- 0:51something very interesting because I hear this all the time
- 0:54and I wanted to cover it today. I'm too late to bitcoin, right?
- 0:58You look back on bitcoin. Like holy crap.
- 1:01You know this thing was Pennies on the dollar.
- 1:04This thing was a dollar. This thing was $100, maybe I'm
- 1:07too late. What's going on?
- 1:09So we're going to talk about that today.
- 1:11And we're also going to talk about a little bit about because
- 1:15I think it's very hard to zoom out.
- 1:16I think it's very hard to get a perspective of where you are,
- 1:21sometimes. Right Bitcoin has been
- 1:24functioning like a stable coin literally for the past like,
- 1:28three weeks. It's basically had 23k, right?
- 1:33And think it's making everyone nervous was like oh is it going
- 1:35to go down below and you can wear up a little bit weird?
- 1:37Yeah. For right.
- 1:37We're at 24, right because of the inflation data, we're going
- 1:40to talk about that today. So anyways, we got a hell of a
- 1:43show lined up for you guys. It's going to be very special,
- 1:46anyways, Opti, it's time. I think it's time to start the
- 1:49show. Here we go.
- 1:53I'm for the time brought to you by not only make some of the
- 1:56best Bitcoin notes like the not a one, the one I'm holding in my
- 1:59hand, run your own version of Bitcoin core.
- 2:01The lightning Network, whirlpool, and Dojo all from the
- 2:04comfort of your own home member. Guys, if you don't run your own
- 2:08node like Donato, you're using someone else's.
- 2:10And now, if you are a digital Nomad, you have no excuse
- 2:14because the novel guys, just release, not all Cloud.
- 2:17Run a noddle through a virtual private server.
- 2:20Visit noddle dot EU Yeah. Memory guys, if you don't run
- 2:25your own node, you're using someone else's anyways.
- 2:28At the time of this recording the Bitcoin price is at 24,000
- 2:31$50 SATs / dollars at 4,150. 8 block height, 740 1863,
- 2:39reachable Bitcoin nodes. 15,000 want that number to keep going
- 2:43up, blocks to The Happening. 90 1137 having estimate April, 20
- 2:49at 20 24, total lightning network capacity.
- 2:53Acity 1268 Bitcoin, the Fiat, caca Valley of that is around
- 2:59Thirty point, five million USD hash rate.
- 3:02Last, 90 days, 208, EXA hashes, annual mining Revenue.
- 3:07Fourteen point two billion dollars realize money monetary
- 3:12inflation. Whoo, I added something new.
- 3:14That's right, that's right. What is the inflation rate of
- 3:17Bitcoin? There it tells you right there.
- 3:19One point seven, nine percent that inflation rate will be cut
- 3:22in half. During the happening in Africa,
- 3:25compare that to the inflation rate of Fiat US dollar right
- 3:28now, is that 8.5% or 8.7%? And Bitcoins is guaranteed to
- 3:35get cut in half every four years.
- 3:37You guys decide who wins this race.
- 3:39Anyways, all coins issued August 2nd 2137 also, they come up with
- 3:47some new technologies or something.
- 3:49We'll all most likely be dead by that date so yeah, holy crap,
- 3:55you know, Bitcoin is more predictable than anything that
- 4:00has come before it anyways. Check this out and told you guys
- 4:04you're too if you're too late to bitcoin and sometimes it's
- 4:08useful to zoom out, right? You're like look and I got my
- 4:11stack, holy crap, you know, this is nothing, like, look at all
- 4:15those. Oh, jeez logos people with all
- 4:17that Bitcoin. This is why it's good to go over
- 4:20some of this stuff and I actually have a video for you
- 4:22guys as well. Anyways, check it out Pete.
- 4:25Russo here are the details bought 9000 Bitcoin on one of
- 4:29the exchanges over time transfer them to My client running on a
- 4:33Linux Live CD, distro of deviant, backed up the wallet
- 4:37file to a flashdrive sent one Bitcoin to myself.
- 4:39Close client before any confirmations shutdown system
- 4:43loaded system backup. Copied old wallet.dat file after
- 4:48some confirmations appeared. The balance was one Bitcoin.
- 4:52There was a transaction saying I spent 8900 Bitcoin to an
- 4:56address. I did not recognize I read on
- 4:58the Forum threads that people have had problems like this.
- 5:02But it seemed only when they were trying to double spend by
- 5:05sending coins to another address and reloading old wallet file.
- 5:09Is there anything I could do? I do have the address that the
- 5:128900 were supposedly sent to but the old wallet file is gone for
- 5:17good, ladies and gentlemen, that is worth 200 million dollars
- 5:23today. That simple mistake.
- 5:25And again at that time that was August 10th 2020.
- 5:29I mean, sorry 2010. That 9,000 Bitcoin was it worth
- 5:34a lot, right? So again when in doubt, zoom out
- 5:37anyways, moving on. This is Bitcoin.
- 5:40Obituaries on 99 Bitcoins.com. The Bitcoin has died 461 times,
- 5:45right? Let's check.
- 5:47Take a look at this is by the underground Economist the name
- 5:52of the article says, why Bitcoin can't be a currency.
- 5:56It was a twenty three cents when they wrote that article.
- 6:01And on this is documenting Bitcoin no one thought Bitcoin
- 6:04would work. That is why it works.
- 6:06Bitcoin is a Grassroots Network that was able to grow slowly and
- 6:09carefully over time. It took over a decade to
- 6:12engineer the secure system. We know today and take a look at
- 6:16these Traders, right? This was August 10 2011, I will
- 6:20be overjoyed if it at least goes to $20 again, I think the price
- 6:25will tend up. I've read that right guys, as
- 6:28opposed from August, 2011, literally saying, Thing.
- 6:31I will be overjoyed if Bitcoin goes at least 220 dollars, I
- 6:35just read you the price. We're at 24,000 at the time of
- 6:40recording. I think the price will tend to
- 6:43Trend up as the market has not yet priced.
- 6:45In this event, the Free Press will bring in new people and
- 6:48cash causing more of a demand. I'm definitely not selling my
- 6:52mind coins at the moment because of the potential of the event,
- 6:56this is very, very little downside to holding versus
- 6:59selling right at this moment, I'm Pete to sell above 15 and
- 7:04the next couple of weekends that ladies and gentlemen is why you
- 7:09shouldn't trade. Now I'm going to play this video
- 7:11which is really interesting. It was posted by shout out to
- 7:14you brother. Shire hottel says footage of
- 7:17when the PC was declared dead, right?
- 7:20So not only did they declare Bitcoin, Dad, they also declared
- 7:25the personal computer debt, right?
