- 0:29anyways. Today.
- 0:30Today we have a very special guest.
- 0:32We he's already been blowing my mind and I've only had a chance
- 0:35to talk to him about 10 minutes backstage.

- 0:54optimistic. How about Kyle house?
- 0:56I'm super excited for this. I love, I love reading Beauty.
- 1:00His work. So I'm just pretty hype that we
- 1:02can do this today and continue to spread the signal for people
- 1:05out there. So I'm or if my section around
- 1:09some of beauty and writings and hopefully we can get some, you
- 1:12know, some more signal and some clarity out there for the people
- 1:15that don't understand what you're saying, which I think is
- 1:17very clear but hey there's still misconceptions on Twitter.
- 1:20So I'm excited for today. I'm really excited.
- 1:23So today guys, we're also going to talk a little bit.
- 1:24Some Marty bent drop in the sauce.
- 1:27He released a post talking about.
- 1:29A potential upgrade to bitcoin. What it what it means?
- 1:33We're going to talk about at the significance of all that and I'm
- 1:3699% sure. Most of you have not heard about
- 1:39it. So I think it's going to be a
- 1:40really good show. I'm really excited.
- 1:42Let's do this. Number time brought to you by
- 1:47novel at this point, you should be running your own Bitcoin
- 1:50note. If you don't use your own
- 1:52Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
- 1:55version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
- 1:57whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
- 2:01And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
- 2:04because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
- 2:07server. Visit not L.A you today.
- 2:10All right, everybody that time of recording the Bitcoin price
- 2:12is at 19. 1424 SATs per dollar for now it's called Moscow.
- 2:17Time for now 5000 148 block height seven hundred fifty nine
- 2:21thousand two hundred thirty nine blocks to The Happening 14,500.
- 2:2511 having estimate April twentieth, twenty twenty four
- 2:28blocks to The Happening. 80,000 761 total, lightning network
- 2:32capacity, 4970, three capacity value, 96 million USD.
- 2:37I hope that breaks 100 million and it stays above their realize
- 2:41monetary inflation. Once again Bitcoin, Taking Fiat
- 2:44currencies to Absolute School 1.78 percent.
- 2:46That number is going to keep decreasing and we know Fiat
- 2:50inflates forever market capitalization, three hundred
- 2:53and seventy two billion dollars. I picked a screenshot of a
- 2:57Reddit post, specifically for Beauty on and I think I want to
- 3:01talk about the significance of this.
- 3:03How it's going to change the world?
- 3:05I'm just going to read some of it.
- 3:06I'm going to pass the mic to Beauty on, so let's check it
- 3:09out. This is, it was deleted post and
- 3:12this is mungo's brains. Storm.
- 3:13This is a feature, not a bug. I just exited a country with a
- 3:17million dollars worth of bitcoin.
- 3:19So many people just get stuck on the fact that Bitcoin is
- 3:21intangible but I say that's a good thing just like you can't
- 3:25hold what you can't see. You can't confiscate what you
- 3:28can see either. I got on a flight with my seed
- 3:30phrase on me and there was absolutely no way anyone could
- 3:33have known about my Bitcoin. There isn't a single asset that
- 3:36could have. Let me do this freely.
- 3:38Sure, there are shit coins and stable coins.
- 3:40Other than them being centralized.
- 3:42They aren't even built. Money.
- 3:44They're all promises or straight up Monopoly.
- 3:46Money my conviction about Bitcoin is higher than ever
- 3:49ever. Even if people don't like
- 3:50Bitcoin now they will surely need it at some point in their
- 3:53life and it might be too late, then I'll continue to buy all
- 3:57the Bitcoin that the paper hand sell to me.
- 3:59So a couple things here and I've actually tweeted this.
- 4:03The fact that you could store millions billions if not
- 4:06trillions of dollars in your mind by memorizing, a 12 word
- 4:11phrase is going to fundamentally Totally change, everything.
- 4:15Beauty on, what are your thoughts on this?
- 4:18I'm really excited to hear what you have to say.
- 4:20Well, you could actually store all the Fiat that's ever going
- 4:24to be printed on the on in a seat phrase inside your mind.
- 4:28The whole nature of the fraud of Fiat means that it is an
- 4:35infinite. Surprise is nothing more than
- 4:38text on a piece of paper that anybody can print out.
- 4:41And so if you can compress that into See Fred you can have all
- 4:44the filters are printed in your mind but more important than
- 4:48this. What this demonstrates is that
- 4:51it will not be possible to stop people from moving money quote
- 4:55on quote from A to B anymore because everybody had anybody
- 5:01who can remember 12C phrase or can write it down in a book in a
- 5:05way that nobody will know that carrying it can carry money from
- 5:08A to B and then unlimited amount of money that means the The
- 5:13voluntary Society, the polite Society is on the brink of
- 5:19coming out of the womb because when the state has to ask nicely
- 5:23for which they can't go to Chase, they can't go to j.p.
- 5:26Morgan and freeze your account because there are no accounts.
- 5:30And this is why it's so important that people who are
- 5:32running Bitcoin Services, don't rely on third-party aggregators
- 5:39to supply their connection to bitcoin D and the Bitcoin.
- 5:43That's what absolutely essential but you control your own Keys.
- 5:49Otherwise the old system is going to be replaced with a new
- 5:52system, only a little bit with a little bit less friction.
- 5:56This is a sea change in how things are done and in order to
- 5:59get a take advantage of that, sea change to get on the boat of
- 6:03that sea of sea change. You have to control your own key
- 6:06that you have to use the right tools in the right way and then
- 6:10you'll be free. Now, what kind of man?
- 6:13Doesn't want to be free. What kind of man thinks that
- 6:16somebody else should have ultimate control over their
- 6:20money? I put it to you, that that is
- 6:22not a man at all. That's some kind of creature.
- 6:25And, of course, there's some people who are too scared to be
- 6:29able to remember 12C phrases or write them down.
- 6:32Maybe they're even a literate, who knows?
- 6:35So for them, they'll be other services that will be suitable
- 6:38for them, but if you are literate, you have memory to be
- 6:42able to remember 12 words. And know how to use a pen to be
- 6:46able to mark in a book. 12 words that you have your seat frames,
- 6:49then you are under nobody's control and that's the way it
- 6:53should be. And people have to treat you
- 6:54pull up with politeness if they want anything from you.
- 6:58And people means anybody, there's not going to be anybody
- 7:01who is above you, who can demand that, you pay them anything
- 7:06automatically they're going to have to do something to you like
- 7:10lock you up, or do something like that.
- 7:12And then we're into another Stage of the violence of the
- 7:15state and remember. Also, it's not possible for them
- 7:19to interdict everybody. There's not enough police to
- 7:22police everybody in the west, never mind the whole world, and
- 7:26when the billions who are coming on to bitcoin wake, up to this
- 7:30and they will wake up to it, then the system is going to
- 7:33transform into something else. A more polite Society, where
- 7:38coercion is not the first line of attack against the Ville and
- 7:44the nature of government is going to change.
- 7:47Also they're not going to be able to do all of the nasty
- 7:50violent, and ridiculous things that they're able to do by
- 7:53printing money in Pint. Everybody's backs and stealing
- 7:55the money from people who have put their savings into those
- 7:59so-called Banks that's going to end to.
- 8:02And so many things are going to change when the regime of
- 8:06Bitcoin is the universal overlay over the global economy and
- 8:11anybody who thinks that this is not going to happen.
- 8:13Then I have news for you you're absolutely wrong.
- 8:17Other things that have been transformative.
- 8:19Like this have happened against the wishes of those people who
- 8:23are quote unquote in control and Bitcoin is no different because
- 8:26it's actually not money. It's just a database many other
- 8:30database tools, whether it be BitTorrent or many other things
- 8:36have spread all over the world in a way that cannot be
- 8:40controlled. Now that these two ideas have
- 8:43been put into into one thing, the idea of databases that are
- 8:48disintermediated for one of the better description and money are
- 8:52now in one thing and money being half of all transactions.
- 8:57This is a sea change in how everything is going to work and
- 9:01there's nothing anybody can do about it.
- 9:03You can either fight against it and lose or go along with it and
- 9:07prosper. And everybody is going to
- 9:10prosper by the way, under Bitcoin, it's not a destructive
- 9:13thing. When tired entirely constructive
- 9:16thing and all those people who have concerns about the
- 9:19environment, they're not looking at it at the in the correct way
- 9:22the consumer Society where all sorts of frivolous goods are
- 9:27over consumed in a thorough way, further away like they worth
- 9:30nothing. Actually most them are but
- 9:31there's no story this world is going to disappear.
