- 5:15Bitcoin is still a baby. Anyways today I want to talk
- 5:18about this right and Recent video came out biopsies ex
- 5:22girlfriend Christine Lagarde and she's talking about this 1000
- 5:27Euro limit. I'm gonna play you guys a clip
- 5:29and then we'll dive the little we'll dive into the article that
- 5:33anyways, check it out. Problem is, they don't want to
- 5:37be controlled, they don't want to.
- 5:41But you know what, you know what.
- 5:44Now we have in Europe, This threshold above 1000 Euros, you
- 5:50cannot pay cash. If you do, you're on the gray
- 5:53Market. That's right.
- 5:56Ladies and gentlemen, if you're paying more than 1000 and that I
- 5:59think about it, right? If it's if if you're paying more
- 6:02than a thousand dollar thousand Euros and you're not using the
- 6:06system, you know, gray Market, you're a criminal right?
- 6:10This is crazy world, this is a crazy world.
- 6:12And what about, you know, their their excuse is right, you know,
- 6:15terrorism, you know, money laundering, all this stuff but
- 6:18do you really want to live in a world where a bureaucratic Elite
- 6:22basically are dictating, you know, Know what the amount is.
- 6:25And who's to say who's to say? Because this is the law now,
- 6:29right? It's a thousand Euros.
- 6:30Now, what about five years from now?
- 6:32When they move it down to 500, or they move it down to 250,
- 6:35what about when they get rid of cash all together, right?
- 6:38Like, this is the world that they want you living in and what
- 6:41bitcoiners are advocating for is like, no one deserves that type
- 6:45of God, like control. No, one deserves.
- 6:47That governments have a history of abusing the power that's
- 6:51bestowed to them, right? What bitcoiners are For is like
- 6:55look, it's rules without rulers. There is no limit so to speak,
- 6:59right? You can store your money.
- 7:02I don't want to use their system and remember, this is the reason
- 7:06I focus on the thousand Euro limit is because this is the
- 7:09same limit that was implemented during the mica regulations,
- 7:14right? They didn't they you know this
- 7:15is the this is the same thousand Euro arbitrary number.
- 7:19Why is it a thousand Euros? Is it you know above 1000 Euros
- 7:23all of a sudden you become a Criminal what is going on there?
- 7:26So yeah Opti I don't know what you did to her bro.
- 7:29But like you know she wants revenge bra.
- 7:33She Wants Revenge. That's all I gotta say about
- 7:35that. Well, let's make it clear.
- 7:38I dumped her Nico. So that's probably what she's
- 7:40mad about but no and all seriousness, obviously Christine
- 7:46Lagarde. The central planners of the
- 7:48world are doing their best to control Capital.
- 7:51They understand. I think what we understand is
- 7:54bitcoiners is that the cracks are showing in the system and
- 7:59they don't want people to escape and a thousand dollar limits
- 8:02like that's a tiny limit. There's no way you're going to
- 8:04be able to actually move any money around.
- 8:06Any real money around. If the the limit is only a
- 8:09thousand dollars. And I mean it is Christine
- 8:12Lagarde. And we just have to remember
- 8:14what her famous quote is. If there's an Escape Route,
- 8:16people use it and so again I don't think we can be naive into
- 8:20believing that they don't know what they're doing.
- 8:23I think they are very clear in their intentions and it's not so
- 8:27much what they say. It's what they're trying to do
- 8:29and they're trying to stop capital from leaving the system,
- 8:32whether that capital is going into Bitcoin right now.
- 8:34I think we're still very early. In that process.
- 8:37But as we can see from the Bitcoin price, as we saw the
- 8:40last couple of weeks banks are blowing up and the Bitcoin price
- 8:44pumped. So I think there is some signal
- 8:47into the idea that people are waking up to the idea that
- 8:50Bitcoin is, the escape valve. Bitcoin is the safety boat and
- 8:55you have safety and sets. And so, of course, they are
- 8:58petrified of what Bitcoin can allow for the average citizen or
- 9:03the average person around the world and they're doing there.
- 9:06Best to stop Capital flight into Bitcoin and it's only going to
- 9:11get worse. It's only going to intensify
- 9:13from here. So again, we reference Cory's
- 9:16piece all the time, the race to avoid the war.
- 9:19And I think we are starting to see the very early Innings of
- 9:23people escaping the Fiat system into Bitcoin.
- 9:26Now, of course, we are very early.
- 9:28We're still very small minority of the global population, but
- 9:33the signal is spreading and more people are waking up to the
- 9:36idea. Idea.
- 9:36That the only thing you can truly own is Bitcoin, the only
- 9:39real money in the world, true Freedom, money of the world is
- 9:43Bitcoin and it's only a matter of time until these Central
- 9:46planners push too hard Barbra Streisand effect Bitcoin and the
- 9:51like wait why do you want to stop me from using Bitcoin?
- 9:54I thought it was nothing and it's only going to kick the
- 9:58Domino and just basically start the race to really, really take
- 10:02over the world. And hey, we're here for it.
- 10:05Where early? We got our bags.
- 10:06Act and it's just awesome to be a Bitcoin or even though they
- 10:10are pushing very hard. It does get a little dark but
- 10:15let yes. Yes, answer your question Lane.
