• 0:17
  Yeah, what's up everyone? It's your boy Opti.
• 0:19
  We're back for another simply Bitcoin TTO.
• 0:23
  I'm super excited for this one. I got a good friend that came in
• 0:25
  today and every time we have these conversations, I literally
• 0:29
  was just on his podcast. I think it was what, 3 weeks ago
• 0:32
  or something? And I went on an epic like 2-3
• 0:35
  hour rant about this. We're not going to stay here for
• 0:37
  three hours, guys, but me and Brandon have these conversations
• 0:42
  probably every day, every other day on Twitter Spaces, and I
• 0:46
  wanted to bring the conversation to simply Bitcoin because not
• 0:49
  everyone hangs out on Twitter Spaces.
• 0:51
  And I think this is not only great framing in regards to what
• 0:54
  we're doing here as Bitcoiners, but it really is an inspiring
• 0:57
  message. And and that's what we're really
• 0:59
  about here on TTO is framing what we're doing correctly,
• 1:02
  making sure we're lowering our time preference, and
• 1:04
  understanding the significance of what we are doing here as
• 1:08
  bitcoiners. Anyways, Brandon aka Brandon
• 1:12
  genteelly on Twitter and he has a YouTube show that he just
• 1:18
  dropped called Freedom Isn't Free.
• 1:19
  Hence, that's what we're calling this one today because that is
• 1:22
  the crux of the situation of everything we're doing here.
• 1:25
  Anyways, Brandon, how you doing bro?
• 1:27
  Good to have you. We did have some troubleshooting
• 1:29
  issues, but no worries. It's classic, right.
• 1:32
  It's good to see you brother. Appreciate you having me on.
• 1:34
  And yeah, the spaces would you guys run is is incredible and.
• 1:38
  Hopefully there's 10,000 more people doing just this very
• 1:41
  thing a year or two from now and leading that 3% charge.
• 1:44
  Right. There we go.
• 1:46
  Well, you already dropped it on them.
• 1:47
  So this. I think you told me this, what,
• 1:51
  two months ago or something, and it really blew my mind.
• 1:55
  So before we get into it, maybe some context.
• 1:58
  Brandon always reminds me about the American Revolution and how
• 2:02
  the founding Founding Fathers gave us freedom, gave us liberty
• 2:06
  and gave us a country based on these ideals.
• 2:09
  And it only took the 3%. Now, Brandon, jump there.
• 2:13
  Give us that context and then we'll have a little conversation
• 2:16
  and we'll continue down the rabbit hole.
• 2:19
  Yeah, I mean this is, it's something that we get in this
• 2:22
  echo chamber sometimes, obviously, you know, thinking
• 2:25
  about all that has to be done right and the people we need,
• 2:27
  the orange pill, the people we need to educate, the people we
• 2:29
  need a red pill, whatever it might be.
• 2:31
  And you, you really do have to take a step back and understand
• 2:35
  that. It's only a small amount of
• 2:38
  people quite honestly in the grand scheme of things that you
• 2:40
  need to lead the charge and there's you're never going to
• 2:42
  have 100% of people agree with you in anything in life, right?
• 2:45
  And you have to realize it's it's a select few, it's a select
• 2:49
  few people. The people that have the ears to
• 2:51
  hear and the eyes to see. That's it.
• 2:53
  That's all you need. And if you again we the part of
• 2:56
  that three hour rant that you would went on on my pod the
• 2:58
  other day, it was a lot of it was talking about.
• 3:02
  You know religion, you know nature's law, things like that.
• 3:06
  A higher being, nature's. You know, law.
• 3:09
  The calling. You know the thing you feel
• 3:11
  inside of you, whatever people want to talk about it as or
• 3:14
  refer to it as. There's only so many people.
• 3:17
  But if you read the Bible. You know, and you're a student
• 3:19
  of the Bible, whether you're religious or not, Studying the
• 3:22
  Bible might be a good thing to do for you, potentially.
• 3:24
  But there's a lot of readings, a lot of things in there that talk
• 3:26
  about that, you know, the poor will always be among you, things
• 3:29
  of that nature, understanding that there's going to be people
• 3:32
  who just for whatever reason, they just choose not to see.
• 3:35
  They don't want to see. Truth can hit them in the face
• 3:38
  1000 times over and they will not see.
• 3:40
  And and that's just life. And you have to understand that
• 3:43
  you'd be okay with that. And that's something that I.
• 3:44
  It's taken me a long time. I'm 36 years old and it's taken
• 3:47
  me a long time, especially when you're younger, right?
• 3:49
  As an alpha male, playing hockey, things like that.
• 3:52
  And you think everyone's a jock. Everyone wants to get after it.
• 3:55
  Everyone wants to, you know, get better.
• 3:56
  Everyone wants to do this. And you look around you and
• 3:58
  there are people playing professional hockey.
• 4:00
  A lot of people that was around a lot of didn't want to get
• 4:03
  better. And it blew me away and it just
• 4:05
  didn't make any sense to me. And I I didn't understand how
• 4:07
  there weren't people who are always trying to get better
• 4:09
  every single day thinking about the meals they ate, thinking
• 4:13
  about, you know, taking care of their body and and on and on and
• 4:16
  on. And most people just don't think
• 4:17
  like that, even at the highest levels of society.
• 4:19
  So when you have that and then you look at government and
• 4:23
  people just think like, well, those people are going to,
• 4:25
  they're taking care of themselves.
• 4:26
  They're going to take care of the rest of us.
• 4:27
  They're going to. You know people in elite level
• 4:29
  society then you read you know I I I really resonated with David
• 4:32
  Goggins book you can't hurt me and he talked about the very
• 4:35
  same thing he got to the SEAL teams and he they said the same
• 4:37
  he said the same thing. He looked around, he said
• 4:38
  alright guys, let's go work out and they're like we made it man,
• 4:41
  we're good. And I I really resonated with
• 4:43
  that playing professional hockey.
• 4:45
  It was the same kind of kind of attitude in in those circles as
• 4:47
  well and that's majority of human beings and and that's life
• 4:51
  and you have to understand that. But the good part is that the
• 4:54
  hope filled part is. You need to put in your work and
• 4:57
  your effort because that is the test of life.
• 4:58
  Those that have the ears to hear in the eyes to see.
• 5:01
  We have a duty. We have a different sense of
• 5:03
  duty to go do those things and lead the people that that are
• 5:06
  going to be the other leaders who have those years to hear to
• 5:10
  come and be that 3% to to effect change starting strong and and
• 5:16
  we'll get into the winners mentality stuff because that's
• 5:19
  that's really what I originally had the idea with TTL is kind of
• 5:23
  trying to instill that winner's mentality and show all you guys
• 5:28
  out there that being a bitcoiner means you're a winner.
• 5:31
  But it doesn't just stop with you stacking sats, with you
• 5:34
  saving in Bitcoin. It's about creating more in your
• 5:36
  life and creating that abundance in your life through scarcity
• 5:40
  through digital scarcity. But I want to come back a little
• 5:43
  bit because you touched on a few things and and I've been going
• 5:45
  back and forth on this one. You basically touched on the
• 5:48
  Pareto principle. And this is something I keep
• 5:51
  trying to explain to people and I I talked to my my friends and
• 5:56
  I try to explain to them. And we always ask ourselves the
• 5:59
  same question, like how many people in the world get it?
• 6:02
  And by it, it can mean whatever, whatever you want it to be.
• 6:05
  And I'm always just, I always lean on the Pareto principle of
• 6:08
  like probably 20% of the population get it, and the other
• 6:11
  80%, you know, not to be harsh, but as common nomenclature would
• 6:16
  say, are the sheep, They're the sheeple, they're the normies.
• 6:19
  Is that 80% of the population that, you know, just wants to
• 6:22
  dig their head in the sand and forget about everything?
• 6:25
  You know the cipher from the Matrix.
• 6:27
  I just want to eat the steak and unplug.
• 6:29
  And I don't blame them. At times I wish I was one of the
• 6:31
  80%, but I'm starting to realize I don't have a choice in this
• 6:35
  matter. I am part of that 20%.
• 6:37
  And the real question for you, Brandon, and and actually I
• 6:41
  think I already know the answer, but is it less than 20% of the
• 6:45
  population that really gets it? Is it less of the 20% of the
• 6:49
  population that we need to really effectuate change?
• 6:52
  And I already know the answer because we've had these
• 6:55
  conversations, but for the people out there, let's dive
• 6:57
  into this. What do you think is the actual
• 7:01
  number percentage wise, obviously speculating in its
• 7:04
  guess where things fundamentally change, where once we get to
• 7:08
  this percentage of the population then things are
• 7:11
  fundamentally different. And I have a I have kind of a an
• 7:14
  idea on this as well. It's based on the bell curve
• 7:16
  meme. But so Brandon, what would be
• 7:20
  your thoughts? We know we start with that 3%.
• 7:23
  You know, the Founding Fathers were 3% of the American
• 7:25
  population at the turn of the century when when they won us
• 7:29
  freedom as a country and they inspired the rest.
• 7:32
  And at what point do you think does everyone get freedom?
• 7:37
  And and in our case, obviously we're less than 3% of the
• 7:40
  population that huddles Bitcoin, but at what percentage do you
• 7:44
  think is the final tipping point?
• 7:46
  Well, again, going back to, you know, biblical numbers, I mean
• 7:49
  10 is one of them, obviously 10% or 10% tithing, things like
• 7:53
  that. And that's always a number that
• 7:55
  gets thrown around a lot throughout the course of life
• 7:58
  and also throughout the Bible. But 3% as well.
• 8:02
  I I would, I would stick with around 3%.
• 8:04
  I mean there's there's a lot of arguments we made around that.
• 8:06
  Like you said the American Revolution was 3% of people.
• 8:10
  The founding Fathers leading the charge in in quite honestly this
• 8:12
  is, this is something like people look into like the black
• 8:15
  robe regiment, pastors and priests that were leading the
• 8:18
  charge, literally leading the charge of the American
• 8:20
  Revolution grabbing their muskets in the church and
• 8:23
  running out the door and saying let's go we're we're we're
• 8:26
  taking the British on and they were the ones leading the
• 8:28
  charge. People again when you know.
• 8:32
  There it history is out there for people who want to see it
• 8:34
  right. The history for people who want
• 8:36
  to see your ears to hear right and and most of it is not
• 8:40
  taught. And again people can speculate
• 8:42
  as to why that is. I have my own answers as as as
• 8:45
  we talked all the time of why things aren't taught
• 8:48
  specifically. But British came over here and
• 8:50
  they were taking out priests. They were trying to take out
• 8:51
  churches and take out priests because those are the ones
• 8:54
  leading in charge. And again, look up the black Rub
• 8:56
  regiment there were white. Priests and pastors, there were
• 8:59
  black priests and pastors people they've just been erased from
• 9:02
  history. You know these these religious
• 9:04
  figures, blacks, whites you know everyone different cultures
• 9:09
  completely erased from history and and very few with any.
