0:31
number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution.
0:35
Today, we have a very special show lined up but first Famous
0:39
Opti coming back from the Block boom, I don't know about famous
0:44
as why? No, he's tells me I have leveled
0:47
up. I'm no longer just a daedelus
0:49
pleb celebrity. I think I'm moving up in the
0:53
ranks. But yes guys, awesome.
0:56
Awesome weekend. I am going to cover it in the
0:58
daily culture. I'm going to cover the bit
1:00
block. Boom.
1:00
And why, you know why I feel people should go and what I take
1:04
out from this. So, this is what my sections
1:06
going to be. Today, it's a little different
1:08
than you Well, but this is the daily culture and I think that
1:12
this is a great great moment to take to make this point since
1:15
I'm still Fresh Off The Experience.
1:17
So that's what I'm covering today, Nico, I'm excited.
1:20
And today in the news we have, we're also going to cover a
1:24
little bit about what was talked about during bit block.
1:27
Boom, Ross Stevens. I'll tell you a little bit about
1:31
him in a second, but he announced check this out.
1:34
Very, very, very interesting name.
1:37
He called it in Wolf's clothing and that apparently is a Bitcoin
1:42
lightning Network accelerator. What a name?
1:45
What a name? I wonder what the names about,
1:47
but anyways, let's start the show, shall we?
1:54
Number two brought to you by not all they make some of the best
1:57
Bitcoin. Nodes run your own version of
1:59
Bitcoin core. The lightning Network whirlpool
2:02
and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
2:05
Remember guys, if you don't run your own Bitcoin node, you're
2:08
trusting someone else's and if you're a digital Nomad you have
2:11
no excuse because now you could run a novel through a virtual
2:15
private server visit noddle Dottie you today.
2:18
That's right guys, if you are not running your own Bitcoin
2:20
know you're trusting, someone else's Run a node do it today.
2:24
Anyways at the time of recording the Bitcoin prices at twenty
2:28
twenty thousand three hundred and thirty we did dip below 19k
2:32
over the weekend. I hope you guys stack because I
2:35
stacked like crazy. Anyways, I borrowed money to
2:38
stack. I didn't leverage but I did
2:41
borrow money anyways, SATs per dollar 4919 Moscow, time block
2:46
height, 750, 1720 reachable, Bitcoin notes, 15,000 114 Locked
2:53
to The Happening. 88,000 280, having estimate April 22nd 2024
2:58
total lightning network capacity for thousand five hundred and
3:01
ninety-nine Bitcoin capacity, value, 93 million u.s. dollars
3:06
hash rate over the last 90 days. 207x, a hash has realized
3:11
monetary inflation 1.78 percent market capitalization 389
3:18
billion dollars. Bitcoin is still a tiny Two
3:23
baby. Anyways, anyways, didn't declare
3:27
posted a really interesting video over the weekend, and I
3:30
wanted us to react to it. Apparently, it was the Minnesota
3:33
fed president. I can't pronounce that.
3:36
I'm sorry, guys. His name is Nell.
3:39
Neel Kashkari. Thank you, optio.
3:42
Wow optic. Could read today after bit
3:44
block? Boom.
3:44
Everything changed on the advantages of Central Bank,
3:47
digital currencies. Anyways, let's see what he has
3:50
to say and then we'll talk about it in a second.
3:54
I'm pretty skeptical. I keep asking anybody anybody at
3:57
the fed or outside in the FED to explain to me what problem, this
4:01
is solving addition, I can send anybody in this room five
4:04
dollars with venmo right now, right now seriously.
4:07
So what is it that a CBC could do that venmo.
4:10
Can't do. And all I get is a bunch of hand
4:13
waving I get about, well, maybe it's better for financial
4:15
inclusion. Maybe it's better for
4:17
cross-border remittances. Maybe, is there any evidence
4:19
that it is and, you know, they said, well, what about China?
4:22
China is doing it? Well, I can see why China would
4:24
do it if they want to monitor every one of your transactions,
4:28
you could do that with the Central Bank, digital currency.
4:30
You can't do that with been Mo. If you want to impose negative
4:33
interest rates, you could do that with the Central Bank,
4:35
digital currency. You can't do that with venmo.
4:37
And if you want to directly Tax customer accounts, you could do
4:40
that with the central bank. Occurrence, you can't do that
4:42
with been Mo, but I get why China would be interested.
4:46
Why would the American people before that?
4:49
How long until he gets fired? Or suicided how long?
4:54
Because I think he's saying what all bitcoiners have been saying
4:57
and it's funny after him saying that connect.
4:59
The dots guys, remember, what the UN report was saying,
5:01
advocating for Central Bank, digital currencies, the world
5:04
economic forum advocating for a central bank, digital
5:07
currencies. Now you heard it from someone
5:09
that works at the American Center.
5:11
T'rul Bank, literally saying parroting.
5:14
What bitcoiners have been saying this can and will be used for
5:18
systems of control. If the UN was really concerned
5:22
about financially inclusivity, they would push something like
5:26
Bitcoin but the problem is that if you push something like
5:30
Bitcoin, that means less control for them so it's exactly what
5:36
what Neil said, right. It's like he's kind of going in
5:39
this. Like, like they're In this
5:41
bartering phase where they're trying to justify this
5:45
totalitarian system in their heads so that everybody else
5:49
goes along with it. But in reality, it doesn't do it
5:53
better look at the end of the day and I think it was a leader
5:55
Bob that said this, right? And I remember when he first
5:57
told me, I was like, no, but they're going to implement
5:59
Central Bank says, he's like dude, everything's digital
6:01
already right? Think about it.
6:03
Like, you know, I know some places use cash.
6:06
I know some of you like cash, right.
6:07
But the majority of transactions for most people is through Debit
6:11
card is through the financial rails, right?
6:13
And if you live in the United States, they're extremely
6:15
developed right. There's so many options.
6:17
There's PayPal, there's cash app, there's venmo, right?
6:22
So it already does these things. There's L right already, does
6:25
these things? Why do they want to implement
6:27
this on top of it? Well, the reason that they came
6:29
up with it in the first place is to try to remain relevant in the
6:33
eyes of Bitcoin. That's why that's why they came
6:35
up with this. They wouldn't if they wouldn't
6:37
have done anything, if it wasn't for Bitcoin.
6:39
So Central Bank, digital currencies are Just an attempt
6:42
by governments in order to remain relevant and afters after
6:45
which Bitcoin was invented. But now you're hearing it from
6:48
the horse's mouth itself, you're hearing it from the people that
6:52
stand the most to benefit from a central bank, digital currency
6:55
what they can. And if history is a teacher,
6:58
what they will be used in order to abuse their populations in
7:02
order to control their populations, right?
7:05
So anyways, I don't think that guy's going to be working at the
7:08
FED very low naughty. What are your thoughts, bro?
