0:12
Yo we're gonna simply the coin live.
0:14
Your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin Revolution,
0:16
code-breaking use, coal traumatic Warfare.
0:17
We will be your guide through the separation of money and
0:20
state. Yeah.
0:22
Interesting. Interesting news today, Michael
0:25
sailor is throwing it kind of sounds ridiculous when you when
0:29
you say it. But Michael Sailors, throwing a
0:31
Bitcoin and lightning adoption conference for corporations.
0:37
And may interesting interesting and I think it really highlights
0:41
the important like the where Michael sealer is focusing his
0:45
energy and we have to like understand like what is Michael
0:48
sailor? Trying to prove Michael Sailors,
0:50
trying to prove that Bitcoin functions as a better
0:54
alternative or companies holding that on their balance sheet
0:58
versus Fiat, right? You know, we all talk about
1:02
inflation 5% inflation 2% inflation, right?
1:06
Six, At nine percent inflation you have maybe you know let's
1:10
say you have a thousand dollars in your bank account.
1:12
Yeah. It sucks.
1:13
You know, say you lose what? 80 bucks, 10 bucks or sorry, $80
1:18
$100 if you have a thousand dollars, but if you have 10
1:21
million dollars, then that 10% inflation of that nine percent
1:25
inflation that 6% inflation. Really, really, really, really
1:29
hurts. I think that's the message that
1:33
Michael Sailors is trying to push and then also in the
1:35
lightning front as well, Right lightning.
1:38
We believe is lightning is a potential solution to scaling
1:42
Bitcoin, right? Second layer.
1:44
So make sense why he's hosting this type of conference.
1:47
If time allows also another quick update on the separation
1:52
of money and state in the site, State fighting back by an
1:54
Administration acknowledges, it can force Bitcoin Minds to
1:58
disclose pollution. So, you know, one of the attack
2:01
vectors We Believe on bitcoiners at least slowing down the
2:05
adoption of Bitcoin. Is the right to self custody,
2:09
which interestingly it was a state of Wyoming.
2:13
That passed a law that protects that the do you you're seeing
2:17
this on a state level? And we also, I think it was
2:20
Mississippi as well. That was protecting the right of
2:23
individuals to run notes. I think if my memory serves me
2:27
correctly, I think Dennis Porter had something to do with that.
2:30
Shout out to him and then the other attack Vector, which is
2:35
the more obvious one, that's the one that you see all the You
2:37
know, the the propaganda being, you know, being advertised as of
2:41
late. Remember you guys remember the
2:42
Cowpens video with Bloomberg high production quality?
2:46
You know, saying narratives that have been debunked already
2:48
about, you know, Bitcoin uses more energy in the country of
2:51
Austria which like, yeah, that's fine to say that, but it never
2:54
gets into the details. Never never covers any of the
2:57
Nuance, like what energy is Bitcoin using in the first
3:00
place. It's stranded, energies,
3:02
isolated, energies, energy, that was already going to waste.
3:04
If it wasn't already going to waste, it wouldn't be.
3:07
Goal for miners to use that. You're not going to mine in a
3:10
big city or the price of electricity through the roof.
3:13
So it's never talks about any of that.
3:14
Anyway, so we're going to get into all that and also we have
3:17
two very special guests. We have Greg Hofmeister, hope I
3:22
pronounced that correctly. I tended to butcher last names.
3:25
How you doing, bro? Good, glad to be here.
3:28
Happy to have you on the show today and of course, Ms. Bitcoin
3:32
life, how you doing, buddy? Welcome to show.
3:34
Well, thank you very much and I'm gonna bring my Legendary
3:37
co-host, always optimistic, Optimus field.
3:40
How you doing, bro? Well, I'm doing wonderful.
3:43
We had a good conversation before the show so I know
3:46
today's going to be a little day but also man, it's very
3:49
interesting. All the news that's happening on
3:52
the one hand, the Sailor news. I'll probably bring this up
3:54
again. The Bitcoin brain drain is real
3:56
boys and girls. It is happening in real time.
3:59
And then the other news, if we do get to it, it's very
4:02
interesting. All the the stuff coming out in
4:05
regards to politicians. Passing bills and stuff, you
4:08
know, hey, we're not too big on pieces of paper, but it does
4:13
seem like the Overton window is Shifting.
4:15
Is this mean? You know, the the political tide
4:18
is turning and Bitcoin? I sure hope.
4:20
So, anyways, Nicholas goodness, let's get into it.
4:23
All right, everybody, let's start the show.
4:25
Let's do this. The Bitcoin numbers brought to
4:31
you by not all at this point. You should be running your own
4:34
Bitcoin note. If you don't use your own
4:36
Bitcoin node, you're trusting someone else's run your own
4:39
version of Bitcoin core. The lightning Network,
4:41
whirlpool, and Dojo all from the comfort of your own home.
4:45
And if your digital Nomad, you have absolutely no excuse
4:48
because now you can run a novel through a virtual private
4:51
server. Visit nottle, Dottie you today,
4:54
All right, everybody, I want to tell you about Bitcoin 2023.
4:57
It's going to be the largest Bitcoin conference in the world.
5:00
Bitcoin celebration, Miami Beach, Florida, May 18th through
5:04
the 20th, 2023 don't want to miss it.
5:07
You could take advantage of the promo code simply to get 10% off
5:11
your tickets. Let's go through some of the
5:13
speaker list because going to be absolutely crazy micro sale in
5:15
Alden. Alex gladstein, Matt Odell Stacy
5:17
Herbert Cory clip. Shinobi fo day and many many
5:21
more, you guys don't want to miss this celebration and of
5:23
course He and I are going to be there.
5:26
Anyways, at the time of recording, the Bitcoin price is
5:28
24,800. So that's per .wu, 24,000, bit
5:33
of a lineup That's goes for dollar green candle 4031, block,
5:37
height 776. 2875 reachable Bitcoin nodes.
5:41
Fourteen thousand. Six hundred forty six blocks to
5:43
the having 60 3125 having estimate.
5:47
April 24th 2024 total lightning network capacity for 5000 366
5:53
Bitcoin capacity value. 133 million, u.s. dollars, realize
5:57
monetary inflation. That's weird.
5:58
I thought that number was at one point seven, five percent the
6:01
other day. Yeah, what's going on, what's
6:03
going on there? What's gonna?
6:05
I thought it was only supposed to go down.
