Is Mark Zuckerberg a Bitcoiner?! | EP 845 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:07
  It's. All going to zero against
• 0:09
  Bitcoin. It's going up forever.
• 0:19
  You're against Bitcoin. You're against freedom.
• 0:23
  Yeah, welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live.
• 0:27
  We are your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
• 0:29
  revolution. Code breaking news culture,
• 0:31
  Matic Warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:33
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:35
  Mark Zuckerberg? Well, he didn't say directly,
• 0:39
  but someone A top Facebook executive by the name of David
• 0:46
  Marcus. Said that, Mark Zuckerberg is a
• 0:50
  bitcoiner and you'd say okay. What does that matter, Nico?
• 0:54
  Well, the context matters. Why he led to the inevitable
• 0:59
  conclusion of Okay. You know, maybe this Bitcoin
• 1:02
  thing is pretty cool after all. And then not to mention the fact
• 1:05
  that he is the CEO of a public company and massive public
• 1:10
  company that has a whole lot of cash on their balance sheet.
• 1:14
  And if they have a whole lot of cash on their balance sheet?
• 1:17
  With the latest inflation numbers, they are literally
• 1:20
  bleeding cash. Bitcoin is, you know, a Bitcoin.
• 1:25
  Bitcoin could save Facebook, also known as meta these days, a
• 1:30
  whole lot of money. But other than that, the
• 1:35
  interesting point and we're going to play you guys a clip in
• 1:39
  the clip comes from the The great What Bitcoin Did podcast
• 1:43
  by Peter McCormack and. How they came to that conclusion
• 1:50
  and the reason they they they came to realize, oh wow, this
• 1:55
  Bitcoin thing is the real deal, is because they tried to launch
• 2:01
  Libra. They tried to launch DM, which
• 2:03
  is the cryptocurrency that Facebook tried to launch, and
• 2:07
  they wanted this global adoption for it and it was shut down by
• 2:11
  governments. They stopped it.
• 2:12
  Remember, governments did something very similar.
• 2:15
  To PayPal, right. And they kind of Frankenstein
• 2:17
  PayPal because the original version of vision of PayPal was
• 2:22
  to basically give everyone around the world access to money
• 2:26
  online. And the reason that this is so
• 2:30
  significant is this is the exact same problem that Elon Musk is
• 2:34
  eventually going to run into because he does want to make
• 2:38
  xx.com Twitter into the into a global payments platform.
• 2:44
  But he's going to run into the same problem that PayPal run
• 2:46
  into, and he is. And he's going to run into the
• 2:48
  same problem that Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, now
• 2:52
  called Meta, run into, which is if it is centralized, it will
• 2:56
  inevitably either be shut down or coopted by governments.
• 3:02
  You need decentralization. As the Fidelity report pointed
• 3:08
  out yesterday, Bitcoins decentralization is unique.
• 3:13
  It's what makes it stand out amongst all the other altcoins
• 3:17
  on the market right now. So yeah, I think it is pretty,
• 3:21
  pretty significant. Now of course this is hearsay,
• 3:24
  right? This isn't Mark Zuckerberg going
• 3:26
  out and saying, oh, I like Facebook, This is a top
• 3:29
  executive at Facebook that worked closely with Mark
• 3:32
  Zuckerberg saying this. But look, just use common sense.
• 3:37
  Look at what happened to DM. Look at what happened to Libra.
• 3:40
  They were so hyped about that he had congressional committees
• 3:45
  where he was, like, grilled in front of Congress about what
• 3:47
  they were going to do. And of course, like, why was
• 3:50
  this happening? Why were they grilling him?
• 3:52
  Because it's not like they were. It's not like he was trying to
• 3:54
  do anything bad. He was like trying to provide
• 3:57
  value, like an entrepreneur. The thing is that governments do
• 4:00
  not like competition because their power stems from.
• 4:06
  Not only their monopoly on violence, but most importantly
• 4:10
  their monopoly on money, their monopoly on the controls of
• 4:14
  money, and also their monopoly on the creation of money.
• 4:19
  And now all of a sudden this thing, remember the the famous
• 4:22
  Hayek video this sly, roundabout way, where they can't, they
• 4:26
  can't make Bitcoin go away. And because they can't make
• 4:30
  Bitcoin go away, it's a forcing function and they have to
• 4:34
  compete with it. And they're going to get
• 4:37
  wrecked, which is why they hate it the way they do.
• 4:41
  Because if it's a if it's a competition and people have a
• 4:45
  choice between a mark, a currency that is not
• 4:49
  inflationary, it's actually deflationary increases in
• 4:52
  purchasing power over time. And if they had a choice between
• 4:56
  a currency that is inflationary and censored?
• 5:01
  What do you think people are going to choose over a long
• 5:04
  period of time? That's a one way door towards
• 5:07
  Bitcoin. Once you're on a Bitcoin
• 5:09
  standard, you ain't going back to Fiat.
• 5:12
  I don't think I've ever met one person that has ever gone back
• 5:15
  to Fiat. Once they've truly grasped
• 5:18
  Bitcoin, once they've truly taken self custody of Bitcoin
• 5:22
  and that's a large hop. It's difficult, I'm not going to
• 5:25
  lie, but once you get it. Once you take self custody of
• 5:30
  your Bitcoin, once you feel the magic of sending Satoshi's
• 5:34
  anywhere around the world, once you feel the the magic of the
• 5:37
  Lightning Network, right. Once you feel the the the magic
• 5:41
  of and and also the heart attack of recovering a wallet just by
• 5:45
  putting 24 words and you're like, holy cow, this is going to
• 5:49
  fundamentally change the world. You ain't going back right.
• 5:53
  So anyways, it's gonna be a great episode.
• 5:56
  I think this is another historic milestone.
• 5:59
  How you doing, Opti? Are you still in your dad's
• 6:01
  office? Yes, I am still in my parents
• 6:04
  basement guys. As you can tell, I don't have
• 6:07
  the studio behind me anyways. What's up, everybody?
• 6:10
  It's. Friday the 13th, guys.
• 6:12
  I hope some spooky stuff doesn't happen today.
• 6:14
  Things are things are getting crazy out there.
• 6:16
  But yeah, man, I I saw some of the inklings that you're talking
• 6:20
  about and and to your point. We say it all the time.
• 6:24
  I think if people have the choice between a full dystopian,
• 6:29
  tracked and bagged money versus freedom money, that Bitcoin is
• 6:33
  I, I I'm almost positive that people will always choose
• 6:36
  Freedom Coin AKA Bitcoin. So you know, I I have hope in
• 6:41
  people I don't know. This year kind of black pilled
• 6:43
  me a lot in in humans. For better or worse.
• 6:47
  But I I still have hope in people and I still have hope in
• 6:50
  the future hence why we are bitcoins hence why it's optimist
• 6:53
  fields because Bitcoin gives us hope.
• 6:55
  Bitcoin is hope guys and and I really do think that bitcoins
• 6:58
  incentives will trump all of the Fiat incentives and and someone
• 7:02
  said it in the chat which is kind of what I think as well.
• 7:05
  It's like you would think that name any top tech CEO of your
• 7:08
  choice would simply accept the inevitability of Bitcoin, or
• 7:11
  rather see the value in Bitcoin. But hey, here we are.
• 7:16
  Maybe it's kind of one of those things that we saw with
• 7:19
  BlackRock, where before the BlackRock endorsement, it didn't
• 7:24
  seem like it had legitimacy. And so people were afraid to put
• 7:27
  the reputations on the line and embrace Bitcoin, but secretly
• 7:30
  they're all stacking Bitcoin. So I think moving forward, it's
• 7:33
  going to become, like I said all the time, the defining
• 7:35
  conversation. Not only what is money, but are
• 7:39
  you a Bitcoin or do you hold Bitcoin like we could keep
• 7:42
  saying, you know, like? It's just very obvious that you
• 7:44
  can't hold Fiat. And if you're one of these mega
• 7:46
  corporations, not to use big words, but it would behoove you
• 7:50
  to hold some Bitcoin on your balance sheet and use the micro
• 7:53
  strategy strategy and make sure you got some holdings of the
• 7:57
  corn on your balance sheet or else it's gonna be it's gonna be
• 8:01
  a rough day because I I hopefully in the numbers are you
• 8:04
  bringing up that CPI chart that Brady had?
• 8:07
  The real one. We should we should I?
• 8:09
  Can put in for the memes. I could do it for the memes.
• 8:11
  We'll do it for the memes. Yeah, pull it up for the memes.
• 8:13
  Like when you see what the numbers are, it's it's
• 8:17
  absolutely mind blowing that anyone believes the Keynesians
• 8:20
  out there because the numbers are ridiculous anyways.
• 8:23
  Anyways, we'll we'll talk about that during the memes.
• 8:25
  Yeah, 100%. All right, everybody.