- 10:19Yes. Yeah.
- 10:19But before, hold on, before I get rid of that, that's why
- 10:22that's why Chris he's upset right now?
- 10:24Nico. Stop it before I get trolled out
- 10:26more. I think it's very important to
- 10:28point out. The fact that big cup pointed
- 10:30out earlier that Christine Lagarde is the criminal not us.
- 10:34We just, we just want A whole day money that doesn't steal
- 10:37from us. Like why are we criminals for
- 10:40this? Yeah.
- 10:41Well oh man. Oh man, Opti opt.
- 10:44He's upset. I'm not strong.
- 10:46I'm starting strong today Doug. What are your thoughts on all
- 10:48this bro? What are your thoughts on all
- 10:49this madness? Well can you guys hear me okay?
- 10:54Yeah you're coming in great. Yeah well right now I think I'm
- 10:58definitely seeing a coordinated effort on all fronts.
- 11:03I kind of feel like they recently got together in Davos
- 11:05or something like that. Decided to coordinate as a team
- 11:09and and your straight like why else would you see?
- 11:11So many things in such quick succession happen over in Europe
- 11:16and Canada and the US, you know, like there's all kinds of just
- 11:20Fudd and attacking going on right now and that's kind of one
- 11:24of the reasons why I created the site that I that I did.
- 11:28That kind of even brought me to you guys today.
- 11:31But yeah, like I think we need to start using Bitcoin the way
- 11:35it was originally intended. Ended and not rely as much on
- 11:39the on and off ramps that they can try to manipulate and you
- 11:43know the whole chokepoint 2.0. Think so.
- 11:48You gotta we gotta build alternative systems right out of
- 11:52out of this centralized madhouse and you know, this was a, that's
- 11:56what it's about, that's what the beach initiative initiative is
- 11:59about, that's the tool Bitcoin will Empower you to do that as
- 12:02well, right? This is the peaceful Revolution,
- 12:05this is why we here and I know about you optimize is maybe it's
- 12:08a strong, maybe it's just too strong to say in the very
- 12:10beginning but we will win this, we will win this.
- 12:13And Kristi will be resentful. Regretful that she broke up with
- 12:20Opti. Anyways everybody let's get,
- 12:23let's get to the news, let's do this.

- 13:07All right everybody. So let's talk about the, the
- 13:10nation-state on The Shining Hill, El Salvador, or the
- 13:17English translation, excuse me, the Savior which, you know,
- 13:22mainstream will I what I call really mainstream or the
- 13:26replacement Of mainstream mainstream podcasters are
- 13:29starting to notice as well and Tim cast IRL.
- 13:32You know, Tim said, two things. He's like, I hear Max and
- 13:35Stacey's voice in the background and they're noticing.
- 13:38What is happening in El Salvador, right?
- 13:40You have a president who has a 90% approval rating dropping
- 13:44down the crime rate. Bringing major Economic
- 13:47Opportunity to their country. And you know what, maybe that's
- 13:52what's happened. And we got a lot of crap for
- 13:53that less time when we said it. But you know what?
- 13:55I'm unapologetically. Going to double down on that.
- 13:58No, freaking shame. Okay, I do think El Salvador and
- 14:03the success of El Salvador, I think part of that is due to
- 14:07their adoption of a Bitcoin standard.
- 14:10Why? Well, we've talked about this
- 14:12many times, right? I know what Bitcoin has done to
- 14:15my life, all of a sudden when you're saving and earning and
- 14:19Mining and whatever, whatever. Which Way words, you want to
- 14:23give it right when you're doing that for a money.
- 14:26That Isis in purchasing power over time, all of a sudden, it
- 14:30gives you hope and the ability to plan for a better future.
- 14:35Most countries, and people in those countries are living on a
- 14:40Fiat standard, meaning they constantly have to work harder
- 14:45and harder and harder just to be able to afford the things that
- 14:49they were able to afford the year before.
- 14:51So your ability to plan for a future is gone, you constantly
- 14:55have to work harder and not to mention the fact that that that
- 15:01money is being that that time is being stolen from you via Ian.
- 15:06What happens when you adopt a Bitcoin standard that goes away?
- 15:11And are you trying to tell me that it's a coincidence?
- 15:14That a country that adopted Bitcoin, therefore changed the
- 15:19operating standard of the country on a nation's on a
- 15:22nationwide level. Are you telling me that that
- 15:25doesn't have an effect? Are you trying to make that
- 15:27argument? I don't believe that.
- 15:29I think to me it's incredibly obvious because of what I know
- 15:32Bitcoin has done to me specifically and I know It's
- 15:35done that to Opti and I'm pretty sure it's done that to Doug.
- 15:40I don't think I've met a bit Corner that hasn't been like,
- 15:42yeah, Bitcoins changed my life. Especially, you know, nvk, CEO
- 15:47of coin kite has this in his handle right?
- 15:50Deterministic optimism. That's what Bitcoin is.
- 15:53In my opinion, the having ensures that the absolute
- 15:57scarcity ensures that get on the train train keeps going right?
- 16:02You have to take agency of take action and get on that train
- 16:05before. Leaves behind.
- 16:06Anyways, check out this article from Reuters.
