Transcript
- 0:18It's. All going to zero against
- 0:20Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
- 0:23You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
- 0:35Yo, Good morning everybody. Welcome to Simply Bitcoin.
- 0:39It's Friday, November 3rd and the year 2023.
- 0:43So you can tell from the title, Crazy, Crazy stuff Happening
- 0:46everywhere today on the Twitter verse.
- 0:48Of course we will be covering Sam Bateman Freed Found Guilty
- 0:53on all 7 counts. And of course, you guys should
- 0:56know if you're if you're. Tuning in every single day to
- 0:58simply Bitcoin. We don't usually talk about alt
- 1:01coiners. Again, it is still at the very
- 1:03beginning of the YouTube show, so we will use the nomenclature
- 1:06alt coiners for the time being because it waters down our
- 1:09message. We don't ever really want to
- 1:11talk about alt coins because we believe it is Bitcoin, not alt
- 1:15coins. There is Bitcoin, and then
- 1:16there's everything else and the point of this show.
- 1:21Is to try to separate Bitcoin from everything else.
- 1:25But for better or worse guys, the average person has had SPF
- 1:30on their radar. I even was telling Ruston
- 1:32yesterday one of my friends. I haven't talked to him in a
- 1:34while. He was asking me what I'm doing
- 1:37lately. I told him simply Bitcoin and
- 1:40his follow up question was. What is your thoughts on this
- 1:44SBF guy? And I'm like Oh my goodness,
- 1:46here we go. My parents have been talking
- 1:48about him. You know all the public media
- 1:51has been talking about him. And finally I guess justice may
- 1:56have caught up with him. Welcome to law SBF.
- 1:58And you know you can't just commit fraud out there in the
- 2:01name of all coins and and doing good by the people.
- 2:04You know it is what it is. There are laws in this country
- 2:08and it seems that SBF. Has been found guilty on all 7
- 2:12counts. We will be talking about that.
- 2:14We got a bunch of clips. We will be kind of trolling it
- 2:16out a little bit as well. Ruston's going to give you guys
- 2:18all of the signal on that one in the new segment and in the
- 2:22numbers we were talking about it yesterday.
- 2:25We are seeing at the current stage of the Bitcoin bull
- 2:29market, maybe the end of the crab market, the very end tail
- 2:32end of a bear market we're going to cover.
- 2:35For you guys, where we are in the cycle and we got a solid
- 2:39clip from Michael Saylor at his MicroStrategy earnings call,
- 2:44basically saying what we've been saying all year long here that
- 2:48people are looking for alternatives.
- 2:49We are seeing public consciousness raise public
- 2:53attention raised in regards to Bitcoin and what that means
- 2:55moving forward. So we'll be talking about that
- 2:58in the numbers. And the culture I mentioned
- 3:00yesterday, I I saw this thread and I really enjoyed it and it
- 3:04was on BlackRock and Bitcoin. So I'm going to cover that.
- 3:07I know we all have the view of F BlackRock.
- 3:10We we don't really like BlackRock obviously for obvious
- 3:13reasons. But I think they may be
- 3:17incentivized to play along with the rules.
- 3:20I'm even going to bring up the white paper and the incentives
- 3:23portion of. The white paper, which maybe
- 3:26Satoshi was right all along and This is why we are doing what
- 3:30we're doing because if BlackRock can take down Bitcoin, then what
- 3:32are we really doing here? And then actually, actually,
- 3:35before I move on, I'm not sure if you guys saw this morning but
- 3:39shouts out to our brothers over at Bitcoin Magazine.
- 3:42Apparently the Federal Reserve is suing them for basically
- 3:47making a parody T-shirt of the Fed Now system.
- 3:51And they're saying that they are infringing on their copyright.
- 3:55Absolutely incredible. We do not want to associate
- 3:58ourselves with Fed now system and the boys over at Bitcoin
- 4:01Magazine I guess are over the target.
- 4:03This is more credence to the idea of then they fight you
- 4:07stage absolutely incredible stuff.
- 4:10We will get into that a little bit at towards the end of the
- 4:13news segment. But welcome to simply Bitcoin.
- 4:16We are your number one source for the peaceful back Bitcoin
- 4:18revolution. We cover breaking news, culture
- 4:20and of course, my medical warfare.
- 4:22We bring on bitcoins from all around the world, from the
- 4:24biggest names to the everyday Bitcoin.
- 4:26We got them all and we will be your guide through the
- 4:28separation of money and state. Of course, I'm not alone.
- 4:33I got my boy Ruston here. And I I already know that we're
- 4:37going to get a little crazy. This is the Friday show.
- 4:40Things should get a little light hearted.
- 4:42I I saw a little bit of what Ruston has in store for you guys
- 4:46and just going to forewarn you we will be giving you the
- 4:49signal. But we are going to troll it out
- 4:51a little bit. I'm going to be honest.
- 4:52Well, we're going to. We're going to Oh yeah, you say
- 4:55not light fun. Today we're.
- 4:57Going to have some fun today. How you doing, bro?
- 4:58Oh, I'm stoked up. I'm so stooped up.
- 5:01Happy to be here. We get a lot of good news,
- 5:03apparently. Maybe the system kind of works,
- 5:05but not really. So we'll dive into that and see
- 5:08what was left out of the trial and the charges.
- 5:11It's very interesting how the media treated this guy leading
- 5:15up to it all, throughout the whole thing.
- 5:17They love this guy. He came out of nowhere.
- 5:19He looked like he lived under an overpass and and then he was
- 5:23there. Darling, I we got a very good
- 5:26clip of what's what's his name O'Leary What?
- 5:29Stop listening to these people. They are absolute morons.
- 5:33And I I think we're coming to a conclusion.
- 5:35Maybe the CDC will pick this up but maybe there may be a
- 5:40connection between degenerative mental illness and prolonged use
- 5:46of shit coins. So we're going to dive into that
- 5:48and see if we can get to at the bottom of it.
- 5:52And also we are way over the target Bitcoin news in the Fed
- 5:56now. We got some good Nuggets for
- 5:58that too. Love to see it guys.
- 6:01As we always say, you know, Bitcoin is a peaceful revolution
- 6:04and memes are artillery. Ridicule is a powerful tool in
- 6:09our toolbox. And hey guys, it is working.
- 6:13And actually before we go in there, it just it's absolutely
- 6:16incredible that people at the Federal Reserve.
- 6:19Our, our digesting Bitcoin content.
- 6:21It's like we're winning. Absolutely winning so hard.
- 6:25It's incredible. I want to know how many of them
- 6:28have. One of those shirts, you know,
- 6:29we got to get to the. Bottom Not many.
- 6:31I actually talked with my boy Joe that not many have those
- 6:34shirts at all. So Streisand Effect in real
- 6:37time. We'll see.
- 6:38We'll see. Anyways, guys, we got a lot to
- 6:39talk about. Let's get into this the Bitcoin
- 6:46numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
- 6:49really secure? Is your seed phrase really
- 6:52secure? Stamp seeds?
- 6:53Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
- 6:56hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
- 7:00instead of just writing them on paper.
- 7:03Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
- 7:06Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
- 7:09You want to put your generational wealth on one of
- 7:11the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
- 7:14Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
- 7:18hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
- 7:21aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
- 7:24apart and pieces falling everywhere.
- 7:26Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
- 7:30produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
- 7:32waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
- 7:35All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
- 7:38Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
- 7:41Stamp your seed on stamp seed. All right guys, scan the QR
- 7:45code. Make sure your seed phrase is
- 7:48backed up. It's not on a piece of paper in
- 7:49your sock drawer. Get yourself a stamp seed kit.
- 7:52And also actually actually, before I forget guys, we are so
- 7:56close to hitting our 21K subscriber a threshold on
- 8:01YouTube, we will be doing a giveaway.
- 8:04I'm guessing probably live on Monday.
- 8:06And the mega prize is a stamp seed full kit.
- 8:12We might even throw in a shirt or a hoodie in there.
- 8:15I don't know where where we'll talk about it over the weekend,
- 8:17but one of you guys in the chat that's been hanging out with us
- 8:19all year, I wrote my list down. You will be getting a stamp seed
- 8:24kit. But for everyone else, make sure
- 8:26you scan the QR code and you secure your seed phrase in
- 8:30something that will last the test of time.
- 8:34Anyways, let's get into the numbers guys because got a lot
- 8:39of talk about. Anyways, my favorite number the
- 8:41block height TikTok next block. The only date that matters is
- 8:44the block height and we are currently at 815,138.
- 8:49The current Bitcoin price is 34,730 and actually a little
- 8:53side tangent. Ruston we got Rudd pulled
- 8:56yesterday with our clickbait title.
- 8:58Apparently the Bitcoin price dumped on us when we were like,
- 9:00why did the price go up? Yeah, Bitcoin totally trolled us
- 9:03yesterday. That is 100.
- 9:05Percent Max Payne Max Payne in regard to the price.
- 9:07Anyways, the current Moscow time, AKA what your Fiat dollar
- 9:10is worth, AKA how much Bitcoin you can buy for a single dollar
- 9:13is currently at 2879 cents per dollar.
- 9:17Or for you bit Maxis out there, 287 bits.
- 9:20The total percentage of Bitcoin that will ever be issued, I
- 9:23repeat ever be issued until the end of time is currently at
- 9:2793.01%. The market cap of Bitcoin in
- 9:31Fiat terms is at 678.4 billion. The realized monetary inflation
- 9:37taking Fiat currencies to school is at 1.74% and that will get
- 9:42cut in half. It'll go down.
- 9:44It's going to go down in April, roughly April.
- 9:47The Bitcoin verse gold market cap.
