- 1:38BTC guys, those are the numbers. Numbers.
- 1:44I like numbers man. Frozen and fucking time.
- 1:47That's to say these numbers. Yesterday, we in fact we
- 1:52actually tricked everybody. Phil said the exact same thing
- 1:55he said yesterday, I'm just kidding.
- 1:58I wasn't a joke. The fact that you don't know
- 2:01whether we're joking or not proves my point.
- 2:03That this thing is literally is Frozen in time.
- 2:06Anyways, Phil you actually sent me a very interesting thread.
- 2:10I die. It was perfect because we could
- 2:12riff off this in the in the number section and check this
- 2:17out. Well I don't know why he's
- 2:19saying, oh no, I haven't written to be my fail.
- 2:23Joke. God.
- 2:25Oh God, oh God in the wrong section.
- 2:28And then I realized that I'm like, oh no.
- 2:31Oh well, I'm too late through it.
- 2:33You up to I'm deciding when I was taking it from you this on
- 2:36camera. It's mine now.
- 2:38Okay. Anyways, but it's just too good.
- 2:41Anyways. Got so yeah, it is really good,
- 2:43preciate, Phil but Phil slipped up and then ended up in the
- 2:47number section. Anyways, let's check it out.
- 2:49This is a thread by Simon. If you're new to bitcoin,
- 2:54welcome. I'd like to introduce you to a
- 2:55key, archetype meet the hot ler. And these are the people.
- 2:59What does Phil? Yeah, I'm an idiot.
- 3:02I'm just a burnout. This isn't even the article I
- 3:04was talking about. Oh goddamn.
- 3:08I'm screwing this all on. You does Mike someone just mute
- 3:11his mic for like two minutes. Welcome to Simply Bitcoin.
- 3:13It was for 20 yesterday man. Okay.
- 3:16If you're if you're in this for 20 today it's 4:20 every day,
- 3:20okay? If you're new to bitcoin,
- 3:22Welcome. If, you know, you know, I'd like
- 3:25to introduce you to the key, archetype meet the hot Oiler.
- 3:28These are the people, the world thought were batshit crazy until
- 3:31a couple weeks ago. Hot rollers are the heart and
- 3:33soul of the Bitcoin Community understanding how they think is
- 3:36vital. If you're going to play this
- 3:38game in which they hold all the cards or coins, many hot rollers
- 3:42bought in mind Bitcoin in the beginning.
- 3:44Like when it was one set a dollar five dollars a hundred
- 3:47dollars, they own a vast majority of the Bitcoin in
- 3:50existence control, the market, they never sell.
- 3:52And probably never will, the reason hollers never cells,
- 3:56because they see Bitcoin as replacing fiat currency, they
- 3:59don't want to own dollars, they want to kill the dollar to them.
- 4:02This isn't about making profits. It's about changing the World,
- 4:05by the way. Phil, I think me, and you have
- 4:08said this a million fucking times, right?
- 4:11Are we? Oh, jeez.
- 4:12Like this, maybe not. Right?
- 4:14But still, this is what we call. Maybe, we're not the, the oh,
- 4:19Jihad lers. But we're the plebs.
- 4:21Where the plants. Um, but anyways think about it.
- 4:25These people saw Bitcoin go from nothing to a thousand.
- 4:28They didn't sell and went all the way back down to 100 and
- 4:31they didn't budge. Then they've rocketed up to
- 4:3315,000 the ultimate hollers Toshi.
- 4:37Nakamoto himself Soto. She owns the keys to billions of
- 4:40dollars of big worth of bitcoin and has its old spent percent or
- 4:44spent any of it Hollywood's believe.
- 4:46Bitcoin will go to 100,000 and Beyond when it does, no one will
- 4:50have to exchange Bitcoins for dollars.
- 4:52It's because the world will be using it as cash.
- 4:55The hot Allure is the best kind of crazy.
- 4:57The kind that changes the world. They are all Satoshi.
- 5:01We are all Satoshi, except for Craig Wright and now.
- 5:03So are you anyways, dude? Awesome freaking thread man,
- 5:09right? Awesome thread.
- 5:10But I think that you got something wrong man, right?
- 5:14I'm not as OG, right? As you know, these people.
- 5:18I wish I got five dollar Bitcoin.
- 5:20That'd be great. I think I was too young.
- 5:22And I was like you know worrying about partying and girls at that
- 5:25time, right. But still dude like I'm just as
- 5:31Just as invested in this peaceful Revolution as who he
- 5:36calls the hotter and I know Q feels the same way I do.
- 5:39Feel feels the same way, right? This is a peaceful Revolution.
- 5:43This is about freeing Mankind from the tyranny of Central
- 5:47Banking. This is about the separation of
- 5:50money and state. The state will never be not
- 5:53corrupted as long as it controls the money supply that is the
- 5:57root of all evil, right? That is literally the Boom,
- 6:01that's what bitcoiners fight for every day.
- 6:03But we say fight, all it means is just buying Bitcoin and
- 6:08putting into self custody into Cold Storage.
- 6:11That is, that is the fight that is, that is, that is the act of
- 6:15resistance. That is the act of.
- 6:17I'm not complying with you, I'm opting out of your political
- 6:21money garbage, right? So that thread was amazing but
- 6:24hey man the plebs might we might not have bought Bitcoin at $5
- 6:29but body, we're still fighting. Fighting.
- 6:31We're still fighting with you man.
- 6:33We just might be a lot smaller Phil.
- 6:38Yeah we just have a lot less corn to throw at the Battle
- 6:41right? We have a lot less corn to throw
- 6:42at the battle but we have just the same amount of heart.
- 6:46Yeah, it's have the same amount of heart, and this is the thing
- 6:48about Bitcoin, right? A lot of us are.
- 6:50Yeah, I hate throwing, I hate painting everyone, with a broad
- 6:53brush, but, you know, there's a lot of us that came to bitcoin
- 6:57for Fiat gains. A lot of us came to it for
- 6:59different ideologies that Much less noble than what it can
- 7:03really be used for. And once you come to the
- 7:05understanding that Bitcoin actually fixes the world because
- 7:10it fixes the base layer of our value transmission and our value
- 7:14retention, okay? It changes everything and you
- 7:18are no longer just sitting here for Fiat gains, you understand
- 7:20that, you're part of something that is revolutionary that is
- 7:24changing the world. And it's, it's finally
- 7:27something, right? Like this is something that
- 7:29desperately needs to get fixed like She is the mother of all
- 7:32invention. We had like there was no choice
- 7:34like we there's a saying that I learned early in Bitcoin Bitcoin
- 7:38was inevitable and it's true when you look back at our human
- 7:42history, Bitcoin was absolutely inevitable.
