How Bitcoin Nodes End Censorship on the Internet | EP 571 · Simply Bitcoin

0:18
go. Welcome to Simply Bitcoin live.
0:20
Today is September. 7th 2022. We are number one source for the
0:28
peaceful Bitcoin. Ellucian recover, the Bitcoin
0:31
use culture, me Matic Warfare, we will show you why only
0:33
Bitcoin can give you true Financial sovereignty.
0:36
Today, we have a very special show lined up.
0:39
We have the CEO of start9 lab. We have Matt Hill.
0:43
How you doing, Matt? Hey, doing good.
0:45
I actually just retweeted that this is happening right now, so
0:51
here I am. Awesome.
0:53
Well, we're super to have you on the show, we're going to have a
0:55
really interesting discussion, kind of adding to Discussion
1:00
that we once had when Matt came on the show, that it was, it was
1:03
a long time ago. But this idea that Bitcoin nodes
1:08
could possibly be a trojan horse for something.
1:11
We're going to explore that idea in a second, but I want to say
1:14
hi to my legendary co-host. How you doing Opti?
1:17
What's up Niko? How you doing, Matt feeling good
1:19
today? Excited for today's show.
1:23
And also, you know, we said yesterday about Bitcoin Freedom
1:26
day and I did the math. Everyone's been saying one year
1:29
since Since El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, but guys,
1:33
it's 50 2560 blocks, come on, get it right, this is block
1:37
height Max, she's over here, come on you guys are still
1:41
Gregorian calendar Max, he's not going to make it not gonna make
1:43
it. What do you have for us on the
1:47
culture of the? Oh, yeah, on the culture.
1:49
So I'm gonna double down, you know, we've been covering a
1:52
bunch of themes and so I scrolled Matt Hills, Twitter and
1:56
I got some cool tweets and and some cool ideas and start.
2:00
I didn't stuff that we can add on the themes that we've been
2:02
talking about on the show for the last couple of months.
2:05
So I think it's going to be a good show guys.
2:08
Awesome. All right, guys, let's start the
2:09
show. Let's do the numbers.
2:14
Another time brought to you by not all they make some of the
2:17
best Bitcoin nodes run your own version of Bitcoin core, the
2:21
lightning Network whirlpool and Dojo all from the comfort of
2:25
your own home. Remember guys, if you don't run
2:27
your own Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's and if
2:30
you're a digital Nomad you have no excuse because now you could
2:34
run a novel through a virtual private server.
2:36
Visit noddle Dottie you today. All right guys, at the time of
2:40
recording the Bitcoin price is 1896 that's per dollar.
2:45
Five thousand two hundred ninety.
2:47
Two block height 750 3053 reachable Bitcoin nodes. 15,000
2:52
27 blocks to The Happening 86,000 947 having estimate April
2:57
22nd 2024 total lightning network capacity, 4700 703,
3:04
capacity value, 88 million. U.s. dollars, realize monetary
3:08
inflation. 1.78 percent still taking the US dollar to school
3:11
market capitalization. 61 billion US Dollars.
3:16
Anyways, today I want to talk about this absolute clown World
3:20
video coming out of the EU. We've been covering this topic
3:23
quite a bit on this show. Here is the president of the,
3:27
her name is like Ursula, some, some crazy name.
3:30
But look, we are at that. We are at that point point in
3:33
the movie, where they're implementing price controls are
3:37
a form of price controls, or would basically power controls
3:41
the the, in the, the quote there, right?
3:43
I wanted to focus on is flatten the curve.
3:46
Where have we heard that before in the last two years?
3:49
And how did that turn out, right?
3:51
This is absolutely crazy. These are the same people that
3:54
are going after Bitcoin for environmental reasons, that seem
3:58
crazy energy policy where we're coming from the show is like,
4:02
yeah, bird more fossil fuels, is it more important to morcha
4:07
Virtue signal, or heat your home.
4:10
And I think Europe is going to learn that very quickly.
4:13
And is that going to lead to an inevitable recession, right?
4:17
Is that going? Because at the end of the day,
4:19
right? If, if people can't power their
4:21
homes, that means people can't power their businesses.
4:23
That means businesses shut down, we've showed you pictures, and
4:26
here's Michael burry. He's the one that predicted the
4:29
2000. The 2008, you know, crisis to
4:33
look crypto crash meme crash inflation.
4:36
Check 2000 check. 2000-2008. Check 2020 to check.
4:41
So he's obviously, you know, he's Going to something is this
4:44
the beginning of it? I don't know.
4:46
We shall see and actually tweeted this out the other day
4:49
and I think I want to talk about it where Bitcoin plays into
4:52
this. I said and Europe's energy
4:54
policy was 100, energy, disasters, 100% avoidable.
4:57
People will literally freeze to death this winter because
4:59
government sold the public on the false promise of Renewables,
5:02
which cannot replace fossil fuels.
5:04
Anytime soon, it goes on to say, well sending billions to Ukraine
5:10
spending billions. On Renewables is only possible
5:12
with the money printer. Sure what the end results of a
5:14
starving and freezing populace. We must separate from State.
5:17
I mean we must separate money from state, right?
5:19
I don't think under a Bitcoin standard, these types of
5:22
policies would be viable. They're only viable because
5:25
these bureaucrats, these politicians have an endless and
5:29
endless supply of money. That funds, their crazy ideas,
5:32
whether that is funding a war, right?
5:34
Funding endless Wars or whether that is funding terrible energy
5:38
policy. I don't think it would be
5:39
economic. Oh, I don't think it'd be viable
5:41
under a Bitcoin standard Is Matt, are we just crazy
5:45
bitcoiners? What are your thoughts on all
5:46
this? Oh, that's a broad topic to come
5:49
at openly like that. Look policies, being pursued by
5:54
governments and authoritarians worldwide are insane.
5:58
They're out of touch with reality and, unfortunately, that
6:02
type of stuff can survive for a lot longer than a lot of people
6:07
think it can. You can live in an irrational
6:11
market and in a rational world, for Or quite a while.
6:14
I you know, essentially taking steroids and you know injecting
6:18
falsehoods into the mindset of the populace.
6:20
But eventually reality had that say it's usually not a very
6:26
gentle. Say usually comes back with a
6:28
vengeance and I think that that time period is approaching.
6:33
I try very hard not to give time estimates on anything because
6:36
I'm always wrong. I always think things are going
6:38
to happen way before they actually do.
6:42
I like to think I'm ahead of the Curve But but yeah I don't know
6:45
when this is going to happen but there will be suffering.
6:49
Yeah, so do you believe Bitcoin can fix this.
6:54
I believe Bitcoin is a major part of the solution yet.
6:57
Okay. So do you believe also in the
7:01
claim that I made which is this is the result of Fiat money.
7:04
This is the result of politicians having access to a
7:07
money printer. Yeah.
7:09
In large part. Yes.
7:11
You know, if you go back before the sort of digital age, like,
7:16
if we were to, you know, remind like, 50, 60 years, I would say
7:20
that, that was pretty much. The only problem was the fact
7:23
that You know, had control over the money supply and that we had
7:27
moved off of the gold standard. And then that in turn
7:29
facilitated, almost every abuse of government made possible by
7:35
their ability to fund things through Fiat.
