- 3:13My friend because I think it's really, really important to to
- 3:17talk about that Legend. Anyways, everybody, let's start
- 3:20the show. Let's do this.
- 3:23The Bitcoin numbers brought to you by novel.
- 3:27At this point, you should be running your own Bitcoin note.
- 3:29If you don't use your own Bitcoin node, you're trusting
- 3:32someone else's run your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 3:35The lightning Network, whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
- 3:38comfort of your own home. And if your digital Nomad, you
- 3:42have absolutely no excuse because now you can run a novel
- 3:45through a virtual private server.
- 3:46Visit nottle Dottie you today. All right, everybody at the time
- 3:50of recording, the Bitcoin price is 17,000, 320 SATs per dollar
- 3:555774, the block height 770, 1309 reachable, Bitcoin nodes, 15,000
- 4:0339, blocks to The Happening, 68,000 691 the having estimate,
- 4:09April 25th, 2024, total lightning, network capacity,
- 4:135,000 185 Bitcoin capacity value, 89 million, u.s. dollars,
- 4:19realize monetary inflation. 1.76 purse And and the market
- 4:23capitalization of Bitcoin 333 billion dollars with the be in
- 4:29the grand scheme of things. Bitcoin is this tiny little
- 4:32baby. Anyways, anyways, Opti Opti
- 4:36Opti, you have a, we have a lot to talk about here is her re
- 4:43which wrote a very famous book. Omo omo.
- 4:49Oh my God APNs right yeah no no no the books called sapiens.
- 4:54There we go there we read some other books.
- 4:57Yeah. So Harari World economic Forum
- 5:00type of setting and he's talking about money and start and
- 5:06sitting across from him, is the convicted, the convicted felon.
- 5:12That's not, that's actually true.
- 5:14The head of the European Central Rachel bank, which was the head
- 5:17of the IMF Christine Lagarde just absolutely crazy.
- 5:21There's a different kind of liked it about it.
- 5:24That's the head of the European Central Bank and she is she is
- 5:28the one that you know, is, is talking crap about a talking
- 5:33back at talking crap about Bitcoin.
- 5:37So, yeah, let's it's called homo dears by the way.
- 5:41So that's his, that's the second book.
- 5:42The first one is sapiens. And then the second one that
- 5:45Harare wrote I was home ideas so just to clarify that.
- 5:49Anyways, let's check out this clip.
- 5:50I think it's very revealing on a lot of things bear with it
- 5:54because it's about two minutes. But it says a lot in the
- 5:56beginning, it might not seem like it but it does eventually
- 6:00does. Anyways, let's check out the
- 6:01clip and then opting I will talk about it.
- 6:05Well, I would say that the biggest story of all out there
- 6:08as I just said, is economic growth and I do think there is a
- 6:13lot of reason to doubt this idea that the number one value of
- 6:19countries and of societies should be economic growth.
- 6:23But I think it's unlikely that we will be able to change the
- 6:27story. Quickly enough, we need to work
- 6:30with that story, not against It, Maybe I'm Wrong.
- 6:34Maybe it is possible to Make people realize that you can make
- 6:38people's lives better not necessarily by providing more
- 6:43stuff but it's going to be a very hard sell.
- 6:49So yeah, we can, we can definitely make that effort.
- 6:54Similarly, one other other important stories concern as we
- 6:59mentioned earlier, money in the nature of money and there are
- 7:03many attempts To create new kinds of money today.
- 7:09Again, whether it succeeds or not, I don't know.
- 7:11But what I can say is that any understanding of money should
- 7:16should start with realizing that money is made of trust.
- 7:21So I don't know what will be the money in 50 years, but it will
- 7:26be made of trust. Not of distrust.
- 7:29If people are thinking of new kinds of money which are based
- 7:32on distrusting institutions or distrusting government's, it's
- 7:36going against thousands of years of History.
- 7:40What is important to think about is what happens?
- 7:44Two things like taxation systems.
- 7:46If more and more of the transactions of the economic
- 7:50transactions in the world, don't involve money.
- 7:53What happens? If more and Motors transactions
- 7:56are based on exchanging information and data rather than
- 8:02just dollars and euros and Yen's.
- 8:04So what happens to this taxation system?
- 8:07Should we start taxing information and not texting
- 8:11money? I don't know, but I do think.
- 8:14We need to take seriously the the possibility that the nature
- 8:20of money is going to change, quite dramatically in the coming
- 8:2450 years or so, dude. Fascinating, absolutely
- 8:29fascinating so much to break down there.
- 8:31First, you talked about economic growth about society's
- 8:35potential, not being consumption.
- 8:36Well, that's a big Corners are advocating for, right?
- 8:38Remember, like, why are people spending the way they are?
- 8:41Because they're incentivized to because the Money is constantly
- 8:45losing value right. But what happens when all of a
- 8:50sudden you are saving our you're on a Bitcoin standard.
- 8:54You're on that deflationary mindset, meaning your purchasing
- 8:56power increases over time, meaning your incentivize not to
- 9:00spend, but to save very fascinating that he picked that
- 9:03up one of the interesting things, right?
