Transcript
- 0:11Yo welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin live.
- 0:15Your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution
- 0:17code, breaking news, culture, Matic Warfare, we will be your
- 0:19guide through the separation of money and state guys crazy.
- 0:27It looks like the world is waking up to El.
- 0:30Salvador boy. Oh boy, do we have a montage for
- 0:34you guys? Today of different International
- 0:37media sources, all around the world.
- 0:39This was a video clip. From 9 bouquet, lays, Twitter
- 0:43account, and they're all, you know, they're all noticing El
- 0:46Salvador. And you know what, kind of
- 0:49because we connect the dots on this show, we don't just read
- 0:52the news, right? Connect the dots a little bit
- 0:54about what Max Keiser was saying about the theory of the case
- 0:58that we've been saying that. I don't think it's a coincidence
- 1:02that El Salvador has a government that is actually
- 1:07doing something for its people and they happen to be.
- 1:11The first country that adopted a Bitcoin standard.
- 1:17I don't think that's a coincidence but again, maybe
- 1:21it's too soon to tell. Maybe I'm seeing things that are
- 1:24not quite there but it sure does look like it.
- 1:29I mean that like think about it like that.
- 1:31That's really big coincidence if that were the case, right?
- 1:34So anyways, we're going to play this clip for you guys during
- 1:37the numbers segment. I'm really, I'm really excited
- 1:40for it as well. Well then some interesting news
- 1:44coming out Mississippi officially makes it which is
- 1:49like, it's so ridiculous to say this but Mississippi Mississippi
- 1:55officially passed a bill called the right to mine Bitcoin Bill
- 2:00and Missouri but it was a unanimous unanimous 12 to 0
- 2:05vote. So that's good and before I get
- 2:07to that, I want you guys to keep in mind what I said.
- 2:11About Salvador, right? I'm going to read you a quote
- 2:15from a must-read book from the sovereign individual and I think
- 2:19that's exactly what we're seeing today.
- 2:22So anyways, I'm going to pull it up.
- 2:23It says, governments will ultimately have little choice
- 2:26but to treat populations and territories, they serve more
- 2:29like customers and less in the way that organized criminals
- 2:33treat the victims of a Shakedown Racket.
- 2:36And I think, I think that's what we're seeing here.
- 2:40I think I'll Salvador is the first example or very obvious
- 2:44example of this transition into the information age and how the
- 2:50very relationship between the state and the individual is
- 2:55going to change. And I think it changes because
- 2:58the internet has disintermediated things and
- 3:02watching the powers-that-be fight or try to justify, you
- 3:07know, they want to continue Having that power in that
- 3:13influence of being those intermediaries.
- 3:16But now we have the technology where that's not the case and
- 3:19you're seeing them kind of, you know, whether it's in the, in
- 3:22the CBD seafront, which we're going to cover today, some news,
- 3:25from the bank of international settlements, shout out,
- 3:27Augustine Carson. It's all it all kind of
- 3:32represents the same and also Legacy Media, right?
- 3:34Legacy Media is like we are the information if it doesn't come
- 3:38from us it's actually disinformation, right?
- 3:40But The internet has disintermediated everything
- 3:43right, whether that's information.
- 3:45So, they've lost their Monopoly on information and whether
- 3:47that's money, right, intermediaries are no longer
- 3:50required. Bitcoin is peer-to-peer and that
- 3:53changes everything, right? And I think that's really what
- 3:56we're living through. And I think that that's why
- 3:59these things are happening the way they're happening.
- 4:03Anyways, I want to welcome on stage my awesome co-host, always
- 4:07optimistic every single day, he wakes up and he has a smile on
- 4:10his face. Don't update.
- 4:13Well, hey, I wake up just as crabby as everyone else.
- 4:16I need my coffee and then I'm good to go.
- 4:19I'm good to go, man. I'm excited.
- 4:21Where, you know, it's very interesting.
- 4:23I saw this clip actually yesterday and I kind of had the
- 4:27same idea. It blows my mind that you know
- 4:29we talk about things over here. I'm simply Bitcoin.
- 4:32And now we're starting to see other people and not only
- 4:36alternative news but on, you know, the corporate press
- 4:38talking about the same stuff that we're talking about.
- 4:40And it's just Kind of blowing my mind.
- 4:42So super excited to get the Neko Jones, take on this one and then
- 4:46in the culture we got a comment on stacking news and so I want
- 4:50to respond to that one and I'll probably I'll probably do a
- 4:53little tangent as well and do some ranting on it.
- 4:55But hey, you know, that's what we do here.
- 4:57And then also guys, before I go on, I will going to cover on the
- 5:01meme of you. We are doing a template Tuesday,

- 7:26scheme of things. Bitcoin is still a baby.
- 7:28Anyways, 9 bouquet lay posted a montage of different media,
- 7:32Outlets all around the world talking about El Salvador.
- 7:36I think they're noticing what is happening there.
- 7:39I think it's an inevitability that they realize that a lot of
- 7:43these things that are happening are due to something called the
- 7:47Bitcoin effect. Now, I know a lot of you guys
- 7:50would say look you're absolutely crazy and the reason I'm saying,
- 7:53I'm so So hell-bent on this idea that Bitcoin has definitely
- 7:57played a role psychologically is because I know what Bitcoin has
- 8:01done to my life individually and I know what it has done to the
- 8:05people to the lives of the people around them, right?
- 8:08When you change to a sound money standard, all of a sudden, your
- 8:11perception of the world completely changes and I think
- 8:15that's exactly what is happening here.
- 8:18And I think it's just a matter of time before people start
- 8:21asking questions like yes, 9 Kaylee great policies.
- 8:25You cannot deny it or you can undeniable at this point.
- 8:29But how much, how much does Bitcoin play into this?
- 8:33Is it a coincidence and I have this question for you guys, I
- 8:37would like to believe it's not, is it a coincidence that you
- 8:40know, the year that they made Bitcoin legal tender the GDP of
- 8:45El Salvador made a record growth of 10.3%, going back to the old
- 8:51going back to 1966 when they started.
- 8:53It's like seeing what the GDP of what the with the you know, the
- 8:57growth or you know the growth or or the growth or Shrink of, you
- 9:05know, Salvador since 1966. It I don't think it's a
- 9:09coincidence that they made a record number that never never
- 9:12has been higher since since 1968.
- 9:16I don't think it's a coincidence that that happened the same year
- 9:18or the year after that, they made Bitcoin legal tender.