- 9:50Is at 5.11%, barely at 5% of the gold market cap and that is $10
- 9:55trillion guys. And you guys are you guys are
- 9:57bearish out there. Couldn't be me.
- 9:59Can't relate. Anyways the total public
- 10:00lightning capacity is at 5306.99 BTC.
- 10:04The hash rate the last 90 days is at 415.4 extra hashes the
- 10:08pending fees. Wow.
- 10:09OK yesterday was at 1.9, today's at 3.904 Bitcoin currently
- 10:15sitting in the men pool that Clark Moody's dashboard is
- 10:18reading. And then of course.
- 10:20Box to having. We're at 24,862, and as of
- 10:25today, the HAVING estimate is the meme number April 20th,
- 10:292024. Let's let's hope we meme that
- 10:31into reality. Anyways, guys, as we were
- 10:34telling you yesterday, we've been covering it constantly on
- 10:38the show. The theme.
- 10:40Of, you know, yesterday we talked about the flight to
- 10:42quality, we talked about the bond market, we talked about
- 10:46inflation numbers, We've talked about corporate press covering
- 10:50Bitcoin in favorable light or rather even in unfavorable
- 10:54light. But it does seem like we are
- 10:57crossing the Rubicon into mainstream consciousness and
- 11:01moving forward. If you are in financial markets,
- 11:05financial media, you will have to talk about Bitcoin.
- 11:09And I say it all the time. You know, look, we're just
- 11:11Youtubers. We're just Bitcoiners.
- 11:13We're just everyday Bitcoiners that happen to make a show.
- 11:16We just cover what's going on in the world, so.
- 11:19We realize that maybe what we say about Bitcoin doesn't hit as
- 11:23hard as when a billionaire rocket scientist talks about the
- 11:26same things we're talking about. Or rather, maybe we need to wear
- 11:28suits so we seem like we're more authority figures.
- 11:32Or. Or maybe one day we'll be on the
- 11:33television. And then now that will give us
- 11:35some sense of legitimacy. But anyways, this is another
- 11:38simply Bitcoin. I told you so.
- 11:40Moment. And Saylor is just saying
- 11:42everything we've been saying forever on the show.
- 11:46Anyways, you can see this tweet by a swan.
- 11:48It goes, Michael Saylor is bullish.
- 11:49Mainstream awareness seems to be reaching new heights of Bitcoin.
- 11:53And this is from today's micro strategy earnings call.
- 11:56So we got a short clip, we'll talk about it and then we will
- 11:59move on into the news. But check this out.
- 12:02He's saying what we say all the time.
- 12:03Guys love to see it. We're winning, constantly
- 12:05winning so. TuneIn, strap up.
- 12:08It's going to be a great bull run.
- 12:09Mainstream awareness seems to be reaching new heights.
- 12:13For Bitcoin we have we have the likes of Larry Fink referring to
- 12:20it as a flight to quality. We have Druckenmiller noting
- 12:28that it's a legitimate asset embraced by an entire
- 12:31generation. And lamenting that he doesn't
- 12:34own more of it or own it, we have Mohamed El Erian on
- 12:38television, noting that Bitcoin is being viewed now as a safe
- 12:43haven asset. We have a lot of coverage of
- 12:47Bitcoin in television, on television networks, news
- 12:52networks, and also through mainstream media.
- 12:54That should continue to grow. As that coverage increases, that
- 13:00combined with increasing availability of Wall Street,
- 13:03analyst coverage and new voices emerging in the community like
- 13:09like Fidelity with their analysis of Bitcoin, all of
- 13:16those new voices and new interest is driving education of
- 13:23a new generation of investors. I think we can expect more of
- 13:27that during the coming 12 months.
- 13:29And all of these things together just create a virtual cycle.
- 13:33And as they drive Bitcoin awareness, they should drive
- 13:36Bitcoin investment and that should drive more news and that
- 13:39should drive more awareness and that should catalyze more and
- 13:43more firms to take an interest in supporting Bitcoin or
- 13:47investing in Bitcoin. Absolutely love to hear it and
- 13:52and remember guys, I I'm. I just thought of this as we
- 13:56were live because I I've been using this chart a lot.
- 13:58Again, I'm over here at nakamotoinstitute.org chats at
- 14:01the Pierre Rashard. He wrote this ten years ago.
- 14:03It is titled and the Fed hoard bitcoins and it's a very simple
- 14:06chart guys. It's a very simple flow chart.
- 14:09This is Bitcoin adoption in a nutshell, as more hoarders.
- 14:13Hoddle Bitcoin or more Hodler's whole word Bitcoin, whatever you
- 14:16want to say, the Bitcoin price goes up as the Bitcoin price
- 14:19goes up, mining profitability goes up, hash power goes up, the
- 14:22security of the network increases.
- 14:24As the price continues to go up, more media attention goes, more
- 14:28perceived legitimacy happens, and then more users start to
- 14:31adopt Bitcoin and more merchants start to adopt Bitcoin.
- 14:34And this is a virtuous feedback loop and sailor saying the same
- 14:38thing. It's almost like bitcoiners have
- 14:40been on the signal for a long, long time.
- 14:44Pierre Rochard this ten years ago.
- 14:46We talk about this constantly on the show, and it's becoming very
- 14:49obvious to anyone paying attention closely that the
- 14:54Bitcoin signal is spreading, whether it's corporate press,
- 14:56whether it's the corporate television shows, whether it's
- 15:00institutional adoption. Everyone wants your Bitcoin, so
- 15:04I hope you are continuing to stack Bitcoin.
- 15:06I hope you're taking Bitcoin into self custody.
- 15:09I hope you have steeled your mind so that you do make it
- 15:12through the huddle buyout zone because it is going to get crazy
- 15:17and the price is just starting to get frothy and that craze is
- 15:21going to magnify. It's going to get exponential if
- 15:25this is your first cycle. If you've only been born in the
- 15:29bear market, like Bane from Batman, then you do not know how
- 15:33crazy the bull market gets. Everyone comes out of the
- 15:36woodworks. There's new scammers.
- 15:38There's new shit coiners, there's new shit coin projects.
- 15:41Everyone's correct. You're all geniuses.
- 15:43You think you're a genius? And you might make some stupid
- 15:47decisions, hence why we constantly tell you to stack,
- 15:51SAT, stay humble, stay solvent, make sure your bitcoins into
- 15:54self custody. Because we know one thing's for
- 15:56sure, as the price starts moving up, Coinbase is going to go
- 15:59down. You do not want to leave your
- 16:01Bitcoin on those exchanges for longer than when you buy it, but
- 16:07it just goes to show that the next year and actually, you
- 16:10know, just going back looking in hindsight this last year.
- 16:14The conversation around Bitcoin has evolved.
- 16:17You know, it's a testament to all the Bitcoin only content
- 16:19creators out there. It's a testament to the
- 16:22attention that Bitcoin is getting.
- 16:24It's a it's a testament to every single one of you guys stacking
- 16:27that we have literal billionaires memeing with us,
- 16:31taking up all the coins. It just goes to show guys we we
- 16:34are winning so hard and and kind of reeling in the Streisand
- 16:40effect of what we're seeing from the Federal Reserve in Bitcoin
- 16:42Magazine today. This is what winning looks like.
- 16:46This is they fudge you, They fudge you, you know, classic
- 16:51billionaire or institutional adopter playbook FUD Bitcoin.
- 16:56Make sure the price dumps stack your bitcoins, embrace Bitcoin.
- 17:00Well, now we're going into that next part of the cycle where it
- 17:04seems like the regulatory floodgates are going to open up
- 17:08and Bitcoin is going to go nuclear anyways.
- 17:11I'm going to cut this one short because I know we have a lot of
- 17:13talk about in the news. So Rustin, what's your thoughts
- 17:16on this? You know, I when you showed that
- 17:18diagram immediately like if you reverse engineer that like you
- 17:22go backwards that's the deterioration of the Fiat system
- 17:26as the Bitcoin hoarding is playing out because the the
- 17:29monetary supply has to. Increase.
- 17:31Let me pull that up so we can visualize this.
- 17:35Yeah. So if we go back like down
- 17:36there, it was like businesses, you know, the reputation
- 17:40increases well, institutional reputations are diminishing.
- 17:43Banks, well, didn't they have like a blackout this morning
- 17:46come across? Yeah, we're, we're checking that
- 17:48out. So.
- 17:50Bitcoin never goes down. Yep, Bitcoin up what, 99.999999
- 17:57over over the 14 year span. So we're, I mean, we're looking
- 18:00good out here. Man, it feels so good.
- 18:04Winning, Actually, I think I'm gonna take it back.
- 18:07This little sober Bitcoin here. This is the moment in the Big
- 18:10Short where it's like, just don't dance.
- 18:13I'm trying not to dance. I've been telling you guys for a
- 18:15while, I'm going to be absolutely bull tarted AF.
- 18:19And just remind me. Remind me in the chat, guys.
- 18:22Opti, stop dancing. Don't.
- 18:23And that mails it. It's not hoarding, it's saving.
- 18:26It's what has been stolen from you for well, if you really go
- 18:30back to 19141913, the creation of the Fed when they went off
- 18:33the gold standard to support World War One, it's kind of
- 18:37interesting. They're just a few years apart.
- 18:39When they come to be then there is no, I mean there's a definite
- 18:44correlation causation with the default in the 30s then going
- 18:47off again in the in for World War Two, 70s default, Vietnam,
- 18:52Iraq. Now all of this calamity I mean
- 18:56Riyad is the money that spreads death and destruction around the
- 19:00world. So as that diminishes something
- 19:03else takes its place and it's completely counter to all of
- 19:06that. It's the sound money future.
