  Yo welcome to another episode of Simply bitcoind live, where your
• 0:15
  number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution of
• 0:18
  the curvy can use culture Matic Warfare.
• 0:20
  We will be your guide through the separation of money and
• 0:24
  state man. Oh man, so many awesome Clips
• 0:30
  coming out of the Bitcoin policy Summit live stream.
• 0:38
  That was presented by Swan Bitcoin.
• 0:40
  They stream the whole thing from the swan Bitcoin Channel.
• 0:44
  They you know we know they had very high-profile members of
• 0:49
  Congress. They had a Tom emmer of the
• 0:53
  House of Representatives they had Senator Ted Cruz, they had
• 0:59
  Senator the Bitcoin Senator Senator Cynthia lummis.
• 1:03
  And we're going to play you guys some clips in the next couple of
• 1:06
  days. A we're going to focus on is Ted
• 1:09
  Cruz specifically. Yesterday we played you jack
• 1:12
  mahler's bit. What I loved about Jack mahler's
• 1:15
  bit is that he said the quiet power out loud.
• 1:17
  He said basically what we've been making the case for on
• 1:21
  simply Bitcoin is if the if the u.s. does not get its act
• 1:24
  together, Bitcoins are going to leave you know and Jack
• 1:28
  mahler's. Not only made that Veiled Threat
• 1:31
  in the very beginning of his speech but also towards the end
• 1:35
  and Tuco Caught him to paraphrase.
• 1:38
  Him basically said, you know you want bitcoiners paying taxes in
• 1:42
  Texas, you don't want them paying taxes in Dubai, right?
• 1:47
  And that highlights the the, the power that Bitcoin gives you
• 1:51
  Bitcoin gives you two Powers. But of course, only if you take
• 1:54
  self custody Power number one is.
• 1:57
  It gives you the power to vote with your money.
• 1:59
  Obviously, without fear of censorship, without fear of, you
• 2:04
  know, a pushback from the regime currently running your nation
• 2:10
  state and it also gives you the most important power that I
• 2:14
  don't think that humans have had this power individuals, better
• 2:17
  said have had this power for a very, very long time which is,
• 2:21
  it gives you the power to vote with your feet, right?
• 2:23
  If you could memorize 12 words, you can cross a border and it's
• 2:27
  going to be very very difficult for those border guards to
• 2:31
  extract the wealth. Right?
• 2:33
  And you know some of the capital Rules that are in place, right?
• 2:37
  And of course, they use the excuses.
• 2:39
  They use very similar excuses. As you know, the financial
• 2:43
  action task force and the IMF. It's all under the guise of
• 2:47
  financial stability and terrorism and money, laundering,
• 2:51
  and etc, etc, etc! And right now currently, if you
• 2:56
  get on a plane and you go to another country, you have to
• 3:00
  report any assets that you have over to.
• 3:04
  If you're if you have Have any assets on person that are worth
• 3:08
  more than ten thousand US dollars?
• 3:11
  But it's funny because when they implemented that, right?
• 3:14
  And when they implemented the reporting requirement for this
• 3:18
  ten thousand dollar rule back in, it was back in the 70s with
• 3:22
  the bank secrecy act. The thing is that ten thousand
• 3:25
  dollars back then was the equivalent to like I think it
• 3:28
  was like 70,000 dollars to a hundred thousand dollars.
• 3:32
  So but it's funny because they left the same number, right?
• 3:36
  You know and then ever so slowly inflation.
• 3:38
  Did its thing and politicians are not incentivized to change
• 3:41
  that number, right? So you know, this is this all
• 3:44
  goes back, it all ties. Back to the theory from the
• 3:47
  sovereign individual that, the rise of information Technologies
• 3:52
  are going to empower individuals, the likes of which
• 3:55
  have never seen before, have has never been seen before in human
• 3:59
  history and therefore, in the long run, it's going to heavily
• 4:04
  it. Fact, the the wealth extraction
• 4:10
  mechanisms that the state has at hand and I'm not talking about
• 4:14
  specifically taxes here, right? Taxes is a whole other
• 4:17
  hot-button issue, you know. Some people are like look low
• 4:19
  taxes. Some people are like, I'm Pro
• 4:22
  taxes but I'm not going to talk about that.
• 4:25
  What I'm going to talk about is the wealth redistribution
• 4:28
  mechanism. That is the most harmful that
• 4:32
  governments are using that to pay for Endless Wars and Pay for
• 4:36
  these social programs that you might not agree with that.
• 4:39
  Use that to buy certain votes and that is the wealth
• 4:44
  redistribution mechanism of inflation, right?
• 4:48
  And Bitcoin is basically an opt-out mechanism.
• 4:51
  This is a guy, you know what, I don't want to opt into
• 4:54
  inflation. I actually want to save and use
• 4:56
  money that actually increases in purchasing power over time,
• 5:00
  right? So you know, you gotta connect
• 5:02
  the dots, right? And I think that's really what
• 5:04
  Jack Mahler said. Yesterday and yesterday speech.
• 5:07
  Look, if you guys don't, you know, like accept this
• 5:10
  technology. If you don't take advantage of
• 5:13
  this technology bitcoiners are going to move, right?
• 5:17
  So I think that's why, you know, the the Bitcoin policy Summit
• 5:21
  was so influential in the swamp, in the Imperial City of
• 5:25
  Washington DC and I think this is just the first inning though.
• 5:29
  This is the first round. So we're very excited to cover
• 5:32
  all that today, but before we start the show, I want to
• 5:35
  introduce My awesome co-host. He's made it through the week.
• 5:39
  How you doing Opti? How much coffee have you drank
• 5:42
  this mod, brother? Not enough.
• 5:44
  I've read, we ran out of coffee over here.
• 5:46
  So I actually had to, I know Tomatoes, I had to go to
• 5:49
  Starbucks this morning and get me a double espresso and a
• 5:52
  medium coffee. I know, I know consumerism, it's
• 5:55
  bad, whatever, whatever, whatever.
• 5:57
  So I didn't have as much coffee as usual, but I think it's just
• 6:00
  started. Maybe it's just the adrenaline
• 6:02
  of being live. That like, all right, we're good
• 6:03
  to go but yeah, man, I really Lee.
• 6:06
  I really love the intro because it's something that we cover
• 6:09
  here every single day. It is the fact that the the
• 6:13
  current world has not caught up to where the world is going yet.
• 6:17
  And this is because of Bitcoin, and it's very interesting to see
• 6:21
  the world, or the powers-that-be, try to wrap
• 6:23
  their head around, what's going on right now, and they really do
• 6:27
  seem to be like, dinosaurs, what's up, bro?
• 6:33
  Anyways, we already know what we're doing in the news.
• 6:36
  I think we know what we're doing in the numbers, but let's bring
• 6:38
  up our guest today because he is a CFA and we are going to have
• 6:41
  this conversation about, you know, people that are supposedly
• 6:46
  in the know that are supposedly going to guide your finances
• 6:50
  better than you. And most of them don't
• 6:52
  understand what is going on yet. But hey recently orange peeled
• 6:55
  and I hopefully we can get that message out there so that more
• 6:59
  people catch up to speed on what we are doing here is bitcoiners.
• 7:02
  So let's bring out my Rashad. I think I said it correctly.
