- 0:58they do which of course you know it's a protects protects a
- 1:02consumer, you know a scam exchanges like FTX and finance.

- 1:10interesting as well, right? Gemini is an article by
- 1:14Bloomberg announced that it's looking to move its operations
- 1:19overseas. So it's a continuation of this,
- 1:22right? It's a continuation of Finance
- 1:24did the same thing. Ft x is the same thing.
- 1:26You have Gemini doing the same thing.
- 1:29I think the next bull market and maybe this is way too too
- 1:34aggressive to say this but I think a lot of the is, yeah,
- 1:37it's the first two minutes. I can't curse the a lot of the
- 1:40altcoins shenanigans. I don't think they'll be able
- 1:43to. I don't think these scammers
- 1:45will be able to get away with the things that they were able
- 1:49to get away with last Bull, Run just as 2021 or 2017. 2017 was
- 1:54the Wild West for anyone who wasn't there, right?
- 1:56Like anything went and I think with this regulatory Onslaught
- 2:01that's coming, I think I think a lot of these things won't be
- 2:06possible. So we're going to talk about
- 2:08today, we're going to talk about that.
- 2:09Today we're going to talk about Bitcoin mining.
- 2:12Tether getting into Bitcoin mining which is really
- 2:14interesting Texas. Again, securing itself as the
- 2:18Bitcoin mining State the Bitcoin Alamo State.
- 2:21Like I like to call it. So very, very bullish news
- 2:24today. Wow, Don't Mess with Texas.
- 2:27I guess. Anyways, before we start the
- 2:28show in a bring up my legendary co-host.
- 2:29Always optimistic wakes up with a smile on his face.

- 2:46excited for today's episode. I hope we get another Nika Jun
- 2:49thread because yesterday he went absolutely bananas.
- 2:52Love to see it. And then of course in the
- 2:54culture we got a we got a special guest today Jedi.
- 2:57So we're going to talk all things about what Jedi's up to
- 3:00Tripoli memes, all that good stuff on Twitter.
- 3:03So let's just bring him in and let's get this show started.
- 3:06Yeah, 100% and our special guest, part of the triple Elite
- 3:10meme crew. How you doing?
- 3:11A Jedi. What's up, dude?
- 3:13Good morning, gentlemen, how are you doing?
- 3:16Good, but I'd be here happy to have you on the show and I'm
- 3:19excited. So I decided to talk about
- 3:21triple the yeah, Phil set Phil. See says it himself.
- 3:25The ico's in 2017 were out of control.
- 3:28Yeah, they can't do that anymore.
- 3:29They can't do that anymore. But, you know, don't, it's after
- 3:32the first two minutes so you can't.
- 3:34But the first, the shit Corners are very inventive and they'll
- 3:36definitely figure out a way next bull market.
- 3:39Make no mistake but at least in the u.s.
- 3:41I think it's going to be difficult for them.
- 3:43To sell their junk without you know the SEC stepping in saying
- 3:47oh they look you guys are clearly selling securities.
- 3:50It's not me just saying that to it's like, Michael sailor has
- 3:52said this as well. Right.
- 3:54Clearly, you know, Regulators are getting a tremendous amount
- 3:56of pressure, they were completely embarrassed after the
- 4:00FTX debacle. Like that was a disaster.
- 4:03I made a lot of people, look bad.
- 4:04Anyways, everybody. No more delay.
- 4:06Let's jump straight into numbers.
- 4:07We got a lot to talk about. Let's check it out.

- 5:59and the market capitalization of Bitcoin 522 billion dollars with
- 6:05a B. So we are talking about the
- 6:08regulatory environment earlier on and specifically in the state
- 6:11of Texas. I actually have a clip for you
- 6:13guys. I'm going to play it and then
- 6:15we'll talk about it. Let's check it out.
- 6:18Millions of people lost money in last year's collapse of the FTX
- 6:22crypto currency exchange. But a bill that's been sent to
- 6:25the governor's desk. Now, aims to regulate, this kind
- 6:28of digital banking in Texas, here's Cave, used, are Anisha
- 6:32heron If you're one of the millions of Texans who have
- 6:36invested in cryptocurrency odds, are you use the app like Robin
- 6:40Hood, or coinbase to do so? Well, House, Bill. 1666 would
- 6:45make sure your money isn't caught up in fraud or stolen by
- 6:48these companies. We've seen it happen before with
- 6:51many digital asset providers. But notably what used to be one
- 6:55of the largest crypto currency exchange platforms.
- 6:58FTX, the leaders of that company are still facing litigation
- 7:03after being accused Taking billions of dollars from
- 7:05customers house, bill 1666 would prevent that by requiring
- 7:11digital asset providers to maintain enough funds to ensure
- 7:14customers can withdraw their assets at any time.
- 7:18Eliminate commingling, customer funds with company assets and
- 7:22present. A report to the Department of
- 7:24banking for a yearly audit state, representative Giovanni
- 7:28Capri Glee own presented, the bill and feels confident, it
- 7:31will become law pending the governor's signature.
- 7:33Miniature, you will be comfortable knowing that when
- 7:36you invest online, when you're buying cryptos, when you're
- 7:39trading it, when you're selling you, that those assets are being
- 7:42washed, that they are being managed and that there's an
- 7:45audit trail that protects those asses failure to comply would
- 7:48lead to punishments ranging from a loss of license or criminal
- 7:52charges Capri. Lyon says, cryptocurrency is
- 7:55being regulated all over the world but Texas would be one of
- 7:59the first in the u.s. to do so so he hopes the federal
- 8:02government will follow. Suit and lightly regulate
- 8:06cryptocurrency at the state capitol?
- 8:08I'm Darren Isha Heron. All right, first of all great
- 8:13reporting second of all. So it sounds like they don't
- 8:20want partially reserved exchanges, but what about Banks,
- 8:24bro? Ha ha, ha, is that interesting?
- 8:31Is like no, it's like exchange of like, you know, shit coin
- 8:34exchanges. It can't do.
