The Greatest Lie Ever Told Is The Dollar In Your Pocket | Beyond Bitcoin · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  As of this recording, Bitcoin is at some number that you're
• 0:02
  probably familiar with. Now, I want to start there
• 0:04
  because everything I'm about to say has a number underneath it.
• 0:08
  And that number is just the tip of the iceberg.
• 0:11
  I want to tell you a story about something that I discovered
• 0:14
  while I was in 4th grade. Get your mind out of the gutter.
• 0:17
  All right? Back then, we had a kind of
• 0:19
  marketplace day. The teacher, Miss Payne, printed
• 0:22
  little sheets of money on green paper, and it carried little
• 0:25
  symbols on it. You know, much like our money
• 0:27
  does today, our real money. Every kid got a stack of paper
• 0:32
  and on marketplace day, the kids brought candy, cookies, toys,
• 0:36
  Anything you wish to trade, you can trade with this this paper
• 0:40
  that Miss Payne printed out. When the paper ran out, it ran
• 0:44
  out. And I remember trying to hold
• 0:46
  out on buying certain items to conserve the money.
• 0:50
  But then something happened and this is the part that stuck with
• 0:54
  me. The day ended.
• 0:56
  Miss Payne had us pack up our markets and put them back in our
• 0:59
  backpacks. Marketplace day was over and the
• 1:02
  paper expired. Naturally.
• 1:04
  It's not like we had Marketplace week or Marketplace month or
• 1:08
  year. The day came and it went.
• 1:11
  What I remember most was coming home with a stack of unused
• 1:14
  bills in my backpack. I looked at these bills and they
• 1:17
  meant something completely different to me at the beginning
• 1:19
  of the day than they did at the end of the day.
• 1:23
  And the reason was the simple decree from a person with
• 1:26
  institutional authority. The exercise was supposed to be
• 1:29
  a fun way of learning simple concepts of arithmetic and
• 1:33
  conservation, but in a way, we never left that classroom.
• 1:37
  I'm Oceans. This is beyond Bitcoin.
• 1:40
  Let's go. The only difference between the
• 1:47
  4th grade marketplace and the global economy is that the
• 1:50
  market never closes. People need to keep trading.
• 1:54
  But this happens even as the paper expires in slow motion
• 1:58
  every day. A dollar today is not a dollar
• 2:01
  tomorrow. Some of its value has
• 2:03
  depreciated with every day that passes.
• 2:06
  But let's say you're like Miss Payne issuing this money at the
• 2:09
  beginning of the day. Or more accurately, you're like
• 2:12
  the Fed. What happens when people get
• 2:14
  home and they look in their backpacks and they see this
• 2:17
  currency that no longer means what it did at the beginning of
• 2:21
  the day? You can't just call the day over
• 2:24
  and start it again. You have to keep the appearance
• 2:28
  that the value of the money at the beginning of the day is
• 2:30
  still the same as it is at the end of the day.
• 2:33
  Everything is fine. Maintaining the appearance of
• 2:38
  value when the underlying value is degrading requires a full
• 2:42
  production, not just in the sense of printing the money or
• 2:46
  fashioning the institutions around securing the ones and
• 2:49
  zeros in your bank account. I'm talking about a Hollywood
• 2:53
  cinema style production. Sets, lighting, performers.
• 2:59
  You need a magician on the stage, someone to hold the
• 3:02
  audience's attention while the trick happens.
• 3:06
  And the people who built this system, they are very good at
• 3:10
  holding attention. They are all, in essence, the
• 3:13
  Wizards of Oz. You know, cuz Oz is like outs
• 3:17
  and the yellow brick road and gold turned into a synthetic
• 3:21
  commodity because it's just paper in the markets and nothing
• 3:24
  is actually being traded. You know what I'm talking about.
• 3:27
  Your feed is also full of conspiracy garble.
• 3:29
  But how far does this facade reach into your daily life?