- 7:27So again, moments like these and tweets, like these and
- 7:30screenshots. Like these give you a
- 7:32perspective, it gives you like holy crap.
- 7:35I just need a Jato. I just need a Bonk.
- 7:37Bonk er down and hotle. Anyways let's check out the
- 7:42video. Pewter, sales classroom,
- 7:46computer sales, seems to seem to have peaked and now I've hit a
- 7:48flat period and some say they're going to do anything.
- 7:51So. Oh yes, they've hit a flat
- 7:52period would what should that tell us?
- 7:54I really don't believe that they've had a flat period.
- 7:56The the computer Market is has been and is rising at about
- 7:59thirty percent per year. And nowhere, has there been a
- 8:02flat period is not rising at nearly the rate?
- 8:04It was going? Yes, it is.
- 8:06We disagree. We're looking at two to we're
- 8:07looking at two different. We're looking at two different
- 8:09sets of numbers. My question to you is is the
- 8:11home computer destined to become the CB of the Use the hula hoop
- 8:15of the. I'm glad you brought this
- 8:16analogy because, like, I see B, it won't be very useful in its
- 8:20present form, which is just talking to yourself, and to your
- 8:22computer. But like I said, be when it
- 8:24starts talking to other computers throughout the whole
- 8:27country when we have several million machines interconnected
- 8:30and people can talk to each other and can exchange views and
- 8:34can do can transact can buy and sell information can buy and
- 8:37sell informational Services labor.
- 8:39I think it's going to be a very interesting period or will have
- 8:42an information Marketplace. It's a new way of life.
- 8:45I cracked disagree. I think I get him angry.
- 8:48Yeah, I think I think that that the home computer is going to
- 8:53suffer the same Fate by and large as they do home movie
- 8:56camera. People had the idea and still
- 9:00have the idea that if they, if I have a very expensive, a very
- 9:02good home movie camera, then they can make very good movies.
- 9:05The probably a good movie maker first, that's why the trouble
- 9:08is. You have to have an idea, okay?
- 9:10And people forget that similarly to write good and interesting
- 9:12programs on the computer one has to have a Dear ideas are hard to
- 9:16come by Professor Eisenberg. Um, Professor ditches of thank
- 9:18you. So what is the moral of the
- 9:21story? One of the stories.
- 9:27If you don't learn from the past or distance, to repeat it,
- 9:30right? That guy wasn't talked about
- 9:32Bitcoin that guy was talking about bit computers, right?
- 9:37Peter Schiff has a very similar sentiment, right?
- 9:43Roubini had a very similar sentiment as well, right?
- 9:47And all the other, big coin detractors that we know so well
- 9:50on Twitter, but over time would it becomes very apparent?
- 9:54Is that all these people are just catastrophically wrong.
- 10:00So yeah man, when in doubt zoom out when I know that the
- 10:04day-to-day might seem overbearing to a lot of you but
- 10:10this is just the beginning. Bitcoins only been around for 13
- 10:15years, 13, 12, 13, 14 years. And the reason I showed you that
- 10:23stack that stand in the beginning, by Clark Moody
- 10:25dashboard is look, hospit coins still isn't even going to be
- 10:29mine. The block subsidy does still
- 10:31doesn't run out until 2132. I think Humanity doesn't
- 10:37understand and fully appreciate what the consequences of some of
- 10:42a currency that has absolute Be like Bitcoin.
- 10:46But so far for its existence, you were really I read you those
- 10:51those posts. I went from ten dollars and went
- 10:54from under a dollar to 24,000 dollars.
- 10:58Even if Bitcoin does 25% of that, that is still life
- 11:04changing that is a life-changing opportunity in front of you.
- 11:08All you have to do is stack earn mine and hottel.
- 11:13Don't try to trade, stay humble, and That's anyways Abdi.
- 11:17What's up brother? Well I really love that video
- 11:21Mikko because Don't computers are so dead right now.
- 11:26Like I imagine what we'd be doing right now you know,
- 11:30because we have a home computer. It's so dead.
- 11:34Imagine that but just to your point like personally I still
- 11:39feel like I'm so early to bitcoin it, blows my mind.
- 11:42Not only is the Bitcoin market cap out like what under half a
- 11:46trillion dollars right now. But furthermore like if you go
- 11:49out in public and you you talk to people about Bitcoin usually
- 11:54their Impression is like Bitcoin, like what is bitcoin?
- 11:57That's a scam or like Bitcoins not real.
- 11:59Anything like, what are you talking about?
- 12:01So, we'll just look around you guys, go talk to people in the
- 12:04streets and try to get them to talk about Bitcoin and they're
- 12:07going to look at you crazy. And if this isn't a sign of us
- 12:10being early to bitcoin, I don't know what else is.
- 12:12Because as far as we all know, Bitcoin is the best way to store
- 12:18your value, to save your wealth to make sure that you're here,
- 12:22you know, you're Wealth isn't debased by Fiat currencies and,
- 12:27and even further more, like, people don't even know what Fiat
- 12:31means like, is this not more proof that we are early to this
- 12:34stuff, guys? If it blows my mind that people
- 12:37still believe that we are late to this because you know,
- 12:40Bitcoins at 20K or whatever and it's like guys, zoom out.
- 12:44We are so early. It's incredible.
- 12:46And furthermore I absolutely love the Bitcoin obituaries
- 12:49because it makes our point for us is like, look at all these
- 12:53people, quote, on quote, Authorities telling you that
- 12:56Bitcoin is dead and Bitcoin is just continuing to go up in
- 13:00price. And then furthermore, I saw I
- 13:04did a quote tweet on on the simply Bitcoin Twitter account
- 13:07yesterday and it was a quote by King pleb himself.
- 13:11Mr. Hot oil and it said five billion people on the internet
- 13:15and only 21 million Bitcoins. And you're still bearish guys.
- 13:19Like that was my tweet. You're still bearish on bitcoin
- 13:23when like It's an incredibly small number of people that are
- 13:28that are holding Bitcoin that are saving Bitcoin that are out
- 13:30there like you being toxic Bitcoin maximalist spreading the
- 13:33sound. When he gospel.
- 13:35We're so early. It's absolutely insane.
- 13:37I think it's just human psychology where you're so close
- 13:40to this that you can't zoom out and you just, you, you lose the
- 13:44forest for the trees. But guys, we're so early and I
- 13:48know people make fun of us because we're always saying we
- 13:51are early, but it's very obvious that we are Like Nico said,
- 13:55we're 13 years into this monetary experiment and if
- 13:58Bitcoin does what it does, if the monetary policy stays
- 14:01strong, we still have 100 years ago before.
