orange.
- 14:44It's almost like they're trying to To co-op the Bitcoin message.
- 14:47And what have we said in the past Bitcoin has forced to
- 14:50conversation and they would have probably never tried to roll out
- 14:54fed now CBC system. It Bitcoin didn't exist it would
- 14:57just continue to go back into the status quo.
- 15:02Just continue to repeat the game you know as one Fiat crumbles
- 15:05they'll just spin up another one.
- 15:06This is this is basically the Fiat system but it's very
- 15:10interesting that even in their propaganda piece they are using
- 15:14the orange color. Things that make you say, hmm.
- 15:18Anyways again the chat killed it by pointing out that all they
- 15:23keep talking about is is faster. Digital payments.
- 15:26Like this is not what Bitcoins about most of us here.
- 15:30Most of us Bitcoin is all we really want to do is just save
- 15:33in a money that doesn't steal from us.
- 15:35Like it's very simple. It's a very simple process.
- 15:37What do we ask you guys every single day?
- 15:40Why are we being forced to use a money that steals from us?
- 15:43Why is a small cabal of people? In control of the money supply,
- 15:47this is not how it should be or could be because we have
- 15:51Bitcoin. And again I really liked what
- 15:53you said Nico they are going to complicate this issue.
- 15:57Keep it simple provide value saving Bitcoin, take Bitcoin
- 16:01into self, custody and repeat the process.
- 16:03This is all we really want to do is hold a money that doesn't
- 16:06steal from us, so that we can build and prosper in the future.
- 16:10It's simple as this 21 million, Bitcoins hard cap.
- 16:13It's not about faster, payments, and fun about It'll payments, it
- 16:17is much more and Bitcoin. Is that solution?
- 16:20I just want any money that doesn't steal from me.
- 16:22It's a very simple process guys. I know they're going to try to
- 16:25conflate the two and complicate things and make us all be
- 16:30criminals or whatever they want to paint us as but it's a very
- 16:33simple thing. I just want any money that
- 16:35doesn't steal from me. And as long as they avoid that
- 16:39simple topic of it's all about savings and holding a hard
- 16:43money. Then, you know, that they are
- 16:45just trying. To co-op the, the Bitcoins
- 16:47message, and the signal. And again, the chat, hit the
- 16:51nail on the head. Why was the dollar Orange?
- 16:53It's because they're trying to be Bitcoin and it just, it'll
- 16:57never be Bitcoin because they have a central Authority,
- 16:59they're just trying to justify their existence.
- 17:04Hundred percent. They're trying to justify their
- 17:05existence or trying to justify the existence, or the necessity
- 17:10of intermediaries, right? Anyways, before we move on to

- 18:44Alright everybody so we always hear, you know we always hear
- 18:47one of the the Legacy mainstream media's like talking points.
- 18:50They you know they talk a lot about you know, how 9 bouquet
- 18:54Lee is a danger to democracy, right?
- 18:58And you guys know the deal. We are a political and simply
- 19:01Bitcoin, you know, we don't really talk.
- 19:03Talk about politics because I think they're, you know, they're
- 19:06stupid to be honest with you. I think if you really want to
- 19:09effectuate change you gotta opt out of the system entirely and
- 19:13put your money in Bitcoin. But I do want to talk about what
- 19:17happened yesterday because of the Legacy Media.
- 19:21The corporate media are we like to call it.
- 19:23The, the Fiat, the Fiat media, how they treated El Salvador,
- 19:28right? They said you know I'll name
- 19:30you. Kayla's a threat to democracy
- 19:32even though nine buchelli Has the most the highest approval
- 19:36rating in Latin America. They got to a point where they
- 19:39said that because 9 bouquet lays is locking gang members in
- 19:43prison. That is somehow a threat to
- 19:45democracy as well. We've heard that narrative many,
- 19:48many times. Well, you know, of past
- 19:51presidents. Donald Trump was indicted by a
- 19:54Manhattan grand jury. I'm more than 30 counts related
- 19:58to fraud now. However, which way you feel
- 20:01about Donald Trump, I think it's totally irrelevant.
- 20:03But what is relevant is the fact that the pop V you know most
- 20:10popular political opponent against the B Administration
- 20:13which is charged with the crime, right?
- 20:15And that's what happens in countries that you know, our
- 20:19so-called don't have stable democracies, right?
- 20:22So it's interesting, it's very, very interesting, right?
- 20:26You know, that these Publications are talking about,
- 20:29you know, El Salvador, the way they are.
- 20:31Even though, you know, in a country that is Supposedly, you
- 20:35know, you know, supposedly is the Bastion of democracy just
- 20:39charge, just, just charge the, you know, the the front-runner,
- 20:44the FrontRunner for the opposition with the crime.
