BREAKING: Joe Rogan Confirmed Bitcoiner!? | EP 841 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:10
  It's all going to zero against Bitcoin.
• 0:13
  It's going up for everyone. You're against Bitcoin.
• 0:23
  You're against freedom. Yo, welcome to another episode
• 0:28
  of Simply Bitcoin Live. We are your number one source
• 0:32
  for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution and curve breaking
• 0:34
  news, culture and medical warfare.
• 0:35
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:38
  state. We are back in our studios.
• 0:42
  It was a crazy week in Los Angeles, CA at the Pacific
• 0:46
  Bitcoin Festival. Opti was holding it down
• 0:48
  backstage, doing a bunch of interviews you should be
• 0:51
  dropping. Some of those very, very soon.
• 0:54
  We got some pretty, pretty big names.
• 0:55
  I think the one with Preston was dropped over the weekend, but
• 0:59
  yeah, it was a whole lot of fun. I can't recommend Bitcoin
• 1:03
  festivals and conferences the mo more because that's really where
• 1:07
  you're going to find those, like in real life connections, right?
• 1:10
  There's you can't replace that. You know as much as you know.
• 1:13
  You interact on Bitcoin Twitter, you go on YouTube, and you watch
• 1:16
  your favorite bitcoiners. When you meet in real life,
• 1:19
  there's something special about it.
• 1:20
  We're going to go to one more conference this year, the
• 1:23
  unconfiscable conference thrown by Tone Base and Co in December
• 1:29
  of this year. Hope to see you guys there.
• 1:31
  Opti and I are going to be, we're going to be holding it
• 1:33
  down. We'll probably have a news desk
• 1:35
  and and such. So it's going to be a whole lot
• 1:37
  of fun. Anyways, today we're going to
• 1:39
  talk about. The one, the only, the most
• 1:43
  popular broadcaster on planet Earth, 11,000,000 views and
• 1:48
  listens per episode. We're going to talk about the
• 1:50
  man, the myth, the legend himself, Joe Rogan.
• 1:54
  And Joe Rogan is something that we've covered tremendously on
• 1:57
  this show because he is someone that is outside of the Bitcoin
• 2:02
  echo chamber, right? So it's like when Lex Friedman
• 2:04
  had Michael Saylor on his show when.
• 2:09
  Tucker back when he was on legacy media, when he had Diane
• 2:12
  Bokele, Max Kaiser, Matt Odell, Sorry, Marty Bent.
• 2:17
  Michael Saylor on on, you know on his show Tucker Carlson
• 2:21
  tonight to Tucker Carlson today. Those are the things that
• 2:24
  really, really shift the Overton window.
• 2:26
  Those are the things that really break the over break the Bitcoin
• 2:30
  echo chamber. And for anyone who doesn't know
• 2:32
  what the Bitcoin echo chamber is.
• 2:34
  Is a lot of people don't understand is Bitcoin content
• 2:36
  creators are making content for other bitcoiners, but that's not
• 2:40
  going to move the envelope. How do you get to that
• 2:43
  intransigent minority of bitcoiners in the US?
• 2:46
  How do you get to that point where you break the Bitcoin echo
• 2:49
  chamber? You get non bitcoiners to talk
• 2:54
  about Bitcoin, to embrace the Bitcoin ethos, and to ask one
• 2:58
  very simple question. Which is, why am I being forced
• 3:01
  to use the money that steals from me?
• 3:03
  Why am I used being forced through legal tender laws to use
• 3:07
  the money that loses purchasing power over time?
• 3:11
  The more people ask that question, the harder it is it's
• 3:15
  going to be for them. They don't have a good response
• 3:18
  to that question. They ostrich it.
• 3:20
  They just put their head in the ground.
• 3:21
  They're like, look, it's a fact of life.
• 3:23
  This is Mother Nature. Money has to have inflation.
• 3:27
  But the thing about Bitcoin? That is a problem for them is
• 3:31
  that Bitcoin does not go away. They can't make it go away.
• 3:35
  So because they're they can't make it go away there.
• 3:37
  They have to compete with it. And on A and and on a
• 3:41
  competition level, when you, when you, when people have a
• 3:45
  choice between a money that is deflationary, increases in
• 3:50
  purchasing power over time, money that is censorship
• 3:52
  resistant versus money that is censored at the whim of a
• 3:56
  bureaucrat. And money that is inflationary,
• 4:00
  meaning it loses purchasing power over time.
• 4:02
  Over time, people are going to choose the better money.
• 4:07
  And that's just a fact. So the only thing they really
• 4:10
  have left is narrative, propaganda, spin and
• 4:15
  misrepresentations. That's why you're seeing the
• 4:18
  high production value videos coming out of the I MF.
• 4:22
  Explaining to you what inflation is without with with
• 4:26
  conveniently leaving the fact that inflation is literally
• 4:30
  caused because governments print money that they don't have and
• 4:35
  of course they have to leave that part out.
• 4:37
  Or when Christine Lagarde is blaming inflation on, on, or
• 4:41
  better said, the European Central Bank is blaming
• 4:43
  inflation on workers asking for more money for more
• 4:48
  compensation. Right.
• 4:50
  So. That is literally examples of
• 4:52
  them gaslighting you. That is literally examples of
• 4:55
  them trying to throw you off and saying, hey, we're not
• 4:58
  responsible for this, it's everything and anything but
• 5:01
  ourselves. We did not cause this and that
• 5:04
  is why people like Joe Rogan are so important when they start
• 5:09
  asking questions about Bitcoin. This is why people like Tim
• 5:12
  Poole when he says his comments about Bitcoin are so important.
• 5:16
  Because these are non bitcoiners.
• 5:17
  These are, these are these are broadcasters and podcasters that
• 5:22
  have garnered massive audiences that are non bitcoiners.
• 5:27
  And when you're exposing them to the solution to a lot of the
• 5:31
  political mishaps, a lot of the political discourse, a lot of
• 5:37
  the a lot of the political division, because that's what
• 5:40
  Bitcoin is. It's a solution to these
• 5:42
  problems. It's a solution that is not a
• 5:44
  voting solution. It's a big deal and I think Joe
• 5:49
  Rogan is almost there and we have a clip for you guys to
• 5:52
  prove just that. Anyways, I want to bring up my
• 5:54
  legendary cohost. He's traveling at the moment.
• 5:57
  He's he's still in Cali, Opti's in Cali.
• 6:00
  How you doing Opti? Yeah, what's up guys?
• 6:01
  I Nico rug pulled you guys. I'm not back at the home studio.

• 6:23

• 6:28

• 6:30
  that enjoy what we're doing and the amount of just kind things

  harder and and keep giving you guys a show that you enjoy and
• 6:44

• 6:52
  and it's just it was good to see you guys.
• 6:55
  We'll see you guys again. But yeah on that note not the
• 6:58
  same studio there might be dogs barking my my my family dogs go
• 7:02
  crazy sometimes so I'll do my best to minimize all the
• 7:05
  auxiliary noise and all that stuff but hey show goes on.
• 7:09
  I think we're going to have a good show today and I'm pretty
• 7:12
  excited about today and just getting back to work and you go,
• 7:14
  especially when you're throwing me curveballs all weekend, bro.
• 7:18
  It's so much more simple when you just come on the show,
• 7:20
  simply Bitcoin and do what we normally do.
• 7:22
  It's almost like we're professionals over here, bro.
• 7:25
  Yeah, almost. Almost.
• 7:27
  Maybe. Maybe so.
• 7:28
  Anyways, no more delay. I wanna bring up our very
• 7:30
  special guest. Vendetta E is the founder of the
• 7:34
  Bitcoin way. And they essentially they're,
• 7:37
  they're your on ramp. They help you, you know, if you
• 7:40
  want to set up your cold storage, you know basically it's
• 7:43
  customer service. If if you are, you know, if you
• 7:46
  haven't been exposed to Bitcoin yet, the Bitcoin way guys will
• 7:50
  definitely, you know, hand hold you through the process.
• 7:53
  So Vendetta, thank you so much for for for joining us today.
• 7:57
  Appreciate you bro. It's my pleasure, man.
• 8:00
  Thank you for having me. And if anyone who doesn't know,
• 8:03
  his actual name isn't Vendetta, but he does have a rose next to
• 8:08
  his handle and stuff. And I know that his favorite
• 8:10
  movie is V for Vendetta, so it is in my nature to give
• 8:13
  nicknames when I see fit. And yeah, man, why is V for
• 8:18
  Vendetta your favorite movie? I feel like that's another
• 8:21
  Bitcoin movie just as The Matrix.
• 8:24
  V for Vendetta? Absolutely, man.
• 8:26
  It it's a direct reflection of what's been going on for the
• 8:29
  past three to five years. The totalitarian nightmare that
• 8:33
  we've been living through has been put into the movie.
• 8:36
  One of the best sellers and I've watched this movie like
• 8:38
  countless times, never gets boring.
• 8:43
  You watch that movie and you sort of see your life in real
• 8:46
  time how it plays out and hopefully it ends the same way.
• 8:50
  100 percent, 100%. It is a very, very reminiscent
• 8:54
  of the times and also, you know, I think it's also a shot.
• 8:58
  It's like a it's a foreshadowing, it's a warning,
• 9:01
  you know of of how things can get.
• 9:04
  People get scared. Governments use that.
• 9:07
  People get people getting scared to justify taking away the
• 9:10
  freedoms of of everybody. Anyways, guys, if you are

• 9:35
  on to the numbers. We got a lot to talk about
• 9:37
  today. Let's check it out.
• 9:42
  The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 9:46
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 9:49
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 9:51
  Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
• 9:53
  hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
• 9:58
  instead of just writing them on paper.
