Latest / Simply Bitcoin / Presidential Candidate: Robert Kennedy is Pro-Bitcoin | EP 717
Transcript
- 0:12Yo welcome to another episode of Simply bitcoind live where your
- 0:16number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution
- 0:18occurred. Breaking news culture, my
- 0:19chromatic Warfare we will be your guide through the
- 0:22separation of money and state had a great conversation on
- 0:27simply Bitcoin IRL with Jason Brett yesterday and boy.
- 0:32Oh boy are the storm clouds gathering.
- 0:36And here's the reality and I think a lot of predominant
- 0:40bitcoiners understand this, right?
- 0:43You have Michael sailor at the atlas Gala.
- 0:47Basically saying I want to be a winner, I don't want to be a
- 0:49martyr. You have Corey Clips, ins, very
- 0:51famous piece, the race to avoid the war and something that a
- 0:57joke that Opti, and I make all the time, right?
- 1:00Where we say, you know, we're going to try to hold it down
- 1:03here in the States but You know, all spells will we're going to
- 1:09have to move to El Salvador. The reality, is that, over the
- 1:12last six months. You know, we've seen some people
- 1:16call it, the Deep State, I would call the administrative state
- 1:19right up in your grill. These days is doing everything
- 1:23in its power, to try to slow down the adoption of Bitcoin.
- 1:27The reason for that is simple, right?
- 1:29They get a tremendous amount of power from being able to print
- 1:33money, and obviously that funds, you know, the endless Wars, the
- 1:38bureaucracy, etc. Etc.
- 1:42But people are waking up to that and one of the things that
- 1:44dawned on me yesterday and my conversation with Jason was the
- 1:50inevitability of having to get involved.
- 1:55Unfortunately, I know a lot of bitcoiners are going to be
- 1:58literally repulsed by the statement.
- 1:59But at this point, I don't care. I'm going to say it anyway.
- 2:05I don't think we have the luxury of just being on Lookers, right?
- 2:09Especially if you want to stay where you are.
- 2:11If you don't, you know, if all else fails of course, you know,
- 2:14you take your Bitcoin into self custody, you're going to go to
- 2:16where you're treated best. You're just going to pack up
- 2:18your bags, get on a plane and leave.
- 2:19Right. If you don't want to do that you
- 2:22know you definitely have to at least pay attention and see
- 2:28what's going on in the political process.
- 2:31And the reality is that the current Administration, right?
- 2:34Is Style towards Bitcoin, weeee. That was confirmed when Kaitlyn
- 2:37long came on simply Bitcoin IRL. She said, that the reason that
- 2:41she believes that, her Federal Banking, Charter was denied.
- 2:45Even though she has literally more than 100, it was a her bank
- 2:49is 108 percent reserved, and it was still denied was because
- 2:55orders from the White House from the very top to deny it because
- 3:00they don't want Bitcoin adoption in the u.s. they want people
- 3:03using a T'rul Bank, digital currency and there's a war going
- 3:07on. There's individual states.
- 3:09Right? There's Governors that are being
- 3:10very vocal and saying, hey, you know, we veto this bill.
- 3:16We do not want to adopt a central bank, digital currency,
- 3:19so get involved, take agency, take agency, you could be an
- 3:23onlooker, you could run your own node, you could buy Bitcoin,
- 3:25take Bitcoin into self custody, you'll be fine as an individual.
- 3:29But if you want to hold it down, you want to hold it down.
- 3:33Then you inevitably you're going to have to get involved and
- 3:35that's the reality. Now the good news though is that
- 3:38as more people adopt Bitcoin and you know as people get older and
- 3:44the younger generation which are the big percentage of people
- 3:46that are holding Bitcoin, accumulate more wealth and they
- 3:51become more influential. Politicians are going to start
- 3:56supporting something like Bitcoin and I think that's what
- 3:58we were. Starting to see we had a
- 4:01Kennedy, Robert Kennedy jr. That came out and said the quiet
- 4:06part out loud. He said The reality of what a
- 4:09central bank, digital currency would entail, how the Federal
- 4:13Reserve and the treasury are using the FED now payment system
- 4:18as a trojan horse to get in, but the good news is that people are
- 4:22waking up to this reality. And I also have a clip for you
- 4:25guys from Tim cast and the reason we referenced the temple
- 4:30podcast. So much is one of the most
- 4:31popular podcasts every night. If you're onto on YouTube, you
- 4:35will see the Tim cast live stream and it has 10.
- 4:38Of thousands, sometimes, hundreds of thousands of people
- 4:40watching live and you know who he had on last night.
- 4:44He had the man, the myth, the legend himself, Ron, Paul and
- 4:48Ron. Paul was describing exactly what
- 4:52is wrong with the current system.
- 4:55I just think that Ron Paul. I think he started the, he
- 4:58started this movement, he was the first to address and
- 5:01highlight broken money in the importance of Austrian economics
- 5:07versus Kenzie and economics. But the reason that I want to
- 5:10highlight this clip and play this clip is that now this is
- 5:13getting mainstream attention, these conversations are being
- 5:17had. So not only is Temple bringing
- 5:19up Bitcoin regularly having bitcoiners on his show.
- 5:25Max Keiser. You should have Corey Clips in
- 5:27on onto as well but he's also having people like Ron Paul that
- 5:33are discussing the broken money. Meaning that Bitcoin the
- 5:38Bitcoin, ethos the Bitcoin Revolution, the ideas of Bitcoin
- 5:42are starting to seep into the mainstream Consciousness and I
- 5:46suspect this will continue to accelerate As clown World
- 5:50continues to break down, will be on top of it.
- 5:54You guys know the deal. We're number one source for the
- 5:56peaceful Bitcoin Revolution, enjoy the ride, take that
- 5:59Bitcoin into self custody and watch the fireworks, but there
- 6:03is going to be a fight. It's not going to be a kinetic
- 6:05one. It's going to be an information
- 6:07to be all-out information Warfare which we've been
- 6:09covering this entire week. The Legacy corporate media is
- 6:14panicking. The NPR freaked out said they're
- 6:18going to give up Twitter Her because Ilan, rightly.
- 6:21So, rightly mentioned and put it in their Twitter bio that, that
- 6:25NPR is a government funded organization which is true and
- 6:29they got mad about that, right? And this is idea that was talked
- 6:32about in the sovereign individual, this an idea that
- 6:34I've been talking about over the last couple of months, right?
- 6:38We are living through the disintermediation of information
- 6:41and we're also living through the disintermediation of money
- 6:44and governments. The nation-state model has
- 6:47relied tremendously From having a monopoly on both those fronts
- 6:51and know what other people are saying like Nico.
- 6:53Like, that's not true, they don't have a monopoly on
- 6:55information. Are you trying to tell me the
- 6:57corporate media, specifically, something like the New York
- 6:59Times isn't a mouthpiece for a lot of these intelligence
- 7:03communities? We talked to we had it is
- 7:06episode a couple days ago about the Iraq War.
- 7:09They covered up. You know, the, the atrocities
- 7:12committed by the Soviet Union, but now that you have
- 7:15individuals individuals are now the ones, That are telling the
- 7:20information. They're the ones are the new
- 7:22newscasters are the journalists it becomes an it's decentralised
- 7:26has become incredibly difficult for these nation states are
- 7:30these powerful governments to co-op The Narrative the way that
- 7:34they have been doing so this very tumultuous time.
- 7:37Some people call it the fourth turning, but I know I'll be
- 7:39alright because my wealth is in Bitcoin and I hope yours is too.
- 7:43Anyways, everybody before we start the show and introduce my
- 7:46legendary co-host, always optimistic had a bit of a Of a

- 11:06capacity value, 164 million, u.s. dollars realized monetary
- 11:11inflation 1.76 percent and the market capitalization of Bitcoin
- 11:155. 187 billion dollars with Abby today guys I want to talk about.
