BREAKING: Bitcoin Ban Gathers Momentum in the US | EP 827 · Simply Bitcoin

• 0:06
  It's all. Going to zero against Bitcoin.
• 0:10
  It's going up forever. You're against Bitcoin.
• 0:19
  You're against freedom. Yeah, Welcome to some of the
• 0:24
  Bitcoin Live are your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin
• 0:26
  revolution. Core, breaking news, culture,
• 0:28
  dramatic warfare. We will be your guide through
• 0:30
  the separation of money and state.
• 0:32
  We got a lot of comments starting off basically saying
• 0:35
  click, click, bait, title, ugh, Someone all said Fudd.
• 0:41
  No, not at all. Not at all.
• 0:43
  Especially if you guys Denver Hoddle said Fudd.
• 0:46
  No, not at all. If you guys have been tuned into
• 0:49
  this channel, we've been like surgically covering all the
• 0:54
  moves by the Biden administration, the moves by the
• 0:58
  anti Bitcoin Senator, Senator Elizabeth Warren.
• 1:03
  And yet they they don't like Bitcoin.
• 1:05
  They they don't want it to succeed it.
• 1:08
  Bitcoin succeeding would mean that they would lose their
• 1:11
  privilege of being able to create money for free that
• 1:13
  everyone else has to work for. I think the worst thing that
• 1:17
  bitcoiners could do is think that bitcoins going to win by
• 1:21
  the full right. This is an adoption race.
• 1:24
  This is about getting the people around you right to understand
• 1:28
  and to wake up to the fact that it's not left versus right.
• 1:32
  It is green. The party of green versus party
• 1:34
  of orange, The party of state currency.
• 1:36
  The party of central bank digital currencies, The party of
• 1:39
  inflation. The party of nihilism.
• 1:42
  The party of slavery versus the party of Bitcoin versus the
• 1:44
  party of orange versus the party of freedom, Bitcoin.
• 1:47
  Prosperity, opportunity, optimism.
• 1:51
  So yeah, it's not BS at all. And today we're going to cover
• 1:55
  the fact that Senator Elizabeth Warren's bill, so-called the
• 2:00
  Digital Assets, Anti Money Launder Money Laundering Act,
• 2:04
  got 9 new sponsors. This is a bipartisan bill.
• 2:08
  This is a Republican and Democrat bill that's being
• 2:12
  pushed in Congress, in the Senate specifically that Pierre
• 2:17
  Rashard would literally, literally said this is not
• 2:20
  simply Bitcoin or Nico's wording.
• 2:21
  He literally tweeted if this bill pat, if this bill would, if
• 2:26
  passed, this bill would ban Bitcoin mining in the United
• 2:30
  States and I would even make the case that the bill would
• 2:32
  basically ban Bitcoin in the United States.
• 2:35
  And that's exactly what the bill was designed to do.
• 2:40
  Make no mistake. So yeah, you can like, you know,
• 2:43
  push it aside and say this is fun.
• 2:45
  You know, this is, you know, this is, this is bullshit.
• 2:49
  This is a clickbait title. This is the separation of money
• 2:53
  and state. Take it seriously.
• 2:55
  There's a lot of vested interest that it it's not convenient for
• 3:00
  them. If Bitcoin wins, they want you
• 3:03
  under a central bank digital currency.
• 3:05
  They want to control what you think and what you say and what
• 3:08
  you do. And one of the most effective
• 3:10
  mechanisms to do that is by controlling money.
• 3:15
  If you control the money, you control the incentive structure.
• 3:18
  That's exactly what the whole social credit system is all
• 3:21
  about, right, in China. So you know, if you talk against
• 3:24
  the state, you know they take a percentage of your money right
• 3:28
  out of your paycheck. They don't allow you to travel.
• 3:31
  They don't allow you to sign your kids up to certain schools.
• 3:34
  That is a forcing function and that is no longer theoretical.
• 3:38
  This has happened in the West already.
• 3:41
  I feel like people have just forgotten about the Canadian
• 3:43
  truckers protest. They literally froze people's
• 3:46
  bank accounts because they were protesting the government
• 3:50
  because of the lockdowns. How?
• 3:53
  If you agree with the protest or not, this is something that is
• 3:56
  becoming more and more common. I don't agree with your speech.
• 4:01
  We're going to cut off your money.
• 4:02
  Look at what happened to Russell Brand, extremely popular
• 4:07
  independent content creator that's going against the
• 4:10
  establishment, legacy corporate media narrative.
• 4:14
  And they demonetized his YouTube.
• 4:17
  Like you could take it lightly and you could say, look, we're
• 4:20
  playing a game and memes and kumbaya, but this is serious.
• 4:24
  This is Bitcoin or slavery or her beauty.
• 4:27
  On says it, Bitcoin or death. I I truly believe that.
• 4:31
  So yeah, make all the jokes you want.
• 4:34
  Say this is a FUD is a clickbait title when you're dead serious.
• 4:39
  We have the receipts. We will literally cover it for
• 4:41
  you today when you read the text of the bill.
• 4:44
  They are not messing around. This is no joke.
• 4:48
  So yeah, we're going to cover all that today.
• 4:52
  And we also have a very special guest, not Sean Harris, the Big
• 4:57
  Sean Harris and he's part of the Meme Factory also throwing the
• 5:01
  having party that's coming up in El Salvador.
• 5:05
  How you doing, Sean? Welcome to simply.
• 5:06
  Hey, what's up Nico? I'm doing great, man.
• 5:09
  Nice, nice rant all ready to get it going.
• 5:11
  I'm. I got the juices flowing and I'm
• 5:13
  happy to be here with, in my opinion, the two hardest working
• 5:16
  men in Bitcoin. Appreciate it, man.
• 5:19
  Appreciate it. Oh, you.
• 5:21
  You spoke of two hardest working men.
• 5:24
  Opti, How you doing, brother? Are you?
• 5:29
  Yeah, dude, I'm doing wonderful. This is a great day.
• 5:32
  And you know, Sean got our conversation, our pep talk
• 5:37
  before the show. And I absolutely love Big Sean
• 5:39
  Harris. This guy's a winner.
• 5:41
  He's got that winning mentality I brought him on in the past to
• 5:44
  talk about that winning mentality.
• 5:45
  I'm I might actually, you know, pick his brain a little bit on
• 5:48
  that one after or kind of towards the end of the culture.
• 5:51
  But we're going to be talking about having party today.
• 5:53
  So you know. So we want to see you guys down
• 5:55
  in El Salvador. It's going to be awesome.
• 5:57
  But yeah man, crazy stuff. I did see that these what was
• 6:02
  it? 9-9 more politicians got added
• 6:04
  to it and you know, actually I'm going to save.
• 6:06
  I'm going to save my past Mixfields take for the the news
• 6:09
  story. But this is this stuff excites
• 6:12
  me. This is the stuff I like to see.
• 6:13
  I it's almost like our politicians just constantly take
• 6:17
  cues from China and then don't realize that they're going to
• 6:20
  get wrecked. But what we'll save that for
• 6:21
  later. There go, we'll save that for
• 6:22
  later. Yeah, man.
• 6:25
  But yeah, dude, it's a it's it's it's crazy, dude, it's, it's
• 6:28
  crazy. But this is a separation of
• 6:30
  money and state that this is what it's all about.
• 6:31
  This is what, literally Bitcoin was invented for.
• 6:35
  Remember the theories and that were put up by the book, the
• 6:39
  sovereign individual, right? Basically predicting that as we
• 6:43
  head into the, you know, information age, so to speak.
• 6:46
  And governments lose their monopoly on money.
• 6:49
  You know, they're going to become more and more desperate
• 6:51
  as more and more people choose to opt out of state money.
• 6:54
  And as Tucker said the episode that he did before his interview
• 6:59
  with Javi Miley, which is has a very good chance at winning the,
• 7:03
  you know, the presidency in Argentina, he he literally said
• 7:06
  that. Got that?
• 7:07
  Politicians and governments get a tremendous amount of power
• 7:10
  from having this God like power of being able to create money
• 7:14
  for free that everyone else has to work for.
• 7:15
  Also before we jump into the numbers I want to give a shout
• 7:19
  out to the rest of the Simply team which bust their asses off
• 7:22
  too. So there's so many Rustin, Dell,
• 7:25
  John, Sophie, Zach, Wine off to help me here.
• 7:31
  There's so many Jacks. Sartak, Jax, we got a new simply
• 7:36
  Bitcoin member from from India as well.
• 7:39
  Who else? Who else?
• 7:41
  Wine. A kiss, Zimo.
• 7:44
  ZIMO team Megan Isa Wow. Yeah, so yeah, Sophie, Sophie's
• 7:49
  in there. You got like 12 people?
• 7:51
  Yeah, I'll, I'll write them all down now.
• 7:53
  I think we covered them all. It's a it's oh Mike, it's a MM.
• 7:58
  So it's a it's a lot of us. It's a lot of us that that make
• 8:01
  this happen. It's not just us, we're just the
• 8:03
  pretty faces, so there's a lot of.
• 8:07
  The faces. Not the pretty faces.
• 8:09
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:11
  OK. OK.
• 8:11
  All right. All right, everybody, let's jump
• 8:13
  straight to the numbers. We got a lot to talk about
• 8:15
  today. Check it out the Bitcoin
• 8:18
  numbers. Is your Bitcoin and cold storage
• 8:21
  really secure? Is your seed phrase really
• 8:24
  secure? Stamp seeds?
• 8:26
  Do it yourself Kit has everything you need to hammer
• 8:29
  your seed words into commercial grade titanium plates instead of
• 8:34
  just writing them on paper. Don't store your generational
• 8:38
  wealth on paper. Papers prone to water damage,
• 8:41
  fire damage. You want to put your
• 8:43
  generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet
• 8:46
  earth, Titanium. Your words are actually stamped
• 8:49
  into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps.
• 8:52
  And once your words are in, they aren't going anywhere.