• 7:06
  Ugly, Regina. Welcome to the show.
• 7:08
  Can you tell everybody for anyone who doesn't know what a
• 7:11
  CFA is? So I CFA is a chartered
• 7:15
  financial analyst. We basically just go through,
• 7:18
  try to analyze assets, based on qualitative and quantitative
• 7:25
  features qualities. I think, I think Bitcoin a lot
• 7:29
  of people in that industry, a lot of people in the traditional
• 7:32
  Finance industry, they ignore Bitcoin because it has no
• 7:35
  tangibility. But I've kind of realized over
• 7:39
  time that time durability in a digital world means nothing.
• 7:42
  So Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
• 7:45
  Some sauce in the culture today. Yeah, I'm really, really looking
• 7:48
  forward to the show. Anyways, everybody.
• 7:50
  No more delay. Let's jump straight into it.
• 7:53

• 11:24
  So we read you guys this yesterday but just in case you
• 11:28
  guys didn't tune in. It says the conference aims to
• 11:30
  tell Or he's about Bitcoin that that's so often go and told the
• 11:34
  big that bit how Bitcoin is a human rights tool used in the
• 11:37
  struggle for democracy and Global Freedom, how the us could
• 11:40
  leverage Bitcoin as a strategic asset to achieve its
• 11:43
  geopolitical goals and how Bitcoin could serve as a unique
• 11:46
  stabilizer of energy grids and an unlikely player in our
• 11:50
  country's Renewable Energy Future.
• 11:53
  Okay, so no more delay. I want to play you a clip from
• 11:57
  Ted Cruz himself and let's hear what he has to say.
• 12:01
  Excited and Incredibly bullish on bitcoin.
• 12:05
  Specifically crypto more broadly but Bitcoin in particular I
• 12:09
  think Bitcoin is clearly the Alpha and the crypto sphere both
• 12:14
  in terms of coming first and and also being clearly the most
• 12:18
  dominant, I think the analogy of digital gold is is powerful and
• 12:25
  the Insight that led to its creation is still extraordinary.
• 12:31
  Listen, I'm I'm a Bitcoin investor personally.
• 12:35
  I have a standing by order every Monday morning.
• 12:37
  I have a by a Bitcoin that comes in and I own little more than 2
• 12:41
  Bitcoins. So it's it's and every Monday.
• 12:44
  I own a little bit more and I will say, I bought the dip which
• 12:52
  I was quite happy with, but I'm also a long-term investors.
• 12:56
  So I'm fine with some volatility and I recognize that if there's
• 13:00
  going to be going ups and they're going to be going down,
• 13:03
  but 21 million is a number that is a firm number.
• 13:07
  And I looked I think one of the attractions to bitcoin,
• 13:09
  certainly for me, but for many is as a hedge against inflation
• 13:16
  and particularly when you have irresponsible politicians,
• 13:20
  Oceans in Washington that spend money like drunken Sailors,
• 13:27
  which is actually not fair to the sailors because at least
• 13:29
  they're spending their own money and that print trillions and
• 13:34
  trillions of dollars. We see inflation all across the
• 13:36
  country that was driven by this spending binge.
• 13:42
  That happened the last two years in in Washington and it
• 13:46
  Unleashed significant inflation. I think Bitcoin is an, it is an
• 13:53
  important check against that. I think it is also Powerful in
• 13:58
  that, it is decentralized and that it is far less susceptible
• 14:03
  to government control. Listen, I like Bitcoin.
• 14:09
  For the same reason that the Chinese communist government
• 14:13
  doesn't like Bitcoin, they don't like Bitcoin and they banned it
• 14:19
  because they can't. They can't control it and
• 14:25
  Elizabeth Warren doesn't like Bitcoin because she can't
• 14:28
  control it. So obviously Ted Cruz hasn't
• 14:32
  gone full circle yet. You know he's still saying oh
• 14:35
  it's because Bitcoin is leading the pack.
• 14:38
  He doesn't quite understand that, you know, only Bitcoin
• 14:41
  could offer the separation of money and States because Bitcoin
• 14:45
  is the only one that is truly decentralized.
• 14:47
  It's not run by a foundation, it's not run by an elite, you
• 14:52
  know, and When I when I talk about Fiat money I say in a
• 14:56
  bureaucratic Elite that control and make the decisions and pull
• 15:00
  the strings. But as in the case with shit
• 15:03
  coins, it's a programmer Elite, you know that or you know the
• 15:09
  the developers the developer Elites that get to pick and
• 15:12
  choose what monetary policy is best suited for them for then it
• 15:17
  for them to benefit and everybody else loses Bitcoin
• 15:21
  levels, the playing field. But I think the Knoll there when
• 15:24
  when Ted Cruz was was talking, was really the fact that he
• 15:29
  mentioned that he was dollar cost averaging into Bitcoin.
• 15:33
  And that's what you need. You need more politicians
• 15:35
  stacking Bitcoin, because that radically changes their
• 15:39
  incentive structure that that incentivizes them to pass.
• 15:44
  More favorable Bitcoin laws that in say that incentivizes them
• 15:48
  not to be anti Bitcoin because they're holding it, right?
• 15:52
  So you actually want more memory.
• 15:53
  Years of government holding Bitcoin whether they're on the
• 15:56
  left or the right because they're incentivized to protect
• 16:00
  their investment. Right.
• 16:02
  So you know this is this is a this is a bottom-up movement,
• 16:06
  you know, this is Bitcoins incentives.
• 16:08
  Stay winning right and ever so slowly that you know that DCA
• 16:13
  that Ted Cruz is holding onto is going to be more and more
• 16:17
  significant as number go up. Technology does his thing.
• 16:21
  So Ted Cruz is going to be even more incentive.
• 16:23
  Sized to protect his investment. We know that Cynthia.
• 16:27
  Lummis is well right? Has you know an investment in
• 16:30
  Bitcoin, she's a hot Allure of Bitcoin so we need that number
• 16:33
  to keep going up. So we have two members of
• 16:36
  Congress confirmed that are bit coin, holder toddlers.
• 16:40
  We have 48 more to go and as ngu technology does its thing.
• 16:45
  I suspect that number will continue to go up, right?
• 16:48
  So this is the start, this is, you know, this is about
• 16:52
  infiltration. That's Infiltration, for lack of
• 16:55
  a better word. This is a peaceful infiltration
• 16:57
  into the members of government getting them to hold onto
• 17:01
  Bitcoin. And if they hold onto Bitcoin,
• 17:04
  they're not incentivized to attack it.
• 17:06
  And of course, I know what a lot of bitcoiners are saying in the
• 17:08
  audience Nico, this doesn't matter.
• 17:10
  You know, I run my own node, I take self custody of my own
• 17:14
  stack. Had this doesn't affect me, you
• 17:17
  know, after State and you know what?
• 17:21
  I think in the long run, you're right.
• 17:22
  But during this time, Transition period.
