0:19
Yo, welcome to Simply Bitcoin live here.
0:20
Your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution
0:24
recover, the breaking news culture.
0:25
Me, Matic Warfare, we will show you why only Bitcoin can give
0:28
you true Financial sovereignty. Today, we have a very special
0:32
show some crazy breaking news. But first, I would like to
0:35
introduce my guest. How you doing, Bobby?
0:38
Hey, good the day, what's up? Happy to have you on simply
0:43
Bitcoin, Bobby works for voltage.
0:45
Is that correct? That's right, awesome.
0:47
We had one of your Workers. Like, last week, we had a great
0:51
time with in. We had to have you back because
0:53
Opti wanted to cover some stuff in relation to lightning Fudd.
0:58
So what are you going to cover today, Opti?
1:00
Well, good morning Nico, what's up, Bobby, I'm excited for
1:04
today's episode. You know me, I'm a huge fan on
1:06
Nico, Jones, Ranch. And I know we're going to get
1:09
primed with some awesome Nica Jones rent this morning.
1:12
But yes, I was hitting Eco album.
1:14
Like, yeah, I'm trying to get some lightning people in here
1:16
because I know you guys are seeing it on Twitter lightning.
1:18
Is a failed project. Oh my god, let's pack it up,
1:21
boys. No, obviously it's fun but I'm
1:24
glad. I'm glad we got Bobby in here
1:26
and we'll you know hopefully shed some light on you guys that
1:31
you know lightning I've not felt project alive and well it's
1:37
alive and well and of course on the news guys we are going to
1:40
cover in the the breaking news this morning about the Biden,
1:45
White House of report from the Biden White House.
1:48
I'm getting come Collecting reports, some comment that I got
1:54
from David, from the policy institutes.
1:56
And of course, you know, the news that says in the report
1:59
about them, it was basically advocating to potentially ban
2:03
proof of work, we're going to cover that.
2:05
We also got some comments in the morning.
2:07
Basically saying, are you guys crazy?
2:10
Republicans, you guys are, you guys are falling for the bait,
2:13
okay? Look this is how it works,
2:16
right? When the Democrats are in power.
2:17
And I said this a couple Polly like a week ago and the
2:20
Democrats are in power. They blame the Republicans when
2:22
the Republicans are in power. They are sorry.
2:24
The Republicans are in power. The Democrats blame them for all
2:27
the mishaps of the country. When the Democrats are in power,
2:30
the Republicans do the same thing.
2:32
All the while the money is completely stealing from you the
2:36
entire time. So don't get distracted on.
2:40
Who, you think the enemy? The reality is that Central
2:42
Banking Fiat money? Inflation is stealing from
2:45
everyone. It's stealing time from them.
2:48
Don't get distracted by the boogeyman.
2:51
Okay, because it's not the other side's fault.
2:54
It's the fact that the money is broken, okay?
2:56
That being said, let's start the show Another time brought to you
3:03
by not all they make some of the best Bitcoin nodes run your own
3:06
version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network whirlpool
3:10
and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
3:12
Remember guys, if you don't run your own Bitcoin node, you're
3:15
trusting someone else's and if you're a digital Nomad you have
3:19
no excuse because now you could run a novel through a virtual
3:22
private server. Visit noddle dot-eu today at the
3:26
time of recording, the Bitcoin price is 19154 That's per
3:30
dollar. 5221 block height, 750 3178, reachable Bitcoin notes.
3:38
Fourteen thousand and four blocks of having 80 6822 total
3:43
lightning network capacity. 4700 Bitcoin capacity value around 90
3:48
million u.s. dollars monetary realized monetary inflation,
3:52
taking the dollar absolutely to school 1.78 percent market
3:56
capitalization 366. A billion dollars but Bitcoin is
4:02
still a baby. Anyways, I wanted to go through
4:04
some stats, some lightning stats.
4:06
I also wanted to get Bobby's input on this because one thing
4:10
is seeing lightning stats, we all see them being posted, we
4:14
see that, you know, the screenshots on Twitter but Bobby
4:17
is actually a part of building a company on Lightning, right
4:22
there. Your whole thing is lightning
4:24
services, so that Parabola you guys must have felt right there.
4:30
Good things happening and of course opt he's going to cover
4:32
this in the culture. I'm going to hit it from a
4:34
different angle Bobby we're going to go back to 2018.
4:38
When lightning network was basically non-existent how have
4:43
things changed in the last four years?
4:46
Here's a representation for everyone that doesn't see,
4:48
right. This thing is literally going
4:51
parabolic. It's going to the Moon mind you.
4:54
It's still going to the Moon even after the bear Market hit
4:59
us right seven Bitcoin. And 70% down, sixty to seventy
5:01
percent down from all time high. And this thing is still going
5:05
parabolic. So Bobby, you want to chime in
5:08
on that? Yeah.
5:10
So, and 17 like in seventeen eighteen, nineteen time, I
5:14
wasn't really paying attention to lightning.
5:16
I was very early, I got in and 17.
5:19
So I was like, kind of on the casino side of things like, you
5:22
know, buying shit coins and then got into Bitcoin fully and like
5:25
mid-eighteen. But the thing that's really
5:28
interesting is like when we see go Kids at the price really
5:31
doesn't matter at this point. Like it does matter to a certain
5:34
extent, but what's more important is people having just
5:37
the freedom and autonomy to have money that can't be confiscated
5:39
and taken from them. And what I really love about
5:41
lightning is it gives people that ability to send and receive
5:44
instantly and just to have that freedom.
5:46
So I think we're going to continue to see that happen, but
5:49
one of the more fascinating things is happening.
5:51
Right now, on the conversations were having a voltage with just
5:55
like potential clients and leads.
5:56
And people interested in lightning is there's a lot of
5:59
folks that have nothing to To do with Bitcoin that want to
6:01
integrate Bitcoin and align it vertically integrated within
6:04
their business. So I think there's a lot of
6:07
noise out there. Like we're going to be covering
6:08
today but people are wanting to integrate Bitcoin there, wanting
6:12
to leverage the lightning Network, they want to pay zero
6:14
fees and they want to, you know, bring it in as a part of their
6:18
business and some of these guys have a four year time frame.
6:21
They're not really focused on the short term.
6:22
They're trying to get a head start now because they see this
6:24
as the future. Absolutely.
6:27
And I think that look and we don't even have to take your
6:29
word for it. It right.
6:30
Don't trust verify. I think that speaks for itself,
6:34
right? That is literally going
6:36
parabolic. Now, what would you say?
6:38
No, because I opted, he's going to cover this.
6:41
So let me ask you something else.