- 16:08El Salvador president readies Bill to eliminate taxes on Tech
- 16:12El Salvador's president. I'm buchelli said on Thursday,
- 16:13he will send to the country's Congress next week, a bill to
- 16:17eliminate all taxes on technology Innovations as well
- 16:20as Computing and Communications Hardware manufacturing.
- 16:23Quote next week, I'll be sending a bill to Congress to eliminate
- 16:26all taxes. Parentheses income property, tax
- 16:29capital gains in Port. Tack tariffs on technology
- 16:32Innovations such as SAR software programming.
- 16:35Coding apps and AI development. So think about it, if you're a
- 16:38Bitcoin company, if you're a Bitcoin company and you're
- 16:42paying your tax rate, whatever you know again because Bitcoin
- 16:47lives in cyberspace because Bitcoin is not geographically
- 16:50dependent on a specific location like you could just move to
- 16:56where you're treated best and this is the theory of the
- 16:58sovereign individual, right? This is what they predicted was
- 17:01going to happen with information.
- 17:02Technologies will ladies and gentlemen your Missing it
- 17:06firsthand. Look, it's happening in front of
- 17:09your eyes. Anyways, the tax cut would also
- 17:11Encompass Computing and Communications Hardware
- 17:14manufacturing. The Salvador, the the
- 17:17Salvadorian leader is eager to make the Central Central
- 17:20American country, a cryptocurrency hub.
- 17:22That's not true. A Bitcoin Hub.
- 17:25Adopting Bitcoin is legal tender and 2021 and unveiling plans to
- 17:29create the world's first quote, Bitcoin, City absolutely
- 17:33bullish. Anyways here Is a tweet by the
- 17:37Bitcoin office. The Bitcoin office is the
- 17:39national Bitcoin office of those top of El Salvador under
- 17:42president Mikhail. A, that's right.
- 17:44They got a freaking Bitcoin off, its badass.
- 17:46I'm going to read you some of this, but basically, this is the
- 17:49law that was signed in. So it says the natural legal
- 17:52persons who benefit from other special, special tax regimes
- 17:55such as those included in regulations, governing
- 17:57Industrial and Commercial free zones.
- 17:59Those governing international service, parks and centers are
- 18:02among others. Will not be able to benefit from
- 18:04this law. The Present law shall apply to
- 18:06Natural or legal persons National or foreign who engage
- 18:10in commercial activities in productive, sectors related.
- 18:14At least to one of the following areas.
- 18:16A programming management maintenance Consulting, an
- 18:19analysis of computer systems or software, be the development and
- 18:22marketing of cloud computing and data flow Services, artificial
- 18:26intelligence, massive data analysis, distributed Ledger
- 18:29technology, cyber Security Solutions, see, Technologies,
- 18:33based on the manufacturing of parts and Cereals and equipment
- 18:37or facilities assembly including manufacturing plants or for
- 18:41technical technological equipment or Hardware,
- 18:44semiconductors communication Technology, robotics
- 18:46nanotechnology aircraft and unmanned Vehicles, engineering,
- 18:51and systems technologies necessary to integrate basic
- 18:54Industrial Technologies into Global Production change.
- 18:58So tax incentives and talks about them.
- 19:00I don't know about you guys, but this is incredibly bullish,
- 19:03another 40, chess move. Move by present new Kaylee.
- 19:07I mean, it doesn't surprise me and the reason doesn't surprise
- 19:09me. I'm going to double down on this
- 19:11is because he adopted a Bitcoin standard.
- 19:13I think everything gets better when you adopt a Bitcoin
- 19:15standard. Maybe I'm naive to think that,
- 19:17but I really do believe it. Anyways, Opti.
- 19:19What are your thoughts on this, bro?
- 19:21Well, first and foremost, as someone that's been down to El
- 19:24Salvador, since the Bitcoin, you know, law, El Salvador is a
- 19:28beautiful country and I'm very excited to see it.
- 19:31Prosper, going forward into the future and I think Thank you and
- 19:36I can definitely double down on the idea that Bitcoin will be
- 19:40without a doubt. One of the reasons for El
- 19:42Salvador success. And as we move into a bull run,
- 19:44I think this is going to be on contentious.
- 19:47Now that's not to say that El Salvador is perfect but let's
- 19:50not let perfect be the enemy of good and I think what they're
- 19:54doing and the improvements that El Salvador has seen in a very
- 19:57short period of time is very bullish, not only for the
- 20:01country of El Salvador but for something that we talk about a
- 20:04lot here on simplifying, We Bitcoin.
- 20:06And it's the idea if your government or the country that
- 20:09you live in is taking a negative bent against Bitcoin, then other
- 20:15countries will absorb those Bitcoin businesses.
- 20:18And this news dropping or this news of El Salvador, dropping
- 20:22taxes on Tech is a stark contrast to the posture and we
- 20:25are seeing from the US. And what do I always say?
- 20:28You can't ban yourself from Bitcoin or you can't ban
- 20:31Bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from Bitcoin.
- 20:33So, the more countries first, Countries.
- 20:36Try to stop Bitcoin businesses, the more friendly countries will
- 20:39absorb that business and start to prosper.
