Transcript
- 0:14Yo welcome to Simply Bitcoin live your number one source for
- 0:16the peaceful Bitcoin revolution in the color, breaking news
- 0:18culture Mirotic Warfare we will be your guide through the
- 0:20separation of money and state and that's exactly what we are.
- 0:24Living through nowadays. Anyways, media mainstream media,
- 0:30I wouldn't call the mainstream media anymore.
- 0:32I would call them the Legacy Media.
- 0:34The Legacy corporate media caught lying in 4k about El
- 0:39Salvador. And unfortunately not only did I
- 0:43Rainbow Kelly. Bring the receipts simply
- 0:45Bitcoin has been covering this for months.
- 0:47Now we brought the receipts as well and it's interesting
- 0:50because this is this is an example of what the internet has
- 0:57done. Like the the the capabilities
- 1:00that the internet, the internet has given the individual, it's
- 1:03given the individual, the ability to circumvent The
- 1:06Gatekeepers of information and also The Gatekeepers of money.
- 1:09It's disintermediated. The sources of information, it
- 1:15allowed people to communicate directly to each other.
- 1:19So if the mainstream media says something about El Salvador,
- 1:23they try to spin up a narrative before that was the only source
- 1:29of information. I saw this very famous very,
- 1:31very popular, tweet by Jack pasaba to commit by Jack, the so
- 1:34big, and I completely agree with him.
- 1:36And it basically says, if social media existed in Thousand three
- 1:43we would have never have gone to war with Iraq and I
- 1:46fundamentally agree with that, right?
- 1:49The internet has allowed and given the ability to Millions
- 1:52upon millions of individuals to communicate directly
- 1:56peer-to-peer one, you know, together with each other and
- 2:01that severely diminishes, the ability for the Old Guard, to
- 2:07put it gently to put it nicely to control the narrative, which
- 2:10is why they're so hell-bent on. And you know, misinformation
- 2:14fact-checkers, you know, even though we know, it's like who's
- 2:17fact-checking the fact checking who's fact checking the fact
- 2:20Checkers, right? And we all know right in the B
- 2:24Administration tried to release the ministry of Truth which
- 2:28would have been the American version of Pravda.
- 2:31And for anyone who doesn't know Pravda was the official state
- 2:34newspaper of the USSR of the Soviet Union in Pravda and
- 2:38Russian means truth, right? Interesting interesting.
- 2:41It's like history. It doesn't repeat itself but
- 2:43it's often it often Rhymes but the Internet is just throwing a
- 2:47wrench in there. Now if the internet started the
- 2:52fire of freedom Gasoline Bitcoin put just gasoline on the fucking
- 3:00fire. It's just blowing up and you
- 3:04know, the These people, I call a monetary demons Marty, bent
- 3:10calls them. You know, the unproductive class
- 3:14Opti calls them, the high-level parasites, whichever, which way
- 3:19you want to describe them. If they don't have this Monopoly
- 3:23on information and they don't have this Monopoly on on the
- 3:28truth and we're going to get to that.
- 3:30It's very hard for them to convince people of their
- 3:35worldviews, right? Which is why they're so
- 3:38hell-bent on using that word over and over again.
- 3:40Misinformation disinformation misinformation They've been used
- 3:44to controlling the truth for a while now and they've been used
- 3:47to controlling the money for a while now and they thought they
- 3:50built this protective moat that was never going to go away.
- 3:53But in fact, what they built for themselves is a golden cage and
- 3:58bitcoiners stepped out of the golden cage and said, hey, you
- 4:01know, and this is a non address Antonopoulos lecture lecture
- 4:06reference. We stepped out of the golden
- 4:08cage and we realize like, hey, it's really nice out here.
- 4:13And they're stuck in there, and they're like, what?
- 4:16Like, no, you guys can't go out there, you know, but it sucks
- 4:19for them. They, you know, they bury they
- 4:22created the cage of which they trapped themselves in in the
- 4:26first place. Absolutely, exciting times.
- 4:29Fascinating times privilege times to, to live through all
- 4:33this. We know its tumultuous is is a
- 4:35fourth turning after all but hey, you know what, if you
- 4:40bought Bitcoin earn Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin and you're putting
- 4:42that Bitcoin into Cold Storage This is great, A entertainment.
- 4:48I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a blast watching all
- 4:51this stuff happening, anyway, so we're going to get to all that.
- 4:56Mainstream media caught lying about nine bouquet.
- 4:59So we're going to cover that. We also have a clip for for you
- 5:02guys from our favorite. Our favorite continuing are
- 5:07conference in Davos Switzerland. The world economic Forum.
- 5:11We have a we have a clip of that was.
- 5:12We're going to play that. We're going to talk about it, so
- 5:15sue me a great show, but I want to bring up my awesome co-host.
- 5:18Always optimistic, how you doing Opti?
- 5:20I'm so excited for today's episode.
- 5:22I'm freaking pumped up, bro. I'm pumped.
- 5:25I can tell I can tell. This is gonna be a good one.
- 5:29I was you guys can see me, but I was having a good time behind
- 5:33the scenes. Just laughing at Niko's, Intel
- 5:35more laughing with him just because I know it Nico gets
- 5:38animated. It's just like again.
- 5:39I said all the time when we get a five-minute intro, you already
- 5:42know it's going to be a good chef.
- 5:45I'm going to be it's going to be epic and also I mean it's very
- 5:49fitting. I think I reference it all the
- 5:50time about. Not you boo Kelly's article will
- 5:53probably get it into it once after the after the news of
- 5:57don't drink the elite school it and I hate using the word Elites
- 5:59at this point because you know the unproductive class are not
- 6:03the elites. But hey, we'll talk about that
- 6:04later and then on the, on the culture, I guess I'm kind of
- 6:09going in on my own tirade to counter all the Legacy Media
- 6:13flood and all their narratives and today Is one of my, I
- 6:18literally it, it makes me feel weird when they call us
- 6:21bitcoiners simply speculating on bitcoin.
- 6:24Well, I got an awesome article by B teen.
- 6:26Everything is speculation, we're going to get a little economics
- 6:29lessons today. Nico whoo.
- 6:32Auntie economics a Opti. Oh man, I'm pumped.
- 6:36Anyways guys gonna be a great show.
- 6:37Let's check out the numbers. Abdi.
- 6:41It's not working. Click the numbers on your side.
- 6:43Let's say let's see. Okay yeah I don't think we got
- 6:46that. I don't think we got the intro
- 6:47today cuz Yeah, it seems like restreams have Outreach dreams.
- 6:53Rex anyways, it's all good. We'll do it manually, guys.
- 6:56Let me tell you. Oh man, we can't even pull that.
- 6:59We can team up. There it is, there it is.
- 7:01Alright guys let me tell you about noddle.
- 7:03You should be running your own Bitcoin node.
- 7:06If not, you're trusting someone else's, don't trust someone
- 7:09else's. No, don't trust.