7:11
Well to be honest it's just like a wow moment, I did not see
7:17
this. This narrative coming from Neel
7:19
Kashkari dunking on cbc's on my bingo card.
7:23
So this is a pretty awesome video in my opinion considering
7:27
like you said, you know, bitcoiners I've been saying this
7:29
for a long long time and now it's like we say it all the time
7:33
you can't stop the signal and we Set it on this show so many
7:38
times that CBD sees is just PR like Bitcoin has forced The
7:41
Narrative and the powers that be have to spin this narrative so
7:45
that they can coop the movement that is Bitcoin.
7:47
And you know remember the last time that Neel Kashkari was in
7:51
the news is when he was saying that the FED can print infinite
7:55
dollars and then they rolled it back and like oh wait, no we
7:58
don't just print money, you know, the with there's all this
8:00
yada, yada yada bullshit and it's like amazing that we're
8:04
that we're seeing this narrative.
8:06
And I think this is just kind of further further cements the idea
8:10
that Nico says it all the time. You know, there is no cohesive
8:16
unit of evil people out there that are doing this stuff.
8:20
Like there is some some high-level people that you can
8:24
almost guarantee are like the evil ones that are working
8:28
collectively but that's a small handful of people.
8:30
The majority of people are just individuals like you and I and
8:34
the incentives are set up in such Way, where they have to
8:37
continue to kick the down down the can down the road.
8:40
They have to, you know, they just work a normal job, they're
8:44
trying to survive and they're working within a certain
8:46
framework. And I think we have this view
8:49
right here with Neel Kashkari. You know like he understands
8:53
what as bitcoiners understand. It's like everything's already
8:56
digital guys. There is no, there is no move to
8:59
digital dollars is like, the dollar is already digital.
9:02
This is just a PR spin because like I said, they understand
9:06
that. That the Bitcoin narrative is so
9:09
strong that they have to co-op that narrative any way possible,
9:12
so that they can confuse the people out there that don't have
9:15
the time to look down and do the Deep dive research.
9:18
You know, people Nica's taught me this a lot.
9:21
It's like, people only have enough time to read the
9:23
headlines. And if you get a catchy
9:25
headline, that's all that really matters.
9:28
If people aren't really spending the time to dig in the weed and
9:33
read the meat and the substance of Articles.
9:35
So they just have good good. Headlines and they just keep
9:37
pushing that narrative down until you know, the truth comes
9:41
out. And here we have it, you know,
9:43
can't stop the signal. Everything is already digital
9:46
CBC is trash. And and now we have someone that
9:49
is within the system saying the same thing as as Bitcoin or so
9:52
what, you know, Bitcoin is right.
9:54
Again, bitcoiners day winning, feels good, always being right.
9:57
Nico. I like it's kind of hard staying
9:59
humble. Sometimes, I'm not gonna lie
10:00
like we're always right always right.
10:03
Boom. Boom.
10:04
I mean it's just it. Look, once you The game theory,
10:07
once you appreciate people's incentives, you kind of
10:10
understand where this is going and here's Loco, right?
10:13
And I think he brings up a really good point.
10:15
He says, Central Bank, digital currencies is gets rid of the
10:17
middleman from person to Fed as this.
10:20
They don't have to deal with smaller Banks and that's very
10:22
true. What a lot of people don't talk
10:24
about what Central Bank digital currencies is that they would
10:26
absolutely destroy retail Banks, right?
10:29
So Bank of America, Wells, Fargo City Bank, a central bank,
10:33
digital currency would make it so that the citizen would have a
10:36
direct Account with the Federal Reserve itself.
10:39
Meaning the citizen would have a direct money account with the
10:43
government. How freaking scary is that man?
10:46
Anyways, anyways, this is what we're fighting against this is
10:50
what we say. And we don't over exaggerate.
10:51
When we say it, it's either Bitcoin and freedom or Central
10:55
Bank, digital currency slavery. That's the future that we're
10:59
heading to. But anyways, Opti, let's get to
11:01
the news. Daily News brought to you by

11:09

Anyways, this is Rob Stevens, that's him.
11:38
Shout out to our friends at Bitcoin magazine for the awesome
11:41
articles like always Russ Stevens.
11:44
Everyone is the guy when Michael sailor did a presentation,
11:48
right? When he was feeling most bullish
11:50
and he was stacking. It was the middle of the bull
11:52
market. He did a presentation called it
11:55
was basically Bitcoin for institutions and Ross.
11:58
Stevens was the person that made the pitch.
12:01
He was the the front line for the Bitcoin for institutions.
12:07
And this is New York digital Investment Group also known as
12:09
NY dig and they're responsible for not Only advocating for
12:14
Bitcoin as an alternative to Fiat, but also pushing Bitcoin
12:18
for institutions, right? And check out what he announced
12:22
over the weekend at a bit block. Boom, satellite event at
12:25
Bitcoin, Commons in Austin Texas.
12:28
He launched a light Network accelerator project.
12:32
I love the name in Wolf's clothing and we're going to talk
12:34
a little bit about that name because I know opt he's all
12:36
about the spiritual stuff like that.
12:39
I wonder what that name could mean I'm going to obviously give
12:41
my perspective Abdi of his Is anyways, article goes on to say
12:44
Ross Stevens CEO of Stoneridge Holdings, Group, and executive
12:48
director of New York digital Investment Group subsidiary,
12:51
made an impromptu appearance at B Block.
12:53
Boom in Austin, Texas for a special announcement
12:56
participation and the microstrategy corporate strategy
12:59
program, an interview with the famous Bitcoin, proponent
13:01
microcellular, he goes on to say, quote, I want to live in a
13:05
world of rules, not governed by rulers of the, basically,
13:09
mirroring with bitcoiners always, say, write rules without
13:11
rulers. From the Bitcoin, Commons
13:14
Stephen shared that NY dig will launch a lightning accelerator
13:17
project. The reality is that this year,
13:19
the progress in Bitcoin and lightning is staggering month
13:22
after month after month. The nodes on Lightning are
13:25
growing. This is true.
13:26
We've gone over the glass note, hope IAM data many times with
13:29
you guys. The accelerator is geared
13:31
towards individual Founders and small teams develop developers
13:35
working on Lightning Taro covenants And precede seed
13:39
series a company's transportation and lodging will
13:41
be provided for serpents from anywhere around the world.
13:45
The the program will be run in eight week cohorts.
13:49
This there will be 8 to 20 miles per cohorts world-class mentors
13:53
with office hours. The cohorts will be exclusively,
13:56
non remote. There will be significant seed
13:59
capital for each team with already recruited investors and
14:02
full-time. In-house expertise people who
14:05
are interested can apply at apply.
14:08
I add wolf NYC dr. Stevens closes speech with we're
14:13
I mean for you Fiat let's work tirelessly to make Finance to
14:16
centralize let's work tirelessly to make money to centralize or
14:21
how we would say it simply Bitcoin.