• 8:27
  It's gonna be a great show. Let's jump straight into the
• 8:29
  numbers. Let's do it.
• 8:30
  Here we go. The Bitcoin numbers.
• 8:36
  Is your Bitcoin and cold storage really secure?
• 8:39
  Is your seed phrase really secure?
• 8:42
  Stamp seeds? Doityourself kit has everything
• 8:45
  you need to hammer your seed words into commercial grade
• 8:48
  titanium plates instead of just writing them on paper.
• 8:52
  Don't store your generational wealth on paper.
• 8:56
  Papers prone to water damage. Fire damage.
• 8:59
  You want to put your generational wealth on one of
• 9:01
  the strongest metals on planet earth, Titanium.
• 9:04
  Your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this
• 9:07
  hammer and these letter stamps. And once your words are in, they
• 9:10
  aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking
• 9:13
  apart and pieces falling everywhere.
• 9:16
  Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat
• 9:19
  produced by a house fire. They're also crush proof,
• 9:22
  waterproof, non corrosive, and time proof.
• 9:24
  All things that paper is. Not allowing you to huddle your
• 9:27
  Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for the long haul.
• 9:30
  Stamp your seed on stamp Seed. Alright guys, I made it super
• 9:35
  easy for you guys. All you got to do is scan the QR
• 9:38
  code on your screen right now. It'll take you directly to the
• 9:41
  Stamp Seed website where you can get yourself a titanium seed
• 9:46
  phrase storage kit. You can use promo code.
• 9:48
  Simply, you get 15% off anything on the stamp seed website at the
• 9:54
  time of recording the Bitcoin price.
• 9:55

• 10:32
  market cap 4.09%. In the grand scheme of things,
• 10:37
  Bitcoin is still a tiny little bit.
• 10:39
  Baby, when the Bitcoin market cap reaches a gold market cap,
• 10:43
  which I think is gonna happen a lot quicker than people think,
• 10:46
  that puts the price of Bitcoin at $500,000 per coin.

• 11:13
  All right, everybody. So let's talk about today's
• 11:16
  video, which I think is a kind of a big deal, I'm not going to
• 11:20
  lie. So this is David Marcus.
• 11:24
  Let's take a look at who David Marcus is.
• 11:26
  Now he is the CEO and cofounder of of Light Spark, but he was
• 11:32
  part of Messenger at May at Meta, which is now Facebook.
• 11:36
  And he led PayPal for a while and he built three of the
• 11:40
  startups. And he's obviously an avid, avid
• 11:43
  Bitcoiner. So let's take a look at what he
• 11:46
  has to say and then we're going to connect the dots for you guys
• 11:49
  like we always do. Let's check it out.
• 11:51
  You can theorize a lot about. The experience we've had, but
• 11:58
  having lived it has changed my worldview and my appreciation in
• 12:03
  such a way that now I have this unshakeable conviction that
• 12:08
  Bitcoin is the only form of neutral Internet money there
• 12:11
  will ever be. And and it's one thing saying it
• 12:14
  because you have laser shooting from your eyes.
• 12:19
  It's another coming to that conclusion after having tried
• 12:23
  for the right reasons, I I believe for the right reasons.
• 12:26
  To build a technology that would scale to billions of people and
• 12:30
  that could provide a stable form of digital money that would
• 12:33
  travel on this new scalable payment system.
• 12:37
  And then you've come to the real you come to the realization that
• 12:39
  actually private companies issuing unit, a new unit of
• 12:45
  account of anything that has that kind of distribution is
• 12:50
  problematic. You might not want to answer
• 12:52
  this, but is Zuck a Is he a Bitcoin?
• 12:55
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He appreciates, he appreciates
• 12:59
  Bitcoin. But yeah, I think, you know,
• 13:03
  there, there, there was, there were.
• 13:05
  We had a lot of conversations about this.
• 13:07
  Yeah. Especially when I was struggling
• 13:12
  with seeing how we could decentralize this thing enough.
• 13:15
  We've had a lot of conversations and and the tension was between
• 13:21
  full decentralization and and the reality of.
• 13:25
  Scalability usability issues and then the volatility that we
• 13:29
  would have to put people through to enable them to use a product.
• 13:34
  So it was. And then when you look at very
• 13:38
  good currencies like the dollar and some will argue it's not,
• 13:42
  etc, but I think everyone in the world.
• 13:45
  I think you know we talked about your trip to Lebanon and other
• 13:47
  places where people what they want is to hold dollars and and
• 13:52
  when you have a good currency like the dollar, the volatility
• 13:55
  or the lack of volatility required for you to create a
• 13:58
  digital asset that can match it is is very, very, very small.
• 14:06
  So he said a couple things which are.
• 14:08
  Extremely. Extremely interesting, right?
• 14:11
  And he said he was talking about the importance of
• 14:14
  decentralization, like why? Why did he bring that up and and
• 14:19
  why, you know, why was he, why was he, why was he saying that
• 14:23
  that Zuck is, is, is a fan of this?
• 14:26
  Well, they had a really bad experience.
• 14:29
  Let's go back in time and talk about DM, also known as Libra.
• 14:35
  And DM, and it was named Libra before, was a permissioned
• 14:40
  blockchain quote. The keyword there is
• 14:43
  permissioned they permission blockchain based stablecoin
• 14:47
  payment system proposed by the American social media company
• 14:51
  Meta, also known as Facebook. The plan also included a private
• 14:54
  currency implemented as a cryptocurrency.
• 14:57
  The launchers originally planned in 2020, but only rudimentary
• 15:01
  experimental code was released. The project currency and
• 15:04
  transactions would have been managed and cryptographically
• 15:06
  entrusted to the DM association, basically meaning that they'd be
• 15:09
  controlled by Facebook. Before 2020, the project was
• 15:13
  called Libra, although this was changed to DM following legal
• 15:16
  challenges regarding its name and logo.
• 15:19
  The project generated backlash from government regulators in
• 15:22
  the European Union, the USA and other countries among the
• 15:25
  general public over monetary sovereignty, financial
• 15:28
  stability, privacy and antitrust concerns, which ultimately
• 15:32
  helped kill the project, right? So essentially, it was killed
• 15:37
  because of its lack of decentralization.
• 15:39
  Before I continue, I want to bring up our very special guest,
• 15:44
  the head of events at Swan Bitcoin.
• 15:47
  She is the genius that through the Pacific Bitcoin Festival
• 15:51
  that just happened. Bitcoin to a Pacific Bitcoin
• 15:53
  2023. We have Kristen Thompson.
• 15:56
  How you doing, Kristen? Good morning.
• 15:58
  Happy Friday, guys. Happy to have you join us guys.
• 16:01
  We're going to talk about the Pacific Bitcoin Festival 2024.
• 16:05
  It's going to be bigger than ever, better than ever of
• 16:07
  course, because we have Kristen helming the ship.
• 16:10
  We're going to talk about that a little bit during the culture
• 16:12
  segment coming up, but let's continue talking about
• 16:17
  Zuckerberg admitting or better said.
• 16:21
  A top Facebook executive admitting that Mark Zuckerberg
• 16:25
  is a fan of Bitcoin. So let's break down why how
• 16:30
  Bitcoin would help Facebook. So if you take a look at how
• 16:34
  much cash Facebook has on hand, they have $53 billion worth of
• 16:39
  cash on hand. If you take a look at the latest
• 16:43
  inflation data, it's at 3.7%. So let's do a little bit of
• 16:48
  simple mathematics. I know Greg would be a huge fan
• 16:51
  of this. So we put in $58 billion, right?
• 16:55
  And we multiply it by .037, the latest inflation numbers, and
• 17:00
  it's costing roughly. No, I totally did that math
• 17:05
  wrong. Let's try it again one more
• 17:07
  time. I would never know.
• 17:08
  It looked good to me. Let's try that one more time.
• 17:11
  Let's go 53 billion U.S. dollars. 53 billion U.S. dollars
• 17:17
  multiplied by .037 Let's do it again.
• 17:24
  And yes, the holy cow I thought I got it wrong the first time,
• 17:28
  but it is absolutely striking. Inflation is costing Facebook
• 17:34
  $1.9 billion worth of purchasing power, holding that $53 billion
• 17:43
  in cash. Bitcoin is a solution to this.
• 17:47
  So we know that Mark Zuckerberg is a fan of Facebook according
• 17:50
  to the Facebook top executive, and I'm sure he's he's aware of
• 17:56
  what Micro Strategy is doing. Here's Michael Saylor.
• 17:59
  Illustrating, you know, his his his strategy at MicroStrategy
• 18:05
  proving to the world, proving to other public companies that it's
• 18:08
  a viable alternative to holding Fiat money on the balance sheet.
• 18:13
  And he's making the case here, and it's a very strong case on
• 18:16
  the bottom. It says.
