Nayib Bukele EXPOSES the US Dollar | EP 948 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:03
  It's all going to zero against Bitcoin.
• 0:06
  It's going on. Forever Warren.
• 0:15
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:23
  Well. Because.
• 0:23
  They want to sell it eventually, Michael.
• 0:25
  I mean, let's be honest, most of the people who are, yes, sure,
• 0:28
  some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the
• 0:31
  people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the
• 0:34
  assets at a profit. So I.
• 0:37
  Guess. Let me say it differently.
• 0:38
  People that use Fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name
• 0:43
  for them. We call them poor.
• 0:45
  Yeah, we'll get this to the Bitcoin Live.
• 0:47
  We're number one source of the peaceful Bitcoin revolution in
• 0:49
  color for the breaking news called Dramatic Warfare.
• 0:53
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:55
  state. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
• 0:56
  Simply Bitcoin. The most watched daily Bitcoin
• 0:59
  live show on YouTube. Rumble NXI.
• 1:03
  Just I I had to I had to start off with that sailor mic drop
• 1:07
  because I mean, I'm not I can't play it next week.
• 1:12
  So I I just had to play finishing Friday strong.
• 1:17
  It is Meme review Fridays, so I had to play it for you guys.
• 1:20
  Anyways, breaking news, actually pretty serious stuff yesterday.
• 1:25
  Naimbu Kele you know I don't definitely.
• 1:28
  I I believe it was a 4D chess move.
• 1:30
  But essentially what he did was that he made part of his
• 1:34
  National Treasury public. Anybody could audit it.
• 1:38
  Anybody. You could see the address.
• 1:40
  In fact it not only could you see the address, there's been a
• 1:44
  lot of bitcoiners that have been sending Sats to that address.
• 1:47
  And and I think that's a sign of, you know, camaraderie, but
• 1:51
  you know, it's a it's a big moment historically speaking.
• 1:55
  It has historical significance and geopolitical implications
• 1:59
  because it's the first country basically in the world to post
• 2:04
  their proof of proof of reserves.
• 2:07
  Nothing will ever be the same. Everything just changed.
• 2:11
  Any country that lectures El Salvador on anything, democracy,
• 2:16
  you know, it's financial decisions.
• 2:19
  They could shut the F up unless they want to show their
• 2:23
  reserves. I just want to speak a little
• 2:26
  bit about the US specifically. The, you know, specifically Fort
• 2:31
  Knox is audited supposedly, you know, every year supposedly.
• 2:36
  But really the last kind of video or picture evidence or
• 2:41
  people that were allowed, they allowed like 150 reporters and a
• 2:45
  couple senators and congressmen and congresswoman to actually
• 2:48
  visit the site. That was in 1974.
• 2:52
  That was the last time people saw physical evidence of 1 Volt.
• 2:58
  And you don't know if like that that's actually gold bars that
• 3:01
  they were looking at, right? You know, it could be like gold
• 3:05
  covered and actually like like tungsten cider, like a you know,
• 3:08
  like a like a heavy heavy metal but a much cheaper metal.
• 3:13
  So you know, what Naimbu Kelly did was incredible because when
• 3:19
  you make your proof of reserves public and here Cedric
• 3:23
  Youngelman, he has an amazing podcast.
• 3:24
  By the way, I highly recommend subscribing to it.
• 3:27
  He asked me the he asked the question yesterday on Twitter.
• 3:30
  He said, you know how how is this historically significant?
• 3:33
  Like what is the big deal? And to put it simply, I said
• 3:36
  it's a lot harder to steal things when everyone is looking,
• 3:40
  right. When was the last time we
• 3:42
  audited the Fed? You know there was some news
• 3:46
  coming out that the Pentagon like lost.
• 3:51
  If my memory serves me correctly.
• 3:52
  I think it was in the trillions. But you know given the benefits
• 3:57
  of doubt, they basically they they there's billions of dollars
• 4:00
  unaccounted for. This is the same government of
• 4:03
  course that you know wants to surveil any transaction over
• 4:07
  $600.00. But yet here you have the
• 4:11
  government of El Salvador setting the example for the rest
• 4:15
  of the world to follow. And any country you're, and I'm
• 4:20
  talking really about Europe and the US and Canada and all that.
• 4:23
  The so-called W any country that lectures or tries to take a
• 4:29
  moral stance on democracy, on El Salvador, on their financial
• 4:34
  decisions, on blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, shut the F up, Show
• 4:39
  your reserves, show your reserves.
• 4:41
  They won't, right. And I don't think that gold, for
• 4:43
  the record, I don't think that gold is there at Fort Knox.
• 4:47
  I just don't think it's there. But we'll never know because
• 4:50
  they won't show it. And then they haven't showed it
• 4:52
  in a really long time anyways. In other news, also kind of a
• 4:55
  little bit of an update on the CBDC type of stuff you're
• 5:00
  hearing kind of mixed messages, right.
• 5:02
  So Cynthia Lummus, the Bitcoin senator, you know, she basically
• 5:06
  interviewed or got Jerome Powell, the head of the head of
• 5:10
  the Federal Reserve, to testify in front of Congress and say,
• 5:13
  hey, like, you know, a lot of people are concerned about a
• 5:16
  CBDC. And you know, Jerome Powell
• 5:17
  said, you know, we can't approve this without, you know,
• 5:21
  congressional approval. It has to be passed through
• 5:23
  Congress a law. But at the same time, the GOP
• 5:26
  Majority Whip, Tom Emmer posted a screenshot of a presentation
• 5:32
  that supposedly Fed officials gave to him.
• 5:35
  And the top of the top of the the presentation is key duties
• 5:39
  of the Fed. At the very bottom is the
• 5:41
  central bank digital currency. So they say one thing, they do
• 5:45
  the other, and then connect the dots with the, you know, the tax
• 5:50
  that the Biden administration wants to impose on Bitcoin
• 5:53
  miners. Right.
• 5:54
  So you got to, you got to keep your eye on the ball.
• 5:57
  You can't, can't, can't lose your eye on what's going on.
• 6:00
  And I really have been wanting to cover this story for a long
• 6:03
  time. It's a Friday episode, so we're
• 6:04
  going to do it. Also, I think that this is kind
• 6:07
  of like a playbook of what's going to happen for the rest of
• 6:10
  the world. But Nigerian authorities blame
• 6:14
  Binance for 70% of Naira devaluation.
• 6:18
  That's right. The Nigerian authorities and and
• 6:21
  again you say they they blame, they blame Binance or really
• 6:24
  they're blaming alternative currencies that they're not the
• 6:27
  local currency. Binance is just a facilitator.
• 6:32
  But you know, that's the it's so easy if you have, you know, if
• 6:38
  you have someone to blame, if you have a straw man.
• 6:41
  And it's something kind of similar language coming out of
• 6:44
  the US as well. JP Morgan.
• 6:46
  And thanks to Opti for sharing this with me.
• 6:48
  Bitcoin surge could raise concerns at the Fed.
• 6:52
  Rate cuts might be delayed. So if you put all these pieces
• 6:56
  together, what I just said, I wouldn't be surprised in a
• 7:01
  couple years whether it's going to be the US government or
• 7:05
  foreign governments or whatever. As their Fiat currencies
• 7:08
  continue to fail against Bitcoin, they continue to get
• 7:12
  embarrassed to Bitcoin as more and more people wake up to the
• 7:15
  fact that money doesn't need to devalue to function.
• 7:21
  I think Bitcoin is going to be the scapegoat, and more
• 7:24
  importantly, bitcoiners are going to be scapegoats as well.
• 7:28
  And again this, it's, it's obvious you use common sense but
• 7:33
  this is also something that was theorized in the book, the
• 7:35
  sovereign individual right with you know as the as the nation
• 7:39
  state dies there's a lot of people that get left behind in
• 7:44
  that old system. So anyways lots of stuff.
• 7:47
  Lots of stuff to cover on today's show.
• 7:49
  And also we have a very very special guest as well of course
• 7:54
  we have the legendary Dom Bay and Dom Bay has been talk about
• 8:00
  proof of work proof of workforce man.
• 8:02
  You've been doing Satoshi's work.
• 8:04
  You've been really orange peeling these pensions, man.
• 8:07
  I I had the privilege of producing the Satoshi gauntlet
• 8:11
  when my time at Swan and you know, you were just, I remember
• 8:15
  you were just interviewing, you know, these people that were in
• 8:18
  charge of these pensions. And you know, these are just
• 8:20
  hard worker, hard working blue collar people that, you know,
• 8:24
  put up or shut up every day. They show up, They do real hard
• 8:28
  work. They work with their hands.
• 8:30
  They do it right. And you know, we live in this
• 8:32
  world where you know, if the money's broken, they might not
• 8:36
  get that pension, right. The Bitcoin fixes this, and
• 8:39
  you've identified that, and you've done incredible work to
• 8:43
  try to get that message out there.
• 8:44
  So welcome to the show, Dom. Thanks Nico as always great to
• 8:49
  be on simply Bitcoin love, love your guys audience and again you
• 8:53
  know our work has been made possible with like this
• 8:57
  incredible community and this this shared mission that we
• 9:01
  have. So it makes it easy.
• 9:02
  So happy to be on, brother. Welcome to the show, man.
• 9:05
  We really appreciate it. Of course, my legendary code.
• 9:07
  He's smiling. So it's going to be a great
• 9:09
  show. It's going to blow the F up.
• 9:10
  It's Friday, It's Opti. It's Opti.
• 9:14
  He was a little bit, he was a little bit late to the studio
• 9:16
  tonight. Don't call my mom, all right?
• 9:18
  Sorry I haven't talked to her in a minute.
• 9:20
  I forgive me, you know, call your mother.
• 9:22
  I get concerned because as the price of Bitcoin rises, no.
• 9:26
  But it's St. It's St.
• 9:28
  Opti, it's St. Yes, I'm, I'm reformed now I'm
• 9:31
  reformed. It's.
• 9:31
  St. No.
• 9:32
  But on another note I mean I'll be obviously love Dom.
• 9:35
  There's going to be a great conversation get some cool
• 9:37
  updates and I think a a theme on today's show considering the
• 9:43
  Buchelle news and the JP Morgan Binance stuff.
• 9:46
  It's becoming very obvious that the lies coming out from what's
• 9:50
  the name that we like to use the the the corporate class you know
• 9:54
  the the the quote UN quote elites up there their lies are
• 9:58
  being exposed in real time and I think this move by Buchelle the
• 10:02
  the full transparency of their Bitcoin reserves.
• 10:05
  Like Nico's saying, I I don't I don't think we can underestimate
• 10:09
  the importance of this moment. Like, their lies are completely
• 10:13
  being destroyed and they're no longer going to be able to
• 10:16
  obfuscate those lies. And man, what a crazy time we're
• 10:19
  in. And then on another note, I did
• 10:21
  hang out at a Bitcoin meet up last night shouts out to the
• 10:24
  Dallas meet up at the Dust Dunston steakhouse.
• 10:27
  No, Gary wasn't there. But I had a bunch of cool
• 10:29
  conversations with a bunch of cool people.
• 10:31
  Really. Actually.
• 10:32
  You know sometimes you just like chat and get bullish about
• 10:34
  Bitcoin. But man, I was having having
• 10:37
  some great conversations about Bitcoin fitting into the
• 10:41
  traditional financial world and how you might need to think
• 10:45
  about this. So I I can't wait to get back
• 10:47
  there and and continue those conversations because for for
• 10:50
  for once in a minute, you know sometimes you talk with
• 10:52
  Bitcoiners and you're like you're kind of rehashing the
• 10:55
  same conversations. Like this one was like out.