7:37
However, now that we have entered, the information age,
7:41
there is a broader control over information in general that is
7:45
posing a threat, right? Money is now information.
7:48
So it is a major piece of the information that is being
7:52
controlled. But in the Ation age.
7:54
It's increasingly important to control all forms of information
7:58
which is where you see the battles happening.
7:59
Now it's not just in money, it's in, you know, it's in truth.
8:04
There's a battle of Truth and control over the Avenues and
8:10
storage places of information 100%.
8:13
And I think you hit the nail on the head, right?
8:16
The internet disintermediated information, there was a handful
8:20
of Gatekeepers or those newspapers or as whatever back
8:23
in. Day and now there's there's the
8:27
ability through Twitter through, you know, all these social media
8:30
platforms to communicate directly to Millions upon
8:34
millions of individuals making their own decisions.
8:36
I saw this tweet by Jack Pacific and I think it was spot-on.
8:40
If the internet existed in 2003, we wouldn't have gone to war
8:43
with Iraq as it would have been very, ER, lot more difficult to
8:46
sell the public on, you know, on the narrative that Iraq had
8:49
weapons of mass destruction back in the day, right?
8:51
So it's actually fascinating that you brought that up.
8:53
Anyways Opti. What are your thoughts on all
8:55
this brother? Well, first I love what Matt
8:58
said, and I'm going to be less eloquent than that, you know?
9:02
You rekt rip as in the chat guys, like man, I literally
9:06
called Nico this morning and was asking, you know, trying to pick
9:09
his brain down, what's going on. Because I'll, you know, I'm
9:12
seeing this stuff. And I was like, yeah.
9:13
Like, what's your thoughts on this?
9:15
And, and we were literally saying the same stuff, man, and
9:18
personally, I'm just concerned for all, you know, the average
9:21
people out there in the in Europe that Going to get rekt
9:24
this winter, man, like the implications that are about to
9:27
happen. This winter are are freaking
9:29
terrifying. And I, you know, I'm just glad
9:31
that I'm in America right now. But as Nico keeps telling me is,
9:34
like, what's happening in Europe, may come to America, so
9:38
like, don't don't get too excited guys.
9:41
But, you know, as the meme goes gowell, go broke, but I guess we
9:44
have a new Evolution of the meme and it's gowell, go cold.
9:47
So man, let's just hope that this is like The last pendulum
9:54
swing until the world starts to wake up to the idea of just just
9:59
how bad of an idea it is to go completely, you know, on
10:03
renewable energies that aren't nuclear.
10:05
So we shall see, you know, fossil fuels are the way and if
10:09
you guys really want to have renewable energy, then we need
10:11
to double down on nuclear energy but apparently that we still
10:15
have a lot of loopholes to get to that point.
10:17
So it looks like we're in for some pain at least our European
10:21
brothers. So you know, I hope you guys
10:23
stay. Warm.
10:24
And I hope it doesn't get as bad as we think it will be but it's
10:27
not looking good. Absolutely.
10:29
It's not looking good and the term of the Renewables.
10:31
It's like look like it's not that we're against Renewables.
10:34
Is that like the public was sold that renewable energies and this
10:37
moment in time was a viable replacement to fossil fuels and
10:40
that just turned out to be a lie and then add the, you know, you
10:44
could have you couldn't have seen this the you know, the
10:46
Russian invasion of Ukraine, right?
10:48
It just creates this perfect Powder Keg that's just I think
10:51
that's basically what's happening in Europe right now.
10:53
Now but as Matt said I think Bitcoin in the future could
10:58
potentially at least incentivize politicians to make better
11:02
policy decisions. I'll say that.
11:04
Anyways let's move on to the news.
11:09
Daily News brought to you by crypto.
11:12
Cloaks.com, they make some of the best 3D printed Bitcoin
11:15
merch. From node cases to keyrings to
11:18
the vents on the back of your Asic for Air Management and of
11:21
course the famous 3D printed Bitcoin.
11:25
Grenade toy which comes in any custom color, your heart desires
11:28
you want it in Gold, they make it in gold and you can take
11:32
advantage of the promo code down below to get 5% off crypto,
11:35
cloaks.com. Guys, I've been looking forward
11:39
to this conversation for a long time.
11:42
This is start9. Matt, first of all, I think we
11:46
have to preface this. What type you in on the website,
11:51
says Sovereign Computing, what type of computing do we have
11:54
today? We have cloud computing today
11:59
and you know for lack of a better term, right?
12:02
We have centralized intermediated Computing but the
12:06
most common word to describe that at least over the last 20
12:09
years and popular. You know, technology circles has
12:14
been cloud computing. And what cloud computing
12:16
essentially means is that everything that you're doing on
12:19
your phone and laptop. Those things are essentially
12:22
remote controls that are accessing a server.
12:26
Computer, that is not your own, right?
12:28
So the cloud is just somebody else's computer and that's the
12:33
Computing model that dominates human computer interactions
12:37
today is that almost every click, you do, every time you
12:40
use your phone, you are actually just renting space temporarily
12:44
renting time on somebody else's computer and that's how people
12:48
compute today. That is cloud computing.
12:50
It has dominated come to dominate the world.
12:53
Yeah and then there's there's huge Consul that right because
12:56
It's like if I wanted to message you Matt it's not me and you me
13:01
directly messaging you. It's me going to a server and
13:05
then that server going to you and then that what that allows
13:08
is that allows easy capture by government because what people
13:12
don't understand what a lot of people, a lot of people do
13:14
understand but a lot of people I guess it's because you don't
13:17
have to think about this because it's all in the back end is that
13:19
there's only a handful of companies that own the to use
13:23
your words to own those cloud computing Farms.
13:26
Server Farms, right? There's only a handful of them
13:28
right there is Amazon. There's Google, there's Oracle
13:32
and go back to, you know, put the politics aside.
13:36
We don't care about that on this show.
13:37
But remember January 6, right? One.
13:40
Very popular app at the time, was called parlor and they were
13:44
literally shut down. I think a week later, you know,
13:47
for political reasons for whatever, but they disappeared
13:50
off the face of the planet because it's exactly what you
13:53
said. Matt, they weren't using their
13:55
own infrastructure. Sure they were renting it out
13:57
from someone else meaning they were they were they were
14:02
vulnerable. Now I'm going to connect this
14:03
with Bitcoin in a second. Right?
14:07
Matt, why is it important to run your own note?
14:12
Well, so running your own node specifically for Bitcoin.
14:15
You know, I can talk about in detail but then there's this
14:18
whole idea of running your own server in the broader sense,
14:21
right? So the one sort of leads to the
14:23
other, but the importance is that you are no longer dependent
14:27
on a trusted third party for your general computing needs,
14:31
right? So for Bitcoin, if you're not
14:33
running your own node, you are running somebody else's note or
14:36
I'll put it, you know, you're using somebody elses know,
14:39
because there is no such thing. Bitcoin without nodes right
14:42
there's no such thing as you know Cloud messaging without a
14:48
server and so when you use a Bitcoin wallet or you want to
14:52
transact in Bitcoin, you are using a node somewhere owned by
14:58
someone and so therefore you're trusting them to some degree.
