• 0:03
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:05
  Bitcoin. It's going on forever.
• 0:15
  You're against Bitcoin. You're.
• 0:17
  Against freedom. Yo, welcome to another episode
• 0:24
  of Simply Bitcoin Live or number one source for the peaceful
• 0:26
  Bitcoin Revolution, Breaking News Culture, Matic Warfare.
• 0:29
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and say,
• 0:31
  ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most watched Daily Bitcoin
• 0:35
  Live show on YouTube, Rumble and X Simply Bitcoin.
• 0:37
  Strap yourselves in because it's going to be a hell of a show.
• 0:41
  We like to do this topic every once in a while and you guys
• 0:45
  love it. Apparently you guys really like
• 0:47
  this topic for some reason, so we like to revisit it every once
• 0:50
  in a while, especially with the new viewer, new viewers coming
• 0:53
  in, new viewers of the Simply Bitcoin channel.
• 0:56
  And of course, it seems like the live stream on X is becoming
• 1:00
  incredibly popular. It seems like Elon's pushing
• 1:02
  that. So today we're going to talk
• 1:04
  about the topic. How much Bitcoin do you need to
• 1:07
  be in the 1% of Bitcoin holders? There's so many different type
• 1:12
  of outlooks on this, right? There's 'cause no one knows like
• 1:16
  you, you, you know, you could see like how much Bitcoin is
• 1:20
  insert an address. So there's a variety of
• 1:22
  different reports that kind kind of come to a number, there's a
• 1:25
  consensus to it. But what I will tell you is that
• 1:30
  I love this data point, right? There is a roughly 50 to 60
• 1:34
  million millionaires all around the world, but there's only 21
• 1:38
  million Bitcoin, of which four millionaire estimated to be
• 1:41
  lost, right? So even if every millionaire
• 1:44
  around planet earth wanted to buy one Bitcoin, they physically
• 1:48
  couldn't. That's how absolutely scarce
• 1:50
  this thing is. And currently, you know, the
• 1:53
  acquisition cost is a little bit higher, right?
• 1:55
  It's a little bit higher, but it's $69,000.
• 1:59
  And you know, I think what I've been seeing from Bitcoin Twitter
• 2:03
  is that by the day more whole Coiners are minted.
• 2:08
  So it's definitely a step in the right direction.
• 2:10
  So we're gonna cover all that. We're gonna pull up all the
• 2:12
  graphs. We'll show you all the different
• 2:15
  reports, all the variety of the different reports.
• 2:17
  There's memes in there that also kind of show the same thing and
• 2:21
  we'll have a conversation about it.
• 2:23
  Look, I think I love the, you know, the Jack Mahlers and kind
• 2:28
  of American huddle take on this, which is like, look like
• 2:33
  Bitcoin. Not only is it a humility test,
• 2:36
  it's also an ego test, right? Like, sure, there are people
• 2:40
  that got in earlier than you, but at the same time, that
• 2:44
  doesn't mean that you're not going to benefit just as much as
• 2:47
  they are, right? They might have a bigger stack,
• 2:49
  but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't get on a Bitcoin
• 2:53
  standard either. That doesn't mean that you
• 2:55
  shouldn't benefit from it. You know, if Michael Sailor's
• 2:58
  right and this thing is going up forever, Laura and it's Infinity
• 3:02
  divided by 21 million. I think when everything is said
• 3:06
  and done, I think you will live a very, very good life if you
• 3:10
  start stacking today, if you start taking a portion of your
• 3:13
  income into and putting it into Bitcoin.
• 3:17
  All of that being said, as well as stacking Sats, you also got
• 3:20
  to stack friends who stack Sats. We have a very special guest to
• 3:24
  talk about that with today. And also it seems like Dave
• 3:29
  Portnoy, he just continues to go down this like you know, I think
• 3:34
  this rabbit hole of of and and going back to the humility
• 3:39
  aspect of it, right, which is like you know there's O GS that
• 3:43
  you know got in there buying Bitcoin at a dollar, buying
• 3:45
  Bitcoin at $100 and Dave Fordy's like man, I hate those guys, how
• 3:51
  could they do that? And then of course the Chad
• 3:54
  Taylor responded. So we have that video for you
• 3:56
  guys to play in the beginning and also we have I consider him
• 4:01
  a friend. We have Brian De Mint.
• 4:03
  He is the marketing guru. I don't think that's his
• 4:06
  official title, but I'm totally going to use it.
• 4:08
  Anyways. He's the marketing genius behind
• 4:11
  the Orange Pill app and the author of Bitcoin Evangelism,
• 4:14
  which we've been promoting on Simply Bitcoin Live for a while
• 4:17
  now, planting seeds for the centralized revolution.
• 4:20
  Arm yourselves with the tool to Orange Pill people and his new
• 4:22
  book, which I'm super hyped about because I got a signed
• 4:25
  copy. I waited for Brian.
• 4:27
  I was like going to leave the Bitcoin Atlantis conference
• 4:29
  'cause I was exhausted and I waited for Brian 'cause I wanted
• 4:31
  to get it signed and he signed it for me and I got copy 17 out
• 4:36
  of I think it says 60. So his new book Parallel the
• 4:40
  Bitcoin Social Layer. So really excited to talk about
• 4:43
  all that today. No more delay.
• 4:45
  Let me bring up my Dairy Co host.
• 4:47
  He is wearing the Take me Hire Creed shirt.
• 4:50
  I don't know where he got that, but Opti, and it's Opti, it's
• 4:55
  Friday, so it's opti's. For the memes.
• 4:57
  Meme. We're gonna have two meme
• 4:59
  reviews on the same week. I hope everyone in the live chat
• 5:02
  is hyped. And of course, no more.
• 5:04
  Let's bring up Brian, Brian, Welcome.
• 5:07
  Welcome to Simply Bitcoin. Welcome back.
• 5:09
  Wow, look at him. What a scholar.
• 5:11
  What a scholar. He's reading.
• 5:12
  He's reading what's? Up gentlemen.
• 5:14
  How you guys doing? Sorry there.
• 5:18
  He's. Just knee deep in a book.
• 5:20
  Oh man. That was a good one.
• 5:23
  Yeah, man, guys, good. Good to be on.
• 5:25
  Freaking love this topic. I'm one of, I'm one of the marks
• 5:28
  for for this topic. Like when people were like, how
• 5:30
  much Bitcoin do you need? I'm like I'm, I'm in let's let's
• 5:33
  talk for an hour and a half about this.
• 5:34
  So let's freaking go. It's Friday talking about our
• 5:37
  bags. I love it.
• 5:40
  Yeah, man. And also let's talk about.
• 5:43
  I'm going to make the announcement.
• 5:44
  It's not official. Ladies and gentlemen, we are
• 5:46
  partnering up with the Orange Pill apps starting on Monday.
• 5:52
  It's important that we you stack friends who stack SAT's.
• 5:55
  I was just talking about this with Brian before we went live.
• 5:58
  You go to a city, you're traveling, you have nobody.
• 6:01
  You don't know anybody there. And here's the thing, people
• 6:05
  still on a Fiat standard, they think differently than you,
• 6:07
  right? You gotta, you gotta think, you
• 6:09
  know, you gotta stack friends who stack SAT's because they're
• 6:12
  they're thinking about life and they're looking at the world
• 6:15
  through the orange lens, right? So you know, that's what the
• 6:19
  Orange palap does it it connects you with other bitcoiners.
• 6:22
  And Brian was telling me a story that recently just happened.
• 6:26
  But I think the story for me is always having the the founder
• 6:30
  and CEO reaching out to me. We don't know each other and I'm
• 6:33
  like dude, just stay on my couch, never saw his face.
• 6:37
  But that's the power of the orange pull up.
• 6:38
  So we're going to talk about the orange pull up.
• 6:40
  We're going to talk about Brian's new book, Parallel, the
• 6:42
  Bitcoin Social Air. It's going to be a great show
• 6:44
  and Opti is going to have his meme review, so it's going to be
• 6:48
  absolutely epic. Anyways, before we start the
• 6:50
  show, I do want to give a shout out to our lead sponsor.
• 6:55
  And of course I'm talking about Bitcoin.
• 6:56
  Well, Bitcoin Well is the best place to build your automatic
• 7:00
  self custody Bitcoin stack. It's a publicly traded company
• 7:04
  coming out of Canada that recently expanded to all fifty
• 7:07
  U.S. states. They're on a mission to make
• 7:10
  self custody. The standard, and the reason I
• 7:13
  call it automatic self custody is you can't buy Bitcoin on
• 7:17
  Bitcoin. Well, unless you're going to
• 7:19
  take self custody, which perfectly aligns with the simply
• 7:21
  Bitcoin ethos of the separation of money and state.
• 7:24
  After all, self custody is the revolution.
• 7:27
  I also do want to give a shit through the Bitcoin jackpot
• 7:29
  contest. It's currently live.
• 7:31
  Go to bitcoinwell.com/contest. Or you could scan the QR code on
• 7:35
  your screen. It'll take you directly there.
• 7:37
  The jackpot is currently that number isn't updated.
• 7:40
  It's at 3.53.51 million satoshis.
• 7:46
  Every time you stack SAT's or buy Bitcoin on Bitcoin, well,
• 7:49
  you earn points. You throw that into the jackpot
• 7:52
  and you have an opportunity to win 3.51 million Satoshi's.
• 7:56
  We we've also been giving away prizes over the last couple
• 7:59
  weeks like a passport by foundation devices, a book by
• 8:02
  said Bunny. Some seed plates as well.
• 8:04
  So stay tuned, we'll be giving away more giveaways from
• 8:07
  Bitcoin. Well guys, check out
• 8:09
  bitcoinwell.com today. All right, everybody, let's get
• 8:11
  to the numbers. The Bitcoin numbers.
• 8:16
  Is your Bitcoin in cold storage really secure?
• 8:19
  Is your seed phrase really secure?
• 8:22
  Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
• 8:24
  Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
• 8:27
  commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
• 8:32
  paper. Don't store your generational
• 8:34
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 8:38
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 8:40
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 8:43
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 8:46
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 8:49
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 8:52
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 8:56
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 8:58
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 9:01
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 9:04
  time proof. All things that paper is not
• 9:06
  allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for
• 9:10
  the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp seed.
• 9:13
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, I made it incredibly easy for
• 9:15
  you guys. You could scan the QR code on
• 9:17
  your screen, use a promo code simply to get 15% off anything
• 9:22
  on the stamp seed store. Anyways, at the time of
• 9:24
  recording, the Bitcoin price is literally 69,420.
• 9:28
  I'm not. That is absolutely hilarious.
• 9:31
  SAT's per dollar. Wow.
• 9:33
  Wow, I literally could not have time that.
• 9:34
  What are the chances of that? Man oh man, it just changed.
• 9:38
  OK, SAT's per dollar 1440 block height 836,817 blocks to having
• 9:45
  3183 having estimate April 20th, 2024 total Lightning network
• 9:51
  capacity 4338 Bitcoin capacity value 304 million U.S. dollars.
• 9:59
  Realize monetary inflation 1.73%.
• 10:02
  The market capitalization of Bitcoin 1.37 trillion Bitcoin
• 10:07
  verse gold market cap 9.88%. In the grand scheme of things we
• 10:11
  are just getting started. Anyways, this is the video that
• 10:14
  I wanted to watch with you guys and Michael Saylor responded and
• 10:19
  everything. And I mean, look, I'm going to,
• 10:24
  I'm going to say the saying, which is everyone buys Bitcoin
• 10:28
  at the price they deserve, right?
• 10:30
  Like, yes, there are people. There are O GS, not my.
• 10:34
  I'm not in this category whatsoever.
• 10:37
  I'm class of 2016, but there are O GS of classes of 2011 and 2013
• 10:43
  that I got Bitcoin at you know, under $100 or $100 or a couple
• 10:48
  $100. What I got to say is, like at
• 10:52
  the time, they didn't know that it was going to be worth
• 10:56
  $70,000. A lot of those Ogs ended up
• 10:59
  selling early, right? They ended up selling out a
• 11:01
  couple $1000, right? The whole whole huddle thing.
• 11:05
  The Bitcoin standard didn't exist, right?
• 11:08
  So like a lot of the things that like make it easy, like it it
• 11:12
  it, it points to Bitcoin being incredibly obvious to hold and
• 11:16
  never sell. A lot of those things didn't
• 11:18
  exist back then. Back then there weren't even a
• 11:20
  good hardware wallets like the like people were still using
• 11:23
  paper wallets and stuff. Like there wasn't even a good
• 11:26
  place to buy Bitcoin mount Gox which was like the de facto
• 11:30
  quote UN quote Bitcoin exchange. Rugged everybody, right.
