$100M: Andrew Tate Goes All-In on Bitcoin | EP 992 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:02
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:05
  Bitcoin. It's going on forever.
• 0:15
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:24
  Because they want to sell. It eventually, Michael.
• 0:26
  I mean, let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, you
• 0:28
  sure if some people pass it on to their children, but like most
• 0:31
  of the people who are buying assets at some point want to
• 0:35
  sell the assets at a profit. So I mean.
• 0:37
  Let me say it differently. People that use Fiat currency as
• 0:41
  a store of value, there's a name for them.
• 0:43
  We call them poor. Yo, welcome to the Bitcoin Live
• 0:47
  the number one watched Simply Bitcoin.
• 0:50
  No Bitcoin Daily, only live show on YouTube.
• 0:53
  Rumble and X is your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
• 0:55
  revolution. Go Breaking News, Culture, Matic
• 0:58
  Warfare. Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for
• 1:00
  being a tad tardy. We're streaming from We are
• 1:03
  streaming live from the Canadian Bitcoin Conference venue in
• 1:07
  Montreal and Quebec, Canada. It's been a it's been an
• 1:11
  interesting morning. It's always always when you set
• 1:14
  up at different venues and stuff you're kind of like running
• 1:16
  around and seeing you know what cables work what cable doesn't.
• 1:20
  We have some something interesting for you guys that
• 1:22
  we've never done on simply Bitcoin.
• 1:24
  We got the multi Cam in the house trying to present a better
• 1:29
  show for for everybody. Anyways, loads to unpack today.
• 1:33
  We also have a very special guest joining us as well.
• 1:36
  Before we get to it, I want to tell everybody what we're going
• 1:39
  to talk about. So of course Andrew Tate went on
• 1:42
  Bitcoin Twitter. No, just on Twitter yesterday.
• 1:45
  The post absolutely blew up 30,000 likes and literally said
• 1:51
  the quiet part out loud. The banking system sucks.
• 1:54
  You know, this is someone who's been persecuted.
• 1:55
  I get that he's a divisive figure, but this is someone who,
• 1:59
  you know, to use his words, not mine, The Matrix strongly
• 2:03
  dislikes. And he says, look, I've had
• 2:05
  enough of this. I'm going to exit and go into
• 2:09
  Bitcoin now. We've seen other mainstream
• 2:12
  figures say something very similar, like Tim Poole when he
• 2:16
  was talking about referencing the banking collapses on his
• 2:18
  very, very famous show, saying he says, listen, I'm going to
• 2:21
  opt out, I'm going to opt out to Bitcoin, right?
• 2:23
  You have Joe Rogan mentioning Bitcoin here and here and there.
• 2:27
  And all of this is important because we all have to remember
• 2:30
  that we are, we are in in, we are in an echo chamber.
• 2:34
  So we are making content for other bitcoiners, but we
• 2:38
  sometimes forget the fact that, you know, there's people that
• 2:42
  are outside the echo chamber when you have these mainstream
• 2:45
  influencers spreading the Bitcoin message, that is really,
• 2:50
  really good for our cause. Like, it's incredible for our
• 2:54
  'cause. I can't emphasize that enough,
• 2:56
  right? So we're going to talk about
• 2:57
  Andrew Tate today. Also on the political front, it
• 3:01
  seems to be escalating. There was a member of the House
• 3:04
  of Representatives. His name is Wiley Nickel and he
• 3:07
  was saying the choir proud out loud like, look, the the DOJ,
• 3:11
  the Biden administration and elements of the Democratic Party
• 3:14
  are weaponizing, you know, the criminal justice system in order
• 3:19
  to go after the Bitcoin industry.
• 3:22
  And of course, not to mention Biden, 30% proposed tax on
• 3:26
  Bitcoin miners, right? Clearly this has become a, you
• 3:29
  know, a political witch hunt. Clearly they want a monopoly for
• 3:33
  their central bank digital currency.
• 3:35
  They don't want any competition whatsoever.
• 3:38
  And there's consequences to that.
• 3:40
  We've covered Wallet of Satoshi, We've covered Phoenix Wallet.
• 3:43
  All these Bitcoin companies are just choosing to leave the
• 3:47
  United States because of the regulatory uncertainty and the
• 3:50
  news that just dropped. We have IBEX Pay, which we're
• 3:54
  huge fans of. We're huge fans of at Simply
• 3:57
  Bitcoin. I think we were using it for
• 3:58
  the. Simple.
• 3:58
  That's how we use the merge sort.
• 3:59
  Right. So, So yeah, I mean, like there
• 4:02
  are consequences to this and supposedly America is the home
• 4:05
  of the brave land of the free, but it's not acting, it's, it's
• 4:09
  not acting that way. Also in other news as well, the
• 4:12
  tornado cash case is over and the tornado cache developer has
• 4:18
  now been prosecuted. He is.
• 4:22
  He's been basically deemed guilty by the system by the
• 4:27
  Matrix, and he's going to be serving a jail sentence for like
• 4:33
  60-4 months. I think that's roughly five
• 4:36
  years. And he's serving a jail sentence
• 4:38
  for money laundering. But if you break it down, like
• 4:42
  the dude just wrote code, like he just wrote code.
• 4:46
  And they even they even said it in like the the documents, the
• 4:50
  court documents, like look like he didn't directly launder
• 4:53
  money. But because he built tools,
• 4:55
  right? Because he wrote code, which is
• 4:57
  a form of speech, he is guilty of enabling people to launder
• 5:02
  money, right? If Satoshi was not anonymous, I
• 5:06
  guarantee you he would be in a box right now.
• 5:09
  I guarantee you he and he'd be in prison.
• 5:11
  So again, different set of rules for the banker elite.
• 5:14
  They don't get to go, they don't go to prison.
• 5:16
  No banker went to jail for 2008. But of course anybody that's
• 5:20
  developing freedom enabling technologies, you know, has been
• 5:24
  persecuted just like was predicted in the book, The
• 5:27
  sovereign individual. Anyways, no more delay.
• 5:30
  I do want to bring up our very special guest.
• 5:33
  We have Kent. Kent is the CEO of.
• 5:55
  I lost my output. I'm not hearing you guys
• 6:02
  technical issues. There we go.
• 6:04
  There we go. OK, so, all right, so I'm
• 6:07
  introducing Kent. So Kent is the CEO and the
• 6:10
  founder of SAS Mining. And SAS Mining is Bitcoin mining
• 6:14
  as a service. I I really see it as like
• 6:17
  literally like as easy as ordering an Uber but for Bitcoin
• 6:22
  miners, right? I don't know if you're going to
• 6:23
  get upset with me saying that, Kent, but that's really the way
• 6:26
  that I see it. Like you guys took away all the
• 6:28
  complexities, you guys hid it behind this very easy to use AI,
• 6:32
  very intuitive, but it still gives the ability for people to
• 6:36
  mine Bitcoin and like you said that could be a potential way
• 6:41
  for them to stack for for them to dollar cost average cheaper
• 6:45
  than if they were to buy on an exchange.
• 6:47
  So thank you for coming on and joining us today, Kent.
• 6:52
  Yeah, pleasure to be here, Nico, and excited to talk about all
• 6:56
  this fun we're having right now. And then they fight you.
• 6:59
  A stage of the game. I don't know if we lost audio
• 7:03
  again, but. Yeah, no, no, I'm, I'm muting it
• 7:06
  over here. It's it's getting loud over
• 7:08
  here. Yeah, got it.
• 7:09
  It's the background noise. Yeah, got it.
• 7:11
  No. And our clients right now, I
• 7:12
  mean basically we don't see ourselves competing as much with
• 7:15
  the, the rest of the mining industry so much as hey, we're
• 7:18
  given this opportunity for our clients to acquire Bitcoin
• 7:21
  outside of the exchanges, right. So it's native Bitcoin
• 7:24
  acquisition. And oh by the way, the cost to
• 7:27
  acquire Bitcoin via our platform at the moment is just 48,000 as
• 7:31
  compared to an exchange, which is what's the price today, 66.
• 7:36
  Yeah, I mean it's, it's significantly cheaper.
• 7:39
  By the way, guys, you can start with SAS mining today.
• 7:42
  We're going to also you know show this off during the culture
• 7:46
  segment, but you got to go to sasmining.com/simply Bitcoin and
• 7:51
  you can get started, you know, using a a Bitcoin, a Bitcoin
• 7:59
  mining as a service platform. Like oh man, OK guys, so much.
• 8:05
  This has been an incredibly hectic early morning just
• 8:09
  because it's always is every time they set up a conference
• 8:13
  the day before, get all the cables run and all that stuff.
• 8:17
  But we will be streaming for you guys tomorrow the entire
• 8:22
  Canadian Bitcoin conference from the Simply Bitcoin channel, also
• 8:26
  from the Simply Bitcoin Twitter and also from the Canadian
• 8:29
  Bitcoin Conference Twitter handle as well.
• 8:32
  So you'll you'll, you'll, you guys will be able to see all
• 8:35
  these panels from some of your favorite Bitcoiners.
• 8:37
  Safedeen is will be here as well.
• 8:40
  It's going to be two days Friday and Saturday.
• 8:42
  RIP me and Opti. Last time we did that at Bitcoin
• 8:45
  Bitlock boom, it was holy cow. So we're going to we're going to
• 8:49
  cover all of this stuff. We're going to have the live
• 8:51
  stream for you guys uninterrupted because it will be
• 8:54
  uninterrupted. I don't think we'll be able to
• 8:56
  do the live show tomorrow. But what we'll do is that
• 8:59
  usually around the time that the live show starts, Opti and I
• 9:02
  will kind of drop in and say hi to everyone and tell everybody
• 9:05
  what's going on. So you know, that's literally 2
• 9:08
  days of continuous 9:00 to 5:00 for two days Bitcoin signal of
• 9:14
  some of the most well respected bitcoiners in the industry.
• 9:17
  Some of the brightest minds in between the commercial breaks
• 9:20
  and lunch breaks, me and Opti are going to be holding down the
• 9:23
  news desk and hopefully bringing you guys some incredible
• 9:26
  interviews as well. All right guys, no more delay.