14:23
Let's work tirelessly to separate money from State.
14:27
Anyways, look piece of signal here.
14:31
The fact that he's willing to do this in the depths of the bear
14:35
market after Bitcoin fell 70%, plus is a really good sign.
14:39
The fact that lightning Network continues to grow even after
14:44
Bitcoin fell 70%. Plus, it's exactly why we don't
14:47
do price speculation on this show because it's missing out on
14:51
what is actually the signal, the signal.
14:53
Is that the honey badger isn't stopping zoom out and look at
14:57
what's happening, right? BlackRock just announced in the
15:00
last couple weeks, I suspect they waited till the bear
15:02
Market. They just announced That they're
15:05
getting into Bitcoin. Black Rock has nine point five
15:08
trillion dollars under assets. Intel announced that they're
15:11
making a Bitcoin mining chip Samsung announced that they're
15:14
making a Bitcoin mining chip Samsung announced that they're
15:17
selling Bitcoin. They want to launch a Bitcoin
15:19
exchange in Korea and South Korea.
15:23
Bro. The stars are aligning.
15:26
You won't recognize the Bitcoin World in five years time and
15:30
here it is. Pushing more Bitcoin.
15:34
Ation if you're an entrepreneur, if you have an idea for
15:37
lightning, now you have someone that could potentially fund your
15:40
idea. If you don't have the expertise
15:42
at putting a company together. Now you have a resource for you
15:48
and I think the signal there is the name of which he named this
15:51
right in Wolf's clothing. I think it's very apparent.
15:58
I don't think Bitcoin needs to hide.
16:00
I think it could just show everyone to the world exactly
16:03
what it is and connect this with the Central Bank, digital
16:07
currencies. And this is why they're trying
16:09
to scramble. This is why governments are
16:10
trying to scramble in order to remain relevant because they get
16:13
a tremendous amount of power from being the Monopoly, on the
16:18
creation of money, that was until Bitcoin.
16:21
Holy crap, I've never been so bullish, but they're not going
16:26
to go gently into that good night.
16:28
They're going to try to fight it.
16:31
But I know what, I know with you guys.
16:34
I know this is the with the solidarity that we all share
16:37
with the with the goal with the end goal that we all want
16:40
separation of money and state, we're not only going to win
16:43
this, we're going to motherfucking conquer.
16:45
Anyways Opti, what are your thoughts, brother?
16:49
First and foremost on the name? I hey, you know, I'm just
16:56
reminded of the saying, like a sheep in Wolf's clothing and at
16:59
what does that mean? What does that mean?
17:01
I mean, it looks like we are, you know, we're just like very,
17:07
very docile, you know, like but we're, you know, we're not doing
17:10
anything over here guys. It's not that big of a deal.
17:13
But yo, it's like we are out here dominating and taking over
17:16
the world like I agree after this weekend and bit block.
17:20
Boom, it really does feel like bitcoiners are just out here,
17:26
dominating completely, and 100%. And it's like, you said, men,
17:31
it's first and foremost, like, wow, you know, Mega funding of
17:33
lightning and and having that push of of like guys, like
17:38
lightning is going to explode but, you know, people are still
17:42
saying that lightning is vaporware, is too clunky, it's
17:45
too hard. You know, it's never going to
17:46
work. And then you see stuff like
17:48
this, where it's like, okay people need to zoom out.
17:53
Humans will innovate and we just continue to stay winning you
17:57
like big Corner. Stay winning big Corners build
17:59
in the bear markets. Now we have mega corporations
18:03
that are bitcoiners are are not even Mega corporations, you
18:06
know, Big Time Players, movers and shakers that are doubling
18:10
down on bitcoin that are doubling down on lightning and
18:13
it's just so bullish to be on the front lines with you guys.
18:16
It just it makes me super excited after this weekend to
18:20
just see everything that is happening in Bitcoin.
18:22
I hope you guys caught some of the presentations at other than
18:26
the stuff had bit block. Boom because it's just back to a
18:29
narrative that I've been saying. Along on the show a lot on the
18:33
show. Bitcoin is crossed the
18:34
mainstream Rubicon. We've been saying it a lot, you
18:37
know. What's the mean first, they
18:39
ignore you. And then they mock you and then
18:41
they fight you. Well, we are definitely in the
18:44
then they fight you stage, but what does that also mean that,
18:47
if you flip go on the flip side, people are doubling down and
18:51
they see what we see. Like, we say it all the time,
18:54
you can't stop the signal. And so people's incentives are
18:59
becoming aligned with Bitcoin. Has Bitcoin will eat the world.
19:02
Technology does eat the world and furthermore Bitcoin isn't it
19:07
a technology on top of the internet?
19:09
Which is already eating the world.
19:11
So it's just it's amazing what Bitcoin has been able to do in
19:16
13 years and furthermore it's amazing to see what lightning
19:19
has been able to do and what 45 years or something.
19:22
So it's still relatively new and it's just absolutely kicking ass
19:26
out there but look People talk shit all the time about me.
19:31
Always saying bullish on the show because I just, I get so
19:34
excited on this show every time we cover stuff.
19:36
So if I put my tinfoil hat on, you know, maybe I'll ask the
19:40
people or maybe Nico has a view on.
19:42
This is like, is this a narrative spin?
19:45
Or people are going to start to say that the?
19:47
Oh, this is the co-opting of lightning, you know?
19:50
Like this is this is like you know, the powers that be
19:54
creating a shit coin on top of lightning or whatever like you
19:57
hear that talk on. Internet and on Twitter and it's
19:59
like, I don't think so. But I see where people are
20:03
coming from, is because pick owners.
20:05
So paranoid, like everything makes us paranoid and we're
20:10
always thinking adversarially and we're always thinking of how
20:12
this can can be a bad thing that we kind of forget.
20:17
Like, you know, this is fucking amazing, you know, you now you
20:20
have fun like you were saying, if your lightning developer you
20:23
have an idea for lightning or a product that you don't know how
20:27
to make. It happen completely.
20:29
Now you have someone that is willing to put their money,
20:32
where their mouth is in Bat, great ideas that are being built
20:35
on lightning and this is just further proof that bit Corners,
20:39
breed entrepreneurs. And if you are really a bit
20:43
Corner, then you should be trying to create the products
20:46
that you want to see. And now we have people that are
20:49
willing to help people create those products.
20:51
And I'm just so excited. And you said it yourself right
20:54
now, there was that clip you did over this weekend about, I
20:57
think, Would be TC sessions. And you said something on the
21:00
lines of like, we will not recognize what Bitcoin is in 5
21:03
years. In 10 years, it's just going to
21:05
be so different than what it is now at the, you know, like right
21:09
now, we still have relatively small Market, guys.
21:11
Like, there's not that many bitcoiners go out into the real
21:14
world and talk about talk about Bitcoin to people and they're
21:16
still sitting there like shut up.
