BREAKING: Mass Adoption of Bitcoin Lightning Network | EP 962 · Simply Bitcoin

0:03
It's. All going to zero against
0:05
Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
0:15
You're. Against Bitcoin?
0:17
You're against freedom, yo. Welcome to some of the Bitcoin
0:28
Lab that your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
0:30
revolution company you can use. Culture Matic Warfare will be
0:32
your guide through this separation of money in state.
0:34
Ladies and gentlemen, we are streaming live from El Salvador
0:40
at the having party. We're here with one of the
0:42
organizers and legendary memer, Greg Zack.
0:45
How you doing, Greg? I'm.
0:45
Doing well. That was good.
0:47
That was a very special moment yesterday.
0:50
We were looking at each other. I mean, you're I everyone's
0:53
like, look like Greg, I can't believe you looked at Nico that
0:57
way. And I'm just like pointing out
0:59
to everybody that he was looking at my hamburger that way.
1:02
I was so hungry. Yeah.
1:05
I've been running around all day and, you know, carrying a lot of
1:08
heavy stuff, sweating my ass off.
1:09
And then you hopped on stage with that cheeseburger.
1:12
I was super jealous. I just, I I couldn't even look
1:14
at the, the, the people in the audience anymore.
1:16
I was just staring at that that burger and you wouldn't give me
1:18
any. And I was that was a little.
1:19
Dude, I I I literally ate like five of them.
1:22
They're delicious On stage. Yes.
1:24
No, I'm not on stage. On stage.
1:25
I only eat with one. But I ate like five of those
1:27
cheeseburgers. They're absolutely delicious.
1:29
I I mean, yeah, yeah, it's a it's part of the experience is
1:32
the cheeseburger. Anyways, it's been absolutely
1:34
epic at the having party. They've put together a great
1:37
Bitcoin event. I wouldn't call it like a
1:39
Bitcoin conference, like a party like it's.
1:42
The having party, it's an event. It's.
1:44
An event, right? You know, wait.
1:45
Wait, wait, can I acknowledge the fact that I got rug pulled?
1:47
I thought this was a party and not a conference.
1:50
Greg, can you can you acknowledge the elephant in the
1:53
room? This is this is a party we have,
1:56
we have, we have a drinking game tonight.
1:58
Wait, what are you talking about?
2:01
It's the The Thirsty Bits drinking competition this
2:04
evening, so come and join us for that.
2:06
Anyways, this has been absolutely epic.
2:08
El Salvador has been epics, beautiful resort.
2:11
So we're going to stream live for you guys are going to have a
2:13
great show today. And I put Brian Armstrong on the
2:17
thumbnail and I can see that already triggered a lot of
2:19
people. It was recently announced that
2:21
finally Coinbase, which is so funny, they're going to use a
2:24
third party to integrate Lightning like all their 3000
2:28
employees, like they can't do it themselves.
2:30
They're going to use a third party to do it.
2:32
Whatever. They need a way for Coinbase to
2:34
go down when when the price rockets and so they have to
2:37
implement a third party that they can break when they need
2:39
to. That they can blame.
2:40
That they can blame. So I find that part like, they
2:43
hate Bitcoin so much that they're just like, you know
2:46
what? We're going to do it.
2:47
But look. This is why it took them so many
2:49
years. They had to find a way to break
2:50
layer two before they implemented it.
2:53
Exactly. And it kind of defeats the
2:55
purpose of a lot of the shit coins that they're selling,
2:56
they're peddling to, you know, their their clients and
2:59
customers and whatnot. OK, so why is this a big deal?
3:01
And the reason that it's a big deal is because Coinbase, as
3:04
much as you dislike them, right? And I completely agree, Bitcoin,
3:07
well, is the best place to build your automatic self custody
3:09
Bitcoin stack. They have 100 million clients,
3:13
right? And a lot of them are going to
3:16
get exposed to the Lightning Network for the first time.
3:19
And that's kind of a big deal. And especially like, I just
3:22
bought these waters not too, not too long ago.
3:26
And I asked the lady at the front desk, I'm like, I don't
3:28
have cash on me. She's like, no, don't worry, you
3:30
can pay in Bitcoin. Literally.
3:32
I went to the convenience store, took out my Zeus wallets,
3:35
connected with my Get Albie account and paid in Lightning,
3:39
which is absolutely surreal. So, you know, this is a real
3:42
thing. I told you guys on yesterday's
3:43
show or the day before I paid the immigration fee, whatever,
3:47
with Lightning as well. It's crazy.
3:49
I've been using Bitcoin to transact in the country.
3:52
It's legal tender. It's absolutely surreal.
3:54
So it is a big deal. This is a massive deal that
3:57
Coinbase finally, begrudgingly is integrating Lightning, and
4:02
it's absolutely hilarious because they're using a third
4:04
party to do so. So standard.
4:07
Yeah, So it's going to be epic. And the having party today we
4:10
got, we got some some interesting events.
4:13
Greg, do you want to drop some some sauce?
4:15
Yeah, give them leave the audience with some FOMO before
4:18
you got to run to the Mainstage. All right, so we've got a couple
4:23
of games planned for everybody. We've got a basketball shootout
4:26
with Sean today. We've got the Thirsty Bitch
4:29
Drinking Cup competition every morning for people who are less
4:33
inclined for the drinking and more inclined for the sporting.
4:35
We have running and workouts. And then just because there it
4:40
is, Bitcoin central, we are going to have a few like
4:43
workshops. So we've got MTCBTC doing a
4:46
border wallet session today. He's going to use a child on
4:51
stage to show how easy it is to memorize the the pictures
4:55
instead of a seed phrase, make it easier to cross borders with
4:57
your Bitcoin. We've got Preston Pish and
5:00
Lawrence the Park talking about the downfall of the dollar today
5:05
and we've got Anders doing a a toxic happy hour today.
5:08
We've we've got events full that folks can come to or if you want
5:13
to just hang by the pool or at the beach and have some surveys
5:15
as that's, that is perfectly fine too.
5:18
That's where I'm at. I lost Opti once again
5:22
yesterday. No, no, no, you didn't.
5:24
No, you didn't. My phone didn't work when I
5:25
landed in El Salvador and I somehow made it to the hotel.
5:30
It was a a treacherous trek, but I'm here.
5:32
I made it. I also discovered that Opti.
5:35
Don't say this. Opti.
5:38
'S. Opti's a very responsible
5:40
individual, no. And also we have a simply
5:44
Bitcoin live that we're doing from the like the the beach as
5:48
well, but it's definitely not going to be live because there's
5:51
no Internet there but. It will be.
5:53
Recorded, right. It will be recorded like all of.
5:56
Y'all, ESP. Spaces so it will.
5:57
Be live for people that are there.
6:00
Yeah, so technically it is live anyways.
6:03
We also have a very special guest.
6:07
Five line to answer your question 5.
6:10
We also have a we also, we also have a very special guest today.
6:13
We have Satoshi Nakamoto himself.
6:16
We have sat. How you doing, Satoshi?
6:20
I'm doing good. I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto.
6:24
I know who Satoshi is and I'm not saying because Satoshi
6:28
lives. Whoa.
6:32
Well, I was joking about him being Satoshi Nakamoto.
6:35
Now I'm not. So that's that's crazy SAT.
6:39
It's just dropping fire. Anyways, so we have sat on
6:43
today. We're gonna talk to him during
6:44
the culture segment. Opti, what do we have lined up?
6:46
Yeah, so SAT is the developer of Lightning Goats.
6:49
So guys, we wanna do a a live stress test and you guys can do
6:55
this live. You can I I'm think it's feeding
6:59
goats with lightning as as SAT said before we went live
7:03
Lightning goats is doing more for lightning than Coinbase ever
7:06
was so shouts out to SAT out there but yeah guys we we got
7:12
SAT from lightning goats and I think we got a we got a great
7:16
show for you guys so this is going to be great.
7:19
Yeah, absolutely. It's going to be great.