15:03
Sometimes it's more of a critical trust issue than other
15:06
times, but you are trusting them.
15:09
You are not independent. You are dependent on somebody
15:12
else. And dependency is antithetical
15:15
to freedom and sovereignty. And so if that is your goal,
15:18
then you got to run your own note.
15:20
That's all there's to it. Absolutely.
15:22
And another thing Matt, right? Is that the way that I see it is
15:25
that the Bitcoin node is the Trojan Horse to Sovereign,
15:30
Computing. Would you agree to that
15:32
statement disagree? What are your thoughts by
15:35
circumstance? I agree.
15:37
Right? So let's go pre Bitcoin.
15:40
This problem. Still existed right pre Bitcoin.
15:43
We were aggressively moving on to third party Cloud
15:47
infrastructure which carried an enormous amount of personal and
15:51
sociological drawbacks what Bitcoin did was it actually kind
15:57
of like woke people up. Bitcoin was this like massive
16:02
innovation in decentralized consensus and and and in money,
16:07
quite frankly, that sort of got People thinking in terms of
16:12
Independence and sovereignty, right Bitcoin was the Catalyst
16:16
that I think our world needed to even get people thinking in
16:22
terms of independent Computing models, like I can do things
16:27
without asking permission. I can do things in a way that
16:30
cannot be denied and that is why Bitcoin is so Central to like,
16:35
what we are doing. Not only is Bitcoin important
16:38
for reforming. You know, Global monetary
16:42
systems which is sort of the heart of human society.
16:44
But it is also the Catalyst for reforming, Global Information
16:48
Systems, it Bitcoin itself does not solve decentralized
16:54
information. It solves decentralized
16:56
consensus, which has been applied to money, first and
16:59
foremost. But there is a broader objective
17:03
here which is to remove all third-party trust from the human
17:07
computer relationship. And without bit Bitcoin.
17:11
I don't know if we could convince people of this, right?
17:14
It's part of the culture and the marketing, quite frankly, that
17:19
we can't even get people thinking in this way.
17:22
If it wasn't for Bitcoin, Bitcoin taught people about
17:25
public key cryptography, it taught them about, you know,
17:29
self custody it. Like got people thinking about
17:32
things that they had never thought about before.
17:34
So now all the sudden a personal server ultimately you know,
17:40
Propagating to a new Grassroots internet suddenly becomes
17:44
possible because Bitcoin paved the path it showed the way it
17:49
set the example. That that is absolutely
17:53
fascinating and I agree. I never thought about it that
17:56
deeply but the I had this moment where it was actually seeing
18:01
your product, right? And you started adding more
18:03
features that had nothing to do with the Bitcoin the with the
18:06
Bitcoin out is a messaging soft and I was like, wait a second
18:10
bit of running a Bitcoin node and putting up a Bitcoin node is
18:13
the excuse to use setting up a server that provided the
18:18
incentive. Now that being said, in an
18:20
ideal, World. Do you see ten years from now?
18:24
For a, for example do you see a whole other internet?
18:29
Do you see a video server as well?
18:31
Similar to you too? I know that's hard to think
18:34
about because of the resource requirements today but we all
18:37
know the Technologies, deflationary right?
18:39
Just gets cheaper and cheaper over time.
18:41
Where do you see, Sovereign Computing, 10 years from now?
18:45
Do you see? Do you see individuals
18:47
communicating peer-to-peer right?
18:50
Maybe you're Cell phone connects to your server at home and then
18:53
from there your server connects to another server and then
18:56
that's how you communicate with people without having to rely on
18:59
a third-party. Where do you see the future of
19:02
sovereign Computing, 10 years from now.
19:05
You just jumped right to the juicy stuff.
19:07
The ten years from now, visit we believe and we believe that we
19:12
have reason to believe that everything everything that can
19:17
currently be done in the cloud. Centralized custodial
19:23
intermediated trusted model of personal Computing can be
19:29
replicated in the totally independent, Sovereign,
19:33
decentralized model of personal Computing.
19:38
And that with one exception, right?
19:39
And that they're, the two can never reach total parity because
19:43
the latter, the one that we are promoting will ultimately
19:46
require the individual to take some degree.
19:50
And I mean, that big of responsibility over their own
19:55
life and property. Meaning, don't lose your
19:57
password, don't lose your seat frames, right?
20:00
Or we might even be able to get a little bit further down that
20:04
line by using creative multisig Arrangements where even if you
20:09
do screw up, there's a way to recover, okay?
20:13
But there's no Mama and Dad to call and say, I fucked
20:17
everything up and have them just be like, oh, it's okay.
20:19
Because we were in control of the Time anyway.
20:22
So we just recovered everything for you and you're good to go
20:24
that won't exist in the Sovereign Computing model.
20:28
So the question that remains open to humanity, which I have
20:33
not yet determined, which way people will go is our human
20:38
beings willing to take a marginal degree of effort and
20:44
personal responsibility to secure their independence and
20:50
freedom. Edom on this planet if the
20:52
answer is no then what we're doing is futile, no matter how
20:55
good we make the technology. If people are not willing to
20:59
keep secure a single piece of information and we're never
21:02
going to reach it. But aside from that, we can
21:05
replicate the entire Computing, Paradigm that currently exists.
21:09
Meaning users will not have to know what a server is.
21:14
Okay, the experience will be identical to the experience that
21:17
they have today. Meaning I will be able to open
21:20
up a Phone and go to a App Store and download a client
21:25
application, not a server-side applications.
21:28
Okay, forget about the back end here.
21:29
Just the remote control that these devices in your hands will
21:33
continue to be remote controls, as they are today, except
21:38
instead of remoting into somebody else's server and
21:42
renting space on it, where they are now your master and can do
21:45
all sorts of things. Like invade your privacy, and
21:48
sell your information and extort you want.
21:51
You've become dependent on their product, instead of that you
21:54
will be remoting into your own server in your own home.
21:58
That you actually don't need to know much about, right?
22:01
We think and not, we think what we are creating at start9 is
22:07
going to be an experience, akin to a router setup today.
22:11
And in fact, the embassy will be a router in short order.
22:14
We were already working on this, so that in the future rather
22:18
than installing, you know, a router in your home.
22:21
And then using it as your gateway, to the internet, you
22:24
will install this router in your home and it will actually be
22:28
your territory on the internet without you even knowing much
22:31
about what that means. So now what happens is, I
22:34
install an app on my phone say a text messaging app.
22:38
OK, I install the app and is SOI use single sign-on to sign into
22:43
that app. So instead of like signing in
22:45
with Google or signing in with Facebook, I'll sign in with my
22:49
Embassy, right? So I will authenticate Take a to
22:51
that application with with my Embassy.
22:54
And as a result, the embassy can then actually install configure
23:00
and run any server-side software that is necessary for that
23:04
application to function without my knowledge.