• 18:17
  Performance since August 10th, 2020, when MicroStrategy adopted
• 18:21
  its Bitcoin strategy. Silver is down 20%, bonds are
• 18:25
  down 19%, and gold is down seven 7%.
• 18:28
  The NASDAQ is up 21%, S&P 500 is up 30%, Bitcoin is up 118%.
• 18:36
  Here is another very, very I love this website.
• 18:40
  It's called price in Bitcoin. And if you were saving in
• 18:44
  Bitcoin rather than dollars, dollars has actually got it have
• 18:47
  actually gotten 76% cheaper over a five year timescale.
• 18:52
  On a three-year timescale, dollars have gotten 56% cheaper
• 18:56
  on a one year timescale. Dollars have gotten 28% cheaper.
• 19:00
  If you're a millennial or a zoomer and you're you're just
• 19:03
  starting your life and you're trying to purchase a home.
• 19:06
  If you were in saving, if you were saving in Bitcoin, even
• 19:09
  with housing prices here in South Florida, housing prices
• 19:11
  have doubled. Housing would still be 62%
• 19:16
  cheaper. If you were saving in Bitcoin on
• 19:18
  a three-year time scale, housing would be 53% cheaper.
• 19:23
  So I think all roads lead to Bitcoin.
• 19:25
  I think Zuckerberg is going to reach the inevitable, inevitable
• 19:29
  conclusion. If he does want to add a
• 19:32
  payments platform to Facebook or to Meta he's going to have, he's
• 19:36
  going to have to use Bitcoin. He's going to have no choice.
• 19:39
  He tried with DM, he tried a centralized option.
• 19:43
  It clearly got shut down and not to mention on the other side of
• 19:46
  things. Clearly a Bitcoin strategy, even
• 19:50
  if it's a small percentage, it doesn't have to be 100% of of
• 19:54
  you of your Fiat holdings. It could be 510% and that will
• 19:58
  make up for the loss of purchasing power due to
• 20:01
  inflation. So I think all roads lead to
• 20:04
  Bitcoin. Duck already got a little bit of
• 20:07
  a little he he burnt his finger, so to speak, on the stove.
• 20:12
  So how long until Facebook announces that they they might
• 20:16
  have some Bitcoin on their balance sheet?
• 20:17
  I don't know. Who knows?
• 20:19
  This is speculative, but it is an exciting conversation.
• 20:22
  Anyways, Opti, what's your take? We'll get Christian's take and
• 20:25
  then we'll talk about the Pacific Bitcoin 2024 festival.
• 20:30
  Yeah, well Nico, I thought you were going to say the most
• 20:33
  revealing bit of bit of bread crumbs out there.
• 20:37
  Is that Mark Zuckerberg's? Mark Zuckerberg's goats are
• 20:41
  named Max and Bitcoin. Wait, what?
• 20:45
  Yeah, look it up. Verified it's a Facebook post.
• 20:48
  That was a couple of years ago. He's got apparently goats, and
• 20:52
  one of them is named Bitcoin, though he does.
• 20:56
  Say that he will slaughter and eat the goat.
• 20:59
  So I don't know if that's like a sacrificing Bitcoin or
• 21:01
  something. I don't know.
• 21:02
  I don't know. I'm speculating here, but his OK
• 21:05
  I. Was imagining a lovely goat.
• 21:09
  Hey, hey, hey, hey. His goats are named Max and
• 21:11
  Bitcoin, and apparently he likes to eat them, so I don't know if
• 21:14
  there's a I don't know if there's something there.
• 21:16
  He actually loves them. I don't know.
• 21:17
  But I think to your point, he's probably been hoddling Bitcoin.
• 21:22
  Again, I think it's kind of what I said in the beginning of the
• 21:24
  show where people in those positions, they can't really
• 21:30
  embrace Bitcoin yet because it does have that like
• 21:32
  reputational. I don't know damage if they
• 21:35
  embrace Bitcoin right now and and the price fluctuates too
• 21:37
  much. Like remember when Elon was
• 21:38
  embracing Bitcoin? Like not only was there fervor
• 21:42
  around him, pumping. Bitcoin and pumping doge coin.
• 21:45
  But then once it dumped, everyone was like Elon Musk got
• 21:48
  me wrecked. So I am sure that these people
• 21:50
  in this position are thinking about that.
• 21:52
  But I think what I really liked about that video that you
• 21:55
  played, Nico, was the inevitable journey from shit coiner to
• 22:00
  bitcoiner. You know David Marcus, say what
• 22:02
  you want about him. Say what you want about his
• 22:04
  attempt to create his own stable coin, or Facebook coin or
• 22:07
  whatever you want to call it, and.
• 22:10
  He finally went through the steps that all of us bitcoiners
• 22:13
  go through. And and he but he didn't real
• 22:15
  time and he tried you know, at least in his words, giving them
• 22:18
  the benefit of the doubt. He tried to do it with good
• 22:21
  intentions and hey, you know what's the saying?
• 22:23
  Good intentions are the the road to hell are paved with good
• 22:27
  intentions. And here we are like he finally
• 22:31
  realized that oh This is why Bitcoin is different.
• 22:34
  Like This is why you want to hold Bitcoin.
• 22:36
  This is why you want to build on Bitcoin.
• 22:38
  Because. There is a lot of regulation
• 22:41
  that you have to jump over. Like there is a lot of
• 22:44
  centralization issues that you will face and the only thing
• 22:48
  that is outside anyone's control is Bitcoin.
• 22:50
  And This is why Bitcoin is different.
• 22:51
  This is why Bitcoin is superior. And so I just, I really love
• 22:55
  hearing him, basically. And what a minute be like, Oh
• 22:58
  yeah, like I was a shit coiner. And then I realized why it is
• 23:01
  Bitcoin. And I have.
• 23:03
  Huge conviction in Bitcoin in the project and building on
• 23:06
  Bitcoin and hauling Bitcoin. So let's It's not only that,
• 23:08
  it's it's like they realized that without using something
• 23:12
  that's truly decentralized, it will inevitably be Co opted it
• 23:16
  will inevitably be shut down. So like it like he couldn't have
• 23:22
  reached another conclusion. Like he realized what bitcoiners
• 23:26
  have been screaming from the rooftops for so long.
• 23:29
  Anyways, Kristen, what are your thoughts on this before we move
• 23:31
  on to the culture segment? Well, I'll keep it really brief.
• 23:34
  You guys summed it up great, but my thinking has always been that
• 23:38
  Zuck was really just jealous of the Winklevoss twins, and that
• 23:42
  was the his whole motivation for creating his own coin.
• 23:47
  We knew it wasn't going to work, but it's been fun watching it
• 23:50
  not work in the meantime. I love that take.
• 23:54
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:54
  Yeah, maybe he's not holding Bitcoin in spite of the
• 23:57
  Winklevoss. Or he's just going to be real
• 24:00
  quiet about it. But I think he's still bitter.
• 24:02
  And I'm. I'm here for it.
• 24:04
  But I'm also here to watch Bitcoin succeed, which is it's
• 24:08
  been great watching Facebook fail, and we'll see sooner or
• 24:12
  later. We know Bitcoin's inevitable it.
• 24:15
  Is wait in light, in light of what Kristen said, maybe that's
• 24:17
  why the guilt was named Bitcoin, so you can slaughter it.
• 24:20
  Oh. It's all coming together.
• 24:24
  It's all coming together. God.
• 24:27
  All right, guys, let's get to the culture.

  know, Nico behind the scenes talking about ways of making the
• 25:42
  event even better next year for everybody.
• 25:45
  We do not waste one moment getting to work on the newest
• 25:49
  years event, but First off I just wanted to say it was great
• 25:52
  to see you and to see simply. At Pacific Bitcoin, you guys
• 25:57
  were rocking it live streaming. How was it for you?
• 26:00
  I it's. I was.
• 26:02
  I had my swan hat on. I was doing my swan duties.
• 26:05
  That's a question for Opti. Opti, I'm gonna make you full
• 26:07
  screen. How was it for you, bro?
• 26:10
  Well, all right. This time last year I was more
• 26:13
  on in the in the audience, hanging out in the crowd.
• 26:17
  This year I was working behind the scenes, so it was totally a
• 26:19
  different experience. But absolutely love it.
• 26:21
  Just loved hanging out with bitcoiners.
• 26:23
  It was. It was really awesome to just
• 26:24
  get a bunch of love from everyone and like everyone in
• 26:26
  the chat that hung out with us. But it's different working the
• 26:29
  festivals than it is hanging out at the festivals.
• 26:31
  So I'd much prefer hanging out at the festivals and having no
• 26:35
  responsibilities because I love LA.
• 26:37
  I love hanging out and watching the basketball players play and,
• 26:40
  you know, just shooting the shit with friends.
