- 0:23Than Fiction World. Economic forum, is it time to
- 0:26put laser eyes on Klaus Schwab? Let us know down in the
- 0:29comments. But a world economic Forum that
- 0:32a total 180 and they came out with you know, one of their
- 0:35propaganda videos or mean videos and basically said, hey, you
- 0:38know, you could actually use I'm mining you could actually use
- 0:42you know, flared, gas, the third gas, and you could turn that
- 0:47into Bitcoin and it uses that energy.
- 0:49And normally that flared, gas would go out into the atmosphere
- 0:52is just a total 180. I remember like five years ago
- 0:56where they were saying the complete exact opposite.
- 0:58So that's a good news. Another news Michael sailor
- 1:01tweet and so we're going to talk about today.
- 1:03Argentina needs Bitcoin well yeah, Argentina needs Bitcoin,
- 1:07104 percent inflation but It's not that simple.
- 1:12We're going to get into the IMF. I'm going to talk about the IMF.
- 1:17I went, I went a little bit ham, this over the weekend, tweeting
- 1:20out about the IMF because it really, really upset me.
- 1:24You know, one of the things, one of the one of their statements.
- 1:29So the one of the mission statements and IMF website says
- 1:32prosperity for all I don't believe that's like sincere II
- 1:38don't believe at this point you can't make in good faith.
- 1:42You can't make an argument that the IMF is a net benefit, for
- 1:46Humanity, can't make that statement, right?
- 1:49Literally the opposite of what they recommended was the right
- 1:53move and we're going to highlight that today.
- 1:56And I'm also shout out to Alex gladstein, because he's really
- 1:59been at the Vanguard of this and he's in, he know, he's written
- 2:02amazing articles and he just recently, Only released a book
- 2:05on Amazon, highly recommend you guys get it.
- 2:08Basically highlighting the scam that is the IMF.
- 2:11And these people have the audacity To tell a sovereign
- 2:17country not to seek an alternative.
- 2:21Who are these people? Hmm.
- 2:24Anyways, before we start to show, I want to bring up a very
- 2:27special guest and a co-worker of mine.
- 2:29Rowdy from Swan media, how you doing, buddy?
- 2:31What up? How's it going?
- 2:33This guy is the genius. The writer behind the hard money
- 2:38episodes which are absolutely popping off, bro.
- 2:42So it's truly an honor to have you on the show today and of
- 2:44course, my legendary co-host, always optimistic.
- 2:48He did not. Send me a selfie this morning
- 2:50with a smile and I And I was first to text him, I said you're
- 2:55fired with the period. Well hey apparently there's a
- 3:01running theme of firing Talking Heads right now so the Tucker
- 3:08for tomorrow's Vlog but yeah, breaking news, it was fired, but
- 3:19he stepped down from Fox News for anyone who doesn't No, he
- 3:24has been the only Legacy Media talking head that has publicly
- 3:28supported Bitcoin. He's had nine book, La, Michael
- 3:32sailor Marty bent on his show. He's I think he's had nine
- 3:35buchelli or and Max Keiser recently.
- 3:38And it's just interesting that the people that publicly support
- 3:42Bitcoin are also the people that you know somehow they end up in
- 3:46the corporate media's. Crosshairs this is all
- 3:48coincidences, I guess. Anyways guys that make let's
- 3:52let's let's not delayed anymore. Let's jump into the numbers.
- 3:55Let's start the show. Let's do this.

- 6:07percent number. It's gonna go down forever
- 6:09forever. Laura anyways, the market
- 6:11capitalization of Bitcoin 529 billion dollars with the be
- 6:16today during the news. During the number segment, we're
- 6:19going to talk about the world, economic Forum, our friends, at
- 6:21the world economic Forum, you know, the same people that tell
- 6:23you, you owe nothing, be happy, eat bugs, shut up, you know, you
- 6:26dirty peasant, you know, don't pay.
- 6:28Just shut up, eat your bugs. You know, 15 minutes City, all
- 6:30of that stuff. And you guys remember this
- 6:33tweet, you know, it made quite quite a Ruckus when it went live
- 6:36in 2017 and it's funny because it's like one.
- 6:40Bitcoin was peaking at the time was like 20K was the top or
- 6:43something like 19 or 20 K. And they tweeted this out says
- 6:46in 2020, Bitcoin will consume more power than the world does
- 6:50today. Well it looks like they did like
- 6:52a whole 180 because they just released this video over the
- 6:54weekend. Let's check it out and we'll
- 6:55talk about it. One of the key problems were
- 7:06focused on on emission reduction is called flaring.
- 7:09Flaring happens either in the oil field or in landfills where
- 7:13you have this waste stream of gas, that's associated with oil
- 7:17production or you know happens from decomposition of landfill
- 7:30Crusoe does is we actually build operate and manage these mobile
- 7:34and modular data centers that we co-locate on location with these
- 7:38waste sources of energy and then we use those those waste methane
- 7:42streams to power. These mobile modular data
- 7:46centers and so by doing that, not only do we create a massive
- 7:48emission reduction from this previously wasted source of
- 7:53energy, but we can also produce Ultra low-cost computing.
- 7:57By harnessing this, this otherwise stranded form of
- 8:00energy. Okay, I can't deal with the
- 8:15fucking music. Holy shit who picked out music
- 8:18but I was like ding, ding, ding anyways.
- 8:20Um, holy cow, holy cow. What was that 180 Chris.
- 8:24Ooh, by the way, Chris, ooh, they also acquired Great
- 8:27American mining. So they're definitely a major
- 8:31player in the flared using flared, gas and turning that
- 8:36into Bitcoin, their major player in the US.
- 8:39And if my memory serves me correctly, Lee.
- 8:42They're also the company that ConocoPhillips used to mine
- 8:47Bitcoin as well, right? I just find it very interesting,
- 8:51right? This is a complete 180 from The
- 8:53Narrative that the world economic Forum was, you know,
- 8:58saying for the last couple of years now, right?
- 9:00Complete, you know, turn complete change of narrative,
- 9:04right? So I find that fascinating.
- 9:06I really do and then I tweeted this out this morning, right?
- 9:10You know, if you can't beat them, join them.
- 9:12Is this one of those things? I don't know.