• 8:55
  No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling
• 8:59
  everywhere. Titanium stamp seeds will
• 9:01
  survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire.
• 9:04
  They're also crush proof, waterproof, non corrosive, and
• 9:07
  time proof. All things that paper is not
• 9:09
  allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with Peace of Mind for
• 9:13
  the long haul. Stamp your seed on stamp seed.
• 9:17
  Alright guys, I literally made it super easy for you guys.
• 9:20
  Don't put yourself in a position where you have to explain to
• 9:22
  your grandchildren why you lost your generational wealth because
• 9:26
  you stored it on paper. Store it on titanium.
• 9:28
  Scan the QR code on your screen. Use promo code.
• 9:31
  Simply get 15% off anything on the stamp seed website Anyways,
• 9:36
  at the time of recording the Bitcoin price is 27,350 sats per
• 9:42
  dollar. 3656 block height 808,456 blocks to having 31,554
• 9:53
  having estimate April 21st 2024 Total lightning network capacity
• 9:57
  4816 Bitcoin capacity value 131 million U.S. dollars.
• 10:05
  Realize monetary inflation 1.75% The market capitalization of
• 10:11
  Bitcoin $533 billion with the B Bitcoin versus gold market cap
• 10:17
  4.12%. I I say this every single day,
• 10:22
  but the realized monetary inflation is my favorite
• 10:25
  statistic because it continues to embarrass Fiat currencies and
• 10:29
  that number is going to go down forever.
• 10:32
  And the Bitcoin versus gold market cap, that number is going
• 10:35
  to continue to go up forever. Once it breaks 100 or 100% plus,
• 10:39
  that is going to feel very, very good.
• 10:41
  And at that point, at that point alone, Peter Schiff is going to
• 10:45
  realize he was wrong the entire time anyway.
• 10:48
  He won't. No, he won't.
• 10:50
  Gold is still. I don't, bro.
• 10:52
  I mean, at that point I feel like the numbers are just right
• 10:54
  up in your face, right up in your grill.
• 10:56
  Anyways, on the more libertarian angle, because we are kind of
• 11:01
  bitcoiners at the end of the day, you know, we we, we believe
• 11:04
  in small government to say the least.
• 11:06
  Here is Iran book. She's the author of the book
• 11:11
  Atlas Shrugged, which I highly, highly recommend to anyone.
• 11:16
  And she gets asked a very simple question.
• 11:18
  How do we build roads without government force taxation?
• 11:23
  Let's see what she has to say. How do we build roads,
• 11:27
  sanitation facilities, hospitals, schools, if you are
• 11:31
  not, if the government is not permitted?
• 11:34
  To force, if you will by vote, taxation use your word.
• 11:39
  We have to depend upon the trickle down theory, upon the
• 11:43
  noblesse oblige, The largesse I will ask.
• 11:46
  I will answer you by asking you a question.
• 11:50
  Who pays for all those things? We, all of us pay for these
• 11:53
  things when you admit that you want to take money by force from
• 11:59
  someone. And ask me, how are we going to
• 12:01
  build hospitals or roads? You admit that someone is
• 12:05
  producing the money, the wealth that will make those roads
• 12:08
  possible. Now you have no right to tell
• 12:12
  the man who produced the wealth in what way you want him to
• 12:17
  spend it. If you need his money, you can
• 12:20
  obtain it only by his voluntary consent.
• 12:23
  And you believe in the eventual goodwill of all human beings, or
• 12:27
  at least that top? Echelon of human beings whom you
• 12:30
  believe will give willingly. No goodwill is necessary, only
• 12:35
  self-interest. I believe in private roads,
• 12:38
  private post offices, private schools.
• 12:40
  When industry breaks down momentarily and there is
• 12:44
  unemployment, mass unemployment, we should not be permitted to
• 12:47
  get unemployment insurance. Social Security we do not need
• 12:51
  will depend upon the self-interest of these
• 12:54
  enlightened industrialists whom you so admire.
• 12:58
  To take care of things when when the economy needs a little
• 13:01
  lubrication and there are millions of people out of work.
• 13:03
  Study economics. A free economy will not break
• 13:07
  down. All depressions are caused by
• 13:10
  government interference and the cure is always offered so far to
• 13:16
  take more of the poisons that caused the disaster.
• 13:19
  Depressions are not a result of a free economy.
• 13:23
  OK, so and let's talk about that.
• 13:25
  So first of all, the the self-interest aspect of that.
• 13:29
  So I want to focus on that first.
• 13:31
  OK, Bitcoin is 100%, it's a decentralized network.
• 13:38
  It's a money. The decentralized monetary
• 13:40
  network is completely run 100% by self-interest.
• 13:47
  I'm running my own Bitcoin node because I don't want to trust
• 13:50
  someone else's. I recommend the start nine.
• 13:52
  It's fucking badass. That's what I run myself.
• 13:55
  But you could also. You could also build 1.
• 13:57
  Whatever floats your boat. But that's the whole point,
• 14:00
  right? I run my own node because I
• 14:03
  don't want to trust someone else's copy of the blockchain.
• 14:05
  I don't want my transactions docks, I don't want my balance
• 14:08
  docks. So I run my own, my own node.
• 14:10
  I don't need to do that, but I do it out of self-interest.
• 14:14
  When the CCP banned Bitcoin miners within their borders and
• 14:19
  the hash rate dropped by 50%, I believe that's the reason we
• 14:22
  didn't hit 100K last time. By the way, those miners had to
• 14:26
  sell Bitcoin so that they can relocate to a friendlier
• 14:29
  jurisdiction. There was no central authority
• 14:32
  telling them to do so. They did it out of incentive.
• 14:38
  Fiat money works through coercion.
• 14:40
  They coerced you to using the money that steals from you.
• 14:45
  So Bitcoin itself is an example of what she just talked about, a
• 14:50
  monetary network that is running by itself, by people acting out
• 14:56
  of their own self-interest. Now what's beautiful about
• 14:58
  Bitcoin is that by me acting my own self-interest even.
• 15:01
  Let's talk about simply Bitcoin. We show up every single day, we
• 15:03
  talk about Bitcoin. We're passionate about Bitcoin.
• 15:06
  Obviously it helps, but it helps everyone else too.
• 15:11
  It helps the network. That's the whole point, right?
• 15:14
  Is that you watching your back in a system with aligned
• 15:17
  incentives helps everyone else. And again, I'm going to mention
• 15:21
  this and maybe it's too early to say this, but I I do not believe
• 15:25
  that El Salvador, which is the first country that made Bitcoin
• 15:29
  legal tender, the person that was elected into office is
• 15:34
  actually doing the things that he said he was going to do.
• 15:38
  Is that a coincidence that the first society that fixed the
• 15:41
  bass layer, that made the bass layer sound, the president, the
• 15:47
  person that got elected is doing the things that he was supposed
• 15:50
  to be doing if he got elected right.
• 15:53
  So I completely agree with that. And now there is another thing
• 15:55
  that she said, which was really interesting to me as well, which
• 16:00
  is the idea that that the idea that government, every time that
• 16:08
  they've been involved, they've made the depressions worse.
• 16:11
  Because that was one of the arguments that the Biden
• 16:13
  administration used in the Presidential Economic Report,
• 16:16
  where they dedicated 20 entire pages.
• 16:18
  Making the case as to why central banking is necessary,
• 16:22
  why ACBDC is a good idea, and why cryptocurrencies, including
• 16:26
  Bitcoin, will never work. Because you need a state, you
• 16:30
  need a sovereign in order for money to work.
• 16:32
  OK, the Great Depression, the 2008 financial crisis, and all
• 16:39
  the other things that happened in between happened under
• 16:42
  fucking central banking. All of that happened when there
• 16:46
  was a central bank. The worst depressions and
• 16:51
  recessions in United States history happened under a central
• 16:57
  bank. That was the exact reason, and
• 17:00
  that was the pitch that was given to the American public as
• 17:04
  to why we needed central banking.
• 17:07
  It made things worse. And if you're a Gen. zer, if
• 17:10
  you're a millennial, they're literally telling you at this
• 17:14
  point at the Contillionaire conference, you'll own nothing
• 17:17
  and be happy. They're literally telling you
• 17:19
  they're saying the quiet part out loud.
• 17:20
  It's gotten to that point. So when we were when people were
• 17:24
  saying in the beginning oh this is FUD oh this is you know this
• 17:28
  is a click bait title. No this is literally what you
• 17:32
  are fighting for. You are fighting for and this
• 17:34
  isn't a a kinetic fight this is a in for this is more
• 17:38
  information warfare by the way really interesting clip.
• 17:40
  We'll play it for you guys tomorrow.
• 17:42
  The UN lady is starting to call it information warfare too and
• 17:46
  why we have to censor more and more.
• 17:47
  We'll play you guys that clip tomorrow but this is information
• 17:51
  warfare. Make no mistake, this is about
• 17:53
  winning over the hearts and minds of individuals to adopt A
• 17:56
  currency that doesn't steal from them.
• 18:00
  A currency that helps everyone else, right.
• 18:03
  What they want you using is a currency that helps them, that
• 18:06
  helps the state, right? It's fundamentally what it is.
• 18:09
  So yeah, man, super, super based, definitely way before her
• 18:14
  time. I think that the world that Iron
• 18:17
  Rand envisioned or the world that Ron Paul envisioned, right?
• 18:22
  I do not think that those worlds would be possible without
• 18:26
  Bitcoin. The gold standard failed.
• 18:28
  It was coopted, OK and I know a lot of gold bugs hate that.
• 18:31
  I personally love gold. Like if you if there's a gold,
• 18:34
  there's a gold bar. I love holding in my hand, and
• 18:36
  it's dope, but it's extremely limited because of its physical
• 18:40
  characteristics. And I think that's where Bitcoin
• 18:43
  will shine, That's where Bitcoin will succeed where gold failed,
• 18:47
  right? The ability for an individual to
• 18:49
  theoretically store 1,000,000 billions of or trillions of
• 18:53
  dollars by writing down 12 words or 24 words, and if you're in a
• 18:58
  pickle, literally you can memorize them fundamentally
• 19:03
  changes the balance of power between the individual and the
• 19:06
  state, And I think over the long term that's a forcing function.