- 19:08It's Bitcoin and I I just love seeing that yesterday we we've
- 19:12gone into Larry think in depth we've kind of gone here and the
- 19:15pros, the cons and the other sides we we've gone into the the
- 19:19ideas of forks and these things which we've already defeated
- 19:22those things. No one can stop Bitcoin, all
- 19:25right. We've had the block size warrant
- 19:27that that precedent is done. So all you're doing in fighting
- 19:31Bitcoin is ruining your own self preservation and your
- 19:34opportunity to save for your own future.
- 19:36You're cutting into your own futures pockets, so do so at
- 19:40your own expense. Yeah, and and furthermore, I I
- 19:45think kind of you you touched on or as Nico he says, you buried
- 19:48the lead there. As we get more public
- 19:55consciousness conversation going, people are going to ruin
- 20:01their reputations by being anti Bitcoin and that will just
- 20:05further accelerate the demise of the Fiat traditional world
- 20:11because. If they're not saying favorable
- 20:13things about Bitcoin, then that just leads into questioning
- 20:17their integrity in the 1st place.
- 20:19And if this sudden change of balance and attention happens
- 20:25like quickly, overnight, man, it could.
- 20:28It could get absolutely crazy. That get in that gets into and
- 20:32we've had him on a lot kind of into the Dunworth Peter Dunworth
- 20:37theory of like the really. Like gradual then suddenly means
- 20:41real suddenly. That's kind of his take on it.
- 20:43So I mean there's so many ways it can play out.
- 20:46There is no predictive method. You just know that there
- 20:49currently is the slow, gradual climb.
- 20:51Demand is going to continue to increase because Fiat will
- 20:55continue to to diminish as its reputation, its stature, it's it
- 21:00serves no purpose as money other than a method of exchange in a
- 21:04very. Shitty one at that.
- 21:05Because you're censored and monitored with all your
- 21:08exchanges. Unless you're using cash, of
- 21:10course. But yeah, gradually.
- 21:12Then suddenly we are still in the gradually part.
- 21:15But hey, buckle up, make sure your sats are in cold storage.
- 21:18Anyways, before we get into covering today's news topic,
- 21:21shouts out to the boys over at Bitcoin Magazine, AKA the
- 21:24Bitcoin Conference, Bitcoin 2024.
- 21:26We are taking over Nashville July 25th, 27th, 2024.
- 21:31Get your tickets today. I I I say this all the time and
- 21:34and I say it kind of jokingly and trolling.
- 21:37Get your tickets today because I know you're going to FOMO into
- 21:40the conference. Or rather you're going to have
- 21:42FOMO when the conference is happening.
- 21:43Like you know you're too cool to buy the ticket, you like
- 21:46trolling the conference, but when it happens, everyone likes
- 21:48to have fun. Party with your favorite

- 23:42Anyways, Reston let me know what I gotta.
- 23:45Do let's go ahead and get it started, 'cause I think it's a
- 23:48good lead in let's start with Elon Musk and Joe Rogan.
- 23:53And this was just the other day before the the the finish of the
- 23:57trial talking about how the media portrayed this guy.
- 24:00So let's let's start with that who SBFSAPR team is, but they
- 24:08they're doing an incredible job. For real?
- 24:12Well, I mean, I mean the dude, but tons of people often stole
- 24:16their money and yet he he's getting basically, you know,
- 24:20back rubbed from the press. Well, don't.
- 24:23You think that's because of the amount of money that he donated?
- 24:25Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the deal is.
- 24:27It might have something to do with that.
- 24:29I'm not that cynical. I and I luck out.
- 24:32People think people are influenced by money.
- 24:35Well, I don't know what he's doing, but something's going on.
- 24:38The number of articles that I've seen where it's like, you know,
- 24:41where it's basically, you know, a misunderstood philanthropist.
- 24:48It's ridiculous. Wow.
- 24:52Hit the nail on the head. All right Ruston, do I bring
- 24:56your screen in or my screen? All right.
- 24:57So that was interesting. When you played, I did not see
- 25:01the clip or any of that. So kind of cool.
- 25:04But hopefully you guys got that and got the signal and saw what
- 25:06was going on there. Yeah, let's go into this news.
- 25:09So opti's going to drag that over for us.
- 25:13We got my, my, my screen or your screen.
- 25:16My screen, and then we'll roll the clips as we go.
- 25:21So we're showing Slack here. Oh, let me see here.
- 25:28Whoa, whoa, whoa. See, my thing is lagging super
- 25:32hard right now. Let's You seem to be coming in
- 25:35for me, bro. OK, good.
- 25:37All right, so there we go. Up D let's bring it in so we
- 25:41know how they treated him. They know he was their darling.
- 25:44They said he was like, this famous traitor.
- 25:47He was this crypto marvel. No one heard of the guy.
- 25:50And then the Miami Heat made a stadium after him and all this
- 25:53bullshit he was like. You know, at least Steve Jobs
- 25:56did some work. At least he built something and
- 25:59made something. I don't know what this guy did.
- 26:01I don't know how he graduated college at whatever MIT.
- 26:04You got to be shitting me if you saw any of this trial, All
- 26:07right. But anyway, guys, you know, we
- 26:10got Osama. We got what?
- 26:12What? We got a Saddam.
- 26:15And it looks like we also got SPF.
- 26:18Let's roll it. OK.
- 26:20OK, I got you right here. Wow, Russ.
- 26:23OK, OK. Ladies and gentlemen, we got
- 26:27them. The cryptocurrency industry
- 26:30might be new. The players like Sam Bankman
- 26:33Freed, might be new, but this kind of fraud, this kind of
- 26:37corruption, is as old as time. And we have no patience for it,
- 26:43sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, all right,
- 26:55now let's get to the news. News.
- 26:58Opti, we got a good article from Zero Heads for you guys taken
- 27:02down. Let's see.
- 27:05Can you guys see? The article?
- 27:06Yeah, it's looking a little blurry for me.
- 27:08Let me see if I bring it in again.
- 27:09Let me zoom them, zoom it in. Looking good, Opti.
- 27:16A little better, but just keep going, keep going.
- 27:18OK, so here we go. Final faces.
- 27:21Over 100 years in prison, but again, we won't know until March
- 27:2528th. But 15 days of testimony?
- 27:27An hour and a half? Oh, wait. 4 1/2 hours of
- 27:30deliberation. Not long.
- 27:32So they were kind of like in and out.
- 27:33We get it. Guilty on all 7 counts related
- 27:36to fraud and money laundering. Something is missing there
- 27:38though. I I'm kind of upset about that.
- 27:41He's scheduled to be sentenced March 28th for possibly more
- 27:44than 100 years in prison. Of course he's going to appeal,
- 27:48but this is interesting because SBF is one of the most
- 27:50responsible for Biden and the Democrats.
- 27:54He's their number 2 donor behind.
- 27:56George Soros, that's kind of cool.
- 27:58Not really. Even though you're one of the
- 28:00biggest donors, I assume he does not know who you are.
- 28:03This was them talking about SBF, knowing Biden, et cetera, then
- 28:10at the end. So you've never met with him,
- 28:11even though you're one of the people who is amongst the one
- 28:14most responsible for him being in office, he said.
- 28:16Yep. So I don't know if you know the
- 28:18history of either of those two people, but I don't think I
- 28:21would trust SBF or Biden's words as far as I could throw either
- 28:24of them. And despite his vegan diet, it's
- 28:26not doing very good for his weight.
- 28:28I don't think I could throw that guy very far.
- 28:31Yes, get gonna have the appeal, including seven counts.
- 28:34Wire fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, and yeah, bad,
- 28:40bad news, ladies and gentlemen. So what was it all about?
- 28:44They were trying to figure out did SBF.
- 28:47Orchestrate the the grand, the grand scheme.
- 28:50According to US Attorney Nicholas Ruse, the answer lies
- 28:54in a pyramid of deceit, with 10 billion in customer funds
- 28:56vanishing into a black hole of personal indulgences and opaque
- 29:00financial maneuvers. The defendant schemed and lied
- 29:03to get money, which he spent, Ruse told the court, dismantling
- 29:06the image of an earnest entrepreneur caught in a
- 29:09misstep. Yeah, don't, don't fall for that
- 29:12BS. But again, what was missing?
- 29:16Is very interesting because, well, SBF did not face campaign
- 29:21finance charges when the whole thing was a racket used to do
- 29:28just that. So it's very interesting on what
- 29:30they choose to identify and not, but also.
- 29:33Elon talked about the media, who controls the media.
- 29:36About 70 to 80% are funded by the pharmaceutical companies and
- 29:40and things of that nature. They are not here looking out
- 29:43for your best interest. They are not here to inform you,
- 29:46to educate you that does not serve them, OK.
- 29:49So it's great to see that. We'll see what happens in March,
- 29:53but it looks like justice is being served.
- 29:56And just a friendly reminder out there to all of you, Larry
- 30:00David. Is the effing goat OK, so say
- 30:03what you want about Larry David. He did the world a service that
- 30:07day. All right, moving on.
- 30:09Here is where it's going to get interesting.
- 30:12OK, there is seems to be a connection.
- 30:15Now this is from a year ago, so we know where things were at
- 30:18that point. Not looking good.
- 30:20This is because it was at let me see, Pacific Bitcoin was about
- 30:24when when it all came unravelled.
- 30:26So this is just a couple months after all that, and he's just
- 30:29like hell. Guys seemed all right.
- 30:31Why not? Like he, like Kevin O'Leary is?
- 30:36I don't know if this is the equivalent of the late 30s, when
- 30:40people were schmoozing with Hitler at like, the UN or
- 30:44something, but I don't know. It's eerily familiar.