• 9:29
  Let's jump straight into the show.
• 9:31
  But before we do that, I do want to give an incredibly special
• 9:36
  shout out to the Bitcoin company that powers this show.
• 9:40
  And of course I am talking about Bitcoin.
• 9:44
  Well, Bitcoin well is the best place attic self custody Bitcoin
• 9:50
  stack. It's a self custody by default
• 9:54
  platform. What does that mean?
• 9:55
  That means that you can't buy Bitcoin on on Bitcoin.
• 9:58
  Well, unless you're going to take self custody.
• 10:03
  Exactly. So guys, it's like it's a
• 10:06
  publicly traded company coming out of Canada.
• 10:08
  It recently expanded to all 50 and a self custody by default
• 10:12
  platform is just a very fancy way of saying that you can't buy
• 10:16
  Bitcoin on Bitcoin. Well, unless you're going to
• 10:19
  take self custody, right? So they incentivize you in a way
• 10:24
  for you to learn how to, you know, learn a little bit of
• 10:26
  personal responsibility. You know, you know, buy a
• 10:29
  hardware wallet, write down your seed words and boom, after you
• 10:33
  buy it, the funds clear. It goes straight into your cold
• 10:36
  storage account, doesn't even give you the ability to leave it
• 10:39
  on the platform. Self custody is the revolution,
• 10:43
  which is why Bitcoin, well, perfectly aligns with the simply
• 10:46
  Bitcoin ethos of the separation of money in state.
• 10:50
  To get started, go to bitcoinwell.com/simply and guys
• 10:54
  stack those cheap Sats. Anyways, everybody, let's get to
• 10:58
  the numbers. We have a lot to talk about
• 11:00
  today. Let's check it out.
• 11:03
  The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin in cold storage
• 11:06
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 11:09
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 11:11
  Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
• 11:14
  hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
• 11:18
  instead of just writing them on paper.
• 11:20
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
• 11:24
  Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
• 11:27
  You want to put your generational wealth on one of
• 11:29
  the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
• 11:32
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 11:35
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 11:39
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 11:42
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 11:44
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 11:47
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 11:50
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 11:53
  All things. That paper is not allowing you
• 11:55
  to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
• 11:58
  Stamp your seed on stamp, Seed. All right guys, do you want to
• 12:03
  put yourself in a situation, that camera, where you have to
• 12:06
  explain to your grandchildren why you lost your generation of
• 12:09
  wealth? Do you?
• 12:10
  No, you don't want to do that, which is why you want to stamp
• 12:13
  your seed. Phrase your generational wealth
• 12:16
  on one of the strongest metals on planet Earth.
• 12:18
  Titanium, right? Don't put yourself in a
• 12:21
  situation where you have to explain to your grandchildren
• 12:23
  why you lost your Bitcoin because for whatever reason, you
• 12:25
  decided to store it on paper. That's not a good idea.
• 12:28
  And that's exactly why you should check out Stamp Seed and
• 12:30
  use promo code simply to get 15% off anything on their store.
• 12:35
  All right everybody, let's get to the numbers.
• 12:38
  At the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is $65,190.00
• 12:43
  block height 843,726 SATS per dollar 150 The one 1534 market
• 12:53
  cap 1.28 trillion Bitcoin price in gold 27.5 oz Bitcoin versus
• 13:00
  gold market cap 7.88% Percentage issued 93.8% excuse me, declined
• 13:08
  from all time. High 11.5% forward monetary
• 13:12
  inflation .85% realized monetary inflation 1.67% Continuing to
• 13:19
  take Fiat currencies to absolute school and embarrassing the F
• 13:24
  out of them. We are winning.
• 13:26
  And This is why the flak continues to get heavy.
• 13:29
  Because we are over the target, ladies and gentlemen.
• 13:33
  All right, Andrew Tate, very divisive figure.
• 13:37
  Some people hate him, some people love him, right.
• 13:40
  Some people call him the top G Some some people call him the
• 13:43
  fraud. I don't know.
• 13:44
  I don't know. I'm not.
• 13:45
  I'm not going to comment on. Top G Confirm.
• 13:47
  I'm not going to, I'm not going to comment on what my personal
• 13:51
  beliefs are on on Andrew Tate, unlike Opti.
• 13:55
  But what I will tell you is that Andrew Tate is an extremely
• 13:59
  influential figure. He has a massive following.
• 14:02
  Currently he has 9.2 million followers on Twitter, so
• 14:08
  generally what tends to happen is that if he says something, it
• 14:11
  tends to make a very, very big splash, right?
• 14:15
  So this is what he said May 15th yesterday, he says.
• 14:19
  I know I'm not supposed to do this in in chaotic times, but
• 14:23
  I'm about to leave Fiat completely and ape over $100
• 14:27
  million into Bitcoin and I'll even prove I did it.
• 14:31
  I'm done with the banks. I'm done with their money, done
• 14:35
  with the scams, and then I'm going boating.
• 14:38
  And of course that's referencing the famous, you know, saying
• 14:42
  that we have in the Bitcoin community of I don't have any
• 14:45
  Bitcoin. I lost in the boating accident.
• 14:47
  So yeah, I mean, this is someone that has been persecuted.
• 14:51
  You know, he's been jailed. He was jailed without any
• 14:54
  charge. They locked him in a box for
• 14:56
  months at a time. This is someone that has been de
• 14:59
  platformed from many, many different platforms including
• 15:02
  YouTube and all the other ones, the three letter agency
• 15:06
  platforms, Wink, Wink, I did not say that but but yes, so you
• 15:12
  know, I mean I, I, I, I for, I what I'm expecting is I'm, I I
• 15:16
  believe a lot more people are going to continue and follow
• 15:20
  this trend and it's a one way revolving door.
• 15:23
  Like, you don't go back. You don't exit the Fiat system
• 15:26
  and then go back to the Fiat system.
• 15:28
  You stay in the Bitcoin system. They built themselves a cage.
• 15:33
  They thought that they were going to keep everybody inside.
• 15:35
  People have figured out how to get outside of that cage and now
• 15:40
  they're stuck in the cage and they can't figure out how to get
• 15:42
  out of it themselves, right? So big, big in terms of the
• 15:47
  Overton window shifting, Big deal.
• 15:50
  I hope Andrew Tate takes self custody, right?
• 15:53
  That would be another huge win. But this is what we need.
• 15:56
  This is, this is we're jumping the chasm between the early
• 15:59
  adopters and the early majority. And it's things like this that
• 16:04
  really move the envelope forward, like those 9.2 million
• 16:08
  followers that he has. You can make an assumption that
• 16:11
  a percentage, even if it's a small percentage, will just say,
• 16:16
  you know what, F banks, I'm going straight to Bitcoin.
• 16:18
  So I think it's a big deal in my opinion.
• 16:21
  Anyways, I'm going to pass it on to Kent.
• 16:23
  Can't. What are your thoughts on this,
• 16:24
  man? Is this just noise?
• 16:26
  What are your thoughts, brother? We can't hear, you can't, can't.
• 16:37
  We can fix that. So the way I look at it is,
• 16:40
  Andrew Tate's a bit of a lightning rod, right?
• 16:42
  Like he's going to get a lot of attention for posting this.
• 16:45
  And you know, the way I look at it is any news is basically good
• 16:49
  news for Bitcoin because when the news is out there, it causes
• 16:52
  people to look and see and explore and have some of their,
• 16:55
  the preconceived notions flipped upside down.
• 16:59
  So you know, I think some of the, the early adopters of
• 17:02
  Bitcoin are are frankly dissidents, right.
• 17:05
  I think that regardless of if you like Andrew or not, given
• 17:08
  the political actions that have been taken against him like hey,
• 17:12
  he's he's incentivized to adopt this technology to get out of
• 17:15
  the system and protect himself. So I think that seeing more
• 17:19
  dissidents, regardless if you agree with him or not adopt
• 17:22
  Bitcoin, is ultimately good signal that the game theory of
• 17:27
  Bitcoin adoption is being played out here.
• 17:29
  So onward. 100 percent, 100% We're seeing the game theory
• 17:34
  play out in real time. This has been, I can't emphasize
• 17:37
  this enough, it's been the controversial figure.
• 17:39
  But you can't deny that he has been persecuted by by the.
• 17:44
  I mean he he calls it, he has a name for it himself.
• 17:46
  He literally calls it the Matrix.
• 17:49
  And since I'm saying I'm going to pass it on to Opti.
• 17:52
  Opti, what's your take on this bro?
• 17:54
  Is, is this just noise? What's your take on Andrew Tate
• 17:57
  completely exiting the Fiat system and going straight into
• 18:00
  Bitcoin? Well, you guys probably know my
• 18:03
  take. I mean, the way I look at it is
• 18:05
  I think we've all heard the meme of like everyone that's new to
• 18:08
  Bitcoin. They kind of need their
• 18:09
  crutches. So they lean on people such as
• 18:12
  Andrew Tate. They lean on people that have
• 18:14
  some gravitas that have a following and like Nico pointed
• 18:17
  out, 9.2 million followers. Like, that's a huge Twitter
• 18:20
  account that I think that dwarfs all of mainstream media accounts
• 18:24
  combined. And something I've been saying
• 18:27
  for a while, especially around people such as Andrew Tate is
• 18:30
  the reason he does have such a negative feedback loop and
• 18:34
  people like to talk a lot about a lot of bad things about him is
• 18:38
  because his followers are the the actual demographic that has
• 18:43
  ever changed anything in the history of man, which is the the
• 18:46
  young testosterone filled man. And so if people, even if it's a
• 18:51
  small like a small little bit of the followers follow lead or at
• 18:55
  least he's planting these seeds of completely opting out of the
• 18:58
  Fiat system, especially when we're seeing everything going on
• 19:02
  in the world. I think this does have a a
• 19:05
  somewhat meaningful impact on breaking that Bitcoin echo
• 19:08
  chamber. That's what we try to do
• 19:09
  completely. Yes, we love talking to
• 19:12
  bitcoiners, but what really matters is more people getting
• 19:15
  into Bitcoin. And even if it's one of those
• 19:18
  polarizing moments where they're like, oh, Andrew Tate is in
• 19:20
  Bitcoin now completely, like I'm never going to touch Bitcoin,
• 19:23
  The opposite side is going to be the same and true as well.
