Latest / Simply Bitcoin / White House INSIDER REVEALS America's Plan To BUY ALL The Bitcoin?! | EP 1222
Transcript
- 0:00A White House insider is about to reveal America's plan to buy,
- 0:05quote an infinite amount of Bitcoin.
- 0:08But how is that even possible? There's only 21 million Bitcoin.
- 0:12But as crazy as this sounds, this is the same man who said
- 0:16that the US might sell their hundreds of billions of gold
- 0:19reserves to purchase Bitcoin. And also, as a lot of us
- 0:23bitcoiners say, will they eventually start printing
- 0:25Bitcoin or printing money to buy Bitcoin?
- 0:27We're not there yet. But before we get into all that,
- 0:30before we break down everything, let's just see the sneak peek of
- 0:33an interview that goes live tonight at 5:00 PM that might
- 0:37just break the Internet. Here we go and we will chat
- 0:41about it. You know, the president has made
- 0:43it very clear that we're going to be the Bitcoin superpower of
- 0:46the globe. I'm here with Bo Hines.
- 0:47He's the executive director of the Crypto Council.
- 0:49Do you have a personal goal for the number of Bitcoin that the
- 0:51United States could have? I'd like it to be infinite.
- 0:53I want as much as we can possibly accumulate.
- 0:56The White House administration has been taken by storm by a
- 0:58bunch of Bitcoiners. We've publicly said that we
- 1:01believe that Bitcoin is digital gold, and with the Strategic
- 1:04Bitcoin Reserve we wanted to build a digital Fort Knox.
- 1:06I think a lot of the American people want to understand what
- 1:09does this asset mean for me? You.
- 1:10Know, this is an industry that's been broadly be beaten down and
- 1:13kicked down really over the course of the last decade and a
- 1:15half. The President made it very clear
- 1:17that he wanted to basically eradicate anything that
- 1:19undergirded the Operation Choke .2 point O.
- 1:21There's a lot of cool opportunities you had, but you
- 1:24chose to do this and so why did you choose to do that?
- 1:26You can feel the energy here. It's palpable.
- 1:29People are excited again. Have you guys been?
- 1:31Fielding calls from foreign governments or, you know, people
- 1:33outside the United States that are saying, why'd you set up the
- 1:35Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? We're thinking about it as well.
- 1:41OK guys, OK, you saw that. All right, So what interview we
- 1:44talking about? Anthony Pompolano is going to
- 1:47talk with Bo Hines. And of course guys, I'm not
- 1:50alone. We have our boy Crystal Amo
- 1:52filling in the Co host seat and we have some very, very cool
- 1:56stuff for you guys in the culture.
- 1:57We got the coined ad from the Bitcoin Mining Museum.
- 2:00We're going to show you some history on today's show and
- 2:02we're even going to do a little giveaway.
- 2:04So you guys want to stick around for the whole show anyways, as
- 2:06we saw Bo Hines, he is what's the executive director of the
- 2:11Crypto Advisory group. He's been the one talking with
- 2:15Trump. I'm sure you guys have heard him
- 2:17go around talking about different ways for the US to
- 2:21acquire Bitcoin in a quote budget neutral way.
- 2:24It seems like we're going to get some more information coming out
- 2:26later today. Now the big kahuna here is this
- 2:29idea that Bo Hines keeps saying we want to buy as much Bitcoin
- 2:33as possible. We got a new development here.
- 2:35He said, we want to buy an infinite amount of Bitcoin.
- 2:38And of course, all the bitcoiners are like, wait,
- 2:40there's only 21 million Bitcoin. How is this even possible?
- 2:43What do you mean by buying an infinite amount of Bitcoin?
- 2:46And I think he kind of followed it up with we want to buy as
- 2:49much Bitcoin as possible. And it seems like they are
- 2:53doubling down on this. Now.
- 2:54Let's remind you of something that he said a couple of weeks
- 2:58ago. And I'm over here on
- 2:59benzigabenziga.com. Let me get this ad out.
- 3:03And he goes, White House says the gold reserves may be used to
- 3:07purchase Bitcoin. We covered this in the past, and
- 3:10it seems like this idea is still being thrown around.
- 3:13Obviously, I said last week that what would be very interesting
- 3:16right now, considering all the global trade wars we're seeing,
- 3:19it looks like someone is dropping U.S.
- 3:21Treasuries. They're probably buying gold.
- 3:24And right now, if you're in the US, the move would be to pivot
- 3:28away from gold and buy Bitcoin. So if this move happens, that
- 3:32would be absolutely crazy. So here we go.
- 3:35Let me break this down a little bit for you guys, and then we
- 3:37will chat about it. A senior White House official
- 3:39has hinted at the possible possibility of the US utilizing
- 3:42its gold reserves to acquire more Bitcoin.
- 3:44What HAPPENED? Bo Heinz, the executive director
- 3:46of the President's Council of Advisors on Digital Assets,
- 3:49suggested in an interview that the US could capitalize on the
- 3:52gains from its gold holdings to purchase more Bitcoin.
- 3:55This move, according to Heinz, could be a budget neutral way to
- 3:59increase the country's Bitcoin reserves.
- 4:01And I think would be a historic geopolitical move here.
- 4:04If we dropped gold and just went all in on Bitcoin, that I think
- 4:08that would truly break the Internet and we probably see
- 4:11some crazy price pumping. But anyways, Heinz referenced
- 4:14the Bitcoin Act of 2025 proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummus of
- 4:17Wyoming, which advocates for the US to acquire 1,000,000 Bitcoin,
- 4:21approximately 5% of the total Bitcoin supply over a span of
- 4:25five years. This acquisition would be funded
- 4:28through the sale of the Federal Reserve gold certificate.
- 4:31Now moving forward, quote, if we actually realize the gains on
- 4:34the US gold holdings, that would be a budget neutral way to
- 4:37acquire more Bitcoin, Heinz said, adding that there's been
- 4:40countless ideas and the best ideas will be enacted by
- 4:44President Donald Trump. Now I think that is the signal
- 4:47here. Countless ideas of course, are
- 4:49throwing stuff at the chalkboard, seeing what sticks,
- 4:51but the best ideas will be enacted.
- 4:54And maybe I'm biased here as a bitcoiner, but that would be
- 4:58probably the best move. I know it would have extremely
- 5:02huge geopolitical ramifications if the US sold all of their
- 5:06gold, bought Bitcoin. I kind of broke it down last
- 5:09week, this idea that, but it seems like we don't know who's
- 5:12selling these Treasuries right now.
- 5:13Obviously, it seems like the Treasury markets, the stock
- 5:16markets are kind of relaxing now after all of these, you know,
- 5:19trade tariff talks that kind of been rolled back.
- 5:21They've been paused now and no one really know what's going on.
- 5:24But it seems like the markets are kind of, you know, mellowing
- 5:27out right now. But we did see that someone
- 5:30seemingly was dropping treasuries.
- 5:32A lot of people are speculating maybe it's the Euromarkets or
- 5:36maybe it was China. We did see the bond yield
- 5:40increase increase in the in the China trading hours.
- 5:43So is China dropping U.S. debt to acquire more gold?
- 5:47We know they've been acquiring gold.
- 5:48And I think the big move would be if the US just double s down
- 5:52on Bitcoin, that would break the Internet.
- 5:55I think a lot of people would be extremely surprised by that
- 5:57move. So who knows what is actually
- 6:00going on. We will be covering if we get
- 6:03some good clips coming from this tonight on the pomp interview
- 6:05with Bo Hines, I'm sure we'll play them for you guys tomorrow.
- 6:09This is going to happen tonight, 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
- 6:11So we're all watching on pins and needles here.
- 6:14What's going to go on? What's going to be said?
- 6:16Are we going to get some more information of how the strategic
- 6:19Bitcoin reserve is going to play out?
- 6:21Are they going to talk about the gold reserves?
- 6:22And I think what we seeing, and I know it's Monday guys, so you
- 6:26probably don't want to drink yet, but the over window around
- 6:30Bitcoin is completely being shattered.
- 6:33I know Nico's not here, but this is a theme we constantly talk
- 6:37about here on the show. So very interesting stuff we're
- 6:39seeing there is new developments.
- 6:41I know a lot of you guys have been saying like, man, we're
- 6:43always talking about things that haven't happened yet.
- 6:45Well, this is kind of part of being a Bitcoiner.
- 6:47You can predict the future. Even Trump had an interesting
- 6:50tweet this morning. He says, you know, the smartest
- 6:52and most intelligent people in the world are the ones that can
- 6:55predict the future. And Bitcoiners have been
- 6:57predicting the future for decade, for a decade now and
- 7:00being very correct on most, if not everything here.
- 7:04So we are bitcoiners. We got good first principles,
- 7:07good fundamentals. And it's it's very easy to
- 7:10predict where the world is going once you fix the money.
- 7:12And that's going to be a constant theme on today's show.
- 7:15Anyways, I've been blabbing enough.
- 7:16I want to pass it over to the coin dad here.
- 7:19I kind of might know what Chris is going to say.
- 7:21So coin dad, thanks for coming guys, really.
- 7:25Really. To hang out with the coin dad
- 7:27today we got some interesting stuff for the culture on the
- 7:29tail end of the show. But Coindead, you know, the
- 7:32founder creator of the Bitcoin mining museum.
- 7:34What's your thoughts on the strategic Bitcoin reserve
- 7:37announcement? What, what do you think would
- 7:39happen if we did dump all our gold to buy Bitcoin?
- 7:42What's what's your thoughts hearing this clip today?