- 7:44Satoshi was inevitable. The cypherpunks, were
- 7:46inevitable, all of these people. All of these things were
- 7:49absolutely inevitable based on the, the actions that were put
- 7:53into motion years ago and the terrible decisions by stupid,
- 7:58power-hungry humans. Anyways, I would I would even
- 8:00say I wouldn't even say that it's necessarily a terrible
- 8:04decisions. Phil, what I would say mostly is
- 8:07that the incentives of the Fiat system are misaligned in the way
- 8:13that that the, the central Bankers, they're just working.
- 8:17They're just, they're just pursuing their own incentives.
- 8:21It just happens that their own incentives hurt.
- 8:23A lot of people write in are terrible decisions and are
- 8:26terrible. It's but for them in the, for
- 8:29that, for that, for that. For them for them.
- 8:32Not it's great, right? And this is the tragedy of
- 8:35Central Banking right? Is that it's a bad system if the
- 8:38beauty of Bitcoin is that everybody could win?
- 8:42Which is it and it's so unbelievable that when you tell
- 8:45a no Corner this they're in there and freaking shock.
- 8:47Anyways, cute! What are your thoughts on this?
- 8:49But I think Phil put it really well when you have just
- 8:52historically speaking, the way money has come and gone and with
- 8:55the global standard of what money is has changed repeatedly
- 8:59over time but the Banking system is flawed inherently.
- 9:04I disagree with one thing that you said though, Nico where
- 9:07these Bankers, they created the incentive structure that they
- 9:11are playing it. They are essentially both the
- 9:13players and the referees and the commissioner of the game that
- 9:18you and I are playing against them on.
- 9:19And at that point it's like all right dude, I might as well just
- 9:23be playing against the Harlem, Globetrotters.
- 9:25At that point. Like I have no chance at winning
- 9:26that game. They're always like those crazy
- 9:29stories, or whatever, like, Grandma bought a bunch of Apple
- 9:32stock. No one knew where she hid it and
- 9:34then boom. All of a sudden she dies.
- 9:35And now, we're all millionaires. Sure, congratulations to those
- 9:38of you who had that opportunity. My dad slept on literally all of
- 9:41those stocks. At the same time, though, like
- 9:46there's a second layer to this where and if you guys haven't
- 9:49had a chance to check it out, check out Pete Rizzo's article
- 9:52that he wrote for Forbes where he essentially breaks down.
- 9:55Like there are now two classes of bitcoiners, it's goes back
- 9:58now to like the older original hollers and like those It's like
- 10:01a little hablar, need me code. Well we're just we just got into
- 10:05this like this is not like we were buying a Bitcoin at a
- 10:08dollar. Even $100, like, still kicking
- 10:11myself for genuinely, not wanting to use Silk Road in
- 10:15college, because my friend was like, no, you can't use dollars
- 10:17like you got to go by this thing called Bitcoin.
- 10:20That was, that was the moment. I said.
- 10:22No not. Oh, I'm going to send illegal
- 10:24drugs to myself in my college dorm.
- 10:26Well, that was not my problem. My problem was like, no, I don't
- 10:28want to spend more time learning about something else and Doing
- 10:31all this so well. Well, about overpriced weed here
- 10:34in d.c., there is there is inherently two classes of
- 10:40bitcoiners at this. Present moment there are the oh
- 10:42geez that are essentially the platform maximalist is as Rizzo
- 10:46calls it which is they believe in the technology behind this.
- 10:49They believe that everything that we interact with on the
- 10:51Internet is going to end up being built on top of Bitcoin to
- 10:54make it a more Equitable more evenly distributed and more
- 10:58accessible form of communication and just frankly Better
- 11:01internet, then there are those and I will put myself in this
- 11:04category that are more the monetary Maximus.
- 11:07I came into Bitcoin because I was a finance guy, my buddy kept
- 11:10hounding me about Bitcoin the moment we spend time talking
- 11:13about it. I was like, yo, you're
- 11:14absolutely right like from a financial standpoint, like dude
- 11:17we can make a ton of Fiat dollars just buying up some
- 11:20Bitcoin and it's going to rip like it might not rip tomorrow
- 11:23but it will. Thank my lucky stars that I was
- 11:27a broke-ass assisted in Hollywood at the time because
- 11:30Bitcoin just hit 19 thousand dollars.
- 11:32When we have that conversation, I had no money to put in it and
- 11:36if I had done it at that moment and then watched it go from like
- 11:391920 down to 3K. I would have been so turned off.
- 11:43I'd be like yeah like no I'm out.
- 11:45Don't even talk to me about Bitcoin.
- 11:47I lost too much on it. Thank God.
- 11:49I literally had to wait eight months get promoted.
- 11:51And then finally got like, fairly be described as a livable
- 11:55wage as a legitimate agent in Hollywood and then I was able to
- 11:59start buying Bitcoin. Man.
- 12:01Oh man. But you so but you skipped all
- 12:04due to soak you. You haven't done a full cycle
- 12:07yet. No.
- 12:08So my first by was 2018. Okay, I'm now for years, okay,
- 12:12I'm technically speaking for years in, you still have an
- 12:16experience of their Market buddy.
- 12:19Ha ha, ha. Not even that, wish that is
- 12:22where your balls calcify. That is like, when, you know,
- 12:27you're literally watching a like years.
- 12:31And years of salary dissipate before your eyes, it is, is the
- 12:35most terrible feeling I never forget.
- 12:38End of 2017, early. 2018, I was like, God damn, I think I need,
- 12:43I need to get Anita work. I need to go back to work and
- 12:46real estate. What is this?
- 12:48God damn, this sucks. I'm poor.
- 12:51But yeah, then that's honestly when you start solidifying your
- 12:56beliefs, right? You're just like dude, like like
- 12:59yeah, the money's nice. But I I'm staying for the
- 13:03freedom, I'm staying for the freedom, what, what?
- 13:05What what self custody enables an individual to do is freaking
- 13:10Priceless, and that's why I stayed and then ngu technology
- 13:14is kind of like a side effect but I definitely going to check
- 13:17out that article that that sounds really fascinating film
- 13:20it, it's awesome. I want to throw one more number
- 13:23of I can if I can interrupt you because like, you're absolutely
- 13:27right. I haven't really lived through a
- 13:28bear market, like you can call what we are on.