6:06
Anyways maybe it's a bug one point seven six percent and the
6:09
market capitalization of Bitcoin four hundred seventy, eight
6:12
billion dollars. Now what I keep saying this but
6:14
I keep like is my favorite stat of this whole thing is the
6:17
realized monetary inflation because it highlights the scam
6:20
that are Fiat currencies. And on the day-to-day I'm going
6:23
to keep saying that. The the same number, but as the
6:26
years go by that number is just going to continue going down is
6:29
going to become very apparent. Anyways, what I wanted to cover
6:33
today, is this SEC, this is huge news, and this has many, many,
6:40
many implications, right? So SCC proposes rules, that
6:45
would change which crypto, for which crypto firms can custody,
6:49
customer assets. Moving on to this tweet thread
6:54
by Caitlin Long and she summarizes it and I think she
6:57
did a great job. So the tldr is it doesn't kill
7:02
crypto. Custody it mu it's a move
7:04
against state-chartered trust companies.
7:06
There's one, there's one big issue though, which will trigger
7:09
huge. Push back the big issue for
7:13
custodians to indemnify for quote negligence recklessness or
7:17
willful misconduct, all the banks Wall Street, Commodities,
7:20
and crypto Industries will push back together on this because it
7:23
would kill Custody businesses. Broadly, what's the issue
7:27
proposed? Apply, custodian, custody
7:29
custody rule to all asset classes including Commodities in
7:32
crypto. Okay?
7:33
Fine. But SEC also wants to Scott
7:35
Ian's to identify full asset value for losses, and which
7:39
custodian played any role. That's the implication of
7:42
expanding the custody rule with such and Emma need to physical
7:45
assets, like oil, cattle wheat, and crypto, history, cut custody
7:49
originated under concept of bailment which is the same law
7:52
as coat, checks and Valley partment.
7:54
Valet parking, Bill mints, usually have limited liability
7:57
next time. You check your coat.
7:59
Look at the receipt, you receive it limits liability because you
8:03
are expected to ensure your own asset.
8:05
This makes sense because you didn't turn over legal title to
8:08
the asset to your custodian. You continue to own, it
8:11
custodian typically has a duty of care.
8:14
So you see the issue, the SCC essentially require qualified,
8:17
custodians, to blanket, identify clients Against full risk of
8:21
loss for assets. That custodians, don't even own.
8:24
Own for Commodities, that will upset long-standing Insurance
8:27
terms. No dice.
8:29
So, I think there will be a wall of unit, I'd United push back
8:34
against this Indemnity, provision SEC is correct and
8:37
it's assessment that market practice, varies wildly, it does
8:41
with good reason. Because for physical assets, it
8:43
really matters whether when Title is transferred.
8:47
So and this is really interesting because most
8:49
exchanges right now at the moment, they are the exchange
8:54
and they're also The custodian and that functions wildly
8:57
different than the traditional Financial system, where the
8:59
custodian is, is different than the broker, The Exchange, right?
9:05
So I don't know what the full implications of this are but I
9:10
do want to pull up a tweet from Corey clips and and I think that
9:15
it further explains what is going on.
9:18
So let me pull it up. So here we go.
9:22
Says the best way to buy coin is to send your money to a broker
9:26
and have them send your coin straight to you like bull
9:28
Bitcoin does the second best ways to segregate duties between
9:32
custodian and broker like Swan Bitcoin so the broker cannot
9:36
touch your coin so and it goes on to say the worst model is
9:39
trust me bro like Celsius and finance or the exchange is also
9:43
your custodian and I believe that's what the SEC regulations
9:47
are all about. They're applying regulations
9:49
that the traditional financial industry has had to follow for
9:52
the longest time and we talked a What about incentives on this
9:55
show are the incentives aligned when the broker is also the
9:59
custodian, right? Those are misaligned incentives.
10:02
So, with the traditional Financial system has like
10:04
they've had these wrongly, they've had these laws really.
10:07
I think it since the Great Depression, if my memory serves
10:10
me correctly, where the broker in the custodian or totally
10:13
different, right? And I think that that's what
10:17
these SEC laws are about. Now that affects many exchanges
10:21
like coinbase, where coinbase is not only the Broker.
10:24
But they're also the custodian and take a look at the example
10:28
of FTX as well, right by Nance is another one, right?
10:32
So, this is going to have huge implications, but as Caitlin
10:36
long was was just talking about the amount of pushback, they're
10:40
going to receive is tremendous. And you've seen Brian Armstrong
10:44
over the last couple of days like screaming from the
10:46
rooftops. Basically, saying this is going
10:47
to force, you know, crypto shit. Coin companies overseas, because
10:52
they're not going to adhere to this.
10:53
There was also So like a very hyperbolic tweet that it's like
10:57
this is the equivalent of not allowing Uber like all these
11:00
things or at least shit Corners are just pulling their hairs
11:02
out. But I mean look, Obviously we're
11:06
bitcoiners on this show or we advocate for is taking self
11:09
custody, if you take self custody, you know, I think that
11:14
there's a reasonable chance that we can actually effectuate
11:17
change because it's Millions upon millions of individuals
11:20
holding their own wealth, rather than Outsourcing the
11:23
responsibility of doing that to custodians, right?
11:26
But I mean, I think that this is part of cleaning up the of the
11:29
industry and and look like if you approach it from common
11:33
sense. Why is the The financial system
11:36
made to adhere to certain laws about custodians and Brokers.
11:41
And why is the Bitcoin and crypto industry made to adhere
11:46
to different laws, right? And then what are the what are
11:48
the Fallout of the law of those laws?
11:50
So again not a big fan of using custodians you know I'm a simple
11:56
I'm a simple Bitcoin ER you know buy Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin, mine
12:00
Bitcoin and take that stuff. Bitcoin take that said Bitcoin
12:03
into self custom like That is how I approach it.
12:06
That's how I look at this. But I mean, this could have
12:10
tremendous. This could have a tremendous
12:12
implications for a lot of the shit coin casinos, because I
12:15
know a lot of those, a lot of those people that are buying
12:17
those shit coins like they're not taking self custody.
12:20
Those shit coins. Like they're leaving those shit
12:22
coins on those casinos. Right?
12:24
So huge huge, huge implications. We're going to we're going to
12:28
we're gonna stay on top of it. Going to talk about it.
12:31
This is developing story. Anyways, Opti I feel like you're
12:34
going to say exactly What I just said, bro.
12:36
Like yeah, yeah, I've you know, I can't really add to what
12:40
you're saying and I will you know let Caitlin long do all the
12:45
intricate stuff here but it's very interesting.
12:48
The moves that the SEC has been making the last couple of weeks
12:51
or the last couple of days. Really and you know, we've said
12:55
in the past that Gensler Gensler knows what I think he's doing in
13:00
the sense like he understands what Bitcoin is.