- 30:47Maybe I already lost my argument because I mentioned Hitler, but
- 30:50hey, he's bald. There could be something going
- 30:53on. There is shit Corning, a
- 30:55degenerative disease. Let's find out and see what
- 30:59Kevin O'Leary shows us. I.
- 31:02Watched Shark Tank. One of the things you've said
- 31:05repeatedly on Shark Tank is that you are happy and you prefer to
- 31:09back entrepreneurs that have failed before because they've
- 31:11got more experience that failed before.
- 31:13If SPF knocked on your door again and said, look, I failed
- 31:17in my last venture, I have a new crypto venture.
- 31:21I need money. Would you back him?
- 31:26That's a great question no one's asked me yet.
- 31:29I think we can all admit you can love him or hate him given
- 31:32what's happened, but he was one of the most brilliant traders in
- 31:37the crypto universe. He also built one of the most
- 31:40robust platforms. We used FTX actively.
- 31:43It was a very robust platform that allowed us to get
- 31:46information on a compliant basis.
- 31:48So I really like what he built. Would you back him?
- 31:56The answer would be. Yes.
- 32:02All right. So if after watching that you
- 32:04felt like Squidward when he takes his brain out and then he
- 32:06erases all the lines and puts it back in, you're you're you're on
- 32:11the good side of the bell curve here.
- 32:12Now guys, we're getting into some other side here.
- 32:15We understand SPF and and all that and the the people
- 32:18scamming. That get all this recognition
- 32:21and looked at as experts maybe they should be looking in
- 32:23different directions like you know like right here in the Fed
- 32:26Now what's wrong with that? Now I have a challenge for you
- 32:29guys out there all you in the comments I had this idea and
- 32:33it's a great meme. So it's Jerome Powell.
- 32:36He's sitting at the table, he's got a coloring book and he's
- 32:38trying to make his new Fed Now logo.
- 32:40And then he's rage quitting because people are stop, stop
- 32:44making fun of my CBDC guys, I worked months on this.
- 32:48Stop making fun of it. OK, but what he's really doing
- 32:52and Opti Hannah did this. Let's see if it pulls up.
- 32:55There's something called the Streisand effect.
- 32:58OK, I would like to get this up here so you don't just have to
- 33:01take my word for it, But let's see, guys.
- 33:04The Streisand effect is when you try to pull it up.
- 33:08Yeah, see if you can grab that Opti.
- 33:10My thing is continue, continue. Yeah.
- 33:13OK. Streisand Effect is when you try
- 33:15to censor something and you have complete blowback because that
- 33:19inadvertently you're advertising for the thing.
- 33:22So people are going to see the Fed is upset about this.
- 33:25Well, why is the Fed upset about this then people who well, my
- 33:30magazine or why do they hate Bitcoin?
- 33:32Well, you know, Bitcoin is the complete opposite is it is the
- 33:36antithesis. To the military industrial
- 33:39complex, the Cantalon effect, all of these things.
- 33:42So if you guys check in on there, the Streisand effect, the
- 33:45unintended consequences of attempts to hide, remove or
- 33:48censor information where the effort instead backfires and
- 33:52creates more awareness. All of this with SPF and that
- 33:56and it even create an opportunity.
- 33:58Opti was talking about this with my dad like he he constantly was
- 34:01getting crypto Bitcoin mixed up. And then yesterday I saw him and
- 34:05I was like. Joe, they got that SPF guy
- 34:08guilty and and I was like, yeah, yeah, so and he said the crypto
- 34:14scheme guy. And I was like right crypto, not
- 34:17Bitcoin. And he was like, yeah, and I was
- 34:19like, OK, we're getting there. We're getting there.
- 34:21We're planting those seeds. But we need to continue because
- 34:24this will not be the first, it is not going to be the last,
- 34:28the. Status are going to be status.
- 34:31Central planners are going to be central planners.
- 34:33Financial terrorists are going to be financial terrorists, and
- 34:36they're going to try to embezzle.
- 34:37They're going to try to create paper Bitcoin and they're going
- 34:40to do all these things. But Bitcoin always exposes the
- 34:43frauds. It always does.
- 34:45Whether it be Elizabeth Warren, Oregon, Kevin O'Leary, OK,
- 34:49Bitcoin is doing it all the time.
- 34:51And we want to drive this point home.
- 34:53You need to make sure that you're taking self custody of
- 34:55your Bitcoin. If you're not, it's not your
- 34:58Bitcoin. Now there are some positive
- 34:59effects in certain ways that Opti will cover with with the
- 35:04the ETF and some different things there.
- 35:06But if you're a real Bitcoin, you want self custody, not Larry
- 35:09Fink holding your Bitcoin. That may benefit some people
- 35:12that that need that type of thing, but Coinbase?
- 35:16Binance. All of these things with the big
- 35:19dogs getting in, they would probably love to shake these
- 35:22guys out and stack some corn. So we also know the SEC
- 35:28allegations and the lawsuits on the horizon with Binance and
- 35:32these people. So make sure using trusted
- 35:34Bitcoin only services do not mess with any altcoin.
- 35:40Crypto Casino. We know where that leads.
- 35:42It is a recipe for disaster, and we've been telling you this for
- 35:46a long time. So we're going to play this old
- 35:47clip on an episode where we talked about Gary Gensler
- 35:51saying, hey, Bitcoin, if it's not Bitcoin, it's an
- 35:54unregistered security and it's probably going to 0.
- 35:57So great one here. Jack Baller sends the signal
- 36:00shout outs to producer John. This is a straight heater in the
- 36:07equities market and So what Brian Armstrong somehow did to
- 36:09his own fault and that's why I'm calling him out, is he tried to
- 36:13replicate the equities market. He found his business advantage.
- 36:15As I'm a first mover, I was here first.
- 36:17I have the most licenses and sure Jack, you can sell Bitcoin,
- 36:20but I sell Al Gran coin and pink coin and left sock coin and BBQ
- 36:23chicken coin. And so you can never compete
- 36:25with me because I've built this regulatory Moat and this first
- 36:27mover advantage and what he's done is he's built a proxy long
- 36:30positions on altcoins which make no sense, right?
- 36:33And he's replicated the equities market.
- 36:36So, Binance. Incredible.
- 36:40You're you're muted Reston for some reason.
- 36:42Yeah. And then there's that montage of
- 36:44all of the times we we were going through some.
- 36:46I guess I can keep going. I can keep playing.
- 36:48It oh, do it after do it. There's some signal there dot US
- 36:53has no Bitcoin. As soon as it's deposited to
- 36:56binance dot US, it's sent to Binance International.
- 36:59Where it's completely out of the hands of US regulators.
- 37:02It's very interesting that Binance knew exactly which
- 37:05strings the pool in the FTX collapse.
- 37:07It's almost like they have intimate knowledge of the
- 37:09workings the company because they're probably doing it
- 37:12themselves. So funds, not SAFU.
- 37:14Coinbase. That seems to be a potential
- 37:16target, especially since CEO Brian Armstrong was one of the
- 37:19first to report on the staking crackdown.
- 37:22All centralized protocols will be labeled on registered
- 37:25securities. So I'm not saying like CC as an
- 37:28agenda is bad or whatever. I'm just saying like there's
- 37:31obviously periods where the the proof of reserve wallets have
- 37:34changed. They've switched them up.
- 37:35They've they've commangled corporate funds and recovery
- 37:39funds and customer funds and admitted to it.
- 37:42And I raised that up and people were like FUD, FUD, FUD, FUD,
- 37:45FUD, and I'm like guys like buy Bitcoin.
- 37:48Earn Bitcoin, Mine Bitcoin. Take that Bitcoin into self
- 37:51custody and forget about it. As a bitcoiner.
- 37:53You will be watching from the sidelines with your popcorn
- 37:57saying I can get cheaper Bitcoin now because this.
- 38:01Is a disaster that they caused. Crypto giant Binance moved 400
- 38:06million from US partner to firm Managed.
- 38:09How long does this go? Himself.
- 38:11That sounds a lot like the insider movements from FTX to
- 38:14Alameda. On one occasion, Binance only
- 38:16had 100 million in stored collateral to support 1.7
- 38:21billion in Binance Peg USDC. We're financially OK People can
- 38:28draw. Withdraw 100.
- 38:29Looking real good out there. All right.
- 38:32Wow. I I think the point was made.
- 38:34Oh, man. Incredible.
- 38:36Incredible job. Bitcoin only guys.
- 38:40Oh my God. All right, all right, well,
- 38:42Ruston, is there more? Or is this the point where I
- 38:45started ranting a little bit? So things things are getting
- 38:50pretty interesting out there. The feds fighting us it.
- 38:53It's a futile effort. I guess we we should applaud
- 38:57their, I don't know, valiance or whatever, but hey, good things
- 39:02are happening. Bitcoin is set to destroy the
- 39:06financial tyrants and free society.
- 39:09But yeah, Opti, what are your thoughts?
- 39:11A lot of news today. Yeah.
- 39:13All right. Well, you know, my cynical take
- 39:16at first is obviously we shall see what actually happened with
- 39:23SPF moving forward. I know there's some kind of
- 39:27delay between this guilty conviction and his sentencing.
- 39:32So I, you know, I, I don't like to wish a cage or or state
- 39:40violence on anyone. But I also believe in being a
- 39:43good person. And you know, we believe that
- 39:47this is a symptom of shit coinery.
- 39:51Some people might angle this as SPF just doing, you know, good
- 39:55old fashioned fraud and trying to get away with it.
- 39:59There is seemingly some collusion in regards to the
- 40:04powers that be and the media. And wow, this whole thing has
- 40:09been happening. Us bit corners have been ringing
- 40:11the alarm on this since probably the very beginning and we get
- 40:16called Toxic and and we get rolled into shit corners making
- 40:20us all look bad. You know, FTX blew up.