- 20:47So here is nine bouquet LA and he says the best rice says,
- 20:51sadly, it will very hard for u.s. foreign policy to use
- 20:54arguments such as democracy and Free Fair elections or try to
- 20:57condemn political persecutions in other countries from now on.
- 21:01Right. And he retweeted of course, And,
- 21:04you know, you know, you know, Donald Trump getting charged
- 21:08with the crime. So I wanted to start with that
- 21:10because I thought it was very, very interesting.
- 21:12Now, moving on to the non, right?
- 21:16Which is, I think the thing that I wanted to talk about today and
- 21:19again, remember, you know what, it reminds me of Opti 9 bouquet
- 21:23is very, very famous article, right?
- 21:26What was it called again? I totally forget, don't drink
- 21:28the elites, go and drink the elite school aid, and it
- 21:30literally specifically, says, like the thing that they have.
- 21:34The control on truth, right? And I think that's really the,
- 21:38you know, I think that's really the message there, right?
- 21:41Is that you know it doesn't matter that you know, other
- 21:45countries are, you know, it's basically being total
- 21:50Hypocrites, you know, as long as as long as the, the
- 21:55powers-that-be, the incumbents are the ones with the narrative,
- 21:58it's totally okay. And I think that is total effing
- 22:03BS. It It is BS, bro. 100%, anyways,
- 22:06I wanted to cover I wanted to cover and again, regardless of
- 22:12your political ideology, it doesn't doesn't matter.
- 22:15Like we don't, we don't really, we literally do not care about
- 22:18that. I think it's I think it's BS,
- 22:20right? When the Republicans get in
- 22:22power, it's like oh the Democrats and the Democrats are
- 22:25like the Republicans are the cause of all your woes and then
- 22:27when the Democrats get in power the Republicans do literally the
- 22:30exact same thing, right? If we actually want to fix What
- 22:34is going on? You got to fix the money.
- 22:36Fix the money, fix the world. That's what we want to stay
- 22:38focused on and that's why they attacked 9 buchelli.
- 22:42The way they did. It has nothing to do with
- 22:44democracy. It has to do with the fact that
- 22:479 bouquet Lake chose to use a money that is out of the
- 22:51established power system, out of the controls of the IMF out of
- 22:56the control of the World Bank. And that is why they went after
- 22:59him and they're using every single tool possible.
- 23:02Any single narrative that will? Oh, stick.
- 23:06To go after him. That's what is about.
- 23:09El Salvador is a Bastion of Freedom.
- 23:11It is literally The Shining Light On The Hill people that
- 23:14left Central America, for years and years are going back to
- 23:19Central America to go back to El Salvador.
- 23:22That is unheard of, that has never happened before and people
- 23:26are noticing. We played you the video of Tim
- 23:29pool talking about it yesterday. And I think that next cycle 2024
- 23:352025, I've it will be undeniable, you will not be able
- 23:40to deny what is happening in El Salvador.
- 23:45And you will also end in public companies.
- 23:47Will not also will not be able to deny what is happening with
- 23:51Michael sailor in microstrategy proving that Bitcoin is a viable
- 23:55alternative to holding Fiat on your balance sheet.
- 23:59Anyways, I want to focus on this today.
- 24:01It is a pretty long article. I want to give a shout-out also
- 24:04to Mackenzie Seagal. Owes she continues to drop
- 24:06amazing, amazing stuff. So the headline of the article
- 24:09CNN BBC for audio listeners is Bitcoin is posed to blow up
- 24:13Africa's 80s. Six billion dollar banking
- 24:15system. It goes on to say Jack Dorsey
- 24:18and his top brass descend on Accra for the inaugural Africa,
- 24:22Bitcoin conference Ember to talk about one of the most
- 24:25potentially disruptive and transformative alternatives to
- 24:28the continents existing Financial system.
- 24:30Bitcoin this parallel Financial system, can also serve a
- 24:33tangible, social good. Offering an on-ramp to the
- 24:36financial system for people who would otherwise be left out in
- 24:40countries. Where the vast majority of the
- 24:41population is unbanked National Currencies are no longer a safe
- 24:45store of value, remittances compromise comprised, a hefty
- 24:50portion of GDP and international sanctions, complicate
- 24:54connections to the global economy.
- 24:56A virtual currency that doesn't require an intermediary.
- 24:58To approve transactions, can be a vital Lifeline for survival.
- 25:02It goes on to say, moving money in Africa, as an expensive and
- 25:05complicated process, Commercial Bank, branch access is limited.