• 10:57
  I sat there and was like, oh man.
• 10:59
  All right. Like, all right this is cool.
• 11:01
  Like this is a new this is a new Ave.
• 11:03
  So shouts out to everyone out last night.
• 11:06
  You know got a good stay got got an old Fashioned or two.

  Let's check it out. Here we go the Bitcoin numbers.
• 13:10
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 13:12
  Is your seed phrase really secure?
• 13:15
  Stamp seeds? Do it yourself.
• 13:17
  Kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
• 13:20
  commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
• 13:25
  paper. Don't store your generational
• 13:27
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 13:31
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 13:33
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 13:36
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 13:39
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 13:42
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 13:45
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 13:48
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 13:51
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 13:54
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 13:57
  time proof. All things that paper is not
• 13:59
  allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for
• 14:03
  the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp Seed.
• 14:06
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, I made it super easy for you
• 14:09
  guys. You could scan the QR code, you
• 14:11
  could literally pull up your phone right now and you could
• 14:14
  scan the QR code, take you directly to the Stamp Seed
• 14:16
  website where you can use promo code simply to get 15% off and
• 14:22
  look. You know, Dom's a firefighter.
• 14:25
  You know, he could tell you fires are dangerous, they could
• 14:28
  burn your seed phrase. But you know, if you store your
• 14:30
  seed phrase on titanium, you know it's gonna the fires gonna
• 14:34
  have a hard time anyways. At the time of recording, the
• 14:36
  Bitcoin price is 67,920 SATS per dollar.
• 14:40
  One over Nico. It's done.
• 14:44
  It's pack it up, it's pack it up.
• 14:45
  We're changing the name. Simply Fiat.
• 14:48
  Anyways, at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is
• 14:50
  67,920 sats per dollar 1417. It's so over like bro like like
• 14:59
  50K like 2 weeks ago. I'm like dude, I I want this
• 15:02
  thing to keep going down man. I want those cheaper sats dude
• 15:05
  this run up is way too fast Anyways OK so block height at
• 15:10
  the time of recording 834,820 blocks to having 5180 having
• 15:15
  estimate April 19th 2024 Total lightning network capacity 4401
• 15:21
  Bitcoin capacity value 298 million U.S. dollars.
• 15:25
  Realize monetary inflation 1.74%.
• 15:29
  The market capitalization of Bitcoin currently sitting pretty
• 15:32
  at 1.33 trillion U.S. dollars. That is trillion with AT and the
• 15:37
  Bitcoin versus gold markup. Under 10% is an opportunity for
• 15:40
  you guys to stack 9.67%. You know it's kind of
• 15:44
  bittersweet when Bitcoin pumps and with Bitcoin dumps when when
• 15:48
  it when it dumps you. Like bro, I wish I had more
• 15:50
  Fiat. This is great.
• 15:51
  It's cheaper and then when it pumps you're like God like okay.
• 15:55
  I'm wealthier, but like, dude, like I wanted.
• 15:57
  I wanted more time to stack. Anyways, so this is the breaking
• 16:01
  news. I wanted to cover it right off
• 16:03
  the rip in the number segment. This is a historic moment,
• 16:06
  ladies and gentlemen. I cannot emphasize this enough.
• 16:10
  This is like, this will be in the history books, ladies and
• 16:14
  gentlemen, because I truly believe that in the future, this
• 16:17
  is how things will work. This is how things will work on
• 16:21
  a Bitcoin standard. Transparency.
• 16:24
  And you know people aren't doing this name, but Kelly isn't doing
• 16:27
  this out of the goodnesses of his heart.
• 16:29
  Again, Bitcoin has an aligned incentive structure model.
• 16:34
  Miners aren't doing this out of the goodness of their heart.
• 16:37
  Node runners aren't doing this out of the goodness of their
• 16:40
  heart. They're all doing it to protect
• 16:43
  their stack or to make profit, right?
• 16:45
  But the beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that everything that
• 16:48
  you contribute to the network makes network stronger,
• 16:51
  therefore making your stack worth more, right?
• 16:55
  The Fiat system doesn't work that way.
• 16:57
  It's a misaligned incentive structure.
• 16:59
  So you have, you know, the crazy shenanigans that we, you know,
• 17:03
  that we saw in the last century, in the beginning of this
• 17:05
  century, the endless wars, the crazy wealth redistribution
• 17:10
  mechanism of Fiat. All right.
• 17:12
  Literally taking from the lower in the middle classes, the
• 17:16
  working class, and redistributing it back to the
• 17:18
  government and back to the 1% because, you know, it's sorry,
• 17:21
  back to the wealthy. Because the wealthier, the ones
• 17:23
  that hold the lion's share of the assets, which tend to rise
• 17:28
  when they print money. And it's not necessarily true
• 17:30
  that those assets are actually increasing in value.
• 17:34
  It's just that it's they're just indications of how much Fiat is
• 17:38
  losing, is losing purchasing power.
• 17:41
  So yeah, man, this is this is crazy.
• 17:44
  Shout out to Diane Boucale, the philosopher king, as in in his
• 17:49
  Twitter bio. And he was retweeting everyone
• 17:51
  and their mother who you know who quote, tweeted this.
• 17:54
  But you know this is a brave step.
• 17:56
  This is a step in the right direction.
• 17:58
  And again, I I if I swear to God if I see someone, a legacy media
• 18:03
  article or a politician lecture El Salvador, if you don't do
• 18:08
  this, shut the F up. Like, shut up right.
• 18:12
  Anyways, so he said we've decided to transfer a big chunk
• 18:15
  of our Bitcoin to to a cold wallet and store that cold
• 18:18
  wallet in a physical vault within our national territory.
• 18:21
  You can call it our first Bitcoin Piggy Bank.
• 18:24
  It's not much, but it's honest work.
• 18:27
  He literally puts the screenshot of the address of the amount of
• 18:32
  Bitcoin and then the US dollar equivalent of that Bitcoin,
• 18:35
  which is roughly half a billion dollars, which is a lot of money
• 18:38
  of course. And again, this is in stark
• 18:43
  contrast with, you know, what's what's currently happening in
• 18:47
  the rest of the world. OK, fine.
• 18:49
  You can give them the you can, you see, you can give them the
• 18:51
  benefit of the doubt. You can't do that with gold.
• 18:54
  You know, you say OK gold's, you know, it's it's physical, it's
• 18:57
  heavy. You can't have that.
• 18:59
  But I mean, look, I I think like, OK, so check this out and
• 19:04
  and we'll get into the back story of Fort Knox, right?
• 19:08
  Like, compare this picture, right.
• 19:10
  There's a lot of gold in here, believe us to this, right?
• 19:16
  Just literally the address, the amount.
• 19:19
  You can't take it. You can see it, but you can't
• 19:21
  take it. And then compare this to this,
• 19:24
  which is just like, trust us. And it's literally like a huge
• 19:28
  Fort with like multiple fences, like armed security guards, a
• 19:33
  Humvee in front and they're like, yes, there's a bunch of
• 19:36
  gold in there. You can trust us, essentially.
• 19:39
  So this is what I said yesterday when Naimbu Kele tweeted his
• 19:41
  historic tweet. I said if El Salvador can be
• 19:43
  transparent with their reserves, why can't the United States
• 19:46
  government? Why can't we see the gold?
• 19:49
  And then I go, I went on to say, did you know that the last time
• 19:51
  Fort Knox was audited was in 1974?
• 19:54
  Right. But if you, if you search this
• 19:56
  on Google, say, OK, Fort Knox is actually audited every year.
• 19:58
  Yeah, but 1974 was the last time.
• 20:02
  There's been actual visual evidence right?
• 20:05
  And the one of the only they only showed one vault, right And
• 20:09
  it was it was a it was a video to be fair.
• 20:11
  But this is a kind of a picture of that video right?
• 20:15
  So you they only they were only allowed to see one vault.
• 20:18
  And now and compare and contrast that with this complete and
• 20:21
  total transparency verse like a a court.
• 20:25
  This is a democratically elected government that is supposed to
• 20:29
  represent the people and they're like, oh, trust us, but there's
• 20:33
  more to the story, right. And it all kind of Internet
• 20:36
  interconnects. Bitcoiners are very familiar
• 20:39
  with the 6102 order. We all know about it.
• 20:41
  We're all very familiar about it.
• 20:43
  Well, Fort Knox was built for a very particular reason, right?
• 20:48
  So this was built by FDR. I'm sure some bitcoiners already
• 20:52
  know where I'm going with this for a single reason.
• 20:55
  Let's check it out. When President FD when President
• 20:58
  Franklin Roosevelt ordered Americans in 1933 to surrender
• 21:02
  their gold to the government, he suddenly found suddenly found he
• 21:05
  needed a place to put all those millions of gold coins.
• 21:09
  Roosevelt's infamous Executive Order 6102 gave Americans one
• 21:14
  month to give up their gold pocket change and gave FDR the
• 21:18
  ability to print and spend all the money he liked.
• 21:21
  It was viewed suspiciously and was wildly unpopular, but it was
• 21:25
  largely obeyed. Millions of gold coins were
• 21:28
  dutifully taken to banks by bewildered but patriotic
• 21:32
  Americans to trade for their paper dollars.
• 21:35
  Construction for the massive fortress that would become so
• 21:39
  much part of American legend and lore began in 1936 and took a
• 21:43
  year. Beginning in January 1937, train
• 21:46
  loads of American gold under the guard guard of armed soldiers
• 21:50
  arrived in Kentucky Fort Knox to store away what was still
• 21:54
  relatively called the nations gold.
• 21:57
  At the Boxcars Boxcars gold was unloaded into vaults behind
• 22:01
  20,200 cubic feet of granite and concrete and 22 ton door.
• 22:06
  It would be. It would be with few, with few
• 22:09
  exceptions, the last time Americans had any glimpse of the
• 22:12
  same gold they carried in their pant pockets a few years
• 22:16
  earlier, Right? That's crazy, isn't it?
• 22:19
  Like, think about that for a second, right?
• 22:22
  We all know about Fort Knox. Did you know that Fort Knox was
• 22:25
  connected to the six one O 2 order?
• 22:26
  Did you guys know that this was purposely built to take to put
• 22:30
  all the money that was stolen? I mean, that's a strong word,
• 22:33
  but I'm going to say it, and they put it in this fortress and
• 22:38
  no one ever saw it again. Basically, the question of the
• 22:42
  the questions on the minds of American taxpayers and a high
• 22:45
  number of congressmen is whether or not Fort Knox still has the
• 22:48
  gold stored for safekeeping 80 years ago.
• 22:52
  Those questions abound. For one particular reason, the
• 22:56
  US government refuses to talk about the gold.
• 22:59
  So think about this for a second.
• 23:02
  Apparently, this is the people's gold, right?
• 23:05
  They stole it. They don't want to talk about
• 23:07
  it. They built a giant fucking
• 23:09
  fortress to protect it with armed guards.
• 23:13
  And here you have a Central American country that's
• 23:15
  basically like, yo, here are reserves, bro.
