''$10M Bitcoin Tomorrow'' OR MicroStrategy FORCED Sell? | EP 1218 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  Dow, the Bitcoin billionaire, said that Bitcoin would go to
• 0:03
  $10 million tomorrow if everybody knew what he did or
• 0:08
  what he knows in this new bombshell interview that he did
• 0:12
  recently. But at the same times, Forbes
• 0:15
  and people all over X or Twitter, however you want to
• 0:17
  call it, are speculating that Sailor could potentially be at
• 0:21
  risk of selling his Bitcoin depending on how far the price
• 0:26
  dumps. But before we get into all of
• 0:29
  that, I have the clip for you guys.
• 0:30
  It is very interesting and extremely spicy.
• 0:34
  Let's check it out. Volatility was a gift to the
• 0:37
  faithful. It scares away the tourist, it
• 0:41
  scares away the lazy. It scares away the people that
• 0:46
  are already conventionally rich, that have all the money.
• 0:50
  If you're a 20 something or a 30 something and you're willing to
• 0:53
  do the work, if you're willing to spend 100 hours or 200 hours,
• 0:56
  if you have more time than money, then the volatility of
• 1:00
  Bitcoin is a gift to you. If you have more, if you're, if
• 1:04
  you have more money than time and you're arrogant and
• 1:07
  egotistical and, and you just pick the obvious, then if the
• 1:14
  volatility goes away, you buy Bitcoin.
• 1:17
  If people, if people in the rest of the world knew what I know
• 1:20
  and they understood and they agreed with me, Bitcoin would go
• 1:24
  to $10 million tomorrow. And if Bitcoin went to $10
• 1:28
  million tomorrow, I want you to think about how you would feel
• 1:33
  and how your viewers would feel. Because you would lose 20 years
• 1:38
  of stacking opportunity during which you get to buy it less
• 1:42
  than $10 million. So the difference between $10
• 1:46
  million and 100,000, that's what you give up if the volatility
• 1:50
  goes. I mean, OK, a couple things to
• 1:56
  unpack that we're going to reorder.
• 1:58
  Thank you, Opti. I mean, I'll be honest with you
• 2:02
  guys. This is starting to sound like a
• 2:04
  cult at least. At least our cult is dope.
• 2:07
  Like the Fiat cult sucks. Like they got a pyramid on the
• 2:10
  back of the dollar. It's like all sketchy and stuff.
• 2:13
  But yeah, I mean, it is kind of, you know, but at least number
• 2:16
  does go up. Like sailor is right.
• 2:18
  But another thing that I'll kind of point out to you guys, right?
• 2:21
  And maybe I'm like reading too much into it, but his body
• 2:25
  language there compared to his body language right before the
• 2:29
  digital asset summit at the White House was like night and
• 2:32
  day. Like before the digital asset
• 2:35
  summit, he was like, I believe he was on CNBC.
• 2:37
  His back was completely straight and he had a giant smile on his
• 2:41
  face. And like now it's, it's a little
• 2:43
  bit different. It's a little bit tempered,
• 2:45
  right? But I do want to give
• 2:47
  MicroStrategy credit where credit is due because at the end
• 2:50
  of the day, it has held up pretty well compared to the rest
• 2:54
  of the market that has been absolutely, you know, just
• 2:58
  crushed, right? So that's my take there.
• 3:03
  And another thing I'll say too about this like $10 million
• 3:06
  prediction. Again, this is coming from his
• 3:09
  thesis that he laid out or the presentation he laid out at the
• 3:12
  Bitcoin Nashville conference where he.
• 3:14
  Essentially laid out, he's like, look.
• 3:16
  It's either going to hit $5,000,000 per coin, $13 million
• 3:18
  per coin or $50 million per coin by the year 2045 S like 20 years
• 3:22
  from now. My base case is 13 million.
• 3:25
  And also it should, you know, compound 40% and it'll stabilize
• 3:31
  around 20%. But you're hearing all that and
• 3:34
  actually was like running some numbers yesterday.
• 3:37
  I think the reason that a lot of us potentially might feel
• 3:40
  frustrated, especially if you've been here, you know, this full
• 3:43
  cycle and I was actually texting this to Opti yesterday.
• 3:47
  If you go back and you look at the growth of Bitcoin for the
• 3:53
  last four years, it's been 40%. If you go from April 8th today
• 3:59
  to April 8th 2021 or whatever, bitcoins only gone up 40%.
• 4:06
  Now I know I'm like picking and choosing dates.
• 4:09
  I know that that was like the top of the last bowl and then
• 4:12
  there was a bear and it went down to 16 and now it's back at
• 4:15
  78. But it's still, it's, you still
• 4:20
  feel it that it's only been, you know, it's only been 40%.
• 4:24
  Now, to be fair, if you extend it out to five years instead of
• 4:29
  four years, Bitcoin is actually up 1000%, so 10X, right?
• 4:34
  So what a difference a year can make.
• 4:37
  And another thing that I'll say too to add to like what Saylor
• 4:40
  was talking about regarding the $10 million Bitcoin and like if
• 4:44
  people knew what he knows and that if they would agree with
• 4:46
  him etcetera, etcetera. I think this is going to take a
• 4:49
  little bit longer than people anticipated.
• 4:51
  I think Bitcoin is big enough or it's a macro asset.
• 4:55
  I think it's getting affected by just what's going going on
• 4:59
  globally with the tariffs and the current monetary policy of
• 5:03
  the Fed. I think it was OPTI that was
• 5:04
  telling me this. Bitcoin has only existed in a
• 5:07
  QTAQE environment. We've been in AQT environment.
• 5:12
  Now there is plans or you know, people are expecting the Fed to
• 5:15
  change course in the summer and the money printer goes Burr.
• 5:21
  Trump can't get his agenda passed without the money
• 5:24
  printer. I'm extremely bullish about what
• 5:27
  I think Bitcoin's going to do in the next 4 years.
• 5:30
  During the Trump administration. We don't the end of Operation
• 5:33
  Choke .2 Point O again. I wouldn't be surprised if we
• 5:37
  saw, you know, 3 to $400,000 Bitcoin the next 2-3 years.
• 5:42
  So, yeah, I mean, that's my take on that.
• 5:44
  I think 10 million is going to take a lot longer than, you
• 5:47
  know, what, what Sailor's saying.
• 5:49
  I mean, to be fair, he's not saying that bitcoin's going to
• 5:51
  hit $10 million tomorrow. He's saying that if people, if
• 5:54
  everyone knew what he knew and they agreed with him, it would
• 5:57
  be already be at 10 million. But he's also making the case
• 5:59
  that that's the opportunity, right?
• 6:02
  That's the opportunity. And I think he was making the
• 6:04
  case for younger people, like if you're in your 20s and 30s and
• 6:07
  you want an edge and you want an opportunity, buy Bitcoin.
• 6:10
  I think that's what he was making the case for.
• 6:13
  But his body language, to me did seem a little bit interesting
• 6:16
  compared to what it was, you know, 4545 weeks ago.
• 6:20
  And I don't blame him. I mean, like, look at the
• 6:22
  volatility. This is crazy.
• 6:24
  Everyone says the huddling is easy.
• 6:27
  Like it's not. And I think if you've been
• 6:30
  huddling this year, you are kind of having an understanding of
• 6:34
  why that is, right? Lots of ups and downs, but yeah,
• 6:38
  you know, they don't call it Huddle for no reason.
• 6:40
  Anyways, I'm going to pass it on to our special guest today,
• 6:43
  founder of BTC Trading Cards. We got Aladdin in the house.
• 6:47
  Aladdin. What are your thoughts, man?
• 6:48
  I mean it, it did sound very culty, right?
• 6:52
  What Sailor was saying, You know, like, look, if you're in
• 6:55
  this certain age group, you know, Bitcoins going to be
• 6:57
  really good for you. You're going to really like it.
• 7:00
  You know, if you're already rich, it's, you know, you're not
• 7:02
  even going to care. So yeah, I mean, what was your
• 7:05
  take on that video? It, it seemed interesting.
• 7:08
  And I got to give it to like the production too 'cause they had
• 7:10
  this kind of like side angle and it was definitely on a Dolly.
• 7:13
  So it was like moving. It was pretty cool.
• 7:15
  I had a dimension to the shot. But I want to get your thoughts
• 7:18
  on this a lot in like, what's going on, man.
• 7:20
  Like I think people were expecting 150K by now man.
• 7:24
  Like this cycle? We were promised 150K.
• 7:28
  This cycle is completely did did you did you guys see the Plan B
• 7:33
  like his predictions? Like there was not that tweet,
• 7:37
  but I didn't look at it. There was so nuts it was like
• 7:39
  it's Bitcoin should be at $1,000,000 by December by now.
• 7:43
  It should have been at like 250 like it was so absurd in my
• 7:47
  opinion. Aladdin, what's your take on
• 7:49
  this man? What's happening?
• 7:51
  How you handling this Bitcoin cycle?
• 7:54
  I'm not going to go I'll call it a bull bull cycle, but how are
• 7:56
  you handling this Bitcoin cycle so far?
• 7:59
  Do you still think we have Omega candles ahead of us?
• 8:03
  Do you think we peaked at 109,000?
• 8:05
  What's your take on sailors? You know on how how sailor
• 8:09
  stance how he's feeling. What's your take Aladdin?
• 8:12
  It's. Probably just indigestion, guys.
• 8:17
  No, I mean, he he's pretty well connected.
• 8:20
  We know this. When they came out and said that
• 8:22
  the, the Trump family's been friends with Michael for a long
• 8:25
  time. I mean that that said a lot
• 8:27
  right there. I mean, all these countries
• 8:30
  there, there's so much going on behind the scenes that we would
• 8:33
  never imagine. I think it is so big of what is
• 8:37
  actually happening behind the scenes.
• 8:39
  It's like the red pill. Once you really start going down
• 8:43
  there, these are things that most people would never, never
• 8:47
  imagined possible. So I think he's pretty calm in
• 8:51
  the end when it comes to like where we're going to go with
• 8:54
  this. I mean, the the US government
• 8:56
  has a strategic Bitcoin reserve. So at this point, if it does dip
• 9:00
  down again, it's just a a buying opportunity for him, for
• 9:04
  everyone, for the big guys. I mean, shit, when you're able
• 9:08
  to borrow money at at nothing. Imagine if we had unlimited
• 9:12
  credit and we were able to borrow like these guys can
• 9:14
  borrow. We'd be begging for the price to
• 9:16
  go down and grab up as much as we can.
• 9:18
  But I mean, with the price standing as strong as it is
• 9:21
  right now, I think that's incredibly bullish.
• 9:25
  I I haven't seen so much FUD in the market since like the end of
• 9:30
  20/17/2018 during that crash and literally like it's all over and
• 9:36
  we are literally just getting started.
• 9:39
  I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is the president we
• 9:42
  have right now is shaking shit up like no other president in
• 9:46
  history. Call it good bad.
• 9:48
  I don't I don't really agree with either side or any of it.
• 9:51
  But the one thing I can say is this president is different than
• 9:55
  any president we've ever had. And I'll say he's different than
• 9:58
  the president we had when he was in office last time.
• 10:01
  He's on a completely different mission.
• 10:04
  So we really have to just hold on to our seats and be prepared
• 10:11
  for some major volatility across the board because he's doing
• 10:14
  shit that I personally never would have imagined.
• 10:18
  I didn't think we were going to get a strategic Bitcoin reserve
• 10:20
  until 20302040, if ever. So this is an incredibly bullish
• 10:26
  situation for us to be in and I think everyone just needs to try
• 10:30
  to hold on. Buy the dip as much as you can.
• 10:32
  I heard a lot of people talking about buying at 100 Ki Can't
• 10:36
  wait to buy at 100K. This happens every single cycle.
