- 0:45Edward Snowden celebrating the Bitcoin birthday and of course
- 0:48Craig Wright responding and they got into a little bit of a
- 0:51scuffle I thought that was interesting.
- 0:53Also Russia continuing to signaling that their legalizing
- 0:58Bitcoin mining and of course, they are also making it legal
- 1:03officially to use Bitcoin crypto in general to facilitate
- 1:08International payments. Why are they doing that?
- 1:10That because of current US sanctions policy.
- 1:13So things are heating up in this separation of money and state
- 1:16and also like the beef initiative, right?
- 1:19With this revolution, is all about personal responsibility.
- 1:23It's about individuals, taking back their personal sovereignty,

- 1:54Always optimistic, my live in truth.
- 1:56How you doing Opti? I am doing wonderful this
- 1:59morning Mika I'm excited for today's show.
- 2:01As you know I love I love the meme of making sure we have a
- 2:07Fit Body fit mine and fit Soul so that we can get our meat
- 2:09sacks over the Finish Line with these sad.
- 2:12Because I mean what what is the use of having sad too if you
- 2:15aren't healthy in the future? So I'm excited for this
- 2:18conversation today. Amen, to that.
- 2:20All right guys, let's start the show.
- 2:22Let's do this. The Bitcoin numbers brought to
- 2:31you by noddle. At this point, you should be
- 2:33running your own Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
- 2:35Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
- 2:39version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
- 2:41whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
- 2:45And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
- 2:48because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
- 2:51server. Visit nottle, Dottie you today,
- 2:54All right guys, at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is
- 2:5620,000 395. South per dollar 4903 block
- 3:01height, 760 1428 reachable, Bitcoin nodes, fifteen thousand,
- 3:05nine hundred, and three blocks to The Happening.
- 3:08We are at 50 blocks of having 78572 having estimate.
- 3:14April 21st, 2024 total lightning network capacity 5131 Bitcoin
- 3:19capacity value. I love it.
- 3:21We were so long at 98 or 99 million dollars.
- 3:25I'm glad that it's staying the lightning network capacity.
- 3:28It's finally staying above 100 million.
- 3:30Hopefully gets to half a billion.
- 3:32Hopefully eventually it gets to a billion but not so fast
- 3:36because still things are breaking and lightning and which
- 3:39is interesting. Shout out to Brock okay.
- 3:42Realize monetary inflation one point seven, one point seven
- 3:45seven percent Bitcoin continues to take Fiat currencies to
- 3:48Absolute School even in the u.s. dollars ideal situation of, you
- 3:53know, the the This touted 2% inflation which I don't know.
- 3:56We're going to get back to that anytime soon, but coins still
- 3:59slang and that number is going to continue to go down.
- 4:03As more as remember, there's a cap Supply is 21 million divided
- 4:07by infinity and there's a happening.
- 4:09Meaning the supply pressure on the market gets cut in half
- 4:14roughly every four years and market capitalization where 391
- 4:19billion dollars with Abby Bitcoin is still baby.
- 4:21Anyways, I have a video for us to react This is Sam Blankman,
- 4:26he is the CEO of FTX exchange and he was having a conversation
- 4:31with Erik Voorhees. Erik Voorhees is one of the
- 4:34Bitcoin. Oh, jeez.
- 4:34He went on to Fat found this company called shape-shift.
- 4:39They're very famous back in the day because they didn't require
- 4:41you to make an account to exchange.
- 4:46Let's say you wanted to exchange Bitcoin to aetherium.
- 4:48They were forced, inevitably to add kyc eventually, and they
- 4:52also added a lot of shit coin support.
- 4:54You kind of went down that rabbit hole kind of sucks,
- 4:56right? But it's very interesting, this
- 4:58conversation. I want you guys to pay attention
- 5:00because at the end of the day, ft x is one of the most powerful
- 5:04exchanges right now and the fact that the CEO is having these
- 5:09types of conversations or has these views on privacy on kyc
- 5:15and am l. It's definitely not a good
- 5:18thing. And remember there was actually
- 5:20rumors that FTX was going to buy coinbase, right?
- 5:22They were, they, I think they build out block Phi, if I'm not
- 5:26mistaken or I think it was, is one of those companies, right?
- 5:30Is a very, very powerful exchange and it's extremely
- 5:34troubling. That this is what the CEO this
- 5:37is the COS perspective. Anyways, I'm going to shut up
- 5:40and play the video and we'll talk about it.
- 5:42Did we hit that like actually a suit Front Ends by Americans
- 5:45targeting, American retail had to be licensed.
- 5:49I think that could be reasonable, which is if the
- 5:53question was let's let's acknowledge that the email
- 5:57protocol will be permissionless as a protocol.
- 6:00Yep. But it was the law of the land
- 6:02in America that every email front-end provider required kyc,
- 6:05from its users. Yeah.
- 6:07Because under the justification that we do not want people
- 6:10sending information back and forth with Yep.
- 6:13Where would you stand on that position?
- 6:14Oh, I'd be strongly against opposition.
- 6:16I think it'd be. I think the, why, why?
- 6:18Why be considered? Because, I think that it would
- 6:20be like, against freedom of speech.
- 6:21I think it'd be disenfranchising lot of people are they would not
- 6:24trust in practice that he would do a good job.
- 6:26So I agree with you on all that come I'm making distinction.
- 6:29Here between for instance he minutes versus like derivatives
- 6:35contracts. Why is Ave somehow different
- 6:38than email? So why is it Than email.
- 6:44You argued so well. And so passionately.
- 6:46Yeah, not block email with licensing and kyc.
- 6:49I loved hearing that. Yep.
- 6:51That filled my soul with joy such arguments.
- 6:54What does that not? Apply to financial transactions?
- 6:57So why does it not apply to financial transactions?
- 7:04I think there are a few things. Oh no, you can't play that music
- 7:08but No answer, right? And there is no answer.
- 7:12And remember, what payments are what money is essentially money
- 7:16is a form of speech, right? That's the reality, right?
- 7:19And the justification is, if we don't kyc, if we don't, AML
- 7:26Financial terrorism, crime, all this stuff.
- 7:28Remember those are the same justifications that the
- 7:30Department of Homeland Security used to break the First
- 7:35Amendment to justify the censoring of certain types of
- 7:39speech on. Twitter, right?
- 7:41It's the same thing, right? Money is a form of speech and
- 7:45this kind of goes back to the idea that I've been telling you
- 7:47guys over the last month or so over the last couple of weeks.
- 7:52What world do you want to live in?
- 7:53Do you want to live in a world with an open monetary Network
- 7:57where individuals are allowed to transact freely which is what
- 8:00Bitcoin enables them to do? Or do you want to live in a
- 8:03world where a bureaucratic Elite get to dictate who you are?