- 8:34This has to be one to one backed.
- 8:37But, you know, I love how banks are just like doing risky shit
- 8:41as well, but they're just held to like a different standard
- 8:44which I find fascinating, but I mean, this is good.
- 8:46This is great concern. Zoomer protection obviously, but
- 8:49at the end of the day, not your keys, not your Bitcoin, right?
- 8:53I like it, like you still even if you let's say, even if, for
- 8:58some reason you decided to use FTX to buy your Bitcoin, I have
- 9:02no idea why. But let's say, you thought that
- 9:05was a good idea, even if you used FTX to buy Bitcoin and you
- 9:09every time you bought it you took it into self custody.
- 9:12You still would have avoided disaster.
- 9:13Right? So I mean maybe this creates
- 9:17more And consumers, but at the same time, what we should really
- 9:20be pushing is people individuals, taking Bitcoin into
- 9:24self custody like that is really what's going to really move.
- 9:28The Mark is when Millions upon millions of individuals, all
- 9:32around the world are holding their own Keys.
- 9:35That's really. When are holding their own
- 9:38wealth holding their own money, I think that's really what's
- 9:41going to change things. I think, you know, if People's
- 9:44wealth are an exchange, it's very easy to be co-opted.
- 9:47Goodbye. A government to be taken over by
- 9:49a government. I think what we need is
- 9:51decentralization of wealth, right?
- 9:53Like we need people holding their own well, and we live in a
- 9:56world right now where people have outsourced that personal
- 9:59responsibility to Banks and that gives Banks tremendous amount of
- 10:03power. So, yeah, I mean, that's what I
- 10:07would like to see. I would like to see, you know,
- 10:10people taking into self custody and again it's very interesting
- 10:14how they're holding, you know, shit coin exchanges to a certain
- 10:17standard. Third.
- 10:18And then banks are just like you know it's interesting because
- 10:21with banks like there used to be a reserve requirement but during
- 10:24the Trump Administration they got rid of that reserve
- 10:27requirement old together so it's not even fractional Reserve
- 10:30banking anymore it's like more it's better said zero Reserve
- 10:34banking because that's like the world that we live in but of
- 10:37course the shit coin exchanges. They're held to a different
- 10:40standard banks are doing risky shit, you everyone remembers
- 10:432008, right? So I mean like the lesson, like
- 10:47the Mental lesson, if you get to like the the foundation is
- 10:51stopped. Trusting other people with your
- 10:52money. Other people are incentivized to
- 10:55risk your money if they're holding on to it.
- 10:57And it's and again like it's not like Banks or like, you know,
- 11:00twirling their mustaches and saying haha.
- 11:02Like this person, deposited into his account.
- 11:05Now I'm going to take his money, like the South Park meme like,
- 11:09you know, like the person likey like, deposits into the bank,
- 11:12and then it's like, now, it's gone, like, it's like Banks
- 11:15aren't doing that. Like, they think, They genuinely
- 11:18think that they're going to give you back a return like the shit
- 11:21coiners think that as well, right?
- 11:23But you know, it's when shit hits the fan right, where self
- 11:26custody really, really shines. But I think this is a this is a
- 11:30positive on a positive note we have never had I think since
- 11:352017, we have never had this amount of Bitcoin in self
- 11:40custody. The the amount of Bitcoin that's
- 11:43not being held on exchanges, continues to go lower and I I
- 11:47think that's the silver lining of the FTX blow up.
- 11:51I think that's the silver lining of Celsius.
- 11:53I think that's the silver lining of all these exchanges of the
- 11:56Gemini earn bullshit, right? Is that people are finally
- 12:00learning even though they have to get their metaphorical
- 12:02fingers burnt on the stove there, finally learning, not
- 12:05your keys, not your Bitcoin. Anyways.
- 12:09Anyways Opti, what are your thoughts on this bro?
- 12:12Yeah, I mean you kind of touched on it.
- 12:14It's very interesting the the strenuous Regulations for
- 12:19Bitcoin companies and it's a bit ridiculous because we know how
- 12:23traditional banks are run. They're all I think they get
- 12:25caught up. I like to watch.
- 12:27Obviously I like the Bitcoin industry gets caught up in the
- 12:30yeah that's are the crossfire of the shit coin industry so it's
- 12:34like they're like these politicians like yo this can't
- 12:36happen. The shit coin industry and then
- 12:37they just pull plump Bitcoin in there and they're just like yeah
- 12:40this supplies anyway. Sorry.
- 12:43Sorry to interrupt. Yeah that's how I was going to
- 12:45say, you know, why do we as big Corners have to jump through so
- 12:48many hoops and it's basically what you were saying.
- 12:51You know that shit Corners make us all look bad.
- 12:53And I've been saying this for a long time on the show that the
- 12:57ft x debacle will be used as low-hanging fruit for as long as
- 13:00humanly possible for as long as they can to drag the Bitcoin
- 13:04industry through the mud. So you know I guess when it's
- 13:08all said and done this Texas news I guess it does help the
- 13:12common denominator the average person that may not know exactly
- 13:16what's going on in the Bitcoin and Quinn space, but I don't
- 13:19know. It just it seems like, you know,
- 13:23rules for thee, but not for me type scenario.
- 13:25Like, it just seems like we have to go through so many different
- 13:29Hoops. That no normal bank has to go
- 13:31through just for us to get Bitcoin and it's, you know,
- 13:34something as a bit corner it's like it's a bit ridiculous but I
- 13:38understanding what they're trying to do, they're trying to
- 13:40help the, you know, the retail customer.
- 13:43But you know, no law or anything will actually stop Bitcoin
- 13:46adoption. So, I guess on the one hand as
- 13:49all the shit Corners are calling for it's like we need clear
- 13:52regulation so that we can try to offer people products but I
- 13:57don't know. A Bitcoin will just ride around
- 14:00but hey, bullish, shouts at the Texas.