- 7:10Someone else's copy of the blockchain, trust your own copy
- 7:14of the blockchain and you could only do that if your own if you
- 7:17run your own. Bitcoin software and you do that
- 7:21either, by running it on your own computer.
- 7:23I don't suggest you do that, right?
- 7:24Because you want your node to be, you know, always on always
- 7:27connected to the internet. So you do we suggest having a
- 7:31dedicated to the device. You can do it in two ways.
- 7:33You could build it yourself, right?
- 7:35You could build a novel, you can build a node yourself or you can
- 7:38buy one pre-made obviously, we recommend the noddle.
- 7:41It's absolutely awesome, very well-built.
- 7:44It's made of metal also has little contingencies built in.
- 7:48You guys are definitely want to go check.
- 7:49Out. Check out nottle dot it today.
- 7:52Be your own bank, run your own Bitcoin node today.
- 7:55Anyways everybody let's check out the numbers a little bit of
- 7:58a curveball starting the show Opti.
- 8:01It's interesting. It's interesting.
- 8:03I wonder if we'll be able to play the video man, that kind of
- 8:06bums me out. So anyways, the Bitcoin price
- 8:09Opti, why don't you do the numbers while I figure this out
- 8:11in the back? All right guys, well look at the
- 8:14price current bitcoin price per Bitcoin is twenty two thousand
- 8:18nine hundred and 10.9 hundred and fifteen dollars per Bitcoin,
- 8:22we are currently at Moscow. Time AKA SATs per dollar of 4364
- 8:29set per dollar, we can still get thousands of sads / dollars
- 8:33guys. We are we're still early the we
- 8:35are, this is my favorite number. Always an all-time high.
- 8:38Every time we start the show, we're at block height of 770,
- 8:413411 and the current reachable bitcoin known publicly reachable
- 8:47Bitcoin node. Six and we are sixty six
- 8:52thousand five, hundred and eighty nine blocks, till the
- 8:55having it's getting closer, guys were getting closer.
- 8:58We're getting closer in the estimate date.
- 9:00For that is April 25th, 2024. So, what's up, mmm, I don't
- 9:04know, 18 months, roughly 13, something like that. 1614 Maps
- 9:07is hard, can't remember. Anyways, the lightning total
- 9:10capacity is currently at 5230 1.95 Bitcoin, which means that
- 9:17the Fiat value is hundred and nineteen point nine million.
- 9:21And as Nico says Bitcoin taking all other currencies to school
- 9:27with a realized monetary inflation of 1.76 percent.
- 9:31And the current market cap of Bitcoin is 440. 1.5 billion
- 9:36dollars, it is going up guys. We're holding strong, we're
- 9:40holding strong. Who knows if this is a bear trap
- 9:43or not but hey the market cap is above 300 billion.
- 9:47Again feels good. Good.
- 9:50Alright everybody. So let's check out this clip
- 9:53from the world economic Forum. The continuing are conference,
- 9:57in Davos certainly holds every year.
- 9:59Of course, everyone knows the the leader of this conference,
- 10:02right? The the infamous Klaus Schwab,
- 10:05you know, you will eat. See bugs and what's really
- 10:07interesting, right is that we the Brad Garlin house, the CEO
- 10:13and founder of Ripple was there and he was part of the panel is
- 10:18very interesting. Being right in this, you know,
- 10:20in this conference that is obviously against Freedom.
- 10:24It's obviously against private property rights.
- 10:26You have a shit coin founder. One of the most successful ones
- 10:30which is Brad Garlin house, CEO and founder of Ripple, part of
- 10:34the panel and then this kind of goes back to the theory of the
- 10:38case. Because shit coins are
- 10:40inherently centralized. They need the protection of the
- 10:44state. They need the / took.
- 10:46Excuse me, they need the protection of these powerful
- 10:48institutions. Without them, they can survive
- 10:52because they're inherently centralized there.
- 10:54There is a metaphorical. I don't want to say that on
- 10:57YouTube, but there's there's essential entity that you can
- 11:01capture. There's a central entity that
- 11:02you can put in prison, right? So, and that's in stark contrast
- 11:07with Bitcoin, which is why you don't see any bitcoiners at the
- 11:11world economic Forum, you see aetherium developers, you have
- 11:15AME iguchi, who is part of the etherium foundation board the
- 11:19three People, she's one of them and she's part of the world
- 11:21economic Forum as well, right? It's inherently statist, right.
- 11:26And it's in, it's inherently status, because it just takes
- 11:29common a common sense. It's Game Theory, right?
- 11:32If you're inherently centralized and You're vulnerable to
- 11:35government, coercion government capture.
- 11:37What are you going to do? The inevitable.
- 11:39Step is to Ally with the government, right?
- 11:42Ally with the state, so that they don't shut you down.
- 11:45And then in the process, you hope to create a regulatory
- 11:48mode. And I think That's what this
- 11:50video really speaks of. So anyways, I'm going to play it
- 11:53and then we'll talk about it. I think it's important that we
- 11:57are regulated. For sure, the point that I was
- 12:00making as I think the activity is what typically has been
- 12:03regulated, regulating Technologies is a little bit
- 12:05more, complicated understanding, how a technology is being used
- 12:09to touch a business, to touch a consumer to touch fill in blank.
- 12:13We should absolutely have laws on that and we should protect
- 12:15consumers. I'm actually intrigued by your
- 12:17thought around kind of the Policing mechanisms and you know
- 12:22as you said at us saying about, you know, how could we do a
- 12:24better job of that? You know, and frankly one thing
- 12:27that came to my mind as I think you know, several people in the
- 12:29hedge fund industry, reported Madoff time and time again to
- 12:31the SEC and for whatever reason they didn't investigate.
- 12:34I do think you know we do work with law enforcement a triple
- 12:38and we do file suspicious activity reports.
- 12:40And again we're only working with regulated and points so
- 12:45we're somewhat unique and I will say I agree with you that the
- 12:47origins of crypto were Absolutely anti-government anti
- 12:50Bank. You know the origins of these
- 12:54Technologies and how these Technologies can be used can be
- 12:57very, very different. And as time goes by, I think we
- 13:00spend less time talking about Mal Cox and Silk Road, and more
- 13:03time talking about here are real Enterprise scaled use cases,
- 13:07where it's not an experiment, you're talking about billions
- 13:09and billions of dollars going through ripples technology
- 13:12platform, kind of, you kind of trouble.
- 13:15So again like use you see him, right?
- 13:18And it again If you see it on the surface you're like no Nico.
- 13:21Like there's nothing that really that.
- 13:22What he's saying is bad and is whatever, but what he's saying
- 13:26is like, yeah, we do need to regulate these certain things,
- 13:29right? Because they're not bad and
- 13:33ripples gonna you know take care of this inherent enterprise
- 13:36software like look. I'll tell you something guys.
- 13:39A blockchain is a very inefficient that database.