- 7:45Well, my thought on that is, well, First off, thanks for
- 7:48having me on the show. Appreciate it.
- 7:51The, the fact that we don't, we have to 1st confirm that there's
- 7:53gold. It was supposed to come out like
- 7:56last Monday or something like that, like 30 days to find out
- 7:59if there's gold in there. What happened to the whole live
- 8:02streaming of The Walking through there and all that good stuff
- 8:05that they were talking about? We so we haven't even confirmed
- 8:08if the United States has the gold.
- 8:10This is true. And also further, we don't even
- 8:13know if the US has the Bitcoin as well.
- 8:16So there's still a lot of questions going on.
- 8:19Yeah, a lot of questions, a lot of questions.
- 8:22Anyways, Chris, what's your thoughts on this?
- 8:25Well, so first thing I want to say with the Bo Hines interview
- 8:28and he's like, we want infinite amount of Bitcoin.
- 8:30Any Bitcoiner like looks at that kind of puzzle then be like,
- 8:32wait, there's 21 million bitcoins.
- 8:34So he gave an answer like that or as much Bitcoin as we can
- 8:36get, which he kind of alluded to it almost kind of seems like a
- 8:39Fiat or crypto answer in my opinion.
- 8:41In terms of I had a great or listen to a great episode with
- 8:44Lawrence Leopard on what Bitcoin did with Danny Knowles over on
- 8:47their podcast. And there was two points that
- 8:50Lawrence brought up that were great. 1 He thinks that a lot of
- 8:53the hedge funds are blowing up because we saw bond yield
- 8:55spiking as you were mentioning OPTI, which can be a lot of
- 8:58different things. It could be people that are
- 9:00shorting the market or, or putting on a short and then, you
- 9:03know, basically goes the other direction.
- 9:05It could be people using leverage, so they're trying to
- 9:07get squeeze more out of the bond yields and then in doing so,
- 9:11it's causing them to blow up. Obviously, normally when bond
- 9:13yields spike, it's because people are selling.
- 9:15So the bond yields have to go up in order to entice people to
- 9:18come back into the market. If bond yields go down, it's
- 9:20normally people are buying. It's a flight, quote UN quote to
- 9:23safety. As bitcoiners know, bitcoins,
- 9:25the only Bitcoin in cold storage is the only safe and freest
- 9:29asset that you have, not U.S. government.
- 9:31If anything, they're like the worst lenders that you can lend
- 9:33your money to. But you know, in traditional
- 9:35finance, they see bonds as the safest play, But I think we're
- 9:39slowly turning the tides to that and that will change.
- 9:41Last thing, the note on the gold.
- 9:43So another point that Lawrence Leopard brought up on the
- 9:45podcast. So you know, there's been a lot
- 9:47of speculations for the last 50 years since we've gone off the
- 9:49gold window with the Nixon chalk in 71.
- 9:52Is that like, oh, do we have the gold that we say we can?
- 9:54Obviously France called our bluff in 71 and said we want the
- 9:57gold. And then England was like, hey,
- 9:59we want our gold back as well. And then that's when Nixon
- 10:01basically took us off the gold standard and basically was like,
- 10:04hey, like we'll redeem paper and then we're fixing the price of
- 10:07gold at that amount. So some interesting thing that
- 10:09came out during COVID actually, I think either in 2019 or 2020,
- 10:13Germany had lent gold to the United States years ago, decades
- 10:17ago actually at that point. And they want to redeem their
- 10:20gold. And in doing so, the US actually
- 10:22did make good on their promise on the amount of gold.
- 10:25But the thing that stood out in the transaction is normally when
- 10:28you lend or you let someone hold on to your gold, their gold bars
- 10:31or the large amount of gold when you have it.
- 10:33I have gold bars and they have serial numbers.
- 10:35When we returned the gold back to Germany, a lot of the serial
- 10:38numbers that they originally had given to us were missing.
- 10:41So even though they got, you know, let's just use a
- 10:43hypothetical number, let's just say they had a ton of gold in
- 10:46Fort Knox. When we sent them the ton of
- 10:48gold back, a lot of the numbers were missing, which gives
- 10:51speculation to the gold bugs that maybe we lent out gold, but
- 10:54we didn't have. And in order to read like give
- 10:57the order back, we had to buy gold elsewhere in order to give
- 11:00it back to them. I know probably 3 or 4 weeks ago
- 11:02as well, gold at the Comex and also at the London Metals
- 11:06Exchange, it spiked from 48 hours to delivery to six weeks
- 11:09to on delivery, which means that if I'm speculating, I'm not a
- 11:12gold guy, I don't owe any gold. But if I had to speculate, it
- 11:15means that some people didn't have the gold.
- 11:17They said they did. So they're giving themselves
- 11:18more time to find the physical gold in order to get the
- 11:21counterparties that they needed. So like I said, this is just
- 11:24something that we want to see. I agree with Coindad.
- 11:26We need to go in there and figure out whether we actually
- 11:28have it. I don't think Trump or anyone in
- 11:30his cabinet would go in there and it not be there.
- 11:33But I definitely think that they would, you know, put the gold in
- 11:35there or find ways to fill it. And then as soon as the cameras
- 11:39stop rolling, all right, now, these need to go back to the
- 11:41people we're borrowing it from. That's just speculation.
- 11:43I don't know. I don't have any insight into
- 11:45that. But, you know, if they were
- 11:46going to do it, they'd make this grandiose gesture and show.
- 11:49But whether it actually remains there remains to be seen.
- 11:51Yeah, totally. Great, Great points there.
- 11:53And I know there's been a lot of speculation of what's going on
- 11:57in the gold markets right now. I of course this isn't simply
- 12:00gold, but we are, we're Mac, we're all macro now.
- 12:03You know, we're all macro experts now.
- 12:05And it is very interesting to see the settlement times of the
- 12:07gold, what's going on with who's getting what gold?
- 12:10Why are we seeing this delay on the Fort Knox audit?
- 12:14Do they have the gold? Are they trying to basically get
- 12:17gold into the Fort Knox so that they seemingly have all the gold
- 12:20they claim? Of course, we all understand, or
- 12:23at least if you've been in Bitcoin for a long time, you
- 12:25you're all very aware of this idea of re hypothecation.
- 12:29And this is something a lot of us Bitcoiners have been calling
- 12:32the bluff of the US government. It's like what Maybe we're a
- 12:35little cynical. It's like they don't even have
- 12:36the gold. They're trying to get gold
- 12:38there. So it looks like we have the
- 12:39gold. They probably sold more paper
- 12:41than gold that they actually own.
- 12:43So there's still a lot of questions to be answered, but I
- 12:45do want to pose to Coyne. Dad, one question.
- 12:47Me and Chris have talked about this before.
- 12:49So Chris, you know, I'm I'm going to skip you on this one,
- 12:52but we have a we have a OG on the show here, So coined dad,
- 12:56what's your thoughts on even strategic Bitcoin reserve at all
- 13:00from any government? Do you like this idea?
- 13:02Are you one of these bitcoins? Like I don't want any government
- 13:05to own Bitcoin. What's your thoughts on the
- 13:08strategic Bitcoin reserve? Just just in general, just the
- 13:11idea of 1. I do like the idea.
- 13:15I think it's going to happen inevitably with many of the
- 13:18countries out there in the future.
- 13:21I would like to see us take the lead on it, which looks like we
- 13:23are with this administration. I do hope that they're going to
- 13:27be open about it, you know, like publicly put the address out
- 13:30there for us to keep an eye on things ourselves, not just
- 13:33themselves. Because right now, not knowing
- 13:35if those 200,000 Bitcoin that are supposed to be owned by the
- 13:40United States exists, like how come they haven't shown proof of
- 13:43that yet? So they're not showing the gold
- 13:45at Fort Knox and they haven't shown the 200,000 Bitcoin that
- 13:48we're supposed to have. And that's really why, you know,
- 13:51Bitcoin is decentralized in public and we should be able to
- 13:54verify that they have it. So if they do the Bitcoin
- 13:57strategic reserve, I hope that they're just going to keep it
- 13:59open for us to see. Let's go.
- 14:02Yeah, I totally agree with that. I mean, as the meme goes, you
- 14:05know, Bitcoin is for anyone you you got to kind of get used to
- 14:08or comfortable with the idea that your worst enemy will hold
- 14:11Bitcoin as well, a neutral, a political money, everyone will
- 14:15eventually hold it. So I I totally agree with that.
- 14:17Anyways, guys, we still got a jam packed show.
- 14:20I have a clip from Jack Mahler's about global liquidity.
- 14:24What's going on in the Bitcoin price?
- 14:25I know guys, the whole PM's here on Monday.
- 14:28Everyone's wondering what's going on with the price.
- 14:29If we're seeing all these big people buy Bitcoin, why is the
- 14:32price so stagnant? We'll kind of cover that a
- 14:34little bit. And then in the news today, we
- 14:37literally just saw a press conference between Naive Buckele
- 14:41and Trump. And there's some interesting
- 14:43stuff there. They didn't mention Bitcoin, but
- 14:45I think obviously Bitcoin is essentially what got Buckele
- 14:49into the White House guys. So jam packed show.
- 14:52Make sure you smash the like button.
- 14:54Let's get to 150 likes in the next 25 minutes.
- 14:59By the first half of the show I want to see 150 likes.
- 15:02Anyways guys, we also have to talk about our lead sponsor
- 15:07Bitcoin. Well, the best way to stack
- 15:10Bitcoin it is automatic self custody by default.
- 15:13What's that mean? It means you literally need to
- 15:15have a Bitcoin wallet to buy Bitcoin from Bitcoin.