- 13:31A technical basis, a bear Market because we have more than a 20%
- 13:33decline. But the truth is and I have this
- 13:36conversation just this morning with our team on bitcoin
- 13:39magazine live. Like you look at the 30-day
- 13:42trailing correlation between the nasdaq-100 and Bitcoin and
- 13:46that's above 90% And it's been holding that level for over a
- 13:50month. Now then you even expand that
- 13:52out to 40 days. And now you have over a 67
- 13:55percent correlation between NASDAQ 100, the best 100 tech
- 14:00stocks. Stock market and then Bitcoin,
- 14:03which is more or less at this point, a tech asset class that's
- 14:07being traded. I still study and trading in the
- 14:11public markets just because like I have that ability to and I'm
- 14:15not going to not make money. I-i've been a net seller since
- 14:19December and I'm waiting and watching for this Market to
- 14:23really collapse in March of 2012, in the same way, it did in
- 14:26March, 20, 20. But if I also buy into this idea
- 14:30that right now, Now in 2022, Bitcoin trades like a tech asset
- 14:35asset class. No different than the public
- 14:37markets. Well, if I'm anticipating a
- 14:38sell-off in this public market, I'm also going to anticipate A
- 14:42Hard Sell Off in Bitcoin. I'm gonna take a little bit of
- 14:46hope you. I'm here.
- 14:47And my expectation is that's going to be the decoupling
- 14:50that's when we finally see Bitcoin separate from the NASDAQ
- 14:52and whatnot. But that's the, that's the real
- 14:56bear Market that I'm waiting for.
- 14:57Yeah, I, you know, I agree with that and I agree.
- 15:01This enemy, in terms of I think that this still this puppy still
- 15:05has, you know? And again, speculation tinfoil
- 15:08hat time I still think that we have the I still think that this
- 15:12cycle isn't over yet, I still think we have one last Catalyst,
- 15:17one last leg up, but you know who knows?
- 15:20Let's see how plays out and I completely agree and I was
- 15:23actually talking to a buddy of mine who works at who still
- 15:27works at Goldman. I've been trying to Orange Peel
- 15:28this guy for six years so doesn't listen to me.
- 15:31And one of the things that he brought up when we were talking
- 15:34is hey what about the correlation between the NASDAQ
- 15:38and Bitcoin? What's the deal with that?
- 15:40And it's undeniable right? But I suspect that's temporary.
- 15:45So I agree with your sentiment but anyways Phil it's time for
- 15:48the daily fail. Brought to you by Amber app.
- 15:52Check them out. Amber dot app.
- 15:54We've all got a stack. Use an app that's by bitcoiners
- 15:58low fees Fair, spread smart. Nation.
- 16:01The link is down below. Ammo.
- 16:04Smart. Wait, stop sounds.
- 16:06So we got to fails today we're going to dive into a great, a
- 16:10great thread from Sam Callaghan. Okay, fellow Bitcoin, or who we
- 16:13had on last week. I think should have had this
- 16:16article then but anyways the first thing we're going to do
- 16:19though is we're going to follow up to yesterday's fail with
- 16:22these shell flew. Answer accounts that charge.
- 16:26Okay, so look one of the ways you know, I'm not and again, I'm
- 16:29not judging anybody. D.
- 16:31Well, I am, but fuck it. It doesn't matter.
- 16:33Who am I right? But look, at the end of the day,
- 16:35you want to get paid to show garbage.
- 16:37That's your business, right? You're the one that has to live
- 16:38with yourself, that's that's totally your prerogative.
- 16:42Go right ahead, okay? But in social media, I find that
- 16:46like, if you if you give in to the people that are that are
- 16:50calling you on your bullshit, you're gonna help them call you
- 16:55on your bullshit a whole lot more.
- 16:57Then you may draw some more eyes, maybe eyes that you don't
- 17:00want. People that know how to dig up
- 17:02data. Figure out, you know how to find
- 17:04interesting pieces of information.
- 17:05Anyways, so just a recap from yesterday.
- 17:08Here's the, here's the, the stupid chart of the the
- 17:11influencer list and what they're charging and yesterday, we
- 17:14mentioned it just so happened that we mentioned, zubi.
- 17:16Right, just so happens. So anyways, zubi, definitely got
- 17:21shit on a lot on bitcoin Twitter yesterday.
- 17:25Anyways, let's let's dive into it a little bit.
- 17:28Okay, here was one of the responses to Hot or not.
- 17:31Okay. As I've said several times, I
- 17:34was not paid by twitch nor do I have any business partnership
- 17:37with them but I see it's let's make false allegations about
- 17:40zubi day. So have at it?
- 17:42I've already been accused of worshiping Satan being on
- 17:44Putin's payroll and being Illuminati, okay?
- 17:47And here we can you know we can see you know some of some of
- 17:51those rubies tweets. I've got all my sponsors.
- 17:53I've turned down a lot of money over the years, right?
- 17:55So that means any shit coin that I said yes to is obviously
- 17:58quality because I've said no to certain People means the people.
- 18:02I've said yes to this means something.
- 18:04All right, here we go. We have a cringe freaking tweet
- 18:08from the bsv lawyer. Jimmy new Ian, welcome to be
- 18:13music to Twitch app and bsv and here's a here's a tweet that
- 18:17he's retweeting from zubi, May 19 20 21 recently joined to a
- 18:21chop, okay? So didn't get paid for that
- 18:23either. All right, sure.
- 18:24So here's here's a tweet, here's another tweet from Hot or Not
- 18:26that I picked up what type of moral gymnastics.
- 18:28Do you employ to tell yourself this because Essentially, right.
- 18:32He doesn't think that he's done anything wrong.
- 18:35Okay isn't that anything wrong? That's fine cardano, he is a
- 18:40massive account right here we go Schilling nft projects, great,
- 18:45boom, Schilling the Twitch app, wonderful.
- 18:48Melt them to mirrors. Also also showed that as well.
- 18:51Alright, so here we go, here's the original tweet from zubi.
- 18:57If I've broken the law, please let me know which one because
- 19:00that's Very strong accusation. And I don't take kindly to it.
- 19:04As usual, none of you will even use your name nor photo online
- 19:08yet. You're trying to hold everybody
- 19:10else accountable. The irony is never lost on me
- 19:13and the Tweet. He's retweeting just says nah,
- 19:16just when you, she'll scams that you got paid for undisclosed,
- 19:19it's called breaking the law and being a scumbag.
- 19:22So then Adam back who does show his face and is using his real
- 19:27name. Response bitcoiners tend to
- 19:30prefer free. Markets to regulations.
- 19:32But as you asked, and here's the SEC link.
- 19:37So let's take a look at this. I don't know.
- 19:39Zubi might have something to worry about the Securities and
- 19:42Exchange Commission. Today announced settled charges
- 19:45against professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather and music
- 19:48producer. Khaled Khaled known as DJ Khaled
- 19:50for failing to disclose payments.
- 19:51They receive for promoting investments in icos.
- 19:55These are the SE C's First cases to charge touting violations,
- 19:57involving ico's, the SE c--'s orders found that Mayweather
- 20:00failed to disclose promotional payments from three Ico issuers.
