Latest / Simply Bitcoin / Why Millennials Are Facing The SCARIEST Financial Future EVER | Beyond Bitcoin
Transcript
- 0:00What is it about Bitcoin that can unite so many different
- 0:03people across the world, throughout languages and
- 0:05different countries and have us all saying the same story about
- 0:09ruining some dinner or blowing up some conversation?
- 0:13Today I want to talk about what makes Bitcoiners possibly the
- 0:16most agreeable group on the planet.
- 0:18I'm oceans. This is beyond Bitcoin.
- 0:20Buckle up. We're about to embark on a
- 0:22hayride through what gives Bitcoin meaning to so many
- 0:25people and why that list is growing.
- 0:27You got to make sure it's a buckle up because if you don't,
- 0:39we wake up in the world every day, go to work, talk online,
- 0:43meet up with friends, and then one day we get exposed to
- 0:47something. It's subtle at first, but it
- 0:49forces us to ask ourselves what's going on with our money?
- 0:54Why is it getting so hard to make a living?
- 0:57Jack Mallers gives an excellent keynote speech on this in his
- 1:00most recent BTC Prague appearance.
- 1:03Take a look. When we're 18.
- 1:06Oh, you want to go learn how to be a teacher?
- 1:10You want to go learn how to be a businessman?
- 1:12You want to go learn how to be an artist?
- 1:15Take on $250,000 a debt to go to Harvard.
- 1:21You know this headline, why millennials are facing the
- 1:24scariest financial future of any generation since the Great
- 1:27Depression, since the Great Depression.
- 1:32And one of the main messages I want to convey in this talk is I
- 1:37think it has a large part to do with the money.
- 1:40I really do. And I don't want to just sound
- 1:43crazy. I want to explain it.
- 1:45So as a youthful person, they say the economy is booming.
- 1:49You're so lucky to have the stock market.
- 1:52Is it though? I mean, these seven companies
- 1:56are booming, but the rest of the stock market is shit.
- 2:02They're like, what about freedom and prosperity?
- 2:06Are you though? Because this is growth of the US
- 2:10sanctioning countries. So we're going to print these
- 2:13pieces of paper, force you to use it with violence and then
- 2:17weaponize your access to it. You're like, well, all the bad
- 2:24things. It's the blue's fault.
- 2:25It's the red's fault. It's the left's fault.
- 2:26It's the right fault. It's Trump's fault, It's Biden's
- 2:28fault. Is it, though?
- 2:31Looks like everyone's doing it. They're like, well, it's all
- 2:36contextual. And they say and they, they tell
- 2:49us this in school. And they say, well, you got to
- 2:51add context. You know, these numbers make a
- 2:53lot more sense when you realize the size of the economy.
- 2:58Really, though, because percentage of GDP, we have more
- 3:01debt than we did in World War 2. But I just went to school.
- 3:07We're not in war, but we always are somehow, but not in the
- 3:11World War. And they say but your jobs and
- 3:16your growth and your income is exploding.
- 3:19Is it though? It is on Wall Street.
- 3:23He raises questions that we all start asking ourselves.
- 3:26Is it though? Does it though?
- 3:27Is this thing that I'm holding in my pocket even real?
- 3:32We all start asking ourselves these questions until we are
- 3:34confronted with something that is so radical and so
- 3:38revolutionary that you could look at it for a lifetime and
- 3:41still not understand the ramifications of it.
- 3:44This technology is truth technology.
- 3:46It's a technology that exposes you to what is true and what is
- 3:50false. There comes a moment in all of
- 3:52our lives where we have to choose.
- 3:54Would I prefer to remain in this reality, or do I really want to
- 3:57be exposed to the truth? You take the red pill, you stay
- 4:01in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes
- 4:05and. What is that truth exactly?
- 4:07I'll tell you right after this. Are you thinking about building
- 4:11out your own sovereignty stack? You know, sovereignty isn't just
- 4:14about holding your own keys, it's also about keeping that
- 4:16signal when everyone else has lost theirs.
- 4:19When the grid goes down, which has been happening a lot, most
- 4:23people go dark. But with a satellite phone from
- 4:26SAT 123, you can stay connected no matter what.
- 4:29Whether you're a prepper or a wannabe prepper like me.
- 4:32Maybe you're a rancher or just, you know, someone who's paying
- 4:35attention. There's a lot of crazy stuff
- 4:36going on in the world, am I right?
- 4:38Now is the time to be prepared. Stop the last moments of this

- 5:01independent, and most importantly, stay sovereign.
- 5:04Welcome back. I hope you still think about
- 5:06that question. What is the lie that is being
- 5:08exposed? Because I'm about to tell you
- 5:10that lie is the Fiat money printing system that we all live
- 5:12in. I'm not trying to speak about it
- 5:14hyperbolically. I literally mean that they are
- 5:16printing lies on pieces of paper and we are all using it as
- 5:20currency. The promise on this piece of
- 5:22paper does not represent what it claims it does, and we
- 5:26Bitcoiners get this on a fundamental level no matter what
- 5:29end of the maxi madness curve you're on.
- 5:31By the way, who the fuck is Teddy Bitcoins?
- 5:33The reason that we all align is because we all agree that Fiat
- 5:37money printing is a sham. This is a common thread among
- 5:40all of us, no matter what side of the aisle you lean on.
- 5:43And once you see that, it becomes your imperative to
- 5:46expose it to the rest of the people out there, the NPCS, the
- 5:50no coiners, as it were. This truth, or rather the
- 5:53exposure of the SLY, is what brings all of us together.
- 5:57Shy of all the charts and the macro and what we all know
- 6:02Bitcoins promises. The one thing that I think gives
- 6:05Bitcoin the most value is that it exposes this line.
