- 0:30CK. What's going on man?
- 0:31Courtney Kerr is Nico, what's up?
- 0:33It was great seeing you guys last week.
- 0:35That was a lot of fun. Sweet.
- 0:38All right. We're gonna we're gonna dive
- 0:39into that but I'm sure a little bit later but right now we're
- 0:42going to the numbers Nika, brought to you by not all they
- 0:47make some of the best Bitcoin nodes like the famous novel
- 0:52Dojo, it's in red. Yes, that means it's faster.
- 0:55If you don't run your own node, you're using someone else's
- 0:58reclaim ownership. Of your money.
- 1:01Run Bitcoin, core lightning Network, its privacy.
- 1:05Focus remove third parties from the equation.
- 1:07Completely get yourself. A novel node today.
- 1:12At the time of this recording, the block height is 730. 1732
- 1:16bitcoin price forty one thousand forty chain rewrite days. 750,
- 1:21total public lightning capacity, 3600 1972.
- 1:26Moscow, time, 2437 walks to the having a, huh?
- 1:29Goodnight, 1268 end the samurai Whirlpool unspent capacity,
- 1:35Samurai Whirlpool is a coin join or collaborative spend service.
- 1:39It is not a mixing service and the capacity in that pool is
- 1:444530 3.40. Nico, the numbers, the numbers,
- 1:50the numbers. So last week was in my opinion,
- 1:55obviously CK was, you know, he was part of he was Part of
- 2:00putting this together. So round of applause for CK real
- 2:03quick. That was an awesome.
- 2:05Awesome conference. He was awesome host.
- 2:06Man. He was running around.
- 2:07He was looking good. He was all dressed up looking
- 2:09like to the nines man looking good.
- 2:11He was so I'm gonna ask what you're saying that because I
- 2:13don't dress up. So I'm going to ask a couple
- 2:15questions as is as it relates to the conference.
- 2:17First of all dude that was awesome that I call a Bitcoin
- 2:20Super Bowl week because that's really what it feels like
- 2:23there's a bunch of satellite events, you know everywhere you
- 2:26guys had the kind of the Super Bowl booth in front of the okay.
- 2:30No kind of you know, live covering which was pretty
- 2:32awesome. I'll pop up a picture so you
- 2:34guys know what I'm talking about but CK so there's there was
- 2:37estimated to be twenty. Five thousand attendees.
- 2:42You have any other interesting stats that you can hit us with
- 2:45that the plebs would appreciate Manuel biggest Bitcoin event,
- 2:49ever biggest event ever in the space and it was just epic
- 2:53putting it on for those who were there during sound money.
- 2:57Fest. It was really surreal to just
- 2:59see Like the main stage in the outside stage, the Satoshi
- 3:02stage, like completely packed for some of the headline acts.
- 3:07And I don't know, it's just really breathtaking to to put on
- 3:12obviously like, you know, some things didn't go.
- 3:14Well, there's a lot to improve, but, you know, we're able to get
- 3:1917,000 people in on day one, without any major lines, which
- 3:24was a huge, huge improvement from last year.
- 3:27The venue I think was really incredible.
- 3:29The production Value is incredible.
- 3:31And I think the major theme that I took away from this event,
- 3:34which is something that bitcoiners already know, but you
- 3:37know, the world now knows it even more.
- 3:39It's like, legitimisation of Bitcoin, right?
- 3:41The event itself, you know, was a multimillion-dollar events.
- 3:45There's a lot of money invest into the night.
- 3:47It was a really big deal for the City of Miami.
- 3:50The city of Miami Beach. The police paramedics, everyone.
- 3:54You know that the city could put towards and resource towards the
- 3:58event. Were there and, you know, I
- 4:01think that that leaves a massive massive impression on the people
- 4:04who are not, you know, convicted members of Bitcoin who know that
- 4:07Bitcoin is legitimizing, interesting, stat.
- 4:11In the main stage area, we had over 15,000 seats there.
- 4:16And if you paid attention to the seats, they were different
- 4:19colors because they didn't have enough white seats for for our
- 4:24main stage area. We use every single white chair
- 4:28in Miami and then we Use all the old white chairs and then we
- 4:32broke into the wooden chairs and and, you know, there was black
- 4:37plastic chairs, like there was, there was a host of different,
- 4:41you know, chair colors, obviously, they all match right
- 4:43next to each other but we used every single rentable chair
- 4:48possible in the city of Miami. All the main stage.
- 4:50So that was an interesting little fact.
- 4:52Yeah, no, and I noticed that too when I was like, maybe they're
- 4:55doing is for organizational purposes.
- 4:58Maybe. But the way that you guys
- 4:59Organized because they, you know, they kind of leveled, it
- 5:02offers the white chairs and you know then.
- 5:05So I thought things out Mitch mismatching a charity, you know,
- 5:08we didn't want it to like change colors in between that would
- 5:10look really sloppy. But yeah, that we that we
- 5:13literally like we like we prefer this chair and then we like
- 5:15ordered all of them, like, wait, we need 8,000 more chairs in
- 5:19your out. Like there's not one more of
- 5:21these like in the in the area and then we just had to go
- 5:24deeper into their inventory. So do you seek a?
- 5:27Do you believe mirrors mayor? Our Suarez, when he says that he
- 5:32envisions and I know this was all part of the bull unveiling
- 5:37ceremony. Do you believe that Miami?
- 5:39And this is very special for me to say this because I grew up in
- 5:42Miami myself, right? In fact, I think I was one of
- 5:45the only speakers that came from Miami, which was pretty surreal,
- 5:49for me. But CK, do you believe that
- 5:52Miami is going to become the new kind of financial Capital
- 5:58Financial Bitcoin. The world.
- 6:02I mean I think it's still early to tell but what we live in a
- 6:08world now where there is jurisdictional arbitrage that
- 6:11are city-state, there are City competition and mayor Suarez /.
- 6:17The city of Miami are way ahead of the pack in terms of even
- 6:21playing the game. Most people aren't playing the
- 6:24game or if they're like people in, you know, if they're like
- 6:27the city of San Francisco there or New York City or Chicago,
- 6:31they're shooting themselves in the foot.
- 6:32It without like at the starting line there at the starting line,
- 6:35they're shooting themselves in the foot and then they're about
- 6:38to get in the race. Meanwhile, Miami is running.
- 6:40So I think Miami Austin, obviously I'm moving to
- 6:44Nashville. So I'm on team Nashville.
- 6:46They are all, they're all pushing forward in the race.
- 6:50Miami is in a great position. Obviously, they've been a
- 6:52fantastic host for Bitcoin 21 and Bitcoin 2022.
- 6:56And you know, I love the optionality, that Miami is off.
- 7:02Whirring to bitcoiners and it's a fun place man.