• 17:25
  Where we're transitioning from the current system into the new
• 17:28
  system. I can tell tell you something,
• 17:30
  they could sure make your life, a living hell and they're
• 17:35
  hell-bent on doing just that we know what the B administration's
• 17:39
  stance is on bitcoin. We know how Elizabeth Warren
• 17:44
  feels about Bitcoin. So there are definitely hostile
• 17:48
  members of government that are against this thing but as end
• 17:52
  number go up technology. This thing and as Mother Nature
• 17:55
  also does its thing. And you know, the fact is that
• 17:59
  the vast majority of people that hold Bitcoin are the younger
• 18:03
  generation and as the younger generation start to get older
• 18:07
  and they start to get into positions of power, you know?
• 18:09
  And they start to become CEOs, they start to become senators
• 18:13
  and congressmen and congresswomen, right?
• 18:16
  It's gonna be it's gonna be very difficult for for them to act
• 18:20
  against their own incentives, right?
• 18:23
  So it's too slow slow, take over the slow infiltration.
• 18:28
  And as time progresses, this will just continue to accelerate
• 18:32
  and accelerate and accelerate as number go up, technology is the
• 18:37
  best convincers. That is what got you here is
• 18:39
  number up number, go up technology, that is what gets
• 18:42
  most people here. But it's funny.
• 18:45
  You come for the wealth. You come for the riches.
• 18:47
  You come because you think you're going to get rich, but
• 18:50
  you stay. For the revolution, right?
• 18:54
  And this is what it's all about. Anyways Opti, what's your take
• 18:57
  on this and then we'll pass it on to our guests?
• 19:00
  Yeah, well, first and foremost, I think as the resident tinfoil
• 19:04
  hat where I have to say, look I fundamentally I'm not the
• 19:07
  biggest fan of any politician period, recent history and
• 19:10
  ancient history has shown us that most politicians are not to
• 19:15
  be trusted but the the more recent variety of them are all
• 19:19
  bought and paid for by big Biz. With that being said, I do love
• 19:22
  hearing Ted Cruz spread the Bitcoin signal and because it's
• 19:26
  something that we talk about here all the time is the more
• 19:29
  people holding Bitcoin. The more that people realize
• 19:32
  that Bitcoin isn't this big bad Boogeyman but it's going to
• 19:34
  actually improve their lives, improve their families lives.
• 19:37
  And this is why we do what we do every single day.
• 19:40
  But just to touch on some of the points that Ted was talking
• 19:43
  about, you know, Bitcoin is not just the alpha of the crypto
• 19:46
  landscape like Bitcoin is the apex predator of money, as
• 19:50
  bitcoiners have been saying on Twitter.
• 19:52
  And it's the best form of money that we've ever had in the
• 19:55
  world. And I think it's slowly, but
• 19:57
  surely starting to wake people up and then slowly.
• 19:59
  But surely start to realize the 10x Improvement that Bitcoin is
• 20:04
  over the current system and our current money again, Ted Cruz,
• 20:08
  he's almost there. He does sound very orange
• 20:11
  pilled, but it's Bitcoin not crypto, but hey, he is a part of
• 20:16
  the DC Army and this is what we need, we need more people in.
• 20:19
  I hate to say positions of power, but we need more Or
• 20:22
  individuals out there, stacking Bitcoin consistently feeling the
• 20:26
  effects of number go up on their lives often out of the Rat Race
• 20:29
  often out of the Fiat Matrix. And I mean, he's saying all the
• 20:32
  things that we say all the time you know, Bitcoin is a hedge
• 20:35
  against monetary inflation. Bitcoin is a way for you to save
• 20:39
  you know he's got that Monday morning.
• 20:40
  Stat coming in. He says, what we say you know, I
• 20:44
  like Bitcoin because they can't control it.
• 20:45
  No one can control it. I like Bitcoin for the same
• 20:48
  reason that China doesn't like it because it can't control it.
• 20:50
  Like this is good for Coin. Continuously spreading this
• 20:53
  signal again say what you want about Ted Cruz but more people
• 20:57
  holding Bitcoin means the more people realize, there's nothing
• 21:00
  to be afraid of in. The more people hold Bitcoin,
• 21:02
  the more we can usher in this Bitcoin future that we all know
• 21:06
  will happen. And it is a more prosperous
• 21:08
  future because those in control currently have been able to
• 21:13
  steal from the rest of the people.
• 21:15
  Whether it's through inflation, whether it's through taxation
• 21:18
  and now we have a money that literally protects From that
• 21:22
  Madness. So people fighting Bitcoin is a
• 21:26
  losing battle but that's where we are right now.
• 21:28
  But the more people wake up to the idea that you can't fight
• 21:31
  Bitcoin. You're better off just stacking
• 21:34
  SATs with the rest of us, people's lives will improve and
• 21:37
  the message will get out there and I'm just I just love to hear
• 21:40
  it man. Again I'm not the biggest fan of
• 21:43
  politicians but yeah Ted Cruz sounds like a big corner to me
• 21:46
  except there's one thing. Teddy stop dachshund your
• 21:50
  Holdings bro. Like I know.
• 21:52
  I know I know that's what makes people feel good especially
• 21:55
  coming from a like a traditional Financial world.
• 21:57
  It's like, yeah, you know, I only hold this much Bitcoin,
• 22:00
  it's not too much. It's at least some and it makes
• 22:03
  people feel. I don't know good about the fact
• 22:06
  that like, okay, he's not like, he's not fully fully balls-deep
• 22:10
  in Bitcoin, but at least he's got his toes in there.
• 22:12
  But hey, don't docks your Holdings, bro.
• 22:15
  Like you don't want to be doing that.
• 22:17
  That's not a good thing to be doing, but I understand It's
• 22:22
  like the level one Bitcoin and stuff.
• 22:24
  Like how coins you have, bro? How coin do you have, bro?
• 22:28
  But yeah, hey, that was some pure signal.
• 22:31
  He's like, I don't know this close like this close.
• 22:34
  I think he's I think the Bitcoin not crypto, like, Axiom is like
• 22:42
  his, his way of like, you know, not being too overtly aggressive
• 22:47
  about the message, but once he's just full out Bitcoin Maxi on
• 22:50
  us, I might Change my tune in might actually like a politician
• 22:54
  or two in America. Yeah.
• 22:56
  I mean, it's not even about liking a politician, like it's
• 22:58
  not even about liking name buchelli.
• 23:00
  It's not even about liking even though I do like nine buchelli.
• 23:03
  But it's really about, it's really about aligned incentives,
• 23:09
  right? And I know, for example, if Ted
• 23:12
  Cruz is has a nice stack, or I know, if 9 bouquet lay his, he's
• 23:18
  bet his country's future on bitcoin, making Bitcoin legal
• 23:21
  tender I don't really have to trust him 100% or like him 100%.
• 23:26
  But I trust their incentives, right?
• 23:28
  I trust their incentives. Make them a little bit more
• 23:31
  predictable and what they're going to do it.
• 23:33
  Do you think Ted Cruz is going to be for any anti Bitcoin
• 23:36
  regulation that might protect that might affect?
• 23:39
  You know, the, the worth of his bag of course.
• 23:43
  Not he's not you're not going to act against your own incentives,
• 23:45
  right? So anyways, that's what it's
• 23:47
  about. It's the slow infiltration,
• 23:51
  right? Oh, my gonna go down this Rabbit
• 23:54
  Hole. Yes.
• 23:55
  Okay, I will go down this Rabbit Hole.
