Michael Saylor EXPOSES the Dollar on National TV | EP 946 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:03
  It's. All.
• 0:04
  Going to zero against Bitcoin. It's going on forever.
• 0:16
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:23
  Well, because they. Wanna sell it eventually,
• 0:26
  Michael. I mean, let's be honest, most of
• 0:28
  the people who are, yes, sure, if some people pass it on to
• 0:30
  their children, but like most of the people who are buying assets
• 0:34
  at some point want to sell the assets at a profit.
• 0:37
  So I. Guess, let me say it
• 0:38
  differently. People that use Fiat currency as
• 0:42
  a store of value, there's a name for them.
• 0:44
  We call them poor. OK.
• 0:47
  Anybody that's rich in the? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
• 0:51
  another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live.
• 0:54
  A couple of like, technical difficulties getting the show
• 0:56
  started, 'cause I really wanted to start with that cold open of
• 1:00
  Michael Saylor just literally saying that anyone who's holding
• 1:04
  the dollar is absolutely poor. And once again, you know he's
• 1:08
  wearing the Bitcoin merch. I feel like the beard is getting
• 1:11
  a little bit longer. What you're seeing, ladies and
• 1:14
  gentlemen, is it is an experience that most bitcoiners
• 1:19
  that have been around a cycle or two have gone through, which is
• 1:24
  the feeling of vindication, right?
• 1:27
  You always get beat down, you know, in the bear market that's
• 1:30
  when you get the text from your friends and your family.
• 1:33
  The only difference here is that it's a billionaire that's able
• 1:37
  to leverage his, you know, now Fortune 500 company in order to
• 1:41
  continue to essentially raise more money to buy more Bitcoin,
• 1:47
  literally a speculative attack on the dollar.
• 1:49
  And here here he is on national TV and we have the whole
• 1:53
  interview for you guys and we'll play it for you guys during the
• 1:55
  news segment. But I wanted to start off the
• 1:56
  show with it. And here he is like literally
• 1:59
  like the the reporter's like asking him like, OK, but
• 2:01
  Michael, like when are you gonna sell?
• 2:03
  Which is a question that I know if you're a Bitcoiner, you've
• 2:05
  heard this question asked you before.
• 2:09
  And like my answer, sailors. Sailor was like more blunt than
• 2:13
  I am. But like, he was just like, you
• 2:15
  know, you're going to be poor, essentially, but what are you
• 2:18
  going to sell it to? Right?
• 2:20
  So, like, it's like, oh, when are you going to sell?
• 2:22
  It's like, OK, so I'm going to sell something that has absolute
• 2:25
  scarcity. There's 21 million of to
• 2:28
  something that there's an infinite amount of that.
• 2:32
  You know, this bureaucratic elite have the ability to just
• 2:35
  create it out of thin air. Janet Yellen was, there was a
• 2:39
  clip going on on Twitter. We'll play it for you guys
• 2:41
  tomorrow. But literally, they asked her
• 2:43
  in, like, in the interview, you know, do you regret this whole
• 2:49
  inflation? She's like, yeah, I regret that
• 2:51
  it was gonna be transitory. Like, yeah, like, OK, yeah.
• 2:55
  But, you know, there's a lot of consequences to the words that
• 2:59
  she said. There's a lot of consequences
• 3:01
  to, you know, this money printing.
• 3:04
  So shout out to Michael Saylor to continue to shift the Overton
• 3:10
  window, Drake the other day reposted.
• 3:14
  And Drake has a massive following.
• 3:16
  He's, you know, a very mainstream kind of, you know,
• 3:19
  pop culture phenomenon, whatever you'd like to call him.
• 3:22
  And he, he Instagrammed a a clip of Michael Saylor in an
• 3:28
  interview. And you know, this is what it
• 3:31
  takes, ladies and gentlemen, This is how we went over the
• 3:34
  culture. This is how we unify the nation
• 3:37
  under a common message, which is fix the money, fix the world or
• 3:41
  fix the money. Fix the nation.
• 3:43
  Right. I think that a lot of the
• 3:45
  divisions that a lot of people are experiencing right now are
• 3:48
  because of the broken money, right?
• 3:50
  Broken money causes broken incentives, a broken incentive
• 3:54
  structure. People can't afford rent.
• 3:57
  People can't afford housing if you're not on a Bitcoin
• 4:00
  standard, I might add, if you're on a Bitcoin standard, all the
• 4:03
  all of that has gotten significantly cheaper as time
• 4:05
  progresses. So yes, this is, you know, this
• 4:09
  is absolutely hysterical. But this is Sailor's indication
• 4:13
  like this is, this is his vindication.
• 4:14
  This is his victory lap. This is the victory lap that you
• 4:17
  had. You know, your first cycle or if
• 4:19
  you're new to Bitcoin, the cycle that you're, you know in in a in
• 4:23
  a couple years you're going to have with your friends and your
• 4:26
  family, you know, and this is sailor's way of kind of rubbing
• 4:30
  it in people's faces. Remember the New York Times, The
• 4:33
  Wall Street Journal? You know, all these legacy media
• 4:37
  institutions attacked this man. I never forget seeing him at
• 4:42
  Pacific Bitcoin 2022 in Los Angeles.
• 4:45
  And he was sitting front stage in the VIP area and Bitcoin was
• 4:50
  sitting at 16,000. The average price MicroStrategy
• 4:54
  acquired Bitcoin at was about 2929 K 30K.
• 4:58
  And you know, he had a, he had a, you know, face of Steel.
• 5:01
  He was, he was convinced that he was correct.
• 5:04
  He was convinced that he was right.
• 5:05
  But Despite that, like no matter how much you believe you're
• 5:09
  right, you're still down, you know, technically.
• 5:12
  And that's what US bitcoiners call paying the price of
• 5:15
  tuition. So Michael Sealer paid the price
• 5:18
  of tuition. So did Naimbu Kelly on the
• 5:20
  nation state level. And this is his vindication, and
• 5:23
  he's just dropping bombs on TV. And I'm telling you just from
• 5:28
  personal experience and what I've seen from other bitcoiners,
• 5:31
  like the longer you you go, the more time you spent down the
• 5:35
  rabbit hole, the less you start to give AF about just the norms
• 5:41
  and about things because you know that you have
• 5:43
  unconfiscatable wealth. So if you're a good person, you
• 5:46
  don't break the law or whatever, you don't really care, right?
• 5:49
  You're good, right? And it starts to give you like
• 5:52
  this, like no FS given type of vibe and feeling around you.
• 5:58
  If you guys have ever seen Eric Kayson, he's like a living
• 6:01
  embodiment of this. I absolutely love the man,
• 6:04
  because there you have an example of an OG who just
• 6:07
  literally, he just doesn't give AF, right?
• 6:10
  And there's many of them. You know, You now that I pointed
• 6:13
  out, you'll start to notice them.
• 6:15
  And what tends to happen is I'm, I'm like kind of kidding, but
• 6:18
  I'm kind of not kidding. The facial hair starts to get
• 6:21
  longer and longer. I couldn't grow facial hair
• 6:24
  before my first Bitcoin cycle. So maybe the two have something
• 6:28
  in common. Maybe I'm just talking shit.
• 6:30
  But I will tell you this, Michael Tyler's beard did look a
• 6:34
  little bit longer. Opti, did you notice that?
• 6:38
  Yeah, I did. He he's definitely leaning into
• 6:42
  just not caring at all anymore. Especially 'cause he's right, it
• 6:46
  does seem like he's taking victory laps on the corporate
• 6:49
  press and you just love to see it.
• 6:51
  That clip is absolutely hilarious.
• 6:53
  And then also, he dropped so much signal in that clip, so I'm
• 6:56
  glad we're playing it. But before we go on, Nico shouts
• 6:59
  out to Thomas Hara. We already got a super chat.
• 7:02
  By the. Way we have we have the Super
• 7:04
  chats enabled by popular request.
• 7:06
  A lot of people saying like, why don't you have the Super?
• 7:08
  Money. And so he he's he's talking
• 7:13
  about the poll I I put a poll on our YouTube kind of trolling
• 7:15
  today. Are you feeling like optimistic
• 7:17
  fields or pessimistic fields today And he goes, the Pesi
• 7:20
  fields are hitting earlier this cycle.
• 7:22
  I think what he means is we're all getting less SAT, man.
• 7:25
  Our dollar is being decimated. Remember Opti and I, because
• 7:29
  this is like around our our same cycle time, but remember when
• 7:33
  $100 got you a million Sats. Dude, I still do.
• 7:37
  I still do $100 million shats math.
• 7:40
  In my head it was like $100, like 3 million.
• 7:42
  I don't remember that. What?
• 7:44
  What even is? A million shats.
• 7:45
  Right now it's like $600. Crazy something Nuts.
• 7:49
  And then another. 7. 100 bro, $700.00, yes 720 or whatever it
• 7:53
  is. 702 or something. I can't grow a beard guys.
• 7:56
  I I gotta keep it, keep it short.
• 7:58
  Maybe one be able to grow, maybe one.
• 8:00
  Just give him a couple more cycles and then it just gets you
• 8:05
  know, it just just kind of fills out.
• 8:07
  Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Simply Bitcoin, the
• 8:09
  most watched daily Bitcoin live show on YouTube.
• 8:12
  Rumble and X. If you guys are enjoying the
• 8:14
  show so far, make sure to smash that like, but it really helps
• 8:17
  with the YouTube algos. And if you're watching us on X,
• 8:19
  smash the like button. Share the video.
• 8:21
  Share the video with your friends.
• 8:23
  We have to win over the hearts and minds of people.
• 8:25
  We have to wake them up to the reality that it's not left
• 8:27
  versus right, it's not red versus blue, it's green versus
• 8:31
  orange. And if enough people wake up to
• 8:32
  that reality, that is how we win.
• 8:34
  Anyways, I want to bring up one of our legendary zoomers.
• 8:38
  The Zoomer generation is the first generation that is
• 8:41
  Internet native. So it's you guys, you know when
• 8:46
  when Opti and I were going through Opti and I kind of
• 8:48
  similar age, but when Opti and I were going through high school,
• 8:51
  the Internet was starting to kind of take off, right?
• 8:55
  You know, the I had the BBM, the BlackBerry, and you'd kind of
• 8:59
  like BBM, your friends in school and stuff like that.
• 9:02
  But your generation, the Internet was like fully
• 9:04
  established. You know, when when you guys
• 9:08
  came of age, when you guys started to become conscious and
• 9:11
  stuff. So what I see with the Zoomers
• 9:14
  is you got your guys's ability to navigate.
• 9:17
  The Internet is like a second hand.
• 9:21
  It's not red versus blue. It's Nikko versus your guys's
• 9:25
  ability to navigate. The Internet comes innate to
• 9:28
  you. It's almost as if you guys are
• 9:29
  kind of born with it, and Bryson, for anyone who doesn't
• 9:33
  know, is a new member of the Simply Bitcoin Twitter crew.
• 9:36
  He's our zoomer with the algos. Yeah, but but yeah man, it's so

• 10:22
  I'm skipping some Fiat school, but daylight savings is also
• 10:26
  Fiat, which which is also, it's just a disaster, right?