- 11:21I mentioned it earlier about this man.
- 11:23This man, this this Legend who also got to speak at the I think
- 11:29it was the Bitcoin 2021 conference and One of the things
- 11:36that he said, that resonated with me is, you know, I might
- 11:39not understand this technology very much, but I understand
- 11:43freedom. And that was a very very
- 11:46powerful line Bitcoin is freedom and you last night, he went on
- 11:51the Tim cast, IRL podcast and I'm going to play you guys the
- 11:56clip and you let me know what you think, what the solution is
- 12:01to the things that he's mentioning.
- 12:03Let's check it out. I want to ask you to elaborate
- 12:07on the monetary policy aspect. Can you explain what this
- 12:10economic system is? What's wrong with it?
- 12:12The main reason is, you don't have a definition of the unit of
- 12:17account, because if he were building a building, you'd want
- 12:20a unit of account or a unit of measurement in economics, you
- 12:24have to have a unit of account and that, of course, is it
- 12:27defined currency. We were able to get away with
- 12:31destroying the unit of account, you know, all the way back in,
- 12:34nineteen Thirty. 34 and 1871 the way it is now.
- 12:38But we were very, very wealthy and we still are wealthy but
- 12:42we're getting poorer because people rely on debt.
- 12:46And the debt is growing, the price inflation is moving along
- 12:51and they've destroyed them. One of the most important items,
- 12:55the most important price in economics is the price of money.
- 13:00How much it takes to borrow what was it - for a Of years.
- 13:05It during that time the FED would come up and say, oh, you
- 13:08know, we're having trouble. We we want we want the
- 13:12inflation, the price inflation. We want the destruction of the
- 13:15value of money, go at 2% a year and it's down to minus 1 or
- 13:19minus 2. That is the craziest thing in
- 13:22the world. The last, the last thing they
- 13:24should be doing, but now and I said, you know, when it finally
- 13:27gets to 2% you, wait, you won't even see it.
- 13:30It'll be ten percent after that. There's the theory of subjective
- 13:34theory of value. That tells you that you can't
- 13:36make those predictions but you can make predictions that if you
- 13:40mess up with the monetary system, run up debt.
- 13:44It all this death has to be liquidated and we are in the
- 13:49middle of defaulting on that money and that is going that is
- 13:53the crisis we face. And right now, we're not very
- 13:56far along at accepting, what we have to accept.
- 13:59If we want to crawl our way out of here, and get back to being a
- 14:02productive Nation. So what do we always say all
- 14:07roads lead to bitcoin Bitcoin is that solution right?
- 14:11Fine, you know a lot of people are like saying End the Fed and
- 14:13the FED replace it with what? Res replace it with a gold
- 14:17standard, the gold standard failed because it was a
- 14:20successfully co-opted by government.
- 14:23Why. Because of custody reasons, the
- 14:25fact is that holding a large amount of gold is very difficult
- 14:30to custody. Therefore people Outsource that
- 14:32custody to Banks the banks of large V guys with guns, right?
- 14:39Try storing, you know, a couple million dollars worth of gold.
- 14:42Are you going to hide it on your mattress?
- 14:43Not to mention, you know, Cole how heavy gold is ready?
- 14:47Going to go to a CVS with a little pick liked it.
- 14:51Okay, here you go. Let me get my box of chocolates
- 14:53or something. Yeah, dude, just not going to
- 14:56work, right? So it's not just about ending
- 14:59the FED. It's not about just identifying
- 15:02the issue, right? The the issue has been
- 15:04identified, Ron, Paul identify. He's a legend.
- 15:07He's been identifying this For decades now, right?
- 15:11He was part of the movement in the 1970s to make gold sound.
- 15:15So absurd to make it legal for Americans to hold gold again.
- 15:20Right, gold was tried and it failed because of its physical
- 15:25properties. We need to try something
- 15:27different. And the reason that we advocate
- 15:30for Bitcoin is that you can store Bitcoin by just writing
- 15:35down 24 words. And you could theoretically
- 15:37store Millions, Billions if not trillions of dollars on 12 12
- 15:42words 24 words and if you're in a pickle or if you live in a
- 15:45totalitarian country and you're trying to cross a border with
- 15:47your wealth, you can memorize that, there's like this border
- 15:51thing to that. Makes it easier for you to do it
- 15:53as well. So there's there's different
- 15:56ways there's different mechanisms of, which you can
- 15:59store your gold. I mean, sorry, you could store
- 16:02your Bitcoin. I think it's Superior to gold
- 16:04for that reason. It's a lot easier to store
- 16:06anyways. Opti, what's your take on this?
- 16:09Well first and foremost, you know, shout out to Ron Paul.
- 16:13He's a legend, he's been in this and the FED fight hard money
- 16:17fight for longer than I've been alive.
- 16:19So you know first and foremost we got to we got to show respect
- 16:22to the Legends out there and from that clip man it sounds
- 16:27like he's a bit Corner. Its it might just be that he
- 16:31doesn't have the technical know-how that us young people
- 16:33have and that might be like the final leap.
- 16:36Is him having the Aim. I don't know if faith is the
- 16:40right word, but the the same acceptance to technology and how
- 16:44it has improved our lives and how it is ubiquitous with the,
- 16:48with the modern world. But, you know, from from what I
- 16:51saw and again, I didn't see the whole Tim pool clip with Ron.
- 16:55Paul, everyone was telling me a nice kind of saw it on Twitter
- 16:58as well. It is a bit unfortunate that he
- 17:01doesn't fully understand Bitcoin.
- 17:02Yeah. I don't think he, I don't think
- 17:03he will do buddy. I don't, I mean, yeah, I agree.
- 17:06I agree. I think he fought the key.
- 17:08I agree. We fought as as well as he could
- 17:11with the grills at hungry. We talk about this all the time.
- 17:14We say the same thing consistently you know but my
- 17:17point in saying all that is is kind of like Ron Paul and N are
- 17:22other hard money Advocates whether they're gold fans out
- 17:25there whether they're End the Fed types, you know really
- 17:28appreciate all the groundwork that you guys have laid and as
- 17:32bitcoiners will take the Baton from here and take it over the
- 17:34Finish Line because everything that hard money.
- 17:38Have been saying for a long time like Bitcoin is that solution
- 17:42and to me he sounds like a Bitcoin or you know Bitcoin is
- 17:45that Universal measurement of value AKA you know the global
- 17:48unit of a cow with no middlemen that we talked about
- 17:51consistently on this show. It's just it's very interesting
- 17:54how Bitcoin really is the solution that the End the Fed
- 17:58types. Like Ron Paul have been seeking
- 18:00for forever for as long as they've been in the fight.
- 18:03And it's just like a matter of just going over the, you know,
- 18:07one more inch. Of the finish line and
- 18:09understanding that. A lot of the things that people
- 18:12might think are bugs about Bitcoin, is actually a feature
- 18:15and an improvement on gold and it's just kind of like me and
- 18:18Nico were having this conversation earlier.
- 18:20It's very interesting. How many people are still so
- 18:22Fiat? Minded, they still have the Fiat
- 18:24lens over everything that they think and as bitcoiners that are
- 18:29basically purely bitcoiners come from first principles just
- 18:33understand, I think the world in a better perspective just
- 18:37because we have that Foundation. Nation of like Bitcoin first
- 18:40Bitcoin Centric but what do we always say?
- 18:42First principles of Bitcoin and everything else just comes from
- 18:46that perspective. And so we don't get bogged down
- 18:49in the mud and and the over complexities of the Fiat world
- 18:53were just like Bitcoins a solution.
- 18:55Like, how is this? So, an obvious to everyone.
