- 0:393.5 million. Average, viewers per episode
- 0:44second to Joe Rogan, right? And he was covering it, but it's
- 0:48interesting a couple things that are happening at the same time,
- 0:50right? We know how the B Administration
- 0:53feels about the industry. We've been covering operation
- 0:56choke point 2.0 for the last couple months, and we also know
- 1:03how they took advantage of the FTX blow up.
- 1:07The banking in security to justify a lot of Actions right
- 1:12to in the hopes of isolating or stopping the adoption of Bitcoin
- 1:16at least in the United States, right?
- 1:18Was just something very similar right there, taking advantage of
- 1:21tick-tock, which a lot of people, you know, think of
- 1:24tick-tock as this like, you know, secret Chinese Gap that's
- 1:29like, brainwashing people all over America, which, you know,
- 1:32maybe that's true. But I'll tell you this.
- 1:34Do we really want to live in a country where the government is
- 1:37deciding, what apps you can download.
- 1:40And what apps, you Not download, not to mention all the powers
- 1:45that this bestows, if this act passes, this bestows an
- 1:49unelected bureaucrat in the US government.
- 1:53Keep in mind this is not a partisan act like this isn't
- 1:57like the Elizabeth Warren that was introduced.
- 1:59That Elizabeth Warren act that has introduced this is
- 2:01bipartisan. So there's Republicans and
- 2:03Democrats that are signed up to this thing.
- 2:05It's pretty scary, the language and it will affect Bitcoin the
- 2:09way that it's phrase, which makes you think which makes you
- 2:13think, right? Was this just another perfect?
- 2:16Excuse. We know how the administration
- 2:18feels about this about feels about the industry.
- 2:21Take a look at the Presidential or, you know, the White House
- 2:25economic report, right? They dedicated 20 pages to
- 2:29making the case as to why Central Banking is necessary.
- 2:33You know why Bitcoin feels as a currency and why you need a
- 2:36state to have a currency, right? So, you know, again, I always
- 2:41say this lots of coincidences, lots of things happening, you
- 2:45know, at very similar time so we have the breakdown for you guys.

- 5:51today. Opt he's ex girlfriend,
- 5:54Christine Lagarde saying the quiet part out loud.
- 5:57But before we play that actually want to play, you guys a video
- 6:02of you know, just I think they got a Zoomer and I think she's
- 6:07convincing people to use the digital Euro.
- 6:12I want to play that for you guys and we'll talk about and then
- 6:14we'll listen to what Chris Christie has to say.
- 6:17Let's check it out. One year ago, we started
- 6:20exploring what I digital Europe I may look like I research isn't
- 6:24complete yet but here's what we can already tell you about the
- 6:27digital Euro. One, you would be able to make
- 6:31payments quickly and safely. How is that different from the
- 6:35way people currently pay? Well, with the digital Euro,
- 6:39you'd be using the safest money available because it be should
- 6:42buy us the European Central Bank.
- 6:45To you could pay digitally in physical shops, or online across
- 6:49all Euro area countries and three your privacy.
- 6:53Good be protected to the greatest extent possible.
- 6:56In fact D, CB is not interested in what you Pay for, we wouldn't
- 7:00have access to the personal data of the people.
- 7:03Making the payments want to know more, click on the link, I don't
- 7:07believe them. I don't believe them at all.
- 7:10And then, why are they doing this?
- 7:12Well let's let's take a look at what opt is ex-girlfriend has to
- 7:14say. Where Do We Stand?
- 7:18We Central Bankers. We have been operating as a
- 7:21monetary anchor in relation to the commercial Banks and the
- 7:24private money. If we are not in that game, if
- 7:27we are not involved in experimenting, in innovating, in
- 7:31terms of digital central bank money, we risk losing the role
- 7:37of Anchor that we have played for many many decades and we
- 7:43have historical examples of period where the Central Bank.
- 7:47Monetary anchor was not there and that precipitated crisis
- 7:53after crisis that certainly was the case at the time of the Free
- 7:56banking in the 19th century. Do we want to go back to those
- 7:59days? Probably not.
- 8:01I would say, certainly not from our Vantage Point, as a result
- 8:04of which we have to respond to the demand for those digital
- 8:07payment in order. Her to maintain the role of
- 8:10anchor that we have been playing regularly.
- 8:13I don't know about you guys but like fuck their anchor bro,
- 8:17that's just sucks. But no seriously.
- 8:23It's so funny you know, they get they try to play the Zoomer type
- 8:27of thing where they do a vertical video and it's like
- 8:29user CBD. See currency, it's great.
- 8:32They do like the cutting frame and the thing and then like
- 8:35she's like getting up from a seat to, like, make it seem
- 8:37organic but it totally doesn't feel like it's organic.
- 8:40But yeah, what are the claims that she made?
- 8:43She's like, we will respect your privacy.
- 8:45The other one was, this is the safest money, you know, you
- 8:49could try Trust you could trust us the European Central Bank and
- 8:52then like a response to Chrissy, right?
- 8:54It's like look like I don't know about you guys but I don't I
- 8:57don't trust that like I don't you know I serve Central Banking
- 9:01hasn't served me, right? Maybe if you are an owner of
- 9:05assets like you know, real estate, you know, equities
- 9:09whatever, but the vast majority of people, especially if you're
- 9:11under the 30 age of 35, this system hasn't served, you very
- 9:17well very well, right? So like, what It would like, you
- 9:20know, perhaps they want to talk about, you know, maintaining
- 9:24their own Mo and maintaining their privileges.