- 14:03There's the last Bitcoin to be fully distributed.
- 14:07Like we're so early and I fundamentally believe like
- 14:10Bitcoins going to be around for thousands of years.
- 14:12So what 13 years? Thousands like we're so early.
- 14:15It's incredible dude, we are. We're absolutely so early.
- 14:19I agree with that. And one last thing, righto
- 14:23shutout, mr. Robot.
- 14:24And The audience. Whoop, Becca, whoop.
- 14:28Whoop, Hammer saw John. Thank you guys all for coming,
- 14:32Loco, dgeni, shout out to you, brother, for being the first, in
- 14:36the chat, we saw that we saw that, but I'm going to push back
- 14:40a little bit on the computer comment that you made.
- 14:42So what they miscalculated, right?
- 14:45Because it's very hard to think about future Innovation, right?
- 14:50They and the way that they see Bitcoin today is like holy At
- 14:54Bitcoin can't scale Bitcoin. Can't do this Bitcoin can't do
- 14:57that what they're missing right? Is that they're under
- 15:00estimating, people's ability to innovate, the home computer or
- 15:04the computer. Did take over the world.
- 15:06Everybody has a computer but it's not the computer that was
- 15:09in the 90s. It's looks like this.
- 15:11This is the this is your little personal computer and it's
- 15:14designed for humans to use with fingers and stuff but that is
- 15:18the computer. It just innovated to that.
- 15:20How is Bitcoin going to be in 20 years?
- 15:23Of course the base. Sir isn't going to change it
- 15:25stays the way, it does, right? Or very minor changes.
- 15:28But what's going to be built on top of it?
- 15:31What the possibilities are with? The lightning network is
- 15:34something that we can't even imagine today, but it's never
- 15:38made me. So bullish about the future.
- 15:40We're not early. We are just getting started at
- 15:44the end of the day. We are at what trying to free
- 15:46the world from government money. Separating money from State.
- 15:49What dude? Never been so excited.
- 15:53Anyways Opti let's To the news. D.
- 15:57It's time for the Daily News. Brought to you by crypto
- 16:01cloaks.com they make some of the best 3D printed Bitcoin merch.

- 16:19European store is now open, check out crypto, cloaks.com
- 16:23today, boom. All right, so let's see.
- 16:27Numbers came out today, let's talk about that shall we?
- 16:31You know it's inflation decelerates more than forecast
- 16:35on gas price. Drops let's break down.
- 16:36This article US inflation decelerate in July by more than
- 16:40expected reflecting lower energy prices, which may take some
- 16:44pressure off the Federal Reserve to continue aggressive hiking.
- 16:48Interest rates, the Consumer Price increased eight point five
- 16:51percent from a year earlier cooling from the 9.1% June
- 16:55advance. That was the largest and four
- 16:57decades Labor Department data, showed Wednesday, prices were
- 17:01unchanged from the prior month. A decline in gasoline offset
- 17:05increase increases in food and shelter costs, so-called core
- 17:09CPI, which strips out, the more volatile food and energy
- 17:12components Rose 0.3%. Sorry, someone came in but okay,
- 17:22this is talked about this a little bit, right?
- 17:26Here's the thing, right? And here is a picture from
- 17:30Wikipedia, right? This is the I'm not saying this
- 17:35is going to happen, but this is basically the picture of the
- 17:39representation of how hyperinflation happened in
- 17:43Weimar Germany, right? This is 1918 and it took more
- 17:47than five years for it to happen.
- 17:49But what I want you guys to focus on of course is in a very
- 17:52detailed graph, but it still makes my point is that it wasn't
- 17:55in a straight line. Right there was Peaks, there was
- 17:58valleys, right? There's a peak is a valley is a
- 18:01peaked as the valley. There's little tiny Peaks and
- 18:03valleys here. Peak Valley Peak value.
- 18:06Even when it was starting Peak Valley.
- 18:08I'm sure. Every single time those Peak
- 18:10valleys hit, be the equivalent of these articles came out back
- 18:14in the day, right? So, let's tape.
- 18:18But if you actually look at the data a little bit more, right?
- 18:21It kind of tells a different story.
- 18:22So called CP, so-called core CPI.
- 18:26Which strips out the more volatile food and energy
- 18:29components, Rose Point, three percent from June and 5.9
- 18:33percent from a year ago. So that the core CPI looks like
- 18:37it's still going up. Anyways, cost of living while a
- 18:40drop in gasoline prices is good news for Americans.
- 18:43Their cost of living being is still painfully high for any to
- 18:46load up on credit cards and raving a drain savings after
- 18:50data last week, showed still robust labor demand and firmer
- 18:54wage growth. A further decentralization
- 18:56Coloration and influence inflation could take some of the
- 19:00urgency off the FED to extend out sighs interest rate hikes
- 19:03food costs. However climbed 10.9 percent
- 19:07from a year ago. The most since 1979 used car
- 19:12prices decree so food prices, holy crap, 10% and that's 10%
- 19:17with their metric. Anyways shelter costs, which are
- 19:21the biggest Services component and make up about a third of the
- 19:25overall CPI. II index Rose 0.5 percent from
- 19:28June and 5.7 from last year the most since 1991 that reflected a
- 19:34point seven jump in rent of primary of primary residence.
- 19:39So What does all this mean? He's like, yeah, inflation when
- 19:43a little bit down, right? And maybe, maybe it's going to
- 19:47come down, but here's the thing, right?
- 19:50But if you don't learn from the past, you're destined to repeat
- 19:52it. Look how many times inflation
- 19:55came down, in the five years of the whole hyperinflation thing
- 19:58that happened in Weimar Germany, which led the German people to
- 20:02elect, one of the worst Fascist governments in human history
- 20:07that led to the murder of millions of people.
- 20:10Inflation, hyperinflation is not a good thing, people become
- 20:13desperate. Anyways, check this out.
- 20:17So the name of the episode today was, are you late to bitcoin?
- 20:23We should, we should talk about that, right?
- 20:26Let's say you're late to pick one.
- 20:27Let's let's let's play Devil's Advocate, right?
- 20:30You're not Bitcoin. Is it going to grow as early as
- 20:33possible? You're not going to become a
- 20:34billionaire or whatever, but still it doesn't take away from
- 20:38the fact. That Bitcoin is the best savings
- 20:41technology there, ever was, even with this amount of inflation,
- 20:45right? And remember, guys, keep in mind
- 20:48just because inflation went from 9.1% 28.5 percent, that doesn't
- 20:54mean that prices went down. That means that the increase in
- 20:59pricing, slow down just a little bit.
