Will Colombia be the Next Country to Adopt Bitcoin? | EP 879 · Simply Bitcoin

0:06
It's. All going to zero against
0:08
Bitcoin. It's going up forever, Warren.
0:18
You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
0:23
Yeah. Welcome to Simply the Coin Live.
0:24
We're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution.
0:26
Corporating news, culture, romantic warfare.
0:28
We will be your guide through the separation of money and
0:30
state today. Speaking about the separation of
0:33
money and state. Today's one of those days Samson
0:35
Mao keeps, you know, keeps doing what he's doing.
0:38
He he, you know a couple. I think it was like this year
0:40
actually. He left Block Stream shout out
0:43
to Adam back and Co, and he took it upon himself to make it his
0:48
life mission to push forward. The nation state adoption of
0:53
Bitcoin and just breaking news I think it was the video came out
0:57
I think this morning or early last night or late last night of
1:01
which the he's with the Colombian president and the
1:04
Colombian president the names Bitcoin which is very very
1:07
interesting that whole region. I'm just so bullish on the
1:11
global S because unlike here in the West where you know, we we
1:15
adopt Bitcoin for speculative reasons or maybe ideological
1:18
reasons. I think in the global S where
1:21
people don't have the financial privilege of having a stable
1:24
Fiat currency, you know people adopt alternatives out of
1:28
necessity. Now to be fair, you're seeing a
1:30
tremendous amount of stable coin adoption, not not quite Bitcoin
1:35
adoption, but I think that's a that's a momentary measure, so
1:39
to speak. So anyways, very, very bullish
1:41
about today's episode. We're going to break it down.
1:42
We're going to talk about all that.
1:44
And today we actually have a very, very special guest.
1:47
We have Nolan, who is the. Most of The Breakup YouTube show
1:51
highly recommend it, and he's also programming Bitcoin 2024 in
1:55
Nashville, TN. I'm gonna bring up Nolan and my
1:58
legendary cohost, the one the only always optimistic optimist
2:01
fields. How you doing, Nolan?
2:04
I love life. I'm equally optimistic.
2:07
Maybe more optimistic than optimistic.
2:09
Are you guys gonna have an optimistic battle, like face
2:12
off? Well, I didn't feel I'm gonna
2:14
win. Nolan's gonna win, Nolan's gonna
2:17
win, 'cause we're gonna have a great Nolan monologue on.
2:20
On today's show, we got a sneak peek at this.
2:22
Guys and I and I, we just saw the opening and I already know
2:25
this is gonna be a great show. Yeah, it's gonna be a great,
2:28
it's gonna be such a great show that we've decided that we're
2:30
gonna, we're gonna switch up the news segment and the culture
2:34
segment. We're going to have the culture
2:35
segment first, so we can give Nolan the stage and he can talk
2:39
about a Bitcoiners guide to NPC management.
2:43
So I'm very, very, I'm looking forward to that and his work.
2:46
It's going to be a great show. No more delay, guys.
2:49
Let's rip off the Band-Aid. Let's jump straight into the
2:52
show. Let's get to the numbers.
2:55
The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
2:59
really secure? Is your seed phrase really
3:02
secure? Stamp seeds?
3:04
Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
3:06
hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
3:11
instead of just writing them on paper.
3:13
Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
3:17
Papers prone to water damage. Fire damage.
3:19
You want to put your generational wealth on one of
3:22
the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
3:25
Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
3:28
hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
3:31
aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
3:34
apart and pieces falling everywhere.
3:37
Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
3:40
produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
3:43
waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
3:45
All things that paper is. Not allowing you to huddle your
3:48
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
3:51
Stamp your seed on stamp seed. All right guys, I made it super
3:55
easy for you guys. You could scan the QR code on
3:57
the right hand side of your screen.
3:59
It'll take you directly to stamp seed website where you can use
4:01
promo code simply to get yourself a stamp seed storage
4:05
kit. You don't want to store your
4:06
generational wealth on paper. Store on.
4:10
Stored on Titanium Bro, one of the strongest metals on planet
4:13
Earth at the time of recording the Bitcoin Price is 38,740 sats
4:17
per dollar, 2581 block height 819,304 blocks to having 20,696.
4:26
Having estimate April 19th, 2024 Total Lightning network capacity
4:31
5060 Bitcoin capacity value 196,000,000 U.S. dollars
4:37
Realized monetary inflation 1.75% The market capitalization
4:41
of Bitcoin $757 billion of the B Bitcoin versus gold market cap
4:46
5.54%. In the grand scheme of things,
4:50
Bitcoin is still a tiny little baby.
4:51
Once Bitcoin reaches the market cap of gold, that would put the
4:54
price of Bitcoin at 590. $1000 per coin.
4:58
Anyways, I do want to talk about this 'cause this was kind of the
5:02
I I've never seen this before. This was this was kind of huge,
5:07
but let's start off with what exactly happened.
5:09
So 83 Bitcoin transaction fee sets a new record.
5:14
In Fiat terms, this happened November 23rd, 2023, but a lot
5:18
of things have happened since then.
5:21
But essentially what happened is an unknown entity set a new
5:24
Bitcoin transaction fee record in Fiat terms today, effectively
5:28
playing over $3.1 million for a single Bitcoin transaction.
5:34
The transaction minded block 818,087 moved over 139 Bitcoin
5:40
and paid a 83.7 Bitcoin in fees, resulting in 55.77 Bitcoin
5:47
transferred. So they paid more in fees than
5:49
they paid. In in actually transferring the
5:53
Bitcoin, the transaction was mined by a KYC only mining pool
5:56
Ant pool. After broadcasting the
5:58
transaction the user, the user used RBF to increase the fee
6:03
even further. The transaction was seen in the
6:06
open mem pool first, so anyone could have mount have mined it
6:10
said mono not quote. They somehow failed to add a
6:14
change output to send the remaining 83 Bitcoin back to
6:18
themselves now. Here's the thing though.
6:21
Apparently there's more to the story.
6:22
This came out seven days later. The 83 Bitcoin fee transaction
6:27
was a cold wallet hack. It goes on to say it was my The
6:31
person that posted this on Twitter said it was my Bitcoin.
6:35
It was my Bitcoin that paid the high fee.
6:37
I created a new cold wallet, transferred 139 Bitcoin to it.
6:42
And it got transferred out to another wallet immediately.
6:46
Quote, I can only imagine that someone was running a script on
6:49
that wallet, and that script had a weird fee calculation.
6:53
The user also provided a signed message to confirm that they are
6:57
the owner of the hacked wallet, and there's no way you can fake
7:02
this by the way. Since the wallet is compromised,
7:04
the this message could have been signed by either the victim or
7:09
attacker. That's true.
7:10
If Antpool officials return the fee, they'll need another way to
7:14
verify the victim's identity and news that came out, I think it
7:18
was yesterday as well. Antpool has agreed to refund the
7:22
83 Bitcoin transaction fee, which is roughly $3,000,000.
7:27
Excellently paid last week, so I have a lot of questions here.
7:31
I'm going to start off with Nolan first.
7:33
How is Ant Pool going to verify who is the actual owner of that
7:38
of that coin, right? Because it could have been the
7:40
hacker that just went to Twitter and said this was mine, it was
7:44
me you got to get. Yeah, I mean, this stuff is, I
7:52
think you're going to hear a lot more stuff like this, right?
7:55
Whenever Bitcoin really starts to imprint itself on the the
8:00
public imagination and the consciousness as it as it is
8:03
about you again, right We were all boring.
8:05
We were all boring old tech last year.
8:07
We were dying. Right now there's people running
8:10
these kinds of scams to get Bitcoin.
8:11
So bullish, bullish. There's.
8:16
Bullish on my dude, I I might. Opti, you gotta.
8:20
You got to change your name, bro.
8:21
You're no longer optimist fields we got.
8:23
Fields. We got we got optimist Nolan
8:26
right here. He's coming for your title, my
8:29
friend. Anyways, I'm Optus.
8:32
The entire future of humanity, guys.
8:34
The entire future of humanity. See this is, this is what I This
8:37
is why the name is what it is. Because you know this is this is
8:40
what it's about. It's once you get on the Bitcoin
8:42
standard you just start to view the world differently.
8:45
Instead of instead of being on number go down in every aspect
8:49
on the Fiat standard it's number go up in every aspect on the
8:51
Bitcoin standard. Like this is what it's all
8:53
about. But yeah, man, I I I missed that
8:56
last part. Nico, I we know we covered the
8:59
story. What was it?
9:01
A couple days ago we kind of slightly mentioned it.
9:03
I saw that amp pool post, but I I missed the whole like it was a
9:07
hack thing and that's just man, that's just crazy you know just
9:12
wrecked and ripped to that to the guy that got hacked.
9:15
But man, what a what a crazy story.
9:17
I I did not. I did not catch that that middle
9:20
part. Yeah.
9:21
And nor did I. Nor did I I didn't.
9:22
I I thought it was just this thing about the fees.
9:25
I didn't know There. I I missed that.
9:27
There was this whole new aspect to it.
9:29
Yeah, it's like a developing story like it's it's it's a, you
9:33
know we have like chief man, which means like drama in in in
9:37
Spanish, which is like this is the this is the drama in Bitcoin
9:40
land, bro. So someone lost, someone lost
9:44
$3,000,000 worth of Bitcoin in a transaction.
9:46
Then it comes out. No, no, no, it was my Bitcoin.
9:49
I signed it. Aunt Paul's like, no, we're
9:50
gonna give it back. But then it's like, then it's
9:53
like, you know, in the movies where like, they find the dog.
9:56
And like the only way for for like them to identify the
10:00
authorities, to identify who's the owner of the dog, is for
10:03
both parties to stand across the room from each other and be
10:06
like, come to me, come to me like.
10:09
I thought that was only for bad breakups, Nico.
10:11
You know, like which one do you love more, dog, Come to me.
10:14
Like what are they gonna do? How are they gonna decide?
10:16
Is it gonna be a coin flip some. Some.
10:21
Yeah. Maybe some probabilistic thing
10:22
get get the old Satoshi dice rolling up again?
