BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren Joins Team Bitcoin!? | EP 928 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:03
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:06
  Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
• 0:16
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against.
• 0:17
  Freedom. Yeah, welcome to another episode
• 0:25
  of Simply Bitcoin Live. We're your number one source for
• 0:27
  the peaceful Bitcoin revolution. Cover breaking news, culture,
• 0:30
  matic warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:32
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:33
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most watched Bitcoin Daily
• 0:38
  live show on YouTube. Rumble NX guys.
• 0:42
  It's very interesting turn of events.
• 0:44
  I, I, I honestly don't know what I I don't know exactly what is
• 0:50
  going on. But we'll go through the three
• 0:53
  scenarios that could be happening.
• 0:55
  But this is a headline coming out of our friends over at
• 0:59
  Bitcoin Magazine. Elizabeth Warren pivots on
• 1:02
  Bitcoin Honors Nakamoto with flag over Capital.
• 1:07
  Now I did reach out to a friend of mine that works at Bitcoin
• 1:10
  Magazine. He did confirm this with one of
• 1:14
  her staffers. So this is real.
• 1:16
  This is not, you know, not fake. Now there could be a reason as
• 1:21
  to why this happened. Again, this is is speculation of
• 1:25
  course, but there was a pretty damning testimony earlier on
• 1:30
  this week where it was Tom Emmer, Representative Tom Emmer
• 1:36
  got the head of Fin Cen to basically admit that the
• 1:40
  currency of choice of terrorists is Fiat and not Bitcoin.
• 1:47
  So maybe, you know, and then the day after this news came, so
• 1:50
  maybe the two are related. Maybe, I don't know.
• 1:53
  And then also of course Michael Saylor continued vindication.
• 1:58
  This gentleman got so much, you know, S thrown at him during the
• 2:03
  bear market of of 2022. I never forget Pacific Bitcoin
• 2:10
  2022. And he was sitting front stage.
• 2:13
  The price of Bitcoin was at $16,000.
• 2:16
  His average, you know, his average price at the time was
• 2:20
  around 29 K So this guy was down billions, right?
• 2:24
  He had so much pressure from the media.
• 2:26
  The media was not only attacking him, they were attacking El
• 2:29
  Salvador. Well, now Michael Saylor is, you
• 2:33
  know, like riding high, completely vindicated.
• 2:37
  He's up billions of dollars. And also El Salvador, El
• 2:40
  Salvador's average entry price is around 40,000.
• 2:45
  And they're up, you know, they're up hundreds of millions
• 2:48
  on their investment as well. And the party's just getting
• 2:51
  started. The bull market hasn't even
• 2:53
  started. We're we're, we're feeling the
• 2:55
  first innings of it and feels really good, right.
• 2:57
  All that PTSD starts to, you know, wash away and you're like,
• 3:01
  wow, I can't, I remember this feeling.
• 3:03
  It's, you know, it's been 2 years of of, of of warfare, of
• 3:06
  this, this horrible bear market. But you know you start to the
• 3:10
  life starts to get back in you again.
• 3:12
  And I think that we're in the first innings of it and it feels
• 3:15
  really good. Might have to pull out Satoshi
• 3:17
  the Bitcoin chicken, if anyone. If you guys are new viewers,
• 3:21
  simply Bitcoin. You guys don't know what Satoshi
• 3:23
  the Bitcoin chicken is. But essentially we have a rubber
• 3:25
  chicken and it clucks every time the price of Bitcoin reaches an
• 3:29
  all time high, which I suspect is going to happen sooner rather
• 3:32
  than later. So we have a very packed show.
• 3:34
  We also, we also have a very special guest today and and he's
• 3:40
  also a good friend of mine as well.
• 3:43
  Opti's telling Mike rookie move we are.
• 3:46
  We are focusing on my on our guests.
• 3:48
  Mike in in the beginning of the show we need to focus on our own
• 3:51
  mic. But yeah we have Hector from Ron
• 3:55
  and he's also a fellow Miamian. So Hector, welcome to Simply
• 3:59
  Bitcoin. We were super, super happy to
• 4:01
  have you on today's show. I'm super excited to be here.
• 4:05
  Thanks for having me on. Looking forward to to tearing it
• 4:08
  up with you guys today. It's gonna be it's gonna be a
• 4:10
  great show man. Looking forward and of course my
• 4:12
  legendary Co host, I caught him in a kind of smile today.
• 4:16
  The one, the only the optimist fields.
• 4:19
  How you doing bro? Are you feeling optimistic?
• 4:22
  I mean, it's Friday. Price of bitcoins AT52K.
• 4:26
  Life is good. You know it's not sunny right
• 4:29
  now but hey, life is way better on a Bitcoin standard and clown
• 4:33
  world is going full Weimar. Actually Hector, show everyone
• 4:37
  your shirt real quick. This is where we are in the
• 4:39
  story guys. Things are cracking.
• 4:42
  Things are happening. Like Nico, we haven't covered it
• 4:44
  this week but yesterday we got the official, I think official
• 4:48
  numbers that like I I forgot what the number is.
• 4:50
  But like what? 15 countries are in recession
• 4:53
  now, like officially and things are getting crazy out there.
• 4:56
  Of course they're printing more money.
• 4:58
  The Bitcoin price is responding, man.
• 5:02
  People are going to get absolutely devastated.
• 5:04
  I think the world is waking up to the fact that maybe the
• 5:07
  currencies are hyperinflating. Maybe the whole world's going.
• 5:09
  Why? More as we speak.
• 5:11
  Oh man, do you think, oh, so you think you think that the the,
• 5:14
  the delayed recession is is around the corner?
• 5:17
  Is, is, is that? I don't think it's.
• 5:19
  Not it's it's not me. Thinking literally, the news
• 5:22
  came out. There's like, it's like 15 or 16
• 5:25
  different nations are officially in a recession, including like
• 5:29
  the UK and Japan. Like this isn't me just
• 5:32
  speculating. These are like the official
• 5:34
  reports coming out of their countries.
• 5:37
  There's a lot of countries in the world that are officially in
• 5:39
  a recession. So yes, some kind of delayed
• 5:42
  response. Maybe they were trying to skirt
• 5:44
  this under the rug. But now officially, due to the
• 5:47
  numbers, they are in recessions. And hey, we'll see if the US is
• 5:53
  able to manipulate the numbers enough to sigh off everyone into
• 5:56
  not believing. They're in a recession.
• 5:57
  I just don't. I don't think that's the case,
• 5:59
  man. I think we might be, we might be
• 6:00
  in a world of pain if that's the case, because there hasn't been,
• 6:07
  there hasn't been I think really since the 60s where there's
• 6:12
  what's that for? It's something called inversion,
• 6:14
  something, the interest rate inversion or something like
• 6:16
  that. And every time that happens,
• 6:19
  there's a recession that happens right around the corner every
• 6:22
  single time. And this has been one of the
• 6:24
  times that that hasn't happened. And I asked Lawrence, this
• 6:28
  Lawrence Leopard on simply Bitcoin IRL on Wednesday.
• 6:31
  I said, where's the recession? He's like, Nico, I don't know,
• 6:33
  this is so weird because a lot of bitcoiners, myself included,
• 6:37
  right? We were expecting this recession
• 6:42
  once the Fed started raising rates.
• 6:44
  And actually the exact opposite happened.
• 6:49
  Unemployment stays low, consumer spending stays high.
• 6:54
  So it doesn't look like they've been able to really cool down
• 6:57
  the economy the way they hoped, right?
• 7:01
  So maybe we're starting to see, you know, the first innings of
• 7:05
  this. All I know though is that I'm OK
• 7:07
  because I have my Bitcoin in self custody.
• 7:09
  And when I have my Bitcoin in self custody, you know, it's
• 7:12
  it's really, really liberating. And some crazy stuff could be
• 7:16
  going on in the outside. But I know personally I'll be
• 7:20
  OK. That's why I recommend for you
• 7:22
  guys to take your Bitcoin into self custody.
• 7:24
  Speaking of buying Bitcoin and taking into self custody guys, I
• 7:28
  do want to give a shout out to our flagship sponsor
• 7:32
  bitcoinwell.com Buy real Bitcoin.
• 7:36
  Bitcoin. Well, is the self custody
• 7:39
  Bitcoin platform on a mission to enable independence?
• 7:43
  They're a publicly traded company coming out of Canada
• 7:46
  that recently expanded to all 50 states.
• 7:50
  Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first Bitcoin on ramp in the
• 7:53
  United States to have self custody by default.
• 7:57
  That's right. If you want to buy Bitcoin on
• 7:59
  Bitcoin, well, you have to take self custody, which perfectly
• 8:03
  aligns with the simply Bitcoin ethos, the separation of money
• 8:07
  and state. So guys, this is where you want

• 9:46
  anyways, at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is
• 9:50
  52,000 flat. Interesting stats per dollar
• 9:55
  under 2001 thousand 923 Block height 830,745.
• 10:01
  Continues to make all time highs day after day blocks to having
• 10:05
  9255. Having estimate April 19th 2024.
• 10:10
  Total lighting network capacity 4788 Bitcoin roughly 249,000,000
• 10:16
  U.S. dollars. Realized monetary inflation.
• 10:19
  Oh, it went down when Opti and I started covering that number,
• 10:23
  you know it was at like 1.89%, right.
• 10:27
  And the halving's coming up. This is going to continue.
• 10:29
  We're going to cover this. You know, it's going to move
• 10:31
  down ever so slowly, but it's going to continue to embarrass
• 10:35
  Fiat currencies. Look, I think the new official
• 10:40
  rate they're, you know, they say they want 2%, but really like
• 10:45
  like they're going to go, they're going to try to get it
• 10:47
  to 3% and I think it's going to stay at 3%.
• 10:51
  And you know, bitcoin's already lower than what their ideal
• 10:56
  inflation rate was before. You know, the the QE pandemic,
• 11:00
  you know, QE #2 pandemic stuff, right?