• 10:40
  Everyone is super excited to buy all the way up, but as soon as
• 10:45
  it comes back down, everyone's freaking out.
• 10:47
  And I get it, we don't have the gains right now.
• 10:49
  But at the end of the day, most bitcoiners brag about never
• 10:52
  selling their Bitcoin. Michael brags about never
• 10:55
  selling his Bitcoin, so does it really matter at that point?
• 11:00
  That's actually a really perfect segue to this Forbes article
• 11:04
  because some people, it was initially a screenshot that was
• 11:09
  found on on on X and it was making the rounds.
• 11:13
  And essentially I do want to address that today.
• 11:16
  And I did a lot of research in terms of like what price levels
• 11:21
  would MicroStrategy or they renamed strategy, would they be
• 11:25
  in trouble, right? Because at the end of the day,
• 11:27
  like Sailor did borrow money to buy Bitcoin.
• 11:30
  It's kind of like this like leveraged.
• 11:33
  It's this leveraged Bitcoin play.
• 11:34
  Like that's really what it is. It's a Bitcoin holding company,
• 11:37
  but they borrowed money. Even though the rates are
• 11:40
  extremely favorable, we don't get, no one in retail gets that
• 11:44
  type of those types of deals. At the end of the day, they did
• 11:48
  borrow money to buy Bitcoin. So at what price, you know,
• 11:52
  would would Sailor potentially be in trouble?
• 11:53
  I did a lot of research going into this and I'll bring that up
• 11:58
  at the end. So Sailor strategy issues shock
• 12:01
  Bitcoin's sell warning amid devastating $10,000 price crash
• 12:06
  Prediction goes on to say Bitcoin has swung wildly over
• 12:10
  the last week as traders scramble to get ahead of a
• 12:13
  crisis scenario for the Bitcoin price.
• 12:15
  It goes on to say now as Wall Street giants stare down the
• 12:19
  barrel of an existential Bitcoin and crypto game changer, Michael
• 12:23
  Saylor software company turned Bitcoin buyer strategy has
• 12:27
  warned it could be forced to sell some of its Bitcoin to meet
• 12:31
  its financial obligations. I mean, again, is this going to
• 12:34
  happen? You know, no one knows, right?
• 12:37
  Like no one knows where the Bitcoin price is going to go.
• 12:40
  If any if if there's been a single lesson from this cycle,
• 12:43
  it's that no one has any idea what's happening.
• 12:46
  I think I saw American huddle post the other day.
• 12:48
  It's like coming from an OGI have no idea what's going on.
• 12:52
  So definitely uncharted territory and I think that's
• 12:55
  because of just the general macro environment.
• 12:57
  But anyways, the article continues to say this is an
• 12:59
  article from Forbes for the audio listeners.
• 13:01
  As Bitcoin constitutes the vast bulk of assets on our balance
• 13:06
  sheet, if we were unable to secure equity or debt financing
• 13:09
  in a timely manner on favorable terms or at all, we may be
• 13:13
  required to sell Bitcoin to satisfy financial obligations
• 13:17
  and we may be required to make such sales at prices below our
• 13:21
  cost basis that are otherwise unfavorable.
• 13:24
  I mean, I think that's legalese. I think they're forced to do
• 13:27
  that. I think their lawyers are like,
• 13:29
  look, guys, you have to put the you have to put in the fine
• 13:31
  print, but we're going to get into what those price levels are
• 13:35
  would be. So anyway, strategy said it's
• 13:38
  expecting to record a near $6 billion unrealized lost for the
• 13:42
  first quarter despite a related 1.69 billion income tax benefit
• 13:48
  warned and warned it might not be able to regain profitability
• 13:52
  in future quarters, especially if the value of its Bitcoin
• 13:55
  continues to plummet. Quote a significant decrease in
• 13:58
  the market value of our Bitcoin holdings could adversarially
• 14:01
  affect our ability to satisfy our financial obligations.
• 14:05
  And this was what what I was mentioning earlier on a Strategy
• 14:08
  stock price has almost have since soaring to its November
• 14:12
  peak that saw it inducted into the prestigious NASDAQ 100
• 14:16
  index. Strategy, which currently owns
• 14:18
  almost 530,000 Bitcoin worth nearly $42 billion that were
• 14:24
  bought for an average of $67,000 per coin, has fueled its Bitcoin
• 14:28
  buys by selling convertible bonds and issuing stock.
• 14:32
  At the end of March, Strategy held around $8 billion worth of
• 14:35
  debt on which it owes about $35 million per year in interest on
• 14:39
  top of almost 150 million it must pay every year in dividends
• 14:44
  on its stock. Meanwhile, crypto analysts are
• 14:47
  desperately trying to predict where the market is headed next,
• 14:50
  with one closely watched analyst issuing a Bitcoin price
• 14:54
  prediction that could see Bitcoin crash back to around
• 14:57
  $10,000. I highly doubt that, but who did
• 15:01
  it come from? I came everyone's.
• 15:04
  Everyone's in for the long run, as long as it's going up,
• 15:07
  Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike
• 15:11
  Mcglone wrote in a report posted to XI.
• 15:15
  Did not know how Bitcoin was going to get to 100,000 from
• 15:18
  10,000 in 2020, but the trend showed up.
• 15:21
  Now I see the reversal, the version path back to 10,000.
• 15:25
  I personally think like that. Again, no one knows, but I just
• 15:31
  it I highly doubt bitcoins going back to 10,000 and if it does
• 15:35
  like Oh my God, we're going to have to re change the the
• 15:38
  channel name Opti to simply Fiat bro, we just simply 10K simply
• 15:43
  10K anyhow, so let's get to some of this.
• 15:48
  And this is like a summary of where those price points would
• 15:52
  be. So in summary, Micro Strategy
• 15:54
  has no imminent margin call level, but the company is highly
• 15:59
  leveraged to Bitcoin's price. If Bitcoin stays strong or
• 16:01
  continues rising, the strategy can thrive.
• 16:04
  If Bitcoin plunges far below the company's average cost,
• 16:08
  MicroStrategy could face mounting financial stress,
• 16:11
  increasing risk of shareholder dilution.
• 16:14
  Investors and analysts closely watch certain price benchmarks.
• 16:17
  For example, mid 60K Bitcoin is roughly the break even for newer
• 16:22
  purchases and was a support level for Microstrategy's recent
• 16:26
  financial financing assumption. While 30K BTC would start to
• 16:30
  significantly cut into the firms equity cushion, anything near
• 16:35
  15K or below could be dire. Interesting, very interesting.
• 16:41
  Now we don't know what the future holds.
• 16:44
  Everyone was talking about this supposed Black Monday that was
• 16:48
  imminent, that it was coming. It never came.
• 16:51
  So like no one knows what's going on right now.
• 16:54
  This tariff stuff, the uncertainty in the markets, it's
• 16:57
  crazy. A lot of people were expecting
• 16:59
  Bitcoin to follow previous cycles like it always does, but
• 17:03
  it didn't. It never did any of those
• 17:04
  things. So I'm going to pass it on to
• 17:06
  Opti. Opti, what's your take on this
• 17:08
  bro? I mean, is it a possibility?
• 17:10
  Yes. Do I see it happening?
• 17:13
  I don't think so. But in Bitcoin, anything could
• 17:15
  happen. Opti, what's your take?
• 17:17
  Yeah, I mean, 10K is just crazy talk, like it's never going to
• 17:21
  10K again. Yeah, I think we can safely say
• 17:23
  that that is the case. Even if there was some kind of,
• 17:26
  you know, 2020 light crash, 10K is never going to happen.
• 17:29
  It didn't even do that the last time it crashed, So it's not
• 17:31
  going to do that this time. Like that is a ridiculous, you
• 17:35
  know, FUD prediction here. But, and someone just said now
• 17:38
  we're talking about body language.
• 17:40
  I think sailor's just still feeling what we're all feeling
• 17:42
  right now. You know, Nico, Nico said that
• 17:44
  to me last night. It's like the last four years.
• 17:46
  Of course we're we're talking about Nico Schiff here, you
• 17:49
  know, cherry picking price predictions and and.
• 17:52
  You know me hold on, I'm going to interrupt you first time.
• 17:54
  It's not first of all, smash the like button.
• 17:56
  By the way, there's we just broke 600 live viewers on
• 17:59
  YouTube. If you guys are enjoying today's
• 18:01
  content, smash that like button help us break 100 likes within
• 18:05
  the 1st 25 minutes of the show. Smash That like button really,
• 18:08
  really helps with the algos. OK, so no, So what I said was
• 18:12
  this, it was very precise and I want to get Aladdin's thoughts
• 18:14
  on this. OK, So what I said was this, if
• 18:18
  you go back to exactly April 8th of 2021, four years ago, the
• 18:24
  price has only gone up 40%. If you go back five years ago,
• 18:29
  the price has gone up 1000%, right?
• 18:32
  So a year can make a big difference.
• 18:34
  But I think what we're all feeling like as this collective
• 18:37
  mindset of Bitcoin X's collective consciousness is
• 18:42
  we're feeling that 40% like we're like, yo what like?
• 18:46
  What the fuck? What is?
• 18:47
  Going on like I I want my dose, I want my dopamine hit like what
• 18:51
  is happening? What is going on here?
• 18:54
  That's what I mean that's what I think is happening.
• 18:56
  Anyways Aladdin, I would love to get your take on this bro.
• 18:58
  What are your thoughts? I'm, maybe I'm more red pilled
• 19:02
  than most. I, I spent the last nine years
• 19:06
  studying as much as I could across every sector.
• 19:11
  And I've, I've went down some pretty deep rabbit holes.
• 19:14
  At the end of the day, again, these guys have their strategy.
• 19:17
  Michael Saylor has a strategy. The guy is for whatever he is as
• 19:21
  a person. Most of it we don't know, but I
• 19:23
  do know that guy is beyond intelligent and he's got a
• 19:28
  strategy. BlackRock has a strategy.
• 19:31
  The they're all working together in one way or another.
• 19:34
  And this is not a surprise to any of them in my opinion.
• 19:38
  I mean, obviously I could be wrong, what do I know?
• 19:41
  But from what I've studied, it goes deeper than most of us
• 19:45
  could fathom again, and I don't think 10 grand is ever in play
• 19:50
  again. We have the, the, the Trump's
• 19:53
  cabinet is fully on board with Bitcoin.
• 19:56
  There's just so many amazing things that are happening with
• 20:00
  Bitcoin right now over the last few months.
• 20:02
  Again, things that I wouldn't have imagined for another 1020
• 20:05
  years that are all in play. And with the banks now having
• 20:09
  the opportunity to jump in full bore all these things, I mean,
• 20:13
  they're just throwing fuds so that they could buy the living
• 20:15
  shit out of Bitcoin as cheap as possible, run as many of us out
• 20:19
  as possible and buy the. Dip I think we all have to be
• 20:24
  really careful to just check all the reasons we've been in
• 20:28
  Bitcoin this whole time. And the biggest thing I think
• 20:31
  that the the elite oligarchies, whatever we want to call these
• 20:34
  people, they understand is it's more than number go up of the
• 20:38
  majority of us people that are in Bitcoin, we're in Bitcoin
• 20:41
  because it's freedom money. And the last thing that they
• 20:43
  want is a bunch of freedom minded people to be insanely
• 20:47
  rich because we will have the opportunity to have our own
• 20:53
  lobbyists and play the game back.
• 20:55
  So I I think this whole entire thing goes a lot deeper than
• 20:58
  most people can imagine and we just need to try and ignore the
• 21:02
  FUD as much as possible by the dip and keep stacking.
