to do Justice today. So let's get it.
3:03
And let's see if during the bit on cbc's YouTube decides to pull
3:08
a fast one on, simply Bitcoin, and that is definitely going to
3:12
be some signal. But anyways, guys, let's start
3:14
the show. Number two brought to you by
3:20
novel. At this point, you should be
3:21
running your own Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
3:24
Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
3:27
version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
3:29
whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
3:33
And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
3:37
because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
3:39
server. Visit not L.A you today.
3:42
That's right guys, you should be running your own Bitcoin node
3:44
by. Now it's a no-brainer anyways at
3:47
The time of recording, the Bitcoin price is 19,000 104.
3:53
SATs per dollar also known as Moscow time.
3:56
We're at five thousand, three hundred and thirty-five 235
4:01
block height 750 5510 reachable Bitcoin.
4:05
Nodes 13,000 404, we want that number to continue going up
4:10
blocks to The Happening. 80 4490, having estimate April
4:15
22nd, 20, Or total lightning network capacity, 4828 capacity
4:23
value 92 million u.s. dollars realized monetary inflation.
4:28
Bitcoin continues to take the US dollar absolutely to school one
4:34
point seven eight percent market capitalization 365 billion
4:40
dollars with Abby. Bitcoin is still a tiny little
4:45
baby. Anyways I want to play this
4:47
video. Guys.
4:48
Some of it is in Spanish? No all of it is in Spanish, I
4:50
will do. I will translate after the fact
4:53
this is nayeem buchelli making a presentation.
4:56
Making an address to the United Nations and in front of the
5:00
United Nations. He said that El Salvador is the
5:05
land of surf coffee, freedom and Bitcoin, it's a historic moment.
5:11
Anyways, let's check out the speech.
5:13
I'm sorry about the dimensions restream, do something weird.
5:16
Anyways, check it out. Sonata is a notice.
5:33
Well Cafe, tell Bitcoin, elevator.
5:37
Pass it on. In control.
6:01
Extremely powerful message at the end to translate.
6:05
What you what he said. If you come to El Salvador
6:07
today, you will find security. Remember, El Salvador was one of
6:11
the most dangerous countries in the world today, you will find
6:15
security in El Salvador and at the very end he said something
6:18
extremely powerful, he said that you will find a United people in
6:22
the country of El Salvador, United for the quest of freedom
6:27
and I found it absolutely amazing.
6:30
In the beginning line, right? After he said, Freedom, he
6:34
dropped Bitcoin buchelli, 2024 Opti, what are your thoughts?
6:39
Well, I sent you this, I was like, you know, Nico did you
6:43
watch this? I was absolutely, I love that
6:46
speech. The whole speech, I highly
6:48
recommend everyone. Go watch this speech, that there
6:50
is a translation for it. So if you don't understand
6:53
Spanish, but I think it's definitely a defining speech.
6:57
And if you listen to it closely, he's Saying some big things in
7:02
there and not only you know saying it to powerful people but
7:06
also the the message of Hope is in my opinion one of the most
7:10
powerful things of this speech and it really really like I
7:14
don't know it hit different man I was watching this in the
7:17
morning and I was just getting so inspired by what what book
7:20
Kelly was saying. And I like you said, man, the
7:22
fact that he's at the UN spreading Bitcoin as Freedom
7:26
spreading Bitcoin, as true Financial sovereignty, and
7:29
Liberty is just It's such a powerful message and and I just
7:33
hope that other nations and other people that listen to
7:36
this, get as inspired as I was about it because I don't know
7:39
man, something about it, just hit me different this time and I
7:43
was like man like buchelli really gets it.
7:45
Like that's a politician that I would like to see or a president
7:48
that I would like to see in the United States because it was
7:51
just such an awesome speech. What 100%, Alex, what are your
7:54
thoughts on buchelli? Speech are?
7:56
Do you, do you go? Because I know a lot of
7:58
bitcoiners come from the school of thought it.
8:00
It's he's a politician. He can't be trusted and I agree
8:03
with that. I agree with that, but at the
8:05
end of the day, I think, fundamentally you cannot deny
8:09
his results. You can't deny that he's brought
8:11
security to the people of El Salvador.
8:14
You can't deny the fact that he's bought freedom to the
8:17
people of El Salvador. Do you think that he's putting
8:20
up this act Alex to accumulate power?
8:24
I personally don't believe that but I'd love to get your
8:26
thoughts on that. Yeah, I don't think it's
8:29
possible to adopt a bit. Join with the intention of
8:32
accumulating power because it literally does the opposite of
8:35
that. So anybody who really
8:36
understands what Bitcoin is and I suspect the buchelli does
8:40
understand what it is. In fact, would not adopt a
8:44
Bitcoin, if his intention was to accumulate power, because it
8:47
does the opposite of that. 100% And this idea just really quick
8:53
on this idea of, you know, he's a politician.
8:55
He can't be trusted. I think it's I think personally
8:58
I think it might be a little dangerous to just lump everybody
9:01
into one category and just say it.
9:03
Well because this person's pursuing this particular
9:06
objective or occupation or thing that he's automatically like you
9:13
know a bad person. I think that is dangerous.
9:17
I think we're always going to have To have leaders, it's the
9:20
way human human societies work. And there are good leaders in
9:25
there are bad leaders and to say all of them are the same.
9:28
I think is is little maybe a little bit naive and and
9:31
cynical, I think it's possible to have good politicians like
9:36
watch what they do, not what they say.
9:40
Yeah. You can't just blanket code,
9:43
people. You know, you can't leave me
9:44
like all all, you know, I knew this one guy who was a fireman,
9:47
he was a complete douchebag. Therefore, all firemen are
9:50
douchebags. Yeah, no, it's true.
9:53
It's true. So do you believe in the theory
9:57
of Kaiser? And I believe this but maybe I'm
10:01
young and naive and stupid is Bitcoin doing to the country of
10:06
El Salvador as what it did to me.
10:09
Personally I'm sure what it did to you, Alex What it did to Opti
10:13
the old age adage or the old age.
10:16
Bitcoin adage you don't change Bitcoin.
10:18
Bitcoin changes. You do you see that happening?
10:22
El Salvador. I see it is clear as day to me
10:26
but clearly I'm a little bit biased.
10:30
Matt, I don't, you know, over time, I don't know.
10:33
I I've not been to El Salvador yet so I can't really speak to
10:37
it from a personal experience level.
10:40
If you look at it from like, on the ground, kind of you have
10:44
people in El Salvador, who are now transacting in Bitcoin.