- 14:02At least there is some clarity there and hopefully we'll be
- 14:07able to stack as many sets as possible.
- 14:09So shouts out to the people out there trying to do good.
- 14:12Whether they are fully aware of what they're doing or not.
- 14:15They're that least their intentions are good as Opposed.
- 14:18Yeah, I think that's a great way of putting it anyways.
- 14:20Jedi what's your take on this bro?
- 14:23It sounds to me like they're they're pretty confident and the
- 14:26collapse of the traditional banking system and to a lesser
- 14:29degree, the, you know, the the shape the shit coin D5 in
- 14:36ecosphere and they're trying to beat it down into a, into a
- 14:40manageable scenario and they're taking the sum of the first
- 14:45steps. I'm, I'm personally unbanked,
- 14:49but, and don't really Not really, for regulation and many,
- 14:55many ways but I'm, you know, I'm happy for Texas to try to
- 14:59strengthen their banking system because I definitely don't want
- 15:02to see a collapse soon because it won't be good for anyone,
- 15:07right? Even bitcoiners.
- 15:10Yeah, that's my taste. I could take does it could take,
- 15:12but at we wait. So you see you kind of buried
- 15:15the lead a little bit. You said your unbanked.
- 15:17So was that like, did that happen to you?
- 15:20Where you targeted like, Like is that like a know there is that
- 15:24something that you're choosing to do on your own like you just
- 15:28like you know F Banks I'm going to go full Bitcoin only going to
- 15:30live on a Bitcoin standard is that something even possible to
- 15:33do? Like how do you pay your bills
- 15:35and all that stuff? I get paid in Bitcoin and then I
- 15:42sell my Bitcoin to somebody that pays my rent for me.
- 15:45Okay. So interesting in taste.
- 15:48Yeah. Wow, dude.
- 15:49So you're you're, you're a hardcore Bitcoin about your
- 15:53Bitcoin standard 100% like the infrastructure is not even there
- 15:58you make it work. Anyways that's right.
- 16:01Cool. Have you heard of the Bitcoin
- 16:02company? By the way I heard, they're
- 16:04awesome. I think I have their their logo
- 16:10is the honey badger, right? Yep.

- 18:58is Daniel baton. And he said in the last 20, 72
- 19:02hours is a tweet for audio listeners.
- 19:04He said the last 72 hours has been a golden spell for Bitcoin.
- 19:07Mining Texas. Anti Bitcoin Bill.
- 19:10SB 1751 is dead. Joe Biden's proposed 30%
- 19:16Bitcoin. Mining tax is dead.
- 19:18We covered that on yesterday's up.
- 19:19Said and then tether renewable Mining and Uruguay is born.
- 19:24So, it's very, very interesting. Here is part of it.
- 19:28I guess it's a press release that came out and I love the
- 19:34wording in this. I just want to read it to you
- 19:35guys. So says, SB 751, would have been
- 19:39would have severely inhibited Bitcoin mining in the state.
- 19:43The Texas blockchain council Satoshi action fund and the
- 19:46Chamber of digital Commerce. Launch the quote Don't Mess with
- 19:50Texas and Innovation. Innovation campaign on April 10,
- 19:5320 23 in response to sb7 1751 and anti Bitcoin, mining bill,
- 19:59which was introduced in the Texas legislator.
- 20:02Thanks to the work of these organizations and more than
- 20:045,000, Grassroots, participants. SB 1751 was never brought for a
- 20:10committee vote in the house and failed to become law.
- 20:13If approved, SB 1751 would have raised Energy prices for Texans.
- 20:19Discriminated directly against the Bitcoin mining industry, and
- 20:22stead Texas will be able to maintain its leadership on The
- 20:25Cutting Edge, energy technology, quote, the defeat of the antique
- 20:29Bitcoin mining legislation in Texas, is a huge Victory, not
- 20:32only for Texas but the whole nation.
- 20:35This is a quote by Dennis Porter.
- 20:36It goes on to say this quote, this win ensures that energy
- 20:40Innovation will continue to grow in America and ensures.
- 20:42We lead the world on Bitcoin mining.
- 20:44Most importantly, the wind highlighted the power, the power
- 20:48of the Bitcoin community. She has when we unite to push
- 20:51back against Bad policy, it shows that our community and
- 20:55Industry can win when we work together and and we've referred
- 21:00to the Bitcoin Community. Many times on the show is this
- 21:02decentralized immune system. Everyone acting out of their own
- 21:06incentives, right there. You know, the obviously hold a
- 21:09bag of Bitcoin. They have Bitcoin into self
- 21:11custody and then they kind of chime in there.
- 21:13Like you know whether that's exposing shit Corners exposing
- 21:16scammers or you know, on the political front.
- 21:19I feel like is going to accelerate as you know, the
- 21:22separation of money and state continues and the state, you
- 21:26know, continues to get kind of Trapped into a corner.
- 21:29I think the political stuff is going to, it's going to it's
- 21:35going to become more predominant.
- 21:36Going to become more obvious, right?
- 21:38The attacks from the nation-state, the attacks from
- 21:40The Establishment, they're going to come to become more apparent.
- 21:44So shout out to near the, the Texas blockchain council.
- 21:48Shout out to Dennis's, Porter. Dennis Porter.
- 21:50Satoshi action fund, we had them on the other day and the Chamber
- 21:53of digital Commerce. Shout out to all these people.
- 21:55They fought back and for anyone who doesn't know who's not in
- 21:58the know since the CCP since the Chinese Communist party Band
- 22:02Bitcoin mining the vast majority, the a huge part of
- 22:08that hash rate migrated to the great state of Texas, right?
- 22:12So Texas is big on Bitcoin mining obviously you know their
- 22:16grid. Also kind of depends on it you
- 22:18can make that argument which is A crazy argument to say but yeah
- 22:22this is this is absolutely bullish, moving on, here's
- 22:25peers, take Pierre was very, very well.