- 9:14Is it time to put laser ours laser eyes on Klaus Schwab?
- 9:18I don't know. Let us know.
- 9:20I don't still don't trust them. There's something about it.
- 9:23I still, I like steak Klaus. I like steak.
- 9:26Anyways, Rodney what's your take on this and then we'll move on
- 9:29to Opti. Well, does your distrust of
- 9:31Klaus Schwab have anything to do with that black space suit?
- 9:34He wears from the future, or whatever.
- 9:37I mean, he looks like a demon. Yeah, I so I mean the, the gas
- 9:42Boring stuff. So I'm I come from Texas.
- 9:44And, you know, the fact that you could take these containers out,
- 9:48previously, stranded sources of energy is amazing and not only
- 9:53getting the gas to a pipeline. But even if you were to generate
- 9:56electricity, you know, you still need high voltage, power lines,
- 10:00to get those population centers. So it's really a great thing.
- 10:03You know, that they're able to do that aside from that.
- 10:06You know, in the first world in America were sort of concerned
- 10:09with balancing the grid and having a buyer.
- 10:12Last Resort for some of this energy but in other parts of the
- 10:15world, it is actually Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining is kind of
- 10:21augmenting and incentivizing growth of grid.
- 10:24So like in Africa you have microgrids in America, we have
- 10:27three main grids or copying one, the sort of, in Texas
- 10:30Independent one. But, you know, eat it.
- 10:32Incentivizes people to actually go into these remote Villages
- 10:36and provide infrastructure and provide the infrastructure for
- 10:39them to have electricity at a very low cost.
- 10:41So, you know, for more on that, you can see our hard money
- 10:45Africa package. But yeah.
- 10:47We think a lot about energy in the Nexus between that and
- 10:50money. So yeah. 100% in, in like
- 10:53Bitcoin, Bitcoin and energy are like, one in one.
- 10:56Right? It's money.
- 10:57Tied to energy via proof-of-work, it's anchored to
- 11:01reality. I think that's what makes
- 11:03Bitcoin unique and and all of a sudden did the Africa.
- 11:05Thing is very interesting Rowdy because, you know, all of a
- 11:09sudden, these isolated energy Pockets that Normally have no
- 11:13value, because they're way too far, from a city center,
- 11:15whatever. Bitcoin miners, could go there,
- 11:18right? And all of a sudden that gives
- 11:20that energy value, which brings prosperity to otherwise,
- 11:24isolated or poverty-stricken areas in Africa, right?
- 11:28Which is in my opinion again, Bitcoin is hope it's another
- 11:31example of Bitcoin is Hope and I think Jack Dorsey is very
- 11:34bullish on that, which is why I think he invested in a start-up
- 11:37in Africa, that was doing just that 100, 100 percent.
- 11:40And, and not only that but like for All the, you know,
- 11:43environmental Fudd, stirs largely, all of that is
- 11:47Renewables, you know? And and hydro specifically, you
- 11:50know, you have a lot of like small-scale rivers and streams
- 11:53that you could run a small operation on and and people are
- 11:56starting to now. But you know, the big energy
- 11:58companies aren't going to go in there and look at a small stream
- 12:01and see the benefit to them. And so they're not going to
- 12:03build a project but you know, if you have these companies now
- 12:06that are that are mining Bitcoin and they can go in and they can
- 12:08build a Hydro Dam, all of a sudden you're providing jobs for
- 12:11the local economy. Me you're providing electricity
- 12:13that for the people who live there and it's all on renewable.
- 12:16So win, win, win win, win win exactly.
- 12:20Bitcoin stays winning Opti, what's your take on this
- 12:22brother? Well first and foremost, I'm
- 12:25going to Echo, basically, what everyone was saying in the chat?
- 12:27You know, first and foremost. My tinfoil hat.
- 12:29Radar is triggering now. It's like I don't know how I
- 12:33feel now that the world economic forum is indirectly endorsing
- 12:37Bitcoin mining. Now, I was hoping that they
- 12:39would push this out and fight us more.
- 12:42You know, it seems one of those like I forget the metaphor, but
- 12:46like, once you're touched by their fingers, it's like, oh now
- 12:50we're all dirty because of their association with us, but I don't
- 12:54know if we played the whole video, but I really liked in
- 12:58that video. If you guys should definitely go
- 12:59watch the whole thing. They never once said Bitcoin
- 13:02mining, they just said, like, data centers, you know, we're
- 13:04just we're you know we're just cleaning up the environment with
- 13:07data centers and I think that's again.
- 13:09One of the things that Nico always points out the omission
- 13:11of Saying the b word I think is one of the biggest towels here.
- 13:14They obviously don't want to endorse Bitcoin mining, but we
- 13:18have the facts on our side. It is factually proven that
- 13:22Bitcoin mining will improve planet Earth that it does help
- 13:25the energy grids. And as much mental gymnastics as
- 13:29they want to do like the facts are the facts and and we know
- 13:33that this is true, we know that Bitcoin miners are actually
- 13:36helping the, you know, the planet more than any
- 13:39environmentalist out there, more than any environmental.
- 13:42Lestrade can try to, I don't know what I was going to say
- 13:46greenwash, but that's probably not the right word here.
- 13:49But yeah, I mean, hey, it is a huge 180 and now they are
- 13:54endorsing Bitcoin but I really like Nephi.
- 13:57Did you see the remakes that Walker from crypto couple made?
- 14:00He did a remix of that video and I'll lie really did was like put
- 14:03the Bitcoin logo on the bottom. And then every time they said,
- 14:06like data centers is just like Bitcoin, like Bitcoin fixes this
- 14:10Bitcoin fixes this. And it's just like, It's the
- 14:12perfect little addition to it because again the omission of
- 14:15them actually sang Bitcoin, I think is one of the biggest
- 14:17towels are they? I know they're trying to make it
- 14:19palatable for for the, for the Normie out there and calling it
- 14:23data centers. Which I mean I think that I
- 14:25don't so I don't think I don't want to fall into the framing
- 14:28but like I don't think it's palpable.
- 14:30I just think like just as you know whether it's the future of
- 14:34money report that was released by the US Treasury.
- 14:36Basically omitting that Bitcoin could be seen as the future of
- 14:40money in the eyes of the US government.
