Transcript
- 0:16Yo welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live.
- 0:20Your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution
- 0:23because the breaking news culture and me Matic Warfare, we
- 0:25will be your guide through the separation of money and say
- 0:28that's exactly what we're living through nowadays.
- 0:30Anyways today is going to be a very special show for my
- 0:35recollection. I think this is time.
- 0:37I've seen Michael sailor and Elon Musk directly interact with
- 0:42each other and they They were reaching an agreement and I
- 0:45would even go out on a limb and I would say that what elon's
- 0:50planning to do with and we'll show you guys all the receipts,
- 0:54like we always do what elon's planning to do with Twitter.
- 0:57And we've made this case for you before, I think all roads lead
- 1:02to bitcoin because it's the only one that is decentralized.
- 1:06Meaning it's the only one that could resist that government
- 1:10coercion, right? So I think Lawn.
- 1:13It's just a matter of time before he runs into Bitcoin, but
- 1:16I will say it's a really good sign that him and sailor are a
- 1:20specifically Elon is replying to sailor.
- 1:23So, I think that that's that's some baby steps.
- 1:25Baby steps in the right direction.
- 1:26Also, we have Joe Nakamoto, perfect person to talk about
- 1:32what happened what the news that dropped over the weekend?
- 1:35SPF secretly funded the block news site.
- 1:39As that's, that's interesting how that works.
- 1:42So Joe Welcome to Simply Bitcoin happy to have you, man.
- 1:47You're muted. Yeah, it looks like a muted.

- 2:12clips about him coming around on Twitter and stuff.
- 2:14So I know if we can figure out his haughty up, today's is going
- 2:19to be a good show. And then, of course, you know,
- 2:23if I only knew Joe was here, we maybe wouldn't Talk more about
- 2:26being a journalist, but I'm prepared a whole culture bit
- 2:30about. I told everyone last week that
- 2:33one of my favorite books. And one of a highly recommended
- 2:37reading is economics in one lesson.
- 2:39So I wanted to read basically the first page or so on it.
- 2:42And then we could Riff on it. But hey, maybe in time during
- 2:45the show we can talk about some journalism, will see what's
- 2:47good. We'll see what happens.

- 2:59Yeah we are golden. We are golden.
- 3:01Everything's working our everybody.
- 3:03Who's just start the show? Let's do this.
- 3:07The Bitcoin numbers brought to you by novel.
- 3:10At this point, you should be running your own Bitcoin note.
- 3:13If you don't use your own Bitcoin know you're trusting,
- 3:16someone else's run your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 3:19The lightning Network, whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
- 3:22comfort of your own home. And if your digital Nomad, you
- 3:25have absolutely no excuse because now you can run a novel
- 3:29through a virtual private server.
- 3:30Visit not all Dottie you today. All right, everybody at the time
- 3:34of recording the Bitcoin price. 17,000 exactly 17,000, according
- 3:39to Clarke Moody dashboard. That doesn't happen very often
- 3:41the SATs / dollars at 5800 82. Block height, 767 thousand 96
- 3:47reachable Bitcoin nodes twelve thousand six hundred and
- 3:50Seventeen blocks to The Happening. 70 2904 having
- 3:54estimate that's coming up, April 25th, 2024 total lightning
- 3:58network capacity. 5070 Bitcoin, capacity value 86 million.
- 4:04U.s. Fleurs realized monetary
- 4:07inflation, Bitcoin continues to take Fiat currencies to Absolute
- 4:11School 1.76 percent and the market capitalization 326
- 4:17billion dollars with Abby. Anyways, anyways, got some
- 4:22interesting stuff for you guys. First of all, shout out to Pete
- 4:25Russo, man. He posts some Throwbacks that
- 4:28are so absolutely. Legendary.
- 4:30I thought this was really interesting.
- 4:32Exactly 12 years ago today. Satoshi Nakamoto sent his Final
- 4:35message on the Bitcoin forums the next day he logged off
- 4:39forever never to return. Dude, what a moment in time man,
- 4:4412 years ago we never heard from Satoshi again and for audio
- 4:48listeners is a screenshot of the Bitcoin talk forums and this is
- 4:53last active and it has the time. Absolutely crazy.
- 4:57I also wanted to react to this video and I want to get your
- 4:59guys thoughts. Shout out to our friends over a
- 5:01Bitcoin magazine and this is a clip from 94 and they were
- 5:06talking about the internet and sometimes you get lost in the
- 5:09sauce. You get, you know, the price
- 5:11distracts you and sometimes people forget to zoom out and I
- 5:15think it's really important to zoom out and I think that this
- 5:18video I think it's going to show why it's important to zoom out.
- 5:21Anyways, I'm going to shut up. Let's check out this video and
- 5:23then we'll talk about it. Imagine a world where every
- 5:27word, ever written every picture of a painting.
- 5:30Every film ever shot could be viewed instantly in your home,
- 5:34via an information, superhighway a high-capacity digital
- 5:38Communications Network, what that would mean is you could
- 5:42transform your home into a mammoth interactive
- 5:44entertainment center. With the odd Stock Exchange and
- 5:48shopping center thrown in. It sounds pretty Grand but it
- 5:52all comes down to computers communicating.
- 5:56And in fact, that's already happening on something called
- 5:58the internet that anyone in the world with a computer and a
- 6:01modem to connect it to a telephone line.
- 6:04Can subscribe to there are over 20 million people connected up.
- 6:08And one person in particular, I know is connected is the
- 6:11American President, Bill Clinton, and I know that because
- 6:15I use this computer to write to him today and I've already got a
- 6:18reply from the White House and here it is.
- 6:20Right? Thank you for writing to
- 6:22President Clinton via electronic mail.
- 6:24The president is committed. Knitted to integrating this
- 6:27Dynamic medium into the White House and it goes on to give
- 6:30some details of his government's policy, to encourage the
- 6:34building of information superhighways.
- 6:36Now, I can't electronically mail our prime minister John Major
- 6:40because he hasn't got a modem and I can't find out what his
- 6:44government policy on. Information superhighways is
- 6:47because it hasn't got one dude. What a freaking throwback.
- 6:52That's literally what I got to say about that.
- 6:54They're not They're not discussing anything crazy.
- 6:58They're discussing. It's like, do you have email or
- 7:01not? And now think about where you're
- 7:03watching this video right now. Right.
- 7:05You either watching on Twitter spaces, Rumble Bitcoin tv.
- 7:09YouTube, you're literally watching this video live through
- 7:13the internet and they're just talking about email, right,
- 7:17since 1994 roughly, 18 years later.
- 7:22Look at where we are today. Now, do you think And that 18
- 7:27years from the future. What do you think things are
- 7:29going to be like? And I think it's really hard for
- 7:31people to at least imagine or conceptualize, because they get
- 7:35lost in the sauce, right? You get distracted, right?
- 7:38You the the short time preference, I think is a bad
- 7:41thing, but I think the critical difference between then and now
- 7:46is that. Now it's not information.
- 7:48And look how much the government has fought on the
- 7:51disintermediation of information, right?