- 22:27He was heavily involved especially when the New York
- 22:30Times came out with their hip piece which coincidentally by
- 22:33the way came out around the same time that Joe Biden said, hey we
- 22:39you know, we must tax Bitcoin miners 30% which coincidentally
- 22:43came a came out around the same time.
- 22:46That one of the actors from Harold and Kumar Came out with,
- 22:50you know, like a propaganda video piece on, you know, the
- 22:54quote unquote environmental effects on bitcoin.
- 22:57So clearly there's a propaganda war against this and pure
- 23:00Richard's video which he created for Riot, which he posted on the
- 23:05New York Times. You know, tweet promo of their
- 23:08article was so useful because you know it like he literally
- 23:11took a CO2 M, put it behind an Asic and said look Asics don't
- 23:15produce CO2 and that's a very important discussion.
- 23:19Is what the New York Times tried to do is they try to
- 23:22misrepresent and the real discussion?
- 23:24And I think the world that, you know, these bureaucrats and the
- 23:27people that are anti Bitcoin, the people that are the the the
- 23:30change the code people. They want to live in a world
- 23:34where they get to decide what energy use is not okay.
- 23:38And what energy uses okay, so video game.
- 23:40Okay toaster. Okay, washing machine OT.
- 23:43Okay, electric car, okay, AC maybe depends Bitcoin miner,
- 23:49definitely not. That's a dangerous toaster.
- 23:51We definitely don't want that type of energy use and that's
- 23:54absolutely Bonkers, right where we live in a world where a
- 23:56bureaucratic Elite, get to decide what energy uses.
- 24:00Okay, what energy uses not. Okay, that is a very, very
- 24:03slippery slope and mind you. So it starts with Bitcoin mining
- 24:07obviously because Bitcoin mining is the clear and present danger
- 24:10but how long until it becomes something like a gas stove, for
- 24:14example. And that isn't just me saying
- 24:17that. That's you know, that's that's
- 24:19there. That's our proposals, which is
- 24:20absolutely crazy. Anyways, Pierre, Richard goes on
- 24:23to say, this is his tweet. He says this has been a great
- 24:26week and the headlines are just the tip of the iceberg.
- 24:29Lots of great work being done by excellent teams of bitcoiners on
- 24:32the ground and behind the scenes Around the World Around the
- 24:35Clock, it's not always fun. But the mission, the mission.
- 24:39The, but the mission is the motive and This falls down to
- 24:42you all of you individuals, right?
- 24:44Doesn't matter if you have a big following, doesn't matter if
- 24:47you're an anion on Twitter every Like every tweet that you like
- 24:50every tweet that you retweet every response that you give
- 24:55back to when the European Central Bank says, Hey inflation
- 24:59is the workers fault, right? Every response that you do
- 25:03functions as a metaphorical bullet in this information war
- 25:06that we're fighting and the Battlegrounds of the internet.
- 25:08So, take agency take action, get involved.
- 25:12Remember when the New York Times, try to use the Twitter
- 25:15Community post and they tried to debunk Pierre's ready?
- 25:19Video that he made for Riot, we fought back we we went back.
- 25:24Use Twitter systems and said that note wasn't helpful and
- 25:28then the note got removed, right?
- 25:30So this is what we mean by narrative trench warfare, right?
- 25:33This is a battle not, it's not a kinetic War.
- 25:35It's a battle over winning over the hearts and minds of
- 25:38individuals and unfortunately for them, we have the truth on
- 25:42our side. Anyways, that's why they have to
- 25:43lie. That's why they have to
- 25:44misrepresent anyways. So and in other news Is on the
- 25:49other side of the world. So, or the southern part of the
- 25:52world tether invest in energy production, and sustainable
- 25:56Bitcoin. Mining, and Uruguay goes on to
- 25:58say, quote tether is investing in renewable energy sources to
- 26:01support and promote sustainable Bitcoin mining and essential
- 26:04component in upholding. The world's most robust and
- 26:06secure monetary Network to accomplish this ambitious
- 26:09objective tether is actively seeking to augment augment its
- 26:13team by recruiting experts in the energy sector by harnessing
- 26:17the power of Bitcoin and Uruguay is renewable.
- 26:19Energy capabilities tether is leading the way in sustainable
- 26:22and responsible Bitcoin. Mining Uruguay has emerged as a
- 26:25global leader in renewable energy, achieving a remarkable
- 26:2894% of electricity generation from renewable sources,
- 26:32predominantly wind and solar power blessed.
- 26:35With abundant natural resources Uruguay offers ideal conditions
- 26:38for the production of renewable energy facilitating the
- 26:41establishment of wind farms, solar parks and hydropower
- 26:44projects, guaranteeing a consistent supply of clean and
- 26:48environmentally. Mentally friendly friendly
- 26:50energy. And this is what we always say,
- 26:52right? Bitcoin doesn't just use energy,
- 26:54Bitcoin, uses excess energy, right?
- 26:57That's why you have the kingdom of Bhutan that has this excess
- 27:00hydroelectric capacity. And, you know, they kind of they
- 27:04throw their hat in the ring. They say hey you know what?
- 27:07We you know we can you know we have all this abundant
- 27:14electrical capacity and capability.
- 27:17What are we going to do with that, right?
- 27:19Or it would go to waste Bitcoin gives that otherwise wasted
- 27:23energy value and that's nothing. Else does that?
- 27:26No shit coin. Does that no government subsidy
- 27:29does that right? Only Bitcoin does this?
- 27:32And I think that trend is going to continue to accelerate and
- 27:36more people around the world are going to wake up to that reality
- 27:39right. Bitcoin gives value to otherwise
- 27:42wasted energy, which is extremely extremely bullish.
- 27:46So anyways, just a bullish day today bro.
- 27:48Usually we're fighting the Monetary demons.
- 27:50We're usually covering with the demons are doing and what
- 27:52they're fighting back. And but today's A Day of Victory
- 27:55today is a Day of Victory, right?