- 21:02But those prices will never come back down, right?
- 21:06And that's something that a lot of people Miss as well, right?
- 21:08So, anyways, even With eight point five percent inflation,
- 21:13right? Even with Bitcoin being 70
- 21:16percent down from all time high, let's take a look at what
- 21:21happens when you save in Bitcoin.
- 21:23This is one of my favorite sites priced in Bitcoin.
- 21:26This is crude oil, right? Even with oil prices being at
- 21:29all-time highs If you were saving in Bitcoin, oil would be
- 21:3572 percent cheaper. If you waited five years,
- 21:38natural, gas would be 60% cheaper and looks like a natural
- 21:42gas pumped. Also gasoline gasoline would be
- 21:4672 percent cheaper. If you waited five years,
- 21:49propane would be 78 percent cheaper and what about housing?
- 21:52Because I know a lot of people are talking about that, right?
- 21:55So we should, let's check this out as well.
- 21:58Median, you house, 78%. A cheaper on a three-year scale
- 22:03even with housing prices increasing over 100 percent
- 22:06over. The last two years houses are
- 22:09still 34 percent cheaper. If you were saving a Bitcoin,
- 22:13what about a new car 41 percent cheaper?
- 22:16What about chicken breast thirty-eight percent cheaper?
- 22:19What about ground beef 41 percent cheaper?
- 22:22What about steak, 28 percent cheaper and it keeps going and
- 22:27going this way. We make the argument that
- 22:28Bitcoin is the best savings. Things technology that has ever
- 22:33existed in human history. And of course, it is.
- 22:37Also the most secure money that has ever existed.
- 22:41It's hard to confiscate, it can't be debased.
- 22:45And you want to know why Bitcoin is the best savings technology
- 22:48that ever existed. It's precisely, because it can't
- 22:51be debased by an institution or government how long until
- 22:58etherium so-called deflationary policy.
- 23:01Is because of political pressure.
- 23:03How long until that happens? Bitcoin is rolls without rulers
- 23:07Bitcoin successfully separated the monetary policy out of the
- 23:11hands of human beings because as long as it's in the hands of
- 23:14human beings, that means it can change it, it will change as
- 23:19long as there's a certain amount of political pressure.
- 23:24And if we look at history that happens time and time again.
- 23:28Anyways Opti, what are your thoughts, brother?
- 23:29I'll be right back. No worries.
- 23:31Yeah, well as I tweeted this morning, When I did the post,
- 23:37you know, I got to keep you guys updated and we got the numbers
- 23:41in this morning, July CPI at 8.5 percent and I just responded.
- 23:46Oh, wow, they figured out a way to manipulate CPI to look like
- 23:49inflation is receding, Color, Me surprised.
- 23:52It's if you know, if you've been around simply Bitcoin for a
- 23:56while, you know, very well that the CPI numbers, the inflation
- 24:00numbers are very easily manipulatable and I know you
- 24:04covered this in a news, but I will show Stuff in the fail.
- 24:07Hopefully if we got enough time because I think this is a fail
- 24:10as well but I want to make a point that that you said and
- 24:13I've been echoing the same thing a lot Nico.
- 24:15I really like the framing of saving and Bitcoin versus buy
- 24:19Bitcoin are investing in Bitcoin because I think it makes a
- 24:23better point for people that a lot of us here aren't here to
- 24:26just invest in Bitcoin, like we're not here to trade for Fiat
- 24:30gay and we're here to save our wealth in Bitcoin and it's the
- 24:33it just reminds me of the meme, you know, Bitcoin.
- 24:36Isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a don't get pour slowly
- 24:39scheme. And while a lot of people miss
- 24:41that, I think this is the message we need to tell people
- 24:44is like, look, the dollar is robbing you slowly and and there
- 24:48the numbers that they are using the manipulated numbers that
- 24:51they are using are still at 8.5%.
- 24:57It was at 9 percent last month and now it's an 8.5%.
- 25:00Remember, when they were telling you that the inflation was only
- 25:03going to be above 2%. Now they're happy.
- 25:06Did four times that like this is absolutely insane that these
- 25:10people are crazy. Hence, why we tell you guys save
- 25:12him Bitcoin, you know, just keep it simple, provide the value and
- 25:17Save in Bitcoin, go live your life because the dollar or Fiat
- 25:21currencies are stealing from you very slowly and this is why you
- 25:25feel the yolk tightening up and you are more nervous and more
- 25:31emotionally distraught in the rat race, like they are slowly
- 25:34stealing your time. I'm Bitcoin stops at this is why
- 25:38we Bitcoin. This is why we come here every
- 25:40single day to tell you guys to save him Bitcoin because I don't
- 25:43know about you. But this gets me pissed off and
- 25:46I can't believe people just go on their daily life.
- 25:50Like this is the status quo it, fundamentally.
- 25:53I just don't understand how people live like this, but hey,
- 25:56maybe where, you know, where the smart plebs overhear.
- 25:59Something just the average smart Bitcoin.
- 26:01ER, we know something, they don't know.
- 26:03But it really blows my mind that people Can miss the Nuance going
- 26:08on here and they just fall for the gaslighting hook like Hook
- 26:11Line and Sinker it, it's absolutely crazy taught.
- 26:14Clown World, confirmed Cloud World confirm.
- 26:17That's right. Anyways, moving on, moving on.
- 26:20So this is a little bit of a follow up from yesterday.
- 26:24Some news dropped after the fact Circle, freezes blacklisted
- 26:29tornado, Cash, Smart contracts. If you guys missed yesterday's
- 26:32episode, the US government first time in its history, Sanctions
- 26:36not a people not a government, but a certain software and we
- 26:41made the case yesterday, that was the Prelude to eventually
- 26:46perhaps sanctioning certain open source software that we're all
- 26:51using that. We're all big fans of that with
- 26:53this. This show is named after
- 26:56anyways, setting the tone setting the Precedence.
- 26:59Anyways, there's an article by coin Telegraph Circle.
- 27:01Freezes, blacklisted tornado, Cash, Smart contract, addresses.
- 27:05So, what are they talking about? Circle is basically the
- 27:08developer or the company behind you as DC u.s.
- 27:12DC, right? So and that is a stable coin and
- 27:15what we always say is that stable coins, provide a false
- 27:19sense of sovereignty. They can those addresses of
- 27:24those stable coin addresses. They can and will be frozen if
- 27:28there is political pressure against the developer.
- 27:32In this case, it was Circle, right?