• 3:34
  The facade that the value is actually what it's supposed to
• 3:36
  be? Well, let's do some quick napkin
• 3:40
  math, huh? We have increased synthetic
• 3:43
  food, increased synthetic clothing, increased synthetic
• 3:47
  experiences. Everything designed gives you
• 3:50
  synthetic value at the expense of your own real value, which is
• 3:54
  your time. Yeah, we out here on vacation in
• 3:58
  the Bahamas. Another beautiful day.
• 4:00
  Check it out. Check it out.
• 4:03
  I'm going to talk to y'all for a minute about the power of
• 4:06
  perception. You see, there's a lot that goes
• 4:11
  in to being a hot social media content provider.
• 4:16
  For instance, y'all think I got time to go on vacation?
• 4:20
  No, I got social to do. Come on man, this is blue
• 4:23
  screen. In fact, I'm gonna keep it 100
• 4:27
  with y'all. I haven't looked like this good
• 4:32
  in years. I've been totally computer
• 4:34
  generated since like the 90s. You know what?
• 4:39
  This ain't even real blue screen.
• 4:42
  It's 2019 y'all. Nothing's real.
• 4:55
  I was once at a silk factory in Thailand.
• 4:57
  The storefront was stunning. Hundreds of beautifully woven
• 5:00
  silk dresses, suits, all kinds of attire.
• 5:04
  The tour guide walked us through it and gave us the story.
• 5:07
  And then we went behind the storefront, went to the back.
• 5:11
  The lighting was very different. The lighting was dingy.
• 5:14
  The whole place was frumpy, the whole operation was old and
• 5:18
  decrepit. And there was a woman there.
• 5:20
  I remember this woman spinning silk from a bowl of silkworms.
• 5:24
  She had a cigarette hanging from her mouth, staring into the
• 5:28
  distance. We we were just standing 2 feet
• 5:30
  from her, and she didn't even register us.
• 5:32
  She didn't even see us. She just kept spinning, grabbing
• 5:36
  the thread as it came off the worm.
• 5:38
  The silkworms were just feeding endlessly, producing the
• 5:43
  material that someone would eventually wear on the street to
• 5:46
  look the part. Once again, behind the curtain,
• 5:50
  behind the shiny facade is a crumbling system operating on
• 5:54
  ancient technology. And it's this very compulsion to
• 5:57
  maintain the narrative, maintain the K fab or K fab of the shiny
• 6:02
  coat. It, it strikes me as being
• 6:05
  ironic that orthodox conventional wisdom was bleed
• 6:08
  the patient to death. And this was the most important
• 6:11
  patient in the country, maybe in the history of the country.
• 6:15
  And it's, and we bled him to death trying to help him.
• 6:18
  So when you're actually inflating the money supply at
• 6:22
  7%, but you're calling it 2% because you want to help the
• 6:26
  economy, you're literally bleeding the the free market to
• 6:32
  death. But the sad fact is George
• 6:34
  Washington went along with it because he thought that they
• 6:37
  were going to do him good. And the majority of of the
• 6:42
  society, most companies, most most conventional thinkers, you
• 6:47
  know, the working class, they go along with this because they
• 6:52
  think that someone has their best interest in mind.
• 6:55
  And the people that are bleeding them to death believe they they
• 6:59
  believe that prescription because they're mental models
• 7:02
  are just so defective. And then an understanding of
• 7:05
  energy and engineering and and and the economics that are at
• 7:11
  play is is crippled by the mental models.
• 7:16
  I have an entire background of working in the movie business.
• 7:19
  I've seen a lot of sets, especially on Universal Studios.
• 7:23
  You can walk down those streets, those fake New York streets.
• 7:26
  That Pax Americana aesthetic looks completely real from the
• 7:30
  street. Beautiful facades.
• 7:33
  Every building looks occupied. And when you go inside, there's
• 7:37
  there's nothing there. It's just false walls.
• 7:39
  It's just wood. The front is a representation.