- 9:27But you know, the rest of us, I just want to use money.
- 9:30That doesn't steal from me. I just want I want money that
- 9:34isn't designed to lose purchasing power over time.
- 9:37That's what I want, right? This isn't about the efficiency
- 9:40of payments as much as they would like to distract you on
- 9:43what the actual Revolution is. The actual Revolution is
- 9:46individuals being able to save without the The fear of wealth
- 9:50confiscation, either that's through inflated like inflation
- 9:55or tyrannical government. That's what it's about.
- 9:57They always avoid that. They always avoid that
- 9:59conversation. It's not about efficiency of
- 10:02payments, it's about inflation. It's about the fact that money
- 10:06shouldn't steal from you. Anyways.
- 10:08Clear on what are your thoughts and then we'll pass it on to
- 10:10Opti. I mean I you know I think
- 10:12technology-wise of course going to be the Natural Evolution.
- 10:15They want to do fast payments, whatever it is that they're
- 10:17trying to do but it's the narrative, you know, that's
- 10:20That's what gets me about this Al's.
- 10:21Like they're trying to kind of latch onto this narrative, this,
- 10:24you know, whatever, crypto narrative, whatever, they're
- 10:26trying to do, but it's this like weird narrative and then
- 10:29throwing in privacy in there like private from who.
- 10:32Exactly. Yeah.
- 10:33Maybe there's some sort of privacy enhancements built in
- 10:36there but not from the government's, that's for sure.
- 10:38There's, there's no way that they're building privacy
- 10:41directly into that. And like you mentioned, it's
- 10:43just what, what are they solving, you know, instead of
- 10:46trying to solve the issue that we are seeing globally with
- 10:49these banking? Isis.
- 10:50You know, these banking's are these banks are melting due to
- 10:52these policies. They're, you know, they're
- 10:55focusing on this, like, oh, we got to make it fast.
- 10:57We got to do this. We got to do that.
- 10:58And that's that's not the issue that we're having today.
- 11:01In the economy is this quick payments, you know, 100% And
- 11:05like that's what they want you to focus on.
- 11:06It's like it's about the payments know.
- 11:08Chrissy is not about the payments anyways Opti, what are
- 11:11your thoughts on this bro? Well first and foremost shooter,
- 11:15what did you do to her that she's so vengeful first and
- 11:19foremost Up to everyone in the chat.
- 11:21Advocate controlled heavy right now.
- 11:23But anyways, in regards to the video I think it's very
- 11:26interesting to see the narrative stance that they're taking here,
- 11:30you know, the digital Euro. Safe is currency.
- 11:33It's all about quick digital payments, you know, verbatim
- 11:36quote, we're not interested in what you pay for like the fact
- 11:40that they have to what I say it all the time.
- 11:43Nothing is more official than the official denial and as
- 11:46anyone of us bitcoiners that know, And follows along with
- 11:50what's going on. It is very clear that this is
- 11:53exactly what they want. I mean, Christine Lagarde said
- 11:56it herself, you know, we risk losing the role of anchor AKA
- 11:59they risk losing control. So what does that mean to anyone
- 12:03that still has a working brain? It's that literally they want
- 12:07they want to know everything you're doing with your money so
- 12:09that they can shut you off of the system.
- 12:11If you don't behave correctly, you know, back to the whole
- 12:14social credit score stuff that they're trying to push out on
- 12:18everyone. The fact that day it seems I'm
- 12:22being you know a little hopeful it seems like there's a
- 12:25controlled demolition in the financial system right now so
- 12:28that they can push you towards a CBC.
- 12:30And, you know, you put those two things together, social credit
- 12:33score with a money that they fully control, you know, bring
- 12:38out all the all the Zoomers you want.
- 12:39But I think people inherently understand or at least will
- 12:43understand that. Hey, there is Bitcoin and there
- 12:46is slavery and if you're falling into the CB DC trap you're
- 12:50falling into the ease of convenience.
- 12:52You may be losing a lot more than you know just paper money
- 12:57going into the future. You might probably be losing
- 13:00everything about your current life and all the freedoms that
- 13:03you enjoy. Like you know I hate I hate
- 13:05falling into and I I keep forgetting what the law is.
- 13:09I think it's I'm not going to I'm not even going to attempt to
- 13:12name the law but assuming that everyone is working nefariously
- 13:18or you know with evil intentions And I think sometimes it's
- 13:21something that has bitcoiners always fall into.
- 13:24I really do believe that these people think they're doing what
- 13:26is best for the economy. Obviously, they have their own
- 13:29biases and they're doing, what's best for themselves and their
- 13:32friends. But I really do think that the
- 13:34hubris always seeps out in these conversations in the like, this
- 13:38is, what's the best for all of us?
- 13:39Because you know, what's good for me is good for you and as a
- 13:43Bitcoin or someone that is very big on individualism, it's like
- 13:47luck. All right, I understand where
- 13:49you're buying. Ice is coming from, yes, your
- 13:51life will get dismantled, you should be worried about risking
- 13:56losing control because that opens up a whole new world.
- 13:59For all of us is bitcoiners. And that's the world that we
- 14:01want to seize world. That we don't have a small group
- 14:04of people controlling us. And, you know, that's terrifying
- 14:07for these people and they can pull out all the propaganda they
- 14:10want, but hey, we will continue some some good propaganda, bro.
- 14:15You know, it's some good there. They're trying to move with the
- 14:17times, you know, they got the Shorties, they got the Vertical
- 14:20videos, you know, they got they got the it clearly, it's a
- 14:23script it's prepared. We won't spy on you.