- 9:21I don't think it's a coincidence that Name bouquet they managed
- 9:25to, you know, lower down the crime rate, you know, to to
- 9:29all-time lows, right? Well Salvador used to be one of
- 9:31the most dangerous planet dangerous countries on the face
- 9:34of Planet. I also don't think that's a
- 9:35coincidence, right? And again, I think that it's
- 9:39very hard to point out what the factors are.
- 9:41But after listening to Max Keiser, after really digging
- 9:45deep into my personal life and seeing very similar results like
- 9:51good results coming out. Of a nation state once they've
- 9:55adopted the Bitcoin standard, because it's not only a monetary
- 9:58standard, it's a mental, it's a mental attitude, your mental,
- 10:03your perception of the world changes.
- 10:05It's not a coincidence that Michael sailor, one of the
- 10:08websites that he has is Hope.com right?
- 10:12And I love how CK puts it, right, you change the operating
- 10:15system of yourself. When you move to a Bitcoin
- 10:18standard all of a sudden when you're on a deflationary
- 10:21currency, you have Ability and the hope to save for a better
- 10:27future. Now I know what that's done for
- 10:29me individually but I think what we're seeing right now, is it
- 10:32being done not only on a nation state level with nine, bouquet
- 10:36lie, but also in the public, the public company front with
- 10:39Michael sailor and microstrategy, right?
- 10:42And this is what makes me so excited about the next having
- 10:46because no matter what the the Legacy corporate media tries to
- 10:50spin this, they won't be able to spin this.
- 10:53It the Cults are going to be undeniable.
- 10:55And I'm very, very I'm so optimistic about more countries
- 10:59in the global South looking at El Salvador and saying, yo like
- 11:04that. Looks like a really good idea.
- 11:05Now of course Bitcoin isn't the only Factor but I would like to
- 11:09believe that. It definitely plays a major role
- 11:13in what's happening. Anyways, I'm going to play you
- 11:15guys the clip and then we'll talk about it.
- 11:18And it just would seem to be with all these gang members
- 11:21running around El Salvador. Just people don't feel safe.
- 11:24That's MS-13. Those guys are, they're not just
- 11:27regular gang members with those guys are ruthless broke their
- 11:30nuts. The total homicides have gone
- 11:33from nearly 7,000 to under 600. The daily homicide rate has gone
- 11:38from 18.2 to 1.8 and the homicides per 100,000,
- 11:43inhabitants has gone from 103 to 10.3.
- 11:47Literally one. Tenth of the former amount
- 11:50you're just just think about just take it out logically.
- 11:52If you're going to have a prison system, be your answer.
- 11:55Okay? For your criminal justice
- 11:57program been, in order to combat crime, you have to put the
- 12:02criminals in the prison. President Mikhail.
- 12:04He's doing a lot right now. I think that he truly is the
- 12:08only true future for Latin American Presidents executive
- 12:13leadership. Right now, El Salvador, tiny,
- 12:15little Central American country. Had the highest murder Her rate
- 12:18in the entire world. It is changing very fast though.
- 12:22I love this story. It's a miracle political program
- 12:25over the last couple of years. El Salvador's murder rate has
- 12:29plummeted. Scurry into El Salvador's.
- 12:31New Mega prison order to crouch down on the ground or pressing
- 12:35went rogue and Santana targets. What no Peking bank and
- 12:39criminality it for president Assad reunion.
- 12:42I Bucharest Chill mode, Central America, dish El Salvador, El

- 12:53somewhat order to enhance window the mega Jose Ivan.
- 12:57It knocks it in the chat area. So he put America
- 13:16on the Quanto show singing. Castle symbol.

- 14:07Nicaragua Colombia, Mexico Brazil.
- 14:09It was 0.05. I think Camille personas que El
- 14:23Que fuera Del país must be aligned to the America Latina
- 14:26registro in avilés the criminally that Anita meant
- 14:29about horse. Hello, Cassie file, this
- 14:31unprecedented convoluted. Política para poner.
- 14:34El of delinquent, STL criminal organization down the partisan
- 14:38in lot, more has 4K, you know, the immediate attended, our
- 14:42Vuelta lauritas president, The prices are low criminalists, es
- 14:49probablemente por que. No tiene la Bonita.
- 14:52Political officer Lowe is not available on top political SLO
- 14:56Porque, el propio, gobierno attack on follow con, El
- 14:59criminal organization. Dude, I mean I mean, what do you
- 15:05think Opti? But like dude, like to me it's
- 15:10just so obvious as a Bitcoin. ER, what's happening here?
- 15:15Right. It's so obvious. but you know
- 15:19people I think they're still contributing this, and of
- 15:22course, not trying to take away anything from 9, bouquet lie,
- 15:25but Maybe I'm maybe I'm completely wrong here.
- 15:32Maybe I'm reading this wrong. But it's too many coincidences,
- 15:38it's too many coincidences that the country that made Bitcoin
- 15:41legal tender first. And a roughly around the same
- 15:45time period. These are the results that it's
- 15:49getting, right? And then it kind of goes back to
- 15:52what we say about Bitcoin all the time.
- 15:55About, you know, with Fiat. The thing is that the incentives
- 15:59are not aligned between the political class the elite class
- 16:05and the population, right? And a lot of the political
- 16:08divisions that we see today and a lot of the things that we see
- 16:12today are due to that or do The misalignment of incentives.
- 16:17But what happens when you align those incentives?
- 16:21What happens when those incentives are aligned, right?
- 16:26And I think that's what's happening here and on a more
- 16:29bullish know, I think that The Bitcoin effect.
- 16:38Perhaps it's not visible to non bitcoiners today, but as time
- 16:43progresses, I think it's going to become undeniable what the
- 16:50what Bitcoin has done for El Salvador, in the people of El
- 16:55Salvador. I don't know, Opti, maybe, I'm
- 16:59reading way too into it. Maybe, you know, we do cover the
- 17:03news every single day. Maybe we're seeing things that
- 17:06are not quite there, but for me, at least, personally, it's very,
- 17:12very obvious. And now, the world is starting
- 17:16to notice the undeniable results as much as they try to spin it
- 17:22and they say, you know, this is against human rights and you
- 17:25could make that argument, that's a fair, you know.
- 17:27Fine, right? History has been littered with
- 17:29people that, you know, come in, they offer security and they
- 17:35take away Freedom, right? So I'm not going to head down
- 17:38that route, but if we just look at the results so far, you have
- 17:44the most popular president in Central America of a country
- 17:49that made Bitcoin legal tender, and he is delivering results.
- 17:54Roughly around the same time, you know, record record level,
- 18:00GDP growth complete, you know, complete complete, you know,
- 18:07decreasing the crime rate, the homicide rate to record lows.