23:07
Well, not without my knowledge, it'll be a little prompt that
23:10
says hey you've installed blah messaging app and in order for
23:15
blah messaging app to work, we have to install configure and
23:19
run server-side software. Are on your router at home on
23:23
your server at home, do you agree?
23:25
So you click yes. And then basically you just log
23:29
in with a user and password like you would for any other app and
23:31
you're often text messaging your friends and what you don't
23:34
realize is that the entire model is completely disintermediated
23:39
that your phone is talking to your server which is federating
23:43
on P2P and Federated networks with other people's servers and
23:47
you're just chatting away like you would today you have no
23:49
knowledge. There are no trusted third
23:52
parties involved. That is not a pipe dream.
23:55
We can create that. We have created a portion of
23:58
that already. There's still a ways to go, but
24:01
we know how to do what I just described and it's so
24:05
fascinating. Matt, that you said that,
24:07
because I actually tweeted this out the other day at the bit,
24:10
about responsibility, the bit about an individual.
24:13
And that, honestly, that's the thing that I get hung up on,
24:16
right? Is that at the end of the day,
24:19
people still have to take that. At last step, you could hold
24:22
them the hand to the bridge, but they still need a walk over the
24:25
bridge, right? And I tweeted this out, I said
24:27
energy G actually retweeted as well said without personal
24:30
responsibility. The Bitcoin Revolution is
24:32
impossible, right? So, without people, taking that
24:35
slight little bit of responsibility, right in this
24:40
case, it's literally as simple as plugging in a router that has
24:43
its own server, installed it in the reality is, and here's one
24:47
of the trade-offs, it is going to be slightly less.
24:51
Vini n't. Then a slightly less
24:54
inconvenient than centralized. It's a lot day.
24:57
Okay. Like doing doing it properly
24:59
today, like holding your own, can he's using your own node?
25:03
Not that's hard right? It is hard and I'm using that
25:08
term relatively, right? Like it's pretty dang easy.
25:10
Like, we've made it pretty easy to run your own Bitcoin, to run
25:13
your own lightning node and actually use them in a
25:15
non-custodial, non trusted, totally Sovereign way, but it Is
25:21
still hard by most people's standards.
25:23
Okay. We are not at the grandma /,
25:27
child phase of adoption of this technology yet and we need to be
25:32
honest about that today. It requires a significantly more
25:36
effort to do it in the right way.
25:39
Then it does to do it in the easy wrong way and our job as a
25:44
company, as well as many others in the Bitcoin and Sovereign
25:48
technology space. Our job is to Should we call
25:51
convenience parity? We need to get it just as
25:54
convenient. So that way in the future people
25:57
aren't assessing these complex trade-offs of time and effort
26:02
and cost what they're all they're assessing is, do I want
26:05
to do my Computing in the 100% easy way?
26:09
Where I'm in control of nothing, where I own nothing and I'm
26:12
really happy, or do I want to do it in the 99.9% vignette way?
26:17
Where there are no risks? No counterparty trade.
26:21
Off, right? And we think that everyone goes
26:23
for the right hand in that scenario, but we're not even
26:27
close to that scenario yet. Yeah.
26:31
And but I do believe though, we will get there, I think we'll
26:35
get there in a decade or two decades or so I want to ask a
26:39
question from the audience and then we'll go to my last
26:43
question. First of all, Paul says, Matt
26:46
can we use could we use it for higher data applications like
26:50
store like Whirring security. Cam files today.
26:54
No, I mean you know so you can store files on your Embassy
26:57
today. You know, we have we have both
27:01
file browser. And next cloud is also around
27:03
the corner that will allow you to just take any old file and
27:06
upload it to your Embassy and store it.
27:09
Now, if you're talking about the ability to like use those
27:12
security cam files either for live streaming purposes, or a
27:15
convenient way to view those files.
27:18
That is not currently available. But here is what is on our
27:21
Roadmap. Okay, we start nine and you
27:23
asked about this earlier, Nico to about the sort of 10-year
27:25
Vision here. It's this train does not stop at
27:30
messaging and data storage and Bitcoin codes.
27:33
All right, ultimately what's happening to planet Earth?
27:36
Right now, the mega technological shift that's
27:39
taking place under the surface is internet-connected devices.
27:43
Okay. The world is getting really
27:45
smart and what I mean by that is that devices are not done,
27:49
right? They are internet-connected
27:51
That's what's meant by iot. It's what meant by a smart
27:53
device is that it is connected to the internet connected to
27:57
other devices, and sources of data in your life.
28:01
Such that you can be served by these devices in the most
28:04
efficient manner possible. We're talking about the robot
28:07
Future, Okay? Where everything in your home is
28:09
smart, everything in the world is connected.
28:12
That is what's actually at stake here because that's where we're
28:15
going. That's the future of humanity.
28:17
Is an incredibly connected and smart World whether you like it
28:20
or not. That's where we're going.
28:22
There are only two possible ways that that future can exist,
28:26
either one every device in your home and that surrounds you in,
28:30
your life is connected to the Mother Ship, third-party clouds
28:35
where your lights can be turned off.
28:37
If your non-compliant with your carbon usage that month, where
28:40
your money can be cut off, where there's literally a guard at
28:44
your door, which brings a whole new, you know, meaning to
28:47
lockdowns, where you physically cannot exit your house Because
28:51
the locks are controlled by Google, right?
28:54
That is sort of the one possible future and dystopian future.
28:58
I would argue of a robot future and it is the future that that
29:03
is the centerpiece of every big Tech boardroom in the world
29:07
right now. This is what they are trying to
29:09
do. This is the endgame, all of the
29:11
free apps that they give you on your phone and use this for free
29:15
and use this for free. It's all just to get you into
29:17
their ecosystem, to treat you to a dependency on their System so
29:21
that they can start to put devices into your home and this
29:25
isn't some like conspiracy malicious thing where they're
29:28
like ooh once we get the devices in that our home will be able to
29:31
like lock them in their home and control them.
29:34
This is about a general recognition that this is where
29:37
the money is to be made. That people want a smart World.
29:41
They want everything to be connected and to serve them.
29:45
And so, that's what these boards are pushing for it to dominate
29:48
the home, they want to own your smart home, We are doing at
29:51
start9 and I would argue, we might be the only ones actually
29:55
thinking like this and developing our Technologies to
29:59
accommodate this, right? We're not thinking about this as
30:01
like a Bitcoin node, right? We're not doing this in the
30:03
naive contained way, but we are trying to enable why we might
30:09
not make smart devices. We might make smart devices,
30:11
we'll see where this goes. But what we are trying to enable
30:15
is a iot robot future where all of these smart things in your
30:20
life are are actually networked together on a private segment of
30:25
the internet where it is your private internet.
30:29
Your private fleet of robots that are serving you so that I
30:33
can go to the other side of the world and open up my phone and
30:39
watch live video. Footage of my home on the other
30:43
side of the world, push a few buttons.
30:45
Turn on my oven and cook a meal, etcetera, Etc.