- 9:36When the economy turns from one of spending on to saving, people
- 9:40won't be frivolous with their money anymore.
- 9:43The our society will be replaced by a society of thrift which
- 9:47means that the garbage producing Industries will all shrivel up
- 9:52and go away replaced by industries, that produce things
- 9:56that are designed to last. Whether it's a pair of shoes, a
- 10:00belt, a shirt, or lovely jumper. Like the one I'm wearing,
- 10:04they'll be made to last and so they won't be seasonal changes
- 10:08of everybody's clothes people, things like Primark, which are
- 10:11designed basically, to Make people go and waste money.
- 10:16Those are all going to go away because everybody's going to be
- 10:18saving and I'll be worth saving because your money in the bank
- 10:22won't be diminished by inflation of the vast.
- 10:27Majority of people don't understand the Dynamics of
- 10:30inflation government produced money, always think.
- 10:32But when the feeling of what's changed gets into the general
- 10:37population, when the feeling about what this actually means
- 10:41starts to take, hold people will A matically start saving money
- 10:45because the prices of things will be changed in the market
- 10:48and they're all denominated in Bitcoin.
- 10:50And I don't know how far along in the future.
- 10:52This is going to be but it's definitely going to happen.
- 10:54If Bitcoin continues to exist and continues to spread and of
- 10:58course, we're doing our level best to make that happen.
- 11:02Oh man that was that was amazing, holy crap.
- 11:07So many ideas that I think we kiss again.
- 11:10If you've been in Bitcoin long enough and you understand the
- 11:12significance Of individuals hundreds of millions of
- 11:16individuals holding their own private Keys, it fundamentally
- 11:19changes, the relationship between individual and the
- 11:21state, right? It moves the balance of power
- 11:23like, I always say on the show, and I don't think we fully
- 11:27understand the significance of that.
- 11:29But if you're a big believer in the free market, right at the
- 11:33free markets, never going to have its never had that much
- 11:36Freedom, right? I don't know how else to phrase
- 11:38it. Right.
- 11:39Exactly. Right.
- 11:40And, you know, the idea that you can have a free market it where
- 11:44the form and supply of money is under the control of the state
- 11:48is, is observed in or time to feed Market.
- 11:51You have to have a free market in form and supply of money
- 11:55that's used by everybody. And the people who have been in
- 11:58charge of that know that private monies are very very dangerous
- 12:02because all of the plans and mesh Nations that they're
- 12:07they're working on all. Depend on an unlimited supply of
- 12:13money that they can manufacture at will, that's how they're able
- 12:17to have this military industrial complex surveillance state, in
- 12:20the length of the business, it cannot be paid for if the money
- 12:24supply is limited. And so that's not the only
- 12:28thing. There's a lot of that many, many
- 12:31cronies who make a fortune out of getting access to this Fiat
- 12:35money first, and they're not going to be very happy with the
- 12:39The new shape of the world but they know that these things
- 12:43cannot possibly last forever. All Fiat currencies, have all
- 12:48gone to zero in the end. I think the average life of
- 12:51these Fiat currencies over time has been 16 years, you measure
- 12:55them all. So it's very important for them.
- 12:58If they want to maintain their positions of any kind to get
- 13:01onto the Bitcoin, Network become a on the Bitcoin Network, and
- 13:05use the existing infrastructure that they built to start.
- 13:09Around Bitcoins but themselves. Otherwise they're going to be
- 13:13replaced. It's as simple as that, man.
- 13:16It's beautiful, it's crazy how. And in watching their reflex
- 13:20reaction, which is always relying on the Monopoly of
- 13:24violence that they have and just just looking to that and
- 13:28watching them come to terms with the fact that that usual
- 13:32mechanism to keep that moat up doesn't work anymore right and
- 13:38get work because everybody's going To be on a peer-to-peer
- 13:41basis music. That means people trading
- 13:43between each other. And there's not enough police to
- 13:46please some more. And also, some of the pretext
- 13:48are using for so-called cracking down on bitcoin are absolutely
- 13:53absurd saying that it's being used for criminal Enterprises
- 13:56were even if it was not all the people on Earth are criminals a
- 14:01speculative people we're talking about like 97% of people are
- 14:06law-abiding, people don't want any trouble from anybody and
- 14:09they don't Deild, I don't murder.
- 14:10They do anything else. So to lump everybody who uses
- 14:14Bitcoin or any other tool into that big, that Cesspool tiny
- 14:19little bit is completely ridiculous and it's an over
- 14:22reaction. It's an over reaction that shows
- 14:25they're scared out of their minds about change and I'm
- 14:28afraid that there is nobody, that's going to react to them
- 14:32being frightened. Nobody cares if they're
- 14:34frightened, they just want to do things better.
- 14:36They want more convenience, they don't want their money stolen
- 14:39from them, And like this story of this guy who walked through
- 14:42the the one country to another with a million dollars.
- 14:45This is what they want. They want to be able to move
- 14:48from A to B with their money or move their money from A to B
- 14:52without any problems. And I know some people who are
- 14:55doing some business in the the West Africa and it was very
- 15:00difficult for them to move money from A to B because the banking
- 15:04systems don't connect, don't talk to each other and so with
- 15:07Bitcoin do all that goes away, all that.
- 15:09The way the speed at which people will be doing business
- 15:13will just go through the ceiling and also bear this in mind, all
- 15:18of the e-commerce Giants. In the west will suddenly have
- 15:21access to billions of people who literally billions of people who
- 15:26will all by their mobile phones. Be able to buy and sell over
- 15:30their platforms little thick, for example, Amazon just imagine
- 15:34if Amazon had an extra not even 2 billion, 500 million users,
- 15:39being able. To buy on Amazon, you'd have to
- 15:41be insane to say no to that and also because Bitcoin is a push
- 15:45system. Payer fraud is totally
- 15:48eliminated by it. So not only do you get access to
- 15:52many more people but you get access to a tool that eliminates
- 15:56payer fraud and all the costs that you have to eat to do that.
- 16:00They're associated with that. So people who are against
- 16:02Bitcoin are either ignorant or they have a vested interest in
- 16:07keeping people away from Bitcoin.
- 16:09They're just plain dumb and there are people who are playing
- 16:12dumb in the world and we have to live with them but they're going
- 16:16to have to live in our world. Now the Bitcoin mediated world
- 16:20because it's nothing they can do to stop it.
- 16:23Oh man I'm really gonna enjoy this episode.
- 16:27All right all right everybody let's move to the news.
- 16:29I have some Marty bent awesome article and we also I have some
- 16:34tweets some articles from Beauty on and we're going to ask him to
- 16:36elaborate a little bit about that.
- 16:38Anyways let's continue. You.
- 16:42The Daily News brought to you by B box to bitcoin, only
- 16:46additional Hardware wallet, my shift crypto crypto like
- 16:50cryptography. It's secure, it's open source
- 16:53and it's so easy. Your mom can set it up.
- 16:55Self custody is the revolution in the bit box.
- 16:58Makes it simple, do not leave your Bitcoin on an exchange
- 17:02order. A bit box today.
- 17:05All right, everybody, let's check this out.
- 17:06This is the software. This is the update that they're
- 17:09trying to merge into. Bitcoin core that you've
- 17:11probably never heard of L over a period of peer-to-peer El Rey
- 17:15support signaling. Let's check it out.
- 17:17It's been over a it's been a literally any Curly's sorry Nico
- 17:21can read you guys know the drill Earl a thank you Opti.
- 17:24It's been a little over three years and exactly 696 issues
- 17:28since we have last talked about early in this rag back, in
- 17:31September of 2019, we wrote about Peter, will I can't?
- 17:35Oh my God, the names. I'm sorry guys, thank you.
- 17:40And galeb. No, no Mac.
- 17:42Anko, I'm sorry guys. Submitting an official be IP to
- 17:46start the process of getting early, merge into the protocol.
- 17:49For those of you who may be unaware of what exactly early
- 17:52is, it is a change to the transaction relay protocol.
- 17:55At the peer-to-peer layer that full nodes used to communicate
- 17:58and share data about transactions that have been
- 18:00broadcast to the network. The change would bring material
- 18:03bandwidth efficiency gains to the peer-to-peer layer which
- 18:06will make it easier for more people to run full nodes.
- 18:10I That's the signal right there, particularly individuals who are
- 18:13living in areas with subpar internet connectivity.