- 9:06When he started mentioning the nature of money Opti was you saw
- 9:09your ex girlfriend. Christine Lagarde, Look
- 9:11Backwards. Like she was worried, she was
- 9:12looking like, she's like what is going on there?
- 9:16But I think he hits the nail on the head.
- 9:19But I think that he can't fully grasp the Radically different
- 9:25things are going to be because he says it.
- 9:27We can't have we can't have things that you know attack the
- 9:32V trust in society. In institutions I would like to
- 9:35make the argument that it's the trust institutions.
- 9:39The Trust In institutions that we are where we are today.
- 9:43Think about what those institutions have done, right?
- 9:46Like think about what the state has been able to do with having
- 9:50a monopoly on the creation of money.
- 9:52They've been able to use Has that privilege to fund endless
- 9:56Wars to fund social programs that you might not necessarily
- 9:59agree with and you are the expense?
- 10:02Keep in mind, the one point seven trillion dollar Omnibus
- 10:05Bill, right? Also, the around 60% of the, the
- 10:09Pentagon budget is just gone missing, right?
- 10:13But then, they expect you to, they expect to be there.
- 10:18Okay, with you being surveilled for every 600 dollar or more
- 10:22venmo and PayPal transaction. Right?
- 10:24So I would like to make the argument that against with her
- 10:28re saying, is that I think the Trust In institutions is the
- 10:32problem. I think that if you remove the
- 10:34element of trust in money, I think it would be a good thing.
- 10:38Then the only way that you're able to do that is, if you have
- 10:40a system that is fully decentralized and it has rules
- 10:44without rulers and those rules can't be changed, right?
- 10:47We know Bitcoins monetary policy.
- 10:49The next hundred something years that can't change or it's very,
- 10:52very extremely Lead. If you have to convince the note
- 10:56operators, right? The 10,000 of 10,000 things like
- 10:59sixteen seventeen thousand plus of the known nodes, right?
- 11:02There's a lot of nodes that are connecting to the Bitcoin
- 11:04Network through Tor, you're gonna have to convince them on
- 11:07an individual level, look at how Bitcoin cash and Bitcoin SV end
- 11:10up. That's, that's very hard, right?
- 11:13So, and what he's saying, is, is going against the thousands of
- 11:16years of History, like, like, as if, that's a bad thing, right?
- 11:20Like he like, like Humanity, you know, has Gone through a lot of
- 11:25these Paradigm shifts in the past.
- 11:27Right? Is the printing press was a
- 11:28famous one? Also, the, the gunpowder
- 11:31Revolution, right, there's been so many Paradigm shifts in human
- 11:35history because of Technology. Right?
- 11:38Eventually we went through the the the the the separation of
- 11:42church and state because the church become so corrupted
- 11:45because of so much power, right? I think of, I think right now
- 11:48we're in a moment in history where we're living through the
- 11:53separation of Of money and state.
- 11:55And I think that for the average person for the average
- 11:58individual I think that's a good thing.
- 12:00I think that's a net positive as much as you know as much as some
- 12:06individuals are at least the central Bankers to put it nicely
- 12:09would like you to believe, it's not.
- 12:11So anyways, this is my two sides.
- 12:12I wanted to show you guys that clip because I thought it was
- 12:15fascinating. Opti got some thoughts.
- 12:17I know you write down the notes. I'm starting to do it too.
- 12:20It's awesome. Well, you know giving my trades.
- 12:24If I have a bad memory guys, to forgive me.
- 12:26But first and foremost, yeah, I'm, I'm not a fan of you all.
- 12:30And I push back a little bit on your statement of.
- 12:33I think he knows exactly what he's saying.
- 12:35He's been known to say that humans are programmable.
- 12:38So in my opinion, this is him just like priming the masses and
- 12:42and saying what he wants people to believe.
- 12:44Obviously it's back to this whole idea of trustee experts
- 12:47and he's the authority. And so you know you peasant out
- 12:50there, you don't know what to believe.
- 12:52I can tell you what to believe I will Graham your mind.
- 12:54That's a whole another story to his statement though of him not
- 12:59knowing what money will be in 50 years I do and will be Bitcoin
- 13:04and but I really do like the idea, you know, touching on the
- 13:11idea that he touched about. Like I think we've all
- 13:13understood the basic premise that our money is based on trust
- 13:17and right now that trust has been abused and this is why
- 13:20Bitcoin was created in the first place.
- 13:22Like Brady said it in the chat. Right here, which we pulled up a
- 13:25few times is like because Bitcoin does not require trust
- 13:30it actually in genders truss and this is, this is why I'm a bit
- 13:34corner, you know, Bitcoin is my money because I don't have to
- 13:37trust anyone. I don't have to trust Central
- 13:39Bankers to, you know, make the right moves on the monetary
- 13:42policy. I just trust math.
- 13:44I'm on my money is pure information and that little
- 13:47quote of him saying like taxing information, like for fucksakes,
- 13:50like what kind of dystopian world does he want us to live
- 13:53in? In this, this guy is absolutely.
- 13:56So detached from reality that it's mind-blowing.