• 26:42
  So it's. It's more fun being in the
• 26:44
  audience than it is working. You know, this is, this is our
• 26:47
  job, so I can't complain. It was awesome.
• 26:49
  I absolutely love hanging out at the Barker hanger.
• 26:52
  It's it's great. It was great.
• 26:54
  Yeah, go ahead. Sorry Nico, I threw Opti into
• 26:56
  the fire. He's never done high profile
• 27:00
  interviews and I wasn't available because I was doing
• 27:03
  the live streams. I was running around.
• 27:04
  I had to be on panels and it was Opti's first interviews with
• 27:09
  like Preston, Pish, Greg and. Not wait, hold on, dude, give
• 27:12
  some context. Not only did.
• 27:14
  Not not only. Not only did you give me the
• 27:16
  high profile, you know, Bitcoin is the interview.
• 27:20
  You're literally like, all right, you got a minute?
• 27:22
  You're doing these interviews with these guys.
• 27:24
  It's like, OK, like, can I prepare at least?
• 27:27
  Like, Nope, you got to go live now.
• 27:29
  I'm like, oh, OK, well, let's go.
• 27:31
  But he performed under fire, which is good.
• 27:33
  So, Kristen, I'm super excited already.
• 27:36
  I know it's like a year out. What do you?
• 27:39
  Wait, wait, wait, Nico, before we do that, before we do that,
• 27:41
  Kristen, can you tell us? What the improvement was from
• 27:47
  last year to this year, you know, from the first year, from
• 27:49
  the rookie season to the sophomore season, and then we
• 27:53
  can get into what what we got in store for the third.
• 27:55
  Yeah, I was gonna say as long as you don't ask me anything that
• 27:58
  happened on stage. Because much like you, I was
• 28:01
  running around working in the conference and you definitely
• 28:04
  have a different experience. Super fun to get to put it on
• 28:07
  for everybody. But you, you do miss some of the
• 28:10
  fun along the way, but it was great to see the event improve
• 28:14
  year over year. We definitely heard tremendous
• 28:16
  feedback last year, our very first Pacific Bitcoin
• 28:19
  Conference. Of course, this year we've
• 28:21
  switched it up and turned it into a festival.
• 28:24
  And next year as we'll talk about, we're going to lean
• 28:26
  harder into that vibe. But I think it was more just the
• 28:30
  logistics, making sure everything's smooth, making sure
• 28:33
  check in. Went really easy peasy this
• 28:36
  year, which it did. We had no drama with anybody
• 28:38
  getting in. We had amazing food trucks.
• 28:41
  We did have one food truck breakdown on day one, so that
• 28:45
  was a little not fun, but all of that was smoothed out by day
• 28:48
  two. Amazing VIP experience for our
• 28:52
  VIP ticket holders. We throw an amazing party at the
• 28:55
  bungalow with a fall buffet and you know all you can eat and
• 28:59
  beautiful bars. And beautiful.
• 29:01
  People to network with and friends to make along the way.
• 29:04
  And I think honestly, the biggest compliment we ever get
• 29:08
  at Pacific Bitcoin is the energy, which as as much from
• 29:13
  the attendees as it is the conference and the the festival
• 29:17
  team and the speakers, you know, we're a much smaller proportion.
• 29:21
  So to me, I always want to make sure I'm complimenting everybody
• 29:25
  who shows up to Pacific Bitcoin, because you're really who make
• 29:28
  that vibe so special. The other thing that we wanted
• 29:31
  to keep from last year was just making it really accessible to
• 29:34
  bump into the who's who at the event, whether it's, you know,
• 29:38
  last year Michael Saylor or Lynn Alden or Greg Foss or Corey
• 29:41
  Clipston or Nico and OCTI that you get to kind of rub elbows
• 29:45
  with people whether you're a VIP or not.
• 29:48
  I think that is definitely one of the more fun elements.
• 29:51
  We had the Red Bull DJ truck out at the court, which I thought
• 29:56
  was amazing. One of the few pieces of of one
• 30:00
  of the sessions that I actually got to see was a swan Nick
• 30:05
  Payton on the basketball court, wrestling with, you know, a
• 30:09
  World Olympic champion and MMA. And now I'm going to forget his
• 30:13
  name. Somebody help me?
• 30:15
  Van Askren. Van Askren.
• 30:18
  Holy cow. I was screaming like I was
• 30:21
  Nick's mother from the sidelines hoping that he didn't get hurt.
• 30:25
  He did amazing. But watching people literally
• 30:28
  wrestled, then ask her and like 5 feet in front of your face.
• 30:31
  That is a crazy experience. Did you guys get to catch any of
• 30:35
  that? I'm guessing not, I.
• 30:36
  Caught the beginning of it and then I had to run, Yeah.
• 30:38
  But one of our crew, Adele, actually got onto the mats and I
• 30:43
  think, yeah, I think he, I don't think he.
• 30:45
  Wrestled Ben, but he was. He was rolling.
• 30:47
  He wrestled the trying to mint from the orange pull out.
• 30:49
  OK, so he so he was part of that that that whole scuffle.
• 30:53
  But. He's trying to get that millions
• 30:55
  at bounty. It was it was you know there's
• 30:57
  something and and I'm not saying this cuz I cuz I cuz they work
• 31:00
  at Swan. But there's something about the
• 31:03
  Pacific Bitcoin Festival. The energy.
• 31:06
  It's probably Kristen right. It's just it's.
• 31:08
  It's probably me. I would go it's probably
• 31:10
  Kristen, but there's something. Not at all so special.
• 31:13
  So homey, I think it's a combination of the of of Kristen
• 31:18
  the hanger, the Swans, the the overall vibe, the basketball
• 31:23
  court. I think you know, I I think the
• 31:25
  the fact that it's not called the conference, is called the
• 31:27
  festival, I think really, really hits that nail on the head,
• 31:31
  right. It was truly, truly an awesome
• 31:34
  experience. I highly recommend it for anyone
• 31:37
  if you're trying to get a job in the industry.
• 31:39
  Actually me and Opti, we we met for the first time at a Bitcoin
• 31:44
  conference. So this is your opportunity to
• 31:47
  go and meet some of your favorite bitcoiners, potentially
• 31:50
  get a job in the industry, see what it's all about and it it
• 31:55
  what Kristin was saying earlier, this is this.
• 31:57
  If you want to see some of the most highprofile Bitcoiners just
• 32:01
  walking around the floor, the Pacific Bitcoin Festival is
• 32:04
  where you're going to be able to see that.
• 32:06
  I I remember last year I had, I never really met Lynn.
• 32:12
  She never came on my podcast. She's super popular like, you
• 32:15
  know and and simply, you know, simply was a pretty distant size
• 32:18
  at that time. And I ran into her right before
• 32:22
  you go into the mainstage, you know where where all the booths
• 32:25
  are. And I had a conversation with
• 32:27
  Lynn. She had no idea who I was and I
• 32:29
  said I'm like Lynn, I'm a I'm like Lynn, I'm a super fan.
• 32:32
  And we talked for 35 minutes and then she ended up coming on my
• 32:37
  podcast like I think it was like a couple weeks later.
• 32:40
  That is the Pacific Bitcoin Festival.
• 32:42
  You're going to get those types of moments.
• 32:45
  So, So yeah, I had, I had a lot of fun.
• 32:47
  So Kristen, what are you looking forward to next year?
• 32:51
  Cuz cuz we we went up to this year.
• 32:53
  What are we going to do next? Year My gosh, I know why.
• 32:56
  Why am I making my life difficult?
• 32:58
  I got a one up every year, but I am here for it and I'm watching
• 33:01
  the comments and I'd love for. You know your viewers and your
• 33:05
  fans to let us know in the comments as well.
• 33:08
  We are sending out a survey today too, so if you came and
• 33:12
  you bought a ticket, you'll get a survey.
• 33:13
  We definitely want to hear from you, but the feedback we're
• 33:16
  getting as people really love the festival vibe.
• 33:18
  A lot of you are tried and true bitcoiners.
• 33:20
  You've been around the block. You want to hear some great
• 33:23
  talks, of course, but you also just want to have a really good
• 33:26
  time hanging out with other bitcoiners.
• 33:29
  And in the Bitcoin lifestyle. And so I think things like the
• 33:32
  MMA fights or wrestling adding more of those sporting elements
• 33:37
  that aren't just basketball. We had basketball in year one.
• 33:40
  We added the wrestling slash MMA vibes this year.
• 33:44
  I think we want to see how we can play with that and keep
• 33:47
  leaning into adding new sports and new activities that align
• 33:51
  with the Bitcoin ethos of staying happy and healthy and
• 33:54
  getting fresh sunlight and. And just enjoying your life
• 33:57
  while you're bitcoining, I want to add, personally, I am a huge
• 34:01
  comedy nerd. I don't know if either.
• 34:03
  If you are, I would love to see us pull in some comedy.