- 18:16What you're looking at Freaks is a massive breakthrough and
- 18:20distributed network engineering that will enable Bitcoin to
- 18:23become a more robust, reliable and private Network more robust
- 18:27because it enables more individuals to start to
- 18:29participate in network validation by opening up the
- 18:32potential Universe of those who have the ability to run a full
- 18:35node by lowering the barrier to entry on the internet bandwidth
- 18:38side of things more. Liable by increasing the
- 18:41connectivity between nodes and more private by making it harder
- 18:45for attackers to identify the node from which a transaction
- 18:48originated, extremely bullish Beauty on more and more to the
- 18:53peer-to-peer. What are your thoughts on the
- 18:55early update or potential? Bitcoin Improvement protocol
- 19:00being merged into Bitcoin core? But I think it sounds very good
- 19:03on the surface, anything like this, which is an improvement,
- 19:06in how Bitcoin actually works. Is a good thing things that are
- 19:11not good. Things are changes to address
- 19:14his to make these these funny addresses for people with their
- 19:18legacies. Most of it is, that's not good,
- 19:21but this is a very good thing because it expands the
- 19:23capabilities of Bitcoin without changing the fundamental nature
- 19:27of it. So, I don't think anybody can be
- 19:29against this out of the box without just a cursory
- 19:33examination. And so it would be a good thing
- 19:36that it gets merged because the more people who have access to
- 19:38be able to run full notes, Increases the the security of
- 19:43the network and it's a good thing.
- 19:46Absolutely. So I I want to take advantage of
- 19:48the fact that you're here to talk a little bit about the
- 19:52recent moves by the state to go after Bitcoin specifically.
- 19:57Right. And the example that comes to
- 19:59mind was the recent move by the US Treasury to ban open source
- 20:04re not band. Sanction, specific open source
- 20:07software that has never been done before sanctions.
- 20:10Ins have always only been against individuals or
- 20:13countries, but for the first time and US history, I believe
- 20:17this is what beauty and I a beauty on and I were talking
- 20:20about before the show, this is a pre-emptive move to set a
- 20:24precedent by the treasury because if they could say, we
- 20:28could sanction certain open source software what is bitcoin
- 20:32and open-source software, we can sanction.
- 20:35Bitcoin now. Is this going to be successful?
- 20:38Absolutely not. But they're you.
- 20:40Can't let the state isn't going to go gently into that good
- 20:42night without putting up a fight Beauty on.
- 20:44What are your thoughts on this? Like, you know, when you have
- 20:46children, it's bedtime, it's bedtime.
- 20:49So you go to bed, so you go with that.
- 20:51Mike and sped up, that's all there's to it.
- 20:53And let's just put this peak seriously about this.
- 20:57As far as I understand the legislature rights legislation
- 21:01in the United States, not the treasury not suc or anybody
- 21:06else, so they can't write about them.
- 21:09Allah for the In the first place and the legislature is
- 21:12explicitly. Forbidden from writing laws that
- 21:15violate the constitution. That's those are two things.
- 21:19And then, again, you can't sanction a piece of software,
- 21:23that's completely absurd. It's like sanctioning Hemlock or
- 21:28Hell or arsenic in the bottom. We're going to sanction arsenic
- 21:31because Arctic is used to poison people.
- 21:34It's commits observed on its face.
- 21:35So whoever is Whoever has written, this doesn't understand
- 21:39how software works. Doesn't understand that software
- 21:42developers are protected by the United States, first, the First
- 21:45Amendment of the Constitution in the United States.
- 21:48And so this is this is settled law.
- 21:50So these people are probably very young ignorant and don't
- 21:55understand what it is. They're dealing with.
- 21:57And we see a lot of this when people try and address the
- 22:00so-called problem of Bitcoin, they see that something big is
- 22:04happening. These see, it's coming down the
- 22:05pike and they want to control, how it's coming down, the pike
- 22:09towards them. Like this ridiculous Loomis Bill
- 22:12and they just expose their ignorance in the text of the
- 22:16law. But with this, it cannot
- 22:19possibly be a law. You cannot sanction of protocol.
- 22:22You cannot sanction a piece of software.
- 22:24You can only sanction people and people write software and
- 22:28Americans who write software have rights.
- 22:30And those rights can't be taken away by an on legislative body.
- 22:35That's just a fact. It will go to court because
- 22:38that's the only language if people.
- 22:40And and then when it goes to court, it might even go to
- 22:43scotus and they'll be struck down and that's the end of it.
- 22:46Yeah, just like rip the wars happened in the 1990s.
- 22:51They lost basically. And so Clipper chip.
- 22:54And also the business was abandoned and these things will
- 22:56be abandoned also. And every day they spend wasting
- 23:01their time trying to fight Bitcoin, Bitcoin is growing
- 23:04stronger, and stronger, and stronger and Bitcoin,
- 23:08entrepreneurs are very nimble. They understand what a passport
- 23:12is. They understand that the lines
- 23:14on a map in the world are actual jurisdictional boundaries
- 23:19through which the authority of these states cannot pass and
- 23:22they're going to other jurisdictions, just like the
- 23:24Chinese miners came to Texas to escape Chinese jurisdiction.
- 23:28American entrepreneurs, should the American government make a
- 23:31big big fundamental mistake as they have in the past, like with
- 23:34internet gambling. They'll just move to not
- 23:36jurisdiction and serve everybody from there.
- 23:39So these are Jurisdictions will benefit from the ignorance of
- 23:44the American literature, or they can back down understand that
- 23:48their role is the public servant.
- 23:50And servant doesn't mean Master. It means servant serve the
- 23:53American people by getting out of their way so that the
- 23:57entrepreneurs can build services that serve the whole world and
- 24:01their problem. We solved in that way.
- 24:03And of course, all these businesses that are started in
- 24:05the United States have to pay tax in the United States.
- 24:08So just imagine there's a Coin company that serving the entire
- 24:12world, by supplying Bitcoin, and it's based in the United States.
- 24:16Imagine how much taxes are going to pay that, maybe they're going
- 24:18to be raking in trillions of dollars and the other big tech
- 24:22companies have in corporations in Ireland, Apple, Amazon, most
- 24:27business, why? Because they don't want to pay
- 24:30taxes and be over governed by the United States government.
- 24:35And during the Trump era, these companies were encouraged to
- 24:38repatriate them some of them. That they've been accumulating a
- 24:41broad. Look, economics is not a game.
- 24:44Economics is real economics is real and entrepreneurs will
- 24:49adjust their behavior to make sure they're not being fleeced
- 24:53and the American government should understand this.
- 24:55But unfortunately, people like Ron Paul are routinely ignored
- 25:01because what they're saying is unpalatable to that class of
- 25:05people who think that the Masters not the servants.
- 25:08And so America keeps making mistakes.
- 25:10Over and over and over again and in 2022 in the network world,
- 25:15where anybody can run a server anywhere with a press of a
- 25:18button, nobody's going to tolerate ignoramuses and other
- 25:23nice people interfering in their business.
- 25:26They're not going to tolerate it, why should they?
- 25:28They shouldn't and because Bitcoin and with the only
- 25:32exception of mining which requires a physical presence
- 25:35because Bitcoin is also Fair all the time, all the way down, they
- 25:39can run their This is from anywhere.
- 25:41So, obviously anybody who's a patriotic American wants,
- 25:45Bitcoin companies to be incorporated in the United
- 25:48States where they're going to be taxed.
- 25:50And that's that should be the overriding desire of anybody
- 25:54who's a public servant going to serve America.
- 25:58Otherwise they're going to go somewhere else.
- 26:00So they need to understand that in order to in the case of
- 26:05politics ruling actually means obeying ruling actually mean
- 26:10He's protecting it doesn't mean getting in the way of people
- 26:13hauling people before Congress to testify pointing your finger
- 26:17at them. Scolding them.
- 26:19That's that's sensible. That's not sensible to actually
- 26:21anti-American and we're finding out now that their jurisdictions
- 26:27where people are moving to because it's easier to do
- 26:30business. And those jurisdictions are not
- 26:32the USA, even inside the USA companies, fastidiously avoid
- 26:39doing business in York because of that, toxic anti-American,
- 26:44absurd, horrific bitlicense. So all those people in New York,
- 26:48who should have free access to bitcoin just like every other
- 26:52American don't because of one stupid legislature wants stupid
- 26:57man who thought he knew better than anybody else.
- 26:59And actually wanted to set up a business for himself policing
- 27:02the law that he wrote for himself.