- 20:06So Yeah buddy. You Shield a bunch of crap and
- 20:11you didn't disclose that you did and the Bitcoin is called you on
- 20:14it. And the worst thing that you
- 20:15could have done was sit there and scream about it.
- 20:19You know what, I do have to give some Applause to a lot of the
- 20:23other people on that list who just sat there and just pretty
- 20:26much were like, yep, that's what I do.
- 20:27Fuck it, and they just went on with their lives.
- 20:30This guy called all kinds of attention to it and forced
- 20:33people to and force people to poke and dive in.
- 20:36Anyways, Zoombies wrecked. Yeah dude, it's the Streisand
- 20:40Effect right? You know when it's on the
- 20:44internet, dude. You as soon as you point
- 20:45something out, even if you want to point it out in a negative
- 20:48light, you're still pointing it out and you're still driving
- 20:51traffic to that specific topic. Whether that's an account,
- 20:55whether that's, you know, anything that it is right now.
- 20:58In terms of zubi, do die. If on for, he had some really
- 21:03base takes that, I appreciated over the over the time.
- 21:07But true, this is just. Another example of don't have
- 21:10any heroes in Bitcoin. Like, that's literally another
- 21:13example of that, it's unfortunate, you know that he's
- 21:17taking, you know, the shit coin payments.
- 21:19But dude, look, we're Libertarians at heart dude.
- 21:22If that's what you want to do, go for it.
- 21:24That's fine. Right?
- 21:26But only its but don't own it. But own it.
- 21:29You can't have your cake and eat it too.
- 21:31Right. You can't have your cake and eat
- 21:33it too. And I know.
- 21:34Q knows this, right? It is Stream, Lee hard to grow
- 21:40on YouTube and to grow into whatever Bitcoin only and
- 21:44keeping your soul without talking about price and certain
- 21:49little buzz words, every single video is extremely hard to get
- 21:53people's attention right. So dude, like I don't blame him,
- 22:00right? The the shit coins are so
- 22:02enticing than terms of the money, right?
- 22:04But Bill's right, see pay the bills crazy.
- 22:07Dude, I would rather keep my soul but that's just me.
- 22:11Yeah, you do you. I do me.
- 22:12We could all be friends. Right?
- 22:14Anyways. Q.
- 22:14What are your thoughts on this? I'm going to preface by saying,
- 22:18like I spent so much time with Zoo be at the Bitcoin
- 22:21conference. I view this guy's a friend, like
- 22:25a genuinely enjoy, and appreciate his perspective on
- 22:27just the world in general, you're both absolutely right.
- 22:31You are entitled in this world especially in a free market,
- 22:35free market to make money how you see, fit, they're scumbags
- 22:39who own private prisons, all over this country and they make
- 22:43money off of that. There's a very interesting, I
- 22:45think. Station on Ft stuff.
- 22:48Where, you know, like I think you guys would agree with me.
- 22:52Most nft is right now are not valuable.
- 22:54You could probably make some quick money here.
- 22:56They're like buying one selling it real quick.
- 22:59Boom. Oh, I made a couple Grand doing
- 23:01this, like, cool. All you're really doing is just
- 23:04passing the bag onto the next person, because inevitably bags
- 23:07gonna drop, but the truth is, it's no different than, like,
- 23:10when I trade a stock, I'm not really selling a stock because
- 23:13I'm like, oh, this is going to keep going up.
- 23:15But so, like you could it's your turn to Make some money.
- 23:17It's like no, I'm selling it to you because if I'm doing my
- 23:19calculations right, like you're probably gonna lose money behind
- 23:22this stock. So go for it.
- 23:25There's a second layer to this and y'all might not like my take
- 23:29on this but like rip me apart for it.
- 23:32And if he's the technology behind it, are here to stay how
- 23:36it's being used today. That that's right.
- 23:40Click save like move on. Like I don't give a damn about
- 23:42your digital artwork best examples.
- 23:45Right now are both in the Sports World and in music and I'll get
- 23:49to music because it relates back to zubi.
- 23:51But this season there were two sections in the I used to work
- 23:56there when it's called Verizon Center, I refuse to look up what
- 23:58it's called now, but the DC stadium that hosts.
- 24:00The capitals Wizard, and the Wizards, and their WNBA team.
- 24:03They and two sections this year exclusively to sell tickets is
- 24:07mfds. Because now, the team can
- 24:10collect money off of the secondary and tertiary Market
- 24:13ticket sales, that never existed before you have Dynamic pricing,
- 24:16that moves the price up based on who's coming into town, or what
- 24:20players are playing or who the starting, pitcher that exist all
- 24:23across Sports by the end of this decade.
- 24:24It You will be able to get real Baseline ticket prices because
- 24:27these teams will find new revenue streams in the secondary
- 24:30markets because of these smart contracts.
- 24:33The same is going to happen in the music industry.
- 24:35I think this is where the juubi of it all kind of fits in.
- 24:38I think he is genuinely curious at exploring how he can use
- 24:42blockchain technology at large within his music career.
- 24:46Keep in mind, this guy is an independent music rapper artists
- 24:50entrepreneurs, so that element of it I think is what made him
- 24:54curious. But like unfortunately he just
- 24:56you went down the wrong Rabbit Hole, I personally like I'm
- 25:01floored in a little bit like aghast at the way.
- 25:03He's been reacting. Attacking people call them on
- 25:07what they look like and what not like dude you got got, take your
- 25:12lumps and then move on. Let the next news cycle, new
- 25:14story, pick it up. He Fanning the Flames a little
- 25:17bit with this and I really nothing but love and respect for
- 25:20the man. I wish you did differently but
- 25:22like, dude, this is this is why you're becoming friends with bit
- 25:24corners and Like talk to all of us, more get to know what this
- 25:28technology really can do, because I think ultimately with
- 25:32what, he preaches as his values in the way he sees the world and
- 25:36the things that he wants to see done like Bitcoin solves those
- 25:38problems. This is a man who travels across
- 25:41countries and literally can't open a bank account because he
- 25:44doesn't have a credit line in his home country.
- 25:46Like what, what solves that problem, Bitcoin solves that
- 25:50problem. You know, what does he cardano
- 25:52bro? It just does it.
- 25:53Yeah you know you know it really is gonna happen.
- 25:55With all that cardano stack that someone like gifted you for
- 25:58free, the speculative that there's no substitute
- 26:01substantives proof of that happening but these bullshit
- 26:06shit coins are just pre mind to a point where literally Audrey
- 26:12be every time you get listed on coinbase, every time you get
- 26:14lists on some of these larger platforms like a Robin Hood.
- 26:17The chart, literally just goes straight down.