• 9:12
  I mean we're talking weightless and three we're talking point
• 9:14
  point. You know .003% of people even
• 9:16
  remotely know that that was the case.
• 9:17
  And how can you not know your history?
• 9:19
  How can these people not be put on a pedestal like true heroes
• 9:22
  and and the leaders of of this, you know, outside the founding
• 9:26
  fathers I'm talking about. And so it really is a small
• 9:29
  minority that can affect the change and wake the other people
• 9:32
  up. So it may be less than 3%, but I
• 9:35
  would say 3%. We see that from the revolution.
• 9:36
  Those are the people that fighting the war.
• 9:38
  And then more people started to come into the fold afterward,
• 9:41
  obviously goes down and start falling and then people start
• 9:44
  getting. So like for instance, when I was
• 9:46
  younger, I used to think that like everyone needs to like
• 9:49
  believe what I'm saying because like this is truth.
• 9:50
  It's objective truth. And again, objective truth
• 9:53
  doesn't sell very well, right? You have to, you get the
• 9:55
  emotion. You know people, they make
• 9:57
  decisions based on emotion and then they justify with logic
• 9:59
  later. And I was always backwards.
• 10:01
  I was always thinking of logic and trying to sell logic when I
• 10:03
  was younger, in my teens and my early 20s.
• 10:05
  And then when I got into business and things like that,
• 10:07
  then I realized it's it's opposite brand that that's why
• 10:10
  no one was believing you when you were younger.
• 10:11
  And maybe being a teenager didn't help as as well either.
• 10:14
  But you you don't need many people.
• 10:17
  But once those people start. Making sense, I guess.
• 10:21
  Or world events start showing them to be correct or they start
• 10:24
  winning the war. That's when the other four
• 10:27
  percent, 510 percent, 20% of people start coming in and
• 10:30
  saying, hey, look great, we're winning.
• 10:32
  And you know, it's it's the old saying of, I think it was Thomas
• 10:35
  Paine of, you know, are you a Winter Soldier or Summer with a
• 10:38
  Summer Patriot or a Winter Soldier?
• 10:40
  And you know, what kind of person are you?
• 10:42
  Are you there in the tough times during the winter or are you
• 10:44
  just there in the summer. Are you just there to hang out
• 10:45
  and have fun like we're winning. You know, great.
• 10:48
  Like you guys look at you're winning.
• 10:49
  I'm just going to jump in now and then that's really the times
• 10:52
  again. The Thomas Paine going back to
• 10:53
  Thomas Paine is the time. The time to try and then souls.
• 10:56
  So some great books pamphlets that he wrote back then to to
• 10:59
  think about time for now common sense and and the time to type
• 11:03
  try and souls that we're in those times going forward.
• 11:06
  Are we going to stand and fight. We saw in the last couple years,
• 11:08
  obviously people that stood. I was just listening to Ron Paul
• 11:11
  actually earlier today talking about the draft coming up and
• 11:14
  trying to institute a limited draft and that was self
• 11:18
  selection in itself. They they want to potentially
• 11:21
  self select people or select people or draft people from self
• 11:24
  selection. Well, what does that mean?
• 11:25
  It means anyone who signed up any mail, who signed up when
• 11:28
  they were 18 years old. Well, did you do that?
• 11:30
  Did did you sign up when you were 18?
• 11:32
  That's self selection. You were saying because they
• 11:34
  know who you are. What do they Social Security
• 11:36
  number six, 6 minutes after you're born.
• 11:39
  You know, I've had four children and I to this day, I mean every
• 11:42
  it gives me chills. Every time they're like, okay,
• 11:44
  we're going to fill it out. It was like not even 24 hours
• 11:46
  after every kid was born. And you're sitting there and
• 11:48
  you're helpless. You're just like what what is
• 11:50
  going on? And their number, you know
• 11:52
  you're numbered so they can assign debt to you.
• 11:55
  You know, you're being assigned your portion of the American
• 11:57
  debt at birth. That's how they do it.
• 11:59
  It's the through the Social Security system, you're numbered
• 12:02
  and you are assigned that amount of debt and they so they can
• 12:05
  track you like a number throughout the rest of your
• 12:06
  life. And so they know who you are.
• 12:08
  You're turning 18, you're all of a sudden you're out, you're
• 12:10
  gone. They lost you.
• 12:11
  They you know they don't know where you went.
• 12:13
  No you're self selecting because they're seeing who's going to
• 12:15
  self select who is going to follow an obey orders.
• 12:18
  It's the same thing. It's the same thing with
• 12:19
  executive order 6102 gold. Who's going to give their gold
• 12:22
  up You know who's willingly going to do this same thing with
• 12:25
  gun confiscation and on and on and on.
• 12:26
  You can see this pattern start to to play out overtime, so many
• 12:32
  rabbit holes to go down there, whether it's the chattel, you
• 12:36
  know that you're just a number your dad's being assigned to you
• 12:39
  at at the instant you are born. But I really want to go back a
• 12:43
  little bit because I also was really like or rather have been
• 12:48
  low key disillusion with humanity since 2020.
• 12:51
  Like I'm team human. I think humans are the greatest
• 12:53
  and also at times the worst. And since 2020 it's been, I
• 12:57
  don't know, bitter pill to swallow.
• 12:59
  It's like man, I really thought there was more critical thinkers
• 13:02
  out there. I really thought humans would
• 13:05
  believe in freedom more and they just cowered and they got
• 13:09
  scared. And it really is one of those
• 13:12
  disheartening moments where you realize, wow, I really might be
• 13:15
  alone in this and and hence why I'm always advocating for people
• 13:18
  to get in touch with other likeminded individuals.
• 13:20
  Other bitcoiners make sure that these people are around you.
• 13:23
  Because when the times get tough, man, you want other
• 13:26
  people to lean on, to have these conversations with to basically
• 13:31
  reflect to yourself, reflect back to yourself that you are
• 13:35
  not actually crazy, that everyone else has gone mad and
• 13:38
  it's not you. But before we go into some of
• 13:41
  these other conversations first, I also remember being frustrated
• 13:45
  as a kid and trying to speak truth to people.
• 13:48
  And they're just like, shut up off you.
• 13:49
  What are you talking about? You don't know anything.
• 13:50
  And I'm like, no, I see it like you know what's what's the Adam
• 13:54
  Sandler like stay in school like you do one of those things, man.
• 13:59
  But back to the what I think I'll put my numbers out since I
• 14:03
  said I was going to do it. I really do believe in that 3%
• 14:07
  number that you're telling us because we have those historical
• 14:10
  records for it. But I also I saw this other
• 14:13
  metric and I I'm blanking on where I got the metric from.
• 14:16
  But it basically said something on the same lines.
• 14:20
  And I read this probably like 2 days before you told me that the
• 14:23
  same thing until it was like one of those like hammers like oh
• 14:26
  wow, like maybe I'm onto something here.
• 14:28
  But it was essentially that for adoption, I think it was for a
• 14:32
  fad or something. I forget what it was exactly.
• 14:35
  Maybe it was marketing or something like that.
• 14:37
  You know, researching marketing so we can get better at business
• 14:39
  and all this stuff. And it said something on the
• 14:41
  lines of it takes 3 to 5% of people to adopt something.
• 14:47
  And then once you have those ardent believers in that 3 to
• 14:50
  5%, then that 3 to 5% inspires the 15%.
• 14:54
  And then somewhere around that 13 to 15% range is when it be
• 14:58
  just it becomes ubiquitous with everything and it's like it
• 15:02
  happens overnight. And I think I, you know again
• 15:06
  we're speculating. I think that's where we are
• 15:09
  right now. Like we need 3 to 5% of ardent
• 15:14
  Bitcoin Maxis out there of true believers.
• 15:16
  You know the Bitcoin remnant if you will, and then after that 3
• 15:20
  to 5%, then everyone you know, each one will teach one and
• 15:24
  everyone else will have a few friends that are bitcoiners,
• 15:27
  that are, you know, understand what's going on.
• 15:29
  And as we ripple through population at a certain tipping
• 15:32
  point, whether that's that 1315%, ten percent, 20%, we
• 15:36
  really don't know. But we know there is a tipping
• 15:39
  point in regards to adoption, and it's a lot smaller than we
• 15:43
  even understand. Like right now the the whole
• 15:46
  world's not even on the Internet.
• 15:47
  I think it's what, like half of the population is on the
• 15:49
  Internet. And it's not like we're ever
• 15:51
  going to go back to a time without the Internet.
• 15:53
  And people are still like, you know, most of us are are lulled
• 15:56
  to sleep in the first world where we think like, Oh yeah,
• 15:58
  everyone's on the Internet, bro. And it's like, Nah, I think it's
• 16:01
  somewhere between like 3.8 billion people, maybe 4 billion
• 16:05
  people on the Internet right now.
• 16:07
  And you think we're going to go back to a world without the
• 16:09
  Internet? It's like no bro, like not
• 16:11
  everyone is even on the Internet today and there's no going back.
• 16:14
  And so it's kind of back to the idea of what are we really doing
• 16:19
  here in Bitcoin adoption. You know advocating Bitcoin
• 16:22
  number go up is obviously going to bring people in.
• 16:24
  But do we need every single person to be a bitcoiner in the
• 16:28
  short term? Like I don't think so.
• 16:30
  I think we just need that ardent believer you know what's the the
• 16:34
  saying quality over quantity. I think this is where we are and
• 16:37
  and I think the only reason I'm kind of bringing this up is we
• 16:41
  we are basically at the tail end of a bear market, the beginning
• 16:45
  of a bull market. I I have noticed a lot of my
• 16:48
  friends are getting that bear market fatigue and they're
• 16:52
  getting angry and they're lashing out and everyone's
• 16:54
  attacking each other and you just kind of want to reframe the
• 16:58
  conversation for people of like guys we're winning.
• 17:02
  Just keep your head on. That's why I'm always saying
• 17:04
  like get outside, touch some grass.
• 17:06
  Like the person you are arguing with on Twitter will be there
• 17:09
  when you come back. Like keep your head in the game
• 17:12
  guys, because this is a marathon, not a sprit.
• 17:14
  And and I think a lot of people forget this.
