Transcript
- 0:03It's. All going to zero against
- 0:06Bitcoin. It's going on forever.
- 0:16You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
- 0:24Yeah. Welcome to another episode of
- 0:25Simply Bitcoin Live. We're number one source for the
- 0:27peaceful Bitcoin revolutionary code breaking news culture,
- 0:30Matic Warfare. We will be your guide through
- 0:32the separation of money in state.
- 0:33Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most watched daily Bitcoin
- 0:37only live show on YouTube Rumble.
- 0:40And next today we have a very, very special show.
- 0:43Michael Saylor continues his a speculative attack on the
- 0:46dollar. He's continuing to leverage his
- 0:50company to borrow money at a very, very, very low rate to buy
- 0:55all the Bitcoin. To buy more Bitcoin.
- 0:58In other news, Wall Street continues to gobble all the SATS
- 1:03up. BlackRock announced that it
- 1:07files to purchase more Bitcoin ETFs for their SIO fund.
- 1:13So we're going to get into the details of that, of course, and
- 1:16also something that may play close to the heart to a lot of
- 1:20people in the Gen. Z generation, in the millennial
- 1:23generation that perhaps have been outpriced out of buying
- 1:27their first home Of. We have this epic click epic
- 1:30clip of Preston Pish on the Swan Signal podcast sets addressing
- 1:35just that. But like we've always said on
- 1:38simply Bitcoin, if you've been saving in Bitcoin, regardless of
- 1:42real estate doubling in the last two years alone, guess what?
- 1:46Actually, things have gotten progressively cheaper.
- 1:50Isn't it beautiful living on a Bitcoin standard?
- 1:54I mean this thing by Michael Saylor, I asked him, guys, I
- 1:57asked him in in Medea, Portugal, at Bitcoin Atlantis, you know,
- 2:02had the privilege to be able to have a conversation with him and
- 2:04Eric Caisson. And we were talking for like
- 2:0710-15 minutes. And I straight up asked him,
- 2:09like, what's taking so long? Why?
- 2:10You know, if it's clear that Micro Strategy's Bitcoin
- 2:14strategy is succeeding, it's working.
- 2:17It's outpacing the S&P 500, it's outpacing gold, it's outpacing
- 2:23the the tech stocks, maybe NVIDIA, but it's an outlier.
- 2:27The point is, is that it's outpacing basically everything.
- 2:30Why haven't more high profile people put their names behind
- 2:34it? Why haven't more public
- 2:36companies, you know, jumped into the fold Right now?
- 2:39It's really Micro strategy and Tesla, as much as people hate
- 2:43Elon, Tesla has a pretty big Bitcoin position.
- 2:47Those seem to be the only two public companies.
- 2:49I really believe that this cycle we're going to see that change
- 2:53as not only Michael Saylor gets completely vindicated,
- 2:57especially once we we approach the cycle highs, but also on the
- 3:01nation state level. El Salvador, right?
- 3:04El Salvador's in the green, Naimbu Kelly said his average
- 3:07price per Bitcoin was about $40,000.
- 3:10So all the all those attacks by The Associated Press, by the
- 3:14Wall Street Journal, by the New York Times, by all the legacy
- 3:17corporate media and their allies and also members of the US
- 3:21government, they got it flat out wrong.
- 3:24Where where are they now? They're staying pretty quiet.
- 3:26They're not really saying anything.
- 3:28So anyways, it's going to be a great show.
- 3:30I want to bring up my legendary Co host who's always optimistic.
- 3:34I think I caught him in a smile today.
- 3:36Of course, we got Optimus Fields in the house.
- 3:39How you doing Opti? Man, another day of paradise.
- 3:43Life is good. Everything's great.
- 3:45Yeah, and Bitcoin keep 20. We got cheap Sats today, you
- 3:48know. Who knows where the price is
- 3:49going. We we wicked yesterday.
- 3:51And hey man it's good. Life's just life's just better
- 3:55being a bit cloner. I I I can't really say more than
- 3:57that. But anyways, Nico, you were
- 3:59talking about El Salvador. I was.
- 4:01I was. Hey guys.
- 4:03We got a very special guest for you guys today.
- 4:06Speaking of El Salvador, we have Miss El Salvador, We have
- 4:11Alejandra Guajardo in the house. How you doing?
- 4:14For anyone who doesn't, how you doing, Alejandro?
- 4:18I'm good. Thank you.
- 4:19Thank you so much for coming on the show.
- 4:20And for anyone who doesn't know, this made the rounds on Bitcoin
- 4:24Twitter. Alejandra wore the Bitcoin
- 4:27contest at the Miss Universe pageant that absolutely went,
- 4:30you know, everyone went crazy. Alejandra, you've seen a
- 4:34complete, you know, change in your country.
- 4:37I think that really El Salvador is this shining country on a
- 4:42hill. It's an example to the rest of
- 4:45Central and South America. Being a Venezuelan, myself,
- 4:49originally from Venezuela, I'm really a Miamian, Better said.
- 4:52You know, you look at El Salvador and you see that, you
- 4:54know, as as an example for the rest of the region, right.
- 4:58And you know how I know it? What Naim Bukele is, is, is is
- 5:02doing, is working. Not only is he the most popular
- 5:05president in the Americas, but also the attacks coming from the
- 5:10legacy media. They hate this guy for making
- 5:13the country safer. You know why?
- 5:15Why is that? What's going on there?
- 5:17So it's an honor to have you on simply Bitcoin and I don't know
- 5:20if you had some thoughts about what I just said.
- 5:23Well, thank you so much for inviting me.
- 5:26I'm very excited to be here. And yes, like you said, a lot of
- 5:30people hate him because of what he did with all the bad people,
- 5:36you know, with the Madas. But I think in this world you
- 5:41need to have a hard hand. That's how you say it, Mano
- 5:46dura. You know, so, So things can
- 5:50change. So before bouquet, El Salvador
- 5:54was one of the most dangerous countries in the world.
- 5:58And now, because of what he has done, it's the safest country in
- 6:04America, like a lot of Canadians.
- 6:06Can you imagine? Canada is one of the best places
- 6:09to live, safest places to live. They're coming to live in El
- 6:11Salvador as well as Americans, Europeans, Australians.
- 6:18Like in Australia, it's another, it's another country where it's
- 6:22like very good to live, you know, So El Salvador for sure,
- 6:27it's, it's a very good place to be right now and especially
- 6:31because of Bitcoin of course. 100% yeah, no, it it's he you
- 6:36know he's completely transformed the nation, the country.
- 6:39It's a it's a lot safer to live. Also I'm seeing Opti.
- 6:43I think this might be a record for our Twitter audience where
- 6:46243 live viewers on Twitter. Usually the bulk of our viewers
- 6:52are coming from from YouTube. So seems like Twitter is having

- 8:54to the numbers. Let's do it.
- 8:57The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
- 9:01really secure? Is your seed phrase really
- 9:04secure? Stamp seeds?
- 9:06Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
- 9:08hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
- 9:13instead of just writing them on paper.
- 9:15Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
- 9:19Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
- 9:21You want to put your generational wealth on one of
- 9:24the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
- 9:27Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
- 9:30hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
- 9:33aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
- 9:36apart and pieces falling everywhere.
- 9:39Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
- 9:42produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
- 9:45waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
- 9:47All things. That paper is not allowing you
- 9:49to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
- 9:53Stamp your seed on stamp. Oh guys, I'm going to, I'm going
- 9:58to change it up a little bit because the chat is very, very
- 10:00lively today. So I'm going to read some of
- 10:01these comments, but guys don't do it.