• 21:07
  I think I think absolute bars from a lot and I completely
• 21:11
  agree. And I think this cycle too, I
• 21:13
  think a lot of people essentially have forgotten why
• 21:17
  we're here, right? They see the ETFs like I
• 21:19
  remember it was like a very predominant, you know, followed
• 21:23
  account on X and he was basically something along the
• 21:25
  lines of like, hey guys, you know, I've just gone ahead and
• 21:30
  I've just converted all my Bitcoin to ETFs, right?
• 21:32
  Like the core mission here is fix the money, fix the world,
• 21:37
  right? And the the power of Bitcoin is
• 21:39
  individuals reclaiming back their financial sovereignty and
• 21:42
  their power and their independence and their
• 21:45
  individualism by taking back control of their money and
• 21:48
  putting it in self custody. That completely changes the
• 21:52
  discussions of the the balance of power discussion.
• 21:55
  It's like, you know, it goes, the Second Amendment is very
• 21:58
  similar in the US, right? Like the Second Amendment I like
• 22:01
  acts as kind of like a check. That was the whole point of why
• 22:04
  the founders put it in the Constitution and they made it
• 22:06
  the Second Amendment, not the 5th or the 6th, right.
• 22:10
  Bitcoin can function as a check to essentially governments going
• 22:14
  absolutely wild with the money printer.
• 22:17
  That's really how I see Bitcoin. But again, if you're dealing
• 22:23
  within the traditional financial system or if you're buying, you
• 22:27
  know, if you're not buying spot Bitcoin, like, you know, OK, you
• 22:31
  know, you could do whatever you want with your money.
• 22:33
  But like, I think it's really important to remember the core
• 22:36
  mission here, which is what Aladdin was talking about.
• 22:38
  Anyways, Opti, do you have any, some some thoughts?
• 22:41
  We're about to break 2000 live viewers on the live stream.
• 22:44
  Appreciate you guys watching the show, supporting the show.
• 22:46
  If you guys are enjoying the show so far again help us break
• 22:49
  200 likes within the 1st 30 minutes of the show.
• 22:52
  Smash that like button and we already blew past 600 live
• 22:55
  viewers on YouTube alone. The Opti.
• 22:57
  What are your thoughts brother? Yeah, I mean, I totally agree
• 23:00
  with what Aladdin was saying. And I also I think to kind of
• 23:04
  drive the point home of what you were saying earlier of of even
• 23:07
  the bit corners we're we're starting to feel like man, we're
• 23:10
  getting worn out, right. And this is usually the time
• 23:13
  when or at least when that feeling comes around in in like
• 23:16
  market psychology, this is usually when Bitcoin starts
• 23:18
  ripping. So the fact that a lot of us
• 23:20
  Bitcoiners are just, like, worn out, we're like, yeah, we're
• 23:22
  literally the meme right now, like, you know, worn out, just
• 23:25
  torn up, you know, black bags under our eyes.
• 23:28
  We're just like, please, Sir, pump our bags here.
• 23:32
  And this just makes me feel that this is when the price is going
• 23:35
  to start ripping. Probably.
• 23:37
  It's going to go sideways for a little bit.
• 23:38
  And then it's just going to, you know, like, it's going to be Max
• 23:41
  Payne, as we always say on Twitter.
• 23:43
  And a lot of Bitcoiners say it's like, Bitcoin always does the
• 23:45
  opposite of what we think it's going to do.
• 23:47
  And then it always goes the path of Max Payne and right now, now
• 23:51
  I think we we could argue that just Bitcoin going sideways or
• 23:55
  kind of chip solidation again is Max Payne considering this does
• 23:59
  feel like the most bullish cycle in regards to news coming out,
• 24:02
  like really bullish good news coming out in regards to
• 24:05
  adoption levels and and Bitcoin going into different areas.
• 24:09
  And like we go into places that we probably couldn't imagine
• 24:12
  happening two years ago, five years ago, 6-7, ten years ago.
• 24:17
  And yet we're still here and we're like, what is going on?
• 24:19
  And so this does feel like the scenario of Max Payne right now.
• 24:23
  And the more bitcoiners start yelling at each other and
• 24:26
  fighting each other on Twitter and the more we start
• 24:28
  complaining about Bitcoin price, the more I know that at some
• 24:32
  point soon this price is going to RIP and then everyone's going
• 24:35
  to go back to like kumbaya and just having fun.
• 24:37
  So this just seems like Max Payne scenario right now, but
• 24:41
  but in regards to that, this is also the best buying opportunity
• 24:44
  period like it's the least risky time to buy Bitcoin chaps sats
• 24:48
  are cheap right now and we have a lot of bullish news coming out
• 24:52
  towards Bitcoin. So like this should not be the
• 24:55
  time to be afraid of buying Bitcoin like yes, we all know
• 24:59
  how the cycles work out like with number go up means more
• 25:02
  adoption levels and more people come into Bitcoin with number go
• 25:05
  up means that freedom goes up as well.
• 25:07
  But right now is like people are asleep at the wheel.
• 25:10
  So if you have cash right now, if you have a a job, at the very
• 25:15
  least a job right now and can save in Bitcoin, this is when
• 25:20
  you should be buying. As the saying always goes, when
• 25:22
  there's blood on the streets, this is when you buy Bitcoin.
• 25:25
  And the fact that we're all kind of feeling the pain, like the
• 25:28
  fact that even Sailor seems to be kind of feeling the pain like
• 25:30
  he's the richest guy ever. He's about to be like the first
• 25:33
  trillionaire on planet Earth. And you can tell that he's even
• 25:36
  starting to feel frustrated and annoyed about what's going on in
• 25:39
  the Bitcoin price and the Bitcoin field in general.
• 25:41
  I think that signal to just continue to double down and it's
• 25:45
  going to start ripping. Do we know when?
• 25:47
  No, obviously maybe it's much from maybe it's going to be a
• 25:50
  slow summer like the 2017 cycle, slow summer and then it rips
• 25:54
  towards the end of the year. But I think the fact we're all
• 25:57
  kind of feeling a same feeling, even though we're trying to have
• 25:59
  fun and you know, look at all the uncertainty.
• 26:02
  This is just bullish, man. Like if if we're complaining
• 26:05
  about an 80 K Bitcoin price like we've made it man.
• 26:11
  Absolutely. Guys, this is going to be a hell
• 26:12
  of a show. We got a lot of things lined up
• 26:14
  for you guys. First, we're going to be
• 26:16
  covering a thread by Jack Mahler's kind of explaining
• 26:19
  what's happening. Just like what is happening.
• 26:22
  What like you're, you're hearing this talk about tariffs.
• 26:25
  The global markets are like falling off the Cliff.
• 26:27
  If you see the S&P chart, it is literally falling off a Cliff.
• 26:30
  It is gnarly, right? So he kind of does a breakdown
• 26:33
  of why this is happening, how Trump fits into the picture.
• 26:37
  You know, the whole promise was you guys are going to get tired
• 26:39
  of winning. The whole promise was, you know,
• 26:42
  bitcoins going to the moon. Those things haven't happened
• 26:45
  yet, right? So it's like, how did Trump rug
• 26:47
  us? No, this is all part of the
• 26:49
  plan, right? And if you've been listening to
• 26:51
  what the Treasury Secretary has been saying, Treasury Secretary
• 26:54
  Bessette, he did an incredible interview with Tucker Carlson.
• 26:57
  Highly recommend watching it does the breakdown.
• 27:00
  But this was the Trump. This was the promise to Trump's
• 27:02
  base, right? Trump's base are the middle
• 27:06
  class, the working class. And they've gotten they, they've
• 27:10
  gotten the short end of the sick in the last 30-40 years, right?
• 27:14
  This is what the whole, you know, MAGA movement is all
• 27:16
  about. And again, don't want to get
• 27:18
  political, but this is what Trump promised he was going to
• 27:21
  do, right? And this is all part of the,
• 27:23
  the, the tariff policy. But anyways, how it relates to
• 27:26
  Bitcoin, though, is that for Trump to fulfill his agenda,
• 27:30
  he's. Going to need the money printer.
• 27:32
  Right. And a lot of people are
• 27:35
  speculating that he that he purposely crashed the market in
• 27:38
  order to force Powell's hand, right.
• 27:41
  So anyways, I think the printer, the printer is coming.
• 27:45
  Laura Laparde just wrote a book called The Big Print.
• 27:47
  I think it's inevitable. And again, when they start
• 27:50
  printing money, Bitcoin tends to go number go up Infinity divided
• 27:54
  by 21 million. Anyways, guys, so we're going to
• 27:56
  talk about that. And then during the new segment,
• 27:59
  we got some great news. the US Justice Department ends crypto
• 28:03
  enforcement unit again, elections have consequences.
• 28:06
  And then during the culture, we're going to talk to our
• 28:08
  friend Aladdin of BTC trading cards.
• 28:11
  They just dropped a new series. We're going to be talking about
• 28:14
  it. You might be doing a live card
• 28:16
  opening on stream. It's going to be a great show,
• 28:19
  so stay tuned. We're going to be right back.
• 28:21

  At the time of recording the Bitcoin price is $77,210.
• 32:32
  Block height 891,525 sats per dollar 1294 market cap 1.53
• 32:40
  trillion Bitcoin versus gold market cap 7.27% Percentage
• 32:44
  issued 94.51% decline from all time high -29.2% Realized
• 32:51
  monetary inflation .87%. In the grand scheme of things,
• 32:56
  this this just continues to go down.
• 32:58
  Even if Fiat money could get even if the Fed, I think that
• 33:01
  the inflation rate is like below 2% anyways.
• 33:04
  Even if they get it back to that magical 2% number, it's still
• 33:08
  it's at point 8.87%. And that number when me and Opti
• 33:12
  started covering that right? It seems like the most
• 33:15
  inconsequential number on Clark Mooney's dashboard.
• 33:18
  But when me and Opti started covering bitcoins realized
• 33:20
  monetary inflation over the last 365 days, it was over 3% when me
• 33:26
  and Opti started covering that, right?
• 33:28
  So, and this is going to go down forever, right?
• 33:30
  Anyways, so here's Jack Mahler's I, I did see his podcast
• 33:35
  yesterday. I forget what the name of his
• 33:36
  podcast is, and it was just kind of covering what was happening
• 33:40
  and, you know, why the Bitcoin price is reacting the way it is,
• 33:43
  what's going on with the general kind of macroeconomic landscape
• 33:46
  and how is Bitcoin going to perform in this environment?
• 33:48
  Jack Mueller's did, he covered it on his podcast and if this is
• 33:52
  like a threaded version of what he said, but I think it's a very
• 33:55
  kind of great summary. So he starts off with saying we
• 33:58
  are witnessing the unwind of the World War 2 economic order.
• 34:02
  What's happening now is much bigger than tariffs.
• 34:05
  For nearly 80 years, the US exported dollars while importing
• 34:10
  goods and debt. That system is failing.
• 34:13
  What's next? A move back to a neutral reserve
• 34:16
  currency? Got Bitcoin after World War 2,
• 34:19
  the world was decimated. The US are the only industrial
• 34:22
  power left standing. Europe in Japan were in ruins.
• 34:25
  The world needed to be rebuilt and the US took the lead.
• 34:28
  How? the US funded global
• 34:30
  reconstruction with efforts like the Marshall Plan and Bretton
• 34:33
  Woods. The idea was simple. the US
• 34:36
  would buy foreign goods, run trade deficits, spend dollars
• 34:39
  abroad, and let other countries produce stuff in return.
• 34:43
  Other countries would use the dollar as a global reserve
• 34:45
  currency, accumulating U.S. dollar as the US debt as their
• 34:49
  savings. In essence, the world gets
• 34:52
  dollars, the US gets goods. The system did what it was
• 34:55
  supposed to do and fields decades of growth.