• 17:17
  We get short sighted. We, you know, we get greedy, we
• 17:20
  want things to happen overnight. And This is why I love these
• 17:23
  conversations with you Brandon, because you keep my head in the
• 17:26
  game as well. We're like we bounce these ideas
• 17:28
  off each other and it's like, OK, I'm not the only one seeing
• 17:32
  the same thing in the world. And as much as I try to do my
• 17:35
  best to avoid groupthink, it helps having other people like
• 17:39
  minded individuals around you that are seeing the same thing
• 17:42
  as you are. So you remember that you're not
• 17:44
  actually crazy here, like you are seeing the world clearly.
• 17:47
  And this is my. I think this is my market thesis
• 17:51
  here is like if bitcoiners are correct, which I truly believe
• 17:55
  we are correct, then we shall prosper moving forward.
• 17:59
  And via that prosperity, it shows that we are actually
• 18:04
  correct. And we shouldn't shy away from
• 18:06
  this fact of hey, your life's going to get better.
• 18:09
  You will accumulate well, you will have cash flow come in.
• 18:12
  You will build a business that does well.
• 18:13
  And there's nothing to be ashamed of.
• 18:15
  It's like this is proof that we are aligned with natural law,
• 18:18
  that our philosophies and our our worldview is correct.
• 18:22
  And to double down on that and hence why it's like, hey man,
• 18:26
  it's that winner's mentality, get fit physically, mentally,
• 18:29
  spiritually and make sure everything is in a row because
• 18:33
  like what are we doing here? And I think you and I, Brandon,
• 18:36
  have kind of talked about this before of being the Billboard
• 18:41
  like you are the message in regards to that Bitcoin signal.
• 18:45
  And I don't think a lot of bitcoiners even acknowledge
• 18:48
  this, that, you know, they don't even like groom themselves.
• 18:50
  They don't dress well. They probably stink a little
• 18:53
  bit, you know, Bitcoin and ONS out there that don't care what
• 18:55
  they look like. And I think you and I keep going
• 18:59
  back and forth on this idea. It's like you are the message,
• 19:01
  live the message. Because people want to live a
• 19:04
  good life. And the only way we can really
• 19:07
  spread this message is by living that good life.
• 19:10
  And people can look to us and be like, oh, I want what he has.
• 19:13
  How is he so optimistic in the face of the world burning And
• 19:16
  you're like yours, Bitcoin. So Brandon, I ratchet enough
• 19:20
  this is about you. What's your thoughts on that
• 19:23
  idea of living the message? What's the best way to spread
• 19:26
  Bitcoin to orange pill people? What does the road of Bitcoin
• 19:31
  adoption look for you? Well, you know, you make great
• 19:34
  points there and I think of courage.
• 19:36
  You know, courage is contagious. And that's why I I I love what
• 19:40
  you guys do. It's what I try to do with, you
• 19:43
  know, my channel, the blog, you know, writing whatever it is,
• 19:47
  Bitcoin trading cards, what we're doing there and putting on
• 19:50
  education, what I'm doing with my four young children.
• 19:52
  Write everything. Everything that I do, what you
• 19:54
  guys are doing, the people I associate myself with now over
• 19:57
  the last year has to do with Orange filling people it has to
• 19:59
  do with. Planetary education quite
• 20:01
  honestly in in freedom and liberty that's the number one
• 20:04
  thing and I go back to a lot the last few months we've talked
• 20:08
  about it obviously and on on the spaces after the simply show.
• 20:11
  You know is is laying down your life and picking up your cross
• 20:14
  and I I keep coming back to that a lot And you know I have a
• 20:17
  strong faith and you know we talked about this a lot on on on
• 20:20
  my on mine when I was interviewing you.
• 20:22
  And I just think about that a lot and it just goes back to
• 20:25
  doing the right thing. You know doing what's in your
• 20:27
  heart doing you know following your conscience and you're you
• 20:31
  know your intuition in a way and and doing because the thing I
• 20:34
  think of my my grandfather died last January so a year and a
• 20:38
  half ago and he was 88 years old lived an amazing life but he
• 20:42
  died suddenly it it sounded weird sounds weird to say 88
• 20:46
  years old but he was like he's out traveling the you know he
• 20:49
  didn't he didn't stop 1 lick during lock the lockdown.
• 20:51
  He was out traveling going to Florida.
• 20:53
  We're in. We're in Michigan here.
• 20:54
  So he was just out, you know, cruising, doing whatever.
• 20:56
  And I used didn't stop 1 lick and it's a good thing he didn't
• 21:00
  because he's only lived, you know, you were too late more and
• 21:03
  but he was, you know, healthy as a horse.
• 21:05
  He was 62, probably 190 pounds. Like he's dancing, still going
• 21:09
  to dance class and doing all the stuff.
• 21:11
  My point was saying all this is that, you know, you never know
• 21:16
  what you're you're given and how much time you're given.
• 21:19
  But also what really hit me though was thinking about the,
• 21:23
  again, a biblical verse of, you know, from dust you came to dust
• 21:26
  you shall return. And it's one of the most
• 21:29
  humbling, you know, phrases or verses you can you can ever
• 21:32
  hear. Because you came into this world
• 21:34
  literally as dust is nothing and you you will go out that way and
• 21:37
  it makes you realize and put everything in this perspective
• 21:40
  of like, what am I doing and and why am I doing it and how am I
• 21:43
  doing it and how do I want to be remembered?
• 21:45
  Because you ain't taking any of it with you.
• 21:47
  There's there's nothing, there's nothing that you're taking with
• 21:49
  you. So you're not taking anything.
• 21:52
  I mean can you might argue that you're taking your Bitcoin seed
• 21:54
  phrase in your in your head if you don't give it to anybody,
• 21:57
  but you know you're not you're you're just not taking anything.
• 22:00
  So what are you doing here in this earth?
• 22:02
  What are you what are you doing to make this place better?
• 22:05
  And it's really starts to change everything you're you're doing
• 22:07
  as a human being. You start leaving this Fiat
• 22:09
  world, the sinking Fiat legacy monetary system Titanic, that's
• 22:13
  slowly slipping under the waves. And as bitcoiners, we get to,
• 22:17
  you know, we run the life raft, right?
• 22:19
  Everyone's on the Titanic still arguing with you and yelling at
• 22:22
  you. You know, saying how all those
• 22:24
  seas are about to get out of that Bitcoin life raft.
• 22:26
  Yeah. Look at those dangerous seas
• 22:28
  you're entering. And you're like, guys, I'm
• 22:30
  backing away from this ship and it's going down and these people
• 22:33
  are arguing and saying it's not going down.
• 22:34
  What are you talking about? It's U.S. dollar.
• 22:36
  You know how strong this thing is.
• 22:37
  You know, many aircraft carriers we have, you know, you know this
• 22:40
  thing is backed by oil, right. And they're just arguing and
• 22:42
  arguing and it's I go back to staying humble and and like you
• 22:45
  said the Billboard staying humble and stack stacks hats
• 22:48
  it's it's the truest thing and and again we're human so we can
• 22:50
  tend to get toxic at times or we can tend to want to rub it in
• 22:53
  people's faces or we can you know the winds because the winds
• 22:56
  keep stacking up for bitcoins. If anyone's looked around lately
• 22:58
  in the world and what's going on whether it's the the president
• 23:01
  you know the United States has or the people running for office
• 23:04
  or things that are going on around the world.
• 23:07
  Domino's falling or whatever it is.
• 23:09
  I mean there's there's wins that keep stacking up for Bitcoiners
• 23:11
  like every day. I mean every day.
• 23:13
  I mean I think the last like month or two your guys show has
• 23:15
  just been like wins like Bitcoin, massive Bitcoin wins,
• 23:18
  like every single day the title of the show is like another win
• 23:21
  and it's just like holy cow, like what's going on And that's
• 23:23
  just continuing to speed up. So it's it's how can we show up
• 23:27
  as the best version of ourselves as possible because yes, at the
• 23:29
  end of the day being toxic, you know unpopular opinions not
• 23:33
  going to get like the average Normie to come in and and come
• 23:36
  into the Bitcoin network. It's just not because most
• 23:39
  people, like we said, the 97% outside of the 3%, the 3% you
• 23:42
  can be toxic with. It's kind of like a locker room
• 23:44
  attitude, whether it's guys or gals, they're, you know, might
• 23:47
  be a little more abrasive, There may be more alpha people and
• 23:50
  maybe have some more testosterone in them.
• 23:52
  Whatever it is, whatever you want to, however you want to
• 23:53
  define it. Well, those people can tend to
• 23:55
  be a little more abrasive a little more locker room ask and
• 23:58
  and that's fine. But the other 97%, they don't.
• 24:01
  They want to be talked down to or like they don't want to like
• 24:03
  be jabbing, you know each other trading barbs and things like
• 24:06
  that. They're not into that and
• 24:07
  they're not they're never going to be that way.
• 24:09
  So that's where again as bitcoins we have to everyone has
• 24:13
  their place in orange. Peeling the world and in in and
• 24:16
  doing it in a different way showing up as a person you want
• 24:19
  to be. You know I've seen it here too
• 24:21
  you know hydrate obviously take care of yourself touch some
• 24:23
  grass things like that be present be humble.
• 24:25
  And and that's how we're going to attract the most amount of
• 24:27
  people the fastest because at the end of the day in wrapping
• 24:31
  this up I think truly I want to speed up adoption.
• 24:35
  It's not to like gain more person power that's great and
• 24:37
  all like that's a side benefit. But to me it's like I want to
• 24:40
  minimize collateral damage. Again I have four young children
• 24:42
  like I don't want it's the joke I I I've said many times too and
• 24:45
  simply where it's I don't want to be living in back the future
• 24:50
  too when it's bit tanner's pleasure paradise and you're
• 24:52
  like going to the gas station to get gas and you have a shotgun
• 24:55
  you're sitting in the front and see with a shotgun a 12 gauge
• 24:58
  that's not going to be a fun world to live in but that's a
• 25:00
  world we we can make for ourselves as human beings if
• 25:02
  we're not careful and and we're not we're we're being ridiculous
• 25:05
  about things or we're not taking things seriously or not putting
• 25:08
  ourselves out there quite quite honestly And that that's why I
• 25:10
  put myself out there like I'm an introverted person I'm I'm a
• 25:12
  quiet person by nature I'm introverted.
• 25:14
  I was like in hockey growing up I was I was captains of my teams
• 25:18
  always throughout the years and I just love by example I was
• 25:20
  like go put my head down go to work and lead by example.