- 14:41That's Not the case. And then what they do though is
- 14:44that they omit inflation and all of those reports.
- 14:47And I think that they omit inflation because I don't think
- 14:49that they have a good argument against it, right?
- 14:52We always say on the show, like if we get the masses asking, a
- 14:55very simple question. You know, why are we using, why
- 14:59are we being forced to use a money that steals from us?
- 15:02I think that puts them in a very, very hard spot.
- 15:05Like I just don't, I don't know how, I don't know how they could
- 15:09defend that but anyways, everybody, let's get to the
- 15:11news. Talk about Argentina.
- 15:13A lot of things are going down over there.

- 16:47So, check out the orange pill app today, it is freaking
- 16:50awesome. Awesome.
- 16:51Alright let's talk about Argentina.
- 16:53So Bloomberg article headline, Argentina inflation accelerates
- 16:57more than more than expected to 104 percent.
- 17:04So. Okay, you know, they look when
- 17:09we talk about the US government printing and basically having
- 17:12this privilege of being able to print because it has the world
- 17:15Reserve currency status. Right?
- 17:17Without the world Reserve currency status.
- 17:19The US government would not be able Print the way it does and
- 17:22it can't survive without printing.
- 17:24Currently, there's a trillion, there's a trillion dollar
- 17:26deficit, spend every single year, meaning the US government
- 17:29spends a trillion dollar more than it collects in taxes, in
- 17:33the way that they get away with that is because they have access
- 17:35to a money printer. Other countries.
- 17:38Wish they had the same thing. Unfortunately, no, no country
- 17:42really holds Argentine pesos why would they write?
- 17:48So what happens when the government prints a ridiculous
- 17:50amount Amount of money. You have crazy, crazy inflation.
- 17:53And that is the case for most of the global South.
- 17:56I might add, they don't have the privilege that Us in the
- 17:58developed world have, right? We're governments can get a
- 18:03little crazy with the money printer and there was and the
- 18:05consequences of that are not too crazy.
- 18:09I love the way that Jeff poo. Jeff Booth puts it right where
- 18:11the inflation rate isn't too high where people don't really
- 18:14notice that they're being stolen from her, the vat, the mass
- 18:17majority of people. So let's get into some of the
- 18:20details. So inflation.
- 18:21Jumps in Argentina, more than expected as a seasonal, as
- 18:23seasonal factors collided with the impact of historic, drought
- 18:26and government overspending, to feel the highest monthly price
- 18:29hikes in two decades, inflation accelerated to 7.7% in March,
- 18:34more than the median expectation, of seven percent
- 18:37among economists, surveyed by Bloomberg, from a year ago,
- 18:40Prices rose 104 percent, the highest annual level since 1991
- 18:45according to government data published Friday.
- 18:48Here's a quote. Now, what's really interesting
- 18:49about this is hold on a second, quote policy changes to fix the
- 18:54inflation problem. We'll have to be more drastic
- 18:57than the longer it holds about. 100 percent.
- 19:00There is little, the government could do ahead of the October
- 19:03election, a rate hike at the next Central Bank meeting would
- 19:06keep real rates positive as agreed with the IMF.
- 19:11But wouldn't have a practical near-term impact on inflation.
- 19:18Why are they bringing up on the IMF?
- 19:20It's like isn't Argentina, sovereign country, like what is
- 19:24going on here? And then let's talk about the
- 19:28bailout, right? Because this was kind of like,
- 19:31you know, one of those things or the, you know, the IMF would
- 19:35would bails out these countries supposedly and parts of these
- 19:38bailouts, you know, is so these, these countries restructure
- 19:42their finances so that these types of things don't happen,
- 19:45but in that clause, Check this out Argentina's IMF bailout deal
- 19:52includes a wild Clause that rips cryptocurrencies and check out
- 19:56the date of this article March 18. 20 22 goes on to say
- 20:01Argentinian Senators just approved a 45 billion dollar
- 20:03bailout deal with the with the IMF on Thursday that will help
- 20:07the country. Avoid an imminent default on its
- 20:09debts, but that's not the unusual part of the agreement,
- 20:12the deal, which was approved in 1856. 213 vote, includes a wild
- 20:16provision that will force the government.
- 20:18Point of prisoner Alberto, Fernandez to take a tough anti
- 20:21cryptocurrency stance. And it goes on to say, quote to
- 20:26discourage the use of cryptocurrencies, with a view to
- 20:30preventing money laundering, informality, and
- 20:33disintermediation, and order to quote, to further Safeguard
- 20:36Financial stability. Well, how the fuck did that work
- 20:39out IMF that didn't work out very well.
- 20:42Well, let's check out this other article dropped around, you
- 20:45know, not very, not the exact time, but shakal.
- 20:47Take a look at The date, 26 January, 2020, to IMF urges El
- 20:52Salvador to remove Bitcoin as legal tender.
- 20:55It goes on to say in September. I'll Salvador became the first
- 21:00country to allow consumers to use a cryptocurrency and all
- 21:02transactions alongside the US dollar, the decision led to
- 21:05large-scale protest over fears, it would bring instability and
- 21:08inflation to the impoverished. Latin American country.
- 21:13Did the exact fucking opposite. And that bailout from Argentina
- 21:20by the IMF would that do anyways.
- 21:23And then we're going to like look at the results, right?
- 21:27So it goes on to say, when I was Salvador, introduced a virtual
- 21:29currency, as legal, tender the government, released a new
- 21:31digital wallet app, giving away $30 is a chivo wallet.
- 21:35It presented the measures a way to boost Economic Development
- 21:38and jobs, but El Salvador has been divided by the move.
- 21:40That's not true. 9 will Kelly has a 90% approval rating
- 21:43anyways. So take a look at the, the dates
- 21:47of the articles there. They're very important and the
- 21:49narrative in the structure and the framing by the Legacy
- 21:52corporate media, right? So January 22, the basically
- 21:55saying oh this is a move. The I messes like this is a
- 21:57danger to financial stability what El Salvador is doing its
- 22:00absolutely Reckless at the same time here.
- 22:02Here's a bailout, you know, don't worry about it.