- 7:53You you saw from the B Administration, you saw the Of
- 7:55Truth each you saw them trying to in this was just released
- 7:59this isn't speculation anymore. Now, we have news based on the
- 8:03files that Elon released that the u.s. government was actively
- 8:07asking people at Twitter to censor certain types of
- 8:10information. Now, the next disintermediation
- 8:13that's coming is money, all right?
- 8:15And I think that's the Big Kahuna.
- 8:17So it's going to be really interesting times to, to live
- 8:20through, but I mean we do tell you in the very beginning of the
- 8:23show, right? We will be your guide through Do
- 8:25the separation of money and state and I think that's exactly
- 8:28what we're living through right now.
- 8:30Anyways, Joe, what are your thoughts on this?
- 8:31It's crazy was a British lady Pro.
- 8:34There's a British like, I picked out one for you.
- 8:37It always is they say the end of the world will be announced by a
- 8:41British RP accent as they say. I was generally like an
- 8:45expression we use but yeah British lady saying imagine a
- 8:48world. And here we are living in that
- 8:50world. So you know, it makes you feel a
- 8:52bit more confident about this Bitcoin future.
- 8:55Wait, can I just say, thanks for having me on sorry, but my
- 8:58internet connection issues. Clearly has been BT sessions
- 9:01says, I think the living in and a modem future.
- 9:04So apologies for that, shut up, the BTC sessions quote, Joe out
- 9:10there, sharing the world of Bitcoin on a 56k modem oh man,
- 9:15absolutely hilarious. But I do got to say Joe has
- 9:18phenomenal Acoustics today, okay?
- 9:20Because he's in a he's an acoustic treated room anyways.
- 9:24Opti. What are your thought man?
- 9:25Did that blow your the blow your mind, the way blue mine.
- 9:28Well first off that that clip was like.
- 9:31So cypherpunk is fuck man. You hear like the computers in
- 9:34the background it like the the lights and her just being you
- 9:38know, all British and stuff. But it's just it's really
- 9:43amazing seeing Clips like this about the internet.
- 9:55I'm already getting trolled in the chat so but we'll bring it
- 9:58up later. Anyways, it's amazing seeing
- 10:00Clips like this about the internet and it really kind of
- 10:04reminded me or rather like foreshadowed and idea of like
- 10:08this is what we're going to be looking like in the future is
- 10:12like people are going to get our videos and and see us trying to
- 10:16explain Bitcoin to people and it's just going to be like so
- 10:19outdated and vanilla. And and people will be like, how
- 10:23did no one ever get that Bitcoin was.
- 10:25Works and the profound things that Bitcoin will change about
- 10:28society. And look at these two three
- 10:31idiots trying to explain it as simply as possible to people so
- 10:35that they could understand. So that they could understand
- 10:40how, you know, profound this effect will be on society.
- 10:44And, and you know, it's funny when we look back at videos
- 10:48about the internet and, you know, there's that famous one
- 10:52where they're trying to explain, you know, like the fax Enter the
- 10:56internet and and it's like, people are just like food.
- 10:58What is the World Wide Web? Like what is going on?
- 11:01Like you like you just send messages across the world and
- 11:04it's like this is what we are doing here trying to explain to
- 11:08people about Bitcoin and it'll be looked on in the same way in
- 11:11the future and it's just like, I don't know, man.
- 11:13It's like looking in the mirror right now it's like, oh wow,
- 11:15this is going to be us and what 28 years, like it's just
- 11:19amazing. Like shouts out to them.
- 11:22It's not even that long, it's not Yeah, exactly.
- 11:26And 20 years we'll be looking back when it's 20 years is 20
- 11:29years and it's just it's amazing and it's back to that idea of
- 11:33like the gradually then suddenly you know it still seems like a
- 11:36far-off ways of Bitcoin changing everything about our society but
- 11:41you know that Bitcoin being adopted faster than the internet
- 11:44and here we are. It is 28 years and here we are
- 11:47on the front line. So we will be looked upon in the
- 11:50same way in a decade or so, a couple decades.
- 11:54Yeah, absolutely. I just want to give a Out to the
- 11:56comments. By the way, narwhal tacos using
- 11:59Usenet in the 90s was almost exactly as complicated as
- 12:02establishing channels on lightning today.
- 12:05Next one by Elaine says you guys.
- 12:08Probably don't remember pagers. I do Bitcoin, Becca.
- 12:13Y'all don't even remember, fax machines.
- 12:15I think some doctor's office so use that, right?
- 12:18Yeah, my mom is leaves, the facts, W back sell fake news,
- 12:24but yeah, man. Ali crazy, what a throwback.
- 12:26Anyways guys, lots of talk about during the news, we're going to
- 12:30talk about the block then being bought and paid for also some
- 12:35some news about Elon and sailor. Anyway, so check it out.
- 12:40The Daily News brought to you by block stream.

- 13:13Bitcoin. Alright, everybody, so lot to
- 13:17talk about, I thought this was interesting from my
- 13:21understanding, this is the first time Elon Musk Michael sailor,
- 13:25basically interact with each other.
- 13:27So elon's we did that. Tweeter Tweeter, ha Twitter will
- 13:30soon start freeing the namespace of 1.5 billion dollar 1.5
- 13:35billion accounts. Also to note, it's really
- 13:38important. Also, that there is some
- 13:40accounts that are historic, right?
- 13:42And one of them being how often he's right, how often he's, you
- 13:46know, famous tweet, right? Running Bitcoin, the think it
- 13:49was from 2009 or 2010, right? Absolutely historic.
- 13:53You don't want that to go away. There's a change.org petition
- 13:57already has two hundred and two hundred 237 signatures.
- 14:01I think we can easily get that to 500.
- 14:03We don't want house, you know? We don't want house, Twitter
- 14:06account being deleted, right? This is a legendary figure in
- 14:11Bitcoin historic figure. All right.
- 14:12That being said, I also don't think that they're going to be
- 14:15willy-nilly about it like that but anyways, it's better better,
- 14:18play it safe. So Michael sailor respond to you
- 14:20on said, Twitter, can add enormous value to the World by
- 14:23organizing the flows of News and Views of billions of people and
- 14:26millions of organizations worldwide via branded account
- 14:28supporting natural name. Logical classifications
- 14:32trustworthy, verifications convert noise to signal.
- 14:36And Elon replies to sealer. He says, the general principle
- 14:39of improving signal to noise is incredibly important.
- 14:42Now, it's really interesting like this whole thing that's
- 14:45playing out, right? You know, we now know based on
- 14:48the files that Ilan has been releasing.
- 14:50You know, via these, these other journalists like Matt Taibbi.
- 14:54Is that a lot of the censorship which is extremely alarming
- 14:58because these people also want you to trust them with Central
- 15:01Bank, digital currencies. So we know for a fact now that
- 15:05Three-letter agencies influenced or pushed Twitter to censor
- 15:10certain popular political figures.
- 15:14And now these are the same people that are like, yo trust
- 15:16us with Central Bank, digital currencies are not going to use
- 15:19that against you. That that is as a crazy warning.
- 15:22I actually tweeted that out on on.
- 15:24I think it was this Friday, says, imagine what they would do
- 15:26with CBD Seasons, when I say Bitcoin or slavery and I really
- 15:30fundamentally agree with that. Now, what's really interesting?