- 40:23They had. What was it like?
- 40:27I forget what the numbers was, but something ridiculous of of
- 40:31no paper, no actual Bitcoin on their exchange, A stupid amount
- 40:35of paper Bitcoin over there, and it literally adding that with
- 40:40the the China ban on mining, it neutered the last bull market
- 40:44again. We all get made look bad because
- 40:47the shit coin is out there. But you know, looking at the
- 40:50bright side shouts out to FTX for giving us cheap Sats for so
- 40:53long. I know it was a pretty brutal
- 40:55bear market. It it was pretty tough,
- 40:57especially if you're on the Bitcoin standard.
- 41:00It was a it was a long drawn out bear market.
- 41:03But I think. Hey, that's a good comment from
- 41:07Torah Pottle. Meme it into reality.
- 41:10Prisoner. Prisoner swap, release Ross and
- 41:13lock up SPF. Let's do it.
- 41:14Start the petition today. That'd be that'd be that'd be
- 41:18crazy. But yeah, I mean, look again, I
- 41:21hate to sound like a state is here, but like there's laws in
- 41:24America. This is why we think moving
- 41:28forward, especially considering what the SEC is angling in
- 41:31regards to shit coin, you can't be jumping into shit coins
- 41:34anymore because they are all unregistered securities.
- 41:37There's Bitcoin and there's shit Coin.
- 41:39And so you know, FTX came on the scene strong.
- 41:43They had arenas with their names on it.
- 41:45SPF was out there as what was his his meme?
- 41:49Altruistic. Effective altruism.
- 41:54Yeah, Effective altruism obviously not effective, nor was
- 41:57it altruistic. It's just a good virtue
- 42:00signaling meme and we have to deal with the calamity of all
- 42:04this stuff. Every conversation that I've had
- 42:07recently, whether it's my parents, whether it's friends
- 42:10that are, you know, just vaguely aware of Bitcoin and shit coins
- 42:15in the crypto industry have all asked me the same thing.
- 42:18What's up with this SPF guy? And you know, it's like this
- 42:22guy's a fraud. He's been known to be a fraud
- 42:24since the very beginning. Most every bitcoiner that I know
- 42:28has been calling it out since the very beginning and then it
- 42:31turns out that they literally had no Bitcoin on their
- 42:34platform. So hopefully this saga can
- 42:37finally come to rest, because I've been saying all year
- 42:39they're going to use this low hanging fruit example for as
- 42:42long as it has weight, and even when he goes to jail they will
- 42:46still use this example. So I don't think we are out of
- 42:50the woods yet in regards to the SPF saga.
- 42:53Maybe this is going to be like a Mount Gox saga thing, you know,
- 42:56where like, it's always going to be that umbrella looming above
- 43:00us, that storm that's like, oh whoa, what about another FTX?
- 43:04And This is why we need to regulate Bitcoin and shit coin.
- 43:07And it just goes to show just how early we really are in the
- 43:12Bitcoin space. And we've been covering it a
- 43:14long time. You know, say what you want
- 43:16about the powers that be the ABC man out there, but I do believe
- 43:22that there may again, I hate to be labeled as a status.
- 43:27I can already hear you guys calling me a status, but having
- 43:30some what's the meme regulatory guidelines here and just showing
- 43:34that Bitcoin is something? Update He violated people's
- 43:38natural law, right? Wasn't that their property that
- 43:41he stole? That's what I'm.
- 43:43Saying allocated like like. These are very basic, basic
- 43:47tenants. Yeah, very basic.
- 43:48He literally stole from you guys and you guys are still still
- 43:53bigging him up. Kevin O'Leary out here, you know
- 43:56someone's, I think it was XX. He's like like Kevin O'Leary is
- 43:59the host of Shark Tank. His literal job is to look into
- 44:02people's backgrounds and he still is endorsing SPF.
- 44:07Like the the amount of clown world stuff that has gone on
- 44:12around SPF is absolutely incredible.
- 44:14It's it's it's damn near nauseating.
- 44:17And you know, again I I don't like to wish state violence on
- 44:20people. But like bro, he broke the law.
- 44:23There is. There's very real long lasting
- 44:27laws that he is broking. He defrauded the customers out
- 44:30there and yet FTX is, it's in the works of re rolling itself
- 44:35out without SPF like that brand is absolutely destroyed.
- 44:38I don't know anyone in their right mind who would.
- 44:41Want to put any Carter on FTX? It's absolute clown world.
- 44:46Hence why I really like that montage.
- 44:48I'm glad we played that as well. Reston is we've been saying for
- 44:51a long time. Look, we know all Bitcoin
- 44:54companies aren't perfect, but you want to make sure that you
- 44:58are at the very least going to a Bitcoin only exchange to get
- 45:01your Bitcoin because you never know what's going to happen.
- 45:05And at least Bitcoin only exchanges have put their own
- 45:10reputation online to ensure that the customers out there don't
- 45:14get defrauded. Like it's absolutely incredible
- 45:18that we are in this situation right now.
- 45:21And I I I think we were saying and very cynical.
- 45:25I won't, I won't say Nico, I I think I was very cynical on the
- 45:28shows like look, SPF is going to walk walk out of this with just
- 45:32you know slap on the wrist and I think it's still yet to be seen
- 45:36whether that is the case. Yes, he is, you know, guilty.
- 45:40And hopefully the the court of public opinion will show that he
- 45:44is guilty and not like what they're saying out there.
- 45:46The narratives of like, oh, he's just a kid.
- 45:49He didn't know what he was doing.
- 45:50No, there's been internal dialogue.
- 45:53We've been showing it all all year long that they knew exactly
- 45:56what they were doing, that I just.
- 45:58See Caroline herself, Fake big point like it's incredible.
- 46:03I just see like big hypocrisy too in leaving out the campaign
- 46:07finance issue. When if you go back the 90s and
- 46:1080s, there was like this connection with like GOP and
- 46:14like casinos and churches and some money laundering operations
- 46:18that were going on there to fund conservatives and I mean that
- 46:22got like you know, that was a big ass deal.
- 46:25And the the the politicians, I mean it was a campaign finance
- 46:28violation. They they violated campaign
- 46:31finance laws. They accepted stolen funds.
- 46:34Where's? Where's the, you know,
- 46:37consequences there. Yeah.
- 46:38Where where's the clawbacks on that money?
- 46:40Are are the politicians gonna give that money back?
- 46:43No. Absolutely incredible.
- 46:44And actually, you reminded me of a point that I wanted to touch
- 46:47on and everyone was saying in the chat and I'm gonna double
- 46:51down even further. Look, we didn't even have video
- 46:54footage of this court ruling. There was like, I I forget what
- 46:58it was, but it's something like 2 to 4 hours where they're like,
- 47:00OK, sorry, public has to get out of here.
- 47:02Jury has to get out of here. We have to talk about some
- 47:05things and we don't get to see what's going on like what kind
- 47:08of Shenet. Shenanigans are happening.
- 47:10We only we only televise trials when someone shits on Johnny
- 47:14Depp's bed. Up to you that that's exactly
- 47:17like what is. And then furthermore, I was
- 47:19going to double down on this. Do not forget the amount of
- 47:23meetings that Gary Gensler had with Sam Bateman freed.
- 47:28Like, guys, what the hell is going on here?
- 47:31You know, I, I, I, you guys always say, oh, we're just, we
- 47:34come on simply Bitcoin and we just whine and complain.
- 47:36About that too. And they're changing.
- 47:39But dude, just guys. It's about exposing the
- 47:44hypocrisy of the system. We constantly bring on the
- 47:47receipts every single day so that the hypocrisy gets exposed
- 47:51so that that we can plant and incept these ideas and people
- 47:53and and hopefully have them ask questions and wonder.
- 47:56Wait, what the hell is going on? I weren't they saying the
- 48:00opposite a couple days ago? Now like, what is going on?
- 48:02This is what we're trying to instill in.
- 48:04Anyone. Everyone.
- 48:05Anyways, Ruston, jump in. Sorry, there was Gary actually
- 48:10had some things that he had to deal with, with some campaign
- 48:13things back with Hillary as well.
- 48:15You know he kind of got off on those surprise, surprise.
- 48:18But these things, you know, we we see chains of criminals.
- 48:22And getting promoted like the felons like Lagarde that that
- 48:26dictate whether, you know, people go poor the next few
- 48:29months and things of this nature.
- 48:31These people are not looking out in your best interests.
- 48:33They want to make you poor and they want to make you completely
- 48:36reliant on their system. That's all it is.
- 48:39But you don't need to be reliant on them.
- 48:41They're irrelevant now. Absolutely incredible.
- 48:45It's just it's it's nuts man. And and yeah, look at what's
- 48:51where, where'd this guy Archie shouts out to, Archie says.
- 48:54And what about his parents and the lawyer guy?
- 48:56Like this whole saga is is absolutely incredible.
- 49:01It's just it's really mind blowing and and look, being
- 49:06generous. Yeah, you can say oh they didn't
- 49:08know, you know oh you know what's that one rule I I forget
- 49:11what it is. But like what you can attribute
- 49:14to malice you can just attribute to stupidity.
- 49:16I I think at this point you you you can pretty much safely
- 49:22suggest that there is some kind of back end stuff going on and
- 49:26we're just not a part of it. Guys, you're not.
- 49:27I'm pretty sure negligence is not a defense in this in this
- 49:32arena. It's crazy.
- 49:34It's absolutely crazy. All right.
- 49:36Anyways guys. Wow whoa wait.
- 49:40Before I go on though I I do want to shout out our boys
- 49:44because you did bring it up and let's let's Barbra Streisand
- 49:49this a little bit So as we covered and and I'm sure Nico
- 49:53and I will cover this on Monday just because it's kind of a a
- 49:55big story. This Is Us then they fight you
- 49:58stage This Is Us over the target and I talked with my boy Joe.