10:47
The big question becomes are they saving it?
10:51
Because if they understand the value of saving it, that little
10:53
disk will change their lives, I believe 100%.
10:58
So the question is are is that what they're doing?
10:59
and I'd be curious to find out like if you were to run around
11:02
all Zante and talk to all the merchants who are taking
11:06
Bitcoin, Ask them how much of the Bitcoin they're actually,
11:10
saving, I'd be curious to know but for sure, if they do
11:14
understand it, as the more they learn about it, there's no
11:16
doubt. It's going to change them.
11:17
I'm sure it's already changed them, just watching, you know,
11:20
being it if you can, once you see for the first time if you've
11:23
never seen this, once you see a lightning payment go across and
11:26
how fast it is and how simple it is and you come to the
11:28
realization. Wow, no banks participated in
11:31
this. There's no Visa Mastercard
11:33
there's no none of that kind of stuff that is mind-blowing.
11:36
So yeah for sure. Alicia.
11:40
Wait, we shall we shall see? We shall see we shall see how
11:44
this experiment turns out we shall.
11:47
See if sailor and name. Bouquet Lee look like absolute
11:51
genius has, I believe they will least we shall see, we shall
11:55
see. Anyways, let's get to the news
11:58
everybody. The Daily News brought to you by
12:04
crypto. Cloaks.com, they make the best
12:07
3D printed Bitcoin merge in the game.
12:10
From Custom node cases to keyrings to the famous, 3D
12:14
printed Bitcoin, grenade. Toy comes in any custom color,
12:17
your heart desires you want to in Gold, they make it in Gold
12:21
but only on crypto cloaks.com. All right, everybody.
12:25
So this is the big news of today, Jesse Powell.
12:30
He was the CEO of Kraken, Kraken launched in 2011, he steps down.
12:38
Now, I think the writing was on the wall, the hostility from The
12:45
Establishment Legacy Media, the the media that propagates, the
12:51
narrative from the administrative state Um, and of
12:55
course, I'm talking about the New York Times the New York
12:57
Times released Infamous articles attacking Bitcoin because they
13:03
said, hey is going to be used to circumvent Russian sanctions.
13:06
That's where Elizabeth Warren. You know, made her case and here
13:11
is an article that came out specifically July 26 2022 and
13:16
the headline of the article for our audio listener.
13:18
Says Kraken. A u.s. crypto exchange is
13:21
suspected of violating Sanctions goes on to say crack in one of
13:26
the world's largest crypto currency exchanges is under
13:28
federal investigation. Negation suspecting suspected of
13:32
violating us sanctions by allowing users in Iran and
13:35
elsewhere to buy and sell digital tokens.
13:38
According to five people affiliated with the company, the
13:41
treasury Department's office of foreign assets control.
13:43
A, this is the same office in the treasury.
13:47
That what did they do? They they sanctioned open source
13:54
Software which will be making the case that that's going to be
13:57
used as a precedent to eventually going at go after
14:01
Bitcoin whether the same office that sanctioned or investigated
14:05
crack and try to strong-arm them.
14:07
And this is the same office as well that included into the must
14:13
pass. Infrastructure bill would
14:14
Congress is still trying to amend.
14:16
They included the amendment where it kind of it's not very
14:22
clear whether a Bitcoin miner Mining or a lightning node
14:26
function as money. Transmitters, if they function
14:29
as money transmitters there's they have to adhere to certain
14:32
regulation that they won't be able to.
14:35
But anyways it wasn't me just saying this it was a Cynthia,
14:38
lummis herself let's check out of let's check out the clip.
14:42
That treasury got a jump on on us in trying to Define broker in
14:48
this bill. So it was treasury that was
14:52
behind us. It was treasury that was behind
14:54
sanctioning open source software, the office of foreign
14:57
assets control, was also the, the, the agency that was
15:02
referenced, when Marathon Mara pool started, censoring Bitcoin
15:07
blocks. Well, they attempted to what
15:09
they called the censored bit. Coin blocks was ofac compliant,
15:14
Bitcoin blocks, right? So this is the guy.
15:16
These are the people behind this and there are hostile towards
15:20
towards Kraken, right? Because it was facilitating
15:23
Internationals buying Bitcoin. So could this have been pressure
15:27
towards Powell? Anyways, moving on, I'm not
15:30
talking about Jerome Powell. In this case, I'm talking about
15:32
Jesse Pal. Anyways, it goes on to say Jesse
15:34
Powell and early Bitcoin backer and co-founder of the crypto
15:36
currency exchange, Kraken plans to step down from his role as
15:40
chief executive. The company said on Wednesday.
15:42
David Ripley, David Ripley, the current chief operating officer
15:46
will succeed, mr. Powell, mr.
15:48
Powell has been a vocal critic of government.
15:50
Regulation of crypto and 2015, instead of falling regulations,
15:55
from the New York, Department of Financial Services, crackin
15:57
decided to stop operate in New York.
15:59
Kraken was founded in 2011, about two years after Bitcoins
16:02
launch. It is currently the fourth
16:04
largest crypto exchange measured by spot trading.
16:06
Volume. The company is in the midst of
16:09
replacing a number of talk at all.
16:10
Top Executives and has been hiring even as other in the
16:14
industries have resorted to layoffs in March, Kraken, hired,
16:17
carry Dolan as Chief Financial Officer and April names, Mario
16:20
group te as its Chief marketing officer, the company says it
16:24
expects it to hire a new Chief compliance officer in the next
16:29
year's. Now, the new, the new Kraken CEO
16:34
claimed that the exchange that crack in had no plans into
16:40
taking Out some of the shit coins said to taking TD listing,
16:45
some of the shit coins that they have because of pressure from
16:49
the SEC, but is Powell stepping down a prerequisite?
16:55
If is he trying to get out of the way of the regulatory frame,
17:00
the regulatory freight train that is currently heading into
17:04
the whole cryptos, fear. I don't know.
17:07
But remember the US government also tried to make an example of
17:10
our Sir Hayes, who is the famous?
17:13
Who is the CEO of the infamous? Shit coin, casino the original
17:17
one bit mix as well, right? So, it's interesting, a lot of
17:22
high-profile CEO's that have been oh geez.
17:25
They've been in this game for quite a.
17:27
While are stepping down as the US government continues.
17:32
Its regulatory regulatory creep into the space.
17:38
Could this be connected, could it not be connected?