10:25
Maybe, maybe Ampol didn't catch the fact that it was like a a
10:30
hacked wallet. Maybe they just thought like,
10:33
oh, hey, this was, you know, someone messed up and now
10:36
they're realizing like, oh wait, that account got hacked or that
10:39
wallet got hacked and we, we probably didn't, you know,
10:44
report on the best way to verify who owns this Bitcoin.
10:47
So I don't know, I guess it's a developing story and we got some
10:51
gossip for the next week or so. So this is this is the
10:55
requirements from AMP Pool and I quote dear users.
10:58
On November 23rd some users submitted 83 Bitcoin as a gas
11:03
fee. The risk control system of AMP
11:05
Pool temporarily. You know Tooting their own horn
11:08
temporarily froze the fee when packaging the transaction.
11:12
Please contact us before December 10th, 2023.
11:16
And verify personal identity in the following way.
11:20
After the verification, Antpool will refund the fee.
11:23
The verification steps are as follow.
11:25
Prepare a signing tool, Electrum or Bitcoin Core.
11:28
Use the private key of the address listed to sign the
11:32
message Antpool using the above signing tool.
11:35
Then send the signed text to the e-mail support@antpool.com.
11:40
The. Hackers, the hackers receiving
11:43
the Bitcoin, I got some obstacles.
11:45
No, no. Here's your chance that you got
11:47
you got you got the steps laid out ahead of you.
11:49
Are you going to send that e-mail first?
11:51
What if they get both? What if they get 2 emails?
11:53
Is it like first come first serve?
11:58
I I mean what I don't understand why they can't use some of these
12:00
wallet signings to verify. Shouldn't they be able to?
12:05
Yeah, but the problem is that apparently the hacker would have
12:07
access to the private key in there, of course.
12:09
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What am I talking about?
12:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Of course.
12:12
I'll just go around in circles with this.
12:14
Well, you know, crazy could always forge a sign seed praise.
12:17
And Craig Wright was gonna get it.
12:20
Craig Wright? I love how everyone he's ever
12:24
met as a forger, right. Everybody, like everyone in my
12:27
life, is a forger, you know? Jeez, what a tough break for
12:30
that guy. Tough.
12:32
Oh man. Oh, man.
12:33
Yeah. Yeah.
12:34
I mean, he did. He did.
12:35
He did bring it upon himself, though.
12:37
Like if we're if we're being fair, he he deserves worse than
12:41
he's gotten. There you go.
12:43
Although, although, when I look at, when I look at Joe Biden,
12:47
and I think it always makes me think of Craig Wright, because
12:50
it's like, you know, you, you wish for these things, right?
12:53
I wish people would acknowledge me as Satoshi and then you.
12:56
It turns out everyone's a forger and everyone knows you're a liar
12:59
and then you become known as the biggest liar ever.
13:03
Maybe in history. He might actually go down as one
13:05
of the great liars of all time. Now Joe Biden goes out and gets
13:08
what he wants too, but he can't walk.
13:13
So it's like you, you know, it's one of these things you ask for
13:18
and you shall receive. And he one guy asked to be
13:21
Satoshi Nakamoto. Like of all the people, I want
13:26
to be Satoshi. I want to be the president of
13:29
the United States, the leader of the free world.
13:31
You got it. You got it.
13:32
Here you go. Let's do it.
13:34
Dude, Oh my God. Yeah, this is.
13:36
Going to be a great episode this.
13:38
Is Total Clown World. Total Clown World?
13:40
Anyways, guys, they're the same person.
13:41
They're the same person. Corporate Watch to point out the
13:44
difference. Oh, man.
13:47
All right, all right. We found out a lot.
13:49
So Nolan is the owner of the 83 Bitcoin, so Nolan's going to
13:53
claim it. Let's see if he beats the hacker
13:55
in the process. And Joe Biden and Craig Wright
13:59
are the same person. It has been confirmed.
14:02
It has been confirmed. Before we move on to the culture
14:04
segment, I do want to give a shout out to our sponsor,
14:06
Bitcoin 2024. It's going to be the largest
14:09
Bitcoin conference in the world. July 25th through the 27th 2024.
14:14
It's going to be in Nashville, TN.
14:16
You want to get your tickets quickly before the prices go up.
14:19
You can get yourself Aga ticket for 3:49.
14:22
You can get yourself an industry pass for 8:49 that gives you
14:25
access to three days of the conference.
14:28
If you're trying to get a job in the industry, I highly recommend
14:30
that and you. Get yourself a whale pass for
14:33
$4749 that gives you exclusive access to the Deep Backstage VIP
14:38
Lounge. I got to meet Tulsi Gabbard
14:40
backstage. It was absolutely badass at
14:42
Bitcoin 2023. Guys.
14:44
You definitely don't want to miss Bitcoin 2024 and Nashville
14:47
TN OPTI and I are going to be there.
14:49
You can use promo code. Wait, wait, wait.
14:50
Nico, before you go on and putting Nolan on the spot, he is
14:54
the programmer for This is True conference.
14:57
So I know I don't want to. I don't want.
14:59
To sneak a piece, make him full. Screen.
15:01
But how is this conference shaping up?
15:04
You know, I'm sure you're in the early works of this or rather
15:06
maybe the mid midterm works of this.
15:09
And you know, the last couple of conferences have been absolutely
15:12
epic. So I'm guessing Nashville
15:14
Takeover is going to be awesome. Yeah, we, we announced the Giga
15:18
Chad himself this morning, which everyone everyone can you know,
15:22
anticipate he was going to be announced and since he bought so
15:25
many Bitcoin yesterday, you know it was a perfect fit.
15:27
So Michael Saylor obviously, and he's one of our first announced
15:31
speakers. But more importantly here's one
15:33
of the cool things about the show.
15:34
So you notice the date July 25th, 27th.
15:37
Why that day a little different than you've seen before.
15:40
What's going on? Well, 2024 in my estimation, is
15:44
going to be the greatest year ever for Bitcoin.
15:47
And that's because we're going to be at the centre of attention
15:50
for almost every thread of thought going on in the world.
15:54
In America in particular, it's an election year.
15:56
Satoshi and all of his wiseness put the halvings next to U.S.
16:01
presidential elections. So the engine seems to get
16:04
primed every time we come around to one of these things.
16:06
And what we're going to see with our show in July is that it's
16:08
going to be put right between the unholy meetings of either
16:12
political party of the United States or the Republican
16:14
convention will be the week before, the Democrat convention
16:17
will be the week after. So all of this fake prison of
16:22
two ideas that we see from red and blue will have its true
16:25
contrast with our show. Not the contrast and the fake
16:28
contrast they provide each other, but the contrast with
16:31
what Bitcoin offers. So the full realignment of red
16:35
and blue to orange and green is going to be realized that our
16:38
show and the world will seem that much clearer then.
16:41
Oh my God. I love it.
16:42
Love it. Either you watch Simply Bitcoin
16:44
or we're just In Sync in terms of thought.
16:46
Because this is what I always say.
16:48
It's not red versus blue, it's green versus orange.
16:50
So Oh my God, this is this makes me even more hyped.
16:54
Guys, you don't want to miss this epic, epic conference.
16:57
Use promo codes simply to get a discount on your tickets.
17:00
You wanna get them quickly because the prices do go up as
17:04
time goes by. All right everybody, no more
17:06
delay. Let's jump into the culture to
17:08
talk about what Nolan's working on, which I'm really excited on.
17:11

17:41
All right, this is going to be, this is going to be awesome
17:43
guys. So you know what we do here in
17:44
the culture, It is featuring our guests.
17:48
And today we got an epic guest, Nolan.
17:50
He does a morning show called The Breakup Guys and he is a
17:55
professional mono, mono. How do you know that Monologuer.
18:00
OK. I wasn't even say monologuers,
18:02
but monologuer OK? And I was just going to tee him
18:06
up with a simple question and let him rip, which was what is
18:09
your point of view on the state of the?
18:11
World right now, and he's got this epic, it looks like APDF or
18:15
PowerPoint here. So, Nolan, the floor is yours.
18:19
It's it's a book. It's a book.
18:20
It's a. Book.
18:21
It's a book. We wrote a book, we wrote a
18:23
book. And something amazing happened
18:25
last week, so we just published it last week.
18:27
It was it was really to help people with the holidays, right?
18:30
Because we all know we're going into the holidays last week.
18:32
We're still in the holiday season.
18:33
We're going to have Christmas coming up and it's time for us
18:37
to face the truth, right? Most of the people we love in
18:40
our lives are NPCS, right? They're non playable characters
18:44
and. And it sucks, right?
18:47
It's it. You just got to admit it though.
18:48
And we love them, right? We love them.
18:50
So I wrote this book with respect to Toxic Maximalists,
18:54
and what I mean by that is of course we can do the Toxic
18:58
Maximalist approach and just say the hell with all of these NPC
19:03
morons, but. But there is part of us that has
19:07
to acknowledge the reality. We've got to live with them Now.
19:11
The problem is, they're both dangerous because they'll kill
19:13
you if they're hypnotized into doing it.
19:15
And it limits your quality of life, right?
19:18
Because you got to watch what you're saying and you got to
19:20
think about how to deal with them.
19:22
So I started thinking about all that stuff and then I put it
19:24
into a package that really is I think the greatest tool ever
19:27
invented for orange filling ever, right?
19:30
Because the truth is our minds are not really logical.
19:33
Like we can try and argue 21 million Bitcoin and Bitcoin is
19:37
better than Fiat because this and that and a socialist case
19:41
for Bitcoin and a libertarians case for Bitcoin.
19:43
But these are all just logical arguments.
19:46
Unfortunately, we're up against something totally different,
19:49
which is the dark magic of Fiat, its ability to hypnotize, its
19:53
ability to create NPC. So I wrote this not as a book of
19:58
arguments. I'll even show you one of the
20:00
I'll give you a bit of the summary here.
20:02
Right. So it really is just a way to
20:04
navigate the complexities of life with loved ones who really
20:07
are the victims of Fiat information sources, right?
20:10
That's what's made them usually semi retarded in some ways and
20:14
and unable to, you know? No, but it's true.