• 11:05
  So yeah, and and it's going to get cut in half and it's going
• 11:07
  to go below 1% and then it's going to be half a percent and
• 11:10
  it's just going to embarrass them.
• 11:12
  This is just a reality. The market cap of Bitcoin over a
• 11:15
  trillion, currently sitting at $1.02 trillion.
• 11:19
  In the grand scheme of things, bitcoin's still a baby to reach
• 11:22
  the market cap of gold, right? Bitcoin versus gold market cap
• 11:25
  7.4%. That would put the market cap of
• 11:28
  Bitcoin at roughly 13 trillion and that would put the price of
• 11:31
  Bitcoin at roughly $600,000 per coin.
• 11:35
  And I know that would feel really, really good for Opti.
• 11:37
  We we'd definitely get him off the streets at that point.
• 11:40
  Anyways, I'm sorry. I I missed that.
• 11:42
  What'd you say? I was talking in the chat.
• 11:45
  What, are you trolling me already?
• 11:47
  I said yeah bro, of course. Anyways, I said that once
• 11:54
  Bitcoin reaches the market cap of gold you you will get you off
• 11:56
  the streets. OK.
• 11:57
  Yes, yes, Ken, confirm. So the we guys, we we have to
• 12:02
  cover this every single day just because of the amount.
• 12:04
  You see that like number, you see that little like graph, see
• 12:08
  that little like graph that's just like a lineup.
• 12:10
  That's the amount of Bitcoin that BlackRock has been
• 12:13
  consistently stacking. When we, when we covered this in
• 12:17
  the beginning of the week, I think it was like 88, the
• 12:21
  fidelity one was at like the 60s, right.
• 12:23
  So they continue to stack more corn than is being, than, is
• 12:29
  than, than, than the supply, right.
• 12:31
  There's roughly 900 Bitcoin mined every single day.
• 12:35
  They're buying more than there's available.
• 12:38
  And of course, that's what makes the number go up.
• 12:40
  And just to kind of give you a reference, 'cause, you know, I
• 12:43
  say 115,000 Bitcoin and you're like, I don't know what that
• 12:46
  means. But if you compare it to
• 12:49
  MicroStrategy, MicroStrategy has 190,000.
• 12:52
  It took them three years to get to that point.
• 12:56
  Wall Street has been around, you know, with the ETF.
• 12:59
  They've been around for about a month and a half and they've
• 13:02
  already got to this point. So the amount of inflows, the
• 13:05
  amount of interest coming out of boomers, frankly, right.
• 13:09
  And traditional financial, you know, traditional investors is
• 13:14
  enormous and that can't be, you know, overstated.
• 13:18
  And then this leads me to my second point.
• 13:20
  Michael Saylor's been vindicated.
• 13:22
  Here's the Wall Street Journal, the same Wall Street Journal
• 13:24
  that released ABS, which we're going to talk about ABS article
• 13:27
  basically claiming that, you know, Hamas and terrorists were
• 13:30
  using Bitcoin to to, you know, fund terrorism and and launder
• 13:35
  money. Yeah, that.
• 13:37
  That Wall Street Journal, they came out with an article of, you
• 13:40
  know, Michael Saylor withholding a, you know, a Bitcoin or B or
• 13:44
  whatever. And the headline was Michael
• 13:47
  Saylor bet billions on Bitcoin and lost.
• 13:50
  You know, and this is Michael Saylor's vindication he's
• 13:52
  tagging Wall Street Journal. I've been telling you, ladies
• 13:55
  and gentlemen, we've been playing you his interviews and
• 13:58
  there's a couple things that he's doing right.
• 14:00
  First of all, there was the quarterly report where it was
• 14:04
  him and next to him it shows Microstrategy's performance
• 14:09
  stock wise since they've adopted a Bitcoin strategy.
• 14:13
  And it's outperformed everything, including Bitcoin, I
• 14:16
  might add, right? And I was like, this is a flex.
• 14:19
  Like what he's doing is flexing. In fact, one of his employees
• 14:22
  tried to like pull down the screen and Michael said he was
• 14:25
  like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 14:26
  Leave that up, right. And this is another flex.
• 14:30
  But it's like, it's an indirect flex, right?
• 14:32
  It's not like in your face. It's kind of like, you know,
• 14:36
  he's not doing anything. All he's doing is taking a
• 14:38
  screenshot of an old article that reads by the Wall Street
• 14:43
  Journal says Michael Saylor, bet billions on Bitcoin and lost the
• 14:46
  Long time Micro Strategy CEO and perhaps the biggest Bitcoin bull
• 14:49
  steps down. Yeah, I mean, Fast forward.
• 14:54
  Michael Saylor's up billions. I think last time I tech it was
• 14:57
  like 10. It was some absurd amount that
• 15:01
  he's up on his Bitcoin investment, microstrategy's
• 15:04
  Bitcoin investment and his personal Bitcoin investment.
• 15:07
  So I mean, I'm just going to say it suck on that Wall Street
• 15:12
  Journal because they obviously got it wrong.
• 15:15
  So here you know Michael Saylor's been doing the rounds
• 15:19
  on you know legacy media. Fox Business to be fair has been
• 15:22
  you know and and Mr. Payne has been an they've been very very
• 15:26
  very friendly towards bitcoiners.
• 15:28
  Natalie goes there goes on there all the time.
• 15:31
  So I'm I'm not gonna really you know crap on Fox Business.
• 15:34
  But you know this is just he's he's making the victory lapse
• 15:38
  and he's dropping signal. So this is one of his latest
• 15:41
  interviews. Let's check it out.
• 15:45
  All right folks, don't look now, but Bitcoin is on fire and this
• 15:48
  time it's with far less fanfare, right?
• 15:50
  Not part of the reason I think maybe the boom bust cycle, the
• 15:52
  history of crypto of this cryptocurrency.
• 15:54
  But take a look at this at the top of that screen.
• 15:57
  Since 2011 the orange is Bitcoin.
• 15:59
  It has been the best performing asset 10 times, and on the
• 16:02
  bottom of the chart it's been the worst performer three times.
• 16:04
  All in all though, I think it's got a hell of a track record.
• 16:06
  Now folks are really palling in the bit.
• 16:09
  Those bitcoins, spot ETFs, they started really strong.
• 16:11
  They kind of fell apart for a moment.
• 16:13
  Now they're picking up big time momentum.
• 16:14
  This again after stumbling out the gate.
• 16:16
  And I suspect that this bandwagon is going to really
• 16:18
  start to fill up quickly as Bitcoin breaks through some
• 16:20
  pivotal resistance. You're going to get a whole lot
• 16:21
  of folks who don't know anything about cryptocurrency but want a
• 16:24
  piece of the action, someone who knows everything about it.
• 16:26
  Micro Strategies Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
• 16:28
  No, Michael, I listened to a podcast that you're on recently.
• 16:30
  I know you do a lot of them in which I think.
• 16:32
  Hold on. Stop for a SEC, OK?
• 16:35
  The dude is smiling. Okay.
• 16:40
  Like the first year. I'm not kidding.
• 16:43
  It was like, you know, it was like an intimidating like, you
• 16:46
  know, like, and we put it on our thumbnails all the time.
• 16:49
  You guys know what I'm talking about.
• 16:50
  But that is a big effing smile, right?
• 16:55
  So a couple things. It could either be he's
• 16:58
  extremely happy that Bitcoin is up or, you know, someone told
• 17:01
  him like Michael, smile more. I would like to go with answer
• 17:05
  number one. I think he's just very happy.
• 17:09
  This is vacation. Because you're reaching out to
• 17:10
  people, real folks out there. But there's something you said
• 17:13
  in this that really struck out, stuck out to me, and I wanted
• 17:16
  you to listen to it. But I want the audience to hear
• 17:17
  it as well. Let's play it.
• 17:19
  Robert asked me on his show what is money?
• 17:23
  I had never questioned what is money?
• 17:26
  And then we explored it together for many, many hours.
• 17:31
  And it And when I finished that exploration, my conclusion was
• 17:37
  Money is economic energy. Economic energy.
• 17:40
  What does that mean? Yeah.
• 17:43
  It is the question of our time, Charles, and it's a question
• 17:45
  that I went most of my adult life without understanding.
• 17:47
  But economic energy is capital. Economic energy is wealth.
• 17:51
  And so if you think about the wealth in the world, there's
• 17:53
  maybe $900 trillion of it right now.
• 17:55
  And it's tied up in real estate and stocks and bonds and
• 17:57
  currencies, collectibles, etcetera.
• 17:59
  The challenge is that that capital is analog capital from
• 18:02
  the 20th century, and Bitcoin represents the digital
• 18:05
  transformation of capital. And your chart you just showed
• 18:08
  with those ETFs shows that every day in the last five days, $481
• 18:12
  million is flowing out of the analog world into the digital
• 18:16
  world. And what's going to drive
• 18:18
  Bitcoin is in essence the conversion of analog capital to
• 18:21
  digital capital. The killer use cases is capital
• 18:24
  preservation and capital appreciation.
• 18:26
  And you know, you're, you know, the name of the show is making
• 18:29
  money. That's what everybody wants to
• 18:30
  do. And money is capital.
• 18:31
  In the same podcast you talked about Rockefeller and I guess
• 18:34
  the Baron some of the so-called Robert Barons in general who in
• 18:37
  modern times get a bad you know it's a bad thing to be a robber
• 18:40
  Baron right. But we know they help to change
• 18:42
  the course of humanity for the oh for net, net for the positive
• 18:45
  but but the just the implications of what can be done
• 18:47
  once you convert this conversion.
• 18:48
  You're talking about taking the and going from the analog wealth
• 18:51
  converting into digital wealth. How much more it could be a
• 18:53
  positive for humanity overall. You know, civilizations, they
• 18:57
  rise or fall based upon the creation and channeling of
• 18:59
  energy. And and we think of power as
• 19:01
  energy delivered in a certain period of time with a focus.