• 19:11
  So anyways, that's my take. Super, super badass author.
• 19:16
  Her work is incredible, but I I just got to say, I think it was
• 19:20
  before her time. Like this whole thing goes
• 19:22
  before her time. She started this.
• 19:23
  We were standing on the shoulders of fucking giants,
• 19:26
  okay. And it's up to us.
• 19:29
  It's up to us, right? We were.
• 19:31
  We were blessed to be born in this generation.
• 19:33
  At this moment in time. It's in your hands.
• 19:36
  Are you going to let it fail? You're going to let it slip
• 19:38
  through your fingers? Are you going to let your
• 19:40
  children grow up in a future where they're fucking enslaved?
• 19:45
  That's the question I have for you guys anyway.
• 19:47
  Zapti, what's your take? Yeah, well I'm glad you played
• 19:50
  this because constantly you hear the same same rebuttal to like
• 19:55
  Bitcoin or if you separate money from state, what's gonna happen?
• 19:59
  Who's gonna build my roads? Like we constantly get this
• 20:02
  same. Just it always gets rolled out
• 20:06
  and of course Iran just thoroughly destroys it and and
• 20:09
  you just love to see it and it's kind of what we always say you
• 20:12
  know, and and it's back to the sovereign individual as well, is
• 20:14
  that once you get on the Bitcoin standard governments will have
• 20:18
  to treat their citizens like customers and they will have to
• 20:21
  provide instead of saying like you know, do what we tell you to
• 20:24
  do or else you're going to jail. And here's some guys with guns
• 20:27
  coming to your house. You know, give us some money so
• 20:29
  we can do what we want to do with it.
• 20:31
  And I saw a meme yesterday and it's not a new meme, but it's
• 20:34
  kind of relevant to today. And it was something on the
• 20:36
  lines of like if it's not voluntary, then it's it, then
• 20:39
  it's coercion, then it's authoritarian.
• 20:41
  And and I think few people understand this, they, they
• 20:43
  think they're doing something, you know, beneficial to society
• 20:47
  because it's like, oh, you know, we're paying for our fair share
• 20:50
  of society and the government's going to do what's best for us.
• 20:53
  And it's like, no, they're literally stealing from you and
• 20:56
  you have no say in the process. So if it's not voluntary, then
• 20:59
  it's coercion. And I think we should double
• 21:01
  down on that mean more often and really try to separate the idea
• 21:05
  that your government should work for you like they are a
• 21:08
  business, they you are its customer, this is how it should
• 21:12
  be. But of course we don't leave in
• 21:14
  the world of should have, could have, would haves.
• 21:16
  We live in this world right now where the powers that be have
• 21:19
  the guns, they have the money, and they can basically throw you
• 21:21
  in a cage if you don't agree with them.
• 21:23
  Well, Bitcoin is taking away that power, and of course it's
• 21:26
  not happening as quick as everyone wants to.
• 21:28
  But there will be roads, guys, do not fret.
• 21:31
  The roads will be built because people need to go places.
• 21:34
  The road, actually, I say it all the time.
• 21:36
  You know, governments are incompetent.
• 21:38
  Like bureaucrats are more incompetent than the free
• 21:40
  market. So I can only imagine that the
• 21:43
  roads will be better on the Bitcoin standard because people
• 21:46
  will realize, hey, I need to go from point A to point B.
• 21:49
  And and on that note, you know, I'm in, I'm in Dallas right now
• 21:52
  and the toll roads out here, you pay for them and there's so much
• 21:55
  better than the than the public roads and it's like this is the
• 21:58
  future that you're going for. Yeah, you know you you don't get
• 22:02
  free Rd. access, but hey, get to where you want to.
• 22:05
  Free though that's. Of course that's.
• 22:08
  The whole thing, it's like, exactly free.
• 22:13
  Free education? It ain't free, bro.
• 22:15
  And and the roads are better and you get there quicker.
• 22:18
  Like everything is a service man.
• 22:20
  Jumping John. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:22
  I just want to say you know when you, when you look at these,
• 22:25
  these questions, these are type of questions that we all get
• 22:27
  when people talk about Bitcoin, right?
• 22:29
  They go, well, what would happen if there's a big crisis and we
• 22:32
  need and we need to print a bunch of money?
• 22:34
  And so I think, yeah, it's like all of these questions are
• 22:37
  backwards. And what it really shows to me
• 22:40
  is most people want to live in a proof of stake society where
• 22:44
  everything is just provided to them.
• 22:46
  There's no responsibility. There's no freedom either.
• 22:49
  And so when you live in a proof of work society, you actually
• 22:53
  have to work for what you want, and you have to think about what
• 22:56
  you want in the future, and you plan for the future.
• 22:59
  And it's not just like, oh, we go from one crisis to another
• 23:02
  crisis to another crisis. No, it's you're planning out not
• 23:06
  just your life, but you're planning out future generations
• 23:08
  that are going to build off of what you've built.
• 23:11
  And so that's what I look at in El Salvador.
• 23:14
  They're building a society that's proof of work, where
• 23:17
  people aren't afraid to work, and they're willing to work in
• 23:20
  whatever opportunity they get. And here in the United States,
• 23:23
  you know at least where I am, and it's kind of amazing.
• 23:26
  We have the most opportunities probably out of any country, and
• 23:29
  you have the most amount of people that don't want to work.
• 23:32
  And so it just goes to beg the question of why are there so
• 23:36
  many people that want to just get things for free?
• 23:39
  And why are there people that are in worse situations that are
• 23:41
  willing to work for the things that they want and are willing
• 23:45
  to work hard? And so I think that's the
• 23:47
  difference between a lot of these societies and these, you
• 23:50
  know, a lot of people's mentalities is who's going to
• 23:52
  build the roads? Well, if you need the road or if
• 23:55
  I need the road, then I'll build the road.
• 23:57
  That's who will build the road. And it's that simple.
• 24:00
  Yeah, 100 percent, 100%. And then again, like, it's like
• 24:03
  as if like that that thing because it's like, it's like
• 24:07
  not. It's like like it's almost as if
• 24:09
  it goes over their head, right? Like look like so you need a
• 24:12
  road to get from A to B right? So you would think that OK,
• 24:17
  maybe I should invest in this road because if not I'm not
• 24:20
  going to be able to get to A to B.
• 24:23
  And again like it's just it's it's it's incentives.
• 24:27
  But but I think this is really and I always I'm always going to
• 24:30
  bring it back to Bitcoin. I really think that this is what
• 24:33
  makes Bitcoin so special because the way that it's Architect it
• 24:36
  doesn't allow that interventionism.
• 24:39
  It doesn't allow that central authority to kind of dictate it
• 24:43
  and. Because it doesn't allow that.
• 24:46
  It's proving every block, every 10 minutes TikTok next block.
• 24:51
  It's proving that an incentive based system could stand on its
• 24:56
  own 2 feet without anything trying to stop it or any
• 25:00
  anything trying to interact with it.
• 25:03
  And I think that's why this whole Bitcoin experiment, this
• 25:06
  whole Bitcoin thing is, is really putting the fear of God.
• 25:10
  Into a lot of the central planners.
• 25:12
  I think that's why you see the legacy corporate media freak out
• 25:14
  the way they are. Because if it does prove that
• 25:18
  there is A and not only if that not only that there's an
• 25:21
  alternative, but it proves that there's a better alternative,
• 25:24
  they're in trouble. They're in very, very big
• 25:27
  trouble and the only you go ahead.
• 25:29
  Well, as I said, one of the thing that she's that she said
• 25:31
  to was, well, who pays for the roads already.
• 25:33
  Like right now, who pays for him?
• 25:34
  He goes. We all pay for him.
• 25:36
  It's like, OK, well then we would all.
• 25:38
  Then maybe we would find a system where we're, it
• 25:40
  incentivizes everybody and we would all pay for the roads in a
• 25:44
  different way. And instead of trusting 1
• 25:47
  central entity, it would actually, there would be a lot
• 25:50
  more transparency. There would be a there would be
• 25:52
  a lot more things that we could see where our money is actually
• 25:55
  going. And you know, these politicians
• 25:58
  just wouldn't pay their friends these fat bonus checks on top of
• 26:01
  building the roads as well. And I think that's that is the
• 26:04
  big issue. 100% Well, also also just to double down, I mean, I
• 26:08
  think people forget that there were roads before 1913 and the
• 26:11
  Federal Reserve was existing like there's always been roads
• 26:15
  and there always will be. Roads.
• 26:16
  That's impossible. That's that's that's
• 26:19
  misinformation. That's misinformation.
• 26:21
  Roads that are better in Europe than been around for like 1000
• 26:24
  years. Oh, man.
• 26:26
  All right, everybody, let's jump into the news.
• 26:29
  We got a lot to talk about today.
• 26:30
  Let's check it out. The Daily News I want to give a
• 26:38

• 27:32
  more. All right everybody.
• 27:35
  I also made it very incredibly easy for you.
• 27:37

• 27:40
  pull up your phone, take the camera app out, and it will take
• 27:43
  you directly to the. Foundation Devices website where
• 27:46
  you can get yourself a passport Harbor wallet.
• 27:49
  Not your keys, not your Bitcoin. Let's start off the new strong
• 27:53
  with Opti's ex-girlfriend. She is once again trying to out
• 27:57
  me. Mopti.
• 27:58
  I don't think she's winning. Here's a here's a tweet by
• 28:01
  Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, herself.
• 28:05
  At the ECB, our mission is price stability.
• 28:08
  Our fight is against inflation. Our key tool is interest rates.
• 28:12
  We decide to raise interest rates again to reinforce
• 28:15
  progress and win the battle against inflation.