- 25:10Especially for people living in remote and rural areas, digital
- 25:13banking. Options are also limited tack on
- 25:16rampant, hyperinflation widespread government
- 25:19corruption, Capital controls trapping, domestic cash in Banks
- 25:22and money. Can't stop making sense,
- 25:24altogether can stop making sense, altogether, quote, if
- 25:27someone wants to move money to the country next door, normally,
- 25:30you'd have to fill up a suitcase, full of cash and move
- 25:33it over the Border part of the problem stands from the
- 25:36continents quasi, Colonial payment framework and which
- 25:39roughly 80% of cross-border, payments originating from
- 25:43Africa. Can banks are processed offshore
- 25:46mostly in the US or Europe that translates to higher cost and
- 25:49processing times that are sometimes measured in weeks.
- 25:52Then there's then there's my mobile money which has been
- 25:56around since the early 2000s. Think of it like an electronic
- 25:59wallet tied to a phone number that does not require a
- 26:02smartphone or data to operate users.
- 26:05Can pay bills and Shop with their phone through SMS texting.
- 26:09Instead of having to rely on traditional banking options,
- 26:12mobile Mobile money users. Don't get the perks of Legacy
- 26:16banking, including earning interest on banks savings and
- 26:20building our base, on the history of spending
- 26:22interoperability on the content. Also remains a major issue with
- 26:26this alternative way of banking, the entire banking system in
- 26:30Africa, completely and utterly broken, even amongst the mobile
- 26:33money. Prepares, the telcos 2000% 2000
- 26:37payment networks and only 2% of them.
- 26:39Talking talk to each other. That number continues to grow.
- 26:43It's not getting better. It's actually getting worse
- 26:45companies like Western Union and money.
- 26:47Grand offer, an expensive, physical network of storefronts,
- 26:51around the world does move money for those who are banked that
- 26:54cash network was extraordinarily difficult and expensive to
- 26:57build, which is why, there aren't a lot of direct
- 27:00competitors. It is also why those cash
- 27:02transfers offer incur substantial fees.
- 27:05Bitcoin could eliminate all those intermediaries allowing
- 27:08citizens to send digital payments directly to one another
- 27:11without relying on credit without incurring.
- 27:13Multiple settlement fees along the way quote.
- 27:16We're going to move a model. We're going to move to a model
- 27:19where we can make payments without IR use or credits or
- 27:22promises or Fiat said Alex gladstein chief strategy officer
- 27:26for the human rights Foundation. An organization that works with
- 27:29activists from authoritarian regimes around the world quote.
- 27:32It's literally like sending a piece of gold or a twenty dollar
- 27:36bill instantly somewhere else. Quote, if you can get access to
- 27:39the internet, you can settle Bitcoin payments, a said Brock
- 27:43quote And the government can't do anything about it and I think
- 27:46that's really the signal there. And look we have to understand
- 27:49that you know most people don't have the privilege that we have
- 27:52in the west where we have these developed Financial rails and
- 27:55Africa. You know it is literally perfect
- 27:59for the Bitcoin use case right? Most people have mobile phones,
- 28:04the the internet, the hard lines of the internet are less
- 28:08developed or less built out than the mobile system.
- 28:11Most people that they the They've built out cell towers in
- 28:16Africa, more than they've built out the hard lines, which is the
- 28:19exact opposite of how it was built out here in the west,
- 28:22right? So most people have a mobile
- 28:24phone. Meaning, most people are
- 28:25connected to, I'm not saying most people, but a good amount
- 28:28of people are connected to the internet.
- 28:30And if they're connected to the internet, that means they could
- 28:32use Bitcoin and even if they're not connected to the internet,
- 28:35there's a block stream. Satellite literally orbiting.
- 28:39No, in outer space, and I'm sure it's going to get better and
- 28:42better and better, right? There's also.
- 28:44Mesh networks. I guess, what I'm trying to say
- 28:46is that there is no good solution to either storing
- 28:50money. If you live in Africa or sending
- 28:53money, if you live in Africa, Bitcoin is the solution to that.
- 28:56And I'm glad that, you know, multiple and entrepreneurs are
- 29:00trying to figure that out whether it is Jack mahler's
- 29:03company. You know, they recently
- 29:04announced that they teamed up with a they teamed up with an
- 29:12exchange called bit. Knob and basically they're going
- 29:16to use the strike as specifically.
- 29:19The lightning Network to launch, a feature called, send globally
- 29:22that allows Americans to transfer money, to people living
- 29:25in Nigeria Ghana and Kenya. Now, what's really interesting
- 29:29about this though, is that it just uses Bitcoin and just uses
- 29:33lightning, but it doesn't even for it behind the hood.
- 29:36It doesn't even force you to use Bitcoin.
- 29:37If you don't want to, you can send Fiat, right?
- 29:41But it's using Bitcoin, it's using The lightning Network to
- 29:45make all of that happen under the hood, right?