• 10:00
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
• 10:04
  Papers prone to water damage. Fire damage.
• 10:07
  You want to put your generational wealth on one of
• 10:09
  the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
• 10:12
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 10:15
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 10:19
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 10:21
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 10:24
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 10:27
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 10:30
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 10:32
  All things that paper is. Not allowing you to huddle your
• 10:35
  Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
• 10:38
  Stamp your seed on stamp seed. All right guys, I mean it's
• 10:42
  super easy for you guys. You could scan the QR code on
• 10:45
  your screen right now. It will take you directly to the
• 10:48
  stamp seed website where you can.

• 11:01
  At the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is 27,450 sats per
• 11:07
  dollar, 3644 block height 811,396 blocks to having 28,604
• 11:18
  having estimate April 21st, 2024 total Lightning network capacity
• 11:23
  5232 Bitcoin. Capacity Value 143,000,000 U.S.
• 11:29
  dollars Realize monetary inflation 1.74% The market
• 11:34
  capitalization of Bitcoin $534 billion The be Bitcoin versus
• 11:41
  gold market cap 4.27% In the grand scheme of things, Bitcoin
• 11:46
  is still a baby. My favorite statistic out of all
• 11:49
  this is a 1.74% because it continues to embarrass Fiat
• 11:53
  currencies. And you know, as the havings
• 11:56
  come and this just this number just keeps on going down, it's
• 12:00
  just going to continue highlighting the fact that
• 12:02
  Bitcoin is just better money. More importantly, before I play
• 12:05
  you guys to Joe Rogan clip that money can exist and work just
• 12:09
  fine without inflation and that is good.
• 12:12
  That is something that governments don't want you to
• 12:15
  know because as soon as that gets out of the bag.
• 12:21
  Governments are going to have a really hard time explaining
• 12:23
  that. Because remember, governments
• 12:25
  use the money printer to pay for things they cannot afford to pay
• 12:31
  for without the money printer, without creating money for free
• 12:35
  that everyone else has to work for their only way of raising
• 12:39
  funds. Is through direct taxation.
• 12:43
  And if it's through direct taxation, all of a sudden the
• 12:45
  incentives align with politicians because all all of a
• 12:49
  sudden they're they're incentivized not to get as close
• 12:52
  as humanly possible to the money spigot.
• 12:55
  They're incentivized to actually do good by their constituents so
• 12:59
  that they can remain in power and also so that they can, you
• 13:02
  know, potentially raise funds to pay for whatever idea they, you
• 13:06
  know, they see fit. So anyways, here is the clip
• 13:10
  from Joe Rogan from The Joe Rogan Experience.
• 13:14
  Here's the Bitcoin mindset saying Joe Rogan is almost there
• 13:18
  time for Sailor to be on the podcast.
• 13:20
  Jimmy Song did an episode and he was questioning like, hey like
• 13:24
  why isn't Sailor? You know why hasn't Sailor been
• 13:27
  invited? Why hasn't a prominent bitcoiner
• 13:29
  been invited, especially after everything that's been going on,
• 13:31
  whether that's Nine Boo Kelly and El Salvador Michael Sailor
• 13:35
  choosing Bitcoin as an alternative to cash?
• 13:38
  To holding Bitcoin on on his balance sheet you know and and
• 13:42
  Bitcoin mindset ask a very basic question very simple question
• 13:45
  which is like you know like what's going on here like why
• 13:48
  isn't you know like you know like you know why.
• 13:51
  Why is Why is Sailor? Why hasn't Sailor been invited?
• 13:54
  On the Joe Rogan Podcast? Jimmy Song did a great post and
• 13:58
  he went into a lot of the the multitudes of reasons, right?
• 14:01
  Whether that is, you know, the fact that he'll get peer
• 14:03
  pressure not only to bring a bitcoiner on the podcast, but
• 14:06
  also a shit coiner. To kind of placate both sides,
• 14:10
  maybe the heat that comes from it, remember when Elon Musk
• 14:14
  allowed Tesla to be to accept Bitcoin as payment?
• 14:19
  He kind of reversed that decision real quick.
• 14:21
  And he said we're not going to, we're not going to change course
• 14:24
  until it's proven that 50% of Bitcoin mining is, you know,
• 14:29
  powered by renewable energies. Well, we're currently sitting,
• 14:31
  according to the latest Cambridge report, we're
• 14:33
  currently sitting at 56%. Of Bitcoin mining is currently
• 14:37
  powered by renewable energies. Looks like Elon hasn't changed
• 14:40
  of course. So I think that there's a lot of
• 14:42
  pressure on Elon a lot of pressure on Joe Rogan because
• 14:45
  they're so influential because they're big.
• 14:47
  They're out of the Bitcoin echo chamber.
• 14:50
  I think that their whole, their, with their words hold a lot of
• 14:53
  weight. And if you don't believe me,
• 14:55
  look at what happened with Russell Brand right as soon as
• 14:59
  he, you know, started touting. Things that were, you know, not
• 15:03
  necessarily the friendliest towards governments in the UK.
• 15:07
  The UK government, literally the parliament of the UK, literally
• 15:10
  asked Rumble to demonetize Russell Brand.
• 15:14
  So these independent content creators that governments are
• 15:18
  having a hard time coopting because they are independent.
• 15:22
  Yeah man, as soon as they start asking that question, hey, why
• 15:27
  are we being forced to use the money that steals from us?
• 15:31
  Once that is out, once most people are asking that question,
• 15:34
  it's game over. It's game, set and match.
• 15:37
  Anyways. Let's play the clip by Joe
• 15:39
  Rogan. I mean the the real fascinating
• 15:42
  crypto is Bitcoin to me. I mean that's the one that I
• 15:45
  think has the most likely possibility of becoming.
• 15:51
  A universal viable currency, And it's.
• 15:55
  You know, it's limited in the amount that there can be.
• 15:58
  It's, you know, you people mind it with their own.
• 16:02
  It's like that to me is very fascinating and I love the fact
• 16:05
  that it's been implemented and that at least something like
• 16:09
  I've had Andreas Antonopoulos on the podcast and he's when he
• 16:13
  talks about it, he's living it. He's spending all of his.
• 16:19
  Everything he has paid is in Bitcoin.
• 16:21
  He pays his rent in Bitcoin. Everything he does is in
• 16:24
  Bitcoin. So again, he's getting so close.
• 16:28
  He's so close. Tim Pool by the way, very, very
• 16:32
  similar wording. They're so close.
• 16:35
  And again, the reason that we focus on these like you know,
• 16:38
  large non Bitcoin related figures is because they're large
• 16:43
  non Bitcoin related figures. They're outside of the Bitcoin
• 16:46
  echo chamber. It's people like Joe Rogan that
• 16:49
  have the ability to move the Overton window.
• 16:53
  Outside the grasp of Captured media, I would say government
• 16:57
  media, Parker Lewis, when we did an simply Bitcoin IRL, you know,
• 17:01
  I said hey, like why is the corporate media doing this?
• 17:04
  And he he stopped me and he said no, Nico is not the corporate
• 17:06
  media, this is government media. So yeah, it's outside the grass.
• 17:11
  We had an article that was released by the BBC last week
• 17:15
  that literally said that, you know.
• 17:17
  Inflation is not a tax, You know, so clearly, you know, they
• 17:20
  they they're used to controlling the information flows.
• 17:25
  And the Internet is just kind of throwing a wrench in that.
• 17:27
  And now it's giving the ability for anyone to just spin up a
• 17:31
  podcast. You know, create a Twitter
• 17:32
  account, communicate directly with their audience, right?
• 17:37
  Without the without the need of an intermediary.
• 17:40
  Anyways, now this is my take to it.
• 17:43
  I tweeted this out I think it was yesterday and it connected
• 17:46
  with a lot of people and I think it really connects with what Joe
• 17:48
  Rogan has to say. I said go on offense, force
• 17:51
  them. To answer a simple question, why
• 17:54
  are we being forced to use the money that steals from us?
• 17:56
  If enough of the populace is aware of this, we will win 100%
• 18:00
  agree. Not only not only is if is if
• 18:05
  enough of the populace is aware of this.
• 18:07
  It's also if enough of the populace is aware of it, and
• 18:10
  also buying Bitcoin and also taking that Bitcoin into self
• 18:13
  custody. That is how things change.
• 18:15
  This is not a voting thing. Voting is like you're voting
• 18:19
  either political party, you vote into power.
• 18:22
  The issue remains the same. There's a bureaucratic elite
• 18:24
  that gets create money for free that everyone else has to work
• 18:27
  for, and that completely misaligns the incentives of the
• 18:32
  ruling class and the rest the you know, the rest of us.
• 18:35
  Right. So you really do have to fix the
• 18:37
  money. If you fix the root problem, if
• 18:39
  you fix the base layer of society, I suspect a lot of
• 18:43
  these issues, whether there's social issues, cultural issues,
• 18:47
  I think they will literally just go away.
• 18:50
  Anyways, Opti, what's your take on this?
• 18:52
  And then we'll move on to Vendetta.
• 18:55
  Yeah. So first and foremost, of
• 18:58
  course, it's Bitcoin. Not crypto.
• 18:59
  We we we say that all the time. Like there's Bitcoin in the shit
• 19:02
  coins. And I I I'm just, I'm loving the
• 19:05
  fact that Joe Rogan's having this conversation with Sam
• 19:07
  Altman the world coin scam guy and chat GB T guy and he's just
• 19:11
  like, yeah, Nah, like there's Bitcoin and then the shit coin.