- 8:08Who's entitled to use money? Unnie who is not entitled to use
- 8:12money and who is entitled to, what type of information who is
- 8:15entitled to other type of information?
- 8:18Because that, that's the decision here, right?
- 8:20You can't have one and not the other, right?
- 8:24And the world that they want us to live in, right?
- 8:26And tie this in with the censoring, the D banking of
- 8:29certain individuals from Banks, right?
- 8:31Tie this in with PayPal's, new terms of service where, if you
- 8:35say certain types of things, right?
- 8:37They you know, they they find you 500.
- 8:41And I'm sure they'll also D platform you as well, right?
- 8:44Like, they've done to certain political people in the past,
- 8:47right? So what type of world do we want
- 8:50to live in the future, right? And I think it's a very
- 8:52important question to ask. It's a very obvious question and
- 8:56both worlds, have pros and cons. I just believe that the open
- 9:00monetary world, this world, where individuals are allowed to
- 9:04speak freely and it's the free market of ideas, that get to
- 9:07decide. What ideas are good.
- 9:08What ideas are bad. I Prefer that world, right?
- 9:12The world that they want to live in is, hey, look, we at the
- 9:16government. The all-knowing are, you know,
- 9:19we'll know what's best for you guys, and I think that's very
- 9:22dangerous, and I think that's led to catastrophic consequences
- 9:26that have been shown over the last couple years, right?
- 9:29And it's very troubling that the CEO of one of the most powerful,
- 9:35you know, crypto exchanges. It doesn't even have an answer
- 9:38that he doesn't even have a justification.
- 9:40For it because it's pure hypocrisy.
- 9:43It's like email. You it's an email notes, freedom
- 9:45of speech. It's like the payments and it's
- 9:47like Difference is that governments and the people in
- 9:54charge, the elites, get a tremendous amount of power from
- 9:58being the Monopoly in the creation of money and also from
- 10:03being able to control the money flows in the first place, right?
- 10:08So that's why it's different. But in terms of the freedom of
- 10:11speech argument, it's exactly the same.
- 10:14It just happens to be something that is about power, and that's
- 10:18what this is about, and this very troubling Language from
- 10:22from Sam. I don't know if he'll wake up.
- 10:24I think he's bought and paid for at this point, anyways.
- 10:26Andy, what are your thoughts, bro?
- 10:28Yeah man. Look at you look at salmon and I
- 10:30think what was it a month or two ago that he's like going to put
- 10:33a billion dollars and to put a couple campaigns of folks who
- 10:37want to expand government who want to expand government
- 10:40overreach of you know I know Healthcare that's my first
- 10:43language but Healthcare overreach of monetary Supply
- 10:47like this is his gig and it's not linear logic.
- 10:49You know it seems like There's spaghetti logic, you're going on
- 10:52what you just so clearly pointed out.
- 10:55Yeah, absolutely Opti. What are your thoughts on this,
- 10:58bro? Well, first of all, as someone
- 11:03that likes to look at body language, it is very telling his
- 11:07body language that he's completely stumped here and that
- 11:10he he's trying to find, you know, a way to make this sound
- 11:16good when he knows, he got cornered.
- 11:18And secondly, I think you kind of hit the nail on the head.
- 11:21This is always about control and it really His incentives are all
- 11:26messed up and that he and his friends are trying to get their
- 11:28grubby fingers between you and your Bitcoin.
- 11:30So would not be using ft x and furthermore, like Andy pointed
- 11:35out, we know where his incentive lie and we can bury obviously
- 11:40see that he and his crony friends are doing in my opinion
- 11:45of, obviously, this is my opinion, some nefarious things
- 11:48in the space and they're trying to recreate the Fiat system on
- 11:51the blockchain. And again, it's always been
- 11:54about control. Owl and it will always be about
- 11:56control and ftfs FBF getting stumped.
- 12:01In this videos. Absolutely hilarious.
- 12:02I really love the man. I'm blanking on the music at the
- 12:07end but Larry David. Yeah, the Larry David music.
- 12:11It's just perfect man and furthermore I think we need to
- 12:14reiterate. That Bitcoin is just a message
- 12:17in communication protocol. It is literally just sending
- 12:19data and so there is no difference between Bitcoin as a
- 12:24value. Payments protocol and email
- 12:27protocol. It's literally just sending
- 12:28data. So obviously his bias is is
- 12:33exposed as Nico. He says, Bitcoin exposes
- 12:36people's true incentives and hey man you know asking the hard
- 12:41questions and not getting the right answers.
- 12:43From SBF is very telling about what is going on over there at
- 12:46FTX and furthermore, don't use FTX guys.
- 12:51And if you do take your Bitcoin in the South custody because
- 12:54hey, I would not be using that platform.
- 12:58I wonder how many counts on FTX have just Bitcoin in it, right
- 13:03like f, there can't be many of those can there and if there are
- 13:07those people need to get off of FTX.
- 13:09Like they clearly are not into your your best interest.
- 13:12So I'll let go that like get the hell off of ft x or supporting
- 13:17this. This nonsense.
- 13:19Yeah, 100%. Is that guy Swan had this
- 13:21amazing tweet? And it's always stuck in my mind
- 13:23is that she had Corners don't Line judge stabbing Bitcoin in
- 13:26the back if it means getting their Lambos right, and it's
- 13:29like the old systems of power don't change.
- 13:32As long as I'm the one that's in power, I don't want to
- 13:35effectuate change, it's like it's okay.
- 13:36We can continue this system of censorship and control Capital
- 13:40controls, and all that. Now that I'm the one in the
- 13:43driver's seat, it's all good, right?
- 13:44And that kind of coincides, with, or the kind of sinks with
- 13:47what you're saying about his certain political donations to
- 13:51certain, you know, political candidates that want certain
- 13:54things. Things, right?
- 13:56So anyways, very interesting how that works out.
- 13:58But Opti, let's talk about some Health Care, Bitcoin and Health
- 14:01Care. During the cultures do this?
- 14:05The daily culture brought to you by Swan Bitcoin.com, Swan is the

- 14:24dollar cost averaging. What do you waiting for visit
- 14:27Swan Bitcoin.com today. All right guys before we get to
- 14:31the culture, I want to give a shout out to Pacific Bitcoin.
- 14:33It's in seven. Days and 21 hours, 29 minutes
- 14:36and five seconds after get your tickets.

- 14:52Bitcoin from the Pacific Bitcoin Swan Dome.
- 14:56You're not going to want to miss this Bitcoin celebration.
- 14:58You can take advantage of the promo code.
- 15:00Like I said, all caps simply to get a major discount to your
- 15:04Pacific Bitcoin tickets. Perfect guys.