- 27:57So the anti Bitcoin, mining Bill defeated in Texas the pro
- 28:01Bitcoin mining bill passed. You know, the Joe Biden's
- 28:05proposed 30% tax, got struck down and you know renewable
- 28:10Bitcoin mining is being spun up in Uruguay and the hash rate
- 28:16continues to make all-time highs and of course, Tick Tock next.
- 28:19Blocks. Keep coming in.
- 28:21Opti we still we stay winning, bro.
- 28:23It sounds like we're staying winning, bro.
- 28:25Sounds almost like the Bitcoin incentives are just too strong
- 28:28to resist to avoid it but man it's I'm glad to see that Texas
- 28:35isn't LARPing on Liberty today, because it seemed like they were
- 28:38for a little bit because we know embracing Bitcoin is obviously
- 28:42something that all Freedom minded people will be doing and
- 28:45are doing so instead of fearing Bitcoin, it's Nice to see that.
- 28:50Texas is embracing them but of course I say it all the time and
- 28:53you know does just Boomers writing things down on paper
- 28:56really affect Bitcoin. I don't know.
- 28:59You guys are still running the node still taking Bitcoin into
- 29:02self custody so I don't know. That's probably another topic
- 29:05but we know there's abundant amount of energy in Texas and
- 29:09Bitcoin mining will help Texas, stay innovating and pushing
- 29:12Texas into the bright orange future.
- 29:14So you just love to see it. And Shout out the Pierre.
- 29:16He's by far one of my favorite bitcoiners.
- 29:18I Be here without Pierre's work either at Nakamoto Institute or
- 29:23his old podcast and no did Bitcoin podcast a true legend,
- 29:27fighting propaganda with memes. Absolutely, absolute Bitcoin
- 29:32Chad is is what I'll go with this, but love to see just
- 29:36Bitcoin mining continue to help the world and go to places with
- 29:39excess energy and just do what we know it can do and that is
- 29:44incentivize, you know, good energy, use around the world and
- 29:48bring everyone in. To that bright orange future.
- 29:50So it's again you know Bitcoin just stays winning, the Bitcoin
- 29:53incentives are too strong to avoid and this is this may be
- 29:57happening in slow process in real time.
- 30:00But if we really think about how fast everything is happening in
- 30:03the Bitcoin space, man. The hyper big, quantization
- 30:07might be here. Close might be closer than we
- 30:09think even though it's probably going to take a lot, a lot of
- 30:12time. Question.
- 30:16Yeah, I did, I did PT sessions. Is asking out the if you got a
- 30:20new haircut, no touching of the tips up.

- 33:32What are you talking about today, bro?
- 33:33Well, you guys know what I like to do?
- 33:35I like to feature? I guess so they can have a
- 33:37platform to speak about Bitcoin. So Jedi, I think I'm going to
- 33:41start with the classic Rabbit Hole story question.
- 33:45What originally attracted you to bitcoin and how has Bitcoin
- 33:48change your life? Well, I was originally attracted
- 33:54to Bitcoin in 2012 through Silk Road.
- 33:58I did. Yeah, I had I was, I had a
- 34:02vendor account there and I was introduced to it that way the
- 34:07white paper was posted at the bottom of the of the page.
- 34:12And that's where I first read it throwing really into the deep
- 34:17end because it was just pretty was part of the was part of the
- 34:22How the website functioned and, you know how?
- 34:25We we are flushing out the first real, true free and open
- 34:28Marketplace for Bitcoin too. To show the world what it could
- 34:34actually do. And speaking of the Silk Road,
- 34:37what do you think about what happened?
- 34:39What they did to Ross? All bridge, what's your personal
- 34:41opinion on that? Well, my personal opinion is
- 34:45that, I mean, they gave I mean, they gave the guy more time than
- 34:48they've ever given any other human being in history, and that
- 34:52should that should say at all. You know, that, that they were,
- 34:56they made an example out of him, that is at the level of, you
- 35:02know, of Something that's a concern.
- 35:06Should be considered an atrocity, right?
- 35:09Why do you think they wanted to make an example out of him?
- 35:13Because he was the first one to free to free Bitcoin into the
- 35:17marketplace and show its show what it could do before they
- 35:20were able to stop it. And I think in some way, they
- 35:24thought that they had enough, they had enough leverage to stop
- 35:27Bitcoin before that. And in the end of that, that he
- 35:31truly was able to free it to the world there and it And escape
- 35:37velocity way, right? So that it was no longer able to
- 35:42be stopped. I can't see any other real good
- 35:45reason unless they think that he has a whole cache of it and they
- 35:50he won't give it to them. Absolutely.
- 35:54Anyways Opti love it. I kind of want to jump in on
- 35:57what you talked about earlier. You said your unbanked, how is
- 36:01it living on the Bitcoin standard today?
- 36:07well it's it's for me it's you know, it's relatively It's
- 36:12relatively easy, you know, it's I don't know.
- 36:21It's just, it's been, it's been actually more frame because I
- 36:24don't, I don't have to worry about the banks, shutting off my
- 36:28accounts, or something like that.
- 36:31Charging me extra fees and things like that all the time.
- 36:36It just It just made I live in Northern California.
- 36:43I work in cannabis cannabis compliance and it's easier for
- 36:48me to work in a in a bartering type of system to begin with.
- 36:53I've been I'm, you know, I've been like we spoke of before.
- 36:59I'm a, I'm, an avid Grateful, Dead file and a fan and
- 37:03follower. And then, you know, I'm sure
- 37:07since the early 1980s and that whole Community is, is again a
- 37:15group of people that have their own Community within, you know,
- 37:19within a very small ecosystem and You know some of the the you
- 37:26know, the ideas of, you know, living free, you know, and have
- 37:31always been something that I've done even before Bitcoin.
- 37:35So what you're saying is that because of your local community
- 37:39that enables you to live on a Bitcoin standard, right?
- 37:41It's the community around you that enables that it's not
- 37:44necessary that there's infrastructure built Yeah.