• 23:19
  So again, if the US government or any members of the US
• 23:23
  government are going to like, lecture El Salvador on democracy
• 23:27
  and on this, like shut the F up like I like I I don't I I can't
• 23:33
  even listen to you guys. Anyways, it goes on to say
• 23:35
  American voters in Congress satisfied that Americans gold
• 23:38
  was accounted for, let the matter lay for the next 20
• 23:42
  years. But national debt piling up from
• 23:44
  the Vietnam War and the massive welfare programs of Lyndon
• 23:47
  Johnson's Great Society accompanied with rising oil
• 23:50
  prices in the early 1970s put Americans on edge once again.
• 23:54
  A new spate of concern reached Congress on a Washington
• 23:58
  attorney's book charged 20 billion in gold was missing in a
• 24:02
  popular grocery store tabloid. The national tattler fanned
• 24:06
  public clamor for a new audit of Fort Knox.
• 24:09
  This time the government was ready.
• 24:11
  It would spend a theoretical, theoretical theoretical
• 24:15
  theoretical afternoon showing off some gold without revealing
• 24:20
  anything. The event, September 23rd, 1974,
• 24:25
  is often inaccurately called the Last Audit of Fort Knox.
• 24:28
  It was nothing more than a peekaboo glance at the gold and
• 24:32
  fine Hollywood style. Fort Knox was open on that
• 24:35
  Monday afternoon for about two hours to some 150 reporters and
• 24:39
  glad, glad handling politicians crowding narrow passageways,
• 24:44
  elbowing each other for a few seconds to glance into one of
• 24:47
  four vaulted rooms. Television Newscast Films
• 24:51
  magazine photographs, including the National Tattlers, showed
• 24:54
  various politicians and reporters hoisting and admiring
• 24:58
  400 oz. Bars of gleaming gold.
• 25:00
  Photos and film of that day show smiles all around.
• 25:04
  That was the last time, and it goes on to say not one of not
• 25:09
  one bar of gold was assayed for purity during the 1974 charade.
• 25:13
  Not one serial number was checked against official
• 25:15
  records, and no one counted the bars of gold stacked to the
• 25:19
  ceiling in the one room that was open for inspection.
• 25:22
  Other rooms said to be filled with gold were not open, right?
• 25:26
  So compare and contrast that with this.
• 25:32
  This is the future. This is transparency, This is a
• 25:36
  representative democracy. This is a government right that
• 25:41
  is being transparent with its people.
• 25:43
  And apparently that money right belongs to the people.
• 25:48
  And like I told Cedric yesterday, the historical
• 25:50
  significance of it and when you make something transparent is
• 25:55
  that it's a lot harder to steal things when everyone is looking.
• 25:58
  Got a question for you guys. Why is the US government not
• 26:02
  showing the gold? Why did they only show one room
• 26:06
  back in 1974? Why haven't people been allowed
• 26:11
  to come back since And that giant Fort was literally built
• 26:16
  for the six one O 2 order. How effing crazy is that right.
• 26:20
  So you see where Bitcoin comes into play into all this and one
• 26:23
  of the things also that was mentioned in that like that
• 26:26
  article right quick which was the idea that that that are that
• 26:33
  the the article stated that that Fort Knox was built for gold
• 26:37
  coins. The reality is that most of the
• 26:40
  golds and the reason that FDR was able to get away with the
• 26:43
  six one O 2 order so successfully is that the people
• 26:47
  that held large quantities of gold had it custodied with a
• 26:51
  bank. So really, FDR only had to go to
• 26:54
  a handful of banks to get the vast majority of the gold right?
• 27:00
  This is where Bitcoin is different, Naimbukela is showing
• 27:04
  it and you as an individual have the power to take self custody.
• 27:08
  In fact all of our partners, we choose them very specifically
• 27:12
  for you to empower yourself by taking control, taking over back
• 27:20
  your financial sovereignty through taking Bitcoin into self
• 27:23
  custody so that moments like this in history can never happen
• 27:28
  again. This is absolutely ridiculous.
• 27:31
  Like when I was I, I, I, I, I I had like a kind of knee jerk
• 27:34
  moment yesterday on Twitter. I went absolutely crazy and then
• 27:37
  when I started reading into it, I was like holy shit, Fort Knox
• 27:41
  was literally built for the six one O 2 order.
• 27:45
  They literally built a Fort to house all of the people stolen
• 27:49
  wealth. And then we haven't seen that
• 27:53
  since 1974, right? If you go on Google and you're
• 27:57
  like, oh, OK, no, they audit every I mean, do you trust them,
• 28:00
  Right? You trust them.
• 28:02
  They're like, oh, take my word for it, compare and contrast
• 28:05
  that with what Nayeem Bukele did.
• 28:08
  You don't have to trust him. You can literally see the
• 28:11
  address. It's on chain.
• 28:13
  You can verify it yourself. You have your own node.
• 28:15
  You didn't even have to trust someone else's copy of the
• 28:17
  blockchain. You could trust your copy of the
• 28:19
  blockchain and you will see El Salvador's reserves right there.
• 28:22
  Not moving, right. So anyways, yeah, this is a this
• 28:29
  is a historic moment in history, guys.
• 28:31
  And I think, you know, as time progresses that will become more
• 28:34
  and more and more apparent. And once again, El Salvador, El
• 28:39
  Salvador, setting the standard for the rest of the world.
• 28:43
  Opti. Yeah.
• 28:45
  I mean like I said in the beginning, you know this is an
• 28:48
  unprecedented level of transparency by El Salvador and
• 28:53
  I love that you compared it with the Fort Knox and you know call
• 28:56
  me a conspiracy theorist all you want but I'm of the I lean
• 29:00
  towards the side that there's not as much gold as they claim
• 29:03
  there. And I really love that article
• 29:04
  that you that you were covering. Literally guys they literally
• 29:09
  said proof of smiles like that is what's backing your gold.
• 29:12
  Oh, they were smiling that they know that the gold was there.
• 29:15
  They only saw it for a minute. Who knows what they were
• 29:17
  actually looking at? Was it tungsten painted gold?
• 29:20
  Was it actually gold bars? Obviously they're not able to
• 29:24
  audit all the amount of gold there with a few seconds and
• 29:26
  proof of smiles, but whatever. That's just like Pete Clown
• 29:29
  World and just seeing Bukele expose their, their address with
• 29:35
  their reserves. You know, I know there's a lot
• 29:37
  of talk on Twitter about like proof of reserves as a sham, all
• 29:40
  that good stuff. But again, I think this is
• 29:43
  setting a new standard for every nation state out there that the
• 29:47
  financial trickery that is the status quo now has a mirror to
• 29:51
  it, which is El Salvador. And they're like this is our
• 29:53
  holdings, these are our reserves and you guys can audit it for
• 29:57
  yourselves. And I just love that Bukele was
• 29:59
  memeing it as well in the tweet of like, hey, it may not be
• 30:02
  much, but it's honest work and man, it just the level of
• 30:06
  transparency there is, is absolutely incredible.
• 30:10
  Bukele's a Chad in that regard. And when you compare and
• 30:14
  contrast asset to the traditional financial system or
• 30:16
  rather clown world that we see in the US and in the first world
• 30:20
  quote UN quote, it's really an incredible moment because like
• 30:25
  their lies now have a a literal mirror there in El Salvador.
• 30:29
  It's like look you guys can say all you want about us, but
• 30:33
  here's the truth. Here's the here's the the
• 30:36
  address where you can verify it yourselves.
• 30:38
  And bitcoins have been saying that this would happen for a
• 30:40
  long time and I know the the Bitcoin meme of like you're not
• 30:43
  supposed to share your holdings but guys it's a nation state.
• 30:46
  Like it's the people's money that this level of transparency
• 30:49
  is a good thing. But one of the things that I
• 30:52
  think is going to be very interesting is to see the
• 30:55
  technicals of actually how they work this out.
• 30:58
  You know, are they going to be using a multi SIG?
• 31:00
  How is this vault that they're protected?
• 31:01
  Is it just going to be like a, you know, a cold card or a
• 31:04
  passport in there just like a single one or like multi sig set
• 31:08
  up? It's.
• 31:09
  This. It's this.
• 31:10
  OK, so this is what it looks like I'm telling you right now,
• 31:12
  right? So it's a combination of like
• 31:15
  their their cold storage. It's like this, Okay, and
• 31:18
  there's a single vault in the middle of the room, and it's
• 31:22
  guarded by two armed guards, right?
• 31:24
  And a giant portrait of Naeem Bouquet behind it.
• 31:28
  And there's. Like a statue.
• 31:30
  It's like a glass. Bowl, and there's like a single
• 31:33
  Passport Foundation hardware wallet sitting right there in
• 31:37
  the middle. Yeah.
• 31:39
  Well, yeah, that's the interesting part though.
• 31:41
  Like obviously you think they do a multi sig setup or something
• 31:45
  of that nature, but it's going to be very interesting to see
• 31:48
  them. It's not.
• 31:49
  I just described it to you. I know, I know, I know.
• 31:52
  But let's be honest, insider information, OK?
• 31:55
  OK, you know, insider insider information on those.
• 31:58
  But it's going to be very interesting to see how this
• 32:00
  plays out. Not not only like the multi sig
• 32:02
  setup or you know, single sig with a password, but it's going
• 32:06
  to be super interesting to see them experiment on like them
• 32:10
  securing their cold storage and then see how other nations learn
• 32:14
  from El Salvador. And again, you know, like El
• 32:18
  Salvador is a democracy. So it's going to be very
• 32:20
  interesting when there is a new president, how this is going to
• 32:23
  be handled, how the keys are going to be passed on.
• 32:25
  Is it going to be, you know, like both parties, you know,
• 32:29
  holding keys, Like there's a lot of technicals here that I think
• 32:33
  it's very interesting. And I'm, yeah, unprecedented
• 32:36
  levels. It's true, I 100% agree.
• 32:39
  But the fact that it's it's there, It's trying.
• 32:41
  I agree, and I totally agree. Soon as there's Bitcoin going
• 32:44
  out of that address, there's accountability now. 100%.
• 32:48
  There's like, ohh wow. So the funds are moving.
• 32:50
  Were they moving too right? Anyways, Dom, what's your take?
• 32:54
  On this, wait, wait. Before we go though, shouts out
• 32:56
  to all the bit corners that were sending Sats to that address as
• 32:59
  well. Like, it's absolutely
• 33:01
  incredible. They're like, oh, here's the
• 33:03
  address within like, I think minute people were sending
• 33:06
  Bitcoin to El Salvador. It's just incredible.
• 33:08
  Like bit corners crack me up. Yeah, 100%.
• 33:12
  Anyways, Dom, what's your take on all this, brother?
• 33:16
  So many, so many different thoughts come to mind, but I'm
• 33:18
  going to give you a couple off the bat.
• 33:19
  Number one, you, you have the picture up there, Nico of Fort
• 33:23
  Knox. And the story here which you
• 33:25
  articulated so well, is this is outdated technology, a giant
• 33:30
  building with barbed wire, militarized vehicles and and
• 33:34
  military and all these things. It's outdated and that's because
• 33:38
  gold is outdated technology. So they are guarding, it'd be
• 33:42
  like if we had a huge building guarding a fax machine, like
• 33:46
  it's just, you know, what's the point.
• 33:48
  This is on its way out. Obviously that's, you know, gold
• 33:52
  still has value, but but it will not keep pace with the world
• 33:56
  moving forward. And that's insane.
• 33:58
  And that that's what makes this so massive that El Salvador and
• 34:02
  Bouquet Lee are ahead of schedule on this and capturing
• 34:07
  this new tech and using it for the best of their country and
• 34:10
  their folks. So that's unbelievable.