- 14:00Like I've said in the past these people are anti Human and I am
- 14:04going to double down on this like you've all even though he
- 14:07has this book called sapiens where he explains it true nature
- 14:09of humans did he in my opinion? There's a there's a Sinister
- 14:14theme that he just doesn't like humans, you know.
- 14:16So like this is, this is me, you know, projecting and speculating
- 14:20but there is a point that he said that I agree with The
- 14:24nature of money has changed and it is changing because of this
- 14:28very reason. We no longer have to trust
- 14:30humans to control the monetary Supply bit Satoshi has Unleashed
- 14:34us now and we just have to trust in math, you know, run the
- 14:38software run the Bitcoin code and you don't have to trust
- 14:41humans to not mess with your money because it's something we
- 14:44say all the time on this show, if history has taught us,
- 14:46anything humans will always abuse that trust when it comes
- 14:50to money. This is this is the hiss this
- 14:52history lesson guys. Like This is why we Bitcoin, we
- 14:56no longer have to trust humans to control our money supply.
- 14:59It is mathematically base feature, not a bug.
- 15:02Yeah, exactly. We've successfully figured out
- 15:04how to separate the monetary policy and we've set, we've
- 15:08figured out how to take that out of the hands of humans, right?
- 15:13And, and I think that a lot of people that believe to put it
- 15:16nicely, not like, Opti to put it nicely, a lot of people
- 15:20fundamentally believe that they know how to run your life better
- 15:23than, you know. To run your own life, right?
- 15:26And I think Bitcoin is a nightmare for them, write it,
- 15:29because it's going to be very difficult for them to co-opt.
- 15:33And, you know, it's very hard for people to come to terms with
- 15:38that fact specifically. If they've been living in a
- 15:40world where that hasn't been possible for decades now and all
- 15:45of a sudden Bitcoin just comes out of nowhere, thanks to
- 15:47Satoshi and that completely changes the argument, you know.
- 15:51So very, very exciting times but I suspect Also going to be very
- 15:54tumultuous times as well, but we will stay on top of it.
- 15:57Because that's what we do here at Veronika.
- 15:59Before we go, we got a super cat by t.k.
- 16:03Let's go to u.s. Dollars.
- 16:04Filthy Fiat to throw at you to like strippers.
- 16:10Oh God, I kind of regret, the super shot thing.
- 16:13We might have to change up that thing anyways.
- 16:17Anyways, lots of talk about during the news, let's check it
- 16:19out. The Daily News brought to you by

- 16:59Not your keys, not your Bitcoin, get yourself, get yourself a
- 17:02hardware wallet guys. This is so don't don't don't
- 17:05leave. Don't leave your Bitcoin on an
- 17:07exchange and don't don't leave your.
- 17:10Don't leave your Bitcoin on a hot wallet, right?
- 17:13Hot wild for anyone. Does knows any any wallet that's
- 17:16connected to the internet. Anyways, you want Cold Storage.
- 17:20This is Barry silbert. Ladies and gentlemen.
- 17:22Barry silbert has a net worth of 3.2 billion US dollars in.
- 17:26Barry silbert is in trouble. Looks like we're going to dive
- 17:29into the Bloomberg article in a bit but I want to give you guys
- 17:31a little bit of contact. So first, Barry Silver is a
- 17:33founder and CEO of digital currency group.
- 17:36A conglomerate of five cryptocurrency focused
- 17:38companies, DC G's, biggest Revenue, generator digital
- 17:41assets manager, grayscale. I'm sure you guys have heard of
- 17:44greyscale before. That is what gbtc is.
- 17:48Anyways. So what does digital currency
- 17:52group own? Right.
- 17:53Is a lot of familiar faces. I'm sure to a lot of you guys
- 17:56Foundry, you have coin desk as well and of course you just
- 17:59heard grayscale Investments and Genesis Global Capital.
- 18:02Now Genesis Global capital is really interesting because
- 18:05that's what Gemini the Gemini exchange was using to provide
- 18:10their yield product to their customers of which now no one
- 18:14can get their money out. There's about 900 million
- 18:17dollars worth of custom. More funds that they don't,
- 18:19nobody has access to. And of course, the Winklevoss, I
- 18:22are making a commotion about it on Twitter, but it now it's
- 18:25escalated Cameron Winklevoss. I just tweeted this out earlier
- 18:29today and let's check out some of the some of the letter.
- 18:32But goes on to say he's accusing Barry silbert of fraud like it's
- 18:37gotten to that point. Very interesting to see where
- 18:41this goes and keep in mind, right?
- 18:43I just read it to you guys grayscale and Barry silbert they
- 18:47have Twenty Eight billion dollars worth of bitcoin under
- 18:51management, right? So if it affects them, it could
- 18:54potentially affect the Bitcoin price.
- 18:56But if you've been following her advice for a very long time,
- 18:59this doesn't affect you because it just means cheaper SATs.
- 19:02Don't use margins, don't use don't Outsource to personal
- 19:05responsibility. Of the storage of your wealth,
- 19:07keep that Bitcoin, taking it to self, custody baby anyways.
- 19:10Um, so this I'm going to read some of the letter.
