Why Elon Musk Adopting Bitcoin is Inevitable | EP 964 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:03
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:05
  Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
• 0:15
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:23
  Yeah, Welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live.
• 0:25
  You're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
• 0:27
  revolution. Cover breaking news.
• 0:29
  Culture. Matic warfare.
• 0:30
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:33
  state. We are simply Bitcoin at the end
• 0:37
  of the day. And covering the separation of
• 0:41
  money and state is not just of course the the money aspects are
• 0:46
  extremely important. It's in the name.
• 0:48
  But what started this fire? What started this?
• 0:51
  The ability for this to happen in the 1st place.
• 0:54
  It was the introduction of the Internet which led to
• 0:58
  peer-to-peer mass communication social media.
• 1:01
  It allowed anybody who has great ideas to start building a
• 1:06
  following and by and then by doing so circumventing the
• 1:11
  gatekeepers of information that has been not only AS we have
• 1:18
  alternatives to state money, that has also been a pain in the
• 1:23
  ass, for lack of a better expression, for governments that
• 1:27
  have been used to controlling the narrative on a massive
• 1:31
  scale. This came out during the Twitter
• 1:35
  files here in the US. This has and, and I really
• 1:39
  suggest this amazing interview with Tucker Carlson and Mike
• 1:42
  Benz. And it's been going on for a
• 1:45
  long time, but it only really became apparent over the last
• 1:48
  five years due to the the, the, the worldwide response to the
• 1:55
  pandemic. And that's really when things
• 1:57
  started to kind of be like, whoa, what's what's going on
• 1:59
  here? And their ability to gaslight
• 2:03
  the way that they've been used to like them going on the
• 2:06
  podium, you know, at the White House press meetings or
• 2:09
  whatever, and tell like the public, like, yeah, inflation is
• 2:12
  going down, Thanksgiving is actually getting cheaper.
• 2:14
  And then, you know, short them shortly after getting, you know,
• 2:18
  like badgered on social media, people are just posting the
• 2:21
  facts. That's very inconvenient for
• 2:24
  governments that have been used to doing things a certain way.
• 2:28
  And then that leads me to what's going on in Brazil.
• 2:31
  In Brazil, there's a Supreme Court judge that has ruled that
• 2:36
  essentially that certain Twitter accounts in Brazil or ex
• 2:39
  accounts in Brazil had to be censored.
• 2:43
  Then that led Elon, which is historic.
• 2:45
  It LED Elon Musk to take a stance and say, you know what,
• 2:48
  we're not going to do that. And then that led for the
• 2:51
  government of Brazil. Basically, they're about to do
• 2:53
  this, to threaten to take the platform completely off.
• 2:58
  Now, the reason that I named today's episode what I did is
• 3:02
  because it all kind of goes back to one of Satoshi's original
• 3:06
  quotes. If there is a quote, UN quote.
• 3:10
  And I'm paraphrasing. If there's a metaphoric
• 3:13
  centralized head to, you know, go after.
• 3:17
  Governments are really, really good at going after that.
• 3:21
  I don't know how much Elon can resist and he's getting
• 3:25
  resistance from the US government, from the European
• 3:29
  Union, and now from Brazil. How long could he resist this?
• 3:33
  For? As long as there's an ability
• 3:36
  for governments to Co-op the institution.
• 3:38
  I think over time the inevitable is going to happen.
• 3:42
  This is why freedom tools are so important.
• 3:47
  And of course I'm talking about Noster and of course I'm talking
• 3:51
  about Bitcoin. Can't stop it.
• 3:55
  They're censorship resistant. You can't just de platform
• 3:58
  someone if you wanted to, right? This is why we are here.
• 4:03
  So not only is the separation of money and state important, the
• 4:09
  separation of information and state comes right before at.
• 4:13
  Because if we lose that fight, forget about the separation of
• 4:16
  money and say if they're allowed to control the mass narrative,
• 4:19
  forget about it. People will willingly just walk
• 4:21
  into CBD CS, not even caring. So it's our job really to wake
• 4:27
  people up to the reality that it's not left versus right.
• 4:30
  It's not liberal but conservative.
• 4:32
  It's the party of Fiat versus the party of Bitcoin, party of
• 4:36
  green versus the party of orange.
• 4:39
  And I got to say, you know, this is a very historic time and I
• 4:44
  hope that Elon continues to take this stance because as much as
• 4:49
  as much of us bitcoiners that are fans of Noster and we use
• 4:53
  Noster, I try to be active on Noster every single day and post
• 4:56
  something on Oster. At the end of the day, the vast
• 5:00
  volume of people is a part of the reason people like, hey, why
• 5:02
  don't you guys just post exclusively on X?
• 5:05
  It's like, look, the our volume is on YouTube.
• 5:07
  Our volume, you know, is on X. Right now.
• 5:10
  Noster doesn't have that critical mass or the vast
• 5:13
  majority of the world is there. So the fact that Elon freed the
• 5:18
  bird, so to speak, on Twitter did a lot for the freedom
• 5:22
  movement. Now is it perfect?
• 5:23
  No. And This is why I named today's
• 5:26
  episode what I named it. I think Elon is going to come to
• 5:30
  the inevitable conclusion that if it's not a protocol, he's not
• 5:36
  going to be able to resist the onslaught that is coming.
• 5:39
  I think that's just, you know, I think it's obvious be be Dion
• 5:44
  commented on it. I think anyone who is an
• 5:48
  advocate of freedom and is not using all the tools available to
• 5:54
  you is a LARP. I think they are.
• 5:57
  I want to say I want to go as far as to faking it, but you
• 6:02
  have the tools right in front of you.
• 6:03
  Elon. I think you're inevitably going
• 6:05
  to come to this conclusion sooner or later.
• 6:08
  Tesla is one of the few public companies that are holding
• 6:12
  Bitcoin on on their balance sheet.
• 6:14
  So yeah, I mean you can resist the government of Brazil.
• 6:18
  Brazil could D platform Twitter. You're only going to be able to
• 6:22
  access it through AVPN or or crazy idea, How about Noster?
• 6:28
  How about Noster where there is no one's door to knock on right?
• 6:32
  There is no Bitcoin CEO because make no mistake, if there was
• 6:36
  one they would have already shut it down.
• 6:38
  So how long until Elon figures out the inevita, I mean, reaches
• 6:45
  the inevitable conclusion that, look, it's like you either use
• 6:50
  the freedom tools or you don't, and you're at a tremendous
• 6:54
  amount. You're at a tremendous
• 6:56
  disadvantage to governments if you're not using uncensorable
• 7:01
  freedom tools. So yes, Elon Musk inevitably is
• 7:06
  going to come to Bitcoin because he needs it.
• 7:09
  If he's truly, truly if he truly means what he says about free
• 7:14
  speech and free speech and Bitcoin go hand in hand.
• 7:19
  If you think that governments are not going to be OK with you
• 7:23
  saying certain things, what makes you think that governments
• 7:26
  are going to be OK with you transacting a certain way?
• 7:31
  Because fundamentally, at the end of the day, money is a form
• 7:34
  of speech. When you're paying someone, it's
• 7:36
  a form of speech, right? So anyways, we're going to break
• 7:40
  all of that down today. And we have a very special
• 7:43
  video. I've actually never seen this
• 7:45
  one before. There's the famous one of, like
• 7:48
  the guy, kind of like it's a troll where he goes and he's
• 7:51
  like, OK, Bitcoin goes from, you know, it go.
• 7:55
  It went all the way up to 100, then it went down to 50 and then
• 7:58
  went up to 1000, then it went down to 300.
• 8:01
  And he's like kind of making fun of, like, Bitcoin being dead.
• 8:04
  I actually found a video of someone talking about how
• 8:08
  Bitcoin went from $7.50 to a penny like this is like OGOGOG
• 8:16
  and the reason I play this type of content is because this only
• 8:21
  happened in 2011. So I think it's important to
• 8:24
  zoom out because it gives you a perspective on not not only how
• 8:31
  early we are, but sometimes, you know, it can get a little bit of
• 8:35
  frustrating when for a couple of months, a couple weeks we start
• 8:39
  to go crab sideways. But it's good to kind of, you
• 8:43
  know, zoom out because if you zoom out, you see, you know, how
• 8:46
  far we've come. I remember Opti and I used to
• 8:49
  make jokes about this all the time.
• 8:51
  Like we used to buy a million Sats for $100 and that isn't the
• 8:56
  case anymore. So anyways, it's going to be a
• 8:59
  great show. And then of course me and Opti
• 9:01
  are going to break down our experience in the shining
• 9:05
  country on a hill. And of course we're talking
• 9:07
  about El Salvador. We were just there.
• 9:10
  We did a couple live shows there.
• 9:11
  I did a couple live shows from Sun Side Rd.
• 9:14
  We did a couple live shows from the having party and we'll just
• 9:18
  kind of talk about our general type of experiences there.
• 9:21
  Opti won an award. I got it.
• 9:24
  Here, I got it. Here, I'll show you guys later.
• 9:25
  OK, so Opti won an award, which is absolutely hilarious.
• 9:29
  So we're going to like kind of go through that and just have a
• 9:32
  conversation of what we think about the country in its current
• 9:34
  form, where it's going. There isn't a recent there.
• 9:37
  There was a recent announcement by Naimbu Kele that they were
• 9:40
  going to award 5000 passports for free to engineers,
• 9:46
  scientists, artists, philosophers.
• 9:48
  And I thought was really cool. Like that is the proper way of
• 9:52
  running a nation state. Which, you know, again kind of
• 9:55
  goes with the theory of the sovereign individual about how
• 9:58
  eventually as time progresses, as more as we progress more into
• 10:02
  the information age, the relationship between the state
• 10:04
  and the and the individual will change into more of a
• 10:08
  transactional type of relationship, right.
• 10:10
  And sovereign individuals will will be allowed to kind of pick
• 10:13
  and choose what jurisdiction they would like to live in based
• 10:17
  on how how they're treated. So anyways, it's gonna be a
• 10:20
  great show OPT. I don't know if you wanna add
• 10:23
  more to that. If not, we'll jump right into
• 10:25
  it. Now let's just jump right into
• 10:27
  it. Let's let's let's start Monday
• 10:28
  strong. We'll we'll look back
• 10:31
  historically at Bitcoin never dying, get into the news story
• 10:34
  and then and then we'll talk about everything that we
• 10:36
  experienced down in El Salvador. Absolutely.
• 10:39
  All right guys, before we jump into it, I do want to give a
• 10:42
  very, very special shout out to the best place to build your
• 10:45
  automatic self custody Bitcoin stack.
• 10:48

  Canada that recently expanded to all fifty U.S. states.

  At this standard, you can't buy Bitcoin on Bitcoin.
• 11:04
  Well, unless you're going to take self custody, which
• 11:08
  perfectly aligns with the simply Bitcoin ethos of the separation

• 12:10
  let's get to the show. We have a lot to talk about.
• 12:12
  Let's check it out. Here we go.
• 12:16
  The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 12:19
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 12:22
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 12:24
  Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
• 12:27
  hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
• 12:31
  instead of just writing them on paper.
• 12:33
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
• 12:37
  Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
• 12:40
  You want to put your generational wealth on one of
• 12:42
  the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
• 12:45
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 12:48
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 12:52
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 12:55
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 12:57
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 13:00
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 13:03
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 13:06
  All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
• 13:08
  Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
• 13:11
  Stamp your seed on stamp seed. All right ladies and gentlemen,
• 13:16
  I made it incredibly easy for you guys.
• 13:17
  What you could do is you can scan the QR code on your screen.
• 13:21
  It'll take you directly to the stamp seed website where you can
• 13:24
  use promo code simply to get 15% off.
• 13:28
  Store your generational wealth properly.
• 13:30
  Store on titanium, not on paper. At the time of recording the
• 13:35
  Bitcoin price is $71,930, very close to all time highs.