• 10:29
  I mean it's like Arizona's the only based state that doesn't
• 10:31
  have it and so that that's like the only reason I haven't left
• 10:33
  the state. And so that's actually the
• 10:36
  reason I'm able to be here. So this is it's actually great

  the US. That's right, you can't buy
• 12:05
  Bitcoin at Bitcoin. Well, unless you're going to
• 12:08
  take self custody, which perfectly aligns with the simply
• 12:11
  Bitcoin ethos of the separation of money and state.
• 12:14
  I also want to give a shout out to the Bitcoin jackpot contest.
• 12:19

  default the standard in the US, sign up to bitcoinwell.com
• 13:19
  today. All right everybody, let's get
• 13:20
  some news. We have a lot to talk about.
• 13:24
  The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 13:28
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 13:31
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 13:32
  Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
• 13:35
  hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
• 13:39
  instead of just writing them on paper.
• 13:42
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
• 13:45
  Papers prone to water damage, fire damage.
• 13:48
  You want to put your generational wealth on one of
• 13:50
  the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
• 13:53
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 13:57
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 14:00
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 14:03
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 14:05
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 14:09
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 14:11
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 14:14
  All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
• 14:17
  Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
• 14:20
  Stamp your seed on stamp seed. I saw someone in the chat asking
• 14:24
  if anyones going tells the having party El Salvador.
• 14:29
  Yes, the whole Simply Bitcoin crew will be at the having
• 14:32
  party. Hope to see you guys there.
• 14:34
  I believe we have a promo. It's either simply or simply
• 14:36
  Bitcoin. Speaking of promos guys, you can
• 14:39
  use the promo code simply to get 15% off the stamp seed seed
• 14:45
  phrase storage kit. And for anyone who doesn't quite
• 14:47
  understand, this doesn't mean that you send your seed phrase
• 14:50
  to them. They send you a a, a, a a seed
• 14:54
  phrase storage kit. So like they literally send you
• 14:57
  a hammer, a piece of titanium, and you literally, it's in the
• 15:01
  name. You stamp your seed in the
• 15:03
  titanium with the hammer at home where no one sees it.
• 15:07
  And the reason you want to do that is because paper, you know,
• 15:11
  to put it bluntly, sucks ass. Just, you know, it could be
• 15:14
  eaten, could be set on fire. Do you really think Bitcoin?
• 15:17
  Do you really think paper is going to last 100 years?
• 15:20
  I I I would put my bet on Titanium, one of the strongest
• 15:22
  metals on planet Earth. Anyways, promo code.
• 15:25
  Jeez, we're going to have to figure out, hold on.
• 15:26
  We're going to figure out a figure out a way to do this so
• 15:29
  we don't just break in our everything.
• 15:31
  But shouts out to John, super Chad of $50.
• 15:35
  Amazing. Stay humble.
• 15:36
  I don't know if he's telling us to stay humble or that we should
• 15:39
  just continue to stay humble. But really appreciate it,
• 15:41
  brother. All right, Go, Nico.
• 15:43
  I mean I'm kind of blown away already guys.
• 15:46
  Really appreciate the Super chats.
• 15:48
  Thank you so much. It really, really helps the
• 15:50
  channel and helps us stay independent.
• 15:52
  At the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is 72,630 stats
• 15:57
  per dollar 1377 block height 834,531 blocks to having 5469
• 16:07
  having estimate April 19th, 2024 Total Lightning network capacity
• 16:12
  4300 74 Bitcoin capacity value 317 million U.S. dollars
• 16:19
  Realized monetary inflation 1.74%.
• 16:22
  The total market cap of Bitcoin, It's sitting pretty at $1.43
• 16:26
  trillion and the Bitcoin versus gold market cap continues to
• 16:31
  tick up. It is at 10.34%.
• 16:36
  Anyways, in the grand scheme of things, we are just getting
• 16:39
  started. OK, ladies and gentlemen, I do
• 16:41
  have a video for you guys and it's kind of a reminder, right?
• 16:47
  And I and I say this and a lot of people take it as me being
• 16:50
  hyperbolic, but I I'm not hyperbolic when I say the things
• 16:54
  that I say, the the statements that I say are always meant to
• 17:01
  instigate and to get a response from people in a positive way
• 17:06
  and for people to understand what is on the line.
• 17:11
  There is nothing hyperbolic when I say Bitcoin or slavery.
• 17:16
  There are There are elements of the current U.S. government that
• 17:21
  see the only future of money in the United States is a future of
• 17:26
  central bank digital currencies. That future is a future of
• 17:31
  slavery. That future is a future of
• 17:33
  nihilism. That future is a future of war,
• 17:36
  of poverty, of destruction, and all these negative things that
• 17:41
  come with the central control or government control or political
• 17:46
  money. So understand the what's in
• 17:50
  front of you, especially if you live in the US and if you live
• 17:54
  around the world. And as we'll get to during the
• 17:56
  news segment, this is what governments have planned.
• 18:01
  This is the government response towards Bitcoin.
• 18:05
  It's not adopting it. It's not saying OK, it could
• 18:08
  actually help us make better. No, the bureaucratic elite, the
• 18:12
  political class, and the central banker class want to do whatever
• 18:18
  it takes in order to retain the privilege of being able to
• 18:22
  create money for free that everyone else has to work for,
• 18:26
  even though that has catastrophic consequences.
• 18:32
  Specifically to the lower and middle classes that are the
• 18:36
  classes that that generally tend to save in the Fiat money of
• 18:41
  their country. Right.
• 18:43
  Anyways, so here is the Bitcoin Senator, Senator Cynthia Lummus
• 18:48
  of Wyoming, and she's asking Chairman Powell point blank
• 18:55
  about a central bank digital currency.
• 18:57
  And I'll give a little bit more context after the video is
• 18:59
  played. Thank.
• 19:00
  You, Mr. Chairman, welcome. It's nice to see you, Mr.
• 19:04
  Powell. My first question is about CDB
• 19:11
  CS. There's been some chatter lately
• 19:13
  on the social media that people are concerned about the Fed
• 19:21
  creating ACDBC without legislative authorization.
• 19:26
  You and I have discussed that before.
• 19:30
  And as you know there there are other means other than a CDBC
• 19:34
  that could use digital assets to create a secure and instant
• 19:41
  payment system other than a CDBC.
• 19:45
  So the question is this, do you still agree that the Federal
• 19:50
  Reserve cannot introduce AUS central bank digital currency
• 19:55
  without congressional authorization?
• 19:58
  Yes, I do. Thank you.
• 20:00
  That's just, that's really calms people's fears, the people who
• 20:05
  are concerned that we could end up with something like the
• 20:07
  digital you want that is used as a means of surveillance.
• 20:11
  So I think that that will calm some of those discussions down.
• 20:15
  Thank you so much. Absolute Political Master Class
• 20:19
  by Senator Cynthia Lummus. You know such tacks such grace
• 20:23
  approaching that but asking a point blank and here's the
• 20:27
  thing, it's becoming incredibly more difficult as time
• 20:33
  progresses just because of how the US government and how the
• 20:37
  the country is structured in in general with the individual
• 20:41
  states having, you know some type of sovereignty over the
• 20:45
  federal government where there's individual states where anti CDC
• 20:49
  bills have already been introduced including the state
• 20:52
  of Florida, right. So if, you know, whatever
• 20:56
  reason, they find a way to circumvent the legislative
• 20:59
  process, which is what I believe they're really trying to do.
• 21:02
  You know, Elizabeth Warren has been caught on tape, on
• 21:05
  interviews literally saying, yeah, we need the CBDC.
• 21:08
  And then on the other hand, you know, she's basically making the
• 21:11
  case as to why Bitcoin, you know, is is a danger to
• 21:14
  humanity, It's a danger to the country, right?
• 21:16
  Somehow, you know, an individual having the ability to hold
• 21:20
  unconfiscatable, undebaseable wealth is somehow dangerous,
• 21:24
  right? So make no mistake, this was a
• 21:28
  very good move by Cynthia Lummus because once again, putting it
• 21:31
  on record and getting the head, the, you know, the chair of the
• 21:36
  Federal Reserve to admit we can't roll out a central bank
• 21:39
  digital currency without the approval of Congress.
• 21:41
  And good luck doing that in Congress because of how the vibe
• 21:45
  you know the the you know Congress is right now and you
• 21:48
  know to add more fuel to the fire so to speak we we played
• 21:52
  you guys this video the other day of the he was just it was
• 21:56
  actually just announced yesterday the Republican
• 21:59
  candidate for president of of 2024 Donald Trump.
• 22:03
  I understand a lot of people see him as divisive he's running on
• 22:06
  a platform you know I'll let him say it not me tonight.
• 22:09
  I'm also making another promise to protect Americans from
• 22:12
  government tyranny. As your president, I will never
• 22:15
  allow the creation of a central bank digital currency you know
• 22:19
  about. So even Trump was surprised.
• 22:22
  He was like, wow, people really care about this.
• 22:26
  So the the point that I'm trying to make is, you know, people
• 22:30
  are, we have them on their back heels.
• 22:35
  We, we have them on their back heels on on a state level, you
• 22:38
  know on the federal level. Cynthia Lummus doing her job.
• 22:41
  Tom Ember is done doing an amazing job.
• 22:43
  Not to mention all the other Congress men and Congress women
• 22:47
  that have been kind of really on top of this on the state level
• 22:50
  as well. So I don't think they'll be able
• 22:52
  to back door this. As much as you know they're
• 22:56
  being able to do this in in the EU and we're in the EU, they're
• 23:00
  running full steam ahead with the central bank digital
• 23:03
  currency. Even though it's been said many,
• 23:05
  many times, it's not really necessary.
• 23:08
  But again, it is necessary in a world of Bitcoin.
• 23:12
  It is extremely necessary in a world of Bitcoin.
• 23:15
  And again I'll say this guys, if a CBDC and Bitcoin cannot
• 23:22
  coexist, Bitcoin is anti CBDC technology.
• 23:26
  If people had a choice between using unconfiscatable money,
• 23:32
  deflationary money, versus inflationary money versus
• 23:36
  unconfiscatable money, you let me know what 99% of people will
• 23:41
  choose, including the politicians themselves.
• 23:44
  Remember what Boris Johnson said when, when, when Tucker
• 23:49
  approached him and said, hey, will you come on my like will
• 23:51
  you come on my show? I want to interview you because
• 23:53
  you've been talking so much shit about me and Boris Johnson.
• 23:57
  Oh, supposedly this is what Tucker said.
• 23:59
  One of Boris Johnson's assistants said yes, but I want
• 24:02
  $1,000,000 in gold or Bitcoin. So like, even the politicians
• 24:07
  themselves, you know, are are, you know, talking about this.
• 24:11
  So don't pay attention to what they say.
• 24:13
  Pay attention to what they do. This is the battle of our time.
• 24:16
  This is the battle of our generation.
• 24:18
  And you know, we got the millennial generation in the
• 24:21
  house and we got the zoomer generation in the house.