- 27:34And if you compare that with And there is no institution, there
- 27:38is no Bitcoin, CO2. Pressure to free certain
- 27:41addresses which is why Bitcoin is called the money of enemies.
- 27:45Anyways, let's check it out. Crypto data, aggregator doing
- 27:49analytics said that on Monday sir Circle.
- 27:51The issuer of the USD USD, see, stable coin froze.
- 27:55Over seventy five thousand USD see worth of funds linked to the
- 27:5944 tornado cash, addresses sanctions by the US office of
- 28:03foreign assets control. And here's a picture of that
- 28:08Circle just fro. 75 thousand USD C.
- 28:10Belonging to unsuspecting tornado.
- 28:13Users as well as 149 usec donated to the project now
- 28:19something really interesting happened yesterday, right?
- 28:22Is it as soon as those addresses were sanctioned the so called
- 28:27crypto Community fought back, right?
- 28:30Someone is trolling celebs by sending eith from tornado cash
- 28:34and this is funny because Boeing Center article that we covered
- 28:37yesterday. Actually anticipated that this
- 28:40would happen and they said an American who has sent money
- 28:43through the tornado. Dot cache.
- 28:45Address is not even able to reject the transaction and yet
- 28:49maybe at the moment technically in violation of ofac rules and
- 28:55that's exactly what happened. Right, here we go an anonymous
- 29:00user, send a slew of tornado cash, transactions to
- 29:02high-profile etherium addresses on Tuesday and what appears to
- 29:06Be a troll. Implicating them in a potential
- 29:09regulatory mess, affected wallets include those controlled
- 29:13by coinbase. Co Armstrong, Brian Armstrong TV
- 29:16host, Jimmy Fallon clothing, brand puma and a wallet created
- 29:19for donations, to Ukraine, according to Ether, scan.
- 29:22And here's a picture of all his addresses being sent to all
- 29:26those public address to the belong to public figures.
- 29:30And again, why is this happening?
- 29:32Because they're trying to basically implement the The old
- 29:36system of inclusion on top of Bitcoin and it doesn't work.
- 29:42So are those people that got tornado etherium in trouble?
- 29:46Now, or, or tornado USD? See, are they in trouble?
- 29:50Are they Implement into input like implicated in a crime?
- 29:54What's going on there? And this leads me to believe
- 29:57that perhaps the treasury knew. This was the case that knew that
- 30:02this was going to happen and that would give them even more
- 30:05ammunition For further regulations down the road,
- 30:08basically making the case. Yo, you can't download certain
- 30:12Bitcoin, software Americans, can't download certain Bitcoin
- 30:15software because it doesn't allow the US government to
- 30:19implement their sanction policy of which their sample.
- 30:23Their sanction policy is only so effective because the u.s. is
- 30:26the global Reserve currency and not only to mention as well,
- 30:30right? Is that dude, look at the
- 30:33effects of those sanctions. The US has had sanctions on
- 30:36North Korea. The US sanctions on Venezuela,
- 30:38the US has sanctioned on Cuba. The US had sanctions against
- 30:42Afghanistan and none of those governments collapsed because of
- 30:46us sanctions policy. So who are the real victims of
- 30:49sanctions. It's the, it's the citizens of
- 30:52those countries that just want to get by.
- 30:55They have nothing to do with their governments, right?
- 30:59Look at the case in Afghanistan what happened when the US
- 31:01government shutdown, the Afghanistan's ability to
- 31:05communicate with the Financial system due to the u.s. army with
- 31:08drawing and you know, the Taliban taking over what
- 31:11happened. All the people in Afghanistan
- 31:15didn't have access to the Global Financial system.
- 31:18Is that their fault but you know what gave them access.
- 31:22You know, what's still worked in Afghanistan Bitcoin and I think
- 31:27it's there's going to be an inevitable clash between the old
- 31:30system and the new system. I think it's inevitable and I
- 31:36think that for us, basically, the way that you could protect
- 31:38yourself is by running your own node and taking Bitcoin into
- 31:41self custody. Anyways, Opti, what are your
- 31:43thoughts brother? Well, I might take a little
- 31:46different angle on here because I kind of applaud those shit
- 31:50Corners that were tainting. All those UT EXO's in those will
- 31:53address issues like that. That was pretty based, in my
- 31:55opinion, it reminded me of of a tweet that Giacomo Zuko put out
- 32:00and shouts out the Giacomo, he he's a toxic For father out
- 32:05there and I love his Twitter account and all the stuff he
- 32:08does. He's a legend in my eyes but he
- 32:11echoed the same thing are basically I am echoing what he
- 32:13said and he goes I despise shit coins, especially this one but
- 32:17this is a good practice. We bitcoiners should copy
- 32:19sending sat from join Market mixes to all known well
- 32:22addresses. I don't really believe in
- 32:25tainting ut EXO's because I believe that fundamentally
- 32:29someone will take those UT EXO's if they're incentivized enough
- 32:31for it. But I think this this would be a
- 32:34pretty cool practice to see people.
- 32:36Do you know at large? Because then it's like the
- 32:40powers-that-be wouldn't be able to try to do the same thing to
- 32:45bitcoiners or and furthermore, you know, if you understand you
- 32:49txo management, you can avoid all this.
- 32:51There's a lot of nuance here. But, you know, I think this is
- 32:54very interesting and I am very interested in and and, you know,
- 32:59a bit concerned to see how this this will play out.
- 33:02We said that yesterday like I don't know, I don't know how
- 33:05this will play out in the end, but it's pretty interesting to
- 33:09watch. And, of course, like kind of,
- 33:10you know, I, I know this, simply big, clean-out, and I don't want
- 33:13to give a shit Corners, a good, you know, pat on the back but
- 33:18like, yeah, shouts out to you guys for changing on those UT
- 33:21excels. I think that's pretty hilarious
- 33:23and awesome but I don't know. Anyways.
- 33:25Mica. Yeah, you keep going.
- 33:27Yeah, dude, we got a comment by John.
- 33:30I don't know if he was being sarcastic but it says starving
- 33:32questions will inspire them. To overthrow pooted.
- 33:35See North Korea. Yeah, that was what it was
- 33:37supposed to do on paper, but that that's never happened
- 33:39before. So, yeah, it's just again, it's
- 33:43like ideas being put to reality. And then rather than saying,
- 33:47okay this idea, maybe sucks, they double down on it, right?
- 33:50And that is literally the bureaucracy for you.
- 33:53Anyways, Opti should we do one more story?
- 33:58Yeah, man, why not? All right, let's do it.
- 34:01Alright, so, let's talk about the villain.
- 34:04A Bitcoin. Yes.