- 22:04This is gonna be fine. But you have to include a clause
- 22:08that has 2D incentivize the adoption of Bitcoin within the
- 22:11country. Now, what were the results of
- 22:14that? Well, the Argentinian decision
- 22:17was an absolute clusterfuck for the people of Argentina, dealing
- 22:20with 104 percent inflation. The government is hostile
- 22:24towards it because that was part of the bailout agreement and now
- 22:27let's take a look at the results.
- 22:28Coming out of El Salvador record GDP growth and not to mention
- 22:32record. Low crime rate right here is the
- 22:36estimated, hasta homicides per 100,000 inhabitants and here it
- 22:40goes, back all the way to 2010. It reached a high of 103 and
- 22:44Recently reported last year, it was 7.8.
- 22:48So, it looks like the country that did not listen to the IMF
- 22:52and now adopted an alternative to the IMF system.
- 22:59Has Prosperity has peace. And the country that listen to
- 23:05the IM f--, took the bailout deal.
- 23:08Is dealing with record inflation.
- 23:12Who the fuck are these people? Here's a tweet by Michael
- 23:15sailor. If you live in Argentina right
- 23:17now, you need Bitcoin. Here's a tweet by bow-tied, Mara
- 23:21urgent. The Argentine Central Bank has
- 23:23suspended operations for today and Monday foreign payments have
- 23:27been suspended. There are no more dollar.
- 23:29It seems more about the measure here.
- 23:32Looks like the central bank was effectively already dipping into
- 23:35customer US dollar deposits at local banks.
- 23:38This was last month and it only got worse than Then that's
- 23:41right. You want to escape the
- 23:44inflation? Yeah.
- 23:45Well we'll dip into your to your currencies to and you want to
- 23:48know, you will dip into your savings.
- 23:50Why? And you want to know why the IMF
- 23:54included that? That clause in the bailout
- 23:58package will Christine Lagarde. Opt, he's ex-girlfriend said it
- 24:01best. If there's an escape valve,
- 24:03people will use it. And that's what this is.
- 24:07I don't think the IMF really wants prosperity for all if you
- 24:10were to believe they're Logan, I think the IMF just wants people
- 24:14to use their system. That's what they're really
- 24:16concerned about the IMF concerns is concerned about the IMF.
- 24:20No one else is not really concerned about this.
- 24:23This, you know, this framing about, oh, we want, what's best
- 24:26for developing countries? Well, look a developing country
- 24:28seeked an alternative that was outside your grasp of control.
- 24:33You freaked out. Look what what the results of
- 24:36that decision were prosperity and peace for El Salvador and
- 24:41the people that listen to you and took your claws destruction
- 24:46and poverty. Like, it's absolutely
- 24:49ridiculous. Here is a tweet by turned to mr.
- 24:52Apparently, Argentina Central Bank ran out of dollars and
- 24:55started stealing local banks. Customer USD deposits to fill
- 24:59the hole. Now, that's no longer working.
- 25:01So they're announcing a bank holiday.
- 25:04Classic bail in, right? I'm going to end it there or my
- 25:08head's going to explode, but this is fucking nuts, right?
- 25:12Central banks don't have your best interest at heart.
- 25:15The IMF doesn't have your best interest at heart and your tell
- 25:18is their hostility towards Bitcoin.
- 25:22The tell is their hostility towards individuals seeking an
- 25:26alternative and their reaction to it.
- 25:29They don't care about look at what the results were of El
- 25:31Salvador. You don't hear them talking
- 25:32about it. And anymore a lot, right?
- 25:37The Argentinean government took the bailout money accepted, the
- 25:40Clause fast forward a year, later hundred 4% inflation.
- 25:45How did that work out for the Argentinian?
- 25:48People are Central bank's really for their people or a central
- 25:52bank's really for central banks and the government is State
- 25:57money really? For the people of that state or
- 26:01is it really for the government? That runs that state and these
- 26:07are very important questions to ask but because I really believe
- 26:11and I don't know if you see it. Rowdy to me, it's clear as day,
- 26:15you have two opposing things don't let El Salvador Financial
- 26:20instability. They've made Bitcoin as legal
- 26:22tender. This is going to cause inflation
- 26:24the exact fucking opposite thing happened.
- 26:26Take out bailout deal but you must be incentivize the adoption
- 26:29of Bitcoin because that's going to lead to financial
- 26:32instability. The Exact fucking opposite
- 26:34happen. Who is behind the IMF?
- 26:37That is some evil fucking shit. That's my take on that.
- 26:40Some evil people behind there bro. 100% if you if you look at
- 26:45night but Kelly makes a great case.
- 26:47Not only is he an epic Twitter troll against the IMF and but I
- 26:52believe he's made the case in front of the UN General form.
- 26:55Not only sort of pointing out how outdated and outmoded the
- 26:59fact of the, you know, all those representatives from all over
- 27:02the world at the fly. New York, we have zoom and
- 27:04everything, but it just, he just, he's embracing the
- 27:08technology and the way things are going and you have in a
- 27:12places like Argentina who are making deals with the incumbent
- 27:15power structures, like the IMF, and what you get is 104 percent
- 27:20inflation. But what's most egregious is not
- 27:22only, are they, is their currency completely jacked up
- 27:25because it's a Cadre of people making decisions in a
- 27:27centralized way and they're Miss managing it, but it got so bad.
- 27:31Not only were they, do they have capital, Controls where you're
- 27:34not allowed to buy US dollars in Argentina / to preserve your
- 27:38purchasing power. So you had to do that on the
- 27:39black market illegally but now they're bailing in and they're
- 27:42just taking customer deposits straight from the bank.
- 27:45I mean it's I'm getting angry on their behalf.
- 27:48Just I'm getting heated just thinking about it.
- 27:50Yeah it's egregious and I and at some point, people are going to
- 27:54wake up and they're going to start asking these questions and
- 27:57figuring out that there is an escape valve.
- 28:00And that the people who tell you to eat bugs are not your friend.
- 28:04Yeah, and they don't have your best interest at heart 100% And
- 28:08I just want to let you know, maybe I want to rub it in their
- 28:10face but I think it's well deserved nine bouquet was right?
- 28:14He wrote this, don't drink the elites Kool-Aid, September 30th
- 28:182022 and he was 100%, right? And here is the part of the
- 28:24article that really stuck with me.