• 13:40
  SAT's per dollar 1390 block height 838,329 blocks to having
• 13:50
  1671. Having estimate April 19th,
• 13:54
  2024. Oh, that's a shame.
• 13:56
  It's not on 4/20 anymore. Total Lightning network capacity
• 13:59
  4355. Bitcoin capacity value 313
• 14:04
  million U.S. dollars. Realized monetary inflation
• 14:08
  1.73%. The market capitalization of
• 14:12
  Bitcoin is currently sitting at 1.42 trillion U.S. dollars.
• 14:17
  Bitcoin versus gold market cap 10.24%.
• 14:22
  In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin's just getting started.
• 14:25
  Anyways, I did want you guys to check out this OG video.
• 14:29
  You could even tell it's OG just based on the camera quality.
• 14:34
  But just check out the prices that this gentleman, I don't
• 14:37
  know what his name is, is talking about.
• 14:39
  He's talking about Mount Cox. I mean, like just oh man, just
• 14:44
  check it out. Hey guys, it's Nick.
• 14:45
  I just witnessed a very dramatic price crash in Bitcoin on the
• 14:51
  Mount Cox exchange. Mount Cox is the main Bitcoin
• 14:54
  exchanger. It's the biggest at the moment.
• 14:56
  There are a couple of them. There's another one called Trade
• 14:59
  Hill, which I'll talk about a little bit later on.
• 15:01
  But Bitcoin is, or I'm sorry, Mount Cox is the big one.
• 15:04
  And when I'm sitting on my computer, I have a little window
• 15:07
  open to bitcoincharts.com and it shows me the Mount Cox price
• 15:12
  Live and it updates it every minute.
• 15:13
  So I get to see what the price is.
• 15:15
  And from the span of about less than 5 minutes, it went from
• 15:18
  1750, which is the range that it's been trading in for the
• 15:22
  last 72 hours. It went from 1750 all the way
• 15:26
  down to 1 penny. That's right, people were buying
• 15:31
  Bitcoin at 1 penny. But if you bought Bitcoin at 1
• 15:36
  penny, you're probably not going to be able to cash out because
• 15:40
  this is what happened. According to the Mt Cox website,
• 15:44
  if you try to go to mountgox.com, they put up this
• 15:47
  notice and I'll just read it. Huge Bitcoin sell off.
• 15:50
  Due to compromise account, the Bitcoin will be back to around
• 15:53
  1750 after we roll back all trades.
• 15:55
  That happened after the huge Bitcoin sale on June 30th.
• 15:58
  Service should be back by June 20th at 11:00 AM.
• 16:02
  One account with a lot of coins was compromised and whoever
• 16:05
  stole it first sold all the coins in there just to buy them
• 16:08
  again just afterwards and tried to withdraw the coins.
• 16:12
  The $1000 per day withdrawal limit was active for this
• 16:15
  account and the hacker could only get out with $1000 worth of
• 16:17
  coins. One account with a lot of I'm
• 16:19
  sorry, apart from this, no account, no other account was
• 16:21
  compromised and nothing was lost due to the large impact this had
• 16:24
  in the Bitcoin market. We will roll back every trade
• 16:27
  that happened since the big sale and ensure that this account is
• 16:30
  secure before opening access again.
• 16:32
  So basically somebody had a lot of Bitcoin, some guy got access
• 16:36
  to his password and then put in a sell order for half a million
• 16:41
  Bitcoin, about at 1 penny. So basically it's sold, sold,
• 16:46
  sold all the way down to a penny.
• 16:48
  Anybody on Mt Cox who had a buy order such as myself, I had buy
• 16:53
  orders all the way down to 1 penny.
• 16:56
  For instance, I had an order to buy 10 Bitcoin at $10.15 Bitcoin
• 17:02
  at $9. You hear that 15 Bitcoin at $9,
• 17:09
  15 Bitcoin today is like $1,000,000.
• 17:14
  It's crazy. 1st 20 Bitcoin all at 5, you know at 5 dollars 321
• 17:19
  all the way down. I had buy orders and so when
• 17:22
  Bitcoin price dropped to a penny in the span of that 5 minutes,
• 17:26
  it went back up to about $13. But in that in the span of just
• 17:30
  5 minutes, all of my buy orders. Were.
• 17:35
  Completed, but doesn't mean I get to walk away with that cheap
• 17:40
  Bitcoin. You can't go on Mount Gox right
• 17:43
  now because they've literally closed down the site and they're
• 17:47
  going to roll back all those charges.
• 17:48
  So any buy orders that I did are going to be reversed, which,
• 17:55
  well, I guess that's not really good for me, but it is good for
• 18:00
  the person whose account was hacked, I suppose.
• 18:04
  So man, this really goes to show the vulnerabilities of this
• 18:09
  Bitcoin market right now. Mount GOX has been having all
• 18:13
  sorts of issues. OK, OK dude, holy bajigas you
• 18:24
  know what is it? 10 Bitcoin with $5.15 Bitcoin
• 18:29
  for $20? Nine dollars is some absurdity
• 18:32
  like that. And I know what a lot of you
• 18:35
  guys are thinking. And that just kind of reminds me
• 18:37
  of the American huddle thing he's living in the moment.
• 18:43
  At that time, right. So he's like thinking he's like,
• 18:47
  oh man, like I could have got it's bitcoins at 17 cents.
• 18:51
  I could have got it at A at a penny.
• 18:54
  Like, you know, like I could have gotten so much more
• 18:58
  Bitcoin. And I'm calling it right now.
• 19:01
  Maybe it won't be so, so absurd, right.
• 19:05
  But I'm telling you right now that in what that was 2011, so
• 19:11
  13 years ago. I'm telling you that in 13 years
• 19:16
  or 10 years, you're going to be remembering when you had the
• 19:21
  opportunity to buy Bitcoin at 71,000.
• 19:24
  And it's going to be so obvious in hindsight.
• 19:29
  And it's always so important to like, look at those videos and
• 19:33
  remember absolute scarcity. Remember that when he was doing
• 19:38
  it at the time, BlackRock was not involved.
• 19:40
  When he was doing it at the time, nation states didn't have
• 19:44
  it as legal tender. When he was involved, you didn't
• 19:48
  have public companies putting it on their balance sheet.
• 19:51
  It was a totally different era back then.
• 19:55
  And all of these things are just starting, just starting to
• 19:58
  happen. So could you imagine what we're
• 20:01
  going to be 10 years from now? I'm going to go out on a limb.
• 20:06
  And I don't like to speculate and like put actual, like
• 20:10
  specific price targets because I think no one really knows.
• 20:14
  But I'm going to go out on a limb and I think people are
• 20:17
  going to be pleasantly surprised at where Bitcoin is going to be
• 20:23
  thirteen years from now, 13 years from now, That's like 3-3
• 20:28
  more cycles. The having subsidy is going to
• 20:32
  be, you know, significantly less right at that point.
• 20:37
  So yeah, just, you know, low time preference.
• 20:42
  Imagine if that guy knew what we knew today.
• 20:47
  He wouldn't even have made that video.
• 20:49
  He would have just shut the F up, literally put his head down,
• 20:53
  done everything in his power just to buy as much Bitcoin as
• 20:58
  possible and just hold it. So apply that, like, learn the
• 21:02
  lessons from the past, from the past, and apply it to what you
• 21:06
  can in the future. And when in doubt, it's
• 21:09
  important to zoom out, right? I think we're just getting
• 21:12
  started. And the reason I say this is
• 21:15
  because if you're not in places like El Salvador, even in El
• 21:19
  Salvador, but most of the people ask yourself, do the Normies
• 21:23
  around you do you're like, do they, like, know what's going
• 21:26
  on? Like, no, they're still like, it
• 21:28
  reminds me of that meme of the guy, which is like, oh, that's
• 21:33
  all that's really cool. Did you see the game last night?
• 21:36
  You know, so it's important to kind of zoom out when in doubt.
• 21:39
  And Opti, you've been in the trenches with me for a while
• 21:42
  now. We've we've been through a
• 21:43
  couple couple cycles together where, you know, hopefully going
• 21:47
  into this bowl that's going to blow everyone's, you know,
• 21:50
  everyone's going to be super, super hyped man, $9 for 15
• 21:55
  Bitcoin. Holy cow, holy car.
• 21:58
  A penny, a penny per Bitcoin, you know.
• 22:00
  But I think, I think the the main signal here though, guys is
• 22:04
  like Hindsight's 2020. And to Nico's point, you know,
• 22:08
  in 1013 years everyone's going to look back and be like, oh
• 22:10
  man, I wish I'd bought Bitcoin AT70K because we all think the
• 22:14
  Bitcoin price is going to go up. You know, it's going up forever,
• 22:16
  Laura. But what I think is the biggest
• 22:19
  signal from this is when you talk to people that are around
• 22:22
  back then like no one knew what Bitcoin was doing when Mount
• 22:26
  Mount Cox happened. People legitimately thought
• 22:29
  Bitcoin was going to die. Like they thought it was over.
• 22:31
  They thought it was dead because we didn't have the the the
• 22:35
  Bitcoin, Bitcoin only education platforms that we have now like
• 22:38
  simply Bitcoin or everyone else that's making good Bitcoin
• 22:40
  content. At the time, it seemed like
• 22:42
  Bitcoin was over. And this is to a point that
• 22:45
  we're not the only ones that say it, but like, I think even
• 22:47
  sailors said it and a lot of us bitcoiners have realized this
• 22:51
  change in the culture where like Bitcoin in my opinion is
• 22:55
  becoming less risky every single day by, you know, 10 minute
• 22:58
  blocks, Bitcoin becomes less risky.
• 23:01
  And it and it's it's in my opinion the best time to be
• 23:04
  buying Bitcoin. Because even if you were an OG
• 23:07
  that was around back then like a lot of people that I've talked
• 23:10
  to that were around then that understood Bitcoin that were on
• 23:14
  Mt Gox. Like they they didn't know what
• 23:16
  they were holding and they weren't holding the those same
• 23:19
  coins that they are today. Like now we have the huddle
• 23:21
  culture where everyone knows like you don't want to spend
• 23:24
  your Bitcoin, take your Bitcoin off exchanges.
• 23:26
  Like everyone knows these memes because of the legends back then
• 23:30
  that absolutely got wrecked, that didn't know what they were
• 23:32
  doing that were basically like walking in the darkness and and
• 23:36
  probably speculating on the price of Bitcoin.
• 23:38
  It wasn't even as easy to take Bitcoin into custody back then
• 23:42
  that as it is today. And so these these are the
• 23:45
  people that sacrifice their their own coins at times and and
• 23:49
  have you know went through the the trenches and got absolutely
• 23:52
  decimated And the ones that stuck around are the Bitcoin Ogs
• 23:57
  that that we all know and love. And so like very few people
• 24:00
  probably got those bitcoins at a penny and still hold it today.
• 24:04
  But everyone wishes that they knew about Bitcoin back then and
• 24:08
  everyone swears that they'd Hoddle their Bitcoin till today.
• 24:11
  But very few people were actually ever capable of
• 24:14
  hoggling their Bitcoin and it just really goes to show that
• 24:17
  now is probably the best time for everyday average people to
• 24:20
  buy Bitcoin because it is becoming de risk.
• 24:22
  I mean we all think of it as like Bitcoin is the risk off
• 24:26
  asset and yet people out there still consider a risk on asset.
• 24:29
  And so moving forward, I know for a fact too like Niko's
• 24:32
  point, we're all going to be looking back at 70 K Bitcoin and
• 24:35
  all have the same thoughts of like man, I should have stacked
• 24:38
  more like everyone has the same thoughts.
• 24:40
  You know everyone thinks they missed the Bitcoin price when
• 24:43
  they come in and they buy it at a high price.
• 24:45
  You know my buddy why? And you guys don't know why.
• 24:47
  He basically says like I buy historical tops as or I buy tops
• 24:52
  and Bitcoin as his historical time stamps.
• 24:54
  And so we're we all go through this what what do you always
• 24:58
  say, Nico, you know we all pay the price of tuition to really
• 25:01
  understand what is Bitcoin and how to hold Bitcoin and how to
• 25:05
  make it through the roller coaster ride that is the Bitcoin
• 25:08
  price. But one thing that I really want
• 25:11
  to touch on is shout out to that guy Nick, who is basically
• 25:15
  naming like the big exchanges of the time.