6:43
What did you think about the raw Stevens announcement in Wolf's
6:48
clothing about how NY dig, which is responsible for the whole
6:52
Bitcoin? For institutions that, you know,
6:55
that Michael sailor was pushing? What did you think about his
6:58
announcement about About, you know, funding potentially
7:01
funding and supporting lightning startups in New York City.
7:06
Yeah. Yeah, I was sitting in the room
7:07
there and Austin when he announced it and I got the
7:10
chills a little bit, it was cool to see.
7:12
I'm all for it. I love free and open markets, I
7:15
welcome it. I welcome anyone to take part in
7:17
lightning I know some folks are kind of iffy about having to
7:21
move to New York and this that and the other but all in all I
7:24
think it's a good thing. I want to see more people, poor
7:27
energy and create awareness about lightning.
7:28
That's just my stance though. Absolutely, I think what we
7:32
always advocate for on this show, monopolies are bad, free
7:37
markets are good. Competition breeds greatness
7:41
when two companies compete for your business, you win, right?
7:44
So Opti what are your thoughts on this brother?
7:48
Well you know it sounds like lightning is dead out there but
7:53
no II mean I just kind of want to pull on a thread from the
7:57
last time we had the voltage guys on here with It was on
8:00
here, and he kind of, he kind of dropped some sauce on us.
8:03
And I don't know, I don't know. There's no, like, official press
8:06
release here, but he mentioned that a bunch of, you know, Big
8:10
Time corporations are trying to get into Bitcoin or lightning in
8:12
the back end. So I don't know if you can touch
8:15
on that or if it's still officially sealed back there and
8:18
you can't drop any hints but rumor has it that, you know, big
8:22
corporations are trying to get into lightning for payment so
8:25
you kind of touched on it a little bit in the beginning but
8:28
let's let's you know, drop some Sauce on the people, if you can.
8:32
Yeah, so little sauce. Here we go, it's going to be,
8:36
it's going to be very interesting.
8:38
What happens the next few years? Like obviously we can't like say
8:40
names and stuff but there's a lot of interest and people want
8:44
to be ahead of the curve. The big problem I think right
8:46
now is a lot of companies they don't understand necessarily
8:50
like node management. That's a big thing.
8:51
We've been solving for our guy, Nate who's on the show before
8:54
he's killing it, helping institutions and companies in
8:57
general that want to have a node and start taking In the network,
9:01
he's helping them manage it and getting off the ground, whether
9:03
it be fully managing it, which they obviously trust him to do,
9:06
and he's doing a great job or Consulting them and they're
9:09
actually taken steps to do it. Now, beyond that, what's also
9:13
interesting is, a lot of people are leaving Industries.
9:15
They've been Professionals in for 15 to 20 years and they're
9:18
trying to re innovate their industry, but do it based on
9:21
Lightning. So there's a lot of that
9:23
happening. We've seen it with vita, allow
9:25
Pratt, you guys probably know him and he took a lot of
9:27
communications experts he's worked with over the last decade
9:30
and Brought them into Vita and coming from a prior industry.
9:33
And having those connections that gives a lot of advantages
9:36
where typically there's a lot of barriers to entry, let's say to
9:39
enter the communication field or enter these other Industries,
9:42
but by leaving an industry and starting it on your own and
9:45
integrating Bitcoin, you've actually got some, some
9:48
shortcuts I would say. So it's kind of it's going to
9:51
get really spicy but I think that's the sauce we have for
9:53
today. Lightning Show dead lighting.
9:56
So that so I'm going to ask you this you know, without getting
9:58
into the the the Tails but will we see Fortune 500 companies in
10:04
the next 5 years? At lightning payments?
10:09
I think so. We saw cash out this week.
10:11
I think starting to receive, I know they've been able to send
10:13
right, but now they can receive. And it's also interesting like
10:17
microstrategy, they're working on getting more folks using
10:20
lightning. I'm kind of just waiting to hear
10:23
what sailor really shares on that front, but I think other
10:26
payment companies, like these, what are they called?
10:29
Like Neo Banks, like these Banks you just run from your phone
10:31
like chime, for instance. And some of these others, I
10:34
think they will be quick to integrate.
10:35
It, we're seeing a lot of exchanges in wallets, really Up
10:39
to integrating lightning and I think the natural next best step
10:42
are these Neo Banks and these mobile-based Banks.
10:45
Awesome. Yeah dude I'm so excited.
10:48
Hopefully that puts some of the thud to rest but we know and we
10:52
know it doesn't go away. Anyways Opti let's go to the
10:54
news. Daily News brought to you by
10:59
crypto. Cloaks.com, they make some of
11:01
the best 3D printed Bitcoin merch.
11:04

they make it in gold and you can take advantage of the promo code
11:21

11:26
All right, I'm going to address this because this is the first
11:29
comment that we got when we started the video.
11:33
Guys, you're being distracted. Okay, Mary Williams says, that's
11:38
a lie. Are you Maga Republicans?
11:40
Biden is doing a great job. Compared to Trump, you're being
11:43
distracted about what's going on?
11:45
Okay? Look, here's the reality.
11:47
Okay? Hillary Clinton the world
11:50
economic Forum Donald Trump. Two Chinese Communist party.
11:58
They all hate Bitcoin. Why is that freedom?
12:01
It empowers the individual over the state, right?
12:05
The state has a monopoly on the creation of money and that gives
12:09
them tremendous amount of power, right?
12:12
And now as an individual, you have the technology.
12:16
This technology has enabled you to opt out of that and say, hey,
12:20
I don't want to participate. So whether it's a democratic
12:25
Castration, a republican Administration.
12:27
They both stand to lose the administrative states.
12:30
That is funded by that Monopoly on the creation of money.
12:34
Stands a whole lot to lose, so it will it will fight back in
12:39
the last month. Basically, we had Michael sailor
12:42
and microstrategy sued in Washington.
12:44
D.c. you had the US Treasury for the first time in its history,
12:50
sanctioning an open source software.
12:52
Coincidentally also in the last month you had add Russia and
12:56
Iran announced that they're going to use Bitcoin to
13:00
facilitate International Trade. We are living through the
13:03
separation of money and state don't get stuck to the political
13:09
parties of old, what we call the Fiat parties.
13:12
There are distraction, this is about the individual.
13:16
This is what it's always been about whether the individual
13:20
leans left ideologically or the individual leans, right
13:23
ideologically, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
13:25
But either ways, it takes power away from the status and the
13:29
state is, are going to fight back because they have a
13:32
tremendous amount of lose. Not only in money, but most
13:35
importantly, what people are really addicted to power.
13:39
Anyways, that being said, let's take out this White House report
13:43
that came out this morning climate and energy implications
13:47
of crypto Assets in the United States.