- 20:41So I think it's just absolutely beautiful that we are seeing the
- 20:46game theory of Bitcoin play out in real time.
- 20:48It's no longer just an ideology. It's no longer just something,
- 20:52you know, theory that we've taken out of the sovereign
- 20:54individual. We are seeing this happen in
- 20:56real time. The asymmetric technology of
- 21:00encryption is literally allowing the sovereign individual to move
- 21:04anywhere they want at any Anytime, and it's just beautiful
- 21:07to be on the front lines and see this happen.
- 21:10Now again, you know, there is some things about El Salvador
- 21:13that that maybe you may not like, but hey, I think this is
- 21:18still playing out the game theory of Bitcoin, that more
- 21:21countries, adopting Bitcoin, more countries.
- 21:23Having favorable laws in regards to not only Bitcoin, but
- 21:27Innovation is going to further push companies to their country
- 21:32and start to see them Prosper more.
- 21:33So, not only am Excited to see this happen for El Salvador, but
- 21:38I'd like to see this happen for other countries and other
- 21:40nations around the world. And hopefully we will have more
- 21:44Bitcoin countries and it won't just be El Salvador.
- 21:46But hey, El Salvador's beautiful.
- 21:49They got nice beaches, it's very nice.
- 21:51So hey Myka, I don't know man. Maybe we are going to have to
- 21:55move that down there soon but I don't know maybe not too soon.
- 21:58I don't know. It's not.
- 21:59It sounds very alluring bro. I don't know, I don't know.
- 22:02What do you think Doug? What do you think?
- 22:04Are we just reading into it? It too much.
- 22:06I'm feel very confident to say that I'm telling you that like
- 22:10people underestimate the psychological effects of of
- 22:15transitioning to a Bitcoin standard.
- 22:19Well, I mean, I think we have a pretty long road in our cushy
- 22:24first world position and so I think that, you know, it looks
- 22:29like places like Africa El, Salvador lately places that have
- 22:33basically been screwed by the, the US dollar standard, the
- 22:39world Reserve standard. Those are the ones that seem to
- 22:42be the first to adopt, you know, that the whole Bitcoin ethos,
- 22:46right. And I don't think people here
- 22:48are fully going to really Get it until things, kind of until they
- 22:53have more of a reason to get it, right?
- 22:56But, you know, we just got to keep pushing and, you know, just
- 22:58still growth, you know, but it's not.
- 23:00I don't think it's going to see that massive push until like,
- 23:02there's kind of like a an oh shit, moment, you know.
- 23:07Yeah. 100% anyways, everybody, let's let's move onto.
- 23:13I think another big piece of news for today, which is nearly
- 23:18100,000 sorry. And Silk Road, Bitcoin were sold
- 23:21by the US government, a court, document states.
- 23:24That on March 14 2023, the US government sold 9860 one Bitcoin
- 23:29for a sum of two hundred and fifteen million dollars after
- 23:33transaction costs. The government received a profit
- 23:36of 215 million dollars, roughly give or take the government.
- 23:40Also disclose that there are still about 41,000 Bitcoin left
- 23:43to be sold, which they intend to sell over the course of this
- 23:46year. And for additional batches, the
- 23:49government has Previously sold Bitcoin through auctions but
- 23:52will instead sell it directly on the open market.
- 23:55Interesting, the darknet marketplace called The Silk Road
- 23:58was used for trading drugs. You guys all know so crowed
- 24:01story, you know, free Ross, all Bridge, you guys know the deal,
- 24:04but I don't know. Dude, that's a lot of Bitcoin.
- 24:06I think they're going to end up regretting that I think they're
- 24:10going to end up regretting that in the future.
- 24:11And I think a big question is, who's buying that like is
- 24:15Michael sailor like knocking? It's like, yo, those 9,000
- 24:18Bitcoin, bro. Let me get them, you know.
- 24:21But hey look, if they've been holding them since the Silk Road
- 24:24times like there that they've made a killing they've made a
- 24:27lot of money on that but I think over the next couple of years
- 24:30they're going to regret selling it but I don't know bro they do
- 24:32they also do have a money printer so you know I don't
- 24:36think they really care either. Anyways Opti what's your take
- 24:38brother? Well I mean personally as a
- 24:42Bitcoin is the worst trade ever and it's not the first time nor
- 24:46will it be the last time that the Man, we'll just have fun
- 24:51staying poor. Like of course they their their
- 24:54Fiat bias is showing and I'm sure, like you said, they have
- 24:58probably got a pretty good game considering from the time of
- 25:02Silk Road to now, they definitely got you know, some
- 25:06some more Fiat for that trade, but I think the real signal here
- 25:10Nico, is this idea that it's the government selling Bitcoin and I
- 25:15know we keep posturing or at least keep seeing bureaucrats
- 25:18posturing that they Want to ban Bitcoin.
- 25:21But I mean, on the one hand, they're selling Bitcoin and on
- 25:25the other hand they're saying they're going to ban Bitcoin
- 25:28like which one is it? Obviously.
- 25:30It's kind of leaning towards the idea that I don't think we're
- 25:33going to actually see a Bitcoin ban in the future.
- 25:36It's probably just a lot of posturing and trying to scare
- 25:39and Gaslight people away from Bitcoin.