• 25:17
  And I don't know if you guys caught it, but none of them are
• 25:20
  around. Which goes to show that do not
• 25:22
  leave your Bitcoin on exchanges. Of course back then they didn't
• 25:25
  know any better. But now you know, we have a
• 25:28
  bunch of big Bitcoin exchanges and you know, I I don't ever
• 25:31
  root against Bitcoin only companies.
• 25:35
  But it's safe to say that maybe some of the exchanges that we
• 25:38
  know and love today might not make it to the promised land,
• 25:41
  quote UN quote promised land. This is why we tell you guys
• 25:43
  constantly, do not leave your Bitcoin on exchanges.
• 25:46
  Because the biggest exchanges at the time in 2011, like none of
• 25:48
  them are even around. There's very few exchanges that
• 25:51
  are around for the last decade and the ones that are around for
• 25:55
  that long, they, they don't really have as much liquidity as
• 25:58
  they used to. And so this just goes to show
• 26:00
  guys, do not leave your Bitcoin on exchanges.
• 26:04
  But again, Bitcoin never dies. And I I absolutely love the
• 26:09
  website of the Bitcoin obituaries because everyone
• 26:11
  always thinks Bitcoin's dead. Everyone always thinks they
• 26:14
  missed the Bitcoin bull run or missed the the best time to buy
• 26:17
  Bitcoin. When in reality it's never been
• 26:20
  a better time to buy Bitcoin because it's been de risked,
• 26:23
  because everyone knows the memes, everyone's propagating
• 26:25
  the memes. There's a way better Bitcoin
• 26:27
  only education platform out there from all of us, different
• 26:31
  content creators and the signals never been stronger in Bitcoin.
• 26:35
  The Bitcoin memes have been tried and tested.
• 26:37
  People know the best practices of it and This is why we tell
• 26:40
  you guys constantly that it is a memetic warfare.
• 26:43
  Like it's all about information war and spreading these signals
• 26:46
  so more people understand exactly what's going on, so more
• 26:50
  people don't wreck themselves throughout this process.
• 26:53
  Because it really it's not that easy to go from a Fiat world
• 26:57
  into a Bitcoin world. Yes, once you get it, it's easy.
• 27:00
  I have a meme or a a Twitter post that has been pinned on my
• 27:04
  Twitter for a while. It's like once you understand
• 27:08
  why you Hoddle, the Hoddle becomes easier.
• 27:10
  But there are some lessons you have to understand and and
• 27:14
  basically experience and lived through before you really
• 27:17
  understand the Bitcoin message and the Bitcoin memes.
• 27:21
  And so again guys, hold your own keys, don't leave money on
• 27:25
  exchanges, but shouts out to that guy absolute legend for
• 27:28
  being around that long. And of course we all wish we
• 27:30
  were buying Bitcoin at a penny or even 15 Bitcoin for $9 or
• 27:35
  whatever. It was like we all wish we had a
• 27:37
  time machine to go back in time, but what's the saying?
• 27:41
  You know the best time to have stacked Bitcoin is yesterday,
• 27:44
  but the best time since then is to stack today and start
• 27:47
  stacking and just get off 0. This is the mission, guys.
• 27:50
  Accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible, provide value to your
• 27:53
  fellow man. Don't don't you know, live below
• 27:56
  your means. Save Bitcoin for the long term.
• 27:58
  Because in time if you do not capitalize on this opportunity,
• 28:03
  you're going to be looking back at today's prices like we are on
• 28:06
  on that video and be like man, I had a chance to buy Bitcoin
• 28:09
  AT70K and I was sleeping at the wheel and I, you know, whatever
• 28:13
  I like Jack Mueller was the same.
• 28:15
  You know, I shorted Bitcoin to buy some pants like what am I
• 28:17
  doing? Do not do that.
• 28:19
  Just stack. Make sure you take Bitcoin into
• 28:22
  custody, make sure your your seed trays are backed up, make
• 28:25
  sure you can access your Bitcoin and just continue to stack.
• 28:28
  This is the name of the game and we will look back at these shows
• 28:32
  like today we'll look back at simply Bitcoin in like 10 years
• 28:34
  and be like man, we had the greatest opportunity ever to
• 28:37
  stack Bitcoin AT70K. And yet some of us took the the
• 28:41
  foot off the gas pedal. So don't do that.
• 28:43
  Accumulate Bitcoin, take it into custody and in 10 years time
• 28:47
  we're going to be looking back at at these type shows and be
• 28:50
  like man, we were so lucky, we were so lucky to be able to have
• 28:53
  the opportunity to stack Bitcoin AT70K.
• 28:56
  Yes, of course we all want Bitcoin at pennies.
• 28:58
  But hey, this is the chance we have now to stack as much
• 29:03
  Bitcoin as possible. Amen to that.
• 29:05
  Amen to that guys. If you're enjoying the show, may

  to the news, the Daily News. I want to give a shout out to
• 30:31
  our sponsor, Foundation Devices. It's self custody done right.

  Bitcoin Miami 2023, the passport is back in stock at
• 31:07
  foundationdevices.com. Bitcoin only.

• 31:16
  materials. If you're thinking about getting
• 31:18
  your Bitcoin off exchange changes, this is the one for
• 31:21
  you. Check out the passport link in
• 31:23
  the show notes below to learn more.
• 31:26
  Awesome. All right everybody, So quick
• 31:28
  ETF update before let's start with the company updates and
• 31:31
  I'll tell you why in a second. But first, MicroStrategy.
• 31:34
  214,000 Bitcoin Marathon. Digital Holdings 16,930 Bitcoin
• 31:41
  Tesla, Tesla. It's interesting, right?
• 31:45
  You know a lot of people give Elon shit and especially
• 31:50
  bitcoiners, right? Rightly so because the dude is
• 31:53
  promoting Doge like he has such a platform and the dude promotes
• 31:58
  doge. And we always say this like why
• 32:01
  is it someone as smart as Musk? People say no Musk is not smart
• 32:05
  dude. It's self driving cars and the
• 32:08
  Rockets that land themselves. You can't founded PayPal like
• 32:12
  you can't like second richest man or richest man in the world.
• 32:15
  Can't say the dude is dumb, like dude's smart, so yeah.
• 32:19
  But but again, you have to understand that Bitcoin is a
• 32:21
  humility test and it always reminds me of that that meme
• 32:27
  where I'm new to Bitcoin, I'm here to fix it.
• 32:31
  And the reason it's a humility test is because what Michael
• 32:35
  Saylor says, everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they
• 32:37
  deserve. So you kind of have to eat your
• 32:40
  humble pie a little bit like that's that's the like the the
• 32:44
  God honest truth like you have to be OK with it and it is
• 32:50
  someone at the levels of Elon Musk going to eat his humble
• 32:53
  pie. I think eventually he might be
• 32:56
  forced to especially if he's sincere about the mission that
• 33:00
  he's currently on and we'll get to that in a SEC.
• 33:02
  But I just wanted to point that out that Elon already or one of
• 33:07
  his companies of which he's a a majority shareholder the the
• 33:11
  biggest shareholder and he's definitely the CEO of is the
• 33:14
  third largest public company that holds Bitcoin.
• 33:18
  Tesla holds 9720 Bitcoin. Now they have led his hands.
• 33:22
  They sold some of that they've but they've already doubled
• 33:26
  their investment by holding Bitcoin.
• 33:29
  So anyways wanted to point that out Now moving on Grayscale ETF
• 33:33
  update seems like holy crap you know grayscale seems like they
• 33:38
  bought 8000 Bitcoin over the weekend.
• 33:41
  Fidelity seems like they bought 7000 Bitcoin.
• 33:44
  Ark continues to go up. So that institutional demand,
• 33:48
  you know, continues to stay the same.
• 33:49
  But as Tone Vase pointed out, so rightly so, and I'd love that.
• 33:54
  He pointed that out on the Friday show, He was like Nico,
• 33:58
  like people are just getting rid of the grayscale because they
• 34:02
  don't like the fees and they're just going to BlackRock.
• 34:04
  They're just going to Fidelity. They're just going to Ark
• 34:07
  because they offer better fees. So it's it's, it might not
• 34:11
  necessarily mean that BlackRock is scooping all this up.
• 34:17
  It might be that BlackRock is scooping up the Bitcoin that
• 34:21
  Grayscale is selling. But you can only do that for so
• 34:24
  long until you run out of Bitcoin, right?
• 34:28
  So anyways, so we're going to do a tale of two different nation
• 34:32
  states. First we're going to start with
• 34:34
  El Salvador. This is the recent announcement
• 34:37
  opting are going to double back to our personal experiences in
• 34:41
  on in the shining country on a hill El Salvador.
• 34:45
  But this is one of the recent things like 40 chess move by
• 34:49
  Nayan Bukele. He tweeted this out April 6th,
• 34:52
  so two days ago. Over the weekend, we're offering
• 34:55
  5000 free passports to highly skilled scientists, engineers,
• 35:00
  doctors, artists and philosophers from abroad.
• 35:03
  This represents less than .1% of our population, so granting them
• 35:08
  full citizens citizen status, including voting rights, poses
• 35:12
  no issue. Despite the small number, their
• 35:15
  contributions will have a huge impact on our society in the
• 35:18
  future of our country. Plus we will facilitate the
• 35:22
  reallocation by ensuring 0% taxes and tariffs on moving
• 35:26
  families and assets and this includes commercial value items
• 35:30
  like equipment, software and intellectual property.
• 35:33
  Stay tuned for more details. So like, you would think that
• 35:40
  the role of government or the role of your leaders or the role
• 35:45
  of your so-called betters is to improve the place that you're
• 35:51
  at, right? In the US, we get sold.
• 35:54
  It's a government by the people, for the people.
• 35:58
  But what I believe Fiat has done is that it's Frankenstein, the
• 36:03
  system to make it really like a government by the government for
• 36:08
  the government for the betterment of the government and
• 36:12
  the betterment of the unelected class in the government that
• 36:16
  stays in power regardless of who gets elected into office.
• 36:20
  Some people call it the deep state.
• 36:21
  I call it the administrative state, the managerial class, so
• 36:25
  to speak. Like this is what governments
• 36:29
  are supposed to do, because this will be a huge net benefit for
• 36:36
  the development of El Salvador. Without a shadow of a doubt
• 36:42
  anyways, when I saw this, I tooted out.
• 36:46
  I said sovereign individual thesis playing out.
• 36:48
  When governments compete for your business, you win Viva naim
• 36:52
  bukele. When governments become
• 36:55
  tyrannical, when governments start to censor, we already know
• 36:59
  what happens. There's a reason.
• 37:04
  When they put up the Berlin Wall, people were escaping the
• 37:08
  totalitarian society under the threat of potentially dying for
• 37:14
  freedom. There's a reason, and I live in
• 37:17
  Miami. I live in Florida.
• 37:18
  There's a reason that Cubans risk their lives to get on
• 37:24
  rafts, to try to leave Cuba, to come to Miami, to come to
• 37:29
  Florida and search for a better life.
• 37:32
  Like, there's a reason for that. Genuinely, generally, when you
• 37:36
  have to put up a wall to keep your people from not leaving, it
• 37:41
  tends to be a good indication that, you know, perhaps what you
• 37:45
  have going on isn't necessarily, you know, really Great Society.
• 37:51
  It's not necessarily a really great idea with what's going on
• 37:54
  if people tend to leave and you have to build walls for that and
• 37:59
  what you're doing in El Salvador, what Naima Kelly is
• 38:01
  doing in El Salvador, He's like he's attracting people to come
• 38:04
  to El Salvador. Opti has said this before, where
• 38:07
  he's met in El Salvadorian. He said, look, I want to go back
• 38:10
  to my country. I've met El Salvadorans in Miami
• 38:13
  saying I want to go back to El Salvador.