- 18:11El Salvador went from the top of the list to now being near the
- 18:16very, very bottom, right. And fine.
- 18:21Maybe this is this, this data point is too isolated.
- 18:25Maybe you're like Nico, you're seeing things that are not
- 18:28there. But what if what if this happens
- 18:30again? What if this happens again,
- 18:33where another country adopts a Bitcoin standard and all of a
- 18:36sudden, the government is incentivize to work for the
- 18:41people. What happens then, right?
- 18:45When bitcoiners say, fix the money fix the world.
- 18:48I think a lot of people don't understand what the significance
- 18:52of aligned incentives and an entire society would do to that
- 18:57Society. I think People underestimate
- 19:00that and I truly believe that that's why we're seeing what
- 19:05we're seeing in El Salvador, we are seeing aligned in the result
- 19:11of aligned incentives. Anyways Abdi, what's what's your
- 19:15bid on this? And then we'll go with the news.
- 19:17Well first, I think we have to at least acknowledge that, maybe
- 19:21this is a little bit of confirmation bias on our side or
- 19:24as you say, you know, seeing what we want to see, but on the
- 19:28flip side, The Bitcoin signal is spreading and Bitcoin, put El
- 19:31Salvador in the map and El Salvador is putting Bitcoin on
- 19:34the map and you can't separate the two and so I would really
- 19:37like to see these broadcasters dig a bit deeper and ask, you
- 19:40know, what are the reasons for El Salvador's Improvement?
- 19:42Not only just putting people in jail but obviously one of the
- 19:45main reasons is them going on the Bitcoin standard and it all
- 19:49points back to bitcoin, you know, fiat currency has bad
- 19:52incentives. Like you or you were laying out
- 19:54and we've covered this on the show multiple times at the IMF
- 19:57and World bank's have bad incentives and they are
- 20:00pillaging these countries in the global South and Bitcoin fixes
- 20:04this and look what Bitcoin can do.
- 20:07Not only for the individual but for nation-states and I know
- 20:09before people start calling a status and all this stuff, it's
- 20:12like Bitcoin is for everyone and anyone that adopts the Bitcoin
- 20:17standard will have their lives improved.
- 20:19It's happened for countless of individuals and now we have our
- 20:23first data point, which is El Salvador, and that signal is
- 20:26spreading and as we covered This isn't just like a Bitcoin story.
- 20:30This is one of these. I, you know, human rights
- 20:33stories that is going global right now.
- 20:35So everyone is talking about this because hey, I don't know
- 20:39about you. But anytime I look at
- 20:41politicians for the most part, they aren't having real actual
- 20:44effects on their nation. And here, we have blue Kelly and
- 20:48his, you know, his office actually changing their country
- 20:52seemingly for the better. And of course, this is something
- 20:55that we are covering in real time and we will continue to
- 20:57cover but it Again this is all pointing back to what we talked
- 21:00about all point back to bitcoin. They wouldn't be on the map
- 21:04without the Bitcoin standard and now they have the result.
- 21:08So I know for a fact that the Bitcoins signal is spreading to
- 21:12other nations and other countries and more individuals
- 21:15are waking up to the idea. And all people have to do is dig
- 21:17a little deeper and wonder, like, how did they change the
- 21:21course of their Nation? Well, it kind of all boils back
- 21:25down and starts with Bitcoin, fix the money, fix the world.
- 21:28And the incentives of Bitcoin just continue to win and I just
- 21:32can't wait to see more people and more Nations and more
- 21:35companies and everyone started adopting Bitcoin.
- 21:38And this just this data point just continues to snowball and
- 21:41more people start to wake up that.
- 21:42Wow, Bitcoin really does make your life better and fixes
- 21:45everything that is wrong with the world.
- 21:47We have the solution and it is Bitcoin.
- 21:50We have this illusion is Bitcoin.
- 21:52Let's align those incentives. And I think society would be
- 21:54better off if we align those incentives.
- 21:57It shouldn't be Be that the very wealthy that have the means to
- 22:02save in assets. Therefore benefit from asset
- 22:05inflation. And then, of course, the
- 22:07government are the main benefactors from the Fiat money
- 22:11printer but the middle class and the lower class get screwed,
- 22:15right? And I think that if we when and
- 22:18if we move to a sound money standard, I think you're going
- 22:21to see the revitalization of the middle class and and also
- 22:26provide hope and opportunity. For the lower classes.
- 22:30Well right, we live in a world of misaligned incentives and I
- 22:34think El Salvador is this Shining Light Of Hope.
- 22:38Proving what happens when the incentives are aligned once
- 22:43again. Anyways, everybody let's get to
- 22:45the news. We have a lot to talk about.
- 22:50The Daily News brought to you by block stream.
- 22:53Jade built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners.

- 23:22custody of your Bitcoin. Alright everybody, so news
- 23:27coming out of Mississippi I love the fact that it was unanimous,
- 23:31right? So the right to mine Bitcoin
- 23:33Bill and Missouri as I said Missouri.
- 23:35Wow. So it's Mississippi and Missouri
- 23:36because I remember when coming out of Mississippi as well.
- 23:38Interesting. Interesting.
- 23:40And I'm gonna get to why I believe these bills are passing
- 23:44in the first place. I think.
- 23:47They're pre-emptive moves, right?
- 23:49And I and and you have again like if you just saw them and
- 23:52isolation I don't think they would make a lot of sense, but
- 23:54the fact that you see Missouri, you see Mississippi, you see
- 23:59Wyoming passing bills that protect either the right to
- 24:03mine, the right to self custody and the Wyoming bill is awesome
- 24:06because it protects, you know, the individuals private keys.
- 24:10I think the pre-emptive measures I think the writing's on the
- 24:13wall and the recent actions by By the federal government, Nick
- 24:18Carter wrote a great piece, which we've covered on the show,
- 24:21operation choke point 2.0, you know, they're clearly, they're
- 24:27taking a hostile stance. And I brought this up to Natalie
- 24:30smolinski, who came on the show simply Bitcoin IRL about about a
- 24:34week ago, roughly a week ago. And I asked her the question
- 24:38Point Blank. I said, you know, does it
- 24:39surprise you that the federal government is taking these
- 24:42actions? And she said, of course, it
- 24:43doesn't surprise surprise her. It makes sense.
- 24:46Why wouldn't I Sense. Like, if you have this Mo, if
- 24:49you have this privilege of being able to create money for free,
- 24:52that everyone has to work for, obviously, you're going to fight
- 24:55to maintain that privilege, right?
- 24:57The, you know, and that's a tremendous power for the
- 25:00government for the federal government, right?
- 25:01They could spend money, they don't have right?