- 15:08Well, we're mixing this up a little bit.
- 15:11I got the culture first and we got Andy here from joint crowd
- 15:15house. So, Andy, just, I think, let's
- 15:18just do a started off with what exactly is joining crowd health.
- 15:21And as you guys can see on the YouTube show, we have joined
- 15:24crowd health.com here. So let the people out there that
- 15:27aren't familiar with what you're doing.
- 15:28What exactly is your company? Yeah, man, we know we hate her.
- 15:34Insurance. I'm assuming there's lots of
- 15:36listeners out there that hate health insurance as well as
- 15:39well, you know, I think health insurance is just an extension
- 15:42of Fiat. And so we wanted to do something
- 15:45different. Like how do we create Health
- 15:46Care, Freedom, as opposed to being, you know, controlled by
- 15:51health insurance plans that can tell our doctor, what they can
- 15:53do, what they can't do, they can pay think some things, they can
- 15:57not pay other things. And so we set out to do is
- 16:00create a set of tools so that people can pay for their
- 16:03Healthcare. Fences without having health
- 16:05insurance. So outside of the health
- 16:06insurance system in our little saying is opt out of health
- 16:10insurance. And mechanically the way that
- 16:12this works is, you know, instead of sending money, your premiums
- 16:14every month to a health insurance company.
- 16:16We open an account for you, you put 175 bucks in an account, we
- 16:21take $30 of that. And then the remaining 145
- 16:25accumulates over time and that money then can be used to help
- 16:29other people in the in the community.
- 16:31So if I, you know, broke my arm and it's 5:00, And I would go to
- 16:36the community and say, hey well, 50 people take a hundred bucks
- 16:40from that account that they've set up and send it to me so that
- 16:43I can then pay for that that bill directly.
- 16:47So it's more of a peer to peer sharing platform than it is a
- 16:51health insurance company. We've had twelve hundred bills
- 16:55thus far and we've paid every, we've crowdfunded every single
- 16:59one of them. So it's a super effective way of
- 17:02doing this, in addition to That we're getting about. 50% better
- 17:06prices, our members are getting 50% better prices than what
- 17:10health insurance plans are paying.
- 17:11So, we actually think, as individuals, we have better
- 17:15power, more power to negotiate with these big Hospital systems
- 17:19than United Healthcare, which is the sixth or seventh largest,
- 17:22you know, company on the planet in terms of Revenue.
- 17:24So it's all about taking your health care.
- 17:25Freedom back and ridden yourselves of health insurance
- 17:29plans. And this is all about, you know,
- 17:31in this is all about what this revolution is about, right?
- 17:34Revolution is about personal responsibility, whether it's
- 17:36individuals, taking back their financial sovereignty.
- 17:39Through via Bitcoin, there's individuals taking back their
- 17:42food sovereignty through the beef initiative, whether it's
- 17:45individuals taking back, their Healthcare sovereignty through
- 17:48crowd health. So Andy, I know that you guys
- 17:50sponsor a lot of Bitcoin podcast, where does Bitcoin fit
- 17:55into all this and just buy what you started with sounded a
- 17:59little. I heard a lot of Bitcoin ethos
- 18:01in there. Hmm.
- 18:02I'm a Bitcoin fan. I was, I Is orange pilled bye
- 18:05bye. Jimmy song.
- 18:06I'm sure most of, you know, you know, Jimmy, I'm a friend of his
- 18:10and so, you know, what happens here, when you send your, you're
- 18:13in the Fiat system if you send your money to a health insurance
- 18:16company, they hold it in this, this big account of melting
- 18:20Fiat, right? They invest that money, they get
- 18:24the benefit of it that investment, not you.
- 18:27And so we thought like, you know, instead of holding all
- 18:29this money in a big pot of Fiat, why don't we decentralize this?
- 18:34Allow people to hold their money in Bitcoin as opposed to Fiat.
- 18:39And so then all the upside of that Bitcoin is actually our
- 18:42members. It's you get the upside of that.
- 18:45So we're at 20,000 today of Bitcoin goes to 100,000 and you
- 18:49have you know, thousands of dollars of Bitcoin in your
- 18:51account. And you know so it's appreciates
- 18:545x, you get all of that upside. So you're stacking SATs while
- 18:58also you know, allowing your your you and your family to pay
- 19:02for healthcare more effectively. So So instead of holding in, you
- 19:05know, in Fiat, we allow people to hold that in Bitcoin and get
- 19:09the upside. Yeah.
- 19:10So what are what are the downsides to the system?
- 19:13Because there's always pros and cons to everything what are the
- 19:15pros? What are the cons to crowd
- 19:18Health? Yeah, you know we so you can
- 19:21look at this two different ways, right?
- 19:22Like I think a pro is it forces us to have a little bit more of
- 19:26a low time, preference approach to life, you know, the way that
- 19:29we have health insurance right now is we have this little card,
- 19:32we give it to the doctor. We don't have to worry about it
- 19:35until a bill comes in the mail, right?
- 19:37And so it's easy now. But for longer term pain,
- 19:40because 20% of the time that bill comes in the mail, it's
- 19:44because your health plan has actually set notes, your claim
- 19:48as has declined to pay for your claim.
- 19:51So you know, the idea of this company came to me because I had
- 19:54an eight thousand dollar bill for my daughter and she had a
- 19:58hole in her ear drum and so 15-minute procedure, eight
- 20:03thousand dollars. Hours and the health insurance
- 20:05company said. I'm not paying for it because as
- 20:07medically. Unnecessary, Mike, Mike, dude,
- 20:09she's got a hole in her ear drum and that's medically
- 20:11unnecessary. So I had to wrote write an eight
- 20:13thousand dollar check to the local hospital, right?
- 20:16And so, you know what, we force people to do is do a little bit
- 20:19of more work upfront, right? And so, you know, if you have a
- 20:23big expensive procedure, we ask that you call us.
- 20:27We'll negotiate that rate for you to participate fully getting
- 20:3160 or 70 percent better rates on.
- 20:34As pre-scheduled things. And so it takes a little bit
- 20:38more from you, but it saves you a lot of money because we're,
- 20:42you know, 50% less than going to healthcare.gov and you don't
- 20:47have a health insurance plan in the government getting in your
- 20:49Healthcare business. So it's a bit more of a low
- 20:51time. Preference approach to health
- 20:53care. If you want to High Time
- 20:55preference approach, go to somewhere else can be as we just
- 20:57don't think that's the right way to do this.
- 21:00Absolutely Opti, perfect segue because I got this tweet, That I
- 21:04found on your Twitter and it says, if you don't trust the
- 21:07government with your money, then why trust them with your health
- 21:10care? And I think you just touched on
- 21:11this but maybe you want to elaborate a little more on this
- 21:13for the people that are still on the fence.