• 24:23
  So I'm gonna pass it on to the zoomer first, Bryson.
• 24:26
  I mean, bro, our parents had it fucking easy, dude.
• 24:30
  I'll just say that started off with that now like we're
• 24:34
  literally competing so that we're not enslaved.
• 24:38
  You know, in 10 years. Like their their own propaganda
• 24:42
  is literally saying by 20-30 you'll nothing and be happy.
• 24:45
  Like fuck that man. I'll own Bitcoin and be happy.
• 24:47
  But you know, it's pretty crazy, man.
• 24:50
  So look, as a zoomer, you know, obviously our our generations
• 24:54
  have gotten the shorter end of the stick.
• 24:56
  Your generations got an even the shorter, shorter end of the
• 25:00
  stick. You know what?
• 25:01
  What does Bitcoin mean to you? What does these CBD CS mean to
• 25:05
  you? How do you feel when you see
• 25:07
  this political class in Washington talking all this
• 25:10
  nonsense? How does it make you feel and
• 25:12
  how does it make your peers fear feel around you that are that
• 25:15
  are awakened? Better said.
• 25:18
  The closest analogy I can make is it makes me feel like a hit
• 25:21
  in the 60s voting against the Vietnam War, right, of saying,
• 25:24
  you know, I don't want to go sign up for war and and and and
• 25:26
  perhaps give my life up for a 'cause I don't really believe
• 25:29
  in. And I think that's very
• 25:30
  prominent in in what's happening in Washington, DC today.
• 25:34
  You know, in college I have a lot of peers and myself
• 25:36
  included, who want to have families one day, right?
• 25:38
  And it's my parents waited until the 3rd just to have kids.
• 25:41
  So my parents waited until the 33 ish.
• 25:44
  I'd have me in order for my siblings and so I thought that's
• 25:47
  really been keeping me up at night is well, if I wait until
• 25:49
  I'm in my 30s, you know my kids are never going to be able to
• 25:52
  meet my parents, right? My my parents are never going to
• 25:54
  really have a meaningful relationship with their
• 25:56
  grandchildren and and with Bitcoin as a good savings medium
• 26:02
  and and and store value I can pull in you know the age at
• 26:07
  which I once start having children.
• 26:08
  So instead of waiting till my 30s, I can perhaps have kids mid
• 26:12
  20s, right, and say hey I'm not as worried financially, you know
• 26:15
  I have a Fiat job paying for all the bills and the kids and and
• 26:19
  I'm not as worried as saying, hey, if I lose my job you know I
• 26:21
  can go and grab my little my my gold egg and and pull some
• 26:24
  Bitcoin savings out if I need to to make sure my kids have a good
• 26:28
  good future and I can put food on the table for them and and my
• 26:32
  wife. And if one day I get married and
• 26:35
  and it's it's tough because I see all of my peers around me
• 26:38
  going to college the wrong route.
• 26:39
  I'm actually sitting in my college library right now.
• 26:42
  It's all going going to college for the wrong reason.
• 26:46
  Love it. Love it.
• 26:47
  All right. I think Nico, Nico had to check
• 26:50
  his Internet, so but yeah, OK. Love.
• 26:52
  Love what? You said.
• 26:52
  Bryson. Oh, he's back.
• 26:55
  Let me, let me just jump in here on that CBDC video.
• 26:59
  You know, you guys know me. I am very skeptical of anything
• 27:03
  coming out of politician's mouth, in my opinion.
• 27:06
  It's usually a bunch of lies. With that being said, shouts out
• 27:10
  to Cynthia Lummus. And I think all of us bitcoiners
• 27:13
  are at the very least acknowledging the importance of
• 27:16
  having people that are aware of what Bitcoin is and that are
• 27:20
  aware of the dangers of CDC. And so while it does sound very
• 27:25
  good and it is a little, you guys don't want that, while it
• 27:31
  does sound good and it is a good sound bite of Jerome Powell
• 27:35
  saying that they can't actually push a CDC nor do they really
• 27:38
  want to push a CDC, at least that's what they're saying
• 27:41
  themselves. It is not above anyone from the
• 27:46
  government the political class to potentially push a CDC
• 27:51
  through if there is a quote UN quote emergency.
• 27:54
  So while it does sound good and it is a good talking point for
• 27:58
  bitcoiners about being anti CDC, I think the virial signal here
• 28:03
  is the fact that more people are waking up to the dangers of a
• 28:06
  CDC. You know, for a lot of years as
• 28:08
  bitcoiners were like oh there's never gonna be a CDC, nothing to
• 28:11
  worry about. And now that conversation is
• 28:13
  going out and playing out on Main Street and and average
• 28:16
  everyday people not, you know, whatever they call us,
• 28:19
  psychopaths, super coders or whatever illiterate bitcoiners
• 28:22
  out here, we're not the only ones talking about CBDCS and the
• 28:25
  dangers of CBDCS, but let's not forget that we basically already
• 28:29
  live in a CBDC system. Guys like all our money's
• 28:32
  already digital. I know one of the big flood
• 28:35
  lines that I hear from normies and people on the right too, you
• 28:39
  know, like Christian conservatives that are like, oh,
• 28:41
  bitcoin's, the number of the beast.
• 28:42
  And it's like, guys, we basically already have a number
• 28:45
  of the Beast. It's your Social Security
• 28:47
  number. Like our money is already
• 28:48
  digital. This is not a new, quote UN
• 28:52
  quote digital number of the Beast being thrusted on us.
• 28:54
  This Is Us escaping the Fiat system that's already been
• 28:58
  thrust on us. And so I just love that these
• 29:01
  conversations about the dangers CBC's are happening, but I just
• 29:05
  want to like remind most people out there that aren't well
• 29:08
  versed in the technical is. It's like we already live in a
• 29:10
  digital money world. We already live in a digital
• 29:13
  dollar world, and all the things that we talk about that the CBDC
• 29:18
  can do, they can already do with the traditional financial
• 29:21
  system. And This is why we're Bitcoiners
• 29:23
  is because there's a better system, a system that a small
• 29:26
  cabal of people can't control. And of course that's why we love
• 29:30
  Bitcoin and we're all bitcoiners.
• 29:32
  And we understand that the only way out of the system is by
• 29:36
  joining a better system that pushes prosperity, that pushes
• 29:42
  freedom. And again, we say it all time
• 29:44
  it's Bitcoin or slavery. It is a CDC, totalitarian
• 29:48
  controlled money or a money that no one controls.
• 29:51
  And I know my choice, I know my bias.
• 29:53
  And I'm just glad that these conversations are happening on
• 29:57
  mainstream in the halls of Congress and this signal is
• 30:00
  getting out there and and at the very least getting people to
• 30:02
  question what's going on. 100%, I think you hit the nail on the
• 30:06
  head, Opti. 100%, bro. And I think that's what's
• 30:09
  happening. I think it's happening in real
• 30:11
  time. But I think, you know, guys
• 30:13
  don't, you know, don't lose your eye on the, like, don't take
• 30:16
  your eye off the ball. You know, stay focused and
• 30:19
  understand that this is in. We're in it for the long haul,
• 30:23
  you know, and this is really the battle of our time.
• 30:27
  This is the World War of our time.
• 30:28
  And hopefully, you know, the separation of money and state is
• 30:32
  not kinetic. It's not, you know, it's it's
• 30:34
  it's a piece is why we call it the peaceful revolution.
• 30:38
  You know, So it's it's really all about waking up your
• 30:41
  neighbors, waking over waking up the people, you know, to the
• 30:44
  left of you, to the right of you, and bringing people
• 30:47
  together and making them understand that this is not a
• 30:50
  left versus right thing. This is not a Democrat versus
• 30:53
  Republican. This is not a liberal versus
• 30:54
  conservative talking point. Bitcoin benefits everyone
• 30:59
  equally, right? And I think it's really
• 31:00
  important to emphasize that. And I think if if enough people
• 31:03
  wake up to this, it will be a peaceful transition, you know?
• 31:07
  And by the way, when when I talk about a non peaceful transition,
• 31:10
  I'm talking, I'm not talking about the people, I'm not
• 31:13
  talking about us, I'm talking about tyrannical governments
• 31:16
  trying to retain the privilege and the power of controlling
• 31:22
  money. Right.
• 31:23
  That's what I'm talking about. Anyways ladies and gentlemen,

  this is a Passport by Foundation Devices hardware wallet for you
• 33:33
  to properly secure your Bitcoin. We highly, highly recommend
• 33:38
  getting yourself a cold storage device, a hardware wallet and of

  course we recommend our sponsor Passport by Foundations by

  it's absolutely beautiful and it's incredibly easy to use.
• 33:51
  I use it as one of my daily drivers in terms of my wallet.
• 33:57
  Highly, highly recommend it. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
• 34:01
  quick ETF update. Just cuz man, these
• 34:05
  institutions, these you know, these companies, these
• 34:09
  billionaires, they're just stacking all the corn.
• 34:11
  That's what they're doing right now.
• 34:13
  So quick update. MicroStrategy currently holds
• 34:15
  205,000 Bitcoin. Let's see, Grayscale has oh
• 34:20
  sorry, BlackRock has officially passed Michael Saylor's Bitcoin
• 34:26
  stack. MicroStrategy stack.
• 34:29
  Currently BlackRock holds 215,000 Bitcoin compared to
• 34:35
  Microstrategy's 205,000. Now of course, it is not a fair
• 34:40
  comparison. MicroStrategy is, you know, it's
• 34:43
  a public company. It's a software company that's
• 34:45
  transitioned to this like kind of Bitcoin company, hybrid, and
• 34:50
  of course, you know, BlackRock is an asset manager.
• 34:52
  But when we were joking on Monday, you know, like it seemed
• 34:56
  like Michael Saylor had this last gasp where, you know, he
• 34:59
  raised some money. It seems like he, you know,
• 35:01
  found the cheat code to the Fiat system and he was able to, you
• 35:05
  know, get that little bump to stay ahead of the pack for a
• 35:09
  couple days longer. So interesting, though, look
• 35:12
  guys, there's not enough Bitcoin to go around.
• 35:13
  That's that's the blunt truth. Yesterday we had the largest
• 35:18
  inflow days in history. Here's Alistar mine or Meline
• 35:23
  Better said first billion dollar net inflow day for the Bitcoin
• 35:27
  ETFs GTC selling drop, drop suddenly again indicator.
• 35:32
  Another fire seller is now finished record BlackRock ETF
• 35:36
  inflows of 849, $1,000,000. So you want to know why the
• 35:42
  price is rising so quickly, why it's happening right now.
• 35:45
  You want to know why we've made an all time high before.
• 35:49
  The halvings never happened before in bitcoins history.
• 35:52
  It's because the institutional money is here.
• 35:55
  I highly recommend the Simply Bitcoin IRL episode that I did
• 35:59
  with Fred Krueger. He was dropping some hot fire,
• 36:03
  saw that a lot of people enjoyed it.
• 36:04
  So really recommend that episode.