• 34:06
  And we definitely want to pull in more music.
• 34:10
  Tip and Z's performance Rave reviews.
• 34:13
  It was right before lunch, so I feel a little like I wish that
• 34:17
  the room were a little more packed for her.
• 34:18
  It was like a little light. Some people had headed out a
• 34:21
  little early. But man, that audience was
• 34:24
  electric. By the end of her performance.
• 34:26
  People jumped up on her feet. I was backstage.
• 34:29
  We shoved her back on stage. We're like, get out there.
• 34:32
  The people love you. They went crazy for her.
• 34:35
  Again, what we're hearing from the community is music and
• 34:38
  entertainment that is on again on the Bitcoin ethos, on the
• 34:42
  vibe. People are all about it.
• 34:45
  So we'll still bring you great educational talks.
• 34:48
  But I think pulling in all of these other entertaining pieces
• 34:51
  that really will make this a festival and keeping keep on
• 34:55
  building on the festival vibe is the way to go.
• 34:59
  But again, I'm going to be looking at the comments as well
• 35:02
  to see what you all want because that's what matters more than
• 35:05
  what I want. And yeah, I see a lot of people
• 35:08
  giving tip. By the way, if you got a chance
• 35:11
  to meet her, she is the sweetest thing in the whole world.
• 35:16
  When she's up there, she's so commanding and fierce with her
• 35:19
  performance. But then when you meet her,
• 35:20
  she's just sweet as pie, like so many Bitcoiners.
• 35:24
  Surfer Jim was one of our lead volunteers, one of the.
• 35:28
  I call him affectionately a salty dog on Twitter.
• 35:31
  What a huge heart in person, and he was last year as well.
• 35:34
  So I'm absolutely obviously a big fan of bitcoiners and we
• 35:38
  love bringing you all together at Pacific Bitcoin.
• 35:40
  So keep letting us know here in the comments on the survey that
• 35:44
  you get today if you attended. And then definitely, as Nico was
• 35:48
  saying, you know, we've got the tickets nice and low right now.
• 35:51
  They're fully refundable until February.
• 35:53
  So come on in, grab your tickets.
• 35:55
  We can't wait to see you next year.
• 35:57
  And I'm going to be hard at work along with the rest of the crew
• 36:01
  beefing things up for next year. But I'm kind of curious Optio
• 36:04
  Nico, what of everything I was rattling off.
• 36:06
  What would you all like to see more of next year.
• 36:10
  Yeah, I I love the the comedy aspect.
• 36:13
  I think that would add more to like the festival vibe we're
• 36:16
  getting a comment from J Dub Laker said.
• 36:19
  But awesome to meet you, brother.
• 36:20
  He said. Dude, I met Lynn and Jimmy Song
• 36:22
  and I got signed books from them.
• 36:24
  How much more epic can it get? I was.
• 36:27
  I was in Bitcoin heaven. And Speaking of TIP, I I do want
• 36:32
  to show this real quick. Tip approved our tips, right.
• 36:37
  So And what do I mean by that. So so BTC sessions started a
• 36:42
  movement. I decided to copy him and we
• 36:45
  touched the tips in Miami. We got another swan Nathan fast.
• 36:49
  But this would not be official without TIP approving the tip.
• 36:53
  So all this happened at the festival.
• 36:56
  That's right. We have we have tinfoil on our
• 36:58
  hair. We are while we were dying it.
• 37:00
  So yeah, it was absolutely incredible.
• 37:02
  I actually have a video of the Tip and Z performance.
• 37:06
  I'll kind of play it in the background while we while we
• 37:11
  discuss. But yeah, like the, I think the
• 37:15
  comedy aspect of the comedy aspect I think would be great.
• 37:20
  I think, you know, the I love the sports aspect.
• 37:23
  I think more live performances, Christian.
• 37:25
  I think people really connected with that.
• 37:27
  It's so unique to the Pacific Bitcoin Festival compared to a
• 37:31
  lot of other Bitcoin conferences where it's just education.
• 37:35
  It's just talks, you know, Sometimes those talks are dark,
• 37:37
  you know, because we are, this is the separation of money in
• 37:40
  state. Some things are some some some
• 37:42
  dark topics, right. So, so yeah.
• 37:46
  Anyways, Opti, what? What would I know?
• 37:48
  That you were just working your ass off backstage?
• 37:51
  Brother then you were attending. Yeah, I mean, the only thing I,
• 37:55
  I would say is I just need more steak for the food trucks, just
• 37:58
  more, just more steak, just more pure steak.
• 38:00
  And I'm good with it. The everything else, what you
• 38:02
  guys touched on I I think would be a great improvement.
• 38:06
  And then of course, like like Kristin was saying, you know,
• 38:08
  having more, I don't know how to put like activities that aren't
• 38:12
  necessarily Bitcoin related, but are Bitcoin related because.
• 38:15
  It is a festival after all. And and I noticed when I was
• 38:18
  there and I just hung out with my Bitcoin friends, like we
• 38:21
  weren't really talking about Bitcoin too much.
• 38:23
  We just talk about the world in life and you know doing
• 38:25
  activities with with other bitcoiners.
• 38:27
  Just it's it's always a good time because you kind of have
• 38:30
  you can kind of get over the small talk of like oh do you
• 38:33
  know what Bitcoin is. It's kind of just like, I like
• 38:35
  bet let's have fun. It's like how's the world going?
• 38:39
  Like, I I remember having a conversation at lunch with Peter
• 38:41
  Dunworth and Luke Broyles and we just, we're talking about like
• 38:45
  what's going on in Australia and what's going on around the
• 38:47
  world. And I I barely rarely had like
• 38:50
  actual Bitcoin conversations per se.
• 38:52
  It was more just like what are you seeing and how's the world
• 38:56
  going and and where are we headed with this?
• 38:57
  And it's just that's the conversations I like like very
• 39:00
  philosophical stuff. So more activity so bitcoiners
• 39:02
  can get a. Just get involved, have fun,
• 39:04
  enjoy the time. But but of course we we need
• 39:07
  more steak. It needs to have more steaks.
• 39:08
  More steak, baby. Yeah, I saw Justifier.
• 39:11
  My friend Jesse runs amboss. A lot of you know him.
• 39:15
  He lived in Portland a few years ago, and I saw him talking to
• 39:21
  Jan Pritzker, and I was like, oh, I hope they're masterminding
• 39:25
  something together. So it is such a fun time to see
• 39:28
  your friends and to see what they're doing with their
• 39:30
  businesses, with their careers. I saw DJ Val.
• 39:33
  Who kicked off our wrap party? She's always a ray of sunshine
• 39:37
  and I got to hold Pierre and Morgan Rashard's baby, so I kind
• 39:41
  of feel like I won the entire festival just right there.
• 39:45
  Did you feel, did you did you feel?
• 39:47
  Can did you feel more sats coming when when you had?
• 39:50
  Did you feel more toxic and Austrian after touching?
• 39:54
  I did and unfortunately their their baby wanted.
• 39:58
  Wanted Morgan way more than me, so there was a lot of crying
• 40:01
  involved in this interaction, but I still felt very honored to
• 40:07
  be touched by the Rashard Baby Energy was definitely a
• 40:11
  highlight for me. So guys, we have about a couple
• 40:14
  minute and we have about a minute or so left of the tip
• 40:17
  performance. I want to play you guys a part
• 40:19
  of it and then then we'll move on to the to the new section.
• 40:24
  Computational energy makes time flow one way only.
• 40:27
  It is an irrevisibility which gives value to our money by
• 40:32
  public consensus, scarcely to create 1 shared reality.
• 40:34
  Now the fact is the territory. Now we're working with high
• 40:37
  fidelity. Now money is truthfully, time
• 40:39
  and energy bad by fidelity. Now we.
• 40:42
  Have the ability to manage each of our dreams and build the
• 40:45
  world as much more effective of all of our needs.
• 40:48
  And that's the purpose of money. Nearly a tool to shape up young
• 40:52
  and nearly a function to hide them and express the individual
• 40:55
  out there. Just a way to live freely and
• 40:57
  just needs the possibilities to be built on a table in the heart
• 41:01
  of beauty of the enemy. Most beautiful societies are
• 41:07
  booked for diversity of our Lords.
• 41:10
  They can life. Worth more than today, we shift
• 41:13
  from predicting to creating the future ourselves.
• 41:16
  And when that money feels in value, we were thoughtful in how
• 41:20
  to use the natural price we get needed to fund something
• 41:23
  enduring, something true. We wetted something that pushes
• 41:27
  the sky common, something that's impossible now with value and
• 41:30
  constant in this system, and now with mutual dimensions.
• 41:33
  Imagine potential creation. We feel my monitoring life was
• 41:37
  lasted for many generations. We will venture into new
• 41:40
  territory and unleash these possibilities once we learn to
• 41:43
  operate the truth of our reality.