- 15:18Well, there is never a chance of them rug pulling your Bitcoin
- 15:22once you buy it. Once it clears from your Fiat
- 15:24bank, it goes directly to your wallet.
- 15:27This is the best way to you buy Bitcoin.
- 15:29And if you've been sitting on the sideline and you have some
- 15:32deep pockets and you want to smash by $50,000 or more at a
- 15:36time, make sure you get in touch with the Bitcoin Well, Infinite
- 15:39team. It's an OTC desk.
- 15:41You can buy $50,000 at a time. I think it's all the way up to
- 15:45$1,000,000. So if you've been sitting on the
- 15:46sidelines, you're getting new to Bitcoin and you're looking at
- 15:49the Bitcoin price and you're like, man, I really need to get
- 15:51all this Fiat out of the system. If these trade wars are freaking
- 15:54you out, you need to drop treasuries and you got a lot of
- 15:56Fiat get in touch with the Bitcoin infinite team and smash
- 16:00buy some Bitcoin, scan the QR code and use the promo code
- 16:04simply BTC to win three tosses into the wishing well where you
- 16:09have a chance to win up to 1,000,000 sets.
- 16:11All right guys, let's get into the show.
- 16:13We got a jam packed show. I got a lot to cover here we go.
- 16:23I want to tell you guys about our sponsor Stamp Seed.
- 16:27Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
- 16:30Are your seed words really secure?
- 16:33Stamp Seeds Do it Yourself Kit has everything you'll need to
- 16:37hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
- 16:42instead of writing them down on paper.
- 16:45Don't do that. Paper sucks.
- 16:47You want to literally stamp your seed into this plate of
- 16:51titanium. Your words are actually stamped
- 16:54into the metal plate with this hammer, so once your words are
- 16:58in, they aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
- 17:02apart and your pieces falling everywhere.
- 17:05Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple-A heat
- 17:09produced by a house fire. They are also crush proof,
- 17:12waterproof, non corrosive and most importantly, because this
- 17:16is generational wealth time proof, all things that paper is
- 17:22not allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin for the long haul.
- 17:26I mean, here is the plate that they crushed, they put in water,
- 17:31they put a blowtorch to it. And as you can see, the words
- 17:34have survived. Stamp your seed on stamp seed
- 17:38and you can use promo code simply to get 15% off anything
- 17:43on their store. Head over to stampse-ed.com
- 17:46today. All right guys, scan the QR code
- 17:53and use the promo code simply to get 15% off.
- 17:55Make sure you are stamping your seed in titanium.
- 17:58If you think this is generational wealth, do not
- 18:00leave it on a piece of paper in your sock drawer.
- 18:03All right guys, we're over here on Clark Money's dashboard.
- 18:05Looking at the numbers, the current Bitcoin price is
- 18:08$84,500. I'm sure you guys watched it.
- 18:11We got all the way up to 85 K this weekend.
- 18:14We're we're starting to see the price get a little bubbly.
- 18:16I'm starting to feel a little a little hope on myself in this
- 18:19Bitcoin price, but who knows what's going on.
- 18:21It's probably going to go sideways for summer.
- 18:23I I don't know, just keep stacking cheap sats.
- 18:25This is the way anyway. The sats per dollar, AKA how
- 18:28much Bitcoin you can buy for a single dollar, AKA how much the
- 18:31dollar is worth in Bitcoin is currently at 1183 sats per
- 18:35dollar. The current block height,
- 18:36probably the most important number in Bitcoin is 892,406.
- 18:42The market cap is currently at $1.68 trillion.
- 18:46The Bitcoin versus gold market cap is at 7.39%.
- 18:49So much room to run in the hard money game in the store of value
- 18:52game and the total percentage of Bitcoin that will ever be issued
- 18:55is currently at 94.52%, roughly 19.85 million Bitcoin in
- 19:01circulation. That's total circulation so far
- 19:04and you know, there's, there's a good, good guess that there's
- 19:07millions of Bitcoin lost. So there's less Bitcoin out
- 19:09there than you probably think. And the realized monetary
- 19:12inflation is currently at .86%. Again, the strongest money in
- 19:16the world currently it is Bitcoin.
- 19:19All right, guys. So as I was telling you guys,
- 19:21you know, we've been kind of covering not only just what's
- 19:24going on in the macro market, but we've been trying to figure
- 19:26out what's going on with the Bitcoin price.
- 19:29We're seeing some really big buyers in the market.
- 19:31Obviously we all know about the ETF.
- 19:33There's a huge concern about paper Bitcoin.
- 19:35Everyone's trying kind of wrap their head around what's going
- 19:38on. Are we still in cycle theory?
- 19:40Are we in a new paradigm? What is going on with the
- 19:43Bitcoin price? And of course, last week we all
- 19:45were wondering, did Bitcoin finally decouple?
- 19:47And then, you know, come Monday, recoupled again.
- 19:50But there will be the day when Bitcoin does decouple.
- 19:53And I, I don't think it's too far away.
- 19:55So let's hear Jack Muller's explain this and then the coin
- 19:59Dad and Chris and I will talk about this.
- 20:02And this, This is why Bitcoin will decouple because Bitcoin
- 20:06isn't priced on earnings. And if countries are looking for
- 20:08something to own, you're going to want scarce reserve assets.
- 20:13Long gold, long Bitcoin, easy, easy.
- 20:16So I people don't understand what we're living through.
- 20:19And I'm looking on the Internet and everyone's freaking out.
- 20:22And my message to my audience and to the Bitcoiners is just
- 20:24relax. You got to breathe, calm down,
- 20:28understand what you own, understand what we're living
- 20:31through right now. Let the stock market puke and
- 20:33figure itself out. And by the way, is it over?
- 20:36No, what are we living through right now?
- 20:38We're trying. I'm literally on Wall Street
- 20:41having meetings with Wall Street people.
- 20:43This city is a full of a bunch of over levered, pompous hedge
- 20:48fund assholes. These guys, I mean, the stock
- 20:51market's down like 4%. These guys are begging and
- 20:53pleading and screaming for a bailout.
- 20:56Give me a break. Everyone wants a relief rally.
- 21:00We're now at the phase where everyone's like, you hear that?
- 21:03Oh, my God, Trump. Trump said that he's open to
- 21:06negotiations. Trump said he might walk back
- 21:09what he said. And no one's actually pricing in
- 21:12the fact that Trump means business, whether you like it or
- 21:16not. Trump wants to help the poor
- 21:20American. Trump wants to create factory
- 21:22jobs. Trump wants to produce stuff
- 21:24here. Trump wants to fix the deficit
- 21:26problem that that's until I see otherwise.
- 21:31Trump is about business. Trump is keeping his promises
- 21:35whether you like it or not. This is not a political podcast.
- 21:39I'm just calling it how I see it.
- 21:41And you've got a bunch of over levered people here in New York
- 21:44that are just losing their mind. It listen, it is what it is.
- 21:51And and this is so bullish for Bitcoin.
- 21:54They're going to have to print so much money.
- 21:56They're going to have to Bitcoin is really priced with how much
- 21:59Fiat currency is sloshing around in the world.
- 22:02And in order for all of this to play out and work, we have to
- 22:07debase our currency, we have to devalue our debt, and we have to
- 22:11create more Fiat. Let's go first of all, I love
- 22:19Jack Mahler's and and really this is something we've been
- 22:22seeing in the markets as bitcoiners are like 4% like
- 22:25moves and you guys are freaking out.
- 22:26Like that's like, you know, that's like lunchtime movement
- 22:30for Bitcoin. And all of us Bitcoiners are
- 22:31like, yeah, this is minor guys. Everyone is freaking out in the
- 22:35world right now. But it is exactly what Chris
- 22:37said. Jack Mahler's basically just
- 22:39confirmed exactly what Chris said.
- 22:41Wall Street, you know, all trad fired.
- 22:43They're over leverage to the gills.
- 22:46And This is why they're all freaking out.
- 22:48And you know, Jack Ball is like a bunch of I I can't even say
- 22:52the words here that I really want to say, but they're all
- 22:55scared for some, you know, very minimal volatility in the stock
- 22:58market, in treasuries, etcetera. As Bitcoiners like bro, and we
- 23:02all know where this is going at the end.
- 23:03They have to print a lot of money.
- 23:06This is the only way this ends. As Lynn Alden's been saying for
- 23:09a long time, as Larry Leopard's been saying, the big print is
- 23:12coming. You can't stop this train, but I
- 23:15did see something on Twitter over the weekend and you know,
- 23:19hold your tomatoes guys. I'm I'm not going to go full
- 23:21macro TA, you know, tea leaving tea leaf reading here, but I did
- 23:25see an interesting chart and I and I I think it I don't know,
- 23:28you know, I think it holds some value here, and this might be my
- 23:32new favorite account right now. I think he's doing a really good
- 23:34job. So at tech dev under score 52
- 23:37goes. Let's make this clear.
- 23:38As the business cycles bottoms the red zones global liquidity
- 23:42leads Bitcoin. Whatever it does, Bitcoin does.
- 23:44A few months later, a liquidity breakout after retest, which is
- 23:47now starts bitcoins parabolic leg.
- 23:50That's what matters, not the halvings, not the ETF, not the
- 23:52tariffs. So spicy take here follow what's
- 23:55matters. It's already shown what comes
- 23:57next. And you can see here we have the
- 23:59Bitcoin price, he's got some bubbles here to kind of explain
- 24:02the the sideways action and then the pump action have followed
- 24:05under it with global liquidity. And as you can see, he also has
- 24:09the business cycles, Blues when it's booming, you know, Reds
- 24:12when it's printing or Blues when it's contracting, Reds when it's
- 24:14printing. And, and as you can see here,
- 24:17I'll zoom in here, global liquidity is breaking out.