• 34:58
  Japan, Germany, South Korea, and eventually China all
• 35:02
  industrialized by producing goods for Americans. the US kept
• 35:06
  printing dollars and the world kept accepting them because they
• 35:09
  sort of had no other choice. The issue was that this wasn't
• 35:13
  sustainable. Printing pieces of paper and not
• 35:16
  doing any real work couldn't last forever.
• 35:18
  No way. Who would have thought the US
• 35:20
  was sending dollars out while manufacturing left the country?
• 35:24
  Over time, the US became a customer and not a producer.
• 35:28
  In summary, the problem is the US can't run permanent trade
• 35:32
  deficits forever. the US deindustrialized itself.
• 35:36
  Manufacturing jobs gone, middle class crushed.
• 35:40
  Meanwhile, China rose by taking over global production.
• 35:43
  All the while the US racked up $35 trillion in debt and other
• 35:48
  nations began to question the system.
• 35:50
  Why hold U.S. debt as reserves while USD loses value?
• 35:54
  This is where the triff and dilemma comes in.
• 35:57
  If the US dollar is the global reserve, the US must run
• 36:00
  deficits to supply the world with dollars.
• 36:03
  But doing this hollows out the domestic economy, forcing the US
• 36:07
  to import more than exports. The global demand for dollars
• 36:11
  keeps the dollar artificially strong, making US goods less
• 36:14
  competitive and pushing manufacturers overseas.
• 36:17
  It's a trap and it's and finally it is failing.
• 36:21
  This is why the US needs to reshore production and weaken
• 36:24
  the dollar. If the US wants to bring back
• 36:27
  manufacturing, it needs to make American production competitive
• 36:31
  again. And that means two things #1
• 36:34
  tariffs force companies to stop offshoring production #2A
• 36:38
  weakened dollar make US exports cheaper and more attractive.
• 36:42
  This is exactly what Trump and this new administration is
• 36:45
  pushing for. You see, tariffs are not just
• 36:47
  about trade. They're part of a larger
• 36:49
  strategy to shift the US economic model.
• 36:52
  A weaker dollar makes US exports or it's more competitive and
• 36:55
  also helps inflate away its debt.
• 36:57
  However, one problem Trump has run into is your own Powell. the
• 37:01
  US government doesn't control the US dollar.
• 37:03
  A private bank does. the Fed isn't cutting rates fast enough
• 37:07
  for Trump to keep his campaign promises and execute his plans.
• 37:11
  This is where Trump's battle with the Fed begins.
• 37:13
  This is something that we've been discussing over the last
• 37:16
  couple of weeks. Anyways, the thread it goes on,
• 37:19
  but I do want to eventually talk about Bitcoin because this is
• 37:23
  this is This is why you guys are turning into simply Bitcoin
• 37:26
  anyways, at the same time, it's no secret that the rest of the
• 37:29
  world is moving away from dollar.
• 37:31
  China, Russia, even Saudi Arabia no longer want to rely on USD
• 37:35
  for trade. The BRICS nations are exploring
• 37:38
  alternatives. Countries are selling U.S.
• 37:40
  Treasuries and reducing their dollar reserves.
• 37:42
  This means we're heading back to a neutral reserve currency
• 37:46
  system one way or the other. And then Jack theorizes that
• 37:50
  that neutral reserve system is is going to be based on Bitcoin.
• 37:54
  Historically, global reserve currencies were neutral assets
• 37:57
  like gold under the Bretton Woods system.
• 37:59
  The problem in today's digital economy of 8 billion people,
• 38:03
  gold requires trust to work. Gold cannot achieve transaction
• 38:07
  finality without a trusted intermediary.
• 38:09
  For that reason, it has centralized and is easily
• 38:12
  manipulated. Zoom out.
• 38:14
  We're watching the global monetary order reset in real
• 38:17
  time. The World War 2 economic models
• 38:20
  breaking down. the US is reshoring and weakening the
• 38:22
  dollar. The world is de dollarizing. the
• 38:25
  Fed will be forced to cut rates money per to go Burr. the US
• 38:29
  will inflate away its debt. Bitcoin is a Bitcoin is will
• 38:33
  absorb the shift. This isn't just another trade
• 38:37
  war. It's a global monetary
• 38:39
  alignment. Got Bitcoin.
• 38:41
  That's an incredibly awesome summary by Jack Mahlers.
• 38:47
  Again, he covered this on his show yesterday.
• 38:49
  That was a written summary of just that incredible breakdown.
• 38:53
  100% agree with him. This is we're we're witnessing
• 38:57
  history in the making. And again, think about the
• 38:59
  series of events that led up to this crazy election.
• 39:03
  Think about where Bitcoin played a role, right?
• 39:05
  This was nuts. This is the first election where
• 39:08
  Bitcoiners actively played a role in the political process.
• 39:12
  Trump capitalized on the capitalized on the the fact that
• 39:16
  the opposing party was hostile towards the industry.
• 39:19
  He saw an opportunity to get voters and he promised the
• 39:23
  Bitcoin industry that he would end operation choke .2 point O
• 39:27
  and free Ross Albrecht I think we got more than what we
• 39:30
  expected as what Aladdin was talking about earlier on in the
• 39:34
  episode. We I was personally not
• 39:36
  expecting a strategic Bitcoin reserve in January.
• 39:38
  They were talking about a digital assets reserve right and
• 39:41
  then all of a sudden he comes swinging it's like the the
• 39:44
  digital assets will be siloed and a Bitcoin reserve will be a
• 39:49
  Bitcoin reserve and Ross was freed and they repealed SAB 121
• 39:54
  and you know they ended operation choke .2 point O and
• 39:57
  all of this amazing bullish news.
• 39:59
  We did our part as bitcoiners. We got the orange man elected
• 40:03
  and you know what we got in return?
• 40:05
  The price has just completely fucking dumped since
• 40:08
  inauguration day. Excuse my language.
• 40:10
  So like, yeah, it's. Kind of like an upside down
• 40:13
  world, but I think there's light at the end of the tunnel.
• 40:16
  I think that once we get over this rough patch, once this
• 40:20
  realignment kind of, you know, becomes more certain, I think
• 40:24
  the price is going to pump like there's no tomorrow.
• 40:27
  Because as Jack was alluding to, the feds not going to have a
• 40:31
  choice but make money printer go Burr.
• 40:34
  They're not going to have a choice anyways.
• 40:36
  Aladdin, I know I've been rambling for a while.
• 40:38
  What are your thoughts on Mahler's excellent thread?
• 40:43
  I mean, yeah, if, if, if this really happens, if we go into
• 40:48
  what what he's thrown out there, which I think we have major
• 40:51
  potential to do. I mean it, it's the perfect set
• 40:54
  up right now to FUD as many people out of their Bitcoin as
• 40:58
  possible, get as many people to sell as they can back to the the
• 41:02
  Sailor. If some FUD comes out on Sailor,
• 41:05
  he is a perfect catalyst. I, I, I have seen the change in
• 41:09
  the Bitcoin community over the last few years the, the Bitcoin
• 41:12
  Twitter space in general that I really didn't expect because we
• 41:16
  were such a powerhouse in like 2022 coming into that bear
• 41:22
  market and it was all the right ethos.
• 41:25
  It's don't trust verify. Bitcoin doesn't give a shit.
• 41:30
  It's the honey badger. And then we started really kind
• 41:33
  of giving our faith towards individuals and certain people.
• 41:39
  Bitcoin also teaches you to slay your heroes.
• 41:42
  And here we are over the last few years building heroes in the
• 41:46
  space. So we're really going the
• 41:49
  opposite direction now of how we were going.
• 41:52
  And what I see like with what Jack was talking about, if this
• 41:56
  comes true, then what I personally, my, my prediction of
• 42:01
  what I see coming is trying to shake out as many people as
• 42:05
  possible, throw the fat, the, the, the FUD out there, knock
• 42:08
  out as many Bitcoiners as possible.
• 42:10
  And then Samson Mao's whole idea comes true.
• 42:14
  And we've got a card on that. It's the Omega candle.
• 42:17
  And if Bitcoin does some crazy parabolic pump, the unit bias,
• 42:23
  even to hardcore Bitcoiners that have been around, that unit bias
• 42:27
  is going to blow them out of the water.
• 42:30
  And we'll have some really big hodlers and we'll have a nice
• 42:34
  small community of Bitcoiners that win massively.
• 42:37
  And the majority of people with Bitcoin sitting at three,
• 42:41
  $400,000. And it happens anytime soon with
• 42:44
  an Omega candle. Most people are done at that
• 42:47
  point. They're not going to be dollar
• 42:48
  cost averaging. Even some of the strongest and
• 42:51
  most bullheaded bitcoiners are going to be like, I missed the
• 42:54
  boat. I'm I'm not buying anymore.
• 42:55
  It's 400, five, $100,000 general public.
• 42:59
  I think there's a big disconnect and in our space and our bubble
• 43:04
  to the general public and when we deal with them every day,
• 43:08
  most people have no clue what Bitcoin is and the unit bias is
• 43:12
  huge. We needed to be pricing Bitcoin
• 43:16
  in SAT's to the general public way earlier on.
• 43:20
  Bitcoin hits three, $400,000. The majority of the world is
• 43:24
  that isn't already in. Bitcoin is definitely not going
• 43:26
  to jump in at that point. The banks are going to win, the
• 43:29
  government's going to win, The people that are holding on to
• 43:32
  Bitcoin are going to win and everyone else, sadly, they're
• 43:35
  not going to have a ticket on the life raft.
• 43:37
  And this is what I've been preaching for years.
• 43:39
  Get your ticket on the life raft before it takes off.
• 43:42
  Every dip is a buying opportunity.
• 43:44
  Every dip is a blessing. So I hope what Jack is talking
• 43:48
  about comes true. But honestly, I, I would
• 43:52
  personally hope that we would have more time.
• 43:54
  I don't want to see it take off this fast because I don't think
• 43:57
  there are many people that have a ticket on the life raft and
• 44:01
  it's going to be sad. So I maybe not a popular opinion
• 44:04
  that I, I want there to be more time for people to get in.
• 44:08
  And I, even though I would love to make some gains for sure, the
• 44:13
  biggest gain that we're going to get is having as many of the
• 44:16
  everyday people, mom and pops, mom and dads, grandmas, kids
• 44:21
  have the opportunity to stack. And my fear is if we do this
• 44:26
  parabolic Omega candle, most people are not going to stack.
• 44:31
  Then they're going to shit coins.
• 44:32
  They're going to the next best thing in their mind.
• 44:34
  And that'll be a sad day. So bittersweet kind of situation
• 44:39
  in my opinion. Absolutely like 100% agree with
• 44:43
  Aladdin, guys, you're listening to simply Bitcoin live 682 live
• 44:47

• 45:12
  Anyways, Opti, what's your opinion on this bro?
• 45:15
  2 minute hit and then we'll move on to the new segment.
• 45:17
  We are running a little bit long.
• 45:18
  What did you think about Jack Muellers epic thread regarding
• 45:23
  the change of the global economic order?
• 45:26
  Yeah, Well, first of all, I'm, I am like Molder right now from
• 45:30
  X-Files. I, I really want to believe that
• 45:33
  this is the case. And Jack Muller isn't the only
• 45:35
  one that's been saying, you guys know, I love watching Nolan
• 45:38
  every morning and he's been saying the same thing for a long
• 45:40
  time, that what we're seeing is the realignment of, of economics
• 45:44
  globally or monetary realignment and the end of the World War 2
• 45:49
  war machine. And it does seem like this is
• 45:52
  the scenario. I, I hate to be a like trust a
• 45:54
  plan 5D chess kind of guy, but it does seem like this is the
• 45:57
  case going on right now. And if this is the case, then I
• 46:02
  think we will be going into a bright orange future.