- 21:16Sure, you know, the one thing that so we're in November, we're
- 21:20starting open enrollment here and open enrollment for those
- 21:22who don't know, is like vast majority of people in our
- 21:25country are deciding on their health insurance, over the next
- 21:27couple of months for next year. And so you could go to
- 21:30healthcare.gov, which is an Obamacare.
- 21:34You initiated thing from, you know, 10 or 12 years ago.
- 21:38So, you know you're going into Obamacare and you're saying,
- 21:41hey, I'm going to sign up for one of these plans that has been
- 21:44regulated by the government to do certain things with my
- 21:47health, right? And so it's like man I don't
- 21:50prop up, you know, this Obama care system and instead opted
- 21:54out of that and take personal responsibility for your health
- 21:57as opposed to insurance plan which is you know, Brighton bed
- 22:00with with the United States government.
- 22:02So that's why I said, hey You don't trust her money you know
- 22:05with the government if you don't trust the government with your
- 22:07money which I don't then why are you trusting your health care?
- 22:11I don't I trust me and my doctor to make the decisions on my
- 22:13health care and not the government and in the big health
- 22:16insurance company. So I'm going to, I'm going to
- 22:18play Devil's Advocate on that a little bit.
- 22:19Uh good. Yeah, The Devil's Advocate would
- 22:21say but Obamacare you know provides these very cheap.
- 22:26Premium course, there's a cost to that the cost of the premiums
- 22:29for everybody else. Just went through the freaking
- 22:31roof if you haven't been paying attention.
- 22:33Yeah. But The Advocates would say look
- 22:36it gave and ensured all these people that normally they would
- 22:40not be able to afford it. What?
- 22:41So what would be your response to that?
- 22:45Yeah, we're ours. Is ours is Affordable.
- 22:47I mean, it's 175 bucks a month of your, you know, under 55.
- 22:51I think it's super affordable. You know, that's how much you
- 22:55pay for your, your cell phone coverage every day or every
- 22:58month, you know, your cell phone coverage plus, you know, a
- 23:00couple coffees at Starbucks and so it's it's super affordable.
- 23:03I think that, you know what we want to do is offer this to you
- 23:07know to everybody to get every what we do our number one
- 23:10customer right now is somebody who has been uninsured because
- 23:13the health plans that Options out there suck.
- 23:16And so now they want to jump over to us.
- 23:18So you know if you go to healthcare.gov my family, my
- 23:21family of four will pay about thirteen hundred dollars a month
- 23:24so this is Obamacare, thirteen hundred dollars a month and it
- 23:27would probably be somewhere between eight and ten thousand
- 23:29dollar deductible which means that I have to pay eight to ten
- 23:33thousand dollars. He plus you know thirteen or
- 23:36fourteen, hundred bucks a month. So what is that?
- 23:38You know, which is say that 27 or 28 thousand dollars before
- 23:41the health insurance plan pays a dollar that To me is not
- 23:45affordable. And in fact, what's happened
- 23:47with with Obamacare is these deductibles have gone up and we
- 23:52had 250,000 people with health insurance last year when
- 23:56bankrupt due to a health event. Like, that's that's not
- 23:59affordable, right? Like, you know, people are
- 24:01looking at this as really affordable premiums if you know,
- 24:061200 bucks or 1,300 bucks is Affordable.
- 24:08But then they have a health event and they're like, holy
- 24:10crap. Like now I have to come up with
- 24:13eight or ten thousand dollars to cover.
- 24:14That and it's like I say, if you don't have, you know, the
- 24:18deductible amount in cash in your bank, like you don't
- 24:22actually have health insurance because that's going to put you
- 24:24in a significant financial situation.
- 24:27You don't have that with crowd Health, right?
- 24:29So 250,000 families went bankrupt last year.
- 24:32I mean it's absurd. It's freaking crazy Opti,
- 24:35amazing. Well I just I added an article
- 24:39here. I want to talk about something
- 24:40else but it's touching on what Andy said and you retweeted this
- 24:43on your Twitter. So There's some, there's some
- 24:45homework for you guys in the description, but the tweet for
- 24:48those in the spaces, goes America's Health Care system has
- 24:50evolved into an insurance run government, dictated
- 24:53bureaucratic racket. That works for everyone except
- 24:56patients and doctors. The answer is not more
- 24:58government. The answer is Health Care
- 25:00freedom and you got, you got a really good article right here,
- 25:04that people could definitely read but I really want to get
- 25:07into another topic right here and it's on the food pyramid.
- 25:12I've been diving into the Food pyramid is I became a Bitcoin ER
- 25:17and you essentially been dunking on the food pyramid all over
- 25:21Twitter and I absolutely love it because it amazes me that people
- 25:26are still missing formed out there and I said all the time on
- 25:29this show I said all the time in our spaces as bitcoiners.
- 25:32What we really need to do is survive and to ensure that we
- 25:35are ushering the SATs into the future and I say it like I'm a
- 25:39broken record like Fit Body fit, mine fits soul and I think it
- 25:43starts with the Of what exactly is going on with the food
- 25:46pyramid. And, and furthermore, that like
- 25:48the food pyramid is, it's a scam guys.
- 25:51I mean, hey my words, but Andy jump in.
- 25:54What's your thoughts on the food pyramid?
- 25:56Yes. Ashley garbage.
- 25:58Its total garbage, you know, and I've been, I'm 43 and remember,
- 26:02you know, reading about this or watching this is that thing in
- 26:05kindergarten. I remember that food pyramid
- 26:06being on the wall. I look back that I'm like, holy
- 26:09crap, like, no wonder, you know, the United States has twice as
- 26:14many These people, you know, per capita is anybody else on the
- 26:17planet? It's like bz.
- 26:19Follow the fact that Breads and pastas and, you know, Cheerios
- 26:24should be the base of our diet. Whereas you know, animal
- 26:28proteins are way up at the top and in reality what you should
- 26:30do is chop sugar off and inverse it.
- 26:34You know, they've got this exactly flipped the way that we
- 26:37should be. And it's been proven over and
- 26:39over and over again. It's just the problem is that
- 26:40people aren't willing to say, you know what, I was wrong.
- 26:42I was wrong about what we've taught for the last Last 40 or
- 26:4550 years, maybe even longer than that.
- 26:47Right? And so we've got an issue here
- 26:49and you know, unfortunately it's penetrated our medical community
- 26:53to like our medical community is looking at this and saying, oh
- 26:55well you know cholesterol is the primary driver of heart attacks
- 26:58and so you shouldn't be having too much, animal protein and all
- 27:01the kind of things that studies have come out and said that's
- 27:03just not true. Like that's just not the case.