• 41:51
  Whoa, that was actually the only presentation that I caught.
• 41:55
  Absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible.
• 41:59

• 42:43
  All right, everybody, let's jump straight into the news.
• 42:49
  The Daily News I want to give a shout out to our sponsor,
• 42:54
  Foundation Devices. It's self custody done right.
• 42:57
  They built a premium grade hardware wallet called Passport
• 43:01
  right here in the US. It's fully open source and

  phone so you will know how to navigate it and use it the
• 43:13
  moment you pick it up. Get your Bitcoin off exchanges

• 44:11
  beautiful. Look at it.
• 44:12
  Look at it. The attention to detail.
• 44:14
  The back is made of this beautiful copper like material.
• 44:18
  I heard their snake even on the phone.
• 44:20
  If you want to play snake on your hardware wallet, they have
• 44:24
  it all. It's open source.
• 44:25
  Like I said, get yourself a Bitcoin hardware wallet.
• 44:28
  Not your keys, not your Bitcoin. And of course we recommend the
• 44:32
  passport by foundation. All right everybody.
• 44:35
  So I called this, You know what? I I don't feel bad anymore
• 44:40
  saying that. I called, I called things okay,
• 44:44
  I don't feel bad anymore, all right?
• 44:46
  Because I felt bad for a long time because I'm like, fuck, I'm
• 44:49
  a conspiracy theorist, blah blah blah blah, you know, Like I feel
• 44:52
  I feel guilty in a way, you know?
• 44:55
  But this is like, this is just a common sense, right?
• 44:58
  I said, You see how easily Apple can deplatform.
• 45:01
  Twitter, the Apples deplatformed.
• 45:04
  I forget what the name of the app was, but it was during the
• 45:07
  January 6th protests. What was the name of the
• 45:13
  platform anyways? They deplatformed it from the
• 45:16
  App Store, and I said governments will pressure Apple
• 45:20
  to do the same with Bitcoin wallets.
• 45:22
  Pay attention, right? And before it was government, it
• 45:27
  was actually Apple themselves, the company that told Noster,
• 45:32
  hey, you can't have, you can't have Zaps on the platform.
• 45:35
  As a content creator, I love the fact that I would post something
• 45:39
  on Noster and people would just stream me sass.
• 45:42
  They took that away from me. But that was Apple themselves.
• 45:46
  And fine, you know, it's a private company.
• 45:48
  You know, I'm a capitalist after all.
• 45:50
  They're protecting their mode. They have their own payment
• 45:52
  platforms. Okay.
• 45:53
  Fine, right. But.
• 45:57
  But the next evolution of this, and I posted this back in
• 46:01
  November 28th, 2022. I said that eventually
• 46:06
  governments were going to tap on the door of Apple.
• 46:11
  Knock on the door of Apple, and I think that's exactly what just
• 46:14
  happened October 3rd, 2023. This is no BS Bitcoin.
• 46:18
  Apple bows to China starts enforcing App Store regulations
• 46:23
  in the country Apple has started requiring new apps to show proof
• 46:27
  of Chinese government license before the release on the China
• 46:31
  App Store, joining local rivals that have adopted the policy for
• 46:36
  years. Earlier to meet tightening state
• 46:39
  regulations. Quote China announced its new
• 46:42
  app laws in August 2023, saying that developers must be either
• 46:46
  based in the country or partnered with one.
• 46:48
  That is. There are then privacy issues
• 46:51
  over where where users personal data is held, but the law
• 46:55
  primarily gives the Chinese government total control over
• 46:59
  what apps can be sold in its country.
• 47:01
  Apple resisted the law change to the point of reportedly having
• 47:05
  staff meet with Chinese officials to object it.
• 47:08
  Even following this, Apple still held out despite Chinese
• 47:12
  protests. According to Reuters.
• 47:14
  However, Apple has now begun complying.
• 47:17
  As of Friday, September 29, 2023, Apple has required
• 47:22
  developers to submit their Internet content provider filing
• 47:26
  with submitting new apps. China has allowed a grace period
• 47:31
  for developers to comply, but new apps that ended in September
• 47:35
  2023. Existing apps have until March
• 47:40
  2024. This is the separation of money
• 47:45
  in state. I saw this happening because
• 47:48
  Apple has a closed ecosystem. The Wallet of Satoshi, you
• 47:52
  download from the App Store. Blue Wallet you download that
• 47:56
  from the App Store. If Elizabeth Warren gets her
• 48:01
  way, even though it's highly unlikely and she passes this
• 48:05
  bill, it would force software developers to KYC.
• 48:09
  So imagine opening wallet of Satoshi.
• 48:12
  It says, hey, you know how easy it is.
• 48:14
  I love wallet of Satoshi. I know it's custodial, but I
• 48:17
  love wallets of Satoshi, especially with people getting
• 48:20
  in. Because all you got to do is you
• 48:21
  download it and as soon as you download it, you're ready to
• 48:25
  receive Satoshi's, you're ready to receive Bitcoin.
• 48:28
  It's super easy. Could you imagine you download
• 48:32
  wallet of Satoshi? Because this is what they would
• 48:34
  want And said please enter your ID, please enter your date of
• 48:41
  birth, your name, your last name, your country of origin.
• 48:45
  Oh, you happen to be from Cuba, a country that the US has
• 48:49
  sanctioned against? Sorry, you can't download wallet
• 48:53
  of Satoshi. They're trying to make the
• 48:58
  existing, they're trying to make Bitcoin into an extension of the
• 49:03
  existing financial system. That's why you that's why you
• 49:07
  hear words like hosted wallet and unhosted wallet.
• 49:12
  That's why they use those words. And we can't allow that to
• 49:17
  happen. And the way that we win this
• 49:21
  race, the race to avoid the war, like Corey Clipson has said so
• 49:25
  many times, so we can go into this bright orange future.
• 49:31
  It's by winning. The adoption race is by
• 49:33
  spreading the signal is by taking human agency, taking
• 49:39
  action as an individual orange pill.
• 49:41
  The people around you remind them that it's not left verse
• 49:46
  right, it's orange verse green. That is how you win.
• 49:51
  That's how we win this thing. So yes, the the look, the West
• 49:57
  has already fallen in love with the China model.
• 50:00
  The the politicians here, they love the CBDC's, they love the
• 50:03
  social controls that come with the CBDC's.
• 50:07
  They're salvating at the mouth. I think there's comments by
• 50:10
  Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau basically making the case that
• 50:13
  the one of the things that they love about China is that they
• 50:16
  that the the politicians could just, you know, give an order
• 50:20
  and things get done essentially. So I don't think they'll be as
• 50:26
  strict in the West because of it, you know, because of its
• 50:29
  history and its cultural. But they'll definitely try to
• 50:31
  implement a China Light model in the US.
• 50:37
  It is not cash that's going to save you.
• 50:39
  It is not gold that's going to save you from this dystopian
• 50:42
  future that they want all of us to to live in while they have
• 50:46
  total control not only of money, but also the issuance of money,
• 50:52
  the control of truth. Bitcoin is the salvation.
• 50:56
  So when I say Bitcoin or slavery, I'm not exaggerating
• 50:59
  and and and I'm going to start changing it.
• 51:02
  Fuck Bitcoin or slavery, Bitcoin or death.
• 51:06
  What is that that famous saying from the American Revolution?
• 51:09
  Give me liberty or give me death?
• 51:12
  Yes. It's not a hyperbolic I don't
• 51:16
  want to live, I don't want. I don't want to live.
• 51:18
  And I don't want my children to live in a world where they don't
• 51:25
  get to pick and choose what money they can use and what
• 51:32
  money they can't use. I don't want my children to live
• 51:35
  in a world where bureaucratic elites get to dictate what they
• 51:40
  can and cannot do with their money.
• 51:42
  I don't want my children to live in a world where they're
• 51:47
  purchasing power, their life force, their work, their time is
• 51:50
  being stolen from by bureaucratic class that is
• 51:54
  taking that money and using it to fund endless wars.
• 51:59
  Anyways, this is pretty fucking crazy.
• 52:01
  This is, this is an escalation. This is, this is, this is what I
• 52:05
  thought was going to happen. This is exactly what is
• 52:08
  happening. And just to kind of add the
• 52:10
  little cherry on top, if you think that this isn't coming to
• 52:13
  the US, there's already little inklings of it.
• 52:15
  There's already little you know. There's little cracks that are
• 52:20
  starting to show up. Here is a T-bone, a fellow
• 52:23
  Bitcoiner and says more from Gemini regarding their new anti
• 52:27
  cold storage withdrawal policies.
