  Welcome to the most watched Bitcoin only daily live show on
• 0:35
  YouTube rumble and X We're back bro.
• 0:38
  We survived the most epic Bitcoin mining conference, the
• 0:42
  largest mining conference in the world.
• 0:43
  Of course, I'm talking about Mining Disrupt here, hosted in
• 0:46
  my hometown of Miami, FL Opti and I, dude, that was 3/12 hour
• 0:51
  days back-to-back. The first day, I think we spent
• 0:53
  like 10 hours just setting up. The first day we had like some
• 0:56
  trouble with the Internet. We got the live stream going and
• 0:59
  then the second day we finished off strong.
• 1:01
  Really excited to be doing it next year.
• 1:02
  Made so many, just made so many friends, man, that the whole
• 1:05
  mining industry is incredibly exciting.
• 1:08
  So much stuff that we saw and we're back.
• 1:10
  We're back, guys. Simply Bitcoin Live is back.
• 1:13
  Opti's here in the flesh with me in Miami.
• 1:15
  How you doing bro? Are you OK?
• 1:17
  Have you survived? I'm doing wonderful.
• 1:20
  Yeah, I feel great. I, you know, I just got a little
• 1:22
  workout in with Sal in person over at Nikko's house.
• 1:26
  I feel wonderful. It was a it was a long couple of
• 1:28
  days, but it was well worth it, man.
• 1:31
  I have AI have a blast every time we do the AV at a, at a
• 1:34
  conference, man, It's just, it's so much fun.
• 1:36
  This is, this is our lives, bro. This is our jobs.
• 1:39
  Like we're, we're blessed here, man.
• 1:40
  We're blessed. And I get to hang out with
• 1:41
  Nikko. You know, we got some good food,
• 1:43
  hung out with wine in person. It was great.
• 1:45
  It's a great time, actually. Not to dox Nico too much, but my
• 1:50
  favorite part was seeing you with the baby, bro.
• 1:51
  It was good to see Nico and Daddy mode.
• 1:54
  You know, we only really talk about work on the Internet, but
• 1:56
  it's very, very adorable watching Nico with baby, with
• 2:00
  the little baby Nico out there. And yeah, man, it's great.
• 2:03
  It's great. Yeah, man, it's great to be
• 2:05
  back. And we got we got two more shows
• 2:08
  for you guys, this, this for the rest of the week, of course,
• 2:10
  today and then coming up tomorrow.
• 2:12
  But some crazy news. the US government and the German
• 2:16
  government selling hundreds of Bitcoin, think hundreds, like
• 2:19
  thousands of Bitcoin, which is kind of weird.
• 2:22
  Like I get it, like it's like an ideological thing.
• 2:25
  It kind of doesn't make sense at the same time because it's like
• 2:27
  I'm gonna sell this thing that has an app that has absolute
• 2:30
  scarcity for this thing that we could just print unlimited
• 2:34
  amounts of money. Could you imagine if the US
• 2:37
  government just sent that Bitcoin to a time locked Bitcoin
• 2:41
  address and they couldn't spend it for 20 years?
• 2:43
  You want to talk about fiscal discipline?
• 2:45
  Like literally you could do that with Bitcoin.
• 2:48
  Like literally no matter what, you can't spend the treasury.
• 2:51
  And of course it's benefiting the long term, You know, the
• 2:54
  people in the future. And we live in a world right now
• 2:57
  where the politicians that are like 8090 years old, they're
• 2:59
  like stealing from the young to benefit themselves, even though
• 3:03
  like look like you're 7080, I know like you want to like be
• 3:07
  robots and live forever. But you know, biology is a
• 3:10
  thing, right? Eventually you're going to hand
• 3:12
  all over the baton to the younger generation.
• 3:14
  I know, I know. Wait, wait, Nico, I I know we're
• 3:17
  not going to have rehash the whole conversation, but we get a
• 3:20
  lot of Flack for hating on boomers, but we had a whole
• 3:24
  boomer conversation for like an hour yesterday.
• 3:26
  That was literally exactly what you just said.
• 3:28
  It's incredible. Yeah, man.
• 3:30
  So we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about it and
• 3:32
  anything it's it's just kind of funny.
• 3:34
  Also in other news, Julian Assange, who is one of and it's
• 3:39
  and we're going to get into the history how it he relates and
• 3:42
  WikiLeaks relates to Bitcoin, of course, but he finally got a
• 3:45
  plea deal. Do I think it's a coincidence
• 3:48
  that it happened after Donald Trump went to the Libertarian
• 3:50
  conference and said, if you vote for me, I'll freeze Ross
• 3:53
  Ulbricht? No, it's not a coincidence, but
• 3:55
  I think it's also a testament to our movement.
• 3:57
  I think what this election that's coming up at the end of
• 4:01
  the year is we're heading into this kind of inflection point
• 4:05
  and you have the forces of the administrative state, some
• 4:08
  people call it the deep state. That is fueled by the money
• 4:11
  printing, which is stealing from the American people.
• 4:14
  This is probably happening in a country that you're living in,
• 4:16
  if your country has Fiat, right? And then you have this kind of
• 4:21
  like new, this new movement of of freedom minded people that it
• 4:27
  really started with the Internet and mass scale peer-to-peer
• 4:30
  communications. And now we have the money to
• 4:33
  represent this movement. And of course, Bitcoin is that
• 4:36
  money, right? So this this is election year is
• 4:38
  crazy. Bitcoin is on the ballot.
• 4:40
  Of course, you know, I'm going to say this multiple times.
• 4:42
  You have Biden, which represents anti Bitcoin stance and pro CBDC
• 4:48
  stance. And of course, on the other side
• 4:50
  of the political aisle, you have Donald Trump and you have RFK,
• 4:53
  which are both pro Bitcoin and TCBDC.
• 4:55
  So this is pretty crazy. And it's also a testament of the
• 4:58
  power of our movement, right? The fact that people like Julian
• 5:01
  Assange are being freed, the fact that Ross Ulbricht has the
• 5:04
  potential of being freed very soon represents that freedom
• 5:08
  minded people are rising all over the world.
• 5:11
  And again, this isn't just happening in the United States.
• 5:13
  This is happening worldwide. That's what Javier Malay Malay
• 5:15
  represents. That's what Nayan Buchelli
• 5:17
  represents. That's what Polier Polivar can't
• 5:19
  say his name the the Canadian politician that's running
• 5:22
  against Justin Trudeau. So, you know, I think all those
• 5:25
  Bitcoiners want the theory of the sovereign individual playing
• 5:29
  out, which is, you know, Bitcoin is going to take away importance
• 5:32
  and power away from politics. But during the transitionary
• 5:36
  period, we kind of have to deal with Fiat politics, bro.
• 5:38
  Like it's just the reality and you know, it is what it is.
• 5:41
  And that's the whole point of the show, right?
• 5:42
  We'll be your guide through the separation of money and state.
• 5:45
  Anyways, during the culture segment, we have a dear friend
• 5:48
  on the show. And of course, the legendary
• 5:50
  host of the Bitcoin Pleb party is hosted in Nashville, TN.
• 5:55
  We got Anders in the house. Anders, you've been, you've been
• 5:58
  posting quite a lifestyle on Bitcoin Twitter, jumping into
• 6:03
  rivers in Denmark, hanging out with beautiful women and people
• 6:07
  allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, you know, and just having a
• 6:11
  great time, man. So dude, thank you so much for
• 6:14
  joining us on the show today, bro.
• 6:15
  We're excited. Guys.
• 6:16
  If you haven't gotten your tickets to the pleb party,
• 6:19
  you're literally asking to pay more money because the prices do
• 6:22
  go up. And by the way, when the tickets
• 6:24
  sell out, it's like Bitcoin, there's absolute scarcity.
• 6:27
  They're not going to let you in the door.
• 6:28
  So you want to get your tickets now, bro.
• 6:30
  And of course, the whole entire simply Bitcoin crew is going to
• 6:33
  be there. It's going to be a great time.
• 6:34
  So, Anders, welcome to the show my friend.
• 6:37
  Thank you and you're right, Niko and Opti, I did spend the day in
• 6:42
  beautiful Copenhagen harbor where the water's clean enough
• 6:45
  that you can actually just jump in and boats are sailing and and
• 6:48
  you're just having a blast. To be honest, I've been having a
• 6:51
  blast the whole day. One of the highlights I got to I
• 6:54
  got to share with you here. I know it's I put it on Twitter,
• 6:56
  but still like we're now on a YouTube live feed.
• 6:59
  So if you see this smoke here, right, that is the Danish wait.
• 7:04
  Do it again. Do it again.
• 7:05
  Do. It again OK OK OK let me turn
• 7:08
  around that is the Danish tax ministry and you notice I'm not
• 7:14
  smiling because I don't know if anyone you know got hurt but
• 7:19
  nevertheless the Danish tax ministry burned down today and
• 7:22
  as you notice I'm very far away from it there's no way that I
• 7:26
  could have allegedly been involved but I.
• 7:29
  Gotta say dude that that's incredibly suspicious.
• 7:34
  Like that smile bro. Wait, wait, can we even host
• 7:38
  someone of your stature on this show on YouTube?
• 7:41
  Like no, you sure you guys? You were just swimming in that
• 7:45
  water, right? No, I was.
• 7:47
  Swimming. I did not, no.
• 7:48
  Special Forces activity with a. Couple of matches I did not do
• 7:53
  that. Oh, man, dude, that's crazy.
• 7:57
  I mean, it's also like so symbolic.
• 8:00
  Of course, this wasn't on purpose YouTube's metaphor.
• 8:02
  You know, we had nothing to do with this whatsoever.
• 8:04
  Neither did our that our guest Anders.
• 8:06
  But, you know, it's it's, it's of course, you know, you know,
• 8:09
  taxes specifically, OK, you know, income tax, you know, the
• 8:13
  social contract was established. It's a whole other debate.
• 8:16
  But most importantly, the insidious tax of inflation,
• 8:18
  right, which is not something that has ever been agreed upon
• 8:22
  in the social contract. People have been psyoped to
• 8:25
  accepting inflation the way it is.
• 8:28
  And I really think it's like the cause of a lot of people
• 8:31
  suffering. And you feel people, you see
• 8:33
  people feeling the pain. This is kind of like the reason
• 8:35
  that Opti and I were having this conversation yesterday about the
• 8:38
  boomers, bro. You know, like, I don't want to
• 8:42
  get into it. I absolutely love, you know,
• 8:44
  some boomers like Larry Lepar, Greg Foss, there's some base
• 8:48
  boomers out there, you know, of course, Gary Leland, the Bitcoin
• 8:52
  boomer. But yeah, just like there's a
• 8:54
  lot of decision making that was happening 20-30 years ago that
• 8:59
  have definitely negatively affected the future generations
• 9:02
  in terms of their ability, you know, to buy homes and all that
• 9:06
  stuff. So that's something that me and
• 9:07
  Opti were talking about it. So anyways guys, I'm super
• 9:11
  excited for the show. I'm super excited to be back and
• 9:14
  I hope you guys have a great time.