17:41
No, man. It's a lot of coincidences,
17:43
Alex. You guys do an incredible job at
17:45
Cafe Bitcoin? I'm sure you've been talking
17:47
about this. What are your thoughts, man?
17:50
Yeah, that, that ofac Vector we haven't really been talking a
17:54
lot about. That's an interesting.
17:58
Perspective to look at this from they can if they do that I mean
18:03
essentially any exchange that's u.s. listed or us domiciled,
18:08
they could probably try to exert pressure on in terms of of that.
18:14
That would be super interesting to see.
18:16
I'm glad obviously that miners aren't requiring considered
18:19
money, transmitters and are required to have licenses.
18:21
But that's still the potential is, I'll stop you right there.
18:24
I'll stop you right there with the current wording.
18:27
They have an amendment. They have an amended it yet.
18:30
With the current wording. It could be interpreted.
18:33
It could be interpreted as money tree as minor, not only minors
18:37
but also lightning notes. That's the scary part.
18:40
Yeah. I don't know how enforceable
18:42
that is though. If you think about it, that's
18:45
that's a tough one. However, the other part, I mean,
18:50
this is kind of like what we've been talking about on Cafe for a
18:53
while, is the the big Push by Gensler to basically say,
18:59
ethereum is a security. You know, that's been the new
19:03
thing lately that a because now all the validators and stuff are
19:08
in majorities in the u.s. they're claiming jurisdiction
19:12
over the Actions because there's a majority in the u.s.
19:16
So that's that's a potential attack Vector there.
19:19
But also that because all eith is staked now that's essentially
19:25
a financial product with an expectation of a return and
19:30
therefore, ethereum is a security and if theorem is a
19:34
security, that means all of the ico's launched on ethereum are
19:38
also probably Securities or at least they're captured by that.
19:44
and then, I guess the other part of that when it comes to these
19:48
exchanges and Jesse like what does that mean?
19:52
Does that mean they all have to become exchanges with the
19:57
ability license to exchange Securities?
19:59
I think probably. So what does that do to their
20:01
business model? That's not good news for their
20:03
business because if they're making well, let's call it 70
20:08
percent of Revenue and I don't know what the numbers are for
20:10
cracking. But for coinbase, I think it's
20:12
something like 70 to 80% or of their revenue is coming.
20:16
From the listing and trading of new.
20:19
Can we curse on here of new altcoins, Joey Service as much
20:24
as you want. This is shit coin.
20:25
So so shit coins. If they're trading, you know, if
20:29
they're launching and trading new shit coins in there making
20:31
70 percent, 80 percent of their revenue from that business
20:35
activity and then you know the SEC comes out and says, okay
20:38
well we officially think ethereum is a security there for
20:43
you guys are trading Securities. Therefore, you need a license to
20:46
trade Charities. And if you don't do that, here's
20:49
all the fines. By the way, you have to delist
20:51
all these different coins. Like if that happens, any US
20:56
domiciled, exchange is now has to become that and then they're
21:01
regulated. Is that in that opens up a whole
21:03
new can of worms and complexities and difficulties.
21:08
If your business is doing that now, the other interesting part
21:11
is you're starting to see all these Large Legacy financial
21:15
institutions entering that market.
21:17
Now Samsung announced that they're going to be doing it out
21:20
of South Korea. They filed to open an exchange
21:24
and you've got BlackRock announced this year.
21:26
Then you've got it was Fidelity, Citadel and Sequoia, are teaming
21:30
up to launch their own and then NASDAQ just announced.
21:35
So what happens there, you know, when you have these Legacy
21:38
institutions entering this market for competition with
21:40
these guys. So I suspect there's like a
21:43
whole array. A of factors.
21:46
I mean I don't know. I'm not going to guess that as
21:48
motivation, but I got made me. Look at it.
21:51
What? They're coming up against here,
21:52
probably in the next couple of years, it's going to be pretty
21:55
brutal. Probably 100%.
21:59
I agree with you. It's it's interesting to say the
22:02
least. Let's see where this goes Opti.
22:06
What are your thoughts on this man?
22:08
Are we your the in-house truth or like you always say you are
22:12
the The. I don't know how else to say
22:17
about time. Well, honestly Nikka, you know,
22:20
I said all the time, Nico Jones on the case.
22:22
And I really, I think you have a point here.
22:25
I mean it does seem like Jesse is getting out of the way of
22:30
what may be an oncoming train towards crackin.
22:34
But I also am remembering that Jay Powell was in the news.
22:39
A little while ago for like the company there was like some
22:44
in-house sjw's at didn't The company culture and they made a
22:47
big scene about it and he basically said, like look if you
22:50
don't like the company culture, you guys can walk.
22:52
So I wonder if that's also something that, you know, made
22:56
him want to step down. It's like maybe he, you know,
22:59
got pushed out internally and and these kind of just like
23:03
saving himself from the oncoming train but furthermore, you know,
23:07
he kind of he kind of did the Sailor move as well, where he
23:10
said, like I'm stepping down to advocate for Bitcoin and you
23:13
know, for Bitcoin advocacy. So You know, it's going to be
23:16
interesting to see what he does now because he is an OG Bitcoin
23:19
and he's been around for a long time so I'm sure he will
23:22
continue to do some cool stuff and and I'm excited to see what
23:27
he's gonna do, you know? So I think though that you do
23:31
kind of are making a good point though Nico and and it's just
23:35
further data points that we are going into the mainstream
23:37
Spotlight, guys. Like this is where we at right
23:40
now. Bitcoin is cross the Rubicon and
23:43
we are in the mainstream Consciousness whether Like it or
23:46
not and I think people should prepare for that.
23:48
So this is part of the Bitcoin adoption in Mass adoption that
23:51
we all want and hey people are going to do what they need to do
23:55
to protect themselves. So shout out to Jessie Powell.
23:58
I'm sure I'm sure he's going to come up with some cool stuff and
24:00
I'm interested to see what else he comes up with 100%.
24:04
Hopefully, whatever he does. Next has nothing to do with
24:07
should coins. Many ways.
24:09
A continuation of yesterday. Let's see if YouTube pulls our
24:14
stream. When we get into this topic
24:17
again Opti, I'm not going to cover what you're covering.
24:20
I'm going to take a different angle.
24:22
We covered this yesterday, US military brought bought Mass
24:25
surveillance tool that captures 90% of the internet.
24:28
So we're not going to reread it, but this came out as well.
24:32
This came out, came out a couple days ago game, like about a week
24:36
ago. Five days ago, which we haven't
24:38
covered on the show. U.s.
