BREAKING: Chase Bank BANS Bitcoin Payments & Purchases | EP 832 · Simply Bitcoin

0:06
It's all. Going to zero against Bitcoin.
0:10
It's going up forever. You're against Bitcoin.
0:20
You're against freedom. Yeah, welcome to Simba Bitcoin
0:24
Live. We're your number one source for
0:25
the peaceful Bitcoin revolution. For breaking news culture, Matic
0:28
Warfare. We will be your guide through
0:30
the separation of money in state.
0:32
Speaking of the separation of money in state, pretty crazy
0:38
news coming out of the United Kingdom.
0:43
It seems like Chase UK to block Bitcoin and altcoin payments,
0:50
citing fraud scams. Starting October 16th, the bank
0:54
will decline customer attempts to make payments related to
0:59
crypto assets. We also have the screenshot of
1:03
the supposed e-mail that was sent out.
1:06
Now you know they cite fraud and they cite all these reasons.
1:09
But remember what I told you guys yesterday about the iron
1:13
law of central banker and politician projection?
1:18
Maybe it applies to bankers too. That they accuse of.
1:22
They accuse us of what they are guilty of themselves.
1:26
So Chase doesn't exactly have the cleanest track record in
1:30
terms of the things that they've been involved with.
1:34
But again, I think that this is a warning shot across the bow,
1:40
just like when Apple forced Noster to remove zaps from the
1:45
platform. It's it.
1:48
It highlights the fact that. A lot of people, the way that
1:52
they get their Bitcoin is through payment platforms,
1:58
brokers, right, that connect with the traditional financial
2:01
system. And This is why Corey wrote that
2:06
piece. The race to avoid the war, the
2:10
way that we really avoid this is the the way that we really avoid
2:17
this is. By the way, that we really avoid
2:24
this is by by pushing mass adoption very quickly because
2:32
the more we push mass adoption it becomes a forcing function,
2:36
right? So if a politician is running on
2:39
an anti Bitcoin on an anti Bitcoin stance then.
2:49
If the majority of the population are a big portion of
2:52
the population are holding Bitcoin, obviously that
2:54
politician is not going to run on that stance.
2:57
In fact, there's politicians that are now running on a pro
3:01
Bitcoin anti CBDC stance because of bitcoins popularity in the
3:06
mainstream. So yeah, this is a warning, this
3:10
is a shot across the bow and you know, Chase is a big bank.
3:14
I know it's only happening in the UK.
3:16
But there are also things that are happening in the UK that are
3:20
they're quite also, you know, shots across the bow.
3:24
The socalled UK Online Safety bill is, you know, it's pretty
3:32
scary like that letter that that Parliament sent Russell Brand
3:36
asking for Russell Brand to be demonetized.
3:40
Man, oh man, you know, that's that's what I got to say about
3:42
that. So.
3:45
Yeah, that's that's where we are.
3:47
We're going to cover, We're going to break down all the
3:49
details from Chase, you know their track record of some
3:53
things that they've some sketchy things that they've been
3:55
involved in themselves and and yeah, it's going to be a good
4:00
show overall. We're going to break it down.
4:02
Remember guys, this is the separation of money and state.
4:04
I want to bring up my legendary cohost.
4:07
Always optimistic. How you doing Opti?
4:09
I'm doing wonderful bro. Had a couple cups of coffee.
4:12
Now I get to hang out with my buddy talking about Bitcoin.
4:15
How could I be bad? You know, life's great, life is
4:18
wonderful. I hope you guys are having a
4:20
good day out there. Good start of your morning.
4:22
Good morning everyone. And yeah, crazy news coming out
4:25
from the UK and Jamie, Dimon and Chase.
4:28
So we will see what what happens from this and obviously I've
4:33
said it before and I think we were talking about this
4:34
yesterday in spaces all day. It's just the standard playbook
4:38
coming out FUD Bitcoin so that they can stack their bags and
4:41
obviously protect you from yourself citizen.
4:43
So just very interesting stuff. And then on that note, I've been
4:48
meaning to do what I normally do, so I'm reminding you guys
4:52
I'm here once again. To talk about Bitcoin wallets
4:56
that I like that I think you guys should be downloading.
4:58
We've had people in the chat asking if this wallets good, is
5:01
that wallet good? Well, I am not the arbiter of
5:04
what the best wallets are. So maybe during the culture guys
5:07
drop what you think your best and favorite wallets are.
5:09
And I got out. I even got a bunch of hardware
5:11
wallets here. I will name the names guys and
5:14
we'll get you what I think are the best wallets so you guys can
5:17
download them. And of course, I'll do this
5:19
every once in a while with more people.
5:21
Come on the show as I see more people asking the same
5:23
questions. So forgive me guys if I am
5:26
repeating myself, but there's people asking these questions in
5:29
the chat every single day now. So we're going to do Beauty on
5:34
Proud today and talk about wallets.
5:37
Absolutely, man. Dude, I love that.
5:39
So, so guys, the taking self custody is the revolution like
5:43
that. That's just the reality of it
5:45
and you know. If you want to, if you take self
5:53
custody of your Bitcoin, you're part of this thing whether you
5:56
realize it or not. Like that's how powerful this
5:59
movement is because it's all about taking back your financial
6:01
sovereignty. And you know, Elizabeth Warren
6:04
is saying the quiet part out loud.
6:06
She's basically saying like, hey, like you know.
6:12
With the proposed bill that she introduced in Congress that she
6:16
just got nine other senators to to support.
6:20
Obviously the probability of this bill passing is pretty low,
6:24
but still in that bill like it literally specifically targets
6:28
quote UN quote the unhosted wallets.
6:30
And the reason that they call them unhosted is to try to make
6:33
it like as if unhosted is abnormal and the hosted wallets
6:38
are normal. And the hosted wallets are a lot
6:41
easier for them to Co opt right, because it's just a central
6:44
thing that they can just reach out and say, look guys, you have
6:47
to give me that Bitcoin, you have to censor that Bitcoin.
6:50
But if up if millions upon millions of individuals are
6:53
holding their own keys becomes very difficult for the
6:56
government to enforce a ban #1 and #2 to crack down and seize
7:03
all these people's Bitcoin. Like that's just the reality.
7:05
So if you take self custody of your Bitcoin.
7:09
And if enough people do, if a if a big portion of the population
7:13
does it, then what what it will inevitably do is move the
7:17
balance of power right from the individual, from the state back
7:22
to the individual. And I don't think we've lived in
7:24
an era in in human history like that, you know.
7:26
And that's why we bring up the book, the sovereign individuals,
7:29
so, so much. Anyways, it's going to be a
7:31
great show. Really looking forward to it.
7:34
Opti, did you say what we're gonna talk about during the
7:36
culture? Yeah, we're gonna talk about
7:37
wallets and self custody. OK, I'm excited.
7:41
Let's do it. Everybody.
7:45
The Bitcoin numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
7:49
really secure? Is your seed phrase really
7:52
secure? Stamp seeds?
7:53
Do it yourself. Kit has everything you need to
7:56
hammer your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates
8:00
instead of just writing them on paper.