• 23:57
  There's a very famous saying called the slow March through
• 24:00
  the institution's, right? And there has been a political
• 24:06
  ideologies that have done this successfully throughout history
• 24:09
  and Bitcoin. Well it's a slow March through
• 24:14
  the institution's baby and we will slowly take them over one
• 24:19
  by one by one and they will say and these people We'll be
• 24:22
  holding Bitcoin, right? Why because number go up, why?
• 24:26
  Because it provides the best incentives.
• 24:29
  So, good luck. Fighting against that Bitcoins
• 24:32
  incentives will always win over government coercion.
• 24:36
  A central bank, digital currency does not get rid of inflation
• 24:40
  and that is something that we must highlight and we must point
• 24:43
  out. Anyways we're jot.
• 24:46
  What are your thoughts on all this brother?
• 24:47
  Are we seeing things that are not?
• 24:49
  There are we, are we crazy? Re crazy bitcoiners or
• 24:53
  connecting the dots that don't quite exist.
• 24:57
  I think you're I think, I think bitcoiners are generally a
• 25:00
  little bit. I think there was an article
• 25:02
  from The New York Times that said bitcoiners aren't
• 25:05
  financially literate, something along those lines, but I noticed
• 25:09
  that a lot of the people who are there.
• 25:14
  Now, they they don't like Bitcoin because they see the
• 25:16
  fluctuations in price so they think that it's not a an
• 25:20
  inflation hedge but I think most people don't understand how
• 25:24
  inflation where I see there, right?
• 25:25
  I mean most politicians don't understand.
• 25:27
  I don't think Jerry Jerome. Powell understands how big one?
• 25:30
  A how inflation Works to be honest like based on his based
• 25:33
  on the things that he says based on just whatever comes out of
• 25:36
  his mouth it just makes him seem like he doesn't know what he's
• 25:39
  talking about. I think there was something
• 25:42
  where there was a there was a clip where he said we're
• 25:45
  learning more that we don't know about inflation.
• 25:48
  We don't understand about inflation.
• 25:50
  I mean it was it's pretty crazy that he's The one who's pretty
• 25:53
  much handling the monetary policy for the whole world,
• 25:56
  right? And, and he doesn't understand
• 25:58
  moloch. Monetary policy policy.
• 26:00
  It seems. So I know a lot of the posts
• 26:02
  that I that I put up. I mean, it's constantly know it
• 26:07
  declines not inflation, hedge. It wouldn't have gone down so
• 26:09
  much in value if it was. But clearly there's a there's a
• 26:13
  lack of understanding there. Someone commented this
• 26:18
  absolutely rajotte and someone commented this and I would like
• 26:22
  to response, right? So Steve Steve Dre, says, Cruz
• 26:25
  knows how loaded up with minors Texas is and he would be and he
• 26:29
  will be up for re-election soon. Exactly, that's the point.
• 26:35
  That's the point is that you don't have to trust these people
• 26:38
  individually. You just look at you, they're
• 26:41
  in, they're incentivized to do this.
• 26:43
  They're incentivized to say these certain things.
• 26:46
  The Vatican. A big portion of the, a nice
• 26:51
  chunk of the Texas economy is coming from Bitcoin miners.
• 26:56
  So obviously a senator from Texas would easily what is he
• 26:58
  going to do? He's gonna try to protect that
• 27:01
  industry. So this is what I was.
• 27:03
  This is what we're talking about aligned incentives and you know,
• 27:07
  Bitcoin is all about incentives. It's literally baked into the
• 27:10
  game theory, we have aligned incentives and they're
• 27:13
  advocating for a system that has it's aligned incentives.
• 27:18
  Anyways everybody, let's get to the news but before we get to
• 27:21
  the news that I have to make an announcement coming up, the
• 27:27

• 30:16
  are going to be talking about today.
• 30:20
  This is some victory, this is Victory.
• 30:23
  And again The reason I want to mention this is because the same
• 30:27
  exact thing happened in. Nigeria, in the case of
• 30:31
  Argentina Argentina, the Argentinian government received
• 30:35
  a bailout by our friends, over at the IMF of which Christine
• 30:39
  Lagarde used to be the head of opt.
• 30:41
  He's ex-girlfriend. And, you know, she got convicted
• 30:45
  of a crime and they rewarded her with becoming the head of the
• 30:48
  European Central Bank. It's interesting how those
• 30:50
  things work, right? Anyway.
• 30:52
  So but what happened was very interesting even with the our
• 30:56
  government of Argentina trying to D incentivize the adoption of
• 31:00
  Bitcoin, the exact opposite happened and something very
• 31:04
  similar happened in Nigeria in Nigeria.
• 31:06
  They rolled out their Central Bank, digital currencies, they e
• 31:09
  naira but what happened? Very low adoption rate and very
• 31:13
  high Bitcoin adoption rate specifically in the younger
• 31:17
  population. Now, why is this the case?
• 31:21
  Well, when the guy on TV in the suit that supposed to be
• 31:25
  representing the government saying, hey, you must hold on.
• 31:31
  To your state money, it's the Patriotic thing to do, but when
• 31:36
  you're, in this case of Argentina, in during 104 percent
• 31:40
  inflation, in the case of Nigeria dealing with
• 31:42
  double-digit inflation, you don't really care about what the
• 31:46
  guy on TV has to say you care about whether you can or you
• 31:51
  cannot put food on the table for your family.
• 31:53
  So the alternative of Bitcoin becomes a lot more alluring to
• 31:58
  you, right? And this is what we were talking
• 32:00
  about. We've been talking about a lot
• 32:02
  about incentives during this show.
• 32:04
  This is an example of Bitcoins incentives and there's really
• 32:09
  nothing. The established order could do
• 32:11
  about that. They're not going to be able to
• 32:13
  match Bitcoins incentives. They're always going to want to
• 32:15
  debase and they're always going to want to control the money
• 32:18
  flows, right? And because of those two
• 32:21
  reasons, no matter how they roll out the CBD, see Bitcoin will
• 32:25
  always be superior. In the eyes of people because
• 32:28
  it's incentives are just better Anyways, it goes on to say the
• 32:35
  growing crypto. Economy is constantly at odds
• 32:38
  with economic policies. Coming out of ailing Latin
• 32:41
  American economies like Argentina.
• 32:42
  The Argentine peso informal dollar exchange rate called the
• 32:46
  lighter blue is making new highs, reaching a 497 to 1 ratio
• 32:52
  on April 25th and inflation numbers surpassed 100 percent
• 32:56
  year over year as of March, and yet despite these numbers, the
• 33:01
  National monetary fund is negotiating a new payment
• 33:03
  agreement with Argentinean president Alberto Fernandez
• 33:07
  government, which reportedly includes a demand for more
• 33:10
  restrictive, crypto policies, from the Fernandez
• 33:13
  Administration. That's right.
• 33:15
  The the current Clauses weren't enough now.
• 33:19
  They want even more restrictive policies, even though the
• 33:22
  country is dealing with a hundred percent inflation.
• 33:25
  Who are these people I'm going to pull it out.
• 33:29
  I don't like saying this very often.
• 33:32
  These people are monetary fucking demons.
• 33:34
  Okay, what type of BS is this? I'll clearly the IMF does not
• 33:40
  care about the people of Argentina.