• 9:16
  But before we jump into it, I do want to give a legendary shout
• 9:19
  out to our lead sponsor and of course, talking about the best
• 9:22
  place to buy your Bitcoin. Automatic self custody Bitcoin
• 9:27
  of course. Buy real Bitcoin.
• 9:28
  Enable your independence with the fastest and safest way to
• 9:31
  buy Bitcoin in Canada and the US of A and of course I'm talking
• 9:36
  about bitcoinwell.com. It is a self custody by default
• 9:40
  Bitcoin on ramp. What the F does that mean that
• 9:43
  means that you can't buy Bitcoin on Bitcoin well, unless you you
• 9:47
  intend to take self custody, you literally can't leave it on the
• 9:50
  platform. You put in yourself custody
• 9:52
  wallet address as soon as you buy Bitcoin and your funds
• 9:54
  clear, it goes straight to self custody.
• 9:56
  You literally can't leave it on the platform, which perfectly
• 9:59
  aligns with simply Bitcoin ethos of the separation of money in
• 10:02
  state because self custody is the revolution.
• 10:04
  That's how we really change things.
• 10:06
  It's a clear 1% spread. That's the fee.
• 10:08
  It's Bitcoin only and it's completely non custodial,
• 10:11
  obviously empowering sovereign ownership with free automatic
• 10:14
  self custody. So head over to

  All right everybody, let's hit the let's hit the numbers.
• 11:18
  We have lots to talk about. Let's check it out.
• 11:19
  Here we go the Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 11:26
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 11:29
  secure? Stamp seeds Do It Yourself Kit
• 11:31
  has everything you need to hammer your seed words into
• 11:35
  commercial grade titanium plates instead of just writing them on
• 11:39
  paper. Don't store your generational
• 11:42
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 11:45
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 11:47
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 11:50
  earth. Titanium.
• 11:52
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 11:55
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 11:58
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 12:01
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 12:04
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 12:07
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 12:10
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 12:12
  All things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your
• 12:15
  Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul stamp your seed on
• 12:20
  stamp seed. All right, ladies and gentlemen,

• 12:31
  grandchildren because if you don't properly secure your
• 12:34
  generational wealth, they might be angry.
• 12:37
  Like for example, imagine this conversation 20 years from now,
• 12:40
  grandpapa, why did you lose your Bitcoin?
• 12:43
  Well, so Mr. You know what is it, grandchild?
• 12:48
  I wrote down my seed words on paper.
• 12:51
  You know, I didn't listen to simply and stamp it on titanium
• 12:53
  for some reason. I put it on paper and I'm sorry.
• 12:57
  Fuck you, Grandpa Paul. I'm never going to talk to you
• 12:59
  again, so don't put yourself in that position.
• 13:02

• 13:53
  go up. Don't put yourself in that
• 13:55
  position where you lose all your friends because you didn't go to
• 13:58
  the pleb party. All right, everybody, you know,
• 14:03
  Anthony Pompliano, you know, a lot of people in the Bitcoin
• 14:05
  community specifically find them a little bit divisive because
• 14:09
  you could say some things about his business decisions in terms
• 14:13
  of, you know, promoting certain companies over the years.
• 14:16
  But I personally, I'm a big fan of Pump Pump.
• 14:19
  I think he does a great job on, you know, on legacy media when
• 14:22
  he does these types of interviews.
• 14:24
  He has a has a big following and I get it, he's a little bit
• 14:27
  divisive, but I think he was dropping some some pretty good
• 14:29
  signal here on Squawk Box. And again, this is important in
• 14:34
  terms of moving the Overton window.
• 14:36
  I know you guys hate me when I say that, but it's incredibly
• 14:38
  important because after all, what do we want as Bitcoin as we
• 14:41
  want hyper bitcoinization? And the way that you do that is
• 14:43
  breaking out of the Bitcoin echo chamber and making people
• 14:47
  understand, you know from all walks of life that Bitcoin is a
• 14:51
  thing. Bitcoin is the solution to
• 14:53
  inflation. Bitcoin is superior to gold and
• 14:56
  fix the money, fix the world. So let's check out this latest
• 14:59
  interview from Anthony Pompliano on Squawk CNNBC.
• 15:03
  Let's check it out. I'll put out 1.25.
• 15:04
  The speed, sometimes these are a little slow.
• 15:06
  Let's check it out. Here we go.
• 15:07
  What I think is really interesting is a couple years
• 15:09
  ago was all about Bitcoin crypto.
• 15:10
  Now a lot of people talk about AI, but I think people are kind
• 15:12
  of missing that these are actually part of the same trend.
• 15:14
  We're going into this automated world where AI is going to
• 15:17
  create enormous amounts of wealth and Bitcoin is going to
• 15:20
  protect that wealth. And so when you start to see
• 15:22
  these technologies coming together, you know, an easy way
• 15:25
  to see that intersection is what money are the machines going to
• 15:28
  use. Then why is it diverging?
• 15:30
  Well, what you start to see is people are putting capital
• 15:32
  they've outlaid into Bitcoin into crypto and now they move
• 15:35
  over to AI. They'll go and they'll invest
• 15:37
  there, but it's not like Bitcoin is going and falling, you know,
• 15:39
  50%. What they're going to do is as
• 15:42
  AI continues to, you know, kind of get larger, there's more
• 15:44
  wealth generated there, people are going to look to protect
• 15:46
  that wealth and I think that they'll go back into Bitcoin.
• 15:48
  And so my guess is that AI and Bitcoin are both A10 year trend
• 15:51
  here. We've got massive tailwinds, and
• 15:53
  the good news for the United States is there's a potential
• 15:56
  that the GDP will actually increase because of the
• 15:58
  productivity from AI and then Bitcoin being able to protect a
• 16:01
  lot of this wealth. I think the people looking at
• 16:03
  this as what's going to happen day-to-day or week to week are
• 16:06
  missing this huge tailwind for the next decade.
• 16:08
  So after the halving, maybe you get profit taking two, is that
• 16:12
  part of what? Historically we've seen a run up
• 16:15
  into the halving and then we've seen, you know, sideways to
• 16:17
  slightly down this. Is the first time you have the
• 16:18
  spot ETF though correct? Are they?
• 16:22
  They need they have as much Bitcoin as they need now to
• 16:24
  satisfy clients. You know, I think that what
• 16:26
  we've seen in the ETF flows when you go and you analyze it, about
• 16:28
  80% of the flows into the ETF were actually retail, right?
• 16:31
  People thought it was going to be big institutions, but only
• 16:32
  80% was retail from some of the analysis.
• 16:35
  What takes a long time inside of these organizations is they've
• 16:37
  got to go to their investment committees, they've got to make
• 16:39
  a case, they've got to go through the approvals.
• 16:41
  You know, if you're a financial advisor, the number one job you
• 16:43
  have is don't get fired. And a great way to not get fired
• 16:46
  just to make sure you've done the work, make sure you're risk
• 16:48
  mitigating and really understand what you're about to buy.
• 16:50
  And the last thing I'll say is, you know, the thing about
• 16:52
  Bitcoin that always cracks me up is when the price goes down,
• 16:54
  people get upset. But I always tell them you maybe
• 16:56
  should go check what you own, because if you have true
• 16:58
  conviction, when the price goes down, you should be excited to
• 17:00
  go buy more of it, right? And so we, I was literally
• 17:03
  saying this morning that I'm going to go to the office, I'm
• 17:04
  going to go buy some more, right?
• 17:06
  And the reason why that's so important is as the price goes
• 17:08
  down, if you have a 10 year time frame, you're just getting it at
• 17:11
  a cheaper price, your dollar cost averaging down.
• 17:13
  And so I do think that Bitcoiners more so than almost
• 17:16
  any other asset class historically, they've bought,
• 17:18
  they've held for a long time, they continue to dollar cost
• 17:20
  average and they're using these timeless investing principles to
• 17:22
  create real wealth for. Themselves, I don't know if you
• 17:24
  bought a date, it's tough. Buy 60.
• 17:27
  Well, if you bought at 8000 and you still have cash, right,
• 17:30
  where else are you going to put it?
• 17:31
  I think that's the big question is if you want to protect your
• 17:33
  wealth and you're getting paid a salary every single year, that
• 17:36
  net new capital, where do you put it?
• 17:38
  You put in stock market, you can put in Bitcoin.
• 17:40
  But again, if you go and you look over a long period of time,
• 17:42
  what is beating inflation? You know, gold is a great
• 17:44
  example. Over the last five years, if
• 17:46
  you've held gold, you've actually lost purchasing power
• 17:48
  in real terms. And so naturally, Bitcoin ends
• 17:51
  up being one of the only solutions that people are
• 17:52
  picking. All right, Anthony, thanks of.
• 17:54
  Course, thanks for having me. You're.
• 17:56
  Welcome, man. I think he absolutely slayed
• 17:57
  that interview, but part that I was paying attention to in the
• 18:00
  beginning when he was talking about AI and Bitcoin, I think I
• 18:04
  actually saw Fred Krueger talk about this.
• 18:06
  And I think over the next 10 years, if you're a young person,
• 18:12
  it just I think the two enabling like the two emerging industries
• 18:18
  are AI and Bitcoin, of course, but you can't buy a part of
• 18:23
  ChatGPT. You can't buy that, right?
• 18:27
  But you can definitely buy a piece of Bitcoin.
• 18:29
  And I think it's just, you know, I think we're going to see a
• 18:32
  crazy, you know, next 10 years. And another thing also that Pom
• 18:36
  said, which you know, I found kind of troubling, but also a
• 18:38
  little bit funny was where he said, like, you know, Bitcoin is
• 18:41
  going to be the money of the machines.
• 18:43
  And I was just thinking in my head, like Arnold
• 18:45
  Schwarzenegger, like his voice, like you need to buy Bitcoin
• 18:49
  because this is what the Terminators will use.
• 18:53
  You know? Like, I was thinking that.
• 18:54
  I was thinking that in my mind, like, what does he mean by that?
• 18:56
  Like, are we going to have fucking robots going around?
• 18:58
  Like, you know, with their fucking lasers coming out
• 19:01
  saying, are you on the big point standard?
• 19:03
  No, your fiat's terminated now What?
• 19:06
  No, no, that's not what they're doing.
• 19:08
  Dude, so Opti Nico Nico does a good Terminator.
• 19:13
  I'm impressed. Oh, man.
• 19:19
  Anyways, Opti, what's what's your opinion on this, bro?
• 19:21
  I mean, Pomp kills it, bro. Yeah, he's great.