• 34:13
  My second thought is man, so amazing for you know, like Max
• 34:18
  and Stacy. You know who obviously were
• 34:21
  pivotal and getting to this point, I I just envisioned Max
• 34:24
  looking at this tweet going. I used to I used to tip cab
• 34:29
  drivers this amount of Bitcoin in New York City.
• 34:32
  You know back in in in 2010 or 2000, 2011 and to to watch this
• 34:38
  story arc and actually a pretty short time if you can if you
• 34:42
  think about you know 2011 Max is tipping taxi drivers 5000
• 34:46
  Bitcoin and Fast forward to 2024 and a sovereign nation holds
• 34:52
  that amount which doesn't represent the entire amount of
• 34:55
  Bitcoin they have but as you said is now you know a great
• 35:00
  foundation for the country and they're utilizing the tech and
• 35:03
  showing that transparency. So that's awesome.
• 35:05
  The third thing, which is more of a sad note for me is I own a
• 35:09
  actual bouquet Lee Piggy Bank that I bought in El Salvador
• 35:14
  that has a slot in the top of the head.
• 35:16
  But I was doing some work in the house and it broke.
• 35:19
  So this is a sad but also hopeful for me because it's very
• 35:23
  symbolic. My Fiat Piggy Bank broke, but
• 35:26
  now you know you have this, this new Piggy Bank of the future
• 35:29
  emerging. So very cool story and again you
• 35:33
  have to give El Salvador all the props and like like Nico said,
• 35:36
  if you're not being as transparent and using tech which
• 35:39
  makes it possible to be transparent with funds, you
• 35:42
  really should hold your opinion to yourself as a as a nation
• 35:47
  ours. Absolute signal from Dom.
• 35:50

• 39:06
  cutting you off. Appreciate it.
• 39:07
  No, no, no. It's all good.
• 39:08
  No, I mean the Super chats justify cutting people off.
• 39:12
  OK, you heard it here. First, you can cut Niko off.
• 39:14
  Should we? Should we Should we create like
• 39:16
  a? We should have like a like?
• 39:20
  That's not the right sound. Yeah, there we.
• 39:22
  Go. There we go.
• 39:23
  There we go. OK, let's, let's, let's, let's
• 39:26
  try that again, OK? All right, guys, we got a super
• 39:29
  chat from this. Sounds good, right?
• 39:31
  That's good. That's.
• 39:32
  Good. It sounds good.
• 39:34
  It sounds good. It sounds good.
• 39:36
  We got a super chat from Dom all right.
• 39:38
  OK anyways, so quick ETF update. The BlackRock ETF currently
• 39:43
  holds 22,000. Sorry, 20, two, 2200, two.
• 39:48
  I don't know what It's fucking Friday, guys.
• 39:50
  I'm sorry. 228. Nico Nico's a new dad.
• 39:54
  Nico's a new dad with a three-week old and is running on
• 39:57
  Vegas sleep right now. As you could tell guys, I have
• 40:00
  nots left anyways, so yes, I'm not even going to try it again.
• 40:04
  Fidelity currently holds 132,000 Bitcoin and compare that with
• 40:10
  Michael Saylor, 205,000 Bitcoin. But this man keeps raising
• 40:15
  Bitcoin. He's found the IT.
• 40:16
  Sorry, keep raising money. He found the infinite money
• 40:19
  glitch. And I suspect Michael Sailor's
• 40:22
  stack will continue to grow. He wants to hit that 1%, which
• 40:26
  is 210,000 Bitcoin. Did we lose him?
• 40:35
  Might have been a little freeze frame right there.
• 40:38
  Or is he frozen? For you think he's frozen for
• 40:40
  me. Nico.
• 40:40
  Nico. We lost you.
• 40:41
  We lost you. Come back to the light.
• 40:45
  Come to the light. They cut off his Internet again.
• 40:50
  Hey, but we're still running live, dude.
• 40:51
  There's Hey, what's up? Yeah, so.
• 40:53
  So check it out. There's your quick update.
• 40:56
  Now you got you cut. Off for a moment.
• 40:58
  You you were lagging. Still lagging.
• 41:09
  Wow, we do this live. Hey, we run it live and you
• 41:14
  know, it just happens so all. Right.
• 41:17
  Let's let me see if we can pull them off real quick.
• 41:21
  Pull them back into the light Opti.
• 41:23
  In the meantime, Lummus was just going to talk about how she's
• 41:25
  anti CBDC. Yeah, Nico, you're let's see,
• 41:30
  he's done. He's out of here.
• 41:34
  Wow. Mid show.
• 41:37
  Hey, things happen, you know, It's like, it's like in The
• 41:40
  Godfather when Michael Corleone comes back and they say, hey,
• 41:42
  you're the dawn now, you know, so it's.
• 41:44
  Like you're the dawn. Opti bro, you know.
• 41:46
  I mean, I don't I I don't even completely forgot what he was
• 41:49
  gonna, what he was gonna cover. So let's see what's going on.
• 41:52
  He was. He was on ETFs.
• 41:54
  The massive flows the fact. That he he just, yeah, like can
• 41:57
  we talk about the Sailor stuff again?
• 41:59
  I know we've been covering it all week.
• 42:01
  He'll pop in right now. But like it's so interesting
• 42:05
  just watching Sailor be like, I'm going to get to 1% I'm not
• 42:08
  going to let Black Rock win here.
• 42:10
  And then the the the discrepancy between the, what's it the
• 42:16
  Fidelity ETF and the Black Rock ETF.
• 42:19
  Like, dude, BlackRock is just scooping up all of the coins and
• 42:26
  they're they're dude, they're winning the pack.
• 42:28
  They're absolutely winning the pack.
• 42:31
  Yeah, the ETFs, you know, as we've seen in the numbers, they
• 42:36
  have insanely exceeded expectations and the interest
• 42:41
  stays consistent. And so and then and then you
• 42:45
  have Sailor who's like, all right, you know, you guys want
• 42:47
  to raise me one, like I'll raise you one right back.
• 42:50
  We're going back to stacking more.
• 42:53
  I'm wondering how long until Sailor starts building an AI
• 42:56
  program to do interviews 'cause you can, I'm starting to see,
• 43:00
  you know, that Lat, the interview you guys started the
• 43:02
  show off with the with the gal who was like, but come on
• 43:04
  Michael. People buy assets to sell them.
• 43:07
  You see in the eyes like the light just go out and he goes,
• 43:10
  OK, I was trying to be technical on this, but now I'm going to
• 43:13
  just switch, OK? We have a name for people that
• 43:16
  say with Pi. We call them poor.
• 43:18
  All right. You know, I'm going to, I'm
• 43:19
  going to do a hard pivot right here.
• 43:21
  Let's jump into the culture with Dom so we can continue the
• 43:23
  conversation, guys. Nico will pop in and then we'll,
• 43:26
  if he pops back in, we'll finish with the news.
• 43:28
  So let's go into the culture, the daily culture.
• 43:40
  All right, guys, hold on, hold on.
• 43:41
  I'm I'm doing everything real time so that we can get
• 43:44
  everything going. Since Nico didn't pay his
• 43:47
  Internet bill or whatever, first and foremost you already know
• 43:50
  the deal. Kaboom racks.
• 43:53
  Go to kaboomracks.com, join the Telegram group, the best place
• 43:57
  to buy, sell and host your ASICS.
• 44:00
  If you're thinking about mining Bitcoin, get in touch with the
• 44:03
  Kaboom Racks team because they will tell you everything you
• 44:06
  need to know in regards to whether this is the best time to
• 44:10
  be buying a six, whether you should get into mining Bitcoin.
• 44:14
  Excuse me? Jeez.
• 44:17
  Dying over here, the team is, in my opinion, one of the best.
• 44:21
  All right, next thing Shouts out the Bitcoin evangelism.
• 44:23
  Shouts out to our boy Brian de Mint.
• 44:26
  We are on the mission to evangelize the world.
• 44:28
  We have millions of people to Orange Pill.
• 44:31
  Get the book. It's one of the best books so
• 44:33
  that you can have the talking point so that you know what to
• 44:35
  say to your normie friends when they try to flood Bitcoin.
• 44:39
  Scan the QR codes. You already know the deal.
• 44:41
  Let's get into the culture with Dom so that we can keep the show
• 44:44
  going. Considering that Nico got naked
• 44:46
  right now live. They cut his Internet.
• 44:48
  He just DM me. They cut his Internet.
• 44:51
  Let's see. All right, he said.
• 44:52
  Give me a second. All right, so, Dom, actually,
• 44:55
  let's go. Let's go here first for a
• 44:57
  second. If people don't know what you're
• 45:00
  working on, let's start with what is proof of workforce?
• 45:04
  What is the goal that you've been doing?
• 45:06
  What is everything going on with you?
• 45:08
  Oh, is he bad? OK, Nico, I I pivoted.
• 45:11
  We're going to do the culture. We're going to do the culture
• 45:12
  real quick. And then we'll go back to the
• 45:13
  news. Yeah.
• 45:14
  Did you play? No, no, all good.
• 45:15
  Did you play the transition? Yeah, yeah, we're we're in the
• 45:18
  culture. So for the people that don't
• 45:21
  know what is proof of workforce, what is your goal?
• 45:25
  And then we'll update them on how it's been going and some of
• 45:28
  the stuff you've been tweeting lately.
• 45:30
  Yeah, thank you. So I I know I've had the the
• 45:33
  great fortune of being on here before and some of your
• 45:35
  listeners may be familiar of with proof of Workforce but I'm
• 45:39
  going to do a brief overview for those who aren't.
• 45:42
  Proof of workforce is a non profit that was born out of the
• 45:45
  idea to assist the Santa Monica firefighters and becoming the
• 45:49
  first union in the nation to hold Bitcoin on the balance
• 45:53
  sheet in self custody with no third party from that the
• 45:57
  nonprofit came to be and our mission is very simple.
• 46:01
  We want to provide no cost resources.
• 46:04
  We know that it's a very complex field out there for people that
• 46:07
  are looking to bring Bitcoin to their organization and it's hard
• 46:11
  to figure out like who can, you know, where do we get quality
• 46:14
  resources? You know, proof of workforce is
• 46:17
  a nonprofit. We have no product to sell, we
• 46:19
  have no fees to charge. We don't care where you end up,
• 46:23
  you know buying Bitcoin, holding Bitcoin, we just give you solid
• 46:26
  information. And so our mission is to help
• 46:29
  bitcoiners, and even in some cases non coiners that become
• 46:32
  bitcoiners bring Bitcoin to their organizations, whether it
• 46:37
  be a union, a pension fund, a municipality organization, But
• 46:43
  focus on the workforce because workers are most vulnerable to
• 46:47
  inflation. They trade their time for money
• 46:49
  in the short term and they also trade their time for money in
• 46:53
  the long term with retirement and things like that.
• 46:55
  So we want to give you resources to have the best chance to bring
• 46:59
  Bitcoin to your organization. So we work with tons of Labor
• 47:03
  unions, cities, pension funds. We're even working abroad with
• 47:08
  some folks. Now anyone that's trying to
• 47:10
  bring Bitcoin to their organization, we're here to
• 47:13
  assist with that. So that is proof of workforce.
• 47:16
  Love it, Dom. OK, now let me pull up this
• 47:19
  tweet here that I was going to play earlier.