- 10:04Don't do it. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 10:05I want, I want to ask one of the questions.
- 10:07It's a good question by by local TX.
- 10:10I'm going to read it in a second.
- 10:11But before we get to that guys, simply Bitcoin is supported by
- 10:15you know we're we're on air because of our sponsors.
- 10:17So it really, really helps. It really, really helps.
- 10:20Support us guys, and also not only by supporting us.
- 10:23Support yourself properly. Secure your Bitcoin and your
- 10:28generational wealth. Store your Bitcoin seed words on
- 10:32titanium. Don't store them on paper.
- 10:35Paper is prone to water damage, fire damage.
- 10:38You want to put in one of the strongest medals on planet
- 10:39Earth. Also got a comment yesterday
- 10:42guys. You don't send your seed words
- 10:44to stamp seed. OK, you buy a stamp seed.
- 10:47They send you the storage kit to your home where you do it in the
- 10:51privacy of your own home. Don't send your seeds to
- 10:54anywhere. This is just a tool for you to
- 10:56put your seed words on titanium. That's what it's about.
- 10:59OK? Because I saw some comments that
- 11:02people didn't understand. You can do that by checking the
- 11:05link in the video description or scanning the QR code on your
- 11:08screen. And you can use promo code
- 11:10simply to get 15% off. OK, before we get into the
- 11:13numbers, I do want to spice it up, change it up a little bit.
- 11:17We did get a comment from Loco TXI want to ask Alejandra right
- 11:21off the bat. Loco TX, says Alejandra.
- 11:23When was the first time you heard of Bitcoin, and what was
- 11:26the first thing that made you a believer in Bitcoin?
- 11:32Alejandra, I think you're muted. Oh.
- 11:39It seems like we might be having some audio roblems.
- 11:43Try again. OK, yeah.
- 11:46Wow, that's weird. All right, Alejandro, Pop, pop
- 11:51off and pop back in on the link and and we'll get it going.
- 11:53Yeah, it seems like we're having some audio problems, some
- 11:55technical difficulties right now, yeah?
- 11:57Just just pop off and and hit the link again and and come back
- 12:00in. Yeah, yeah.
- 12:01So while we figure that outlet's back to the numbers at the time
- 12:05of recording this is a live show, We roll with the punches,
- 12:07baby. At the time of recording, the
- 12:09Bitcoin price is 66,980 SAT's per dollar, 1490 fee.
- 12:16Let's see. Alejandro, could you hear us?
- 12:19Yeah, I can hear you. Can you?
- 12:20Awesome. All right.
- 12:21OK, let's finish the numbers and then we'll continue, we'll
- 12:23continue that question. So block height 833,431 blocks
- 12:28to having 16,569 having estimate April 20th, 2024 total Lightning
- 12:34network capacity 4394, Bitcoin capacity value 294,000,000 U.S.
- 12:40dollars. Realized monetary inflation
- 12:421.74%. The market capitalization of
- 12:45Bitcoin $1.32 trillion Bitcoin versus gold market cap almost at
- 12:5110%. We're sitting pretty at 9.55%.
- 12:56I saw someone trolling us about that Peter Schiff episode.
- 12:59I mean, I think he's trying to engagement farm because, you
- 13:02know, Bitcoin is sure catching up.
- 13:04All right. Before we get to the video, I do
- 13:07want to ask Alejandra that question from Loco TX.
- 13:11Alejandra, when was the first time you heard of Bitcoin and
- 13:14what was the 1st? And what was the thing that made
- 13:17you a believer in Bitcoin? By the way, for anyone tuning
- 13:19in, Alejandra Guajardo is miss Big Miss El Salvador from Miss
- 13:25Universe, so we're really, really happy for us for her to
- 13:28join us today. So Alejandra, what's the answer
- 13:31to that question? What do you think?
- 13:33When I was at university, like 2017, 2016, all of my friends,
- 13:42they were like buying Bitcoin and of course on other coins
- 13:46because you know, like if you're a beginner, you, you start with
- 13:50all of that. So that was the first time that
- 13:52I heard about that and I bought a little bit, just a little bit.
- 13:57And I bought some others, you know.
- 13:58And then when El Salvador made legal tender Bitcoin, I was
- 14:04like, what? What is going on?
- 14:07And then I decided to wear my Bitcoin dress at Miss Universe.
- 14:12And but well, when when I was like a huge, huge believer, it
- 14:17was when Salvador made it like legal tender.
- 14:20But before that I just had like a little bit of Bitcoin and
- 14:23that's it. Gotcha, Gotcha.
- 14:26Gotcha. Interesting.
- 14:27Interesting. OK, OK, so it was basically Miss
- 14:31Universe, the Miss Universe Miss.
- 14:33It was just university, that it was your first exposure.
- 14:38We got Sophie in the chat. Sophie, shame on you.
- 14:41It would have been nice to. I think that it would have been
- 14:43like a like a record for simply Bitcoin in terms of ratios.
- 14:47We would have had two the most. Women on simply.
- 14:50Bitcoin ever on simply. Bitcoin, it'd be great.
- 14:53Anyways, I do want to give a shout out to our Twitter
- 14:55audience. This is a record for our Twitter
- 14:57audience. We're at 416 live viewers on
- 15:00Twitter. I don't know what's going on and
- 15:03of course some the the live chat is absolutely going crazy.
- 15:06All right, ladies and gentlemen, so today I do want to play this
- 15:11clip from Preston Pitch. This is a clip from, you know,
- 15:15our friends over at Swan and this is a clip from Swan Signal
- 15:19Live. It's with Brady Swenson and Sam
- 15:23Callahan. And you know, Preston Pitch hits
- 15:26the nail on the head. He's talking about housing.
- 15:29He's talking about something that, again, if you are a
- 15:32millennial, A Gen. Z, you know, and then you
- 15:37haven't been in Bitcoin, you're trying to make your first home
- 15:39purchase. You know, you might be feeling
- 15:41the pain. You might, you might be feeling
- 15:43the. But I would say, you know, the
- 15:44majority of people are struggling.
- 15:46And I think Preston Pitch really, really addresses this in
- 15:50this video. So let's check it out.
- 15:52Here we go, two people. COVID.
- 15:54OK. The January 1st, 2020 back then
- 15:57in in in the town that I live, a middle class home was around,
- 16:01you know, maybe upper middle class.
- 16:02It was around $500,000 to own a house if you were going to buy
- 16:04it. Today that same exact house goes
- 16:06for $1,000,000. OK, it's only been four years.
- 16:09Four years in that house has has appreciated.
- 16:12I'm using air quotes here because once you hear the math,
- 16:13this is going to blow your mind. It's appreciated to $1,000,000.
- 16:16Well, if you're a millennial or you're somebody that's trying to
- 16:18buy a house now today and not four years ago, listen to this
- 16:21math. That $500,000 house compared to
- 16:24the $1,000,000 house today because interest rates have
- 16:26changed because inflation is now manifesting itself.
- 16:28Back then. That $500,000 house you could
- 16:30buy with a 3% interest rate loan, but today that same house,
- 16:33that $1,000,000 house is 7%. So guess how much more expensive
- 16:36your monthly payment is on that house from just four years ago.