30:48
From the other side of the world without a Single person on Earth
30:52
even knowing that that interaction is taking place let
30:56
alone being able to stop it right, private Sovereign control
30:59
over physical devices. In the real world is our
31:03
mission. That's what we are actually
31:05
trying to enable an accomplished.
31:08
Gotcha man. That has me super excited but I
31:12
know me and you are hook hung up on the same question.
31:15
Are people actually going to take responsibility?
31:18
Yeah. So that leads me to the last
31:21
question. I think the most fascinating one
31:22
and I think that perhaps people have come to this realization.
31:25
It's but we cover a lot on, simply Bitcoin.
31:28
We do cup, we cover the separation of money and state.
31:30
We do say we are your number one resource for the Bitcoin
31:34
Revolution, at the end of the day, what you are saying?
31:37
A tremendous amount of power away from governments.
31:43
Okay, they're being disintermediated, two ways right
31:46
now money which is atrocious and information, which is what we're
31:50
living through which is why you have futile attempts, you know,
31:55
by by the administration's. First tried to release a
31:57
Ministry of truth, right? So it's like, what is the
32:01
government reaction to this? They're definitely going to push
32:05
for, you know, the CBD. See you meant you mentioned that
32:10
a little bit? The the oh nothing be happy.
32:13
Type of Route. What is your expectation?
32:17
Of course you you're betting your future on this running this
32:20
company. Where do you think the pushback
32:22
will be? I expect enormous push back.
32:29
I was on with Marty on Tales from the Crypt awhile back.
32:32
We went for three hours so if you're interested in the
32:35
long-winded version of this answer, go check that out but I
32:41
think this is going to be a multi multi decade process on
32:45
that show. I estimated 70 years and that
32:48
was a year ago so we're at 69 now and what I mean by that is
32:54
The point at which we will be able to sort of declare victory
32:57
over this this movement, I think it's a 70 or process and the
33:01
reason for that is because we're talking about, you know, in the
33:05
time frame of history from a mega political, you know, shift
33:09
like this if they just don't happen overnight right, there
33:12
might be flare-ups where things speed up and then slow down, but
33:15
ultimately it's going to take a long time to complete this
33:19
transition and the reason I think that is because it
33:22
requires children, right? The start9 loves it.
33:28
I love it. When somebody in their 60s or
33:31
70s finds US loves us promotes us uses our product and gets
33:36
what we are trying to accomplish.
33:38
I consider that completely icing on the cake.
33:41
I am in no way, shape or form targeting these people, I do not
33:44
believe that they are important to what we are trying to
33:46
accomplish or to the future of this world that it's all about.
33:50
The next two to three generations.
33:52
That's what we have to win here. Right?
33:54
So when people talk about hyper Bitcoin ization and sort of, you
33:58
know, winning this in a few years, I think they might be
34:02
forgetting that the vast majority of the world and
34:06
especially the people in power. The incumbents are not going to
34:12
relinquish that power, simply write, even out of just inertia,
34:19
right? It's not just that they like
34:21
don't want this different world. It's just that they don't know
34:23
how to Function in it that it's so foreign it's so different
34:28
that they're not going to accept it.
34:30
And I believe that the incompetent stupidity and Malice
34:34
of many of these people are such that they would rather burn the
34:37
house down. Then see their world that they
34:41
know and love and have come to rule dissipate before their
34:44
eyes, so I expect enormous pushback, I do expect a
34:50
reasonable degree of tragedy and suffering, Along the way.
34:56
I also think that the future we are building is the inevitable
35:01
one. I don't like to do pure
35:03
historical determinism like I don't think that it has to
35:06
happen. We could totally go down a
35:08
horrible dystopian, but being path that leads to a thousand
35:11
years. But I think it is far more
35:13
likely that the passion and intelligence and quite frankly
35:19
adherence to reality that is behind our approach will We'll
35:24
win primarily because the other approach is going to eat itself,
35:27
right? So the question is, how I like
35:31
this from Foundation. The foundation series sort of
35:34
fixates on this a little bit. It's the bowl is to Darkness.
35:39
It's to minimize the suffering. It's not to eliminate it.
35:42
Like it's going to be bad. There's going to be a battle
35:45
here. The question is, how can we
35:47
shorten it? How can we make it as brief and
35:51
painless as possible? And in my mind that's still 70.
35:54
Here's and the answer to that is education of children.
35:59
Predominantly targeting people under the age of will call it
36:03
30, maybe 40 predominantly targeting those people and their
36:08
children. And then, you know, secondly,
36:13
making progressing, the products, the technology to
36:19
reach convenience, parity, right?
36:21
Because ultimately, we don't need people to Buy into the
36:25
ideology. We need them to buy into the
36:27
technology and they fly into the technology.
36:30
If the technology quite frankly is good and works.
36:34
So it start9 we are leaning more on that side.
36:37
Were more about like making the tech as awesome and usable as
36:41
possible so that we can get as many people to jump ship and
36:45
exit the existing system as quickly as possible.
36:48
But we are also very Interested in the educational truly
36:52
important. We just don't focus on that
36:55
because it's not our core competency.
36:57
We're a bunch of frickin engineer's, not Educators.
37:01
Absolutely. And I met, you absolutely blew
37:03
my mind and I agree with you. This is a peaceful Revolution.
37:07
This is about winning over the hearts and mind, convincing them
37:11
personal responsibility, Freedom.
37:13
That's what it's all about. And this is why I always push
37:17
this upon you guys, the audience.
37:20
It's up to you. You have to, you have to take
37:23
responsibility, you have to push this future that you want
37:26
doesn't require coercion. We have much better incentives
37:29
than they do. And there's another thing that I
37:31
want to end this coincidentally this just connected about their
37:35
the opposing system, the dystopian future imploding
37:38
itself. Look at Europe, they chose an
37:42
ideology. That was not based on reality
37:45
and that's had catastrophic consequences but the bright side
37:49
of that, right? There's a little there's a
37:50
there's a silver lining is that in the process of those
37:53
catastrophic consequences hopefully it wakes up enough
37:57
people where they realize okay, maybe that was a bad idea and
38:01
I've also tweeted this out many many months ago I said hey it's
38:05
not that what worry? It's not winning that worries
38:08
me. It's the transition and I think
38:11
that's what keeps bitcoiners up at night because we don't know,
38:15
we don't know what's going to happen.
38:16
If it happens too quickly, I could tell you this for sure,
38:19
they will. Order a hundred percent.
38:21
Right? If it happens gradually that's a
38:25
little bit better in my opinion, 70 years.
38:29
Hopefully we all live that long to see that, but anyways, I know
38:33
you need, right? You'll make it.
38:36
It'll be a hundred literally anyways, Abdi is going up, I
38:42
know, I know. Anyway, whoo, anyways Opti, I
38:45
know you got some awesome questions for the culture
38:47
format. Let's check it out.

39:13
Visit Swan Bitcoin.com today. All right, guys before we get to
39:17
the culture, I want to give a special shout-out to Pacific
39:19
Bitcoin. It's November 10th through the
39:21

39:35
discount on your Pacific Bitcoin tickets.
