Digital ID: The Global Surveillance State Is Here | How Bitcoin Fights Back | Bitcoin Simply · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  Everywhere you look, governments and billionaires are racing to
• 0:02
  roll out a digital Ida single unified key that can control
• 0:07
  where you work, what you buy, and even what you say online.
• 0:11
  And this will come through 24/7 surveillance.
• 0:14
  Your your. Your body cams will be
• 0:15
  transmitting that. The police will be on their best
• 0:19
  behavior because we record. We're constantly recording,
• 0:23
  watching and recording everything that's going on.
• 0:25
  Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're
• 0:28
  constantly recording and reporting everything that's
• 0:30
  going on. Bill Gates says it's the key to
• 0:32
  financial inclusion. Larry Ellison says it's the key
• 0:35
  to good behavior. Neil Oliver calls it a digital
• 0:38
  prison. An RFK says it will be required
• 0:41
  to have digital obedience. It's going to be pitched as a
• 0:43
  means to safety, inconvenience or financial inclusion.
• 0:47
  But nobody in the mainstream media tells you that once it's
• 0:49
  in place, it's not getting turned off.
• 0:51
  That is unless you use open source technology like Bitcoin.
• 0:54
  This is down to cook with Bitcoin simply.
• 0:56
  And today, we're exposing the global surveillance state and
• 0:59
  why Bitcoin is our best defense. Let's go.
• 1:06
  We've probably all seen this clip at this point, but it needs
• 1:08
  to serve as the foundation for what governments want to
• 1:11
  implement and the type of messaging they're going to give
• 1:14
  as to why we should all have it. And that is why today I am
• 1:17
  announcing this government will make a new free of charge
• 1:21
  digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this
• 1:27
  Parliament. Let me spell that out.
• 1:30
  You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not
• 1:34
  have digital ID. It's as simple as that.
• 1:38
  A digital ID will serve as the foundation about everyone's
• 1:42
  purchasing habits, about their personal identifiable
• 1:44
  information, their healthcare information, and their social
• 1:47
  media activity. And it'll be sold as a means of
• 1:50
  safety or convenience. But do we really need more
• 1:53
  safety? Do we need more convenience?
• 1:55
  Apple Pay works pretty good. Identifying your identity when
• 1:58
  you need to sign on to a platform is pretty seamless
• 2:01
  these days. It's about having a single
• 2:03
  unified ID to track all of your behavior in one.
• 2:07
  When you come to government and what government's doing there,
• 2:10
  obviously there are artificial intelligence tools and some of
• 2:13
  them I know the Oracle have developed around financial
• 2:16
  management for government. But also tell us a bit about
• 2:20
  what, because you're right at the forefront of this
• 2:23
  revolution, what it means for what government should do in
• 2:25
  terms of its digital infrastructure, you know,
• 2:29
  digital ID, data centres and so on.
• 2:32
  How do you take advantage of these incredible AIAI models?
• 2:36
  And the first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of
• 2:43
  their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model.
• 2:49
  You have to take all of your healthcare data, your diagnostic
• 2:52
  data, your electronic health records, your genomic data.
• 2:57
  And you know, in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example,
• 3:00
  they, they're incredibly rich in data.
• 3:03
  They have a lot of population data.
• 3:06
  The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population
• 3:09
  data, but it's fragmented. It's not easily accessible by
• 3:14
  these AI models. We have to take all of this data
• 3:18
  we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will,
• 3:22
  unified data platform. In this sort of world, there is
• 3:26
  no way about having a difference of opinion.
• 3:28
  If your messaging is deemed as toxic or not aligned with the
• 3:32
  current political regime, well, you will be blocked, you will be
• 3:35
  censored and you will be monitored.
• 3:36
  The only way that you will get the things that you actually
• 3:39
  need is through digital obedience.
• 3:41
  What we're saying today is what I call turnkey totalitarianism.
• 3:51
  They are putting in place all of these technical, technological
• 3:57
  mechanisms for control we've never seen before.
• 4:01
  It's been the ambition of every totalitarian state from the
• 4:06
  beginning of mankind to control every aspect of behavior, of
• 4:11
  conduct, of thought, and to obliterate dissent.
• 4:16
  None of them have been able to do it.
• 4:18
  They didn't have the technological capacity.
• 4:20
  Today, the mechanisms are being put in place and we'll make it
• 4:25
  so none of us can run and none of us can hide.
• 4:29
  The within five years we're going to see 415,000 low orbit
• 4:34
  satellites. Bill Gates says his 65,000
• 4:39
  satellites alone, we'll be able to look at every square inch of
• 4:44
  the planet 24 hours a day. Digital currency that will allow
• 4:48
  them to punish us from a distance and cut off our food
• 4:51
  supply. Every right that you have is
• 4:55
  transformed into a privilege contingent upon your obedience
• 5:01
  to arbitrary government dictates.
