Countries Secretly Buying Pumps Bitcoin to $93k | EP 1118 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:00
  Yo, rumors have been circulating that countries have been
• 0:03
  accumulating massive amounts of Bitcoin, causing the Bitcoin
• 0:07
  price run up 30% in the last couple weeks alone.
• 0:11
  I mean, we hit $93,500 a lot sooner than people anticipated.
• 0:17
  The CEO of Bitcoin Magazine David Bailey earlier on this
• 0:21
  week tweeted quote there is at least one nation state that has
• 0:26
  been actively acquiring Bitcoin and is now a top five of Hodler
• 0:30
  Bitcoin OG Max Keiser has been reminding us that a Middle
• 0:35
  Eastern country has been accumulating $500 billion worth
• 0:39
  of Bitcoin. I mean this kind of makes sense
• 0:41
  guys, connect the dots. Bitcoin magazine is throwing a
• 0:44
  conference at the end of the year and Abu Dhabi called
• 0:47
  Bitcoin MENA. I have a feeling there's going
• 0:49
  to be a major announcement in that regard.
• 0:52
  So are these nation states reacting to Trump's victory in
• 0:55
  the United States? Because we all know that part of
• 0:58
  the promise that Trump made at Bitcoin 2024 was that he was
• 1:02
  going to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset, a
• 1:06
  Bitcoin stockpile. Ladies and gentlemen, we are
• 1:09
  witnessing, we are witnessing the Bitcoin global hash war.
• 1:13
  It has begun. And when countries compete for
• 1:16
  your Bitcoin, you are the winner.
• 1:18
  Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we are live from the beautiful,
• 1:22
  beautiful freedom country. And I'm here with my legendary
• 1:25
  Co host Optimus Fields and of course, this beautiful volcano
• 1:29
  in the back backgrounds. Guys, it's going to be a great
• 1:31
  show. We have so much news to unpack
• 1:34
  and of course adopting Bitcoin is coming up later on this week,
• 1:37
  Friday and Saturday. So, so much Bitcoin, so much
• 1:41
  Bitcoin content for you guys. And we're breaking all time
• 1:44
  highs in freedom country. I mean dude, Opti, how do you
• 1:46
  feel, brother? I feel wonderful.
• 1:49
  It's incredible. It feels great being down here,
• 1:51
  though. I, I think I have some sinus
• 1:53
  thing going on from all of the, the fog last night.
• 1:56
  So, you know, besides my personal health and I'm kind of
• 1:58
  struggling. It feels really good being down
• 2:00
  in El Salvador hanging out with all the Bitcoin simply Bitcoin
• 2:03
  crew and man, we're just pumping.
• 2:06
  Like how can we not be pumped on days like this?
• 2:09
  Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 2:11
  And of course, we have a friend of a show.
• 2:13
  Dear friends, we have Brian Demint in the house, Awesome
• 2:18
  author. And of course, he's the head of
• 2:20
  marketing for the Orange Palap, which by the way, stock friends
• 2:23
  who stack sats. Brian, welcome to the show man.
• 2:26
  Happy to have you on. What's up boys?
• 2:28
  Couldn't have picked a better day to be here.
• 2:31
  I mean, I'm not in I'm not in freedom country like you guys
• 2:34
  are in Bitcoin country, but I'm, I feel like everybody around the
• 2:38
  world is living the Bitcoin dream right now, not just
• 2:41
  because our buying power is going up, but because the times
• 2:45
  that you doubted, but you looked at the information, you looked
• 2:49
  at the philosophy, you questioned yourself, you dug a
• 2:51
  little bit a little bit deeper. You've been proven right.
• 2:55
  Remember that feeling because there's going to be days of
• 2:57
  doubt in the future. These days are really important,
• 3:00
  not just to celebrate, but to have a a stone in place so that
• 3:04
  you know what's right, what's wrong, what's up, what's down.
• 3:08
  Absolutely, 100%. All right, everybody, let's dig
• 3:11
  into the receipts. So let's jump straight into it.
• 3:14
  Here is David Bailey. This is the tweet that I was
• 3:16
  referencing in the opening monologue.
• 3:19
  David Bailey, of course, CEO of BTC Inc BTC Inc are the owners
• 3:23
  of the famous Bitcoin conference, the one that was
• 3:26
  thrown in Nashville. So of course, you know, he was,
• 3:29
  he was instrumental in getting the Trump administration to, you
• 3:35
  know, feel a certain way about Bitcoin.
• 3:37
  He was instrumental to getting the Trump to potentially free
• 3:41
  Ross on one which we are going to hold Trump accountable for as
• 3:46
  soon as he's sworn into office in January 20th of 2025.
• 3:50
  Anyways, let's get to it. So he said, quote, there's at
• 3:53
  least one nation state that has been actively acquiring Bitcoin
• 3:56
  is now a top five hodler. Hopefully we hear from them
• 4:00
  soon. And just to kind of give you
• 4:01
  guys a free, like a quick recap, we also heard early on the year
• 4:06
  that the Kingdom of Bhutan has 1/3 of their GDP in Bitcoin.
• 4:12
  And unlike other countries, Bhutan never acquired this
• 4:16
  Bitcoin through confiscation. They acquired this Bitcoin
• 4:20
  through mining because they have a tremendous amount of
• 4:22
  hydroelectric capability in the country.
• 4:25
  So they they partnered up with publicly traded miner Bit Deer
• 4:29
  to roll out their mining capabilities.
• 4:32
  And I suspect this is a trend that you're going to continue to
• 4:35
  see. Russia also made Bitcoin mining
• 4:38
  legal this year. Again, these things are not
• 4:40
  happening as coincidences. This is what Max Keiser has been
• 4:45
  talking about for years. This is the global hash war
• 4:48
  playing out in real time. Anyways, so let's get to some of
• 4:52
  these. You know, some of this list,
• 4:54
  David Bailey is emphasizing not on this list specifically.
• 4:59
  I mean, this is a rumor, this is speculation, but they are
• 5:03
  throwing a conference in Abu Dhabi and the United Arab
• 5:06
  Emirates, you know, and, and, and that, that specifically
• 5:10
  Dubai and that in that country has become one of the, and I
• 5:13
  hate using this word, but it's the truth.
• 5:15
  Crypto capitals of the world because they have no income tax.
• 5:19
  So you see a lot of people flocking to Dubai and Abu Dhabi
• 5:23
  anyways. So here is a list of current
• 5:26
  countries and how much Bitcoin they hold.
• 5:28
  So at the top of the list is the United States.
• 5:30
  Trump promised that once he gets elected, this doesn't have to go
• 5:34
  through legislation. This is purely executive order
• 5:36
  that he could do this and he has the power to do so. the United
• 5:39
  States would not sell any of their Bitcoin.
• 5:42
  In fact, with the strategic reserve plan and the bill
• 5:46
  introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, they actually want to
• 5:48
  acquire more Bitcoin. China second on the list Not a
• 5:53
  coincidence ladies and gentlemen, isn't it funny that
• 5:56
  China banned Bitcoin mining banned mining, but the Chinese
• 6:00
  government has 190,000 Bitcoin that tells you everything you
• 6:04
  need to know the United Kingdom has 61,245 Ukraine 46,351 the
• 6:12
  Kingdom of Bhutan baby man man. If you see like the country, the
• 6:20
  way that it's described, it's like they value happiness and
• 6:24
  Zen over money. I just find that so like
• 6:28
  symbolic that they're one of the biggest Bitcoin holders in the
• 6:32
  world. And it makes sense because you
• 6:34
  know, everyone wants to achieve the so-called Bitcoin Zen,
• 6:37
  right? And that's what happens when you
• 6:39
  hold Bitcoin over a long period of time.
• 6:41
  So they hold 12,541 Bitcoin. This is a tiny country.
• 6:45
  They have a big stack. Of course, El Salvador, where we
• 6:48
  are right now, 5929 Bitcoin Venezuela.
• 6:52
  Wow, surprising. 240 Bitcoin Finland, 90 Bitcoin Georgia, not
• 6:57
  the state, but a country 66 and Bulgaria zero and Germany
• 7:04
  #effing wrecked. They sold their Bitcoin at
• 7:07
  57,000. And you know what's funny is
• 7:11
  that no one's gonna be held accountable for that.
• 7:13
  You know, like look, someone even commented in the in the
• 7:16
  thing. God, that Germany line is so
• 7:18
  tragic. Classic Euro poor L.
• 7:22
  Oh man, that's hilarious. Of course, here is Max Keiser
• 7:27
  tweeting. Hard work pays off.
• 7:29
  Max Keiser reports rumors that Qatar, so apparently it's Qatar
• 7:34
  sovereign wealth fund, has entered the Bitcoin market and
• 7:38
  could be interested in purchasing up to $500 billion
• 7:42
  worth of Bitcoin. This was tweeted out December
• 7:44
  4th, 2023, but coincidentally Max Keiser went back and found
• 7:51
  that tweet quote tweeted it in November 10th of 2024.
• 7:56
  Could Max know something that we don't?