• 25:23
  I didn't open my mouth too much, but now it's like that things
• 25:26
  change. I had, you know, the business,
• 25:27
  you have to do that more. But also like, hey, I've got a
• 25:29
  family to take care of and I don't want them to live in this
• 25:31
  world that's literally going to hell in a handbasket.
• 25:34
  And that's very obvious to anyone who's paying attention.
• 25:37
  And. And that's where if I can do
• 25:39
  something a little bit and change one person a day or one
• 25:42
  person a week, then that's one last person.
• 25:44
  That's going to create havoc or chaos in the future for me or
• 25:48
  for my children or for my family or my friends or the people
• 25:51
  around me. Because that's the biggest
• 25:52
  thing. Like, you can have all the
• 25:53
  Bitcoin in the world or you can have whatever, whatever you
• 25:56
  want. But again, if the world's on
• 25:58
  fire all around you and everything's blown up, then it's
• 26:01
  not going to matter, unfortunately.
• 26:03
  And that's that's this chasm, this, this gap we're trying to
• 26:06
  bridge somehow. And that's I think the one of
• 26:09
  the biggest things we have to kind of get through to our side.
• 26:12
  I think the backside of that is unbelievable.
• 26:14
  It's unbelievably prosperous, abundant.
• 26:16
  I have great, great hope and that's what does keep me very
• 26:19
  hopeful. But we do have to get through
• 26:20
  this, this interim period here maybe over the next year or two,
• 26:23
  the next couple years, this decade where what's going to
• 26:26
  happen? Are are enough people going to
• 26:27
  show up or are 3% going to show up and and and help the world
• 26:30
  move across this rickety old bridge one person at a time
• 26:33
  because we can't all cram out into it at the same time
• 26:35
  necessarily. We got to get over this bridge
• 26:37
  somehow and the 3% have to show up to be able to help people
• 26:40
  across that bridge. Man I love that metaphor right
• 26:44
  there and I'm getting I'm getting chills over here bro.
• 26:47
  Thank you Brandon and and lately I've I've been asking myself the
• 26:51
  same question you know like remember you are going to die
• 26:54
  like this is uncontentious you're you're not going to live
• 26:57
  forever And as as a young also kid who was you know team
• 27:02
  captain of my sports team I always felt invincible and
• 27:04
  recently. You know, I'm having that face
• 27:07
  yourself in the mirror moment and asking myself, like, have I
• 27:10
  put everything on the table? Have I left no stone unturned?
• 27:13
  Am I giving in my all because I am going to die and and if I'm
• 27:17
  being honest, I'm like, now I can do more.
• 27:19
  I can continue to do more and you know, like I'm not done and
• 27:23
  every morning I'm just waking up like.
• 27:26
  I have another day to continue to do good stuff.
• 27:29
  And then a little side tangent and then I'm gonna tee you up
• 27:31
  again. Bitcoiners are bad at marketing.
• 27:34
  I think this is uncontentious at this point because we have the
• 27:36
  best money in the world and yet everyone still yells at norm.
• 27:39
  He's like, you're an idiot. OK, I digress.
• 27:41
  I digress. You said something earlier and I
• 27:46
  did title the show today. Freedom isn't free.
• 27:48
  And you said. And I love the way you keep
• 27:51
  saying this and you say it all the time in space as well.
• 27:53
  Like pick up your cross. And so I'm going to, I'm going
• 27:56
  to connect two two thoughts here, Brandon.
• 27:58
  First, obviously the idea of freedom isn't free.
• 28:02
  It's going to take work. It's going to take hard work.
• 28:04
  And we are Americans. We are America first.
• 28:07
  I want to see America prosper. I do not want to leave.
• 28:10
  I'm a first generation America. I love my American.
• 28:12
  I love my home. I think America is the greatest
• 28:15
  country in the world. As you can tell, I have a great
• 28:17
  English accent because I don't even speak my own mother
• 28:19
  language. But that's besides the point.
• 28:21
  Like I am an American and Nico and I.
• 28:25
  Kind of joke about this all the time and Nico, more Nico than me
• 28:28
  on the idea of if America gets worse are we going to have to go
• 28:32
  to El Salvador. And I'm always like pushing back
• 28:35
  and I'm like bro, like to me it starts to feel like I'm being a
• 28:39
  coward by picking up and running.
• 28:41
  And it's back to this idea of like freedom isn't free.
• 28:44
  And I think it's going to take the same amount of of true
• 28:49
  Americans, true Bitcoin believers.
• 28:52
  To be like no, I am not fucking leaving.
• 28:55
  Sorry to cuss because but this is how I feel like I'm stating
• 28:59
  staying. I'm fighting.
• 29:00
  This is my country. I'm not going to let the
• 29:02
  unproductive parasite class take the land that was given to us.
• 29:07
  And and and you have a lot of great quotes from the past
• 29:09
  what's the I forget which one it is.
• 29:11
  But something on the lines of If Americans aren't vigilant, they
• 29:16
  will wake up in a land. They will wake up for you in the
• 29:20
  land that their fathers fought for or whatever.
• 29:23
  He's the old Thomas Jefferson quote.
• 29:24
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:25
  And I forget it now. But you paraphrase it pretty
• 29:28
  well. It's.
• 29:29
  Yeah, if they're not careful. I think it might have to do with
• 29:31
  private bankers, actually. And if they let the private
• 29:33
  banking system build up around them, then they'll wake up one
• 29:36
  day, basically servants on the land their forefathers, you
• 29:39
  know, conquered. So yeah.
• 29:41
  And it's it's and then the play DoH.
• 29:43
  One we always thought about too, right.
• 29:44
  If you're not involved in politics or if you're not, you
• 29:46
  know, in your local community and understanding what's going
• 29:49
  on, you will be governed by your inferiors.
• 29:51
  And there's all this wisdom of the past.
• 29:53
  We just, we tend not to. We just, we don't heat it.
• 29:55
  We talked about earlier. I mean there's there's degrees
• 29:57
  now in America. You don't even have to take
• 30:00
  history. There's history degrees now in
• 30:02
  America. At colleges, certain colleges.
• 30:04
  You don't even have to take history class in order to get
• 30:06
  the degree. So it just shows you the the
• 30:08
  fundamental problems we have with the money obviously follow
• 30:12
  the money and in the schooling system and you mentioned this I
• 30:15
  mean so leaving you know this is, this is a really big subject
• 30:19
  the brain drain. You know that's a real thing.
• 30:21
  Like I I grew up in Michigan and Detroit is an unbelievable
• 30:25
  example. The biggest city in the world
• 30:27
  you know 75 years ago and it's it's it's non existent you know
• 30:32
  like there it's been built up and it it's coming back in the
• 30:35
  downtown's beautiful now and things like that.
• 30:37
  But there's like a ring around there that's still just barren
• 30:40
  and and and desolate and it's went from the biggest city in
• 30:44
  the world to all of a sudden you start having you know people
• 30:47
  that don't have freedom on their mind running the the the city
• 30:51
  the you know the money is breaking and the the the
• 30:53
  corporations are are doing things they shouldn't be doing
• 30:56
  And so people are leaving like I'm out of here.
• 30:58
  Well, that brain drain, it could happen in a city or happen in a
• 31:01
  state, which it happens a lot of states, as we've seen over the
• 31:03
  last special last few years. And it can happen to countries.
• 31:06
  And that's that is a very real thing, a very scary thing that
• 31:09
  we have to be very cognizant of. I think about Kiyosaki, Robert
• 31:13
  Kiyosaki talking about a story about one of his roommates at
• 31:16
  the Merchant Marine Academy and he was Jewish and he just, you
• 31:21
  know, said, hey, like what? What happened to your, you know,
• 31:24
  to your family? Like how do you get over here?
• 31:25
  It's like, Oh yeah, well, my family, we know we're Jewish and
• 31:27
  we live in Germany and or you know, it's him, his grand.
• 31:30
  It must have been. Yeah, it was him and his
• 31:32
  parents. So it would be like our
• 31:33
  grandparents in essence. And he was like, yeah, well, we
• 31:36
  all, we end up leaving. We can see what Hitler was doing
• 31:38
  And he was, you know, it's like it was getting really crazy over
• 31:40
  there in the early to mid 30s. And then he was just like, well,
• 31:44
  you know, it's OK. So you guys came over.
• 31:46
  Yeah. We decided like, hey, we're not
• 31:48
  we're coming over. Like we're we're leaving here.
• 31:49
  We're getting out of here. But people there were like, oh,
• 31:51
  no, he's going to change. If things are going to change,
• 31:54
  like, he'll figure, like, well, he'll figure it out.
• 31:56
  It's not going to be this crazy for that long.
• 31:57
  And ba, ba, ba. And then he just asked me, he's
• 31:59
  like, so your family came over and then what happened to
• 32:02
  everyone else? He's like, oh, everyone else
• 32:03
  that stayed. They ended up in in
• 32:04
  concentration camps. And it just, it was like an
• 32:07
  alarming like he didn't expect it to abruptly kind of end like
• 32:11
  that. But it gives you and and all of
• 32:14
  our forefathers, right. Your, your family and all of our
• 32:18
  ancestors did the same thing. They were running from very
• 32:21
  similar things. And so I say all this because I
• 32:25
  felt very, you know, I'm very patriarch.
• 32:27
  My entire life I'd never served in the military.
• 32:29
  I always felt guilty that I did not.
• 32:31
  I wanted to be a Navy SEAL and a fighter pilot my entire life.
• 32:34
  And I ended up playing hockey and that was my thing.
• 32:36
  And my goal was to play for the US national team and I played
• 32:39
  for the under 17 and under 18 U.S.
• 32:42
  National team. So I wore the jersey, you know,
• 32:44
  I wore the sweater, the Crest and and the flag on on my you
• 32:47
  know it's what my one of my be a prized you know highlights my
• 32:52
  life Like that's something that makes me very proud.
• 32:55
  But at the same time I know now later on in life like my
• 33:00
  military like wanting to do that.
• 33:01
  I honestly don't know if I could anymore and I have utmost
• 33:04
  respect for people that do that. I have so many friends that are
• 33:07
  in the military but I don't know if I I could go in voluntarily
• 33:12
  and and do that job anymore and I wanted to my entire life.
• 33:15
  So that would last like five years of understanding Bitcoin
• 33:18
  and understanding the world at this level.
• 33:20
  It's like the most humbling like transition I've ever gone
• 33:22
  through my life and it it's like it makes me emotional because
• 33:25
  I'm like wow, I I don't even know how I was that way growing
• 33:30
  up almost and seeing such a different side of things and and
• 33:33
  so that's a very real thing that you brought up.
• 33:36
  And it's it's something that digs deep into my core being
• 33:40
  someone who always prided himself in the Constitution.