- 18:57Like, it's so obvious to us that Bitcoin fixes this.
- 19:00But hey, this is why we show up this, why we do what we do is so
- 19:03that we can continuously show people that Bitcoin is an
- 19:06improvement. 100 Percent. But I'm really glad that it's
- 19:10again. I'm gonna, I'm Gonna Keep
- 19:11hammering this point home. I'm really glad that finally,
- 19:14finally, the ideas of Bitcoin. The people are waking up to the
- 19:19fact that the money is broken, and this is being talked about,
- 19:22not only in Bitcoin circles. This is finally breaking the
- 19:25Bitcoin Echo chamber and it's starting to seep into the
- 19:29mainstream Consciousness and I suspect this trend will continue
- 19:33to accelerate. Remember guys, it's not red
- 19:36versus blue, it's green. This orange.

- 20:28when introduce our very special guest Nolan friend over from
- 20:31Bitcoin magazine is here, he's gonna do the news can use with
- 20:34us and we're going to dedicate of course, the soul of the
- 20:37culture segment to talk about the biggest Bitcoin conference
- 20:41on the face of the Earth Bitcoin 2023 coming up in Amy Beach
- 20:45Florida, but before we do that, let's talk about the news also
- 20:48Nolan. Why don't you give a shout-out
- 20:50to your awesome show. Dude, you talk a lot about these
- 20:52topics. Got it for the culture.
- 20:53I got it for the culture. Nico, let's not ruin it.
- 20:55I'm gonna put a gorgeous to shout out, just to show that.
- 20:57What's the name of your show Nolan?
- 20:59We do something called the breakup and it's a lot about
- 21:01what you guys were just mentioning.
- 21:02Like, why are people waking up to this?
- 21:04You know, in my shows every morning, eight AM called The
- 21:08Break-Up. We take a look at our
- 21:09relationship with money because it's not a logical thing, right?
- 21:12It was logical. It would all be over at the 21
- 21:14million It would be over, right? Yep.
- 21:17People love these assumptions that democracy brings us all
- 21:20these kinds of things, right? Democracy is the way to Freedom.
- 21:24These are myths. That bitcoiners have to tear
- 21:28down, right? And that's not that easy.
- 21:30So, that's when the psychological inhibitions
- 21:34towards Bitcoin 100%, and, actually, that, that's a perfect
- 21:38segue into the passage that I'm going to read from Natalie
- 21:42smolenski. This, we're going to focus the
- 21:44new segment. Went on today is Robert, Kennedy
- 21:47jr. Basically going out and
- 21:49advocating for advocating for Bitcoin and being staunchly
- 21:55against Central Bank digital currencies specifically
- 21:58mentioning how the FED. Now, payment could be some type
- 22:01of Trojan Horse into an inevitable Central Bank, digital
- 22:05currency that we know for example the B Administration.
- 22:08That's definitely what they want to do now.
- 22:10Anyway, so here's Natalie smolenski.
- 22:12She's referencing the Texas bill Bill that would take away the
- 22:16incentives for Bitcoin miners within the state.
- 22:19She says, I regret to inform you that even very friendly and
- 22:22receptive, Senators voted for this bad Bill, only one Senator
- 22:26had the independence of mind to oppose it.
- 22:28I firmly believe in the promise of democracy and the importance
- 22:32of getting involved in the political process and this is
- 22:34something that this connects to something, what, what Nolan was
- 22:38saying. However, government will not
- 22:40save us, it is, it is slow reactive functions according to
- 22:43its own logics. You're not visible to people
- 22:46outside of it. We must continue to build
- 22:48alternative social machines, whose adoption becomes.
- 22:52So widespread that governments cannot shut them down or Co-op
- 22:56them only in this way. Will we really move the needle
- 22:59on public opinion, and the opinion of policy makers?
- 23:03So that being said, referencing that first, so it seems like
- 23:08Army Maddox. Right?
- 23:09Are highlighting the dangers of Central Bank.
- 23:11Digital currencies is moving. The needle is what we talked
- 23:14about. So much guys take agency.
- 23:17Every tweet that you like every meme that you make every video
- 23:21that you make it all counts, in this information War.
- 23:25Anyways here's a tweet. This is a really call this a
- 23:27meme from the Federal Reserve says, is fed now replacing cash.
- 23:32Is it a central bank? Digital currency.
- 23:34No fed now is not related to a digital currency fed now is a
- 23:38payment service. The Federal Reserve is making
- 23:40available for banks and Credit Unions to transfer funds.
- 23:43But it's interesting that Say this.
- 23:46But at the same time you have language.
- 23:48Coming out from the B Administration, basically
- 23:51saying, hey we actually want a central bank digital currency so
- 23:56it's funny and you know, it's funny but we bitcoiners.
- 23:59I've been seeing this very, very much.
- 24:01It's like it's almost as if they're contradicting
- 24:03themselves. How interesting is that?
- 24:06Anyway, so here is we're going to talk about today, which is
- 24:08Robert Robert Kennedy jr. Yes, he is related to President
- 24:13Kennedy. I think he's like an F.
- 24:15A few or something, or a great-great nephew.
- 24:17Anyways, he goes on to say fed issued Central Bank.
- 24:19Digital currencies, a Hot Topic. This campaign season
- 24:22presidential candidate. Robert.
- 24:24Kennedy jr. Has rallied against the US,
- 24:26government plans to modernize the banking system by stoking
- 24:29fears of, an overreaching Central Bank, digital currency
- 24:33fed. Now the federal reserve's, new
- 24:34settlement system is pitch to allow instantanium payments, 24
- 24:38hours a day, 7 days, a week quote.
- 24:40We should be wary since Central Bank digital currencies are the
- 24:43ultimate mechanisms for Social surveillance and control quote.
- 24:47The claim that fed now is not the first step towards a central
- 24:50bank. Digital currency would be more
- 24:53easily. Digestible were we not aware of
- 24:55the Biden Administration steady barrage of hostile broadsides
- 25:00against cryptocurrencies. It's interesting, right?
- 25:04And they would like you to know what their emetics that.
- 25:06Hey, guys, there's absolutely nothing to worry about, but I
- 25:09think the good news here at I think the signal is the fact
- 25:12that they feel so inclined. That they have to go out.
- 25:16They have to go out ahead of this and basically, say guys,
- 25:20you have nothing to worry about, this is not replacing cash.
- 25:23This is the this is just a more efficient means of payments.
- 25:26These are not Central Bank, digital currencies, but I'm glad
- 25:29that it's not only bitcoiners that are picking up to this
- 25:32reality. It's also potential political,
- 25:36but presidential candidates as well that are obviously picking
- 25:39up to this. It's so obvious.
- 25:41I mean, look at the presidential economic report.
- 25:44That was released. Couple weeks ago by the vine
- 25:46Administration, they dedicated 20 entire Pages as to making the
- 25:50case, as to why central banks are necessary, why you cannot
- 25:53have money without a state. And as to why Central Bank
- 25:57digital currencies are the future of money and payments in
- 26:00the u.s., right? So honestly, this is one of
- 26:03those situations just like the New York Times.
- 26:05Tried to fact check the riot, the riot video using their own
- 26:11sources, right? Which we successfully.
- 26:14Thought that back enough, people voted that it was an unfelt
- 26:18unhelpful community. No, no, but it's just funny.
- 26:21They're just saying, guys, there's no fight here.
- 26:24This is definitely not a central bank, digital currency you could
- 26:27trust us at the same time. We hate Bitcoin and we are
- 26:30advocating for Central Bank, digital currencies in our papers
- 26:34and our reports. You know, it's like it's almost
- 26:36as if they think we're stupid, I don't know Nolan, what do you
- 26:38am? I crazy Bitcoin.
- 26:40ER, am I seeing things that are not there?