• 52:30
  More hoops to jump through to obtain my Bitcoin, Move it to
• 52:34
  cold storage. I wish Swan was available in New
• 52:38
  York again so I wouldn't have to go through this and let's take a
• 52:41
  look at the e-mail. Thanks for providing that
• 52:45
  information. Before we can take next steps
• 52:47
  with your account, we will require the following
• 52:50
  confirmation of the actual wallet address to which you'll
• 52:53
  be drawing. Confirmation of the platform,
• 52:56
  program, site, app, group, or identity that hosts the wallet
• 53:01
  documentation of wallet ownership.
• 53:04
  Okay. Hold on a second.
• 53:06
  How do you prove that you own a Bitcoin wallet?
• 53:13
  That's the whole point. That's where they're going with
• 53:15
  this is that they don't want Bitcoin wallets that aren't tied
• 53:19
  to identities. You cannot have freedom without
• 53:22
  privacy. Anyways, it goes on to say this
• 53:26
  information and documentation will be required to proceed,
• 53:29
  meaning we'll hold your shit hostage until you docs yourself
• 53:34
  or you give us stuff that might not even be possible.
• 53:38
  Like how do you how do you document?
• 53:40
  Like, let's say I'm holding Bitcoin on an Electrum wallet.
• 53:43
  How do I how do I prove ownership of that wallet?
• 53:46
  Do I just take a screenshot of? It's like it's mine, like, dude,
• 53:52
  absurd. And this is where it's going and
• 53:55
  This is why we must fight back. And the way that we fight back
• 53:58
  is through education. We fight back through education.
• 54:05
  So anyways, before we continue, I do want to give a shout out to
• 54:09
  our our sponsor. It is going to be the largest
• 54:14
  Bitcoin conference on planet earth.
• 54:17
  Bitcoin 2024. It's going to be in Nashville,
• 54:20
  TN this year. You definitely don't want to
• 54:22
  miss it. You want to get your tickets
• 54:24
  quickly before the prices go up. It's going to be the year of the
• 54:28
  having July 25th through the 27th 2024 Nashville, TN not in
• 54:35
  Miami this year for a GA ticket it's 349 for an industry pass.
• 54:39
  If you're trying to get a job in the industry I recommend this
• 54:42
  one. 849 and for a whale Pass 4749.
• 54:48
  Opti and I are going to be there.
• 54:49
  It's going to be the biggest celebration Bitcoin celebration
• 54:51
  on planet earth. Definitely don't want to miss
• 54:53
  it. Bitcoin 2024.
• 54:56
  All right. Opti, what are your thoughts on
• 54:57
  this brother? Like you know it's it's like we
• 55:01
  called this. I just want to say we called it
• 55:03
  dude. Like shameless plug like we
• 55:06
  called this. Yeah, I mean, I'm not really
• 55:11
  that surprised to be honest, to hear this Apple news, I think.
• 55:16
  Anyone that follows along closely, especially in American
• 55:19
  business interests and American politics, it does seem like
• 55:25
  there's a lot of favoritism towards China and CCP.
• 55:29
  Of course, if if they told you to do something, you got to
• 55:31
  abide by what's going on. So of course they're going to
• 55:34
  try to maintain their Google App Store.
• 55:36
  So it is what it is on that front.
• 55:38
  And so I'm going to just kind of double down on what you said.
• 55:42
  You said to fight back, we need education.
• 55:45
  And I'm I'm gonna go a little further, Like to fight bad guys.
• 55:48
  What we need is more people downloading Bitcoin wallets.
• 55:50
  Like, yes, if they remove Bitcoin wallets from the app
• 55:54
  stores, of course it's gonna be harder to download those wallets
• 55:57
  in particular. But that's why most of the
• 55:59
  really good Bitcoin wallets out there have either open sourced
• 56:03
  their code or given you ways so you can build the app yourself
• 56:07
  on your phone. Or you know your Android or
• 56:10
  whatever, so like you don't have to necessarily download them on
• 56:14
  or from the app stores. You can also usually use their
• 56:17
  wallets through like web browsers and stuff.
• 56:20
  And so I think the bitcoiners that are thinking what's the
• 56:25
  word, the opposite when they're thinking about attack vectors,
• 56:30
  they are thinking about this and and getting ahead of the game.
• 56:34
  And so the most important thing to be doing guys, is to be
• 56:38
  downloading these Bitcoin wallets, making sure more people
• 56:41
  are downloading Bitcoin wallets so that we can, you know, start
• 56:44
  the fabled circular economy so that more and more people are
• 56:48
  holding Bitcoin. So the more that people hold
• 56:51
  Bitcoin, the more obvious it is that these tyrants and
• 56:54
  authoritarians are trying to stop freedom, money and once
• 56:59
  Bitcoin exposes. Their incentives to stop you
• 57:02
  from having freedom. Then it becomes more obvious
• 57:04
  that these people aren't working for you and they don't have your
• 57:07
  best interest in in in mind. And so, you know, I I think
• 57:11
  it'll be one of these things where we're not going to
• 57:14
  necessarily see a direct attack on Bitcoin yet but we will see
• 57:18
  like Nico kind of pointed out and and you know Nostradamus
• 57:22
  dust about they will start to try to stop Bitcoin wallets are
• 57:26
  being downloaded on these Google, Google or Apple App
• 57:29
  stores and so. It's important to make sure that
• 57:33
  the wallets you're using are at the very least, you know,
• 57:38
  letting you source, build the app yourself.
• 57:41
  Maybe open source as well it Obviously these aren't the
• 57:45
  silver bullets to everything, but the most important thing to
• 57:47
  be doing guys, is downloading Bitcoin wallets, making sure
• 57:50
  more people are downloading Bitcoin wallets.
• 57:51
  And yeah, there's going to be an inevitable clash between the
• 57:54
  legacy system and Bitcoin, and hopefully we can get.
• 57:59
  Enough people holding Bitcoin, so it doesn't really matter.
• 58:02
  And so we just continue to route around them.
• 58:04
  I I'm convinced that Bitcoin, no matter what, will route around
• 58:07
  any type of attempt to stop it. It already has.
• 58:11
  It will continue. And I really do believe in human
• 58:14
  ingenuity and I I think entrepreneurs will figure out
• 58:17
  ways to do what is best for themselves and their family.
• 58:22
  And the more that governments fight Bitcoin, the more I know.
• 58:26
  That we are on the right track so I don't know it's it's it is
• 58:30
  a I guess I told you so moment but also a little bit
• 58:35
  bittersweets and then as well just kind of buckle down and and
• 58:39
  get yourself ready and make sure your ducks are in a row.
• 58:41
  Hence why we keep telling you guys constantly to run nodes to
• 58:45
  take your Bitcoin off exchanges to make sure your your wallets
• 58:49
  are backed up to make sure you are having good UT XL hygiene.
• 58:54
  Because you do not want to get hit and be blindsided when an
• 58:57
  inevitable crazy event happens and we're going into a bull run
• 59:02
  so it's going to get crazy anyways.
• 59:04
  So the fervor, the FOMO and the mania is going to be upon us,
• 59:08
  boys and girls. So make sure you are doing what
• 59:12
  you need to do today so that you are prepared.
• 59:14
  As a saying goes, what's it? If you need Bitcoin, then it's
• 59:17
  too late. You should have probably stacked
• 59:19
  some sacks. Anyways, anyways, bro, Amen to
• 59:23

• 1:00:50
  The Daily Meme Review All right guys, this first one I'm going
• 1:00:59
  to This meme review is going to be a little clunky.
• 1:01:01
  Anyways, tweet to the bullets, beams of the artillery.
• 1:01:04
  You are in the front lines. You are in an information war.
• 1:01:08
  Continue to get the cause of action out there.
• 1:01:10
  Continue to ridicule the corporate press.
• 1:01:12
  Continue to make some funnies so that your friends heads stay in
• 1:01:16
  the game. Guys, this is the most important
• 1:01:18
  thing is to make sure you stay focused.
• 1:01:21
  And how do you stay focused? You make some funny memes that
• 1:01:25
  continue to get the cause of action out there that continue
• 1:01:27
  to double down on the fundamentals.
• 1:01:29
  And continue to spread the signal.
• 1:01:31
  Yeah, Nico, I have one. I, I I have this meme here.
• 1:01:34
  It just just wait. Just wait.
• 1:01:36
  All right. First one though is by Bitcoin
• 1:01:38
  Dame. He hit us in the chat yesterday
• 1:01:41
  and we told him to tag us on the timeline.
• 1:01:44
  So here we go. Bitcoin Dame goes.
• 1:01:47
  I know it's a small step but if we all do this everywhere every
• 1:01:50
  day, people would wake up faster.
• 1:01:51
  And we got this little video here.
• 1:01:56
  I guess this is a bank. Can't really tell.
• 1:01:59
  It looks like a bank. Opti and Nico Bitcoin or?
• 1:02:09
  Slavery. Let's go.
• 1:02:11
  OK, OK, shouts out the Bitcoin Dane for Oops.