- 13:43It's terrible. It's terrible like it's good for
- 13:46one thing Bitcoin right. You want a decentralized public
- 13:50Ledger? That's what it's good for
- 13:52everything else. It's dog, shit.
- 13:54They're trying to take your money.
- 13:55That's what it's for. So he needs to go to Davos and
- 13:59he needs to say, yes, we need to regulate the industry.
- 14:01But he's not saying it for Consumer Protection.
- 14:04He saying it with the intention of, hey, we need to build a
- 14:08regulatory Mo because we know and the free market, you know,
- 14:13121 Fair competition. They will never be able to match
- 14:17Bitcoins incentives, right? So that's the problem.
- 14:19He's hoping to go there and convince these government
- 14:22Regulators say, hey, you know what, we're okay, Bitcoin is in
- 14:26kosher because, hey, you can't regulate Bitcoin but then you
- 14:30can but you can regulate Ripple. Now here's the thing.
- 14:33If you could regulate Bitcoin it would defeat the purpose of
- 14:37Bitcoin, right? That's the whole thing, right?
- 14:39And again you know, there's trade-offs to this, the benefits
- 14:43are that if you live in a totalitarian country, right?
- 14:47Or you live in a country with high inflation or you live in a
- 14:50country, which capital with capital controls or you live in
- 14:53a country that has been cut off from the Global Financial system
- 14:56due to us sanctions policy right bit, the fact that Bitcoin works
- 15:01the way It works is actually extremely beneficial to you.
- 15:05And a lot of people say, no that's a danger to society.
- 15:08I would I would beg to differ because an exam because El
- 15:12Salvador is a main example of what a society could look like.
- 15:16And look, I don't think it's a coincidence that El Salvador has
- 15:20been flourishing while you know the rest of the you know, the
- 15:23rest of the like countries like Argentina that are not on a
- 15:26Bitcoin standard, you know, continue to suffer from
- 15:28extremely high levels of inflation.
- 15:30I don't think. That's a coincidence and I think
- 15:32as time progresses more countries that adopt a Bitcoin
- 15:35standard will get the extremely similar results.
- 15:38I think. And look because I could say
- 15:40this on a personal level as soon as I adopted a Bitcoin standard
- 15:43I started thinking with that deflationary mindset, I changed
- 15:47my operating system from a Fiat operating system to a Bitcoin
- 15:52operating system. All of a sudden I started having
- 15:54hope for a future, right? I know the same is with with
- 15:57Opti, I know the same is with most people that have migrated
- 16:01to a Non-standard. Now imagine an entire country
- 16:04doing that migration. I don't think it's a coincidence
- 16:07that that country is getting similar results, right?
- 16:10So dude absolutely hysterical that Brad Garlin house is
- 16:14literally on a panel at the world economic Forum, talking
- 16:19about regulation and these are the same people that are
- 16:22advocating for. You'll nothing and be happy like
- 16:24it's absolutely hysterical. You know anyways Opti what are
- 16:28your thoughts is? This is funny to you as it is to
- 16:30me too. Hilarious.
- 16:32So, I mean, the CEO ripple at Davos just like big low like,
- 16:36Anna and I want, you said, you know what, what do you say we
- 16:40need regulation like another big law and first off like who the f
- 16:44is we obviously the Ripple see want regulation because as you
- 16:49said and this I'm glad you said this because this is what I was
- 16:51going to say. The same thing is like of course
- 16:53he wants regulation because his business needs that regulatory
- 16:57moat so that they can try to crawl along and continue the
- 17:00scam people like Government regulation will simply stop
- 17:03Innovation. It will ensure that this you
- 17:07know, the Monopoly of the shit coins are, you know, perpetuated
- 17:12into the future and just to let's remember, you know, let's
- 17:15just remember some of the stuff that we covered last year about
- 17:18the fact that Greenpeace has been funded by Ripple to
- 17:22continuously fud proof-of-work. Like these are the same people.
- 17:26Like Nico says, that one is to own nothing and be happy and now
- 17:29you're going to you know, listen Then to them about regulating
- 17:32Bitcoin and shit coins. Like guys this is absolutely
- 17:37ridiculous. The the hubris of the shit
- 17:40Corners, the fact that he's in a suit up there, you know with
- 17:42with other suited people talking about like from his mighty horse
- 17:46like oh you know we need to regulate Bitcoin for the safety
- 17:50of the of the consumer and it's like dude it's absolutely
- 17:55atrocious and ridiculous that these people can go on TV Go.
- 18:01Their meetings and and these conventions and with a straight
- 18:04face, tell us that they are here for your protection.
- 18:07Like it's fucking disgusting. Like I don't know how else to
- 18:11put it. It's cheap moral virtue man.
- 18:13And these are the same people that are telling you you know
- 18:15not to use gas vehicles while they're taking their private
- 18:18jets you know to Davos to meet at this concealing are
- 18:21conference 2023. You know, it's absolute moral
- 18:25virtue, it's hypocrisy but I don't think they care.
- 18:28I think what they're trying to let you know is that this is a
- 18:31Hierarchy, we are here. We play by different rules and
- 18:34all you peasants play by different rules.
- 18:36And you know what, Bitcoin throws a wrench in their plans,
- 18:40and that's exactly why they hate it.
- 18:42Anyways, Opti, let's get to the news.
- 18:45The Daily News brought to you by block stream.
- 18:48Jade built by bitcoiners for bitcoiners.
- 18:51It's an open-source Hardware waller for the cold storage of
- 18:54Bitcoin block stream. Jade houses a full-color camera
- 18:58allowing for fully are gaps, Bitcoin, transactions.
- 19:01And display QR codes directly on the device.
- 19:03The sign transactions and verify addresses.
- 19:06With ease, use your block stream.
- 19:08Jade with your favorite wallet software such as the block
- 19:11stream, green, blue wallet, electrum and Sparrow.
- 19:14Get yourself a block stream, Jade today and take self custody
- 19:18of your Bitcoin. All right, everybody, they threw
- 19:23restream through a little bit of a wrench for edging.
- 19:26Our plans. Today, we have to play the
- 19:28videos manually but it's all good.
- 19:29The show goes on anyways, everybody.
- 19:31D. So a trip down memory lane.
- 19:36We've been covering this quite diligently.
- 19:39I might add all of the Legacy, corporate media's attacks on.
- 19:46Not only Bitcoin, but also Salvador.
- 19:49And like why? Let's talk a little bit about
- 19:51why that is right. Because if the El Salvador
- 19:56Bitcoin experiment is successful, it will prove that
- 20:00there's a viable alternative to the current system, right?
- 20:05The current system the way it works is that if a country finds
- 20:09itself in financial problems, they ask for a bailout from the
- 20:13IMF that, and I'm efuses SD Arts of, which they print.
- 20:18Right. And with that bail out, comes a
- 20:22bunch of Of conditions, right? The, the one that we covered for
- 20:27Argentina, one of those conditions was, hey, we'll give
- 20:32you this bailout, but you have Tuesday, incentivize the
- 20:36adoption of Bitcoin and shit coins in your country, right?