• 7:59
  All I can tell you guys for sure for certain, I'm pretty
• 8:02
  confident there will be a major announcement at Bitcoin MENA and
• 8:06
  I can tell you for certain that Bitcoin has has pumped 30%.
• 8:11
  This has been a historic pump. No one was anticipating this.
• 8:16
  And of course, this all started due to Donald Trump's famous
• 8:21
  historic election victory. Anyways, I'm going to pass it on
• 8:25
  to Opti. Opti, what are your thoughts?
• 8:27
  I mean, dude, no one could. No one could have anticipated
• 8:29
  this a month ago. Everyone was doom and gloomy.
• 8:32
  We were getting tired of the chop.
• 8:34
  You know, it was brutal. It lasted for eight months going
• 8:38
  sideways, which in hindsight, I actually think it's a good thing
• 8:41
  that we chopped because it built a very solid base of which to
• 8:45
  build upon. If we kept pumping like we were
• 8:49
  pumping in March, reaching all time highs, I think we would
• 8:51
  have had a left translated cycle and we would have peaked a lot
• 8:55
  sooner, but we would have peaked a lot lower than we could have
• 8:58
  that that I think we're going to peak in 2025.
• 9:01
  Anyways, Opti, what are your thoughts?
• 9:03
  Yeah, well, first of all, I think this price rise the last
• 9:06
  couple of days is incredible. And I, I know, you know, get
• 9:09
  your tomatoes ready. I'm not the only one saying this
• 9:12
  anymore. I heard I saw Sansom, I'll tweet
• 9:14
  it, but this time does feel different and by that I'm not
• 9:17
  saying in general, but it does feel different than the 2021
• 9:20
  bull run. We all know what happened in
• 9:22
  2021. We were all expecting 100K and
• 9:25
  it never got there and now you know the PTSD rule that we
• 9:29
  always talk about is Bitcoiners Bitcoin price does the exact
• 9:32
  opposite of what everyone thinks is going to happen.
• 9:34
  We're at 100K basically by Thanksgiving Day and everyone's
• 9:39
  still kind of thinking like, oh, next year's only going to go to
• 9:42
  200 K. And what we're seeing of of
• 9:44
  course, all the different signals, some rumors circulating
• 9:47
  about who's actually buying Bitcoin.
• 9:49
  We know that the game has changed.
• 9:51
  We have corporations buying Bitcoin.
• 9:53
  We have some of the richest people in the world holding and
• 9:55
  buying Bitcoin. We have nation states, countries
• 9:58
  buying, mining, holding Bitcoin, storing Bitcoin.
• 10:02
  So I think it's not a coincidence that we're seeing
• 10:04
  the price run up as we are, especially considering that
• 10:07
  Trump did get elected and we all know the Bitcoin strategic
• 10:10
  stockpile meme is playing and circulating.
• 10:13
  So it does feel like we are seeing nation states trying to
• 10:16
  front run the Bitcoin, the strategic stockpile in the US.
• 10:20
  Obviously Trump isn't a president yet for another month.
• 10:24
  Is this other countries front running?
• 10:26
  the US is strategic reserve stockpile?
• 10:29
  I don't think we'll know yet for at least a couple months, but it
• 10:32
  is feeling like this time is changing.
• 10:34
  Things are starting to percolate.
• 10:36
  The price is running at incredible price pumps.
• 10:38
  You know, the last couple of days we've been sitting here and
• 10:41
  just like 1K price pumps every hour and we're like, yo, is it
• 10:45
  going to hit 90? I mean we, we, we.
• 10:48
  Were we were $1000 away from the God candle.
• 10:52
  God candle is defined as a a a a Bitcoin candle of 10K.
• 10:57
  We pumped 9K in a day like that is nuts.
• 11:02
  Guys. Just just give, like just give,
• 11:04
  give yourself a little bit of context, right?
• 11:08
  Bitcoin took so long just to get to 10K.
• 11:13
  It took years and years and years and years just to get to
• 11:17
  10,000. Just to get to 20,000, we had a
• 11:20
  candle of $10,000 in one day. Like that is absolutely freaking
• 11:26
  insane. And we're not even in the year
• 11:29
  of the bull market, which is historically a year after the
• 11:34
  halving year. So 2025 looks explosive.
• 11:38
  Things are lining up. I'm going to be incredibly
• 11:40
  bullish if we break 100K before 2025.
• 11:44
  And I think we're going to have an explosive 2025.
• 11:47
  I'm getting 2017 vibes, I'm not getting 2021 vibes.
• 11:51
  And Opti knows I'm the bear in this, you know, in the in the in
• 11:55
  the host seat. Anyways, Brian, what are your
• 11:58
  thoughts? Man, this is extremely exciting.
• 12:00
  Bitcoins pumping, which means Bitcoin businesses are pumping.
• 12:03
  Everyone's happy. Having Bitcoin on your treasury
• 12:06
  as a business is a effing cheat code.
• 12:08
  I can't emphasize that enough. Brian, what are your thoughts?
• 12:11
  Well, first of all, in certain communities, bears are a certain
• 12:15
  type of person. So I didn't know what you were
• 12:16
  talking about at 1st and that, but I will say what you just
• 12:21
  said about company reserves. We just had a team meeting with,
• 12:25
  with, with my Wellness company and, and most in my Wellness
• 12:27
  company, my, my team members aren't all Bitcoiners yet.
• 12:31
  But being able to lay out the fact that we've been putting
• 12:34
  into a Bitcoin treasury for the last 10 years and that if our
• 12:37
  company didn't bring in another dollar for the next three years,
• 12:41
  everybody would still have a job.
• 12:43
  They, all of them are thinking, man, my friends can't find
• 12:45
  employment, but I work for a company that has a Bitcoin
• 12:48
  treasury and my job is secure. Like we're orange peeling people
• 12:52
  in ways we never thought we would before because of things
• 12:54
  like that. But a few things I have quick,
• 12:57
  quick, three bullet points and I promise I'll be quick on this.
• 12:59
  First, shout out to my boy Trevor.
• 13:02

• 13:04

  Let's check it out. I want to tell you guys about
• 16:51
  our sponsor. Stamp Seed.
• 16:54
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 16:57
  Are your seed words really secure?
• 17:00
  Stamp Seeds Do It Yourself Kit has everything you'll need to
• 17:04
  hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
• 17:09
  instead of writing them down on paper.
• 17:12
  Don't do that. Paper sucks.
• 17:14
  You want to. Literally stamp your seed into
• 17:17
  this plate of titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 17:21
  into the metal plate with this hammer, so once your words are
• 17:25
  in, they aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 17:29
  apart and your pieces falling everywhere.
• 17:32
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 17:36
  produced by a house fire. They are also crush proof,
• 17:39
  waterproof, non corrosive and most importantly, because this
• 17:43
  is generational 12th time proof all things that paper is not
• 17:50
  allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin for the long haul.
• 17:53
  I mean, here is the plate that they.
• 17:56
  Crushed. They put in water, they put a
• 17:58
  blowtorch to it, and as you can see, the words have survived.
• 18:03
  Stamp your seed on stamp seed and you can use promo code
• 18:07
  simply to get 15% off anything on their store.
• 18:11
  Head over to stamp Seed. All right, everybody, you want
• 18:16
  to maintain the relationship with your grandchildren.
• 18:19
  And the way that you do that is by handing over the hand,
• 18:23
  handing them generational wealth and one of the worst.
• 18:27
  Can you imagine this conversation 20 years from now?
• 18:29
  It's like, grandpapa, are you going to give me the Bitcoin?
• 18:33
  It's like, no, grandson, I wrote down the seed words on paper and
• 18:36
  the dog ate it. And then your grandson looks at
• 18:39
  you in the eyes and says grandpa, you're an idiot.
• 18:42
  And that's exactly why you should get yourself a stamp seed
• 18:44
  promo code simply to get 15% off.
• 18:46
  Anyways, at the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is
• 18:50
  92,030 a block height, 870,156 sats per dollar, 1086 market cap
• 18:58
  1.82 trillion Bitcoin price in gold 35.7 oz Bitcoin versus gold
• 19:04
  market cap 10.1%. Holy cow, Opti doesn't have it's
• 19:09
  my, it's my sound, it's my sound board.
• 19:11
  Opti doesn't have his horns but yeah that's crazy.
• 19:15
  That's crazy. Listen, Bitcoin crossed the
• 19:17
  market cap of silver yesterday. Silver had a 4000 year head
• 19:21
  start. We are just getting the party
• 19:23
  started baby. Anyways, percentage issued
• 19:25
  94.19% decline from all time high -1.4% and realized monetary
• 19:31
  inflation continuing to take Fiat currencies to absolute
• 19:33
  school, 1.23%. Anyways, Jack Maulers and Dave
• 19:38
  Portney were kind of going back and forth and this is a
• 19:41
  misconception that I hear from a lot of people.
• 19:43
  And the misconception is, Nico, I'm late to Bitcoin.
• 19:46
  It's $92,288. Like I missed it.