• 33:43
  Clearly, excuse me. The people clearly the IMF cares
• 33:50
  about the IMF, but there is some good news.
• 33:55
  And the good news is, is that still The scene over there, the
• 34:00
  Bitcoin senior to, you know, to be fair, the crypto scene of
• 34:04
  which you could be pretty sure that Bitcoin is a part of
• 34:07
  obviously is still booming despite that just like in
• 34:11
  Nigeria. Why?
• 34:12
  Because of incentives. Anyways, so it goes on to say
• 34:16
  Argentina's crypto scene is still booming in the context of
• 34:19
  Argentina where the price of US Dollars has doubled since last
• 34:22
  year's IMF. Negotiations began crypto stable
• 34:25
  coins, like us DT and Dy continued to gain popularity.
• 34:29
  Through informal 4X and crypto exchanges called guavas in
• 34:33
  addition, International, crypto exchanges, like, buying ads are
• 34:36
  expanding to capitalize on demand from the Argentinean
• 34:38
  market. Quote, this year is an election
• 34:41
  year. So action is unlikely.
• 34:44
  He added that his company's relationship with Regulators has
• 34:47
  always been cordial and constructive.
• 34:49
  Meanwhile, Argentina's Congress is about to pass a new
• 34:52
  Argentina. Uh, new anti London, laundering
• 34:55
  law with explicit references to exchanges and purchase sale
• 34:58
  Traders. Right.
• 34:59
  Do you guys always hear that? It's always the same thing.
• 35:02
  It's under the guise of money, laundering.
• 35:04
  It's under the guise of terrorism.
• 35:05
  It's under the guise of financial stability.
• 35:07
  It's always under the guise, right?
• 35:10
  So anyways, it goes on to say, the law is aligned with the
• 35:13
  intergovernmental Financial action task force.
• 35:17
  We've heard them before, we've heard about them before.
• 35:19
  The law will create a new registry and guidelines for
• 35:22
  crypto exchanges and Traders. Classifying, most companies
• 35:25
  offering Services related to crypto Services as virtual a
• 35:29
  Asset service providers. Such vast will be responsible
• 35:32
  for reporting on the behaviors and activity of their users
• 35:35
  which could raise privacy and feasibility concerns for anyone
• 35:39
  working in Argentina's growing crypto economy.
• 35:41
  It's unclear how the local demand for cryptocurrencies is
• 35:44
  influencing the Argentina's government agenda.
• 35:47
  Or if the IMF or International bodies are the main Force
• 35:50
  driving National policy. I suspect they are after failing
• 35:55
  to meet the IMF requirements to refinance their debt
• 35:58
  accommodating the IMF Anti crypto stance is perhaps, one of
• 36:01
  the most immediate ways that Argentina could show foreign
• 36:04
  lenders Goodwill at the perverted proverbial negotiating
• 36:09
  table. But like what about the people
• 36:13
  of Argentina? It's a bailout for the
• 36:16
  government of Argentina. What about the people of
• 36:19
  Argentina? It's never talked about it said,
• 36:23
  it's like, it's if the government is like, representing
• 36:26
  the people, but the government is it took an action that is
• 36:30
  counterproductive to the people and the same thing happened in
• 36:34
  Nigeria where the, the government of Nigeria installed
• 36:39
  Capital controls to try to coerce people into Central Bank,
• 36:42
  digital currencies So, it looks like to me, right?
• 36:47
  And this is what we always say. Bitcoin expose a shines the
• 36:50
  light of Truth on incentives, right?
• 36:53
  And it really asked a very important question and I think
• 36:57
  this is a very important question that the u.s. is going
• 36:59
  to ask to as well. Write our governments really by
• 37:03
  the people for the people or government by the government or
• 37:08
  the government as long as we control the money and the money
• 37:11
  supply. It's a very very important
• 37:14
  question. Do you think governments are
• 37:16
  going to willy nilly, just give up their privilege of being able
• 37:21
  to create money out of thin air that everyone else has to work
• 37:24
  for? And this is what the separation
• 37:27
  of money and state is all about. This is why we're here and we
• 37:31
  must highlight these questions. Wait a second is this in my best
• 37:35
  interest are legal tender laws in my best interest.
• 37:39
  Why am I being forced to use a money that steals from me?
• 37:42
  Is that in my best interest? What do you Using with that
• 37:46
  Godlike power of being able to print money for free that
• 37:49
  everyone else has to work for Endless Wars.
• 37:51
  As is the case in the u.s. the u.s. defaulted in 1971.
• 37:56
  And the way that they evolved avoided, that default is, they
• 38:00
  took the u.s. off the gold standard.
• 38:03
  Everyone knows what happened, that everyone knows the very
• 38:06
  famous website and I suggest you visit it.
• 38:08
  If you haven't done so, what the f happened in 1971, the cost of
• 38:14
  housing. Unaffordable wages became
• 38:17
  stagnant. The cost of living went through
• 38:19
  the roof. The rich got richer.
• 38:21
  The people that had the print. The people that had the means to
• 38:25
  have their other wealth and assets.
• 38:27
  Got significantly wealthier while the rest of us the lower
• 38:31
  and middle classes. Specifically the younger
• 38:33
  Generations, if you're under the age of 35 you probably don't own
• 38:37
  anything. So is this system that they're
• 38:40
  fighting for? And they're saying oh this is
• 38:43
  for the greater good. Is this system really for the
• 38:47
  greater good or is this system really for them?
• 38:51
  And this is something by the way that Tucker said and we played
• 38:55
  you in a clip. I think it was yesterday.
• 38:57
  He said at the very end of his clip, he said look the media the
• 39:01
  Power structures 9 bouquet Lee wrote the article don't drink
• 39:05
  the elites Kool-Aid made it very clear.
• 39:08
  Are these systems all really for the benefit of everybody or are
• 39:13
  they for the people? Well, we're from the current
• 39:18
  system also known as the continuing are class, and of
• 39:22
  course, not to mention all the buzz words and all the
• 39:25
  propaganda and all the memes coming out of their version of
• 39:28
  the Bitcoin conference, the world economic Forum, they're
• 39:32
  telling you straight up, do nothing, be happy, eat your bugs
• 39:36
  and shut the fuck up, right? So yeah, man, this is this is
• 39:39
  crazy, this is the separation of money and state but I love
• 39:42
  Bitcoin because it continues to Those are lies,
• 39:46
  misrepresentations and spin and all our job is as individuals.
• 39:50
  Not only the ones of us that have platforms, not only the
• 39:54
  ones of us that have built up, Twitter followings, but it falls
• 39:58
  down to all of us. All of us individuals, if you
• 40:00
  can create a Twitter profile, if you can, if you have a camera,
• 40:04
  if you have a microphone, you are part of this get out there.
• 40:07
  Make your voice. Heard expose their Lies.
• 40:11
  We have the truth on our side Bitcoin.
• 40:15
  The is truth. So, take agency look at the
• 40:18
  people around. You look at your no coin, your
• 40:20
  friends, look at your family and get them on the Bitcoin
• 40:24
  standard, get them on the Bitcoin standard, the more
• 40:27
  people are in team orange. The more people that are taking
• 40:30
  Bitcoin into self custody, the more people take self custody.