- 25:04The, I always point to the deficit, spending the u.s.
- 25:07spends a trillion dollars more than it collects in tax revenue
- 25:11year after year, right? Even though it collects more in
- 25:13tax revenue year after year, right?
- 25:15Then, you know, you always hear the narrative from Auditions, we
- 25:17gotta raise the taxes. They collect more taxes every
- 25:20year. The government doesn't have a
- 25:22tax collecting problem, the government has a spending
- 25:25problem. And and again, it goes back to
- 25:27what we were talking about. El Salvador, right?
- 25:29This is misaligned incentives. If you had a money print you, if
- 25:33you had the power of the money printer, you know, would you be,
- 25:38would you have the self-control not to use that money printer,
- 25:42you know? And then, of course, and of
- 25:43course, like, think about think about the perception, right?
- 25:48The perception of of his, you can't say that these politicians
- 25:53are evil. You can't say that.
- 25:55I'm sure that they think that they're using this money printer
- 25:58for good, right? But of course, as bitcoiners of
- 26:01pointed out, it's like look this money isn't coming out of
- 26:04anyway, it's not coming out of thin air.
- 26:06Right? There's a consequence to
- 26:08printing money, right? And it's a wealth redistribution
- 26:10mechanism. It's taking from the people that
- 26:13save in cash that can afford to save and assets taking from them
- 26:17and it's giving it back to the government and it's giving you
- 26:19back to people that do have the means to save and assets.
- 26:22Like it's not a coincidence that the rich get richer and the poor
- 26:25got poorer, I would make the case that that is the result of,
- 26:29you know, the Legacy Financial system of what we have today.
- 26:31So I'm really happy that you know and I think this is Dennis
- 26:34is Porter. Dennis Porter's fun.
- 26:36So shout out to him. I'm really happy that
- 26:40politicians are taking or sorry, states are taking pre-emptive
- 26:44measures to, you know, to protect the rights of their of
- 26:48their citizens. But I think about how absurd it
- 26:52sounds. Oh, and it's also bipartisan.
- 26:54I absolutely love that Democrats and Republicans joining.
- 26:58But, you know, I would say that I would really say that it
- 27:05sounds so Lou. Chris Wright, the right to mine,
- 27:09the right to plug in a computer, right?
- 27:11Like like this pretty crazy, it's pretty crazy, right?
- 27:16Anyways, so moving on to this, this is something that we've
- 27:21also talked about. I think it was like, last week's
- 27:24show, we were talking about it was last week, shows thing is
- 27:26the last Friday's episode, we made the episode on the fact
- 27:30that the recent hostility from us Regulators is going to push A
- 27:36lot of, you know, Bitcoin and shit coin businesses,
- 27:39unfortunately overseas, right? So, you know, and and again,
- 27:45like it, you're playing with fire here specifically for the
- 27:47Bitcoin business is, I could care less about the Chicago and
- 27:50businesses. Like the US doesn't have the
- 27:53geographical Monopoly. The that advantage that it once
- 27:57had, right? So I'm really, I really hope
- 28:01that politicians understand this.
- 28:03They grasp this and they make the US A friendly business
- 28:09environment for Bitcoin businesses.
- 28:11You don't want to push those Bitcoin, businesses overseas,
- 28:14specifically to Hong Kong of, which the CCP controls, right?
- 28:18You don't want to do that. And I think it's ludicrous.
- 28:21I think the US needs to embrace its roots, go back to its past.
- 28:26And I think for that to happen, you know, the the federal
- 28:30government really needs to take, you know, a really big orange
- 28:33pill and realize that it's not going to have that problem.
- 28:36Privilege of having a monopoly on money that it once had and I
- 28:41think the world and the country would be much better for it.
- 28:44But again, like if you've been used to that privilege in that
- 28:48power is very, very very, very tough to swallow that pill.
- 28:53Anyways us lawmakers to reintroduce crypto tax reform.
- 28:56Bill goes on to say us lawmakers are planning on reintroducing.
- 28:59A bill that will reform the way crypto is treated for tax
- 29:02purposes. The bill called keep innovation
- 29:04in America Act. Led by US Representative,
- 29:08Patrick McHenry and Ritchie Torres.
- 29:10Love the bipartisan nature of it.
- 29:12Would narrow the definition of a crypto broker for tax purposes
- 29:16to any person. Parentheses for consideration,
- 29:19stands ready and the ordinary course of trade or business to
- 29:22affect sales of digital assets. At the direction of their
- 29:24customers. Lawmakers want to put this
- 29:27reform this reform forward because they believe the current
- 29:30reporting requirements for companies.
- 29:32Dampen innovation in the crypto sector quote the reporting.
- 29:36Requirements under current law required digital asset.
- 29:38Market participants to adhere to standards are incompatible with
- 29:42this Technologies operation. The bill said quote, this will
- 29:45hinder the development of digital assets and its
- 29:48underlying technology in the United States shifting, its
- 29:51development outside the United States.
- 29:53So, I absolutely love that. And at the very end, it says,
- 29:56for example, Miners and validators hardware and software
- 29:58developers do not have reason to collect information, required
- 30:01under the infrastructure, investment and jobs act, the
- 30:04bill added. So Interesting to see this play
- 30:09out. I think Bitcoins incentives.
- 30:11Stay with winning opt. He's quote, is like stays, you
- 30:15know, the front of my mind, right?
- 30:16You can't ban Bitcoin. You can only ban yourself from
- 30:20Bitcoin. So really us Regulators really
- 30:22gotta wake the F up and really realize.
- 30:26Look, this is you want to keep the hash rate in the country.
- 30:29You want to keep Bitcoin businesses in the country.
- 30:32You want to do that, you can't make this thing go away.
- 30:35You have to adopt Hop to it. The sooner they realize that the
- 30:39better it is for everybody, at least here in the US.
- 30:42And I would even say that, you know, Europe is also playing
- 30:44with fire as well. You know, basically playing
- 30:48around with language that it would make it difficult for
- 30:51people to take self custody, it would force people to report any
- 30:55transactions over a thousand dollars.
- 30:57And then how long until they knock on the doors of software
- 31:00developers and say, hey, you can't have this software because
- 31:03it doesn't have that report reporting.
- 31:06A big tin and I think that if they do that, I think it's just
- 31:10gonna force a lot of bitcoiners just to pack up and go and move
- 31:13to El Salvador Opti. And I joke about this all the
- 31:15time we say, look, we're going to try to hold her it that we're
- 31:18going to. We're going to try to hold it
- 31:19down here. You know, we're immigrants.