• 5:03
  Neil Oliver, who's pretty hyperbolic all the time I will
• 5:06
  admit, does have a good analogy for this.
• 5:08
  He calls it a digital prison, in which you need a digital key to
• 5:11
  unlock the things that you actually need.
• 5:13
  The mummy and daddy of all bait and switches comes with digital
• 5:17
  ID. The bait is the well tried one
• 5:20
  which is convenience. Such a tasty carrot.
• 5:23
  The bright and crunchy carrot of convenience will seek to
• 5:25
  reassure you that digital ID will keep you safe and ensure
• 5:28
  your privacy. The dark side, the enemy inside
• 5:32
  the Trojan horse is that every shred of your private data will
• 5:36
  be shared with any government agency and any so-called
• 5:40
  stakeholder that wants it. Above all else, know this.
• 5:44
  The new world into which we are sleepwalking is one of Zero
• 5:47
  trust. Zero trust is not my idea, it's
• 5:51
  the official foundation of your future.
• 5:54
  Zero trust means each one of us is regarded as a criminal until
• 5:58
  we can prove otherwise by exposing every scrap of our
• 6:01
  data. We will be guilty until we prove
• 6:04
  our innocence. To shop online, you'll have to
• 6:07
  use your digital ID to prove you are who you are just to read
• 6:11
  your e-mail. To use online banking, even to
• 6:14
  open your computer will require your digital ID.
• 6:17
  You'll be in digital jail until you open it with your digital
• 6:21
  key. To wealthy nations, again, it's
• 6:23
  going to be marketed as a means of safety and convenience, but
• 6:26
  to poor nations, it will be marketed as a means of financial
• 6:29
  inclusion. Listen to what Bill Gates has to
• 6:31
  say about the Mojo Loop and the innovative programs that they're
• 6:34
  rolling out right now. Well, we believe having the
• 6:38
  ability to save and transact is something that should be
• 6:45
  universal and a lot of forms have adopted that goal.
• 6:50
  We won't be able to do that with traditional systems.
• 6:53
  That is the cost of bank branches and paperwork.
• 6:57
  It's just too high. But fortunately, starting with
• 7:01
  countries like Kenya and more recently with the robust system
• 7:05
  in places like India, we see that you can have digital
• 7:11
  financial inclusion. India's a great example.
• 7:15
  They did a lot of their own technology, which won't be
• 7:18
  possible for other countries. And so the role of the Gates
• 7:22
  Foundation is an advocate for those who don't have access
• 7:26
  today is to make sure there's technology and standards,
• 7:31
  including open source work that we're providing through the
• 7:35
  financial switch, which is called Moshe Loop, and through
• 7:39
  the digital identity system, which is extremely valuable, not
• 7:42
  just for financial activities, but for health and voting and
• 7:46
  education. And that's called MOS SIP.
• 7:49
  It's funny, and he says that it needs to give everyone access to
• 7:52
  financial tools, the ability to save in financial payment rails.
• 7:55
  Well, don't we already have that cypherpunk, Fortune 500, Exact
• 7:59
  and Bitcoin OG? Jack Dorsey says that Bitcoin is
• 8:03
  the greatest source of freedom and it doesn't actually doesn't
• 8:06
  mean that you can't build a big business on top of it.
• 8:08
  He talks about the old giants like Google building their
• 8:11
  entire business model on open source technology.
• 8:14
  I think national monopolies happened for a time, but they're
• 8:18
  easily disrupted. I don't think it's as
• 8:21
  challenging as as one would think.
• 8:23
  I mean, Twitter has only been around for 17 years, which which
• 8:28
  seems like a long time, but there was a, you know, a Myspace
• 8:31
  before that and a Friendster before that and by Usenet before
• 8:35
  that, which was completely decentralized and unknown by, by
• 8:38
  anyone. I, I don't, I don't think more
• 8:43
  government regulation is necessarily the right answer to
• 8:47
  ward off the monopoly aspects or fix some of the issues.
• 8:51
  I think having a having an open protocol that no one actually
• 8:55
  owns and governments and corporations can't bend to their
• 8:59
  will is the most important thing that allows for the most
• 9:05
  creative solutions to all the problems we see, including
• 9:08
  protecting freedom of speech and including providing safety for
• 9:12
  folks who who who want it. And my hope is that, you know,
• 9:17
  as we build these technologies like like Nostril and Bitcoin,
• 9:21
  that a company like Twitter adopts them because it removes a
• 9:24
  bunch of the liability they would have otherwise.
• 9:26
  And they can build phenomenal businesses on top of it.
• 9:30
  And to prove that, you see what Google has done with the web,
• 9:34
  they used an open protocol, built a phenomenal business.