- 27:06And so, you know, statins would to lower your cholesterol is one
- 27:10of the most profitable drugs ever to exist, you know?
- 27:14Actually looked at it this morning, so real quick, I got my
- 27:18labs a few weeks ago and I've tweeted this on Twitter to as my
- 27:21my LDL cholesterol. My bad cholesterol is through
- 27:24the roof, it's like 180 or something like that, it should
- 27:27be like a hundred. And so our society is telling us
- 27:31that, oh, you need to get on statins to lower that those
- 27:34levels, but if you actually do research into this, 77% of the
- 27:38people who had heart attacks, didn't have high cholesterol.
- 27:43And so you know, our American Can College of Cardiology
- 27:46cardiologist and American Heart Association.
- 27:48Haven't come around to all these studies.
- 27:50Actually says, this is wrong. I don't know what the motive is,
- 27:54but I'm telling you, the pharmaceutical companies making
- 27:56statins are making a boatload and what are the side effects of
- 28:00statins. They make your brain foggy.
- 28:03I saw one this morning is, like, erectile dysfunction, like all
- 28:06these things and I'm like, hell, no, I'm not eating, you know,
- 28:08putting that stuff in my body. I'm going to figure this out,
- 28:11you know, a different way. So there's this whole medical
- 28:14Industrial. Complex is what I call it that I
- 28:17think is dictating what we're doing and Healthcare and it's
- 28:21way more focused on selling Pharma getting, you know, these
- 28:25people elected to Congress and Senate and weigh less on the the
- 28:30safety, I believe the safety of the American public and the
- 28:33well-being of the American public.
- 28:34So, you know, that's, that's my big issue with the food pyramid
- 28:37and it's making us obese, and that obesity is having a major
- 28:41impact on our health care costs, which you know, is Our number
- 28:45one expense in the federal budget.
- 28:47So it's really kind of a circular thing here, that one
- 28:51affects the next, which affects the next and it affects, you
- 28:53know, bitcoiners in the money supply.
- 28:55Right. So it is a passion of mine to
- 28:58kind of flush this out. Yeah.
- 29:01And we're going to have Rihanna continue to have, you know,
- 29:03guess like and the guess like Texas, slim.
- 29:05Because a guy's at the end of the day, this is about taking
- 29:08back personal responsibility. Stop Outsourcing that personal
- 29:11responsibility and aspects of your life, because if you out Or
- 29:14say what you're doing is you're Outsourcing it to the
- 29:17government. You're Outsourcing to this
- 29:18bureaucracy that you know, you could have given them the
- 29:21benefit of the doubt, you could have said, you know what, maybe
- 29:24this was a good idea, but the problem is that history has
- 29:26shown the exact opposite. They've they've used the
- 29:29Outsourcing of responsibility of individuals and they've used
- 29:32that to empower themselves benefit themselves and the
- 29:37benefit to individuals, right? It's not that great, right?
- 29:41So this is all about individuals taking back.
- 29:44Their sovereignty, even even if that's through food, if that's
- 29:48through money, if that's through Health, that's that's what all
- 29:51this is about. This is a big movement, right?
- 29:54You can't just focus on one and not the other.
- 29:57That's all with his about Opti. Could you say your line again?
- 30:00What toy unfit body fit. Mind, fits all.
- 30:03And, and just a double down before we move on, guys, it as a
- 30:07Bitcoin, it becomes very obvious that once they start lying about
- 30:10the lies that they perpetuated about the money, it opens up
- 30:13your eyes to all The other lies going on in the world and it's
- 30:17just it's a very, very intense experience to go down the rabbit
- 30:23hole of, wow, what is Fiat money?
- 30:26And then, what are these effects on Society at large you guys can
- 30:29go. Read the Fiat standard or you
- 30:30just go down these rabbit holes yourself, but we've been harping
- 30:34on this idea for a while. You guys need to ensure that
- 30:37your health is good because if you're not thinking correctly,
- 30:40if you're not eating correctly, how are you going to be able to
- 30:43usher in these Bitcoin? Because we are in an information
- 30:46war and they want you weak and dumb.
- 30:48And so we got to make sure that we take back our health as we
- 30:51are taking back our money. Amen, to that.
- 30:54All right, guys, let's get to the news.
- 30:58The Daily News brought to you by bit box to bitcoin only
- 31:02additional Hardware wallet by shift crypto crypto like
- 31:05cryptography. It's secure, it's open source
- 31:08and it's so easy, your mom can set it up.
- 31:10Self custody is the revolution in the bit box.
- 31:14Makes it simple, do not leave your Bitcoin on an exchange
- 31:17order. A bit box today.
- 31:20Alright so this is the big news. Edward Snowden on Bitcoins
- 31:25birthday. Ready to eat it out.
- 31:26White papers and 14 years ago yet.
- 31:28So 14 years ago today yet Satoshi remains Anonymous
- 31:32remarkable. And of course we have Craig,
- 31:35right? I was never an honest, you
- 31:38traitor scum, it's interesting. You think Satoshi would say
- 31:41something like that? And what, what did Edward
- 31:44Snowden do at the end of the day?
- 31:45At the Edward, Edward Snowden did was that he leaked that the
- 31:51NSA and a lot of these, you know, again goes back to the
- 31:55government goes back to big government.
- 31:56Ament were using a lot of that technology.
- 31:58A lot of those tools to spy on American citizens without their
- 32:02knowledge and that led to this upheaval in the country and he
- 32:06still in asylum in Russia, right?
- 32:11Because he said that. And now that goes back to the
- 32:15also, very famous person. That was a silent in the
- 32:19Ecuadorian Embassy Julian Assange with Wikileaks, right?
- 32:23And he was exposing secrets about, The Iraq War.
- 32:27Now technically remember the first amendment guys, this is
- 32:32protected speech, right? Edward Snowden is kind of iffy
- 32:35because he was under contract with the US government.
- 32:39He may be perhaps signed a thing, right?
- 32:41But specifically Julian Assange or is really interesting, right?
- 32:46How if you can't have that journalistic, freedom to report
- 32:51on this stuff? It's like the example with the
- 32:53intercept, right? The internet's intercept leaks
- 32:55that the department of And security was working with social
- 32:58media companies to censor certain transaction and this all
- 33:02goes back to the same thing. If we're not allowed to speak
- 33:05freely, what makes you think you'll be allowed to use a money
- 33:11that they can't control and it goes back to the issue with Sam
- 33:14bank man in the video that we first played you guys during
- 33:17numbers, right? It's the same concept emails,
- 33:21okay? You can say anything you want
- 33:23with email but money. You know, somehow that has to be
- 33:26controlled, you know, even though we know and the Supreme
- 33:29Court actually confirmed this, that money is a form of
- 33:34protected speech, right? And this is the big battle of
- 33:37our time. This is what's going to
- 33:38culminate, right? It's I don't know what it's
- 33:40going to culminate into, but this is the big question people
- 33:44on one side want to get to get to dictate what you're allowed
- 33:47to say, what you're not allowed to say and want to wanted.