- 7:05It's a lot of fun and it's awesome to see Miami going after
- 7:08New York. You know, there's already this
- 7:10kind of like Miami to New York connection, you know, it's a
- 7:13place where a lot of New Yorkers like to Vacation, take time off,
- 7:16do business, that kind of thing and Miami is just going for the
- 7:20neck of New York City so you love to see it.
- 7:23I hope that New York responds and cleans our actor because I
- 7:25personally like to New York before I turned into a
- 7:28totalitarian hellhole that it is today like it was actually a fun
- 7:32spot. To go hang out.
- 7:34But yeah, I mean let's go. Miami love to see it.
- 7:37Absolutely. And my bets are in Miami for,
- 7:39you know, I might be a little bit biased but very bullish.
- 7:43Very, very bullish on my hometown.
- 7:45So you actually mentioned something really interesting
- 7:47which is this concept of judicial Arbitrage.
- 7:49And if you understand, you've been watching this show, we
- 7:51recommend a very specific book and we recommend it all the
- 7:55freaking time, which is the sovereign individual.
- 7:58And they talked about that, There you go.
- 8:02There you stuck. Yeah.
- 8:04The best by katori reading for any Bitcoin.
- 8:06It is a mess story reading for every Bible of bitcoiners.
- 8:10There you go. Absolutely and we're starting
- 8:12and it's in, it's striking how accurate this book has
- 8:17essentially predicted because of essentially, the Advent of semi
- 8:22semiconductor technology and how that is going to help
- 8:26individuals reclaim their sovereignty.
- 8:29Right. So, Is that how does that make
- 8:32you feel, man? Is it crazy watching this play
- 8:35out and perhaps you can get a little bit of insights on how
- 8:38you see this moving forward. How do you see this going moving
- 8:41forward? And it is incredible seeing it.
- 8:44And the thing that is most incredible is that like anyone
- 8:47can play the jurisdictional Arbitrage game, but guess who's
- 8:50playing at the best bitcoiners? Right?
- 8:54Where everyone in the world can do this.
- 8:56This is not open to, you know, there's not constrained to any
- 8:59like, obviously, there are constraints, but here are
- 9:02bitcoiners, like bitcoiners are the ones who are changing laws
- 9:06in El Salvador for, you know what they, what they appreciate,
- 9:10right? So like for example, like most
- 9:12bitcoiners are not fans of covid.
- 9:14Restrictions that has nothing to do with Bitcoin, El Salvador
- 9:18implemented, the standard covid restrictions that a lot of
- 9:21countries did bitcoiners didn't like that.
- 9:24And then, El Salvador change their laws.
- 9:27Like guys, this is jurisdictional competition that
- 9:30they talked about in the book, like it's happening.
- 9:33And guess who's playing a part bitcoiners?
- 9:35If that, that is our Alpha guys, that's our Alpha.
- 9:38Like we are the only ones playing this.
- 9:40This is part of the future. Again, the book was published in
- 9:431997. If you read it, your jaw will
- 9:45drop a like every single thing that they talked about and then
- 9:48it happens and Bitcoins. One of them pandemic response.
- 9:53Related lock down to one of them.
- 9:56Jurisdictional competition is one of them.
- 10:00There's so many things that they nailed and we are at the center
- 10:04of it. We should feel good.
- 10:06It should make us feel confident.
- 10:07We should keep stacking and maybe we should start focusing
- 10:09in on. How do we protect our stack?
- 10:12How do we put ourselves in position where we are modular
- 10:15and we can change jurisdictions because there might be a time
- 10:19where that's actually important and just like Bitcoin You need
- 10:24it, it's too late. You need to get it before before
- 10:26you need it. Absolutely.
- 10:28And and just to add to see Kay's point right?
- 10:31Bitcoin will be said this many times Bitcoin, not only gives
- 10:35you the power to vote with your wallet, but it also gives you
- 10:39the power to vote with your feet.
- 10:41But only, if you take freaking self custody, I don't know how
- 10:45many times I have to tell you guys.
- 10:48Okay, so CK, I'm obviously what, you know, I'm very excited for
- 10:52next year's conference And I heard you guys just drop tickets
- 10:56where can everybody get them tickets to bitcoin 2023?
- 11:01And I know it's too early to tell but, you know, maybe you
- 11:05can give us a little bit of an inside scoop for the plebs.
- 11:08And where's the location going to be?
- 11:14Yeah, yeah, also beat at TC 4 / conference 4/20 23 is where you
- 11:20can find the landing page for next year's event.
- 11:24GA tickets are currently available for $229 and the,
- 11:28well, passes are 499. So both steep discounts on what
- 11:33prices close that at the end of the event, or right before the
- 11:37event. But y'all got to get your
- 11:39tickets and in terms of when and where it's going to be, I
- 11:43Really, really hope that it's sometime in April.
- 11:45So we get a whole year to plan this bad boy because man A lot
- 11:49has to go into planning it and which jurisdiction?
- 11:53I have no idea. I think we're definitely opening
- 11:56up two pitches from different cities.
- 11:58This event is now big enough that different cities.
- 12:00It behooves them to contact us to try to get us to move there,
- 12:04but I have to be honest, if it was up to me, I would do Miami
- 12:08Beach Convention Center, just like we did again.
- 12:10So I thought that the, the venue was incredible.
- 12:13I thought that the The the one-two punch of the Miami Beach
- 12:16Convention Center and pride park with the Satoshi stage built,
- 12:20there was a lot of fun. I think that there's a lot of
- 12:22opportunity. I thought gee logistically.
- 12:25It everything went really smooth, so there's a lot to love
- 12:29about Miami. There's a lot to love about
- 12:31Miami Beach Convention Center but of course hey I'm not the
- 12:35one making the decisions. I'm just here saying my opinion
- 12:38so don't count on that just yet until we officially announce a
- 12:42location and a day. But yeah, I mean, I thought that
- 12:45this year, the the logistics of Miami Beach can mention, sir was
- 12:49awesome. And hey, my Amy keeps leaning
- 12:52in. They keep wanting to help us and
- 12:55be a part of it. They're literally the opposite
- 12:57of Los Angeles where we try to have Bitcoin 2020.
- 13:00And I mean, you love to see jurisdictions.
- 13:03I want to work with you. Absolutely, you hear that?
- 13:06Mayor Suarez? You follow me, don't let it slip
- 13:09out of your hands have Bitcoin 2023.
- 13:12Back in Miami. But anyways CK I appreciate the
- 13:15Insight. Like I said, awesome event.
- 13:18That was the biggest Bitcoin celebration conference ever.
- 13:21It was badass. You guys are going to want to go
- 13:23next year to bitcoin 2023. Anyways Phil it's time for the
- 13:28daily fail. Brought to you by Ember app.
- 13:31Check them out. Amber dot app, low fees, Fair
- 13:36spreads smart, automation stack, the shift.