• 38:16
  You don't see that ever. If you're Latin America, if
• 38:21
  you're Latin American and you reach Miami, it's like reaching
• 38:23
  the promised land. And this is like the place to
• 38:26
  be. It's like the hub for Latin
• 38:28
  America. You don't generally go back, but
• 38:32
  people are seeing what's happening and they feel
• 38:36
  enthusiastic. It's El Salvador still needs a
• 38:39
  lot of work to be done, but at least they're trying.
• 38:43
  They're chipping at the problem. And from my experience, if you
• 38:46
  chip out a problem and you stay at it and you're consistent,
• 38:50
  eventually you breakthrough. So this is what's happening in
• 38:52
  El Salvador now. In stark contrast, what's
• 38:56
  happening in Brazil is absolutely bonkers.
• 39:00
  So this is a huge story. And again guys, the reason that
• 39:04
  we cover freedom of speech issues on simply Bitcoin is
• 39:07
  because freedom of speech is like the front line.
• 39:10
  If you lose the freedom of speech aspect of it, forget
• 39:15
  about the whole Bitcoin aspect of it.
• 39:17
  Freedom of speech has to be defended, has to be fought for.
• 39:21
  But what I'm going to point out in today's episode, what I was
• 39:25
  saying in the very beginning of today's episode is that like,
• 39:29
  you can resist it. You could only resist it for so
• 39:33
  long. Eventually, if you use a
• 39:37
  protocol that it, it can't be stopped.
• 39:41
  It's not a question of, oh, like there's a lot whatever it it
• 39:44
  just it just you can't stop it. What happens is that eventually
• 39:50
  that kind of forces the hand. It does it peacefully, but it it
• 39:56
  it it kind of like it's like if it's there and it's not going
• 40:00
  away. You can't do anything about it,
• 40:03
  you know. Anyways, so headline of this
• 40:06
  article is Elon Musk says X will defy order from Brazil Supreme
• 40:09
  Court after Twitter files. It goes on to say order of X
• 40:13
  Corp Elon Musk said on this platform Saturday evening that
• 40:16
  the company had decided to lift all restrictions on Brazilian
• 40:19
  accounts targeted by an order from the Nation Nation Supreme
• 40:22
  Court. Quote, we are lifting all
• 40:24
  restrictions. This judge has applied massive
• 40:27
  fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to
• 40:30
  X in Brazil. As a result, we will probably
• 40:33
  lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office
• 40:36
  there. The principles matter more than
• 40:39
  profit. The announcement came in
• 40:41
  response to reporting by investigative journalist Michael
• 40:44
  Shellenberger and his colleagues David Agrapa and Ela Vieira,
• 40:48
  titled Twitter Files Brazil and his reporting Mr. Shellenberger
• 40:52
  Sites records released by X, formerly known as Twitter during
• 40:56
  Mr. Muck's 2022 takeover that allegedly showed that Brazil's
• 41:00
  engaged in a sweeping crackdown on free speech led by the
• 41:04
  Supreme Court Justice, sitting members of Brazil's Congress and
• 41:08
  journalists were among those names by Brazil's highest court
• 41:11
  for censoring. He named lower House members
• 41:14
  Carla Zambelli of former President Javier Bolsonaro's
• 41:17
  Liberal Party and Marcel Varan Van Hatten of the Novo Party as
• 41:22
  targets of orders targeting post to the The court deemed
• 41:26
  misinformation. According to the internal files
• 41:29
  Mr. Shellenberger shared, Twitter in Brazil was threatened
• 41:33
  with a $30,000 fine. The company had one hour to
• 41:36
  remove the Congress members post or pay the court for non
• 41:40
  compliance. The article reports that the
• 41:42
  justice had even been jailing individuals without trial for
• 41:46
  things posted on social media. According to Mr. Shellenberger,
• 41:49
  Supreme Court Justice Alexandra De Moraes to allegedly made
• 41:55
  demands to Twitter to allow access to its internal data in
• 41:58
  violation of Twitter's own policies on the handling of user
• 42:02
  data. It went on to say British
• 42:06
  Brazil's Twitter files also show that the Justice SWAT sought to
• 42:09
  weaponize Twitter's content moderation policies against
• 42:12
  supporters of then President Jared Bolsonato.
• 42:15
  Mr. Shellenberger said a similar trend to what the Twitter files
• 42:18
  revealed was happening to former President Donald Trump and
• 42:21
  conservative voices in the United States.
• 42:23
  The origin of the order to censor Brazil's post was also
• 42:26
  revealed in the internal Twitter files last year.
• 42:30
  Justice Demoradas also ordered an investigation into executives
• 42:33
  at social messaging platforms Telegram and alphabets Google
• 42:37
  who were in charge of a campaign criticizing A proposed Internet
• 42:40
  regulation bill. The bill put the on on us on
• 42:44
  Internet company search engine and sold social message
• 42:47
  messaging services to find and report illegal material instead
• 42:50
  of leaving it to the courts and charge hefty fines for failures
• 42:54
  to do so. Anyways, here's kind of the
• 43:00
  breaking aspect of it and here's where I think Elon is eventually
• 43:04
  going to find a very, very tough hill just to fly on.
• 43:09
  Elon obviously took a stance and I'll I'll say this guy's just
• 43:13
  how I said the thing about Brian Armstrong when Coinbase decided
• 43:18
  to adopt integrate Lightning and I said because of Coinbase's
• 43:25
  size, even though it's not a Bitcoin only on ramp because of
• 43:31
  its size, the fact is that Coinbase might have a huge
• 43:36
  influence on the adoption of the Lightning Network.
• 43:39
  I'm going to say the same thing about Elon.
• 43:43
  I might not like that he supports Doge.
• 43:48
  It might not like that he's still, for some reason or the
• 43:52
  other, right him. Bitcoin is a humility test.
• 43:54
  He still hasn't integrated Bitcoin into his platform.
• 43:59
  He's still taking a stance towards freedom of speech.
• 44:03
  So in response to the Brazilian government's request, he says we
• 44:09
  are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive
• 44:12
  fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to
• 44:17
  X in Brazil. As a result, we will probably
• 44:19
  lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office
• 44:22
  there. But principles matter more than
• 44:25
  profit. All right, of course.
• 44:29
  Here's Elon Musk on Twitter. You know, he has the X thing.
• 44:32
  It's just free speech. Free speech for the people of
• 44:34
  Earth. Here is a very, very famous
• 44:38
  interview that he did not too long ago.
• 44:40
  I'll I'll let you guys check it out.
• 44:45
  You know, I'm reminded of there's a scene in The Princess
• 44:53
  Bride great movie where he confronts the person who killed
• 45:00
  his father and he says offer me money, offer me power.
• 45:13
  I don't care. So you just don't care.
• 45:21
  You want to share what you have to say.
• 45:24
  I'll say what I want to say and if, if, if, the consequence.
• 45:27
  Of that is losing money, so be it.
• 45:30
  OK. Of course there's this also very
• 45:34
  famous interview where he you know there was Disney was
• 45:39
  threatening to cut the advertising for X and he said he
• 45:42
  basically just said F you. So again, however, which way you
• 45:47
  feel about Elon as an individual, specifically related
• 45:52
  to Doge, specifically related for his continued resistance to
• 45:57
  integrating Bitcoin into the platform.
• 46:02
  But at the end of the day, I think he's done a tremendous
• 46:05
  amount for the free speech movement worldwide because of
• 46:09
  the amount of people that are on X currently.
• 46:14
  Not to mention the fact that Tesla is the third largest
• 46:19
  public company that currently holds Bitcoin.
• 46:22
  Even that, with all the Doge shenanigans and all that
• 46:25
  bullshit, the case that I would make to you guys is if he's
• 46:31
  really serious about this, the more he pushes, the more
• 46:36
  resistance he's going to encounter, and the more
• 46:40
  resistance he's going to encounter.
• 46:43
  He is just one man. Remember when Twitter was in the
• 46:50
  leadership of other people, it went down the censorship route.
• 46:57
  So what happens, for whatever reason, if Twitter can't pay
• 47:00
  their bills, they go out of business.
• 47:02
  They go in a band, it goes into another hand, that there we go,
• 47:05
  step one, we're back to stage one.
• 47:09
  We can't rely on centralized platforms to communicate.
• 47:15
  Full stop. Can't do it.
• 47:18
  We can't rely on centralized platforms to make payments.
• 47:23
  We can't rely on centralized platforms to separate money from
• 47:29
  state. We can't rely on centralized
• 47:32
  platforms to separate information and the state.
• 47:37
  You can't do it. If it is centralized, it will
• 47:39
  inevitably be Co opted by government.
• 47:44
  This is why the four cores are so important.
• 47:46
  This is why the block sizes remaining what they are today
• 47:52
  were so important. Because if you increase the
• 47:55
  block size, you increase the resource requirements.
• 47:57
  If you increase the resource requirements, less people
• 48:00
  running loads, less people running nodes means a central a
• 48:03
  potential centralization of the of of nodes being run because
• 48:08
  people can't afford the hardware.
• 48:10
  So they start outsourcing it to servers and then it creates a
• 48:14
  situation like Ethereum, where the vast majority of of of
• 48:17
  Ethereum nodes, because they're so resource intensive, are run
• 48:21
  on AWS servers. Do you guys know that you guys
• 48:25
  want to look at who's running Ethereum?
• 48:27
  Like actually running Ethereum? Don't take a look at Vitalik.
• 48:29
  Let's take a look at Jeff Bezos. Anyways, so that's the deal
• 48:34
  there. Now very interesting thoughts
• 48:37
  over at Noster. This is Primal.
• 48:40
  It's a Primal's, an app that interacts with the, you know,
• 48:42
  the Noster protocol. Highly recommended.
• 48:44
  Huge fan of Primal. They have a a Lightning wallet
• 48:47
  integrated. It's badass.
• 48:49
  Here's Odell. And Odell is interesting because
• 48:52
  Odell has completely just left Twitter altogether.
• 48:55
  He's really taking the stance and he said live without
• 48:59
  permission, Noster only. And of course, he's reacting to
• 49:04
  the initial post by X, basically going along with the request by
• 49:10
  the Brazilian government to censor certain accounts.
• 49:14
  Now Elon backtracked and he said, you know what, Actually
• 49:16
  we're not going to do that. And then into it was announced
• 49:19
  on Sunday and this is still a developing story that the
• 49:23
  Brazilian government, it looks like they're going to block the
• 49:26
  platform altogether. And now where we are in the
• 49:28
  story is people are advocating for VPNs and stuff so that
• 49:32
  Brazilians can still access X without it being blocked.
• 49:38
  So I'll, I'll pass it on to you guys, right.
• 49:41
  And the next one I want to read is from Beauty On.
• 49:44
  Do you think, Do you really think that if these politicians
• 49:51
  and bureaucrats can't help themselves but to censor you for
• 49:58
  what you have to say, do you think they're going to be OK
• 50:04
  with you using a money that they can't debase or control?
• 50:12
  Leave it up to you guys. What do you think?
• 50:18
  We have to stand our ground when it comes to free speech.
• 50:24
  Because if we don't, bitcoins next.
• 50:27
  Now, of course they're going to have a hard time.
• 50:29
  They're going to have a hard time with Noster.
• 50:32
  But I like where I live. I don't want to have to, you
• 50:37
  know, be a fugitive for writing down 12 words.
• 50:42
  And the way that you do that is by spreading the truth, putting
• 50:47
  a light of truth on this. Because here's the thing, I
• 50:50
  don't think the Brazilian populace is is aware of this.
• 50:54
  Why are they so afraid of information?
• 51:01
  If you have to censor, you've already run out of arguments.
• 51:06
  You don't have a good argument to rebuke whatever is being
• 51:10
  said. It's a lot easier to just
• 51:14
  disappear what is being said about what your actions are.
• 51:19
  It's a lot easier for governments to make that go away
• 51:23
  than to actually acknowledge what they're doing.
• 51:28
  Because the reality is, I think that if most people were made
• 51:32
  aware of what they were doing, they wouldn't be OK with it.