13:51
What the fuck anyways moving on. Part of that, part of that part
13:58
of that report. Here's what Bitcoin magazine
14:00
said, White House says US Congress, may consider
14:02
legislation to ban proof-of-work mining reading from the
14:05
paragraph says, should these measures proved ineffective at
14:09
reducing impacts? The administration should
14:11
explore executive actions? Remember it was an executive
14:15
action that made gold illegals a, 6-10 to order and chronic,
14:19
Congress might consider legislation to limit or
14:22
eliminate the use of high energy.
14:25
Intensity consensus mechanisms for crypto asset mining.
14:31
This is what I what I was saying earlier.
14:33
This is all in the last two months.
14:35
This is not a coincidence. This is the separation of money
14:38
and state. Ladies and gentlemen, here is
14:40
Odell with the little bit of a fact check right energy Fudd
14:43
Bitcoin, mining energy, use versus total energy use, right?
14:47
So here is 154,000. Terawatt hours is a total
14:51
energy, total energy generated worldwide energy lost Due to in
14:55
efficiencies around 50,000 terawatt-hours 247
15:00
terawatt-hours are contributed to Bitcoin mining.
15:04
So out of 150, 4247. How Bitcoin mining and out of
15:14
that 247. It's estimated according to
15:19
Michael Sailors, Bitcoin mining Council research around 50 to 60
15:25
percent of that is renewable energy, which by the way, is
15:29
much better than the banking industry.
15:31
So this is the argument that we've been trying to make you
15:35
guys for months that this is the argument, right?
15:38
And the smoking, One example is the case in Norway, Norway
15:44
around 98% of their energy production comes from renewable
15:49
energy sources. 100% of Bitcoin mining in Norway comes from
15:56
renewable energy sources but the green party in Norway.
16:01
Still wanted to ban it. Why why we would like to make
16:06
you the case that Bitcoin mining proof of work is what makes
16:11
Bitcoin uncorruptible the alternative?
16:14
Which by the way, the cleaning up cryptocurrency, count panel
16:19
that they did in Congress, that was livestream to YouTube.
16:22
They were talking crap about Bitcoin proof of work but you
16:25
know what? They were advocating for proof
16:27
of stake. Why is that?
16:28
Why is it that the world economic Forum supports proof of
16:32
stake? Why is it that Mints support
16:35
proof of stake because they can co-opt it because nothing
16:39
changes. That's what this is about.
16:42
This is not about the climate. It never has been.
16:45
This is about power and control. That's what it's always been
16:49
about. And what we always say, Bitcoin
16:54
exposes incentives. That's what it does.
16:58
So over time, this will become abundantly clear that it was
17:01
never about the climate and one last thing, okay?
17:04
Because the same people that advocated for this climate
17:07
policy guy is getting Europe Into the Dark Ages Europe is
17:12
going into the Dark Ages, their energy costs are rising times 10
17:17
because of bad energy policy. Yeah, you could say that it was
17:23
you know, the Russian invasion to Ukraine, but it was the
17:25
politicians that decided to play sanctions on them.
17:28
And there's this very famous video which we've played for you
17:31
on the show of Donald Trump, warning them and they laughed at
17:35
him. So don't get distracted because
17:41
that's what this is about. Now here's the thing, right?
17:44
The state attack on Bitcoin mining.
17:47
It was always going to be inevitable, right?
17:48
We saw the Chinese Communist Party doing it.
17:51
Of course, in a western democracy.
17:52
They kind of have to, they can't just openly say, we want to ban
17:55
Bitcoin mining because you guys are using an alternative form of
17:59
money that we can't censor debase.
18:01
They can't be open about it. So they're using the climate as
18:03
an attack mechanism to go after it.
18:05
But remember what Bitcoin, You and this is the reason that it
18:08
won't work right? When they ban Bitcoin mining in
18:12
China. You guys have to remember what
18:14
happened right? Within a period of let's say
18:19
about a year. All those miners just flocked to
18:23
more friendlier jurisdictions because that's what Bitcoin
18:25
gives you Bitcoin. Gives you the power to not only
18:28
vote with your wallet but more and more importantly, it gives
18:32
you the power to vote with your feet.
18:35
That's the strength of Bitcoin, right?
18:37
Whether it's miners picking up and going to be a cheaper form
18:41
of energy a more friendlier jurisdiction, right?
18:44
Whether it's the individual fleeing from totalitarianism,
18:47
he's memorizing 12 words, that's the beauty of Bitcoin and I
18:50
think, Max Keiser said this perfectly and he retweeted
18:54
something by Marty bent and it go.
18:56
And he says, vote with your feet.
18:58
Moved to El Salvador. El Salvador has Bitcoin country.
19:00
Marty bent says bitcoiners need to stop trying to win the minds
19:04
of the politicians at the federal level and focus on.
19:07
Winning the minds of the people who are being subjected by the
19:10
federal government, I think. Marty bent is hitting the nail
19:14
on the head there. Guys, don't lose focus.
19:18
Don't get distracted by the political games.
19:22
It's not the Democrats, not the Republicans, it's the money.
19:25
It's broken. It's stealing from everybody and
19:27
it's causing a lot of conflict, people know, on a deeper level
19:32
that. Hey, Why can't I afford things?
19:35
Why can't I pay for things? They're feeling the wealth
19:37
inequality, both political ideologies have different
19:41
solutions to it, but it's not fixing the root issue, the root
19:46
issues that every time the government print, it's a wealth
19:49
redistribution from the lower middle classes that don't have.
19:52
The means to save in assets that benefit from asset inflation and
19:56
to wealth redistribution to the upper class and the government.
20:00
That's how it is. That's how it works.
20:02
So don't get distracted. It is not Democrats, not the
20:05
Republicans, it's fucking Fiat money and that's what needs to
20:09
end. That's what needs to change, and
20:11
they're using the climate in order to go after it.
20:16
It's plain as day right? It too many coincidences,
20:21
proof-of-work, bad proof of stake, good, why would you ever
20:24
you Absol? Why, why is that?
20:25
Why do they keep advocating for that?
20:27
A hell of a coincidence? Anyways Bobby.
20:29
What are your thoughts man? Well I think the hardest thing
20:36
is going to be getting through their thick sheets of paper that
20:39
they just want to slap on the table.
20:40
You know, laws. They always come out like an an
20:43
r, a novel, but they don't really contain any value.
20:47
And I think proof of stake, it's tempting for people to do it.
20:51
Obviously the Temptation is you just buy it and your quote
20:54
unquote guaranteed your 5% and people want that.
20:59
What? But what does that get them?
21:00
Like Jeff Booth says, people don't want more money.