• 46:04
  But as Aladdin said, in the time being, a lot of people are going
• 46:09
  to get hurt. And we all know what's going to
• 46:11
  happen eventually. As Larry La Parte's been saying,
• 46:14
  the big print is going to happen.
• 46:15
  And yes, on a long enough time frame that will restructure
• 46:19
  society and things will most likely get better.
• 46:22
  But in the short term, a lot of people are going to get hurt.
• 46:24
  And This is why we constantly come out here and say this is
• 46:28
  your opportunity to get on the safety boat, you know, get on
• 46:31
  the exit boat here, which is Bitcoin, because we're seeing a
• 46:34
  lot of these things play out. If you are looking at all the
• 46:37
  data, it does seem as as if this is the direction we're going.
• 46:41
  We're seeing a monetary reset because the US, at least this
• 46:44
  administration is at the very least acknowledging that the
• 46:47
  triflin dilemma is a thing they have to contest with.
• 46:50
  And I think Scott Besson is a very smart dude.
• 46:52
  And I think these are the conversations that they are
• 46:55
  having because it does seem as if this is the course we're
• 46:58
  going on. But as we're seeing with a lot
• 47:00
  of people right now, stock markets are getting wrecked.
• 47:02
  You know, Nasdaq's getting wrecked, S&P 500 are getting
• 47:05
  wrecked. It seems like a lot of older
• 47:07
  people's the Gen. which one the boomers here.
• 47:11
  Sorry, I'm I'm mixing up my age class here.
• 47:13
  They are complaining about their retirement and it does seem as
• 47:19
  if this monetary reset does happen.
• 47:21
  A lot of people that thought and base their their hopes and their
• 47:24
  retirement on the system working as it is, are going to be
• 47:28
  absolutely devastated. And this is something that we
• 47:31
  don't want to see. This is kind of why I think
• 47:33
  Aladdin and and I agree on I would like to see a slower
• 47:36
  progression of the Bitcoin price going up because if Bitcoin
• 47:40
  pumps in at an incredible, I forget what the candles are now
• 47:43
  God candle or a mega candle, 100K plus type candles.
• 47:48
  That usually or well, at least in my opinion, mean that
• 47:52
  something is fundamentally broken in the system.
• 47:54
  And I don't think we've gotten to a point yet where people can
• 47:57
  fully comprehend what is going on.
• 48:00
  And that just means a lot of poor and destitute people that
• 48:03
  that basically base their whole, you know, 4050, sixty years of
• 48:08
  life on the system working as it is.
• 48:11
  And us millennials and Gen. Zers, especially as millennials,
• 48:16
  we've gone through, I think what, what now, like our 4th,
• 48:19
  you know, economic opportunity of a lifetime or devastation of
• 48:23
  a lifetime. And I, I saw a funny meme and I,
• 48:26
  I don't know what happened to Nico.
• 48:27
  He soon to popped off. It was the, the Ben Affleck
• 48:29
  smoking a cigarette. And it's like millennials
• 48:31
  preparing for their next their next economic devastation.
• 48:36
  And we're just sitting here. This is just how we grew up.
• 48:40
  Every every defining moment in my adult life has been marked by
• 48:44
  something insane happening, and it seems as if we're gearing
• 48:48
  into another one. So I really do hope we are going
• 48:51
  towards this monetary reset. I, I think only time will tell
• 48:55
  whether this is the case or whether these mechanisms are in
• 48:58
  fact working as we're seeing. It doesn't seem as if the Fed or
• 49:03
  even what Trump and Besson are doing has the effect they wanted
• 49:06
  to. So maybe the money printer is
• 49:08
  going to get turned on a lot faster than we think it will and
• 49:12
  it's going to leave a trail of devastation.
• 49:14
  So I just hope a lot of people are starting to, to at least
• 49:17
  learn that there is something else and they need to hold
• 49:19
  Bitcoin because it's going to get bad.
• 49:21
  And I don't want to live in a Mad Max society.
• 49:23
  I, I like living in, you know, the status quo type societies we
• 49:28
  live in slow progressing towards something better.
• 49:32
  But who knows where we go? Who knows if they can keep the
• 49:34
  system going? Yeah, 100%.
• 49:37
  Sorry guys, I dropped out. I'm in Puerto Rico right now and
• 49:40
  get your. Mic you need.
• 49:41
  You need to check your mic again.
• 49:44
  It should be working. Should be good.
• 49:46
  Oh yeah. You're in, you're in.
• 49:46
  You're in. You're in.
• 49:48
  Yeah, sorry I dropped out, guys. I'm Puerto Rico powers kind of.
• 49:52
  Anyways, guys, that'll be a great show.
• 49:53
  Smash that like button. We still have loads to talk
• 49:56
  about. We're going to be talking.
• 49:57
  We're going to be transitioning to the news segment.
• 50:00
  We're going to be talking about the US Justice Department ends
• 50:04
  crypto enforcement unit Elections have consequences.
• 50:08
  I've kept telling you guys this stuff so many times during
• 50:10
  election season. All you guys are giving me crap
• 50:14
  and I was like, look, guys, it's not about red versus blue.
• 50:16
  It's not about left versus right.
• 50:17
  It's not about liberal versus conservative.
• 50:19
  It's literally about are you pro Bitcoin or Yancy Bitcoin, right
• 50:23
  and a single issue voters here, it's simply Bitcoin.
• 50:25
  That's really what mattered to us because our industry was
• 50:28
  literally getting under attack last year.
• 50:30
  There were points on the stream where me and Opti were seriously
• 50:33
  discussing moving to El Salvador.
• 50:36
  It was like that. I actually mentioned this to
• 50:37
  Senator, Senator Lummus when I was when I interviewed her in in
• 50:42
  DC. Like things are getting hairy,
• 50:44
  right? And then all the things that
• 50:46
  were uncovered after the fact, like it, it, it was getting
• 50:49
  wild. Anyways, guys, smash the like
• 50:51
  button. We're going to be right back.
• 50:53
  We're going to hit the the new segment.
• 50:55
  And yeah, it's going to be a great show.

  Let's check out this article by no BS Bitcoin.
• 54:19
  US Justice Department and Crypto Enforcement Unit marking
• 54:23
  significant policy shift On Monday, the US Department of
• 54:27
  Justice informed staff that it disbanded the National
• 54:31
  Cryptocurrency Enforcement Unit, A division focused on crypto
• 54:35
  related investigations and a four page memo.
• 54:38
  US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that this
• 54:43
  decision is effective immediately and aligns with
• 54:46
  Trump's January executive order on digital assets to establish
• 54:50
  regulatory clarity. The Justice Department is not a
• 54:54
  digital assets regulator. However, the prior
• 54:57
  administration uses Justice Department to pursue a reckless
• 55:01
  strategy of regulation by persecution and remember what
• 55:04
  the consequences of that were. Ladies and gentlemen, do not
• 55:07
  forget we had Samurai. We had the Samurai wallet
• 55:11
  developers arrested, the Tornado Cash developers arrested.
• 55:14
  They sanctioned Tornado Cash, setting the precedent that open
• 55:18
  source software could be sanctioned.
• 55:20
  That was another decision that was reversed during the the the
• 55:23
  the recently elected Trump administration.
• 55:25
  Also you had the denial of Caitlin Long's federal banking
• 55:30
  charter that would make her bank one of the first crypto Bitcoin
• 55:34
  focus bank custodia bank coming out of Wyoming competitive with
• 55:38
  the national banks. Her federal banking charter was
• 55:41
  denied by her words, not mine. The orders came directly from
• 55:45
  the White House. So this essentially persecution
• 55:48
  of our industry. It ended and it ended with the
• 55:51
  election that happened in November.
• 55:53
  So yeah, don't forget all the things that happened again.
• 55:56
  The proposed 30% tax on Bitcoin miners, Samurai Wallet of
• 56:02
  Satoshi and Phoenix Wallet leaving.
• 56:05
  It was just announced on X, by the way, that Phoenix Wallet is
• 56:08
  back in the US. I suspect Wallet of Satoshi will
• 56:11
  follow in in their footsteps sometime soon.
• 56:14
  So again, it's a good faith effort by the Trump
• 56:16
  administration to signal to the Bitcoin and crypto industry that
• 56:20
  hey, you know what guys like you're not no longer under fire.
• 56:23
  Now we are a Bitcoin maxi show. We're Bitcoiners first.
• 56:26
  So as Bitcoiners, we only believe there's only one true
• 56:30
  cryptocurrency. Everything else is inherently
• 56:32
  centralized. Everything else, the rules could
• 56:34
  be manipulated to benefit the founders or the, you know, the
• 56:37
  foundations, whatever the CE OS, Bitcoin is very unique.
• 56:41
  So like obviously we know this, you know, we don't agree.
• 56:44
  Like we think that Ethereum is a security, but again, kind of
• 56:48
  like as a libertarian, I would rather be in a situation where
• 56:52
  the government isn't picking winners and losers and let the
• 56:55
  free market determine what is going to win and what is going
• 56:57
  to lose. Right there might be an
• 57:00
  unpopular big opinion with some Bitcoiners, but we listen guys,
• 57:05
  this is a two party system in the US.
• 57:07
  We only had two choices choice number one was a pro Bitcoin
• 57:10
  president, anti CBDC president. Choice number 2 was an anti
• 57:14
  Bitcoin president, pro CBDC president.
• 57:17
  For me, it's very obvious. Was it the perfect choice No,
• 57:20
  but I mean we did get Ross freed.
• 57:22
  SAB 121 was appealed end of operation choke .2 point O and
• 57:26
  the strategic Bitcoin reserve, which did absolutely nothing to
• 57:28
  the price. But if you put that aside, I, I
• 57:31
  think the news was bullish, right in, you know, the grand
• 57:34
  scheme of things. The National Cryptocurrency
• 57:37
  Enforcement Unit, established in 2021 under President Biden, was
• 57:40
  a joint task force compromising prosecutors from the DO JS Money
• 57:44
  Laundering and Cybercrime units, along with attorneys from other
• 57:47
  district offices. The unit played a role in major
• 57:52
  DOJ crypto cases, including the prosecution I just talked about
• 57:56
  them, Tornado Cash and likely Samurai wallet developers, as
• 58:00
  well as investigations into North Korean actors involved in
• 58:03
  laundering proceeds from various digital asset hacks.
• 58:07
  The US Deputy Attorney General also instructed DOJ employees to
• 58:12
  prioritize prosecuting individuals who harm digital
• 58:16
  asset investors, shifting focus away from cases against
• 58:19
  exchanges, privacy tools such as mixers and tumblers, and self
• 58:23
  custody wallets and related pool.
• 58:25
  Ongoing investigations that are inconsistent with the foregoing
• 58:29
  should be closed. The Office of the Attorney
• 58:31
  General will work with the Criminal Division and EE OUSA to
• 58:36
  review ongoing cases for consistency against this policy.
• 58:41
  All previously issued policy and directives that are inconsistent
• 58:44
  with any of the of the foregoing are rescinded effective today.
• 58:49
  And yeah, I mean, pretty cool, I would say.
• 58:52
  Wait. Wait, read that Peter tweet
• 58:53
  right there. Yeah, So Peter van Vekburg said
• 58:57
  we wait to see what happens with the Tornado Cash and Samurai
• 59:01
  wallet persecutions. But the memo from the the the
• 59:04
  deputy attorney general yesterday is right on target.
• 59:07
  We should be going after bad guys, not the developers of good
• 59:12
  tools that bad guys happen to use.
