Jordan Peterson: Scrap the Banks, Adopt Bitcoin | EP 825 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:07
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:09
  Bitcoin. It's going up for everyone.
• 0:19
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:24
  Yeah, welcome to Simply Bitcoin Live.
• 0:26
  We're number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution.
• 0:28
  Breaking news, culture, matic warfare.
• 0:30
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:33
  state crazy news. Jordan Peterson, one of the most
• 0:38
  influential people on planet Earth in terms of media
• 0:44
  basically said the quiet part out loud.
• 0:46
  He said scrap banks adopt Bitcoin.
• 0:52
  And the crazy part about this right is what you hear from a
• 0:56
  lot of the political rhetoric, right?
• 0:59
  Where you hear from a lot of the people that correctly identify
• 1:02
  the problems. Like like Javier Miley is a
• 1:05
  great example of this, right? He's correctly identified the
• 1:08
  issue. The issue is central banking.
• 1:11
  The issue is the state, right? But there if if you correctly
• 1:18
  identify the issue without providing a solution.
• 1:21
  You're not really going anywhere.
• 1:22
  Like the whole and the Fed movement.
• 1:25
  Shout out Ron Paul cuz I think he really, really started that
• 1:28
  in the United States. Like that's great, right?
• 1:31
  But what it and the Fed and then what?
• 1:35
  And the Fed and then Bitcoin. So when someone who has that
• 1:39
  much influence outside of the Bitcoin echo chamber is not only
• 1:44
  saying. Scrap banks.
• 1:46
  But it's actually presenting the solution to his mainstream
• 1:50
  audience that is not with that is not inside the Bitcoin echo
• 1:55
  chamber. That is a really, really big
• 1:58
  deal. So we're going to get into that.
• 2:01
  He has a massive following not only on YouTube, also on
• 2:05
  Twitter. I know a lot of people don't
• 2:07
  agree with his politics and you know it and I respect that and I
• 2:12
  understand that, but. What I ask you is to zoom out.
• 2:16
  It's not his. His politics are irrelevant to
• 2:20
  this cause, to to to what we're trying to achieve here.
• 2:23
  And then what we're ultimately trying to achieve is the
• 2:25
  separation of money and state peacefully.
• 2:28
  People waking up realizing that no one should have the ability
• 2:33
  to create money for free that someone else has to work for and
• 2:38
  they opt out into. Not only a not only a currency
• 2:42
  that is not inflationary, but is actually deflationary.
• 2:46
  Your purchasing power increases over time.
• 2:49
  So that's why this is a big deal.
• 2:51
  That's why it's a big deal when people like Jordan Peterson,
• 2:55
  people like Joe Rogan, people like Tucker Carlson when they
• 3:00
  taught Tim Poole the other day. It's very, very important that
• 3:04
  those individuals that have massive followings, independence
• 3:08
  followings, outside of the legacy corporate media talk
• 3:11
  about Bitcoin because that is when the mainstream starts to
• 3:15
  start, starts to ask questions and I'm very, very glad that
• 3:21
  Jordan Peterson not only correctly identified the
• 3:24
  problem, but also, said Okay. The solution is Bitcoin.
• 3:29
  Now this was a this is a major effort by the Bitcoin community,
• 3:34
  right? There is a podcast that he did
• 3:36
  with Robert Breedlove, Gigi. I think he did one with Safe
• 3:40
  Dean also. That all contributed to him
• 3:45
  coming to that conclusion that Bitcoin was the answer.
• 3:48
  Just like how Max Kaiser went on Tucker Carlson.
• 3:52
  Just how Michael Saylor went on Tucker Carlson.
• 3:54
  Just how Marty Bett went on Tucker Carlson.
• 3:58
  Bitcoiners breaking out of the Bitcoin echo chamber.
• 4:00
  Getting into the ears of huge, massively popular, mainstream
• 4:06
  independent content creators so that they can tell their
• 4:10
  audience. Guys, it's not left or right.
• 4:13
  It's not, it's not all this stuff that you guys are getting
• 4:16
  caught distracted with. The issue is the money.
• 4:19
  You fix the money, you fix the world.
• 4:22
  That's why I'm so hyped about today's episode.
• 4:25
  Anyways, I want to bring up my legendary cohost.
• 4:27
  He's getting more professional by the minute.
• 4:30
  He's wearing polos now. Are we just, are we just, are we
• 4:32
  just poloing it up, bro, from from now on?
• 4:35
  Is that what we're doing? Anders was trolling me that I
• 4:39
  that I allegedly am going to be wearing a suit in LA.
• 4:42
  I I don't have a suit, so maybe I'll have to buy a suit so that
• 4:46
  I can be more professional. No, it was literally, it just
• 4:49
  got washed. It was on my computer chair and
• 4:51
  I'm like, all right, I'm wearing a polo today.
• 4:53
  It is what it is. It is what it is.
• 4:55
  You're wearing a lot more polos as of Labor.
• 4:57
  I have two polos and it's like I put on a button shirt and
• 5:01
  everyone's like, oh, you're so professional.
• 5:02
  It's like, guys, I'm just not wearing a hoodie and a tshirt.
• 5:06
  But hey, I don't know, I will do a poll.
• 5:08
  Do people want me to wear polos anymore?
• 5:12
  I Whatever. Whatever.
• 5:13
  Anyway, this is not about my fashion decisions, OK?
• 5:17
  Yeah man, Nico, crazy stuff. I can't wait to breakdown this
• 5:19
  whole new story today, but we'll save that for later.
• 5:23
  On that note, we do have a guest today.
• 5:25
  Shout out to Stefan, a bitcoiner, and we're really
• 5:29
  gonna dive in on the connections between health and Bitcoin and
• 5:34
  why you guys need to get healthy out there.
• 5:35
  It's super important. Anyways, if on how are you doing
• 5:38
  today, I'm great guys. Thanks for having me on.
• 5:41
  Thanks for joining us on Simply. Half the Turkey shot.
• 5:48
  Thanks for joining us on. So OK, there is a huge
• 5:52
  connection between Bitcoin and and health, because I think
• 5:56
  Bitcoin inherently changes your your worldview, right?
• 6:00
  And it makes you start thinking about the long term, right?
• 6:04
  And if you're going to start thinking about the long term,
• 6:06
  obviously you start thinking about, Oh my God, the chat is
• 6:10
  going ham. What have I done?
• 6:13
  When you start thinking about the long term, you start
• 6:16
  thinking about your health, right?
• 6:18
  You you obviously you want longevity.
• 6:20
  You want longevity for your kids.
• 6:21
  You know you want to be around when they're when they're grown
• 6:24
  up. So what was it?
• 6:27
  Is there a connection there? Yeah, there's definitely a
• 6:30
  connection. Like you said.
• 6:31
  I think that's spot on. Just delaying gratification,
• 6:36
  thinking about the future. And then part of that is
• 6:39
  accountability, right? You have this network of money
• 6:44
  which is accountable for everybody to see and you can't.
• 6:48
  You can't be healthy if you're not accountable, right?
• 6:50
  You have to. We have to keep each other
• 6:51
  accountable too. So the decisions you're making
• 6:54
  today will, you know, have an effect on the future, no doubt.
• 6:59
  So with money, the same, if you're just consuming,
• 7:02
  consuming, you're not delaying any consumption, you're not
• 7:06
  saving. You know, your your wealth may
• 7:09
  be affected in the future and so will your health, You know,
• 7:12
  because you're probably eating too much.
• 7:15
  You're probably partying, you're probably going out.
• 7:17
  You're just wasting all of the future's energy today and your
• 7:22
  life force and your money. So they do kind of go hand in
• 7:25
  hand. We can dive deeper.
• 7:27
  You know, we could talk about this for hours, but that's I
• 7:29
  think in a nutshell, that's, that's where it's headed, you
• 7:32
  know? We'll talk about it heavily in
• 7:34
  the culture. 100 percent, 100%. Alright man, can't wait for this
• 7:38
  episode. Should be a lot of fun.
• 7:40
  Let's jump straight into the numbers.
• 7:42
  Let's do it the Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 7:49
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 7:52
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 7:53
  Doityourself kit has everything you need to hammer your seed
• 7:57
  words into commercial grade titanium plates instead of just
• 8:02
  writing them on paper. Don't store your generational
• 8:05
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage.
• 8:08
  Fire damage. You want to put your
• 8:10
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 8:13
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 8:16
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 8:20
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 8:22
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 8:26
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 8:28
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 8:31
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 8:35
  time proof. All things that paper is.
• 8:37
  Not allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for
• 8:40
  the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp seed.
• 8:44
  Alright guys, I literally made it super easy for you guys.
• 8:47
  You can scan the QR code on your screen.
• 8:49
  It'll take you directly to stamp seed website.
• 8:51
  You can get yourself a stamp seed so you could correctly
• 8:55
  store your generational wealth. Store it on titanium.
• 8:58
  Don't store it on paper. Don't.
• 9:00
  You don't want to put yourself in a position where you have to
• 9:02
  explain it to your grandchildren because you stored it on paper
• 9:06
  anyways. At the time of recording the
• 9:08
  Bitcoin price is 27,230 sats per dollar 3672 block height 808,311
• 9:19
  blocks to having 31,600 eighty 89 having estimate April 21st,
• 9:25
  2024 total Lightning network capacity 4806 Bitcoin.
• 9:31
  Capacity value 130 million U.S. dollars Realize monetary
• 9:36
  inflation 1.75% The market capitalization of Bitcoin $530
• 9:43
  billion with a B Bitcoin versus gold market cap 4.11%.
• 9:49
  And of course, that number is going to continue to go up
• 9:52
  forever, and the realized monetary inflation rate will
• 9:55
  continue to go down forever, continuing to embarrass.
• 9:59
  Fiat currencies anyways I I mentioned Ron Paul in the very
• 10:04
  very beginning of the episode and it we sometimes you have to
• 10:09
  you have to you have to look back in time right.
• 10:13
  And Ron Paul was it was very interesting I know he he he was
• 10:16
  officially Republican but he was definitely a you know a
• 10:20
  libertarian and and he really started this end the Fed
• 10:25
  movement. I know Javier Mali has mentioned
• 10:28
  him. As well, right this, this whole
• 10:32
  idea of of of of central banking and the evils of central banking
• 10:36
  and all the consequences of central banking.