• 28:18
  Clearly that trip with Opti in the French Riviera did not go as
• 28:23
  planned anyways, so this is the definition of gaslighting.
• 28:29
  There's also a video of of Justin Trudeau.
• 28:34
  Literally blaming supermarket stores for the recent price
• 28:40
  increases for the inflation. And again, once you're you're,
• 28:43
  what you're seeing is they're willing to blame anything and
• 28:47
  everything but themselves, even though they're the ones who are
• 28:51
  responsible for this in the 1st place.
• 28:54
  So let's play the first video by Christine Lagarde and then we'll
• 28:58
  play you guys the video from Justin Trudeau.
• 29:00
  Let's check it out, the ECB. Our mission is price stability,
• 29:07
  our fight is against inflation. Our key tool under the
• 29:10
  circumstances is interest rates, so I took the opportunity of
• 29:15
  today's meeting at the Eurogroup to brief ministers about the
• 29:19
  decision that the ECB Governing Council took yesterday and as
• 29:24
  you know, we decided to raise interest rates again by 25 basis
• 29:29
  points to reinforce progress. In order to reach our target and
• 29:36
  win the battle against inflation, the ECB, like you
• 29:42
  printed money. Like you printed money, you
• 29:45
  caused this. Moving on to the video by by
• 29:50
  Justin Trudeau, let's let's take a look at what he has to say.
• 29:54
  Let's say, let's see who he blames.
• 29:57
  It's not OK that our biggest grocery stores are making record
• 30:02
  profits while Canadians are struggling to put food on the
• 30:05
  table. So Minister Champagne will be
• 30:09
  calling on the heads of large grocers to come to Ottawa with a
• 30:12
  plan to address the rising cost of food.
• 30:16
  And we expect to hear from them by Thanksgiving on what their
• 30:19
  plan is to stabilize prices and it.
• 30:33
  And let me be very clear, if their plan doesn't provide real
• 30:38
  relief for the middle class and people working hard to join it,
• 30:42
  then we will take further action and we are not ruling anything
• 30:47
  out, including tax measures. Remember what Iron Ran said in
• 30:55
  the beginning, right? Remember.
• 30:59
  The gaslighting by Opti's exgirlfriend, Christine Lagarde.
• 31:02
  And I would, you know, normally I would defuse it and Opti and I
• 31:06
  would, you know, go back and forth and tell you exactly why
• 31:10
  they are the ones who are responsible for this issue in
• 31:14
  the 1st place, central banks and governments.
• 31:17
  But I'll let Tucker do it, because I think Tucker will do a
• 31:20
  much better job in 55 seconds explaining the bullshit coming
• 31:26
  out of Justin Trudeau. And explaining the BS coming out
• 31:29
  of Christine Lagarde. Let's check it out.
• 31:31
  For politicians, money is power. They always crave more.
• 31:36
  But because they don't actually produce anything, they've got
• 31:38
  limited ways to get it. They can hike taxes on the
• 31:41
  population and collect the cash at gunpoint.
• 31:44
  That's the most straightforward way.
• 31:46
  But it's also highly unpopular. Voters don't like paying higher
• 31:49
  taxes. They resent it.
• 31:51
  So over time, most politicians in most places decided it's a
• 31:55
  lot easier to devalue the currency.
• 31:58
  You keep the tax rate pretty much the same.
• 32:00
  You just print more money. At first, most people don't even
• 32:03
  notice that it's happening. The money seems free.
• 32:06
  This is how the US government just paid for the COVID checks
• 32:09
  and the Warn Ukraine and pretty much everything else that
• 32:12
  Washington has done for the past couple of decades just churn out
• 32:15
  more dollars. You can see why it's a popular
• 32:18
  strategy, but what happens? If you keep doing it year after
• 32:23
  year, we really ought to know. So to find out, we flew to
• 32:26
  Argentina. What is happening in Argentina?
• 32:28
  Argentina is currently dealing with more than 100% inflation.
• 32:33
  So the gas lighting coming out of politicians, the gas lighting
• 32:37
  coming out of central bankers absolutely taking no
• 32:41
  responsibility for something that they are solely responsible
• 32:45
  for, it's a lot easier to blame other things.
• 32:48
  It's a lot easier to blame the pandemic.
• 32:50
  It's about a lot easier to blame Russia.
• 32:53
  But they are the sole cause of what happened.
• 32:57
  They are the sole cause of Millennials and Gen.
• 33:01
  Zers not being able to afford homes.
• 33:03
  They're the sole cause of 61% of Americans living paycheck to
• 33:09
  paycheck. It was the money printing and
• 33:12
  you know you're over the target when all the legacy corporate
• 33:16
  media. Is focusing on El Salvador
• 33:19
  focusing on Argentina rather than focusing on what what the
• 33:24
  actual what the actual cause of all of this is?
• 33:29
  You know it. It's like it's so obvious.
• 33:32
  And Tucker, who was the most famous legacy corporate media
• 33:36
  broadcasters by far 3.5 million average views per episode, he
• 33:42
  got fired. I think that tells you
• 33:44
  everything you need to know. About what happens when you
• 33:47
  don't tow the party line. Anyways, moving on to today's
• 33:51
  news, I want to cover this real quickly and then we'll get Sean
• 33:54
  Harris and and Opti's Opti's take on all this.
• 33:57
  So to address the name of the episode, the title of today's
• 34:02
  episode, this is a bill that we've been covering for quite a
• 34:05
  while now. But what was really interesting
• 34:08
  is that recently, Recently. Senator Warren managed to get 9
• 34:13
  new cosponsors to her anti crypto bill, all Democrats.
• 34:17
  This is not change the trajectory of the bill as most
• 34:20
  of these cosigners were expected but keep pay attention.
• 34:25
  This is this is like not a joke. And if you happen to live in one
• 34:30
  of these states Remember Remember we are you going to
• 34:35
  vote for the party of Fiat? The party of Green?
• 34:38
  The Party of slavery. Or are you going to vote for the
• 34:42
  party of Orange? It's not a Republican or
• 34:45
  Democrat thing. It's not a left verse right
• 34:48
  thing. It's a freedom verse slavery
• 34:51
  thing. It's just as simple as that.
• 34:54
  So you have Tina Smith from Minnesota, You have Angus King
• 34:59
  from Maine. You have Janine Shaheen from New
• 35:03
  Hampshire. You have Bob Casey from
• 35:05
  Pennsylvania, you have Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut, you
• 35:08
  have Michael Bennett from Colorado, and you have Katherine
• 35:12
  Cortez Mostro from Nevada. So keep in mind, if you're from
• 35:16
  any of those states, your senator is actively trying to
• 35:19
  sabotage Bitcoin in the United States.
• 35:22
  Keep that in mind. Okay.
• 35:24
  So let's get to what this bill encompasses, what it's about.
• 35:28
  Here is an article from decrypt and I think it does a great job.
• 35:31
  So the title for audio listeners is Elizabeth Warren's Digital
• 35:34
  Asset Anti Money Laundering Act gets 9 new sponsors.
• 35:38
  It goes on to say US Senator Elizabeth Warren has secured the
• 35:41
  support of nine other Senators for her Digital Asset Anti Money
• 35:44
  Laundering Act, boosting her efforts to tackle the perceived
• 35:47
  risks posed by cryptocurrencies. According to a press release on
• 35:51
  Warren's official website, Democratic Senators, which I
• 35:54
  just read you a lot of them as well as Independent Senator, has
• 35:57
  joined the coalition supporting the bill.
• 36:00
  Quote Crypto is enabling rogue nations, drug Lords, ransomware,
• 36:06
  gangs and fraudsters to launder billions in stolen funds, evade
• 36:10
  sanctions, fund illegal weapons programs, and profit from
• 36:14
  devastating cyber attacks. I'm going to flip that on its
• 36:16
  head. Fiat is enabling Rd.
• 36:19
  Nations, drug Lords, ransomware, gangs and fraudsters to launder
• 36:23
  billions in stolen funds, evade sanctions, fund illegal weapons
• 36:27
  programs. And profit from devastating
• 36:30
  cyber attacks. I bet you if you put them.
• 36:33
  If you did a sidebyside comparison, what is enabling
• 36:37
  more Fiat or crypto? I guarantee you it would be
• 36:41
  Fiat. So this is a straw man argument.
• 36:44
  This is a boogeyman argument. They did the same thing back in
• 36:48
  2001 with the Patriot Act. It was horrific what happened in
• 36:53
  the United States, but you cannot deny at this point that
• 36:56
  the government used that as a justification to take away
• 37:00
  Americans, freedoms of which they've never given those
• 37:03
  freedoms back. They've never repealed the A
• 37:05
  Patriot Act. They've kept on that power.
• 37:08
  They've kept on to that power. And you can make the argument
• 37:11
  that they've now weaponized a lot of that power against the
• 37:15
  American people as well. Right, So forgive me for not
• 37:19
  believing the bullshit that I just I am.
• 37:22
  I am highly skeptical. Anyways, it goes on to say
• 37:26
  Warren described the Digital Asset Anti Money Laundering Act
• 37:29
  as, quote, the toughest. But on the table cracking down
• 37:33
  on crypto's illicit use and giving regulators more tools in
• 37:37
  their toolbox. Adding that to the expanded
• 37:40
  coalition shows that Congress is now ready to take action.
• 37:43
  First introduced in December last year and resubmitted in
• 37:46
  August 2023 along with Senators Joe Manchin, Roger Marshall and
• 37:51
  Lindsey Graham. By the way, Lindsey Graham is a
• 37:52
  Republican, which is a why I tell you guys, it's not left
• 37:55
  verse, right? It's not Democrat verse
• 37:56
  Republican. It is the party of Green, the
• 37:59
  party of Fiat versus the party of Orange, the party of Bitcoin
• 38:04
  and freedom. Anyways, the bill aims to close
• 38:07
  regular close regulatory loopholes and bring the digital
• 38:10
  asset ecosystem into greater compliance.