7:20
And once again guys, we've been streaming all all week from El
7:24
Salvador, the land of freedom, land of opportunity, land of
7:28
prosperity. And we got one more show for you
7:30
guys tomorrow from El Salvador as well.
7:34
And then next week Opti and I and the whole Simply crew really
7:38
is going to be in Texas for Bitlock Boom, which is going to
7:41
be absolutely awesome. Anyways, no more delays jump,
7:44
it's straight into the show. But before we do that, I do want
7:48
to give a very, very special shout out to our sponsor and of
7:52
course I am talking about it's very hard to do on the fly.
7:59
Here we go. And of course I'm talking about
8:02
Bitcoin. Well, Bitcoin well is the best
8:04
place to build your automatic self custody Bitcoin stack.
8:08
That's right, you can't buy Bitcoin on Bitcoin.
8:10
Well, unless you're going to take self custody, which
8:13
perfectly aligns with the simply Bitcoin ethos of the separation
8:16
of money and state. They're publicly traded company
8:19
coming out of Canada, recently expanded to all 50 states, and
8:23
they're on a mission to enable independence.
8:26
So go check out bitcoinwell.com today.
8:29
They also have Bitcoin Well Jackpot contest.
8:33
That's not updated, but currently the current jackpot is
8:36
roughly about 4.1 million stats. I think it's definitely a little
8:39
bit higher than that by now. The way that you enter is you go
8:41
to bitcoinwell.com/contest, you sign up to the platform, you buy
8:44
Bitcoin, you earn points, and then you could put those points
8:47
towards the contest. If you're an existing user of
8:49
Bitcoin, well, you go to the reward section on the Bitcoin
8:52
Well dashboard and you can. Every time you buy Bitcoin,
8:55
you're in points, like I said, and then you can contribute that
8:57
to the jackpot. They've also given away prizes
9:00
as well, like a said Bunny book, passport by foundation devices
9:04
and seed plates. So you know, go check out
9:07
bitcoinwell.com, the best place to build your automatic self
9:10
custody stack. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
9:12
let's get some numbers. Let's do this.
9:14
Here we go the Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
9:20
really secure? Is your seed phrase really
9:23
secure? Stamp seeds?
9:24
Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
9:27
hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
9:31
instead of just writing them on paper.
9:34
Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
9:37
Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
9:40
You want to put your generational wealth on one of
9:42
the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
9:45
Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
9:49
hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
9:52
aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
9:55
apart and pieces falling everywhere.
9:58
Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
10:01
produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
10:03
waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
10:06
All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
10:09
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
10:12
Stamp your seed on stamp seed. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
10:16
I made it incredibly easy for you guys.
10:17
What you could do is you could scan the QR code on your screen.
10:20
It'll take you directly to the stamp seed website where you can
10:23
use promo code simply to get 15% off.
10:26
Don't store your generational wealth on paper, store it on one
10:29
of the strongest metals on planet earth.
10:31
Stamp it on titanium. For anyone who's confused, you
10:34
don't send their seed. You don't send your seed phrase
10:37
to stamp seed. They literally send you a stamp
10:40
seed kit to your crib to your house where you can literally
10:43
take a hammer and literally stamp it into titanium at home.
10:47
In the privacy of your own home of course.
10:48
So anyways, promo code simply get for anything on their
10:52
website at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is 68,000 and
10:57
$30 Stats per dollar 1470 block height 837,693 having estimate
11:05
April 20th. Oh, it's back.
11:07
It's back to 420, dude. It would be so fitting if the
11:10
halving was on 4/20 that. Mine, yeah, mine is slow, slow
11:14
down the block propagation. We need the.
11:16
We need the memes. Opti literally has the horns as
11:19
the top. One the number one sound.
11:21
So dangerous. All right, blocks to halving
11:25
2000. I already said that total
11:26
lightning network capacity 4399. Bitcoin capacity value 299
11:31
million U.S. dollars Realized monetary inflation 1.73% The
11:35
market capitalization of Bitcoin currently sitting pretty at 1.34
11:39
trillion U.S. dollars. Bitcoin versus gold market cap
11:42
9.68% needs to get over that 10% number of course.
11:48
Anyways, the video that I want to talk to you guys about today
11:52
is American Huddle Being American Huddle.
11:55
And he went on Peter Mccormack's podcast What Bitcoin Did.
12:00
And I believe the name of the podcast, the name of that
12:02
episode is You're Not Late to Bitcoin.
12:06
So here's about a one minute clip.
12:07
And again, you know, shout out to American Hot on, of course,
12:10
Peter McCormack. So let's check it out.
12:12
I got a text yesterday saying for somebody saying no, I think
12:15
I'm too late to buy some more. I always just reply, well, I'm
12:18
not selling. Yeah.
12:19
So what? What do you think?
12:20
I think. Well, or people want the The
12:23
most annoying one is people want to know the next Bitcoin.
12:25
What's the next Bitcoin like dude, it's Bitcoin.
12:28
Thanks. I.
12:30
Fucking hate that question. My God.
12:32
But no. I mean, the answer I say is
12:35
just, hey, listen, you know, it was really expensive for me.
12:38
Also, I've I felt like $200 Bitcoin was expensive.
12:40
And like, I know that's a mindfuck when you hear that
12:42
today, but eventually, here's the framework to think about.
12:46
When the price moves $200 today, I don't notice it.
12:49
It probably moved $200 a hundred times while we're having this
12:52
conversation. I didn't notice or care.
12:54
It doesn't mean anything to me. And eventually, one of these
12:57
days, the price will move $65,000 and you literally won't
13:00
notice or care. And I know that sounds stupid,
13:03
but that is going to happen because are you really going to
13:06
notice a difference between 2.62 million versus 2.68 million in
13:10
your account? No.
13:11
You're going to look at it and you're going to go still 2.6,
13:14
still doing good. You're not going to really care
13:16
about the 60 grand. So like the 60 grand, believe it
13:19
or not, is de minimis. It's a rounding error, even
13:22
though it's the price of a really pretty nice car.
13:26
So absolutely, you know, like and and I'll just like talk
13:30
about it from like personal experience.
13:32
Like Opti, do you remember when, like, we're buying, it was like
13:36
$100 for a million SAT's? That was like the longest time.
13:39
I think, you know, the cheapest I bought Bitcoin was like, what?
13:42
Like six, six, $700.00. And I was like, dude, like, this
13:45
is so expensive. You know, I missed the train.
13:50
Like, God damn it, people are buying this under $100.
13:53
People are buying this at a dollar.
13:54
And I was like, dude, this is so expensive now I'm like, now you
13:57
tell me $600.00 Bitcoin. I'm like, bro, what the fuck?
13:59
Like, holy shit. Like, I want that, right.
14:03
So yeah, I completely agree with American Auto.
14:05
I think he said like $300.00 Bitcoin, you know, once this
14:09
thing inevitably reaches, you know, the millions of dollars,
14:11
Which, again, seems so, like, inconceivable at this moment.
14:15
Just like it seemed inconceivable that Bitcoin was
14:17
going to be at 70, imagine if you knew when Bitcoin was at
14:21
like $600.00 or $300.00 in American Huddle's case that you
14:26
know this thing was going to hit $74,000.
14:29
Like you would have done anything in your power to stack
14:31
as much as humanly possible because of the, you know, the
14:36
potential like that that was in front of you.
14:38
And I think, you know, we're in this moment in time.
14:41
And what was different back then I would say from a risk adjusted
14:46
perspective, I I think right now it's it's a lot safer of a bet.
14:50
And the reason for that is because you have public
14:52
companies like MicroStrategy proving that the Bitcoin
14:55
strategy is working. You have of course you know
14:59
beautiful countries like El Salvador where we are right now
15:02
proving that you know, adopting, you know, making Bitcoin legal
15:05
tender was the right decision. Putting Bitcoin on the on the
15:09
country's balance sheet was the right decision.