- 15:32And I said this in the very beginning, I think if he'll on
- 15:36wants to do what he originally did for PayPal, was a PayPal's
- 15:40original Mission was to facilitate payments all around
- 15:43the world, make it easy, but inevitably it was co-opted
- 15:47because it's a centralized, it's a company, right?
- 15:49Is very easy to go in their influence, a rules, change it
- 15:53and now, PayPal's this Frankenstein of a company.
- 15:57Now, they're saying, hey, if you flat out certain misinformation
- 16:00that we disagree with, we're going to find you 2,500 dollars.
- 16:02When people found out, they walked it back and then they
- 16:05they They when no one was looking, they secretly snuck it
- 16:07back in again. So like this is crazy.
- 16:10Right. So but I think you know and he
- 16:12said this and then this is the uh the very famous spaces that
- 16:16Elon did. There's 100,000 people in this
- 16:18space has, it was historic, right?
- 16:20100,000 people that have direct access without going through a
- 16:24media Source, right? You literally have Elon Musk on
- 16:26stage being asked questions in real time, right?
- 16:29Very interesting. And then I'm going to tie this
- 16:31in with the video that we saw in the very beginning.
- 16:33Could you have ever imagined that in 94.
- 16:36Absolutely not right. Anyways, goes on to say.
- 16:38These are some of the quotes that he said in space is says,
- 16:41quote PayPal seems to be moving in the direction of social
- 16:43credit and censorship. That's disturbing, quote, worse,
- 16:47the Fiat system becomes the more, the worst the Fiat system
- 16:50becomes, the more cryptocurrencies will grow and I
- 16:53think this is where Elon is at stage one, right?
- 16:57I think that he's in 2017, mindset of its cryptos, it's
- 17:02whatever. Which one you you, you know, you
- 17:05You want to use what bitcoiners believe is that it was
- 17:08inevitable for Fiat systems to become this way.
- 17:12Just like it's inevitable for cryptocurrencies because they're
- 17:15centralized to become like the Fiat system.
- 17:18Right? V special part of Bitcoin is
- 17:21that we have successfully figured out how to separate the
- 17:25monetary policy out of the hands of human beings.
- 17:29The that in itself is innovation like that actually changes
- 17:33everything as long as Have Central planners because that's
- 17:37really what they are, right saying.
- 17:38No, you know, I could, I could figure this out.
- 17:40I can make the tweaks, what tends to happen is you could
- 17:43see, you can make the argument and the beginning, you know, the
- 17:45system could work but over time that system becomes corrupted,
- 17:49right? That's what, that's how we're we
- 17:50are where we are today, right? Anyways, it he goes on to say,
- 17:53quote, it's a no-brainer for Twitter to have payments in both
- 17:57Fiat and crypto. So I mean, I think elon's
- 18:00coming, I think he's ilan's definitely coming along.
- 18:04I think this is definitely. The historic, whether it's the
- 18:07disintermediation of information.
- 18:09People talking directly peer to peer directly to each other
- 18:12Ilan, finally responding to sailor, right.
- 18:15I wish it was a Bitcoin tweet, you know, that have a lot of
- 18:19signal in it. If it was a Bitcoin tweet, but I
- 18:21think it's a first step and I think elon's going to eventually
- 18:23figure out if you do want to adopt a payments platform has to
- 18:29be a plamen payments platform that can't be co-opted and it
- 18:32can't be censored. And I think the only one that's
- 18:35able to Provide. That is Bitcoin, right?
- 18:37The second biggest, most popular cryptocurrency is etherium.
- 18:41We known we now know that over sixty to seventy percent of
- 18:44etherium. Validators are actively
- 18:46censoring for the office of foreign assets control, why?
- 18:49Because it's centralized, right? So you, you want that
- 18:52decentralization is absolutely necessary.
- 18:55If you do want to separate money from State, anyways, Joe, what
- 18:58are your thoughts on all this? That was a lot of information,
- 19:01amazing. I mean, first, I just want to
- 19:03address Opti skin care routine. Is that seems to be the main
- 19:06talking point, right now, at least in the chat.
- 19:09I'm half. Joking, there.
- 19:10Please tell me what creams you use.
- 19:11I'm also getting older in my Millennium, millennial
- 19:15generation. The other thing regarding, Elon
- 19:17Musk. Yeah, I mean, the first thing I
- 19:18sort of picked up on, was yet? Twitter spaces.
- 19:20Are insane. Aren't they only realized this
- 19:22within the past hour of six months, I should have realized?
- 19:24Earlier, you can literally ask direct questions to people like
- 19:27Elon Musk. Or sandbank manfried was seeing
- 19:29that more and more in terms of elon's Bitcoin journey, I have
- 19:33another theory. I Look that Elon might actually
- 19:36be a Bitcoin, a maxi. I think he might actually
- 19:39already get it, but he knows that if he was to go full send
- 19:42on his Bitcoin Journey, this is just a complete wild.
- 19:45Silly Theory, by the way, this is just me thinking out loud,
- 19:48but I think that he might actually get it, but he knows
- 19:51that if he shows that he gets it, then it's pretty much game
- 19:54over for the rest of the world to, you know, buy Bitcoin order
- 19:58or get on board. Because, you know, he's the
- 20:00world's wealthiest person he owns, you know, some of the
- 20:02wealthiest companies, Is he trying to do what he initially
- 20:06set out to do with PayPal? I don't really know.
- 20:08I don't know if of his backstory and yeah, those other things
- 20:12that you picked up on, which I really should have taken notes
- 20:13about our something about journalists and yet journalism
- 20:16sucks big. So actually I'm glad that you
- 20:22are glad that you are because I would have forgot to know just
- 20:25this basically like this this like this historic moment that
- 20:29we're living through which is like the Legacy institutions are
- 20:33losing their Credibility. And they're also being
- 20:35disintermediated right now. You can have it individual and
- 20:39if that individual provides value, right?
- 20:41He can have a huge following without needing an intermediate
- 20:45without needing an institution in order to make that happen,
- 20:48right? So it's like the rise of this
- 20:50citizen individual journalism that I think is going to change
- 20:53the game specifically because the these large institutions,
- 20:57like the ones that are decades old that people are used to
- 20:59getting their news from which our CNN ABC, NBC Sports Live in
- 21:02the United States, you can Tell that they've been co-opted by
- 21:05special interest worse versus an individual.
- 21:09He could tell the truth. That's okay.
- 21:11You know, yeah, well, you type say, right?
- 21:14But I still think that there are certain people who even though
- 21:16they have a platform and they can speak the truth and they are
- 21:19bitcoiners and I'm not pointing fingers here, but they still
- 21:23don't quite tell the truth. Although tell the truth knowing
- 21:25that they have this platform, they have to say things in a
- 21:27certain way so I think it's still upon the reader or the
- 21:31person Jazz gesturing, digesting the news or the headlines.
- 21:34Needs to make up their own opinions.
- 21:36But yeah, when it comes to these media platforms.
- 21:39Yeah. Most of them are compromised or
- 21:41just completely completely fucking wrong, you know?
