Transcript
- 0:05Welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin.
- 0:07We're talking about the Bitcoin, use the memes, the fails, the
- 0:11fails, by the central Bankers government's, we have it.
- 0:13All will keep you in the loop for this peaceful Bitcoin
- 0:17Revolution. But anyways opting it's time for
- 0:21brought to you by not old, they make some of the best Bitcoin
- 0:24notes like the not a one. The one I'm holding in my in my
- 0:27hands around your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 0:28The lightning Network pool and Dojo all from the comfort of
- 0:32your own home. Remember guys, if you don't run
- 0:35your own Bitcoin node like the noddle, you're trusting someone
- 0:38else's Aunt. If you're on the go your digital
- 0:42Nomad now you could run inaudible through a virtual
- 0:45private server. Visit not all dot-eu at the time
- 0:48of this recording. The Bitcoin.
- 0:49Price is 23,000 $815 SATs per dollar.
- 0:54Also known as Moscow, time, 4199 Bitcoin.
- 1:00It's in corporate treasuries 1 million six hundred and sixty
- 1:04thousand Bitcoin block height, seven hundred forty forty five
- 1:08thousand, seven hundred and eighty two, the amount of
- 1:11reachable Bitcoin nodes, 15,000 157, percentage issued ninety
- 1:17Point, 94% blocks to having 90 4218 having estimate.
- 1:23I'm looking forward to that date April 18, 20 24, the block
- 1:28subsidy value, Third and forty, eight thousand nine hundred and
- 1:32six. And for anyone, that doesn't
- 1:34know that right roughly every 10 minutes, a Bitcoin block is
- 1:38found the new transactions are included in that block and the
- 1:42Bitcoin network will rewards the minor.
- 1:45That found that block with the block subsidy right now, it's at
- 1:496.25 or roughly 140,000 dollars in two years that 6.25 will get
- 1:58cut in half. All right, Next thing I want to
- 2:02address. We got a very interesting
- 2:03comment from, definitely a friend, and let's pull it up
- 2:09from nappy wise. I'll pop it up.
- 2:11On screen for you guys, Nico, can you explain why you
- 2:15advertise not? Oil is self custody, it's this.
- 2:19The same as e running with nodes running.
- 2:22On Amazon web server or Compass miners selling mining minor
- 2:26Services. I bought a novel Dojo a few
- 2:29months back with you. Starting advertising on your
- 2:31channel, as well as a my note. Thanks to the information from
- 2:34Phil, just wondering what changed your opinion, okay?
- 2:38That's an excellent question. I actually reached out to the
- 2:41natto, guys, so that they could answer the question.
- 2:45And of course, you know, I know a little bit about this, so I'll
- 2:47chime in as well. Let me pull it up.
- 2:50Okay, so I sent it to them. They said unchain coins are
- 2:56always self custody because you're using a hardware or
- 3:00mobile wallet with them for lightning.
- 3:02It's on the server but you're still the only admin root of the
- 3:07server. So of course you have to trust
- 3:09us to some extent but still better than to trust Amazon.
- 3:13And on the trust set up with a cloud provider, you all will you
- 3:17also have a WS a non Bitcoin company with thousands of
- 3:21employees versus noddle a Bitcoin.
- 3:24Company that actually owns the hardware in this case.
- 3:28So, there's trade-offs for sure, but we're clear about these and
- 3:32upfront. So let's talk a little bit about
- 3:33the trade-offs, right? And that was the response from
- 3:36the awesome guys that novel. So, if you are at home, right,
- 3:41you're not moving around, right? Getta.
- 3:46Get a novel note, right? You could plug it in, right?
- 3:50I always say during the ad is a digital Nomad, right?
- 3:53If you're moving around and you're, you know, going from
- 3:55hotel to hotel, to are be to Aaron B to A and B A and B,
- 4:00ideally you'd still want to run your own Bitcoin node, right?
- 4:04So it's better to better solution than, for example, if
- 4:08you use your blue wallet, or you use another wallet, right?
- 4:13And you connected to Random note, right?
- 4:16Because every time you connect to a node, that's not yours what
- 4:19you're doing is, you're doxing your transactions and your
- 4:22doxxing the addresses that you're checking to check that
- 4:25balance of, right? So ideally you always want to
- 4:28run your own note, right? And also not to mention when you
- 4:31run your own node, you get voting power because you get to
- 4:33decide what Bitcoin software you want to run and what Bitcoin
- 4:36software you don't want to run. So is it better than An actual
- 4:42node at your home plugged in to your ethernet port.
- 4:47No, it's not better. Is it better than trusting some
- 4:50random node once you open up your blue wallet, of course,
- 4:54it's better, right? Because at least it's your data
- 4:57and I might be mistaken here but I think that not all guys also
- 5:01told me that it's encrypted as well, right?