• 59:14
  I mean, this is what we've been saying Like, wow, that is I
• 59:17
  think they're, I think those cases are going to and get
• 59:19
  dismissed in my opinion. And I mean, like for all the
• 59:23
  people that were like giving us heat for the orange man, which I
• 59:26
  get it, guys like put his politics aside, we're just
• 59:29
  focused on Bitcoin from a Bitcoin regulatory perspective,
• 59:33
  the orange man was very positive for the industry, maybe not
• 59:36
  positive for the price so so far, but definitely positive for
• 59:40
  the industry from a regulatory perspective.
• 59:42
  Like this is a this is incredible.
• 59:44
  Like if he frees Ross free, gets rid of Tornado cash case, gets
• 59:49
  rid of the samurai wallet persecutions.
• 59:50
  I mean, that'd be amazing. That'd be that'd be fantastic,
• 59:54
  right. So the only thing that's missing
• 59:56
  is, you know, orange man. I mean, Mr. that's, that was
• 1:00:00
  very rude. President Trump.
• 1:00:03
  You did promise us that we were going.
• 1:00:04
  To go into the moon, What's? Happening.
• 1:00:07
  We're not in the moon. What's below the moon?
• 1:00:09
  Yeah. We're not at the moon right now.
• 1:00:11
  Feels bad. We're still on Earth.
• 1:00:13
  We. I thought you were friends with
• 1:00:14
  Elon. I thought you had rockets.
• 1:00:16
  I don't know what's going on. I thought we were going to the
• 1:00:18
  moon. And we haven't gone to the moon.
• 1:00:21
  So other than the price, I think the regulation, the regulatory
• 1:00:25
  environment has definitely improved tremendously under the
• 1:00:29
  Trump administration. There's no denying that Opti.
• 1:00:33
  Yeah, I think this is incredibly bullish news right here.
• 1:00:37
  This is, I think this administration has already gone
• 1:00:40
  above and beyond what they said they would do.
• 1:00:43
  And I know a lot of people don't want to hear that because a lot
• 1:00:45
  of people don't like Trump. But this is I, I, it's hard to
• 1:00:49
  be more bullish on this story right here or the elimination of
• 1:00:52
  what, what was it end set and what, what was the acronym here,
• 1:00:57
  NCFET or whatever. Anyways, it it doesn't really
• 1:00:58
  matter the fact we're seeing this happen and this
• 1:01:02
  administration I think is, is more data points to prove that
• 1:01:09
  the more more data points proving that this administration
• 1:01:12
  is going to be very favorable in regards to Bitcoin and of course
• 1:01:15
  the quote UN quote digital asset sector.
• 1:01:18
  But I'd love to see this and I think the next move is going to
• 1:01:20
  be rather to see what's going to happen with the Tornado Cash and
• 1:01:25
  what was the other Bitcoin mixer.
• 1:01:28
  I'm, oh, sorry, the Samurai wallet guys.
• 1:01:30
  Because if they completely dropped those cases, that's
• 1:01:33
  going to be a huge win that a lot of us Bitcoiners couldn't
• 1:01:36
  even imagine just by voting for Trump.
• 1:01:39
  And I like to see this. This is great.
• 1:01:41
  This is what a lot of bit corners have been saying.
• 1:01:43
  This is what the open source dads have been saying for a long
• 1:01:45
  time is like, you can't blame the developers for how people
• 1:01:49
  use the software. And now it seems like we might
• 1:01:52
  be seeing, I don't know if this would be enshrined in law, but
• 1:01:55
  at least the old law of persecuting the developers is
• 1:01:58
  being slashed out. So I think this is extremely
• 1:02:00
  bullish. I am very bullish on where we
• 1:02:03
  head after this. It's like hard to really to
• 1:02:06
  really not look at this and be like, this is very good news.
• 1:02:08
  This is very good news for bit corners in America.
• 1:02:11
  I think this is very good news for bit corners across the
• 1:02:13
  world. Now there's a president here,
• 1:02:15
  I'm sorry, a precedent here in the US that now around the
• 1:02:19
  world, if you go after the developers, you're, you're going
• 1:02:22
  after the wrong people. It's not about who creates the
• 1:02:24
  software. It's about how they use the
• 1:02:25
  software. That is who should be
• 1:02:27
  persecuted. So I'm really hopeful that this
• 1:02:30
  starts to make ripples around the world.
• 1:02:32
  This is I it's like it's incredible that we can't put
• 1:02:35
  this in the title here because people wouldn't click it like
• 1:02:37
  this is the most bullish news we've heard all week, or rather
• 1:02:39
  in a couple of weeks. Yes, the price is down.
• 1:02:41
  Yes, there's a strategic Bitcoin reserve talks, but the fact that
• 1:02:44
  they're no longer going after open source developers, this is
• 1:02:48
  great, man, this is awesome. Hopefully a lot of the Bitcoin
• 1:02:52
  wallet and even developers that left the US will, you know,
• 1:02:55
  finally come back home and we and we can start to use the
• 1:02:57
  tools and we're not afraid of of using these open source tools
• 1:03:01
  because of, you know, some big bad boogeyman.
• 1:03:03
  And we're all going to be prosecuted for it.
• 1:03:04
  Like this is extremely good news. 100%, I 100% echo what
• 1:03:09
  Opti's saying and unfortunately, guys, the way that YouTube is
• 1:03:14
  structured and all that stuff. If you are to get a piece of
• 1:03:18
  good news from today's show, we're of course, we were talking
• 1:03:21
  about, you know, micro strategy situation and the price in the
• 1:03:24
  beginning. But if you already get a piece
• 1:03:28
  of of good news from today's show, is this right?
• 1:03:31
  Like the fact that, you know, Bitcoin entrepreneurs and
• 1:03:36
  Bitcoin developers are allowed to develop in the United States
• 1:03:40
  without fear of prosecution is a big effing deal.
• 1:03:44
  I can't emphasize that enough. Aladdin as a Bitcoin
• 1:03:47
  entrepreneur yourself, a successful one, the the the, the
• 1:03:51
  best Bitcoin trading company, the largest, the, the trading
• 1:03:54
  card company in the whole industry.
• 1:03:57
  You know, I mean, I'm sure that this this affected you too, man,
• 1:04:01
  I'm sure this affected your industry is your, you know, your
• 1:04:03
  business as well the outcome of this election.
• 1:04:06
  So what are your thoughts on this?
• 1:04:08
  Essentially this 180 from the Department of Justice relating
• 1:04:12
  to just getting rid of a of a department that the Biden
• 1:04:15
  administration came out of nowhere with the with the goal
• 1:04:18
  of just persecuting, you know, people that again, like you guys
• 1:04:23
  have to understand something about Tornado Cash and Samurai.
• 1:04:26
  Tornado Cash and the Samurai developers didn't write that
• 1:04:29
  code so that criminals could use it.
• 1:04:31
  In fact, a very small percentage of the people that use Tornado
• 1:04:36
  Cash and Samurai were using it for a list of purpose.
• 1:04:39
  The vast majority of people were using it for privacy, right?
• 1:04:43
  So essentially they were saying like, listen, you can't.
• 1:04:48
  Privacy is illegal, which you know, according to the 5th, the
• 1:04:51
  5th amendment I believe, which is no unreasonable search and
• 1:04:53
  seizure. Like it specifically protects
• 1:04:56
  you from that. But like it was total clown
• 1:04:57
  world. They didn't care.
• 1:04:59
  They were out for blood. Elizabeth Warren made it very
• 1:05:01
  clear she wanted a central bank digital currency and they needed
• 1:05:05
  to create essentially a monopoly.
• 1:05:06
  No competition for that. CBDCI believe that was their
• 1:05:10
  motivations to go after Bitcoin. Aladdin, what are your thoughts
• 1:05:12
  man? Yeah.
• 1:05:14
  And I think this kind of just brings it full circle of what
• 1:05:17
  I've been talking about. The more we get in the way of
• 1:05:22
  freedom, the, the more that the the Trump administration starts
• 1:05:25
  actually allowing people to to have their freedoms, the more we
• 1:05:30
  are going to get more of the everyday person to adopt
• 1:05:34
  Bitcoin. So I kind of look at it like we
• 1:05:36
  can go one of two ways. We either persecute people for
• 1:05:40
  being in Bitcoin and we make it as dangerous as possible for the
• 1:05:44
  everyday person to get into Bitcoin or even try to
• 1:05:47
  understand Bitcoin. And if that's the case, then big
• 1:05:49
  business, big money, big government comes in, takes over
• 1:05:53
  and they reap the rewards. But if Trump is able to actually
• 1:05:57
  follow through on all these things he's doing, like free
• 1:06:00
  Assange, drop it all, open it up, Snowden, these freedom
• 1:06:05
  movements that he could potentially do, this would be
• 1:06:08
  the catalyst to really start opening the doors to getting the
• 1:06:12
  everyday person into Bitcoin. So I'm kind of, I'm, I'm
• 1:06:16
  standing on a on a fence right now just waiting to see which
• 1:06:20
  way it goes. I really don't I don't take
• 1:06:24
  promises for shit. They actually have to do what
• 1:06:27
  they say they're going to do. And then at that point I believe
• 1:06:31
  it because I can see it. So this is kind of what I'm
• 1:06:33
  waiting for right now. And this will tell us like what
• 1:06:36
  direction that Bitcoin is going to go when it comes to this life
• 1:06:40
  raft. It is it something that is going
• 1:06:42
  to lift all ships that are already the ships controlling
• 1:06:45
  the world, or is it going to lift some ships, which is the
• 1:06:49
  everyday person? And I think there's a lot like
• 1:06:52
  obviously freeing the, the Samurai wallet and the Tornado
• 1:06:59
  cash and all these kind of things.
• 1:07:01
  I mean, we, we are actually working on a project right now
• 1:07:04
  towards helping raise a bunch of awareness towards this.
• 1:07:07
  So this is obviously very important to us, our team and
• 1:07:11
  myself personally, but I, I want to see them follow through with
• 1:07:15
  all these things. And the more they do with that,
• 1:07:17
  the, the more bullish I'm going to be that we're going to get
• 1:07:20
  the everyday person into Bitcoin.
• 1:07:22
  And I know I, I, I read in the chats and I see a lot of people
• 1:07:25
  say that have fun staying poor and there's a lot of toxic
• 1:07:28
  maximus out there and you can get toxic on me all you want.
• 1:07:32
  I, I, I, I don't mind, but the fact is like the everyday person
• 1:07:37
  that they've spent their life completely in doctored and we
• 1:07:40
  can call them stupid. We can call them whatever we
• 1:07:42
  want, but I know so many beautiful, amazing people that
• 1:07:45
  just don't understand Bitcoin. It's not because they're stupid.
• 1:07:48
  These are beautiful people. They've been in doctored the the
• 1:07:51
  the Rothschilds literally created the education system,
• 1:07:55
  the social media, the news, everything they're getting hit
• 1:07:58
  with every day. Just because they're in doctor
• 1:08:01
  doesn't make these people bad people and they don't deserve to
• 1:08:05
  be poor. They have just literally been
• 1:08:07
  their brains have been twisted with all the shit that they are
• 1:08:10
  propagandized with every day. So I really like the mission
• 1:08:14
  that we are on and we should all be on as Bitcoiners is not to
• 1:08:19
  tell people have fun staying poor and go fuck yourself in all
• 1:08:23
  of this. Like we have to have a little
• 1:08:24
  bit more compassion in our hearts and understand that we
• 1:08:28
  are so blessed and lucky to know what is going on right now.
• 1:08:32
  And this is like a massive gift in whatever God or whatever you
• 1:08:37
  want to find it. This is a gift.