- 21:43I mean we've seen this real be SPF headlines recently which
- 21:46have I mean 99% of mainstream media reporting has been
- 21:50inaccurate or just playing like blowing up his ass and that's
- 21:54just completely despicable. When you think about the scale
- 21:57of the fraud that this man has committed, there's been a few
- 21:59crypto Outlets. I say crypto here, you know,
- 22:01because it's shit corny stuff. They have been more accurate in
- 22:06their reporting but then it comes out that you know the
- 22:08block was secretly or the blocks, former CEO was funded by
- 22:13SPF. So yeah, I think there's a real
- 22:15strong case here for Bitcoin, opening up more to the personal
- 22:19Platforms in which we can verify more easily the source of
- 22:22information. But there's still that implicit
- 22:24level of trust with the news. And we still have to be able to
- 22:27think critically. And the amazing thing for that
- 22:30is that Bitcoin also helps that, right?
- 22:31Because I don't know about you guys, but throughout my big One
- 22:34Journey, it's made me question almost everything which is quite
- 22:37terrifying, but it's also quite rewarding because you approach
- 22:40everything in this new light and sort of new sort of Bitcoin
- 22:42friendly lights. And yeah, I think that you
- 22:44become, if you don't become better at critical thinking you
- 22:47definitely do it more frequently and that's also something that
- 22:50we would need in this hyper Bitcoin eyes door, you know,
- 22:54World in which we don't have to trust.
- 22:56These big institutions in outlets for our daily dose of
- 22:58propaganda. Yeah.
- 23:00And and I think you really hit the nail on the head and that's
- 23:03something that we're Is me Joe as well, right?
- 23:06Which is this concept that in the Fiat world, people have
- 23:10outsourced that personal responsibility, whether it's the
- 23:13storage of their wealth, you know.
- 23:14They keep their money in the bank and they keep their money
- 23:17on Exchange and they don't learn how to take self custody or
- 23:20whether it's Outsourcing information, right?
- 23:23The seeking of information. So people tend to put a lot of
- 23:26trust in these institutions without exactly what you said
- 23:28without thinking. Critically.
- 23:30Now the big question is is this going to change, right?
- 23:34They are is Humanity going to take this next step, where
- 23:37individuals, take back, that personal responsibility, rather
- 23:40than Outsourcing it to exchanges.
- 23:42Banks, governments, Etc. Huge.
- 23:46I mean, how can we unlearn all that?
- 23:49We've learned? How can we uncondition ourselves
- 23:51from this conditioning? We've been brought up in
- 23:53particularly Our Generation, you know, we were brought up on the
- 23:56cusp of the internet coming through and the internet as a
- 23:59satisfactorily shaped a lot of ideas and the propaganda we
- 24:03citrusy The internet, when I say the word propaganda, you
- 24:06Schilling. That thing, you're drinking
- 24:07their of the people. Settlers in beer.
- 24:10I'm drinking sparkling water. It does look like they let him
- 24:13trust. I wasn't gonna have them trust.
- 24:15I was verifying good man. Hell yeah.
- 24:19Auntie what are your thoughts bro?
- 24:21What are your thoughts? Well, first and foremost I
- 24:24really really enjoyed Jose conspiracy theory on Ilan.
- 24:27I would love for that to be true.
- 24:29Sounds sounds awesome. Second point is, I really do
- 24:33hope that That on this Twitter cleanse that Ilan has been
- 24:37talking about that house. Twitter account, definitely
- 24:40survives. I think this is something as
- 24:42bitcoiners that we don't know. I mean, I'm not really big on
- 24:45like, you know, petitions and all that but like you know,
- 24:48someone getting his ear, make sure that house account stays on
- 24:51Twitter. That would be a shame if it get
- 24:52nuked button on that babe and maybe some dope Twitter ads are
- 24:57going to open up and we can, you know, we can claim some of
- 25:00those. Some of those Twitter act, wink,
- 25:02wink mica. Is, you know me, I've been very
- 25:06skeptical about Elon on this pain, this platform in private
- 25:10and publicly. And but also it seems like he
- 25:14has been putting his hat in the ring and, you know, fighting for
- 25:18free speech and it's hard for me to comment on someone that is
- 25:21that successful. So like I'm just trying to watch
- 25:24it in real time and see what happens and to your guys's
- 25:27point. I think this is another
- 25:30Testament to the idea that we've been talking about on the show
- 25:32for a long time, a running theme And the importance of Bitcoin,
- 25:36only journalism and why, you know, we do what we do.
- 25:39Why Joe does what he does and that more people need to put
- 25:43their hat in the ring and more people need to take that stand
- 25:46for truth and for Bitcoin and for just spreading spreading the
- 25:52facts out there and doing it in ways.
- 25:54So that people do find it do, find it interesting and do
- 25:58digested and spread it farther. So you know, we've seen a lot of
- 26:01examples of Bad journalism this year.
- 26:06We've seen it from Legacy Media. We've seen it from shit, coin
- 26:09platforms, and we just tried to show up every single day and do
- 26:13our job so that people get that message and get that signal out
- 26:17there. And I think it is going to
- 26:19become like an Uber important aspect of our modern society is
- 26:24what we've been saying. All the time, these independent
- 26:26journalists continuing to spread the truth continue to quote
- 26:30unquote, be conspiracy theorists in the face of all the hay and
- 26:33you know Speak truth to power. And and you know, speak truth at
- 26:37the at the cost of our personal physical and financial
- 26:42well-being. So we're just showing up every
- 26:43single day to be you know just Frontline soldiers that we all
- 26:48are. So everyone out there, continue
- 26:49to meme continue to spread the truth.
- 26:51Continue to try to orange pill your friends and family.
- 26:54So that the truth can be spoken about publicly again because
- 26:58obviously the powers that be are afraid of the truth.
- 27:01And the only thing they have going for them is the Truth
- 27:04right now. So we have exploded this now,
- 27:07and we will continue to, you know, do our part and put our
- 27:11hat in the ring. First free speech.
- 27:13So, amen. Amen to that.
- 27:16Amen to that. All right everybody, we have
- 27:17time. We have a little we have weight
- 27:19to your point, the secret skincare routine.
- 27:23I found it on a social media was on Instagram.
- 27:26It is wash your fret for your face with Head and Shoulders.
- 27:29Okay? Okay it's been working, I don't
- 27:31know. Opti skincare.
- 27:32Ten for ten? All right, everybody.
- 27:35We have enough time to cover this and I'm really curious to
- 27:39to find out. I'm really excited to find out
- 27:41what Joe thinks about this as well because he is a journalist
- 27:45in the industry. So this is an a report by or an
- 27:48article by axios is exclusive s. BF secretly funded crypto, new
- 27:53site goes on to say the block. A media company that says it
- 27:56covers crypto news independently.
- 27:58I think that's the key word there.
- 27:59It says it covers Krypton use independently as been secretly
- 28:02funded for over a year with money fun.
- 28:04Old to the block CEO from a, from the disgrace and Bank
- 28:07manfred's crypto, currency trading form sources, toad
- 28:10axios, why it matters obviously the payments which employs of
- 28:15the block were previously unaware of could undermine the
- 28:18news company's credibility, no shit.