- 14:26You could trust central bank money is the safest money
- 14:29around. It's all, you know, they're
- 14:31getting with the times, bro. The getting with the times
- 14:34brother. Their me Maddox are catching up

- 15:38The infamous restrict act introduced by Senator Mark
- 15:42Warner. A Democrat from Virginia.
- 15:47The name of the bill specifically is called s 686.
- 15:51It was also introduced by Senator thune mrs.

- 16:00Senator Moran, Senator Bennet, Senator Molly Van Zeller
- 16:04gillibrand, Senator Collins, Senator Heinrich, Senator,
- 16:08Romney, and senator keep toe cap toe.
- 16:13Maybe I pronounced that incorrectly.
- 16:15Anyways, I want to read you a passage that a Bitcoin was kind
- 16:18enough to highlight shout-out bit pain.
- 16:22It goes on to say, if the restrict act or quote, unquote
- 16:25Tick-Tock ban passes, it will be used to attempt a bent on
- 16:29bitcoin. Have any of you actually read
- 16:31the text of this bill, this isn't about Tick-Tock.
- 16:34This gives the executive branch total control to police.
- 16:37The internet wake up goes on to say.
- 16:40In general, the secretary in consultation with the relative
- 16:43executive department and agency heads.
- 16:45As heads is authorized to and shall take action to identify
- 16:48deter disrupt, prevent prohibit investigate.
- 16:52And otherwise, mitigate including by negotiating
- 16:55entering, into imposing, and enforcing any mitigation measure
- 16:59to address any risk arising from any covered transaction by any
- 17:03person or with or with respect to any property subject to the
- 17:08jurisdiction of the United States that the secretary that
- 17:11the secretary determines On to say possesses an undo or
- 17:17unacceptable risk sabotage or subversion of design Integrity,

- 17:30In the United States. Be catastrophic events on the
- 17:33security resilience of the critical infrastructure or
- 17:36digital economy of the United States.
- 17:39Like, you know, how could you say that this won't be used
- 17:43against Bitcoin? Okay.
- 17:45It's like the language is is damning, shout-out to know, be
- 17:48as Bitcoin did a great job. Summarizing a lot of the points
- 17:52in the bill. So this dropped March 27. 2023
- 17:56says, restrict act, a sweeping National Security.
- 17:58Tick-Tock band includes 250k fan fine if you access a band site
- 18:04or service, the restrict act has been garnering.
- 18:07Bipartisan momentum in the Senate as well as backing from
- 18:10the B Administration. This is the same B
- 18:12Administration that we know how they feel about Bitcoin.
- 18:15As he workable solution to address, the emergent risk posed
- 18:18by Foreign information Communications and Technology
- 18:21products, and services to National Security.
- 18:24The legislation calls on the security Secretary of Commerce
- 18:27to quote, take action to identify deter disrupt prevent
- 18:31prohibit investigate and otherwise mitigate dealings
- 18:34involving u.s. persons. And Technology from countries,
- 18:37believe to pose a risk to National Security organizations
- 18:40under their control. The bill identifies six, foreign
- 18:43adversaries, at present Uh, Cuba Iran, North Korea, Russia, and
- 18:47Venezuela, a foreign government or regime is decks.
- 18:50It is designated as a foreign adversary.
- 18:53If the secretary finds that it is, quote, is engaged in a
- 18:56long-term pattern or serious instances of contacts and
- 19:00significantly adverse to the National Security of the United
- 19:03States or security and safety of the United States persons.
- 19:06The term transactions means any acquisition, and from
- 19:09importation, transfer installation dealing in, or use
- 19:14of any technology. Any information or

- 19:19ongoing activities, such as managed Services data
- 19:23transmission, software updates repairs or the provision of data

- 19:30The restrict act authorizes the US government agencies to block
- 19:34technology deemed and undo or unacceptable risk to National
- 19:38Security that technology includes quote apps already on
- 19:42our phones. Important parts of Internet
- 19:44infrastructure. Sure and software that underpins
- 19:47critical infrastructure, if they have access to sensitive,
- 19:50personal data, or more than 1 million people in the u.s.
- 19:53they're covered by this bill. The new bill also covers
- 19:56emerging Technologies including artificial intelligence, a
- 20:00Quantum, Computing and Communications biotechnology and
- 20:02e-commerce. The Attorney General may bring
- 20:05an action in appropriate District Court of the United
- 20:07States for appropriate relief, including declaratory, and
- 20:10injunctive, or this vestment. Des Des Des Schmitt relief
- 20:16against any person who violence is act or any regulation, order
- 20:19Direction mitigation measure prohibition, or other
- 20:22authorization or directive issued under this act, the US
- 20:25Department of Justice. Presumably will be a key law
- 20:29enforcement partner for the Secretary of Commerce.
- 20:32The restrict act outlines unlawful acts that can result in
- 20:36civil or criminal penalties. Those unlawful acts include both
- 20:40direct, validations of quote, any regulation order Direction,
- 20:45Ation matter prohibition or other authorization or directive
- 20:49issued under it? Holy cow.
- 20:51I mean dude. Dude, I don't see how this won't
- 20:59like if they're in a pickle. If the keyword, the I think the
- 21:03key word there is if they're in a pickle, if they're in a pinch,
- 21:06what what's to stop them? To say?
- 21:09If you're using money, that helps their stops.
- 21:13You from being stolen from via inflation.
- 21:17That's not a threat to National Security, keep in mind, right?
- 21:20Remember what happened in the 30s with the 9610 to order?