24:39
Senator Wyden border. Agents are searching phones
24:43
without warrants and storing data for Fifteen years.
24:47
So, Connect the dots, okay? U.s. government buys tools to
24:56
surveillance surveilled the entire internet.
24:59
If a border agent gets your phone, they copy your phone
25:03
without a warrant and then they store your data for 15 years
25:07
now, a couple things. First, these are the same people
25:12
that want you to trust them. With Central Bank, digital
25:14
currencies. Are you crazy?
25:17
Are you nuts? Look at what they're doing,
25:19
already. No warrant, no, nothing.
25:22
Our Spying on, you does they don't even have to ask you for
25:25
permission. Why.
25:29
Right? And then the other component,
25:30
right? And the sovereign individual
25:32
touched upon this and they said, as it becomes easier, because
25:39
Information Technology said in digital money like they would
25:42
say, gives you the ability to vote with your wallet but also
25:46
your feet. You could take your wealth with
25:48
you, you're going to see a lot of economic migrants.
25:50
You're already starting to see this already on like on a micro
25:54
micro car micros topic. I can't say the word.
25:58
But you guys were saying on a smaller scale, when you're
26:01
seeing economic migrants fleeing from New York from California,
26:05
they're going to Texas, they're going to Florida, right?
26:08
Some are going to Puerto Rico right there, looking for better
26:11
opportunities. I suspect Having a US
26:16
citizenship. And I'm calling this right now
26:19
because the u.s. is one of the only countries that even if you
26:24
live abroad and you earn abroad you still have to pay taxes to
26:28
the IRS, right? I suspect just like it was
26:31
predicted in the sovereign individual.
26:33
You're going to start to see economic migration so like how
26:37
there's a lot of illegal migration going into United
26:40
States. What I suspect is you're going
26:42
to start to see people perhaps not Crossing In the border into
26:46
the u.s. but crossing the border out of the US and Bitcoin
26:51
facilitates that because it makes it tremendously easy to
26:56
store your money in your head if you really want to.
26:59
But take a look at what those border guards are doing, how
27:03
long into that Border guard software says, Hey, where's your
27:07
Bitcoin wallet? Hey, I'm going to, I'm going to
27:10
get a hold of your, your cold card.
27:12
I'm not going to give it back to you.
27:13
It was actually nvk. Who brought?
27:15
This up when we came on the show, right?
27:17
There's Little Machines right now, the Border stations at the
27:20
airports are, whatever that they make an exact photocopy of your
27:23
phone. How long until they have those
27:25
machines for Hardware wallets? How long until that happens,
27:29
right? So cup, two things here, right?
27:33
Is, how could you trust these people with Central Bank?
27:37
Digital currencies, they're already spying on you.
27:40
They don't admit to it, they're searching your stuff without a
27:43
warrant. Why would you trust them with?
27:45
More power. That's number one.
27:47
Number two, it's going to be interesting crossing the border
27:52
with with Hardware wallets in the next couple of years.
27:55
Man, the next 5 to 10 years, I would not be surprised if they
27:59
had specially designed machines, to copy the information on your
28:05
Hardware wallet. And I think if it's officially
28:08
encrypted enough, if it's like something like a cold card, it
28:11
doesn't mean that the the that they might that they'll be able
28:14
to take the Bitcoin off your cold card.
28:17
But would you feel comfortable leaving your colds.
28:20
Hard with your private Keys stored in it with the US border
28:24
and Customs border patrol, would you?
28:26
I don't know, man, this is crazy, how it's playing out and
28:29
once again, I know I'm a broken record when it comes to this.
28:33
The sovereign individual was so freaking spot-on.
28:38
And if you guys haven't read it, you're missing out.
28:40
Anyways. Alex, what are your thoughts on
28:42
this? I know it's a lot to unpack.
28:45
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff there, like, whole Central Bank,
28:48
digital currency thing. The movement thing, all of it,
28:51
the surveillance State, something I'm curious about.
28:54
And those reports of people's phones being copied, are they
28:57
copying us Nationals? Phones.
28:59
Are they copying people? Who aren't US citizens folks?
29:04
Apparently, apparently it's both a apparently, it's everybody.
29:07
Apparently, it's everybody with with.
29:11
So when you are inserted, quote country to quote, the thing, CBP
29:15
zbp confirmed during the briefing, that it stores, this
29:18
deeply personal data taken without a warrant signed by a
29:21
judge from Americans phones for 15 years and permits
29:25
approximately 20 Summit. 2700 DHS Personnel to search this
29:32
data at any time for Any reason all of that without a warrant
29:36
and the same people want you to trust them with Central Bank,
29:41
digital currencies. Yeah, that seems kind of insane
29:44
to me. So is this happening as a
29:49
standard practice now at Customs and Border Patrol when you enter
29:53
the country at all points of Entry or just like a one-off
29:56
kind of thing where they're doing it and they're seeing if
29:59
they can get away with it, like what is going on here?
30:01
You know, I think so from what I've heard from personal
30:05
experience. I know that they have machines.
30:07
Specially made machines at airports right now and I'm
30:11
pretty sure at border crossings even though I can't.
30:14
I haven't seen that personally at a border crossing but
30:17
specifically if you're coming into United States and let's
30:19
say, they pull you aside and they want to search your phone.
30:22
What they'll do is they'll take. So it's an international Port of
30:25
Entry. If you become a person of
30:27
interest even temporarily, they're taking your phones and
30:31
copying correct. That's that's It's not a warrant
30:35
without a pretty, that's pretty unbelievable.
30:37
Like the degree to, which this is progressing and how fast it's
30:41
progressing. I think people are going to, in
30:44
terms of the migration thing. I think people need to figure
30:47
out where they want to be sooner rather than later because if
30:52
they Implement some kind of thing where they're logging,
30:55
look, the three pillars of tyranny are going to be control
30:58
of energy control of food control of movement.
31:00
Have always been that way, will always be that way.
31:03
So, So, what are we seeing right now?
31:04
We're seeing energy issues or seeing food issues and the whole
31:09
vaccine passport thing set up, sort of the framing for allowing
31:14
governments to create these various different systems that
31:17
will control your movement if your non-compliant with the way
31:20
they think, or the way they want you to think, right?
31:24
So this is all very dangerous stuff, man, for sure.
31:27
And I'm thinking that people need to figure out where they
31:31
need to be or want to be and take steps and take actions to
31:36
be prepared to do that. If things go kind of sideways.