- 19:12Hopefully, I can get through the whole thing, says, an open
- 19:14letter to the board of digital currency group.
- 19:16I am writing to let you know that And I am more than 340 340
- 19:20thousand earned. Users have been defrauded by
- 19:24Genesis Global Capital. That's a very, very strong
- 19:26statement together with its parent company, digital currency
- 19:29group. Its founder CEO, Barry silbert
- 19:31and other key personnel, these parties considered to make false
- 19:35statements and misrepresentations to Gemini,
- 19:37earn users, other lenders and Putt.
- 19:39And the public at large about the solvency and Financial
- 19:42Health of Genesis, okay, fine. That could be true, it could be
- 19:46true, but This wouldn't have happened to you.
- 19:50If you've stopped trusting other people with your money and
- 19:53started trusting yourself, none of this would have affected you
- 19:56right now. Your keys, not your Bitcoin.
- 19:59Unfortunately, a lot of people were chasing yield, which is
- 20:02High Time preference, right? You're changing.
- 20:03You're chasing yield on an asset that had.
- 20:06I'm not saying it's going to have this type of return in the
- 20:08future, but historically it had a 250% historical return senses
- 20:13since its Inception. A lot of people are speculating,
- 20:15moving forward. It's going to be between a 40%.
- 20:1860% no one knows for sure. Right.
- 20:19I don't like to speculate on this channel but the reason I'm
- 20:22saying is just to give a little bit of context.
- 20:25So you're chasing a two to five percent yield on something that
- 20:29has the potential of giving a lot higher return, right?
- 20:33You could say that's type of greedy and is that really worth
- 20:37giving over your keys, right? Is that, is that really worth
- 20:40it, right? As I have a question?
- 20:41That's a question for you guys. So here's what happened.
- 20:43We are learning more by the day but at present the basic events
- 20:47as we And them are as follows Genesis lent, 2.36 billion
- 20:51dollars of assets to three arrows capital, a
- 20:53singapore-based hedge funds that went belly-up in June 20 22
- 20:56after collateral was liquidated Genesis indicated, that it was
- 20:59left with a loss of at least one point two billion dollars at
- 21:02this point. Barry silbert had to legitimate
- 21:04options restructure the Genesis loan book inside or outside of
- 21:09bankruptcy court or fill, the 1.2 billion dollar hole, he did
- 21:13neither at that point in time the Genesis loan book was was
- 21:16approximately eight billion dollars.
- 21:18Which means that the 1.2 billion dollar loss from three arrows
- 21:20Capital would account for roughly 15 percent of the loan
- 21:24book, books assets, a restructuring then could have
- 21:27addressed as shortfall to achieve a full recovery of
- 21:29assets for all lenders, including earn users in a short
- 21:32amount of time and given them direct access to liquidity.
- 21:35But Barry chose not to do this. He also chose not to fill the
- 21:391.2 billion dollar hole instead, he pretended to.
- 21:43It's very, that's that's, that's fraud.
- 21:44That's, that's really, really interesting.
- 21:47Now, The story keeps going right.
- 21:49This was also announced. This was the title of the video
- 21:52right on January 6. Crypto Empire, dcg faces, u.s.
- 21:56investigation over internal transfers, right?
- 22:00So it looks like this is getting real.
- 22:02And keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, he has a lot of
- 22:05Bitcoin, right? So this could potentially be.
- 22:08I'm not saying it will, we don't like to speculate but think
- 22:11about it. The downside pressure is there.
- 22:14So crypto Empire's, dcg faces, us investigators.
- 22:18In over internal transfers is a Bloomberg article for audio
- 22:20listeners. Us authorities, are digging into
- 22:22the internal Financial dealings of Barry silbert, expansive
- 22:26crypto Empire, according to people familiar with the matter,
- 22:29Federal prosecutors in. Brooklyn are scrutinizing
- 22:31transfers between digital currency group and an embattled
- 22:34subsidiary that offers crypto lending Services said the people
- 22:37who asked not to be named because the probe hasn't been
- 22:40made public. They're also delving into what
- 22:42investors were told about those transactions.
- 22:44Prosecutors questing interviews and documents one of the people
- 22:47said Said, the SCC is also conducting an investigation.
- 22:51Another person said, the probes are in early phases and neither
- 22:54Silber digital currency group nor any of its subsidiaries have
- 22:57been accusing doing. Well, no he they haven't had
- 23:01been accused of wrongdoing, but Cameron Winklevoss, I just
- 23:04accused them of wrongdoing. So Bert referred to a refer to a
- 23:07request for comment to a deal dcg spokesman in a statement.
- 23:11The company said dcg, has a strong culture of integrity and
- 23:14is always conducted, its business lawfully.
- 23:16We have no knowledge. Of or reason to believe that
- 23:19there is any East Eastern District of New York
- 23:22investigation into dcg. Genesis is subsidiary whose unit
- 23:26offers lending Services said in a statement that it does not
- 23:29comment on specific legal or regulatory matters.
- 23:32Genesis montañés regulatory dialogue and cooperates with the
- 23:35relevant of regulators and authorities.
- 23:38When it receives inquiries, it said the SEC and US attorney's
- 23:41office for the eastern district of New York declined to comment.