• 33:43
  Things that nature all the way up through hearing these
• 33:45
  stories. Like I just told about Kiyosaki
• 33:47
  and then playing for the US national team and and saying hey
• 33:50
  this is I'm not you know but I I'm going to be really.
• 33:52
  I thought of it too and I thought what are contingency
• 33:54
  plans like do do will we like you said with Nico do we have to
• 33:58
  move to El Salvador someday like what's going to happen And
• 34:00
  that's that's not something as a as a Bitcoin or someone who's
• 34:03
  humble enough to say hey again I need to lay down my my life
• 34:07
  sometimes to pick up my cross and what is the truth like what
• 34:10
  do I truly need to do. Yeah.
• 34:11
  I mean part of me is as a fighter is is hey I'm not going
• 34:15
  to leave. I will fight it out here.
• 34:16
  I'll go down swinging. So that's generally how I am and
• 34:20
  probably what will end up happening because I'm a little
• 34:22
  bit stubborn as well and hopefully it doesn't get to that
• 34:24
  point. But that's something that if
• 34:26
  you're alive at all and thinking person at all, that's something
• 34:31
  that definitely has gone through your head.
• 34:32
  And I think most Bitcoin has probably thought of that because
• 34:34
  it it is something that's very real and you have to kind of
• 34:37
  assess what is going on. I think the one big difference
• 34:40
  though, and I'll kind of end this with with this is we have
• 34:43
  different, you know, forms of protection here fortunately that
• 34:46
  the the Jewish people like like the example I gave didn't have
• 34:50
  right or that was taken away from them.
• 34:52
  And again we go back to you know being a self selector and and
• 34:56
  saying Oh yeah, here government here's my gold, you know, Oh
• 34:59
  yeah, here, here's my, here's my Bitcoin or hey yeah, here is
• 35:02
  this like take it from me or like I'm self selecting.
• 35:04
  I'm just going to give it to you.
• 35:05
  And like, you're just a number in the system.
• 35:07
  I think that's where more people.
• 35:09
  Because all this is psychological.
• 35:10
  Everything is psychological. Money is psychological.
• 35:13
  All these things are psychological.
• 35:14
  And this is where the lockdowns of people would have just stood
• 35:16
  up. 3% of people would have stood up.
• 35:17
  Instead of three people, you know, like we.
• 35:20
  There's a few business owners in the entire state of Michigan.
• 35:22
  I think that stood up three. That's it.
• 35:24
  But if 3% of the people stood up, boom.
• 35:27
  It's completely different game changer.
• 35:28
  It's there's no lockdowns happening.
• 35:30
  There's nothing happening. 3% is all you need.
• 35:33
  That's, you know, whatever. There's 10 million people in
• 35:35
  Michigan or maybe a little less. That's, you know, whatever that
• 35:37
  is, 300,000 people or, you know, whatever that is, 30,000 people.
• 35:40
  Can you imagine 30,000 people standing up and like, Oh yeah,
• 35:42
  so you're not doing that game over.
• 35:45
  So I think that kind of, you know, answers some of that.
• 35:47
  But I think this is, it's a big question people need to ask
• 35:49
  themselves if, hey, if I don't want to run from country to
• 35:52
  country every couple generations, and we probably
• 35:54
  should stand up and and let the government know.
• 35:57
  No, you work at the consent of us, just like our funding
• 35:59
  document said, you work at the consent of the governed, not the
• 36:02
  other way around. Love it and and of course guys
• 36:08
  you know we we are getting American centric US centric here
• 36:11
  but Bitcoin is a global phenomenon and I heard this
• 36:15
  saying one time and and you can correct me if I'm wrong Brandon
• 36:18
  but someone said you know everyone knows the saying like.
• 36:23
  American is apple pie. And then someone told me he's
• 36:25
  like, yeah, well apple pie was made in France.
• 36:28
  So like that's part of the American ideals of you just coop
• 36:33
  things and then like this is mine now.
• 36:35
  But as we know, you know Bitcoin does allow us to have the the
• 36:40
  right to vote with our feet and our money.
• 36:42
  It it's it's the ultimate form of voting, obviously, as the
• 36:47
  saying goes with your pocketbook, but also because you
• 36:49
  can literally take up your wealth and go anywhere around
• 36:51
  the world like. I think we can have both these
• 36:55
  ideas where we understand that Bitcoin does give us this, this
• 36:59
  new found freedom. You know, living the sovereign
• 37:01
  individual thesis like this is happening in real time and there
• 37:03
  will be people that that go to better jurisdictions.
• 37:07
  But I also feel like Bitcoin has enabled the globe to have the
• 37:13
  same ideals of freedom that the American Founding fathers wish
• 37:17
  for our country. And now everyone has that power
• 37:21
  or that choice or that ability to be like, no, I am sticking to
• 37:26
  my roots and you can't fucking rob me anymore.
• 37:29
  You can't take my wealth anymore.
• 37:31
  You know, back it up with with not every country has the 1A or
• 37:35
  the 2A, but in America we do. And it's like come and take it.
• 37:39
  It's that it's that mentality of I am a free and sovereign
• 37:43
  individual no matter where I go on planet Earth because of
• 37:46
  Bitcoin. And if I so choose to pick up
• 37:49
  roots here then hopefully I will be surrounded by other people
• 37:52
  that also believe in the same thing.
• 37:54
  And and that's again back to building a community around you.
• 37:58
  Because I I really do believe that Bitcoin is exporting the
• 38:01
  ideas of America. Private property freedom,
• 38:04
  freedom of speech. Freedom of transaction, freedom
• 38:07
  of association to the whole world.
• 38:10
  Because no longer are we being robbed by a money and and that
• 38:13
  like, I don't know about you, but.
• 38:16
  Like I'm not I I I'm not the most patriotic, but I just love
• 38:19
  my home and if I can use Bitcoin to not only stay where I love
• 38:25
  but also help my family transition in this great
• 38:29
  transition. Because we all know you know
• 38:31
  FiOS is sinking ship. We don't know when it's going
• 38:33
  down but we know it is going down and not everyone wants to
• 38:37
  store in hard ass. It's like.
• 38:39
  You know real estate or gold or something like that.
• 38:42
  Maybe they want something ephemeral that they can
• 38:45
  literally just pick up and go if they ever had to.
• 38:48
  And I think having these plan B's in the back of your head,
• 38:51
  it's like you're you're you're battling two thoughts.
• 38:53
  One's like, I don't want to leave.
• 38:55
  I never want to leave. But also if shit really did hit
• 38:58
  the fan and things got absolutely crazy, at least we
• 39:01
  know that we have those abilities.
• 39:02
  So I'm I'm still like it's hard to weigh both of these these
• 39:07
  ideas at the same time because I.
• 39:09
  I don't want to leave here. I love here.
• 39:11
  I think we have the best country in the world.
• 39:12
  But also now we've exported this.
• 39:15
  Or rather, Satoshi Nakamoto exported this.
• 39:17
  Maybe a Japanese man, or maybe he's not Japanese, Maybe he's in
• 39:21
  from the UK, who knows? But he's exported these ideas to
• 39:24
  everyone and gave everyone that ability free to all of humanity.
• 39:28
  And what more is the American idea?
• 39:33
  Than giving freedom to everyone that is a part of this nation.
• 39:37
  And now it's just anyone that's a part of this money, the
• 39:40
  digital money, the digital ecosystem.
• 39:42
  And it's just like, I don't know, man, I'm getting, I'm
• 39:44
  getting hyped and patriotic all at the same time, but also, like
• 39:47
  on some cliche, like a citizen of the globe, you know what's
• 39:52
  what's that one movie like saving Sarah Marshall or
• 39:55
  whatever. But anyway, I totally digress.
• 39:57
  I totally digress. But all right.
• 40:00
  Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:01
  Yeah, let's let's transition a little bit.
• 40:04
  You did say this earlier and Foss says it all the time, you
• 40:07
  know, hashtag for the kids. I don't have kids yet, but I do
• 40:12
  look at the world and I really, you know, God willing, want a
• 40:14
  family. I want kids.
• 40:16
  And I look at the world and it's it's, you know, as millennial I
• 40:20
  I do come from from the West Coast.
• 40:22
  And I know a lot of people that have like that progressive
• 40:25
  thought of how can you have kids and how could you bring children
• 40:29
  into such a messed up world like today.
• 40:32
  And it just always felt like defeatist.
• 40:34
  Like you're just a defeatist. It's like I want to leave a
• 40:37
  better world. I'm going to do whatever I can
• 40:39
  to live a better world. And yes I'm a flawed individual
• 40:41
  but I'm still doing my best to improve the world.
• 40:45
  You know live by principles and truth and and and not be a
• 40:48
  corrupt asshole and steal from people.
• 40:51
  Like we've been stolen from our future has been stolen from it.
• 40:54
  And and I think, and I know you have this same energy, what
• 40:58
  we're doing here is trying to course correct humanity for the
• 41:01
  better by obviously empowering ourselves and our family and our
• 41:05
  friends. And if we all do this, then
• 41:09
  humanity can get back on course to what was taken from us.
• 41:13
  And this is what we're doing. Like it's for the kids, whether
• 41:16
  you have them or not. It's about leaving a better
• 41:18
  world, about leaving a legacy that we can be proud of.
• 41:20
  I really do think we are living in the dark ages right now.
• 41:22
  Like, it's the best time to be a human, but it's also probably
• 41:27
  one of the most confusing and just downright, I don't know,
• 41:33
  destructive, self-destructive moments in humanity, but what's
• 41:36
  your thoughts on this brand? It's for the kids.
• 41:39
  It is. I mean it's, you know, I for all
• 41:43
  those who can have children, not everyone can have children,
• 41:45
  right. And and there are that's very
• 41:47
  real. You know but find someone you
• 41:50
  you love and that's that's the the person you're supposed to be
• 41:52
  with. And I and I promised you it's a
• 41:54
  lot easier to have children. That's the words of of advice.
• 41:59
  Because you you, truly you do you.
• 42:01
  When you find someone you love, you find your other half you.
• 42:04
  You want to have children with that person.
• 42:05
  And you know, I you can't extrapolate this out to
• 42:09
  everybody but man, I know so many people who.
• 42:12
  Who really honestly got married because they are like we're
• 42:16
  together for like 8 years, five years, 10 years.
• 42:19
  And I guess that's the next step.
• 42:20
  That's not, that's not what it's about.
• 42:22
  You know, like that's not, that's not how life is supposed
• 42:24
  to be. You know, you're supposed to
• 42:26
  find something that makes you better and that is your your
• 42:29
  other half. And I've seen that with so many
• 42:31
  friends, family, and I know a lot of people now in the early
• 42:33
  30s, mid late 30s are already divorced because of that.