- 27:04So it's very important that these people understand what
- 27:08their job is, what America? Is what the Constitution says
- 27:12and the separation of powers and everything else.
- 27:14If they just obey the oath that they swore he wouldn't be even
- 27:17discussing this but they all think they want to be the boss
- 27:21and they're going to be they're going to be shown that.
- 27:25They're not the boss and this is very easy to predict.
- 27:28If you're old enough to have seen, You know, the last time in
- 27:33the last 30 years and a lot of these people in the, in the
- 27:36legislature are old enough to have seen this, they just don't
- 27:38care. Yeah, it's so fascinating and,
- 27:42and again, it's it, the, it kind of goes back to the point that I
- 27:45was originally saying, right is their usual mechanism of
- 27:49coercion, which is the Monopoly on violence is not effective in
- 27:55a Bitcoin World. It doesn't doesn't give the
- 27:57return on violence that it once did.
- 27:59Right. So that and what's that going to
- 28:01do? Eventually that's going to,
- 28:03they're going to be forced to change because it doesn't work
- 28:05anymore. But anyways, before I get to
- 28:07before, before we move on Beauty on, I want to just 1/8.
- 28:11I just wanted to read the first passage of your medium article,
- 28:15by the way, I agree with you. Let's check it out and it's
- 28:18referencing for audio listeners. You're watching simply Bitcoin
- 28:21live. We have a guest today is Beauty
- 28:23on and the name of the Articles unpacking, the lummis gillibrand
- 28:28responsible Financial Innovation Act.
- 28:32Beauty on you go on to say the idea that there can be a
- 28:34responsible Innovation is absurd on its face if lummis and
- 28:38gillibrand were alive during the era of Lake ice delivery by
- 28:42horse and cart. They would have found that the
- 28:44electric icebox was irresponsible Innovation because
- 28:47many men would be put out of work and horses turned into glue
- 28:52or me now. And this is something that I've
- 28:54actually said many times on the show the people that are tasked
- 28:59to regulate Bix, you can't regulate Bitcoin Could
- 29:01definitely regulate the on and off ramps.
- 29:03Make it difficult for people. The people that are tasked to
- 29:06so-called regulate Bitcoin are. Also the people that have the
- 29:09most to lose if Bitcoin succeeds talk about misaligned
- 29:15incentives. So tell us Beauty on.
- 29:17Why you wrote that article? What were your thoughts in that
- 29:20article? What angle were you approaching
- 29:22it from? If you've seen the draft of it
- 29:27looks quite different things, but do you see more of my
- 29:29thoughts about it? The question is this?
- 29:31Hoot asked them to police speech.
- 29:35Who told them? It's their job to police speech.
- 29:38That's what I want to know. Where in their oath.
- 29:41They say that they have that the, the power to do that, where
- 29:43in the constitution does say they have the power to do that.
- 29:46How do these people appoint themselves?
- 29:48The Masters, over 300 million Americans.
- 29:52They're not the Masters, the other servants, and this bill,
- 29:56this bill is the ultimate legal strawman where they set up this
- 30:00fake thing called. Digital assets, and then build a
- 30:04framework around it or something.
- 30:06It doesn't even exist and it is an offence.
- 30:09It's deeply offensive to anybody is a real American deeply
- 30:13offensive and it will. And first of all, it will never
- 30:15work and if it's challenged in the Supreme Court, it will be
- 30:20struck down. All it's going to do is waste
- 30:23millions of dollars in lawyers fees to for Americans to assert
- 30:28themselves and assert their rights.
- 30:30Now do Do the people who have written this Abomination,
- 30:35believe that they're doing the right thing on a maybe they do,
- 30:40but they're definitely not doing the right thing to even propose
- 30:43this to make everybody terrified.
- 30:44This is horrible loss. Coming is highly unethical
- 30:48Behavior. It should not even enter into
- 30:50their imaginations to author, something like this.
- 30:54It's like saying that they want to write a law to stop people
- 30:58from authoring a new science. Looks because science fiction is
- 31:03frightening for children. So we have to protect the
- 31:05children. It's completely absurd.
- 31:08And the fact, they've even got this far to be able to draft
- 31:11this law shows that there's a big discipline problem in the
- 31:17legislators not only in the United States but also in the EU
- 31:21where they're trying to do things even more outrageous.
- 31:24But in the EU, at least they have an excuse in that, there's
- 31:28no written Constitution. Those people have no rights,
- 31:31guaranteed We have any kind and so they can make a law saying,
- 31:36on hosted wallets, which is no such thing are illegal.
- 31:40They've actually tried to propose this, and I don't know
- 31:42if it's going to pass, or it's not going to pass, but if they
- 31:45do pass it, it will be an absolutely terrible disaster for
- 31:49the people of the EU. It will mean that ordinary
- 31:53people will not be able to go into an app store, download
- 31:56Samurai wallet, Pine wallet, blue wallet, Moon wallet,
- 32:00Phoenix, What's Toshi or any of these other good wallets these
- 32:04ethical Bitcoin wallets because they don't conform with the EU
- 32:08regulations and as you know, all of the app stores are already
- 32:13Geo confined. So if you're trying to download
- 32:17one of these apps from inside the EU, it just won't turn up in
- 32:20your search only unethical, Bitcoin wallets where they are
- 32:25non-custodial, will be available and this will be a very, very
- 32:29bad thing for people to leave you alone.
- 32:31Lucky for them. They can get a passport and
- 32:35expatriate or if they're clever they can get a proxy and appear
- 32:39to be in the United States or another free free country and
- 32:42free jurisdiction, but the principle Remains the Same, they
- 32:44have no right to control people's software and if they do
- 32:49that, it's going to call. It's not going to stop Bitcoin
- 32:53at all software. Piracy is a global phenomenon,
- 32:56it's all throughout Europe and there's nothing they've been
- 32:59able to do stuff that. So they won't be able to stop
- 33:00Bitcoin either. What they will do is they'll
- 33:03stop entrepreneurs from incorporating in any EU country
- 33:07and they'll all go to United States or someplace else and all
- 33:11that money that's flowing throughout the whole Bitcoin
- 33:13network will go through that company inside United States
- 33:17instead of somewhere else. And I think it was some French
- 33:21Minister just today on the Twitter's I saw that they want
- 33:24to encourage friends to be the center of the new Economy based
- 33:28on bitcoin or quote-unquote cryptocurrencies.
- 33:31Has this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
- 33:35It's never ever going to happen because they are philosophically
- 33:39a predisposed to stopping the free flow of money ideas and
- 33:44everything else in the EU. So it cannot happen.
- 33:47The fact that this law is being proposed in the EU.
- 33:51And this minister is saying, he wants friends to be the center
- 33:53of this new economy shows that the left hand doesn't know what
- 33:56the right hand is doing, is the whole thing is dis coordinated,
- 34:00and it depends on. Who gets to the legislature
- 34:04first at the outcome will be determined.
- 34:07And you know if Francis lucky, they'll pass some laws that will
- 34:11make using Bitcoin legal acceptable and trouble-free
- 34:15although I doubt it and if they're unlucky, the EU will
- 34:18pass this on hosted wallet law and then the whole of the EU can
- 34:22be just thrown away because it's just not going to happen.
- 34:24But all of this stuff that's happening, now is short term,
- 34:28short term perturbations Annoyances in the long term.
- 34:34And the real question is, how long is that long term in the
- 34:37long term? They're not going to be the
- 34:39police. Anybody Bitcoin is going to be
- 34:41the global money for billions of people and there's nothing they
- 34:45can do to stop that and once that happens all of their power
- 34:49to create money to police people will all just go away.
- 34:53Now, I'm not saying that people should not pay taxes.
- 34:57Bible says, you have to pay taxes.
- 34:59So the what they cannot Do is create money behind people's
- 35:04backs and cheat. People cheating is not right?
- 35:07And that's going to stop Bitcoins going to stop that and
- 35:10so they're going to be forced to use buddy.
- 35:13The legislators and politicians of the future, they're going to
- 35:16be forced to use money in the way that people want for police
- 35:21fire protection, maybe schools all schools street cleaning,
- 35:26keeping the streets, clean that kind of stuff.
- 35:29That's the things that they should be.
- 35:31Eating on, not on bitcoin and other things like that.
- 35:35People trading messages over the internet's.
- 35:38The whole structure of the western world is going to change
- 35:41and rest of the World, by the way, but they'll probably be
- 35:44dragged along Kicking and Screaming.