- 23:44It's unclear sickly which intercompany Activity is drawing
- 23:49scrutiny. I mean, I mean look I think that
- 23:56things are definitely developing.
- 23:58Like I said, public figures like this, that have such a high
- 24:03profile For them to make statements.
- 24:07Like this isn't, it's not just like the the, the just and on,
- 24:12you know, and and on, on Twitter saying, talking his mouth, like,
- 24:15this is a very public figure. And when you say things like
- 24:19this, it has consequences. So very strong statement, he is
- 24:23accusing him of fraud. Holy cow.
- 24:27So moving on on the other front, this is David.
- 24:29David Bailey, CEO of awesome, Bitcoin company or friends over
- 24:32at Bitcoin magazine. Right?
- 24:35And it looks like he's starting this movement.
- 24:37He started this movement to get a large majority share of the
- 24:42gbtc, and it looks like he's starting.
- 24:45He's starting to do that. And here's some tweets
- 24:48throughout the day right through the last couple of days, it's
- 24:51time he's calling for Barry silbert to resign.
- 24:54He's retweeting Cameron Winklevoss by Bravo.
- 24:57Now, let's talk about dcg and Almeida and the billions they
- 25:00soul from FTX users. So but David Bailey's is Is
- 25:04proposing. Is that the apparently there was
- 25:05collusion between Barry silbert and FSB F of Almeida?
- 25:10Right? That's is crazy.
- 25:12This is absolutely nuts and I was posting memes.
- 25:15This is simply Bitcoin. So we do have the cover, the
- 25:18memes. Burnt toast, absolutely
- 25:20hilarious. It looks like their campaign has
- 25:23been somewhat successful. We've now heard from 2000,
- 25:26investors representing 25 percent of the shares of gpgc
- 25:30it's time for a change free the Bitcoin.
- 25:33Right. So Dude, what an absolute
- 25:37disaster. This is crazy.
- 25:38This is like a, this is like a novella, bro.
- 25:41Is like a novela like keep going.
- 25:43You know, you had SPF with this pain house in the Bahamas.
- 25:46Now, you have on the other hand, now, you have a Barry silbert,
- 25:51you have Cameron Winklevoss by, you know.
- 25:53But I'll tell you, this guy's like the meme of, you know, like
- 25:57the guy, the guy, like, smoking the bowl behind those two people
- 26:00fighting. I know you guys know what I'm
- 26:01talking about. That guy is What bitcoiners that
- 26:05have taken self custody? That is your position right now.
- 26:08You're watching from the sidelines eating popcorn.
- 26:11You're like, this is entertainment.
- 26:12This is great. In fact, not only is it
- 26:14entertainment, this is good for you.
- 26:17Why is it good for you? Because you get cheaper SATs
- 26:19with all this in fighting. This is opportunity to stock
- 26:23very cheap Bitcoin. Remember guys, the last time the
- 26:27Bitcoin price reached these levels back in 20 2017, right?
- 26:32The 2017? Pika pika. 19k, all the things
- 26:36that have happened, whether that's public companies putting
- 26:38Bitcoin on their balance sheet, whether that's how savage or
- 26:41whether that's energy. Companies like Exxon Mobil, like
- 26:44she'll like ConocoPhillips you have gas prom, you have the
- 26:48largest Energy company in Japan all announcing that they're
- 26:51throwing their hand in the ring. They're getting involved in
- 26:53Bitcoin mining. None of that shit was true in
- 26:562017 but somehow the prices are exactly the same.
- 27:01So what does that tell you? That tells you you dude this is
- 27:04your opportunity and this opportunity was created because
- 27:08of the clusterfuck that all these shit coin exchange people
- 27:12have created but that's an opportunity for the pleb that
- 27:16didn't use margin and stayed humble stack, sites and took
- 27:19those stats into self. Custody, this is your
- 27:21opportunity, they've created it for you embrace it.
- 27:24But if you got greedy, if you dabbled in shit, coins, you're
- 27:27absolutely wrecks right now. But hey, you know, hopefully
- 27:30some people got to pay their price intuition and sometimes
- 27:32that's the lesson that you have to.
- 27:34Earn, it is what it is. But yeah, man.
- 27:36It's a, this is crazy. This is absolutely nuts.
- 27:39I suspect that this is just the beginning of it.
- 27:42Keep in mind, the first letter, the first letter went from, you
- 27:46guys aren't responding. You guys aren't answering me,
- 27:49right? And then Barry silbert, like
- 27:50they had the little spat on Twitter.
- 27:53The second letter, that Cameron Winklevoss, I just sent
- 27:55Winklevoss is saying is you guys committed, fraud.
- 27:59You guys lied and then connect the dots with the Bloomberg
- 28:01article, right? It Can't beat but that's how
- 28:04investigations are. They can't let the public know
- 28:07what it is they're investigating because that kind of gives them
- 28:09that gives the suspect a heads up, right?
- 28:12So they have to kind of keep it under wraps but according to
- 28:14that Bloomberg article, right? It looks like some authorities
- 28:17at least in New York, the SCC and other law enforcement
- 28:21authorities are looking into what is going on with dcg.