• 42:37
  And and that's it's it's just that's a fact of life.
• 42:40
  It's sad. It's it's a reality we live in
• 42:41
  now. And it's because people you
• 42:43
  know, broke the money, quite honestly.
• 42:45
  I mean let's be real. Why are we here?
• 42:46
  Like you kind of just mentioned that you mean it's because the
• 42:48
  money is broken and we're trying to fix the money and course
• 42:50
  correct humanity. Because people feel like they
• 42:51
  can't get married. They have to wait because they
• 42:53
  want to do you know have money saved up and then they can't
• 42:57
  have kids because they want to save up and then they can't have
• 42:59
  kids at all. You know.
• 43:00
  Or then they're too old to have kids or whatever it is.
• 43:01
  And it's just it's the saddest thing that we're we're going
• 43:04
  through. And and quite honestly, again,
• 43:05
  this is. Maybe not the time or place to
• 43:07
  go down this road, but it's the the destruction of the nuclear
• 43:10
  family and the generational family, right?
• 43:12
  I mean, for thousands of years we lived generationally with our
• 43:16
  not only our parents and our siblings, but also our aunts and
• 43:19
  uncles, maybe our grandparents. And you learned how to be a man
• 43:22
  or you learn how to be a woman from those people.
• 43:24
  And now it's just gone. I mean, like now it's like, I
• 43:26
  don't, I don't know how to be a man or woman because I didn't
• 43:28
  have anyone to teach me that thing, how to do all that.
• 43:31
  And that's that's just a fundamental cracks in the
• 43:34
  foundation of life. And then we wonder why are why
• 43:36
  are all these entitlements around?
• 43:38
  How come no one has any accountability or responsibility
• 43:40
  in their life? Well, why do you think?
• 43:42
  So the thing, the thing I can't stand is like so much of society
• 43:45
  is just putting bandaids on bullet holes.
• 43:47
  It's just we're like a mile down the river is an oil spill up the
• 43:50
  river. And we're all down here at the
• 43:52
  with a huge net trying to like get oil and siphon it out of the
• 43:55
  river instead of just going up to the to the plant and just
• 43:58
  fixing the oil spill there. And then we clean and then the
• 44:00
  river cleans itself right. And we just as society
• 44:02
  constantly are trying to do that.
• 44:04
  It's the government being arson, the firefighter making these
• 44:07
  mistakes purposely, probably a lot of times, and then we've got
• 44:10
  a solution for it. It's just you know 6 pack abs or
• 44:13
  constant trying to do these things and a lot of it sped up
• 44:15
  time preference and high tide preference because of the broken
• 44:18
  money. So it's making us feel like we
• 44:20
  can't do these things but and having four kids that you do see
• 44:25
  what life's all about in the day.
• 44:26
  Like we said we keep talking about picking up your cross the
• 44:28
  lane down your life. You you realize what it's all
• 44:30
  about and you realize it the end of the day that is the next
• 44:33
  generation, right? That is humanity that's going
• 44:35
  forward and you realize that is your your mission in life.
• 44:38
  Is to, you know, if you can't have children but have children
• 44:40
  and and they are the ones, they're the new warriors,
• 44:43
  they're the new people that are going to extrapolate this out
• 44:46
  and and bring this on and you really start to see life in a in
• 44:49
  a in a completely different level.
• 44:51
  So I think that to me is is something that I know is one of
• 44:55
  my missions, like I said, it's we're I'm going to be probably
• 44:58
  taping some of the stuff and doing little lessons with them
• 45:00
  and then probably putting that out there because this again in
• 45:03
  a different realm. But there's such a little
• 45:05
  children's education out there. The school system's completely
• 45:07
  broken there. You know, we're doing stuff with
• 45:09
  Bitcoin trading cards, which is great, but even from like the,
• 45:12
  you know, two years old to up to like 6 years old.
• 45:14
  It's doing things that total twins are doing some stuff
• 45:16
  obviously with some books but like there's so much such a gap
• 45:19
  of and they're so impressionable at that age and they can learn
• 45:22
  so much and that is the future. And again we we mentioned that
• 45:26
  the guy from Germany in the 30s and he he knew, he talked about
• 45:29
  it. You control the youth.
• 45:30
  You control the future. Well, why are we letting evil
• 45:32
  people do it? Why aren't we?
• 45:33
  Why aren't why aren't good people taking that and saying
• 45:36
  hey, what are we doing here? We just have.
• 45:38
  You know, basically Marxist and communist running the school
• 45:41
  systems for for decades. Really.
• 45:43
  Really for Dang, your 100 years, the Frankfort School coming over
• 45:46
  to Columbia and then starting to indoctrinate the teachers and
• 45:49
  the kids. And then for 100 years we've had
• 45:51
  this movement towards collectivism and in rooting out
• 45:55
  of the family of the generational family, that
• 45:57
  nuclear family. And it's been, it's been a
• 45:58
  systematic effort. I mean it's there's a lot of the
• 46:01
  stuff we have here we talked about all the time.
• 46:02
  I shared mine simply. You know that.
• 46:04
  We got the books sitting right here.
• 46:05
  Ironically, you know the Capitalist Manifesto, Naked
• 46:07
  Communist goes through all the goals, goes to the 45 goals they
• 46:10
  had from 100 years ago to and they read them into Congress.
• 46:14
  Those are read into Congress in like the late 50s.
• 46:16
  The 45 goals of what they're going to do to destroy America
• 46:19
  from the inside, we have like I think they say we have 44 of
• 46:22
  them. So not only 45.
• 46:23
  So we're safe for now. But they have 44 of their goals
• 46:26
  have been already, you know, successfully done here in
• 46:30
  America. And then we wonder why we have
• 46:31
  the problems we have so. It's again for ears that want to
• 46:34
  hear, for eyes that want to see. The information's there.
• 46:36
  The answers are there is just, again, it's getting to that 3%
• 46:39
  of people that do want it. I know a lot of people that are
• 46:42
  bitcoiners, they just don't know it yet.
• 46:43
  But Orange put a lot of people fortunately over the last number
• 46:46
  of years. But there's still a ton of
• 46:47
  people I'm I'm after and they're huge bitcoiners.
• 46:50
  They just don't know it yet. And so we're going to get there,
• 46:52
  rank it to that 3% in the next few years for sure.
• 46:54
  Absolutely love it. Yeah, a few.
• 46:56
  A few points and then I'll pass it back to you.
• 46:58
  First off, at the very end you reminded me of that Yuri
• 47:03
  Bezmanov clip that always makes around on Twitter every once in
• 47:06
  a while about talking about, you know the brainwashing via the
• 47:09
  collectivist. And all they take is like 3
• 47:11
  generations and they'll your, you know your society crumbles.
• 47:15
  I highly recommend everyone go watch that I I forget what it's
• 47:17
  called but just type in Yuri Bezmanov on on YouTube and yeah
• 47:22
  in the 80s XK GB, I don't know propagandist or whatever you
• 47:28
  want to call him agent. And he literally lays is out the
• 47:31
  plan and looking in hindsight it really, it really is mind
• 47:35
  blowing and then also connecting it with what we're seeing in
• 47:39
  time like in in society today. It's like wow we they really did
• 47:44
  what they said they were going to do And and everyone is still
• 47:47
  oblivious to it and you're just like wow this is really, you
• 47:51
  know, a cultural war going on and they really are coming after
• 47:54
  the kids. And and you know this is part of
• 47:58
  where like recently, you know, I've, I've, I've said this
• 48:01
  before on various podcasts but I was very nihilistic.
• 48:05
  I had no goals before I found Bitcoin.
• 48:08
  And ever since I found Bitcoin it's really been my North star
• 48:11
  to be a better person, be a better man, be someone that can
• 48:15
  actually, you know be an example in my community.
• 48:18
  And and part of that now is like all right I need to grow up.
• 48:22
  You know, I need to I need to find a wife and some kids And my
• 48:25
  friend Joe Rogers, I go hang out with him every once in a while
• 48:29
  and you know go hang out with him and his family and the wife
• 48:33
  and I I just absolutely love just seeing Joe interact with
• 48:37
  his kids because he always says it like constantly with me.
• 48:41
  He's I don't know if you guys know Joe Rogers but he works for
• 48:44
  Bitcoin magazine. The physical scenes, you know
• 48:46
  these ones, he he's the one designing this over here, like
• 48:49
  the editor and he always talks about the memetic war going on,
• 48:56
  you know, the guerrilla memetic war that we are finding
• 48:59
  ourselves a part of. I say in jest but very
• 49:01
  seriously. We found ourselves in a trillion
• 49:04
  dollar sign up campaign and you are on the frontline.
• 49:06
  So welcome to the war boys and girls.
• 49:09
  It's a memetic war, it's an information war.
• 49:11
  But he always says the same thing because this is all we do.
• 49:13
  We just conversation about like memetics and you know talk shop
• 49:16
  and stuff. And he always tells me the same
• 49:19
  thing. He's like the best way to
• 49:21
  propagate the memes is by propagating the memes.
• 49:24
  And what he means by that is what I say and just all the time
• 49:27
  as well, is like the best way to create Bitcoin is by literally
• 49:30
  creating bitcoiners and starting with the kids and and society
• 49:35
  will figure its way out. As long as you are that shining
• 49:38
  example of what it means to be an awesome human, a bitcoiner,
• 49:42
  and your kids will grow up in a world that is Bitcoin only.
• 49:45
  And it's just it's absolutely amazing that this is where we
• 49:48
  are right now. You know, there's kids out there
• 49:50
  that have only lived in the Bitcoin world.
• 49:52
  And then circling back a little bit, Brandon, you said maybe
• 49:57
  this isn't the rabbit hole we want to go down, but it has been
• 50:01
  very I think thoroughly exposed and shown the connection and the
• 50:06
  statistics regarding relationships, divorce, single
• 50:09
  family homes and them directly correlated with Fiat currencies
• 50:13
  since 1971 like that. I don't think this is
• 50:16
  uncontentious. I know we try to avoid the
• 50:18
  conspiracy theory talks because it makes you sound loony.
• 50:22
  But I think if you connect the data, connect the dots, you can,
• 50:26
  you can very clearly show that ever since Fiat currencies have
• 50:30
  been propagated in society, that the nuclear family structure has
• 50:34
  been destroyed, and I would argue to the detriment of
• 50:38
  humanity. But that's a totally other
• 50:40
  tangent. We do have 10 minutes left, and
• 50:42
  I told you I wanna be mindful of your time.