15:12
Both. Michael Saylor was vindicated
15:14
Naimbukele not to mention, you know, the fact that the Bitcoin
15:18
ETF is the most popular ETF in history.
15:23
It's already in the top five out of 3100 ETFs that are live
15:27
currently in the US and that's a big mother effing deal, right.
15:32
So that's what I got to say about that, you know, So yeah, I
15:36
I I agree with Huddle. And another thing also with the
15:39
with like the, the early concept, I love the way that
15:41
like Sailor describes it where he's talking about like buying
15:44
real estate in New York City. And it's like, yeah, like the
15:48
best time was to buy it in the 1600s and then the second best
15:51
time was to buy it in the 1700s and the best time was to buy it
15:54
in the 1800s. But even if you bought it in the
15:56
1980s and 1990s, like that wasn't over an amazing trade.
16:00
So I really see it like that. And the reason for that is
16:03
because, you know, real estate in New York is is scarce.
16:06
There's only so, like it's literally an island, right?
16:08
Like you can. There's only so much place to
16:10
build, right? And I would say Bitcoin is
16:13
absolutely scarce. Like we know that there's only
16:15
21 million Bitcoin estimated 3 to 4 Millionaire, Lost one
16:19
millionaire Satoshi's coins, who's on the live show today.
16:22
And yeah so you know it it's it's it's I, I I agree with
16:28
Hoddle. I I still think we're early.
16:29
I still think there's a tremendous amount of opportunity
16:32
a minimum of 100 X like minimum. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
16:36
on this? And then we'll we'll pass it on
16:37
to SAT. Yeah, I mean, first of all, I
16:39
really love Huddle's framing. And you know, maybe I'm like a
16:42
huddle stand because he was like my Big Brother when I first got
16:45
into Bitcoin. He was like yelling at us on
16:47
Twitter like, yo, stack your balls off.
16:49
You don't want to miss this opportunity.
16:51
So I absolutely love Huddle's framing on a lot of things.
16:54
But like, to his point, you know, he was buying at $200.
16:57
He was saying that if you're just now buying Bitcoin at 65 K,
17:01
one day there will be times when the Bitcoin price moves by 65 K
17:05
and you're you're not even going to flinch about it.
17:07
It's going to be normal. And I was thinking about myself.
17:09
I got into Bitcoin at 10K and now I know right now the meme is
17:13
like Omega candle 10K movements. But like, I'm not going to be
17:17
surprised when we're moving by 10K movements and it's like it's
17:20
happening in real time that the price movements after a certain
17:24
while, maybe I'm like desensitized to it where it just
17:27
like doesn't really affect me, you know, it's like, yeah, OK,
17:29
my network just got decimated, but at least I'm holding Sats.
17:31
I can get more Sats. Like the the name of the game is
17:34
acquiring more Bitcoin. And then to your point, me and
17:37
Nico still do the math of a million Sats equals $100.
17:41
And then you go do math and it's like, wait, it's like $700.00
17:44
for a million Sats right now. Like this is crazy.
17:46
And really I always go back to 1 fundamental idea.
17:51
And I know you guys don't talk to big or people outside of
17:54
bitcoiners in real life, but if you do have conversations with
17:57
normal people, you ask them about Bitcoin, most of them
18:00
think you're still crazy. To me, that just is is more
18:04
signs that we're early to this thing.
18:06
I know there's statistics out there of like there's what maybe
18:09
like 1% of the population are bitcoiners right now.
18:12
But I venture to guess that even in that 1%, it's a even smaller
18:16
percentage of people that are actually hardcore bitcoiners,
18:20
which just keeps showing me constantly that we're still
18:22
super early to this. I mean, there might be 100
18:25
million people with Bitcoin exposure.
18:27
There's 8 billion people on planet Earth.
18:29
Like, you're still early to this.
18:31
It's going up forever, Laura, Like Infinity divided by 21
18:34
million. If you think $70,000 Bitcoin is
18:37
is an expensive Bitcoin, then you really don't understand
18:40
where this is going. Like of course, $70,000 is
18:43
pretty much, you know, a normal person salary in America.
18:46
So it is a lot of money when you think of it in that terms, but
18:49
where you think this is going, it's it's literally a rounding
18:53
error like American Hotel was saying.
18:54
And and I want to connect this to an idea we were talking
18:57
about. I think at the beginning of the
18:58
week or the end of last week, we were talking to our friend and
19:02
he said he was like chilling at the pool and and talking to like
19:05
high net worth individuals. I think they're the person he
19:07
was talking to was like working at a bank.
19:09
I forget the details. But anyways, it was a high net
19:11
worth individual. And he basically was saying what
19:15
we say all the time where it's like you don't care about the
19:18
price of Bitcoin when you know it's going up forever.
19:21
So like they're moving slow. They don't care the difference
19:24
between A70K Bitcoin or A55K Bitcoin or 70K and 100K Bitcoin.
19:29
They're like, if this is going to $1,000,000, I really don't
19:33
care when I buy Bitcoin. I just need to build a position
19:36
and this is where we're at right now.
19:38
It doesn't matter the price of Bitcoin.
19:39
The only thing that matters is the is the SAT under your
19:42
control that you control with your own private keys.
19:45
That's what really matters here. And and of course, back to the
19:47
basic meme, you can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin, You don't
19:50
have to buy a whole Bitcoin. You just continue to stack.
19:52
It's either saving in dollars something that loses value or
19:55
saving in something that stores your value long term.
19:59
And that's Bitcoin. So.
20:01
We're still so early. Yeah, I I agree 100%.
20:04
Anyways, I'm gonna pass it on to SAT.
20:05
SAT what do you what's your take on what American Hoddle was
20:09
saying? Do you believe that we're still
20:10
early? Do you still believe that
20:12
there's opportunity for people that are looking into Bitcoin,
20:15
but perhaps they feel a little bit sticker shocked by the
20:19
price. What's your take on that?
20:22
Well then that's just Fiat thinking, You know, it's never
20:26
too late to stack Sats. Someday in the future, that's
20:32
all you're going to be able to do is stack Sats.
20:34
There won't be any dollars or rubles or other shit coins, you
20:40
know, And I have to comment, you know, 60 something, Thousand.
20:45
What is this, an Amiga candle for ants?
20:49
I mean, come on. I love that.
20:52
I love that. Yeah.
20:53
And no, I gotta agree. I gotta agree with that.
20:56
And again, I think these are the types of things where you only
21:02
really realize, as time progresses and you start to see
21:06
it, there's no way. Like, we talk about it, right?
21:10
We talk about $1,000,000 Bitcoin and you know, as Bitcoiners we
21:14
know that. We know it's gonna get there.
21:15
It's absolute scarcity and all that stuff.
21:18
But you know, you don't really feel it.
21:20
Like you truly, truly feel it. Like just like I knew that
21:23
Bitcoin was gonna be made legal tender, just like I knew like a
21:26
a public company was eventually gonna buy this thing.
21:30
It's one thing that you know that's gonna happen because of
21:32
the game theory. And then the other thing
21:34
happening is essentially it actually happening, right?
21:37
Like I didn't know it was gonna be, Michael said.
21:38
I didn't know it was gonna be El Salvador, right?
21:41
So we know that it's gonna hit $1,000,000.
21:45
We just don't know when. And I think it's gonna feel
21:48
effing. Great when that happens.
21:50
And I think when it gets to a million, then I think it's gonna
21:52
go to 2 million, then it's gonna go to 5 million, then it's gonna
21:55
go to 10 million, right? What's the math?
21:57
Infinity divided by 21 million. So.
21:59
So yeah, I completely agree with American Huddle.
22:01
There's tremendous amount of opportunity here.
22:03
And the only question is are you gonna get on the train or are
22:06
you gonna get left behind? Really.
22:07
That's it. It's it's what Pierre Rashard
22:09
said. It's not going to $1,000,000 per
22:12
Bitcoin, it's going to $1,000,000 per SAT.
22:15
Dude, I got I I gotta like, I gotta like level up my game,
22:18
dude. You're not bull tarded man.