• 19:15
  And of course I'm sure people out there and I didn't really
• 19:17
  see people's response to this since we were busy over the
• 19:19
  weekend. But I'm sure people out there
• 19:21
  kind of still saying the same thing.
• 19:23
  They always say it's like oh why isn't Joe Rogan talking about
• 19:25
  Bitcoin more And it's like guys, that's not really his job.
• 19:28
  Like that's our job to talk about Bitcoin.
• 19:30
  But he's saying what we say all the time.
• 19:32
  You know, like there's only one viable quote UN quote crypto and
• 19:36
  that is Bitcoin and it's because it's hard cap.
• 19:38
  It is censorship resistant and I'm really glad that he did
• 19:43
  mention Andreas on Tonopolis because like Nico and I both
• 19:46
  have a, you know, a soft spot for Andreas.
• 19:48
  He's the reason why we became bitcoiners in the 1st place.
• 19:51
  I'm pretty sure we both saw Andreas videos and like that's
• 19:54
  like when we first got into Bitcoin and then we're like, Oh
• 19:57
  my God, this is incredible. And what Andreas was on Joe
• 20:01
  Rogan like, I don't know, five years ago, six years ago or
• 20:03
  something and hasn't been on since.
• 20:05
  And I think going forward in this bull run, we will see a lot
• 20:10
  more Bitcoiners coming on the show.
• 20:12
  And I think it's just going to be like part of the zeitgeist
• 20:16
  that Joe Rogan will bring them on.
• 20:17
  I'm I'm pretty sure Joe Rogan is still confirmed to be holding
• 20:20
  some coin. He is definitely, in my opinion,
• 20:24
  already a Bitcoiner. There's a lot of overlapping
• 20:27
  ideologies and hobbies that he likes with bitcoiners.
• 20:30
  But again, I just don't think it's his job to necessarily just
• 20:32
  only show Bitcoin like he's he's it's just like a world podcast.
• 20:36
  He talks about all interesting stuffs around the world and
• 20:38
  that's why we do our show. But he is going to be doing a
• 20:43
  disservice to his audience if he doesn't bring bitcoiners on.
• 20:46
  Because when it gets frothy again in the bull run, there's
• 20:50
  going to be so many people that get just like, you know,
• 20:53
  bamboozled going into the shit coin runs.
• 20:55
  I'm sure we're going to see another shit coin season coming
• 20:57
  up, and so I'd much prefer to see bitcoiners go on the show
• 21:01
  and give that pure signal, whether it's sailor or Safe Dean
• 21:05
  or, you know, like I'd love to see Eric Cason and Joe Rogan.
• 21:09
  Like you know just just or breathe love even like having
• 21:13
  these bitcoins go on the show I think would do a mega service to
• 21:18
  his audience. But I mean Joe Rogan said what
• 21:20
  they're gonna say anyways like he already said it you know
• 21:23
  Bitcoin can't be stopped. It is hard cap.
• 21:25
  It's the only viable crypto in the space and so in my opinion
• 21:29
  he gets it. It's just like it's not really
• 21:31
  his job to just go around and and just be like, you know, I
• 21:35
  know we all want the like Joe Rogan DMT moment where he's just
• 21:38
  sitting there like mind blown, like Oh my God, really like this
• 21:42
  is incredible. I think we will get that moving
• 21:44
  forward. And I I just think it's about
• 21:48
  bitcoiners. Not necessarily working on our
• 21:53
  narrative per se, but just maybe being a little patient and then
• 21:58
  kind of understanding where Joe Rogan is and what his audience
• 22:01
  wants and then angling the Bitcoin message in there.
• 22:04
  And we talk about this all the time like This is why we do our
• 22:07
  show. This is why we are simply
• 22:09
  Bitcoin is so that we can constantly cover Daily News on
• 22:13
  Bitcoin. And you know not saying that we
• 22:16
  will be Joe Rogan in the future, but like This is why we designed
• 22:20
  our show a certain way so that we can potentially start to give
• 22:24
  good media for for the average person out there.
• 22:26
  And so I think it's only a matter of time until we get
• 22:29
  really good bitcoiners on the show again.
• 22:31
  Where are the depths of a bear market right now guys?
• 22:33
  So like no one but us cares about Bitcoin at this point and
• 22:37
  so it's just a blessing and and I guess low key occurs so like
• 22:40
  we build stuff out Joe you can say in the quiet part out loud.
• 22:43
  I keep saying that I think Bitcoin has crossed the Rubicon
• 22:46
  into mainstream consciousness. I'm I'm like I know it's not
• 22:50
  actual facts but I'm I'm almost convinced that pretty much
• 22:54
  everyone in the world has heard about Bitcoin.
• 22:56
  They've got their first couple touches and it's only a matter
• 22:59
  of time until they get the next touches and they start getting
• 23:02
  involved in Bitcoin. Especially when number starts to
• 23:05
  go up again, everyone's gonna catch the FOMO and it's just
• 23:08
  gonna get crazy. So shouts at the Joe Rogan, I'm
• 23:10
  pretty sure that he's seeing what we're seeing, especially
• 23:14
  he's been covering Cbdc's digital ID systems like he's
• 23:17
  knows what's going on as well. And he, you know, has been a
• 23:22
  quote, UN quote conspiracy theorist for a long time.
• 23:24
  So I am almost positive he is looking for solutions.
• 23:28
  It's just a matter of time until he's fully on board and just
• 23:32
  like shilling Bitcoin wallets and stuff.
• 23:34
  So I think there's help moving forward.
• 23:36
  But again, I I just don't think it is Joe Rogan's job to be just
• 23:41
  a constant Bitcoin show like we are.
• 23:43
  It. It's just the the way of the
• 23:44
  beast. And so I think slowly but surely
• 23:46
  he will have more of these conversations because again, we
• 23:50
  say it all the time and and I really do believe this, like
• 23:53
  most people know what the problem is or most people like
• 23:56
  in Joe Rogan's position understand what the problem is.
• 23:59
  It's just they don't fully know that the solution is to fix the
• 24:02
  money. And so as we fix the money, as
• 24:04
  we separate money from state, as we take away the money printer
• 24:08
  from these war mongers out there like the world will slowly but
• 24:11
  surely start to fix itself. And Joe Rogan will have that
• 24:13
  mind blown moment and we can meme it and I'm sure we will
• 24:17
  parade around it. But again, Bitcoin is bigger
• 24:19
  than any one person. But I do like to see these
• 24:22
  efforts of content creators, of popular content creators
• 24:25
  breaking the echo chamber. Because that's all we're doing
• 24:28
  here guys, is trying to get Bitcoin outside of the small
• 24:31
  community that we are on Twitter or even off of Twitter.
• 24:34
  Like Bitcoin global adoption numbers are just minuscule and
• 24:38
  and I'm just convinced Bitcoin is the best money and it just
• 24:41
  blows my mind that more people aren't bitcoiners.
• 24:43
  So shouts out to people like Joe Rogan that are having these
• 24:46
  conversations and it's only going to get stronger as we move
• 24:48
  forward. So just just awesome to see.
• 24:50
  100% What's your take? Vendetta.
• 24:55
  Oh, sorry, I had you made it jump again.
• 24:59
  Absolutely agree with everything you say.
• 25:00
  Bitcoin is the future 100%. I'm totally convinced of this.
• 25:05
  And the more I see things get progressively worse around the
• 25:08
  globe, the more it solidifies the the belief that sooner or
• 25:13
  later, even the most resistant human being is going to
• 25:15
  understand that they cannot continue living in a world where
• 25:19
  their money is controlled by someone else who has this
• 25:23
  delusion, this grandeur of wanting to play God to control
• 25:27
  what you do with it. That's not what money should be,
• 25:30
  and no one should be subjected to any of it.
• 25:33
  You work for your money, You do. You decide what you do with it.
• 25:36
  It's not up to anyone else to tell you what's right and what's
• 25:39
  wrong. That must stop.
• 25:42
  And Bitcoin was created specifically to put an end to
• 25:45
  this nonsense. You know, preservation of
• 25:49
  wealth. 100% Wait, wait, Nico, how's this comment right here?
• 25:54
  Skip on down the road. Jamie, bring up that video of
• 25:57
  the bear fighting the Bitcoin. I can't wait till we have Joe
• 25:59
  Rogan bringing up memes on his show with Jamie.
• 26:02
  Ready. Bring up that Bitcoin.
• 26:03
  Oh man, dude, that, that that is going to be hilarious.
• 26:06
  We got to manifest that. Just manifest that into reality.
• 26:10
  What Bitcoin meme are is going to be featured on the Joe Rogan
• 26:14
  experience first, first? Oh man, that's gonna be that's
• 26:19
  gonna be great. It's gonna be glorious.
• 26:21
  But yeah, no listen guys, in all seriousness, people like Joe
• 26:25
  Rogan, people like Lex Friedman. I know a lot of people dislike
• 26:28
  Lex Friedman, cuz he brought metallic on people like.
• 26:33
  People like Tim Poole, right? They're so important.
• 26:37
  Russell Brand, they're so important in this movement
• 26:40
  because they're out of the corporate media or how Parker
• 26:44
  Lewis said. The government media sphere of
• 26:46
  influence. So they're not bought and paid
• 26:50
  for so to speak. And when they talk about a lot
• 26:53
  of, when they talk about Bitcoin, it holds a lot more
• 26:56
  weight than when we talk about Bitcoin.
• 26:58
  We are. If you think about it, they're
• 27:00
  at the tippity top of that funnel.
• 27:02
  We're like. We're pretty close to the top of
• 27:04
  the funnel because we're not a technical podcast, we're an
• 27:06
  entertainment focus podcast, but or show better said.
• 27:11
  But yeah, that those guys are like, you know, I bet you Tim
• 27:14
  Poole minted a crap ton of bitcoiners the moment he said.