• 47:22
  I I saw this tweet yesterday. Or when you when you tweet this
• 47:25
  two days ago and it's it's very interesting considering we are
• 47:29
  in an election season. Of course you're working in
• 47:32
  America. We we are American centric.
• 47:34
  But I think this is one of those good framings for everyone out
• 47:38
  there when we're talking about how to best represent Bitcoin.
• 47:41
  And here's Dom's tweet many Americans haven't yet made the
• 47:44
  connection on how Bitcoin adoption addresses their biggest
• 47:47
  concerns going into 24 election. Thanks to bitcoiners, many
• 47:50
  people are figuring it out every day and I don't know where you
• 47:53
  got this, this voter issues. What would you call this graph
• 47:57
  here. But look at what number one is
• 47:59
  guys, 20% on inflation for the most important issues for voters
• 48:03
  in the US So add that with everything else we're seeing
• 48:06
  going on. We also saw this you know
• 48:08
  Arizona State Senate considering adding Bitcoin ETFs to their
• 48:11
  retirement portfolios. You even are showing that
• 48:15
  Pennsylvania employees pension range and private equity
• 48:18
  commitment plans. Guys, there is a solution to
• 48:21
  this and maybe it's just getting into Bitcoin, maybe it's just
• 48:25
  stacking some Bitcoin for your retirement.
• 48:27
  So connecting all that together, Dom, what's going on here?
• 48:30
  Are we going to see some exciting names coming out in Q2
• 48:33
  of this year? Like what have you been seeing
• 48:35
  on the ground? Yeah, so the original poll that
• 48:40
  you showed was a 2024 poll ranking the issues for American
• 48:45
  voters going into the presidential election of what's
• 48:47
  most important to them. The reason I started looking
• 48:50
  into this is, as you know, Biden has reintroduced the 30% excise
• 48:55
  tax on mining. Now while I look at this as
• 48:59
  being a bargaining chip, I stop and I ask myself why?
• 49:03
  Why is why are they even allowed to use this as a bargaining chip
• 49:07
  right like because for us it's a non starter.
• 49:10
  We know how bad a 30% tax would be on miners and and what it
• 49:14
  would do to the mining industry in the US which is leading right
• 49:17
  now in the world. And then you start to look at
• 49:21
  the consequence of doing something like this.
• 49:23
  And so you know adoption is going well.
• 49:27
  We have more bitcoiners around the country every day, but
• 49:32
  elected officials still enjoy the luxury of having Bitcoin not
• 49:37
  not poll as a top five issue, and therefore they can use
• 49:41
  things like a mining tax to try to get concessions from the
• 49:45
  other side of the aisle. Who maybe cares more about
• 49:48
  mining or has more lobbyists, you know, in their ear on
• 49:51
  mining. The funny thing is, is that
• 49:54
  while Bitcoin isn't a top five issue on polling, if you pull up
• 49:57
  that that image, it's directly correlated to all the top
• 50:03
  issues, including the number one issue, which is inflation,
• 50:06
  prices and the economy. It's just that Bitcoin Americans
• 50:11
  need to get they they're on their way there, right?
• 50:13
  You guys can feel it. I can feel it right now that
• 50:16
  they're getting close to figuring out, Oh my gosh,
• 50:18
  there's something wrong with our money and and and there's a
• 50:22
  limited time until that that gap closes where people go, yeah, my
• 50:27
  #1 issue voting is inflation. And I also know that our money
• 50:31
  is broken and bitcoins a better option.
• 50:33
  So don't try to introduce some, you know, devastating mining
• 50:38
  taxes, a bargaining chip or you'll lose my vote completely
• 50:41
  just even for introducing it. That's where we need to get.
• 50:45
  That's where I think all of us are working really hard to get
• 50:47
  people there. So I thought this was really
• 50:49
  interesting. Some of the other things on
• 50:51
  their healthcare, which we know has heavy foundations of its
• 50:55
  biggest problems because of the Fiat system.
• 50:57
  You go to the emergency room and you get a bill for like a
• 51:00
  Band-Aid cost you $20,000. But you're, you know what?
• 51:03
  What the hell is going on here? Jobs in the economy, right?
• 51:08
  The the list goes on. Even the environment, right?
• 51:11
  With Bitcoin, in my opinion, being able to do more for
• 51:14
  renewable energy, then you know, California has this goal for
• 51:19
  renewable energy and they're not going to achieve it.
• 51:22
  Bitcoin can help close that gap and achieve some of these goals.
• 51:25
  So Bitcoin is for everyone, They just need to find it.
• 51:28
  Pension funds are warming up to this.
• 51:30
  I saw someone in the comments that said oh Houston was the
• 51:33
  first to add Bitcoin. They added Bitcoin to their
• 51:37
  balance sheet. Their a pension.
• 51:39
  They didn't do it in self custody.
• 51:41
  They had a third party custodian.
• 51:43
  The Santa Monica firefighters was a fund and we were the first
• 51:47
  to put it in self custody on our fund.
• 51:49
  So I was just addressing that real quick.
• 51:51
  Arizona passed a resolution setting a hard deadline of
• 51:55
  calling for a comprehensive report on ways that Bitcoin can
• 51:59
  serve their pension state pension system.
• 52:02
  So that is going to be delivered before the next quarter.
• 52:04
  We're seeing. We're using that as fuel to hit
• 52:08
  other states. I, I text, you know, I I
• 52:10
  messaged some folks in other pension system saying well looks
• 52:13
  like you're not going to be the first anymore but will you be
• 52:16
  the last question mark? I I don't know, you know, I
• 52:19
  don't maybe some states will be the 50th to get on board and and
• 52:23
  they will do it. So it's slow.
• 52:25
  The pension systems are slow to move.
• 52:28
  There's a lot of you know complexity and moving parts but
• 52:31
  they are coming around. They have a vehicle with the ETF
• 52:35
  and Bitcoin once again proving that it is not dead.
• 52:39
  Just like it will prove in this whatever small little tiny drop
• 52:43
  that people will focus on, It is not dead.
• 52:46
  It is the most resilient tech out there.
• 52:50
  People are finally starting to to ask, maybe the New York Times
• 52:55
  was wrong. You know, maybe these mainstream
• 52:57
  media outlets just, I don't know, they had a different
• 53:00
  agenda because this thing is not dead like they said 1000 times
• 53:04
  before. So really great things that
• 53:06
  we're seeing in our work in the space.
• 53:09
  Love it and and can you tell the people about the the Santa
• 53:13
  Monica's treasury and how it's outperforming everything and and
• 53:18
  that just like how hyped you are that you actually forced that
• 53:21
  move to happen or it incentivize that move to happen.
• 53:24
  Yeah. So, so most workforce
• 53:27
  organizations and unions etcetera, they keep a reserve
• 53:29
  fund and they keep this for kind of a rainy day, right, In case
• 53:33
  something happens, maybe they go on strike, who knows what what's
• 53:37
  going to happen. But they have funds there.
• 53:40
  The problem is, is they've traditionally kept these funds
• 53:43
  just holding cash, which as we know are getting wrecked from
• 53:47
  inflation. So by the time they need these
• 53:49
  monies, they don't. They buy you a Tacoma truck and
• 53:53
  meanwhile you needed this massive amount of money to get
• 53:55
  you out of this situation and you can't do much with it.
• 53:57
  So what we did was take a make a small allocation to Bitcoin, put
• 54:03
  it on the reserve balance sheet and of course, look, it's not,
• 54:07
  it's not time in the market, it's time in the market and we
• 54:10
  still have little time in the market.
• 54:12
  This is a long term play, but in just four months we surpassed
• 54:17
  the percentage yield gained from you know high interest CDs. 15
• 54:22
  years worth of yield percentages gained in four months with
• 54:24
  Bitcoin at a smaller percentage in real dollars because we've
• 54:28
  always allocated more to like safer high yield CDs.
• 54:33
  At least six to seven years of actual dollars for a much higher
• 54:38
  allocation to like a something like ACD surpassed in just four
• 54:42
  months. Amazing.
• 54:44
  So now Bitcoin represents a large part of the reserve and
• 54:48
  even if inflation gets, you know, significantly worse, the
• 54:52
  reason we have the money will be able to carry out that goal or
• 54:58
  that mission of doing what it needs to do.
• 55:00
  When that time comes, we don't have to worry about depleting
• 55:02
  our funds from inflation. And we did it with a
• 55:07
  conservative amount where if Bitcoin were to go drop
• 55:10
  significantly, it would not impact also our ability to, you
• 55:14
  know, serve the membership. So this is massive and we're
• 55:17
  just looking at it the other day going like, oh, you know, that,
• 55:21
  you know, we were like, when does the other CD come to term,
• 55:24
  you know? But again, we still have to be
• 55:26
  responsible. I still think for organizations
• 55:30
  the investment cannot outpace the education because then you
• 55:33
  switch to gambling instead of utilizing Bitcoin as a long term
• 55:37
  asset to benefit the members. Amazing.
• 55:41
  Amazing. All right, let's let's pivot a
• 55:43
  little bit. Dom, you guys are doing a proof
• 55:46
  of work for spaces tonight. Are you going to be updating
• 55:49
  them on what you're working on? The ground you you were just
• 55:51
  telling me you're going to be talking at the policy summit,
• 55:55
  you're going to California to talk to some pensions, You might
• 55:57
  even be out of state talking to people.
• 56:00
  So what's going on? What are you guys going to be
• 56:01
  talking about? Yeah, Today we're doing a new
• 56:04
  Friday spaces that we do every day at 11.
• 56:07
  It's called Payday Friday with proof of workforce.
• 56:10
  Luckily, the market's shown us some love so that we can get,
• 56:13
  you know, when everyone getting their paycheck this Friday can
• 56:15
  get a little more sats than they thought they would a few days
• 56:18
  ago. Oh yeah.
• 56:19
  We do a little brief news rundown of things that are, you
• 56:23
  know, pertaining to the wage earner in the realm of Bitcoin
• 56:27
  throughout the the country and the world.
• 56:30
  Today we're going to talk about the concept of how do
• 56:34
  individuals navigate potentially taking you know utilizing the
• 56:38
  gains they've made in Bitcoin but holding on to their Bitcoin
• 56:42
  how to avoid like over leveraging getting into bad
• 56:46
  situations with trying to borrow against your Bitcoin utilizing
• 56:51
  you know we know that the the the Celsius is of the world you
• 56:55
  know and and the block fives will re emerge like and so how
• 56:59
  do you navigate that and protect yourself and and be very wary of
• 57:02
  of losing your Bitcoin. So we're talking about that and
• 57:07
  we're also going to have, I don't know if you guys know the
• 57:09
  folks from smart vaults on, but we're going to talk about vault
• 57:12
  solutions for organizations. So if you have an organization
• 57:16
  like a workforce organization, a union or even a church or
• 57:19
  something like that, we're going to talk some exciting stuff
• 57:22
  about what vault solutions are out there that fit an
• 57:25
  organization that has board members, multi signatories
• 57:29
  etcetera to safely self custody your Bitcoin.
• 57:32
  So we'll do that and then of course we'll give an update on
• 57:35
  stuff that we're doing. We are going to DC for the
• 57:39
  Bitcoin Policy Institute Summit going to be presenting at Bit
• 57:43
  Block Boom in Dallas. I know both of Y'all are going
• 57:46
  to be there. You're going to be there, right,
• 57:47
  Miko? Yeah, yeah, we're gonna be
• 57:49
  there. Simply doing the production for
• 57:51
  it. So you should We might be there,
• 57:54
  We might be there. We might be there in.