- 28:20But I mean, I'll say this though, I really believe that
- 28:24the Legacy Media is the same thing.
- 28:27The same things are happening, right?
- 28:30Goes on to say driving the news McAfee has resigned as CEO.
- 28:34And is leaving the company, the blocks Chief Revenue officer,
- 28:37Bobby Moran. I'm not related confirm to axios
- 28:40on Friday, Mac. Mac Rafi is also stepping down
- 28:44from its board. So I mean, like, why would they
- 28:46be stepping down? If there isn't something to, you
- 28:49know, to to hide or to be shameful of?
- 28:52I think. That's interesting.
- 28:54Joe, what are your thoughts on this?
- 28:55Is it surprising to you? No, in a word.
- 28:59No. I mean, let's be honest here.
- 29:02All of these crypto shit coin Publications.
- 29:05They are there to make money and the way in which they initially
- 29:08made money was through, you know, monetizing information and
- 29:11news. But they've realized that
- 29:13they're even more lucrative ways to make money.
- 29:15And clearly the, the disgrace CEO McCaffrey has realized that
- 29:18the best way to make money is just a talk to CEOs of big
- 29:22formerly, successful exchanges, and say, hey can you please buy
- 29:27my yacht? I was at his house.
- 29:28I forget, I think part funded the purchase of a home.
- 29:31So, yes, it is true that I think a lot of media's, by the way,
- 29:35have misreported. This have said that the SPF is
- 29:37directly funding, the block, which isn't true because, you
- 29:40know, say I was an employee at the Block right now.
- 29:42I would feel really like fuck, you know, I'm representing this
- 29:46awful corrupt institution, you know, I had no knowledge of it.
- 29:49But in reality what's well, what appears to happen have happened
- 29:53is that Caffrey has struck a deal with SPF.
- 29:56To pay for his house and with that influence these effectively
- 30:01bought proving that the block isn't an independent media
- 30:05Outlet. He's then sort of influence the
- 30:07editor-in-chief or influence, whatever content they put out
- 30:11related to SPF or FTX. And it also might mean that
- 30:15McCaffrey was on SPF speed dial. So, you know, whenever there's a
- 30:18story about SPF, whereas, you know, SPF opens up a new office
- 30:22in Bahamas, or sent kits, or whatever it may be, they will
- 30:25then quote, the Lock on it so it'll be like a you scratch my
- 30:27back. I scratch yours sort of thing
- 30:29and I'm sure this happens at other outlets and won't be the
- 30:31first one. And I don't know maybe because
- 30:33magazine has similar things in place, you know, it's not just
- 30:36because it's a crypto or a shit coin outlet that it's, you know,
- 30:40potentially to be controlled or corrupted or all of these are
- 30:43potentially. And it again just comes back to
- 30:45what we talked about earlier. Think critically, don't trust
- 30:47verify and will this be the first of many to be revealed as
- 30:51being you know, corrupt or controlled probably?
- 30:54I mean, we can help as much. That would expel all of these
- 30:58poor practices from the journalism sort of sector.
- 31:02I mean, let's be honest. A lot of Journalism and crypto
- 31:04isn't really journalism, it's just content, Creation with a
- 31:06flavor. So there's also that part that
- 31:09is worth worth looking into. Yeah, if I was at the Block
- 31:12right now, I'd be quite I feel quite like embarrassed in a bit
- 31:15like, oh God, should I really be representing this organization
- 31:18anymore because even though you might be going out of the block,
- 31:21you're a Bitcoin at a ship going.
- 31:22Publication that clearly has a CEO who's allergic.
- 31:26Take two Scruples. So yeah, that's my little take
- 31:29on it. Interesting.
- 31:30Artie. What are your thoughts on this
- 31:32Pro? You've been killing it lately.
- 31:33Yeah. Well, you know Cece and now it's
- 31:40good, bro. We I am, I'm the light-hearted
- 31:43one, so like I'll joke for you. So well last week we dunked on
- 31:51coin desk as well. And now we're dumping on the
- 31:54Block and You know, there's a running meme on Twitter of like
- 31:58the infamous Circle jerkers and the you scratch my back.
- 32:01I scratch yours meme going around.
- 32:04And now this one just like completely blows up in
- 32:07everyone's face and this is like a very Fiat Legacy Media by.
- 32:10I've seen coming from the Block and from SPF and stuff and so
- 32:14obviously Nico and I aren't surprised and others.
- 32:18Joe, you know, this is something that I think we've probably been
- 32:21covering on the show for a while.
- 32:23Now the like what Joe said, you know, the Chicago.
- 32:26Journalism is just content creation with a with a flare and
- 32:30Anika said it best last week where he said, like if these
- 32:33shit coin journalist sites were very true were actually truthful
- 32:36about Bitcoin. Then they would expose the scams
- 32:39and it would expose, you know, the, the lack of substance that
- 32:44their journalism actually is. And so, I mean, I think it's
- 32:47just another another data point for this year, being a blessing
- 32:52in disguise, you know, we got the great Exodus from Shit coin,
- 32:56exchanges to South custody and now we are going to soon.
- 33:01See people move away from shit. Coin journalism sites on to
- 33:05bitcoin only content creators. So I think there's going to be a
- 33:09lot of Silver. Linings through all the pain and
- 33:12you know, people like us will start to see more people
- 33:14following the truth and the signal and this is why we do.
- 33:17What we do is guys like we are bitcoiners first and foremost
- 33:21and this is what we try to push is the truth and the facts about
- 33:25what's going. On in this space and everyone is
- 33:27just trying to steal your Bitcoin.
- 33:29And so that's why we tell you guys to stay humble Stacks at
- 33:33stake your Bitcoin into self custody because everyone else is
- 33:36trying to scam you. So absolutely and mopped is
- 33:39getting really good at this. Anyways everybody, let's get to
- 33:42the culture, let's check it out. The daily culture brought to you
- 33:48by Swan Bitcoin.com. Swan is the best way to build

- 34:11Alright, everybody before I gotta stop making optic, me
- 34:14fullscreen. The before we get to the
- 34:17culture, I want to give a shout-out to A true Bitcoin
- 34:21conference network with bitcoiners in Austin, Texas,
- 34:23August 24th, 25th 26th, 27th and 2023.
- 34:27I'm talking about Big Block, boom, of course it's not a shit
- 34:30coin of event. It's not an N of t or blockchain
- 34:33event. It's a Bitcoin event.
- 34:34They talk about Bitcoin Bitcoin and more Bitcoin.
- 34:37Any to give it, take advantage of the promo code all caps,
- 34:40simply Bitcoin to get a big discount to the bit block, boom
- 34:44conference. Well, Nico, I am pivoting live
- 34:48right now. So, So we have Joe here.
- 34:51I did do a bit, guys. Like I said in the beginning, I
- 34:54didn't know Joe is coming on. Nico needs to get me in the loop
- 34:56on when our guests are showing up, right?
- 35:00Yeah, exactly. So anyways, I'll do my bit
- 35:03tomorrow. We'll cover the the first page
- 35:06of economics in one lesson tomorrow, but I think it would
- 35:10be, you know, a missed opportunity if we didn't jump in
- 35:13on this whole Bitcoin journalism.