8:03
Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
8:06
Papers prone to water damage. Fire damage.
8:09
You want to put your generational wealth on one of
8:11
the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
8:14
Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
8:18
hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
8:21
aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
8:24
apart and pieces falling everywhere.
8:26
Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
8:30
produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
8:32
waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
8:35
All things that paper is not. Not allowing you to huddle your
8:38
Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
8:41
Stamp your seed on stamp. Seed.
8:44
All right, everybody. Yes.
8:46
Sorry I did not sleep last night.
8:48
I was up till 3:00 in the morning.
8:52
I'm trolling Mika Mika Fried this morning.
8:55
Anyways guys, I made it easy for you guys.
8:58
Scan the QR code on your screen and it will take you directly to
9:01
the Stamp seed website where you can get.
9:03
You can store your generational wealth on one of the strongest
9:06
metals on planet Earth, Titanium.
9:08
Use promo code simply to get 15% off anything on the Stamp Seed
9:13
website. At the time of recording, the
9:16
Bitcoin price is 26,230 sats per dollar, 3812 block height,
9:24
809,449 blocks to having 30,551 having estimate.
9:32
April 21st, 2024 Total Lightning Network capacity 4404 Bitcoin
9:39
capacity value 115 million U.S. dollars Realize monetary
9:44
inflation 1.75% The market capitalization of Bitcoin $511
9:52
billion of the B Bitcoin versus gold market cap 3.98%.
9:57
Realize monetary inflation is my favorite stat out of all this
10:01
because it continues to embarrass Fiat currencies and
10:04
that number is going down forever.
10:06
Laura, he didn't say that, but it still sounds kind of good.
10:10
Anyways, everybody, I want to play you this video by that was
10:13
posted by Jamison Lap. And here's Ron Paul, the man,
10:17
the myth, the legend himself. He started the movement in the
10:20
United States. He started the whole rhetoric of
10:22
ending the Fed identifying the issues.
10:25
Of the government being able to print money for free that
10:28
everyone else has to work for. Let's take a look at what Ron
10:32
Paul the great Ron Paul has to say.
10:34
There is no other power greater than the power over money.
10:37
The power to create and contract the money supply, the power to
10:41
control the purchasing power of your money.
10:45
Throughout history this has proven to be the most sought
10:48
after monopolistic power of man. It has become more sophisticated
10:53
over the decades and over the centuries, more sophisticated
10:56
now and more international in scope than ever before.
11:00
So I see the issue of power and the control over money as being
11:03
something that we cannot ignore, we must address.
11:07
I believe closely associated with this is the issue of
11:10
morality as well, by what moral right we have to create
11:14
purchasing power out of thin air, whether it's done by the
11:17
creation of credit or Federal Reserve notes, or whether it's
11:20
the creation of SDR's in an International.
11:23
By what right do they do this? Is it any more moral to dilute
11:27
the value your purchasing power, the money you hold in your
11:30
wallet, than it is for the farmer to dilute the milk supply
11:33
with water? I would say there's an issue of
11:36
morality here just as strong as the issue of power.
11:41
Okay. I mean with the epic music on
11:43
top of that I think hit the nail on the head, right.
11:47
The, you know talk about morality, talk about you know
11:50
this God like power that has been sought after that that you
11:55
know that that governments that states that kings, you know
11:58
they've they've wanted the control of money.
12:01
Look. A lot of people don't like
12:03
having the money conversation because the money conversation,
12:07
especially in the Fiat world, it like implies like this, like
12:10
ugly connotation. Like it's, it's, it's, it's
12:13
attached And you know, it's like, oh, I don't like to talk
12:14
about money. You've heard that expression
12:15
before, right? But the reality is, and my mom's
12:21
told me this before, she's like Nico, like whether you like it
12:24
or not, money makes the world go round.
12:26
And why, right. That's how every transaction,
12:29
you know there's there's a form of money that's being used.
12:34
It, you know, businesses like if you pay for good or service, you
12:38
have to use money, right? Anything that, you know, the
12:41
microphones we're using right now, the restream that we're
12:44
using, YouTube, my laptop, right.
12:47
All of those things I've had to purchase with money.
12:51
You know, the exchange, the exchange for a product for
12:55
something that I'm buying and I and I give money in return and
12:59
then that's how that business operates.
13:01
Now, the base layer of society, how it is right now, and how Ron
13:06
Paul correctly pointed out is fundamentally corrupted to the
13:09
bone. It's it's it's a broken base
13:12
layer and that has very, very deep consequential effects to
13:20
the rest of society. Whether it even if it's not
13:24
money related, like you can make the case.
13:27
That morality has degraded because of broken money.
13:31
You can make the case that the Pharmaceutical industry has
13:34
degraded because of, or has been corrupted because of, broken
13:38
money. Easy money.
13:39
You can make the case that the quality of products has gone
13:43
down because of broken money. If you look at frigerators from
13:47
the 1950s, they're made of fucking steel.
13:50
And those bad boys, some of them, they still work, right?
13:54
So if you look at the things and products that were made under a
13:57
sound money standard, those products kind of still like you
14:01
know, a lot of them still work till this day, right.
14:04
And that's all about you know and why does that happen?
14:06
Well, because of of of, of shrinkflation and what it was
14:12
essentially that means is like obviously if you are a company
14:17
you want to keep your prices. Around the same level so that
14:21
you aren't, you know you aren't charging your customers more
14:24
money, therefore your sales go down.
14:27
So then what you do is you start cutting corners.
14:29
So like if you see toilet paper rolls from like 5-10 years ago,
14:34
right, they have more toilet papers, paper rolls in the
14:37
package than the toilet paper rolls today.
14:40
Same thing applies to hot dog buns.
14:42
And same thing applies to products right?
14:45
Especially the products that keep the prices at the at the
14:47
same the prices. Around the same level.
14:52
So yeah, man, the like the the inflation, the theft of people's
14:58
purchasing power, Better said the theft of people's work, time
15:01
and energy is horrible and it enables atrocities, it enables
15:07
the endless wars, it enables the social programs that that you
15:11
don't agree with. I think it's the primary cause.
15:14
Are one of the primary causes of of the crazy wealth inequality
15:19
in the United States, right? That is literally Fiat.
15:23
Like every time they print money, it's a wealth
15:25
redistribution mechanism from the haves, from the have nots to
15:29
the haves and also back to the government.
15:32
They're stealing from you. That's, that's literally what
15:35
it's about. And This is why Ron Paul is so
15:37
legendary. And we're standing on the
15:39
shoulders of giants. Because.
15:42
He correctly identified this problem a long time ago, before
15:46
it was popular. And I remember one of his most
15:50
famous speeches was talking about, you know, the war in
15:53
Iraq. And every and at the time that
15:57
was very unpopular, what he was saying.
15:58
But everything that he said that he predicted about the Fed.
16:04
But the war in Iraq turned out to be true, man.
16:06
So yeah, this is. I think this is common sense for
16:10
bitcoiners. Because I think that because
16:14
we're on the Bitcoin standard, I think because of the base later
16:18
in the operating system that we're using, because it is
16:21
anchored to the truth by proof of work.