- 5:03So again it's definitely some place in the middle and it's
- 5:08useful. Specifically, which is what I
- 5:10always say this. Useful, in my opinion for
- 5:12digital Nomads. Also, for example, what if you
- 5:15have a restaurant? What if you just want to receive
- 5:17lightning payments, right? That's it's a really good
- 5:20solution, right? So it's a good solution but it
- 5:24definitely doesn't replace getting your own note.
- 5:26So I hope that answers your question but they have it.
- 5:30All right. If you want your own node you
- 5:32could do that not Allure. If you know your digital Nomad,
- 5:35you're on the go you're always traveling.
- 5:37You could use the novel Cloud so they have both Solutions and
- 5:40they're both. Be very useful, but good, good.
- 5:43Noticing that. Anyways, the video that I want
- 5:46to react to today Opti, I haven't got to play it but I do
- 5:50trust. Crypto graffitis judgment Jack,
- 5:54muntjac mahler's might drop. Exclamation of proof-of-work,
- 5:58verse proof of stake. Remember, we played Jack Mahler
- 6:01a clip of Jack mahler's yesterday.
- 6:03This was the Bloomberg crypto thing that they were hosting,
- 6:07and Matt Miller, I'm sure was asking him a question like, oh,
- 6:10proof of work. So much energy.
- 6:12What about proof of stake? Anyways, it's a 2 minute clip.
- 6:15Let's see what he has to say. One of the things we talked
- 6:17about on our crypto show a lot is proof of work versus proof of
- 6:20stake. We have people come on like Joe
- 6:21lube and who really defend the idea of proof of stake and
- 6:24saying that it's going to be. He's got a lot more secure.
- 6:26No, he doesn't. But what's your taking ethers
- 6:30been Challenger? Is that the SEC?
- 6:33No, it's not. Um, so first of all, using
- 6:36energy is not bad thing. Matt like engineering and the
- 6:40use of a Energy is implied in like the growth of humanity.
- 6:44You know what else? Uses a lot of energy it
- 6:45airplane. So tell you what?
- 6:47You don't like on a Jeep. Next time.
- 6:49You and the wife go to Europe. You take a kayak.
- 6:51I'll fly United next time you want to save and grow your
- 6:55family's. Well you use the dollar.
- 6:57I'll use Bitcoin next time you wash your clothes.
- 7:00You can scrape, your kids? Staying out of the white
- 7:03T-shirt, I'll use a washing machine but what since when was
- 7:07using energy a bad thing, I mean come on like it's absolutely a
- 7:11Tonight in ridiculous. And even the carbon footprint, I
- 7:13mean, it like incentive out, it's the best use of energy, you
- 7:16know, like what an airplane can't do or your washing
- 7:18machine. Like make use of excess energy
- 7:20of a waterfall, so it helps stabilize the grid.
- 7:24Like if you want an asset to have a commodity premium which
- 7:27you know, this room knows what that is.
- 7:29Creating Money Can't Be Free, guys, what are we talking about?
- 7:34Like the fact that if a lot of people want to create Bitcoin,
- 7:37it becomes more difficult, is why the thing works.
- 7:40Your With Bitcoins not a liability.
- 7:43Okay, your relationship with Bitcoin is not a proxy to some
- 7:46Foundation, some team, some corporate structure some
- 7:49development decision. In fact, the founder of Bitcoin
- 7:53he she or they might be dad. Hmm.
- 7:58And it's working really well, Matt.
- 8:01That's what sailor means. When it's a property, there's no
- 8:04liability relationship proof of stake.
- 8:07Your relationship with that assets liability.
- 8:09A stable coin, your relationship with.
- 8:10That's a liability in He what you want is a monetary asset
- 8:13where there are no liability relationships.
- 8:16That's the whole point of the thing.
- 8:18That's what, proof-of-work solved.
- 8:19That Boom. Wow dude I think we've covered
- 8:24this topic so many times but Jack mahler's just has a fucking
- 8:28way with words, bro. Absolutely pointing out the
- 8:31difference right between the two what we always say.
- 8:34Right. Bitcoin successfully separated
- 8:37human humans out of the equation proof of stake.
- 8:40It's just a continuation of the old system anyways, Opti, what
- 8:45do you think about Jack Ballers, being Jack Ballers Jack ballers?
- 8:51Said it yesterday I'll say it again that kids got Swagger and
- 8:55that's why he stays winning guys and also shuts out the Joe
- 8:58Rogers in the chat. I spy Little, Joe Rogers,
- 9:01comment on that thread. But back to the topic I like to
- 9:07frame this as convince me that energy uses wrong and then we
- 9:12can talk about this. Fundamentally convince me that
- 9:15using energy is in a good thing and then we can talk about
- 9:19whether Bitcoin Eating energy is wasteful or useful and if you
- 9:24can't do that, then get out the kitchen because we all know what
- 9:28time it is. Guys energy uses good.