21:18
Like I don't care about Bitcoin like don't talk to me about
21:21
Bitcoin but this is why we show up every single day and I have
21:24
had a really cool conversation with Pete Rizzo at B Block.
21:28
Boom. And I just told him like, yo, I
21:30
love that article, you just wrote Because I've been saying
21:33
the same thing of like, spread the good word about Bitcoin.
21:36
Push the positive narrative narratives about Bitcoin because
21:39
the world needs to know that there is a solution to the
21:42
problems that they're experiencing in their life and
21:44
that is Bitcoin. And here we are, you can't stop
21:48
the signal more people are doing what US average bitcoiners are
21:51
doing pushing Bitcoin adoption, doing whatever they can to go
21:56
100% full time. Into Bitcoin and you know fix
22:00
the world, fix the money, fix the world and help Humanity free
22:03
itself so that we can create a fucking better world.
22:08
Amen. Planet Earth.
22:09
Amazing, amazing, amazing amazing.
22:11
Anyways, Speaking of the powers that be are going to go gently
22:16
into that good night we covered this when this happened, right?
22:19
And just kind of doubling back to this.
22:21
This was August 21st is as last year's 2021 is an article by
22:27
Mackenzie Seagal us and we covered this, right?
22:30
We said when the United States pulled out of Afghanistan they
22:34
shut off Afghanistan from the Global Financial system.
22:37
And the only thing that still worked for Afghan he's was
22:41
Bitcoin, right? So just to read the headline for
22:46
audio listener, says, inside Afghanistan's.
22:48
Cryptocurrency underground as the country plunges into
22:51
turmoil, turmoil. Just going to read a quick quote
22:53
and then going to get into the breaking news and Afghanistan.
22:56
We don't have platforms like PayPal venmo lures L member
22:59
guys, connect the dots. Remember what Neil the the
23:04
person that worked at the Federal Reserve said right about
23:09
United States has developed Financial rails off Gana Stan.
23:13
Obviously doesn't says Afghanistan still mostly
23:16
operates as a cash economy. So money and ho tax crypto
23:19
wallet won't help him put dinner on his table, however, but it
23:23
does give him peace of mind that some of his wealth is
23:25
safeguarded against economic instability at home.
23:30
Now this article came out today is by Bloomberg.
23:34
The headline of the article says Taliban band crypto in
23:38
Afghanistan, arrest, dealers of tokens Afghan Central Bank and
23:43
Closed a nationwide ban on cryptocurrencies this month and
23:46
the Taliban regime has arrested several dealers who defied
23:50
orders to stop trading digital tokens according to a senior
23:53
police police official, the Crackdown comes after some
23:57
Afghans turned to cryptocurrencies to preserve
24:00
their wealth and keep it out of the talibans reach crypto has
24:04
become a popular way of moving money in and out of the country
24:07
which is shut off from the global banking system due to
24:10
sanctions leveled on the militant group.
24:13
The Central Bank think about how fucked up this is, right?
24:17
And this is what we always talk about.
24:18
How Bitcoin moves, the Baton only Bitcoin, by the way, crypto
24:23
provides a false sense of sovereignty that will continue
24:26
to be exposed. As the years goes on the, we
24:31
last week. When the treasury sanctioned,
24:33
the Privacy tool, tornado cash, and it was exposed, and everyone
24:37
came to the realization that holy crap.
24:39
The US Government Can potentially sanction aetherium
24:42
because etherium Is run by Jeff Bezos controlled by the US
24:46
government. So crypto provide provides a
24:48
false sense of financial sovereignty.
24:50
Only Bitcoin provides that full Financial sovereignty because it
24:55
emphasizes on decentralization. Anyways, think about how fuck
24:59
this is before. Bitcoin.
25:02
The people of Afghanistan were being screwed by two sides by
25:06
the US government placing sanctions on Afghanistan and by
25:10
the Afghanistan government itself, Now, came Bitcoin and
25:16
for the first time, an individual in Afghanistan could
25:20
transact with another individual overseas without the need to
25:25
deal with the US government. And all the, the the financial
25:29
system that it's captured and without dealing with death, can
25:33
ease, The Afghani government, that happens to be the Taliban.
25:37
And of course, we always say Bitcoin is the money of enemies.
25:41
Bitcoin gives individuals, Freedom, they never which had.
25:44
So now you have The Afghani government freaking out and
25:48
saying, holy crap. We can't control people as much
25:51
as we'd like, Because of Bitcoin and you have the US government
25:58
specifically, the US Treasury which Cynthia, lummis claim
26:02
cleared up this weekend at B Block.
26:04
Boom, taking a very similar stance.
26:06
We can't have individuals have this much freedom.
26:13
Dude, that story in Afghanistan gave me chills because it was
26:17
obvious that it was coming. When a government bans Bitcoin
26:22
it's out of self-preservation, it is of no benefit to its
26:27
citizens. And again highlighting the
26:32
failed policy of us sanctions which will be an excuse of which
26:36
they will attack Bitcoin in the future.
26:40
I thought sanctions Were Meant to, you know what, they always
26:44
pitch us off regime change. Obviously that hasn't worked in
26:48
North Korea. That didn't work in Venezuela.
26:50
That didn't work in Cuba and who are the real victim of these
26:53
sanctions, the people of those countries and that was
26:57
highlighted and Afghanistan. When people got cut off from the
27:02
financial system and now there is Bitcoin and Bitcoin gave him
27:06
that hope but of course, now The Afghani government itself, said,
27:09
no, you can't have that either. We want Total power and control.
27:13
And by the way Central Bank, digital currencies are literally
27:18
a worst nightmare. They will be able to turn your
27:22
account and a flip of a switch that will be a wet dream for the
27:25
Chinese that what they're what they're already implemented.
27:27
That would be a wet dream for the Taliban in Afghanistan.
27:30
The only thing that is standing that gives individuals to
27:34
freedom to transact the freedom to vote with their feet, pick up
27:37
everything they own and just leave is Bitcoin, of course,
27:41
they're going to, you know, say crypto provides that as well.
27:44
Crypto provides a false sense of financial sovereignty.
27:48
And I think people are going to learn that as time progresses If
27:51
you're in stable coins, if you were in Luna, or if you and Dee
27:54
USD, see, if you're in tether you can and will have your shit.
27:58
Frozen Bitcoin is the only thing that is immune to the fucking
28:04
Fiat politics. That is happening.
28:06
Anyways dude, this is crazy. So Afghanistan, followed the
28:11
path of China. They're trying to strong-arm,
28:14
their citizens to use a currency of which the government's can
28:17
control. And I think this really
28:19
highlights the Ruiz from The Sovereign individuals.
28:22
Its Bitcoin is exposing the real incentives of governments
28:28
governments are being shown to self preserve themselves, rather
28:33
than serve the citizens, they're supposed to protect.