22:20
Rashard is like, you know, he's like a serious guy and like the
22:24
conviction that he says it with like and it's like total
22:27
deadpan, like 100% serious. He's like $1 million per SAT.
22:31
I can't even do it, bro. Like he's so good at that, you
22:35
know? So anyways, all right ladies and
22:37
gentlemen, let's talk about Coinbase adopting Lightning kind
22:41
of using a third party, what the implications of that are going
22:44
to be. I think the implications
22:46
personally are going to be absolutely huge.
22:48
So let's get, let's get into it, let's get to the news, here we
22:50
go. And someone in the comments said
22:51
BTC Believer can't wait till one SAT equals $1.00.
22:56
It's going to be awesome. I think that's $1 million per
22:58
Bitcoin. 100 million. 100 It's a hundred.
23:02
Oh, wow. Mass is hard.
23:06
Let's let's get to 1,000,000 first.
23:08
All right, everybody, let's hit the news.
23:10
We have a lot to talk about. Let's check it out.
23:11
Here we go. But before I want to play this.
23:15
Well, because. They want to.
23:16
Sell. It eventually, Michael.
23:18
I mean, let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, sure,
23:20
some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the
23:23
people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the
23:27
assets at a profit. So I.
23:29
Guess. Let me say it differently.
23:30
People that use Fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name
23:35
for them. We call them poor, OK?
23:39
The Daily News I want to give a shout out to our sponsor,
23:44
Foundation Devices. It's self custody done right.
23:48
They built a premium grade hardware wallet called Passport
23:51
right here in the US. It's fully open source and
23:54
verifiable. It's the most intuitive Bitcoin
23:57
wallet designed with the UX, reminiscent of a simple feature
24:01
phone so you will know how to navigate it and use it the
24:04
moment you pick it up. Get your Bitcoin off exchanges
24:07
and into your into your own hands in just a few minutes.
24:10
Experience the Peace of Mind that comes with taking ownership
24:13
of your own keys. After a massive sell out during
24:16
Bitcoin Miami 2023, the passport is back in stock at
24:20
foundationdevices.com. Bitcoin only, open source,
24:24
Verifiable completely air gap security model, gorgeous design,
24:27
craft premium grade materials. If you're thinking about getting
24:31
your Bitcoin off exchange changes, this is the one for
24:33
you. Check out the passport link in
24:36
the show notes below to learn more.
24:37
All right guys, before we jump into the news, you can use the
24:41
QR code on your screen right now to take you directly to the
24:47
Foundation Devices website, where you can get yourself a
24:50
Passport hardware wallet. Remember guys, not your keys,
24:54
not your cheese. If the Bitcoin that you're quote
24:57
UN quote buying is not in cold storage and you're the only
25:03
person that has custody of those keys, it's not really your
25:06
Bitcoin. That's the reality.
25:07
Self custody is a revolution. Get yourself a hardware wallet.
25:10
And of course you recommend our sponsor, Passport by Foundation
25:13
Devices. By the way, OPTI said this to me
25:15
the other day cuz I paired it up.
25:18
If you pair up the Passport with the Envoy app, it is so freaking
25:22
easy. It is awesome.
25:23
It's a really, really great experience.
25:25
It's so smooth. I had way too much Bitcoin on a
25:29
phone wallet and I was like, all right, I'm going to El Salvador.
25:32
I might leave my phone and I set it up with Envoy and I literally
25:36
texted Nico out and I'm like, dude, it's such a it's so easy.
25:40
It's such a smooth process. Absolutely love it.
25:42
Wait, wait, did you flip the camera?
25:45
No, no. We got sessions here looking all
25:46
cute. On the other side of this,
25:47
we're. Gonna We're gonna work.
25:49
We're gonna work session in. We'll work him in anyways.
25:53
OK, so let's talk about this. I have Brian Armstrong on
25:58
screen. Look, let's get sessions in
26:01
here. I really want to get his
26:03
thoughts as the premier Bitcoin tutorial.
26:09
Here we go, bombing the show. We're doing it live.
26:12
We're doing it live. We'll do it live.
26:15
OK, so why do I have a picture of Brian Armstrong on screen?
26:20
This is going to be a very uncomfortable truth for a lot of
26:23
Bitcoiners on the desk. Can you move the camera back?
26:27
This is going to be a very uncomfortable truth for a lot of
26:29
bitcoiners. But I'll show you the numbers.
26:32
I think the numbers speak for themselves.
26:35
Coinbase had 108 million users in 2022, up from 56 million
26:42
people in 2021. This equates to 92.8% year on
26:48
year growth. The platform's user base is up
26:51
over 100 X in the past nine years and recently Coinbase just
26:57
announced. Of course they can't use all
26:59
their 3000 or something developers, They have to use a
27:02
third party, which is hilarious. Coinbase partners with
27:05
Lightspark for Lightning Network integration.
27:07
This is something that Brian Armstrong promised for a very,
27:09
very long time and they finally they you know, they seems like
27:14
they finally pulled the trigger. So I'm going to read some of
27:16
this goes on to say thrilled to announce that Coinbase has
27:19
selected Lightspark to enable the Bitcoin Lightning Network
27:23
across its platforms and services.
27:25
Yet another significant milestone for Lightning.
27:27
Lightning to many millions of new people and 100 countries
27:30
coming soon. It goes on to say the
27:34
integration allows Coin Base to benefit from scalable, reliable,
27:37
and fully optimized node infrastructure that provides a
27:40
deep suite of functionality through a simple and intuitive
27:43
interface. Goes on to say we're excited to
27:45
partner with Light Spark to eliminate payment barriers and
27:48
enable fast and cheaper Bitcoin transactions through support for
27:52
the Bitcoin Lightning Network. That's AVP of corporate and
27:55
business development at Coinbase.
27:56
It's interesting to say because it kind of defeats the purpose
27:58
of a lot of the shit coins that they're peddling to people,
28:00
right? Lighting up all the Coinbase
28:03
touch points with Lightning will profoundly impact the overall
28:05
network usage at a time when it's needed most given the
28:08
rising price of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Layer one fees added
28:11
Light Spark in the press release.
28:13
Bryan Armstrong with a tweet has been great working with Light
28:16
Spark on our Lightning integration which should be
28:19
launching soon. So I'm going to say this and I
28:22
know it's going to unsettle a lot of bitcoiners.
28:25
This man right here, you know, the CEO and founder of the
28:29
world's largest shit coin casino, which also by the way,
28:33
custodies the vast majority of the Bitcoin ETFs.
28:37
Bitcoin. This man right here, I'm telling
28:41
you, I'm going to get shit for it, but I'm going to say it
28:43
anyway, has probably done more for liking adoption than anyone
28:48
else just because of the amount of users that Coinbase has.
28:53
That just the reality. I read you guys there.
28:55
It's 100 million users, no Bitcoin on RAMP even comes close
28:59
to that. I'm sure they will one day shout
29:02
out Bitcoin well, but you know right now just Coinbase has a
29:06
huge head start. They've been around since 2013.
29:08
They're they entice people with, you know, these gains and memes,
29:11
coins and all this bullshit. But you know, maybe they let the
29:15
the Lightning Network Trojan horse in, man and maybe it is a
29:19
unpopular opinion, but I'm going to stick to it dude.
29:22
Like the fact that they have so many users and they're
29:24
integrating Lightning Network to the platform like it's a massive
29:28
deal and and as much as Bitcoiners hate Coinbase.
29:32
Yeah, I would I would echo that 100%.
29:34
I I again I there's a lot of stuff that Brian Armstrong
29:37
Armstrong does that I do not like.
29:40
This is not one of those things and you know at the at the end
29:43
of the day, yeah they've got a massive user base.
29:46
I think you know, I you're you're right in, in terms of how
29:52
much this will do for Lightning. Like in in terms of number of
29:56
new users that will now be Privy to Lightning, this single move,
30:01
yes, that does a lot. But why did he make that move?