- 9:30The more energy Society uses the more prosperous that Society is.
- 9:34So these people that want you to not use energy, they want to
- 9:38take you back to the Stone Age. Has guys, they want to eliminate
- 9:41you the carbon. They're trying to eliminate
- 9:43because they don't want you flourishing.
- 9:47Guys, remember what the wife tells you is?
- 9:49This is their marketing. Not ours, you will own nothing
- 9:52and be happy, that includes not using any energy usage that
- 9:57includes, you know minimizing the technology stack that you
- 10:01can use. These people were literally want
- 10:03to take you back to the Stone Age, has and damn near
- 10:06eliminate. A mass portion of the population
- 10:09guys. This is what I suppose hold on.
- 10:13The pole Donnelly supposedly supposedly said, hopefully I
- 10:16made that clear supposedly oh God.
- 10:20I apologize. I know you complete me out.
- 10:23Whatever mentally Ballers says it perfectly, there's no
- 10:30counterparty risk to proof-of-work.
- 10:32Bitcoin proof of steak is just recreating the Fiat system on
- 10:35the blockchain. It's asinine use more energy.
- 10:39Energy uses good orange. Coined good.
- 10:42Yellow Rock. Bad traditional banking bad.
- 10:44Let's go. Oh man.
- 10:48Now huh, Opti I love having Optimus fields on the So dude.
- 10:51So yeah. Look it.
- 10:53You could definitely say the global is the party of Davos
- 10:56want the deplores. They want the peasants not
- 10:58using, you know, more energy that they're entitled to when
- 11:02they go on their private jets, right?
- 11:03We know that for sure, the, the energy policy being pushed, you
- 11:08know, by some institution, by some politicians have been very
- 11:11harmful, but that part that you said about killing people.
- 11:15I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
- 11:20But I also in foil hat on, but I will say this, okay, I will say
- 11:24this, a lot of things that were conspiracies, six or seven
- 11:29months ago are turning out to be true, okay?
- 11:32So that is my comment on that. But anyways, going back to this
- 11:36proof-of-work thing that that Jack ma was just talking about.
- 11:40Absolutely, there is a direct correlation with human
- 11:44prosperity and energy use and it's disgusting that they've
- 11:47convinced half or 40% of the population.
- 11:50Asian that using energy is a bad thing, right?
- 11:54So I think that the fight for Bitcoin mining, right?
- 11:58Is really a fight about whether an individual can get to decide
- 12:04what energy use is, okay? And what energy use is not okay.
- 12:08And what another side says is, hey, the bureaucrats get to
- 12:11decide that basically a form of central planning and it's had
- 12:16catastrophic consequences look at the prices of energy in
- 12:19California. Look at the prices of energy in
- 12:22Germany, Germany. Even had to backtrack on some of
- 12:25its policies because reality smack them in the face when
- 12:30Russia invaded Ukraine. So, yeah, there's definitely
- 12:33some truth to what Opti was saying.
- 12:35Don't count it out, that's for sure, but anyways Opti it's time
- 12:38for the Daily News brought to you by cryptic looks.com they

- 13:23down below to get 5% off the store and in Europe the European
- 13:27store is now open check out crypto cloaks.com today.
- 13:29All right everybody check this out, big big news, the largest
- 13:34bank in the Eurozone to launch Bitcoin, crypto custody
- 13:39platform, the French Bank Pete BNP Paribas the leading Private
- 13:46Bank in the Eurozone will become a custodial service provider for
- 13:49Bitcoin and other Digital assets with over five hundred and six
- 13:53billion of assets. Across the u.s.
- 13:55Asia and Europe BNP, Paribas wealth management, leverages
- 13:596800 professionals across an international Network making
- 14:03them the lead Private Bank under the Euro system.
- 14:06The monetary authority of the Eurozone compassing 19 European,
- 14:10union members, moreover BNP Security Services, the bank's
- 14:15asset custodial service holds over thirteen trillion dollars
- 14:20in assets under management. Holy cow, imagine just a small
- 14:26percentage of that. Now, before you get your panties
- 14:29in a bunch, all right. This does not help the
- 14:33revolution, the revolution is people buying Bitcoin, mining
- 14:37Bitcoin, earning Bitcoin and then taking it into self
- 14:40custody. If everyone just used a bank, to
- 14:44custody their Bitcoin, the problems that we have today
- 14:47would not change the problems stem from the fact that you're
- 14:51trusting, a government that could be captured by sorry.