• 27:18
  You see all this stuff that's going on with banks F that I'm
• 27:21
  going to Bitcoin, right? So we need more of that.
• 27:24
  That's how we win the race to avoid the war.
• 27:27
  That's how we win this. You know, that's how we awaken
• 27:31
  people to the reality and the dangers of central bank digital
• 27:34
  currencies because people are not aware of that.
• 27:37
  They're they're asleep, right. It's not that they don't like
• 27:40
  it. It's not that that most people
• 27:42
  are, are you know, are just inherently like.
• 27:44
  Yeah, like. So, you know, totalitarianism,
• 27:47
  this is great. They're just low information.
• 27:50
  Like they are not informed. And the information that they do
• 27:53
  get, they get it from captured corporate media, right.
• 27:57
  So it really falls down to you, the individual, you know, of
• 28:00
  course we're doing our bit, but it falls down to you to really
• 28:03
  spread the orange gospel and really tell them, hey guys, it's
• 28:08
  not left first right, it's. It's not left first right, it's.
• 28:13
  It's you know, it's not left first, right?
• 28:16
  It's orange verse green. All right, everybody, let's get
• 28:19
  to the culture. Let's do this the daily culture.

  What are you waiting for? Visit swanbitcoin.com today.
• 28:53
  All right guys, we're going to jump right into the culture.
• 28:57
  We got Vendetta, Twitter is V for BTC.
• 29:02
  Go follow him. He works with Bitcoin way they
• 29:05
  sponsored the Clips channel. If you guys are watching the
• 29:08
  clips with Dow and Ruston, then you guys have heard them
• 29:10
  already. And Vendetta, I asked Dow and
• 29:15
  Ruston if they had some questions for you guys.
• 29:18
  And I think first and foremost, let's just start with what is
• 29:21
  the Bitcoin way and what is your goal and then we'll get into
• 29:25
  some of their questions that the they thought would be very
• 29:27
  fitting for you to answer. Sure thing, man.
• 29:29
  Well, the Bitcoin, what you think of us is like the IT team
• 29:33
  in the Bitcoin space. I mean, we come from over 25
• 29:36
  years of cybersecurity, encryption and privacy and bring
• 29:39
  a lot of that knowledge, you know, into the Bitcoin space of
• 29:42
  which I've been in for a little over five years.
• 29:45
  So our mission, our objective is to fast track the onboarding of
• 29:49
  anyone into Bitcoin self custody properly and securely and we
• 29:53
  hand hold them through the entire process.
• 29:55
  So whether it's cold wallets, nodes, how to buy, no KYC,
• 29:59
  Bitcoin inheritance planning, integrating Bitcoin payments
• 30:03
  into your business, you name it, we cover it all and we make it a
• 30:08
  BC easy for anyone to to learn during the process.
• 30:12
  But we we take care of the technical stuff for them.
• 30:15
  So those that are, you know, that are nervous approaching
• 30:18
  this because of the tech. Well, we do our best to remove
• 30:21
  that anxiety that usually becomes associated with it.
• 30:26
  Love it. Yeah.
• 30:27
  I think when we first talked, I had this epiphany and I might
• 30:30
  have brought it on the show 1 day.
• 30:32
  I went to the Apple store with one of my friends and I was
• 30:35
  looking at the Apple care team like the I, I T team and I'm
• 30:38
  like wow, like Bitcoin really does need some kind of like
• 30:41
  Apple Care IT team. And I was like, oh wait like we
• 30:44
  are that Apple Care like we are the IT team and OK, all right.
• 30:48
  Anyways, that that's just me blowing my own mind.
• 30:51
  Anyways, Dow asked me to ask you if someone called you vendetta
• 30:57
  and they were like, look, I don't know anything about
• 31:00
  Bitcoin, Can you help me? Where would you start?
• 31:03
  What would you tell them? Well, the 1st 30 minutes are
• 31:07
  free in any call when when anybody calls us.
• 31:09
  So we usually start just by getting to know one another, you
• 31:11
  know, to understand you know what it is that every individual
• 31:14
  knows where they stand, you know, on the Bitcoin journey and
• 31:17
  we just have a casual conversation, you know, to see
• 31:20
  what how much FUD are they coming with or whether they
• 31:23
  actually know anything to to begin with.
• 31:26
  Then we. We explain to them the process
• 31:29
  of why Bitcoin is important so that they get into it, you know,
• 31:32
  for the right reasons. We absolutely do not want
• 31:34
  someone to go into Bitcoin, you know, with the purpose of
• 31:38
  selling it. When the price goes up to sell
• 31:39
  it back out into toilet paper, you know, that's not what this
• 31:42
  is about. So we ensure that they have
• 31:44
  fundamental understanding of where the value of Bitcoin is
• 31:48
  and what it really represents, and then we guide them through
• 31:50
  the steps necessary. I mean, we do things by phases
• 31:54
  just to break down the process because we don't want to hit
• 31:58
  individuals with a tsunami of information at once.
• 32:01
  So we usually start with the explanation around the cold
• 32:04
  wallet, which is absolutely necessary step one for any
• 32:07
  Bitcoin. And once that's done and set up
• 32:10
  properly, the default for us is an air gap set up so the device
• 32:14
  itself never goes online. Once that's handled, you know,
• 32:18
  we move on to the Bitcoin node. And that's a big one because
• 32:20
  most Bitcoin most bitcoiners don't even realize that they
• 32:23
  need one. And we push that very strongly
• 32:26
  because you are neither 100% private or sovereign if you
• 32:30
  don't have a node. It's almost like having a house
• 32:31
  with no roof. The node is a must because
• 32:36
  obviously it adds to the decentralization and strength of
• 32:39
  the overall, you know, Bitcoin network, but more specifically.
• 32:42
  It makes every individual private, whereas you're not
• 32:45
  leaving fingerprints of your Bitcoin activities all over the
• 32:48
  place. You may not be thinking about
• 32:51
  this as a big deal now you know, as bitcoins 27,000.
• 32:54
  But I can assure you, once Bitcoin goes parabolic and
• 32:57
  becomes worth millions of dollars, you're going to wish
• 32:59
  you had a node and had not left, you know, your trail of
• 33:03
  activities all over the place. So privacy is a very big deal
• 33:06
  and we make sure you know that people understand this.
• 33:10
  And once that's done, like we move on to explain what are the
• 33:13
  benefits between for learning how to buy no KYC Bitcoin.
• 33:16
  We help people through the process, we set them up with the
• 33:19
  proper wallets in case they have own Bitcoin already, which is
• 33:23
  most of the time is KYC. So we create no separate wallets
• 33:26
  for that, Keep the funds separate.
• 33:28
  Explain to them why they should never mix them.
• 33:31
  Get them involved in coin joins. You know if if privacy is a big
• 33:34
  concern for them, we really go deep but bit by bit that's
• 33:39
  that's the key for us. You know we we don't bombard
• 33:42
  them all at once. It's it's really a hand holding
• 33:45
  process, individualized and personalized and customized for
• 33:49
  everyone so that everyone's always at ease throughout the
• 33:53
  entire journey. Love it, OK?
• 33:56
  On that note, you you have been kind of talking about privacy
• 33:58
  and stuff, I think maybe out there.
• 34:02
  There's usually a few cynics in the chat.
• 34:04
  What would you respond to them saying that there is some kind
• 34:08
  of moral hazard while you're guiding people setting up their
• 34:10
  wallets and all that stuff? Like what is your incentive not
• 34:13
  to necessarily rug pull some of your individuals out there?
• 34:18
  We can't rug pull anyone. It's technically impossible
• 34:21
  because we control nothing. In fact, we just announced a new
• 34:25
  service today. I'll he'll be the first to hear
• 34:28
  about it is that we're now offering collaborative custody.
• 34:31
  We in order to maintain the standard of Bitcoin custody and
• 34:35
  we've strategically, you know partnered up with Nunchuck which
• 34:38
  is you know very popular Bitcoin wallet on that front.
• 34:42
  And now, due to heavy demand on this, we are doing collaborative
• 34:46
  custody, but in a way that keeps the individual 100% in the
• 34:49
  driver's seat. We cannot do anything as a
• 34:52
  company. All we are is think of us as
• 34:53
  sort of like a backup to one of your keys in case whatever
• 34:57
  happens to it, you lose it, you know, and so forth.
• 35:00
  So that's we've been getting a lot of, you know, people asking
• 35:04
  for these things. I'm a very big proponent of self
• 35:06
  custody. I don't believe anyone's too
• 35:09
  stupid to learn it. It's just a lot of it makes a
• 35:12
  lot of people nervous because of the tech and you know, we we
• 35:15
  guide them through the process to make the tech easy to grasp.
• 35:20
  That being said, there's still a heavy demand for those, you
• 35:23
  know, that sort of want the Peace of Mind knowing that just
• 35:26
  in case, you know, they make a mistake along the way that
• 35:28
  someone can help. And for that reason, you know,
• 35:32
  we we we put out the collaborative custody package
• 35:34
  now where we can definitely hold a backup key for anyone.
• 35:39
  It's a multi sig setup, so that automatically upgrades your
• 35:43
  single sig configuration to something technically much more
• 35:47
  secure. But without reducing your level
• 35:52
  of control over your keys, the Bitcoin weight cannot send or
• 35:55
  withdraw anything from anyone. The individual always maintains
• 35:59
  both keys, so without them nothing happens.
• 36:03
  And that's something that, you know, we emphasize very heavily
• 36:07
  so that everyone knows that when you're in self custody, you're
• 36:10
  the boss, but at the same time, the onus of responsibility is on
• 36:14
  you. This is why education and
• 36:17
  understanding this process is critical.