- 24:20I've been saying this. I think this might be the case.
- 24:23We've all kind of been watching the M2 money supply.
- 24:26Now we have a chart with the global liquidity.
- 24:28It literally confirms exactly what Jack Mueller said.
- 24:31What brings the Bitcoin price up is the global slosh of Fiat out
- 24:35there and it eventually getting into Bitcoin.
- 24:38So look I it is Monday. I am giving you some opium here.
- 24:41It looks like we might be seeing a pump soon.
- 24:43Guys, please Sir me familia, can we finally start pumping Bitcoin
- 24:47global liquidity? My Bitcoin price needs you
- 24:49number go up soon anyways. Anyways, enough tea leaf reading
- 24:52for us today. Chris, what's your thoughts on
- 24:55on what Jack Ma said and then also that chart I showed?
- 25:00No, I love Jack. You know, I definitely agree.
- 25:03I think we're in the the same boat that the hedge funds are
- 25:06levered to the tits with, you know, all the different assets
- 25:09that they have. It goes down 4%.
- 25:10They're crying for a bailout. You know, Bitcoin, it goes up
- 25:134%. It goes down 4% in a few hours.
- 25:15And we're just like, you know, TikTok next block in terms of
- 25:19the chart. I actually really like that
- 25:20chart. I know that's doctor Jeff is a
- 25:22good friend of mine. He's over on Nostra only now,
- 25:25but he talks about basically liquidity kind of mirrors what
- 25:28happens. So like, you know, liquidity is
- 25:30going up, Bitcoins pumping, liquidity is getting withdrawn
- 25:33or going down. You know, Bitcoin normally
- 25:35follows that. I know he normally use, like I
- 25:38said, maybe we're a macro on a gold podcast now Opti, but I
- 25:40know he always says that he personally looks at gold and
- 25:43depending on the direction that gold goes up, you know, the gold
- 25:46bugs always love to let us know on all the social media
- 25:47platforms like gold's outperforming Bitcoin right now,
- 25:50it's over. You know, we're going back onto
- 25:51a gold standard. Not going to happen.
- 25:53You know, I love the gold guys, but I don't think that's going
- 25:55to happen anytime soon. But the one thing I will say as
- 25:58of right now, the trend always seems that gold normally leads
- 26:00where bitcoins going. So if gold starts breaking out
- 26:02and hitting all time highs or hitting, you know, starts going
- 26:05up again, normally a few weeks to a few months later, Bitcoin
- 26:08breaks out and goes much, much higher, obviously.
- 26:10So it's good to follow basically the liquidity as well as the
- 26:16gold price as well as the Bitcoin price just to kind of
- 26:18see where it's going. Or you could just be like a
- 26:20normal pleb like me, stay humble and stack sacks.
- 26:22You know, people like it's going up.
- 26:23It's like, all right, more people are buying than selling.
- 26:25It's going down. More people are selling than
- 26:27buying. But I just like to keep it
- 26:28simple. Yeah, keep it simple, just stack
- 26:31Bitcoin. Obviously now we are forced to
- 26:34become a macro podcast that maybe we're just simply macro
- 26:37now, because Bitcoin is becoming a macro asset.
- 26:39We've entered the big leagues, boys and girls, So we'll
- 26:42probably be talking about macro and politics a lot more.
- 26:45I know guys hold the tomatoes. It's it's horrible.
- 26:47This is where we are in the story.
- 26:49Anyways, Coindad, what's your thoughts on what Jack Muller
- 26:52said? And, you know, kind of a spicy
- 26:54take, like cycle theory is, is not what matters here anymore.
- 26:57So what's your thoughts on this? Well is the price of gold really
- 27:01going up or is does it just take more U.S. dollar to get the same
- 27:05gold? Because over the last, since
- 27:07COVID started, it's been 4 to $5 trillion that they printed out
- 27:10of thin air, diluting the whole financial system.
- 27:14I mean, the news with Bitcoin and all the positive things that
- 27:18we've been experiencing and especially since the Trump
- 27:21administration came into office, you know, I got me thinking back
- 27:24in 2017, like I remember a little bit of piece of news
- 27:28comes out and Bitcoin skyrockets.
- 27:30So like if we had the news we have today and go back to 2017,
- 27:34we'd probably be about $500,000 Bitcoin right now.
- 27:38So to me, like I feel like this is just my, my, my vibe.
- 27:42I feel like it's, it's a beach ball that's just under the
- 27:45ocean, under the water waiting to pop out 'cause it's just
- 27:48being pressurized and keeping the price low.
- 27:50And we're at all time high with the hash rate as of today.
- 27:53Right now we hit it again. So these are like all, you know,
- 27:58positive news that we should that should cause Bitcoin to go
- 28:01up higher. So I'm kind of puzzled that
- 28:03we're at this price right now. I feel like we should
- 28:05technically already be at $150,000 today.
- 28:08Yeah, I mean, a lot of people have been saying that as well,
- 28:11like not only just the news, but I guess, you know, the Bitcoin
- 28:14fundamentals. You would think that the price
- 28:16of Bitcoin would be way higher than it is right now.
- 28:19So maybe, you know, the billionaire fund playbook, I
- 28:21always talk about someone's trying to stack some Bitcoin
- 28:24before it takes off. Who is it?
- 28:26We won't know until it actually happens.
- 28:28But I did see a, a very interesting take over the
- 28:31weekend, or rather it might have been last week since we're
- 28:34seeing Bitcoin or sorry, gold price go all time high.
- 28:37And, and sorry, guys, I spilt water on my shirt.
- 28:39It's, it's distracting me right now since since we're seeing the
- 28:44gold price hit basically all time highs, Of course, we're all
- 28:47macro, we're all macro experts now we're seeing what's going on
- 28:50in the stock markets and the treasury bond yields and there's
- 28:53very interesting stuff playing out.
- 28:55But someone was saying that maybe, you know, what Bitcoiners
- 28:58don't want to hear right now is that the fact that gold is going
- 29:01up doesn't necessarily necessarily mean Bitcoin will go
- 29:03up as well. There might be a different use
- 29:05case here, but we all know eventually all roads lead to
- 29:08Bitcoin. It's only a matter of time until
- 29:09people realize that Bitcoin isn't the risk on asset that
- 29:13they think it is. It's really the truly risk off
- 29:15asset, the neutral apolitical money in the world that no one
- 29:19controls. And I think that information is
- 29:21starting to spread out there. So it is very interesting what
- 29:24we're seeing right now. And I know Bitcoiners and kind
- 29:26of what Chris was saying, you know, if you're just like a play
- 29:28about average Bitcoiner, all you care about is Bitcoin.
- 29:31But I think I think it is very, very important to kind of look
- 29:35at Bitcoin in the larger landscape here and not just look
- 29:38at Bitcoin in the vacuum. And there's a lot of crazy stuff
- 29:41going on in the world right now, guys.
- 29:42And Bitcoin is now a part of that as we are hearing from
- 29:45Trump, as we're hearing from other nation state leaders, of
- 29:48course, as we're hearing from Wall Street, Bitcoin is now a
- 29:52part of the equation. So we do have to kind of factor
- 29:55in these macro factors going into Bitcoin now because we've
- 29:58we're growing up, guys. We are growing up.
- 30:00Bitcoin is what 16 now? It's its Sweet 16 birthday and
- 30:04it seems like we have matured as a as an industry, as a commodity
- 30:08and asset, as a money. However you want to frame it, I
- 30:10look at that as the money. But anyways, anyways you guys
- 30:14want to chime in there a little bit or we could keep it moving
- 30:16because we still have a jam packed show.
- 30:20I don't have anything else to add we can keep.
- 30:21It moving all right, let's keep it moving all right guys well,
- 30:23we hit our goal of 150 likes. So I'm moving this up 250 likes
- 30:27by the end of the show. Let's get to the news because we
- 30:31saw very you know I I would say a pretty huge momentous moment
- 30:35for El Salvador, but of course for bitcoiners and I'm I'll give
- 30:39you guys a saga so naive, but Kelly just met with trump, which
- 30:42I would argue was brought to you by Bitcoin.
- 30:45We all know it was brought to you by Bitcoin.
- 30:47Without Bitcoin, but Kelly probably wouldn't have been on
- 30:50the map. But yeah, yeah, show, show the
- 30:51people the the picture real quick.
- 30:53There we go without Bitcoin Boutele.
- 30:57Lot of grab right there. Let's go.
- 30:59That's amazing. That's awesome guys.
- 31:01Brought to you by Bitcoin. As we say all the time, fix the
- 31:04money, fix the world. So let's get into today's news

- 33:43OK, guys. So as Coin Dad was showing,
- 33:46there is this picture here of Naibu Kelly shaking hands with
- 33:50Donald Trump. And of course, I, I, I don't
- 33:53remember if Naibu Kelly posted this video picture himself, but
- 33:56we got the one with them in laser, laser eyes.
- 33:59Now we did get, I didn't get to hear the whole thing, but from
- 34:02what I can tell, there was not much talk about Bitcoin in this
- 34:05press conference. But I think there is some signs
- 34:08here. There's some signal here on of
- 34:11course, Bitcoin will be one of the focus at least maybe behind
- 34:15the scenes and Naibu Kelly, you know, put it in a tweet and this
- 34:19is I think may this might be the signal.