28:36
It's becoming incredibly obvious that some people in the US
28:40
government believe that the government is by the government
28:44
for the government rather than the government being by the
28:46
people for the people. Bitcoin.
28:49
Exposes everyone's incentives. And here it is doing again.
28:54
The Taliban ban, Bitcoin, Afghanistan.
28:58
Good luck. Like, in China.
29:00
I don't think it will work anyways, Opti, what are your
29:02
thoughts? Go off?
29:03
King go off. I mean my first thought is just
29:07
is it's a simple mean, you know like trust me citizen.
29:10
This is for your own good. Like we're going to protect you
29:13
from the Bitcoin price volatility.
29:14
There were going to protect you from speculation.
29:16
It's like low, of course. This is the narrative is it's
29:20
just it's such a simple narrative and I'm just reminded
29:24
of Christine lagarde's quote of if there's an exit door, people
29:27
will use it. These people understand that
29:29
Bitcoin is the exit door. They're going to have to clamp
29:32
down on this. And I really like this comment
29:34
that level 99 slacker put in the chat and you guys judge
29:37
something by its enemies. China banned Bitcoin, the
29:39
Taliban Banning Bitcoin and central banks around the world
29:42
want to ban it like it again. It feels so good to be a bit
29:48
corner. We just stay winning.
29:49
It's like okay, come at me, Bitcoin can't be stopped.
29:53
It has what we right now is like a little under half a trillion
29:58
dollar bounty on bitcoin and all these people can really do is
30:01
spin a PR Narrative of like oh you know orange coin bad.
30:04
Like we already have the meme guys orange coin bad and and
30:08
what we just stay winning like Bitcoin, just continues to get
30:11
adopted biblical, you know more people are out there, stacking
30:15
more businesses are trying to build on bitcoin.
30:17
There's more UPS on bitcoin. It's like I said, I said a
30:22
minute ago Bitcoin has crossed the mainstream Rubicon and they
30:26
can't they can't stop it. They and you know like let's go.
30:30
I say it all the time you know like you can't ban Bitcoin, you
30:33
can only ban yourself from Bitcoin.
30:35
So I love seeing stuff like this because we just, we're so close
30:40
to the news. Now, that every time you see
30:43
something like this, I always have a silver lining.
30:45
You know, like it's Optimus field for a reason.
30:46
I just stay optimistic on stuff. Like this is like, yeah.
30:50
Okay. Of course, you know, like some
30:53
Tyrant out there. Some authoritarian figure is
30:55
trying to stop Bitcoin and trying to free or stop people
30:59
from becoming free in their transactions.
31:02
It's like this is why we Bitcoin, this is good for
31:06
Bitcoin, it will just proved once again, you can't ban
31:09
Bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from Bitcoin and any
31:12
government out there that is going to try to ban Bitcoin, it
31:15
just proves our point for us, your government, Doesn't care
31:19
about you. The state fucking hates you.
31:22
They do not want you free. They want you tagged and bagged
31:25
like they don't want you healthy.
31:27
So like just the heuristic, I like do the opposite of what the
31:31
government tells. You don't break any laws but
31:33
like do the opposite of what they tell you and you're gonna
31:36
be healthy, you're going to be free.
31:38
You're going to live a good life like it's very it's a very
31:41
simple simple. Heuristic Fiat has corrupted the
31:45
incentive so bad that unfortunately what?
31:48
You're saying is true, right? Like it and the last two year,
31:52
two or three years. It's become incredibly obvious
31:55
that they don't have their, your best intentions at heart.
31:58
They have their, they're incentivized to protect
32:01
themselves, to help themselves. And why is that dude, they don't
32:04
need you, they don't need your approval, they have an unlimited
32:08
money. Printer, that pays for any crazy
32:11
idea that they come up with and you that are forced to earn in
32:15
that said currency, right? Forced to go along with it while
32:20
they extract wealth from you to pay for themselves and Bitcoin
32:25
is a silent protest. It's the peaceful Revolution and
32:28
saying, yo I'm sick and tired of being stolen from.
32:32
I don't want to do this anymore, and in the process of existing,
32:36
of the process of it, doing that, all of these governments,
32:41
whether it's the Taliban, whether it's the US government,
32:44
whether it's the EU, whether it's China, right?
32:47
At least trying to do. Don't hide its true intentions.
32:50
At least they're just like, you know, like you know what, like
32:52
fuck this. The Taliban is like, you know
32:54
what? Fuck this, you know, the US
32:56
government. You are kind of going in this
32:58
like, it's to protect you, man. No, no, it's to protect their
33:03
ability to create money out of thin air at your expense.
33:07
And that's what Bitcoin is a protest against.
33:10
That's why we will win because the incentives are much stronger
33:14
than their coercion and I'm really looking forward for them
33:17
to expose them. Elves more and more, and more,
33:21
and more to the point and the sovereign individual also
33:24
predicted this, they're going to continue to get more and more
33:28
and more desperate and you're going to see things out of your
33:30
governments that you would have never ever thought.
33:33
Thought imaginable ten years ago.
33:35
I mean they did just hire 87,000 IRS agents in the u.s. even
33:41
though and they named the bill literally inflation reduction
33:45
act crazy times, take your Bitcoin into self custody D.
33:49
It is a hell of a roller coaster ride where we go.
33:51
Before we go, you reminded me of that stat that you said last
33:54
week, about the fact that the u.s. government is the biggest
33:58
employer in the world. It's like we live in a world of
34:02
bureaucrats pushing papers and telling, hard-working
34:05
individuals what to do. It's just like the strongman
34:08
meme, you know like weak man? Create strong men.
34:11
This is where we're at guys like the the paper pusher.
34:16
Yes exactly like that that you know, the paper pushers out Are
34:19
telling people what to do and and it's just like the Fiat blow
34:23
is getting to such a point where it's the bubble is going to pop.
34:26
And and you know, hopefully you have some hard skills and you
34:30
have, you know, you have your Bitcoin, you have your Bitcoin
34:32
in cold storage and you can provide the value and get the
34:37
Bitcoin like guys, serve your fellow man, provide the value,
34:40
use your skills to build something.
34:43
Stop being a paper pusher because the paper pushers are
34:47
trying to Incentivize a world where the paper pushers, get
34:51
more of the pie and it's like, bro, they are stealing from you
34:55
and they aren't even hiding it anymore and then they're telling
34:58
you with a straight face to like this is for your protection
35:01
citizen. It's insane.
35:04
It's absolutely insane, clown, World confirm.
35:07
But if you're watching this, you're ahead of the curve, you
35:10
know, bit Corner, stay winning. It's it's so beautiful.
35:13
But only if you take Bitcoin into self custody and ideally
35:16
you should be running your own note because if not your
35:18
Something someone else has. But anyways Opti let's get to
35:22
the culture, bro. Daily culture brought to you by
35:28
Swan Bitcoin.com. Swan is the best way to build
35:31

35:43
and they also incentivize dollar cost.