30:06
Because of the work that the people did before him, right.
30:08
You got mallards out there. You got all these people that
30:10
have been championing Lightning and building out the
30:13
infrastructure and you have all of the plebs that have been like
30:17
guys, what are you doing? Well like how are you still not
30:21
on Lightning and like I guess better late than never, you
30:25
know. But it it was I I think they got
30:28
to a point where they could not ignore it anymore.
30:30
Right? Like this we're we're in a
30:32
country right now where like everybody has a lightning
30:35
wallet. Right?
30:35
Like this is you can't it's too big to ignore.
30:39
And and this is the reality of it and I love what you said.
30:42
This absolutely all of the use case, so it's fast and quick.
30:46
Use nano like go fuck yourself. It it, it defeats the purpose
30:51
And also you know Ben you you dedicate your life to making
30:54
some of the best tutorials in Bitcoin right?
30:56
And some of those tutorials are are related to lightning walls
30:59
and I think I even called you when wallet of Satoshi got
31:02
rugged in the US and I'm like bro like and I said I'm like I
31:06
said bluntly I'm like this lighting fucking sucks because
31:09
it wasn't like whatever I ended up figuring it out I had get all
31:12
be I I connected it with my Zeus wallet aren't you proud of me.
31:16
And now it works Florida State and then of course the primal
31:19
app is so badass right with the wallet kind of integrated and I
31:22
kind of figured it out and I had to like you know figure out
31:24
because I love lightning. I love the the user kind of
31:27
experience. So like you know, from a
31:30
tutorial basis. I mean, dude, you're you're
31:33
going to get a fucked confuse when a lot of these shit coiners
31:36
start using the Lightning Network.
31:38
Yeah, that's probably a good thing that I should probably be
31:41
are. You a fan of Brian Armstrong?
31:44
I wouldn't go that far, but you know, maybe he'll he'll funnel
31:48
some more viewership. I'm going to.
31:49
Unfortunately, what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have
31:52
to get a Coinbase account and show how to do a Lightning
31:55
withdrawal. Dude, that's a oh.
31:57
My wow entering the dark side. It's going to be I'll I'll I'll
32:02
be like here's how to withdraw from Coinbase from the lat for
32:04
the last time via lightning. Dude, yeah, it's it's it's so
32:08
crazy. It's so crazy.
32:09
But look also you you said a really good point and I do want
32:12
to bring that up, right? We would not be here without all
32:16
the Lightning debs, without the massive peer pressure on Twitter
32:21
at at who. Who was it that initially told
32:23
Call that, Brian? It was Joe.
32:26
So Joe Nakamoto was like it was was kind of giving him shit like
32:30
as he does it as a friendly you know lovable Brit.
32:34
But none the less he was giving us some shit And then he said
32:38
Brian said that he would send him some Bitcoin and and Joe
32:41
threw up a lightning address and and Brian thought it was an
32:45
e-mail address. He didn't understand what it was
32:48
and look that like That's how uninformed he was very recently
32:51
on Lightning. So like you know, I I maybe that
32:54
was maybe this is all thanks to Joe in the end.
32:58
Dude, shout out Joe Nakamoto for pushing Lightning Network.
33:03
Adopt literally Joe. It wasn't Brian, guys.
33:06
It was Joe Nakamoto that this is literally going to fundamentally
33:09
change the face of the planet for convincing Brian Armstrong
33:12
to adopt the Lightning Network. And I'm just curious.
33:16
Like, I wonder what. I wonder what a lot of the coin
33:18
basics are going to think with all the shit coins.
33:21
Like why? Why should they buy a lot of
33:22
them? It'll it'll be hilarious to to
33:26
watch the cognitive dissonance of like oh wow like I I withdrew
33:31
in seconds and it was cheap. As long as you know how some
33:35
some some exchanges will still they'll tack on like a big fee
33:39
regardless of how efficient it is and like you know there's the
33:43
exchanges where you they you know forever.
33:46
Coinbase wasn't batching transactions until there was
33:48
such a push back there. Coinbase is is like the the the
33:52
biggest behemoth that is the slowest to move right And and so
33:56
it's just they don't do things so they have to they don't add
33:59
Segway till they have to. They don't add batching
34:02
transactions or or beck 32 addresses or any of these things
34:05
until they have to. Unless it's Bitcoin Cash and you
34:08
want to. Yeah, man, it's, you know, it's
34:12
kind of like the Evil Empire and you know, that's the way that I
34:16
see it. Again, they've they've caused so
34:18
much damage, you could say that they've slowed down the adoption
34:21
of Bitcoin and, you know, so, but OK, so this is the
34:25
announcement. Let's see how the rollout's
34:27
gonna be. We're gonna tune into BTC
34:30
sessions tutorial on it, let's see if you know if it is an
34:34
actual, you know, Lightning Network integration and it
34:37
actually functions like a Lightning wallet.
34:39
But you know, if this news is true, but this announcement, it
34:42
looks legit, you know, this is a big effing deal for the
34:45
Lightning Network. This is a lot of adoption.
34:47
It's a lot of people that are getting exposure to, oh wow,
34:50
Bitcoin really like Bitcoin's actually pretty fast.
34:53
Like, you know, I don't have to use layer one Bitcoin.
34:55
Anyways, Opti, what's your take? And then we'll get our guest
34:58
take. Yeah.
34:59
So I mean my first take is kind of adding to what you guys are
35:02
saying. We say it all the time, you know
35:04
the free market will finally force your hand.
35:07
And as much bad as Brian Armstrong and Coinbase has done
35:10
for Bitcoin, we do have to applaud him when he does
35:13
something good. Maybe you don't have to become
35:15
fanboys but this is good for Bitcoin and really I'm just
35:20
going to double down on the on the idea of like doesn't this
35:23
necessarily break his whole business model of being a coin
35:26
casino and now they're using lightning.
35:28
Like what's the point of all these other coins.
35:30
Remember how many times Coinbase has flooded Bitcoin be like oh
35:33
it's slow and clunky and there's only what 7 transactions per per
35:38
block or whatever. What, No, 7 transactions per
35:41
second? And now they're using Lightning.
35:43
And to Ben's point with Joe Nakamoto and and Brian
35:47
Armstrong, it just goes to show that if you spend so much time
35:51
in in the Bitcoin corner, you don't understand all of the
35:56
stuff being developed on Bitcoin and you're literally like to
35:59
your own detriment falling behind.
36:01
It's like, how long has he been in Bitcoin?
36:04
He's been fighting Lightning Network for years now and then
36:08
when you go to ask him to use. It he's like, wait, like what?
36:11
What is this? Thing and you're just like
36:13
you're you're literally like one of the biggest Bitcoin companies
36:16
in the space and you don't know what's going on on Bitcoin
36:18
development because you're so focused on Chick coins that it
36:21
just goes to show like Chick coins are bad for you.
36:24
Do not research Chick coins, it's Bitcoin only.
36:27
This is why it's simply Bitcoin in the 1st place.
36:29
But again, the numbers. What?
36:32
What was it that was like 2022 to 108 million users?
36:36
That has to have gone up, as we are all joking in the chat.
36:40
You know, maybe now coin base won't go down because you know
36:45
there won't be a need for them to go down on the back end
36:48
because people are using lightning.
36:50
And the amount of exposure that that just everyday new person is
36:54
going to get to lightning will prove to them that Bitcoin
36:57
works. It's going to get mass adopted.
37:00
People are improving this and you like, look, I'm not the
37:04
biggest fan of Coinbase and man, Brian Armstrong, but like, you
37:07
just love to see it. It just goes to show that more
37:09
people are going to start using Bitcoin.
37:11
They're going to go down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and they're
37:14
they're going to realize that Bitcoin is the future and they
37:17
don't need to gamble on Chick Coins.