31:39
I mean, I lived in Central America for 11 years, I enjoyed
31:43
it quite a bit. I like it quite a bit.
31:47
I came back to the United States.
31:48
One of the reasons why was because, you know, ye they're
31:53
not like America. America was founded on this
31:55
concept of freedom and sovereignty and I You know,
31:59
Sovereign, people have a right to bear arms, you know, the
32:02
Swiss are very similar in their thinking, there's this
32:05
apparently there's this can't on in Switzerland where the men
32:09
show up to vote carrying swords on their back.
32:13
As a symbol of their freedom and their sovereignty, like, we're
32:15
free men, free men. Don't, don't need to ask the
32:18
government's permission to bear arms.
32:20
Otherwise, you're not free. That's the idea.
32:23
And so I think we're at this point where, like, I came back
32:29
to the US because that was one of the major things you can't
32:32
bear arms down in Panama. You don't have, you know,
32:34
private citizens, can't do that. That's another, that's another
32:37
thing. It's like, it's great.
32:39
If you have an Administration right now who's awesome for the
32:42
people. But what if that changes, right?
32:44
Like anbu Kelly's case like this is fantastic.
32:47
I think he's, I personally, I think what are you doing now?
32:49
There's amazing, like, he's crushing the crime rate like the
32:51
murder rate. I think it's higher in
32:53
Philadelphia now than in El Salvador, because of what he's
32:58
done with. Of that.
32:58
But what happens if that changes you know what I mean?
33:01
So that's the reason why I've chosen to stay in the u.s. dude.
33:06
It's it's it's absolutely it's very scary where this is going
33:12
completely against the Fourth Amendment.
33:14
No unreasonable searches and seizures this is completely
33:17
unreasonable this is completely this is completely it but it's
33:21
like they're just throwing it away and I suspect that they're
33:24
going to continue ignoring all of these whether it's free.
33:28
I'm of speech, whether it's the right to bear arms, whether it's
33:31
the fourth amendment as they continue to lose their Monopoly
33:35
on money, and as kind as they continue, and they have been
33:39
continuing to lose their Monopoly on the control of
33:42
information, right? They were able to capture a lot
33:45
of the Legacy Media Outlets, whether that was the New York
33:49
Times, whether that was, you know, the New York Post, right?
33:54
Whether that was, you know, the whatever, all those Legacy
33:57
institutions. They used to sell the public on
34:00
weapons of mass destruction in the 2003, you know, Iraq war,
34:04
right? Imagine if social media was a
34:06
thing, they would not have been able to sell the public on that.
34:09
So we're watching the disintermediation of these two
34:12
powerful, levers of control that governments had for so long so
34:18
and I suspect, they're just going to throw the Constitution
34:21
and all tan it all its limitations on the role of
34:24
government out the window as They?
34:30
In their quest to try to remain in power in their quest to
34:34
continue the racket alive. It is very scary.
34:37
I'm just happy. I live in in a freedom oriented
34:41
State Opti. What are your thoughts, brother?
34:45
Well, first off, I love it. Normalize carrying swords to go
34:49
vote. Free men, don't ask for
34:51
permission. Hold on, hold on a second.
34:56
Don't do that in your state. If you can.
35:01
Anyway my thoughts on the actual topic is like wow man.
35:05
Yeah, then it simply Bitcoin Advocates carrying swords.
35:08
It's a joke. I'm joking.
35:10
I'm joking. But like it's in a serious in
35:14
the series crazy bitcoiners, you know, on a serious note like,
35:18
wow, you know, this is almost unbelievable the violations of
35:21
our rights but as someone that is paying, you know, this close
35:25
attention to what is going on, like, nothing surprises me at
35:28
this point. And, you know, Oh, like I
35:31
jokingly say it all the time, like if you're a Bitcoin and
35:33
you're afraid of getting being added to some government list,
35:35
like I have news for you, like you're already on one.
35:37
So again, again, sorry, Nico more too much joking today.
35:42
But what did cnut say, when he came on the show the other day,
35:45
you know, that Bitcoin gives the home of the free and land of the
35:48
Brave, like a whole new meaning, because now, it's in cyberspace.
35:51
You know, it's digital like you can vote with your feet and you
35:54
can opt out with Bitcoin and this is a feature, not a bug.
35:57
And so like I think we will see Soon enough like the full
36:03
sovereign individual thesis play out, and bitcoiners will start
36:06
moving and figuring out where the free is place for us to live
36:09
and where we are. You know able to live freely
36:13
with the least amount of coercion and Forge.
36:16
So you know, this is just part of the theory playing out but
36:20
Nica you sparked an idea in my head like about the TSA you know
36:23
they are already asking us about our computers and our technology
36:27
that were carrying like when are they going to start asking us if
36:29
we're carrying Hardware? Wallets and and, you know to put
36:32
them in certain little bags and boxes and do what you said.
36:35
So like I think it's coming it's you know, reading the writing on
36:40
the wall, it's probably soon TM. So hey man, we are living in
36:44
some crazy times. Oh Jesus, that's why projects
36:47
like the seed signers so important man.
36:49
You know, it's funny. I think they're going to start
36:53
making more Incognito Hardware wallets.
36:55
I think it's just a matter of time.
36:56
Oh, this is just a calculator. I don't know what you're talking
36:59
about. Anyways.
37:00
Let's get to the culture. The daily culture brought to you
37:06
by Swan Bitcoin.com, Swan is the best way to build your Bitcoin
37:10

37:20
incentivize self custody and dollar cost averaging.
37:24
What do you waiting for visit Swan Bitcoin.com today, Nico.
37:31
You're slacking, you're slacking.
37:34
I am stocking. I'm just fucking.
37:36
Holy crap, I am slacking you sidetracked, it's Saturday.
37:41
Dude, you Saturday episodes are the ones that I want to take it.
37:46
Even a break. I want to take it easy, bro.
37:48
I've been traveling. I went from Miami know, I went
37:51
from Puerto Rico to escape the hurricane went to Miami stated
37:55
Miami. For a day.
37:56
Are our show got rug pulled by YouTube yesterday.
38:00
And now I'm in Nashville for a week, I'm sorry Opti.
38:03
Okay, my mind is fried. I'm so I'm looking forward to
38:06
taking a little bit of a break, guys.
38:08
I want to tell you about the largest, the biggest, the best
38:12
Bitcoin conference on the west coast November 10th.
38:16
Through the 11th in Los Angeles, California.
38:19

38:23
Earl in Alden core eclipse. And c.j.