20:16
It's true. See, we gotta get fucking Nolan
20:19
on the show more often. So it's it's it's kind of a
20:23
survival guide, but instead of arguments, what I used were
20:26
counter spells. It's counter spells to combat
20:29
the Fiat dark matter. So they're not, they're not
20:31
logical. They might not make sense, but
20:33
these are the best things you can do to deal with every
20:36
particular NPC. Now it gets even better, because
20:39
the truth is, Bitcoin can become a kind of Rosetta Stone, and it
20:44
actually forms the basis of what I call a protocol of NPC
20:48
management. And so the protocol begins like
20:51
this very simply, right? You can use Bitcoin first
20:54
contact lore to identify an NPC. So immediately, if they have no
20:58
Bitcoin story, automatic NPC automatic, right?
21:02
If they don't even know what you're talking about, you don't
21:04
have to look too closely or whatever, whatever, right?
21:06
But if they do have a Bitcoin story, here's the interesting
21:09
thing that starts to happen, right?
21:11
So let me show you right the essence of an NPC.
21:14
Right. So first of all, in the grand
21:15
game of Life, NPCS are those who wander paths laid before them.
21:19
Unquestionably, they've accepted the world as it's been
21:21
presented, a stage set by the directors of the Fiat system
21:24
Mistaken that sets props, wealth, status, security for the
21:27
plot itself. Understand, Dear Peer, these
21:30
characters aren't our adversaries.
21:32
There are charges, fellow players yet to realize that
21:35
they're part of the game. But here's how you can use it,
21:38
right? So you can get some ideas of
21:41
Janet Yellen performing her dark magic here, which is a really
21:46
important part of it. It is a bit like an NPC zombie
21:49
survival guide, right? But here's the important part,
21:53
right? So here's here's a little bit of
21:54
what we can do so we can use Bitcoin.
21:56
No Bitcoin Story automatic NPC, but their first contact, Lore.
22:00
If you actually take a moment to listen to it, they'll let you
22:03
know what type of NPC they are. You can actually analyze their
22:07
first contact with Bitcoin to figure out what's going on, and
22:10
once you know what kind you're dealing with, you can actually
22:13
calibrate your counter spell to hopefully awaken them.
22:17
Wait. Wait, wait.
22:17
Hold on, hold on. I have.
22:18
I have so many questions. First of all, you said, what
22:20
kind of NPC could you define what kinds there are?
22:23
Oh, we got yeah, I got. I got them all here.
22:24
Yeah, I got the types. There's not that many in the
22:26
end, you know, the the the program is not that flexible.
22:30
So I'll show you who they are. But the the way to categorize
22:35
your NPC is by First Contact Lore and then First Contact Lore
22:39
will actually tell you what both their fears and wants are.
22:43
And once you understand their fears and wants, you can combine
22:46
those to give your archetype right what I call the archetypes
22:49
of slumber, right? So the archetypes of.
22:51
Slumber This is phenomenal. This is.
22:53
Great work for this. I love this.
22:55
So here's what it is, right? You'll find that NPC sort see a
22:57
distorted mirror in Bitcoin, seeing it at reflections of
23:00
their own fears, the legality, instability, complexity, or
23:03
sheer anarchy, right? They'll dismiss it, really cure
23:06
it, fear it, Or worse, they'll remain indifferent.
23:08
Right? So.
23:09
But recognize these inflection reflections for what they are.
23:11
They're not the flaws of Bitcoin, but the flaws of the
23:14
beholder, right? The mirror is your guide, for it
23:16
reveals the state of their slumber and the nature of their
23:19
dreams. And you can use this to sort of
23:22
calibrate. So I'll tell you what they look
23:23
like, right? We can start with the
23:24
credentialists right there, you know, definitely afraid of what
23:31
will happen when the rug is pulled on trusted third parties
23:34
across the board. One of the most amazing things
23:37
happened though this week, and this is the the current events
23:39
part. So I don't know if you guys saw
23:40
this, but yesterday, Matt Taibbi, former Rolling Stone
23:44
writer, and Michael Shellenberger both testified in
23:47
Congress about mostly Missouri versus Joe Biden, which is the
23:52
legal case of federal government imposing censorship on third
23:58
parties to do what the government can't do.
24:00
Right? So the government is not allowed
24:03
to censor, but what they can do is create a third party.
24:06
Exactly what Satoshi warned us about who will do the censoring,
24:09
which is why we heard for years on Twitter.
24:12
Just make your own Twitter, right?
24:13
Buy your own Twitter. It's a private company.
24:16
We'll kick you off if we want. So that's why that went on for
24:19
years. But it turns out these things
24:21
were cut outs and these things were deliberately created to do
24:23
what they did. There was all kinds of messages
24:27
on the early foundation of these institutions that were saying we
24:32
can't have a repeat of 2016. Now here's the fun part, right?
24:34
So what we heard yesterday from Taibbi and Schellenberg are
24:36
testifying about this is that when they went out to actually
24:40
hire these brainwashers, when they went out to actually staff
24:45
these organizations like Media Matters and all these other ones
24:49
that would go out and censor Americans, they ended up calling
24:53
themselves Hogwarts School of Misinformation.
24:58
All right. Oh, yes, they did.
25:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we heard yesterday.
25:01
They actually called themselves Wizards.
25:05
All right, So it's just a freak coincidence that I wrote a book
25:09
about countering the spells that would generate NPCS through dark
25:13
Fiat magic. Now remember, what Fiat is, is
25:16
declaration is words, right? The mean to say Fiat means to
25:19
use words. So the Fiat network propagates
25:23
through the manipulation of words.
25:25
It's it's inherent right. It's it's what the system is.
25:27
It requires these third party broadcasters of brainwashing in
25:33
order to perpetuate the network. And so part of the perpetuation
25:38
of this words is to literally enchant people, right, To
25:41
literally make them spellbound, hypnotized them and they knew
25:46
it. So that's what's kind of funny.
25:47
So in my story, what I what I never do is give you an
25:51
argument. I'll, I'll, I'll show you in the
25:52
first sort of opening explanation of what the book is,
25:57
where I actually say that. Right.
25:59
So it's this book is written for bitcoiners, right?
26:02
It's about a toxic micro dosing approach.
26:04
So it's not maximalism, it's micro dosing, right?
26:08
Where you give a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
26:10
Remember that. It's nothing to do with arguing
26:13
right there, there. There's no list of arguments
26:15
here. I say it right here, right?
26:17
This book is not a list of arguments.
26:19
It's better to think of what's in here as spell cast and
26:22
counter spells. And and you know, that's how I
26:26
think you can do it, 'cause we we don't want to eat the bugs,
26:28
we don't want our friends to eat the bugs, we don't want anyone
26:31
eating the bugs, right? We got to do our best to help
26:33
them. So the we have a little bit of a
26:37
resume of the protocol here, right?
26:39
This is sort of the executive summary of how it works.
26:42
But I'll take you right into the, the, the, the parts, right.
26:45
So you got a credential list here, right.
26:47
So this is just identifying them through their fears and their
26:50
wants, right. So this is how you can sort of
26:52
categorize them. We've got that one.
26:53
We've got the follower, right. So here you see, this is the you
26:58
know if you would jump off, if your friend would jump off a
27:00
bridge, right. These guys would.
27:03
All right. Unfortunately.
27:05
And you can actually see where their reactions to Bitcoin first
27:08
contact lower comes, right. Where the.
27:10
Where the credentialist will say, you know, oh, governments
27:14
are going to shut that down, right?
27:16
Oh, they're never going to allow it, right.
27:17
That's sort of a credentialist first reaction, the follower,
27:21
right. It's where you're hearing these
27:22
people say, well you know my friend lost some money and I
27:26
could have been I I knew about Bitcoin early and I didn't And
27:30
then you know and then that my cousin got scammed right from
27:33
somebody at crypto. So all of this stuff, right.
27:38
So that's another part of it. We got the sports Ballers right.
27:41
That's the the person who in in the same vein, right.
27:45
It's it's oh, it's it's too complicated.
27:47
I don't do any of that investment stuff.
27:49
Right. Oh, what's going on?
27:51
I don't. I don't do engineering.
27:53
I'm not into computers and Wall Street.
27:55
Right. Too complicated.
27:59
We've got, of course, the Karen, right?
28:01
We can't forget the Karen. You can't forget the Karen,
28:03
right. There are tales of chaos,
28:06
dangers of the world unwatched. You know, that that kind of
28:09
thing. And then, of course, this one
28:12
here is called the Nihilist, right?
28:14
Which is the kind of person who you know would rather be right,
28:19
afraid of being wrong. And it's of course safer to take
28:24
this kind of a of a bet, right? So from there, once you're able
28:28
to actually understand what kind you're dealing with, each of
28:31
them actually comes with their own counter spell, right?
28:35
So that's where I get into on how to awaken them.
28:37
So the story begins with identifying and specifying
28:41
right, that that that's the real protocol.
28:42
You use Bitcoin to identify on first contact.
28:47
Then you use Bitcoin and analyze their first contact with Bitcoin
28:51
to find out what kind of NPC they are, what enchantments
28:55
they're under, which Fiat spells have actually penetrated into
28:58
their brain and focused and illusion and created this, you
29:03
know, fake reality around them. So from there you can, you can
29:08
awaken them, right? It is possible.
29:10
And and here's a little bit of how that works, right?
29:12
So these are the archetypes of slumbers.
29:14
So we now recognize the patterns in the archetypes of NPCS, and
29:17
they're each a You met, unique manifestation of Fiat spell
29:21
work. There's the credentialist, their
29:23
faith placed in the crumbling temples of institutional trust,
29:26
the follower who places solace in the chorus of the crowd, the
29:29
sports baller for whom life as a loser is unacceptable.
29:32
The Karen who seeks control, mistaking the puppet strings for
29:35
power. The nihilist, armored by
29:37
skepticism, denies themselves the magic of belief.
29:39
Right. Each of these MPCS requires a
29:42
different key and a unique combination of words in your
29:46
incantation to awaken them, so identifying them as the
29:48
cornerstone upon which the magic of enlightenment is built.
29:51
So you're really trying to use the magic of Bitcoin in order to
29:57
start cultivating some sense of awareness amongst these
30:03
unfortunately bewitched friends of ours and family, right?
30:06
So here each of them comes with its own method.
30:10
So with the credentialist, what you start is with pity, right?