- 34:06Just he's real that's not a cartoon character.
- 34:09That is Augustine Parson or gustin's Carson's.
- 34:12He was the head of the Central Bank of Mexico and he is
- 34:16currently the head of the bank of international settlements.
- 34:20This is the guy that came out with that.
- 34:22Very Infamous video. Saying Central Bank, digital
- 34:25currencies will give Banks absolute control over their
- 34:29people, right? So yeah, this is the final boss
- 34:32of Bitcoin. This is him.
- 34:35This is the guy that you'll have nightmares about.
- 34:37Let me zoom in and he's very upset.
- 34:39You want to know why he's very upset?
- 34:43Because a Bitcoin anyways let's check it out.
- 34:45Here is this article by zero head zero.
- 34:48Hedges awesome says Australia Central Bank working with B is
- 34:52the Bank of international settlements to launched, digital
- 34:55currency system Australia's Reserve Bank is launching a
- 34:58pilot program over the course of the next year and collaborate in
- 35:02collaboration with the bank of international settlements to
- 35:05test the benefits of a blockchain ledger based digital
- 35:09current system. If a blockchain is not a public,
- 35:13Decentralized Ledger. There is absolutely no reason to
- 35:16use a blockchain. A blockchain is a very
- 35:18inefficient database. And for a central bank, digital
- 35:22currency which central banks are going to want to have absolute
- 35:25control of what they really need is a database, but of course,
- 35:29that doesn't sound good with marketing.
- 35:31Anyways, the central bank is added to a long list of
- 35:33participants in the Bank of international settlements
- 35:36efforts to introduce Central Bank.
- 35:38Digital currencies with the target goal of launching them.
- 35:43Ali by 2025, to 2030, that sucks for them because that gives
- 35:49Bitcoin a lot more time for Bitcoin to do its thing.
- 35:52And it's thing is number, go up baby, though, many people use
- 35:55electronic transactions as a matter of convenience a large
- 35:58portion of the population, still prefers cash, the usage of
- 36:02digital payment systems also does not necessarily denote a
- 36:05societal shift away from the idea of cash.
- 36:08It only shows a preference for convenience, people still like
- 36:11to know that cash exist. As an option, if they need it or
- 36:14want it, but central banks are working diligently to remove
- 36:18physical cash as a choice within the next eight years.
- 36:21Did you hear that? If people still want to use
- 36:24cash, why our Central Bank. So hell-bent on trying to remove
- 36:28it, what is going on here? With the Advent of widespread,
- 36:31Central Bank, digital currencies, the very notion of
- 36:33privacy and trade would utterly disappear from society within a
- 36:37generation, not only that. But if these currencies are tied
- 36:40into a social credit system, like the one used in communist
- 36:43China, then there's a good chance.
- 36:45Governments will be able to freeze accounts and even erase
- 36:48your savings at the push of a button and without physical
- 36:52cash. There would be no recourse for
- 36:54trade. Both coursers Bitcoin, a person,
- 36:57Dean problematic could be locked out of the economy on a whim.
- 37:01This is a wet dream for governments and central banks.
- 37:05Anyways, the fact that the bank of international settlements is
- 37:09so heavily involved in a national digital currency
- 37:12program suggests that the ultimate goal of Central Bank,
- 37:14digital currencies will be an eventual Global digital
- 37:18currency. That's right.
- 37:20That is the world economic forum.
- 37:22All the bureaucrat that is, their wet dream, a global
- 37:26digital currency of which they have absolute control of.
- 37:30And this is why I don't, I'm not exaggerating.
- 37:32When I say we have a future between slavery and Bitcoin and
- 37:37freedom, which is Bitcoin. Bitcoin is going to be
- 37:40decentralized. And then you have the
- 37:41centralized alternative with the Chinese Communist.
- 37:43Party's a big fan of is the Central Bank, digital currency
- 37:47don't fall for their BS. Anyways, With so many physical
- 37:53currencies in use around the world and at least 30% of of
- 37:56each Western Nation preferring cash.
- 37:58There is little chance. That central banks will be able
- 38:01to force the issue of Central Bank.
- 38:02Digital currencies, unless there is an economic downturn or crash
- 38:06that inspires a public outcry for alternatives to existing
- 38:10currencies. Meaning banking, Elites will
- 38:12need a crisis. That damages, the very buying
- 38:15power of multiple currency systems in order to get people
- 38:19an aggressive shift to a cashless.
- 38:21Signing before 2030. Do you see how Bitcoin just ruin
- 38:24their plans? It just ruined their plants,
- 38:26man. This is where this was always
- 38:28heading. Anyways, the pitfalls of such a
- 38:32framework are many, and the potential for abuse goes far
- 38:35beyond the idea of Fiat money printing, could you imagine not
- 38:38only well, they abuse you by debasing the currency that you
- 38:42work and you earn in. They also will abuse You by
- 38:47literally freezing your account at.
- 38:49Well, look at what happened to Look what happens.
- 38:51It Canadians in Canada. I'm not exaggerating.
- 38:53When I say that Central Bank, digital currencies will would
- 38:56give government Banks and governments ultimate power of
- 38:59influence, over the populace, inspiring fear and individuals,
- 39:03as they consider the threat that their access to the economy,
- 39:06could be severed at any moment. Should they say or do anything
- 39:10in defiance of authorities, Banks?
- 39:12And politicians will try to sell Central Bank digital currencies
- 39:15as the Pinnacle of convenience and a necessary transaction
- 39:19transition transition. In order to stabilize the
- 39:22economy, what they will not mention is the pervasive level
- 39:25of control, they will gain in the process, and they're not
- 39:29even hiding that anymore. You saw that video by Gustav
- 39:32Carson Central Bank, digital currencies will give us Central
- 39:36Bankers, absolute control absolute control.
- 39:39Like they're not even hiding anymore.
- 39:42If you want to know what, the party of Davos is doing the
- 39:45world economic Forum, this is what they're pushing for your
- 39:49only way out of this future. ER and of course is a little
- 39:52off. You skated right now because the
- 39:54only thing saving us from this cashless society that they want
- 39:57to implement is that around 30% of people, still use cash, but
- 40:02what happens if that, that number is going to start doing
- 40:04the link down, have you noticed that inflation keeps doing its
- 40:07thing? But the bill sizes remain the
- 40:09same. What happens in 20, 30 years
- 40:13from that. Hundred-dollar.
- 40:14Bill has almost no purchasing power.
- 40:19You know, it's for money laundering.
- 40:21Get have to have people using cash what's going on there.
- 40:26Your your protest against this. Your peaceful protest is saying,
- 40:30dude. Fuck that.