- 29:48You know, obviously you know, we're all bitcoiners, we want
- 29:50hyper Bitcoin ization, right? But during the transition
- 29:53period, I think it's a good, you know, hand-holding type of
- 29:56feature, right? So it's really exciting.
- 29:59I'm really excited for. You know, the people of Africa
- 30:02I'm really excited that Bitcoin gives them this opportunity
- 30:06that, you know, in the west. We take this completely for
- 30:09granted, like we don't eat it to us and we're completely blind to
- 30:12it. We're not even aware.
- 30:13Where that this is even possible, right?
- 30:17So I don't know, man. I think it's really cool.
- 30:19I think it's really neat Opti. What are your thoughts, bro?
- 30:22Well, first and foremost to where you started this new
- 30:26segment. You know it's not about right or
- 30:27left. It's about orange for screen and
- 30:30you brought up the buchelli article don't drink the elites
- 30:32Kool-Aid and I was kind of thinking of another article by
- 30:36another person. That's in El Salvador, Max
- 30:38Kaiser's article, that was in the physical Bitcoin magazine,
- 30:42who's the Banana Republic. Now, And you know, as someone
- 30:46that is an American first generation American, it really
- 30:49does feel like America is becoming a Banana Republic
- 30:52itself. Clown World confirm and it's
- 30:55just it's just really on the one hand.
- 30:58Just incredible to see this play out in real time but also you
- 31:02know again being optimistic and seeing a silver lining hopeful
- 31:05that America, there's still hope for us to turn this ship around.
- 31:09Anyways to the article by Mackenzie first shoutout to
- 31:13Mackenzie. See, she's been doing a great
- 31:15job covering Bitcoin even though you know she she does work for
- 31:19the corporate press and she probably gets a lot of flak for
- 31:22that from bitcoiners. You just love to see it.
- 31:24You love to see these stories because not only was it good
- 31:27journalism but also it's very hopeful and inspiring and kind
- 31:32of a slap in the face to all the people that you know, basically
- 31:37take a very negative bet to bitcoin.
- 31:38And I my rant here a little bit because sometimes it's really
- 31:41disheartening when people think that Bitcoin is just For rich
- 31:44people and I love pointing out scenarios like this of what's
- 31:47happening in Africa because I know what Bitcoins done for me
- 31:50personally in my life. I know what it's done to a lot
- 31:52of my friends in America and I just love to see this happen in
- 32:00non-western countries or the global South has its Global
- 32:03South as its coin because Innovation will no longer get
- 32:07stifled you don't have to be in America or a first world country
- 32:10to innovate and to prosper anymore because we have Bitcoin
- 32:14and smart individuals will prosper from all corners of the
- 32:17world and you just love to see it.
- 32:19Like we are really in the future now because you can't stop
- 32:23Innovation as much as Government wants to regulate and stifle
- 32:26Innovation. Human Ingenuity will win out in
- 32:30the end. So, I just love seeing projects
- 32:32like this. I love seeing stories like this,
- 32:34you know, shots out too much and Kura that has connected non
- 32:37smartphones on to bitcoin. It just, man.
- 32:40This is the type of stuff that makes me inspired, and it's just
- 32:43like Okay, I know we're doing the right thing but now I know
- 32:47for sure when we continuously huge stories of people Prosper
- 32:50that we are really doing the right thing and seeing stuff
- 32:54like this in corporate press really counters a couple flood
- 32:58lines, like, you know what, about having no internet and I
- 33:01don't have enough money to buy Bitcoin and now we can just
- 33:04continuously point to examples like this and it's like, look,
- 33:07you have no excuses. If you have any excess cash
- 33:11right now, you need to save some of it in big.
- 33:13Coin and further. It's almost looking like, you
- 33:17know, Fiat kind of Fiat. Money is in the western world
- 33:20are and you know and you know in a rough place right now.
- 33:23Anyways, so it's almost like you want to get some because maybe
- 33:28it does catch on, and yeah, shouts on the vague.
- 33:31He says, the same thing that I was saying, you know, Mackenzie
- 33:34is one of the few decent mainstream journalists.
- 33:36So chefs at the Mackenzie really appreciate everything you're
- 33:39doing, continue to beat the drum that Corporate press just
- 33:44continuously, fudge Bitcoin. And their incentives are exposed
- 33:48if they don't see what Bitcoin will bring to the world.
- 33:51Someone said earlier, you know, if you are if you are pro Fiat
- 33:55then you are anti Human Being a Bitcoin means that you want to
- 33:59see Humanity or being a Bitcoin or means that you want to see
- 34:01Humanity prosper and move into the digital future, that we
- 34:04currently find ourselves in its digital money for a digital
- 34:07world, and it's the best way to save.