- 33:50Also dictate who you're allowed to transact with and who you're
- 33:53not allowed to transact with. The other people are saying the
- 33:56results of that system have failed us.
- 33:59They haven't worked. We haven't we conceded freedoms?
- 34:03We gave up freedoms, but we didn't benefit from giving up
- 34:06those freedoms in the first place.
- 34:08They lied and people died. Anyways.
- 34:12Craig Wright said I was never an optimist, you traitor scum and
- 34:16then Edward Snowden, just destroys them, that's the point.
- 34:19Brother. Remember, two weeks ago when the
- 34:21court affirmed that Hollow not calling you a pathetic scammer
- 34:24cringe, Clearly, mentally ill and repeatedly a fraud was okay
- 34:28and ordered you to pay like three hundred and forty eight
- 34:30thousand dollars laughing my ass off.
- 34:33Love this job, welcome to law. And I think that's something
- 34:36that Craig Wright has been saying for a while and hey while
- 34:38you're playing the memory game, the next time you want to tell
- 34:42Twitter, you were never Anonymous.
- 34:43Try and keep your story straight.
- 34:45You miserable corn? Calm dude, you can't even commit
- 34:50fraud properly. Just embarrassing.
- 34:52And let's take a look at the screen shot.
- 34:54His rights note on a stark. White background is all.
- 34:57That's left of the website e made public on Monday, which was
- 35:00filled with images of himself, looking thoughtful, along with
- 35:03several Bitcoin related blog posts.
- 35:05It reads in full, I'm sorry. I believed that I could do this.
- 35:09I believe that I could put the years of anonyme in hiding
- 35:12behind me, but as the events of this week unfolded and I
- 35:15prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I
- 35:18broke. I do not have the courage, I
- 35:20cannot and look and I'm going to take a neutral approach even
- 35:24though I know we A lot of bitcoiners watching this show
- 35:29and I know that there's a lot of Bitcoin cash people.
- 35:31That also watch this specific when we put Craig right in the
- 35:34title. Here's the reality.
- 35:36Okay. Hot Craig Wright was giving it
- 35:40was given the offer by a judge in the United States, a judge in
- 35:44the UK and a judge in, in Norway, all he had to do is
- 35:51cryptographically sign that. He actually had possession of
- 35:57those private keys and he still did not do that.
- 36:02What did it cost them? Go through this whole ordeal to
- 36:05prove that he's Satoshi that when proof comes to shove, when
- 36:09you actually can prove that you do own addresses that are
- 36:14associated with, so she never did that, right?
- 36:18So I'm just glad that he's just getting owned once again and the
- 36:21Public Square of Twitter. This is why Twitter.
- 36:24So, Poured it and he was never able to respond to Hot or Not.
- 36:29So is he just keeping up that facade?
- 36:31Like I am Satoshi. Believe me take my word for it.
- 36:35I'm glad that he lost that case man.
- 36:37That I'm really glad that he lost that case because now the
- 36:41like I've been saying over these last couple of weeks, guys,
- 36:43three, judges and three different jurisdictions won.
- 36:47Florida in the Kleinman case, one in the UK and the Peter
- 36:51McCormack case. And now in Norway, have all said
- 36:54the same The same thing. Craig Wright misrepresented to
- 36:58misrepresented himself and he lied right?
- 37:02Re judge is not coming from Simply Bitcoin, that's what they
- 37:05said, take it up with them, that's not what we're saying.
- 37:08That's what they said. We're just reporting on it.
- 37:11Anyways. Abdi, what are your thoughts,
- 37:12bro? And then we move on to Andy.
- 37:14Well, my thoughts is really like just wow, you know, like csw
- 37:19can't even keep his fraudulent narcissistic lies in place and
- 37:23he's Over the place like he just makes up lies.
- 37:26As he goes, he's completely gone off the rails.
- 37:30And this isn't the only example that I've seen in this last week
- 37:33of him just being Dunked On by the original words of Satoshi,
- 37:38that we all know is actually Satoshi.
- 37:40And, and he just getting caught in these traps on Twitter where
- 37:43he's just going bananas and just like just again, just going
- 37:49completely off the rails and and making stuff up, and then people
- 37:52use satoshi's original words against him.
- 37:54Um, and you know, shouts out to Edward Snowden is just
- 37:57hilarious. You know, when it comes from
- 37:58someone like Edward Snowden, obviously, it has a little more
- 38:01punch than when it comes from Simply Bitcoin.
- 38:03But on another point, I just can't wait till we put this all
- 38:07behind us and we and we stop giving him airtime because he's
- 38:10becoming a lot more irrelevant and I'm, you know, I'm just here
- 38:13to see that day when we no longer have to talk about him.
- 38:18Yeah. Andy, what are your thoughts on
- 38:20this, bro? On the Saga?
- 38:22No, I mean, if you look at those stats, Tweets.
- 38:25Right. And stowed in got, you know,
- 38:27tens of thousands of likes. I think.
- 38:29And I think Craig Wright got like 200 likes.
- 38:33It was like, you know, how I can get 200 likes on a tweet in
- 38:36Craig Wright, gets 200 like something on it.
- 38:38Sweet. Yeah, I think he's, it's
- 38:40irrelevant, you know. It's like the the biggest
- 38:43advocate of proof of work. Can't show proof of work and
- 38:45it's pretty clear that this guy's, you know, a goofball and
- 38:50so Craig, you know, sue me for calling you a goofball.
- 38:54But, you know, clearly he's just ridiculous.
- 38:58We should we should forget about him and never mention his name
- 39:00again. Yeah, man.
- 39:02It's so ridiculous. And look the person that says he
- 39:07is Satoshi is also using law fair to silence dissenting
- 39:11speech which is completely against with how Bitcoin Works,
- 39:15what Bitcoin represents in the Bitcoin ethos, right.
- 39:18So I just think that's a little hypocritical as well.
- 39:23We know that he has a powerful Due to Calvin re who's part of
- 39:26the whole, you know thing, but hopefully because of these three
- 39:30cases specifically in the Norway case, right?