13:02
So at this point I think I'm going To hold reserve my opinion
13:08
because it's still, I think it's still out there whether again
13:10
thirds Friend or Foe of Bitcoin. I know in the past we said he's
13:13
not friendly towards the climb but right now it's kind of like
13:15
I don't know, I don't know what 5D chess game, he's playing over
13:18
there so it's going to be interesting to follow along in
13:21
the coming days and weeks because they are definitely
13:24
making a lot of moved in regards to the Bitcoin and Bitcoin space
13:28
and and it's happening like every single day.
13:30
It seems like we're seeing some new Story coming out of the SEC.
13:33
So they are definitely making Moves.
13:35
And it's just, it's going to be interesting where the cards
13:37
fall. Yeah, 100%.
13:41
But yeah, this is going to be interesting.
13:43
I think this is the I think they needed the FTX blow up to
13:47
implement a lot of this regulation.
13:48
But I mean at the end of the day like and I know bitcoiners are
13:52
vehemently against, you know, any type of government
13:55
intervention. But at the end of the day, look
13:57
the the these laws about separating the custodian verse
14:02
the broker they've been around since the depression are they've
14:05
been On for a very very long time the financial industry has
14:08
had to adhere to them for a very long time, why would the Bitcoin
14:11
and Industry? Why would the Bit Coin and
14:13
crypto industry be any different right?
14:15
And then also not to mention what I was saying earlier,
14:17
right? It's misaligned incentives.
14:19
Do the broker is also the person that is holding your assets.
14:24
That is a recipe for disaster. Anyways.
14:26
Ms. Bitcoin life. What are your thoughts on this?
14:28
And then we'll move on to Greg or you guys.
14:31
I mean I Echo everything you said and I saw Of feel, we have
14:36
to continue down our path of buying Bitcoin, Cold Storage in
14:41
putting out Bitcoin off exchanges in to hide real
14:44
wallets, and let the shitstorms go around us and sleep.
14:48
Well, at night, that's kind of my vision, 100%.
14:52
What about you, Greg? What's your thoughts on this?
14:55
Not your keys, not your coin. That's my thirst first thought.
14:59
But I will say, you know, I think to your point about why,
15:03
why would you hold? The Bitcoin Community or crypto
15:09
in general to a different standard, the good question.
15:13
However, I don't think some of the existing custodians that are
15:17
out there that are used to custodian traditional assets,
15:22
necessarily have the expertise or the infrastructure in place
15:27
to, you know, do the job as well as maybe a homegrown, you know,
15:33
Bitcoin custodian would be able to To do so.
15:36
Are we ready for that? Are those do those those
15:38
companies exist? I think that's one of the big
15:40
questions, you know. You can't just use the existing
15:42
custodians that are out there, I think, although I'm sure you
15:46
know, Fidelity and some others who have led, the led the charge
15:50
here are probably making the Right Moves In terms of the
15:52
infrastructure that they have. So yeah, yeah, so I agree, I
15:57
think that there's definitely some Bitcoin companies and, you
16:02
know, crypto exchanges that are definitely going to be caught.
16:05
Wearing their pants down. There's definitely some
16:07
exchanges that have followed or some Bitcoin companies, better
16:11
said that have that do have the broker and custodian separated,
16:17
right? But it is definitely it is
16:20
definitely something to be aware of and this is a developing
16:24
story will stay on top of it. And if this does go through,
16:28
right, it definitely will radically change the industry.
16:32
Let's see what happens. Anyways everybody let's get some
16:34
news have a lot to talk. Talk about.
16:38
The Daily News brought to you by block stream.

17:19
Michael sailor tweeted this out, February 15th of yesterday, on
17:22
May 3rd to the 4th in Orlando. Florida for do microstrategy,
17:26
will host our first in-person conference to discuss Bitcoin,
17:30
and lightning for corporations and showcase Enterprise
17:33
solutions, that monetize, websites and mobile apps.
17:36
Participants and presenters can register below.
17:40
Let's take a look at some of more information on this goes on
17:44
to say that coin and lightning for corporations is a unique
17:46
opportunity, for corporate leaders, Financial Executives,
17:49
and techno technology, innovators to discuss the future
17:52
of Bitcoin in the corporate world.
17:54
The event features expert advice needed for corporations to plug
17:57
into Bitcoin and lightning and reimagine their business
18:00
directly from the markets. Most credible voices, and
18:02
experienced practitioners this event is hosted by microstrategy
18:06
a In Bitcoin, adoption in August 20, 20 micro strategy became the
18:10
first publicly traded company to acquire and hold Bitcoin on its
18:13
balance sheet as a primary treasury.
18:15
Reserve asset microstrategy paved the way for other
18:18
companies such as block, ink and Tesla to follow.
18:21
So, let's take a look at some. So, looks like the first day May
18:25
3rd, it's Bitcoin for corporations and then the second
18:28
day, it's lightning for corporations.
18:29
There's the Bitcoin keynote, there's Wall Street, and Bitcoin
18:33
corporate treasury session Bitcoin, 101 accounting, and Tax
18:37
panel, legal regulatory panel, the future of Bitcoin for
18:40
corporations. A fireside chat goes on to say,
18:42
crypto is noise, Bitcoin is the signal corporations.
18:45
Need the knowledge tools and network to stay focus on
18:48
adoption and benefit from the technology and so definitely
18:51
check that out. And then interesting, the, the
18:54
title of this one, a bright orange, future a fireside, chat
18:57
microstrategy executive chairman, Jose Bitcoin and
19:00
lightning luminary to share their unique vantage point on
19:03
the market. So this is really, really
19:06
exciting. Here.
19:07
This is really, really exciting. It looks like you know, Michael
19:10
sailor took that stepping down from the CEO to focus on bitcoin
19:14
extremely seriously and it is, you know, it is really about
19:18
convincing, it really is about convincing companies and
19:21
corporations that you know, they're responsible to their
19:24
shareholders. I'm sure a lot of them are
19:26
public companies, right? The have to convince them, like
19:28
why Bitcoin now, why should, why should we use Bitcoin versus the
19:32
traditional Financial system? And I think that this type of
19:35
conference Focus, Specifically just on companies, just on
19:39
corporations does just that. So interesting to see how this
19:43
plays out, there's definitely going to be a ton of videos.
19:45
I'm anticipating that come out of there and hopefully we'll
19:49
have some some clips for you guys that we can play and
19:53
interesting how this works out. Now I'm going to double down on
19:56
what we've been talking about the last couple of weeks where I
20:00
say that right now, 9 bouquet lay on the nation-state adoption
20:05
front. And Michael sailor on the public
20:08
company adoption front right now.