- 31:21We love this country what it represents, but at the same
- 31:24time, you know, the beauty of Bitcoin, it gives you the power
- 31:27to not only vote with your wallet, but it gives you the
- 31:30power to vote with your feet. But only, if you take self
- 31:33custody and when you take self, Ade you put that seed on metal,
- 31:38you don't want to put it on. Paper paper is prone to water
- 31:41damage. Fire damage, all that stuff.
- 31:43You want to put your seed on marine grade metal and there's
- 31:46no better place to do it than bit plates and the bit plate.
- 31:51The bit plate, metal steel backup is called the Domino.
- 31:55It's easy to use hard to destroy bit Place.
- 31:58Domino, play a bit plates. Domino plates are designed to
- 32:01preserve Bitcoin wallet. Back up seed, words and
- 32:04passphrases made from highly correlated.
- 32:06Resistant, 316 marine grade stainless steel, you can use the
- 32:11promo code simply to get 10% off.
- 32:13Don't be that person back, up your seed on steel.
- 32:16Anyways Opti what are you? What's your?
- 32:18Take on all this bro. Well first my very cynical take
- 32:23is while Boomers right on paper doing sure.
- 32:25Something they cannot stop but hey, my more not.
- 32:28So cynical take is something that I've kind of been saying
- 32:32for a while now. I'm kind of seeing the seemed
- 32:35lately. And maybe again I'm reading into
- 32:37things and I'm seeing what I want to see and hoping to see.
- 32:41But it does seem like the political tide around Bitcoin is
- 32:44turning. And I think there's still some
- 32:46good politicians out there again.
- 32:47You know me, I'm very distrustful of politicians in
- 32:50general but again I think there are some politicians out there
- 32:53that want to do good and are also terrified about the
- 32:57dystopian path that were on and still truly believe in the
- 33:01American ideals that they vowed to uphold.
- 33:06And So you know the opportunity opposition of Bitcoin will hurt
- 33:10America in the long run and if that's the path that these
- 33:13politicians want to take well Bitcoin will just route around
- 33:17it and not only that I think Americans in general once the
- 33:21Bitcoin fire catches on and it gets into the minds of the
- 33:27masses. I think that you know good
- 33:32old-fashioned just non-violence And non-compliant is where
- 33:37Americans will take this because Bitcoin is freedom Americans.
- 33:41And as far as I still believe, still believe in Freedom and any
- 33:46overreach by the American government to not only take
- 33:50people's property rights. But to hamper American freedom,
- 33:55I don't think will be, you know, like accepted.
- 33:59I think I think Americans are still holy in the belief of the
- 34:03land of the free and Home of the Brave.
- 34:05And so I just think that molt many people right now are just
- 34:09load to sleep and complacent and still believe that the
- 34:11government is trying to help them which you know, again I
- 34:15still think there is some good politicians out there but if the
- 34:19government wants to come out here, the federal government
- 34:21wants to continue to trample on people's freedoms.
- 34:23I think people are going to wake up and not like this.
- 34:26And when that happens, it's not going to be pretty.
- 34:28And so again, adopting Bitcoin is the best case scenario for
- 34:34America and the long run. And I I just hope that more
- 34:36people wake up to this. It's specially some of these
- 34:39politicians out here that that seemingly are waking up to.
- 34:42And it reminds me of what Pierre Richard said again, I keep
- 34:44referencing this. When he came on IRL, it does
- 34:47seem like there are more politicians, that believe what
- 34:50we believe, then that loud vocal minority that are opposing
- 34:54Bitcoin. So this is the importance of
- 34:57continuously countering the fud making the memes.
- 35:00Getting more people to adopt Bitcoin again.
- 35:03As Corey wrote, We are in a race to avoid the war.
- 35:05The more people . Bitcoin, the more we can just
- 35:08ride around them and understand that.
- 35:09Hey, if you don't have my best interest in mind, then why am I
- 35:12listening to you? Why are you following these laws
- 35:15that are literally hurting you not telling you to break laws,
- 35:17but you know, good old good old fashioned.
- 35:19Civil disobedience is still an American tradition.
- 35:22So, hey, I don't know where this is going but it is interesting
- 35:26to see. Politicians come out and ensure
- 35:29property rights and ensure that we can freely use Bitcoin.
- 35:33So I hope we do see more of this but again Again, hey, you know,
- 35:38Boomers right on paper to protect something that they
- 35:41cannot stop. Oh man.
- 35:43Oh man. Oh man.
- 35:44Alright everybody. Let's get to the culture.

- 36:51You can also hit me up on Twitter.
- 36:53DM, if you have questions, what do you, what do you have today,
- 36:57Opti? Let's go.
- 36:58Alright guys, so I did get some some positive responses on
- 37:03yesterday's little rant but I also cleared up a few things in
- 37:07Twitter spaces and I think maybe I don't say it enough on the
- 37:12live show in general, so I want to do that today but also we got
- 37:16this response on stacking news which is you know good jump off
- 37:20point. So shout out to zhan on second
- 37:24is it goes hello Nico and Opti. If you read this know that I'm
- 37:27watching every show appreciate it bro.
- 37:29Thank you very much. And then he goes on to say I
- 37:31just want to say that you don't need to push Bitcoin to people.
- 37:34Every time I try to do that I couldn't Express the beauty of
- 37:36Bitcoin. I felt like a pyramid scheme
- 37:38scammer, evangelizing Bitcoin. You could meet jealous people
- 37:41plotting bad things on your back especially in time of Crisis
- 37:45hyperinflation Etc. If someone wants to know my
- 37:47hobbies and life and I trust him, I would tell them about
- 37:50Bitcoin. Even if shortcuts are made in
- 37:52this show like take Bitcoin into self custody and that it's
- 37:55nothing can help happen to you. It's a great start for noobs and
- 37:58only show. Shit coin.
- 37:59X Pump telegram chat. I agree with the message of st.
- 38:02Op T provide value to your fellow man and stack Bitcoin,
- 38:05keep up the good work and tried to include super chat with
- 38:08lightning. I'm I keep forgetting to get us
- 38:11a, you know, lightning address here for you guys, but I will do
- 38:15that. And then to your point, I
- 38:17literally said this basically the same thing in Twitter.
- 38:20Cases after the show. And again maybe I don't say it
- 38:23enough on the show, but when I say that all we really have to
- 38:27do is evangelize Bitcoin. I also usually caveat with the
- 38:31idea that hey the best thing about Bitcoin is that you can
- 38:34scratch your own itch. And obviously there's a lot of
- 38:37trade-offs in Bitcoin and there is a very real safety concern.
- 38:40So, this is also why, you know, personally I'm a fan of the
- 38:44Second Amendment and protecting yourself and also not doing
- 38:47anything that you don't feel you need to do.