• 9:36
  They built a phenomenal business on Gmail, which is an open
• 9:39
  protocol for e-mail. There are real opportunities
• 9:44
  building on open protocols where the we're at the same time the
• 9:48
  foundational aspect of it, the foundational layer that people
• 9:52
  own and the company can't bend towards its will one way or the
• 9:56
  other. Jack, what do you think?
• 9:58
  About AI regulation before we continue around this digital
• 10:01
  dystopian world, let's take a break to thank our sponsors.
• 10:04
  If you've been stacking stats well, you don't want to give up
• 10:06
  those hard earned stats for worthless Fiat dollars.
• 10:09
  You need a service that allows you to unlock liquidity in your
• 10:12
  Bitcoin without selling it. A Bitcoin back loan service that
• 10:14
  has issued over $9 billion worth of loans to people since 2018.
• 10:18
  And the leader in Bitcoin back loans is Lenin.
• 10:20
  They have a perfect record of protecting clients assets, not a
• 10:23
  single cent or dollar lost. With custody loans, your funds
• 10:27
  are never lent out. There's no credit checks.
• 10:29
  You can get funds in your account in less than six hours.
• 10:32
  There's no monthly payments. You can repay anytime you want
• 10:35
  with 0 penalties and they start at just 12.4%, about half of
• 10:39
  what you could get a credit card for today.

• 10:43
  Simply one of the ways that you can remove yourself from this
• 10:46
  digital dystopian future is by removing your digital assets
• 10:50
  offline. The way that you can do that
• 10:51
  safely, securely, privately, and in a way that's pretty
• 10:54
  straightforward is by getting a coach, someone who can walk you
• 10:57
  through step by step of exactly how to do that.
• 10:59
  And that's why we partnered with the Bitcoin Way, the leaders in
• 11:02
  helping you to protect your generational wealth the right
• 11:04
  way through human service, connecting a human person to
• 11:08
  this digital network called Bitcoin.
• 11:09
  The more and more we move into a digital future, the more you're
• 11:12
  going to need to learn how to move that offline.
• 11:14
  Schedule a free 30 minute consultation at the
• 11:16
  bitcoinway.com/simply Bitcoin. All right, Ellison has made it
• 11:20
  clear a unified database or a unified platform plus AI equals
• 11:23
  the future that we want. He says this is the secret
• 11:26
  sauce. We have these modern financial
• 11:28
  systems, so you know, countries can and all, for example, the AI
• 11:34
  system will help you help you do that.
• 11:38
  But again, the secret is to get all and get all of that data in
• 11:42
  one place without having the basic data.
• 11:45
  It doesn't have the. IT cannot answer the question
• 11:48
  about your country. But what if there was a better
• 11:50
  protocol, An open source protocol that was built on top
• 11:53
  of a technology that AI can't crack?
• 11:55
  I wonder what that is? Computer with a date stamp and a
• 11:59
  particular time, I think you know it's more likely to be true
• 12:03
  than not. You can also crypto
• 12:07
  cryptographically assigned things like, you know,
• 12:11
  mathematically. We don't see any way, for
• 12:14
  example, for AI to subvert the fundamentals of mathematics and
• 12:21
  say, figure out how to hash Bitcoin, you know, easily.
• 12:30
  It's it's like it's not AI can't can't defy fundamental math.
• 12:35
  So you can approve the efficiency of Bitcoin hashing
• 12:41
  algorithms in the silicon, but but but not not fundamentally
• 12:45
  crack it. So I guess cryptographic
• 12:50
  signatures and one way to do it. Bitcoin is voluntary, borderless
• 12:57
  and uncensorable. It doesn't care who you are,
• 13:00
  where you live, or what your score is.
• 13:02
  And that's why people will try to build an alternative system
• 13:05
  that they claim to be open source.
• 13:06
  That's why governments and leaders all around the world are
• 13:09
  trying to build alternative systems that they will mark it
• 13:11
  as open source, as safety, inconvenience focused or as a
• 13:15
  means of financial inclusion. But news flash, we already had
• 13:18
  that a person named Satoshi Nakamoto or persons launched
• 13:22
  this thing in 2009 and they did so anonymously and
• 13:25
  pseudonymously so that people couldn't come after this
• 13:28
  technology that was built to serve not just governments and
• 13:31
  corporations, but everyone. Math is greater than AI, open
• 13:35
  source is better than a walled garden, and self custody is
• 13:38
  better than permission to access.
• 13:39
  If you don't like the idea of a digital leash, well, Start
• 13:42
  learning about the alternative stacks acts and become
• 13:44
  sovereign. And one of the ways that you can
• 13:46
  continue to grow in this digital dystopian is by having real
• 13:49
  relationships with real people that are like minded in real
• 13:52
  life. One of the best ways that I've
• 13:54
  grown my relationships in Bitcoin is by going to
• 13:56
  conferences in person conferences like the largest
• 13:59
  mining Expo in the world happening in Dallas, TX from