- 26:42Look, the folks who Tune in to the break up every morning and I
- 26:47am have been hearing about Bobby Kennedy jr.
- 26:49And what it means for Bitcoin for about five or six months.
- 26:52Now, I've been talking about him he was on Tucker Carlson and the
- 26:55reason I about five or six months ago, and the reason I
- 26:59brought it up is because I know, you know, in Bitcoin we have the
- 27:01meme 1971, what happened after 1971 you know the end of the
- 27:06gold standard all the things that are different and indeed
- 27:08all the data lines up with that. But strangely the actual
- 27:12connection to when the Surveillance State really begins
- 27:16is when Bobby Kennedy's Uncle, it's a straight-up uncle was
- 27:21killed. He was in the White House.
- 27:22Oval Office many times with his uncle, because his father was
- 27:26the Attorney General, at the time.
- 27:28Bobby Kennedy, who is his father?
- 27:29Like, he's Bobby, Kennedy jr. So, and he's the oldest of all
- 27:32these kinds of kids they had. So now, even even the term
- 27:35conspiracy theory didn't exist in the New York Times before,
- 27:391964 and Bobby, Kennedy, who are JFK was killed at the end of
- 27:431963. And now he's been asking
- 27:46questions, right? That's sort of why I brought it
- 27:49up because in a lot of ways, everything to do with learning
- 27:52about the data behind money for money's sake, all the financial
- 27:56say surveillance all the deputize ation of the banks and
- 27:59the financial system, by the government.
- 28:01All the spying really begins in the aftermath of the death of
- 28:05his uncle, right? So remember his uncle was
- 28:09killed. The murderer of his.
- 28:11Uncle was killed. The murderer of the murderer.
- 28:13Of his uncle was killed. Then his father was killed and
- 28:16the murder of his father was killed and they basically have
- 28:19been saying anyone who asks questions about this as a
- 28:21conspiracy theorist, right? So of all the people that even
- 28:24have the right to ask questions, I think he's first in line so
- 28:28you can't call him a conspiracy theorist, first of all.
- 28:30Now what ends up happening is in the 1960s, from that point on
- 28:33from 1964 on, that's where you get KY caml.
- 28:36That's where you start getting spies deployed in America,
- 28:39looking into American citizens, that's why you have the spies
- 28:43that were sick tan. Martin Luther King jr.
- 28:46That was all in the same time and from there, right?
- 28:50We have this entire Financial infrastructure that moves right
- 28:54into because the point was to make sure there was no dissent
- 28:58and debate. Even at the time about what was
- 29:00going on, no one should ask questions about these folks that
- 29:03were murdered and from then, on Bobby Kennedy jr.
- 29:08Was the last of this family, his cousin, you know, he was in an
- 29:14election. Even potentially becoming a New
- 29:16York, Senator, the New York, senator in 2000, didn't make it
- 29:20right. 1999 his airplane disappeared over Nantucket that
- 29:25was the end of him and all this time.
- 29:28Now, Bobby, Kennedy. And the Kennedys themselves have
- 29:30been, let's call it inside the machine, right?
- 29:34And so Bobby, Kennedy's book, that was just released the real
- 29:38Anthony fauci. Gets into all of this stuff
- 29:40Financial surveillance where the money went What happened?
- 29:46What's going on with these guys? He just did a simple follow the
- 29:48money analysis around. What fauci was up to and again,
- 29:53instantly. So this is the kind of stuff we
- 29:55talked about on the show every morning, it's we predicted on
- 29:59the show. Look they're going to they're
- 30:00going to introduce him as a conspiracy theorist and of all
- 30:03the people that can be a conspiracy theorist.
- 30:05Like I said, he's probably got a pass.
- 30:07Remember, you're a conspiracy theorist.
- 30:10If you asked about the death of his uncle, the death of the
- 30:12murder of his uncle, but death of the Our of the murderer of
- 30:15his uncle, the death of his father, and the death of the
- 30:18murder of his father. So, and by the way, did you guys
- 30:22know he's married to Cheryl Hines?
- 30:23You know, the wife in Curb, Your Enthusiasm, that's his wife
- 30:28that's so good actually. Yeah.
- 30:30That's, you know, I was mentioning him the other day
- 30:33because the Kennedy name is so synonymous with winning and
- 30:36Democrat Circles, of course, right.
- 30:38It is actually this institution within the Democrat Party and I
- 30:43brought it up in a space. Is with Max and Stacey that and
- 30:46turns out knocks and Stacy actually.
- 30:47Interviewed him years ago about all of this stuff, you know,
- 30:50wasn't really pure Bitcoin CBC stuff at the time, but it was
- 30:54just a way for them to notice that that he had some interest
- 30:58in these kinds of things. So it's quite amazing that if
- 31:02you, if you think about when the financial surveillance state in
- 31:04America begins, it begins with his father and if you begin to
- 31:07understand the the control system, you know, that all these
- 31:12definitions of money right? Is it a medium of It's just
- 31:16economists looking at themselves in the mirror right system of
- 31:19control is the one, they never want to talk about.
- 31:21That was the famous. Andre has Antonopoulos, talk
- 31:23that he gave years ago about the fourth missing definition of
- 31:26money. The system of control really
- 31:28gets into gear with LBJ and everything that came after.
- 31:32And if you chart, it's something that we do on the show a lot,
- 31:35you can see when. And and by the way, Roger Stone,
- 31:39Roger Stone, who is the guy who the FBI came in on you know,
- 31:43Rogers doughnuts right? Predicting he is predicting a
- 31:48trump Kennedy bipartisan ticket because he's not going to be
- 31:52welcome within the Democratic party.
- 31:54They're going to do everything. I did to Bernie they're going
- 31:56to, you know, go after him and cheat and lie.
- 31:58And not let him get out of there.
- 32:00So in a lot of ways, he's one of the few names that can actually
- 32:04spring people's awareness and and it's an amazing thing that
- 32:09is happening because the survivors ankle surveillance
- 32:11begins, then the the small-time criminals, Entering political
- 32:16life in America, LBJ LBJ the president who took over right
- 32:22the president who took over after Kennedy died.
- 32:25Never was anything, but a politician and he's the first
- 32:27multi-millionaire politician in the history of American
- 32:31politics. He died worth 100 million of the
- 32:34old dollars and he used to laugh at.
- 32:36It was his wife's success at the radio station that made all the
- 32:40money, right? He was an actual criminal and
- 32:43from Everything we know after this deep State, everything that
- 32:49went on with, it has been going on with their financial
- 32:52surveillance and their system of control since that exact moment.
- 32:55So, the simulation right? Always tends towards a
- 32:59entertaining outcome? So I've been predicting for a
- 33:02long time that Kennedy will have this role because it in the end,
- 33:07the Bitcoin story does go back to what happened in the 1960s
- 33:12and what happened to the Deep state.
- 33:14And where they started involving themselves in the American
- 33:17system. So I Revel at this amazing turn
- 33:22of events and that he is now joining public life.
- 33:25When I saw he was running for president.
- 33:26I said, this is one of the best things whether or not he has no
- 33:29chance in the Democrat situation.
- 33:31Right? But what Trump might offer
- 33:33because he's not a stupid guy when it comes to this stuff,
- 33:35right? He's not an idiot.
- 33:38Might be just that right now. It's all just circus.
- 33:41It's all for fun, right? This is politics and smolenski.
- 33:45I think has it wrong, right? By the way.
- 33:48She's super smart and I agree with you, but I would say this
- 33:51to you, Nolan, I would say this during the transition, all it
- 33:55takes are important. After the fact, that's why we're
- 33:58here Bitcoin makes politics irrelevant over the long term
- 34:02agreed. But it's already there.
- 34:03I mean, you know, you can even go back to just a simple.