- 28:25So if you connect those two dots man, you know it's a lot of
- 28:29coincidences, could it be that the party is still going?
- 28:32Is it just Are we just looking at?
- 28:35Is it just SPF just ft x or the only ones?
- 28:39They have a lot of Bitcoin man. They have a lot of Bitcoin.
- 28:43Dcg has a lot of Bitcoins so maybe we see more fireworks.
- 28:48I don't know Opti. What are your thoughts on all
- 28:49this, bro? Well, I first before I go into
- 28:52my thoughts, what exactly is like the David Bailey?
- 28:56Like I kind of saw some stuff the talking about that.
- 29:00They did like a website, they're what they're trying to claim.
- 29:04People like like full reserves of the gbtc or something.
- 29:07Yeah, let me, let me, let me let me pull it up, that's a great
- 29:11question. All right.
- 29:12So the redeem be gbtc campaign where a group of gbtc
- 29:16shareholders interested in ensuring the trust has managed
- 29:19to maximize the value. For all shareholders, our goals
- 29:23a credible path to Redemption that minimizes impact on the
- 29:26Bitcoin Market to a reduction in management fees, three a change
- 29:31in management and a competitive bidding process.
- 29:34For new trust sponsors. Interesting, interesting.
- 29:38Well, okay, to my points that I was going to make just a tag on
- 29:43to what you said. At the very end, it looks like
- 29:45the dead body, you still, haven't floated down river.
- 29:47And oh, man, this the, the here was me being hopeful that we are
- 29:52getting out of this bear market and we shall see what happened.
- 29:55We shall see what kind of fireworks we see by the end of
- 29:59this 20, was it? 20, 21 and 20 22 bear.
- 30:04It like mad. What a crazy crazy time.
- 30:07You know, I've said it before and I'll say it again.
- 30:10And obviously, I will double down on this dealt by gbtc.
- 30:14You guys like, don't don't participate in paper Bitcoin.
- 30:17This is why we tell you guys to take your Bitcoin into self
- 30:21custody by spot Bitcoin. Like this is, this is the way
- 30:25guys, this is how you stop this madness.
- 30:28To stop recreating the Fiat system on my Block Chain.
- 30:32Like now, I know, That you can get gbtc to your 401ks and what
- 30:37have you? And it's a way to get exposure
- 30:38to bitcoin. If you still have some money in
- 30:40the Legacy system, you know, there's obviously Nuance in this
- 30:43but I am just not a fan of paper Bitcoin and you know, gbtc seems
- 30:49to be a huge paper Bitcoin Ponzi.
- 30:52And you know this if we learned anything in the last year man,
- 30:56it's like don't chase yield or you'll become the yield and I
- 31:01understand again there's obviously Nuance to all this but
- 31:04Man, it is not looking too good over there and just, I guess,
- 31:07the average pleb perspective, maybe we're in for some more
- 31:12cheap sense, guys. So, you know, maybe this is a
- 31:15the Silver Lining to this and we will be able to scoop up some
- 31:19more cheap Bitcoin before, before we start to see this bull
- 31:23run continue. Yeah, absolutely.
- 31:27And it presents an opportunity. It's an opportunity for
- 31:30everybody that, you know, focused on real work, right?
- 31:34You know, you Fiat mine as much as possible and then, you know,
- 31:37you DCA that into into Bitcoin or if you did that none of this,
- 31:43none of this, none of this you're watching on the sidelines
- 31:46are, you're literally watching this and you're like, okay, this
- 31:48is cool, right? So anyways, really interesting.
- 31:52Let's see how this ends up. Anyways, Opti, The culture.
- 31:55I'm really excited. We're going to talk about how
- 31:57today. The daily culture brought to you

- 32:17incentivize self custody and dollar cost averaging.
- 32:21What do you waiting for visit Swan Bitcoin.com today, Well I'm

- 32:33about hey guys, check out my blog.
- 32:35Boom is going to be one of the biggest Bitcoin conferences in
- 32:37the u.s. integer Bitcoin conference network with fellow
- 32:40bitcoiners, Austin, Texas August 24, 25 26, 27 2023.
- 32:44This is not a shit coin and have tea or blockchain event a bit
- 32:47block. Boom we talked about Bitcoin

- 32:52promo code all caps, simply Bitcoin to get a big discount to
- 32:55your bit block. Boom tickets.
- 32:58Let's go. Okay guys.
- 33:00So today as you can see is the 14th year anniversary since the
- 33:08legendary at how Finn tweet on Twitter two words just simply
- 33:13running Bitcoin and you can see this was tweeted January 10th,
- 33:172009 and absolute legend in the Bitcoin space.
- 33:21The first Bitcoin ER to basically the first actual bit
- 33:25Corner outside. Of Satoshi himself and so I
- 33:29figured it would be just a good time to give tribute to you know
- 33:34one of the heroes in Bitcoin. I know you know slate Your
- 33:36Heroes or anything but how thin by everyone standard is an
- 33:40absolute Bitcoin hero and I thought it was very fitting that
- 33:45maybe I just read his own words for this little bit and you can
- 33:49understand his own story through his own words.