16:25
I think we're I think think some, I think it makes not only
16:29
does it help you economically, but I think it it's good for the
16:33
soul, man, it's good for the soul.
16:35
I don't know Opti, is that too much of A stretch?
16:40
Did I not get enough sleep last night where I'm talking?
16:44
No, I mean I I say it all the time bro.
16:45
Like it does sound woo woo when you say like Bitcoin is good for
16:48
the soul. But I don't know my life's
16:50
gotten so much better since I've gotten on the Bitcoin standard.
16:52
I I just tuned out so much noise because most of the stuff that
16:55
we do consume from mainstream media, whether it's popular
17:00
culture or whatever, it's really noise.
17:02
It's all superficial and. You know, shout out to Wu Tang,
17:06
though, because I was reminded of cream.
17:08
You know, cash rules everything around me, you know, my mother
17:11
taught me the same thing, Nico. Maybe it's a Latino thing where
17:14
where it's rude to talk about money, but I just, I just find
17:17
it. I don't know what the right word
17:19
is. Maybe ironic that the very thing
17:22
we're told not to talk about is the very thing that is the
17:24
problem in the world. And I absolutely love Ron Paul's
17:29
metaphor of if you diluted milk with water, people would freak
17:32
out and call it fraud. And yet no one wants to talk
17:34
about the fact that printing money is literally diluting your
17:38
purchasing power with fake Iou's with paper money.
17:41
And this is the root of the problem.
17:43
The people that have the money printer are able to allocate
17:47
this fake literally printed out of thin air papers.
17:50
And purchase real hard assets and also push money towards
17:55
things that no one would ever agree to like.
17:58
This is the madness that we are finding ourselves in, and we
18:02
cannot emphasize this enough on the show that printing more
18:06
money makes you poor like. Full stop continuing to double
18:10
down on this idea guys, because most people still don't
18:12
understand the mechanisms of money out there.
18:15
They don't understand how the feel out world works.
18:17
They don't understand what their money is.
18:19
Actually, a little story time. I was having this conversation
18:21
with my friend. He's also a bitcoiner.
18:23
And you know we were trying to get our 10K steps and shouts out
18:26
the Stephen Loca and we kind of got on the idea of like man, it
18:30
really blows my mind that most people do not understand money.
18:33
They don't understand what's going on in the world right now.
18:36
And obviously we kind of concluded that is by design is
18:39
because not only is it by design that we don't understand how
18:42
many works, but also people take for granted the idea of money.
18:46
Everyone of us has grown up with money.
18:47
We've probably. You know, have touched money
18:50
before we even understood anything about the world.
18:53
You go buy a candy bar, whatever.
18:54
So you just, you just take it for granted.
18:56
You take it forgiven. And then there comes a point in
18:59
your adult life where you don't have the money printer on your
19:02
side and you're struggling for money and you're wondering, how
19:05
do I get more of this money stuff?
19:06
And then maybe one day you get to the point where what is money
19:10
and what is inflation? And that's the fundamental
19:13
question that most people need to ask themselves.
19:15
What is money? Because we take it for granted.
19:17
We just want more money. None of us ask the very simple
19:21
question that Bitcoiners have asked What is money?
19:23
What is the best money? What money should I want to be
19:26
holding? Obviously this is simply
19:28
Bitcoin, and we think the best money is Bitcoin and the
19:32
dilution of your purchasing power by them printing more
19:35
money. We were covering this in spaces.
19:37
You know what? I think it was September 16th or
19:40
something. Sometime in the early weeks of
19:43
this September, in the year 2023, we finally passed $33
19:47
trillion of debt. I repeat, $33 trillion of debt.
19:51
And I think since that day they printed like 100 billion more
19:55
dollars in like a week. It's like, what's false?
19:58
So he says it's 11th grade math. They can't stop printing money,
20:03
which means you will not. Get richer.
20:06
By holding Fiat money, you will literally get poorer.
20:09
This is mad. They can't stop printing money.
20:11
They have to keep printing money to keep the system going.
20:14
And so I know this may be like rudimentary elementary for you
20:18
bitcoiners that been around for a while.
20:19
But as I've been saying, there's a lot of new people catching on
20:22
to the show and there's new people wondering what the hell
20:25
is going on. And it's literally very simple.
20:28
It's the money. It's always been the money.
20:31
They are stealing your wealth. They're stealing your future
20:33
because you are holding melting ice cubes.
20:35
As sailor always says, Fiat is not a way to store value.
20:38
It is literally designed to steal at minimum 2% from you
20:43
every year. And I think now we're at what,
20:44
like 4%? Like this is not sustainable.
20:47
You need to hold hard assets and the average person doesn't have
20:51
money to buy real estate. They don't have money to buy
20:53
yachts and jewelry and Rolex watches.
20:56
They need something that they can hold that will not get
20:59
diluted. And of course that is Bitcoin.
21:02
You could literally buy a penny of it, like you can buy a dollar
21:05
to the people out there that are like, I don't have money to buy
21:08
assets, You can literally start buying a dollar of Bitcoin a
21:12
day. Obviously you're going to have
21:14
to up your cash flows, but you need to hold assets.
21:17
You need to hold hard assets, things that cannot be diluted.
21:20
And of course, the best way for the average person to do that is
21:25
to hold Bitcoin. And even on the the other side,
21:27
we've seen what sailors been doing.
21:29
He's a billionaire. And he's like, yeah, I need more
21:31
of this Bitcoin stuff because they can't dilute my purchasing
21:34
power. It's so simple.
21:36
It's always been about the money.
21:37
The more they dilute the money, the poorer you will get, the
21:40
harder your life will get. You want to live a good life,
21:42
you need to hold some Bitcoin. You might want to catch some,
21:46
just in case it catches on. Anyways.
21:47
My, my, my rent's over today, Nico.
21:50
I love this topic because it's so simple and this is the
21:53
fundamental question that most people need to ask themselves.
21:55
What is money? Why am I getting poorer?
21:58
Why is it hard for me to buy groceries?
22:00
Why is the same bag of groceries I was buying last year cost
22:03
more? Well, your purchasing power is
22:05
dwindling because they are printing obscenes amount of
22:08
money. Tell your mother, your your
22:11
grandmother, your friends, your girlfriends, whoever.
22:14
Everyone needs to know this fundamental basic axiom of
22:18
society and the economy. The more they print, the poorer
22:20
you get. Exist.
22:21
Simple. This is the basic problem guys.
22:24

for you guys. Scan the QR code on your screen
24:15
right now. It will take you directly to the
24:17
Foundation Devices website where you can get yourself a Passport
24:22
hardware wallet. You definitely don't want to
24:23
miss out. All right, guys, today, this is
24:25
the big news. This was an e-mail that was sent
24:28
out to one of Chase's customers in the United Kingdom.
24:33
I said Chase hates Bitcoin. Chase hates freedom.