- 16:40It's not twice as much. It's 3.2 times higher than what
- 16:44it was just four years ago. So if your if your monthly
- 16:46payment on this house was you know, let me see what the
- 16:49numbers are here. Well, I I did a net present
- 16:52value instead. So the the net present value
- 16:53when the house was 500,000 and 3% was $758,000.
- 16:57Today, the net present value of that house is $2.4 million.
- 17:01OK, Because it's a million at 7%.
- 17:03OK, now here's the thing that's really going to blow your mind.
- 17:06You ready? That house back in 2020 and
- 17:08January of 20/20 was 70.2 Bitcoin.
- 17:11OK, you know what it is with $1,000,000 in Fiat terms with
- 17:14that house is in Bitcoin. Today it's 22 Bitcoin.
- 17:17OK, so that's a 68% reduction in the price of this house for a
- 17:23person that uses Bitcoin as their unit of account.
- 17:25The house price went down by 68% in the bitcoiners world.
- 17:28But in the Fiat person's world, the price went up by by 100%.
- 17:30It's twice as much, right? This is why people can't
- 17:33understand this, because a person who's looking at this,
- 17:35that just looks at Bitcoin as being some made-up Mario coin
- 17:37Internet money is is looking at this and saying off.
- 17:40I would have just been able to buy a house back in 2020.
- 17:42I'd be, I'd have 500,000 bucks if I levered it.
- 17:44You know if I levered up I would have $500,000 in my bank account
- 17:48right. That that's what the that's what
- 17:49the that's what the no coiners telling themselves they're being
- 17:51rope a doped into this old legacy system by the numbers and
- 17:54what they think is increase in buying power.
- 17:56But for the bitcoiner they're looking at this and they're
- 17:58saying I do not want to move from the house that I'm in right
- 18:01now. I don't want to buy the the
- 18:02bigger house I don't want to buy because the value of this thing
- 18:05is going to get cheaper by 68% every four years.
- 18:10It's mind blowing and I think the numbers are so the the
- 18:12numbers are so lost on people because people don't look at
- 18:14Bitcoin performance in four year periods of time.
- 18:16If there's one thing I would I would highly encourage for you
- 18:18to talk to family and friends about is period holding periods
- 18:20under four years get more and more speculative as you get
- 18:23further to the left than that timeline.
- 18:24So like if you're talking a month's performance of Bitcoin,
- 18:26it's insanely speculative once you get to that four year
- 18:28threshold. I don't think it's speculative
- 18:30at all. And the proof in the pudding of
- 18:31that, did you ever see the circular chart with the price,
- 18:33how it never penetrates a previous rational period, four
- 18:35years? Yeah, Rational Root has an
- 18:37amazing chart on this. That is the thing that you got
- 18:38to focus on. It's a four year holding period
- 18:40because it's truly investment at the four year holding period at
- 18:42least based off the historical performance And if people can
- 18:44can somehow shift their line of thinking to this as their unit
- 18:47of account and holding period, let me tell you, like your life
- 18:49just starts changing in dramatic ways 100.
- 18:51Percent like your life starts changing in dramatic ways.
- 18:57I cannot emphasize that enough. If the world switched to a
- 19:02Bitcoin standard, I think the world would be a more peaceful
- 19:05place. I think the world would be a
- 19:07more optimistic place. I think the world would start
- 19:10thinking long term. I think people would start
- 19:13seeing opportunity. I think that the political, the
- 19:16politically charged environment that I think is caused by the
- 19:20economic woes that are, you know, primarily caused by Fiat
- 19:25money. I think 50.
- 19:27I think Michael Saylor said it best. 50% of the world's
- 19:29problems would disappear, right? If Fiat is half of every
- 19:34transaction and that fundamental base layer is corrupted and
- 19:38broken, I think that affects every facet of society.
- 19:43It is. I don't think it's a coincidence
- 19:45that the first country that made Bitcoin legal tender has the
- 19:50most popular president in the Americas.
- 19:52I think that once you fix the incentive structure of society,
- 19:56a lot of things go along with it.
- 19:58But we are simply Bitcoin. And to show you guys the data,
- 20:02this is a website that we go to a lot.
- 20:05We go to this website a lot, right?
- 20:08And and it and it's pretty self-explanatory.
- 20:11If you've been saving in Bitcoin, despite real estate
- 20:15prices doubling in the last, you know, one or two or three or
- 20:20four or five years because of the absorbent amount of money
- 20:24printing, your life has gotten cheaper.
- 20:29In fact, a house in the US, if you've been saving in Bitcoin,
- 20:32has gotten 86% cheaper. If you've been saving in Bitcoin
- 20:37in the United Kingdom, it's gotten 92% cheaper.
- 20:41And mind you, we just touched all time highs.
- 20:44We we're not even at the, you know, we're not even at the
- 20:46cycle peak yet, just to kind of give you guys an idea of how
- 20:52your life will radically change if you adopt A Bitcoin standard.
- 20:57So I kind of want to circle back to the El Salvador topic and
- 21:01pass it on back to Alejandra, right?
- 21:03This idea of what has happened since El Salvador, you know,
- 21:09adopted a Bitcoin standard. Do you see people on the ground
- 21:12using it? Do you see more optimism in
- 21:15people's eyes, in people's outlook?
- 21:18What's your take? Well, for sure.
- 21:21What I see is more tourism, more people are looking at El
- 21:26Salvador to invest, more people want to live there from all over
- 21:30the world. Like I said, they want to do
- 21:32their business there. They want to raise their
- 21:35families there because of Bitcoin and also because of all
- 21:39of the security stuff. So for for me, yeah, I see that
- 21:46El Salvador is growing a lot. A lot of people are saying that
- 21:50El Salvador is going to be the next Singapore of Latin America.
- 21:54So Bitcoin has been a big opportunity for El Salvador, for
- 21:59people to invest and have a good life.
- 22:03You know, I back then, before Buchelli, I never lived in El
- 22:09Salvador, to be honest. I always lived in the United
- 22:12States, in Texas and in Mexico because I'm half Mexican.
- 22:16But now because of this, I decided to move to El Salvador.
- 22:19So not I I can't say my example, but I can say a lot of older
- 22:24examples that they are just, they just, they are they they
- 22:29want to highlight the Salvadoran nationality.
- 22:31You know, like back then all Latinos wanted the United States
- 22:36nationality, American nationality.
- 22:38Now people want the Salvadoran, so it's it's going great for the
- 22:43Salvador and it's and it's making a good impact on it, on
- 22:48the country 100. Percent and I and I completely
- 22:51agree with that statement and for maybe for a lot of people
- 22:54that don't know simply Bitcoin is a Latino owned business
- 22:57right. AFTI and I, you know we have
- 22:59Hispanic backgrounds you know wine as well and a little bit
- 23:03Rustin, maybe not it not not up front but Rustin at heart for
- 23:07sure and you know the rest of the of the simply Bitcoin crew.
- 23:11So yeah, like the, you know the the the traditional dream would
- 23:16be, you know as a South American for it would be to you know
- 23:20immigrate to you know immigrate to Miami right.
- 23:24That's like the that's like the you wanna be in Miami.
- 23:29But what you're seeing now and it optes heard this as well, is
- 23:34you're seeing people wanna go back.
- 23:35You're hearing people wanna go back.
- 23:37Like what is that like? You never hear that in your life
- 23:41and people feel optimistic about, you know about what is
- 23:44happening there, which I think is, which is the reason that I
- 23:48think I believe it's so absolutely historic.