• 19:26
  They're going to be like, oh, Andrew Tate just went all in on
• 19:28
  Bitcoin. Maybe I also need to get all in
• 19:31
  on Bitcoin not just for the number go up aspect of this but
• 19:34
  because of the quote UN quote you know the matrix attacking
• 19:37
  you and if they can do it too someone as influential as Andrew
• 19:41
  Tate then don't get it confused and don't be naive that they
• 19:44
  won't do it to any one of us here.
• 19:46
  Yes, maybe we don't have the impact that Andrew Tate does.
• 19:49
  But if they can do it to someone like Andrew Tate or like I'm not
• 19:54
  going to say it but you know he's a politician that is a very
• 19:58
  devices as well if they can cut you out of the baking system
• 20:00
  completely, what do you think the average person like?
• 20:03
  What can the average person do to protect themselves And it's
• 20:06
  obviously opt out completely and there's one part of.
• 20:09
  Of that tweet that I really did like, and I hope he does follow
• 20:12
  through, is that he's not going to basically be just trust me
• 20:16
  bro. He's like, I'm going to prove to
• 20:18
  you that I completely exited the Fiat matrix.
• 20:21
  And someone in the chat asked like, I wonder how much of his
• 20:23
  net worth that is. And I think it's all of it.
• 20:26
  He said I'm exiting completely. So if he goes all in, I'm sure
• 20:30
  he might be into some, you know, some crypto, some shit coins and
• 20:34
  all that stuff. But if he's completely all in on
• 20:36
  Bitcoin, no. Dude, he said.
• 20:37
  He said Bitcoin. He did not say crypto.
• 20:41
  So. It's not like Trump like a
• 20:44
  couple days ago where it's like ohh, Trump is protecting crypto.
• 20:46
  No, no, Andrew Tate said. Bitcoin, alright?
• 20:49
  So top G confirmed he gets it. Bitcoin only this is the way.
• 20:55
  And and like all of us in the chat, I think most of us have
• 20:58
  already completely opted out of Fiat.
• 21:00
  And of course we only touch Fiat as much as we have to to
• 21:03
  survive. But I think we're going to see
• 21:05
  this happen more obviously, quote UN quote and like the
• 21:08
  dissident media first because we're most at risk to be
• 21:12
  debanked. And if you've already been
• 21:14
  debanked, then there's only one way you go and you realize, Oh
• 21:17
  yeah, it's Bitcoin. That's the only thing that's
• 21:18
  going to protect me, and that's where I need to be anyways.
• 21:21
  Let's get the real dissident. Take care from Rusted all.
• 21:24
  Right. All right.
• 21:25
  So let's a couple days ago, didn't he just go all in on
• 21:30
  GameStop? No, not all in, not all in.
• 21:32
  I think it was like 500 lbs. And then the next day, there's a
• 21:35
  little pump. And now I'm in on the Bitcoin
• 21:38
  bandwagon. I'm just saying, you know, he
• 21:41
  knows how to market himself. I think Andrew Tate, maybe he's
• 21:45
  Andrew, the current thing. Tate, and you know, I say sell
• 21:49
  your roaring kitties. If if it's a Roaring Kitty and
• 21:52
  it's not a yellow Malacca, get it the hell out of here.
• 21:55
  OK, sell those. Buy yellow Malacca's and banana
• 21:58
  bread. That's financial advice.
• 22:02
  OK. OK.
• 22:03
  I like that. I like that we're going to also
• 22:05
  do that so that we're properly, everything's properly set up.
• 22:09
  But anyways. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:11
  Andrew Tate. Interesting, interesting,
• 22:13
  interesting. All right, everybody.
• 22:15
  Before we move on to, before we move on to the news segment
• 22:19
  which we have a lot to unpack. It's going to be literally
• 22:23
  packed from the top to the literally so much to cover in
• 22:28
  regards to the the state, the establishment fighting back
• 22:34
  because bitcoiners are winning. And you know this is becoming a
• 22:38
  mainstream political issue which we could have never have
• 22:42
  imagined before. But now it is on the docket.
• 22:46
  You have two candidates that are running pro Bitcoin.
• 22:51
  They've both been on the record saying that Donald Trump and RFK
• 22:55
  Junior and then you have a candidate on the other side
• 22:58
  that's on been on the docket also saying that he's anti
• 23:01
  Bitcoin and he is pro central bank digital currency.
• 23:05
  So purely from a regulatory perspective, Bitcoin is on the
• 23:09
  ballot this month, this year, which is nuts.
• 23:12
  Like if you ever would have told me that 10 years from now, 15
• 23:15
  years from now, 15 years ago, better said could you have ever
• 23:19
  have imagined Bitcoin becoming legal tender a Black Rock ETF.
• 23:23
  Larry Fink talking about Bitcoin on national television and now
• 23:27
  you have literally a presidential election that this
• 23:31
  has become a contentious or political issue in.
• 23:36
  So absolutely crazy how all of this is happening and it's
• 23:39
  happening very very, very quickly.
• 23:41
  So I do want to give a very special shout out to our sponsor
• 23:47
  and of course I am talking about the the the Pleb party.
• 23:53
  I don't know why I can't show this Opti.
• 23:54
  Here we go. Better here I am talking about
• 23:58
  the Pleb Party in Nashville. It's going to be in Nashville.
• 24:03
  It's going to be around. Thank you, obviously appreciate
• 24:06
  it. So many things that are
• 24:08
  happening. Anyways, so the Pleb Party is a
• 24:11
  12 hour open bar from noon to midnight.
• 24:15
  Everything is included in your ticket and it's going to be the
• 24:19
  day before the largest Bitcoin conference in the world hosted
• 24:23
  in Nashville, TN. The Pleb Party is July 25th, so
• 24:27
  day right before the conference. If you're already going to the
• 24:30
  Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, this is a must go
• 24:34
  event. All your favorite bitcoiners are
• 24:36
  going to be there, your friends are going to be there.
• 24:38
  And what you don't want to happen is that the tickets sell
• 24:42
  out and you just you you can't. You know you you won't be able
• 24:45
  to buy any at the door, right? Also not to mentioned that
• 24:48
  there's roughly like 50 tickets are things like 40 tickets left
• 24:52
  at the current price point of 200.
• 24:55
  Once those are gone, the prices go up and the scarcity increases
• 25:00
  even more. So current confirmed attendees
• 25:02
  include Larry Leopard, Preston, Pitch, the entire Simply Bitcoin
• 25:06
  crew including Nico Soft, Sophie, Opti Ruston, James
• 25:10
  Lavish, Robert Breedlove, Mark Moss, Pubby Tatum.
• 25:13
  Turn up to be hosted an amazing rustic automobile factory from
• 25:17
  1910 with brick walls and tons of proof of work atmosphere.
• 25:22
  Over 100 bitcoiners are expected to attend.
• 25:26
  The one in Miami was an absolute slapper sailor made an
• 25:30
  attendance pro. Just to kind of give you an idea
• 25:32
  of how popular this party is. You don't want to wait till last
• 25:35
  minute. You're going to not be able to
• 25:37
  buy tickets and you're not going to be able to go to this party.
• 25:40
  So hope to see you guys there. Opti and I are going to be
• 25:42
  there. Russ is going to be there.
• 25:43
  Sophie's going to be there. It's going to be absolutely
• 25:46
  awesome. All right, everybody, let's move
• 25:48
  on to the news. We have a lot to talk about
• 25:50
  today. The Daily News.
• 25:56
  I want to give a shout out to our sponsor, Foundation Devices.

• 27:24
  just easy. It's intuitive, you know?
• 27:27
  So guys, check out Passport by by Foundation Devices.
• 27:30
  One thing you don't realize when you get it too is like how dense
• 27:34
  and heavy it is. Like it's a solid piece of
• 27:37
  equipment I. Really it's it's built really
• 27:39
  really really well. So scan the QR code or check the
• 27:42
  link in the video description. All right, everybody do want to
• 27:45
  move on to the news for today. The political battle is
• 27:50
  escalating, the separation of money in state.
• 27:53
  What did you expect? Of course the state was going to
• 27:56
  fight back. That's that's into it.
• 27:57
  That's that's obvious, right. So anyways, here is a
• 28:02
  democratic, right? Remember, if I've told you guys
• 28:04
  right, it it it's not monolithic.
• 28:07
  Even though the Democratic Party not as a whole, has been a
• 28:10
  little bit more hostile towards the industry than the Republican
• 28:13
  Party. It's not black or white.
• 28:15
  That's what we've been saying for the last couple of days.
• 28:18
  And then this representative is starting to say the choir part
• 28:21
  out loud. So what is the choir part out
• 28:23
  loud? The choir part out loud is this
• 28:26
  is a losing issue to whatever political, whatever politician
• 28:32
  starts to take an anti Bitcoin stance, full stop.
• 28:36
  It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on.
• 28:39
  I think everyman being wants uncensorable money.
• 28:43
  I think every human being wants money that doesn't debase and
• 28:47
  money that doesn't steal from you.
• 28:49
  I think that's incredibly obvious.
• 28:51
  So I think that this move is going to hurt Biden's chances of
• 28:58
  getting re elected right anyways.
• 29:00
  And I'm not the only one to say this.
• 29:02
  Representative Willie Nickel, He said Unfortunately the SC CS
• 29:06
  open hostility towards the digital asset industry isn't
• 29:10
  serving Biden a President Biden's best interest.
• 29:13
  The SEC is turning cryptocurrency regulation into a
• 29:16
  political football and forcing President Biden to two sides on
• 29:20
  an issue that matters to many Americans.
• 29:24
  Right. So again, like, like this is,
• 29:28
  you know, this is BS and this has been a non-stop, you know,
• 29:33
  relentless attack towards the industry.
• 29:36
  I'll go through a couple of them.
• 29:37
  Opti, could you make me let's let's make this one full screen.