- 13:40The link is down below smart ways.
- 13:43Sets before we, before we dive into the, the first story for
- 13:48the fail. I just, I just want to remind
- 13:51everyone that etherium has been promising to move to proof of
- 13:57stake since 2016. Okay, I just I do this is going
- 14:01to be it. Anyways, one this is one of the
- 14:03it's just as one of the, it's okay.
- 14:06So, let's let's dive into this. This was okay.
- 14:08So, niconico was nice enough to tag me in this because I totally
- 14:12miss this, okay? And this is a tweet from a
- 14:15fellow Bitcoin or here, let me just make the screen bigger
- 14:18because I'm blind. There we go and help everyone
- 14:20else out. Okay, so here we go.
- 14:22So this is a tweet from Sir Ulrich.
- 14:23We got to meet him this this last week.
- 14:26Cool, dude. So here we go.
- 14:27All wreck. He's my boy.
- 14:30Great contributor to bitcoin magazine as well.
- 14:32He's coming people man, next month cool.
- 14:36Yeah, alright, so yeah, well, he anyway so he put this he put
- 14:40this thread out there and let's take a look at this, right?
- 14:43Laughs out. I'll delete again, they should
- 14:45just admit. They don't want to change to
- 14:47proof of stake. So he's citing a, you know, an
- 14:49article over here Theory emerge pushed to Q3 as final chapter of
- 14:54proof-of-work. Looms.
- 14:57Listen to that language, right? And then then he tweeted out
- 15:02this article from coin desk, etherium, merge.
- 15:04No longer expected in June. You know, something guys, we are
- 15:11very surprised, we're very surprised by this.
- 15:14They haven't been kicking, the can down the road since 2016.
- 15:17So this is very shocking to us. Let's dive into this, this
- 15:20little article. Here we go, theorem core
- 15:22developer. Tim bico confirmed in a tweet
- 15:25Tuesday that the long-awaited aetherium merge will come later
- 15:29than expected. Instead of June beko said the
- 15:32Network's transition to proof of stake is more likely to come in
- 15:37the few months. After I'm betting, it's not
- 15:41coming in the few months, after pretty sure it's coming in the
- 15:45Never After. Anyways, there's move to proof
- 15:48of stake or users preserve the ability to secure the network by
- 15:51staking is expected to cut. The Network's energy costs by
- 15:5699% and make it easier for the theory of the scale.
- 15:59You see how they just say that shit and there's absolutely
- 16:02nothing to cite it like they don't even give you a link to
- 16:04cite some type of an actual you know an actual objective study
- 16:08that You can look at there's nothing because this is smoke,
- 16:11and mirrors, and bullshit. Okay, building out a new
- 16:15consensus mechanism for a theorem.
- 16:17I want you to think about this building out a new consensus
- 16:20mechanisms. Very interesting language comes
- 16:22with significant complexity, in addition, to introducing a host
- 16:25of engineering challenges, etherium proof of stake or piece
- 16:28of shit. Model will add a new set of Game
- 16:31Theory, mechanics to ensure Network validators act in good
- 16:35faith, building out a new Since this mechanism so proof of stake
- 16:41was successfully done in 2012. So I'm not really sure exactly
- 16:46what this new mechanism, they think they're doing, but this is
- 16:51complete bullshit. We told you that there wasn't
- 16:53going to be a Splurge emerge, a virgin whatever-the-hell, stupid
- 16:57rhyming word, that these people come up with none of this is
- 17:01happening, okay? They just have thirty three
- 17:03billion dollars locked into this side shit chain, that's going
- 17:06nowhere and you're just stuck holding a bag thinking.
- 17:08Seeing all of this Tech needs to be money.
- 17:11Anyways, before we dive into the really cringe article believe it
- 17:14or not, it gets crazier. What, you know what?
- 17:16CK? Before we go to Nico, what are
- 17:18your thoughts? Oh, man.
- 17:20Well, I have to give you all credit the clip of y'all
- 17:23reaction to the Telex roadmap about The Verge, the merge, the
- 17:27Splurge, whatever, that that won the internet for like at least a
- 17:33month afterwards. So, so one of them is so one of
- 17:35the best like, you know, you shouldn't you should just play
- 17:37it right here. I want to show Everyone this
- 17:39this roadmap, right? Because remember, they want to
- 17:42get the terminology right? They want to make sure they're
- 17:45not confusing anyone. So, take a look at this.
- 17:48This is after it all happens. Nico.
- 17:49This is after they do the thing that I just told you about,
- 17:51what? The eith 1 and E 2, consensus
- 17:53and execution, you've got the merge and then then you've got
- 17:57the surge then when that's over, we've got the verge And then the
- 18:04purge. But wait, what's coming?
- 18:08This display are honestly fire.
- 18:20But look, you go over the numbers.
- 18:24At the beginning, the difference between Bitcoin and ethereum is
- 18:27when you look at Bitcoins monetary policy, its this step
- 18:31function. And then when you look at a
- 18:33Involuntary policy. It's like this and then in the
- 18:36future it goes to do, right? Like they project in the future,
- 18:40it's going to be perfect. All of the past has no, you
- 18:43know, shows that in no way. So when we're going over the
- 18:47numbers it was like a hundred and eight thousand blocks and
- 18:52and some change until until the next having you know with
- 18:56Bitcoin it is known. That's what you're buying.
- 18:58That's the difference. So it's like this thing is is
- 19:01known that consensus. Mechanism.
- 19:04There is consensus upon it and that is not going to change and
- 19:09you know we're not introducing anything new that we need to
- 19:12make consensus over, you know. And yeah, I mean I think they're
- 19:17the only thing that's more expected and more clerk.
- 19:21Could be get to as close as well known as Bitcoins monetary
- 19:25policy is the fact that once again, the merge will be
- 19:29delayed, and that proof of stake will be delayed.
- 19:32It goes the most expect. You know, the most expected
- 19:34thing is Bitcoin will have 21 million Bitcoins Etc.
- 19:38And that a theory as will be ethereum.
- 19:40The merge and POS will continue to be delayed.
- 19:43Absolutely man. It dude, I just don't think it's
- 19:48possible. Number one and the worst part
- 19:50about this is that, you know, the cleaning up crypto, you
- 19:55know, panel in front of Congress, you know, the attacks
- 19:58by, you know, the world economic Forum the attacks by, you know,
- 20:02the the Is that I believe have nefarious intentions.
- 20:06They all say, hey, hey they keep mentioning proof of stake, but
- 20:12there still isn't a working proof of stake coin, right?
- 20:16So it's just absolutely hilarious.
- 20:18I suspect, you know, they're going to keep delaying this
- 20:21because it's just gonna is, it's just it's so it's easier to sell
- 20:26a future thing. That's perfect.
- 20:27Then a real thing that's not perfect.