- 23:50Now, Opti, to kind of circle back to Preston's comments in
- 23:55regards to the housing crisis, because that's that's really
- 23:58what he was talking about. The how.
- 24:00Let me rephrase that. Actually, the housing crisis
- 24:03under Fiat and how essentially, if you've been living on a
- 24:08Bitcoin standard, there is no housing crisis.
- 24:11Exactly. On a big damn.
- 24:14That's a good tweet. I'm about to tweet that out.
- 24:16On a Bitcoin standard, there is no housing crisis whatsoever.
- 24:20Housing is actually getting progressively cheaper, right.
- 24:23So what's your take on that? Especially, you know, as a
- 24:26millennial, as a genzier. Yeah, I mean when you watch that
- 24:29video and you go through the numbers, it it really is a a
- 24:35very good visual or mental picture of like what's actually
- 24:38going on. You know what, what was the clip
- 24:40we played yesterday of the guy saying like, oh, Bitcoin has no
- 24:43value And we're all sitting here like I don't know about you, but
- 24:46most of us millennials and Jen's ears, like we don't have any
- 24:49money. I remember before even Bitcoin,
- 24:52it was just kind of like, all right, I'm probably never even
- 24:55gonna own a house now. It's fine.
- 24:57I'll be a renter. What's the weave meme?
- 24:59You will own nothing and be happy.
- 25:01It's at a certain point you're kind of just like, all right, I
- 25:04guess. I guess I'm gonna be stuck in
- 25:06the rat race forever. And then once you hold Bitcoin,
- 25:09and as Preston was saying, your life drastically changes and and
- 25:13once you start saving in Bitcoin, you realize, oh, wow,
- 25:15like, I can't afford a normal life here.
- 25:18Like, I can afford the American dream here.
- 25:20Like, there is hope at the end of the tunnel.
- 25:22And when you really just continue to show the receipts
- 25:26that, hey, your life does get cheaper on the Bitcoin standard,
- 25:29you actually start to think differently.
- 25:30And you're like, wow, maybe, OK, maybe in the future I can
- 25:33actually own something. My mom always jokes to me and
- 25:37when whenever I'm like having financial trouble, she's always
- 25:39just like, it's all right, you're millennial.
- 25:41There's millions of you like that that are broke and have no
- 25:44hope. And I'm like mom like, damn, all
- 25:46right, that's savage. But like, that's where we are
- 25:49right now. The the millennials and the gens
- 25:51ears. We're probably the brokest
- 25:52generations to date. And for most people they have no
- 25:56hope. And that's why we always say
- 25:58that Bitcoin is hope, that Bitcoin does give you an
- 26:00opportunity to live the life that we were all promised.
- 26:03And like Nico and I always say we've, we can, with ourselves
- 26:09use an example, be like our lives have gotten better.
- 26:11Our lives constantly get cheaper on Bitcoin.
- 26:13And this next year or two, you know, our lives will get even
- 26:18more cheaper. And really the thing that
- 26:21Preston hit on the most is like, guys, this isn't an overnight
- 26:24thing. Like you're going to have to
- 26:25save in Bitcoin. And if you hold in Bitcoin
- 26:27historically for four years, you're usually in the green.
- 26:30So like, just pay yourself first.
- 26:33Like make sure you're saving something for your future
- 26:36because your life gets cheaper on a Bitcoin standard and you
- 26:38don't want to sell your Bitcoin for, I don't know, some
- 26:41something stupid. Like you want to have a good
- 26:44life at the very end of the tunnel, at the very end of your
- 26:46life, you want to own something. And hey, it just makes me more
- 26:49hopeful that on the Bitcoin standard, our lives will get
- 26:51cheaper and one day, you know, one day I'll have a nice house.
- 26:54Until then, your boys just renting and stacking Bitcoin.
- 26:58100 percent, 100%, Yeah, man, on a Bitcoin standard, everything
- 27:02is absolutely more, more optimistic.
- 27:06All right, ladies and gentlemen, before before we move on to the
- 27:09next segment, I do want to give a shout out to our newest drop.
- 27:16We teamed up with a Bitcoin artist.
- 27:19His name is Asha Noah. Right now there's a limited drop
- 27:24of T-shirts, hats, and of course we got women's merch as well.
- 27:30We should have sent one to miss El Salvador.

- 30:18every single day. Also, shout out to the Twitter
- 30:21audience is a record for us. 584 of you are watching us on
- 30:26Twitter, so shout out to all you guys.
- 30:28We got about 300 business El. Salvador Let's let's because of
- 30:31Miss. El Salvador.
- 30:32Love it. You got a huge audience, Miss El
- 30:36Salvador. All right.
- 30:38OK, so I do. Go ahead.
- 30:43Go ahead. Alejandra.
- 30:44Sorry to cut you off. And I love all my audience
- 30:48kisses. Oh my God, We got an influencer
- 30:52on today's show. Make sure to follow simply.
- 30:55Guys, we won't have we won't have this El Salvador every day.
- 30:58Maybe some days we'll have Sophie as well.
- 31:00We got to have more women on the show.
- 31:02Opti, what are what's going on? Man, I blame Jacob.
- 31:04I blame Jacob. Anyways.
- 31:06Anyways, all right, guys, so I do want to give a quick ETF
- 31:11update. Let's go to the Black Rock.
- 31:15So Black Rock. Black Rock is almost at the
- 31:18amount of Bitcoin that Michael Saylor has that MicroStrategy
- 31:22has. They have 183,000 Bitcoin.
- 31:26Fidelity as at 112,000 Bitcoin and here is Vijay Boyapati.
- 31:33We talked about this a little bit yesterday.
- 31:36There is a supply shock that is impending.
- 31:39It's coming, It's coming very, very, very quickly.
- 31:42Here is VJ, he says. Blackrock's ETF just swallowed
- 31:4513,000 Bitcoin in one day and it's daily demand is growing.
- 31:50Thankfully mining can keep up with this demand.
- 31:53Producing checks, notes 900 Bitcoin a day down to 450 a day
- 31:58in a few weeks. Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
- 32:00there's a giant supply shock incoming.
- 32:03Even with the current demand, not enough Bitcoin is being
- 32:07mined to service that demand and that that is going to get cut in
- 32:11half in, you know, in just a couple of, you know, literally
- 32:15like a month or so, like about a month and 10 days.
- 32:18So it's going to be absolutely crazy.
- 32:21Now I do want to talk about this also.
- 32:24This is something that I tweeted in January.
- 32:27I said Wall Street thinks it will change Bitcoin, but it will
- 32:30be Bitcoin that will change Wall Street and what am I talking
- 32:34about? So here is a announcement coming
- 32:37out of BlackRock. It says BlackRock files to
- 32:39purchase more Bitcoin ETFs for their SIO fund.
- 32:43What is their SIO fund? Their SIO fund is the BlackRock
- 32:48Strategic Income Opportunities Fund is a flexible bond strategy
- 32:53that seeks to offer investors attractive income returns and
- 32:58meaningful portfolio diversification.
- 33:02I think this is right here. The key sentence right and the
- 33:07reason for that is why it was such a big deal not too long ago
- 33:12when the quote UN quote Conservative all asset portfolio
- 33:18coming out of Canada and it was it was Fidelity Canada and they
- 33:22announced that they are going to allocate a 1% allocation to
- 33:26Bitcoin in that quote UN quote conservative portfolio.