39:38
Opti, what do we have? What do you have for us today?
39:40
Alright guys, so I mean first of all like I've been on the fence
39:44
for start9 now and not now I really want to get one cuz you
39:48
got you you sold me on it. A few of my friends have been
39:50
telling me to get One. And now, I'm, I need to get one
39:53
anyways. I saw this tweet and I've been
39:55
really big on the idea of stand up for the things, and the ideas
40:01
that you believe in, and I saw this tweet, and honestly, I
40:03
thought it should got more like, so idealism and realism are not
40:07
in Conflict. So long as your ideals are based
40:09
in reality. And and my just question to you
40:13
is because I believe Bitcoin is one of the most important ideas,
40:16
but my question to you is, have you always been this based or
40:20
has Bitcoin Changed you and change your ideas.
40:25
I'm the same person. I was when I was like, four.
40:30
I mean, I've learned a lot. I even went through phases where
40:34
I really had to like dive into the other side and give it a try
40:39
and make sure that, you know, it resulted.
40:41
Yeah, I've done the thought experiments.
40:43
I've done the actual life experiences, But ultimately, I
40:49
have always been like this. I just didn't understand it
40:52
until I was older, which is that?
40:54
It bothered me. That people always talked about
40:56
idealism as an insult. They would say something like,
41:00
well, you're just, you're just saying like this Ideal World the
41:04
way that it should be and, and what they mean by that, is that
41:09
it can't be right? It should be but it can't be and
41:12
so you're naive, you're an idiot and the reason for that is
41:17
because the majority of people's ideals like what they hold as
41:22
principles or as moral ideals. Are actually contradictory with
41:27
reality and human nature, right? Like, they hold some moral ideal
41:31
to be true on a whim on a belief, they just say, like,
41:36
well, it should be like that and they actually can't derive that
41:40
back to reality. It's just a belief.
41:43
It's just something that they made up or something that they
41:45
were told. And so, what that does is it
41:48
makes them believe that anything you believe in any ideal is
41:52
outside of reality. Because their ideals, Outside of
41:55
reality. Well, I have made very conscious
41:59
and prolonged efforts to prove to myself that the things.
42:03
I believe my ideals are based in reality that I can derive them
42:08
back to sensory and perceptual input and that they're practical
42:13
and achievable even if they're very far from the reality that
42:16
we experience today, they are possible.
42:20
And so I proudly it sort of advertise myself as an idealist.
42:24
First I am you know I don't settle for half measures and
42:31
partial Solutions. Like I want the real solution,
42:34
the permanent real good solution and I check myself in that
42:41
process to make sure that that solution is in fact based in
42:44
reality and possible. So I'm an idealist realist,
42:49
which is rare. It's a very rare thing to be
42:52
man, I love it. I Been telling everyone that
42:56
I've been the same person forever, and it's only been
42:58
because of Bitcoin that I can actualize my ideal.
43:01
So I agree 100% with you. And this next one, we have more
43:06
the daily culture into or from the daily fails and I know we
43:10
still occasionally get shit corners on here.
43:12
So as you can see, on the screen, guys, I took this from
43:15
start9 labs and you said, when income, it says web 3.0 they
43:19
really mean the most nightmarish versions of Web 2.0.
43:22
And I think we already covered this a little bit on on.
43:24
On the the new section but if there's someone out there that
43:28
is still bullish on web 3.0 could you maybe dissuade them
43:33
off the cliff a little bit so that they do not get more
43:36
wrecked right now. I know you kind of did earlier.
43:39
I heard it earlier but I'm sure you could just add a little
43:42
more, a little more sauce in there.
43:44
So someone doesn't continue down the shit coronary pathway.
43:49
Yeah, the term web 3.0 has become entirely perverted, you
43:57
know, even when that tweet, the one that you just screenshotted,
44:00
there was was made at the time at least in my mind there was
44:06
still an opportunity to use that term because it had popular
44:11
awareness, right? Like it's nice to use things
44:14
that are already sort of out there to mean something positive
44:18
right to say like We're building web 3.0 and here's what we mean.
44:22
When we say that we lost that battle wholeheartedly web 3.0 is
44:26
a dead term right? I do not believe it can be
44:29
salvaged which is why Jack Dorsey and them are saying but
44:33
5.0, they're like we're so far from three.
44:36
We're just going to skip for him, go to 5 because there's an
44:38
acknowledgement that three is is dead.
44:42
I would argue that five as their pitching.
44:44
It might also be dead but time will tell how that project
44:48
evolves. So we don't say this anymore,
44:52
start9 is not a web 3.0 company because what web 3.0 means
44:56
colloquially, what it has come to mean in Venture Capital
45:00
circles and in consumer circles and, you know, corporate circles
45:05
is essentially Financial scams on a blockchain, that's
45:08
basically what it has come to mean.
45:10
Now, that doesn't mean that everything that uses the phrase
45:14
web 3.0 is a financial scam on a blockchain.
45:16
It's just that that is the my understanding of that Word.
45:19
Now basically means we're going to use some underlying
45:24
blockchain, which doesn't solve any issues in the first place to
45:30
create derivative assets that have no value from the thing
45:35
that has no purpose. And then slap an enormous amount
45:39
of marketing on it so that people sort of Gamble and we can
45:44
profit from that naivety and recklessness, that's what web
45:49
3.0 Oh sounds like to me and so we don't say it anymore, we have
45:52
pivoted and you know, have stuck with having pivoted but we've
45:55
sort of double down on our original kind of messaging,
45:59
which is, you know, disintermediated Computing,
46:02
Sovereign Computing. You know, the removal of trust
46:06
from software and hardware systems.
46:10
And, you know, censorship resistance decentralization like
46:14
the core principles that are underlying.
46:16
The real technology that's going to revolutionize.
46:19
Landed a full beautiful. I absolutely love it.
46:22
This next one, it is a meme but you guys did it on start9 Lambs.
46:27
Be the Uncle Jim. You wish to see in the world and
46:29
we did get a comment in the chat and this is by our friend Loco
46:33
and he goes, curious question, would it be a bad practice for
46:36
your trusted friends and family to connect your wallet to your
46:39
node? Now I know the answer but to
46:41
those that are wondering, maybe you could shed a little light on
46:45
the people. Interesting.
46:49
I'm curious what you think the answer is here.
46:52
So I've not believe and we are not building our technology in
46:57
such a way that forbids trust, okay?
47:01
Trust is okay, so long as the person you're trusting and
47:05
trustworthy meaning, you know them, you have experience with
47:08
them. In fact, I would argue that
47:10
human society would be difficult to function.
47:13
It would be hard to imagine a functioning Society.
47:16
Where you trusted? No one.
47:18
Okay. Maybe at some but this this is
47:22
what I would consider to be the negative form of idealism.
47:26
I don't see that world ever happening.
47:27
Humans are social trusting loving beings within their
47:33
communities and their families. Okay, so like I trust my wife.
47:38
I trust my partners at start9 and if I didn't I would be so
47:43
inefficient that I wouldn't be able to move, right?
47:45
Because if I didn't Trust them to do anything ever.