- 35:46So although maybe not in Nigeria's number two country on
- 35:49Earth for Bitcoin. So, it's possible that that
- 35:53country, which is a very great country, might get a government,
- 35:58that sensible turn the switch on for Bitcoin and All the sudden
- 36:03some very very good things can happen there.
- 36:05I don't know all I know is that the inevitable is coming and
- 36:08anybody who tries to stop it is a fool.
- 36:12You know, I am 100% agree, it's actually really fascinating
- 36:17because in developing countries, it's exactly what you said,
- 36:21people have the incentive because they're adopting Bitcoin
- 36:25out of necessity versus what you see in the in the west people
- 36:29are adopting Bitcoin because they're A chelating on it, they
- 36:32think they're going to get wealthy, right?
- 36:34So it's a whole different, it's a whole different incentive,
- 36:37right? So I'm actually tweeted this out
- 36:39the other day. I'm more bullish on developing
- 36:41countries adopting Bitcoin. Then I am on developed
- 36:45countries. Adopting Bitcoin.
- 36:47Venezuelans are going to adopt Bitcoin because they want to put
- 36:49food on the table. So argentinians or people in
- 36:51Turkey, so are people in Nigeria right versus, you know,
- 36:55Americans they got that convenient PayPal, but none of
- 36:58them ever look under the hood, right?
- 37:01What if PayPal. And this isn't just me
- 37:03conspiracy theory anymore. What if PayPal goes out the next
- 37:06day? And says, hey, if you say a
- 37:08certain thing we're going to find you, which is what they try
- 37:11to do before they got caught red-handed, right?
- 37:13What that's what, that's what just happened to live.
- 37:15Two lives of tick-tock, lives of tick-tock got her counter
- 37:19PayPal, can her cows like it? Her account got the account that
- 37:23was associated with her terminated because they don't
- 37:27like what she's saying and that is something that cannot happen
- 37:31in bit. Coin.
- 37:32And so we're taking it back into the into the near term.
- 37:35This whole cancel culture thing when it comes to the financial
- 37:38rails will cease to be a real thing.
- 37:42Anybody who wants to have cancel culture, free money can have it
- 37:48if they're willing to download an ethical Bitcoin wallet and
- 37:52then load it up with Bitcoin. Nobody can stop them from
- 37:55receiving money. If they use BTC pay server or
- 37:59their website or whatever, the Tools I think BTC pay service
- 38:03one of the better ones and nobody can stop you from
- 38:06receiving money. So this whole Bitcoin economy
- 38:11will change the way people behave.
- 38:14Because they'll know, I can say whatever I want because the bank
- 38:17can't cut me off, there is no bank, I am the bank, I'm the
- 38:21bank now, and so they can do whatever they want.
- 38:24They can say whatever they want and nobody can cut them off.
- 38:27It's going to make a mean of flowering of free speech.
- 38:31You might not like what they say, I'm on time to like it but
- 38:34free speech is a good thing and it will flower under a Bitcoin
- 38:38economy because the threat of being canceled will be
- 38:41eliminated forever. Yep.
- 38:44And then people are just going to have to actually debate their
- 38:48ideas, right? Just varied or not.
- 38:50Oh no, just ignore them. Yeah, so it's it's I'm very
- 38:54excited for this future, but I do agree.
- 38:57It doesn't scare. Me is not what Bitcoin winning
- 38:59at the end. It's the And right now we are in
- 39:02the middle of that transition. Anyways, Opti, let's get to the
- 39:05culture, bro. Let's do it.

- 39:35It's November 10th to the 11th. Los Angeles, California.
- 39:38List includes Michael sale in Alden core eclipse and Jeff

- 39:54today, brother? Well, first and foremost, that
- 39:56was an amazing, amazing, rip pure signal for everyone
- 40:00listening and I'm just going to reference some of your writings
- 40:03Beauty on. I have them in the link for in
- 40:06the description for people. If you want to Get more, you
- 40:09know, more expansive on these topics, but one of my favorite
- 40:12sayings, and I'm pretty sure you're the creator of this for
- 40:14those seeing on the YouTube, it is Bitcoin is.
- 40:18And that is enough. And for you guys on the spaces,
- 40:21I'm not going to get into the article.
- 40:22I'd much rather just have Beauty on, maybe elaborate on this for
- 40:26for people that are new to this concept, or this idea.
- 40:28Because I fundamentally believe this Bitcoin is and that is
- 40:33enough and and more people need to understand this well, now
- 40:36that Bitcoin exists. It's Spreading all over the
- 40:40place. I coined this phrase because it
- 40:44was obvious to me that this missing part of the internet
- 40:49payments, that were secure and push payments.
- 40:53Now that it existed, many things would be unlocked, many is like
- 40:56a Legend of Zelda Wii. Many things would be unlocked
- 41:00because this thing exists, people might not understand how
- 41:04exactly it works right now, and it's going to take a long time
- 41:07for the Correct, business models to be discovered and then the
- 41:10business is built on top of them, but those things are
- 41:13inevitable. The missing part was Bitcoin,
- 41:17and now it exists. And it cannot be undone.
- 41:21It cannot be revoked, it cannot be turned off.
- 41:25And once Ordinary People understand the incentives,
- 41:29understand the advantages of using Bitcoin, rather than a
- 41:32Fiat money system, you're going to wake up one morning and find
- 41:36that Bitcoin is spreading Exponentially throughout the
- 41:39whole world. It's going to take the same
- 41:42thing happened with WhatsApp. WhatsApp is built on many
- 41:46decades of different software techniques.
- 41:49And the perfect platform in the form of these Android and
- 41:53iPhones to create something that people who are interested in pgp
- 41:58feel Zimmerman and all this business only dreamed about
- 42:01billions of people having their messages and voice voice calls
- 42:06protected by public key. Key cryptography.
- 42:09How this was done. Nobody could have imagined back
- 42:12in 1991 when pgp was first released.
- 42:16But today, it's obvious WhatsApp is everywhere.
- 42:20Everybody has their stuff protected by public key
- 42:23cryptography and this is a very important.
- 42:26This is a very important lesson in that.
- 42:27Also part of what, the people who were exposed to these ideas.
- 42:34Originally imagined is that the Has to be in control of a
- 42:40generation of the secret, and private key pairs, but it turns
- 42:45out that the benefits of public key cryptography can be
- 42:48obtained. Even if the wall developer, or
- 42:51the app developer takes care of that for you in the background
- 42:55and the reality is ordinary people.
- 42:58People just want to get things done or not going to be managing
- 43:01their private keys and public keys and disseminating them
- 43:05through a key server and let's business to just not going to do
- 43:07that. And so the question is how to
- 43:10get the advantages of public key, cryptography and in Bitcoin
- 43:14analogy is controlling your own keys without exposing the users,
- 43:19to all the burdens of Key Management.
- 43:22It will be done. It.
- 43:23Absolutely will be done. It can be done, has been done
- 43:25before with GP, GP GP and WhatsApp.
- 43:30And so, that's the, that's the locusts that everything needs to
- 43:33be attracted to wear a simple app on your phone.
- 43:38There is wall Satoshi, Samurai wallet, Pine wallet, breathe or
- 43:45Moon? Moon is a very good one.
- 43:46By the way, some one of these wallets will become a billion,
- 43:51user wallet. And if that happens, or when
- 43:55that happens, then everything is going to change.
- 43:58And let's go back to Moon wall, just for a moment.
- 44:01That wallet is a very interesting tool when you
- 44:05receive other lightning on it, or an on Shane.
- 44:08Same transaction, it concatenated, into its added to
- 44:14the balance that shown to your shown one balance and all of the
- 44:17mechanism underneath of how that balance got incremented, is
- 44:21hidden away from you. The wallet takes care of all the
- 44:24thinking for you. So you don't have to think.
- 44:28And if you want to reach a billion people, that's the kind
- 44:31of user experience that has to be put in front of people
- 44:35because I'm sorry to report. They're not going to read books.
- 44:38I'm going to read the manual, they're not going to manage
- 44:41their own keys. They don't care the very very
- 44:43busy. So, if we put something in front
- 44:45of them, we being the people who run Bitcoin businesses like this
- 44:50one here, then the magic can happen, and it can happen in a
- 44:55proper way where people have control of their money.
- 44:59They're not being surveilled, they're not being asked to show
- 45:02their passport, to be able to buy an ice cream with Bitcoin.
- 45:06And the good thing is Can happen.