• 57:56
  Spirit. The fams gonna be.
• 57:57
  I can't wait. It's my first time with.
• 57:59
  Jackson is gonna be on the news desk a bit block Boom, just like
• 58:02
  he was on the news desk at Unconfiscatable Baby.
• 58:04
  And that's what's up. I can't wait.
• 58:07
  So yeah, we're doing that. We're doing some stuff abroad in
• 58:10
  April. We're working with some cities
• 58:12
  in the Midwest to build out a Bitcoin fund to help fund
• 58:16
  unfunded liabilities for pensions.
• 58:18
  So using Bitcoin to strengthen the finances of membership base
• 58:22
  kind of organization stuff. So lots of cool stuff.
• 58:25
  But if you guys are around, would love to have, and I know
• 58:28
  you guys are probably busy but any of the listeners at 11, if
• 58:32
  you want to pop in briefly bring anything you wanna talk about
• 58:35
  pertaining to the wage earner workers and Bitcoin where we're
• 58:39
  here for it for payday Friday. Love it.
• 58:41
  All right, all right, Dom, last question.
• 58:43
  I'm gonna put you on the on the spot here.
• 58:46
  What is your predictions for 2024?
• 58:49
  Are we gonna see some some crazy news coming out?
• 58:51
  I know you say the pensions are slow to move, but what?
• 58:55
  What? In an ideal world, what would be
• 58:57
  like? What do you think's gonna happen
• 58:59
  this year? And then we'll go back and cover
• 59:00
  the news for you guys. Yeah.
• 59:02
  So I would not be surprised when Q1 is reported out.
• 59:06
  And I know sometimes that's late delayed a few quarters.
• 59:09
  But later in the year, I believe we will see pension systems that
• 59:12
  have potentially already allocated to the ETF.
• 59:16
  There's a very high possibility of that.
• 59:18
  I'm not saying anything for sure that that's happened.
• 59:21
  As the year goes on, I do believe we're going to see a
• 59:24
  handful of pensions that allocate to Bitcoin either
• 59:28
  through the ETF or hopefully something we're working on
• 59:31
  improve a workforce is helping them build out a division
• 59:35
  internally that's focused on self custody and really tapping
• 59:39
  exploring how that could be possible for you know something
• 59:42
  like a city or a pension fund. So I think they will come around
• 59:47
  like any cycle. You know they say this is
• 59:49
  institutional cycle. You're going to have other funds
• 59:52
  that ridicule them, make fun of them, tell them that they're
• 59:55
  gambling the funds of the participants and they're going
• 1:00:00
  to go through all the things that we went through in a cycle
• 1:00:03
  just at an institutional level. But those funds that do allocate
• 1:00:07
  will have the benefit of getting in early when you take you know
• 1:00:11
  a 5/10/20 year horizon and they will be stronger for it.
• 1:00:15
  And down the road you will see those workers that are part of
• 1:00:19
  those systems. You'll see headlines like.
• 1:00:23
  Retirement age decreased in this city, in this pension system
• 1:00:27
  because Bitcoin buoys the pension fund and helps them
• 1:00:31
  navigate choppy waters. Or you'll see a headline like
• 1:00:34
  Pension Fund avoids having to, you know, push back retirement
• 1:00:40
  ages because the the decrease in the value of their commercial
• 1:00:44
  real estate office space was offset by an early allocation to
• 1:00:48
  Bitcoin. Boom.
• 1:00:49
  You're going to see that and then you're going to see funds
• 1:00:52
  going. What are we doing?
• 1:00:53
  Well, we're in a tough place. Go ahead and tell the workers
• 1:00:56
  they're going to have to work a few years extra to retire.
• 1:00:59
  We'll need more of their money towards the fund and let the
• 1:01:02
  taxpayers know we're going to need more of their money too to
• 1:01:04
  offset. And and the taxpayers will say,
• 1:01:06
  why is this city not having to do that, but you are.
• 1:01:09
  And they're going to have to tell them because they they got
• 1:01:12
  into Bitcoin early, they learned about it, they built it into
• 1:01:15
  their strategy. So I do see that for 24 moving
• 1:01:18
  into 25 for sure. Incredible.
• 1:01:21
  Incredible. All right, Nico, let's let's go
• 1:01:24
  back and hit the news. I don't know if you want to do
• 1:01:25
  the transition or just go straight into it.
• 1:01:27
  No, we'll go straight into it guys.
• 1:01:28
  We're rolling with the punches. This is a live show, right?
• 1:01:31
  So we, we, you know, we we when things go right, it seems very
• 1:01:34
  smooth and you know and all the transitions and all that.
• 1:01:37
  But it's one of those days where, like coincidentally, as
• 1:01:41
  soon as I was about to start talking about central bank
• 1:01:44
  digital, my Internet just. Now he's going to get yeah,
• 1:01:49
  you're here, you're still here, you're still here and you go,
• 1:01:51
  let's, let's go. Oh, yeah.
• 1:01:52
  OK All right. See.
• 1:01:53
  You're gonna talk about Fort Knox?
• 1:01:55
  Like, yeah, Don't. Talk about Fort Knox CBD.
• 1:01:58
  CS Boom, right? Anyways, All right, all right.
• 1:02:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, so sorry for the technical issues today.
• 1:02:03
  I just want to give a shout out to John.
• 1:02:04
  I have to go. Full screen though.
• 1:02:06
  Dom, you're the fucking man, bro.
• 1:02:08
  Keep doing what you're doing. Proof of workforce.
• 1:02:11
  Guys, check out the Twitter spaces tonight.
• 1:02:14
  Friday night Payday Fridays. You know it's incredibly
• 1:02:18
  important what Dom is doing for the blue collar workers all
• 1:02:22
  around the country. I know it's just starting Santa
• 1:02:25
  Monica, but I'm telling you, there's something special here.
• 1:02:28
  Bitcoin is a solution and Dom is the vehicle making it happen,
• 1:02:32
  man. So Dom, shout out to you.
• 1:02:34
  I really fucking enjoyed that shit.
• 1:02:35
  And Opti Killer questions, like always, my friend.
• 1:02:38
  All right, here we go. I'm going to try to make this
• 1:02:41
  quick, ladies and gentlemen. So we were talking about this
• 1:02:44
  earlier on in the week, but here is essentially the Bitcoin
• 1:02:47
  senator Cynthia Lummis. I'm going to play this in the
• 1:02:49
  background while I kind of look at this, man.
• 1:02:51
  Crazy stuff happening today. Don't talk about foreign Knox,
• 1:02:56
  apparently. Anyways, so here's Cynthia
• 1:02:59
  Lummis, and apparently the video is not working.
• 1:03:01
  But in this video, she was asking Jerome Powell point
• 1:03:06
  blank, whether the Federal Reserve could introduce ACBDC
• 1:03:11
  without Congressional approval. And Jerome Powell said no, they
• 1:03:15
  could not. However, However, here is GOP
• 1:03:19
  Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and this is his tweet, and this is
• 1:03:24
  not our words, this is his words, he says.
• 1:03:26
  If you don't think the Fed is pursuing ACBDC, think again.
• 1:03:29
  The Fed gave this to my staff during a presentation earlier
• 1:03:33
  this Congress. They view a CDC as one of their
• 1:03:37
  key duties. Here's a screenshot.
• 1:03:40
  The top it says key duties of the Fed payment systems.
• 1:03:43
  At the very bottom it says central bank digital currencies.
• 1:03:48
  So ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake, when we say Bitcoin or
• 1:03:51
  slavery on simply Bitcoin, we mean it.
• 1:03:54
  And again, don't pay attention to what they say, pay attention
• 1:03:58
  to what they do now. It's story that I've been
• 1:04:02
  wanting to cover for many weeks now, but we haven't had the
• 1:04:05
  chance is guys the CBDC. You know these systems as they
• 1:04:10
  continue to fail, Bitcoin and bitcoiners will be used as the
• 1:04:16
  scapegoat. I love using Nigeria as an
• 1:04:18
  example because Nigeria is one of the first countries that
• 1:04:21
  really rolled out a CBDC and it failed.
• 1:04:25
  And the reason that it failed was because as much as
• 1:04:28
  governments are saying CBD, CS are made are supposed to make
• 1:04:32
  payments more efficient, the actual reason is so that
• 1:04:35
  governments could retain the privilege and the power of being
• 1:04:39
  able to create money for free that everyone else has to work
• 1:04:41
  for. However, when you just print
• 1:04:43
  money out of thin air, guess what happens, right?
• 1:04:46
  There's inflation. You're debasing everyone's
• 1:04:48
  currency, right? And The thing is, is that when
• 1:04:52
  we didn't have an alternative before Bitcoin, and that
• 1:04:56
  alternative, you could say gold was that alternative.
• 1:04:58
  Well, I mean look at how that ended up right, the 6th when we
• 1:05:00
  just talked about four Knox, right.
• 1:05:02
  But now we have an alternative that is UN confiscatable, right?
• 1:05:07
  Especially if you take self, No, only if you take self custody,
• 1:05:11
  right. If you write down those 1224
• 1:05:13
  words, you use a multi sig set up geographically, separate your
• 1:05:17
  seeds and different jurisdictions, man, no one's
• 1:05:20
  going to get that Bitcoin, I'm telling you right.
• 1:05:24
  I would even go on to say that if you store your Bitcoin
• 1:05:27
  properly it it's more secure than Fort Knox and that's a big
• 1:05:30
  statement right? Anyways, so this is the
• 1:05:33
  foreshadowing, This is, this is something also that the book the
• 1:05:36
  sovereign individual predicted, right?
• 1:05:38
  That as the nation state right is the nation states ability to
• 1:05:43
  collect tax revenue. And when I mentioned tax
• 1:05:45
  revenue, I'm not only talking about direct taxation, I'm also
• 1:05:50
  talking about the indirect taxation of inflation.
• 1:05:53
  They will turn nasty and what will they do?
• 1:05:57
  Instead of taking responsibility, instead of
• 1:05:59
  cutting spending, what they'll do is they'll blame the
• 1:06:03
  technology, they'll blame the tool.
• 1:06:06
  So I would not be surprised if this came to a nation near you
• 1:06:10
  very soon. So the headline of the article
• 1:06:12
  says Nigerian authorities blame Binance for 70% Naira
• 1:06:16
  devaluation. Why Binance?
• 1:06:18
  Well, Binance is the facilitator, right?
• 1:06:20
  Binance is an on ramp. Binance allows you to buy an
• 1:06:25
  alternative currency, right? So it's not Binance's fault.
• 1:06:29
  And you could say you could replace the word Binance.
• 1:06:31
  You put Bitcoin in there, it's the same thing.
• 1:06:35
  But instead of saying, OK, we printed too much money, we're
• 1:06:38
  spending money we don't have. What are they doing?
• 1:06:41
  They're blaming the technology. They're blaming, you know, the
• 1:06:45
  facilitator, right? Move to issue arrest warrant
• 1:06:48
  against CEO. The country's central bank
• 1:06:51
  claims the exchange manipulated foreign exchange rates through
• 1:06:54
  currency speculation and rate fixing, which led to the local
• 1:06:57
  currency nearly losing nearly 70% of its value in recent
• 1:07:01
  months. Or maybe they just printed a
• 1:07:03
  ridiculous amount of money. Right.
• 1:07:06
  And again which is really interesting, right.