- 37:49Yeah. I'm the, you know, whenever I
- 37:52need something I can, I can go to the, to the bitcoiners that
- 37:55I've, you know, that I know that I've made, but, you know that
- 37:58I've orange killed and I can, you know, if I, when I take
- 38:03Bitcoin for because I can just ask for them, you know, for
- 38:05payment Bitcoin and I sell it to other bitcoiners.
- 38:09Yeah. Love it.
- 38:10Yeah, I have gone kyc. Love it.
- 38:13Yeah, I'm on the Bitcoin standard as well.
- 38:16I used a Bitcoin company pretty much to survive.
- 38:19I have yet to figure out how to pay my landlord in Bitcoin
- 38:22because they don't know, they aren't orange pill.
- 38:24But anyways, let's go on to the next topic that I want to talk
- 38:27about Jedi, what is Triple eat memes and what do you guys do on
- 38:31Twitter AAA premiums were toxic Bitcoin Maxi you know group of
- 38:39meemers that started right? When Twitter spaces began, right
- 38:45in the first few months of it. we came together as a group of
- 38:51of just people that were flushing out the new space of of
- 38:56spaces, and we like to meet him and we decided a few of us
- 39:04decided to get together and meme together, right?
- 39:07And it grew into a group of over 50 people.
- 39:12And we all kind of, bounce ideas, off of one another and,
- 39:20and build memes together, and in some ways.
- 39:24And and when we see things in the space that we think are
- 39:29particularly suspect, we bring it to light so that the other
- 39:34bitcoiners can see and figure out what they think about it and
- 39:40we put a little spice on it there as you can see and we take
- 39:45on some topics that and some people in the Bitcoin space that
- 39:49are considered peers because we You know, sometimes it's hard to
- 39:57tell who's working in the space and who's not, who's, you know,
- 40:01who has corporate sponsorships and who's not, I mean,
- 40:07obviously, we understand where you guys are and your sponsored
- 40:10by Swan. We have had our issues with
- 40:13Swan. We don't really need to go into
- 40:16that here necessarily, but we just want everything to be, you
- 40:21know, better for the community. And if we can point out things
- 40:28in a way that That gets that done.
- 40:33That's that's an apparently. We've been doing that to some to
- 40:37some extent and we're happy to do it and it's fun for us,
- 40:42right? We don't have any corporate
- 40:44sponsorships and we just do it for the love of Bitcoin and for
- 40:50the, for the love of memeing We think it's we think it's a
- 40:55superior form of communication. I do personally.
- 41:02And so does some of our friends like you know, the meme Factory
- 41:06who inspired us initially to to began to begin this group of
- 41:11members, yellow and Greg's. Ah, shot out to both the boys.
- 41:19And yeah, that's the that's the origin story there, love it.
- 41:23Okay, I did see on the Twitter timeline, we got tagged in this.
- 41:28Me, my wish I could play it, but there's some background music,
- 41:30and it might mess with the copyrights of YouTube, but we
- 41:33went back and forth in the in the DM's and you guys have been
- 41:37very critical about El Salvador. We talked about this in the DM.
- 41:40So do you want to talk about that right now?
- 41:43Why are you guys so critical in regards to El Salvador in the
- 41:46Bitcoin, adoption and buccola in.
- 41:48General. Well, you know I was I was there
- 41:55when bouquet Lee and his brother, his brother came into
- 41:59spaces and moved and took us into the chambers with him when
- 42:03he introduced the bill. And we most of us in the space,
- 42:08didn't know if it was real or not.
- 42:11It's very interesting time. It was really kind of some of
- 42:15the first times. I really heard about El
- 42:17Salvador, in general. And it grew into this.
- 42:27This growing support for El Salvador in general.
- 42:33And I was asked to do with with a couple of other bitcoiners
- 42:39that do like a Bitcoin, they did the Bitcoin day and it was like
- 42:42a 24-hour. Tribute for Bitcoin, in El
- 42:48Salvador and Lucas one of the one of my, one of the Twitter,
- 42:54Twitter friends has was organizing that and he still
- 42:57does it and he introduces like new countries to to bitcoin
- 43:03Twitter and Bitcoin spaces. Well, I had some reservations
- 43:12about, you know, about supporting like I'm a non I'm
- 43:15in, I'm not a man on statist, I don't support politicians and
- 43:20pretty much anyway. So I had some reservations about
- 43:25actually doing the show because I'm, you know, my, you know, in
- 43:30toxic memer and I didn't really want to be involved in anything
- 43:33like that necessarily, but end up talking to Newt. and I asked
- 43:38his opinion on what he thought and he said, you know what, you
- 43:43should just keep your your your your mind on is that this is
- 43:49celebrating. What Bitcoin did in El Salvador,
- 43:52right? Not the other way around.
- 43:57And not to be supporting like the politicians of that country.
- 44:01And so I took that initial stance and I just, you know, as
- 44:06I do here essentially and then we started seeing, you know this
- 44:13the you know the what's been happening in El Salvador as far
- 44:18as suspension of Human Rights and mass incarceration and an
- 44:23attempt to Quote unquote, take backcountry.
- 44:31What do you use of stay in military force to do so against
- 44:36the population? and I think that human rights
- 44:40violations have been happening and Mass And I think that some
- 44:44of the larger bitcoiners like Max Keiser has been celebrating
- 44:48these events and basically packaging commercials for the
- 44:52space and for for El Salvadoran General.
- 44:58And literally his entire timeline has been dedicated to
- 45:02bouquet way in my opinion, he's cemented himself as a court are
- 45:08amongst the amongst the royalty of El Salvador.
- 45:13And that doesn't take anything away from what he's done in the
- 45:18past and literally the man orange killed me.
- 45:21So okay, so hold on a second. So what is it Court Terror?
- 45:24What could you define? What that is?
- 45:27Somebody that has the ear of the king in general?
- 45:29That were the president of the United of the United States is
- 45:34Like the Sir Francis Reilly of our day.
- 45:36So bitcoiners, right, we don't have a nation-state.