47:48
Then I would have to do everything myself and that's
47:51
just not practical. So I don't know exactly where
47:56
the line is. I think it's at close friends,
48:00
like the inner circle of your life it is okay to share
48:06
Computing resources and stuff like that.
48:08
If you trust those people not to abuse them or censor you or
48:12
delete you or spy on you, right? Like I'm okay with that.
48:15
And so I don't think that there's going to be a future
48:20
where every person in this world is running their own.
48:24
Her. I do think that we will see a
48:27
highly highly fractured future where small families, small
48:32
organizations, and maybe a bunch of individuals are all running
48:36
their own servers. So it's okay.
48:38
In my, my thinking of this problem that if you have a close
48:43
friend or family member who's running a Bitcoin node and they
48:46
give you permission and access to that node that it's okay to
48:50
connect your wallet to their node because you trust them.
48:54
Yeah, I mean, I agree. I don't know where the line is
48:57
guys, but definitely make sure that you trust the person in
49:02
real life. Like you.
49:03
You gotta have a certain amount of trust with the person before
49:06
you connect to their node. And, you know, how do you say
49:10
this like export your reliability and Trust to two
49:14
strangers? I would definitely not do that.
49:17
That's the point when we talk about disrupting trust, it's
49:20
that you shouldn't trust people who have that, you have no.
49:24
Trust and in fact who have every incentive to violate that trust,
49:27
which is the current Arrangement today, right?
49:29
Like we are trusting corporations and governments
49:34
that have we have every reason to believe not just based on
49:39
history and empirical evidence. But based on the incentive
49:42
structures themselves. If you understand them, we have
49:44
every reason to believe that they're going to violate that
49:46
trust. That's the kind of trust that
49:48
we're disrupting. You want to trust your
49:51
significant other or parents. Go for it.
49:54
There's no problem with that. In fact, we encourage it.
49:57
Beautiful. I love it.
49:58
I have some a few more stuff, but I think I want to end on
50:01
this one so we can get to the memes and keep this show a
50:04
little quiet or a little shorter.
50:05
I mean I've been on this theme lately as like man, how far down
50:10
the dystopian rabbit-hole have? We gone like how far down
50:14
science fiction? You know, Works have we've gone
50:18
in in real life and it's the parallels are so almost
50:23
terrifying. Times.
50:24
And I found this tweet and I think this sums it up really
50:27
well and you go, I'm ran described Atlas Shrugged as the
50:30
day after tomorrow. And now, it's just tomorrow and
50:34
I have, I love my friends comments Keefe right here.
50:36
He goes, her characters are not realistic and is when I hear
50:39
that, did you either read it correctly or you're completely
50:43
disconnected from reality? So can you just maybe shed some
50:46
light, like not necessarily on the parallels?
50:49
But man is Atlas Shrugged becoming a documentary?
50:53
Now, like, it seems like we have gotten to such a point where if
50:57
you aren't reading Atlas Shrugged, you aren't going to
50:59
know what's going on in the world.
51:01
There is a documentary about Atlas Shrugged becoming a
51:05
documentary that was launched in 2000 familism.
51:09
It's fairly well done, there are parallels but it's playing out
51:14
slightly differently than she imagined actually.
51:17
Right because technology has taken a wild turn Since the
51:24
1950s with the internet and with Bitcoin, like I'm thoroughly
51:28
convinced that Ian Rand would have been like a hard-line
51:31
Bitcoin ER today whereas in the past she was a hard line, you
51:35
know, gold-backed dollar Advocate which was probably the
51:40
best possible thing you could have been at that time and point
51:44
in technological progression, so I do believe it is tomorrow, not
51:50
the day after tomorrow anymore. Again, history moves.
51:53
Hello. Everyone always thinks including
51:55
myself sometimes that things are just around the corner, but
51:58
these Mega political shifts, take place over the course of
52:01
decades, if not centuries. And so, I think she thought
52:05
everything was going to fall apart in, like the 70s and 80s.
52:08
And in, and in a way it did, the world is very different now than
52:12
it was then but it also had a way of perpetuating.
52:16
Like, in other words, the potential energy is just growing
52:19
and growing and growing and we keep being like it's got a pop.
52:23
It's got, its got a pop. You can't just keep living this
52:26
lie, this false reality forever, but it can go a lot longer than
52:31
you think. And so, the second difference is
52:36
that rather than a bunch of sort of righteous independent
52:43
creators, and Builders openly, abandoning Society, of just
52:49
being like, I will not contribute my productive energy.
52:53
To society and I'm going to like go over here to this physical
52:57
place in the Rockies called galt's Gulch and you know,
53:02
contribute my physical production there and abandon you
53:06
until your World falls apart. And then we'll come back and you
53:11
know, do it the right way. What's happening is that this
53:14
exit has taken a different form and it's in the form of Bitcoin
53:19
and Sovereign Computing, right striking has exited Has not
53:25
been. A physical thing.
53:28
It's been a digital thing, right?
53:30
Like people aren't quitting and moving to another place in the
53:34
world, they're quitting their Fiat jobs and joining these new
53:39
companies and organizations that are building alternative
53:42
structures. So, in a way, it's sort of
53:45
exactly what she predicted, but only analogously right only
53:49
metaphorically. But yeah, I mean, the best of us
53:54
are gradually. Striking not by, not working but
53:59
by working on things that do not contribute to the existing
54:04
corrupt fracturing system which is Expediting, its collapse, and
54:10
we will be blamed for that Bitcoin.
54:14
Sovereign Computing and those who contribute to those
54:17
Endeavors will be blamed for the collapse of the system.
54:23
They will claim that if it wasn't for us they're
54:28
disconnected. Utopian ideals would have
54:32
flourished. Absolutely love it.
54:35
I should preach preach man. And and here just this last we
54:41
don't even have to comment on it because I think you Add enough
54:44
in the Tweet itself and we can move to the Moon review.
54:47
But I've been echoing this idea as for the last couple of weeks
54:51
and I think you, you just said it perfectly in this tweet and
54:54
you said don't ask permission or beg for forgiveness do the right
54:57
thing and own it. And I think you just, you know,
55:00
we can put the pin on what you just said, because I've been
55:03
saying for a while, you know, be the shining example of what it
55:07
means to be a sovereign individual and people will want
55:09
to know how you got there, and what you do and why you do what
55:13
you do. And I think you just you just
55:15
summarized it so well, man, I absolutely love it.
55:18
If you want to add two sides before we move on, by all means.
55:21
Yeah. I mean this was a play on the
55:23
the old adage of, you know, better to beg forgiveness than
55:26
ask permission, and I'm just like fuck that, you know.
55:30
Yeah, I agree. It is better to beg forgiveness
55:32
than ask permission but there is no third option, right?
55:35
Which is don't ask permission. Don't beg forgiveness, just do
55:39
what we know to be right thing and then don't apologize for it.
55:43
Don't beg. Forgiveness, just fucking do it
55:45
and on it, you know, and that's what I do.
55:47
I try to do it in a way that it's not going to endanger me in
55:50
any sort of a cute way, but I do the right thing, and I don't
55:55
mince words about it, air horns Opti.