- 35:15Truly know that the importance of being a journalist or rather,
- 35:18you know. Bringing back true journalism
- 35:21and so I think let's just let's just jump in.
- 35:25You, you hit us in the chat over here and you said you had
- 35:28another Point. Ari shit, coin media,
- 35:30Publications and funding. So let's just jump in there and
- 35:33then we'll we'll use that as a jump-off point and then we'll
- 35:37move into the memes. Thanks mate.
- 35:40No, I appreciate it. And I just thought, yeah, why
- 35:41not? If I've got this platform maybe
- 35:43discuss this that maybe some bitcoiners have been questioning
- 35:46about anyway, but as I'm sure you've seen a lot of the A coin
- 35:50Publications have been chopping heads during the bear market,
- 35:53and they failed to sort of manage their budgets or the
- 35:56treasuries effectively, and we've even seen at lots of
- 35:59Bitcoin companies right there. The bear markets, been brutal,
- 36:03and that's really unfortunate, so, it makes it sort of begs the
- 36:05question, okay? What was the funding for the
- 36:08block for and given the fact that it was directly for the
- 36:11CEOs house? It makes me a lot less
- 36:14charitable charitable towards him and is why understanding of
- 36:16the matter because had it been going straight into the block
- 36:19you. Saving jobs or whatever.
- 36:21Then maybe it would have been a bit more justifiable but you
- 36:26know, there's been a lot of I'm a bit quieter, for example, and
- 36:29I only write about Bitcoin. I only write about crypto when
- 36:32it's in the interest of Bitcoin and I'm very grateful that coin
- 36:34Telegraph allows me to do that whilst.
- 36:36I also, you know, that Queen Telegraph promotes all sorts of
- 36:39shipments Under the Sun and is not the go-to place to get your
- 36:43you know, fire Bitcoin reporting for that obviously recommend
- 36:46simply simply Bitcoin or Bitcoin magazine or individual people.
- 36:49Ooh, but it's that thing of. How do I get paid?
- 36:52How do I, you know, I'm a relatively late, Bitcoin.
- 36:55ER, how do I sort of contribute to the space in a way that's
- 36:57effective and truthful and you know, how can I keep do that
- 37:01sustainably? So like able to pay my rent, my
- 37:04food, and also stack some SATs at the end of the month.
- 37:06And you know, when I approach the situation a year and a half
- 37:09ago, when I was working for Bloomberg.
- 37:10So like, you know, I've got prior Germans and mainstream
- 37:13media journalism skills, which a lot of people don't have in this
- 37:15space as well, because a lot of people just come to crypto and
- 37:17think, oh, this is great. I can go.
- 37:19Zero to a million very quickly. So yeah there's that is to say
- 37:24that there's a lot of shitty journalism in the space as well.
- 37:26So people that don't check primary sources, people that
- 37:28don't call up data checks, or whatever it may be.
- 37:32And see, I was faced with this Choice year and a half ago.
- 37:35And I was like okay well I can go to a Bitcoin magazine where I
- 37:37can preach to the choir preach to the converted and talk about
- 37:40you know how amazing Bitcoin is all the time.
- 37:42Or I can try to preach to shit corners and try to sort of alert
- 37:46them to how much amazing stuff there is going on in the Bitcoin
- 37:48space. I mean, just today, I
- 37:50interviewed a guy who's implanted a lightning chip into
- 37:53his hand here but I don't know if you know this guy but you
- 37:55should probably get on the show at some point.
- 37:56He's hilarious. Felix fright or Felix's?
- 37:59Name is from Switzerland and yeah he's put a microchip in his
- 38:04hand to pay for things NFC. And yeah, I met him in
- 38:07Switzerland when I was quite drunk and I was just like what
- 38:10the fuck is going on here. But there's so many cool stories
- 38:13from bitcoiners all around the world who are just as passionate
- 38:16just as mad as you or I am. And if amazing In the voice but
- 38:20we can't fit them all in on, you know, a Bitcoin magazine or a
- 38:23simply Bitcoin. So yeah, that there's definitely
- 38:25need to have Bitcoin of voices in every sort of media outlet.
- 38:28And that's also why I like next year, you might get annoyed at
- 38:31me because I'm representing coin Telegraph, electric coin
- 38:34conferences. But I'm going there with a
- 38:36Bitcoin, you know, speech or Bitcoin ideas, ready?
- 38:40I'm not going to shit coin or anything.
- 38:42And I think that, you know, we've got a real opportunity
- 38:44there to address the the shit coronary and help.
- 38:49People understand that, you know shit coin is just Fiat 2.0 and
- 38:52Bitcoin is the remedy to that. So yeah, that's my little, my
- 38:55little skit. Thank you very much for bringing
- 38:57it back to me there. No worries, bro.
- 38:58I love it because I mean Nico and I, obviously we are a
- 39:02Bitcoin only platform and we will keep it that way, but we've
- 39:07noticed one thing as well throughout this whole journey as
- 39:10simply Bitcoin is a lot of Bitcoin companies, they have one
- 39:14issue and it's that they are Bitcoin companies preaching to
- 39:17the choir and if Are going to expand this, you know, Bitcoin
- 39:22Revolution. Like we say, all the time, we
- 39:24are going to have to expand outside of our little Echo
- 39:27Chambers on bitcoin, Twitter, and try to do our best to reach
- 39:31that mainstream audience. And so, you know, I'd love
- 39:34hearing, I loved hearing your perspective because I know
- 39:37you've been getting a lot of shit if not, you get a lot of
- 39:39shit about it so much, even though every come on, let's see
- 39:44every clip. I see you're just like, you
- 39:47know, just giving that pure saw. So I do have a question in
- 39:50regards to that like how has it been trying to change a shit
- 39:54coin publication on the inside by being a freaking adamant
- 39:58Bitcoin enrollment? I mean I mean canute's fun.
- 40:03Home was like, oh, you're like the Trojan Horse Quinn Telegraph
- 40:07and that's like massively blowing my own trumpet here.
- 40:09I'm just a reporter that likes to write about Bitcoin
- 40:12constantly but within the first three months people were like,
- 40:15oh can you write about this thing?