- 33:30This is a big deal for the same reason right.
- 33:33Once again Bitcoin is being included in again a Strategic
- 33:38Income Opportunities Fund, so a non Bitcoin related fund,
- 33:42Bitcoin is being included into that.
- 33:45So this again is the legitimate, the legitimization.
- 33:49This again is Bitcoin getting more and more included in the
- 33:54traditional financial system and it being taken more and more
- 33:58seriously as a traditional, as it as an asset to be franked.
- 34:03And again, what does that do? It, it kind of changes the
- 34:06narrative. So kind of going back to my
- 34:08original tweet about, it says how I said Wall Street thinks it
- 34:11will change Bitcoin, but it will be Bitcoin that will change Wall
- 34:13Street. And you know, things are kind of
- 34:16very interesting, right? We all remember our friends at,
- 34:19you know, the World Economic Forum.
- 34:21You'll own nothing and be happy Everyone remembers that, right?
- 34:25Well, look, look at, take a look at one of their latest videos.
- 34:28Right from the very beginning, it says this Chocolate Factory
- 34:31is powered by a what? Net Zero Bitcoin mine.
- 34:35Wait a second, I thought Bitcoin.
- 34:36Remember, Remember that that meme from the World Economic
- 34:40Forum that said that Bitcoin was going to use all the electricity
- 34:44in the world? What changed?
- 34:46What changed? Well, you know what changed?
- 34:48BlackRock changed. And if you take a look at the
- 34:51very, very bottom of this, guess what?
- 34:54It says? ESG integration.
- 34:57That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Bitcoin is now ESG
- 35:03friendly. Why?
- 35:05Because, you know, it's Bitcoin and and the incentives.
- 35:09So this goes back to my final point, which is a very, very
- 35:13famous quote. I did not make it up.
- 35:15It is Max Keiser. Max Keiser is very, very
- 35:18involved in El Salvador and his very famous quote is you don't
- 35:22change Bitcoin, Bitcoin changes you.
- 35:25Even if that means redefining what ESG means.
- 35:28Even if that means, you know, one of the most evil, one of the
- 35:32most perceived evilest dudes in the world, Claude Schaub,
- 35:36saying, you know what this is Net zero.
- 35:38This is ESG friendly. Bitcoin does those things
- 35:40because of its incentives. So I I was talking about Max
- 35:44Kaiser a little bit. Max Kaiser's done amazing work
- 35:48in El Salvador, miss El Salvador.
- 35:51And I know Max and Stacey have done wonders down there, so I
- 35:55don't know if you want to talk a little bit about that.
- 35:58Well, I met them not not a long ago and yes, they if you, if you
- 36:06have like a big project or a big business about Bitcoin, they are
- 36:10definitely the people you want to talk to.
- 36:13They're very nice. They are super funny like you
- 36:16know and yeah, they they've been around quite, quite watching El
- 36:22Salvador and well they are the people you know.
- 36:27So they are. They are very friendly.
- 36:30Yeah. And and no, they, they've done
- 36:33wonders. Also.
- 36:34You know, they're part of the, the Bitcoin office in, you know,
- 36:38in El Salvador as well. They've really, really helped
- 36:41with the adoption of it as well. So yeah, shout out to Max and
- 36:45Stacey, they've really, really been pushing this forward.
- 36:48Max has been, you know, calling, you know, Bitcoin basically, You
- 36:52know, he's been on point. He's been telling, you know,
- 36:55very, very popular influencers, very popular people that have
- 36:59huge followings about about Bitcoin, when it was dollars,
- 37:02when it was pennies, when it was cents.
- 37:05So shout out to Max and Stacy really for being in the
- 37:08vanguard, the forefront of this movement and shout out to them
- 37:12both. And again, this quote is so, so
- 37:15powerful. You don't change Bitcoin.
- 37:17Bitcoin changes you. And I think a testament of that
- 37:20again is, you know, Bitcoin being included in this Strategic
- 37:25Income opportunities Fund. And at the very bottom of the
- 37:28page, it really says ESG integration.
- 37:31And then in coincidentally, you know, a World Economic Forum
- 37:34propaganda meme literally says this Chocolate Factory is
- 37:37powered by a net zero Bitcoin mine, which, you know, there was
- 37:41no net zero Bitcoin stuff, you know, a couple years ago.
- 37:45But I think that's just a testament to bitcoins incentives
- 37:48really taking over. And you know, we have to
- 37:51remember that Fiat Fiat's incentives are fundamentally
- 37:55broken. And because they are broken,
- 37:57they kind of like Frankenstein stuff.
- 38:00And I think a lot of people's perception of these large
- 38:03institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, you know, the World
- 38:07Economic Forum, I like to call the continuing Air Conference is
- 38:10that these are just like these large institutions with really
- 38:12evil people that are twirling their mustache and scheming and
- 38:16saying let's take over the world and you know, let's fuck things
- 38:18up. I think that they're just people
- 38:20trying to pay off their mortgages like the rest of us.
- 38:23I just think that the Fiat system has has misaligned
- 38:29incentives, whereas in the Bitcoin system has aligned
- 38:32incentives. So that's why it's like we all
- 38:34have PTSD right now. And you look at BlackRock and
- 38:38you're like, I I don't trust them.
- 38:40I don't trust them. I mean, you shouldn't trust
- 38:42them, but you know what you can trust?
- 38:44You can trust their incentives and no one can resist bitcoins
- 38:48irresistible incentives anyways. Opti, what's your take before we
- 38:52move on to the next topic? Yeah, well, I find it very
- 38:56interesting that, you know, right when Larry Fink gets into
- 39:00the market and his ETF is doing very well, we're starting to see
- 39:06the slow trickle of people changing their tunes on Bitcoin,
- 39:09especially the World Economic Forum.
- 39:11Like that's absolutely hilarious.
- 39:13I, I, I, I will not forget all of the all of the FUD that
- 39:17they've thrown at us, bitcoiners about us about to boil the world
- 39:20or using too much water or what has Bitcoin done for you lately
- 39:24type stuff. And now they're like, hey wait,
- 39:26actually look at this guys. It's helping conserve wildlife
- 39:30in Africa. Like you guys should love
- 39:31Bitcoin so it's very interesting to see that happen.
- 39:35And then the SIO Pension fund news, it's it's very interesting
- 39:41that we're finally seeing other people follow sailor's lead and
- 39:45now like it's going to slow trickle and we're probably in
- 39:48that gradually then suddenly moment where we're going to see
- 39:51a lot of people do the same playbook as sailor and sailors
- 39:54you know keep stacking so much Bitcoin and he's probably going
- 39:57to be like the richest guy in the world soon.
- 39:59So it's just incredible that this is where we are right now.
- 40:03And then on the BlackRock, the ESG part on their website, it is
- 40:07very interesting to see that black.
- 40:08Rock is pulling away from the their push towards ESG
- 40:11narratives and now them fully embracing Bitcoin.
- 40:15I don't think they're pulling. Pushing it away from it, they.
- 40:17They are. They are.
- 40:18They. They're.
- 40:19They're pushing it whatever. They yeah, they're like,
- 40:21defunding. One of their ESG funds, they're
- 40:23they're reframing what ESG stands for.
- 40:25So like obviously don't trust what they're saying, watch what
- 40:29they're doing. And on the back end, they're
- 40:31probably still pushing a lot of this stuff.