• 1:08:40
  And I think that we should be trying to give this gift to as
• 1:08:43
  many people as possible. So again, full circle, the more
• 1:08:47
  that Trump allows freedom in the Bitcoin space, the more we are
• 1:08:50
  allowed to transact freely. This is where the true catalyst
• 1:08:55
  of real adoption comes in, and this is where I start to get
• 1:08:59
  more and more bullish. Dude, absolutely inspiring from
• 1:09:03
  Aladdin. You guys heard it right here
• 1:09:05
  live. If you don't buy Bitcoin, you're
• 1:09:07
  going to have fun staying poor. No man, but you know, I
• 1:09:15
  completely agree. I completely agree, Aladdin.
• 1:09:19
  I have to have compassion. You have to have understanding.
• 1:09:22
  You have to understand the privilege that you have.
• 1:09:25
  Again, you do have a privilege and I and I would say you do not
• 1:09:28
  only have a privilege for understanding Bitcoin, but you
• 1:09:31
  do also have a, you do also have a responsibility, in my opinion,
• 1:09:37
  to really wake up the people around you to your left, to your
• 1:09:40
  right, your family members and say, hey, guys, you know, you
• 1:09:43
  guys are getting distracted with the whole, you know, liberal
• 1:09:47
  versus conservative thing. The money's broke and you fix
• 1:09:50
  the money, you fix the world. So I 100% agree with Aladdin's
• 1:09:53
  message. Absolutely inspiring.
• 1:09:55
  Guys. Speaking of Aladdin, Speaking of
• 1:09:58
  one of his missions, Speaking of his business, we're going to be
• 1:10:01

• 1:12:28
  rumble audience as well. Opti, we got Aladdin in the
• 1:12:32
  house. I heard rumors, speculation that
• 1:12:36
  we were we we might possibly open a pack on today's show.
• 1:12:41
  Is that true? Yes, this is true.
• 1:12:44
  This is true. But before we go to the actual
• 1:12:47
  cards and you know, the new pack and all, all the stuff around
• 1:12:51
  the BTC trading cards, I I think it's it, it would only be
• 1:12:54
  fitting Aladdin, if we shift up what we want to talk about and
• 1:12:57
  you continue the conversation you just had.
• 1:12:59
  You've been telling us off the show on the show for a long time
• 1:13:03
  time of what the ultimate goal is for BTC trading cards and
• 1:13:06
  that's bringing Bitcoin to the normies or bringing Bitcoin to
• 1:13:09
  the average person. So let's just let's start there
• 1:13:12
  and then we can, you know, have a little fun open some packs
• 1:13:14
  and, and talk about our card and the, and the new series and
• 1:13:17
  everything you guys got going on.
• 1:13:19
  But I, I think it would be fitting if we started there
• 1:13:21
  because the, the chat really like that, that bit you just
• 1:13:25
  did. So let's start there and then
• 1:13:26
  we'll talk about the cards and we'll do a live opening.
• 1:13:30
  Excellent. Yeah, no, I mean, I, I've got 3
• 1:13:32
  kids, two teenagers and a four year old.
• 1:13:35
  So I, I get it from the different generations.
• 1:13:38
  And I do agree with so much of, of what the Bitcoin space is
• 1:13:42
  saying. I, the laziness is insane.
• 1:13:46
  I'm trying to balance my, my teenagers and how much they
• 1:13:49
  intake online. And we homeschool our kids.
• 1:13:52
  So we do everything we can to pull them away from the
• 1:13:55
  indoctrination. And, and we've done a pretty
• 1:13:57
  decent job. We're, we're blessed with some
• 1:13:59
  really good kids. But yeah, these, these
• 1:14:02
  generations are broken. But I mean, it goes all the way
• 1:14:05
  through to Gen. X.
• 1:14:06
  The, the addiction to social media is absolutely insane.
• 1:14:10
  People have literally the completely broken time
• 1:14:13
  preferences. You got to hit them in 30
• 1:14:14
  seconds. If you don't hit them in 30
• 1:14:16
  seconds, they're over it. So we've, we've got our work cut
• 1:14:19
  out for us. And, and I do agree that the
• 1:14:21
  laziness across the board is insane, But that's also mainly
• 1:14:25
  coming from I think people in the United States go outside the
• 1:14:29
  United States and the suffering is on a completely different
• 1:14:32
  level. And anybody that talks shit on
• 1:14:35
  1/3 world country with what those people are dealing with in
• 1:14:37
  the way of saying they're lazy and they're stupid, that's
• 1:14:42
  ignorant right there. So we need to do our part.
• 1:14:45
  Again, it it comes down to having compassion.
• 1:14:48
  And if you're winning and you're not willing to share some of
• 1:14:53
  that win, at the very least it's not hand your sats out or give
• 1:14:56
  your money away to charity. But your time is money.
• 1:15:01
  So being able to give a little bit of your time to people to
• 1:15:04
  give them a chance, that is so important.
• 1:15:08
  So that's what these cards are all about.
• 1:15:10
  It's breaking it down in a in a simple and quick of a capture of
• 1:15:14
  the person's time and attention as you can.
• 1:15:17
  Taking them off the Internet is so huge.
• 1:15:20
  So you can talk to your friends, your family, your kids, whoever
• 1:15:24
  it is about Bitcoin and you can shine your phone at them, but
• 1:15:27
  literally you're just shoving blue light in their eyes and
• 1:15:31
  it's not really the best thing you can do.
• 1:15:33
  So as much as you can pull them out of the matrix and and talk
• 1:15:36
  to them on a personal level, look them in the eyes, touch and
• 1:15:39
  feel something tangible. That's what these trading cards
• 1:15:42
  are. It's a physical.
• 1:15:43
  Yeah, it's a piece of cardboard, but it's a piece of cardboard in
• 1:15:46
  the real world. And trading cards are so
• 1:15:49
  nostalgic. Some of the first transactions
• 1:15:52
  that most of us ever had was either marbles, Pogs or trading
• 1:15:56
  cards on the playground. So we literally learn currency,
• 1:16:00
  we we learn about trading, we learn about how to interact with
• 1:16:04
  people, peer-to-peer transactions on the playground
• 1:16:07
  with these types of tools. And that's exactly what we've
• 1:16:11
  created. It's a tool.
• 1:16:12
  And yeah, you got to throw a number go up in there.
• 1:16:15
  So these trading cards with the scarce as they are, we go with
• 1:16:18
  the Bitcoin ethos. We are honestly the as far as we
• 1:16:22
  know. And I've done at least 100 hours
• 1:16:25
  worth of research through my team on trying to figure out if
• 1:16:28
  there's any other trading card brands on earth that are 100%
• 1:16:31
  transparent and I can't find it. So Pokémon is printing in the
• 1:16:35
  billions of packs, tops, and sports cards and all this shit.
• 1:16:37
  They're printing in the hundreds of millions if not billions of
• 1:16:40
  packs. So is there any real scarcity to
• 1:16:43
  it? No, but people are collecting
• 1:16:45
  these thinking it's scarce. So the correlation between
• 1:16:48
  trading cards and Fiat currency, it's amazing.
• 1:16:52
  And I really didn't even put these two things together when I
• 1:16:55
  was creating the idea behind this.
• 1:16:57
  But it's insane how perfect this project is to teach people about
• 1:17:03
  scarcity. And if they don't understand
• 1:17:05
  scarcity, and as much as most people may not realize, most
• 1:17:09
  people do not even know what scarcity means.
• 1:17:12
  If they did, they wouldn't be buying a pack or a box of
• 1:17:16
  Pokémon cards thinking that they're holding something
• 1:17:19
  collectible or scarce. It's collectible because the
• 1:17:22
  next person doesn't understand as much as you do, and you're
• 1:17:25
  going to sell them something that you know better than them,
• 1:17:29
  I guess. So you're literally selling
• 1:17:31
  something that has millions of copies.
• 1:17:33
  And with what we're doing, we're shaking it up the same way
• 1:17:36
  Bitcoin is shaking up the entire monetary system.
• 1:17:40
  We're shaking up the hobby and we're bringing trading cards in
• 1:17:43
  the same way Bitcoin does, with 100% transparency, finite
• 1:17:48
  supplies, true scarcity to what we're doing.
• 1:17:51
  And the artwork is created by some of the most based Bitcoin
• 1:17:55
  artists, a team of my artists from around the world, from
• 1:17:58
  Argentina, China to Indonesia that are all living through some
• 1:18:01
  of the worst financial crisis has ever, total inflation, total
• 1:18:05
  shit show. So the energy going into this
• 1:18:07
  artwork, it's not AI shit. It's not us going out and
• 1:18:11
  finding random people to slap some shit together.
• 1:18:14
  There is real passion being put into the artwork and every
• 1:18:18
  single card we create. So yeah, it's a mission that
• 1:18:21
  we're on and we're taking bigger risks than anyone in trading
• 1:18:25
  cards would. And hopefully it pays off
• 1:18:28
  because bigger risk, bigger the reward.
• 1:18:30
  But at the same time, the bigger the risk, the bigger the chance
• 1:18:32
  that we fail. So we're just throwing
• 1:18:35
  everything at it and literally just trying to create the most
• 1:18:39
  base set of trading cards ever created and shake it up in our
• 1:18:44
  own way. And the last thing I'll say on
• 1:18:45
  it is I was pretty much out of school around the 7th grade.
• 1:18:51
  All I did was draw and write and study my own shit.
• 1:18:55
  The school just wanted me the hell out of there as I am right
• 1:18:59
  now. I had a big mouth and I didn't
• 1:19:00
  mind telling them exactly what I thought.
• 1:19:02
  So they were like shove them in whatever classroom they could,
• 1:19:06
  which was hugely the library, and let them draw and get them
• 1:19:09
  the hell out of here. So I only really learned if the
• 1:19:12
  teacher made it fun and if they didn't I was out.
• 1:19:15
  So that's most of the premise, if not all the premise we put
• 1:19:18
  into this right here. If you can make education fun,
• 1:19:22
  people are a hell of a lot more willing to actually listen to
• 1:19:25
  what you have to say. And they're actually.
• 1:19:27
  Oh my God. Bro.
• 1:19:30
  We got a legend on today's show. Aladdin.
• 1:19:33
  First of all, dude, I applaud you for what you're doing.
• 1:19:37
  I've been a fan since since day one.
• 1:19:38
  One of the things that we've always said on simply is like,
• 1:19:43
  if we actually want to effectuate change, changing the
• 1:19:46
  culture is incredibly important. And culture, you know, it, it,
• 1:19:51
  it's compromise of, of all these different types of facets of
• 1:19:55
  it's music, it's video, it's podcast, it's trading cards,
• 1:19:59
  right? So, you know, imagine having
• 1:20:02
  those experiences as a kid. Right, That you know, when you,
• 1:20:05
  when you have a memory as a kid, it's, it's so memorable, You
• 1:20:08
  never forget it. Like you talk about Pokémon
• 1:20:10
  cards. I remember Pokémon cards 'cause
• 1:20:12
  it was like, it's like part of my middle school or like, you
• 1:20:15
  know, younger, whatever. And you remember Charizard, like
• 1:20:17
  you never forget that, right? Like think about something that
• 1:20:19
  you did two years ago. You probably forget what
• 1:20:21
  happened, right? But it was like those, those
• 1:20:23
  formulative years. Now imagine instead of dealing
• 1:20:26
  with Pokémon cards, you're dealing with Bitcoin cards,
• 1:20:29
  right? And now you're, you're
• 1:20:30
  essentially creating the new generation, the first generation
• 1:20:34
  of Bitcoiner that essentially was born into Bitcoin, right?
• 1:20:38
  We're, we, we were born before Bitcoin.
• 1:20:40
  So like we, you can't say that we were Bitcoin native.
• 1:20:43
  We had to learn Bitcoin as adults, right?
• 1:20:45
  The first generation of kids being born now to Bitcoiners.