- 34:10So I just love seeing countries. And individuals around the
- 34:15world, start to adopt the Bitcoin standard because it will
- 34:18make the world a better place. Beautiful 100% bro, completely
- 34:22agree with you. Anyways, everybody, let's get to

- 35:31anyways. Opti, what are you talking about
- 35:33today, brother? All right, so we got tagged in
- 35:36this tweet over I think of the first time we got tag which over
- 35:39the weekend and you know me I love coordinated Bitcoin buys
- 35:44and you know in context I've tried to do some of these in the
- 35:49past and they didn't go over so well.
- 35:51So we'll see if this time is different but hey this is still
- 35:54part of the ethos of get more people stacking and why we
- 35:59should do it. Well, we got this thread here,
- 36:01actually, it's a tweet by Jonas, peers, AKA at Bitcoin Infinity
- 36:05on Twitter and he's been tagging Us in these posts like all week.
- 36:10So I told him that I would talk about it on today's culture.
- 36:13Anyways, the first tweet that came on my radar from Jonah, was
- 36:17this one right here that I have for you guys and he goes, we are
- 36:20at an inflection point in financial history.
- 36:22If I'm honest, I don't care about freaking Bankers, VC, the
- 36:25stock market, or crypto. What I want is sound money,
- 36:28money that cannot be. Waited to pay off, bad
- 36:30government decisions Wards and agendas that do not reflect my
- 36:33values and that I did not vote. For all I want is to be able to
- 36:37work in a job that serves society, and to convert this
- 36:40energy plus time into a money that I can save in and Trust for
- 36:44my kids and for my family and to pay for the workers of others,
- 36:47I'm pretty sure that is also what 99% of people want and I
- 36:51couldn't agree more. Anyways, he's calling for a
- 36:55coordinated stack on April 1st. Tomorrow at 8 p.m.
- 36:59GMT. And what's a general mountain
- 37:01time. I don't know what that converts
- 37:02into eastern time, but he said, make a symbolic Stan hashtag
- 37:06Bitcoin, Fool's Day by a small. And I'm going to add a large sum
- 37:11of BTC and take it off the exchange.
- 37:13And it goes, who is with me, he's calling, you know, and arms
- 37:16to action and the Reason Not only did I want to call some
- 37:21attention to this because like I said, I love coordinated
- 37:25Bitcoin. Buys, we saw what it is capable
- 37:28of doing if enough people Do a coordinated Bitcoin buying what
- 37:31I'm referencing is the GameStop and the AMC debacle?
- 37:35Well they can't shut off Bitcoin like they did for a GameStop and
- 37:39AMC and so maybe you know tomorrow won't be the day that
- 37:44we finally decouple and the Bitcoin DCA Army.
- 37:47Finally takes this to the moon but I think is an important
- 37:51thing to do anyways because I brought some some articles and
- 37:54stuff that we reference all the time, you know the the piece by
- 37:57Corey, the race to avoid the war.
- 37:59And then the next piece Again by Cory 10 million bitcoiners the
- 38:03intransigent minority. This is what it's all about
- 38:06guys. It's about getting a large.
- 38:09Well I would say a large majority of the population but
- 38:13we only need a small minority of the the population, stacking
- 38:16Bitcoin consistently whether that is DC aying daily weekly
- 38:21monthly, or lump sum buying daily weekly or my our monthly.
- 38:26It's about getting enough people in the DCA, Army stacking.
- 38:29Bitcoin. Because at a certain point we
- 38:32eat up all the Bitcoin you take it off the exchange and then we
- 38:35finally get into the price discovery mode.
- 38:38So I've covered these articles on the show a lot of times and
- 38:41I'm not going to cover in them again but there is a point here
- 38:45and this is the math and chefs out to my boy.
- 38:48Jacob from Swan because he keeps, he keeps kind of
- 38:52correcting me cuz I always forget to use the word, the
- 38:56intransigent minority and this comes from an idea for you
- 38:59think? Anything with I was saying,
- 39:00intolerant, minority, which is not the right way.
- 39:03It's just it's another I word. So it's almost the same thing to
- 39:07hashtag my toxic, big hunted. Anyways, this idea of the
- 39:10intransigent minority comes from not said, Nicholas taleb.
- 39:14I know he's anti Bitcoin or now and it's from his book skin in
- 39:17the game. But he goes for most observed
- 39:19complex systems. The minority contingent required
- 39:22to flip a population to comply with their intransigent.
- 39:25Views is in the three to four percent range with a u.s.
- 39:28population of 320. Five million three percent is 10
- 39:31million and this is where Swan gets their call of the 10
- 39:35million bitcoiners on the bright orange future.