• 10:38
  Now what's really interesting about Ron Paul is that he
• 10:41
  started mentioning this stuff when this, when this type of
• 10:45
  rhetoric, when this type of conversation was completely
• 10:48
  outside of the Overton window was considered radical.
• 10:53
  Now the end the Fed. The end the Fed movement has
• 10:56
  definitely picked up momentum. People are definitely
• 10:59
  questioning what is money. Maybe in other countries more so
• 11:03
  than and then in the United States, but I think it's just a
• 11:05
  matter of time before people start questioning that as well.
• 11:10
  One of the most popular podcast, podcast, Political podcast.
• 11:15
  In the United States, Steve Bannon's war room, he mentions
• 11:18
  and the Fed all the time, right. So this, this whole idea, this
• 11:21
  whole movement is picking up steam.
• 11:24
  However, it's up to us bitcoiners.
• 11:27
  And This is why the the Jordan Peterson news that we're going
• 11:29
  to cover today is so consequential.
• 11:31
  It's it's it's up to us as bitcoiners to not only say and
• 11:35
  the Fed, but also identify what the.
• 11:40
  Because again, people are like and the Fed and replace it with
• 11:42
  what? Don't replace it with anything.
• 11:44
  Bitcoin just is right. Anyways, I'm going to play you
• 11:48
  guys the video. It's about four minutes and 30
• 11:51
  seconds. I have it playing at 1.5 times
• 11:53
  the speed, so it should be a little bit faster, but I think
• 11:55
  it is worthwhile watching. This was right after the 2008
• 12:00
  crash and Ron Paul absolutely hit the nail on the head.
• 12:04
  Absolute legend. Let's check it out.
• 12:06
  Thank. You, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker,
• 12:11
  the Federal Reserve is the culprit.
• 12:13
  It has delivered this crisis to us.
• 12:15
  The Federal Reserve's low interest rate policy is a big
• 12:17
  mistake. It is not a panacea.
• 12:20
  Artificially low interest rates are achieved by inflating the
• 12:23
  money supply. Low interest rates penalize the
• 12:26
  thrifty, and those who save are cheated.
• 12:29
  It promotes consumption and borrowing over savings and
• 12:32
  investing. Manipulating interest rates is
• 12:35
  an immoral act. It is economically destructive.
• 12:39
  The policy of artificially low interest rates caused our
• 12:41
  problems. And therefore cannot be the
• 12:44
  solution. The market rate of interest is
• 12:46
  crucial information for the smooth operation of the economy.
• 12:51
  A central bank setting interest rates is price fixing and is a
• 12:54
  form of central economic planning.
• 12:57
  Price fixing is a tool of socialists and destroys
• 13:00
  production. Central bankers, politicians and
• 13:03
  bureaucrats can't know what the proper rate should be.
• 13:07
  They lack the knowledge and are deceived by their own
• 13:10
  aggrandizement. Manipulating the money supply
• 13:13
  and interest rates rejects all the principles of the free
• 13:16
  market. Ironically, free markets and
• 13:19
  sound money generates low rates. But unlike the artificially low
• 13:23
  rates orchestrated by the Fed, this information conveyed is
• 13:27
  beneficial to investors and savers.
• 13:31
  The Congress, by conceding this authority, conveys extraordinary
• 13:34
  economic powers to the elite few.
• 13:37
  This is a power that has been abused throughout history.
• 13:41
  Only the Federal Reserve can inflate the currency, creating
• 13:43
  new money and credit out of thin air, in secrecy, without
• 13:48
  oversight or supervision. Inflation facilitates deficits,
• 13:52
  needless wars, and excessive welfare spending.
• 13:56
  Debasing the currency is counterfeiting.
• 13:59
  It steals value from every dollar earned or saved.
• 14:03
  It robs the people and makes them poorer.
• 14:05
  It is the enemy of the working person.
• 14:09
  Inflation is the most vicious and regressive of all forms of
• 14:12
  taxation. It transfers well from the
• 14:15
  middle class to the privileged rich.
• 14:17
  The economic chaos that results from a policy of central bank
• 14:20
  inflation inevitably leads to political instability and
• 14:24
  violence. It is an ancient tool of all
• 14:27
  authoritarians. Inflating is never a benefit to
• 14:30
  freedom loving people. It destroys prosperity and feeds
• 14:34
  the fires of war. It is responsible for recessions
• 14:37
  and depressions. It's deceptive, addictive, and
• 14:41
  causes delusions of grandeur with regards to wealth and
• 14:44
  knowledge. Wealth cannot be achieved by
• 14:46
  creating money by Fiat. It instead destroys wealth and
• 14:51
  it rewards the special interest. Depending on monetary fraud for
• 14:55
  national prosperity or a reversal of our downward spiral
• 14:59
  is riskier than depending on the lottery.
• 15:03
  Inflation has been used to pay for all the wars and empires and
• 15:06
  they all and badly. Inflationism and corporatism
• 15:10
  engenders protectionism and trade wars.
• 15:14
  It prompts scapegoating, blaming foreigners, illegal immigrants,
• 15:17
  ethnic minorities, and too often, freedom itself for the
• 15:21
  predictable events and suffering that results.
• 15:25
  Besides, the whole process is unconstitutional.
• 15:27
  There is no legal authority to operate such a monetary system.
• 15:32
  So let's stop it. Let us restore a policy of
• 15:35
  prosperity, peace and liberty. The time has come.
• 15:39
  That's and the Fed. I mean, like, holy cow, Holy
• 15:45
  cow, he he he called this back in 2008.
• 15:51
  All of the things that are happening now, right?
• 15:54
  It's accelerated, right? The rich have gotten richer.
• 15:59
  The lower and middle classes. I read you guys the article the
• 16:03
  other day. 61% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
• 16:08
  If you're a millennial or you're a Gen. zer, it is almost
• 16:12
  impossible to be able to afford a home.
• 16:15
  The prices of, of, of, of, of, of real estate have doubled in
• 16:21
  the last two years ago, two years alone, since they started
• 16:25
  printing all of that money. Ron Paul hit the nail on the
• 16:30
  head. This was more than 10 years ago,
• 16:34
  and he was absolutely spot on about everything that he
• 16:38
  predicted. Why?
• 16:39
  Because this has happened throughout history.
• 16:43
  I made a joke over the weekend and it was absolutely hilarious
• 16:45
  because everyone was talking about the Roman Empire.
• 16:49
  You wake up, you know? Do men think about the glory of
• 16:53
  Rome when they wake up? Well, you know.
• 16:55
  What was one of the key things that made the Roman Empire
• 17:02
  collapse? Right?
• 17:03
  First the Western Roman Empire and then the Eastern Roman
• 17:07
  Empire really was eventually taken over.
• 17:10
  You know the siege of Constantinople, but the Western
• 17:13
  Roman Empire, all of that. What did they do?
• 17:16
  They inflated the money supply. Now back then it was in paper.
• 17:20
  Back then the the the currency that they use is called the the
• 17:24
  Dinaris. And essentially what they would
• 17:26
  do is you could literally see that there would be a percentage
• 17:31
  of silver in those coins and as time progressed the percentage
• 17:35
  of silver went down and down and down and down and down.
• 17:40
  They debased the currency because the state, the emperor
• 17:44
  want to spend more money than they had.
• 17:48
  So they inflated the currency. And that's exactly what this
• 17:52
  current empire of which we're living in these days, the
• 17:55
  American empire, they're doing the exact same thing.
• 17:58
  They're spending money. They don't have the US dollar.
• 18:03
  The the US government spends 1 trillion.
• 18:05
  That is more than that is more than most countries GD P's.
• 18:12
  They spend $1 trillion every single year.
• 18:17
  More than they collect in tax revenue.
• 18:19
  How are they able to afford this?
• 18:21
  They're able to afford this through deficit spending.
• 18:24
  They're able to afford this because of the money printer
• 18:27
  Javier Melies interview with with Tucker Carlson was so spot
• 18:35
  on because he called it, Tucker called it.
• 18:39
  And what this money printing gives, what this money printing
• 18:43
  allows the federal government to do?
• 18:47
  Endless wars enrich their friends, spend on social
• 18:52
  programs that normally would not be economically feasible, the
• 18:56
  misallocation of capital that all comes from the Fed, that all
• 19:03
  comes from central banking. Now there is a silver lining to
• 19:08
  this is that I think that we are heading into a a place where
• 19:13
  things are getting so bad. That people are startling start
• 19:17
  finally starting to wake up and ask a very basic but very
• 19:22
  important question. What is money?
• 19:26
  And we're starting to see that in countries that are farthest
• 19:30
  away from the monopoly or farthest away from the main
• 19:33
  benefactors. But you're starting to see this
• 19:37
  in Turkey, you're starting to see this in Nigeria.
• 19:39
  You're definitely starting to see this in Argentina.
• 19:42
  You saw it in El Salvador. People are questioning what is
• 19:46
  money. People are questioning Fiat
• 19:49
  itself. And the way I know that is the
• 19:54
  the attacks that are coming from the legacy media.
• 19:58
  They're so hell bent on attacking El Salvador.
• 20:01
  They're so hell bent on attacking Javier Million
• 20:04
  Argentina because there are threats to the status quo.
• 20:08
  When you start questioning the very system, why should you have
• 20:13
  the ability to create money for free?
• 20:16
  That I have to work for? Why should my money lose
• 20:19
  purchasing power, period? Like that is a question.
• 20:23
  Why should I do that? They do not have a response to
• 20:27
  that. They they ignore it that they do
• 20:30
  the ostrich thing where they put their heads in the sand and then
• 20:33
  they hope that you're not paying attention. the US Treasury wrote
• 20:36
  a paper last year. It's called The Future of Money
• 20:40
  and Payments in the Future of Money and Payments.
• 20:42
  In that paper, they did not mention Bitcoin.
• 20:45
  They mentioned central bank digital currencies, they
• 20:47
  mentioned payment platforms, and they mentioned stablecoins.
• 20:50
  They mentioned all the things that would allow them to
• 20:53
  maintain the privilege of being able to create money for free.