• 50:44
  I know you got the kids over there.
• 50:45
  I heard them before we started. But let's circle back to the
• 50:48
  very beginning. And you talked about being a
• 50:51
  part of hockey, and I find that a lot of bitcoiners that I
• 50:57
  connect to, that I vibe to, also played sports as a kid.
• 51:01
  I I was captain of my football team and lacrosse team in high
• 51:04
  school. And I've always had this hunger
• 51:06
  to get better, to achieve for more, to just try to be the best
• 51:11
  version of myself. And it really blows my mind that
• 51:13
  a lot of people are complacent out there, that they don't have
• 51:16
  the same hunger. And I really thought it was an
• 51:18
  inherent thing in humanity. But again, maybe part of my
• 51:22
  disillusionment was like, wow, maybe not everyone has that
• 51:27
  killer mentality. Like, you know, I remember being
• 51:30
  a killer in high school playing football and and sports, and I
• 51:33
  thought everyone had this. But I think now might be a time
• 51:38
  where, Brandon, we can just talk about what that winning
• 51:41
  mentality looks like. Because I think that Bitcoin has
• 51:44
  a way of instilling the winning mentality in people.
• 51:47
  And I think people should double down on that.
• 51:49
  I I don't think we should demonize excellence.
• 51:52
  I think you should want to be the best version of yourself.
• 51:54
  You should want good things for your life.
• 51:56
  You should always strive for more.
• 51:59
  But at times I'm like, man, maybe I'm too like wishy washy
• 52:02
  philosopher woo woo. I'm like we can all be better.
• 52:05
  But I don't know. I I find like even Big Sean
• 52:08
  Harris has that same mentality of you know, he's a professional
• 52:11
  basketball player and and he's a winner man.
• 52:13
  And I and I know I see this happen with friends and they the
• 52:17
  ones that I see succeeding have that same winner killer, just
• 52:23
  badass mentality. Some might call it alpha
• 52:25
  masculinity, whatever you want to call it.
• 52:27
  But like that warrior spirit of we are in a war right now, an
• 52:33
  information war. Some might say a holy war, but
• 52:36
  we are in the midst of it, And you better prepare yourself now,
• 52:41
  as the saying goes. And Mike Hobart always says it
• 52:43
  to me. He's like, I'd much rather be.
• 52:45
  I think it's Confucius. I'd much rather be a warrior in
• 52:49
  a garden than a gardener in a war.
• 52:51
  And so this, I think it's my just PS:.
• 52:53
  A call to action of like, get that war mentality going,
• 52:57
  because I know Brandon has it. We've had these conversations in
• 53:00
  person and on spaces, and I know you have that winner's
• 53:02
  mentality. And it's really back to the same
• 53:05
  basic premises we always talk about.
• 53:07
  You know, get fit physically, mentally, spiritually log off
• 53:11
  from the Internet, go touch guilt grass, eat good food, have
• 53:15
  good relationships and, you know, avoid all the BS.
• 53:19
  It's just, it's such a simple process.
• 53:21
  It's like tunnel vision. Keep your horse blinders on on
• 53:25
  the mission, laser focused on the mission and this is how we
• 53:28
  usher in a world. Anyways, I rented Brandon T you
• 53:31
  out bro. This is beautiful and it's it's
• 53:34
  it's confidence, right. It's it's, you know, Zach, one
• 53:38
  of my buddies who I don't know if if you you might have run
• 53:41
  into him in Miami, but he is a village idiot on Twitter and he
• 53:46
  interviewed him recently as well and he talks about accepting
• 53:49
  truth, ignoring truth, and submitting to truth.
• 53:54
  And trying to find objective truth, right.
• 53:56
  But there's people that can just accept it.
• 53:57
  And it's like okay. It just says what it is.
• 53:59
  And there's people that just ignore it.
• 54:00
  And there's like, okay, I'm gonna jump off this building and
• 54:02
  I can fly. And there's people that submit
• 54:04
  to the truth. They use nature's law first
• 54:07
  principles. They use it to their advantage.
• 54:08
  And those are the the people, maybe the 3%, maybe it's people,
• 54:12
  you know, Alpha, they have a lot of testosterone, whatever it is.
• 54:15
  Like we've kind of talked about that have that mentality, but I
• 54:17
  think it's, I think it's truth, you know, I really think I come
• 54:20
  back to truth. Maybe authenticity in a way, but
• 54:22
  using your intuition, using your higher faculties.
• 54:25
  I think the one thing that again this main vein that runs for
• 54:28
  everybody that you're that you're referring to.
• 54:31
  Is that Fiat has created again, we all know this high time
• 54:35
  preference where our attention spans are shorter and shorter
• 54:37
  and we can't we don't have time to do anything of substance.
• 54:40
  It's just constantly like I'm on the I'm in the rabbit rat wheel
• 54:43
  and I'm just running I'm punching punch out.
• 54:45
  I'm so tired at the end of the day because I'm asked to do so
• 54:47
  much and because we got to get the next earnings, you know,
• 54:50
  quarterly earnings call that I just so tired and I just got to
• 54:52
  throw the game on. And then I passed out with after
• 54:54
  drinking a six pack and I wake up and do it again the next day.
• 54:58
  And the the common theme I see of of winners of of people that
• 55:03
  aren't in that world, they're questioning.
• 55:04
  Right. They're questioning everything
• 55:05
  like why? Why am I doing that?
• 55:07
  Why why am I I constantly fought with teachers in in middle
• 55:11
  school starting in middle school and then high school big time,
• 55:14
  college big time. Like why are we doing this?
• 55:16
  When are we going to make money like what this is what does that
• 55:18
  have to do with anything. And I got worse and worse in
• 55:21
  school overtime almost didn't graduate at Michigan State
• 55:23
  because I was just I was so checked out.
• 55:26
  I was like this is just. Idiotic.
• 55:27
  I mean it just made no sense. Literally taking like basket
• 55:31
  weaving or women's studies Western I don't even know what
• 55:34
  it was and it was just like there I think there's making
• 55:36
  things up and then it's like here go take this class and it
• 55:39
  was just like so nonsensical that it it's like what are we
• 55:42
  what are we doing here. But the the the big thing for
• 55:44
  winners and the people I see again that you're referring to
• 55:47
  is truth. They are.
• 55:48
  They're after truth. They're after they're after
• 55:49
  objective truth and and trying to find what that is and not
• 55:54
  being satisfied with someone just telling them.
• 55:56
  You know, hey, you know, this is what it is.
• 55:58
  Or hey, I'm going to take care of you.
• 55:59
  Or hey, I'm going to DC to do this and that.
• 56:01
  You know, it's it's constantly trying to find objective truth
• 56:05
  and then submitting to that truth.
• 56:07
  And it could be God, it could be religion, it could be whatever
• 56:10
  it is, whatever someone is trying to do, but it's trying to
• 56:13
  find that truth, nature's law and in submitting to it.
• 56:16
  And then I guess in wrapping that up, it's it's a higher
• 56:20
  faculties we have as human beings that most people we have
• 56:23
  the five senses. You know, see smell, taste,
• 56:26
  touching all that, but none of us really.
• 56:28
  And that's like the the conscious part of our brain.
• 56:31
  And I'm using Bob Proctor to like where he if anyone seen
• 56:34
  Bob, where he draws like the human head and the body.
• 56:37
  And then you split in half and your conscious is there.
• 56:40
  So everything comes into your consciousness, maybe your five
• 56:41
  senses. But then your subconscious, you
• 56:43
  kind of draws like the bottom half of your head, and that's
• 56:46
  like the filter, that's like the gate, that's the gatekeeper of
• 56:49
  what? You actually do so like someone
• 56:51
  can tell you something but most people's filter like if I tell
• 56:55
  you the earth is flat or something like that, your filter
• 56:57
  on like, you know vast majority of people are just like their
• 57:00
  filters said wrong and then they don't let it.
• 57:03
  They don't accept it into their body, right.
• 57:04
  They don't act that out that, you know.
• 57:07
  Or I can say like, hey, you know you should probably eat some
• 57:09
  protein if you want to build muscle.
• 57:11
  And most people probably be like, Oh yeah, OK, yeah, I know
• 57:13
  that makes sense. I, you know, I got, I've kind of
• 57:14
  heard that before. Cool.
• 57:15
  And then you accept it through that gatekeeper, that
• 57:17
  subconscious. And then you act it out and then
• 57:20
  you're starting to take those actions and those turn in the
• 57:22
  results. Now you have like okay.
• 57:23
  I mean it's a protein. Maybe I'm having a shake after I
• 57:25
  work out and stuff like that. So that subconscious though you
• 57:28
  have six higher faculties which I always like forget one of
• 57:32
  them. But it's imagination will
• 57:33
  reason, intuition, memory and intuition.
• 57:38
  I don't know if I said intuition, but into intuition is
• 57:41
  one of the big things. It's your gut, right?
• 57:43
  It's maybe your conscious, but it's your gut.
• 57:45
  It's your gut feeling and so few of us.
• 57:47
  Ever find those abilities one we're not taught them again.
• 57:50
  Why are we not taught these in school Again that's a for
• 57:54
  another day what the reasoning is.
• 57:56
  But we're not using those higher faculties we can't even get.
• 57:58
  We're just using the seed you know here takes touch and that's
• 58:01
  it. We don't even get to the the
• 58:03
  habits. They are the paradigms.
• 58:04
  We have this gatekeeper which the paradigm is a multitude of
• 58:08
  habit. So it's many habits built on top
• 58:10
  of each other create a paradigm. So whatever paradigm you think
• 58:13
  like, again. We get into this whole like,
• 58:15
  you'd be, like you mentioned, conspiracies.
• 58:17
  And like we joked about this year, this year's the death of
• 58:19
  conspiracies. Conspiracy theory was a term
• 58:22
  that was only first brought into like, the vernacular in after
• 58:25
  JFK was killed. And like, the newspapers are
• 58:28
  running with it to basically discredit anyone who is talking
• 58:32
  about their questioning it. And that's where, like Lyndon
• 58:34
  Johnson came in, the big secrecy act like, oh, we're going to get
• 58:36
  people that are laundering money and doing all that.
• 58:38
  That was actually one of the first.
• 58:40
  That was like the beginning of Bitcoin in a way, probably 1964,
• 58:43
  the Bank Secrecy Act and that was the KKYCAML.
• 58:47
  All that stuff started because of that.
• 58:49
  And then we took silver out of the coins.
• 58:51
  Then in 1971 was kind of a little bit not arbitrary, but
• 58:55
  that was kind of like that had to happen.
• 58:56
  You know, those things all had to happen just because of 1913.