35:46
Averaging spread out that risk, visit Swan Bitcoin.com today,
35:52
Before I get to the culture, I want to give a shout-out to the
35:55
largest Bitcoin conference on the west coast November 10th
35:58
through the 11th and sunny. Sunny Los Angeles.
36:01
California speaker list includes core eclipse in Alex Epstein.
36:05
Dylan declared Jeff Booth. Eric koston Mark Moss.
36:09
Alex gladstein dr. Jeff Ross and Nico.
36:11
That's right, I'm there. Anyways, you can take advantage
36:14
of the promo code down below to get 10% off your tickets to
36:18
Pacific Bitcoin. Anyways, Opti, what do you have
36:21
for us today, brother? Before I get into my segment
36:23
today. How's that photo of Nico?
36:26
He's looking kind of wild, bro. That hair that I have.
36:29
You looking wild dog. But yes, okay, I absolutely love
36:33
that, that we had the Pacific Bitcoin, you know, add right
36:36
before this. Because like, like I said in the
36:39
spaces and I said in the beginning of the show, guys, I
36:42
just came back from bit block. Boom, and I had an absolute
36:45
great time and so I want I want to help push this Narrative of
36:50
guys. You should be going.
36:52
Ooh, these Bitcoin only conferences it again, it's not
36:55
necessarily about what is being said on the stage because you
37:00
could always watch these presentations after the fact,
37:03
the reason you go to these conferences and you can see, you
37:06
know, there's a lot of cool speakers.
37:07
Like the thing about these guys is when you're at these
37:11
conferences they're just regular people guys.
37:14
Like they are so open and willing for you to come up a
37:18
conversation with them, you know, give them.
37:21
Give them some Some you know, give them some love, giving them
37:24
the dabs and they're there for the most part.
37:27
Awesome people. And again the reason you come to
37:31
these conferences is because look I am full-time Bitcoin now.
37:37
But I understand that a lot of you out there are still have one
37:40
foot in the Fiat world and one foot in the Bitcoin world.
37:42
And at times as we tell you guys all the time, you feel like you
37:47
are crazy. You feel like how do other
37:50
people not? See what I see?
37:52
And then you come to a conference and you know
37:55
sometimes it's only one so you once a year maybe twice a year
37:58
maybe three times a year. If you're really lucky and you
38:01
realize like wow there is more people out there like me there
38:05
is more solid bitcoiners that are putting in the work that
38:09
that see the world. Like I see that are completely
38:12
asleep and it's refreshing guys. Like it is so inspiring to be
38:19
around a room full of Just the best smartest brightest,
38:24
funniest people in the world and you just hang out.
38:27
And you have beers, you eat you eat dinner, you know, you chill
38:30
by the pool, you do Lobby calling you do pool Khan, and
38:34
this is why you go to. This stuff is like me and Nico.
38:37
For instance, we went to B Block, boom, two years ago, or
38:40
maybe three years ago now, it was 2020 or three conferences
38:45
ago and we didn't know each other.
38:48
We were hanging out in Discord. We've been on Twitter for four
38:52
years, you know, going back and forth and we, you know, we had
38:56
our friends her for Jim. Basically show the conference to
38:59
us, he's like, yo, guys, like you need to go to this
39:01
conference. Like this is exactly where you
39:03
need to go. And this year, I was kind of, I
39:05
was kind of like poking fun at Nico.
39:07
He's like, bro, you need to go like Network.
39:09
I'm like, I'm not a networker bro, like I just hang out with
39:11
my friend but he was right. Like this year, is the first
39:15
time I worked the conference as like a professional Bitcoin as a
39:18
corporate bit corner, you know, and it was absolutely Best time
39:23
of my life. Not only did we get like a
39:24
really awesome house with a bunch of my Bitcoin Twitter
39:27
friend and we just had the best time together just chillin when
39:33
I was at the conference working, it was the most fun time ever.
39:37
I was just having the best time on Spaces.
39:40
I was grabbing every person, every Bitcoin her.
39:43
I could, I could, you know that I recognize and just bringing
39:47
them in and just having the time of my life like yo it was it's
39:51
almost like A dream. It's almost surreal to be
39:54
hanging out with all these people.
39:55
Rubbing shoulders with the with these people and realizing,
39:57
they're just like you, they're just humans that have put in the
40:00
work that our big Corners that understand what is going on and
40:05
there was a point. I hope you guys watch the
40:07
presentations. Like I absolutely love the Jimmy
40:10
song presentation. I missed the Jack mahler's
40:12
presentation but apparently it was fire and the thing and then
40:16
I'm going to reference the little speaking moment that
40:20
Surfer. Jim went up.
40:22
And talked about, he's like, look guys, when you're at these
40:25
conferences, just say hello to someone right next to you.
40:29
You may not know who he is. He may, he may just be an
40:32
average bit corner. But if you just say hello to the
40:35
guy next to, you never know who you're sitting next to you, you
40:38
have no clue what they do in their life.
40:40
And it reminds me of what gasps said in her little tidbit is
40:43
like, look, you come to these conferences, you're probably
40:46
tired of your Fiat. Life, your Fiat job and you're
40:49
like how can I escape the rat race?
40:51
How can I find a way? Way to do the things that I'm
40:54
here to do on planet Earth and you just talk to someone right
40:57
next to you and you're like yo, like what do you do?
40:59
Oh wow, that's cool. Like I have these skills.
41:03
Does your company need this kind of person there you know?
41:05
And you you just you'd be pleasantly surprised at who
41:10
you're hanging out with and what they need and again, like I say
41:14
it all the time, provide the value and you will get the
41:16
Bitcoin. So you can want to go to these
41:19
conferences. Because first and foremost, Are
41:22
absolutely the funniest things ever.
41:24
Like hey, I this may not be the best, you know the best she'll
41:29
but like you don't even need to go to the conference just be
41:31
around the conference and it's going to be worth your time
41:35
guys. I know as a bit corner, you know
41:37
in toxic bit corner, like don't scam yourself out of your future
41:41
wealth, like don't spend your sets, but I fundamentally think
41:45
that spending your SATs to go to this stuff is flow is more worth
41:49
it than the SATs that you're trying to hold on.
41:52
To like this is an experience that is worth the SATs that you
41:55
want to go to the stuff because like not only are you going to
41:59
be hanging out with the movers and shakers of Bitcoin and you
42:02
can potentially get a job or whatever if you want to network
42:04
at the event by all means you can do that.
42:07
But what I love to do it, I just go to these.
42:10
I have a great time with my friends.
42:12
And before I am full-time Bitcoin, like people people most
42:17
people know now, I live with bitcoiners.