- 34:21We all know how some of our boys like G money talks about that
- 34:25there's a lot of symbolism with Trump and that you know, some he
- 34:29said certain things that are interesting and you can see
- 34:32Naibu Kelly just quote President B yes, we all know your last
- 34:36name is BU Kelly, but President B sounds like he's hinting at
- 34:40Bitcoin. Anyways, here's a Donald Trump's
- 34:42truth social post and this was over the weekend or this was
- 34:46Friday and it goes looking forward to seeing President
- 34:49Buchelli of El Salvador on Monday.
- 34:51Our nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist
- 34:54organizations and build a future of prosperity.
- 34:58President Buchelli has graciously accepted into his
- 35:00nation's custody some of the most violent alien enemies of
- 35:03the world and in particular the United States.
- 35:05These Barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a
- 35:09proud and sovereign nation again, a proud and sovereign
- 35:13nation, and their future is up to President B and his
- 35:17government. They will never threaten or
- 35:19menace our citizens again. Again, you know, I I don't want
- 35:23to be one of these, you know, read between the lines trust the
- 35:27plan kind of guys, but interesting phrasing here
- 35:30sovereign nation and President B sounds like some Bitcoin
- 35:34narratives popping through here guys and he also, of course, as
- 35:38I was saying, actually let me pull that up first for you guys.
- 35:41The, the main take away here was as Mario Mario Nafal wrote on
- 35:47Twitter, the conversation was basically a meeting about law
- 35:50and order and 0 apologies and Naibu Calais taking in criminals
- 35:55to the very massive, you know, super, super prison here that
- 36:00has caught a lot of Flack. Well, you know, we'll
- 36:02acknowledge the fact that there's people that do not like
- 36:04it and Trump himself on true social basically played the
- 36:08video of the, you know, the PR, the whatever you want to call
- 36:13it, the, the initial release of the big mega prison that El
- 36:18Salvador built down in El Salvador.
- 36:21Now, of course there is a lot of Flack.
- 36:23There's people that agree with this, people that don't, but we
- 36:26all know what is really well and maybe not all of us, but some of
- 36:29us bit corners have a a particular view here.
- 36:32The first thing President Buchelli had to do was fix the
- 36:34money as he did announcing the strategic or sorry, the Bitcoin
- 36:38is legal tender. Yes, there's some, you know,
- 36:40some pullback now with this whole IMF loan, people are kind
- 36:43of being critical about that. But first you have to fix the
- 36:46fix the money and then you need to reinstate law and order,
- 36:50which President Buchele has done.
- 36:52I don't know if you guys saw, I think it was 2 weeks ago, but El
- 36:56Salvador officially got a Gold Star level 1 for one of the
- 37:00actually the safest nation in the world.
- 37:03The tourist level is level 1. It's it's been officially
- 37:07released that it's one of the safest places, if not the safest
- 37:10place to travel to, which I think is incredible thing to
- 37:14see. It literally went from the
- 37:15murder capital of the world to the safest place in the Americas
- 37:19and us Bitcoiners. Now it's because of Bitcoin.
- 37:22We all know it's because of Bitcoin.
- 37:24Yes, he's doing other things outside of Bitcoin, but he's a
- 37:27bitcoiner. And Bitcoin was a huge part of
- 37:30the renovation, the restoration of El Salvador, of course, the
- 37:34savior in Central America. Anyways, you can see here,
- 37:38here's a President Trump meeting Naibu Kelly this morning.
- 37:43You know, just a very friendly handshake.
- 37:45I'm not going to play the whole press release because they
- 37:48didn't really talk about big at all.
- 37:50They, they really talk more about law and order.
- 37:52And they got a lot of questions about, you know, the, the prison
- 37:55and people being shipped there, maybe wrongfully, maybe
- 37:58rightfully, you know, is he going to release these people,
- 38:01etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. You you already know what's
- 38:04going on. But hey, here is the link if you
- 38:07guys want to go check it. I'll drop this in the chat for
- 38:09you guys real quick. So there you go guys.
- 38:11It's on Twitter, of course, or you just go to now you but
- 38:13Kelly's Twitter account, you can watch the whole thing.
- 38:16Well, I, I would say it was a good, good press conference.
- 38:19Again, Bitcoin wasn't talked about here.
- 38:22So this is a Bitcoin show. But you know, I think all roads
- 38:25do lead back to Bitcoin and the signal might just be President
- 38:28B. You know, maybe maybe we're tea
- 38:29leaf reading here again with the Trump tweet.
- 38:32But I'm going to bring this full circle because we have seen
- 38:35something very interesting also play out.
- 38:38And of course it's going to involve Sailor the, the Bitcoin
- 38:41billing of the Giga chat himself.
- 38:43So everyone knows Sailor's been buying a bunch of Bitcoin.
- 38:46He basically had, he, he projects, you know, he
- 38:49telegraphs his buys on Bitcoin. Well, now it's very interesting.
- 38:54So Sailor this morning dropped another strategy buy.
- 38:58Of course, he acquired 3459 Bitcoin for roughly $285.8
- 39:03million. But we also saw Simon Gerovich,
- 39:07of course, of Metaplanet at fame now by 319 bitcoins.
- 39:11So and of course, David Bailey's just kind of trolling the CLBTC
- 39:15Inc. He's like laughing my ass off
- 39:17because now we have just two, you know, huge companies now
- 39:21just just competing to buy more Bitcoin every day.
- 39:25And and the real question is, is like, how long can this be kept
- 39:29up with their buying hundreds, if not thousands of Bitcoin?
- 39:32Like, how is the price still going sideways?
- 39:35This is the question we're all wondering and, and really there,
- 39:38there can't be too many of buyers like this buying Bitcoin
- 39:41constantly if we have this much demand for Bitcoin.
- 39:46I don't know guys, it's very simple here.
- 39:47The price will have to go up. Now what does this have to do
- 39:51with the naive Bukele story? Well, I got a clip from Sailor
- 39:55himself, so This is why I wanted to bring in to this the story
- 39:59with Saylor and Simon buying Bitcoin strategy and metaplaner
- 40:03buying Bitcoin is because of this clip of Michael Saylor.
- 40:06And this is what we'll discuss what's going on. the US could
- 40:10drop the ball on a strategic Bitcoin reserve here.
- 40:12What do you think? I think the Bitcoin is
- 40:14unstoppable. So the truth is Bitcoin doesn't
- 40:16need America. America does need Bitcoin.
- 40:19It's the idea of a strategic reserve is a monetary strategy
- 40:22among other things. So you use glass beads as money
- 40:25and then Europeans come along and notice that you think
- 40:27they're valuable and so they manufacture 1,000,000 glass
- 40:29beads and buy everything in Africa and they own you.
- 40:31You're impoverished. And at some point you wake up
- 40:33and you realize that actually the glass beads didn't make good
- 40:35money. And then if you're using silver
- 40:37and someone demonetizes the silver with gold, they end up
- 40:39owning everything. Or the giant stone coin of the
- 40:41yacht people is they thought the giant stone coins were money.
- 40:43And then some European with a ship came along and realized he
- 40:45could just bring giant stone coins to the island.
- 40:47He did that until he bought up half the island.
- 40:49And then they realized they were impoverished and they were the
- 40:50slaves of the dude with the wooden boat and the giant stone
- 40:53coins were pretty stupid money. Now, what's money in the modern
- 40:56world? The 20th century world has $450
- 40:58trillion of capital money, and it's sitting in the form of
- 41:01private and public equity, foreign real estate, sovereign
- 41:05debt, especially foreign sovereign debt, other people's
- 41:07currency, corporate bonds. Bitcoin is better money.
- 41:11So we can either just leave the world the way it is, or we
- 41:14introduce this idea of Bitcoin. Now, by the way, we can't stop
- 41:17it. Satoshi started the fire.
- 41:18The fire is burning and every single day, 10s or hundreds of
- 41:21millions of dollars of capital are flowing into the network.
- 41:24It's going to go from 2 billion to 20 billion to 200 billion to
- 41:272 trillion, to 20 trillion to 200 trillion.
- 41:29And when it gets to 200 trillion, it'll chop along at
- 41:31plus 20% to eventually 304 hundred $500 trillion.
- 41:35And where is that capital going to come from?
- 41:36It's going to come from Russian real estate.
- 41:38It's going to come from Chinese private equity.
- 41:40It's going to come from everything in Africa, everything
- 41:42in South America. You have capital flowing from
- 41:44foreign financial and physical assets to Bitcoin.
- 41:48You have capital flowing from 20th century assets to Bitcoin
- 41:51to the capital is going to flow from the 20th century to the
- 41:5321st century. It's going to flow from physical
- 41:55to digital. It's going to flow from currency
- 41:57based derivatives to to a digital commodity derivative.
- 42:01So it's already happening. It's unstoppable.
- 42:04It's literally like for me to say bitcoins going to demonetize
- 42:06gold under states it yeah, it's going to demonetize gold.
- 42:08Then it's going to demonetize the real estate that's 10X more
- 42:10than gold. Then it's going to.
- 42:15All right, guys, sorry, everyone's yelling at the fact
- 42:17that it was sailat 1.5 X here, but you know the the signal
- 42:22remains the same. This is what we were talking
- 42:24about. This is why I wanted to bring
- 42:25this into the Naibu Kelly and President Trump meeting at the
- 42:29White House today is because we all know that it's not that
- 42:33America or Bitcoin needs the American government here.
- 42:37It's the government that needs Bitcoin.
- 42:39And we're starting to see that that signal is catching on.
- 42:42And we have a perfect example of what that does to a the country.
- 42:45Obviously El Salvador has its own problems.