- 34:05Jordan Pederson, clean your own room.
- 34:07Yeah. Right.
- 34:08We've all just got to do it, you know, that's why the memes are
- 34:12so good. That's why the, the laughs Soooo
- 34:15the LOLs, right? Everything that that Bitcoin PR
- 34:18did with the riot video and the, the perfect calibration of the
- 34:23joke, where the people who didn't get it, that's the joke,
- 34:26the joke is the people who didn't get it, right?
- 34:28It's a clear but you test? That's the joke.
- 34:31I know, you know, everyone out there.
- 34:32Oh, he was too subtle, right? No, no, it's perfect, right?
- 34:36It was perfect. And you know the ability to
- 34:41laugh about this stuff and to be entertained, frankly.
- 34:44Watching Thump, get to go wild on the Kennedy situation.
- 34:48And by the way Trump has said because you know that the reason
- 34:52I do not support Trump. This second time around is
- 34:56because of Ed and Julian and yep law that he had the chance.
- 35:00Yeah. No I get it.
- 35:02I have always understood of a human level.
- 35:03Why it didn't happen, right? Who knows what's threats are on
- 35:07them, but there is a story baked into those two weeks between,
- 35:11you know, the the protest of January 6th and And everything
- 35:15that happened later where he had told that, you know, the judge
- 35:19that's on Fox judge knows. He's got that Italian name.
- 35:22I don't know, I can't remember his name but he's on Fox News.
- 35:25He told him during the administration that he was going
- 35:27to release all the JFK files. And during that period this
- 35:31judge said are you going to do it right?
- 35:33Are you going to release these files and he goes not.
- 35:35If you saw what I saw you on, if you saw what I saw, that's
- 35:38fucking crazy. Anyways, anyways so you guys
- 35:42just I'm going to play you guys a video so that you guys first
- 35:45and a little bit more, what Nolan is referencing what we're
- 35:48talking, what we're talking about.
- 35:50And the reality of what is the Deep State Nolan?
- 35:53I've refused to call the Deep State anymore.
- 35:56I've now transitioned to call the administrative State because
- 35:59it's right up in your grill and Kennedy was mentioning this.
- 36:03Here's a very famous video of one of his very last speeches
- 36:07before he was assassinated. Let's check it out. cabbage
- 36:15members of the American Society of newspaper, editors, ladies
- 36:19and gentlemen, The president of a great democracy such as ours
- 36:26and the editors of great newspapers such as yours.
- 36:30Oh, a common obligation to the people an obligation to present
- 36:34the facts to present them with candida and to present them in
- 36:40perspective. It is without obligation in mind
- 36:45that I've decided in the last 24 hours to discuss briefly.
- 36:49At this time, the recent events in Cuba.
- 36:54On that unhappy Island as in so many other Arenas of the contest
- 36:59for Freedom. The news has grown worse instead
- 37:03of better. I have emphasized before that.
- 37:07This was a struggle of Cuban Patriots.
- 37:12Totally the wrong video. But you got, man, I can't find
- 37:15it, hold it down. Let me, let me even add the
- 37:19frame that I use regularly for the Kennedys.
- 37:21Now does everyone know the book, The Fourth turning?
- 37:23It's pretty yeah, Mueller amongst bitcoiners.
- 37:25Now if you look, I always recommend that people watch the
- 37:28van, nice tat, fourth turning video.
- 37:32It's just the bet you don't. The book is terrible.
- 37:35Don't need to read it. It's written in academic.
- 37:37He's from the 90s. It's illegible anymore.
- 37:40But the van nice that video that he made is one of the most
- 37:43beautiful things you'll ever see.
- 37:44You just see his. It's Casey neistat's brother,
- 37:47right? Who made this video, like the
- 37:49literal inventor of YouTube youtubing, hind the original
- 37:53YouTuber. So the video that he produced on
- 37:57this cuts, the era's that we live in the Golden Era of the
- 38:03first history block the 80 years of History.
- 38:06So for the for the audience members who don't know, this
- 38:09book suggests that America lives on 80-year History Cycles.
- 38:11If you go back 80 years you hit World War to go back. 80 years
- 38:14before that hit the Civil War, go back 80 years before that you
- 38:17hit the Revolutionary War. So there a two-year cycles.
- 38:19Each of those 80 year Cycles, broken up to 20 year history,
- 38:22blocks golden age, unraveling and then finally, you get to now
- 38:27crisis, right? So here's the way, he breaks
- 38:31them down and I agree entirely with these history blocks.
- 38:33So the end of the goal The era, the the Mustangs, the
- 38:38convertibles the Corvette's, the bikinis rock and roll everything
- 38:43about the golden age that happened after World War two
- 38:45ends, when Kennedy is assassinated and the financial
- 38:52crisis and 100%. And I found the video, guys.
- 38:55It extremely difficult to find. By the way, you can't do that.
- 38:58Had to use DuckDuckGo to find it.
- 39:00But this is the one, and this is Kennedy, this is one of the last
- 39:04video. This Is one of the last speeches
- 39:06that he made before he was assassinated, let's check it out
- 39:09for. We are opposed around the world
- 39:12by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.
- 39:16That relies primarily on Covert means for expanding its sphere
- 39:20of influence on infiltration instead of invasion, on
- 39:25subversion, instead of Elections on intimidation, instead of free
- 39:30choice on guerrillas by night, instead of armies by day, It is
- 39:36a system which has conscripted vast human and material
- 39:40resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient
- 39:45machine, that combines military, diplomatic intelligence,
- 39:51economic scientific and political operations.
- 39:56You guys get the point though, right?
- 39:59And he was assassinated shortly after making that speech.
- 40:03And it's also it in. There is a there is a speech
- 40:06that there was a video that was made by Robert Breedlove.
- 40:08A recent like a shorty of vertical.
- 40:10One minute, video basically, Breedlove was making the case
- 40:13that Kennedy actually wanted to end the Federal Reserve as well.
- 40:17Right there was a lot of talk about that.
- 40:19I think even issued some kind of you know some kind of process
- 40:25that would have rain. The Min, but the Federal Reserve
- 40:28wasn't the problem that it that it became years later, the start
- 40:32was the financial subversion and supervision.
- 40:36That happened in the immediate wake of it because it was the
- 40:38dissent that what had to be quote.
- 40:40Right. It was people asking questions
- 40:41about why the super popular president was killed.
- 40:45And now if you ever check you can do this on your own.
- 40:48You can go. Look at the New York Times and
- 40:49look for the words, conspiracy theory as a combination of words
- 40:53and see if it was ever published before 1964, it wasn't right
- 40:55ever. There's no Thing, the concept
- 40:57was invented at the time to stunt any one of these
- 41:00conversations, which is why it's so funny.
- 41:02It's they're using it on Bobby of community Junior.
- 41:05Now, and, you know, if you asked Nixon right?
- 41:09If you ask Nixon who was done in by fake news.
- 41:12By the way, we found out now that the whole thing about water
- 41:15gipp, Eyerly scam, just like Russia gate.
- 41:18He was T was taken down by the administrative State and he was
- 41:21also a very, very popular president.
- 41:24There's the most popular president in the World that
- 41:27we've ever had the 1972 numbers proportionately.
- 41:31Show him to be the most popular president America has ever had.
- 41:34His re-election was by the greatest margin in the history
- 41:36of American politics and he was finished within two years of
- 41:40that within two years. He was contrite and using much
- 41:43the same mechanisms that were used on Donald Trump.
- 41:46And and so, if you asked him, if you asked him and people have
- 41:51Roger Stone, has Roger Stone, has Nixon tattooed onto his
- 41:54back. Roger Stone.