- 45:09Very important to think about these things and also have an
- 45:11understanding of the history of these tools and how people have
- 45:15struggled to get them into the hands of ordinary people once
- 45:19this happens and this is going to happen in Bitcoin, I
- 45:21guarantee that then the world is going to change and all of the
- 45:26side effects that have been predicted by me and other people
- 45:29are going to come to pass and we're going to be living in a
- 45:31very, very different world to the one that we're living in.
- 45:34Now it's going to be a better world.
- 45:35It's going to be a more polite world even though, We'll be free
- 45:39to say whatever they want. It will be more polite, it will
- 45:42be in, this is actually that's not hard to predict because back
- 45:45in the 1800's Wilco they didn't have released Beach police that
- 45:48they have today and there was a more polite or so things are
- 45:52going to be normalized and they're going to be more
- 45:55advanced and everybody's going to benefit.
- 45:58I think that's a very easy prediction to make.
- 46:01The only question is, what country is going to be the
- 46:03center of Bitcoin? What country is going to be?
- 46:06What jurisdiction is going to be the center of this
- 46:07transformation. Nation.
- 46:08Now our preferred if it was the United States of America because
- 46:12I'm biased but if they decide not to take that crown and put
- 46:17on their Collective heads, then some other countries going to do
- 46:20it and it's going to be, it could be a very strange country
- 46:23for many generations. Caribbean countries were the
- 46:26places where people Incorporated to have these shell corporations
- 46:30and stuff, and they made a lot of money out of it.
- 46:32So, there's no reason why this couldn't happen again with some
- 46:35other jurisdiction, or it might even happen in China.
- 46:38Like that. And I don't think any Americans
- 46:41really want that they want to happen inside America and
- 46:44there's no reason why it should not what they need to do, is to
- 46:48the legislators need to obey the oath.
- 46:50They swore not Embrace crony capitalism and listen to these.
- 46:54Crony capitalism capitalist saying that Bitcoin is bad
- 46:57because bad for the environment, all that kind of other Gulf.
- 47:01And then the people who are running, these companies will
- 47:03just make it happen. Silicon Valley is the home of
- 47:07the social media and everything. Else, there's no reason why it
- 47:09can't be the home of Bitcoin to but that's not going to happen
- 47:12because Bitcoin when it behaves like money has a whole bunch of
- 47:16different incentives aligned with it.
- 47:19And when people have a choice between being surveilled and not
- 47:23being surveilled are going to go for not being surveilled,
- 47:25specially if it's three millimeters away on their phone.
- 47:28So it's very important that the business environment is properly
- 47:33ordered, meaning not regulated so that it people are free to
- 47:37enter Eight make these new businesses succeed, fail, serve
- 47:42people and create the economy that is absolutely inevitable.
- 47:47So, that's really, it's as simple as that.
- 47:50Anybody wants to get anybody who's old should know this, they
- 47:53should know that they should not be misbehaving.
- 47:57Absolutely love it. And Beauty on you.
- 48:00You are you touched on it a few times and we're very big on
- 48:04pushing the idea of self custody being the revolution in Bitcoin
- 48:07and you've added something to our lexicon in and the way that
- 48:10we pushed self custody and it's naming the names of the ethical
- 48:14Bitcoin wallets and having to direct people to the right
- 48:17tools. So could maybe you continue to
- 48:20elaborate on that signal, for the people out there, so we can
- 48:22get those calls of actions. Well, On Twitter, I see people
- 48:29talking about Bitcoin Bitcoin is going to do this Bitcoins going
- 48:31to do that and of course the right but it can't happen unless
- 48:37people using Bitcoin. It can't happen.
- 48:40Unless people are able to get Bitcoin in a trivially easy way.
- 48:45And so if you're if you really want Bitcoin to succeed and the
- 48:50right tools to be the means by which is succeeding, you have to
- 48:54name those tools you have. Name them.
- 48:56You have to send people to go and get these tools and download
- 49:00them onto their phone. So if you have a Twitter account
- 49:03with no 5 million followers and you never mentioned the name of
- 49:08a single Bitcoin wallet, that's weird in my opinion, that's very
- 49:12weird. So I've tried to do a couple of
- 49:17forced means which course never work.
- 49:20To make people list Bitcoin wallets but the ethical Bitcoin
- 49:26wallets and then encourage people whenever they talk about
- 49:31Bitcoin to at least in a thread mention a wallet that they want
- 49:36other people to use. So that there are millions more
- 49:40new installs of all of these wallets so that people have a
- 49:45means to use Bitcoin and it's not just something people talk
- 49:48about it's useful. Up to a point to talk about all
- 49:52the problems that are coming and how they cdc's and blah, blah,
- 49:57blah blah. You can do it till the cows come
- 49:59home. But if you never mention, while
- 50:02Satoshi, Samurai wallet or Moon wallet or any of these Bitcoin
- 50:08wallets that are out there that can actually be the total
- 50:10solution to this who you helping you're not helping anybody.
- 50:14So I wonder sometimes. If these people even use Bitcoin
- 50:17themselves, I don't know. But to me, if you're talking
- 50:22about any kind of tool as a means to solving a problem and
- 50:27you will not show people where that tool is, you've got a
- 50:31problem, you've got a problem and you need to stop it and you
- 50:35need to think about helping your followers and it to me, it's
- 50:40very, very simple. The Bitcoin can't do anything,
- 50:44just because you talk about it, people have to use Bitcoin and
- 50:48of course, use Bitcoin means. Any use that you put it too.
- 50:53If you want to save your money and Bitcoins some future date,
- 50:56that's using Bitcoin. If you want to go to the store
- 50:59and spend with it, that using Bitcoin, if you want to use it
- 51:02for sending money from across across the world, or putting a
- 51:06million dollars in your brain to go across the border.
- 51:09All of that is using Bitcoin, there's no one way to use
- 51:12Bitcoin, but if people don't have the tools don't have, the
- 51:16means that that nobody can use it.
- 51:18Bitcoin isn't a club Mother is not a social club.
- 51:22It's not, it's not a community, it's a tool.
- 51:26And if people are not using that tool, that's not good.
- 51:29So our mission here as that goes to get as many people using
- 51:33Bitcoin as possible, making it trivially easy for people to get
- 51:38Bitcoin and by stripping away. All the complexity we've managed
- 51:43to do that in a very, very big way and the best Bitcoin wallets
- 51:47are going to be the ones that understand what A consumer is on
- 51:52the WhatsApp level, meaning that it has to be a simple as what's
- 51:55that, perhaps even simpler so that anybody can just download
- 52:00it, use it. And then that's it.
- 52:02Now, those warts and these people are not bad people,
- 52:05they're just not at an advanced stage of development.
- 52:08These people who release tools that force you to record the
- 52:13mnemonic before, you can even receive any Bitcoin that's
- 52:17anti-consumer. So you know, you wonder How many
- 52:20people do you want to be using your tool?
- 52:23Do you want 100 million people to be using your tool?
- 52:27Or do you only want a few thousand to be using it?
- 52:29This is, these are the immediate questions that come to mind that
- 52:32aren't they? No, they're uncomfortable
- 52:33questions but somebody's got to ask them.
- 52:36Somebody's got to say, why aren't you talking about Bitcoin
- 52:39wallets? Why aren't you pointing people
- 52:41to pick what you say? You're a Bitcoin Enthusiast, you
- 52:43say your for Bitcoin, you're safe with you for the aims of
- 52:46Bitcoin, but won't Point anybody to the tools that will make it
- 52:49happen. This Is double think this is a
- 52:52misalignment of behavior and desired outcome.
- 52:57You've got to be the change that you want to become eligible,
- 53:01become the change. You want to be or whatever it
- 53:03is. And if you're not promoting
- 53:06Bitcoin wallets I put it to you you're not a real big corner and
- 53:11on your just larper your larper. You're playing at Bitcoin you
- 53:15think it's about Twitter. You think it's about a
- 53:16community? It's not and nobody is helped by
- 53:19doing this. We all About this poor guy in
- 53:21Iran just been arrested, just because you using Bitcoin, you
- 53:25know, this is very serious. This is very, very serious and
- 53:28in the Bitcoin future where everybody's using Bitcoin things
- 53:32like that will happen. Less often a lot less often
- 53:34maybe even never. So do you want to get to that
- 53:37world quickly or do you want to wait and let more people suffer
- 53:41because you can't be bothered to recommend one Bitcoin wallet?
- 53:46To me? It's very perplexing.
- 53:47But that's just me. Wow.