- 14:54A trusting a bank that could be captured by a government to
- 14:57holds your money, right? That's a fundamental issue with
- 15:01the World that's going on today if you live in the western world
- 15:05and you're like, nah, that's not a problem.
- 15:07My friend you have Financial privilege.
- 15:10Okay. Most people about 60% of the
- 15:12world, do not have the benefits that you have.
- 15:16They put their their money in the bank and there's custodial
- 15:19risk. But at the same time, this is
- 15:22potentially bullish for the price.
- 15:24I'm not going to lie, that's thirteen trillion dollars in
- 15:26their assets is only 12 percent of that whole, you know pile.
- 15:32Of money, that all that wealth, all that Capital went into
- 15:34Bitcoin. That is a lot of goddamn money
- 15:37going in. And remember the awesome part
- 15:38about Bitcoin, that's there's only so much, you know, you
- 15:41can't print more of it, right? So what happens when people are
- 15:43buying more and nobody wants to sell the price tends to go up?
- 15:46So it's bittersweet right. It's it's cool because it's a
- 15:51lot of money and at the same time not so cool because this
- 15:55doesn't help the revolution. This doesn't help Bitcoin
- 15:57Revolution this doesn't help the plebs man.
- 15:59What you want is more individuals.
- 16:02Himself custody, but I definitely think this is some,
- 16:04this is worthy of being called signal Opti.
- 16:06What do you think? Well, I'm really glad that you
- 16:10went that angle because when I tweeted this, I basically said,
- 16:14middlemen, middle Manning and I besides the fact that they have
- 16:20trillions of dollars under assets, our custody I'm like man
- 16:25who really cares if a bank wants to custody your Bitcoin, the
- 16:28real Revolution like you said is the plebs out there, putting
- 16:32their Bitcoin in Cold Storage but I think this is a good Good
- 16:38point to illustrate that guys. It really does feel like we have
- 16:43crossed the Rubicon and Bitcoin is in the mainstream and there
- 16:46is no going back. Bitcoins, incentives are winning
- 16:50and everyone that wants Prophet anyone.
- 16:53That sees where the road is going understands that they have
- 16:57to get into Bitcoin some way. So, you know, middle men's are
- 17:01going to do what they always do and try to middlemen when a
- 17:06hammer is the only tool you have.
- 17:07Have everything looks like a nail.
- 17:09So as Nico said, take your Bitcoin off exchanges.
- 17:14The revolution is self custody, and that is the way that is the
- 17:18way up to us. The second best.
- 17:21There is no second best. Anyways, fuck it.
- 17:25Love the soundboard. Anyways, moving on to the next
- 17:28Story. The climate foot.
- 17:30Once again was wrong Bitcoin working exactly like design is
- 17:36an article from Reuters for our Listeners Texas, Bitcoin.
- 17:39Miners back online. After power surge caused
- 17:43curtailments. Guys, pay attention to the
- 17:47fucking framing, okay? The framing is what pisses me
- 17:49off, Texas? Bitcoin?
- 17:50Miners back online after power surge caused curtailment, that
- 17:54is what was agreed upon, think about it.
- 17:56This way, basic supply and demand, there's a lot of demand
- 17:59from the grid, right? That means that the electricity
- 18:02is very expensive, is very expensive, it's less profitable
- 18:05to mine Bitcoin, it only makes sense if there's excess energy,
- 18:09right? And for all you guys that love
- 18:12renewable energy, right, renewable energies is not a
- 18:15Table form of energy, right? There's ups and downs.
- 18:18There's not son all the time, there's not wind all the time,
- 18:21but if you're a grid operator you kind of have to provide
- 18:24stability. So what Jack Mahler said in the
- 18:27numbers video that we played for you guys Bitcoin miners, provide
- 18:31grid stability and that is the reality anyways large-scale
- 18:36Bitcoin mining operations in Texas are back online after
- 18:39sweltering temperatures that cause electricity use to spike
- 18:42led to power curtailments earlier this month an Regroup
- 18:45said on Tuesday, all the major Bitcoin miners would choose
- 18:48energy-intensive. Supercomputers to mine for
- 18:51cryptocurrencies, had paused operations last week as
- 18:54temperatures soared in the Lone Star.
- 18:56State power demands hit an all-time highs as residents and
- 19:00businesses turned up their air conditioners.
- 19:03Wait a sec. I thought energy use was bad.
- 19:05Can't use air conditioners you got to use fans.
- 19:07You got to use hand fans The electricity reliability Council
- 19:12of Texas. Which operates the grid for more
- 19:14than 26 million customers and accounts for about 90 percent of
- 19:17the state's power load. Did not immune.
- 19:19I'm going to cut that out. Three, two, one the miners are
- 19:22all back online. As a several days ago.