• 11:34
  So like it's a lot of things to like keep in mind like it wasn't
• 11:37
  as simple as like, oh it's 2013, let me buy Bitcoin, let me pick
• 11:41
  out of like you know a a dozen on ramps that I can, you know
• 11:45
  choose and feel like I I I could use that, like none of that
• 11:49
  existed. So I think in hindsight it's
• 11:50
  very easy. Just kind of, oh, it was so
• 11:53
  obvious, right? So anyways, here's Dave Portnoy.
• 11:57
  He's saying some things about how he presents the early
• 12:01
  Bitcoin O GS, and I think it's hilarious, so check it out.
• 12:05
  Bitcoin, like I said, I think is at 70, 70,071 thousand in rising
• 12:13
  71,000. It's up like 2% in the last five
• 12:16
  seconds since I looked Just a rocket ship.
• 12:19
  We're going to have the Bitcoin. We're going to have the Bitcoin
• 12:21
  billionaires out in force outfitting you for houses,
• 12:24
  boats, stealing your women. Gonna be like, how'd you make
• 12:27
  your money? I bought Bitcoin.
• 12:28
  And by the way, last time I said how I get infuriated, how
• 12:31
  nobody's make money on Bitcoin. I had a lot of people being
• 12:33
  like, oh, shut up, couple people.
• 12:36
  Michael Saylor, who I think is like for me, the the you got
• 12:40
  obviously the Winklevosses who bought it early.
• 12:42
  But Michael Saylor is somebody. I've never met him.
• 12:45
  I don't think the Microsystems is that the company Michael
• 12:49
  Saylor's not the case. That guy Michael Saylor's put
• 12:51
  his nuts on the line for Bitcoin.
• 12:52
  He made money. Other places took his money and
• 12:54
  bought Bitcoin. Smart A+.
• 12:56
  That'll be like if I took all my money and bought Bitcoin.
• 12:59
  I'm talking about the people who did nothing, who are like from
• 13:02
  Better off Dead movies from the 80s, working in VCR stores,
• 13:05
  smoking cigarettes, Marlboro Reds and bought Bitcoin and did
• 13:08
  nothing good for them. And now they're rich and they're
• 13:10
  riding their Ferraris and their Lambos, but they didn't do
• 13:13
  nothing. That's what I'm talking about
• 13:15
  when I'm saying like, oh, these guys, just nothing but Bitcoin
• 13:19
  at like a buck. And now it's 70,000 and they're
• 13:21
  fucking bazillionaires. I respect the Michael sailors.
• 13:24
  The fuck out of them. The guys who put their nuts on
• 13:27
  the lines like they made money and then invested in Bitcoin.
• 13:29
  That guy held when it was crashing and didn't waver.
• 13:31
  So different. I'm talking about fucking 16
• 13:34
  candles, 80s movies, fucking the Bitcoin license plate.
• 13:38
  People who have just like, smoking weed, getting fucking
• 13:41
  loaded on Bitcoin. Good for them, but I hate you.
• 13:45
  All right, so a couple things, right?
• 13:48
  It sounds like he's talking about shit corners.
• 13:50
  All right, I, I, I, I think bit corners in general.
• 13:53
  Maybe I'm speaking about myself, but like, and maybe it's 'cause
• 13:58
  I live in Miami, the most Fiat fucking city on the face of the
• 14:00
  planet. But like, dude, like buying a
• 14:03
  Lambo, selling. Imagine selling your precious
• 14:05
  Satoshi's and buying a Lambo. I mean, look, you got to do what
• 14:08
  you got to do if that's what floats your boat and you know,
• 14:11
  Lambos make you happy. I think it's an overrated car,
• 14:13
  to be honest. Teslas are dope.
• 14:16
  I mean, I I think it's. Ferraris are way cooler.
• 14:19
  See opti's a Ferrari guy, a gold Ferrari.
• 14:22
  But but yeah, I mean, look, I I feel like maybe OK, maybe like
• 14:26
  the OR I just personally, I've never seen a bitcoiner with that
• 14:32
  type of high. And I know bitcoiners that are
• 14:35
  class of 2013, you know, and they are still using phones that
• 14:41
  are cracked and you know, they live well below their means.
• 14:45
  I think, you know, that's essentially like kind of like
• 14:48
  the Bitcoin mentality, right? That's not to say if you want to
• 14:52
  buy a Ferrari, OK, whatever floats your boat.
• 14:54
  It just feels like he's talking about alt corners.
• 14:56
  That's number one. Number two, Dave Portnoy is
• 14:59
  worth $100 million, right? So if he took, you know, twenty,
• 15:04
  3040%, I know that's intense. I know that's hardcore, but if
• 15:09
  he took a a percentage of his net worth and put it into
• 15:11
  Bitcoin right now, you know in 10 years he has his chance at
• 15:17
  becoming worth half a billion dollars or you know, basically
• 15:21
  you know, 10X ING his wealth, right?
• 15:23
  So I mean like you know, but you got to take action, right?
• 15:26
  You got to eat your humble pie instead of looking at the past,
• 15:30
  you know, look at the present, right?
• 15:31
  Look at what you can do for the future anyways, Michael Saylor
• 15:34
  responded. The rules are simple to remember
• 15:37
  but hard to follow. Buy Bitcoin, don't sell the
• 15:39
  Bitcoin. We need you on Team Bitcoin.
• 15:41
  Dave, next time you're in Miami, DM me and we can discuss this
• 15:45
  one-on-one. So I mean I want to get your
• 15:48
  guys thoughts. What do you think?
• 15:50
  I think Dave Portnoy is in the process of getting orange
• 15:53
  pilled. I think he's he's close but he
• 15:57
  isn't quite there yet. I'm going to start with you,
• 15:59
  Brian. What do you think?
• 16:01
  I mean, Dave's done everything wrong at every step of the
• 16:05
  process. Like, I just, I don't know what
• 16:07
  else to say. And he's doing it wrong right
• 16:10
  now because he's he's, I mean maybe he's about to get Orange
• 16:13
  built and maybe he will do it the right way.
• 16:15
  But mark this like somebody clipped this right now just as
• 16:18
  the prediction in three years we're going to see the same
• 16:22
  thing, man. Why didn't I buy it at 71,000
• 16:25
  when I was griping about it? Like we're going to see the same
• 16:27
  process happen over again and he's going to be pissed at the
• 16:30
  people who bought it under 50,000.
• 16:32
  Like that's that's how this guy's been operating.
• 16:35
  And like you said he he did, he did it in the order that I think
• 16:39
  a lot of us did it. If you were in Bitcoin pre 2016,
• 16:44
  you tended to get into Bitcoin, then you went through your
• 16:47
  altcoin phase during the ICO thing and then once you saw Icos
• 16:50
  blow up, that's when the really strong Bitcoin only signal kind
• 16:55
  of emerged. And so unfortunately he didn't
• 16:58
  have his Bitcoin only phase at the beginning.
• 17:00
  He went riding with the Winklevoss twins, where they did
• 17:03
  actually, I think only tell him to buy Bitcoin, but obviously
• 17:06
  they're big proponents of Etherium.
• 17:08
  So he kind of started with that alt coiny kind of mentality, I
• 17:12
  think what you were alluding to. So that's the culture that he's
• 17:14
  seen. You're right, Bitcoiners aren't
• 17:16
  out there buying Lambos or anything lavish.
• 17:18
  The things that we buy, if we do buy it with our Bitcoin, are
• 17:21
  things that you don't see. It's like an underground bunker
• 17:24
  in case the, you know, the nuclear fallout happens.
• 17:27
  Or like we buy our meats from a regenerative farmer four states
• 17:31
  away. Or it's like an RV to travel
• 17:33
  around with our family. Like you would never see or
• 17:36
  notice the things that bitcoiners use their Bitcoin to
• 17:38
  buy. And it's not like the difference
• 17:40
  is when people buy things with their altcoins, they cash them
• 17:44
  out for Fiat and then go buy something at the car dealership.
• 17:48
  The only time guys like me or bitcoiners that I know actually
• 17:52
  buy stuff with their Bitcoin, they will only actually spend
• 17:55
  the Bitcoin, and then they'll probably go and replace it and
• 17:58
  convert Fiat in back into Bitcoin.
• 18:00
  But it's like we look for places like, OK, I'll, I'll make a
• 18:03
  purchase right now because, one, it provides me some utility, and
• 18:07
  two, the guy's going to accept actual Bitcoin for it.
• 18:10
  This guy's doing everything in the wrong order and kind of
• 18:13
  looking down the wrong alleyways.
• 18:15
  Hopefully he does go out to Miami.
• 18:16
  Hopefully he does sit with sailor and get orange peeled but
• 18:20
  but port noise in it for the action.
• 18:22
  You you watch any of his videos and he's like oh I need the
• 18:24
  juice man then you get pumped like that is those days are so
• 18:29
  rare with Bitcoin. They feel great when they're
• 18:30
  happening but guys that need the constant juice like they have a
• 18:34
  hard time riding the downside and you have to have such thick
• 18:38
  skin to be in Bitcoin. So I don't know if he if his
• 18:41
  personality necessarily has what it takes.
• 18:43
  I hope and pray for him that he does.
• 18:46
  I think it's better for everybody if he does, but I
• 18:49
  don't know if that suits his personality well.
• 18:51
  Yeah, 100 percent, 100% he's he's, he's a a Fiat in in like
• 18:58
  if if you were to look up Fiat and it was a person, I feel like
• 19:01
  Dave Fortnay would be very at the very top of that list.
• 19:06
  He's like the embodiment of it because you know like again like
• 19:10
  people project, right. Like in his mind he's like, man,
• 19:13
  if I had billions of dollars I would get a fucking Lambo.
• 19:16
  Right. Like like look and I've seen
• 19:19
  this 1000 times like and I know fucking whales, man.
• 19:23
  You would never tell. You could never tell just by
• 19:26
  looking at them. You cannot tell that they have
• 19:29
  you know stacks. They're still driving.
• 19:32
  You know they're it's good cars, right?
• 19:34
  It's safe cars right. Safety and it's sturdy and it's
• 19:37
  whatever. But they're the the bling and
• 19:40
  the flash. I mean for me from from an Opsec
• 19:43
  perspective like that's a no go right?
• 19:47
  Anyways Opti, I know that you are more on the portnoy side.
• 19:51
  I've seen we've showed a a picture of you what happens, you
• 19:55
  actually tweeted this out of the famous saying in Bitcoin, right?
• 20:00
  It's like there will be signs and it's essentially a guy with
• 20:05
  his shirt off in the Savannah with a gun and a leopard and a
• 20:09
  gold chain. So you're on the Portnoy side.
• 20:12
  Opti, when are you going to get your gold Ferrari?
• 20:14
  What price? Once gold gets demonetized but
• 20:20
  but you know on on one hand I do respect Portnoy as someone that
• 20:25
  built a media company you know, shouts out to him Barstool
• 20:30
  Sports it is it's a huge company So like I respect him as as a
• 20:33
  hard worker and someone that built a media basically a media
• 20:36
  empire so you know shouts out to him on that front.
• 20:39
  But on the Bitcoin front, man, he just doesn't get it.
• 20:43
  And and one of the first things that I was kind of thinking when
• 20:46
  we saw that video is that Bitcoin is being de risked and
• 20:49
  in real time. Like holding Fiat is the real
• 20:52
  risk. Like, you're not here to make
• 20:53
  money in Bitcoin. Like the goal is not to trade
• 20:56
  Bitcoin for more Fiat. It's to save your labor, save
• 20:59
  your time, save your value in Bitcoin.
• 21:00
  Literally just save the hardest money ever made.
• 21:03
  That's the goal here. It's to leave the Fiat world
• 21:07
  behind, realize that you are holding melting ice cubes, that
• 21:11
  the dollar is literally stealing your life force from you.
• 21:14
  That is the goal here. And realizing that Bitcoin is a
• 21:17
  better way. And then to the whole idea of
• 21:20
  like, oh, you know, bitcoiners did nothing.
• 21:22
  Like bitcoiners put their capital on the line, like we
• 21:25
  worked our normie jobs and stack sats when everyone else was
• 21:29
  calling us idiots like that. Like Brian was saying, you know,
• 21:32
  we have thick skin because we saw the the game being played.
• 21:35
  We we understand the monetary games being played.