- 42:48It was a small country. The GDP I think is still roughly
- 42:51around 32 billion. So it's a tiny country.
- 42:54And you could see what Bitcoin does to that country.
- 42:57But of course it's it was the most dangerous country in the
- 42:59Americas, in the world actually. And Bitcoin was a huge part of
- 43:05its turn around. And I would love to see
- 43:08something similar happen in the US Yes, I know we talk about the
- 43:11separation of money and state here on simply Bitcoin
- 43:13constantly. But we we all know that if you
- 43:16start acquiring Bitcoin, if you have a more friendly Bitcoin
- 43:19environment, your country, your economy is going to improve.
- 43:24And that's the signal that we constantly try to spread to more
- 43:27people. As an individual, you need
- 43:29Bitcoin, as a corporation, you need Bitcoin.
- 43:31And yes, even as a nation state, you need Bitcoin.
- 43:35All roads lead to Bitcoin. This is the future that we're
- 43:37heading towards. And yes, I know a lot of people
- 43:39like, oh, cashless future. This sounds horrible.
- 43:42There's a choice here. It's either CBDC distilled or
- 43:46it's a freedom Max the world with Bitcoin.
- 43:49And obviously here we, we recommend Bitcoin, we, we have
- 43:52our biases. We think Bitcoin will usher in a
- 43:55new era of prosperity, not just for the US or El Salvador, but
- 43:59for the world. And This is why we do what we do
- 44:01because it will help you as an individual, but it will help
- 44:04freedom number go up will help freedom go up will help
- 44:07responsibility go up and this will get exported to everywhere
- 44:11on every corner of planet Earth. Anyways, I've been yapping too
- 44:14long. Chris, what's your thoughts on
- 44:16this? Yeah, I think Sailor makes many
- 44:19great points about Bitcoin. I think like the point remains
- 44:23the same that Bitcoin doesn't need America, but America needs
- 44:27Bitcoin. And I think in the long run,
- 44:30like you can take that to any, any individual or any person,
- 44:33like you want the hardest, the strongest form of money in the
- 44:36world. You know, gold was kind of
- 44:37coalesced on the last 5000 years.
- 44:39We've talked about the issues that gold has and bitcoins been
- 44:42the perfect money. And that's the best money that
- 44:44we see for the foreseeable future at this point.
- 44:47You want to build the foundation of your family, your community,
- 44:50your state, your nation state, governments, whatever it may be.
- 44:54You want to build it on the bedrock of of the hardest money
- 44:56ever and I think worlds your life is only getting up better.
- 44:59If we have El Salvador as a small example of that, a much
- 45:02smaller country with 6 million people or there about, you know,
- 45:05and they've kind of seen a resurgence in their economy, the
- 45:08safety that people like, everything small business,
- 45:12tourism and everything like that.
- 45:13I think that they built it on Bitcoin is a big factor of it.
- 45:16Obviously, there's many other components of Buchelli's
- 45:18leadership and his team that they did, but it was built on
- 45:21Bitcoin in the beginning and I think that was a big part of the
- 45:24resurgence there. I hope the Trump and Trump's
- 45:26administration, they seem to have very a basic understanding
- 45:29of Bitcoin, but I hope that they dive into it and do more
- 45:32research into it and delve into understanding and learning about
- 45:35Bitcoin compared to all the other cryptocurrencies, compared
- 45:37to Fiat currencies, compared to bonds and all the other things.
- 45:40Yeah, I totally agree. Chris couldn't couldn't have
- 45:42said it better. See, This is why Chris and I are
- 45:44a good balance. I I give the, you know, lukewarm
- 45:46IQ take here, a 45 IQ and Chris steps it up to we'll say like
- 45:51120 IQ. You know, like I'm not going to
- 45:53say you're the genius on the show, but we're we're a good
- 45:55balance. Anyways, anyways, I'm trolling
- 45:57Coindad. What's your thoughts on let's
- 45:59start with obviously the the press conference of Buchele and
- 46:03Trump and then this idea or this quote from sailor of Bitcoin
- 46:07doesn't need America. It's America that needs Bitcoin.
- 46:11So I have a lot of respect for President Buchelli.
- 46:15I think that him being here with Trump to discuss safety, I think
- 46:20might even be a little bit more important than talking Bitcoin
- 46:24right now. The reason why I say that is
- 46:27because he started fixing El Salvador on the safety side
- 46:30before he made Bitcoin legal tender.
- 46:34And I have been there several times to El Salvador.
- 46:36I went to Bitcoin Beach. I've seen the Capitol and I have
- 46:41experienced first hand the safety of the country.
- 46:46And I was there, ironically, the the weekend that I went there, I
- 46:50was there when he had his election.
- 46:52So I seen like SWAT team trucks where they were moving paper
- 46:56ballots from, you know, an election line that was long as
- 47:00heck early in the morning. People were waiting in line to
- 47:02to vote for him. I have, I have photos on my
- 47:05phone of all this stuff. And, and the crazy part is, is
- 47:09like, I wanted to go to the beach, enjoy a little drink and
- 47:11stuff. There's no alcohol allowed in El
- 47:13Salvador during the elections because they want you to make a
- 47:16sound decision when you're voting that you're not messed
- 47:19up. So the day before, the day of
- 47:20and the day after, it's illegal in the whole country of El
- 47:23Salvador to drink alcohol. But when I moved around the
- 47:26country, I seen elderly, like 80 year old people that were just
- 47:31like enjoying shooting dice and playing cards in the park with
- 47:34the pigeons flying kids going through the fountains of the
- 47:37water from the water park that's in the downtown area there.
- 47:42And, and you just felt this freedom oozing out of the people
- 47:45that live there. And I actually got a little bit
- 47:48jealous while I was there and experienced that.
- 47:50And I'm not going to lie to you like, so I figured out that
- 47:54safety is really first, because even if you get into Bitcoin and
- 47:59do all the Bitcoin stuff, you got to keep your mouth shut.
- 48:01You can't tell anybody like you're even into it for the most
- 48:05part, because you don't know who you're going to talk to that's
- 48:07on the bad apple side that wants to harm you or, or Jack you up
- 48:11or whatever, like some of the stories that you hear online.
- 48:14So he fixed the safety of the country and built that prison
- 48:18and, and swooped all the bad people off the road and to the
- 48:21where there's nothing left but good people.
- 48:23And I felt it and I experienced it.
- 48:25And I would love to see America, you know, slowly start to heal
- 48:29on that side of the house alongside, of course of bitcoins
- 48:32growth and and mass adoption in the country.
- 48:35So yeah, that's it's contagious, that freedom and that runs along
- 48:40with Bitcoin. Totally, totally.
- 48:43Yeah. One of the things he said at the
- 48:45press conference today that Trump even kind of that was
- 48:48saying like, hey, that that's actually some pretty good
- 48:50marketing you got there. Can I steal That was Boo Kelly
- 48:54essentially said, yeah, there's been a lot of people talking
- 48:57smack about what I've done in the prison.
- 48:59And you know, there's there's people that are cynical and
- 49:02critical of what he's doing and he's like, yeah, they're saying
- 49:05that I imprisoned, you know, that 10s of thousands of people
- 49:08and he's like, but I flipped it and what I really did is I
- 49:11liberated millions of people and I thought that was really good
- 49:15framing that some good memetics by Boo Kelly and Trump was in
- 49:18like, oh, I like that. That's great.
- 49:20I'm can I use that? You know this in classic Trump
- 49:23fashion. So I I think you're 100% spot
- 49:26on, guys. All right, guys, we have over
- 49:292500 of you guys watching live. Make sure you smash the like
- 49:32button, push this in the algos. But we got a very, very cool.

- 49:45We got some really cool stories here.

- 52:21here. We did the bitlock boom ticket
- 52:22giveaway and I I had to do it live.

- 52:29little subjective here a little bit.
- 52:31Anyway, Coindad, let's do the giveaway, do the giveaway rules
- 52:35real quick and then we can do some show and tell talk about

- 53:00yeah, there you go. These two cards right here,

- 57:12couple weeks down our stream, there's different posts.
- 57:15Find the post that tells you what the oldest miner in my
- 57:20museum is and put that model in the reply What is the oldest
- 57:25miner in my museum? Which just got added and we
- 57:28showcased it at Mining Disrupt for the first time.
- 57:31Let's What is the oldest miner in my museum now?
- 57:34OK, let's go, Let's go. All right, there you go.
- 57:37First two questions, guys. I'll give you some time so that
- 57:40we can pick some winners here, but no, please don't.
- 57:45Please. My, my mental, my mental
- 57:47bandwidth cannot handle that. OK, OK, Anyways, Coindad, let's
- 57:52do some show and tell so people can comment, can search real
- 57:55quick. You have some really cool miners
- 57:57behind you. Actually, let's talk just the
- 58:00general Bitcoin mining museum and then you can do show and
- 58:03tell. So what is the Bitcoin Mining
- 58:05Museum for those people that aren't aware?
- 58:08So the Bitcoin Mining Museum is basically preserving the history
- 58:13of the only tangible part that Bitcoin has.
- 58:16You know, everybody's always like you can't see Bitcoin, you
- 58:18can't touch Bitcoin, but there is a tangible part and that's
- 58:21the miners. And just like we're saving Apple
- 58:25computers and, and Macintoshes from the old days and all that,
- 58:29there's a history for the computers or for any museum type
- 58:34out there. We're preserving.
- 58:36Nobody out there is preserving the history.