• 19:03
  So it's all about firepower, naval power, air power, nuclear
• 19:06
  power. Rockefeller gave us liquid
• 19:08
  energy in the form of oil. Bitcoin is digital property.
• 19:12
  It's conveyed by digital power. Those Bitcoin miners are digital
• 19:15
  power providers and it's the most powerful computer network
• 19:18
  in the world. So we see this as profound
• 19:22
  because there's hundreds of trillions of dollars of wealth
• 19:24
  in the analog world, and there's no doubt it's decaying.
• 19:27
  Bonds are losing value because of inflation, real estate's
• 19:30
  losing value due to just physical decay.
• 19:33
  Stocks lose value because of competition and and product
• 19:35
  cycles and acts of God. And so the people of the world,
• 19:39
  they're looking for a new idea. And Bitcoin is this idea of put
• 19:42
  your money in cyberspace where it's not going to be affected by
• 19:45
  weather and war and supply chains and all of the things
• 19:48
  that have plagued us in the 20th century.
• 19:49
  Now to that end, I know Micro Strategies has sort of rebranded
• 19:52
  itself, I think it's it's called now Bitcoin development company.
• 19:54
  What exactly does that mean and have you have you moving
• 19:57
  completely away from the traditional business?
• 20:00
  Now we've got a very healthy software business, but we've now
• 20:02
  got nearly $10 billion in Bitcoin.
• 20:04
  And we've got a very large equity market cap.
• 20:07
  And we can tap the capital markets as an operating company
• 20:09
  and we can leverage our market cap in order to issue equity,
• 20:12
  issue debt, buy back our debt. We can restructure our capital
• 20:16
  structure so that our shareholders get more Bitcoin.
• 20:19
  So just like you know, you want to develop New York City, you're
• 20:22
  going to borrow money and you're going to build a building.
• 20:24
  You know what we're doing is we're issuing securities in
• 20:27
  order to buy Bitcoin, in order to promote the Bitcoin network,
• 20:30
  lock up the Bitcoin forever and then build the entire ecosystem.
• 20:33
  I. Got to tell you, I wouldn't bet
• 20:35
  against you, Michael. And I think, I think a whole lot
• 20:37
  of folks have learned that the hard way.
• 20:38
  Congratulations. Always appreciate when you come
• 20:39
  on the show. Pearls of wisdom appreciate it.
• 20:41
  That is winning, ladies and gentlemen.
• 20:43
  That is winning. That is winning.
• 20:46
  Michael Saylor knows he won. This is vindication.
• 20:49
  This is something that we've all gone through as Bitcoiners,
• 20:53
  especially the first couple cycles.
• 20:55
  You know, my, my, my mom has been holding Bitcoin as long as
• 21:00
  I've been holding Bitcoin 2016. But, you know, for the first
• 21:03
  couple of years, you know, she thought I was a psychopath.
• 21:07
  Now you know she is saying stuff like and the Fed, even though
• 21:11
  she doesn't necessarily know how to send a Bitcoin transaction,
• 21:14
  but she's fully orange peeled number go up technology does its
• 21:17
  thing. So Michael Saylor had to pay the
• 21:20
  price of tuition and Aimbu Kelly just like everyone else.
• 21:23
  And of course, you know, you feel the pain.
• 21:26
  For a couple of it's a little bit different because he's, you
• 21:28
  know, the head of a public company.
• 21:30
  But you feel the pain for the, you know, first couple years of
• 21:33
  that first bear market you go through and then you come out of
• 21:36
  that. And then what happens?
• 21:38
  You look like a genius. And guess what?
• 21:40
  You're not a genius. You just bought Bitcoin and held
• 21:42
  it. But it's really that simple.
• 21:45
  And this is a huge vindication for Michael Saylor.
• 21:48
  But the implications of it are massive.
• 21:51
  And what are the implications? The implications are, look,
• 21:54
  guys, because Michael Saylor did this on a public company level,
• 21:59
  it's going to become very apparent, right.
• 22:01
  And of course, the ETFs have been introduced.
• 22:04
  It's going to be coming to very apparent that a Bitcoin strategy
• 22:08
  isn't an option, it's a necessity.
• 22:11
  And if your competitor adopts, let's say Apple adopts a Bitcoin
• 22:16
  strategy and puts a percentage of their they have so much cash,
• 22:19
  they're sitting on cash, it's like a melting ice cube.
• 22:21
  And they put a percentage of that into Bitcoin and all of a
• 22:25
  sudden you're Microsoft, You are at a competitive, a competitive
• 22:30
  disadvantage to the other company that did that.
• 22:34
  And what a lot of people forget also is that there's already a
• 22:37
  car company that has already done, this is a very famous car
• 22:40
  company. You guys all know it.
• 22:42
  And I'm talking about Tesla. Tesla owns about 9000 Bitcoin,
• 22:46
  and they're up on that too, right?
• 22:48
  So what's going to happen? I suspect this cycle is you're
• 22:53
  going to see other public companies follow in the
• 22:55
  footsteps of Michael Saylor and you're going to see other nation
• 22:58
  states follow in the footsteps of Nayan Bukele.
• 23:01
  Because it's going to be very apparent that not adopting a
• 23:04
  Bitcoin standard is actually hurting you and all those, you
• 23:08
  know, traditional financial advisors, right.
• 23:12
  You saw it in the Canadian ETF where, and This is why I thought
• 23:16
  it was so historic. They, you know, in a
• 23:18
  conservative ETF they're allocating 1% to Bitcoin.
• 23:22
  What happens when that 1% allocation outperforms the rest
• 23:26
  of the portfolio? What happens then?
• 23:28
  They're going to increase that allocation, right?
• 23:30
  It's a domino effect. And you have some of the
• 23:33
  smartest salesman, some of the smartest, you know, financial
• 23:37
  minds. They now have a tool and I'm
• 23:39
  referencing the ETF in order to pitch that to some of the
• 23:43
  wealthiest people on the face of the planet, which use, you know,
• 23:46
  a lot of those, you know, wealth management banks and Goldman
• 23:49
  Sachs and Morgan Stanley and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 23:52
  blah, blah, right. So this is, you know, the
• 23:55
  Michael Saylor said it best. This is the birth of a new
• 23:58
  financial asset and it's, you know, it's been the fastest
• 24:02
  growing in history, right. We've played you guys the videos
• 24:05
  from pomp many times, right? It went out the gates really,
• 24:09
  really fast. It's grown extremely fast,
• 24:11
  tremendous amount of interest. That's why we show you guys the,
• 24:15
  you know, shout out to Bitcoin treasuries and they do a great
• 24:17
  job kind of, you know, keeping track of that.
• 24:21
  But that number keeps going higher.
• 24:23
  When we first started covering that, like guys reference, it
• 24:26
  was like, I think like maybe maybe my minds playing tricks on
• 24:30
  me, but it was like like a 25,000 Bitcoin, right?
• 24:33
  It's like they, they've accumulated so much Bitcoin in
• 24:35
  such little time since the beginning and that's inflows.
• 24:39
  That is like interest, right? That's people wanting to get a
• 24:43
  piece of the pie. So yeah, I mean, this is crazy.
• 24:46
  This is definitely a new type of moment in Bitcoin's history.
• 24:52
  And it's not the shadow, you know, cryptocurrency type of
• 24:57
  thing that it was. It still is to me.
• 24:59
  Of course, you know, I'm still, you know, bitcoiner that takes
• 25:02
  self custody. I still run my own node.
• 25:04
  But it's also becoming accepted in the legacy financial system
• 25:08
  as a respectable asset that you need to hold.
• 25:12
  Hector, what's your take on that?
• 25:14
  And then we'll move on to OPTI. Look, Michael said it best.
• 25:18
  You know, civilizations rise and fall based on their ability to
• 25:22
  channel and focus energy. The same thing goes for
• 25:25
  corporations. The same thing goes for
• 25:27
  individuals. The same thing goes for
• 25:29
  families, right? And like you said Nico, what do
• 25:32
  you think is going to happen when more and more of these
• 25:35
  companies, nation States and individuals realize that they
• 25:40
  are leaking their monetary energy, their economic energy,
• 25:44
  their life force little by little by sitting on these
• 25:46
  melting ice cubes of cash. Well, they're going to put that
• 25:50
  energy somewhere where it is not going to dissipate.
• 25:53
  They're going to become more efficient with their economic
• 25:56
  energy and that is going to be more flows into in into Bitcoin
• 26:00
  and number keep going up and you know Michael is super happy
• 26:03
  because he's starting to see those payouts.
• 26:05
  If things keep going this way for for for Michael and for
• 26:08
  MicroStrategy eventually he's going to be up so much that he's
• 26:11
  going to have almost as much money as Elizabeth Warren has
• 26:14
  made since she took office in the Senate.
• 26:17
  You know, he's he's on A roll and he deserves everything that
• 26:21
  he's earned through his patients and his foresight. 100 percent,
• 26:24
  100%. And guys, remember you.
• 26:27
  We, I call it. And there's a there's a, you
• 26:29
  know, a popular viral Dave Portnoy video going around.
• 26:33
  We're covered on Monday but everyone pays a price of tuition
• 26:38
  including Michael Saylor including Naimbu Kelly, if you
• 26:41
  guys are new to this if you guys are class of 2020, you're you.
• 26:44
  You're you're about to feel the benefits of paying that tuition.
• 26:48
  If you've held through, if you've continued to stack, if
• 26:51
  your conviction has grown. I remember my first bear market.
• 26:55
  You know I had to go back to work.
• 26:57
  My Fiat job it like to be frank it sucked ass. 2018 was just
• 27:02
  terrible. 20/19 was like horrific.
• 27:05
  It really, really, it was not nice.
• 27:08
  It was very uncomfortable. Right.
• 27:10
  But then 2020 came around and it was like, wow, that was actually
• 27:14
  a really good idea. And then this is going to be my
• 27:17
  my second bull market, Opti. This is going to be our second
• 27:19
  bull market, bro. Like, holy.