• 19:23
  I know, I know, I know he's controversial.
• 19:25
  I know he's controversial, but he killed it in that I.
• 19:27
  Mean look, if you've been around Bitcoin for a long time and
• 19:31
  you're, you know, part of our coal on Twitter, then you're
• 19:34
  probably not the biggest fan of pomp.
• 19:36
  But to his credit, he's absolutely great at how he goes
• 19:39
  on the mainstream or rather legacy corporate media.
• 19:42
  He does a great job. First point that I want to make
• 19:45
  though, is on the AI. I'm kind of on like the the
• 19:49
  opposite side. I'm, I'm not that convinced that
• 19:53
  AI is going to be like the biggest trend.
• 19:55
  Like I know there's a lot of hype around AI right now.
• 19:57
  I know NVIDIA stocks going absolutely nuclear, but I from
• 20:01
  what I've seen and what I understand, like I, I, I'm, I'm
• 20:04
  kind of feeling like the, the shit coin vibe around the, the
• 20:07
  AI space right now. So I'm not that sold that AI is
• 20:11
  going to be, you know, like the the same.
• 20:14
  Impact that Bitcoin has but with that being said one of the
• 20:17
  biggest things that I did take away from the mining disrupt
• 20:20
  conference yesterday and the day before while we were streaming
• 20:23
  it is just how many Bitcoin miners are starting to use their
• 20:28
  what do they call them the data What what's the word that they
• 20:31
  use for the the the they don't call it mining they call it yeah
• 20:35
  they're data centers. One of the things that they are
• 20:37
  starting to look at and there was a huge amount of
• 20:39
  conversations around AI over the last couple of days and one of
• 20:43
  the biggest takeaways that I took from it was that Bitcoin
• 20:46
  mining is is like way more computationally powerful than
• 20:51
  the AI data centers like a six do an incredible amount of
• 20:55
  computation and all the AI innovations quote UN quote in
• 20:59
  regards to how their computers are being used is downstream
• 21:03
  from Bitcoin mining and there's a lot of input and a lot of
• 21:07
  focus from the Bitcoin miners about potentially using their
• 21:11
  infrastructure to basically give some of their power to the AI
• 21:15
  space. So I I found that very
• 21:17
  interesting when I was sitting there doing the live stream and
• 21:20
  I was like wow a lot of the Bitcoin miners and they're not
• 21:23
  necessarily talking about like NVIDIA stock and just like you
• 21:26
  know yellowing in and getting money they're like we are
• 21:28
  actually improving the AI space and I was like that's incredible
• 21:32
  not only is Bitcoin as a money as a monetary network as a
• 21:36
  protocol changing the world but Bitcoin miners themselves.
• 21:40
  Are literally changing and innovating on how computers are
• 21:44
  being run. There's a lot of talk about
• 21:45
  immersion and how AI data centers don't know what they're
• 21:48
  doing in that regard. And the Bitcoin miners
• 21:50
  themselves are innovating and improving their specs.
• 21:53
  So maybe in the future, maybe Pomp is right on that front that
• 21:56
  AI will be, you know, a a decade boom essentially.
• 22:00
  But the one thing that I really liked it, it's actually two
• 22:03
  things. One, what's his name?
• 22:05
  Joe Kern. He's like, what do you say is
• 22:07
  like AI is probably going to be down 50%.
• 22:10
  It's like Bitcoin won't. And I'm like, yes, Joe gets it.
• 22:13
  He's absolute savage Bitcoin. But the thing that pomp said
• 22:16
  that I think all of us bitcoiners get once you get
• 22:19
  after a certain point, once, once you really understand what
• 22:22
  you and you've gotten so far down the rabbit hole, like the
• 22:25
  price dips are a blessing as long as you still have Fiat
• 22:28
  money. And he's like, they asked him
• 22:29
  point blank, yeah, it's at 60 K, but it's dipping.
• 22:33
  Are you still buying? He's like, yes, of course I'm
• 22:35
  still buying. Anyone that understands Bitcoin
• 22:37
  like all of us here in the chat and what we tried to explain to
• 22:40
  people is like this is Bitcoin on sale.
• 22:42
  If you like Bitcoin AT70K, then you're going to love.
• 22:44
  It at 6050. Whatever price is under all time
• 22:47
  high because it's literally just cheaper Bitcoin.
• 22:49
  Nothing's changed except for the price, and nothing's changed
• 22:51
  except for for the sentiment of traders.
• 22:54
  And right now is when you should be stacking.
• 22:56
  We heard a couple conversations over the last couple of days
• 22:59
  that we're all kind of, I'm not saying we're Ogs, but people
• 23:03
  have been in the space for a while, been around a couple
• 23:05
  cycles. We're all kind of convinced that
• 23:07
  maybe this summer might not be as frothy as we like it to be,
• 23:10
  but now is the time to stack. Make sure you're working.
• 23:14
  Don't tune out completely. Don't stop buying Bitcoin
• 23:17
  because now is the prime opportunity to be buying
• 23:20
  Bitcoin. And then probably, you know, the
• 23:22
  end of the year, quarter 3:00-ish, you know, September,
• 23:25
  October is when the price is really going to run.
• 23:27
  So you don't want to tune out now.
• 23:29
  Don't stop stacking. This is the time to be stacking.
• 23:31
  When there's what's an old meme, when there's blood on the
• 23:33
  streets, this is when you buy. I don't think it's blood.
• 23:37
  I mean there isn't blood on the streets, but board is.
• 23:39
  I agree, but the price isn't. Popping, that's an opportunity.
• 23:42
  You want to be first. I mean, actually you don't want
• 23:44
  to be first to the party. Well, the pleb party, you
• 23:46
  definitely want to be first the party, but regular parties, you
• 23:49
  want to show up kind of fashionably late a little bit.
• 23:52
  That's not the case with Bitcoin.
• 23:53
  That's not the case with Bitcoin.
• 23:55
  You want to be first to the party.
• 23:56
  In fact, you want to be at the door before they open the doors,
• 24:00
  right? So right now the party isn't
• 24:02
  popping right? Everyone left, right.
• 24:04
  So what you got to do, right? You got to pull.
• 24:06
  You know, it's like if you've been to 11 Miami, you understand
• 24:08
  this, right? You want to show up at 11:00 AM
• 24:12
  so that you can stay till 2:00 AM, right?
• 24:15
  That sounds like horrible idea, but if you know, you know
• 24:17
  Anyways, Anders, it seems like you've been to a party recently.
• 24:21
  How you doing bro? What are your thoughts on Pomp?
• 24:24
  Well, so I think he's touching, actually.
• 24:26
  I think it's interesting. He's talking about, you know, AI
• 24:28
  is going to generate wealth and then Bitcoin is going to protect
• 24:31
  it. I think that's an interesting
• 24:33
  angle that we haven't really heard anyone thank you talk
• 24:37
  about. Like to see you guys when I'm
• 24:39
  talking. Thank you.
• 24:40
  Thank you, Artie. Nico.
• 24:41
  No, OK. But it's just like James Jeff
• 24:45
  Booth has been talking about for a long time.
• 24:53
  There is going to be generated a lot of wealth and the price of
• 24:58
  everything is going towards 0. AI is going to help with that.
• 25:02
  So that's that's an important catalyst.
• 25:04
  Not having fake money is going to help with that.
• 25:09
  So when you have AI and all these other things, productivity
• 25:13
  and wealth in society is going to growth and Bitcoin is going
• 25:16
  to help you protect it. So not only is Bitcoin headed
• 25:19
  towards like 1000 trillion dollar market cap, it's going to
• 25:22
  be even more and it's going to protect it.
• 25:26
  So you know, .1 Bitcoin really is generational wealth.
• 25:29
  If you can give it maybe 20-30 years, who knows, right?
• 25:32
  So I think it's a great point he's talking about like the
• 25:35
  massive productivity growth and and wealth generation coming
• 25:39
  with AI and then the protection through Bitcoin you don't have
• 25:42
  anywhere else to protect your wealth.
• 25:43
  Amen, Amen. Go.
• 25:44
  Ahead Nico, can I pop in here 'cause you did do the the
• 25:47
  Arnold? What's the second best?
• 25:50
  There is no second best. You did do the Arnold voice.
• 25:53
  But I, I remember and we were literally talking about this, I
• 25:57
  think it was yesterday about how we pretty much grew up on Andres
• 26:00
  Antonopoulos videos and Niko's like I watched him like 50
• 26:03
  times. I think I've watched every
• 26:04
  single Andres Antonopoulos video.
• 26:06
  But I vaguely remember that there's a couple of talks where
• 26:10
  Andres was talking about the same thing.
• 26:12
  You know, I, I know when I got into Bitcoin in 2017, there was
• 26:15
  a lot of talk of like machine to machine payment and how
• 26:19
  Lightning's going to be that money.
• 26:20
  So I don't think it's far fetched to say that eventually
• 26:23
  there will be machine to machine payments with Bitcoin.
• 26:26
  And you know, maybe if we get far enough down the line, we'll
• 26:29
  see AI hacks and, you know, sentient technology, sentient
• 26:34
  consciousness on the computer wanting your Bitcoin.
• 26:37
  So hey, we are treading towards the sci-fi future we always
• 26:41
  dreamed of. Give me those 24 words.
• 26:44
  No. Alright everybody, before we get
• 26:47
  on to the news, I do want to give a shout out to one of our
• 26:50

• 30:24
  Speaking of idiotic moves of the government, they sold their
• 30:27
  Bitcoin again, if the US government just kept their
• 30:31
  Bitcoin, like think about like it's it's an example.
• 30:34
  I always say this all the time. Bitcoin exposes incentives.
• 30:38
  And if you want to talk about the inefficiencies of government
• 30:42
  and like how insane it is, this is a great example of that.
• 30:46
  It's like a perfect representation.
• 30:48
  Why they can print money out of fucking thin air, right?
• 30:52
  Like they can excuse my language, but it's true.
• 30:55
  And what they've done over the last couple of years, like
• 30:58
  horrible trades, like I think they sold like hundreds of
• 31:00
  thousands of Bitcoin to Tim Draper and it was like under 10.
• 31:03
  It was like, like so many horrible trades.
• 31:05
  Like that is another example of another horrible trade, mind
• 31:08
  you, at the same time, another example of the inefficiencies of
• 31:11
  government. They sent the US government send
• 31:14
  their Bitcoin to Coinbase to sell it.
• 31:16
  At the same time they're suing fucking coin base, right?
• 31:20
  Like it's so absurd. Like it's just, they're
• 31:22
  completely bonkers. And of course, why would why
• 31:26
  wouldn't they be? It's like giving a younger kid,
• 31:30
  like an 18 year old kid, an American Express with absolutely
• 31:34
  no limit. That's going to be a fucking
• 31:36
  disaster. And that's exactly what the
• 31:38
  government is with an unlimited money printer.