- 50:02He literally is the one that put pushed the edit button out
- 50:05there. You know fed now Federal Reserve
- 50:10suing Bitcoin magazine for these T-shirts right here.
- 50:14They hadn't sold any of them. So this isn't like a marketing
- 50:17ploy. I I think he told me they sold
- 50:18like less than ten of these shirts and someone said in the
- 50:21chat these shirts might become collector's editions.
- 50:25I might have to get one just cuz now.
- 50:28But Barbra Streisand effect in real time and and this just goes
- 50:32to show, like as much as they try to paint SPF as as being a
- 50:36good guy, you know that the powers that be are working in
- 50:39your favor. It's just it's just more and
- 50:43more and more shenanigans and it's just it's absolutely
- 50:47incredible. Anyways, before we move on to
- 50:50the culture shouts out to the boys over at Kaboom Racks.
- 50:52Kaboom racks go to kaboomracks.com.
- 50:57If you are thinking about getting into mining, you can buy
- 51:01a six, you can sell a six they get.
- 51:03They'll even host a six for you. They have their Stellar Kaboom
- 51:06Racks firmware so you can make sure that your ASICS are running
- 51:10however you want them. Get in touch with.
- 51:13Them best deals you're going to get on miners guys right there
- 51:16this is the place to go. Get in touch with them in
- 51:18telegram group. They got a solid telegram group
- 51:20and and get in touch with my boy Alex.
- 51:23He is constantly in touch with you guys.
- 51:26If you are questioning whether you want to get into mining I'm
- 51:30sure he will probably tell you not to buy miners.
- 51:33Even though his job is to tell you to buy miners.
- 51:36They are the goats out there. They they'll answer all your
- 51:39questions. They'll basically give you that
- 51:41white glove service every single day so that you know what you're
- 51:44getting yourself into. This is their job.
- 51:46So get in touch with Alex at Kaboom Racks, jump in their
- 51:49telegram group, go to kaboomracks.com Kaboom Racks and
- 51:53if you've been on the fence, they'll let you know when's the
- 51:56best time to be buying some ASICS and what you should be
- 51:59buying. And Alex is telling me he's he's
- 52:03he's pretty bullish, pretty bullish on on the Gen.
- 52:08A6 that are going to drop soon. So we'll probably bring them on
- 52:12the show soon anyways. Yeah, I can't wait to see the
- 52:15dynamics of how that's going to, you know, with the hash rate,
- 52:18the profitability like S nines, you know those guys are probably
- 52:23about obsolete. How like I still from what I've
- 52:26seen, they say S 19, J Pros, we're still looking solid 334
- 52:30years of some solid profitability.
- 52:32But I mean, who knows? Who knows where everything goes?
- 52:39But I love The Who knows? Alex knows the Kaboom Rats.
- 52:42Guys know? Get in touch with them.
- 52:44Let's get into the culture, the daily culture.

- 53:08What are you waiting for? Visit swanbitcoin.com today.
- 53:14Yeah the chat. Yeah the chat is is undefeated
- 53:18undefeated shots at the planet. I was fed down response letter
- 53:21from Bitcoin mag is so good. Best advertising ever.
- 53:23Probably going to orange pill some folks at the Fed over this.
- 53:26Oh yeah. I wanted to say when I was
- 53:28talking to my boy Joe, we were laughing at the idea that
- 53:32someone over there some dupe over at the Federal Reserve is
- 53:36his job is to just read Bitcoin Magazine.
- 53:39Like his job was to comb over Bitcoin Magazine's trolley merch
- 53:44and and write up a report against it.
- 53:47Like just absolutely love it. And everyone else, you you guys,
- 53:50you guys are hitting on it. Did they not?
- 53:52Did. They not see that's blatant
- 53:54sedition X like it's a yeah so yes what what I'll I'll maybe
- 53:59I'll cover it. We'll cover it next week
- 54:01probably. You know, the TLDR is that they
- 54:04were saying that Bitcoin Mag was trying to associate themselves
- 54:07with the Fed Now system when it was a complete opposite.
- 54:10They were making fun of it. They were ridiculing it.
- 54:13It's parody anyway. Trust.
- 54:15Us. No one wants to be a part.
- 54:17No one here wants part of the incredible, all right, guys.
- 54:20So before you guys continue to call me simply status show and
- 54:24renaming the show or or renaming the show as simply black rocker,
- 54:28simply institutional invest, You guys know what I say all the
- 54:32time. The most important thing is for
- 54:34you guys, the individual, to be holding spot Bitcoin.
- 54:37Literally custodying your Bitcoin is the revolution.
- 54:40It's a paradigm shift. Taking control of your money is
- 54:44the revolution. Do not leave your Bitcoin on
- 54:47exchanges. Do not trust someone else with
- 54:49your money. But with that being said, I did
- 54:51mention this tweet from Rip Van Winkle, AKA Daniel Erepole, and
- 55:01I I really like this. It really kind of, I don't know,
- 55:06I wouldn't say necessarily like planted new ideas, but the
- 55:10numbers here, the numbers here are are so strong.
- 55:15It's it just goes to show that Satoshi, I think, really
- 55:20thought, thought this whole thing through.
- 55:22And you know the mean Bitcoin is for enemies.
- 55:25I don't know if that's the best meme, but people's incentives
- 55:28will incentivize them to embrace Bitcoin and not necessarily
- 55:32fight it. You know, we we know the
- 55:34BlackRock concerns about them forking Bitcoin.
- 55:36But hey, if Uncle Larry Fink has shown US one thing is he loves
- 55:43money. And of course he's going to love
- 55:45the best money in the world. So whether he's a full blown
- 55:48bitcoiner on the Bitcoin standard, probably not.
- 55:51He's chasing Fiat gains. It it, it is what it is.
- 55:54But let me read this thread because it really leans into
- 55:58what Satoshi wrote in the white paper and I think it kind of
- 56:02gets sheds good light on that before everyone calls me simply
- 56:05Black Rock Shell paid Black Rock shell, whatever, whatever.
- 56:08We knew this was coming. We knew institutional adoption
- 56:10was coming. We knew that the Fiat system's
- 56:13breaking. We know that Bitcoin is the risk
- 56:16off asset and you know, we all come for the money, but we stay
- 56:21to fix the money. And maybe, just maybe, we're on
- 56:24the timeline where Bitcoin takes down BlackRock.
- 56:29All right, all right, let me read this, let me read this
- 56:31thread. So there's Rip and Winkle on
- 56:34Twitter and he goes. People still think that Larry
- 56:36Fink and BlackRock have some sort of dubious sinister plan to
- 56:39Co-op, manipulate or destroy Bitcoin.
- 56:42I'm still open to the idea that this is a possibility.
- 56:44Do not let your guard down, you know.
- 56:46But the game theory may be suggesting otherwise.
- 56:50So we'll see what happens moving forward.
- 56:53This is only something that time will tell anyways, Rip van
- 56:56Biegel goes take off the tinfoil hat for a minute and listen to
- 56:59some reason Larry Fink and BlackRock are good for Bitcoin.
- 57:03Why? Because of entives, their
- 57:04incentives, and ours. As Bitcoin are very much aligned
- 57:07as bitcoiners. We want to see BTC continue to
- 57:10gain adoption as a store of value and eventually as a medium
- 57:14of exchange. BlackRock cares about one thing
- 57:16and one thing only, making money.
- 57:19BlackRock is primarily an asset manager, which means they earn
- 57:22fees by growing their assets under management.
- 57:24The more Bitcoin they hold in their ETF, the more they'll
- 57:27collect in fees. In this way, Blackrock's greed
- 57:30works in our favor. They have a strong incentive to
- 57:33help Dr. awareness and adoption of Bitcoin.
- 57:35They're going to let loose their army of salespeople to start
- 57:37educating their clients about Bitcoin to draw on hundreds of
- 57:40billions of dollars into the spot ETF ticker symbol IBTC.
- 57:44Their own analysts predict inflows of $200 billion from
- 57:48their existing clients over the first three years.
- 57:51Say they hit the number and they charge 60 basis points as their
- 57:54fee. 60 basis points on $200 billion is $1.2 billion per year
- 57:59in fees. BlackRock trades with a revenue
- 58:01multiple of 5.5 X, so that would boost their market cap by $6.6
- 58:06billion. For a $97 billion market cap
- 58:10company, that's meaningful for a single product out of hundreds
- 58:13of ETFs. But that's not what got Uncle
- 58:15Larry all hot and bothered. He's playing the long game.
- 58:18Uncle Larry knows that Bitcoin has more upside than anything
- 58:21else they hold in their family of ETFs.
- 58:23Let's say Bitcoin does a 20X over the next decade.
- 58:25Now their assets under management is $4 trillion from
- 58:28just this product alone. Now their fee from IBTC is
- 58:32raking in $24 billion per year and increasing their market cap
- 58:36by $132 billion. All of this assumes that only 2%
- 58:40of Blackrock's current assets under management finds its way
- 58:43into IBTCETF. That's their goal.
- 58:46If you're Larry Fink, the success of this product alone
- 58:49will grow your personal wealth by hundreds of millions to
- 58:51billions of dollars. The same incentive is at play
- 58:54for every executive and employee at the firm.
- 58:57Bitcoin is a black hole of incentives, and not even
- 59:00BlackRock can escape it. Hashtag.
- 59:02Bitcoin hashtag. Get off 0 and there's a few
- 59:05things I want to touch on. First and foremost, of course,
- 59:09Satoshi, I think, thought this through right.
- 59:12He wrote this in the white paper.