• 40:36
  And if the vast majority of people are taking self custody,
• 40:39
  we win this thing and there's absolutely nothing they can do
• 40:43
  about it. But anyways, You are taking
• 40:45
  Bitcoin into self custody, don't put your generational wealth,
• 40:50
  your Bitcoin wallet seed phrase on paper, put it on steel, don't
• 40:56
  lose your generational wealth because you put it on paper,
• 41:00
  which is prone to water damage. Fire damage your dog could eat
• 41:04
  it. It, this is the bit plates,
• 41:06
  Domino, and it's made from highly corrosion-resistant, 316
• 41:10
  stainless steel offering marine grade stainless steel offering
• 41:13
  the ultimate protection. It's extremes of temperatures
• 41:16
  and you can use the promo code simply to get 10% off.
• 41:21
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper store, it on
• 41:25
  steel. Anyways Opti what are your
• 41:27
  thoughts on all this, bro? All this fucking Madness.
• 41:30
  Yeah, well first and foremost, it's very obvious that the world
• 41:34
  is asleep right now and they don't know how the world of
• 41:37
  money works and it's by Design obviously, as as we understand
• 41:41
  as someone that has woken up from the Fiat.
• 41:45
  And it really is as simple as we have two roads ahead of us a
• 41:49
  world of total control and the world of Freedom built on
• 41:52
  bitcoin. You can't convince me.
• 41:54
  Otherwise and the choice can be made for you.
• 41:56
  Or you can make the choice for yourself and opt-in into the
• 41:59
  Bitcoin system into the Bitcoin Network and Beyond the bright
• 42:03
  orange feature as we always talking about and I believe
• 42:05
  humans, if given the choice, if given the fair choice they will
• 42:08
  always choose Bitcoin and we have the real-time examples of
• 42:12
  Nigeria, you know, Argentina Elsa.
• 42:14
  Salvador and soon more to follow so this is not just a
• 42:18
  theoretical. I fundamentally believe that
• 42:20
  humans want to seek Freedom they just you know Hive minded in
• 42:24
  they're afraid to stick out from the pack or else they get pushed
• 42:28
  back into the pack but I do believe that if given the fair
• 42:31
  choice that humans will choose Freedom.
• 42:33
  So obviously if any country in the world right now needs
• 42:38
  Bitcoin, I think Argentina might be number one on that list, but
• 42:41
  of course, this is a global phenomenon and everyone in the
• 42:45
  World will either SUNY Bitcoin or rather does need Bitcoin.
• 42:49
  They just don't understand it yet.
• 42:51
  But we have a friend, a member of the simply Bitcoin team wine,
• 42:55
  who's currently in Argentina and he's been keeping us updated on
• 42:58
  how fast the currency is hyper inflating, and it just, it's
• 43:02
  absolutely insane. He's got wads of dollars a
• 43:05
  bessel's that he's using, and they just going up and up.
• 43:08
  And he keeps telling me that anyone that can leave is already
• 43:11
  leaving. But we do have in, in our
• 43:14
  scheduling a few argentinians on the ground that are going to
• 43:17
  come on and, and keep us updated on what is happening there and
• 43:21
  the amount of Bitcoin adoption. So we don't have to just trust
• 43:24
  the official sources will have some on the ground resources for
• 43:27
  you guys soon. So, just keep in touch.
• 43:29
  But again, guys, as bitcoiners you guys know what we know that
• 43:35
  you do not need to ask permission from a government
• 43:38
  official to use Bitcoin. You can adopt Bitcoin today.
• 43:41
  You can, you can, you know, choose to save in a That doesn't
• 43:45
  steal from you today. You don't need to ask someone
• 43:48
  permission. You don't need to wait till
• 43:49
  League or Tender. You can choose Freedom today,
• 43:51
  you can choose to protect your life's work today.
• 43:54
  You can choose to protect yourself and your family today
• 43:57
  opt out of this madness, saving Bitcoin, take Bitcoin into self
• 44:00
  custody, this is a simple as it has to be guys.
• 44:03
  Like we don't need a top down approach to this.
• 44:06
  All we really need is for every single one of us to just get a
• 44:09
  few more bitcoiners around us and having more people hold
• 44:13
  Bitcoin in, this is how we win. Getting Bitcoin in the hands of
• 44:15
  people, doesn't matter where you are on the globe, everyone needs
• 44:19
  Bitcoin and everyone will soon wake up to the Bitcoin message.
• 44:24
  It's only a matter of time because everyone's on the Fiat
• 44:26
  standard and we all know the inevitable end of all Fiat
• 44:29
  money. It's, what's happening in
• 44:30
  Argentina? Those 2010 2000.
• 44:34
  Alright. Anyways, rajotte, what's your
• 44:35
  take on this? And then we'll hit the culture.
• 44:39
  Your mutant my friend. At the end of the day, I think
• 44:44
  this is a good thing just because it exposes their
• 44:48
  incentives, right? I mean, the people who are
• 44:51
  people who are people who are taking advantage of the current
• 44:53
  system, I mean, they're they're taking advantage at the expense
• 44:56
  of everybody else, right? And then the people who are
• 44:59
  being taken advantage of if they're supporting the, the
• 45:02
  current system, the Legacy system.
• 45:05
  It's because they don't understand how Bitcoin works,
• 45:07
  right? So it's kind of a loop where the
• 45:09
  people in power. Don't want the people at the
• 45:11
  bottom, too. Or send, and the people at the
• 45:13
  bottom are listening to the people in power and they're
• 45:15
  getting screwed over constantly like a, it's just until you
• 45:20
  actually put in the time until you until you start, making your
• 45:24
  own decisions until you start reading between the lines,
• 45:27
  you're not going to change your perspective.
• 45:29
  Your future is going to stay exactly the same.
• 45:31
  Your bank accounts going to keep growing but the value that you
• 45:34
  can transfer it forms. What you've, what you can buy
• 45:37
  with it, I mean it'll keep on dropping, right?
• 45:39
  Yeah, exactly 11. 100%, this is why we're here, guys.
• 45:44
  We're going to win this thing. I know it.
• 45:46
  I know it in my heart. Anyways, everybody, let's get to
• 45:48

• 46:58
  what are we going to talk about today?
• 47:00
  My friend. All right, so, you know, I like
• 47:02
  to feature our guests in the culture and I went through as
• 47:06
  Reggie Rashad, sorry I went to Richard's Twitter and I found
• 47:10
  some awesome thread. And again guys, as we mentioned
• 47:13
  in the beginning, he is a CFA comes from the traditional
• 47:17
  Financial world. And this thread here which I'm
• 47:21
  basically going to have you just sum up.
• 47:23
  It's very interesting how people that are, you know, in the
• 47:26
  position in the job is to manage money.
• 47:30
  No one understands how money works, and it's very interesting
• 47:33
  that when you come to bitcoin it, not only revolutionizes your
• 47:36
  whole worldview, but then you get back to the basics.
• 47:39
  And you ask the simple question, what is my Money.
• 47:42
  Anyways, Rashad, tell us a little bit coin, story your
• 47:45
  journey and we'll jump into some of these other tweets that I got
• 47:48
  here. You're muted, bro.
• 47:54
  In in 2021, when the pandemic that hit the lockdowns happened.