- 39:38And I'm also reminded of a statistic for my buddy branded
- 39:42who not only does he do epic ranch with me every single day
- 39:46on our Twitter spaces but he reminds me that the American
- 39:50Revolution was basically fought by the same intransigent
- 39:53minority of 3% of the, you know, Newfound Americans and this is
- 39:59all we Like, I know we want everyone to get on the Bitcoin
- 40:02standard, but if you are a big corner, you remember the meme of
- 40:05the Bitcoin Remnant and this is who we are speaking to you guys
- 40:09out there spreading the signal, stacking sads consistently.
- 40:12This is how we decouple from the madness and we, you know, we
- 40:16basically take the Bitcoin away from the gamblers and the
- 40:19speculators in the Traders. Anyways, I tried to find some
- 40:23statistics. It's very hard to find the
- 40:25statistic of how many people are actually bitcoiners.
- 40:28But I did. Find this website, buy Bitcoin
- 40:31worldwide. And we're going to use this as
- 40:32our given and this doesn't necessarily mean toxic
- 40:36bitcoiners at stat consistently. But as you can see from here on
- 40:40buy Bitcoin worldwide, they're making a guess that there's
- 40:43about a hundred and six million Bitcoin owners.
- 40:46Now, this doesn't necessarily mean the DCA Army of people
- 40:50buying Bitcoin consistently, this is probably people that
- 40:54have some exposure to bitcoin. And again I did a little more
- 40:57mass, you know. Math is not my Long suit but I
- 41:00found some people that are relatively good at math and
- 41:03shuts out the creases BTC on Twitter and he goes currently
- 41:06the world's Collective allocation to bitcoin is just
- 41:09point oh five percent. Now obviously this math is a
- 41:12little off because he's using the four trillion dollar Bitcoin
- 41:15market cap out of the nine. Hundred trillion total
- 41:18addressable markets and as Nico showed us today.
- 41:21It's roughly around like 550 billion right now.
- 41:24So you know, Point 55 trillion, either way, it's still a very
- 41:29very A small amount of the collective total addressable
- 41:33Market in the world. So I'm going to still use that
- 41:36like, .05 percent range of that's how how much, you know,
- 41:43Market or market share bitcoiners have.
- 41:46But if you do again, some rudimentary Mass, I did again
- 41:53some basic mask guys. So don't hold me to this but
- 41:56just so you can get your ideas out here and I know someone's
- 41:59going to be like Actually, if you break down this, 550 billion
- 42:03dollar market cap. And you divide that by the
- 42:07alleged 106 million, people that are Bitcoin owners, then we can
- 42:11say roughly on average people, hold about 5,000 Bitcoin and,
- 42:15you know, give or take. This is this is average, this is
- 42:18not median, you know, there's a, there's a range of Michael
- 42:21Sailors to people. That just hold a little bit of
- 42:23Bitcoin so we can see where we are right now.
- 42:26Anyways, I say all that to basically get it into the idea
- 42:31of what should you be doing? Should you be lump summing or
- 42:34should you be dollar cost averaging and shouts out to Joe?
- 42:37No, because we're basically telling you guys to lump sum and
- 42:40Alpha Zeta did a great thread on Twitter and he broke down the
- 42:44whole difference between lump sum and dollar cost averaging
- 42:47and he basically realized that lump sum over time is probably
- 42:51the best, but it doesn't negate the point that still stands and
- 42:56also shuts out the wicked smart Bitcoin because he did the same.
- 42:59Alice's and they both came to the same.
- 43:02Understanding that lump sum is much better in Bitcoin saving
- 43:05strategy, compared to d.c. a but big.
- 43:09But shout out to my boy, fryer hasmukh cook.
- 43:12He's been he's been a little quiet lately, but when I was
- 43:16going through this, I remembered something that he was saying a
- 43:20long time ago and for a long long time of how the DCA Army
- 43:24will drive the price of Bitcoin 21 million dollars per Bitcoin.
- 43:29Now go Oh, look this up on bitcoin mad because he does all
- 43:31the math. But essentially the tldr of this
- 43:34is once we get enough people out there, stacking Bitcoin
- 43:38consistently it's basically a small amount of Bitcoin.
- 43:42I forget what his mouth was, but he was saying, you know, once we
- 43:45get essentially to the same kind of idea that Corey says if we
- 43:50get 10 million Bitcoins are stacking $10 a day then the
- 43:53price floor of Bitcoin is set and the Bitcoin price is going
- 43:58to go parabolic. And it's only a matter of time
- 44:01until we all get people on the mission.
- 44:04So this is why I wanted to double down on this idea by
- 44:09Jonah love. Let's get these calls of actions
- 44:11and coordinated buys today or tomorrow rather so that we can
- 44:16continue to beat the drum of the DCA Army.