• 31:41
  I think the only way you solve the endless wars, the
• 31:44
  inefficiencies of government, the endless spending, the
• 31:47
  debasing of currency, the stealing of time, because that's
• 31:50
  essentially what it is, is separating money from state.
• 31:54
  We as as, as a civilization have gone through this type of, you
• 31:58
  know, extremely pivotal moment in history before, and that was
• 32:03
  the separation of church and state during the Napoleonic era,
• 32:07
  like, you know, Napoleonic era, the age of the Enlightenment.
• 32:11
  That's the point, right? We've gone through these moments
• 32:13
  in history before. I think this will be a lot less
• 32:15
  bloody. But we need to separate.
• 32:18
  We need to separate money and state.
• 32:20
  I think it's, you know, it's so many consequences.
• 32:24
  And I think that's just, you know, protecting the elites,
• 32:27
  protecting the bureaucracy, the bloating of bureaucracy.
• 32:31
  And that's why we end up in positions where Ross Ulbricht
• 32:34
  get locked up, they throw a key, throw away the key or journalist
• 32:38
  because that's what he is, ladies and gentlemen like Julian
• 32:41
  Assange, you know, basically threatened by, you know, and the
• 32:46
  things that he went through the last decade, right?
• 32:50
  Because he was doing what journalists are supposed to do,
• 32:53
  right? It's so funny because The
• 32:55
  Washington Post, one of their slogans is called Democracy Dies
• 32:58
  in Darkness. And and what so because
• 33:01
  WikiLeaks isn't an official media source, like, you know,
• 33:05
  like they can't report the news like it's just so absurd.
• 33:09
  Anyways, so this latest news U.S. government sends 3940
• 33:15
  Bitcoin worth $241 million to Coinbase, right.
• 33:19
  Also, this isn't just an American thing.
• 33:22
  This is happening in Germany as well.
• 33:24
  German government officials offloads 900 Bitcoin, 400
• 33:28
  bitcoins sent to Coinbase and Kraken.
• 33:30
  I love how like these are all like the exchanges that they're
• 33:33
  fucking suing and they're like, these exchanges are bad and
• 33:37
  they're like, oh, but we actually need to sell our
• 33:39
  Bitcoin now. Like it's just so absurd.
• 33:42
  Bitcoin exposes incentives like this.
• 33:44
  I think this will be recorded as one of the dumbest trades, you
• 33:47
  know, that has ever happened. But at the same time, it does
• 33:50
  not surprise me because, you know, governments are known for,
• 33:55
  governments are known for doing stupid shit, Governments are
• 33:58
  known for inefficiencies. And I think government, I mean,
• 34:02
  I think Bitcoin and the Internet both.
• 34:04
  And we're going to talk about the importance of the Internet
• 34:06
  and the Internet and free speech and mass scale peer-to-peer
• 34:09
  communications, I think are exposing the inefficiencies of
• 34:13
  government. I think it's exposing the fact
• 34:15
  that a bureaucratic elite don't know what's best for the rest of
• 34:19
  what everybody else. You know, when you're so-called
• 34:21
  health ministers, you know, or, or let's just say, let's put it
• 34:25
  nicely, or above the acceptable healthy BMI and they're telling
• 34:30
  everyone what they can and what they can't do with their bodies.
• 34:34
  You know, it's forgive me if I don't believe you and say fuck
• 34:37
  you because, you know, that's where I'm at right now.
• 34:39
  And I think a lot of people have seen that over the last five
• 34:42
  years. I think it's been a a pivotal
• 34:44
  moment in human history. Some people are calling calling
• 34:46
  it the 4th turning. You know, I say this is the
• 34:48
  great awakening. This is the great awakening
• 34:51
  fueled started the flame of freedom was started by the
• 34:54
  Internet and Bitcoin came along and poured a fucking gallon of
• 34:58
  dread huge oil drum of gasoline on it.
• 35:01
  And now it's turned into a huge bonfire of a bunch of savage
• 35:04
  individuals saying you know what, I'm going to keep my
• 35:07
  wealth and self custody. You can't take it away from me
• 35:09
  because you debase it and you didn't lock any bankers in jail
• 35:12
  2008 and you bailed them all the fuck out.
• 35:14
  I'm tired of it, Opti. Wow Nico Jones showing up.
• 35:18
  This is what happens bro I. Don't.
• 35:19
  I don't do a show for two days, man.
• 35:21
  I'm like, I got to get back in the saddle and hit it hard.
• 35:23
  Love it, love it, love it. OK, well First off I think we
• 35:28
  would be remiss to remind everyone out there that these
• 35:32
  were most likely. I'm not fully aware of how
• 35:35
  Germany got their Bitcoin, but we can definitely say for the US
• 35:39
  that this was all stolen Bitcoin and now they are selling it and
• 35:43
  getting profits. Actually, when the government
• 35:46
  steals things, it's called exactly exactly.
• 35:49
  And and that's kind of where I was going because look, guys,
• 35:52
  when I heard the story, I think it came out yesterday, when I
• 35:56
  heard this story, my first thought was rules for the but
• 35:59
  not for or what's it rules for the but not for me.
• 36:02
  And because look, guys, let's like, let's look at the elephant
• 36:06
  in the room here. Everyone of us has to deal with
• 36:09
  the tax implications of selling our Bitcoin.
• 36:11
  They get to sell their Bitcoin without any concerns.
• 36:14
  They're like, yeah, we get the profit off this, Like, shut up,
• 36:16
  peasant. Doesn't matter what we do, You
• 36:18
  guys got to follow the rules. And they're like literally
• 36:20
  stealing Bitcoin, selling it to make profits.
• 36:22
  And someone in the chat did the best comment is like, this is
• 36:25
  literally the separation of money in state because they no
• 36:27
  longer hold their Bitcoin. They're selling it for Fiat,
• 36:31
  which is obviously like the the best part about this whole
• 36:34
  thing. And then of course, I think we
• 36:35
  all as Bitcoiners agree that a certain point, whether it's this
• 36:39
  cycle, whether it's the next cycle, but at some point this
• 36:42
  decade, we are going to see nation states literally printing
• 36:46
  money directly to stack Bitcoin. So they literally have the
• 36:50
  infinite money glitch that Sailor has, but like the literal
• 36:53
  infinite money glitch. And I think we're going to see
• 36:55
  at a certain point in this decade that they're going to
• 36:57
  just directly print money, stack Bitcoin.
• 37:00
  They're going to realize that they've shot themselves in the
• 37:02
  foot by not huddling those Bitcoin that they in the first
• 37:05
  place. And then they selling it now and
• 37:07
  literally it's a dip right now. Like what kind of idiot sells
• 37:10
  their Bitcoin right now? The federal government because
• 37:13
  they don't understand how money works.
• 37:15
  It's it's beautiful. They don't need to, they don't
• 37:18
  need to like if you had a money printer, right?
• 37:20
  Like think about like, dude, they don't, they don't need to
• 37:22
  understand. They don't have a necessity to
• 37:24
  understand. Like, you know, what's crazy is
• 37:25
  like when they left like the billions of dollars in, in
• 37:28
  Afghanistan and then like within three months, they're like, you
• 37:32
  know what? It's probably a good idea to
• 37:34
  send 100 billion to Ukraine. Like it's so crazy.
• 37:37
  It's so crazy. It's a broken system.
• 37:39
  Anyways, Anders, what's up, dude?
• 37:41
  I mean, how do you feel about all this, bro?
• 37:44
  It's it's pretty absurd. Yeah, I was I was going to take
• 37:47
  out that comment as well that Opti notice you, you the the
• 37:49
  chat is lit and it was BTC believer shout out to him for
• 37:53
  that. The US government selling the
• 37:55
  Bitcoin literally is separating money and state and that's it's
• 38:01
  weird they're doing this like US, Germany I think.
• 38:04
  Don't Bulgaria have like 2% of of all Bitcoin or something?
• 38:11
  What's happening? No.
• 38:12
  To the to the fucking chat, the BTC believer.
• 38:16
  That's such an epic comment. U.S. government is literally
• 38:19
  sell is selling. BTC is literally separating
• 38:21
  money. Yes, I'm going to.
• 38:24
  Steal that tweet. Thank you very much.
• 38:28
  Niko said it. No.
• 38:31
  Shout out, BBC believer. That's beautiful.
• 38:34
  Yeah. And it's just gonna continue.
• 38:39
  They obviously don't get it right when they keep selling
• 38:42
  Bitcoin. And, and I agree with OBT, it's
• 38:44
  a matter of time before they realize, well, we can just print
• 38:48
  money like Fiat for free and buy more Bitcoin.
• 38:52
  And that's when we get the hockey steak moment.
• 38:56
  That's where we go OP OP OP solid green candle.
• 39:01
  Dude, God candle, God candle, Omega candle, could you?
• 39:06
  What's the 2nd? Opti's soundboard is dangerous
• 39:13
  'cause every button you press, you press is dope.
• 39:15
  Versus my soundboard. I think there's like one dope
• 39:18
  button and then the rest of the buttons are like the stock,
• 39:21
  which are kind of lame, you know?
• 39:23
  But Opti's taking the time. What's the Opti puts in a lot of
• 39:27
  effort here. He's a hard worker and I've seen
• 39:30
  him, so I've met you guys at conferences.
• 39:33
  Opti arrives in a Dolce Gabbana suit with a tie and then but to
• 39:38
  be a plan suit. But yes.
• 39:41
  He takes it off, he puts on a T-shirt.
• 39:43
  He's a pleb when he goes on the show and then when he goes out
• 39:45
  at night. Sold dusty Gabbana.
• 39:47
  Yeah, of course. And gold chains underneath, bro,
• 39:49
  you know, it's it's it's Opti. Opti's Papi Chudo.
• 39:52
  He knows how to do it and he's a worker.
• 39:54
  Before we move on to the next section, I do want to give a
• 39:57
  very special shout out to ours. Of course, I'm talking about the
• 39:59
  orange pillow stack friends who stack sats.
• 40:01
  Anders is on the orange pillop. I'm on the orange pillop.
• 40:04
  Opti's on the orange pillop. Stack friends who stack sats.
• 40:06
  The orange pillop is the Bitcoin social layer.
• 40:09
  Join the 11,081 bitcoins. Owners that are currently on the
• 40:13
  app, it's a great way, it's a great way to connect with
• 40:16
  Bitcoiners when you're on the move.
• 40:17
  If you move to a new city or you lived in your city and you don't
• 40:20
  know any bit corners near you has a really clever geographical
• 40:23
  feature that it will literally show the bitcoiners that are in
• 40:26
  your area, right and allows you to DDM them correctly.
• 40:30
  I mean directly. And it also has a clever
• 40:33
  filtration system so you only find bit corners on the app.