• 7:43
  Everything else is hollow, completely hollow, like there's
• 7:46
  nothing inside of it. Now look at a dollar bill.
• 7:49
  All that symbolism, the eagle, the pyramid, the Latin.
• 7:53
  Very suggestive of something. Authority, history, permanence.
• 7:58
  But a dollar today is not a dollar tomorrow.
• 8:01
  The year after that, it buys less.
• 8:03
  And the year after that, well, it buys even less.
• 8:07
  You hold it up against what it can actually buy.
• 8:10
  And behind the storefront, behind the symbolism, it
• 8:12
  degrades overtime, quietly, until there's nothing inside of
• 8:16
  it. Just like those universal studio
• 8:18
  walls, beautiful from the front, nothing on the back.
• 8:23
  It seems like everything in our current system is being faked,
• 8:25
  from presidential candidates to aeronautical missions.
• 8:28
  Everything is being treated like it's a production from
• 8:31
  Hollywood. Computer generated,
• 8:34
  algorithmically charged, and completely overshadowing
• 8:37
  reality. How can we even communicate with
• 8:40
  each other in a world with this much fakery, this much
• 8:43
  deception? How can we even trust what we
• 8:46
  see, or worse, what we think? Inflation, it might be the
• 8:50
  greatest lie ever told. If you believe that inflation is
• 8:53
  good for you, like why do you believe that?
• 8:55
  And people will say, well, like you did, free market can't work
• 8:58
  right because debt is needed. Well, that's not true.
• 9:01
  And you keep on going, why? Why?
• 9:03
  Why? Because what you're really
• 9:05
  saying if you believe that is I believe for humans to trade with
• 9:09
  each other that there has to be theft and money, that my money
• 9:11
  has to get worth be worth less overtime and somebody has to be
• 9:15
  able to make decisions to make my money worth less overtime for
• 9:18
  me to create with other people on this.
• 9:20
  Planet Someone else gets to decide that your life's work
• 9:23
  should be worth less over time. Someone is making that call and
• 9:28
  they've told you this is just how it works.
• 9:31
  That inflation is natural, that growth requires it, that the
• 9:35
  teacher has to print new paper. Sometimes that's just how it
• 9:38
  goes. What they're not saying is that
• 9:41
  the classroom never ends, the marketplace never closes, yet
• 9:45
  the paper is still expiring behind the Hollywood set every
• 9:49
  year. 3% here, 8% there. Meanwhile, the storefront stays
• 9:54
  beautiful, the tour guide keeps smiling, the lighting is perfect
• 9:58
  in the front, and the woman keeps spinning her plates.
• 10:04
  The lips get more Botox and Will Smith looks great.
• 10:08
  The production of reality is a known, documented, professional
• 10:11
  skill. People are paid to do this.
• 10:13
  We're doing it right now. And here's the thing about this
• 10:16
  the construction of reality has become harder and harder to
• 10:19
  distinguish from the set itself. By design, this is a discreet
• 10:24
  madness, a systematic madness, A society where everyone is being
• 10:28
  indoctrinated at the same time by the same exact algorithms,
• 10:32
  the same feed, the same frame, same curated reality.
• 10:37
  We pass fake information to each other because we can't verify
• 10:40
  it. We don't know how to verify it
• 10:41
  anymore. And that is the root problem of
• 10:44
  the money that we have, because the money is the energy that we
• 10:47
  all transact in. And at the root it's the value,
• 10:51
  and the value is fake. I.
• 10:53
  Mean, I think like most teaching today is, is a lot like
• 10:55
  vaudeville where and it's and as a result, it's just not not that
• 11:01
  compelling. It's like somebody's standing up
• 11:02
  there and lecturing to you and they've done the same lecture
• 11:05
  several years in a row. They're not necessarily all that
• 11:07
  engaged or or in doing it. Do you agree with Peter Thiel?
• 11:10
  About the unnecessariness of university higher education A.