24:36
Chase hates humanity. It's a very strong statement,
24:39
but I stand by it anyways. It goes on to say our policy
24:43
around crypto is changing. Here's what it means for you.
24:46
Hi. To help keep your money safe
24:47
from fraud and scams, we're changing the types of payments
24:50
you can make from Chase. From 16 October 2023, if we
24:54
think you you're making a payment related to crypto
24:57
assets, we'll decline it. If you'd still like to invest in
25:01
crypto assets, you can try using a different bank or provider
25:04
instead, but please be cautious as you may not be able to get
25:07
the money back if the payment ends up being related to fraud
25:11
or scam. Please head to our website for
25:13
more info about how to protect your money.
25:16
We've made this decision because fraudsters are increasingly
25:18
using crypto assets to steal large sums of money from people.
25:22
Declining from from declining these payments is one of the
25:25
ways we're helping keeping we're helping keep you and your money
25:30
safe, right? This came from the same banks
25:32
that charge you a monthly fee, right?
25:34
Just to keep your money there while they make money off of
25:36
your money. This also, you know, what about
25:40
keeping your money safe from inflation, right?
25:42
That's never talked about. And not to mention also Chase
25:47
has not necessarily the best track record.
25:50
Here was the infamous case that come out.
25:52
It came out a couple years ago, Ship seized, Ship seized in $1.3
25:58
billion. Cocaine Bust is owned by JP
26:01
Morgan Chase. I'm not even kidding, OK, maybe
26:05
JPMorgan didn't know about that, but they definitely knew about
26:08
this, which is JPMorgan Chase and Co agrees to pay $920
26:13
million in connection with schemes to defraud precious
26:16
metals and U.S. Treasuries markets.
26:19
It goes on to say so again. Right.
26:24
So this bank, right, whether you know, it's the, you know, drug
26:28
bust that was related to a ship that they owned?
26:32
You could say okay, maybe they didn't know anything about that.
26:35
You can't deny the fact that, look, they're, you know,
26:38
apparently they defrauded some of their customers.
26:41
They defrauded the, you know, the market.
26:43
You don't really hear them talking about that.
26:46
And you know, this is a troubling trend.
26:48
This is a trend that has been going on for a while now, at
26:51
least here in the United States. And Nick Carter wrote this very
26:54
very famous piece Operation Choke Point 2.0 where he laid
26:58
out all the different moves, whether by a Senator Elizabeth
27:02
Warren Signature Bank, the Fed FDIC you know joint statement on
27:07
the wrist to banks engaging with crypto right.
27:11
You know Silvergate, stock falls finance, the Federal Reserve
27:15
denies Crypto Bank, custodia, 2 year application.
27:18
You know, so it goes on and on and on and on about different
27:21
things. You know that has.
27:23
Been happening over a multitude of things and remember Caitlin
27:32
Long came on simply Bitcoin IRL and she made the case that.
27:37
The custodia, her bank, her Bitcoin and alcoin bank was
27:42
denied a federal banking charter which would make her competitive
27:45
with the best of with the rest of the banking industry and that
27:48
order came directly from the White House.
27:50
So I wonder how much this chase, you know, this chase, this chase
27:58
block on Bitcoin and and. And crypto payments and altcoin
28:03
payments. I wonder how much is, is it
28:05
politically motivated? Because these are the same words
28:09
and this is the same framing that, you know, the Biden
28:13
administration used that the governments have been using As
28:16
to why, you know, Bitcoin is so dangerous and crypto is so
28:20
dangerous, right? They, they cite fraud, they cite
28:22
financial stability, and that is very, very similar.
28:25
Now we always say on the show Bitcoin or slavery, right?
28:29
And I truly, truly mean that. I think we're, we're heading
28:32
into this world and I think this is just another warning, right,
28:36
this, this chase to block crypto payments, right.
28:39
So now bank is choosing what you can and what you can't do with
28:43
your money, right? And there's this law that was
28:46
passed in the UK. So and it's always under safety,
28:49
right? They love that word.
28:50
Chase, use that word. The UK Parliament use that Word
28:54
Online Safety bill and that has empowered the UK government to
28:59
censor speech and censor people that they don't like.
29:04
Here's an article from Exposed News.
29:06
Rumble could be banned in UK law under new online safety laws.
29:10
Why are they going after rumble? Will Rumble specifically denied
29:15
the request by the Parliament? Which was written saying, look,
29:21
you know, this was a that we read that we read this to you
29:23
guys a couple days ago. A request made by parliament to
29:27
Russell Brand to demonetize his content and rumble denied it.
29:34
So, like when we mean Bitcoin or slavery, we're not exaggerating.
29:37
If they can't even trust you with information, if they're not
29:41
okay with certain information, what makes you think they're
29:45
going to be okay with you using? Your own money.
29:48
Independent money out of their control.
29:52
So this is another step. This is another warning shot
29:55
across the bow. How long until another big bank
29:58
follows? How long until potentially all
30:00
banks follow? And this is precisely why we
30:04
have to win the race to avoid the war anyways.
30:07
Opti, what's your thought on all this, brother?
30:11
Yeah, well, to be honest, Nico, I think you're a little too nice
30:14
to them. I mean, of course the banks are
30:16
here to protect you, citizen. Like, how can we even doubt
30:18
this? No, I mean, guys like, come on,
30:22
we already know. And I say it all the time.
30:24
We brought the receipts on the show.
30:25
The real criminals use Fiat. The real criminals are the
30:28
bankers. If if we're being you know, very
30:31
honest here and and you know kind of a contrarian take here.
30:35
Criminals are always on the cutting edge of technology and
30:38
of course they want the best money in the world.
30:40
So maybe there is an insight there to the chase e-mail and
30:45
like a gang guys, you know I've been saying this for a while.
30:48
We know the standard blue blue playbook.
30:50
Sorry FUD Bitcoin. Stack your bags finally embrace
30:56
Bitcoin and let it run and let the price go up and everyone
30:59
profit. And maybe I'm misremembering,
31:04
but Jamie Dimon has been very anti Bitcoin for a long time,
31:07
but I thought I saw something about him being somewhat
31:09
favorable recently. Again, maybe I'm misremembering
31:12
and conflating some other banker out there, but of course the
31:16
bankers don't want you holding Bitcoin like.
31:19
And furthermore, this is them shooting themselves in the foot
31:22
like people are going to want Bitcoin.
31:25
And it just goes to show that people do want Bitcoin if
31:27
they're trying to stop the exit route.
31:29
Again, what did Christie Lagarde say?
31:30
If there's an exit route, people will use it.
31:33
So we have to stop it. So, you know, we constantly talk
31:38
about the separation of money and state.
31:41
And for the people out there that may not be able to connect
31:43
the dots, considering Chase is a private company and they can do
31:46
whatever they want, let's not forget that we basically living
31:50
in a corporatocracy. Corporations call the shots.
31:53
Corporations own everything. They're the ones paying the
31:55
bills guys. So this is obviously and again
32:00
you brought up the Nick Carter article and we had Caitlin Long
32:05
on here talk about Custodia a lot of times.