21:02
They want what money gets them. And what you don't get is your
21:07
money because it's locked up in some trusted, third party,
21:10
typically, as how aetherium operates, and then instead of
21:14
having your large lump sum of money, you're only In your
21:16
little 5% kind of ration. You know, it's almost like
21:19
you're already eating the bugs and proof of work into making
21:23
the grid more resilient and there's a lot of value I think
21:26
to it. But yeah, you're to hear your
21:28
guys thoughts, too. Yeah, there's a tremendous
21:31
amount of value. It's going to incentivize green
21:34
energy, right. It actually makes green energy
21:36
potential e profitable without the need of government subsidy,
21:41
but it was never about that this whole ways of it been about
21:44
power. And remember the United Oceans
21:46
report that was released a couple weeks ago.
21:49
It's funny because at the top it says prosperity for all.
21:52
But you know, it says, specifically in the language we
21:55
must. Do you incentivize the adoption
21:57
of cryptocurrencies and developing countries and we must
22:01
use regulation to do it? You know, it is goes back to
22:04
what we were always saying. Bitcoin exposes all incentives,
22:08
right? All of them, right?
22:10
And all the talent Aryans and all the authoritarians, and all
22:13
the people that were using Noble causes.
22:16
Get exposed for what they really want and that's one of the
22:19
beauties of Bitcoin. One of the most unknown features
22:22
of Bitcoin anyways Opti. Why don't you chime in on this
22:25
brother? Well, I mean I'm just going to
22:28
reiterate what you said at the beginning.
22:30
We are living through the separation of money and stay and
22:33
we knew that this was going to happen, like no one should
22:35
really be surprised that this is happening, but the I think the
22:39
big surprising part about this is the fact that the White House
22:43
is, you know, doubling down on Banning From work but also
22:47
endorsing proof of stake like who who who didn't see this
22:51
coming? Remember the meme that Nico is
22:53
calling Etha fed coin a little while back.
22:55
Like it's very obvious that the powers that be.
22:58
We say it all the time, like, you don't even have to read
23:00
these articles after time because you already know what
23:02
they're going to say. Like proof-of-work, bad proof of
23:04
stake is less energy-intensive, their polar.
23:06
You should use proof of stake and like we tell you guys all
23:09
the time, you know, proof of steak is just the Fiat system on
23:12
the quote unquote, my blockchain like the state hates you.
23:15
They do not Not want you to have freedom money, they do not want
23:18
you to own Freedom money. And as we tell you guys all the
23:20
time, this is a revolution of the individual.
23:23
So of course, the collectivist are going to try to do, whatever
23:26
they can to stop Freedom money from proliferating out into the
23:31
world. And furthermore, we saw this
23:32
week, the dang, I'm blanking on who it was that exactly said
23:36
this. But another institution was
23:38
saying that, you know, Bitcoin has crossed out, Rubicon into
23:42
mainstream Consciousness and of course, now after that report,
23:46
Release. We're starting to see them clam
23:48
down and all this stuff. Like the blueprint for what is
23:51
happening. Once you understand what is
23:53
going to happen, it becomes very obvious.
23:55
What the next moves are saying. And, you know, like I've said it
23:59
before and I'll probably continue to say this as we have
24:02
to continue to counter this Fudd, but it's very telling that
24:06
the fact that the White House and furthermore these
24:08
institutions, the powers that be are focusing so much on Bitcoin
24:13
mining and and the quote unquote is energy.
24:16
When Bitcoin mining the energy uses such a small sector
24:19
compared to the Legacy Fiat system compared to the
24:22
military-industrial complex compared to even gold mining.
24:25
It's like, it's really a Telltale sign that it's not
24:29
about the energy. Use has Nico, has continued to
24:31
brought the receipts to you guys on the show.
24:34
It's always been about control because I mean guys we tell you
24:37
I literally tell you like every single day I am reminded of
24:40
Christine lagarde's quote and and furthermore you know, this
24:43
isn't about the European Union but there Lying to you about
24:46
inflation in Europe as well. But Christine Lagarde, tells you
24:49
guys all the time in her quote of.
24:52
If there's an escape door, we have to stop it or else people
24:55
will use it. This is just them doubling down
24:57
on that narrative. Again, it's not about the
25:00
environment it's about control, but the environment is the
25:04
scapegoat. And this is why they will
25:05
continue to use that narrative because it's just a popular
25:09
narrative. Like people don't dig deep into
25:12
the, you know, the Nuance they just read the headlines.
25:15
Like, oh proof of work is Boiling the oceans, you know,
25:17
Bitcoin mining has this much energy used as a small country.
25:21
Like, oh my God, you know, the whole world is going to be
25:24
using. Wait, what was the other mean?
25:26
The other one. It was like a Bitcoin mining
25:28
will use all the world's energy by 2022 or something like that.
25:32
It's, it's just absolutely crazy, man.
25:35
Like you want to know what's going to happen?
25:37
There cutting, everybody's energy back.
25:39
So they're going to say 50 percent of the world's energy.
25:44
Exactly, guys, I'm gonna die. Down on what Molly band says,
25:47
you know, ESG is a scam. Like, fuck, all their ESG,
25:51
narratives, don't appease, these ESG carbon hysterics, like
25:55
energy uses, good guys, as you guys are seeing what's going on
25:58
in Europe, they want you in the fucking Stone age's.
26:01
Use more energy. Energy means that Society is
26:04
prospering Bitcoin needs more energy.
26:07
Like I want Bitcoin to have as much energy as well because I
26:11
don't see what other use. We could use energy for them.
26:14
Securing the world's best money and and touring our value into
26:17
the future like White House. Y'all have lost the plot and you
26:21
guys have really exposed your hand, the here like to all the
26:24
people thinking that we are, you know, right wing extremists
26:29
guys. Did you not just see this
26:31
fascist frickin speech? Last no, wait, hold on, hold on,
26:35
hold on. Jesus, stop using energy like
26:46
What is going on? I Nica you can reel me in.
26:49
Okay? Okay, okay.
26:50
So another hell, a lot of cool, a lot of confidence has lately.
26:54
This is an article from zero head dropped Thursday.
26:58
What does that say? What does that say, Opti?
27:00
What does that say? Wow, Ethier.
27:03
IAM is the most likely base layer for a global CBD.
27:06
See it makes sense. Makes sense.
27:11
Why is proof of stake etherium? Good Bitcoin bad.
27:16
Look, guys, here's the reality coin.
27:17
Confirmed fed coin confirmed. Here's the reality.
27:21
Bitcoins proof of work, is what makes you and Michael sailor
27:25
equal in the eyes of the Bitcoin Network?
27:28
You guys don't have more influence over each other proof
27:32
of stake, is a step backwards proof of stake is the system
27:36
that we've had for centuries. The person with the most at
27:41
stake, the person with the most amount of Fiat, the most, the
27:44
most will have the most Amount of influence and power over the
27:47
network. Now, the question that I have
27:50
for you guys is look at the results of that, right?