20:11
They don't look very good. They're Bitcoin Investments,
20:14
both of them, you know, down over 50%.
20:17
If it's if it's in Michael kaler and Michael Sailors case you
20:20
know that's billions of dollar. I think it's a billion dollars
20:24
or so so they don't look good. The next having I really do
20:29
believe that not only Michael sailor will be Vindicated but
20:33
also 9 bouquet lay and then that's when I believe.
20:36
Are going to start to see more interest from other companies
20:40
and I really do believe it's going to blow everyone's mind I
20:43
think right now it's hard to see but if I told you in 2020 or
20:48
2019 that hey within two years within two or three years,
20:52
public companies like Tesla going to start putting Bitcoin
20:55
on their balance sheet and a whole nation state is going to
20:58
make Bitcoin legal tender. You would have laughed me out of
21:00
the room. So I think, you know, as ngu
21:03
technology does its thing, I think a lot of things are going
21:06
to happen. And that none of us could have
21:08
ever foreseen, but it's definitely going to be a hell of
21:11
a ride. I just ask all of you to survive
21:15
survive, this bear Market. Take advantage of you know these
21:19
these awesome Bitcoin prices these discounts like we like to
21:22
say, you know, stay humble stack SATs, grow your stack survive
21:27
houghtaling is easy but doing it is very difficult.
21:31
Anyways Opti. What are your thoughts, bro?
21:33
Well just on your last point. You reminded me of what my buddy
21:36
by King Ghost says like everyday in our space is like guys just
21:39
stay solvent like survive the bear Market.
21:43
You know Duncan over-leveraged but back to back to the
21:46
conference. I actually have a question I'm
21:50
misremembering right now but wasn't the last time we had a
21:53
like a big Bitcoin Corporation conference.
21:56
It was my dig and we saw a lot of fireworks come out of that
21:59
one. So like I think it's going to be
22:01
very interesting to see See, and I'm assuming that we're going to
22:05
see some big companies come out of this microstrategy one.
22:09
I don't think, I don't think. See, I don't think that's going
22:11
to be made public to be honest. No, that's, that's my point.
22:14
Like, I'm assuming that like, we will start to hear grumblings
22:17
about this and that and, you know, in the near future about
22:21
like, who was there, who got inspired to stack Bitcoin, but
22:24
my point in saying, all that is the last time, we had a
22:28
conference of this nature for corporations.
22:30
We saw a lot of big companies come out, you know?
22:33
Not actually out of the conference but like in time be
22:36
like, oh, yeah, now we're stacking Bitcoin.
22:38
So, you know, maybe we're putting too many dots together
22:41
and being like, okay, this is going to pump our bags.
22:43
Obviously, we are, we bolt our date here, but to the point like
22:49
the signal spreading and and like I said in the beginning,
22:52
you know, the Bitcoin brain drain is real and shout out to
22:56
microstrategy and sailor for putting his hat in the ring and
23:00
continuously to spread that signal.
23:02
I think that's what all of us big.
23:03
Corners are starting to realize it's like, look how much can I
23:06
do to help Bitcoin adoption and in my doing enough?
23:09
And I think we're all kind of having that same realization of
23:12
where can I add value? And where can I help more?
23:15
People become bitcoiners but I really like that they made the
23:19
emphasis of talking about lightning.
23:21
I think that's very bullish in and of itself.
23:24
So it shuts out to what they're doing, really great to hear.
23:27
I'm sure we will get some bullish news coming out of this
23:29
in the future. But for now man.
23:31
Let's go. Let's let's Anyways Ms. Bitcoin
23:35
life. What's your take on this bro?
23:38
I think what Sailors doing this conference is your even under
23:43
estimating how powerful it can be.
23:45
I spent 35 years in the Fiat retail world with credit card
23:49
processing, my whole life and it's extremely important to
23:55
orange pill merchants and is seamless way and it's coming.
23:59
I don't know if it's in a year or in three years or five years
24:02
but that is huge. And that's the main one of the
24:05
main goals of mass adoption, which Greg and I run is to, if
24:09
you will Orange Peel or convert. Regular retail is to accept
24:13
Bitcoin and that's one of our missions.
24:15
We know. We're goal is to get about 500
24:18
retailers this year under our umbrella accepting Bitcoin in
24:22
their store. So it's is we're doing it from
24:24
the ground up, Sailors, doing it from the top down.
24:27
So I think it's I think it's very exciting.
24:31
Absolutely Greg. What are your thoughts on this?
24:33
Your take well at the end of the day, we all work for Bitcoin, we
24:39
all work for Bitcoin, sailor works for Bitcoin, the four of
24:42
us work for Bitcoin. So I love it because you know it
24:46
is about Mass adoption around the world and sailors taken
24:51
control of the corporate angle and we need corporate Mass
24:55
adoption as much as we need. The pleb Mass adoption and
24:58
everything in between. So this is good.
25:01
This is bullish. You know what a brand Bitcoin.
25:07
Yeah, absolutely. And I love that part that you
25:09
just said right about the that everyone that, you know, we all
25:13
work for Bitcoin and I fundamentally agree.
25:16
And I really, I do. I do believe this applies to
25:20
everybody. So like, you know, if you're a
25:21
Bitcoin her on Twitter, you know, every like that you give
25:26
towards, you know, or every rebuttal better said where the
25:30
European Central Bank is trolling everybody with a meme.
25:33
You want it? We love you all.
25:34
Happy Valentine's Day, we want to get back inflation back to 2%
25:37
and all the rebuttals in the comments like the memes and just
25:41
the ridicule like ridiculing, how ridiculous that is like,
25:44
yeah, let's get back to 2 percent, you know, theft like
25:47
that is working for Bitcoin. Like, you are, you're pushing
25:51
the, you know, you're pushing the peaceful Revolution forward.
25:53
That's what it's all about. It takes agency, it takes all of
25:57
us, you know, it doesn't matter. You know, there we go, look at
26:00
that, look at that. The revolute peaceful
26:02
Revolution. Love that.
26:04
Love that. Anyways, that was a shut up to
26:08
our own brand but that's okay. Yeah, yeah, sorry.
26:11
So speaking, now it's all good. So speaking of the peaceful
26:14
Revolution, I have an update for you guys on the continuation of
26:19
the separation of money and states very interesting and and
26:24
look, this is not a coincidence, this is not a coincidence.
26:26
Remember remember the Cowpens video by Bloomberg, remember the
26:31
production, the amount of money that was spent On that
26:33
production. It's not a coincidence that this
26:36
is happening around the same time and remember, Cowpens
26:41
worked at that time for the Obama Administration.