- 40:16I was like nah it doesn't interest me or you know, I'm not
- 40:19I'm not I don't care about that as much and eventually like six
- 40:23months in there like okay this guy really isn't going to write
- 40:25about a theory and you know merge or whatever it be maybe or
- 40:28if you're right about the theory emerge he'll be like oh etherium
- 40:31is more liable to capture because of the merge because,
- 40:33you know, proof of stake means that as we've seen the ofac
- 40:36compliance has gone through the roof and then, you know, nine
- 40:39months in people are, okay. He's just going to write about
- 40:41Bitcoin only and they've given me the freedom to do that and
- 40:44that's absolutely fantastic. You know, that they haven't
- 40:46given me a brief. Any point in said, you need to
- 40:48write this about this shit coin. The publication, and a lot of
- 40:50people think that that's how journalism Outlets work and that
- 40:53didn't work at Bloomberg. That didn't work and focus
- 40:55reports and other, then that didn't work here as a
- 40:58journalist, your job is to find the news, you know, find stories
- 41:00pitch, the news right up and then see about with your editor,
- 41:04you know, which way you want to angle it and what flies and you
- 41:07go from there. There's no sort of well, in
- 41:10every company I've worked for, there's never been a top-down
- 41:12sort of. You must write this about the
- 41:14news, there's just, you know, certain second chamber, Echo
- 41:17chambers, that you find yourself, then it gets churned
- 41:19out. That way I've completely
- 41:21forgotten what the question was, but it's towards the end of my
- 41:23work, then I know. But that was still, that was
- 41:26still a good signal there, man. I think the last question I mean
- 41:30he could talk about this all the time Anika you might have
- 41:32another question but it's to the idea of the importance of
- 41:38independent alternative, you know, media sources and
- 41:42journalists. And you know, it's just kudos to
- 41:45you to being Like a true journalist Pro like like being
- 41:51right about the ethos and being like, look, I want to speak
- 41:54about these things that intrigued me and I want to do
- 41:57the best I can to cover that. And I think that this is what a
- 42:00lot more people need to do Nico calls them, the citizen
- 42:02journalists out there and, you know, that's what we try to do
- 42:05here. I'm simply Bitcoin.
- 42:07So, you know, first of all, kudos to you, and then also,
- 42:09like, what's your thoughts on this whole idea of how bad
- 42:12Legacy Media journalism is and maybe why you do what you do.
- 42:17It's good. Say that it's been way too kind
- 42:19to my head's, not going to fit through this tiny vocal booth as
- 42:22I leave it in my, you guys been inflated so much first, real, a
- 42:25Bitcoin, stay humble, second stack SATs and I will continue
- 42:29to stay humble but thank you for the kind words and what do I
- 42:33think of what do you say? Shit?
- 42:34Coin media, it with regards to just Legacy Media.
- 42:37In general, I mean Legacy Media is fucked that there's no they
- 42:41can't keep up and, you know, I speak to.
- 42:44So I spent a lot of time trying to network into the financial
- 42:46times and the BBC The UK because, you know, I'm not going
- 42:49to get anywhere with us Publications.
- 42:52And, you know, the reason why the media problem panel that
- 42:56happened in Amsterdam with the sort of famous like, like, like,
- 42:58like like meme bit that came out of it was, it was quite popular
- 43:02in July, or August in this space.
- 43:04Well, the reason why that happened was because I was
- 43:05trying to get more Bitcoin content into the financial
- 43:07times. So, I went there a few times and
- 43:10those amazing offices in the center of London, beautiful
- 43:14views from their sort of, they've got like a Sky Lounge
- 43:17area. So, I was meeting with them
- 43:18there with a few times been, like, yo, this Bitcoin thing.
- 43:20Like, I think, maybe we could, you know, angle a few things,
- 43:23maybe talk about remittance into Africa, and maybe talk about it
- 43:25as a tool for censorship resistance, this sort of thing.
- 43:29And the deal was okay. You come to this Bitcoin,
- 43:32Amsterdam conference and we'll get some nice content onto the
- 43:37platform. And the idea was that she was
- 43:39going to report on her experience a bit going
- 43:41Amsterdam. As I'm sure you know, what
- 43:44happened afterwards was a car crash in which The financial
- 43:48times didn't come across very well.
- 43:50And I mean that that's no fault of my own.
- 43:52I did not look to dunk on her and I was looking to have a
- 43:54really good conversation and we all on stage that the atmosphere
- 43:58was very cordial beforehand, but that was sort of like, the
- 44:01implicit deal didn't play out like that and I was like, crap.
- 44:04So I went to the BBC instead and was, you know, talking to the
- 44:07guy that did a report on Bitcoin mining in Kazakhstan.
- 44:10I was like yo, bro, you focus on like the nastiest shittiest area
- 44:14of Bitcoin mining when there's like three million things which
- 44:17are going on in the Bitcoin Mining space which you could
- 44:19have talked about why did he only talked about that?
- 44:21Like what is the angle there? And was like oh no.
- 44:22By also talked a little bit about solar panels in Kazakhstan
- 44:25as like that's not unbiased reporting.
- 44:27That's like completely loaded bollocks targeted at Bitcoin
- 44:31mining. And so again I tried to do that
- 44:33and we had a couple of Zoom calls and then he's just
- 44:35ghosted. Me and so you know, I'm trying
- 44:37to go into the more mainstream Publications, but the more you
- 44:40get knocked back, the more you realize, what is going on here?
- 44:43Why is it that people that were, like me couple years ago, aren't
- 44:47willing or able? Balls talk about Bitcoin in a
- 44:50sort of just a curious. I'm not even asking for them to
- 44:52like, get orange peeled by next week.
- 44:54I just wanted to be like, okay, that's interesting and, you
- 44:56know, I can summon him SATs and they see how that works.
- 44:58And, you know, the usual way, we were injured.
- 44:59Kill someone. Yeah.
- 45:01So it's just, it's just frustrating.
- 45:03Hence, why I think mainstream media is on the way out, because
- 45:05Bitcoin is inevitable and they aren't, we are winning.
- 45:10We're winning anyways. After you it's time for, let me
- 45:14move you. Let's do it.
- 45:18The daily meme review brought to you by Kaboom racks.
- 45:22I get this question all the time.
- 45:23Nico. Where should I buy Bitcoin
- 45:25miners. The answer is Kaboom racks.
- 45:27It's the best place to buy Bitcoin miners.
- 45:30That's where you're going to find the best deals and the best
- 45:32prices start. Your mining Utopia today to

- 45:42mining Journey today. Kaboom racks.
- 45:44Alright guys, so so I'm going to tie this up with what we were
- 45:48talking about during the news, right?
- 45:50We are not only living through the disintermediation of money
- 45:53but also of information, right? And we always start this segment
- 45:56with if tweets, are the bullets memes are artillery.
- 46:01It sounds like other. People are either watching
- 46:04simply Bitcoin or other people are also kind of picking up on
- 46:08this. And without a doubt, we are in
- 46:10an information War. This is narrative, trench
- 46:13warfare. It's a battle over hearts and
- 46:15minds and And this is crazy, because this is exactly what
- 46:18Jack Pacific said in. I think it was a conference over
- 46:22the weekend or something. Anyways, to check it out.
- 46:24And then we'll get to the meme review, but I do believe that
- 46:26this is 100%, this is why Bitcoin memes are important.
- 46:30So I'd like to share with you gentlemen.
- 46:41Miravalle, we're in a new type of War.
- 46:46I didn't generational conflict. This is not a conflict.
- 46:51God directly on the field of battle.
- 46:55This is not a conflict that this is a generational conflict that
- 47:08is taught in the hearts. That is Flooding in the mind and
- 47:12is fought in the soul on a spiritual level.
- 47:17This is spiritual warfare. It is mental Warfare, and is
- 47:20information Warfare. This is what we're in this war
- 47:25is fought on tiny little screens like this every single day.
- 47:30But the Fight Continues because today for fair, is not the
- 47:34Warfare with sword and shield. It is the Warfare of tweets and
- 47:40me. It is the Warfare of weird.
- 47:43It is the Warfare of narratives, I just want to give us credit
- 47:47because we we did tell you that we did tell you that first.