- 45:41We didn't have an Asian saying until El Salvador, meaning we
- 45:44then have a jurisdiction that or a state really that has a
- 45:51monopoly on violence and certain geographical area until
- 45:54Salvador. So opting I joke about this all
- 45:58the time but we're half joking, right?
- 46:00It look we're going to hold the line in the US but if they make
- 46:02Bitcoin a legal and obviously we operate a Bitcoin company,
- 46:07right? Where else is there to go?
- 46:10So you know, you could say what you want about Max, and you
- 46:13could say what you want about name, bouquet and that he's a
- 46:16dictator and, you know, and that he has a dictator Tendencies
- 46:21and, you know, there's a lot of that but we're closed, you know,
- 46:26we have a house, the u.s. any different?
- 46:29How is any other country? Do you like?
- 46:32So, like I come from Latin America, right?
- 46:34Like, you're, you're judging a Central American country that
- 46:39has been Flags with war and Corruption for decades, and
- 46:43you're holding them to the same, to the same, to the same, you
- 46:50know, standards that you would hold a western country.
- 46:53You know, that whole area of the world is just plagued with
- 46:57corruption, right? So like, so like, why is it that
- 47:02you guys are focusing on El Salvador?
- 47:05Like, for example, like, what about Venezuela like?
- 47:07You know, country completely? Ali destroyed by its government
- 47:11went from one of the wealthiest in the world.
- 47:13To one of the poorest, what about the corrupt government of
- 47:17Venezuela? What is it about El Salvador?
- 47:20That has you so focused on? I would say, nine bouquet lady
- 47:23who just recently brought on say feeding ammos as a presidential
- 47:29economic advisor, meaning it's the first nation state that's
- 47:32going to push forward. Josh eunuch an Austrian
- 47:37economists right? Not a fish Odd Economist or a
- 47:40Keynesian Economist. I would say that is actually
- 47:45helping us, it's not hurting us. Like what do you say that it's
- 47:49better attacking Central Bankers or attacking governments that
- 47:52are pro Fiat versus attacking governments that are pro
- 47:56Bitcoin? Yeah, I believe, I believe it
- 48:02probably is, you know, I just think that I still have the
- 48:05problems of the human, right violations.
- 48:07You know that's that about the human rights violations in
- 48:10Venezuela. What about the human rights
- 48:12violations? United States, what about the
- 48:14human rights violations? All over Central America?
- 48:16Why is it specifically El Salvador just because we're
- 48:20focused on that? I mean, the entire Twitter feed
- 48:25is filled with it. And that's probably why.
- 48:30I mean when the focus shifts to something else and you know
- 48:34hopefully you know they you know something, you know, some things
- 48:38start to change in a in a way that that makes it makes it feel
- 48:42a little more like some freedoms have been restored with in El
- 48:45Salvador, not like an overwhelming sense of the, you
- 48:50know, of force, creating the semblance of of you know, of
- 48:55people feeling like they're free.
- 48:57What about the human? Rights abuses by the gangs that
- 49:00controlled the country before nine.
- 49:02Boo, Kelly. Yeah, I know, they had, they had
- 49:07serious issues with extortion, within the country, and I think
- 49:10like, they're, you know, I don't think there was any real good
- 49:13answer to it, but I still think that they're the way that
- 49:18they're, they're treating the prisoners within the country as
- 49:21excessive. You mean the gang members.
- 49:23That murdered people. It doesn't matter.
- 49:26Yes yes even them. What about the human rights
- 49:31abuses? By the US government?
- 49:33What about the human rights abuses, that happened in all
- 49:36part and like all part of the world?
- 49:39Like and I did, you know, I've been, I've had that I've had the
- 49:41same issues I've done. I've done time in prison myself.
- 49:45Hmm. No, and it's for things that are
- 49:48legal today. So in your eyes, right?
- 49:52Just to be clear Jedi, right? So the country lowered their
- 49:56murder rate from being one of the highest in the world to
- 49:59being one of the lowest in the region and you still think
- 50:02that's a net negative. I don't think it's a, I don't
- 50:11think it's in that negative. But I don't I still think that
- 50:16you know this is it got it's gone too far there.
- 50:20It's gone too far. What has the cracking like you
- 50:23are too quickly? Yes, the Crackdown even though
- 50:28there's potentially saving innocent people's lives.
- 50:34Well you think you you think that this is like this is
- 50:38stopped something that has been tribal in a region for a hundred
- 50:43years. I mean this does not change in
- 50:46this in the hills of the surrounding areas.
- 50:50It doesn't change a thing. you know, just because they've swept
- 50:54the streets and the major areas in the downtown areas of El
- 50:58Salvador doesn't mean that the rest of the surrounding areas,
- 51:01it does, it's still not just as bad, they did the same thing in
- 51:05Jamaica back in the 1980s and you guys might be too young to
- 51:08remember it but they had a whole Push 2.
- 51:15Try and make your makeup place that was, you know, shown to be
- 51:19safe. So you, so you have a right, you
- 51:24have an issue with how, you know, these criminals are being
- 51:28treated in El Salvador. What would you say to the fact
- 51:31that nine buchelli has a 85 to 90 percent approval rating in
- 51:36the country? That's much higher by the way
- 51:38than, you know, Joe Biden here in the US.
- 51:45Yeah, well looks like the the people have spoken.
- 51:47I just, you know, that's my thing is is that I, you know, I
- 51:52wouldn't go there and give up my rights and that's, you know,
- 51:57they're their citizens of the country there if they want to do
- 52:01that, they're more than welcome to.
- 52:04Yeah. So what would you say about the
- 52:07your rights being chipped away here in the US?
- 52:14well, I think that you know, that is that just leads to
- 52:18Revolution in some way. So, it's hope it's the piece of
- 52:24one through Bitcoin because I can't see any other way.
- 52:27This is not going to affect everything in general.
- 52:30So making one little area in El Salvador, say quote, unquote,
- 52:34safe and having you know, pakusa stands and you know and in the
- 52:40end, the end of, you know, in the conversation.