- 20:41So as much as the IMF to United Nations claim that they are for
- 20:47the people they want equality equity, inclusivity for all what
- 20:53I believe. Leave.
- 20:54They're really after is power and control and it's become very
- 20:58apparent as time goes by. And remember, a lot of these
- 21:02Legacy corporate media establishments are mouthpieces
- 21:07for these organizations, right? That includes the New York Times
- 21:11that includes the financial times or I loved opt, he's
- 21:15nickname for the financial times.
- 21:16The Fiat times. Varied is a great nickname.
- 21:19I love it. I'm going to keep using it.
- 21:21But you know you have this media machine.
- 21:24And this is why Independent Media.
- 21:27So important actually, it's not only Independent Media.
- 21:30You the individual take agency are the Independent Media
- 21:35because you have the ability to like a tweet to engage with the
- 21:41Tweet to tweak, something yourself, you can ridicule them
- 21:44with memes, memes, have to be true or else, they don't have
- 21:48the common language, they don't have the common denominator if
- 21:51they're not true, then you can't you won't understand them.
- 21:54Right? And you ridicule them and they
- 21:56hate it. They hate it because they're the
- 21:58ones that they're they used to be the ones.
- 22:00The only ones that had a platform, there are the only
- 22:03ones that could spout out things, and now they have
- 22:06competition. And that competition,
- 22:09unfortunately, for them is with people that don't aren't bought
- 22:13by special interests. Therefore.
- 22:15They could tell the truth. Unfortunately for them.
- 22:19So this is what it's all about. This is about power.
- 22:23It's not about the truth is not about Equity.
- 22:25It's not about equality, Bitcoin is the most Equitable equal
- 22:29money, the world has ever seen. Their system is a proof of stake
- 22:33system, their system is a system of hierarchy.
- 22:38They're the concealing heirs are the people that are closest to
- 22:41the money spigot and then there are all the peasants and you
- 22:45dirty peasants you cannot have gas, stoves know how dare you.
- 22:51How dare you we can fly private jets.
- 22:54We can have Yachts but you nah 15 minutes cities baby, you
- 22:59walk. Oh and by the way if you want to
- 23:04buy a glass gas stove nah man you can't do that CBD sees looks
- 23:09shut off your money. Nadia we don't like your
- 23:11opinion. So when we say there's a future
- 23:15between bitcoiners slavery, we had there is no exaggeration.
- 23:18When we say that, we might be over the top.
- 23:20The way that we deliver That message.
- 23:22But that doesn't take away from the fact that it is true.
- 23:25We are heading into a future right now.
- 23:27It's a little bit off. You skated the battle lines
- 23:29where you the individual are going to have to pick and choose
- 23:32whether you want to whether you want a future of Freedom, which
- 23:37is Bitcoin or whether you want a future of slavery.
- 23:40And El Salvador has taken the first step El Salvador's in the
- 23:45firing line because it has taken that decision.
- 23:49It has taken the decision to say, hey, there is a viable
- 23:53alternative to The Current financial system.
- 23:57And not only is there a viable alternative.
- 24:00There is a better alternative and that's exactly why they are
- 24:04attacking it, the way they are. Anyways, so let's read through
- 24:09some of these headlines, shall we?
- 24:11So first one by El, Pais Bitcoins decline in value is a
- 24:14quote, deadly blow for El. Salvador, next one, by The
- 24:18Economist, El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment is not paying off
- 24:24next one by CNN, NBC El, Salvador's Bitcoin, experiments,
- 24:2760 million lost 375 million. Spent little to show so far the
- 24:33New York Times. A poor country made Bitcoin a
- 24:36national currency, the BET isn't paying off.
- 24:40We have a Spanish article by info Bay.
- 24:43It says now endured Adventure Bitcoin the adventure of nine
- 24:47buchelli and Bitcoin Could leave, El Salvador and risk of a
- 24:53default. Now, let's take a look at some
- 24:56of the numbers, right? Because if you were to take
- 24:59these headlines at face value, you would say, wow, this has
- 25:03been a fucking clusterfuck, this has been a disaster, this guy's
- 25:06absolutely crazy. He's lost his mind, he's a
- 25:09Bitcoin dictator, you know, he's a fascist and, you know, she's a
- 25:13totalitarian all these crazy things, right?
- 25:16You'd say all of those things, right?
- 25:18But let's take a look at the data.
- 25:20It sucks for them that we're able to look at the data is why
- 25:24they hate the internet. This is why they want to censor
- 25:26the internet. This is why because what happens
- 25:29is, if you have individuals critically thinking doing their
- 25:33own research, they can't control the narrative anymore and it
- 25:37freaks them to F out. Now, imagine that and now
- 25:42imagine millions of individuals, not only critically thinking,
- 25:47but also holding a money that can't be debase.
- 25:49Can't be censored in. Can't be easily confiscated.
- 25:53You get why they hate this thing so bad anyways.
- 25:57Um, so let's check out some of the data shall we?
- 26:00And we've gone over this many times but, you know, in in, you
- 26:04know, in honor of this recent, these recent articles will go
- 26:08through the data again. So El Salvador used to be one of
- 26:12the most violent countries in Central America.
- 26:15At one of the highest murder rates.
- 26:18In the world, twenty20 to the murder rate, the homicides per
- 26:24100,000 inhabitants was 7.8. This is down from an all-time
- 26:30high in 2015 of 103. 2023 is projected that the homicide rate
- 26:37per 100,000 individuals is 2.1, that is lower than some American
- 26:44cities. El nivel Kelly and the Bitcoin
- 26:50experiment is Saving Lives. Anyways, so let's talk about it.
- 26:55Let's take a look at GDP growth. Since the Bitcoin law you could
- 26:59say, this is a coincidence. You could say, is it could be
- 27:02code, is a coincidence. Well, fine, maybe you could say
- 27:05it's a coincidence on its own, but here's the thing, right?
- 27:10I know what Bitcoin is done to my life.
- 27:13I know what Bitcoin is done to opt he's life.
- 27:14I know what Bitcoins done to people that have migrated to a
- 27:17Bitcoin standard and what has what has happened?
- 27:20Hope for a better future Prosperity, Financial
- 27:22opportunity. I'll Salvador had record.
- 27:27GDP growth 10.3 percent. Gross domestic product in 2021.
- 27:3610.3, that is a historical record.
- 27:39In this goes all the way back to 1966. just to give you guys a
- 27:45frame of reference, so, What are they talking about?
- 27:49I have no idea. Anyways.
- 27:51Well, we do have an idea. We've been talking about why
- 27:54they're saying this now. Would that one of the other
- 27:57narratives that they say, is, that 9 bouquet is a danger to
- 28:00democracy, right? Is they love that?