32:08
And of course the powers that be will try to stop the on and off
32:12
ramps. And of course the banks are
32:14
going to try to stop the on and off ramps because an outright
32:17
attack from the state is obviously bad PR in in their
32:21
regards. Because I say it all the time.
32:23
Anyone that tries to stop you from using Bitcoin, that is
32:27
either corporation or a state just proves our point.
32:31
In general, you want to have a money that is outside of their
32:34
control, that is censorship resistant, that literally a
32:37
small cabal of people can't stop like this is a feature not a
32:40
bug. So of course they don't want
32:42
Bitcoin to gain traction. And as I always say, you know,
32:45
can't ban Bitcoin, can only ban yourself from Bitcoin.
32:48
So if Chase double s down on this, it's their own destruction
32:52
and and they're they're making their own bed and they'll have
32:54
to have fun staying poor eventually because people want
32:57
Bitcoin. The silver lining here is people
32:59
want Bitcoin and they're literally trying to alter human
33:02
behavior. Obviously the market out there
33:04
is people wanting Bitcoin. Of course they're gonna roll out
33:07
an example of like oh you know, scammers and fraudsters want
33:10
your Bitcoin. So we're gonna protect you.
33:12
When really the signal here is they're probably seeing a lot of
33:16
capital outflows going towards crypto or Bitcoin companies and
33:21
shitcoin companies and they're trying to stop the exit route.
33:24
And we see this happen all the time guys.
33:26
And as you can see there's been more and more interest since
33:30
what the last bull run in the corporate press and in
33:33
mainstream consciousness around Bitcoin.
33:35
So they're going to do anything they can to slow this from
33:38
happening, which is of course try to stop the on and off
33:41
ramps. But bitcoiners will find a way.
33:44
Humans will find a way to use the best money possible because
33:49
we are getting poorer by using their their money.
33:52
So why would we stop using Bitcoin when it's the only
33:56
safety net we have? It's the only exit route that is
33:59
possible right now. So, you know, Chase wants to
34:03
double down, stop UK citizens from from downloading Bitcoin.
34:07
On the one hand, it just shows that UK citizens do want
34:09
Bitcoin, and on the other hand, it just shows how much of A
34:11
shithole the UK is like, they do not like freedom at all over
34:14
there. And there was one signal in
34:17
there that is very interesting that they even said it in that
34:21
e-mail. They said something on the
34:22
lines, if you don't like this, find another bank.
34:24
Oh yeah, of course. Like.
34:27
Yeah. But what happens if that?
34:28
What happens if there is no other banks?
34:30
Like that's the issue. Yeah, I know someone was saying
34:33
in the chat that literally no UK banks allow you to buy Bitcoin
34:36
or shit coins and that's, you know, that is the threat here.
34:41
And of course a coordinated attack from all the private
34:44
entities will inevitably lead to them coordinating against
34:48
Bitcoin. And it just goes to show like
34:51
peer-to-peer payments are the way you need to get Bitcoin any
34:56
way possible. You know, provide your services
34:59
for Bitcoin, transact with your friends in Bitcoin, do whatever
35:03
you can to get Bitcoin. Like they cannot stop this, They
35:06
can only shoot themselves in the foot.
35:07
But it really does go to show that there is a very nefarious
35:12
and dark coordination out there for people to stop Bitcoin.
35:16
And it just goes to show why we need Bitcoin in the 1st place.
35:18
And money that is outside of their control, that they cannot
35:21
dilute, that is censorship resistant.
35:24
What more do you need? Like, to me, this is pure signal
35:27
that people need to hold Bitcoin.
35:29
And it really makes me wonder whether people, the average
35:32
person out there, will see this news story and be like, yeah,
35:36
Bitcoin's dangerous or like us contrarian, maybe negative
35:41
people in regards to the governments and stuff.
35:43
It's like, wow, this is my cue for me getting more Bitcoin.
35:47
Like this is my cue for me understanding Bitcoin.
35:49
And actually, Nico, I was hoping you'd play that Russell Russell
35:53
Brand video. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
35:55
That was going around where he was talking about all this stuff
35:58
and he had a guest on and he's like, this is the stuff that
36:03
wakes me up to why I need Bitcoin.
36:06
And I really just hope that more people are out there when they
36:08
see this. They don't just eat the headline
36:11
hook, line and sinker and they're like, wait, my my Spidey
36:14
senses are tingling and I might want to get some of this Bitcoin
36:17
because they are so afraid of it.
36:19
And it's almost like the banks and the corporations, at least
36:22
the mega crony capitalists out there, mega crony corporations
36:26
out there are the fucking problem.
36:28
Sorry for cussing, but man, it just it seems so simple.
36:32
It it seems so simple to me. And of course, we didn't even
36:35
touch on the CBD PCs. Like of course they're going to
36:37
stop people from going into Bitcoin.
36:40
Yeah, right. So that they can eventually roll
36:41
out a CVDC system. They want to shut off the the
36:44
escape valve, right? That that's like, that's for
36:48
sure. And then most importantly you
36:52
know they don't want competition, right.
36:54
So it's like like like beauty on says Bitcoin or death.
36:59
I say Bitcoin or slavery like it's becoming like.
37:04
Excuse me. Incredibly obvious that that's
37:07
where we're going, right? You can't, you can't do what you
37:11
want to do with your money. They are forcing you, like,
37:14
under the guise of safety. That was the same reason they
37:16
passed that bill. To use the money that seals from
37:20
you. Like that is absolutely effing
37:24
bonkers. Like, think about what I just
37:26
said. That is absurd.
37:28
That is insane, right? So yeah, man, I I, I don't, you
37:33
know, like this is crazy, but you know, This is why taking
37:36
Bitcoin into self custody is so important.
37:38
This is why you should learn how to deal with peer-to-peer
37:42
transactions. Because, you know, I I think
37:45
that this, that this transitionary period from a Fiat
37:49
standard to a Bitcoin standard might be a bumpy one.
37:53
Anyways guys, before we get on to the culture, I want to give a
37:56
very special shout out to our sponsor.

Visit swanbitcoin.com today. All right, guys, before I before
39:08
I do this bit, drop your favorite wallets.
39:12
But whether they're mobile, desktop, hardware wallets in the
39:14
chat and we'll we'll go through some of them as well.
39:17
So I've been seeing a lot of people talking in their chat,
39:21
new people, new names. They keep asking me what, what
39:24
do you think about this wallet? Is this wallet good?
39:26
You know, should I get like what about a paper wallet?
39:29
You know what? What should I be doing?
39:31
Is this wallet safe? And I constantly try to do this
39:36
bit. Well, I don't try.
39:37
I do do this bit constantly on the show.
39:39
I think it's it's, it used to be like every three months.
39:42
Now it's becoming like every other month.
39:43
I might have to do this like every other week now for people
39:46
out there, all the new people coming and there's levels to
39:50
this. As we're talking about on
39:51
today's show, the fundamental thing you guys need to be doing
39:54
is taking Bitcoin into self custody.
39:56
I really don't care how you get Bitcoin, you'll hear people in
39:59
the chat say get only non KYC Bitcoin.