• 20:58
  And all us bitcoiners are asking for is an equitable system where
• 21:03
  if you want to make more Bitcoin, you got to buy it, you
• 21:06
  got to earn it, and you got to mine it, just like everybody
• 21:09
  else. There's a cost to production,
• 21:13
  and that inevitably leads to a sound money standard, a world
• 21:18
  living on sound money. Now here's the thing.
• 21:21
  It's too early to tell, but look at what's happened in El
• 21:25
  Salvador. They made Bitcoin legal tender,
• 21:29
  right? They fixed the base layer of
• 21:31
  society. And then it's a big coincidence
• 21:34
  the the, the country that did that all of a sudden, all of a
• 21:38
  sudden, maybe it's maybe it's a coincidence all of a sudden the
• 21:42
  person who was elected into office is actually doing the
• 21:45
  things that he said he was going to do.
• 21:49
  And I believe the reason that I believe that is, is because
• 21:53
  Bitcoin has aligned incentives and the Fiat system has
• 21:57
  misaligned incentives and the Fiat system, a bureaucratic
• 22:01
  elite win, a wealthy elite win while everyone loses and Bitcoin
• 22:07
  everyone wins. It's a it's an aligned, it's
• 22:11
  aligned, aligned incentive model, right.
• 22:15
  So anyways, that's my take. Ron Paul's an absolute legend.
• 22:21
  Holy cow. He's still going strong, by the
• 22:23
  way. He still has his own show called
• 22:25
  The Liberty Report. He's still dropping hot fire,
• 22:28
  and the man's 80 years old. So shout out to that bro.
• 22:31
  Shout out to Ron Paul, man. He started the fire and I think
• 22:35
  it's up to us, Opti. It's up to us and all the
• 22:37
  bitcoiners to really, really see it through.
• 22:41
  Anyways, Opti, what's your take? Yeah, yeah.
• 22:42
  I mean, I'm, I'm glad that's where you ended because I was
• 22:45
  going to say the same thing in like, in hindsight.
• 22:49
  All bitcoiners are just like mini ROM Paul's, but with a real
• 22:52
  solution. You know like and the Fed in
• 22:53
  hindsight, again, like 2020 is or what Hindsight 2020 And the
• 22:58
  Fed is really it. It it feels like lip service,
• 23:01
  you know, like if there's no solution to ending the Fed,
• 23:03
  which as a bitcoiner we would say it is opting into Bitcoin.
• 23:08
  It's just a good slogan. Like it's a good meme.
• 23:10
  I don't know exactly when ROM Paul started the meme of and the
• 23:13
  Fed. It seems to have caught some
• 23:16
  steam in the last couple of years, and it seems like it's
• 23:19
  starting to make its way around, you know, the globe and people
• 23:22
  aren't just using it as like some kind of niche.
• 23:27
  Political ideology. It's like we all know.
• 23:29
  Well, not all of us. Again, let me backtrack.
• 23:32
  The people that know what's going on know that the money
• 23:34
  printer is the main problem. The central banks of the world
• 23:37
  are the main parasites of society.
• 23:39
  And This is why we've all become poorer as we've gotten more
• 23:43
  productive in the world, like as technology has improved.
• 23:47
  Our salaries haven't improved with it, which is what should
• 23:50
  happen. If this was a, you know, a fair
• 23:53
  system and the only solution is taking away the money printer,
• 23:55
  IE opting into Bitcoin, opting out of the Fiat world.
• 24:00
  And it doesn't really matter as far as I'm concerned, what side
• 24:03
  of the aisle you're on. Left, right, whatever.
• 24:05
  We say it all the time. It's orange or green.
• 24:07
  The mechanism is the same, spend other people's money to
• 24:10
  allegedly help society. Either way, you're getting
• 24:12
  poorer. In practice, you are getting
• 24:14
  poorer. The Fiat mechanism is a wealth.
• 24:16
  Distribution mechanism, as Ron Paul was saying, you know,
• 24:20
  whether through taxation or inflation, the average person is
• 24:23
  becoming poorer because we aren't.
• 24:26
  We're not the ones with these private contracts, you know,
• 24:29
  we're not the ones getting the government's money directly.
• 24:32
  All we have to do, or all we can do is feel the consequences of
• 24:36
  our dollar. Window away in real time.
• 24:39
  So in my opinion, you know, I love the meme and the Fed, but
• 24:43
  again, it does feel like only half the solution.
• 24:45
  And we talk about all the time. You know, we tell you stacks
• 24:48
  that's stay humble, stay solvent, you know, like opt into
• 24:51
  Bitcoin. But beauty on playing in my
• 24:54
  head. Like it doesn't matter if people
• 24:56
  do know of this meme if they're not holding Bitcoin, if they're
• 25:00
  not downloading wallets. So again, you know, and the
• 25:02
  fed's a great meme it it's caught some steam in the last
• 25:05
  couple of years, but it really does feel like only half of the
• 25:09
  solution, which is identifying the problem.
• 25:12
  I said all the time, I think most people that understand
• 25:14
  what's going on can identify the problem.
• 25:17
  But the solution is opting in the Bitcoin it is saving.
• 25:21
  In Bitcoin it is. Not partaking in the Fiat system
• 25:26
  as much as possible. I know we off to survive.
• 25:28
  We got to pay our bills and all that.
• 25:29
  But you need to have some savings on the side in a
• 25:32
  parallel system aka Bitcoin. And this is the only way we can
• 25:36
  win. There is only one solution.
• 25:38
  It is to use a money that cannot be debased for any reason that
• 25:42
  is outside of the control of humans.
• 25:43
  You know we say it all the time. Separation of money and state.
• 25:46
  This is Bitcoin. This is how we fix the system.
• 25:49
  You cannot fix the system from within the system, hence.
• 25:52
  Why? Bitcoiners have just built a
• 25:54
  better financial system. What's the mean, Nico?
• 25:56
  You know, a roundabout way, a sly roundabout way, this.
• 26:02
  Is what we're doing. And slowly but surely people are
• 26:04
  opting into it. Individuals are making the
• 26:07
  choice to stop getting robbed. And it's just beautiful to see.
• 26:11
  And you know, shouts out the wrong Paul because a lot of his
• 26:13
  rhetoric does get, you know, propagated within the Bitcoin
• 26:19
  system, a Bitcoin ecosystem. All of us are basically.
• 26:22
  You know small Ron Paul lights at the end.
• 26:24
  You know we're all saying the same thing and the Fed.
• 26:27
  But I think now we have a viable solution which is obviously
• 26:31
  holding Bitcoin have some savings in Bitcoin transact and
• 26:34
  Bitcoin as much as possible and and start to use Fiat less And
• 26:41
  it's going to happen slowly but surely but it's happening in
• 26:43
  real time and people are waking up to it anyway.
• 26:46
  Stefan, I I see you want to jump in on this.
• 26:48
  What's your thoughts on this? Yeah man I so many threats to
• 26:51
  pull from but yeah just use Fiat less is is what you got to do.
• 26:58
  Kind of jumping into health just you got to stay away from that
• 27:01
  Fiat food too just less gravitate towards health
• 27:04
  healthier food. Like you said, the solution we
• 27:09
  need to offer a solution. We can't just be ranting about
• 27:12
  all this stuff and not offer solutions, so but it's it's
• 27:16
  clear that as. As you get closer to a solution,
• 27:20
  as you get closer to Bitcoin, your life, your health, your
• 27:25
  financial health will start to improve you ever so slightly,
• 27:29
  little by little, And then with your food as well as you start
• 27:33
  to gravitate towards healthier food, healthier habits, you're
• 27:37
  going to start feeling a little bit better, right?
• 27:41
  Going back to what Ron Paul said, he's, you know, he said a
• 27:44
  lot of things that also make me think of.
• 27:47
  The healthcare system, you know, he was saying, deceived by
• 27:50
  aggrandizement. You know, like that's that's
• 27:53
  what you have in Healthcare is a lot of people that, you know,
• 27:57
  they've studied a lot. They're smart, but I think
• 28:00
  they've kind of fallen, they've been deceived themselves by by a
• 28:05
  system that starts above them and starts to trickle down and
• 28:09
  then they're kind of boxed into this little way of thinking.
• 28:12
  And within that box, yeah, they're super smart.
• 28:16
  But they fail to see that a lot of it is deceptive, like Ron
• 28:21
  Paul also said, and it actually paradoxically destroys your
• 28:27
  health, Just like the financial system is put in place to
• 28:31
  improve your wealth and it destroys your wealth.
• 28:34
  We have a healthcare system that, you know, I think it
• 28:37
  should be called the sick care system, where in reality it's
• 28:40
  objectively measurable that people are getting sicker.
• 28:45
  Just as financially people are getting poorer and there's
• 28:49
  really no, no debate. You can look at chronic disease,
• 28:52
  you can look at obesity, you can look at mortality as well.
• 28:58
  It's it's just very clear. So, and then just another point,
• 29:03
  Ron Paul said, I wrote it down here blaming others for results,
• 29:05
  right? The the price signal in money is
• 29:10
  just so distorted, it's hard to see what's causing what because.
• 29:14
  We suffer from solutions, So many interventions here, left,
• 29:18
  right, everywhere. And so then the effects usually
• 29:22
  are delayed, right? They come in six months, a year,
• 29:24
  two years. So then when they happen, we're
• 29:26
  like, oh, I don't know why this happened.
• 29:28
  You know, Healthcare is the same way.
• 29:30
  You know, we, we do a lot of interventions, doctors, nurses,
• 29:36
  we have to intervene, right? Because if we don't intervene
• 29:39
  and something happens, you didn't intervene.
• 29:41
  You should have intervened. So we just err on the side of
• 29:44
  caution, intervene, intervene, and then oh, I I don't know why
• 29:48
  this happened. You know, last point,
• 29:52
  unconstitutional is another thing Ron Paul said with with
• 29:56
  this whole COVID thing. You know, in healthcare we
• 29:59
  talked a lot about autonomy, informed consent, those are two
• 30:03
  key things that we learn about in ethics.
• 30:06
  You know it's all gone out the window, so.
• 30:11
  You know, just some similarities.
• 30:12
  Ron Paul obviously is on point with everything he says.