- 25:41But hey, you know what, do I know?
- 25:44I'm just a Bitcoin a reading into things, but I think it's
- 25:46very interesting to go down recent things that we're not
- 25:49there. Like I don't know, that's what
- 25:50I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
- 25:52Like it's a very it's a very interesting thought experiment.
- 25:55It's like okay wait like you know government institutions are
- 25:59selling Bitcoin on the one hand and then on the other hand
- 26:01they're saying that they're going to try to ban Bitcoin and
- 26:03take. Well which one is?
- 26:04It is Bitcoin you know like back to Lizzie Warren like is Bitcoin
- 26:09backed by nothing or does it waste too much energy?
- 26:11Like which one is it? You guys like make make your
- 26:14mind up on your messaging because it's not consistent.
- 26:16So whether you know, like, governments can Sell Bitcoin but
- 26:20the citizens can't use Bitcoin like what is going on here and I
- 26:25think the the difference between their actions and their words.
- 26:30It's very telling and I think as bitcoiners maybe we do get very
- 26:34Paranoid on this idea of like oh everyone's coming to attack as
- 26:37everyone's trying to kill us but hey their actions are speaking a
- 26:40lot louder than their words. And hey they're holding their
- 26:43Bitcoin, they keep selling their Bitcoin and I think we'll just
- 26:46see more people get super rich like Tim Draper that bought the
- 26:49Silk Road. Bitcoin and it's just like, hey,
- 26:51thank you guys. Thank you for giving me this
- 26:53Bitcoin. And you know what's the big for
- 26:55me? You can have fun sitting Port.
- 26:57Dude, I don't know. They should have, they should
- 26:59honestly have saved some for us. That's my take anyways bro.
- 27:04Like think about it, like sailor and Tim Draper and all these
- 27:07people brother, their stocking all the corn, dude.
- 27:09What are you gonna do? Don't let them take.
- 27:11All the corn. Don't let them take all the
- 27:13corn, right? You gotta you gotta you gotta
- 27:15stand your ground, Bro. Fuck that.
- 27:17You know. Anyways, I can't wait to
- 27:20transition to a SAT standard like somebody.
- 27:22Send me delicious some be good, you know.
- 27:25Like now it's like .0001 if you buy like a hundred dollars, like
- 27:30doesn't feel good. But I remember when like $100
- 27:33used to buy you like .1 or like .5 like dude I still do my math
- 27:38by a hundred dollars equals a million SATs and I'm way off we
- 27:43do Road you remember that it was for so long you're like a
- 27:45hundred dollars a million SATs. Fuck yeah.
- 27:48Anyways what's your take on this Doug?
- 27:52Well, I think that Lagarde has kind of, you know, there's one
- 27:58thing you can say about her and I think that is like, she
- 28:00doesn't, she kind of just comes right out and says it lately
- 28:03what she thinks. Like she says the quiet part out
- 28:05loud. As you guys are say, right, and
- 28:07that is, they see it as an escape hatch, which tells you
- 28:11they actually see the legitimacy of it and they're scared of it.
- 28:14And they don't want people to exit their their whole Fit scam
- 28:17that they have going on. And so the last thing that they
- 28:20want to plug the holes in the pipe, you know, Yeah, 100% And I
- 28:24love I love how you phrase that right?
- 28:26They you know they want they want to plug the leaking, the
- 28:29leaks like that's literally what it is.
- 28:31Anyways anyways bro. Hold on before you go on because
- 28:36there's a good question by Lori. Is it legal for the u.s.
- 28:38government to sell something that they make it legal?
- 28:41Yeah 100% that's what they did with.
- 28:43That's what they did in the 610 to order.
- 28:45You guys remember that? If you guys don't remember that,
- 28:48I'll tell you guys. So you know that's Infamous 610
- 28:51to order. They took they took people's
- 28:56Bitcoin right and gold gold, it took sorry, the prettiest lip,
- 29:02they took people's gold and then they took people's gold, they
- 29:08gave them a set in a certain amount of money and then the
- 29:11price of gold shot up after that, after they made it illegal
- 29:15and then they were able to sell out of Much higher price.
- 29:18So, like to answer your question like, yeah, like it's rules for
- 29:20thee and not for me, you know? Anyways that's my take.
- 29:26All right guys. So let's get to the culture.

- 31:31brother? Well, before we go on, I call
- 31:34them high level parasites. So let's make that clear.
- 31:38Anyways, we have dug here and you guys know me, I've been
- 31:44talking about this on the show for a long time.
- 31:46It's about different ways of creating your local Bitcoin
- 31:50Community. Some might call it a Bitcoin
- 31:52bubble, some might call it a Bitcoin Echo chamber I just like
- 31:55to call it having more friends around that get what you know
- 31:58and you understand anyways Doug hit me up in the GM's the other
- 32:02day and he's like, yo, can you check outs at map?
- 32:06What's your thoughts on all this?
- 32:08And I just finally told him look bro, just come on.
- 32:11Let's talk about it and we can connect and understand exactly
- 32:15what your building. So first and foremost Doug, what
- 32:17is that map? And what is your goal here?
- 32:21All right. Yes.