- 28:02This is danger. Democracy is a dangerous guys,
- 28:04attire disguise, whatever. Let's take a look at his
- 28:07popularity, right? And these are, it's taking a
- 28:10bunch of different polls, right? So, we have 90 percent, 85,
- 28:14percent, ninety, two percent ninety, six percent.
- 28:16Ninety, one percent, eighty, nine percent ninety X percent
- 28:18eighty six percent, ninety four percent.
- 28:20Eighty seven percent, eighty four percent, 85 percent eighty
- 28:22four percent eighty, four, 91-89, 87, you get the point.
- 28:26This guy's very, very popular. Now use common sense a little
- 28:30bit. Why is he popular?
- 28:31Well record, GDP growth, decreasing violence, maybe
- 28:38maybe, maybe those are good reasons as to why he's popular.
- 28:42Like wait a second. Isn't that the like the job of
- 28:45the person of the president, like its The job Prosperity.
- 28:50Like it's not that that's the whole point, right?
- 28:54Not for the people in Davos. Not for the New York Times, not
- 28:58for The Economist. No, no no.
- 29:01It's not about prosperity for all as much as you'd like to say
- 29:05that's your slogan, the United Nations.
- 29:08It's about power and control. And again this isn't just this
- 29:12isn't just Nico saying this isn't just simply Bitcoin saying
- 29:16this, you have nine bouquet lay saying this as well.
- 29:20There's a very famous article. The name buchelli wrote for
- 29:22Bitcoin magazine. We've referenced it many, many
- 29:25times. The name of the article is stop
- 29:28drinking the elite school, eight.
- 29:29Let's go through it, right? And there's this passage here
- 29:33that I think is the most powerful.
- 29:36And I think it perfectly, huh? Compasses.
- 29:39What it is? We're talking about with the
- 29:41Legacy Media and why the Legacy Media so hostile to not only El
- 29:49Salvador, but Bitcoin. The most V quote, the most vocal
- 29:56detractors, the ones who are afraid.
- 29:58And pressuring us to reverse our decision are the world's most
- 30:01powerful Elites. And the people who work for or
- 30:05benefit from them, they used to own everything.
- 30:08And in a way, they still do the media, the bank's the ngos, the
- 30:15international organizations, and almost all the governments and
- 30:19corporations in the world. And with that, of course, they
- 30:22own the armies. The loans, the money supply, the
- 30:26credit ratings, The Narrative, the propaganda, the factories,
- 30:30the food supply, they control, international trade and
- 30:34international law, but their most powerful weapon is the
- 30:38control of the truth and they're willing to fight.
- 30:42Lice mere destroy sensor, confiscate print, and do
- 30:46whatever it takes to maintain and control and increase their
- 30:50control over the truth and everything.
- 30:53And we won. So this is what it's about.
- 30:57Ladies and gentlemen, this is about the fight or freedom, but
- 31:03the awesome part is that this isn't a kinetic War.
- 31:07We don't have to pick up rifles and storm buildings and, you
- 31:10know, War sucks. War is hell right?
- 31:15This is a peaceful Revolution. All you got to do buy Bitcoin,
- 31:19mine, Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin, take that Bitcoin, put it into
- 31:22self custody, download an ethical Bitcoin wallet like the
- 31:26blue wallet. Opt is going to name the rest.
- 31:28So only one I could think of off the top of my head while it of
- 31:31Satoshi mun Moon. Get yourself a hardware wallet,
- 31:35take self, custody Jade obviously is one of our
- 31:39favorites, our sponsor, you know, you have cold card as
- 31:42well. You have Foundation also, you
- 31:45have so many good come treasure. You have so many good companies
- 31:49making Hardware wallets for you to take self custody.
- 31:53It's all we got to do. We want to defeat these monetary
- 31:57demons to unproductive class the high-level parasites.
- 32:02All you got to do is take your work, your energy, your time,
- 32:08and put it into something that they can't debase, and they
- 32:13can't confiscate easily. And then all of a sudden they're
- 32:17on a back foot. And let me tell you, they are on
- 32:21a back foot, they're freaking the F out and that's why the
- 32:25releasing these types of propaganda hit pieces.
- 32:30That are not based on facts on the ground, they're based on
- 32:35Miss representations and spin in order to achieve a certain
- 32:40political goal, but it's not going to work.
- 32:44Unfortunately, for them, the internet has given us the
- 32:47ability to communicate directly to each other.
- 32:51I could I could talk directly to you guys from my home.
- 32:55I don't have to go through them anymore, and because of that,
- 32:59their ability to control shift, manipulate them the narrative
- 33:04severely, it's merely it severely diminished, and every
- 33:07day it loses more, they lose more and more and more power.
- 33:11They more, they lie, they more they spin the more, they wake
- 33:15people up and before, you know it they won't have anyone buying
- 33:19their stuff anymore. And in a generation.
- 33:23Do you really believe that the 10 20 years from now?
- 33:28The youth are going to be watching cable news to get their
- 33:31sources of information? Of course not.
- 33:34We're heading or heading into a radically, new world, a
- 33:37different world. But the people in charge that
- 33:41the continuing are class, the people that sold out our future,
- 33:45because they printed too much money, they're trying everything
- 33:49and anything to hold on to that power for as long as humanly
- 33:53possible. But it's slowing.
- 33:56It's slowly going through their hands.
- 33:59There's nothing they could do about it, but that doesn't mean
- 34:02they're not going to put up a fight and that this media
- 34:05bullshit, these lies that they're saying about my m bouc a
- 34:08lie. It's an attempt to do that.
- 34:12But the monopolies that they once had are quickly being
- 34:16disintermediated. And they don't have this
- 34:20advantage that they've enjoyed for decades and decades.
- 34:24So is crazy times were living through hunker down, take self
- 34:29custody, run your own node, take part in this beautiful peaceful
- 34:34Revolution. The only thing you need to do
- 34:37just take self custody, if enough of us do it, we will win
- 34:41and there's nothing they could do about it Opti.
- 34:49Well, I taught it hard to follow a classic Nika Jones rent like
- 34:54that, but I love that you brought all those receipts to
- 34:58start off that bit. As I was thinking, while you
- 35:01were covering all those like, you can't trust any of those
- 35:04Publications that you, that, you named in the beginning of that
- 35:07bit. So, you know, if you want to
- 35:10know who the enemy are of the corporate press, like, who is,
- 35:14Only working against you, then you can rewind that and and see
- 35:18what Publications Nico name like you can't.
- 35:22You can't trust those Publications.
- 35:23And and I'm glad that you brought up the the article that
- 35:27we reference all the time. You know, don't drink, the elite
- 35:28school eight, don't drink, the unproductive classes Kool-Aid
- 35:31because we say literally every day and you read The Perfect
- 35:35part where the only thing they have is the Monopoly on truth.
- 35:39Quote-unquote on truth. So everything's a PR War.