42:18
So I do this every single day like this is The feeling you get
42:23
at a Bitcoin conference is the feeling that I have every single
42:27
day of my life. So you guys out there that are
42:30
still in the Fiat world, you want to go to these Bitcoin
42:32
conferences because one it's going to revitalize your hope in
42:36
humanity. It's like, oh my God, like, my
42:38
life can be like this all day every day, if I put in the work
42:43
and now like me and my roommate were joking is like, well, you
42:46
know, everyone's gonna, you know, everyone left the
42:48
conference and they went home and Like our conference
42:53
continued. Like our Vibe is still the same
42:56
thing as all day every day and I just want to show this, you
43:00
know, this is just me, plugging myself for a moment.
43:03
But look, I look at these. Like awesome photos.
43:06
I have here P from Bitcoin Magazine, with, I'm sitting
43:09
there with Matt Adele like I, you know, I had, I had a moment
43:12
where I brought in Stephane, lovera and a case on right next
43:15
to me, and I was just like mine blow, like, what is going on?
43:18
You know, I had the crypto couple right there.
43:20
I had not bring. Now, I was just like, I was
43:22
trolling everyone in real time and but like, giving you guys an
43:26
awesome experience, you know, I sat with TC meditation, man, and
43:30
Aussie and other shit posters and meemers and bitcoiners that
43:34
that I just hang out with, on the internet and just to feel
43:37
the love in real time. It was absolutely amazing.
43:40
Look at this, this photo from TC.
43:42
It's like, look, Ma, I'm an influencer.
43:44
Like, look at me, I look awesome.
43:46
Like, what is going on? Like is this real life?
43:49
My camera came off. Wow, Nico.
43:52
Amazing amazing. But guys you want to go to this
43:56
stuff. This is why you do it.
44:00
I hope, I hope you guys go to the conference because you need
44:05
to experience this stuff in real time.
44:08
I say it all the time, the verified Bitcoin Network that
44:12
you are building on Twitter, needs to extend into real life.
44:16
You need to continue to build these connections and and
44:20
literally build with them guys. Like hashtag, I am building
44:25
hashtag. It's a great time hashtag.
44:28
Make sure you go to a Bitcoin conference and, you know, just
44:32
plug Gary and and the bit block. Boom.
44:34
We had a great time. I'm hoping that we're going to
44:39
be back there next year with Nico there in the flesh because
44:42
it'll be so much more fun when it's both of us there, dude.
44:45
Like oh yeah, it was such a great time.
44:47
Again, you need to make it to these conferences.
44:50
There. They're absolutely the best time
44:52
in the world and, you know, spend your sets for a good time.
44:55
Spend your stats for a good purpose, do not just hold your
44:58
SATs forever. I am not telling you to dump
45:00
your cold storage. I'm just saying, you know, this
45:03
is your life in. Enjoy it a little bit, smell the
45:06
roses, the money that you're saving is supposed to be spent
45:10
for good causes so that you can live the life that you want to
45:13
live. And I think that going to this
45:15
stuff is more than worth it. And and the effects and the
45:18
ripples that come out of this stuff, it lasts a lifetime, man.
45:22
Like, I'm building the where I'm living and who I live with.
45:25
Like it's because I went to these conferences, and because
45:28
we realized like, oh my God, like, we're fucking awesome,
45:31
man, like, and we're going to continue to spread that energy.
45:34
In and day out. And if you're still in the
45:37
field, guys, like come to these experiences so that you can feel
45:42
the Vibes and you can continue to push this, this energy back
45:46
in your normal life. When the Fiat world is trying to
45:48
Pummel you and grind you to the ground.
45:50
Stay strong. Stay positive.
45:53
We are winning and this just further proves my point that we
45:56
are winning when you hang out with people just like you and
45:58
everyone is just so convicted and just so like let's go you
46:03
know it's it's so awesome. Maybe Koran it is.
46:06
It is so it is so, you know it really what Bitcoin conferences
46:10
are. It's dude, their freedom
46:14
conferences. Like if V is the freedom Vibes
46:16
that you get there, like, Jimmy song was like, dude, we need to
46:20
make truth great again, I tweeted that out like three
46:23
weeks ago, you know total coincidence, right?
46:25
But it's that, that you're on the same mindset.
46:28
And the problem is that when you chill with, you know, your Fiat
46:32
friends, people that haven't taken the Bill yet.
46:35
They don't see what you see. There's still being strung along
46:39
right? Either by money, either by the
46:41
media, when you chill with the group of 100, 200 300
46:47
bitcoiners, dude, they're in sync with you.
46:50
They might not have all your likes, all your taste, but you
46:54
could tell that you see the world.
46:56
The way that these people see the world and its really a fresh
46:59
of breath air, right? So I don't mean to cut you off,
47:03
but people are Concerned about the optic aspects of this stuff.
47:07
Look you can be like you can wear Master if you want like, if
47:11
you're, if you're proud, if you're concerned with privacy,
47:13
you know, I get it, there is a trade-off here.
47:16
You know, you can experience a human aspect behind bitcoiners,
47:20
but I say it all the time. Be proud to be a big Corner.
47:22
Look like I wore a mask for the first whatever.
47:25
Like three months of being on this show and now it's like I
47:29
think doxing has been the best experience of my life.
47:32
Not telling everyone to Doc's. You, we need or not.
47:34
Corners, but also, we need public facing bit Corners
47:38
because everyone will be a Bitcoin.
47:40
ER, yeah. And that just, it is what it is.
47:42
Protect yourself, be smart, but man, you should come to this
47:46
stuff. It's absolutely the best time
47:48
ever 100%. And yeah man, it's it's if
47:52
you're looking for a job if you're looking for you know to
47:55
get to know the people that you see all the time and you know
47:59
and I'm sure you consume Bitcoin media, you will get to meet them
48:02
in the flesh in person you'll be able Able to strike a
48:05
conversation with them. Bitcoiners are some of the
48:07
nicest people on the face of the planet.
48:10
Don't believe the toxic labels, the toxic labels are there
48:13
because shit Corners don't like being exposed so rather than you
48:17
know acknowledging what you're saying and debating what you're
48:22
saying they just try to censor you with names, right?
48:25
So ignore that, like I said go to one.
48:27
If you can the bit block, boom. One was just recently, Pacific
48:31
Bitcoins coming up also. Bitcoin mag is throwing one.
48:35
In in Amsterdam, I'm sure they're going to throw another
48:38
one back in Miami as well. So yeah, you definitely want to
48:41
go to try to want to try to go to the one of these conferences.
48:44
Each one has a totally different vibe, right?
48:48
So yeah, man. Whoops, anyways Opti it's a
48:52
favorite part of the show, bro. It's the part of the show that
48:55
everybody's been waiting for. It's me review time.
49:00
Daily meme, review brought to you by Citadel 21.