- 28:26And it says, with that, of course, they also own the
- 28:29Army's, the loans, the money supply, the credit ratings, The
- 28:32Narrative, the Of the factories, the food supply that control
- 28:35international trade and international law, but their
- 28:38most powerful weapon is the control of the truth and they're
- 28:40willing to fight. Lice mere destroy sensor,
- 28:43confiscate print, and do whatever it takes to maintain
- 28:46and increase their control over the truth and everything.
- 28:49And everyone so fast forward a year later.
- 28:53After the IMF called out said that name, El Salvador's
- 28:57decision was a threat to the financial stability of El
- 29:00Salvador. The exact same thing happened in
- 29:02El Salvador and and when the IMF bailed out Argentina to
- 29:06supposedly, you know, secure the country financially, what
- 29:10happened? The exact fucking opposite,
- 29:14right? And then take this paragraph
- 29:16that I just read from, don't drink tea, Luke Kool-Aid and it
- 29:19was published in in Bitcoin magazine.
- 29:24Embrace that take that in, connect the dots and it became
- 29:29paints a very, very, very clear picture.
- 29:31It's our job to highlight the hypocrisy, in the
- 29:35misrepresentations in the lives of these people.
- 29:38And nine bouquet Lee, nailed it in this paragraph.
- 29:41Anyways, Rowdy, totally agree and it's worth noting.
- 29:43I mean obviously you know, quotes around the word truth
- 29:47because the it's their version of the truth, right?
- 29:51It's effectively, you know, 1984 the ministry of Truth.
- 29:55We're here to tell you what the truth is.
- 29:58Exactly. Exactly.
- 29:59It's like and and I'll say this, right?
- 30:01The, you know, we've pointed out the fact of this idea, this I
- 30:06call it this this This psychological concept called
- 30:10projection. I think when they say that
- 30:13Bitcoin is a threat to financial stability.
- 30:15I think they're projecting onto US what it is.
- 30:17They know they do themselves. And I've noticed that more and
- 30:21more and more, and more and more, and they love those
- 30:24buzzwords money. Laundering terrorism, Financial
- 30:26stability and they use it. Like, it's like a battle drum.
- 30:28It's like baba, baba, baba, baba, baba, baba, baba, baba,
- 30:31anyways, Opti, what's your take on this brother?
- 30:34Well, I'm glad that you brought up Abu Kelly's article because I
- 30:37was going to bring it up. Well and it really reminds you
- 30:40also of the book confessions of an economic Hitman like this,
- 30:44this isn't a new thing. It just it's just coming from a
- 30:47president versus, you know, a confession from an economic
- 30:50Hitman and we know that this is the case, like this isn't
- 30:53conspiracy theories. This isn't us looking into stuff
- 30:56like we know the blueprint it's exactly what the IMF is doing.
- 31:00This is institutionalized theft on a nation state level and now
- 31:05we have the receipts, you know, Bitcoin exposes all.
- 31:08All incentives and we have the IMF, literally kicking Argentina
- 31:13into a hyperinflationary state and then saying, oh, we're here
- 31:16to protect you. Well, like look, I'm a very
- 31:19simple-minded person if a plus b equals c then we know exactly
- 31:24what is going on here and it's, it's really insane to me.
- 31:29That people think that the IMF and the world bank's are out
- 31:32there doing good. And that, like, oh, we're here
- 31:34to protect you guys and it's like, now it's very obvious.
- 31:37We have a lot of A lot, a lot of points pointing to the complete
- 31:41opposite that the IMF is not out here, helping if Argentina at
- 31:46least was on a Bitcoin standard, then, I think things would be
- 31:50different. Government wouldn't be able to
- 31:52print. That's the thing, the government
- 31:53wouldn't be able to print. Exactly, that's the thing.
- 31:55You take that away from them and then the only way for the
- 31:58government to raise funds is via direct taxation meaning.
- 32:01They can't get too crazy on that either because then the people
- 32:03will revolt and vote out. Those said, Paul's actually,
- 32:06they're completely changes the dynamic.
- 32:08Hammock here, right? But yeah I think you know if
- 32:12you're if you're in Argentina and maybe this is a stretch too
- 32:15far but I'm going to say it. Anyways, if you want to protest
- 32:18what's actually going on the most effective way of protesting
- 32:22is to opt out of the system entirely.
- 32:25We say this on simply all the time, it's not Red vs.
- 32:28Blue. Of course, that's a u.s.
- 32:30Centric view, you know, Democrat versus Republican.
- 32:32It's green versus orange, right? It's the orange party.
- 32:35It's the party of Bitcoin. And then it's the party of State
- 32:37money. Fiat right?
- 32:38And which they want to turn into Central Bank, digital
- 32:41currencies. That's the future ahead of us,
- 32:44but this is, this is crazy. So you know what?
- 32:47Well, Michael Seiler said I'm going to Echo it Argentina.
- 32:51The people of Argentina. You guys need Bitcoin.
- 32:53Bitcoin fixes. Yeah, way to go.
- 32:55Before we go on one of our own members, wanna kiss.
- 32:58Simply Bitcoin. Fam is currently in Argentina
- 33:01and the second king. Yeah, the stories he's telling
- 33:04me. I was on the phone with him like
- 33:05an hour. I think it was last week and he
- 33:08was kind of giving me an update on everything going on and he's
- 33:12just like Blown Away by the amount of inflation.
- 33:15Since he's been down there. It just like he's been taking
- 33:17pictures of just like wads of money that he has to use to to
- 33:21pay for everyday things, even though things are extremely
- 33:23cheap. And I basically asked him, I'm
- 33:25like, yeah, like what's the, what's the one hurdle that you
- 33:28think is stopping people from adopting Bitcoin, and it's like,
- 33:31it's just an education thing. Like, they don't have much
- 33:34money, they're living paycheck to paycheck, and they don't have
- 33:37the Financial literacy that that all you guys have out there like
- 33:41it really is amazing that content like ours.
- 33:44Everyone else spreading content. Like this is really the mm.
- 33:47Most important thing we can be doing is trying to educate
- 33:50people show them that the system is broken.