• 27:21
  And then you're now at this point you're just so like, yeah,
• 27:23
  this was an amazing idea. Like, you know, I'm on a Bitcoin
• 27:26
  standard. My life, everything gets cheaper
• 27:29
  around me because my unit of account is just superior to
• 27:34
  everything else, right. So, Opti, what's your take?
• 27:37
  I mean, dude, you you saw that sailors becoming Optimus Fields,
• 27:41
  bro. He's he's taking, he's taking
• 27:44
  your Thunder, man. He's smiling.
• 27:46
  Like what? Bro, he's he's smiling in the
• 27:49
  beginning of every show. You got to what's going on,
• 27:52
  Opti? You got to catch up?
• 27:54
  You can't a long time you. Can't let like sailors steal
• 27:58
  your throne, bro. Hey, well you know, if I was a
• 28:01
  billionaire holding a hundreds, what, 1% of the Bitcoin supply,
• 28:05
  I'd be smiling every single day for any reason, obviously.
• 28:08
  But yeah, man, Sailor. Sailor really put on a master
• 28:12
  class for the world to watch. And it's been absolutely
• 28:16
  incredible to see him stack that much Bitcoin with his public
• 28:21
  company, but also with his private stash.
• 28:24
  You see him literally doing all the Fiat games to play, to stack
• 28:28
  more Bitcoin. Absolutely incredible.
• 28:30
  Just like leveraged up to the gills and stacking as much
• 28:33
  Bitcoin as ever. Literally like speculating A
• 28:36
  speculative attack on the dollar in real time in front of every
• 28:39
  single person. And then he goes out on
• 28:41
  corporate press, was doing the the tours on corporate press for
• 28:45
  I don't know what how long has he been in like 2-3 years or
• 28:48
  whatever. I don't Maybe longer and just
• 28:50
  absolutely dropping the sauce on every single person for a long
• 28:55
  time and it's kind of what I said yesterday.
• 28:56
  Guys remember as a bitcoiner, we still have cycles.
• 29:00
  So there's usually about what like three years that you're
• 29:03
  considered an idiot to everyone around you and then one year
• 29:07
  maybe a little more where you're considered a genius.
• 29:09
  Well, we're moving into the all bitcoiners are genius part of
• 29:12
  the cycle and seeing Sailor just dunk on Wall Street Journal it
• 29:17
  it it's absolutely amazing. You know, he's like, yeah, I'm
• 29:20
  still betting on Bitcoin. I'm still doubling down.
• 29:23
  What's going on here? Hold on, Wine just gave a sneak
• 29:28
  peek of the. Simply Bitcoin merge.
• 29:31
  Oh wait, look at that. Look at that.
• 29:32
  Look at that. Wait, look at the other side.
• 29:34
  Look. At that, look at that.
• 29:36
  Look at it. Oh, oh, oh.
• 29:40
  Wow, the leak. Dude.
• 29:43
  I lost. I lost my train of thought.
• 29:46
  Oh yeah, OK Sailor just loved to see what he said on that clip.
• 29:52
  Like he absolutely. What was it like a one minute, 2
• 29:55
  minute clip. I think he if you understand
• 29:57
  anything going on in the world, I think he perfectly laid out
• 30:00
  what is going on and shouts out to Charles Payne.
• 30:02
  It's been beautiful to see him become a Bitcoin maxi.
• 30:06
  He's a hardcore. He's hardcore.
• 30:08
  Like, but shout out like you. You got to give her credit.
• 30:12
  Like, shout out to Natalie. OK, 'cause like I I remember.
• 30:15
  I think it's also like Sailor Natalie, a lot of people in on
• 30:19
  the show. Every time she gets better and
• 30:22
  she gets more savage in her. And of course, you know, it's
• 30:25
  traditional legacy trained of course.
• 30:27
  But like she gets more like, you know, it's like surgically
• 30:30
  surgical, precision dropping bombs, dropping signal on legacy
• 30:35
  media. And yeah, that he definitely
• 30:38
  converted. And I think, I think, I think
• 30:40
  Mr. Payne went on Natalie's podcast too.
• 30:43
  Right So. He's been making some.
• 30:45
  He's definitely a bitcoiner at this point.
• 30:47
  He's a bitcoiner for sure. No, and he just loves.
• 30:49
  To see we got, we got Charles. Turn.
• 30:54
  Was like eating Gary Gensler alive in that interview, right?
• 30:58
  Yes, we're making huge strides. I think this cycle is gonna be.
• 31:03
  We said that last time, but I'm gonna say it anyways.
• 31:05
  I think this cycle is gonna be different.
• 31:07
  I'm beyond excited. Well, I don't know about
• 31:10
  necessarily different per SE, but I think we are actually
• 31:12
  going to get a very incredible blow off top because it really
• 31:16
  feels like the culture around Bitcoin is changing.
• 31:19
  Like I remember when I got into 2017 that it Bitcoin was framed
• 31:23
  as a very negative thing. There were everyone's like
• 31:26
  confused like oh what's going on with Bitcoin?
• 31:27
  Like how is it getting to 10K? And now it's what seven years
• 31:31
  later and everyone's like oh we like it's obvious it's going to
• 31:35
  break all time high again. Like it's it's not even a
• 31:38
  consideration of like Bitcoin is going to die unless it's these
• 31:41
  paid propagandists to talk against Bitcoin they're dyke yo
• 31:44
  is it really going to six figures this time are we really
• 31:47
  going to a million. So like the conversation has
• 31:49
  fundamentally shifted and and before we move off I see we're
• 31:52
  we're going a little long. I really loved that sailor
• 31:56
  talking about money like what is money?
• 31:58
  And continue to ask that question on Fox News and saying
• 32:02
  I I forget how he named it, but essentially saying that money is
• 32:06
  essentially the scoreboard for economic games.
• 32:08
  Like to me, I think that's such a it's such a good metaphor.
• 32:13
  I'm not even metaphor, but just a good way of framing what money
• 32:16
  is, 'cause, you know everyone doesn't really think about
• 32:18
  money. They they're just like oh,
• 32:19
  whatever, you know, they they maybe parrot the like the love
• 32:22
  of money is the root of all evil type stuff.
• 32:24
  And it's like guys, money is a technology that that we all
• 32:28
  tally how productive we are in society and what we offer to the
• 32:33
  world. It's literally a scoreboard for
• 32:35
  economic games. And I I, you know, I can't do a
• 32:38
  justice to what Saylor says considering he's a rocket
• 32:41
  scientist and I'm left side of the bell curve.
• 32:42
  But you guys heard it. Rewind it.
• 32:44
  Play that to all your friends and family and this is is a
• 32:47
  defining conversation. People are waking up to the fact
• 32:50
  that they are holding the worst money and it is Fiat and you can
• 32:53
  have an opportunity to stack Bitcoin and this is how you
• 32:56
  protect yourself. As we were saying, like, yo, I
• 33:00
  think the cracks are happening and we're the whole world's
• 33:02
  going Weimar. Like, I I don't want to be,
• 33:04
  like, fighting the world economy right now, but I'm just reading
• 33:08
  the signs. And, you know, I know they fudge
• 33:11
  the numbers, but I'm pretty sure we've been in a recession for a
• 33:14
  long time and now everyone's finally coming out and saying
• 33:17
  it. Man, man, man.
• 33:19
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get to the news.
• 33:22
  We've got a lot to talk about today.

• 35:06
  the tune I don't you know there's three.
• 35:11
  I'm gonna I'm gonna make my full myself full screen before I got
• 35:14
  into this. So there's there's three things
• 35:16
  that could be happening right now either a rogue staffer.
• 35:20
  OK. She pivoted.
• 35:23
  Which I think is like the most unlikely option.
• 35:25
  Like to be perfectly frank even though like even though you know
• 35:28
  I I've confirmed this with with Bitcoin mag.
• 35:32
  Apparently her staffers are aware of this.
• 35:36
  I I like I just don't see how she goes from like you know
• 35:40
  Bitcoin is Satan to like let's fly a flag to celebrate Satoshi.
• 35:45
  I just, I in my mind, I don't believe it.
• 35:48
  Maybe I have such PTSD from being attacked.
• 35:52
  And then the third is someone bought the flag, you know, and
• 35:58
  they pulled like a very highly sophisticated troll.
• 36:01
  And the community note apparently says that.
• 36:03
  So I don't know. I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't
• 36:06
  know which one it is. I have no idea.
• 36:09
  But but regardless let's get into today's story.
• 36:13
  So this is the infamous Wall Street Journal.
• 36:16
  Great track record. I mean they got that completely
• 36:19
  right with the sailor and that was sarcasm.
• 36:24
  Anyways, so here is the infamous article that led to a couple of
• 36:31
  things. This led to more Senators
• 36:35
  signing up to Elizabeth Warren's anti Bitcoin bill that would
• 36:40
  attack self custody would be a de facto ban on Bitcoin mining
• 36:45
  in the United States. Pierre Richard's words not mine.
• 36:49
  And you know, this article also led to the fencen to introduce
• 36:56
  using the Patriot Act to circumvent the legislative
• 36:58
  process, to introduce a proposed regulations that would basically
• 37:05
  be this all-encompassing surveillance on every type of
• 37:09
  Bitcoin transaction, right. And essentially they took
• 37:13
  advantage and and and I got pretty emotional in a tweet a
• 37:16
  couple days ago, I said it's absolutely disgusting that and
• 37:20
  I'll show you guys the thread in a little bit that Elizabeth
• 37:23
  Warren took advantage of a tragedy because that's what this
• 37:26
  is, a tragedy happening, you know, in Israel and Palestine to
• 37:30
  to move forward a political agenda, right.
• 37:34
  It's it's absolutely disgusting. This article and its claims
• 37:39
  turned out to be misinformation, a misrepresentation of the data
• 37:44
  and you'll hear it from the congressional testimony.