- 38:50And so the one thing I understand is we are in a PR War
- 38:55right now. And really, I set it in the News
- 38:58segment. We are in the race to avoid the
- 38:59war as the meme goes. And so, the game, the name of
- 39:03the game is really trying to get more people to understand
- 39:05Bitcoin. But I usually maybe, I don't say
- 39:07it on the show enough. I usually add the caveat in our
- 39:11Twitter spaces that I fundamentally agree with use as
- 39:14on, I think the best way to evangelize Bitcoin is by
- 39:18fundamentally living a life that other I want to live.
- 39:21And so as you said, you know, someone wants to know my hobbies
- 39:23and life and I trust them, I would tell them about Bitcoin
- 39:26and this is usually where I kind of angle it towards is, you
- 39:30know, living a good life and then inspiring the people around
- 39:34you. And having those Ripple effects
- 39:36continue to go out, not only in your, your family and friends,
- 39:39but your sphere of influence and by living that good life we are
- 39:43all evangelizing Bitcoin. And so again, you don't have to
- 39:46go out there and be, you know, on the street corner telling
- 39:49people to stack Bitcoin. Join or on Twitter.
- 39:51You don't you know staying on all that good stuff.
- 39:54But when I usually say this, it's just back to the idea that
- 39:59the game right now is getting more people to hold Bitcoin.
- 40:02And so I really love your take. I really love the constructive
- 40:04criticism because yes, you do not have to do anything that
- 40:08puts your personal safety at risk.
- 40:10This is fundamental, you know, basic human protocol.
- 40:13Number one survived and then reproduce.
- 40:16So the name of the game is survive.
- 40:19So, you We want to hold these stats for as long as humanly
- 40:22possible, and hey, if you feel like just, you know, being being
- 40:26the hermit Bitcoin, or by all means, don't do anything that
- 40:29you don't feel personally. Obligated to do, you can do the
- 40:33classic Satoshi quote of. Hey, if you don't get it, I
- 40:36don't have time to convince you. You can maybe not even ever talk
- 40:38about Bitcoin, maybe you're just in cepting, these ideas that we
- 40:41always talk about of inflation censorship resistance, the
- 40:45dystopian path that we are going on.
- 40:47Again, yesterday's little rant was kind of the idea.
- 40:50With, at the majority of people out, there are starting to feel
- 40:54that there's something wrong. And this is a very normal
- 40:57conversation going around right now.
- 40:59People know that there's something wrong and I just
- 41:03fundamentally believe, especially since this is
- 41:05essentially, my job now is to evangelize Bitcoin.
- 41:08I just think giving lip service to just the problems is not
- 41:11enough. Hence, why I continue to tell
- 41:14everyone that we need to push people towards a solution which
- 41:18is taking Bitcoin into self custody using, you know, Moon
- 41:20while it blue wallet blueberries wallet Jade, while it cold card,
- 41:24seed signer, Specter. Sparrow Pine, I'm blanking on
- 41:28some of them but the idea is we have the freedom tools, we have
- 41:31the solution. And the one thing I've noticed
- 41:34is that most people can feel that there's a problem, but they
- 41:39don't know that there's a solution.
- 41:41And so this is why I continue to go so hard on the idea of all.
- 41:45We really need to do is just get more people to hold Bitcoin.
- 41:48Get more people to understand why.
- 41:50A wee bit coin and again, survive through this
- 41:54transitionary period. Out of clown world.
- 41:56I fundamentally believe that the Paradigm is swinging the other
- 41:59way. And again, the best part about
- 42:02Bitcoin is scratching your own inch and you don't have to do
- 42:05anything you don't want. And on this next point, it's
- 42:08kind of the same point that I already said.
- 42:10I fundamentally believe that living a good life, being a good
- 42:14human is the best signal that you can possibly have in the
- 42:18world. So what's that?
- 42:19Usually mean. It is as I put here good morning
- 42:22getting wealthy is good and also being healthy being hopeful in
- 42:26the face of all the pessimism out there.
- 42:28I think this is the best way to spread that signal.
- 42:31So live a good life and people will resonate on that idea.
- 42:35But I really like this comment right here by Dak Skywalker and
- 42:39he goes the war on success and property.
- 42:41Ownership is conditioning the masses to accept, serfdom in
- 42:44slavery. Don't try to improve your
- 42:45position in life, only the greedy do that and then goes
- 42:49clown World Bitcoin. Is the money of The Sovereign
- 42:51and free folk. The decision is yours.
- 42:52And the reason I bring this up is back to this whole idea of I
- 42:56fundamentally believe humans, want to live a good life and so
- 42:59you don't have to go out there, evangelizing Bitcoin, you know,
- 43:02on the street corner with a sign, I think all you have to do
- 43:05is kind of, you know, to relate this to the number segment of
- 43:08what buchelli say say what you want about buchelli, but the
- 43:11proof is in the pudding, the receipts are there.
- 43:13The country is doing better and in that same vein as an
- 43:17individual, if you hold Bitcoin, if Improve your lot in life,
- 43:21other people will want that. Same thing for themselves, they
- 43:24will want to be optimistic. They want to be hopeful about
- 43:27the future and they will come to you and ask you, wait, how did
- 43:30you get fit? How did you get healthy?
- 43:32How did you get wealthy and you fundamentally tell them?
- 43:35Well there's a lot of lies in the in the world you've been
- 43:39lied to the system is broken. Everything coming out from the
- 43:43official dystopian Tyrant is most likely a lie and I have the
- 43:48solution for you and it starts by Fixing the money and we can
- 43:51fix the world, get on the Bitcoin standard, get on the
- 43:53mission of spreading the Bitcoin signal or just providing value
- 43:57to your fellow man and and providing the services in the
- 44:01product that the market wants and then saving in Bitcoin.
- 44:04And this is how we continuously spread that signal, without
- 44:07putting yourself at personal risk and personal safety, or
- 44:13keeping your safety. At the top of mine, this is all
- 44:16we have to do what CK always say.
- 44:17Make sure you make it over the finish line.
- 44:20Line with your body intact with the sets that you control and
- 44:23this is all we're doing. So do not do anything that
- 44:27because children do not do anything.
- 44:30That you personally, think we'll put your personal safety at
- 44:35risk. This is all trade-offs.
- 44:37As an individual, you have to do what's best for yourself.