40:02
We understand that there's some people out there that can only
40:06
get KYC Bitcoin because of the, you know, because the way my
40:08
baking cuts set up, I understand.
40:10
Personally, I really don't care get Bitcoin.
40:13
I need any way possible KYC non kyc peer-to-peer.
40:18
I have my friend biking controlling me right now on
40:20
Twitter saying me trying to get paid in Bitcoin.
40:22
If you can provide your services and skills and goods for
40:26
Bitcoin, do that. You know, pay your friends back
40:30
in Bitcoin. So to me, it doesn't matter how
40:33
you get Bitcoin, just need to hold on to Bitcoin because the
40:36
constant problem going on right now is your Fiat, whether that's
40:41
the American dollar or any other paper money in the world, is
40:43
constantly getting debased. This is the fundamental problem.
40:46
So you want to hold some money that cannot be debased.
40:48
So if you are, you know, holding some Bitcoin on an exchange
40:53
right now, well personally the meme is it is not your Bitcoin,
40:56
not your keys, not your Bitcoin. You want to hold Bitcoin under
41:00
your own custody, as we say, self custody.
41:03
I'm kind of leaning towards just you want to hold Bitcoin in
41:05
custody, in personal custody. And by that it means you know
41:09
you need to have 12 to 24 words that you can always recover to
41:14
get back to, you know, handling your Bitcoin.
41:17
And usually I think this does come in steps.
41:21
I I think there's an incremental process to taking custody of
41:26
your Bitcoin and and withdrawing your Bitcoin from an exchange.
41:30
Usually I think the best route for most people is downloading a
41:34
wallet on your phone. You know, mobile wallets, hot
41:37
wallets. They may not be the safest for
41:38
long term storage, but I think any custody is better than
41:41
leaving them on an exchange. So first and foremost guys, at
41:44
the very least download a Bitcoin wallet on your
41:48
smartphone and take your Bitcoin off the exchange.
41:53
But of course, I I will kind of give you some best practices.
41:56
Actually, I'll do it right now. Usually the best way to do this
41:58
guys is, you know, download a wallet.
42:00
I'm gonna give you what I think the best wallets are, and then
42:03
you send a little bit amount of Bitcoin, like a dollar.
42:06
I mean, you know, $5, just something that is minor.
42:09
Send it to your wallet, Make sure your seed's backed up.
42:13
Literally reset your wallet after you've written the words
42:18
and make sure you can access that one to $5.00 of Bitcoin.
42:21
And once you get there, then send all of your Bitcoin over.
42:24
That's like PSA, that's like basics, Simple basics guys, You
42:28
want to be able to back up your Bitcoin, make sure that your
42:30
seed phrase is backed up correctly so that you can access
42:34
your Bitcoin correctly said. OK, so first and foremost, what
42:38
wallets do I like I see people are telling some some stuff in
42:41
the chat and I'll cover those after I I'm stopped ranting.
42:44
Personally, I think my my daily driver right now and it's been
42:47
for a while is blue wallet, but I also use green wallet and
42:50
there's nunchuck which is absolutely incredible and those
42:54
are mainly on chain wallets, you know you know BTC layer one.
42:58
And then for some of you that are a little more advanced maybe
43:01
you want to move Bitcoin a little quickly around.
43:04
There is lightning wallets that also have on chain capabilities
43:08
to them. There's Moon wallet, there's
43:10
Breeze wallet, there's a wallet of Satoshi.
43:12
Yes, I know it's custodial, but hey it works and if you're
43:15
sending a normie to a a Bitcoin wallet, you want it to work
43:20
guys. You want it to be quick.
43:21
So don't don't get too ideological, don't get lost in
43:24
the weeds on a normie. Just send them to like blue
43:28
wallet or wallet of Satoshi. That's probably the best things
43:30
you guys could be doing for your normally friends.
43:31
I know there's there's there's trade-offs and you're going to
43:35
have to eventually tell them all the trade-offs, but you want it
43:38
to work on their first go. But if you're a Bitcoin here and
43:42
your bitcoins been on an exchange, then all these mobile
43:45
wallets will work for you again. Try them, download them, see
43:48
which ones you like the best, and then start propagating those
43:52
Bitcoin wallets and get more people to download.
43:53
So again, there's Blue Wallet, there's green Wallet, there's
43:56
Nunchuck, there's Moon, there's Breeze, there's Wallet of
43:58
Satoshi, there's Phoenix. And if you hold, have your own
44:02
lightning node then download Zeus.
44:05
And my my newest favorite wallet shouts out to my boys over at
44:09
Mutiny Wallet. It still is in beta, but I
44:12
absolutely love the wallet and I support my friends.
44:14
So those are mobile wallets that I recommend and I and I'll see
44:18
what you guys are saying in the chat as well.
44:20
Next there's desktop wallets. This is a good way to kind of
44:26
straddle the line between a hot wallet and a cold wallet.
44:29
Of course there's Bitcoin Core. Download Bitcoin Core.
44:32
I feel like that's the ride to passage.
44:33
Everyone should download Bitcoin Core.
44:35
Download the block, the entire blockchain, you know, get into
44:39
initial block downloads. You can even prune it.
44:41
You don't need that much access or that much space on your
44:44
computer. Every computer that is on the
44:47
market can download Bitcoin Core.
44:49
Then there's like what Nico likes.
44:50
Nico's an Electron Junkies Electron.
44:52
Maxi's been using it forever, doesn't want to change.
44:54
Hard headed Bitcoiner highly recommend it.
44:57
My newest favorite ones, which I think have a lot of capabilities
45:01
I think most of you guys should download is Spectre or Sparrow.
45:05
Actually I'm more of a Sparrow maxi than Spectre, but Spectre's
45:08
been improving a lot. So again, on your desktop, on
45:12
your laptop, download either Bitcoin Core, Electron, Spectre
45:17
or Sparrow. Those are the ones I recommend.
45:19
I'm sure there's some new ones on the block.
45:21
I haven't tested all the wallets, but that is what I
45:24
would be using. That's what I'd recommend
45:25
friends to use. Again, there's tradeoffs.
45:27
Some have nicer interfaces, some have other capabilities, just
45:32
try them yourself guys. And some are just tried, true
45:35
and tested like Bitcoin Core and Electron.
45:38
Next is hardware wallets and again there's a lot on the
45:42
market you you might have your own favorite ones.
45:46
I am just telling you the ones that I've used, the ones that I
45:48
literally have right here with me and they are coming at
45:52
different price points guys and and I'll do some some honorable
45:55
mentions as well. Of course everyone knows that
45:59
Block Stream Jade was one of our sponsors.
46:01
I got the transparent green one here for the price point.
46:05
The block stream jade might be the best entry point for for the
46:09
person that maybe doesn't have an obscene amount of Bitcoin but
46:13
also wants to take Bitcoin into self custody using a hardware
46:16
wallet or hardware signing device.