• 36:06
  And tonight we have the legendary James Lavish coming on
• 36:09
  at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, and we're going to be
• 36:12
  asking him more questions about the ETF.
• 36:15
  So we have a whole lot of content for you guys today.
• 36:18
  Anyways, the moment that you guys all have been waiting for,
• 36:21
  which is here is, you know, Sailor saying what I think all
• 36:27
  of us know innately. But it's this is a blunt truth.
• 36:31
  It's a blunt reality, right? Whoever gets the most Bitcoin
• 36:35
  wins. There is no other end game.
• 36:37
  I'm going to say that again, whoever gets the most Bitcoin
• 36:41
  wins. There is no other end game.
• 36:43
  So what we have been advocating for, not only advocating for,
• 36:48
  but you know, putting our money where our mouth is, Opti and I
• 36:54
  have been stacking. Putting our lives or our mouths
• 36:56
  or. Lives right, 'cause we're
• 36:58
  building a Bitcoin business, but, you know, I've been putting
• 37:04
  not so much anymore, but in the in the first couple of years
• 37:08
  now, I got a family and stuff. You know, I got people to pay.
• 37:12
  And, you know, it's a little bit different.
• 37:13
  But in the early days, I was putting, you know, 80 to 90% of
• 37:18
  my income into Bitcoin, you know, in 2016, 2017, 2018, all
• 37:24
  of all as much as I could because I knew this.
• 37:27
  You know, there's 21 million Bitcoin, right?
• 37:29
  There's only ever 21 million Bitcoin now.
• 37:33
  Yeah. Bryson is asking if he could
• 37:34
  chirp in in a second. And then So what Michael Saylor
• 37:41
  is saying is absolutely true. The faster you come to that
• 37:45
  reality, the faster you humble yourself and you realize, OK,
• 37:50
  maybe you weren't able to get it at six dollars, maybe you
• 37:53
  weren't able to get it at $10,000.
• 37:55
  Maybe you weren't able to get it at $30,000, but you still have
• 38:00
  time to get it at 72,000. And when this thing's at a
• 38:03
  million, you're going to be like, bro, remember when I was
• 38:05
  at 72? You're going to, you're going to
• 38:07
  have the same feeling, right? This.
• 38:08
  We've been here before. Anyways, Bryson.
• 38:11
  What's What are your thoughts, man?
• 38:13
  I wanted to kind of chip into what you were saying about like
• 38:15
  putting 7089% of your income in 20/16/2017 into Bitcoin.
• 38:19
  Like if able and now is the best time to overextend yourself into
• 38:23
  Bitcoin. So like like where I'm living
• 38:25
  I'm like like like everything short of gas money and and lunch
• 38:28
  money it is is in Bitcoin because I have like little to no
• 38:32
  living expenses and I have a safety net, right.
• 38:35
  I live with my parents, right. So I have nothing to lose in
• 38:38
  everything to gain, right? And so, so at the beginning of a
• 38:41
  board market, there's there's no other viable strategy than
• 38:44
  investing as much as possible to the scarcest asset.
• 38:47
  Man is known. And and the other point when
• 38:49
  we're talking about the ETFs is like, if they keep eating up as
• 38:53
  much Bitcoin as they are, like they're going to control
• 38:56
  10:00-ish percent of the total supply of Bitcoin by the next
• 39:00
  halving in 2028. And and if that doesn't wake
• 39:03
  people up to perhaps having an allocation to this asset class,
• 39:06
  I I don't know what will. Amen to that.
• 39:10
  I mean, that's why we love our zoomers and This is why we have
• 39:15
  two zoomers. That's simply Bitcoin. 333.
• 39:19
  Because they're absolutely savage.
• 39:21
  In a good way. So Amen.
• 39:24
  This is dropping the hot fireman.
• 39:26
  How how old are you? I mean, give us a rough, rough
• 39:29
  estimation. Maybe you don't want to dox
• 39:30
  yourself, Bryson. He can't even.
• 39:32
  Drink it legally. I I I cannot drink.
• 39:35
  I don't want to make you guys feel too old.
• 39:39
  No dude, Bryce is going to be rich as fuck dude.
• 39:42
  OK, anyways, start stacking at 18.
• 39:45
  Holy shit, I wish I knew about Bitcoin at 18.
• 39:47
  Me and Opti were still doing dumb ass shit.
• 39:49
  OK anyways, anyways, I still do OK?
• 39:53
  The moment you guys have all been waiting for.
• 39:56
  I'm so worried when this thing hits 150, guys, opti's going to
• 39:59
  disappear. Opti Pull.
• 40:00
  Up the meme, please the meme so we can show play this video.
• 40:04
  We'll play this video. OK, this is a moment that you
• 40:06
  guys all have been waiting for. Michael Sealer dropping hot fire
• 40:11
  on national TV, calling the dollar for what it is, an
• 40:14
  absolute scam, saying you have to accumulate Bitcoin.
• 40:17
  It's the name of the game. Here we go.
• 40:19
  Well, despite declines for Bitcoin today, Micro Strategy
• 40:22
  shares they're higher. TD Cowen raising its price on
• 40:25
  the stock to 1560, that's $1560. After MicroStrategy increased
• 40:29
  its Bitcoin holdings by another 12,000 Bitcoin, the total
• 40:32
  holding is about 205,000. Now joining me now,
• 40:35
  MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.
• 40:37
  Michael, it's good to see you. It's been a little while.
• 40:39
  Thanks for having. Me, Jolene, So I want to start,
• 40:41
  I know that you're bullish on Bitcoin.
• 40:43
  I think everyone knows by now that you see a long term store
• 40:47
  of value in Bitcoin and you have said that you see it as digital
• 40:51
  property as opposed to think of it as a digital currency.
• 40:54
  So if you could help me understand as you add more to
• 40:57
  the company's balance sheet, what the sort of end game is for
• 41:01
  those holdings on Microstrategy's balance sheet?
• 41:06
  Yeah, well, we think Bitcoin is the highest form of property.
• 41:08
  It's the apex property in the world and and it's it's the best
• 41:11
  investment asset. So the end game is to acquire
• 41:14
  more Bitcoin. Whoever gets the most Bitcoin
• 41:16
  wins. Well, there is no other end
• 41:19
  game. But Michael, I guess what I'm
• 41:20
  trying to understand is, so if I think of it as digital property
• 41:22
  and I think of analogies, right, I think of a real estate company
• 41:26
  that buys property and holds on to other kinds of property.
• 41:28
  They may not be the apex, but whatever kinds of property I
• 41:30
  think of an asset manager that buys all kinds of different
• 41:33
  assets, eventually they sell those assets in order to make
• 41:37
  profits. But I I don't think that is your
• 41:39
  end game, right? You're not planning to sell the
• 41:41
  Bitcoin at any point. So, kind of what is the purpose
• 41:44
  of it over time? Well, let's keep in mind that
• 41:47
  the fundamental principle what what's the use case of Bitcoin?
• 41:49
  It's it's capital preservation. So if you have a billion dollars
• 41:53
  and you live in South America, or you live in Asia, or you live
• 41:55
  in Africa and you want the capital to last for 100 years,
• 41:58
  you're not going to want to buy a billion dollar company or a
• 42:00
  billion dollar building or a billion dollars of land in any
• 42:02
  place in Africa. You're going to have to find
• 42:04
  some other form of property that you can hold for a long period
• 42:07
  of time. Let's take New York City.
• 42:09
  Developers of New York City in 1776 didn't have an end game.
• 42:13
  They've been raising capital to invest in New York City real
• 42:16
  estate at the all time high for 300 years.
• 42:19
  If you went and talked to them today and you said what's your
• 42:21
  end game? They would say, well, we're
• 42:23
  going to keep investing in New York City.
• 42:24
  If you've ever talked to a person that owned an apartment
• 42:26
  in New York City, no one aspires to hold the apartment for a few
• 42:29
  years, sell the apartment and move out of New York City.
• 42:31
  They put it in their will. They give it to their children.
• 42:33
  And if you ask them why, they say there's no better place on
• 42:35
  earth to live than New York, there's there is no place up
• 42:39
  from there. So New York City is the end game
• 42:42
  for people that that want to live in the greatest city in
• 42:44
  North America. Bitcoin is the end game for
• 42:47
  anybody that wants to own the greatest property in the 21st
• 42:50
  century. Well.
• 42:51
  I guess that is the case, but you know at is there a price at
• 42:55
  which you would consider selling some of the Bitcoin pulling out.
• 42:58
  So I mean, because you don't, you can do something with New
• 43:01
  York City, you can live in New York City, you can have a
• 43:03
  business in New York City, you, you know, what do you do with
• 43:06
  the Bitcoin besides it just gather value.
• 43:10
  Well, the real estate developers in New York City, they're not
• 43:14
  buying the real estate because they want to live in it.
• 43:16
  They're buying the real estate because they expect.
• 43:17
  Well, because they want to sell it eventually, Michael.
• 43:19
  I mean, let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, sure,
• 43:21
  some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the
• 43:24
  people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the
• 43:26
  assets at a profit. So I mean.
• 43:28
  Let me say it a different way. People that use Fiat currency as
• 43:32
  a store of value, there's a name for them.
• 43:33
  We call them poor. OK.
• 43:35
  Anybody that's rich in the world, they own property they
• 43:38
  own. They own large swathes of land.
• 43:40
  The royal family of England. It didn't sell all of its
• 43:43
  property in central London in order to buy, you know, currency
• 43:48
  or paper money. Nor did the royal family of of
• 43:51
  Japan. Nor did the royal family in the
• 43:52
  Middle East. In fact, they they want to own
• 43:55
  the property forever. I, I, I want you to imagine
• 43:57
  Bitcoin is it's a city in cyberspace.
• 43:59
  The 276 blocks wide, 276 blocks high, 276 blocks deep, about 21
• 44:06
  million blocks. Now imagine all 8 billion people
• 44:09
  in the world want to live there one day.
• 44:11
  They want to put their capital there.
• 44:13
  There's $900 trillion of of wealth in the world as people
• 44:17
  migrate from from every other form of property and if assets
• 44:22
  into cyberspace, you're going to see the Bitcoin network go from
• 44:25
  a trillion dollar network to a 10X that to 100 X that.
• 44:28
  And there really is nowhere else to go.
• 44:30
  It is the apex property of the human race.
• 44:33
  I mean, bro, I mean like if that is not a drop mic moment, like,
• 44:42
  I mean like it's just vindication.
• 44:44
  Like, it's vindication. Like this is like, you know, And
• 44:47
  again, like she was getting kind of aggressive in my opinion,
• 44:51
  Like, I think she was like, oh, I gotcha.
• 44:53
  And then he was just like, no, no.
• 44:57
  And then, you know, when he dropped that poor bomb, that was
• 45:00
  absolutely hilarious. But yeah, I mean, the two pieces
• 45:04
  of signal there, you know, in that absolute pure signal coming
• 45:08
  out of Michael Saylor is the name name of the game is
• 45:13
  accumulate as much Bitcoin as humanly possible, do whatever it
• 45:16
  takes, #1 and #2, of course, you know, color within the lines.