- 41:56Is a super fan of Nixon and worked at his office in
- 42:01California and and got into politics because of Nixon in the
- 42:05first place. And he became friends with Nixon
- 42:07later on in life very close friends.
- 42:09And he said, Nixon was convinced.
- 42:11It was LBJ who killed him. It was LBJ, who killed who
- 42:15killed him. All right.
- 42:16And that's what the Tucker, Carlson story where I first
- 42:19started referencing Bobby. Kennedy jr.
- 42:21Back in November on my show was about.
- 42:24It was about opening up these questions and indeed Need the
- 42:27the whole image that Americans have of themselves.
- 42:30The whole idea of being this thing in the world has to be
- 42:35confronted. And that's the amazing thing
- 42:36about Bitcoin. Because, you know, I've spoken
- 42:39about it many times and it's I think an amazing coincidence
- 42:43Bitcoin, for example, you know, the the day on which we are
- 42:47closest and farthest from the sun, the planet earth, right?
- 42:50It's not exactly. Aligned with the solstice,
- 42:53right? It's not, it's not December 22nd
- 42:56and Jun. NT.
- 42:56S the beginning of the official beginning of winter when the
- 42:59game some actually July 4th and January third.
- 43:06It's actually that right it's not it January 3rd is the day,
- 43:10right? Yeah.
- 43:10So years ago, the guy who invented public-key
- 43:14cryptography, a gun in Whitfield Diffie literally invented public
- 43:18key cryptography. Both separating of the keys with
- 43:20a gun and Martin Hellman Merkel Ralph Merkle, you all would
- 43:23recognize from work for trees. So when he invented it, he
- 43:28became obviously, it's the most important innovation in
- 43:31cryptography since medicis Florence, right?
- 43:33It was a huge civilian. In breakthrough, in
- 43:36cryptography. Every other breakthrough in
- 43:37cryptography was from military. He was the first as a civilian
- 43:40to do it and all public key infrastructure.
- 43:43The concept of Bitcoin comes from his Discovery in the same
- 43:46way that Bitcoin was discovered. He discovered this thing and in
- 43:512017 when Bitcoin started to spike for the second time,
- 43:56right? It had a lot of attention and he
- 43:58still does a big cryptographers conference.
- 44:01It's a little bigger than Bitcoin 2023, but not much.
- 44:04It's In cryptography conference in Moxie marlinspike the shit
- 44:08coin, purveyors speaks on that one you know signal blah blah
- 44:12blah. So he was there with all the
- 44:15other great Emeritus cryptographers and they were
- 44:19shitting on bitcoin off. These fucking kids can just
- 44:21decide what they are? Are they going to be
- 44:23revolutionaries or is it going to replace the gold standard?
- 44:26What are they going to do? And that a DOT and with Diffie
- 44:29interrupted him and he goes, no, no America never had to choose
- 44:33and its history. Whether it was a we force or a
- 44:37imperial power. It just did both, it was the the
- 44:41two ends of a, the same spectrum and in so many ways, Bitcoin can
- 44:46help that turning. And and that's the history of
- 44:48America. It's sort of Cycles over into
- 44:51this wheel right where we do oscillate between revolutionary
- 44:55force, and Imperial power and and we are now do for the
- 44:59Revolutionary character to come back and you actually can't have
- 45:03that turning without Me being something that can be accounted
- 45:08for and be understood, right? With.
- 45:11We have hegemonic political money, which is what we've got.
- 45:16You're going to get this imperial system.
- 45:18Yeah, and that's why it's such an important thing for Americans
- 45:21to indeed, but, but this is why I say politics aren't
- 45:24necessarily the road, I can't say there aren't?
- 45:26I used to believe that I use Duolingo?
- 45:28I would Nolan. I would go a Step Beyond that.
- 45:30I think politics are used as a divide and conquer.
- 45:35Mechanism where the left is convinced that the right is the
- 45:39Boogeyman. The right is convinced that the
- 45:41left is the Boogeyman and the entire time, they're just
- 45:43printing money out of thin air and just basically stealing from
- 45:47everybody, like it, that that's the mechanism and is this is
- 45:50bitcoiners like, well, at least. We'll we dedicate the channel to
- 45:53try to get people to understand like Bitcoin is neutral.
- 45:56It's not red versus blue, it's green, verse orange.
- 45:59Like that is the actual fight. This is the fight at hand.
- 46:02Yeah, they're in the end in the end.
- 46:04It Is with whoa, Chasm versus bitcoiners that I've been
- 46:07predicting II titled a show last week.
- 46:11We're going to be hunted just for Having the courage to say
- 46:15Bitcoin fixes this, like that, that that's gonna put a Target
- 46:18on your back for saying something.
- 46:19So simple and obvious, right? Just for saying that is going to
- 46:23be, you know, you've got a choice.
- 46:26You've got to get ready for elimination or have the courage
- 46:29to say Bitcoin fixes this, it sounds so simple, but it's going
- 46:33to be harder and harder because indeed, it won't be blue and
- 46:36red. It's going to morph because it
- 46:38has no choice now to morph into. Whoa, Chasm versus Bitcoin.
- 46:44Yeah, it's gonna be for people that, you know, are basically
- 46:47for. You know, the current basic at
- 46:50the base of the dollar system or people that are for Bitcoin and
- 46:53freedom, right? And I think that is the future.
- 46:56Anyways guys, you can only really protect yourself in this

- 48:45DM, if you have any questions, doubts, or concerns Opti, what
- 48:48are we covering? Today, my friend.
- 48:50Well, first and foremost, wow, love that.
- 48:53Love that content, and all that context.
- 48:55That was amazing. This is, this is why I love
- 48:58coming to the show. You never know what's actually
- 49:00going to take it back. Could you could?
- 49:01You could we just take a second to appreciate the relevant
- 49:05people? It's Nolan NPR where it says
- 49:07government-funded media. And then underneath it's been
- 49:09going back at sea. Oh, man, if you know what's been
- 49:13going on with NPR on Twitter, I highly recommend searching us.
- 49:16Oh, yeah. Before I You know we had all
- 49:20that great conversation. I was like what do we do?
- 49:22Usually do here with our guest, we highlight what our guests do.
- 49:25So first and foremost, let's I wanted to give Nolan a spot to
- 49:29plug what he does every single day on Twitter and so I mean you
- 49:32kind of already did it but let's do it again and you can explain
- 49:36exactly what your philosophy is behind.
- 49:38Your what? It'd be a Twitter Twitter show.
- 49:42I do it on YouTube, I got a YouTube channel.
- 49:43Yeah, yeah. So the idea is that we're in a
- 49:46relationship with money, right? And that facts, You know, that,
- 49:49you know that a lot of people are familiar with the Ben.
- 49:52Shapiro statement. Facts.
- 49:54Don't care about your feelings. Well he has it 180 degrees
- 49:57wrong, right feelings. Don't care about facts and
- 50:00that's most people's operating system.
- 50:02And so my argument always is around Bitcoin anyway that the
- 50:06persuasion game that works best with Bitcoin is not facts and
- 50:11arguing about economics, right? It's not about because it's not
- 50:16like you're going to have a central.
- 50:17Banker a go. Oh shit we just printed.
- 50:19The other too much thing, the whole thing falls apart, right?
- 50:22You're going to be dealing with their own cognitive bias with
- 50:25their own inability to see anything else in the future,
- 50:29besides what they know, right? And so the frame that I use for
- 50:33the economy comes from the Austrian School of or not.
- 50:36We're dealing with numbers but not math, right?
- 50:38We're dealing with what I call psychological engines and the
- 50:42economy is a psychological engine.
- 50:44And so what I do every day is not to sell Bitcoin on its
- 50:48merits. What What I do is show the other
- 50:50side of the trade while you're dumping dollars and that's why I
- 50:53use the term, The Break-Up, we set it up as if you're in an
- 50:56abusive relationship. And here are the reasons to get
- 50:59out of the relationship. Here, are the reasons to stop
- 51:02using these tools to help paint a picture of the future for
- 51:06yourself that you would work towards its?