- 35:42The only thing that they've been able to do for Are, you know,
- 35:45for the longest time ever is control the narrative and as we
- 35:49are a part of as we are. Seeing as bitcoiners that
- 35:52narrative is falling apart and there is seems in the narrative
- 35:56control and this is why the importance of the internet, the
- 36:00importance of all you guys out there is so important because we
- 36:04are actively in an information War as I say and we are
- 36:08continuously battling on that front and the only thing they
- 36:13can really do is Bombard you with so much noise that you
- 36:15forget what the signal is and this is why it's important for
- 36:18everyone to put their put their hat in the ring and continue to
- 36:22make more Bitcoin content continue to push people towards
- 36:25the freedom tools that we talk about every single day.
- 36:27As we say, you know, all you got to do is take Bitcoin into self
- 36:30custody using blue wallet, green wallet, sparrows Factor, cold
- 36:33card, seed signer Jade, what did I miss Zeus blue wallet?
- 36:38I think I said blue wallet, Breeze, moon.
- 36:40Like these are the wallets that you guys need to be using.
- 36:43You need to be saying it. Often we need to push toward
- 36:46people towards that. And as I've been saying for a
- 36:48while now my heuristic is, if people aren't pushing their
- 36:54followers into Bitcoin, Cold Storage into self custody rather
- 36:58then their incentives are suspect.
- 37:01And I might go on a little tangent here, Nico.
- 37:05But again, I guess, my my guess I'm on this tangent.
- 37:08This week of countering all this Legacy Fudd and I'm reminded of
- 37:13you said something about About like buchelli being an enemy to
- 37:17democracy. And I read this article this
- 37:21last week and in that same way what I didn't say, name of kale
- 37:25is an enemy of the month and I read it in Bitcoin magazines,
- 37:37the orange pill issue, and it was a beauty ons article.
- 37:41The stage is now set to replace Fiat And there's a point in
- 37:45there where like it's a big piece.
- 37:47I highly recommend you guys read it on bitcoin Magazine's website
- 37:51and there's a portion in there where he just thoroughly
- 37:53destroys democracy and I think it's just fitting.
- 37:56I have a highlighted a sentence or so here, so that we can
- 38:01continuously spread this signal and he goes, Democratic doesn't
- 38:04equal Fair proper, or right? It doesn't ensure just outcomes
- 38:08or restrain, the state from committing mass murder
- 38:10democratically. Overproduce Fiat is the fuel
- 38:13that powered the mass murder military industrial complex,
- 38:16that ravaged the 20th century and now with Bitcoin and plates
- 38:19is the world money outrageous. Like this cannot happen again
- 38:23because they're simply and literally is no money for it and
- 38:26to continue to double down. What is democracy.
- 38:29Democracy is a coercive political system where people in
- 38:32the geographic area are on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
- 38:41for them to run and hide Nico. But go on I'll go on you go on
- 38:46dude. I mean that's a dangerous path
- 38:49like so what is the alternative voluntary voluntary system like
- 38:54Bitcoin? I think.
- 38:56I would you know what I would say this Opti I would say this I
- 39:00would say that Bitcoin fixes the incentives.
- 39:03Therefore I think a lot of like if someone is if someone is If
- 39:11someone is democratically-elected right
- 39:13now, their incentive is not to do good by the people.
- 39:17Their incentive is to get close to the money spigot, right?
- 39:20I think if you take away the ability for the state to print
- 39:25money, right? All of a sudden politicians,
- 39:28their only way of raising money is via direct Taxation and
- 39:32you're going to see politicians get elected like get thrown out
- 39:35of office very quickly if they start raising taxes in order to
- 39:39fund an this war, right? I think that the Money printer
- 39:45itself. Basically has misaligned
- 39:47incentives, where politicians are working, not for their
- 39:52constituents. But in order to maintain power
- 39:56because if they maintain power, they get access to the money
- 39:59printer. If they get access to the money
- 40:00printer, it funds, whatever social program, they want.
- 40:03If they want to fund the, they want to fund an endless war in
- 40:06order to, you know, get some of the get, some of those kickbacks
- 40:10from, from the military-industrial complex,
- 40:13right? From the Fence industry, right?
- 40:15You know, it's it, I think that's really what's wrong.
- 40:19Because what other political system are you suggesting,
- 40:22right? You have monarchy, you have, you
- 40:24have dictatorship, you have democracy like, you know, I I
- 40:29always think of the Winston Churchill quote right which is
- 40:33you know he I'm totally paraphrasing here but he said
- 40:36basically something along the lines of I hate democracy but
- 40:40it's the based best system we have.
- 40:42Right. And I think I I feel strongly
- 40:45about his statement which is like I'm not a fan but I think
- 40:49compared to the other forms of government you know maybe I'm
- 40:53wrong, right? I don't know what else like
- 40:57think about it, bro. If monarchy is a form of
- 40:59dictatorship, a dictatorship is a dictatorship.
- 41:02So like at least there is some type of say I just think that
- 41:05the the money printer just misaligned incentives.
- 41:09Well, I was going to say all that as well, but yeah, it's
- 41:12voluntary. Voluntary association between
- 41:16humans is the way forward. I really like this.
- 41:20That who was it? Diogenes put a democracy is a
- 41:2351% attack. I'll just leave it at that.
- 41:26No is a great conversation. Anyways, everybody, let's get to
- 41:28the culture. The daily culture brought to you

- 41:51What are you waiting for? Visit Swan Bitcoin.com today,
- 41:57Let's go. Is there another ad that we're
- 42:01putting in here or do I just go straight into?
- 42:03I'm going straight into it. All right, guys.
- 42:06So as I've been saying, I guess I'm on this, guess I'm on this
- 42:10hell-bent, Warpath to continuously counters like you,
- 42:14see, medium fun, and all the bad takes in regards to bitcoin and
- 42:19Bitcoin owners in general. And this one is one that really,
- 42:23it really, grinds my gears. Anyways, this article was
- 42:26dropped yesterday by Mike. Al Goldstein AKA bit seen on
- 42:29Twitter and if you don't know who he is, definitely go follow
- 42:33him. He's one of the goat, Bitcoin
- 42:35content creators, and this article is awesome.
- 42:38It will be a little bit of reading, but it's going to be a
- 42:41short little economic lessons guys, do not tune out.
- 42:44I know, when I say A econ economics class, you're like, I
- 42:48don't want to do a class, but I think everyone should know this
- 42:51signal. Everyone's a Speculator all
- 42:53assets, are speculative assets. So I'm going to get into this a
- 42:57little bit. It and there's a bunch of quotes
- 42:59and stuff. So the first one is by Ludwig
- 43:01von mises and Human Action, a tendency prevails to make a
- 43:05sharp distinction between such purely speculative, Ventures and
- 43:09genuinely Sound Investment. The distinction is one of
- 43:12degree, only, there's no such thing as a non speculative
- 43:15investment in a changing economy.
- 43:17Action will always involve speculation Investments.
- 43:20May be good or bad but they are always speculative a radical
- 43:23change. In conditions May render bad
- 43:25even Investments commonly. Sidered perfectly safe.