30:13
I'm I'm. You don't argue with stats,
30:17
graphics, right? You don't start.
30:19
Did you read the study right? No, no, no, no, no, no.
30:23
They're to bewitched. None of that will work.
30:24
They're not thinking logically. You're not going to convince
30:26
them about Bitcoin by showing them the Fed balance sheet.
30:30
All right? They're insane.
30:32
They don't have an opinion. They have mental illness, right?
30:36
It wouldn't matter. You couldn't show this them to
30:38
them. It wouldn't make a difference,
30:40
right? You're not dealing with real
30:42
opinions. You're dealing with people whose
30:43
brains are absolutely broken. So one of the best things you
30:49
can do with these credentialists, right?
30:50
And I, and I, look, I come from that world.
30:52
I'm, I'm a trained lawyer. When I found Bitcoin, I had an
30:56
office with a fireplace and a secretary, right?
30:59
Like all of that had to go. But you can't keep that.
31:02
Like, you can't live like that, right?
31:04
Not out of suffering. You just can't go along with
31:07
the, the, the fakeness of it, right?
31:09
So here, I know these people, right?
31:13
I've, I've, I've, I dealt with a lot of credentialists in my
31:16
life. The best thing you can do is
31:19
actually pity them, right? And if the pity doesn't work,
31:21
there's the dial. You can turn up on the magic,
31:24
which is to mock them. You have to laugh at their.
31:27
You have to, right? I love the way, like, you have
31:30
to laugh at their opinions, right?
31:32
You have to laugh at, you know who they trust.
31:36
Really. You trust the news.
31:39
The news. OK, all right, OK.
31:44
So you have to mock their trust. And that's the emotional alchemy
31:49
that could work, that could work, right, To awaken these
31:52
folks. So some of these counter spells
31:55
have to be repeated, right? Especially when it comes to
31:57
awakening, identifying and specifying using Bitcoin.
32:01
Those you can do yourself and that's easy.
32:03
Electrifying and waking these people up little harder, but
32:06
with persistence. It works right?
32:08
Some easier than others, but that's how you should handle
32:10
them with followers. Optimism is usually the best.
32:14
I call it the optimist prime spell.
32:18
The reason I call it optimist prime is because, and I'll and
32:21
I'll go to explain what the optimist prime spell is, just
32:25
because everyone here is optimistic and they got a lot of
32:27
optimist names going along right.
32:30
So great greetings do persuade people.
32:34
And that's one of the things that I use here because
32:39
consistency in this is a it's a dimensional advantage that
32:45
bitcoiners have. Most Fiat people, because
32:49
they're gripped with fear, can't actually imagine the future.
32:51
It's they're not capable. Right.
32:52
They can. They can imagine.
32:54
Usually they have eschatological beliefs.
32:56
You know like the end of the world.
32:59
So the global warming stuff. Oh, we're gonna burn.
33:02
Oh my God. It's gonna be the worst.
33:04
Oh, so because their minds are so paralyzed about fear with the
33:09
future, they're incapable of imagining the future.
33:12
And that's a huge advantage of bitcoiners have.
33:14
That's like conquistadors versus whatever was going on with the
33:19
child sacrifice. People sacrifice thing way, way
33:22
back when, right? We're dealing with, with, with,
33:25
with generationally different weapons, let's say.
33:29
So that's a huge advantage bitcoiners have because we have
33:33
spent so much time imagining the future and it's actually quite
33:35
easy for us to imagine optimistic and better future.
33:37
So you're able to use that as a, as a as a dimensional advantage,
33:42
right? So Optimus Prime can be used in
33:45
many instances to wake and NPCS many, many instances.
33:48
And in this case, the follower, it's, it's particularly good
33:53
with the follower, especially when you're able to key in
33:56
Bitcoin community aspects, right?
33:58
And that's where the actual waking can happen, right?
34:03
So you can be a beacon of hope, you can be an embodiment of a
34:06
joyous future that Bitcoin can offer.
34:09
And that's something that a follower could respond to.
34:11
It could awaken, right? And especially within Bitcoin,
34:16
you can talk about citadels, you can talk about, obviously we're
34:20
very energy literate. We're not worried about what
34:23
Greta thinks. And you know, because obviously
34:25
it's very stupid to wonder who and care about what some young
34:30
autistic girl has to say about energy systems, right?
34:34
Like, it's not, it's not important, right.
34:36
So, and I love the autists, right?
34:39
We're all into the autists. But really, if it's about global
34:42
energy, you know we're going to have to be OK with her not being
34:45
OK with all the stuff that's going on that we just have to
34:48
get over, right? So with sports Ballers, of
34:51
course the Have fun staying poor jinx.
34:54
We all know that one. That's an easy one to pump out.
34:57
We've all done that one many times, right?
35:00
And that one hits the mark pretty well, especially against
35:03
sports Ballers. Like you're not going to sit
35:05
there and argue with the sports baller about bitcoins coming.
35:08
Just buddy, go for it. And you know you don't want to
35:13
get into Bitcoin. Let me show you what losers do,
35:15
right? And you can have fun being a
35:18
loser, and that's cool, right? But don't whine to me later, so
35:22
that usually will do it. Karen's clown world reflection
35:25
is a very difficult one, because really, you should not spend any
35:28
time with Karen's no matter what, right?
35:31
Like you should stay away. So this one's a bit at your own
35:35
risk, right? It's a bit at your own risk.
35:37
So you know you have to be a little gentle here, right?
35:44
So it can work, though you know you can get them.
35:49
And of course with the nihilists, one of the easiest
35:51
things you can do. It's not really an argument, but
35:53
you can actually talk about the wonder of Bitcoin engineering.
35:57
So these aren't so much arguments as they are being able
36:01
to speak within the memetics of Bitcoin's network, right?
36:04
And in general, the nihilist can be enchanted with, or at least
36:10
the enchantments can break once you actually see the technical
36:12
brilliance upon which Bitcoin is built.
36:15
So that one can work pretty effectively there.
36:17
Now I have a very special chapter just on US politics,
36:21
right, Because US politics, what you're dealing with.
36:24
And and as I said, right, what we saw, what we heard yesterday
36:27
in Congress was that they hired military grade brainwashers who
36:33
called themselves Hogwart School of misinformation and literally
36:39
acknowledge their skills as black magic wizardry.
36:42
All right, so just a coincidence that I wrote a book on this.
36:45
Absolutely. But that's what they think,
36:48
right? So in this world, you know what
36:53
you end up getting is this dualistic mirage, right?
36:58
US politics thrives on the illusion of opposites.
37:00
Democrats, Republicans, blue, red, liberal, conservative.
37:04
The duality, while seemingly concrete, is but the most potent
37:07
of enchantments. Democrats largely remain
37:09
steadfast in their belief that new sources are harbingers of
37:12
truth, their trust unshaken in the face of contradictions.
37:15
Republicans, on the other hand, are cognizant of the trance that
37:18
holds their counterparts, but unaware, unaware of the root of
37:23
hypnosis, which is money, right? So.
37:26
So I would say that you get this is just the way I see it, right?
37:30
The Democrats still think there's something like arguing
37:34
about facts going on, like we just disagree on on on opinions,
37:38
right? If we could just if there would
37:40
just be some charismatic boomer who would come around, we would
37:43
all agree the same, right? So that that's the lowest form
37:47
of awareness. Republicans are aware one group
37:50
is being brainwashed, but they don't understand that there's
37:54
that everyone is getting brainwashed, right.
37:56
So. So it's it's a little bit up,
37:58
right? A little bit higher, right.
38:00
A little bit higher, but still pumped full of anger and easily
38:05
prompt engineered by the Wizards.
38:08
So and that's indeed where you end up getting to the grandest
38:11
deception, right? That as money and exactly where
38:14
the dark magic is sourced from and why it's so potent and why
38:18
the hypnotic effects can actually have this kind of
38:21
resonance. Right, that that.
38:22
The the D in U.S. dollar is dictates.
38:27
It's it's literally words, right?
38:29
Dictates are the numerator. They're the denominator.
38:32
The denominator is dictates. And so it remains the greatest
38:38
sorcery that's ever been cast. And transforming government
38:44
issued debt into money is what allowed this to happen in the
38:47
1st place. You know, there's a lot of
38:49
people who say that Bitcoin is here to win World War 3.
38:53
I think the actual frame is that we're here to end World War One.
38:57
It hasn't ended. We've been fighting World War
39:00
One perpetually. And this is not A-frame.
39:03
Americans were ever given. This is the type of military
39:05
grade brainwashing that we were affected by our entire lives.
39:09
And now I believe in America. I do, right?
39:12
I love the United States of America.
39:14
I absolutely love it. But we got to get rid of this
39:18
money, right? Because having the money
39:21
attached to the country and attached to everything is the
39:24
source of all of our troubles. And so it is the reason why we
39:28
are dealing with this weapons grade with this type of
39:34
battlefield, right? I think here I say in the
39:36
labyrinth realm of consciousness and societal construct, no
39:39
theater of operation is more convoluted, more rife with grand
39:43
scale enchantments than the arena of US scale politics,
39:47
right? The word Fiat means dictate to
39:49
declare to state with words. NPC still live in a hypnotic
39:52
state of words where the words are the state of the state are
39:56
in fact money. The words of the state are
39:58
money, right? With root key access to their
40:03
subconscious minds. And that's what makes US
40:06
politics the actual battlefield. Of the US dollar reality and
40:11
that's like we're really up against and that's why we need
40:13
magic right. That's why it is literally a
40:16
battle of Wizards and spell casting and and that's what
40:22
we're up against. So in the end there is one thing
40:27
you can do with politics and I embrace and I implore and I
40:32
believe this is what we have to do in 2024.
40:34
This is what you're going to see a lot of in Nashville.
40:37
This is what I'm what I wrote the book for.
40:39
What I think we can do in 2024 for America as Bitcoiners.
40:43
What I think we can do for the world as Bitcoiners this year,
40:47
which is this particular spell, which is a dangerous one.
40:51
It's called Embrace and amplify, right.
40:53
And what that basically means is you've got to dive into the
40:59
turbulent waters of political discord in America, and you
41:03
better willingly grasp electric electric, electrically charged
41:08
binaries and with both, with with both wisdom and wit, push
41:12
them beyond their limits into the realm of the absurd.