26:44
The Obama administration were the Obama Administration.
26:49
The vice president was Joe Biden.
26:51
Right? Who's currently the present?
26:52
So again I'm not like there's no way this way too many
26:57
coincidences is what I'm trying to say.
27:00
And again, just to specify specify for anyone.
27:03
You know, new to the show want to clarify.
27:05
Simply Bitcoin is politically neutral, we'd only left or right
27:08
and the traditional Fiat party sense.
27:11
We stand for Bitcoin. So whether you're a Democrat or
27:14
Republican, we don't care. As long as you support Bitcoin,
27:17
we are your friends anyways, by the administration acknowledges.
27:20
It can force Bitcoin Minds to disclose pollution in a letter.
27:24
Shared exclusively with the Verge Democrats, press the
27:27
department of energy and Environmental Protection Agency
27:29
on their timelines for mandating energy and Emissions disclosure.
27:33
By crypto mining companies. Now it's interesting because
27:37
other Industries are not are not mandated to do the same
27:42
disclosure. So is it really about the
27:45
climate? Is it really about the
27:46
environment or is it really going after Bitcoin mining is
27:50
proof of work because they can't control Bitcoin.
27:53
They can't control the monetary policy of Bitcoin.
27:56
They can't control people because they can't control the
27:58
money that those people are using.
28:01
And remember the, the case in Norway's is the one that I
28:04
always bring up because that I really believe is the Smoking
28:07
Gun. So there are certain political
28:08
parties in Norway that wanted to ban Bitcoin mining in Norway
28:12
now. What's really now they didn't
28:14
have it a political sports or never pass but what's really
28:16
interesting about Norway is that the vast majority know I think
28:20
it's like 90 it's some absurdly high number still it used
28:26
so-called renewable energy to mine Bitcoin but they still
28:30
wanted a ban it so is it really The about Bitcoin mining using
28:35
renewable energy, or is it about controlling, what you can use
28:40
energy for or not, right? And then kind of tie this up
28:43
with the, you know, the recent gas stove thing or they want
28:48
people using graph gas stoves. So again, that's another example
28:52
of, you know, a government or political party getting to pick
28:56
and choose what you're entitled to use or not.
28:59
And I think that's a terrible path to go down.
29:02
I think that's a form of sin. Real planning.
29:04
Anyways, so let's get into more of the details federal agencies
29:08
have the authority to First. Crypto, come crypto mining
29:10
companies to divulge how much energy they use and greenhouse
29:14
gas emissions. They create according to a
29:16
letter between the agencies and Democratic lawmakers shared
29:18
exclusively with the Verge Bitcoin miners have flocked to
29:21
the us over the past couple of years triggering concerns about
29:24
electricity usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
29:27
Despite the proliferation of crypto mines across the u.s.
29:30
there hasn't been solid data on what impact they have.
29:33
On the power grid and National Climate goals, that could soon
29:36
change as Democratic, lawmakers pressure federal agencies to
29:40
speed up plans, to require crypto mining companies to
29:42
report their emissions and energy consumption that kind of
29:45
transparency is an early crucial step towards raining and
29:49
pollution from crypto mites. That is a very strong statement.
29:53
What I just said. Anyways, this quote we urge you
29:56
to use the authorities to implement a mandatory closure
30:00
regime as rapidly as possible. We urge you to and then this was
30:05
signed by you guys have heard her before Senator Elizabeth
30:10
Warren. We have to shame them all
30:11
Shannon, Sheldon white, White House, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley,
30:18
Dick Durbin and representatives, Jared Huffman Katey, Porter and
30:23
Rasheeda Talib anyways, goes on to say, this is move in a saga
30:27
that started last year, when Democratic lawmaker, the biggest
30:30
crypto mining companies in the us to share numbers.
30:33
Their energy consumption pollution seven companies
30:36
together have the capacity to use over 1 gigawatt of
30:39
electricity almost enough energy as every residence in Houston
30:43
might use combined. Now again like that is a
30:46
misrepresentation that doesn't get into the details but but
30:50
sure is that a very good talking point.
30:53
We've heard that talking point before I want you guys to
30:55
connect the dots, you remember the Bloomberg, hit piece by
30:58
Cowpens, what did they say Bitcoin?
31:01
Mining uses as much energy? G as Austria, what they fail to
31:05
disclose including that article from The Verge as well.
31:09
Is that they don't mention what energy Bitcoin uses, Bitcoin
31:13
mining can't use energy or electricity.
31:17
That is uneconomical. You don't see Bitcoin mines in
31:20
very big cities. Why?
31:22
Because electricity is expensive you see Bitcoin mining where the
31:26
electricity is cheap therefore you know, basic supply and
31:29
demand. There's there isn't a lot of
31:31
demand. There's a ton of supplies And
31:33
that pushes down the prices, that's where it makes sense.
31:36
That's why you're seeing Bitcoin Minds, you know, pop up around
31:40
flared, gas, flare, gas, which is just your just vent at.
31:44
You're just setting methane on fire in that, you know, that
31:46
fire goes into the atmosphere. Imagine taking that harnessing
31:50
that and turning that into satoshi's.
31:52
I mean, that makes that's a much Greener, you know, that's a much
31:56
Greener. You know, that's a much good
31:59
Greener use of that energy if we want to use their terms, why
32:02
don't they They subsidize that, why don't they push that
32:06
forward, right? That actually helps, but they
32:09
never mentioned that, that's never mentioned, right?
32:12
So we've been on the fence about this for a very long time.
32:17
At first, we gave them the benefit of doubt.
32:19
We went down that path. Like, no, these people are
32:21
naive, they just don't know enough, but when they continue
32:24
to ignore the research, the Bitcoin Community has has has
32:30
made right whether it's the Bitcoin mining console, you
32:32
know, Shout Doubt been Canon, shout out Michael sailor whether
32:36
you know it's BPI Bitcoin policy Institute whether you know it is
32:41
Dennis Porter, the Satoshi action fund whether it's Nick
32:44
Carter, right? All these organizations that,
32:48
you know, spend a tremendous amount of time doing a
32:52
tremendous amount of research and giving all the Angles and
32:56
you continue to hear the same talking points.
32:58
They're ignored. So then how do you come to
33:01
another conclusion? But They're choosing to ignore
33:04
this. They're not stupid people.
33:05
They're extremely well-educated, Elizabeth Warren is very smart.
33:09
Can't say she's not right? So what other conclusion can you
33:12
come to than their maliciously, ignoring it to the point that
33:16
Michael sailor even called it at one point propaganda, right?