- 21:24You know, because the US was in an emergency so to speak, so to
- 21:28speak, right? During the Great Depression,
- 21:30FDR, you know, made it illegal for American citizens to hold a
- 21:34metal to hold gold, right? So, I mean is it too crazy to
- 21:39say that they'll say hey having a Bitcoin wallet on your phone?
- 21:43We already know what the wording from Elizabeth Warren was like
- 21:47basically saying, hey look look at Russia, they're using Bitcoin
- 21:50to facilitate International Trade, their circumventing us
- 21:54sanctions using an open monetary Network, who's to say that, you
- 21:58know, who's to say that they won't turn around and use the
- 22:03powers that are in this bill that give the executive branch
- 22:07give a lot to be frank, an unelected bureaucrat because the
- 22:10Secretary of Commerce, I don't think she's elected or he's
- 22:13elected right there appointed by the president.
- 22:16They give them, you know, a tremendous amount of power.
- 22:18And they look this app is okay, this app is not okay, the
- 22:22wording there is All encompassing.
- 22:25This is crazy. This is it.
- 22:26This is a huge overreach and I don't think it's a coincidence
- 22:30that they included wording in that bill that can Encompass
- 22:35Bitcoin. I don't think that's a
- 22:37coincidence, right? Especially with what the things
- 22:39that we know are happen. It happening with operation
- 22:42chokepoint 2.0. Anyways, that's my take.
- 22:45Maybe I'm a paranoid Bitcoin. ER, but Lee Ron.
- 22:48Do you see what we see? Or we just crazy.
- 22:50No, I mean, absolutely. Do you you made a perfect point?
- 22:53I mean, it's Far overreaching and it's not, there's nothing
- 22:56specific in the bill, that targets, you know, specific
- 22:59company, or specific action, or specific, anything like that.
- 23:02Like you mentioned, it's an unelected official official.
- 23:04It's an Administration that gets to decide, you know what is?
- 23:08Okay, and what is not, okay, on the internet.
- 23:09We're effectively, you know, the thing that we've been attacking
- 23:12China for so long, the Great Wall of China, Great, firewall
- 23:15of China and all this stuff, freedom of speech.
- 23:18We're not doing the same thing to our own people and we're
- 23:21finding the people that we want to protect it.
- 23:24They happen to want to access, whatever information is deemed
- 23:27not. Okay.
- 23:28And it's just, it's sad. Sad to see all of the work
- 23:30that's been put even by parts of the, you know, the US government
- 23:33themselves tour came out of, you know, the US government
- 23:37effectively initially, and it's sad to see the idea of freedom
- 23:42just being torn away from us. There are definitely problems
- 23:46with Tick Tock. It's the same problems that we
- 23:48have Instagram and Facebook. It's the problem that we faced
- 23:52with these big social companies, And the government's that have
- 23:55actually empowered them but you don't hear them speaking up
- 23:58against that there were a couple I did listen to the testimony.
- 24:01There are a couple of government officials that did mention
- 24:05something about that, that it is similar in that we should have
- 24:08protections or whatnot but it's it's just sad to see them go
- 24:12down this road, it really, it really is.
- 24:15I don't think this will end up passing.
- 24:16I hope you know maybe I'm just being optimistic by the yeah.
- 24:20It's if this is this actually passes, it's very sad.
- 24:24Day for Freedom, the internet. Everything not just Bitcoin to
- 24:27be 100% And I completely agree with you.
- 24:30But you know it will be turned like with that that wording.
- 24:34Are you trying to tell me that, you know, if Bitcoin actually
- 24:38threatens, you know, the US dollar, right?
- 24:42And the tremendous amount of power that the u.s. government
- 24:45gets from basically being the world Reserve currency,
- 24:49basically, you know, weaponizing the dollar, it's kind of
- 24:52backfiring on them a little bit but not Only that being able to
- 24:55print money and pay for anything they want.
- 24:57Basically, you know, if Bitcoin becomes a threat to that, as
- 25:01more countries, choose to use a neutral money, right?
- 25:06That cannot be weaponized, right?
- 25:08Who's to say that, the u.s. government won't use this type
- 25:11of wording to, you know, go after it.
- 25:14I mean look, this is happened before.
- 25:16This isn't just me just, you know, talking out of thin air.
- 25:19We all know what happened with the Patriot Act, Right?
- 25:21Everyone was super enthusiastic. Passing the Patriot Act because
- 25:25of what happened in 9/11 and then it was only, you know, a
- 25:28decade or two later that we know that parts of the Patriot Act
- 25:32were being used to Target American citizens.
- 25:35Right? A lot of justifications for the
- 25:36spying of American citizens, right?
- 25:39So this type of Bill is the same thing.
- 25:42It starts off with good intentions and then before, you
- 25:45know, it five to ten years later, they're using that
- 25:48language or that power given to them by this bill to go after
- 25:52American citizens, right? So, you know, this is, this is
- 25:55very scary stuff, but I think it was someone who mentioned in the
- 25:58chat earlier, right now. I think it was a shout-out.
- 26:00Morpheus. Right is like this might happen,
- 26:03you know, in the u.s. right. But hey, Bitcoin is a global
- 26:06phenomenon and one of the things that one of the powers that
- 26:09Bitcoin gives you, if you take self custody, of course, is it
- 26:13gives you the power not only to vote with your wallet but to
- 26:15vote with your feet, right? I always make a joke with Opti
- 26:17I'm like, look, we're going to hold it down.
- 26:19We're going to try, we're going to fight our asses off to hold
- 26:22it down here in the States but If all else fails you know
- 26:25opting? I shall simply Bitcoin live from
- 26:28El Salvador. Right?