27:53
Look at the results of that. It's totalitarianism.
27:56
It's tyranny. Right?
27:58
Bitcoin, we have a chance to break that cycle.
28:01
We have a chance to move Humanity into the future where
28:05
someone who has 100,000 Bitcoin, can't bully the person that has
28:10
point one Bitcoin. .01 Bitcoin. That's what we fight for and
28:15
when they attack Bitcoins proof of stake and I mean, proof of
28:19
work and they're advocating for proof of stake.
28:21
That's what they're attacking these people.
28:23
Fundamentally believe that they could run your life better than
28:26
you could run it yourself. That's what this is about.
28:29
This is Central planning versus individuals making their own
28:32
decisions. That's what this is all about,
28:35
right? Well, we are advocating for is
28:37
that the world would be a better place.
28:39
If individuals just took a little bit more personal
28:43
responsibility, Over their life, whether that is seeking
28:46
information on their own or whether that is not trusting
28:49
anyone to store their wealth for them, taking that power back
28:54
into your hands. And what Bitcoin facilitates is
28:57
it allows you to do that easily. And it moves the balance of
29:01
power from the mob, from the state, back to the individual.
29:05
Now, You can memorize 12 words in your head and you could store
29:10
millions billions trillions of dollars in your mind and you
29:13
could go to a country that treats you best.
29:16
That's the reality. And that's the world that we're
29:19
heading into and that is exactly what they don't want.
29:23
So don't buy into the propaganda, don't buy into the
29:26
political spin. It's not the Democrats.
29:29
It's not the remember Republicans, it's the money, fix
29:32
the money, fix the world anyways, Opti sort of the

Oh, that's right. You're sleeping, bro.
30:09
I know, bro, I'm calming down. I went, I went to.
30:14
It's fucking pissed. Me off.
30:15
Oh, and I forgot to read the response from David, which I'll
30:18
read it in a second. Anyways, this is Pacific
30:20
Bitcoin, guys, going to be the largest Bitcoin conference on
30:22
the west coast never 10. Through 11 Los Angeles,
30:24
California. Speaker list, includes core.
30:26
Eclipsed in Lynn. Alden, Jeff Booth, Dylan
30:28

30:32
Jeff Ross somehow Niko's on there.
30:33
You can take advantage of the promo code simply to get a
30:37

30:41
Pacific Bitcoin. Anyways, Opti, what do you have
30:44
before? Hold on.
30:45
I have to make sure that you need rehab.
30:47
Yeah, I have to make because I know a lot of you guys are
30:51
thinking, holy crap, we're losing this.
30:54
Our side is doing something I got a ask for a comment from
30:57
David from the Bitcoin policy Institute.
31:01
This is what he said to quote. The ostp report is more or less
31:05
positive for Bitcoin. Contrary to Popular fear, the
31:08
ostp did not call for a ban on proof of work though, the report
31:11
demonstrated some misunderstandings acknowledge
31:14
the benefits benefits. Bitcoin mining could have in
31:17
terms of Renewables, flaring wasted methane and acknowledge
31:20
that less energy-intensive consensus mechanisms like proof
31:23
of stake come with real trade-offs BP.
31:25
I will continue to educate policymakers on the benefits of
31:28
Bitcoin and combat false narratives about mine about
31:32
mining's, environmental impact. So at the end of the day, guys,
31:35
remember BP. Is the Bitcoin lobbying arm in
31:39
Washington DC and they have a play politics so that is the
31:43
respond from BPI. David is an awesome guy.
31:46
They're doing a great job over there and I know that they're
31:49
going to continue exposing the false narratives by the
31:54
mainstream media. Anyways Abdi, what do you have
31:57
for the culture for us today, brother?
31:59
All right guys well this and donate to the to the Bitcoin
32:02
policy Institute. There you go.
32:04
All right guys. So this article right here by
32:07
Bitcoin mag dropped yesterday but before I get into this I'm
32:12
not bringing the tweets that everyone saw on Twitter from,
32:16
you know, your favorite influencers saying that
32:19
lightning network has failed. I do have a few up here and this
32:23
isn't just a the thread or a theme that's happened in the
32:27
last week. It's been around for a while and
32:30
I pulled up this one Clarice, you know, core eclipsing from
32:33
Swan and you know your favorite shit, coin influencers.
32:37
Well have been saying the same thing that apparently lightning
32:41
is failed because it hasn't gained much traction.
32:43
And, you know, I I'd expect these narratives from from, you
32:47
know, people that are shit corners or quote, unquote,
32:50
pseudo bitcoiners, but now those themes and those narratives and
32:55
the Fudd is making its way into quote, unquote, Bitcoin circles,
32:58
and I've seen a few of my friends.
33:00
Say, the same thing that like lightning network has failed
33:02
because it doesn't, you know, it's too clunky.
33:05
It hasn't had the mainstream. Adoption only .02 percent of
33:09
people have adopted lightning Network.
33:10
It's a failure because you know, it's only 3 years old and no
33:13
one's using it. And, you know, I just, I, it's
33:19
hard not to just be like, yeah, this is absolute trash fund,
33:22
guys. But we do have this article, I'm
33:24
not going to cover the whole article, but as you can see,
33:26
yesterday was the one year anniversary, since El Salvador
33:30
made Bitcoin legal tender. And this article right here, the
33:34
state of lightning one year after El Salvador, guys.
33:37
Definitely check it out. It's a long article.
33:39
If you're new to lightning, it'll explain what the lightning
33:41
network is, but it also will show you that there has been
33:45
continual growth on the lightning Network, and I brought
33:48
some visualizer, so that you guys can see this stuff.
33:51
But I'm glad that we have Bobby here because he's someone that's
33:54
working on Lightning behind the scenes, so we can get some more
33:57
insight on. Hey, you know, just are we just
34:00
eating the Twitter hope IAM or are these are the stats true.
34:05
And as you can see, there's in the This article, there's a
34:07
bunch of countries that are also following the train of adopting
34:11
Bitcoin. So what is going on here guys?
34:14
Is Lightning. A failed project?
34:16
I don't know. Last time I checked lightning
34:18
work for me but I really like the narratives that we have out
34:21
here. First of all, it's a, you know,
34:23
lightning is failed because only 0.02 percent of the people have
34:27
adopted the network or lightning is failed because there's a only
34:32
87 Bitcoin on the network for microtransactions and More.
34:37
You know, there's more rap Bitcoin in on shit, coin chains,
34:41
and like, what's going on out here guys?
34:43
So I brought some charts here before I get Bobby's views on
34:47
this stuff and like here's the lightning that work from a sink
34:52
lightning visual added 15,800, 13 nodes 81,000 channels.
34:57
As you can see, it's becoming a worldwide Network out here guys.