- 40:33I know a lot of their ESG stocks are still in their different
- 40:37portfolios, but you're starting to see that the pendulum is
- 40:41swinging a little bit and they're they, whether by choice
- 40:46or, you know, backtracking a little bit by them embracing
- 40:49Bitcoin. It just goes to show that
- 40:51Bitcoin is actually helping the the world economy and the
- 40:55ecosystem. And as much as they can talk bad
- 40:57about Bitcoin, Bitcoin actually does do what ESG intended to do,
- 41:02even though I don't like to use the ESG meme at all because it's
- 41:05already been tainted. But hey, this is all good for
- 41:09Bitcoin. We all know Bitcoin incentivizes
- 41:11the use of good energy, incentivizes the use of more
- 41:14energy. It's going to make the world
- 41:15better and shouts out to the Bitcoin miners out there that
- 41:18are doing cool creative stuff. You know, like, I want to try
- 41:21some of this, some of this chocolate, I I love dark
- 41:23chocolate. This, Like, how do we get in
- 41:25touch with them? I want to eat some of this,
- 41:27yeah. I love, too.
- 41:29I'm a big fan, so I want some. Let's get.
- 41:32Everyone in the. Chat guys, Miss El Salvador is a
- 41:34fan of chocolate. All right, all right.
- 41:37Moving on to the next section and that's that's today because
- 41:43the the Chad Sailor continues his speculative attack on the
- 41:48dollar. So essentially what Michael
- 41:51Sailor is doing is they announced that they're selling
- 41:56$700 million of convertible notes, a type of debt that could
- 42:00be turned into stock at a check this out at a .625 interest rate
- 42:06basically like for free due in 20-30.
- 42:11They initially plan to sell $600 million but increase that amount
- 42:16due to high demand. These notes are being offered to
- 42:19big institutional investors and might be increased by another
- 42:22100 million. If those investors want more,
- 42:26the sale is set to close. Sorry about that.
- 42:29The sale the the sale is set to close on March 8th, 2024.
- 42:33These notes are unsecured, meaning they're not backed by
- 42:36physical assets. MicroStrategy might buy back
- 42:39these notes under certain conditions, and the notes can be
- 42:42converted into MicroStrategy stock at a set price which is
- 42:46higher than the current stock price, indicating a positive
- 42:50outlook on their part. So essentially what they're
- 42:53doing is that they're leveraging their company, right, to raise
- 42:57this absurd amount of money at an interest rate of .625%.
- 43:03Look, just to kind of give you guys an idea of how low that is,
- 43:06right? We had record low interest rates
- 43:09for mortgages and all that stuff, and it was between 2.5
- 43:13and 3%. He's getting it for .625% and
- 43:19he's this is basically free money.
- 43:21This is a speculative attack. He's leveraging his company to
- 43:26buy more Bitcoin. He's going to use that 6 to $700
- 43:29million to buy more Bitcoin. And guess what happens to his
- 43:33stock once he buys more Bitcoin? This is what happens to his
- 43:39stock. So it just becomes this like
- 43:41self fulfilling prophecy right? His stock continues to go up.
- 43:46He keeps doing the same thing. Look, it just jumped back up
- 43:49again. 1283 dollars. Look, before Sailor started his
- 43:56Bitcoin strategy, his stock for many many years was stuck
- 44:01between 138 a $100 a hundred forty $120.00 and then started
- 44:07the Bitcoin strategy and now his stock.
- 44:10Since he started this is making all time highs at 1281 dollars.
- 44:17Make no mistake this is a speculative attack on the
- 44:22dollar. Here's Dylan Leclair.
- 44:24He says micro strategy raising 700 million at .625 per annum
- 44:29due in 20-30 with a convert strike price 40% higher than
- 44:33where the stock closed yesterday with all the proceeds going
- 44:37towards buying more Bitcoin master class Dylan Dylan said it
- 44:42himself Sailor is borrowing money for free.
- 44:45How do people not see what's happening?
- 44:49And this kind of goes back to the question that I asked Taylor
- 44:52when I saw him at Bitcoin Atlantis.
- 44:54And I was literally this air caisson, sailor and myself.
- 44:57And I was like, why hasn't people, why haven't people woken
- 45:00up to this? Maybe it's an ideological thing,
- 45:03maybe it's a pride thing. But I could tell you that it's
- 45:06not going to work out in the long run.
- 45:08Take a look at the numbers. The numbers don't lie, right?
- 45:12This is the performance of micro strategy since they've adopted
- 45:16the Bitcoin strategy since in 20.
- 45:19Since August 10th, 2020, MicroStrategy is up 466%.
- 45:24I think more than that, I think this is outdated.
- 45:26Bitcoin up 333%. The S&P is only up 49%, the
- 45:30NASDAQ only up 44%, Gold is down 1%, silver down 19%, bonds down
- 45:37down 20%. I think it's a bit outdated.
- 45:39That number is probably even higher right now.
- 45:42So the point is, is that, yes, Michael Saylor is using the
- 45:46legacy financial system. He's leveraging it to stack more
- 45:51Bitcoin. And yeah, I mean, look, people
- 45:53are in the chatter saying Sailor hates the dollar.
- 45:55This is without a shadow of a doubt, a speculative attack on
- 45:59the dollar. He's literally using the legacy
- 46:02system. He's leveraging his company in
- 46:05order to buy more Bitcoin. Then his price goes up, he
- 46:08rinses and repeats, and he just continues to buy more Bitcoin.
- 46:13I wish I had a Fortune 500 company to do the same thing.
- 46:16Damn. Wow.
- 46:17Michael Saylor is crushing the game.
- 46:19And look, I'm calling it now. It's only a matter of time.
- 46:23And we also got a question in the chat for Miss El Salvador,
- 46:26So we'll ask that in a second. But it's only a matter of time
- 46:30before a major tech company or another billionaire sees the
- 46:37what Michael Saylor is doing and follows in his footsteps.
- 46:40Now here's the thing though, ladies and gentlemen, There's
- 46:43not enough Bitcoin to go around. There's estimated to be between
- 46:4760 to 50 million millionaires all around the world.
- 46:52If one of them each just wanted one Bitcoin, there's physically
- 46:57not enough just to just to kind of give you guys an idea of the
- 47:01absolute scarcity and the demand that is coming.
- 47:05Anyways, we do have a question from Wineke.
- 47:07So I do want to ask this. I'm going to pull it up, trying
- 47:09to change it up a little bit, Winekiss says.
- 47:13Opti, Do you wanna ask Miss El Salvador what's your favorite
- 47:16pupusa flavor? Well, my favorite one to be
- 47:21honest. I do it myself.
- 47:23I just put a bunch of stuff. I just ask the lady to put
- 47:27mushroom, beans, cheese. I love lodocco, so I put some of
- 47:33it so it's a mix of things I just don't eat.
- 47:38The one that eats beans with cheese or the one of chicharron?
- 47:42No, I put a bunch of stuff. I always try to eat something
- 47:47different. So we also have someone said a
- 47:51really interesting comment. You are half Mexican tacos or
- 47:57pupusas. They always ask me that always,
- 48:02like always. But it's very hard because both
- 48:05are good, you know, like both are very different.
- 48:08Both have like very different flavors.
- 48:11So I wouldn't say that one is better than the other one.
- 48:15They are simply different, you know?
- 48:17OK. Miss El Salvador with a very
- 48:18political answer and here we go. Wine's Tips news segment Sell
- 48:26your SAT's, Buy chocolates from Miss El Salvador.