• 29:40
  OK. So this has been a relentless
• 29:42
  attack, right? You had Operation Choke .2 point
• 29:45
  O. You had the proposed 30% tax on
• 29:50
  Bitcoin miners in the United States.
• 29:52
  You had the the Presidential Economic Report that dedicated
• 29:58
  20 entire Effing pages to making the case.
• 30:03
  As to why I'm making the case as to why central bank digital
• 30:09
  currencies are necessary and Bitcoin is not necessary because
• 30:14
  it doesn't come from the state. So it can't be, you know it
• 30:17
  can't be. You can't trust it as money.
• 30:20
  And you know what's actually funny about the Presidential
• 30:22
  Economic Report is that you guys know the person that wrote this
• 30:28
  report, the head of that department, because they went
• 30:32
  viral a couple weeks ago. And I'll let you guys what he
• 30:36
  has to say. the US government can't go bankrupt because we can
• 30:41
  print our own money. It obviously begs the question,
• 30:45
  why exactly are we borrowing in a currency that we print
• 30:48
  ourselves? I'm waiting for someone to stand
• 30:51
  up and say why don't we borrow our own currency in the first
• 30:55
  place? Like you said, they print the
• 30:58
  dollar, so why? Why does the government even
• 31:00
  borrow? Well, the so the I mean again,
• 31:08
  some of this stuff gets some of the language that the MMM some
• 31:13
  of the language and concepts are just confusing.
• 31:15
  I mean, the government definitely prints money and it
• 31:18
  definitely lends that money, which is why the government
• 31:21
  definitely prints money and then it lends that money by by
• 31:25
  selling bonds. Is that what they do?
• 31:29
  They they. They.
• 31:31
  Yeah, they they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right.
• 31:36
  Since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them the
• 31:39
  money. Yeah.
• 31:39
  So a lot of times, a lot of times, at least in my year with
• 31:44
  with MMT the, the language and the concepts can be kind of
• 31:47
  unnecessarily confusing. But there is no question that
• 31:50
  the government prints money and then it uses that money to.
• 31:58
  All right, I'm going to leave it there.
• 31:59
  Point made. That is the guy that is the
• 32:02
  chair of the, you know, economic advisors to President Biden
• 32:07
  which is his organization. His department is responsible
• 32:11
  for writing the Presidential economic report, right?
• 32:15
  They asked him how Fiat works. And that's just like his brain
• 32:20
  straight Mitch McConnell. Right there.
• 32:23
  No. But it's not only that, Russ.
• 32:24
  And it's worse than that because it's like not only did they ask
• 32:27
  him how Fiat works, at the same time he's bashing Bitcoin,
• 32:31
  right? So, like, it's crazy.
• 32:33
  Anyways, so I've laid out a couple facts.
• 32:35
  There's been other things that they've done.
• 32:37
  Not to mention you know the the the FBI press release the you
• 32:41
  know the bogus Hamas. The the the article that came
• 32:46
  out of the Wall Street Journal that claimed that you know Hamas
• 32:50
  was using Bitcoin to launder money that came out to be a lie.
• 32:53
  So yeah the point that I'm trying the collusion between
• 32:56
  Gary Genzer and the SEC and Elizabeth Warren.
• 32:58
  All of this is by the way you can don't trust me you can
• 33:01
  verify it. The Biden administration has
• 33:03
  been extremely hostile towards this industry bring.
• 33:07
  Up Jamies side chick again. I don't know what that is, nor
• 33:12
  I'm going to go there, she. Funds Bitcoin, He stacks it.
• 33:15
  That's their game plan. They've been doing it forever.
• 33:17
  Nico, what, what? What is this with Liz Warren?
• 33:20
  She's she's for the banks, then she's anti Bitcoin, which is in
• 33:25
  turn for the banks. Right now the banks are for
• 33:30
  Bitcoin. And at this, it's got to the
• 33:32
  point where now the banks and everyone else are just going
• 33:35
  away from Liz Warren. So let her go and all roads lead
• 33:39
  to Bitcoin. All roads lead to Bitcoin.
• 33:42
  Amen to that Ruston. Coming in with a hot fire guys
• 33:44
  tune into simply Bitcoin originals, Ruston.
• 33:48
  It's dropping really, really good signal.
• 33:50
  Really good original content. Anyways, So going back on track
• 33:54
  to what I was saying, clearly one side one.
• 33:58
  You know President Biden hostile towards Bitcoin.
• 34:01
  That's where you can vote. Or you can vote for RFK or
• 34:04
  Donald Trump. Both have advocating for
• 34:07
  Bitcoin, which we've been showing you guys over the last
• 34:09
  couple of months. Anyhow, this is the breaking
• 34:12
  news of today. Tornado cash developer Alexei
• 34:15
  Pertetz, sentenced to 64 months in prison in the Netherlands,
• 34:21
  goes on to say a Dutch court. Oh thank you Sir.
• 34:25
  A Dutch court convicted 31 year old Alexei Pertse of laundering
• 34:30
  $2.3 billion in cryptocurrency through the Tornado cash mixer.
• 34:35
  Dutch prosecutors have alleged that Perce designed Tornado Cash
• 34:39
  to be the ideal money laundering tool through a use of smart
• 34:43
  contracts. Conversely, pertwits defenders
• 34:47
  argue that these same attributes made Tornado Cash such an
• 34:51
  effective privacy tool. Right.
• 34:53
  So it's like they're literally, this isn't a they're not going
• 34:56
  through legislation. They're locking up people,
• 35:00
  putting them and say you laundered money.
• 35:02
  You created a tool that was used to launder money.
• 35:05
  You didn't launder money yourself.
• 35:07
  You just created a tool to do it.
• 35:09
  We're going to lock you up. And then that set a precedent
• 35:12
  for eight months later for the Samurai wallet guys to get
• 35:16
  arrested and to be put in a box. Right now I'm, I'm, I don't
• 35:20
  know, man, like the the Samurai guys, like that's going to be
• 35:25
  like, I hope he wins, bro. But when I'm seeing this,
• 35:28
  they're trying to send you a message.
• 35:30
  The bankers could launder money. They get fines.
• 35:33
  But anyone else outside the outside of the system, anyone
• 35:37
  else that is outside, you know, use the escape valve, escape the
• 35:40
  the gilded golden cage of banking.
• 35:43
  No, no, no. You have a different set of
• 35:45
  tools for you. Right here is Mandrake's take on
• 35:48
  all this. I think it's incredibly, you
• 35:50
  know, credibly on point. Free speech is illegal in the
• 35:53
  Netherlands. Based on the tornado cash
• 35:55
  verdict. 64 months in prison for writing code because that's what
• 36:01
  it was. Writing code.
• 36:03
  This has consequences. What are the consequences?
• 36:06
  Consequences of this? Ibex following Satoshi.
• 36:11
  The wallet of Satoshi following Phoenix following Wasabi, just
• 36:17
  announced May 16th, so today that they're suspending their
• 36:21
  services in the United States. So this is the home of the brave
• 36:24
  land of the free, but they literally have worse rules than
• 36:28
  China at this point, like, like and and then this is exactly
• 36:34
  what this Democratic representative was talking
• 36:37
  about, is that this has become a political game and I he believes
• 36:42
  that it's going to hurt voters. Now all that negative news there
• 36:45
  is positive news. And shout out to Dennis Porter
• 36:48
  because he's really been crushing it with this for the
• 36:52
  last year. So just shout out the Satoshi
• 36:54
  Action Fund. Go check it out.
• 36:55
  A hugely massive breaking breaking.
• 37:00
  Yes, a bill protecting your fundamental Bitcoin rights has
• 37:03
  been signed into law in the state of Oklahoma.
• 37:05
  Oklahoma will now defend your right to self custody.
• 37:09
  Right to spend Bitcoin and digital assets, Right to mine
• 37:12
  Bitcoin Right to run a node. It will also ban additional
• 37:16
  taxes when Bitcoin and digital assets are used as form of
• 37:20
  payment, protect the ability to mine Bitcoin at home, eliminate
• 37:23
  the need for Bitcoin mining and digital asset validators to
• 37:27
  obtain a money transmitting license.
• 37:31
  So he's trying to get ahead of the because the federal
• 37:33
  government's trying to like with the wording with the FBI press
• 37:36
  release and with the arrest of the tornado cash developer, all
• 37:39
  these precedents that are being set.
• 37:41
  The next step is for them to say oh you have a Sparrow, you have
• 37:45
  Electrum on your computer. Oh those are money transmitters.
• 37:49
  If they don't have KYC, you know like you can't use that.
• 37:53
  That's where they're going with this.
• 37:54
  They're going after self custody.
• 37:56
  That's why these states are taking pre emptive measures.
• 37:59
  That's why Cynthia Lummis is is bringing this up and she's
• 38:05
  protecting the right for individuals to to take self
• 38:10
  custody here. This is a a breaking video that
• 38:13
  was just dropping. It just just dropped from simply
• 38:15
  Bitcoin Twitter, which you should follow.
• 38:18
  It's one of the best Bitcoin aggregators, Bitcoin news
• 38:21
  aggregators in the game anyways, Senator Cynthia Lummus says it
• 38:26
  out loud. Not your keys, not your coins.
• 38:28
  She's of course referencing, you know, self custody.
• 38:32
  Right. The video is a little bit long.
• 38:35
  It's about 3 minutes, 48 seconds, So I don't know if
• 38:37
  we'll be able to play it. Let me see how we're doing on
• 38:38
  time. Yeah, so let's play the video.
• 38:42
  Let's check it out. Here we go.
• 38:44
  Sets is in a self hosted wallet, but not everyone can custody
• 38:50
  their own digital assets, including institutional
• 38:53
  investors that the SEC requires to use a qualified custodian.
• 39:00
  Regardless of what each Senator thinks about digital assets,
• 39:02
  they should want consumers and institutional investors to have
• 39:07
  the option of placing their assets in the safekeeping of
• 39:10
  prudentially regulated institutions.
• 39:12
  Unfortunately, Staff Accountable 121 prevents this.