46:18
I think they're 50 bucks. Still like for that price point
46:22
you kind of can't beat it. The next for similar price
46:25
points is the seed signer. We have a lot of friends that
46:28
are seed signer Maxis. I literally built this one
46:30
myself. You can download the parts off
46:32
the shelves. Again, there's some trade-offs,
46:34
but if you're going to Uncle Jim, your friends and family, a
46:37
seed signer might be the best one because you could.
46:39
Literally. It's stateless.
46:40
You can literally add as many wallets on this as possible.
46:44
You can even pass it around to your friends and and they won't
46:46
be able to access your Bitcoin seed signer and jade on the
46:49
lower end of the price spectrums.
46:52
Probably your best choice if you are just getting your toes wet
46:56
into Bitcoin self custody using hardware wallets.
46:59
The next ones is of course I have you know, the Foundation's
47:04
passport by foundation device that our newest sponsor.
47:07
I think this thing is sexy. It looks so pretty it looks like
47:10
an old Nokia phone and everyone trolls us like oh can you play
47:12
Snake on it? I don't know.
47:13
Can we? I wish.
47:14
Me, I think. I think.
47:16
I think you can. Yeah, right.
47:18
Like these things are just cool. They look cool.
47:22
They look very normie friendly. A normie will look at this open.
47:25
Source. They're open source exactly.
47:28
Do the whole plug. Nico, do you have the whole
47:29
plug? Yeah, dude, they're open source.
47:33
Like, obviously, like, I've known.
47:35
I've known the founder for a very, very long time.
47:37
He's a great guy. Great.
47:39
On Trump Entrepreneur this is the second iteration.
47:42
Highly recommend this hardware wallet.
47:45
They have a concierge service, so like if you're getting new,
47:48
if you're like new to Bitcoin and you would like you, all this
47:50
stuff is like daunting to you. You can set up a call with them
47:55
and they'll walk you through self custody.
47:57
All that. And then there's an app that you
48:00
can connect with the Foundation hardware wallet called Envoy.
48:05
Yeah, and you know, that makes it extremely easy just to kind
48:09
of deal with the device and whatnot.
48:10
So yeah, definitely recommend the Passport by foundation.
48:14
You could check out the video. So you could check out the
48:16
description in the in the video and the video.
48:18
You could check out the link in the video description.
48:22
All right, next one is probably what every Bitcoiner's favorite
48:27
hardware wallet is out there. It's the cold card.
48:30
It's like it's basically the the industry standard and probably
48:33
if this is the one you guys are all recommending.
48:36
The thing about these ones is their price points.
48:38
These ones are in around like the 150.
48:41
I know the foundation is around $200.00.
48:43
With all the Nicks and gadgets, I think I forget well how much
48:46
the cold card is. But it I think it's around like
48:48
$140.00. But you're gonna have to buy
48:51
some addons and stuff and you can buy, you know, multisig
48:54
packages and all that stuff and again, multisig.
48:57
You can connect them all together and use them for
48:59
multisig setup. And you don't have to trust any
49:02
single wallet manufacturer. This is the way the next ones
49:06
are kind of the honorable mentions, you know, there's the
49:08
bit box they sponsored us in the past.
49:09
It looks pretty cool. If you have an Android phone,
49:12
you can literally plug it into your Android using the USBC if
49:15
that's what you want to do. Usually we like to recommend,
49:19
you know, the the air gap one so they never touch the Internet.
49:23
That's the way. And then Nico, I do have a
49:26
treasure here. I don't know if I'd recommend
49:27
the treasure one, but you know, for the price point, some people
49:31
would like to use it. It has been around for a while.
49:33
I have given them to friends, but now I think I'm going to
49:36
just if I'm going to give a friend a hardware, well, I'll
49:39
probably just buy them like a Jade or something just because
49:41
it's so cheap. That's the hardware wallets
49:43
guys. So again, do I have to run it
49:46
down or you can you guys remember, let's see, let me see
49:50
what people are saying in the chat.
49:52
Actually here, Nico, jump in. Of course, we do this bit every
49:57
once in a while. There's new people in the show.
49:59
I know this is kind of like it's kind of.
50:02
Elementary it's kind of like it's like pick your poison
50:05
right? Like you know like it's it's
50:06
really like a preference which which hardware wallet you want
50:11
to use. Obviously we're a big found.
50:13
We're a big fan of Foundation in the Passport.
50:17
But, you know, it's kind of like to your preference and that's
50:20
the beauty of Bitcoin, right, is that, you know, it's it's it's
50:23
open source, right? Like everyone could kind of
50:25
just, you know, an entrepreneur could just put together a
50:28
hardware wallet, a software wallet and you get to choose as
50:32
an individual which device that you want to use, right?
50:35
And they all have trade-offs. They all have pros and cons.
50:38
And you kind of have to decide. It's a very personal choice what
50:42
hardware wallet you want to use. All right, perfect.
50:46
All right. So some people are asking, what
50:47
about this wallet, that wallet, like I gave you, the wallets
50:52
that I like that I've used, that I can personally recommend
50:55
because other bitcoiners have recommended.
50:57
So if I didn't name them, maybe think twice before taking
51:02
Bitcoin into self custody using those wallets.
51:05
But we have a few in here so let's go Frank R and he goes
51:07
moon wallet. We have John Pleb he says seed
51:09
signer plus Sparrow. Tyler Durden says Sparrow and
51:13
mutiny. Let's see agent Gold says love
51:18
my Sparrow with cold card. We got cold.
51:21
Actually I just realized I should probably not docks or
51:23
guys as set up. So I'm just going to name some
51:25
off. Cold Card.
51:27
Block stream Jade Block stream Green Blue Wallet.
51:31
Block stream Jade checks all the boxes for me at $65 Wallet.
51:35
Satoshi Treasure Blue Wallet Ellen Bits Yeah, Ellen bits is
51:38
cool bit box 2 combined with Sparrow.
51:41
Let's see you can scan three separate keys to sign a multi
51:45
sig on one device to a seed signer.
51:47
Let's see seed signer. We got some of Y'all blue wallet
51:56
plus seed signer. Phoenix wallet.
51:59
Wallet of Satoshi to get them in the door Ellen Blix it and
52:04
Phoenix on own Ellen node. All right, so you guys get the
52:08
deal, someone at OPTI says. I wonder if this is Conferenica
52:11
is told me simply Bitcoin what's your favorite desktop wallet?
52:14
I really like Sparrow. I just like the interface.
52:17
It. I don't know.
52:18
It's got everything I want. I don't.
52:20
Use Electrom is dope. Sparrow is dope.
52:23
But there's the beauty of it is the beauty of open source.
52:25
You get to pick and choose. You know your poison.
52:28
What you what you wanna you what you wanna you.
52:31
Bitcoin Core, by the way, has not been mentioned.
52:34
No, I mentioned it. OK.
52:36
You mentioned Bitcoin Core. OK, all right.
52:39
We. I think you did beauty.
52:40
I was gonna be happy if he sees today's episode.
52:42
I think, you know, I think we we provided everyone with with a
52:47
variety of different tools and hardware devices to take self
52:52
custody of your Bitcoin. Sorry I'm laughing cuz Opti says
52:56
it's definitely Copernicus, he just docks himself.