• 1:20:49
  I just had my first like about a year ago or so.
• 1:20:52
  Like she's probably going to take all my Bitcoin #1 and #2
• 1:20:57
  like she's going to, she's already going to know from the
• 1:20:59
  onset, like Fiat is bad, Bitcoin is good.
• 1:21:03
  Like those are lessons is that she's going to be taught from a
• 1:21:06
  very early age. Like I remember one of the
• 1:21:07
  things that this like myth that we heard like as as, as you know
• 1:21:12
  as children, which is like money is the root of all evil.
• 1:21:15
  No, Fiat money is the root of all evil.
• 1:21:18
  Like you could change it up like, you know, so those things
• 1:21:22
  right. Again, I'm so excited about the
• 1:21:24
  future Aladdin. I think you, you, you have this
• 1:21:26
  pivotal role in this Bitcoin cultural movement slash
• 1:21:31
  phenomenon that you know, we're currently living through and
• 1:21:34
  it's extremely exciting what you're doing, man.
• 1:21:39
  Thank you. Bro opti I really.
• 1:21:41
  Yeah, is it time time It's time. Well, I I think Aladdin could
• 1:21:45
  pull a card out, but you know, I'm I'm just I'm just over here
• 1:21:49
  super hype because Nico gave me one of these.
• 1:21:51
  And so let's transition this to the new pack because I got 1
• 1:21:55
  here, the goated Nico Opti one way is it?
• 1:21:59
  It might not. I might have to like let's let's
• 1:22:04
  not gonna work. There we go.
• 1:22:07
  Also also, Aladdin's been shaming me because I can't grow
• 1:22:11
  a mustache this strong, but look at that strong mustache right
• 1:22:14
  there. If only I.
• 1:22:16
  Could, if only I could. Anyways, Aladdin, let's talk
• 1:22:19
  about this new pack release or this this new box coming out
• 1:22:22
  while I fix my camera again. Well.
• 1:22:25
  That's the only card you have to share, so you got to take it out
• 1:22:27
  of the case in order. Oh, there we go.
• 1:22:31
  Yeah. Is that the one out of 210 or
• 1:22:35
  the one out of 500? Yeah, honestly, guys, I look so
• 1:22:40
  handsome with the mustache. I'm.
• 1:22:42
  I'm being shamed in real life. You really do, man.
• 1:22:45
  I mean, you're just going to have to like start shaving every
• 1:22:48
  day even though you. Know I need to put that like
• 1:22:50
  stuff that makes your hair grow just on my.
• 1:22:56
  Oh man can we do a RIP of a pack Aladdin on on air.
• 1:23:01
  We can, I just want to show a couple things real quick to give
• 1:23:04
  everyone to give everyone an idea of these cards and this set
• 1:23:09
  specifically. So this set is warriors versus
• 1:23:11
  villains. And again, I, I try to talk to
• 1:23:14
  as many people I can about Bitcoin, about just everything
• 1:23:17
  going on. And there's so many topics that
• 1:23:20
  are so difficult for people to understand.
• 1:23:22
  So literally this is what we put in these cards and again, the
• 1:23:26
  most based trading cards on earth.
• 1:23:28
  So if you can see that that's the IMF.
• 1:23:32
  So then on the back, it's going to give you a little breakdown
• 1:23:34
  about the IMF and just what these mega thieves are all
• 1:23:39
  about. If you've never read the book,
• 1:23:41
  the economic hit man, it's literally a life changer.
• 1:23:44
  It's one of the ones that brought me into everything that
• 1:23:47
  I all the rabbit holes I went down.
• 1:23:50
  So the economic hit man, so important for people to
• 1:23:52
  understand. Show one last one.
• 1:23:55
  This is the WEF right? So in order to get people to
• 1:24:01
  take a moment and start to understand these things, I mean
• 1:24:04
  anyone that isn't completely brain dead would find out about
• 1:24:07
  the weft and understand that it is just the scariest shit in the
• 1:24:11
  entire world and should never exist.
• 1:24:13
  So that's what these cards are all about is literally breaking
• 1:24:17
  down these subjects. More red pill honestly than
• 1:24:21
  orange pill in a lot of ways. Because again, the way we feel
• 1:24:24
  is if we don't have freedom, then what the hell is Bitcoin
• 1:24:27
  going to do for us? So it is about freedom, adoption
• 1:24:30
  first and then the Bitcoin success and the bright orange
• 1:24:33
  future will come true. Otherwise we will have a a
• 1:24:36
  Bitcoin Fiat value that is through the roof, but we have no
• 1:24:39
  freedom and what the hell good does that do?
• 1:24:42
  So there's my rant on that and let's pick a pack for you guys.
• 1:24:46
  So Nico and Opti, which way do we go?
• 1:24:49
  Warriors or villains do. We want to see ourselves get
• 1:24:54
  pulled or let's do villains. Well, I mean, everything's
• 1:24:58
  random, so it's literally just the.
• 1:25:00
  Oh, OK, alright, let's go villains.
• 1:25:02
  Let's go villains. I'm in the.
• 1:25:03
  Villain arc right now since we're poor and the Bitcoin price
• 1:25:06
  is crashing. Villain arc confirmed.
• 1:25:10
  Excellent. I I need the I need the music.
• 1:25:15
  And the only thing I would have done different with this set is
• 1:25:18
  I would have made the wax a little bit more doable.
• 1:25:22
  All right. Because you got to cut them open
• 1:25:25
  with a scissor. So we got Bitco Yanowski, proof
• 1:25:30
  of work. That is the tyrant right there.
• 1:25:34
  Is that Opti A? Kenny Florin So this is
• 1:25:40
  literally we we capture the pop culture.
• 1:25:42
  I love it and we so great, dude. Oh, there's the is that the
• 1:25:46
  that's the face card, right? The shiny one.
• 1:25:50
  No. So this is this one of the
• 1:25:51
  foils. So again, there's only 21,000
• 1:25:53
  packs done once a year, the finite supply.
• 1:25:56
  And then we go with a completely different theme, completely new
• 1:25:59
  art all the way around. So in these sets, the worst card
• 1:26:03
  you're going to get it is an out of 1000, which is pretty
• 1:26:06
  incredible. And those were the three base
• 1:26:07
  cards. This is a Bitcoin orange out of
• 1:26:11
  210. So you're getting three base
• 1:26:15
  cards. And then the other six cards are
• 1:26:17
  going to be these foil parallels.
• 1:26:20
  And then from the foil parallel, you're going to get your actual
• 1:26:23
  hit. And that's the last card in the
• 1:26:25
  pack. So this is one of my favorites
• 1:26:26
  here. Shout out to World.
• 1:26:28
  Of shout out to world of Rusty. Price of tomorrow So this is a
• 1:26:33
  4/21 what do we we got here the Bitcoin card this is a silver
• 1:26:38
  parallel out of 669 rumble shout out to everyone on rumble.
• 1:26:44
  So getting to collab with Rumble was amazing.
• 1:26:48
  Super honored to be able to have these guys in the pack.
• 1:26:50
  So this is a resource card and it lets you know about Rumble
• 1:26:55
  and gets people to understand the options that are out there
• 1:26:58
  versus the horrible corporate Google shit.
• 1:27:03
  This is private key versus public key, and that is a Noster
• 1:27:08
  purple that we created. So that's out of 700.
• 1:27:13
  Oh damn. And damn, it's right after.
• 1:27:15
  So definitely big shout out to Noster in the Noster community.
• 1:27:20
  And then this is the final hit card right here and boom, Sam
• 1:27:25
  Brinkman frauds. We've got the scammers card and
• 1:27:28
  this is a villain card and it's the snake oil salesman and it's
• 1:27:33
  the thing that honestly wrecks the majority of people that come
• 1:27:36
  into Bitcoin and that is the scammers and this card is a 367
• 1:27:42
  out of 500. Let's go.
• 1:27:44
  Hey, Aladdin, let's, let's talk about what you were telling me
• 1:27:46
  before the show about how, and, and I forget how you, you framed
• 1:27:50
  it like, but the people that you printed this card with, they
• 1:27:55
  were giving you guys so much parade for just like how awesome
• 1:27:58
  these cards. And can you, can you tell that
• 1:27:59
  story real quick before we sign off today?
• 1:28:01
  Because it didn't really make sense to me.
• 1:28:04
  It's like, I'm not much of A card guy.
• 1:28:06
  You know, I love this card because I'm on it, obviously.
• 1:28:08
  But I, I think it's very important to, to tell the people
• 1:28:12
  just like, these aren't just incredible because they're
• 1:28:14
  Bitcoin cards, even even other card people are like, yo, this
• 1:28:18
  is, this is really high quality stuff.
• 1:28:22
  Yes. I mean when you build in the
• 1:28:24
  Bitcoin ethos and you put the proof of work out there the way
• 1:28:26
  that we do with these cards, you get rewarded.
• 1:28:30
  So the card company that we work with that prints these, excuse
• 1:28:34
  me, it's the second largest printer in the entire world.
• 1:28:37
  So these guys print for basically just about everyone
• 1:28:42
  out there and to have them print our cards is pretty amazing.
• 1:28:46
  So when it comes to the validity of what we're doing, and even we
• 1:28:51
  have this thing that we did where we went the extra mile,
• 1:28:53
  that orange pill on there actually has a fingerprint
• 1:28:56
  stamp, so tamper proof. Basically, you would have to
• 1:28:59
  actually break into the facility and find that stamp in their
• 1:29:03
  vault, steal the stamp in order to actually try and knock off
• 1:29:07
  what we're doing. But then we literally go to
• 1:29:10
  complete other heights when it comes to our print.
• 1:29:13
  And we literally spent every extra dime that we had all the
• 1:29:18
  way across the all of our assets in order to print potentially
• 1:29:23
  one of the nicest sets that have ever been printed.
• 1:29:25
  So this is the Bitcoin Chase card right here.
• 1:29:29
  This is an Epic Ice, just to give you an example.
• 1:29:32
  And basically what we did is we went so far above and beyond
• 1:29:37
  with the printer, we asked them what can we do?
• 1:29:40
  And this is something that really got them excited because
• 1:29:43
  they're used to the big print companies that print literally
• 1:29:47
  hundreds of millions of packs of trading cards and they send them
• 1:29:50
  the files and it's a go where with us, we're literally trying
• 1:29:53
  to push every envelope. We can say what options do we
• 1:29:56
  have to create something that is far beyond any other trading
• 1:30:01
  cards in the world because Bitcoin is far beyond any other
• 1:30:04
  money that has ever been created in the world.
• 1:30:06
  So the cards have to do the same thing.
• 1:30:08
  And we with this set, we impress the printer to the point where
• 1:30:13
  we were actually awarded part of their championship program where
• 1:30:17
  they choose two to three companies a year out of around
• 1:30:19
  35,000 customers to be a part of this championship program and
• 1:30:24
  now the second largest printer in the world.
• 1:30:26
  Because we're part of this program, they are putting out a
• 1:30:30
  marketing strategy behind us to use us as an example for new
• 1:30:34
  customers for them on just how far they can go as a printer and
• 1:30:39
  really showcase Bitcoin trading cards to potentially hundreds of
• 1:30:43
  thousands, if not millions of people around the world, mainly
• 1:30:47
  companies. But this will get us front and
• 1:30:49
  center in front of more people than we could have ever dreamed
• 1:30:52
  of. So to have the the printer that
• 1:30:55
  works with again that the biggest trading card companies
• 1:30:58
  in the world stand behind us like this and we were able to
• 1:31:01
  impress them to this point is one of the biggest honors we we
• 1:31:05
  could ever have. That's super cool man.
• 1:31:07
  That's that's absolutely awesome.
• 1:31:10