• 30:15
  And to wrap it up, I feel like since everything is downstream
• 30:21
  from money, when you start to learn about money and see and
• 30:26
  understand, you know, through math, it's just math how it's
• 30:30
  how it's fucked up, then you can kind of just see that pattern
• 30:34
  repeat everywhere because of the money, the incentives and money
• 30:38
  are what? Is causing those issues.
• 30:40
  So then in healthcare, it's just super clear.
• 30:43
  And yeah, we want to live free lives.
• 30:47
  You have to be healthy, wealthy to be able to do the things that
• 30:50
  you want to do, you, your family, your friends.
• 30:53
  So I think that's why we, we talked about this so much.
• 30:55
  We want to share it, but at the end of the day, your health is
• 30:58
  yours, your wealth is yours. We want to share the good vibes.
• 31:01
  But you know, at the end of the day, everybody's going to
• 31:05
  benefit from what they do, 100 percent, 100%, man, I think you
• 31:09
  hit the nail on the head. I love how you you tied together
• 31:13
  the health and the wealth because I I completely agree,
• 31:16
  right? Wealth is nothing without
• 31:17
  health, you know? So I think you hit the nail on
• 31:21
  the head there. Shout out Ron Paul for really,
• 31:23
  really starting this movement. Anyways, I want to give a spot,
• 31:27

• 33:45
  Anyways, I was about to say at the time of recording.
• 33:49
  Ha, that's for numbers. Anyways, this is the news after
• 33:52
  all. Check out this article from
• 33:53
  Findbold. Jordan Peterson suggests it's
• 33:57
  Time to Scrap banks and use Bitcoin.
• 34:01
  Goes on to say doctor Jordan Peterson, a best selling author
• 34:04
  and well known Canadian psychologist with over 4.6
• 34:07
  million followers on X, sparked a debate on September 14 about
• 34:12
  the unbanking movement and Bitcoin being tool it being a
• 34:15
  tool to scrap banks. Notably, Peterson's post was
• 34:19
  made in response to Australian news regarding Marquis bank
• 34:22
  branches moving to scrapcast check and phone payment systems.
• 34:28
  And here's the article he And then here's a tweet actually.
• 34:31
  Or an ex post, he says Maybe it's time to scrap banks.
• 34:35
  Could Bitcoin fix this? Absolutely Bitcoin could fix
• 34:38
  this. And this is a movement mind you,
• 34:40
  that is happening all around the world.
• 34:42
  They plan to get rid of cash and they're planning to push central
• 34:48
  bank digital currencies. So when someone with this much
• 34:52
  mainstream outside of the Bitcoin echo chamber, right,
• 34:57
  it's not only suggesting Fiat money is a problem, state money
• 35:01
  is a problem, banks are the problem, but they're actually
• 35:04
  presenting the solution, which is Bitcoin.
• 35:07
  It's a big effing deal. This is how you move the Overton
• 35:11
  window. This is how you win the race to
• 35:14
  avoid the war. This is how you make Bitcoin
• 35:17
  mainstream. You keep hammering these points
• 35:22
  home and Jordan Peterson, whatever However which way you
• 35:25
  feel about his politics is an extremely popular independence
• 35:30
  media figure. Anyways, it goes on to say
• 35:33
  Australia is not the only country looking to end the use
• 35:36
  of physical cash and other non centralized means of exchange.
• 35:39
  In most European countries the use of cash is already limited
• 35:43
  to smaller transactions and Nigerian banks also have lower
• 35:46
  lower low cash withdrawals on their ATM.
• 35:49
  'S in this context Jordan Peterson suggests that people
• 35:54
  should stop using banks and ass of Bitcoin can fix this as it as
• 35:58
  as it can be an alternative tool for the ones that are still
• 36:01
  looking for cash like experience with their money, it goes on to
• 36:05
  say. Interestingly, the Canadian
• 36:07
  doctor has already demonstrated a will to use Bitcoin as a
• 36:10
  facilitator for global monetary transactions and was later
• 36:14
  introduced to light to the Lightning Network custodial
• 36:16
  wallets by Joe Nakamoto in order to receive borderless donations
• 36:20
  instead of using the Fiat based Go Fund Me services.
• 36:23
  And remember what happened during the Canadian truckers
• 36:25
  protest. The Go Fund Me was frozen.
• 36:28
  It was seized by the government. You know the only thing that
• 36:31
  they were not able to seize it was or part of they.
• 36:35
  They were able to seize part of the transactions not because
• 36:38
  they were able to compromise Bitcoin itself, but because they
• 36:41
  were able to get the private keys off of of one of the
• 36:46
  custodian or one of the people that were organizing the the,
• 36:51
  the, the, the funding for the Canadian truckers.
• 36:55
  But I think it's like 75% of the funding has still not been able
• 37:00
  to be touched by the Canadian government.
• 37:02
  And that I guarantee you, that absolutely terrifies them.
• 37:05
  I guarantee you that's why Elizabeth Warren is so hell bent
• 37:09
  on destroying Bitcoin. There she she is once again
• 37:12
  pulling a putting on pressure. She is she's gotten a bunch of
• 37:18
  other senators and Congress people to sign on to an anti
• 37:21
  Bitcoin bill that Pierre Rashard said would basically kill the
• 37:25
  Bitcoin mining industry in the states.
• 37:28
  We're going to cover that tomorrow because it's some very
• 37:30
  harsh language and it's important that you guys are
• 37:33
  armed with knowledge and facts so you guys are aware what is
• 37:36
  going on and most importantly take agency, take action,
• 37:40
  educate the people around you. It's not right verse left.
• 37:43
  It's not red verse blue. It's the party of green.
• 37:46
  The party of nihilism, poverty, central bank, digital
• 37:49
  currencies, Fiat versus the party of orange.
• 37:51
  The party of peace, Bitcoin, prosperity and opportunity and
• 37:57
  optimism. Anyways, going on to say goes on
• 38:01
  to say answering Peterson's question, many renowned Bitcoin
• 38:04
  advocates commented in support of the cause like the host of
• 38:07
  the What is Money podcast, Robert Breedlove.
• 38:11
  He goes on to say banks in part counterparty risk to act of
• 38:15
  using to to the act of using money.
• 38:18
  Bitcoin and self custody is money absent counterparty risk.
• 38:22
  So yes, Bitcoin fixes this. This is why it's so important by
• 38:26
  the way you take self custody of your Bitcoin, right?
• 38:33
  If it's not, not your keys, not your Bitcoin.
• 38:37
  I cannot emphasize that enough. Now of course, here is a central
• 38:41
  bank little currency pusher. This is one of the narratives,
• 38:45
  right, that they created. He goes on to say.
• 38:47
  No, it couldn't. The traditional banking system
• 38:50
  could do 50K to 100K transactions per second.
• 38:53
  The CBDC pilot in the US can do 1.7 million transactions per
• 38:57
  second. Bitcoin can do 7 transactions
• 39:00
  per second. Wait a second, did he just say
• 39:02
  the choir part out loud at the Fed?
• 39:04
  Now is the CBDC pilot in the USI thought they were saying that it
• 39:08
  wasn't. Anyways, you need to do some
• 39:11
  research before you spout BTC. You might think you're in the
• 39:15
  crowd, but actually actually taking a shit with your trousers
• 39:18
  on again? Well, of course he obviously
• 39:20
  hasn't heard of the Lightning Network.
• 39:22
  The Lightning Network, you know is is is great for those
• 39:26
  everyday transactions, right? It's instantaneous, it's it's
• 39:30
  basically almost free and most importantly, it's censorship
• 39:33
  resistant anyways. So why did this happen?
• 39:36
  Well, we have to go back in time and we have to look at this
• 39:40
  podcast that Robber Breedlove did with Robert.
• 39:45
  Sorry Robert Jordan Peterson did with Robber Breedlove.
• 39:50
  John Vallas, Gigi's in here, and I forget the name of this
• 39:54
  bitcoiner, but shout out to you brother.
• 39:56
  His name is Richard James. So these podcasts, right and and
• 40:03
  we emphasize the importance of this podcast when it came out,
• 40:07
  are so important because these are all bitcoiners that are
• 40:11
  within the Bitcoin echo chamber. We're all on the mission.
• 40:14
  You don't need to explain it. And they're explaining it to
• 40:16
  someone who has a very large audience and they're getting him
• 40:20
  to understand. Look.
• 40:22
  The the the issue is state money.
• 40:24
  The issue is the fact that people are not taking self
• 40:26
  custody of their wealth and they can't do that with the CBDC.
• 40:30
  They can't do that with having their money in the bank.
• 40:32
  So they they they planted these seeds in Jordan Peterson's head
• 40:36
  and then Fast forward Jordan Peterson starts connecting the
• 40:39
  dots when banks are basically saying, OK, we have to get rid
• 40:44
  of cash and look, he says it right there.
• 40:47
  Bitcoin, the future of money question mark.
• 40:49
  Well, it looks like he, you know, you could say that he has
• 40:55
  come to to somewhat of a conclusion.
• 40:58
  Now why is it so important? Why am I focusing on Jordan
• 41:01
  Peterson? He is someone that a lot of
• 41:03
  people find divisive and I could see why a lot of people would
• 41:05
  say that, especially you know, on his political beliefs.
• 41:09
  He has an audience of seven point 7.46 million subscribers
• 41:13
  on YouTube. He has millions of followers on
• 41:15
  Twitter as well, and he talks against the established
• 41:19
  narrative, right? This is why it's so important
• 41:22
  for independent, mainstream media content creators to
• 41:26
  understand Bitcoin, because they will point their audience to
• 41:29
  Bitcoin and once again spreading the peaceful Bitcoin revolution.
• 41:34
  And remember, independent media is the future.
• 41:37
  This is something that we talked about, you know, a couple days
• 41:41
  ago on Friday's episode when we were talking about Tucker
• 41:44
  Carlson, right? Tucker Carlson got fired from
• 41:47
  Fox. His average views per episode
• 41:50
  when he was at Fox were 3.5 million view viewers per
• 41:54
  episode. Fast forward, he dropped this
• 41:57
  episode. This is the episode before
• 42:00
  before the interview with Javier Mali.