- 6:11It's honestly very simple. Think about it, if the whole
- 6:13world needs dollars, and that's the system we designed, we just
- 6:16went through the history, how do they get the dollars?
- 6:20Our job as a country is to just print them and hand them out.
- 6:24So we printed handout dollars to the rest of the world.
- 6:26And in turn we get oil, we get energy, we get food, we get
- 6:30iPhones, we get beds, we get everything that we consume.
- 6:34So we don't actually do any proof of work.
- 6:36We don't export anything real. We just print paper and we give
- 6:39it out to the rest of the world and in return we get real stuff.
- 6:45Who wins from that system? The world in the elite win and
- 6:49who loses from that system? You have to understand there's a
- 6:52cost to everything. There is no free lunch.
- 6:56If we could just print money, why is there such thing as world
- 6:59hunger? Why is there such thing as
- 7:00poverty? Why is there such thing as
- 7:02depression? Who's burdening the cost?
- 7:13So there's a quote from another famous economist in 1994.
- 7:17These are not new ideas. They knew what they were doing.
- 7:23Sir James Goldman said despite an expanding economy, quote UN
- 7:28quote, violence increases, the number of those living in
- 7:32poverty grows and urban slums spread in cities throughout the
- 7:36world, there's a growing realization that something
- 7:39fundamentally has gone wrong and a pervasive feeling that those
- 7:44in power do not know what should be done.
- 7:48This was 1994. All of the warnings to all of
- 7:53the people making these terrible decisions.
- 7:55I was doomed scrolling as we often do, and I ran across this
- 7:59tweet by Sly Goomba and it struck me enough to make me stop
- 8:04and think about it. Bitcoin changes you, Sure.
- 8:06The Bitcoin shows you who you truly are, and it does it by
- 8:10exposing to you where you've truly been.
- 8:13When you wake up inside that world, all you have are
- 8:16questions. How could this have happened?
- 8:18Have I really just reduced to an energy input to keep this system
- 8:22going? The feeling is haunting and it
- 8:24may take weeks, months, even years to adjust.
- 8:28But eventually you learn the real way the world actually
- 8:31looks and how it operates. You see parts of the money
- 8:34machine that you had not seen before.
- 8:37Bonds, money supply, issuance. It can be extremely disruptive
- 8:41to our lives. But you keep pulling on that
- 8:44thread. You learn how this thing works.
- 8:46You ask your questions, you see the fluctuations in prices, you
- 8:50see the volatility, and you see the attacks coming in slow
- 8:54motion. And make no mistake, this is an
- 8:56attack. A very, very slow attack.
- 9:00An attack that spans years, decades.
- 9:03The attack is so slow that if you didn't know better, you
- 9:06wouldn't even know you're being attacked.
- 9:07But you know better because you've been studying.
- 9:10Those who control the money control society.
- 9:15They decide who gets to prosper, who gets the big house, who gets
- 9:21to be happy and have family and who doesn't, who suffers, who's
- 9:26in pain. Permit me to issue and control
- 9:33the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.
- 9:37I don't care about the law system.
- 9:40I don't care about the rule you're about to change.
- 9:42How much money are you printing? It's all that matters, says
- 9:49Hayek. Law, language, money, the three
- 9:54paradigms of spontaneously common institutions.
- 10:01Now, fortunately, law and language have been allowed to
- 10:05develop. Money has originated in the
- 10:08original form, but as soon as it was then it's most primitive
- 10:11form was frozen. After 2 or 300 years of coins,
- 10:16all governments put their hands and stopped any further
- 10:19developments. Governments say they must not
- 10:21develop any fuel. You are not allowed to
- 10:24experiment on it. Money hasn't been improved.
- 10:26Money has has rather become worse in the course of time, and
- 10:31what we have had since in development are matters of
- 10:34government inventions, mostly owned, mostly abuses of money.
- 10:39I have directed Secretary Conley to suspend temporarily the
- 10:42convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve
- 10:45assets. And I have come to the position
- 10:48of us has monetary policy ever done any good?
- 10:52I don't think it has. I think it has done only harm.
- 10:56That's why I'm now pleading for what I've called
- 11:00denationalization of money. The further down the rabbit hole
- 11:04you go, the more of an advantage you gain over the people you see
- 11:07around you. Suddenly everyone seems like a
- 11:09mark, just as you used to be, but now you have skills that
- 11:13allow you to dodge the persistent inflation and gas
- 11:16lighting that comes with money printing.
- 11:19Unfortunately, this new found power does not come without
- 11:21limitations. The exposure to such an ugly
- 11:24world can have its drawbacks. Paranoia, insecurity, doubt.
- 11:29Some people are so paralyzed by the exposure to this unveiling
- 11:32of the machine that they would prefer to about face and 180
- 11:36back to the way things were. Ignorance is bliss.
- 11:39It can be a soul crushing revelation.
- 11:41I was once on this boat myself. I still AM, and it took me years
- 11:45upon years to shed the slogans of the old guard and open my
- 11:48mind up to questions. But not you.
- 11:51You've made it this far. You've figured out something
- 11:53that many, many, many people may never figure out in their entire
- 11:57lives, so it seems completely natural that you want to tell
- 12:01someone about it. Now you have a new mission, a
- 12:03mission of waking others up and joining those that have seen the
- 12:07light, just as you have. But.
- 12:09Unfortunately, no one can be told.
- 12:12What the matrix? Is you have to see it for
- 12:14yourself. If you're out there grinding
- 12:17away inside of the system, keep studying it.
- 12:19Keep learning more, keep asking questions, keep ruining family
- 12:23dinners and blowing up conversations.