• 40:36
  If you want to reach me directly, I don't really answer
• 40:38
  Twitter DMS anymore. Send me a message on the Orange
• 40:42
  Pelop and I will get back to you.
• 40:43
  So download the Orange Pelop today, scan the QR code, or
• 40:46
  check the link in the video description.
• 40:48
  Let's hit the cultures and talk about the pleb party.
• 40:51
  Wait, no, no, no, I'm backing up.
• 40:54
  That was a small commercial break, dude.
• 40:55
  I totally missed the Julian Assange story, which we can't
• 40:59
  skip. All right, so let's talk about
• 41:02
  that. All right, here we go.
• 41:04
  The fight for freedom of speech is the fight for Bitcoin.
• 41:07
  Uncensorable money goes hand in hand with the freedom movement.
• 41:11
  So who is Julian Assange? For anyone who doesn't know,
• 41:14
  Julian Assange is the founder of WikiLeaks and the reason that he
• 41:17
  got in trouble is he leaked this week.
• 41:20
  I would I would play it for you, but this is not YouTube friendly
• 41:24
  footage of basically, you know, and you're so funny.
• 41:27
  This is crazy here. It's just a a footage of AUS
• 41:30
  airstrike. OK, fine, but let's get into the
• 41:32
  details of that. Literally an Apache gunship,
• 41:35
  which is a helicopter with these big ass guns, mowed down a bunch
• 41:40
  of journalists, you know, and it was a tragedy overall because of
• 41:43
  course, at that time, you know, after the terrorist attacks,
• 41:47
  right, a lot of people felt, you know, a little bit jaded,
• 41:49
  rightly so. And of course, it's not like,
• 41:52
  you know, the pilots of that Apache gunship were.
• 41:56
  They knew that those people were journalists.
• 41:58
  They didn't do that on purpose. There was a tragedy altogether.
• 42:01
  But that's not the point. The point is that he leaked that
• 42:05
  footage through WikiLeaks and of course it went absolutely viral
• 42:09
  and he was persecuted for it. Now, here's the thing.
• 42:13
  That's journalism, that that's what journalists are supposed to
• 42:16
  do in a quote UN quote democratic society, in a freedom
• 42:19
  society, free society, you're supposed to have that.
• 42:23
  It's called the 1st Amendment right.
• 42:25
  You're supposed to do that. That's the whole point.
• 42:28
  And the difference is that if it's a a regular publication,
• 42:32
  they don't get in trouble. The problem here is that
• 42:35
  WikiLeaks at the time, it was like one of the first truly kind
• 42:39
  of independent media sources that picked up a lot of steam.
• 42:42
  Now we're in the age of independent media.
• 42:44
  In 10 years, legacy media is going to be completely dead, in
• 42:47
  my opinion, and 15 years gone dinosaur, right?
• 42:50
  And we're going to look back and be like, holy shit, that was
• 42:52
  propaganda. That was a media.
• 42:54
  But the point is, is that you know this guy, he played a huge
• 42:58
  role in the Bitcoin movement, to the point that the last thing
• 43:02
  that Satoshi said before he disappeared was it would have
• 43:06
  been nice to get this attention. In another context, WikiLeaks
• 43:10
  has kicked the hornet's nest. The swarm is headed towards us.
• 43:14
  Now. Why did that happen?
• 43:16
  Well, it's because WikiLeaks got cut off from traditional
• 43:20
  financials. What does that remind you of,
• 43:21
  bro? OK, we've heard this 1000 times,
• 43:24
  but this was back in 2010. And by the way, WikiLeaks got
• 43:27
  rich as fuck because they they literally stacked Bitcoin in
• 43:31
  2010. Could you imagine those small
• 43:33
  donations like 100 dollars, $100 worth of Bitcoin in 2010 bro?
• 43:37
  Holy shit. Right?
• 43:39
  So anyways, Bitcoin and WikiLeaks helped keep each other
• 43:44
  alive. So in terms of figureheads for
• 43:47
  the Bitcoin movement, martyrs and the separation of money in
• 43:50
  state, Julian Assange, Ross Albrecht, and Edward Snowden, we
• 43:56
  got one out of three. And it looks like if Trump wins,
• 43:59
  we're going to get two out of three.
• 44:00
  And mind you, within a decade we're going to get fucking
• 44:03
  Edward Snowden back. We're fucking winning.
• 44:05
  Our cause is fucking winning. Freedom is effing winning, but
• 44:10
  there was martyrs in the process.
• 44:11
  Of course the system was going to fight back, right?
• 44:14
  So anyways, this was a little bit of a struggle session the
• 44:16
  way that he was freed because apparently he had to admit
• 44:20
  wrongdoing, which again, is is kind of dangerous for quote, UN
• 44:24
  quote, journalism and reporting in the US.
• 44:27
  Because now, you know, it doesn't matter that you
• 44:30
  so-called have First Amendment protections.
• 44:32
  If you leak certain things that the US government doesn't like,
• 44:36
  they can lock you in a box, which is so anti American it's
• 44:40
  insane, right? And again, I don't think this is
• 44:43
  a coincidence that this happened after Donald Trump said he would
• 44:46
  free Ross Ulbricht. I think this was a reaction by
• 44:49
  the binding industries and saying, oh, you know what, we
• 44:51
  can be nice too, right? Anyways, WikiLeaks founder
• 44:54
  Julian Assange pleaded guilty to obtaining and publishing U.S.
• 44:57
  military secrets Wednesday in a deal with Justice Department
• 45:00
  prosecutors. Now they left out the concept a
• 45:03
  contest, right context because The Associated Press should
• 45:08
  really be called the associated propaganda.
• 45:10
  Like they have the initials, right?
• 45:12
  They don't have to change them. But let's be clear here.
• 45:14
  Anyways, it goes on to say in a deal with Justice Department
• 45:18
  prosecutors that secures his liberty and concludes a drawn
• 45:21
  out legal saga that raised the divisive questions about press
• 45:25
  freedom and national security. The criminal and a little bit of
• 45:28
  context here, Julian Assange released leaks.
• 45:33
  So like he didn't go and spy on, you know, the national security
• 45:39
  state or the US government and obtain those secrets.
• 45:42
  They were given to him by a leaker, right?
• 45:45
  And she served jail time as well.
• 45:46
  I think her name was Chelsea Manning, right?
• 45:50
  So it wasn't that he did that. It was given to him.
• 45:53
  And of course, WikiLeaks as a journalist, as a, you know, a
• 45:57
  journalistic institution, what do they do?
• 46:00
  It's in the fucking name, bro. Wiki leaks, right?
• 46:03
  They leak the information, which again, you know, it, it goes to
• 46:07
  you, you, you start to ask questions like, what else is the
• 46:10
  government hiding from us? And what gives them the right to
• 46:13
  hide that information from us? Why haven't all the JFK files
• 46:17
  been released yet? That's another thing that was
• 46:20
  talked about on the Logan Paul podcast when he had Donald Trump
• 46:23
  on and Logan Paul asked him, are you going to release the JFK?
• 46:25
  Like, why are they still keeping that shit under wraps?
• 46:28
  What do they have to hide? Like, it's a lot of questions
• 46:31
  here, right? And again, why do we live in a
• 46:34
  society where there's a bureaucrat, there's a
• 46:36
  bureaucracy that holds no accountability?
• 46:39
  Because the reason they don't want certain things leaked is
• 46:41
  because they don't want to be held accountable to that is
• 46:44
  because they don't want those things to, you know, see the
• 46:47
  light of day. And that's a problem.
• 46:49
  Like you only need secrets to, you know, keep things under
• 46:54
  wraps that you don't think the majority of people would like.
• 46:57
  And then these are the same people that are advocating for
• 46:59
  democracy, right? I'm a big believer in
• 47:02
  transparency, right? If, if you operate on a
• 47:06
  transparent and, you know, standard and of course, you
• 47:09
  know, there's certain things, I guess you could say you can't be
• 47:10
  transparent with, but most of these things you should be able
• 47:13
  to be transparent with, right? Anyways, so I'm glad he's freed.
• 47:18
  You know, he did have to admit that he was in the wrong.
• 47:21
  He did have to plead guilty. And of course, Bitcoiners kind
• 47:24
  of stepped in and they played. They paid for his, his, his, his
• 47:28
  flight home. Now we know this was paid in
• 47:30
  Bitcoin, but we don't know who it is.
• 47:32
  We have a hint of who it is. And this is, of course, him
• 47:35
  getting into the private plane and being flown away.
• 47:38
  Absolutely historic moment. And I'm so glad for Julian
• 47:41
  Assange and his wife, who has done an incredible job being by
• 47:44
  his side and really doing, you know, the rounds in the press
• 47:48
  raising awareness about this injustice.
• 47:50
  And of course, people are thinking and again, you know,
• 47:54
  there are no current, there are no conspiracies, but there are
• 47:56
  also no coincidences. Here's Jack Dorsey, who's been a
• 47:59
  huge proponent of the freedom movement after his experience
• 48:02
  with Twitter. And of course, he's been
• 48:04
  supporting, supporting various Bitcoin projects, of course,
• 48:07
  like the ocean, decentralized mining pool.
• 48:09
  And, you know, he believes in the importance of free speech.
• 48:13
  And a lot of people are, you know, speculating.
• 48:15
  And again, you know, very big coincidence.
• 48:18
  This tweet in this transaction, this is the apparent transaction
• 48:21
  that was sent to pay for Julian Assange's private plane flight
• 48:25
  to safety. And here's a $500,000 Bitcoin
• 48:30
  donation. And it was tweeted at four O
• 48:32
  3:00 PM. Here is Jack Dorsey tweeting at
• 48:37
  four O 3:00 PM. Safe passage through.
• 48:40
  I mean, you could put two and two together, but that's a big
• 48:42
  coincidence, bro. And also another thing about
• 48:45
  Jack Dorsey, he doesn't really tweet that often anymore.
• 48:47
  He's more a noster these days. So I mean, you know, it's it's
• 48:51
  you guys have to understand all of this is interconnected,
• 48:54
  right? All of this is interconnected.
• 48:55
  I always say it's the party of green versus the party of
• 48:58
  orange, party of Bitcoin freedom, you know, no
• 49:03
  censorship, opportunity, prosperity, peace versus the
• 49:06
  party of Fiat, the administrative state, the
• 49:09
  unelected bureaucracy represents the party of green.
• 49:12
  In fact, they're fueled by green.
• 49:13
  They're fueled by the Fiat money printer.
• 49:16
  They need coercion. They need censorship in order to
• 49:19
  survive. Why?
• 49:21
  Because it's fundamentally a system based on theft, because
• 49:24
  Fiat is based on theft. It's based on the idea that
• 49:27
  money has to use purchasing power in order to exist.
• 49:31
  And a system based on theft needs lies, manipulation,
• 49:34
  misrepresentations, coercion in order to function, right.