• 21:39
  We understand, you know, some basic Austrian economics and
• 21:43
  realize that you do not want to spend the hardest money ever
• 21:46
  known. And you can tell that Dave
• 21:48
  hasn't gone down that path yet. He's still in the kind of, like,
• 21:51
  gambler shit coin casino route. Like Brian was saying, you know,
• 21:54
  he needs that dopamine. Davey day Trader Portnoy needs
• 21:57
  the dopamine of like logging in in the morning, looking at the
• 22:01
  charts and then seeing his net worth go out.
• 22:03
  Like he needs that dopamine to feel like he is doing something,
• 22:07
  quote, UN quote. And then also guys like don't
• 22:10
  ever let anyone tell you that you got lucky getting into
• 22:13
  Bitcoin. Like, I started this rant about
• 22:15
  now it's it's it's like 2020's hindsight now it's becoming
• 22:19
  very, I don't know, very kosher to be like, Oh yeah, yeah, you
• 22:23
  you wouldn't you you you knew to save in Bitcoin when it was at
• 22:26
  53K. You know when it dumped in March
• 22:29
  2020 and went to Three K it was so easy to just throw your net
• 22:32
  worth in the Bitcoin when. Or rather when Bitcoin was 1K at
• 22:36
  Mountain Gox to all the O GS out there and held Bitcoin for two
• 22:40
  years while it got nuke to a hundred $200.
• 22:43
  Like, it's so easy to look back in hindsight and be like all
• 22:45
  those bitcoiners. They got lucky that, you know,
• 22:48
  all they did was sit back and smoke weed.
• 22:50
  And while I'm not saying that a lot of bitcoiners didn't just
• 22:53
  sit back and smoke weed. You still had to understand that
• 22:57
  what is going on, like you still had to understand the network.
• 22:59
  And and the point I'm I'm trying to get to is now it's becoming
• 23:04
  very easy to say that, oh, you know, obviously you should have
• 23:09
  bought Bitcoin at 10K20K5K1K because it's getting de risked
• 23:15
  in real time and it's becoming very, you know, it's becoming
• 23:18
  part of of of the popular consciousness right now.
• 23:21
  Like Bitcoin is 15 years. I think everyone and their
• 23:25
  mother has at least heard about Bitcoin one time.
• 23:28
  Maybe they're not bitcoiners yet, but they've heard about
• 23:30
  Bitcoin. You know, it's becoming part of
• 23:32
  the popular conversations on television.
• 23:34
  It's on all of the corporate press, it's all over social
• 23:37
  media. You know, we got Bitcoin tickers
• 23:38
  on on Tradfi news networks. And so it's becoming very easy
• 23:43
  to say that like, Oh yeah, I should have bought it back then.
• 23:46
  But if you ask, the OGS have been around Bitcoin for a long
• 23:49
  time, like no one knew what the hell they were doing.
• 23:52
  They just saw the opportunity of Bitcoin.
• 23:54
  They huddled, they learn and in time you look back, you're like,
• 23:57
  man, that's the best decision I ever made in my life.
• 24:00
  So Dave is still doesn't like Dave still doesn't get what this
• 24:04
  is about Like you know I I I respect him as an entrepreneur
• 24:08
  and someone that's built a media company.
• 24:10
  But you can just tell that he fully doesn't understand what
• 24:13
  the game is. And really this kind of goes to
• 24:17
  something that Nico and I've been saying, and I think it was
• 24:19
  when Svetsky came on last week that we talked about it again.
• 24:23
  It's the idea that bitcoiners like this is a precursor to the
• 24:26
  idea that bitcoiners are going to get hated on and maybe
• 24:28
  mentally prepare yourself for the idea that like instead of
• 24:32
  looking at bitcoiners and being like, oh, he's successful, I
• 24:35
  want, I want to see how he's able to do what he does.
• 24:38
  They're going to point and sputter and be like, oh, you got
• 24:40
  lucky you didn't earn any of this.
• 24:42
  When you guys put in the hours, you put your own capital on the
• 24:45
  life. You put your own reputation on
• 24:47
  the line by talking about Bitcoin to everyone that would
• 24:49
  listen, or rather everyone that wouldn't listen to you.
• 24:52
  And now, in hindsight, it's gonna become easy to make
• 24:55
  Bitcoiners the scapegoat. We've already seen Elizabeth
• 24:58
  Warren and Jamie Diamonds of the world basically blame Bitcoin
• 25:01
  for the Fiat systems problems. And you're seeing that this is,
• 25:06
  you know, for black a better term, like a a precursor of of
• 25:10
  what might come in the future that Bitcoiners are going to get
• 25:13
  blamed for understanding the monetary gains going on and
• 25:16
  putting your money where your mouth is and putting your
• 25:19
  capital on the line and saving in Bitcoin while everyone is
• 25:22
  calling you dumb. So I mean it's just something
• 25:25
  that is like I I try to be silver lining here, but I'm
• 25:29
  seeing the writing on the wall and we're going to get blamed
• 25:31
  for a lot of things moving forward.
• 25:33
  And this is the importance of continuing to double down on the
• 25:35
  memes and, of course, stacking stats and taking Bitcoin into
• 25:38
  custody. Bro Opti's wearing the Creed
• 25:40
  shirt and he's can. You take me.
• 25:43
  He's taking us higher right now bro.
• 25:45
  Dropping the fire. Anyways guys, if you want to

• 27:20
  Check out the passport link in the show notes below to learn

• 27:38
  and you could pair it up with the Envoy app, scan the QR code,
• 27:41
  or check the link in video description.
• 27:43
  Anyways, quick ETF update MicroStrategy.
• 27:47
  I mean, it's not an ETF, but public company and ETF update.
• 27:51
  MicroStrategy currently holds 214,000 Bitcoin.
• 27:54
  Michael Saylor officially owns 1% of every Bitcoin and I think
• 27:59
  he's definitely going to buy more blah.
• 28:01
  The Grayscale trust continues to just dump the people are just
• 28:04
  getting rid of grayscale they have 335,000 Bitcoin.
• 28:08
  The BlackRock ETF currently holds or the iShares Bitcoin
• 28:12
  Trust currently holds 252,000 Bitcoin Fidelity 143,000.
• 28:18
  Seemed like the Black Rock one in the Fidelity one have been
• 28:20
  going a little bit sideways. Anyways, before we get into the
• 28:24
  meat of today's show guys, if you're enjoying the show, make
• 28:27
  sure to smash that like button if you're watching us on
• 28:29
  YouTube, If you're watching us on X, press a little heart and
• 28:33
  on rumble the How many of you guys, the 44 of you guys,
• 28:37
  watching? Rumble doesn't have algos, but
• 28:39
  like the video anyways, like. The video there's 1015 of you
• 28:44
  guys watching live between YouTube and X so just smash the
• 28:47
  like button really really helps with the with the algos and
• 28:51
  pushes it forward but apparently Opti says there's no there's no
• 28:54
  I don't. Think there's an algo on rumble,
• 28:56
  but like the video anyways? The video.
• 28:57
  Anyways, it helps. OK, anyways, so I do wanted to
• 29:00
  get into the meat of today's videos.
• 29:03
  So how much Bitcoin do you need to be in the top 1% of Bitcoin
• 29:08
  holders? There's there's a bunch of kind
• 29:11
  of like different studies for this.
• 29:14
  This is like the the one that I found the most.
• 29:17
  Like I I don't know, I don't want to say reputable, but the
• 29:20
  the one that I guess makes a little bit the most sense,
• 29:23
  right. So if you want to be in the top
• 29:25
  10% of Bitcoin holders, you need one point to a Bitcoin.
• 29:30
  If you want to be in the top 5%, you need 3.99 Bitcoin.
• 29:35
  If you want to be in the top 2%, you need 10.56 Bitcoin.
• 29:40
  If you want to be in the top 1%, you need 15 Bitcoin.
• 29:45
  If you want to be in the top 1% of the 1%, you need 89 Bitcoin.
• 29:50
  If you want to be in the top .03%, you need at least 215
• 29:55
  Bitcoin. If you want to be in the top
• 29:57
  .01%, you need 433 Bitcoin. If you want to be in the top
• 30:03
  .003%, you need at least 202,189 Bitcoin.
• 30:10
  If you want to be in the top .001%, you need a minimum of
• 30:15
  7021 Bitcoin. Now what's really interesting is
• 30:19
  the number of holders for these classes.
• 30:22
  So the very top. There's only about 250 Bitcoin
• 30:26
  owners according to this research, that have a minimum of
• 30:30
  7000 Bitcoin in the top .003%. There's only about 500 Bitcoin
• 30:36
  owners that own a minimum of 2189 Bitcoin in the top .01%,
• 30:44
  which is a minimum of 433 Bitcoin.
• 30:46
  There's only about 1750 Bitcoin owners that fit into that
• 30:50
  category. In the 215 Bitcoin, there's only
• 30:54
  about 5000 holders, a lot smaller than what I originally
• 30:58
  thought. There's only about 5000 people
• 31:01
  that fit into that category. To be in the top .1%, which is
• 31:05
  89 Bitcoin, there's only about 17,500.
• 31:09
  That's like the size of an NBA stadium that's completely filled
• 31:13
  up. And to be in the 1%, there's
• 31:15
  about 225,000 people that fit into that category.
• 31:20
  And again, you need about 15 Bitcoin to fit in there.
• 31:24
  All right, moving on. I know Opti likes memes and it
• 31:26
  is Meme Review Friday. I think it'd be fun if we do
• 31:29
  that. How?
• 31:29
  How did they get those statistics?
• 31:31
  Were those UTXOS or like addresses?
• 31:35
  They just did a study, man. They did a study.
• 31:38
  And because you know, no one knows for sure, right, that this
• 31:43
  is the numbers that they came up with.
• 31:45
  Now, the reason that I don't want to just focus on one study
• 31:48
  exactly is because no one knows what.
• 31:51
  Exactly is a feature, not a bug, right?
• 31:54
  So this is how this is what they came up with.
• 31:57
  Mind you, they came up with this study back in 2017.
• 32:01
  So I'm sure that the minimum wealth required has actually
• 32:05
  gone down a little bit and I'm sure that these numbers have
• 32:08
  actually either gone down like and then I would say maybe the
• 32:11
  1% group has gotten higher if anything.
• 32:15
  So I'm sure it shifted a little bit.
• 32:16
  But this is one of the, you know, best kind of studies I've
• 32:20
  found in terms of of the research aspect of it.
• 32:23
  Now to the meme side of it, because it is Opti's meme review
• 32:27
  Friday. This is the Citadel kind of
• 32:30
  castle and it's it's kind of very similar in a way to this,
• 32:37
  right. And this is a like a pattern
• 32:39
  that I've started to notice across a lot of these things
• 32:42
  that I've found right is that the amount in terms of what is
• 32:47
  like the ultimate Bitcoin goal stack is about roughly 100
• 32:52
  Bitcoin. What I've noticed across these,
• 32:54
  you know, these these memes, these little kind of research
• 32:57
  documents, I'm gonna show you one from glass node in a little
• 33:00
  bit. But this one I think is
• 33:02
  absolutely hilarious. And it is Friday.
• 33:04
  So at the very bottom we have the No Coiner, and then above
• 33:07
  that it's the .0001. Above that is the .001.
• 33:15
  Above that is the .01. Then it's the .1.
• 33:19
  Then it's so funny, 'cause there's a Lambo and it's the
• 33:23
  suicide stack, and the suicide stack is the one Bitcoin, right?
• 33:29
  Then there's the rope, the cope, the hope.
• 33:32
  And then, you know, it's kind of like builds like a like a
• 33:34
  castle, right? So there's .5 and then it starts
• 33:37
  to kind of do the thing. So the barons are at the one
• 33:42
  Bitcoin or they call it the suicide stack.
• 33:44
  Then the Lords the break it stack is five Bitcoin.
• 33:49
  Then the Earls the make it stack rights between 5:00 Bitcoin and
• 33:53
  10 Bitcoin. Then the generational wealth,
• 33:56
  the marquises the the Marquis 10 Bitcoin.
• 34:00
  Then the Princess are between 10 Bitcoin and 15 Bitcoin.
• 34:04
  Then the Dukes are between 50 Bitcoin and 100 Bitcoin.
• 34:08
  Then the kings are between 100 Bitcoin and 1000 Bitcoin, and
• 34:13
  then the whale stack, the Emperors are at 1000 Bitcoin.
• 34:16
  And then those two like guys that used to be very popular, I
• 34:20
  don't know what they're called with 10,000 Bitcoin or above.
• 34:23
  Twins. I don't know how you know that
• 34:25
  Opti, but yeah, so. Memes is life and life is memes.