• 45:21
  And then #2 is, you know, look, if you want to denominate, if
• 45:26
  you want to sell back to Fiat for whatever reason, you know,
• 45:30
  have fun staying poor, that was, you know, that was the the, the
• 45:33
  signal. She couldn't her face when when
• 45:36
  she did that was, you know, absolutely priceless.
• 45:39
  So Michael Saylor just coming in hot, you know, dropping bombs,
• 45:43
  man, that's what I gotta say about that.
• 45:44
  Anyways, what's your take? We'll start with the young
• 45:46
  zoomer first, then we'll move on to Opti.
• 45:50
  This is why I know who Michael Griga Chad Sailor is and not who
• 45:53
  that news anchor is. Just just drop the make like
• 45:58
  that. But I mean it it it it it's a
• 46:02
  tough it's a tough it's a tough take because I mean it.
• 46:07
  I don't know what that news anchor was was trying to
• 46:09
  articulate and say there because anyone with more than two brain
• 46:12
  cells, even if we take Bitcoin out of the out of the picture or
• 46:15
  it's you know make make the make the the real estate analogy.
• 46:18
  If if you're a family and you own 10 apartment buildings
• 46:21
  you're never going to sell those buildings.
• 46:22
  You're going to pass those on in in your trust and ensure that
• 46:25
  they're never sold for Fiat currency because you know those
• 46:28
  apartment buildings are going to take care of your children, your
• 46:32
  grandchildren, your great grandchildren, right?
• 46:34
  As far as your family's lineage goes.
• 46:36
  And so you'd say, OK, well if Bitcoin is the best asset, which
• 46:40
  it is, why would it not be the same thing and and and so I
• 46:45
  don't know if she was fishing for an answer or if she truly is
• 46:48
  just that ignorant, but it it it is, it is a little bit blood
• 46:51
  boiling to to listen to that interview.
• 46:55
  Yeah, 100% I I 100% agree with that statement, man.
• 46:58
  It's it's I, I, I I just, you know, it's it's ignorance,
• 47:01
  hubris, kind of elitism. I, I, I, I got a little bit of a
• 47:05
  sense of that. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
• 47:07
  man? Yeah, so I mean, first and
• 47:10
  foremost, sailor, just absolutely slang on the
• 47:14
  corporate press. Just love it.
• 47:16
  Dropping all kinds of memes there.
• 47:18
  That's going to be one of those clips that we probably play all
• 47:21
  year long that it's someone said in the chat, like this woman's
• 47:24
  going to have a moment in the future where like, wow, I was
• 47:28
  trying to talk bad about Bitcoin on live television.
• 47:31
  It caught in 4K. Well.
• 47:34
  Because they want to sell it eventually, Michael.
• 47:36
  I mean, let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, sure
• 47:39
  some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the
• 47:42
  people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the
• 47:45
  assets at a profit. So I.
• 47:48
  Guess. Let me say it a different way.
• 47:49
  People that use Fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name
• 47:54
  for them. We call them poor.
• 47:58
  Such a good meme. Anyways, I want to hit on a few
• 48:00
  memes before I I touch on that that meme that you just played
• 48:03
  the first one Apex property. I think that's the first time
• 48:05
  I've heard sailors say that I I love the idea.
• 48:09
  You know, I love the the idea of Bitcoin as the apex predator of
• 48:12
  money. It's AI think there's even an
• 48:14
  article written. I forget who wrote it but it's
• 48:16
  it's pretty old by now. I highly recommend you guys go
• 48:19
  read that one. And I don't know if you caught
• 48:21
  it, Nico, but Sailor was channeling his inner Max Kaiser
• 48:25
  there. You know Max Kaiser is known for
• 48:27
  saying the classic phrasing of he who owns the Bitcoin makes
• 48:31
  the rules and the sailor's like, yo, like the end game is owning
• 48:36
  as much Bitcoin as possible. Like the game is getting the
• 48:40
  most amount of Bitcoin. And this is something I've been
• 48:42
  saying on the show for a while as the game being played right
• 48:45
  now guys, for you guys that are my age, where millennials is
• 48:48
  you're playing Hungry Hippo with SATS.
• 48:50
  The game is accumulation. You want to accumulate as much
• 48:53
  Bitcoin as possible. I have so many friends that hit
• 48:56
  me up. It's like, oh, the Bitcoin price
• 48:57
  is going up, is it? And the dip again.
• 48:59
  And I'm always saying the same thing.
• 49:00
  The name of the game is just accumulating as much Bitcoin as
• 49:03
  possible, holding that for as long as possible.
• 49:06
  And then her trying to put him in a corner of like, when do you
• 49:09
  sell? Like you don't sell your winners
• 49:11
  for your losers. And we all know that Fiat is the
• 49:14
  loser here. Fiat is getting demonetized.
• 49:16
  It's getting debased it, it's losing purchasing power.
• 49:20
  It's on the decline any Fiat in the world and we all have
• 49:24
  Bitcoin. Like we have this opportunity of
• 49:27
  seeing a magnificent bull run and you're not going to sell
• 49:29
  your Bitcoin for more Fiat dollars.
• 49:32
  Like all of us, bitcoiners eventually want to get to a
• 49:35
  point where we understand like the rocket ship is leaving the
• 49:38
  the stable right now and you don't want to sell your Bitcoin
• 49:41
  for cheap again. If I have to remind you of some
• 49:44
  classic literature in Bitcoin, go read Everyone's a Scammer.
• 49:47
  You do not want to sell your Bitcoin for for some cheap cheap
• 49:51
  products right now or for Fiat for literally paper Ious.
• 49:54
  But I do think there will be a time when that all of us
• 49:57
  Bitcoiners imagine where we're a part of this Bitcoin circular
• 50:01
  economy where you trade your Bitcoin for other goods with
• 50:03
  other Bitcoiners. Of course, I don't know
• 50:06
  necessarily if Saylor fully is on that board or if he's
• 50:09
  literally going to be like he said a few times, I'm just going
• 50:12
  to hold my Bitcoin forever and die with it.
• 50:14
  You know, like a like a pharaoh with all his gold and all that
• 50:17
  stuff. So hey, different strokes for
• 50:19
  different folks, but you don't sell your Bitcoin for Fiat.
• 50:22
  Like, yes, I know if you're all in on Bitcoin, you do have to
• 50:25
  transact with the Fiat dollars so that you can live, but you
• 50:28
  want to hold as much Bitcoin as possible because the number is
• 50:32
  gonna go up and then all right on that, that quote.
• 50:35
  Like, I absolutely love that quote.
• 50:37
  It really is, I think, gonna become a great meme.
• 50:40
  It's pretty much an update of the Have fun staying poor meme.
• 50:44
  But what sailor's really saying there it goes back to the old
• 50:48
  memes of his of if you are saving in Fiat dollars, you are
• 50:52
  holding melting ice cubes. And I know it sounds pretty bad
• 50:55
  that how sailor said it in here. You know, like let me rephrase
• 50:58
  this another way. If you save in dollars, we have
• 51:01
  a name for them, we call them poor.
• 51:03
  But what he's actually saying is what we say all the time if you
• 51:06
  understand what's going on. And all the rich and wealthy
• 51:09
  people in the world understand this very fact, this truth that
• 51:13
  you can't save in dollars, you need to hold assets.
• 51:17
  But the average person out there, you know, person that
• 51:19
  isn't financial literate, they're holding dollars and they
• 51:22
  don't understand that they are getting poorer.
• 51:24
  So it may sound bad, but what he's saying is true.
• 51:27
  If you save in dollars, you are poor, whether that means you
• 51:31
  have a lot of dollars or not. But in a certain amount of time,
• 51:35
  dollars do not store value through time and space.
• 51:38
  It is known to lose literally at minimum 2% of purchasing power a
• 51:44
  year. So if you are saving in dollars
• 51:46
  and you're new to the Bitcoin game and and you're maybe
• 51:49
  feeling like sailors being an asshole on television, what he's
• 51:52
  basically saying is you can't save in dollars.
• 51:54
  You need to find something that goes up in purchasing power,
• 51:58
  whether that is assets or what we like.
• 52:01
  It's Bitcoin. So you need to save in something
• 52:04
  that is not losing value and if you save in dollars you are
• 52:08
  getting poorer. So man, what a classic clip
• 52:13
  Sailor just putting on master classes out there.
• 52:15
  You can tell, you can tell you know Nico's joking about him
• 52:18
  having the the beard and him wearing the big.
• 52:21
  It's not a joke. I'm I'm not saying it's just
• 52:25
  it's me. I'm just saying.
• 52:27
  I'm just saying, you can tell that the, like, I don't give AF
• 52:31
  energy is starting to come out more.
• 52:32
  And he's like, look, I'm right. He's like, who's this anchor
• 52:38
  lady telling me how to store my value?
• 52:41
  He's like, I'm a billionaire and my profits and and purchasing
• 52:44
  power and my net worth is going up.
• 52:47
  And she's trying to tell me to sell my Bitcoin for what
• 52:49
  dollars? He's like, yeah, this is
• 52:51
  incredible. 100%, I mean like dude, like it's you know it's
• 52:57
  vindication. I I can't say that enough.
• 52:59
  Like a sailor is being vindicated.
• 53:00
  Anyways, Opti, we did have two super chats.
• 53:04
  So first one from Rational Kitty.
• 53:06
  Thank you brother. Appreciate it.
• 53:08
  Thank you for being my best lunch buddies.
• 53:10
  Appreciate you man. Thank you so much for supporting
• 53:12
  the channel on Opti. We had another one.
• 53:15
  Just found it right here by vague super chat for $10.
• 53:19
  Appreciate it. Vague people who don't watch
• 53:20

  formerly known as Twitter and about 50 or 60 on Rumble.
• 53:36
  So shout out to everybody who is watching and make sure to smash
• 53:40
  like that like button if you are enjoying the content.
• 53:45
  Anyways, before we move on to the culture segment, I do, you
• 53:49
  know I do want to go back to the topic of central bank digital
• 53:53
  currencies. We're all celebrating.
• 53:54
  Bitcoin has made all time highs 73,600.
• 53:58
  Where's Satoshi the Bitcoin chicken by the way, because
• 54:02
  Bitcoin did make an all time high earlier.
• 54:04
  I think it was last night but $73,600.
• 54:07
  So this thing continues to go up.
• 54:09
  It's obviously the ETF inflows institutional interest, but
• 54:13
  anyways, here's Walker America. He said ECB plans to roll out
• 54:15
  digital Euro CBDC starting in 2025.
• 54:19
  They claim it'll be private, but it will not be given the guard
• 54:23
  already wants to throw you in jail for €1000 anonymous cash
• 54:27
  payment, study Bitcoin and opt out of this totalitarian
• 54:30
  surveillance token. Right.
• 54:32
  And here it is. This is, this is from their own
• 54:35
  pitch deck, right? Literally, I'm gonna like copy
• 54:39
  this. You guys could don't trust,
• 54:41
  verify and see the press release yourself.