37:19
Unless you know you're gambling, then by all means, you know, do
37:22
your D Gen. behavior. But Bitcoin works, so you know,
37:24
lightning works. And now I'm sure they're going
37:27
to have a huge node. They'll probably be a a pretty
37:30
decent routing node. So like, you just love to see
37:33
that they are catching up. To it.
37:34
That is so like it would. You're just saying that I'm
37:37
like, there's no fucking way. There's no way.
37:39
There's no way like what is? It's it's like, oh man, like.
37:42
And then also, can we acknowledge the fact that what's
37:45
the company that David market Light Spark or Lightning Spark?
37:48
Did they have to pay a $10,000 fee to use this?
37:52
Maybe, maybe there's a benefit to this, but they could do the
37:55
same thing. Obviously, it's a little more
37:57
manual and it's probably better to have a third party like like
38:00
you guys are saying. So there's someone to blame, but
38:03
hey, you just love to see it that more people are adopting
38:05
Lightning. I love how they have like, bro,
38:08
it's like a massive public company.
38:10
They have all these developers and engineers and like, they
38:12
like, they just avoid. It's like, no.
38:14
Like, let's just use a third party for this Bitcoin thing.
38:18
This money is gonna absolutely change the world.
38:20
Let's just not build out our own lightning infrastructure.
38:23
Let's just rely on a third party.
38:24
I find that absolutely hilarious.
38:26
I think the best thing is that, I mean, Coin Base is the
38:29
greatest champion of third parties.
38:31
It's kind of the thing, guys. So I'm do you, do you think
38:38
Brian Armstrong is probably going to watch your tutorial?
38:42
I was, you know, I was in the Coinbase documentary because of
38:45
a video that I made called Why Delete Coinbase?
38:48
And it was, and it was 30 minutes long of reasons to
38:52
delete Coinbase, and there were many.
38:54
If I were to redo it right now, it would be an hour, maybe an
38:56
hour and a half. Oh man.
38:58
So yeah, it's wait. Wait, at this point I think is
39:00
when we say hashtag drop Coinbase.
39:03
Hashtag drop Coinbase and go to bitcoinwell.com Best place to
39:06
build your automatic self custody Bitcoin stack, right
39:09
Ben? Yeah, yeah.
39:11
So they I'm, I'm also now partner with Bitcoin.
39:14
Well you know Adam was like Adam was one of the, so he's he's a
39:18
buddy of mine. He lives close to me and he was
39:22
one of the first places I ever earned SAT's.
39:25
He had a network of Bitcoin ATMs in my city and I I approached
39:29
him, I'm like, hey man, do you need any manual labor?
39:32
And I was running around the city clearing cash out of ATMs
39:35
and depositing into banks for him and doing all the and and
39:39
just helping him out because he's like 3 hours north of me.
39:42
And so those are some of the first Sats that I ever earned
39:44
was was from him and and what kind of helped him you know
39:48
build well not build things out but like keep things running and
39:51
and we've just been kind of friends ever since.
39:53
So that's like 10 years of knowing each.
39:56
Other That's absolutely crazy. Yes, 10 years, man. 10 years.
39:59
And again guys, Bitcoin, well, special because it's automatic
40:04
self custody. So you can't buy Bitcoin on
40:05
Bitcoin. Well as you're gonna take self
40:07
custody and self custody is the resolution.
40:10
You don't wanna. Have your Bitcoin custodied with
40:12
a third party? Let's let's bring up lightning.
40:15
Goats SAT. What?
40:17
What's your thoughts on this? He's been using lightning.
40:20
He's done more more for lightning than than our Brian
40:23
Armstrong. What's your thoughts on this
40:25
news? Well, you know, it kind of
40:27
doesn't matter what Brian Armstrong does.
40:30
Ours. He only makes the the network
40:33
stronger, right? There's a lot of examples of
40:37
this, including even the Shit Coinery itself.
40:42
If you look at Shit Coinery, it was actually kind of a good
40:45
thing. Imagine for a moment a nature
40:50
documentary with a herd of antelope or something out on the
40:54
Savannah and the lions are sitting out there.
40:59
Bitcoin is one of the Antelopes and all the other shit coins are
41:03
all the Antelopes. And all those other shit coins
41:07
provided cover for Bitcoin to protect it from predators such
41:13
as the SEC and all that kind of stuff, you know?
41:17
So in this sense, the shit coin phenomenon was actually kind of
41:22
a good thing. So in that case, Armstrong
41:28
strengthen the network. I've been waiting for him to get
41:31
on Lightning for a long time. You know, I used to use them
41:35
because after Goxx exploded, Coinbase was kind of like the
41:43
only trustworthy exchange out there.
41:46
And so when I first got into this whole space of stack and
41:51
Sats and all that kind of shit, I used Coinbase and stacked like
41:56
a madman, you know, from the peak in 2014 down all the way to
42:01
160 bucks. And then.
42:05
So it really helped me out. But nowadays, not so much.
42:11
I run my own node. I write my own code.
42:14
I do what I can to work for the Bitcoin network, you know?
42:19
And I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
42:26
I wouldn't tell anybody to go to Coinbase like I used to back in
42:30
the day, right when somebody was asking me about bitcoins or this
42:36
or that. I'd be like go to Coinbase.
42:38
It's an easy way to on ramp, but not so much anymore.
42:43
I think as time goes on, they'll just become irrelevant.
42:48
Yeah. I mean, I, I, I, I that's
42:51
interesting. Yeah.
42:52
I mean, I hope so. I hope so.
42:54
I hope. I hope people adopt Bitcoin.
42:57
You know, only on ramps like Bitcoin.
42:59
Well, I, I, I, I, I agree. But you know the the growth is
43:03
absolutely insane, right? Like the amount of users that
43:06
they picked up like this graph. Insane like right Like it's just
43:10
like literally escape velocity and I think it has to do a lot
43:13
also with the way that Coinbase used the wrong one the way that
43:17
Coinbase markets a lot of these you know shit coins they they
43:21
kind of if you look it literally looks like a fucking casino.
43:25
Like it like it has like little like you know it's like like
43:28
little lights and you know like it's like incentivized for you
43:31
to like and it equates it which is the the worst part.
43:35
I think like the the worst sin that Coinbase does is that it
43:38
equates Bitcoin to like I don't even, I don't even keep up with
43:42
shit coin these days up what what's was the Pepe?
43:45
I don't even know. Give me one Doge, OK.
43:49
Like it equates Bitcoin to like doge and whatever on the list of
43:53
things. You know And I think that really
43:54
confuses people like first getting into the space and it
43:58
hurts a lot of people like it wrecks people because they
44:02
equate the two things you know. So anyways so yes the largest
44:07
chick coin casino in the world just announced that they're
44:10
integrating lightning. I think this is a net positive
44:13
for the space. I think it's absolutely
44:15
hilarious in my opinion that you know the Lex Luthor of the this
44:20
whole thing is gonna, you know do a a tremendous amount for
44:25
Bitcoin lightning network adoption.
44:27
I see Opti has something pulled up.
44:29
I don't know if you want. That's for the next.
44:31
Part. OK, so yeah, so guys, stick
44:33
around for the culture segment. We're gonna talk to SAT about
44:36
what he's working on. Also, we're gonna talk to Ben
44:38
too about what's going on at the having party and just there's a
44:42
lot more events for today. So let's do it.
44:45
Here we go. Let's check out the culture.
44:48
But before we check out the culture, I do want to give a
44:52
very special shout out to our sponsor.
44:55
You got to stack friends who stack Sats.
44:58
And of course I am talking about the Orange Pill app.
45:02
Bitcointers are going to be some of the most influential people
45:06
in the world, some of those powerful people in the world.
45:08
And it's probably a good idea to you know what they say, stack
45:11
friends who stack Sats build that Bitcoin network, that this
45:16
is the Bitcoin social layer and it's also the number one app to
45:21
create Bitcoin only events. And they have this really
45:23
interesting filtration system. So if you go on the Orange
45:26
Palap, they have this filtration system to make sure that you're
45:30
this is no shit corners on the app, right?