33:20
And I really believe that this piece by The Verge and the piece
33:24
by Cowpens. Released by Bloomberg crypto
33:28
with the handle crypto. Right, it says a lot, right?
33:31
Very strong symbolism there. It tells you. it tells you that
33:43
it tells you that I don't think that they're really, I don't
33:47
think they really want the truth.
33:49
I think that this is about controlling people ultimate,
33:53
they can't handle the truth. There we go.
33:55
I wish we had that mean popped up.
33:57
I think that's what it's all timidly about.
33:59
And man have I gone through an opt?
34:02
He's witnessed this firsthand this.
34:04
Like like it's very hard to say that because when you say that
34:09
you're automatically labeled, this guy's a freakin Nutjob,
34:12
this guy's a conspiracy theorist.
34:13
But I ask you There we go. Look, tinfoil hat and
34:17
everything. I asked you, I asked you right?
34:20
The, you know the viewer or The Listener.
34:23
Why don't you look into this stuff and see if you can come to
34:26
another conclusion please let us know.
34:28
You could shoot us a DM, simply Bitcoin Twitter, you can comment
34:32
down below. I can't come to another
34:34
conclusion. It just it does not these
34:37
attacks. They don't seem they don't seem
34:39
like they're interested in the truth.
34:41
They're really seeking to attack the industry and And look the
34:46
fact that Elizabeth Warren is behind this as well.
34:49
We know the Elizabeth born Bill that she tried to do.
34:52
She flat-out wants to force software developers in the
34:55
United States to register with the state in order to ride write
34:59
code for Bitcoin. Like so, like, I think she's
35:03
using any excuse possible, anything that she can get her
35:06
hands on to throw at this thing in order to stop the adoption of
35:11
Bitcoin. And and I think that highlights
35:14
a lot about The fact that I think that a lot of these
35:17
politicians, not all of them whether they're Republicans Or
35:21
democrats. I don't think they really care
35:23
about their constituents. I don't think they really care
35:26
about inflation. I think they're more concerned
35:30
on getting as close as humanly possible to the money printer.
35:34
So they could benefit from the money printer, and the
35:37
incentives are not aligned, and I think that this is an in, this
35:40
is a symptom of those incentives.
35:43
Not being aligned anyways. After you, what are your
35:46
thoughts, bro? Well, to your last point, you
35:49
know, I'm going to take a very contrarian view on this.
35:52
I'm very glad that lives. Elizabeth Warren is pushing this
35:55
because everything she touches dies.
35:57
So, you know, let's just hope that that history continuously
36:00
plays out. No.
36:01
But seriously, I mean, the propaganda is really strong
36:03
right now. It's like so hot, the flood
36:05
Bitcoin and we know where they're coming from.
36:07
We know that the environmental flood is wet.
36:11
It's like the lowest hanging fruit.
36:13
It's and its climate Fudd. And The ft x explosion.
36:17
And so we know that they're going to be using these excuses
36:20
for as long as possible. And then, you know, I just kind
36:24
of want to jump in as well. And I know we do all our best to
36:27
stay as bipartisan as possible. But it is very interesting, how
36:30
aggressive the Democrats are viewing Bitcoin and attacking
36:34
Bitcoin. When you think they would be
36:35
endorsing Bitcoin because I want to upload, oh God.
36:38
I want to push, I want to push back on that a little bit.
36:41
The, the Elizabeth Warren, bipartisan, bill was it It was
36:45
bipartisan. So there's a senators are
36:47
Republican senator, and it was, you know, a Democrat.
36:50
No, I agree, but it's more like the whole Biden administration
36:53
at large, is kind of what we had Trump.
36:56
That also said to him, when we, he hated behind my laid out, the
37:01
context that we are bipartisan, I will rip on both sides of the
37:04
aisle just trust you me. I'm just saying right now, this
37:08
is where we are in Eco, but anyways, I think this is kind of
37:12
back to the point that we always talk about the that you
37:15
basically, Ugly always say, you know the amount of hula hoops at
37:17
bitcoiners and Bitcoin companies need to jump through is
37:21
ridiculous. Like I know I've bitcoiners we
37:23
hold ourselves to a high standard but like why must
37:27
Bitcoin and Bitcoin companies be held to a higher standard than
37:29
other Industries. When we know that Bitcoin is a
37:32
tiny tiny Market in comparison to every other industry and yet
37:36
it is the most green industry out there like this is on
37:39
contentious guys. Like Bitcoin does help the
37:42
energy grid, Bitcoin does help planet Earth.
37:44
We've seen this This consistently happen in real
37:47
time. We bring the receipts all the
37:49
time, but I think it's just back to what we say.
37:51
Bitcoin exposes all incentives. And you know, if your
37:54
incentivizes by the Fiat system, then you're going to bash
37:57
Bitcoin. So hey, just keep chugging
37:59
along. Keep plugging in the Asics and
38:02
keep doing what you do out there Bitcoin miners.
38:04
Absolutely, amen. Beautiful, Greg what's your take
38:06
on this and then we'll move on to Ms life.
38:08
Yeah, well I mean all politics aside and I agree with that.
38:14
It's both sides of the It is, it's insulting.
38:17
Actually it really is that I believe these politicians throw
38:23
the Fudd because they know they have the power to dictate The
38:27
Narrative call. I call it propaganda, whatever
38:30
we want to call it, but they know, they can dictate The
38:32
Narrative. They know they can get their
38:33
voice out there and they know whatever they say.
38:38
I don't know what the percentage is, but a lot of people are just
38:40
going to digest the the twenty second sound bite on the on the
38:44
national news. Use and take that to sleep with
38:47
them at night and it's insulting because we are all intelligent
38:52
as well. And like the information is out
38:55
there. The the facts have been proven,
38:59
you know, so I'm getting a little bit tired of having, you
39:02
know, these people continue to just ignore the facts, ignore
39:06
the work that's been put in and continue to drive these
39:08
narratives that you know it's to their own benefit.
39:11
They want to keep the system the same way it is they're close to
39:14
their close to the money printer.
39:15
And they're quite frankly, taking advantage of the
39:19
population at large who are busy doing their jobs, they digest
39:24
the sound bites, and it's literally a psyop mass
39:28
formation. You know, psychosis if you will
39:30
and the politicians like Elizabeth Warren has taken
39:33
advantage of that and it's disgusting.
39:37
Yeah, 100%. It is absolutely disgusting.
39:39
A completely agree with you. I'm as Bitcoin life.
39:42
What are your thoughts on this, bro?
39:44
I thought you have soliloquies would terrific but I thought you
39:49
were way too generous. Look at guys, you guys are young
39:52
young fellas. I got probably 25 to 30 years on
39:56
you. I don't have time to be
39:58
generous. It's all F and bullshit.