• 19:51
  I thought I was late to Bitcoin first time I bought Bitcoin,
• 19:54
  $600.00. I thought I was super effing
• 19:57
  late. I, I was like, man, people are
• 19:59
  buying this for a dollar. People are buying this for $10
• 20:02
  like I miss the train. There's no way I'm going to ever
• 20:05
  catch up. That's wrong because when this
• 20:08
  thing's trading at millions of dollars per coin, which will
• 20:11
  inevitably do because it is the superior asset, you're going to
• 20:15
  be like, dude, do you remember when like Bitcoin was at 92,000
• 20:19
  and I could have stacked some? I think instead of saying 92,000
• 20:22
  from now on, I'm just going to say point 1,000,000, right?
• 20:25
  It's it's just better anyways. And also not to mention the unit
• 20:28
  bias. Remember guys, there's 100
• 20:30
  million Satoshi's in one Bitcoin.
• 20:33
  So Jack Mollers is going to explain to Dave Portnoy.
• 20:36
  Of course, Dave Portnoy continues to say he fucked up.
• 20:39
  I have the video for you guys. Let's check it out.
• 20:41
  Here's Dave Portnoy. I fucked up Bitcoin again.
• 20:47
  I have it but I was going to buy $2,000,000 on the Ledger with
• 20:51
  barstool and I think I said I want in the 40s.
• 20:54
  I went to do it. I literally switched the money
• 20:58
  into Kraken and by the time I got the 2 million into Kraken,
• 21:03
  was it 39 or 49? It was back over the threshold
• 21:07
  and my CF OS like you want me to buy?
• 21:09
  It's like, no, we wait. We wait for it to go back to
• 21:12
  this number and then buy the two mil and it just never went back.
• 21:16
  I've given up on I love crypto. I I own it, it's on the Ledger.
• 21:20
  Not as much as I'd like. It keeps me up at night time to
• 21:24
  time because it's like if I just put 10 million, I would have
• 21:27
  made 10 million. So that haunts me.
• 21:30
  But I got almost at peace with it all.
• 21:32
  Just always be that sweet piece of ass that got away, you know?
• 21:42
  All right, everybody, Dave Portnoy absolutely being
• 21:45
  freaking hilarious. I'll tell you guys a personal
• 21:47
  story. So I bought the top at 20,000.
• 21:51
  I bought a whole coin in 2021 at the $68,000 peak.
• 21:59
  It felt freaking horrible. When we went down to 16,000 it
• 22:02
  was like damn bro I could have bought like 3.
• 22:04
  What the F was I thinking? The point I'm trying to make is
• 22:10
  this is just Bitcoin and This is why dollar cost averaging is
• 22:14
  like the best strategy because you're gonna buy the top.
• 22:17
  I mean, Opti, I'm sure you've bought the top.
• 22:19
  I'm sure, Brian, I'm sure Brian, you, you've bought the top as
• 22:23
  well. It's like everyone just buys a
• 22:25
  top because you don't know. So the best strategy I recommend
• 22:29
  is dollar cost average. You are not late to Bitcoin, and
• 22:32
  here's Jack Mahler's explaining that.
• 22:35
  Listen, thinking you're late to Bitcoin is a failure of ego.
• 22:43
  Repeat that again. Thinking you are late to Bitcoin
• 22:47
  is a failure of ego. Bitcoin is an ego test.
• 22:53
  Late to Bitcoin according to who?
• 22:57
  Oh you're comparing yourself to your childhood friend?
• 23:01
  Oh you're comparing yourself to people on the Internet?
• 23:04
  Oh, you're comparing yourself to your Co worker.
• 23:10
  That's why you think you're late to Bitcoin.
• 23:12
  What is that? That's a failure of your ego.
• 23:16
  That's an insecure small person. All of those that has nothing to
• 23:22
  do with Bitcoin. You think you're late to
• 23:25
  Bitcoin? Michael Saylor just bought $2
• 23:27
  billion worth of it. You're late Where?
• 23:31
  How? Bitcoin's an ego test.
• 23:35
  As soon as you can sacrifice your ego and say I'm not bigger
• 23:39
  than this thing, I can't control this thing.
• 23:41
  I am one with this thing. This thing is more important
• 23:46
  than me, It's bigger than me. It's when you become a
• 23:50
  Bitcoiner, you join the network, you have every single equal
• 23:55
  right with everyone else on the network.
• 23:56
  There's no hierarchy rules with no rulers.
• 23:59
  That's when you become a bitcoiner.
• 24:00
  So I think thinking that you're late to Bitcoin is a failure of
• 24:03
  ego. Stop comparing yourself to other
• 24:06
  people. Listen, at the end of the day,
• 24:08
  you got to put your money somewhere.
• 24:10
  You got to put your time and energy, your effort, your labor
• 24:12
  somewhere, right? You get up, you go to work, you
• 24:16
  contribute to this world. You got to store that value
• 24:20
  somewhere. You're not going to store it in
• 24:24
  the best place to store it in human history because you're
• 24:27
  comparing yourself to your friend.
• 24:31
  What type of man are you? Come on.
• 24:39
  So I don't know, like, I just don't get that.
• 24:43
  But don't compare yourself to other people.
• 24:46
  Decisions are made at the margin.
• 24:48
  You wake up every day, you contribute value to the people
• 24:51
  around you. You got to put that value
• 24:52
  somewhere. Bitcoin's the best place to put
• 24:54
  that value, period. So there's no top, There is no
• 25:01
  being late or early. Again, Bitcoin's not a hedge.
• 25:04
  It's the solution. Every single day that you wake
• 25:07
  up and you do things for others, you create value for society and
• 25:10
  you have to store that value. You put it in Bitcoin.
• 25:13
  Obviously, it's been the correct answer for the last 15 years.
• 25:17
  It'll be the correct answer for the next 1500.
• 25:21
  And ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly why they call him Jack
• 25:25
  Mother effing Ballers. Anyways, guys, Jack dropping the
• 25:29
  mic completely, completely correct.
• 25:32
  Bitcoin is an ego test. Anyways, I'm going to pass it on
• 25:35
  to our boy Brian. Brian, what are your thoughts?
• 25:38
  What that wisdom from, from Jack Ballers, bro, like, you know,
• 25:41
  it's, it's so good every single time.
• 25:44
  I mean it, that was like a Jack Goggins speech dude.
• 25:47
  He that was a man up push through.
• 25:50
  I I've never seen him talk like that.
• 25:51
  And I think that it's because we we get this and and he's trying
• 25:55
  to breakthrough this thing that we have it as humans because we
• 25:58
  inherently want and need to compare ourselves.
• 26:00
  But the, the, the comparison here that makes sense is
• 26:03
  comparing Bitcoin to the dollar man like, like you're, you're
• 26:07
  never late because the, the merits of the dollar are
• 26:10
  continuing to do dollar stuff. It's continuing to go up and
• 26:13
  Bitcoin is left unchanged. That fact does not change at
• 26:16
  all. And let me prove it to you.
• 26:17
  If you do want to compare yourself to other people, if you
• 26:19
  don't want to take Jack's analogy or you don't want to
• 26:22
  take his, his buck up and man up perspective.
• 26:25
  If you want to compare yourself to other people, don't compare
• 26:27
  yourself to the dude that bought Bitcoin at $10 and and
• 26:30
  miraculously held, which most people that bought at 10 didn't
• 26:33
  hold by the way. But but let's say your buddy
• 26:35
  tells you that if you want to compare yourself, compare
• 26:38
  yourself to the 99% of people out there.
• 26:40
  Walk around and ask your friends and family, how much do you know
• 26:43
  how many Bitcoin there are? And most people will not be able
• 26:47
  to articulate the fact that there are only 21 million
• 26:49
  Bitcoin. They might be able to tell you
• 26:50
  the Bitcoin price. They might be able to tell you
• 26:52
  it's some digital crypto thing, but they won't be able to tell
• 26:55
  you that there's only 21 million.
• 26:57
  And why does that matter? It's because the world hasn't
• 26:59
  caught up to the idea that Bitcoin is finite.
• 27:02
  People haven't even grasped that concept yet.
• 27:05
  So until everybody knows that concept, you're not late.
• 27:08
  That's just, that's just a fact. You're not late because not
• 27:11
  everybody knows that. Not even the majority of people
• 27:13
  know that. So if you do want to compare
• 27:15
  yourself, which Jack says don't, but if you're going to, you are
• 27:19
  early. People don't get this yet. 100
• 27:23
  percent, 100% dropping wisdom Brian de Mint.
• 27:27
  I mean, bro, this this guy is written some of some of the most
• 27:31
  epic books that are right behind him Bitcoin evangelism and
• 27:35
  parallel. So yeah, man, the Brian the mint
• 27:38
  dropping dropping the wisdom like always.
• 27:40
  Anyways, guys, we just think we just broke an all time high on
• 27:45
  on simply Bitcoin live on YouTube.
• 27:47
  So shout out to this. Didn't just didn't just break
• 27:50
  it. Blowing through it right now.
• 27:52
  This is crazy. Let's 732 watching live just on
• 27:56
  YouTube alone. Shout out to all you guys can't
• 27:58
  believe it and appreciate it. If you guys are enjoying the
• 28:01
  live stream so far, smash the like button.