• 49:38
  So Julian Assange is interconnected with the Bitcoin
• 49:41
  movement. You saw it is Sochi.
• 49:43
  Sochi's Last Post was literally referencing WikiLeaks.
• 49:48
  Jack, you know, Bitcoiners paid for his flight out of freedom.
• 49:52
  And of course, Julian Assange has been a major proponent of
• 49:55
  Bitcoin throughout the throughout the many years.
• 49:58
  And of course, you know, shout out to WikiLeaks for being an
• 50:01
  OG, even though even though, even though I don't think they
• 50:03
  knew that they were O GS at the time.
• 50:05
  Now, here's the last thing I'm going to end it with because I
• 50:07
  know this has been a quite a little bit of a Randall ramble,
• 50:09
  but it's been incredibly important to cover this topic.
• 50:12
  Here's Elon Musk. And again, Elon Musk has played
• 50:15
  a huge role by freeing the bird. And of course, I'm talking about
• 50:19
  Twitter. And here he is talking about how
• 50:23
  the media used to work and how it should work today in the era
• 50:27
  of social media, independent journalism and mass scale
• 50:30
  peer-to-peer communication. Now, the thing that that a lot
• 50:32
  of traditional journalists don't like is they don't like being
• 50:36
  put on the same platform as the average citizen.
• 50:39
  They don't like their voice being, it's the same.
• 50:41
  They're pretty mad about that. I, I think it's very important
• 50:44
  to, to elevate citizen journalism.
• 50:46
  I think it's very important to hear the voice of the people,
• 50:48
  the actual voice of the people, not the filter voice of the
• 50:51
  people, and let the people choose the narrative and let the
• 50:54
  people determine the truth and not 5 editors in chiefs of major
• 51:00
  publications. Do you want to know what's
• 51:01
  really going on, or do you want their?
• 51:03
  And and that's it. Like, like exactly, do you
• 51:05
  really want to know what's going on?
• 51:06
  Do you want your opinion? Right.
• 51:07
  And that's the beauty of social media is that it's a free market
• 51:12
  of ideas. And let the free, let the free
• 51:14
  market determine what the narrative is, what the truth is.
• 51:18
  And I think it will do a much better job than a handful of
• 51:22
  obviously politically biased journalists.
• 51:25
  And you want to know how scared they are of this stuff, Check
• 51:28
  this out. And I think this is absolutely.
• 51:31
  Tonight we have a historic debate between, you know, the
• 51:34
  president, the potential future presidents of the United States,
• 51:38
  and check this out. This is insane.
• 51:40
  CNN has implemented insanely strict measures for the 1st 2024
• 51:45
  presidential debate, effectively banning citizen journalists and
• 51:49
  independent coverage. No one can use any video or
• 51:52
  audio from the debate without explicit permission.
• 51:54
  What are they thinking? This isn't a blockbuster movie.
• 51:57
  This is 2 politicians running to lead the free world.
• 52:00
  Mainstream media is monopolizing the debate coverage.
• 52:03
  Elon Musk has stated he won't pull down extremes of the
• 52:07
  debate, right? That's insane that's insane.
• 52:09
  Of course they don't want to do that.
• 52:11
  You want to know why they want to they they don't want to do
• 52:13
  that because they don't want people reacting to what's being
• 52:16
  said. That's the problem.
• 52:18
  They want to control this narrative as much as humanly
• 52:20
  possible. If you don't believe me, check a
• 52:23
  take a look at how it's going to be formatted, which is
• 52:26
  absolutely insane by the way, this is a meme version.
• 52:30
  But what he's actually saying like the the guy saying before
• 52:34
  they like muted him is true. Like this is like Pravda Soviet
• 52:39
  level propaganda. This is like another level.
• 52:42
  This is insane. Check this out.
• 52:45
  If we go behind the podiums, you can see two green lights.
• 52:49
  When they're on, they signal to the candidate his microphone is
• 52:52
  on. When the green lights are off,
• 52:54
  they signal to the candidate his microphone is off.
• 52:57
  And so let's say I'm answering a question.
• 52:59
  My light is green and I'm speaking.
• 53:02
  Phil's microphone is off and his green lights are not
• 53:05
  illuminated. He's going to interrupt me as
• 53:07
  I'm speaking and this is what it will sound like.
• 53:10
  TNN sucks. So the point remains, right?
• 53:15
  Like, of course there's like a meme there, right?
• 53:17
  But the point is, is like, that's crazy.
• 53:19
  Why can't they have a that's the whole point of a conversation.
• 53:22
  And this is an example. This is what I'm talking about
• 53:24
  with Julian Assange. This is what I'm talking about
• 53:26
  mass scale, peer-to-peer communications.
• 53:28
  This is why they tried to release the Ministry of Truth.
• 53:31
  It's all interconnected, right? The state used to operate in an
• 53:35
  environment where they had complete control of the
• 53:37
  narrative. Social media came and said no,
• 53:40
  no, no, no, no. Bitcoin said, you know what?
• 53:42
  People could use their own money.
• 53:44
  And of course they're freaking out.
• 53:45
  They don't no longer have a monopoly on information, and
• 53:48
  they're going to soon lose their monopoly on money.
• 53:50
  And that is going to fundamentally change the role of
• 53:53
  the state in people's lives. Opti.
• 53:56
  Wow, Well, what a what a rip. That was a great coverage.
• 54:00
  I'm glad we're covering this. First and foremost, of course,
• 54:03
  you know, peace be with Julian Assange.
• 54:06
  It's been a long decade. I'm super glad that he's finally
• 54:09
  free, can get back to his family, you know, embrace his
• 54:12
  wife. Was having a conversation with a
• 54:13
  fellow Bitcoiner at the mining conference and he was like, man,
• 54:17
  they just dropped the press conference.
• 54:18
  And I was literally getting teary eyed watching Julian
• 54:21
  Assange walk off the plane and embrace his wife.
• 54:23
  So, you know, on that front, absolutely great to see though.
• 54:28
  Like we, you know, Nico was pointing out, it does seem like
• 54:31
  a bit of a struggle session and where he has to admit that he's
• 54:33
  guilty to certain charges. And, you know, there was a lot
• 54:37
  of rumors running around about what the plea deal actually
• 54:40
  included. But the fact that he's free and
• 54:43
  like we were talking about, I don't think there's a
• 54:45
  coincidence that this happened to one week after Trump embraces
• 54:50
  Bitcoin, Trump comes out and says free Ross.
• 54:53
  And now the Biden administration is like, OK, what can we we do
• 54:57
  to also try to garner that support from people?
• 55:00
  And it's, of course, figure out a plea deal with Julian Assange,
• 55:03
  get him home right before the presidential debate tonight.
• 55:06
  And then not only that, including the muting of the
• 55:09
  debate, it really goes into what we talk about here all the time,
• 55:12
  which is the Freedom of Information.
• 55:14
  And someone in the chat, they're probably kind of trolling or
• 55:17
  just saying like, we're watching simply Bitcoin, we're back.
• 55:20
  But their comment was, let's talk about Bitcoin while we were
• 55:22
  ripping this. And I always have to say, guys,
• 55:25
  freedom of speech is a Bitcoin Bitcoin issue.
• 55:27
  Bitcoin is just code. If you cannot speak freely, what
• 55:31
  makes you think you can transact freely?
• 55:33
  Which is why this is a Bitcoin issue.
• 55:35
  And actually, I really like Justine's comment in there on
• 55:38
  the Bitcoin mag post where she's like, I really, I'd rather not
• 55:41
  know because let's not dox the the wallet information there,
• 55:44
  which I think it's a is a great, great tweet.
• 55:46
  You don't have to pull it back up because we don't need to
• 55:48
  redox it again. But this is what Bitcoin allows
• 55:52
  for not only citizen journalists, but for quote, UN
• 55:55
  quote, legacy mainstream journalists that are actually
• 55:57
  trying to be journalists. Like, I don't know, I may
• 56:00
  vaguely remember that journalists were supposedly
• 56:02
  protected under the law where they can have these
• 56:04
  conversations. But we've gotten to such a point
• 56:07
  where if you talk about things that go against the
• 56:09
  administration, you are literally going to get sent into
• 56:12
  a box. And so it really kind of leads
• 56:14
  credence to the idea that I always say it really feels like
• 56:16
  the pendulum swing the other way.
• 56:18
  People want truth. People are looking for
• 56:21
  information that isn't filtered. Like Muss said, we don't want
• 56:24
  the filtered voice of the people.
• 56:26
  We want to be able to talk about the truth.
• 56:28
  If we can't speak freely, we will never get to the bottom of
• 56:30
  the truth. And as we know with Fiat
• 56:32
  currency, it is so detached from reality that This is why we're
• 56:35
  seeing, you know, the the new Rome basically crumble in real
• 56:39
  time. And This is why we need to have
• 56:41
  these conversations. Yes, you know, there will be
• 56:43
  some people that say dumb things, but that's the beauty of
• 56:46
  freedom of speech. The dumb people get exposed just
• 56:48
  as much as the evil people get exposed.
• 56:50
  And this is how we congregate on the truth.
• 56:52
  So I really love where this is going.
• 56:55
  And then on the on the the debate tonight, you know, it's
• 56:59
  it's obviously going to be a huge thing on the Internet.
• 57:02
  And we had planned to do a YouTube stream on it.
• 57:04
  But now that we can't even, you know, get a bit corners
• 57:06
  perspective on YouTube around this, it's like, what's the
• 57:09
  point of doing it now? And this really goes into
• 57:12
  everything we say on the show continuously, every single day.
• 57:15
  They do not want us having these conversations.
• 57:18
  You guys are frontline soldiers on the information war on the
• 57:21
  Internet. And This is why it is so
• 57:23
  important to continue to talk about this stuff with your
• 57:26
  friends and family. Continue to make the memes,
• 57:28
  continue to tweet, continue to, you know, comment on the post
• 57:32
  from the legacy media or the corporate press where they're
• 57:34
  just being blatantly lying to everyone.
• 57:37
  And we can combat their narratives because people are
• 57:39
  looking for it. And one comment leads them down
• 57:42
  a rabbit hole. And I, I really feel like we,
• 57:45
  the pendulum is swinging towards a better future.
• 57:47
  It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be, you know,
• 57:50
  it is a peaceful revolution. But we see that they are pulling
• 57:54
  out all the tricks to try to stop this information happening.
• 57:57
  And personally, that just makes me absolutely bullish on the
• 58:00
  future. Absolutely.
• 58:01
  I mean, we're definitely winning.
• 58:02
  Anders, what's your take on this, bro?
• 58:04
  You've been in the trenches with us, man, fighting on a different
• 58:06
  front, of course. But I think we all feel this.
• 58:09
  This is like a crazy historic time in human history.