- 26:19Why do you think that happens? Because all you fucking big bag
- 26:22holders, start selling to the unsuspecting.
- 26:25People who don't know any better because we look up to you, we
- 26:27appreciate what you say, your words have meaning impact and
- 26:30influence, even those us plebs here, the fact that you're
- 26:34listening to us talking like we understand recognize the Merit
- 26:37and value. And what our words, say, I think
- 26:42It's going to be a very interesting shift over these
- 26:45next few years. I think, if all of these shit
- 26:48coins were really marked as Securities.
- 26:52I know what I'm essentially alluding to and saying like
- 26:54let's bring in some regulation over this industry at large and
- 26:58start calling security Securities Aisha corners and
- 27:01should coins are securities that changes the game.
- 27:04Then all of a sudden you're not really going to be tweeting
- 27:06about cardano. You're not going to see Elon
- 27:08Musk tweeting about those. You're not going to see a nephew
- 27:10projects getting shield in the way that They are getting
- 27:13shelled now. Well, that, and that's the big.
- 27:15That's the big Crux of it, right?
- 27:17And look going back to the whole thing.
- 27:20Listen, your nft could be launched on top of Bitcoin.
- 27:24Like, if you want, if you're into that and I'm totally for
- 27:28that. But we're against is this?
- 27:31It's not, it's not that we're against it, we just call it out.
- 27:33You can do whatever your heart desires, but it's like you are
- 27:37launching an NF t on an inferior chain.
- 27:41Because that inferior attain gives you more power through
- 27:46marketing and through the celebrity endorsements to be
- 27:49able to dump on unsuspecting bad coulter's, right?
- 27:52It's a lot more boring to build on top of Bitcoin than it is to
- 27:56build on the next great Solana, etc, etc.
- 28:00So, you know, I think it's, you know it perhaps a lot of the you
- 28:04know the the maximalist like ourselves.
- 28:07Perhaps we don't freeze it right?
- 28:09It's not necessarily that we were Hence, these Technologies
- 28:13is that they could be built on bitcoin and they will be better
- 28:17if they're built on bitcoin because Bitcoin is the most
- 28:20secure base layer of all time by far Phil.
- 28:25So yeah, we've--. Yeah.
- 28:27We've-- said this, we've actually said this before I
- 28:29appreciate your take about nft, he's definitely, the technology
- 28:32is not going away. There's nothing wrong with that
- 28:34technology. In any way, shape, or form, the
- 28:36issue is the marketing and the disingenuous messaging.
- 28:41Oh, okay. When people look at this
- 28:42technology and think that it needs to be quote unquote money,
- 28:46okay? Like I have no problem with what
- 28:48they're doing with these secondary markets and the ticket
- 28:50sales and creating you know, dynamic dynamic pricing, and all
- 28:54that, that's fantastic. But none of that needs to have
- 28:57its own token, in order to perform its function as a smart
- 29:02contract or in a secondary market like I'm sorry, the token
- 29:06is completely separate. And the problem is, is that the
- 29:10what we've seen right now, Current application of n FTS is
- 29:13that they've given people this false notion number one that
- 29:17they own the, the attached jpeg or image or whatever it is that
- 29:23is being claimed to be the nft. That's, that's the first problem
- 29:27in the second problem is that it's pitched as an investment.
- 29:31So you know what I mean? Like look what people don't
- 29:34understand is why do you think baseball cards?
- 29:36Why do you think a Honus Wagner rookie card?
- 29:38Like I brought this up before but like what?
- 29:39You think it's so expensive, right?
- 29:40It's not like like he was like the best player necessarily just
- 29:43a very rare card and it's very much desired, you know, like
- 29:47that's what happens with a lot of these things.
- 29:49Like, my parents are boomers, they had cards in the 1950s,
- 29:52right? The only reason those cards.
- 29:54One of the main reasons, those cards became incredibly valuable
- 29:57is the desirability because of the Nostalgia, number one, and
- 29:59number two, the Rarity because most of those cards were used to
- 30:03play a stupid game, a really fun game, called Topsy's, okay?
- 30:07Where they would sit there and throw cards against the wall,
- 30:09instantly making them on manse. Okay.
- 30:12And then if the card fell on top of the other one you keep both
- 30:15of them but who cares. They're not even meant anyways.
- 30:17So my point is is that mfds okay though it's exactly what you
- 30:22said it is the application that is incorrect and it's
- 30:24disingenuous messaging. So they're screwing their
- 30:27fleecing people out of their money and if any bills that's
- 30:31the big problem and it's built on top of fucking Bitcoin, if
- 30:34it's Builders know, I'm a big boy, I'm a big fucking fan.
- 30:37If it's built on top of Bitcoin, it's not built on top of
- 30:39Bitcoin, you're literally building on something that is
- 30:42less secure because you want to pump your own bags, right?
- 30:46Which is instance ears. Fuck anyways.
- 30:48Phil what's the next fail? Do we have time for the next
- 30:50fail. I think we went a little bit,
- 30:53don't get me wrong. We might have to save it for the
- 30:55for the next episode 10. It's 10 points from Sam
- 30:58Callaghan and their killer but this was this was an awesome
- 31:01Rim. Yeah.
- 31:02And dude Q we fucking love your responses manner.
- 31:05Yeah, we're pick one. It would be kind of you know,
- 31:08contrarians is be like no, we don't Your opinions, bro.
- 31:12Fuck you, you know, like, you'd be surprised at how many
- 31:15Bitcoins who literally say not fuck, you know, because I really
- 31:18have to think about it, right? Like if you like and we have,
- 31:21unfortunately, we have taken the time because we've gone through
- 31:25the nft frickin circus a million times and we have come to the
- 31:30conclusion. We're like okay this Tech is
- 31:32okay but it's the fucking bullshit.
- 31:34That's all around it. That is the problem and it
- 31:36shouldn't be built on aetherium. I think I think this is a really
- 31:39interesting one laughs. I think we have one.
- 31:41One. Good thing to talk about in
- 31:43terms of Q you you you know, you maybe prefer government
- 31:47regulation. I'm from the libertarian
- 31:49perspective. I think I agree with you, dude.
- 31:52It's like, they're so rampant in the scams but we have to figure
- 31:57out how to do it without the heavy hand of government.
- 31:59That's my opinion fil. How do you feel about it or do
- 32:02you go, go ahead? No, no, Phil, Phil go.
- 32:05I'm going to be quick. Anyways, I complete.
- 32:07I completely agree. I'm also of the, you know, of
- 32:10the mind that it can Be done without government intervention.
- 32:14I think the big issue is that nobody really has taken the time
- 32:18to attempt it. I think that that's the big
- 32:20issue. Everybody automatically goes for
- 32:21the crutch, you know? And that's okay again, right?