• 28:03
  Also shout out to the 1000 of you guys watching on X.
• 28:07
  And of course shout out to the 100 of you guys watching on
• 28:10
  Rumble. And of course we are streaming
• 28:12
  on Nostril. Nostril stream is doing well as
• 28:15
  well also. Anyways, guys, we love you all.
• 28:18
  We're going to be right back anyway.
• 28:20
  Let me, let me chime in here cuz I, I think there's a very good
• 28:23
  lesson to learn from from Dave Portnoy and it's something we
• 28:26
  tell you guys constantly. You see this play out with new
• 28:29
  entrants into the Bitcoin spaces.
• 28:31
  Everyone wants to time their Bitcoin buys.
• 28:34
  Yes you know, in hindsight, it's always a good idea to be like,
• 28:37
  man, I wish I bought the dip here.
• 28:39
  Like I wish I knew that, you know, 3.5 K in 2020 was going to
• 28:42
  be the absolute bottom. I should have gone completely in
• 28:44
  it. And you see Dave Pornolo falling
• 28:47
  into that really bad thinking here.
• 28:49
  Everyone thinks they can time Bitcoin and time in the market
• 28:52
  beats timing the market. So look, love Dave as an
• 28:55
  entrepreneur out there, but his Bitcoin journey is super rough
• 28:59
  and I forget what the meme goes, but you know, if you're smart,
• 29:03
  you learn the lessons on yourself, but if you're wise,
• 29:05
  you lift other people and you learn from what they're doing.
• 29:09
  So don't make the same mistakes that Dave Portnoy is making.
• 29:12
  Just time in the market beats timing the market consistently
• 29:15
  buy Bitcoin. Yes, you can time some, you
• 29:17
  know, some, some dips here. This is buying the dip
• 29:20
  territory, but you want to consistently buy Bitcoin.
• 29:23
  This is how you win on your Bitcoin journey.
• 29:25
  Go on, Nico. Amen to that.
• 29:27
  Amen to that. All right, guys, we still have a
• 29:28
  loaded show for you guys. We're going to talk a lot more
• 29:32
  things about. We have Max Keiser epic, epic
• 29:35
  clip once again breaking the Bitcoin echo chamber.
• 29:38
  So guys, stay tuned. We will be right back.
• 29:41

• 32:02
  devices is the perfect gift for them so they can benefit from
• 32:06
  taking self custody of their Bitcoin and by doing sale taking
• 32:09
  back their financial sovereignty anyways is jumping into the
• 32:12
  news. We have lots of talk about you
• 32:14
  ladies and gentlemen, so let's do it.
• 32:16
  Here's a concept that we've been talking about breaking the
• 32:19
  effing Bitcoin echo chamber. So what does that mean Bitcoin
• 32:25
  content creators, We make Bitcoin content for other
• 32:28
  bitcoiners, but how do you break the echo chamber?
• 32:32
  You break the echo chamber by getting Donald Trump at the
• 32:35
  Bitcoin conference. You break the echo chamber by
• 32:37
  getting Tim Poole, Cernovich, mainstream influencers that
• 32:43
  didn't build their following in the Bitcoin community to talk
• 32:47
  about Bitcoin. And that's exactly what's been
• 32:49
  happening. Tim Poole tweeted about it.
• 32:51
  Cernovich tweeted about it. You know, and people are waking
• 32:55
  up to the scam of Fiat money. I mean, here's Elon Musk on one
• 33:01
  of Trump's campaign speeches. Let's let's check it out.
• 33:06
  I mean, at the end of the day, you're being taxed, you're being
• 33:10
  taxed. All government spending is
• 33:12
  taxation. So whether it's it's direct
• 33:15
  taxation or all government spending, it's either becomes
• 33:17
  inflation or it's it's direct taxation.
• 33:20
  Your money is being wasted and the Department of Government
• 33:23
  Deficiency is going to fix that. So of course he's referencing,
• 33:30
  you know, the so-called DOGE. I was trolling people yesterday.
• 33:33
  I'd said very, very bullish on DOGE and.
• 33:37
  I think. And I knew that, like, I knew
• 33:39
  that like people were like not gonna understand the joke.
• 33:42
  So I put in giant letters like parentheses, not talking about
• 33:45
  the shit coin, but still the bugle literally took it out of
• 33:48
  context. The bugle.
• 33:49
  You're worse than CNN, bro, trying to attack my reputation
• 33:53
  like that. But anyways, so people are
• 33:55
  waking up. The Overton window is shifting
• 33:58
  and Elon said something really important.
• 34:01
  Inflation is taxation, which is something that was only being
• 34:05
  talked about in Bitcoin circles. Now it's being talked about out
• 34:09
  in the open. Guys.
• 34:11
  This is a one way St. to the inevitable thing that's going to
• 34:15
  be said, which is ending the Fed, which is the source.
• 34:19
  Listen, even if Elon gets in there and he and then Trump made
• 34:23
  the announcement that it's going to be back in and Elon behind
• 34:26
  the the doge, the Department of Government efficiency, even if
• 34:31
  they get in there, 1 election happens and all of that stuff
• 34:35
  could get walked back. Why?
• 34:37
  Because the federal government and the administrative state,
• 34:40
  the unelected bureaucracy that remains in power no matter who
• 34:43
  gets elected, their source of funding is the money printing.
• 34:47
  This is something that Naimbu Kelly even said when he made
• 34:50
  when he gave a speech at C PAC in Washington, DC.
• 34:54
  He said, hey guys, listen, this is what Americans don't have to
• 34:57
  understand. Your government is not funded by
• 35:01
  taxation. Your government is funded by
• 35:03
  money printing, and money printing is a form of taxation,
• 35:08
  or as a bitcoiner would say, money printing is a form of
• 35:11
  theft. Anyway, speaking about moving
• 35:13
  the Overton window, speaking about breaking the Bitcoin echo
• 35:16
  chamber, ladies and gentlemen, this guy is about to get
• 35:20
  inaugurated into office. And not too long ago this is
• 35:24
  Donald Trump's words he said. I would like to wish our great
• 35:28
  Bitcoiners a happy 16th anniversary of Satoshi's white
• 35:31
  paper. We will end Kamala's war on
• 35:33
  crypto and Bitcoin will be made in the USA.
• 35:36
  Vote Trump. Hashtag Bitcoin, hashtag free.
• 35:39
  Ross, day one. That guy is the president of the
• 35:44
  United States starting January 2025.
• 35:47
  You want to know why we're pumping so hard?
• 35:49
  This is why, baby. Anyways, so moving on, Max
• 35:53
  Keiser went on the Alex Jones Show and of course, Alex Jones.
• 35:57
  You know this is how the news cycle works when things are
• 36:00
  trending. Obviously Bitcoin is trending
• 36:02
  because the price is pumping. Max Keiser went on the Alex
• 36:05
  Jones show. Why is this important?
• 36:07
  Why? Why is this relevant?
• 36:09
  It's irrelevant. Again, breaking the Bitcoin echo
• 36:11
  chamber, getting the message of Bitcoin to audiences that are
• 36:15
  not plugged in to the Bitcoin news cycle or to Bitcoin content
• 36:19
  creators. Let's check out what Kaiser has
• 36:21
  to say. Here we go.
• 36:23
  I think it's clear to say that Bitcoin has a escape, has
• 36:27
  achieved escape velocity, that it'll become the world global
• 36:30
  standard. And the total addressable market
• 36:32
  for Bitcoin is the, is the market in financials on planet
• 36:35
  Earth, which is roughly $400 trillion.
• 36:38
  So you got to potentially move from $1.7 trillion of market cap
• 36:42
  up to 400 trillion. So do the math.
• 36:44
  It's it's extraordinarily high. Let's say it captures between,
• 36:48
  you know, 40 or 50% of a $400 trillion market.
• 36:50
  That's still you're talking millions of dollars per coin and
• 36:54
  you know, that's the future of where Bitcoin is going because
• 36:58
  it is perfect money. And what do I mean by perfect
• 37:00
  money is that it is a way for commerce to happen without any
• 37:08
  friction whatsoever and without any problems with inflation
• 37:11
  whatsoever. So that since it cannot be
• 37:14
  printed by any government or corporation and there's a finite
• 37:17
  supply, therefore anybody who makes Bitcoin and saves Bitcoin,
• 37:22
  they know that that Bitcoin will be accepted anywhere that they
• 37:26
  go on planet Earth, which is they can travel through space.
• 37:29
  And they know that in any time in the future, they can use
• 37:32
  their Bitcoin to interact and conduct commerce as well.
• 37:35
  So you travel through time. So you're saying Bitcoin is the
• 37:38
  singularity of currency? It is a singularity.
• 37:41
  I call it the Bitcoin Singularity.
• 37:45
  And of course, like guys, this is Kaiser has been going on Alex
• 37:50
  Jones show for like a decade telling him about this.
• 37:55
  Alex Jones does not listen. But the beautiful thing about
• 37:57
  number go up technology is that eventually everyone bows down.