- 39:33That makes it very that will make it more difficult for him
- 39:37to go for him to use law. Fair to go after his political
- 39:42opponents. Anyways, moving on and I want
- 39:44him to sue me actually. What would be, what would I have
- 39:46to say for him to sue me? Because that would be the best
- 39:49advertising. I think I could ever get for
- 39:51crowd health. So Craig, if you're out there,
- 39:53please sue me. Because I'd love to I'd love to,
- 39:56I'd love to do this, but my understanding it becomes a
- 39:59little bit difficult for American citizens to be sued on
- 40:03the grounds of speech. We know that he's used
- 40:07specifically the libel laws in the United in the United
- 40:10Kingdom, which have been known to be abused.
- 40:12Actually, they've been abused to such an extent that the Obama
- 40:15administration had to pass a law in the United States,
- 40:18specifically to protect American citizens from that law.
- 40:23So that's my Standing of it. But of course, I'm also not a
- 40:26lawyer anyways, moving on to this.
- 40:29I think this is also some very big news as well and some signal
- 40:33in here. I'm going to connect it also
- 40:34with the amazing article that Alex gladstein wrote, Because
- 40:38it's actually where we're witnessing.
- 40:40We're witnessing play and full-time.
- 40:42We're witnessing this play out in full time.
- 40:44The name of the article is called Bitcoin as a trojan,
- 40:46horse for freedom and I think that's exactly what you're
- 40:48seeing here. Bitcoins irresistible
- 40:51incentives. In the case of Iran and Russia
- 40:54it's the The censorship resistant incentives.
- 40:57Of course the number go up. Incentives are also irresistible
- 41:00the name of the Articles. New mining Bill permitting,
- 41:03cross-border crypto pay payments filed and Russian Parliament.
- 41:07A draft law designed to regulate the mining of digital coins in
- 41:10Russia. Is also legalizing, the use of
- 41:12cryptocurrencies in international settlements.
- 41:15It has been submitted to the Russian Parliament after the
- 41:17rejection of an earlier bill, which was a lie, which is aiming
- 41:20to allow domestic crypto payments as well.
- 41:22Now that's a little bit of signal there anyways.
- 41:24On to say Russian lawmakers were reviewing you legislative
- 41:27proposal for the legalization of crypto mining which has been a
- 41:30significant which has seen significant growth over the past
- 41:32few years. I love that more hash rate not
- 41:36in the United States more hash tree and Iran more hash rate in
- 41:39Russia, more hatchery in Venezuela.
- 41:41We want that we want that judicial Arbitrage announcing
- 41:43the filing of the bill on Sputnik radio, the chairman of
- 41:47the Parliamentary Financial Market Committee.
- 41:49And totally asked 0f pointed out that the document authorizes the
- 41:53use of cryptocurrencies As a mean of paint, That's the
- 41:56signal, their pay attention. The document also authorizes,
- 42:00the use of currencies as a means of payment outside.
- 42:03The country, to quote asked Ralph.
- 42:05He said, we have introduced a bill that legalizes mining that
- 42:08is the issuance and circulation of cryptocurrencies, but
- 42:11cryptocurrencies can only be employed as a means of payment
- 42:15outside of our country, in foreign jurisdictions, right?
- 42:18So it's interesting how that works.
- 42:19It's like, we want to benefit from Bitcoin censorship
- 42:23resistant, but as long As the people of Russia, don't benefit
- 42:26directly because in the people of Russia, going to start acting
- 42:29opting out of our fiat currency and then that would take power
- 42:32away from us. It's interesting how that works.
- 42:34And he was just says sanctions pressure is have increased
- 42:37support for the idea of Permitting cross-border crypto
- 42:39payments but most government institutions in Moscow, remain
- 42:42opposed to the legalization of payments with Bitcoin and the
- 42:45like inside the Russian Federation, another mining Bill
- 42:48put forward by the liberal new people faction was rejected as
- 42:51it provided for the legalization of domestic crypto payments.
- 42:54Now Now keep all of this. What I said right Russia you're
- 42:58the bullet points. Russia legalizes Bitcoin mining
- 43:01incentives. Russia legalizes officially
- 43:05Bitcoin for cross-border payments.
- 43:08I suspect that's due to us sanctions policy.
- 43:11But internally. They say no.
- 43:12No, no we can't have that. Now the reason that's not going
- 43:15to work and I think Alex gladstein does it explains it
- 43:18perfectly? Well in this amazing article is
- 43:19called Bitcoin as a trojan horse for Freedom.
- 43:22I'll get to it. Let me read some of the Articles
- 43:23as the Didn't horse has been popularized in computer.
- 43:26Science is a malicious program disguises, a helpful update, but
- 43:29is also an effective metaphor for how people how Bitcoin
- 43:32stealthily coops actors? Who do not care about or do not
- 43:36like freedom to promote It. Anyway, the me gains with
- 43:39wealthy individuals corporations and soon, government's, my new
- 43:43government's already here. This was written September. 20
- 43:4521, right? We know I'll Salvador is already
- 43:49the jump and already on the bus Which see Bitcoin is glittering
- 43:52gold out of self-preservation. In greed, they are incentivized
- 43:55to buy my that's already happened, right?
- 43:58You sure did in the bill but I mind and one day tax, this new
- 44:02prize to accommodate the soundest money and gain an
- 44:05advantage over their Rivals. What are you seeing there?
- 44:08Why are they doing this right? They legalizing Bitcoin for
- 44:11international settlements. They're trying to gain advantage
- 44:13over the United States because the u.s. gets a tremendous
- 44:16amount of power via weaponizing the dollar and because the
- 44:19dollars the global Reserve currency, that's the currency
- 44:22that's most used to facilitate in National trade.
- 44:25So Russia is trying to find a way to circumvent that has
- 44:28Bitcoin does. After all on its exterior looks
- 44:30very appealing, it is the best performing financial asset in
- 44:33the world over the last 12 years.
- 44:35But Bitcoin is not just number. Go up technology hidden behind
- 44:38the eye. Eye popping Gaines is a powerful
- 44:41Freedom. Go up technology that its new
- 44:43adopters are knowingly or not pushing forward number, go up
- 44:48and freedom go up are inextricable.
- 44:51Bitcoin is decentralized, digital cast and not emerge.
- 44:54Copied combination, your, but rather was the Holy Grail of
- 44:58cyberpunks. A group of sip Advocates,
- 45:00concerned about how personal freedoms could survive, the
- 45:02great electronic transformation of society.
- 45:04Their goals was to separate money from governments and
- 45:06corporations and check the growth of the global
- 45:08surveillance State and preserve human rights in an increasingly
- 45:11digital Aid. Satoshi, nakamoto's great is
- 45:14Trick was to animate these aspirations into something that
- 45:18looks like and functions as digital gold.
- 45:20So, while yes, it was anyone regardless of their nationality,
- 45:23status wealth, Bender racer beliefs access to the best
- 45:27savings technology on the planet.