40:01
You gave them the benefit of the doubt for a year.
40:03
Terrific, gave me better that operate, too much great.
40:07
They are trying to crush everyone except the people that
40:11
are close to the money printer. They're trying to steal our
40:14
Wealth by inflation, the hidden tax.
40:17
So everything you see there is no coincidences they had trying
40:21
to crush it. They obviously, this is so
40:24
disruptive, they know their game is over.
40:26
If this wins. So forget about the benefit of
40:29
the doubt, it is war. They are trying to crush it and
40:33
we need to fight percent and the way.
40:38
And the way that we fight ladies and gentlemen, is taking your

41:56

42:09
to talk about today? Let's go.
42:10
Well, we have the boys from Mass adoption and you know me, I love
42:16
talking about better ways to orange pill people and me, and
42:19
Emmas Bitcoin had a great conversation beforehand.
42:23
So we'll probably rehash some of this stuff on the shelf for the
42:26
people out there. But I think, first and foremost,
42:30
Can you guys just tell the people what your goal is at Mass
42:34
adoption? And then we'll get into some of
42:36
this other information that I have over here.
42:38
So, I don't know. MSR, Greg, whoever wants to jump
42:41
in, what is mass adoption and what are your goals?
42:44
I'll jump in first, you know, it's pretty simple, quite simply
42:49
Mass adoptions mission is to help spread freedom and
42:53
sovereignty around Massachusetts, the state and
42:58
Beyond its borders. And do our part to help spread
43:02
those things around the world and the way we do that is by
43:05
introducing people to bitcoin. What, what Bitcoin can do to
43:13
enhance someone's life. And the hope that it brings to
43:17
to those who are struggling in the existing system.
43:21
We also it's also an outlet for those people who are bitcoiners,
43:26
who want to hang out with other Bitcoins because we all know we
43:29
don't always We have someone at home or close by and a friend
43:34
group that is also a bit corner at this point.
43:37
So one of the things we're really proud of is giving
43:40
people, an outlet to come talk to other bitcoiners and
43:43
strategize and it's amazing to see the energy in the room when
43:47
we have our meetups and you know, we've seen it firsthand,
43:51
we've seen people come to our meetups and say, hey thanks for
43:55
doing this because I've been sort of feel out on an island.
43:58
I've learned a little bit About this.
44:00
But now I'm learning more and it's just exciting to be around
44:03
other bitcoiners to know that you know, that I'm not crazy and
44:07
to have a support system and to figure out ways to incorporate
44:11
it deeper into their life, into their work.
44:14
We have some entrepreneurs who run their own businesses, who
44:16
have started to adopt Bitcoin, in their, in their work and to
44:21
accept payments through lightning.
44:23
So, we're seeing, you know, real real life tangible evidence of a
44:29
small meet up. That's getting bigger every
44:31
month having an impact on the people we serve.
44:35
So it's exciting. Yeah, that's awesome.
44:38
And Ms, I want you to jump in as well because we before the show
44:41
we were having this conversation about starting your own Bitcoin
44:45
meet up and what the you know, how to do that.
44:48
But also I'd like to kind of have you do that little rant
44:51
about Merchant adoption that we had in the beginning.
44:53
So hey this is your floor, jump in bro.
44:56
Well first of all I just to add on to what Greg said Mass
44:59
adoption. And is a sort of multi siloed
45:03
company in, it's all about orange.
45:06
Killing people, we do Mass. Adoption means Massachusetts.
45:10
But the double entendre is, it means everybody.
45:12
So it plays throughout the world or place locally, so we do it by
45:16
a few different ways. And one of the it started with
45:20
doing meet up, so we typically hold a me, once a month, every
45:25
third meet up, we have a speaker.
45:26
We've been lucky enough to have Greg Faust.
45:29
We've been lucky enough to have Jason Larry speak and lucky
45:32
enough to have BJ dichter, speak.
45:33
We've been lucky enough to have Larry Lepard speed.
45:36
So, we've got some great speakers, and we're very excited
45:39
to announce our April speaker. We won't do it yet, but you guys
45:42
will love who speaking in April. So we do it by hosting meetups,
45:47
but we also do it by teaching people how to start a Meetup.
45:51
So for example, one of the guys that came down all the way from
45:53
New York to our Meetup. A couple months ago, I said well
45:56
why don't you start a Meetup in New York?
45:58
He said what was all shit corn? Around me and no one wants to
46:02
go. So we're working with him is to
46:05
give him the tools to start the local meet up in his top.
46:09
And I said, just get a couple of your friends, go to a bar, start
46:13
a Meetup page, it's important to start a me to page through
46:16
meetups so you have a foundation to start with and start it and
46:20
it will grow and it will grow. So, we facilitate and try to
46:24
teach how to do meetups. We also because I have many
46:29
years of experience, It's working in retail.
46:32
I have a very strong connection and knowledge base of merchant
46:35
services and credit cards. Our next goal is to orange pill,
46:39
merchants in merchant pill adoption.
46:42
So we're working with the merchants right now.
46:43
They probably do a couple million dollars in business.
46:46
We have our it team working on a seamless solution so that their
46:49
customers can pay with Bitcoin on the lightning Network.
46:54
So we do it by meetups, we do it by merchants and we also doing a
46:59
festival, the Spring late spring early summer and it's basically
47:05
it's a Freedom Festival powered by Bitcoin.
47:08
So it's not so much a Bitcoin vessel, it's a Freedom Festival.
47:12
There's going to be food trucks. There's going to be vintage
47:14
clothing, there's going to be. We're partnered with Bitcoin
47:18
beats and need Creations. He's running all the music.
47:21
So there's going to be Bitcoin music.
47:24
We're in topics, Ibex? Yeah, well I Baxter's helping to
47:28
support our lightning. Payment system.
47:30
So, we're working with Ibex for a seamless solution for all the
47:34
vendors to accept Bitcoin. We haven't finalized the talk to
47:38
us. He's running around the world
47:39
trying to orange pill, all the ranchers.
47:42
By Texas has said he wants to be involved in bringing down the
47:45
Cattlemen's. Barbecue down to the city of
47:47
Boston. And we also love it that you
47:50
know, 1776 and the Tea Party was a very important date in our
47:56
country's society and here we are back in Boston.
48:01
Trying to fight the peaceful revolution in 2023.
48:05
I love it, man. And I love it.