• 37:48
  Don't take my word for it. So the article's headline is
• 37:51
  Hamas militants behind Israel attack raised millions in
• 37:55
  crypto. You you you hear that?
• 37:58
  And you're like, holy cow. I think the actual number came
• 38:01
  out to like 400,000, but it's more damning than that.
• 38:04
  And I'll. I'll show you guys the video
• 38:06
  itself. But remember, this article
• 38:09
  caused a lot of damage, right? Got Senators to sign up to
• 38:14
  Elizabeth Warren's bill. It got Fin CEN to propose this
• 38:19
  crazy regulation. Shout out to I think it was like
• 38:22
  30 Bitcoin companies and it was 10/31.
• 38:25
  That led the initiative that wrote, you know, a great
• 38:29
  response back, so shout out to that movement.
• 38:31
  So we definitely fought back as a community.
• 38:34
  However you know it, it it it, they tried to attack us.
• 38:37
  They tried to use the legacy media, just like the Wall Street
• 38:41
  Journal attacked Michael Saylor. You know, they dropped the ball
• 38:45
  here as well, right? Anyways, so you know, this is
• 38:49
  when I saw this. I got, I'll be honest with you,
• 38:52
  I got very upset. I I You know.
• 38:56
  It it it. What happened?
• 38:57
  I have a lot of friends that, you know, I have a lot of
• 39:01
  friends that are, you know, that are Israeli and I and you know,
• 39:07
  I I hear the pain, right. And then of course, for the
• 39:10
  Palestinian people as well. And you're talking about
• 39:13
  children, You're talking about families that were, you know,
• 39:17
  that were were were, you know, were unfortunately were killed
• 39:20
  on both sides. Right.
• 39:22
  And it's a horrible situation. And for a politician to use that
• 39:28
  for a political agenda is absolutely disgusting.
• 39:32
  And that's exactly what Elizabeth Warren did.
• 39:36
  And she should resign for that. You don't do that.
• 39:41
  Especially if it's not true. Especially if it's not true.
• 39:46
  She knew the data wasn't true, and she did it anyway.
• 39:51
  That's not cool. That's not.
• 39:53
  It's not acceptable. This is not.
• 39:56
  I'm a first generation America American.
• 39:58
  This is not the America that I was sold on.
• 40:02
  This is bullshit. Anyways, so this is what I
• 40:05
  tweeted. I said Elizabeth Warren lied.
• 40:07
  She should resign. Using a tragedy for political
• 40:09
  purposes is absolutely disgusting.
• 40:12
  If you're a bitcoiner who lives in Massachusetts, she's up for
• 40:15
  re election this year. Now what made me say this?
• 40:19
  It was this congressional testimony.
• 40:22
  Here is Thomas Emmer. He's a he's a representative and
• 40:26
  he is interviewing or you know, I I don't know what the correct
• 40:29
  terminology is, but the head of the fence end and let's check
• 40:33
  out some of the things that he had to say.
• 40:36
  Thank you, Madam Chair, and I want to thank Chairman McHenry
• 40:39
  for holding this important hearing today, and I want to
• 40:42
  thank you. By the way, for anyone who's
• 40:44
  wondering what's that black stuff on his head, it was Ash
• 40:47
  Wednesday when this happened. All of our witnesses are our our
• 40:51
  witnesses. For your testimony on October
• 40:54
  10th, 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that between
• 40:57
  August 2021 and June 2023, Hamas received 41 million in digital
• 41:03
  assets and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad received 93
• 41:08
  million in digital assets Under Secretary Nelson.
• 41:12
  Is this Treasury's assessment too?
• 41:14
  Because the world's leading blockchain analytics firms have
• 41:18
  called this a misinterpretation of the data and that the amount
• 41:22
  these that any terrorist might have received is significantly
• 41:26
  smaller. Thank you for that question,
• 41:29
  Congressman. And and yes, I think that
• 41:33
  assessment largely tracks with our own the the numbers noted in
• 41:38
  the Wall Street Journal piece talked about wallets, but not
• 41:40
  necessarily the, you know, sort of disaggregated among the
• 41:43
  wallets. It's it's assets that people had
• 41:46
  in their wallets as opposed to what was specifically going to
• 41:51
  the Palestinian Islamic yes, I think.
• 41:55
  Is most likely and we also assess that terrorists still
• 41:58
  prefer, prefer frankly to use traditional products and
• 42:01
  services, but this is something that we are obviously monitoring
• 42:04
  very quickly. Hear that terrorists prefer to
• 42:08
  use the traditional financial system.
• 42:11
  Hear that also mentioning, Yeah, the Wall Street Journal.
• 42:15
  The Wall Street Journal article, this one.
• 42:17
  They got it wrong. They misrepresented the data and
• 42:20
  it had real life consequences to it.
• 42:23
  Now I have a question. Is the fencen going to rescind
• 42:27
  their surveillance proposal that was based on that article?
• 42:31
  That was, you know, a lot of pressure came because of that
• 42:34
  article. What about the senators that
• 42:36
  signed up to support Elizabeth Warren's bill?
• 42:38
  Are they going to back up? They're going to back out.
• 42:41
  Because they should Now, now that they're the head of the
• 42:46
  fencen is saying this himself. Are they are they going to do
• 42:51
  that? And now here's where, like the
• 42:53
  coincidence came in, right? And it it was, the timing was
• 42:56
  was very strange to me And you know, and I and I came to like,
• 43:01
  is she trying to like save her own skin?
• 43:04
  Like, what's going on here? Because if you're Elizabeth
• 43:07
  Warren, this does not look good. Like this is, this is bad.
• 43:11
  It's just bad. Does not look good because you
• 43:15
  clearly lied. You clearly misrepresented data
• 43:18
  like, you know, and and and of course you knew what was going
• 43:21
  on. Right.
• 43:23
  And and there's been a history of, you know, the government and
• 43:27
  government officials using legacy media for political
• 43:31
  means. Like the most famous one in the
• 43:33
  United States is the 9/11. Iraq had weapons of mass
• 43:36
  destruction. That was the New York Times that
• 43:39
  originally pushed that forward. And then it was revealed after
• 43:42
  the fact that it was actually the intelligence agencies that
• 43:46
  were feeding them that information.
• 43:47
  But because I quote, UN quote, Iraq had weapons of mass
• 43:50
  destruction that led to the invasion of Iraq.
• 43:53
  It was later discovered that Iraq never had weapons of mass
• 43:55
  destruction. So this playbook I feel like has
• 43:58
  happened before and I think they tried to pull a fast one.
• 44:01
  The only difference is now we live in the age of social media.
• 44:05
  We live in the age of the Internet and we were able to
• 44:08
  swarm the bullshit when it was happening and they were caught
• 44:11
  with their pants down, essentially.
• 44:13
  That's my opinion. Now check out the timing because
• 44:16
  this came out and then the next day this happened, right?
• 44:22
  So this is, this is the Bitcoin magazine, and I'm just really, I
• 44:26
  'cause I know what a lot of people are thinking, which is,
• 44:31
  you know, like like is this real?
• 44:35
  So these photos that were given to Bitcoin Magazine were were
• 44:41
  received by a staffer right from Elizabeth Warren's office.
• 44:46
  So I mean like think of it as you may so just like connect the
• 44:52
  dots that video dropped and then this came out the next day.
• 44:55
  So is she trying to save her own skin?
• 44:57
  Did she change tune? I don't know.
• 45:01
  I don't know. I have no idea.
• 45:02
  But it it's very weird to me. So here's the article has all
• 45:06
  the information. Shout out to Bitcoin Magazine.
• 45:09
  The headline is for audio listeners.
• 45:10
  Elizabeth Warren Pivots on Bitcoin Honors Nakamoto with
• 45:13
  Flag Over Capital. After years of vilifying Bitcoin
• 45:16
  as money for criminals, terrorists, and climate change
• 45:19
  deniers, Senator Elizabeth Warren honored Satoshi Nakamoto
• 45:22
  for the 15th anniversary of the network's launch.
• 45:24
  With a commemorative flag flown over the United States Capitol
• 45:28
  unveiled by NY CS Pub Key, an unexpected turn of events.
• 45:32
  Elizabeth Warren, the longtime adversary of Bitcoin on Capitol
• 45:35
  Hill, has seen the orange tinted light and quite literally raised
• 45:38
  a flag to praise the work of Bitcoin's anonymous creator,
• 45:41
  Satoshi Nakamoto. Celebrating 15 years since the
• 45:44
  network launched, Here's the official thing, says the flag of
• 45:47
  the United States of America. This is to certify the
• 45:50
  accompanying flag was flown over the United States Capitol in
• 45:53
  honor of Satoshi Nakamoto for the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin,
• 45:57
  the first truly inclusive financial system that is
• 46:00
  providing new economic freedoms to populations previously
• 46:02
  ignored by both public and private institutions.
• 46:05
  Americans are forever grateful. Signed Elizabeth Warren, US
• 46:09
  Senator from Massachusetts, in participation of Capital Flag
• 46:13
  Program. Senator Warren's office
• 46:15
  submitted a request to commemorate Nakamoto's
• 46:17
  accomplishment of creating the first truly inclusive financial
• 46:20
  system with the colors of the United States being flown above
• 46:23
  the Capitol on December 18th, 2023, a date known to Bitcoiners
• 46:28
  as Huddle Day. While the sudden embrace of
• 46:30
  Bitcoin by the Massachusetts Senator may seem a surprise, her
• 46:34
  career, her career long rhetoric about fighting for the
• 46:36
  financially underserved has finally taken shape within the
• 46:40
  within. This tangible statement, as if
• 46:42
  speaking to her campaign, promises to champion the working
• 46:45
  class negatively affected by corruption with within both the
• 46:49
  government and the banking sector.
• 46:50
  The certificate, produced by the Architect of the Capital and
• 46:53
  recognition of the Flag, notes the quote new economic freedoms
• 46:57
  to populations previously ignored by both private and
• 47:00
  public institutions, brought forward by Nakamoto Bitcoin.