56:03
All right, all right, let's go to the me review.
56:05
Hold on daily mean, review brought to you by B box to
56:11
bitcoin only additional air while it by shift crypto crypto
56:15
like cryptography. It's secure, it's open source
56:18
and it's so easy, your mom can set it up.
56:21
Self custody is the revolution in the bit box.
56:24
Makes it simple, do not leave your Bitcoin on an exchange
56:28
order. A bit box today.
56:30
All right, I didn't bring it up Nico cuz I saw Matt wanted to
56:33
say some. If you if you want to add a few
56:35
more things. I saw we cut to off, bro.
56:38
So it was about the air horn. All right, the Prototype of an
56:42
app that Needs some work, you know, before it's going to be
56:46
viable. But but basically what it'll do
56:49
is, it'll, it's a very, very simple app where somebody who's
56:52
speaking or performing right? Like on stage or on a street
56:56
corner or whatever, can just put up a QR code, this would be like
57:00
there Ln URL, you know, kind of kind of, you know, QR code.
57:04
And you could scan it with this app that I'm talking about.
57:08
And then anytime they said or did something that you
57:10
appreciated instead of clapping, right?
57:13
Right, you would just remember just tap this button air horn,
57:18
but every top of the button is sending them like 100 SATs
57:26
performances and likes. Imagine somebody's birthday
57:29
party as like a tradition, you know, you just go to the
57:32
birthday party and then like after singing, Happy Birthday,
57:34
everybody just goes prayer where where where, where will and
57:36
you're just go, you just flooding them with Bitcoin, its
57:40
goal of amazing. I have the Prototype of this
57:42
thing working. I don't know if people Like it
57:44
or not, but it's the cool hate the idea of, you know, of, just
57:48
a cool way to send people Bitcoin, let's because it's a
57:51
great idea, it's a great idea. Alright.
57:53
Aunty Nica, this first one. I'm pretty sure it is safe for
57:57
YouTube, but it's by Aetna a meme and it goes hashtag
58:01
Bitcoin. And we got, you know, I'm not
58:05
going to say her name but you know who she is and it goes,
58:08
take your Bitcoin out of the exchange.
58:10
Damn it. Alright.
58:12
The next one is. Bitcoin in tacos and it's Orange
58:16
County Choppers goes by the dip. I already bought then by again.
58:19
It keeps dipping buy some more. I'm out of money.
58:22
Anyway, I feel I feel you Bitcoin in takas.
58:26
That's the vibe right now. And then this, by my buddy, mr.
58:30
Rowe bar at the Bitcoin doctor and he tagged Us in this one.
58:33
It goes corporate media, pretending to find inflation
58:36
fixes and it's jail. Byron picking up some pennies
58:40
off the ground and showing it to the camera.
58:43
Yes. Does inflation fixes really be
58:45
working? Another one that is definitely
58:49
safe for you to Meco. This is by animal glass works
58:52
and it's hashtag Bitcoin you goes.
58:54
Oh fuck you're going to make me be greedy when others are
58:57
fearful Warren Buffett on another unnamed, you know, sex
59:04
worker on the internet. Yeah, it Humpty.
59:08
Why, why do we gotta get him in a little bit mad for the culture
59:12
for the culture? The next one Is lit on.
59:14
And and I'm that these last ones is as doubling or tripling down
59:18
on the energy crisis in Europe and it goes, you know, the guy
59:22
that's smiling old man in pain. He goes Humanity has never
59:26
before transition to a less dense energy source and there's
59:30
no punch line. It's just pain, it's just pain.
59:34
And this other one. Of course guys the meme
59:37
sometimes are just words and not necessarily pictures and this
59:40
one's by safety and I absolutely loved it.
59:42
And he goes the Fiat. Grew up dreaming of flying cars
59:45
and grew old dreaming of 24-hour electricity, but remember there
59:49
is no inflation. Yes, they aren't robbing your
59:52
future, and then this one, it's not even a Bitcoin, ER, but it's
59:55
on the news of EU will propose a cap on Russian gas and it's the
59:59
EU stomach. You soon back in the Stone Age,
1:00:03
just trying to get warm with sticks and stones and then the
1:00:06
last one, another meme of course I curated match a timeline and
1:00:12
anytime I can dunk Con the, my roads thesis, I have to do it.
1:00:16
So, the idea of paid Express Lanes on public, highways is an
1:00:19
Abomination and proof that they are laughing at us.
1:00:22
We told them taxes were for the roads, and then when you use the
1:00:25
money to build, paid express lanes, get them.
1:00:31
Anyways, guys, this is, this is a very special meeting review

I was like I really want the sure.

He's like you need a you need to buy this.
1:03:36
Like you know what? All right, he's like it's fat.
1:03:40
It's like it's faster than your computer.
1:03:41
I was like alright, fine, a big boy node, that's faster my
1:03:44
computer. I'm down, I'm down, our down
1:03:46
bad. Yeah.
1:03:48
So let me give you the short and long of this thing, okay?
1:03:51
This is the next generation of personal servers and Bitcoin.
1:03:55
This is not a Raspberry Pi. This is an Intel i7 4.9 GHz. 32
1:04:01
gigs of RAM, 2, terabyte nvme supercomputer for people who
1:04:06
want the rocket ship, right? Individuals, who just want the
1:04:09
biggest and baddest as well as content creators and
1:04:13
organizations. So whether it's a church, a
1:04:16
school, a meetup group or just your friends and family or
1:04:20
you're a content creator who wants to reach large audiences,
1:04:24
you You have to have something like this.
1:04:26
The Raspberry Pi just simply isn't going to be able to handle
1:04:29
the kind of computer memory and disk needs that our Raspberry Pi
1:04:34
can accommodate. So this is a bigger battery
1:04:37
Embassy. It comes with a new version of
1:04:40
Embassy OS. That is based on a Linux, distro
1:04:44
called Puro. Ask that disables the Intel
1:04:47
management engine by default. So there is a large and very
1:04:51
well known vulnerability with Intel computers that are We
1:04:55
backdoored by Intel and this is due to the Intel management
1:04:59
engine firmware that lies just underneath the upper level
1:05:03
operating system. We disable it here, right?
1:05:06
We have eliminated Intel's backdoor capabilities with the
1:05:11
embassy probes and not only is it a badass supercomputer?
1:05:14
That's going to enable you to run any variety of self-hosted
1:05:17
Open Source, software for both you and your family and your
1:05:20
community and your followers, but it is doing it in, arguably
1:05:24
the most Private. Sovereign way that any personal
1:05:26
server has ever done. So we've been working on this
1:05:30
for a year. We've partnered with pure
1:05:33
purism, the company to bring this to Market because we are
1:05:36
not, you know, our core competency is not Hardware, they
1:05:40
are great at Hardware, so it's a great partnership for start9 and
1:05:44
this will be the standard in Sovereign Computing for the
1:05:49
foreseeable future. It's going to be hard to beat
1:05:51
something like this. So yeah, it's regular season
1:05:54

1:05:58