- 44:40And this is all we're doing. Everyone is making the best
- 44:43choice for themselves and this is something that I continue to
- 44:45harp on its people, trusting themselves, trusting the process
- 44:49and knowing that you know, what's best for yourself, if you
- 44:51still have a brain out there and you can still think You know,
- 44:55the best course of action for your own life and you don't have
- 44:58to listen to the central planners to live a good life
- 45:01because in my opinion the most likely don't have your best
- 45:04incentives in mind. Anyways Nika I had to do a
- 45:07little PSA today but jump in bro dude say Opti doing it for the
- 45:12culture bro. Coming in with hot fire they
- 45:14don't call him saying Opti for no reason.
- 45:16Yeah, I mean look here's my take on the Stocker news B.
- 45:20I look you know Corey says it right the race to avoid the war,
- 45:24right? We You need a small minority of
- 45:27people at least in the u.s. if we don't all want to move till
- 45:31Salvador to adopt Bitcoin to get on a Bitcoin standard and this
- 45:35is its is on the ground. Winning over the hearts and
- 45:40Minds one individual at a time, it's extremely difficult to do a
- 45:46lot of people, especially if they've lived a good portion of
- 45:50their lives. In the Fiat, Matrix is very hard
- 45:54to wake them up. The analogy I always use is the
- 45:57scene from The Matrix. I know it's super cliche but
- 46:00it's so useful in. Describing this particular
- 46:04situation. Look they wake up, Neo you
- 46:09freaks out. He's like look this can't be
- 46:10real, you know, he pops and he just kind of like passes out and
- 46:15then he wakes up in his bedroom and Morpheus is standing above
- 46:19him like on the bed and it's like sorry Nico after people get
- 46:23to a certain age we don't wait. Up their brain, can't take it
- 46:26anymore. If you've lived a good portion
- 46:30of your life, Outsourcing the personal responsibility of the
- 46:34storage of your wealth, right? Or Outsourcing the personal
- 46:38responsibility of seeking your own information and doing your
- 46:41own research, right. A lot of the things that we
- 46:44talked about on this show, a lot of the ideas that we talked
- 46:47about on this show self custody putting your seed on metal and
- 46:52that's where your life savings and your generational.
- 46:55Or wealth or stored? Yeah, they could sit docket seem
- 46:59absolutely radical as hell and I'm completely aware of that.
- 47:05But, you know, statsky has the really famous article that he
- 47:10wrote like we are the remnant, the masses don't matter.
- 47:13Maybe I'm naive. Maybe you can call me stupid and
- 47:17like, whatever you want it is that you want to phrase me, but
- 47:20I have not given up. I think that this is what it's
- 47:22about. It's about winning over the
- 47:24hearts and minds of individuals showing them that there's a
- 47:27better way. You're not going to win
- 47:29everybody over. That's very clear, but I've been
- 47:33doing this for, it's going to be my seventh year and I could
- 47:39definitely say that I've definitely orange pilled a bunch
- 47:43of People so you can't say it doesn't work.
- 47:46Can't say it's not effective. You can say though that it is
- 47:50very, it's a very slow and like argues process, it's not easy
- 47:57but, you know, it's so easy in the global South.
- 48:00It's so easy if you're from Argentina.
- 48:02It's so easy. If you're from Venezuela.
- 48:03It's so easy to to describe the ideas that we talked about on,
- 48:09simply Bitcoin to, to get people to believe in those ideas.
- 48:13It's So easy to do, right without a shadow of a doubt,
- 48:16it's really in countries that have Financial privilege that,
- 48:20it's very difficult to do that, right?
- 48:22The bread and circuses are strong, the payment platforms
- 48:25are strong cash app venmo, etc, etc.
- 48:29So you don't have an incentive, right?
- 48:31You you have, you know, you have this wealth that that comes from
- 48:36your country having this very unique position where it can
- 48:40just create money out of thin air, right?
- 48:43Right. But I mean look I'm not ready to
- 48:47give up. I'm going to fight the good
- 48:49fight. I'm gonna try to convince as
- 48:51many people as possible and you know maybe call me crazy and
- 48:56stupid and naive of doing that but you know I feel like that's
- 49:00my purpose and I'm going to keep living my purpose man.
- 49:03And you know I know a lot of the time it's like you're just like
- 49:08beating up a concrete wall and I totally get that I've been
- 49:11there. We can't say it doesn't work,
- 49:14can't say it doesn't work, it definitely works.
- 49:17It's just it's just very hard. It's very difficult and I
- 49:20understand that that's my take bro and you know if you got a
- 49:24response to that I would love to hear it.
- 49:26Anyway. Nico before we go on to the
- 49:28meme, I had the meme in my head. It goes around Twitter all the
- 49:32time of the Corn farmer, like it ain't much, but it's honest
- 49:36work. Yeah, exactly.
- 49:38It ain't much it, you know, an eight months.
- 49:40It's honest work. You know?
- 49:41Now. Oh like now I'm super privileged
- 49:44and I appreciate it guys. And trust me, there's not one
- 49:47day that goes by that I'm not aware of this.
- 49:50We are very lucky and privileged to have been able to have been
- 49:54built up the platform that we've been built and it doesn't fall
- 49:58on us very lightly and we're very appreciative that and we
- 50:01would not be here without any of you, right?
- 50:04We promise we will use that platform as much as humanly
- 50:08possible to you know spread the good word of Satoshi.
- 50:12And really, this is why we are so politically neutral on this
- 50:16channel, pointed it out to people whether they're on the
- 50:19political, right? The left or the center that hey,
- 50:22a lot of your problems Matrix reference Nico.
- 50:27There is no conqueror out there is no spoon.
- 50:29Well, he was calling. He's like, wait.
- 50:31Is me koni? Oh, that's so funny.
- 50:33I've got you. So a lot of the problems, a lot
- 50:36of the political divisions are caused by what we were talking
- 50:40about when we were talking about nine buchelli, the Misalignment
- 50:43of incentives. You align incentives.
- 50:46A lot of those problems. Go away.
- 50:49They disappear. They, they, they stop taking so
- 50:53much importance in people's lives because you have to
- 50:56understand that people inherently know, there's
- 50:58something wrong with the system. They know it, they feel it in
- 51:02their bones but where they're wrong is they continue to seek a
- 51:06political solution to this. There is none.
- 51:10I mean, find there is One, but it's not the voting that they're
- 51:14used to, whether its voting Democrat, voting Republican,
- 51:17voting independent voting and libertarian.
- 51:20None of those things will solve the issue.
- 51:23The issue is that, there's a bureaucratic Elite, the
- 51:26government is able to issue money for free, that everyone
- 51:29else has to work for and they usually use that the power of
- 51:33the money printer to take care of themselves before they take
- 51:36care of the populace. And it's bitcoiners, we have to
- 51:40spread that message, far and wide.