- 26:29Straight up. Know.
- 26:30You like I'm making a joke but I'm dead serious at the same
- 26:33time, right? So anyways Opti, what are your
- 26:35thoughts on this bro? Well yeah I mean I think the
- 26:38idea that the restrict Act is worse than the Patriot Act is is
- 26:42something that as, you know, bitcoiners we are all very hyper
- 26:47focused on because it's really, the second order effects here
- 26:50that are the most concerned and what people should be concerned
- 26:53about Because like you know yeah people say that Tick Tock is
- 26:56Chinese spyware or use maliciously by China but Banning
- 27:00apps and bending software is a dangerous precedent in my
- 27:04opinion especially considering we are the land of the free and
- 27:08you know, hey I do not want to see what the future effects will
- 27:13be 10 years down the line like Mica said, in regards to what we
- 27:17saw about the Patriot act's. So you know, further proof, I
- 27:20think that the powers that be want to control your behavior.
- 27:23They want to control. Information because they have
- 27:25lost that control and, you know, hey, I may not be the biggest
- 27:28Tick-Tock fan, but like, I don't think that using the boogeyman
- 27:33or the guise of the big bad Chinaman or the Russia, man, is
- 27:37the correct way to move forward with these apps and software is
- 27:41like, again, of course, they're using.
- 27:44The tried and trued rolled out fud of.
- 27:46This is a threat to National Security.
- 27:48Anytime I hear that like my, you know, my antennas go up and I'm
- 27:53like, okay. Okay, this this this is very
- 27:56scary here. I think I need to pay attention.
- 27:59And again, I mean, in one of those points from no BS Bitcoin,
- 28:04it says, since what transactions is all data transmission.
- 28:08So, obviously, this is a lot bigger than just about
- 28:13Tick-Tock. Again, Tick-Tock is just being
- 28:14used as the boogeyman here, because they aren't getting that
- 28:18much, favorable, PR lately because of this whole connection
- 28:22with China. But, I mean, Personally, this
- 28:24just sounds like a First Amendment Amendment violation.
- 28:27You know, again under the guise of the boogeyman like this is
- 28:30some cold water level Fudd. We are seeing here in the modern
- 28:33world in regards to software. And again, if you go to the
- 28:39inevitable end of this, it's only a matter of time.
- 28:42Until this is used against Bitcoin.
- 28:44But hey, you know, anyways, Boomers writedowns words
- 28:48expecting us to stop using software, like, what's new?
- 28:51I'm not surprised really like some of The comments in the
- 28:54chat, you know, like they're trying to ban Tick-Tock we
- 28:57should ban politicians but hey I am not a we're not going to that
- 29:00level but it's just very interesting to see where the
- 29:04powers that be are angling the conversation now, and it's back
- 29:08to what we continuously cover on the show.
- 29:10Like this is dystopian level tyranny right now and they are
- 29:14passing it. Under the guise of, this is for
- 29:16you, this is for your good citizen, like trust us, we have,
- 29:19what's best? We have your best intentions in
- 29:21mind, and Have we ever wronged you?
- 29:25And it's like, man. I really just just get out of
- 29:29my, get out of my behavior. Please, like just stop trying to
- 29:32help me because you can. And then corrected connect, this
- 29:36connect this with the tick tock that was made for made for
- 29:44Central Bank. Digital currency in Europe,
- 29:46right? You could trust us, this is the
- 29:48most trusted money, you know, we will not spy on your
- 29:52transactions, but then, when you're, Not looking, right?
- 29:55You know, they're also trying to pass this this language, right?
- 29:58So it's like I don't trust them, I don't trust them.
- 30:01They haven't, they haven't behaved in a way for me to be
- 30:04like all, you know, these are good people, right?
- 30:06They behaving and do honestly, honestly I'm not everyone, you
- 30:10know, there's some people in the government that are dope, right?
- 30:13But a lot of people it just like, dude, they've been.
- 30:15They've behaved disgustingly, man.
- 30:17I don't want endless Wars anymore.
- 30:19I want to be able to use the money that doesn't steal for me.
- 30:22And I also want to be able to Use the money that's not going
- 30:25to be weaponized against me because I have certain political
- 30:28beliefs. That's what we're fighting for.
- 30:30That's what we believe. And it's crazy that there's
- 30:33people that don't want you to use the money that doesn't steal
- 30:37from you, or they want you to use the money of which they
- 30:39can't control of the of which they can't surveil.
- 30:43And that, that to me is absolutely absurd that we live
- 30:46in that type of world. But I mean, look, every day more
- 30:50and more people wake up and this is why we're here.
- 30:52Anyways, Michael and already has a comment.
- 30:56Definitely an overreach whether this pass or not is not the
- 30:59issue. This is clearly about moving the
- 31:01Overton window getting us used to imposing on our rights very
- 31:05sad. They've been doing that for
- 31:06quite a while to be honest, brother.

- 33:08Anyways, Opti we're going to talk about brother.
- 33:10Well, little Ron has been very quiet on Twitter and I'm
- 33:15guessing I saw some of your tweets and and what do you call
- 33:18a monster? What are they called on Monster
- 33:20notes notes? Yeah.
- 33:22And that you just been very busy.
- 33:25Putting your head down and working and one of the last
- 33:28tweets that we saw especially the last Time you were on here
- 33:30is dids digital identity and I on change everything.
- 33:35This is what makes me hopeful for the future of the web.