• 36:20
  You know, guarding your yourself custody set up is something you
• 36:24
  should, you know you should be guarding it with your life
• 36:26
  because at some point it's going to become so valuable.
• 36:30
  And if you want to pass it on to some loved ones, well you know
• 36:33
  you need to have a fundamental understanding of this and so do
• 36:36
  they. And so we were very active in
• 36:39
  that process as well to ensure that everyone coming to us from
• 36:43
  anywhere. At any at any stage, whether
• 36:46
  you're a technical person or not, it doesn't matter.
• 36:48
  We will guide you. We will fine tune your setup.
• 36:52
  Cybersecurity best tips and practices are like a de facto
• 36:57
  thing that we that we, you know, integrate for everyone.
• 37:01
  I mean, essentially we help you become a ghost.
• 37:04
  So ghost, you know, we have no point of attack.
• 37:07
  Well, then you're safer than you were when you started.
• 37:11
  And like all of these things, they happen through
• 37:13
  conversations to understand, you know, each one's needs, You know
• 37:16
  what they know, what they don't know, what they're comfortable
• 37:18
  with, what they're not comfortable with.
• 37:20
  And by the end of that conversation, we're usually able
• 37:24
  to strike a balance between security and usability.
• 37:28
  And most individuals that we've worked with so far have been
• 37:30
  extremely happy with, with the result.
• 37:33
  They've come from knowing nothing to, you know, feeling as
• 37:37
  comfortable as using a credit card when it comes to Bitcoin.
• 37:40
  And that's a win in our book. Love.
• 37:43
  It yeah, 100%. I say it all the time, you know
• 37:47
  at first before you take self custody it it seems so daunting.
• 37:52
  It's it's so terrifying. And then now after years it's
• 37:55
  like it's like sending an e-mail.
• 37:57
  So on that note, Vendetta maybe for someone that is new watching
• 38:03
  this show still has the coins on the exchange.
• 38:06
  Why is self custody the revolution?
• 38:08
  Why do they need to take self custody and maybe persuade them
• 38:13
  that it's not as terrifying as they might be thinking self
• 38:17
  custody is? Absolutely not terrifying.
• 38:20
  I mean, it's just new. That's all it is.
• 38:22
  And you know, like anything, I mean driving a car, you have to
• 38:25
  learn it. No one was born a driver.
• 38:27
  So it's just another skill that you have to learn.
• 38:29
  Leaving your money on exchange is no different than leaving
• 38:31
  your money on a bank. It does not belong to you.
• 38:33
  It can be taken away from you on a win.
• 38:36
  And if that's not abundantly clear in the last three or five
• 38:39
  years, well then I wouldn't recommend that you wait around
• 38:43
  until your turn comes because it is coming.
• 38:45
  I genuinely believe that Fiat currencies are all going to
• 38:48
  zero. It's just a question of when it
• 38:50
  reaches certain cities in certain countries.
• 38:52
  It's no longer a question of if as far as I'm concerned.
• 38:56
  So if you want any form of control over your your wealth,
• 39:00
  preservation of your wealth, you need to have full control over
• 39:04
  it. Leaving it in something that's
• 39:06
  not in your hands, that's where somebody else decides what you
• 39:09
  can and kind of do with it is is insane.
• 39:13
  I mean, I don't know what kind of life you know you want to
• 39:16
  live, but if anyone that wants to live with any form of.
• 39:20
  Dignity, integrity and self value will absolutely not allow
• 39:24
  themselves live under the dictatorship of somebody else.
• 39:28
  And if you don't control your money, you have nothing.
• 39:30
  You are a slave to the system and so in order not to fall into
• 39:34
  that trap, you need to opt out. Fortunately we have Bitcoin.
• 39:37
  It is the only exit available out there.
• 39:40
  There is nothing else, even traditional things where people
• 39:44
  used to preserve well, like golden real estate, those are
• 39:46
  not safe anymore or or are not as safe as many people think.
• 39:50
  That is a fact I've I've seen. I've seen these things stolen
• 39:54
  from folks, legitimate folks you know too many times to to even
• 39:59
  want to listen to that conversation anymore.
• 40:01
  Those shilling it are not, are doing it from a financially
• 40:05
  privileged position. They don't know what really
• 40:07
  happens when things get really bad and when they do.
• 40:10
  Let me tell you, anything physical is not safe unless you
• 40:14
  have an army behind you to protect it, which 99% of the
• 40:17
  world does not. 100% and and that's what you guys do.
• 40:21
  That's what you guys do at the Bitcoin way.
• 40:23
  You you you literally hand hold, hand hold, hand held or hand
• 40:28
  hold. I can't think of the correct
• 40:30
  terminology. Hand hold people to and and
• 40:34
  these are essentially people that have are not familiar with
• 40:36
  self custody. Perhaps they see self custody as
• 40:39
  this daunting thing, which it really isn't once you get the
• 40:42
  hang of it. I think it's a lot easier than
• 40:43
  opening a bank account in my opinion, right?
• 40:46
  But I could see why. If you spend the majority of
• 40:49
  your life in the Fiat matrix and then you come to Bitcoin, you
• 40:52
  look at that, you're like, holy cow, hell no.
• 40:55
  This stuff is absolutely terrifying.
• 40:58
  So guys, before we move on to the news and thank you so much
• 41:02

• 43:30
  We recommend the passport. It's the sleekest, the UI as
• 43:33
  awesome, and it's very, very nicely designed.
• 43:36
  Not to mention that it's open source.
• 43:39
  Anyways, check out this article by Bitcoin Magazine or friends
• 43:42
  over at Bitcoin Magazine. U.S. government frames Bitcoin
• 43:45
  privacy as Criminal New document New court document reveal that
• 43:51
  the US government frames the use of of blockchain analysis
• 43:54
  countermeasures as criminal right and this is a continuation
• 43:58
  of the trend. What trend right The remember
• 44:02
  the proposed bill by Elizabeth Warren, she she's using wording
• 44:07
  in there that would basically criminalize unhosted wallet.
• 44:11
  What is an unhosted wallet? An unhosted wallet is anything
• 44:14
  If you take self custody of your Bitcoin and it's not an
• 44:17
  exchange, it's not on a brokerage, that is an unhosted
• 44:21
  wallet, right? And why are they so hell bent on
• 44:24
  attacking privacy? Why are they so hell bent on,
• 44:29
  you know, attacking the right to self custody?
• 44:32
  Well, it's obvious because it's out of their control.
• 44:35
  And this reminds me of Before I get into the article, this
• 44:38
  reminds me of this, this passage from The Sovereign Individual, a
• 44:42
  book that we highly recommend that you read.
• 44:45
  And it goes something like this. New technologies will allow
• 44:49
  holders of wealth to bypass the national monopolies that have
• 44:52
  issued and regulated money in the modern period.
• 44:54
  Their importance for controlling the world's wealth will be
• 44:57
  transcended by mathematical algorithms that have no physical
• 45:00
  existence. In the new Millennium, cyber
• 45:02
  money controlled by private markets will supersede Fiat
• 45:06
  money issued by governments lacking their custom scope to
• 45:09
  tax and inflate. Governments, even in
• 45:11
  traditionally civil civil countries, will turn nasty.
• 45:15
  Businesses that offer services that facilitate the realization
• 45:18
  of autonomy by individuals will be subject to infiltration,
• 45:21
  sabotage, and disruption. Arbitrary forfeiture of part of
• 45:25
  property, already commonplace in the United States, where it
• 45:28
  occurs 5000 times a week, will become even more pervasive.
• 45:32
  Governments will violate human rights, censor the free flow of
• 45:35
  information, sabotage useful technologies, and worse.
• 45:40
  Right? As governments continue to lose
• 45:42
  their monopoly on the creation of money, their monopoly on
• 45:45
  information, You know, these things start to seem crazy
• 45:50
  because remember the there's there's literally in the US
• 45:54
  Constitution, specifically the 4th Amendment.
• 45:56
  It literally says no unreasonable searches and
• 45:59
  seizures. This sounds fucking totally
• 46:03
  unreasonable to me, doesn't it? Because that fundamentally what
• 46:07
  is happening is they've never had competition.
• 46:11
  More importantly, the competition that they've had in
• 46:15
  the past, they've been able to use their monopoly on violence
• 46:19
  to shut it down very, very quickly.
• 46:22
  Remember what happened when Libra announced that they were
• 46:26
  launching their own, their own currency?
• 46:30
  This is why I believe that x.com Twitter, if it's not going to go
• 46:35
  the way of PayPal, is eventually going to use Bitcoin because the
• 46:40
  only currency is the only network that governments cannot
• 46:45
  censor, that governments cannot stop, And because they can't
• 46:48
  stop it, because they can't censor it, they're forced to
• 46:51
  compete with it on equal footing anyways.
• 46:55
  It goes on to say U.S. government frames Bitcoin
• 46:58
  privacy as criminal and another unfortunate term, unfortunate
• 47:02
  term of events for anyone hoping the right to privacy to be
• 47:06
  protected as guaranteed by the US Constitution, the United
• 47:09
  Nations Declaration of Human Rights, or applicable state and
• 47:13
  federal law. The US government has argued
• 47:15
  that the disclosure of proprietary chain analysis
• 47:18
  heuristics information in the case US verse Sterling Sterling,
• 47:23
  Sterling of would quote, jeopardize numerous law
• 47:27
  enforcement investigations and impact the effectiveness of law
• 47:30
  and face law enforcement tracing tools by enabling the
• 47:34
  development of quote criminal countermeasures of blockchain of
• 47:38
  blockchain analysis. Remember we saw very similar
• 47:43
  wording when the US used North Korea as a justification to
• 47:49
  sanction open source software that has never been done in U.S.