• 51:37
  Which is why they're so hell bent on censoring in the first
• 51:40
  place. This is information narrative
• 51:45
  trench warfare that is happening in the battlegrounds of the
• 51:48
  Internet. This is the 4th torn turning.
• 51:50
  This is our World War 2 moment. It's just information warfare.
• 51:56
  It's very different. It's not kinetic, but it's the
• 51:59
  same thing. They're trying to accomplish the
• 52:01
  same thing. Here's beauty on, beauty On is
• 52:04
  the founder of us, Tecco. Love the guy.
• 52:07
  Have we've had him on the show many times.
• 52:08
  He has amazing takes. He says Bitcoin is more
• 52:11
  important than social networks and is more powerful tool to
• 52:15
  keep governments obedient. That's a really good point.
• 52:20
  Governments think that they can regulate Bitcoin, but when all
• 52:24
  of this is said and done, it's going to be Bitcoin that
• 52:28
  regulates government. Now Beauty On continues to say
• 52:32
  that Elon can't see this is truly remarkable.
• 52:36
  He could turn X into a tool that can actually control Brazil,
• 52:41
  rather than it just being an irritant. 100%.
• 52:47
  Adopt freedom protocols. Adopt freedom protocols.
• 52:53
  Now, if Elon is as smart as we think he is, if he's able to eat
• 53:01
  the humble pie, all roads lead to Bitcoin, all roads lead to
• 53:06
  Noster. It's an inevitable truth and
• 53:10
  this is already happening. Bitcoin is already being used as
• 53:15
  a tool for dissidents. This is a no BS post.
• 53:21
  The headline is the Bitcoin revolution in Iran.
• 53:24
  It goes on to say This report explains the increasing use of
• 53:27
  Bitcoin by Iranians, a population facing economic
• 53:31
  challenges and censorship by the regime and foreign powers.
• 53:36
  The goal is to depict how Bitcoin serves as a tool for
• 53:39
  protecting freedoms and preserving value in a complex
• 53:43
  economic and political context. My goal goes on to say, quote My
• 53:48
  goal is not to assess the justifications for international
• 53:51
  sanctions, but to provide you with a more precise insight into
• 53:56
  the daily life of Iranians in an economic context.
• 53:59
  Under embargo and geopolitical influences.
• 54:03
  Quote, we don't even have access to the global financial system,
• 54:06
  and many everyday routines that young people and wealthy
• 54:09
  countries take for granted are inaccessible to us.
• 54:12
  For instance, our access to Spotify is limited.
• 54:16
  Many might find this amusing, but we are fighting two enemies,
• 54:20
  The internal enemy, which has imposed numerous restrictions on
• 54:24
  us and deprived deprived us of our freedom, and the foreign
• 54:28
  enemy whose sanctions have directly affected the lives of
• 54:31
  ordinary people. It may be hard to believe, but
• 54:34
  having access to free Internet has become a major goal for us.
• 54:39
  Now it's interesting that they mentioned enemy twice.
• 54:46
  They mentioned the foreign enemy and they mentioned the internal
• 54:49
  enemy. Do you think that the average
• 54:54
  everyday person here in the US cares about whether the average
• 55:01
  everyday person in Iran has access to Spotify, has the
• 55:06
  ability to have a bank account or not?
• 55:10
  I would even go on a brand. I would even go on a limb and
• 55:12
  say I think most people would want the average everyday person
• 55:16
  in Iran to have access to those things.
• 55:21
  But when they're talking about internal and external enemy,
• 55:24
  they're talking about governments.
• 55:29
  That's what they're talking about.
• 55:31
  And this is what the separation of money in state is all about,
• 55:36
  is what is the role of government in your life?
• 55:42
  Has it made your life better, like what Naim Bukele is doing
• 55:45
  in El Salvador, which I think is what the actual role of
• 55:48
  government is? Or is it trying to enslave you
• 55:52
  to benefit a few at the top, which I think really is what's
• 55:59
  in the process of what's happening here in the United
• 56:01
  States? And then how do you fix this
• 56:06
  issue? Well, you metaphorically attack
• 56:11
  the root cause of all of this, which is the mechanism of which
• 56:16
  they they fund all of this stuff in the 1st place, the endless
• 56:20
  wars and all of that. The money printer.
• 56:25
  This is what the separation of money in state is all about.
• 56:28
  If you take away their ability to print money out of thin air,
• 56:34
  and they could only pay for things via the revenue that they
• 56:38
  raise through direct taxation, all of a sudden those
• 56:45
  politicians that don't really care what you have to say, all
• 56:48
  of a sudden they're going to start caring a lot more because
• 56:52
  you're their source of revenue. But as long as the money printer
• 56:55
  exists, they don't have an incentive to care.
• 57:01
  Why would they? And then this leads me to my
• 57:04
  final point. Things don't change when
• 57:08
  governments realize they can't stop Bitcoin.
• 57:12
  Things change when the populist realize that their government
• 57:16
  can't stop Bitcoin. So I'll pass it back on to you
• 57:22
  guys. Don't ask what Bitcoin could do
• 57:26
  for you. Ask what you can do for Bitcoin
• 57:31
  and get yourself in the game. Take self custody.
• 57:34
  Get the people around you to take self custody.
• 57:36
  And that's how things will change.
• 57:38
  Like yes, we all want number to go up.
• 57:41
  Yes, we all want to get wealthy. I think, you know, I think it's
• 57:45
  naive to say that we don't. But there's something much
• 57:49
  bigger at play here. There's a revolution happening
• 57:53
  and you can either choose to ignore it or you can choose to
• 57:57
  be a part of it. And the crazy part about the
• 57:59
  Bitcoin revolution, the crazy part about, you know, the
• 58:02
  separation of money and state, unlike the separation of church
• 58:05
  and state and all those things that came before it is that this
• 58:08
  doesn't this doesn't have to be a kinetic, violent thing.
• 58:12
  All it all that is required is used to say like look like your
• 58:16
  dollars are cool and all and stuff, but I would prefer to use
• 58:21
  the money that doesn't steal from me and I would prefer to
• 58:24
  use the money that I have complete control over.
• 58:26
  Full stop. Right.
• 58:28
  So shout out to Elon for taking a stance in Brazil and shout out
• 58:34
  for him taking a stance with you know, with this whole freedom
• 58:38
  movement on Twitter and making about free speech.
• 58:43
  But also shame on Elon Musk for not adopting the right tools to
• 58:49
  ensure that if he fails as an individual, you know, this this
• 58:55
  thing keeps rolling on. Because that's what that's what
• 58:58
  these protocols are all about. That's what Odell pointed out.
• 59:00
  Like, don't ask permission. Like that's the whole point of
• 59:03
  it. So you don't have to ask
• 59:05
  permission. That's the whole point of
• 59:06
  Bitcoin. You don't have to ask permission
• 59:09
  and download a node. Get yourself a minor You can
• 59:12
  take your Bitcoin into cold storage.
• 59:14
  That's what it's about. Permission list systems, rules
• 59:18
  without rulers. And if enough people get on this
• 59:22
  system, then again, that whole model, that whole model of
• 59:27
  these, you know, these governments and the things that
• 59:29
  they're doing and the wars and this, all of that goes away.
• 59:34
  But we have to wake enough people up before that happens
• 59:37
  anyways. Opti.
• 59:39
  Yeah, sorry, I was giving someone admin rights right now.
• 59:42
  Yeah man. First and foremost, like I
• 59:45
  always say, the more countries or the more institutions attack
• 59:49
  free speech, the more I know that they're afraid.
• 59:51
  And we're on the right track. Remember again referencing Mike
• 59:55
  Benz and and highly recommend you go watch the tower Carlson,
• 59:58
  Mike Benz interview. The state powers were not ready
• 1:00:02
  for the rise of social media and now they are clamoring for the
• 1:00:06
  control of narratives because that's all they really have.
• 1:00:08
  Remember what? Fiat.
• 1:00:09
  Literally. Really means.
• 1:00:10
  It means by decree. So the corporate world, the Fiat
• 1:00:13
  world, literally means basically listen to what I say because,
• 1:00:16
  you know, we'll put you in a cage and we got the guys with
• 1:00:19
  guns. So you're seeing right now in
• 1:00:22
  real time that the more the powers that be lose control of
• 1:00:26
  propagating their memes, the more they're going to attack the
• 1:00:30
  people. Hold on, hold on a second.
• 1:00:31
  There's someone in the chat saying BTC has no value.
• 1:00:35
  Do you think Blackbuck is going to bend them?
• 1:00:37
  OK, what I got to say about this is like, bro, OK, cool, like
• 1:00:40
  don't buy it then. Like that.
• 1:00:42
  That's what I got to say. It's like if you think, if you
• 1:00:44
  think you're right, right. If you think you're right,
• 1:00:46
  appreciate you tuning into the show and and commenting.
• 1:00:49
  It helps with engagement. But if you think you're right,
• 1:00:53
  then OK then don't buy Bitcoin. Just stay on the sidelines and
• 1:00:56
  let's have a conversation. In five to 10 years, 2017, Larry
• 1:01:01
  Fink was literally saying that Bitcoin is an index for money
• 1:01:04
  laundering. Fast forward a couple of years
• 1:01:07
  later, he's going on national TV saying all the Bitcoin talking
• 1:01:12
  points. So that's literally him bending
• 1:01:15
  the knee. So again, if you wanna take your
• 1:01:18
  stance and say you know this is what is a Bitcoin's just a fart
• 1:01:22
  in the wind, in the world economy and like whatever.
• 1:01:25
  Also showing XRP in the chat. Nico, bro.
• 1:01:27
  No, no. Great, great.
• 1:01:28
  OK, dude, you you do, you you do you You stick with XRP and your
• 1:01:33
  shit coin and you do whatever. I'm gonna stick with Bitcoin.
• 1:01:37
  I'm a freedom, Max. You get to do whatever you'd
• 1:01:39
  like. Let's have a conversation in
• 1:01:41
  five years and let's see how that worked out for you,
• 1:01:43
  brother, OK? That's that's my stance on it,
• 1:01:45
  Opti. Good.
• 1:01:48
  I forgot where I was going. So I'll go to my next point.
• 1:01:51
  What we're seeing though in real time is that trust in
• 1:01:54
  institutions, trust in legacy corporate media is dwindling.
• 1:02:00
  I think I just saw a statistic this morning that viewership on
• 1:02:03
  television, listeners on radio, and also viewership of news in
• 1:02:08
  itself is at all time lows right now.
• 1:02:11
  So it just goes to show back to what I was kind of touching on
• 1:02:13
  before that literally, you know, he's.
• 1:02:16
  Saying also another thing is like guys like don't like, you
• 1:02:19
  know, we like don't block people.
• 1:02:21
  Like let him speak like it's fine.
• 1:02:24
  Like, let him say his points. Like, look, I'm telling you
• 1:02:27
  dude, like if you want to, you know, stick on the hill and
• 1:02:33
  like, like, you want to stick to Black Rock and you say Bitcoin
• 1:02:37
  is a fart in the ruin of the economy and you want to say all
• 1:02:39
  these things, dude, like, go for it.
• 1:02:41
  Like you are perfectly in your right to do whatever you want.
• 1:02:45
  I don't care. Look, someone's saying XRP doges
• 1:02:48
  better do it. Go for it.
• 1:02:50
  He's trolling. He's trolling.
• 1:02:51
  But what I'm going to tell you from experience is you're going
• 1:02:54
  to get hashtag wrecked over time.
• 1:02:56
  That's totally up to you, right? I'm telling you it's it's your
• 1:03:00
  choice. Like you want to do that to
• 1:03:02
  yourself. That's fine, right?
• 1:03:04
  But anyways. Yeah.