38:25
Wilson. Jeff oof Dylan Leclair.
38:28
There's so many guys swan. Mark Moss Parker Lewis dr.
38:32
Jeff Ross, Nico and Opti are going to be doing a live simply
38:36
coin. Look at you, man.
38:37
We're going to be doing a live simply Bitcoin from the Pacific
38:41

38:44
this. Awesome celebration.
38:46
You could take advantage of the promo code, simply to get a huge
38:50
discount on your Pacific Bitcoin tickets on a side note.
38:55
I am going to have to send my mother that website so she can
38:58
see me on Anyways, guys, let's get into the culture today.
39:04
As you guys can see. As you're watching this, I added
39:07
this legendary mean by my buddy, Nico, and I do have it on the
39:12
soundboard against Bitcoin, you're against Freedom.
39:15
Then I wanted to start today's culture segment with this
39:18
context because we fundamentally believe, if you're against
39:21
Bitcoin you're against freedom. And you guys need to own up to
39:25
this idea that if you are fighting Bitcoin, then you are
39:29
fighting for Freedom and hey, that's your cross to bear.
39:33
But you're going to have to explain yourself.
39:35
So, to this extent, I saw the strad by Sean Ono Lennon and I
39:41
hit me personally because I grew up loving the Beatles And I I
39:46
absolutely love. You know, when I was younger, I
39:49
love the ideas of you know what John Lennon was was exposing
39:55
whether he was right or not. I was, I was a believer in the
39:58
idea of just give love it. Love a chance, you know peace.
40:01
Imagine peace on planet Earth and how that would look.
40:05
But at the time didn't have Bitcoin and didn't have the
40:07
tools and we do now. So, furthermore, the he this
40:12
dread he put out is pure signal. And it's only fitting
40:15
considering what happened yesterday on yesterday's show
40:17
that I thought were just going to continue to double down on
40:19
this idea. So here's Sean Ono.
40:21
Lennon on Twitter and he goes, you may not like Bitcoin, but
40:24
the central banks of the world have noticed in our concocting,
40:27
their antidote cbbc's inversely. The antidote to see bdcs is BTC
40:32
eventually. There will be only one choice
40:34
between Financial slavery, to Center Authority or self
40:37
sovereignty through BTC. He says, this is just my
40:40
opinion, it is also my opinion as well Shawn, but it's hard to
40:43
imagine any other outcome. Once the dollars fully digital,
40:46
they will have full control. The only asset they will not be
40:49
able to control will be BTC. That's why this movement is so
40:53
important. Forget crypto Bros and ftes.
40:55
And whether mining uses solar panels or not, this is about the
40:58
potential for the ruling class. To take complete control over
41:01
their subjects or inversely the potential for the people of the
41:04
world, to finally be free Satoshi made real Freedom
41:07
possible and he says, okay I'll shut up.
41:09
And we say this all the time that Shaw knows what it is.
41:12
It's Bitcoin or slavery and it is upon you to make that choice
41:16
today. As we as we continue to tell you
41:19
guys on this show it is digital slavery through CBD sees where
41:24
you are tracked bag, completely controlled.
41:27
You can get shut off from the financial system.
41:29
If you don't have the right thought, you know, if you have
41:32
the wrong dot, the thought police, the ministry of truth
41:35
will shut you down when you going like they did yesterday.
41:38
Maybe supposedly allegedly, and this is the life, and the world
41:42
that they want you to live in is a world where you can't speak
41:45
your mind where you can't fundamentally participate in the
41:49
free market because they're going to tell you what you need
41:51
to do, who you need to listen to and what you know, the experts
41:55
tell you or else you're going to get cut off from the system,
41:58
like this is absolutely insane. In clown, World, orwellian
42:02
level, authoritarian, and tyranny here.
42:05
And this is why we show up every single day.
42:07
This is why we do what we do because we have the tools now.
42:11
And you can opt out with Bitcoin, you know, say what you
42:14
want about the price volatility and all that stuff.
42:16
But it's irrelevant because we have the tools to finally take
42:20
back our freedom and our sovereignty through money.
42:23
Because if they can control the money, then they can control
42:26
every other aspect about you. And we are living in a world
42:29
where the World. The money is already digital.
42:31
They already have pretty much full control.
42:33
They can cancel you. They can make sure they shut
42:36
down your Banks. And now, they want even more
42:38
control. And as Nico pointed out in the
42:40
news, these people are not to be trusted, you do not want to hand
42:44
over your freedom, you do not want to opt into the CB DC
42:47
system because it means complete slavery.
42:50
It is Bitcoin or it is slavery or as Nico.
42:54
So eloquently put her against Bitcoin, you're against Freedom.
42:57
So guys, this is why we do We do.
43:00
This is why we always tell you, you guys are Frontline soldiers
43:02
in the information War because the tools are out there and
43:05
people need to understand that you can opt out of this madness
43:08
today by Saving and Bitcoin. It is not about, you know, the
43:12
Fiat gains it's about taking back your personal freedom,
43:16
taking back your money and taking back your life.
43:18
And this is why we get so riled up every single day on this show
43:22
because the stakes are high right now guys.
43:24
Like we are playing for all the marbles and Bitcoin is coming
43:28
for the milkshake. So what are we going to do?
43:32
We're going to continue to Stacks at, we're going to
43:34
continue to take our Bitcoin itself, custody.
43:36
We're going to use an Ode to verify our transactions, so that
43:39
we do not fall back into this crazy Madness.
43:42
This clown world that we're living in, because these
43:45
Psychopaths these parasites at the top, they want you tracked
43:49
and bag. So that you cannot speak freely
43:51
so that you cannot interact with the truth, with the true nature
43:54
of reality. They wanted to store everything
43:57
about you and shut you off from reality.
43:59
And this is why we come so hard every single day because I
44:02
fundamentally believe the stakes are extremely high and it's
44:06
Bitcoin or it is slavery rant over Nika.
44:09
Jump in dude when I said that at Bitcoin 2021 I had no idea.
44:14
It would blow up the way it did Rolling Stones had a picture
44:19
with us on the top which is fatzke Financial Times, came out
44:23
with an article fucking crazy, dude.
44:25
I can't believe this shit and I never forget.
44:30
I never forget, I never forget, I never forget Erik Voorhees
44:36
that came right after and I got under his skin so hard.
44:40
And what was it? That was the first thing that he
44:41
said, he said. Who is that guy?
44:43
What? What?
44:44
He's? Yeah, I forgot what you said.