- 20:30Correct. And they and they keep
- 20:31introducing new bugs everywhere. Bug that they introduce is worse
- 20:35than the other one. So, yeah.
- 20:37Anyways, okay, get ready. Get ready, guys.
- 20:41Because we've seen a lot of we've seen a lot of really
- 20:43dangerous narratives, right? So far.
- 20:46I mean, in the last two years, you know, and simply Bitcoin.
- 20:48We always we always cover this how the narratives are shifting
- 20:50right Bitcoins for illegal activities, it's for criminals
- 20:54then all of a sudden, boom, it's boiling the oceans, right?
- 20:57That's you know, Roger ver, we're killing babies, all of
- 21:00this stuff but but we've never Ben.
- 21:04We've never been attacked like this before.
- 21:06Okay? Now now we're getting
- 21:08psychological on everyone, right?
- 21:11It's getting psychological warfare Bitcoin.
- 21:15Fans are psychopaths who don't care about any one study shows.
- 21:20That's right, we're all Psychopaths, I embrace that, I
- 21:25am so honored I'm honored and and it's according to scientist
- 21:29You know, what? It's that.
- 21:30You know. That's the key Nico.
- 21:32It is according to scientists, right?
- 21:34This was, this was a deep deep study filled with details.
- 21:38All right, let's go. The average Bitcoin investor is
- 21:41a calculating psychopath with an inflated ego, according to
- 21:45scientists. Now at the same time, I just
- 21:48picture mad Odell saying Stacks at stay humble, right?
- 21:52So like that that's just kind of sticks in the back of my mind.
- 21:57All of this. Talk about humility from from
- 21:59Going, okay? And the amount of bitcoiners
- 22:02that we met that are truly just down-to-earth people.
- 22:05So I find that part of it amusing and funny but I digress,
- 22:08right? That that that's a small group,
- 22:10you know, I could be wrong. The rest of us could be psychos.
- 22:13Anyways, surveyed more than 500 people to uncover.
- 22:16The personality traits that are most common among crypto nuts,
- 22:22okay? They identified that many
- 22:23investors exhibit, signs of the dark tetrad a group of four
- 22:28unsavory Traits made up of narcissism machiavellianism
- 22:32psychopathy and sadism that means dark tetrads.
- 22:38Have an inflated sense of self-importance and derive
- 22:41pleasure from the pain of others.
- 22:43So I want you to think about how much time we spend warning
- 22:45people not getting rug pulled right?
- 22:49Like we don't want people to get screwed and this implies the
- 22:52complete opposite. But I'm just saying again, we're
- 22:55just, you know, we're just a couple of people, maybe we're
- 22:56not, you know, we are not. The majority.
- 23:00Anyways, dark tetrad traits are dark because of their evil
- 23:04qualities, extreme selfishness and taking advantage of others
- 23:08without empathy. I want you to think about Fiat
- 23:11dollars for a second. Okay they print Ad nauseam.
- 23:14We have zero freaking say in the value in the value erosion of
- 23:19our dollars but yet bitcoiners bitcoiners are the ones who are
- 23:23taking advantage of others without empathy.
- 23:26What do you think about that? Very, very interesting.
- 23:29Okay. And again right most the only
- 23:31mentioned Bitcoin at the beginning of this article and
- 23:33then the rest of the time it's crypto.
- 23:35So here we go. Are if yes, if you grow up to
- 23:37where it says highlighted crypto, it literally says
- 23:40Machiavellian who are good at Deception, take a calculator
- 23:43probe to achieving goals like crypto primary because they
- 23:47trust the distrust politicians and government agencies.
- 23:51These are the same government agencies that have been telling
- 23:54you that there is no inflation and I and correct me if I'm
- 23:58wrong. Believe that bitcoiners were
- 24:01some of the we were the most accurate on that because of the
- 24:04record amount of money printing. So it's like man, it's like even
- 24:07though we fucked you really hard, keep believing in us
- 24:11because if not you're a psycho, this is correct.
- 24:17Good catch by the way. So here we go.
- 24:19Narcissist on the other hand are drawn to the technology because
- 24:23they tend to focus on the positive side of life.
- 24:25So so somehow what you guys think about this, right?
- 24:28If you're not afraid Afraid and, and totally broken down by the
- 24:33system and depressed. Then there's something wrong
- 24:36with you. Okay, there's something wrong
- 24:39with you. You're a narcissist, you're a
- 24:42narcissist. Okay.
- 24:43Anyways, the researchers found that narcissist like crypto
- 24:47because of their great faith in the future and confidence that
- 24:50their own lives will improve that is just awful.
- 24:56Your life should never improve you should just stay down.
- 24:59Sticks. Okay, so let's just quickly go
- 25:02take a look here, such traits of psychopaths, socially
- 25:05irresponsible Behavior, disregarding or violating the
- 25:07rights of others, inability to distinguish between right and
- 25:10wrong difficulty. With showing remorse or empathy.
- 25:12Tendency to lie, often manipulating and hurting others,
- 25:16reoccurring problems with the law General, disregard towards
- 25:19safety and responsibility. Now, don't get me wrong.
- 25:21This kind of sounds like Central Bankers.
- 25:23This kind of sounds like, politicians.
- 25:26This doesn't sound like the average Bitcoin or to me, but I
- 25:29digress. All right, so the other piece to
- 25:32this is I decided to take a look and figure out, all right.
- 25:35Well, what percentage of people are actual, you know,
- 25:39narcissists. Right.
- 25:41So I anyways, I have to go dig on cora but take a look at this.
- 25:44At least 15% of the United States.
- 25:45Is pathological, that is to say, 15% of the population is either
- 25:49a psychopath, a sociopath, or a narcissist, and the number may
- 25:52be even higher than that. It's actually impossible to say
- 25:56the exact percentage of each, because sociopaths don't usually
- 25:59go to get treatment. And they don't become
- 26:02statistics. All of this to say, guys all of
- 26:05this to say, this is a bullshit article.
- 26:09This is a bullshit nonsensical article.
- 26:12And I, I just I got to applaud the creativity of these clowns
- 26:18to come up with something like this to attempt to discredit
- 26:22bitcoiners specifically. Okay?
- 26:24Because this type of behavior, this type of optimistic behavior
- 26:28that the future is going to get better is not only Assured by
- 26:30bitcoiners. It's shared by optimists.
- 26:33In general. They may not be bitcoiners, they
- 26:35may just be optimistic Phil, I'm not.
- 26:37Okay, I'm gonna stop you there. Clearly, you're a narcissistic
- 26:41psychopath according to the credentialed scientists.
- 26:44Okay. What are your thoughts on this?
- 26:47Oh man. Well honestly y'all were a
- 26:51little bit more forgiving to the people in the survey than I was
- 26:54when I first read it. I was like men.