• 38:01
  I've been trying to orange pill my parents in law for as long as
• 38:06
  I've been in Bitcoin eight years.
• 38:08
  It wasn't until about a year or two ago that they capitulated
• 38:13
  because they're like, OK, this kid, you know, that has a
• 38:16
  YouTube channel, has a beard. Like, why should I listen to
• 38:19
  him, you know? And then all of a sudden they
• 38:21
  see number go up. Like number go up.
• 38:24
  Eventually makes everyone bow down to the king.
• 38:26
  This is Larry Fink, and it's Donald Trump, right?
• 38:29
  Like everyone nation states, the Kingdom of Bhutan, you know,
• 38:32
  potentially guitar, potentially the United Arab Emirates, the
• 38:36
  United States talking about a strategic Bitcoin stockpile like
• 38:41
  this. This is Bitcoin superior
• 38:43
  incentives and This is why the ECB wrote a paper freaking the F
• 38:47
  out. You know, this is bitcoins
• 38:50
  incentives ruling the day and proving and I think this is the
• 38:54
  battle to come. So we just left the what I call
• 38:58
  the disintermediation of information that was broken the
• 39:02
  day that Trump won the election. Because essentially what Trump
• 39:06
  proved is that he went, he circumvented legacy media, which
• 39:11
  was completely biased and kept on attacking him by going on
• 39:15
  podcast, independent media, going on Joe Rogan and getting
• 39:19
  incredible numbers, much higher numbers than any type of legacy
• 39:22
  media channel. So the day that happened and
• 39:25
  when Elon bought X and freed the bird, so to speak, we are now
• 39:30
  entering a new age. What the sovereign individual
• 39:33
  predicted when they were talking about the transition into the
• 39:35
  information age. Information is now free.
• 39:38
  The average everyday person is not getting their news from the
• 39:41
  New York Times anymore. The most downloaded news app in
• 39:45
  America and many countries around the world is X, the rise
• 39:49
  of citizen journalism, the rise of independent media.
• 39:52
  So we are witnessing. We witnessed the
• 39:55
  disintermediation of information.
• 39:56
  You saw how much they fought. There's a video of literally
• 40:00
  Hillary Clinton saying if we don't reign.
• 40:02
  And censors social media. We're going to lose total
• 40:05
  control. She was absolutely right.
• 40:08
  But now what we're transitioning to is the disintermediation of
• 40:12
  money and state. And I think it's going to be
• 40:15
  bumpy. It's going to be interesting.
• 40:17
  But we're in the first kind of innings of that because
• 40:20
  remember, governments get a tremendous amount of power by
• 40:23
  not only having a monopoly on money, the creation of money,
• 40:26
  but also the control over money, therefore the control over
• 40:29
  people. Anyways, I'm going to pass it on
• 40:31
  to Brian. Brian, what are your thoughts on
• 40:33
  this? I think Max Keiser absolutely
• 40:35
  hit the ball out of the park when he was talking about that.
• 40:39
  What are your? What's your take?
• 40:40
  All right, boys, follow me. I'm going to go on a little bit
• 40:42
  of a walk here, OK? But I'm going to weave.
• 40:44
  I'm going to weave it together. So all right, talking about
• 40:48
  breaking the echo chamber. Well, to answer your question,
• 40:50
  yes, Max was right in where he got, but I actually think he's
• 40:54
  wrong in how he defined it and I'm going to get to that.
• 40:56
  So breaking the echo chamber, I just even from my own personal
• 41:00
  experience I had, there was a hedge fund to reach out.
• 41:02
  They've never touched Bitcoin in their life until about 6 months
• 41:06
  ago. They reached out, they bought
• 41:08
  200 copies of Bitcoin evangelism for their highest net worth
• 41:11
  investors that orange build them.
• 41:13
  They decided that their fund was going to buy $80 million worth
• 41:15
  of Bitcoin. They did that.
• 41:17
  Guess what we're talking about how the echo chamber is being
• 41:20
  broken. Those people who just looked at
• 41:23
  it as an investment opportunity, those who bought these hedge
• 41:26
  funds that bought 6 months ago, that $80 million of Bitcoin is
• 41:29
  now well over well over $100 million.
• 41:33
  We're seeing the breaking of the echo chamber.
• 41:35
  And now once you break outside of the echo chamber, you no
• 41:40
  longer have to do the work outside of the echo chamber with
• 41:42
  that group of people. That group of people is now
• 41:45
  working in their own echo chamber to further the message
• 41:48
  of Bitcoin. So I you don't have to speak to
• 41:50
  the rest of those high net worth investors.
• 41:51
  The, the high net worth investors that have been orange
• 41:54
  built are now orange building. It's like, it's like the orange
• 41:56
  plague that's spreading across these places and it's breaking.
• 42:00
  That echo chamber is breaking and it's breaking very, very
• 42:02
  quickly. So if you guys don't know what's
• 42:04
  going on behind the scenes, I can assure you it is wildfire.
• 42:07
  You guys should be more bullish than you are.
• 42:09
  Everybody's bullish in the chat. You're not bullish enough.
• 42:12
  This is absolutely crazy. You guys pointed out to the
• 42:15
  charts earlier in the episode about the, the charts of of
• 42:20
  sovereign nations and holders. We had, we, we witnessed a David
• 42:24
  and Goliath story. Germany is the world's third
• 42:28
  largest economy. El Salvador is the world's 104th
• 42:31
  largest economy. Germany.
• 42:34
  Goliath just took a massive L like you guys pointed out.
• 42:38
  David, the little guy that could is getting a massive W that shit
• 42:43
  that that shows something to the rest of the world.
• 42:46
  If you're a small country or if you're a big country, Bitcoin
• 42:49
  has consequences for you and it can change the future of how
• 42:54
  people perceive your nation. Now, what's the good news in
• 42:57
  that the shot has been blast across the bow because if you
• 43:01
  adopt Bitcoin, you win. If you short Bitcoin, you lose,
• 43:05
  no matter how big your economy is.
• 43:06
  Germany proved that. Now people are I'm, I'm watching
• 43:09
  morning shows before I came on here today and, and on the major
• 43:12
  financial shows, they're saying, I don't think Trump's going to
• 43:15
  do a, a, a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
• 43:17
  That was just a campaign promise.
• 43:18
  What do you think is happening? Sovereign nations around the
• 43:22
  world are seeing people that adopt or seeing countries that
• 43:25
  adopt Bitcoin take WS. They are now taking Bitcoin
• 43:28
  positions as well. Well, every new nation that
• 43:31
  adopts Bitcoin between now and January 20th increases the
• 43:35
  likelihood of not only a bit a Bitcoin strategic reserve, but a
• 43:38
  Bitcoin strategic reserve on day one.
• 43:41
  We're not just talking about day free Ross day one.
• 43:43
  We're talking about strategic reserve day one.
• 43:45
  Because Trump will be forced to unless he wants to lag behind.
• 43:49
  He prompted this run by his announcement.
• 43:52
  He doesn't want to get front run by all these countries who are
• 43:55
  who are taking credit for this position he's adopted.
• 43:57
  It's a self fulfilling loop. And guys, where I think Max
• 44:01
  Kaiser got this wrong, I told you I was going to weave it all
• 44:04
  right. Where Max Kaiser got this wrong,
• 44:05
  It's not the singularity. It is our Constantine moment.
• 44:09
  If you guys understand history, Rome oppressed the church for
• 44:13
  hundreds and hundreds of years, but the church just needed to
• 44:16
  hang on for long enough to make the conditions ripe.
• 44:19
  Enough said that the most powerful man in the world
• 44:22
  adopted the faith that his nation had previously oppressed.
• 44:26
  When that happens in an instant in an executive order from the
• 44:31
  emperor, the nation then becomes not a, not a polytheistic nation
• 44:35
  and now becomes a monotheistic nation, a Christian monotheistic
• 44:39
  nation. In one word, in one edict.
• 44:42
  That's what we're in. We're in the Constantine moment
• 44:45
  of Bitcoin. Whether you like Trump or not,
• 44:48
  there's plenty of people that didn't like Constantine.
• 44:50
  This is that type of moment because money is a faith system.
• 44:54
  And that's where Max Kaiser is, right?
• 44:55
  Money is a faith system. People are there, they're losing
• 44:59
  faith in the polytheism of of Fiat and their, their, their
• 45:03
  faith is increasing every second that they see the Bitcoin price
• 45:07
  ticking up, new nations adopting it, hedge funds adopting it, you
• 45:10
  and I adopting it. The faith in Bitcoin is
• 45:13
  increasing and tipping That moment, that Constantine moment
• 45:16
  is what we're in right now. It's not the singularity, it's
• 45:19
  the rise of the Christian Roman Empire.
• 45:21
  But this one is Bitcoin. Beautiful, beautiful.
• 45:25
  Oh my God, I love the, the, the historical kind of examples
• 45:30
  because there's a very famous quote, ladies and gentlemen,
• 45:33
  which is history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes,
• 45:35
  right? And if you study history, you
• 45:38
  will inevitably start to see patterns, right?
• 45:42
  Human people have to understand this.