- 51:42We have to tell people, even if they are like, yes, we're aware
- 51:46of that problem, but we don't think Bitcoin is a solution to
- 51:49that problem. They're already there there 75%.
- 51:5375% of the way there, right? It falls down to us, it really
- 51:57falls down to us individuals, whether it is, you make memes,
- 52:00you make, tweets, whatever it is that you do.
- 52:03Fight the good fight. Anyways, everybody, let's get to
- 52:06the memes. Got a lot to talk about.
- 52:08Let's check it out. The daily meme review brought to
- 52:15you by Kaboom racks. I get this question all the
- 52:17time. Nico.
- 52:18Where should I buy Bitcoin miners.
- 52:20The answer is Kaboom racks. It's the best place to buy
- 52:23Bitcoin miners. That's where you're going to
- 52:24find the best deals and the best prices start.
- 52:28Your mining Utopia today, to check out their racks.

- 52:42Whether you can do the Kaboom racks, I think we've done the
- 52:44Kaboom racks on every single show Century such like a mod on.
- 52:49Anyways, this is the mean review.
- 52:51This is your favorite portion of the show.
- 52:52This is what you said, all of our ranting just so you can see
- 52:55Your Meme on the show. Anyways, you already know what
- 52:59we say, we are in an information War, it's never been more
- 53:03obvious to me than than now that we are in a war on the truth.
- 53:08They're the powers-that-be, the corporate press has a monopoly
- 53:11on truth. And as we continue to cover on
- 53:13the show, tweets are the bullets memes are the artillery and all
- 53:17we really have is the truth on our side.
- 53:20And this trillion-dollar siop will fail because we have the
- 53:23memes and it's our me more and everyone else is just living in
- 53:26it. Anyways, this first name, shout
- 53:28out to my boy Maxie's Club. Did you did you hit yellow on
- 53:32your Tumblr? No, I didn't but no.
- 53:35Anyways, I thought I heard him. Okay.
- 53:40Don't stop. Bottle 2000.
- 53:44Okay, okay. All right enough.
- 53:46All right, nigga, having too much fun with the soundboard,
- 53:48okay? First meme is by at Maxie's club
- 53:51and he goes 327, period rich. And we got again Maxis.
- 53:58I know your watch this. Let me know these Peppa.
- 54:00The frogs is this your version of the Pepe the Frog?
- 54:02Anyways we got a an educated Pepe the Frog over here and it
- 54:07goes how to become rich with Bitcoin and we got Elon Musk in
- 54:11the background hanging on it. Sois and Jack Dorsey hanging on
- 54:15the wall as well with the the Fiat version of Jack Dorsey.
- 54:19And in the book, how to become rich with Bitcoin it says don't
- 54:22be a week and this is the way hot oil that Bitcoin.
- 54:27Oh man. Okay this next one on the same
- 54:29thing, same theme of houghtaling shouts out to Beaver Bitcoin he
- 54:32goes asterisk, 10 million dollar Bitcoin.
- 54:35He goes when everyone is salty, they bought Bitcoin at 69k but
- 54:40you know it's going to 10 million dollars.
- 54:42Bitcoin. Actually this guess might be a
- 54:44Bitcoin Baddie meme. You already know this kind of
- 54:48Simpson and Homer, just just briefly happy.
- 54:52And everyone else is mad at us. This is how we are right now.
- 54:54Hey maybe I told you about the top but if you Hollow long
- 54:57enough, you are going to be happy and this next one shots
- 55:01out the toy. To me certainly goes, Bitcoin
- 55:03melts up and we got some more Bitcoin AI art and I really like
- 55:07this, you know, Bitcoin melting up number will go up and it's
- 55:11just kind of a beautiful Little piece right here.
- 55:13So shout out to the AI machines, making the Bitcoin on it and
- 55:16everyone giving them the prompts to make some more Bitcoin art.
- 55:19I'm not afraid of the aii. Actually, I'm kind of starting
- 55:22to enjoy it. Okay, this next one is Michael
- 55:24sailor tweeting. Ugh, the journey is easier if
- 55:27you stay in the Bitcoin Lane and coin B goes picture form of this
- 55:31tweet, and we got a railroad tracks.
- 55:33It's completely straight and narrow and it says Bitcoin.
- 55:36And then we got crypto over here and it's a bunch of different
- 55:39railroad tracks going every, which way you don't even know
- 55:41what is, At and this is basically the shit coin World.
- 55:46They always pivot to a new narrative because they have no
- 55:49narrative and they know that they are just trying to scam you
- 55:51out of your Bitcoin. Anyways, this next team is by a
- 55:54bolito Panama and go Zayn ran on The Perils of ignoring Bitcoin
- 55:59and I love this quote. I've heard say 15 basically say
- 56:03the same thing in the Bitcoin standard in regards to Austrian
- 56:08economics and holding the hardest money.
- 56:10And here's a quote by on Randy. Goes, we can ignore reality but
- 56:14we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality
- 56:18and I think this is where we are in the world.
- 56:20We've been ignoring reality for far too long as I've been saying
- 56:23for a while, we're like, you know, Wiley Coyote off the
- 56:27cliff. And we are finally looking at
- 56:30our feet and realizing we are off the cliff.
- 56:32And this is why we're seeing so much turmoil in the world right
- 56:35now because people are waking up to reality.
- 56:37And you can't isolate yourself from the consequences of hard
- 56:41money, you? Need to hold the best money in
- 56:43this world and that is Bitcoin. And again, on that same vein,
- 56:49shouts out to me, Bitcoin. He goes open the gate to a
- 56:51better world and I'm pretty sure this is another a ir.
- 56:56And we got the Gates of Heaven and behind it.
- 56:58It is Bitcoin. And this is what the message I
- 57:02like to push all the time because it's literally changed
- 57:05my life. You don't change Bitcoin,
- 57:06Bitcoin changes, you and I am fundamentally convinced that if
- 57:10more people hold Bitcoin, even if it's a Small miniscule amount
- 57:13of their life savings of their personal.
- 57:16Well, it will improve their life, it will hold value over
- 57:19the long-term. Bitcoin has proven itself to be
- 57:22the best store of value in the last 15 years and it will
- 57:25continue to prove itself to be the best way to store your money
- 57:30in the digital world as well as the best way to transact on the
- 57:34internet. It is the best money in the
- 57:37world period and this is the way boys and girls.
- 57:42So How do them Bitcoins continue to spread the signal continue to
- 57:46live a good life and more people will want a Bitcoin as well.
- 57:50Let's again as I said yesterday this make Bitcoin cool live a
- 57:53good life living. A good life is cool.