- 26:56They interviewed a bunch of crypto people and those are
- 27:00Those aren't Bitcoin people. So you know, if they are in
- 27:04fact, narcissist and Psychopaths like I'm sure that's very
- 27:07prevalent in the altcoin space. And like, you two have done many
- 27:10times, a lot of Bitcoins have done bitcoiners care.
- 27:13Deeply some many times to a fault about preventing people
- 27:18from getting rekt. So, personally for me, you know,
- 27:22I've learned to just, you know, Express what I do.
- 27:26You know, really my line at this point is like yeah, Bitcoin
- 27:28early but that's just what I do with my money.
- 27:30You know, you could do whatever you want with your money.
- 27:33So you know, I try to lead by example and yeah I mean I don't
- 27:39know if I think that when it comes to these these articles
- 27:44that are bullshit, the studies are bullshit if they interviewed
- 27:48people all about crypto and they're narcissists.
- 27:50Like they clearly don't know the distinction between Bitcoin and
- 27:52crypto. And you know, Again we're just
- 27:55seeing all of this to me is the Streisand Effect for Bitcoin.
- 28:00They talk shit, Bitcoin gets the headline there, more
- 28:03incentivized to talk shit because Bitcoin gets them
- 28:06clicks, ultimately Bitcoin is incepting.
- 28:08Everyone's mind when someone eventually learned about Bitcoin
- 28:12they realize that that is shit. 21 million, this good.
- 28:16And you know this is how the world moves on to bitcoin.
- 28:19It's not going to be it's not going to be a clean process but
- 28:22that's just how it just. That's just how it goes.
- 28:25Us know. You're absolutely spot-on.
- 28:27CK and it just the amount of desperation that you know is
- 28:32coming from these people is just absolutely hilarious.
- 28:35They have nothing left. Right.
- 28:38But just to character attack and you know, how dare you be
- 28:43optimistic for the future, you gotta go back in your pod.
- 28:47Oh nothing be happy and eat your bugs, you know?
- 28:51So and just bitcoiners are like nah, I don't want to deal with
- 28:54that and This is exactly why they are freaking out the way
- 28:57they are. But anyway, evil, yeah, great
- 28:59thought I was just gonna say, it's just great fodder for the
- 29:02history books, the winners write the history and we will have
- 29:05lots of examples of, you know, the the Bitcoin is dead and
- 29:09bitcoiners are evil Psychopaths. Like we have lots of those and
- 29:14you know they'll be sections and chapters in the history books
- 29:16that will be quite enjoyable to walk through with our children.
- 29:20Yeah, 100% of the you know, the evil Fiat regime dying.
- 29:25NG before eyes and then just stem just launching everything.
- 29:28Hoping something sticks. Anyways, are we the Psychopaths
- 29:32New York Post or you? Who knows sounds like projection
- 29:36to me. But anyway, so it's time for the
- 29:38daily meme review brought to you, by Citadel 21, they make
- 29:43the best Bitcoin cultural scene, this is volume 10.
- 29:47And this is volume 11. It just dropped every volume has

- 31:15Bitcoin does not recognize the difference between an unrwa
- 31:18hosted and hosted wallet. That is a name created by the

- 34:26So we were covering this and actually we were right on what
- 34:30we anticipated and we basically made the claim That platforms
- 34:35that did not allow Bitcoin withdraws.
- 34:38We're going to be able to are going to be able to force that
- 34:42in order to compete right with their competition that happened
- 34:46with PayPal which we reported and during the Bitcoin
- 34:50conference that CK and Bitcoin magazine put together Robin Hood
- 34:54had an announcement and they are enabling on chain and lightning
- 34:59with drawers for Bitcoin. And I love the lightning aspect
- 35:03because that is is going again, you know?
- 35:05Capitalism is awesome competition, right?
- 35:08Those lightning withdrawals from Robin Hood is going to pressure
- 35:12other exchanges right to offer. Lightning withdrawals.
- 35:16Like we've already seen cash app to we saw crack into it lately,
- 35:19right? Of course strike you knows ahead
- 35:21of the curve like always Jus just you know compete right.
- 35:25And I think coinbase is going to be lots of this and they're
- 35:28going to be forced to it but that sucks for them because if
- 35:31they enable lightning withdrawals, it kind of defeats
- 35:33the Act of why they're selling shit coins, right?
- 35:36Anyways, let's check out the announcement.
- 35:38Robin Hood announced, the addition of cryptocurrency
- 35:40investment, so his platform in January 2018, but much to the
- 35:44charge in of bitcoiners to app, didn't include the option to
- 35:47withdraw all assets from the platform.
- 35:49I think Phil and I were screaming from the rooftops
- 35:51first underscoring, the growth that Bitcoin is seeing at the
- 35:54moment she noted more than 50% of our new customers are new
- 35:59investors and there's a lot of signal there, right?
- 36:02Robin Hood is very Popular with the millennial generation gen Z.
- 36:06And the fact that around 50% of those people are buying Bitcoin.
- 36:11Is absolutely crazy. This is a China.
- 36:14I can't pronounce that. I'm sorry, guys, announced that
- 36:16more than 2 million people on the Robin Hood.
- 36:19Waitlist can now send and receive Bitcoin to and from the
- 36:22app as Robin Hood unveiled withdrawals and deposits at
- 36:26Bitcoin 2022. And that includes, of course,
- 36:30the lightning Network absolutely crazy.
- 36:33We expected this. CK, what are your thoughts on
- 36:35this? Yeah.
- 36:38I mean, this could arguably be some of the biggest news at the
- 36:42event first that one Bitcoin is the number one asset on Robin
- 36:47Hood period. So that is reoccurring bias,
- 36:50number one, asset number one volume asset, and number one
- 36:54asset for new customers. So that's huge.
- 36:56It just shows like on a traditional finance app, Bitcoin
- 37:00is the most popular investment I think for new investors, Bitcoin
- 37:04is the most popular investment for people who have never
- 37:06invested before. A life Bitcoin will be their
- 37:10first investment. Like Bitcoin is better money.
- 37:13Bitcoin is a, it's the best product on the Internet Straight
- 37:19Up. And one of the Brokers have
- 37:21investment is bending the knee. Just like El Salvador to bitcoin
- 37:25maximalist. They're not only an, you know
- 37:28what, I'll give them props when it is actually enabled and I
- 37:31know that they're working hard and making announcements and I
- 37:33think they've announced it like six times, but obviously, the
- 37:36lightning edition is cool. Cool thing, Robin Hood when you
- 37:39enable it, I will be the first to give each and every one of
- 37:42you a congratulations for what you've done.
- 37:44But I would like you to complete the bending of the knee and and
- 37:48have your knee touch the ground and actually ship this because
- 37:51that would be fantastic. And again I think that the
- 37:54Bitcoin way Bitcoin best practices the way of this
- 37:57network, it's not going to be a choice, it's just going to be
- 38:00better business. You're going to do it because
- 38:02it's going to be better for your bottom line.