- 40:32Fuck your slavery model. I'm going to opt out.
- 40:36I'm going to use Bitcoin. Anyways Opti.
- 40:37What are your thoughts brother? Well my first thought was a
- 40:41troll, the bank of international settlements trying to create a
- 40:45cbgc. Is this going to be built on
- 40:48eith? Cuz yeah.
- 40:53Alright anyways of course central banks and Bankers, want
- 40:56you tracked and bagged? Of course, they're trying to
- 40:59eliminate cash. It's the only way to privately
- 41:02Transat well besides Bitcoin. But the only way in the Legacy
- 41:05system to privately transact. So of course they're going to
- 41:09try to stop that Escape Route. We've been saying this about
- 41:12Bitcoin since this show started is that they know what game is
- 41:16happening and they know that they need to stop the Escape
- 41:18Route. Like they fundamentally know
- 41:22what game we are playing and they are playing and we've
- 41:24called They're their Bluff. And so now they're scrambling
- 41:29and they're trying to figure out ways to control you and we just
- 41:31keep we keep bringing the receipts about they're saying
- 41:35the quiet part out loud. Now like this is how far gone
- 41:38they've gone, you know, that they aren't even ashamed of
- 41:42telling you that they are trying to control you completely.
- 41:45So that you can't save, you can't transact, you can't say
- 41:47things. They don't want you to say.
- 41:49Like this is absolute bananas. And then, if you remember what
- 41:53we showed you guys in the numbers yesterday, about them,
- 41:55Trying to D platform people. Like they keep saying this over
- 41:59and over. Its they are obviously pushing
- 42:02to stop freedom of speech, stop freedom of Association because
- 42:05they understand that they have fundamentally lost control and
- 42:09so they have to stop the Escape Routes and there's only a few
- 42:12Escape Routes and furthermore, like cash is not an Escape
- 42:16Route. You like we said a minute ago,
- 42:18you're losing value slowly but you can transact privately.
- 42:22So there is trade-offs. But of course this is what Intro
- 42:26bank is going to say and then furthermore, I don't want to get
- 42:28conspiratorial again. Nico.
- 42:30I know, I know, I know I have to, you have to bring me in but
- 42:35a one-world currency backed by the quote-unquote powers that be
- 42:40or the small cabal is at the top or however, you want to name.
- 42:43This sounds very luciferian to me and it sounds like what?
- 42:49I'll stop there and I'll just stop there.
- 42:52Oh man. Oh man, we're going down to
- 42:55Alex. Turns out this funny.
- 42:58They're demons brother damn it's but yeah man.
- 43:03Look it dude there's no there there you can't deny that they
- 43:08want a One World Government. Okay they're saying that
- 43:10themselves the world economic Forum propaganda you'll nothing
- 43:14could be happy. Yeah if they have if they get
- 43:18their way and they Implement Central Bank, digital currencies
- 43:21you loan nothing and be happy because you'll have no other
- 43:24choice bro. And this is why they attacked
- 43:27Bitcoin the way they do. This is why they hate Bitcoin.
- 43:30This is the, this is the fight of our lives and I suspect I
- 43:34keep making this prediction as time goes by.
- 43:38You'll start. You're going to have to make a
- 43:39choice right now. It's a little bit off, you
- 43:41skated, Right? But as time goes by, as
- 43:44government's lose their power on the Monopoly, in the creation of
- 43:47money, and the Monopoly of people using dollars, you know,
- 43:51out of because of the threat of violence, right?
- 43:54Like, legal tender laws are so Stop.
- 43:56It's like use our dollar that loses value or else, you know,
- 43:59it's like, why can't I earn in Bitcoin?
- 44:01Why can't I pay in Bitcoin? Those are all very good
- 44:03questions, like what's going on there?
- 44:04Look, not only do you have to pay income tax, but you also
- 44:08have to play inflation tax to what is going on here.
- 44:11This is very strange, fine. You could have made the argument
- 44:13before you had no other alternative.
- 44:16There's no other good alternative.
- 44:17But now that Bitcoin exists, why are we doing this?
- 44:19Why are we putting up with this? Anyways those are all very good
- 44:22questions to ask yourself. Anyways, Opti.

- 45:45for us today, brother? Well, you guys already know or
- 45:50better yet. I already know how much you guys
- 45:52love dunking on coinbase. So You guys heard about
- 45:56Columbus, but let me recap the so you guys can feel.
- 46:00What is Actually going on. So, I've been covering coinbase
- 46:03for now. What since I've started the show
- 46:05is simply Bitcoin and I'm going to bring the receipts and
- 46:07hopefully I can get to the second fail, but we probably
- 46:11won't. Anyways, let's just go back to a
- 46:13little memory whole, you know, coinbase announces, they will
- 46:15slow hiring after you dealing a net loss of 430 million dollars.
- 46:22Next, we got FTX official surpasses coinbase for the first
- 46:26time in trade volume is coinbase sinking again.
- 46:31When coinbase extends hiring pause for foreseeable future and
- 46:34resigns number of accepted offers, okay?
- 46:37Coinbase tabs downloads drop by 55% in 2022 and plunge
- 46:41seventy-nine percent since 2021 coinbase lashes 18% of
- 46:45Workforce. And look at the dates, you know,
- 46:47June 14 2022. The next few days, Goldman Sachs
- 46:51downgrades coinbase stock rating and we go on to find out that
- 46:54coinbase is selling your information to ice and then we
- 46:57continue to go down, coinbase, fail and coin basis.
- 47:01Rarely shutting down its affiliate marketing for
- 47:03influencers. And then I absolutely love this
- 47:06tweet coinbase head of US policy calls for the need for shit
- 47:10coin, firms to self-regulate as the sector consolidates pot,
- 47:13calling kettle black. And then we had the news about
- 47:16the SEC probe into insider trading and coinbase is just all
- 47:21just adding up as really bad news for coinbase, but let's
- 47:24keep going, you know, again, they're facing a pro by the SEC,
- 47:28Kathy Woods dumps. Her 1.42 Million.
- 47:31Coinbase shares. What did she know?
- 47:33She actually came back and said that she dumped it because of
- 47:36the concerns with the SEC, whatever.
- 47:38And then we heard this week or last week, beginning of this
- 47:41week, that coin based partners with BlackRock.
- 47:44And today, the big news, coinbase pulls a 1.09 billion
- 47:49dollar net loss in quarter 2 of 2022, big roof.
- 47:53So let's get into this article over here at Bloomberg, coinbase
- 47:57disappoint with user forecast, revenues Miss Today's Global
- 48:02posted a record Wang Point 1 billion dollar, second quarter
- 48:05loss and lower than expected Revenue as the largest US shit.