• 47:53
  history. Sanctions are meant for
• 47:56
  government. Sanctions are meant for
• 47:58
  individual businesses or individuals.
• 48:01
  They were never met for software.
• 48:03
  Software is a tool, right? It's a tool.
• 48:06
  Anyone could use it. And if you set that precedent of
• 48:11
  being able to sanction certain open source software, you know
• 48:16
  what else is open source software?
• 48:19
  Bitcoin. How long until they say we can't
• 48:22
  have Bitcoin because it's a threat to US sanction policy?
• 48:27
  How long are they going to say we can't have Bitcoin because it
• 48:32
  becomes incredibly hard for us to surveil things because this
• 48:37
  is the direction that it's going.
• 48:39
  This is the inevitable clash that Corey Clifton, CEO Swan, is
• 48:43
  talking about in the race to avoid the war.
• 48:46
  This is why it's so important that you take it upon yourself
• 48:51
  to orange pill. As many people around you as
• 48:54
  fast as possible. Don't get distracted with the
• 48:57
  left and right. Don't get distracted with the
• 48:59
  Republican versus Democrat or in your country, the conservative
• 49:03
  versus liberal right. It is not.
• 49:06
  That's not the fight. That's the divide and conquer
• 49:09
  strategy. Get in tune with what's really
• 49:12
  going on. It's really the party of
• 49:14
  freedom, peace, Bitcoin, prosperity versus the party of
• 49:18
  green. The party of nihilism, war,
• 49:20
  poverty, destruction. That's really what's at stake
• 49:24
  here. When I mean Bitcoin or slavery,
• 49:26
  I'm not exaggerating. And beauty on at bit block Boom
• 49:29
  said it even better. No, Nico, it's not Bitcoin or
• 49:32
  slavery. It is Bitcoin or death, right?
• 49:35
  It's very strong words, but I agree with him anyways.
• 49:38
  It goes on to say the oath each and every U.S. government
• 49:41
  employee pledges when first taking office reads.
• 49:45
  I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the
• 49:47
  Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
• 49:50
  foreign and domestic, that I will be that I will bear true
• 49:53
  faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this
• 49:56
  obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of
• 50:00
  evasion, and that I will well and faithfully the start
• 50:03
  discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to
• 50:06
  enter. So help me God.
• 50:08
  Apparently, this oath is only applicable so long.
• 50:11
  So long it serves the US government's agenda.
• 50:14
  While attempting to retain a protective order to seal the
• 50:17
  disclosure of chain analysis heuristic information, the US
• 50:21
  government has in essence, argued that the right to privacy
• 50:24
  does not exist when transacting on the blockchain.
• 50:27
  In the newly released court documents, the US government
• 50:30
  defined software developed to protect individuals financial
• 50:33
  privacy on the blockchain, such as coin joins as adversarial,
• 50:38
  contending that the disclosure of chain analysis, training
• 50:40
  methods and techniques bears the response a reasonable
• 50:44
  expectation to enable circumvention of the law.
• 50:49
  That's right, your privacy, because you're seeking privacy.
• 50:53
  They're literally telling you because you're seeking privacy,
• 50:56
  even though you're not committing a crime, you're
• 50:57
  circumventing the law. This is crazy, crazy rhetoric.
• 51:01
  This is crazy. They're telling you how they
• 51:04
  feel about this and connect us with the wording coming out of
• 51:08
  the Elizabeth Warren bill. Connect us with the wording that
• 51:12
  came out of the Presidential economic report that was a hit
• 51:15
  piece towards Bitcoin, towards non government money.
• 51:19
  And it was, it was advocating for, you know, what central bank
• 51:23
  digital currencies, you know what central bank digital
• 51:26
  currencies is not going to allow.
• 51:27
  It's not going to allow privacy. It's going to allow total
• 51:30
  totalitarian control of your money by governments.
• 51:35
  So they're setting the frame, They're using the rhetoric,
• 51:38
  they're using very aggressive rhetoric to try to villainize
• 51:43
  Bitcoin in the eyes of the uninformed.
• 51:46
  Which is why we were talking about Joe Rogan in the very
• 51:49
  beginning of the show, because people like Joe Rogan, they have
• 51:53
  such a large platform, they could talk about this stuff.
• 51:56
  In fact, he has talked about Cbdc's.
• 52:01
  Unfortunately, the people that benefit from the Fiat money
• 52:05
  printer, in fact their jobs depend on it, are obviously not
• 52:10
  going to be fans of Bitcoin because that means it's the end
• 52:14
  of the racket. It is the end of this wealth
• 52:18
  redistribution mechanism that affects the lower and middle
• 52:22
  classes the most because they don't have the means to save an
• 52:24
  assets back to the back to the government and back to the very
• 52:28
  wealthy. It's the end of the party.
• 52:31
  So they're going to attack, they're going to attack Bitcoin
• 52:34
  with everything they have. And This is why we have to
• 52:37
  garner enough popular support, enough people need to be holding
• 52:41
  Bitcoin in those said countries because we do become an
• 52:44
  intransigent minority. At that point.
• 52:47
  It's like, you know, all you need is like 5 to 10% of the
• 52:50
  population that does not move on the issue and it becomes
• 52:54
  incredibly difficult to pass anti Bitcoin legislation.
• 52:58
  The gun lobby in the US is a great example of that.
• 53:02
  Try passing a gun law in the US. It is incredibly difficult, if
• 53:06
  not impossible. Why?
• 53:08
  Because a large portion of the population loves guns.
• 53:12
  So I hope we can get there fast enough before they roll out the
• 53:18
  CBD C's. Because I suspect once they roll
• 53:20
  out the CBD C's I don't think they're going to want
• 53:23
  competition to be honest with you.
• 53:25
  Anyways, it goes on to say unfortunately it is unclear
• 53:28
  which laws the US government is referring to.
• 53:30
  The arguments that the disclosure would enable, quote
• 53:33
  criminals, drug trafficking organizations, and terrorists to
• 53:36
  circumvent law enforcement cannot be made in good faith as
• 53:39
  chain analysis is Own 2023 Crypto Crime Report has found
• 53:44
  the overall transaction volume of illicit activity to lay at a
• 53:47
  merely .24%. Not to mention that the fact the
• 53:51
  the the the vast majority of criminal activity, drug
• 53:55
  trafficking and terrorism, what they use is U.S. dollars.
• 54:00
  OK, they use Fiat currencies. So why are they so focused on
• 54:06
  this tiny percentage? I mean, it's obvious they don't
• 54:11
  like competition. Just as the early Internet was
• 54:14
  allegedly only used for crime, the share of daytoday commerce
• 54:18
  on the blockchain increases. That Bitcoin adoption grows
• 54:21
  therefore, cannot be argued that the development of privacy
• 54:24
  protection protecting software is adversarial in any sense of
• 54:28
  the world, except to chain analysis, business model, and
• 54:31
  the surveillance agenda of the US intelligence complex who
• 54:34
  invested 1.6 million in chain analysis in 2020 and another
• 54:39
  1.64 million in 2021 via the CIA's venture capital fund in Q
• 54:46
  Tel. As long as the development and
• 54:49
  use of privacy protecting software such as PGP, E to EE or
• 54:54
  VPN's cannot be deemed as criminal under the 1st and 4th
• 54:57
  Amendment, neither can the development or use of software
• 55:00
  aim to protect one's financial privacy in Bitcoin.
• 55:03
  However, it appears that constitutional frameworks do not
• 55:06
  stop the US government from putting forward statements which
• 55:09
  directly undermine the people's right to protect from unwanted
• 55:13
  surveillance. Verifying blockchain
• 55:15
  surveillance countermeasures such as criminal is Jews is just
• 55:18
  another step the US government has been taking towards total
• 55:21
  surveillance of U.S. citizens communications in recent years.
• 55:25
  In 2015, Congress voted for the prolonging of the Patriot Act
• 55:29
  via via the US Freedom Act, which continues to allow the
• 55:33
  bulk collection of telecommunication data via
• 55:36
  telecommunication providers and the proposed Earn It Act, which
• 55:40
  would in essence would outlaw end to end encryption.
• 55:43
  So far, the only attempt to circumvent the the law in the US
• 55:46
  government's response to minute order is to be found in its own
• 55:50
  argument argumentation. So again, like the the Earn It
• 55:55
  Act, the the the Act proposed by Elizabeth Warren, that would be
• 56:00
  a de facto ban on Bitcoin in the United States.
• 56:04
  Like whose side are these people really on?
• 56:07
  Like, that's the question that I have for you guys, like this is
• 56:09
  absolutely bonkers. Even in the US where the
• 56:12
  Constitution, the Constitution, even though no one's following
• 56:15
  that nowadays, the constitution specifically says you cannot do
• 56:20
  these things. It looks like they don't give a
• 56:22
  flying fuck. And why don't they give a flying
• 56:25
  fuck? Well, it's obvious they do not
• 56:29
  like competition and they see Bitcoin as a clear and present
• 56:34
  danger when there's competition. You know, all of a sudden, yeah,
• 56:39
  Bitcoins for terrorism, Bitcoin is for extremists, Bitcoin is
• 56:43
  for drug dealers. Bitcoin is what about dollars?
• 56:47
  They just put their head in the sand.
• 56:48
  They completely ignore the dollars aspect of that.
• 56:50
  They completely ignore the fact that, you know, the Mexican
• 56:53
  cartels, you know, you know what they like?
• 56:54
  They like hard, hard, cold cash. They they ignore that aspect.
• 56:58
  No, it Bitcoin is the boogeyman, right.