• 38:13
  If passed, it would extend the regulatory framework that
• 38:16
  applies to traditional financial industry.
• 38:19
  Institutions to cryptocurrency firms subjecting them to KYC and
• 38:23
  anti money laundering requirements outlined in the
• 38:25
  Bank Secrecy Act. Remember the Bank Secrecy Act,
• 38:28
  which was originally passed in 1971, required for any $10,000
• 38:33
  transaction or above to be reported to the government back
• 38:37
  when they passed that law back in 1971?
• 38:40
  If you adjust $10,000 for for inflation, it's roughly 70 to
• 38:45
  $80,000 today. Right.
• 38:48
  That number remained exactly the same.
• 38:50
  And remember what the Biden administration tried to pass
• 38:54
  last year in the socalled infrastructure bill?
• 38:56
  It would have required any transaction over $600 to be
• 39:01
  reported to the government. So forgive me for my skepticism.
• 39:06
  Anyways, this includes digital asset wallet providers, minors
• 39:10
  and validators. So did you hear that last part?
• 39:12
  Did you hear what it said? It will require digital asset
• 39:16
  wallet providers, meaning ky seeing wallets, ky seeing
• 39:21
  minors, and ky seeing nodes. Is that feasible?
• 39:26
  Is that possible that this is essentially a de facto band?
• 39:32
  And again, this isn't just Nico or simply Bitcoin saying this.
• 39:36
  This is Pierre Rashard, VP of Research at Riot Platforms, one
• 39:40
  of the largest publicly traded mining companies in the United
• 39:43
  States. He's saying it himself.
• 39:45
  If passed, this bill would ban Bitcoin mining in the United
• 39:49
  States. So make no mistake, this is
• 39:52
  Elizabeth Warren and a lot of other senators trying to ban
• 39:56
  Bitcoin in the United States. Why?
• 40:00
  Well, I played you the clip from Tucker.
• 40:02
  I played you the clip from Christine Lagarde.
• 40:04
  I played you the clip I forget from Justin Trudeau.
• 40:09
  Bitcoin is a threat to the status quo.
• 40:12
  It takes away the privilege of being able to print money for
• 40:16
  free that everyone else has to work for.
• 40:19
  It keeps going, the article says cracking down on non custodial
• 40:23
  wallets. The document aims to take action
• 40:26
  against non custodial or unhosted crypto wallet.
• 40:30
  I don't know about you guys, but I never remember hearing the
• 40:32
  word unhosted in the Bitcoin white paper.
• 40:36
  Take a look at the wording. Wording is very powerful.
• 40:39
  Unhosted, right? It's it's trying to convey that
• 40:42
  a hosted wallet is the norm. Why would they want a hosted
• 40:47
  wallet as the norm? Because they can Co opt
• 40:50
  intermediaries, They can Co opt banks.
• 40:53
  They did this in in the 6102 order.
• 40:56
  The reason that they were able to do that is that the vast
• 40:59
  majority of people's gold was being custody at banks.
• 41:03
  But what happens when millions upon millions of individuals are
• 41:07
  taking self custody of their wealth and it becomes incredibly
• 41:11
  difficult to pass a six 102 order and enforce it.
• 41:16
  They don't want you taking self custody.
• 41:19
  So This is why they include this type of language, this type of
• 41:23
  rhetoric. It's very important that you
• 41:24
  identify that you you're you're aware of it.
• 41:27
  Anyways, it goes on to say which?
• 41:29
  Which are described as software or hardware that facilitates the
• 41:33
  storage of public or private keys used to digitally sign or
• 41:37
  securely transact digital assets such that the stored value is
• 41:41
  the property of the wallet owner and the wallet owner has total
• 41:45
  independent control over the value.
• 41:47
  That's right, ladies and gentlemen, holding 12 words is
• 41:52
  dangerous. It's it's it's clear and present
• 41:54
  danger. It is bad.
• 41:56
  It's bad for democracy. It's a danger for democracy.
• 41:58
  It's a danger to America. You cannot write down 12 fucking
• 42:02
  words on a piece of paper anyways.
• 42:07
  Warren's legislation proposes comes down to banks and money
• 42:10
  service businesses being required to verify customer and
• 42:13
  counterparty identity identities, keep records and
• 42:16
  file reports in relation to certain digital asset
• 42:19
  transactions involving unhosted wallets or wallets hosted in
• 42:23
  jurisdictions that are not BSA compliant.
• 42:26
  According to the bill, US residents with more than $10,000
• 42:29
  in crypto in one or more accounts outside of the country
• 42:33
  would also be required to submit reports.
• 42:36
  Quote all too often crypto is used to move illicit funds for
• 42:39
  drug cartels, criminal gangs, terrorist groups and kidnappers,
• 42:43
  said Senator Graham. Our legislation will help create
• 42:46
  transparency and provide oversight in an industry that in
• 42:49
  many cases helps facilitate criminal activity.
• 42:52
  When it comes to transparency and legality, many of the same
• 42:55
  rules that apply to the dollar should exist to crypto.
• 43:00
  So I mean like, like, I, I, I don't even know what to say when
• 43:10
  these are the same people, that these are the same people, that
• 43:16
  these are the same people that are sending literally billions
• 43:20
  of dollars to Ukraine. Are those billions of dollars
• 43:25
  being, you know, are are they being audited?
• 43:30
  Where are they going like or are they hold?
• 43:35
  Are they held to the same? Are they held to the same
• 43:39
  standards? Take a look at that at this
• 43:42
  article from Yahoo, the Pentagon's $35 trillion
• 43:46
  accounting black hole. Remember the other day when
• 43:50
  there was an article that said that, oh, we we there was a
• 43:53
  there was a we messed up on the accounting.
• 43:55
  We actually sent $11 million more to Ukraine.
• 43:58
  But they want to know what you do with every single penny.
• 44:06
  I don't know, man. I went a little bit hard in the
• 44:09
  paint today, but I just got to say, this is a crock of
• 44:12
  bullshit. And Elizabeth Warren definitely
• 44:16
  wants you to be a slave. Without a shadow of a doubt,
• 44:19
  Elizabeth Warren definitely wants to destroy Bitcoin.
• 44:23
  She won't be able to, but she could definitely make your life
• 44:26
  a lot harder, especially if you're living in the United
• 44:28
  States. So pay attention to this because
• 44:31
  this is real. And take note of all of those
• 44:34
  senators and if you happen to live in those states, vote them
• 44:37
  out. They are against you.
• 44:40
  They are against Bitcoin, and therefore they are against
• 44:43
  freedom. Anyways, Opti, what's your take
• 44:46
  on all this bro? Yeah, well, you know, as I
• 44:49
  always say, can't ban Bitcoin. You can only ban yourself from
• 44:52
  Bitcoin. So like, good thing anything
• 44:54
  Elizabeth Warren touches dies. So we'll see how this goes
• 44:57
  eventually, but it is very concerning that more people are
• 45:01
  attaching their names to this bill.
• 45:04
  But of course, you know, as we like to say, anyone that does
• 45:08
  actively fight Bitcoin is actively antifreedom and should
• 45:12
  be shamed in that. I'll stop there because I would
• 45:15
  say go back to some early American tradition.
• 45:18
  But I'm not gonna go down that path.
• 45:20
  You guys can connect the dots on that one, but you know, I'm kind
• 45:24
  of conflicted on this one, cuz on the one hand it really makes
• 45:29
  me wonder how, like, they could even try to roll this stuff out.
• 45:35
  And of course it's like. It also makes me think of the
• 45:39
  meme that all of us, Bitcoin is always say like Bitcoin is
• 45:42
  winning, Bitcoin is is inevitable and it just makes me
• 45:45
  like double down on the idea that we still have a lot of work
• 45:48
  to to do. Like we still have a lot of
• 45:51
  education to go out there. We're still going up against the
• 45:53
  great leviathan and there will be a lot of obstacles.
• 45:56
  It's it's not going to be as straightforward path as we would
• 45:59
  want it to be. You know, the unproductive
• 46:01
  parasite class are not going to give up their power, and of
• 46:04
  course they're going to roll out the same low hanging fruit
• 46:06
  examples or. Negatives of like money
• 46:10
  laundering and all that stuff and it's used by criminals and
• 46:13
  all this stuff when we all know the real criminals use the
• 46:15
  dollar. But on the other hand, more on
• 46:19
  like the pessimistic field view, it's like I just love to see
• 46:22
  them ban Bitcoin personally. Like, obviously it hurt us in
• 46:26
  the short term, but it just goes to show that.
• 46:30
  The powers that be aren't as powerful as they think they are.
• 46:33
  It's kind of like the, I think it's the Star Wars one.
• 46:36
  It's like you have no power here or whatever.
• 46:38
  And I mean, do they not remember that China banned Bitcoin mining
• 46:41
  and look what happened with that?
• 46:42
  So I think it would be very glorious and and kind of fitting
• 46:46
  to see America try to ban Bitcoin mining and just show
• 46:49
  that they are incompetent and that they have no power here.
• 46:52
  It's like, yeah, you can try to ban it, but you're just hurting
• 46:55
  yourself and the American citizens that follow along with
• 46:57
  this. And furthermore, anytime a
• 47:01
  government bans Bitcoin, or at least tries to ban Bitcoin, you
• 47:04
  know, bans Bitcoin, it just goes to it just further proves why
• 47:08
  you need Bitcoin in the 1st place.
• 47:09
  You want a money that is outside of their control, that is
• 47:12
  unsensible, that they cannot debate because we know they get
• 47:15
  their money from the money printer and that's why they want
• 47:18
  to continue to maintain that power of the Fiat system.
• 47:21
  And so it's just like, you know, on the one hand of course, as a
• 47:24
  bitcoiner I I want as, as. Least amount of friction as
• 47:28
  possible in regards to holding Bitcoin.
• 47:30
  I'd want PR our government to embrace Bitcoin.
• 47:33
  We are one of the world's economic powers.