- 38:04And that's how Bitcoin adoption is going to keep happening.
- 38:07Lee Phil what? Yeah tennis yeah to see case
- 38:11point you know II think it's a lot of marketing and it's just a
- 38:15lot of show to me. My personal opinion is that
- 38:20they're begrudgingly doing this, right?
- 38:23The last thing they want is you to be able to move, you know,
- 38:26your Bitcoin off of off of Robin Hood.
- 38:29I know that that took a long time before you could even do
- 38:31that. So, is that actually enabled?
- 38:34Now you can actually withdraw your Bitcoin from them, finally,
- 38:36right, so bad. ETA still beta 0 beta.
- 38:39Okay, all right, that's right, that's right.
- 38:41So like a like a beta list in a bucket Early Access list.
- 38:44They haven't enabled it for for the general user.
- 38:48Okay, so yeah, see. So there you go.
- 38:50Another announcing lightning. So look to me.
- 38:53This is again going back. This is marketing and they're
- 38:57they're going to kick. The can down the road of
- 38:59enabling these features for everyone as long as they can,
- 39:02because the reality is, is that for them?
- 39:05I I don't I try to figure out like What exactly is the draw of
- 39:09custody in everybody's assets? Right?
- 39:12And really, to me, it just creates a giant honey pot number
- 39:16one, number two, it creates one single attack Vector, you know,
- 39:20of risk. But then, I think to myself,
- 39:24they're not doing it for them. Maybe they're doing it because
- 39:26they're instructed to do it right?
- 39:28Because then that becomes one single place that they can
- 39:30freeze all these assets. So, anyways, look tinfoil hat.
- 39:34All that stuff. At the end of the day, I think
- 39:36this is all just for show. It's virtue.
- 39:38Signaling Buck Robin Hood? Yeah.
- 39:42Yeah man, it did it. Go ahead, as you can say like,
- 39:46hey, we like to see them doing what bitcoiners want to do, but
- 39:49we need this see them ship the product.
- 39:51Ultimately, it's a good thing for bitcoiners because right
- 39:54now, if you hold Bitcoin on Robin Hood, there's no way for
- 39:57you to get your value out without liquidating and taking
- 40:00on a capital gain or Capital loss.
- 40:02So being able to withdraw, as far superior obviously,
- 40:06withdrawing over lightning has No, like a little bit of privacy
- 40:09improvements. Obviously, so KY seed and all
- 40:12that stuff but this is what you want to see, you know ultimately
- 40:17we should still continue to recommend, you know, more
- 40:19Bitcoin, friendly and Bitcoin, ethos companies.
- 40:22But yeah, Nico do you yeah man. Dude it's I am cautiously
- 40:28optimistic. Just like CK PayPal took a long
- 40:31time, they announced it but they took a long time to, you know,
- 40:34add those withdrawals. And I think that this is what is
- 40:37so important. Didn't about, you know, keep
- 40:39continue pushing it into people's brains that.
- 40:43Yeah, you might be able to see your Bitcoin balance on a Robin
- 40:47Hood app or on a PayPal app. But if you don't take that into
- 40:51self custody you don't get the power that comes with being but
- 40:57withholding your Bitcoin, right? That's really what it is because
- 41:00if you hold it with an app, it really belongs to the app, it
- 41:04doesn't belong to you. It only belongs to you, if you
- 41:06take self custody. And that is only how you benefit
- 41:10from the power of Bitcoin and to kind of tie it in with what CK
- 41:13was talking about the beginning of the episode.
- 41:15If you want to take advantage of judicial Arbitrage, right?
- 41:18You want to get out of your jurisdiction.
- 41:21You definitely want to have self custody before that jurisdiction
- 41:24becomes hostile towards Bitcoin. Because when that happens, it's
- 41:27already too late. But anyways, moving on to this
- 41:31dude, absolutely historical goes back to what CK was saying,
- 41:36Bitcoin is. Coming mainstream.
- 41:39What am I talking about? Well on Sunday on 60 Minutes,
- 41:43right? They did a whole episode
- 41:45essentially on the Bitcoin Beach on bitcoin, Jack mahler's, I
- 41:50think I'm pretty sure was featured on the episode.
- 41:52I don't watch TV TV but check out these numbers, right?
- 41:56Because this is what I actually want you guys to pay attention
- 41:59to. This is the signal, CBS News
- 42:02Magazine, 60 Minutes, LED Primetime, Sunday night,
- 42:06according to Nielsen live, Same day, fast affiliate ratings
- 42:09escorting 8.7 in the key demographic, 18 to 49 and
- 42:15drawing more than 9 million viewers at 7 p.m. that is huge.
- 42:21Huge exposure to the revolution that is happening.
- 42:25The peaceful revolution of Bitcoin, CK, what are your
- 42:29thoughts on that? I know it's I know it's noise
- 42:32this pretty noise but the signal there is that.
- 42:34It's so many people tuning in. Yeah.
- 42:38I mean again these news agencies have no choice.
- 42:42They must cover Bitcoin, they have no choice.
- 42:45It drives too much engagement, same for the haters.
- 42:49Peter Schiff has no choice either has to talk shit about
- 42:52Bitcoin or he has to say good things about Bitcoin.
- 42:55But it's not saying anything about Bitcoin means, he will get
- 42:57less engagement on Twitter straight up.
- 43:00So that's the calculation that's in their head, Bitcoin benefit
- 43:03from all of it. Obviously, there's going to be
- 43:05some sucker that loses out because of it.
- 43:07Sorry for them. But ultimately everyone gets the
- 43:10price they deserve and this is how Bitcoin adoption happens.
- 43:14The Streisand Effect slowly and cepting people and yes, Bitcoin
- 43:19is a household name. Net right now and it's a very
- 43:22popular household name. Bitcoin is good for business,
- 43:25I'm pushing. This guy's Bitcoin is good for
- 43:27business, it's good for everyone's business and that's
- 43:29how it's going to be adopted. Absolutely Phil.
- 43:34I just I just love seeing that that little picture of the kids
- 43:37with the little skateboards, you know.
- 43:38Like that's awesome it because you know, you know me like I
- 43:41just I always talk about how, you know Bitcoin.
- 43:44What makes it special is that it's such a Grassroots movement,
- 43:47you know? Like this is, this is how things
- 43:49that, this is, how real things happen, right?
- 43:51The this is, it starts off as Grassroots, it's not just some,
- 43:55some produced piece of crap that comes out of a corporation.
- 43:59So you know what, look, you know, love him or hate him jack.