- 19:24Seed said Lee, bratcher president of the Texas
- 19:27blockchain council and is back to normal operating mode with
- 19:30over 3,000 megawatts holy crap, one megawatt is already a big
- 19:35want mine three that, holy crap, that is live.
- 19:38Anyways Very good A little bit of noise but I'm going to
- 19:41connect it with this part, right?
- 19:44And have a question for Elon Musk at the end of this.
- 19:49The Bitcoin mining Council a voluntary global forum of
- 19:52Bitcoin mining companies and other companies in the Bitcoin
- 19:54industry announced the findings of its second-quarter 2022,
- 19:58survey focused on three metrics electricity consumption
- 20:01technological, efficiency and sustainable power.
- 20:04Mix, The BMC has now collected data from over 50 percent of the
- 20:08global Network representing 107 EXA hashes as of June 30th 2022
- 20:14and its latest voluntary. Survey sector the results of
- 20:18this survey showed that the members of The BMC and
- 20:20participants in the survey are currently utilizing electricity
- 20:24with a sixty six point eight, sustainable power mix based on
- 20:29this data, it is estimated that Global Bitcoin mining industry,
- 20:33sustainable electricity mix is now 59 percent has increased
- 20:39approximately Oxen only six percent year on year, making it
- 20:42one of the most sustainable Industries globally.
- 20:45Additionally, year on year. It is estimated that Global
- 20:47Bitcoin networks technological, efficiency Group by 46% from
- 20:51fourteen point, four x and hashes and Q2 twenty twenty one
- 20:56to twenty 1.1 x. A hashes per gigawatt in Q2
- 21:002022, the efficiency gain reaffirms.
- 21:03The fact that is the Bitcoin Network groped, continues to
- 21:05grow, it will become more efficient over.
- 21:09Time. That is a nail in the coffin, to
- 21:13all the energy fun. All the attacks that we got from
- 21:18those people that in my opinion, they're not really concerned
- 21:22about Bitcoins energy uses they're concerned about power
- 21:26and control. Well, that kind of debunks a lot
- 21:29of their arguments. Not only does the Bitcoin
- 21:32Network become more efficient over time.
- 21:34The Bitcoin network is one of the most sustainable Industries
- 21:38ever. Why doesn't why doesn't the why
- 21:41isn't the banking sector hold to these high standards?
- 21:44Why aren't hair dryers hold to these high standards?
- 21:46Why are you guys picking on bitcoin that?
- 21:49In fact provide stability to the grid what is going on here?
- 21:52These are some hard questions that you guys will never answer
- 21:56because your intentions are insincere Opti.
- 21:59What are your thoughts? Man, I just got to give you some
- 22:03horn for that one, but first off, on the Texas news, I think
- 22:09I read somewhere and you guys could correct me.
- 22:11But Texas has the highest renewable or highest percentage
- 22:16of renewable energy in the state and they're still trying to
- 22:20blame Bitcoin mining as the reason for their grid, not being
- 22:25secure and safe. We know what the real reason is
- 22:29guys. It's not because of Mine.
- 22:32Anyways, the second point. I'm so glad we have these
- 22:35numbers because for a while there I've been just kind of
- 22:38saying a little bit through here say that Bitcoin is the greenest
- 22:42industry period. It is the cleanest industry by
- 22:45far and now we have the numbers guys because as you guys know
- 22:51Bitcoin is a rounding error when it comes to energy, use its
- 22:55miniscule. It's a tiny industry in regards
- 22:58to how much energy is used in the A world that is polluting
- 23:02planet Earth. And what do they do?
- 23:04They blame it all on bitcoin. When it's just a tiny, tiny
- 23:08little sliver of all the energy use because we know what they
- 23:12know Bitcoin is the exit door and they have to block it as
- 23:16much as possible. So they fought it so that the
- 23:19average person doesn't escape the matrix.
- 23:22So we know what time it is guys. We know what the narrative is
- 23:25and that's why we're here to counter the Fudd.
- 23:28Yeah, absolutely man. Hit the nail on the head.
- 23:30One last Softy before we move on to your fail check this out.
- 23:36It's a good question for Elon. Elon Musk said Tesla will resume
- 23:40Bitcoin payments when mining is 50 percent sustainable the
- 23:43Bitcoin mounting Council found that Bitcoin mining has eight
- 23:46fifty nine percent sustainable energy.
- 23:48Mix when resume Bitcoin payment Salon?
- 23:52Yeah that's a really good question.
- 23:53Ilan, that's a really good question.
- 23:54He Lon. I don't know man.
- 23:57You gotta answer it anyways. Opti it's time for the Daily.