• 47:35
  You know we have the Wall Street and all the all the capital in
• 47:38
  the US and I'd love to see that flow freely into Bitcoin.
• 47:41
  Obviously we know that that's most likely not going to happen,
• 47:45
  but. The more governments try to ban
• 47:47
  Bitcoin, the more bullish I am on why we need Bitcoin in the
• 47:50
  1st place. And then kind of going back to
• 47:52
  that price stability, memes going on it just it it always
• 47:55
  reminds me of the Hegelian dialectic, you know, create the
• 47:58
  problem and then offer the solution.
• 48:00
  And it's really just such Keynesian thinking of the.
• 48:03
  The powers that be, you know, the small caballa bankers and
• 48:06
  the bureaucrats that think they can control a complex system
• 48:08
  such as the economy and like, oh, where did this, where did
• 48:12
  this inflation come from? Like, we must blame the greedy
• 48:15
  corporate companies out there that are charging more prices.
• 48:18
  Like, hey guys, the world is getting more expensive because
• 48:22
  you are inflating away our purchasing power.
• 48:25
  It's not that difficult, but obviously they want to.
• 48:29
  Continue to obfuscate what the real problems are because they
• 48:31
  won't ever take accountability. So, you know, on the one hand,
• 48:34
  it's like you can't ban Bitcoin. On the other hand, it's like,
• 48:36
  I'd like to see you try. I'm never gonna go back to Fiat.
• 48:40
  I'm gonna hold Bitcoin throughout it all.
• 48:42
  It is what it is. But you know, I I just.
• 48:45
  I don't have faith in Elizabeth Warren and anything she does, so
• 48:48
  hopefully this will also die on the floor and it will.
• 48:51
  Just to be very clear, the probability of this passing is
• 48:57
  it's extremely low, right? They obviously don't have enough
• 49:02
  support, but just be aware, just be aware, like stay on your
• 49:07
  tippy toe, stay, you know, stay on guard.
• 49:10
  I forget where the quote, you know, the IT was a quote from
• 49:14
  from a Bitcoin developers. The worst thing that bitcoiners
• 49:17
  could do is think that we're just going to win by default,
• 49:20
  right? It really falls down to you as
• 49:22
  an individual to educate the people around you and really to
• 49:26
  wake them up to what's going on. I truly believe that.
• 49:30
  And maybe, maybe you could say that Bitcoin's gonna win by the
• 49:33
  fault because its incentives are so great.
• 49:36
  But I'll tell you what. Like, they could definitely make
• 49:39
  your life a living hell during the transition period.
• 49:42
  For sure that that. I could say that without a
• 49:45
  shadow of a doubt. So, yeah, man.
• 49:48
  Anyways, Big Sean, what's your take on all this, brother?
• 49:51
  I think, you know, it's just, it's just you can see that
• 49:54
  there's a lot of people or a few amount of people that want to
• 49:57
  keep their hold on all the power and that's what Bitcoin
• 49:59
  provides, is power back to each one of us individually.
• 50:03
  And so because Bitcoin can't be controlled, there are people who
• 50:08
  know that Fiat can be controlled and they want to siphon the
• 50:11
  money to themselves. They want to siphon it to their
• 50:13
  friends and and that's the whole reason why you would want to ban
• 50:16
  Bitcoin if you really understood what Bitcoin was.
• 50:19
  And if you had a good heart, then you you would want more
• 50:22
  people to adopt it. You would want Bitcoin to win.
• 50:25
  And the only reason why you wanted to lose is because you
• 50:27
  know that you're going to lose money and you're going to lose
• 50:30
  power. When Bitcoin comes into play.
• 50:32
  And and it just goes back to what we were saying earlier,
• 50:35
  there's a proof of stake people and there's a proof of work
• 50:38
  people. And the proof of stake people
• 50:40
  don't want to work for their money.
• 50:43
  They want to be put into a position where they stake their
• 50:46
  power. And they continue to get power
• 50:48
  because of their titles and and whatever else it might be.
• 50:52
  But the people who are are willing to work, then they let
• 50:56
  the free market take care of it. They say, if my genius, if my
• 51:00
  intelligence, if my hard work pays off, then I'll win.
• 51:03
  And if, and that puts everyone at a fair playing field.
• 51:06
  And that's what's so beautiful about Bitcoin is it doesn't
• 51:09
  matter. About who your daddy is or who
• 51:12
  your mommy is. It doesn't matter what your
• 51:14
  title is or what politician rank you are.
• 51:17
  It just matters what you do and what your work is.
• 51:20
  And if your work is good, then you get rewarded for it.
• 51:23
  And if your work is bad, then you don't.
• 51:25
  And it's that simple. And I think that's the beautiful
• 51:27
  part about Bitcoin is it doesn't matter that Michael Saylor has,
• 51:31
  you know, hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin or whatever, how much
• 51:33
  that Bitcoin he has and you know, and you may have one or
• 51:37
  none. You still have the same power
• 51:40
  over the network but someone who's in power like Elizabeth
• 51:43
  Warren she has so much power over the dollar network and
• 51:48
  someone like us has no power over it And so that it just
• 51:51
  flips the whole system and it makes it fair for the individual
• 51:55
  and and the the one more thing I'll say is the the way they'll
• 51:59
  try to ban Bitcoin. And notice she only said crypto.
• 52:02
  She actually didn't even say Bitcoin and but the way that
• 52:04
  they'll try to ban Bitcoin. And and that people will fall
• 52:08
  for it is is because they're talking about the unhosted
• 52:13
  wallets, right. Like self custody.
• 52:15
  As Opti says, self custody is the revolution.
• 52:18
  And so the way that they'll get people to not self custody is
• 52:21
  they'll say, oh, you could lose your Bitcoin forever.
• 52:24
  You know, this is a way to protect you.
• 52:27
  We'll have customer service. We'll have someone who will have
• 52:30
  your backup password. But the the whole question that
• 52:33
  you know that we always ask ourselves is if.
• 52:36
  I don't have control, and that's what the IT said in an article.
• 52:39
  Total control over their own money, over their own value.
• 52:42
  If I don't have control over my money, is it even my money?
• 52:47
  And it's not. So you have to have control over
• 52:50
  your money. There can't be a trusted third
• 52:52
  party involved. And if there is, then it's not
• 52:55
  your money, it's permission to you.
• 52:57
  If they let you use it 100 percent, 100% and dude, you hit
• 53:02
  the nail on the head like, and I've told this option, I've said
• 53:06
  this many times on simply Bitcoin, there's two attack
• 53:09
  vectors. There's the attack on minors,
• 53:11
  which I don't think will be successful just because the
• 53:13
  incentives are too strong. But I think the more successful
• 53:17
  attack that's going to happen is the attack on self custody.
• 53:20
  And they're going to do exactly what Big Sean said, which is why
• 53:24
  a lot of people are celebrating this spot Bitcoin ETF.
• 53:26
  That's a doubleedged sword because people are going to
• 53:28
  comfortable buying it on their Charles Schwab account or Robin
• 53:31
  Hood account. Say, oh I have Bitcoin.
• 53:33
  No you don't. No you don't.
• 53:35
  You have an IOU. Someone else is holding, quote
• 53:38
  UN quote your Bitcoin, it's not yours until you take self
• 53:42
  custody. Which is why we recommend, you
• 53:44
  know, properly securing your backup wallet.
• 53:47
  Seed words. Get yourself a stamp seed, get
• 53:49
  yourself a hardware wallet like the passport from foundation.
• 53:53
  It's awesome. Take self custody of your
• 53:55
  Bitcoin. That's how you do it.
• 53:56
  And you know, get yourself a note if if you don't want to
• 53:59
  trust someone else's node. Right.
• 54:00
  And obviously we recommend the start nine anyways.
• 54:03
  Before we move on to the culture to talk about culture things, I
• 54:08

• 55:39
  It's going to be in Nashville TN July 25th through the 27th 2024
• 55:45
  Bitcoin 2024. Anyways Opti, Speaking of other
• 55:49
  events, I am super fucking hyped for the Bitcoin having party
• 55:54
  thrown by our brothers in arms at the meme factory that
• 55:59
  supposedly does not exist. How are you guys throwing a
• 56:02
  party if you guys don't exist? What?
• 56:04
  How does that work? Dude, it's a it's it's a lot of
• 56:08
  hard work, but you know, even though we don't exist.
• 56:12
  You know, I think a lot of people just have been wanting to
• 56:14
  go to El Salvador. Obviously, we're throwing the
• 56:16
  Bitcoin party in El Salvador. We have a lot of participants,
• 56:20
  as you're seeing right here, you know, and it's just going to be
• 56:24
  a good time, right? I think the biggest thing that
• 56:26
  we try to harp on is. You're going to get to go to El
• 56:29
  Salvador, experience this country for the first time
• 56:32
  because a lot of people you know there's about, you know, I I
• 56:35
  listen to Max and Stacy a lot and you know, best legs in
• 56:38
  Bitcoin and the best hair in Bitcoin with Max and Stacy.
• 56:42
  And they've talked a lot about how there's over 100 people a
• 56:45
  month move into El Salvador. And I think a lot of people want
• 56:49
  to see what it's like down there.
• 56:51
  What is the first Bitcoin country really like?
• 56:54
  And they just haven't had the opportunity to make it down
• 56:56
  there. They haven't had the chance to,
• 56:58
  you know, what am I going to do when I'm down there?
• 57:00
  Who am I going to hang out with? And so, you know, when I first
• 57:05
  got into Bitcoin, I was really excited.
• 57:07
  And then leading up into the having of 2020, I got really
• 57:10
  excited for that having. And what went on, it was just
• 57:15
  like watching Pump crack open a beer on YouTube.
• 57:18
  And it sucked. And I was like we got to do
• 57:21
  something better for the having. And I'm not, you know, I'm not a
• 57:25
  dev. None of us at the Mean, you
• 57:26
  know, at the Mean factory, we're not software developers.