• 1:02:15
  One second. One second for for chalk
• 1:02:18
  linings, for doing a very safe graffiti about Bitcoin or
• 1:02:22
  slavery anyways, as Nico already.
• 1:02:28
  Blew our load shots at the Copernicus in the jet and you
• 1:02:32
  guys know Janet Yellen Christie Lagarde.
• 1:02:35
  We're we're at some meeting this week anyways.
• 1:02:38
  Copernicus goes at simply Bitcoin TV.
• 1:02:40
  Staying hard has never been easier and it's the Opti face
• 1:02:43
  that he screen recorded that I lagged I don't know like a month
• 1:02:47
  ago. That is now his new favorite
• 1:02:49
  meme template, and it's me doing an OH face looking at Chrissie
• 1:02:53
  Lagarde and Janet Yellen. You dirty dog.
• 1:02:57
  You dirty dog. You OK?
• 1:02:58
  Next one by beauty on he just goes hashtag Bitcoin.
• 1:03:01
  And this is a play on the classic scene in The Shining
• 1:03:05
  where I forget what her name is. She reads Jack Nicholson's
• 1:03:09
  writing and it's all the same thing.
• 1:03:11
  But instead of all work, no play makes Jack a dope boy.
• 1:03:14
  It's by Bitcoin, By Bitcoin, By Bitcoin, by Bitcoin, by Bitcoin.
• 1:03:17
  This is all you need to know. Continuously by Bitcoin, we are
• 1:03:19
  playing hungry Hippo. With Bitcoin you need to buy
• 1:03:21
  Bitcoin. You need a huddle.
• 1:03:22
  This is the way. OK, next one is by well Jack
• 1:03:24
  Bitcoin. And it goes.
• 1:03:25
  How many hours of study do you have?
• 1:03:27
  And this is the progression of your Bitcoin understanding that
• 1:03:32
  David Marcus in the beginning of the show has found himself
• 1:03:35
  through. So we have a Charlie Munger.
• 1:03:38
  And Warren Buffett. And it goes with 0 hours of
• 1:03:42
  study. You will say Bitcoin is a scam.
• 1:03:44
  We have Peter Schiff here with 10 hours of study.
• 1:03:47
  You will say governments are going to ban it.
• 1:03:49
  We got Elon Musk and what? What the actor guy that came out
• 1:03:52
  and said that Bitcoin, he's from the OCI, forget what his name
• 1:03:55
  is. It goes with 100 hours of study.
• 1:03:57
  You will say Bitcoin is crypto. And then we got bit boy and Ooty
• 1:04:00
  and it goes with 1000 hours of study.
• 1:04:02
  You will say Bitcoin is going to make me rich.
• 1:04:05
  And then with 10,000 hours of study.
• 1:04:07
  You might just become BTC sessions and dye your hair or
• 1:04:10
  matte crater from Bitcoin University or Andres Ontonopolis
• 1:04:13
  and say Bitcoin is going to set everyone free.
• 1:04:17
  This is the way. OK, next one is by Stamp Seed
• 1:04:20
  and I'm sure you guys heard the news that FTX had a trial.
• 1:04:24
  I think it was Wednesday, I believe, when this news came out
• 1:04:27
  and the courtroom drawing has been gone viral and everyone
• 1:04:32
  heard the news that FTX was selling customers Bitcoin to
• 1:04:35
  keep the price low under 20K. And the tweet goes 20K maxi with
• 1:04:39
  a bear and we have the Bitcoin price and we have the Caroline
• 1:04:44
  Ellison I believe her name is with laser eyes saying 20K maxi
• 1:04:48
  trying to keep the Bitcoin under 20K and they failed and they got
• 1:04:51
  wrecked. This is the way guys.
• 1:04:53
  Anyways, next one is by Glucky Glocky at Clucky's under score
• 1:04:58
  on Twitter and it goes Good morning with the son emoji.
• 1:05:01
  And we got a normie here, you know, normie girl giving side
• 1:05:05
  eye to a bitcoiner, which is me, and a giant giant coffee cup
• 1:05:10
  that is Bitcoin. And then he's got what, 12345
• 1:05:14
  coffee cups on the side? This is literally me every
• 1:05:16
  single morning. I I wish I had a coffee cup that
• 1:05:20
  big. That would be epic.
• 1:05:21
  Anyways, next name is Maxi's Club and we got a bitcoiner
• 1:05:24
  here. Or rather, it's a dollar.
• 1:05:27
  And it's in a psychedelic days and it's a dollar.
• 1:05:29
  It's like what is my actually it took psychedelics and it's like
• 1:05:31
  what is my life purpose. And then we got the Bitcoin here
• 1:05:34
  with laser eyes and it goes, you help people buy Bitcoin.
• 1:05:37
  The dollars only purpose is to help people buy Bitcoin.
• 1:05:41
  It's the only the only use case left of the dollar.
• 1:05:46
  It's the stag more sense okay. Yesterday we got this post here
• 1:05:53
  from Paul Crew Man, which is just a meme in and of itself.
• 1:05:56
  Like. You know, sometimes I say it all
• 1:05:57
  the time people unironically meme themselves and we got Paul
• 1:06:01
  Krugman here and he's got a CPI chart and he goes, the war on
• 1:06:04
  inflation is over. We won at very little cost and
• 1:06:07
  shouts out to the community. Note and it goes.
• 1:06:10
  The exclusion of food, shelter, energy and used cars is
• 1:06:13
  misleading. All prices included in CPI shows
• 1:06:16
  year over year inflation at 3.75 as of September 2023.
• 1:06:19
  Well, Brady Swenson AKA had citizen Bitcoin from SWAN.
• 1:06:25
  Bitcoin takes it even further goes CPI including food, energy,
• 1:06:29
  shelter and used cars is at 20.41% absolutely amazing.
• 1:06:37
  The numbers don't lie. This is why they constantly,
• 1:06:41
  constantly manipulate the CPI. Because I I think everyone that
• 1:06:45
  that is awake, every average person out there that is going
• 1:06:49
  to the grocery store that is buying gas, that is paying rent.
• 1:06:56
  They all feel the same thing. Inflation is not 234, even 5%.
• 1:07:01
  Everything seems to be 20 to 30% more expensive than it was last
• 1:07:06
  year, than it was few years ago. And as we always say, you cannot
• 1:07:10
  hide the pain of your purchasing power dwindling.
• 1:07:15
  So I'm glad that Brady ran the numbers and that we have. 20%
• 1:07:23
  CPI numbers to most likely be a lot closer to reality.
• 1:07:27
  It really does feel like the dollar has dwindled 20% Anyways.
• 1:07:33
  Drop your main interview score in the chat and we will cover
• 1:07:36
  hours live. But before we do that, I want to
• 1:07:39
  give a shout out to our awesome merch.
• 1:07:41
  Opti is going to do 5 twirls today.
• 1:07:44
  He's wearing the classics. And I can't do, I can't do
• 1:07:47
  twels. I can't do twels.
• 1:07:49
  The twirls, it doesn't work. He will do backflips.
• 1:07:53
  Opti's gonna do 3 backflips in his dad's office.
• 1:07:57

• 1:09:34
  What? What?
• 1:09:34
  I'm getting censored. No, I was going to grab
• 1:09:40

• 1:09:42
  this score. So I got this.
• 1:09:44
  I got this. Else.
• 1:09:48
  This is racist. This is censorship.
• 1:09:51
  El Salvador hat. This has become my new favorite
• 1:09:57
  hat. It was on the desk at Pacific
• 1:10:00
  Bitcoin. I pretty much stole it.
• 1:10:01
  I'm like, I asked Nico. I'm like, where'd you get this?
• 1:10:03
  Like, I don't know. It's like, all right, well, this
• 1:10:05
  is mine now. They gave me one too.
• 1:10:07
  They gave me. Those guys are awesome.
• 1:10:08
  Anyways, yeah, I'm going to catch that.

  Yeah, that's a good score. So the glass water bottle and
• 1:10:14

• 1:10:17
  nodes. If you're trying to a Bitcoin
• 1:10:18
  node, check out Start 9. Wait, Yellow is freaking out
• 1:10:22
  because it was a CPI wasn't a meme.
• 1:10:23
  I know if you watch the beginning of the show, I said I
• 1:10:26
  was going to put it in the end of the show in the memes.
• 1:10:29
  I get it. I get it.

  Hold on. No.

  Dude, I don't. I'm having an existential
• 1:10:41
  crisis. I can't tell if I'm a replicator
• 1:10:43
  or not. I don't know what replicators
• 1:10:46
  are. I read.
• 1:10:47
  I read the Bugle article about replicators, but I'm still
• 1:10:49
  confused. How Yellow Richard Greaser.
• 1:10:53
  How do I know if I am a replicator or not?
• 1:10:56
  I am having an existential crisis right now.