- 33:53And that we do have a solution to this very specific problem
- 33:56like Bitcoin, literally fixes this and no amount of propaganda
- 34:01from these institutions can hide the truth for very, very much
- 34:04longer. Like the mental gymnastics that
- 34:06they have to partake. To show that Bitcoin isn't a
- 34:09superior way to save, you know, that it's going into overdrive
- 34:13and we we just got to continue to beat that drum and educate.
- 34:17And what do we always say? Win the hearts and minds of the
- 34:19masses and like, this is the importance of what we do, daily.
- 34:22What you guys do? Spreading memes, you know what
- 34:24Rowdy does over at hard money? Like, this is the most important
- 34:29thing we can be doing is spreading this signal far and
- 34:31wide. So people know, there is an
- 34:33option. Yep, exactly.
- 34:34It's not, it's not a left versus right thing.
- 34:37It's Out. The money is broken, you fix the
- 34:39money, you fix the world. Anyways.
- 34:41All you can only really benefit from all this, this this

- 36:49hard money show in Natalie, Brunell and one of your videos,
- 36:52it's starting to go viral, dude. And this is something that Nico
- 36:56and I Not only are honored and humbled that.
- 36:59This is our job. But we understand, especially

- 37:06importance of creating this type of media.
- 37:08So I mean do you feel just as blessed as we do to put your hat
- 37:13in the rink and and create this kind of content?
- 37:16Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I spent the bulk of my
- 37:19career working in entertainment and promoting Entertainment
- 37:23Properties, which is great. But, you know, if you if you
- 37:26sort of Have that on the one hand and then you have a product

- 37:47professionally. Now, got a great team, Natalie,
- 37:50obviously is an amazing Storyteller as well, and yeah,
- 37:54just working on all this stuff. Not only do I find it, Applying
- 37:57just from an educational standpoint myself.
- 37:59As I continue my journey down the rabbit hole, but, you know,
- 38:03kind of being able to present my findings to everybody out there
- 38:06and get it out on the Internet is and hopefully do it in a fun
- 38:10and entertainment entertaining way at the same time as the
- 38:13goal. But yeah, I'm glad to see this
- 38:15pop off and, you know, we rely heavily on so many smart people
- 38:19out there from Sailor, who's featured in this video to, you
- 38:25know, Sam Callaghan who Is on our Squad and Hurley who edits
- 38:30these pieces, and he's amazing. But yeah, it's just an honor to
- 38:34kind of like go through and do the research on these pieces and
- 38:37then to get it out there and try to take, you know, explain my
- 38:40take on how it is. It's great.
- 38:43So whoever man, is it coming from your background?
- 38:47Nico? And I always talked about this
- 38:48on the show, basically, like highlighting the importance of
- 38:50the independent content creators.
- 38:52Do you think that the corporate corporate media is dying?
- 38:55Is it, is it a dinosaur out there?
- 38:57Class legs are how much longer do you think they can continue
- 39:00to spread this kind of propaganda?
- 39:02Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's kind of like these
- 39:05generational changes happen as people age out of, you know, the
- 39:09population. It not not to get dark about it
- 39:12but, you know. Yeah, I think I think mainstream
- 39:17media and, you know, when I was a kid, it was like the big
- 39:20three. There were three major networks,
- 39:21right? And everybody just tuned in to
- 39:23the news. And that was the water cooler
- 39:24conversation. But now with the internet and
- 39:26with YouTube and stuff, the democratization of being able to
- 39:30tell stories and find good content, you know and and really
- 39:34honing in on an itch. Like we do.
- 39:36With Bitcoin is just a fascinating opportunity and it's
- 39:40only getting more and more popular.
- 39:42And, you know, I don't know, anybody, you know who gets their
- 39:45news off the mainstream media in most mostly in my circles.
- 39:50They're seeking it out themselves because they want to
- 39:52find the truth. You know they want to find
- 39:53empirical evidence. It reminds me of the pier
- 39:56Richard. You know, he did, he took his
- 39:59carbon monoxide or CO2 tester out there and it's like
- 40:02empirically he's showing that you know, Bitcoin mining is zero
- 40:06emissions and it's like people were saying, well, that's not
- 40:09the truth and they're they're arguing that.
- 40:10But literally, the truth is, is self-evident in some cases.
- 40:14And so that's a lot of what we try to present on hard bunnies.
- 40:17The truth, I'm glad you you had that cuz I was going to ask the
- 40:21question. What do you think is the main
- 40:22difference between Bitcoin media and mainstream media?
- 40:25But I think you just answered that question.
- 40:27Faster, follow-up. I have a follow-up.
- 40:28Like, why? So it and Route.
- 40:31A you grew up with this and you were you know you were you were
- 40:33in the belly of the Beast so to speak.
- 40:36It wasn't the the media wasn't always like this like Walter
- 40:39guy. Like I literally have Walter
- 40:41Cronkite his reporting on the Vietnam War, which like you can
- 40:44make the argument that led to basically it being the Vietnam
- 40:49War being a nun, defensible political position for the u.s.
- 40:53government, right? So you know he was part of a
- 40:55huge me. Organization.
- 40:57I remember, you know, CNN in then in the 90s or, you know, in
- 41:01the 2000s, right? Like this it seems like this is
- 41:05a recent event where, or maybe it's the internet that really
- 41:09highlighted that perhaps, we were being propagandize the
- 41:12entire time, but I would like to believe that the corporate media
- 41:16wasn't always like that. I feel like there was there was
- 41:19journalistic standards before there was Integrity.
- 41:22Why do you think that changed? I mean, I think it's about
- 41:25incentives, right? Right.
- 41:27It's like, you know, they at one point, the news programs on the
- 41:33mainstream, you know, the big three channels, weren't the
- 41:35revenue drivers, you know, it was the soap operas, and
- 41:38literally, they, they're called that because they were really
- 41:41just dramas to sell soap, but you had these journalistic
- 41:45standards. Like, you're talking about with
- 41:46Walter Cronkite and back in the day, you know, people who are
- 41:48actually after the truth. And now I think there's just the
- 41:52networks have been captured by, you know, red or blue, at least
- 41:56in the states. That's a quick way to look at it
- 41:58and you know people who have other agendas and you know if
- 42:04you're in one, if you're on leaning to the left, you go to
- 42:07one channel. If you lean to the right, you go
- 42:08to another. But but I think you're
- 42:09absolutely right. It's harder and harder to find
- 42:13signal. That is not just completely the
- 42:16Spin Zone essentially. Yeah. 100% Opti, just I want to
- 42:21ask from your Vantage Point. Rowdy, wait, what do you think
- 42:23like Bitcoin Media or media in general goes from here?