• 47:59
  I had a lot more time to just spend learning taking the time
• 48:05
  to understand what's going on around me.
• 48:09
  I I noticed that over time prices of things are just
• 48:12
  constantly going up. I mean it's not like we're
• 48:14
  really getting raises to match those.
• 48:16
  I mean the the raises that I was getting were around three to
• 48:19
  five percent when the real cost of goods was increasing If you
• 48:23
  anymore. So in 2020, I think I might have
• 48:26
  listened to the Bitcoin standard, the audiobook for
• 48:30
  that. The book it was editing, it just
• 48:33
  completely changed how I thought about the history of money.
• 48:37
  How gold why gold is even valuable.
• 48:40
  I do most people still don't know why gold is valuable.
• 48:43
  They think it's valuable because it scares it's not it's because
• 48:47
  there's a cost to mining it and that's what gives Bitcoin or
• 48:52
  side. That's why.
• 48:53
  Gives gold value. I mean right now Bitcoin has
• 48:55
  that same value mining. It has a cost more people want
• 48:59
  to mine it so there are the cost is constantly going up and
• 49:04
  because of that. This is because the supply is
• 49:08
  constantly decreasing, the demand that's exponentially.
• 49:12
  Increasing will. Obviously increase the price
• 49:14
  over time. The number goes up.
• 49:16
  I think that was something that really got me.
• 49:17
  The number goes up technology over time.
• 49:20
  I started learning about why, why Bitcoin is the the money
• 49:26
  that most people will choose over the long term, right now, a
• 49:29
  lot of Institutions, a lot of institutional investors, don't
• 49:32
  understand how Bitcoin works. So I mean, this is, this is the
• 49:34
  first way the first time That the regular average, every
• 49:39
  average citizen everyday person, can actually front run the
• 49:44
  institutions and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
• 49:49
  And most people are missing out on it and they're waiting for
• 49:51
  institutions to guide them to take the lead.
• 49:55
  But I mean that's something that I didn't want to do.
• 49:57
  I use my time to actually learn. I actually looked listen to a
• 50:01
  lot of your podcast. I listen to them every single
• 50:03
  day. I mean it opens your Devon what
• 50:07
  money really is, what it's a way to transfer value.
• 50:11
  It's really nothing else. It doesn't have to be physical,
• 50:13
  it doesn't have to be tangible. As long as more as long as
• 50:18
  people believe that something is money, it will be money.
• 50:20
  And Bitcoin is the first form of digital scarcity and a lot of
• 50:24
  people are finally understanding that.
• 50:26
  Absolutely, love it. If you do recommend Bitcoin, how
• 50:30
  has it been received by your peers and your customers?
• 50:34
  Oh, they hate it. I I still, I still, I still
• 50:38
  throw it out there. I don't really care.
• 50:40
  I think in the next 10-15 years, the people who are hating on the
• 50:45
  post that I make. I'm okay with it, right?
• 50:47
  Right? Because it challenges their
• 50:49
  beliefs and when your beliefs are challenged you're always
• 50:52
  going to be pushing back, right? So I mean might the comments on
• 50:56
  a lot of my post there. They're telling me that I'm a
• 50:58
  sellout, but at the end of the day, the people who aren't
• 51:01
  putting in the research are the ones that are That's right, so
• 51:04
  they're not they're not making a knowledgeable decision, they're
• 51:07
  not making a logical decision. They're going based on the fact
• 51:11
  that the US dollar will always be money and that will never
• 51:15
  change. So I think a lot of the people
• 51:17
  who are making money from the Legacy system, they're making
• 51:19
  money, and they're okay with it, they're happy with it.
• 51:21
  But they don't realize that there's billions of other people
• 51:24
  who have no bank accounts who are constantly living in poverty
• 51:28
  because the money that they're using is just losing value day
• 51:32
  in Day Out. Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
• 51:35
  I do have some more tweets over here that I think are very good
• 51:39
  and it's stuff that we say all the time on the show so I can
• 51:43
  tell that you're definitely listen, you got a lot Warren
• 51:45
  Buffett Bitcoin has no value Hillary Clinton.
• 51:47
  Bitcoin has the potential for undermining currencies for
• 51:50
  undermining the role of the dollar as the reserve currency
• 51:53
  for destabilizing Nations. Perhaps starting with small ones
• 51:56
  but going much larger and I love the pain, you put here how can
• 51:59
  something with no value undermine the dollar something
• 52:02
  that apparently has value and Stabilize Nations and we kind of
• 52:05
  talked about this off. Are you were saying the same
• 52:08
  thing. How thing it doesn't have to be
• 52:10
  tangible for people to accept it and for people to see the value
• 52:15
  in Bitcoin. So have you always been this
• 52:17
  radical Sorry, sorry wasn't always been this radical or did
• 52:23
  Bitcoin, you know, explode your whole worldview know, Bitcoin
• 52:27
  changed everything, man. I think I think before Bitcoin I
• 52:30
  really did think that money has to be tangible.
• 52:32
  I used to be the one that the type of person who would save a
• 52:36
  little bit of cash at home, just in case for emergencies, my mom
• 52:39
  used to always have just money in at home, just cash.
• 52:43
  And I want to tell her oh this money is constantly losing
• 52:47
  value. But, I mean, most people You
• 52:49
  aren't going to understand that because they don't mean
• 52:52
  financial literacy isn't taught in schools, right?
• 52:54
  That's my personal goal. I want to start with teaching
• 52:57
  people, how to save money, how to increase their income, how to
• 53:01
  decrease expenses and then move over to the Bitcoin side of
• 53:04
  things. The I think I don't, I wouldn't
• 53:06
  even say that this view is radical, I think it's just
• 53:09
  logic, right? I mean, why are they scared of
• 53:12
  something that has no value at the end of the day?
• 53:15
  I mean, if you're thinking about it that way, you're realizing
• 53:17
  that There's a lot of lies out there and if you fall for all of
• 53:23
  them, I mean you're just putting yourself behind, right?
• 53:26
  You're falling for their crap. 100%.
• 53:28
  Can agree more. We do have a good question here
• 53:31
  and I kind of asked as well but just to be clear.
• 53:36
  Roman ask is it frowned upon by the certificate option.
• 53:38
  Folks, so your peers, the the people that go to these schools
• 53:44
  that, you know, spend their time learning that a traditional
• 53:46
  Financial world? What are they telling you about?
• 53:48
  Bitcoin. Ice.
• 53:50
  I think that I think people in, I think the cfa's, the people
• 53:55
  who have actually gone through the, the actual education.
• 53:58
  They understand why Bitcoin is valuable, right.
• 54:02
  I think they understand that you need to put a lot.
• 54:05
  You need to be logical when you're making these investment
• 54:07
  decisions. A lot of the there's there's for
• 54:11
  some reason, there are a lot of people who are financial
• 54:14
  advisors, who haven't done the research, but they're telling
• 54:18
  people not to buy Bitcoin because Bitcoin is Speculative
• 54:21
  at this point. I don't think it is any more.
• 54:24
  And I even this the CFA Institute, I mean, they're,
• 54:27
  they're introducing blockchain, right?
• 54:29
  That it's not like they're ignoring it.