48:07
And just to your just to your point about the, the Freedom
48:10
Festival. This is something that I've had
48:12
conversations with other bitcoiners, one of my personal
48:14
friends, Joe Rogers, and we kind of have the same the same
48:17
perspective and what we try to do here on simply Bitcoin of
48:20
like, look, I know it's bitcoiners love to talk about
48:23
Bitcoin with, with other bitcoiners, but I think it's
48:26
upon us to try to get other people that are free to minded
48:29
into Coin. So I really love that initiative
48:32
and I don't know what's up. What's up in your guys's
48:35
Journey? Getting new people into Bitcoin?
48:37
Is it, are you getting positive responses or are you guys just,
48:41
you know, beating your head against a brick wall?
48:44
Well, you know, I treated two days ago, I got a tweet from one
48:48
of my friends is a big attorney in Boston and and he said to me,
48:53
let's have dinner again soon and then he wrote.
48:55
And I'd love to talk Bitcoin to it's when one of my truth he
48:59
said I said At first, I thought it was bullshit but I think we
49:02
should start talking. So I just think it takes a lot
49:05
of touch points and something's got to click in people's heads.
49:09
You can't jam it down their throat.
49:11
So I like to take a softer approach in disgust like, sort
49:15
of generic things like, you know, how do you like that?
49:18
You go to work, trade your time for money, so you can buy the
49:21
things you want. But the people of the top can
49:23
just push a button, sit back and collect Monopoly money and Rule
49:27
your life, you know. Does that upset you, do you
49:30
think? That's your change.
49:31
And then I go down the Bitcoin thing about the scarcity in the
49:34
immutability, and the Encompass capable when, you know, all the
49:37
Emma limited supply of that stuff.
49:39
So I don't try to go out them head-on because during the
49:42
Legacy world, they're making their money in the Legacy role
49:45
in the Fiat world. They're not going to accept
49:48
that. If you go in and say, do you
49:50
think it's right? That the, the elite don't have
49:53
to work for the money. They print a paper, all the
49:55
stuff they're spending on like Wars and everything else where
49:58
we have to go to work and we can spend our time.
50:00
I'm so I try to do it that way. Awesome.
50:04
Yeah, Greg you want to jump in a little bit.
50:05
I had some to set, you know, it's it's it's the it's a little
50:08
bit of both, you know? There's still there's still some
50:10
people that look at me. Like I have two heads when I
50:13
when I bring up my my passion for Bitcoin.
50:16
And how I think it's going to change the world.
50:19
But, you know, I think less and less of that every time, the
50:22
months on Stick by. And so, I think it's becoming
50:26
more mainstream like people. It's in the Consciousness a
50:29
little bit. We got to keep pushing pushing
50:31
it, because now I do have some Stations with people and you
50:34
know, they go yeah, yeah, I've heard you know, I haven't gotten
50:37
into that yet, but that's like a door open, you know.
50:40
And then and then you can like Jeff says everyone can
50:43
understand the pain and like the sort of suffering of like, hey,
50:50
I'm working harder, you know, like, where's the contract?
50:53
Like I feel like it's broken. I was told if I focus, I work
50:56
hard. I roll up my sleeves and I put
50:59
in an honest, you know, days work that I should be able to
51:01
earn like an honest living. And it's not working out that
51:05
way, you know, people are just and they're sort of questioning
51:08
themselves. Why is this happening?
51:10
I'm doing my part why. I am I still feeling the Stress
51:13
and Anxiety on Sunday nights? And it's like well because the
51:17
money is broken and people are starting to understand that and
51:20
they are seeing the inflation and they're saying, oh, the
51:22
money's broken, well, we need a money.
51:25
That is as scarce as our time and as precious as our time,
51:29
because if you're trading your precious time, you better get
51:32
something as Precious and as hard and as finite in return,
51:36
and that's the contract, we all believe in.
51:39
And that's the what we've been told from day one, you know,
51:41
from our parents, from our grandparents, put in the work,
51:44
you get an honest pay and then you can do what you what you
51:47
need to do to serve your family or you know, whatever else comes
51:50
after that but it's like no it's not working that way and people
51:54
are waking up to that. So I'm excited about that
51:56
because that's where Bitcoin comes in.
51:58
They it is the hardest money and it is finite and it matches are
52:03
It's just time and no one can no one, No One's Gonna argue that.
52:06
You know everyone has a different amount but everyone
52:08
has a beginning and an end and that's finite.
52:11
I love it man. I love the message and also I
52:13
love that you know some people were joking in the chat.
52:17
This is Nico and Opti in the future in 2043 and I love I love
52:23
how not only does Bitcoin Bridge, you know, race and
52:27
cultured also Bridges age and what?
52:30
All on the same Mission, we all see the same problem.
52:33
It's the money. Stupid fix the money, fix the
52:35
world. And this is what we're all here
52:37
for. This is the mission that we're
52:38
all on. So kudos to you guys Nika, you
52:40
want to jump in and then we could move into the memes.
52:43
Yeah man, so many, so much bullish.
52:46
You know, like and I love that we're on the same Mission and
52:50
we're on the same mindset and exactly what Opti said like they
52:53
like, yeah, there might be aged different.
52:55
You said it earlier Ms. Bitcoin life or maybe a 30 year Gap but
52:59
we're all were in sync and I think that is the Bitcoin
53:03
effect. It's absolutely beautiful.
53:05
And this ladies and gentlemen is why we will win.
53:08
Bitcoin is the common language of the world.
53:12
Does it matter if we don't even Zeke doesn't mean it doesn't
53:14
matter if we don't understand each other common, denominators
53:18
Bitcoin. And it's absolutely beautiful.
53:20
And I think I really believe in my heart.
53:22
It's going to make the world a better place.
53:23

57:46
Bs for several years. Yes, shocking.
57:49
Very shocking. Bitcoin hasn't died and it just
57:52
continuously goes up. This next one, this is back to
57:56
the idea of bringing in more people into The Fray of Bitcoin.
58:01
This guy at Bots do, he's followed by my friend Joe
58:04
Rogers. And it back to this idea,
58:06
there's a lot of freedom communities out there and
58:08
there's slowly starting to wake up to the idea that houghtaling
58:11
Bitcoin is freedom. Quinn, accumulation game is
58:14
freedom and more people are going to jump on this bandwagon.
58:18
Anyways the meme here is it's a knock on the come and take it
58:22
Meme and other the come and take it flag.

Yeah, in my younger days but I have a special place in my heart
58:46
for Play-Doh because I wouldn't be here it.
58:49
He taught me how to think. Anyways, I agree Play-Doh what's
58:51
a big corner and we got this, quote, from Plato.
58:53
And he goes those who are able to see beyond the Shadows and
58:56
lives of their culture will never be understood.