- 43:28Again, this is why would mom uses inhuman act and as a bit
- 43:32seem rights, and the reason I'm covering this is for this first
- 43:35paragraph in general. It is common for critics to call
- 43:38into question. The economic rationality of
- 43:40bitcoiners for accumulating and saving Bitcoin by claiming that
- 43:43Bitcoin is nothing but a speculative asset.
- 43:46The insinuation is that Bitcoin is worthless and derives value
- 43:49solely from a series of scams or games of Greater fools, but such
- 43:54language betrays them as their aspersions revealed.
- 43:57Understanding the basic economic thinking the simple reality is
- 44:01all action is speculative action, all assets are
- 44:03speculative assets. The question that must be
- 44:06addressed is not if, but how we should speculate on bitcoin and
- 44:10this is something that I've noticed in myself anytime
- 44:12someone says, oh, bitcoiners just speculating is fundamental
- 44:16thought, like, wow, they don't know.
- 44:17Basic economics, but hey, we'll get into it.
- 44:20If the future was probably predictable, there would be no
- 44:23need to make economic choices. There will be no ability for a
- 44:26choice to have an impact on the future.
- 44:27Sure. Because the future would already
- 44:29be predetermined that humans act with the intent of affecting
- 44:32future conditions to their benefit implies a fundamental
- 44:36and inescapable uncertainty about the future uncertainty
- 44:41exists for two reasons. First, we don't know enough
- 44:43about natural phenomenon such that we can predict all future
- 44:46natural conditions and we likely never will and second human
- 44:50preferences are always, inflect people change their opinion.
- 44:53People change what they value and new knowledge and
- 44:55experiences shape their ideas about Best means to attain given
- 44:59end or whether they want those certain ends, so understanding
- 45:02uncertainty requires differentiating, it from risk,
- 45:06and in Human Action Ludwig. Von mises does this by
- 45:08explaining different types of probabilities.
- 45:10The actors must deal with, and we're always dealing with
- 45:13insufficient knowledge to make definite claims about the
- 45:15future. But we are not always without
- 45:18any knowledge at all. And so, I'm over, I'm going to
- 45:20skip a little bit of this stuff. So if you really want to read
- 45:22this bitch, seen dotsub stack.com, everyone to
- 45:25Speculator. I think everyone should read
- 45:27this, but But I'm all I'm going to give you guys to meet.
- 45:29So Human Action is based on subjective and qualitative,
- 45:32qualitative value rather than measurable quantitative data.
- 45:35It just us in possible to calculate different
- 45:38probabilities of economic outcome.
- 45:40We might be able to use factors such as past preference to help
- 45:43make a judgment about the outcome of actions, but we can't
- 45:46use this to place. Calculable frequencies on the
- 45:48outcomes and mises uses an example of a football game pads.
- 45:52Victory for one team might give us reason to believe that they
- 45:54will win again, but that does not guarantee a lot.
- 45:58For the underdog. In fact, if this the game would
- 46:00be boring and pointless, most uncertainty that humans face
- 46:04deal with the events that are unique to each individual
- 46:06circumstance and thus are not insurable.
- 46:09We must use other means to deal with uncertainty and mises
- 46:12identifies, three ways that we deal with them, certainty
- 46:14gambling, engineering, and speculation and there's a whole
- 46:18breakdown of the difference of these three things.
- 46:20But when dealing with matters involving people's valuations of
- 46:23goods, however, humans must engage in speculation.
- 46:27In the real world acting man, is faced with the fact that there
- 46:30are fellow men acting on their own behalf as he himself acts
- 46:34the necessity to adjust his actions to other people's
- 46:37actions. Make him a Speculator for whom
- 46:39success and failure depend on his greater or lesser ability to
- 46:42understand the future. Every investment is a form of
- 46:45speculation. There is in the course of human
- 46:47events. No stability and consequently,
- 46:50no safety preference can change for any reason and they do
- 46:53change and a good that is valuable.
- 46:55Today might not be tomorrow or by his Ursa an actor's deal with
- 46:59this by speculating. They buy or sell Goods today
- 47:02based on how they believe conditions will be tomorrow.
- 47:04And that being said, these decisions are not made in a
- 47:06vacuum actors. Use their knowledge about the
- 47:09state of the market as it is, as well as knowledge about
- 47:12preferences, beliefs past actions.
- 47:14Etc, to make judgments about the future and the most successful
- 47:18entrepreneur, entrepreneurs, the most unsuccessful invest.
- 47:22There's are those who are most adapt at routinely anticipating
- 47:25how people in the future while Those who are unable to do so
- 47:29face, losses and continually go out of business and profits and
- 47:34loss factor in turn. Serve as learning opportunities
- 47:38uncertainty, and speculation than are at the root of the
- 47:40market process. It is incumbent upon All actors
- 47:43to learn how to respond to Market signals.
- 47:46And this is why we love the saying of Marty bent the
- 47:49unproductive class. The the talking heads out there
- 47:52that they they can say whatever they want from their High box
- 47:55there you know High stature You but they are in a different
- 47:59position. That's because we have to listen
- 48:01to Market signals. We have to inherently speculate
- 48:04on the uncertainty of the future while they can just turn on the
- 48:07Monte printer and and find whatever they want.
- 48:10But all assets are speculative assets and the future is always
- 48:14uncertain because there is no constant in Human Action.
- 48:17Speculation is unavailable, all action is directed at improving
- 48:21future conditions, but we can only speculate on what the
- 48:24future will hold and preferences change and Including our own,
- 48:28what we want today or what? We think we may want.
- 48:30Tomorrow, we may not want when tomorrow actually comes.
- 48:33That means strictly speaking every good that we buy and sell
- 48:36is a speculative asset. So Bitcoin is certainly a
- 48:40speculative asset, but also our pencils cards and ice cream.
- 48:44If you are speculating on an asset and you always are, you're
- 48:47also speculating on other acid because the buying and selling
- 48:50of one good necessitates, the opportunity cost of not buying
- 48:52or selling and other good. So while one person may
- 48:55speculate on an ass Acid after sophisticated deliberation such
- 48:59as a Bitcoin. ER, another simply is a taking a
- 49:02hot tip off. CNBC they are both using
- 49:05knowledge of input factors that can affect the outcome of the
- 49:07event, but dealing with speculative acids, it's not the
- 49:10same as gambling. So Everything is speculation,
- 49:15but since uncertainty is not predictable, there's no
- 49:18insurance for uncertainty instead actors, turn to a
- 49:20specific good, the most marketable, good called money
- 49:23and then it goes into a breakdown of money, but anyone
- 49:26who requires money is speculating, that acquired cash,
- 49:28balances will be more valuable in the future than any president
- 49:31investment in that purchasing power in the future will be at a
- 49:34satisfactory lab-volt. Bitcoin may be a speculative
- 49:37asset, but so is the US dollar. So given that everything is a
- 49:41speculative asset including My money, it is incumbent for us to
- 49:44examine speculative activity, based on the knowledge and
- 49:47judgment being made to make the speculation rather than just
- 49:50shutting off our minds with legit.