41:15
Right. It's almost like culture
41:16
jamming. And what that ends up looking
41:18
like is that bitcoiners must embrace the following.
41:21
Despite all of the rock we see in our society, despite all of
41:25
the terrible things we see going on in America, everything looks
41:29
like it's breaking in America. Elsewhere in the world, it's a
41:32
damn good thing. Our elections work perfect in
41:35
all 50 states in all 50. What a coincidence.
41:41
Good thing it worked out for us. Now, one of the things that I
41:45
always try to draw on with that is the following that Bitcoin,
41:50
in our understanding of the value proposition of Bitcoin,
41:53
understand the engineering trade-offs within the network.
41:56
And that is, we made choices between credibility and
42:00
convenience, right? Bitcoin is not optimized for the
42:03
convenience of transactions. It's shitty and slow.
42:06
But we optimize for what? Credibility Much more than
42:10
anything else. In fact, that's the most
42:11
important thing. Confirmed transactions with the
42:15
exact protocol being enacted the way it was meant to, so that we
42:19
have credibility of the results that we see in Bitcoin more than
42:23
its convenience, right? Etherium opted for the same
42:26
trade-offs and went convenience right?
42:28
A little slow. You got to So imagine that this
42:31
trade off between convenience and credibility also happens to
42:35
apply to election systems. It's the same thing.
42:39
It's literally the same thing, right, 'cause you don't get to
42:41
have both. You don't get to be credible and
42:45
convenient, You got to be one of the other.
42:48
It's just the nature of the trade-offs.
42:50
Bitcoiners chose one. The same trade-offs are
42:52
available in our elections now. You don't need to ever find
42:55
proof of elections in America being a scam.
42:59
That would be stupid, right? Every claim you've ever heard
43:02
about American elections in 2020 being scammed or whatever is not
43:06
true. All 99.9 you've never heard a
43:09
real one. They're all fake, right?
43:11
But you don't need proof. All you need to understand is
43:15
the way the system works, and you have to understand the
43:18
engineering trade-offs of Bitcoin.
43:19
If you understand those two things, you'll realize we we
43:22
don't have elections. We've never had elections.
43:25
It would be the same as claiming some terrible shit coin with 0
43:29
nodes. And no decentralization has
43:31
transactions, do they? Do they have actual
43:34
transactions? Of course not, right?
43:37
They have lies on a spreadsheet. So bitcoiners understand these
43:41
trade-offs. And the way we talk about
43:43
elections in 2024 is going to be the only sensible sounding,
43:47
reasonable sounding analysis of what's going on in politics
43:51
because all of this brainwashing is coming.
43:52
So we have this tremendous role in 2024 to help everyone and and
43:59
hopefully in so doing we'll awaken a lot of NPCS and we'll
44:03
be able to save the world and create a Bitcoin standard in the
44:06
shortest amount of time possible so.
44:09
Beautiful. I love that dude.
44:10
I love this guy. This is something either you
44:12
watch simply Bitcoin or we're just on the same on the same
44:15
tune or on the same thing. But you took it a step above
44:20
you. You you, you took it a step
44:21
beyond. Because what we're saying is
44:23
like. Don't get distracted with divide
44:25
and conquer strategy though. It's not left versus right, it's
44:28
orange versus green. But you want to step above.
44:30
You went above and beyond, and you created a guide for the
44:34
specific NPC, how to approach that specific NPC, excluding the
44:38
Cairns of course, and how to really wake them up from the
44:43
propaganda, because that's really what it is, essentially,
44:47
is they've been propagandized. And I think our hope really is
44:52
and and look Nolan, I'm sure you covered this is a great example
44:55
of this right. The Wall Street Journal article
44:58
that that that dropped right. It's exactly this, the.
45:02
Wall Street Journal article dropped exactly right.
45:04
Or yesterday, right with the I had the privilege of being able
45:07
to attend the Ocean event with Jack Dorsey, Luke Dash Junior
45:11
and all that stuff. And one of Jack's tweets, you
45:14
know, promoting the event or saying this event went great was
45:16
like it. It mentioned the word pool in
45:18
it. And then literally the day
45:20
after, the BBC drops an article saying that Bitcoin is using
45:25
more water than Olympic swimming pools.
45:28
That is information narrative trench warfare.
45:31
Because they're attacking. They're attacking.
45:34
The MPCS for Because if you're an MPC and you see pool, and you
45:39
see the BBC article before you see what a mining pool is, all
45:42
of a sudden you have a negative association with the word pool
45:45
in Bitcoin. Right.
45:47
So yes, 100% this is what we're living through.
45:51
But you hit the nail on the head, Nolan.
45:53
Where can people find this book? Where this guide you can go to
45:57
nolanbarley.com and it's APDF you can download.
46:00
It'll be on my Twitter. It's pinned in a thread there as
46:02
well, so go have a look at the Twitter thread.
46:05
It's the last line where you can download it.
46:08
I believe I'm going to be recording an audio version of it
46:12
in time for Christmas and people should have it.
46:16
It should be good to go. You should be able to use it to
46:19
deal with your family, to not have any, you know, stupid
46:23
arguments with people and leave in a huff, 'cause they don't get
46:26
Bitcoin or they're not, you know, they're not listening or
46:28
they're not hearing. Arguments aren't going to work
46:31
on these people. You are actually dealing with
46:33
brain damaged people who are in need of help.
46:38
That's what I'm trying to explain to you.
46:40
They're in need of your help. Not not.
46:42
Oh, you're an idiot. You don't understand Bitcoin and
46:44
this and that. They are these.
46:45
That is all true. But that won't help.
46:48
So I wrote it to help people awaken these folks and and to
46:54
help you protect yourself. Because honestly, that's the
46:57
other flip side of this, right? We know that if they're turned
47:00
on, if they start saying, you know, Bitcoin pools Bitcoin
47:04
using more energy and then a pool, let's drown them all in.
47:07
A pool is next, right? So it won't take long to get
47:11
there and we don't want that, right?
47:13
We got to make it through these things and and bitcoiners are
47:18
got to look out for each other and we got to look out for for
47:22
ourselves, right? Hey Nolan, the the chat is
47:24
wondering when hardcover version Yeah I want to get it out.
47:29
I got to check the the 'cause I will sell it for SAT's, the
47:34
hardcover version. I got to figure out the time
47:37
delays on Amazon. I've got it formatted and ready
47:41
to go in the Amazon thing, so I will be doing it.
47:47
I may cause here's here's what I want to do.
47:50
I want to make a version that's printed on demand for SAT's,
47:55
which would be a reasonable amount of SAT's, right?
47:59
But I also want to sell one on Amazon for US trash tokens and
48:04
for US trash tokens. It has to be at least 100 trash
48:08
tokens because I have. It's like going into a like,
48:11
imagine I put like, there's no risk to you if you go into the
48:15
prison to pick up a hard wallet, but you got to go into prison.
48:20
You know what I mean? Like, imagine I put a hard
48:22
wallet in the middle of of like general pop and you got to go
48:25
walk in and take it, right? OK, Like they're not going to
48:29
arrest you, you're not going to jail.
48:31
You can go pick up the Bitcoin and leave, but it's kind of like
48:34
that with trash tokens now, right?
48:36
Like, if I have to go into Amazon's infrastructure with
48:38
like a bank and like, I don't know, I take the money out, If
48:42
there's only like a total of a few 100 trash tokens, I will
48:46
never bother. But if I sell it per copy for
48:48
100 trash tokens and people pay for it, then yeah, Fiat Premium.
48:53
Yeah. Then.
48:54
Then it's kind of worth it for me to go into the prison and
48:56
grab the cash. Right.
48:59
So it'll be something like that, Right.
49:01
I'm just trying to figure out how to get it for the reason.
49:04
Yeah. You're not getting my Sats.
49:06
XXS. Yeah.
49:08
So some people don't. Exactly.
49:10
So we'll do the Sats for the hard copy.
49:12
It'll be reasonable. And then there'll be a Fiat
49:16
version for trash tokens, and it would print it.
49:20
And it would be beautiful and still be beautiful.
49:21
All right, we're gonna get a beautiful copy.
49:24
I love that. I love that.
49:25
Well, Nolan, it's it's been an honor to have you on the show.
49:28
Totally optional. But you could stay on the show
49:30
for the rest of the show or you can bow out here.
49:32
It's totally up to you. But but before you go Nolan, I
49:36
absolutely love the the storytelling aspect of this and
49:38
and I constantly say something similar.
49:41
Now I have a framework for this so I'm definitely gonna download
49:45
it. Now I'm.
49:45
Gonna download it. I put it in the video
49:47
description guys. Yeah, so you can check it out.
49:49
It is. It is Bitcoin again, You know,
49:53
it shouldn't surprise us is the actual key to dealing with NPCS
49:58
of all things. And at the end, if you're you're
50:00
going to enjoy it, there is a bit of advice for all of us
50:03
bitcoiners in there, because indeed we are also NPCS.
50:06
There is a special type that you didn't see there that is the
50:08
Bitcoin or NPC. It's a real thing.
50:11
We are all we're all prone to this stuff and and I heard
50:14
someone mention about time preference, that's what it comes
50:16
down to, right? Time preference is a big part of
50:19
this. So thanks for having me on.
50:22
I appreciate it and I hope you like the Bitcoiners Guide to NPC
50:26
Management. Perhaps the greatest orange
50:29
Pilling book ever written. Beautiful.
50:31
Let's go. Hold on, you can.
50:32
Orange peel everyone. Everything.
50:34
I think Nolan deserves some horns for this one.
50:38
Absolutely. Nolan, it's been a pleasure.

52:40
So let's talk about today's news.
52:42
So this is Samson Mao, IA big fan of Samson, by the way.
52:47
And he's dedicating his precious, precious time, which
52:51
is the only thing more valuable to us human beings and
52:54
Satoshi's. This is your time.
52:57
And he's working. He's dedicating his precious
52:59
time to working on nation state Bitcoin adoption, and Mao's
53:05
doing an incredible job at doing this.
53:07
So shout out to him and let's take a look at what happened
53:13
recently. We actually posted this video on
53:15
on Simply Bitcoin's Twitter account.