• 1:03:06
  So as I was saying, you know, trust and institution does at an
• 1:03:10
  all time low is because people, whether they know it inherently
• 1:03:15
  or whether they know it consciously like most bit
• 1:03:17
  corners or subconsciously, they're starting to see that
• 1:03:21
  everything on legacy media is basically propaganda war and
• 1:03:25
  that legitimacy is starting to dwindle and people are on the
• 1:03:31
  Fiat side, you know on the the institution side they're
• 1:03:33
  freaking out. And then people on the flip
• 1:03:36
  side, they're looking for alternatives and they're
• 1:03:37
  starting to wake up. They're starting to realize what
• 1:03:40
  the game is, that the game is rigged and that they need to
• 1:03:43
  find alternatives. Han Sois, today's theme of the
• 1:03:45
  show is, is using the freedom protocols because the powers
• 1:03:49
  that be we're not ready for the for the Internet, the rise of
• 1:03:52
  social media. They're not ready for Bitcoin.
• 1:03:55
  Again, governments can't compete on the free market.
• 1:03:58
  They they always lag. They they just, they literally
• 1:04:01
  government pretty much make everything worse unless you're
• 1:04:03
  doing something like Bukele where he's just basically
• 1:04:05
  securing property rights. And so you know, again
• 1:04:09
  connecting this with Elon, say what you want about Elon, but he
• 1:04:13
  has been saying a lot of the things that we were saying.
• 1:04:15
  You know, Nico brought up that video.
• 1:04:17
  I'm reminded of the interview he just did with Don Lemon.
• 1:04:20
  And I thought it was super interesting because he says what
• 1:04:22
  we say all the time like free speech doesn't matter if you
• 1:04:25
  don't let people you disagree with speak their minds.
• 1:04:28
  And historically guys, if you study any bit of history, you'll
• 1:04:32
  understand that we've seen what happens when free speech gets
• 1:04:35
  repressed and it doesn't end well for humans.
• 1:04:37
  It usually ends in a lot of human suffering and death.
• 1:04:41
  And so I would much rather. What's up?
• 1:04:43
  Got one quote like I may not agree with what you say, but but
• 1:04:46
  I'd fight too that the the death to let you speak it.
• 1:04:49
  You see what happens when the institutions, the ruling power
• 1:04:53
  at the time, starts to suppress freedom of speech.
• 1:04:57
  It usually ends in a very bad situation.
• 1:05:01
  And this is what we're trying to protect here.
• 1:05:02
  This is why we are such adamant free speech Maxis.
• 1:05:06
  This is why we're such adamant free market Maxis is because we
• 1:05:09
  understand that that is how you allow for the most human
• 1:05:12
  flourishing possible, is for people to basically hate these
• 1:05:17
  ideas, to have these open discussions and realize who's an
• 1:05:20
  idiot and who actually is aligning with the reality, with
• 1:05:24
  with true nature. And this is what we're seeing in
• 1:05:26
  real time. You know, you guys can say
• 1:05:28
  whatever you want about Bitcoin, but everyone that I know that
• 1:05:30
  has adopted a Bitcoin standard for themselves is usually living
• 1:05:34
  a better life. And This is why, you know, the
• 1:05:36
  meme of myself of Optimus fields.
• 1:05:38
  It's like before Bitcoin it was pessimistic fields.
• 1:05:41
  I didn't see any hope at the end of the tunnel.
• 1:05:43
  I was nihilistic. I I just, I was just trying to
• 1:05:47
  get by. Now as a Bitcoin, you can start
• 1:05:49
  to see the future and realize, oh, my life will get better.
• 1:05:52
  So if Elon really believes what he's saying and and part of me
• 1:05:57
  is like I I I seen Elon talk about Bitcoin I think he kind of
• 1:06:01
  gets it. I think he just likes to troll
• 1:06:03
  and then I think he is is he just really hates when bit
• 1:06:06
  corners start yelling at him about Bitcoin and so he probably
• 1:06:09
  just does it to troll bit corners.
• 1:06:11
  But I think if Elon did add Bitcoin natively into Twitter
• 1:06:15
  and added some kind of like Noster ZAP feature, that would
• 1:06:18
  most likely be the biggest driver of adoption for Bitcoin
• 1:06:21
  in the world. That would free up capital to
• 1:06:24
  flow to all individual tools that are using Twitter.
• 1:06:28
  And if they're providing value, they will get sat in return.
• 1:06:31
  And this is what we're saying about using the freedom
• 1:06:34
  protocols because you cannot stop Bitcoin, they can't stop
• 1:06:38
  the Internet. Yes, they go out and they, you
• 1:06:40
  know, like the Brazilian government, they try to stop
• 1:06:43
  Internet, try to stop the free flow of information.
• 1:06:45
  But truth wants to be set free. So we'll find roundabout ways to
• 1:06:51
  route around the centralized control mechanisms.
• 1:06:54
  Bitcoin will always find a way to route around the institutions
• 1:06:58
  and powers that be, because it's unstoppable, it's decentralized.
• 1:07:01
  No one can stop Bitcoin. It's literally a feature.
• 1:07:04
  It is censorship resistant money.
• 1:07:06
  It's a way to send value to anyone at any time, for whatever
• 1:07:11
  reason you want to. And no one can stop that.
• 1:07:14
  And that's the beauty of what Bitcoin is doing.
• 1:07:17
  And then Nico, while you were talking, I sat there this
• 1:07:20
  morning and was reading Balaji's Twitter, you know, say what you
• 1:07:23
  want about Balaji, but he's having very good commentary on
• 1:07:27
  Twitter recently. And I really like this and it
• 1:07:29
  and it it circles back into what you've been saying today and
• 1:07:32
  this is a great tweet by Balaji. Here, let me pull this up.
• 1:07:35
  And he goes the Latin American Lee Kuan Yew who was the 1st
• 1:07:39
  Prime Minister of Singapore, goes President.
• 1:07:41
  Bukele's recipe for success is simple low crime, hard currency,
• 1:07:45
  great aesthetics and top talent. He built his state capacity from
• 1:07:49
  scratch and is now a role model for the ascending world.
• 1:07:52
  This is the American president I respect and it kind of goes to
• 1:07:56
  something that Nico and I say all the time here, is that the
• 1:08:00
  Bitcoin is proliferating the American ideals for every
• 1:08:05
  citizen on planet Earth. And all they have to do is opt
• 1:08:09
  out of their nation state and join the global revolution that
• 1:08:13
  is happening on the Internet. And this is what Bitcoin allows
• 1:08:16
  for everyone. And it's just it's beautiful to
• 1:08:19
  be a part of. And you know, I, I, I love all
• 1:08:21
  the haters that say, you know, Bitcoin has no value.
• 1:08:25
  You know, whatever the power that bees can shut down Bitcoin,
• 1:08:28
  it's been running 15 years strong trying to try to stop
• 1:08:30
  Bitcoin. It can't.
• 1:08:32
  Now we'll go after the big bosses, which are the US trying
• 1:08:35
  to stop Bitcoin and the Bank of International Settlements trying
• 1:08:38
  to stop Bitcoin. But literally by its design, it
• 1:08:41
  cannot be stopped because every one of us was taking Bitcoin
• 1:08:44
  into custody running nodes, or at least a small majority or a
• 1:08:48
  small minority of us are running the nodes.
• 1:08:50
  But what what? I forget about the number, but
• 1:08:53
  like 70% plus of all Bitcoin as of this point are in cold
• 1:08:58
  storage. So it's outside of the
• 1:09:00
  centralized attack vectors and it's just beautiful to see.
• 1:09:04
  As Bitcoin starts to break into the six number figures, it's
• 1:09:09
  really going to take on a life of its own.
• 1:09:11
  And I'm reminded of what Marty Bent was telling us last week.
• 1:09:14
  You know, Bitcoin is the 5th largest base money in the world,
• 1:09:17
  and it's barely past a trillion dollar market cap right now.
• 1:09:21
  It's like I I love when when people say they don't like
• 1:09:25
  Bitcoin, it's not real, has no value.
• 1:09:27
  And I'm like man, you know, humans act purposely and we are
• 1:09:34
  trading our time and our energy for Bitcoin because we see value
• 1:09:38
  in something that is censorship resistance, that cannot be
• 1:09:41
  stopped, that has 10 minute final settlement and you know
• 1:09:45
  you'll get Bitcoin at the price that you deserve.
• 1:09:46
  So hopefully you protect yourselves, your friends and
• 1:09:49
  your family and you stack Bitcoin and you try to spread
• 1:09:51
  the Bitcoin memes so that they wake up out of the matrix, out
• 1:09:54
  of being cattle or chattel rather, and free themselves by
• 1:09:58
  just saving them Bitcoin. It's super easy.
• 1:10:00
  Amen to that guys. Also for the mods in the chat,
• 1:10:03
  could you please re enable JS? Yes I know he he has differences
• 1:10:09
  of opinion. He believes XRP is the way.
• 1:10:13
  OK, bro. I mean like you know, like like
• 1:10:17
  like let's let the free market decide.
• 1:10:20
  Like, you know, like put your money where your.
• 1:10:21
  Mouth is. I usually only delete spam
• 1:10:24
  comments, but hey, when they're misguided, it's an opportunity
• 1:10:27
  to teach them. Guys like look like he believes,
• 1:10:30
  he knows what's up. We believe we know what's up.
• 1:10:32
  Like let you know, let the free market decide what's up, right.
• 1:10:36
  Like, you know, so like if it's spam, like, OK, you know, but I
• 1:10:41
  just, I I kind of went through all his comments and yeah, like
• 1:10:45
  obviously, you know, he feels differently than we do and
• 1:10:47
  that's totally OK, right. Anyways, I do want to give a
• 1:10:51
  very, very special shout out to and you know, of course, like as
• 1:10:56
  a bitcoiner, like I'm going to, I feel like he's going to have
• 1:10:58
  fun staying poor. But like that's totally, you
• 1:11:00
  know, like that's up to him. That's his, you know.
• 1:11:03
  That's his prerogative. Yeah, as Roman says, we got to
• 1:11:05
  farm the comments. All engagement is good
• 1:11:07
  engagement. No, I'm serious.
• 1:11:09
  Like dude like look if if if you truly, after all that's been the
• 1:11:13
  vast majority of XRP is held by XRP, it's held by Ripple.
• 1:11:17
  It's not a decentralized protocol like it.
• 1:11:19
  It like if and again not to mention the fact that it still
• 1:11:22
  hasn't made an all time high against Bitcoin.
• 1:11:25
  It's made maybe I think it's all.
• 1:11:26
  I don't even think it's made an all time high in dollar terms
• 1:11:28
  either, right? So I mean if you wanna go down
• 1:11:31
  with the ship, that's totally your prerogative.
• 1:11:33
  What we're saying is stay humble, stack Sats, enjoy NGU
• 1:11:37
  technology, but if you don't wanna do that, all right bro, so
• 1:11:40
  be it. Anyways, I do wanna give a shout
• 1:11:42
  out to the second layer of Bitcoin, the social layer of
• 1:11:46
  Bitcoin. And of course I'm talking about
• 1:11:48
  the orange Palap stack friends who stack Sats.
• 1:11:51
  Bitcoiners are gonna be some of the most influential and
• 1:11:54
  powerful people in the next 5 to 10 years.
• 1:11:58
  As number go up, technology does its thing.
• 1:12:01
  It's probably a good idea to grow that bitcoiner rolodex of
• 1:12:05
  yours and also if you're in a new city and you don't know
• 1:12:09
  anyone around, the Orange Pull app is for you.
• 1:12:11
  It's a perfect tool. You could pull up the Orange
• 1:12:13
  Pull app, it tells you bitcoiners around you to meet
• 1:12:16
  up. It's also the number one
• 1:12:18
  resource for creating Bitcoin only events and they have this
• 1:12:22
  really clever filtration system so that there's no alt coiners
• 1:12:26
  or spammers on the platform. So I highly recommend the Orange
• 1:12:30
  Pull app. Opti and I are there.
• 1:12:31
  There's a simply Bitcoin group chat in there as well.
• 1:12:34
  If you want to reach Opti and I very, very quickly, you can join
• 1:12:37
  it. I'm an advisor.
• 1:12:38
  Highly recommend the orange pull up guys.

  This is where I personally buy my Bitcoin Mining A6 at Kaboom
• 1:13:41
  racks. All right, Opti, So let's let's
• 1:13:45
  have like a little like a discussion.