- 48:10Coin exchange was battered by tumbling digital asset prices.
- 48:14Before I get into this guy's I'm going to I'm going to show you
- 48:17the receipts, but mind you the framing that coin based PR is
- 48:20trying to spin on this and we shall talk about it for a
- 48:23minute. Anyway, shares of the company
- 48:26dropped about 6.6 percent and trading.
- 48:29Coinbase has slumped 65 Percent so far this year amid what has
- 48:33been labeled as the latest shit coin winter Revenue declined by
- 48:37more than 60 percent to 80 8.3 million.
- 48:40Missing the 85 4.8 million estimates from analysts monthly
- 48:45transacting users, drop by nine million dollars in the second
- 48:48quarter. Two percent decline from last
- 48:50quarter. Trading volumes also drop
- 48:53Bitcoins but here I forgot. There's some, here's some signal
- 48:58in here guys. Bitcoin.
- 48:59Share of trading. Rose to 31% from 24%.
- 49:04So it looks like all those shit Corners that got wrecked are
- 49:08finally coming back to bitcoin because the volume trading and
- 49:11Bitcoin is rising anyways. Total assets on platform, pledge
- 49:1563 percent to ninety six billion.
- 49:19And here's where we get the pr spin, the current downturn, came
- 49:22fast and furious adding that the soft shit coin market conditions
- 49:26are continuing into the third quarter core.
- 49:29Retail customers are sitting on the Sidelines, because of the
- 49:32downturn because of all the uncertainty investors had
- 49:35expected, a pretty ugly quarter on training in vet revenue and
- 49:39in the shit coin winter. The big theme is the
- 49:42diversification continues. Oh my God, such as through State
- 49:47interest income anyways, on a foyer Outlook the company.
- 49:51Now expects 7 million to 9 million, average monthly
- 49:54transacting users, Nehring arranged from earlier forecast,
- 49:58average is around 8.7 apparently, And coinbase lost in
- 50:02the Latin, the three months ended June, 30 included, four
- 50:05hundred and forty. Six million in impairment
- 50:07charges related to investment and Ventures, making it the
- 50:11largest amount since it became a public company and here is some
- 50:16more PR spin. Clearly we acknowledge, these
- 50:18are stress market conditions, nothing to do with the fact that
- 50:22you guys are the biggest shit, coin, casino and all the as you
- 50:25see probes but of course in response to the SEC probe news,
- 50:29they have to you know put there ER, sir in, we have a
- 50:32zero-tolerance policy on front-running.
- 50:35Yes, remember Charlie Lee and coinbase in 2017.
- 50:41Anyways, what does this all mean?
- 50:44I think personally, it means that coinbase is absolutely rack
- 50:47out there. Guys, that like we spend saying,
- 50:49their business model is floundering and this is a bear
- 50:53market. So you know, of course, the
- 50:55trading volumes are going to go down.
- 50:56Of course, people are going to lose interest because no one
- 50:59likes losing money. But as we have been saying,
- 51:03consistently on this show if coinbase wants to succeed, going
- 51:07further into the future, they are going to have to get back to
- 51:10basics. They are going to have to go
- 51:12back to the Golden Goose. That got them here in the first
- 51:16place, you need to make an emphasis on bitcoin only
- 51:19products, because, man, it's not looking good out there for you
- 51:23guys. You guys are losing market,
- 51:24share. You guys are getting rekt
- 51:26publicly. You guys are losing a shit ton
- 51:28of money and I mean, look, they did just partner with black
- 51:33rocks. So it looks like coinbase.
- 51:35Might be too big to fail out there because now they have the
- 51:37can t on insiders where they can just keep pumping their bags.
- 51:40But shout out to Solomon, he's in the chap.
- 51:44And he made a point yesterday about coinbase and BlackRock,
- 51:48and he said, maybe maybe this is a black rocks way of fighting
- 51:51coinbase, so that they can pick up some cheap stock and pump
- 51:55this baby back up. So, oh no, we failed again on
- 51:59the video. Amazing, almost made it all the
- 52:02way through rat, guys, absolutely wrecked.
- 52:06But we are back. Anyways, Nico, what's your
- 52:10thought on coinbase? I know you and I are very
- 52:12adamant. Coin.
- 52:14Only people. And we see what is the problem
- 52:18with coinbase. But are they just too close to
- 52:21shit? Coronary?
- 52:22Are they just too far gone down the shit.
- 52:24Coin Rabbit Hole you. And I always say that Brian
- 52:26Armstrong is an enemy of Bitcoin.
- 52:29Do you think he is worried? Or is he just like, hey,
- 52:32whatever man? Who cares?
- 52:34Where that Billy went because I can make some more trading shit
- 52:37coins. And then someone said it, like,
- 52:39I wonder where that Billy went cuz Dude, I'm just, I'm very,
- 52:45like, I want to give a round of applause for the camera.
- 52:49This is a record for it to hit 52 minutes.
- 52:52I even, I even put it in the refrigerator to cool it down.
- 52:56I think I'm gonna have to go buy a new one.
- 52:57Nico. Yeah.
- 52:58Yeah. I think, I think we're at that
- 53:00point, but let's see, let's see. Give it a little bit.
- 53:02Give it a little time. Anyways.
- 53:04Oh, we got yellow in the chat. Hold on says, we can start the
- 53:09the show yellow is here. It's okay.
- 53:13Okay. So man, dude, they're just an
- 53:18evil villain, man. They have it there acquaint
- 53:21base. Is is an evil villain?
- 53:24They are listing Securities. That's without a doubt there
- 53:28right now. They're they're in a fight for
- 53:31their lives because if the SEC the SEC is basically pushing to
- 53:35declare all these things, the security.
- 53:38So yeah, man, it's it's a shame and remember, it's unfortunate
- 53:43because Base is the one that teamed up with black rock which
- 53:47is also another evil company Like Larry Fink.
- 53:50So yeah. I just that's what I got to say
- 53:55about that honestly. Yeah, I agree and and we're
- 53:59running out of time, guys, but I will put it in the notes.
- 54:02You guys need to go check out this thread by coin bitch.
- 54:05I was going to cover it for the fail, but we already did the CPI
- 54:08numbers tomorrow brother. Yeah, we could definitely do it.
- 54:11It's I, it's one of those things where it's like, We need to get
- 54:14this message out there because the CPI numbers is a fail
- 54:19inherently. So I guess we'll cover tomorrow,
- 54:21shouts out the coin B. You've been putting out, great