53:17
Which by the way, guys, if you haven't, for whatever reason, if
53:20
you're not following it, if you want the best place for Bitcoin
53:24
news dropping while it's hot. Check out simply Bitcoins
53:27
Twitter our team doesn't a great a a great job at keeping you
53:31
guys in the know. Shout out to Ani Jax and our boy
53:36
Ruston of course for for building out the Twitter machine
53:41
and and of course Opti here and there and I I drop in here and
53:45
there some sometimes as well but yeah, so.
53:49
Check out this video of him with the president of Colombia For
53:52
anyone who doesn't know what the president of Colombia looks
53:54
like, This is him on the right hand side of Samsung, and I
54:00
think he might be speaking in Spanish, but I'll translate it
54:03
if that's the case. So here I am surrounded by
54:10
these, by these guru, by these guru friends, the blockchain.
54:15
He did say blockchain, which kind of sucks.
54:20
On one hand there's Bitcoin, on the other hand there's
54:22
cryptocurrencies. We're here gathered in Bogota,
54:31
which is a capital of Colombia for anyone doesn't know.
54:34
And the and they are experts in these topics.
54:40
We're going to be doing some work on working groups in public
54:45
administration and in grassroots and associated with work
54:54
cooperatives of the popular economy to enhance, to enhance
55:01
the, to enhance them with these new technologies.
55:09
That have already made their way into the world and we'll have
55:13
developments in the future that can be promising for the
55:17
prosperity of the people. OK, so very political response.
55:25
You know, this is not like saying Naim Bouquelay.
55:29
You know, breaking out, just ripping his shirt, taking out
55:33
the Superman costume and saying we're going to make Bitcoin
55:36
legal tender. But what is important right, is
55:39
that again, the more people get their hands on Bitcoin.
55:42
Nolan was talking about it from a American centric preview,
55:45
which we do on simply Bitcoin as well.
55:49
The more people get their hands on Bitcoin, the more people wake
55:52
up to the left and right divide. Left and right divide and
55:57
conquer strategy, that is. Been so, so successfully
56:03
implemented into the minds of the most of the world, what I
56:07
call Fiat politics really. It's not left versus right.
56:10
It's not blue versus red, It's green versus orange.
56:12
It's the party of orange versus the party of green.
56:14
Either no one's been watching our show or we're literally In
56:17
Sync. It could be either or do you
56:20
know, bitcoiners all kind of come to the same conclusion?
56:23
It's just it's a rabbit hole, right?
56:25
Anyways, so this is extremely bullish.
56:29
And even even if this particular president doesn't, you know,
56:32
come through on these things, once again, this is an example
56:36
of the Overton window is shifting towards the public's
56:41
perception of alternative currencies.
56:45
You know, if you have Bitcoin and then you have the shit
56:47
coins, it's up to Bitcoin to really beat these shit coins up
56:51
in the free market. I think it will because it has
56:53
the best incentives anyways. Colombia is also a massive
56:57
country. 314 billion people, almost as big as the United
57:02
States of America, has a massive has a massive GDP.
57:06
So yeah, you know this is this is a big deal.
57:09
It's it's no longer these you know, small countries whether
57:12
you know that's the Central African Republic or El Salvador
57:15
which is the beachhead for the Bitcoin movement on the nation
57:19
state level. Shout out to 9 Bouquela, Max
57:21
Kaiser and Stacey and all the people that were that made that
57:24
happen in El Salvador, you now we're talking about bigger
57:28
countries right. You have Argentina, of course.
57:31
You know the the jury is still out on Javier Miley.
57:35
We'll see what happens. But but you know once again this
57:39
is another country. You have Samson Mao, hardcore
57:42
bitcoiner, having one-on-one meetings with the president of
57:46
Columbia, which is, you know, one of the one of the most well
57:49
respected and powerful countries in in the region.
57:52
South America, right? So very, very rich, very, very
57:56
rich history. Of course, you know, inflation
57:59
is a big problem in Columbia. You know, consumer price
58:02
inflation averaged 4.5% in the 10 years to 2022.
58:06
In Columbia, of course, it's been below the average, the, the
58:09
Latin American average of 8.4%, but that's still 4.5%, right.
58:14
That's still a lot. You know, That's still a lot.
58:17
And that, of course, is government numbers.
58:20
You know, it's one of those things.
58:21
Bitcoin truly, truly does fix this.
58:24
Anyways, in other news I did wanted to focus on shout out to
58:28
shout out to mags does incredible job.
58:30
She's a great speaker, just some great talks at a Bitcoin
58:34
conference. She's she's highly knowledgeable
58:37
about not only geopolitics but also the mining industry as
58:40
well. She used to work at Coin Kite,
58:42
if my memory serves me correctly anyways.
58:45
Here is where she's finally saying the quiet part out loud,
58:49
right, which is most people don't like central bank digital
58:53
currencies. It's like they're shoving it
58:57
down our throats in order for them to maintain the power of
59:02
being able to create money for free that everyone else has to
59:06
work for. I think that fundamentally is
59:09
what central bank digital currencies are about, right?
59:14
I don't think it has anything to do with making payments more
59:17
efficient. And the reason I come to that
59:19
conclusion is because they don't.
59:22
They don't mention inflation when they talk about Bitcoin.
59:26
They they say people are seeking Bitcoin because they want more
59:30
efficient means of payment, but they don't meant they never
59:33
mention, they avoid it like the plague.
59:36
They never mention the fact that people are seeking Bitcoin
59:39
because they're trying to. Save their savings from currency
59:44
effing the basement, right. They don't.
59:46
They don't want to talk about that, right?
59:48
I think it's an indefensible position for them.
59:51
Honestly, on a on a, you know, on a psychological level, how do
59:56
you convince people that using money that steals from them is
59:59
good for them, good for them. And I think Nolan touched upon
1:00:02
that, you know, during his presentation during the culture
1:00:05
segment anyways. Here's Mags.
1:00:07
Here's the thread. And she says today the Bank of
1:00:09
Canada dropped a report from its CBDC consultations.
1:00:13
The findings? Canadians do not want central
1:00:16
bank digital currencies. 9 out of 10 Canadians don't trust the
1:00:20
Bank of Canada to issue a secure CBDC.
1:00:24
There's not a lot of trust in government, tech companies, or
1:00:27
government in general. Privacy is the most sought after
1:00:30
design feature in a CBDC, and I'll get to that.
1:00:34
I'll get to that because they know that and they're using that
1:00:38
as a way to advertise it. But we all know that.
1:00:43
If they can't even respect privacy in your communications,
1:00:47
what makes you think this is the same Canadian government that
1:00:52
censored that literally shut off bank accounts because there was
1:00:59
a political protest? This is the same government
1:01:03
that's like, no, trust us with even more power, we're gonna
1:01:07
respect your privacy. No, they're not.
1:01:09
Respect their privacy when it's convenient to them, when it's as
1:01:12
soon as it's not convenient to them.
1:01:13
I don't think they give a flying F about your privacy to be
1:01:16
honest and goes on to say Canadians value the ability to
1:01:20
give, refuse and with or withdraw consent to use use of
1:01:25
their personal info and ability to hold anonymous amount of
1:01:29
money over being able to recover the funds.
1:01:32
Did you hear that? Did you hear that they value the
1:01:37
ability to give, refuse or withdraw consent to the use of
1:01:41
their personal info and ability to hold an anonymous amount of
1:01:45
money over being able to recover funds?
1:01:51
One in seven Canadian uses and owns bitcoiner crypto.
1:01:55
So this number right here where it's 9 out of 10, we can make a
1:01:59
good assumption that one out of those 10 is a bitcoiner.
1:02:03
How do we get these numbers up? These are rookie numbers
1:02:06
anyways, goes on to say Canadians just aren't interested
1:02:09
in using a CDC. Further, they want Canada to
1:02:12
enact regulations that require merchants to accept cash.
1:02:18
Note that the data set for this report is much larger. 90,000
1:02:23
Canadians in the previous Bank of Canada Bitcoin studies 2000
1:02:28
people, so it provides a good picture of what Canadians want.
1:02:32
And this is common sense. Like this is obvious, like if
1:02:36
you use common sense with the average everyday Joe, do you
1:02:39
think? Look.
1:02:39
And if you live in Canada with developed financial rails,
1:02:44
right, why do you? What do you need a CBDC for?
1:02:48
You don't need one. But if you're a government and
1:02:52
you see Bitcoin on the horizon and you're like, holy crap, this
1:02:56
might stop, this might stop us from being able to create money
1:03:00
for free that the rest of us have to work for, Yeah, no,
1:03:05
they're freaking out. So the reaction is a CBDC.
1:03:09
But the problem that they have is that they have to convince
1:03:12
the public that they need a CBDC.
1:03:15
And that's exactly what they're trying to do.
1:03:17
Remember what that study said about how what people value most
1:03:22
is privacy? I kid you not, this is real, OK?
1:03:26
The European Central Bank almost has a million followers on
1:03:29
Twitter. This post got 54 likes.
1:03:32
I don't know who that those are. Probably bots, to be honest.
1:03:35
Or other central bankers around the world.
1:03:37
Or people dunking they probably have a slack All the central
1:03:40
bankers like yo like this tweet. Like this tweet bro.
1:03:42
Like this tweet. Retweet it man.
1:03:44
And of course they got ratioed AF.
1:03:48
Always. And this is the importance of
1:03:50
Twitter guys, look, make your voices heard.
1:03:54
Who holds the encryption keys? But they put an interesting
1:03:58
word, guaranteed privacy. Like who is guaranteeing that?
1:04:04
That's bullshit. This is like total gaslighting.
1:04:09
Total gaslighting. Look, the gaslighting has gotten
1:04:13
so desperate. I'm I I kid you not.
1:04:16
I kid you not that they're telling a shit like this.
1:04:20
This is real. This is not Photoshop.
1:04:22
If you search on Google, inflation is your fault.
1:04:26
You will find the link to this article.
1:04:28
This is real. They're running out of excuses.
1:04:32
It's not the supply chains. It's not transitory.
1:04:35
Actually, inflation is your fault.
1:04:40
If people are so mad about high prices, why don't you?