- 58:38And I figured this out like four or five years ago while I was
- 58:42searching online trying to find a Bitcoin museum because I had
- 58:44some rare machines already. And I'm like, you know, let me
- 58:47see what's out there. And, and it was crickets.
- 58:49There was nothing out there when I was searching for Bitcoin
- 58:52museums. So I'm like, why don't I just
- 58:54start one? So I'm, I'm met, you know, Tyler
- 58:58and Parker and, and Lance and they're all huge.
- 59:02They're guys on my team that I call hash historians instead of
- 59:05historians. But yes, for the last five years
- 59:09I've been searching around the globe, I've met a lot of Ogs
- 59:12from the very early days as far back as to one of the 1st 50
- 59:17Bitcoin miners in the world. So they helped me out with
- 59:21finding different machines. So over the last half a decade
- 59:25we built up to over 128. There you go right there, 128
- 59:29different machines. Now that's our gallery.
- 59:33It's pretty impressive to see all this in person when I go to
- 59:36the exhibits or I go to the conferences with my exhibit.
- 59:39And what's dope is to see not just Ogs see their old miners
- 59:45from a decade ago and, and get emotional over it, but to see
- 59:48the newbies that come in because they want to learn about
- 59:50Bitcoin. And then they physically see
- 59:53this whole chronological order history of Bitcoin miners.
- 59:57And then they figure out like this is legit.
- 1:00:00So they actually go home with his mind frame.
- 1:00:02Like man, I just seen something real.
- 1:00:05So I, I love what we built. We're continuing to continuing
- 1:00:09to scale. Every single conference I meet
- 1:00:11somebody new that has something that I don't have.
- 1:00:14We either buy it from them where they donate it or whatnot.
- 1:00:17So yeah, that behind me right now is literally the backbone of
- 1:00:23everything that we're doing in this space.
- 1:00:24That's the DNA. Like nobody would have a job in
- 1:00:27this industry. Sailor wouldn't be doing what
- 1:00:29he's doing. You guys wouldn't have this
- 1:00:31show. Like I wouldn't have the museum.
- 1:00:34Nobody would have nothing without the backbone of what's
- 1:00:36behind me right there. So I think that is highly
- 1:00:39important because this is how we educate the future.
- 1:00:42How can we educate the future if we don't preserve the past?
- 1:00:46Totally, totally couldn't agree more.
- 1:00:48And we were we were kind of a we were kind of a trolling before
- 1:00:53we went live. Hold on.
- 1:00:54It's looking weird. We're looking weird here.
- 1:00:57There we go. We were kind of talking about it
- 1:01:00and it's very interesting. So the first time I saw the
- 1:01:04museum calling dad, one thing that I noticed was essentially
- 1:01:08the size of the miners, how they've increased.
- 1:01:10So, you know, there was a small little miners and then they got
- 1:01:14really big and now they seem to be getting smaller again.
- 1:01:18And I just find that so interesting.
- 1:01:20It it never clicked until I saw it like all, you know, lined up
- 1:01:23going chronological. I was just like, oh, man, it
- 1:01:25started so small and then they got huge.
- 1:01:28And now, you know, they're getting better at creating these
- 1:01:31machines. They're getting smaller again.
- 1:01:33And Chris was kind of trolling. He's like, yeah, and soon
- 1:01:35they're going to get even bigger, and then they'll get
- 1:01:37even smaller again, maybe getting back to like Ausb kind
- 1:01:40of, you know, ASIC or something. Everyone's going to have an ASIC
- 1:01:44in their pocket or in their neural link or whatever.
- 1:01:47But computer on this quantum computing on this little thing
- 1:01:5210 years from now. But yeah, show and tell I got.
- 1:01:58Let's see something interesting that a lot of y'all probably
- 1:02:00don't know clean this up here, but this right here is a cell
- 1:02:06phone. It's an N 900 Nokia and back in
- 1:02:10December 7th, 2010, somebody actually mined off of they had
- 1:02:15the blockchain on here. They hadn't, they mined off the
- 1:02:19battery and then I think it was .43 Bitcoin that they sent to
- 1:02:24another Nokia cell phone holder and then the blockchain, the
- 1:02:27network difficulty the very next day moved up.
- 1:02:30So you couldn't even do this anymore after that one moment in
- 1:02:34time, which is actually on Bitcoin Talk.
- 1:02:37So that story is about on Bitcoin Talk about it.
- 1:02:43Then we have this too. So this is again, like I said,
- 1:02:50these conferences are dope because I meet people that I've
- 1:02:53never met before that have stories that I never heard
- 1:02:55before. And that's one thing We're not
- 1:02:57just preserving the history of the machines, but we're
- 1:03:00interviewing privately interviewing OG's because some
- 1:03:03of them don't want to be publicly known or whatnot and
- 1:03:06getting stories from them because this is some of the
- 1:03:08stuff you can't Google online. You can't just search for
- 1:03:11somebody's personal experience about, you know, using stuff
- 1:03:14like this. So this is the chips on here is
- 1:03:17130 nanometer and this is a ASIC blade V1 ASIC miner and there's
- 1:03:24a guy named fried cat back in the day.
- 1:03:25He's kind of like the Vitalik Buterin of, of mining, skinny
- 1:03:29Chinese guy, very smart and he invented one of the first ASIC
- 1:03:35chips in the world and the 130, I mean, imagine the, the
- 1:03:39efficiency 130 nanometer in here and today we're at what, 323?
- 1:03:453 nanometers. 2 nanometers. 3 nanometers now, I mean, in a
- 1:03:48decade, we moved into so much efficiency in just a decade.
- 1:03:53I mean, compare that to like brick and mortar banks.
- 1:03:55A bank that's from 10 years ago is still there today.
- 1:03:58Maybe they upgraded their computer network with whatever
- 1:04:01software they're using, but still same air conditioners,
- 1:04:04still same big old freaking Fiat vaults sitting in there.
- 1:04:08Nothing ever got more efficient. Still got the same old
- 1:04:10buildings, but with the Bitcoin network, it just gets better and
- 1:04:14better and faster and faster and more efficient over time.
- 1:04:17And this is living proof of it. But yeah, this is one of the
- 1:04:21they came like this too. You had to get your own box fan.
- 1:04:24You had to figure out how to put these together and, and, and
- 1:04:27keep them cool and stuff. This one came with a heat sink,
- 1:04:31but they didn't come in like a like back here with these cases
- 1:04:35and stuff with fans already built on them.
- 1:04:36That was later on. So this is a really cool piece
- 1:04:40of history right here. The other one I want to show is
- 1:04:46technically one of the questions.
- 1:04:49I can't even show it right now, it looks.
- 1:04:53Like, OK, so it looks like we did get someone that answered it
- 1:04:57correctly in the chat. So let me pull that up.
- 1:04:59And then there's still chance to answer the first question.
- 1:05:02Maybe we need to reiterate the first question, but the second
- 1:05:05one, which was the oldest miner you got?
- 1:05:08Hold on. I'm I'm trying to find it in the
- 1:05:09chat. So again, comment on the Twitter
- 1:05:12post the 1st 10 of you guys, you'll get some training cards,
- 1:05:16but we we got the answer in the chat here.
- 1:05:19So someone got it. I'm I'm trying to find it.
- 1:05:21Chris commented on it. Let me see where it went to the
- 1:05:25winner is yes and and Elaine, I I did kind of blow it, but hey,
- 1:05:29you know, I'm doing it live. I'm doing it live.
- 1:05:30You know it's it's hard. So here we go.
- 1:05:34Where is it? OK, It was haws up haws up, I
- 1:05:39believe got the first one. Where'd it go?
- 1:05:42Where's the correct answer? I have.
- 1:05:43I haven't seen it. OK, Ha's up.
- 1:05:45Here we go. Ha's Sup on YouTube.
- 1:05:48Got it correct. FPGA minor.
- 1:05:52So let's show it now, OK? All right.
- 1:05:55Yeah, DM me on DM the Simply Bitcoin TV on Twitter.
- 1:05:58I don't know how we'll verify if you're Ha's Sup, but we'll
- 1:06:01figure it out. We'll figure it out.
- 1:06:06Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're good.
- 1:06:08You're good. So here, here, here, this one
- 1:06:11gets its own case like this is like like to me.
- 1:06:17So so you had the era of CPU with laptops and computers when
- 1:06:21they first started mining when Satoshi first released Bitcoin,
- 1:06:25right? Then you had that was roughly
- 1:06:282009, 2010 going in a little 2000, mostly 2010, then 2011,
- 1:06:332012 was GPU era. But in 2012, before January 2013
- 1:06:40when ASICS came out, you had a short period.
- 1:06:45I have a OG group in in my museum with a board like a 10 O
- 1:06:49GS in there. And I talked to them about it
- 1:06:52and we agreed that it was roughly a six to 10 month
- 1:06:55period, a very short period where Fpgas were mining Bitcoin
- 1:07:00before ASICS killed the FPGA area very quickly.
- 1:07:04So the era, because it's so small, they're very hard to
- 1:07:08find. So this took me over 4 years to
- 1:07:10find, but this one is from the founder himself and two cool
- 1:07:18things that he did for me. One, it's the only one ever
- 1:07:22signed by him. He's never signed a minor before
- 1:07:25ever. So this is the FPGA, each one of
- 1:07:29these chips right here there there's basically 1234 chips and
- 1:07:33behind the heat sinks they only do 250 mega hash.
- 1:07:38So this whole miner is only one giga hash.