• 42:03
  In this 55 seconds, he literally destroyed and we played you guys
• 42:08
  the clip. He destroyed the scam of Fiat
• 42:10
  currencies. Extremely similar wording to
• 42:13
  what Ron Paul was saying on the Senate on the floor of of
• 42:17
  Congress, right? So, and this episode.
• 42:21
  So this episode performed really well, but the episode that he
• 42:25
  did with Xavier Meli had 450 million views or impressions,
• 42:32
  right? And compared to his days at Fox
• 42:34
  News, it only got 3.5 million. Independent media is the future.
• 42:39
  And when I say independent media, that means you.
• 42:42
  So if you have a Twitter account, if you have a YouTube
• 42:45
  channel, start pounding on the drum.
• 42:48
  Start beating the battle drum. It's up to you to Orange peel
• 42:52
  your family. It's up to you to spread the
• 42:55
  sound money gospel. So we were talking about, you
• 42:58
  know, this idea that governments are trying to get rid of cash,
• 43:01
  but it's a lot deeper than that. It's a lot deeper than that.
• 43:04
  It's not only about getting rid of cash.
• 43:06
  It's also implementing central bank digital currencies.
• 43:09
  Here's a group, Here's an article on Zero Hedge.
• 43:12
  I think the original article came out on Epoch Times and it
• 43:16
  goes on to say the group of 20 leaders have agreed to a plan to
• 43:20
  eventually impose digital currencies and digital ID's on
• 43:23
  their respective populations, despite fears that governments
• 43:27
  will use them to monitor their their people's spending and
• 43:30
  crush dissent. The G20, which is currently
• 43:33
  under India's presidency, adopted a a final declaration on
• 43:36
  the subject over the the weekend in New Delhi.
• 43:39
  The meeting, which included the world's leading economies,
• 43:42
  announced last week that they had agreed to build the
• 43:44
  necessary infrastructure to implement digital currencies and
• 43:48
  ID's. The group said that the
• 43:49
  discussions were already underway to create international
• 43:53
  regulations for crypto currencies but claimed that
• 43:55
  there was number talk of banning cryptocurrency at the summit.
• 43:59
  Many critics are concerned that governments and central banks
• 44:02
  will eventually regulate cryptocurrencies and then
• 44:05
  immediately replace them with Cbdc's, which lacks similar
• 44:08
  privacy and security quote. India's presidency has put on
• 44:12
  the on the table key issues related to regulating and
• 44:15
  understanding that there should be a framework for handling
• 44:19
  issues related to crypto assets. The top items discussed at the
• 44:23
  New Delhi summit including building digital public
• 44:26
  infrastructure crypto assets, UH Gita Gupta, the International
• 44:32
  Monetary Funds first Deputy Managing Director, said in a
• 44:35
  video posted on X that the G20 helped shape a global
• 44:39
  perspective on how policymakers should deal with crypto assets.
• 44:43
  Also, she also assured Business Today that there was number talk
• 44:46
  of banning crypto currencies, including a global consensus
• 44:49
  against such measures. However, some of the suggestions
• 44:52
  call for additional policy police policing of crypto
• 44:56
  policing of cryptocurrencies, which are decentralized and do
• 44:59
  not operate under central bank control.
• 45:01
  Critics say that these proposals could allow government
• 45:04
  authorities to impose a social credit score system and decide
• 45:08
  how their citizens can spend their money.
• 45:11
  So when I say Bitcoin or slavery, I am literally not
• 45:15
  exaggerating that beauty on said it best at bit block boom.
• 45:19
  When I interviewed it, I went when I had an interview with
• 45:21
  him, he says Nico, it's not Bitcoin or slavery, it is
• 45:24
  literally Bitcoin or death. They are literally telling you
• 45:27
  they're saying the quiet part out loud.
• 45:29
  And do you believe them that when they have these CBD's
• 45:33
  rolled out, they're not going to just, you know, cut, try to cut
• 45:36
  the legs off their competition, which is Bitcoin.
• 45:40
  If people had a choice between a deflationary currency that is
• 45:45
  not censored right, that is not controlled by the government,
• 45:49
  and a country that is a currency that is inflationary and is
• 45:53
  controlled and is censored by the government, what do you
• 45:57
  think people are going to choose?
• 45:59
  So governments only hope to getting people to use Cbdc's is
• 46:03
  to try to coerce them to do that.
• 46:06
  So when I say Bitcoin or slavery when beauty on says Bitcoin or
• 46:09
  death, it is not a joke. We are not being hyperbolic.
• 46:13
  This is the future ahead of us and you have to decide as an
• 46:16
  individual what future do you want to live in and what future
• 46:20
  you want your children to live in.
• 46:21
  Opti, what's your take on all this?
• 46:23
  Yeah, I mean kind of circling back.
• 46:28
  I'm really, I'm really glad we're talking about this because
• 46:31
  this is like the whole reason for this YouTube channel in
• 46:35
  general is to do our best to get outside of the Bitcoin echo
• 46:40
  chamber. I know we we constantly get crap
• 46:42
  because we're on YouTube, but we're also on rumble Bitcoin TV,
• 46:45
  you know, Twitter, we're we're using all the platforms.
• 46:48
  But we've realized one thing is like, you need to go where
• 46:51
  people are. And the most important thing as
• 46:54
  a bitcoiner is to get the Bitcoin signal outside of our
• 46:58
  little Bitcoin Twitter echo chamber.
• 47:00
  Because I think few people really, really understand the
• 47:05
  importance of a independent content creators like you guys
• 47:08
  out there have. The most powerful voice you
• 47:10
  probably have ever had because of social media, and it really
• 47:14
  is the irony's never lost on me of just like how people waste
• 47:17
  it. And and I think this is the most
• 47:19
  important thing for us to be doing, is to be talking about
• 47:21
  Bitcoin, to be talking about freedom, to be talking about the
• 47:23
  problems, but also giving people solutions.
• 47:26
  And it's just, it's so funny to me that, you know, Jordan
• 47:29
  Peterson is like, he's like this close man.
• 47:32
  Like, he's this close to getting people to just do the whole,
• 47:35
  like, beauty on thing of like, all right, look, pointing out
• 47:38
  the problems, OK, asking the rhetorical question whether
• 47:41
  Bitcoin fixes this is cool. But getting people to download
• 47:44
  Bitcoin wallets is the most important thing to be doing.
• 47:47
  And then of course, getting sizable chunks of their savings
• 47:50
  into the Bitcoin network. This is how Bitcoin adoption
• 47:53
  happens. But it really just kind of goes
• 47:56
  to. To the other Bitcoin mean, If
• 47:57
  you've been in Bitcoin for a while, you know bitcoins are
• 48:00
  always like a year or two ahead of popular content creators or
• 48:04
  like the zeitgeist. And so I remember a year or two
• 48:08
  ago, all of us bitcoiners, all we were doing on Twitter was
• 48:10
  just like the constant Bitcoin fixes this meme and we just
• 48:13
  like, quote, tweet everything wrong with the world.
• 48:15
  And we just like Bitcoin, fixes this.
• 48:16
  And it seems like Jordan Peterson's like at that point of
• 48:19
  the saga where he's like wondering whether Bitcoin
• 48:22
  actually does fix this. Because I mean, like if you have
• 48:25
  a conversation with like Gigi and John Val, it's like, of
• 48:27
  course you're going to get those seeds planted in your brain.
• 48:30
  And it's only a matter of time until they start to, you know,
• 48:34
  flourish and and become full, full, beautiful plants in his
• 48:37
  mind or however you want to take the metaphor.
• 48:39
  And so it's just. It just goes to show that you
• 48:42
  guys are ahead of the curb as a bitcoiner.
• 48:45
  You, you know, we may be, we may just be, you know, a little
• 48:50
  ahead of everyone. And it's upon us to like be good
• 48:54
  shepherds and show them that, hey, there is a fix to this.
• 48:57
  And yes, of course it is Bitcoin, but it's not so much
• 48:59
  just talking about the problems and I know a lot of people get.
• 49:03
  They get, they get stuck in like the dopamine rush of like being
• 49:06
  super smart and knowing what the problem is.
• 49:08
  And they get that audience capture.
• 49:10
  And This is why we do our best to constantly double down and
• 49:13
  tell you guys like you need to be downloading Bitcoin wallets,
• 49:16
  you need to save in Bitcoin because like look, you can
• 49:20
  either take the abuse or you opt into Bitcoin.
• 49:23
  And like, this is literally the reason for our show, the reason
• 49:27
  we designed this show in such a way so that we can survive on
• 49:31
  YouTube, so that we can hopefully get more normies to
• 49:34
  get into the Bitcoin. Ecosystem so that we can take
• 49:38
  the shit coin viewers and they come on to Bitcoin and realize
• 49:42
  that there's only Bitcoin and Bitcoin is the solution to this.
• 49:45
  And if you are just taking the abuse, you're seeing things
• 49:49
  around you. You're looking out at the world
• 49:51
  and you're seeing that the banks are de platforming, that the
• 49:54
  Federal Reserve is going to constantly debase money.
• 49:57
  You're seeing the trends. Towards a tyrannical central
• 50:01
  bank digital control mechanism. And you don't like that?
• 50:04
  Well, don't just go out on Twitter or your social media and
• 50:07
  complain about it. Take action.
• 50:09
  Today, that means saving Bitcoin.
• 50:12
  Download Bitcoin wallet, Put a sizable chunk of your savings
• 50:16
  into Bitcoin and watch as Bitcoin takes over the world.
• 50:19
  It is happening in real time. We're constantly bringing
• 50:21
  receipts to it. And Bitcoin incentives are just,
• 50:24
  they're so good, we're just, we just keep winning and yes, you
• 50:27
  know. It's been a it's been a pretty
• 50:29
  long bear market, and I'm sure there's been a lot of Bitcoin
• 50:32
  obituaries out there and people thinking bitcoins dead and all
• 50:34
  that stuff. This is just part of the
• 50:36
  process. But as you can tell, more and
• 50:38
  more people are waking up to the idea that holy shit, there is
• 50:42
  something wrong. It might be the money that is
• 50:45
  wrong, and now there's a better money.
• 50:47
  So just keep doubling down on the memes, but also.