- 32:22So sat map is a site. Just a humble little site.
- 32:25I created with no huge expectations.
- 32:28Really? But of course, hoping for the
- 32:30best where I just wanted to kind of build a that peer-to-peer
- 32:35type of network. Basically of, you know, like
- 32:39your local butcher or Baker, or maybe there's a tradesperson,
- 32:43like a plumber or whatever that accepts Bitcoin so we can find
- 32:47each other and I was kind of inspired by BTC map, which is,
- 32:52which is great and kudos to them.
- 32:54But I found that I was looking for something.
- 32:56A little bit different myself as a web designer, I work from home
- 32:59and I don't want to put my home address on to on there.
- 33:04So I have people visiting me or whatever and saying, hey, like
- 33:07let you know, can I pay you in Bitcoin?
- 33:09I don't want people showing up to my house, right?
- 33:10So I wanted to connect, you know, a little bit more like
- 33:13local community type of stuff that's not like a visible
- 33:16location. And I just want to, you know,
- 33:19like give up Clean or businesses that accept Bitcoin, the ability
- 33:24to be found and for people to connect with them and that's
- 33:27basically it. Love it.
- 33:29Yeah. I was about to ask you, you
- 33:31know, do you have upset concerns of privacy concern, but you
- 33:35already answered that a true Bitcoin company.
- 33:37So, the next question, how many companies do you have on here?
- 33:42Oh, that's a good question. I mean, you know, I only started
- 33:45it probably even less than a month ago.
- 33:48But I think I'm getting near 30 so far, but I actually have some
- 33:52pretty big names on there. So far, you know, I have BTC
- 33:55sessions and I've got, you know, the Bitcoin rocks guys and
- 34:00crypto, cloaks, and a whole bunch of others.
- 34:03I've even got like, I think there's like a optometrist on
- 34:07there and even some like, doctors and stuff.
- 34:10So, yeah. It's it's growing and I think
- 34:13it's just about kind of getting the word out now, you know.
- 34:15So that's what I'm, that's what I'm trying to do.
- 34:18Absolutely love it. What's the process of getting
- 34:19your company on here? They just got a.
- 34:21DM, you or what? What's going on here?
- 34:24Well, we're at the top, there's a button to add and, you know,
- 34:27basically, it's just a form that kind of collects your
- 34:29information. You can add your logo there.
- 34:32I should probably mention that, I am implementing a very small
- 34:37listing fee, of course, 21,000 SATs, I had to go with that
- 34:41number. The reason for that is because I
- 34:43want to keep the spam out. I don't want anybody just to be
- 34:46able to come there and I just pollute the, you know, like less
- 34:50than the quality of the site. So there has to be some quality
- 34:54control. And I also kind of want people
- 34:56to prove that they actually are using Bitcoin.
- 34:58So if they can pay me, that's small listing fee, that proves
- 35:01that they're actually legit and they're not just trying to get
- 35:04like a back link to their site. So, yeah, that's that's it.
- 35:08Just fill out the form. I kind of like to do a little
- 35:11like it's just me, you know, I'm one guy and I kind of just vet
- 35:15the listings. I make sure they're legitimate.
- 35:18I visit their site, you know, make sure they're who they say
- 35:21they are, and then if it checks out, then I wish them.
- 35:25So any any company or any service or good?
- 35:29That's willing to take Bitcoin. You will add to your site.
- 35:32Yeah. If you take Bitcoin or lightning
- 35:34and you can kind of indicate, if you're, you know, if you accept
- 35:37one or the other or both and then the idea is just to make it
- 35:41simple. You can use the filters on the
- 35:42left too easily, you know, filter your search.
- 35:45So if you want to look at all the businesses in In your
- 35:48country, for example, or maybe you want to search by the topic
- 35:52of the business, like maybe, you know, it's, I seem to have a lot
- 35:56of coffee places on there actually.
- 35:58So I have an El Salvador coffee roaster on there.
- 36:02They were one of my first listings so proud to have them
- 36:06on there. And yeah, so there's a few
- 36:09different ways you can search, and it's kind of fun.
- 36:14Let's go. This is kind of a what my
- 36:18question is. Are people giving discounts
- 36:21through your site or is it just more of trying to get people to
- 36:25know that there is a circular Community Building?
- 36:30Um I mean some I've noticed that some businesses are offering
- 36:34discounts to their customers if they use Bitcoin so that's sort
- 36:38of like their own decision, you know like how they want to
- 36:41handle that. Once they once they have a
- 36:43customer, I personally think it is good to offer some incentive
- 36:47for people to use it, but you know, like the idea for me here
- 36:52to do is like, you know, just the whole circular economy
- 36:55thing, having something that's easy to find, local businesses
- 36:58to Support that Circle circular economy, it's kind of hard, you
- 37:03know, just you know, like isolated meetups and stuff like
- 37:06that. Like you can do great with that.
- 37:08I was a little bit inspired by BTC sessions.
- 37:11You know, Ben was talking about. He's been actively trying to
- 37:13build his little circle of people.
- 37:15Like he has a beef guy and he has I don't know like other
- 37:19people that he's trying to build his little Network.
- 37:22I guess. So that if you know the
- 37:23apocalypse comes, you know, he has people, he can go to and get
- 37:27stuff from This is that idea but just online.