35:01
And then furthermore, I couldn't find the my favorite lightning
35:05
visualizer. So someone Hit me to the other
35:07
one, but look at this crazy stuff going on out here.
35:10
Looks it's starting to look like a brain.
35:12
There's a bunch of neurons out here.
35:13
And then here is a Bitcoin visuals.com on lightning.
35:18
And as you can see, the continual growth of nodes the
35:21
continual growth of channels, the network is continuing to
35:24
grow and Niko showed you in the beginning from glass node.
35:26
You know the capacity per channel is got like all the
35:29
metrics and regard to lightning is going.
35:32
And as we drop this on you guys in the beginning like big
35:36
corporations. Building on the back end during
35:38
the bear Market to use and integrate lightning into their
35:44
business models. I mean, Twitter already has
35:47
lightning, you know, cash app strike, great app using
35:50
lightning. But like, what is going on here,
35:53
guys? And I brought this little tweet
35:54
up right there across, and I think it, I think it kind of
35:58
makes a good point here where he goes.
36:00
Look right running a Bitcoin lightning node is easy Just you
36:04
know, put some Bitcoin up, connects them some outbound
36:07
liquidity and start spending, or even further, you know, download
36:10
Moon wallet and start spending Bitcoin or you know like it's
36:16
really not as hard as people make it out there but anyways
36:19
just to get on his tweet running a successful Bitcoin, lightning
36:22
node is hard, it requires more upkeep and management than one
36:25
expects this will get better as time progresses forward and as
36:28
new services and products are built on type of on top of
36:31
lightning. So guys and of course I got to
36:33
bring in Memes in here. I really love how it goes to
36:35
Becca. Did this on Twitter?
36:36
She goes cell phones, were a failure because there was no
36:38
Mass adoption in 1989, guys. This is where I think we're at
36:43
right now. Look Bitcoin.
36:46
The wow, amazing Bobby, 100 routed 46, BTC in one week,
36:50
amazing. All right guys, like this is
36:53
where we are right now, big or lightning that work is still a
36:58
baby out there. It's relatively new and yeah,
37:01
hey, it doesn't have mainstream adoption.
37:03
Option. But neither does Bitcoin like
37:06
how many people are using Bitcoin in the world right now?
37:09
Last time I checked it wasn't the whole world is Bitcoin a
37:12
failed project as well. It's like no guys.
37:15
It is still a growing project out there but the amount of
37:19
people building on top of lightning is absolutely amazing.
37:23
And guys, I use lightning last night, you know, like shots out
37:27
the zbd streamer kit. We were, we were freaking
37:29
streaming SATs to each other trolling each other in the
37:33
comments. I sense adds to my friends.
37:36
I pay them in lightning all the time.
37:38
It's like download blue wallet, like download Moon wallet or if
37:43
you are technical create a raised by Blitz like be someone
37:47
that builds on the network, be a part of the solution.
37:50
Stop fighting on Twitter because you know, my privacy Solutions
37:54
in my, you know, my clunky lightning Network.
37:57
So it's like guys, if you don't like Lightning by all means
38:01
don't use it. But when you go out on Twitter,
38:03
Her and you start saying stupid stuff.
38:05
Like lightning network is failed after three years, what maybe
38:09
four years like lower your time. Preference is this not a Bitcoin
38:14
meme like you guys talk about oh my Lord time preference.
38:17
But yet you know because Bitcoin doesn't have mainstream or
38:20
lightning network doesn't have mainstream adoption right now
38:22
like it's a failed project last time I check people are
38:26
continuing to add Bitcoin on the network.
38:29
The the node capacities going up, the nodes on the network are
38:33
going up. Channels continue to go up and
38:36
we just got the news over the weekend at B Block.
38:39
Boom of in Wolf's clothing. It's like the companies are
38:44
coming guys. Bitcoiners are building in the
38:46
bear Market at the what this is this is essentially lightning
38:50
that works. First bear Market was created
38:52
last bear market and now it's a failed project like you guys
38:56
need to lower your time. Preference Bitcoin is definitely
38:58
working and furthermore like Bobby said in the beginning, you
39:02
know, we have sailor now. Hey, say what you want about
39:04
Michael sailor, but he's out here saying that the most
39:08
exciting thing going on in the world is development of
39:11
lightning protocol and he's backing his own money, where his
39:14
mouth is to help the progression of the lightning Network, guys.
39:18
Hey well there, you know, well, everything ever, you know,
39:22
beyond lightning that work? Who knows?
39:25
Probably not, maybe they'll be other layer tooth.
39:27
But guys, lightning. That work is definitely working.
39:29
I highly recommend you just put some sat on on a blue wallet.
39:33
Hey, It's custodial or whatever. But like yo, it is working, and
39:37
if you really want to take the steps to have, you know, your
39:41
own custody of your Bitcoin, then run a node and put Bitcoin
39:45
up and connect your, your, your note to other nodes and spend
39:49
through it, you don't have to become a lightning routing node
39:51
for you guys, to be able to use lightning correctly.
39:55
It's really not as hard as people make it out to seem like,
39:58
if I can do it, hashtag High functional dumb.
40:01
I've been using lightning since Actually, I could like, 2018 in
40:06
the very beginning, literally once Pierre, put out the
40:09
lightning, what was it? The lightning node network node
40:13
software. I'm butchering it.
40:14
I've been trying to use lightning because lightning
40:17
literally kills the shit coin. Narratives of my faster, my
40:20
quicker Bitcoin transactions. Lightning is working, guys.
40:24
Like it's really as simple as understanding that lightning is
40:28
not dead. I look at the visuals guys, like
40:31
look at the stats. It's continuing to Grow it's out
40:35
here growing and people are still saying is dying.
40:41
I don't know how much worse and farther from the truces could
40:44
be. But hey, I am just a pleb that
40:47
you know, average Bitcoin ER that has a lightning node that
40:50
uses lightning every single day but maybe maybe I don't see the
40:54
full picture and we have Bobby here who works with lightning
40:58
and he gave us some sauce in the beginning.
40:59
Guys, it's lightning is not dead.
41:03
Alright. Anyways, Bobby rent over.
41:05
What? What can you tell the people it
41:06
is. The lightning Network a failed
41:08
project. Yeah, it's definitely not one
41:12
interesting thing. I mean, I'll start by saying I
41:15
really love working for a lightning company because I get
41:18
to see behind the scenes things that are happening and it always
41:20
keeps me excited and encouraged but it's definitely not dead.
41:25
I think people just have obviously High Time preference.
41:28
We're all load time preferences here and we were talking about
41:31
energy with Bitcoin earlier, you know?
41:33
A the government wants us to eat this kind of derivative, like
41:38
trash food, they don't want us working out.