- 33:52So here we go. Bitcoin and me from how Finney
- 33:55March 19 2013. And here we go.
- 33:58Here's the riding goes. I thought I'd write about the
- 34:00last four years and eventful time for Bitcoin and me, for
- 34:04those who don't know me, I'm how fit I got my start in crypto
- 34:07working on an early version of pgp working closely with Phil
- 34:10Zimmerman? Phil Zimmerman, when Phil
- 34:12decided to start pgp cooperation Corporation.
- 34:15I was one of the first hires I would work on pgp, until my
- 34:18retirement at the same time, I got involved with the
- 34:21cypherpunks. I ran the first crypto get
- 34:23cryptographically based on Anonymous remailers among other
- 34:27activities. Activities fast-forward to late
- 34:282008 and the announcement of Bitcoin.
- 34:31I noticed that the cryptographic greybeards I was in my mid 50s,
- 34:35tend to get signature cynical. I was more I've always loved
- 34:38crypto the mystery and the Paradox of it and went to toe.
- 34:41She announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list.
- 34:43You got to skip, tickle reception at best.
- 34:46Cryptographers had seen too many Grand schemes by clueless noobs
- 34:50and they tend to have a knee-jerk reaction that I had
- 34:53long been interested in cryptographic payment schemes.
- 34:56Plus I was lucky enough to Meet and extensively correspond with
- 34:59both way died. And Nick Szabo generally
- 35:01acknowledged to, I've created ideas, that would be realized
- 35:04with Bitcoin. I had made an attempt to create
- 35:06my own proof of work based currency called our pow, or our
- 35:09po W. So I found Bitcoin fascinating
- 35:12when Satoshi announced the first release of the software.
- 35:15I grabbed it right away. I think that was the first
- 35:18person besides Satoshi to run Bitcoin.
- 35:20I mind block 70-something and I was the recipient of the first
- 35:24Bitcoin transaction when Satoshi set 10 coins to me as As a test,
- 35:27I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over
- 35:30the next few days, mostly reporting bugs and him fixing
- 35:33them today. True identity has become a
- 35:35mystery. But at the time, I thought I was
- 35:36dealing with a young man of Japanese ancestry who was very
- 35:39smart and sincere. I've Had The Good Fortune to
- 35:42know many, brilliant people over the course of my life.
- 35:44So I recognize the signs after a few days Bitcoin was running
- 35:47pretty stably. So I left it running.
- 35:49Those were the days when difficulty was one and you could
- 35:51find blocks to the CPU, not even a GPU, I mind several blocks
- 35:55over the next days, but I turned it.
- 35:57Off because I'm it made my computer, run hot and the fan
- 36:00noise, bothered me in retrospect.
- 36:02I wish I had kept it up longer, but on the other hand, I was
- 36:04extraordinary. Lucky to be there at the
- 36:06beginning. It's one of those
- 36:07glass-half-full half-empty things.
- 36:10The next I heard of Bitcoin was late 2010.
- 36:12When I was surprised to find that it was not not only still
- 36:15going Bitcoins, actually had monetary value.
- 36:18I dusted off my old wallet relieved to discover that my
- 36:21Bitcoins were still there at the price climbed up to real money.
- 36:24I transferred the coins into an offline wallet where a Hopefully
- 36:27they'll be wear something to my heirs.
- 36:30Speaking of airs, I got a surprise in 20 2009 when I was
- 36:33suddenly diagnosed with a fatal disease and kind of goes in as
- 36:37little the story about how he got Lou Gehrig's Disease.
- 36:41And this is why, you know, rest in peace to how finny.
- 36:45But ALS is a disease that kills motor neurons, which carries
- 36:48signals from the brain to the muscles, it causes first
- 36:50weakness, then gradually increases paralysis, it is
- 36:54usually fatal into 25 years. His symptoms were mild.
- 36:57But today he's essentially paralyzed while riding this.
- 37:00And I am fed through a tube and my breathing is assisted through
- 37:03another two by operate. The computer, using a commercial
- 37:05eye tracker system is all also has speech synthesizer.
- 37:10So this is my voice. Now as my power wheelchair
- 37:13worked up an interface using an Arduino so that I can adjust my
- 37:16wheelchairs position using my eyes as been an adjustment.
- 37:19But my life is not too bad. I can still read listen to music
- 37:22and watch TV and movies. I recently discovered that I can
- 37:25even write code The slower probably 50 times slower than I
- 37:29was before, but I still loved programming and it gives me
- 37:32goals and then he adds on at the very end and of course the price
- 37:36generations of Bitcoin are entertaining to me.
- 37:38I have skin in the game but I came by my Bitcoins through luck
- 37:41with little credit to me. I lived through the crash of
- 37:442011. So I've seen it before.
- 37:46Easy, come easy, go. That's my story.
- 37:49I'm pretty lucky overall. Even with ALS my life is very
- 37:52satisfying, but my life expectancy is limited those
- 37:55discussions about inheritance. Eating your Bitcoins are more
- 37:58than academic interests. My Bitcoins are stored in our
- 38:01safe-deposit box in my son and daughter are tech-savvy.