- 52:46You know it just feels like a commercial, right?
- 52:50And I just want people to You know, really think about this
- 52:54son more than one level, you know.
- 52:58I think, you know, I don't want to see people get hurt ever and
- 53:05I'm not, you know, I'm not like Pro prisoner, something like
- 53:10that. I, you know, I think that there
- 53:14is a place for that, you know, and I realize how violent MS-13
- 53:19is and some of the other gangs And a borderline being liked.
- 53:27You know, terrorists. So it's like you know what do
- 53:31you do in those scenarios? It's really hard to say, it's
- 53:34just really difficult to see someone like Max Keiser almost
- 53:39cheerleading the event, you know.
- 53:41And it's like Lay off that aspect of it because it still
- 53:46involves humans at the end of it that are being that are
- 53:50suffering on all sides of it. So yeah, but the but these
- 53:54humans that you're speaking about, right?
- 53:56Not all of them, but a big majority of them were causing
- 54:00harm to other human beings. Yeah, but there's the people who
- 54:05are laughter the mothers and the fathers of those.
- 54:07Those men they're locked up in prison because their products in
- 54:10their of the environment of being so poor that they had no
- 54:13other choice and that's politically driven by has
- 54:17nothing to do with them. They're just tribal Warriors out
- 54:20there trying to make it. You know what?
- 54:24I'm fortunately they made them into monsters in order to do
- 54:27what they did, right? Which is terrifying.
- 54:32So now they have to dismantle what it is.
- 54:34They did themselves Nico, you know, and it's in these men have
- 54:38to suffer for it and if that's the case and the people want it,
- 54:43then that's what they're, that's what they're asking for.
- 54:45So you're saying that the actions, the individual actions
- 54:50of these gang members are not their fault, it was pushed on by
- 54:54someone else, on to them. Is that what is that?
- 54:56What is that what you're saying? Collectively.
- 55:00Yes. Nico.
- 55:04Okay, I love this conversation. I love that.
- 55:07We are having a differing opinions on simply become, but
- 55:09there is one last thing I'd like to touch on a lighten.
- 55:11The mood a little bit. Jedi, one of the things that I
- 55:15do love about triple Elite memes is the sign, the waiver movement
- 55:20and the Bitcoin Fight Club. The first one.
- 55:24Can we talk about this real quick before we get back into
- 55:27the memes? Absolutely man.
- 55:31Okay, so trip. So triple eat memes.
- 55:33We started the Bitcoin Fight Club two years ago at the in
- 55:38Miami and it was in response to a few people that, you know,
- 55:46we've we, you know, battle with back and forth and Twitter
- 55:51spaces. Bitcoin, Bitcoin fuck-boy and
- 55:59mesh, and a few others fought for the first time and, you
- 56:03know, some of the guy, one of the guys from Bitcoin, you know,
- 56:05magazine and one of our guys from from Tripoli memes and we
- 56:11had we held three fights at a, at a venue that hosted us.
- 56:18And what it was is kind of response of people, you know,
- 56:20talking smack to one another. And just being like, You know,
- 56:25it's kind of like a fight. It's a Fight Club, right?
- 56:28So we kind of decided to form that and people showed up so and
- 56:35it looks like you were there at the first one.
- 56:38And yeah, so he moved it at. There's one in going to be
- 56:47coming up in Nashville and so we had the hashtag sign the
- 56:52waivers. A lot of people have probably
- 56:53seen and a lot of a lot of people including, you know, one
- 56:58of our, one of our fallen friends and Bitcoin spaces with
- 57:03at State at stay ski 12 and stay scheme, you know, those shoes.

- 57:29waiver and We have a waiver set up at that at that at B Fight
- 57:36Club at Fight Club so that we can match five people that want
- 57:40to fight each other up. This is legal by the way, right?

- 58:19and you know, people face the consequences of talking shit on

- 1:04:01got a female Pepe and a Bitcoin or Pepe eating some pizza and
- 1:04:05the female goes he's probably thinking about other women and
- 1:04:08the Bitcoin ER just goes there were only be 21 million
- 1:04:11Bitcoins. This is all we ever think about
- 1:04:13how can I get more SATs? Because it's only ever going to
- 1:04:16be 21 million. Okay?
- 1:04:17This next one is by my boy at flaky boy, Rak a flat.
- 1:04:21Go on Twitter and again, I don't know where this mean comes from,

- 1:04:49bar or a cabin on a farm. And it goes, I haven't met my
- 1:04:52soul mate yet, but I like to think that's just because
- 1:04:55they're busy doing something really important.
- 1:04:58And the really important thing is a Pepe the frog with Asic
- 1:05:01plugged in. He's reading the Bitcoin
- 1:05:03standard, he has his cold card and he's listening to Michael
- 1:05:07sailor. Say what's the second person?

- 1:05:47Yeah, absolutely devastated because I have to give you guys
- 1:05:50some some charts here, everyone. So I gotta I gotta feed the
- 1:05:53Hopi. I'm in here for you guys every
- 1:05:54once in a while. So she sets out to the Bitcoin
- 1:05:55therapist aka the BTC therapist on Twitter and goes green
- 1:05:59candles are coming. And if you guys haven't seen
- 1:06:02this chart, this is probably one of my favorite charts ever.
- 1:06:04It is the Bitcoin price in Yearly candles.
- 1:06:07And as you can see, there is a very real pattern here and I
- 1:06:10know history doesn't repeat, but it Rhymes and so, hey, I know, I
- 1:06:15like to stay stupidly bullish here guys, and I think
- 1:06:18hopefully, this is going to happen again, but we don't know
- 1:06:21what the future holds. I'm not going to speculate here
- 1:06:23because Nika yelled at me yesterday.
- 1:06:25But anyway, just look at the can't that the pattern, 3 green,
- 1:06:28candles one red, candle, three green candles, one red, candle,
- 1:06:32three green candles, one red candle and 2023. is the first