• 1:13:47
  Let's zoom it out a little bit and let's talk about our
• 1:13:50
  adventures in El Salvador. But first, I think you should
• 1:13:52
  show everybody the world that you won.
• 1:13:56
  You have it with you. Yeah, I got it right here.
• 1:13:59
  All right, all right, guys. So apparently I won an award at
• 1:14:04
  the having party and I'll show it here, here, full screen
• 1:14:08
  meeting, Nico. And so for you guys that didn't
• 1:14:12
  see on Twitter, I won. I forget what the official title
• 1:14:15
  was, but the title award that I won was most rejected by Miss El
• 1:14:20
  Salvador. So you know, hey, shooter's
• 1:14:22
  going to shoot. It is what it is boys.
• 1:14:24
  Anyways, I won this Bitcoin boxing vinyl with Dori Nakamoto
• 1:14:30
  on it. Absolutely love it.
• 1:14:31
  And you guys could see here rejected by Miss El Salvador,
• 1:14:34
  Miss Bitcoin. It's got a name Alejandra, and
• 1:14:36
  it goes 956555 rejected at block height of 837,925.
• 1:14:43
  And then it says don't call me with a little hard emoji.
• 1:14:46
  Yeah, so apparently I won an award.
• 1:14:50
  Boys, this is what happens when you go hang out with the meme
• 1:14:53
  factor. They troll you.
• 1:14:55
  But yeah, you know, I miss El Salvador's lovely.
• 1:14:57
  It's great. It's all in good fun.
• 1:15:01
  Had a blast. I enjoyed El Salvador.
• 1:15:03
  How does it feel, you know? By central bankers now misses
• 1:15:09
  well. You know, I think to be fair,
• 1:15:11
  the central bankers loved me since I had an ex-girlfriend by
• 1:15:15
  the name of Christine Lagarde. But apparently, you know, the
• 1:15:18
  the young women don't like me. So hey, you know, you you gotta
• 1:15:22
  you gotta get in where you fit in, Nico.
• 1:15:23
  You gotta get in where you fill in.
• 1:15:25
  So it is what it is. Good.
• 1:15:27
  That was good. It's all in good fun.
• 1:15:29
  You know, again, you know, my ego can only take so much.
• 1:15:31
  Nico, let's let's move on to the next topic here and well dude,
• 1:15:36
  like you're only. For the stars, central bankers.
• 1:15:39
  Mrs. El Salvador. You know, like we got MJ Mack
• 1:15:43
  from Axis. Classic.
• 1:15:45
  Man, you pulled it away. My bad.
• 1:15:47
  My dad. All good.
• 1:15:47
  All good. Right here.
• 1:15:48
  Classic Manly to get rejected. Take a shot.
• 1:15:51
  I'm the wing. Rest of Bitcoin.
• 1:15:53
  Can't make shots unless you take shots.
• 1:15:55
  Okay. So anyway, he says Opti's award
• 1:15:59
  is awesome. Great gift.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah. OK, So I do want to kind of do
• 1:16:04
  like a debrief of El Salvador, OK?
• 1:16:08
  And it's great. I'm really happy that we covered
• 1:16:13
  the the news from Brazil because it like offers a Matthew Jay
• 1:16:18
  simply rejected. I'm glad that we covered the
• 1:16:22
  news from Brazil because it offers like a like a you know,
• 1:16:26
  compare and contrast type of thing.
• 1:16:29
  So here's Naim Bukele and he says we're offering 5000 free
• 1:16:33
  passports, equivalent to $5 billion in our passport program,
• 1:16:37
  to highly skilled scientists, engineers, doctors, artists and
• 1:16:41
  philosophers from abroad. This represents less than .1% of
• 1:16:44
  our population, so granting them full citizen status, including
• 1:16:48
  voting rights, pose no issue. Despite the small number, their
• 1:16:52
  contributions will have a huge impact on our society, the
• 1:16:55
  future of our country. Plus, we will facilitate the
• 1:16:57
  relocation by ensuring 0% taxes and tariffs on moving families
• 1:17:01
  and assets. This includes commercial value
• 1:17:03
  items like equipment, software and intellectual property.
• 1:17:06
  Stay tuned for more details. I mean, look, I felt this on the
• 1:17:11
  ground as soon as I landed. There's a couple things that I
• 1:17:14
  wanted to verify. So one of the rumors was that
• 1:17:17
  you can pay for the immigration fee in Bitcoin.
• 1:17:21
  Not only could you pay it in Bitcoin, I paid my immigration
• 1:17:24
  fee was like $12.00. I paid for it in lightning.
• 1:17:26
  OK, so that was the first thing. Second thing is when I got side
• 1:17:30
  of outside of immigration, I started talking to people like
• 1:17:33
  crazy, like I'm bilingual. So you know, just starting
• 1:17:36
  starting conversations in Spanish, talking to people and I
• 1:17:39
  wanted to get a sense of #1, do people like Naimbu Kele or not?
• 1:17:45
  I didn't run into one person that talked.
• 1:17:47
  I'll of him. They all like Naimbu Kele and
• 1:17:50
  they liked him for security. They're like look like things
• 1:17:54
  were a disaster before he's brought security.
• 1:17:57
  Therefore I feel safe when I go outside.
• 1:17:59
  I'm able to run my business. Property rights are protected.
• 1:18:05
  Before it was essentially everything was controlled by
• 1:18:07
  gangs. Now on to the topic of Bitcoin.
• 1:18:11
  I'll be honest with you, the vast majority of people, El
• 1:18:15
  Salvadorians, the ones that I spoke to, like the everyday
• 1:18:18
  person, they're not really using Bitcoin.
• 1:18:20
  They're using, they're using dollars, like actually in cash,
• 1:18:26
  not even card. That's still like the thing that
• 1:18:30
  most people are using, I think. And and I had a pretty long
• 1:18:34
  conversation with with my Uber driver from the airport to my
• 1:18:37
  hotel and it's about like a 45 minute drive.
• 1:18:39
  I was like, why do you think that is?
• 1:18:41
  And he's like because of the volatility.
• 1:18:43
  He's like people get scared of the volatility and then, but
• 1:18:45
  it's really interesting because at the end he was like, yeah,
• 1:18:47
  but I started buying some because I saw a number go up and
• 1:18:51
  you know, I'm starting to experience it, but people got a
• 1:18:53
  little bit worried initially. Now that being said, at the
• 1:18:57
  resort that the having party was at the ME and Opti stayed at, I
• 1:19:03
  was able to pay. When I had to pay, I was able to
• 1:19:06
  pay for things in Lightning. They have like a little Chivo
• 1:19:08
  thing that you pull up and pulls up a lightning thing.
• 1:19:13
  Works every time, extremely quickly at the auction dinner
• 1:19:18
  that I was at with Max Stacy Lena Sish.
• 1:19:21
  And that's so funny, Bitcoin. An actual vinyl.
• 1:19:25
  It's an actual vinyl anyways. Keep going, Nika.
• 1:19:27
  With Lena Sish BTC Sessions, Max Stacy, Mike Germano was there
• 1:19:33
  from Bitcoin Magazine. I when you when we were paying
• 1:19:39
  for drinks. Guess what you could pay in
• 1:19:41
  lightning. So in terms of being able to pay
• 1:19:44
  for things and like the more kind of established places you
• 1:19:50
  can pay in Bitcoin, it's so cool.
• 1:19:52
  Not only can you pay in Bitcoin, you can pay in lightning.
• 1:19:54
  Like it is cool, super cool. Like I it's, I really like that
• 1:19:58
  a lot. Like it was surreal, like I
• 1:20:01
  couldn't believe it, right. You didn't have to go through
• 1:20:03
  this like conversion of like oh, I need dollars and I need this,
• 1:20:06
  I need that. But in terms of the the populace
• 1:20:10
  adopting it, not so far. I think it has to do mostly with
• 1:20:13
  the volatility. And I think it also has to do
• 1:20:16
  with the fact that the fact that this is a multi generational
• 1:20:21
  thing, like most people in Latin America, you're aiming to get
• 1:20:26
  dollars right like this. It's like the dollars are gold
• 1:20:29
  there. Like, people look up to that,
• 1:20:30
  right? And I think it's gonna take some
• 1:20:32
  time before people start to realize that Bitcoin is superior
• 1:20:37
  to dollars. And I think that's an
• 1:20:38
  educational thing. That's what meat premed Bitcoin
• 1:20:41
  is doing, by the way. They're teaching the next
• 1:20:43
  generation on how to use Bitcoin, how to custody Bitcoin.
• 1:20:48
  Obviously the dollars had a huge head start in this specific
• 1:20:52
  situation. Now on to the energy, the vibes
• 1:20:56
  of the place I've lived in, I've I've lived and I've spent
• 1:20:59
  considerable amount of time in multiple countries all around
• 1:21:02
  Latin America. The vibes were great, great
• 1:21:07
  energy. The people were respectful.
• 1:21:10
  The people were nice. The people were extremely
• 1:21:16
  generous. I remember one of the first days
• 1:21:19
  that I was there, my, like, my shoe broke, right?
• 1:21:23
  So I literally, I had to go get super glue.
• 1:21:26
  And I remember I went to the downstairs, I went to the hotel
• 1:21:28
  lobby and I said, hey, do you guys have super glue?
• 1:21:30
  And they said, no. But there's a store, like,
• 1:21:33
  there's a little bodega around the corner that you can find, go
• 1:21:35
  get super glue. Couldn't find it.
• 1:21:37
  So I got an Uber, got an Uber, and I said, hey, could you take
• 1:21:40
  me to get super glue? And he's like, yeah, sure.
• 1:21:41
  I think I know a place. We stopped in a little bodega on
• 1:21:45
  the side of the road and I went to when I'm like, kid, you have
• 1:21:48
  super glue. He gives me the Super glue and
• 1:21:50
  I'm like, do you take card? He's like, no, he's like, I'm
• 1:21:52
  like, do you take Bitcoin? He's like, no, I kid you not.
• 1:21:55
  The person next to me pulled out like 1/4 or a dollar out of his
• 1:22:00
  pocket and he paid for me. I'm a total stranger.
• 1:22:04
  That doesn't happen. That's that that's like not like
• 1:22:07
  a normal occurrence, right. So this is what I mean by energy
• 1:22:11
  and vibe. The energy is there.
• 1:22:13
  The vibe is there. The optimism is there.
• 1:22:16
  It is a country that survived a 30 year civil war.
• 1:22:21
  People are sick and tired of the violence and the bullshit and
• 1:22:25
  they're ready to move on. And this is what Nayeem Bukele
• 1:22:29
  and his government, this is what they're doing.
• 1:22:32
  I felt it. I see it and I think it's an
• 1:22:36
  inspiration for the countries in that region to follow in his
• 1:22:40
  footsteps because what he's doing there is great work, it's
• 1:22:46
  amazing work. Now all of that being said,
• 1:22:50
  there's a couple things. So thing number one is it's
• 1:22:53
  still a developing country without it's still developing
• 1:22:56
  country. If you get out of San Salvador,
• 1:23:00
  it's it's very rural, it's still developing, the roads are paved,
• 1:23:04
  right. But you can, you could tell that
• 1:23:06
  you are in a developing country if you guys never been, you got,
• 1:23:09
  if you guys have been to a developing country.
• 1:23:10
  You guys know what I'm talking about.
• 1:23:12
  However, there are very nice cars driving around, which is
• 1:23:16
  something that you don't see if a country is unsafe.
• 1:23:19
  So what do I mean by that? You'll see Mercedes, you'll see
• 1:23:22
  BMWs, I saw a Porsche Macon. So again I think we have a
• 1:23:27
  Doctor Albert in the chat. Yeah.