• 58:12
  You know, that quote, that famous quote comes to fine,
• 58:14
  right? There are decades that nothing
• 58:16
  happened and then there are weeks that decades happened.
• 58:18
  We're definitely living through, you know, these crazy pivotal
• 58:21
  moment in human history. And I think it's going to
• 58:23
  determine what future your children will live in a future
• 58:27
  of freedom or a future of, you know, futuristic, you know,
• 58:31
  slavery, right? Which is not necessarily like
• 58:34
  with the chains and all that stuff, but it's this slavery of
• 58:37
  like the soft power forcing function of CBD CS where they
• 58:41
  incentivize you towards certain behaviors, which is like, you
• 58:45
  know, cooking for the government.
• 58:47
  If not, they shut off the money or there might be other
• 58:49
  consequences. So Anders, I know, I know you, I
• 58:52
  know you know what's at stake. What's your what's your thoughts
• 58:54
  on all this bro? No, I, I agree.
• 58:57
  I mean, you could just like all roads lead to Rome, all topics,
• 59:03
  all issues lead to Bitcoin, everything.
• 59:05
  Bitcoin is the common denominator.
• 59:07
  Money is the foundation of any society.
• 59:10
  And when the money is rotten, society is rotten.
• 59:12
  And that's what we're seeing and have seen since 1913 and in
• 59:15
  Europe longer time than that. So so freedom of speech is
• 59:19
  absolutely a a a Bitcoin topic and up he's laughing.
• 59:26
  There's you guys have a great. Chat.
• 59:28
  I'm sorry, it's a chat. The chat cracks me up.
• 59:30
  They're incredible. I know X Damas.
• 59:34
  He's my friend. He's my homie from LA.
• 59:36
  We're staying in a Airbnb together in Nashville.
• 59:43
  So, yeah, well, shout out X Damas.
• 59:46
  Yeah, freedom of speech is absolutely necessary.
• 59:48
  It is a Bitcoin topic. Everything is a Bitcoin topic.
• 59:51
  And and we need freedom of speech.
• 59:53
  I mean, so many of the American like the constitutions, what do
• 59:59
  you call them, amendments or whatever, they've already been
• 1:00:01
  destroyed and are no longer valid.
• 1:00:04
  You know, freedom of speech. All tech platforms destroy
• 1:00:07
  freedom of speech, even Twitter. And then Elon bought it, and
• 1:00:11
  then we got it back kind of right.
• 1:00:14
  And and and and then there's others of, of those amendments
• 1:00:21
  that just being taken from was one by one.
• 1:00:24
  The good thing is that as as Scarface said, you know that
• 1:00:31
  Nico, you're, you're from Miami, right?
• 1:00:33
  First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get
• 1:00:36
  the women. Now let's leave out.
• 1:00:39
  What's the 2nd? Let's leave out the last bit for
• 1:00:44
  now, but money leads to power. Money is the foundation of
• 1:00:48
  power. Money buys your power.
• 1:00:51
  And when the money is rotten and when the money is controlled by
• 1:00:55
  our private banking families like it is in the US, the Fed,
• 1:01:00
  you can't audit it because there's too much stuff that they
• 1:01:03
  don't want you to see. It's not, it's not the like,
• 1:01:06
  it's not the people of US owning the Federal Reserve.
• 1:01:08
  It's banking families. It's not federal.
• 1:01:10
  There is no reserve, but by decentralizing money, by making
• 1:01:15
  it hard money, by making it the best money that mankind by far
• 1:01:19
  has ever seen, and actually making it perfect on all but one
• 1:01:23
  parameters of money means you can't make it better.
• 1:01:27
  Like this is the winner. This is the end game.
• 1:01:29
  Bitcoin is the end game. It, it, it's so superior and,
• 1:01:35
  and that is going to defund the evil satanic deep state and
• 1:01:42
  we're winning. That's the good news.
• 1:01:44
  They can't stop it. So you can participate like we
• 1:01:47
  are, you know, spreading the word or whatever, or you can buy
• 1:01:50
  Bitcoin, Go, go sit on the beach and sip pina coladas.
• 1:01:54
  If you, if you put your, your, your economic energy into
• 1:01:57
  Bitcoin, you are helping, you are moving economic energy into
• 1:02:04
  the revolution. So. 100% did you?
• 1:02:07
  You hit the nail on the head. Like, yeah, like, and that's
• 1:02:09
  what people have to fundamentally understand.
• 1:02:11
  Like we're talking about this revolution.
• 1:02:12
  You're like Nico, you're fucking smoking crack.
• 1:02:14
  Like what are you talking about? Dude?
• 1:02:16
  Listen, this revolution is so simple.
• 1:02:19
  You like put Bitcoin in self custody.
• 1:02:22
  You are the sole owner of those keys and you are part of this
• 1:02:26
  revolution. Like you're just part of it.
• 1:02:27
  You're part of it, right? That's all you have to do.
• 1:02:29
  It's as simple as that. If you don't put Bitcoin in self
• 1:02:32
  custody and I'll make it black and white 'cause it's really is
• 1:02:35
  black and white. If you don't have Bitcoin in
• 1:02:37
  self custody, it's in the hands of the state.
• 1:02:39
  They just haven't taken it yet, right?
• 1:02:41
  So if you look at it that way, as simple as that, it's really
• 1:02:45
  that simple. So how do we win?
• 1:02:46
  We get more people taking into big taking Bitcoin into self
• 1:02:49
  custody. The more people do it, we're
• 1:02:52
  going to win. That's it.
• 1:02:52
  It's as simple as that. All right, everybody, let's hit
• 1:02:54

  How you doing man? And I'm so excited the the pleb
• 1:04:54
  party in Miami was was balling bro, you.
• 1:04:57
  We had a special appearance from Michael Saylor.
• 1:05:00
  It was at the rooftop of this Miami theater, epic venue.
• 1:05:04
  And it was a shit show in a good way.
• 1:05:08
  It just got rowdy. People were talking.
• 1:05:11
  Great way, great place to network.
• 1:05:13
  You had this giant, like, TV screen playing the most famous
• 1:05:18
  memes. So could you give the audience
• 1:05:20
  like, some sneak peek? What tricks do you have up your
• 1:05:23
  sleeve this year, Anders? Man, I'm so I know you got
• 1:05:26
  surprises for us bro. Sold.
• 1:05:29
  Sold a secret, but I will tell you this, the first play party I
• 1:05:33
  organized, which was in LA, there was and, and, and I
• 1:05:37
  remember Opti was there for sure at that first one.
• 1:05:41
  Were you there, Nico? I'm not sure.
• 1:05:43
  The first one in LA at 22, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:46
  OK. So there was free hot dogs
• 1:05:49
  there, but these were low grade, you know, kind of what do you
• 1:05:53
  call them, Costco hot dogs? I remember.
• 1:05:54
  I came with you, I remember. That I was remember.
• 1:05:56
  Dude, yeah, of course. That was a great.
• 1:05:58
  That was the first one. I didn't know that.
• 1:06:00
  It seemed like you've been trying party for decades.
• 1:06:02
  Wait wait wait, can can we acknowledge that Nico only
• 1:06:06
  remembered the LA Pleb party because of the hot dogs?
• 1:06:09
  Yes, we can. I remember the venue.
• 1:06:11
  The venue was really fucking cool.
• 1:06:12
  It was really, really cool dude it.
• 1:06:14
  Was nice. Yeah, it was super dope.
• 1:06:16
  So I don't wanna go into too many details yet, but I just
• 1:06:22
  think this is funny because that first play party, they had free
• 1:06:27
  hot dogs, but Costco level kind of quality, right?
• 1:06:30
  They were free. But this time there's gonna be
• 1:06:33
  like some gourmet hot dogs. Wow, good meat.
• 1:06:37
  It's going to smell good. It's going to taste good.
• 1:06:39
  That's going to be part of the food that people can enjoy.
• 1:06:44
  This is included in your ticket, right?
• 1:06:46
  Yes, like holy shit, food. So like.
• 1:06:48
  Horse meat, hot dogs? I'd love to hear it.
• 1:06:51
  And so right now there's 18 tickets left at $212.00.
• 1:06:57
  And yeah, you don't have to worry about lunch that day, You
• 1:06:59
  don't have to worry about dinner.
• 1:07:01
  There's food for 12 hours and obviously the drinks before
• 1:07:05
  lunch, during lunch, after lunch, pre dinner, at dinner,
• 1:07:08
  after. It's all included in the ticket.
• 1:07:11
  Love it all. Right.
• 1:07:12
  All right, Anders. Well, I know you don't want to
• 1:07:16
  release too much of the information, but just updating
• 1:07:18
  the people this last week or was it the beginning of this week?
• 1:07:22
  I don't remember exactly, but you did tweet out that you got
• 1:07:25
  the last finishing touches on the party.
• 1:07:28
  So it's all good to go. You're ready to go.
• 1:07:31
  Please give us some type of insight.
• 1:07:33
  I want to know what is going on. Let's talk more about the venue.
• 1:07:36
  OK, so I gave a brief description, right?
• 1:07:39
  So talk a little bit about this, this automobile factory.
• 1:07:43
  How did you, why are you throwing a party at an old
• 1:07:46
  automobile factory? Like what did you find?
• 1:07:48
  Is it like it you said as brick walls?
• 1:07:50
  Like what is it about it? I mean, as you saw in Miami, I
• 1:07:54
  think the venue is really, really important.
• 1:07:56
  Absolutely. It creates the atmosphere for
• 1:07:58
  sure. And, and I managed to pull that
• 1:08:01
  off, I think, pretty well in LA, even though it was free.
• 1:08:04
  But that's also why we ended up, you know, in the negative
• 1:08:06
  because like, you didn't sell a ticket, but you still threw a
• 1:08:09
  party. So yeah, it's going to cost you
• 1:08:10
  money. Miami, I think, was honestly the
• 1:08:15
  best venue throughout any party, VIP, whatever.
• 1:08:18
  And that's what I'm trying to do, give Laplace an opportunity
• 1:08:22
  to come to a party that's going to be cooler, better, better
• 1:08:25
  than you that any of the VA PS. But all the fun people are going
• 1:08:28
  to be there because it's all your friends from Bitcoin X like
• 1:08:33
  Octi, Nico and the list goes on. It's me.
• 1:08:37
  It's me. It's me.
• 1:08:39
  OK, it's off on. No, don't do it.
• 1:08:45
  And well, so I had a meeting two days ago with 4 ladies from the
• 1:08:51
  venue. Everyone participates in the
• 1:08:53
  meeting. Got a lot of the, you know,
• 1:08:55
  final touches ready. Setting up a floor plan with 80%
• 1:09:01
  is going to be high tops. And then some lounge furniture
• 1:09:05
  in the middle. But most importantly, there's
• 1:09:07
  these separate rooms. There's a bar called Colliers,
• 1:09:10
  which is super cool. So there is going to be a total
• 1:09:14
  of was it four or five bars in total.