- 44:18What is most important? In my opinion, is consistently
- 44:22buying Bitcoin but you can see here from another thread from
- 44:25alpha Zeta. You goes regardless of what
- 44:27you're trying to optimize in your portfolio and Including a
- 44:30in a location. Even a small location of Bitcoin
- 44:33improves the result. So it's kind of back to the idea
- 44:36guys. You might want to own some just
- 44:38in case it catches on and this is where we get to.
- 44:41What Jonah was saying. Tomorrow's April 1st are as he's
- 44:44coining it Bitcoin Fool's Day stack some Bitcoin if you still
- 44:48have Pi. My I responded to him.
- 44:50I'm like wait you guys still have Fiat what's going on here.
- 44:52But if you have some dry powder tomorrow April, first eight pm,
- 44:56General Mountain Time by some Bitcoin.
- 44:58He says, you know By a small amount of Bitcoin.
- 45:01I would double down and say spot by a lot of Bitcoin and his
- 45:05little, his little meme. Let's show these bankers and
- 45:07Traders who's boss. Now, if you think you have no
- 45:11effect on the on the market again, I want you to remember
- 45:15the GameStop and AMC debacle that we saw a few years ago and
- 45:19the fact of the matter is, if enough people are buying Bitcoin
- 45:25than we are the market, we are the ones driving the price and
- 45:29And again, I'm reminded my other friend by King go.
- 45:32And he says if we only had 15 million people buying one
- 45:36Bitcoin, the price would be crazy high right now and this is
- 45:40the point you want to be stacking Bitcoin consistently.
- 45:44Now I know there's some Nuance in the DC a burst of lump-sum
- 45:47strategy personally I could pitch you late my Fiat as soon
- 45:50as I get it because I can't hold on to dollars but once it's in
- 45:54Bitcoin it's like a black box and I feel a lot safer.
- 45:59That Bitcoin for the long term versus if I have dollars.
- 46:03I instantly want to spend it. So hey I would just recommend
- 46:07again in. This is from the richest man in
- 46:09Babylon. Take ten percent of your
- 46:11paycheck, capitulated into Bitcoin, don't touch it.
- 46:14Look at it as your 401k, your retirement for the long term.
- 46:17What we're doing here is saving but again if you think you have
- 46:22no effect on the market, I brought some last receipts and
- 46:26this is kind of a troll from Dylan Leclair, but shouts out to
- 46:28him, because there is some reason It's behind it.
- 46:30You guys okay. Hear me out the Bitcoin order
- 46:32book is so liquid that if we all dig through our couch cushions
- 46:35and punt, our spare change, we can send Bitcoin to 1 million
- 46:38dollars and one candle, who's with me?
- 46:50And if you want to go check this out, there is an article on
- 46:52coined as but the tldr of this article and this thread here is
- 46:56Bitcoins markets. Haven't been this thin.
- 46:59Plus month. So it's really about people out
- 47:03there, stacking sets, consistently daily, monthly
- 47:06weekly, and this is how not only individuals opt out of the Fiat
- 47:11Matrix, but how we set a steady floor for Bitcoin and shouts out
- 47:15the fryer munhoz, fryer fryer hasmukh, cook for laying the
- 47:20groundwork and this idea of the importance of the DCA Army,
- 47:23we've been talking about this for a long time.
- 47:25We always talk about the, the importance of the DCA Army and
- 47:28you guys stacking Sads daily, you know, strike has the, the
- 47:32hourly feature. There's a bunch of DCA.
- 47:34Apps swan has the DCA apps. It's all about the DCA, guys, so
- 47:39that we can get a steady floor. So that hey, if these Traders,
- 47:42he's gamblers these speculators want to want to speculate on
- 47:46bitcoin, we will eat it up, we will take that Bitcoin into self
- 47:50custody. We will take the Bitcoin off and
- 47:52exchange and the less Bitcoin on an exchange.
- 47:55The more they will have to charge to get our Bitcoin out of
- 47:58our Cold Storage. It's pure incentives and pure
- 48:00economics. Oh guys.
- 48:01Hey, if you still have Fiat maybe maybe put your hat in the
- 48:05ring tomorrow April 1st, 8 p.m. GMT and let's see this DCA Army
- 48:10final cold air. If you still have Fiat if you
- 48:14still have Fiat set up set up a DCA on Swan Swan and chill.
- 48:18Forget about it, you know and then over time Man just builds
- 48:23up over time. That Bitcoin is saving.
- 48:26See it that way? I think you hit.
- 48:27You hit the nail on the head Opti right there.
- 48:30Hold on, hold on, hold on. I messed up.
- 48:32GMT is not General mountain. Time is Greenwich Mean Time
- 48:37Eastern Standard Time. Greenwich Mean Time is 3:00 p.m.
- 48:43eastern time. Thank you, Scott a wolf on
- 48:45Twitter. Hey maths hard.