- 24:01We fail brought to you by Swan Swan is the best way to build
- 24:06your Bitcoin stack with automated Bitcoin savings plans
- 24:10and instant purchases serving clients of any size from ten
- 24:13dollars to ten million dollars guys we love Swan.
- 24:17The reason that we love Swan is because it fits with the Bitcoin
- 24:21print, the simply Bitcoin principles man.
- 24:23We don't believe in speculation Swan is it incentivize you to
- 24:29use dollar cost average has And it also incentivizes you to take
- 24:34self custody sign up today. Swan Bitcoin.com.
- 24:38All right. What's up guys?
- 24:40It's your boy Opti. I'm here to do the fail and as
- 24:43you can see on the screen we got Gemini in the news, we got more
- 24:48contagion fail for you guys because it's everywhere.
- 24:53Guys. So as you can see, on the
- 24:54screen, we got Gemini lays off more employees for the second
- 24:57time in two months. So let's go over this on June
- 25:002nd. And we got the news that Gem and
- 25:02I had laid off 10% of their Workforce as the shit coin
- 25:06Revolution. Enters its contraction phase.
- 25:09So again, Gemini cut approximately 10% of the
- 25:13workforce and the Dual attributed, the layoffs to
- 25:16turbulent market conditions that are likely to persist.
- 25:20For some time, sounds very reasonable, very reasonable.
- 25:24Well, two weeks later on July 18, Chicken exchange Gemini.
- 25:29Execute second round of layoffs, less than two months after
- 25:34cutting, 10% of its staff, guys. Even by normal standards by no
- 25:38more shit coin bear Market standards to layoffs within
- 25:43weeks of 10% or more, doesn't look good for the company and
- 25:48not only does that not look good for the company around the same
- 25:52time, the Winklevoss twins, take their cover band on the road.
- 25:58Why they are cutting employees? So are they distracted?
- 26:01Do they have other priorities? What is going on?
- 26:05Well, shouts out to Yellow because they're trying to steal
- 26:08your Vibes, bro. Look at this first sentence.
- 26:11They are covering Don't Stop Believing.
- 26:13This is our me more than they're just living in it.
- 26:15Anyways, apparently not only are they on a cover man, not only is
- 26:22Gemini struggling, but they have embarked on a 10 stop
- 26:26cross-country to learn. And lie and launch a line of a
- 26:30company and of teas for their band that is correct, guys.
- 26:35They have an mft for their band much.
- 26:37Wow, much Innovation anyways. This is where it gets really
- 26:42really juicy guys. So we got tagged in this.
- 26:45As you can see the simply Bitcoin tweet is retweeted by
- 26:49Mitchell hard on. He goes if I had funds on Gemini
- 26:53or Gemini earn, I would be shaking in my boots right now.
- 26:56It's no wonder why. The Vic Winkle by have begun
- 26:59going all-in on their little cover band.
- 27:02So let's just look at these receipts.
- 27:05Hmm Gemini earn program term schedule a approved ball
- 27:09workers. Genesis Global Capital, do you
- 27:13remember what's been going on in the news guys?
- 27:17Genesis file is 1.2 billion dollar claim against three
- 27:19hours. Capital Genesis let 2.4 billion
- 27:23to hedge funds. Three arrows Capital.
- 27:26Let's get out of the numbers. Did the Strand yesterday, guys?
- 27:30And this is based off that thousand page.
- 27:32Court document And as you can see, guys Genesis took the
- 27:38biggest hit in regards to three hours Capital with that 2.3
- 27:42Billy that they lent out. So what is going on over at
- 27:47Gemini as we've been telling you for a few days?
- 27:50I actually probably weeks. Now, if you follow the money,
- 27:54you will understand what is going on in the Bitcoin Market,
- 27:58you will understand why some quote unquote bitcoiners are
- 28:02going full Bitcoin deranged syndrome.
- 28:05And going on Twitter and just having these atrocious,
- 28:09emotional breakdowns, against toxic Bitcoin maximalist,
- 28:12because it's all our fault that these guys are over leveraged
- 28:15High, rehypothecation your Bitcoin and doing extremely
- 28:19risky stuff with your Bitcoin, because you're giving them your
- 28:23keys again. Guys, you need to take your
- 28:25Bitcoin off exchanges. This is the Revolution, and
- 28:30personally, this isn't necessarily just a Gemini fail,
- 28:34even They're failing guys. This is the tell you you need to
- 28:38self custody your Bitcoin. I don't know how many data
- 28:41points we have to tell you, but exchanges are not wallets.
- 28:45Don't hold your Bitcoin on exchanges for long-term.
- 28:48Don't leave more money on an exchange than you're willing to
- 28:51lose. Guys.