- 33:37So I asked you earlier, you know, what have you been working
- 33:41on? What do you want to talk about
- 33:42and you said web 5 and Noster. So what's what's going on in the
- 33:47d? I d segment right now of you
- 33:49know the the web cyberspace right now.
- 33:52So anything new on that front? What you've been working on
- 33:55lately, bro. Yeah so you know, I've always
- 33:57been interested in to into did decentralized The identity, I
- 34:00think that's kind of the core of these issues that we've been
- 34:02talking about today was picked up.
- 34:04It's like, if you own, where you can be found in your data can be
- 34:07found and not some you know, Corporation then it takes a lot
- 34:11of this away from the power of the corporations or even the
- 34:14central government and that case.
- 34:15So, that's to me, what decentralized identity is really
- 34:18all about dids is just a format that computers can understand to
- 34:23read a specific type of decentralized.
- 34:25Identifier and there's all sorts of different types.
- 34:27There's one that is backed by the big boy.
- 34:29Blockchain known as ion. It's one that I've been more
- 34:33involved in in the past couple of years.
- 34:35But there are other methods and there's actually one that's
- 34:37being proposed to work directly with Noster.
- 34:39So your did operations, your identity operations to update,
- 34:43your identity, all happen on Noster.
- 34:45So that's kind of interesting to see and see how that'll kind of
- 34:48play out. But yeah, it's it's been really
- 34:52amazing. Just to see people kind of
- 34:54migrated over to this type of decentralized platform and
- 34:58starting to get the hang of it. Waiting to see you, no drawbacks
- 35:01to it as well. You know, all these different
- 35:03relays and all these different things.
- 35:04It's it's another form of technology to learn and
- 35:07understand that works a little bit different than the social
- 35:10technologies that we're used to. So it's really beautiful to see
- 35:14a huge Community growing and people getting excited about
- 35:16this and people managing their keys.
- 35:19Once again, something that Bitcoin did to technology that
- 35:22we haven't seen. And you know, in a very long
- 35:25time what Bitcoin did two, people managing their own
- 35:28cryptographic keys I think this is just an extension of that and
- 35:31we're going to continue to see a lot of work.
- 35:33A lot of expansion in that space.
- 35:36Absolutely, love it. So what's your thoughts on
- 35:38Nestor, bro? Do you think it's going to start
- 35:42to take up some of the network effects for social media
- 35:46platforms? I do, I think, you know,
- 35:50there's, it's hard to tell what timing looks like, obviously,
- 35:52right now, the Nostra network is mostly built of people that are
- 35:56no sir. Enthusiasts a lot of bitcoiners
- 35:58some pointers unfortunately but you know hey they're part of the
- 36:01world, they exist. So they're going to be on there
- 36:03as well but I'm excited to see what the next thing.
- 36:06Thing would be to kind of propel that forward into other
- 36:10communities. I think, you know, zaps was a
- 36:12huge thing that obviously brought a lot of people there
- 36:14because now they can, you know, tip people and do all these
- 36:16things and we're going to see more sub stack like situations
- 36:20happening. But yeah, I'm interested to see
- 36:23kind of different demographics starting to get onto no sir,
- 36:27because the beauty of no sir is you can subscribe to specific
- 36:31relays. It's almost like your segmented
- 36:32out from other relay. So we're going to be seeing I
- 36:35feel like these Micro applications and pockets of
- 36:38communities develop around Noster and it's gonna be great
- 36:42to see the internet decentralized again.
- 36:44You know, I can use my favorite app to access my favorite feed
- 36:48and you can use your favorite app to access your favorite
- 36:50feeds and, you know, somewhere in there.
- 36:52We intersect love it, love it. What, what, what Noster app are
- 36:58you using right now? I'm an iPhone Maxie.
- 37:01So I'm using the dumbest app, but what are you using?
- 37:04I actually, I saw you're using like, every single one.
- 37:06One on Noster, you're saying you're plugged into every single
- 37:09one of them. Yeah, I mean, I've experimented
- 37:11with nearly all of them, you know, I like to see how
- 37:13different, you know, different clients, handle different
- 37:17things, they experienced a little bit different.
- 37:18I've probably been on snort the, most probably also, because I've
- 37:21contributed a little bit to snort, it was just the easiest
- 37:24project to contribute to, and it's grown a lot.
- 37:28Everything in Noster right now has bugs, you know, we all have
- 37:32experienced it, but that's actually the, it's such a
- 37:35beautiful. Interesting thing is, Despite of
- 37:37all these bugs and despite of all the ux issues, all of you
- 37:41guys are continuing to use it, which is it's incredible.
- 37:44It's great to see that. And I think that type of
- 37:46feedback cycle is it's what's going to make make these
- 37:50products great. And I've seen all of them
- 37:52improve little by little, you know, by adding whatever
- 37:54features their own user base are really, you know, care about.
- 37:57So it's really great to see, absolutely love it.
- 38:00Alright, I'm gonna kind of switch gears a little bit but
- 38:03LaRon, what has you most excited?
- 38:06And in the Bitcoin space, in general, whether it's Noster,
- 38:10whether it's what you're working on dids, or any other topic in
- 38:13regard to the Bitcoin space. Right now, I know you are a
- 38:16little more technical than Nico and I, so you can take this
- 38:19wherever you want. I mean, I don't know if there's
- 38:23anything, you know, specific like technically that I'm
- 38:25excited about there is a lot of technical work happening behind
- 38:28the scenes and a lot of interesting proposals, know I'm
- 38:30a mailing list and work happening, but I'm just excited.
- 38:33I think of this, this whole movement.