- 32:24This is this is part of being humans.
- 32:26This is part of us learning, right?
- 32:27We have to fail, right? We we don't learn by getting
- 32:30everything perfectly right away. Otherwise what the hell?
- 32:32You know, we wouldn't be here. Yeah, maybe we quick closing it.
- 32:36I don't disagree. I don't look for the government
- 32:39to be like my savior. Like come save the day, but
- 32:43given the system that we are in and the rules that we have to
- 32:46play by based on that, that's the best sort of scenario to
- 32:50help. I think ourselves, as well as
- 32:53the people at large, because it can also help us separate
- 32:56Bitcoin from crypto. Yes.
- 32:57Yes, okay, fair enough. Hey, good, good points.
- 33:01This is what it's all about. Anyways, Phil it's time for the
- 33:04daily meme review, brought to you, by Citadel 21, they are the
- 33:08best Bitcoin, cultures, Enid stories, articles, By bitcoiners

- 34:35does fix this next one. Moving on to Jose.
- 34:39I love this template. If a theorem is a To shift to
- 34:42proof of work. So could Bitcoin no mining can
- 34:45make productive. Use of surplus energy from Hydro
- 34:48wind and solar plants excess energy.
- 34:51Could be diverted to other markets hydrogen production
- 34:53could take excess energy. There is no excess energy, what
- 34:56the fuck, dude, it's very deep, very deep, very deep and, and
- 35:02you know what, I've actually had that moment myself, so I could
- 35:05relate anyways. Next one, it's by Adam Koch.
- 35:11Yecch, you got 1400 dollars in inflation, the Predator class
- 35:15got billions a country that cannot be named a virus that
- 35:20could not be named basically distractions and excuses for the
- 35:24risk to use government. To get richer at the expense of
- 35:26everyone else. That is 100% true.

- 38:18Mmm. Anyways, Phil it's time for the
- 38:21Daily News brought to you by crypto.
- 38:24Cloaks are you too lazy to 3D print your own shit?
- 38:27That's why you have to go to three a crypto.
- 38:29Cloaks.com, they make the best 3D printed Bitcoin merch.
- 38:33Like the famous Bitcoin art sculpture grenades.
- 38:37This one's in Gold. I haven't shown it to you guys
- 38:39yet. This one's in.
- 38:40Lock can also get this in any custom color, your heart desires
- 38:43and you can take advantage of Link down below 45 percent off.
- 38:45So I'm gonna go back to this last meme, right?
- 38:49Of these dudes, kind of freaking out, right?
- 38:52This is just government's response is responses to it and
- 38:56I think this article really highlights it and it highlights
- 39:00essentially what the problem is, when the incentives are
- 39:04misaligned and I'll get to that in a second.
- 39:06So Bank of England, Taps banks for funds to increase scrutiny.
- 39:10Of crypto assets. Think about what that just set.
- 39:14The bank of England is asking Banks to pay for the compliance
- 39:20Department of Bitcoin and she coins Talk about misaligned
- 39:26incentives. Anyways, the Prudential
- 39:29regulator regulation Authority, which is part of the bank of
- 39:32England is planning to raise 321 million pounds from the firm's
- 39:37it regulates for the for the year.
- 39:42Through February 20 23, that's an increase of 8% on the
- 39:46previous year. The bank of England is pushing
- 39:49for the role of regulators to be expanded on crypto.
- 39:52It sounds like they're using Crypto in Bitcoin, as of, as of
- 39:58reason, as an excuse to raise more money from the people that
- 40:03they're supposedly regulating. I just think that this is a
- 40:07perfect example of the misaligned incentives of the
- 40:10Fiat system. This is total clown World
- 40:13garbage. The regulator levied 297 million
- 40:19pounds from its regulated firms and 12 months to February 20 22,
- 40:2324 million. Pounds lower than its current
- 40:26Target. Do you know how insane that
- 40:28sounds dude? Am I reading this correctly?
- 40:32Is it because a pleb has a Bloomberg subscription and he's
- 40:35reading this and it's like, what the fuck?
- 40:37They think of you as tax cattle? That's honestly, that's why I'm
- 40:41reading that dude. And I'm just like, okay, but
- 40:45what is stopping this regulatory Authority from saying that more
- 40:50crimes are being committed so that their budget is increased
- 40:53even more and Is the scapegoat always Bitcoin.
- 40:58Why? It's like the ugly kid in the
- 41:02class. For that always gets picked odd.
- 41:04Why is Bitcoin that person? It's always it's like it's like
- 41:09dude, the terrible situation in Ukraine.
- 41:11It's Bitcoins fault. Like what the fuck is going on,
- 41:14man? Anyways, film thoughts.
- 41:17Yeah, they found a great excuse for everything.
- 41:21Every incompetence, every ridiculous stupid Idea that they
- 41:25want to throw out into the public now.
- 41:27Hey, listen. We need to stop Bitcoin.
- 41:29We need to stop the illicit activities.
- 41:31We need, we need to fix the planet, right?
- 41:33And we definitely need to fix sexism by by regulating Bitcoin
- 41:40out. Really what I want to say about
- 41:42this is that if you pay attention, Okay?
- 41:45A lot of these businesses, right?
- 41:46Especially the banking business like notice how the average
- 41:48person can open a bank, right? Like I mean look if you have
- 41:51millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars, why can't
- 41:54you just In a bank and decide to give out loans to people, you
- 41:57have to go through a lot. And don't get me wrong.
- 41:59Yes, to a certain extent, you can do this with enough
- 42:02regulatory hurdles but that's exactly what this does, right?
- 42:06Every single time. These agencies, raise the amount
- 42:09of money that has to be paid. In order to enforce these
- 42:13regulations, it continues to raise the moat, the regulatory,
- 42:17motiva higher and higher making it even more, I guess you'd say,
- 42:23even more of a Hatched Ivory Tower so to speak.
- 42:27And it just creates these entities that are seemingly
- 42:32untouchable. Anyway, that that stuff.
- 42:35But that's what I see. It's the regulatory moat that
- 42:38you're describing fill a exactly spot-on, man.
- 42:41Anyways, Q thoughts on this look it's there are a couple things
- 42:47here by initialize. You were explaining in my first
- 42:50thought when 20 this sounds exactly.
- 42:51Like when the wine companies paid for the study that came out
- 42:56with the results. Saying a glass of red wine is
- 42:58actually good for your heart health.
- 42:59It's like, okay, cool. Like you actually gave me just
- 43:02like shitty Stan one subset of a larger scale, but as you like
- 43:07kind of expanded out and really think about this.
- 43:10Every single country is a corporation, the government that
- 43:15that that operates in that country is sort of the board,
- 43:19the executives or whatever. And the citizens are the clients
- 43:23and our tax dollars are their revenue.