- 28:51Take your Bitcoin in the self custody and don't use Gemini
- 28:55guys. This this is looking real bad
- 28:57for them. We shall see what the total
- 29:01total cost of this will be, but man, it's getting crazy out
- 29:04there. I survived this bear Market,
- 29:06it's getting bloody anyways, Niko, you got another extra take
- 29:09on this dude. Look, if here's the reality,
- 29:14right? Gemini's, the shit coin exchange
- 29:16so it was coinbase but if any of those exchanges go down, it's a
- 29:20very very bad. It's very bad news, the
- 29:25confidence shocks that that would said throughout the
- 29:28industry because you have to understand there's levels of
- 29:30exchanges, right? There's There's, you know, the
- 29:35sketchy live coin and, you know, the cool coin and all that,
- 29:39really weird stuff. And then, you know, once you get
- 29:44higher, right? There's like bit Max.
- 29:46But once you get to the like, the top-tier, right?
- 29:50Kraken, coinbase Gemini, once you get to that, right?
- 29:57You have to understand that a lot of the institutional money,
- 30:00it goes through that it goes through those exchanges because
- 30:02they have all the bells and Missile Jammer has the
- 30:04bitlicense in New York, right? So it would be very bad for the
- 30:09price. Now, does this affect the
- 30:12toddler, the Revolutionary, the peaceful revolutionary that we
- 30:15advocate for, on the show? No, it doesn't because take
- 30:18Bitcoin, you buy it and immediately you take it into
- 30:21self custody, right? But look, here's another
- 30:24example. You play by shit coins, you die
- 30:28by shit coins, and you know, let's see what happens, but
- 30:32definitely Opti I agree with you.
- 30:33Those are Some very very troubling signs.
- 30:35Anyways, what's it, what's the next fill?
- 30:37My bro. Agreed, let's hope they are not
- 30:40too big to fail, boys, and girls.
- 30:42Anyways, I got some more fail here guys.
- 30:45And this thread popped up on my radar yesterday, but it was
- 30:49released on July 18th. And this has David Marcus.
- 30:53If you guys are unfamiliar with David, Marcus, I have this over
- 30:57here to explain to you. He was once at Facebook's
- 31:02cryptocurrency company. Or meta.
- 31:04I forget what the, what was the project called like zebra?
- 31:08It was a big was Libra. Yeah, I think I think was
- 31:10leaving. Anyways, you can look at the
- 31:12date. November, 30 is 2021, David
- 31:14Marcus had a Facebook parent company.
- 31:16Metas, cryptocurrency efforts announced on Tuesday.
- 31:19He will be leaving the company at the end of the year.
- 31:21I didn't bring it up but I'm just reminded that the metal
- 31:23project was completely shut down after just recently, I think it
- 31:27was like two weeks ago, three weeks ago, maybe Bitcoin time
- 31:29flies so fast. Don't hold me to the actual day
- 31:32guide, but we know that the meta project.
- 31:33Got shut down as well but that's not the fail.
- 31:36The fail, is this tweet right here and it's just a beautiful
- 31:40tweet because it's it's just such a shit coin perspective
- 31:45that it's amazing. And we're going to clear it up
- 31:47in the thread. So, David Marcus goes, I never
- 31:49understood the schadenfreude between the etherium and the
- 31:52Bitcoin communities. These two will end up being
- 31:55complementary. One is a protocol for the
- 31:57decentralized web and the other for the most secure and trusted
- 32:02form of July's store of value and sediment.
- 32:06Wow, sounds sound. So profound so profound and then
- 32:10you see jaemin's does not go conflicting principles.
- 32:14Make such classes inevitable and he goes this, this might be one
- 32:18of my favorite commenters at the one under he goes, I get that
- 32:21but we can let each other be and let the markets play out over
- 32:25time. I don't believe there's any
- 32:26value in a public fight especially at this still Nation
- 32:31stage in the industry guys. Sword, sharpened sword, pleb
- 32:37sharpens pleb can't take the heat, get out the kitchen.
- 32:40David anyways, Jameson, Locke toes?
- 32:42You're suggesting that it's silly for developing that work
- 32:45states to Skirmish. I've made similar arguments in
- 32:48the past, even trying to prevent Bitcoin Forks.
- 32:51But unlike nation states, there are no leaders who can order
- 32:54Forks to cease. Fire that leaves.
- 32:57Don't like that one. And here we go, fair and I
- 33:00understand the psychology and Dynamics at play here, but for
- 33:03most folks outside of our world Krypto is one indistinguishable
- 33:08things. So, infighting will set us all
- 33:10back. And then Bitcoin, Tina goes
- 33:13better. People shouldn't buy scams?