- 37:31And for more people honestly dag, I've been talking about
- 37:35this for a minute, the same idea.
- 37:36I try not to get into like post-apocalyptic Bitcoin Doom
- 37:41horn, but I think it is very important for like-minded
- 37:45individuals to build a community around them.
- 37:48And this is kind of why I'm endorsing this company and
- 37:52hopefully seeing you get more people around us to accept
- 37:57Bitcoin or better yet just Know that you will accept Bitcoin but
- 38:01as you said, it's only been out for a month.
- 38:03So like what's been your biggest obstacle?
- 38:07Um, I would say it's just a matter of, you know, like people
- 38:12finding out about it. I find that most businesses that
- 38:15accept Bitcoin, they kind of jump at the chance to be on
- 38:17here. Like, you know, it's not hard to
- 38:20sell them and I'm not even trying to sell them, it's just
- 38:22like I have this thing, and if you think would be useful, then,
- 38:25then you're welcome to join us, you know.
- 38:28So the whole thing for me with this is just built, you know,
- 38:31kind of eating your own dog food, right?
- 38:33We don't just want to like, I mean, it's good to hottel, and
- 38:36And holds your Bitcoin but I also think it's good for us to
- 38:38spend and replace and kind of actually use it for what it was
- 38:42kind of originally intended for, you know, let's talk about.
- 38:46Let's talk about incentives. So what's your incentive to
- 38:48build? This are you making money
- 38:50eccentric cetera? Um, my incentive is that, you
- 38:55know, I've been a web designer and, you know, for a couple of
- 38:58years I've been just obsessed with Bitcoin and I've been
- 39:02looking for ways that I can put those two together and I want
- 39:06Contribute something to the community.
- 39:07And so I just have a desire to do that any money that comes in
- 39:11basically, just kind of covers the cost.
- 39:13Like, it's not really that much money, it's just, you know, a
- 39:17listing fee, you know, I am only one guy.
- 39:20So, I'm I'm dedicating my time, I have hosting costs and the
- 39:24domain and, you know, the time I spend on it.
- 39:27So, yeah, I'm not looking to get rich here, but I'm looking to
- 39:31kind of make sure that it's sustainable, you know, gotcha
- 39:34very, very cool man. Like I love that.
- 39:36Bitcoin, is that people feel it's all about incentives,
- 39:40right? They love Bitcoin, you know?
- 39:42At least for me I wrote an article for still 21, basically,
- 39:45making the case that Bitcoin gave me hope, right.
- 39:47So you know, we will you want to do, you want to contribute, you
- 39:51know, that is what we always talk about.
- 39:53The incentives are aligned in Bitcoin, right?
- 39:55You by contributing back to bitcoin.
- 39:58It's benefiting you obviously, because you're protecting your
- 40:00stock even though maybe you don't understand that directly,
- 40:03but that's exactly what you're doing.
- 40:06Miners. Obviously, they want to make
- 40:08profit but what are they doing in the process?
- 40:11They're protecting their stack. They're they're they're trying
- 40:13to make money and people that run notes.
- 40:16What are you doing? You know, you're running a node.
- 40:18Why? Because you probably own
- 40:19Bitcoin. What are you what are you doing
- 40:21on a fundamental level you protecting your stack, right?
- 40:24So everyone's incentives are aligned, and because everyone's
- 40:28incentives are aligned your actions are actually helping the
- 40:32network. And I think with this example,
- 40:36Ugh. You're helping the network in
- 40:38the witch in the, with the skill set.
- 40:40That you have, right? Your web developer.
- 40:43So hey, you develop something right Opti?
- 40:46I, obviously, we're content creators or what do we do?
- 40:48Make fucking content, right? So, I guess what I'm trying to
- 40:51say is like, anyone everyone has a role to play in this fight.
- 40:55Everyone has a role in this peaceful Revolution.
- 40:58You don't have to be popular on Twitter, you don't have to have
- 41:01a huge following. You don't have to have a
- 41:03podcast, whatever you feel like contributing is, Enough.
- 41:07And if you add all of that up, it makes a very, very big
- 41:11difference, right? Number one thing you could do is
- 41:12just help people help people, take self, custody, help people
- 41:15learn about Bitcoin, tell your friends and family.
- 41:18If enough people take self custody that's how we win the
- 41:20peaceful Revolution and there's nothing they could do about it.
- 41:23Anyways, Optics already go. Before we go on.
- 41:25We got a question here in the chat.
- 41:27Do you need help? Someone would love to
- 41:29contribute. I mean, I might I'm kind of
- 41:33thinking of ideas of, you know, what can I add to this?
- 41:36What can I do? That's that's, you know, maybe
- 41:40just cool ideas. Like I have this one idea.
- 41:42For example, of maybe people can vote for businesses that they
- 41:46wish would accept Bitcoin and maybe they don't accept Bitcoin
- 41:49yet. But if you show them, yeah
- 41:51there's like there's like 60 people right here that just
- 41:53voted that they wished. You accepted Bitcoin, maybe that
- 41:56would entice them to jump on board.
- 41:59So now that would kind of be orange killing businesses.