• 34:28
  OK, so Opti just knows all the memes, so this is absolutely
• 34:31
  hilarious. This is Pepe the Frog.
• 34:33
  Like kind of all over the place. To be clear though, Nico, this
• 34:36
  meme is pretty old. Though, like I I forget when
• 34:39
  this meme came around. I got an update.
• 34:41
  I got an update. I got an update.
• 34:43
  I got an update for you guys. This is an old meme.
• 34:45
  So the update on Bitcoin Twitter right now is this one that was
• 34:49
  made recently. There's the debt slave dust or
• 34:53
  no SAT's. Then there's the Bitcoin pleb
• 34:56
  with .01 Bitcoin or more than. There's the Bitcoin soldier with
• 35:01
  .01 to .25 Bitcoin. Then there's the Bitcoin
• 35:05
  mercenary .25 to .5 Bitcoin. I don't know what a Yeo man is,
• 35:10
  but I'll take it. Then there's the Bitcoin Yeo man
• 35:12
  .5 to one Bitcoin. Then there's the Bitcoin knight
• 35:16
  one to three Bitcoin. Then there's the Bitcoin Baron
• 35:19
  three to 10 Bitcoin. Then there's the Bitcoin Lord,
• 35:22
  10 to 20.99 Bitcoin. Then there's the Bitcoin king
• 35:27
  with 21 Bitcoin or above. So it's actually Opti pointed
• 35:31
  out Something really interesting is as time progresses the
• 35:37
  numbers kind of change in terms of what can be considered quote
• 35:42
  UN quote, generational wealth with hyper bitcoinization, which
• 35:45
  I think I think is really interesting.
• 35:47
  Now here's the glass node data and this is something that
• 35:52
  Turdemister recently used in a presentation that he did at
• 35:58
  Bitcoin Commons and it's a video that's actually on the Unchained
• 36:02
  channel right now if you guys want to check it out.
• 36:04
  And essentially the the general gist of the video is that the
• 36:10
  this category of bitcoiners. So the Fish, Dolphin, Shark,
• 36:16
  whale, and humpback, which consists of roughly 25,000
• 36:21
  people that hold this amount of Bitcoin.
• 36:25
  If Bitcoin hits one million U.S. dollars, they're now considered
• 36:31
  ultra high net worth individuals.
• 36:33
  So depending on who you ask, an ultra high net worth individual
• 36:38
  is someone with a net worth of between 30 to 50 million U.S.
• 36:44
  dollars, right? And there's really not that many
• 36:48
  of these folks, right. So if Bitcoin reaches these
• 36:53
  levels, and I don't think it's a question of if, I think it's a
• 36:55
  question of of when there's a, there's going to be a large
• 36:59
  percentage of ultra high net worth individuals that are
• 37:05
  bitcoiners, right? So I think the amount of
• 37:07
  influence that Bitcoiners are going to have on, you know, on
• 37:11
  global affairs, I think it's going to be a lot greater than
• 37:13
  it is now. Now I know, I know what a lot of
• 37:17
  you guys are thinking in terms of what is kind of like the top
• 37:21
  of the food chain in, in, in Fiat terms, right.
• 37:24
  So in Fiat terms, the top of the food chain, a high net worth
• 37:28
  individual is someone who holds $1 million or more.
• 37:32
  Right now that is only, like I said in the very beginning of
• 37:36
  the show, it's 59.4 million people.
• 37:39
  So roughly 60 to 50 million people around the world are
• 37:43
  considered millionaires. But think about how much Bitcoin
• 37:46
  there is. It there is, there's only 21
• 37:49
  million. So how much Bitcoin do you need
• 37:52
  to be? You know, in the high net worth
• 37:55
  class today, you need roughly 15 Bitcoin.
• 37:59
  So 15 * 70,000 is roughly 1,000,000, which is interesting,
• 38:04
  right? Because if you go back to this
• 38:06
  study, the top 1% of Bitcoin holders look at that.
• 38:10
  It's 15 Bitcoin. So could be a total coincidence.
• 38:14
  But I found that really, really fascinating.
• 38:17
  Anyways, so move forward, right? So you know, these are, these
• 38:21
  are large amounts, $1,000,000 is a lot of money, right?
• 38:24
  Money's completely relative. So it, you know, it really
• 38:26
  depends on your situation of course.
• 38:28
  How long have you been stacking all of that stuff?
• 38:31
  And I always, I always push people to Luke Broyle's, you
• 38:36
  know, I think he did a an article or or for Bitcoin
• 38:40
  Magazine and he was basically making the case that if we're
• 38:43
  right about hyper bitcoinization and you know, Bitcoin is this
• 38:47
  absolutely scarce commodity, this absolutely scarce asset,
• 38:52
  the amount of Bitcoin that you'd need to live a good life is a
• 38:56
  lot lower than you would think, right.
• 38:59
  But again, you have to kind of take that low time preference
• 39:02
  mentality. So he arrived to these numbers
• 39:07
  and they're a lot different than these numbers over here from the
• 39:12
  2017 report. And this is what I've been
• 39:15
  telling you that as time progresses it, it seems like the
• 39:19
  amount of Bitcoin required to be considered in the top kind of
• 39:23
  brackets seems to get a little bit lower.
• 39:26
  So according to Luke Broyles is kind of like graph that he put
• 39:30
  together to be in the top 1% with hyper bitcoinization it
• 39:36
  would only cost you about $2000 today.
• 39:39
  To be in the top 10% it would cost you .01 Bitcoin or roughly
• 39:44
  $200. To be in the top 50% it would
• 39:47
  only cost you .0005 to be in the top .0% to top .01% and cost you
• 39:54
  about 10 Bitcoin. So it's interesting how like
• 39:56
  these things change over time. But I know what a lot of you
• 39:59
  guys are thinking. Well a lot of you guys are
• 40:01
  thinking it's like Nico, you know I just want number to go up
• 40:04
  like these are this is like long term thinking.
• 40:07
  You're showing me holy cow you know these percentage terms
• 40:11
  maybe I'm class of 2020, you know I haven't, I haven't been
• 40:14
  stacking, you know for all these years, you know.
• 40:16
  OK fine. I have something for you guys as
• 40:18
  well which is the Kathy Wood predictions and I I would, I
• 40:23
  won't call it predictions The the estimates I guess is a nicer
• 40:27
  way of putting it. But she breaks it down into
• 40:30
  three different categories. So she has the bear case for
• 40:34
  2030, which is roughly $258,000 per coin.
• 40:39
  Look, we're currently sitting at $70,000 in Bitcoin price, OK?
• 40:44
  Do you think that in six years Bitcoin isn't going to go from
• 40:48
  70,000 to 258? Ki mean I I would be extremely
• 40:52
  disappointed if that's all Bitcoin has reached by then.
• 40:56
  Then there's the base case, which I think it's a little bit
• 40:58
  bearish now that we've reached these prices this quickly is the
• 41:02
  $682,000 Bitcoin price. And then the bull case, which by
• 41:07
  the way, she made an update on and she said that that number is
• 41:11
  now significantly higher. She thinks now it's like roughly
• 41:14
  $2,000,000. Her bull case for 2030 is $1.5
• 41:19
  million per coin, right. So I know a lot of you guys are
• 41:23
  thinking I'm late. I'm this, I'm that.
• 41:26
  I mean look I think one, you know, if you can get yourself to
• 41:29
  one Bitcoin $1.48 million potentially is life changing
• 41:33
  money, $682,000 is life changing money.
• 41:38
  But I think just to go back to Luke Broyles chart in terms of
• 41:43
  long term thinking and in terms of the hyper bitcoinization, the
• 41:47
  bull case, you know the epic famous how Finny prediction of
• 41:52
  the ultimate $10 million per coin.
• 41:55
  I I think that we have to kind of zoom out sometimes and we
• 42:00
  have to kind of remember that the people back in 2013, the
• 42:05
  people back in 2015, they thought they were late too.
• 42:09
  Like they thought they missed the boat.
• 42:11
  That's like one of the things I've heard this 1000 times.
• 42:14
  It's like, Oh my God, you know, bitcoins at $100, bitcoins at
• 42:18
  $200, bitcoins at $300.00. And of course, from their
• 42:23
  position, looking back and seeing like people got this for
• 42:27
  a dollar $2.00, you know, $10, it looks like it was late, but
• 42:32
  imagine being able to stack Bitcoin at $300.00.
• 42:36
  If I told you that today, you'd be like, you'd put everything
• 42:40
  you have into this thing. So I'm gonna tell you the same
• 42:44
  thing 10 years from now. I swear to God, I promise you,
• 42:49
  you're going to wish that you did everything in your power to
• 42:54
  be able to stack Bitcoin currently at 69,100.
• 42:58
  And no, I'm going to use the the number from the Clark Booty
• 43:01
  dashboard in the very beginning of the show.
• 43:03
  You're going to wish that you stacked Bitcoin at $69,420.00,
• 43:08
  right? I've seen this happen 1000
• 43:10
  times. I thought I was late too 2016.
• 43:14
  You know, I I was like, God damn, you know, this sucks.
• 43:18
  I have to buy at these prices. But you know, looking back, I
• 43:21
  was like, holy crap, I wish I I I bought more, you know, so this
• 43:26
  thing's going up forever. It's Infinity divided by 21
• 43:29
  million. I hope you guys found value and
• 43:31
  all these kind of, like breakdowns.
• 43:33
  And I know that you guys like this content specifically when
• 43:36
  we cover this topic. Anyways, I'm going to pass it on
• 43:38
  to Brian. Brian, what are your thoughts?
• 43:40
  Do you think those reports are absolutely, completely wrong?
• 43:44
  Do you think they're just guessing, 'cause there's really
• 43:46
  no way to know for sure? Like you kind of have to do a
• 43:49
  little bit of like blockchain analytics to kind of see.
• 43:52
  But you know, you can do a little bit of math, right?
• 43:55
  You can, you can divide 1000 Bitcoin by 21 million and you
• 43:58
  can come up with a number. There's only so many people that
• 44:00
  could ever have this much Bitcoin, so I guess it's like
• 44:03
  following the Pareto principle a little bit.
• 44:05
  Doing a little bit of guesses, a little bit of, you know,
• 44:08
  educated guesses. I would say so.
• 44:10
  Anyways, I want to know your thoughts.
• 44:12
  Yeah. No, I think the sample size is
• 44:14
  large enough you're you're dealing with hundreds of
• 44:16
  thousands of addresses. And so I think that you can make
• 44:20
  some general estimations on that.
• 44:22
  I think that I think that's perfectly appropriate.
• 44:25
  Like, like you said though, the what that data means from 7
• 44:30
  years ago isn't irrelevant today, it's just outdated.
• 44:33
  And so you continue to update that like you look at Luke
• 44:35
  Broyles, which was obviously far more accurate than the 2017
• 44:38
  model just because things have changed since then.
• 44:42
  I was just kind of running the numbers while you were talking
• 44:45
  in the 2017 chart that you showed the first one it was
• 44:50
  Bitcoin was at $4338 on the day that that that snapshot was
• 44:56
  taken when you needed ten bitcoins.
• 44:58
  So for people who were like, man, I I have 10 Bitcoin and
• 45:01
  that only puts me in the top 2%. I think people were like in the
• 45:03
  chat were kind of like oh I'm only A2 percenter, I'm only A10
• 45:06
  percenter. Obviously they recognize that
• 45:09
  that was that was seven years ago.
• 45:11
  If you Fast forward to today. So.
• 45:13
  So by that day's standard that was to be in the top 2%, you
• 45:18
  would have $43,000 worth of Bitcoin.
• 45:20
  If you want to think in terms of dollar value today those 10
• 45:24
  Bitcoin are $694,000. That's a that's a 16 times
• 45:28
  increase and and shockingly enough to match 10 Bitcoin from
• 45:33
  from 10 year or from 7 years ago, you need .625 exactly .625,
• 45:39
  which I find interesting Bitcoin today to be that 2% number in
• 45:44
  terms of dollar value from 7 years ago.
• 45:46
  So it's wild to think that you needed to have 10 Bitcoin seven
• 45:49
  years ago to be in the top 2%. Now that number is .625 Bitcoin
• 45:54
  to be at that same level. That's that's the power of
• 45:57
  Bitcoin. That's that is accurate in terms
• 46:00
  of that makes a lot of sense to me.
• 46:02
  That number seems accurate today.