• 11:15
  University education is often unnecessary. 2 + 2 = 4 if you're
• 11:20
  lucky. Vaudeville education.
• 11:24
  You move through the grades in lockstep, not because the system
• 11:27
  is optimized for learning, but because it's optimized for
• 11:30
  compliance with a system that requires you not to question it.
• 11:34
  The education machine doesn't produce curious people.
• 11:36
  It shouldn't anyway. If it doesn't want people
• 11:39
  looking in the back of the building.
• 11:41
  It produces people who accept that the teacher prints the
• 11:44
  money and the students use it to buy their candy.
• 11:47
  And then you graduate and enter a system where your money is
• 11:51
  printed. You've been trained 1216 years
• 11:55
  not to ask why you were given the paper.
• 11:59
  You were told that the paper has value.
• 12:01
  You were told that the day never ends, but it's ending fast.
• 12:07
  And here's the hardest part. This research that I'm putting
• 12:10
  in front of you right now is simply for my own feed, my own
• 12:13
  lens. It's fabricated.
• 12:15
  It's fed to me because it's interesting.
• 12:18
  I guess the host is inside the K FAPE.
• 12:23
  Always has been. We're all standing 2 feet away
• 12:26
  from the woman with the cigarette, and she still doesn't
• 12:28
  see us. Now I want to pause here for a
• 12:31
  second because we've been talking about a world where
• 12:33
  verification is structurally impossible, Where you can't
• 12:36
  check the walls, you can't verify the faces, you can't
• 12:39
  trust the feed. But here's one thing that you
• 12:42
  actually can verify your Bitcoin.
• 12:45
  Not trust us. It's there.
• 12:48
  Verify it yourself and the bitcoinway.com sets you up with
• 12:53
  hardware custody, your own node, and full transaction
• 12:56
  verification. No one is in the middle of that.
• 12:59
  And your phone right now is tracking you every tap, every
• 13:03
  search, default setting. They'll fix that too.
• 13:06
  By the way, privacy phone, privacy browsing, full stack
• 13:10
  your Bitcoin IT team right there at the bitcoinway.com.
• 13:14
  And if you go to thebitcoinway.com/me on Bitcoin
• 13:17
  right now, you can book a free 30 minute consultation.
• 13:21
  That's right, a free 30 minute consultation with a trusted
• 13:25
  Bitcoin advisor at the bitcoinway.com/beyondbitcoin.
• 13:29
  Mom come on, my game said I won a prize but I need to put in
• 13:33
  your credit card to claim it just for ID not payment or
• 13:35
  anything. Everyone else has done it except
• 13:37
  for. Me.
• 13:39
  They're playing for fun, but I'm playing you.
• 13:43
  The deepfakes arrived right on schedule.
• 13:45
  Over $200 million in deepfake driven fraud in the first
• 13:49
  quarter of 2025 alone. 37% of people say AI deepfakes are
• 13:54
  their top concern when it comes to technology.
• 13:57
  Now, that statistic was probably generated by an AI, and I
• 14:01
  understand that, but let's just assume that some percentage of
• 14:04
  some population is concerned that maybe the person on the
• 14:07
  other end of the Zoom call is not who they say they are.
• 14:11
  This is not a new problem by the way.
• 14:13
  This is the logical end point of a system that needs to eat
• 14:17
  itself to stay alive. When you can't verify the money,
• 14:20
  you can't verify anything. Everyone is being indoctrinated
• 14:24
  at the same time by the same exact algorithms.
• 14:27
  We pass fake information to each other because we can't verify
• 14:29
  it. Money is our root information
• 14:31
  layer, and that is a root problem of the money that we
• 14:34
  have because the money is the energy that we all transact in.
• 14:39
  When you can't verify the value of that energy, you can't verify
• 14:43
  anything downstream of it. If you're like me and you're
• 14:47
  sitting with the uncomfortable feeling that the grid could go
• 14:48
  down and your phone would be absolutely worthless, that's not
• 14:52
  paranoia, that's pattern recognition.