- 48:52Oh man. Oh man, oh man, but yeah, bro,
- 48:54bro, dude, I think that if more people woke up to that reality
- 48:58right, you know, just take a portion of your tape eight
- 49:01paycheck, you know, literally set it forget it, you know, come
- 49:05back in a couple years and watch your savings grow.
- 49:08Man. This is the power of a
- 49:09deflationary currency, man increases in purchasing power
- 49:12over time. So you know, even if you put up
- 49:15a little bit, man, it starts to build up over time.
- 49:17Problem is that most people save and earn and Fiat, right?
- 49:21It's a Depressing mindset. You constantly have to work
- 49:23harder Jack mahler's and I think it was, who else said it, right?
- 49:28They went on CNBC and they said it, right?
- 49:31They said, you know, if energy and housing prices are up 30%
- 49:36last year, it's not 6.5 percent, right?
- 49:39So if it's, you know, if it's really, if that inflation rate
- 49:43is really that high, right? Theoretically, are you earning
- 49:49twenty to thirty percent more than you were?
- 49:51Last year if the answer is no, you're earning less, right?
- 49:54And imagine that in a worldwide that imagine that phenomenon on
- 49:59a worldwide level, right? It's horrible and it causes
- 50:03anxiety and people can't save for a for a better future, right
- 50:07now. We have Bitcoin, right?
- 50:09You can earn and you can earn and Save in a money that not
- 50:13only is it not inflationary, it's deflationary.
- 50:17It actually increases in purchasing power over time,
- 50:19which means it gives you the ability.
- 50:21Bility to plan out for, you know, Corey says it best, right?
- 50:26That bright orange future planned out for a future man and
- 50:29imagine that ability but everyone has the ability.
- 50:32It's not just confined to the very wealthy that have the means
- 50:36to save and assets. Therefore they do benefit from
- 50:38ass inflation but everyone else kind of gets poorer and
- 50:41specifically the lower and middle classes right now.
- 50:43Imagine if the lower middle class has had the ability to
- 50:46plan for the future, holy cow, imagine if most of society
- 50:50wasn't living, To paycheck that future is freaking possible and
- 50:55it's possible under a Bitcoin standard.
- 50:57And you know what? That fed?
- 50:58Now bullshit that we saw in the beginning, that doesn't fix
- 51:02inflation. That doesn't fit.
- 51:04They don't mention inflation, they can't mention inflation
- 51:07because it's indefensible. That's why they're choosing to
- 51:10ignore it, right? They can say all they want but
- 51:14they do not have an answer to that they're efficient payments.
- 51:18You need a central bank, why do you need a central bank?
- 51:22And they don't even take responsibility that they don't
- 51:27even take responsibility. Remember the Central Bank meme,
- 51:30yesterday that was released by, you know, the European Central
- 51:33Bank of which opt is ex girlfriend.
- 51:35Christine Lagarde is the head of remember that mean, they said
- 51:39that it's because of workers asking for more money that that
- 51:43is the root cause of inflation. What type of propaganda bullshit
- 51:48spin? Is that enough is enough, op the
- 51:52F out, you know, set up your DCA on Swan best place to build your
- 51:57Bitcoins. Doc set it to forget it so on
- 51:59and she'll forget about it. That's it.
- 52:01That's all you got to do and of course take self custody of
- 52:05that. Bitcoin take self custody,
- 52:07literally take self custody forget about it you know and tap
- 52:11into it maybe in the future or pass it on to your kids.
- 52:15You know, anyways hey wait wait Nico.
- 52:17Before we go I just want to like kind of double down because we
- 52:21did get like a little theoretical and ideological at
- 52:24the moment but like guys we have eating our own dog, food me and
- 52:28Nico. And and we told you guys this on
- 52:30the show multiple time, we have done this process for ourselves
- 52:34and you know at times hey we were basically, you know, we are
- 52:38in our parents house, we were we were on Friends, couches, and we
- 52:41just put everything we could every paycheck into Bitcoin And
- 52:46as number goes up, you start to free your human capital.
- 52:49You start to find this Bitcoins n and you realize, okay, I can
- 52:53start to focus on things that I want to do and we're seeing this
- 52:57play out on the global level, on an individual level on a
- 53:00corporate level and even on a nation state level and it's just
- 53:04beautiful to see guys like, trust the process, put the steps
- 53:08to work provide the value saving Bitcoin.
- 53:11Take your Bitcoin into self custody and repeat this process
- 53:14and you will escape Up the Fiat Matrix, they don't want you to
- 53:18do this. So this is what you have to do
- 53:20to take back your life as a human and of represent 100%.
- 53:24Take back your work, your energy, your time.
- 53:28And I think the best way to do that is Bitcoin.