- 33:16Yes, agreed guys. This is how the shit coiners
- 33:20scam you out of your Bitcoin. And again, on the same thread,
- 33:25we have Stephon lovera answering and we go into the same
- 33:30thinking. So, Stefan de Burgos, if they
- 33:32are complementary, then why are you people talking about
- 33:35ultrasound money? Clearly, they recognize there's
- 33:38competition on that aspect. Here signal and then we got g a
- 33:44coma under here and he goes even better, why didn't they launched
- 33:47a UT exobase for coin like be cash or even better a trustless
- 33:51space chain that can never steal liquidity from Bitcoins,
- 33:54monetary use or even better a to WP sidechain to pay for the
- 33:59world computer gas. So Guys, these people can try to
- 34:04angle themselves next to the Bitcoin maximalist and say that
- 34:08we can all live in this Kumbaya world.
- 34:11That it isn't winner-takes-all, we are in the game of monetary.
- 34:18Expansion of monetary properties and the best money will win in
- 34:24my opinion. But furthermore, here we go.
- 34:27This is, I think where you can see how he gets this opinion and
- 34:33where the fail comes from. As my mother always said, tell
- 34:38me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.
- 34:41So we got this tweet. This was May 12 going back in
- 34:45time a little bit David. Marcus goes, I wanted Sure, that
- 34:48we are starting a new company called lights Park to explore
- 34:51build and extend the capabilities and utility of
- 34:55Bitcoin as a first step. We're actively assembling a team
- 34:58to Deep dive into the lightning Network.
- 35:02Such a courageous and and nobleman to work in the
- 35:06lightning Network for us. But as you can see here, we're
- 35:10thrilled to be joined by like-minded investors notably a
- 35:1416z crypto and paradigm. Guys, if I need to explain to
- 35:20you, why, that is the fail and why you need to pay attention,
- 35:24who your friends are. It's because a 16 funds, all the
- 35:29crypto scammed all this shit coin scams.
- 35:31If you look who's behind him, it is a 16 to z0 hence why David
- 35:36Marcus will never understand why the etherium and Bitcoin
- 35:40communities. We'll never be complementary.
- 35:45Nico. You got some thoughts cause I
- 35:47want to pull up a tweet before before we finish this bit, but I
- 35:52don't have it linked up. So give him some wisdom and I'll
- 35:55have that tweet for you, dude. Look, the shit coiners have to
- 36:02play these mental gymnastics and their mind in order for it to
- 36:08justify. You know, the reason And the way
- 36:13that things operate in shit coins and kind of go back to
- 36:16what Jack mahler's has to say, and you have to understand,
- 36:21right? The fundamental difference of
- 36:25Bitcoin and what makes Bitcoin unique right?
- 36:28Bitcoin separated human beings from being able to meddle with
- 36:36the monetary policy of Bitcoin So through proof-of-work Mining
- 36:42and through the network of notes, right?
- 36:47And the decentralization of that Network, All the shit coins are
- 36:55fundamentally the same thing that has existed for decades and
- 37:02decades and decades and decades. There's a an elite group.
- 37:07Whether it's the developers of the shit coin, whether it's the
- 37:10creators of the shit coin, whether it's the foundation of
- 37:13the shit coin, and those developers get to play God, very
- 37:17similar to Central Banking, it's very similar.
- 37:21So, He is advocating what he's advocating for is more of the
- 37:28same. What bitcoiners advocate for is
- 37:33something that has never existed in Mankind's history, right?
- 37:37A money that is completely separated and immune from Human
- 37:42intervention. So no matter how much political
- 37:45pressure mounts up, the Bitcoin Network ain't gonna bail you
- 37:49out. No matter how much pressure
- 37:51mounts up the Bitcoin At work isn't going to redistribute
- 37:55funds. Oh that rich guy, let's take
- 37:58away his money. You know.
- 38:00So is that what that's what makes Bitcoin different and when
- 38:05I see those types of conversations, that's what I
- 38:07think. Anyways opted you find that
- 38:09sweet brother Yes sir, I got it right here so shouts out the D,
- 38:15Whitman, awesome Bitcoin account and I got two tweets from him
- 38:19that perfectly lays this out blockchain technology.
- 38:23Without proof of work is an inefficient database.
- 38:26Web 3 is nothing but marketing and to add on that he goes
- 38:32hashtag cryptocurrency marketing Grist i conf t.
- 38:36Web 3 token Amex tokenized defies staking yields validators
- 38:40Oracle Algorithmic stable coins e 2.0 and Community guys so I
- 38:46brought all that up. Just to tell you whenever you
- 38:49hear these buds words just know where they're coming from, it's
- 38:53Bitcoin not shit. Coin, bit coin is the way
- 38:58Bitcoin is the truth Bitcoin is and that's enough Bitcoin is and
- 39:03that's enough. Beautiful beautiful.