- 51:08You know, the feeling of a breakup is really that right
- 51:10when a breakup does happen and you feel loss, what's going on
- 51:13is you've already predicted a future.
- 51:15You've already painted a picture of the future and what it might
- 51:18look like and now it To take that away.
- 51:20And a lot of people do have an idea of what America is supposed
- 51:24to be and is going to be, and that's one of the weaknesses in
- 51:27some ways. I had the idea to do the show
- 51:29this way because, you know, I've been involved.
- 51:32It's my 10 years of being a professional in Bitcoin right
- 51:36now. And when I got started, I took a
- 51:39few trips to China and when China was big on bitcoin and I
- 51:42still have never been so enthusiastic.
- 51:44As when I saw average Chinese people, an average Americans
- 51:47enthusiastic about Because that's exactly what you're
- 51:50saying. It's the dividing and conquering
- 51:51but when the average people understand that their enemy is
- 51:54the financial system, there's a lot more of an ability to
- 51:59project a better future and to predict a better future in to
- 52:01have a vision of a better future.
- 52:03So the thing that I noticed about the Chinese folks was they
- 52:06didn't have patriotism towards their money, they love their
- 52:09country, they love their culture, they love all kinds of
- 52:11great things and I love the same things about America.
- 52:13There's a lot. I love about it, right?
- 52:15But these folks were not weighed down by the Patriotic.
- 52:19Feelings about their money. They didn't have a relationship
- 52:21with money in the way that Americans have a relationship
- 52:24with money. That's kind of like love or
- 52:26something like that. We all love money, right?
- 52:29We love money, right? And indeed, we find ourselves in
- 52:33an abusive relationship when it comes to those love because the
- 52:36system is sort of not all it's cracked up to be in his in his
- 52:40actually creating a situation where Americans are completely
- 52:44180 degrees wrong about their country and about the things
- 52:48that it does in the world. And it takes a long time to open
- 52:51your eyes to that, right? It's hard to see when you're in
- 52:53an abusive relationship. So I realized that the Americans
- 52:57because of this patriotism had a disadvantage and I wanted to
- 53:00address that disadvantage with a show that talked about
- 53:03psychology. So we look at the fake news
- 53:04everyday, right? We love showing what fake news
- 53:07is out there. Showing how psychological
- 53:10operations work showing what cognitive dissonance looks like,
- 53:13right? The fellow in the BBC interview
- 53:15is a case in point of what cognitive dissonance.
- 53:17Looks like you start talking gibberish You can't make any
- 53:20sense and then you got to leave because you don't want to have
- 53:23to go through the work of re-imagining, what the future
- 53:27is. And and indeed that's the other
- 53:29part of the show that I like to end with.
- 53:31So I start with the reasons why you'd want to dump the dollar,
- 53:35but then I always contrast it with the commercial
- 53:37relationships. The things that bitcoiners can
- 53:39do together that can make seeing a better future actually easy.
- 53:43You know, it's sort of a kind of a meme about bitcoiners, is a
- 53:47Bitcoin fixes this, and this is what the future can be.
- 53:49Like and this is what things are going to be like and indeed once
- 53:52you understand Bitcoin picturing the future and having a loving
- 53:57relationship with the money that is in.
- 53:59The future is very easy, right? We want, it's natural for people
- 54:02to love money, you just have to be in a relationship that is
- 54:06with a healthier form of money, right?
- 54:08That's the important part of it. So that's the show, right?
- 54:11It's just a contrast. Look at the outcomes from the
- 54:16Fiat system. Look at the entropy in the
- 54:17system. Look at the The system has to
- 54:20produce a better future and contrasted with we're already
- 54:23doing in Bitcoin contrasted with how individual Freedom
- 54:26individual initiative, contribute called contributor
- 54:29culture can help inform this better future and indeed that's
- 54:34a lot of what we are programming at Bitcoin 2023, right?
- 54:37We've got all kinds of reasons about a nun and all kinds of
- 54:41explanations about what's breaking in the world and we
- 54:44contrast those with what bitcoiners are actually
- 54:46building. So you get a sense of What's
- 54:49breaking, what has to change, why it has to change?
- 54:53And you also get this whole sense of what is being built.
- 54:56And in the end, it all comes down to time preference and
- 54:59everything else. The austrians have been trying
- 55:02to explain to people. And that's the kind of content
- 55:04you're going to get at the show. Absolutely love it.
- 55:08I couldn't agree more with your message.
- 55:10I've been saying the same thing for a long time.
- 55:12That you know, using logic is not necessarily the best tool.
- 55:17We have other tools in our toolbox Out guys.
- 55:20And Nolan. That was absolutely beautiful
- 55:23but I did also see you do work for Big Time Magazine.
- 55:27You guys did drop another news story or another announcement.
- 55:30Yes or today. No.
- 55:31Yesterday do you want to talk about this or we can go into the
- 55:352023 conference, wherever you want to take this?
- 55:37This is important too because it's, you know, speaking of
- 55:40relationships and changing our idea of ourselves and what's
- 55:44going on, you know, one of the things that you see changing in
- 55:47Europe is the energy, E literacy right energy literacy.
- 55:51There's some people who say that Putin funded a lot of the Greta
- 55:54stuff that's going on and and and made sure Europeans were
- 55:58sensitive to Greta's feelings as if it was an important part of
- 56:02energy policy and the difference there now, after their
- 56:08difficult, winter and energy supplies, and let's admit their
- 56:11amazing success and new infrastructure for liquid
- 56:14natural, gas and storage of it. You know, that's amazing what
- 56:17they did do, but we're seeing Now, on nuclear energy, for
- 56:22example, we're seeing them start to realize that they become a
- 56:25vassal of the US dollar and and of us because who asked for who
- 56:31cares, who did North stream? Who made?
- 56:33Sure it was okay to do. It was us energy companies,
- 56:35right? It was us energy companies and
- 56:37so now we have in Europe energy literacy that is starting to
- 56:42increase to the point where they're getting up to speed
- 56:45where most Americans are especially Texans on energy
- 56:48literacy, they're Wanting to understand what goes into
- 56:50energetic systems. What goes into the grid?
- 56:53What goes into load balancing and all the things that Bitcoin
- 56:56is now our audience at our show, we anticipate and we always just
- 57:01we program as if our audience is already the most energy literate
- 57:04audience in the world. And that's one thing we even
- 57:07bring to our sponsors. For example, we let them know
- 57:10that look are our guys. They don't have to hear your
- 57:13pandering. They can hear what your real
- 57:14plans. Are, they can hear about what
- 57:16you're actually thinking about. What you're seeing because
- 57:18they're not going to get Sensitive.
- 57:19When you say one little thing about greenhouse gas emissions,
- 57:22we don't care about Greta's feelings about our show.
- 57:25We don't care what Greta has to say about our programming, and
- 57:29it's now available for us to do that in Europe and really
- 57:32capture their new awareness about how energy policies have
- 57:36been keeping them down, keeping them ignorant, keeping them
- 57:38poor, and it's a big wake-up call for them.
- 57:41So we think that this can be a huge thing in Europe because
- 57:44this is a whole new story for them and you get France.
- 57:48Now on, On board with nuclear energy, you get the Dutch on
- 57:52board with nuclear energy and one of my predictions, one of my
- 57:55predictions is that the, you know, we don't necessarily need
- 58:00Bitcoin. In everyone's wallet to have
- 58:02hyper Bitcoin ization today and I'm not one of these 50 years,
- 58:06we get hyper Bitcoin ization, I'm not there, I'm like, 20, 24
- 58:10to 20 28, it's happening. And the reason I say that is not
- 58:14again because I don't, we're not going to scale it so that we can
- 58:16have transactions that everyone can buy.