• 50:51
  You know, showing people holding their hands, walking them
• 50:54
  through the gates of paradise, which is Bitcoin, because not
• 50:57
  everyone knows what you know you we do have asymmetric knowledge
• 51:00
  when it comes to Bitcoin and new technology scares people.
• 51:03
  People like to be comfortable. They don't want to take risks.
• 51:06
  That's the average person. The average person is
• 51:09
  comfortably asleep. Like I said last week, you know,
• 51:11
  comfortable wolves. And once they wake up, there
• 51:13
  will be a fury. There will be some vengeance.
• 51:16
  And you just we just got to protect ourselves but also help
• 51:20
  people get onto the exit boats. You know, we are on the Titanic.
• 51:24
  We have hit, we have hit the iceberg and we have Bitcoin to
• 51:27
  protect us. Like saving Bitcoin.
• 51:30
  It's so simple it it's really not that hard.
• 51:32
  You can download a wallet on your phone.
• 51:34
  You can, you can go as complicated as you want to, but
• 51:37
  keep it simple. First things first, you need to
• 51:40
  hold Bitcoin, take it off. In exchange, download a Bitcoin
• 51:43
  wallet like Blue Wallet. And saving Bitcoin control your
• 51:48
  own keys it it's really a lot easier than you may think.
• 51:51
  If you can use a cell phone, you can do an e-mail, you can use
• 51:54
  Bitcoin. Just you need to take the steps
• 51:57
  because what's the old name? It's like if you need Bitcoin,
• 52:01
  it's too late. So protect yourself.
• 52:03
  Guys like this is the time when it's the calm before the storm
• 52:07
  to be saving in Bitcoin. Because hey, if if you need
• 52:11
  Bitcoin, you probably should have got some yesterday.
• 52:13
  Anyways, Stefan, what's your thoughts?
• 52:15
  Yeah. On that note, Argentina's a good
• 52:18
  example. I think about that, even though
• 52:19
  we have examples in the US too, right.
• 52:21
  But just the government one day confiscating your money.
• 52:27
  And obviously if it was in the bank, it's easier if it was in a
• 52:30
  vault somewhere, if it was gold. So, you know, yeah, get ahead of
• 52:34
  the curve, You know it it might be good to get some Bitcoin in
• 52:38
  case it catches on. And clearly it is catching on
• 52:41
  like a wildfire everywhere. And then on the topic of, you
• 52:46
  know, Bitcoin fixes this, Sometimes people tell me, you
• 52:50
  know, friends, family, you know, maybe Bitcoin as we come off a
• 52:52
  little too hard because yeah, Bitcoin fixes this.
• 52:55
  You can talk about any topic for a while and then eventually it
• 52:58
  seems like you get to the point you're like, did you know that
• 53:00
  Bitcoin could fix this? And so I think that sometimes
• 53:05
  can seem a little like too intense.
• 53:07
  Although I know, like we all, we all think this, but so sometimes
• 53:10
  I think of, you know. Bitcoin can improve this because
• 53:14
  maybe it sounds a little too ideological to think that
• 53:17
  Bitcoin literally will fix everything and make everything
• 53:21
  perfect. And I'm pretty sure most of all
• 53:23
  don't necessarily think that maybe I'm wrong, but I I feel
• 53:27
  like we all know that it's it's going to vastly improve
• 53:32
  everything because everything is downstream for money.
• 53:35
  If you fix the money, you improve the money.
• 53:38
  Let's say everything's going to improve, you know.
• 53:42
  And then just thinking a little bit about what Miley wants to do
• 53:46
  in in Argentina, I think that most of us can say that Bitcoin
• 53:53
  is kind of when you opt into Bitcoin, it's a self restraint
• 53:58
  of yourself, right? Because you're you're deciding
• 54:02
  to spend less and saving Bitcoin for the future.
• 54:06
  So again. This has a lot of downstream
• 54:09
  effects, but you're choosing to selfconstrain yourself.
• 54:13
  So Miley in Argentina, you know, there's a lot of topics about
• 54:17
  what's going on over there, but one of the issues is trying to
• 54:19
  dollarize the sovereign debt, not necessarily impose the
• 54:23
  dollar on everybody, which is something I think a lot of
• 54:26
  people don't really understand. I'm not saying I fully
• 54:28
  understand, but essentially what he's trying to do with this is
• 54:33
  self restrain the government, right?
• 54:37
  If he plans on being part of the government, he's going to self
• 54:40
  restrain himself. So I think we can all agree
• 54:46
  that, you know, we need less, less government.
• 54:50
  Some people want to abolish it completely.
• 54:51
  You know, I'm, I'm down for that.
• 54:53
  But I also think it may be a little ideological in practice.
• 54:57
  I think it's debatable if it would be, if it would actually
• 54:59
  work. But no doubt that we need to
• 55:02
  size down government, we need to self restrain it and then.
• 55:08
  You know, same thing applies to health.
• 55:10
  You have to, you have to self restrain yourself sometimes, you
• 55:14
  know, we all want to just go out, you know, live your life,
• 55:17
  eat, maybe drink, party, whatever it is you like to do.
• 55:21
  If you like to go exercise, you can't just exercise and expend
• 55:24
  all your energy. So self restraint is good and I
• 55:29
  think that if we adopt Bitcoin, if we get more people to adopt
• 55:35
  it. Little by little, this self
• 55:37
  restraint being practiced everywhere is is going to have
• 55:43
  to bring improvements, no doubt. So that's kind of my my idea on
• 55:47
  the turn on the point of you know, Bitcoin fixes everything.
• 55:50
  Yeah, no doubt it will improve everything vastly.
• 55:54
  For everybody. For everyone, obviously, right.
• 55:57
  I like that Bitcoin improves this double down on that meme.
• 56:01
  Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 56:03
  Amen to that. All right, man, I, I Bitcoin.
• 56:06
  Bitcoin fixes everything. It's it's really, it improves
• 56:09
  everything. Nico.
• 56:11
  Bitcoin improves Bitcoin, improves Bitcoin fixes.
• 56:18
  Tomato, tomato, tomato, tomato. Let's.
• 56:21
  Get the normies, you know, maybe.
• 56:22
  OK, it improves it, you know? But yeah, no, it fixes.
• 56:28
  All right, everybody, let's get to the culture.
• 56:30
  Let's talk about Bitcoin, health, longevity and life.
• 56:34
  Let's do it. I'm hyped for it.

  Anyways, Opti, what are we talking about today, bro?
• 57:22
  All right. Yeah.
• 57:22
  Well, we got a, you know, as you can tell, we have a guest.
• 57:26
  He's a Bitcoiner, Stefan. But before we get into, you
• 57:30
  know, the health and wealth stuff.
• 57:32
  Most people are actually a lot of people.
• 57:34
  In the chat, they always like to hear a good How did you become a
• 57:37
  bitcoiner? So, Stefan, let's go from the
• 57:40
  beginning. How did you become a bitcoiner?
• 57:44
  All right. Well, I think like most people,
• 57:46
  I, you know, I've heard of Bitcoin every now and then in
• 57:48
  the past. And I kind of just, you know, I
• 57:50
  didn't, I didn't really give into it much.
• 57:53
  But then during COVID, I had just started my nursing career.
• 57:57
  I had been a nurse for a few months.
• 58:01
  And then when COVID hit, you know, it just, it just started
• 58:04
  feeling kind of weird, like it just didn't make sense.
• 58:07
  It didn't all add up. And then at that same time, you
• 58:12
  know, we had a lot of downtime. We were locked up.
• 58:15
  I I had. I had time.
• 58:16
  So I was like, I started researching.
• 58:18
  I had a cousin and two friends who I perceived as really smart
• 58:23
  guys, you know, to talk to me about Bitcoin.
• 58:25
  I'm like, you know what, I've just started making some money
• 58:28
  as a nurse. Let me.
• 58:30
  Let me, you know, save up for the future.
• 58:32
  And as I started learning more about it, it felt like what you
• 58:36
  just said off the where it seems like bitcoiners are living a
• 58:38
  year or two in the future. And at that time it was the
• 58:43
  whole topic of inflation. You know, all these bitcoiners
• 58:45
  saying, you know there's going to be inflation, Guys like it's
• 58:47
  inevitable there's going to be inflation.
• 58:49
  They're printing the shit out of this money like it's there's
• 58:52
  just going to be inflation. And it was very like.
• 58:56
  It came off even a little cocky, you know, But I was like, man,
• 58:58
  if they're so, so cocky about this, maybe, you know, and then
• 59:02
  living in Argentina and understanding a thing or two
• 59:04
  about inflation since, you know, since I was born, I was like,
• 59:08
  dude, this just makes sense. This is, if this is inevitable.
• 59:12
  And then watching, you know, Jerome Powell saying, no, we
• 59:15
  won't have inflation, you know, And then a couple months would
• 59:17
  go by and then like, oh, you know, we have a little bit of
• 59:19
  inflation. And then, oh, it's it's just
• 59:21
  transitory guys, you know? And then, oh, it's.
• 59:24
  It's turning out to be a little stickier than what we thought.
• 59:27
  You know, it's just like this, this whole thing of like they're
• 59:30
  straight up, they're lying, right?
• 59:32
  They're they're lying and there's no other.
• 59:35
  There's no other conclusion to what, you know, to what you're
• 59:38
  seeing. They're just lying.
• 59:40
  And then obviously you could debate if if they have
• 59:45
  malintention there, but yeah, at least they're trying to cover
• 59:49
  their ass and but they don't realize that they're harming
• 59:52
  people. Along the way.
• 59:54
  And they're so far removed from the reality of what inflation
• 59:56
  really does to you. So, you know, it's like, I felt
• 1:00:00
  like I was waking up to the realities of money and how like
• 1:00:03
  obviously I put in a ton of hours into learning this and I I
• 1:00:09
  have a minor degree in business. But obviously we don't talk
• 1:00:13
  about money. Actually, we just talk about all
• 1:00:15
  this other bullshit academic stuff.
• 1:00:18
  You know, Keynes, Keynesian economics, and.
• 1:00:22
  Same thing happens in healthcare.