44:45
Like it's not Bitcoin or Freedom.
44:48
Like who is? Yeah, I know you.
44:49
Dude. He's the, he's the oh no.
44:51
Yeah, he was saying about me. Yeah, dude, he throw it.
44:53
He got bro. It got under so many people's
44:56
skin, but I mean, like, look like even someone said in the
44:58
comments it's like, well, I remember that.
44:59
Any going person Erik Voorhees with the courage follow up dude,
45:03
the flag is the flag is heaviest over the target.
45:08
The reality is right? That if you are against Bitcoin,
45:12
if you are against what Bitcoin represents, it's because you
45:15
want to control people and Bitcoin is the thing that stands
45:22
between you and them. That's why the White House
45:25
released the report that it did that's why people like Jamie
45:28
dimon are calling it upon Z. Scheme, Warren Buffett didn't
45:32
even try to dress it up. He said it himself.
45:34
This is rat. Poison squared.
45:36
He hates he hates the ability. That this will give people.
45:40
Christine Lagarde has the infamous.
45:44
If there's an escape valve people will use it.
45:46
Well guess what? Christine Lagarde Bitcoin is the
45:49
escape valve, right? So yeah if you're against
45:53
Bitcoin you're against Freedom a Bitcoin, you're against Freedom
45:57
you're a tyrant, right? And Exposes tyrants and it shows
46:01
them for what they are. But Opti I feel blushed and I
46:04
feel bad for a guest because you made the culture segment about
46:07
me and that sucks used it as a just, I mean, it wasn't supposed
46:11
to be about Unicode, humble yourself.
46:14
It was just context for the culture story because I do, I
46:18
know, Alex believes the same thing.
46:19
I've heard him rant on Cafe Bitcoin before.
46:22
So I'm I'm the one interested in what he's going to say, Niko?
46:26
It's not about you. Okay?
46:28
All right. Good.
46:28
As long as it's not about, Out me because Bitcoin isn't about
46:31
anybody. It's about everybody.
46:33
Alex, yeah. So I definitely believe that
46:36
Bitcoin is about the freedom and it might be the only path we
46:38
have right now. Without it's the only peaceful
46:41
path. Like if Bitcoin doesn't succeed,
46:44
like that's a pretty dark future.
46:48
Potentially, I agree with. I will say that.
46:54
Like, I don't think it's necessarily black and white.
46:56
If you're against Bitcoin, you're against Freedom.
46:58
It might be like, there are people that that's Before but
47:03
then there's going to be a whole bunch of people who don't
47:05
understand Bitcoin yet. Are they against Freedom?
47:08
Not necessarily. I think that we need to give
47:11
these people Grace. Like I'm a big believer in
47:13
Grace. I think we need to show Grace.
47:15
There's a lot of folks who just don't understand it yet.
47:18
They don't understand what it is like me.
47:20
And my girl talk about this all the time is like that guy's a
47:22
Bitcoin are you just doesn't know it yet.
47:25
Right, they just need to figure it out.
47:27
So, yeah, I do. I do think that that's part of
47:30
that pillar of control of energy control of energy, control of
47:33
food, control of movement. Money actually is a control of
47:38
energy. If I, it's a function of control
47:40
of energy, right? Because I'm in the camp that I
47:45
think Michael sailor looked at it like this, I'm not going to
47:47
speak for him but I've heard him say this that it's basically
47:50
digital energy. I think that's right.
47:53
And that comes from our perspective.
47:54
Storage of your labor. What is money?
47:58
This is very basic, first principles kind of stuff, you
48:02
know. So if you don't have control
48:05
over the fruits of your labor line, that's the opposite of
48:08
cdc's. Because I just saw like the
48:10
digital you on, they just piloted this thing where they
48:12
can put an expiration date on the money.
48:15
That's insane. So what does that mean?
48:17
So if you're a part of the digital you on part of the CBD,
48:20
see if you don't spend it by a certain date it's no longer
48:23
useful at just expires or whatever.
48:26
So, that is forced velocity of money and it's forcing you also
48:31
to not be able to save. Well, why would they want that?
48:35
Well, if you can't save, you can't accumulate Capital.
48:37
If you can't accumulate Capital, you basically are 100% dependent
48:42
on the government. Meaning, if you don't do it,
48:44
they want. If you don't They would say what
48:46
they want to think, like they want you to think, then they can
48:51
just shut you down, shut you off.
48:53
It's the opposite of freedom. And it's a very, very dangerous
48:58
potential future and there's a whole slice of the population
49:02
that I think we need. Yeah, absolutely.
49:05
It slavery. Somebody just in the, in the
49:07
chat just said, it's slavery. 100%.
49:08
Agree with that. There's this group slice of the
49:12
population. You know, I used to look at
49:15
Things like the Holocaust and things like that.
49:17
I used to always think to myself how could the people let that
49:21
happen, right? And I never understood it.
49:24
I was like, how could that actually happen?
49:27
And the answer is. And I've figured this out this
49:31
year, there is a group, a slice of the population.
49:34
I call them the government harder daddy people, they like
49:37
rules. They love it.
49:39
They love the rules or like Gimme More rules more.
49:43
Let's have more rules. Let's More rules and in fact we
49:48
should be ruled and you should be ruled harder.
49:51
They love that shit. I don't know where that comes
49:54
from honestly because I don't think that way, but I've come to
49:57
the realization, there actually are a group, a segment of the
50:00
population that supports that kind of shit.
50:02
What they don't realize is. They're coming for the people.
50:08
You don't like, will guess what they're coming for you next?
50:13
And I saw this tweet by this gal, like, you know, Trudeau the
50:18
other day tweeted. I think it was yesterday.
50:20
Tweeted out, he's talking about, we support the people of irony,
50:23
and in their fight for freedom and all this other kind of stuff
50:25
against oppression and this one chick retweeted it and she's
50:28
like, dude, you froze, my bank account, which got this huge
50:33
Litany of responses, many of, which were from these rural
50:37
people, their state assists, you know, they're basically like
50:40
well, you shouldn't have broke the law.
50:41
It's like those are the same. People who will be cheering on
50:45
the Jack Boots as they load people into fucking cattle, cars
50:48
to take them to be. Removed from the equation
50:52
disappeared overnight though. The same fucking people wake up
50:56
because you gotta be careful. You got to be careful that be
51:00
the future. You don't think so.
51:01
It's happened in the past. Why couldn't it be in the
51:03
future? Yeah, dude.