• 47:04
  The senator's office filing for the flag itself flying itself
• 47:07
  was noticed by friends of Bitcoin magazine Pub Key, who
• 47:10
  are holding a public event in New York City this evening,
• 47:13
  February 15th, 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, to unveil not
• 47:16
  only the story of the flag, but the flag itself, complete with a
• 47:22
  dramatized reading of the infamous December 18th, 2013
• 47:26
  post on Bitcoin Talk that immortalized the huddle within.
• 47:30
  We've read you guys that many times within the Bitcoin lexicon
• 47:33
  from actor, comedian and bitcoiner TJ Miller prior to the
• 47:36
  event itself, An ex Spaces hosted by Bitcoin Magazine and
• 47:40
  Pub Key at 4:30 will further tell the story of how Satoshi's
• 47:44
  flag and Warren's endorsement came to be.
• 47:46
  Much like during the mid 1770s, Freedom Focus bars such as Pub
• 47:51
  Key played an important role in socializing.
• 47:54
  The ideas and stories that make up a revolution now, like, I
• 47:58
  feel you guys, 'cause I'm on that.
• 48:00
  Like like like like I just like I, I, I, you know, you went from
• 48:06
  Elizabeth Warren, like basically like, you know, with all this
• 48:09
  hostile ass wording and legislation and all this stuff
• 48:13
  to, you know, essentially like changing tune.
• 48:17
  Like, I mean, is that a thing? I mean I wouldn't put it past
• 48:22
  her she is a politician but like you know like I I don't know.
• 48:27
  I I I'm skeptical. I'll put like I said I'm
• 48:30
  skeptical I I do also want to give a little bit of context
• 48:35
  that you know apparently for context is a Twitter community
• 48:40
  note or X community note quote. Anyone can purchase a flag that
• 48:45
  has flown over the Capitol. US Representative Jen Jim Cooper
• 48:51
  said his website, like those of other members of Congress, has a
• 48:55
  link to the flag program. Therefore, it doesn't mean that
• 48:58
  Elizabeth Warren has pivoted her views on Bitcoin.
• 49:01
  So, I mean, this is either, like I said, this is either, you
• 49:05
  know, a couple of a couple of things, right?
• 49:08
  My vote is I think this is an epic troll.
• 49:12
  I think someone just bought the flag off the website and they
• 49:15
  just trolled the F out of Elizabeth Warren.
• 49:18
  I think that Bitcoin Magazine article was an epic troll.
• 49:23
  I don't believe that Elizabeth Warren has changed her views on
• 49:27
  Bitcoin but this is absolutely fucking hilarious And or there's
• 49:35
  a rogue staffer that did it within or she's actually pivoted
• 49:38
  and changed her views on Bitcoin and she's actually aligning with
• 49:43
  what she has championed right. Which is like she's for the
• 49:47
  public and she's anti corruption but I tend to lean to this is an
• 49:53
  epic troll and someone got her like that's that's that's what I
• 49:57
  think my question is like how did this how did this just go
• 50:01
  through her website like how did no one catch this you know this
• 50:04
  is absolutely hilarious in my opinion and shout out to Bitcoin
• 50:08
  magazine and shout out to pub key like like check 40 check
• 50:13
  move in my opinion So yeah I I, I unless I hear it from her
• 50:19
  mouth I think I think Elizabeth Warren is still anti Bitcoin in
• 50:24
  my opinion that's that's my take Opti what do you think then
• 50:28
  we'll pass it on to Hector. Yeah, so Elizabeth Warren just
• 50:32
  got epically trolled. Just love to see it shouts out
• 50:35
  to Pub Key NYC. But I did see Caitlyn Long when
• 50:39
  this news story came out. I did try to look into it and be
• 50:41
  like I I just instantly thought it was like fake news.
• 50:44
  I'm like, what's going on here? Like, this can't be happening.
• 50:46
  We know Elizabeth Warren's not gonna pivot on her Bitcoin
• 50:49
  stance when she doubled down on it so hard.
• 50:52
  And from what I saw, you know, Caitlyn Long was tweeting that
• 50:56
  she has confirmed, well at least rather privately, that there is
• 51:00
  a bitcoiner on her staff. So, you know, a few things maybe
• 51:05
  played out, maybe the the bitcoiner on the staff just kind
• 51:09
  of snuck one in. Second one, I think that like
• 51:13
  that community note and I kind of looked into it as well.
• 51:16
  I think all you have to do is just pay a little bit of money
• 51:18
  to to fly the flag and I think the point here though like the
• 51:22
  epic troll and and the highlighting of this aspect just
• 51:26
  goes to show that Elizabeth Warren doesn't realize or never
• 51:29
  checks what she puts her names on.
• 51:31
  So if she had to officially sign this then she had probably no
• 51:35
  idea what it was she just signed it and it went up.
• 51:38
  So again guys we say it all the time it is our meme world and
• 51:42
  everyone else is just living in it.
• 51:44
  So shouts out the pub key NYC this is an epic troll.
• 51:47
  It it just, it just really in my opinion highlights the
• 51:50
  incompetency of of the the government at large.
• 51:54
  And that's that's why I think this this troll is so epic
• 51:58
  because it is using their rules and their systems to basically
• 52:02
  ridicule and just show like how ridiculous it is And so you just
• 52:07
  love to see it. You know Elizabeth Warren has
• 52:09
  come out so hard against Bitcoin and then we get this where her
• 52:13
  name is officially connected to Satoshi Nakamoto and flying the
• 52:17
  flag over over the capital Nico. Did you read the whole
• 52:22
  certificate like what it said it's the the meme in it are so
• 52:26
  good. It's because you know she came
• 52:27
  out and saying like Bitcoin is for criminals and all this
• 52:31
  stuff. And on the note, it basically
• 52:33
  said like who The guys at pub key.
• 52:35
  It said something on the lines of like for economic freedom and
• 52:38
  for Bitcoin standing up for what America believes in.
• 52:41
  And it's just such a perfect troll considering that she came
• 52:45
  out so hard against it. Now her name is officially
• 52:47
  attached to honoring Satoshi Nakamoto.
• 52:50
  So you just love to see it and it really goes to some of the
• 52:54
  rules that you see playing out in political life that like, yo,
• 52:57
  these are the rules that they live by, use it against them and
• 53:01
  highlight how ridiculous it is and and basically embarrass
• 53:04
  them. I'd love to see this.
• 53:05
  And that's not too upkeep. Also Rules for Radicals, right?
• 53:08
  Exactly. Ridicule is a very, very, very
• 53:11
  potent tool. Use it.
• 53:14
  Use it. Use it.
• 53:15
  Use, you know, your opponent's words against them.
• 53:19
  Use their rules against them. And that those rules were
• 53:22
  followed here, right? We're using her own rhetoric
• 53:25
  against her because she, she's a champion of the people,
• 53:28
  apparently. So hey, you know you're not
• 53:31
  living up to what you say you will.
• 53:34
  So yeah, the epic troll master master move by pub key master
• 53:39
  move by Bitcoin mag. This is this is this is really
• 53:43
  good. This is how you win the culture
• 53:44
  war. The I'm not talking about the
• 53:46
  the culture culture war. I'm talking about the Bitcoin
• 53:47
  culture war. So anyways, I do want to get
• 53:51
  Hector's take. But before we do that guys there
• 53:53
  was roughly between Twitter and YouTube there's 400 people
• 53:58
  there's about 100 people watching us on Rumble guys smash
• 54:02
  the like button. Really, really helps with the
• 54:04
  algos. Takes like literally 2 seconds
• 54:07
  if you guys are enjoying the content.
• 54:08
  Really, really helps pushing the orange signal forward.
• 54:12
  So just smash the like button. Just smash it, smash it, smash
• 54:14
  it, smash it. Anyways, Hector, what's your
• 54:17
  take on this epic troll, huh? Or do you think do you think
• 54:21
  Elizabeth Warren has has seen the orange light?
• 54:25
  I think there's very little chance that she has seen the
• 54:28
  orange light. I kind of secretly hope that
• 54:30
  this is a little bit of karma, that it is sort of the staffer
• 54:33
  angle. What I really would love is if
• 54:35
  it was actually the same SEC staffer that allegedly pushed go
• 54:40
  a little early on the on the announcement of the Bitcoin ETFs
• 54:43
  a day early, got fired from the SEC and then got hired by
• 54:46
  Elizabeth Warren staff. And that's the same person who
• 54:49
  pushed this troll forward. But so shout out to pub key.
• 54:53
  Incredible troll. They're absolutely right.
• 54:56
  These are the kind of places pubs like this.
• 54:57
  I was just in the Green Dragon Inn, ironically, in Elizabeth's
• 55:01
  home state of Boston and Elizabeth's home state of
• 55:03
  Massachusetts a couple of months ago, where the Founding Fathers
• 55:06
  used to do their trolling and planning in order to to to do
• 55:10
  the American Revolution. And now places like Pub Key are
• 55:13
  helping to facilitate the digital monetary revolution with
• 55:17
  Bitcoin. So shouts out to them.
• 55:19
  And like you said Nico, this is the playbook, right?
• 55:22
  It is use legacy media along with political power in order to
• 55:25
  further lies, in order to deceive the public right.
• 55:28
  To add one more example, on to the ones you shared, how about
• 55:31
  World War One? How about the lies around the
• 55:33
  oversubscription of bonds that were happening in in England at
• 55:37
  the time where you know, where the the Times published said, oh
• 55:41
  man, people are loving these war bonds.
• 55:43
  We are all behind this war. And then guess what?
• 55:45
  Only about 100 years later did they finally come out and say,
• 55:49
  Oh yeah, guys, guess what? We made it up.
• 55:51
  We used a bunch of fake names. We bought the bonds ourselves.