• 58:59
  And so like all these things are in sequential order, but we have
• 59:02
  to get in touch and start understanding and being
• 59:05
  understand the gatekeeper and what's.
• 59:07
  Allowing us to act a certain way or what's controlling us or
• 59:10
  paradigms in this multitude of habits.
• 59:13
  And if we're not refining that, if we're not aware of that,
• 59:16
  we're just gonna go along like a robot, like NPC, a non playable
• 59:20
  character and we're just constantly going around and just
• 59:22
  like, well, that's what they told me to do.
• 59:23
  That's what they told me to do. See here, smell, taste, touch,
• 59:26
  and if we're not in here, in the subconscious.
• 59:28
  You're going to have a very, very hard time deciphering
• 59:31
  what's going on in the world, especially when nowadays again
• 59:32
  this is a this is a talk for maybe another TTO or something
• 59:35
  like that. But when you start understanding
• 59:37
  that all these these, there's many societies and in groups and
• 59:41
  things over the last 120 years, starting a lot of them Britain
• 59:44
  in the United States that are controlling people's thoughts
• 59:47
  like mass formation psychosis got really big here in the last
• 59:49
  few years. With Matthias Desmond, that's
• 59:52
  like the end of the road, almost like he like this started 120
• 59:55
  years ago. And in these groups and
• 59:57
  organizations, to start controlling how people thought
• 1:00:00
  about things and what people should think, how long, what
• 1:00:02
  they should look at, how long they're going to look at it.
• 1:00:04
  And then as soon as it gets burned out, we're on to the next
• 1:00:06
  thing. This is such a huge rabbit hole.
• 1:00:08
  We can go down and like literal, like facts and like documented
• 1:00:11
  papers and videos and all these things you can go into and watch
• 1:00:14
  to start understanding why people are doing the things
• 1:00:17
  they're doing and why the 97% just continually kind of go on
• 1:00:20
  to jump on the rat wheel and they don't question things.
• 1:00:23
  It's it's a process. It's 120 year process and that's
• 1:00:25
  why this fight feels so big. Bitcoin will speed this process
• 1:00:28
  up. But again, in wrapping all this
• 1:00:30
  up, that's we only need 3%. Don't let it overwhelm yourself.
• 1:00:33
  Start touching grass. Be the Billboard.
• 1:00:35
  You know, get it right, get some, get some water in you,
• 1:00:37
  build a family. And it will happen quicker than
• 1:00:39
  120 years, I'm sure you that. Had to hit the soundboard bro
• 1:00:47
  and and before we wrap up. And I'll give you one one last,
• 1:00:52
  you know, soapbox before we wrap up, but I I've been in the last
• 1:00:56
  year, so obviously since I don't know.
• 1:01:01
  I got into Bitcoin and probably before and that's how I found
• 1:01:03
  Bitcoin. I I always really relied on like
• 1:01:06
  just trusting my gut. And Nico, Nico will will vouch
• 1:01:10
  for me. We'll literally have
• 1:01:11
  conversations like what should we do bro now and we'll just
• 1:01:14
  start going like what's your intuition say and I I got him to
• 1:01:18
  basically say the same thing, you know, back and forth.
• 1:01:21
  Originally it was like yo Nico like just trust your gut.
• 1:01:24
  Like, what is your gut saying? Let's go with that.
• 1:01:26
  I don't think about it. Just go with that.
• 1:01:28
  And now I got him on the path of, like, he'll ask me, like,
• 1:01:31
  off you like, what's your intuition?
• 1:01:32
  Saying I'm like, this is what we're going, He's like, all
• 1:01:34
  right, cool, shoot it. Like, don't think about it.
• 1:01:37
  Let's go. If we mess up, well, course
• 1:01:38
  correct. But I highly recommend the same
• 1:01:41
  thing to all my friends and everyone out there.
• 1:01:43
  It's like, trust your gut. Your intuition knows a lot more
• 1:01:46
  than your logical brain does. And hey, I don't know how this
• 1:01:49
  works. All I know is that it does work.
• 1:01:51
  But before we go. I, I I just gotta just gotta hit
• 1:01:55
  people with the memes. Wrapping up today's show and
• 1:01:57
  then you can roll this one out, Brandon, But burn the ships.
• 1:02:00
  Become obsessed with the ultimate truth.
• 1:02:02
  Become obsessed with the state of your soul.
• 1:02:05
  Become the best version of yourself.
• 1:02:06
  Propagate the memes. And this is how we usher in the
• 1:02:09
  Bitcoin standard. What a rip.
• 1:02:11
  Man. I I'm sure we could do another
• 1:02:13
  three hours like we did. But Go Watch Freedom is a free
• 1:02:17
  show with Brandon Genteelly on YouTube.
• 1:02:20
  And we'll, you'll get some of this sauce.
• 1:02:23
  This is the condensed version. I try to keep these around an
• 1:02:25
  hour, but we'll have to bring you in, bro, next time.
• 1:02:28
  Next time we get revved up on something, we'll bring you in.
• 1:02:31
  But any last words? What's the last words for
• 1:02:34
  someone out there? We got, you know, people in the
• 1:02:36
  audience listening. What would be the last message
• 1:02:38
  you want to send the people off tonight with.
• 1:02:41
  Yeah I mean my my big thing is we touched on a little bit too
• 1:02:44
  is is use your intuition and and you know have faith and and
• 1:02:48
  trust trust your gut but trust that again we we've talked about
• 1:02:53
  the Bible a bit. I know not everyone is is
• 1:02:55
  religious, but you know in the Bible you know God says that
• 1:03:01
  hey, if I provide for the the birds, you know, the the least
• 1:03:05
  among you or the birds animals, do you think I'm not going to
• 1:03:07
  provide for you. And I think that that's
• 1:03:09
  something that I've seen so much in my life, not just with me,
• 1:03:13
  you know I've seen with myself and and maybe like having
• 1:03:15
  moments of of weak faith or and seeing it in other people where
• 1:03:20
  I was scared to make the jump. I was scared to do something and
• 1:03:24
  just have have faith, you know, and have faith and know that
• 1:03:27
  hey, what's the worst, what's the worst thing that's going to
• 1:03:29
  happen again. From dust we came to dust you
• 1:03:31
  shall return. You know what, Are you going to
• 1:03:33
  look back on your deathbed and think, what's that?
• 1:03:35
  The hyphen in between the two, the two dates, You know, what
• 1:03:38
  did that say? I think that's something to
• 1:03:40
  leave everybody. And that's where I know my
• 1:03:42
  mission going forward is to continue educating as many
• 1:03:44
  people as possible and doing the writing that, you know, we
• 1:03:47
  talked about and simply before. You know it's in the children's
• 1:03:49
  books some basic stuff starting with basic stuff you know A B
• 1:03:52
  C's a Bitcoin EF G's have a couple different versions of our
• 1:03:55
  you know there's a bunch of stuff to go through but starting
• 1:03:57
  with children's books and then we're ramping out with Bitcoin
• 1:04:00
  trading cards obviously and and doing a lot of that and and then
• 1:04:04
  building that up over time to educate the normies educate the
• 1:04:07
  no coins or pre coiners educate the children because that's
• 1:04:10
  that's going to be the the simplest quickest way the memes
• 1:04:14
  right. The art the mimetics and in
• 1:04:16
  getting that into the masses as quick as possible so we can have
• 1:04:19
  the least amount of collateral damage.
• 1:04:20
  So accepting truth and it's submitting to truth and, you
• 1:04:24
  know, laid on your life to pick up your cross.
• 1:04:25
  Doing, doing the right thing, right.
• 1:04:27
  And that at the end of the day, following the gut.
• 1:04:32
  Let's go. Well, we did the Rep justice.
• 1:04:35
  Brandon, I'm glad we brought you on.
• 1:04:37
  If you want to hear me and Brandon do this basically on a
• 1:04:41
  daily basis, come hang out with us on Twitter spaces.
• 1:04:43
  We do this all the time. But before, before I roll this
• 1:04:47
  out, I know this is a Bitcoin show and obviously we got a
• 1:04:52
  little philosophical, We got a little economic.
• 1:04:55
  You know, maybe we got a little conspiratorial, maybe we are
• 1:04:57
  pontificating. But I think these are the
• 1:05:00
  message that messages that more people need to hear.
• 1:05:04
  It's about the humanity of this. It's it's what we say all the
• 1:05:07
  time about winning the hearts and minds of the masses out
• 1:05:09
  there. And part of it is much more than
• 1:05:12
  just financial. Yes, fix the money, Fix the
• 1:05:15
  world is the fundamental access that everything else will get
• 1:05:19
  fixed on and we'll get balanced on.
• 1:05:22
  But a lot of times. You got to fix your mind and
• 1:05:24
  your ass will follow. And this is part of that, that
• 1:05:27
  warrior spirit, that war mentality of what are you here
• 1:05:31
  to do as a big winner? What is your ultimate end?
• 1:05:34
  Are you here to fix the world? Are you here just to get rich?
• 1:05:37
  They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
• 1:05:39
  It can be both the same. But just be honest with
• 1:05:41
  yourself. If you're here just for a Lambo,
• 1:05:44
  then you know you might get a little frustrated.
• 1:05:47
  But if you're here to usher in a better world with number, go up.
• 1:05:50
  Freedom will go up. And I think This is why I've
• 1:05:54
  committed everything to this, because I really do believe in
• 1:05:57
  the ideas of if more and more people save in Bitcoin, as
• 1:06:01
  number goes up, hard cap money, your life will improve.
• 1:06:06
  And that's what we're all here to do, is to improve your life,
• 1:06:08
  Live a good life, live a better life.
• 1:06:10
  Because the psychopaths that are in control right now are messing
• 1:06:16
  everything up. And they've done it on the backs
• 1:06:20
  of all of our labor. And they do it with your
• 1:06:23
  consent. And this is about us taking back
• 1:06:26
  that consent, about taking back our lives, taking back our
• 1:06:28
  energy, our labor, our money, and telling them to go fuck
• 1:06:32
  themselves. Anyways, Brandon, really
• 1:06:34
  appreciate this. As I said, we could probably do
• 1:06:36
  this for another hour. But guys, go follow my boy
• 1:06:39
  Brandon, under score Gentilly on Twitter, or go to his YouTube.
• 1:06:44
  Freedom is a free show and. I'm glad that we can do this,
• 1:06:48
  Brandon, chill out for like 20 seconds while I'll roll this one
• 1:06:51
  out and we'll continue to chat a little bit after the show.
• 1:06:54
  Yeah, nothing. All right guys.
• 1:06:59