49:03
It's the best Bitcoin cult Rosine, it's stories articles
49:07
Comics by actual bitcoiners. This is the artwork for volume
49:10
11, is artwork for volume 10 and this is the artwork for volume
49:14
2. Volume 2 is almost sold out
49:16
because there's only 1000 physical copies made per volume.
49:19
So get your prints of Citadel 21 today before they run out.
49:24
All right Opti? All right.
49:26
Well of course, of course, we are here for Memes guys and you
49:32
already know what your score. I know.
49:35
I know I know I'm doing it right now.
49:36
Put your main review score. I kind of thought that there was
49:40
another ad there that, but anyway, I I'm still my brain
49:43
isn't fully back. I had way too much fun, my
49:45
dopamine levels and serotonin levels were off the charts.
49:48
So I need to come back to normal life but put your main review,
49:52
score in the chat guys, before the last meme, so that we can,
49:57
you know, read them on this on this.
50:00
The show and Nico. I still don't have the the memes
50:04
are artillery in the information world?
50:07
Yeah, I got you. I got you.
50:07
I got you. We need this.
50:09
I'll get. I said I got you.
50:10
I got you. All right so memes are important
50:13
because tweets tweets are bullets but memes are artillery.
50:17
And this narrative trench warfare that were fighting
50:19
hand-to-hand on the battleground of the internet against Central
50:23
bankers and governments. All right guys.
50:28
So the first one I love this one considering that I just got back
50:34
from bit block, boom. And in my opinion, all the
50:36
people there are fucking rock stars.
50:38
Like they are the coolest people, the smartest people, the
50:40
funniest people. And it's just, it's such a good
50:43
vibe. And so this one's by at Maxi
50:45
Club he goes 133, top one and it got a Bitcoin killed, the Fiat
50:49
Star as like a Pepe, the frog in his robe with a Bitcoin cone.
50:52
He's just strobing out having a good time.
50:55
I love this name. Is it good vibe?
50:57
This next one, I'll guess a little more controversial, this
51:00
by a beauty on. He goes KY caml hashtag Bitcoin
51:04
and it's a guy in a box with eyeballs everywhere.
51:07
Roof deep. There's a central bank, digital
51:10
currencies right there, bro. That's trust what, they are,
51:13
true. Also also, okay, next one,
51:17
following the last meme, I thought these two together
51:20
complimented themselves really well.
51:22
And this one's by my friend run, the banks or at empty underscore
51:25
Banks and it's Braveheart, know Mel, Gibson in Brave, heart with
51:29
blood on. Is and he goes that moment.
51:31
You realize not, everyone wants freedom and this is something we
51:34
say all the time on this show, you know, people are willing to
51:38
exchange their their freedom for safety.
51:42
And if you do that, you're going to get red guys.
51:45
What's Nico? Say all the time freedom is
51:48
uncomfortable. Freedom is risky.
51:51
The the utopian world that these these Psychopaths want for you.
51:56
It's just a world where you have traded all your freedom for your
52:00
Safety guys. And and you know, the people out
52:02
there that do this that that are, you know, they tell you to
52:04
play it safe. They tell you to do this.
52:06
And it's like, man, I like freedom, I like my personal
52:09
freedom. I'm a human.
52:10
Let me take my risk in my life and I'll handle the
52:14
consequences. I, this is what I think it means
52:16
to be a Bitcoin or taking full responsibility of your actions
52:20
and knowing that, hey, man, Freedom isn't free, and it isn't
52:24
safe so, but as a person of means is a person that provides
52:28
value someone with skills. Freakin human, you will be able
52:32
to handle it. Weak times, create strong men,
52:34
and we're in this moment where we have strong, men being
52:38
created. Exactly, dude, the Bitcoin
52:41
Revolution is impossible without more individuals taking personal
52:46
responsibility. We are in clown world today
52:49
because too many people Outsource that responsibility.
52:53
There's the responsibility of the storage of money, the
52:55
responsibility for seeking information to other sources and
52:59
those Sources, have abused that power people are starting to
53:03
wake up, but that we can't win this.
53:06
We can win this. If people don't start taking
53:09
ownership over their motherfucking lives.
53:11
Anyway, zybax bars, BTC pens. I see your comment says, what if
53:16
the last name sucks, though? Could rug pull my score bro?
53:18
You know I'm putting out fire memes.
53:20
Doug. Come on anyways.
53:23
This next one is by investing.com and it's on that
53:27
one. You know the cat meme little.
53:29
Yeah. Lady yelling at the cat and the
53:32
blonde lady goes. You said inflation would be
53:34
transitory and it's got Jerome Powell with the cat face and it
53:38
says, it's transitioning to hyperinflation.
53:43
Okay, there's next one is by a trough m', and it's a, it's a
53:47
quote, and it goes stealing proper.
53:49
It's like a letter or a poster. It says, stealing property
53:52
through violence and murder and then it's a guy and he's sitting
53:55
there thinking like sounds too rude.
53:58
And so they change the narrative and Instead of stealing property
54:01
through violence and murder. The note says Taxation.
54:04
And everyone clapped. Oh my God, it just sounds so
54:06
much better guys, taxation is theft.
54:10
It's coercion. They force you.
54:12
They tell you buy guns and by scaring you into a cage that you
54:18
need to pay this or else sounds like violent to me.
54:23
This next one, I will put this one in last week.
54:27
Dan dark pillows back on Twitter.
54:28
I loved and dark pill. He's a, he's a OG Bitcoin,
54:33
anion, and of course, he's gonna dunk on Craig Wright and it's a
54:36
book. Here's a book by Craig Wright,
54:37
and it says, how to alien Everyone by being an absolute
54:40
cunt. Oh, man, black, he turned black
54:45
belt. Oh my god.
54:47
Well, apparently due to your camera, I don't know.
54:49
I think, I think my, I think I'm too hot over here because your
54:52
boy is sweating right now. So, I think, I think my AC isn't
54:57
working right now. Anyways, this Laughs meme is by
55:01
relay app and it goes here and it goes someone pointing on a
55:04
map where is France, and he goes here and then some little kid
55:08
pointing where is Brazil and he goes here and the last one is,
55:11
where's your love for Bitcoin? And it is here in my heart.
55:16
I added this one guys because I just came back from bit block,
55:19
boom. And this is, this is just how it
55:22
feels man. It really does feel like a
55:25
community of a people as Nico said, a freedom conference, you
55:29
know, there There's so much love being spread at these
55:31
conference. Everyone is absolutely positive
55:34
and focus on building and and Understanding what the problem
55:40
is but critiquing everyone with the idea of like, look, this is
55:44
not personal. I'm not here to attack you, I'm
55:47
here to help this movement become better and and this is
55:51
how it what I, you know, this is how I feel Bitcoin like Bitcoins

56:11
fundamentally believe that Bitcoin helps humanity and I
56:15
don't know what else I could be doing that is better than that.
56:17

56:20
heart and to shout out to everyone, I was hanging out this