• 57:02
  So look, their hope is that enough people read this that are
• 57:07
  uninformed. That's their hope.
• 57:10
  Because as soon as people are informed with the truth, as soon
• 57:13
  as people are informed with the facts, and they're able to make
• 57:18
  good decisions based on reality and truth, they have no choice.
• 57:23
  They have no hope in trying to convince the American public of
• 57:26
  what's going on. So it falls down to you to share
• 57:30
  this type of content, to be informed with the facts so that
• 57:33
  when you go to your Thanksgiving dinner, you know, and and Uncle
• 57:37
  Jim is like Bitcoin is for terrorism, you're gonna say no,
• 57:41
  I got the facts. The US dollar has been the one
• 57:44
  used for terrorism, right. So, yeah, that's my take on
• 57:48
  that, Opti. I'm curious what you think.
• 57:50
  And then we'll move on to vendetta.
• 57:51
  Yeah, I mean, I've said it on the.
• 57:52
  Show plenty of times. We all know that the dollar
• 57:56
  paper money is is the real money of criminals.
• 57:59
  But I find it absolutely incredible that they will use
• 58:03
  this narrative that Bitcoin is for money launderers, Bitcoin is
• 58:06
  for financial criminals, and and they're going to constantly use
• 58:08
  this until it is no longer worth its salt.
• 58:13
  Because the field world is terrified.
• 58:15
  And of course they understand what we understand.
• 58:18
  Bitcoin can't be stopped. It is hard capped.
• 58:21
  It is censorship resistant. It is decentralized, so outside
• 58:24
  of the control of these people. It is synonymous.
• 58:26
  So you don't know whose money is who and it is fully transparent.
• 58:30
  So of course all these features combined are why they're
• 58:33
  absolutely terrified, because they want a money that they can
• 58:36
  fully control, they won't fully survey.
• 58:38
  And here we are as bitcoiners, and it's only 14 years old and
• 58:42
  it's already out of their control.
• 58:43
  It's already a little too little, too late.
• 58:46
  And so of course the Fiat parasites want to stop Bitcoin,
• 58:48
  or rather attempt to stop Bitcoin.
• 58:51
  And This is why they try to paint us all as criminals.
• 58:54
  And This is why they're fighting privacy technology and shouts
• 58:58
  out to Lola leads for continuously covering this
• 59:00
  theme. She's been doing a very, very
• 59:02
  great job. And another piece Lola covered
• 59:04
  that the Chain Analysis CEO. Admitted that their black box
• 59:08
  software isn't a set in stone as chain Anal would like you to
• 59:12
  believe. Like it basically is guessing
• 59:15
  and putting people in jail and they admit this stuff.
• 59:18
  And now we have a further proof that the US government is doing
• 59:22
  PR for chain analysis and so that they can continue to put
• 59:26
  people in jail. Continue to put innocent people
• 59:28
  in jail, by the way. And this is like where we are
• 59:31
  right now, that they're like, yeah, you know.
• 59:35
  It would. It would you know it wouldn't
• 59:38
  protect people if we told you guys what the software is that
• 59:41
  chain analysis is running like it.
• 59:43
  It's going to help criminals. It's like, yo, you are literally
• 59:45
  hurting citizens right now and it almost seems like chain
• 59:48
  analysis is the real criminals. But of course you know criminals
• 59:52
  covering for other criminals. It's all part of the game.
• 59:55
  But we know and history has shown this that the real
• 1:00:00
  criminals use dollar. Real criminals want dollars and.
• 1:00:04
  Just because Bitcoin is, you know, a fringe technology, it's
• 1:00:09
  on the edge. It's cutting edge technology.
• 1:00:12
  We see this happen all the time. The illiterate luddites that are
• 1:00:16
  known as politicians constantly do the same thing.
• 1:00:19
  They're even doing this to AI or they did it to e-mail and the
• 1:00:22
  Internet. Like they constantly are just in
• 1:00:26
  perpetual fear of new technology because they know that they
• 1:00:29
  can't control this technology and they're trying to protect
• 1:00:32
  their jobs. Like we see this happen in every
• 1:00:35
  space, let alone when you find a new technology or rather build a
• 1:00:39
  new technology that is the best money in the world.
• 1:00:42
  And the only way they are able to do what they do is because of
• 1:00:45
  the money, because of the control of the money.
• 1:00:48
  It's just very obvious why they constantly fight Bitcoin.
• 1:00:51
  It's obvious why they always paint bitcoiners, it's
• 1:00:53
  criminals. It's obvious why they use the
• 1:00:56
  low hanging fruit of bitcoiners or money launderers is because
• 1:00:59
  they have rules that they can attack you with these with this
• 1:01:02
  very simple pretense. And here we are.
• 1:01:05
  They're just trying to fit, you know, the round peg in a square
• 1:01:08
  hole or square peg in a round hole so that they can try to
• 1:01:11
  gaslight and stop the adoption of Bitcoin.
• 1:01:13
  But I would say it's a little too little, too late.
• 1:01:16
  But I mean it just it's it's absolutely disgusting that the
• 1:01:19
  US government is playing PR for chain analysis when when they're
• 1:01:25
  admitting that their software is basically broken and here we are
• 1:01:29
  like it's peak. I want to say peak clown wall,
• 1:01:32
  but it's not it's probably going to get crazier.
• 1:01:34
  But hey man, This is why we tell you guys to run nodes to take
• 1:01:37
  Bitcoin into self custody, to coin join like you know download
• 1:01:41
  Sparrow wallet. People are asking, they haven't,
• 1:01:43
  they haven't downloaded a node. They've not running nodes.
• 1:01:47
  Guys, it's very simple. Like the hardest part for a note
• 1:01:49
  is probably verifying the the, the, you know, the the file that
• 1:01:55
  you downloaded is actually what you think it is and it's not
• 1:01:59
  some kind of spyware. So like it's it's literally
• 1:02:01
  pressing buttons guys. So like you need to do this if
• 1:02:05
  you are taking this Bitcoin thing seriously because you
• 1:02:08
  cannot trust anyone with your money.
• 1:02:10
  And here we are like it. It keeps playing out over and
• 1:02:13
  over and over until everyone wakes up to the idea that like,
• 1:02:16
  oh, I either need an Uncle Jim or I need to become Uncle Jim
• 1:02:20
  for my friends and family. So here we are guys.
• 1:02:23
  It is the bear market. Now is the time to run nodes, to
• 1:02:27
  take Bitcoin off exchanges, to consolidate UTXO's because it's
• 1:02:31
  going to get crazy and you do not want to get caught up in the
• 1:02:34
  FOMO. Anyways.
• 1:02:37
  Vendetta. What's your thoughts on this?
• 1:02:38
  Absolutely. Man, I couldn't have.
• 1:02:40
  Said it any better, we are living in a world of legalized
• 1:02:43
  lawlessness, as far as I see it, and this must come to an end.
• 1:02:47
  I mean, this is clearly a criminal organization at work.
• 1:02:51
  There is absolutely no accountability for anyone.
• 1:02:55
  And that's that's not right. I mean, there's the law is there
• 1:02:58
  for a reason, but no one seems to be following it and no one
• 1:03:00
  seems to be doing anything about it.
• 1:03:04
  Governments, you know, were put in place, you know, by the
• 1:03:08
  people. And you know, on the other side,
• 1:03:10
  we, the people have the power to take them out.
• 1:03:13
  And so we should, because if they're not doing their job
• 1:03:15
  well, then they're not supposed to be there.
• 1:03:17
  And Bitcoin is the peaceful way of going on about this.
• 1:03:21
  I mean, historically, tyranny has only been removed in one
• 1:03:24
  way, and that's violence. Bitcoin gives us, you know, for
• 1:03:26
  the first time, the peaceful way of doing this.
• 1:03:29
  Everybody needs to understand that they do have a choice, a
• 1:03:32
  choice to exit the system that's designed to keep them enslaved.
• 1:03:37
  You work day and night. Your money is losing value and
• 1:03:39
  your tax on top of it. So what's really left?
• 1:03:42
  If if you have a family, it is your job, It's your
• 1:03:45
  responsibility to at least study Bitcoin enough and get off 0 to,
• 1:03:51
  you know, preserve something for the next generation.
• 1:03:55
  We tell everyone get off 0. Get as close as you possibly can
• 1:03:59
  to one Bitcoin as fast as you can.
• 1:04:01
  And if, don't worry about the technical stuff, if you need
• 1:04:04
  help, there's plenty of help. We're here to help you.
• 1:04:07
  We're here to hand hold you to the entire process.
• 1:04:09
  But you cannot continue living your life, you know, under
• 1:04:12
  somebody else's dictatorship. It's just not the way to do it.
• 1:04:19
  100 percent, 100%. And I agree, man, that there's
• 1:04:22
  no excuse, there's no excuse at this point, you know, not to opt
• 1:04:26
  out. There's no excuse not to take
• 1:04:28
  self custody. I think we're more than that
• 1:04:31
  point. Opti was mentioning nodes
• 1:04:33
  before. Definitely check out Start Nine.
• 1:04:35
  It's the one I personally use. It's freaking awesome.
• 1:04:38
  Or you could just download Bitcoin Core on an old laptop.
• 1:04:41
  There's absolutely no excuse to literally stop trusting someone
• 1:04:46
  else's copy of the Bitcoin blockchain.
• 1:04:48
  Use your own copy of the Bitcoin blockchain, right?
• 1:04:51
  You know, take self custody of your Bitcoin.
• 1:04:53
  There's so many great hardware wallets.
• 1:04:55
  There's so many great ones to choose from.