• 54:45
  But it says staying ahead of the curve, preparing our currency
• 54:48
  for the future. I'm gonna translate that What
• 54:51
  they really mean is staying ahead of the curve, preparing
• 54:55
  our currency to not be, you know, obsolete basically or
• 55:01
  trying to not be obsolete. This is like the horse and buggy
• 55:05
  people trying to stay relevant. This is like, you know, the
• 55:07
  before they had light bulbs, they had, you know, the gas.
• 55:10
  And that's how people lit their homes, right?
• 55:13
  It's the same thing, man. You know, it's changing times.
• 55:15
  The only difference, ladies and gentlemen, is you have to
• 55:18
  understand that all these innovations with the Internet
• 55:20
  and the car and airplane and all these things that have
• 55:25
  dramatically changed the human experience in life, right?
• 55:30
  For the better, I might add. They didn't unsettle this system
• 55:39
  that has been in place literally since the Renaissance, right?
• 55:44
  This system of central banking and then really since the start
• 55:49
  of the kind of nation state era, the early nation state era, that
• 55:53
  kind of the the, you know, the early Napoleonic wars and
• 55:56
  whatnot, that system hasn't really changed.
• 56:02
  It hasn't changed, right, In early U.S. history, you know,
• 56:06
  they resisted the introduction of a central bank for a very
• 56:10
  long time. Like, take a look at Andrew
• 56:12
  Jackson, right, fighting it. The Founding Fathers have some
• 56:15
  of the most famous quotes about the dangers of paper money.
• 56:20
  But finally, the US was captured.
• 56:23
  It did capitulate in 1913, which, coincidentally not a
• 56:26
  coincidence, was also the same date that the federal income tax
• 56:30
  was established. And then the rest is history,
• 56:33
  right? And then Ron Paul's quote comes
• 56:36
  to mind, right? It's not a coincidence that the
• 56:37
  bloodiest century in human history is also the century of
• 56:41
  central banking, right? So the central bankers and the
• 56:44
  political class are literally being made obsolete.
• 56:50
  Their system is being made obsolete.
• 56:52
  But remember, unlike other kind of private sector innovations
• 56:57
  like Barnes and Nobles and Amazon, you're dealing with the
• 57:01
  men with guns, you're dealing with government, you're dealing
• 57:06
  with the source of power of government.
• 57:10
  So it's a totally, totally different ball game, right?
• 57:15
  And they're going to use that power in order to maintain that
• 57:19
  privilege, right? The power of censorship, which
• 57:23
  they're failing at. Which, by the way, the the whole
• 57:25
  TikTok bill will, I don't know if we'll have time to get to get
• 57:28
  to that today, but they're using this power in order to hold on
• 57:35
  to this privilege, right? So the question that I have for
• 57:38
  you guys and it, and it requires a little bit of of, I, I don't
• 57:42
  want to say fighting 'cause that could be misconstrued, but like,
• 57:45
  it requires a little bit of agency, requires a little bit of
• 57:48
  action it requires for you to get active.
• 57:51
  But the the awesome part about this is that, like, when we say
• 57:54
  that, all we mean is literally buy Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin, mine
• 57:58
  Bitcoin, and take that Bitcoin into cold storage and you're
• 58:01
  part of the revolution. That's it.
• 58:02
  That's that's all that's required.
• 58:04
  It's just about opting out entirely.
• 58:06
  It's about just saying no, this is like, I I don't want to
• 58:08
  participate. And the more people do that, the
• 58:12
  more tyrannical and desperate they'll become.
• 58:17
  By doing that, they'll expose themselves more and more to the
• 58:22
  point where they don't have a good answer as to why.
• 58:26
  Money has to lose purchasing power to exist.
• 58:32
  They don't have a a real justification, you know, kind of
• 58:35
  alluding back to the Cynthia Lummis video earlier on in the
• 58:38
  show. They don't have a real
• 58:39
  justification as to why a central bank digital currency
• 58:44
  should be introduced in the US and the fact that it's already
• 58:49
  kind of in the window of discourse that this CBDC will be
• 58:53
  used for totalitarian control. Like.
• 58:56
  Yeah. Like, obviously that's what
• 58:59
  they're going to like. Look, if you take a look at
• 59:02
  history, I don't think you could find an example ever of, you
• 59:06
  know, a government or a nation state not using the powers that
• 59:11
  people or, you know, their constituents or their citizens
• 59:14
  or whatever you want to call it bestowed on them to them and and
• 59:17
  and they haven't used that power against them.
• 59:20
  Right. So like trusting a government
• 59:24
  with the CBDC, like even in the US.
• 59:26
  And this will be my last bit. Even the US with the 1st
• 59:30
  Amendment protections. OK, First Amendment protections.
• 59:34
  Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.
• 59:38
  I'm paraphrasing, but you guys get the point.
• 59:40
  The FBI could not help themselves.
• 59:44
  This was revealed during the Twitter files.
• 59:47
  But to censor certain people on behalf of the government.
• 59:52
  And now what you are trying to convince me of, right?
• 59:57
  Just as Janet Yellen, you know, was like, I regret saying
• 1:00:00
  inflation isn't transitory. What do you think they're gonna
• 1:00:03
  tell you? What?
• 1:00:03
  The CBD CS. Well, yeah, I mean, we just
• 1:00:06
  didn't know. Like, I mean, bro, like, you
• 1:00:09
  know, common sense here. But if they're not OK with you
• 1:00:14
  transacting information freely. If they're not OK.
• 1:00:19
  With you consuming. Certain types of information and
• 1:00:23
  and that. Is completely against the.
• 1:00:24
  Constitution. What makes you think they're
• 1:00:27
  going to be OK with you transacting freely?
• 1:00:31
  What makes you think they're going to be OK with you getting
• 1:00:35
  to choose what money you want to use or what money you want to
• 1:00:39
  save in? And look this effects and and I
• 1:00:47
  love the boomer bitcoiners. I love the Gen.
• 1:00:49
  X bitcoiners, but it's millennials and zoomers right
• 1:00:52
  now. Our generations got the blunt
• 1:00:55
  end of the stick. The 2008 financial crisis, if it
• 1:01:00
  wasn't for Bitcoin. I mean, look, if you're not in a
• 1:01:03
  Bitcoin standard and you're a Millennial or Gen.
• 1:01:05
  Z and you're not in the top 1%, the 1% good luck affording a
• 1:01:09
  home. You know, in the top American
• 1:01:12
  cities, even with a very well paying job.
• 1:01:14
  Like, you're literally probably paycheck to paycheck.
• 1:01:18
  So yeah, man, this is serious stuff.
• 1:01:21
  This is Bitcoin or slavery. Wake the F up In Europe, they're
• 1:01:26
  already showing you what they wanna do.
• 1:01:28
  They're they're they're literally telling you we don't
• 1:01:29
  care what you guys think, We're gonna shove this down your
• 1:01:32
  throats anyways. You know, at least in the US,
• 1:01:34
  they're having a little bit more trouble.
• 1:01:35
  There's a little bit more. There's a little bit more.
• 1:01:38
  Exactly someone in the chat quote.
• 1:01:40
  I regret that the CBDC has been tracking you, Janet Yellen, in
• 1:01:43
  2034. Exactly like it's the same
• 1:01:45
  thing. It's like, oh, oops, we messed
• 1:01:47
  up. No, no consequences for us.
• 1:01:50
  Just, I'm sorry. Like, no, man, Look, enough is
• 1:01:53
  enough. Forgive me if I just don't
• 1:01:56
  believe what the talking heads on TV have to say at this point.
• 1:01:59
  I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They've just they've betrayed
• 1:02:02
  that trust. Way, way, way too much.
• 1:02:05
  Anyways, first pass it on to Bryson and then Opti.
• 1:02:09
  Well, I mean living on a Fiat. Standard is like living on a
• 1:02:12
  perpetual treadmill you're always trying to keep up right
• 1:02:15
  and and you're just watching that goal get further and
• 1:02:18
  further away and and so so it it it doesn't make sense and well
• 1:02:23
  you you know you talk about CBD CS and and like Florida passing
• 1:02:28
  anti CBDC regulation which I think is great in a step in the
• 1:02:30
  right direction. But you look look at how how
• 1:02:34
  we've seen the I guess watering down of federalism in in in
• 1:02:38
  America specifically. Right.
• 1:02:39
  It's it was founded as the United States of America right.
• 1:02:42
  And initially the government failed because it was too weak
• 1:02:44
  right. There was no national currency
• 1:02:46
  and and and so it was revamped and and we all poured down
• 1:02:51
  poured under 1 banner right. We came together as the states.
• 1:02:54
  But federalism is the idea that you can have, you know, separate
• 1:02:57
  rules and laws and from state to state and with, you know, Fiat,
• 1:03:02
  you know, we've kind of seen that, you know, disappear
• 1:03:04
  because, you know, if a state does not capitulate, I like that
• 1:03:07
  for the US, Nako, to what the government wants, they're not
• 1:03:10
  going to fund them, right. And so, so you see like all
• 1:03:13
  these like, like the speed limits, for example, right
• 1:03:15
  during the gas crisis in the 70s, right.
• 1:03:18
  It's like, well, some states didn't capitulate to the to the
• 1:03:21
  federal government's speed limits.
• 1:03:23
  And so they just cut funding and eventually they had to give in
• 1:03:25
  because they needed that money. And and so Fiat has truly, truly
• 1:03:29
  diminished. Right federalism, which I think
• 1:03:31
  is a phenomenal foundational belief in in in the necessity
• 1:03:36
  for this country. And so you know, show me the
• 1:03:38
  incentives. I'll show you the outcome, right
• 1:03:39
  Fiat's ruining everything. And it it it's ruining the
• 1:03:42
  currency as well. Dude, who is this kid?
• 1:03:46
  I I'm. Telling you about the Zoomer,
• 1:03:48
  The Zoomers. Are gonna take.
• 1:03:49
  Over the world, bro. Literally.
• 1:03:52
  Anyways. Opti, what's your take on all
• 1:03:53
  this? Brother.
• 1:03:55
  Yeah, I mean, look, you guys. Know, I've tried to have the
• 1:03:57
  inside track on what's going on at the ECB and we know what
• 1:04:01
  they've been trying to do for a long time, but I think it's just
• 1:04:04
  going to fall flat again. We say the same thing all the
• 1:04:09
  time, Like governments are incompetent.
• 1:04:11
  They cannot compete with the free market.
• 1:04:13
  And I think it's a little too late, a little too little, too
• 1:04:16
  late. I mean, the road map is what the
• 1:04:18
  end of 2025 or something like that like by and Bitcoin is
• 1:04:22
  going to be in the six figures. So conservative bet that Bitcoin
• 1:04:26
  is going to be in the six figures by the time they even
• 1:04:28
  roll out of CBDC. So it's going to be very
• 1:04:30
  interesting to see them try to compete on the free market.
• 1:04:34
  Obviously, they will never actually compete on the free
• 1:04:37
  market. They will try to force people's
• 1:04:38
  behaviors. What's the latest meme from the
• 1:04:40
  Weave like we will force. Yeah, well, force behaviors like
• 1:04:44
  they're going to try to force you into the CDC system,
• 1:04:48
  basically make it impossible to live without a CDC system.