- 53:51I think, I think you said it perfectly the in, this is
- 53:54something that we advocate for on the show, right itself.
- 53:56Custody is the revolution. That is the, that is the change.
- 54:00If you look at on a fun on a very fundamental level human
- 54:04beings have always outsourced the responsibility of their
- 54:07wealth which is given a few, a tremendous amount of power over
- 54:11everybody else. How do you effectuate change?
- 54:14You get millions upon Millions upon individual Millions upon
- 54:18Millions upon millions of individuals holding Their own
- 54:21wealth and they do that with proper key management.
- 54:24And I think Beauty on you really hit the nail on the head, it
- 54:28falls to developers in some way that they have to hide the
- 54:32complexity of that. Key storage of that wallet
- 54:36behind a very nice user interface but still provide the
- 54:41same benefits of self custody, right?
- 54:43And I think that that is really key and I fundamentally agree, I
- 54:47think someone who is, you know, an older person.
- 54:50Right? Perhaps they just don't have an
- 54:52interest in learning how to properly store and manage Keys.
- 54:58That's exactly right. And why should they have an
- 54:59interest in that they shouldn't? And you know, a lot of these
- 55:02companies who are cash strapped, of course, they can't afford to
- 55:07bring in a focus group and to test what their interfaces work
- 55:11like in front of real people, which is, of course, what Apple
- 55:14does it was on the companies they have the money to do that,
- 55:17they put their applications and tools in front of real people.
- 55:20See how they how they work. So there's a lot of people
- 55:24making assumptions about what a user wants, what a typical user
- 55:28is and that is a measure of their ambition.
- 55:32If you see people putting all the bells and whistles in their
- 55:35wallet right in front of the user, or even before user can
- 55:38even receive a transaction. You can tell these people are
- 55:41not consumer oriented. And of course let's be
- 55:45absolutely fully clear tools that do that are useful for the
- 55:50people. Who need them and they should be
- 55:51developed and they should be released and you should be able
- 55:54to use them if you want to use them, I'm talking about a very
- 55:57narrow gamut of Bitcoin user which even though it's narrow
- 56:04has a billion people in that narrow Corridor.
- 56:08And in order to reach those people, you're not going to be
- 56:11able to do it with the hardcore technical Bitcoin aspects.
- 56:17You're not going to be able to do it at best at most you to
- 56:20show. The balance and two buttons,
- 56:23send and receive, and that's it. And anything more than that is
- 56:27too much. I've spent many years we used to
- 56:30have a store in central London. Goulston Street where we were
- 56:34testing the Aztec. Oh system.
- 56:36And the people coming in, were just ordinary people and they
- 56:41have literally no idea how anything works.
- 56:44It's very, very difficult. First of all, to describe to
- 56:47them, what Bitcoin is why it's good for them.
- 56:50And then to get them to download a wallet and then you know,
- 56:54onboard them with the voucher, you know, we were talking about
- 56:57something super super super incomprehensible to most people.
- 57:01That's why anything, anything as technical anything that's scary
- 57:05must be completely. Eviscerated must be completely
- 57:07erased from the the process. Otherwise, you're not going to
- 57:11get them to use it, it's a simple as that.
- 57:14And then, once that happens when billions of people using
- 57:16Bitcoin, you'll see in newspapers magazines, they'll be
- 57:19QR. Everywhere you get tired of
- 57:22seeing QR codes everywhere because the Bitcoin
- 57:24transformation will have happened but will be better off
- 57:27for. And so if that's the price, the
- 57:29price of being bored of seeing QR codes is the price of big,
- 57:33I'll pay that price. Oh, man, amazing amazing.
- 57:38You're absolutely blown my mind today I often, what do you
- 57:41think? I think we should continue with
- 57:43the culture. This is really good
- 57:44conversation. One more, I mean, I have a whole
- 57:46bunch over here, but we got let me article right here.
- 57:49Let me do the Let me do the God real quick and represent since
- 57:52we're not sorry for for Cipher safe since we're not doing the
- 57:56the mean review. Anyways guys don't store your
- 57:59seed on paper paper is prone to water damage.
- 58:02Fire damage, dog attacks don't lose your generational wealth
- 58:06because you didn't store your Bitcoins seed on steel and
- 58:10there's no better place to do it.
- 58:11Then the Cipher wheel or the cipher grid by Cipher, say check
- 58:16out the link down below. You definitely don't want to
- 58:19lose your Bitcoin. He has he lost it in a fire or
- 58:23water that would suck. Anyways Opti take it away.
- 58:26Super high signal show today and also I added I had a few more
- 58:30articles that I love from Beauty on in the show notes guys.
- 58:33So you guys can definitely read them for yourself, but here's
- 58:36one that I think people should read and we say this all the
- 58:39time that the Bitcoin price doesn't matter.
- 58:42There's only one one way of this game going on in its pure
- 58:45adoption of Bitcoin. So maybe Beauty on, you can jump
- 58:48in and elaborate more and then we can roll.
- 58:50This one out. Well the the price of Bitcoin
- 58:53doesn't matter at all because if you're going to use Bitcoin for
- 58:57sending money from A to B, if you do it quickly enough, the
- 59:01price of Bitcoin fluctuating doesn't have any effect on it.
- 59:04So in that youth case, if you have a business that's probably
- 59:07designed the pick, one price is irrelevant because you're using
- 59:10it as a money transport. And that was the thrust of that
- 59:14article that it is possible to make a business model that
- 59:19eliminates the Price. Fluctuation as a factor in
- 59:23anybody's use Bitcoin. So if anybody can look for, I
- 59:27can imagine a use case like that that means there must be a lot
- 59:31of other ones that I haven't imagined.
- 59:33And it just means that people have to spend the time to
- 59:35develop them so we can't throw out Bitcoin and say that it's
- 59:39useless. No good like that.
- 59:41Very silly Jemima woman said under on the stage of the day
- 59:44because it's volatile now and if you see in a graph of the
- 59:48Bitcoin volatility over time, It's going down like this or
- 59:51like 45 degrees So eventually it the volatility is going to get
- 59:55to essentially zero and so in order to get there, you've got
- 59:58to build these businesses right now.
- 1:00:00You got to start building thinking about them testing
- 1:00:02them, putting them in front of the public and as Bitcoin
- 1:00:05spreads and becomes the money, then one Bitcoin equals one
- 1:00:09Bitcoin. And, you know, a fraction of
- 1:00:11Bitcoin equal to sneaker today. Tomorrow, and six months from
- 1:00:15now and even years from now, that means you can save your
- 1:00:19stored wealth in Bitcoin with the sure knowledge that went in
- 1:00:24the future, you want to spend it.
- 1:00:26It's going to be able to buy the same amount that you stored at
- 1:00:31the beginning. And there are a couple of nice
- 1:00:33charts out there in the world that showed that a cow the price
- 1:00:37of a cow when priced in bitten in a gold at been the same for
- 1:00:43thousands of years. So this is going to happen in
- 1:00:48Bitcoin where the price of good It's over many, many, many
- 1:00:52decades is unchanging, and that's what happens when you
- 1:00:55have a sound money in place in the market and of course,
- 1:00:59Bitcoin is better than go because it's mathematical and
- 1:01:02not chemical. So that's the thrust behind that
- 1:01:06article. Don't keep monitoring one about
- 1:01:08the price. The price is irrelevant.
- 1:01:11That Bitcoin actually is, is what's important that you can go
- 1:01:15and download it yourself. Be wrong Bank, quote unquote
- 1:01:19with send and receive money back.
- 1:01:20Anybody's permission is continuously, that's what
- 1:01:23matters and I don't know about anybody else but if you've been
- 1:01:27signing up for bank accounts in the last five years, it is the
- 1:01:30most onerous invasive, horrible and disgusting process
- 1:01:34imaginable with Bitcoin. All that goes away, all you have
- 1:01:39to do is download one of the ethical Bitcoin apps or download
- 1:01:43Bitcoin core. If you're that hardcore and
- 1:01:46instantaneously you can send money from Your laptop, or your
- 1:01:51desktop, to anybody, anywhere in the world, in any amount and the
- 1:01:56amount of Bitcoin you have is up to you and how you perform in a
- 1:01:59Services, you give to others in the free market who could
- 1:02:02possibly be against that, it's all good.
- 1:02:06All the time. So it's very important not to be
- 1:02:09distracted by the naysayers, the computer, illiterates the
- 1:02:15frightened rabbits, the people who have be a history Degree and
- 1:02:21who work for the financial times?