51:06
And those people, those people Lennon used to call them useful
51:12
idiots. Right?
51:15
And I think it really stems from the urge of wanting to fit in.
51:20
So, Bad and feeling that they are empowered by the collective
51:26
that they blind themselves to all the actions that this
51:33
Collective is doing in order to achieve the greater good and one
51:37
of the things that scared the crap out of me, the last two
51:39
years was exactly what you said, Alex.
51:44
Some people just want to be governed, they just, they just
51:48
want to be told what to feel safer.
51:50
They feel safer when there's lots of rules.
51:53
Yep. Even after even after the people
51:57
in charge, their so-called betters the elites continue to
52:02
get it wrong and continue to lie and then they attack anybody
52:07
who's going against the mainstream the current thing,
52:11
right? That Medium is perfect anyone
52:13
who's The current thing and collectivism.
52:18
And it's, it's catastrophic. It's killed hundreds of millions
52:21
of people throughout history, but I think we have a way, we
52:24
have now a tool to protect the individual, and that's what
52:29
makes me so bullish about Bitcoin.
52:31
Now, in terms of your, your criticism, on the, if you're
52:36
against Bitcoin, you're against freedom.
52:37
I you know what? I agree with you.
52:39
I think you're spot on. I think that there's just people
52:41
that don't know and in Just because they don't know, that
52:45
doesn't necessarily mean that they just don't know, they think
52:49
they know and I feel the, I feel the word, I feel the most bad
52:54
for people that are have been pension have been promised.
52:57
These government pensions people that are on fixed income and
53:02
those are the people that are going to be hurt the most.
53:05
If The money printer dies. And they're definitely going to
53:09
want a scapegoat and unfortunately, the scapegoat is
53:12
gonna be the bitcoiners. So yeah, man, but I think it
53:17
falls to all of us as Educators. You guys do an amazing job at
53:20
Cafe Bitcoin and, you know, we try to hunker down and in the
53:25
Alex Jones version of Bitcoin content at simply Bitcoin to try
53:30
to, to try to try to get as many people as humanly possible to
53:34
take that orange pill. Pretty awesome culture segment.
53:38
Let's get to the news. The daily meme review brought to
53:45
you by B box to bitcoin, only additional Hardware wallet by
53:48
shift crypto crypto like cryptography.
53:51
It's secure, it's open source and it's so easy, your mom can
53:55
set it up. Self custody is the revolution
53:58
in the bit box. Makes it simple, do not leave
54:01
your Bitcoin on an exchange order a bit box today.
54:06
Let's go. Okay guys, so you already know
54:11
what I'm going to say as Nico always says, tweets are the
54:15
bullets. But memes are the artillery in
54:19
this memetic Warfare right now, guys.
54:20
So you guys are the Frontline soldiers.
54:23
You guys are out here spreading the signal.
54:25
You know, this this is why we do what we do.
54:27
This is why we try to show you guys the memes, because the
54:32
memes are not just entertainment their calls to action.
54:35
And, and You know what's the saying a picture is worth a
54:38
thousand words or whatever? Butchering all the memes.
54:43
But anyways guys let's get into this first meme.
54:46
Shout out to my boy Ray by elevator and he goes when I see
54:49
Bitcoin dip and I know you guys saw this clip of the baseball ER
54:53
but I really like the the Bitcoin ization of it.
54:56
And so when the dip happens, me stacking SATs I watched this
55:04
clip like three time for. I watched it so many times the
55:08
original one as well. All right.
55:09
This next one, shouts out the Maxis Club.
55:12
I really love what you're doing, bro, I really love the graphics
55:15
and and just the route that you're taking with all these
55:18
memes, bro. And he goes 159, so I'm guessing
55:20
this is number 159 of the memes and he goes return.
55:24
My kidnapper is returning me after listening to me, talk
55:27
about Bitcoin for 24 hours straight and they're throwing
55:30
the little Peg. Through his own window with his
55:33
little bit coin. Yes, I'm sure I'm sure we annoy
55:37
everyone out there because we continuously talk about Bitcoin.
55:41
And this next one, I had this one because I knew I knew we're
55:44
going to talk about the Kraken is so shouts out the Morpheus
55:47
BTC. And he goes Bitcoin, running
55:49
fine, without a CEO and he goes cracking CEO hearing about
55:53
Securities laws and it's the SpongeBob Meme.
55:56
I-i'm a head out, I love that mean this pond.
56:01
A meme is one of my favorite memes.
56:03
Anyways, this next one, I did a little shorter memes today
56:07
because of this one's a little longer, but shot outside the
56:10
documenting BTC. I think this, this makes you
56:14
know, like, my job, way easier by just illustrating this.
56:16
So, Bitcoin is going up to Infinity because it's Supply is
56:20
finite. Let me see.
56:21
Hopefully you guys can see this completely.
56:24
Wait. You guys have see it there?
56:28
I don't know if the fullscreen work better or not, but you can
56:31
see number goes up because everything divided by 21
56:35
million. This is a feature, not a bug
56:38
hard cab is a feature and not a bug.
56:41
So number goes up, this is why we do what we do.
56:44
I don't have to play it all, but shouts out to a documenting BTC,
56:47
as you can see, as the blocks come in and the price goes up.
56:52
It will go to Infinity because it supplies, finite, 21 million.
56:56
Hard cap is the way. And this next one, shouts out
56:59
the Big, Sean Harris. I know you guys felt the, you
57:01
know, at least Bitcoin Twitter is becoming, you know, fed
57:05
Twitter now and we're all were all watching.
57:07
What Jay Powell is doing. We're all watching what's going
57:09
on with the interest rates in the bond market.
57:12
You know, it's funny how bitcoiners instantly on a dime
57:16
become experts in every topic. So, she heads out the Big John
57:20
Harris. He goes, hey bud, I here.
57:22
Coin is down. How's that little thing going
57:24
for you? And it's the NPC's with all the
57:28
markets in Reds because it's been a bloody Market out there,
57:31
the getting absolutely wrecked. Anyways for my meme review score
57:37
today, I was going to give it this this, you know, this this
57:44
thing that I got. But I think what I'm going to
57:46
give it is its giant pimple on my chin.
57:53

58:02
this studio, a Bitcoin Park. So some Bitcoin Park hand
58:06

58:11
What would you give those memes? Overall or individually.
58:17

58:20
Yeah. I think the, I think the one
58:22
throwing the Bitcoin or back through the window having been
58:27
captured by his kidnappers and non-stop talking about.