52:59
Don't don't bring up the comment, but yeah Oh my God
53:03
guys, this is the whole thing. Just a one last bit.
53:06
Like you need to take Bitcoin into self custody.
53:09
And the beautiful thing about the Bitcoin ecosystem is there's
53:12
a lot of entrepreneurs out there working on this very issue of
53:15
taking Bitcoin into self custody and doing it in a way that is
53:20
not only easy and comfortable, but is safe and secure.
53:24
So these are the wallets that I'm using, you know, these are
53:27
the ones that I recommend, that I will recommend to friends.
53:30
I told you the mobile wallets that like, I'm only recommending
53:34
to you guys what I use and what my friends that I trust that
53:39
are, you know, Uncle Jim's in their own respects would
53:41
recommend. So if I didn't recommend the
53:44
wallet, I see some people recommending stuff, I I wouldn't
53:48
trust them. I'm not the arbiter of final
53:50
truth here, but I've been around a while and these are the stuff
53:53
that I use, that I use every day that are, you know, part of my
53:56
cold storage setup and these are the tools that I like guys.
54:00
So this is what you guys should be doing.
54:03
The only thing that matters guys is taking Bitcoin into self
54:06
custody. There's tradeoffs to them all.
54:09
There's features that you might like on one and not the other.
54:12
You know there there's a lot of contention in the space and this
54:14
is the beauty of a free market out there, that entrepreneurs
54:17
will build stuff. You the market will have to try
54:20
them. You the market will have to
54:22
recommend them. So there's different price
54:24
points and I'll I'll constantly do this for people, but at least
54:27
you have some tools, some actionable tools here of taking
54:31
Bitcoin into self custody. And that's the whole thing that
54:34
matters guys is you need to take Bitcoin into self custody guys.
54:39
And then also, well, we haven't even got into running a node,
54:42
but that'll be the next step in UT XL management.
54:46
Definitely get yourself get your hands on a start nine.
54:49
That's the one I personally use. You could build one you know
54:52
there's other companies as well like our previous sponsor not
54:55
all you know it's again it's it's your choice.
54:58
I personally use the start nine. Personally use the the
55:01
foundation passport. It's awesome.
55:03
But you know you gotta you gotta pick your poison.
55:05
You gotta you gotta go with what makes.
55:08
You happy? And that comment is absolutely
55:11
hilarious. All right, everybody, let's get
55:13
to the meme review. The Daily Meme Review All right
55:24

55:40
Excuse me? We're getting a lot of
55:42
notifications on the Simply Bitcoin TV account now, so maybe
55:46

55:52
Join the Telegram group we broke 1000 on Telegram.
55:56
Let's go shouts out to Darth Armadd.
56:02

56:04

56:08
there. Go hang out on there T dot me
56:11

56:14
Drop the the tweets. Or I mean sometimes you could
56:17
just drop the meme and if it's a good one I'll I'll put it on the
56:19
show somehow. Anyways, tweets of the bullets,
56:22
memes of the artillery. We are in an information war and
56:25
you are frontline soldiers so continue to spread the signal.
56:29
Continue to incept the idea of freedom into the minds of the
56:34
masses and help them escape the Fiat matrix.
56:38
Anyway, actually on a totally other point, I saw this, I saw
56:41
this. It was basically a meme and it
56:44
was saying how a lot of content creators influencers out there
56:48
are basically just not really giving you actionable advice and
56:53
and they're just trying to pump their numbers and and you know
56:56
get traffic to them. And it made me realize just like
56:59
how much I love our show Nico is because we cover the news, we
57:03
keep you informed but also we constantly try to give you as
57:07
much not only Bitcoin advice but life advice is possible so that
57:11
you can be a better person. This is the whole thing about
57:14
this journey is becoming a better person, living a good
57:17
life, saving a Bitcoin, getting your wealth right, getting your
57:20
mind right, your body right, all of that stuff.
57:23
And it really just makes me, makes me understand because
57:26
we're doing a good job over here.
57:27
I don't know that totally side tangent, but anyways, here's the
57:30
memes. First and foremost is Maxi's
57:33
club and it goes 532 BB and it goes.
57:37
If you are looking for a sign this is it, buy some Bitcoin,
57:42
you need to have some Bitcoin. And we got a little bitcoiners
57:45
over here, and we even got a bitcoiner.
57:47
What a big. Corner is it?
57:51
Yeah, it looks like it. Looks like it.
57:52
All right, next one. Staying humble and staying
57:56
solvent. This next meme is by Svetsky
57:58
rights, and it goes running #eath.
58:02
And we got this running eath and it looks like vitallic, but like
58:06
drained of life and just like barely able to run.
58:09
And then we got running BTC and we got this mega Chad just
58:13
burning it, putting the burners on run a Bitcoin note.
58:18
This is all we got to say. This next one is by der Gigi and
58:20
he goes bring back freedom of speech.
58:21
As we're seeing constantly there is an active fight against
58:25
freedom of speech. Say what you want about Elon
58:27
Musk and and Twitter or X but freedom of speech is obviously
58:32
becoming a defining conversation right now and I've recently
58:37
doubled down on nostir. I really like nostir.
58:40
I even did a tweet like it blows my mind that I can do a tweet
58:42
and people send me sats. Like it really blows my mind.
58:45
Like don't do that but I will take your sats.
58:47
It just like it blows my mind it.
58:49
Anyways Gigi goes bring back freedom of speech and he goes a
58:54
meme here. It's like it looks like you know
58:56
my my cousin here of Avato going into a portal and it goes, it's
59:02
Twitter but you get paid question mark #gnoster and then
59:06
someone goes, I know, so he's going into the Gnoster portal
59:09
because like bro, it really blows my mind you know bit on
59:13
Twitter for what since 2017 never gotten a sat for a tweet
59:19
You don't, you get me? We are getting paid now though.
59:24
I know, but but I'm talking my personal account.
59:26
My personal account on on Twitter.
59:30
Dude, you put a good thought. People send you Sats.
59:33
Anyways, I'm sure you guys saw all the drama yesterday about
59:36
bit boy getting arrested. That was fucking nuts and
59:41
everyone was talking about it. Well shout out to Kaperna
59:43
because his son 6 on Twitter and he just goes popcorn and here's
59:47
a live shot of him when he was getting arrested and he goes it
59:50
was at this moment he realized he should have stayed humble and
59:53
stacked sad and staying solvent. You know, again guys, I I don't
59:58
like to kick a horse while it's down but that's a good meme you
1:00:01
know stay humble. Stacks that stay solvent.
1:00:03
This is the way. Anyways, this next meme is by
1:00:05
the BTC therapist and he goes fix the money, fix the.
1:00:07
World Hashtag BTC and I think we've seen this one for a while,
1:00:12
but I don't know, maybe it's hitting harder considering
1:00:15
recent events And he goes. My parents in their 30s buy a
1:00:18
home, start a family. Me in my 30s buy Bitcoin, fix
1:00:21
the world, buy a home and start a family in that order.