• 1:07:08
  And as you say OK, but that's in Nigeria that's not going to
• 1:07:10
  happen here and you go, well kind of very similar wording
• 1:07:13
  here check this out Yahoo finance article JP Morgan
• 1:07:16
  Bitcoin surge could raise concerns at the Fed rate cuts
• 1:07:22
  might be delayed. So you kind of kind of painting
• 1:07:25
  a picture for you guys that as Fiat currencies continue to
• 1:07:29
  degrade and continue to fail, the scapegoat will be Bitcoin
• 1:07:33
  and bitcoiners, anyone who facilitates that sovereignty,
• 1:07:38
  the tools, the businesses, they will be targets for government,
• 1:07:43
  as was predicted in the book, The Sovereign Individual.
• 1:07:47
  And again, as much as they're telling you, don't worry about
• 1:07:50
  the CBDC, It's not real. It's not existent.
• 1:07:53
  There it is. The proof is in the pudding to
• 1:07:55
  the point that it's already in the political discourse.
• 1:07:57
  Ladies and gentlemen, right? The leading Republic.
• 1:08:00
  No, the Republican candidate for 2024, Donald Trump, already put
• 1:08:04
  it into his political rhetoric that if he were to be elected
• 1:08:08
  president, he would stop the introduction of a central bank
• 1:08:12
  digital currency. Right.
• 1:08:13
  So you can ignore this. You could pull an ostrich, put
• 1:08:17
  your head in the sand and pretend that it's not Bitcoin or
• 1:08:20
  slavery. But ladies and gentlemen, as
• 1:08:22
  more time progresses, it will become more and more and more
• 1:08:26
  apparent as the Fiat system continues to disintegrate and as
• 1:08:32
  the clown world accelerates. As we're seeing it like this is
• 1:08:35
  insane. What is going on not only in the
• 1:08:38
  US, but around the world, man. So anyways, that's the news real
• 1:08:41
  quick. I try to make it fast.
• 1:08:42
  Dom, what's your take? And then Opti.
• 1:08:44
  And then we'll move on to the memes.
• 1:08:46
  You know when I see that story and the blame game, but
• 1:08:51
  especially when you talk about Nico with self custody, I think
• 1:08:54
  about some of our the ETF stuff is very exciting for us.
• 1:08:58
  But I've been telling friends that are only in a position to
• 1:09:01
  allocate to the ETF. I tell them self custody is not
• 1:09:05
  a luxury, it's a necessity that is best learned sooner than
• 1:09:09
  later. And I tell them this over and
• 1:09:11
  over again like it is not a test.
• 1:09:14
  Learn about self custody. Master it.
• 1:09:17
  It's not a luxury you don't have you, you don't.
• 1:09:19
  You may have time, you may not. But why not capitalize on one of
• 1:09:24
  the best facets of Bitcoin, the ability to hold it yourself
• 1:09:28
  safely as you mentioned so eloquently, Nico, it's safer
• 1:09:32
  than Fort Knox folks. It can't be stolen taken,
• 1:09:35
  etcetera. So tap that magic and don't wait
• 1:09:39
  and tell people that you know and care about.
• 1:09:42
  You know, that's great. I'm not saying to go tell them
• 1:09:44
  the ETF is dangerous. It's a bomb that's going to
• 1:09:47
  explode now. But again, self custody is not a
• 1:09:50
  luxury. It is a necessity.
• 1:09:51
  So a. 100% a hundred. Love it.
• 1:09:54
  Opti, what's your? Yeah, I mean, look, I am not
• 1:09:57
  surprised. Well, first let me go to the
• 1:10:00
  CBDC stuff. You know we played the Jerome
• 1:10:02
  Powell clip where he I think on oath was like, yeah, this is the
• 1:10:06
  CBDCS aren't going to happen. You know Senator Lummus has been
• 1:10:12
  grilling him and they said the same thing like Oh no CBD CS
• 1:10:15
  going to happen but shouts out to Thomas Hammer.
• 1:10:18
  I believe his name is for exposing the real thing
• 1:10:21
  happening. And even when we played that
• 1:10:23
  clip, like it does I, I'm pretty sure if I if I have a, you know,
• 1:10:27
  not a goldfish memory here. I said something on the lines of
• 1:10:30
  like, yeah it sounds good what they're saying they are
• 1:10:34
  alleviating some concerns and at least this this conversation is
• 1:10:37
  happening. But I just, you know, my tinfoil
• 1:10:41
  hat was on and I'm like, I just don't trust what they're saying.
• 1:10:43
  So I'm glad that we have more receipts on that ground that, Oh
• 1:10:48
  yeah, look, they're telling you they're not going to do a CBDC
• 1:10:50
  because they understand that it's not politically viable that
• 1:10:53
  people are concerned about a CBDC.
• 1:10:55
  And then on the back end, you know, their key initiatives is,
• 1:10:58
  Oh yeah, actually we, we need to continue to push a CBDC.
• 1:11:01
  So you know, I I always say the same thing, just just stay
• 1:11:06
  paranoid when it comes to central bankers and politicians
• 1:11:09
  talking either bad about Bitcoin and or talking about CBD, CS
• 1:11:13
  because we already know where the game is going.
• 1:11:15
  And then on the Nigeria, JP Morgan stuff like you know, I'm
• 1:11:20
  never surprised by the lack of accountability that we see from
• 1:11:23
  governments and central bankers. They will do whatever they can
• 1:11:26
  to gaslight the population to push blame somewhere else.
• 1:11:30
  And again, like the Nigeria CBDC example, I think is a shining
• 1:11:34
  example of what's going to happen to everywhere around the
• 1:11:38
  world when they try to push ACBDC.
• 1:11:39
  People are going to, I don't know if it's a subconsciously or
• 1:11:43
  what, but they will inherently know that they should not fall
• 1:11:49
  into a CBDC system. And then JP Morgan, you know,
• 1:11:52
  blaming Bitcoin for what the feds doing, Like you can't even
• 1:11:56
  make this stuff up. Of course, Jamie Dimon's going
• 1:11:58
  to come out here and say some more ridiculous stuff.
• 1:12:01
  I forget what the last thing he was saying a few weeks ago, but
• 1:12:04
  basically that, you know, the government should ban Bitcoin.
• 1:12:07
  And then, you know, you find out that, oh, they're the, the
• 1:12:12
  official what's associate partner for the Black Rock ETF
• 1:12:15
  and now he's coming out and he's blaming Bitcoin.
• 1:12:18
  So, like, we knew this was going to happen, but it really is kind
• 1:12:22
  of setting the tone for what we see, that the powers that be
• 1:12:25
  aren't going to let up on the money, 'cause they know that the
• 1:12:28
  money's the problem and they're going to try to shift blame.
• 1:12:30
  They're going to blame Bitcoiners for all their
• 1:12:32
  problems. And as number goes up, we're
• 1:12:34
  going to see this increase even more.
• 1:12:36
  So just be at the very least mentally prepared for this, but
• 1:12:40
  also like, make sure your cold storage setup is good.
• 1:12:42
  Anyways. Dom, jump in.
• 1:12:43
  I I saw you wanting to chime in. Well, you you mentioned the
• 1:12:47
  diamond stuff and how ridiculous it is.
• 1:12:49
  And when I do go to DC for the summit, the message we have is
• 1:12:53
  so clear and easy. And and it's simply this, the
• 1:12:57
  firefighters union holds Bitcoin because it believes the threats
• 1:13:01
  to the Fiat system are overwhelming, very, you know,
• 1:13:06
  worried about the pension systems.
• 1:13:08
  And we're holding it because of its long term potential to
• 1:13:12
  protect the time that we've traded for money.
• 1:13:15
  There you go. Take that and and like you can
• 1:13:18
  say it's for only criminals, but I just gave you a use case
• 1:13:21
  that's not for that And so I'm going to that.
• 1:13:24
  We're singing that message until the cows come home.
• 1:13:27
  I don't know how many cows are in DC, in the city maybe in some
• 1:13:31
  of the outline Virginia areas but but we're going to be
• 1:13:33
  hitting that hard and it is ridiculous.
• 1:13:36
  Now when that is being said to Congress by someone like Jamie
• 1:13:40
  Dimon, it's so absurd it's it's borderline like deceptive and
• 1:13:45
  and it's and it's it's a lie. I mean it's it's it's an oath
• 1:13:49
  thing when you say that. So yeah we knew.
• 1:13:53
  We knew it. We knew. 100 percent, 100% man.
• 1:13:57
  Anyways, it's Guys don't pay attention to what they say, pay
• 1:14:00
  attention to what they do. Opti, we gave a shout out to our
• 1:14:04
  sponsors Kaboom, Racks and of course Brian the men.
• 1:14:06

  Oh oh, this is the meme review where you tag me on Twitter at
• 1:14:50

  Memes are important. Tweet to the bullets.
• 1:15:15
  Meme to the artillery. I, I, I, I did it.
• 1:15:20
  I did it right. I did it right.
• 1:15:21
  We are frontline soldiers. Continue to spread the signal.
• 1:15:25
  Continue to ridicule the corporate press.
• 1:15:28
  Continue to ridicule the No coiners out there.
• 1:15:31
  Because they're coming in strong.
• 1:15:32
  They're coming in very strong this week, and it's only going
• 1:15:35
  to increase. And of course make some funny So
• 1:15:37
  your friends and family's head stay in the game.
• 1:15:40
  Keep dropping meme in your family group chats.
• 1:15:42
  This is how we win. Just don't even acknowledge
• 1:15:45
  their questions. Just drop a meme in there and
• 1:15:46
  then I'll have them all call you idiots.
• 1:15:49
  This is this is how we win. I think wait wait wait, OCTI.
• 1:15:52
  I think Dom volunteered to read this meme in a A Walk in Bomber
• 1:16:00
  Walk in Impersonation. And I'll.
• 1:16:03
  I'll do this because I saw Walking was in Dune 2.
• 1:16:06
  No spoiler alerts. But like, he's still in the
• 1:16:08
  game. So, OK, so this meme walking
• 1:16:11
  South and comes in, well, I outperform you every single
• 1:16:17
  year, but I'm not an investor. Come on, Bitcoin.
• 1:16:22
  Now doing the Trump voice. Not doing the Trump voice.
• 1:16:25
  No next meme Next. One, OK, Next one OK.
• 1:16:29
  Oh, even better. Even better.
• 1:16:30
  There we go. OK, so here let me let me set
• 1:16:32
  this one up. So where, quote, this is my
• 1:16:35
  Dylan Mcclary. He's quote tweeting that JP
• 1:16:37
  Morgan post of soaring prices of Bitcoin could delay the Federal
• 1:16:39
  Reserve's plan to cut interest rates, not take it down.
• 1:16:43
  OK, you know, I am a fan of the dollar, OK, the Fed is shooting
• 1:16:48
  the dollar and and why would Bitcoin do this?
• 1:16:51
  OK, but I but I am a fan of the dollar.
• 1:16:55
  OK, I like the dollar. That's what I like, is the
• 1:16:58
  dollar. But Bitcoin is doing very well.
• 1:17:00
  It it's it's doing incredibly well.
• 1:17:06
  Oh man, oh man. OK, OK, next one.
• 1:17:08
  Do you got another voice? What about the I love the
• 1:17:11
  comment. Finally they shut up and now
• 1:17:12
  meme review. That's pull it.
• 1:17:17
  Up. OK, hold on, let.