- 59:14This is portion 6 of the white paper incentive.
- 59:17By convention, the first transaction in a block is a
- 59:20special transaction that starts a new coin owned by the creator
- 59:22of the block. He's going through the
- 59:23mechanism. This adds an incentive for notes
- 59:26to support the network and provides a way to initially
- 59:28distribute coins into circulation since there is no
- 59:30central authority to issue them. The steady addition of a
- 59:33constant of amount of new coins is analogous to gold miners
- 59:36expanding resources to add gold to circulation.
- 59:39In our case, it is CPU time and electricity that is expended.
- 59:43The incentive can also be funded with transaction fees.
- 59:46If the output value of a transaction is less than its
- 59:48input value, the difference is a transaction fee that is added to
- 59:52the incentive value of the block containing the transaction.
- 59:54Once a predetermined number of coins have entered circulation,
- 59:57the incentive can transition entirely to transaction fees and
- 1:00:00be completely inflation free. And this is where.
- 1:00:03I think even Satoshi was thinking about Larry Fink.
- 1:00:06In the long term, the incentive may help encourage nodes to stay
- 1:00:09honest. If a greedy attacker is able to
- 1:00:11assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have
- 1:00:14to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back
- 1:00:17his payments or using it to generate new coins.
- 1:00:20He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules,
- 1:00:23such rules that favor him with more new coins than anyone
- 1:00:26everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the
- 1:00:29validity of his own. Well, and we're seeing in this
- 1:00:34conversation in today's theme, you know, SPF was incentivized
- 1:00:38to defraud his customers because he's creating shit coins.
- 1:00:42Larry Fink's product is a Bitcoin spot Bitcoin ETF.
- 1:00:45So if the Bitcoin's incentives are pure, if the Bitcoin's
- 1:00:49incentives stay working, he is going to be incentivized to
- 1:00:52continue to share Bitcoin education, to continue to
- 1:00:57educate his customers on what the best practices are.
- 1:01:02Of course, we highly recommend you don't use an ETF, but we
- 1:01:06understand that this is going to open up the flood grates from
- 1:01:08all the traditional financial markets into Bitcoin.
- 1:01:11Hopefully, in time these ETF products will allow people to
- 1:01:15custody their Bitcoin, because why are you going to trust them?
- 1:01:17You you don't have to pay a fee to just take Bitcoin into
- 1:01:20custody. You don't have to pay that 2%
- 1:01:22annual fee to BlackRock for you to custody your Bitcoin.
- 1:01:26But of course, as Bitcoiners we are always thinking about the
- 1:01:29game theory, and we're always concerned about hard forks and
- 1:01:32whether, you know, bad actors can actively and potentially and
- 1:01:40and in real time affect the network.
- 1:01:42And so of course there is concern about the centralization
- 1:01:46of coins, but This is why you guys out there have to make it
- 1:01:49through the hotto buyout zone. There's not that much Bitcoin
- 1:01:52going around. We constantly cover 93% of all
- 1:01:56the bitcoins that will ever be created are already distributed.
- 1:02:00This is a feature, not a bug. And most of the Bitcoin that is
- 1:02:04distributed is in cold storage. I think the numbers were like
- 1:02:0785% or something like that. I think there's like 2 million
- 1:02:11on exchanges. They have to incentivize you to
- 1:02:16let go of those bitcoins again. Maybe this weekend.
- 1:02:20Do yourself some more homework. Excuse me?
- 1:02:22Go read Everyone's a Scammer by Bitstein.
- 1:02:25And remember that everyone is a scammer and they all want your
- 1:02:28Bitcoin. We we know for sure that there
- 1:02:31is concerns. Keep your head on a swivel.
- 1:02:34Make sure you are protecting yourself.
- 1:02:36Hence why we always tell you to take your Bitcoin into self
- 1:02:38custody. You know there's various ways to
- 1:02:41do it. I'm getting yelled at in the
- 1:02:42chat that I that I need to do another round of.
- 1:02:45You know once again I'm here to tell you guys how to take
- 1:02:48Bitcoin into self custody. So I'll do that in the next week
- 1:02:52so the new guys can get up to speed.
- 1:02:54But it just goes to show guys I I really do believe that
- 1:02:57bitcoin's incentives state winning that bitcoin's
- 1:02:59incentives are pure or else what are we doing here?
- 1:03:02If Bitcoin cannot withstand BlackRock what are we doing
- 1:03:06here? We know greed is good.
- 1:03:10BlackRock. Larry Fink, they all want to
- 1:03:13make money. They want to continue to make
- 1:03:14money. And look, congratulations to all
- 1:03:17you guys. You front run the institutions,
- 1:03:19You front ran Larry Fink and moving forward they have no more
- 1:03:25control of the network than you do just because they have more
- 1:03:28coins. This is the feature, not a bug.
- 1:03:30Anyways, I went, I went he I went a little long.
- 1:03:35What's your thoughts, Rustin? No, I brought the heat up the
- 1:03:38again, like we hit on this yesterday, kind of bigger
- 1:03:41numbers, brings bigger numbers and then Oh yeah, click
- 1:03:44yesterday, repeat that, repeat that again bigger.
- 1:03:47Numbers. Yeah, bigger numbers bring
- 1:03:49bigger numbers. A lot of people talk about
- 1:03:51Bitcoin and diminishing returns, but Bitcoin is a fixed supply,
- 1:03:55finite asset. OK, and there's game theory.
- 1:03:58And the incentives are so powerful, Opti and Nico hit on
- 1:04:01this all the time. All right, so bigger numbers.
- 1:04:04Remember, Bitcoin wasn't big enough for institutions, its
- 1:04:07market caps too small. It's not worth enough.
- 1:04:10It's not on enough people's radar.
- 1:04:12Well, now BlackRock is going to be going in.
- 1:04:14And they themselves said 200, three, 100 billion influx.
- 1:04:18Which is half of Bitcoin's current market cap.
- 1:04:21So we can talk about what that will do to price, but that will
- 1:04:24also bring in bigger numbers. Bigger numbers means, well, the
- 1:04:27other institutions don't want to lose, right?
- 1:04:30Even if they don't like Bitcoin, BlackRock is going to benefit
- 1:04:34from you using it. So the incentives are there if I
- 1:04:37want to compete and stay relevant.
- 1:04:40Because of this, we know what's going on in clown world.
- 1:04:43I've got to start adopting Bitcoin.
- 1:04:44I've got to offer it to my customers because they're
- 1:04:46demanding it. They are seeking self
- 1:04:49preservation and Opti's hitting on this.
- 1:04:51Your greed to to preserve yourself, your greed to look out
- 1:04:56for your future is what is steering people to Bitcoin.
- 1:04:59And the big thing there that we get into as well, like the
- 1:05:02flight to the flight to quality. Well, what are they fleeing
- 1:05:06from? That's what we got to think
- 1:05:08about, right? What are they running away from?
- 1:05:10And they're that's that's the message that isn't being told,
- 1:05:13but doesn't necessarily have to. They're floating it out there.
- 1:05:16You know, we have Ray Dalio, we have Druckenmiller, we have all
- 1:05:20these people talking about the economic calamity, but then
- 1:05:23they're also talking about how Bitcoin is this benefit.
- 1:05:26So I mean it's kind of interesting how the tables have
- 1:05:29turned, but the bigger numbers again will bring bigger numbers.
- 1:05:34As nation states start utilizing Bitcoin to benefit themselves,
- 1:05:39those who don't will lose or those it will push others to
- 1:05:42adopt. But it's going to create bigger
- 1:05:44numbers. Everyone is adopting Bitcoin
- 1:05:48because of necessity. Even the Larry Finks and the
- 1:05:51Black Rocks and the State Street and Vanguards like the everyone
- 1:05:56is going to adopt Bitcoin out of necessity.
- 1:05:58Anyways, I I want to hit on a few comments here on the Rumble
- 1:06:01chat. First one UTXL simply
- 1:06:04institutions with the legendary optimist Fink.
- 1:06:08Optimist Fink. All right, man, that's a meme
- 1:06:11you need. Optimist Fink.
- 1:06:13God. Y'all.
- 1:06:15Sheesh. All right.
- 1:06:16Next one. Rumble savage, Rumble savage.
- 1:06:20Yeah, all right, narwhal tacos goes.
- 1:06:23If ETFs are as successful as speculated, eventually clients
- 1:06:27will begin clamoring to be allowed to take their BTC off
- 1:06:30the exchange, as some events will surely expose why that
- 1:06:33score to Bitcoin. And then in response, nothing
- 1:06:36attracts a crowd like a crowd. And and you know, that's a good
- 1:06:39meme. I really like how Ruston says
- 1:06:41that, you know, big number attracts bigger number.
- 1:06:43You know, the crowd attracts a crowd.
- 1:06:45Humans are very simple creatures.
- 1:06:47Psychology is is a it's a very funny thing.
- 1:06:50And for better or worse, guys, this is the nod to the average
- 1:06:54person out there that hey, yeah. Maybe I need to get some just in
- 1:06:57case, but. Normies, normies aren't going to
- 1:07:00be like hey watch this thing and Ruston and Optimus Field said I
- 1:07:04need to go I need to get on 0 but if Larry we can incept the
- 1:07:07ideas. But if Larry Fink says it, yeah,
- 1:07:10they'll start to catch on. We're trying.
- 1:07:12Let's double down on XX, he he guys.
- 1:07:15This is why you want to hang on the chat.
- 1:07:16There's a lot of good good signal in here that I can't
- 1:07:19always get to. But XX goes read my lips.
- 1:07:21It's the banks all caps. They are about to lose their
- 1:07:24assets in bad debt. They will make that up by
- 1:07:27holding on and off ramps into Bitcoin hostage.