• 39:18
  By placing customer assets on the balance sheet of the
• 39:22
  custodian SAB 121 also means the capital requirements apply.
• 39:28
  Banks would have to hold as much as a dollar of capital for every
• 39:30
  dollar of customer assets, as much as the SEC would have you
• 39:35
  believe otherwise. The bank regulators have no
• 39:37
  discretion on this point. Banks must follow US Generally
• 39:41
  Accepted Accounting Principles when calculating capital
• 39:44
  requirements. Finally, SAB 121 demonstrates
• 39:48
  how the SEC will push forward its regulatory agenda at the
• 39:52
  cost of transparency and the stakeholder input that is
• 39:56
  required by law. The Senate could have avoided
• 40:00
  this if SEC Chair Gary Gensler was willing to direct staff to
• 40:05
  revise Accounting Bulletin 121 to keep customer digital assets
• 40:11
  off the balance sheets of custodians and engage in a
• 40:14
  transparent process. Refusing to revisit this policy
• 40:19
  after bipartisan criticism is odd.
• 40:22
  The majority of the SEC staff accounting bulletins from the
• 40:25
  last 30 years have been revisions and rescissions of
• 40:29
  prior guidance. Revisiting and fixing accounting
• 40:33
  standards, especially when there's a new technology is
• 40:36
  warranted and encouraged. Guidance is meant to be
• 40:39
  flexible. It is not meant to set policy
• 40:43
  which would require notice and comment by those that will be
• 40:48
  regulated pursuant to that regulatory process.
• 40:52
  But apparently Chairman Gensler would rather politicize
• 40:55
  accounting standards to achieve policy goals in the banking
• 40:59
  industry, an industry I'd like to remind him he does not
• 41:02
  regulate rather than conduct A transparent policy making
• 41:07
  process. Maybe it's because Chairman
• 41:09
  Gensler knows that putting customer assets on the balance
• 41:12
  sheet is bad policy that would garner enough support to
• 41:16
  finalize a rule. Or rather, would not garner
• 41:19
  enough support to finalize a rule.
• 41:21
  Maybe it's because he's committed to an ill informed and
• 41:25
  unworkable fight against the digital asset industry at any
• 41:28
  cost. Unfortunately, SAB 121 does
• 41:32
  nothing to protect consumers. Nothing to protect consumers.
• 41:38
  It hurts them. I hope that all of my colleagues
• 41:42
  will recognize this and join me in voting in support of House
• 41:46
  Joint Resolution. All right ladies and gentlemen
• 41:50
  so also breaking news while we were covering this this is
• 41:54
  absolutely historic. It seems like there are very
• 41:57
  influential Democrats that are breaking branch Biden
• 42:00
  administration breaking ranks from Elizabeth Warren and they
• 42:04
  are I'm getting chills what I'm saying this they are voting in
• 42:08
  favor of this bill and it's also Caitlin Long is basically making
• 42:12
  the assumption that if the Senate votes at 60 Biden will
• 42:18
  drop the drop the the the the threatened veto for the bill.
• 42:23
  This is absolutely this is absolutely no no it's what we
• 42:26
  were saying about the Democratic senator.
• 42:28
  They were realizing that this is a non winnable issue.
• 42:31
  You cannot win on that. Look, if you take a look at the
• 42:34
  numbers, Democratic voters and Republican voters, they're all
• 42:38
  holding Bitcoin. They are all pro Bitcoin, right?
• 42:41
  And what Elizabeth Warren and the current administration is
• 42:44
  doing is anti Bitcoin. But what all these senators are
• 42:47
  realizing is that I want to get re elected again.
• 42:50
  It's probably a good idea not to go against this.
• 42:53
  Self preservation at the end of the day and that's that's the
• 42:56
  game theory. Self preservation and and
• 42:59
  Bitcoin just real time playing out and just shitting all over
• 43:03
  the political system. You'll love to see it, but also
• 43:06
  seeing it come around to. Do what it's supposed to and.
• 43:10
  Support the people in its constituents. 100% and this is
• 43:13
  Bitcoins game theory baked in. Incentives are more powerful
• 43:18
  than coercion. You're seeing incentives at play
• 43:21
  right here. I do want to give a shout out to
• 43:23
  the Democratic Senators that broke ranks.
• 43:26
  So we have Senator Brooker, Booker of New Jersey.
• 43:29
  We have Senator Casey of Pennsylvania.
• 43:31
  We have Senator Tester. I believe that state is
• 43:34
  Minnesota or Montana. We have Senator Rosen of Nevada.
• 43:37
  We have Senator Peters of Michigan.
• 43:39
  We have Senator Gillibrand of New York.
• 43:41
  We have Senator Hickenlooper of of Colorado, and we have Senator
• 43:47
  Lujan of New Mexico. Yes, bitcoins, incentives stay
• 43:50
  winning no matter how much coercion they tried to throw at
• 43:53
  us. You know, it's it's winning.
• 43:56
  They fear that this might cost him an election, that this is
• 43:58
  not a popular thing. Optic the Super chat.
• 44:01
  Because I do want to give a shout out to the person who's
• 44:04
  supporting the show. Lawrence Forbes.
• 44:05
  Appreciate it bro. Thank you for the five Canadian
• 44:08
  dollars and he says. How's that Tim Horton's coffee
• 44:11
  today, lads? The.
• 44:12
  Coffee's slapping, The coffee is slapped.
• 44:14
  How's that the Canadian? Everyone's a a big fan of the
• 44:17
  Canadian coffee. It's pretty good, a little
• 44:19
  watered down, but better than Starbucks confirmed.
• 44:21
  But dude like like we're this is historic like live on air this
• 44:25
  stuff is happening. Bitcoins and winning bitcoins.
• 44:28
  Winning bitcoins incentives stay winning.
• 44:31
  This is what it is all about. And yes they will get elected
• 44:34
  out we will get sent. We will get Opti into into, you
• 44:39
  know, into the Senate representing Nevada,
• 44:41
  specifically the the, the city of Las Vegas, if that's even a
• 44:44
  thing. And yeah, anyways, I want to
• 44:48
  pass it on to Kent. Kent, sorry, we've we've
• 44:51
  literally rambled on for a long time.
• 44:53
  But it's breaking News Live on air and you know, all this stuff
• 44:58
  going on. So it seems like even with all
• 45:00
  the darkness, even with all these arrests, even with all
• 45:02
  these precedents being sent, it still seems that no one is
• 45:06
  better than their incentives and that, you know, going against
• 45:09
  Bitcoin is probably a losing battle politically.
• 45:12
  What's your take? I I love the comment about
• 45:16
  incentives. I am.
• 45:18
  I'm I'm a huge believer that what Satoshi ultimately invented
• 45:22
  was a way to harness human self-interest, and all the
• 45:26
  actors that wind up purchasing Bitcoin wind up helping the
• 45:29
  network grow. So what I see here is that we've
• 45:34
  been fighting basically a civil rights battle.
• 45:37
  I know it's in the financial sphere, but ultimately the right
• 45:40
  to transact underscores all of all of our other basic human
• 45:45
  freedoms because it's quite hard to express those other human
• 45:47
  freedoms without having the ability to buy and sell goods
• 45:51
  and services. So I love what I'm seeing here.
• 45:54
  I feel like we I got to share with you guys a crossing the
• 45:58
  Rubicon moment here where potentially we just saw the
• 46:02
  moment where the Democratic branch that's been fighting the
• 46:08
  the the Bitcoin movement here gives way.
• 46:11
  And and and hopefully this is the beginning of the dam
• 46:14
  bursting and backing down from you know, the the movement that
• 46:19
  we're on to help people acquire, acquire money that is better
• 46:23
  than the states generating and ultimately separate money and
• 46:26
  state. To that man, I couldn't,
• 46:29
  couldn't have said it better myself.
• 46:30
  I'm also getting breaking news that Elizabeth Warren is crying
• 46:34
  in her office in in fetal position.
• 46:38
  So. Harvest every one of those
• 46:40
  tears. I need those.
• 46:42
  I need them now. And and of course, Russians
• 46:44
  being metaphoric, he's not actually going to do that.
• 46:46
  But but yes, that's the general gist of it.
• 46:50
  Anyways, Opti Rustin, what's your guys take on this?
• 46:52
  I mean, dude like this is crazy. This is happening a lot faster
• 46:54
  than we anticipated. This is awesome.
• 46:56
  This takes me back. Do you do you remember the bill?
• 46:59
  It was a couple years ago when Bitcoiners learned that, hey, we
• 47:02
  can just like, troll all our senators and get them to do what
• 47:05
  we want. You remember that?
• 47:06
  And they were trying to do all this legislation.
• 47:09
  A few of those guys were siding with us then.
• 47:12
  That was cinema, I think I saw and Booker.
• 47:16
  So we have some people from the Democratic side, probably, you
• 47:19
  know, incepting these ideas into the others.
• 47:22
  And I know for the most part those guys support shit coins as
• 47:25
  well. But that's Bitcoin is the Trojan
• 47:27
  horse. It just needs a foot in the
• 47:29
  door, everything else to take care of itself.
• 47:31
  Like at the far end at like when you go far out with Bitcoin, it
• 47:37
  could be a government replacing technology.
• 47:40
  Because at the end of the day, what did Meyer Michelle
• 47:44
  Rothschild say? I care not who writes the laws.
• 47:47
  Let me control the money, right? If you control the money in the
• 47:50
  courts, yeah, I care not who writes the laws.
• 47:52
  And that's what Bitcoin is here. It fixes that entire thing.
• 47:56
  This 5070 year experiment of Tyranny is is coming to a close
• 48:02
  and it's it's just so awesome to see this coming around so fast.
• 48:06
  The game theory accelerating at a pace that I did not.
• 48:10
  You know, I'm thinking 28 is maybe the time when we see a pro
• 48:14
  Bitcoin president next cycle. But here we are right now.
• 48:18
  This this is incredible. To be living through this and
• 48:20
  then to have that come up today. Catelyn Long great job.
• 48:24
  Just keep doing. Keep doing what you're doing.