• 46:03
  That number seems accurate seven years ago and and going back to
• 46:06
  that idea that people say you're lucky if you get into Bitcoin,
• 46:11
  if you can explain why you bought Bitcoin, you weren't
• 46:14
  lucky. It's like if you're playing golf
• 46:17
  and and and you hit a great shot and you adjusted for the wind
• 46:21
  and you adjusted for the fairway and and you took all the the the
• 46:24
  the variables into account and then still hit a great shot.
• 46:27
  Good for you. You hit a great shot.
• 46:29
  If you go out there, close your eyes and you, you just swing,
• 46:32
  then yeah, you got lucky. Maybe you started Bitcoin
• 46:35
  getting lucky, but today if you can articulate why you're in
• 46:38
  Bitcoin, you're not lucky at all.
• 46:40
  So the day of Portnoy is of the world that that are looking at
• 46:42
  these things and seeing wow, the the the top 2%, the top 1%, the
• 46:47
  top 5.5%, wealthiest people in the world, they're getting
• 46:52
  lucky. They're not everybody in the
• 46:54
  chat right now. Anybody watching the show can
• 46:57
  articulate why they're in Bitcoin and therefore you're not
• 47:00
  lucky for being here. 100% and again like it.
• 47:03
  I I love the meme of like you got lucky when you got into
• 47:06
  Bitcoin and then you're just like this like beat up like
• 47:10
  person because it is so so true and you know Brian that they
• 47:15
  appreciate you kind of running the numbers and stuff and and it
• 47:18
  reminds me of it reminds me of a very very good American huddle
• 47:25
  noster post that he posted he posted a couple you know a
• 47:30
  couple days ago which I literally cannot find at the
• 47:33
  moment which kind of sucks. Anyways, Opti, what are your
• 47:35
  What's your take on this while I find the the the American Hotto
• 47:39
  posts? All right, great.
• 47:41
  Yeah, I mean, I really, I really love Brian doing the numbers,
• 47:44
  running the numbers for us because that was kind of what I
• 47:47
  was going to say as well. Like, I think the big trend from
• 47:49
  all of these numbers and everyone trying to do the
• 47:52
  research to try to figure out what an acceptable amount of
• 47:55
  Bitcoin you should be holding holds is that like it is
• 47:59
  changing in real time. And I'm really glad that Brian
• 48:02
  ran the numbers because it just goes to show you the power of
• 48:05
  saving in something that cannot be debased.
• 48:07
  And I think the goal has always been the same.
• 48:10
  Anyone that first years about Bitcoin or gets into Bitcoin, or
• 48:13
  at least this was true for me when I got into Bitcoin.
• 48:16
  The goal was always the same, just try to get to 1 coin, try
• 48:19
  to huddle one coin and then everyone of course adds some
• 48:22
  memes on top of it, like shouts out the huddle again.
• 48:24
  You know 6.15 for eternal riches and if you've been around you
• 48:28
  know the meme. But the the goal has always been
• 48:30
  the same. Try to hold as much Bitcoin as
• 48:34
  you can get your hands on for as long as possible.
• 48:37
  This is why I have tried to create the meme of holding and
• 48:42
  saving in Bitcoin is playing Hungry Hippo.
• 48:44
  The game is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible for as
• 48:47
  long as possible. And what?
• 48:49
  So the sailor and Kaiser memes that it's like he who holds the
• 48:52
  Bitcoin wins. He who acquires the most
• 48:55
  bitcoins win. There's one game being played
• 48:58
  right now and try to save as much Bitcoin as possible and
• 49:01
  hold that for as long as possible.
• 49:03
  And then just kind of adding on to what Brian was saying, which
• 49:06
  was another idea that that I was kind of percolating on is like,
• 49:10
  I know when you're looking at these numbers, you're like, man,
• 49:13
  it like shames us into how small our stacks really are.
• 49:15
  Like, I know when sailor stacks another thousand Bitcoin, you're
• 49:19
  like, man, like, I really wish I could stack that much Bitcoin
• 49:22
  right now. And he's buying more Bitcoin
• 49:24
  than most of us will probably ever even imagine getting in our
• 49:28
  lifetimes. But I really like the, what's it
• 49:31
  called the Bitcoin per person chart.
• 49:33
  It's like a website. You guys can Google it.
• 49:34
  Bitcoin per person. Of course, you know not all
• 49:37
  things are ever going to be equal.
• 49:38
  But this makes you feel a little better about the stacks that
• 49:41
  we're holding When you realize, you know if you divide what, 8
• 49:44
  billion people divided by 21 million, I think the number
• 49:47
  right now is roughly around 240,000 stats.
• 49:51
  So if you can acquire even that. And of course I I kind of don't
• 49:55
  like using the framing because it it does kind of go down to
• 49:58
  like collectivist pass. But if all things were equal and
• 50:01
  every person on planet Earth held some Bitcoin today, then
• 50:05
  that holding would roughly be around 240,000 saps.
• 50:08
  Which, I don't know what the math is right now, but it can't
• 50:11
  be more than a couple 100 bucks to get that exposure.
• 50:14
  And of course, maybe 70K right now.
• 50:17
  For one, Bitcoin is outside of most people's median incomes and
• 50:21
  not even they might be out of reach for you.
• 50:23
  But the name of the game is still the same.
• 50:25
  Try to acquire as much Bitcoin as humanly possible and then
• 50:30
  kind of flipping the script on its head a little bit.
• 50:33
  You know, I know we were talking about how much Bitcoin you need
• 50:36
  to be in the 1% of Bitcoin holders, But flipping that
• 50:39
  script a little bit, I think if you own Bitcoin today, you're
• 50:42
  already in the 1%. It's just a different, different
• 50:45
  1% you're in. You're in the 1% of the
• 50:47
  population that understands that Bitcoin is the superior money
• 50:51
  and you you can continue to stack Bitcoin while everyone
• 50:55
  else out there is calling you an idiot.
• 50:57
  Like if you are saving in Bitcoin, in my opinion you're
• 51:00
  already in the 1% of the population that holds Bitcoin
• 51:04
  and I think that's going to be the true number moving forward.
• 51:07
  Again, the goal is to get off 0 and accumulate as much of
• 51:11
  Bitcoin as possible. And as we're showing and Brian,
• 51:13
  running the again, your life gets cheaper on Bitcoin.
• 51:16
  And that's the goal. Like you never want to go back
• 51:19
  into the Fiat system. You understand that?
• 51:21
  Yeah, I want to spend my dollars in saving Bitcoin because
• 51:24
  Bitcoin is the hardest money, the best or value the last 15
• 51:28
  years. It is the only thing that isn't
• 51:30
  going to leak value through time and space.
• 51:32
  And This is why you want to be holding Bitcoin.
• 51:34
  Like I say it all the time. Once you know why you huddle,
• 51:37
  the huddle becomes easier and you realize all the games of the
• 51:40
  Fiat world and you're like, I don't want any part of that.
• 51:42
  I'm just going to save in Bitcoin.
• 51:43
  It's the best way to store for my value.
• 51:45
  And then another thing that we always talk about too is the
• 51:48
  idea that there's what around like 50 million millionaires in
• 51:52
  the world, 50 + 1,000,000 millionaires in the world, and
• 51:54
  they can't all get a single Bitcoin.
• 51:57
  So that just goes to show that we really still don't understand
• 52:01
  what the 21 million hard cap of Bitcoin really means and the
• 52:06
  effects that that will be that the effects that that will have
• 52:09
  on society. So like if you hold a coin,
• 52:12
  maybe even half a coin, like you're already in my opinion,
• 52:15
  one of the wealthier people on planet Earth.
• 52:17
  And if you're able to hold that going forward, then of course
• 52:21
  anything you hold today is going to be generational wealth.
• 52:24
  And remember, guys shouts out to our boy CK snarks, you know, 32
• 52:29
  stats is generational wealth. So like what you're holding
• 52:32
  today is going to eventually be a whole block reward from the
• 52:37
  Bitcoin network. Like, I don't think you guys
• 52:39
  fully understand what that means.
• 52:41
  What's the block reward today? It's 6.25.
• 52:44
  It's going to get cut in half and it's going to continue to
• 52:46
  get cut in half for four years. And just understand how much
• 52:50
  economic value is being compacted into that block reward
• 52:55
  of Bitcoin point every 10 minutes.
• 52:57
  And if you can hold, you know, even a block reward, what, ten,
• 53:00
  20-30 years down the road, like you got to flip your your, your
• 53:05
  operating system here and realize Oh my God, like 32 sats
• 53:09
  might actually be generational wealth when you understand that
• 53:12
  that is going to be the amount of capital to secure the Bitcoin
• 53:16
  network every 10 minutes. So, like, I really think we
• 53:20
  underestimate the true value of Bitcoin.
• 53:22
  But of course the name of the game is still the same.
• 53:24
  Try to get as much Bitcoin as humanly possible.
• 53:26
  Take it into cold storage, continuous to access every
• 53:29
  single day or week or month or whatever you can.
• 53:32
  The the game never stops. It's hungry.
• 53:34
  Hippo with Bitcoin hold as much as humanly.
• 53:36
  Possible bars. Bars.
• 53:38
  OK, so before we get on to the culture to talk to Brian, I do
• 53:41
  want to read the American huddle, Nostrapost says.
• 53:45
  Thinking it's too late for you to get into Bitcoin is an
• 53:48
  illusion of ego. Sure, you didn't get in at $6 or
• 53:52
  even 6000 and others who did, or higher status than you, but
• 53:55
  that's a side That's your ego fucking with you.
• 53:58
  This isn't about pride, it's about money.
• 54:01
  We're still early in Bitcoin story 66,000 mind you it's at 69
• 54:06
  now. 66,000 is still cheap. Believe it or not, we we have
• 54:10
  100 X left to go at minimum. Your ego is not your amigo.
• 54:15
  It's trying to keep you from riches.
• 54:16
  Do not listen to it. And I think that's an epic, epic
• 54:19
  post from American Huddle and, you know, jump on the train or
• 54:24
  get left behind. All right, everybody, let's get

• 55:19
  We have Brian De Mint. He's also a Jiu Jitsu master and
• 55:23
  he will F you up on the. Do not test him to a fight and
• 55:27
  also he's 7 feet tall like come on.
• 55:29
  Guys this is the this is the this is the ultimate, this is
• 55:33
  the ultimate Chad meme without the beard.
• 55:36
  This is Brian De Mint. Anyways Brian, let's talk about,
• 55:42
  let's talk about your book then let's talk about the orange
• 55:45
  Palap. You just, you just released
• 55:47
  this, you had a a signing, a book signing at Bitcoin
• 55:52
  Atlantis, and this is Brian De Mint with Knut's Van Home and
• 55:57
  Daniel Prince. The name of the book is called
• 56:00
  Parallel, the Bitcoin Social layer.
• 56:02
  First of all, what inspired you to write this?
• 56:06
  Why did you want to write it? And I'm grateful I got copy #17
• 56:10
  out of 60. Got a scarce copy, everybody.
• 56:13
  So you know, what inspired you to write this?
• 56:15
  And what is this book about? Well I mean honestly what
• 56:19
  inspired me was the when I bought Bitcoin this is this
• 56:25
  month or next month marks 10 year anniversary of the first
• 56:28
  stats that I bought. I remember telling my wife and
• 56:32
  she kind of got orange peeled a little bit at the same time she
• 56:34
  was along for the journey with me and she goes well and I
• 56:37
  remember telling her hey, bitcoins going to go to $10,000
• 56:41
  someday. We're not selling just so you
• 56:43
  know like that's that's the strategy here.
• 56:45
  We're we're we're going to continue to hold even when it
• 56:47
  hits this 10th. And that sounded crazy because
• 56:49
  it was $270 a coin back then and she goes, OK then like when when
• 56:54
  will we sell? I said I know exactly when we're
• 56:57
  going to sell. We will sell our Bitcoin or some
• 57:00
  of it. When we can buy things with it.
• 57:02
  That will always be our cash out.
• 57:04
  Not an exit strategy because we will never exit.
• 57:06
  Our savings will always be in Bitcoin.
• 57:08
  I knew this even back then but our spending will be in Bitcoin.
• 57:11
  I didn't even call it SATS. I just called it pieces of
• 57:13
  Bitcoin at that time. Like that was that was how new I
• 57:15
  was to Bitcoin and and and it wasn't you didn't talk about
• 57:18
  SATS back then like we're just starting to use SATS in terms of
• 57:21
  the transactional like the the term existed but in terms of
• 57:25
  people thinking about it we talked about .001 Bitcoin and
• 57:29
  things like that at the time. So this idea of spending it was
• 57:32
  was always on my heart and honestly the the the title of
• 57:36
  the Bitcoin white paper is is very relevant.