• 14:54
  But SAT 123.com is a built for exactly this.
• 14:58
  Satellite phones that work when cell towers don't.
• 15:00
  Starling kits, Faraday bags that block tracking and surveillance.
• 15:04
  Off grid portable power stations, self custody isn't
• 15:07
  ended. Your wallet guys.
• 15:08
  It ends when you've got communication and power that no
• 15:10
  one else can cut. And if you go to sat123.com and
• 15:14
  use promo code simply at checkout, you'll get 15% off
• 15:16
  your entire purchase. That's SAT 123.com promo code.
• 15:20
  Simply let me bring you back to Thailand.
• 15:24
  The silk in the storefront is real.
• 15:26
  The woman's labor is real. The silkworms work is real.
• 15:31
  Those are the only honest parts of the entire operation.
• 15:35
  The beautiful storefront, the tour guide, the perfect
• 15:38
  lighting, the price tag, all performance.
• 15:41
  That's all. The magician showing you a
• 15:43
  trick. The silk itself was produced by
• 15:46
  an actual work that no one could fake, and there is a mechanism
• 15:50
  in this world that operates on that same principle.
• 15:53
  What do you think it is? Bitcoins proof of work is not
• 15:56
  faked. You cannot synthesize energy
• 15:59
  expenditure. You can't Photoshop a hash.
• 16:02
  The computational work is very real.
• 16:05
  Every block, every transaction, every satoshi.
• 16:09
  You can verify it yourself right now without trusting a single
• 16:11
  institution. No tour guide, no storefront, no
• 16:14
  YouTube personality, Just the work on a public Ledger that
• 16:18
  anyone could read. That's the beauty of Bitcoin.
• 16:21
  Bitcoin might be the only thing we can honestly rely on in these
• 16:24
  ages, and I say might just because I'm sort of like the
• 16:28
  quirky friend who did just enough research to sound
• 16:31
  dangerous. And I've already told you that
• 16:33
  this research was fabricated and fed to me.
• 16:36
  But here's what I can tell you. Proof of work is not faked.
• 16:40
  The silk is real. The hash is real.
• 16:42
  The woman with the cigarette was real, I hope.
• 16:46
  But everything built on top of the work was the performance.
• 16:49
  Everything built on actual work was not.
• 16:52
  Bitcoin is good. That's a declarative statement
• 16:55
  from someone who understands very little.
• 16:58
  But remember, it's the one thing you can verify yourself.
• 17:01
  If you've watched this this far, you already know what you want,
• 17:04
  and you want to find people who've opted out of the
• 17:07
  performance. The KFABE 19,000 of them are on
• 17:11
  cluborange.org, formerly known as the Orange Pill app.
• 17:14
  This is a Bitcoin only premier app location based with real
• 17:18
  Bitcoiners that you can find in your city.
• 17:21
  A Lightning wallet is built into the app Event directory
• 17:25
  merchants, $40 a year, keeps out the bots and the noise and
• 17:30
  what's left is signal. And you can even find me on
• 17:33
  there. I'm at Oceans OSHINS.
• 17:36
  You can come visit me at cluborange.org anytime.
• 17:39
  I will respond and say, hey, what's up guys?
• 17:43
  The woman in the silk factory was doing the only honest work
• 17:45
  in the building. Honestly, she didn't need a tour
• 17:48
  guide to explain her contribution.
• 17:51
  The silkworms didn't need a press conference.
• 17:53
  The thread was real because the energy to make it was real.
• 17:58
  Bitcoin is proof of work all the way down.
• 18:01
  The question isn't whether the performance can continue.
• 18:04
  It can. It's been going on for 50 plus
• 18:08
  years. But the question, the real
• 18:10
  question is when does the classroom day end and are you
• 18:14
  holding the paper or the silk? Good question, right?