• 1:00:23
  You know, we talked a lot about all this, this crap and
• 1:00:27
  pathophysiology of how diseases happen and stuff, but in reality
• 1:00:30
  we don't. We don't really know what's
• 1:00:32
  going on. And you know, you just have to
• 1:00:36
  kind of take a step back and you know, not get, not get
• 1:00:41
  unhealthy. So I don't know, just everything
• 1:00:44
  was happening. At the same time.
• 1:00:45
  I had a lot of downtime researching everything,
• 1:00:47
  researching COVID, seeing it happen.
• 1:00:50
  I was in the ICU seeing everything that was happening.
• 1:00:54
  I would try to sound the alarm on something sometimes.
• 1:00:57
  A couple of times I was just told to shut up and you know,
• 1:01:01
  politely. But there's this pressure to
• 1:01:03
  where you if you try to think outside the box, you know
• 1:01:06
  they're like, like, no, you can't do that.
• 1:01:10
  Patients dying alone in their rooms and me as a nurse having
• 1:01:15
  to go out, tell the parents, the parents, the family members,
• 1:01:19
  that their loved ones had passed away and I was the last person
• 1:01:23
  that they saw. And I'm like, this is pretty
• 1:01:27
  this is fucked up and there is there's actually no need for it
• 1:01:31
  to be this way. But we're just so rattled up by
• 1:01:34
  the situation. It's intentionally created in a
• 1:01:40
  more fearful way so that people will go along with it and and
• 1:01:45
  and yeah, so it was just kind of, there was a lot going on.
• 1:01:48
  It was very emotional too, I would say.
• 1:01:50
  But I think, I think both things happening kind of shaped me into
• 1:01:56
  caring about both things at the same time and just everything
• 1:02:00
  converging and seeing the correlation.
• 1:02:03
  And there's no doubt that both are equally important.
• 1:02:06
  You know, you can be super wealthy if you don't have
• 1:02:08
  health. That wealth isn't worth a damn
• 1:02:11
  thing. If you're super healthy, but
• 1:02:13
  you're broke, you don't have money to for food, for shelter.
• 1:02:17
  It's also not not worth it. So that's that's part of my my
• 1:02:22
  journey, how I got into Bitcoin. And yeah, it was, it was an
• 1:02:26
  awesome trip. And then this is my first bear
• 1:02:28
  market. Yeah, it's been pretty tough,
• 1:02:32
  but honestly, it it still makes sense.
• 1:02:34
  I'm just staying humble, stacking sats, trying to get
• 1:02:37
  people to do the same thing. And you know, at the end of the
• 1:02:40
  day, if they want to come join us.
• 1:02:43
  If you don't, well, maybe you'll realize it further down the
• 1:02:46
  line, you know? Love it.
• 1:02:48
  There's so many threads I can I can pull on in in that
• 1:02:51
  conversation. The first one though just to
• 1:02:54
  like kind of it is something we talked about here on the show
• 1:02:56
  all the time like the the tyrants and authoritarians out
• 1:02:59
  there. They're the best marketers of
• 1:03:00
  Bitcoin and the more they try to control, you know the economy
• 1:03:03
  and and not only like. Your local.
• 1:03:06
  The economy, they try to control everything.
• 1:03:08
  Yeah, exactly. That's.
• 1:03:09
  What I said they try to control everything and more people start
• 1:03:12
  to wake up to the badness. And then another thing before we
• 1:03:15
  get into like the real topic of today of health is wealth.
• 1:03:18
  Nico and I have noticed a trend. That you know, we're both
• 1:03:22
  Latinos, but we we both come from different areas and there's
• 1:03:25
  something to like people that have seen their currencies the
• 1:03:29
  base in real time or their families have seen their
• 1:03:32
  currencies the base in real time.
• 1:03:34
  Bitcoin just like instantly it just it's like it's so obvious
• 1:03:38
  to to all of us that have experienced this.
• 1:03:40
  Our families have experienced this.
• 1:03:42
  And it just goes to show that you know in the in the global
• 1:03:45
  South as as it's called, like people are going to wake up to
• 1:03:48
  Bitcoin because of the pain of their local currencies.
• 1:03:51
  But anyway, it's totally other tangent.
• 1:03:52
  Let's get into the topic of today, which I know you wanted
• 1:03:55
  to talk about as you've been telling everyone that you are in
• 1:03:58
  the healthcare system and there is the meme in the Bitcoin
• 1:04:02
  space. About like the Fiat healthcare
• 1:04:05
  system and how it's designed to keep you sick.
• 1:04:07
  And it's something we say all the time on the shows, you know,
• 1:04:10
  get fit mentally, get fit physically because you have a
• 1:04:13
  responsibility to usher in these sets.
• 1:04:16
  And this is going to be a longterm game.
• 1:04:17
  And as the meme is, you know, health as well.
• 1:04:19
  So I don't know, Stefan, where do you want to take this?
• 1:04:22
  What have you seen? Maybe not just necessarily in
• 1:04:25
  regards to the pandemic, but what are some other things that
• 1:04:28
  you seen from within the belly of the beast that is not
• 1:04:31
  designed to keep you healthy? Well, we've talked a little bit
• 1:04:35
  about healthcare. I'll, I'll chime on that a
• 1:04:37
  little bit. And then I I also want to touch
• 1:04:39
  on the Global S because I think that there's a lot to say about
• 1:04:41
  that. It kind of makes me think of
• 1:04:45
  Safe Dean's book, the Fiat Standard.
• 1:04:48
  It just describes very well how how Fiat corrupts everything.
• 1:04:53
  And I think with healthcare it's it's pretty simple.
• 1:04:56
  You know you have these clinical studies which everybody touts as
• 1:05:00
  you know like the truth right during COVID is just a really
• 1:05:04
  good example because what what always happens kind of at a
• 1:05:08
  smaller level and more covert that's it is we saw it during
• 1:05:13
  COVID that's what's always happening.
• 1:05:15
  It's just that eyes aren't always there, but it's the same
• 1:05:18
  pattern over and over again where you have right, you have
• 1:05:22
  people that are close to the money printer right, because
• 1:05:25
  funding for clinical studies is usually it's it's government
• 1:05:28
  funded so then or by pharmaceuticals obviously so
• 1:05:32
  incentives where's the incentive right to it's basically like a
• 1:05:36
  marketing APR department you know that's how they that's how
• 1:05:42
  they use it. So all their money goes towards
• 1:05:44
  that. They at the least kind of guide
• 1:05:48
  the science towards the direction where they want it to
• 1:05:51
  go so they can so they can profit right.
• 1:05:54
  It is a business and then what's difficult sometimes, obviously
• 1:06:01
  healthcare providers like me, doctors like just the the plebs
• 1:06:05
  of of Healthcare is usually, you know, well-intentioned people.
• 1:06:10
  We just want to help, we want to improve people's health.
• 1:06:13
  But then if you don't really, you know, look up at who's who's
• 1:06:18
  making all of this happen, where it comes from, where it's
• 1:06:20
  trickling down from it's it's hard to see that you might be
• 1:06:24
  doing more harm than good. And that's the point I always
• 1:06:27
  try to make. And I feel like a lot of
• 1:06:29
  healthcare providers get a little offended, like mostly
• 1:06:33
  doctors, because I'll just straight up, you know, talk shit
• 1:06:36
  sometimes, you know? But I don't mean to talk shit to
• 1:06:38
  them. It's about the profession.
• 1:06:40
  And it's my profession, too. As a nurse, we do a lot of stuff
• 1:06:43
  that's just kind of fucked up. And then it's like, you know,
• 1:06:46
  don't take it personal. I'm not talking about you, but
• 1:06:48
  if the shoe fits, if you are doing these things, if you're
• 1:06:51
  not, you know, defending your patient's advocacy and you're
• 1:06:55
  defending the pharmaceuticals interest and just telling
• 1:06:58
  everybody to get vaccines and you don't think twice about it,
• 1:07:01
  You know, I'm not, I'm not saying don't recommend them, but
• 1:07:04
  at least think about them. And then you have a lot of
• 1:07:07
  conversations with people, with healthcare professionals and you
• 1:07:09
  realize they they don't study a damn thing.
• 1:07:12
  They went to school, they finished school.
• 1:07:14
  They're just making that money. That's all they're doing.
• 1:07:17
  They're well-intentioned, but they're not.
• 1:07:19
  They're not actually continuing to learn about, you know, these
• 1:07:23
  topics. So I, I don't know, just kind of
• 1:07:27
  to wrap that up, I think that's the main issue.
• 1:07:30
  And then we could talk about this this for hours.
• 1:07:32
  But then you have a lot of healthcare professionals making
• 1:07:35
  recommendations that maybe they don't really believe in, but
• 1:07:38
  they make them because if not, you'll get flagged, right?
• 1:07:42
  You'll get, hey, shut up, man, oh, hey, you can't be saying
• 1:07:44
  that or you might get fired or you might whatever.
• 1:07:46
  So and then they're always telling you, hey, protect your
• 1:07:50
  license, you know, and that's also how they get you.
• 1:07:52
  They're they're kind of brainwashing you into say what
• 1:07:55
  we tell you to say, because if not, you're going to get in
• 1:07:58
  trouble legally. They're going to sue you.
• 1:07:59
  You know, they they they scare you.
• 1:08:02
  So I've taken the the approach of, you know what I mean?
• 1:08:06
  Obviously I value my license. I put a lot of work into it.
• 1:08:09
  But if they're going to take it, take it.
• 1:08:10
  I'll figure out something else to do.
• 1:08:12
  I'll dedicate myself full time to Bitcoin or something.
• 1:08:14
  Maybe they'll do me a favor. I'm not going to change my moral
• 1:08:20
  beliefs because of a license which is clearly, you know, at
• 1:08:25
  least tainted with a little bit. And then just going back to the
• 1:08:29
  global SA little bit, I think you 2 and I and A lot of other
• 1:08:34
  people who have a connection with the Global S Latin America,
• 1:08:38
  you know, Asia, just places where the currency is debased.
• 1:08:41
  We get to see both things. And what I feel like what I
• 1:08:45
  wanted to talk about here is I see maybe people who live in the
• 1:08:48
  US who have always been in the US we all we have like such
• 1:08:52
  privilege. Shout out to the book check your
• 1:08:54
  financial privilege by the way is a good read just just for
• 1:08:59
  being here. We we we have so much privilege
• 1:09:03
  because the US has the global reserve currency.