• 48:26
  Sending out the signal. Dennis Porter's obvious Pennis
• 48:30
  daughter breaking is just incepting the hearts and minds
• 48:34
  of Congress. And it's beautiful because at
• 48:36
  the end of the day, you know, people are going to vote for
• 48:39
  them because they support freedom and the First Amendment
• 48:41
  and the 4th Amendment, all those things that have been taken from
• 48:43
  us bitcoins here to bring it back.
• 48:46
  And as long as they support Bitcoin, they win, You win.
• 48:49
  We all go up, baby. And that's that's good for
• 48:51
  America. I man bro aligned incentive
• 48:54
  structures. You just you just buried the
• 48:56
  lead there Russ. It's aligned incentive structure
• 48:59
  system OPTI. When are you running for
• 49:01
  president? Well, guys, technically I can't
• 49:04
  ever be president, but that hasn't stopped the president
• 49:06
  before, so not anytime soon. I also do not hit the age limit.
• 49:11
  So 2028, maybe we can make a run, boys, maybe 2028 we can
• 49:15
  make a run. But all right, seriously, you
• 49:18
  know, with it, without trolling. I think this kind of makes our
• 49:22
  point and I'm so glad it happened live and we can cover
• 49:25
  our our live reactions to this because we've been saying for a
• 49:27
  while that it's an untenable position to be against Bitcoin.
• 49:31
  Whether you're on any side of the aisle and we were thinking
• 49:35
  that 2028 was probably going to be the year where Bitcoin was
• 49:38
  the defining talking point that the like their stance on Bitcoin
• 49:43
  we thought was going to probably take 2028 before it was like the
• 49:46
  defining conversation whether you're pro or against Bitcoin
• 49:50
  that would define whether you would get re elected.
• 49:53
  Well, it looks like our timeline's getting pushed up and
• 49:56
  now it's becoming the defining conversation in 2024.
• 49:59
  And it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on, if you
• 50:02
  are against Bitcoin, you are against freedom.
• 50:04
  And this really drives me back to another point, and I'm
• 50:07
  blanking on exactly what the news story was.
• 50:10
  But it was sometime last year where bitcoins, Bitcoiners
• 50:14
  rallied around something that was coming out of White House,
• 50:17
  and there was a bit coming out of there, and it might have been
• 50:19
  from Cynthia Lemons. And I'm blanking right now,
• 50:21
  guys. But I remember a sound bite, and
• 50:23
  it basically said that Bitcoiners, as a single
• 50:27
  political bloc, are the most influential political bloc out
• 50:30
  there. And now we're seeing this happen
• 50:32
  and play out in real time. Whoever got the memo, wherever
• 50:36
  the memo came from, they all realized that if you are, wait,
• 50:40
  hold on. You're.
• 50:40
  Against Bitcoin, you're against freedom.
• 50:42
  And you won't get reelected. All these politicians now
• 50:45
  realize that, oh, I need to be pro Bitcoin if I want to be in
• 50:48
  office. And yes, of course they're
• 50:50
  politicians. And you guys know my stance on
• 50:51
  politician. I don't trust them.
• 50:53
  As far as I I can throw them. Yes they are saying things so
• 50:56
  that they get re elected. But that just goes to show that
• 50:59
  the tide is shifting. As Nico likes to say it's
• 51:02
  Thursday, so maybe you go out on Thursday and get a drink.
• 51:04
  The Overton window is shifting and bit corners are important
• 51:08
  and if you are fighting bit corners then the you don't have
• 51:12
  a political position, you're not going to be in office anymore.
• 51:15
  And so now what's that what Kaiser used to say he who owns
• 51:18
  the Bitcoin makes the rules. So he who holds the Bitcoin has
• 51:21
  to get appeased. And now these politicians are
• 51:23
  waking up to the game that hey, we have the best money in the
• 51:26
  world and you can either try to fight us and it's you're going
• 51:30
  to lose like we saw in China in 2021 when they try to ban
• 51:33
  Bitcoin or you embrace us and you realize that it's more it's
• 51:38
  it's a better life on Bitcoin. Not only is it better mentally,
• 51:40
  but it's better financially. And that's what they all want,
• 51:43
  they all want to get paid. We all know Nancy Pelosi's is
• 51:46
  the best trader of our generation.
• 51:48
  So now she's got to appease bitcoiners and we're seeing in
• 51:51
  real time that any politician, whether they're on the left, the
• 51:55
  right or the third parties, it doesn't matter.
• 51:59
  You are either for Bitcoin or you're against freedom.
• 52:01
  It's not left versus right, it is orange versus green.
• 52:04
  And we're saying seeing this play on real time.
• 52:06
  So we'll we'll see how this actually plays out.
• 52:08
  But I think this is very, very good news for us.
• 52:12
  Bitcoin, especially when it seems like we've already lost
• 52:14
  the financial wars or privacy wars in not financial, sorry,
• 52:18
  the privacy wars in America. Now hopefully we can backtrack
• 52:21
  and realize that they have overstepped their their, their
• 52:24
  can here, and if they want to stay in power, they're they're
• 52:28
  they're going to have to appease us because we have the best
• 52:30
  money in the world. Amen.
• 52:32
  Amen to that. Amen to that.
• 52:33
  Hey, we got Larry Leopard. How you doing?
• 52:36
  Larry Leopard. We're live right now.
• 52:38
  Do you want to do you want to say hi?
• 52:39
  Come here, Larry. Come here.
• 52:41
  Let's do the wide shot. Opti, here we go.
• 52:44
  We got Larry Leopard in the house.
• 52:46
  How you doing Larry? Do you have some words?
• 52:48
  No, I got no words. I got.
• 52:50
  I got an update for you. So Elizabeth Elizabeth Warren,
• 52:54
  Gary Genzer and Joe Biden were just defeated politically.
• 52:57
  It seems like in the Senate it's going to be passed.
• 53:00
  Caitlin. Caitlin posted about it.
• 53:01
  Yeah, they got 60. Got an override.
• 53:02
  It's fantastic. Yeah, the the anti crypto army
• 53:05
  is going to die. We got Larry Leopard dropping in
• 53:11
  as a guest. Thanks, Larry and all right
• 53:13
  guys, let's get to the culture to talk about SAS mining,
• 53:17
  Bitcoin mining as a service and of course we got our boy Kent
• 53:21
  here to talk about just that. But before we do that, I do want
• 53:24
  to give a very special shout out to our one of our I'm talking
• 53:27
  about the Orange Blab stack, friends who stack Sats, find
• 53:32
  local bitcoins, events and merchants near you.
• 53:34
  Or the Orange Pill app is the Bitcoin social layer.
• 53:37
  Join the 10,137 bitcoins that are currently on the app.
• 53:42
  It has a really cool, clever filtration system, so you'll
• 53:45
  only find other bitcoins on the app.
• 53:47
  It also has a geographical feature.
• 53:49
  So if you move to a new city, if you're traveling, whatever it
• 53:52
  is, guess what? You pull up the orange pull up.
• 53:54
  It will literally show you the bitcoiners that are around you.
• 53:57
  It's one of the fastest, most efficient ways to reach me and
• 54:01
  Opti. You can send us Adm and try to
• 54:03
  take the time to answer each and every single one of you guys.
• 54:07
  So anyways, no more delay. Let's get to the culture.
• 54:10
  We have a lot to talk about. Here we go.
• 54:17
  The Daily Culture. Guys, I also want to give a
• 54:24
  shout out to our sponsor. Kaboom Racks, the most trusted
• 54:27
  place to buy sell mining equipment.
• 54:30
  You can check out their racks by scanning the QR code on your
• 54:32

• 54:35
  Telegram marketplace or you can connect with a member of their
• 54:38
  sales team. They make purchasing their
• 54:39
  products easy and transparent. You could also sell your mining
• 54:42
  equipment with them access their vast network of domestic and
• 54:45
  international customers. When you sell your mining
• 54:48
  equipment with kaboom racks, guys, check out Kaboom racks
• 54:51
  today. Scan the QR code or check the
• 54:53
  link in the video description Opti.
• 54:55
  Let's go, OK. Alright, Kent, so I know we've
• 54:58
  been ranting. I have your website here.
• 55:01
  So we can start with let's just do a TODR for those that don't
• 55:05
  know what you're working on. What is SAS Mining?
• 55:07
  We know Nico's on the board or he's helping you on the back
• 55:10
  end. No, he's an advisor.
• 55:11
  Sorry, he's an advisor. He's not that cool yet, but OK.
• 55:17
  So for those that don't know, what is SAS mining?
• 55:20
  And then I do have the dashboard loaded up so we can get into the
• 55:23
  details and people can see on the back end what they get into
• 55:26
  when they sign up. So Kent, the floor is yours.
• 55:28
  I got the website do just a TLDR elevator pitch on what SAS
• 55:32
  Mining is and then let's go into the dashboard.
• 55:35
  Yeah. So Bitcoin mining is been
• 55:39
  terribly opaque for most folks and we're here to simplify that
• 55:43
  and give access to low cost power.
• 55:45
  So we built a platform, this web app, where you can jump on
• 55:50
  through a typical e-commerce experience, purchase your mining
• 55:53
  rigs, we get them shipped from China to our facility, get them
• 55:57
  deployed for you. You set up a Service plan,
• 56:00
  Bitcoin goes straight to your wallet, right?
• 56:02
  And currently the cost of mine, a Bitcoin with us is 48,000.
• 56:06
  That's using an objective third party model.
• 56:08
  But you get to have this experience.
• 56:10
  So like Nikko said and much like Uber came along and sort of made
• 56:15
  that taxi riding experience so much easier, more intuitive by
• 56:19
  having an application, we've done the same, right?
• 56:22
  So you have through a few clicks your mining rig deployed and
• 56:26
  Bitcoin starts flow right to your wallet.
• 56:29
  We've designed our business model so that all the revenue
• 56:32
  that we generate gets offset by expenses except for the mining
• 56:37
  rewards. So this is the only way that we
• 56:39
  make money in our business is the mining rewards are split by
• 56:42
  the mining pool when they're sent out.