• 1:04:58
  Like it's just like it's so obvious right at this point with
• 1:05:02
  clown world breaking down. You know Bitcoin provides this,
• 1:05:05
  like you know this orange life raft where you can find, you can
• 1:05:09
  find peace there, you know. So anyways, before we move on
• 1:05:13
  to, before we move on to. The memes I'm gonna give a shout

  kaboom rack steals. Anyways, everybody, let's get to
• 1:06:12
  the meme review. The daily meme review.
• 1:06:26
  Alright guys, here we are. This is the meme review where
• 1:06:29
  you send us memes on Twitter. Tag me at Simply Bitcoin TV or
• 1:06:34
  at Optimist Fields. Don't just tag your favorite
• 1:06:37
  memes, tag your own memes. I'm OK with a little bit of
• 1:06:40
  nepotism on the meme reviews. I just need memes.
• 1:06:42
  Guys. I was talking to TK.
• 1:06:44
  He's in our Telegram group. T dot me simply Bitcoin And I
• 1:06:49
  was telling him, guys, we need more memes, so drop the tweets
• 1:06:53
  in our telegram group. I look at them every single
• 1:06:56
  morning. It's a lively conversation, but
• 1:06:58
  it's lacking in tweets. Guys, give me the tweet so I can
• 1:07:02
  get them on the show. Anyways, you already know tweets
• 1:07:05
  of the bullets, memes of the artillery.
• 1:07:06
  We are in an information war and it's upon us as bitcoiners to
• 1:07:11
  spread the Bitcoin signal. There is no Bitcoin marketing
• 1:07:14
  team. You are the marketing team.
• 1:07:16
  So make the memes, get the cause of actions out there, ridicule
• 1:07:19
  the corporate press, make some funny so your friends head stay
• 1:07:22
  in the game. This is all part of the journey.
• 1:07:25
  Get the cause of actions out there so that more bitcoiners
• 1:07:28
  are born every single block. Anyways, 1st meme is by run the
• 1:07:33
  banks AKA at empty under score banks.
• 1:07:35
  He goes every time they drop another sign up.
• 1:07:38
  I like stacking more Bitcoin and we got a I think there's like a
• 1:07:41
  Greek or a Roman statue here and it goes.
• 1:07:43
  Do not concede revolt and it's a peaceful revolution.
• 1:07:47
  All you got to do is just stack some stats guys.
• 1:07:49
  Opt out of the madness, opt out of the Fiat game and build a
• 1:07:53
  better life on Bitcoin. All right, this next one, this
• 1:07:56
  one's, this one might get a little clunky, but I absolutely
• 1:07:59
  love this one. Shout out the Greg's eyes Greg's
• 1:08:02
  eyes one on Twitter and he goes loving this remix feature on Mid
• 1:08:06
  Journey for Fake Toshi. And I'm a little colorblind so
• 1:08:09
  this one's a little hard for me to see.
• 1:08:11
  I I I can't make out the patterns on this one but they
• 1:08:13
  get clear as we go on guys. So here's the first one it's
• 1:08:17
  it's almost like there's. Someone there behind this
• 1:08:20
  flaming building? Oh wait, is this fake Toshi in
• 1:08:23
  his red shirt? Oh my goodness.
• 1:08:25
  Wait, what is going on? Burning buildings.
• 1:08:27
  But it looks like fake Toshi. Absolutely amazing.
• 1:08:30
  Good stuff, Greg. ZAJ, this is what we mean by
• 1:08:32
  mimetic warfare. OK, next one.
• 1:08:35
  Not that Elon at Eggplant under score Elon and he goes me.
• 1:08:40
  Why am I so broke all the time? Everyone stop buying Bitcoin all
• 1:08:43
  the time, then me. No, not that.
• 1:08:46
  Something else. There's another reason why I'm
• 1:08:47
  broke and it's not because I constantly buy Bitcoin.
• 1:08:50
  What's the reason that we're broke?
• 1:08:51
  HM what is wrong with the money? Maybe it's the money stupid.
• 1:08:57
  Maybe they're printing obscenes amount of money.
• 1:08:59
  But I do buy a lot of Bitcoin and this is probably why I'm
• 1:09:01
  broke. Anyways, this next meme is by at
• 1:09:03
  low Jack Bitcoin and goes Bitcoin is inevitable.
• 1:09:06
  Flames, flames, and we got a shadowy super coder that's not a
• 1:09:10
  Bitcoin. And he goes, every
• 1:09:11
  cryptocurrency that was created before Bitcoin failed, and
• 1:09:14
  Bitcoin will fail as well. And we got the Chad Bitcoin that
• 1:09:17
  goes E cash, B money. Bitcoin and hash cash failed
• 1:09:20
  because they were not decentralized.
• 1:09:21
  Bitcoin is inevitable. Bitcoin is literally
• 1:09:24
  decentralized money in the world.
• 1:09:27
  No one controls it. That's why we're telling you to
• 1:09:29
  run nodes, so that you can help decentralize the network.
• 1:09:33
  But just running a node doesn't mean anything.
• 1:09:35
  You need to run a node and then verify your transactions with
• 1:09:38
  that node. It needs to have economic weight
• 1:09:40
  behind it. Just running a node means
• 1:09:43
  nothing. Don't just spin up a node
• 1:09:46
  because it's cool. You need to spin up a node and
• 1:09:49
  then connect it to your wallets and verify your transactions.
• 1:09:52
  Anyways, this next meme is by the BTC therapist and he goes,
• 1:09:55
  sometimes the truth hurts and we got that picture of the like
• 1:09:59
  sailor girl and she's holding up a sign and it goes, the banks
• 1:10:03
  don't have your money and it's got a Bitcoin.
• 1:10:05
  Lego guys, it's it's so simple. The banks literally don't have
• 1:10:08
  your money. Fractional reserve banking and
• 1:10:11
  they dropped the limit in 2020. Like it used to be 10%.
• 1:10:15
  They only hold 10% of your money.
• 1:10:16
  Now it's literally zero. They don't have your money.
• 1:10:18
  Like there's literally no money in banks.
• 1:10:20
  They lend it all out and you expect your money to be there.
• 1:10:24
  When shit hits the fan guys become your own.
• 1:10:26
  Banks opt out of this stuff. Hold Bitcoin, hold hard asses.
• 1:10:30
  Hold the best money in the world.
• 1:10:32
  It is Bitcoin. We're in a digital world.
• 1:10:34
  You want some digital money for the digital age.
• 1:10:37
  Anyways, next meme is my at 21 JCLP and he's been killing it.
• 1:10:43
  And I saw this first from Sailor and it was just fine Bitcoin.
• 1:10:46
  And then I noticed that our boy 21 JCLP is the one that made it.
• 1:10:52
  So it's like a crazy a I picture and it's an eye, but it's got
• 1:10:57
  the Bitcoin logo in the eye and I don't know, it's got all kinds
• 1:11:00
  of crazy stuff out here. Maybe like cipher punk stuff,
• 1:11:03
  samurai warrior coats. I don't even know what it is,
• 1:11:05
  but super tight. Great job.
• 1:11:08
  All right, this next one is, I don't even think this guy's
• 1:11:11
  necessarily a Bitcoiner. Now he's a Bitcoiner.
• 1:11:14
  Cool small account. Paolo Bagu at the real Paolo
• 1:11:18
  Bagu and he is dropped a meme on Max Kaiser's tweet and Max
• 1:11:23
  Kaiser goes let's not forget who finances the primary cause of
• 1:11:25
  all the misery. Central banks, including the
• 1:11:28
  IMS. Bitcoin fixes this, but that's not what I wanted to put
• 1:11:30
  on. It's just a classic Ron Paul and
• 1:11:32
  we got a picture of Ron Paul here with a quote.
• 1:11:35
  And I think it is very fitting that we end the meme review on
• 1:11:39
  today's show, considering all the crazy stuff happening in the
• 1:11:42
  world. It's a Ron Paul quote that says
• 1:11:44
  it is no coincidence that the century of Total War coincided
• 1:11:47
  with the century of central bacon.
• 1:11:51
  Guys, there is no coincidence. What do you always say, Nico?
• 1:11:53
  There's no coincidence. There's no accidents or
• 1:11:55
  coincidence. There's no conspiracies.
• 1:11:57
  But there's. No, Yes, exactly.
• 1:12:01
  We live in some crazy times. Opt out of this madness.
• 1:12:04
  Saving Bitcoin. Protect yourself.
• 1:12:06
  This is what it's about, guys. Don't You don't need to do
• 1:12:08
  Bitcoin to be altruistic. Like some Bitcoin is like just
• 1:12:11
  say Bitcoin to protect yourself. It's OK guys.
• 1:12:14
  We are going through crazy times.
• 1:12:16
  You need to have some savings. You need to have some money
• 1:12:19
  outside the system. Because when shit hits the fan,
• 1:12:22
  we already know where it is headed.
• 1:12:23
  The banks don't have your money, guys.
• 1:12:27
  All right. Anyways, drive your meme review
• 1:12:28
  score on the other side of Nico and we will cover hours live.
• 1:12:32
  My meme review score again. I'm in my dad's office right
• 1:12:35
  now. Some good score.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah, he's got all kinds of crazy stuff.
• 1:12:39
  He's got this. I think it's a a railroad spike
• 1:12:45
  that was used on the railroad. I think it's steel.
• 1:12:47
  It looks old. It's like even cracked.
• 1:12:49
  Like actually used. Damn.
• 1:12:52
  Railroad Spike. Damn, that's a.
• 1:12:55
  Good score anyways. And data.
• 1:12:56
  What would you give those memes and and eight out of 10?
• 1:13:02
  OK. OK, let's go Classic score I.
• 1:13:05