• 45:45
  Human nature does not change. Technology could change, right?
• 45:49
  But human nature does not change, which means that over
• 45:52
  time, people tend to kind of repeat the same patterns.
• 45:56
  And if you kind of include inflation into this mix, guys,
• 46:00
  you can make a very strong argument that one of the primary
• 46:03
  reasons as to why the Roman Empire fell was due to
• 46:07
  inflation. Right in the early in early
• 46:11
  America, they had a very, very bad experience with paper money,
• 46:16
  which is why a lot of the founding fathers were not fans
• 46:18
  of this. There's very famous quotes about
• 46:20
  George Washington and other presidents that were like,
• 46:23
  listen, paper money is a horrible, horrible idea.
• 46:26
  And it seems like it's like history.
• 46:28
  It's it repeats itself. And during the Roman Empire, it
• 46:30
  wasn't paper money. What they would do is, is coin
• 46:33
  clipping. So essentially when it when it
• 46:35
  when it was the Roman but Republic, the amount of silver
• 46:39
  per coin was like, I think it was like 89% towards the end of
• 46:43
  the Roman Empire, it was like .0000000.
• 46:47
  It's a very small number. So essentially history is
• 46:51
  repeating itself, but this time is different because we finally
• 46:55
  have something that will break the cycle and that is Bitcoin
• 47:00
  Opti. What's your take?
• 47:01
  Yeah, well, it's hard to follow up such wisdom, but I do want to
• 47:04
  just touch on the idea of breaking the echo chamber.
• 47:07
  Obviously, guys, you know, we're on YouTube.
• 47:09
  Our goal is to get the Bitcoin message to as many people as
• 47:12
  possible. We have heard you guys, you
• 47:15
  know, the criticism, constructive criticism.
• 47:17
  If I'm being nicely of like, man, just go on Rumble, you
• 47:20
  know, spread the good gospel, say what you really want to.
• 47:23
  But the goal here is to get as many people, as many new people
• 47:27
  watching Bitcoin falling down the rabbit hole.
• 47:29
  And this is how we reach out to other people as you go meet them
• 47:32
  where they are. And you know, I think Brian made
• 47:35
  a point earlier where it's like if you go out and talk to normal
• 47:37
  people, if you are still a person that talks to normal
• 47:41
  people, go out there and ask them about Bitcoin and you start
• 47:44
  to realize just how early we are, how little people
• 47:47
  understand of what Bitcoin is. I think I have this meme that I
• 47:50
  always say, I think most of the planet has probably heard about
• 47:53
  Bitcoin, but in those numbers, most of those people don't know
• 47:57
  why we Bitcoin. And This is why it's so
• 47:59
  important to reach out, meet people where they are, get them
• 48:02
  to try to ask themselves questions.
• 48:04
  You know, we always ask the same question.
• 48:06
  You start asking yourself the simple question of what is
• 48:09
  money? And then you end up a Bitcoin or
• 48:11
  you end up stacking aggressively.
• 48:13
  You end up realizing that, hey, maybe the Fiat system is lied to
• 48:17
  me. Maybe there's other things that
• 48:19
  I need to question, but I think the point remains the same.
• 48:21
  We have crossed the Rubicon into mainstream consciousness and
• 48:25
  it's only going to increase. We've been saying this pretty
• 48:28
  much all year that we're feeling like, man, it really feels like
• 48:31
  everyone is starting to get curious about Bitcoin and now
• 48:35
  it's like becoming a fact. I, I don't think it's a
• 48:38
  coincidence that once Trump came out, said he's going to be pro
• 48:41
  Bitcoin, we're seeing a Bitcoin price rise.
• 48:43
  We're seeing nation states front running other nation States and
• 48:47
  the price is responding to it. I usually say that the Bitcoin
• 48:50
  price is a real time metric of people's understanding of
• 48:53
  Bitcoin. But I was corrected once in the
• 48:55
  chat and I like this one better that the Bitcoin bottoms of the
• 48:59
  bear markets are the real time metric of people's understanding
• 49:03
  of Bitcoin. And the price rise is obviously
• 49:06
  the FOMO, people trying to get in the get rich quick schemers
• 49:10
  out there. But Bitcoin is catching on.
• 49:13
  It's a global phenomenon and the world is waking up to the power
• 49:16
  of Bitcoin and you just love to see it.
• 49:18
  Absolutely, 100% guys. We still have the culture left
• 49:21
  up. We have so much content for you
• 49:23
  guys. We're going to talk to Brian De
• 49:24
  Mint about the Orange Palapse, so stay tuned.
• 49:27
  Before we get to the culture, I do want to give a shout out to
• 49:31
  our partners High Technologies as the first ever public miner
• 49:36
  hives been battle tested through every possible market and as the
• 49:41
  future within. As is the first with an AI
• 49:43
  strategy, Hive continues to redefine the future of
• 49:47
  sustainable computing. Got to also also casually drop
• 49:51
  in here. Hive consistently tops the
• 49:53
  industry in Bitcoin mined per EXA hash.
• 49:57
  They're lean and mean. They're green and clean, and
• 50:00
  they're changing the the game. Learn more by following them at
• 50:04

  in purchasing the stock hive. Also, I want to give a shout out
• 50:15
  to our sponsor Bit Block Boom guys, we are going to to be
• 50:19
  attending this conference and we are also going to be doing the
• 50:22
  production for them. This is one of my favorite
• 50:25
  Bitcoin conferences. In fact, this is the first
• 50:28
  Bitcoin conference that Simply Bitcoin did a production for.
• 50:31
  This is the Bitcoin conference where me and Opti met in the
• 50:35
  flesh for the first time. In fact, I think we shared a
• 50:37
  room together and that's where pause, that's where the that's
• 50:41
  where the friendship started. The best way to get a job in the
• 50:46
  industry and to connect with fellow Bitcoiners is by going to
• 50:49
  Bitcoin conferences. And we recommend Bit Block Boom.
• 50:53
  It's a pure true Bitcoin conference.
• 50:56
  It's going to be April 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th in Dallas, TX, and
• 51:01
  you want to get your tickets quickly because the prices do
• 51:04
  increase. In 18 days, the whole Simply
• 51:07
  Bitcoin crew will be there and we have a special promo code for
• 51:11
  you guys. If you use BBB 21, you get $100
• 51:17
  off. All right everybody, let's get
• 51:18
  to the culture. We have a lot to talk about.
• 51:33
  Alright everybody else, I want to give a shout out to our
• 51:34
  sponsor, the orange pull app Stack friends who stack SAT the
• 51:40
  orange pull app is the number one resource for Bitcoin only
• 51:43
  events. It's also a great resource for
• 51:45
  you to connect with fellow Bitcoiners, especially if you're
• 51:48
  traveling, you're on the go. Perhaps you've been in your city
• 51:50
  for a while and you don't know any bitcoiners around you has a
• 51:53
  very clever filtration system. So essentially, you won't find
• 51:57
  the, hey, if you send me one Bitcoin, I'll send you 2 on the
• 52:01
  app. And also it has a really clever
• 52:03
  geographical feature. So if you're traveling to a new
• 52:06
  city, you pull up the Orange pull app and it will literally
• 52:08
  show you like by miles what bitcoiners are near you.
• 52:12
  And it gives you the ability to send them a message directly.
• 52:15
  Also, it's one of the best ways to reach me.
• 52:18
  Don't really answer Twitter DMS or random emails these days, but
• 52:22
  if you send me a message on the Orange Pull app every week or
• 52:24
  two, I make sure to get back to every single one of you guys.
• 52:28
  So to get started, scan the QR code on your screen or check the
• 52:32
  link in the video video description to download the
• 52:34
  orange pull out today Bitcoin's number one social layer.
• 52:38
  All right everybody, I do want to bring up our our special
• 52:42
  guest for today, the one the only, the legendary Brian de
• 52:45
  Mint. How you doing my friend?
• 52:47
  How's life? Never better, my man.
• 52:50
  I mean, that's life is good for for many, many reasons.
• 52:53
  Bitcoin is just the world's best cherry on top.
• 52:56
  And thanks for the shout out for orange pill app again, man, if
• 52:59
  if the one of the one of the biggest questions we get for
• 53:01
  people that aren't on the app yet is, hey, are there
• 53:04
  Bitcoiners in my area? That's if you ask that question.
• 53:06
  Great. That's why we built the app.
• 53:08
  Go to orangepillapp.com/explorer.
• 53:12
  You don't need to have a membership or anything like
• 53:14
  that. Orange pill app.com/explorer.
• 53:16
  You can see how many bitcoiners are in your area.
• 53:18
  You can or you can just toggle toggle around the map and you
• 53:21
  can see how many bitcoiners are there in Russia or Guatemala or
• 53:25
  whatever you want. It's it's actually kind of fun,
• 53:27
  but that is our passion, man is, is connecting Bitcoiners.
• 53:30
  So thank you for for always giving that shout out.
• 53:32
  And I know that the community gets a lot of value out of being
• 53:35
  able to interact with you there. But man, my like, my journey has
• 53:39
  been about orange peeling and connecting bitcoiners.