• 1:04:51
  And so I mean obviously we know this is coming.
• 1:04:54
  They've been talking about this for a long time.
• 1:04:56
  I just, I again, we have a real life example of what happens
• 1:05:00
  when the government tries to force the CBDCAKA Allah Nigeria.
• 1:05:04
  And I think people inherently have this like survival
• 1:05:08
  mechanism where they don't understand exactly the full
• 1:05:11
  technicalities of what's going on, but they just don't trust
• 1:05:14
  the government to offer us a better payment system or more
• 1:05:19
  connected, more unifying. I looked at the slide deck,
• 1:05:22
  maybe we can go into it tomorrow and it was saying something like
• 1:05:24
  no one's going to be left behind.
• 1:05:25
  Like everyone's going to be included in to this new CBDC
• 1:05:29
  system. We're going to connect the US or
• 1:05:32
  the the EU. Sorry.
• 1:05:33
  And that it's just like, man, you can tell that they're and
• 1:05:36
  very convenient. You can tell what their framing
• 1:05:39
  is, is convenience and connectivity and better digital
• 1:05:43
  payments. And it's like, look, we already
• 1:05:46
  got that. It's Bitcoin.
• 1:05:47
  Bitcoin is a global money. You don't have to ask
• 1:05:49
  permission. You don't need their permission
• 1:05:50
  to use it. All you need to do is take the
• 1:05:52
  first step and get off 0 100% bars to.
• 1:05:56
  That. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:05:57
  before we move on to the culture, I just want to leave it
• 1:06:01
  with a parting message from our dear Treasury Secretary in in
• 1:06:05
  2021, you, though you did say that inflation was transitory.
• 1:06:08
  Do do you regret saying that now?
• 1:06:10
  I regret saying it was transitory.
• 1:06:13
  It has come down but I think transitory means a a few weeks
• 1:06:18
  or months to most. Most.
• 1:06:20
  People Oh my God, Bitcoin or slavery?
• 1:06:24
  All right guys, I do want to give a shout out to our sponsor

  who know Bitcoin but have a hard time explaining it to their
• 1:07:50
  friends. It's a book for bitcoiners who

• 1:07:55

  All right, I am so excited for this.
• 1:08:06
  Anyway, before we do this. Though before we do this, this
• 1:08:10
  is what Nico keeps referencing, yes, but what Nico can't tell is
• 1:08:14
  I have an Internet connection here so I will still be plugged
• 1:08:17
  into the world and this is going to happen soon enough.
• 1:08:20
  Opti will disappear as. Soon as Bitcoin hits like 150 K
• 1:08:25
  and he's going to be buying gold chains and leopards.
• 1:08:27
  No, no, I got one. I'm.
• 1:08:29
  Good, I'm good. I'm good.
• 1:08:31
  All right, let's talk some Bitcoin zoomer talk.
• 1:08:34
  Let's talk. It's a dudes in my culture.
• 1:08:37
  Listen, Opti, you're not. You're not.
• 1:08:38
  Allowed to just drop off the face of the world, right?
• 1:08:40
  Because the Bitcoin or mentalities, dude can't just.
• 1:08:43
  This doesn't mean I'm dropping it.
• 1:08:45
  Just. Live in my best life.
• 1:08:47
  Don't you guys hold on? Hold on, just.
• 1:08:49
  Got to make more, you know, don't you?
• 1:08:50
  Want me to live my best life, man?
• 1:08:52
  Y'all, y'all, y'all are no fun here, OK?
• 1:08:54
  Anyways, Bryson. Absolutely.
• 1:08:57
  The rest of the No, no. No, no, no, no.
• 1:08:59
  Let's let's talk with Bryson. Let's talk with Bryson.
• 1:09:01
  Let's talk with Bryson. All right, We're having some fun
• 1:09:03
  today. But Bryson, you are a Bitcoin
• 1:09:07
  zoomer, as you can tell. No, I don't like this year.
• 1:09:10
  You can tell we have, we have an awesome zoomer on the team now.
• 1:09:15
  We love him. He's, as you can tell from
• 1:09:18
  today's show, very well informed.
• 1:09:20
  I I think he's one of those bright lights out there.
• 1:09:23
  But let's start with your Bitcoin origin story, because
• 1:09:26
  you've told me this before. And then we'll kind of you
• 1:09:28
  literally are at college right now yelling about Bitcoin.
• 1:09:30
  And I see you behind the scenes, like, people are like asking you
• 1:09:34
  questions and stuff. So let's start with your Bitcoin
• 1:09:36
  origin story, and then we'll talk about, like, your finger on
• 1:09:39
  the pulse of of what the Zoomers think of Bitcoin.
• 1:09:42
  Yeah, so I mean it all. Started about a year, year and a
• 1:09:44
  half ago. That shout out to the
• 1:09:47
  girlfriend's dad again, right? He is the one who introduced me,
• 1:09:50
  introduced it to me and I I kind of thought it was you know a
• 1:09:53
  little crazy and and unhinged a few screws loose which I'm still
• 1:09:56
  not convinced it doesn't have a few screws loose.
• 1:09:58
  But I think you know I think he just write about Bitcoin.
• 1:10:00
  At least I I didn't listen to him for a while crashed down to
• 1:10:04
  16 kind of made fun of him for a little bit And then and then I
• 1:10:07
  was talking to some friends at school you know genuinely asked
• 1:10:10
  him well hey how are we going to afford to live when we get out
• 1:10:13
  of college. And I I started you know
• 1:10:16
  thinking well maybe maybe he's on to something here and and I
• 1:10:19
  jumped straight into you know he hit me up with like 50 different
• 1:10:22
  resources blowing up my phone when I was in class.
• 1:10:24
  Hit me with all these links all these good Twitter accounts
• 1:10:29
  posted a lot of good content YouTube channels all over the
• 1:10:31
  place recommended a bunch of books and I I just fell into the
• 1:10:35
  rabbit hole and and being digitally naive as you guys have
• 1:10:37
  stated yeah it it it was extremely quick and extremely
• 1:10:41
  easy for me to see that hey this this is a much better system
• 1:10:44
  than than the the Fiat hell we're living in right.
• 1:10:47
  It's it's a race to the bottom and it it truly gives me
• 1:10:50
  something you know positive to look forward to in my day right.
• 1:10:53
  I wake up in the morning, I have so much more energy being on the
• 1:10:56
  orange steroid. I pop over my phone, see the
• 1:10:58
  price. I'm like, you know, yay or nay,
• 1:11:01
  hop on Twitter, see what news is going on, you know go for the
• 1:11:04
  low hanging fruit. Make fun of a bunch of senators
• 1:11:06
  and politicians trying to regulate mining or whatever.
• 1:11:08
  And and and it's just a great start to my day.
• 1:11:10
  It it, it truly gives me hope that things are going to get
• 1:11:12
  better. Love it, someone said.
• 1:11:16
  Girlfriend's dad sounds like the goat.
• 1:11:19
  Can you tell the audience, I think you told this in the
• 1:11:21
  private chat what he told you and the meme that you told me
• 1:11:25
  about orange Pilling. The boyfriend?
• 1:11:28
  He had a He had an orange. Pilling his daughter's boyfriend
• 1:11:32
  so she steals my bag and not his.
• 1:11:36
  What a goat. What a goat.
• 1:11:38
  OK, all right. Let's move the conversation a
• 1:11:40
  little bit. You literally are in college
• 1:11:42
  campus right now. You're in the library or one of
• 1:11:45
  the the. I don't what do you call it,
• 1:11:46
  study rooms or whatever? What is your general take on
• 1:11:51
  zoomers and and their outlook on Bitcoin?
• 1:11:55
  Do you have these conversations with your friends?
• 1:11:57
  I know you said you've orange peeled a few friends.
• 1:11:59
  Like, are you are you one of those batshit crazy kids?
• 1:12:02
  To the average person, Like, explain.
• 1:12:04
  Explain to us old guys here, the old heads in the room, what the
• 1:12:07
  zoomers think about Bitcoin on your college campus?
• 1:12:10
  Well, there's a lot of lingo used.
• 1:12:12
  In the community, of course, right?
• 1:12:13
  Like HFSP, right? Have fun staying poor, get off
• 1:12:16
  0. Right.
• 1:12:17
  NGU. And so, like, when I'm trying to
• 1:12:19
  talk to someone, I have to kind of remind myself that they they
• 1:12:21
  have no idea what in this terminology means.
• 1:12:23
  And so so yeah, a lot of people think you're pretty crazy just
• 1:12:26
  cause 'cause they don't know the language you're speaking, right?
• 1:12:28
  You could almost attribute it to to being a different language
• 1:12:32
  and so so it's very hard to put myself into someone's shoes who
• 1:12:35
  doesn't know anything about it and say hey how's the best way
• 1:12:37
  to orange code them and what pain points are actually going
• 1:12:39
  to resonate and get through to people.
• 1:12:41
  I mean that's that's the art of teaching right.
• 1:12:43
  Being able to teach someone is saying well where are they
• 1:12:45
  coming from and and you have multiple people coming from
• 1:12:47
  different backgrounds. I've talked to a few people in
• 1:12:50
  my generation about Bitcoin I've orange code I think three people
• 1:12:54
  I've met at college so far which is pretty good.
• 1:12:56
  I'm I'm I'm I'm pretty happy with that number if we're only
• 1:12:59
  trying for a couple of months but but there's there's there's
• 1:13:04
  a strong sense of status quo and and keeping things the same.
• 1:13:09
  It's like when you talk about the college education it's
• 1:13:11
  there's a lot of incompetent people coming here.
• 1:13:13
  I don't want to dox the college I go to but it's like with the
• 1:13:17
  the they're for profit institutions.
• 1:13:19
  Right. And the slogan basically was,
• 1:13:22
  you know, if you have a porse, if you breathe, we'd be glad to
• 1:13:25
  take your money for admission. And and I don't think that's a
• 1:13:28
  good use of my time to say, well, hey, if I complete this
• 1:13:30
  degree, I know someone was asking what I'm studying.
• 1:13:33
  I'm studying computer science and business.
• 1:13:36
  But even these two degrees have been completely watered down.
• 1:13:38
  And so like getting a piece of paper isn't as prominent or
• 1:13:42
  necessary as it as it once used to be.
• 1:13:45
  But but it's it's it's really difficult to get through because
• 1:13:49
  I mean a lot of college students don't really have any money
• 1:13:52
  usually their their balance starts with a negative in front
• 1:13:55
  of it, right. A lot of people are in debt And
• 1:13:57
  so you know even if they even if they, you know this is kind of
• 1:14:01
  the argument of you know, like if you've read the book Fiat
• 1:14:03
  Feud or something. You know if you if you can
• 1:14:06
  acknowledge that hey a lot of this food, all this pre
• 1:14:08
  processed food reading is bad for you.
• 1:14:10
  Well I mean what what's what's an alternative if if you're like
• 1:14:13
  middle like. So let's say you make the median
• 1:14:15
  income in America making $60,000 or so.