• 57:29
  So we do what we can do, right? And we like to mean, we like to
• 57:33
  party and so we decided to to do the having party and it's not an
• 57:38
  event, you know that happens once every year.
• 57:40
  So potato. Potato.
• 57:43
  So we really do our work to make sure, right, this is going to be
• 57:46
  once every four years and this is the first one of its kind and
• 57:50
  it's going to be in El Salvador. It's going to be the plebs.
• 57:53
  Yeah, there will be some big names there.
• 57:56
  Flood Greg Zage's DMS because he loves that and but wasn't
• 58:03
  anything just come to El Salvador.
• 58:06
  It's going to be so much fun because it's going to be
• 58:09
  unlimited food, unlimited drinks, you know, it's an
• 58:11
  affordable, an affordable price and it's just going to be a
• 58:14
  blast and. If you use code simply you do
• 58:18
  get 10% off. So that's right guys and it's in
• 58:22
  the it's in every video description.
• 58:25
  If you guys go to the video description where it says
• 58:27
  Bitcoin conference discounts, you'll see the Bitcoin having
• 58:31
  party with the link to the website and you can use promo
• 58:33
  code simply to get a discount too.
• 58:36
  The Bitcoin having party, which I'm super, super hyped about, I
• 58:40
  think it's going to be awesome. Opti night will be there.
• 58:43
  It's going to be a grand old time.
• 58:45
  Maybe we do a simply Bitcoin live from the hotel next to the
• 58:49
  pool. Maybe, maybe I'm feeling it.
• 58:52
  I think we're going to do it, Opti.
• 58:54
  I'm feeling it and. I'm up for it.
• 58:55
  I see it. I see a question.
• 58:56
  What city is it in? It's it's about an hour from
• 58:59
  Elzonte, which is Bitcoin Beach, and it's at this resort called
• 59:03
  Royale, the Cameron. It's going to be everyone's
• 59:06
  going to be at this one resort, and so you're going to be able
• 59:08
  to hang around. A lot of Bitcoiners talk and
• 59:10
  network. There's always new ideas and new
• 59:13
  businesses being built. When you got bitcoiners hanging
• 59:15
  around with each other, to me the best thing, you know, when I
• 59:18
  got into Bitcoin, another thing that was hard for me was, you
• 59:22
  know, I kind of felt like I was crazy.
• 59:24
  Right. Like, I felt like, hey, no one
• 59:26
  in my life understands this. I'm talking to a lot of people
• 59:29
  about it. They don't care.
• 59:31
  They don't, you know, they don't want to understand it.
• 59:33
  And so then when I got on the Twitter, that was when it was
• 59:36
  like, oh, there's actually people who understand what's
• 59:40
  going on and they're paying attention and they care.
• 59:42
  And then when I started going to meetups, it just took it to a
• 59:45
  whole another, a whole another level.
• 59:46
  And so meeting people is, in my opinion, meeting bitcoiners.
• 59:51
  It really does spark a lot of thought.
• 59:53
  And and that's the whole, you know, that's what we're trying
• 59:56
  to do is get more thought out there, get people to understand
• 59:58
  what's going on. You know, how many people have
• 1:00:01
  heard of Bitcoin? Now everyone that I know knows
• 1:00:04
  about Bitcoin. And most of them, they still
• 1:00:07
  don't even know what the having is, you know.
• 1:00:08
  And so I'm like, okay, well, let's do this, Let's do a having
• 1:00:11
  party. If you can understand what the
• 1:00:12
  having is. If it helps you understand a
• 1:00:14
  little bit more about the cycles in Bitcoin, it helps you
• 1:00:17
  understand why the price goes up, why it goes down.
• 1:00:20
  It helps you understand a ton about Bitcoin and the scarcity
• 1:00:23
  more than anything. And so there's so much that
• 1:00:26
  people need to learn. And I think by just having a
• 1:00:28
  party and celebrating this bear market we've gone through, this
• 1:00:31
  bull market we're going to enter into, it's going to be so much
• 1:00:34
  fun. There's been a lot of games.
• 1:00:36
  There's going to be some Bitcoin Cash prizes.
• 1:00:38
  And so come on down. Bring your family.
• 1:00:41
  Wait, wait, wait, You said Bitcoin cash prizes?
• 1:00:44
  Wait. What?
• 1:00:46
  Let's make them full screen Bitcoin prizes.
• 1:00:49
  Not in cash. Not Bitcoin.
• 1:00:50
  No, no, not Bitcoin Cash, just Bitcoin prize, right?
• 1:00:55
  So have a have a good time. You will have a great time when
• 1:00:59
  you're down in El Salvador. I've been down there.
• 1:01:01
  We went up and down the coast looking for the best resort and
• 1:01:04
  we found it and it's going to be awesome.
• 1:01:06
  So come enjoy us. That's going to be April 3rd to
• 1:01:08
  the 5th and go to bitcoinhavingparty.com to check
• 1:01:11
  it out. Let's go.
• 1:01:12
  There was one more question in the chat, Sean.
• 1:01:15
  People were asking about the prices.
• 1:01:16
  So what's the deal? They just get a hotel room and
• 1:01:20
  they're part of the having party or how's this working out?
• 1:01:23
  What's the logistics? Yeah, so the logistics are go to
• 1:01:28
  bitcoinhavingparty.com, you buy your ticket, use the code
• 1:01:31
  simply. That'll get you 10% off.
• 1:01:34
  We've been selling tickets since May and we're about halfway
• 1:01:37
  filled up right now, so tickets have just been flying off.
• 1:01:41
  And then on top of that, we'll give you instructions on how to
• 1:01:44
  book the hotel. We have the whole resort booked
• 1:01:47
  out for us over about 500 rooms. And so we have the whole hotel
• 1:01:52
  reserved for us. And they said this is the
• 1:01:54
  fastest we've been working with them and and they've been doing
• 1:01:57
  this for about 14 years. They said this is the fastest
• 1:02:00
  that any event has ever been booked out.
• 1:02:02
  So they're really happy with us. We're really happy with them.
• 1:02:07
  And then once you, once you have your ticket and your room, you
• 1:02:11
  know, book your flight, come, come to El Salvador.
• 1:02:13
  If you're not already living in El Salvador, come to El
• 1:02:15
  Salvador. And we have people coming from
• 1:02:18
  all over the world, from Australia already, from, you
• 1:02:21
  know, Sweden, from Canada, the US, other countries in Europe,
• 1:02:26
  obviously, Latin America, Africa.
• 1:02:28
  So we really do have people coming from all over the world.
• 1:02:31
  And it's it's just going to be a place where pubs can meet up and
• 1:02:35
  enjoy what we have, this special thing called Bitcoin.
• 1:02:39
  And I'm grateful, you know, I'm grateful that for one reason or
• 1:02:42
  another I was able to go down this rabbit hole.
• 1:02:45
  And so it's been good for me to feel like hey I can give back to
• 1:02:49
  Bitcoin and and the Mean factory in general.
• 1:02:52
  We're all excited to be able to give back to Bitcoin.
• 1:02:55
  It's not just me. This is the whole Mean factory
• 1:02:58

  S, yeah. So type it in exactly how it is
• 1:04:50
  in the description, everybody. So it's at capital SIMPLY.
• 1:04:56
  Yeah, Okay. And last question before we move
• 1:04:59
  on, Sean. There's something you've told me
• 1:05:01
  behind the scenes and and just to be clear guys, besides of
• 1:05:04
  course the live, simply Bitcoin poolside chat or whatever we're
• 1:05:09
  we're potentially doing, this isn't going to be like a
• 1:05:11
  conference. It's not going to be speakers.
• 1:05:13
  This is a party. This is a celebration.
• 1:05:15
  Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:05:16
  So it's not going to be, it's not, you know, a typical
• 1:05:18
  conference where most conferences you go up and
• 1:05:21
  there's just so many speakers and it becomes a lobby con,
• 1:05:24
  right. And so with with the having
• 1:05:26
  party, yes, there will be a couple of workshops, right.
• 1:05:30
  But you know BTC sessions, he'll be down there that you know, we
• 1:05:33
  want to have some workshops where people can learn how to
• 1:05:35
  self custody. You know, we want to, you know,
• 1:05:38
  we've been talking with Hollow Tarantula and we want to have,
• 1:05:41
  you know some workshops where people can learn how to mine
• 1:05:44
  Bitcoin and do different things like that.
• 1:05:46
  We may have one day, I think we're looking at maybe just one
• 1:05:49
  day or 1/2 day of speakers. Other than that, they'll just be
• 1:05:53
  games. They'll be food.
• 1:05:55
  You know, we have our own private beach.
• 1:05:57
  There's pools, get to know people.
• 1:06:00
  You know, that's that's the biggest thing is we want to
• 1:06:02
  provide opportunities where people can come down to El
• 1:06:05
  Salvador, they can, they can meet people that maybe they
• 1:06:08
  haven't met in real life before. They can hang out with new
• 1:06:11
  friends and meet new friends. They can toss ideas around and
• 1:06:15
  and just enjoy El Salvador. And I always recommend to
• 1:06:18
  people, hey, you know, come come on down and check out Bitcoin
• 1:06:23
  Beach as well, Check out El, you know Elzonte, check out El San
• 1:06:27
  Salvador, go to Santa Ana, which where the volcano is, go to a
• 1:06:31
  lot of different places in El Salvador.
• 1:06:33
  Don't just come to the having party, but make it a full trip.
• 1:06:36
  And we want you to come to the having party for a couple days
• 1:06:39
  and then go out and enjoy the rest of of El Salvador as well.
• 1:06:43
  And maybe you'll meet friends and be able to do some things
• 1:06:46
  together as well down there. So that's that's my goal is we
• 1:06:49
  can just bring people to El Salvador, see what it's like.
• 1:06:53
  You know, it's fun to go and you just go and you, hey, can I pay
• 1:06:56
  with this in Bitcoin? And people don't laugh at you.