• 53:43
  And I think that not only is the future Bitcoin, the future's
• 53:46
  orange the future's about in person connections.
• 53:49
  You listen to guys like Sam Altman, the the head of, of Open
• 53:52
  AI, they say that that they think that there's going to be
• 53:56
  in the next 10 years, in the next 5 years that there's going
• 53:58
  to be a resurgence of people not going necessarily with digital
• 54:02
  music because AI is going to be producing all sorts of music
• 54:04
  that the real value is going to be if you want to listen to real
• 54:07
  music, you're going to go to a live concert or you're not going
• 54:09
  to watch a movie, you're going to go to a live play, those
• 54:12
  types of things. So if the future is trending
• 54:14
  that way, and I think we already kind of sensed that a little
• 54:16
  bit. I, I, I think that one of the
• 54:19
  biggest things we can do is build out our social layer,
• 54:22
  build out our social network. I know that I've benefited a ton
• 54:25
  from that. If I wasn't on the team orange
• 54:27
  pill app, I would certainly be a member in connecting.
• 54:30
  I've met dozens of people through the app that I didn't
• 54:32
  know. I, I, I, I'm, I'm like a, a
• 54:34
  bitcoiner that puts my face out there.
• 54:36
  But I didn't know how many Bitcoiners were in my area.
• 54:39
  And that is, it's, it's been rewarding, fulfilling.
• 54:42
  It holds me accountable to being disciplined in my Bitcoin
• 54:44
  journey. So man, I I just appreciate you
• 54:46
  guys giving us a chance to rap on it a bit.
• 54:49
  Absolutely, I'm a huge fan of the app man, and and I
• 54:52
  completely, you know, I echo what you're saying.
• 54:54
  It's it's allowed me to connect with people.
• 54:56
  I mean, the message is man, it, it's so it's so awesome.
• 54:59
  It's so heartwarming. You know, I'll get stuff like,
• 55:02
  you know, people that are halfway across the world, like
• 55:04
  Nico, absolutely love you, so love to connect with you.
• 55:07
  And by the way, I'm not the only one high profile Bitcoiner
• 55:10
  that's that's on there. You have Natalie Burnell, you
• 55:13
  have BTC sessions, you have Canute fanhome, right?
• 55:16
  You have Brian de Mint, you have Optimus Fields, right?
• 55:20
  There's so many, you know, there's so many these bitcoiners
• 55:22
  that are on the app and it, it gives you the ability to send
• 55:24
  them a message to connect to them, to ask them questions, you
• 55:26
  know, and of course, you know, fellow plebs that you can see
• 55:30
  and you'll be surprised how many people are in your area.
• 55:34
  You just don't know there. How else would you know?
• 55:35
  How else would you know, right? Twitter isn't exactly the best
• 55:38
  resource for that cause everyone's Anon, you know, where
• 55:42
  they're at doesn't show you, you know, the, the geographical
• 55:45
  feature. So that's something that I love
• 55:46
  about the orange pull out because it, it gives, it gives
• 55:49
  you the ability to see the bitcoiners that are
• 55:51
  geographically near you and it'll give you the ability to,
• 55:56
  to, to connect with them. So, for example, right now
• 55:59
  we're, we're in town for the adopting Bitcoin conference,
• 56:02
  right? And let's say you know, me and
• 56:04
  Opti wanted to go out. You know, it's, we're like
• 56:07
  resting at night, 'cause we know these next four days are going
• 56:09
  to be crazy. Let's say we wanted to go out,
• 56:11
  you know, we'd pull up the Orange Pull app, we'd see who's
• 56:13
  in town, send them a message, connect with them, you know,
• 56:16
  like that. That's what it's about.
• 56:17
  That's what makes it very, very special.
• 56:19
  And again, it has a clever filtration system so you won't
• 56:23
  find spam on the app because that's one of the questions that
• 56:25
  I get a lot. You only find fellow Bitcoiners.
• 56:29
  It's really, really, really cool.
• 56:31
  Also, I'm going to pass it on to Brian.
• 56:33
  Brian, yesterday was Orange Pull app's second birthday.
• 56:37
  Could you talk a little bit about that?
• 56:39
  And this has been huge, just like you guys building a show.
• 56:42
  And I mean you guys built it for a long time, but you built it
• 56:45
  really through this this last bear market.
• 56:47
  I think a lot of us became subscribers to your channel
• 56:50
  through through the low points because why do people gravitate
• 56:53
  towards to to things like this high signal content or an app
• 56:57
  like orange pill app that that connects bitcoiners?
• 56:59
  It's because the people that have high conviction, they want
• 57:02
  to find other people with high conviction.
• 57:04
  It's like the dude that super jacked at the gym.
• 57:06
  He doesn't want to work out with the guy that's the first day
• 57:08
  person in the gym like you. You want to find other people
• 57:11
  that are at your level or share that value.
• 57:13
  It's like starting off on friendship.
• 57:15
  Second pace, man, which is a weird way to say it, but I I met
• 57:19
  Mateo, the founder of Orange Pill App, at the Orange Plat
• 57:21
  booth at Pacific Bitcoin two years ago.
• 57:24
  And not only that, I got the pitch as a member, being one of
• 57:28
  the first people to sign up with Michael Saylor.
• 57:30
  It was like this really weird, kind of surreal experience.
• 57:33
  That was my first Bitcoin conference I've been to and I
• 57:36
  saw right then the value of, of in real life connections and,
• 57:39
  and I've never gone back. But man, it's been 2 years.
• 57:42
  There's over 13,000 bitcoiners on the app now.
• 57:45
  Now when, when we usually talk about things like Twitter that
• 57:48
  has millions or Facebook with billions of users, it's, it's
• 57:51
  easy to get lost in the sauce. You know, there's, there's bots
• 57:53
  on there, there's, there's people that, that have fake
• 57:55
  accounts, whatever, you know, But with, with Orange Pill app,
• 57:59
  every one of those, just like you're saying the, we were
• 58:01
  talking about the earlier, earlier, all the members of your
• 58:03
  audience are real people. Every one of those connections
• 58:06
  is real and it matters so big or orange Pill app is celebrating 2
• 58:10
  years of connecting bitcoiners. And yesterday we were we were
• 58:14
  fortunate enough to sponsor Julian's latest documentary
• 58:19
  called what is a bitcoiner. We retweeted it on our on our on
• 58:23
  our Twitter on our X. If you guys want to go watch it.
• 58:25
  It's a really cool documentary. It's not all about Orangeville
• 58:28
  app, but Orangeville app does make an appearance because at
• 58:31
  one point the documentary crew got their their plane got or not
• 58:35
  a lot. They're plane didn't get lost.
• 58:37
  Their flight got cancelled and they were going to have to live
• 58:40
  in the airport for like a day and a half if they couldn't find
• 58:43
  a place to stay because their funds were all tapped and
• 58:45
  everything. They went on the app, found a
• 58:47
  bitcoiner that said that they could stay with them.
• 58:49
  I know Nico, you're no stranger to people showing up on your
• 58:53
  couch like we were talking about, but it's one of those
• 58:56
  things where people's lives are are seasoned.
• 59:01
  It's salted. We, we, we get a little bit
• 59:03
  extra flavor from those, those, those little sprinkles of
• 59:09
  relationships that we get through these connections.
• 59:11
  So it's the, the documentary does a great job.
• 59:14
  It, it shows pub key in New York.
• 59:16
  It shows all sorts of things with, you know, I'm very
• 59:18
  passionate about the Bitcoin social layer, the people.
• 59:21
  I, I know this is the most inflammatory thing that you can
• 59:23
  say to a group of Bitcoiners, but without the people, Bitcoin
• 59:26
  is just zeros and ones. It is, it is a tool that in the
• 59:30
  hands of people is a powerful tool for change.
• 59:33
  But you, the person listening to this right now, are a essential
• 59:37
  piece of that rest recipe. And if we lose sight of that, we
• 59:40
  lose sight of the whole thing. And that's what these two years
• 59:43
  have been about. Love It, Love It 100.
• 59:45
  Percent Can I? Can Brian?
• 59:46
  Can I tell the story about the couch?
• 59:48
  Yeah, man, go for it. OK, so.
• 59:51
  We should just cut it off right there.
• 59:52
  Just don't tell it and then let people's mind wander.
• 59:56
  No, I should get. It something happened with the
• 59:57
  couch, but so the the founder of orange pull out Mateo good
• 1:00:03
  friend. He actually messaged me and.
• 1:00:06
  And you know, I, I found out he was in town and I, I knew he was
• 1:00:09
  the CEO of Orange Blop. And obviously he knew that was
• 1:00:11
  the host of simply. And we were just chatting and it
• 1:00:15
  was around the, when the Bitcoin conference was being hosted in
• 1:00:19
  Miami. And I live in Miami and you
• 1:00:22
  know, I, I've never met Mateo in my life.
• 1:00:25
  We were just talking, you know, I know he's a fellow Bitcoiner.