- 45:29It also gives them Unstoppable, programmable money, that cannot
- 45:32be debased or censored. And that fight, surveillance and
- 45:34confiscation dissidents democracy protesters opposition
- 45:38leaders. Independent, journalists
- 45:40worldwide are beginning to realize this, from Minsk to
- 45:42Lagos to Los Angeles, to Buenos Aires, be pretty words about
- 45:45human rights. But when they get down, down to
- 45:48brass tacks, the plaited side as a reminder of this cold reality
- 45:51referred to the dictators of the UN on human.
- 45:54Rights Council or the financial action, task force, the list of
- 45:57household corporate name, sponsoring the 22 2022 genocide
- 46:01Olympics, or the roster of Wall Street icons, who attend, Saudi
- 46:05Arabia's Davos in the desert as human rights activist.
- 46:08No, well, it can be hard to effectively promote free them in
- 46:12a society that willingly sells morals out for profit Bitcoin,
- 46:16sneaks in and rewires the system from the inside.
- 46:19Aligning profit-seeking with permission list Financial
- 46:23stability. Liberation.
- 46:25And that's the beauty of all this, right?
- 46:28The incentives and the benefits of Bitcoin are irresistible.
- 46:32So they let the Trojan Horse in the gate because they want to
- 46:35benefit from it. But would Alex pointed out.
- 46:38So perfectly is that you can't separate the number go up from
- 46:42the freedom go up. So once these governments take
- 46:45that pill, they're exposing their populations, their
- 46:49citizens to this idea of like, wait a second, so I could Save
- 46:55and earn, and get paid in a currency that you can't control.
- 46:58You can't debase, you can't censor.
- 47:01Why exactly, am I using this Fiat?
- 47:04Why am I using this government currency?
- 47:06And that's the beauty of it. That's Bitcoins incentives.
- 47:09And remember, we have better incentives and what they have
- 47:13left is coercion. My money is on the carrot and
- 47:17not the stick Opti. What are your thoughts on the
- 47:19move? On to, I love it.
- 47:20I love it. Agreed!
- 47:22Agreed on the first point. About the Russian news.
- 47:26It's you know we it's basically bitcoiners being right.
- 47:29Once again, you know, Bitcoin game theory is playing out in
- 47:32real time, but also I think that point that you pointed out of
- 47:36how nefarious the parasite bureaucrat class really is, is,
- 47:39they don't want their citizens to use Bitcoin but they can use
- 47:42it for cross-border payments. It's just a meme, you know,
- 47:45rules for the you but not for me.
- 47:47But to your point of Bitcoin is the Trojan Horse for freedom and
- 47:50we say it all the time that Bitcoin changes you you don't
- 47:53change Bitcoin. And once you hold Bitcoin, you
- 47:56start to ask simple questions. Like, why am I being forced to
- 47:58use a money that's designed to steal from me?
- 48:00And why am I not to Trends act freely with people?
- 48:03When I am supposedly in a free country?
- 48:05You when I'm, when I'm not doing anything by criminal standards,
- 48:09I'm not breaking any laws. Why am I being coerced to use
- 48:13this money? That is not benefiting me in my
- 48:16family. Like these are very simple
- 48:17questions that. I think we all need to be asking
- 48:19people because Bitcoin fundamentally shows the flaws in
- 48:24the system. System.
- 48:24And as we sell the time, you know, number goes up.
- 48:27Brings Freedom goes up with it because, hey, I can only really
- 48:30speak for myself. But as I've learned about
- 48:33Bitcoin, I have become way more freedom minded.
- 48:36I become way more interested in ruling my own destiny going
- 48:41forward. And I think that if it can
- 48:42happen for me, it can happen for everyone out there.
- 48:45As long as they still have a brain.
- 48:46As long as they're still thinking critically Bitcoin will
- 48:49change the world, and we're seeing it happen in real time at
- 48:52Breakneck speeds. And again, I say it all the
- 48:54time, like it's just awesome to be on the front lines and be
- 48:57able to cover this stuff because like we have front row seats and
- 49:00all you bitcoiners out there also have front row seats and
- 49:03we're the Frontline soldiers continuing to spread the signal.
- 49:06So we got to just continue to counter this stuff.
- 49:09And also spread the good stories about like what Alex is saying,
- 49:13you know, like humans latch onto storytelling abilities and if we
- 49:17can frame Bitcoin in such a way, will people understand what we
- 49:21know to be true? Number goes up, brings more
- 49:23freedom. And then what Freedom brings to
- 49:25society, we don't even know what those effects will because we've
- 49:28never seen it. And that's just a beautiful
- 49:30bright future that I think Bitcoin will Usher in.
- 49:35Amen to that. Andy?
- 49:36What are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean I'm probably one of
- 49:39the newer ones to bitcoin here. I've only been in for a couple
- 49:41of years now, maybe maybe almost three years but you know one of
- 49:44the things I love being about a part of this community is just
- 49:47the curiosity. Like people just have just this
- 49:49curious nature about them and start questioning things that
- 49:53other people just take as fact. And and I think it really is a
- 49:58return to critical thinking which is you know a lost Um,
- 50:04kind of back to to Sam. And the, the opening of the of
- 50:07the show like, where is The Logical thinking here?
- 50:10It's spaghetti logic, that has been widely accepted in our
- 50:13culture and I love the bitcoiners because they're
- 50:15actually into knowing what? What is truth, what is truth?
- 50:19And let's and actually be curious about that truth.
- 50:21And so I am all all bought into Alex's thing and it's like man
- 50:26if we can get Bitcoin into Russia and actually actually get
- 50:28them using Bitcoin within within the Russian economy.
- 50:31I think that's step. Number one of getting them.
- 50:33The freedom of 100%. I agree with you.
- 50:37And that thing about bitcoiners seeking true, it makes sense,
- 50:41right? Because Fiat is not anchored to
- 50:43truth Beyond his lies, but if you see the unit of account of
- 50:48bitcoiners, it's anchored to the truth via proof-of-work.
- 50:51Right? Bitcoin is anchored to reality.
- 50:55That's what makes it unique and I think that change to borrow
- 50:58would seek a always says that change in operating system makes
- 51:02you seek truth. The world.
- 51:04It makes you think differently. It makes you Max Keiser.
- 51:07Has that amazing quote you don't change Bitcoin, Bitcoin changes
- 51:11you, right? And if we get the World to
- 51:14Change this operating system and now all of a sudden they are
- 51:17optimistic about the future rather than nihilistic about the
- 51:21future. Which is what I think Fiat
- 51:22currencies due to human beings. Man, I can't that world.
- 51:27I am so excited for record eclipsing calls it.
- 51:29The bright orange future. I'm very pumped but anyways,
- 51:32let's get to the mean review. Let's do.