• 1:23:29
  So in the way from San Salvador to to the having party, the
• 1:23:35
  resort of the having party, we had to, we had to take like a
• 1:23:41
  road trip. It was like an hour and 35
• 1:23:43
  minutes, 40 minutes. We went with Doctor Albert who
• 1:23:46
  was on the show with us on, I believe on the Wednesday show
• 1:23:50
  with my wife with Sophie, and I asked him to give me a ride
• 1:23:52
  after the show. So we all kind of got into this
• 1:23:55
  like small little car. We all managed to fit, which is
• 1:23:59
  the good news. I didn't know if we were going
• 1:24:00
  to fit. And we went on an adventure and
• 1:24:05
  we literally just drove through the streets of San Salvador.
• 1:24:08
  And then we went to the rural areas on the way to the hotel.
• 1:24:12
  What happened? What was though, is that Doctor
• 1:24:14
  Albert, we just all forgot to put gas in the car.
• 1:24:19
  So it looks like we are going to run out of gas.
• 1:24:21
  And we started Googling Google mapping.
• 1:24:23
  Oh, another thing is that the whole country has service.
• 1:24:26
  So you can literally like go on your phone, you can text.
• 1:24:30
  That's another thing that sometimes that does.
• 1:24:32
  Sometimes that's not the case, right.
• 1:24:34
  So. Well, make up my my plan didn't
• 1:24:37
  work so I literally had no service, but that's besides the
• 1:24:39
  point. You got you gotta, you gotta,
• 1:24:41
  you gotta get on you gotta get on Verizon or AT&T.
• 1:24:43
  Dude, my my plan didn't work, but whatever.
• 1:24:46
  Keep going. So, yeah, So we were driving and
• 1:24:48
  we ran out of gas and we were going to run out of gas and
• 1:24:51
  there was no, like actual gas stations, but there was like
• 1:24:56
  these little gas stations that were like on the off roads.
• 1:25:00
  So what we did was we went on one of the off roads, and it was
• 1:25:03
  not paved. And we were starting on rocks
• 1:25:05
  and it was like, whatever. And we went up to this group of
• 1:25:09
  kids. We pulled down the window and I
• 1:25:10
  said, hey, guys, is there a gas station?
• 1:25:12
  They're like, yeah, well, you can get gas.
• 1:25:13
  It's over there. So we kept driving.
• 1:25:15
  And there was a kid in a bicycle that actually showed us the way.
• 1:25:18
  He's like, yeah, just follow me. Look, I'm telling you, usually
• 1:25:22
  you do not do this. It's a bad idea, right?
• 1:25:26
  But I but I felt safe. There's something about El
• 1:25:28
  Salvador that I felt safe while I was there.
• 1:25:30
  I never felt unsafe. That's usually not the case in a
• 1:25:35
  lot of these countries. And it's a feeling that comes.
• 1:25:40
  It's an innate feeling. It's a feeling that comes.
• 1:25:43
  There's a part of you that's like something is off here and
• 1:25:47
  you know that you're in a in a not a good situation.
• 1:25:51
  I never got that feeling one time, right?
• 1:25:55
  So we follow, you know, this kid on a bike and he takes us up
• 1:25:58
  this path and, you know, this is kind of like this rock road to
• 1:26:03
  like this little house. And we pull up and it's like a
• 1:26:05
  little store. And we ask the person, do you
• 1:26:08
  sell gas? And the guy's like, yeah.
• 1:26:11
  So you know, they get a funnel and it's not like a little hose
• 1:26:14
  with the gas station. Little gets a funnel.
• 1:26:16
  And he's like, how many gallons do you want?
• 1:26:18
  We're like 2 gallons. So he fills up those, like,
• 1:26:20
  water, gallon jug things. And he literally takes the
• 1:26:23
  gallon, jug things, puts it in the funnel and puts gas in the
• 1:26:27
  car like the old fashioned way, right.
• 1:26:30
  The gas is purple. I don't know if gas is supposed
• 1:26:32
  to be purple. We didn't know if it was gas.
• 1:26:34
  Maybe it's like a mixture of things, many ways.
• 1:26:36
  The point being is that in any other country, in any other
• 1:26:39
  country, I would, if I would have done this, I would have
• 1:26:42
  felt unsafe the entire time. I would have been like,
• 1:26:44
  actually, let's let's not do this.
• 1:26:47
  That wasn't the case at all in El Salvador.
• 1:26:50
  And I think that's a testament to not only Naimbu Kele's
• 1:26:54
  government, but also what is actually happening there on an
• 1:27:00
  energy level, on a social level, on a spiritual level.
• 1:27:04
  I'm going to go there because I felt it.
• 1:27:06
  I felt it when I was there. There's something special
• 1:27:10
  happening in El Salvador. And I think you're really going
• 1:27:13
  to start to see the results of this in the next 5 to 10 years.
• 1:27:18
  So that is my El Salvador debrief.
• 1:27:20
  That's my experience. I'm definitely going to go back,
• 1:27:23
  especially San Salvador. I really kind of, I just, I want
• 1:27:26
  to go there. I want to see what's happening,
• 1:27:29
  but there's something special happening and I don't think it's
• 1:27:32
  a coincidence that again, Naimbu Kele is the most popular
• 1:27:37
  president in the Americas and also that El Salvador made
• 1:27:41
  Bitcoin legal tender. I don't think that those things
• 1:27:44
  are a coincidence. I think that they that there is
• 1:27:48
  some type of relation, but that's my that's my debrief.
• 1:27:52
  Anyways, Opti, we are running extremely fucking long today.
• 1:27:54
  I just want to just chime in on, you know, one thing and then and
• 1:27:58
  really just give a shout out to the meme factory.
• 1:28:00
  But to Nikos point, you know, I went down to El Zante I believe
• 1:28:03
  mid 2022 and I didn't actually get a chance to get into El
• 1:28:08
  Zante again this time because I got in Wednesday night and left
• 1:28:11
  Saturday morning really early. But from what I saw from the
• 1:28:15
  videos and the stories that I heard, it's improved so much,
• 1:28:19
  like paved all the streets the the city seems to be busting.
• 1:28:22
  It's like a small village, you know, it's like a little small
• 1:28:25
  fishing village and everyone's telling me he's like, man, dude,
• 1:28:28
  the pay, the streets are paved and I remember when I was there
• 1:28:30
  a few years ago, they were just starting to get the roads paved.
• 1:28:33
  Most of the roads were dirt roads.
• 1:28:35
  And this time around, from the videos that I saw again, I
• 1:28:38
  wasn't able to fully verify this, but from I watched one of
• 1:28:41
  Eric Stack's videos, the roads were paved.
• 1:28:43
  It's like brand new roads. And the the conversations that
• 1:28:48
  Nico and I were having with people that you know are part of
• 1:28:50
  the Bitcoin world, but also are are living in El Salvador and
• 1:28:54
  they're El Salvadorians. The the amount of safety that
• 1:28:58
  they were telling us, some of the stories they were telling
• 1:29:00
  us, we were, it was blowing our minds of just like how bad it
• 1:29:04
  really was. And they're like, man, like I
• 1:29:05
  love my country. It's improving so much on
• 1:29:08
  relative terms. What El Salvador is doing is
• 1:29:12
  absolutely incredible. Of course, as we're mentioning,
• 1:29:15
  it does have a long way to go, but still what it's been about
• 1:29:18
  two years and they have significantly improved their
• 1:29:22
  country. And really one of the the main
• 1:29:25
  things that we were getting is guys, if you really understand
• 1:29:28
  how small of a country El Salvador is, it's absolutely
• 1:29:32
  incredible that the powers that be throw so much shade at El
• 1:29:35
  Salvador. Because like if you really think
• 1:29:39
  about it in terms of like how big the country is, how many
• 1:29:43
  people there their GDP, no western country in the world
• 1:29:47
  should ever be saying anything about Bitcoin or rather about El
• 1:29:50
  Salvador. Because it's it's basically like
• 1:29:53
  a non existent country in in the grand scheme of things.
• 1:29:57
  And the amount of hate and vitriol that they're getting
• 1:29:59
  just goes to show that they're absolutely terrified of what is
• 1:30:02
  happening in El Salvador. And that just makes me hopeful
• 1:30:06
  for what is happening in El Salvador and I just can't wait
• 1:30:09
  to keep going back and seeing how the country has improved.
• 1:30:12
  And then on the last point, I just want to give a big shout
• 1:30:14
  out to the meme factory guys. Shout out to Big Sean and Greg,
• 1:30:17
  Zoj and rope all the guys that put in Dragon for holding the
• 1:30:21
  conference. Like I I was joking that we got
• 1:30:24
  rug pulled on it being just a party, but it actually felt like
• 1:30:28
  a legitimate conference and it was absolutely great.
• 1:30:31
  And also on that last point, shouts out to everyone down
• 1:30:35
  there that was giving us love because it means a lot.
• 1:30:37
  We were asking you guys, you know, what do you guys like
• 1:30:39
  about the show so that we can basically make a better product
• 1:30:42
  for you? And so many people are just
• 1:30:44
  like, man, keep doing what you guys are doing.
• 1:30:46
  I absolutely love you guys. I'm watching from literally all
• 1:30:49
  around the world. You guys get me through the
• 1:30:51
  morning. You guys have helped me stack
• 1:30:52
  more Bitcoin. It's like I love the energy Opti
• 1:30:55
  keep it up. You guys are killing it.
• 1:30:57
  And man, so many good gifts like check this out, you know, shout
• 1:31:00
  out to the Viva Bitcoin guys. They gave me a soccer jersey
• 1:31:03
  with simply Bitcoin on it. You know, Satoshi 21 on the
• 1:31:06
  back, just so much love, man. And This is why you go to these
• 1:31:09
  conferences. This is why you make these Mecas
• 1:31:12
  to go hang out with people. Because you realize that you're
• 1:31:14
  not alone, that people enjoy the things that you're doing, that
• 1:31:18
  you are actively having an impact on people's lives, and
• 1:31:21
  that this Bitcoin thing is, is bringing people together.
• 1:31:24
  And that's the most powerful part about this.
• 1:31:26
  It's so awesome to hang out with Bitcoiners and and just connect
• 1:31:30
  with people and be like, all right man, we're not alone,
• 1:31:33
  we're winning. We're going to continue to win.
• 1:31:35
  And you know, again, shouts out the Big Sean for getting us all
• 1:31:39
  down to El Salvador. They got what, like 600 people
• 1:31:42
  down to El Salvador. It was a great time, you know,
• 1:31:46
  shouts out to get trolled from the mean factory.
• 1:31:49
  This is why we do it, man. This is why we do what we do.
• 1:31:52
  And This is why we know Bitcoin is going to change the world,
• 1:31:55
  because it's done it on an individual level for every
• 1:31:57
  single one of us. And it's connecting worlds
• 1:32:00
  together. Like again, last thing shouts
• 1:32:02
  out the rope. He's like, man, I would have
• 1:32:04
  never thought that I'd have friends all around the world.
• 1:32:07
  You know, I'm, I'm from the sticks of Alabama and now I have
• 1:32:09
  friends from all around the world.
• 1:32:11
  And I say that all the time when I go hang out with bitcoins.
• 1:32:14
  It's just amazing that, you know, Nico and I can talk into
• 1:32:17
  the computer and we have friends and I would say at times family
• 1:32:22
  all around the world watching what we're doing and just
• 1:32:25
  doubling down on the positivity and the hopefulness and the
• 1:32:29
  optimism. Guys, we're changing things in
• 1:32:31
  real time. Yes, it might not happen as
• 1:32:33
  quickly as you would think it would, but it's happening and
• 1:32:36
  it's way faster than even we can imagine.
• 1:32:38
  So shouts out to the mean factor we're putting on the having
• 1:32:41
  party shouts at the Buchelle for changing El Salvador and shouts
• 1:32:44
  out to every single person that we had conversations with really
• 1:32:47
  means a lot guys. Yeah, 100%.
• 1:32:49
  By the way Opti, I don't know if I told you, but I a very, very
• 1:32:52
  nice necklace that I am going to give to Sophia and yeah, so
• 1:32:59
  shout out Elaine it was great to meet you in person and you know
• 1:33:04
  it was, it was a really, really enjoyed, enjoyed our chat in the
• 1:33:07