45:32
It's literally only bitcoiners. They connect with you.
45:35
I go out of my way to answer every single one of those
45:39
messages. Ben and I are advisors.
45:41
So definitely recommend going on the Orange pull up.
45:44
Also, there's a Simply Bitcoin group, you can join it and I'm
45:47
pretty active on there. You guys have any questions for
45:50
me personally, If you guys want to drop any memes for Opti for
45:53
Friday, for the meme review Fridays, which we're gonna do
45:55
tomorrow, just tag us on the orange pull up.
45:58
So guys, download the orange pull up today.
46:00
Again, it's a great way to connect with bitcoiners in your
46:04
area. You could scan the QR code or
46:06
check the link in the video description.
46:08
All right everybody, let's get to the culture, the daily
46:12
culture. All right, I want to give a
46:19
shout out also to Kaboom Racks. Kaboom Racks is the most trusted
46:22
place to buy, sell and host mining equipment.
46:25
And what you could do to check out their Telegram marketplace.
46:27
You can scan the QR code on your screen, or you can check the
46:30
link in the video description. You can connect with a member of
46:33
their sales team. They make purchasing their
46:34
products easy and transparent, and you could also sell your
46:37
mining equipment with them. Access their vast network of
46:40
domestic and international customers.
46:42
When you sell your mining equipment with Kaboom Max, what
46:44
are you waiting for? Start your Bitcoin mining
46:46
journey today. Visit Kaboom Max.
46:49
All right, Opti, it's all yours. All right, all right, let's go.
46:53
OK, so SAT, AKA Lightning Goats. Let's start with what is
46:59
Lightning Goats? And then I'll pull up the
47:00
YouTube and and then we can try this live stress test.
47:05
Lightning Goats is a a live streaming Bitcoin interactive
47:10
goat feeder with a Noster integration.
47:15
It's a a passion project of mine.
47:19
I also wanted a way to find a way to work for the Bitcoin
47:22
network and doing it. I'm not a like a super coder or
47:30
anything like that so. Hold, hold, hold on a second.
47:34
Do do you just say we're gonna be able to feed goats with
47:36
lightning? Yes, yes.
47:38
Holy shit. OK, All right, let's, let's,
47:40
let's. Do this in real time.
47:42
Where did we find this guy? All right, So what are what are
47:46
we looking at right here Sat what what is going on here?
47:50
And then let's see if we can stress test this.
47:53
I'll, I'll drop the link in the chat so people can get to it,
47:57
but maybe I can full screen it and they can see.
47:59
Oh my God, looking awesome. All right, So what What are we
48:02
looking at? What is this?
48:04
Those are the goats. Those are the lightning.
48:06
Goats. It's.
48:09
Literal. Goats live with a little bit of
48:11
lag. You know just how a regular
48:13
video broadcast is? The guy that you see out right
48:17
there in the yard is Cosmo. There's four other goats
48:23
positioned here and there, and people can scan the QR code.
48:31
They can send lightning payments to the herd at
48:34
lightninghyphengoats.com, or they can ZAP on Noster and it
48:41
triggers messages and all that kind of stuff.
48:44
The progress bar that you see on the bottom there, when people
48:50
contribute stats, the progress bar increases.
48:53
When it reaches 100%, it triggers the goat feeder there,
48:57
and it's actually pretty exciting.
49:00
I'll send over 1000 Sats. I got.
49:02
I got it. I'm doing it right now.
49:04
I am. This is this is blowing my mind.
49:07
I did not know I was gonna do this today.
49:09
And I'm having a lot of fun. This is fucking awesome.
49:12
Holy shit, you. See you guys blew me off for
49:16
fucking months. Look at what you missed.
49:20
Oh look, look, one sat to go. Oh.
49:25
My God holy. Shit.
49:30
Dude, they know they they're Pavlovian.
49:32
Goats over here. OK, I'm doing that again.
49:34
I want to do it. OK, here's here's another one.
49:38
OK, wow. Hold on.
49:40
How quickly? How quickly?
49:42
Another thing that's pretty cool about this is people can join
49:45
the cyber herd on Oster. And what this is, is anyone who
49:49
likes or reposts the note with a limit of up to 10 people gets
49:54
added to the cyber herd and it's a lightning prism.
49:58
So when the feeder gets triggered, people that are in
50:01
the cyber herd get sats sent back to them as well.
50:05
So you feed the goats in the real world and you also feed the
50:08
Noster goats out there. And I'd like to mention, give a
50:13
shout out to a couple other somewhat related projects, or at
50:17
least one related projects, specifically a guy named Rex
50:21
Damascus and his projects. Rex has been a great supporter
50:28
from the very beginning. We've been at this, I don't know
50:31
about eight months or so. I won't.
50:36
I won't throw out actual numbers, but the goats now have
50:40
more sets than your average human being would if you divide
50:44
that 21,000,000 by the by the population of the earth, right?
50:50
So someday these all these goats are going to be, you know,
50:57
kicking butt. Holy cow, you guys are really
51:00
making me go cut. Go nuts.
51:01
Yeah, they're they're definitely over feeding the goats now.
51:05
Were they starting before the show?
51:09
What's that? Said Were the goats starving
51:12
before the show are are they? They only eat because they get
51:16
triggered and you guys pay them on lightning.
51:19
No, You know, they they get lots of food throughout the day.
51:23
They they go out and forage twice a day, right around 12 and
51:29
around 6:00 at night. That's where they get about 90%
51:33
of their food. We give them a little bit of
51:35
supplemental hay and then of course the treats.
51:39
The goats love the trees. Now, this whole thing was kind
51:43
of like a how do I solve a bunch of different problems at once,
51:48
right? I wanted to do something for the
51:50
goats because I really like my goats and I wanted to,
51:55
literally, I wanted to say, hey, I work for Bitcoin, right?
51:59
Not, not the, not the thing of I'm earning Bitcoin, but I work
52:04
for the Bitcoin network and this is how I did it.
52:07
You know, I also wanted to do something that kind of cross
52:11
promotes Noster and helps people when they on board on Noster,
52:16
find uses for the Lightning Network.
52:20
It's kind of cool in the sense that it's an energetic circle of
52:25
life, right? People go out there and they
52:27
work, they earn saps, they send the SAPS to the goats where they
52:33
reinsert the real world again as A and Timothy pay, Timothy hay
52:40
pellets and all that kind of stuff.
52:46
It's a part of the Orange Standard or Bitcoin standard
52:50
lifestyle right out in 2017. And this is how I spend my time
53:00
now. Thank you Bitcoin for making my
53:04
life awesome. Love it.
53:06
Same. Same.
53:07
So I got a question. The Largo stop.
53:09
OK, so for anyone who doesn't understand what is happening, if
53:12
you're audio listeners, OK, all right, so this guy SAT, he's the
53:17
fucking man, all right? And he built an automatic like
53:22
goat feeder. When you stream it SAT's, it
53:26
drops goat feed and the fucking goats go ham and they attack the
53:30
goat feeder and there's a live stream camera and we're watching
53:34
this right now. Yeah, go to Lightning Goats on
53:37
Twitter or YouTube. Sorry, at.
53:38
Least sent 10,000. No.
53:42
Twitter nostril only but go to search lightning goats on
53:45
YouTube and you can see the live stream.
53:47
But SAT I do have a like AI guess more of a technical
53:50
question. How did you actually set this
53:52
up? Like what?
53:53
What are you using to to like trigger this and what what
53:57
lightning platform are you using?
53:59
I run an L&D node. It's in Sweden, and that node
54:06
also has a wire guard connection on it that hooks to a little
54:11
Raspberry Pi in my house on that runs a home automation system,
54:18
Open hab and that triggers the feeder, right?
54:24
And it there's also Noster integration, there's a lot of
54:28
pieces. You know, I've been thinking
54:31
guys, I could set something up for you.
54:33
It's very similar what you see on there, you know the QR code
54:38
and the scrolling text, that's just an overlay in OB Studio.