• 56:44
  We received just 15% of the mining rewards, 85% go directly
• 56:47
  to our clients wallets. So we never custody or touch the
• 56:50
  Bitcoin. We simply instruct the mining
• 56:52
  pool to split that reward. And what that means is we have
• 56:55
  totally aligned incentives. So we suddenly care about how
• 56:58
  quickly your mining rates are getting deployed, how how long
• 57:02
  they're up and operational, if there's repairs, how quickly we
• 57:05
  can get those turned around. And the name of the game is
• 57:08
  we're a service provider, so we're here to be of service.
• 57:12
  This is your mining equipment, you've got the serial numbers to
• 57:15
  it. We're just here to make that
• 57:16
  experience great and to help you stack your Sats a completely
• 57:20
  different way, a native way and the way that Satoshi frankly
• 57:24
  designed the network. And you know, I think we're just
• 57:28
  ahead of the curve here because if you look at the Bitcoin, it's
• 57:30
  disappearing from exchanges. And what are folks going to do
• 57:33
  when there's no more Bitcoin left on exchanges?
• 57:35
  I mean that's that's that's a very real question, you know,
• 57:39
  and it might happen as soon as 2030.
• 57:42
  So we're just here prepping for that and giving people an
• 57:44
  alternative to acquiring their Bitcoin from the exchanges.
• 57:49
  You know, there's certainly a different set of Counterparty
• 57:51
  risks, but you know you're able to acquire Bitcoin the native
• 57:54
  way and and do it while supporting the network and feels
• 57:57
  pretty damn good. Let's go.
• 57:59
  OK, so I pulled up the dashboard here.
• 58:02
  Let's just walk through. We signed in.
• 58:04
  What? What should people expect once
• 58:06
  they get into the dashboard? And then maybe you want to
• 58:10
  direct me to click a few different features.
• 58:12
  So what are we looking at here, Kent, and what can the people
• 58:15
  expect? Yeah.
• 58:17
  So once once you've got your, you set up an account with us,
• 58:21
  right, that's part of the purchase process.
• 58:23
  You complete your account information.
• 58:25
  It's basically you know, verify your e-mail standard stuff,
• 58:28
  complete your rig purchase. So that would guide you to a
• 58:31
  typical e-commerce check out. You know you've got a a choice
• 58:34
  of a couple rigs right now and you can see the value
• 58:38
  proposition right there. So that monthly revenue that's
• 58:42
  inclusive of our 15% management fee, the hosting cost you pay
• 58:49
  for separately, that's part of your Service plan.
• 58:52
  And then there's our electricity price and projected ROI.
• 58:55
  Now projected ROI of course got worse after the the halving
• 58:59
  because everybody's revenue went down in half.
• 59:02
  But you know this is the calm before the the typical storm
• 59:06
  when the bull market starts to rip and and returns get the
• 59:09
  best. So you know this is one of the
• 59:11
  ideal times to still deploy capital into mining and get
• 59:15
  positioned because one of the big mistakes most people make is
• 59:19
  trying to get into mining once the bull market really gets
• 59:22
  underway because then Rackspace and Energy just becomes largely
• 59:26
  inaccessible. So yeah, continuing on here, you
• 59:28
  can choose a a mining rig and proceed to purchase or if we
• 59:33
  want to go through the dashboard, we can go back,
• 59:35
  scroll up to the top of the screen and click back or that
• 59:39
  top little icon. So you purchase your rig, you
• 59:42
  provide us your wallet address by clicking that connect your
• 59:45
  wallet and then you set up your two FA.
• 59:47
  And we want to have a little extra protection for you guys so
• 59:50
  nobody can can break into your account and redirect your mining
• 59:53
  rewards the wrong direction. And then as you start to mine,
• 59:58
  you'll see this part of the dashboard actually populate to
• 1:00:01
  see how much Bitcoin is at your mining pool in your pool
• 1:00:05
  account, how much Bitcoin's been paid out.
• 1:00:08
  How quickly you are ROI ING on your investment in mining and we
• 1:00:13
  do this in terms of Fiat, change it to to SAT's or Bitcoin
• 1:00:17
  depending on how you like to look at things and you can track
• 1:00:19
  all your transactions from the mining pool directly on the
• 1:00:21
  blockchain. So our goal is to continue to
• 1:00:25
  make this more transparent and easy.
• 1:00:27
  We think that there's a game to be played here where frankly we
• 1:00:31
  can kind of almost become a an entity that's fairly hands off
• 1:00:35
  because it's it's quite difficult to manage hundreds and
• 1:00:38
  thousands of clients with this type of business model that all
• 1:00:41
  have specific individual wants and needs.
• 1:00:43
  But we're slowly nailing the billing side of things which is
• 1:00:46
  not trivial to manage and bill properly for electricity, the
• 1:00:50
  payment rails, the display of what the accurate information is
• 1:00:54
  so that we can notify clients when there's issues,
• 1:00:57
  curtailment, maintenance, all in real time.
• 1:01:01
  And the more that we empower our customers the the happier
• 1:01:05
  everybody seems to be. And you know we've we've really
• 1:01:07
  focused in on support. We've got great Trustpilot
• 1:01:10
  reviews and on the support side of things, you know we've got
• 1:01:14
  dedicated clientele and ticketing system.
• 1:01:18
  At the end of the day, the the business that we're pursuing
• 1:01:20
  here, we only win if if we can keep the reputation high in the
• 1:01:25
  marketplace. And so that's our aim.
• 1:01:27
  We want to give customers A a wonderful experience like they
• 1:01:30
  keep coming back and growing their fleets A. 100% that aspect
• 1:01:35
  of the reputational aspect is it's so important because you
• 1:01:41
  know this industry was it was really hurt by the you know the
• 1:01:46
  company that should not be Compass but it was the
• 1:01:50
  reputation was was really hurt by you know this company that
• 1:01:53
  was selling that miners that they didn't have.
• 1:01:57
  I'm not even going to get this specific they were doing some
• 1:02:00
  things that hurt the reputation of the hosting industry even
• 1:02:04
  though you know SAS mining is not a hoster you guys provide
• 1:02:07
  Bitcoin mining as a service to be specific.
• 1:02:10
  But but yeah it it kind of tarnished the name of the
• 1:02:13
  industry and it's a high reputation industry it's it's a
• 1:02:17
  high trust because you are trusting someone else with your
• 1:02:19
  hardware. So reputation is worth more than
• 1:02:23
  gold. Like it really is, right.
• 1:02:25
  Reputation is everything. That's, you know, the part of
• 1:02:28
  the reason that, you know, I I decided to join you guys as an
• 1:02:31
  advisor. You guys have also two very well
• 1:02:34
  known notable bitcoiners like Troy Cross and I forget the
• 1:02:36
  other one and Brandon Quidam and you know, again like these,
• 1:02:42
  these bitcoiners would not put their names behind, you know, a
• 1:02:46
  project that they didn't fundamentally believe in, right.
• 1:02:49
  So, so yeah, I I think reputation is, is everything.
• 1:02:53
  We have an account set up. If you guys want to use our
• 1:02:57
  referral, I think it does it give us a little, does it give
• 1:03:00
  everyone a little bit of a discount?
• 1:03:01
  How does that work? Yeah, 50 bucks off your mining
• 1:03:04
  repurchase. Full beautiful.
• 1:03:05
  So go to sasmining.com/simply Bitcoin and yeah, you can.
• 1:03:11
  You know you can get started today, Rustin.
• 1:03:13
  Yeah, Kent, So just looking at that post having let's talk
• 1:03:17
  about the hardware because like those are some bargain bin
• 1:03:22
  prices people just don't realize you know what is that 4500 for
• 1:03:27
  an S21? Those things were like 9 K just
• 1:03:30
  a few months ago. So check that shit out, be on
• 1:03:33
  top of it and the hardware price is right.
• 1:03:36
  If I remember last cycle S 19's got up to about 10K per rig and
• 1:03:42
  I know the the energy and the mining difficulty and things
• 1:03:45
  coming into play. But as far as the equipment and
• 1:03:49
  Bitcoin and the exposure you get from the investment of the
• 1:03:53
  hardware as well as getting the bearer asset there, what are the
• 1:03:57
  benefits with that? And do you guys say someone
• 1:04:01
  wanted to flee a bad company? Could they ship their miners to
• 1:04:05
  SEZ mining and help increase your hash rate?
• 1:04:10
  Yeah, in fact I was, I was talking to a client just this
• 1:04:13
  morning and getting some feedback.
• 1:04:15
  He had done that, shipped us quite a few mining rigs
• 1:04:18
  actually. And we had talked to him before
• 1:04:20
  he made his initial choice and he said look I I, I took a look
• 1:04:23
  at numbers and I found what I thought was lower priced mining
• 1:04:27
  rigs and I did not realize how much that was going to cost me.
• 1:04:29
  And now I really value customer service and operational
• 1:04:33
  expertise. And so yes, we do, we do provide
• 1:04:37
  a safe shelter for folks that have had a bad experience
• 1:04:40
  elsewhere. The one caveat is that our
• 1:04:42
  facilities in Paraguay and to get them shipped there, we
• 1:04:45
  require a full pallet. So that's about 20 mining rigs
• 1:04:48
  more or less to ship. But if you've got that, we can
• 1:04:51
  definitely help make that happen for you.
• 1:04:54
  And as far as the prices of mining rigs, you know there's
• 1:04:56
  there's this, this, there's three legs of a stool that all
• 1:05:01
  have to be in place for this business model to work.
• 1:05:04
  One is Capital, One is energy and the other is the hardware
• 1:05:08
  itself. And the unfortunate part about
• 1:05:11
  mining is you never get all three legs to to be there at the
• 1:05:16
  same time. But right now is sort of this
• 1:05:18
  magic spot to where the prices have not gone up and then prices
• 1:05:23
  have not gone up for mining rates yet.