- 43:25So that's all they're doing. They're just figuring out a
- 43:27different Revenue stream any way they can and when you start to
- 43:31realize like wait a minute going back to what we talked about.
- 43:33Earlier, the people who make the rules, dictate how they're going
- 43:37to go out and follow up and execute.
- 43:39These rules are also the ones who benefit from sad rules.
- 43:43It's no wonder why in this country at least like you're
- 43:47never going to see term limit because the people who get to
- 43:49make that decision or the ones, who are going to impose that
- 43:51restriction on themselves. It's why you're never going to
- 43:53see a salary for congress, go down because it's them who
- 43:57decide what their salary is? No different than this example.
- 44:00Where you have the bank of England, literally making the
- 44:03determination Based on the money that they are going to receive
- 44:06as a result of the study that they want to then produce.
- 44:10Yeah, like, like Nico to answer your question that was
- 44:13rhetorical nothing is going to stop them from turning around
- 44:16say, actually, no, you know, we need a, let's crank this budget
- 44:19up a little bit. You need to give us more money
- 44:20to go and execute this. Meanwhile, what's really going
- 44:23on? It's two guys in the back.
- 44:25Cubicle playing Minesweeper with each other their boss like you
- 44:28know you have that report done? No need an extension.
- 44:30Cool. Yeah.
- 44:32Another five million dollars for us.
- 44:33Anyways, yeah, I wasn't freaking matter and a pension I million
- 44:37dollars and a pension, right? But yeah, no, I think you hit
- 44:41the nail on the head and the incentives are always going to
- 44:44be misaligned as long as state and money are in cahoots.
- 44:50Like that's just a reality of it, right?
- 44:52It shouldn't be. That the power of the United
- 44:56States is centered around Washington.
- 44:58D.c. that? That that shouldn't be.
- 45:01It that it's not a productive City.
- 45:02What do they do? It's just a bunch of bureaucrats
- 45:05right and Bitcoin is our only hope to fix this and I think
- 45:10that a lot of shit coins give that illusion but because
- 45:13they're not sufficiently decentralized, they won't be
- 45:15able to survive the onslaught. Now guys I picked up on some
- 45:19very very very good signal today.
- 45:22We reported on this when it came out right so just to give you a
- 45:26recap right Exxon huge oil and gas company right is mining
- 45:31Bitcoin in North Dakota very big Deal.
- 45:34Right? And but check this out, this is
- 45:36what I noticed, right? The devil's in the details,
- 45:39ExxonMobil has been working with denver-based Crusoe Energy
- 45:42Systems to mine Bitcoin in North Dakota.
- 45:47Flared gas, Bitcoin, mining Pioneer, kurisu Energy raises
- 45:51505 million dollars, and this came out by you guys, by the
- 45:56way. So Q six hours ago, what does
- 46:00that mean? That means that their little
- 46:04experiment is paying off. So yeah, just connect the dots
- 46:11right? They wouldn't be able to raise
- 46:13half a billion dollars if You know, they're their pilot
- 46:18program, right? And for anyone who doesn't know,
- 46:20I have to give a little bit more context.
- 46:21Essentially, some really smart bitcoiners have figured out how
- 46:25to turn that excess, flared gas. That is usually gets vented out
- 46:29into the atmosphere that methane and they turn that into energy,
- 46:34and they turned that into Bitcoin.
- 46:35Why? Because it's very hard to
- 46:38transport electricity over long distances, and it's actually
- 46:41very difficult to transport gas, right?
- 46:43So, it's a lot easier to just vent it out.
- 46:46But now, Bitcoin has given stranded energy sources all
- 46:50around the world value, which goes back to something that
- 46:54we've been just beating the drum on the show every single Oil,
- 46:59and Gas and energy. Company is going to end up
- 47:02becoming a Bitcoin miner. It's inevitable.
- 47:05And this news today that the company that Exxon Mobil used
- 47:11raised, half a billion dollars is more evidence.
- 47:16That I suspect that this is the this is where it's going
- 47:20watching. The game theory of Bitcoin.
- 47:22Play out is absolutely fascinating and I think we're
- 47:25all privileged to live through a time like this Q.
- 47:29What are your thoughts? There are two scenarios you
- 47:33describe one which is all of these oil and gas companies
- 47:36owning some sort of Bitcoin mining.
- 47:39There's a second scenario that I think this half-a-billion-dollar
- 47:42sort of investment into a pure Bitcoin mining.
- 47:46Company kind of alludes to which is the Bitcoin miners, turn
- 47:52around and go and buy the traditional oil and gas
- 47:54companies. Today's a certain point.
- 47:57Look at look at Marathon for example.
- 47:59How much Bitcoin are they just sitting on their mining Bitcoin
- 48:02if they don't sell any of it, I believe.
- 48:04The last count I saw was something to the tune of 10,000,
- 48:0710,000 Bitcoin. All right, let's say they finish
- 48:10out with 25,000 in total but we're looking at a bitcoin price
- 48:14of well above six. Yours.
- 48:16Well let me tell you those billion-plus dollars.
- 48:19All of a sudden that they're just sitting on their reserves.
- 48:21A lot of their money is going to be spent in that process of
- 48:24getting the 25,000 Bitcoin on energy costs.
- 48:28Well, how do you control the cost of energy?
- 48:30You control the energy. So all of a sudden it's going to
- 48:33be on on these Bitcoin mining companies more specifically
- 48:36those in the public markets because they're going to be
- 48:38incentivized. Hey we need to create sort of a
- 48:41an opportunity for our investors.
- 48:43We need to separate from the broader Bitcoin mining Please
- 48:46you're going to look. I'm going to pull up this clip
- 48:50it gears from now Marathon Riot. Potentially even companies like
- 48:54Hut core scientific they're going to end up owning Exxon
- 48:58shell some some parts or facets of these businesses because then
- 49:03they in turn can control how much they have to pay for the
- 49:06energy, they're using to mine Bitcoin and then all of a sudden
- 49:08it's wait a minute. Now our energy costs got went
- 49:11down. We're still mining Bitcoin
- 49:12Bitcoin is Bitcoin. Mining is so profitable and it's
- 49:15even more because Margin has expanded.
- 49:18Boom, this has happened before in different Industries.
- 49:21You watch tobacco, go and eat up all other Vice type companies,
- 49:25we'd watch Hollywood, my old industry, get eaten up by the
- 49:29biggest industry at its time during each generation because
- 49:32hey we want to control the messaging that goes out.