- 1:07:31Yes, I 100% agree. As we are seeing on today's
- 1:07:35episode and we've actually been covering this.
- 1:07:38Or they'll try to make you purchase with the CBDC, so then
- 1:07:42they'll know and then they'll be able to track from purchase.
- 1:07:44And we're seeing this is the beginning stages of then they
- 1:07:48they fight you. We have not seen the direct
- 1:07:50attacks on Bitcoin. We're seeing kind of these sly,
- 1:07:53roundabout attacks, whether it's fighting Bitcoin, whether it's
- 1:07:57painting us in bad light, whether it's going out against
- 1:08:01some propaganda denouncing them, you know, ridiculing them.
- 1:08:05It just goes to show that. We're right and we will stay,
- 1:08:08right? Oh, my God.
- 1:08:11Hold on. Before I get into the memes.
- 1:08:13The Bitcoin, Yes, Optimist sphinx says.
- 1:08:15Transform and status out. Oh my God.
- 1:08:19Wow, I'm getting wrecked. All right, all right.
- 1:08:20Enough of this. Enough of this.
- 1:08:22I am the dictator here. The Daily Meme Review Sheesh,
- 1:08:37y'all are too savage. Mad as I tell as I tell Rustin
- 1:08:42sometimes. If I if I source myself esteem
- 1:08:45from you guys trolling me in the chat, oh man, it'd be a it'd be
- 1:08:49a a pretty sad pessimistic fields.
- 1:08:53Anyways, anyways, this is a meme review where you send me memes
- 1:08:57on Twitter, tag me at simply Bitcoin TV, or for the time
- 1:09:01being at Optimus Fields, tag your favorite memers, tag your
- 1:09:05own memes. I can't get to everyone, but
- 1:09:07I'll bring up some solid ones that I think are kind of on
- 1:09:11theme for today's show. Tweets of the Bullets Memes of
- 1:09:13the Utili continue to ridicule. The corporate press continue to
- 1:09:17get the cause of action out there in bite size form because
- 1:09:21everyone's got ADD and they can't read an article, they
- 1:09:24can't watch a full show. So you make some memes so you
- 1:09:27can incept these ideas and of course make some funny so your
- 1:09:30friends and families heads stay in the game.
- 1:09:33All right, 1st meme is by a big elephant and it's just it might
- 1:09:38make sense just to get some in case it catches on.
- 1:09:40If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self
- 1:09:42fulfilling prophecy. And we got this video here.
- 1:09:44I'm not gonna pay play the video because it's got some audio that
- 1:09:48might be copyrighted, but I'm sure you guys saw this video of
- 1:09:52this family on Halloween and someone left out a bucket of
- 1:09:56candy and they just absolutely raided the bucket and left
- 1:10:00nothing behind. Well, of course Bitcoiners are
- 1:10:03gonna meme this. So let's go around.
- 1:10:05First you see, you know, the mom, Max and Stacy.
- 1:10:08And then you see that, oh, geez, digging in.
- 1:10:10Then the class of 2013 digging in and then the class of 2017
- 1:10:13digging in. And we're all playing Hungry
- 1:10:15Hippo, trying to get more sats. And then at the very end, you
- 1:10:19see Sailor pop in. And then of course, you see
- 1:10:23BlackRock ETF and the Fed. They come in and there's there's
- 1:10:27there's no more Bitcoin left. There's there's no Bitcoin left
- 1:10:29because we have taken Bitcoin into cold storage.
- 1:10:32We have controlled our keys and they're going to have to get us
- 1:10:38our Bitcoin from our winning hands.
- 1:10:41I was gonna say the meme, but they're gonna they're gonna
- 1:10:44offer you a price, guys. They're gonna give you the
- 1:10:46world. Do not sell your Bitcoin to
- 1:10:50them. Huddle.
- 1:10:51Make it through the Huddle Buyout zone.
- 1:10:52Anyways, the next meme is by Lynn Alden.
- 1:10:55Goes hard. That's at the Lynn Alden.
- 1:10:57You know, she's usually one of the best macro analysts out
- 1:11:00there. But when she drops a meme
- 1:11:02ridiculing the macro situation, you just know it hits hard.
- 1:11:06And and Ruston covered this yesterday.
- 1:11:09So she's quote, tweeting Japan to approve $110 billion stimulus
- 1:11:13package to fight inflation. Clown world Keynesian Keynesian
- 1:11:19economics. You print money to fight.
- 1:11:21Inflation can't. Fix stupid Opty if if you if
- 1:11:26that hypocrisy isn't evident to you, then I I have some more
- 1:11:30homework to do here and I'll have to explain why.
- 1:11:33OK. And here we got this Breaking
- 1:11:35Bad meme and it just you know, he's staring.
- 1:11:38I I don't even know what the guy's name I've never seen
- 1:11:40Breaking Bad but I know it's from Here he goes when you're
- 1:11:42just getting started. Walter White Yeah.
- 1:11:45OK. Because when you're just getting
- 1:11:46started, nothing stops this train.
- 1:11:48And he's looking just so on point on the mission guys, we
- 1:11:54said all the time stealing it from Greg Foss.
- 1:11:57It's 11th grade math. They have to continue to print.
- 1:11:59They will. They will find ways to print
- 1:12:03more. They will find ways to gaslight
- 1:12:06you into thinking we need to print more money.
- 1:12:09They will even start wars to print more money.
- 1:12:12But one thing is for sure, they have to print more and more more
- 1:12:17to keep the system alive hence. Why?
- 1:12:19And they have to maybe sometimes create problems that allow them
- 1:12:23to do so. But you know, who knows?
- 1:12:25Who knows? We're not speculating, but one
- 1:12:29thing for sure, they're stealing your wealth.
- 1:12:30So we've opted out saving Bitcoin.
- 1:12:36Something that cannot be debased, something that they
- 1:12:39can't steal, property that they cannot steal.
- 1:12:42Seems like such a simple decision.
- 1:12:44Anyways, we got RDBTCAKA at Rd. under score BTC on Twitter and
- 1:12:49again quote tweeting the same tweet.
- 1:12:51Running out of ideas I guess #inflation hashtag central
- 1:12:54banks, hashtag Bitcoin and we got the flex.
- 1:12:57Is it flex tape? Yeah, flex tape.
- 1:12:59And it's central banks. And you see the hole that they
- 1:13:02caused in the system is inflation caused by more money
- 1:13:04printing. And they slap the flex tape on
- 1:13:07it and the water continues to go through the tape because they're
- 1:13:11just printing more money. And it's so simple, when they
- 1:13:14print more money, it causes inflation.
- 1:13:16The expansion of the money supply is the root cause of
- 1:13:20inflation. So if you print more money, how
- 1:13:23does that fix inflation? Oh my goodness.
- 1:13:27It's almost like they don't teach you economics in school.
- 1:13:29It's almost like they gaslight into believing that they have
- 1:13:32the solutions when they are literally the problem.
- 1:13:35OK, next one is Greg Zodge one and classic, classic King of the
- 1:13:40Hill meme here. I really enjoyed this King of
- 1:13:44what's it, Hank Hills talking to Baba Hill.
- 1:13:46And he goes, you know what's not cool, Bobby?
- 1:13:49Printing money to fight inflation.
- 1:13:51That's not. That's what's not fucking cool.
- 1:13:54Quit printing money. Quit stealing our wealth.
- 1:13:57It's so simple guys. We I will continue to beat this
- 1:14:00drum until every person on planet earth understands that
- 1:14:04printing more money causes inflation.
- 1:14:06They are literally stealing from you.
- 1:14:07Wake up OK, next one shouted to my boy.
- 1:14:09Nick can't mine. He recycles this for me
- 1:14:12constantly. But he he's got the updated
- 1:14:16version here and he goes how the Bitcoin bull market is going to
- 1:14:18go. And we got Larry Pink here.
- 1:14:21This is I I. What is this like is?
- 1:14:24This like this is epic. I I forget what the screenshot
- 1:14:27is of the video game. But it I think it's like James
- 1:14:29Bond or I don't know, it's you know it's guys with guns leaving
- 1:14:33the elevator and one of them's got Larry Fink, the next one's
- 1:14:36got fidelity, the next one's got the Black Rock logo and the lead
- 1:14:40gun is the Bitcoin logo And it goes remember, no dips.
- 1:14:45Remember it is November. No dip November going into no
- 1:14:51dip December going into Valhalla 2025.
- 1:14:55This is the way Bitcoin is going up forever Laura.
- 1:14:59OK, Gandalf, BTC Gamondoff on Twitter goes we did it.
- 1:15:03We front ran the institutions and we got the the Django
- 1:15:09Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he's got his drink and he's
- 1:15:12smiling and it goes BlackRock late to the Bitcoin party.
- 1:15:16Where all the cheap sets. Where Where the cheap sets?
- 1:15:18Huh. Where'd they go?
- 1:15:20I I want cheap sets. You know Sam Bateman fraud gave
- 1:15:23us cheap sets for over 2 years. China gave us cheap sets for
- 1:15:27over 2 years. You know we're anything under
- 1:15:29100K. We got neutered in the last bull
- 1:15:31market. We have cheap sets for far too
- 1:15:34damn long in my opinion. But we all got cheap sets, so I
- 1:15:38hope you stacked hard because the cheap sets may be off the
- 1:15:43plate. Anyways, this is the plebs
- 1:15:46laughing as Leonardo DiCaprio as a fat Leonardo DiCaprio because
- 1:15:50we took all the cheap sets. Thank you very much.
- 1:15:52We had played Hungry Hippo. It's a game of accumulation and
- 1:15:57all the sets are mine. Anyways, drop your meme review