54:44
It's a HTML file that interacts with an Ellen Bits install that
54:52
I have and Dale and Bitson stall takes care of doing a lot of the
54:58
the back end lightning stuff. But what it does is it allows
55:03
you to accept lightning payments in real time on your live
55:07
stream. So if you ever want me to code
55:11
for simply Bitcoin, I'd be happy to do it.
55:15
Love it? Yeah.
55:15
I'll get in touch with you because I've been.
55:17
I've been trying to do the. QR code.
55:18
But don't worry, OK, OK, Holy shit, this is fucking awesome.
55:24
I just got to say that this is extremely impressive.
55:27
This is awesome. And would you be open to making
55:32
like a like an Opti Taco feeder? You know, you guys got to take
55:39
it easy on Opti, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
55:44
Oh man. Dude.
55:46
Holy. The the the Opti Taco feeder is
55:48
actually Christine Lagarde, right?
55:53
Oh. Man, this is this is epic.
55:57
This is awesome. Wait, wait, Ben, would you be
55:59
open to I got another joke Lab tutorial maybe?
56:02
Yeah, I I think it's like here's, here's how, here's how
56:06
to trigger Christine Lagarde to feed Opti Tacos.
56:09
And perhaps we could we could also have a Head and shoulders
56:12
dispenser as well. You know, I kind of I never knew
56:16
if Opti liked to eat tacos because he said he didn't like
56:19
pubes on his face, right? But then he was like, well,
56:22
Christine must be, she must have gone through.
56:27
TMI lasers. You guys know lasers?
56:30
Dude, I fucking love bitcoiners, man.
56:32
This is sad. I'm not just saying this.
56:34
This is like, okay. So we had one stream where we
56:39
had a guy pick up a chicken okay and that was like a highlight
56:43
for me. You just fucking went up the
56:46
fuck out of that guy And this you're you're literally one of
56:50
my favorite guests of the year. This isn't absolutely
56:53
incredible, what you've done. And this is so fucking cool.
56:57
And those must be some really fucking happy goats.
57:00
So they're very lucky to have you.
57:02
OK Nika do one more before before we wrap this show up or
57:05
someone someone hit the the the QR code real quick, let's let's
57:09
feed them one more time all. Right, here we go.
57:11
Let's, let's send those goats some food.
57:14
Here we go. Hi, we're feeding goats.
57:23
And Sessions, while I have you here, I wanna get on your Why
57:29
are We Bullish show. If we can do live goat feeding,
57:33
say no more, why are we bullish and goats.
57:39
It's happening. So yeah, we'll do it.
57:41
We'll do it. Let's you guys link me up and
57:44
we'll and well, I think, I think it'll be every time we switch
57:49
guests we we have to feed the goats.
57:51
That's how we that's how we do it.
57:53
Yeah. Love it?
57:54
All right. So Seth, do you know your Noster
57:57
and pub? Because people want to find you
57:59
on Noster? Do you do you memorize this or
58:01
how can they find you on Noster? Just do a search, man.
58:08
It's the Internet, you know, And you'll you'll find me on Noster.
58:12
Search for lightning goats. Not too hard to find.
58:17
There's Noster is an awesome echo chamber, right?
58:24
Though it's on simply Bitcoin right now.
58:27
Yeah, I don't know my fucking in pub.
58:29
I know. I'm just trolling.
58:30
I'm just trolling. I asked that to everyone.
58:33
But yeah, guys. So if you want to find him, he's
58:35
on Noster. He's not on Twitter, but you can
58:37
find him on YouTube. Just search Lightning Goats.
58:39
He's got a live stream. This live stream is 24 hours,
58:42
right? No, no, this only runs during
58:44
daylight hours. OK, we live off grid.
58:47
We're we're completely solar for everything.
58:51
And so I have to wait until the batteries are charged enough in
58:54
the morning, and once they are, I turn on the goat feeder and
58:58
stream and all that kind of stuff.
59:00
Can I can I just say that I love the effort you put into creating
59:03
a literal logo that is a goat that is flanked by a Bitcoin
59:07
bee. So it's light lightning goats
59:11
that he. You do have a Nippo 5, which is
59:14
heard at lightning dash goats dot coms.
59:17
Is that you? It must be like unless there's
59:20
another lightning goat feeder on Noster, it's clearly you.
59:23
It's. Clearly me, we also host all
59:27
that stuff ourselves too. Or yeah, me and herd, you know
59:31
the goat herd. We do all our Nip O 5 stuff,
59:35
Ledge 16 stuff. If you want a lightning goats
59:40
vanity address, go to lnb.bulverker.com BOLVER
59:46
ker.com. You can find on there where to
59:55
get yourself a Nip 5 verified and all that kind of stuff.
1:00:00
You know what I would be I would be fully down if the prevalent
1:00:04
Nip 05 implementation, if most people had a lightning goats, if
1:00:11
all ever all the nostril users were like BTC sessions at
1:00:16
lightninggoats.com. Like I would love to see that to
1:00:20
become a prevalent Nippo 5 to be used.
1:00:24
Yeah, I know it. Awesome.
1:00:27
Sad. This is awesome.
1:00:28
Everyone in the chat's going. There's so many possibilities
1:00:30
for this. So what?
1:00:30
You can basically just use Ellen bits and and you know MacGyver,
1:00:35
your own kind of set up with this the the.
1:00:37
Possibility. Yeah.
1:00:38
You know, you have to have some coding skills.
1:00:42
The secret sauce to my project at this moment is actually
1:00:45
artificial intelligence, right? I I know how to leverage DBT or
1:00:51
Claude. Or or whoever these AIS are to
1:00:55
help me write the code. Because I mentioned before, you
1:00:58
know, I'm a programmer, but I'm not like a great programmer or
1:01:02
anything like that. So the AI really helps.
1:01:05
What do you mean? You're not a great fucking
1:01:07
programmer, dude. This is insane.
1:01:08
This is fucking crazy. This is the this is the coolest
1:01:12
shit I've ever seen, bro. They can't even fucking figure
1:01:14
out how to build lightning on doing an automated goat feeder
1:01:20
with lightning. This is this is the the fucking
1:01:22
coolest shit I've ever seen. Yeah, you know Armstrong is only
1:01:25
making excuses, right? I'm just some dude that lives
1:01:28
out in the mountains. And I I I did this.
1:01:32
Armstrong wishes he could feed goats with lightning.
1:01:35
Fucking he does, man, you know? And Elon Musk wishes he could
1:01:40
host my my stuff. But his platform sucks for this
1:01:44
kind of thing. You know, how the hell am I
1:01:48
going to get any kind of reach or viewers on on Twitter?
1:01:53
Literally, you know how am I going to set up an in pub for
1:01:57
each goat? I can't do that on Twitter.
1:02:00
Or am I going to Nost or blue check every fucking goat?
1:02:03
No, it ain't happening man. Even if I even if I did that,
1:02:07
you know X or Twitter or Musk or any of those guys are probably
1:02:11
going to want to cut of my sats, you know?
1:02:13
And these are mine. Elizabeth Warren right now is is
1:02:19
pining at the gills to KYC these goats.
1:02:22
Yeah, they're. I mean, they do look like
1:02:24
shadowy super goats, I'm going to say.
1:02:28
You know, if if any guy, if anybody out there is like a a
1:02:31
super fan or just a a real hardcore Bitcoin, or if you come
1:02:38
through my area or you think you may be coming through my area in
1:02:43
the future, you can come meet the goats.
1:02:48
The only caveat being is you have to be a true bitcoiner to
1:02:53
come here and that's it. You know, if you're a true
1:02:57
bitcoiner, I'd be more than happy to show you around.
1:03:01
We live on 40 acres in an earthship.
1:03:05
It's a passively heated solar home.
1:03:10
Freaking awesome, you know? And we got the goats, so feel
1:03:17
free to hit me up if you're ever We'll just give a general
1:03:21
geographic location if you're ever in Colorado.