41:40
They want to have us on pills, they want us using less energy
41:43
as people ourselves. Like, they don't want us doing
41:46
that and they want to season less energy with Mining and when
41:49
it comes to lightning, it uses very little energy.
41:52
So I think lightning is the solution to a lot of these
41:56
problems and it brings value to people globally and we're seeing
41:59
it globally, like we touched on, at the beginning.
42:01
But what's very interesting and I think I think why it's not
42:04
dead is we're seeing people shift their careers behind the
42:07
scenes and come and build these parallel Solutions and
42:12
technologies that are just like the Legacy world.
42:15
But they run with lightning rails and they use Bitcoin as
42:18
the payment Rail. And I think kind of wrap up like
42:23
a lot of this stuff. This fudge like we have to
42:25
remember Game Theory. You know, even though there's
42:28
not this war of countries owning Bitcoin, I think the response
42:32
America wants to take is Doing what China did in saying, hey
42:35
we're going to ban it but at the end of the day everyone's going
42:37
to want their own bag because when it comes to global trade
42:41
tariffs and trying to like hold others accountable, Bitcoin is
42:45
the tool that holds people accountable because it gives you
42:49
the freedom and you the autonomy and you the sovereignty for no
42:52
one else to debase the work you've done and to take away
42:55
your future time. So I'd say stay patient.
42:58
Stay humble stack SATs. Learn to run a node and if you
43:02
ever need help with any of this, I mean reach out to us at
43:04
voltage, that's what we're here to do.
43:06
We're serving the plebs and we're serving anyone building on
43:09
bitcoin. Let's go.
43:11
Hold on me go one more. We got this comment right here
43:14
and the YouTube chat. I think we should respond to it.
43:18
I am love. Lightning network is not
43:20
working. All caps lightning network is
43:22
not working. Do not fucking promote.
43:23
It is a fucking shit coin. Bobby, what would you say?
43:29
Um, I would say you're the person that the government
43:33
doesn't What are using energy. So get out of your mom's
43:35
basement and use some energy. Oh man.
43:41
Wow yeah. Last time I checked there is no
43:44
token attached to lightning Network.
43:47
What are you talking about? It's chicken.
43:50
People have lost the plot anyways.
43:54
Oh boy. Miko.
43:58
I know let's ask Nico cuz I know Nico is a recent lightning
44:02
convert. He's been telling me for a while
44:04
he's like he's a man on chain Maxie so I don't use my mine
44:09
Bitcoin, bro. So like like people are like the
44:12
fees and like problem, I'm paying myself, I'm okay.
44:16
So, yeah, I'm a main chain guy. I don't, I don't try to hide it.
44:20
I do like mun wallet, though. And the reason I like mine
44:23
wallet and you guys are voltage or doing a really great job at
44:26
this. Is dude, it's Plug and Play,
44:29
okay? And I really like Plug and Play,
44:31
like, I understand, you know, it is not a fully custodial
44:36
solution, it's a little bit better than still duel.
44:40
Yeah, I know that it's a not, it's a, it's a custodian.
44:43
Oh, it's a semi custodial solution while because they use
44:46
submarine, whatever, but it is better than a fully custodial,
44:51
lightning wallet. But, you know, the reason I'm
44:54
okay with that is because, you know, I keep maybe 100 or Bucks
44:57
on their. Okay, fine, it's not a big deal,
44:59
right? It's like a wallet.
45:03
I think, I believe that currently running a node running
45:08
a lightning note, even though I can do it, I've done it before
45:11
in the past. It's a little bit too complex.
45:14
And I think that you guys at voltage or doing a great job at
45:19
making that a little bit easier for the users, I think that will
45:24
change in time. But right, what is lighting for
45:29
at the end of the day, right? Lighting's for small payments,
45:32
right? Um, lightning is for buying
45:35
Bitcoin at a coffee shop, right? That's what Lightnings for.
45:39
So you really got to find what you are comfortable with Bobby.
45:43
You want to respond to that? Yeah, I think if you want to use
45:47
lightning yourself and not rely on a custodian, you can run your
45:50
own node and open up a girthy channel.
45:53
As we say to a quality node and you can make bigger payments.
45:56
It's just do you want to do that?
45:58
Now, if you're saying, lightning network doesn't work.
46:01
It's likely because you're relying.
46:02
Why I never, I never, I never, I never said that.
46:05
So the person who okay, I am love in the comments who said
46:08
it's good. So it's like whenever you use
46:11
the lightning Network it hops from peer to peer and these
46:14
peers need to be able to send the payment.
46:15
So if their channel is unbalanced, if they're nodes
46:19
offline, whatever it may be, you're going to run into issues.
46:21
So to kind of make it simple. If you want to make these
46:24
payments run your own node, open a big Channel, connect to
46:27
high-quality nodes and you can make bigger payments, it works
46:30
fine. But a lot of these Services very
46:32
early on On their custodial Services, you're relying on
46:35
their node. I was sending a blue wallet
46:37
payment, a few months ago or my buddy was sitting me one and it
46:39
couldn't send for a day because their node had issues.
46:42
So these are the things that come with early technology, you
46:44
know, everyone's wanting to work on decentralized Solutions,
46:47
noncustodial Solutions, and giving that power and autonomy
46:51
to the person with less work that needs to be done by them.
46:54
But unfortunately it does take a little bit of work and knowledge
46:57
at this point but just like anything else, it's improving
47:00
every single day. So I would say, you know, Stay
47:03
positive about it and share feedback with those who can make
47:05
a difference and educate. Yeah, 100%.
47:08
I'm extremely bullish on the future of the lightning Network.
47:11
I think the growth itself speaks for itself but it's exactly what
47:14
you said. The the technology right now is
47:17
more. So for enthusiasts, right?
47:19
And the analogy that I make is it's like the internet in the
47:23
90s, right? Is like, I don't know,
47:25
mainstream thing, dude. You're like, what the hell is
47:27
this? Remember dial-up?
47:29
Like, dude, it was pretty crazy. Now, you could just plop Your
47:32
phone. You can watch a YouTube video
47:35
anywhere you are because you could do it through data.
47:37
Like it's it's it's night a day and I believe lightning is
47:41
heading to that, where it's so freaking easy to use.
47:45
The user doesn't even know what's going on in the back end.
47:48
It's just that that da, you know, and I believe that's where
47:51
it's only five years from now. I think we're going to see that
47:53
a little bit 10 years from now. I think it's going to be
47:56
unrecognizable to where it's at today.
47:58
So I'm extremely bullish on the future of the lightning Network
48:02
on. On what it what it was always
48:04
meant to do, right? It was meant for micro payments
48:06
and I think that's going to enable a whole other side of the
48:09
internet that we're not even aware could even exist the for
48:15
us content creators, right? The, the whole Fountain thing,
48:19
right? Absolutely incredible.