• 1:09:18
  So there's plenty of areas you can move around.
• 1:09:20
  You can hang out with your friends there or there or there,
• 1:09:23
  you know. And yeah, look, most things from
• 1:09:27
  before the FET was created are just better.
• 1:09:29
  And this is from three years before the FET, so.
• 1:09:31
  Let's go. Well, Anders, I know I'm going
• 1:09:33
  to steal Nico's favorite saying you buried the lead there.
• 1:09:37
  There will actually be girls at the pleb.
• 1:09:39
  Party. There will be, Yes, yes, I know
• 1:09:43
  that there will be that I can confirm.
• 1:09:47
  I'm I'm a trolling Anders, though I do want to mention
• 1:09:50
  before you know, I know you don't want to, you know, expose
• 1:09:54
  everyone that's going to be there, but I may heard there's
• 1:09:56
  some special people anyways over in Miami at mining disrupt.
• 1:10:01
  I literally I was telling you before the show that I had a few
• 1:10:04
  people come up to me and they're like you're going to be in
• 1:10:05
  Nashville. I was like, yeah, of course, and
• 1:10:07
  there's like I'm literally only going basically to go to Anders
• 1:10:10
  pleb party on the Thursday before the conference.
• 1:10:14
  So it's a known, this is where you want to be.
• 1:10:16
  This is where all your friends are going to be.
• 1:10:18
  I don't want to call it a networking event, but it's an
• 1:10:20
  actual party. This is where you hang out.
• 1:10:22
  This is the fun part of the the whole conference.
• 1:10:24
  Time out, time out, time out. Yeah, we're going to stamp a
• 1:10:28
  seed at the pleb party and for sure we're going to do that.
• 1:10:32
  We're going to bring the hammer and we're going to stamp that
• 1:10:36
  seed into titanium. And, you know, we're going to
• 1:10:39
  make a lot of future generations very, very happy.
• 1:10:44
  Why in the comments Trump is going?
• 1:10:47
  Oh my God, I didn't want to say it when he goes, I didn't.
• 1:10:52
  Even say it perfect segue So we you know, we have the list.
• 1:10:56
  We say it every single day, but you know, sneak peek don't well,
• 1:11:01
  let's not dox their names, but potentially might get some of
• 1:11:05
  the biggest names in Bitcoin to hang out with us this year again
• 1:11:08
  at the pleb party in Nashville. So can you confirm or deny that,
• 1:11:11
  Anders? Oh, absolutely.
• 1:11:13
  I mean, that's it's kind of been something that we've been able
• 1:11:19
  to do from the beginning because we had a a lot of, you know,
• 1:11:23
  when we did toxic Cappy on YouTube, we had a lot of these
• 1:11:26
  big, big names on on on the on the channel and they kind of
• 1:11:31
  like became friends. So they came out and you know,
• 1:11:33
  enjoying the first play party like Larry Leppard, Jeff Booth,
• 1:11:40
  James lavish, Natalie Brunell crypto call, like the list just
• 1:11:45
  goes on. And at the last one, Michael
• 1:11:47
  Saylor showed up and and then I was in Prague a couple of weeks
• 1:11:51
  ago where M Seed and I was introducing Saylor and I was.
• 1:11:55
  You introduced him, Dude, that was so epic.
• 1:11:58
  I was, I was like, holy shit, like I'm so dude.
• 1:12:00
  We got a famous people on the stream today.
• 1:12:02
  It's not us, it's on. How did you do?
• 1:12:04
  How did you manage to get that? Bro, that was epic.
• 1:12:07
  That was so crazy. I was like, holy shit, Anders is
• 1:12:10
  MC and he's introducing Michael Saylor at one of the largest
• 1:12:14
  Bitcoin conferences in Europe. That was insane.
• 1:12:17
  Yeah, I How did I get it? I don't know.
• 1:12:19
  You have to ask Matthias from BBC Proc, Which who by the way,
• 1:12:24
  and this is, this is actually a good point of like going to
• 1:12:26
  social events, like obviously the pleb party.
• 1:12:29
  Matthias and Martin from BDC Proc, the brothers behind it,
• 1:12:33
  attended the first play party that are organized in LA.
• 1:12:36
  So I spoke to them there and then I spoke to them later
• 1:12:38
  during the conference because now we knew each other.
• 1:12:40
  That was my key to getting the MC gig at BDC Proc last year
• 1:12:45
  during Industry Day. And then for whatever reason,
• 1:12:48
  they chose to put me on mainstage again this year.
• 1:12:51
  But on general admission, you know, where everyone's there and
• 1:12:55
  I got to introduce Sailor and that was awesome.
• 1:12:57
  So I get to talk with Sailor a little bit before going on
• 1:13:01
  stage. And I said thank you for being
• 1:13:03
  there in Miami. And, you know, you have an
• 1:13:04
  invite if you want to hang out in Nashville.
• 1:13:08
  And I, you know, there's, I don't know if I should go any
• 1:13:11
  further than that. But dude, isn't it crazy like I
• 1:13:15
  I've seen, you know, look, Sailor's a billionaire,
• 1:13:19
  obviously has more purchasing power, but when people have to
• 1:13:22
  like Bitcoin is equal in the sense that like he had to pay
• 1:13:27
  the price of tuition just like everyone else.
• 1:13:29
  He had to buy at a certain point, point and whatever,
• 1:13:31
  whatever, it always happens with everyone, everyone always.
• 1:13:35
  You buy into the bull market, you get absolutely hammered and
• 1:13:38
  crushed during the bear and then, you know, it humbles you a
• 1:13:43
  little bit and you survive. And I never forget, Anders, you
• 1:13:45
  were there at PB Pacific Bitcoin 2022.
• 1:13:49
  Price of Bitcoin was 16 K Sailor was in the front row watching
• 1:13:54
  all the talks on the PB stage. And I remember he was stoic.
• 1:13:59
  He was, you know, he wasn't smiling.
• 1:14:01
  He was just silently watching all the talks.
• 1:14:04
  And when this thing ripped, Opti and I were like, observe this.
• 1:14:07
  We're like, dude, Sailor's smiling on the interviews,
• 1:14:11
  right? And then when he did his
• 1:14:13
  investment report? I remember not only smiling but
• 1:14:16
  calling people dumb on. Yeah, like, like, dude, it was,
• 1:14:20
  it was insane. Like.
• 1:14:23
  Because they want to sell it. Eventually, Michael, I mean,
• 1:14:26
  let's be honest, most of the people who are yes, you sure if
• 1:14:28
  some people pass it on to their children, but like most of the
• 1:14:32
  people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the.
• 1:14:35
  Assets at a profit. So I guess let me say it
• 1:14:38
  differently. People that use Fiat currency as
• 1:14:41
  a store of value, there's a name for them.
• 1:14:43
  We call them poor, OK, completely.
• 1:14:52
  Breaking the. Overton window, you know like
• 1:14:56
  and you could tell like he he he smile, he's smiling, you know
• 1:15:01
  and and again he started wearing the Bitcoin logo right.
• 1:15:04
  So and this is something that happens with all Bitcoiners.
• 1:15:07
  American Huddle talks about this phenomenon.
• 1:15:10
  The more cycles you you're in, the less you start to give a
• 1:15:14
  fuck, right? You're just, you just like your,
• 1:15:16
  your level of give a fuckness starts to decrease and you're
• 1:15:19
  just like pro, you know? So, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm so
• 1:15:25
  glad that Sailor's unleashed. I would be surprised that, you
• 1:15:29
  know, in five years I could see Sailor doing an interview on
• 1:15:32
  legacy media with the shirt off. Like, probably.
• 1:15:36
  With the beard with the tip on the tip.
• 1:15:38
  On a yacht, yeah. With.
• 1:15:40
  The tip? You know, because he's just let
• 1:15:43
  loose a little bit as much as he can, you know, but he's, he's
• 1:15:46
  representing Bitcoin. He's wearing the shirt, you
• 1:15:49
  know, he's letting loose. He, he's going to the parties,
• 1:15:51
  you know, he's a little bit reserved.
• 1:15:52
  I get it. You know, he's, he's a, he's a
• 1:15:54
  chairman of a public company, you know, but he is like a major
• 1:15:57
  figurehead of the Bitcoin movement.
• 1:15:58
  And he might might be at the pleb party in Nashville 2024
• 1:16:03
  because Anders introduced him at Prague maybe, right?
• 1:16:10
  Just. Just to add on that, like I said
• 1:16:12
  earlier, I had people tell me in Miami, they're literally only
• 1:16:15
  going to the pleb party or the sorry, the conference in
• 1:16:20
  Nashville because of the pleb party And a verbatim we're
• 1:16:22
  saying like I'm going there because if Bitcoin are going to
• 1:16:26
  be a Bitcoin is going to be the new elites.
• 1:16:28
  Like I want to be around the the people that are going to usher
• 1:16:31
  in a better world. And This is why you go to events
• 1:16:34
  like this. This is the whole point of this.
• 1:16:35
  You make the relationships in real life, not just on the
• 1:16:38
  Internet. And this is how we build a
• 1:16:41
  better not only society, but a better circular community,
• 1:16:45
  circular economy around Bitcoin is by knowing the people you
• 1:16:48
  interact with. Yes, Bitcoin is trust minimized.
• 1:16:51
  You don't have to trust people, but we're still human after all,
• 1:16:53
  and you got to hang out with people in real.
• 1:16:55

• 1:17:12
  to the closer. Let's just give Anders last last
• 1:17:15
  two sets. I want to give you the mic.
• 1:17:16
  What are some final messages? Just final thoughts towards the
• 1:17:20
  audience. Well I just wanna claim complete
• 1:17:23
  responsibility for ending the bear market in 2022 because the
• 1:17:28
  first pleb party was held the very day that Bitcoin went down
• 1:17:33
  to 15,600. And and then the pleb party
• 1:17:37
  happened. And because of all these rich
• 1:17:40
  plebs not selling that Bitcoin that one evening where they were
• 1:17:43
  hanging out and having fun with their friends, that whole sell
• 1:17:46
  side went away and the price started pumping and then the
• 1:17:49
  mood in the market changed around.
• 1:17:51
  So pleb parties change markets and ends bear markets and boy,
• 1:17:57
  who knows what's going to happen in Nashville.
• 1:17:59
  Exactly. I I'm, I'm, I'm incredibly
• 1:18:01
  excited. This is the year before you know
• 1:18:04
  if Bitcoin continues to follow its cyclical pattern.
• 1:18:07
  The year before an explosive historic bull market's.
• 1:18:14
  This way, this way, this way, get on.
• 1:18:16
  Board. So yeah, I'm incredibly excited
• 1:18:20