• 1:05:25
  Energy costs, we've still got access that we can provide to
• 1:05:28
  our clients and because of that the capital and the beginning
• 1:05:32
  stages of the bull market, the capital is just starting to
• 1:05:35
  flow. We don't have a marketing
• 1:05:37
  budget. We've been just growing by word
• 1:05:39
  of mouth, which is I think testament to the reputation that
• 1:05:43
  we've been building and that that is going to change like the
• 1:05:48
  S 19's rusty to your point, those are going for as much as
• 1:05:51
  15K at the top of the last bull market.
• 1:05:54
  So yeah, things are still very cheap and we've priced our
• 1:05:56
  mining rigs at cost. You know it's completely offset
• 1:06:00
  by expenses. We don't make money on the
• 1:06:02
  mining rigs and so that keeps us with totally aligned incentives
• 1:06:05
  with our clients. Beautiful.
• 1:06:07
  Beautiful. Yeah, man.
• 1:06:08
  And and you know again like I can't emphasize this enough, you
• 1:06:11
  guys are doing it the right way, the way that it was supposed to
• 1:06:14
  be done and I can't, I can't recommend this enough especially
• 1:06:18
  guys like the, you know in in the Kent buried the lead there
• 1:06:22
  earlier on. This is a great way to dollar
• 1:06:25
  cost average at a discounted rate, right.
• 1:06:28
  I think you said it was 45,000 versus the $64,000 rate right
• 1:06:32
  now. So of course. 48. 4848 thousand
• 1:06:37
  so yeah yeah, this is this is great guys.
• 1:06:39
  You guys should definitely check it out Opti.
• 1:06:41
  Wait, Nico, let me pop in here because there's a good question
• 1:06:43
  here in the chat by Andrew Williams Kent.
• 1:06:45
  And it goes Which mining pools does SAS mining use?
• 1:06:48
  Luxor. Right now Luxor is the only
• 1:06:53
  mining pool that we are tied to. So that is one of the control
• 1:06:57
  trade-offs with having us have custody of your, your mining
• 1:07:02
  machine, right? Is that ultimately because our
• 1:07:05
  revenue is tied to the block reward, we have to have a deep
• 1:07:08
  technical integration with every mining pool.
• 1:07:11
  And I'm just been developer constrained to add more mining
• 1:07:13
  pools, but it's definitely on a road map to add more mining
• 1:07:16
  pools and to provide clients with more optionality on the
• 1:07:19
  mining pools. But right now it's Luxor and
• 1:07:22
  they take a 1.1% pool fee off the top.
• 1:07:26
  OK, we got another cool question here.
• 1:07:28
  This is by Soshi Satoshi and goes Can I visit my rig in
• 1:07:32
  Paraguay? You cannot.
• 1:07:35
  And the reason for that is security and discretion are high
• 1:07:39
  premiums in Paraguay. We have just discovered that
• 1:07:43
  discretion is a better part of Fowler.
• 1:07:45
  It's good to have a mind that is located off to the side and not
• 1:07:50
  in the public eye because just you know there's there is there
• 1:07:55
  have been issues and we take security of premium and what
• 1:07:58
  that means is we've got a 10 foot 10 foot fence all the way
• 1:08:00
  around with barbed wire on top, security cameras on the on the
• 1:08:04
  entrance and exit security guard at the gate.
• 1:08:09
  You know log of people coming in and out and we're happy to share
• 1:08:13
  pictures, but but visits are are are very rare for our clients.
• 1:08:19
  Love it. OK, one more question and I I'm
• 1:08:21
  not exactly sure the angle here, but Martin wants to know is
• 1:08:24
  there a referral program? Oh.
• 1:08:28
  Absolutely. Create an account with us and
• 1:08:30
  you'll see in the settings tab that there's an affiliate link
• 1:08:34
  and we've integrated our our web app with with JOLTS and the
• 1:08:38
  reward program and you get an affiliate link.
• 1:08:41
  And that affiliate link you can share liberally and helps both
• 1:08:44
  you and potential purchasers receive Bitcoin rewards for
• 1:08:50
  purchasing using that link. Love it, Love it.
• 1:08:53
  OK, Kent. Well, oh.
• 1:08:54
  I did have one go, Rustin. Are you guys looking to expand
• 1:08:58
  to some other facilities? Do you see some other energy
• 1:09:02
  sites? Are you scouting things out as
• 1:09:04
  we speak? Yes, yes and and happily happy
• 1:09:09
  to talk to folks about it. So we look for quality operators
• 1:09:12
  on the ground and looking for prices, you know sub five cents
• 1:09:15
  I think come the next bear market that's what we're going
• 1:09:17
  to need to be to offer a quality value proposition to our
• 1:09:20
  clients. So if you've got that and clean
• 1:09:23
  power, which basically targets nuclear and and hydro, then be
• 1:09:27
  happy to talk with you about it. Bullish bullish man, I always, I
• 1:09:32
  always love having Kent on the show and you know that we it's,
• 1:09:36
  I don't know if you guys have announced we, I don't know if
• 1:09:38
  we've announced this yet but Kent's going to be joining us
• 1:09:41
  every month for a simply Bitcoin appearance.
• 1:09:44
  So if you guys have any questions relating to mining,
• 1:09:47
  anything at all in related to SAS mining, whatever is top of
• 1:09:52
  mind, please let me know. You guys could e-mail me, send
• 1:09:55
  me a message on Twitter. I'll be happily, I'll be happy
• 1:09:59
  to ask Kent those questions live or if they're really pressing.
• 1:10:04
  If you're currently in existing of SAS Mining, I'll get you in
• 1:10:07
  contact with the right person. Shoot me Adm on Twitter, I'll
• 1:10:11
  connect you with Ken. I'll connect you with with
• 1:10:13
  Nathan. Whatever it is, whatever it is,
• 1:10:15
  guys, so. Guys, wait, wait, wait, me, go.
• 1:10:18
  One last question for Kent. We got to ask him this question.
• 1:10:20
  Kent, what's the last piece of wisdom you want to leave with
• 1:10:23
  the audience? It could be about it could be
• 1:10:25
  about SAS, it could be about Bitcoin in general, it could
• 1:10:27
  about be Bitcoin mining in general.
• 1:10:29
  What's the last piece of wisdom you want to leave with the
• 1:10:31
  audience? I'm going to get personal.
• 1:10:34
  I'm, I'm a big fan of of working with people and and helping
• 1:10:38
  people grow. That's why I love being in
• 1:10:39
  leadership. But I'm going to say, man,
• 1:10:42
  sovereignty does not end in material wealth and you got to
• 1:10:46
  work on yourself and and I'd encourage everybody to do that
• 1:10:50
  and make your life happier, brighter and and better.
• 1:10:52
  And so you got to be sovereign on more than just a material
• 1:10:56
  level to truly be sovereign. Fully endorse this message, All
• 1:11:00
  right, take it, Nico. Yeah, so people are asking for
• 1:11:03
  the referral guys go to. Let me put it in the chat.
• 1:11:08
  Give me one second guys. OK, here you go.
• 1:11:15
  That's the referral. It's also in the video
• 1:11:17
  description. Go to sasmining.com/simply
• 1:11:19
  Bitcoin. I'll give you $50 off your first
• 1:11:23
  miner. Anyways, guys, that was our show
• 1:11:26
  live from the Canadian Bitcoin Conference in Montreal.
• 1:11:32
  The conference starts tomorrow at, I believe, 9:00 AM Eastern
• 1:11:36
  Standard Time, and a Saturday there's going to same thing.
• 1:11:40
  There's going to be crazy speakers lined up.
• 1:11:43
  You have BTC sessions, You have Larry Leopard, you have Luke
• 1:11:47
  Broyles. You know, you have Adam O'Brien
• 1:11:50
  from Bitcoin. Well, like so many awesome.
• 1:11:54
  You know, you have Francis Pulio from Bull Bitcoin.
• 1:11:56
  So many awesome Bitcoiners at Safedine, they're going to drop
• 1:11:59
  the hot fire. Day one, right?
• 1:12:02
  Yeah, I think it's, you know, so.
• 1:12:03
  And we're going to be streaming all of that for you guys,
• 1:12:05
  literally uninterrupted from the Simply Bitcoin YouTube channel,
• 1:12:10
  also from the Simply Bitcoin Twitter, so you can find all
• 1:12:13
  your favorite panels there as well.
• 1:12:15
  Because we will be streaming the entire conference tomorrow.
• 1:12:18
  We will not be doing a regular live show, however we will.
• 1:12:21
  Me and Opti are we can. Keep them updated.
• 1:12:23
  We updated them at lunchtime. We'll update you at lunchtime on
• 1:12:25
  news. We will literally be here the
• 1:12:27
  entire entire time, doing little news desks and stuff in between
• 1:12:33
  the breaks. So we'll be here.
• 1:12:35
  So just TuneIn tomorrow to the first day of the Canadian
• 1:12:38
  Bitcoin Conference. I was wondering, you go like
• 1:12:42
  what? What if like tomorrow is really
• 1:12:43
  good? Do we just stay in Canada?
• 1:12:45
  Because we just got in Trudeau's gulag and the US Senate voted to
• 1:12:49
  overturn the. SEC rule.
• 1:12:51
  Preventing highly regulated financial firms from holding
• 1:12:54
  Bitcoin. So I don't know if it's a sign
• 1:12:56
  or something where where we I think we need to be in Trudeau's
• 1:13:00
  gulag for a little bit. And this is exactly why we have
• 1:13:03
  rust in here. Our in house Anarco Bitcoin
• 1:13:06
  Libertarian. Anyways guys, I do want to thank
• 1:13:09
  our very special guest, the CEO of of SAS Mining.
• 1:13:13
  We have Kent in the house. Kent, thank you so much for
• 1:13:15
  joining us. Appreciate it brother.
• 1:13:16
  And I'm looking forward to having you on again next month.
• 1:13:21
  Yeah, and talk more mining and talk more SAS mining.
• 1:13:24
  Anyways, Kent, why don't you tell everybody where they can
• 1:13:26
  find you personally on the interwebs?
• 1:13:28
  Yeah, so I'm personally at on Twitter at K Halliburton, SO2LS
• 1:13:33
  and the Last Name DMS are open if you wanna reach out.
• 1:13:37
  Of course you get the website sasman.com that's been published
• 1:13:40