1:04:43
Why? Why do they keep buying so many
1:04:45
expensive things like the gas? Lighting is through the roof,
1:04:50
Privacy guaranteed. We care about your privacy.
1:04:54
Transactions in Digital Euro would be encrypted and protected
1:04:58
by advanced security measures, making them highly secure.
1:05:02
We'd never see or store personal data from digital Euro users.
1:05:07
I don't believe you. History has shown not to believe
1:05:11
you. Anyways, here's Christine
1:05:13
Lagarde, Opti's ex-girlfriend. And we've played you this video
1:05:17
Many We've played you this video as soon as it came out.
1:05:20
Right now here's the thing, right?
1:05:22
Here's the claim. The claim is we care about your
1:05:26
privacy. In this video, Christine Lagarde
1:05:29
says that the euro is necessary for European unity, that a
1:05:35
digital euro would future proof the currency, and it's so
1:05:38
important that we have to launch this.
1:05:40
Thank God for the community note feature, it says.
1:05:44
The EDBP argues that the digital euro faces several hurdles such
1:05:49
as shaky privacy, anonymity, safeguards, possibly limiting
1:05:55
choice, accelerating cash to placement and allowing spending
1:06:00
tracking. This is information narrative
1:06:04
trench warfare. It is not a coincidence that
1:06:08
yesterday, as soon as no the the on Jack Dorsey released a tweet
1:06:15
referencing the first decentralized Bitcoin mining
1:06:17
pool. It's not a coincidence that the
1:06:19
day after the legacy corporate media, which truly, according to
1:06:23
Parker, Lewis and I, I have those suspicions too.
1:06:26
Right when he came on simply Bitcoin IRL, really.
1:06:28
Government media, if we're being frank right, they're pushing
1:06:33
these types of the the they're pushing these types of
1:06:35
narratives, they're blaming you. You are the cause of inflation,
1:06:42
guaranteed privacy. What are you talking about?
1:06:45
But when you actually look at the truth, because we have the
1:06:48
truth on our side as Bitcoiners, it tells a very different story.
1:06:54
And then it goes on to say the digital euro doesn't offer clear
1:06:57
benefits but has many risks. And that is that is the that is
1:07:03
the question that I want answered.
1:07:04
Because that's what that's the same argument that Elizabeth
1:07:06
Warren used when she was talking about the the she's like the the
1:07:12
reporter, right. She's the CNBC reporter was
1:07:14
like, hey, Are you ready for the CBDC?
1:07:18
Is it time? Is it time?
1:07:20
And Elizabeth Warren's like, yeah, yeah, we need more
1:07:23
efficient payments, bro. PayPal, cash app, Zell, all that
1:07:29
shit. It's so easy to use.
1:07:31
It is so like it is bomb, Bing, boom.
1:07:34
Have you got an Apple Pay and you go to CVS and you go tuk tuk
1:07:37
tuk with your butt in and it gives you a little haptic
1:07:39
feedback and it's like Bing payment.
1:07:42
It's paid. You didn't even, you didn't even
1:07:44
need to take out your fucking wallet or anything.
1:07:46
You could just do it off your phone.
1:07:48
Like like we don't need more efficient payments.
1:07:53
The payments are great. What we need is currency that
1:07:59
doesn't steal from us. We need currency that protects
1:08:03
us from reckless government spending.
1:08:07
That's what we need. We don't need more efficient
1:08:11
payments, so don't fall for the gaslighting.
1:08:14
No, they don't give a flying F about your privacy, but they
1:08:17
know that that's what you're worried about.
1:08:18
So they're gonna tell you they care about your privacy.
1:08:21
They're gonna tell you that inflation's your fault.
1:08:24
And this isn't just the media. Isn't it a coincidence that the
1:08:27
media and what Joe Biden was saying the other day about how
1:08:31
he's sick and tired, how Americans believe that inflation
1:08:34
is caused by government spending?
1:08:36
And then of course you have the White House press secretary who
1:08:39
is literally saying Thanksgiving has gotten cheaper this year and
1:08:43
you're just like looking at the receipts and you're like, what
1:08:45
the fuck is she smoking? So what I'm trying to say is do
1:08:49
your own research member Nolan's guide, download it because it's
1:08:54
going to be your guide towards dealing with, you know, NPCS
1:08:58
during the holiday. Because Nolan is absolutely
1:09:00
right. I think a lot of them have been
1:09:02
completely brainwashed by this media machine.
1:09:06
So yeah, this is this is crazy. But we this is a great
1:09:10
awakening. I think by the day more and more
1:09:12
people wake up and I think we're going to win this because I
1:09:15
think we have better incentives than they do.
1:09:17
They're they they require coercion and they require lies,
1:09:21
both those things. They require both those things.
1:09:23
Without both those things, no one's going to want to CBDC and
1:09:28
no one's going to believe their bullshit that they aren't
1:09:30
responsible for the inflation. Even though they printed a
1:09:33
record amount of money stealing the time from individuals,
1:09:40
that's what they're doing. When they print money, there's
1:09:42
it's time theft. They're taking your work, your
1:09:45
energy and your time. And then when they and they
1:09:49
don't even want to own up to it because they know that they
1:09:53
can't explain that, So what do they do?
1:09:55
They they just gaslight you anyways, Opti, what's your take
1:09:58
on this before we hit the meme review?
1:10:00
Yeah, well First off, shots out the Samson Mao cuz he's been on
1:10:04
a world tour, orange peeling countries.
1:10:07
And again, I keep saying this, and maybe I'm a broken record at
1:10:12
this point, but I think we are all underestimating.
1:10:16
How much attention and capital is going to get into Bitcoin
1:10:19
when we have institutions and nation state level adoption?
1:10:22
Of course with the number go up we'll have more and more of just
1:10:26
everyday people talking about Bitcoin.
1:10:29
It's just going to get crazy. And of course would love to see
1:10:32
Columbia dot Bitcoin. I I fully wasn't even aware of
1:10:35
how many citizens are in Columbia.
1:10:37
So like that is absolutely huge. You know, say what you want
1:10:40
about it being a a Central or South American country.
1:10:44
Third world country and all that stuff, But what?
1:10:46
What was the #312 million people like?
1:10:49
That is a significant amount of adoption coming through from
1:10:54
Colombia. Of course, El Salvador was the
1:10:56
first country to adopt Bitcoin, but it's a relatively tiny
1:10:59
country and like, this is really going to put Bitcoin on the map,
1:11:02
of course. It's it's still kind of early
1:11:05
and we'll see what happens because you know, he did say
1:11:07
blockchain and and crypto currencies and stuff.
1:11:09
So of course this bitcoins are like getting nervous, like oh
1:11:11
don't rug pull us, please do not rug pull us.
1:11:14
But I mean, back to the other stuff you talked about, the CBDC
1:11:19
stuff, I mean, I've been saying it for a while and I, and I
1:11:21
really believe this is like if people have a transparent choice
1:11:26
between a controlled central bank.
1:11:29
Control mechanism, ACBDC or central bank digital currency or
1:11:33
Freedom, which is Bitcoin Freedom, money.
1:11:35
I think the choice is simple and this is not a theory anymore.
1:11:39
We saw what happened in Nigeria when their government tried to
1:11:42
roll out a CBDC. No one wanted it and I don't
1:11:45
think people want it. This is not about better digital
1:11:48
payments as much as they try to frame it that way.
1:11:53
People just want to really hold something that doesn't steal
1:11:56
from them. This is this is about.
1:11:59
The legitimacy of the Fiat system.
1:12:00
And I I was sitting here yesterday for a minute.
1:12:03
I was picking up my friend. He was in town for the night and
1:12:06
I was listening to Hotto Hangout John Ballas and American Hotto
1:12:10
Eric Cason and Breedlove and Cason said something that just
1:12:14
it was it's such a perfect meme. It's in the Fiat world.
1:12:17
It's all number go down for the rest of time.
1:12:21
Society just degrades because of the Fiat system.
1:12:25
It's always number go down there will continue.
1:12:28
To destroy the dollar that will continue to destroy society just
1:12:32
to keep the system going. But on the Bitcoin standard it
1:12:36
is number go up and it really is an optimistic future.
1:12:39
And I I just think once you can frame this and and tell a more
1:12:43
compelling story as Nolan was telling us.
1:12:47
The the choice becomes so absolutely obvious to anyone
1:12:51
that is paying attention and it it really is, as we say all the
1:12:55
time, you know freedom or slavery.
1:12:56
It's it's Bitcoin or or or death.
1:12:58
Like it is a what's the what's the Orwell like The last thing
1:13:02
Orwell ever said was. Think of the future of humanity
1:13:06
and what it is. It's a boot on the neck of man
1:13:10
forever. And and then they come out here
1:13:12
and you know Christine Lagarde tries or every other central
1:13:15
bank that, you know, the Elizabeth Warrens of the world,
1:13:18
they all try to paint a CBDC system as something like, oh,
1:13:23
this is for the good of humanity.
1:13:25
Like you really want this, don't you?
1:13:28
And it's like it, it's absolutely terrifying what it
1:13:31
really means when you break it down.
1:13:33
And I I just don't think humans. At least people that have some
1:13:37
faith and are still human at this point, you know, we'll
1:13:41
leave it to the tinfoil hatch out there.
1:13:42
Whether there's there's non humans on planet earth, which I
1:13:46
would kind of agree with, but if you're still a human and you
1:13:50
still have a soul, I think the choice is simple.
1:13:53
It is Bitcoin over the Fiat system over a new rebranded Fiat
1:13:58
system, AKACBDC. And the choice is very clear.
1:14:02
It is Bitcoin. It will always be Bitcoin.
1:14:05
I think if you want to see the future, be more prosperous, if
1:14:09
you want your children to live a better life, you will choose
1:14:12
Bitcoin. It will.
1:14:13
Actually, you probably don't really have a choice.
1:14:16
I don't think there is a choice. It is Bitcoin.
1:14:18
And what's the option like stay a slave forever?
1:14:21
That's not a good option in my opinion anyways.
1:14:24
The last thing I really want to touch on is that Atlantic
1:14:26
headline. Like it.
1:14:27
That's absolutely ridiculous. Like I can't even believe.