• 1:09:07
  It's not because we're smarter. It's not because we work harder.
• 1:09:09
  It's not because of any of that, but it's very easy to think that
• 1:09:12
  that's why it is. When you understand money, you
• 1:09:15
  realize that it's just because of where you live and because
• 1:09:19
  and how important. Having a stronger currency right
• 1:09:24
  relative to the other Fiat currencies of the dollar is
• 1:09:26
  king. Obviously nobody debates that.
• 1:09:29
  So kind of realizing that, you know, we're from there, I feel
• 1:09:35
  like it's kind of, you know, it's kind of fucked up.
• 1:09:38
  We're here enjoying this, this privilege, and we see how people
• 1:09:42
  back home suffer just because their currency is debased.
• 1:09:46
  And then on the flip side, we have people, in my case, I'll
• 1:09:49
  say Argentina. Naturally everybody tries to
• 1:09:52
  save in dollars because they know it's the stronger currency.
• 1:09:55
  It's just nobody debates that the Argentine peso sucks.
• 1:09:59
  And we all know where it's going.
• 1:10:01
  Like Greg Foss would say, it's math, you know, it's just math.
• 1:10:04
  Learn math, you guys. But then the weird thing is, I
• 1:10:07
  thought people would be very accepting, accepting of Bitcoin.
• 1:10:12
  But I guess there is a little fear to us.
• 1:10:14
  It's very clear that by the same rationale, just like the peso is
• 1:10:18
  shit and the dollar is less shit, that's why people choose
• 1:10:22
  it. By the same principle of just
• 1:10:24
  math and inflation of the currency, Bitcoin, by not being
• 1:10:29
  able to be inflated it is better, right?
• 1:10:32
  It's it's just obviously orders of magnitude better.
• 1:10:36
  For some reason though, people have a hard time I would say
• 1:10:39
  really just accepting Bitcoin and saying, hey, yeah, like the
• 1:10:43
  same reason why I buy dollars is why I should maybe get into
• 1:10:47
  Bitcoin. It's the same rationale.
• 1:10:49
  I think there's fear. People do fear the government.
• 1:10:52
  They're convinced that the government will Co opt that
• 1:10:56
  somehow they won't let us have it.
• 1:10:58
  They won't let us do it, they won't let it, you know, succeed.
• 1:11:02
  But that to me is just probably a lack of of knowledge on
• 1:11:08
  Bitcoin. And we have to, you know, try to
• 1:11:11
  share that as as best as possible.
• 1:11:14
  And I think eventually it'll start ringing true to people.
• 1:11:18
  And the writing is on the wall. We're seeing all these things
• 1:11:20
  happen everywhere. It is being adopted more little
• 1:11:23
  by little. So, but yeah, just to wrap it
• 1:11:28
  up, I feel like Americans need to look at, you know, less
• 1:11:32
  fortunate countries and realize that the money is the issue.
• 1:11:35
  It's just very clear and this financial colonial colonialism
• 1:11:39
  that the US practices all over the world benefits the citizens
• 1:11:43
  too. And as citizens who benefit from
• 1:11:48
  this, and if we are trying to create a better world, we have
• 1:11:50
  to like think about the people back home.
• 1:11:53
  And I don't know, that's kind of what keeps me running and is
• 1:11:56
  what makes me want to go back to Argentina and share this with
• 1:11:59
  people and be like, you know, just help people set up their
• 1:12:02
  wallets, talk to them about it. And you know, usually it makes
• 1:12:05
  sense, but yeah, we're, we're there.
• 1:12:08
  There's a lot of shit Coinery out there and like, I I just
• 1:12:10
  can't get people off finance. I can't get them away from
• 1:12:13
  Ethereum. I can't, you know?
• 1:12:15
  But I'm like, well, it'll make sense at some point.
• 1:12:18
  We've all done a little bit of Shit Coinery.
• 1:12:20
  And on that same note, Shit Coinery, you're profiting off of
• 1:12:27
  somebody else. Which again, is just the same
• 1:12:30
  financial system that we have, the US profiting off of other
• 1:12:33
  countries, U.S. citizens profiting off of that same
• 1:12:37
  financial system. And then when you're selling,
• 1:12:41
  you know, when you're dumping that shit coin, you're profiting
• 1:12:44
  off of some other dweeb that that bought it at the top.
• 1:12:47
  And like, like, that's fucked up, man.
• 1:12:50
  If if that's how you want to make your money, then have at
• 1:12:53
  it. But, you know, from a moral
• 1:12:56
  standpoint, I don't think there's a debate there.
• 1:12:58
  And if you know, we all want a better world, I think we all
• 1:13:01
  want equality. This is base layer equality for
• 1:13:06
  everyone from the get go from the from the foundations, equal
• 1:13:11
  for everybody. And yeah, the equality will stem
• 1:13:16
  from there on out. We can't impose the equality,
• 1:13:19
  which is something that that we see happening everywhere.
• 1:13:22
  And yeah man, thanks for letting me rant.
• 1:13:24
  Now I love it, Stefan, and I just want to, you know, just at
• 1:13:29
  the. Consequence of time here I I'm
• 1:13:31
  just, it keeps blowing them, blowing me away that we've all
• 1:13:34
  come to the same shelling point. And it's just like it just goes
• 1:13:37
  to show that the Bitcoin content out there, the Bitcoin signals
• 1:13:40
  so strong and it's getting better and better overtime and
• 1:13:43
  we're all just kind of waking up to the same thing.
• 1:13:45
  And it doesn't matter how long it takes you, we all kind of
• 1:13:48
  come back to what we say all the time like it's the money.
• 1:13:51
  Like, understand that money is the base problem, it's broken.
• 1:13:56
  And try to position yourself in such a way that you can hold the
• 1:14:00
  best money possible in a way that you can, you know, feel,
• 1:14:03
  feel good about. Because this is all we're doing
• 1:14:05
  here is just trying to spread that signal, get more people to
• 1:14:09
  wake up to what is going on. And I think slowly but surely,
• 1:14:11
  people are waking up to this. And of course, it's not
• 1:14:14
  happening as fast as maybe everyone would want it to
• 1:14:16
  happen. But you know, like Stefan, I
• 1:14:19
  think you're just a perfect example of, like, slowly but
• 1:14:21
  surely individuals are waking up.
• 1:14:23
  Whatever, whatever the the mechanism, whatever it is that
• 1:14:27
  one defining moment to wake someone up.
• 1:14:30
  Once you wake up and you see the problem, it's like almost
• 1:14:32
  impossible to go back to the normal world.
• 1:14:35
  It's it's, you know, it's the matrix me 100.
• 1:14:38
  Percent 1,000,000% Think you hit the nail on the head and you
• 1:14:42
  know, with Bitcoin. Bitcoin is that hope.
• 1:14:45
  Like Bitcoin is that hope for people all around the world
• 1:14:48
  specifically. Nor, I mean 100%.
• 1:14:53
  We don't. Most people don't understand.
• 1:14:55
  And I'm glad that you brought up the the book Check your
• 1:14:58
  financial privilege like most people do not understand.
• 1:15:02
  What? That you you cannot live.
• 1:15:04
  You, you, you do not have hope for saving for the future, much
• 1:15:09
  less starting a business anything.
• 1:15:11
  You're just trying to maintain some semblance of your
• 1:15:15
  purchasing power so that you can even just put food on the table.
• 1:15:18
  And you know, like that's why it's.
• 1:15:21
  I found it so despicable when organizations like the IMF.
• 1:15:25
  With, you know, part of the bailout that what part of the
• 1:15:27
  conditions that they gave to Argentina with the bailout was
• 1:15:30
  that they had to deincentivize the adoption of alternatives,
• 1:15:33
  the adoption of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.
• 1:15:36
  Like you know who, who is, Who is the IMF really, you know,
• 1:15:40
  looking out for. I think they're looking out for
• 1:15:42
  themselves and and the Alex Gladstein also wrote a book
• 1:15:46
  about this called Hidden Repression, which I highly
• 1:15:48
  recommend. So yeah, man, but you know, this
• 1:15:51
  is the 4th turning. This is, this is crazy.
• 1:15:54
  This is the separation of money and state.
• 1:15:56
  Hopefully it's a lot less bloody and violent at the separation of
• 1:15:59
  church and state. So, you know, take your Bitcoin
• 1:16:02
  into self custody, bunker down and hold on for the ride.
• 1:16:06
  They don't call the Bitcoin roller coaster for no reason.
• 1:16:08

  As you can tell, we are in an information war and all we can
• 1:17:34
  do is try to wake up more soldiers out there and plant.
• 1:17:38
  The ideas of Freedom money into their mind.
• 1:17:40
  Anyways, this 1st meme I really like this one.
• 1:17:43
  I don't know this might be a little too too over the Overton
• 1:17:47
  window for Nico, but this is Petra Core aka at 1E9 Petra Core
• 1:17:52
  on Twitter and he goes mood and it goes.
• 1:17:55
  What day is it today as poo? And Piglet responds with It's
• 1:17:59
  the day we burn this motherfucking slavery matrix
• 1:18:01
  down to the ground and poo goes that's my favorite day.
• 1:18:04
  Me too, Pooh bear. Me too.
• 1:18:06

  candles. And it goes, you wake up and see
• 1:18:21
  this. What are you doing?
• 1:18:22
  And I really wanted to bring this on because I was having a
• 1:18:24
  conversation with my mom. About like what?
• 1:18:27
  Like, even if you were given $10 million tomorrow, like, what
• 1:18:29
  would you do? And I'm like, I'd probably just,
• 1:18:32
  like, buy more Bitcoin, you know, like I'd give you guys
• 1:18:35
  some money. Like, like, my life wouldn't
• 1:18:38
  change too much if I was given that much money tomorrow.
• 1:18:41
  It's just like, this is what his bitcoiners have done to
• 1:18:44
  ourselves. It's we have created a life for
• 1:18:46
  us. We're like, we don't really want
• 1:18:48
  too much. Like we we want to see the Fiat
• 1:18:50
  matrix burn. That's what we want.