• 54:31
  When, when companies, like when companies, when women the CFA
• 54:35
  Institute is a Company, the company knows where the world is
• 54:38
  going their part of the finance industry.
• 54:41
  So if they're the ones that are talking about blockchain, if the
• 54:45
  new tech, if the new curriculum includes blockchain technology
• 54:49
  then, I don't get how people who know anything about the CFA are
• 54:54
  arguing against blockchain and Bitcoin.
• 54:57
  Yeah, I mean, it's kind of something that big Corners
• 55:00
  always say, is anyone, are anyone that really has done the
• 55:05
  research? And at one time was a Bitcoin
• 55:08
  skeptic after going through the research, everyone gets
• 55:11
  transformed into a Bitcoin believer.
• 55:13
  I've seen this happen over and over and over again and a lot of
• 55:17
  us basically come to bitcoin with the idea of Trying to
• 55:20
  debunk it and then we just become Ardent bitcoiners.
• 55:23
  Anyways, this one might be a little contested in the chat but
• 55:28
  I think I fundamentally agree with your ideas here and you go
• 55:30
  if you invest in global stocks Global real estate and Bitcoin,
• 55:33
  I think there's a strong chance. Your portfolio will perform well
• 55:36
  over the next 30 to 40 years. Even if the US dollar failed, we
• 55:40
  will always need businesses to create products houses to live
• 55:43
  in and money to transact with. Can you unpack this a little bit
• 55:46
  for the people out there? So I think a lot of people they
• 55:50
  think that stocks aren't the way to invest.
• 55:53
  I don't agree with that just because we're always going to
• 55:56
  have like let's say for example, Apple we're always going to
• 55:58
  have. We're always going to use a
• 55:59
  phone. I mean Apple might be phased out
• 56:01
  but eventually with the S&P 500 let's say you're buying the top
• 56:05
  500 companies in the US. A lot of those companies have
• 56:08
  Global relationship. So Apple for example they had I
• 56:12
  believe they're opening up a factory to create Parts in
• 56:16
  India. Have I believe they have another
• 56:20
  one at Hong Kong there, working all around, are all around the
• 56:24
  world to build these relationships.
• 56:26
  I think, owning those companies that are actually innovating.
• 56:29
  Maybe Apple isn't innovating anymore.
• 56:31
  I mean, that's, that's an opinion.
• 56:33
  But owning companies that are providing products that we need.
• 56:39
  Those companies are going to eventually end, they're going to
• 56:41
  do well right? I mean at the end of the day,
• 56:44
  those companies are basically having having those having
• 56:48
  shares of those companies. Having ownership in, those
• 56:50
  companies is giving you cash flow while holding US dollars.
• 56:54
  Is guaranteeing a loss over time while?
• 56:56
  I mean it it's kind of it's just a way to opt out of the u.s.
• 57:01
  dollar. I think any any any investment
• 57:03
  stocks real estate not Bonds. Bonds are directly giving you
• 57:07
  exposure to the US Fleur but stocks real estate in Bitcoin.
• 57:11
  I think all of those because of the scarcity aspect are going to
• 57:15
  outperform regardless of what happens.
• 57:17
  I think Bitcoin will probably outperform all of the real
• 57:20
  estate and and stock Investments.
• 57:22
  But I think all three will do well over the long-term just
• 57:26
  because they are actual inflation Hedges, right?
• 57:29
  Because of the scarcity, yeah, I'd agree that any any company
• 57:34
  that can have SATs flowing in that can be profitable on.
• 57:39
  Bitcoin standard, you know, I think, I think it's little be a
• 57:43
  little time, a little, a little delay before we know which ones
• 57:46
  are going to be able to make that transition.
• 57:49
  But there will be companies in the future guys.
• 57:51
  Anyways, this last tweet I have here in the sake of keeping this
• 57:56
  little brief. What would you say to people out
• 57:58
  there that maybe have a CFA that doesn't recommend Bitcoin?
• 58:04
  Because what we really try to do here is get Bitcoin into the
• 58:07
  average person's hands, just You know, entertain them but also
• 58:10
  give them the message and I really like the beginning of
• 58:12
  this tweet, you said eventually it will be next to impossible
• 58:15
  for the average person to own an entire Bitcoin, anyone who
• 58:18
  doesn't pay attention. Now we'll be fighting for scraps
• 58:20
  later. Just like any other monetary
• 58:22
  asset in the past and this is something that I believe as
• 58:25
  well. And this is something that I try
• 58:26
  to get across to everyone that will listen, we have the
• 58:29
  opportunity of a lifetime right now to stack Bitcoin, and most
• 58:32
  people are going to fight you when you're trying to give them
• 58:36
  the keys to their cage. So what would you say to the
• 58:38
  average? Person.
• 58:39
  What is your Bitcoin pitch to people that will listen to your
• 58:43
  advice? Honestly, I don't care if they
• 58:46
  buy, they don't have to buy if they don't want to just do the
• 58:50
  research. Take the take the time to learn
• 58:52
  about how Bitcoin Works. Don't don't just assume because
• 58:56
  you saw Jamie dimon, say that Bitcoin is a pet rock.
• 58:59
  Don't just assume that it is. These people aren't trying to
• 59:02
  help you. They're trying to make money,
• 59:04
  right? I mean, Bankers, I used to work
• 59:06
  at a bank. I used to, I know exactly where
• 59:10
  I know exactly how Banks make their money and their main way
• 59:14
  of Gee money. Let's say, for example, I worked
• 59:16
  on the bond desk at one of the Canadian Banks, the fees that
• 59:21
  people paid were more than the returns that they were getting.
• 59:24
  So the money that you expect to be increasing in value, over
• 59:30
  time, it's actually going into these Bankers pocket.
• 59:32
  So, I mean, just do the research.
• 59:34
  I don't, it doesn't matter if you buy or not, if you want go
• 59:37
  and buy a dollars worth, maybe it'll get some skin in the game.
• 59:40
  It'll get you to start doing research but at the end of the
• 59:43
  day, it's all about knowledge. It's about King better decisions
• 59:46
  when you're just ignoring a whole asset class you're missing
• 59:49
  out for the Future II. Don't know many Millennials.
• 59:53
  Many Gen X or Sarge NZ that own gold right?
• 59:56
  They own Bitcoin do. So there's a reason for that and
• 1:00:00
  people assume that these younger generations of stupid but maybe
• 1:00:04
  there's something you're missing out on.
• 1:00:06
  You know what I mean? 100% couldn't agree.
• 1:00:09
  Anyways, rajotte, really, really appreciate it.
• 1:00:12

  chat saying don't you guys know we are in World War 3.
• 1:02:47
  What do I say every single day we are in an information War.
• 1:02:50
  Each of the bullets mean to the you're terribly artillery guys,
• 1:02:54
  it has never been more important in my opinion, to spread the
• 1:02:56
  Bitcoin signal than it is today. I look around outside and it's
• 1:03:00
  never been more obvious, why we need Bitcoin?
• 1:03:03
  We are seeing everywhere in real time.

  The reasons why we need Bitcoin and the way to protect
• 1:03:09
  yourselves and your family is to save and Bitcoin as the saying,
• 1:03:13
  goes only put as much Fiat in Bitcoin as you don't want to