- 58:18Bitcoin everyone can The coin. But what can happen is the
- 58:20following when the energy, when the energy markets themselves,
- 58:25energy exchanges, energy infrastructure, all the energy.
- 58:29Participants if the u.s. dollar is no longer capable of being
- 58:32their reference rate as being the just the number through,
- 58:38which they measure economic output of their industry.
- 58:40Right now, you get this new shit coin coming out of bricks with
- 58:44the Chinese and the Russians and they're going to launch their
- 58:46own money and it's going to compete with the US dollar will
- 58:48make. Maybe right.
- 58:50But sounds like another sounds like the same old thing.
- 58:52So I predict that's going to fail.
- 58:54And in the end, if there isn't a currency that the energy
- 58:57companies themselves, who run the world, who run the world,
- 59:00right? The political parties are not as
- 59:01powerful as the energy companies themselves, so we can actually
- 59:05take their greed and just give them a venue to use their their
- 59:09markets and give them instruments that allow them to
- 59:13settle their contracts. And suddenly, If energy is
- 59:17priced in Bitcoin, we're actually.
- 59:19In hyper Bitcoin ization and we have moved to the Bitcoin
- 59:22standard. And if that happens, I believe
- 59:25it can happen in the short term. The u.s. dollar is going the way
- 59:28of exactly what you say. I don't think there's any style,
- 59:31any way stopping this Ubi and see what he sees and all that
- 59:35stuff. It's just, it's going to be
- 59:36there, right? There's there's a, there's
- 59:38enough NPC's in the world and I used to think we could save
- 59:41every NPC are not sure if it's possible anymore.
- 59:44I think Fiat goes to what it was always destined to be political
- 59:47money so it won't be good for energy.
- 59:49Settlements. Right?
- 59:50It'll be good for paying for people to food stamps.
- 59:53That's food stamps and I ain't going to buy you a steak, it's
- 59:56going to buy you Cricket sandwiches, right?
- 59:59So that will probably be the greatest orange pill in the
- 1:00:03world, right? I can't, you know, we talked
- 1:00:04about, you know, facts and it's feelings.
- 1:00:07No one wants to eat crickets sandwiches, unless they're
- 1:00:09completely brainwashed. These people exist, right?
- 1:00:13Everyone else who wants a hamburger and a steak and all
- 1:00:16that stuff are going to naturally become bitcoiners and
- 1:00:18the The industry itself is going to cuddle up to bitcoin, like
- 1:00:22we've never seen the same way Wall Street cuddled up to
- 1:00:24bitcoin and it did right Wall Street did cuddle up to bitcoin
- 1:00:29despite all the things you here. I worked on Wall Street for
- 1:00:32years and saw exactly how it went and and and so between we
- 1:00:38so Nolan, I think you buried the lead there because I really want
- 1:00:40to focus on that. There's an emphasis on energy at
- 1:00:44the Bitcoin 2023 conference. Yeah.
- 1:00:46Yeah. This is that.
- 1:00:47Why is that, could you elaborate a little bit more?
- 1:00:49Again because we have the most energy literate audience in the
- 1:00:52world and energy companies are interested in not having to
- 1:00:56filter everything through the Greta filter.
- 1:00:58And so you know, it's true. They don't want to have to
- 1:01:01explain all the stuff I have one.
- 1:01:03I use the word ESG. One time.
- 1:01:05It's ESG laugh my ass off like that.
- 1:01:07That's it. That's the only time we're ever
- 1:01:09going to talk about ESG. It's a complete Wall Street
- 1:01:11scam. It's just another excuse to pay
- 1:01:14folks, more money to look at your Investments and to give you
- 1:01:17stupid advice, you know? All you can tell it's a scam for
- 1:01:20this. Now, you might think energy
- 1:01:24stuff on its own is a good idea, right.
- 1:01:26I don't even want to argue with that.
- 1:01:27I'll give you that, right? And you might think the social
- 1:01:30governance thing on its own is a good idea.
- 1:01:32I don't need to argue that, right?
- 1:01:34I'll respect you. If you believe that that those
- 1:01:38things are important and they might be right.
- 1:01:40We're not here to argue that putting them together.
- 1:01:42On the other hand is a scam. They don't belong together.
- 1:01:45There's nothing to do environmental stuff, and social
- 1:01:47governance are not even closely. Dated, that's how you can tell
- 1:01:50it's a total scam so I'd our show we've got you know you see
- 1:01:55these new. So my prediction is more or less
- 1:01:58the following right up until now most Bitcoin events would do
- 1:02:02things like, how do we get stranded energy important, right
- 1:02:05important? How do we plug into the grid
- 1:02:07important, right? All important stuff.
- 1:02:11What about energy contracts also important, right?
- 1:02:15What we're going to be talking about, and it's probably the
- 1:02:16first time it's ever gonna be done at this scale.
- 1:02:18Is we're talking about Financing of energy projects, we're
- 1:02:22talking about the Bitcoin financing of decentralized
- 1:02:26energy, grits and that is something that hasn't really
- 1:02:30been talked at scale at an event the way we're gonna do it.
- 1:02:34So we've got folks who understand Finance, understand
- 1:02:37Bitcoins, capability and finance.
- 1:02:38Understand what goes on in energy Finance understand what
- 1:02:42go on in all the base load and energy requirements.
- 1:02:46And from there I think it's going to start sprouting.
- 1:02:48Now, I don't I know if I'm going to get the headline this year of
- 1:02:52a Bitcoin mind going in with a small modular nuclear reactor to
- 1:02:56finance and all that stuff, right?
- 1:02:59I'm trying hard to get that, you know, out, right?
- 1:03:03Not sure if it makes it this year, but everything we do this
- 1:03:05year will make it so that I guarantee within a year, you're
- 1:03:09going to hear a headline on a Bitcoin magazine stage, where a
- 1:03:13nuclear reactor a small modular nuclear, you know, the ones that
- 1:03:17the Americans are sending to the British Us a hundred million
- 1:03:20dollars. A pop.
- 1:03:20That's it. And you own the energy, right?
- 1:03:23You only energy. Now that in itself is an
- 1:03:27incredible potential, right? Because the whole thing with
- 1:03:31nuclear is you need a constant load, right?
- 1:03:34You can't turn a nuclear New Riders on a bit dimmer.
- 1:03:36Even the small modular ones, right?
- 1:03:38There's no dimmer. It's like Max or shut it down.
- 1:03:41So load balancing becomes super important and now you even look,
- 1:03:47you know, Trump had this thing. Remember what he said He said
- 1:03:49when he had that gave a talk a few weeks ago, when he said
- 1:03:53we're going to do Freedom cities, a competition for ten
- 1:03:55cities and to start from scratch, right?
- 1:03:58We're going to start cities from scratch, you got Elon Musk over
- 1:04:02and text list, Texas, making his freedom city as a prototype for
- 1:04:05his own staff. You get Bitcoin City and I'll
- 1:04:08Salvador you know people laugh, ha ha, ha, Bitcoin city right?
- 1:04:12The Saudis right. The Saudis who, by the way we're
- 1:04:15never given nuclear energy by the Americans, right?
- 1:04:19They asked for it a million times we said no no no no no.
- 1:04:22The minute, they sold that oil to the Chinese for Juan.
- 1:04:25Guess what they got in return. The thing America wouldn't give
- 1:04:28them right shame on America. So they didn't want to create
- 1:04:31Regional troubles, right? Well, now, they're going to get
- 1:04:33it anyway, right? So, there you go.
- 1:04:35Anyways, anyways, Nolan, we are approaching our time.