- 44:03Mahler's is killing it, right? And he is getting his giving
- 44:06fantastic exposure. Number one, number two, he
- 44:09speaks very well. Okay, and he, you know, he can
- 44:13speak to, let's say, you know, some of the more, you know, some
- 44:16of the more educated people, the same way he can speak to the,
- 44:19you know, the left side of the curve, right?
- 44:20So he can do the left and the right side of the curb, he
- 44:22appeals to us both. So I think that that's
- 44:25fantastic. And to see case Point, that's
- 44:28exactly right. They have absolutely no choice
- 44:31but to cover Bitcoin. Okay, so can't stop the honey
- 44:34badger. All right guys, we got one last
- 44:37story before CK has to run will continue the show of course.
- 44:41But let's check this out. I'd love to get, see case
- 44:44thoughts on this. So this was announced during the
- 44:47Mal the Samson Mao announcement during the conference.
- 44:51He announced really, he announced Mexico.
- 44:54We'll get to that in a second but I think these two new
- 44:58territories adopting Bitcoin were the big deal and let's
- 45:02check it out. Jurisdiction on the road ten
- 45:05eyelids, off the North Coast of Honduras and mylady an
- 45:09autonomous region in Portugal. By the way Madea, my data is
- 45:12where Christiano. Ronaldo is from the soccer
- 45:15player are adopting Bitcoin as the de facto legal tender, the
- 45:19latest territories to do. So following El, Salvador's,
- 45:22official recognition of the acid in September twenty Twenty-One,
- 45:27but not only that, this could be noise, this would be signal.
- 45:31I thought this was really interesting.
- 45:33This was the president of Argentina and this is a tweet
- 45:36that he says I was talking to Michael sailor about Bitcoin and
- 45:40the impact on the individual and family economy.
- 45:44Very interesting. Why would he tweet that?
- 45:47Who knows? Maybe it's noise.
- 45:48Maybe he's trying to get votes. I don't know yet.
- 45:51But anyways. CK, what are your thoughts on
- 45:54the Argentinean president? Take a picture of Michael
- 45:56sailor. What are your thoughts on
- 45:59Fortuna? And Nevada?
- 46:01You know, adopting Bitcoin? Quick question, is that the
- 46:05Argentinean president or the former Argentinean president?
- 46:08I think let me look that up, but why don't you start with my data
- 46:13and Fortuna? Yeah, so I mean, I think it's so
- 46:17interesting to see Nation, safe nation-state adoption kind of
- 46:21rhyming a little bit with corporate adoption.
- 46:24You know, corporate adoption big movement with with, with
- 46:29microstrategy and then much smaller.
- 46:31Much less conviction. By square and and Tesla and a
- 46:37few other companies kind of jumping and a little bit later.
- 46:41But not the flood of excitement, not the massive D risking and I
- 46:46think same with El Salvador, obviously nine months ago a
- 46:49Bitcoin 2021 the big announcement and last September
- 46:54the lobbying enacted. And not this massive flood of
- 46:58nation-states rushing into it. There was an initial excitement
- 47:01and then now it's a little bit more of a A Sprinkle I think
- 47:05people are still scared. I think obviously the US the we
- 47:10that I am. I the IMF you know acting
- 47:12hostile towards El Salvador is maybe potentially slowing things
- 47:17down. But ultimately again like I
- 47:20think both with countries and with corporations, they have no
- 47:23choice. Bitcoin is better faster
- 47:26stronger like Michael sailor likes to say and they're going
- 47:29to adopt it because it's going to be better for them.
- 47:31So it might take longer They might lose a little bit on the
- 47:36exchange rate between now and then until I finally do it.
- 47:39But with these smaller jurisdictions, you know, make
- 47:42sense. Small jurisdictions at want to
- 47:44get the extra marketing that Bitcoin gives them, which is
- 47:47awesome. Awesome benefit of Bitcoin, you
- 47:49know, look at Peter McCormick, steam, look at the Bitcoin,
- 47:53baseball team and person who would care about the property.
- 47:55If it wasn't for them saying, hey, we not only play baseball
- 47:58in Australia, but we are the very first, you know, Bitcoin
- 48:02standard Sports I'm ever like it just completely changes the
- 48:06equation Bitcoin, the lines incentives.
- 48:08You know, Bitcoin is a motivating people especially the
- 48:11small guy to join on board and we're going to see smaller
- 48:14jurisdictions continue to do this until the bigger
- 48:17jurisdictions have no choice but also do it themselves.
- 48:20Absolutely been. I completely agree.
- 48:23CK's time is running out. CK.
- 48:25Thank you so much for coming on the show and once again dude you
- 48:29guys killed it at the Bitcoin conference I appreciate that a
- 48:34lot. Nico coin Icarus.
- 48:35You guys are some of the best traders in the space.
- 48:38Obviously, we love your show. We love supporting your show, so
- 48:41would love to support you all again.
- 48:43And again, it's awesome to meet you all and other bitcoiners in
- 48:46person. So, I'm really thankful that
- 48:49despite me being busy, I got to bump into y'all multiple times.
- 48:52Give you all multiple hugs. I mean it means a lot and you
- 48:56know, I'm excited to do it again and have more bitcoiners.
- 48:59They're absolutely brother Xavier, man.
- 49:01Take it easy. My friend.
- 49:03Right. Sorry guys, we were saying bye
- 49:04to seek a. Anyways, Phil you had some
- 49:07thoughts. Okay, yeah, so my I mean like my
- 49:09stuff is definitely going to be more generalized, right?
- 49:11Because I don't really know much about these regions so I guess
- 49:15I'm going to give kind of opposing, I guess, opposing
- 49:18views, I was kind of underwhelmed by the, by the
- 49:22announcements that just, you know, in general, just
- 49:25underwhelmed by the announcements.
- 49:27I know that again, right? These are not bad things.
- 49:30It's not because they're underwhelming that.
- 49:31Oh my gosh. That's it.
- 49:32This is Double Bitcoin is not working.
- 49:34Like no, it just means that like we've come to expect more more
- 49:40Sparks, you know, we've come to expect and that's all it's, and
- 49:44that's, and that's a person expectation.
- 49:46It has nothing to do with the actual news itself, but but I
- 49:50think with the signal, I think seek a kind of, you know,
- 49:52touched upon it a little bit when El Salvador happened,
- 49:57right? Yes.
- 49:58The US the, the, with the weft and, you know, the IMF I had no
- 50:04idea. It was coming, they go now, they
- 50:06brace? Right?
- 50:07So we know they bought off the argentinians, they offered them,
- 50:11you know, some money. Oh, and by the way, correction
- 50:13the the, the Argentinean president that I just showed
- 50:15that was an ex Argentinean president, just to clarify that,
- 50:19but I have more to kind of, you know, back up my, you know, my
- 50:24theory as to that check this out, right?
- 50:27Remember the on Doris thing, dude.