• 57:39
  Bitcoin a peer-to-peer electronic cash system like
• 57:42
  Satoshi had a specific intent and now just because Satoshi
• 57:46
  said something doesn't mean that that's what we have to do.
• 57:48
  If you want to use Bitcoin as superior savings and you just
• 57:51
  want to store your family's wealth and pass it from
• 57:55
  generation to generation, by all means do that.
• 57:58
  But I think Satoshi's intent was for you and I to transact the
• 58:03
  goods and services that one of us provides for the other.
• 58:06
  That would be a beautiful thing if we didn't have a middleman
• 58:09
  between that transaction. And I think it's kind of sad
• 58:12
  that we live in an era where we have a money that we don't
• 58:16
  require any third party to be in between us to transact.
• 58:21
  And yet we still opt into a system where we we pay a little
• 58:26
  bit off the top for Visa and MasterCard.
• 58:27
  We pay a little off the top for for an ACH transfer through our
• 58:30
  bank. We still seek out middleman and
• 58:33
  and again I'm not perfect I'm I'm I'm I'm myself trying to
• 58:36
  move towards a Bitcoin standard in in my expenses.
• 58:39
  I I buy more things than Bitcoin, but I still do.
• 58:41
  There's still plenty of purchases I make through the
• 58:44
  traditional payment rails. But it is one of those things.
• 58:46
  You think about it, we live in an era where we we can opt into
• 58:50
  that better system as as pretty much as often as we want.
• 58:55
  There's people out there for almost every good or service
• 58:58
  that you want. You might have to do a little
• 59:00
  bit of digging. You might have to do a little
• 59:01
  bit of searching, but there's people who do want to sell you
• 59:05
  what you need and they're willing to take Bitcoin for it.
• 59:08
  And so I think that that it's sad that those people exist.
• 59:12
  We have a money that enables that.
• 59:14
  But yet the idea hasn't really seemed to permeate throughout
• 59:17
  Bitcoin because I think so many people think, well, there's just
• 59:21
  not people out there that accept Bitcoin or we even maybe
• 59:23
  sometimes buy into the mainstream narratives because we
• 59:25
  hear CNBC anchors talking about you can't buy your coffee and
• 59:30
  Bitcoin. Again, that's a lie.
• 59:32
  We have people on Orangeville app.
• 59:34
  The Mukano coffee guy who we did a Twitter space the other day,
• 59:37
  he goes, that drives me crazy every time I hear that because I
• 59:40
  he this is what he was saying. He goes I own a coffee shop
• 59:43
  where we accept Bitcoin. So I can verifiably say that
• 59:46
  that's a lie. And so it's one of those things
• 59:48
  where it's not true that you can't support your life or
• 59:53
  sustain your life in Bitcoin. It it is actually a fact that
• 59:56
  you can do it if you do some digging.
• 59:57
  If you look around on the Internet or you look around your
• 1:00:01
  and try to find local places, you can do that.
• 1:00:04
  It's just that I don't think that it's it's a a common
• 1:00:07
  knowledge yet and so that's the hope of the book.
• 1:00:09
  I believe that that parallel is the start of a third wave of
• 1:00:12
  books now. Now it's not because I'm
• 1:00:14
  anything special. Obviously Newton and Daniel
• 1:00:16
  Prince, those those are some special guys, my co-authors.
• 1:00:20
  But I think that that's the maturation of Bitcoin.
• 1:00:22
  We've been talking about the maturation of Bitcoin price or
• 1:00:26
  Bitcoin buying power. Well what about the maturation
• 1:00:28
  of Bitcoin ideas and books? The 1st, the 1st wave, the first
• 1:00:32
  generation was your your Von Mises and your your Roth bars
• 1:00:36
  and those types of guys, the pre Bitcoin books that were the
• 1:00:39
  liberty principles, the sovereign individual, that type
• 1:00:42
  of of literature that existed and helped create Bitcoin.
• 1:00:46
  And then there was the 2nd wave, there's the Bitcoin standard and
• 1:00:49
  there's there's there's broken money and all these these
• 1:00:51
  fantastic books. I, I, I, I wrote Bitcoin
• 1:00:54
  evangelism. It's in that kind of same vein
• 1:00:56
  where it's about trying to understand Bitcoin.
• 1:00:59
  OK so there was the pre Bitcoin books and now there's the here's
• 1:01:01
  how you understand Bitcoin books and now we're starting to see
• 1:01:04
  the 3rd wave. And those are that's the way
• 1:01:06
  where it's what do we do with Bitcoin.
• 1:01:08
  We understand it. Obviously the 2nd wave of books
• 1:01:11
  still needs to exist because there's still millions and
• 1:01:14
  millions of people that need to be orange filled.
• 1:01:15
  There are billions of people that need to be orange filled.
• 1:01:17
  So those are going to continue to exist.
• 1:01:19
  Just like we still read Rothbard, we still read Von
• 1:01:22
  Mises, we still read the sovereign individual.
• 1:01:24
  Those books are always going to be important, but now we have a
• 1:01:26
  third generation of books that are coming online and there's
• 1:01:29
  other authors that are coming out with similar stuff.
• 1:01:31
  It's pushing and advocating for the use of Bitcoin into creation
• 1:01:35
  of the parallel economy. I think that's the biggest idea
• 1:01:38
  in Bitcoin. It's bigger than Bitcoin ETFs.
• 1:01:40
  It's bigger than Bitcoin as gold.
• 1:01:42
  And I'm going to make a statement right here that I
• 1:01:44
  think is absolutely true. I think the difference between
• 1:01:48
  your buying power and Bitcoin today versus when we get the
• 1:01:51
  hyper bitcoinization, that's going to be a bigger jump than
• 1:01:55
  the guys who got in in 2010 and bought Bitcoin for a penny or
• 1:01:58
  $0.10. I actually think you're going to
• 1:02:01
  get a greater appreciation on your buying power at hyper
• 1:02:05
  bitcoinization than the people, the OG.
• 1:02:07
  So I mean kind of fits into what we were talking about today.
• 1:02:10
  Oh man, I wish I would have been able to buy 7500 Bitcoin for 5
• 1:02:13
  bucks or whatever it was, or for 10 bucks.
• 1:02:16
  I actually think whatever value you buy in Bitcoin, it's
• 1:02:19
  actually going to appreciate more.
• 1:02:21
  I know that sounds kind of crazy, but let me just throw
• 1:02:23
  this one little stat at you. Every currency, every Bitcoin.
• 1:02:27
  And by the way, every bitcoiner I think agrees that Fiat
• 1:02:30
  currencies only end in hyperinflation, right?
• 1:02:33
  Well, what happens to a currency when it goes to hyperinflation?
• 1:02:37
  It you tend to get to where the smallest unit is a is a trillion
• 1:02:41
  dollar or a multiple trillion dollar note.
• 1:02:44
  Weimar Germany the Austrian inflation, the Hungarian
• 1:02:48
  inflation, the Nigerian inflation, Zimbabwe inflation,
• 1:02:51
  they always get to trillion. Mark notes that the trillion
• 1:02:55
  trillion note, if the dollar ever gets to a trillion dollar
• 1:03:00
  note, that means the Bitcoin, like an entire Bitcoin $69,000
• 1:03:06
  will actually have the equivalent value of less than a
• 1:03:08
  penny. So every dollar you spend right
• 1:03:12
  now is actually going to increase more than had you
• 1:03:14
  bought Bitcoin for a penny 12 years ago.
• 1:03:17
  And so I know that's a sensational statement, but right
• 1:03:19
  now we're at I I would guess less than actual an actual
• 1:03:23
  adoption of less than 1% of the world has truly adopted Bitcoin.
• 1:03:28
  Why do we think that that's the the vast majority.
• 1:03:30
  Why do we think there's only a 10X increase in the buying power
• 1:03:33
  of Bitcoin when 1% of the world's adopted it?
• 1:03:36
  There's still 99% to go. 1%'s gotten us to this point.
• 1:03:40
  What happens when you get to 2%? What happens when you get to 3%?
• 1:03:43
  I actually think we're going to see a much, much greater buying
• 1:03:46
  power appreciation because of the development of the parallel
• 1:03:50
  economy and everything that comes with it.
• 1:03:52
  Love it, love it. Brian.
• 1:03:53
  Everyone. Everyone saying he's the leader
• 1:03:55
  of the Bullard Bros let's go, $100 trillion Bitcoin coming for
• 1:04:01
  coming here soon. You heard it here first from
• 1:04:03
  Brian. Guys, if you want more
• 1:04:06
  information what Brian was talking about, check out
• 1:04:09
  Parallel. The Bitcoin social layer has
• 1:04:11
  everything what Brian was just talking about and more.
• 1:04:14
  You have to go check out this book.
• 1:04:16
  I want to add something. Then before you go to I'm.
• 1:04:18
  Showing it off, I got mine signed.
• 1:04:21
  Brian Brian said something that I wanted to say in the last bit,
• 1:04:24
  and it's exactly what he just said about like maybe we're at
• 1:04:28
  1% of the population adopting Bitcoin, but like go outside.
• 1:04:32
  I know you bitcoiners don't go outside and you don't talk to
• 1:04:35
  normies anymore. But like if you do go outside
• 1:04:37
  and talk to normies and you ask them about Bitcoin, most people
• 1:04:41
  that you come in contact with they're like oh you're a
• 1:04:44
  bitcoiner. Like you're stupid and you're
• 1:04:46
  not. I don't own this Bitcoin in for
• 1:04:47
  criminals and it's like just have conversations with people
• 1:04:50
  and and you you will get the idea that you're still early and
• 1:04:54
  this this should get you even more hype to stack Bitcoin.
• 1:04:56
  Anyways, sorry tangent Brian, there was something we wanted to
• 1:05:00
  talk about before. There might be a simply Bitcoin
• 1:05:03
  nod in the parallel book. Absolutely.
• 1:05:08
  So I I'm a viewer of the show. I mean like I'm I'm if you guys
• 1:05:13
  are in the comments or the chat, like you're usually seeing me in
• 1:05:15
  the comments of the chat. I love simply Bitcoin.
• 1:05:17
  Like this is this is my favorite morning show I was just talking
• 1:05:20
  to. I actually had a meet up with
• 1:05:21
  the guy from Orangeville app. He he met me at one of my stores
• 1:05:25
  yesterday. Dude Ryan, he has a he has a
• 1:05:28
  startup YouTube channel himself 100 trillion.
• 1:05:31
  Go check it out. But we were just talking about
• 1:05:33
  this this yesterday. It's like how how great of a
• 1:05:36
  show like simply bitcoins. One of those shows that you can
• 1:05:39
  sit down and watch it or sometimes if I'm just working
• 1:05:42
  it's like a show that's on in the background because like as
• 1:05:44
  soon as the intro song hits it just gets you pumped.
• 1:05:48
  You guys always bring a good energy and it's like that's what
• 1:05:50
  we need in the Bitcoin community and so so I'm I was like
• 1:05:54
  honored. I actually asked you guys if I
• 1:05:56
  can name one of the chapters after one of your guys' famous
• 1:05:59
  sayings and and you guys were more than gracious to to to to
• 1:06:03
  do so. But the first half of the book
• 1:06:06
  it's about the bad news. You can never understand the
• 1:06:08
  good news or the promise of the new system unless you unless you
• 1:06:12
  understand the old system And and I don't rehash a lot of the
• 1:06:15
  things that you're going to read in other books about what what's
• 1:06:17
  broken with the Fiat system. We kind of take a new approach
• 1:06:20
  of how the propaganda leads us down into the Fiat system that
• 1:06:24
  we're in right now. And and so chapter 5 is called
• 1:06:28
  the How to How to make yourself resistant to the tools of the
• 1:06:33
  Puppet masters. And it goes through a a a list
• 1:06:36
  of how propaganda is used to create the the Fiat social
• 1:06:40
  layer. So not what is the Fiat social
• 1:06:42
  layer, but how is it developed in a society?
• 1:06:45
  Why would a society ever adopt it?
• 1:06:46
  But when you have a a tightly wound mess like the Fiat social
• 1:06:51
  layer, it begs the question how do you unwind that?
• 1:06:55
  And the answer is you do it through a propaganda machine of
• 1:06:58
  your own. You do it through Mematic
• 1:06:59
  Warfare and so, so chapter chapter six of the book is about
• 1:07:03
  unwinding the propaganda of the Fiat social layer and it's it's
• 1:07:07
  perfectly called, I'll say it because it's not my phrase, it's
• 1:07:10
  perfectly called tweets are the bullets and memes are the
• 1:07:13
  artillery and you guys say that all the time.