- 38:36No, it's different things are being built with Bitcoin.
- 38:39You know, story is a perfect example.
- 38:41It wasn't built on top of it bit quiet.
- 38:43But utilize Bitcoins decentralized feature to add
- 38:46that payment layer to it. So I'm just excited to see these
- 38:50types of Technologies expand and expand and I'm excited to see
- 38:53people understand why you know why it matters, why it matters.
- 38:58And we saw, you know, the bank run that just recently happened,
- 39:01all these Bank rounds. It's really interesting to see
- 39:04that you know what? Most people that were going to
- 39:08be affected by these Banks were using them for simply just a
- 39:11store money and transact. That's it.
- 39:13Then I'm not talking about the loans and all that stuff.
- 39:15That's that's the core base, what they were using it for and
- 39:20that's that's what Bitcoin does and we already have that.
- 39:23So I think more people are starting to realize what the
- 39:26utility is of something like Bitcoin.
- 39:29Something that's decentralized something that you don't have to
- 39:30trust who's holding your funds and what they're doing with it
- 39:33regardless of the promises they make.
- 39:35So Bitcoin. And I think it's great to just
- 39:37see people expand on that. And, you know, understanding
- 39:41those ideas and really feeling them and on the technology and
- 39:45just seeing all these different projects, you know, developers
- 39:47is great, love it. Okay.
- 39:50I'm going to do the flip side of that conversation.
- 39:53What is the latest Bitcoin controversy that really grinds
- 39:57your gears? All right, when the grinds my
- 40:00gears. So the ordinal stuff and I think
- 40:03this might be glad you brought this up.
- 40:04I was going to ask you. So, all right, I've always been
- 40:08a big hater of ftes and I still like I think nft is are kind of
- 40:12stupid and in many, many, many ways, but the thing that I think
- 40:15was most stupid about FTS was not the fact that they exist or
- 40:18that we tie some have to some picture, whatever it is that
- 40:21you're doing that, that really wasn't it.
- 40:23It was the constant grift of like this is going to be worth
- 40:27so much and trade this and if you Hold this in a new class of
- 40:30asset and this and that and I don't know, I'm not as involved
- 40:32in the nft space as a whole, so I don't know ordinals.
- 40:35I mean, I'm sure a subset of ordinals is trying to do that as
- 40:38well, but I think just storing data in the blockchain is okay.
- 40:42So I don't, I don't really care for all this bickering back and
- 40:46forth and people, you know, upset the mental school.
- 40:48I'm happy that The Mentalist we've wanted, you know, the
- 40:52mempool of fear a to, to happen for so long.
- 40:56And ordinals is just a small stupid, you know.
- 40:58Didn't that road? I think that ordinals eventually
- 41:00probably won't be very popular and won't fill up the mental,
- 41:03like they do today. But there will be something else
- 41:06that does, and that is a good thing.
- 41:07So I'm just happy to see more people building, more people
- 41:10experimenting, more people being excited about this decentralized
- 41:14network that we have. And yeah, so I guess it's my
- 41:17controversial opinion about ordinals love it, bro.
- 41:21I'm glad that you took the conversation there because I did
- 41:24have it like that was kind of where I wanted to go.
- 41:27Alright, the next thing I noticed, On your Twitter is that
- 41:30you have been going back and forth a lot with the lightning
- 41:33Network. So what is your thoughts on the
- 41:35lightning Network? Currently?
- 41:37How is it coming along? Well, the lightning Network
- 41:40scale Bitcoin. I think is what everyone's out
- 41:43there asking, so what's your thoughts on that?
- 41:46Yes. So you know, lightning is a
- 41:48great technology. I use it all the time, full
- 41:51disclosure, I no longer run my own node.
- 41:53I know that's not, you know, whatever it was just too much
- 41:57work for me personally. Lock that money in there and
- 41:59just have it on a hot wallet. So I just use it for small
- 42:02phones I'm not a business that's accepting lightning, don't
- 42:05really need to run my own node for lightning.
- 42:08I do run my own Bitcoin node guys just wanted to make that
- 42:11clear so I use Phoenix and things like that but I think
- 42:15that it's there are some great work, a lot of great projects
- 42:19going on to lightning just recently.
- 42:21The suspect has included some some features that allow inbound
- 42:26payments to be more private. So because right now you know
- 42:28when you Send a payment you know who you're sending it to.
- 42:31So that's going to be a really, really great Improvement to the
- 42:33network. I'm just really excited to
- 42:37continue. Seeing the growth of it.
- 42:39It will be the payment rails of the future whether it's the way
- 42:42that we see lightning running today or a different form of,
- 42:46you know, Channel, aggregator or whatever it may be.
- 42:49I think that this network is going to grow and morph into
- 42:53into being the payment rails that we use.
- 42:55Yeah, I'm loving it. I think it's some people are
- 42:58like, oh, you know, like It's failing Lightnings failing.
- 43:00I have experienced that I use it all the time and it works for
- 43:03me. Yeah.
- 43:04Agreed 100%. I and you kind of mentioned it.
- 43:08Do you think? And again, you pretty much said
- 43:11it, but do you think that a lot of the custodial lightning
- 43:14controversy is just kind of like Fudd or is it people making
- 43:18mountains out of molehills? Or is this something that we
- 43:20really should be concerned moving towards the future?
- 43:23I think there should be some concern there, so the wallet
- 43:26that I use Phoenix. So it's still I am.
- 43:28I'm in control of my keys. There's you know, there's
- 43:30there's subtleties there. Of course, they're in control of
- 43:33some things there especially with dust limits and things like
- 43:35that. But that is my personal
- 43:38trade-off where I am. Okay with that.