- 42:01So maybe kind of like a little voting system, something like
- 42:04that. I don't know if that would work
- 42:05but, you know, having a developer.
- 42:08Yeah, I'm more on the design side, then the the programming
- 42:12side. So, you know, having people that
- 42:14can help with, that would be would be good.
- 42:17Love it. What?
- 42:18What are one last question Nico. What would be like the Home Run
- 42:24process for SATs math? What is like the the Tip-Top
- 42:29ideal of what this project could become in your mind.
- 42:34Well, you know, there's, there's a whole term of like, you know,
- 42:38what was it Network effect? You know, it's only as good as
- 42:42kind of the amount of people that participate in it.
- 42:45So if it remains that only like 30 businesses, I mean, that's
- 42:49good for, for, you know, like a smaller amount of people like
- 42:53for a smaller area, but the idea is that this grows bigger and
- 42:56bigger and there's you know, every business that accepts
- 43:00Bitcoin is on it, you know, that would be the the kind of
- 43:03pinnacle Of achievement, I guess.
- 43:07Love it. All right, you go.
- 43:09I think we could get into the memes.
- 43:10Everyone's favorite portion of the show.

- 44:46and make a funny. Try to make some Funnies and get
- 44:49people taking sets into South custody, using your favorite
- 44:52wallets. Anyways, this is 2 Min review,
- 44:54so, let's just jump into it. This first one is by Giacomo
- 44:58Zuko. I think I said that, right?
- 45:00I usually mess up his name, and this is the classic play, on the
- 45:04Rope Meme and you guys can barely see it, but it's a little
- 45:08blurry, and it's got a door and it's Bitcoin maximalist and then
- 45:12another door. Or bloodiness and it goes
- 45:14Bitcoin maximalist and then another Bitcoin maximalism is
- 45:16dead. And now he's knocking on the
- 45:19last door, which is Bitcoin maximalism.
- 45:21And the Grim Reaper is just confounded because he's like,
- 45:25wow! I thought I killed Bitcoin
- 45:26maximalism in the past but no, Bitcoin maximalism will never
- 45:31die. Our ranks are growing stronger
- 45:34by the block. Anyway, this next meme is by rho
- 45:37P. I'm he did tear me a new one in
- 45:39the DMZ yesterday because I butchered his meme.
- 45:41Well, this one's pretty easy. We got ropes head on a guy, with
- 45:46a leather jacket, and a bat, and it looks like there's a dead
- 45:49body in the card. I honestly, me go out into that
- 45:52part of this team and it says, government propaganda.
- 45:56Meemers are demolishing, the government propaganda.
- 46:00And this is why the meme review and the memes are so important.
- 46:03Because if we to the bullet, to meme to the artillery in this
- 46:07information War this, next one, I know you guys saw this on
- 46:10Twitter and everyone is doing a mass Exodus.
- 46:12It is from Twitter to Noster because as Rd B TC put on this
- 46:18meme. What the hell is this Ilan?
- 46:21Why is there a doge logo on my Twitter?
- 46:25He is pumping and dumping Doge like it is absolutely criminal.
- 46:30I think Elon Musk might be an enemy to mankind.
- 46:32Hey, I'll take that. I'll take that one on the chest
- 46:35Nika. And this next one is my BTC Park
- 46:37and he goes what the fuck you Lon.
- 46:39And he put a little yellow logo, guys, if you know, you know,
- 46:43Because we got a knock. Yellow.
- 46:48Honestly, I would endorse this new symbol of Twitter if there
- 46:51was a little yellow on it, okay. This next meme is by Maxis club
- 46:57and I thought it was fitting following the whole Elon Musk
- 47:02Doge debacle. That is a continuous, train
- 47:04wreck, and Maxie come has a Bitcoin Maxi, a Pepe the Frog,
- 47:10Bitcoin are here. And it just says, trying to
- 47:14convince crypto news to do research before.
- 47:16Blinding investing into dog and shit coined, and it's a Bitcoin
- 47:22Maxi talking to a brick wall. This is exactly the feeling.
- 47:26I think all of us feel consistently when we try to
- 47:29orange pill, people that are shit Corners anyways.
- 47:34Its, next one is by sailor at Michael sailor on Twitter and
- 47:38goes, cancel the noise. Listen to bitcoin.
- 47:40And we just got this AI generated headphones with a
- 47:43Bitcoin logo on it because Bitcoin is the signal.
- 47:46Point Max. These are the way follow the
- 47:50Bitcoin signal. This is the way this is the only
- 47:53thing that is going to actually make it through the great
- 47:55transition guys. Your shit coin is not going to
- 47:57survive the great transition. It is only going to be Bitcoin
- 48:01and by shit coin, I do mean your Fiat dollars, your Fiat
- 48:05currencies and this next one. Shout out to my boy hottel
- 48:08tarantula, it's not so much the picture but this is a good
- 48:11picture. I'm pretty sure this is an AI
- 48:13generated Meme here. It's a picture of What looks
- 48:17like a Greek God holding is a Zeus.
- 48:20That's actually, you know, like if you guys want to look like
- 48:23what you want to know, what yellow looks like, you just has
- 48:27like out like an interesting voice, but that's what his
- 48:30figure. Yes!