• 1:07:16
  And it's absolutely true. And and why that's so important
• 1:07:19
  to me is because the best ammunition I use for orange
• 1:07:23
  filling people is is not always great witty arguments or really
• 1:07:28
  in depth, long explanations. It's a meme.
• 1:07:32
  And when I just send a meme to my family members and it's just
• 1:07:35
  I the best thing you can do is send a meme and don't say
• 1:07:38
  anything, just let it percolate, let it happen.
• 1:07:40
  And the the amount of understanding, the amount of
• 1:07:43
  questions that come out of that is, is amazing.
• 1:07:46
  And so yeah, I mean that's that's that's how we start to
• 1:07:49
  unwind the Fiat social layer is through positive programming,
• 1:07:53
  right. And and and not all propaganda
• 1:07:55
  is bad. Not all programming is bad
• 1:07:57
  because what what memes do is they don't teach you what to
• 1:08:01
  think. They teach you how to think,
• 1:08:03
  right. They teach you how to ask
• 1:08:04
  questions. The Fiat social layer, their
• 1:08:06
  propaganda machine is all you need to do this.
• 1:08:09
  What the education system trains you to think you think this way.
• 1:08:12
  The media teaches you. You are supposed to be offended
• 1:08:15
  by this. What the fee or what the Bitcoin
• 1:08:18
  Bitcoin social layer does is it enriches you with information.
• 1:08:21
  It presents you with a fact and then tells you to ask a question
• 1:08:24
  about it. That's exactly what memes do,
• 1:08:26
  and that's why bitcoiners are so high Signal and it's it's so
• 1:08:30
  rich and rewarding to be surrounded by them.
• 1:08:32
  That's actually part of the reason why I work at Orangeville
• 1:08:34
  App, because I find the Bitcoin community as as one of the most
• 1:08:38
  important elements of Bitcoin. That's what we call it, the
• 1:08:41
  Bitcoin social layer. It's the Bitcoin social layer.
• 1:08:45
  Bitcoin is the people, and without the people, Bitcoin
• 1:08:48
  falls apart. So continuing to Foster and
• 1:08:51
  enrich that that community is one of the most important things
• 1:08:54
  you can do in Bitcoin. Love it Brian.
• 1:08:56
  Love it and and really appreciate the kind words, bro.
• 1:08:59
  Anyways, we're. Honored, man.
• 1:09:01
  We're honored to be included in, you know, in this book, man.
• 1:09:04
  But let's give it the conversation a little bit.
• 1:09:06
  You mentioned Orange Pill app. We got a great comment here by
• 1:09:08
  Keith. He said the Orange Pill app got
• 1:09:10
  me in touch with a monthly meet up that has been going strong
• 1:09:12
  almost a year. So let's talk Orange Pill app
• 1:09:15
  for those that don't know what Orange Pill app, let's start
• 1:09:18
  there and then maybe you can tell us what's on the road map
• 1:09:21
  for you guys this year. Yeah, it's it's really simple.
• 1:09:24
  Orange Pill app is all about meeting other bitcoiners in real
• 1:09:27
  life. So we have great tools.
• 1:09:29
  We have Twitter, we have Noster, we have you can use Facebook.
• 1:09:32
  Whatever you want to use for your online community, that's
• 1:09:35
  fantastic. That's how bitcoins gotten to
• 1:09:37
  where it is today because there's there's an online
• 1:09:40
  presence that's part of the resistance, right?
• 1:09:43
  If if the tyrants ever want to come down on Bitcoin, then yes,
• 1:09:48
  the more connections you have with other bitcoiners the
• 1:09:51
  better. But at the end of the day the
• 1:09:52
  most censorship resistant type of connection you can have is an
• 1:09:56
  in real life connection because if they cut the power off to
• 1:09:59
  your to your Internet then you always have the option to walk
• 1:10:03
  down the street and hang out with your buddy who you know in
• 1:10:06
  person. And so we see that as a critical
• 1:10:09
  element of making the Bitcoin community anti fragile and and
• 1:10:13
  not everybody's thinking about it from a like let's let's wage
• 1:10:16
  war on the existing system. Some people just want to have a
• 1:10:19
  good Bitcoin conversation and that's most of what's happening.
• 1:10:22
  People are just getting on the app we we've designed the app.
• 1:10:25
  I didn't the the brilliant devs and Matteo designed the app but
• 1:10:30
  it doesn't have a feed. It's all about getting in there,
• 1:10:34
  talking to another bitcoiner with a message and then setting
• 1:10:37
  up a meet up or going to an event or or finding the local
• 1:10:41
  Bitcoin merchant that's in real life that you can go and spend
• 1:10:44
  your stats at that day. So everything is revolved around
• 1:10:47
  not getting into the app so that you're doomed scrolling and
• 1:10:49
  you're seeing ads because we don't sell your data, we don't
• 1:10:52
  have ads or anything like that. It's all about person to person
• 1:10:56
  connection. Our goal is for you to use the
• 1:10:58
  app for 15 seconds a day. Boom, go in, send a message,
• 1:11:02
  read a message, communicate, and then go meet another bitcoiner.
• 1:11:06
  If you've ever been to a Bitcoin conference, which I know you
• 1:11:09
  guys have, I mean, I've seen you guys did a few of them, but but
• 1:11:12
  if most bitcoiners haven't, I was in Bitcoin for a long time
• 1:11:15
  before I ever went to a Bitcoin conference or a meet up or
• 1:11:18
  anything like that. Guys, It is so enriching and
• 1:11:21
  rewarding to do that because you instantly have a connection with
• 1:11:24
  other bitcoiners. And it's it's different when you
• 1:11:27
  can look somebody in the eye and you can shake their hand.
• 1:11:30
  And those are the people that you will continue to have a
• 1:11:33
  little extra relationship with just because of the fact that
• 1:11:37
  you know them in person. And now it's like, not as
• 1:11:39
  awkward to to tell your wife that, hey, I'm going out to hang
• 1:11:43
  out with my buddy and it's like, oh, it's like a real person,
• 1:11:45
  right? It's not just some dude that you
• 1:11:47
  talk to online. Like there's an actual real
• 1:11:50
  legitimate aspect to that connection and we need that in
• 1:11:54
  Bitcoin. It's absolutely critical for an
• 1:11:56
  in real life component for Bitcoin to exist.
• 1:11:58
  And so that's that's why we exist is to facilitate that.
• 1:12:01
  100% guys, it's not. It's, you know, you need you
• 1:12:04
  need to actually interact in meat space.
• 1:12:06
  Like meat space is a thing. It's real.
• 1:12:08
  The sun is good for you, you know.
• 1:12:11
  And it's good to talk to other human beings in the flesh in in
• 1:12:15
  real life. And yeah, and I'll just explain
• 1:12:19
  my personal story with the Orange Pill, Orange Pill app,
• 1:12:23
  'cause I think it's, it's and I'm 100% positive.
• 1:12:26
  Other bit corners have experienced this before.
• 1:12:31
  Good friends with with Sal and he helps me like train and stuff
• 1:12:35
  and like lift weights and he's like dude, like we we connected
• 1:12:38
  via the Orange Pill app. But one of the best stories
• 1:12:41
  originally was Matteo the the Founder.
• 1:12:44
  And and we connected over and he's like, and somehow we were
• 1:12:48
  just like, dude, like you're coming to Miami for the
• 1:12:50
  conference whatever. And like something like led to
• 1:12:53
  another. And I was like do you like do
• 1:12:54
  you need a place to stay? Like I have my couch, bro.
• 1:12:56
  Like, you know and like we don't really know each other.
• 1:12:58
  But I know he's a bit coiner. Like I know of the Orange pill
• 1:13:01
  app and he's like, yeah, sure, so like spontaneous.
• 1:13:05
  We've never met each other in real life.
• 1:13:06
  Whatever. He chose up to my apartment,
• 1:13:09
  coming back from his flight at like 1:00 AM and, like it's kind
• 1:13:13
  of dark. So like, I don't really see his
• 1:13:15
  face. We like have the conversation in
• 1:13:17
  the morning. He's absolutely he's just gone.
• 1:13:19
  And you know that happened all via the orange flap.
• 1:13:21
  And then what I didn't know is that Brian apparently picked him
• 1:13:24
  up the next morning from my apartment on Miami Beach.
• 1:13:27
  And I was just like what like like you know this is this is
• 1:13:31
  such like kind of like a a bit Coiner S story cause imagine it
• 1:13:37
  this would never happen in any other social media app like
• 1:13:39
  you'd be sketched the F out, you'd be like this is weird, you
• 1:13:44
  know. But I felt comfortable and I was
• 1:13:45
  like OK this Mateo, this is you know Orange palap.
• 1:13:48
  You know like I feel comfortable with this.
• 1:13:50
  And that's one of the things that what I like about your guys
• 1:13:53
  app is the aspect of you're not going to find any shit corners
• 1:13:58
  on there. So like, you guys have developed
• 1:14:00
  some type of filter that I feel comfortable like and I'm telling
• 1:14:04
  you this from experience. And I get messages all the time
• 1:14:07
  like, hey Nico, I like to show I like simply Bitcoin.
• 1:14:10
  I wanna connect. I have not gotten one message.
• 1:14:14
  I'm not exaggerating or it's someone like a Twitter DM.
• 1:14:17
  You know, the Twitter DMS where it's like unfollowed people and
• 1:14:19
  you go into that and it's like it's absolutely atrocious.
• 1:14:23
  You don't have that experience whatsoever on the Orange Pelap.
• 1:14:27
  I only interact and I only get messages from Bitcoiners and I
• 1:14:31
  actually take the time to go one by one and respond to them,
• 1:14:35
  which is something that I don't do on Twitter because there's
• 1:14:37
  just, you know, it's just flooded with garbage.
• 1:14:40
  So how did you, how did you guys do that?
• 1:14:42
  Like, how did you guys pull that off?
• 1:14:44
  How did you guys pull off that user experience, 'cause that's
• 1:14:48
  something that I want the audience to understand.
• 1:14:50
  When you're on the Orange Pull app, you're connecting with
• 1:14:53
  other bitcoiners and the you know, my personal experience
• 1:14:57
  with with the app is that's the only thing I've ever witnessed
• 1:15:01
  myself. Yeah.
• 1:15:02
  And you're right. That's one of the core
• 1:15:04
  competencies of Orange Pull. That's that's the advantage we
• 1:15:07
  have in the marketplace and and I'll get into why that is in a
• 1:15:11
  second. But you think about where, where
• 1:15:13
  are things heading. I mean is AIA year from now
• 1:15:16
  going to be more prevalent or less prevalent like is, is, is
• 1:15:20
  are bots and and programmatic accounts on social media, are
• 1:15:26
  they going to be more or less prevalent a year from now, two
• 1:15:28
  years from now, it's it's obvious that they're going to be
• 1:15:31
  more prevalent. There's going to be I I believe
• 1:15:33
  that this next, like, epoch of human history is going to be
• 1:15:37
  about determining the difference between what's real and fake.
• 1:15:41
  I mean, it's it's going to get to the point where any
• 1:15:45
  communication that's purely online, you just won't know if
• 1:15:49
  that is a person on the on the other end of it or if it's if
• 1:15:52
  it's a bot. If it's an AGI or something like
• 1:15:55
  that. You just won't know.
• 1:15:56
  The one source of validation that you will always have is if
• 1:15:59
  you've shake, if you've shook that person's hand before, if
• 1:16:02
  you've met in real life, if you sat across the table from them,
• 1:16:05
  if you if you shared a meaningful life experience, you
• 1:16:08
  will know that that person, that account, the other.
• 1:16:11
  And so even if that relationship goes back online, you will have
• 1:16:15
  a verification. The blue check mark is becoming
• 1:16:19
  irrelevant, right? Like that's not a way for people
• 1:16:22
  to necessarily know because that there like there's there's the
• 1:16:26
  Twitter algorithm is now giving blue check marks to accounts
• 1:16:30
  based on a certain amount of blue check mark followers that
• 1:16:32
  you have. So.
• 1:16:32
  So the paywall that Twitter created they're kind of eroding
• 1:16:36
  that that business model where that actually was a smart idea
• 1:16:40
  Elon. I think probably seeing orange
• 1:16:42
  fill app adopted orange fill apps model.
• 1:16:44
  That's the brilliance of when Mateo started this.
• 1:16:47
  Nobody's crazy enough, except for this Italian dude to create
• 1:16:52
  a social network where it starts with a paywall.