48:21
Get paid peer to peer directly from the person that wants to
48:24
sponsor you once the pay you for your work.
48:26
That's incredible. And I think that's a total Game
48:28
Changer and that's really only possible through the lightning
48:31
Network. So, Yeah, man.
48:33
Incredibly bullish and I love what you guys are doing at
48:36
Cloud. What you guys are doing at a
48:37
voltage. You guys are making it easier to
48:41
onboard people onto lightning and I think that is one of the
48:44
biggest hurdles right to people like I think self I think trying
48:47
to get someone to take self. Custody is complicated.
48:50
I can't even imagine what it's like trying to convince someone
48:54
to set up a lightning node. So I applaud you guys for that.
48:58
Yeah, absolutely awesome. Okay, alright Opti it's a
49:03
favorite part of the show. It's the mean review.
49:07
Daily mean, review brought to you by B box to bitcoin, only
49:12
additional Hardware wallet by shift crypto crypto like
49:15
cryptography. It's secure, it's open source
49:18
and it's so easy, your mom can set it up.
49:21
Self custody is the revolution in the bit box.
49:24
Makes it simple, do not leave your Bitcoin on an exchange
49:28
order a bit box today. Let's go.
49:32
Let's go. All right so makes me want to
49:33
buy bit box every time dude high energy, high energy off these
49:37
away. I need to get jacked up every
49:41
episode, guys. Of course, of course.
49:44
Of course, before I get done with the mean review, make sure
49:47
you put your mean review score so we can cover it because we
49:51
want to add you to the show. But like Nico says all the time
49:54
and I butcher every single day tweets are the bullets.
49:57
And memes are the artillery in this information Warfare, guys.
50:00
If you Haven't noticed, we are winning the war and the people
50:04
are the powers that be are losing their goddamn mind
50:07
because we have the truth on their side and they can't meme
50:11
for any freaking purpose. Like, literally there means your
50:15
garbage, always have been always will be.
50:17
Anyways, this is an old meme, you can check the date, but I
50:21
think it's fitting considering that bitcoin price is dead and,
50:24
you know, we should just pack it up and go home because, you
50:27
know, my Bitcoins dying it's under 20K like Nothing.
50:31
You know, it's burning down, but shouts out the Rope, my boy,
50:35
rope him. He gets all his meme.
50:36
Stolen, shouts out to you dog. And he goes, I don't think you
50:39
understand hashtag Bitcoin, I just saw the Bitcoin price, are
50:43
you okay and from the Terminator with laser eyes?
50:46
I prayed for this, this is what everyone prays for.
50:49
I don't know how many times I got to tell you that the story
50:52
of like how many friends I've had that say oh if only Bitcoin
50:56
was back at 20K I'd buy and then 20K comes in like oh well now
51:00
it's 20K, I'm gonna buy at 10K and it's like, bro, you're never
51:04
going to buy time in the market beats timing.
51:06
The market just continue to Stacks at saving Bitcoin and
51:09
your life will get easier. It's very simple but this is the
51:12
opportunity you guys asked for. I hope you're stacking your
51:15
balls off out there. Anyways, shout out to my other
51:18
friends that yoshihara do on Twitter and he goes it really do
51:22
be like that sometimes hashtag Bitcoin and until you know
51:26
Bitcoin right here and he meets some persons his hi.
51:28
My name is Jason. He goes on ice.
51:30
Nice to meet you Jason and then tries to put Jason's name in his
51:34
brain. That is just continuously
51:36
thinking of Bitcoin and then a few friends and family in there.
51:40
And then you got to say his name again.
51:42
Say Jarvis want to hear about Bitcoin.
51:45
I did my Dunbar number is so it's so tapped out.
51:48
I don't remember anyone's names anymore.
51:50
I know you by your Twitter Avatar.
51:51
Just quit. Changing your avatars.
51:54
All right. This next one.
51:55
Nico. I know you'll going to make a
51:57
contention about this one but whatever a trough Miss goes.
52:01
Green is the new red and so you can see this, show me the lie
52:07
though, show me the lie though. Anyway, the next one is by our
52:13
friend, Becca and as I lightly covered on today's news section,
52:19
we got this morning that the ECB raise interest rates by 75 basis
52:22
points, which apparently is one of its highest raises and
52:26
forever and you know, but sirs, I thought inflation wasn't a
52:30
problem. Umm, and Becca's been dropping
52:32
this one on Twitter for a while, but it's even more poignant
52:35
here. Because again, is Christine
52:37
Lagarde known criminal and convicted felon, that is also
52:41
the head of the ECB president that you see be inflation.
52:44
Is here to say, cuz I'm not finished stealing from you.
52:47
Inflation is theft, it is slow. Slow theft guys.
52:51
Figure it out. Come on.
52:52
This is what we do. We're trying to figure it out
52:53
and then this next one, we go. Again again, this might be a
52:58
little contentious, but shouts, I'd be Whitman on BET.
53:01
And this is the our trade you offer meme, template it goes.
53:05
I trade offer. I receive Ukraine.
53:08
You receive air conditioning okay and this last one shouts
53:14
out to pee from Bitcoin magazine.
53:15
I saw this one yesterday and I wanted to add this at the end of
53:19
today's show because this is a theme that I've been talking
53:22
about on this show for weeks. Now you guys need to stay
53:25
positive. Militant positivity is the way
53:27
we are winning out here. Do not get distracted.
53:30
You got to Sure your positive energy out there because the
53:33
parasites are trying to feed off your negativity and they
53:36
literally die off your positivity.
53:38
So don't let the bastards grind you down persist.
53:42
And I really love this right here, man.
53:44
You know, walking through what it's like, Moses walking through
53:49
the water. Letting the sea part around you
53:51
because of Bitcoin. This is the energy guys.
53:54
We are winning. Continue to understand that we
53:56
were. Did I not bring them up?
53:58
Did you drop them? Hmm.
54:00
Don't know. Anyways and know they were up,
54:02
they were up the entire time. All right, I brought them down
54:05
in the middle at the end because he always forget to pull it
54:07
down. You're like my mean scored.
54:09
It's in a tiny little box anyways.
54:11
Anyways, my meme score review for today is this simply Bitcoin
54:16
sticker that bit Meg's gave me when it made that unsanctioned
54:21
Hornet, simply Bitcoin hoodie Bobby, would you give those
54:26

54:39
uncomfortable. All right Bobby.
54:40
What would you give those memes? I give the memes my keys because
54:44
memes are the key to the message man.
54:46
Keep making memes. Even when you make bad ones just
54:48
don't stop because one's going to hit and that's the shit that
54:51
matters. So keep making your mean.
54:53
That's right. That's right.