- 1:02:23We don't know anything at all. No honestly this you look these
- 1:02:27people up. They all have the wrong degrees
- 1:02:30and you notice that they never get articles written by anybody
- 1:02:34who's actually in Bitcoin who actually knows they're talking
- 1:02:36about to write in the financial times.
- 1:02:39Because they know you let these people out into the financial
- 1:02:42times writing something that makes irrefutable sense.
- 1:02:45It's going to damage the reputation of the flesh tones
- 1:02:48because they won't be able to To justify all the bad things
- 1:02:52they've been writing for ages. And also since I started this
- 1:02:57idea that there is two sides to every story that journalistic
- 1:03:02objectivity applies, to math is insane.
- 1:03:07Hmm, there is no objectivity in math.
- 1:03:09One plus one equals two, it always equals two.
- 1:03:13It never equals anything else and Bitcoin is just math.
- 1:03:18It's not money. It's man.
- 1:03:20On a database. And so there is no objective,
- 1:03:23there's no two sides to it. There's no objectivity that you
- 1:03:28can apply to it saying it's not math.
- 1:03:30It is my, it is exactly what it is all the time, it never
- 1:03:34changes. And so if you try and bring this
- 1:03:37journalistic objectivity and Nuance of perspective doctrine
- 1:03:41of this, the 2022, it doesn't work.
- 1:03:44It doesn't work with math because math isn't like that and
- 1:03:47that's the problem. When you have these liberal arts
- 1:03:50It's journalists trying to write about mathematics they're not
- 1:03:55qualified to understand mathematics.
- 1:03:57They don't understand the fundamental ideas in mathematics
- 1:04:01that it's not about it's not about speculation is not a
- 1:04:04science actually not even a science because it's not about
- 1:04:07Theory. Math is about facts and Bitcoin
- 1:04:10because it's based only on math is about facts and this is
- 1:04:13what's been missing in the money creation systems of the world,
- 1:04:18since we're not the ghost. And the world went off of the
- 1:04:21gold standard that money isn't based on facts anymore but now,
- 1:04:26because the Bitcoin money is based on facts, it's based on
- 1:04:30facts even more so than the old money that used to be based on
- 1:04:34gold because the supply is literally fixed.
- 1:04:38There's not going to be. You can't go out and discover
- 1:04:40new gold mines and stuff like that.
- 1:04:42It's absolutely fixed. It's like a measure on a ruler
- 1:04:46and I happen to have a ruler right here, and As you can see
- 1:04:50here, their interest on here. These inches on this ruler don't
- 1:04:54change over time. They don't they don't get longer
- 1:04:57and inches and inch and a centimeter is CM.
- 1:05:01And that's what's been brought to bitcoin is an absolutely
- 1:05:05fundamental unchangeable measure of value that you can use this
- 1:05:10database for and this is the fundamental change that the
- 1:05:14Gutenberg Press. That's being brought to
- 1:05:16economics. It's never existed before and so
- 1:05:20Even if you don't like it. Man doesn't go forward by being
- 1:05:26frightened. If this really is a new thing, a
- 1:05:30new thing has never been seen before that could cause
- 1:05:33beneficial effects for the entire world, including the
- 1:05:38effect of eliminating waste of the consumer Society.
- 1:05:41This is something that needs to be treated.
- 1:05:43Very, very, very carefully. It's not something to be
- 1:05:46frightened of. It's like saying you shouldn't
- 1:05:48send probes to Mars because the Martians might get angry and
- 1:05:52they Come in The Vedas, it's just not the way it works.
- 1:05:57So all these people who are frightened of Bitcoin, they need
- 1:06:02to be quiet. They need to be quiet and stop
- 1:06:06interfering with the activities of free people who are using
- 1:06:09this new ruler to measure things that they want to measure.
- 1:06:13That's all they're doing. And so, if you don't like it,
- 1:06:16well, you're free. Not to like, it's not, you know,
- 1:06:19some people don't like strawberries, nobody's gonna
- 1:06:21Force to eat them and there we go.
- 1:06:23To force you to use Bitcoin, either.
- 1:06:25You can't come and tell us not to use me.
- 1:06:28That's what you need to understand.
- 1:06:30We're not going to stop using Bitcoin because you're
- 1:06:32frightened of it. It's not going to happen.
- 1:06:35If we fail. If the fundamental premise and
- 1:06:39ideas behind Bitcoin are wrong and we fail, well, we are the
- 1:06:43ones who fail to know you and you the fuel system will carry
- 1:06:46on and good luck to you. And if we're right then we have
- 1:06:49changed the world for the better and guess.
- 1:06:53You can come along for free that is super, super fascinating and
- 1:06:59and like that. It's so true because they're
- 1:07:01their usual way of coercing people through accumulating
- 1:07:05enough, political willpower, to capture the government, the
- 1:07:09Monopoly on violence to force the other side, what to do,
- 1:07:13right and Bitcoin world that doesn't work, right?
- 1:07:16It's individuals making their own decision, regardless of what
- 1:07:20the people in power, have to say on how they They want to save
- 1:07:23their wealth and because it's Bitcoin.
- 1:07:26They can't censor it. They can't steal it.
- 1:07:29And they can't the base it. And I think that's the beauty of
- 1:07:31this guy's show ran a little bit long ago.
- 1:07:34Let's get to the software the site by bitcoiners, so that we
- 1:07:38can plug. Azteca.
- 1:07:40All right, let's do it. Websites.
- 1:07:46Hi guys, I'm not going to do this.
- 1:07:48Justice will give it to Beauty on but this is one of my
- 1:07:50favorite sites out here to get as Beauty on.
- 1:07:53Oh, he says, ethical Bitcoin. I use this site regularly and I
- 1:07:58think it's one of the best. So maybe Beauty on you could
- 1:08:00give give a give the people The Rundown that aren't familiar
- 1:08:03with us. Tech on will roll this one out
- 1:08:04today. Well, as TECO is the pushed up
- 1:08:07working on now for about eight years and it's the way to get
- 1:08:12Bitcoin when you think about Bitcoin correctly.
- 1:08:15So you go into Whether that's tackle Outlet of which there are
- 1:08:19200,000 in South Africa and 200,000 in Brazil, believe not
- 1:08:24everywhere in Brazil where you can buy a lottery ticket, you
- 1:08:27can buy the sticker voucher, you pay some money, and then you get
- 1:08:31a 16 digit voucher code or an Ln URL.
- 1:08:34And then, when you get the Ln URL, you scan it with one of
- 1:08:37your own URL enabled wallets. And then in three seconds, you
- 1:08:41get the Bitcoin that's it. There's no signing up is no
- 1:08:46ownerís. Invasive nonsense.
- 1:08:48It's just like topping up your mobile phone.
- 1:08:49Most of the people on Earth don't have phone accounts to
- 1:08:53make phone calls. They pay as you go.
- 1:08:56And so we superimpose that model on to bitcoin and so we can
- 1:09:01reach the same demographic of people who top up their Mobile
- 1:09:06phones on an ad hoc basis and there are a lot of people who do
- 1:09:09that and so we're finding this is a very popular service.
- 1:09:13We have some mega mega announcements that are I can't
- 1:09:17talk about right now, but this is going to be the universal way
- 1:09:20people buy Bitcoin for billions of people, and that's not a
- 1:09:24boast. So if you go onto the website,
- 1:09:29you can see that. We have a pay in person option.
- 1:09:33And we also have a map showing where all of the outlets are
- 1:09:38Canada should be on next week, we hope and that's it.
- 1:09:42This is a service. That's true to the nature of
- 1:09:45Bitcoin. We don't abuse our users and we
- 1:09:50worked very hard on it, and we're going to do it, man.
- 1:09:54It's amazing. It's all and for those
- 1:09:56listening, and that's Azteca, lazy, t e.com for you guys that
- 1:10:01are underwear. That's exactly right.
- 1:10:02And I just saw there, they have Ned back, which is a bank in
- 1:10:05the, in South Africa. There are three million people
- 1:10:08in South Africa, who have nedbank time bank accounts on
- 1:10:11them on their mobile phones and they can buy a stack of vouchers
- 1:10:14from their nedbank, or time back.
- 1:10:16Right inside the mobile phone so we are on a push for education
- 1:10:21so that people can understand why Bitcoin is good for them.
- 1:10:24Why they should use it. And as this knowledge begins to
- 1:10:28spread their going to go to the easiest place to get it and as
- 1:10:32take out is the easiest place to get Bitcoin right now.