• 1:17:18
  Me. I I can do an Arnold voice.
• 1:17:19
  Maybe. OK, I could do.
• 1:17:21
  I could. I could do a pretty good Arnold
• 1:17:22
  voice. I could do a pretty good Arnold.
• 1:17:23
  Voice or you might have to do OK, I'll I'll.
• 1:17:25
  Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's, let's go, Arnold voice all.
• 1:17:27
  Right. Hold on.
• 1:17:28
  Let me let me tee this one up. So I did a tweet yesterday.
• 1:17:31
  I was, I saw this video on Twitter and I I constantly keep
• 1:17:36
  seeing these videos of like Gen. Zers and and millennials they're
• 1:17:40
  just struggling right now because of the Fiat system and
• 1:17:43
  it just like every once in a while I come back to this like
• 1:17:46
  man, Bitcoin really saved my life.
• 1:17:48
  And then I quote tweeted it and I said I see so many social
• 1:17:51
  media posts of people struggling right now and feel blessed.
• 1:17:54
  I went all in on Bitcoin hashtag blessed and then McConnell face
• 1:17:57
  dropped this meme. All right, now take it, Dom.
• 1:18:01
  So if you look at the people they they buy in the custody
• 1:18:05
  their own Bitcoin and they're very well dressed.
• 1:18:07
  They have the good, you know, the hair is nice, the hat is
• 1:18:11
  very good, they have the good shirt and and it's because they
• 1:18:14
  have the Bitcoin in self custody.
• 1:18:16
  Come on, you know if you you they can't take it from you.
• 1:18:19
  Come on. I heard some walking in the
• 1:18:22
  Arnold bro. All right, all right.
• 1:18:23
  Now finish it. Now finish it.
• 1:18:25
  No, Nico has to finish it home. Oh, Nico.
• 1:18:27
  'S version that bottom part. On the bottom, what we see is.
• 1:18:33
  On the bottom is what you see is the people.
• 1:18:35
  They don't buy Bitcoin, they say People who make tick tock video.
• 1:18:38
  Who the hell makes tick Tock Getting the getting the
• 1:18:41
  helicopter asking why is this shit so expensive?
• 1:18:44
  Yeah, I don't know. And they're all strung out and
• 1:18:48
  they got different colored hair, and they look really bad.
• 1:18:51
  OK, yeah, exactly. That's literally what they look
• 1:18:54
  like. All right.
• 1:18:55
  Any more voices or do I just rip through this?
• 1:18:57
  I could. I could do a pretty.
• 1:18:58
  I could. I could do a pretty good
• 1:19:00
  Southern accent, believe it or not.
• 1:19:02
  OK, I don't. Yeah.
• 1:19:03
  All right, shoot it then. Read this one.
• 1:19:05
  I mean it just says risk. No, no, no, no.
• 1:19:08
  Dude, it's all right. This one.
• 1:19:10
  Let me do this. Let me do this.
• 1:19:12
  Let me take this. All right.
• 1:19:13
  OK, so. Hold on ladies and gentlemen, So
• 1:19:16
  basically we had this he's a, he's a Bitcoin pleb and he goes
• 1:19:21
  by the name Magoo PhD and he's a very well respected member of
• 1:19:27
  the Bitcoin community. Respected troll, respected
• 1:19:30
  troll. It's a, it's a lingo that they
• 1:19:32
  use on the interwebs anyway. So he goes on to say everyone
• 1:19:36
  wants to be rich, but nobody is willing to take any risks.
• 1:19:40
  And then what you see is you see a picture, it looks like a some
• 1:19:43
  type of tattoo these crazy kids these days.
• 1:19:45
  And it says risk, but it also says rich as well.
• 1:19:48
  So it's a It's a pretty interesting.
• 1:19:50
  It's written on dice. You got to risk.
• 1:19:52
  This I I wouldn't consider this a meme.
• 1:19:54
  I would consider this more like a piece of art.
• 1:19:57
  Personally, this is very artistic to me and I really do
• 1:20:00
  appreciate it. Thank you, Opti.
• 1:20:02
  Wow, that's cultural go. Back to the risk one.
• 1:20:04
  Here's the De Niro one of the risk Go back.
• 1:20:06
  To the This is we got to bring Friday, we got to bring Dawn
• 1:20:10
  back on the Friday show every, every Friday.
• 1:20:12
  Man, this is epic. Excuse me?
• 1:20:14
  You're telling me about about risk.
• 1:20:17
  I heard things. No, no, no, no.
• 1:20:19
  You want to be rich, but you don't want to do the risk.
• 1:20:22
  I heard things. No, no, no, that's OK.
• 1:20:24
  No, no, no. You're a little out of line
• 1:20:25
  yourself. I heard things.
• 1:20:28
  I heard things. You want to be rich?
• 1:20:30
  Then take the risk. OK?
• 1:20:32
  That's all I'm saying. You got to risk it for the
• 1:20:34
  biscuit. You got to risk it for the
• 1:20:36
  biscuit. OK All right.
• 1:20:38
  Next one is by world of let me just rip this, let me rip
• 1:20:40
  through the last couple of. All right.
• 1:20:42
  So last one is our not last one. Sorry.
• 1:20:44
  Next one is my world of rusty and he goes win cell coin,
• 1:20:49
  Michael. And then Michael goes buys more
• 1:20:51
  and here's a picture of the lady in the yellow blouse or whatever
• 1:20:56
  it is. And then here's here's Michael
• 1:20:58
  Saylor just doubling down literally the next day and
• 1:21:01
  buying more Bitcoin. Win cell coin.
• 1:21:03
  Michael Michael just buys more coin.
• 1:21:06
  This next one is by the legendary American huddle, AKA
• 1:21:10
  one of the goats out there. One of the one of the reasons
• 1:21:13
  why we all stack so hard in the 2017 actually little Side Story.
• 1:21:17
  You know, Nico, you know what we're missing right now in the
• 1:21:19
  cycle. Everyone's yelling at each other
• 1:21:20
  on Twitter. But remember, like the
• 1:21:22
  motivational speeches that Huddle would give us during the
• 1:21:25
  27th or 2018 bear market? He would just get stupidly
• 1:21:30
  bullish on us and just be like stack, go all the way and give
• 1:21:33
  it. It was like a locker room hyping
• 1:21:35
  us up. Anyways, we got huddle here and
• 1:21:37
  it goes. When people ask me what Bitcoin
• 1:21:39
  is going to do next week. And I think this is the
• 1:21:41
  screenshot from the new Dune I'm guessing.
• 1:21:43
  And it goes, Our plans are measured in centuries guys,
• 1:21:47
  lower your time preference. And this one, I I brought this
• 1:21:50
  one on the show, but we got a lot of heat this week and last
• 1:21:53
  week because we say, you know, it's not left versus right, it's
• 1:21:56
  not Republican versus Democrat, it is orange versus green.
• 1:22:00
  And I I put this meme on the red.
• 1:22:01
  Versus White Opti? Yeah, I I know I'm colorblind,
• 1:22:04
  but bear with me, bear with me. I've put this one on the show,
• 1:22:08
  but I think this really sums it up.
• 1:22:11
  And and this can probably be divided more.
• 1:22:13
  You know, you could, you could divide this down left and right
• 1:22:15
  if you want to, but here we go. We got wrong enemy, the rich
• 1:22:19
  versus the non rich. And you can, you know, write it
• 1:22:21
  down here. You can do the rich left versus
• 1:22:23
  the non rich left and the rich right versus the non rich right
• 1:22:26
  and then the right enemy. It's cut on the side where the
• 1:22:30
  right enemy is the people who use government to control you,
• 1:22:33
  whether they're rich or non rich, whether they're the haves
• 1:22:36
  or the have nots versus the people who allow other people to
• 1:22:39
  live in peace, which is what we advocate for here on Bitcoin.
• 1:22:43
  It's the freedom to transact, the freedom of speech.
• 1:22:45
  All that good stuff was what we talk about all the time.
• 1:22:48
  It is not left versus right, It is orange versus green.
• 1:22:52
  Guys Dom, we we got a special request.
• 1:22:56
  I don't know if you could do it. I definitely can't do it.
• 1:23:00
  Stallone, even though some people say I look like Stallone,
• 1:23:02
  'cause I got kind of the droopy eyes, it's hard, you know, if
• 1:23:05
  there's I'm not, I do not have a good Stallone.
• 1:23:07
  I don't know, dude. You know, Hey, you know, hey,
• 1:23:11
  you know this Bitcoin thing, you know, try to buy some of this
• 1:23:15
  Bitcoin. I don't want to fight it.
• 1:23:16
  Boy. You know, 'cause they they got
• 1:23:17
  my eye and you know, self custody.
• 1:23:20
  You know what? They kiss.
• 1:23:22
  You got self custody in the seat phrase you know.
• 1:23:27
  That's pretty good. We have given the people what
• 1:23:31
  they man. Wow, What a Friday.
• 1:23:34
  What a Friday. What's your meme score, bro?
• 1:23:36
  All right guys, my meme review score.
• 1:23:37
  I don't know if I'd use this, but I don't think I have.
• 1:23:40
  So you guys could Fact Check me, but it's my Electro voice, my
• 1:23:44
  microphone case with nothing in it.
• 1:23:46
  Nothing's in here. So it's just a case.
• 1:23:48
  I think I've done it with like the microphones in it.
• 1:23:51
  But yeah, if you Fact Check me, if I need to do another one,
• 1:23:55
  I'll do another one. Wow, that bad.
• 1:24:00
  Dom, what would you give those memes?
• 1:24:03
  What's the rating again? The.
• 1:24:04
  The. Give it anything, any it's a
• 1:24:06
  meme color, number, feeling. Actually I got.
• 1:24:11
  I'm going to, I'm going to rate those memes.
• 1:24:13
  Seed plate. Oh strong, dude, strong.
• 1:24:18
  And it cannot be burned by jet fuel like one of your.
• 1:24:20
  Commentators OK, Chris is telling me another one.
• 1:24:23
  So I have one. I have a trash can for Nico's
• 1:24:28
  Arnold Schwarzenegger, actually, for Nico's Southern accent.
• 1:24:32
  Impersonation. Some people liked it, some
• 1:24:34
  people didn't. You know, I did my best.
• 1:24:37
  I did my best. But anyways.
• 1:24:38
  I thought it was fire. I can no longer, you know, my
• 1:24:41
  meme score. I can no longer play this video
• 1:24:43
  after this week because it won't be relevant.
• 1:24:45
  So I'm gonna do it one more time because they expect well,
• 1:24:48
  because they wanna. Sell.
• 1:24:49
  It eventually, Michael. I mean, let's be honest, most of
• 1:24:51
  the people who are, yes, sure, some people pass it on to their
• 1:24:54
  children, but like most of the people who are buying assets at
• 1:24:58
  some point want to sell the assets at a profit.
• 1:25:01
  So I. Guess.
• 1:25:01
  Let me say it differently. People that use Fiat currency as
• 1:25:06
  a store of value, there's a name for them.
• 1:25:08
  We call them poor. We call them poor.
• 1:25:11
  Very poor if you use. Hey.
• 1:25:13
  Someone someone last night at the meet up was like dude, after
• 1:25:16
  you need to add we call them poor on the soundboard so I'll
• 1:25:20
  have the we call them. Poor on the Morpheus.
• 1:25:22
  We gotta add that to the intro, brother.
• 1:25:24
  We. Gotta we gotta definitely show
• 1:25:26