- 49:35So let's control these companies that send out said messaging
- 49:38it's the same thing over and over just in a different
- 49:40industry. The oil Gas Energy industry as a
- 49:44whole has a clock on it. It right now, dude, Q, it's
- 49:48very, very, very early. I very rarely find myself in a
- 49:54position where I hear something from a guest that I have not
- 49:58thought of or I have not heard of before or heard from someone
- 50:02else. And that's the first time
- 50:04someone has ever, you know, pointed that out to me, and it's
- 50:07so freakin obvious, right? So, yeah, man, absolutely blew
- 50:12my mind there, right? Did the whole Nico give thing
- 50:15from, you know, From Twitter. Phil what are your thoughts on
- 50:18this? Are your mind blown just as yeah
- 50:20me, bro, I was just going to say, as, as Q is blowing, my
- 50:23mind. He's in his hair.
- 50:24His hair was expanding. His hair was getting bigger and
- 50:28laser eyes started to come out like yours.
- 50:31Like It's like you don't understand what the rate is not
- 50:35the oil companies that will my thick Point later.
- 50:38It's the miners that will buy the oil companies as he saying
- 50:45that. I'm thinking of I'm thinking of
- 50:47poor helpless until you know with with their the and they're
- 50:51making miners, right? I'm like okay you know like as
- 50:54he's you know as you're explaining this Q I'm like okay
- 50:56so what happens to these guys because look let's be honest
- 50:59right? Sure there's a lot of money in
- 51:01Bitcoins as a lot of money. The miners and everything like
- 51:03that, but these companies right companies like, Exxon, Mobil,
- 51:06and stuff like that. They've got billions of dollars.
- 51:08They've got War chests, Intel, War chests.
- 51:12Okay. So nothing is going to when they
- 51:15see how much money that they can make, right, like putting
- 51:18putting the miners aside, right? Letting the letting the oil and
- 51:21gas companies run freely right when they, when they start to
- 51:25realize, how much how much profit they can make from mining
- 51:28Bitcoin, their next step is going to be to figure out how
- 51:31they can make it all cost less. So they They are quickly going
- 51:33to turn to Intel and whoever else came on board because I
- 51:37believe AMD is going to join the party and start to offer minors
- 51:40at some point in the in the near future.
- 51:44When do they go to those companies and say, alright, you
- 51:47need to make these chips a lot cheaper.
- 51:49You need to figure out how to make them all cost less, how to
- 51:52weigh less. There's something that people
- 51:53don't understand about about engineering, or most people
- 51:57don't would, it's something called value-added engine or
- 52:00value-added engineering. Okay.
- 52:02And essentially what happens is that every cycle of Hardware
- 52:05that you create okay, every single time you create a device,
- 52:09you have to use the the point of the value-added engineering is
- 52:12to make things cheaper and cheaper, make them cost less and
- 52:15less. Now don't get me wrong in a Fiat
- 52:17world, it's been working fantastically trying to keep
- 52:20profits afloat, right? For a lot of companies.
- 52:23But when you have these oil companies that are spending
- 52:27millions of dollars on mining equipment, They're gonna want a
- 52:32solution and these companies like Intel, like AMD, I believe,
- 52:36like in the video is eventually going to join.
- 52:38They are going to, they are going to come to the party and
- 52:40don't get me wrong. I would be very surprised but
- 52:44also kind of like wow that maybe oil companies start buying out
- 52:50chip manufacturers serious. Like we as the cannibalism that
- 52:56can occur in all these different Industries because we've never
- 52:59had Bitcoin. We've never had Something like
- 53:01sure people use computers in those Industries but they're not
- 53:04using chips in the same way to make them money in the same way.
- 53:08So this changes the Dynamics anyways dude if I can feel I can
- 53:12pour some gas. Absolutely.
- 53:14I'll pour it on bro. Pour the gas because you're
- 53:16absolutely right but I'll take it a little step further right
- 53:20now. You have every single Miner
- 53:22talking about. We're going to get to a hash
- 53:24rate of over 300 by this year based on projections of when
- 53:28they're going to receive new Miners And when they're going to
- 53:30roll out, Out. However, and shout out to my
- 53:32boy, Sam rule, who's part of our Bitcoin magazine protein, if
- 53:36you're not subscribed, check it out because their analysis is so
- 53:38spot-on. On some of this stuff, dude, the
- 53:41supply chain issues exist across the board for food for cars for
- 53:45technology that also includes Bitcoin technology that includes
- 53:48Bitcoin miners that specifically includes those hardship, hard
- 53:52drive chips that Intel's trying to build out an Nvidia builds
- 53:55out. So watch as all of a sudden some
- 53:58of these companies don't get enough miners this year and
- 54:00These decals and started get kicked a little bit in The Shins
- 54:03on their stock price. Well, what happens?
- 54:06I'll tell you what happens until this is a small subset of their
- 54:11broader business. They don't give a flying rat's
- 54:15ass if they participate what they're trying to do.
- 54:18Let's build it enough and we have like we have the designs.
- 54:21We have the models like you want to just buy this branch of our
- 54:24company from us for 100. Yep two hundred million dollars
- 54:28boom. And then all of a sudden no
- 54:30watch watch. These Bitcoin miners turn into
- 54:32Amazon, blonde streaks. Will their supply chain from
- 54:35start to finish 100%, dude, block stream acquired, you know,
- 54:39spawn Doodles. Or I can't still can't pronounce
- 54:42that name right track. Doris.
- 54:43He's getting Mondelez, maybe Jack Dorsey, right?
- 54:46Buys, that's it. Dude, cute spot on spot about
- 54:49guys, we're running out of time so I'm not going to be able to
- 54:52cover essentially the developing story.
- 54:55We were actually one of the first to tell what was going to
- 54:58happen yesterday when The US Treasury announced the sanctions
- 55:03against Russian miners, I correctly assumed that this was
- 55:07going to affect Compass mining. Luckily.
- 55:09Before the episodes release, I was able to get a comment from
- 55:13wit Gibbs. The CEO of compass mining, he
- 55:15did release an official statement.
- 55:17I wanted to go over that today and what the implications of it
- 55:20are, but we ran out of time, unfortunately.
- 55:22But we'll get to it tomorrow. But anyways, Phil there was an
- 55:25open source software release today.
- 55:26Why do you tell everybody about it software releases brought to
- 55:30you by Seifer safe, check them out.
- 55:32Cipher safe dot IO guys. I've been harping on the fact
- 55:36that you can burn paper. Not only that somebody could
- 55:40feasibly wipe their ass with the paper, be careful.
- 55:44Okay. This is why you need to store
- 55:45your seed in steel. You kind of wipe your ass with
- 55:48the Cipher wheel and you can't do it with the cipher grid.
- 55:52They both come with a tamper-resistant wire but the
- 55:54grid comes with a punch tool. All right we've got Specter
- 55:57desktop version 1.9 dot 0 that was Least it's down below in the