- 42:27I mean, I'm happy to be sort of, I think on what is the Vanguard
- 42:31of kind of Independent Media sources and and, you know, we
- 42:34just sort of bootstrap this thing.
- 42:36I mean, not, you know, we're sponsored and we have helped.
- 42:40But I mean, you know, we are not, I come from companies like
- 42:45Viacom and Turner and, you know, giant media conglomerates.
- 42:50And so, to be in a place like this where, you know, truth is
- 42:56valued above all. Paul, I feel like in a way It's
- 43:00kind of like a re-emergence of what the news used to be when it
- 43:04was on the big three. Aunt works, you know, really
- 43:08just going after the integrity and trying trying to tell the
- 43:10story as we see it without political bias without you.
- 43:15No, preconceived notions going in without an agenda.
- 43:18Essentially, I love it. We I mean Nico and I always talk
- 43:23about here and this is a meme, I stole from Nico.
- 43:26Where that what we're really doing here is we're after the
- 43:28hearts and minds of the masses out there and I don't think we
- 43:33have a better tool than Bitcoin on our side.
- 43:35Like we we have the truth, we have the facts now it's becoming
- 43:40more and more clear to me that like the importance of us making
- 43:43content about you making content but all of her friends making
- 43:45content. It's like we really are out here
- 43:47for the hearts and mind to the masses because we have the But
- 43:50people want a good story and this is why we show up every
- 43:54day. This is why you do what you do
- 43:55is to get that story out there in different ways.
- 43:58So that people wake up to the truth of the matter.
- 44:00It's like Bitcoin fixes the situation guys.
- 44:02Very simple process and there's something very calming just sort
- 44:07of on a personal note about having the conviction and
- 44:11feeling like the facts are on my side and it's not just me.
- 44:15I see it in, you know, lots of public facing bitcoiners who Are
- 44:21maybe in public debates with other people, you see people
- 44:23defending the Fiat system and they kind of they get worked up
- 44:26and they get a little excited and it's like they're trying to
- 44:31fit a round peg into a square hole, you know, and I think of
- 44:34people like Elizabeth Warren or Christine Lagarde, who don't
- 44:38have great answers to things. All she can come up with
- 44:40something like in due course, it will happen in due course, and,
- 44:43and, and their little bit on the defensive and it's like, you
- 44:46know, there's just a certain calmness when you sort of, you
- 44:50can See through all that and you're not trying to sell
- 44:53anybody on anything. This is not, you know this is
- 44:56not a any kind of grift but I feel like the power structures
- 45:01that are in place whether it's because of overtime, all power
- 45:04structures get corrupted or what?
- 45:06I mean that's a whole philosophical.
- 45:08You know discussion you could think about I think people are
- 45:10just trying to sell you on this idea of Truth and I'm putting
- 45:14that in air quotes like the Kelly did in his article when
- 45:17they simply don't have the facts on their side, you know?
- 45:20And so So in a way our job is that much easier because we're
- 45:24not trying to convince somebody of something that isn't obvious
- 45:28on the face of it. So, it's just really gratifying
- 45:31and I find it personally, calming and centering sort of
- 45:36having now, identified the problem and I'm standing on the
- 45:38shoulder of tons of people who, you know, have come before me
- 45:41and have told lots of stories and written lots of books and
- 45:44articles and podcasts. And you know, I've been
- 45:46consuming this media for about five years now and I just can't
- 45:48get enough of it. And so Really.
- 45:50I'm just I'm just trying to amplify voices out there that
- 45:53came ahead of me and figured this whole thing out.
- 45:56So and kudos to you guys for providing that platform, I
- 46:00appreciate you having me on here for that our pleasure, bro.
- 46:03It's our pleasure in any kind of you kind of hit on something
- 46:06that me and my friend wind it gets talked about all the time.
- 46:10It's idea of Bitcoins n and like it's hard to really explain like
- 46:16the psychological, you know, Zen the just The calmness that you
- 46:21get when you are on a Bitcoin standard like that's why Bitcoin
- 46:24is Hope and and I'm just, I'm, I'm very happy that that I'm
- 46:28seeing it not only in my friends but like Rowdy, you said the
- 46:31same thing and I think we continuously see the same
- 46:34phenomenon play out. It's like, yo once you get on a
- 46:36Bitcoin standard, your whole philosophy, your whole worldview
- 46:40changes and you can finally take a breath look out at the world
- 46:43clearly and be like, oh okay, we can fix this.
- 46:46There is a solution to this problem.
- 46:48It is getting on the Bitcoin. Heard it is realizing what I
- 46:52value and then continue to propagate that truth to more and
- 46:55more people. And this is how we win 100%.
- 46:57And it's only a matter of time, you know, like once upon a time
- 47:01earlier on in my Bitcoin days, I was checking the price every
- 47:03five seconds like a psychopath, you know?
- 47:05And now I mean whole days go by and I've orange, build my wife
- 47:09and she's telling me the price and I'm like, oh cool, you know,
- 47:12she's like it's pumping or it's dipping, I'm like great, you
- 47:15know, like Whatever, whatever it does.
- 47:18One Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin. You know, it's true.
- 47:22I say it all the time jokingly. I wouldn't be looking at the
- 47:25price like, at all, if it wasn't for telling you guys, like
- 47:30updated on, what's going on on Twitter, spaces, around the
- 47:32show, like, the price is irrelevant until the world is on
- 47:35a Bitcoin standard. It is unimaginably cheap as far
- 47:39as I'm concerned. How did you guys go ahead?
- 47:42I was telling a friend this weekend, you know.
- 47:43He was like, well aren't you worried about the volatility?
- 47:45And I'm like, Like it's a monetizing asset.
- 47:48It has to be by definition, volatile, in order to gain the
- 47:52gain in value. So volatility.
- 47:54Yeah, its ups and downs but volatility is Vitality, as as
- 48:00Leon quoted in our most recent hard money, which I thought was
- 48:03great and I'm going to steal that and use it in my Bitcoin,
- 48:07Arsenal weren't real Arsenal, I love that, I love that.