• 1:00:28
  I know he's the CEO of a company and I don't know what happened,
• 1:00:32
  how the conversation led to whatever, but it was like, yeah,
• 1:00:36
  man, just come sleep on my couch, you know, to stay over
• 1:00:38
  'cause I think you needed a place to stay and showed up at
• 1:00:42
  like midnight, like 11:45 at night.
• 1:00:45
  My girlfriend, who's not my wife, was like, what the fuck is
• 1:00:48
  going on? I'm like, no, babe, it's OK.
• 1:00:49
  She, he's a bit corner and she's like, OK, that's fine.
• 1:00:53
  And then, you know, I let Mateo in like I, I, I, you know, the,
• 1:00:56
  I, I lay out the couch. But here's the thing, guys, it
• 1:00:59
  was so dark because it was like late at night and I didn't want
• 1:01:01
  to turn on the, the lights. So to wake up my, my wife, I
• 1:01:04
  never saw Mateo's face. I didn't even know what he
• 1:01:07
  looked like. And then the next day, like, you
• 1:01:10
  know, I, I wake, I, I wake up relatively early to like, you
• 1:01:12
  know, like you let go and like see if you wanted to see someone
• 1:01:15
  to eat. And I look at the couch just
• 1:01:16
  gone. He's just gone.
• 1:01:18
  And apparently Brian just picked him up, you know, in the
• 1:01:20
  morning. But that was like my first
• 1:01:22
  interaction, Matteo, I didn't see his face.
• 1:01:24
  I didn't know what he looked like at the time we met.
• 1:01:27
  We met later after the fact. But these are the types of
• 1:01:30
  connections that you can make on the orange Palap.
• 1:01:33
  It's very, very, very special. And there's about, let me get
• 1:01:36
  this number. There's about 13,000, 629
• 1:01:40
  Bitcoiners that are currently on the app right now.
• 1:01:43
  And that number continues to go absolutely freaking exponential.
• 1:01:48
  So anyways, can I, can I say something real quick?
• 1:01:50
  I know, I know. Yeah, I'm taking up more than my
• 1:01:52
  time here. But that story, as weird as it
• 1:01:54
  is and as funky as it is, it's not unique in the sense that
• 1:01:58
  almost everybody on the app has a story like that.
• 1:02:00
  We have a professional NBA basketball player, Matthew
• 1:02:03
  Delladova, played with the LeBron James on the Cavaliers.
• 1:02:06
  I mean, this guy's like total Bitcoin Max.
• 1:02:08
  He was one of the first guys on Orange Pill app.
• 1:02:11
  We had people reaching out to us early on saying, hey, I think
• 1:02:15
  you have a spammer on the app because this guy's acting like
• 1:02:18
  he's a an NBA player. And he keeps telling me, hey,
• 1:02:21
  I'm in town. Do you want tickets to the game
• 1:02:23
  tonight? Turned out he wasn't spam.
• 1:02:25
  Like that's the kind of spam you get on Orange Pill app.
• 1:02:27
  It's an NBA player inviting you to come have courtside seats to
• 1:02:31
  his game because he gets free tickets and he happens to be in
• 1:02:33
  your town that night. Oh, and afterwards, do you want
• 1:02:35
  to come on the court and take some pictures and shoot some
• 1:02:37
  shots? That's literally the spam that
• 1:02:39
  people have gotten on orange Pill app.
• 1:02:41
  It's it's a, it's an entirely different level.
• 1:02:43
  The interactions are so crazy. We can't even we would have
• 1:02:46
  never even predicted that these are the things that would happen
• 1:02:49
  when you mix Bitcoiners. It's crazy. 1,000,000 percent
• 1:02:52
  one. Eco, Hey, Eco.
• 1:02:53
  Before I know, I know we're getting towards the end of the
• 1:02:55
  show, but I know Brian does have a call to action.
• 1:02:59
  So I'm going to pull up the tweet and Brian, lay this out
• 1:03:01
  for everyone before we wrap up today's show.
• 1:03:04
  All right, so we have a call to action for everybody.
• 1:03:06
  If you guys if we can get Senator Cynthia, Cynthia Loomis
• 1:03:10
  to sign up for the orange pill app, I'm going to send 100
• 1:03:13
  copies of Bitcoin evangelism. I'm going to hand deliver them.
• 1:03:17
  I I'm sure Dennis Porter would be happy to help us with this.
• 1:03:19
  Again, we've done something similar to this before.
• 1:03:22
  We're going to hand deliver 100 copies of Bitcoin evangelism to
• 1:03:25
  every senator in the capital. I will literally go to the doors
• 1:03:28
  and knock on the doors. We've done this before in the in
• 1:03:31
  the House and the Senate with a with the Bitcoin standard.
• 1:03:34
  We're and then do it again. These people are open to this.
• 1:03:36
  It's so it's kind of crazy to walk into the capital with a
• 1:03:40
  wheelbarrow full of Bitcoin books.
• 1:03:42
  But guys, the response to this kind of stuff is insane.
• 1:03:45
  If Cynthia Loomis, if you guys can tag her, repost this, DM her
• 1:03:50
  to get her to look at it. If she signs up for the orange
• 1:03:52
  pill app in the next, let's call it the next week, because I
• 1:03:54
  don't know how long we can track this thing for, we will go do
• 1:03:58
  that and we will start to orange pill, not just like orange pill
• 1:04:01
  from afar and like, hey, we're gonna, we're gonna, you know,
• 1:04:04
  send an e-mail to our senator. No, we're actually going to put
• 1:04:07
  this book right on every one of their desks.
• 1:04:10
  And I'll tell you what, when we did this before a year ago with
• 1:04:13
  Dennis Porter, Satoshi Action Fund and all those guys, we did
• 1:04:15
  something similar guys. It was, it was a little bit
• 1:04:17
  different environment. There were some people that were
• 1:04:19
  very responsive to it, but it was a Bitcoin bear market.
• 1:04:22
  And the, the, the similar response we got are from the
• 1:04:26
  aids, the staffers, which are usually college kids or young,
• 1:04:28
  you know, mid 20s, that sort of thing, Maybe that the
• 1:04:31
  congressman or the senator wasn't particularly interested.
• 1:04:34
  But what they would always say is, oh, hey, Tim or hey, Susie
• 1:04:37
  on our staff, they've been, they've been tasked with
• 1:04:40
  studying this stuff. So actually they'll read the
• 1:04:41
  book. So I, I, I think that a lot of
• 1:04:43
  people are skeptical, like, oh, they don't even read the bills
• 1:04:46
  that they passed. Why would you send them a
• 1:04:47
  Bitcoin book? There's somebody on their team
• 1:04:49
  that will read these books. And these are people that are
• 1:04:52
  influencing these people. And, and by the way, we're in a
• 1:04:55
  pro Bitcoin environment. Senators are going to be able to
• 1:04:59
  make their careers if they can tag their name to these
• 1:05:02
  strategic bills in these pro Bitcoin advocacy type of
• 1:05:05
  policies. People, not only they're not
• 1:05:08
  putting the reputation on the line, they're they're making the
• 1:05:10
  reputation off this stuff. So guys, the, the harvest is
• 1:05:13
  ripe. Help us push this past the goal
• 1:05:16
  line. Absolutely 100% guys.
• 1:05:18
  This is what citizen journalism is all about.
• 1:05:22
  This previous election has proven guys, the attacks from
• 1:05:26
  the ECB, the attacks from the monetary demons.
• 1:05:29
  We go in there every time the European Central Bank tweets
• 1:05:32
  something negative about Bitcoin, you see the comments
• 1:05:34
  section. We are an army.
• 1:05:37
  We are an army of the awakened. So take action, take agency.
• 1:05:42
  Don't ask what Bitcoin could do for you, ask what you can do for
• 1:05:45
  Bitcoin. And this is one of the things
• 1:05:47
  getting Cynthia Lummis on the orange palab.
• 1:05:49
  Can you imagine like all the messages she's going to get the
• 1:05:52
  positive reinforcement. Remember, she's the one leading
• 1:05:56
  the charge for the strategic Bitcoin reserve in the United
• 1:05:59
  States. And if that gets passed right,
• 1:06:02
  right now, it's like a 32% on Poly market pretty high that
• 1:06:06
  gets passed right. The guys, this is going to
• 1:06:10
  create a domino effect worldwide because every country is going
• 1:06:14
  to look at the United States and say, look, we can't get left
• 1:06:16
  behind. Russia's not going to just sit
• 1:06:18
  on their hands. China's not going to sit on
• 1:06:19
  their hands, right? So yes.
• 1:06:21
  And then what is that going to do to the price?
• 1:06:22
  I mean, look, guys, $92,700 right now, right?
• 1:06:27
  So yes, call to action go tag Cynthia Lummis on the orange
• 1:06:32
  palap. We put it on, we put the the
• 1:06:34
  optic. Could you put the the tweet in
• 1:06:36
  the chat so people could see it and tag Cynthia Lummis?
• 1:06:40
  Just bombard her be nice, of course, be kind, you know, color
• 1:06:44
  within the lines, but tag her call attention to it and if
• 1:06:48
  enough people do it, you know, hopefully she receives the
• 1:06:51
  message. Anyways, guys, I want to thank