- 1:07:41So you need like, I don't know, a million of them or more to
- 1:07:45equal like today's miner. Now they I think it's more than
- 1:07:48a million. I think it's these right here
- 1:07:50that you need almost 1,000,000, this is several million to equal
- 1:07:54today's miner. But the other cool part that
- 1:07:57nobody in the world has that he donated to the museum is the
- 1:08:03prototype of the board of the miner that he made, and he
- 1:08:07signed it as well. So this was the first prototype
- 1:08:10before he made these and sold these.
- 1:08:12And the other cool part about this is, is that this actually
- 1:08:15mined the 50 Bitcoin block in the first epoch in 2012.
- 1:08:20So to say that this actually mine 50 Bitcoin is insane.
- 1:08:24Yeah, that's the story about the FPGA right there.
- 1:08:28And I I easily see this being worth millions of dollars in the
- 1:08:32future. Love it love it OK, well, Chris
- 1:08:35tells me I I can't confirm here, but I'm I'm, you know blame
- 1:08:39Chris here he's my confirmation checking in the chat but all
- 1:08:45right wait man, I I got to double check it.
- 1:08:47OK, now I now I have to actually confirm all right Coindad deal
- 1:08:50with do another story, because I'm trying to confirm the first
- 1:08:53question in the chat now now there's some doubt with there's
- 1:08:56some we got to verify the election results here on live on
- 1:09:00the chat all right I'm trying to figure it out.
- 1:09:04It looks like we might have a winner, but I I got to double
- 1:09:06check the chat. So Coindad continue shut
- 1:09:08something else real quick. Or actually, oh, someone, I
- 1:09:12think, I think someone just answered it, though maybe we'll
- 1:09:17have to loosen, loosen the, the, the the answer a little bit
- 1:09:22'cause they aren't being that. For which question?
- 1:09:26The first or. The first one, the first one.
- 1:09:27So actually Coindad before, before we verify the results
- 1:09:32here, let's do a bit World Center.
- 1:09:36We'll plug that real quick. And then of course, we we will
- 1:09:39announce the the final winner here on the show live.
- 1:09:43OK, you have the. Yeah, I have it.
- 1:09:45Pulled it out right here. One second.
- 1:09:46Here we go, all. Right.
- 1:09:49So this is my vision now that Trump is in office or this
- 1:09:55administration that's pro Bitcoin is in office, I think
- 1:09:59it's a great time to for me to tell my vision to the world.
- 1:10:05And my idea is bit World Center. Bit World Center would basically
- 1:10:11be like the backbone of the museum would the museum would be
- 1:10:14the backbone of this place, but it would be a center to where
- 1:10:18you can do multiple different things.
- 1:10:20Where you'd have like a Bar and Grill with a menu where you know
- 1:10:23the peoples from like Satoshi and Hal Finney and all these OG
- 1:10:27names are in there keep their name alive.
- 1:10:29You would have a education place where you can do like a orange
- 1:10:34pill course and be orange pilled.
- 1:10:36After a couple hours of being a personal walkthrough through the
- 1:10:40museum, getting educated, the somebody that's a Bitcoin maxi
- 1:10:47wants to get married and be surrounded by the history of
- 1:10:49Bitcoin. They can rent this place out on
- 1:10:51a Saturday and have a Bitcoin themed wedding.
- 1:10:54A sailor can bring CE OS there to orange peel them while
- 1:10:58they're physically seeing stuff. But the reason why I chose DC,
- 1:11:04there was many options. There was Dallas and Charlotte
- 1:11:06and Nashville and Miami to do something like this.
- 1:11:10But the reason why I like these DC is because we still have
- 1:11:14people that are high of age in Washington DC that don't
- 1:11:20understand Bitcoin and buy them. Just coming down the street and
- 1:11:23physically being able to see a physical history of Bitcoin with
- 1:11:26the machines might help orange peel them to see that, you know,
- 1:11:30bitcoins real. The other thing is the
- 1:11:34educational system with schools, middle school, high school, some
- 1:11:38colleges, they do field trips to DC to go see the White House and
- 1:11:42go see, you know, the capital and stuff like that.
- 1:11:44And by having the Bitcoin bit World Center over there, then
- 1:11:48they could also funnel through and see the history of Bitcoin,
- 1:11:52you know, maybe somewhere around the Smithsonian or something
- 1:11:55over there. I don't know.
- 1:11:58I, I don't know where funding is going to come from for, for
- 1:12:00this, but I do believe in manifestation.
- 1:12:04That's why I'm bringing it out there to you guys, to the
- 1:12:06community. On that site is a Bitcoin wallet
- 1:12:10address. Maybe there's a whale out there
- 1:12:13with 5000 Bitcoin who's like, you know what I love his, I love
- 1:12:17what he's doing. Here's 10 Bitcoin.
- 1:12:19Go make it happen. I thought about a non profit,
- 1:12:22but I didn't really like the idea of the whole board of
- 1:12:25directors because sometimes I have to make fast decisions and
- 1:12:28I ain't got time to wait 5 days. Like I, I want that freedom to
- 1:12:32move quick 'cause I'm, I'm a fast mover when it comes to
- 1:12:35stuff. And I didn't like the idea of
- 1:12:39maybe, I don't know, I'm, I'm, I want to speak to Bo Hines and,
- 1:12:43and David Sachs maybe at, at the, at the conference in Las
- 1:12:46Vegas since they're speaking there.
- 1:12:48But you have, you know, Elon Musk mentioned that over 400
- 1:12:53federal buildings are not being used and they're going to start
- 1:12:55selling them. So maybe the government might
- 1:12:58say, you know what? We Trump wants the United States
- 1:13:03to be the Bitcoin capital of the world, right.
- 1:13:05So what better moment in time to have bit world center set up in
- 1:13:08DC and as a part of Trump's vision and, and donate one of
- 1:13:12these 400 buildings that they're talking about and, and, and, and
- 1:13:16let us build out of that. And then the community come in
- 1:13:18together to help with whatever needs to be done to to pay the
- 1:13:21bills in there. I got a five man team with my
- 1:13:23museum. I live five hours away.
- 1:13:26So it kind of be a pain in the butt right now to go back and
- 1:13:29forth, but I could find people that are in DC that could run
- 1:13:32it. But I have a lot of ideas like
- 1:13:35like like just imagine walking in and the floors made out of
- 1:13:38the genesis block and the ceiling has S 9 miners hanging
- 1:13:42everywhere as LED lights with the little green and red
- 1:13:45flashing lights. Look like the whole ceiling is
- 1:13:47mining Bitcoin while you're walking into this place.
- 1:13:51Haven't haven't. This is right here under this
- 1:13:54Lambo is the Avalon one. That's the world's first ASIC
- 1:13:58minor, first dedicated machine right there.
- 1:14:01They only made 600 of them. That machine, the the is
- 1:14:05actually at the world's biggest computer museum in in
- 1:14:09California. They have one too, but imagine
- 1:14:13that being the centerpiece of Bit World Center, where you walk
- 1:14:16in and you got these laser lights around it, kind of like
- 1:14:18the Mona Lisa of mining, you know, like holy smokes, that's
- 1:14:21freaking awesome when you walk in.
- 1:14:23I don't want no boring museum. I want something that's as fun
- 1:14:26and as awesome as Bitcoin. So why not build the world's
- 1:14:30first Bit World Center? Love it guys.
- 1:14:33So for the audio listeners, make sure you go to a bit
- 1:14:36worldcenter.com if you're interested in this project that
- 1:14:40Coindad's building. OK, we finally we have the
- 1:14:43results are in. Actually, it was it was answered
- 1:14:48earlier by what was it Skater 113, But he said he cheated
- 1:14:53because he was sitting that he he was there when this happened
- 1:14:56and he doesn't he doesn't need the the prize gift.
- 1:14:58So I, you know, I tried to triple verify this.
- 1:15:01So it seems like the second winner is Satoshi 21.
- 1:15:06We're we're going to be a little looser here because we're live
- 1:15:09and we got to wrap up the show. But Samson gave Coindad a hat.
- 1:15:14You know, if if there was, if there's some specific here,
- 1:15:17there you go. There you go.
- 1:15:19So that was the correct answer. Again, Satoshi 21 reach out to
- 1:15:25us on simply Bitcoin TV. And the first one was Ha's up.
- 1:15:29I believe it is. Reach out to us on Twitter, DM
- 1:15:34us, and we will figure out a way to verify that you guys are
- 1:15:37actually the people who actually won.
- 1:15:40Here we go. All right, guys.
- 1:15:41Well, Congrats on OK. Well, Coindad, thank you so
- 1:15:45much. Let's do you know one, one last
- 1:15:47final message to the audience and then we will wrap up today's
- 1:15:50show. Oh me.
- 1:15:54Yeah, yeah, Coindad, what's the final message sounded?
- 1:15:57Like you were going to a commercial or something.
- 1:16:03Well, buy more Bitcoin. How about that?
- 1:16:06There's the best. Like to be honest with you, I'm,
- 1:16:12I've, I've gotten numb to the volatility of Bitcoin over the
- 1:16:15years. I, I hope that more people get
- 1:16:17to that level to where you just, you don't really care what the
- 1:16:20price is because you know that the technology's never going to
- 1:16:23change. The fundamentals will never
- 1:16:24change no matter what happens in this world, whatever negative
- 1:16:28news you see out there, if you see the price drop, go sell your
- 1:16:32dog, go mow somebody's lawn, do what you got to do to get some
- 1:16:36more sats and keep stacking. They, they, they told me all my
- 1:16:39life growing up, don't put all your eggs in the one basket.
- 1:16:42I think that has finally changed and that for the first time in
- 1:16:45our lives, we have a more than all in one basket, which is
- 1:16:49Bitcoin. So on the museum side, I thank