- 50:29Remember the tweet from Max Keiser that we refuse to
- 50:33acknowledge. Knowledge.
- 50:33That it was nice for sure, I suspect right that the IMF tap
- 50:38these guys on the shoulder, right?
- 50:41And here it's a read a little bit from the article.
- 50:43A lot of people had their bets on under arrest being the next
- 50:46country to declare Bitcoin legal tender.
- 50:48Apparently they lost the country's Central Bank.
- 50:51Issued an official statement in which they affirmed their
- 50:54Authority, as the sole issue of legal tender banknotes and
- 50:57coins. They also announced their
- 50:59intention of going the CBD sea route.
- 51:02Issuing Their own digital currency the exact opposite of
- 51:06Bitcoin, right? And here is the announcement,
- 51:08which we read when we did that episode.
- 51:10So yeah, dude, I think that there is some Shenanigans
- 51:14happening in the background and a little, something else to kind
- 51:16of back up my point. Remember, during the Bitcoin
- 51:20Conference during the Samson Mal announcement and they brought
- 51:23out that that Mexican senator. Now I have Senator Indira campus
- 51:29to give an update on Mexico. Uncle Ricky, please.
- 51:33Pay attention. Are you ready?
- 51:39Yeah. Hi.
- 51:41I'm Al. How are you?
- 51:46Well in Mexico. 67 million. People are not included in our
- 51:51financial system. If God is the answer to solve
- 51:56this problem. Check this out.
- 51:59Parole Bitcoin. Mexican senator proposes CBD.
- 52:02See legislation enjoy eating your body.
- 52:05See you guys all thing, you know, on the moment, right?
- 52:07So it's it's type of a coincidence that literally a
- 52:11week later. She's like, oh no, it's due to
- 52:13CBC route. It's kind of a coincidence that
- 52:16an odorous, the same exact happen.
- 52:19It's kind of a coincidence that in Argentina start that started
- 52:24happening and from a big broadcaster of mine that I'm a
- 52:28big fan of his quote is amazing. There are no conspiracies but
- 52:32they're also no coincidences. And those are three really big
- 52:38goddamn coincidences. Anyways, it's read a little bit
- 52:40from the other comb Exeter Mexican.
- 52:42Senator in d.com piece recently introduced draft legislation.
- 52:47Amending the country's monetary law to include currencies issued
- 52:51by the central bank. So she was Pro Bitcoin on the
- 52:55Sampson Mouse stage saying, how she was gonna put that, you
- 52:58know, a recommendation to the president.
- 53:02And then all of a sudden a week later, let's do a cvtc.
- 53:07Same thing happen in a Dura, same thing happened in
- 53:10Argentina. Looks like, they sounds like
- 53:12they're using those IMF is using those FDA.
- 53:14Those sdrs, you know, sweeten, the deal for some of these
- 53:19politicians. Anyways campus outlines in
- 53:21repetition that intervention from Mexico from the Mexican
- 53:24state is necessary to the success of the financial system
- 53:28of Mexico. Look at that.
- 53:30She also says that state intervention Is native and
- 53:34inevitable for the citizen. SRI of Mexico to possess human
- 53:37rights for the development of society.
- 53:40That is like commie shit a 180 to what she was saying at the
- 53:46Bitcoin conference I'm saying this right now.
- 53:50I'm calling it Phil because it's too much of a coincidence.
- 53:54Yeah Argentina Honduras. Mexico happened very quickly.
- 53:59As soon as you started hearing, Rumblings Argentino is Like
- 54:02tying to get in there and under assumes Max, Keiser, Samson Mal
- 54:06trying to get in there. And then in Mexico, all of a
- 54:10sudden a week after that, announcement, the Bitcoin
- 54:13conference boom. And if you guys remember Peter
- 54:16teals presentation, About the, the Jeju, the geometric class
- 54:24that we that has to be defeated peacefully for an order for
- 54:29Bitcoin to continue doing is I think that there is a lot of
- 54:32background conflict happening that we are.
- 54:36We are not seeing. So I am very confident to say
- 54:41that because this is just too many coincidences man.
- 54:46Anyway so I still think Bitcoin is going to win.
- 54:49It's just going to again. We are in the in and then they
- 54:52fight you staged their kind in the u.s. specifically.
- 54:55I think the politicians are really in the bargaining phase
- 54:57because they don't have the necessary political support to
- 55:02pass a cbgc. I think what they'll do is
- 55:04they'll try to capture stable coins successfully.
- 55:07I might add but yeah man, this is gonna get crazy guys.
- 55:12Take self custody, run your own note specifically the novel Dojo
- 55:17because it's fucking red, and it's badass.
- 55:19Anyways, Phil, that's exert. Yeah.
- 55:22The, the geriatric, the, the geriatric Central Bankers are
- 55:25absolutely freaking out, right? So they are running to these
- 55:29countries whichever countries. They suspect are going to move
- 55:32to a Bitcoin standard or want to move to a Bitcoin standard and
- 55:35they are going to offer them. They're cheap.
- 55:37Where's right? They're going to show arse out
- 55:41of my money, out of thin air and people keep in mind like we've
- 55:45covered this in a previous episode.
- 55:47Sdrs are a Of money. Okay, that is for countries and
- 55:52governments. So this is a layer of debt that
- 55:55doesn't get included in any of the debt that we see.
- 56:00Okay, so this is a whole other layer of money that doesn't
- 56:05exist. The people are using its I I
- 56:08find it such a mindfuck but I want to go back and just this is
- 56:12the beauty of Bitcoin. It exposes all of our
- 56:15incentives. You notice how I'm not saying
- 56:17their incentives. Because it's all of our
- 56:20incentives, okay? Whether we like it or not, okay?
- 56:25If I try to do some stupid shit, Bitcoin is going to expose that
- 56:29incentive, right? Like that is what's going to
- 56:31happen. These people are absolute
- 56:34enemies of true of personal freedom and of humanity.
- 56:39Okay. And Bitcoin helps expose them
- 56:43without having to do anything. And the best part of it is this
- 56:46right? You see all these Central
- 56:49bankers. Do is, is go begging to all of
- 56:52these countries to Stu. Keep the wool over their eyes
- 56:55and to keep the wool over their citizens eyes.
- 56:56This is all they can do. There's no one that they can
- 56:59corrupt in Bitcoin. Okay, to the point to do, what
- 57:03they want to do with Bitcoin, they can't stand it.
- 57:06It exists outside of their power and their freaking out.
- 57:09And it is absolutely beautiful to see because no one should
- 57:14have rights to do what they're doing with our money.
- 57:16Absolutely. The battle is just heating up
- 57:18guys. Sighs.
- 57:19But we're definitely winning if we weren't winning.
- 57:21They wouldn't call a Psychopaths, would they?
- 57:24Anyways, feel there was an open source software release today.