- 48:29Right. So I told you, you told the
- 48:31crowd that you like chocolates. You might be being sent a lot of
- 48:35chocolates in the near future. Also shout out Adam O'Brien, CEO
- 48:40of the Bitcoin. Well, best place to build
- 48:43yourself custody stack ladies and gentlemen, go to
- 48:46bitcoinwell.com today. But Opti is gonna I I I think we
- 48:51might be dropping a 24 hour me live stream talk about.
- 48:56This. Wow.
- 48:57Yeah, yeah, nukes the meme. Review And then it's like, hey
- 49:01hofty, now you gotta do a 24 hour meme review.
- 49:03What's going on here? So yeah, so we're working on it,
- 49:07but a 24 hour, just live stream of the best Bitcoin memes we we
- 49:14gotta give. I didn't nuke it.
- 49:15It's on Friday. I know I'm.
- 49:17Just I'm just trolling we're we're.
- 49:18Building it up, it like instead of Netflix where they drop the
- 49:21shows all in one in one season, it's kind of like going back to
- 49:24HBO where you have to wait a week for an episode, you know,
- 49:28and then it kind of like builds up the anticipation.
- 49:31Anyways, Opti, what's your, what's your thoughts on the
- 49:34speculative attack on the dollar?
- 49:36I mean that's the way that I see it, man.
- 49:38Like he's just like using the old, the the legacy system,
- 49:42leveraging the the legacy system in order to continue to build
- 49:46his Bitcoin stack. I mean, it's obvious to me.
- 49:50And what happens when someone else follows in his footsteps.
- 49:52This things gonna blow the the F up, you know?
- 49:56Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's very interesting that Sailor
- 49:59hasn't actually used that framing of a speculative attack
- 50:02on Bitcoin. Obviously there's like corporate
- 50:04legal reasons that he probably doesn't say this, but that's
- 50:07exactly what he's doing here. And and I've been joking about
- 50:10this for a while like I wish we had an infinite money printer
- 50:13like Sailor to just constantly stack Bitcoin and and do the
- 50:17financial trickery to get more Bitcoin and just acquire as much
- 50:20Bitcoin as possible. And man, it's just he's been
- 50:23putting on a master class for what like three years now or
- 50:25maybe four years now. We're on our 4th year.
- 50:27I think it is and it's just incredible to see.
- 50:30And and I think that signal is starting to spread a little bit
- 50:34and people are waking up to what Sailor is doing.
- 50:37And of course as much as we like to, I don't know, throw shade at
- 50:41the spot Bitcoin ETF, we are seeing that the adoption level
- 50:44levels of Bitcoin are going to increase and more people are
- 50:47starting to get educated around Bitcoin.
- 50:49We know that BlackRock is out here doing conferences educating
- 50:53people about Bitcoin. So we have you know I hate to
- 50:55use the smartest people in the world but like the smartest
- 50:58financiers in the world starting to spread the Bitcoin memes and
- 51:02now I think it's going to be. I know I know we have AQ one
- 51:07about to wrap up in what April. So maybe we'll get some news
- 51:10coming out that other people are starting to follow that lead.
- 51:13But man, Sailor is just way ahead of the game and he's just
- 51:16showing everyone how to do it. He's gonna again most likely be
- 51:19the richest person on planet Earth within I don't know four
- 51:22years. Yeah.
- 51:24Besides Satoshi and I think we're seeing that Wall Street is
- 51:29waking up to this and and once we see a few more billionaires
- 51:32start to do this, you know, we we were kind of speculating
- 51:35whether Bezos is doing this. It's like they know the game.
- 51:40I I'm sure we're seeing. I mean, I was looking at some
- 51:43other videos yesterday and a lot of of the richest people in the
- 51:46world are starting to divest out of their stocks right now.
- 51:49And they're all looking for alternatives because hey, I
- 51:53don't know if you guys are paying attention closely, but
- 51:55you are, if you're watching simply Bitcoin, the financial
- 51:57world is, you know, it's limping along and people are looking for
- 52:01different ways to store value. And hey, it's only going to take
- 52:05a few billionaires, a few people with a lot of capital with
- 52:09conviction to really drive this price up crazy.
- 52:12And once they everyone starts doing this, like I said it
- 52:14yesterday on a good day with Sean yesterday on a podcast.
- 52:18Like once even nation states wake up.
- 52:21You know, once people with the money printers wake up and
- 52:23they're just directly printing money to stack Bitcoin, like, I
- 52:27don't know about you, but this, this just going to blow your
- 52:29mind and the price is going to go nuclear.
- 52:30But hey, in the meantime sailors just out here winning too hard
- 52:35and and you know black rocks trying to catch up.
- 52:36But he might have got a too far of a head lead there, so we'll
- 52:40see what happens 100. Percent, 100%.
- 52:43All right, guys, Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
- 52:44You do have a question here, Nico.
- 52:45They say you keep, you keep skirting away from what the
- 52:48conversation with Sailor was, I said.
- 52:52As much as I could. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
- 52:55before we move on to the culture culture segment to talk about
- 52:59what Alejandra is working on these days, I do want to give a

- 53:40on your screen. All right, everybody, let's hit
- 53:41the culture segment. The Daily Culture.
- 53:53And I also do want to give a very special shout out to our
- 53:56sponsor, Bitcoin Evangelism, Planting Seeds for the
- 53:59Decentralized Revolution. This is a book written by our
- 54:03boy Brian de Mint, and it's an absolute beast of a resource for
- 54:06orange peeling, no corners and all corners alike.
- 54:08This is a book for bit corners who know Bitcoin but have a hard
- 54:11time explaining it to their friends.
- 54:13It's a book for bitcoiners who are trying to explain Bitcoin
- 54:16only to all corners. It's available on Amazon right
- 54:19now. All you got to do is scan the QR
- 54:21code on your screen or check the link in the video description.
- 54:26All right, Opti, I see what you have.
- 54:30All right. Oh, Nico, Nico, you took
- 54:32yourself off screen. There we go.
- 54:34I am. Back that is Miss El Salvador.
- 54:37Miss Bitcoin. Let me let me ask you something,
- 54:41Alejandra who Who came up with that costume?
- 54:43Was it your idea? Yes, it was my idea, No.
- 54:47Way. Wow.
- 54:49OK, OK. All right.
- 54:50Tell us more. Tell us more.
- 54:53OK, my idea and when I told the designer what I wanted, well,
- 54:58like I like I've been saying this a few times that
- 55:02Salvadorans, they do not know a lot about Bitcoin when the
- 55:08president implemented as legal tender.
- 55:11So some of them, some of Salvadorans, they thought that
- 55:16the government made it to steal their money because they gave
- 55:19$30.00 for free to all citizens in El Salvador and some people
- 55:25got hacked with the app of Chivo.
- 55:27So the the Salvadorans thought that the government made it to
- 55:31steal money. And then when I told the
- 55:34designer this that I wanted to be all about Bitcoin, he told me
- 55:38no because Bitcoin doesn't represent us and blah blah blah.
- 55:43Like he didn't want it to be all Bitcoin.
- 55:46So he decided to do the history of the coin of El Salvador.
- 55:50So my costume is not only about Bitcoin, it's about the cacao
- 55:55that it's in the border because well around the coin because
- 56:00back then with the Mayans, the cacao was a coin and then the
- 56:04colon was the the first coin of El Salvador, then the US dollar
- 56:09and the Bitcoin. But when I saw it, I loved it.