• 55:54
  We lied you into World War One. Same playbook, same lies, same
• 55:58
  outcome. Don't believe it, right.
• 56:00
  Focus on the goal. Stay humble.
• 56:02
  Stack stats, that's the way. Yeah, that's the way.
• 56:05
  And if enough people do, and if enough people take self custody,
• 56:08
  we win this thing. There's no absolutely nothing
• 56:11
  they could do about it. That's why it's called the
• 56:13
  Peaceful Bitcoin Revolution. Anyways, guys, before we get
• 56:15
  into the culture to talk to Hector about what he's working
• 56:19
  on, I do want to give a shout out to our sponsors.
• 56:23

• 58:20
  Check out Kabir Rex and start your mining utopia.
• 58:25
  All right, everybody, let's talk to Hector.
• 58:27
  What's What's on Hector seems like.
• 58:30
  You might don't pull this up yet.
• 58:31
  Don't pull this up yet. It seems like you've been, it
• 58:33
  seems like you've been building in, you've been building in, you
• 58:37
  know, quiet, quietly building some things in the background.
• 58:41
  And then I think, where was it? It was.
• 58:45
  It was the spaces that we did together where you first made
• 58:47
  the announcement. So what is Rhino?
• 58:50
  What have you been building? What have you been working on,
• 58:52
  man? And also representing Miami,
• 58:55
  Baby, because Miami has a terrible reputation for all this
• 58:57
  shit. Coinery.
• 58:58
  So what is Rhino dude? We're going to push the shit
• 59:02
  coiners out of here one at a time and as quickly as possible.
• 59:05
  So yeah, so Rhino is a a a Bitcoin only exchange and
• 59:10
  financial services platform that just recently went live.
• 59:14
  We're in a soft launch right now, but we're going to be
• 59:17
  coming out to the world here pretty soon.
• 59:19
  And basically this came from, you know, some of the problems
• 59:22
  that all of us have Bitcoin as bitcoiners have seen.
• 59:25
  When we get into the space, you start buying Bitcoin and you go
• 59:29
  one place, then you want to use lightning, you got to go
• 59:32
  somewhere else. You want to buy things with
• 59:34
  Bitcoin, you go somewhere else, you want to send cross-border
• 59:37
  payments, you go somewhere else. And so it's a tough experience
• 59:40
  and that's great for us because we're all here for the
• 59:43
  revolution. But as we move into the
• 59:46
  mainstream and as the next 100,000,500 million billion
• 59:49
  people want to want to start experiencing, you know, true
• 59:53
  economic sovereignty, we want to give them an experience that is
• 59:56
  consistent, that is familiar and that where we can walk with them
• 1:00:00
  alongside as they go through their Bitcoin journey.
• 1:00:03
  And that's what Rhino does. So.
• 1:00:06
  Right now, you can buy and sell Bitcoin on the platform, You can
• 1:00:09
  send and receive Lightning payments.
• 1:00:10
  You can send remittances to India and Vietnam, with other
• 1:00:14
  countries coming online soon. And pretty soon we're going to
• 1:00:17
  have things like buying gift cards, bill payments, things
• 1:00:20
  like that. So we're going to keep building
• 1:00:22
  services for bitcoiners using Bitcoin only to keep on boarding
• 1:00:27
  that next generation of Bitcoiners that's about to enter
• 1:00:30
  the space. Love it.
• 1:00:32
  Let's, let's play. Let's play this clip that you,
• 1:00:34
  that you that you hinted to at the beginning.
• 1:00:38
  This is, this is the teed up question that Hector wanted us
• 1:00:42
  to ask him. He's like why do we need another
• 1:00:45
  place to buy Bitcoin? So and then he's like, all right
• 1:00:48
  I got the perfect thing. Here's this video.
• 1:00:50
  Do you guys remember this UPS ad?
• 1:00:52
  Here we go. This is what Hector is
• 1:00:54
  envisioning. 3. 2. One we are.
• 1:00:57
  Officially open for business? OK.
• 1:01:14
  Facing a virtual reality UPS can help you plan for it, manage it
• 1:01:19
  and deal with it. We deliver more E shipments than
• 1:01:21
  anyone UPS moving at the speed of business.
• 1:01:26
  Oh, man, love it. All right, so, Hector, what's
• 1:01:28
  what's what? What's your thinking here with
• 1:01:30
  this? Well, you know, I, I think it's
• 1:01:33
  a very normal question. I would ask it myself, you know,
• 1:01:35
  like why do we need another place to buy Bitcoin?
• 1:01:38
  And I think, you know, the answer maybe lies a bit in that
• 1:01:41
  commercial. You know if you hear listen to
• 1:01:44
  folks like Corey talk about you know the intransitive majority
• 1:01:47
  and or minority and onboarding, you know 10 million bitcoiners
• 1:01:51
  that takes a lot of work and we've got some great places to
• 1:01:53
  to buy Bitcoin and access Bitcoin services.
• 1:01:55
  Now we think we're going to be offering a differentiated
• 1:01:59
  solution that people are going to find very compelling and
• 1:02:01
  they'll let us know they'll vote with their wallets.
• 1:02:04
  But as we go to hundreds of thousands, millions, 10s of
• 1:02:07
  millions of new users in this next generation, we want to make
• 1:02:11
  sure that we're able to educate and empower them to learn about
• 1:02:15
  the Bitcoin ethos so that they don't get wrecked in the ship
• 1:02:18
  coin casinos like some of us have done in the past.
• 1:02:21
  So that they understand the importance of sovereignty and
• 1:02:23
  and taking ownership of their Bitcoin by holding their keys.
• 1:02:27
  That requires a lot of effort, and we are here to be a part of
• 1:02:30
  that and be a voice in that part of the space and help new
• 1:02:33
  bitcoiners learn the right way and maybe feel a little less
• 1:02:36
  pain than some of us did when we first got into Bitcoin.
• 1:02:40
  Yeah, I love it. Love it.
• 1:02:41
  OK, so what's what do you have on the road map for Rhino this
• 1:02:44
  year? Like what?
• 1:02:45
  What's coming down the plate? But you said you just soft
• 1:02:47
  launched, so this is official. Maybe the official hard launch.
• 1:02:52
  Is it live in all 50 states? What's going on here?
• 1:02:54
  So we're live in about 42 states currently and continuing to try
• 1:02:59
  to acquire more licenses so that we can broaden out to as many
• 1:03:03
  states as possible. But in terms of what's coming,
• 1:03:07
  the ability to spend Bitcoin on some things like buying gift
• 1:03:10
  cards and other things directly within the app is on the road
• 1:03:13
  map for the next couple of months.
• 1:03:14
  Right now we've got wire transfers currently live and ACH
• 1:03:18
  transfers are going to be coming live in the next several weeks.
• 1:03:22
  We're going to be integrating to provide bill payment services.
• 1:03:25
  So again, you can use your, your, your Bitcoin if you like
• 1:03:28
  to to pay for real world things. So we want to give people the
• 1:03:32
  ability not just to stack, but also to use properly custody,
• 1:03:36
  leverage lightning and those are some of the things that we plan
• 1:03:39
  on, on bringing this year as well as expanding our
• 1:03:42
  cross-border payment functionality to more and more
• 1:03:44
  countries around the world. Love it.
• 1:03:47
  Love it. I did.
• 1:03:47
  See on your website, you guys. Is the debit card live already?
• 1:03:51
  What's? Yeah, that's.
• 1:03:53
  Yeah, that's that's also that's on the late 2024, early 2025
• 1:03:57
  road map. We want to have the we had, we
• 1:03:59
  planned to bring that live a little earlier and then as some
• 1:04:03
  of our partners in the space can can attest banking services and
• 1:04:07
  those kinds of services are a fluid, fluid and changing
• 1:04:11
  environment day by day. It's part of the fun And so
• 1:04:15
  we're working on bringing that live here in the next number of
• 1:04:17
  quarters. Love it.
• 1:04:18
  Love it. Okay.
• 1:04:19
  Well, I see we got a special guest here, so I think I'm about
• 1:04:24
  to get kicked off into the meme review.
• 1:04:26
  But before we do this, hold on, hold on, Hector, I I've been
• 1:04:31
  doing this all the time, actually, because Winekus yells
• 1:04:33
  at me all the time to do this. What would be the last two sats?
• 1:04:36
  What's the last message you want to leave with our audience?
• 1:04:38
  It could be about Rhino. It could be about Bitcoin at
• 1:04:41
  large. Whatever's top of mind.
• 1:04:42
  What's the last rant you want to give to the people?
• 1:04:45
  Well, maybe I'll just bring it back to, you know, to the to the
• 1:04:48
  top of the show what you started talking about Opti, where, you
• 1:04:52
  know, growing and larger parts of the world are acknowledging
• 1:04:57
  that they are officially in recession.
• 1:05:00
  We know that some of the ones that are not officially in
• 1:05:02
  recession probably are unofficially in recession and
• 1:05:05
  eventually will become officially in recession.
• 1:05:07
  And what I would say is, look, this is, you know, recession is
• 1:05:11
  the new prosperity accord according to places like the
• 1:05:14
  World Economic Forum, right? Is this the happiness that they
• 1:05:17
  promised you know, the world that you'll loan nothing and
• 1:05:20
  you'll, you'll, you'll be happy? I don't think so, right.
• 1:05:23
  Is, is the stealing of our economic energy day by day?
• 1:05:27
  Is this the better world that they're promising us?
• 1:05:29
  I don't think so. There is that better world,
• 1:05:32
  though. There is that opportunity to
• 1:05:35
  preserve that wealth and to not have to participate in the theft
• 1:05:40
  of your future. So continue stacking.
• 1:05:43
  Continue talking to your friends.
• 1:05:44
  Be patient. When you talk to your friends
• 1:05:47
  and family about Bitcoin in this bull market, be wary of the I
• 1:05:51
  told you so response. When you start getting those
• 1:05:53
  messages from friends that come out of the word work, it's
• 1:05:55
  really easy to dunk on them. But remember, you probably
• 1:05:59
  didn't pick it up the first time you heard it about Bitcoin.