- 38:04I think they're safe enough, I'm comfortable with my legacy.
- 38:07I'm getting the chills just reading about it.
- 38:09Man. The how and I think there's a
- 38:12there's some there's some really cool little tidbits in there.
- 38:15If you like read between the lines, of course, you know,
- 38:17mining big coin with your CPU. He's the forget the, a Bitcoin
- 38:22transaction 10 Bitcoins from Satoshi himself and then you
- 38:26know, the Interesting tidbit of almost big-hearted feel the same
- 38:30way even when your Bitcoin in Cold Storage like there's a
- 38:33sense of relief when you go back to it and you know your coins
- 38:36are still there. You're like okay I did it
- 38:38correctly, my coins are still there.
- 38:40I you know I I didn't wreck myself.
- 38:43I think everyone has that same same feeling.
- 38:46We're just your glad that you secured your Bitcoin correctly.
- 38:50This is why we tell you guys to take Bitcoin into self custody
- 38:53and and make sure that you back up your coat your seed phrase
- 38:55and you do test Actions because you do not want to get in that
- 38:59position. And then I think one of the one
- 39:01of the tidbits, which is very funny considering we're in a
- 39:04bear market right now, is this part at the end and of course,
- 39:08the price generations of Bitcoin are entertaining to me.
- 39:10I have skin in the game but I came by my Bitcoins through luck
- 39:13with little credit to me. I lived through the crash of
- 39:152011. So I've seen it before, Easy
- 39:17Come Easy. Go guys.
- 39:19I know you guys may be new to bitcoin you.
- 39:22Maybe this might be your second, you know, third bear Market or
- 39:26what have you You. But this is just part of the
- 39:28Bitcoin cycle, the Bitcoin number will go back up.
- 39:31This is just part of the having cycle the, how thin cycle and
- 39:36you know, you see the price fluctuations and you just double
- 39:39down and you continue to stack, continue to get better in your
- 39:43Bitcoin self custody. And again, here's another little
- 39:47little Memoir on Nakamoto Institute.
- 39:50Basically what I covered. But I just wanted to end with
- 39:53this mean, by says, Zero running Bitcoin.
- 39:56Shout out the house. Any he loved to do marathon
- 39:58before Lou Gehrig disease, completely paralyzed him.
- 40:02So I think on today guys it's just very fitting.
- 40:05You know, there are some Bitcoin Legends out there and how thin
- 40:09is one of them and this this tweet, if I could make one point
- 40:13of contention musk, can you keep my like on this tweet?
- 40:17Why do I always have to re like this tweet?
- 40:19Every other couple of months but anyways, the legendary at how
- 40:22thin tweet of running Bitcoin January 10th 2009.
- 40:27January 10th is almost like a Bitcoin holiday at this point.
- 40:31Everyone. I hope you guys are running
- 40:32Bitcoin, run the software, take Bitcoin into self custody.
- 40:35This is the Revolution and you two can pass down your Bitcoin
- 40:38to your heirs in the future. This is what we're doing.
- 40:42Rest in peace how Fini we appreciate everything you've
- 40:44done, shouts out to his family, we appreciate you guys.
- 40:48Let's just let's just keep doubling down.
- 40:49On the Legacy that is built Bitcoin and building on top of
- 40:52what how often accomplished and in his time on planet Earth.
- 40:56Peace out guys. It's beautiful man, saying Opti
- 41:00with With, you know, Xiao Tao, you know, that disease is
- 41:05absolutely terrible. Absolutely ravaging.
- 41:08But how is a legend that tweet will live on in eternity and
- 41:14yeah, man, just, you know, thankful for what he
- 41:17contributed. But it's incredibly sad, dude,
- 41:21but you could tell that he was still in the fight, you know?
- 41:26Even as limited as he was physically, he was still able to
- 41:31courage up the motivation to write something like that in.
- 41:35Good spirits, it was thankful. He was humble and that is
- 41:39absolutely inspiring. And you know how rest in peace
- 41:42man. Wait, wait, wait, you think, oh,
- 41:45can we do this TK, says 21 seconds of silence for the first
- 41:48receiver of Bitcoin. It almost seems fitting.
- 41:51I know it's not that good of an audio quality or YouTube show,
- 41:55but I don't know. I kind of like this idea.
- 41:58So 21 seconds of silence for how Fini

- 44:00I really liked how Jedi said it on Monday.
- 44:02You know, we are, we are true tellers and we tell the truth
- 44:05through ART, I think that's a beautiful way of painting this
- 44:09message. So, continue to ridicule the
- 44:13high-level parasites, the monetary demons, continue to
- 44:15clown them, continue to spread the truth, so that the normies
- 44:19out there, the masses can get the bite size.
- 44:21Signal because everyone has ADHD and they can't, you know, read a
- 44:25long paragraph or anything so you got to give them in truth.
- 44:28What's the what's the old saying a picture?
- 44:30Paints, a words of a thousand sentence.
- 44:32Whatever you already know. I.
- 44:36Alright so this first one, the first meme shouts out to at
- 44:39maming Bitcoin in the course I had to start this one off with a