• 1:14:17
  I'm not entirely sure what it is exactly.
• 1:14:20
  And and you know that a lot of these foods you're eating at the
• 1:14:22
  grocery store are bad for you but you can't afford to buy
• 1:14:24
  healthier foods. What are you gonna do?
• 1:14:26
  Right. Are you just going to live and
• 1:14:28
  settle and say, hey, I've got to eat these food processed foods,
• 1:14:30
  high high fructose corn syrup you know vegetable oils and say
• 1:14:34
  well I need some food, right. Some food is better than no
• 1:14:36
  food. Right.
• 1:14:37
  And so that that's kind of where a lot of people in my generation
• 1:14:42
  take it the wrong way and say always being a pessimist about
• 1:14:44
  this because he's telling me that I need to invest in this
• 1:14:47
  but I don't have any money, all of my money is in college.
• 1:14:49
  I'm in debt, right? So, So when exactly when exactly
• 1:14:52
  am I going to have time to buy this right?
• 1:14:54
  And they're saying, Oh well if it truly does what people think
• 1:14:56
  and it goes to $1,000,000 a coin by the end of this year or next
• 1:14:59
  year. Right.
• 1:14:59
  Samson Mal the the Bull Turd next to Max Kaiser, how are they
• 1:15:05
  going to afford it? Right.
• 1:15:05
  They're they're going to have a overwhelming sense of missing
• 1:15:08
  out, right. And and that's a big concern
• 1:15:10
  with me talking about it is right.
• 1:15:13
  I I try not to dox myself and and tell people how much I have,
• 1:15:16
  although I can't have much. I'm I'm a I'm a freaking zoomer,
• 1:15:18
  right. I'm a 19 year old zoomer in
• 1:15:20
  college right. So but but it's like I, I, I
• 1:15:23
  kind of worry about talking to people about it in in mass
• 1:15:26
  quantities because you know the the the fear of a bad attack is
• 1:15:29
  truly something that could happen right of saying or
• 1:15:32
  something. You know if I don't custody it
• 1:15:33
  with the bank and there's there's no way the government
• 1:15:35
  could well regain control of of my stash.
• 1:15:40
  If someone to you know threaten me with the bat and say hey give
• 1:15:42
  me your corridor you know goodbye goodbye to you.
• 1:15:47
  It's tough it's tough to say when when when is this a
• 1:15:50
  conversation with having with someone.
• 1:15:51
  So usually you start with hey the economy's bad things are too
• 1:15:54
  expensive and you and you and you talk about well why is the
• 1:15:58
  word the way it is and and then you can kind of see see how
• 1:16:01
  subtle hints into you know Bitcoin and if they're receptive
• 1:16:04
  and and and you think it takes then then you can move into it.
• 1:16:07
  But as far as as far as actually Orange pulling the Zoomers, it's
• 1:16:12
  it's tough to do something like that on on YouTube or Twitter
• 1:16:15
  because you know like like Twitter is.
• 1:16:18
  I don't want to make the comparison to Facebook but you
• 1:16:20
  know when you think of a Facebook user you think of a mom
• 1:16:22
  or a boomer talking about like his you know whatever it is C5
• 1:16:27
  Corvette and and Instagram is Instagram and TikTok.
• 1:16:31
  We'll see what happens to the TikTok after the regulation or
• 1:16:34
  after the after Congress voted voted on that today it it is a
• 1:16:38
  target rich environment for zoomers and so I think that's
• 1:16:41
  where we we should be focusing a bit more attention on on orange
• 1:16:44
  Pilling and and and saying hey listen this is this is this is
• 1:16:47
  something positive to look look at and say if you have a better
• 1:16:50
  chance of having a good life if you adopt Bitcoin as a savings
• 1:16:54
  savings strategy. Love it.
• 1:16:56
  Love it. OK, One one.
• 1:16:58
  Good. Question And then I have one
• 1:16:59
  more question for you. I don't, I don't know the the
• 1:17:03
  name here, but it goes. How big?
• 1:17:06
  How big is unit bias preventing zoomers from buying Bitcoin and
• 1:17:10
  causing them to turn shit corners at large?
• 1:17:13
  One of my. One of my friends like Orange
• 1:17:15
  Build she was talking to someone who who bought Bitcoin and who's
• 1:17:19
  like I'm going to buy some doge just for the fun of it and and
• 1:17:23
  that's that's going to entice a lot of people.
• 1:17:25
  Being in computer science you'd think a lot of the people I
• 1:17:27
  spend time with would be orange pilled or very easy to be orange
• 1:17:32
  pilled because we we code for a living we sit in front of a a
• 1:17:36
  screen from 9:00 to 5:00 and looking at lines of code
• 1:17:38
  debugging a semi colon but but it's actually not that easy I
• 1:17:42
  I've not read into ACS major who's actually for which code
• 1:17:45
  which is kind of funny but but I've run into a few shit
• 1:17:49
  quarters which is which is very unfortunate and and I'm not sure
• 1:17:54
  about the best way of going going about you know getting
• 1:17:57
  getting young people off of shit coins.
• 1:18:01
  I mean I I think one of the worst things for society is
• 1:18:03
  we've we've removed the nuclear family from the West especially
• 1:18:07
  and I think this is this is a move in the right direction to
• 1:18:10
  to kind of self correct and of course correct perhaps is a is a
• 1:18:14
  better better phrase back back to a you know nuclear family
• 1:18:18
  structure of saying hey we have the money to actually have a
• 1:18:21
  family and and and it really I I can't I can't I can't attest for
• 1:18:27
  what's going on in other zoomers minds but but that's what I've
• 1:18:29
  seen love it love it OK last. Question for you Bryson,
• 1:18:34
  especially considering you are probably have a few zoomers
• 1:18:39
  around you currently. I saw you behind the scenes
• 1:18:41
  talking to people. So what is your TLDR elevator
• 1:18:45
  pitch for a zoomer out there that may be on the fence in
• 1:18:49
  regards to Bitcoin? Oh, that's a tough one.
• 1:18:52
  I'd. I'd.
• 1:18:52
  Have to think about that. For a moment, like I said it, it
• 1:18:55
  truly depends on the on the pain points experienced by that
• 1:18:58
  person, right? Like, a little off topic here,
• 1:19:01
  but you, you sit here and you say, OK, I I, I live in, you
• 1:19:06
  know, suburbia, Arizona. And it's it's a pretty good
• 1:19:10
  life, right? It's it's a very good life
• 1:19:12
  relative to the rest of the world.
• 1:19:15
  And so when you, when you sit here and you say, hey, you need
• 1:19:17
  Bitcoin, cause 'cause gas goes up a dollar, that's not going to
• 1:19:19
  be a good pain point to hit because, well, if gas costs 15
• 1:19:24
  bucks and you're living in a nice house in suburbia, is it
• 1:19:28
  inconvenient? Do you like it?
• 1:19:30
  Perhaps not. Right?
• 1:19:31
  But it's not. If not, it's not the difference
• 1:19:33
  between eating and commuting to to work or getting your kids to
• 1:19:36
  school. And so where I live, right, and
• 1:19:39
  especially at colleges is kids don't really think about that.
• 1:19:43
  And so so it's it's hard to pinpoint one flashing message
• 1:19:49
  that would that resonates with my more conservative friends.
• 1:19:54
  I I usually go to the family conversation with women I
• 1:19:59
  usually say hey you know food right nurturing being able to
• 1:20:03
  have financial freedom right. But but it's it's tough I don't
• 1:20:06
  think there's one answer so I don't I don't really want to
• 1:20:08
  answer that because I don't think there is one answer right.
• 1:20:10
  It's it's not a it's not a one one-size-fits-all question.
• 1:20:16
  Now I love it. I I mean, I've been saying for
• 1:20:17
  a. While I stole it from How to Win
• 1:20:20
  Friends and Influences IS IS or how to influence.
• 1:20:23
  You guys know the book and it says something on the lines of
• 1:20:26
  bait, the hook for the fish you're trying to catch.
• 1:20:28
  And it's something I tell everyone here all the time and
• 1:20:31
  anyone that'll listen, It's like guys you know.
• 1:20:33
  I know we all have like an epic Bitcoin rant, but you got to
• 1:20:37
  tailor the message to someone, find their pain points, see what
• 1:20:41
  they are interested in, what they're focused on, and then you
• 1:20:44
  plug Bitcoin on top of it. So this is how you orange pill
• 1:20:48
  the world. But before I move on I do want
• 1:20:51
  to hit on the the Super chat shouts out Thomas Hara Hara
• 1:20:56
  forgive me. And he goes, thank you Bryson.
• 1:20:58
  Stay humble. He's a fellow Gen. zer out
• 1:21:01
  there. And then Bryson someone wants to
• 1:21:04
  oh wait another one shouts out to you guys.
• 1:21:07
  Dude BTC believer goes keep up the signal guys.
• 1:21:11
  Really appreciate the Super chat someone said Bryson what is your
• 1:21:16
  Ellen at? So we'll have to Do you have
• 1:21:19
  Ellen at or an address They want to send you some Sats, dude, I
• 1:21:25
  do not have. Work right now?
• 1:21:26
  Not all right. OK, we'll get him up.
• 1:21:28
  We'll get him up and running. With an Ellen address soon and
• 1:21:32
  we'll drop that signal for you guys.
• 1:21:34
  So, man, really appreciate all you guys today Means a lot,
• 1:21:38
  Bryson. You guys can catch him, you
• 1:21:41
  know. Actually, what's the last
• 1:21:42
  message you want to leave with the audience out there, Bryson?
• 1:21:46
  Seriously, Opti? You're going to throw me on
• 1:21:48
  throw me on the spotlight again I I would attest Nico was saying
• 1:21:52
  the beard grows in better when you're in a bull market like I
• 1:21:54
  can. I can attest to that.
• 1:21:56
  I've I've got a little scruff going on here.
• 1:21:57
  It's it's a little light colored so you can't see it well but but
• 1:22:01
  hey being in the bull market is helping.
• 1:22:02
  So you know what I'm praying for you.
• 1:22:03
  I'm praying for you Opti, that that you're going to be able to
• 1:22:06
  one day grow in as well as me. But yeah everyone just needs to
• 1:22:10
  stay humble especially in this bull run.
• 1:22:11
  Make sure if you're self custody and you actually don't have any,
• 1:22:15
  don't have any issues with that. You know, do some tests, test
• 1:22:18
  transactions, make sure you can move it if you had to, make sure
• 1:22:20
  it's safe and and and just just stay humble during the bull
• 1:22:25
  market, right and because at the end of the day we don't know how
• 1:22:28
  crazy it could get. Like I said, if it goes to
• 1:22:31
  $1,000,000 a coin, you don't, you perhaps don't want everyone
• 1:22:33
  knowing that you have whatever your stash is, that that that
• 1:22:37
  could perhaps end very badly. So stay, stay humble, enjoy all
• 1:22:41
  the meaning. Let's go for the low hanging
• 1:22:43
  fruit on all of the regulators trying to ban Bitcoin and let's
• 1:22:46