- 48:11Anyways Opti, let's this was, this was a lot of fun.
- 48:16Appreciate having Rowdy on today.
- 48:18Let's get to the memes. Let's review some memes, bro.
- 48:20Let's do it. The daily meme review brought to
- 48:27you by Kaboom racks. I get this question all the
- 48:29time. Nico.

- 48:33racks. It's the best place to buy
- 48:35Bitcoin miners. That's where you're going to

- 48:52Kaboom. All right guys, this is your
- 48:56favorite portion of the show. This is a deeply.
- 48:58I think we got that sponsor because it kept saying that, I'm
- 49:01pretty sure that's exactly exactly.
- 49:04Why you just can't running around, Kaboom, right?
- 49:07It's going to say in the microphone Max, you know I got
- 49:13that. You got that low end Busan.
- 49:14All right, anyways. Anyways, anyways, this is the me
- 49:16review. This is your favorite portion of
- 49:18the show where you send us memes and we review them live, and
- 49:21then you give us me more. Scores in the chat and we cover
- 49:23them live as well. Tweeter the bullet means of the
- 49:27artillery. We are in a battle for the
- 49:29hearts and minds of the masses out there.
- 49:31This is an information War. Do not forget this, do not do
- 49:36not take lightly what you guys are doing out there.
- 49:38Propagating, the memes making the signal having conversations
- 49:41with your friends and family, you know, in meatspace, these
- 49:44are important things, guys. This is all we really have to do
- 49:47is Wake more people up. Anyways, let's get into these
- 49:50mean reviews. Just first one is by, By at
- 49:52Denver BTC Maxie and we got a Chad big corner and it goes guys
- 49:57it's a peer-to-peer electronic cash system permissionless and
- 50:00deflationary and we got some melting Whoa, Jack's over here
- 50:02and they go Ryan Reynolds. Just done a video, Deadpool 3
- 50:05with Wolverine coming 2024 and then the Bitcoin goes.
- 50:10Fuck this. All right, Wolverine together.
- 50:23You may need to clean Twitter. Some laser eyes closed.
- 50:26What is right? We got one of Rusty here and you
- 50:29guys know Schwab. There is no reason you need to
- 50:31rent seek between stranded energy and Bitcoin miners and we
- 50:34got Klaus Schwab right here in between the stranded energy and
- 50:37the Bitcoin Miners and he's trying to get his grubby little
- 50:40fingers in the world of Rusty saying, everything that has
- 50:43Bitcoin order thinking like you guys.
- 50:44So what's the attack Vector here?
- 50:46It comes in to take credit for reducing emissions.
- 50:48He comes in and says data centers, oil companies, exchange
- 50:50for carbon credits, rather than Bitcoin.
- 50:52Join rent-seeking. What is the angle here, guys?
- 50:56Drop it in the chat. What is the angle anyways?
- 50:58This next meme is by at pleb signal BTC and this is the joke
- 51:02that I think all of us big Hunters noticed in that world
- 51:04economic Forum video because say, what kind of data center it
- 51:08is? Well, they're coming for him
- 51:10partly because Bitcoin mining. Oh yeah, yeah, yes, it is
- 51:15Bitcoin miners guys, just say it just say it just say, Okay, this
- 51:19next one is a shot at the heart of coin.
- 51:22Tagged Us in this after Friday's show and we got this the scene
- 51:27from 1984 and it goes internet will be censored.
- 51:30Hate speech is outlawed. And we got Big Brother telling
- 51:32us what they want to do and this is cuz we were covering on this
- 51:37on the Friday show and this next one.
- 51:39I know Beauty on gives a shit a lot because we covered the memes
- 51:42and we and we devote so much harm to the memes, but he did a
- 51:45pretty good Meme here, whether whether he meant to, I think he
- 51:49meant to anyways. We got we got a man.
- 51:52Man in bed. Scared with the covers over him
- 51:55and Beauty on goes, don't be this Bitcoin.
- 51:57ER and you know, he takes a lot of flack.
- 52:00But what I think he's saying, guys, is be proud to be a big
- 52:05Corner. Spread the signal, tell people
- 52:06that there's the solution, we have the freedom tools out there
- 52:09and I don't think I know there's a time and a place for guerrilla
- 52:13warfare and hiding and running and doing that kind of battle.
- 52:17But I think it is also very important for us to be vocal to
- 52:21be out front too. Do people we have the solutions?
- 52:24And you know not hiding behind your keyboards every single day.
- 52:28Just to be clear, just to be clear YouTube when he talks
- 52:31about guerrilla warfare, it's metaphorically, it's metaphoric
- 52:36and it's information Warfare. We are not advocating for him.
- 52:39Any time at it, Jesus, dude. Okay, I can't even talk anymore,
- 52:48okay? Okay.
- 52:48Alright, leave review. All right.
- 52:50Drop your me. Move you score in the chat?
- 52:52While we cover hours, I think this is another simply Bitcoin
- 52:55exclusive. I don't think I've ever seen
- 52:57this on the show but if you know if you have a if you have a
- 53:01Mexican mother then you might know what I'm what I'm about to
- 53:04show you some some arnica. Okay, you put it on everything.
- 53:11When did that work? If you got a chocolate thrown at
- 53:15you? Well, My head, too.
- 53:23All right. I feel like there's just like a
- 53:24lot of mom thing. Anyways, I'm going to give it
- 53:27this half. Drink essential water.
- 53:31It still remember. It's what you said earlier?
- 53:33It's a cold essentially. No no.
- 53:35I would have said cold, but it was cold when I went in the
- 53:39beginning. But now it's like he's LARPing.
- 53:41It's still cold but it's not like it was.
- 53:44I see it like dice exact. It's not ice cold anymore.
- 53:46So that's my score. Anyways, Rowdy, what would you
- 53:48give those mean scores those memes?
- 53:51Well, A lukewarm cup of coffee, but it's premium coffee.
- 53:58So, I don't want to say that it's, you know, by lukewarm,
- 54:01that's a bad thing. The coffee is so good, that this
- 54:04is a hell of a price, and I'm going to give give you guys that
- 54:06let's go. Okay, what kind of coffee?
- 54:08What kind of coffee you drink? It is root of Maya actually