- 43:40You know, so they can censor my payments until I close a channel
- 43:43that's kind of my my option there but I still have that
- 43:46option so they can't fully sensor me.
- 43:49I don't love custodial lightning wallets because obviously it's
- 43:53custodial but everyone has their own threat model so to speak.
- 43:57So if you're only using Makes a really small amounts and you can
- 44:00continue to sweep it out, either into your own node or into
- 44:03actual Bitcoin, transactions that go on chain then do that.
- 44:06You don't have to run your own infrastructure per se, but if
- 44:10you're a Creator, if you're a business or if you're someone
- 44:13like that, that's really just continuously earning an income
- 44:17or using lightning in a very heavy way then.
- 44:19Yeah. Maybe it is, you know, better
- 44:21for you to run your own infrastructure.
- 44:23Hire. Someone do you know whatever it
- 44:25is that you need to do to protect your your funds a little
- 44:28bit more but for Me personally, you know, I keep a couple
- 44:30hundred bucks on my Phoenix wallet.
- 44:32I use it to just pay people when they're splitting meals or
- 44:34doing, whatever it is that we're doing.
- 44:36I refill it every so on, every once in awhile, I also I have it
- 44:40get Alby email address, which is completely centralized, you
- 44:43know, for, I'll be that I use for my own URL and I just sweep
- 44:48that every so often into Phoenix.
- 44:49Soon, if it ever gets larger Phoenix, I sweep it all from
- 44:52chain. That's kind of my, my flow.
- 44:54And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
- 44:56Yeah, I kind of agree with you on that one.
- 44:59One last question. What are your favorite mobile
- 45:01Bitcoin wallets lightning or just on chained to the I try to
- 45:05get every I always try to just push people towards their
- 45:08favorite wallet. I know, first step, I know best
- 45:11practices, get yourself a hardware while I but for most
- 45:14people, the initial dive into sub, custody is most likely
- 45:18going to be on their phone. So for the newbies out there for
- 45:21someone just getting into the Bitcoin space, What wallets
- 45:24would you recommend on their mobile phones?
- 45:26So I would probably Probably go, Phoenix.
- 45:30I think Phoenix is really good. It's lightning first, but it
- 45:33does have a non chain capability so that you can pay on Jane
- 45:36payments. You can receive from on chain.
- 45:38They do some some things with, you know, zero confirmation
- 45:41where they take a little, if you want a little bit of a risk in
- 45:43order for you to be able to transact quicker and not wait
- 45:46for that channel open, comprar confirmation.
- 45:49You know, I think they provide a really good ux for both Advanced
- 45:52users and for for the newbies, another wallet that I really
- 45:56like is green. I think green wallet has has
- 45:58really done a good job and adding features and kind of
- 46:03working towards, you know, a lot of new things, they're their
- 46:07work on Jade and everything like that together.
- 46:09They've really tried to make it simple and have a slightly
- 46:12different approach to their custody model which I think has
- 46:15some really great benefits and security for new users.
- 46:18So those are kind of I think my favorite too.
- 46:21Guys fooled. This full disclosure.
- 46:24We did not pale Iran to say. This block stream is one of our
- 46:28sponsors, but this was his thoughts.
- 46:30Okay, guys. Alright, well let her on any
- 46:35last thoughts and then we'll move into the me move you.
- 46:38I'm just happy to be out. It's always fun to be with you
- 46:40guys here you know and seeing everybody in the Chad.
- 46:43And yeah, everyone just keep stacking and you know stay safe
- 46:47out there. Let's go.
- 46:48Let's go. Actually I have one more
- 46:49question. What are you working on?
- 46:51Are you What are you working on currently.
- 46:52So right now the main thing that I'm working on is I'm working on
- 46:56identity management focusing, a little bit on Noster, you know.
- 46:59So what does identity management mean?
- 47:01You may have multiple Noster personas that you want to
- 47:05manage, I want to make that kind of easy for you to do in one
- 47:08place. So working a little bit of that
- 47:12also working on a little bit of how to discover things on those
- 47:16store a little bit better, how to back up and store your data.
- 47:18That's really important to you a little bit better.
- 47:21So these are the kind of things that I've been researching been
- 47:24contributing a little bit to open source but the past couple
- 47:28of months, it's been private work but it will be open source
- 47:32in the next few months. Hopefully love it bro.
- 47:34Well, can't wait to see your work.

- 50:10Okay. Anyway, this next meme is by Rd
- 50:13underscore BTC, and he goes just a matter of I'm hashtag Bitcoin
- 50:17and it's a SpongeBob me man. We got Squidward in a box like a
- 50:20homeless person Fiat millionaires after hyper Bitcoin
- 50:23ization and then we got SpongeBob with laser eyes.
- 50:26As you know upper-class Escalon Elite Noble person that he is
- 50:33and it's a Satoshi millionaire after hyper Bitcoin ization.
- 50:35This is the way guys, I dropped Meme Over the, I think it was

- 50:43millionaires than there is 21 million Bitcoins.

- 51:06know, the system is broken and must be fixed and then she does
- 51:10the yes to the system is working exactly as intended and must be
- 51:14destroyed in. This is why we Bitcoin.
- 51:16This is the way I do as we covered yesterday.
- 51:23Sailor is taking up all the Bitcoin.
- 51:25He's scooping all the coin. And you know everyone is was
- 51:30giving him shit for a while. They're saying that he's going

- 52:46being a hard money Advocates, been in the fight for a long