- 47:51Anyways, Opti what did you think of that video?
- 47:55Bro we did tell you we've been telling you that for quite a
- 47:58quite a long time now. Yeah, exactly.
- 48:01You put that you put that clip in in our show notes and I
- 48:05watched it this morning and and like no joke, I was getting
- 48:08Goosebumps and I was like, holy like me.
- 48:10Has been saying that for a minute, like we've been saying
- 48:13that for, I don't know, as long as I've been on the show.
- 48:16You know, the meme that Nico always has is like, we are in a
- 48:19war for the hearts and minds of the masses.
- 48:21Hence, why? I think what Joe is doing is one
- 48:25of those key pieces of like guys, we need to try to expand
- 48:29this message outside of our Echo Chambers.
- 48:31And then there was one more point that he said during that.
- 48:34Oh yeah, the whole, like, we are in an information War, guys.
- 48:38Remember when I used to say that and you guys were saying that I
- 48:40was Hyperbolic. Well, I'm not the only one that
- 48:43is thinking this. We are in an information war and
- 48:46you guys are the Frontline soldiers.
- 48:47Like this is this is uncontested at this point.
- 48:50It is a it is a war for your mind and this is why it is our
- 48:55mean world and everyone else is just living in it.
- 48:57Anyway, it is, it's a mean world review, meme world.
- 49:01It is a menace to it. All right, so this first one,
- 49:04shouts out. The Maxis Club, he continues to
- 49:06kill it on Twitter and he just has, you know, he has his art
- 49:10Artistic theme here with his. I think it's a Pepe frog.
- 49:13I do you're gonna have to tell me what this what this little
- 49:16guy is. But it says Bitcoin Maxis and
- 49:19with the cake and it says, I told you.
- 49:21So we continue to tell you. So but yet you guys still don't
- 49:26listen to us. Anyways, this next one.
- 49:29I'm feeling festive this morning and RD B.
- 49:32TC tagged Us in this over the weekend and it says, tis the
- 49:35season to be stacking and we got, you know this guy being
- 49:39super-romantic. Bye.
- 49:40Drawing a Bitcoin be logo on the frosty window.
- 49:45I am reminded of one of those jingle jingle bell songs that
- 49:49almost got cancelled last year, but I heard it on the radio this
- 49:52morning. So didn't get cancelled yet,
- 49:53shouts out to you guys. This next one is by Mikey of the
- 49:56Corn and he goes the incredible hottel and you know it's fitting
- 50:01considering what the beginning of this show was and we got
- 50:05Michael sailor with laser eyes and it'll I'm pretty sure this
- 50:08is a his head on Hulk's body And it's called The Incredible
- 50:12hottel and we got, you know, the price dumping behind him, we got
- 50:16cyber Hornets, we got Leo to laughing, we got SPF in jail on.
- 50:21I was in say, on the TV, but just in jail.
- 50:23And then we got yellow over here, looking like a Greek.
- 50:26God in the corner. Tell me about the prophecy.
- 50:35This next one is by hot on. Never saw Tony goes the ongoing
- 50:39struggles of Bitcoin play. Herbs, and I forget what show
- 50:42this is. But anyways, we got this dude.
- 50:44Laughing hysterically enjoying his time, cheating on my DC, a
- 50:48strategy, and going to buy some extra sets.
- 50:51And then the realization of zero cut bucks on my Fiat account,
- 50:54and having to go live life. If you don't know this feeling
- 50:58well, I feel bad for your son because you still have feel in
- 51:02your account, you need more sets.
- 51:03Anyways, this next one, shouts out the Bitcoin Morpheus,
- 51:06because he plays on the idea that we tell you guys, Eyes all
- 51:11the time. Again I know you thought when
- 51:13Nico first said this to you guys that we were being hyperbolic
- 51:17but it is Bitcoin or slavery. And this is a play on the orange
- 51:21pill or the red pill blue pill from The Matrix except for
- 51:24instead of the orange pill and the blue pill, it is Bitcoin or
- 51:28slavery. This is the way guys, this is
- 51:31not even hyperbolic at this point.
- 51:33So, on this, on this point, I am going to give it this pen.
- 51:39That looks like the blues clue. Use pen if you know, you know,
- 51:43if you always the please please, wow, you're so kind of too old
- 51:58to have seen but it was at the tail end of my childhood.
- 52:03Okay. Yeah, please Clays.

- 59:02simply Bitcoin live. Where can people find you online
- 59:05and what are you working on nowadays?
- 59:07No, I had a quick question for you though after it's just based
- 59:10on him, your first like, big mainstream media appearance and
- 59:14I know that's morons. You know, the one was it last
- 59:16week for Swan. It was fantastic.
- 59:19You did a great job in, not going mental at the interview
- 59:23being like fucking stack SATs. You know, there's one is a
- 59:26really good job and when's your next one.
- 59:28I appreciate it. I don't know.
- 59:30They're always like there. You kind of just like Drop it
- 59:34out there at about a specific because that's kind of like How
- 59:37the new Cycle Works. It's like, if there's like a
- 59:39specific topic that people want to cover, you know, buttons.
- 59:44We have a new cycle legs. Yeah, no, no.
- 59:46But I didn't know how this works is, I'm like, I'm kind of like a
- 59:49like a YouTube person. I didn't know how Legacy Media
- 59:51works but basically if you want to cover a specific topic, you
- 59:54get your thoughts out and then they pick and choose like, oh I
- 59:56want to talk to this person. So yeah, that was the first one
- 59:59was my first like kind of big one.
- 1:00:00I was shitting. My pants the entire time.
- 1:00:03I was like, holy crap. I did terrible.
- 1:00:05And then when I got the copy of it, I was like I didn't do so
- 1:00:08bad. And then it's like, why did I do
- 1:00:09so bad? Because I do this every day.
- 1:00:11So like it just kind of like become second nature but I don't
- 1:00:13know, man. Just trying to get the word out
- 1:00:15Bitcoin, not crypto, get people on the mission and yeah man, but
- 1:00:20it's crazy. I and like it's I don't really
- 1:00:23say it would be about me. I think it's just really
- 1:00:25important whether it's Cory Natalie, you know Marty's been
- 1:00:29on Tucker. What?
- 1:00:30It doesn't matter. Just getting these ideas, Max
- 1:00:33Keiser on Tucker Tucker, Carlson today as well.
- 1:00:36Shout out to him. Just getting these ideas a
- 1:00:38Bitcoin ethos into the mainstream.
- 1:00:41Consciousness is really how we win this, right?
- 1:00:43We need to do that. We need adoption or just the
- 1:00:47government can hit us with a big with a big step, so it doesn't
- 1:00:50matter. It doesn't necessarily have to
- 1:00:51be me. It could be anybody.
- 1:00:52I like everybody has a role to play getting the Bitcoin.
- 1:00:55Message out there into the normies into into everybody.
- 1:00:59I remember it helps everybody equally.
- 1:01:00It's not a left and right issue, right?
- 1:01:02Helps the laughed helps people on the left.
- 1:01:04It helps people on the right helps everybody right Bitcoin is
- 1:01:07Political it's neutral, right? Helps everybody helps every