1:14:32
Like this is, this is, this is worse than what's so like the
1:14:36
Babylon Bee. Like The Onion.
1:14:38
Like this is the lowest level of quote, UN quote journalism ever.
1:14:43
This is like absolute, horrible yellow journalism.
1:14:46
I I cannot believe that these respected quote UN quote
1:14:50
legitimate. Media companies are coming out
1:14:54
with nonsense like this. It's absolutely ridiculous.
1:14:58
They they it's literally a slap in the face of any still
1:15:02
thinking human out there. They're like, you're so stupid
1:15:05
that we're going to pass this headline off like like it's
1:15:09
legitimate. Absolutely incredible.
1:15:12
And remember guys, they were saying that inflation was
1:15:15
transitory and now they're blaming you for inflation like.
1:15:18
What is going on They they they never, they never once mentioned
1:15:23
the trillions upon trillions of dollars that they printed since
1:15:27
2020. They'll never talk about the
1:15:29
fact that they're going to constantly expand the money
1:15:32
supply like as someone said in the in the in the chat which is
1:15:36
basically like you're the reason that we're stealing from you.
1:15:40
Like you blame yourself because we're stealing from you and and
1:15:44
actually you were kind of trolling rave, but.
1:15:47
I mean there there is some signal in there like it is our
1:15:50
fault because we allow these people to continue to print, to
1:15:53
continue to gaslight us because we still view they have some
1:15:57
sense of legitimacy and here we are it.
1:16:00
It just goes to show with everything going on in the
1:16:02
world, what we constantly show on the on on simply Bitcoin,
1:16:06
that the pendulum is swinging the other way and people are
1:16:11
hungry for truth. And we're seeing that the flow
1:16:15
of information is crumbling the the control that the money
1:16:19
managers, that the unproductive class, that the politicians,
1:16:23
essential bankers and their ilk, it, it is crumbling in real
1:16:26
time. The cracks in the system, in the
1:16:29
dam are are, you know, there's leaking water and slowly but
1:16:34
surely people are waking up. And of course, guys like you
1:16:37
know, the meme is Bitcoin fixes this.
1:16:39
But it does start with the money, and then from the money.
1:16:43
A better world will emerge, and this is where we are.
1:16:46
We're on the front lines of this.
1:16:47
And it's just I I really can't believe that they that they
1:16:51
actually publish that headline and there's probably some
1:16:56
nonsense. Nonsensical article, You know
1:17:00
some some kind of verbal diarrhea behind it to try to
1:17:03
gaslight you into believing that you're the problem because
1:17:05
you're buying expensive things. It's like, no, everything is
1:17:08
more expensive now. What are you talking about?
1:17:10
You printed trillions of dollars.
1:17:12
You've expanded the money supply by what, like 40 plus percent
1:17:15
since 2020. Like the the the reasons are
1:17:18
very simple. The more money they print, the
1:17:20
more money they have to print, the poorer we get and no amount
1:17:25
of gaslighting can. Can basically convince you
1:17:29
otherwise once you understand what the truth is, and this is
1:17:31
what Bitcoin is, it's it's a foundation of truth.
1:17:35
It's like once you touch the pillar of truth, you can't Unsee
1:17:38
the Fiat world. It's, you know, the the world
1:17:40
becomes clear. Boom, boom.
1:17:42
They don't call him St. Opte for no reason.
1:17:45
All right, everybody, it is Friday.
1:17:46
We did promise you some memes and we've been thinking about.
1:17:52
Cue the tomatoes. Niko, you're gonna drop this.
1:17:55
We've been thinking a little bit about the memes for a while.
1:17:58
And yeah, guys, to make the meme review more special, I think
1:18:06
we're gonna do the meme review. A little less, I think.
1:18:09
Just a little less. We're gonna do the meme review a
1:18:11
little bit less. The show has been going an hour
1:18:13
and a half now. Yeah, it's getting long.
1:18:15
So we're gonna be doing the meme review.
1:18:18
Maybe not every single day of the week, but we're gonna be
1:18:21
doing it. You know, we're gonna do it.
1:18:23
We're gonna be doing it a little bit less.
1:18:25
So maybe Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.
1:18:28
Maybe we can end the year normally and moving next year,
1:18:31
moving on next. No, no, no, Roman says.
1:18:34
We're not gonna cut them. The meme reviews always gonna be
1:18:36
there. We're actually probably gonna
1:18:38
extend the memes the days that we do do the meme reviews.
1:18:42
But we've been looking at our numbers and video engagement and
1:18:45
all that stuff. We want to provide the best
1:18:47
viewing experience. For you guys.
1:18:49
And yeah, no, let's let's expand on that because it's really, we
1:18:52
want to give as much value as possible to you guys in this
1:18:55
hour. And of course, you know, the
1:18:58
meme is a cult following. So we're not going to, we're not
1:19:01
going to, you know, we're not going to eliminate it.
1:19:03
But we've just been thinking, maybe we can give you guys more
1:19:06
value. Yeah, see that?
1:19:08
The, I told him. Cue the tomatoes.
1:19:10
Yeah. So the the meme review is always
1:19:12
going to be a part of Simply. It's, you know, it was our
1:19:14
history. It's been there since the very,
1:19:16
very beginning. So, so, so yes, it's always
1:19:20
going to be a part of simply, but we might be doing it less
1:19:23
days. Instead of doing it five days a
1:19:25
week we might be doing it three days a week and just we're gonna
1:19:30
kind of we'll we'll pivot we'll be very very flexible depending
1:19:33
on the performance and how you guys receive it and all that.
1:19:37
At the end of the day, we wanna we wanna create the best
1:19:41
experience for you guys and that's essentially what this is
1:19:45
all and all about. We wanna provide the We want to
1:19:50
provide the best viewing experience for you guys but no
1:19:53
rave the view the meme review. It's part of our history.
1:19:56
It will always be a part of simply Bitcoin.
1:19:58
It will just, we'll be doing it a little bit less, oh.
1:20:02
Man, Nico, you drop you. Dude, how you gonna drop the
1:20:04
hammer on me like on on such a great episode?
1:20:07
All right, all right. Let's hit the meme review.
1:20:08
Let's do it. The Daily Meme Review Yeah,
1:20:19
look, Elaine gets it. I trade a meme review for Nolan
1:20:21
any day. This is the way, guys.
1:20:23
It's it's really about stacking as much value into this hour as
1:20:28
possible. And I know you guys love the
1:20:30
memes. We love the memes.
1:20:31
We understand the the power of mimetics.
1:20:33
Look, we got a whole 30 minute rant from Nolan today about
1:20:36
mimetics. It's not about downplaying the
1:20:39
importance of mimetics, it's about just trying to give you
1:20:43
guys as much value packed into this hour as possible and and
1:20:47
the show's getting extremely long now, like we're already an
1:20:50
hour and 20 anyways, you already know the deal.
1:20:52
This is a meme review where you tag me in memes at simply
1:20:55
Bitcoin TV or drop them in our telegram group.
1:20:57
T dot me slash simply Bitcoin TV.
1:21:00
Tweets are the bullets memes of the artillery.
1:21:01
We are in an information war. Continue to ridicule the
1:21:05
corporate press. Continue to get the calls of
1:21:07
action out there. Continue to make some funnies
1:21:10
exposing the hypocrisies and then of course keeping your
1:21:13
friends heads in the game. This is the way all right guys
1:21:17
1st meme is by Rd. under score BTC.
1:21:20
Our boy Rd. and he goes had to use this template to be honest.
1:21:23
Hashtag Bitcoin hashtag swimming pool hashtag fud.
1:21:27
And we got the classic meme template here of, you know, the
1:21:30
mom with with the new baby born and helping them swim and then
1:21:34
the brothers drowning over here. And so, like, we got bitcoiners
1:21:37
with the Bitcoin logo and we're having so much fun.
1:21:40
And then you have mainstream media, swimming pool, FUD
1:21:43
drowning. And then at the very bottom of
1:21:45
the ocean we have a, you know, a skeleton and it's mainstream
1:21:50
media energy FUD. Remember they were saying we're
1:21:53
going to boil all the oceans and now they're saying we're wasting
1:21:58
too much water like they're they're not bringing their best.
1:22:01
The FUD is just getting absolutely ridiculous it it's
1:22:04
not working at all. Anyways next one is by Mitchell
1:22:07
Houghton it goes not today Satan.
1:22:08
And we got the classic picture of you know Jesus and the devil.
1:22:12
Satan doing an arm wrestling and the devil goes, ha, I will
1:22:17
deceive them with cheaper versions and then Jesus goes,
1:22:20
Bitcoin is truth. This is the way.
1:22:23
Do not get rug pulled. Do not get syoped into believing
1:22:26
that there is a new and better Bitcoin that this shit coin is
1:22:29
going to dethrone or what was it?
1:22:32
The flipping? It's gonna flip Bitcoin?
1:22:34
No, there's Bitcoin and then there's shit coins.
1:22:36
This next one is by Stacker News and there's nothing there.
1:22:39
But we got a husband here and he's he's what do you, what do
1:22:43
you call it Blinded his wife. He's got his hands behind the
1:22:46
wife's head and he goes, baby, remember the money we saved up
1:22:51
to buy our dream home? And then he exposes a wall full
1:22:54
of ASICS. I saw this one from my boy Joe.
1:23:00
He sent it to me. And just TLDR that he he pretty
1:23:03
much lived this and he's like I feel triggered and attacked.
1:23:06
Guys do not spend your family money behind your wife's back on
1:23:13
ASICS. You you might be in the doghouse
1:23:16
for a little bit. All right.
1:23:17
Anyways next one is by run the Banks AKA at Mt under score
1:23:20
Banks on Twitter. And it goes.
1:23:21
It's that time of the year again where I work to get the message
1:23:24
out and here's a picture of stockings at the store at like a
1:23:28
Walmart and you know they got letters on it and it's
1:23:32
rearranged to say taxation is theft.
1:23:35
Absolutely legendary. This is hilarious.
1:23:38
I I would love to see this maybe I'm going to have to do this I I
1:23:41
very rarely get to Walmart but I'm I might need to do this all
1:23:45
right. And the last one is by the
1:23:46
having party AKA having party MF and he goes front running the
1:23:51