- 56:13I I imagined something else. What I wanted to to show in at
- 56:18Miss Universe was like like an Iron Man suit, you know, like
- 56:24all gold with, I don't know, some wings, something like that,
- 56:28like super futuristic. I wanted to be about Bitcoin,
- 56:31but I don't know if you know. But this year I will be
- 56:36participating in another international pageant.
- 56:39I'll be representing El Salvador.
- 56:42So my national costume, I want it to be also about Bitcoin, but
- 56:45something like I said, like something different, more
- 56:49futuristic and only about Bitcoin.
- 56:52So if some of you have some ideas, I'll be happy to listen
- 56:57to them. Love it, love it.
- 57:00Well, OK. That's crazy.
- 57:01On like an international level, when you wore this, like, did,
- 57:05did people even care? Or is it just, I know it was a
- 57:08hit In the Bitcoin community, everyone's like, Oh my God, I'm
- 57:11in love. So what?
- 57:13What did, like, I don't know. The other contestants say when
- 57:15you wore this, did, did they, did they even register it?
- 57:18Or they're just like, OK, that's cool.
- 57:20Well, some. Some, of course, OK.
- 57:24There were like 85 countries and some of them, they didn't know
- 57:28what Bitcoin was. So they, like, they didn't
- 57:31bother to ask, but there were some people backstage that they
- 57:37were working, yeah, backstage at Miss Universe with the cameras
- 57:41and all of that. And they were like, whoa, your
- 57:44costume is about Bitcoin. I love it.
- 57:46And they did a lot of interviews about me, but that was it, you
- 57:50know? And then after I went out with
- 57:52my Bitcoin dress, then I saw a lot of people were posting a
- 57:57bunch of stuff of my picture and, like, sending me messages.
- 58:01Like, they literally told me, like, Bitcoin was odd because of
- 58:04you. Thank you so much.
- 58:06And I was like, OK, you're what? Yeah, it was a big thing.
- 58:12I remember. All right.
- 58:15She told me like, Oh my God, like your your, your costume is
- 58:20in all the news in Panama and mine is not, you know?
- 58:26Like you take a spotlight. Were you, Were you Were you
- 58:30nervous when you went on stage? No, I wasn't.
- 58:36I wasn't because you know, there's a lot I there's a lot of
- 58:40adrenaline excitement, so you forget about that.
- 58:43And also you are on stage, what, like 30 seconds?
- 58:4740 seconds, It's nothing. So you felt it like you feel it
- 58:51like very, very fast. So no, I wasn't nervous.
- 58:54And it was something that I wanted since I was a little
- 58:57girl. So I was very excited.
- 58:59Gotcha. Gotcha, was it?
- 59:00Heavy is was the coin heavy? It seems like it might be heavy.
- 59:04No, it wasn't because he had like a support.
- 59:07OK, So yeah, it had a support. And also like I said, like you
- 59:11walk, what, 30 seconds? So and with all the excitement
- 59:16and adrenaline, you don't feel anything.
- 59:20Got you, Got you. OK And let me ask you something.
- 59:23So, so this happened and made a big splash in the Bitcoin
- 59:26community, you know, made a big splash like internationally.
- 59:31But what what? Like what happened after?
- 59:34Like you, you know, you made this this big splash.
- 59:37Like what happens? Like what happens when you know
- 59:40you become Miss El Salvador? What responsibilities come with
- 59:45it and how? How does Bitcoin play into all
- 59:49of this? Well, after the pageant I I
- 59:54started to do like more social work in El Salvador.
- 59:57I started to go to schools and educate little kids about
- 1:00:00Bitcoin. I gave them like free shirts
- 1:00:02about with AB of Bitcoin, like white shirts.
- 1:00:06And then I started to do. My designs of the shirts about
- 1:00:10Bitcoin and the culture of El Salvador and also to support the
- 1:00:15other part of education with the little kids.
- 1:00:18And I started to to to give more talks about my experience at
- 1:00:24Miss Universe about Bitcoin, why you should buy Bitcoin.
- 1:00:28Why you should like save you know Bitcoin and and use it more
- 1:00:34because Salvadorans they they do not take the advantage even
- 1:00:39though it's it's it's our coin only the foreigners.
- 1:00:42So that was something that shocked me and that's why I
- 1:00:45decided to go to schools and and educate all of these people.
- 1:00:50And then also I I started to promote more about health like
- 1:00:55because ten years ago I started to grow my own fruits,
- 1:00:58vegetables. So I talk about those two things
- 1:01:01about being self independent in your food, growing your own
- 1:01:05organic food and being self independent in your economy with
- 1:01:09Bitcoin. So that align and I said, like,
- 1:01:12OK, I'm gonna talk about these two things.
- 1:01:15I'm gonna advocate about this, teach kids about being self
- 1:01:19independent in the two things that are most more essential in
- 1:01:25life, that it's your economy and food of course.
- 1:01:28So that's one of my projects, two of my projects.
- 1:01:32And also I have a CVD business because I grow cannabis as well.
- 1:01:38And we, we do CVD oil for people that is sick, that has cancer,
- 1:01:45Parkinson's, all of that. And we we give it for free to
- 1:01:49people in needs and we started to do the business to keep
- 1:01:53helping all of that people. I have here one of the CBD oils
- 1:01:57and everything. It's handmade.
- 1:01:58It's organic, of course, because, well, my dad, he got
- 1:02:02pancreatic cancer and he got cured because of everything that
- 1:02:06we've done, like the CBD oil, because it regenerates the cells
- 1:02:11and what is cancer is cancer, regional cells.
- 1:02:15So the CBD helps a lot for that and also eating healthier and
- 1:02:20eating organic. Wow.
- 1:02:22OK, well that's so much to unpack there.
- 1:02:24Does your business accept Bitcoin?
- 1:02:27Of course. OK, great answer, Great answer,
- 1:02:31Opti. Yeah, no.
- 1:02:33So you're working on a lot of projects.
- 1:02:35But before I go to that, I know Nika loves this topic, hence why
- 1:02:39I'm going to ask you the question.
- 1:02:40But how has Bitcoin changed El Salvador?
- 1:02:43Do you do you see people, more people adopting Bitcoin?
- 1:02:47What? What's going on down there?
- 1:02:48We like to get people down there actually tell us the truth.
- 1:02:51So what's going on? Yes, definitely.
- 1:02:54There's a lot of more people, Salvadorans are using Bitcoin
- 1:02:58that want to pay, pay to pay things with Bitcoin, of course.
- 1:03:03So I think every every year is getting more and more and more
- 1:03:07into there because they are learning more, of course,
- 1:03:11because like I said, at the beginning they didn't know what
- 1:03:15was Bitcoin, they didn't know anything.
- 1:03:17But now that there are more education about it and also the
- 1:03:21government is going to implement some Bitcoin classes of course,
- 1:03:25And so people can be like saving at least you know that every
- 1:03:31time I go to schools I tell kids like instead of like wasting
- 1:03:35your $1.00 in candies, put it on Bitcoin.
- 1:03:40It doesn't matter if it's a lot or if it's or if it's too, too
- 1:03:44low. Like if you if, if, if you
- 1:03:47invest at least $1.00 a month, well, that's something you know
- 1:03:50you you can start little by little because people also think
- 1:03:54that only people with money can afford this.