• 1:06:58
  They either say, yeah, yeah, we accept Bitcoin here or they say,
• 1:07:01
  oh, we don't accept it yet, right.
• 1:07:02
  One or the other. And so learn a little bit of
• 1:07:05
  Spanish and and have have a good time.
• 1:07:08
  Yeah, maybe you need to learn how to say do you accept Bitcoin
• 1:07:11
  in Spanish. And.
• 1:07:13
  And it'll be fun. It's just going to be a lot of
• 1:07:15
  fun down there. Man, I'm so excited.
• 1:07:18
  Opti and I, we're we're joking. We're saying we're gonna try to
• 1:07:21
  hold it down here in the US, but if all else fail, if all else
• 1:07:26
  fails, we're gonna move, tell Salvador, maybe change the name
• 1:07:29
  to. Implemented.
• 1:07:32
  Implemented it coin implemented it.
• 1:07:36

  and I wanted to add this one. Because it's kind of been a
• 1:10:03
  constant theme here, and it's kind of cute, but it's also
• 1:10:06
  pretty savage. And we got this little Kitty
• 1:10:08
  here And he goes, hey, stop scrolling and his eyes come up
• 1:10:11
  and say one second, Please wait. And then there's a cat with a
• 1:10:14
  what? Like a bear hat.
• 1:10:15
  And he goes, I just wanted to let you know that the government
• 1:10:17
  is your enemy. And I love you.
• 1:10:20
  Yes, highly. Double down on this one.
• 1:10:23
  Highly agree Okay. This next one is by John X
• 1:10:25
  Osterman on Twitter and he goes hashtag Bitcoin only.
• 1:10:29
  And we got a your exgirlfriend here looking at your phone and
• 1:10:33
  she goes when she looks through your phone.
• 1:10:34
  But all she can find is Bitcoin memes.
• 1:10:36
  And she's so disappointed because she was hoping you were
• 1:10:40
  cheating, but now she knows you're just some crazy person on
• 1:10:44
  the Internet. Micro niche celebrity on the
• 1:10:46
  Internet only talking about Bitcoin.
• 1:10:48
  She should probably already knows this anyways.
• 1:10:49
  Anyways this next meme is by Max's club and he goes 523 tick
• 1:10:52
  tock and he goes Bitcoin is waiting for the having and we
• 1:10:55
  got an army here and goes you've changed and we got a bitcoiner
• 1:10:58
  and Bitcoin Zen and El Salvador going.
• 1:11:00
  You wouldn't get it, you just wouldn't get it.
• 1:11:02
  Even though I tried to explain to you what the having is, why
• 1:11:04
  it's important why we're going to El Salvador you still don't
• 1:11:07
  get it even though I am in Bitcoin Zen.
• 1:11:09
  OK, this next one is by, well, Jack Bitcoin.
• 1:11:12
  And I love this one cuz there is so many critics out there saying
• 1:11:16
  that bitcoiners are stupid. Remember we've been called what
• 1:11:18
  we've been called 80 IQ, we've been called illiterate
• 1:11:22
  bitcoiners financial terrorists. All of the words and it gets
• 1:11:27
  summed up perfectly here And we got Nasim, Talib and it goes
• 1:11:29
  Bitcoin is useless. It's a Ponzi scheme, a tumor,
• 1:11:32
  and a detector of imbeciles. And and then we got Willie.
• 1:11:37
  I'm a creative Noster. I built a decentralized social
• 1:11:39
  network on top of the Bitcoin lightning network we have.
• 1:11:42
  I don't know who this one is. We have some other dude says.
• 1:11:46
  I use Bitcoin mining to monetize flared natural gas that would
• 1:11:48
  otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
• 1:11:51
  We have Jack Mahler's. I founded a company that helped
• 1:11:53
  people send remittances globally instantly and cheaply.
• 1:11:56
  With Bitcoin we have Sailor. I use Bitcoin to preserve the
• 1:11:59
  wealth of my billion dollar company.
• 1:12:01
  We have naive boukale. With Bitcoin my country can
• 1:12:03
  escape US Dodger dollar hegemony.
• 1:12:06
  It's almost like Bitcoin works and it's almost like Bitcoin is
• 1:12:08
  saving people out there. But you know the people in the
• 1:12:11
  West, the intellectual yet idiots, aka Nas and Talibs.
• 1:12:15
  Just can't see what's right in front of him.
• 1:12:16
  It is what it is. This next meme is by playing
• 1:12:19
  Marcus, aka at playing under score Marcus.
• 1:12:21
  And he goes, it is what it is. I just said that hashtag Bitcoin
• 1:12:25
  and we got this giant. I forget what he's like a
• 1:12:26
  bodybuilder. He's out freaking Viking in real
• 1:12:29
  life and he goes talking Bitcoin with my friends and family and
• 1:12:31
  he's just bigger than everyone else and you know just full chat
• 1:12:34
  mode and then talking Bitcoin with bitcoiners and I think this
• 1:12:38
  is his brothers and he's smaller than his brothers.
• 1:12:40
  They must be absolute units, but.
• 1:12:43
  Is how it feels like. And this is what the having
• 1:12:44
  party is going to be like. Like in your normal everyday
• 1:12:47
  life, you know, you're the crazy bitcoiner.
• 1:12:49
  You're way ahead of the curve. And then when you talk to
• 1:12:51
  bitcoiners, you just realize like, wait, I know nothing.
• 1:12:54
  I'm an absolute idiot. These guys are so smart.
• 1:12:57
  OK, next meme is by count on Bitcoin.
• 1:13:00
  And he goes, we're moving to Noster and I and I think you
• 1:13:04
  guys saw, so there is a community note here, but
• 1:13:07
  apparently you know Elon Musk said that Twitter will become
• 1:13:10
  fully paid. They will move to an economic
• 1:13:13
  model of a small monthly payment to use X and everyone's like,
• 1:13:15
  pack your crap up. We're moving to Noster.
• 1:13:18
  It's almost like Twitter is suiciding itself and shooting
• 1:13:21
  themselves in the foot and making the platform just
• 1:13:24
  unusable and no one's gonna want to use it.
• 1:13:26
  So I guess maybe we're all going to do a mass migration to Noster
• 1:13:30
  and maybe this time it'll stick, even though we always leave for
• 1:13:33
  another platform and we always end up back on Twitter.
• 1:13:35
  I don't know. Whatever.
• 1:13:36
  And this last one shouts up to my boy over at orange label, aka
• 1:13:40
  at label under score. Orange, you guys don't fall for
• 1:13:43
  the psyops. Also have fun.
• 1:13:45
  And we have, you know, Pepe the Frog in the psyop in the
• 1:13:48
  brainwashing. Guys do not get brainwashed out
• 1:13:51
  there unplugged from the televisions.
• 1:13:53
  And why? Why do I need to update my
• 1:13:55
  browser? What's going on here?
• 1:13:58
  OK, all right, whatever is my browser.
• 1:14:01
  Maybe it does. I don't know what's what's going
• 1:14:03
  on here. What?
• 1:14:03
  What are we getting trolled here for?
• 1:14:05

• 1:14:08

  before before we migrate to Twitter Spaces and hopefully Big

  Sean could join us, take it seriously.
• 1:20:40
  I know we have a lot of fun and we take a lighthearted approach
• 1:20:42
  and we do that on purpose. We like to entertain, but the
• 1:20:46
  stuff that we cover is serious and what is happening today is
• 1:20:51
  very serious and it truly is a, you know, a future which you're
• 1:20:57
  going to have to choose. Between Bitcoin or slavery.
• 1:21:01
  And that is a choice not only for yourself but also your your
• 1:21:04
  children, your children's children and your children's
• 1:21:07
  children's children moving forward.
• 1:21:10
  So what side of the football you want to be on where?
• 1:21:14
  Where do you want to tell you where?
• 1:21:15
  Where do you want to tell your grandchildren 50 years from now
• 1:21:20
  what you were doing during the separation of money in state?
• 1:21:24
  I do believe with what Marty Bent is saying that we are we
• 1:21:27
  are going to win this, but. But we have to take it
• 1:21:30
  seriously, You know, spread, take agency, You know, keep up
• 1:21:33
  the pressure with the memes, Keep up the pressure with the
• 1:21:36
  Bitcoin content. Be the Uncle Jim and your
• 1:21:38
  family, you know, Orange pill the people around you and stop
• 1:21:43
  and try to get people to stop fighting.
• 1:21:45
  It's not left first, right. I feel like that's the really,
• 1:21:48
  really useful divide and conquer strategy.
• 1:21:51
  Anyways, love you guys. I've really, really enjoyed
• 1:21:54
  today's show. We're going to be hosting a
• 1:21:56
  Twitter Spaces. Until 2:00 PM.
• 1:21:59
  So if you want to join the after party, Opti's gonna be holding
• 1:22:02
  it down to cohost its face with our friends over at Swan
• 1:22:04
  Bitcoin. Best place to build your Bitcoin
• 1:22:06
  stack? Shout out to the best producer
• 1:22:07
  in the game, Producer Jacob. We'll see you guys tomorrow for
• 1:22:11
  a brand new episode of Simply Bitcoin Live.
• 1:22:26
  This guy gets it big. Sean Harris is a legend.
• 1:22:30
  He, you know, was a professional basketball player.
• 1:22:33
  Everything is basketball. But you can really tell that
• 1:22:35
  he's got that winning mentality in life and and that's the
• 1:22:38
  that's the energy we like to spread on simply Bitcoin because
• 1:22:43
  it's almost low key. It's kind of been a running jug
• 1:22:46
  within the Simply Bitcoin company that simply Bitcoin is
• 1:22:49
  transitioning into a lifestyle brand.
• 1:22:53
  We talk about health. We talk about getting your money
• 1:22:56
  right. We talk about building
• 1:22:57
  relationships and and you know, building things you want to see
• 1:23:01
  in the world. And I think Big Sean Harris is
• 1:23:06
  part of the having part.