- 49:52Look, linguistic, thoughts, Terminators, and this is what I,
- 49:56what I always say to people, I just had I just read bits teens
- 50:00article and obviously, it is a higher-level economics.
- 50:05And what I usually say, but the way I said is all of life is
- 50:08speculation every single day, you're speculating on the
- 50:12future. You know, whether it's a is this
- 50:15sentence going to relate? Well, to my girlfriend, am I
- 50:19gonna walk out there and get hit by a car or whether I am holding
- 50:23Bitcoin? We are all uncertain about our
- 50:26future actions, and we are just speculating on the best course
- 50:29of action. So all of life is speculation.
- 50:32So anytime someone else tells you oh, Bitcoin is just
- 50:35speculation. You don't need to get into an
- 50:38economic debate with them. You can basically, you know,
- 50:41either have two thoughts in your mind to thoughts in your mind
- 50:44either. They are completely uninformed
- 50:48and have no basic economic understanding, or they are
- 50:52trying to ensure that you don't get into Bitcoin and, you know,
- 50:56for lack of better terms, have an evil intent towards you.
- 50:59So continuously go down the path, that all of life is
- 51:04speculation. Everything you do.
- 51:05You're speculating on the future.
- 51:07You're trying to ease uncertainty in your future.
- 51:10You're trying to make your future life better.
- 51:12Anything that you are doing whether it's an investment,
- 51:16whether it's just walking outside, whether you know,
- 51:19anything it's speculation. So if you hear other people out
- 51:23there on corporate press, tell you that Bitcoin is just
- 51:26speculation, understand what they want.
- 51:28They don't want you to opt out of the madness and so they're
- 51:31going to go down these these economic fallacies.
- 51:35So that more people get gas lit and so that you know, the
- 51:38talking heads out, their sounds smart.
- 51:41But really they have no Basic economic understanding because
- 51:44all of life is speculation and holding money, has one reason
- 51:49it's to eliminate uncertainty into the future.
- 51:52We hope we're holding the most marketable, good, which is
- 51:55money, and if you understand Bitcoin, as we understand, then
- 51:59you are making a bet that more people will come to the shelling
- 52:03point, that is Bitcoin. And we will ensure that the
- 52:06world has more freedom. I think this is a fundamental
- 52:08basic thesis of mind that humans want freedom, human seek
- 52:13freedom, and if you give them a choice of a better money, one
- 52:17that is designed to steal from you.
- 52:19And one that isn't, they will make the best economic choice
- 52:22for themselves and their family and they will start holding
- 52:24Bitcoin. So the name of the game is, just
- 52:26wake up, people out there to the economic truth, that is Bitcoin
- 52:31that it is better way to hold and Save.
- 52:34And hedge uncertainty. Anyways, Mica, what's your
- 52:37thoughts on this? Do you get as mad as I do dude?
- 52:40100% And like, look money is subjective money.
- 52:44Like not only is life speculative, right?
- 52:47There's no certainties in life. I think we've heard that
- 52:50thousand times or at least I have for my parents, right?
- 52:53It's also probabilities right? And the fact is right.
- 52:56That look Look at, you know, the characteristics of Bitcoin and
- 53:02you know the characteristics of Fiat.
- 53:05If you challenge the characteristics of Fiat your
- 53:10discussion your your your points, your the things that you
- 53:15bring up, don't get debated, you get character attacked, it gets
- 53:21deflected. None of those things are
- 53:24actually brought up to discussion and it's including
- 53:27how the central Bankers view Bitcoin as well.
- 53:30Write it, they see it as a like, the state must control this.
- 53:35Trust must be enabled. Intermediaries must exist and
- 53:39they're thinking in absolutes, right?
- 53:43And and and that to me tells me something, right?
- 53:49If you're not willing to actually debate the thing you're
- 53:53just willing to just shut down the conversation completely.
- 53:58And then bitcoiners are constantly debating constantly,
- 54:01because a constant thing, right? Like, even we'd, like, sometimes
- 54:05we even destroy each other in the process like bigger blocks,
- 54:08no bigger blocks bigger, box, bigger box.
- 54:09And there's a fucking War, you know.
- 54:11And then one side, one, one side loss, like bro, like, you know,
- 54:15it's constantly being attacked. That's what Bitcoin is.
- 54:18It's designed to be attacked versus their system and attack
- 54:22city like don't hurt me misinformation, there's no
- 54:25inflation. What are you talking?
- 54:27Talking about, you know, and then and then the things it's
- 54:29like you're a danger to democracy like it's like none of
- 54:33it is actually debated it's just shut down and then they use the
- 54:38propaganda machine to say, you know, El Salvador, dangerous
- 54:42disguise, a tyrant. This guy's a liar, it's an
- 54:45absolute failure and then you actually look at the receipts,
- 54:48it's all a lie. So then just kind of like use
- 54:51like just common sense just comments, just break it down.
- 54:56The side that is defending Fiat and the current system.
- 55:00Hypocritical move the goalposts. When you challenge them to a
- 55:04debate, they call you names and they character attack you, and
- 55:07then they stand on moral Authority.
- 55:10We are the Central Bank. Therefore, you have to trust us
- 55:13even though we have Decades of lying to you, right?
- 55:17Like if I'm the Argentinian people and you're like, you
- 55:20gotta trust the peso Capital controls Capital, whatever it's
- 55:24like, bro. There's 95 percent inflation
- 55:27like are you stupid? You know, and then the
- 55:29bitcoiners are just like look Cap Supply.
- 55:32This thing is good meant to go up forever.
- 55:34Look at the performance, the last 10 years, just 21 million
- 55:38hard to confiscate hard to whatever.
- 55:40And you tell them that they're like that doesn't work.
- 55:44It has no value. It's speculative it's like
- 55:48motherfucker the prices at twenty two thousand nine hundred
- 55:51dollars and five years ago it was significantly less what the
- 55:56fuck are you talking about and infants?
- 55:59Five years from now, right? What's going to happen?
- 56:01Then what's the excuse? So this is what I like we've
- 56:05brought it up multiple times on simply Bitcoin live like the
- 56:08next having both Michael sailor and I'm buchelli are going to be
- 56:14Vindicated and there it's getting to a point where the
- 56:18media is getting so desperate, they have no excuses anymore,
- 56:22they've run out, they didn't have anywhere to go, right?
- 56:26So it's gonna be glorious to see.
- 56:29And I'm really excited because the amok skies are set at the
- 56:32other day and I think he said it perfectly, right?
- 56:34If the excuses themselves are suffering from fucking
- 56:37inflation, okay? The excuses have inflation,
- 56:40right? This is total clown world.
- 56:43We see it and the elites are just like, did you guys see the
- 56:46video of? I really recommend it.
- 56:50Go. They do a singing thing in the