• 1:06:02
  So be patient with the people in your life that you want to bring
• 1:06:05
  into the Orange Revolution and into the lifeboat and and help
• 1:06:09
  them learn and help them build a better life with Bitcoin.
• 1:06:14
  That would be my last. 2 seconds.
• 1:06:15
  Love it Before you go. Before you go.
• 1:06:16
  Absolutely beautiful. That was before you guys show
• 1:06:19
  some that was. Before you go, Hector, show them
• 1:06:21
  your shirt one more time. Right, Weimar's coming, but you
• 1:06:25
  don't have to be a part of it. Yeah, save yourself, save
• 1:06:28
  yourself, save yourself, Get on the get on the life raft.
• 1:06:32
  And I brought on basically the person that runs simply Bitcoin
• 1:06:38
  Windy Kiss as a special guest for the memes.
• 1:06:42
  I came here to ruin the show. Sorry.
• 1:06:45
  That's a That's a very nice shirt.
• 1:06:48
  What is that? It's gonna drop real, real soon.
• 1:06:51
  We only made a few of them. New new simply Bitcoin merch
• 1:06:55
  coming soon. All right, everybody.
• 1:06:56
  Wait, wait, wait. Before we go, can we acknowledge
• 1:06:59
  Wine's fresh, fresh fade and and look how Buffy looks?
• 1:07:02
  Look at that shirt. Look at making them look buff.
• 1:07:05
  Look at that. Can you go put up your bicep?
• 1:07:07
  You guys want to see an an eclipse?
• 1:07:09
  Here you. Go.
• 1:07:12
  All right, all right. As you can tell, it's already
• 1:07:14
  the meme review time. Let's get into it all right.
• 1:07:18
  The Daily Meme Review. And Opti still has not done the
• 1:07:27
  transition because it's called Opti's meme review.
• 1:07:31
  Now it's the this. Is Hold on.
• 1:07:36
  I am the captain. Now this is my meme review,
• 1:07:38
  which gives me. Opti had to work on a
• 1:07:42
  transition, but he didn't have it finished.
• 1:07:45
  No, Sartex, our our editor is backed up.
• 1:07:48
  He's he yeah I I've been trying to get it to happen hopefully.
• 1:07:51
  I think yeah we're fighting live.
• 1:07:53
  Hopefully we get no we will get this by next week.
• 1:07:56
  I I did. I've been trying to get it.
• 1:07:58
  He's backed up on all of our editing right now.
• 1:08:00
  So what's a lot of things? This.
• 1:08:02
  Is this is actually my segment? Yeah, this is wine.
• 1:08:05
  That should. Be in the nice chair.
• 1:08:06
  Honestly, what is this? Yeah, what is going on here?
• 1:08:09
  What is going on here? They treat the memers with such
• 1:08:12
  lack of respect. All right.
• 1:08:14
  OK, You guys know the deal here. This is the meme review where
• 1:08:18
  you guys tag us on Twitter at Simply Bitcoin TV or drop them
• 1:08:21
  in our Telegram group. We did do this daily, but now we
• 1:08:25
  try to provide as much value as possible.
• 1:08:28
  It's a it's a weekly meme review.
• 1:08:29
  It's Opti's weekly Friday meme review.
• 1:08:32
  That's not what it's called, bro.
• 1:08:33
  It's Opti's Meme Review Opti Meme Review Friday and Friday's
• 1:08:37
  Opti's Whatever. Friday.
• 1:08:39
  Anyways, back to what I was saying before I was cut off.
• 1:08:41
  I am the captain now. I can do what I want on the meme
• 1:08:44
  review. So send me the memes.
• 1:08:45
  We'll get them on the show, all right.
• 1:08:47
  Tweets of the bullets, Memes of the artillery.
• 1:08:49
  We are in an information war and as you can tell, today's
• 1:08:52
  actually low key. Low key.
• 1:08:54
  Nico, today's show is very meme heavy.
• 1:08:57
  There's a lot of memes in here. Hopefully you guys are following
• 1:08:59
  along because this is how we win.
• 1:09:02
  The culture is by making the funnies, getting the calls of
• 1:09:06
  actions out there, and of course ridiculing the corporate press
• 1:09:10
  and the politicians and the central bankers.
• 1:09:13
  This is the way, anyways, Super Bowl was last week.
• 1:09:16
  We were all, you know, freaking out about Jack Dorsey, wearing
• 1:09:19
  the Satoshi shirt and getting some FaceTime to the whole Super
• 1:09:22
  Bowl audience. But shouts out to my boy Nick
• 1:09:24
  can't mine, Head of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Magazine news.
• 1:09:28
  He's the Twitter guy. I'm pretty sure if you guys
• 1:09:30
  watch the Super Bowl, you all saw this this moment here where
• 1:09:33
  Travis, where Taylor Swift's boyfriend, sorry, is yelling at
• 1:09:37
  Andy Reid from the Kansas City Chiefs and he's freaking out.
• 1:09:41
  And here's Nick's take. You said to wait for 30 K to buy
• 1:09:44
  Bitcoin again. What's going on?
• 1:09:46
  Oh man, no. I'm in the market.
• 1:09:49
  Beats time in the market. Just buy Bitcoin, accumulate
• 1:09:51
  Bitcoin. This is the way.
• 1:09:52
  Do not get caught up in the sidelines.
• 1:09:54
  And then, of course, we always troll what's going on today.
• 1:09:59
  Or yesterday, Rather. Elizabeth Warren got absolutely
• 1:10:02
  trolled. Love to see it.
• 1:10:03
  Love to see that bitcoiners are conquering on the mimetic
• 1:10:06
  battlefield. It is our meme world, and
• 1:10:08
  everyone else is just living in it.
• 1:10:10
  Anyways, my boy Marty's owl quote tweeted this story coming
• 1:10:13
  out of Bitcoin Magazine, and you know the tweet is breaking.
• 1:10:16
  Elizabeth Warren signs a certificate to honor Satoshi
• 1:10:19
  Nakamoto for ceremonial flag. And then Marty's owl goes, hi,
• 1:10:22
  good morning, Pocahontas. You can stop flooding the corn.
• 1:10:25
  We filled our bags. You can pump this shit now.
• 1:10:27
  Thanks babe. And here's a picture of Larry
• 1:10:29
  Fink on the phone calling Elizabeth Warren.
• 1:10:31
  Absolutely love it. OK, this next one, we had
• 1:10:33
  McShane on the show yesterday and I brought this up.
• 1:10:36
  Well, actually, I might have brought up another one.
• 1:10:38
  Maybe I'd said this to him off air.
• 1:10:40
  But anyways, I love this meme. This is just a screenshot of a
• 1:10:43
  tweet. And this is Joe Burnett.
• 1:10:45
  Just a screenshot. He goes.
• 1:10:46
  Owning a Bitcoin ETF is like saying you have a girlfriend,
• 1:10:49
  but she lives in Black Rock's apartment and Black Rock sends
• 1:10:51
  you a picture of her every quarter.
• 1:10:53
  And BlackRock charges you a fee so he can take care of her.
• 1:10:56
  And then McShane goes spot on self custody.
• 1:10:59
  Your girlfriend? Oh my goodness.
• 1:11:02
  OK, this next one is by Oz, AKA I am a bear hunter.
• 1:11:06
  And it goes things I'm worried about.
• 1:11:09
  And it's a circle completely orange.
• 1:11:11
  And it's not having enough Bitcoin.
• 1:11:13
  No one cares about climate change.
• 1:11:14
  The only thing that matters is the Bitcoin.
• 1:11:16
  We're going into the next leg of the board.
• 1:11:18
  YouTube That doesn't mean we have anything to say about
• 1:11:21
  climate change. We're just, we're just having
• 1:11:25
  enough. We believe in climate change.
• 1:11:27
  YouTube. I I I believe in the the health
• 1:11:30
  of planet Earth. Yes, 100%, OK it.
• 1:11:32
  Could not rain. Ever.
• 1:11:33
  That would be cool. They're already working on that.
• 1:11:36
  OK, this next one shouts out to our boys Psychedelic El Barto on
• 1:11:41
  Twitter or Psychedelic Bart on Twitter and Monday, the price I
• 1:11:45
  think. I think it was Monday it hit 50K
• 1:11:48
  and it felt very good and and we're moving into a time where
• 1:11:52
  it looks like we're a number go up only season.
• 1:11:54
  So Bart goes normies on Monday, and it's a just it's it's it's
• 1:12:00
  Copernicus in the chat. Just absolutely devastated.
• 1:12:03
  Doesn't want to go to work. Just worn out.
• 1:12:05
  Caught up in the rat race and just like, man, I got to go to
• 1:12:08
  work. Oh my God.
• 1:12:10
  And then versus bit corners on Monday, and I even have the
• 1:12:14
  sound effect for you. Yeah, that one's very good.
• 1:12:20
  I love that one. That was hilarious.
• 1:12:22
  #Rag, #rag that that. That's a very meta meme there.
• 1:12:26
  Very meta meme. All right, next one shouts out
• 1:12:28
  to our boy Bit ballin. And this is what we've been
• 1:12:31
  covering all day all week rather.
• 1:12:33
  And we probably will continue to cover to highlight what digital
• 1:12:37
  scarcity means and why you need to take Bitcoin into custody

  Anyways. We've been covering all week
• 1:12:42
  just the amount of inflows going into the spot.

  Bitcoin ETFs and this mean just perfectly, perfectly sums it up.
• 1:12:48
  It's really more of a tweet, but there is a visual here.
• 1:12:51
  So bit Ballin goes, Bitcoin network creates 900 Bitcoin a
• 1:12:54
  day. ETFs are buying 8000 Bitcoin a
• 1:12:57
  day. Economists you should increase
• 1:13:00
  supply to match demand. The Bitcoin network have The