• 1:16:55
  Why? Why would you start with a
• 1:16:56
  paywall? The answer Simple, because
• 1:16:58
  Bitcoiners understand value for value.
• 1:17:01
  Bitcoiners don't want their their their data sold.
• 1:17:03
  They don't want to work with a company that that says their
• 1:17:06
  service is free when actually it isn't.
• 1:17:09
  It's it's it's a few bucks a month to be on Orange Pill app.
• 1:17:12
  What that does is ensure that like like Nico said, you don't
• 1:17:15
  get DMS from pretty Asian girls who are asking how your crypto
• 1:17:19
  trading is going like it. I'm sorry it just doesn't
• 1:17:21
  happen. If you if you think those are
• 1:17:23
  real people, then then please like stay on Twitter and enjoy
• 1:17:26
  yourself. Like that's that's great.
• 1:17:28
  But if you want signal, you come over to Orange Pill app and
• 1:17:30
  you'll actually have good conversations online but it'll
• 1:17:34
  always leave you wanting a little bit more and so then you
• 1:17:37
  meet up with people. One of the biggest tools I like
• 1:17:39
  to use Orange Pill app for is now that I'm starting to work in
• 1:17:42
  the Bitcoin industry and going to conferences and things like
• 1:17:44
  that, it really helps you kind of organize before you get to
• 1:17:48
  the conference right. Like you can you can you can do
• 1:17:50
  a group chat with like who's going to Bitcoin Nashville, OK
• 1:17:54
  like I can talk to those people. If you get into town 2 days
• 1:17:57
  early, what are you going to do when the conference hasn't
• 1:17:59
  started? Well, guess what, You can
• 1:18:01
  connect with bitcoiners because you know who's in that area And
• 1:18:04
  so the paywall and the fact that it's a Bitcoin only app does the
• 1:18:09
  filtering for us. Now if if a bad actor ever
• 1:18:11
  enters the app, then obviously we have the ability to to, you
• 1:18:15
  know, kind of take care of that. But the the community is kind of
• 1:18:20
  is is kind of like a closed loop in the sense that people don't
• 1:18:23
  want to enter that because it does not pay to be a spammer in
• 1:18:26
  the app. If somebody paid to enter the
• 1:18:29
  app and then spam even 1 user that one user is going to report
• 1:18:33
  them right away. And so thank you very much.
• 1:18:35
  You just paid to get your account taken taken out because
• 1:18:39
  you're you're a fake user. You're you're you're you're a 0
• 1:18:41
  value adding user. And so still even the fact that
• 1:18:46
  there's a paywall I think can kind of bug people sometimes
• 1:18:48
  because they say Oh well bitcoiners should be about
• 1:18:50
  giving to the community. The best thing we can do is have
• 1:18:53
  a paywall. It's not for us, It's literally
• 1:18:56
  for the user experience. Because if you run the numbers,
• 1:19:00
  we did this. Twitter on average sells 9 to
• 1:19:04
  $12.00 of user data every single month.
• 1:19:07
  If you're on Facebook, it's even worse.
• 1:19:09
  It's something it's like 29 to $32 of user data per month.
• 1:19:14
  So it's like, what's the real cost of those networks?
• 1:19:17
  It's it's much, much more than what you would pay to get on
• 1:19:21
  Orange Pellap. And at least with Orange Pellap,
• 1:19:23
  you're in control because when something's free, you're the
• 1:19:27
  product, but when you pay for something, it's the product.
• 1:19:29
  So we're your product. We you get to use our service as
• 1:19:34
  you want. And if your goal is to meet
• 1:19:36
  other bitcoiners, then that's exactly what you're going to
• 1:19:38
  get. 100% and I I completely agree it's it's a feature, not a
• 1:19:42
  bug. I saw an amazing comment I for
• 1:19:45
  here it is. The Join with Bitcoin feature is
• 1:19:48
  the ultimate spam filter right? So I completely agree with that
• 1:19:52
  100%. Guys, check out the Orange Pill
• 1:19:54
  app. We're officially partnering up
• 1:19:56
  with them again starting on Monday, April 1st.
• 1:19:59
  And we're really excited because the social layer of Bitcoin is
• 1:20:03
  extremely important building a, you know, a not only a a a kind
• 1:20:08
  of Bitcoin circular economy. But we have to understand,
• 1:20:11
  especially after today's episode and the theme, you know, with
• 1:20:14
  the with the numbers and all that stuff, Bitcoiners are going
• 1:20:17
  to be some of the most influential people on the face
• 1:20:21
  of the planet within the decade. And after the next couple of
• 1:20:24
  decades, like, you know, you know how like the Contillion Air
• 1:20:27
  Conference and they all go to, you know the World Economic
• 1:20:30
  Forum and whatever. And those are the world elites.
• 1:20:33
  I hate that fucking word. But all right.
• 1:20:34
  Cursed. OK, yeah.
• 1:20:36
  Those are the, those are the. Elites.
• 1:20:38
  Of today's you know, world and all that stuff.
• 1:20:42
  Yeah. Well I think, and I'm not.
• 1:20:43
  I hate using the world. I hate using the word elite.
• 1:20:46
  I I it's I think it's stupid but I think some of the most
• 1:20:50
  powerful influential people on the face of the planet in the
• 1:20:54
  next 10 to 20 years are going to be bitcoiners.
• 1:20:56
  So build you know stack friends who stack stats like it's as
• 1:20:59
  simple as that, right? It is the Friday show so I know
• 1:21:04
  Opti Opti you got 2 meme reviews this week.
• 1:21:07
  OK so we have the meme reviews still to go and it's going to be
• 1:21:12
  great. But before we get into that,
• 1:21:14
  guys, we have 1700 people watching between YouTube and
• 1:21:19
  Twitter and about 42 of you guys watching us on Rumble.
• 1:21:22
  So if you guys are enjoying the show, make sure to smash the
• 1:21:25
  like button. It tells the algos to push the
• 1:21:28
  show forward. All right ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:21:30
  let's get to the meme review. We got some memes to review.
• 1:21:35
  Opti's Friday Meme Review. No, man, I kind of, I kind of
• 1:21:43
  want Sophie's voice to do that, to be honest.
• 1:21:46
  I I was just about to say my voice is so sultry.
• 1:21:49
  You know I anyways you're the one that said I do it.
• 1:21:53
  But yeah Sophie needs to record some stuff for that but that's a
• 1:21:56
  totally we'll we'll we'll do some we won't do on air business
• 1:22:00
  conversations anymore. All right guys, this is the meme
• 1:22:02
  review Friday Meme review. And you are another deal.
• 1:22:06
  You know, Brian gave us a nod to it.
• 1:22:09
  Tweet to the bullets, memes or the artillery.
• 1:22:11
  You are frontline soldiers in this information war.
• 1:22:14
  Continue to get the calls of action out there.
• 1:22:16
  Continue to ridicule the corporate press and all the
• 1:22:19
  institutions out there that are Fiat minded.
• 1:22:21
  And of course make sure you make some funny so your friends heads
• 1:22:25
  stay in the game. You know ridicule your family
• 1:22:27
  with memes. I I actually one other thing as
• 1:22:30
  Brian was saying, I think Bitcoin memes are going to be
• 1:22:34
  even more important moving into 2024 and 2025 because again we
• 1:22:39
  have the truth on our side and life is memes and memes is life.
• 1:22:42
  So continue to spread the memes continue to plant those seeds of
• 1:22:46
  freedom, freedom, money into the minds of your friends and
• 1:22:49
  family. And of course, you can tag me on
• 1:22:51
  Twitter at Simply Bitcoin TV or drop them in our Telegram group.
• 1:22:55
  But tag me in the Telegram group?
• 1:22:56
  It's getting one. Or my personal one, but.
• 1:22:59
  Don't we? Don't have a group chat on the
• 1:23:03
  Orange Pull app? It's the simply Bitcoin group
• 1:23:06
  chat and you can bother Opti there and.
• 1:23:10
  Yeah, tag me in there. It's easy guys.
• 1:23:13
  There, so go guys. Join the Simply Bitcoin group
• 1:23:16
  chat on the Orange Palap. I'm way more responsive there
• 1:23:20
  than anywhere else if you guys want to reach me directly all.
• 1:23:24
  Right. Well consensus is they need
• 1:23:26
  Sophie to redo the the transition anyways.
• 1:23:31
  Anyways, 1st meme is by the legendary memer himself,
• 1:23:34
  Bitstein. If you don't know Bitstein guys,
• 1:23:37
  he basically created all of the memes with his buddy Piero Shard
• 1:23:40
  who's another legendary memer. But I really like this one.
• 1:23:43
  Here we got Bitstein, he goes, the boomers are coming, the
• 1:23:45
  boomers are coming. And of course we got Paul Revere
• 1:23:47
  running through the the the villages and the cities, telling
• 1:23:52
  people that the British are coming.
• 1:23:54
  But we we mix the meme up. The boomers are coming, the
• 1:23:56
  boomers are here and they seem to love Bitcoin.
• 1:23:58
  So you just love to see it. OK, next one is by my boy Nick
• 1:24:02
  Camp mine, and this one's hilarious.
• 1:24:04
  He goes Bitcoin short sellers versus institutional demand for
• 1:24:08
  Bitcoin. And it's a guy with a shotgun
• 1:24:10
  shooting a tsunami wave. Dude, Nick has the algos, bro.
• 1:24:13
  Dude, Nick's got the algos. Young Nick with the algos.
• 1:24:16
  All right, next one is by the BTC therapist.
• 1:24:19
  Shouts out to the therapist and he goes E all of the above.
• 1:24:22
  And this is man. How am I blinking Jeopardy?
• 1:24:24
  We got Michael Saylor on Jeopardy and he goes, Bitcoin is
• 1:24:27
  a going to 100 KB going to 250K or C going to 500K or D going up
• 1:24:34
  forever? And the therapist goes, it's E
• 1:24:37
  all of the above. It's going up forever, Laura,
• 1:24:40
  this is the way. OK, next one is by by Kingo.
• 1:24:43
  And I really like the topic today 'cause this.
• 1:24:46
  This is a culmination of what we're talking about when we tell
• 1:24:49
  you all that really matters is you stacking Bitcoin.
• 1:24:52
  And we got Bugs Bunny here with, you know, it's Fiat money, his
• 1:24:55
  dollars. And Vikingo just goes hashtag
• 1:24:57
  BTC and it goes, I would like to exchange all this garbage for
• 1:25:01
  some Bitcoin please. Yes, the dollars in your wallet,
• 1:25:05
  if you still have Fiat money, if you're not completely cashless,
• 1:25:07
  and even even then it's even worthless, more garbage.
• 1:25:11
  It's garbage guys. It's, it's paper IOU's, it's
• 1:25:14
  debt, it's melting ice cubes. You want to hold the hardest
• 1:25:17
  money in the world and it's Bitcoin.
• 1:25:18
  OK, This next one is RDBTC and he just goes breaking and I'm
• 1:25:23
  sure you guys all saw the Baltimore bridge collapse and
• 1:25:25
  you know what, I'm not even going to go there.
• 1:25:28
  Anyways, we have the boat collapsing into the bridge and
• 1:25:32
  the boat is Bitcoin and the collapsing bridge is the central
• 1:25:35
  banks. On that note, I really like the
• 1:25:37
  bitcoiners that are that are basically saying like dude, this
• 1:25:40
  is like just Atlas Shrug playing out in real time the
• 1:25:43
  incompetence of the Fiat world. Anyways, a ramp for another day.
• 1:25:48
  Next we got Sovereign Individual AKA at Sovereign Indy 10 and he
• 1:25:52
  goes every single time. And we got the classic picture
• 1:25:55
  of the kid with like the veins protruding and he's in class but
• 1:25:59
  he's got laser eyes and it goes me when she mentions her grocery
• 1:26:03
  rent and energy bills have gone up recently.
• 1:26:06
  Yes, inflation is not going away guys, so you need to stack in
• 1:26:11
  Bitcoin. And this one I just love it
• 1:26:14
  shouts at the NY hotto. This is the go and he goes
• 1:26:17
  crypto versus Bitcoin. And we got man, what was her
• 1:26:19
  name? The FTX girl Caroline something
• 1:26:23
  And that's crypto. And then we got Sydney Sweeney
• 1:26:25
  as Bitcoin Cindy's a a a new icon on the Internet.
• 1:26:31
  This is the way man. Do not buy crypto you stack
• 1:26:35
  sets. Anyways, drop your meme review
• 1:26:38
